A/N So, it didn't take that long, did it? Well, here it is the next chapter. Who-hoo! Sorry about the shortness... Thanks for the kind reviews... it seems as I tend to get 3-4 reviews on every chapter... :pout: well, well, less people read DD that Yu-Gi-Oh! And the next update, or the one after that, won't be until Friday next week, I'm living with my father that week and he doesn't have Internet.... Stupid him!

Special notes to; A THREE; I'm sorry, I didn't know Raenef was married to you, but I promise, you'll get him back safe and sound when the story is over, ok? And, yeah, I misspelled mistakes intentionally.

Special note to; Rebecka; Shin is engaged to Raenef and therefore he can kiss him without breaking Demon etiquette. Sure, it may have been a little early, but I had to do it to get the plot moving forward. (sorry if I rambled on in the email, I have the tendency to do that...)

Special note to; noone; He is interested in Eclipse because... :Shin covers my mouth:

Shin; Don't tell! You'll ruin the plot!

Me; :scratches the back of my head: yeah.. You're right, I forgot... but I'll shut my big mouth and just let them read the story! :shuts up:

Special note to; noone; (again) I'm so sorry, I have now edited this chapter and it was supposed to be a 'never' before 'loosing', sorry again...

No turning back – Chapter Four "Love is just a game for two...?"

Eclipse turned his back on the servants and walked over to his master's side. "Yes?"

Raenef looked up into Eclipse's face and blushed again. "Eclipse, can you please..." Raenef motioned towards the servants who were listening to everything they said.

Eclipse nodded and walked back to the other side of the room, pleased that he could kick them out of the room. "Leave, my master does not need your presence in here." He said to the group of people.

"We only obey our master's command." Said one of the servants, earning nods of approval from the other servants.

Eclipse's eyes went dark and in his palm a ball of fire appeared. "I do not care whom you serve, I want you to leave this room... now, or else your master will have less servants than when he came. And believe me, that is not an empty threat..."

The servants looked at each other before hurrying out of the room, glaring daggers at Eclipse. Eclipse only turned around and walked back to Raenef.

Shin looked at the two and raised an eyebrow. "What is it you wish to talk to me about?" he asked and sat down in the chair opposite of Raenef.

"I... I wanted to talk about y...your letter..." Raenef begun.

"Sure, go on..." Shin nodded and smiled gently towards Raenef.

"I... Eclipse, can you tell him..? I don't know what to say!" Raenef hid his face in his hands and he felt like crying.

"What master Raenef is trying to say is that when he received your letter, he did not know that it was a proposal..." Eclipse stated calmly, seeing the hurt look in the other mans face gave him some sort of satisfaction and he smirked inwardly.

"What do you mean by that? I made it perfectly clear that I wanted to marry him!" Shin bolted up, glaring at Eclipse.

"I am sure you did, but my master is a bit... um... let's just say he knows very little of Demon etiquette..." the raven haired man said.

"But then why did he respond, saying 'yes' to my proposal?" Shin said, sitting down again.

"As I said, he thought that when you told him that you would be happy to see the two of you form an alliance between your families. And that you would be delighted to visit him if he accepted your offer, that he only invited you to visit him for a limited amount of time. So, he did not mean to accept your proposal, Lord Shin."

"Well... even though, he did accept my offer, and that means we are indeed betrothed." Shin said and smirked towards Raenef.

"Since he did not know what he was signing, that letter can not be binding! I must insist that you release him from his promise." Eclipse said and took a step closer to Shin.

"No... But if what you say is true, I will let the Demon Council decide what we are supposed to do in this matter... But I warn you, I am not willing to let Raenef go that easily." Shin stood up and walked up to Eclipse.

"In that case... I believe that is all we can ask of you, thank you for your reasonable attitude in this matter, Lord Shin." Eclipse didn't look at Shin when he walked by him; he just stood there, staring at the seemingly endless rows of bookcases.

Shin smiled and stopped at the armchair Raenef was seated in. "Raenef..."

Raenef took his hands down from his face and glanced up at Shin. "Yes?"

"I'm sorry, but I will not let you go..." Shin leaned his head down and kissed Raenef softly on the lips.

The contact was brief and soon Raenef felt a soft brush of air and he opened his eyes, he didn't remember closing them in the first place. "Huh...? Where did he go?" Raenef looked around in the large room but saw no one besides Eclipse.

"I believe he went back to his room, my lord." Eclipse's voice was stern and his back was still turned towards Raenef.

"Are you m... mad at me again, Eclipse?" Raenef's eyes began to water up as he curled up in his chair.

"..." Eclipse slowly turned around and looked over towards Raenef.

"I knew it! I've failed you again, haven't I?" The tears started trickling down his cheeks, clouding his vision. He were still crying when he felt someone pick him up and then gently lay him down on something soft. Suddenly he felt so tired....

"Raenef... I'm not angry... you know I can't be angry with you..." a soft, dark voice said while a hand gently moved away a few strands of hair from his face.

Raenef felt like jumping of joy. Eclipse had finally said only his name and not 'master' or 'my lord'. He wanted to open his eyes and smile, but his eyelids were too heavy and his body too tired.

"Sleep well... Raenef..." Eclipse stood up and began to walk out of the room when he changed his mind and walked back to Raenef's bed where he had laid him down. Eclipse bent over and let his lips flutter across Raenef's in a short, barely touching kiss.

Eclipse straightened up again and looked down on his now sleeping master. "I love you, my little master... I love you out of the whole of my heart and being, and I will never loose you to someone else, ever."
