Author: WARNING! If you can't stand Shounen-Ai, do NOT read this chapter. This is the only chapter that skirts the PG-13 rating. I am not going to be like some individuals and include the sex scene. No. I refuse! It's just going to be very very heavily implied. You have been warned.

Shu was chewing on the end of a pen, his cheeks flushed slightly. What had possessed him earlier? Was he completely insane? He sighed, glared at his math textbook and slammed it shut. Damn finals tomorrow. When he leaned back, he was startled to be looking up into Shin's amused blue/green eyes.

"Shin..." he murmured softly, a blush coloring his cheeks. "I'm sorry about earlier..."

Shin smiled and shook his head. "Nothing to apologize about."

"Still, I shouldn't have..."

"...forced yourself on me? Did it look like I wanted you to stop?"

Shu shook his head slowly, hesitant. "But..."

He couldn't finish the sentence, since Shin's lips were lightly pressed against his. He closed his eyes and gently brushed the back of his hand against Shin's face. Shin pulled away and smiled.

"There. Don't feel like you've done something bad anymore."

Shin pulled back and dragged a chair up next to Shu, and sat next to him.

"I've been meaning to tell you for a while now, anyway..." Shin murmured and looked away, appearing sheepish and embarrassed.

Shu was stunned. "You feel the same way?"

"Yes."

Their lips found each other again, but instead of being just a kiss it was something more. Something that made Shu feel weak and strengthened that made him want Shin more than he thought he had. He didn't notice when Shin stood, pulling him up with him. He was amazed, praying that he wasn't dreaming. Shu's hands began to lightly caress Shin, who shivered. Shu stopped for a moment, hesitant, his brain confused. What was he doing? Another kiss drew his mind away from rational thought. The emotions he had kept secret and silent for so long finally rose and engulfed him. He tore of Shin's light jacket and roughly pulled off his T-shirt. He was encouraged by Shin's light laughter and the fact that Shin was also removing his clothes. He heard Shin whisper something to him, and he struggled to focus on the question. It was brushed away from his mind when he felt Shin's lips on his chest, felt Shin's hands caressing his back. He moaned and decided that anything Shin said couldn't be too unreasonable. He gasped when he discovered that their clothes had been completely discarded, but Shin's encouraging whisper drove any doubts from his mind as they fell onto the bed together, Shu's armor ball dimming to a muddy orange, it's light fading under each moan.

Kisu gently played with Kage's hair as Kage's head rested in his lap.

"You've done well."

"There's only two left now. They'll be harder, though."

"Kage, if you can convince the most moral of all the Ronins to trust you and convert, I'm certain that we can get Toma and Seiji to come over."

Kage nodded slightly, his violently blue eyes closing, lulled by the power that surrounded Kisu and the heat of the fire on his face. Kisu waited until Kage was asleep and then picked him up, placing him on their bed.

"You have done so well, my little firebug. It's only fair that I work again to pull Seiji over to us. But how?" Kisu kissed Kage's lips lightly before turning and walking out the door of their room, going to greet his two new Warlords and to ponder over how to twist Seiji to his own use.

Author: Sorry, sorry. Short, I know. But I have to think on how to convert Seiji. Any and all ideas are welcome.
