Im expecting, this whole fic. Will be approximately about ...oh....20 chapters at best. I don't wanna make it huge. But I'll probably make a sequel for those who like Ryu/Mr.X I have such an awesome idea. But BLAH read on XD

Chapter Seven
Whims of The Heart

The ground below was rich in its fertile soil. Long stretches of grass sprout up from the Earth, stretching like plants. Dampened by the previous rainfall in the earlier day. The aircraft that had rode for almost half of the day began to descend upon the paradise like area. Animals scurry far away from the airplane. High tech as it was, did not make it anymore graceful then the common plane at airports. With a great thunk it landed hard on the ground. Spreading debris to each side, the wheels digging into the soil.

The passengers inside glued themselves to the nearest window. The girls that is, looking at the spectacular, almost, enchanted view of the hotel. It was like a fairy tale. A large castle, decorated with very fashionable decorations. There was a moat , and gates. A bridge. A large lake to the side of it. Followed by that, there was enough greenery to fill two farm fields. Animals, rare and common, were in sight, most of the time. Butterflies flapped around, landing on flowers and grass constantly.

It was a sight that wouldn't be forgotten so easily.

"Look Mr. Fairy! It's the Fairy place! The Fairy place!" Hattie screamed out in joy, running to the door exit of the aircraft. Possibly to see Frank and point out the wonders of this place. Dan reached out, hoping that he could have stopped her, and let her wait for the rest but it seemed, everyone had the same idea. With little more then a annoyed look he grasped his suitcase, taking it outside.

A cold blast of wind hit him like a full powered fan. It felt nice and odd at the same time. This place truly seemed enchanting in Dan's eyes. Looking around, the British pilot could see the surprise and amazement on everyone's face, truly breathtaking. "Everyone, attention please" the FUNERAL members lined up, saluting. At this Inness had to use all her will power to not laugh at them. It was odd, to see her own soldiers, saluting in casual clothing.

"Don't salute. Please, it will make me laugh" the salute dropped, and like properly trained soldiers they stood with their hands to their side. A twitch of a smile spread of Inness but she hid it well "for the next three days you all will be free of duty. At the same, you are free to wander to the city just 3 miles away. Paired up in rooms, you will treat your roommate with respect" at this she paused, eyeing Dan and Ryu expectedly.

"Not only that" She continued, becoming dull in her own speech "you will participate in the many events planned. Not all but a few. I hope to see a effort in these, as you will be given a prize at the end." The commander turned away but stopped, "also dinner is served at 6pm and lunch is noon, breakfast will be 7am. Dismissed" She hollered and strode away. Clasping her hands behind her back, as expected, Michael began to follow her.

"Come on Hattie lets go find some fairies!" Sue exclaimed, suddenly becoming energetic with enthusiasm heading toward the pond and field of exotic flowers. The white haired girl grasped Hattie's arm lightly as she raced off, leaving poor Frank alone. But he didn't seem unhappy. Hell, he didn't even look alive.

Guinvere looked at the remaining two with a smirk and sauntered off, heading toward the castle, crossing the bridge before she was out of sight. Heading toward the bedroom probably. Or to the Spa's as Dan guessed. That left the final two, flanked in the shadows by the overly large alien that sat in silence. Like a slab of stone or a statue. For Ryu it was too close for comfort, but Dan was there....

"Want to head to the room?" Ryu suggested, striking up the conversation first to pass time. It was only a couple of hours before dinner, and he was going to make the most of it. One way or another. A shrug was Ryu's response, surprised that Dan was heading to the castle, and he followed watching intently. The kiss had been something to shut the damn British pilot up. The second was one more of affection then anything else. And then the words he spoke to the blonde was desire. He knew he was playing a dangerous game, but when he had the first kiss. It was so sudden.

He also knew what his desire was. It was Dan. Maki was a thing of the past, he had to learn he will never see her again. But it stroke him odd that he was a Bi. Interested in girls and guys. Ryu quirked a smile as Dan spun around, looking nervous as the only thing he had heard since departing was chirping of birds, and the long speech of the commander.

Now that he was with Ryu. Dan wished that he would talk more. His voice wasn't that bad. Not when you get use to it.

"What are you staring for?"

"I thought you might need a hand with you bag"

"Well, I don't for your information."

"Okay then." Ryu took Dan's bag as he stepped by, walking ahead while Dan clenched his fists. Shaking slightly as he thought of hitting Ryu in the back of the head. But then, how hallow was it? Nothing was exchanged during the brief climb up the staircase. Both seemed to be observing the other. It was a strange way of communicating (or lack of it) but it held well.

Opening the door Ryu frowned at the unusual way. Unlike the base where you needed a key card, this was more of just a normal brown door with a gold knob. Opening up Ryu almost took a tempting step backwards. The room was spectacular. A chandelier was hanging high above, the floor decorated with a beautiful well oven carpet with the inscriptions of ancient dragons on it. The bed was a King sized. Fitting likely, more than a mere two people. The window was black and gray, already open to let in the cool air from outside.

The furniture was made out of a dark red cherry color, pictures of medieval days hung form the wall, expressing the type of time the castle was to be set in. The bathroom was of modern times, with a styling medieval twist. Instead of plain white it was a dark brown, like dirt. Oddly enough, there was a Jacuzzi in the bathroom, which looked like it was bigger than the enormous room itself.

Dan was equally stunned as he slipped by the two color eyed being , gaping at the immense artwork and other features. It was tremendous work! Just the texture to be at the right standard, and to have it matched all around the room. "This is....fantastic" Dan muttered out loud. Finally finding his vocal chords again.

"It is" Ryu agreed gradually, walking over to the bed placing both suitcases down, unclipping them. "Unpack."

And they did.

Dinner was right when Ryu and Dan had finished unpacking, begrudgingly they headed down the hall to the main dining room. There they were served Lobster, chicken, seafood, potatoes, ribs, and many other dishes. Dessert was the most enjoyed with a stunning display of mastery cookery. But as it had begun, it also ended.

Retiring to their rooms it was only the first day of being here and already it felt like paradise. Dan was grudgingly difficult to actually strip down to his boxers as he always eyed Ryu strangely as the man coaxed the other into sleeping in the bed, and not out of it. Eventually the British pilot had no choice and collapsed on the bed, turning to face the window as soon as he hit the pillow.

A faint blush rising to his cheeks as Ryu laid down.

Back-to-back.
