Thanks to everyone for being so patient. I'm working through all the suggestions now.

Warning for this chapter - It's not for the squeamish.

Kurogane ran up the stone steps, skipping two at a time, his eyes constantly trained on the fleeting figure of the man racing in front of him.

The steps spiralled upwards, lined by torches that flared from their sconces. Lights flickered as he passed them, melding into one, long, indistinguishable blur. The cracked, blue-grey stone rose higher and steeper until finally levelling out into a narrow passageway. Heavy-set, wooden doors lined the right hand side, of which his quarry had entered the first.

Kurogane did not slow down as he burst through the door, wincing slightly as his shoulder slammed into the hard wood.

The bedchamber was small, dark and dingy. A single torch burnt away the shadows to create a small island of light. A four-poster bed skulked in the corner, blanketed in darkness. A broken table rested near the glass door to the outside.

Fai was on the balcony, leaning on the railings and breathing heavily, exhausted from his run up the stairs. Red flowers and sprawling golden ivy snaked up his white robe, a perfect contrast to the black and dark blue hues that Kurogane wore.

Fai turned to face Kurogane, pressing himself as far back as possible. Squirming further back still as Kurogane slowly advanced. The larger man used his weight and height advantage to press the smaller of the two against the balcony ledge.

Placing his hands on either side, Kurogane pinned Fai under him. The blond man glared at the self-
satisfied smirk gracing his captor's face. He squirmed underneath him, trying to get break free but Kurogane pressed closer.

Then Fai slapped him.

The harsh smack of the blond's hand against his cheek and the stinging red mark that it left did not surprise him the slightest. Kurogane grabbed Fai's wrist, almost crushing it in his hand.

"That hurt," he growled, throwing him to the floor. Fai cried out as he hit the floor, tumbling across the cold floor. Before he could move, Kurogane was on top of him, pinning him to the floor. "You're not a man who likes pain, are you?"

"W - what are you trying to do?" Fai squirmed but could not break free.

He grinned. "What do you want me to do?"

"D - don't! Don't…" Fai's feeble protests were swiftly silenced as the taller man swooped downwards, pressing his lips against his captive's.

Kurogane's fingers played with the hem of Fai's robe, slowly easing it open to reveal a bare chest bathed in dim candlelight.

Fai watched the man on top of him with bated breath; his cheeks coloured crimson in the gloom. Kurogane smirked and lowered his body, mouth slightly parted, he turned his lips towards the pale neck of his captive and -

"CUT!"

Kurogane jumped to his feet in surprise. The whole chamber suddenly lit up in a string of electrical lights and the cameramen lowered their gear with exhausted sighs.

"Aww, we were so close to the climax!" Fai grumbled, sitting up to close the top of his robe.

The director was a thin, reedy man, gawky and with awkward limbs that swayed as he walked on to the set. He frowned at the electric lights, then at his two actors, adjusting his glasses for a better view. "Fai-san! You're too eager! You give in too easy. You have to resist! Make Kurogane-san work, give him a tough job seducing you!" he spoke passionately, waving his arms in wild, meaningless gestures.

"Yes."

"And Kurogane-san," the director rounded upon the taller man. "You're too gentle. You're meant to be a ruthless overlord! After he slaps you, grab his hand and pull him towards you then smack him against the floor! You gotta slam him! Wham!"

"Err…yeah," Kurogane nodded, though utterly deadpan, he was inwardly wincing at the director's crude use of language.

"You don't look convinced," the director stared up at him sceptically. "Let me show you."

"No, I think that it'll be okay," Fai quickly stood before their employer could get on top of him and show them a 'working example.'

"D - don't! Don't…" Fai squirmed as Kurogane swooped downwards, pressing his lips against his.

"Why not? You're loving it, aren't you?" he smirked.

Fai's resistance only made him more alluring; his eyes were heavy-lidded, mouth slight parted, cheeks tinged with pink.

Kurogane's mouth moved towards Fai's neck, pressing his lips and sucking hard, leaving a passionate red mark. He ran his hands across Fai's chest and then moved downwards, further down, eliciting a small "Ah" from Fai's lips.

Off came the bottom part of the robe and -

"CUT!"

Fai sighed. With a decreasing amount of patience and an increasing urge to hit the director, Kurogane clambered off of Fai to meet the sullen frown of their employer.

Without a moment's glance, the director brushed past him and towards the blond man.

"Fai-san, what the heck? You're being seduced by a powerful, handsome overlord and all you can say is 'Ah'?" he mimickedthe feeble gasp.

Fai closed his robe over his body. "You want it to be more graphic?"

"The audience isn't looking for a little piggy squeal. Put some feel into it!" the director cried. "Like, AHHH!"

"O - okay."

Cover the children's eyes. Scene five. Take three.

"Why not? You're loving it, aren't you?" Kurogane smirked.

His mouth moved towards Fai's neck, pressing his lips and sucking hard, leaving a passionate red mark. He ran his hands across Fai's chest and then moved downwards.

"Ahhh!"

Fai cried out as Kurogane laid him bare and -

"CUT!"

"That son of a - "

Kurogane drew a long breath, bracing himself against the urges to commit violent acts of brutality and murder most foul that bombarded his inner being.

"Kurogane-san…" the director sighed, shaking his head from left to right. "You know what, I'm thinking that this whole scene is a mistake. It's not really necessary. It would be much more tasteful if we simply hinted the scene and left the rest to the audience's imagination."

Kurogane stared at the reedy man as if he had grown an extra head. It took all his training to resist the temptation of punching the man where it would most likely hurt the most.

Fai on, the other hand, look positively horrified. "We worked for seven hours straight on this scene!"

"Okay, let's try it one more time, but if it doesn't work out…" the director trailed off, though his silence told them all that they needed to know.

Cover the children's eyes. Scene five. Take four.

Fai's screams echoed across the dingy walls.

"You're mine. You completely belong to me. I own you," Kurogane's hot breath tickled Fai's ear.

Kurogane's own robe began to loosen and he moved his body down, slipping his hands between -

"CUT! That's it! We're scrapping this scene!"

His fingers crawed towards Fai's -

"Kurogane-san, Fai-san, can you hear me? I said cut!"

Entering into -

"CUT!"

Fai cried at the sudden force and Kurogane grinned and -

"CUT, DAMMIT! CUT!"


In order to keep the rating a T, I cut out most of the graphicness but you can always use your imagination. Those two so fired.
