Hello readers. I'm so very sorry for the late update. I'm actually stuck at my the other fic that I got delayed writing this. I'm so sorry.

This chapter I'm trying to keep a blance between Usagi and Misaki, Sumi and Takahiro. So the two couple took half the chapter each...I think~ I did not read through the second time for this fic so please tell me if there is any silly mistakes.

Note: For bold and italics, it means flashback.

Do you people want more of the other 2 Junjou Romantica couples? If you want I'll try and write more about them. ^^

Please enjoy and review.

P.S There is one more Kingdom left unknown, the Earth Kingdom. Can anyone guess who rule that kingdom? -winks-

Disclaimer: I do not own Junjou Romantica. It's sad to have to say this every time...

Chapter 8 - Returned

The sliver wolf slowly approach Misaki, step by step. Misaki trembled at as the wolf got closer. Bitter memories flooded into him. He remembered how they were attacked and Usami was hurt trying to protect him.

"Don't come any closer..." Misaki muttered as he moved back. But he was cornered as he hit the wall.

As the wolf got closer and closer to him, and he have nowhere to run, Misaki shut his eyes tightly, preparing for the worst.

"Do you not want to see me that much?"

That voice...

Misaki could not believed whose voice he had just heard. Trembling, Misaki slowly forced himself to open his eyes.

He opened his eyes and saw Usami walking out of the magic circle, smirking.

"Usagi-san!" Misaki cried as he went forward to hug him.

"I'm so glad you're safe..." he mumbled against his chest.

Usami was unsure at first but he wrapped his arms around Misaki, hugging him closer.

Time seemed to have stop for Misaki. All he knew he was doing was his hands tightening around Usami, not wanting to let go. A cough at the door caused him to flutter and he wanted to tear himself away from Usagi but this time, it was Usami who refused to let go.

"What do you want?" Usami scowled at Miyagi who was the one who disturbed them.

"Don't look at me like that! I felt your presence so I came to check it out," he said. "But I guess I'm not needed here..." Miyagi mumbled and closed the door behind him.

Even when Miyagi left the two alone, Misaki still struggled. "Let me go..." he pleaded weakly.

Usami smirked and pulled him closer. "No," he said firmly. "I missed you." he whispered softly his breath tickling his ear as his hands touched Misaki's soft hair.

Misaki got lost in the embrace. He closed his eyes as Usami run his fingers through his hair. He felt Usami's hand cupped his chin and lifted his head. Misaki knew what he is going to do. But he did not struggle. He continued closing his eyes waiting for the kiss to come. But it was ruined when they were disturbed by a loud but friendly growl.

They turned and saw the wolf from before staring at them with this golden eyes.

Misaki's eyes widen in fear as he remembered about the attack. He clenched onto Usami, trembling.

Usami felt his fear. He smoothed him by tracing his hand on his spine. "It's alright. I want you to meet Gin," he said softly.

Misaki started at the sliver wolf conscious that he is coming closer to them. "Gin?" he said weakly.

"He is actually not a wild beast. It's just that he lost his voice in a battle and everyone started naming him a wild beast. He got no choice but to form a pack to protect himself." Usami explained.

Misaki took in a deep breath as Usami slowly released him. "I wanted him to become your bodyguard."

"My bodyguard...?" Misaki asked, his voice filled with uncertainty.

Gin walked towards Misaki and lowered his head on his feet. Misaki flinched and withdrew his feet. Gin lifted his head and his golden eyes stared at Misaki confused.

"Gin, give him sometime to accept you. I want you to leave us be right now." Usami commanded.

The sliver wolf nodded and it jumped out through the balcony.

Misaki could not believe what he just saw. The wild wolf he saw before seemed to have vanished.

Just when Misaki's thoughts was being distracted, Usami wrapped his arms around him and gently nibbled his ear.

"Did you miss me?" he asked.

Misaki shudder as he felt his breath tickling his ear. He struggled as he tried to free himself.

Usami tighten his grip. "I'll let you go if you just answer me."

Misaki stood frozen for a minute before he muttered, "Yes..."

Usami true to his words, he released Misaki. Misaki turned and face Usami. Usami's face was impossible to read. Misaki slowly lifted his hand to touch Usami's arm that was being bitten before. He rolled up the gray sleeve gently and saw the scar caused by the bite.

Silence fall between them. Misaki traced the wound using his fingers, gently and barely touching it. "I'm sorry. It's all my fault." Misaki whispered as he lifted his face and his eyes stared right at Usami.

Usami used his hand and gently brushed the hair covering Misaki's cheeks. He then used both hand to cupped his face and looked right at him. "It's not your fault! I should not have bring you here in the first place." he said as he gently placed his lips against his.

Misaki was shocked but he closed his eyes when he felt Usami's tongue tracing his lower lip, begging for entrance.

What is this feeling, it does not seem so bad...

He whimpered and Usami's tongue dived into his hot cavern, gently ravishing it. Misaki used his hand to brush Usami's hair as he return the kiss.

\X.X.X

Takahiro was in the stables brushing the horses when Sumi came stomping in.

"What do you think you are doing?" he demanded.

"Brushing the horses." Takahiro answered as-a-matter-of-fact.

"Don't compare these horses with the ones on earth. These horses choose their groomer!" Sumi said, gritting his teeth.

Takahiro ignored his warning and continued brushing the horses.

"Are you listening to me?" Sumi thundered, grabbing one of Takahiro's arm.

Takahiro stared at the hand binding his hand. The red mark caused by the metal chain has not yet disappear. He thought of the time he was being tied to the bed. He shivered, thinking it would happen again.

Sumi felt his fear. He loosen his grip but still not letting go. "You need to know the rules here while you are here. The Fire Kingdom the most barbaric country in this world. Although I rule this place, there is still chaos in the kingdom..." he said almost gently.

Takahiro felt it. He sighed and said, "But I can't stay cooped up in the room all day. When are you letting me go?"

Sumi smirked. They have been arguing about this topic for days.

"When are you letting me go?" Takahiro demanded when Sumi delivered his dinner to his room.

Sumi pretended not the hear and set the sliver tray on the table.

"Answer me! I know you heard me." Takahiro cried out, a futile effort to sound angry.

Sumi turned and face Takahiro who was standing by the window. "I let you roam free in my castle. What more do you want? Do not push your luck mortal!" Sumi scowled.

Takahiro flinched but he said, "You can't possible keep me here forever?"

Sumi chuckled lowly. "But I can, unless..." he pretended to ponder. "Unless you are willing to pay a price."

Takahiro blinked and his eyes brighten with hope. "What is the price?" he asked.

Sumi slowly approached him and cornered him to the wall, both of his arms by the side of Takahiro.

"The price is your body."

"What?" Takahiro cried in shocked and he felt his cheeks turned hot. "I'm a man!"

"So?" Sumi said dryly, totally unaffected by Takahiro's reaction. "Genders does not matter in this world. I can give you pleasure more than a woman can." He said softly as he run and his fingers in his hair. "As long as you give me your body, I'll let you go."

"You know the price for your freedom." Sumi said as he folded his arms.

"But...Can't you name anything else? I can work in the stables and clean the horses." Takahiro said as he pointed to the black mare eating the hay. When the horse saw Takahiro pointed at him, it flinched. It stopped eating the hay and charged towards Takahiro.

"Watch out!" Sumi cried.

Takahiro turned and saw the horse coming right at him. He closed his eyes tightly.

I'm going to be crushed.
