Haou's eyes were wide in shock. Jehu...

Haou turned and ran, ran far away from him, this man. How dare he order Jehu to be sent away to a training camp! He didn't want Jehu to be his knight if it meant him leaving for years!

"Jehu!" He called as he entered him room, seeing Jehu packing his belongings.

"H-Haou-"

"What do you think you're doing?!" He yelled, tears springing into his eyes and spilling over like waterfalls. Jehu stood and wrapped his arms around his love, holding him close. I hurt him to Haou like this.

"I'm sorry Haou, but I have to go."

"NO! You're not leaving me here all alone!" Haou yelled, thrashing in his grip. Jehu sighed as tears also began falling out of his eyes.

"Haou, your father said I have to go."

"Why aren't you fighting it?!" Haou yelled, demanding why Jehu was so calm during the situation. He wanted to know why Jehu wasn't siding with him to stay.

"...Because I want to protect you..." Haou stopped and looked up at him.

"What are you-"

"I'm doing this because I couldn't bare the the thought of you getting hurt when I could protect you. I want to be your knight, someone worthy of holding a title that dedicates myself to you. I want to serve you because I love you, not because someone is ordering me to." Jehu kissed Haou softly tightening his grip around the prince. "If I were to loose you Haou I could never go on with my life."He looked into Haou's eyes. "If it weren't for you, I'd probably be dead right now. My parents were in debt, that's why their house was set on fire. If you hadn't have been there, I would have died along with them, or have been left on the streets."

"J-Jehu..."

"Please Haou, I have to protect you, you're the only thing I have left..."He murmured, kissing the prince once again. He felt those lips kiss back fiercely, the grip around his neck tighten. He slipped his tongue out and into the prince's mouth, exploring it desperately. He needed to know Haou was here right now, that he was safe.

Haou felt his tears slow down, but they did not stop falling. He broke the kiss gently, and then leaned up to Jehu's ear.

"Take me..." Jehu's eyes widened.

"H-Haou..."

"Please Jehu, make me yours..." He pressed himself against him harder. "Claim me, I need to know you're the only one who owns me..." The prince pressed feather light kisses onto Jehu's neck. "Please..."

"Haou..." His lips pressed against Haou once more, and carried the prince to his bed, laying him down gently.

And as light from the moon shone down, the two lovers slept, in probably the most peaceful sleep they will have, for the next four years.

Jehu rose from the bed, looking over at the prince who slept peacefully, with his arms resting on the spot he had been a few minutes ago. It was early morning, and the sun was yet to rise. He probably had half an hour before the cart came to pick him up. He knew just how difficult this was going to be. The king had simply told him he was leaving, but the queen had warned him of how awful the place would be. He quickly wrote a letter, and left it on the bedside table, and laid back down, staring at the face of the beautiful prince, the boy who held everything that he was. His first love, his first kiss, his virginity, his life.

He kissed the princes face, and whispered softly into his ear words of love. The training camp was normally five years, but Jehu determined to make it out in four. Nothing would keep him away from Haou any longer than necessary.

He rose again, picking up things, ad looked back just as he was leaving the room. He knew he should have, but he did anyway. And tears sprung into his eyes. He wold not see the boy again for years. The thought of a mere day pained him enough, how was he going to survive years?

He quickly wiped the tears away, walking down the hall where the queen waited for him. The king would dare show his face, it was too much trouble for him. Jehu knew that he could run right now. Run and secretly meet with Jehu and the queen would help him. But the risks outweighed the befits.

"Misako?"

"Yes Jehu?"

"Could you send messengers to pick up my letters to Haou?" The queen smiled.

"I will do it for as long as I can. If he finds out however, you may have to deal with the monthly messenger that the camp has, and he may not deliver them directly to Haou.

"I don't care. I plan to right to him every day if I can." Misako turned to him. The boy who had stolen her sons heart, and held it very dear to his own. If only the king could see, if only he wasn't so blinded by hatred and anger. Tears were in her eyes and she held the boy she considered her own son, and cried. Jehu held the queen closely, and comforted her. Soon he saw the horse drawn cart over the horizon and lighter shades of grey appearing in the east.

"Please, take care of Haou while I'm gone."He picked of his bag. "Don't let him grow cold like his father. If my letters don't reach him, let him know why. Assure him that I'll be back."He turned and smiled at her. "Tell him to take good care of my heart. I left it with him." And with that, Jehu climbed into the cart noticing the look of shock on the man's face as he saw the queen crying. Soon though, they were moving again, and he rested his head against the side of the cart. Within a few minutes, he fell asleep.

In the prince's room, Haou opened his eyes, half expecting a image of Jehu to be there, but then sleep faded and he could only see the empty bed. Haou's eyes watered again, but he noticed a piece of paper on the table. He crawled over to it, wincing quietly as mild pain shot through his legs, and unfolded it.

"My Dear Haou,

I left this letter to you so that you'll have something of me in case my letters are not able to reach you. Your mother will explain everything if this happens.

I just wanted to let you know how much you mean to me. I love you more than anything and everything in this world. If it were possible I'd send my love miles away to you. You have everything of mine, you're my first and only love Haou, don't ever forget.

I will right to you everyday that I can. I only hope the messengers will be able to get it to you. Do not worry, I will return to you my little prince, and I will return safely." Tears were stained onto the letter and more fell onto the piece of paper.

"I love you my dearest Haou. If only I could write poetry to describe my feelings for you. I'll think of you everyday. Please take good care of my heart, I left it with you.

Love,

Jehu."

The prince cried even harder, holding the letter close to his chest. He rolled over of his side, and looked at the letter again, tracing a heart that had been made shortly after the signature.

"I love you Jehu. Please come back to me soon..." He held the letter close to him again, wrapping his arms around it as though Jehu would appear from it and hold him. "Wait for Jehu, wait for me..."
