Disclaimer: Seriously, these characters… we'll… some of them aren't mind. They all belong to the wonderful Maki-Murakami-sensei, who without her, I wouldn't be sitting at my computer at 9 when I should be doing homework.

For reasons that eluded them, Ryuichi, Yuna, and Fuji were sent to the dungeons underneath the castle instead of killed on the spot.

Yuki shifted and stared blankly out the window. He sat casually on the ledge of the window sill in Kaname's throne room. Unlike their last meeting, the room was filled with guards and soldiers. Yuki sighed as his eyes fell on Shuichi who was kneeling o the steps in front of the throne which Kaname sat on, in his usual fashion, slumped down with one leg draped over the arm.

Though, instead of his usual 'I'd rather be burning than here' face, he bore a look of sheer amusement. In stark contrast to Mizu, who kneeled beside his throne; most likely because he was too weak to stand; and wore a look of pain and exhaustion.

"Decisions… decisions…" Kaname murmured, drumming his finger against his thigh and sighing "What should I do… Mizu?" Kaname asked, nudging Mizu with his foot.

"Why don't you let him rest?" Shuichi asked

"What I do with what is mine has nothing to do with you." Kaname said casually. "But back to the overall point. . .You tried to kill me."

"No offense." Yuki said, "And not to go all grade school on you, but you tried to kill us first. Several times."

Kaname paused.

"Touché." He said, shifting his position so that he was sitting up and gestured for Shuichi to come closer.

"Touch him and I'll break your fingers." Yuki said calmly, not taking his eyes off the statue that had piqued his interest.

Kaname lowered his hands.

"And as for your friends…"

"We didn't tell them to come, so we can't be held liable for what they did, Father."

"But you helped them!" Kaname snapped, standing "You killed hundreds of my soldiers, destroyed my palace, and frightened the hell out of my dissatisfied kingdom who are upset with their king because he is to busy dealing with his son and his Chaos Wielder!"

"What are you going to do, Father?" Yuki taunted "Ground me? Spank me?"

Kaname held his hand out, summoning the Death Scythe.

"I'LL KILL YOU!" Kaname shouted, moving forwards, only to smack into Shuichi's Chaos Shield.

He glanced back at Shuichi, who was still kneeling, facing the throne.

"You will tell me--." Shuichi began

"Enough, Shu." Yuki spoke

The shield was immediately lowered.

"Me first, Father. I have a question."

"You think I owe you an answer?"

"Yes."

"I really will kill you."

"Would that make mother happy?"

Kaname snapped, dropped his scythe, and ran towards Yuki, grabbing him by his throat and hefted him off the ground.

"Don't use her memory like that!" Kaname hissed, only to pause and tense, finding himself being pulled off of Yuki by Shuichi's Chaos Chains.

"Enough!" Yuki spoke again, this time more to Kaname that Shuichi "Enough, Father! Tell me. Tell me everything! You owe me that much as your son!"

Kaname froze, freed from Shuichi's bond.

"You look… so much…" He began, reaching out to put his hand on Yuki's cheek. "Like your mother… like… Sa..." He trailed off

Kaname chuckled softly.

"I don't even remember what Mother looked like." Yuki said softly

Politely excusing himself from the conversation and propping a Mizu, who had fallen asleep sitting up against the throne, Shuichi left the room.

"Oh?" Kaname asked, taking a step backwards

Yuki resettled himself on the sill.

"I remember… her hands." He said softly "And her scent… like honey and lilac and…" He sighed "She always smelled of…" His voice trailed off

"Blood." Kaname finished

Yuki looked up at him.
"I know." He said "And… it was all my fault."

Yuki swallowed and exhaled.

"That statue." He said, gesturing towards the window "All those around the palace. Are they…"

"Your mother?" Kaname finished "Yes."

"I put them there… after she died of course." Kaname added "If not… that would've been kinda…."

"Crazy psycho Hawthorn Heights 'My love I'm outside f your window with my radio' creepy stalker-ish?"

Kaname widened his eyes.

"…yeah."

There was a pause.

"So… tell me all about it."

"What?" Kaname asked

"You and my mother. Your history."

Kaname smirked and glanced over at Mizu.

"Too bad he passed out." He said "He's much better at telling stories than me."

Kaname stretched and began to pace.

"Well… I guess… to start with me and your mother… we have to start with me and Mizu."

---------------------------------------------FLASHBACK!!!!-------------------------------------

"Lord Kaname." Mizu spoke, as he watched Kaname try on various articles of clothing in his bedroom "Perhaps…"

"Mizu. Do these pants make me look fat?" Kaname asked

Mizu let out a sigh.

"For the sake of both of our masculinities, Lord Kaname, please, never ask me that again."

Kaname rolled his eyes.

"Mizu, you're the most effeminate man I've ever met."

Mizu scoffed.
"Just because I look like a girl, doesn't mean I am one."

Kaname chuckled and Mizu continued.

"Like I was saying, Lord Kaname. Perhaps your father is right?"

"About what?" Kaname asked, taking off his shirt.

"About you looking for a potential mate…"

"You mean, 'get married'?"

"Not exactly…" Mizu began, only to be interrupted by Kaname.

"Find a bride, get married, have children, continue the Yuki like." H said in a mocking voice "Become the next Demon Lord and be in service to Hell and this palace for the rest of my life. Nah." Kaname said, speaking normally now "I have no interest in things like that…"

"But you are The Demon Lord's only son, heir to the Throne."

"Mizu." Kaname said

Mizu stopped, knowing the simple command.

"Besides." Kaname began, fiddling with the over coat in his hands "What do I need a wife for? My Mother never did my father any good."

"No, Lord Kaname." Mizu began "Your mother… serves a very…"

"Served." Kaname corrected

"Lord Kaname." Mizu began

Kaname smirked.

"Mizu." He said simply "Do you honestly believe that my mother is still alive? After the way she embarrassed Father?"
Mizu narrowed his eyes.

"No." He said, softly but truthfully

Kaname smiled darkly. Mizu shifted on his bed.

"Smart boy." He spoke "Besides, I don't need a woman." He neared Mizu "I already have you."

Mizu felt a slight blush spread across his cheeks, as Kaname leaned in to kiss him.

"Lord Kaname…" He murmured, turning away.

Kaname chuckled, not giving up.

"Mizu… you're my servant… not my… slave." He chuckled

Mizu winced.

"Oh. You don't like 'servant'?" Kaname asked "Then what should I call you?" He laid his body on top of Mizu's "My friend? Associate? Boytoy?" His voice grew sensual "Lover?"

Mizu's face turned scarlet.

"Kaname. You have to get ready for the meeting."

"So?"

"And I have to finish writing orders for your garments."

"And?" Kaname began, nestling and rubbing against Mizu.

"Ah! And-your-father-will-be-very-upset-with-you-if-you-don't-go-to-this-meeting."

"Then come with me." Kaname began

"You know I can't." And even so, we'd both need to get dressed.

Kaname was no longer paying Mizu any attention, and began to busy himself with the sensitive skin of Mizu's ear lobes.

"Ah! L-Lord… K…"

"You can call me 'Kaname' if you wish."

"Lord Kaname, don't…"

Mizu tensed as he felt Kaname's body tense. His lips were removed from the patch of skin they were working on as he sat up, his eyes meeting Mizu's.

"Are you… refusing… Mizu?" His voice said in a joking tone, in stark contrast to the glare in his eyes.

"N-No…" Mizu stammered, allowing Kaname to bring his arms up over his head and hold them, pinned to the bed.

"Good." Kaname murmured softly as he felt Mizu go into his usual submissive self.

Kaname's wandering lips founds Mizu's and entrapped him in a passionate kiss.

Unable to resist anymore, Mizu's arms went limp under Kaname's grip, and when freed, his hands traveled down to Kaname's hips, pulling his body down closer, seeking more contact.

'I can never refuse him…' Mizu thought 'His lips. His body. His aura. It entraps me, almost hypnotically…'

Kaname let out a soft groan as he parted to give Mizu a moment to breath, planting gentle butterfly kisses on his cheeks.

"Mizu…" He began "You're so…"

The bells around the palace sounded and Mizu's eyes snapped open. He jumped up with a start, nearly hurling Kaname off of him in the process.

"God Mizu!" Kaname exclaimer

"Lord Kaname! The time!"

"I told you… forget about the meeting."

"No! Not that!" Mizu said, wiggling to get free "It's your…"

"—Father?"

Mizu peered past Kaname to find the door open.

"Kaname."

Mizu's eyes widened, and out of forced habit, his eyes lowered.

"Mizu."

"Demon Lord--."

"Kaname, what are you doing?" The Demon Lord interrupted

Kaname looked down at his hips, straddling Mizu's.

His face went blank.

"I'm about to have sex, Father. What does it look like?"

The Demon Lord sighed.

"Kaname, stop this foolishness."

Kaname narrowed his eyes.

"It's not foolishness." He said "And besides, I don't remember you telling me you were going to be dropping by today."

"I didn't."

"So you just show up unannounced?" Kaname asked "What terrible manners you have, Father."

The Demon Lord scoffed.

"I'm not here for you." He said "I wish to speak with Mizu." He extended his hand, Mizu prepared to go to him, only to be pushed down on the mattress by Kaname.

"No." Kaname said

"I wasn't asking." His father replied "Mizu."

Mizu again tried to move, only to find Kaname wasn't loosening his grip.

"Mizu." Kaname said gently, turning to him.

'What's going on?' Kaname's thoughts sounded in Mizu's head

When he was met with silence, Kaname grew angry.

"Kaname!" His father shouted

Reluctantly obeying, Kaname freed Mizu, who stood, and moved towards his father.

Kaname made a face, as he watched them leave, shutting the door behind them.

REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!!!

A.N. So it took me forever to get this chapter up, because I've been hella swamped with school work, newspaper work, and not to mention, my mom has been holding my PC hostage in her room, so it's kind of annoying to try and get her to finish her 150th game of solitaire to get to use the computer. Anyways, I threw the obnoxious FLASHBACK back in there thanks to a humorous complaint I got about not having it (you know who you are ). Though I really am glad I finally got to get into some Mizu and Kaname past, because that's really where it all began. Though, you'll get to see how Kaname was as (roughly… he is several milenia old…) a teenager, and soon meet Yuki's mom. Coffeeshop should be next… or hopefully Chaos Theory. It all depends on when I can rescue my PC. Thanks!
