Bound By Memory

Chapter 4 :

When the sun rose the next morning, it finds the two lovers tangled in each other�s arms, sleeping peacefully. Then the gentle rays fell on the face of the dark haired one, making him fluttering his eyes opened.

"Hummmm�"

Cale groaned, hiding his face against his pillow, he didn�t want to wake up. Then he noticed the warm of another body lying next to him and raised his head sharply, seeing Sage by his side, eyes watching and an equally warm smile on his lips.

"Hello sleepy head."

He said as his smile widen, before closing the distance and kissing his dark lover softly. Cale kissed back with a pleased noise, throwing an arm around the blonde�s slim waist and pulling him closer.

It was a slow, love-filled kiss, unlike the burning passion they had shared the night before. Those urges had been taken care of and now only a wonderful feeling of belonging and fulfilness stayed. It was as if they were made for each other and need nothing but each other to be complete.

When they parted they gazed at each other, perfect serenity and happiness in their eyes.

"Hello you, for how long have you been up ?"

Cale asked, running a hand through his hair as he sat up in the large bed with the yawn of a content, lazy cat.

"Not long, just a few minutes. But I watched you sleep, it was cute."

Sage replied, eyes shining slightly in genuine inesiness. Cale raised an eyebrow.

"Cute ?"

"To me yes, in a way. Still feeling guilty for last night ?"

The blonde added, eyes becoming serious as he moved to sit up next to Cale. The warlord just smiled and pulled him in an unexpected hug.

"No, you told me you would be alright and I believe you. And anyway you don�t seem to be in pain or anything so� But yeah I still think I should have slow things down for our first time together."

Sage smiled in relief and snuggled into his lover�s embrace. He felt so safe there, so reassure and love, and he needed it after the strange dream he just had�

"It�s okay, I�m as guilty as you, you know. I wanted it and I made nothing to stop you, beside I liked it. I hope we will have plenty of occasion to do it again, slower this time."

"Of course love, there will plenty of time for that believe me."

Cale said as he ruffled the blonde�s hair. Then he tilted the blonde�s head up for another kiss and Sage promptly melt in his arms.

Then the moment ended when Talpa�s voice echoed into their mind, dragging them out of their private paradise to the cold reality.

/Warlords, I want all of you in the throne room, now !/

Cale broke away from Sage�s delicious lips with a groan at the command and let his head drop forward on his chest.

"He has such a great timing�"

"Damn right."

Sage answered with a pout, then he gave a small smile to his lover before getting out of bed and not even bothering to put his clothes on, called his subarmor on and looked at Cale expectantly.

Cale smirked at his lover and getting out of bed himself, called his own subarmor on and giving a last kiss to Sage, took his hand in his own and then both disappeared from the room in the blink of an eye.

****

When the lovers appeared again they were in the throne room. They quickly get in their right knee and bowed their head, as it was the rule in Talpa�s presence and waited for their master�s orders.

The others warlords were already there, waiting, and Sekhmet used the opportunity to throw a meaningful look at Cale and Sage. Receiving a grin and a wink he grinned back happily, feeling intense relief for Sage. Dais caught the exchange and simply smiled.

Then Talpa started talking and they stopped at once everything they were doing.

"Well my warlords I have a new mission for you. You are to attack the ronins at once, while they are now vulnerable more than ever, and this time I want a total success !"

He said, and all the warlords nodded in unison.

"Yes master !"

Then they were freed to leave and they did, already thinking about the oncoming battle. They were all reunited together in front of a dynasty gate now, ready to leave, and still it was through psychic talk that they decided to communicate.

/This time it�s our last battle guys, either we success or we die trying. It�s our last chance./

Anubis�s voice echoed into their minds, flowing effortlessly across their thoughts.

/Yes� the end of the war is very close�/

Dais answered almost absently, gazing at the beautiful landscape surrounding them, thinking he may very well never see it again. Sekhmet glanced at him worriedly and took his lover�s hand, giving it a small squeeze that give comfort to the white haired man, who was grateful for it.

Then they opened the gate and disappeared through it.

Cale and Sage glanced at each other silently and exchanged a quick, passionate kiss before Sage took a step back, gazing at Cale.

"Go, I will stay here just a little more. There is something I have to do first before I come with you."

Cale looked at him in surprise but didn�t ask him any question. Then he finally followed his companions through the door and disappeared as well after a last glance at his love, leaving Sage alone before the blonde left the place for the castle once more�

****

Cye blinked in the darkness surrounding him and winced at the pain lancing through him. For a second he didn�t know where he was but then, he remembered.

/I�m in the Dynasty. Oh great./

Cye managed to sit up and blinked again as he tried to see his surrounding, when a noise startled him. It was the cell�s door opening.

Immediately Cye tensed, expecting one of the warlords to enter the cell and torture him. He was quite surprised when he saw Sage standing in doordoorstep instead.

"Sage ? Is that you ?"

The blonde just nodded slowly, almost shyly, seemingly falling back into the role of the confused young boy that he was, and not a playful warlord who had just left his lover to interrogate a prisoner.

"What do you want ?"

Cye asked as gently as he could for someone in his position, acutely aware that Sage could bolt and run at the slightest thing. Sage stared at him for a while then stepped closer to the captured ronin.

"You and your friends said� you said that I was your friend once, can you prove it ?"

He asked, taking a deep breath.

"Nani ?!"

"Can you prove it ?"

Sage repeated. Cye stared at him before nodding.

"I can try, but why are you asking me that ?"

"Just� an intuition�now do it !"

Cye gulped and started looking in his memories for any clues he could use to convince his one time friend�

****

"Are we ready ?"

Anubis asked his warlords, who where currently taking their place and circling the house of the ronins.

"Yes ! We are ready to strike, but where is Sage ?"

Sekhmet wondered, looking to his right then left. Dais raised an eyebrow at Cale, who shook his head.

"He said he had something to do before he joined us. I trust him, he will come so don�t worry."

"I�m not worried about that�"

Sekhmet said softly, eyes glazed over as if his mind was somewhere else, which earned him strange looks from his fellow warriors. Then they shook if off and forgot it.

But Cale didn�t and shaking off the sudden feeling of dread, concentrated all his attention on the ronin�s house instead, waiting for the order to attack.

But inside, he wanted nothing more than to run back to the nether realm and embrace his love�

****

"NO ! You are lying ! It can�t be any other way !"

Sage cried as he stood trembling, fists clenching and unclenching at his sides as a single tear slide down his cheek. Cye winced upon seeing his friend in such a state and couldn�t help feeling bad for the blonde.

"But it�s the true Sage, they are our enemies. They have been manipulating you, for the Sage I know would never have fight for them, even less defend them."

Cye said, trying to "find" his friend into the distress blonde in front of him. Sage shook his head fiercely, then suddenly turned on his heels and out out of the cell, not even thinking of closing the door behind him.

Not that it matter anyway, since Cye was chained to the walls with heavy iron chains� Cye sighed in defeat and dropped his head on his chest, feeling tears in his eyes. How long did he stay like this, alone in his dark cell, he didn�t know.

But after what felt like hours, he felt a shadow looming over him, coming from the door. He raised his head then, hoping to see Seiji, only to gasp instead.

****

"Okay, this is the moment, now go !"

Anubis yelled, raising his hand and pointing at the huge mansion and at once, the warlords attacked the house. Now the final battle could begin.

But just as the warlords were attacking and getting the first hit from the ronins, one shadow slipped away from the battlefield, unnoticed�

****

Sage ran blindly, away from the cell, away from his friend and away from his memories. Flashback and images from his past were flashing in his mind, making his head and heart hurting, leaving him gasping and feeling betrayed in the worst possible way.

As he ran Sage finally bumped into someone, and almost fell back on his rear when strong hands caught him and then, he was being held securely in a warm embrace. Surprise, Sage raised his head and his eyes widen slightly in yet another surprise.

"Sekhmet ? What are you doing here ? I thought you left with the other ?"

The blonde asked in a shaky whisper and Sekhmet smiled at him.

"I did, but I had the bad feeling that something was wrong with you, so I left the battle without the other finding it out. I wanted to see you and make sure you were all right. But tell me why are you crying Sage ?"

Sage�s expression sadden then and slowly, he dropped his head against the green haired man�s chest, for the warlord was taller than him. He stay like this for a second, eyes unblinking and glazed over, almost empty before his body start shaking softly as he sobbed.

Sekhmet hold the boy tightly in his arms, trying to comfort him, heart aching upon seeing the usually strong and calm boy like this.

"Why are you this upset Sage ? What happened ?"

Sage�s body shook harder and he snuggled deeper into the warlord�s arms.

"I�Sekhmet I� I remember� I remember my friends, my life� It hurt Sekhmet�"

Sage said brokenly, and almost winced when he felt Sekhmet tensing.

"You� remember ?"

"Yes, it started when I talked with Cye� but Sekhmet, I didn�t forget the time I spend with you or the other warlords ! That�s what is hurting me so much� We� we thought you were all some kind of unfeeling monsters� But we were wrong. I care for all of you, the warlords and my friends, you understand ? I care for all of you ! I� I don�t want to fight with you or with the other ronins and� I can�t. Oh Sekhmet I don�t know what to do !"

Sage whispered between sobs and cried softly against Sekhmet�s chest, feeling completely lost and for once, terribly alone and vulnerable. Sekhmet didn�t say anything and closed his eyes, as everything the blonde had said slowly sink in.

"Sage� I�rry.rry. I never wanted to see you hurt like this. But since you remember I think you should� maybe you should go back to them�"

He said, swallowing somehow with difficulties. Sage stared at him with wide, frightened eyes.

"What ?! No ! I mean, I don�t want to leave you, or Cale ! I can�t, I won�t leave you !"

"Don�t worry about that Sage, we will work it out I promise. Now just go to the human realm and keep the warlords and the ronins from killing each others. I will join you later but first there is something important I have to do."

Sekhmet said gently, running his fingers through Sage�s hair before gently pushing the boy away from him. Sage nodded uncertainly and the next second, the blonde disappeared. Sekhmet�s eyes turned serious then and he resolutely walked in the direction Sage had came from, the dungeon.

****

"Die !"

Ryo screamed at the top of his lungs as he charged Cale. The warlord dodged him and strike back with a sneer. All he wanted was to finish this battle and get back home to his mate.

Next to him he could see Dais and Anubis fighting the other 3 ronins.

/But where is Sekhmet ?/

He wondered. Lost in his thoughts, he was startled out of it when a scream reach his ears and when he raised his head, it was too late�

****

"Sekhmet !"

Cye couldn�t believe his eyes. The green haired warlord of poison was standing in front of him and looking quite� pissed off ?

/More like upset./

Cye thought. He glanced at the warrior worriedly, and felt his blood turning cold when Sekhmet, who was in his full armor, pulled out one of his swords and pointed it at him. Cye stared, then almost yelped and closed his eyes tightly in fright when he saw the sword coming his way at a great speed.

He stood still, waiting to feel the blade on his skin, and opened his eyes again in confusion when he heard a loud noise instead. Cye blinked, and then he noticed that he was freed. His chains were now on the floor, broken and useless.

"Wh� why did you do that ?"

Cye asked, somehow completely lost. Sekhmet sighed and Cye was sure that the warlord was sad.

/How could it be ? I thought they were some kind of unfeeling nether creatures�/

"I have no time to explain everything to you, so just know that you are free Torrent."

Sekhmet said then he turned around, just before he froze over, eyes glazing over for a second before an expression of shock spread across his face.

"Oh god� no !"

He whispered, looking horrified. Cye saw him almost doubling-over and instinctively offered his support, following some kind of instinct he didn�t know he had. Sekhmet�s grip on Cye�s arm was like steel, until the warlord seemed to relax a little.

"Thank you� it seems you will have to come with me finally. I just hope that... no I won�t even think about it !"

Sekhmet whispered fiercely, paler than ever and Cye couldn�t help but shiver. He didn�t know what the green haired man had felt, but it couldn�t be anything good.

Then his vision blurred and he almost panicked, feeling as if he was blacking out, until he realised that Sekhmet was merely moving from the nether realm to the human world, just like he had saw him do so many times before in battle.

When his vision cleared, he stepped back a little, wary. Then his head snapped up when he heard an all too familiar voice screaming.

"CALE !!!!"

****

"CALE !!!!"

The whole battlefield seems to froze when the distressed call echoed, leaving everyone frozen in place. When Cye saw the origin of the scream, he couldn�t help gasping at the sight and then, he swore he could almost feel Sekhmet�s horror and own pain behind him.

There, on the middle of the battlefield Cale and Ryo were standing, Ryo�s katana lodged deep into Cale stomach, blood already dripping and staining the grass around the two warlords.

Standing only one meter away, Sage was watching them with a horrified expression on his face, pale and eyes large in shock and disbelief. Cale had the same shocked expression on his face as he dropped on the ground soundlessly.

As soon as the blue haired man hit the ground Sage ran to his side, not even glancing at Ryo who seemed to be just as shocked as everyone else. Sage kneeled at the fallen warrior�s side, tears sliding down his face.

"Cale ? Cale� please answer me !"

Sage whispered, shaking his lover�s body gently, feeling his horror growing as blood stained his fingers. Cale coughed weakly once before his eyes locked with Sage�s.

/Sage� don�t worry about me, okay ? Just� stay out of trouble./

He thought to his lover, too weak to talk but he was trying to be strong for his love. He had too, even if he was really afraid. Now that he had to face death he known how his victims felt, and he shared their despair for a little while.

Then he saw Sekhmet and almost smiled in relief.

/So here you are� please� take care of Sage for muld uld you ?/

He saw Sekhmet nodded numbly, as he was still in shock, but felt slightly better knowing that someone he trust would be there for his love after his death. Then he felt the world around him starting to fade, and soon there was nothing�

****

"Cale�"

The blonde whispered before dropping his head against the warlord�s chest, crying silently. It seems that this act finally snapped the other out of their trance and Sekhmet was at the blonde�s side in a second.

Around them the others two warlords where standing still, not knowing what to do anymore. Next to the two kneeling on the ground Ryo was staring at Sage. Kento was all around Cye, worried about his best friends while Rowen was staring at Ryo for his part.

"Sage�"

Ryo murmured and the blonde looked up, wiping his eyes as he did.

"Ryo� I�"

Sage stopped, unable to speak and shook his head. Rowen noticed this and walked toward Sage before kneeling next to himshimself. He putted a hand on his best friend�s shoulder tentatively, and was quite surprised when the blonde lean into him, sobbing on his shoulder.

Sekhmet stood up then, and walked away a little. Sage stopped sobbing, and tried to get back his composure before glancing at him.

"Sekhmet ?"

The blonde asked, almost child-like. He then rose to his feet hastily, feeling even more oncoming doom. Sekhmet turned away from him, not looking at him.

/We have to leave Sage. I think you should stay with the other ronins now. This is where you belong. Leave Talpa to us. He is the one who throw us into this war and provoked our loss, we are going to finish it./

Sekhmet thought for everyone present, and the other two warlords nodded, eyes darkening before they all disappeared, along with Cale�s body.

"NO !!!"

Sage screamed, ready to run after his "brothers", but Rowen stopped him. Sage stared at him in surprise, before giving up and curling in a quivering little ball on the ground. He was broken.

A single tear dropped on the ground next to him.

****

Lost leaves were carried by the wind sadly, almost morbidly in the distance as five boys walked home, feeling just as lost in their destiny as those leaves, and not knowing where their trip would end� Some learned it the hard way�

OWARI

Shadow : *stars, then starts wailing* I JUST KILLED MY YAMI-CHAN !!!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sage : WHAT ?! you killed him ?! Shadow how could you ??!! *glares then blinks* Wait, Yami-chan ? Only I can call him that ! *clings possessively to Cale�s arm, glaring at Shadow*

Cale : *grinning like a wolf* Come on Sage, it�s all right. It�s Shadow, the girl who never fell in love once in her life and who doesn�t even want to. Beside she likes us together way too much to take me away from you anyway. On top of it YOU are her favorite character so I should be the one worrying right now.

Shadow : *stops crying and stars at Cale* Thank you very much Cale.*sticks out tongue*

Cale : *rolls eyes* Very mature Shadow. Are you sure you are 19 ?

Shadow : *muttered something about blue haired freak who deserve to be tortured veeeeeeery painfully for being a jackass* By the way for those the end may have confused, have in mind that I was listening to the song Other Side Of The Moon by Weiss Kreuz when I wrote it� Enhance the morbid end� And this story was pissing me off, I couldn�t write the end (evil writer block !) and so I stopped it there. I had enough of this story, chapter 4 was a pain in the ass I�m telling you.

Sekhmet : Maybe but you made me cool in that fic ! ^___^ But Sage is acting a little OOC if you are asking me�

Shadow : Well it depends on how you view Sage�s personality. And of course you are cool Sekhmet, I like the warlords and I think you are cool too. Now if you would all excuse me, I�m tired� *walks away to get some needed sleep : not shit Sherlock it�s 2.11 am ! -_-;;;*
