Sin had a completly dumbfounded look on his face. He blushed deeply and looked away as well. "Oh...um..." he tried to say something but his mind failed him.

Ian had followed Sin's scent all the way to the castle. Instead of just barging in, he had decided to go around the building and try his luck with his bat ears to see if he could pick up anything. Unfortunatly, he had. He'd heard everything. He transformed back to his human form, a worried ex
pression on his face. For the first time in his life he didn't know what to do and Sin couldn't help him.

Sin jumped up and ran past Hiten. "Stay here!" he shouted over his shoulder. He found the castle's exit and ran through it. He yelped as he felt himself immediatly tackled and pinned to the castle wall. He looked up into orange eyes. "Ian!" he gasped.

Ian gave him a worried look. "Are you ok, Sin?!" He demanded. "Did she hurt you?!"

Sin stared at him, too stunned and confused to answer.

The lion followed Sin and growled at what he saw Ian had come.He ran back to Kia to report it was Ian.Kia gasped"No!he's harder to escape from than Sin is!"she waited for Sin to come back.

"I-I'm fine!" Sin managed to gasp, strugling against Ian. However the blond held him still, trailing one of his hands down Sin's arm and resting it against his neck.

"Good," Ian muttered. "Cuz, you know, it almost sounded like you were trying to help her escape. To another world, in fact." His squeezed hard on Sin's throat, causing the older boy to choke. "That was quite a cute moment you two were having, sorry I had to spoil it!" Ian hissed, squeezing even harder.

Sin used his free hand to try and pry off Ian's hand from his throat in vain. The smaller boy was just too strong.

Ian gave him a dissapointed look. "Sin, tell me it's a lie." He said quietly. "Tell me you were only tricking her to gain her trust. Tell me I don't have to do this." Ian was almost begging.

Sin couldn't say anything even if he wanted to. He felt himself getting light-headed from lack of air. His hand slipped from Ian's wrist and he gave Ian a desperate look.

Sin's body shut down, no longer able to stay concious without oxygen. He slumped against the wall, the only thing holding him up was Ian's stong hands. Said boy looked like he was about to cry. The one person he looked up to had possibly betrayed him. He knew he should kill Sin, If Sol was here he would of ordered it, but he couldn't bring himself to kill him. He allowed the older boy to collapse to the ground.

((I dunno, maybe))

Ian also looked over at Sin and the argument was quickly forgotten. He risked approaching Sin and knelt beside him, shaking his friends shoulders lightly. Ian hoped he hadn't hurt Sin too much, no order was worth that.

Sin opened his eyes slightly, a dazed look on his face. He coughed violently, brining his hand up to his throat where purple marks had already began to form.

((Ok, bye.)) 

Sin managed to stop coughing but he was still breathing heavily. He looked up at Ian and the blond looked back at him, neither sure what to do or say after what had just happened. Ian scratched the back of his head nervously. The tension between the two was so thick it could of been cut with a knife.
