Disclaimer: I don't own KAT-TUN, any of its members, any other JE people. I write this for fun and for other fans of these fine folks. But don't steal my plots, mmkay? I put a great deal of time into them except for when I'm randomly spastically spitting words onto a page. But I value those too... ALSO NOTE that if you steal my land, the language, the names, myths, maps or anything else from it and I find you, I'm sooo gonna be pissed. This world is special to me and I've spent almost 15 years on it.
Summary: Nobody believed an army could cross the mountains. Perhaps that's why nobody was prepared when they did...
Warning: Character death(s). Violence. Maybe more stuff; will modify as needed.
Author's Note: First chapter was hard to write because it has some smut and is very sad, too. But I hope you guys aren't disappointed by chapter one. After I put this and the master post rounds up, I'll also put up the next chapter of the novel from the same world.

Chapter One ~The Goodbye~
Goodbyes were never easy, but this one was especially hard.
The younger man with the light brown wavy hair and the deep brown eyes reached out, snagging the slightly older one by the wrist. “Please, don’t go Pi.”
Kame was doing his best not to cry, but he wasn’t quite succeeding. The other reached out his hand and gently wiped the tears off his cheek. The soft touch caused Kame to close his eyes. “Don’t cry. Otherwise I might start, too, and then where would we be?”
“But Pi…” the younger started, “I might never see you again. You can’t even tell me how long you’ll be gone!”
“Mother calls me home; I have no choice,” Yamapi, the older one, said.
Pouting, Kame responded, “But… right now?” He pulled Yamapi in closer, pressing his lips against Yamapi’s in a passionate kiss.
The elder moaned into it and when the two of them finally stopped to catch their breath, Yamapi whispered, “I guess I can wait a little bit. But then I really have to go…”
“Just shut up and kiss me again, Dragon Boy,” the young prince Kame demanded.
Kame saw Yamapi’s blue wings twitch slightly over the nickname. He wasn’t supposed to call his lover that. Really, he knew better. He was just trying to bait the older one.
But Yamapi didn’t even scold him for it this time. Instead, he put his arms around Kame’s waist and said, “With pleasure.”
Lips met again with Yamapi’s tongue darting around the hot cavern of Kame’s mouth before he moved on to kiss the younger’s throat. Pi always seemed to know just the right way to touch him and kiss him to drive him completely wild… and this time, knowing that the older would soon be gone, Kame was filled with an even greater hunger and a sort of reckless abandon. He clung to Yamapi, pulling him down to the ground while exploring all of him that he could reach with his searching fingertips.
In short order both his and Yamapi’s shirts were off, followed soon by boots and then pants. His need for the older one vibrated along every inch of his skin in a fire that threatened to scorch him completely from the outside inward.
“Oh, Kame…” Yamapi murmured softly as he gently prepared the younger, “Do you know how much I love you?”
Kame’s eyes rolled back and his eyelids fluttered closed at the feel of Yamapi’s fingers inside him. “About… half as much… as I love you?”
“Something like that…” the man with the blue wings breathed, replacing his fingers with his erect member. He pushed in slowly and as he did Kame’s toes curled, his back arched, and his fingernails dug into Yamapi’s back.
They were both so desperate for each other that it didn’t take all that long for them both to climax. As they lay there together, basking in the afterglow, Yamapi said, “That little whimper you make when you come… it’s really, really arousing…”
Kame smiled. “I know. You’ve told me. You tell me every time you want a second round.” But then his smile faded as reality set in. “You’re really leaving, aren’t you?”
“I don’t want to.”
“Then don’t go…” Kame begged, silent tears streaming down his cheek again.
Now Yamapi was crying. “I have to, my little Turtle.”
Kame cried harder when Yamapi called him that.
“Hey, remember when we first met?” Yamapi asked him.
He nodded.

“Why do you have wings? Are you a dragon?” The little boy, Kame, stared in wonder at the slightly older boy.
The older one squirmed uncomfortably under the gaze of the other. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I don’t have wings…”
“But…” and Kame was confused. He started to point back and forth between the two wings. “Those blue things… those are wings…?”
The older reached back and grabbed ahold of one of them. “Oh, Man’dekael save me…. I can feel them there. That means you really see them… Oh, papa’s gonna kill me!”
Was it his imagination or did the other boy look frightened? Kame watched as the other started pacing.
“I didn’t mean to see them! I take it back! I don’t see them!”
The older perked up. “Really?” he asked hopefully. But when he reached behind himself, he grabbed ahold of the wing again and he looked mad again. “You lied! You still see them!”
Kame shook his head. “No, I don’t. How would you even know?”
“Papa says if nobody sees them they don’t exist!”
Kame’s eyes went wide. “Really? That’s so neat! It’s magic, just like the Mages!”
“…. really? You’re not just saying that?”
“I always wanted to meet a real dragon. Mama says they’re just bedtime stories.” His mind was racing. Oh, his sister Marina was gonna be so jealous when she heard he met a dragon and she didn’t. “My name’s Kame. Do you want to play hide and seek with me, Dragon Boy?”
Pouting, the other boy says, “Not a dragon. Papa’s not a dragon so I’m not a dragon.”
“But the wings…?”
“Promise me you won’t tell anyone! Promise! Or I’ll go away and you’ll never see me again.”
Kame hesitated. “Not even my sist-”
“Promise!”
Now Kame was sulking a bit. It wasn’t the same if he couldn’t tease Marina. But he really wanted the dragon to stay and play with him, so he finally said, “Okay, I promise.”
The dragon boy smiled. “My name is Yamapi…”
+++
“I remember asking you about the wings you swore you didn’t have,” Kame laughed softly, tears still running down his cheeks.
Yamapi replied, “Well, in all fairness, they weren’t there until you saw them. Father couldn’t even see them. Only I could, when I looked in the mirror… until I met you.”
“I used to get in so much trouble with Madam Drezelda for sneaking out to come visit you when we were still kids.”
Kissing him on the tip of the nose, Yamapi asked, “And now?”
A small smile. “Mother thinks I’m sneaking out to meet with some commoner. A female lover that I have to hide because she’s of low station. Mother and father are both still pushing those noble women on me, trying to marry me off. I wish they’d leave me be.”
“You still don’t want to be king, do you?”
“Well, if I was king, I’d make you my Manyal since I can’t marry you like I want,” Kame said quickly, sort of burying his face against Yamapi’s chest as he neared the end of his sentence.
Yamapi gave him that look like he’d just said something completely foolish. “I’m a guy; I can’t be your official mistre… You want to marry me?”
“Yes. I want to marry you. What a silly question.” Kame put a hand on Yamapi’s cheek and whispered, “Take me with you…”
“You’d really leave it all behind? Everyone you know? Even your sister? I know how close you two are…”
“In a heartbeat.” But as Kame watched, Yamapi’s eyes shifted from brown to blue and then the blue started to seep into the white until both eyes were entirely blue.
“Pi?” Kame was scared. He’d never seen that happen before. “Pi?!” Shaking his lover, he started rambling, “Pi, wake up. Talk to me. I don’t know what’s happening…”
And just as suddenly as it had come on, Yamapi’s eyes snapped back to normal and he blinked a few times. Kame thought he seemed disoriented. “Pi?”
“Yeah…”
“What just happened?”
A whisper, barely loud enough to hear, “Mother says I can’t bring you with me. And she said…” And Yamapi’s voice sounded tight.
“What? What else did she say?”
But Yamapi only shook his head and said, “It doesn’t matter. Don’t worry about it.” Kame saw Yamapi reaching for his clothes, so he did the same. Neither of them talked while they dressed.
Was it his imagination or did Yamapi seem colder towards him suddenly?
The silence continued awkwardly after they were dressed until finally Yamapi said, “I have to go now.”
“I’ll wait for you. However long it takes, I’ll wait for you! Will… will you wait for me?” Kame asked.
“I will always love you, my little Turtle.”
And as Kame watched Yamapi walk away, he whispered to himself, “That’s not what I asked…” And when he could no longer see his lover, he fell to his knees, sobbing with his head in his hands.

Chapter Two ~The Battle in the Gardens~
A/N: So, what do you think? I know it's not very long but the first few chapters are basically gonna be a sort of "this is a snapshot of the world before" so that when the major stuff starts happening, you can do a before/after comparison. Which means next chapter is a day in the life of Jin and Tatsuya, then Ryo. Then... stuff. Stuff you don't get to know yet because I don't wanna give away plot.
Okay, I know that Kame is Japanese for turtle and that the nunfeare elves don't speak Japanese so... willing suspension of disbelief, okay? Just accept that turtle is what Pi calls him for absolutely no logical reason.
