Fic post from my archive.

Turning Storm

Shuuei is selected as Prince Seien's bodyguard, and the two get acquainted. Drama, I-3

Shuuei's lips quirked. "Shou-taishi was certainly right that you don't much need anyone else's sword to guard you from attackers," he admitted. "But I hope, my prince, that you will allow me to guard you from this." His gesture took in their match just finished, the blood that had come very close to being spilled.

*cheers for Seien & Shuuei meeting* Seien and Shou needling each other...somehow I see that continuing even when Seien takes the throne. Looking forward to when he meets Kouyuu. Given his reputation, I don't doubt Seien will be able to rival Kouyuu in the intelligence department as well.

Thank you! *grins* And, yeah, I don't think Shou can live without needling; it's like breathing for him.

Kouyuu gets a somewhat more uneventful introduction, but still with lots of scheming and needling between Seien and Shou. I think Kouyuu and Seien will rather hit it off, though, they're both such perfectionists!
