Fic post from my archive.

Turning Storm

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

"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.

*grins* I'm having a lot of fun poking at Shuuei's possible backstory.
