Wolf Guardians: Chapter 5- Let The Training Commence

	Vance had already shown the first main floor to James already.
They where almost half way done with the second floor, when James saw two
doors, "What's in there?"

	Vance looked at where James was pointing, "Oh, that's just the
banquet or ballroom, nothing really in there."

	James opened the door on the right side and peeked in.  The
afternoon sunlight shined on the glassy floor.  He looked around the room
and saw to chandeliers that had crystals hanging from it.  In the far-left
corner James saw a cover grand piano.  He opened the door and went in.
Vance just watched where James was going.  "Oh you just saw the piano."

	James looked over his shoulders and smiled.  James removed the
cover and folded it and put it on the floor.  He opened the top of the part
of the keys.  "Do you play the piano?"  Vance asked James.

	"I know only a little, I'm not that good though."  James admitted.

	"Go ahead play something."  Vance told him.

	"Okay, since you asked."  James smiled and composed himself on the
stool.

	He put his hands in position and started to play, like it was
second nature to him.  So far what Vance was hearing he was enjoying.  'And
he said he wasn't very good at playing.  He was just being modest.'

	At some points during his playing, Vance heard James humming to
what he was playing.  'Whoa, he can sing too?  Boy he is full of
surprises.'

	Vance was just lost in the music and leaned on top of the piano.
When James was finished, he opened his eyes and looked at Vance.  "That was
very good.  But you said that you weren't good."  Vance gave him 'I caught
you in a lie' look.

	"Well, I don't think I'm that good."  James smiled.

	"It's not what you should think, it's how you feel when you play."
Vance commented.

	"You're right."  James agreed.

	"You also sing too?"  Vance asked.

	"Yeah, kinda sorta."  James smiled and blushed a little.

	"Kinda sorta??  With a set of pipes like that you sound like a
professional."  Vance praised.

	"You really don't have to go that far about it."  James turned even
redder.

	"I never heard that song before, who wrote it?"  Vance asked.

	"Me." James admitted.

	Vance's eyes widened with awe, "You write song too?  That was
pretty good.  Boy is there anything you want to admit to?"

	James couldn't help but laugh.  'Boy Rance, you don't even know
what he is capable of doing.  You're one lucky cousin.'  Vance thought.

	"Oh there you guys are."  They both heard a voice.

	They both looked that the doors to see Rance standing there.  "Ah
cousin you're back."  Vance said.

	James looked at both of them, "You guys are cousins?"

	"Yes Vance is my cousin, and the best we have in our family."
Rance smiled.

	"Now you're being to modest Rance."  Vance laughed.

	"Now that you mentioned it I do see a similarity."  James
commented.

	"Master Zang is here and would like to speak to you Vance."  Rance
told his cousin.

	"Oh he does.  Probably wants another match after last time."  Vance
chuckled.

	"I wouldn't blame him, you didn't kick his butt."  Rance remarked.

	"Well, I'll let James entertain you with his piano playing, singing
abilities."  Vance said as he walked towards the door.

	Rance turned around, "You play and sing?  I never knew that?"

	"Just because you had the mirror, it never showed what I could do
did it?"  James smiled.

	"Well, I have to hear you sometime, but now I wanna show you
something outside.  Come with me."  Rance held out his hand to him.

	James got up and put his hand in Rance's.

	Once outside Rance covered his eyes with his hands and guided James
to where they were going.

	Inside someone was watching them from a window.  He had long black
hair with his in a ponytail.  "So he is the one.  The one that Rance cares
so much about."  The man said.

	"Yes Master Zang.  I can see why he is so in love with him too."
Vance said.

	Zang turned around to Vance, "Vance don't tell me that you have
feelings for him?"

	"Yes Master, ever since Rance showed me in that mirror.  I've never
admitted it to someone before.  But it's Rance that James will be with and
be happy with."  Vance admitted.

	"Vance, even though it kills you, you still press on.  I'll pray
that you do find someone like him."  Zang patted Vance on the shoulder,
"From what I can sense from him, he has a very strong heart, and will.  He
needs to work on his body now.  I can see and sense it's out of tone."

	"Master, please do not tell Rance this, I don't want to lose both
of them, my own family, and someone I care about."  Vance pleaded with
Zang.

	"Don't worry Vance I know nothing of the matter."  Zang turned back
to the window.

	Back outside Rance stopped at a gate and opened the door.  "Okay,
you can open your eyes now."  Rance removed his hands and James opened his
eyes.

	James couldn't believe what he was seeing.  He had to blink more
then twice to make sure that his vision was okay.  They were standing in a
beautiful garden full of blooms.  James heard the trickle of water.  In the
far back of the garden was a waterfall, surrounded by trees and ferns.  "My
goodness, it feels like I've died and gone and this is paradise."  The
beauty of what he was seeing blew James away.

	"So you like it then?"  Rance asked.

	"I love it.  It's so beautiful!"  James exclaimed.

	"As beautiful as you are."  Rance commented.

	"I'm going to have to get used to comments like that."  James was
red in his cheeks.

	"I know.  You haven't really had luck in that area, but it will
grow on you, and hopefully I will."  Rance kissed James' forehead.

	"Well, I don't mind the kissing.  But let's get something
official."  James said.

	Rance just looked at him, "I know how you feel about me, and right
now I just like you, but I think with time that will change.  So do you
want to be my boyfriend?"

	Rance smiled and looked at him, "Do I have to really answer that?
You already now the answer to that."

	"Well, I just wanted to make it more official okay, give me a
break, I've never done this before."  James said sarcastically.

	"Okay, yes I'd be honored to be your boyfriend."  Rance laughed a
little in answering.

	"Alright then, what happens from here?"  James looked around.

	"I don't know either, cause I'm also new to this thing."  Rance
laughed.

	"So your grandfather told me."  James smiled.

	"I see, now I know what you guys where talking about."  Rance
commented.

	"Yes we did talk about you, but other things as well."  James
added.

	"Well, if it's between you two, then that's the way it must stay."
Rance put his hand on James' arm.

	Out of the bushes in the garden black wolves walked out.  James
noticed this right away.  Rance also saw this and got in front of James.
"I want you to run back inside and tell Vance about they are here and where
they are.  I'll be right behind you." Rance instructed James.

	James shook his head and ran to the gate.  "You shouldn't be here
you know."  Rance said before he morphed.

	James heard the growls of wolves.  He heard a yelp and stopped, 'No
James he told you to get Vance and tell what's going on, just run.' James
continued running.

	Zang saw James running back into the house, "Vance something is
wrong James is running here and Rance isn't following."

	Vance looked out the window, "Let's go and see what's going on."

	Both men ran out of the room and went to meet James.  James got
inside and called out for Vance, "Vance! Vance!"

	"I'm right here James, what's going on?"  Vance asked.

	James tried to catch is breath, "It's them in the garden, and Rance
is still there."

	"I'm on my way Vance to help him."  Zang ran towards the garden.

	"I want you to stay here, it's you they are after."  Vance
instructed.

	Vance then ran after Zang.  James then heard the sound of a wolf
howling.  James looked out the door he came in and saw more wolves running
to the garden.  "I must help, but what can I do?"  James said still
catching his breath.

	Out in the garden there chaos was being torn apart.  Zang turned
into a dragon keeping them away from Rance.  Rance was being attack from
every side of him.  When the other white wolves came in they soon got the
black wolves away from Rance.  Rance was bleeding severely and collapsed.
Then another black wolf appeared over the wall.  This black wolf was a
little bigger then the others.  It saw Rance laying on the ground and
growled.  It leaped towards Rance.  It was stopped six feet before Rance.

	James landed on the ground with a thud on his back.  The wolf was
on him, showing its fangs.  The other wolves stopped what they where doing
and focused their attention to James.  The black wolf snarled.  James
looked at Rance breathing hard and in pain.  His eyes rolled in the back of
his eyelids.  Before the black wolf knew what was happen it was tossed in
air, flying backwards.  James stood up from the ground with his eyes
pupiless.  His form started to shift.  There was a light glowing around him
that blanketed him.  The light faded away and where James was, stood a gray
wolf.

	The gray wolf growled at the black wolf, which recovered from being
thrown.  "Foolish boy."  The gray wolf heard in his head.

	"It's you who is foolish."  The gray wolf's metal voice spat back.

	The gray wolf took off running at the black wolf.  The gray wolf
grabbed the black wolf's neck and threw the black wolf over him.  The gray
wolf turned around, "I suggest you and you're kind leave this place at once
or you answer to me."

	The black wolf now in a weakened state, growled and snapped at the
gray wolf and ran out threw the gate entrance, with the other black wolves
following.  All the white wolves looked at the gray wolf.  The gray wolf
then collapsed on it's side and changed back into James.

	The white wolves shifted back into their human form.  Vance quickly
went to Rance to see if he was okay.  With touching Rance, Rance turned
back to his human form, "He needs to treated fast get him inside quickly."

	Vance then went over to James, 'What the hell did you just do James
Matthew?  Why didn't you stay inside like I told you to?  You could of
gotten hurt or even..'  Vance felt a hand on his shoulder.

	Zang looked at him, "There is more to this man then we even know."

	"Let's get him inside."  Rance picked James up in his arms, and
they left the garden.


	Three hours later James sprung up in sweat as he relived what had
happened in the garden.  He was breathing hard.  "What the hell happened to
me?"  James looked at his hands, "How did I do that?"

	The door opened and Vance stepped in the room.  "You're awake good.
I need to ask you some questions.  How did you do that James back there?"
Vance sat next to James.

	"Actually I was asking that myself, and yet I don't know.  The only
thing that I remember is looking at Rance and then it got blurry, and one
thing led to another.  I remember what happened, but yet I felt it wasn't
me."  James explained.

	"What you did was save Rance.  I'm glad you didn't listen to me
when I told you to stay in here.  The whole house is talking about what you
did."  Vance smiled, "Come on now, Rance is awake and wanted me to see if
you where awake.  So, now that you are come with me."  Vance got up.

	James got up out of the bed and followed Vance.  When he got up he
felt dizzy.  Vance saw this and caught him, "Boy whatever happened to you
must have done a ringer on you.  Let me help you to Rance's room."

	"Thank you Vance."  James let Vance help him.

	Once outside the room the hall was lined with people.  As they
passed them they bowed their heads at James.  James was a little confused,
then remembered what Vance told him.  James thought it was the appropriate
thing to do and nod his head at them.  Once they reached Rance's room
someone opened the door for them.  When the got into the room, Zang was
standing on one side of Rance's bed.  Dr. Phillips was on the other side
checking Rance's pulse.  The doctor looked up and smiled.  A smile came
over Rance's face.  Vance helped him to the bedside.  "Is he okay
Dr. Phillips?"  James asked.

	"I'm glad that you remembered my name, and yes he is, just a few
scratches and bruises that's just about it.  How are you son, I heard you
went through an ordeal."  The doctor asked.

"I feel okay, except when I stood up, but I think it's a side effect from
what happened."  James told Dr. Phillips.

"Well, everything seems to be all right with you Rance, just rest for
awhile, don't do anything over strenuous.  Let those scratches heal.  I'm
counting on you Mr. Matthew's to make sure that he does okay?"
Dr. Phillips smiled.

"Yes doctor, I'll make sure, and if that doesn't work I have help."  James
smiled back.

"Thank you doctor, I appreciate it."  Rance said.

"I'll show myself out to the door then."  The doctor said and grabbed his
stuff.

"Let me escort you doctor."  Vance said and followed the doctor.

"I guess I'll let you two talk then."  Zang said knowing that Rance would
want to be alone with James.

The door closed behind Zang and James looked back at Rance.  They just
looked at each other and saying nothing.  James decided to break the
silence and laughed.  "I don't know how it all happened with me.  It's
kinda funny, cause something must of reacted when I saw you laying there."
James started to explain.

"So I heard what happened.  What were you thinking at that time?"  Rance
asked.

"What I was thinking is that this couldn't of been happening, not like
this.  And when I looked at you I thought, we just said we'd be boyfriends,
and I didn't want to see that end right then and there.  I wanted to
experience what it is like to be in a relationship."  James answered.

"Very noble and true thoughts of your heart.  From what I'm guessing is
that some of the power reacts to your emotions and a little is release at a
time when your emotions are at the highest.  It seems like a plausible way
why you morphed.  Thanks by the way, cause what you did came from the
heart."  Rance said.

	James smiled and looked at Rance, "You're welcome."

	Rance sat up and put his hand over James hand.  They both leaned in
towards each other.  They locked their lips.  Their kiss got more
passionate.  James leaned his body more in having Rance lay down again.
"Stay with me here for the rest of the day."  Rance asked.

	"I will don't worry."  James replied as they continued to kiss.

	It was a little after seven at that time.  As they were kissing
Rance undid the buttons to the shirt he gave James earlier.  As soon as it
was unbuttoned, James took off the shirt.  James had hair on his upper part
of his chest.  He wasn't the most fit but Rance didn't care.  By this time
James was laying on top of Rance.  Rance moved his hands all over James'
back.  His hands went all the way under the pants feeling James' bubble
butt.  Both of them were both aroused.  James slowly had maneuvered the
pants to his feet.  Rance had both of his hands on both cheeks and started
to massage them and grab them.  "Just to let you know that you're the only
one with any clothing on."  Rance thought he bring up.

	James just grinned, "Well, it was just some work for you to do.
Now finished what was started."

Rance obliged and took off the boxer briefs.  James laid totally naked on
top of Rance.  "Do you mind if I join you under these sheets?"  James
asked.

	"Do you think I'm not going to let you?"  Rance sarcastically
remarked, and lifted the sheet up.

	James slipped under the sheet next to Rance.  Rance rolled on top
of James.  Rance started to kiss on James' neck.  James just let out gasps
of air as it felt so warm.  "This is so perfect."  James said, "But I don't
wanna go any further then what's happening, cause I want it to be out of
love.  Since my feeling will have to develop."

	"Then let's make an agreement, we won't have sex, and nothing goes
farther than this, until that time."  Rance suggested.

	"Agreed then."  James agreed with the compromise, "Sorry to have
killed the mood."

	"That's okay. I understand, I have you here, and that's all that
matters."  Rance laid back beside James.

	James laid on his left side and put his hand on Rance's chest,
resting his head on the one of four pillows.  "So can I hear that voice of
yours?"  Rance looked over and put his arm around James brining him closer.

	"Sure." James answered and started humming.

	James hummed a melody that he knew pretty well for about four
minutes.  When he was finished Rance looked at him, "Boy you have an
amazing voice.  Next time I'll have to hear you play if you sing this
good."

	James blushed a little.


* * * * * *

The next morning James was woke up to someone shaking him.  "James get up,
it's time for your training."  Vance's voice whispered.

	James just groaned, "Give me a robe please."

	Vance went into Rance's closet and got a robe then gave it to
James.  "Better hurry now, Master Zang is waiting outside."  Vance told
James.

	"What time is it?"  James asked all groggy.

	"It's a quarter to six."  Vance answered.

	James just turned around, "Okay back to bed then."

	Vance grabbed a hold of James' arm and swung him around, "I take it
you're not a morning person?"

	"Does it look like I get up this early in the morning?"  James
pointed to his face and hair.

	Vance just chuckled softly.  "Hurry get some shorts, and a shirt on
so you can get something to eat."  Vance tried to have James hurry up.

	James reluctantly did what he was told.  After getting dressed he
followed Vance to the kitchen.  James sat down at the table and grabbed a
banana, a muffin and poured a glass of apple juice.  "It this how early
we're going to get up everyday for training?"  James asked then took a
drink of the juice.

	"Knowing Master Zang, yep."  Vance was no busy reading the paper.

	"I am so not ready for this."  James grumbled.

	James then felt two hands on his shoulders.  He turned around and
saw Rance standing in a half sleep daze.  "Morning cousin."  Vance said as
he grabbed his cup of coffee and drank it.

	Rance just smile reluctantly and then looked down at James, "Well,
hope you're ready for today.  Master Zang is very good, but strict, so
listen to what he has to say to you okay.  All you can do is try your best
then improve on it."

	"Thanks for the support, and might I add you're suppose to stay in
bed.  Doctor's orders you know."  James smiled, peeled he banana and took a
bit off the top so Rance would see.

	Rance just looked at James like he was going to get even with doing
the thing with the banana.  "You just wait their mister, I'll get ya."

	Vance just snickered behind the paper. "And I'll your little
practicing buddy their too."  Rance added and poured a cup of coffee and
went back to his room.

	Ten minutes later, after finishing breakfast, they met Master Zang
in the practicing courtyard.  "I hope both of you sleep well?"  Master Zang
suggested something to James in his voice.

	"Yes, I actually did."  James answered, unaware of what Zang was
asking.

	Vance just smiled smugly and tried not to laugh.  James saw Vance's
face and then it finally dawned on him what was meant, "I meant I rested
well, ah forget it!"

	Both Vance and Zang couldn't help but busting out in laughter.
James was not amused at all.  "Sorry about that, it's early morning humor."
Zang got a hold of himself, "Okay the first thing we are going to do is
learn self defense.  If you can't defend your body, then my god have pity
on you.  Now for the moment being Vance will be helping me training you.
He will be training partner."

	Zang took both of them and had them facing each other.  "Now I want
you to block all the maneuvers that Vance makes towards you, and remember
to focus on every move he makes.  Okay Vance now."  Zang instructed him.

	Vance started swinging his arms at James' face.  James leaned to
the sides and then leaned back.  Vance then tried to attack James by coming
at his with his elbow.  James caught Vance's elbow and pushed it to the
side.  "Very good, but remember watch 'every' move he makes.  James tried
to avoid or block all Vance's maneuvers.  James was so focused on watching
Vance's hands and arms, that Vance crouched down and swung his leg under
James'.  James fell on the pads in a moan.  "You know it a good thing we
are training on a padded ground, cause if we weren't I'd be kicking a
little butt by now."  James remarked.

	Vance helped James up to his feet.  Master Zang came over to James,
"You didn't watch every move did you?"

	James swallowed hard, "No I didn't.  I was just watching his hands
and arms, I forgot that he could use his legs."

	"Very good, now let's try it again shall we?"  Zang stepped back.

	Vance started his assaults towards James.  James blocked and
avoided all of them, keeping his eyes moving to see what Vance would do
next.  Vance crouched down again and swung his leg.  This time James did a
backwards flip without even thinking.  "Very good and impressive so far."
Zang praised James.

	"Okay, that was weird.  I have never done a flip in my entire
being."  James said.

	"It was natural instinct, you don't have to have all your moves
planned out, sometimes your body will do it naturally, just like what you
did."  Zang explained, "And important thing is to trust and listen to your
body.  Your body will tell you things just as well as your mind does."

	After five hours of defensive training the three of them went into
the house for lunch.  "I must say that you are doing very good for your
level James.  You catch on very quickly.  After lunch we will have and hour
break for the food to digest a little and then we train some more, but this
time on offense."

	Rance then came into the kitchen, "So it's going that well huh?"

	Zang shook his head as he had food in his mouth.  "And what about
you mister, and you resting like you should?"  James asked.

	"On the contrary Mr. James I am. Even though I lay on the bed, I
still have my duties to the house and the family business."  Rance replied.

	"So you've turned your bedroom into a office in other words?"
James asked.

	"Uh-huh." All Rance seemed to say.

	"Whatever works for you."  James said.

	Rance came from behind James and kissed him on his neck and groped
him.  James jumped a little tried, and tried keeping the food in his mouth.
"How's that for earlier this morning?"  Rance whispered.

	Rance grabbed a glass that he filled with water and left.  James
continued eating with his face all red.  Zang and Vance tried not to laugh,
but little snickers came out from both of them.  "Revenge is sweet, but the
war isn't totally over yet."  James said as he looked at the two.  They got
getting lunch and did their own things.

	James thought he'd just walk around.  Zang and Vance where in the
family study when James walked by.  The door was cracked open a bit and
James listened.  "You're doing good so far Vance."  Zang cheered.

	"I don't know how long it will last though master.  When I'm near
him I just want to hold him in my arms and keep him there."  Vance said
back.

	"I know that it might have not been a good idea for you being his
training partner, but it's only until Rance's wounds are held."  Zang
added.

	'What?!  Vance has a crush on me?  Oh god I don't know if I was
suppose to hear that.  Okay this is going to be awkward now, knowing that
he has feelings for me.  I'll just go on and pretend I don't know
anything."  James stepped away from the door and continued to walk down the
hall.

	"Hold on master, I have a funny feeling."  Vance put their
conversation on momentary hold and walked to the door.

	He opened the door and looked around.  He saw James walking towards
the stairs.  He closed the door behind me and sighed and had worried face.
"What the matter Vance?"  Zang asked.

	"Well, I don't now if he heard what we were talking about but James
went by the door."  Vance explained his actions.

	"Was the door shut all the way?"  Zang asked.

	"It was open a little ways.  I hope he didn't hear anything."
Vance sat down on the couch.

	"I bet he didn't hear anything and that is was just coincidence
that he walked by."  Zang assured Vance.

	James had went into the room that he had stayed in the previous
night, and found some of his stuff had arrived.  This made him happy to see
some of his stuff.  There was a box the had 'pictures' written on it.  He
opened the box and pulled out a binder.  He opened and started to look at
the pictures.  He sat down and started to remember when he was younger.  He
saw picture of his friends and family.  "I wish I could see what they are
doing right now and tell them I'm okay."  He put the binder down and saw
another box that said 'music'.

	He quickly opened it and found a blue notebook.  "Thank god I have
this, just incase I need it.

	He left the room and went down the hall to the ballroom.  He sat
down at the piano and started doing exercises.  He opened the book and
turned to a page that had notes marked on it.  He smiled and started
playing the notes on the page.  He soon started to hum to the melody and
closed his eyes.  The hour flew fast.  When James didn't show back up at
the training grounds.  Zang and Vance started to worry about him and
decided to look for him.  They both separated to make the search go faster.

	Vance started upstairs where he saw James go.  The first room he
checked was the ballroom, but no one was there.  He then went down the hall
further and opened a door.  He saw James laying on the bed with something
beside him.  This got Vance's curiosity and went over to see what it is
was.  As he got closer he noticed tear streaks on his James' face.  He then
looked at what James had.  He read the words in his head.

My life has decided to change My past slowly starting to fade.  New people
in my life To hard to explain why.  Two hearts that love me, And my heart
just wants to be free.

My life isn't easy I feel like I'm in misery, Some come and set me free.
My life isn't easy, It's getting hard to see, Somebody please help me, My
life isn't easy.

	Vance stopped reading there, for tears started to form in his eyes.
He put the book down and pulled a blanket over him. He closed the door and
saw Zang coming his way.  "Did you find him Vance?"  Zang asked.

	Vance put his finger on his lips and whispered, "He's sleeping.  He
saw some of his stuff was hear and went through some of it. I could tell he
must of cried to sleep as he had pictures out.  He must be missing his
family and friends right now.  Is all right if we just call off the rest of
the training today and let him rest?  He hasn't had time to let this all
settle in yet."

	"We can today, for his sake.  I feel sorry that all of this is
happening to him so suddenly and so fast.  But I don't say so on what fate
and destiny have planned for us."  Zang sighed.


	James woke up and found Rance was sitting on the bed, "Hello
sleepyhead.  Get enough sleep?"

	James sprang up quickly, "Holy shit, how long have been sleeping?"

	"Calm down, they cancelled the rest of the training today."  Rance
announced the news.

	"I'm sorry Rance, it's just when I saw my stuff I went through some
of it.  I wasn't aware of the time."  James started to explain.

	"Shhhh. You don't need to apologize.  You're got a little homesick,
that's all, it happens to all of us."  Rance smiled.

	James found his notebook shut and on the nightstand.  "Hate to
asked but did you read what was in there?"  He asked Rance.

	"It was already shut when I got in here, so I put it on the stand
for you."  Rance answered.

	They just looked at each other.  Tears started to fall out of
James' eyes.  "Go ahead and cry, let it all out."  Rance pulled James into
him.

	James cried on Rance's chest and put his arms around him.  James
sat back up and wiped away his tears.  "Do you feel better now?"  Rance
smiled.

	James smiled back, "I'm okay now."

	"Well, you missed dinner, but I can fix you something.  Let's go to
kitchen and see what you'd like.  I'll be your personal chef tonight."
Rance stood up.

	"Food does sound good right now."  James laughed and got up.

	They went to the kitchen, "So what would you like babe?"  Rance
asked as he looked in fridge.

	"Now that's going to take a while to get used to."  James smiled
and looked in the fridge.

	James saw a couple of chicken fillets, some rice.  He grabbed them
and went over to the stove.  "What do you think you're doing?"  Rance
asked.

	"Okay where are the pans?"  James started opening cupboard doors.

	"They are bottom of the stove drawer."  Rance pointed out.

	James laughed, "Oh I should of looked there first, silly me."

	He got out a large skillet and put it on the stove. He turned the
heat on to medium-high.  "You still haven't answered my question, what do
you think you're doing?"  Rance asked again.

	"What does it look like, cooking of course."  James smiled and put
the chicken in the skillet.

	"Hey I told you that I would cook for you."  Rance started to
protest.

	"How about this, we both cook?"  James smiled again.

	"Okay, tell me what to do, and I can help."  Rance said.

	"Okay find the Italian seasoning for me and I'll just nuke the rice
a little later."  James told him.

	Rance looked through the spices, "Italian season, found it."

	"All right we, need a little oil for the pan, here it is."  James
put some oil in the pan, "Go ahead and put the seasoning on the fillets"

	Fifteen minutes they got done cooking.  James grabbed two plates
and put on fillet on a plate and some rice.  While they were letting the
fillets James found some alfredo sauce and warmed it up.  He put it over
the chicken and the rice.  They both sat down and started to eat.  "You
cook to, what don't you do?"  Rance asked.

	"Now if I tell you it wouldn't be a surprise."  James grinned.

	Rance took a bit of the chicken, "Mmmmm..this tastes good, where'd
you learn to cook?"

	"My mother."  James smiled proudly.

	They both finished and cleaned the dishes they used.  "Well, I
guess I should go to bed, cause I've got training early."  James said.

	"Well, I hope you sleep well."  Rance kissed James on the cheek.

	"Night Rance."  James said.

	"Night sexy."  Rance said back.

	James blushed a little.  James went into his room and got ready for
bed.  James tried to sleep but couldn't.  He then heard someone walking
outside.  He peeked out of his door, and saw Vance.  He opened the door a
little more, "Vance, what are you doing?"  James asked.

	Vance turned around and smiled at James, "I see you're awake, but
you should get some sleep."

	Vance was wearing a blue Speedo with a towel draped over his
shoulders.  James just gave him the elevator eyes, "I can't get to sleep,
and heard you going by."

	"Sounds like you could get the hot tub like I did.  Remember where
the pool is?"  Vance asked him.

	James shook is head.  "Okay, don't have to much fun and don't stay
up to late."  Vance said and waved bye.

	James rummaged through the boxes that had his clothes.  He found
his pair of trunks and grabbed a towel and headed down stairs.  When he
opened the door to the pool he saw Rance swimming laps.  James carefully
walked to the hot tub without getting noticed.  He got into the hot tub
without making too much noise.  He rested his head on the back of the tub
and closed his eyes.

	Rance got done swimming and notices a towel by the hot tub.  He
climbed out of the pool and walked to the hot tub.  He just shook his head
when he was James there relaxing.  Rance quietly went over and pushed
James' head in the tub, making James struggle.  When James came to the
surface he moved his hair aside and looked at Rance who moved to the pool
and laughing his head off.

	James got out of the hot tub and ran towards Rance.  He grabbed
Rance and they both went into the pool.  When Rance came up for air he saw
James wearing a grin.  "Thought you could get away with that huh?"  James
asked.

  	"Come here you."  Rance started swimming towards James.

	James quickly went under water.  Rance couldn't see where he went.
Behind Rance a pair of wet hands came out of the water and pulled on
Rance's shoulders pulling him underneath the water again.  Rance came up
again and looked around for James.  James was sitting on the edge of the
pool holding a pair of shorts on his index finger.  Rance checked with his
hands and found his shorts where gone.  "If you want them, come and get
them."  James said.

	Rance swam over to James.  He pulled himself up in front of James,
"Thought that was clever of you?"

	"I thought so, since that was for groping me this afternoon."
James still wore a grin on his face.

	Rance leaned in more and James laid on his back.  James pulled
Rance's head in.  They started kissing deeply.  "I thought you were suppose
to be sleeping?"  Rance broke their kiss.

	"I couldn't sleep, and heard Vance walk by my room.  He told me the
same thing, and then told me to come here, and here I am."  James
explained.

	"Well, I'm glad you did then, cause I couldn't sleep either."
Rance added.

	"Then why don't we get dried and you can stay with me tonight?"
James suggested.

	"Love that plan."  Rance remarked and kissed James' lips, then
grabbed his shorts.

	James got up and grabbed his towel and started to dry off.  Rance
came from behind him and hugged him.  "I ache all over with the training.
Plus, I'm not in the great of shape either."  James said.

	"That doesn't matter to me."  Rance commented.

	"Shall we got then?"  James asked.

	"Lead the way."  Rance motioned to the door.
