The Battlefield Within (Shien/Nataku; Gaiden-fic)
Title: The Battlefield Within
Rating: R for dark themes
Warnings: hint of pseudo-shota (centuries-old, but looks like a child)
Word count: 355
Summary: Nataku, the War Prince, only looks like a child. He is centuries old, doomed to serve Heaven as its unwavering executioner. There is at least one in Heaven who believes that this façade and forced service are not in Nataku’s best interest.
Prompt: Saiyuki Gaiden, Shien/Nataku: Forbidden love – "Who will erase the ruthlessness hidden in innocent blood?" (Pablo Neruda)
