Crimson Moonlight

"Um...Boss..." Ren was quiet underneath the Boss' probing gaze, as it scanned his naked body, save for the boxers clinging to his slender hips. "Do I...have to get naked?" Very uncomfortable in the room with but a shred of clothing on. It had been three days since they had returned for Ren's tri-monthly check-up, and the boss had swindled him into staying a week, while he sent Kyrios on an "exclusive" assignment, which both saw as a ruse just to allow him to experiment on Ren for a week.

He bit back a complaint as the boss's eerily long fingers poked a bare nipple. "I need to observe any physical changes in your body. Don't worry, your body doesn't turn me on." He felt a bullet pierce his pride. He didn't want the Boss to be attracted to him, but he didn't like being seen as unattractive. "Though, these are cute..." A shudder ran down his spine as Mikhail pinched a pink, bud. "But, it's bruised." His fingers touched various bruises that ran across Ren's body, the love bites that trailed his chest and legs. Ren couldn't help but smile as he thought back to Kyrios' gentle nips across his body.

"Well, about those..." A soft streak of crimson crossed his face.

"I don't want to know." The Boss interjected.

After having been thoroughly examined, and refused the right to re-dress at least three different times, the boss finally dismissed him, and allowed him to put his clothes back on. Ren stretched, walking down the freshly memorized corridors of their desert headquarters, each hallway becoming familiar. Ren found himself getting lost a lot less, and no longer having to suffer asking for directions, and then being subjegated to whatever off color comment some horny hunter made as he tried to usher Ren back to his room.

He slipped back to his and Kyrios' room, already missing the raven haired hunter. He'd only been gone a day, and yet, he felt like he was missing a part of himself .Still, he swore not to be clingy, so he wouldn't call and ask Kyrios all about his day and effectively annoy his lover.

No matter how much he wanted too.

He stripped his clothing, ironically seeing as he'd just been allowed to put them back on. He found himself sleeping in his underwear more often lately, though he used to be very conservative in his nightwear, a t-shirt and baggy sleep pants. Now, he wore only his thong, or nothing at all, depending on his and Kyrios' nightly activities.

He stripped down to his boxers, which he wore instead of his thong for the boss' sake, and slipped into the covers of the bed. Kyrios' smell was very faint on the sheets, but still there.

As he cloaked himself in the heavy comforters, he'd just closed his eyes when a vibrating sound filled his ears. His crimson eyes cracked open, watching his cell phone flash and buzz impatiently on the table, begging for it's owners attention. He reached out from the warmth of the covers, taking the phone in his hand, flipping it open to read the text message he'd been sent.

"Bored and horny. Need a nudie pic. Got one for you." Reading the message brought a hysterical giggle from Ren. He opened the attached image, blushing as his eyes fell upon the small, pixalated image. It was Kyrios, naked, sprawled out on the bed with only a thin sheet barely wrapping around his waist, his body glistening with a thin layer of sweat that accentuated every exposed muscle. His hair was slightly damp with sweat, the messy black locks sticking to his face and scattered carelessly about. His plush lips were slightly parted, and his azure eyes seemed so innocent, yet seemed to scream "Come and get some."

"God, Kyrios." Sending him something so delicious. He now had a hard problem he'd have to take care of before going to bed.

With a deep sigh, Ren peeled off his boxers, and lay on his his side, one leg overlapping the other, his milky bottom so teasingly hiding his inner portal. He snapped a picture, and sent it to his rather perverted lover with the message. "You will die if anyone but you sees this." That done, he opened the picture he'd been sent, and began to take care of the problem it caused. Despite the wonderfully sculpted body in the picture, Ren's eyes focused on the gaze, the intense gaze that always stared back at him when he and Kyrios had sex. That icy blue gaze that could bring him to orgasm on it's own.

The phone vibrating in his hand interrupted his "alone time." He opened the new message, which read. "I came. My buddy said you looked hot too." Oh god help him if he wasn't joking.

Ren gave his cock a few more hard tugs, shutting his eyes, actually drowning out the picture, and imagining Kyrios thrusting into him, whispering and nibbling on his ear. Ren's fingers moved down to push into his opening, moaning out into the darkness of the room. With a few more teases of his body, he came hard into the night hair, the smell of his essence mixing with Kyrios' deep musk. Panting, and cleaning himself with a nearby tissue, he sent Kyrios the message, "Me too. Can't wait to see you again. G'Night." He then wrapped himself back in the covers, dreaming of his ebony haired lover.

The next couple of days went by rather simply. He'd train, be examined by Mikhail, who remarked his demonic side had almost completely emerged as the he integrated. He'd then train some more, Kin effortlessly repelling his attacks in sparring. Then at night, if he and Kyrios didn't exchange naughty images, they'd have phone sex, which was almost as hot as the real thing. Kyrios still talked dirty, even when he was having to describe his movements.

Again today, as he finished his day, he held back the urge to run back to his room. He was excited to talk to Kyrios, he was getting way to lonely, and he was afraid his mark was healing, though they'd renewed just before he left and it was far from fading. As he walked down the hall to his room, his crimson eyes scanned a familiar blond leaning against the frame of his door. Jun, and from his posture, he appeared to have been long waiting his eyes closed as he seemed to be napping.

Braced firmly to defend himself, Ren slowly approached him, careful not to make any sudden moves. Once he was in touching distance, or rather restraining distance, Ren allowed himself to speak. "Jun? What're you doing here?"

Jun's eyes cracked open, taking in the sight of Ren. "It's you. I'm sorry, but your name is...Ren...right?" Ren nodded, still wary. He didn't sense any malice, and Jun's eyes seemed to be calm.

"Yes. May I...Help you?" He actually wanted to beat the bastards head in for what happened in the cave.

"Yeah, you can." Jun dropped down to his knees, bowing his head to Ren as his face leveled with Ren's feet. "You can...forgive me. I don't really remember what happened during the time I was possessed but...That's no excuse. I was told what I did, and I...I don't want you to hate me. I'm so sorry!" Ren heard choked sobs fill the air.

He couldn't help but feel his anger melt, his gaze softening as he watched the older man practically kiss his feet. He recalled his time with the succubus, unable to recall any memories, but brief flashes would come forth. Flashes of him hurting people around him. Jun had several months worth of those memories. It had to be hard on him.

Ren gathered Jun up from the floor, giving the blond a warm smile. "Don't worry. I..I've been possessed too so, I understand what you went through. I don't blame you." He patted Jun on the shoulder, wiping the tears from his cheeks. "You should get some sleep, you look tired."

Jun pulled him into a hug, thanking him for his "mercy." As the two were finally parting, and Jun returning to his room, a loud blaring noise rang through the headquarters. The noise was deafening, loud enough to wake the dead as it rang through the headquarters.

"What the hell's that?" Jun gripped Ren by the wrist, darting down the hallway as he tugged Ren desperately behind. "J-Jun!? What the hell are you?"

"It's the alarm! Demons are attacking headquarters!"

Kyrios caught a glimpse of the island from his position over the railing of the new ferry the captain had bought. Much smaller than the previous, but still served it's purpose. He emptied his stomach again, the sea-sickness racking through his muscular body. He wondered what Ren would do, the two hadn't seen each other in a week. Kyrios had finished the hunt quickly, just to get back early. He was looking forward to the "been away for a week" sex he was almost sure to get. After all, the pictures Ren had been sending him were getting more naughty with each passing day. Though, to be fair, so were the one's he'd been sending.

The boat docked, Kyrios doing his normal routine of thanking some unearthly force for his return to land, stretching, and setting out into the desert. He'd brought a canteen of water with him, occassionally allowing the frosty liquid to breach his lips, and spill down his throat to cool himself. He didn't bother with the rest areas, he'd have plenty of time to rest after he had fucked Ren senseless for a couple of hours.

He hummed merrily, surprising even himself with the act, as images flooded his mind of Ren, on his knees, sucking his cock as he gazed up at him with those innocent eyes that made the scene even more erotic. Or, on all fours, head pressed against the pillow as he stretched and widened his hole, begging for Kyrios' cock to be put in him.

He pondered how fatigued he'd become if he'd initiate a sprint through the barren desert, despite the sweltering heat that threatened to shrivel his skin.

Through the desert, a column of smoke came into view. Thinking it to be a mirage, the heat having gotten to him, Kyrios downed a drink of water, but even after cooling himself, he noticed the column of smoke had yet to dissipate.

"What the hell..?"

A loud growl emerged from his left. Kyrios spun around, barely dodging the claws of a monster-type demon. The black skinned beast opened it's mouth, displaying the razor sharp fangs that protruded proudly. Taking that to be a challenge, Kyrios drew his magnum as the little demon lunged forward, planting the barrel of his magnum into the demon's throat and blowing through it's head.

"Demons!? Fuck!" Dispatching the demon, Kyrios did begin a rapid sprint through the desert, multiple similar beastly demons attacking him, only to be put down with ease.

Headquarters came in to view. Though, it would be more accurate to saw, what was left. The once proudly refurbished building in the middle of desert, was now reduced to bricks, and stone that would be buried under the desert sands within a year. The very building which so many hunters called home, was now lost to the sands of time.

Kyrios hurried forward, noticing the many demons that enshrouded the perimeter of the base, many with hunters laying at their feet. They were all of the beast variety, no human characteristics about them, all appearing as variations of animals, or beasts that came from horror movies.

And they all turned their attention to him. Kyrios ground his teeth, the situation was bad. He didn't have nearly enough ammunition to handle the large army, and what few hunters weren't dead, were badly injured. What worried Kyrios more, was Ren was no where in sight, though he considered himself relieved that he wasn't among the dead lying on the ground.

"Where is the Seer?" The voice cut through the desert. All of the demons, who'd begun a slow approach to Kyrios, stopped and spun around, turning their attentions to the man who stood on the highest surviving wall of the former headquarters.

He was tall, wrapped in a layer of sun kissed skin that was barely concealed by the scant clothing he wore, merely an open vest and a tight black leather pants. His hair, shoulder length and snow white contradicted his tanned skin as it flapped helplessly against the desert wind. Unlike the beasts around him, he was of the human variety, and very deadly. "I'll ask again! Where is he!?" His voice harsh and demanding.

His scarlet eyes, so familiar, fell upon Kyrios. "He has the scent." He chimed. Kyrios wasn't sure when the man moved, but in a flash he found himself bumping noses with scarlet eyes. "Your eyes, they are not of the same type. And yet...you have our scent." The tanned man's scarlet eyes man traced Kyrios' body, before his fingers slipped underneath the collar of Kyrios' shirt, tugging it aside. "Oh, so this explains it. One has marked you."

Kyrios pulled away, pressing his magnum to the man's head. "Get the fuck away from me! Are you responsible for all of this!?"

"Yes, I merely wish to meet one such as myself. I'm terribly lonely you see." The magnum pressed harder, Kyrios' finger pulling harshly on the trigger, wanting so badly to see this man's brains scattered against the sand.

"For that!? You killed so many people here, because of that!?"

"They're only humans. Why should I care about the lives of people who's existence is so fleeting." The words were so innocent in their malevolence.

"You motherfucker!" Kyrios pulled the trigger, but the man skated away as the bullet released from the barrel, avoiding the shot.

With a swift movement, the white haired man slapped the gun from Kyrios' grip, the proud silver weapon falling helplessly to the ground. Planting his knee into Kyrios' stomach, a cough ringing through the ears of the few surviving hunters, Kyrios fell to the ground spitting up the blood that had gathered in his mouth. Putting the hunter on his knees, the Seer pushed his foot into black hair, and pressed Kyrios' face to the ground.

"Kneel, you impetuous dog!" The Seer seethed.

Kyrios growled, but the man's foot only pressed harder into his face. "There, obey your master like a good pup."

Defeated, his blue eyes could do little but watch as the demons at this Seer's command resumed their feasting of the hunters, some of which Kyrios had called his friends. Good men, all of them, some with their own problems, but none deserving to be eaten like cheap fast-food. In his despair, he could only hiss, "Dammit..."

"Do you see this, my love!?" The words called out through the empty desert. "This is what happens when a Seer so wishes it. You too, could have this power again!" His foot removed from Kyrios's face, his fingers tangled into black roots and yanked the weakened hunter up. "Will you stay and hide, or watch your lover die?

From the rubble of the ruins three figures emerged. Kyrios' hazy gaze could only make out Ren, and two others desperately trying to stop him. "Stop it!" Ren cried out, emerging from his hiding spot. "Let me go!" He shrugged off the two holding him, and ran forward. As the other two chased him, Kyrios quickly realized the two to be the Boss and Jun.

Ren ran to Kyrios' side, ignoring the tanned Seer next to him. "Kyrios!? I'm sorry! This is my fault!"

"Ah, so you are the new host. Much more beautiful than I expected, but I suppose my love did have good taste." The Seer chimed. He pulled Ren away from Kyrios, the raven-haired hunter falling to the ground.

"Let me go, you asshole!" Ren struggled against the Seer's powerful grip.

"My love, it's been so long." He embraced Ren, hugging him tight as he pulled him close, as though he'd known Ren his whole life. "I know you don't remember me, and it's been so long. But, you'll remember in time. It's me, your lover, Phoenix."

"L-Lover!? Get away from me, This is my lover!" Ren pushed his hands against the Seer's chest and pushed him away.

Phoenix gazed deep into Ren's eyes. "Your eyes are so beautiful when you're angry, they always were." He took hold of Ren's sides, and pushed his lips against the younger Seer, Ren's crimson eyes widening in surprise as Phoenix's talented tongue slipped into his mouth.

Ren pushed Phoenix away, spitting the taste of the man from his mouth. Phoenix tried to embrace Ren once again, but a bullet cut between them, interrupting their "reunion."

Phoenix's scarlet eyes fell upon Kyrios who had recovered enough to pull himself to his knees. He'd retrieved his weapon, and was now aimed to blow through Phoenix's skull.

Ignoring the threat of the weapon, he turned his attention back to Ren. "Let's talk elsewhere. It's so noisy here." He brushed his fingers along the mark under Ren's shirt. "I can replace this later, my love."

"Stop!" Kyrios sprang up, what little strength remaining pushing into his legs as Phoenix took hold of Ren, a deep blaze consuming both of their bodies, vanishing in a flash of azure flames. "No!" Just like last time, Ren taken, and he was helpless to stop it.

The demons who still ravaged the ruins began to attack. The Boss and Jun took Kyrios' side, both armed as they began to fire upon the crowd of demons. "We've gotta get out of here!" Mikhail screamed, backing away with both Jun and Kyrios. "Get to the ferry, I've already called the Captain, he should be there!"

Watching the flames of the ruins burn away, the demons charging after them, the three surviving hunters retreated from their home, leaving behind all they knew.

They fought the demons all the way to port, where the ferry was already waiting. They boarded, making sure to dispatch any demon that got near the boat as it disembarked. Once they were a safe distance from the island, all three collapsed to the deck, tired, confused, and broken.

"What, the fuck happened!?" Kyrios had no time to sugar coat it, and no patience to wait until Jun and the Boss were rested.

"We don't know!" The normally collected boss was clearly in a panic, everything catching up to him, his body trembling and his words chattering. "We-We...We were just getting ready to call it a night last night, when demons just started flooding the entrance. We don't know where they came from, or how they got past the scouts that watch the desert. In fact, they don't even recall anything coming through the desert at night. We tried to fight them off, but-but..." The Boss clenched his head, collapsing to the ground, tears spilling from his eyes.

Jun seemed to still be collected, if a little rattled, as he continued. "That guy called Phoenix started demanding the Seer. We couldn't let them just take him, so the Boss and I hid him, and the hunters fought until-" Jun's gaze darted to the sea. "Well...you saw..."

"Why the fuck does he want Ren?"

Mikhail clenched his teeth. "For Ren's....for Ren's power."

"I thought Phoenix was a Seer too, with the same powers." Jun spoke up.

"He is..." The Boss clenched his head. "I-I can't talk about this right now. I've got to get some rest, or lay down, or something. I don't know. But, I don't feel like talking so..." Mikhail stood, the broken man wading off to the inner deck to lay down.

On the deck, Jun and Kyrios shared an awkward silence. Despite the blond's help, Kyrios was still very much untrusting of the other hunter. He couldn't get past Jun trying to have Ren raped by two other men, possession or not.

"Ren, he..." Jun spoke up, catching Kyrios' attention. "He's a good kid. The whole time me and the Boss were hiding him, he insisted he should be fighting. When you were threatened though, he just blew right through us." Jun smiled. "He's a really good guy. You've got a keeper, Kyrios."

His glare softening, Kyrios smiled, opening his cell phone and reading through the various "I love you" text messages Ren had sent him. "Yeah, I do."

"We'll get him back." Jun spoke up again. "We'll save him, even if it's just you, me, and the Boss, we can definitely rescue him." Kyrios wished that Jun would shut up, the more the blond spoke, the harder it became to still hate him.

He skimmed through the images Ren had sent him, some erotic, some just sweet blown kisses. He'd never felt the need to scream so much in his life, scream to keep tears from spilling down his cheeks. He was so helpless before Phoenix. The strongest hunter among the Organization, beaten so easily by the dainty man with white hair. But he wouldn't lose twice, the second time, he'd kill Phoenix.

Ren gasped as the azure flames dispersed, their location now in some old run down mansion, the room he was in with Phoenix seemed to be one of luxury, with the the frilly curtains, sheets on the bed, and the abundance of pink on the walls. Or, that was how it had looked in the past, now the pink paint on the walls was chipping, and seemed more red than pink, the covers were dusty, and the frills had straightened out, and the rat holes in walls made the room look like a piece of Swiss cheese.

Nevertheless, the sun-loved demon before him shrugged the vest from his shoulders, exposing his taut stomach muscles that would've made Ren drool in any other situation, the beautiful soft light of the room reflecting off of his bronze skin. He pushed Ren down on the bed, climbing on top of the brunette as he settled himself between the slender legs, pressing his weight down on the squirming boy.

"Now, it's been so long. Your body has changed, but I still long for your warmth." He littered Ren's neck with soft bites and kisses. "Yes...your so soft" Phoenix purred, his white hair framing his beautiful face, and a few stray strands tickling Ren's neck.

Balling his fist, Ren gathered his strength and punched Phoenix in the nose, throwing the white haired assailant from his body. Phoenix gathered himself from the ground seeming to be stunned, a small trickle of blood escaping his injured nose. "I see..." His crimson eyes became dangerously narrow. "We'll have to do this the hard way..."

Phoenix wouldn't mind though. He did enjoy the "hard way." His erection strained in his tight leather pants as he pounced again on the younger Seer.


*********************************************************************************************************

A/N Time! First, and foremost. I realize that this chapter is NOTHING like the preview I put in the last one. Very good reason for this, actually. I wrote it like I had written the preview, and among proofreading, realized it to be very shallow, and setting a pace for the story I didn't like very much (i.e. Ren and Kyrios having a lot of sex) I like Ren and Kyrios having a lot of sex, don't get me wrong, but if that's all it is, I fear that I'll lose readers, I love you guys too much to lose you. So! I introduced a new character who's going to serve as the villain if not for the next couple of chapters, then the rest of the story.

I kinda made Phoenix sexy (I adore white hair on tan skin) because to me, a beautiful villain is a much more compelling one (relatable to Asura in my other story, Knight) Also, for anyone confused about Phoenix calling Ren "lover" refer back to chapter two. It's a lot later, I know, but I think I explain there that Ren is a reincarnation of a past Seer, so that's what Phoenix's calling Ren a lover is all about. Even so, next chapter will have a better explanation. Anyways, that said, on to my thank yous. Thanks to all who read, rated, and enjoyed, and special thanks to littleolme (I was missin' you), LadyRyann and KatFO(special, special thanks to you, whose been consistent.) I appreciate all feedback. Anyways, on too the preview (Which I promise the next chapter will follow!)

Preview: Phoenix tries desperately to gain Ren's love, who only continues to try to get away. Though, Ren quickly learns an angry Phoenix leaves bruises on his body. Kyrios gears up to go against Phoenix, and get Ren back.
