Chapter X “Way Over Board”
Yataro was sitting on the empty bed that night in their room. His arms wrapped around his pillow as he wallowed in his sadness. Kyoshiro was asleep alone in the other bed that he had been kicked out of. He tried to reason with him, but Kyoshiro was giving him the silent treatment.
He half sobbed and fell onto his side staring at Kyo’s back through the darkness. He hated it when Kyoshiro was mad at him. It made him feel so lonely and unwanted. He sighed and stuck his pillow under his head and tried to fall asleep, but couldn’t with his mind racing with the events that had just played through. He got kidnapped and Kyo ended up getting raped. He still could hear his screams and his cries as that man forced himself on his lover. And they made his skin crawl and his stomach turn. Both of them would be recovering for a good while from that one. He just hoped that they could recover from this fight easier.
He whined again and he covered his head with his blanket.
“Damn it would you quit whining!?” yelled Kyo turning over.
Yataro flinched and he peeked out at him.
“Sorry.” He muttered softly.
Kyo shook his head and he lay back down and closed his eyes. Yataro stared at his face which wasn’t as lax as it should be if he were sleeping. He saw his brow slowly furrow and he gritted his teeth and opened his eyes.
“Stop…staring at me and go to sleep.” He growled at him.
He ducked his head and closed his eyes. Kyo sighed and he rolled his eyes.
“You know what Yataro, if you’re gonna be a baby why don’t you go sleep some where else?” he told him outright turning back over.
Yataro sat up, “But Kyo-kun…”
“Go, I don’t want to see you!” he yelled at him with out turning.
His voice bit into him like a bullet and stung his heart. He tried not to cry as he grabbed his pillow and he left the room. He closed the door behind him when he lost it and he started sobbing. He sunk down to the floor and buried his face in his hands. He should have known better than to think that Kyo would still love him after finding out he was such a freak. He had always been his perfect little boy toy and now he was just an animal in his eyes. He heard a door open, but didn’t look up. He felt some one looking down at him and he finally looked up and he saw Darius standing in a pair of pajama pants and shirtless before him.
“What’s wrong with you?” he asked him scratching his head with a small yawn.
He sniffled, “Kyoshiro…is…gonna…break up…with me!”
Darius snorted as he started bawling again. He sighed and he reached down and grabbed his arm and yanked him up.
“He’s not going to break up with you. He’s just pissed off because you lied to him.” He told him folding his arms.
“No it’s different!” he told him and he wiped his eyes on the back of his arm, “He’s so mad at me right now. I mean we have two freakin’ beds in there and he kicked me out of the room because I was bothering him because I couldn’t sleep. I’ve lied to him before and he’s found out, but he never acted like this before.”
“…do you need a place to sleep?” he reluctantly asked him.
“Just leave me in the hall.” He replied pathetically plopping down on the floor again.
Darius rolled his eyes and he grabbed his arms and pulled him to his feet, “Come on, get off the floor kitty boy.”
He kind of pushed him to his room and Yataro just plopped down in a chair and he sniffled again. Darius got him a tissue and some water. He blew his nose and drank the water.
“Now…even if you lied to him before, I don’t think it was any where as close to being as extreme as you being half cat.” Said Darius sitting on his bed and lighting a cigarette.
“I know that’s what scares me. What if he thinks I’m some sort of freak, or an animal?”
“You are an animal.” Was Darius’ half-ass reply.
“That’s not the point!” Yataro yelled at him, “The point is he found out and now he’s gonna dump me because I’m weird!”
Darius stared at him for a little while before he said, “You don’t know any of these men do you?”
Yataro sighed with exasperation and he sat back and looked at the ceiling.
“How did you and Kyo meet any way?” asked Darius lying on his side taking another drag off his cigarette.
Yataro glanced at him and then back at the ceiling, “We…met on the internet.”
Darius busted out laughing, “You went go meet a man you met over the internet at your age! What kind of pea brained idiot are you!?”
“Oh shut up. I told him I was over eighteen, but when we met I couldn’t exactly hide it. Kyoshiro was actually everything he put into his profile, but he was really pissed when he saw me. Especially after all of the stuff he had told me during our chats, but I was serious.” He told him folding his arms with a small huff.
“Well…what did he do after he found out?” asked Darius.
“He went back home, but I followed him. He told me to back off at the building and I didn’t and just followed him up to the condo. He slammed the door in my face and I just waited a little while and then I knocked and Suichi answered the door. I told him I was there to see Kyo and he let me in. I went to the living room and saw everyone else there and Kyo-kun drinking again. He looked at me and screamed at me. ‘Why the hell do you keep following me!? I’ve had enough of you, take a hint and leave!’ I just looked at him and said…’You promised when we met you’d take me out.’ He just sighed and rubbed his face while everyone else laughed, I’m sure he was embarrassed because then came the little kid jokes.
“He finally took me out to the landing and he told me he wasn’t going to date someone as young as me. I asked him for a reason why since I was of age and he couldn’t give me one except…the universal one. He told me he was a hooker finally and he just said you wanna date that?”
“What did you say?”
“Fuck yeah !”
Darius snorted and Yataro sighed, “That actually made him laugh and smile. I told him he liked me for what I told him in my emails about me and those were me, I was just…younger than I had said. And I didn’t care what he was as long as the stuff he told me was true. Then he hugged me and then he kissed my cheek and gave me his number and told me to call him tomorrow night around six so we could go on our date. And we did and the rest is history…and it looks like it’ll remain that way.”
Darius sighed, “Come on Yataro don’t go down like that. You weren’t gonna go down when he was ready to turn you down. You followed him like a bad smell.”
Yataro gave him a shrewd look and Darius chuckled.
“If you want your man you have to take him back. Grow some balls man, go in there and talk to him. Tell him that even if you are…a cat that doesn’t change anything about you.”Darius told him and he sighed and scratched his head.
“But what if he…”
“No! No buts! If you’re gonna lose him don’t lose him without a fight!” he yelled at him and he stood and walked over to Yataro and he stood him up and pushed him to the door, “Wake his ass up, tell him what you need to tell him and make things better! Now go!”
He gave him another push and threw his pillow at him. Yataro snorted and he left and he walked to his and Kyo’s room and he slipped inside and he found Kyo awake sitting up in his bed with his arms around a pillow. He shot a look at him and Yataro swallowed, but strengthened his resolve.
“Kyo…we have to talk.” He tried to say strongly like a man.
Kyo sighed, “Yataro…”
“No wait, let me rephrase that!” this was it, “It’s time for me to talk and for you to shut up and listen!”
Kyo looked at him a little shocked by his abrasiveness, but his face went very passive.
“Ok…talk.”
“…I know I lied Kyo and I’m sorry, but you obviously think this is weird and freaky or you wouldn’t be so mad and that’s what I was afraid of! That you’d think I was some kind of freak and never give me the light of day again. As of being a tiny gay boy with blue hair wasn’t bad enough, let’s just add cat boy to the equation too!” he told him all kind of fast and panicky, “But just because I’m a werecat, doesn’t make me any different than I ever was before. Like when… when we finally met and you never told me you were a whore. I was fine with that. I didn’t care you were the same man I always thought you were. And the doctor thing was cool, but you lied to me then too and I didn’t get mad. But now you’re kicking me out of a huge room with two beds because you don’t want to see my face…you must… really…hate me for this.”
Yataro looked away from Kyo trying not to cry again. Kyo looked him over and he sighed.
“I don’t hate you Yataro. I could never hate you.” He told him and Yataro whined.
“Then why are you being so mean to me!?” he kind of squeaked looking at him and Kyo chuckled.
“Rape trauma.”
Yataro sighed and he rubbed his face, “Yeah…”
“I’m, just…mad and frustrated right now Yataro. A lot has happened since we’ve been on this ship, just one big surprise after another. If you have anything else you aren’t telling me then please, just throw it at me before anything else happens!” he told him and Yataro rubbed his arm.
Kyo called him over with his finger and he walked over and he sat next to him and Kyo wrapped his arms around him.
“We’ve been going out…what is it…seven months in a few days. No more secrets for either of us ok?”
Yataro nodded and leaned his head against his shoulder, “Ok.”
“I’m sorry I was so mean to you, I didn’t mean to hurt you.”
“It’s ok Kyo-kun. As long as we both forgive each other.” Yataro muttered and Kyo sighed and he fell back and kissed him.
“I actually couldn’t sleep without you I got so used to you being there next to me.” Kyo told him and Yataro giggled.
“Aw, Kyo-kun.” He said and he nuzzled his neck and kissed him, “You’re so sweet.”
“…And the cat thing was so friggen adorable!” Kyo kind of squealed and he rubbed his head and Yataro giggled, “You know after you ravaged my attackers. Like a little yaoi kitty boy.”
Yataro smiled widely and hugged Kyo.
“I’m glad we aren’t fighting anymore.”
“Me too…you suddenly marching in here like a big man.”
“It was a brief moment.”
“Good I don’t want you turning into a bear on me.” He told him and Yataro gagged.
“Ew no!”
Kyo laughed and he rolled over and he tickled his sides and he started laughing.
“You gonna turn into a big sweaty guy with hair everywhere like your brother!? Huh!?”
“Hahahaha! No! No! Agh…you’re so gross! Oh God stop! Hahaha…!” he screamed with mirth rolling around on the bed.
Darius was listening at the door and he shook his head and walked off onto the deck with a yawned. He went in his human form this time around. He lit up a cigarette and went to the stern of the ship and looked out to the sea and the moon light reflecting on the water. Everyone had someone tonight, but him. Even Kumiko was banging a waiter. While some where his lover and his prince was probably being sexually or physically tortured. Even if it was brief that they knew one another…he wished he could feel his spirit again. He looked down as the water oddly calmed. He frowned and shook his head and he put out his cigarette.
He sat with his legs hanging through the bars of the rail and he picked up a seashell from the anchor rope and he looked at it. It was a blue and gray spiral shell oddly enough. He looked inside and there was a hermit crab that was still alive. He took it and he tossed it into the ocean. The water rippled and he blinked hard something rose from the sea. A small bubble of moon lit water rose from it dripping with sparkling water rose up. He slowly stood and he blinked in awe as it slowly floated over to him. He hesitated and he lifted his hand and it landed in it. From it he heard Toya’s voice.
“Darius…upon land fall, all of you wait at the shore of Ulsan after moon rise. I will send and apparition. Do not fail.” Said the bubble and then it popped and water fell into his hand.
He looked at the water and the sea lost its calm and began to ripple again. He scrambled away and ran down below deck.
Soon Darius was sitting with a bunch of half asleep and half naked people in the lounge.
“Ok, what’s the big deal that we had to get out of bed?” asked Suichi yawning.
“Toya sent me an apparition.” He told him.
Kumiko looked surprised, “Well that’s a good sign. He has enough strength to send one without dying.”
“It was small…like a bubble.”
“…I take it back.”
“But he told us to wait for another apparition when we reach land. He’ll send us one at moon rise at the shore of Ulsan. He should be able to tell else exactly where he is.” He finished.
Suichi sighed, “It’s a lot better than just go to Asia and look around… what’s an apparition?”
“Kind of like an astral projection.” Replied Kumiko, “He’s going to send a copy of himself to us for a brief moment. He needs some kind of path for it so he’s probably going to use the moon trail in the water like he did tonight I’m assuming.”
Darius nodded.
“Well land fall is in about four days so let’s just pray that he can keep his strength up until then.” Said Rukia, “A lot can happen in four days especially if they find him in a trance sending these projections. He’ll be in a vulnerable state…they may even mistake him as dead.”
“What…mistake him as dead?” said Shane incredulously.
Rukia nodded, “When the body is ready for an astral projection or an apparition the soul literally leaves the body and wanders. This causes the body to go into kind of a…hibernation. Breathing almost stops, so does the heart, body temperature goes down…so if you ever see me like that make sure I am dead before you let them do the autopsy.”
“Were you two sleeping together?”
Kyo suddenly said this to Suichi and Rukia.
“…Huh?” was Suichi’s reply.
Kyo sighed and pointed to them, “You two were sleeping together.”
“…Why would you say that?” asked Suichi.
“Uh strawberries.” He replied and Suichi frowned and Rukia snorted.
“My strawberry lotion remember?”
He sighed, “I hate your lotion.”
“You guys slept together!?” exclaimed Yataro indignantly.
The both answered back, “No!”
“We slept in the same bed.” Added Rukia and Suichi sighed.
“…Ok what’s going on I thought you were going out with Toya.” Said Kaito.
Darius growled, “Toya is mine.”
“Huh?” said Shane dumbly.
“Toya told me in that letter he sent me that…something weird happened with Darius and him and I should forget about him.” Replied Suichi.
Kumiko was the first to laugh, “He over took your spirit didn’t he?”
Rukia giggled, “He did?”
“…Fine he did, but what the hell else do you expect from an Adarias?” he asked and Kumiko sighed.
“I guess you do have a point. Toya may be small in body…but that kid can kick some ass.”
“How strong is his power?” asked Gen with a long yawn.
Kumiko snorted and lit up a cigarette, “The Adarias blood line is the and I mean ‘The’ most powerful blood line of seers there is. Basically because of inbreeding. But Toya’s father…the emperor could destroy the mortal world on his own with no help. Just a thought from that man can take down and entire city and bury it under ground. He’s the kind of guy whose glare could make your head explode.”
“…Are you serious?” muttered Yataro.
“That’s right cat boy. It’s a good thing the man is wiser than the majority of humans otherwise this entire realm would have been ravaged the day that Toya was kidnapped from his family. But they must have seen something that restrained them and sent Darius out now because of these chains of events.” She finished and let out a puff of smoke.
“…So…if Toya is that powerful then…why didn’t he just kill the guys who nabbed him!?” asked Shane incredulously.
Rukia sighed, “One of two things either he sucks with his training like I do…or he’s foreseen something that requires him to suffer.”
“Require him to suffer?” muttered Kyo, “Why would his suffering change anything?”
“Kyo…I didn’t come back wounded every time I left your guys’ apartment because I’m careless or weak…it happens because I know it will and it’s just something I have to tolerate to meet a better end. Maybe they know something or have something and he is biding his time. He’s on the inside…he could be plotting anything. He went out that day knowing he would be captured and he let it happen knowing the kind of hell he’d go through.” She replied, “We don’t really know why we’re asked to do these things, but when we know the outcome we don’t care.”
“That’s…ridiculously sad and extremely overly considerate…no wonder you aren’t human.” Muttered Suichi and Rukia snorted and leaned back against him.
“Yeah, seers are awesome. Ok…shore upon landfall wait for night. Logged away in my memory I’m going to bed.” She said and she smacked Suichi’s thigh.
“…I still can’t believe you two…” muttered Kyo.
“Yes, we know you’re pissed about the jokes Kyo, but you of all people know the feeling…not let me rephrase that. Yataro you know what it feels like to go after a man way older than you and then just get tossed bullshit about your age like you’re a small child.” She said and he chuckled.
“And how, sister. I remember when me and Kyo first met for our first date he was so pissed just because I was eighteen I had to follow him home.” He replied.
“…I’m twenty eight meeting someone over the internet I was half expecting some overweight gay bastard who looked nothing like his pictures.” Said Kyo defensively.
Yataro giggled, “Yeah, I know. I half expected to get raped.”
“Ok I’m taking my profile off of the internet.” Muttered Shane, “Night.”
They all eventually went to bed and Yataro flopped back on the bed and sighed. Kyo laid down next to him.
“…Did you really feel that bad about our age difference?” asked Kyo.
“The difference didn’t bother me at all Kyo. I mean I knew you were older, but I can’t handle other guys my age they’re so…immature, vindictive and all they want to do is use me and dump me. I wanted someone your age, but I knew someone as…mature as you would hardly want someone my age because of well…all the same reasons I didn’t want one. I know I’m all…you know manipulative and cute, but I wanted me a smart, smooth and sassy man like I got now.” He told him and rolled over smiling at him.
Kyo chuckled and he rolled onto his side and kissed him, “Smart, smooth and sassy huh?”
“Uh huh. The three S’s. What am I?” he asked him.
“You are adorable, coy and sweet as hell and I’m glad you badgered me into our first date when we met.” He told him, “And you are so sexy…and the cat thing is so sexy…I wish I wasn’t so bloodied up so we could have make-up sex.”
Yataro chuckled and he nuzzled his ear and ran his tongue along the edge and Kyo let out a small whimper and pushed him back.
“…I’ll be right back.” Yataro purred into his ear and he got up and he went into the bathroom.
Kyo kind of grinned wondering what he was going to do, but knowing Yataro it was going to be something pleasurable. He folded his arms behind his head and waited…and waited…he waited at least ten minutes.
“What are you doing in there!?” Kyo yelled after him.
“Just be patient Kyo-kun!” he replied through the door.
Kyo chuckled and he yawned and rubbed his face. The door snicked open and Kyo kind of sat up as Yataro walked out. He had changed half way like he was before. Ears, tail, eyes, claws and fangs and even his side burns were growing onto his face showing he was actually a red head under the blue and the black stripes. Not only that, but he had on a cat collar with a bell and he was completely naked.
“…Oh…that is so sexy…” muttered Kyoshiro getting hard at just the sight.
He licked his lips and Yataro grinned and he folded his hands behind his back and he kind of twisted from side to side, “You really think so?” he asked cutely and Kyo chuckled.
“Oh so very sexy. Come here.” He told him leaning forward and Yataro giggled and he crawled onto the bed with his tail in the air.
Kyo kissed him and ran his fingers through his hair.
“You’re a red head?” he asked and Yataro giggled and nodded.
“I am an…orange and black cat. I got stripes like a tiger only…tiny like a kitty.” He told him and he kissed him again and nuzzled his neck affectionately like a cat.
Kyo bit his lip as he started purring like one and Yataro pushed him back gently on the bed. Kyo laid back and Yataro kissed him and he licked his cheek lightly before he went down and he kissed his neck and gave that a loving lick as well. He pushed Kyo’s shirt up and he ran his tongue over one of his nipples and Kyo gasped when he felt his tongue get rough like a cat’s as well. He did it again and Kyo clenched his fists because it felt so good it almost hurt. Yataro ran his tongue down his stomach and he slipped down his pajama pants and he started licking through the fabric of his blue briefs.
Kyo watched him and let his eyes travel up to his ass where his tail was gently swaying back and forth. He blinked seeing a spot of orange with black stripes along the base of his spine going to his ass and fading up his back. Yataro slipped his hands up his sides and he slid them down and caught the edge of his underwear with his claws and pulled them down to his knees with his pajama pants. His dick was pointing up from Yataro’s persistent licks through the fabric of his underwear. Yataro added one for good measure right along his dick making Kyo shiver.
He wrapped his hand around Kyoshiro big cock and he pulled it down and ran his tongue over the tip. Kyo gasped and he grasped the sheets under him. His tongue felt like wet, soft sand paper as he continued to run it along the tip of his cock like a cat lapping at milk. Yataro slipped him into his mouth as far as he could get him and started sucking. Kyo let out a soft moan and he rolled his head back and he slipped his fingers into Yataro’s hair passing his hands over his ears. Yataro gave him a hard suck and he whimpered as he started moving his head up and down on him alternating between sucks and licks of his rough little tongue. Kyo writhed slowly on the bed as Yataro brought to him a whole new sensation he had never felt before which was a first.
“Oh fuck…oh…” he breathed out sensually, “God…so good…oh… Taro-kun…yes…so…good.”
He swallowed hard and he let out a hard whimper as Yataro started moving faster. Kyo threw his head back as he added humming to the equation and he writhed again on the bed and started panting.
“Oh…God you’re gonna kill me!” he choked out gripping his hair, “Fuck…oh fuck!”
Yataro pulled his head up and he started circling his tongue along the tip as Yataro stroked his shaft at a rapid pace. Kyo let out a cry and he bit into his knuckles. His face was red as beads of perspiration started to form on his brow and roll down his cheeks. He whimpered again and he gripped the bed sheets with his other hand shuddering as he did. Yataro went faster with his hand keeping up his eager licks.
“Oh Yataro…Taro-kun…Taro-kun…shit! Yes! That’s it! Yes! Yes!!” he cried out and he arched his back off of the bed as he came hard into Yataro’s mouth.
His body shuddered as he whined and his orgasm rang through his body like a thousand bells. He slowly sunk off and he fell back on the bed panting. Yataro tried to swallow the enormous load in his mouth, but Kyo’s cum still leaked out from the corner of his mouth. He wiped off his mouth on the back of his hand and sat up.
“How was that?” he asked with a small smile.
Kyo rubbed his face and looked at him and he kind of chuckled, “…That…was the best blow job I have ever gotten in my life…hell it might be the best orgasm I’ve had in my life.” He told him.
Yataro giggled pleased with himself and he lay down next to Kyoshiro on his stomach. Kyo rolled onto his side and he wrapped his arms around him and kissed him. He laid back and smiled at him and he ran his fingers over his ears and he fingered one and Yataro giggled and swatted his hand away.
“…This is just amazing.” He muttered looking him over again and he grabbed his tail making Yataro jump nearly three inches off of the bed.
Yataro went very red, “P…please don’t do that my tail is very sensitive.”
“…Oh really?” muttered Kyo deviously and Yataro swallowed.
He grabbed the base of his tail and he jumped again and Kyo ran his hand all the way down it making Yataro grasp the mattress with his claws and grit his teeth. His body shuddered as he went all the way down with his ears laying flat to the side on his head.
“K…Kyo please…don’t…ah…”
He did it again and Yataro whimpered closing his eyes and ducking his head as he continued to keep doing it. Goose bumps sprouted along his entire body and he pressed his forehead into the bed as Kyo did it again and he threw his head with a loud cry that actually turned into a yowl as he came right there on the bed. Kyoshiro was a little impressed to say the least as Yataro lay there panting. Kyoshiro giggled and Yataro glared at him and he hit him over the head.
“Don’t do that damn it! It hurts!” he yelled at him.
“…It hurts and you came?” he asked confused and then he grinned, “You’re a masochist!”
“I am not!”
“Oh Taro-kun my little S&M kitty!”
Yataro growled at him when he grabbed him and scratched his ears and kissed the top of his head. Kyo just lay back with him and he scratched his ears. Yataro sighed and just lay with his head on his chest.
Soon Kyo had Yataro curled up next to him like a cat. He was purring as he slept with Kyo languidly scratching his ears and the end of his tail flicking every now and again. Kyo looked down at him…how could he stay mad at this kid? He never could even before he found out about the cat thing. And he could never imagine ever leaving him.
* * *
Suichi woke up the next morning and he reached up to rub his face, but his arm was caught. He looked down and he saw Rukia still laying in it. He kind of wondered if the whole thing was a dream or not, but here was his proof. He kind of smiled and he slipped his arm out from under her without waking her and he stood out of the bed the best he could and went to the bathroom. After he finished using the bathroom he washed his face and he shaved before he went to the kitchen area and found her in his T-shirt again drinking coffee and this time he was able to appreciate how sexy she looked in his shirts.
“Morning big guy.” She said with a smile.
“Morning. Did I wake you?” he asked her grabbing some coffee himself.
She yawned and nodded, “You suck at getting out of that bed for a gymnast.”
“Yeah, yeah we didn’t have a water bed section in the course.” He replied and she chuckled.
“Ok so no more thugs, four days until land fall…what do we do today?” she asked him.
“…I say we go on our first date…I’ve never been on one.” He replied and she thought and she nodded.
“I could go for a date too.” She told him, “You know they’re having a gala dinner on the top deck tonight. The warm front is supposed to be passing soon so let’s take advantage of the warm night air.”
He nodded, “I couldn’t agree more.”
They heard a gagging noise at the door. It was Darius in dog form.
“Could you two be more disgustingly corny?” he asked.
“…How’s about you get punted into the ocean?” asked Suichi, “What are you doing in here?”
“Being nosy.” He replied sniffing around, “Toya’s been sending me messages via telepathy. He wants to know if you two are having sex… doesn’t smell like sex in here.”
“Get out!” yelled Suichi pointing to the door.
“Oh chill out Suichi.” Said Rukia, “He probably wants food too.”
“Well…if you wouldn’t mind.” He kind of hinted and Rukia snorted and went to the fridge and he took his human form.
Rukia sighed and she grabbed some eggs and turned on the stove, “What’s your surname Darius?”
“Alizandro.” He replied with a yawn.
She nodded, “You’re Dion’s kid aren’t you?”
He sighed and nodded, “Unfortunately.”
“Unfortunately?” she said bemused, “I thought he was a nice guy.”
“Well ya weren’t his kid were you? He was executed when I was nineteen.” He told her sitting at the bar.
She gave him a cup of coffee and he sniffed it. She put the milk and the sugar next to him and he shrugged and added some of each and he stirred it and sipped it.
“…Hmm this is interesting what is this?” he asked her.
“It’s coffee, you’ve never had coffee?” asked Suichi.
“Nope, I’m just getting used to human food.” He replied and he drank some more.
Rukia frowned, “…They have the same food on the other side.”
He chose not to say anything else. Rukia served him some breakfast and he ate it with zeal. Suichi shook his head and finished his coffee as Rukia handed him a plate as well.
After mooching off some food Darius left and he walked down the hall with his arms folded behind his head. Yataro slipped out of his room with a yawn and back to his old self.
“Morning Darius.” He said with a big smiled.
“Well you’re happy. And I can tell why you reek of lust.” He told him and Yataro giggled.
Yataro walked with him, “You were right, it worked.”
“Obviously or you wouldn’t be this happy.” Said Darius with a small snort.
“Oh it gets better…he loves the cat thing actually.”
Darius chuckled, “Well what Japanese gay guy doesn’t want his own half cat boy? I doubted he’d less than adore it after he got over the lie thing.”
Yataro giggled and he jumped on Darius’ back and Darius picked him up as they went to the arcade below deck to blow whatever cash they had on them.
“Ok, time for another DDR lesson.” He told him jumping off and going to the machine.
Darius groaned, “Come on Yataro not again.”
“What? What’s wrong with Dance Dance Revolution?” he asked leaning against the dance bar.
“It’s just…so…queer!” he finally said.
Yataro rolled his eyes, “You are queer I don’t care how butch you are. Now come on. Toya loves this game.”
“Really?”
He nodded, “He’s the only other person who can beat me. Come on.”
Darius sighed as he dragged him onto the machine and Yataro put in some yen and he selected a song before they started playing, Darius was just kind of moving his feet trying not to look stupid, but Yataro didn’t give half a shit as he danced on the machine moving his feet as fast as the speed on the game permitted and shaking his ass. Darius looked to the side at him as he pushed him and then started doing the caramel dance. Darius kind of laughed and Yataro grabbed his hands and tried to make him do it. Darius shook his head and he damned it and started doing the caramel dance. They got a few on lookers especially girls who were giggling and taking pictures.
The song ended and they jumped off.
“Now wasn’t that fun?” asked Yataro and he snorted and kind of nodded.
“Ok so it was fun…doesn’t mean it wasn’t the gayest thing I have ever done.” He replied.
Yataro laughed, “No my friend the gayest thing you have ever done is have sex with another man.”
“Good point.”
“Let’s hit mortal combat!”
Darius raced him to the machine.
Kyo passed by the arcade with Shane and looked in and saw Yataro and Darius battling each other. He kind of chuckled and kept walking.
“I hate that guy.” He muttered with a small smile.
Shane giggled, “Jealous are we Kyo? They’re friends and nothing more. If you ask me it’s about time Yataro got a friend that wasn’t you or one of us.”
Kyo sighed, “I guess you’re right…but why does it have to be a huge, twenty three year old guy!?”
“Jesus Kyo if he was into those kind of guys…well no offense he wouldn’t be dating you. Besides Darius and Toya are like…soul… fuck buddies or whatever the hell they are.” He replied waving his hand.
“…Ok, but if he touches him I’m suturing his dick so his stomach.” He said and Shane busted out laughing.
They went to the recreation room and they both jumped back as a tan guy shot a shuffle board puck at them and he and his friends had a nice chuckle. Shane laughed very loudly making them shut up and stare at him. He shoved it back with foot and they walked and Kyo kind of giggled.
“Stupid breeders polluting the human race with their mutated inbred genes.” Said Shane making Kyo laugh.
They picked up the puck and threw it at him. Shane turned and he caught it like a Frisbee. He looked it over. They looked up as he grinned and he threw it up in the air and he drew a gun and shot four holes through it before it hit the ground. He blew on his gun and stuck it in the waist band of his pants while the men who threw it looked like they were gonna wet themselves. Shane winked and they went across the room.
“That…was fuckin’…awesome.” Said Kyo and Shane laughed smugly and patted him on the back.
“I only know one kid who could make dat shot.”
They stopped and looked back as a man in a sharp dinner jacket moved a chess piece. He was playing alone, perfecting his strategy as he knocked over another piece. He was a man in his twenties with straight black hair pulled back into a rat tail with a few strands of hair falling onto his olive tan face over his stern blue eyes.
Dezi Lucciano
Age: 26
Height: 5ft. 9in
Build: Muscular, lean
Hair color: Black
Eye color: Blue
Ethnicity: Italian-American
Sexual Standing: Bisexual
Shane eyed him for a moment before he smiled.
“Holy shit…Dezi?” he asked and the man laughed.
“It took ya long enough.” He said getting up and Shane gave him a one armed hug and stepped back.
Shane shook his head, “Dez…man I haven’t seen you in years, what the hell are you doing here?”
“Well I found out from your old man that you got sent to Japan and I says to myself…hey I got paid vacation let’s go visit the old queer bait and I couldn’t find ya for nothin’. But low and behold…I see ya kickin’ ass and takin’ names when we got hijacked…I knew it had to be you. I knew it and dere ya are.” He told him and Shane rolled his eyes.
“You call me queer bait being my ex?” he asked.
Dezi chuckled, “You know ya love it. Who is dis?”
“Oh this is my friend Kyoshiro Kurata. We met when I got to Japan and he’s one of my roommates.” He replied.
Dezi frowned, “One of dem?”
“Yeah…I…got in the biz in Japan…got into some trouble…wound up in a cat house.” He replied reluctantly.
Dezi’s jaw dropped, “…You roomed with a bunch of whores?”
“…I was a whore you moron!” Shane exclaimed and rolled his eyes.
“Holy shit man…dat sucks.” He said and Kyo kind of giggled, “Well you obviously aren’t one no more takin’ a cruise.”
“No, but now I’m on the run from them too. They took one of our friends to Asia and we’re going after him.” He told him and they sat at a table.
“Close friend?”
They both nodded, “His name is Toya and they want him for a reason and we have to get him back through any means.” Said Kyo.
He traced his lips with his fingers which Kyo found a little odd, “Well…if you want info on the yakuza I could get it for you.” He told them.
Kyo frowned, “The…yakuza?”
Shane nodded, “That’s the official name for the Japanese mafia. The yakuza…what do you know about them Dez?”
“I know dey ripped me off big time at one of dem gambling houses. Fair game my ass.” He muttered, “All of the mafias have a connection somewhere it’s all a matter of finding it.”
Kyo snorted, “You’re in the mafia…what do you do?”
“Dezi is a hacker actually.” Shane said, “He looks like he could put up one hell of a fight…”
“Oh come on man don’t…” stared Dezi.
“But Dez is just a little puss when it comes to fighting.” He finished and Dezi whined and pushed him making Shane laugh, “The first time he shot a gun he dropped it and ran away.”
“Ok enough!” yelled Dezi and Shane stuck his tongue out at him and wrinkled his nose.
Dezi rolled his eyes with a grinned and he pushed his face back.
“I’ll leave you two to catch up.” Said Kyo and he got up and he walked off.
Kyo went to the door and he ran into Gensai.
“Hey…Shane around?” he muttered carefully.
Kyo shook his head, “Relax he ran into his ex-boyfriend and they’re catching up.”
“Well that’s good at least someone else can distract him did you say ex-boyfriend?” He said trailing straight from one thought to another.
Kyo nodded, “Yep, looks like a mobster too…and he’s cute and young.”
Gen looked into the rec room and he saw Shane sitting next to him at the table and Gen snorted.
“Please…he’s not even that cute.” He said.
Kyo grinned slyly, “Oh…oh are you jealous Gen?”
“No!” he shot back and Kyo laughed.
“You are such a liar. Why don’t you go spy on them…who knows maybe they’ll strike up an old flame.” He told him and he winked and walked off.
Gen growled and he left the rec room and he went up deck and he sat down next to the pool. He leaned with his chin in his hand and he started tapping his fingers on the table. He sighed and took out some of his drawing paper and he tried to work on the new issue of his manga. He started to get into it when Shane and his old friend walk out onto the deck in their bathing suits. Gen’s jaw dropped when he saw Dezi in a Speedo which actually looked very good on him with his ripped tan body. He gripped his pencil as Dezi tried to push Shane in and Shane grabbed him and they tried to wrestle each other into the pool. They both fell in and Shane came up and jumped on Dezi’s back.
Gen narrowed his eyes and his pencil snapped in his hand. Shane saw him and waved.
“Hey Gen-chan! Go change and come into the pool!” he yelled at him and Gen gave him a cheeky smile and flipped him off.
Gen grabbed his stuff and he went back below deck.
“Huh? What was that about?” mused Shane.
“Who was that?” asked Dezi under Shane.
Shane giggled, “He’s one of the son’s of the head of the yakuza. His name is Gensai and I’m trying to tag him.”
Dezi snorted, “He had jealousy written all over dat face. News flash Shane, the best way to win a new boyfriend isn’t jumping on an old one.”
Shane thought for a second and he grinned catching an idea from Kyo, Yataro and Darius.
“Or is it the perfect way?” asked Shane coyly.
“…You little rat…I’m so insulted.” Said Dezi in mock hurt and he threw him off.
Shane got up and pushed his hair back with a grin.
“Like you expected much else from me.”
Dezi splashed him and they broke into a splash fight before Dezi jumped on him and dunked him under the water and Shane dragged him down.
Meanwhile Gen was on the captain’s deck watching with malice in his eyes. If his look could kill, Dezi would have drowned.
“Hello spy.”
He jumped and looked to the side as Kyo seemed to pop up.
“What’s this now…watching your little boy toy fondling some other guy?” he asked with a wide grin.
“He’s not my boy toy and he’s not fondling him…” he did a double take just to make sure.
Kyo laughed, “Oh Gen…face facts…you may act like Shane annoys the piss out of you, but then again…so did Suichi with your sister and now they’re quite cozy.”
He folded his arms and Gen rolled his eyes.
“You’re so obnoxious. Why are you checking up on me anyway? Don’t you have anything better to do?” he asked bitterly.
“Not much with these rape wounds. The most I’ve done today is try and fail three times to take a shit.” He replied.
Gen rolled his eyes to him and Kyo giggled, “…That’s disgusting Kyoshiro.”
Kyoshiro gave him a cheeky grin. Darius suddenly ran out on the deck below and Yataro jetted after him and he tackled him into the water. Kyo chuckled.
“And what you’re fine with Darius water wrestling with your taken boy toy?” asked Gen insolently.
Kyo rolled his eyes, “My boyfriend is an eighteen year old. I expect him to play with other boys your boy toy on the other hand is much older than you and is with an old toy himself. Just think about it Gen…the man in the water with Shane…has been inside of him. Touched him…heard him moan.” Said Kyo leaning into him.
Gen growled and pushed him away and he walked off. Kyo licked the tip of his finger and drew an imaginary line in the air.
“I love manipulating people.” He sighed and looked back down at Darius and Yataro.
Gen walked down through the hall kind of pissed off right then. He didn’t care if Shane got back together with his old boyfriend. He didn’t. He probably would continue to annoy him even if he did. Gen snorted and he was gonna prove he didn’t care. He went to his room and he found some swim trunks and he changed and he went down to the pool. He got some looks from the ladies as he got into the pool and he started swimming laps. Shane and Dezi jumped up onto the side of the pool.
“Well someone is trying now.” Sad Dezi and Shane giggled.
“Come on.”
They got up and they grabbed their towels and left the pool. Gen finished his lap and he came up and looked around. He saw them walking off and he went red in the face scowled at their backs. He muttered angrily to himself and he did more laps in the pool just to vent some of his anger.
That night Suichi was in the bathroom wearing some good clothes…or at least the nicest hooker clothes he had. He was dressed up in a wine red button down and a black dinner jacket with some black slacks and leather boots. He ran his fingers through his hair with some gel and he combed it so the front was sticking up a little and he sighed. He grabbed some of the complimentary cologne and he sprayed some on before he left the bathroom. He took a quick drink from the bar before he left the room and he went out to the ball room deck.
There were a lot of couples here dressed in fancy clothes. Some of them dancing to the bands, others at tables enjoying a chat and some fine wine while others were sampling the delectable gourmet snacks from the tables and mingling with one another.
“Looking good handsome.” He heard Rukia say as she latched onto his arm.
He looked down at her and he smiled a little in awe. He had no idea where she got it, but she was dressed in a black, strapless evening gown. It contoured to her curves and split right down the middle of her breasts so she was showing cleavage. Her long dark hair was swept up in a curly bun with two curls trailing in front of her ears. On her feet she wore stilettos and an anklet and on her arms were long black satin gloves and her neck sported a diamond necklace. Her face was made up oh so sexy with a pale, porcelain looking foundation and a dark red color over her eyes.
“Wow…your look…gorgeous.” He said and she smiled and kissed his cheek and then wiped off of her dark lipstick that she left on his cheek.
“Thank you. Come on let’s go get some food and some wine.” He nodded and he took her arm and they went over to the food table.
Rukia picked out her food and proved to be the same older her under it as she loaded her plate like it was an all you could eat buffet. They went sit down and Suichi chuckled as she stabbed her fork into a meatball and stuck it in her mouth without disturbing her lipstick.
“Only girl here who can eat like that and still fit into a dress that size.” He told her and she giggled.
“I know I was blessed with the metabolism of a seven year old.” She said and she sipped her wine, “What did you do all day?”
“Tried to figure out what to do on this date without making an ass of myself.” He replied and leaned back.
She laughed, “If you haven’t made an ass of yourself yet there is no way you can achieve that on one date…oh looky there. Shane’s got himself a beau.”
They looked up as Shane walked in, in a sharp looking, sexy dinner jacket over a black sweater and a set of black leather pants with Dezi on his arm in a nice black and silver pinstripe suit with a pale pink shirt underneath.
“Well, well about time.” Said Suichi, “Your brother doesn’t look to happy.”
Gen was already stationed in a corner drinking alone watching them. Rukia shook her head and set down her glass.
“Oh he has been following those two ever since they met up this afternoon. If he were anymore jealous his hair would turn fuckin’ green.” She told him, “He’s had his nose buried in his manga, but I keep seeing him angry as shit…I’m afraid he’s gonna kill one of his characters to vent his anger.”
Suichi chuckled, “Oh no your brother is gonna kill a fictional person let’s notify the FBI.”
She gave him a sardonic look and he gave her a wide grin making her giggle.
Kyo was dancing with Yataro on the floor.
“I looked like a fuckin’ Fall Out Boy.” Muttered Yataro.
“Oh you look handsome Taro-kun.” said Kyo with a small smile, “I’m glad I could find you a nice suit to wear.”
“Where did you get this?” he asked him as they turned.
“Kumiko stole it.” He replied and Yataro’s jaw dropped.
Kyo giggled and he swept him around as Eichi and Kaito passed them on the dance floor.
“You know I’ve never danced with a man before.” Said Kaito.
Eichi grinned, “I’m glad I was your first.”
“Hmm, was it good for you?” asked Kaito and Eichi chuckled.
“Oh like when we make love…I am just getting started.” Replied Eichi and he lifted his hand and snapped his fingers twice.
The band switched to the tango and Kaito laughed as he swung him into the dance and Kaito played his misses in the dance. He dipped him and Kaito swung his hair back and around. They had a lot of onlookers most of them either laughing or admiring them though they didn’t go without a few sneers. Kumiko had her hands on the waiter boy again as he danced with her. They marched right past them and Eichi and Kaito looked at each other and they both laughed and shook their heads.
After a while they switched songs before Yataro left and he came back dragging Darius in a suit and he looked very uncomfortable. Kyo grabbed him as well and Yataro pushed him. Kyo swung him onto the dance floor and Darius went red in the face as Kyo danced with him.
“Come on Darius never danced before?” he asked as he led him.
“No I haven’t.” he said kind of embarrassed.
Kyo nodded, “First time for everything. You know Toya is a great dancer.”
“…He is?” he asked him.
“Yes he is…granted a lot of it is stage and dirty dancing, but Toya can do a sexy salsa.” He replied and Darius snorted.
“I seem to be learning more about him with him gone.” He said.
Kyo frowned, “You didn’t know Toya that well?”
“Not…really no it was kind of a freak accident what happened between us. The most I know about him is his blood line…and he is really good in bed.” He told Kyo.
He giggled, “Yeah Toya always made the most money out of us. Oh well when we find him I’m sure you’ll have plenty of time to get to know him.”
“And if I don’t find him I’m looking at a painful death.”
“…Death?”
“I was sent here to protect him and I already failed. If I don’t get him back I am as good as dead. And sense his spirit dominated mine…I’ll die as soon as he does.” He replied shocking Kyoshiro.
“Wow…that’s insane…you’ll really die?”
Darius nodded, “If he should suffer one fate I shall suffer the same.”
The song ended and Darius rubbed the back of his head.
“Uh thanks for the dance.” He said and then he walked off to a table.
Yataro joined Kyoshiro who sighed.
“There’s something very sad about him…” muttered Kyoshiro, “…he knows everything I don’t, but it’s like…I know everything he doesn’t too.”
“That’s weird…I mean I know what you’re talking about. It like he doesn’t know much about being human. He clearly likes being a dog more.” Agreed Yataro.
They both shrugged and they went get some food. Shane and Dezi sat down with some food from the bar and a couple of beers.
“…Dat guy is starting to piss me off. Da last time someone stared at me like dat I ended up shot.” Said Dezi eyeing Gen in the corner.
Shane shook his head, “He’s not gonna shoot you. I’m just waiting for him to snap. I know he will.”
“…Normally I’d be mad dat you’re using me…but even I gotta agree dat is one hot Asian…it’s not true is it?” he asked him.
“…What’s not true?” asked Shane confused.
Dezi snorted and leaned in, “You know…about Asian’s…da size?”
“Oh…oh!” Shane giggled and shook his head, “…I’ll be honest most of the guys I’ve had to deal with…I wasn’t too upset about the sex other than it wasn’t even a little satisfying. But there are a good few…like Suichi and Kaito and Kyo…you know what all my friends have big dicks. It’s that simple.” He said and Dezi snickered.
He glanced at Gen and then back, “Catch a glimpse of Gen?”
“No, not yet at least…but I got the 411 from Rukia and if I can trust anyone to grade guys it’s her.” He said and they both snickered to each other.
They ate half of their food and had a couple of beers.
“Now…care to dance.” Dezi asked Shane.
“Really?”asked Shane kind of surprised and he eyed him, “What’s the catch?”
“Heh, I’m getting’ you laid. I bet it’d stick right ion his craw if he saw you dancin’ with me.” He told him with a sly grin.
“…I always loved your devious mind.”
Dezi chuckled and he took his hand and went onto the dance floor with him. Gen’s eyes widened as they started slow dancing and Gen put his arm around Shane’s waist. His eyes blazed as his wine glass shattered in his hand and he clenched his already bleeding hand around the glass. He stood and he left the ball room.
Shane sighed, “God he is such a stubborn jack ass! If he gets much more pissed off he’s gonna explode.”
“…Don’t get me beaten up ok, remember you said it yourself…I’m a puss when it comes to fights.” Said Dezi and Shane patted his shoulder.
“Don’t worry he won’t beat you.” Said Shane.
“…Why did we break up?” Dezi said asking the first serious thing all night.
Shane gave him a shrewd look, “Connie Delvecio.”
“…Oh yeah…I slept with her…it sucked.” He said remembering.
Shane rolled his eyes, “I’m glad it was worth the most devastating moment of my twenty year old life.”
They went sit down and Shane finished his beer and looked at the door and he sighed.
“I’m gonna go find him.” He told Dezi and he nodded.
Shane got up and he went out and he looked for him in his room and only found his suit crumpled up on the floor. He sighed and he picked it up hating messes and he hung it up. He left and he went to the top deck. It was deserted except for Gen who was sitting at the railing with his legs hanging over the side of the ship. He was back in his old clothes and he had his manga stuff next to him. It was windy and Shane stopped for a moment as Gen’s hair blew into his face and around it and he didn’t do anything against it. Shane smiled because he looked so gorgeous staring out onto the light blue horizon against the dark night sky as the sun sunk below the sea with the wind in his hair and the dark look on his face.
Shane walked over to him and Gen glanced up and then he stared back out.
“What?” he asked evenly.
“…You’re hand ok?” he asked him.
Gen lifted his hand which was wrapped and he sighed and let it drop, “Just fine.”
Shane sat next to him on the deck and stared out. His hair didn’t move because of his gel, but he looked back at Gen.
“You’re mad at me.” He said.
Gen sighed, “I’m not mad.”
“Oh…that is such bull! Damn it Gen would you make up your fuckin’ mind!? Do you hate me or do you like me!? Because I’m starting to wonder if you just don’t want me to be happy because I annoy you!” Shane yelled at him.
Gen glanced at him and Shane shook his head and he stood.
Gen groaned, “I don’t hate you ok!? I don’t!”
Shane looked down at him and Gen pushed his hair out of his face and off to one side.
“I don’t know why it pisses me off, but it does…the little bitch is lucky I didn’t cross the room and punch him!” he finally said and Shane laughed.
“Oh shut up I know you were doing it on purpose and you know what that really sucks Shane! That was a really dick move!” he stood and glared at Shane who blinked at him.
“…I’m…sorry.” Said Shane.
“Sorry…sorry isn’t fuckin’ good enough, you just love pissing me off, can’t you give it a fuckin’ break!” he screamed at him and Shane stepped back from him when he realized he was drunk.
“Gen calm down.” He told him and Gen slammed fist on the rail.
“Don’t tell me to fuckin’ calm down you little whop!” he screamed and Shane’s jaw dropped.
“…Did you just call me a whop!?” Shane screamed back and Gen walked up to him.
“Yes…I called you…a fuckin’…guinea loving, loud mouthed, ignorant whop!” he returned and he pushed Shane and his foot slipped on the wet deck.
Gen yelled as he fell back and hit the rail and flipped over it. Shane dove and he caught his hand and got yanked off and clung to the rail. He grunted and pulled Gen up and he reached and grabbed the rail, but his bag fell into the water.
“No, my manuscripts!” he yelled looking down.
Shane looked up and then down again. He dropped into the water and plunged into the frigid depths. He yelled under water as his leg was snagged by something hard. He came up with a gasp and he gritted his teeth and he swam over to the bag. Gen pulled himself up and looked down.
“Shane!!!”
Shane grabbed the bag and he swam back to the ship trying not to get swallowed by the rocking waves created by the wind. Gen grabbed a rope from the wall of the cabin and he threw it over and kept an end. Shane was down by a foot and he kept grabbing at it as a wave brought him up. Gen reached down further and Shane grabbed the rope and caught it and Gen pulled him up. He got him to the deck and he grabbed him and pulled him up. Shane rolled onto the deck and he coughed and gasped shivering from the cold water.
“What is wrong with you?” breathed Gen trying to catch his breath.
Shane looked up at him and he gave him a hard right hook to the face and he fell back.
“You’re such an asshole Gensai!” he choked out and he stood and threw his wet bag at him and he limped off angrily leaning Gen on the deck.
Shane ended up down in the infirmary wrapped in a blanket as a doctor looked at his leg which got bloodied up.
“Looks like…” he yanked out a piece of something and Shane yelled behind his lips, “Coral.”
The doctor showed him and Shane took the bloody coral.
“…I hate the ocean.” He muttered and he sniffled and sneezed.
A nurse stuck a thermometer under his tongue and he sighed. Gensai walked in with a nice black eye coming in. He looked at Shane wrapped in a blanket and his cut up leg.
“Are…you ok?” he asked and Shane flipped him off.
The nurse took out the thermometer.
“One hundred.” She announced and he groaned and fell back.
Gensai winced and he rubbed the back of his head and he looked back and Shane and he bit his lip.
Gensai hung up his drawings on a line he put up through his room. A kettle whistled on a hot plate and he went over and he took it off and poured some hot water into a tea cup. He stirred around a tea bag in it and he added a little sugar. He picked it up and blew on it before he went and sat on his bed.
“Here.”
He handed the cup to Shane who was sitting on his bed with a bandaged leg and in a kimono. Shane sipped his tea and he sighed.
“…I really…am so sorry about what I said and about what I called you.” Said Gen.
Shane sighed, “…Well that’s a start…You’re lucky I’m not a whop or I would have given you a Peruvian neck tie.” He told him.
Gen frowned, “What’s that?”
Shane snorted, “That’s when I slit your throat and pull your tongue through the hole.”
“…O…oh.” Said Gen and Shane snickered.
“Sobering up?” he asked and Gen nodded.
“Very…badly.” He replied and looked up at him and he flinched when Shane sneezed and spilt his tea all over him.
Shane groaned and he fell back against the head board. Gen took his cup and he went get a towel. He returned and Shane took it and cleaned himself up.
“…I know…they’re important to me, but…why the hell did you dive into water in the middle of winter to get some drawings?” Gen asked finally voicing his confusion.
Shane shrugged, “Because they’re important to you and I know that.”
Gen nodded and he stood, “I’m gonna go into the bathroom and swallow everything in the medicine cabinet now.”
Shane giggled, “Oh come on Gen-chan.”
“Shane…I just…I can’t tell you how bad I feel for what I said. I was just so pissed…to see you with…that ignorant talking pretty boy!” he exclaimed.
“Now, now he’s my ex Gen, I broke up with him for a reason granted, but he is still my friend.” He told him.
“…Why did you?”
“He slept with this bitch from our high school. Luckily it wasn’t worth it for him so his loss.” He told him and he yawned and shivered.
Gen felt his forehead and Shane kind of smiled. Gen got up and he went get him some medicine for his fever.
Shane muttered to himself, “Bad consequences, but it worked like a charm.”
Gen came back and he took the medicine and Shane fell to the side on his bed with a heavy sighed and he closed his eyes.
“I feel…so crappy…this stuff always happens to me. I am the biggest klutz I know.” He muttered.
Gen sat down, “You can’t be that bad.”
“Yeah, ever since I was a kid I was a klutz. The first time I shot a gun…I hit a car seven miles away. And it all went downhill from there.” He told Gen half asleep.
Gen blinked at him, “Hey you can’t…”
But Shane had already fallen asleep. Gen sighed and he ran his fingers through his hair. He shook his head and he went and turned off the lights at the door before he went over to Shane. He looked down at him and he shook his head and covered him up. He went to the bathroom and he brushed his teeth and he went back and got into the other bed and he too fell asleep.
To be continued…
---------------------------------------------
Rosetta Moon: Ok so it's been a while, you try writing ten stories at once. Any way give me reviews and don't make comments about my lateness or no more story for you! I decided to add a little more cute into the mix since it is yaoi. So here a new twist for the next chapter...you vote on your favorite character in the entire story, post it in a review and in the next chapter I'll put a sex scene of him or her. I promise it will be tasteful, organic to the plot and hot as fuck. ;)
He half sobbed and fell onto his side staring at Kyo’s back through the darkness. He hated it when Kyoshiro was mad at him. It made him feel so lonely and unwanted. He sighed and stuck his pillow under his head and tried to fall asleep, but couldn’t with his mind racing with the events that had just played through. He got kidnapped and Kyo ended up getting raped. He still could hear his screams and his cries as that man forced himself on his lover. And they made his skin crawl and his stomach turn. Both of them would be recovering for a good while from that one. He just hoped that they could recover from this fight easier.
He whined again and he covered his head with his blanket.
“Damn it would you quit whining!?” yelled Kyo turning over.
Yataro flinched and he peeked out at him.
“Sorry.” He muttered softly.
Kyo shook his head and he lay back down and closed his eyes. Yataro stared at his face which wasn’t as lax as it should be if he were sleeping. He saw his brow slowly furrow and he gritted his teeth and opened his eyes.
“Stop…staring at me and go to sleep.” He growled at him.
He ducked his head and closed his eyes. Kyo sighed and he rolled his eyes.
“You know what Yataro, if you’re gonna be a baby why don’t you go sleep some where else?” he told him outright turning back over.
Yataro sat up, “But Kyo-kun…”
“Go, I don’t want to see you!” he yelled at him with out turning.
His voice bit into him like a bullet and stung his heart. He tried not to cry as he grabbed his pillow and he left the room. He closed the door behind him when he lost it and he started sobbing. He sunk down to the floor and buried his face in his hands. He should have known better than to think that Kyo would still love him after finding out he was such a freak. He had always been his perfect little boy toy and now he was just an animal in his eyes. He heard a door open, but didn’t look up. He felt some one looking down at him and he finally looked up and he saw Darius standing in a pair of pajama pants and shirtless before him.
“What’s wrong with you?” he asked him scratching his head with a small yawn.
He sniffled, “Kyoshiro…is…gonna…break up…with me!”
Darius snorted as he started bawling again. He sighed and he reached down and grabbed his arm and yanked him up.
“He’s not going to break up with you. He’s just pissed off because you lied to him.” He told him folding his arms.
“No it’s different!” he told him and he wiped his eyes on the back of his arm, “He’s so mad at me right now. I mean we have two freakin’ beds in there and he kicked me out of the room because I was bothering him because I couldn’t sleep. I’ve lied to him before and he’s found out, but he never acted like this before.”
“…do you need a place to sleep?” he reluctantly asked him.
“Just leave me in the hall.” He replied pathetically plopping down on the floor again.
Darius rolled his eyes and he grabbed his arms and pulled him to his feet, “Come on, get off the floor kitty boy.”
He kind of pushed him to his room and Yataro just plopped down in a chair and he sniffled again. Darius got him a tissue and some water. He blew his nose and drank the water.
“Now…even if you lied to him before, I don’t think it was any where as close to being as extreme as you being half cat.” Said Darius sitting on his bed and lighting a cigarette.
“I know that’s what scares me. What if he thinks I’m some sort of freak, or an animal?”
“You are an animal.” Was Darius’ half-ass reply.
“That’s not the point!” Yataro yelled at him, “The point is he found out and now he’s gonna dump me because I’m weird!”
Darius stared at him for a little while before he said, “You don’t know any of these men do you?”
Yataro sighed with exasperation and he sat back and looked at the ceiling.
“How did you and Kyo meet any way?” asked Darius lying on his side taking another drag off his cigarette.
Yataro glanced at him and then back at the ceiling, “We…met on the internet.”
Darius busted out laughing, “You went go meet a man you met over the internet at your age! What kind of pea brained idiot are you!?”
“Oh shut up. I told him I was over eighteen, but when we met I couldn’t exactly hide it. Kyoshiro was actually everything he put into his profile, but he was really pissed when he saw me. Especially after all of the stuff he had told me during our chats, but I was serious.” He told him folding his arms with a small huff.
“Well…what did he do after he found out?” asked Darius.
“He went back home, but I followed him. He told me to back off at the building and I didn’t and just followed him up to the condo. He slammed the door in my face and I just waited a little while and then I knocked and Suichi answered the door. I told him I was there to see Kyo and he let me in. I went to the living room and saw everyone else there and Kyo-kun drinking again. He looked at me and screamed at me. ‘Why the hell do you keep following me!? I’ve had enough of you, take a hint and leave!’ I just looked at him and said…’You promised when we met you’d take me out.’ He just sighed and rubbed his face while everyone else laughed, I’m sure he was embarrassed because then came the little kid jokes.
“He finally took me out to the landing and he told me he wasn’t going to date someone as young as me. I asked him for a reason why since I was of age and he couldn’t give me one except…the universal one. He told me he was a hooker finally and he just said you wanna date that?”
“What did you say?”
“Fuck yeah !”
Darius snorted and Yataro sighed, “That actually made him laugh and smile. I told him he liked me for what I told him in my emails about me and those were me, I was just…younger than I had said. And I didn’t care what he was as long as the stuff he told me was true. Then he hugged me and then he kissed my cheek and gave me his number and told me to call him tomorrow night around six so we could go on our date. And we did and the rest is history…and it looks like it’ll remain that way.”
Darius sighed, “Come on Yataro don’t go down like that. You weren’t gonna go down when he was ready to turn you down. You followed him like a bad smell.”
Yataro gave him a shrewd look and Darius chuckled.
“If you want your man you have to take him back. Grow some balls man, go in there and talk to him. Tell him that even if you are…a cat that doesn’t change anything about you.”Darius told him and he sighed and scratched his head.
“But what if he…”
“No! No buts! If you’re gonna lose him don’t lose him without a fight!” he yelled at him and he stood and walked over to Yataro and he stood him up and pushed him to the door, “Wake his ass up, tell him what you need to tell him and make things better! Now go!”
He gave him another push and threw his pillow at him. Yataro snorted and he left and he walked to his and Kyo’s room and he slipped inside and he found Kyo awake sitting up in his bed with his arms around a pillow. He shot a look at him and Yataro swallowed, but strengthened his resolve.
“Kyo…we have to talk.” He tried to say strongly like a man.
Kyo sighed, “Yataro…”
“No wait, let me rephrase that!” this was it, “It’s time for me to talk and for you to shut up and listen!”
Kyo looked at him a little shocked by his abrasiveness, but his face went very passive.
“Ok…talk.”
“…I know I lied Kyo and I’m sorry, but you obviously think this is weird and freaky or you wouldn’t be so mad and that’s what I was afraid of! That you’d think I was some kind of freak and never give me the light of day again. As of being a tiny gay boy with blue hair wasn’t bad enough, let’s just add cat boy to the equation too!” he told him all kind of fast and panicky, “But just because I’m a werecat, doesn’t make me any different than I ever was before. Like when… when we finally met and you never told me you were a whore. I was fine with that. I didn’t care you were the same man I always thought you were. And the doctor thing was cool, but you lied to me then too and I didn’t get mad. But now you’re kicking me out of a huge room with two beds because you don’t want to see my face…you must… really…hate me for this.”
Yataro looked away from Kyo trying not to cry again. Kyo looked him over and he sighed.
“I don’t hate you Yataro. I could never hate you.” He told him and Yataro whined.
“Then why are you being so mean to me!?” he kind of squeaked looking at him and Kyo chuckled.
“Rape trauma.”
Yataro sighed and he rubbed his face, “Yeah…”
“I’m, just…mad and frustrated right now Yataro. A lot has happened since we’ve been on this ship, just one big surprise after another. If you have anything else you aren’t telling me then please, just throw it at me before anything else happens!” he told him and Yataro rubbed his arm.
Kyo called him over with his finger and he walked over and he sat next to him and Kyo wrapped his arms around him.
“We’ve been going out…what is it…seven months in a few days. No more secrets for either of us ok?”
Yataro nodded and leaned his head against his shoulder, “Ok.”
“I’m sorry I was so mean to you, I didn’t mean to hurt you.”
“It’s ok Kyo-kun. As long as we both forgive each other.” Yataro muttered and Kyo sighed and he fell back and kissed him.
“I actually couldn’t sleep without you I got so used to you being there next to me.” Kyo told him and Yataro giggled.
“Aw, Kyo-kun.” He said and he nuzzled his neck and kissed him, “You’re so sweet.”
“…And the cat thing was so friggen adorable!” Kyo kind of squealed and he rubbed his head and Yataro giggled, “You know after you ravaged my attackers. Like a little yaoi kitty boy.”
Yataro smiled widely and hugged Kyo.
“I’m glad we aren’t fighting anymore.”
“Me too…you suddenly marching in here like a big man.”
“It was a brief moment.”
“Good I don’t want you turning into a bear on me.” He told him and Yataro gagged.
“Ew no!”
Kyo laughed and he rolled over and he tickled his sides and he started laughing.
“You gonna turn into a big sweaty guy with hair everywhere like your brother!? Huh!?”
“Hahahaha! No! No! Agh…you’re so gross! Oh God stop! Hahaha…!” he screamed with mirth rolling around on the bed.
Darius was listening at the door and he shook his head and walked off onto the deck with a yawned. He went in his human form this time around. He lit up a cigarette and went to the stern of the ship and looked out to the sea and the moon light reflecting on the water. Everyone had someone tonight, but him. Even Kumiko was banging a waiter. While some where his lover and his prince was probably being sexually or physically tortured. Even if it was brief that they knew one another…he wished he could feel his spirit again. He looked down as the water oddly calmed. He frowned and shook his head and he put out his cigarette.
He sat with his legs hanging through the bars of the rail and he picked up a seashell from the anchor rope and he looked at it. It was a blue and gray spiral shell oddly enough. He looked inside and there was a hermit crab that was still alive. He took it and he tossed it into the ocean. The water rippled and he blinked hard something rose from the sea. A small bubble of moon lit water rose from it dripping with sparkling water rose up. He slowly stood and he blinked in awe as it slowly floated over to him. He hesitated and he lifted his hand and it landed in it. From it he heard Toya’s voice.
“Darius…upon land fall, all of you wait at the shore of Ulsan after moon rise. I will send and apparition. Do not fail.” Said the bubble and then it popped and water fell into his hand.
He looked at the water and the sea lost its calm and began to ripple again. He scrambled away and ran down below deck.
Soon Darius was sitting with a bunch of half asleep and half naked people in the lounge.
“Ok, what’s the big deal that we had to get out of bed?” asked Suichi yawning.
“Toya sent me an apparition.” He told him.
Kumiko looked surprised, “Well that’s a good sign. He has enough strength to send one without dying.”
“It was small…like a bubble.”
“…I take it back.”
“But he told us to wait for another apparition when we reach land. He’ll send us one at moon rise at the shore of Ulsan. He should be able to tell else exactly where he is.” He finished.
Suichi sighed, “It’s a lot better than just go to Asia and look around… what’s an apparition?”
“Kind of like an astral projection.” Replied Kumiko, “He’s going to send a copy of himself to us for a brief moment. He needs some kind of path for it so he’s probably going to use the moon trail in the water like he did tonight I’m assuming.”
Darius nodded.
“Well land fall is in about four days so let’s just pray that he can keep his strength up until then.” Said Rukia, “A lot can happen in four days especially if they find him in a trance sending these projections. He’ll be in a vulnerable state…they may even mistake him as dead.”
“What…mistake him as dead?” said Shane incredulously.
Rukia nodded, “When the body is ready for an astral projection or an apparition the soul literally leaves the body and wanders. This causes the body to go into kind of a…hibernation. Breathing almost stops, so does the heart, body temperature goes down…so if you ever see me like that make sure I am dead before you let them do the autopsy.”
“Were you two sleeping together?”
Kyo suddenly said this to Suichi and Rukia.
“…Huh?” was Suichi’s reply.
Kyo sighed and pointed to them, “You two were sleeping together.”
“…Why would you say that?” asked Suichi.
“Uh strawberries.” He replied and Suichi frowned and Rukia snorted.
“My strawberry lotion remember?”
He sighed, “I hate your lotion.”
“You guys slept together!?” exclaimed Yataro indignantly.
The both answered back, “No!”
“We slept in the same bed.” Added Rukia and Suichi sighed.
“…Ok what’s going on I thought you were going out with Toya.” Said Kaito.
Darius growled, “Toya is mine.”
“Huh?” said Shane dumbly.
“Toya told me in that letter he sent me that…something weird happened with Darius and him and I should forget about him.” Replied Suichi.
Kumiko was the first to laugh, “He over took your spirit didn’t he?”
Rukia giggled, “He did?”
“…Fine he did, but what the hell else do you expect from an Adarias?” he asked and Kumiko sighed.
“I guess you do have a point. Toya may be small in body…but that kid can kick some ass.”
“How strong is his power?” asked Gen with a long yawn.
Kumiko snorted and lit up a cigarette, “The Adarias blood line is the and I mean ‘The’ most powerful blood line of seers there is. Basically because of inbreeding. But Toya’s father…the emperor could destroy the mortal world on his own with no help. Just a thought from that man can take down and entire city and bury it under ground. He’s the kind of guy whose glare could make your head explode.”
“…Are you serious?” muttered Yataro.
“That’s right cat boy. It’s a good thing the man is wiser than the majority of humans otherwise this entire realm would have been ravaged the day that Toya was kidnapped from his family. But they must have seen something that restrained them and sent Darius out now because of these chains of events.” She finished and let out a puff of smoke.
“…So…if Toya is that powerful then…why didn’t he just kill the guys who nabbed him!?” asked Shane incredulously.
Rukia sighed, “One of two things either he sucks with his training like I do…or he’s foreseen something that requires him to suffer.”
“Require him to suffer?” muttered Kyo, “Why would his suffering change anything?”
“Kyo…I didn’t come back wounded every time I left your guys’ apartment because I’m careless or weak…it happens because I know it will and it’s just something I have to tolerate to meet a better end. Maybe they know something or have something and he is biding his time. He’s on the inside…he could be plotting anything. He went out that day knowing he would be captured and he let it happen knowing the kind of hell he’d go through.” She replied, “We don’t really know why we’re asked to do these things, but when we know the outcome we don’t care.”
“That’s…ridiculously sad and extremely overly considerate…no wonder you aren’t human.” Muttered Suichi and Rukia snorted and leaned back against him.
“Yeah, seers are awesome. Ok…shore upon landfall wait for night. Logged away in my memory I’m going to bed.” She said and she smacked Suichi’s thigh.
“…I still can’t believe you two…” muttered Kyo.
“Yes, we know you’re pissed about the jokes Kyo, but you of all people know the feeling…not let me rephrase that. Yataro you know what it feels like to go after a man way older than you and then just get tossed bullshit about your age like you’re a small child.” She said and he chuckled.
“And how, sister. I remember when me and Kyo first met for our first date he was so pissed just because I was eighteen I had to follow him home.” He replied.
“…I’m twenty eight meeting someone over the internet I was half expecting some overweight gay bastard who looked nothing like his pictures.” Said Kyo defensively.
Yataro giggled, “Yeah, I know. I half expected to get raped.”
“Ok I’m taking my profile off of the internet.” Muttered Shane, “Night.”
They all eventually went to bed and Yataro flopped back on the bed and sighed. Kyo laid down next to him.
“…Did you really feel that bad about our age difference?” asked Kyo.
“The difference didn’t bother me at all Kyo. I mean I knew you were older, but I can’t handle other guys my age they’re so…immature, vindictive and all they want to do is use me and dump me. I wanted someone your age, but I knew someone as…mature as you would hardly want someone my age because of well…all the same reasons I didn’t want one. I know I’m all…you know manipulative and cute, but I wanted me a smart, smooth and sassy man like I got now.” He told him and rolled over smiling at him.
Kyo chuckled and he rolled onto his side and kissed him, “Smart, smooth and sassy huh?”
“Uh huh. The three S’s. What am I?” he asked him.
“You are adorable, coy and sweet as hell and I’m glad you badgered me into our first date when we met.” He told him, “And you are so sexy…and the cat thing is so sexy…I wish I wasn’t so bloodied up so we could have make-up sex.”
Yataro chuckled and he nuzzled his ear and ran his tongue along the edge and Kyo let out a small whimper and pushed him back.
“…I’ll be right back.” Yataro purred into his ear and he got up and he went into the bathroom.
Kyo kind of grinned wondering what he was going to do, but knowing Yataro it was going to be something pleasurable. He folded his arms behind his head and waited…and waited…he waited at least ten minutes.
“What are you doing in there!?” Kyo yelled after him.
“Just be patient Kyo-kun!” he replied through the door.
Kyo chuckled and he yawned and rubbed his face. The door snicked open and Kyo kind of sat up as Yataro walked out. He had changed half way like he was before. Ears, tail, eyes, claws and fangs and even his side burns were growing onto his face showing he was actually a red head under the blue and the black stripes. Not only that, but he had on a cat collar with a bell and he was completely naked.
“…Oh…that is so sexy…” muttered Kyoshiro getting hard at just the sight.
He licked his lips and Yataro grinned and he folded his hands behind his back and he kind of twisted from side to side, “You really think so?” he asked cutely and Kyo chuckled.
“Oh so very sexy. Come here.” He told him leaning forward and Yataro giggled and he crawled onto the bed with his tail in the air.
Kyo kissed him and ran his fingers through his hair.
“You’re a red head?” he asked and Yataro giggled and nodded.
“I am an…orange and black cat. I got stripes like a tiger only…tiny like a kitty.” He told him and he kissed him again and nuzzled his neck affectionately like a cat.
Kyo bit his lip as he started purring like one and Yataro pushed him back gently on the bed. Kyo laid back and Yataro kissed him and he licked his cheek lightly before he went down and he kissed his neck and gave that a loving lick as well. He pushed Kyo’s shirt up and he ran his tongue over one of his nipples and Kyo gasped when he felt his tongue get rough like a cat’s as well. He did it again and Kyo clenched his fists because it felt so good it almost hurt. Yataro ran his tongue down his stomach and he slipped down his pajama pants and he started licking through the fabric of his blue briefs.
Kyo watched him and let his eyes travel up to his ass where his tail was gently swaying back and forth. He blinked seeing a spot of orange with black stripes along the base of his spine going to his ass and fading up his back. Yataro slipped his hands up his sides and he slid them down and caught the edge of his underwear with his claws and pulled them down to his knees with his pajama pants. His dick was pointing up from Yataro’s persistent licks through the fabric of his underwear. Yataro added one for good measure right along his dick making Kyo shiver.
He wrapped his hand around Kyoshiro big cock and he pulled it down and ran his tongue over the tip. Kyo gasped and he grasped the sheets under him. His tongue felt like wet, soft sand paper as he continued to run it along the tip of his cock like a cat lapping at milk. Yataro slipped him into his mouth as far as he could get him and started sucking. Kyo let out a soft moan and he rolled his head back and he slipped his fingers into Yataro’s hair passing his hands over his ears. Yataro gave him a hard suck and he whimpered as he started moving his head up and down on him alternating between sucks and licks of his rough little tongue. Kyo writhed slowly on the bed as Yataro brought to him a whole new sensation he had never felt before which was a first.
“Oh fuck…oh…” he breathed out sensually, “God…so good…oh… Taro-kun…yes…so…good.”
He swallowed hard and he let out a hard whimper as Yataro started moving faster. Kyo threw his head back as he added humming to the equation and he writhed again on the bed and started panting.
“Oh…God you’re gonna kill me!” he choked out gripping his hair, “Fuck…oh fuck!”
Yataro pulled his head up and he started circling his tongue along the tip as Yataro stroked his shaft at a rapid pace. Kyo let out a cry and he bit into his knuckles. His face was red as beads of perspiration started to form on his brow and roll down his cheeks. He whimpered again and he gripped the bed sheets with his other hand shuddering as he did. Yataro went faster with his hand keeping up his eager licks.
“Oh Yataro…Taro-kun…Taro-kun…shit! Yes! That’s it! Yes! Yes!!” he cried out and he arched his back off of the bed as he came hard into Yataro’s mouth.
His body shuddered as he whined and his orgasm rang through his body like a thousand bells. He slowly sunk off and he fell back on the bed panting. Yataro tried to swallow the enormous load in his mouth, but Kyo’s cum still leaked out from the corner of his mouth. He wiped off his mouth on the back of his hand and sat up.
“How was that?” he asked with a small smile.
Kyo rubbed his face and looked at him and he kind of chuckled, “…That…was the best blow job I have ever gotten in my life…hell it might be the best orgasm I’ve had in my life.” He told him.
Yataro giggled pleased with himself and he lay down next to Kyoshiro on his stomach. Kyo rolled onto his side and he wrapped his arms around him and kissed him. He laid back and smiled at him and he ran his fingers over his ears and he fingered one and Yataro giggled and swatted his hand away.
“…This is just amazing.” He muttered looking him over again and he grabbed his tail making Yataro jump nearly three inches off of the bed.
Yataro went very red, “P…please don’t do that my tail is very sensitive.”
“…Oh really?” muttered Kyo deviously and Yataro swallowed.
He grabbed the base of his tail and he jumped again and Kyo ran his hand all the way down it making Yataro grasp the mattress with his claws and grit his teeth. His body shuddered as he went all the way down with his ears laying flat to the side on his head.
“K…Kyo please…don’t…ah…”
He did it again and Yataro whimpered closing his eyes and ducking his head as he continued to keep doing it. Goose bumps sprouted along his entire body and he pressed his forehead into the bed as Kyo did it again and he threw his head with a loud cry that actually turned into a yowl as he came right there on the bed. Kyoshiro was a little impressed to say the least as Yataro lay there panting. Kyoshiro giggled and Yataro glared at him and he hit him over the head.
“Don’t do that damn it! It hurts!” he yelled at him.
“…It hurts and you came?” he asked confused and then he grinned, “You’re a masochist!”
“I am not!”
“Oh Taro-kun my little S&M kitty!”
Yataro growled at him when he grabbed him and scratched his ears and kissed the top of his head. Kyo just lay back with him and he scratched his ears. Yataro sighed and just lay with his head on his chest.
Soon Kyo had Yataro curled up next to him like a cat. He was purring as he slept with Kyo languidly scratching his ears and the end of his tail flicking every now and again. Kyo looked down at him…how could he stay mad at this kid? He never could even before he found out about the cat thing. And he could never imagine ever leaving him.
* * *
Suichi woke up the next morning and he reached up to rub his face, but his arm was caught. He looked down and he saw Rukia still laying in it. He kind of wondered if the whole thing was a dream or not, but here was his proof. He kind of smiled and he slipped his arm out from under her without waking her and he stood out of the bed the best he could and went to the bathroom. After he finished using the bathroom he washed his face and he shaved before he went to the kitchen area and found her in his T-shirt again drinking coffee and this time he was able to appreciate how sexy she looked in his shirts.
“Morning big guy.” She said with a smile.
“Morning. Did I wake you?” he asked her grabbing some coffee himself.
She yawned and nodded, “You suck at getting out of that bed for a gymnast.”
“Yeah, yeah we didn’t have a water bed section in the course.” He replied and she chuckled.
“Ok so no more thugs, four days until land fall…what do we do today?” she asked him.
“…I say we go on our first date…I’ve never been on one.” He replied and she thought and she nodded.
“I could go for a date too.” She told him, “You know they’re having a gala dinner on the top deck tonight. The warm front is supposed to be passing soon so let’s take advantage of the warm night air.”
He nodded, “I couldn’t agree more.”
They heard a gagging noise at the door. It was Darius in dog form.
“Could you two be more disgustingly corny?” he asked.
“…How’s about you get punted into the ocean?” asked Suichi, “What are you doing in here?”
“Being nosy.” He replied sniffing around, “Toya’s been sending me messages via telepathy. He wants to know if you two are having sex… doesn’t smell like sex in here.”
“Get out!” yelled Suichi pointing to the door.
“Oh chill out Suichi.” Said Rukia, “He probably wants food too.”
“Well…if you wouldn’t mind.” He kind of hinted and Rukia snorted and went to the fridge and he took his human form.
Rukia sighed and she grabbed some eggs and turned on the stove, “What’s your surname Darius?”
“Alizandro.” He replied with a yawn.
She nodded, “You’re Dion’s kid aren’t you?”
He sighed and nodded, “Unfortunately.”
“Unfortunately?” she said bemused, “I thought he was a nice guy.”
“Well ya weren’t his kid were you? He was executed when I was nineteen.” He told her sitting at the bar.
She gave him a cup of coffee and he sniffed it. She put the milk and the sugar next to him and he shrugged and added some of each and he stirred it and sipped it.
“…Hmm this is interesting what is this?” he asked her.
“It’s coffee, you’ve never had coffee?” asked Suichi.
“Nope, I’m just getting used to human food.” He replied and he drank some more.
Rukia frowned, “…They have the same food on the other side.”
He chose not to say anything else. Rukia served him some breakfast and he ate it with zeal. Suichi shook his head and finished his coffee as Rukia handed him a plate as well.
After mooching off some food Darius left and he walked down the hall with his arms folded behind his head. Yataro slipped out of his room with a yawn and back to his old self.
“Morning Darius.” He said with a big smiled.
“Well you’re happy. And I can tell why you reek of lust.” He told him and Yataro giggled.
Yataro walked with him, “You were right, it worked.”
“Obviously or you wouldn’t be this happy.” Said Darius with a small snort.
“Oh it gets better…he loves the cat thing actually.”
Darius chuckled, “Well what Japanese gay guy doesn’t want his own half cat boy? I doubted he’d less than adore it after he got over the lie thing.”
Yataro giggled and he jumped on Darius’ back and Darius picked him up as they went to the arcade below deck to blow whatever cash they had on them.
“Ok, time for another DDR lesson.” He told him jumping off and going to the machine.
Darius groaned, “Come on Yataro not again.”
“What? What’s wrong with Dance Dance Revolution?” he asked leaning against the dance bar.
“It’s just…so…queer!” he finally said.
Yataro rolled his eyes, “You are queer I don’t care how butch you are. Now come on. Toya loves this game.”
“Really?”
He nodded, “He’s the only other person who can beat me. Come on.”
Darius sighed as he dragged him onto the machine and Yataro put in some yen and he selected a song before they started playing, Darius was just kind of moving his feet trying not to look stupid, but Yataro didn’t give half a shit as he danced on the machine moving his feet as fast as the speed on the game permitted and shaking his ass. Darius looked to the side at him as he pushed him and then started doing the caramel dance. Darius kind of laughed and Yataro grabbed his hands and tried to make him do it. Darius shook his head and he damned it and started doing the caramel dance. They got a few on lookers especially girls who were giggling and taking pictures.
The song ended and they jumped off.
“Now wasn’t that fun?” asked Yataro and he snorted and kind of nodded.
“Ok so it was fun…doesn’t mean it wasn’t the gayest thing I have ever done.” He replied.
Yataro laughed, “No my friend the gayest thing you have ever done is have sex with another man.”
“Good point.”
“Let’s hit mortal combat!”
Darius raced him to the machine.
Kyo passed by the arcade with Shane and looked in and saw Yataro and Darius battling each other. He kind of chuckled and kept walking.
“I hate that guy.” He muttered with a small smile.
Shane giggled, “Jealous are we Kyo? They’re friends and nothing more. If you ask me it’s about time Yataro got a friend that wasn’t you or one of us.”
Kyo sighed, “I guess you’re right…but why does it have to be a huge, twenty three year old guy!?”
“Jesus Kyo if he was into those kind of guys…well no offense he wouldn’t be dating you. Besides Darius and Toya are like…soul… fuck buddies or whatever the hell they are.” He replied waving his hand.
“…Ok, but if he touches him I’m suturing his dick so his stomach.” He said and Shane busted out laughing.
They went to the recreation room and they both jumped back as a tan guy shot a shuffle board puck at them and he and his friends had a nice chuckle. Shane laughed very loudly making them shut up and stare at him. He shoved it back with foot and they walked and Kyo kind of giggled.
“Stupid breeders polluting the human race with their mutated inbred genes.” Said Shane making Kyo laugh.
They picked up the puck and threw it at him. Shane turned and he caught it like a Frisbee. He looked it over. They looked up as he grinned and he threw it up in the air and he drew a gun and shot four holes through it before it hit the ground. He blew on his gun and stuck it in the waist band of his pants while the men who threw it looked like they were gonna wet themselves. Shane winked and they went across the room.
“That…was fuckin’…awesome.” Said Kyo and Shane laughed smugly and patted him on the back.
“I only know one kid who could make dat shot.”
They stopped and looked back as a man in a sharp dinner jacket moved a chess piece. He was playing alone, perfecting his strategy as he knocked over another piece. He was a man in his twenties with straight black hair pulled back into a rat tail with a few strands of hair falling onto his olive tan face over his stern blue eyes.
Dezi Lucciano
Age: 26
Height: 5ft. 9in
Build: Muscular, lean
Hair color: Black
Eye color: Blue
Ethnicity: Italian-American
Sexual Standing: Bisexual
Shane eyed him for a moment before he smiled.
“Holy shit…Dezi?” he asked and the man laughed.
“It took ya long enough.” He said getting up and Shane gave him a one armed hug and stepped back.
Shane shook his head, “Dez…man I haven’t seen you in years, what the hell are you doing here?”
“Well I found out from your old man that you got sent to Japan and I says to myself…hey I got paid vacation let’s go visit the old queer bait and I couldn’t find ya for nothin’. But low and behold…I see ya kickin’ ass and takin’ names when we got hijacked…I knew it had to be you. I knew it and dere ya are.” He told him and Shane rolled his eyes.
“You call me queer bait being my ex?” he asked.
Dezi chuckled, “You know ya love it. Who is dis?”
“Oh this is my friend Kyoshiro Kurata. We met when I got to Japan and he’s one of my roommates.” He replied.
Dezi frowned, “One of dem?”
“Yeah…I…got in the biz in Japan…got into some trouble…wound up in a cat house.” He replied reluctantly.
Dezi’s jaw dropped, “…You roomed with a bunch of whores?”
“…I was a whore you moron!” Shane exclaimed and rolled his eyes.
“Holy shit man…dat sucks.” He said and Kyo kind of giggled, “Well you obviously aren’t one no more takin’ a cruise.”
“No, but now I’m on the run from them too. They took one of our friends to Asia and we’re going after him.” He told him and they sat at a table.
“Close friend?”
They both nodded, “His name is Toya and they want him for a reason and we have to get him back through any means.” Said Kyo.
He traced his lips with his fingers which Kyo found a little odd, “Well…if you want info on the yakuza I could get it for you.” He told them.
Kyo frowned, “The…yakuza?”
Shane nodded, “That’s the official name for the Japanese mafia. The yakuza…what do you know about them Dez?”
“I know dey ripped me off big time at one of dem gambling houses. Fair game my ass.” He muttered, “All of the mafias have a connection somewhere it’s all a matter of finding it.”
Kyo snorted, “You’re in the mafia…what do you do?”
“Dezi is a hacker actually.” Shane said, “He looks like he could put up one hell of a fight…”
“Oh come on man don’t…” stared Dezi.
“But Dez is just a little puss when it comes to fighting.” He finished and Dezi whined and pushed him making Shane laugh, “The first time he shot a gun he dropped it and ran away.”
“Ok enough!” yelled Dezi and Shane stuck his tongue out at him and wrinkled his nose.
Dezi rolled his eyes with a grinned and he pushed his face back.
“I’ll leave you two to catch up.” Said Kyo and he got up and he walked off.
Kyo went to the door and he ran into Gensai.
“Hey…Shane around?” he muttered carefully.
Kyo shook his head, “Relax he ran into his ex-boyfriend and they’re catching up.”
“Well that’s good at least someone else can distract him did you say ex-boyfriend?” He said trailing straight from one thought to another.
Kyo nodded, “Yep, looks like a mobster too…and he’s cute and young.”
Gen looked into the rec room and he saw Shane sitting next to him at the table and Gen snorted.
“Please…he’s not even that cute.” He said.
Kyo grinned slyly, “Oh…oh are you jealous Gen?”
“No!” he shot back and Kyo laughed.
“You are such a liar. Why don’t you go spy on them…who knows maybe they’ll strike up an old flame.” He told him and he winked and walked off.
Gen growled and he left the rec room and he went up deck and he sat down next to the pool. He leaned with his chin in his hand and he started tapping his fingers on the table. He sighed and took out some of his drawing paper and he tried to work on the new issue of his manga. He started to get into it when Shane and his old friend walk out onto the deck in their bathing suits. Gen’s jaw dropped when he saw Dezi in a Speedo which actually looked very good on him with his ripped tan body. He gripped his pencil as Dezi tried to push Shane in and Shane grabbed him and they tried to wrestle each other into the pool. They both fell in and Shane came up and jumped on Dezi’s back.
Gen narrowed his eyes and his pencil snapped in his hand. Shane saw him and waved.
“Hey Gen-chan! Go change and come into the pool!” he yelled at him and Gen gave him a cheeky smile and flipped him off.
Gen grabbed his stuff and he went back below deck.
“Huh? What was that about?” mused Shane.
“Who was that?” asked Dezi under Shane.
Shane giggled, “He’s one of the son’s of the head of the yakuza. His name is Gensai and I’m trying to tag him.”
Dezi snorted, “He had jealousy written all over dat face. News flash Shane, the best way to win a new boyfriend isn’t jumping on an old one.”
Shane thought for a second and he grinned catching an idea from Kyo, Yataro and Darius.
“Or is it the perfect way?” asked Shane coyly.
“…You little rat…I’m so insulted.” Said Dezi in mock hurt and he threw him off.
Shane got up and pushed his hair back with a grin.
“Like you expected much else from me.”
Dezi splashed him and they broke into a splash fight before Dezi jumped on him and dunked him under the water and Shane dragged him down.
Meanwhile Gen was on the captain’s deck watching with malice in his eyes. If his look could kill, Dezi would have drowned.
“Hello spy.”
He jumped and looked to the side as Kyo seemed to pop up.
“What’s this now…watching your little boy toy fondling some other guy?” he asked with a wide grin.
“He’s not my boy toy and he’s not fondling him…” he did a double take just to make sure.
Kyo laughed, “Oh Gen…face facts…you may act like Shane annoys the piss out of you, but then again…so did Suichi with your sister and now they’re quite cozy.”
He folded his arms and Gen rolled his eyes.
“You’re so obnoxious. Why are you checking up on me anyway? Don’t you have anything better to do?” he asked bitterly.
“Not much with these rape wounds. The most I’ve done today is try and fail three times to take a shit.” He replied.
Gen rolled his eyes to him and Kyo giggled, “…That’s disgusting Kyoshiro.”
Kyoshiro gave him a cheeky grin. Darius suddenly ran out on the deck below and Yataro jetted after him and he tackled him into the water. Kyo chuckled.
“And what you’re fine with Darius water wrestling with your taken boy toy?” asked Gen insolently.
Kyo rolled his eyes, “My boyfriend is an eighteen year old. I expect him to play with other boys your boy toy on the other hand is much older than you and is with an old toy himself. Just think about it Gen…the man in the water with Shane…has been inside of him. Touched him…heard him moan.” Said Kyo leaning into him.
Gen growled and pushed him away and he walked off. Kyo licked the tip of his finger and drew an imaginary line in the air.
“I love manipulating people.” He sighed and looked back down at Darius and Yataro.
Gen walked down through the hall kind of pissed off right then. He didn’t care if Shane got back together with his old boyfriend. He didn’t. He probably would continue to annoy him even if he did. Gen snorted and he was gonna prove he didn’t care. He went to his room and he found some swim trunks and he changed and he went down to the pool. He got some looks from the ladies as he got into the pool and he started swimming laps. Shane and Dezi jumped up onto the side of the pool.
“Well someone is trying now.” Sad Dezi and Shane giggled.
“Come on.”
They got up and they grabbed their towels and left the pool. Gen finished his lap and he came up and looked around. He saw them walking off and he went red in the face scowled at their backs. He muttered angrily to himself and he did more laps in the pool just to vent some of his anger.
That night Suichi was in the bathroom wearing some good clothes…or at least the nicest hooker clothes he had. He was dressed up in a wine red button down and a black dinner jacket with some black slacks and leather boots. He ran his fingers through his hair with some gel and he combed it so the front was sticking up a little and he sighed. He grabbed some of the complimentary cologne and he sprayed some on before he left the bathroom. He took a quick drink from the bar before he left the room and he went out to the ball room deck.
There were a lot of couples here dressed in fancy clothes. Some of them dancing to the bands, others at tables enjoying a chat and some fine wine while others were sampling the delectable gourmet snacks from the tables and mingling with one another.
“Looking good handsome.” He heard Rukia say as she latched onto his arm.
He looked down at her and he smiled a little in awe. He had no idea where she got it, but she was dressed in a black, strapless evening gown. It contoured to her curves and split right down the middle of her breasts so she was showing cleavage. Her long dark hair was swept up in a curly bun with two curls trailing in front of her ears. On her feet she wore stilettos and an anklet and on her arms were long black satin gloves and her neck sported a diamond necklace. Her face was made up oh so sexy with a pale, porcelain looking foundation and a dark red color over her eyes.
“Wow…your look…gorgeous.” He said and she smiled and kissed his cheek and then wiped off of her dark lipstick that she left on his cheek.
“Thank you. Come on let’s go get some food and some wine.” He nodded and he took her arm and they went over to the food table.
Rukia picked out her food and proved to be the same older her under it as she loaded her plate like it was an all you could eat buffet. They went sit down and Suichi chuckled as she stabbed her fork into a meatball and stuck it in her mouth without disturbing her lipstick.
“Only girl here who can eat like that and still fit into a dress that size.” He told her and she giggled.
“I know I was blessed with the metabolism of a seven year old.” She said and she sipped her wine, “What did you do all day?”
“Tried to figure out what to do on this date without making an ass of myself.” He replied and leaned back.
She laughed, “If you haven’t made an ass of yourself yet there is no way you can achieve that on one date…oh looky there. Shane’s got himself a beau.”
They looked up as Shane walked in, in a sharp looking, sexy dinner jacket over a black sweater and a set of black leather pants with Dezi on his arm in a nice black and silver pinstripe suit with a pale pink shirt underneath.
“Well, well about time.” Said Suichi, “Your brother doesn’t look to happy.”
Gen was already stationed in a corner drinking alone watching them. Rukia shook her head and set down her glass.
“Oh he has been following those two ever since they met up this afternoon. If he were anymore jealous his hair would turn fuckin’ green.” She told him, “He’s had his nose buried in his manga, but I keep seeing him angry as shit…I’m afraid he’s gonna kill one of his characters to vent his anger.”
Suichi chuckled, “Oh no your brother is gonna kill a fictional person let’s notify the FBI.”
She gave him a sardonic look and he gave her a wide grin making her giggle.
Kyo was dancing with Yataro on the floor.
“I looked like a fuckin’ Fall Out Boy.” Muttered Yataro.
“Oh you look handsome Taro-kun.” said Kyo with a small smile, “I’m glad I could find you a nice suit to wear.”
“Where did you get this?” he asked him as they turned.
“Kumiko stole it.” He replied and Yataro’s jaw dropped.
Kyo giggled and he swept him around as Eichi and Kaito passed them on the dance floor.
“You know I’ve never danced with a man before.” Said Kaito.
Eichi grinned, “I’m glad I was your first.”
“Hmm, was it good for you?” asked Kaito and Eichi chuckled.
“Oh like when we make love…I am just getting started.” Replied Eichi and he lifted his hand and snapped his fingers twice.
The band switched to the tango and Kaito laughed as he swung him into the dance and Kaito played his misses in the dance. He dipped him and Kaito swung his hair back and around. They had a lot of onlookers most of them either laughing or admiring them though they didn’t go without a few sneers. Kumiko had her hands on the waiter boy again as he danced with her. They marched right past them and Eichi and Kaito looked at each other and they both laughed and shook their heads.
After a while they switched songs before Yataro left and he came back dragging Darius in a suit and he looked very uncomfortable. Kyo grabbed him as well and Yataro pushed him. Kyo swung him onto the dance floor and Darius went red in the face as Kyo danced with him.
“Come on Darius never danced before?” he asked as he led him.
“No I haven’t.” he said kind of embarrassed.
Kyo nodded, “First time for everything. You know Toya is a great dancer.”
“…He is?” he asked him.
“Yes he is…granted a lot of it is stage and dirty dancing, but Toya can do a sexy salsa.” He replied and Darius snorted.
“I seem to be learning more about him with him gone.” He said.
Kyo frowned, “You didn’t know Toya that well?”
“Not…really no it was kind of a freak accident what happened between us. The most I know about him is his blood line…and he is really good in bed.” He told Kyo.
He giggled, “Yeah Toya always made the most money out of us. Oh well when we find him I’m sure you’ll have plenty of time to get to know him.”
“And if I don’t find him I’m looking at a painful death.”
“…Death?”
“I was sent here to protect him and I already failed. If I don’t get him back I am as good as dead. And sense his spirit dominated mine…I’ll die as soon as he does.” He replied shocking Kyoshiro.
“Wow…that’s insane…you’ll really die?”
Darius nodded, “If he should suffer one fate I shall suffer the same.”
The song ended and Darius rubbed the back of his head.
“Uh thanks for the dance.” He said and then he walked off to a table.
Yataro joined Kyoshiro who sighed.
“There’s something very sad about him…” muttered Kyoshiro, “…he knows everything I don’t, but it’s like…I know everything he doesn’t too.”
“That’s weird…I mean I know what you’re talking about. It like he doesn’t know much about being human. He clearly likes being a dog more.” Agreed Yataro.
They both shrugged and they went get some food. Shane and Dezi sat down with some food from the bar and a couple of beers.
“…Dat guy is starting to piss me off. Da last time someone stared at me like dat I ended up shot.” Said Dezi eyeing Gen in the corner.
Shane shook his head, “He’s not gonna shoot you. I’m just waiting for him to snap. I know he will.”
“…Normally I’d be mad dat you’re using me…but even I gotta agree dat is one hot Asian…it’s not true is it?” he asked him.
“…What’s not true?” asked Shane confused.
Dezi snorted and leaned in, “You know…about Asian’s…da size?”
“Oh…oh!” Shane giggled and shook his head, “…I’ll be honest most of the guys I’ve had to deal with…I wasn’t too upset about the sex other than it wasn’t even a little satisfying. But there are a good few…like Suichi and Kaito and Kyo…you know what all my friends have big dicks. It’s that simple.” He said and Dezi snickered.
He glanced at Gen and then back, “Catch a glimpse of Gen?”
“No, not yet at least…but I got the 411 from Rukia and if I can trust anyone to grade guys it’s her.” He said and they both snickered to each other.
They ate half of their food and had a couple of beers.
“Now…care to dance.” Dezi asked Shane.
“Really?”asked Shane kind of surprised and he eyed him, “What’s the catch?”
“Heh, I’m getting’ you laid. I bet it’d stick right ion his craw if he saw you dancin’ with me.” He told him with a sly grin.
“…I always loved your devious mind.”
Dezi chuckled and he took his hand and went onto the dance floor with him. Gen’s eyes widened as they started slow dancing and Gen put his arm around Shane’s waist. His eyes blazed as his wine glass shattered in his hand and he clenched his already bleeding hand around the glass. He stood and he left the ball room.
Shane sighed, “God he is such a stubborn jack ass! If he gets much more pissed off he’s gonna explode.”
“…Don’t get me beaten up ok, remember you said it yourself…I’m a puss when it comes to fights.” Said Dezi and Shane patted his shoulder.
“Don’t worry he won’t beat you.” Said Shane.
“…Why did we break up?” Dezi said asking the first serious thing all night.
Shane gave him a shrewd look, “Connie Delvecio.”
“…Oh yeah…I slept with her…it sucked.” He said remembering.
Shane rolled his eyes, “I’m glad it was worth the most devastating moment of my twenty year old life.”
They went sit down and Shane finished his beer and looked at the door and he sighed.
“I’m gonna go find him.” He told Dezi and he nodded.
Shane got up and he went out and he looked for him in his room and only found his suit crumpled up on the floor. He sighed and he picked it up hating messes and he hung it up. He left and he went to the top deck. It was deserted except for Gen who was sitting at the railing with his legs hanging over the side of the ship. He was back in his old clothes and he had his manga stuff next to him. It was windy and Shane stopped for a moment as Gen’s hair blew into his face and around it and he didn’t do anything against it. Shane smiled because he looked so gorgeous staring out onto the light blue horizon against the dark night sky as the sun sunk below the sea with the wind in his hair and the dark look on his face.
Shane walked over to him and Gen glanced up and then he stared back out.
“What?” he asked evenly.
“…You’re hand ok?” he asked him.
Gen lifted his hand which was wrapped and he sighed and let it drop, “Just fine.”
Shane sat next to him on the deck and stared out. His hair didn’t move because of his gel, but he looked back at Gen.
“You’re mad at me.” He said.
Gen sighed, “I’m not mad.”
“Oh…that is such bull! Damn it Gen would you make up your fuckin’ mind!? Do you hate me or do you like me!? Because I’m starting to wonder if you just don’t want me to be happy because I annoy you!” Shane yelled at him.
Gen glanced at him and Shane shook his head and he stood.
Gen groaned, “I don’t hate you ok!? I don’t!”
Shane looked down at him and Gen pushed his hair out of his face and off to one side.
“I don’t know why it pisses me off, but it does…the little bitch is lucky I didn’t cross the room and punch him!” he finally said and Shane laughed.
“Oh shut up I know you were doing it on purpose and you know what that really sucks Shane! That was a really dick move!” he stood and glared at Shane who blinked at him.
“…I’m…sorry.” Said Shane.
“Sorry…sorry isn’t fuckin’ good enough, you just love pissing me off, can’t you give it a fuckin’ break!” he screamed at him and Shane stepped back from him when he realized he was drunk.
“Gen calm down.” He told him and Gen slammed fist on the rail.
“Don’t tell me to fuckin’ calm down you little whop!” he screamed and Shane’s jaw dropped.
“…Did you just call me a whop!?” Shane screamed back and Gen walked up to him.
“Yes…I called you…a fuckin’…guinea loving, loud mouthed, ignorant whop!” he returned and he pushed Shane and his foot slipped on the wet deck.
Gen yelled as he fell back and hit the rail and flipped over it. Shane dove and he caught his hand and got yanked off and clung to the rail. He grunted and pulled Gen up and he reached and grabbed the rail, but his bag fell into the water.
“No, my manuscripts!” he yelled looking down.
Shane looked up and then down again. He dropped into the water and plunged into the frigid depths. He yelled under water as his leg was snagged by something hard. He came up with a gasp and he gritted his teeth and he swam over to the bag. Gen pulled himself up and looked down.
“Shane!!!”
Shane grabbed the bag and he swam back to the ship trying not to get swallowed by the rocking waves created by the wind. Gen grabbed a rope from the wall of the cabin and he threw it over and kept an end. Shane was down by a foot and he kept grabbing at it as a wave brought him up. Gen reached down further and Shane grabbed the rope and caught it and Gen pulled him up. He got him to the deck and he grabbed him and pulled him up. Shane rolled onto the deck and he coughed and gasped shivering from the cold water.
“What is wrong with you?” breathed Gen trying to catch his breath.
Shane looked up at him and he gave him a hard right hook to the face and he fell back.
“You’re such an asshole Gensai!” he choked out and he stood and threw his wet bag at him and he limped off angrily leaning Gen on the deck.
Shane ended up down in the infirmary wrapped in a blanket as a doctor looked at his leg which got bloodied up.
“Looks like…” he yanked out a piece of something and Shane yelled behind his lips, “Coral.”
The doctor showed him and Shane took the bloody coral.
“…I hate the ocean.” He muttered and he sniffled and sneezed.
A nurse stuck a thermometer under his tongue and he sighed. Gensai walked in with a nice black eye coming in. He looked at Shane wrapped in a blanket and his cut up leg.
“Are…you ok?” he asked and Shane flipped him off.
The nurse took out the thermometer.
“One hundred.” She announced and he groaned and fell back.
Gensai winced and he rubbed the back of his head and he looked back and Shane and he bit his lip.
Gensai hung up his drawings on a line he put up through his room. A kettle whistled on a hot plate and he went over and he took it off and poured some hot water into a tea cup. He stirred around a tea bag in it and he added a little sugar. He picked it up and blew on it before he went and sat on his bed.
“Here.”
He handed the cup to Shane who was sitting on his bed with a bandaged leg and in a kimono. Shane sipped his tea and he sighed.
“…I really…am so sorry about what I said and about what I called you.” Said Gen.
Shane sighed, “…Well that’s a start…You’re lucky I’m not a whop or I would have given you a Peruvian neck tie.” He told him.
Gen frowned, “What’s that?”
Shane snorted, “That’s when I slit your throat and pull your tongue through the hole.”
“…O…oh.” Said Gen and Shane snickered.
“Sobering up?” he asked and Gen nodded.
“Very…badly.” He replied and looked up at him and he flinched when Shane sneezed and spilt his tea all over him.
Shane groaned and he fell back against the head board. Gen took his cup and he went get a towel. He returned and Shane took it and cleaned himself up.
“…I know…they’re important to me, but…why the hell did you dive into water in the middle of winter to get some drawings?” Gen asked finally voicing his confusion.
Shane shrugged, “Because they’re important to you and I know that.”
Gen nodded and he stood, “I’m gonna go into the bathroom and swallow everything in the medicine cabinet now.”
Shane giggled, “Oh come on Gen-chan.”
“Shane…I just…I can’t tell you how bad I feel for what I said. I was just so pissed…to see you with…that ignorant talking pretty boy!” he exclaimed.
“Now, now he’s my ex Gen, I broke up with him for a reason granted, but he is still my friend.” He told him.
“…Why did you?”
“He slept with this bitch from our high school. Luckily it wasn’t worth it for him so his loss.” He told him and he yawned and shivered.
Gen felt his forehead and Shane kind of smiled. Gen got up and he went get him some medicine for his fever.
Shane muttered to himself, “Bad consequences, but it worked like a charm.”
Gen came back and he took the medicine and Shane fell to the side on his bed with a heavy sighed and he closed his eyes.
“I feel…so crappy…this stuff always happens to me. I am the biggest klutz I know.” He muttered.
Gen sat down, “You can’t be that bad.”
“Yeah, ever since I was a kid I was a klutz. The first time I shot a gun…I hit a car seven miles away. And it all went downhill from there.” He told Gen half asleep.
Gen blinked at him, “Hey you can’t…”
But Shane had already fallen asleep. Gen sighed and he ran his fingers through his hair. He shook his head and he went and turned off the lights at the door before he went over to Shane. He looked down at him and he shook his head and covered him up. He went to the bathroom and he brushed his teeth and he went back and got into the other bed and he too fell asleep.
To be continued…

Rosetta Moon: Ok so it's been a while, you try writing ten stories at once. Any way give me reviews and don't make comments about my lateness or no more story for you! I decided to add a little more cute into the mix since it is yaoi. So here a new twist for the next chapter...you vote on your favorite character in the entire story, post it in a review and in the next chapter I'll put a sex scene of him or her. I promise it will be tasteful, organic to the plot and hot as fuck. ;)
