\"Sorry for what?\" the black neko muttered, standing and scratching the back of his head. \"I\'m not the one that\'s going to be mewling and clawing at the walls when I enter heat. In this place, if you want sex all you have to do is bend over a table, lift your loincloth and wait five minutes, at most.\" He ruffled the boy\'s hair gently and licked once at his lips. \"Shh, nobody\'s mad at you,\" he laughed. \"You\'re being silly. I thought you were cut up like Oriel or something, but I saw everything as you were running ahead of me; you\'re perfectly intact. That means you\'re just shy. Not a problem.\"

He drew his hands away and crossed his arms with a happy wink. \"I\'m sure that\'ll fade in time anyhow; when I first came here I was about as scared as you were, too.\"

Chibi squeaked softly with embarrassment and tugged the loincloth down further which didn\'t really help anything at all. Being naked in front of Kaa-san had felt perfectly natural, but with someone as confident and dare he think it - cool as Dorian (and his friends) it quietly mortified him, as if he\'d given up all his secrets too soon. Blushing vividly he nodded, feeling that tiny spark of hopefulness well up in his chest once more - enough for him to offer Dorian a very shy smile, \"I\'m n-not used to anything but r-rutting....I never....\" Trailing off her scuffed the ground with his toes and fell silent.

\"It\'s ok,\" Dorian assured, nuzzling the boy\'s neck before peeking his head out of the bushes. \"Hey! Roughhousing! Wanna play?\" he mewled happily, when he saw some of the boys rolling across the lawn, biting and mewling and scratching with one of the fullgrowns, who was ignoring them at first but soon joined in the play when a fang sank into his ear and he roared.

Chibi giggled a little at the younger nekos annoying the full-grown and nodded hesitantly; he\'d never played with other nekos before - not in his memory anyway and it looked like fun even if he was too shy to anything more than hide behind Dorian and peek over his shoulder at the frantic scuffling going on.

Dorian watched for a few minutes, waiting for an opening. It came when the full-grown rolled onto his back and his throat and chest were exposed-- the black neko leapt with a kittenish roar that sounded more like a mewl than anything, and latched his little fangs onto the fullgrown\'s neck, wrapping his arms around it and biting hard.

The full-grown roared again and pushed himself to his feet, swinging around with four little nekos clinging to him. He tossed one into the pool, one on the grass, and shook one off until only Dorian was hanging onto the neck. The boy lifted his legs and wrapped them around the man\'s waist as well, refusing to be shaken, and the full-grown laughed. \"I should have known you were the ringleader, D!\" he rumbled, reaching for the boy\'s sides and tickling him till he laughed so hard he released and fell on the grass. Breaking into a run on all fours, the full-grown ran in circles around Chibi as the nekos chased him once more and tried to catch him.

Watching them Chibi covered his mouth with his hands and giggled loudly - already he felt welcomed, relieved since it seemed even though he refused to listen before Dorian had forgiven him and now he could join in with their games without fear of reprimand or abuse. Although he missed Kaa-san terribly already he was momentarily forgotten as he decided to take a chance and knelt down slowly, taking advantage of the other nekos\' distracting effect upon the full-grown to tense his legs and choose the perfect moment to pounce, somehow even in his weakened state managing to snag onto the older neko with a little miw of triumph.

\"Aha! The little one joins the fight!\" the full-grown declared, \"Fine then! The challenge is on!\" He scooped Chibi up in his arms easily and tossed the boy on his back, holding onto Chibi\'s bum to keep him still while he broke into a serious run on three limbs, making a mad dash across the courtyard at speeds no little neko could make on his own.

The other boys, left far behind, made jealous noises or declared how lucky Chibi was as the full-grown leapt across the entire width of the pool without getting wet, and bounded around the courtyard a few times before putting the boy down. \"Some day,\" he panted, \"You\'ll be big and strong and able to do that too!\" He reached out and snagged another boy by the ankle, lifting him up into a piggy back and running around the same way he had with Chibi, causing the remaining boys to line up and squeal with anticipation of their turns.

The whole little journey was such a blur of motion and excitement Chibi had to sit down when the full-grown finally released him and found his next target. He crossed his legs and tried to catch his breath, gradually calming down and managing not to laugh so much as he watched the others being ferried around by the full-grown who was so graceful and strong he found himself blushing again and beaming to himself. His words had warmed Chibi\'s heart even more with the anticipation that now maybe he had something of a brighter future to look forward to.

Dorian took a seat beside Chibi and began to lick at the boy\'s ear idly to hide the fact that he was whispering into his ear, \"You have more spunk than I thought; I can\'t believe you did that with this still.\" He reached out and touched the tip of Chibi\'s unattended erection through the loincloth, making the tent bob up and down a few times when he flicked his finger. \"You have a crush on him or something, that you\'d press it against him? You trying to torture him? Nobody\'s allowed to take you until Master has.\"

Chibi shifted uncomfortably, his blush darkening as he reached out, stopping just short of brushing Dorian\'s wandering hand away. In truth he\'d been so caught up in the joy of innocently playing with the others he\'d completely forgotten about his little problem, \"...n-no!...I...I...forgot...\" He whispered in return, beginning to tremble again so easily it surprised even him, \"....I just w-wanted to join in...\"

Dorian laughed lightly. \"Well no matter. Even if he wants you, he can\'t have you. You\'re Master\'s first. It\'s the rules.\" He nodded to himself and resumed lapping at the boy\'s ear, because it was fun. \"You really should take care of it somewhere though. I\'m sure the others will notice soon.\"

Chibi shook his head slightly, his happy mood faltering as Dorian really rubbed in the fact that his foster family arrangement would be perverted eventually because of those rules, \"....I don\'t know how...\" He muttered shamefully and pulled away from Dorian, longing for the shadows again suddenly.

The boy drew away and blinked rapidly, smiling and about to laugh, thinking it was a joke. But when Chibi didn\'t laugh either, he appeared one-hundred-per-cent-shocked. \"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH?!\" he cried, ears flipping forward and eyes wide. \"You-- but you...!\" he stammered, pointing at Chibi\'s face so close that his fingertip touched the boy\'s nose. Finally he relaxed some, taking a deep breath and smiling once more. \"C\'mere. Come on, follow me. Master has to take you first, but there ain\'t no rules on us teaching you how to make that go away.\" Dorian nodded his head back towards the bushes, and scurried into them where they\'d been hiding in the first place, waiting for Chibi.


Chibi followed Dorian cautiously; his reaction had shocked him - as if it was something very important he was ignorant of, something that had to be immediately remedied. When he cut through the bushes into the relative privacy beyond the line of foliage he sat down by Dorian and looked back at him cluelessly. \"........it\'s not a big deal...right?\"

\"Yes it\'s a big deal!\" Dorian whispered behind his hand, as if the leaves might be whispering. \"You\'ve gone all this time without being able to make yourself happy when you\'re alone! Come here, lift your loincloth and sit down. I\'ll show you.\" Dorian sat down cross-legged with his back against the cool marble of the stairs, and turned his loincloth to the side so that his little penis was visible. He took hold of it in his hand. \"Look, like this, see? You curl your fingers around the shaft-- that\'s the long part. And this is the head.\" He used his other hand to tease at the head of his own little cock, mewling softly. \"You can play with that while you stroke the shaft, or you can hold onto your balls.\" He reached deeper between his legs and cupped his testicles. \"You play with the balls or the head or alternate between them or whatever you want-- whatever feels good while you stroke the shaft. Try it! It feels really good. Just close your eyes, think of something sexy like Master, and start to stroke.\" He began to stroke at his length slowly, and it became hard without much difficultly. \"Nnnn... you start off slow,\" Dorian whispered, his voice becoming gruff and needy, \"Then start going faster. Your body will tell you what to do, you\'ll see.\"

Chibi leant forward slightly and studied Dorian\'s actions with blatant curiosity rather than arousal even though he barely realized as he watched his hands were wandering lower, stroking lightly over his pale, exposed thighs before settling beneath the thin material of his loincloth which thankfully disguised much of his fumbling, absent attempts to pleasure himself. He couldn\'t make himself think of Master though - there was no denying he was handsome and intriguing, but he was family and Chibi let his mind wander, concentrating instead upon the soft sounds Dorian was making that eventually began to be echoed by himself - although he hardly noticed he was mewling brokenly and purring as he gradually mastered the perfect mixture of gentle stroking and teasing that spread a tingling warm sensation through his weakened body.

Dorian came quickly, mewling softly and lifting his hand to his mouth, lapping away his own seed hungrily rather than putting it to waste wiping it in the grass. He looked over at Chibi, who seemed to have gotten the idea, and pulled back the boy\'s loincloth to watch with fascination. When the new kid seemed to be getting close, Dorian leaned in and began to lap softly at the head of the boy\'s weeping erection, tasting the seed and purring softly, waiting for him to release.

Chibi squeezed his eyes shut tightly, barely able to believe what he was doing in front of someone he\'d only just met and the how Dorian could be making him feel so good that way. With all his senses focused upon the waves of pleasure radiating through him it wasn\'t long before he threw his head back and let out a soft, strangled little cry; his fingers faltering as he came in hot little spurts, shuddering and whimpering in surprised relief.

Dorian purred louder when he heard Chibi about to release, and he closed his lips around the head of the boy\'s length moments before he came, moaning as the seed filled his mouth, leaving no evidence behind of what Chibi had done as he swallowed every pale pearl. When nothing more was released into his mouth he drew away with one last tender lick to the slit, then sat back with a wan smile for his new friend. \"And that\'s how you make it go away,\" he miwed happily. \"You\'ll be soft in a few seconds as long as you leave it alone. If you keep stroking it or are really really hot for somebody, or you\'re in heat, it won\'t go away, and you\'ll release again and again and again, and it\'ll take more energy out of you each time, and it\'ll be less and less until you can\'t any more and you\'re too sensitive.\"

Chibi covered himself up and curled up on his side, still breathing a little heavier than usual and shaking as the comforting sensation lingered and he listened to Dorian with half an ear, still caught up in the unfamiliar sensations coursing through him. Shyly he held out his hands to Dorian, wanting to thank him, but not really knowing how beyond what Kaa-san had taught him.

Looking down at the hands held out to him in confusion, Dorian glanced back up at Chibi, question in his eyes. Blinking, he took the hands in his own, and stared at the boy, one eyebrow arched curiously.

Chibi half used them to pull himself up and gave Dorian a brief, nervous little hug before sitting back and looking down at the ground as if he might have done something wrong even though he couldn\'t help a tiny smile which crept onto his lips.

The boy laughed and reached out, ruffling Chibi\'s hair. \"You look pleased. I\'m glad. Next time I\'ll teach you something better.\" He straightened his own loin cloth quickly. \"And if you think that was good, wait till you\'re done with Master. Nobody\'s ever the same after their time with him.\" Dorian smiled wide. \"You\'re lucky, though. You\'re Oriel\'s favourite. That means you\'ll probably get to be around Master a lot. Usually he looks at you once in your life, the first day you come here, and then never again. We barely even get to see him.\"

Chibi\'s smile disappeared and he shrugged, as if it weren\'t a big deal to him either way. He held a different kind of respect for their Master now Oriel had explained his situation, something he couldn\'t discuss with anyone apart from his new mother. With barely a pause he tried to gloss over his feelings, \"Can we play again sometime?\"

\"We can play now!\" Dorian cried out happily, tackling Chibi and rolling around in the bushes with him, nipping at his ears and throat and wrestling with him until they rolled out of the bushes and across the grass, yipping and mewling. Dorian laughed and rolled with Chibi in a mess of arms and legs and tails as they scrapped, until he bumped into someone. When he glanced up briefly and saw who it was, he released Chibi and froze in place, ears going flat and his eyes going wide.

Master bent down calmly and picked Chibi up by the back of the neck the same way he had the first time they\'d met, and tossed the boy over his shoulder, turning and walking back into the estate. Dorian waved goodbye to Chibi with a leering grin and an encouraging thumbs-up as the doors to the back yard closed and Chibi was carried up the stairs and down to the right wing towards Master\'s room.

Chibi hung limply off Master\'s shoulder and tried not to shiver - he was wrenched so suddenly from his playful scrapping with Dorian it had startled him into silence and they were almost at Master\'s room before he the realization of why he\'d been taken away hit him like a sledgehammer and he bit down on his lip, trying not to whimper in fearful anticipation.

Chibi was drawn off Master\'s shoulder and placed on the bed, and Master looked down into the boy\'s face once more, one hand still on his shoulder as he stared into the boy\'s eyes for several long moments against what Dorian had just said about only being looked at once then ignored. Master then released Chibi and looked up higher on the bed, where Oriel lay fully dressed with his knees pulled up close and his head resting on a pillow as he shivered, a dark flush to his cheeks. \"Thank you, Master,\" Oriel murmured softly, to which Master didn\'t reply. \"Have a safe journey and come back to me well.\"

Master turned and left the room, leaving the two of them on the bed.

Chibi heaved a deep sigh of relief and turned his attention to Oriel almost instantly. His heart was thundering in his chest and he felt shaken, but his concern for his parent outweighed any sense of waning fear he\'d been feeling and cautiously he crept up to sit beside Oriel, not daring to touch him. \".....Kaa-san...?\" He uttered, the worry blatant in his vaguely plaintive, kittenish tone.

\"Mmmmmmm?\" Oriel asked, his question a little more drawn out than intended, his eyes half-closed. He reeked of sex and sweat, and the shivering rise and sink of his body told completely of the pleasure he\'d just been through. \"What\'s wrong, little one?\" he whispered, finally managing to speak once more after he turned his eyes away from Master\'s backside while the man walked away.

Chibi still kept his distance as his mind wandered back to what he\'d heard earlier in the evening and he shuddered, turning away from Oriel out of shame and consideration for them both, \"....are you alright?\" He whispered, ignoring Oriel\'s question and managing to keep his voice from trembling for the first time since he\'d been brought to live in Master\'s home.

\"A little worried about Master, but otherwise, fantastic,\" Oriel murmured, reaching out and touching the tip of Chibi\'s tail gently. \"What\'s wrong, little love? You look like you\'ve seen an entire fleet of ghosts.\"

Shaking his head Chibi curled his tail around Oriel\'s palm, letting the tip tickle his smooth skin gently with an offer of the only comfort he thought he was capable of providing, \"....I don\'t...never mind.\"

Oriel sighed softly, closing his eyes. \"You can tell me anything, you know-- I asked you to call me Kaa-san but I want us to be more than just that sort of relationship. I want us to be friends, too-- I want to be able to share secrets with you and hear yours as well. I want to stay up in the night telling stories and making up tales about things that go bump in the night, if you\'ll be that way with me.\"

Chibi took a deep breath and before he could regret it he took advantage of Oriel\'s kind offer and blurted out, \"I don\'t want to be with Master. Dorian said it\'s wonderful and amazing and...I...I just don\'t want to. He\'s Kaa-san\'s and it\'s wrong. I\'ll follow the rules, but...\"

Oriel\'s eyes opened once more and he looked at his little one seriously, though he couldn\'t make the flush in his cheeks go away and he still wasn\'t ready to sit up. \"Dorian tends to say a little more than is necessary,\" he murmured softly, \"But he was right. I\'m afraid you don\'t have a choice in that matter, Chibi. In the end, as much as you\'re here to be happy, you\'re still Master\'s property and it is his right to have you that way. Master is mine, certainly, but we\'re all Master\'s-- it\'s not wrong, little one. I don\'t mind, if that\'s what you\'re worried about. I\'d probably have you in a few years myself, once you were older, if I was able to; you\'re very pretty and I like you very much. Do you... do you understand what I\'m trying to say?\"

: Even though it made his heart heavy with sadness Chibi nodded and curled up closer to Oriel, seeking reassurance despite his worrying words. It was difficult to express why he was so against being with either of them and why messing around with Dorian and the others, while embarrassing wasn\'t something that filled him with trepidation, \"...I just wanted something that wasn\'t tainted...\"

Wrapping his arm around the boy, he sighed softly and nuzzled Chibi\'s head with his cheek. \"Well, it won\'t be tainted with me. But I told you before you shouldn\'t call Master your father... that was why I said it, and that\'s why he doesn\'t want to be called that. ...But sooner or later you\'re going to learn that almost everything in this world is tainted, little one.\" He kissed the top of Chibi\'s head tenderly. \"If it makes you feel any better, Master won\'t touch you until you\'re a little older anyhow. He may be a man who doesn\'t follow a lot of rules but he still has his morals. \"

Chibi pressed himself close to Oriel and let his tail drape over the fullgrown\'s waist, swishing lightly over the duvet from time to time as he tried to calm himself and lay there in silent contemplation of Oriel\'s reply for a long while. Eventually he mustered the courage to cheer himself up and peeked up at Oriel, smiling almost sheepishly. \".......\"
