Crimson Moonlight

His head hung over the side railing of the small ferry, the only other crew besides himself and Ren were the captain and one aid. They weren't riding a public ferry, just a small, independent boat that carried hunters to Lauel Island, home base for all hunters within the Organization. Still, as thoughts swirled in his head, the last remaining contents of his stomach emptying into the sea, he couldn't even muster the courage to stand up.

After the last bits of acid surely killed a few fish in the ocean, Kyrios pulled his limp body off from the rail, sinking down as he wiped his mouth on his glove. "Fuck, how the hell are you alright? I hate these fucking death coffins." He referred to Ren, who hadn't shown the slighest sign of illness, rather looked on at the deep blue in awe. His gaze fixated on the compress on Ren's cheek, a slight pinge of guilt shooting through his veins. "How're you feeling?"

Chocolate eyes glanced down, a smile brighter than the sun that was bearing down on the small ferry flashed at Kyrios. "Fine, I'm not hurting so much anymore." A lie. Kyrios had caught a glimpse of Ren when the Seer thought he was alone. He limped. Yet, around others he walked in perfect, if slowed, stride. The boy had far to much pride to admit that the bastard Lowell had incapacitated him for the past three days. "What about you? Didn't know you were the type to get sea sick." He giggled.

"Shut it." Kyrios growled, only eliciting more laughter from Ren. Still, too see the boy in good humor did bring a smile to Kyrios. He'd been depressed for a little while after Lowell's assault, but he bounced back rather quickly. Kyrios wondered how much of it was genuine, however.

The last fits of his laughter subsiding, Ren sank down beside Kyrios, laying his head against the strong muscle of the hunters shoulder. A light blush stained Kyrios's cheeks as the captain of the ship glanced their way, an "awww" escaping his lips that made Kyrios want to draw his magnum.

"Kid, what the hell are you doin'?" Despite his rather harsh question, he did pull the boy a little closer.

"Meh, I dunno. Thought this might comfort you." Again, Kyrios wondered who needed the comfort. Seeing him broken and sobbing two nights before had affected Kyrios. Ren acted strong, but he was still very young. "So, this Lauel Island where your headquarters is. Tell me something about it, might get your mind off your nausea."

"Not much to say really..." Kyrios glanced up at the sky, thought it seemed to make the rocking of the boat more intense. "...It's a desert island with a city on it. Many hunters operate out of it, we have informants around the world that give us information, and hunters are dispatched accordingly. There was one in your college, which is how we found you. There are lone hunters too, but most find it more beneficial to join the organization."

His sky blue eyes glanced over at the Seer, taking in the sight of his slightly tanning features drinking in the bright sunlight. He seemed to be distant. "Hey, you thinkin', about that bastard Lowell?

Smiling, Ren turned his attention from his thoughts and back to Kyrios. "Hardly...just kinda thinking."

Didn't want to talk about it? Fine with Kyrios, as he was too busy scrambling back over the railing to empty whatever was left of his stomach. The ferry finally docked on a small desert island, dropping them off on the beach, and returning back to the city from whence it came. Kyrios thanked whatever god might've been listening to be back on dry land. Ren only looked on at the desert horizon in horror, the sand wisping around as the sea breeze caught it.

"Yeah, it's a bit of a hike." Kyrios patted Ren on the back of his chocolate locks. The boy's recently tanning features were quickly returning to a pale white as he thought of his poor backside. He'd never make it across the desert in his condition. Amused, Kyrios decided to tease the poor kid. Afterall, he wanted to pretend he was alright. "Alright, how about a race, whoever loses has to bottom." He laughed as Ren's face dropped further. Poking the boy in the forehead, he added, "I'm joking kiddo. I'll give you a lift."

"A-A lift..." His face flushed as the half-demon dropped down to his knees, offering his tightly toned back to the young demon. "N-No, no way! I'm not a five year old, you're not giving me a piggy back ride." He began a defiantly painful stride towards the desert. "Let's get g-going!" Each step seemed to hold a knife that stabbed him in the upper legs.

Grumbling, Kyrios stood and easily caught up to the defiant brat. Planting his hand on Ren's back, he gave a light push. Despite the complete lack of force in his "attack" it was more than enough to send Ren reeling, collapsing to the soft sand at his feet.

"B-Bastard!" He tried to stand, though scrambling to his feet caused to much pain. "What was that for!?" Tears of frustration welled in his eyes, frustrated that he was too weak to even stand back up.

Grinning, and chuckling at the demon's flustered state aside, Kyrios felt a large amount of guilt, blaming himself for Ren's cripped condition. "You gonna be a prideful bitch now? Cause if you're gonna keep saying you're not hurt, then I'm gonna keep shoving you down all the way to HQ. And it's a pretty good walk." He again knelled down, back offered to the chocolate haired Seer. "Now, get on. I won't tell anyone, promise." The words were a cruel taunt.

Planting his hands on the strong soldiers, Ren braced himself against Kyrios's back. "This is so embarrassing..." He buried his face into the hunter's back, as though every grain of sand was a person pointing and laughing at his pathetic-ness. "Dammit..."

The awkward stride into the desert only furthered to fuel Ren's shame. The sheer intensity of the sun on his back didn't help either. But what was far worse was his hands groping shamelessly at Kyrios's taut muscles. He said nothing to indicate he was aware of Ren's actions, so the Seer felt no need to stop. It was a good chance to explore the body he lusted after in his thoughts. In sex, Kyrios dominated, often exploring Ren's body to his own delight. It was his turn.

His hands started at the shoulder, those wonderfully powerful muscles that twitched with Kyrios's idle stride. Sliding subtly down, slow enough to seem as nothing. His hands traveled down the veins, veins that popped forth from hours of endless push-ups. Then, they wrapped around his waist, slender, yet very firm. His belly was solid, though he'd likely never done the first crunch. Battle trained, made solid from numerous battles with demons. He wanted to dip his hands down to the groin, but he wouldn't be able to do so without making his exploration obvious.

Nevertheless, the words, "Stop feelin' me up, fuckin' brat." Rolled rather inelegantly from Kyrios's lips.

Ren again buried his face into Kyrios's shoulder. So ashamed, the heat of the sun was weak compared to the heat in his cheeks. "S-Sorry..." He meeped out pathetically. He wrapped his hands around the raven haired man's shoulders once again, riding in humiliation, knowing Kyrios felt the erection that was pressing into his back,

Clenching the horny boys thigh tight, Kyrios twisted his head, planting a chaste kiss on Ren's lips, brightening the red in his cheeks to a deep scarlet. "There's a rest area up ahead, we can take care of that there." His hand rubbed the slim leg in his hands. "Cause it's distracting."

They continued their stride, eventually coming upon a tent that provided shade to a bench and a cooler. Kyrios carefully set the wounded boy down on the bench, opening the cooler and withdrawing two bottles of water. "It's customary for anyone coming through to bring water and ice to restock these but...I forgot."

He planted himself on the bench next to Ren, handing the brunette the frosty bottle. "Thanks." The Seer murmured as he accepted the bottle. He popped the lid, having not even realized how truly hot the desert was as the biting liquid traveled down his mouth.

"Boy, you're really hard, aren't you?" His eyes shot open, the water spewing from his mouth as Kyrios's large hand cupped his erection. "My body that irresistible? You're sooo hard." He looked up, Ren's face a nice shade of red. "You always blush, like a damn virgin. Tell you what, ask me really nice, and I'll give you a good blow. What do you say?" He thought for sure that the boy would either smack him, or dump the icy water in his hands on his head.

But the ragged pants and unsteady breathing did little to mask the words, "Please...Please...Kyrios...I really want you too." He was actually caught off guard by the boy's honesty. "My mark it's....been burning but we can't do anything because..." A sob caught in his throat, the pain in his ass reminding him that the two were sexually roadblocked.

"Awww, you're so cute lil' Renny." Kyrios purred. Despite his taunts which were flustering Ren, his fingers nimbly undid the button and zipper of Ren's jeans. "And this is cute too..." The erection flopping out, nearly striking Kyrios in the eye. Gripping the base, his calloused hand traveled up Ren's erection, and back down in a painfully slow rhythm. Ren's breath caught in hitched moans that couldn't make their way to the surface. "Tch, can't believe I'm about to suck you off, lil brat. Be gracious, this is a rare treat. Better tell me thank you too." His complaints went on and on, though he wouldn't deny he didn't at all hate taking the head of the dripping erection into his mouth, the reward of the deep moan escaping Ren's throat filling his ears. Such a beautiful sound.

"Like that?" He purred, his mouth pulling from Ren's cock to swirl his tongue around the crown, amused eyes staring up at the Seer. His eyes cracked open to give a nod to Kyrios. "Those damn eyes...so beautiful..." Kyrios murmured. Ren's eyes had turned crimson once again. Seemed that the Seer may have been a sexual demon.

Sweat drenched his clothes, ruined them, as Kyrios's mouth began a slow descent down Ren's erection. Painfully, teasingly slow, seeming to relish in the whimpers that escaped from Ren's mouth. The hunter had no problem in swallowing the hard erection to the root, the soft nest of brown curls tickling his nose. He sucked deep, the back of his throat threatening to swallow Ren's cock down as he pulled in his breath around the vein-throbbing length.

"Kyrios!" Ren continued to cry. Either screaming Kyrios's name to the vast expanse of the desert, or moaning, or crying for more. Kyrios bobbed his head up an down Ren's impressive sex, resisting the urge to knock the kid one whenever he felt slender fingers grip his hair. A growl around the member in his mouth did nothing to discourage the boys iron grip.

Finally forced to pull his mouth off of the sex, Kyrios placed gentle, hickey-like bites down the side of Ren's member. "Hands outta my hair, brat." Ren did as he was told, gripping the wood of the bench hard enough to break as Kyrios trailed his soft bites down to the root of the cock. His fingers danced up Ren's chest, pushing themselves into Ren's hot cavern, where his tongue lathered them in a healthy coat of saliva. "You like this eh," Ren squirmed under even the lightest touch, Kyrios swallowing the member once again inside of his soft lips, his fingers roaming the expanse of the Seer's mouth.

"G-Gonna cum...Kyrios..." Shuddering, Ren felt an intense heat in the pit of his belly release, his orgasm filling Kyrios's mouth who swallowed the salty essence with ease.

Pulling his mouth off of the sticky member, Kyrios drank in the sight of Ren, caught in the afterglow of his orgasm. Plucking is fingers from the brunette's mouth, he thrust his tongue deep into the hot cavity, their tongues wrapping around each other, the taste of cum sharing in their mouthes. They parted briefly for air, though their tongues never unhinged, before binding their lips once again. Kyrios nudged his body closer, feeling slender legs wrap around his waist, his clothed erection pressing into Ren's bottom.

A deep hiss cut his actions off. "Fuck! Sorry..." Ren let out a soft whimper, his bottom still very much tender from his rape.

"I-It's okay..." Ren felt his eyes welling with tears. He wanted it so much, but he was still bruised. "U-Ummm...I can use my mouth...or hands..." He looked around awkwardly.

"Let's get going..." Kyrios murmured, zipping up and buttoning Ren's jeans and boosting him onto his back. "It's still a little ways."

The ride through the desert was awkward on both ends, Kyrios having a very hard problem in his jeans, and Ren riddled with guilt over being unable to help. As they walked, Ren continually attempted to grasp at Kyrios's length, only to have his hand slapped away. The walk was a silent one, Ren's face buried in Kyrios's shoulder, biting back tears. He felt like he'd disappointed Kyrios. The thoughts he'd been having for most of the day were resurfacing. Kyrios telling him that once they got to HQ he'd "drop him off, and that'd be that." Once they got to HQ, would he and Kyrios no longer be with one another. Ren didn't want that to happen, but he could only wonder if it would.

Glancing over the hunter's shoulder, his nose buried into ebony hair, a very large, almost cathedral-like building came into view. "Is that...it's so big!" He admired from the distance.

"Has to be..." Kyrios didn't seem upset. "It houses over a hundred hunters." They made their way to the building, entering through the very large front door. Inside seemed rather empty, but there was staircase upon staircase that led up endlessly. Despite the stone building's location in the middle of the desert, it was surprisingly cool. The room was bare, leading straight toward a large iron door with a staircase on either side.

Setting Ren down, Kyrios blared, "Welcome to HQ, kid." He grasped Ren's hand, pulling him along. "Time for you to meet the boss." They entered through the large iron door, going down a long stretch of hallway to another door, that entered into what appeared to be a King's audience chamber. On the throne, sat a scarlet haired man with rather dorky bifocals on, talking to two other hunters. Their entrance wasn't left unnoticed by the man, who gave them both their attention.

"Kyrios!" The two hunters with whom he was conversing were promptly ignored as the lanky man skidded across the room, wrapping his arms around the half-demon in a hug. "It's been a while. Complete your mission?"

"Y-Yeah."

As he pulled the powerful hunter closer, an unintentional growl escaped Ren's throat. Both Kyrios and the "Boss" heard. "My, my, so this must be my Seer." He emphasized "my" more than Ren appreciated. His spectacled eyes drank in the sight of Ren's slender form. "These bruises..." His fingers ghosted over Ren's cheek. "Who did this!? Who dared to hurt my specimen!!?" The playful, flamboyant persona shattered, a deep fury burning in his black depths. "I'll see them executed!" Ren would've retaliated any other time at being called a "specimen" but he found himself retreating from the red-head's fury.

Awkwardly ignored, Kyrios began, "W-Well...you see...boss. I..."

"It was an accident." Ren intruded. "An unavoidable consequence, that no one could've prevented." At the word no one, his and Kyrios's eyes connected. He'd meant to make Kyrios feel better, but he felt like he'd hurt him worse.

He wasn't convinced, but he played ball all the same. "Alright!" The boss blared. "Everyone out, I'm gonna need some alone time with my newest acquaintance." The two other hunters, as well as Kyrios, all left the room. As he watched him leave, Ren wondered if it'd be the last time he'd see Kyrios. A deep pain stirred in his chest, and the mark on his neck burned. "Now...my little friend. My name is Mikhail. I'm the leader of this fair organization of hunters. And you are a Seer. A very powerful demon whom I would like to join our ranks. You'd be treated very fairly of course. As well as doing hunting duties, and training regiments, I'd also like to study your powers, before and after you enter the Immortal Period."

As the Boss called "Mikhail" continued on, Ren found himself confused. "Wait, Immortal Period?"

Stopping mid speech, Mikhail happily back up. "Yes, the immortal period, a stage when a demon's development matures and they retain whatever age they're at. Some live for thousands of years, others only a hundred. Depends on the demons strength really and you...you my dear Ren are a powerful one. Now, activate your power. I'd like to begin observation right away."

Scratching his face nervously, Ren admitted, "W-Well...I really don't know how. I-It only happens when I'm stressed out or when me and Kyrios have sex...." Realizing what he just admitted, he clamped his mouth shut, as though to actually force the words back in from where they came. "I-I...um..I didn't mean..." Mikhail raised an eyebrow.

"That scumbag half-demon...actually had sex with the mission. Trust him of all people." Mikhail yanked at the collar of Ren's shirt. "And I was just assuming that this was with the other bruises, but it's a mark." That anger returned once again, that dreadfully frightful fury that made devils cower in fear.

"N-No!!! I mean..it's not like..." Ren's brain analyzed and scrambled every way to keep the situation from escalating. Realizing his only option, his face turned a deep scarlet as he hung his head. "I-I came on...I came on to him...I begged him too...."

The scarlet haired man raised an eyebrow, Ren knew the word "slut" or some variation flashing through his mind. "Oh..." He finally said. "I see...well then..." He seemed flustered, without any words. "Let's just call this a day then. I'll research on ways to get your power activated. Report back to this very audience chamber tomorrow. We'll start from there."

Ren excused himself and hurried from the room, advancing down the long stretch of hall, and back toward the first chamber. He wondered where he should go upon exiting the room, but a sharp smack to his bottom cut his thoughts short. "H-Hey!" He almost yelped, spinning around greeted by a blue eyed gaze with a sharp smirk. "K-Kyrios..."

"I can't believe you told him we had sex. And more than that, you said you begged for it. You naughty little thing you." He wrapped his arms around Ren's waist, pushing his lips against the mark on his neck. "And you're so flustered and fuckable right now..." He purred.

"W-Why'd you wait for me?" Ren asked, shuddering as the raven-haired hunter trailed light kisses along his neck and shoulder.

"Cause, I figured you'd need a place to stay, and you'd have a hard time finding my room without me." He placed a soft nip just behind Ren's ear, enjoying the soft gasps he was earning. It was a delight to tease the boy.

Ren twisted his body in Kyrios's grip. "Y-You really mean it? I can...I can stay in your room?"

"Yeah, sure. You'll have to sleep on the couch but..." Ren's arms wrapped around his neck, pulling Kyrios into a hug. "Easy now, it's just a place to sleep. Don't read too much into it." A soft streak of crimson ran across his face. Kyrios then led Ren up the stairs, at a slow pace to make sure that Ren wasn't in pain since the boy had too much damn pride to be carried in public. They went up three floors, then advancing down the hallway to a room. Opening the door, Kyrios directed Ren inside of his rather basic apartment inside of the headquarters. Little more than a living room, bedroom and bath. Still, it was Ren's new home.

Turning, he wrapped his arms around Kyrios once more, pulling the solid frame close to his body. "I really, really wanna do it right now..." Kyrios pushed his lips against Ren's their tongues mingling in a heated dance for the second time of the day. His hand slid down Ren's back, wary of the bruises. Cupping Ren's ass, the accompanying wince of pain making his point clear, he pulled away.

"Get some sleep. You have a long day tomorrow." After laying out a blanket and pillow for Ren, Kyrios retreated to his room, where the little brunette captivated his thoughts for the rest of the night. Bringing himself to completion time and time again, thoughts filled with the slender framed boy, was not nearly enough. During his fifth session, subconsciously his hand darted up, pressing at the nape of his neck, intense heat flooding his body, his orgasm ripping out of him as his mind burned the image of Ren's teeth sinking into Kyrios's neck into his mind, the intense heat that emanated from that point spreading throughout his whole body. Swiping up the sticky substance that splattered on his tight belly, he cleaned the white cream with his tongue, rather enjoying his own taste, but imagining it was Ren's from their actions earlier that day.

The next day, Ren was thoroughly examined by Mikhail, who used every plausible method to force the activation of his powers. He tried angering, saddening, even sexual stimulation due to the accidental spilling Ren had done the day before. After hours upon hours of tiring experimentation, he was then sent to the gym to train with a few hunters in mock-combat. From there, he wasn't allowed to leave until ten o'clock at night, where he returned to his and Kyrios's room to get some sleep.

He looked toward the door, assured Kyrios was already asleep, but peeking inside couldn't hurt. He cracked the door open, careful not to make any noise as the door opened upon the empty room. Empty room? Where had Kyrios gone? He shrugged, assuming him to just be out for a little while, and he was too tired to try to look.

Cuddling into his covers, and falling into a deep slumber on the couch, he failed to notice the note by the couch that read, "Gone on a hunt, be back in a month. You can sleep on the bed."

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

Thanks to all who read and reviewed, sorry this one is a little later than usual, and it's a little short. The reason for this is because I was gonna integrate it with the next chapter, I decided to save it. Also, there was gonna be some smexin between Ren and Kyrios, but I decided it'd be forced, and I wanna make next chapter special (Cause its gonna be explosive in the next chapter) Anywho. Special thanks to littleolme KatFO and bj who gave me their nice reviews (Though I realize that last chapter was a little heartwrenching.) Not much to say this time, other than keep reading and keep enjoying. One IMPORTANT thing I should say is, for some reason the first time I upload a chapter, sometimes it doesnt go through, and the chapter shows up...with no text. If this happens, and you try to read the new textless chapter, just wait five minutes and I'll have it up. Dunno why it happens, just bare with me, and know I'm sorry when it happens. On to the preview

Preview: Trapped in his own maze of thoughts, Kyrios gets careless on an otherwise easy mission. Captured, chained, and near death, Kyrios ponders his needs for Ren. When the little demon comes to save the day however, Kyrios decides it's pointless to wait. Ren MARKS Kyrios, next chapter folks! They mark each other and have tons of hot sticky sex to make up for the rather smutless couple of chapters.
