7pm

Hanako turned his face away from the sunlight slanting in through his window, the golden rays slowly spilling across the bed. He made a soft noise and his golden eyes slitted open, blinking a few times before he smiled and looked out onto the rising day. He felt completely sore, the kind of soreness one acquires after a long period of vigorous exercise and he had never felt better. Even his breeding hole felt a little wearied, but then it had gotten more use in one night that it had in all his years of maturity. Avinash had hardly left it and he wouldn't be surprised if he was now permanently molded to the naga's cock. The naga must have been really frustrated; had his slave denied him for days? Maybe a week? He must have been without for some time, with the way he had made use of Hanako's body.

Hanako looked down at the one responsible for his various aches, and the messy state of his room, who was still asleep. The lord's head was pillowed on Hanako's stomach and his arms were wrapped around his wide hips. His hands, unsurprisingly, were gripping his ass. The naga could not seem to stop touching it. All night he had had his hands resting there, squeezing or just rubbing. Hanako had felt a little like bread dough towards the end with the way he was being kneaded. The breeder reached down and brushed back Avinash's hair from his face.

“My lord, it is morning. You will have to leave soon.” He murmured, “They will let you stay another hour with me, but any more and you will be charged again.” Hanako had more than just saving Avinash money in mind as he woke the naga; he hoped the demon might want to take him one more time before leaving. “They will also be expecting me to get started on my chores...”

Avinash slowly began to stir, nuzzling the soft and warm belly beneath him as his hands reflexively squeezed the soft cheeks they were still gripping. "Mmm..." He mumbled sleepily, not wanting to move just yet. But that soft voice pulled him back from his slumber and he squinted his eyes in the light, looking up at Hanako. He was just as sore as the incubus, only not in the same exact way. He had really given the little redhead all he had for most of the night until he was too exhausted to go any more. If that hadn't sated his sexual need, nothing could.

"I suppose I should be getting back home then..." He sighed, sitting up slowly and leaning in to kiss Hanako's lips gently. "You'll need this hour to clean up here I am sure. I'll try to visit you again soon, my dumpling." He then reluctantly pulled away, gathering up his clothing and getting dressed. He gave a long stretch and a yawn before running his hand through his messy red hair, trying to smooth it out with his fingers. "Thank you for your service, you were very pleasing to me. I'll make sure to put in the good word with your keepers." Then without another word the red naga made his way to the door and left, going to call a carriage and return to Akai's place. He hoped when he returned Soma would be wearing the dress he left with him and in better spirits.

~~~~

When Avinash finally returned he was indeed in a much better mood. He thought back on Akai's words to not return with a sour mood and the smile on his face was evidence of the wonderful night he had. He came into the house then, going to his room to change and check on his pet. As he slid the door open he noticed the room was empty, the dress he left for Soma was still laid out on the bed and the red sheets Soma had been wrapped in were gone. His eyes widened a bit. Perhaps Soma was elsewhere in the house. "Soma?" He called out, leaving the room and heading for the main living area. He idly wondered if Akai had gotten back home too and where everyone was.

Re: Hell (eiji)

“Avinash.” Akai was just returning from outside, coming in through the sliding doors that opened onto the back porch. He had headed inside upon hearing Avinash and now he gave the naga a concerned look. “Avinash, Soma has gone missing. It apparently happened sometime during the night, Kalim informed me when I arrived home. I have hired a team to search for him, but there has been no news yet.”

Akai sighed and shook his head. “I'm afraid my slave might be responsible for his disappearance...Apparently Kalim disobeyed me when I told him to leave Soma alone and he went to talk to him. Apparently they had a little fight with words and Kalim believes he upset Soma into leaving. Rest assured, he is being well punished for this.” Akai's lips thinned into an angry line as he turned and looked back over his shoulder at the dark skinned breeder who was tied face first to one of the large trees outside, naked. His back was stripped with whip marks and the rough bark of the tree abraded his front. “If anything happens to your slave, I will reimburse you for the expenses. It will not replace him, but perhaps you can find a new slave here...”

The moment Akai bore the bad news, Avinash's complexion immediately grew pale and the red naga stood there in shock, hardly able to let Akai's words sink in. He felt as if his stomach would come out of his throat, imagining Soma out there all alone in an unfamiliar place where Celestials were prone to attack. And even if the Celestials didn't find him, any other demon that came across such a frail, pretty thing like Soma would likely want to kidnap him or worse. And still there was the simple possibility of the slave dying of exposure, being alone in the surrounding forests wasn't a good fate for him either. Avinash quickly moved out onto the porch, seeing Kalim tied to a tree looking worse for wear. His hands balled into fists and his throat tightened as a mixture of horror and rage filled him. If Kalim hadn't been Akai's property, he had half a mind to beat him himself for upsetting Soma when the slave was already in such a fragile state.

He then took a few deep breaths, trying his level best to calm himself before he did something foolish. "There will be no need for compensation Akai. I will find Soma, alive, and bring him back. I swear to this." He said with determination in his voice. He then made way to throw on some warmer clothing, grabbing his sword and armor and strapping it on just to be safe and to protect Soma from harm when he found him. If his slave died he'd never forgive himself. "And thank you for sending a team to search. I'll send a messenger to the base camp and have some of my men look as well."

The naga then hastily headed out, not at all sure where he was going. He decided to check the woodlands first, slithering off in hopes of finding any clues. Footprints in the soil, scraps of red fabric from the sheets, anything at all. He even sniffed the air, knowing it was wishful thinking that he could catch Soma's scent. "Soma!" He called out in the most booming voice he could muster, making his way deeper and deeper into unfamiliar territory.

The hours passed and Avinash started to grow more and more anxious as his searching yielded no results. He had made his way down the river searching over the tree covered hills, through the fields, into the valleys and even through the surrounding villages. He had knocked on every door, asking the residents if they had seen Soma. No one knew a thing. The sun was finally beginning to set and the red naga finally stopped beside the river, exhausted from his endless searching, but refusing to give up. He continued on, calling out his slave's name until he barely had a voice left.

“He whose head is in the shadow of love...will have heaven beneath his feet...Walk in the shadow...walk in heaven...” His voice, as high and sweet as a silver bell, came born on the wind and the fragrance of azaleas. Soma was lying at the bottom of a small hill next to the river in a bed of the vivid red flowers. The red sheets were spread under him, part of it draped around his thin waist. His slender white arms were lifted, raised to the darkening sky and moving slowly through it in the gentle motions of a dance that the rest of him did not participate in. “Walk in the shadow...walk in the shadow...”

He lowered his arms until they were resting at his sides. He let out a deep sigh and closed his eyes. “So, you've found me. Time to drag me back home, is it? And to a leash, I assume.”

Re: Hell (eiji)

Avinash was about to give in to his grief as he continued on his search. He could no longer shout Soma's name, his throat too sore to make any further sound. Then on the wind he caught the faint scent of flowers and heard a beautiful singing voice. He followed the intoxicating melody over the crest of the hill and then his golden eyes filled with red as he gazed upon the flowers and his precious Soma, singing and moving his arms so freely, looking happy and peaceful for once. The sight nearly made the naga break down. He was so grateful Soma was alive and well, snuffing out all of his fears and anxieties.

He made his way carefully down the hill, sliding down next to Soma into the flowers and falling onto his back. He was truly exhausted and the stresses he felt that day seemed to have drained him, but for now he could relax. As Soma stopped singing and asked those few questions, all the naga could do was shake his head in a no gesture. He didn't know what he could say to Soma in that moment. All he wanted was to hear that lovely voice and just be in the presence of his slave, letting him be himself.

"Please don't stop singing..." He said in a whisper, unable to find his voice.

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by onichan01 on Today at 1:09pm

Soma gave a long suffering sigh and opened his eyes again. He ran his tongue across his lips before he began again, picking up the same song. “There's a friend who is like a sweet fragrance...Whose words are like poetry...Who is my evening , my night, my existence. That friend is my beloved.” He faltered on the last word, as if the final note choked him. He turned his head to the side to look at the flowers gently swaying by his head. “I know hundreds of love songs, but none have any meaning to me. I can read bars of complex music, but a simple child's book would be beyond my understanding.”

He reached out and traced one of the delicate blooms with the tip of his finger, watching it bend and spring back under his touch. “What is it like, master, to be educated? To know and understand things beyond the pleasuring of others? What is it like to wake up and know that your existence doesn't revolve around another man's cock, that you can accomplish more than just being an empty receptacle for seed? What is it like to know that you can act however you wish, do what you wish, with anyone you wish? What is it like to love how and who you want, to be able to call your lover by name instead of by title?” He crushed the flower in his fist then, grinding the petals against his palm. “What is it like to not be slave to your body and have your body enslaved to someone else? To have choices? What is freedom like, master? I think having you tell me is the closest I shall ever come to it.”

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by Butler Eiji on Today at 2:04pm

Avinash listened to Soma, that lilting voice the most beautiful he had ever heard. He had no idea his slave could sing, and it made him realize that he barely knew Soma at all. He had been so wrapped up in seeing the slave as a pet, as his property, that he never took the time to find out who Soma truly was as an individual. Then again, as a slave, Soma wasn't allowed to have much individuality. Avinash realized that he couldn't discipline his slave because he didn't understand Soma's unique needs. When the slave reached the end of the song he could hear the cracking of his voice and he looked over to Soma with concern.

"The fact that you question all of these things shows that you are highly intelligent. If you were not a slave, I am sure you'd be in a high position in our society. Perhaps you'd be a scholar or a musician. I understand now. I thought I could treat you like any other master would treat their slave, and I didn't take the time to find out who you truly are and what you need to be happy. I cannot change your lot in life, but I wanted to make you have a comfortable and happy one with me. I wanted to give you everything, spoil you rotten, and make you feel loved..."

The red naga paused for a moment, still mulling over Soma's words. "I am a slave too, in a sense. I must serve my king and my country, which means I have to go out and put my life on the line to fight dangerous battles. I never know if I will be returning home. But in exchange for such service, I do have many freedoms. I am wealthy and I can afford all the luxuries of someone who is free. But should I ever wish to leave my life as a warrior, I would be seen as a traitor and executed. I was born into my station, Soma. My father served the king and was his most loyal bodyguard. He had me for the explicit purpose of taking over that role if he died fulfilling his duties. My father was slain when there was an attempt on King Aadesh's life, and though I was still a boy, I was taken to be trained to fight. I was put in the military and slowly rose up the ranks. I do as King Aadesh commands, without question. If he needed me to take a blade for him, I would."

Avinash then sat up, leaning on his arms as he looked down at Soma and the crushed flower. "Akai gave me a boost in rank when the Grey General died. It was only because of that that I had enough money to have a slave like you. It meant a lot to me to go to the Hall of Jewels and finally have something truly precious. Yet, back then I only understood that having a slave was a status symbol, much like owning a nice piece of furniture. But you are not an inanimate thing. You are alive, vibrant, and beautiful beyond words. I just wanted to love you and nothing else... And perhaps my peers look down on me for that. I think Akai is disgusted with me for how laid back I was with you. How I treated you more like my equal. I let you speak to me freely, I let you do whatever you wanted. I gave you things without having you earn them."

Avinash then turned his gaze back to Soma, wishing he could reach out and stroke the curve of his pale cheek, but refraining. "If I could give you freedom, I would. I meant what I said when I told you I loved you. You are more than just a slave to me, Soma. But I cannot let the rest of the world see this. I just want things to be the way they were when you were happy..."

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by onichan01 on Today at 2:43pm

“Let me do whatever I wanted...” Soma snorted and laughed bitterly. “Yes, you let me...but when you caught me doing them, you beat me and had everything I was destroyed. Don't lie to me or whine to me about not being 'free'. You have no idea what true slavery is. You can say that if you leave try to leave the service, they'll kill you, but if you truly wanted to you could leave. The world is big; you could hide anywhere. I am trapped where I am, dependent on people like you. Even if I tried to run away...”

Soma sighed and sat up. “You insult me, trying to compare your life with mine. You are no slave, Avinash. You call no one master and there is no one waiting to beat you and destroy everything you have for every little thing. I am a slave. You are just playing at it. I have no choice but to be one.” The pale breeder pulled the sheets back up over himself again. “I was told once that a slave is happiest when he does no thinking beyond how to please his master. I see that they were correct.”

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by Butler Eiji on Today at 3:06pm

Avinash laid back against the earth again, looking up at the darkening sky with furrowed brows. "I have done everything wrong. I was wrong to beat you when you were enjoying your time with Kalim. I took it too far and I can never undo what I have done. And as for the second punishment, I warned you ahead of time that it would be in Akai's hands. You got me thrown out of that clothing store when I had every intention of buying you beautiful robes to match the ruby jewelry. Everything would have been fine had you just come to me first." The naga couldn't help but feel his own bitterness as Soma always placed all of the blame entirely on him.

"Am I just supposed to let you roll around, fighting another man's slave? No matter the reasons, you made us both look bad that day. If I cannot control you, you must at least learn to control yourself." Avinash gave a heavy sigh, feeling as if he was getting nowhere with Soma. "I will give you back the things you lost, little by little. But you have to at least try to behave in public or around my peers. That is all I ask of you. Behind closed doors you can go back to doing what you please, but if I ask something simple of you and you do it, I will reward you. I know you need me to survive, and the longer you fight me, the harder it will be for both of us."

The red naga then turned to look at Soma once more, his gaze firm and steady. "But if you want freedom, then you will have to face the consequences on your own. The world is a dangerous place everywhere you go. Someone can pick you up and abuse you, rape you, or pawn you off to some unscrupulous demons. You can wind up succumbing to madness and starving to death... But if you desire to be free, then by all means, stay here among the flowers, sing and be merry for as long as you can. I'll return to an empty home forever worrying about you."

“So those are my choices? Slavery or death?” Soma snorted and rolled his eyes. “Well, I suppose suicide would be the only major life decision I get to make, wouldn't it.” The incubus shook his head, refusing to look at the naga.

“Very well, then. Go back home. If I decide to live, I will return to you and we'll resume my life of slavery.” Soma shrugged, “If not, then you will not see me again.”

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by Butler Eiji on Today at 3:40pm

"Those are the only choices you ever had from the time you were born. I did not decide this fate for you. We each have our lot in this life..." Avinash then got up, feeling heavy hearted but he would let Soma decide what he wanted to do. He could not tell Akai or anyone about this.

"Should you return, I will not be at Akai's place. I found a home for us atop a hill. It is surrounded by flowers and shrubbery, overlooking the river. If you follow the river back north, you will find it." He said as he pointed in the right direction. "I will wait outside on the balcony facing the river and keep watch for you for an entire day. After that I will assume you won't be coming back. But if you do return at any time, the doors will be open to you, even if I am not there."

The armor clad demon gave one last glance at his little bundle that lay amongst the flowers, all wrapped up. His eyes watered but he turned away, slowly making his way back to Akai's. "Farewell."

~~~

By the time Avinash arrived back at Akai's place it was pitch black out. He had informed the basilisk and the search teams that Soma was not found, and wished to have the search called off. His expression was grim, and a few of his men wondered if the naga had found the slave dead somewhere but was simply not telling them.

For the rest of the night Avinash had his men move his things out of Akai's house and into his own, finally giving Akai his peace and privacy back. Avinash remained on his balcony, wrapped in thick blankets as he looked out towards the river, praying Soma would return to him. In his exhaustion, his weary eyes finally closed and he fell into an uncomfortable sleep.

****

Two days had passed and Iruka had no luck getting his quality time with Ozai the night Akai abruptly left him. The next day came and went uneventfully and the blue incubus hadn't had a single customer. He couldn't help but feel cheated, and bored on top of it all. Even Hanako got more action than he did and he couldn't help but be jealous.

As Iruka trudged down the hall he suddenly bumped into a broad chest and warm body rounding a corner. He looked up with a tired and dull expression on his face as he realized he had bumped into Shaolai, the other stud feeder. The demon was quite tall, with long, sandy blonde hair braided over his shoulder and skin colored a peachy tan. His eyes were like liquid gold surrounded by a sea of black. He was quite the beauty, and he was not at all shy about that fact.

"What's the matter with you? You look rather morose." Shaolai asked, crossing his arms and quirking a curious brow at the blue incubus as he waited for an answer.

"Eh, what's it to you?" He grumbled, not having enough energy to say anything witty at the moment. "I just need to get laid or something."

"Well, I'm currently going out to the garden to get some fresh air and have myself a break. But if you need to feed, you know where to find me later."

"Who said I wanted to feed from you?" The incubus smirked, sliding past the demon to continue on his way.

Shaolai shook his head then. Iruka was such a moody thing, he wondered if the blue demon was ever happy. "If you're looking for Ozai, he's in his usual spot working out."

Iruka gave a nod then and made a b-line for the exit, knowing exactly where the redhead would be. "Thanks Shaolai!" He waved, perking up immediately as he headed out to see Ozai. He hoped he was topless and sweaty... The blue incubus couldn't hide his perverted grin.

Start of Deleted Scene - Iruka and Ozai

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by onichan01 on Today at 6:24pm

Ozai was in the usual place he chose to do his exercises in, one of the seven courtyards of the Garden that was landscaped in varying shades of green. This part of the garden was actually where most of the herbs that were used for medicines and food were grown, which was why Ozai enjoyed it. The air was redolent with their aromas and the redheaded stud found it relaxing.

The feeder was wearing very little indeed, dressed only in a simple black silk fundoshi that was embroidered with golden flowers on the front, despite how close to winter the season approached. The gardens were in the full embrace of autumn, the leaves on the trees a riotous explosion of red and gold. Ozai was practicing one of the martial arts the Gardeners had him trained in, so he would be able to defend himself somewhat should the worst happen. He had obviously been at it for some time, judging by the high color in his cheeks and the layer of sweat glistening on his golden skin and highlighting every hard ridge of muscle on his body. His long red hair, which was usually in a loose braid, was pulled back in a high, tight ponytail.

“Iruka, what brings you here?” Ozai asked when he noticed the blue breeder approaching. It was hard not to notice him. He paused and turned to face him, his eyebrow cocked curiously.

5pm

Iruka couldn't stop the blood from filling his face and making his cheeks turn a darker shade of purple as he caught sight of Ozai wearing that barely-there fundoshi. This was even better than topless and the slender incubus was grateful for his flowery yukata and billowy obi bow hiding his growing erection. Ozai was perhaps the only demon that had that effect on him and he felt weak in the knees the moment the feeder turned to speak to him.

"Oh! I uh, was just coming to pick some herbs to refill the tea stock. We're running a bit low on the juniper tea leaves." He lied, making any excuse he could just to be close to the demon. "Not like I have anything else to do, I haven't had any clients since that jerk two nights ago. Would you like me to get you a glass of water? You look awfully hot." He managed to avoid his perverted grin, keeping a completely straight face.

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by onichan01 on Today at 6:48pm

“No, but thank you. Actually, I should probably be going to get cleaned up.” Ozai stretched and then walked over to the bench to pick up his towel. He started drying himself off, wiping the sweat from his face and chest. “Well, I'll leave you to it, then. Have fun and try not to stay out too long. You wouldn't want to catch a chill.”

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by Butler Eiji on Today at 6:56pm

Iruka's eyes widened a bit and he couldn't help but feel a wave of disappointment. He just got there and Ozai was leaving! "U-um wait! Ozai..." He sighed then, clasping his hands together and looking down a moment as his tail anxiously shifted side to side. "I didn't really come here to pick tea, I just wanted to see you. I guess I am just bored and lonely, but you always cheer me up so..."

He then looked back up at the demon as he dried himself with his towel. "Want help cleaning up? I can wash your back." He said, all too eager to do said task. "I know you're usually busy and all, so I just want to make things easier for you." He then put on his most charming smile, hoping that would win the redhead over.

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by onichan01 on Today at 7:17pm

Ozai gave Iruka a skeptical look, clearly not believing that the breeder was just trying to be selfless. He sighed and put a hand on his hip. “Iruka, I can't sleep with you today, my schedule is packed and your appointment isn't until later in the week. Dia is finally ready to be bred and that's going to eat up most of my day. You know how the Gardner’s feel about 'wasting seed'.” Ozai rolled his eyes and sighed. Normally the restrictions on the stud were fairly light, but once a breeder was ready to receive him, the Gardeners cracked down on how he spent his day. Understandable, given his track record. Aside from Shaolai, he was the top stud in the Garden, producing seven golden lotuses out of every ten and on more than one occasion, twins. Maru and Miru were the product of one of his couplings and the Gardeners were ever hopeful of another perfect pair like them. Only Shaolai had managed to outdo him once with triplets.

“I suppose if you have no ulterior motives, I'll let you join me...” Ozai spoke, giving Iruka a meaningful look. “But keep your hands off my cock, alright?”

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by Butler Eiji on Today at 7:48pm

Iruka bowed his head quickly and then began walking over to Ozai. "I understand, no funny business! This is strictly hygiene and friendly time." He nodded, content to at least be able to spend some time with the redheaded stud. It was better than being alone for a third day in a row.

As they made their way through the courtyards towards the garden's bath house, he couldn't help but feel happy, at least a little. It was a fleeting emotion that he rarely had, but when he was with Ozai, everything seemed better. It made him stop thinking so much and just relax. Iruka truly hated being a slave, and was resentful of the fact that the very nature of his genes made him so undesirable. Everyone loved the pale, blonde breeding slaves the most and he was so unusual in his features that most were turned off by it. Sometimes he cursed his blue skin and oddly colored hair and eyes. He would never have a ribbon around his neck or a master to care for him. And to make matters worse, he'd never have children. It was as if everything was wrong with him, and there were many times he wondered why he even existed.

But the moments he shared with Ozai, even if it was just to feed, he couldn't help but be content. The redheaded demon was so beautiful from every angle, and he had such a sweet face and lovely air about him. The fact he even gave Iruka the time of day meant so much to the incubus. As they came upon the bathhouse he quickly opened the large sliding door for Ozai, treating the feeder as if he was a master despite the fact Ozai was also a slave. He smiled brightly then once the other was in before entering himself.

The bathhouse was a rather grand building with several large open rooms where slaves could bathe together, as well as corridors leading to private rooms where the slaves could serve masters in very upscale accommodations. The air smelled sweet and fragrant, a mix of all the various floral soaps they had at their disposal. The ceiling was high and there were tiny windows allowing the humid air to vent. The walls were painted with scenes of springs and mythical dragons, water nymphs, and beautiful lotus flowers. The floors were made of bamboo as were the walls, giving the interior an earthy feel, but the baths themselves were made of stone, inlaid in the ground like shallow pools.

Then there was the bath reserved for the feeders. Ozai and Shaolai were lucky enough to have their own private bath as a gift from the Garden owners for their hard work. Around the stone pool were various soaps, wash cloths folded neatly, and marble dragon that had water pouring from its mouth into the water for decoration. The water was well maintained by servants, always kept clean and heated. Iruka was eager to slip in, knowing a hot bath would be prefect for unwinding. "You and Shaolai are so lucky to get this bath! I always wind up in the big tub with the noisy children having water fights." He chuckled, shaking his head as he undid his obi and let it slide to the floor. His robes easily slid off and he quickly made his way into the water, hiding any evidence of his excitement to be near Ozai. He then let his hair loose, allowing it to flow free from its usual confinement.

The blue demon then swam over to the other side of the tub, reaching for a wash cloth and looking at the various soaps. "Hmmm, what one is your favorite?"

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by onichan01 on Today at 8:16pm

“I suppose...they want to make it look like we're being pampered, but it's really just to keep us from getting too close with the other slaves. Sometimes I wish I could bathe with the others...maybe do more with the children I've sired aside from watch them from afar.” Ozai muttered as he stripped off his fundoshi and threw the black scrap of cloth on the floor. A servant would more than likely pick it up later, when the tub was cleaned. With it off, the feeder only got more impressive; it was a wonder the fundoshi had been able to contain anything at all. The redhead pulled out his ponytail and shook his long hair out before he waded into the hot water. He took a seat on the bench that lined the wall of the tub and relaxed, leaning back against the edge.

“I don't really have a favorite. Anything that doesn't smell too flowery is fine.” He answered and closed his eyes, letting his head fall back. The hot water really was relaxing and he could already feel the tension in his muscles easing after his hard workout. “I'm surprised you have any spare time, Iruka. Aren't you supposed to be helping the others get ready for the coming winter festival?”

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by Butler Eiji on Today at 8:40pm

Iruka pulled the corks from several bottles of soap and smelled each one until he found one that seemed just perfect, pouring a bit onto the cloth and rubbing the rough fabric together to lather it up before wading back over to Ozai. To some extent, he could imagine how the demon must have felt about being separated from the other slaves and from his own offspring. The Gardeners kept Ozai and Shaolai so busy it was amazing they got to spend any non-sexual time with any of the slaves at all, making Iruka even more grateful to be with the feeder for the moment.

"I didn't go..." The incubus sighed, holding up the cloth and spinning a finger for Ozai to turn around so he could wash his back first. "And yesterday I was trying to lay low after a little mishap. I got into a bit of trouble the night before last with a Master. He left abruptly and he was quite angry, but he didn't report me thankfully. I guess I just haven't been in a very festive mood since then. Maybe I'll go help out later, I don't want to get in trouble..."

“I thought maybe it was just your aversion to work that kept you from going.” Ozai smirked as he turned around for Iruka. He folded his arms and rested his head on them at the edge of the tub again. “You know, you won't be able to hide forever. Eventually one of the Gardeners will realize you've been ducking out on chores.”

Iruka gave a little snort then as he started to run the cloth along Ozai's back, massaging as he worked in hopes of relaxing the demon's muscles even more. "It's so tedious sewing all those costumes for the children. And I have a knack for pricking my fingers on those blasted needles. Do you know how long it takes to sew a million little sparkly white sequins onto fabric so it looks all glittery? Sure looks nice but it sucks to make." He grumbled. "It grows old after a few years... I wish they'd let me do something else."

As the blue incubus worked he started to scrub lower, moving dangerously close to Ozai's rear. As much as he'd love to pay close attention to that area and give that nice rump a good squeeze, he behaved himself and stayed in the safe zones. "You know, I think you're getting more muscly each day. You're looking really good." He grinned, changing the subject. "I think Hanako should do what you do, he's getting chunky." He giggled, moving Ozai's hair aside as he began to wash one of the demon's shoulders. "You can face me now and I'll do the front too."

“You stop picking on Hanako, he's just fine the way he is. Actually, he's got a rather cute figure. It can be quite enjoyable watching him walk away...” Ozai smirked while he turned back around and leaned back against the all of the tub. “You know, I actually saw Shaolai deliberately drop the calligraphy brushes he was carrying just so he could watch Hanako bend over and pick them up. It's a good thing he can be so oblivious, Shaolai wasn't exactly subtle about his staring and Hanako was wearing a really short kimono...”

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by Butler Eiji on Today at 9:49pm

Iruka rolled his eyes and began working on Ozai's collar bone and chest, making circular motions with the cloth and now and then feeling it run over his nipples as they grew hard. "All right, I can't deny he has a cute ass. That's pretty funny though, about Shaolai. I guess that proves my suspicions all along that he's an ass man." He chuckled, shaking his head a bit as he started to move the cloth lower, caressing the sturdy network of muscles all along Ozai's abdomen. "Jeeze, how many of these things do you got now?" He joked, poking his abs playfully. He then moved lover, trying to be careful to avoid Ozai's groin as much as he could, skipping then to his thighs.

"You know I heard Hanako had that red naga general from Gehenna pay for him all night. You should have seen the look on his face all day yesterday, he was in la la land. I had to serve that guy at dinner too earlier that night. He must've been good. Too bad he didn't pick me." Iruka enjoyed keeping the gossip going, trying to distract himself as he tried not to think about how much he wanted to sit in Ozai's lap and ride him like a slave that hadn't fed in a year.

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by onichan01 on Today at 9:59pm

“Well, good for him. He hardly ever gets clients, I think you get more than him. He seems to see me or Shaolai more than anyone else. And the ones who do see him don't always treat him well...They see so much Ferali in him and don't realize how delicate he can be.” Ozai sighed and shook his head. “I'm sure it's the same for you too. I wish you both would find some nice masters, although I would miss having you around. It would be comforting to know you were being taken care of, however. It's too bad we don't get more foreign visitors who would be interested in slaves like you.”

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by Butler Eiji on Today at 10:10pm

Iruka's smile faded as Ozai showed his compassion towards his and Hanako's situation. He cupped his hands under the water then and worked to rinse the soap from Ozai's skin, looking up at him with a touch of sadness in his eyes. "I don't think we will ever have masters. Although maybe that red naga will buy Hanako, he seemed to like him enough. Hanako told me he wanted to come back for more visits. He's so lucky!" Iruka did feel a bit happy for the voluptuous slave, as much as he was also jealous.

"His companion was interested in me too until I blew it. I guess I lost my only chance. Apparently I was a little too forward and it upset him. Then again, I suppose it's good that it happened, I wouldn't want a master who is so silent and strict like that white naga was. He had a blindfold on too which I thought was odd. All I did was kiss his neck and touch his shoulders..." He sighed. "He was so pissed that he shoved me off and said I was wretched. Can you believe that? And after I played my banhu for him almost the entire night until I felt like my arm would fall off." He huffed. "I think I'd rather just stay here with you. Life here isn't the best but it's not so bad either, at least you and Shaolai accept me, and I have Hanako and all the little munchkins around here to keep me company."

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by onichan01 on Today at 10:22pm

“I'd be happy if you stayed here forever too, Iruka.” Ozai smiled and reached up to take the blue breeder's hands in his. “It would certainly be less interesting if you weren't around and I would really miss listening to you play. Besides, you're practically a landmark here. These blondies are a dime a dozen, but you're the only one here so unique. Everyone recognizes you as soon as they see you.” The redhead smirked and leaned forward to press a kiss to the breeder's cheek.

“You're beautiful, Iruka.” He murmured, “I wish there were more like you.”

End of Deleted Scene- Iruka and Ozai

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by onichan01 on Today at 1:41pm

The residential slave halls that made up the entire eastern wing of the Garden were the busiest during the day. Slaves who couldn't be sold and now worked for the Garden resided in the lowest quarters, that were also the brothels. Above them were the children's rooms, the young slaves in training who had not yet reached a mature age to be sold. Above them were the Garden Breeders, the breeder slaves the Garden held back from the auction stage for their own stock; some of the finest slaves, the ones who would have garnered the highest prices were kept here, well pampered and spending their days however they chose and sometimes that was in the arms of the most valuable slaves who lived in the suites above them. Then there were the feeder slaves, who were responsible for keeping all these slaves from succumbing to starvation. A few of them were also responsible for the Garden's prime stock. The Garden's studs were so highly prized, they weren't even allowed to leave the Garden for fear that rival slave halls would try to steal or kill them. However, there wasn't much to want outside the Garden; they were by far the most pampered of all, having an entire suite to themselves and only having to share it with another stud, with servants and lower slaves at their beck and call.

Ozai was one of the Garden's top studs and seducer of the lower slaves. With golden skin wrapped around a well-muscled body, long red hair, and a kind, handsome face, he was one of the favorites among the residential slaves. He also had an excellent track record as a stud, producing golden lotuses every six out of ten times and on more than one occasion, twins. Maru and Miru, one of the most successful set of twin golden lotuses, had been the product of his virile loins. The only one to ever outdo him was his suitemate, mentor and fellow stud, Shaolai, with triplets.

“Hey, what are you looking at?” Ozai had spied his suitemate on the balcony, staring raptly at something over the edge. This was their weekly day off and Ozai was spending it his usual way; lazing about and eating. Currently he had about a dozen grilled chicken skewers in his hand, the tender meat covered in a sweet red sauce. Feeders generally consumed massive amounts of food to keep up their energy, being one of the few types of slaves who needed physical sustenance to live instead of ethereal. He walked over and peered over the edge of the balcony to see what had his elder so enthralled and say Hanako, on his hands and knees, digging out herbs. The breeder was wearing a short kimono for his work and his tail was causing it to ride up, giving whoever happened by a nice eyeful. Ozai snorted and rolled his eyes, taking another bite of one of his skewers. “I should have known. You never pay attention to anything as well as you do that breeder's ass.”

Ozai nudged his comrade playfully and smirked up at him. “The way you stare at him sometimes, you look like a lovesick idiot. Or maybe just a horny idiot.” The redhead took another bite and looked back down. He wasn't above enjoying the view himself. “Plotting how to get up close and personal with that?”

Shaolai felt Ozai nudge him and gave a chuckle, shaking his head as he turned his gaze away from the fine view momentarily to look back at Ozai. "Is that any way to speak to your elder?" He laughed, reaching out to steal one of the chicken skewers from Ozai and tearing into it with a smug grin. "Mmm, chicken and a hot piece of ass down below. Days just can't get much better than this." Shaolai then turned his gaze back to Hanako, his eyes a rich gold in a sea of black.

He was one of the oldest studs in the Garden, having been there only a few decades after the place had been built. He had sired many fine golden lotuses in his days there, and he'd seen many of his children blossom into beautiful adults and fetch high prices at auction. He had even raised Ozai from the time he was a child, teaching him practically everything he knew as he grew old enough to begin his task of feeding and breeding slaves. There were plenty of times he took the lessons into the bedroom and taught Ozai in the most intimate ways possible. After all, the art of love making needed to be taught by example. As the redhead grew up he couldn't help but be fond of him and he had made the request for Ozai to be his suitemate several years back. It was a decision he did not regret, as he and the other feeder became good friends and partners in crime when it came to being playful with the various live-in slaves. Neither of them were shy about having what they wanted, especially on their free time.

Shaolai idly stroked his long braid as he continued watching Hanako work. He was a rather tall demon, standing higher than most who resided at the garden. His grand stature and golden, tanned skin went nicely with his long, exquisitely kept sandy blonde hair, making him a little imposing to the smaller slaves. Unlike Ozai, he had much smaller ears that came to a little point, and small horns that gave him a rather regal appearance. With his charming smile he easily won over the hearts of many of the low-bred slaves that came to him to feed. But of all of them, Hanako was his favorite.

"What is not to love about that ass? Of all the slaves here Hanako has the finest bum I've ever laid eyes on. It's so voluptuous and round... I just want to be down there squeezing those cheeks." He practically purred. "I'm sure it wouldn't be hard for me to get into Hanako's bed either. I could get him to put his chores on hold, maybe take him to the bath house to wash up... have a little fun with him. And what about you? Do you have any plans for today or you just going to eat and hang around up here all day?" He grinned, snatching another skewer from Ozai with lightening reflexes.

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by onichan01 on Yesterday at 11:27pm

“So what if I lay around and eat all day? It's my day off, I'll spend it how I want.” Ozai sniffed, turning away a little to protect his disappearing chicken skewers. “Besides, you always spend your days off with Hanako. You've practically mated the breeder. Better be careful the Gardeners don't think you're favoring him. You know how they feel about us playing favorites...Otherwise Hanako's name will be going in someone else's appointment book from now on.”

The redhead idly reached up and scratch the tip of one of his large pointed ears while he stuck another skewer in his mouth. “You know, I heard some naga the other night had him and really enjoyed him; talked to one of the Gardeners about becoming his regular. I don't think Hanako's ever had one of those. Think he might buy him?” Ozai slanted a look up at the older slave questioningly. “What would you do if he took him, Shaolai?”

Re: Hell (eiji)

5pm

Shaolai walked over and plopped down on a cushion in front of a short table, getting comfortable as he finished off the chicken he stole. "I try to be discreet about it. I wouldn't want the Gardener's to get any ideas either, but I guess it's obvious I favor Hanako. I really do like him, he's the sweetest, most affectionate slave here. I think because he's not that popular he never had the chance to become a snob like many of the lotuses."

What Ozai said next caused the feeder's golden eyes to narrow a bit. "A naga master has taken interest in him? They aren't common in Beseine..." His brows furrowed, clearly he was not happy to hear such news. "If he tries to buy Hanako... I'll find a way to prevent it. I've been here a long time, I'm sure I can pull some strings."

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by onichan01 on Yesterday at 11:45pm

“Would you really do that? Keep him from getting a master?” Ozai blinked in surprise, going to join Shaolai back indoors. “You know that's all he's ever wanted, was to have a nice master. And from what I heard, that naga really treated him right, in more than one way. The little breeder was over the moon the next day.”

The redhead shrugged and finished off his last skewer, tossing the sticks into the trash and then sprawling himself out on one of the couches. “It's too bad you can't just mate him. I don't think the Gardeners would be too happy about it… They'd probably want you with one of the purebreds, if they even let you pick one to settle down with. Although...don't they let the older studs do that if they want? Become a mated pair with one of the purebreds...I thought my sire was one of those.”

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by Butler Eiji on Yesterday at 11:55pm

Shaolai chewed on the wooden skewer and leaned his chin on his hand as he leaned over the table. "Jeeze, when you put it that way it makes me come off terribly selfish. But I guess you're right... I hate being the jealous third wheel, and I wouldn't want to ever hurt Hanako and crush his dreams. He does deserve the best." He sighed. "It wouldn't be the same around here without him though... I don't know what I'd do." The thought was rather depressing and Shaolai had never before had to think of such a thing, figuring Hanako would always be his plump little pleasure.

"It is true, my status and age here would permit me to take a purebred mate. There's only one problem with that." He pulled the stick from his mouth then and laid back against the floor, putting his arms behind his head. "I don't love any of them. Sure, I've produced triplets with one, and many other successful births came of it, but I don't particularly feel anything special for any of them. And Hanako had told me he's sterile, even if I could mate him he'd never be able to conceive. And the Gardener's wouldn't want me to mingle with such a mixed breed in that way. It just isn't meant to be. Though I hope to live to see the day when mixed breeds are seen as valuable. I do believe they are heartier genetic stock, but everyone wants the blondies."

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by onichan01 on Today at 3:50pm

“You're a blondie too, or did you forget?” Ozai raised an eyebrow at the other, “And it's not just that he's mixed, it's that a lot of what he's mixed with is Ferali and that's about the bottom. No one really wants anything with Ferali in it. Although I think he's cute in a way, kinda like a cat. I suppose you not wanting to settle down works out for the Gardeners; I don't think they want to keep you confined to one breeder either.”

Ozai yawned and stretched, then climbed to his feet again. “Well, I think I'm going to go for a walk and then head to the spa to see if I can get something cute to give me a nice massage.” He grinned and started heading for the door. “Have fun with Hanako. Tell your 'mate' I said hi.”

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by Butler Eiji on Today at 8:14pm

Shaolai laughed and sat back up, grabbing his skewers and getting up to toss them in the trash as he gave a stretch, glancing back at Ozai. "You got me on that one." He smirked, shaking his braid at the other feeder playfully. When Ozai then mentioned Hanako's Ferali genetics he merely shook his head. "I know, it's unfortunate that any slave with Ferali traits is so frowned upon, but I think those traits make him so adorable. He has a wild look yet he's very cute and childlike, I think that mix of feral animal with innocent youth are what I find so sexy about him. Guess I just have weird tastes." He chuckled, heading back to the balcony to peek out and see Hanako still down below working.

Ozai's last sentence made him turn a moment as he saw the redhead leave to have his own fun. He face softened and a sad smile graced his lips. "My mate, huh? I guess he is. At least, I want him to be..."

After Ozai had left, Shaolai threw on one of his long, floral overcoats and headed out to greet Hanako while the slave was still there. He was always careful how he acted around the slave when out and about where others could see, especially any of the Gardeners that passed through on business. "Oh, hello Hanako." He smiled, pretending as if he hadn't already known the little redhead was there. "It's a beautiful day today. And I must say, that yukata looks quite lovely on you."

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by onichan01 on Today at 9:22pm

Hanako jerked up in surprise, so engrossed in his task of picking herbs that he had completely lost track of his surroundings. He dropped his shovel in his startled state and it tipped over his basket. He turned to look up at Shaolai, his cheeks going bright red when he saw the handsome feeder. He smiled, feeling warmth spread through his body under Shaolai's smile; the other slave always seemed to have that effect on him. Hanako reached up and brushed back a loose lock of red hair from his face, leaving a streak of dirt on his cheek.

“Oh, hello Shaolai. I didn't hear you come up...Are you out for a walk?” He asked, looking up at the blond through his lashes shyly. Was it Shaolai's day off? He couldn't remember. If it was, maybe the feeder would ask him to join him on his stroll. The little breeder loved those walks with Shaolai and he looked forward to them more than anything else. He looked down at his clothing, the short, slightly dirty yukata that he usually wore for work in the garden. “Ah, thanks...It's just an old thing I wear when I go digging in the dirt. You look handsome, as usual. Did you get a new coat?”

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by Butler Eiji on Today at 9

4pm

Shaolai knelt down to help Hanako pick up the herbs that had fallen from his overturned basket. The little breeder was always so clumsy and bashful, but that was another reason he found Hanako so endearing. "Yes, it's my day off so I thought I'd take a nice long walk, and perhaps a hot bath a little later. Would you care to join me?" He asked as he stood back up and reached out to wipe the dirt from Hanako's cheek with a thumb, taking that moment to stroke the little demon's face affectionately. He could see how much he made the redhead blush and feel the heat in his face. He couldn't help but glance at those soft pink lips, so tempted to claim them with his own.

"And no, this coat isn't new. I have so many that I could likely wear a different one every day for an entire year." He chuckled. "If you've been here as long as I have you'd accumulate a lot of clothing too."

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by onichan01 on Yesterday at 10:04pm

“Oh, yeah...I guess I forget how old you are sometimes.” Hanako's blush deepened when Shaolai brushed the dirt off his cheek, warm tingles spreading across his skin from the contact. Shaolai's hands were so soft, but strong. Noble hands, the kind that hadn't seen a day of work in their life. Not like his. He frowned a little when he caught sight of his dirty fingers and he curled them up to hide them from sight. He unconsciously licked his lips, the tip of his tongue dragging across them sensuously before he looked back up at the blond slave. His heart sped up in his chest when he heard the invitation and he quickly got to his feet.

“I would love to join you. It's really a nice day for one, the weather is fairly mild for this time of year and the leaves are so pretty right now...” He trailed off, looking away bashfully when he realized he was babbling. He forgot his dirty hands and pushed his hair back from his face again, a nervous gesture, leaving more streaks of dirt across his face. He worried his bottom lip between his teeth and smiled shyly up at Shaolai, twisting the hem of his short yukata in his hands. “I mean...I'd be honored to accompany you.”

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by Butler Eiji on Yesterday at 10:27pm

Shaolai smiled down at the nervous little breeder. "Excellent, I'm sure you could use a break too. You've gathered quite a few herbs." He grinned, noticing how Hanako tried to hide his hands and then smudged more dirt across his face. He then pulled a silk handkerchief from his robes, wiping the little demon's face again and gently taking one of Hanako's hands into his own, rubbing it between his own with the cloth to clean as much dirt off as he could. He then took the other one and did the same. "You kept smudging that beautiful face of yours." He chuckled, unable to help himself. "There that's better." Once he finished he shook the cloth out and tucked it back away, gently taking Hanako's hand back into his own to guide the little demon.

"There is something I'd like to show you." He said gently, leading the way deeper into the garden until they came upon trellises covered in deep red roses that wrapped around the wood and arched high above the ground. As they walked under it they came upon a large koi pond surrounded by more colorful flowers and small trees. A few colorful leaves fluttered to the earth as a strong breeze blew in, reminding Shaolai that winter was coming. He'd miss the lush vegetation and flowers once the snow came. The tall feeder then sat on the smooth, flat stones that bordered the edge of the pond, looking around to make sure no one was near. He then patted a spot beside himself for Hanako.

"This is my favorite place in the Garden. I remember when they first put this pond here. I love watching the fish, it's very relaxing. So I come here every day to think when I have some time to myself. There is something I've been thinking about a lot lately that I can't seem to get off my mind." He turned to gaze at the redhead then, reaching out to tuck away a lock of Hanako's hair behind his ear as he leaned closer, his face a few inches from the smaller demon's. "It's you Hanako... you are always on my mind these days."

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by onichan01 on Yesterday at 10:47pm

Hanako blushed furiously while Shaolai cleaned him up, feeling like he was five again with the older demon. It seemed the blond had always been a presence in his life, from when he was a toddler to now, when he was matured and could actually do something about the infatuation he had with the feeder. Not that he would ever do anything so bold as to throw himself at Shaolai, but he was certainly a more than active participant during their times together. He kept his eyes lowered while Shaolai took his hand and lead him deeper into the garden, sneaking glances up at the other's strong, beautiful profile every now and then. His heart fluttered every time, like a butterfly caught in his chest and he really hoped Shaolai was taking him someplace for a little alone time.

His hopes rocketed upward when Shaolai guided him into a fairly secluded section of the garden and motioned for him to take the seat next to him on the bench. He did so eagerly, looking up at Shaolai with adoration in his golden eyes. His breath caught in his throat when Shaolai moved in close to him, his eyes dropping to the lush curve of the handsome demon's mouth, his own trembling in anticipation of those soft, firm kisses he'd had so many times before. He could already almost taste the older demon, the sweetness of him, like his favorite sugar candy. He was so lost in this daydream that he almost didn't hear what Shaolai said next.

“I...uh, what?” Hanako stuttered in dumb shock, his gaze jerking up to meet Shaolai's eyes. He stared up at the older demon in stunned silence for several seconds, his mouth opening and closing like a koi fish before he finally managed to gather his wits together again. “You...y-you've been thinking about me?”

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by Butler Eiji on Yesterday at 11:55pm

Shaolai could hear the surprise in Hanako's voice and he wasted no time in seizing the moment, pressing his lips firmly to the smaller demon's and letting his tongue slide into the other's mouth as he pulled Hanako's small, yet voluptuous form against his own. It had been far too long that he held back, and he wondered if it was his conversation with Ozai earlier that finally gave him the courage to finally let Hanako know exactly how he felt. As he deepened the kiss then he slowly pushed Hanako back against the stone bench, covering the demon with his body before be pulled back a little.

His golden hair hung down at either side of Hanako's face and the taller demon was panting slightly, his cheeks reddened with desire. "You are the one I want Hanako. I know that I cannot actually have you, the Gardeners would never allow it. But I want you to be my mate for life." He then leaned in to kiss the redhead's lips again, stroking his face and pressing up against him between his ample thighs. There was a definite bulge forming under his hakama pants, pressing urgently into Hanako's thigh. "Of all the slaves here in the Garden, you're the only one I have ever been with that I feel at peace with. It's so comfortable and natural with you. You're so pure and innocent, so lovely... I love you Hanako, please... tell me that you accept my feelings."

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by onichan01 on Today at 12:17am

“Mmm!” Hanako gasped in surprise when Shaolai suddenly attacked his mouth, but he quickly melted under the bigger demon, his eyes fluttering shut and a groan welling up in his throat. He unconsciously slid his arms up and around Shaolai's neck, pressing his body as close to the other's as he could, feeling the warmth of him even through his heavy coat. He moved easily with the other demon, barely noticing when his back hit the bench. His legs parted automatically, cradling the larger demon between his soft thighs, his body answering the urgent call of Shaolai's own.

He stared up at the blond slave in a daze, his golden eyes heavy-lidded and his cheeks and lips dark with desire. He almost couldn't believe what the other was saying, never expecting anyone to confess such a thing to him, let alone one of the Garden's top studs. “Oh gods,” he squeaked, wondering if he had fallen asleep during his chores again and this was all a dream. “B-but...but why me? I'm impure and sterile and...and...well, you can see! I take up almost the whole bench!”

He flushed and looked away, embarrassed by his own outburst. “I mean...You can do so much better, Shaolai. I'm just a reject, and an infertile reject at that. Even if they let you settle down with me, I could never give you children.” Sorrow clouded his face a moment at that fact; even though he was happy to nanny the children of the Garden, Hanako would have loved to be able to have children of his own. He looked back up at Shaolai and shook his head. “I can't accept your feelings...I'm not good enough for you, not as a lifemate...”

4am

Shaolai tilted Hanako's face to look back at him, seeing the sadness in his eyes as the little incubus told him of all his insecurities and every reason why no one could ever want him. Gently the feeder shook his head, leaning in to kiss that reddened nose and then another kiss to Hanako's forehead next to his third eye. "None of that matters to me. You are the most beautiful slave in this Garden in my eyes, Hanako. You are so sweet and I know you have lots of love to give. I know you must be lonely and feel you are worthless, but not to me. And I don't care that you can't have my children, I've sired many children in my days here. And of all the purebreds I have produced children with, none of them can compare to you. Please, I know this is all very sudden, but at least consider it. We could be together, just you and I, and no one else will know about it."

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by onichan01 on Today at 6:53pm

“I...I don't know.” Hanako murmured, unsure as he looked up at Shaolai. There was some part of him that still just refused to accept that the older demon was serious, that he wouldn't leave as soon as someone better came along. Hanako didn't think he could take that kind of heartbreak, there was no way he was strong enough. Still, the blond looked so sincere and he had always been so nice to him, much kinder than any other feeder. The others regarded him as a chore; Shaolai had always made him feel...like he mattered. That he enjoyed himself as much as Hanako did and was even sweet to him afterward. Still...that doubt wouldn't go away and the redhead sighed.

“I can think about it?” He asked softly, a little afraid that Shaolai would get mad at him for hesitating. “And answer you later?”

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by Butler Eiji on Today at 7:13pm

Shaolai leaned in again to place a gentler kiss to Hanako's lips, wrapping his arms firmly around the little breeder and pulling him up with him, never letting go. "Of course my sweet Hanako, the choice is yours to make. I would never force anything upon you. I just couldn't hold back any longer, I knew that... things could change suddenly and I had to let you know my feelings for you." He nuzzled the breeder's neck then, caressing his back and just enjoying the closeness and the flowery scent of the little demon. "I've heard word that a Master is interested in you. I am conflicted by this. I want you to have the best, Hanako. You of all the slaves here deserve it. But I don't know what I would do if I lost you..." He said in a whisper against Hanako's ear.

“Really? I haven't heard anything like that.” Hanako blinked up at Shaolai in surprise and shook his head. “You must have heard wrong. No one's placed a bid on me since that one master years ago. I mean, of all the slaves, I'm probably the one that's going to end up staying here forever...I don't think you have anything to worry about, Shaolai.” The breeder smiled sadly and lowered his head again, nuzzling his cheek against Shaolai's chest.

"Hanako... You don't realize how special you are. That naga wants to have more than one visit with you, do you really believe he wouldn't buy you if he likes you that much?" He said with his own sad smile. "But enough on this matter, it is merely speculation. Right now I have you in my arms and I am not going to let you go. In fact, how would you like to have a nice bath with me?" He said smoothly, kissing the top of Hanako's head. "I want you, and I would take you now if not for the fact we're out in the open."

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by onichan01 on Yesterday at 11:45pm

Hanako blushed and grinned against Shaolai's chest. “I would love to. I'm sure I could use a bath after all that time in the herb garden.” He wriggled closer and curled his fingers against the bigger demon's chest. He wouldn't have been particularly opposed to letting Shaolai have his way with him on the garden bench either. “Did you want to go the bathhouse or back up to your room?”

"I think the bath in my flat will do. I feel more comfortable there and Ozai is out so we'll have the place to ourselves." He grinned, suddenly lifting Hanako up into his strong arms and carrying the plump little incubus with little effort As he made haste back to the building. Once they were in an area where they might risk being noticed by other slaves or Gardeners, he put Hanako down and leaned in to whisper in his ear quickly. "I will go on ahead, try to be discreet about coming to my room love. I'll see you soon."

He then left the little demon, acting as normal as he could, greeting the other slaves as he passed them and climbed the many flights of stairs up to the Feeder's floor. He then slipped into his suite and eagerly awaited Hanako, keeping an eye out. It was the weekend and his day off, so he knew the Gardeners might grow suspicious of a visit that wasn't for scheduled feeding purposes. He hated having to be sneaky, but if the Gardeners ever knew how he fancied Hanako, they might try to keep them apart.

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by onichan01 on Today at 12:26am

Hanako squeaked when Shaolai suddenly picked him up, clinging to him tightly for fear of being dropped. He was surprised the older demon managed to haul his ample self as far as he did and was relieved to finally have two feet back on the ground again. A shiver ran up his spine and his ear twitched when Shaolai whispered into it and he nodded eagerly. He would have agreed to just about anything then, with the promise of being alone with Shaolai as the reward. He watched the feeder move off, admiring his strong back as he went down the path. When he could barely see the blond anymore, he finally scurried down the garden path himself, feeling as if he was floating on air. Of course, when he finally got to the stairway leading up to the feeder suites, he wished he actually could float.

“Why do they have to live on the top floors?” He wailed quietly as he looked up the daunting flights. For a moment, he considered whether it would be worth the trip...before deciding Shaolai was and taking that first heavy step. Nearly an hour later, he finally crawled up onto the last step, panting and wheezing, covered in sweat and his yukata more mussed than before. He shambled over to Shaolai's door and knocked heavily, then stood there doubled over and struggling to catch his breath.

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by Butler Eiji on Today at 12:43am

Shaolai idly wondered what was taking Hanako so long. A part of him worried the little incubus may have had a change of heart and decided against visiting him for a little intimate alone time. He also wondered if perhaps a Gardener spotted him and wanted him to finish his chores. He shook away such thoughts and worked off his clothing, setting the fine, silken garments aside as he took time to fill the bath, putting fragrant salts into the water to dissolve. He was sure Hanako would enjoy the scent of roses as much as he did.

He then sat on the edge of the tub, feeling the steam from the hot water rising up and making the room a bit humid. He let his hair go free from its usual braid, brushing out his long blonde locks. After another moment he finally decided to peek out of his flat, spotting Hanako making slow progress up the stairs. He held back a chuckle then, waiting ever so patiently as he ducked back into the room. When the tired knocks finally came he wasted no time in pulling Hanako into the room and closing the door quickly behind him. "I am so sorry about all of those stairs, my sweet. But the bath is ready." He had already begun working Hanako's clothing off, eager to shuffle the demon towards the tub. "Come love, you could use a good hot soak to relax."

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by onichan01 on Today at 12:51am

“Sorry...took so...long.” Hanako gasped, letting himself be pulled along by Shaolai. He wouldn't have had the strength to resist even if he wanted to and a bath sounded heavenly right now. The muscles in his legs were sore and tense after all those stairs. He wasn't able to offer much assistance in getting his clothing off, but since there wasn't much of it, it was off rather quickly and soon they were in the feeder's private bathing chamber. The smell of roses hit him first and he smiled; the scent was one of his favorites.

“Thank you, Shaolai.” Hanako paused, looking back up at the blond demon with adoration shining in his golden eyes. “It was really worth the climb, to be here with you.”

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by Butler Eiji on Today at 1:00am

"It's all right Hanako." He said with a small giggle, unable to help himself around the adorable incubus as he gently led him to the tub. Seeing how fatigued Hanako was, he once again pulled the little demon into his arms and carried him to the bath, lowering him slowly and gently into the water as he himself snuggled against him. "I'll make it very worth the effort, precious." He purred, leaning in to kiss those luscious lips. He could taste the salt of Hanako's sweat, but it didn't faze him at all as one of his large hands slipped under the water to rub gentle circles around Hanako's tummy. "Even though it is my job to keep you and the other slaves fed, for once I want to make love to you." He said with sincerity in his tone as he let his exploring hand dip lower, gripping Hanako's cock and giving it a firm stroke as he reclaimed those lips.

The next few hours were spent taking the incubus in the bath several times before they eventually wound up on Shaolai's bed. He even let the redhead feed as he pleased, wanting to pamper Hanako and let the little demon reap all the benefits of their intimate union. "I wish we could always be like this." The feeder said sleepily as he nuzzled Hanako's shoulder, lightly dozing off as he held his love. He knew the demon would have to leave him and finish up his chores before the Gardeners took notice to his absence, but for a while longer he would enjoy his guilty pleasure.

Post by onichan01 on Today at 11:29pm

It had been two days since Avinash had left Soma by the river and the incubus had not moved much from his spot. He spent all his time watching the river or the leaves fall or sleeping wrapped up in the thin red blankets he had brought with him. They were becoming poor protection against the cooling nights and he woke up in the mornings now covered in a thin layer of frost. Still, he couldn't seem to muster the strength to return to his master and he was beginning to wonder if death was to be his choice after all. Of course the madness would come first; it was already creeping up on him, the side effect of starvation in the nightmares he had been having. His stomach had been cramping as well. If he was to die, it certainly would not be an easy death. Perhaps he should just throw himself into the river and spare himself the inevitable agony.

Just as he was seriously considering letting the cold waters take him, a pair of feet in straw sandals suddenly appeared on the opposite bank. Soma looked up curiously, feeling a little afraid at the sudden appearance of the stranger. The newcomer was handsome enough, with the olive skin and dark hair that most of the citizens of Beseine possessed. He was obviously not a noble, judging by his plain clothing, but one could never be totally sure. Soma drew his blankets up closer around his body; although he was considering suicide, it didn't mean he would want to be raped beforehand and the way this stranger was smiling at him was unnerving.

“Well, well. What's an uncollared slave doing out here by himself? Rather dangerous. Have you run away from home?” He asked and Soma narrowed his eyes, lifting his chin haughtily.

“My master is nearby, so don't think you can try anything. All I have to do is call for him.” He threatened, but the stranger's smile only widened and he chuckled. Clearly he wasn't buying his bluff and Soma began to rise to his feet, preparing to run.

“Whoa, whoa, I'm not going to hurt you.” The stranger put up a placating hand and shook his head. “So, you have run away. Abusive master?”

Soma eyed him suspiciously. “Something like that.” He replied lowly, “Are you going to turn me in? Have guards drag me back home?”

“No, of course not. What's the point?” He shrugged and stuck his hands into the pockets of his plain overcoat. “But I might have something that could make things more...bearable.”

“Oh?” Soma asked, narrowing his eyes. “What is it?” The man only smiled again and pulled something out of his pocket. When he held his hand out for Soma to see, it turned out to be a handful of small, dried white flowers with bright yellow centers.

“Flowers?” Soma raised a skeptical eyebrow. “Some withered flowers are going to help me?”

“These are just any flowers. They're rare annusi flowers. Pretty when they bloom, but their true power comes out when you dry them. If you eat them, it helps you find contentment in your life.” He replied and Soma's eyes widened in surprise.

“Does it really work?” He looked back up at the stranger, wondering if what he said was really true. He would much rather be content again, to go back to the way he was before all this and before he had started thinking...To just be a slave who never questioned anything anymore. If all he had to do was eat some old dried up flowers, he would gladly do so.

“Take them and try for yourself.” The stranger shrugged and held out his hand, stretching across the narrow part of the river. Soma took a few steps in, shivering as the cold water rushed around his naked ankles and took the handful of plants before stepping back. “I promise everything will look much better.”

“...Thank you.” Soma murmured, looking down at the flowers in his hand. They looked so ordinary, nothing special. They could very well be poison, for all he knew. He looked back up to ask the stranger just that, but he was already gone. The incubus blinked in surprise and looked around for a moment, then turned back to the flowers in his hand and made his choice.

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by Butler Eiji on Today at 12

7am

The air was silent except for the sound of wind occasionally rustling the trees and the rattle of dry leaves falling to the earth. Avinash hugged the thick blanket tighter around himself, never leaving his balcony as he gazed off in the distance towards the river. He had kept his word to Soma, waiting for the incubus to return for an entire day. When night had set in he was cold and miserable, lost in his own thoughts and full of regrets. He couldn't help but think that he was foolish for ever purchasing a pleasure slave. He knew he wasn't ready for such a responsibility, and given his own upbringing, he knew he would never be a good father should the breeder ever have his child. All he knew growing up was hostility and the firm hand of his father striking him every time he showed the slightest bit of weakness.

Avinash was innately sensitive, but the life of a warrior was all he was destined to have. Through years of being a hardened soldier he discovered he had a vicious streak. There was a dark and violent side that often shocked and frightened him when it came out, and when it did come out there was little he could do to control himself. The day he struck Soma and injured the slave was just such an example of his cruel side. It marked the end of their happiness together and he knew he ruined Soma. Inwardly he cursed himself, wishing he could just fall at the blade of an enemy. And even that would never make up for what he had done to his slave.

As the night fell, the red naga eventually grew tired from the web of complicated and negative thought that plagued his mind. He fell into a light and uncomfortable sleep, anxious that Soma may have committed suicide. Then the dawn came and the golden light of the sun poured down upon Avinash, waking him from his dreamless sleep. He felt stiff and the air was chilled while crisp frost covered the earth. He looked around then, a bit sluggish and drowsy from the cold and lack of decent sleep. There was still no sight of Soma.

Slowly he got up, making his way back inside to light the coals and warm up his house and himself. He was disappointed that Soma had not returned and he couldn't help but think the worst. Had Soma really chosen to die? He shook his head and curled up beside the heater, slamming his fist against the hard wooden floor hard enough to leave a large crack and bloody his knuckles. Hot tears began to fall from his eyes and he let out a frustrated roar, filling the air with his rage and despair as he laid down and sobbed, not moving from that spot for the rest of that day.

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by onichan01 on Yesterday at 9:29pm

Night had fallen once again and the autumn air's bite was a little sharper than usual. The glow of coal heaters gave homes a soft yellow glow, like large fireflies. People scurried off in a hurry to get indoors to be near them. Soon the small country neighborhood was silent save for the night music of the surrounding woodlands and the accompaniment of the river's babble...until another voice joined in.

Soma hummed to himself, singing nonsensical words as he walked up the hill. He was completely bare, his blankets left behind at the foot of the hill, but he didn't feel the cold. In fact he felt quite warm and lighter than air; he wouldn't have been surprised if he was floating across the stiff grass, which glittered under his bare feet. The entire world was gilded in his eyes, a soft glimmer covering everything and it delighted him to no end. He wondered if his master could see it. Where was his master anyway? Soma paused, thinking it over. Oh yes, he was at the house with the red scarf tied on it.

“Master, I'm home.” Soma sang while he climbed up the balcony. He slipped, scraping his palms a little on the wood, but he didn't notice. The incubus paused on the porch, watching the light glimmering through the paper door. He reached out and put his hand against it, feeling the heat coming through it and the smoothness of the paper. A delighted smile curved his lips and he leaned in, rubbing his cheek against the warm rice paper.

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by Butler Eiji on Yesterday at 9:54pm

Avinash could hardly believe the disheveled state he was in over Soma. It certainly wasn't befitting for someone of his rank and stature, yet the loss of his slave struck him harder than any blow on the battlefield. The guilt and grief prevented him from functioning. He knew he should have made an appointment to have servants come over with prepared meals and he also should have hired a cleaning crew. His home was all set up, but it felt so empty. His stomach too was the emptiest it had ever been after two days of not eating or drinking. He idly looked at his hand, seeing the blood crusted to his knuckles and on the floor, yet he couldn't be bothered to do anything about it. If Akai had seen him this way he was certain the basilisk would demote him. If he stayed in such a sad state, he feared the worse for his performance on the field of battle.

Then there was a voice like the melody of a beautiful harp that filled the air and Avinash sat up, a bit sluggish and lacking energy. He looked toward the door leading out to the balcony as he heard an odd rubbing sound on the rice paper. As quickly as he could he went to the door, opening it and seeing Soma standing there stark naked. The naga's golden eyes went wide and on reflex he pulled Soma into his arms, embracing the tiny slave's pale frame and feeling how ice cold he was. "Soma! My Soma!" He choked out, pulling his slave inside with him and letting his tail close the door to keep the cold air out. He didn't waste a moment getting them both wrapped up in the blanket near the heater. "You're so cold, you poor thing! But you came home to me. Oh Soma..." He sniffed, trying hard not to flood the incubus with the emotion of relief that he felt.

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by onichan01 on Yesterday at 10:26pm

Soma stared blankly up at Avinash, his mind still stuck on wondering where the door had disappeared to. His body went limp when the naga latched on to him and he was little more than a ragdoll in the demon's arms, still looking up at his master with a blank stare. He said nothing for several minutes, then blinked and looked down at the blanket he was now wrapped in.

“I'm hungry, master.” He whined and tugged on a loose thread he had found in the blanket. It started to unravel and he giggled, pulling harder. “I wanna eat.”

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by Butler Eiji on Yesterday at 10

7pm

Avinash was too overwhelmed with happiness that Soma was home to notice that something was off with the slave. As Soma plucked a thread in the blanket and pulled he found the behavior a bit curious, but even more so the complete change in Soma's behavior from earlier. The slave was not only talking to him again but actually asking him to feed him. It was amazing. Just to have Soma in his arms, it was more than he could hope for. "I'll feed you Soma, as best as I can." He said gently, but his stomach gave an unceremonious growl that echoed through the air and the naga groaned. "I need to eat too..."

He began to think of their predicament. He was in no shape to feed Soma properly when he himself was so low on energy. He wondered if there was a tavern nearby with a restaurant, some place he could eat then a room he could rent for the night to feed his slave. The Garden would even be a good option, but he was uncertain Soma would be up to the travel. "Soma, I know a place we can go so we can both eat. Will you wear the dress I got for you, pet? I'll get us there as fast as I can my sweet one."

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by onichan01 on Yesterday at 11:28pm

“Hungry now, master.” Soma turned away from that interesting thread and finally looked back up at Avinash. He reached up and grabbed handfuls of the naga's hair, tugging on it. His pupils were dilated so far that only the thinnest rim of red still showed. “Now, now, now!”

He squirmed in Avinash's grip and struggled away. If his master wouldn't feed him, he'd find someone who would. He was sure there would be someone willing out there to give him a meal; he was quite cute after all. He went to the door and opened it back up, stepping outside and getting ready to climb back down the balcony.

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by Butler Eiji on Today at 1:11am

Avinash noticed how unusually large Soma's pupils were as the slave tugged on his hair, which in and of itself was quite uncomfortable. "Soma, I will feed you, but I need some time to get it up... What is wrong with you? You're not acting right..." Then it began to sink in that something was terribly wrong. As Soma squirmed in his arms and pulled away he quickly raced after the slave, wrapping his strong tail around Soma's waist and pulling him back inside after he got out to the balcony, wrapping him firmly in his coils to prevent the incubus from escaping back outside. "Oh no you don't! You're in no shape to go back out there in the cold naked as you are. I finally have you back and I will not let you go again!"

The naga found renewed strength in himself then as he pulled Soma inside and kept him wrapped up in his tail as he tried to figure out what he should do. He wondered if the slave was succumbing to madness from not having fed in nearly a week. The red naga pulled the slave closer to his body, his tail keeping Soma's arms tucked in against his frail body to make the slave stay put. It was times like these Avinash was grateful for being a naga. "I will feed you now slave, just be patient." He never let up his grip on Soma as he eyed his sword on the floor near the heater. Slowly he made his way to it with Soma in tow. He reached down then and grabbed the blade with the hand that was already injured, using is other hand to drag the sharp edge across him palm. He winced, feeling the blade slice into him and draw his blood, cupping his hand so it could pool there and not be wasted.

"Soma, drink this, my life..." He said gently as he brought his hand up to Soma's lips. "Drink as much as you can pet, it's the fastest way I can feed you, even if this is a less than pleasurable method..."

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by onichan01 on Today at 1:26am

Soma gave a surprised yelp as he was suddenly trussed up and dragged back inside. He laughed, the sound high and weird and tried to wiggle out of Avinash's tail, but he wasn't strong enough to escape. The pale breeder let his head fall back, his eyes steadily losing more red. He started singing the same nonsensical words he had been earlier until Avinash offered him his bleeding hand. His black eyes lit up and he lapped it up eagerly, then sank his teeth into the wound when the blood wouldn't come fast enough.

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by Butler Eiji on Today at 1

8am

Avinash couldn't help but feel scared for his slave. He had no idea what had come over Soma but it was clear the little breeder was out of his mind. He grimaced as Soma sunk his fangs into his hand. Between his torn up knuckles and the slice and puncture wounds in his palm, his hand was worse for wear. "Ngh that's it precious, eat up all you can. I will do everything I can for you Soma..." He inwardly prayed that his blood would help bring Soma back to his senses and take him away from the madness. Gently with his free hand he stroked Soma's head, running his fingers tenderly through the demon's short hair. He loosened the grip of his tail around Soma lightly when he sensed the slave was focused on feeding.

Avinash then felt a slight wave of nausea. Not having eaten in two days and being as dehydrated as he was, the loss of blood was making him feel a bit light headed. Despite it all, he forced himself to take care of Soma, ignoring his body's warnings as much as he could. "Please don't run away again Soma... Please... Stay with me and I will do everything I can to be a better Master for you."

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by onichan01 on Today at 1:52am

Avinash could have been talking to a wall for all the attention Soma was paying. He glutted himself on the naga's blood like a tick until he suddenly jerked away, his face twisted in a grimace. He pushed away from Avinash, crawling away on his hands and knees, a pained moan escaping him. He wrapped his hands around his stomach, hunching over, then vomited a good deal of the blood in the middle of the floor. The pale breeder began crying immediately afterward, great hiccupping sobs in between every wrenching heave by his stomach.

“Uhhn...hurts...” Soma whimpered and collapsed facedown into the puddle of blood and bile, all the strength suddenly draining out of his body. He made another horrible retching sound and more blood poured out of his mouth, spreading across the floor in a growing pool. “Oww...hurts, master!”

Re: Hell (eiji)

Post by Butler Eiji on Today at 2:43am

For a brief moment Avinash felt relieved. He was giving his slave sustenance and he felt that things could only get better from there. But once Soma pulled away, gripping his stomach in pain and vomiting up blood all over the floor, the naga felt his heart nearly jump into his throat. "Soma!" The naga went to his slave's side, gently touching his back with his hand when he noticed more blood was coming out as the slave retched. His eyes widened in horror as he realized Soma was likely vomiting up his own blood as well, signifying some internal injury.

"Shit, hang on I'm going to get help!" He said trying to avoid panicking as he made his way outside, screaming as loud as he could into the night in hopes his neighbors would hear and come to his aid. "Somebody please help! I need a medic! I have an emergency!!"

Several demons came out of their homes, curious about all the ruckus and noise so late at night. An elderly demon slowly came out of his house, looking to see what the fuss was about. He was an apothecary that practiced herbal medicine and knew much about the healing properties of various local plants. "What is the matter? You say you have a medical emergency?"

Avinash spotted the quaint looking man and rushed over to him, boldly putting his hands on the demon's shoulders. "Sir, my slave has fallen ill. He's vomiting up a lot of blood and seems to be in terrible pain. He came home acting odd... I'm not sure if it's just madness setting in or something else. He hasn't eaten in nearly six days now."

The demon rubbed the small white beard on his chin then and quickly retreated into his house. "I am going to get some supplies. It sounds like he may have eaten something he shouldn't have. Or perhaps he was poisoned... Slaves that succumb to starvation don't usually vomit copious amounts of blood." He then eyed Avinash's hand as he grabbed a satchel full of various medicinal remedies. "Unless of course he was feeding off your blood, but an incubus wouldn't vomit up his own sustenance like that."

Avinash followed the man, anxious as he gathered his supplies before following him back over to his house. Many of the other villagers were gathered around, curious as to what was going on, but they remained respectful and stayed outside of Avinash's home as he and the apothecary went inside to assess the situation. The old demon furrowed his thick, gray brows as he saw the slave on the floor in a puddle of blood. "Oh this is terrible, it's a good thing I live nearby or I'm afraid this slave would soon be dead. He's lost a lot of blood." The demon made his way to Soma's side, kneeling down and pulling a small pillow from his bag to prop the slave's head up. He then lit a match and ran it by Soma's eyes, noticing the dilated pupils. "He definitely ingested something. Though I don't know what exactly." He then reached into his bag for a glass bottle full of a milky colored liquid, pulling the cork out. "Hold him for me, I have to make him drink this. It's going to make him vomit more but don't be alarmed. It will help stop the internal bleeding and ease his stomach long enough for the herbs to absorb whatever toxin is in him."

Avinash nodded, taking Soma's head gently into his hands and lifting enough so the old demon could start pouring the strange substance into the slave's mouth.

"What else can you tell me? Start with his behavior." The man demanded, waiting for the slave to vomit up the medicine while he began mixing up another concoction.

"He was out of it, singing nonsensical words, acting very childish and bizarre. I'm not sure how to describe it... But he was demanding to be fed so I tried to give him my blood. He seemed very urgent about it."

"Sounds like he ingested a hallucinogenic herb, a strong one. Something that likely would make him feel euphoric and act strange. The singing is a common hint to that. There's only a few plants that grow in these parts that can do such a thing. I don't mean to pry, but you're not into any weird things like that are you...?"

"Of course not, the worse thing I have ever touched is wine!" Avinash growled, completely shocked by what the demon was telling him. "Soma had run away from home and had been gone for three days. He could have eaten plants in his hunger for all I know. What matters to me is that we can cure him. Please don't let him die! I'll reward you well for this if you can save him."

"Not to worry. He'll survive." The demon assured, taking an eyedropper full of the serum he mixed and sticking it into the slave's mouth again once Soma was done vomiting up the first elixir. "This is a sedative mixed with a powerful pain killer. The toxins have been flushed from his system and now he needs to rest and recover. This will heal his stomach too."

"I can't thank you enough Sir... erm, what is your name?" Avinash asked, cradling Soma's head under the narrower part of his tail.

"Miyugi. And no need to pay me, you're my neighbor and this is the least I can do. Might I suggest putting some locks on your doors if your slave is prone to wandering. The next time he may not be so lucky." The demon then got up, groaning from the aches in his joints as he packed up his things, leaving Avinash with the healing elixir and pain killer. "If he has anymore symptoms give him three drops of this orally. Keep him in bed, keep him warm, and if he needs to feed I suggest you avoid giving him blood for now. I'm surprised you would use such a barbaric method to begin with, but I suppose given the circumstances you didn't know... Anyway, I will be off. If you need me I am across the way."

"Thank you Miyugi." The red naga said quickly as the old demon left. He looked down at Soma then, gently stroking the slave's cheek. He would no doubt work tirelessly into the night to clean up the mess and make sure Soma was snug in his bed. "You're going to be okay pet, I promise I will care for you."

Author’s Note: Thank you guys so much for reading Hell! We truly appreciate your favs, comments, and continued support for our story! I am writing this note to let you guys know that this is where our time with our favorite nagas and their incubus slaves comes to end, but we will come back to them eventually. I know it’s a bit of cliffhanger, but rest assured Soma is going to live. (I bet some of you wish he died though lol). Onichan01 likes to world build and create characters, she wanted a change of scenery so we moved to the country of Sahale after this. Next chapter will be their story. This is the general set-up of Hell, we will be moving throughout the world and delving into each of the countries and their unique characters and stories. The timeline of all the countries will line up too, so think of it as a soap opera where many things are going on in many places simultaneously ^o^/ Chapter 7 will be coming soon, and Jaci is in it for those of you wondering who that pretty character is. Look forward to it!

P.S. I am a sucker for fan stuff… fanart, fanfics, anything like that. If you’re an artist or a writer and you really love Hell, feel free to butter me up and show me what you got!
