Hearts Allegiance
By: Ashen Ravenwing and Sinful Blessing
Kougaiji sighed, walking through the small village. He had to escape that insufferable 'stepmother' of his for a bit... and the creepy doctor kept making comments to him that were so vague yet suggestive that it gave him the chills... and what the fuck was with the damned bunny anyway! He frowned, eyes scanning the town. Many of the villagers stayed out of his way, a few mothers shooing their children inside. He growled a bit at that. Like he'd bother with petty humans when he had bigger fish to fry... The Sanzo party for one... By the goddess they annoyed him... Especially that bitchy monk and aggravating kappa… at least the monkey was a good fight... and the brunette could be reasonable... but those other two... ugggh...
Gojyo slowly walked down a dusty dirt road by himself. Earlier that day, he and Sanzo got into a huge fight and the kappa decided he wanted to head to the towns only pub to blow off some steam and have a drink or two. The bar had been just as dull as the rest of the town. There may have been a few girls with pretty faces, but it wasn't worth it. He really didn't feel up to that today.
He glanced up from staring at his dirt covered boots and smirked. Kougaiji was just ahead of him...and he appeared to be as pissy as always. The redhead grinned and kicked a rock towards the other redhead's feet.
"Hey! Pretty boy!"
The crimson-haired demon prince turned, blinking a bit in surprise at the voice that called out behind him. His jaw dropped slightly and his ears noticeably perked at the sight of the kappa. He knit his brows, not understanding how he hadn't felt his presence. Was he getting that used to running into the whore-ish water sprite?
Kou growled softly, turning to face him, fists balled. He really wasn't in a mood to fight… but he wouldn't back down on one either...
"Don't address me so casually you pathetic half breed... I'm no one's 'pretty boy'... Least of all yours..."
"I never said you were MY pretty boy. I just said you were one."
Gojyo replied irritably. He raised an eyebrow and smirked.
"And who's pathetic?"
Kougaiji paused, tilting his head to the side a bit. He snarled, and crossed his arms casually across his chest.
"And just what are you implying by saying that kappa?"
"What do you think I'm implying? Use that brain of yours Kogaji and think...reeeeeeal hard."
Gojyo said with a grin, as he pulled out a bent cancer stick and lit it with the lighter he had stolen from the monk earlier.
The crimson prince hissed in impatience.
"You are so damn annoying! How ANYONE could stand traveling with you, I have NO idea... That damned blonde is no better, and the midget has the mind of a toddler... I almost feel sorry for that healer of yours... having to baby-sit all of you... I could offer him a better deal... I know how strong a demon he is when he allows himself to let go... I'm sure I could 'work' him to his fullest potential..."
Kougaiji smirked softly, lifting a considering hand to his chin in a thoughtful pose.
"Hakkai would never work with you, you idiot. And look who's talking! Who could possibly travel with you? With you always snapping at everyone and trying to be a badass when you can't win! You're like a woman on the rag!"
Gojyo shot back angrily.
Kougaiji stared at him, stunned. He didn't have a comeback to such a graphic insult. He actually blushed and looked down, letting his hand slip to the back of his neck and rub the base with slight embarrassment.
"Well... Tact is certainly not an issue with you I see..."
"No. Never really has been. But it was the truth. Ah...I see...you're embarrassed because I used a "naughty" word, aren't you Kougaiji?"
"Tsh... Hardly... It's just how much your limited vocabulary and foul mouth astonishes me sometimes... And you're supposed to be a 'Savior of Gaia' ... Pfft... More like an orphaned street punk looking for his 15 minutes of fame... Tho... I doubt you even last that long on a regular basis anyway..."
The demon smirked mockingly at the kappa and turned to walk away.
"Besides... I have more important issues to tend to then having an insult war with you Gojyo..."
The half-demons' mouth dropped in surprise at that and he frowned. After a moment of thought he called back.
"You can call me a hopeless street punk if you like...but at least I'm not obsessed with certain things..."
Kou paused, tensing as he looked over his shoulder.
"You better not be saying what I think you are..."
"And if I am? You gonna try and fight me? Because I'm under the impression you lose the most."
Gojyo straightened his back and folded his arms over his chest.
The pure-blood looked back at the kappa, glaring at him with spite.
"Leave my mother out of this... Or should I bring up YOURS too?"
Gojyo growled and lunged forwards, tackling the demon to the ground and slamming his fist into his nose.
Kougaiji cried out at the sudden attack, not having been ready for such a sudden surge of speed from the fusia-haired water sprite. He lifted his arms to block his face, shooting his hand up to grip Gojyo's throat in a strangle hold. He hooked his legs up under him and spring-kicked the kappa over his head, quickly rolling to the side and onto his feet again. Kou wiped the blood from his nose, growling deeply.
"Son-of-a-bitch! That was cheap!"
"You deserved it you prick!"
Gojyo shouted, sitting up and rubbing his head.
"You started it! Don't talk about my mother you filth!"
Kougaiji snarled, truly miffed about his mother being mentioned... It was a tender subject... But he knew it was for Gojyo too... An equal weapon they had against each other... The prince stood up full height and licked at his lip, some of the blood having dripped on them.
Gojyo got up and glared at the redhead.
"I'll say whatever I want. But I didn't push the boundary of what I said and did not know. You did. You know nothing about me and my mother."
Kou sighed.
"I know more then you know I do... I work with your brother... remember? It's not like he doesn't talk about it... about you..."
The pure-blood brushed himself off, slipping out of battle mode as quickly as he'd been pushed into it. He had no desire to fight the playboy... not right now...
"He has no business telling you about me. I bet he lied anyways."
Gojyo glanced down with pained eyes. He knew that wasn't true...If his brother said anything...it was most likely the truth.
Kougaiji watched him for a silent moment, glancing around as he noticed they'd drawn a crowd. He didn't like spectators... The crimson-haired youkai shook his head and turned.
"Oy, it's not like you should let it get to you man... I mean hell... Who am I to talk, right? I'm just a wanna-be badass after all..."
He smirked ruefully and shrugged, walking down the path he'd started on earlier.
Gojyo shook his head and started to walk away himself.
The Next Day…
Gojyo took a large gulp of his not so great tasting beer and frowned. He had once again found himself at the pub, not wanting to be in the company of the bitchy priest or that annoying monkey. Even Hakkai was getting on his nerves. Maybe he was just pissed off about his run-in with Kogaji the day before...pissed about the fact that he knew more than he should.
Kougaiji walked in and sat down in the seat beside him, resting his arms on the counter.
"I might not have been able to feel you yesterday... But the depressing aura you're giving off today could make livestock wanna cry 5 miles away Gojyo..."
"What are you doing here?"
Gojyo asked bitterly, taking another drink of his beer.
"Same thing you and your friends are... Looking for a sutra..."
"You don't seem to be much of a bar person Kougaiji."
The kappa answered quietly, not really in the mood to deal with the red head today.
Kougaiji shrugged softly.
"I don't seem to be the type of person you'd expect to find in many of the places I've been..."
"Whatever...could you just leave me alone? I'm not in the mood."
Kou glanced over with a steady gaze.
"And just what 'mood' would that be that you're not in? I'm just talking..."
"I really don't wanna hear your stupid voice right now. So don't make me MAKE you get out!"
Gojyo snapped, a bit surprised at his sudden outburst. He wasn't usually this bad, even if he was in a terrible mood.
Kougaiji blinked and leaned up, frowning slightly, and also a little ticked off that the kappa had yelled at him. He let out a frustrated sigh and pushed away from the counter.
"Fine... "
"Wait..."
Gojyo said, staring down at his cigarette that was lit in the ashtray.
"Even if we are enemies...it's not really fair for me to snap at you for no reason...let me buy you a drink Kou."
The demon prince paused and stared down at him.
"Only your brother has ever called me that before..."
"You're not going to take offense if I call you that...are you? It's just easier to shorten names sometimes."
Kougaiji smiled and sat back down, leaning his head on one hand, and looking at the kappa.
"Does that mean I can call you Jo?"
"Uh...my name isn't as long as yours. So you don't have to shorten it. And Jo just sounds stupid."
Gojyo said with a smile, taking a drag of his cancer stick.
Kougaiji laughed; a surprisingly lighthearted sound.
"For once I think we agree on something..."
The red haired half demon chuckled.
"So...order something...it's on me."
The prince flagged down the bartender and ordered a glass of rum.
"Thanks for the drink..."
"Nah...there's nothing like good company to drown your sorrow, right?"
Gojyo tipped his glass back and drained the rest of the bitter drink. He waved down the bartender and ordered another.
Kougaiji blinked and stared at the kappa for his 'good company' remark. How was it possible that they could suddenly set all their differences aside and sit here together, having a drink and more so then tolerating each others presence, but actually liking it...? He knit his brows and looked down at his drink, swirling it in the glass thoughtfully before slamming back the burning liquid.
Gojyo glanced over at the demon.
"What're you thinking about? You look...confused…"
Kou let out a breathy laugh, not sure how to respond.
"Dunno... Never really expected to be having a drink with you..."
"Yeh...me neither really... Especially after yesterday."
Gojyo mumbled, the last part coming out a bit bitter.
Kou flinched at the thought and looked down.
The kappa frowned and glanced away, feeling anger bubble inside of him. He wasn't totally mad at Kougaiji for SAYING it; although neither of them should have brought up such tender subjects. He was angrier with his brother. The redhead really thought that he would have had a little more respect than that.
"Gojyo... About yesterday... I'm sorry... I shouldn't have used that as a counter attack... It was, well, kind of childish..."
Gojyo glanced up and shook his head.
"No...I was the one who brought up your mother first...I deserved it."
The smaller redhead smiled weakly.
"I had no right to say it tho... I mean... Your mother can't come back... That alone makes me saying it all the worse... Tho with the way things are going... I doubt I'll ever …be able to save… my own..."
Kougaiji cut off, burying his face in his hands with utter despair.
"Why not...?"
Gojyo asked, lifting a hand to pat his back. He felt bad for even bringing up the other redheads mother the day before now...the pure blood seemed to be as depressed about it as he was.
"... That bitch has her under a spell... She sleeps as dead as stone... If I can't get the sutras, she'll never release her... and the spell is too advanced for me to break. I've tried... everything..."
Gojyo didn't know what to say.
"I...uh...I'm sorry man."
He mumbled, taking a drink of his beer again. He glanced away and frowned.
Kougaiji looked up, quickly wiping away the water from his eyes and staring into space ahead of him.
"I have nothing against you Gojyo... or the Sanzo party... And I could care less about your journey... I enjoyed Gaia far more when there was peace... I do this all... for her... The wench has turned me into her lapdog..."
He tensed, gritting his teeth and balling his fists.
"I'm a prince damnit... And she is nothing but trash..."
"Why don't you just kill the damn broad then?"
The half demon suggested, trying to make the other man feel a bit better. He patted the demons arm, a bit alarmed that he was letting out these emotions to Gojyo of all people.
Kougaiji jolted a bit at the touch and looked down at the kappa's hand, not expecting the comfort, but not wanting to push it away either.
"With her death... My mother will die too... I need her to lift the curse before I slit her throat..."
"Man...That fucking sucks...any way I can help...?"
Gojyo asked, as he pulled his hand away when Kou tensed.
Kougaiji frowned a bit when the other man stopped. He actually liked the comfort. He didn't get it often... Sure there was Lyrin, Ya'O Ne, and Dokukakugi... but they were his subjects... Sworn to protect and care for him... To be comforted by this man... his 'enemy'... It was a nice change... Kou shook his head with a soft smile.
"Except for giving me the sutras... I'm afraid not... Thank you tho... Gojyo..."
He said the kappa's name with tenderness this time.
Gojyo frowned, now thinking about his group of "friends". Yeah sure, Hakkai WAS his friend...and the monkey wasn't so bad...but Sanzo?
"I...I could help you in another way..."
Kougaiji blinked, turning to look at him and knitting his brows.
"How?"
"Set that bastard monk up..."
Gojyo whispered almost inaudibly.
Kou gave the kappa the look a child would have if just told a huge secret, his eyes wide in wonderment.
"Y-you'd do that?"
"He's never done anything for me anyways...and it seems that your reason for needing the sutras has more meaning...is more...emotional...or something. I don't know. I just don't like that stupid monk!"
Kougaiji could have seriously kissed the water sprite right then and there. He opened his mouth to say something but couldn't find the words.
Gojyo growled at the thought of Genjo Sanzo and took a drink of his beer. That stupid blonde made him boil on the inside.
"Yeah...I'll help you. Fuck him and his stupid journey."
Forgetting all sense of tact, Kougaiji threw his arms around Gojyo and embraced him tightly.
"Thank you Gojyo..."
Gojyo's crimson eyes widened in surprise before he leaned into the tight hug.
"You're welcome Kougaiji..."
Later That Night…
Kougaiji paced in the small inn Gojyo had told him to wait at. It was raining hard outside and all the lights were off so as not to cause suspicion. The lightning threw large shadows across the walls and the prince fidgeted, praying to the Merciful Goddess that the kappa would come through for him. He needed those sutras... not for that bitch... or his father... for his mother... Just to save her... He groaned softly, the hours dragging on.
"Gojyo... where are you?"
The door to the room swung open and a very soaked Gojyo entered the room. He walked over to the small worn table and set the sutras down. The redhead then walked over to the bed and flung himself onto it tiredly.
The prince gasped, huddling over the table and checking each of them.
"G-Gojyo...They're all here... all of them... Thank you... gods... "
"Said I would get them Kou...I don't break promises..."
The half demon mumbled, rubbing his eyes tiredly.
Kougaiji gently set the sutras down and walked over to the bed, looking down at the weary man.
"I owe you my mother's life Gojyo... I owe you everything now... How can I repay you? You've gone against your own people... I know you can't go back to them... not now... How could I make such a sacrifice up to you?"
"You don't have to..."
Gojyo said.
"Tho...you could give me a bunch of cigarettes..."
He joked.
Kougaiji blinked softly and sat down on the bed nodding.
"You got it... but I can't buy any till morning... anything else?"
He gently put his hand on Gojyo's arm.
Gojyo grunted.
"Yeah...go out and get me a good lay. I could use someone with a pretty face."
Kougaiji blushed and sat up straight, removing his hand and looking away.
"Oh... well... I mean... Hell, I know I'm not a woman... but you don't need to insult my face... Most find it rather attractive I'll have you know... "
"I never said you weren't pretty Kou!"
Gojyo said with a grin.
Kou flinched and turned to glare at him, bright red though Gojyo couldn't see it in the darkness.
"Don't call me 'pretty'! That's as bad as calling me fem!"
The prince lifted a hand to whap him lightly.
"Hn...But I don't lie...you have a very pretty face...and I suppose you could be fem...You did hit me in a very fem way just now..."
Gojyo laughed and sat up.
"GOJYO!"
Kou tackled him on the bed, sitting over him and pinning his arms.
"Take it back!"
"Take it back!"
Gojyo mocked through laughter, bucking up to get the other redhead off of him.
The prince gasped in surprise and had to release the water sprites arms just to push his hands against the headboard as a brace so he wouldn't tumble head over heels.
The water sprite grinned and bucked up again.
"You are SO fem Kougaiji..."
"S-stop that Gojyo!"
Kougaiji grit his teeth, his hands grasping the headboard tight so he wouldn't fall. He couldn't see that well and didn't want to hit anything by falling off the bed.
Gojyo placed his hands on Kougaiji's hips.
"What? The bucking or telling the truth?"
The crimson prince gasped again at the grip on his hips and leaned back, trying to balance himself out over the other man and look at his surroundings as if to avoid the kappa.
"B-both... jus ... quit..."
"Hn...why? Is it bothering you...?"
Gojyo asked, rocking up gently as if to hint at something.
Kou shivered despite himself, reaching his hands back to grip Gojyo's knees to hold himself up. His face was flushed the color of a rose and he lowered his head to hide it behind his long crimson bangs.
"I-in the... worst way.. Gojyo..."
His voice dipped slightly into a huskier tone, the constant friction pleasing him more then he cared to admit.
"Are you all...hot and bothered Kou?"
The kappa grinded up hard, groaning quietly at the friction against his own trapped arousal.
"Ah!"
Kougaiji jolted and instinctually rocked his own hips down against the half-breeds', craving the sweet pressure that had built up.
"Uhnn... Gojyo..."
His voice dripped with lust, his companions name melting into a groan of desire.
Gojyo rolled over, placing him on top of the other redhead. He leaned down and pressed his lips to Kougaiji's in hunger, slowly grinding against the other mans hard-on.
The pure-blood tensed at the initial force of the kiss, not expecting such hunger. It took him a moment to adjust to the feel of the kappa's warm lush lips against his own. Gojyo smelled of tobacco, the rain... and musk. His scent filled Kou's nostrils and he arched up slightly, groaning against his partners soft mouth and inviting him in. Kougaiji never asked for affection, physical or emotional. He was a warrior and a prince... supposed to be 'above' the primal needs of a 'mortal' ... But by the gods... He wanted this...
Gojyo ran a hand down the demons thigh to caress his aching groin and slipped a warm tongue into Kougaiji's mouth, moaning softly at the sweet taste of rum from earlier that night.
Kou pressed his hips up into his partner's large hand, desperate for his touch... But it wasn't enough. His hard-on throbbed beneath the tight confines of his pants and Kogaji allowed a high-pitched whine of need to escape him as he thrust against Gojyo, trying to make his point as his mouth was too overtaken to form words. His clawed hands lifted, gripping the half-youkai's hips and digging in slightly.
Gojyo groaned and pulled his mouth away from Kougaiji's to fumble with the other redheads pants. As he was busy with the lower half, Kou sat up and pushed his jacket off the back of his shoulders. Throwing it to the side, he eagerly helped Gojyo strip off his vest and tank top, adding them to the growing pile on the floor. Both growled in annoyance at their boots and nearly ripped them off so that the rest of their clothing could be removed freely. After Gojyo had stripped the man beneath him of his pants, he unbuttoned his own and wiggled out of them, grateful that they slid off with ease.
Kougaiji made a sudden decision to take control for a while, his dominate side taking over, and he leaned up fast enough to push the kappa backwards. The prince didn't waste time before descending on his partner's thick shaft, swallowing him to the hilt with a possessive growl.
Gojyo choked out a groan and arched up at the unexpected contact.
"F-fuck! K-Kou..."
The demon sighed around his 'saviors' cock. He owed Gojyo the world right now, and planned to make it up to him in full. He trailed back up the kappa's shaft, scraping his fangs lightly and swirling his tongue around the tip, bathing him with hot moist breath.
The Kappa reached down to cup Kougaiji's cheek in his soft palm while he moaned quietly. He tilted his head back with a growl of desire and arched up slightly, thrusting his hips forward to urge the smaller demon on.
The redhead continued to tease his partner for a few moments before the ache between his legs throbbed again and made him groan with need. Leaning up and over the half-breed, Kou whispered in a voice of pure lust.
"Uhn... Gojyo... I want you..."
"G-gods...I want you too Kou..."
Gojyo whispered back between pants for air.
The demon prince slid up his partner's damp body, caressing over the curves of his abs as he positioned himself over his beautiful companion, opening himself up to the kappa. He leaned over, softly whispering in the same throaty voice.
"Let me start repaying you then... Please Gojyo... I can't offer you much more then myself... but I'm yours..."
Gojyo sat up and spit in his hand to rub it on his erection.
"A-Are you sure?"
He asked as he positioned himself at Kou's entrance.
Kougaiji gave his partner an almost tender smile, lifting his hands to caress both of Gojyo's cheeks before leaning in to kiss him deeply as his answer.
The half demon rocked up into Kougaiji's tight warmth and moaned as heat surrounded him. He pulled out slightly and hilted him self in completely, gripping the other redheads hips tight in pleasure.
The prince threw his head back, crying out in pained-pleasure. His hands slid to Gojyo's shoulders, gripping them tight as his whole body tensed against the intimate invasion. He shuddered against the unfamiliar stretch of flesh and muscle, his body tightening around his new lover.
"H-holy shit! ... G-Gojyo!"
"Sh-shit...d-don't tense up...you can trust me Kou..."
Gojyo hissed through clenched teeth as he slowly and gently thrust in and out of the youkai above him.
The crimson demon trembled and leaned over, clinging to Gojyo and burying his face against the kappa's shoulder.
"W-wait... please..."
Gojyo stopped and frowned.
"Do you want to quit Kougaiji? Because I will if you want to..."
"N-no! I.. I-m jus.. new to this... I-it hurts... Give me a sec..."
He looked at his lover, frowning a bit in embarrassment but doing his best to relax. He knew he could trust Gojyo, the redhead had proved himself in the sutras alone... It was all just a bit over whelming.
"S-sorry Gojyo... I'll... try harder... Jus... go slow first?"
Gojyo leaned up and cupped his cheek.
"As slow as you need Kou...I don't want to hurt you…"
He mumbled, kissing him softly.
Kougaiji shivered, letting tears slip down his cheek freely. He wrapped his own arms tight around his lovers shoulders, holding him close, needing this feeling of connection, both physical and emotional. He rocked his hips down, gasping softly at the bolt of pleasure that shot up his spine. He looked at Gojyo to show he was ready.
"...Thank you..."
The Kappa kissed the tears away as he pulled out a little bit and slowly rocked into him.
Kou felt himself tensing again as his lover pulled back and took a shuddering breath, knitting his brows and concentrating hard on keeping his muscles loose. He moaned loud as Gojyo rocked back in, finally able to feel the wave of pleasure wash over him as the half-breed hit a particularly sensitive spot.
"Oh gods... Gojyo... r-right there..."
Gojyo flipped them so that he was positioned over the other redhead and rocked into him as gently as he could. He really had the urge to just fuck him senseless...he was so beautiful...but he couldn't do that to Kougaiji. He could hold back and be gentle for him...because he cared for the man beneath him...
Kougaiji groaned and arched against his strong lover, marveling at how much self control he was maintaining. Kou could feel how much his partner was holding back... it wasn't really fair to Gojyo... but the prince was so utterly grateful to him. There would be other times, he prayed, that they wouldn't have to start off slow at all. But for now... Kou needed the build up.
"Go-jyo... I-it's ok... Doesn't hurt as much now..."
Gojyo began to pick up pace slightly, still being careful about his now de-virginized lover and leaned down to nibble at Kou's earlobe right above the silver earring that hung there, letting out a soft moan of pleasure.
The smaller redhead shivered, closing his eyes against the teasing as a hot blush tinted his cheeks. He ran his clawed hands down his lovers chest, mapping all the curves of muscle and marveling at how they flexed and relaxed with each of Gojyo's thrusts. He didn't even realize that as soon as he'd stopped thinking about the pain, it had vanished. Kou arched, letting out a deep moan of his lovers name and grasping the kappa's hips as he felt a surge of sheer ecstasy.
"Gods! Harder Gojyo... please...Fuck me..."
The water sprite smiled warmly at him and thrust into his new found lover harder than before, panting deeply for breath as he started to thrust in faster and deeper.
Kou trembled, his breath coming out in short gasps and his brows knit as he felt liquid fire pooling in his groin. He felt like he was going to explode or burn alive from the inside out, which one first he couldn't imagine. His hands dropped to claw at the mattress as he wrapped his legs around Gojyo's waist and thrust himself back to impale his body deeper.
"F-fuck...Kou...I-I can't hold out much longer..."
Gojyo groaned, slamming into his lover hard and deep.
The prince gasped for breath, letting out a whimper of total pleasure.
"N-nor... am I... uhnnn...Go-jyo... ah!"
He lifted a hand to quickly stroke over his own straining cock, wanting to release the inner pressure that was almost unbearable.
Gojyo leaned over and covered one of Kou's nipples with a warm mouth and continued to pound into the man beneath him, being driven closer to the edge.
The added jolt of pleasure brought on from his lovers hot mouth was the final assault he could take and Kougaiji arched high into the teasing heat, crying out to the heavens themselves as his body tensed up like a time lock and his came hot and hard over his hand and stomach.
Gojyo gave a few final jerky thrusts before he came inside of Kougaiji with a loud moan. He laid down on top of the youkai and kissed his chest softly.
"I-I think that was the...the best sex I have ever had Kou..."
The young prince was shivering slightly, his eyes softly shut and his breath coming out in soft pants as his body recovered from its post-orgasmic high. As soon as he had regained a bit of his strength, Kou tenderly wrapped his arms over his lovers shoulders and held him close, tracing lazy patterns with his claws into Gojyo's broad back.
"I think that was... as close to heaven... as a demon like me... will ever come..."
Gojyo looked up at him and smiled warmly.
"I think I AM in heaven right now Kou..."
The smaller demon blushed and lifted one of his hands to push back his lover's long silky bangs.
"Will you stay with me Gojyo?"
"Of course I will Kou...as long as you stay with me..."
The crimson demon smiled tenderly and let out a soft chuckle, leaning his head back against the sweat soaked pillows.
"Hn… Well I sure as hell don't plan on going anywhere… Not when I can stay here in your arms Gojyo."
There was silence and Kougaiji knit his brows, leaning his head up to look at his lover only to see that he'd fallen into a deep peaceful sleep. Kou's smile deepened and he ran his fingers through the water sprite silky tresses.
"… I'd stay with you forever…Gojyo…"
