Hello! This is my very first fanfiction! The story took a very different turn than from what I had previously envisioned, but it's still so amazing! (At least, I believe so ^^). There are a few things that I should warn you of before you begin reading, just in case if you disagree with something in the story or other purposes:

1.) I do not own Ryu Hayabusa, Hayate, or the Mugen Tenshin/Hayabusa Ninja Clan. Many people would wish to own them but as for me...I just wish they would own each other. I'm forever a part of Team RyuHay!

2.) This story has explicit scenes. VERY explicit scenes. If you are uncomfortable with mild usage of profanity and extremely detailed descriptions of sexual acts between two very gorgeous men, then this Yaoi Fanfiction is not for you.

3.) If you are one of those people that know everything there is to know about Ryu Hayabusa and Hayate and I have mistated something, please leave a comment so that my ignorance can be corrected. Although I've done my research, there may be something that I have misinterpreted. We ARE human...although I wish Ryu and Hayate were as well!

4.) Please leave reviews if you like it! And also if you don't! I enjoy reasonable disagreements with my writings if there is sound logic behind them. It helps me improve.

5.) Thank you so much for reading my fanfiction! I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it! (Especially since I had to envision Ryu and Hayate in many positions...*faint*).


~*~*~*Chapter 1: The Confession*~*~*~

Hayate and Ryu bowed in front of each other before they each took their stance. It was normal for them to train together. After all, Hayate was the leader of the Mugen Tenshin Ninja Clan. He would have to lead his men into battle if an attack was to come. Ryu was the renowned Super Ninja and could not slack on his training, especially since he could be called to save the world at any time. This proved that Ryu was a worthy opponent for Hayate. And Hayate knew this.

He was always disturbed by the fact that of all the training bouts they had shared, Ryu had always beaten him. And he could not understand why. Although their strength was matched, Ryu just seemed to be a bit more agile and flexible than his counterpart, but not enough to make a difference. So why was he always losing? He watched Ryu intently, anger welling within him. All Ryu seemed to do was stare at him with deadened eyes, unfeeling, emotionless. Not a hint of smile was apparent upon his face, but a small frown could vaguely be seen. Hayate's eyes slightly widened. That was the same expression Ryu gave all of his rivals and challengers! Since when had Hayate become Ryu's rival?

He waited for the ultimate Shinobi to make a move. Why was he so angry? Because Ryu had always bested him in whatever they had done? No, that wasn't it. During a match like this, he could certainly understand why Ryu would have the upperhand. He was focused intently on what he needed to improve upon, if anything. His mind did not wander like Hayate's was doing. Or did it? But what of the times when Hayate was mentally devoted to the training? Something else seemed to hinder Hayate from ever being able to deliver a final blow to Ryu. He would hesitate for a second too long and then it would be too late. Ryu would have found a way to make him surrender. What was it that made him hesitate?

The two shinobi slowly circled each other, waiting for the other to make a move first or a mistake. Training was all about patience which Hayate had little of but flowed within Ryu's veins. And his eyes. Hayate slightly nodded in agreement to himself. He caught the perplexed gaze within Ryu's eyes, although it only remained for a moment before his eyes dulled again. Ryu had seen the nod Hayate had given himself.

Those eyes. Hayate thought. He knew his hesitation had something to do with Ryu's eyes. His best friend seemed to eye him like something that should be destroyed. Although that was how one is supposed to face another when they train, it still hurt Hayate for Ryu to treat him as such. Hayate had never shown such blatant disregard to him, no matter what they were doing.

He nearly succumbed to Ryu's sudden barrage of punches as he flipped over him to land on the other side of the room. He was fully distracted now. He wasn't focused currently because of a sudden thought. Why was he hurt by the fact that Ryu treated him as he should? An enemy would undoubtedly not show mercy if there was a true battle. That was how Ryu had always treated their frequent bouts. But Hayate was still hurt by it, because he could not even try to see Ryu as the enemy.

Feelings of despair and sadness intermingled with his anger as he blocked a high kick from Ryu. There was another feeling that he was trying hard to suppress, a feeling that if it became conscious to him, he would undoubtedly lose control. He knew that the feeling was the cause for his pain whenever Ryu treated him as an enemy. He recognized the feeling as being the reason why he could not approach Ryu with any other intent except to train or protect Kasumi or Ayane. If he became aware that he was truly in love with Ryu, he would not be able to hold himself back. He would run the risk of hurting Ryu. Hayate was a very impulsive man and needed to satiate his needs whenever they arose.

"What is wrong, Hayate?" Hayate snapped himself from his thoughts as he stared into the eyes of his friend. Even though Ryu's black kimono made his beautiful green eyes stand out, Hayate only saw emptiness reflected within them. "Are you already done training? I was about to go fishing when you approached me with yet another challenge-the third today."

Hayate could feel himself nearly boiling over, tightening the black belt on his red kimono. His temper was as bad as his impulsivity. He had no idea what Ryu was trying to say. Did he believe Hayate was a bother to him? Something seemed to wake within Ryu's eyes. It looked similar to hate.

"We both know that the more training we recieve, the more knowledge we gain." He folded his arms across his chest. "I expected you to be a more worthy opponent, Ryu."

"Like this, you mean?" Ryu was suddenly beside Hayate, quickly flipping him to the floor. He put a foot on his stomach to pin him down. They stared into each other's eyes for awhile before Ryu looked away. "If all you are going to do is rebuke me and half-heartedly spar with me, then I must go and prepare to leave."

Hayate did not know why, but fear began to grow within him as he heard Ryu speak. He didn't want Ryu to leave. He always hated it when he heard him get up early in the morning to head down to his antique shop or even spend a few hours of leisure alone. He especially hated how he would leave for months at a time because a new world threat had emerged. All he could do was accept the fact that Ryu had a life beyond living with him. But he had not heard of any new threat that had arisen. If there were, Ayane would have fetched Ryu or Rachel would have shown up herself.

He couldn't keep his pent up emotions from showing on his face as his tortured eyes rested on his friend's outline. He barely was able to get through his days when Ryu was away. He alway wanted him to be near. He knew why he felt this way. He just didn't want to realize the inevitable truth yet. "Leave? Where are you going?"

Hayate watched as Ryu's eyes froze over like ice. "Why do you care?" The words were said so low that he almost didn't hear. But he had heard. And those words sent him over the edge.

He brought up his leg as Ryu was removing his foot and tripped him so that Ryu's legs would splay out. He landed heavily upon Hayate's lap. "What do you mean why would I care?" Hayate exclaimed loudly, sitting up in anger, ignoring the pain that Ryu had caused him. He had forgotten that his friend was nearly as heavy as him.

Ryu calmly stared at Hayate. "I think it is obvious. Do you not?"

"No, I don't think that it's obvious!" Hayate was nearly shaking with rage. "I know that you aren't obligated to tell me anything about yourself, but aren't we best friends!"

Ryu snorted. "Really? We are? I would not think so. Especially how you treat me."

"Wha-what?" Hayate's voice revealed innocent surprise. "What do you mean?" He reached a hand out to touch his shoulder."I haven't treated you like anything except a friend. It's you who treat me as an enemy."

Silently fuming, Ryu slapped his hand away before folding his arms over his chest. Hayate winced at the action. He doesn't want me to touch him? He could see that Ryu's eyes were crackling with flames.

"I have treated you like an enemy?" His voice was hushed. This was a sign that Ryu was incredibly furious. "Who is the one that only comes to me when it benefits him? You wanted me to stop Kasumi from joining the Dead or Alive tournament. You made me promise to keep her safe. You always challenge me to a match. Whenever I approach you to simply do something that friends would do, you are always busy or have some excuse. I know that you are the Leader, but if I am to live with you, we should make an effort to do something together. Otherwise, I will feel as if I am imposing upon you."

His eyes then revealed extreme anguish. "I am glad that you allowed me to stay with your clan as long as you have. I thank you for taking me in when my Clan was eradicated. But if we can not live at peace together, I think I should leave."

Hayate's mouth had dropped a little when he heard Ryu speak. He was planning to leave...because of him? He felt a deep sting in his heart as he fervently shook his head. "Ryu...I am so sorry I made you think that." He allowed Ryu to see the sorrowful look in his eyes. He was sure that Ryu's features softened a bit. "It's just that ever since you came to live with me, I found that I couldn't be around you. It's not your fault." He quickly proceeded to finish his thought as Ryu looked away from him with hurt eyes.

It's now or never. Hayate thought. He was going to have to admit what he did not want to, because he was afraid of what would happen. But if he did not do it, he would lose Ryu forever. If he was unable to control himself around Ryu, Ryu would be able to tame him. He usually bested him in combat after all.

"Ryu, I've fallen in love with you."

He turned Ryu's face to him whose eyes were now filled with surprise. "That's why I had to have an excuse to speak to you. A reason that wouldn't leave me stumbling like a fool. I had to have a reason in mind to spend time with you, but one that wouldn't be too relaxing because I would have embarrassed myself in front of you. I wasn't going to say anything to you, because I was happy with just existing alongside you. But if you're leaving and you won't tell me where or when you'll be back, I have to confess everything to you."

"Really?" Ryu unfolded his arms and leaned towards Hayate. His eyes seemed to search within Hayate's for something. He must not have found what he was looking for because he then turned his head from Hayate. "I do not believe you."

Hayate's heart seemed to stop beating. Ryu didn't believe him? He had suffered so much to hide his feelings from Ryu, not even daring to be in the same vicinity with him without a purpose. If he hadn't held himself back, he would have tried to take Ryu by force. The bruises that Ryu would have given him would have been worth it. But how was he to convince Ryu that his words rung true?

Ryu just sat upon his lap unblinking, his chest barely moving as he inhaled. An evil thought began to seep into Hayate's mind.

He would have to show Ryu his love. That was the only way he would be able to convince Ryu of his truthful words.

He placed a hand on Ryu's crotch and began to rub softly. A small smile crossed his face as he saw the tanned cheeks of Ryu begin to redden.

"Hayate." His voice was a bit angry and cold, head still turned. "What are you doing?"

"I will show you how much I love you." Hayate whispered, pulling Ryu closer to him. Before Ryu could pull away, he swiftly pushed aside his kimono from the shoulders and began to playfully bite his nipples. Ryu gasped softly, grabbing Hayate's shoulders. He rubbed at Ryu harder, finally feeling the bulge enlarge. He smiled wider as he heard Ryu trying to stifle his sighs in anger. He felt a firm tug at the back of his head and looked up into Ryu's face.

"Do not think that this proves anything, Hayate." Ryu's cheeks were flushed with anger. Or was it excitement? His emerald eyes looked full of pleasure, but there was contempt as well. All Hayate could do was wear his smile and look lovingly at how adorable Ryu looked. And this Super Shinobi was his for the taking. For tonight at least.

He brought Ryu's head down and affectionately kissed him. Ryu gritted his teeth as to not allow Hayate to gain entrance. Hayate chuckled as he slipped a hand beneath Ryu's kimono to free his pulsing member. A few quick jerks seemed to send Ryu into a semi-ecstasy. He clutched Hayate harder while trying to remove his best friend's hand from stroking him. All it did was make Hayate increase his hand motions. Ryu threw his head back, unable to control a moan.

"You're...so...beautiful." Hayate mumbled without knowledge as he began to bite at the tanned flesh of Ryu's neck. He had never noticed how soft and silky his skin was, even though it was scarred with battle wounds. He inhaled deeply as an enticing scent reached his nose.

Japanese blossoms. Ryu smelled of sweet blooming blossoms. It must be his hair. He thought as Ryu quickly cast disapproving eyes upon him, biting his lower lip.

"I am not a woman." He seethed as Hayate began to rub Ryu's balls. Hayate's cock was begging to be able to breathe also, but he was afraid if he let Ryu go, he would leave Hayate's warm embrace. Or even hit him.

Still quickly stroking Ryu, he caught Ryu mid-moan with a deep-throated kiss. As much as Ryu wanted to pull away, the passion that Hayate was showing him was lowering his defenses. Hayate realized this as his tongue tangoed with Ryu. He was finally reacting more to him. This was a good sign.

Ryu pulled away to catch his breath, a trail of saliva following him. His eyes gave Hayate a deadly look. I suppose he is really upset. Hayate thought. But I don't care. He let go of Ryu's cock and moved his hand to Ryu's hair. He loosened the tie to his ponytail so that his beautiful dark brown hair would flow about him. Hayate then bit the cusp of one of Ryu's ears. "You not being a woman makes you even more beautiful to me."

Hayate suddenly found himself flat on his back staring into the cold eyes of his comrade. It was a sight to see: Ryu's flushed face, palms on the floor so that he could be directly over him as he sat atop Hayate's erection, his long hair sweeping the floor on one side, eyes full of lust and distrust, his stiff cock pointing towards Hayate. Hayate, still wearing a soft smile, slowly began to thrust his hips beneath Ryu making him emit a barely audible groan. "You should just give in, Ryu." Hayate whispered. "I can tell that you're almost at your limit."

"And you are not?" He said breathlessly, baring his teeth. Hayate almost didn't feel Ryu untie his red kimono, revealing his naked tanned body. Resting himself on his elbows, he watched as Ryu began to lightly stroke Hayate, sighing all the while."You feel like you are much closer than I am."

Ryu then gripped Hayate's base hard causing him to fail at stifling a loud groan. Pre-cum began to leak from the tip. Ryu pressed his middle finger against the tip of the cock while jerking it to cause more pre-cum to leak. Letting go of the cock, he brought his finger to his mouth and sucked his finger clean. He gave Hayate a distasteful look. "Bitter." he said emotionless, leaning over Hayate until their faces were inches from each other. "But the essence of a man would taste as such if his intentions are dark."

Hayate's jaw tightened. How could Ryu say that what Hayate wanted was wrong? Ryu was the most perceptive out of the two and if he did not realize that Hayate's words were truthful, then it gave Hayate more of a reason to make Ryu realize it. People needed to be shown that they were wrong. This was such an instance.

"Then let me taste your essence."

Ryu was forced closer to Hayate as Hayate grabbed his waist with one arm, lying back on the wood floor. Their foreheads were touching. Shock was evident in the Great Shinobi's eyes as he stared into Hayate's livid ones.

"Did I make you angry, Hayate?"

His lips brushed against Hayate's tightened ones while bringing Hayate's free hand under him. Hayate's fingers closed around Ryu's hot cock as Ryu did the same to Hayate. They both began to pump each other slowly before the pace began to quicken vigorously. Ryu could feel that Hayate was close to cumming by watching his face that was flushed rosy pink and the fact that his cock was pulsing like an arrythmic heartbeat within his hand.

"It looks like I am getting the better of you, Hayate."

He pulled away from him so that he wouldn't make Hayate cum. He didn't want to finish Hayate off so soon. He turned his body so that his ass was in Hayate's face.

"If this is how much you love me," Ryu's dark eyes seemed to peer into Hayate's soul as he looked behind him to view Hayate's face,"then I am sorely disappointed." At that, Ryu's mouth closed over the head of Hayate's cock.

Hayate only hesitated momentarily. Shock waves traveled through the lower half of his body as he felt the wetness of Ryu's tongue on him. He then reached beneath Ryu and untied his kimono. Pushing aside his kimono revealed Ryu's beautifully tanned ass and cock. Pulling Ryu so that he was directly under him, he flicked his tongue across the slit of Ryu's tip before swallowing Ryu whole.


Note: Hayate seems to have a bit of a temper problem in this chapter. He's easily angered..lol. But who wouldn't be? Your love is just within reach but you can't do anything lest something unfortunate happens. And then your love tells you that he/she doesn't believe your feelings? Tell me if you don't feel fireworks exploding in your mind!

And Ryu...*sweet sigh*. I tried to keep his personality as close to what I believe him to be as possible. Reserved though not shy. Easily angered by what he considers foolish. Yet, he's sensitive because he is so reserved and therefore easily hurt. Besides, I love it when gorgeous muscle men blush and are sensitive as the stereotypical woman is predicted to be.
