A/N: This story is rated M because of specific chapters later in the story. The story jumps around from one POV to another which include overlapping time frames. I have this story on two other sites that let me use a different format that makes it easier to read. If you want to try one of those site instead, let me know & I'll try to PM you the links.

One moonless night where the only light comes from the stars that peek through the trees, a man walks through the woods along a path that's only visible in his mind. He's comfortable in these woods, so comfortable that he doesn't notice the change in the air. Unaware he's being stalked by something that's otherworldly.

From up in the trees he watches as the man who has haunted his fantasies weaves through the trees, hopping over tree roots. The first time he became aware of him was by his scent. He followed it and when he finally laid eyes on him, he was stunned by what he saw. The man was beautiful. So beautiful in fact that it took him a moment to realize that the man was human.

He had ivory skin that seemed to glow in moonlight, framed by black hair, full lips the color of red temptation, and brown eyes like melted chocolate. His body was slim, but when he wasn't staring at the man's face, he often found his gaze landing on the man's plump ass. He'd been watching him for almost a month and it was getting harder to keep his distance.

It was rare for a human so full of life to wonder around the Aokigahara forest who wasn't paid to do so, and even those humans didn't dare come out here at night. But this man always seemed so at ease during his walks, despite all the dark events that have taken place, that are still taking place here. He could sense the respect the man held for these woods, which was only reason Others hadn't attacked him yet, well, that and the fact that Jaejoong was never far from the man whenever he entered the woods.

There are stories about his kind and the Others, creatures that lurk in the forest that humans no longer put much stock into, which is why there are so many deaths in this forest. They weren't all suicides like the humans seemed so inclined to believe, but humans who come here to be disrespectful to the spirits that reside within the forest are often spirited away and killed, their bodies hidden away so that they can't be given a proper burial as punishment. They were forced to become a part of the forest.

The sound of the man gasping brings Jaejoong out of his thoughts just in time to see the man trip over a tree root and fall. Jaejoong leaps from his hiding place just as the man begins sliding down the incline, which Jaejoong knows could severely injure or potentially kill the human.

As he begins to slide down the man tries to grab on to anything that will stop his fall, but is unable to get a grip on anything. Just as he's about to brace himself for the collision that he knows is coming, something snags the arm of his coat, bringing him to an abrupt halt with pain shooting up and down his right arm and shoulder. He takes a deep breath to try and clear his vision from blurring from the pain.

When he's sure he isn't going to pass out he uses his left hand to get a firm grip on the ground before turning his head to check the damage of his right arm.

Bad idea.

He zeros in on the blood seeping out of a huge gash on his arm that was obviously almost impaled on a sharp, thick root which had stopped his decent. He has to fight the urge to both throw up and pass out again. Forcing himself to look away from his arm and up the incline to see how far he'd fallen only to come up short.

Someone was standing at the top of the incline.

Jaejoong stared down at the man whose fall had been stopped by a broken tree root sticking up out of the ground and smelling his blood right away. Its smell so tempting that Jaejoong has a hard time focusing on anything else.

"Please, help," pleads the man, snapping Jaejoong out of his haze.

Heart racing, Jaejoong knows the smell of the man's blood would draw Others to their location soon, he quickly makes his way down to the man. Once he's close enough, he quickly invades the man's mind and puts him to sleep. He makes quick work of unhooking the man's arm before scooping him up into his arms and rushing off to the area where he entered the forest.

Once Jaejoong is sure that no one had dared to follow them he sets the man down against a tree and quickly notices how much paler he's gotten. Jaejoong's gaze goes to the man's wounded right arm and sees that it's still bleeding.

He's losing too much blood.

Taking a hold of the man's already torn coat sleeve, Jaejoong rips it off without a second thought, wraps it tightly around the man's wound, causing the man to wake groaning in pain.

The man blinks to clear the fog in his mind and blurry vision and comes face to face with the most beautiful man he's ever seen. Pale white skin framed by burgundy hair, full pink lips, and eyes such a bright green they seemed to be glowing. For a split second the man was sure he was dreaming, until he tried to lift his right arm only to hiss in pain when he realizes that he can't seem move to it at all.

"Are you alright," asks the green eyed beauty.

"Not sure. I can't seem to move my arm," he says with a bitter laugh. "I must have dislocated my shoulder when I fell."

"I can fix that, if you want."

"Um, I should probably have a doctor look at it," says the man leaning farther into the tree away from Jaejoong.

"What's your name?"

"Junsu."

"Junsu," Jaejoong repeats and smiles. "My name is Jaejoong. Junsu, do me a favor and look into my eyes."

Junsu can't seem to help but comply as Jaejoong's gaze seems to lure Junsu's mind into a haze. With Junsu distracted, Jaejoong quickly takes hold of Junsu and snaps his shoulder back into place while quickly muffling his shout of pain with a kiss.

It takes a moment once the pain subsides before Junsu realizes that Jaejoong is kissing him. When Jaejoong pulls away all Junsu can do is stare at him dumbstruck.

Jaejoong averts his gaze from Junsu's so he won't see the hunger Jaejoong knows is there. Kissing Junsu was a bad idea, it was far better than anything he imaged and Junsu's soft lips plus the smell of his blood still hanging in the air nearly drove Jaejoong wild. It had taken every ounce of his self-control not to sink his fangs into Junsu to find out if Junsu tasted as good as his blood smelled.

Jaejoong stands and puts a little distance between him and Junsu while being very aware of the fact that his arousal is showing and says "You should leave now and go get your arm checked out." Jaejoong turns to head back into the forest, but stops and while keeping his back to Junsu he warns, "Oh, and Junsu, it would be very unwise and unsafe to come back to the forest until that wound on your arm has completely healed. Especially at night, which you seem so fond of doing."

Junsu watches as Jaejoong disappears into the dense tree line while his heart continues to pound in his chest.

What the hell just happened?!
