Shadows of the Past

Ch. 1

Tanagura. A cold winter's evening in the capital city of planet Amoi. In a window at the top of the tallest tower in the heart of the city, a small light flickered unnoticed by the people far below as they made their way home or to business through the snow.

The light was a roaring fire that filled the room with a cheerful glow. Across the room was a huge bed occupied by two thrashing, moaning figures.

"Aaah, aaah, aaah! So good! Almost there!" screamed Riki the Dark, former leader of Bison, as he rode the cock of his lover and Blondie master. Jupiter's favorite Son and idol of Amoi. Iason Mink. Iason bucked hard and gripped his favorite and much loved pet's petite hips as they both came together and Riki collapsed onto Iason's chest and into his waiting arms.

"Oh, Riki." Iason said with pride and love while brushing his love's bangs back from his sweaty forehead. He kissed him and cradled him gently. "Happy birthday, baby. I hope you have fun at your party tonight. I've invited all your friends and mine." Riki kissed back and lay his head on the expansive chest.

"Miru and Jiin won't be there will they?" he asked . Miru and Jiin were twin brother and sister A-class pets that Jupiter had sent last month for Iason to display at parties since Iason didn't like Riki's perfect, small yet fit, body shown to anyone but himself.

The two pets were selfish and snobbish to Riki. It was hate at first site between the three so they were kept seperated. Miru and Jiin occupied Riki's old room while Riki slept with Iason.

The great Blondie chuckled causing a Riki to experience a rumbling vibration as he lay secure on Iason's hard chest. "No, love. I have sent them to Apathia for a few days so they shall not join us this evening." Iason replied with a kiss. Riki snuggled deeper into Iason's arms wanting badly to sleep a bit. Iason, however sat up then rose from the bed.

"Love, we can sleep later. It is almost time for our guests to arrive so get dressed." Riki was placed on his feet. The mongrel sighed and made his way to the bathroom for a quick shower. He walked out and dressed as Iason took his turn bathing. Riki selected a pair of tight, black jeans and a white sweater that beautifully contrasted his dark skin.

After dressing, Riki shook his hair out and ran his fingers through it creating a sexy, messy style. Iason walked out minutes later and nodded in approval at his pet. He himself picked a navy blue body suit, a white tunic, gloves, and boots.

Iason set his brush down after running it through his long flowing locks of gold. "Now, my precious treasure, let us not be late for your special day." He took Riki's hand and led him into the living room where their guests had already assembled. A mountain of gifts were piled on the coffee table. Riki eyed them with pleasure and excitement.

Assembled were Raoul Am, Xian Sami, Omaki Ghan, Megala Chi, Heiku Quiahtenon, and Yousi Juun. Acompanying them were Yui (Raoul's attendent/lover), Juthian (Attendent/former pet/lover of Xian), Aki and Enyu (The pets of Omaki), Shamira (Megala's pet), and a very pregnant Ima (the only female belonging to Heiku). Yousi came without a pet or Furniture.

Iason's furniture, Daryl, and bodyguards were present as well as those of the other Blondies and Katze. "Happy birthday, Riki!" cried the group in unison. Riki thanked and hugged them all. Presents were opened and cake was eaten. Now it was time for the party games.

The pets/attendents had spent some time whispering to one another which caused their masters to wonder and, for some reason, dread.

"Riki," Iason called. When Riki looked up from the huddle, Iason continued. "What shall we play first?" The pets and Furniture all grinned wickedly causing the terror to grow. Riki produced the game Twister. "You want to play Twister while we watch?" Raoul asked hopefully. The hope was dashed quickly.

"No! We want YOU to play while WE watch!" Yui giggled. Every Blondie sweatdropped anime style.

"Left foot green!" cheered Juthian when he took his turn spinning the pointer. The tangle of golden hair on the plastic mat obeyed his command. While the mighty Blondies shifted in their embarrassing poses, a hand snaked out and brushed someone's unsuspeting crotch. "HEY! OMAKI YOU ASSHOLE!" yelled Heiku.

"Sorry, I thought you were Iason." came Omaki's sheepish reply. A powerful kick landed on someone else's poor skull. "What the fuck was that for?!" shouted Xian as his golden eyes filled with tears from almost being knocked silly. "Sorry, I thought you were Omaki." Iason relpied.

The pets and Furniture were all jumping with glee when the doorbell rang. This caused all the Blondies to crash loudly to the floor. "Aaaaaw!" their servants complained. "Someone get the damn door." came Iason's voice from under the pile of Blondie.

Katze obeyed and opened the door. A moment later he returned to the living room. A small boy about five-years-old followed behind him shyly. His hair was a silky black an fell to his shoulders. His eyes wide and chocolate brown.

Everyone was now on their feet and were gawking at the boy. The child's eyes looked around the group as if searching for someone in particular. His brown eyes found Riki. He gasped and then smiled hugely. What happened next shocked everyone.

The child launced himself into Riki's arms. "Mommy!" he cried.

Riki looked up to bewildered eyes trained only on him and the boy in his arms.
