Okay, first of all, thank you so much for the reviews! I'm so, so glad you guys liked it^^

Here's another chapter full of smut for ya :)

...

"This… this never happened! You hear me?"

Kamanosuke had been as lovely as an angel while sleeping. Indeed, Saizo hadn't been able to resist watching him sleep for a little while. But now the delicate, injured male was very much awake and pissed off. Standing, he flailed his arms about as though he wasn't hurt at all.

"This never happened, and it doesn't change anything! Anything!" He exclaimed. Blushing, he picked up his clothes and started putting them on, dirty or not.

Saizo sat up on his small mattress lazily. He raised one fine black eyebrow.

"Whatever."

"Ugh, I really need to clean myself again…" the other muttered more to himself.

"Do you need me to come with you or…?" Saizo ran his hand through his messy black hair. The sheet barely covered up to his waist but he didn't care.

"No! Why would I want that? Just you wait… I'll…" his voice was trembling slightly, "I'll get better very soon and we'll fight again and this time I'll… I'll…" he glanced away, unable to withstand Saizo's piercing, mocking gaze.

"Yes?"

"Oh shut up!"

He stormed out of the room, leaving Saizo alone with his thoughts. Well, whatever they were, Kamanosuke was pretty sure they weren't as confusing as his own disturbing train of thought.

He stormed out Sanada's castle angrily, a dark aura emanating from him and keeping whoever was in his way at a safe distance. Isanami's stupid brother said hi but Kamanosuke ignored him. Why would he care about such an idiot? He didn't care about anyone. He hated being here.

Kamanosuke went back to the river but at least it was midday, and it was sunny and warm enough. The refreshing, cleansing water would be very welcome right now.

Only when he was deep in the forest, in the water, certain no one was around, only then did he relax a little. He washed his body and his clothes as best as he could and thoughts of last night came haunting him.

The injury was sort of proof that everything had really happened, and that it wasn't just a dream. Not that he'd ever had dreams like that before. In his dreams, Saizo was fighting him… not… doing that… other thing.

Ugh, this was so annoying. Kamanosuke wanted to drown himself in the water. But instead he got out and shivered slightly. He put his clothes on hurriedly event though they were wet, and lied down on the river shore. Looking at the blue sky, he hugged himself and breathed out softly. He closed his eyes and squeezed his arms tight.

The truth was, he couldn't stop thinking about Saizo, not even for one second. It was even worst than before now. Honestly, Kamanosuke hadn't thought that was possible. But apparently it was, because now the raven-haired male occupied his every thought. And now it wasn't just about fighting, or bloodlust…

Later that day, Saizo was talking with Isanami in the main street, in front of a stand. Well actually, she was talking while eating sweets from said stand. But that was okay. Saizo was bored and had nothing better to do. Sanada hadn't given any orders today. Also he had no idea where Kamanosuke was at this point. He hadn't seen him since he'd stormed out of his bedroom.

Isanami was rambling on about how she liked being here with him or something of the sort. Sure it was sweet of her to say such a thing but after hearing it for the thousandth time Saizo pretty much didn't care. Still, he didn't mind staying with her; she got kidnapped so often that at least if he was with her he could prevent it and that would save some precious time.

"Walk with me!" Isanami said at some point, smiling widely as she took his hand.

"What are you doing?" He removed his hand from her hold but they did walk down the street side by side.

"Why won't you hold my hand?" She tilted her head sadly.

He looked down at her then glanced away again. The streets were busy since it was early evening therefore time to eat for most people. Saizo just shrugged.

"Why would I?"

"That's mean!" She exclaimed.

As they approached Sanada's castle Saizo got a little worried. Isanami seemed very angry at him for some reason. And her brother wasn't far, he could see him in the distance – he was hard to miss – apparently he was chatting with Ana. It was never a good idea to make Isanami angry when her brother was around, now was it?

Saizo's fears became true. Isanami apparently got angrier from his lack of response, and as they walked closer her brother saw them and took in the situation.

"Do you hate me Saizo?" Isanami was saying with big, teary eyes, "Because if you do, please tell me what I did wrong! I don't understand…"

"WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? What did you do to her, huh?" The massive male yelled on top of his lungs, startling a few people who were around. Some stayed to watch the potential fight, but at a safe distance. Others scurried away and back to the main street.

"It's nothing like that, big brother…" Isanami started but he was fuming.

Saizo laughed nervously and raised his hands in surrender, "Hey look, no need to start anything all right? Nothing happened…"

"I DON'T BELIEVE YOU! YOU PERVERT!"

What an idiot, Saizo thought, annoyed. He took out his sword, it looked like it couldn't be helped, he needed to defend himself. He threw a glance at Ana but she just seemed amused by the situation. Of course she wouldn't help him at all. Saizo rolled his eyes but he soon realized he shouldn't have dropped his guard, not even for a second.

That damn huge bastard punched him in the gut, really hard. So hard in fact that Saizo went flying a couple feet away, and fell to the ground, holding his waist with one arm. Completely breathless, he got up and raised his sword but he was in a lot of pain. Isanami was freaking out.

"Big brother, I told you to stop!"

Saizo swallowed hard and narrowed his eyes as he looked at that annoying big guy with the intelligence of a two year old.

"All right," he said when he was able to speak again, "looks like you're serious huh? Well I'm serious too now so…"

He didn't have time to finish his sentence; the other was already launching himself at him to attack again, with his freakin' bat this time. But it didn't matter, Saizo was ready. Actually though, it turned out he didn't have to counter attack at all. A certain someone appeared out of nowhere with his crazy wind technique, sending the bigger man flying away a good twenty feet.

Saizo wondered, how come Kamanosuke always appeared out of nowhere to save him…? Not that he needed to be saved this time, Saizo reasoned, but still.

Kamanosuke stood in front of Saizo with his back facing him. His clothes seemed clean and his hair was tied in its usual ponytail on the side, and he looked as normal as ever – well normal for him. The only thing Saizo noticed that perhaps betrayed the fact that he was still injured and weak, was a slight trembling in his legs.

"Don't touch Saizo, all right?" He pointed at the annoying guy, then at Isanami, "And you, I don't know what you did, but stop being a whiny bitch! That's all I have to say…" he lowered his voice and walked away, "You idiots are getting on my nerves!"

He walked past Isanami's brother carelessly and Saizo raised a brow. So Kamanosuke was calling the others idiots but he wasn't so bright himself right now…

"YOU INSULTED MY SISTER!"

Saizo made a run for it. He returned the favor by protecting Kamanosuke, when the angry – more like crazy – man jumped on him with his bat. Saizo skillfully kicked his knee then punched his face before he could reach his target. The guy went down, weakened by pain for now as he held his cheek. Saizo chuckled when he saw Kamanosuke's surprised green eyes.

"You're welcome," the raven teased and then he grabbed his arm, "come on let's go…"

He wanted to get away from that idiotic, insane man as soon as possible. Isanami was by his side, they'd both be fine anyway. Ana tapped Saizo's shoulder lightly and they stopped walking. Kamanosuke took that opportunity to remove his arm, blushing. But he stayed by Saizo's side.

"You guys have fun," the sultry woman winked playfully, "I heard you two last night… Don't worry, your secret's safe with me."

"Shut up Ana," Saizo said trying to sound casual though he was a bit embarrassed. He managed to keep his face emotionless, whereas Kamanosuke was blushing madly. He was kinda cute.

Saizo started walking quickly again and the effeminate young man followed closely enough without a word. They waited until they'd put some distance between them and the group of idiots, before stopping at the edge of the woods and leaning on some trees, facing each other. The sky was getting darker and the wind was refreshing, almost cold in fact but it wasn't so bad. No one was around, and he appreciated the privacy. Saizo tilted his head slightly as he crossed his arms, and locked eyes with the other male.

"Where were you all day? Did you take care of your injury?" Saizo looked down at his small waist as he placed his arm on his own painful stomach. That stupid guy, punching him like that. And he'd been about to hit Kamanosuke with his bat, too. It infuriated Saizo.

"It's fine," he said simply.

Kamanosuke wasn't in his normal state right now. He'd spend the entire afternoon thinking about Saizo, thinking about what they'd done… He just couldn't get it out of his head. Right now he felt flustered, and so damn turned on. He really, really wanted to forget, and go back to his old self. But he just couldn't. Well he supposed he was the same person, except now he really was a pervert. Saizo's fault, all of it.

"You okay?" The raven raised a brow.

The young man clenched his fists as he stared at him harshly. Why was he so turned on just by the sound of his deep, low voice, and those caring, dark blue eyes? He wasn't supposed to be turned on by caring eyes, damn it. And Saizo's lips were really, really nice too. Right now, Kamanosuke very much wanted to kiss him.

He stepped closer without really noticing.

"I… I can't stop… thinking about it." The blush on his otherwise pale cheeks wasn't anywhere near going away.

Saizo smirked and uncrossed his arms, also stepping closer, "Thinking about what?" He teased.

"You know, what we did last night!" He hissed.

"I thought you said it never happened?"

They were really close now, but not touching – yet. The sexual tension between the two was evident. Saizo saw one of the hickeys he'd given him, visible at the hem of his white collar, on the side of his neck. He licked his lips. It kinda turned him on even more seeing the mark he'd left on him.

Kamanosuke followed Saizo's every small movement with lustful green eyes. When he licked his perfect lips it made him go crazy. Soon his arms went flying around the taller male's neck and he brought their lips together in a passionate kiss. He let Saizo dominate the kiss; he secretly loved being dominated by him – or not so secretly, he supposed. Their tongues touched and intertwined heatedly as they moaned and breathed loudly. They pulled away to catch some air then kissed again, even more intensely every time.

Saizo was holding him tight, tugging at his white jacket. Kamanosuke was doing the same, with one hand in the thick, raven locks. Their bodies ended up completely flushed together and they were hard in a matter of seconds.

"God I want you so bad right now," Saizo whispered against his lips as he breathed hard, "Come on."

He grabbed his arm and dragged him further into the woods. He wanted to be sure they'd have some privacy. Once Saizo deemed the area safe enough he leaned Kamanosuke against a tree and captured his flushed lips into yet another passionate kiss. He could never get tired of his sweet, delicious taste. Soon they dropped their weapons carelessly. Saizo slid his hand under the other's jacket and touched the soft skin of his hip, before sliding it further and to his lower back. He liked the almost feminine curve as he finally brought his hand to his cute little ass…

"Kamano…" he whispered, unable to finish saying his name when his lips were assaulted. He had no idea what he'd been about to say, anyway. He just wanted to say his name for some reason.

He wanted to continue kissing him, and holding him. Saizo just wanted to pleasure him and never stop. His other hand eventually entangled in the silky fuchsia strands. He removed the hair tie and threw it away, before caressing the beautiful free hair eagerly. At some point Kamanosuke bit his lip lightly and Saizo was surprised. He pulled away but when he saw the lidded emerald eyes looking at him pleadingly he smirked. He got the hint; he bit him too, harder, and Kamanosuke moaned loudly and wrapped his arms around him tightly.

The wind cooled off their heated bodies slightly. It was dark in the middle of all the large trees. Saizo held Kamanosuke's cheek with one hand and caressed the delicate tattoo with his thumb softly.

"You're so hot," he whispered heatedly before kissing his jaw, and then his neck. He tugged at the collar and gave him one more hickey.

Kamanosuke was holding him back fiercely, and moaning in pure pleasure. But he wanted more, so much more. He fumbled with the hem of Saizo's shirt in an attempt to lift it.

Eventually the raven smiled and pulled away, only so that he could take it off by himself. He threw it away and then proceeded to take off Kamanosuke's jacket and top. He took a moment to observe the big, bright red scar across his stomach. He touched the skin above it ever so slightly then locked eyes with the smaller male.

"I'm sorry."

"Why are you apologizing?" Kamanosuke was honestly confused.

Saizo chuckled and leaned closer, so that his lips brushed against the soft, flushed cheek, "Let's just… not fight again. I don't want something like this to happen again…"

Kamanosuke frowned, "But I love fighting you!"

"I know that," he said slowly, amused, as he caressed his hip, enjoying the feel of his soft, warm skin, "but I don't want to hurt you."

"I love it when you hurt me," he whispered heatedly. Saizo saw it in his eyes now; they weren't exactly talking about the same thing here.

So he adapted quickly to the change of subject, and brought his hand to cup his butt cheek, "You were bleeding here last night though… I'm not sure if…"

"I don't care," he said almost desperately, clinging to Saizo, "I don't care. Please…"

"All right," he breathed and then kissed him. Their embrace was fierce as they held each other tight, hands running everywhere eagerly.

A few moments later Saizo lowered himself and got rid of Kamanosuke's lower garments, even his shoes. He just put everything away then looked at his beautiful, lithe body in the dark. He had his erection right in front of his face and he decided he wanted to try something. So he leaned closer and licked it tentatively. The small male shivered violently and moaned loudly, and he was so sexy as he entangled his hand in his own messy hair, naked body flushed against the tree.

"S-Saizo… Ahh…"

He had put it in his mouth to give him as much pleasure as possible. He loved every sound Kamanosuke made, it was the best music to his ears. He continued doing this for a little while as he held onto the guy's thin hips.

Kamanosuke's legs were terribly weak. He eventually warned Saizo, because he was about to come… This was too much. He'd never felt anything like it before, ever. He couldn't even think about anything, couldn't breathe properly. The pleasure was too intense. Saizo was good with his lips and tongue, damn…

He warned him again but he didn't stop. Kamanosuke had no choice but to come in his mouth. To his surprise Saizo didn't seem bothered at all. He just swallowed it and shrugged slightly, smiling when he pulled away. Kamanosuke let himself fall on his knees, right in front of the other. He placed one hand around his neck.

"Why did you…?"

"You don't taste bad at all, see," he said half-teasing right before kissing him softly.

Kamanosuke blushed and turned his head to the side. Saizo laughed and hugged him. Then he softly pushed him down on the blanket of scattered clothes on the ground. Climbing on top he kissed his neck then his chest, and his nipples… Now that felt good.

"Ahh… yeah… Saizo… b-bite… yeah… just like that…"

Listening to his sexy whispers Saizo complied and nibbled and bit the fragile skin, especially his nipples. This made Kamanosuke insane and Saizo was pleased when he realized he was already hard again. He was so amazing. Anticipating his nails clawing at his back, Saizo pinned his wrists down.

Suddenly though he tensed; they both did. Someone was near. Saizo had been so sure the area was clear so he was caught by surprise.

It turned out it was Sasuke; he jumped off a branch and landed not too far from them, eyes wide. "What are you doing?"

"N-Nothing we just…" Saizo started lamely but Kamanosuke angrily cut him.

"What the hell does it look like? Now go away!"

Sasuke took a few steps back, hesitant, "So… this means you're not after Isanami then?" He looked at Saizo.

Confused, the raven raised a brow, "What are you talking about?" He didn't move away from Kamanosuke. In fact, he was hiding him as best as he could with his body. He didn't want anyone else to see him like this.

Sasuke just smiled, said, "Never mind," and then quickly ran away, jumping up on a tree branch. What the hell was he so happy about?

"He's gone now," Kamanosuke whispered in his ear.

"Yeah," he said as he turned his head to meet his bruised lips in a kiss.

Saizo's throbbing cock was painful so he eventually pulled away so that he could take off his pants and underwear. Now both completely naked, they pressed their bodies together and grinded into each other's hips.

"Fuck…" Saizo hissed, eyes half-lidded, "you sure you're okay? I mean…"

"Yes! Please…"

With his fuchsia hair all messy, his green eyes so lustful and needy, Kamanosuke looked beyond sexy… Saizo smirked as he decided to do this a little differently. So he pulled away slightly, grabbed his shoulder and turned him around. Kamanosuke was docile and quickly understood his intentions. Soon he was on all fours waiting for Saizo expectantly. The sight of his long hair, smooth white back, small waist, his hips and especially his ass was so erotic. Saizo placed kisses all over his back as he stroked himself a few times to gather precum.

He held his breath as he moved closer and his cock touched Kamanosuke's entrance.

"Ahh… Saizo! What are you waiting for?"

No matter how angry his voice was, Saizo just found him cute. He wrapped one arm around his waist carefully as he slowly slid inside of him. It was just as amazing as last night and more. In this position it seemed he could reach even deeper. Kamanosuke weakened as his limbs trembled intensely. As Saizo started moving inside him, Kamanosuke's face eventually went to rest in his arms on the ground. Saizo kept his arm around his waist so he could keep his hips elevated.

"You okay?"

"Hurts… but I love it," the other whispered as he looked behind his shoulder to meet Saizo's blue eyes.

Kamanosuke was smiling actually. He was enjoying this without a doubt. This reassured Saizo so he continued with the intense, deep thrusts.

The sky was completely dark by now, but their eyes were used to it. The wind was plain cold but they were so hot that they barely noticed. Still, Saizo leaned close and pressed his chest to Kamanosuke's back. He moved inside him a bit slower and smoother but the other didn't seem to mind. He was enjoying it just as much. With every thrust he moaned and Saizo thought that he could never get tired of hearing those lovely sounds coming out of that sinful mouth.

He kissed his shoulder and Kamanosuke turned his head almost desperately. Saizo got the hint and leaned even closer to kiss his lips.

Then, against his lips Kamanosuke whispered, "Harder…"

Smirking, he nodded and pulled away. He grabbed his hips with both hands and obeyed Kamanosuke's demand. He pounded inside him fiercely now, panting. They were both trembling with so much pleasure as they got closer to release.

They locked eyes, Kamanosuke keeping his head turned, unwilling to look away from Saizo's handsome face, his toned, sexy body… He reached back and grabbed his muscular thigh with one hand. He swallowed hard then moaned loudly one last time as they both tensed and came.

Saizo enveloped him with his arms and rolled to the side. Kamanosuke was trembling as Saizo caressed his hair soothingly. He moved out of him and they both shivered.

"We should probably," Saizo said after a long silence, "head back… it's cold so..."

Kamanosuke pressed his back into Saizo's chest and hid his face in his arms partly as he curled up on himself, "I wanna stay here…"

"All right."

He couldn't resist running his hand across Kamanosuke's body. His slender leg, the curve of his hip and waist… At some point the delicate male just took Saizo's hand and held it in his.

"We can stay like this for now, but tomorrow we pretend this never happened." Kamanosuke said firmly.

"Yeah, whatever," he rolled his eyes. After what happened today Kamanosuke didn't have much credibility.

"And we don't tell anyone!"

"You moron," he chuckled, "Ana and Sasuke already know…"

"We can deny it!" Kamanosuke turned around in Saizo's arms, to face him. His cheeks were flushed and his green eyes wide and almost scared.

"…I don't know how to say this but… I mean Sasuke actually saw us so…"

"Oh… we can't really deny it, can we?"

He looked so nervous and afraid all of a sudden. It was quite endearing. Saizo squeezed him tight and kissed his soft hair.

"Hey don't worry about it. Nobody cares."

"But now they'll really think I'm a girl!"

Ah, so that's what all of this was about, Saizo thought with an amused smile. He shook his head slightly.

"If they do then I'll tell them you're not…"

Kamanosuke said nothing. He bit his lip as he hid his face in Saizo's chest. He felt tired and cold and he was already getting used to physical contact with him. Actually he kind of craved it constantly now.

"We really should go… or put on our clothes at least…" Saizo eventually said. He grabbed the white and gray jacket and put it over their bodies. It didn't offer much protection from the wind but it was better than nothing.

After another moment of silence Kamanosuke hesitantly said, "Yesterday… you said… we'd go to the baths."

"Ah, yeah, I said that didn't I?"

"Do you think the others are there right now?" He asked shyly. He didn't like the idea of being exposed in front of other people. Just Saizo.

"No I don't think so," he smiled, liking where this was heading.

"Maybe we should go now."

"Sure."

Still, they were reluctant to move away from each other. It took a while before they were standing and fully clothed. They brushed the dirt off their outfits, picked up their weapons, and then started walking. It was a long walk there but they didn't mind. They were silent yet it wasn't awkward. They felt relaxed.

Eventually Saizo pointed out, "Hey we spent an entire day without you trying to make me bleed."

"Day's not over yet," he teased. They looked to the side and their eyes met.

Saizo couldn't resist placing a quick kiss on those delicious flushed lips. Then he smiled teasingly at the shock in the other's green eyes.

"You… Don't act like we're some kind of couple! Got it?" Kamanosuke pushed him angrily, but without much strength. Saizo just tripped but quickly regained balance. They continued walking.

"What are we then?" He teased.

"Rivals."

"Yeah right…" he rolled his eyes.

They walked the rest of the way without anymore talking. It was late when they arrived and thankfully they were alone. They stripped off their clothes and slid in the hot water.

They just sat and relaxed, with the water reaching up to their shoulders. Kamanosuke kept sending sideways glances at Saizo.

He announced, "Next time, I want to…" he blushed, hesitant.

"You want to what?"

"I want to… be on top."

"Ha! No."

Kamanosuke got up suddenly and shivered as his torso was now exposed to the wind. But he didn't care. He brushed the wet hair clinging to his neck behind his shoulder and narrowed his eyes.

"I'm a man too! So I wanna do it," he argued.

Saizo was nothing more than amused by all this. He got up and moved closer to the adorable psycho male. Well, not so much psycho now. Seemed he had tamed him a little. Saizo smiled at his own thoughts as he leaned close and kissed his lips passionately. He slid his arm around Kamanosuke's small waist as he deepened the kiss, teasing him with his tongue. Kamanosuke weakened in his hold and his eyes were lidded when the raven pulled away.

"Sorry, but no," Saizo whispered teasingly.

Kamanosuke quickly recovered from his moment of weakness. "We'll fight for it then!"

So maybe he was still a psycho. Saizo narrowly escaped from a punch thrown at him. Kamanosuke continued trying to attack him but he was clumsy in the water and Saizo just mocked him; without his weapon he wasn't that strong.

"You're such an idiot stop it…"

Kamanosuke didn't stop. He kept trying to attack him and at some point Saizo just took his arms and held them in place. It was difficult though; the small guy was stronger than he looked. They struggled and eventually just fell in the water, panting. Saizo shook his head in disbelief.

"Can't you just relax for a couple minutes damn it?"

The bright-haired male scoffed and moved away, sitting at a couple feet distance from Saizo.

"Fine but this conversation isn't over."

"Yes it's over," Saizo rolled his eyes.

"No it's not!"

"Okay, fine, it's not over," he repressed the urge to roll his eyes again.

"Good."

What a stubborn moron, Saizo thought fondly. He waited a few moments then shifted closer, and closer, until they were a few inches apart. He slid his arm carefully around Kamanosuke to pull him close. He blushed but didn't protest. Saizo didn't really know why he'd done it. He just liked holding him, feeling his lithe body against his – especially if they were naked, that was a huge plus.

"When we go on missions… for Sanada… or whatever… we won't do stuff like that," Kamanosuke said firmly without looking at him.

"Of course not," Saizo agreed.

"Just… when you're bored, and have nothing to do… you can come find me… if you want." He sounded defensive, which made Saizo smile.

He nuzzled his hair a little as he whispered, "Knowing you, I think you'll always find me first."

"Shut up," he said. But he didn't deny it. They both knew it was true.
