Chapter 2

Kage wondered if there was something wrong with the female gander of the present more often that he cared to admit during that tour. He certainly didn't remember ever reacting like 99% of the female population did, regardless of age. Everywhere that his new classmate had shown him he'd been followed. At first it was only a few, but as they continued it only grew larger. He could sense that their attraction to his person, along with their jealously, was already vicious.

The way they reacted to his presence reminded Kage of a more obsessed Koga when he'd been female.

It scared the crap out of him.

So after politely declining his classmate's invitation to join her for lunch, he fled to the roof of the school. Hopefully he wouldn't be smothered by obsessive admirers there.

Looking at the deserted area he was relieved to have been right. No one else was in sight.

Kage released a breath of relief and settled down against one of the metal beams that supported the chain-link fence that enclosed the perimeter of the roof. 'no wonder Sesshomaru always avoided all those banquets the other lords threw, dealing with so many females is tiring.' He knew that he was an attractive male. He'd been told often enough by his family and many female demons complimented his unqinue coloring, especially whenever Sesshomaru designed to go to one of the many socail engagements he, as The Lord of the West, was forced to attend. His lord brother often brought him along becauuse he could stop him from killing anyone that pushed him too far.

Remembering all those greedy bitches, no insult intended, irritated him. It didn't help his already worsening mood that the day was only half over. And he couldn't simply kill all the annoying females that followed him around, they were human, it would be a crime.

When he realized the direction his thoughts were going, he sighed and rubbed his face. Kami he's been with Sesshomaru for so long that he sounded like him.

"What's ya doing nya?"

Kage's head snapped up at the new vocie, and was, surprised, at what he saw. There, floating a little above him, was somethig that resembled a cat. Cat-like paws and ears with blueish fur graced the small being, it's amber slit eyes were looking at him and filled with miscief, it's tail swishing back and forth. Black pants and shirt with a silver cross image covered it's form. He narrowed his blue eyes at the strange creature before him, he sensed that the creature had no ill intent towards him but other than that and a spirit filled with miscief, he could sense nothing about it. It was supernatural was a given, other than youkai he'd never seen a being with animal appendages.

"Other than trying to stay away from all those crazy females? Attempting to surive my first day of highschool, it dosen't seem to be working out too well," he answered.

The creatures amber eyes widened in surprise, "You can see me, nya?!"

"Of course I can see you. You're kinda've easy to spot you know, with your looks. Is there a reason I shouldn't?"

The being floated down to him, settling itself on his raised knee, "Yeah, you shouldn't be able to see me. Only people with shugo charas or a hearts egg should be able to, and you don't have a birth scent. How can you see me if you don't have a birth scent?"

Guardian character? Heart's egg? Birth scent? Inwardly confused by the terms the creature used, outwardly he shrugged, "Don't know. Are you one of these 'shugo chara'? What are they?"

"A shugo chara is a person's would be self, if they dream to become who they want to be hard enough they got a hearts egg and a shugo chara is born. I'm Ikuto's shugo chara, name's Yoru!" Yoru said with a cute smile, his velvet ears twitching.

Ah, that explains it, he thought a pang of envy to whoever Yoru's companion was. Mikos and other holy beings are servents of the Kami. What use would they be to the Kami if they dreamed to be something different?

Despite his grim thoughts Kage couldn't help but smile at the 'shugo chara' before him. Even if he didnt know who this 'Ikuto' was, the way Yoru acted reminded him of his youngest grandkit, full of innocent mischief much like his father and those cute fuzzy ears that he couldn't resist. Whoever 'Ikuto' was was very lucky.

Petting Yoru's furry head with a finger, Kage's eyes softened and a small smile graced his face. "Nice to meet you Yoru, I'm Kage Taisho."

"Nice ta meet ya Kage nya!"

"Yoru."

Yoru turned around following his name, flying of his knee with an happy "Ikuto!" to a familiar bluenette.

"Ah, Tsukiyomi-san, you must be the 'Ikuto' that Yoru speaks so fondly of," Kage acknowledged polietly, but not bothering to get up. He was quite comfortable where he was and it was a ingrained cue in demon society to say that he outranked the younger male without them having to fight to prove who was dominant. Kami knows he'd have to do it plenty of times when he was Sesshomaru's General. If he'd been a demon he would have seen it, and intrupreted as 'I am older than you and demand respect' or 'I have more power, don't push me whelp or I will destroy you'. But he wasn't a demon, he was human so he wouldn't pick it up, though he seemed not to mind and Kage unconsciously took it as the younger male acknolowging his superiority,

Purple blue eyes that reminded Kage of tanzanite gemstones widened in shock, "You can see Yoru?"

"Apparently. Yoru was also surprised, according to him I don't have a birth scent."

Said chara floated around his bearer, a frown on his face, tail twitching. "It's really weird nya. That he doesn't have a scent but can see me, but Kage's really nice!"

"Thank you for the compliment Yoru," Kage said once again smiling at the cat-like chara. He really was just like Kain.

Ikuto didn't seem to share his chara's attitude, he narrowed his eyes at Kage, "How is it that you can see Yoru if you don't have a scent or your own charas?"

The question didn't really come out as a question, more like demand that Kage tell him what he knew. Kage frowned at the boy his eyes loosing their softness and resembling hard blue stone. He wasn't really sure that he liked his attitude, and wether the boy knew it or not he was challenging him. It was both foolish and dangerous for his physical health, though the boy had no way of knowing he had over 500 years of experience dealing with fool-hearty demons that refused him his place in demon society. Such experiences made one deadly, even if he couldn't kill humans, he was far stronger than Tsukiyomi Iktou. So what if he could see Yoru? He'd seen much weirder in his lifetime, there was no need to be so defensive.

"There is no need to be so hostile towards me Tsukiyomi-san. I can see Yoru just because I can, no other reason," Kage said, his voice low and calm despite wanting to punish the boy for his insolence. He was no longer relaxed, his body tense, ready for attack though he still did not get up. Dont he's human, remember that, his reasoning whispered to him.

That obliviously wasn't the answer the bluenette was looking for, ears appeared on top of his head. Pressed flat against his skull and hissed at him, dull human teeth bared.

Faster than he anticpated, Kage reacted. He pounced the younger male, grabbing his arm and twisting it to his back while his legs tripped him and made him fall to the hard concrete roof. His hips kept him pinned to the ground while he put some of his weight on the boy's wrist, keeping it in place. Iktou tried to use his other arm to knock him away.

Kage alowwed his elbow to connect, wincing a little before his ki reacted to sooth the pain. He grabbed his other wrist and forcefully pulled the arm straight, removing his elbow from his ribs, and pinning it away from his body.

They were hip to hip, the bluenette's legs spread slightly when the black haired male's knee connected with the back of his own. Back to chest, Kag's strength keeping Iktou pinned beneath his own body with little effort. He raised himself a little off the the boy, moving his face closer to Iktou's furry ears.

"Calm yourself Tsukiyomi-san before you force me to do something unpleasant to you," Kage whispered, mindful to the noise sensitifity of his ears.

"No way, you bastard," he said, wiggling, trying in vain to free himself.

Kage had to grit his teeth as the boy beneath him wiggled. His tight ass grinding against his flaccid cock. If he keeps this up it won't stay that way for long. He raised a kitsune and officially adopting Shippo had caused him to develop several attributes of the species, mainly that he was fine with having either gender as a lover. He'd had several in his lifetime of both genders.

"Tsukiyomi-san, stop moving," his voice coming out harsher than he planned.

All Kage got was a snarl in reply.

I warned him.

Kage bit down on Ikuto's furry ears, making the young male yelp in surprise. Tugging at it with the grip of his teeth, causing Ikuto to whimper and Kage to growl low in warning. He released the ear, kissing the spot where he bit with a bit of ki on his lips to sooth his pain a little. Kage felt Ikuto sigh with relief. He moved down to the boy's neck and bit it, hard. Not enough ot draw blood but enough that Ikuto hissed in pain. Instead of kissing the quickly forming bruise Kage sucked, making the bruise form faster, become more pronounced.

Seeing the dark mark against the boy's skin made his cock harden with the wonderfully domineering feelings it caused. He licked the mark, his ki coming to the surface and releasing into the air around them. Ikuto relaxed against his ki, shivering in pleasure when he licked and nibbled on his now human ears. Kage ground his cock into his backside, right in between the clefts of his wonderfully tight ass. He could imagine pounding into it, pumping the other male's cock as he did for hours, making him cry out in pleasure till he lost his voice screaming his name.

"Stop hurting Ikuto nya!"

Kage froze at the sound of Yoru's voice, his mind finally registering to what he had almost done. Ikuto tensed underneath him, the bruises against his tender flesh made him feel guilty. He'd been called a lot of things in his lifetime, done much as well, but he would let Sesshomaru melt his body with his poison before he had sex with someone against their will. He released Ikuto's outstretched arm, and he reacted just like he anticipated.

Kage allowed himself to fall back with the force of the blow, far away from the blue haired young man. Ikuto wrapped his arms around his body, snarled at him, and left.

All Kage was left with was a bruised cheek and the awful feeling of guilt.
