Purification

Stage 4 - The Dark

"Sanae."

Hanekoma blinked curiously, and looked over. "Boss? I thought you were…"

"Oh, I was," the silverette chuckled out, before he gave a sigh and raised his arms in a small shrug. "Unfortunately, I seem to have hit a snag. Hate to say so, but I need some assistance to make this work."

Hanekoma chuckled. "A'ight. You're the boss, Boss."

The silver-haired youth who had stolen both Joshua's voice and face smirked cheekily, amethyst eyes sparking in amusement. Sanae never noticed the difference between the copy and the original, so there was no way he could know just what horrors Joshua was going through at that exact moment.

"Comfy?" Neku asked with a small chuckle, which was answered by a muffled jumble of words that could mean anything, though Neku could guess the actual meaning.

Since he really hadn't been feeling up to keep standing for much longer, Neku had teleported both himself and Joshua to a more "private" spot. It was a pretty dark room, with only a few blood red candles to light the room, which didn't even show all that much, save for the wide, round bed in the very center. The bed itself had four posts, two on one side and two on the opposite. Which were currently being used to keep Joshua in place, a number of red "ropes", made entirely out of the fur from Neku's tails, tying his wrists to the posts. And to finish the "bound" look, Neku had also stuffed a gagball in between Joshua's teeth to shut him up. Hence the muffled response to his earlier question.

Neku chuckled at the dirty look Joshua shot him, before he slowly dragged his nails across Joshua's skin, grinning at the muffled whimpers Joshua let out.

"So sensitive… I'd almost say this was your first time…" he murmured absently, though he wasn't prepared for the sudden flinch that followed shortly after those words were spoken. He paused his ministrations for a moment, then allowed a slow, evil smirk. "Oh? Is something wrong, Composer?"

Joshua's cheeks turned red and the ageless boy turned his head away pointedly, making Neku chuckle.

"So… I'm your first?" Neku crooned as he placed his fingertips on Joshua's chest and leaned forward to whisper in his ear. "In that case… let's make this last for as long as we can, ne?"

Joshua tensed, his heart rate speeding up to the point where he was sure it'd pop out of his chest soon. He tried to even out his breathing to prevent himself from hyperventilating, but just as he did, Neku began to lick along his throat, throwing any chances Joshua had had at calming down out the window. The Kitsune chuckled as he began to suck, quite hard, on the juncture between his throat and shoulder. That was sure to leave a bruise later.

Neku's hands, in the meantime, were busy running across the expanse of Joshua's chest, exploring every little bit of skin he could reach. Whenever he found a sensitive spot, Neku would pause for about a minute or two, teasing that specific area, enjoying the muffled cries and whimpers Joshua got out from behind the gagball.

Finally, though, Neku started moving further down with more than just his hands, dragging his tongue over Joshua's chest, pausing to lick and suck the pale boy's hardened nipples until they turned red, as well. Joshua twisted his head left and right with his eyes tightly shut in an attempt to get rid of the treacherous feelings coursing through him, but it was no use; Neku knew exactly what he was doing and where he had to be to make Joshua squirm.

The Kyuubi moved the pads of his fingers over the Composer's hipbone, following the slight curve he found there before going back up, lightly scraping the edge of his nails along the skin. As his fingers roamed over the skin, though, Neku used his mouth to trail a path ever downward, smiling quietly as Joshua's breathing picked up, the holes punctured through the gagball allowing him to breathe through his mouth, still, which he'd need at this point. Joshua tried to speak around the gagball, which sounded an awful lot like Neku's name, but the Kitsune merely smirked and nipped at his stomach, before dipping his tongue into Joshua's navel, drawing a startled yelp from the ageless boy beneath him.

"So responsive…" Neku purred softly, his deep blue eyes darkened with lust, even as a few of his tails moved swiftly to retrieve something from the shadows beneath the bed. "Makes me wonder… how you'd react to sound…"

Joshua blinked in confusion, but before he could (try to) ask, he let out a muffled wail as Neku once again took Joshua's need into his mouth, sucking long and hard as he bobbed his head up and down. He was actually glad right then for the gagball, because he didn't even want to know what kind of sounds he'd make without it.

And then Neku moved back again and Joshua whined, as much as he hated to admit it.

"Do you know…" Neku spoke suddenly, pausing to lick away a trail of saliva from the corner of his mouth, "what the most sensitive spot is of your penis?"

Not sure where this was going, Joshua was almost afraid to answer, but he slowly shook his head in a negative answer anyway.

"Hmm… thought so." Neku sounded almost thoughtful as his tails moved about behind him. Then the redhead reached out with his hand and put the pads of his fingers on Joshua's cock, moving them from base to tip so agonizingly slow that Joshua whimpered. "Some people claim that it's the shaft, but others say that it's just on the underside…" Pause to rub the pad of his thumb over the aforementioned spot. "…and of course, those who are 'uncut' say that the head is most sensitive." Another pause to rub the forefinger over the slit and smearing precum over Joshua's cock. "However, there's a spot that's even more sensitive than any of those."

Neku held up his hand as one tail moved over and plucked a thin, metal rod from the much longer limb. The smirk that passed over the Kitsune's face just then was downright scary as he moved his body along Joshua's to whisper three words that made the ashen haired boy begin to panic.

"On the inside."

'Oh no… oh shit!' Joshua's eyes were the size of saucers as he started to struggle against his bonds with more force/desperation than before, even as Neku moved back again. When Neku touched his cock again, Joshua let out a muffled wail and bucked his body, trying to get out of Neku's grip.

Unfortunately, that failed miserably when Neku's tails shot out and wrapped themselves around his body, pinning him down.

"I suggest that you don't move," Neku said in a low, cold voice. "You're gonna feel it regardless, but I'm giving you the choice in how much pain you wish to endure." Joshua froze and stared at the Kyuubi in fear, but Neku's eyes showed no mercy. "And if you don't want to make this worse on yourself, I suggest you keep still."

Joshua's body trembled in fear. His breath was coming out in quick gasps for air, but he did as Neku said and kept still. He certainly didn't like it, but he didn't doubt that Neku would do what he planned to do whether Joshua was struggling or not. But despite that, he couldn't shake off his fear. Neku's wrath wasn't something he was too eager to test out any more than he already had at that point, since he had none of his powers as a Composer.

He had no choice but to go along with whatever Neku wanted if he wanted to make it out of this situation.

When Neku realized he was no longer going to struggle, the Kitsune allowed a small smirk, even as his fingertips ran over his member again, his tails moving away and releasing him. "Good boy," he cooed softly, before he used all five fingers to grip the head and brought forth his other hand. Joshua immediately shut his eyes and bit down on the gagball as hard as he could, fisting his hands so hard that his short nails threatened to draw blood.

Sadly, Joshua had forgotten that if you shut your eyes while you were still conscious, all other sense were heightened.

Because of that, when the thin rod of metal was placed against his head, right over the slit, Joshua felt it much stronger than he would've if he'd kept his eyes open. His muscles bunched together in alarm when he felt it slip inside and then continue further down and in, but he did his best not to move other than that. Neku's motions were merciless; he pushed it in without pause, and even if it was still a relatively slow pace, it hurt like hell! Nothing was supposed to go in there!

He struggled against a scream/wail that sought to make its way out of his throat, even though he knew he was gagged. He also refused to believe that the moisture gathering at the corner of his eyes was the beginning of tears, blaming it instead on sweat rolling into his eyes.

And then it stopped and Joshua's body relaxed a tad. He allowed himself to breathe, if only for a moment, since he had no idea what came now. Though of course, he didn't actually want to know.

Neku chuckled icily, and the sound made Joshua whimper softly from behind the gag. "Don't relax just yet, Yo-shi-ya," Neku whispered into his ear, punctuating every part of his name with a stroke of his fingers. "You're about to experience… just how sensitive this section of your body is."

That was all the warning Neku gave before he pulled the rod back up, making Joshua whimper in pain as its dented surface moved along the inside of his cock. It was almost out, almost, and then Neku practically shoved it back down, the searing pain that followed ripping a muffled scream from Joshua's throat.

And this time there was no pause as Neku pulled it out and forced it back in over and over again. Joshua screamed and cried as he tried in vain to get away, but Neku's tails had come up to hold him down once again, keeping his lower body still while never once ceasing what he was doing.

And then Neku changed angle just slightly and Joshua's screams from behind the gagball changed from agonized to pleasured when a sudden jolt of unadulterated pleasure caused him to see stars and his back to arch up on its own accord for a brief moment.

"Aaahh, there we go… Found it," Neku chirped with a small, victorious chuckle, before he continued his motions at that angle.

Even through the gag, Joshua's cries and moans were perfectly audible and the silverette was finding it to be very difficult to breathe as the pain from a mere moment ago became overridden by nothing but raw pleasure. He couldn't stop himself from trying to buck his hips up in an attempt to get more of that feeling. But no matter how much pleasure coursed through him, Neku's seal prevented him reaching the release he so desperately wanted.

And then Neku stopped entirely, the rod firmly positioned against that spot that had nearly driven Joshua mad, and moved back. When Joshua whined pathetically, Neku chuckled and moved his body over Joshua's, reaching behind the ageless boy's head and clicking the gagball's strap loose to pull the object out of Joshua's mouth.

After Joshua coughed a few times for breath, Neku murmured: "See? That wasn't so bad, was it?"

Joshua blinked wearily a few times, before he scowled at Neku, or tried to, at least, since it came out as a pathetic pout.

Neku actually chuckled as he moved forward to rest his arms on Joshua's chest, resting his head on his hands while looking to the Composer with a small, cheeky grin. "Aww, don't look at me like that. I'm sure you'll love this next part."

"…there's more?" Joshua gasped out with a hint of dread.

Neku's only response was a small smirk as one of his tails moved to rummage under the bed again. "On a side note, Joshua… I'm safe to assume you know your way with music, ne?"

This couldn't be good…

Joshua slowly nodded his head, and Neku allowed a smirk.

"Good. Then… can you tell me what this is?" asked the Kyuubi as he brought forth one of his tails, which was holding a small object that Joshua recognized.

"…a tuning fork…" Joshua said slowly, not sure he was going to like where this would be going to.

"Very good… You also know what it's for?"

"…Why are you even asking me this?" Joshua choked out, before he answered the question in spite of himself. "A tuning fork is used to fine-tune instruments that use strings."

"Hmhmm… And how does it do that?"

"Why are you asking me this?" Joshua asked again.

"Humor me, ne?" Neku chuckled out casually.

Joshua knew he didn't like the mischievous glint in Neku's eyes, and he knew that, for whatever reason Neku was asking, he wasn't going to like what came next.

"It… uses vibrations to make the strings produce a sound so that… it becomes possible to… to… Ah!"

When Joshua paled as he realized what was going to happen, Neku allowed a laugh.

"N-no… Neku, please no!"

But Neku wasn't listening as he struck one of the bedposts with the tuning fork. Immediately, the small instrument started to thrum in Neku's grip as the two ends vibrated almost impossibly loud. Joshua tried to move away, but there was nowhere for him to go, and Neku's other hand was keeping his hips pinned to the mattress as he moved the madly vibrating instrument along his skin.

"N-Neku please sto-" Joshua tried to beg, but only moments after he did, Neku reached his groin and brought the tuning fork to the tip of Joshua's need. Or more specifically, the tip of the metal rod still poking out of it.

The tuning's fork vibrations reverberated through the metal rod and drew an almost ear-splitting scream of pleasure/pain from Joshua's mouth. The ageless boy's eyes very nearly rolled all the way back in his sockets as he screamed and thrashed helplessly on the bed against the waves of pleasure ripping through him, since the rod was still aimed dead-center for the spot that had made him see stars before. He barely heard Neku's laughter over his own screams, his eyes shut tight as tears began to gather at the corner his eyes.

But that much pleasure also helped remind him of something else; Neku's seal would not let him come. His cock was actually hurting at that point from being denied to come at all, which only made his screams that much louder.

"Ne-Ne…Ne-kuuuuu…!" he wailed as Neku hit the tuning fork with his nails to keep it from stilling. "Please… no more…! Please…! Please, I-I… Aahh! Ne…ku!"

Neku fell silent as he watched Joshua thrash about from the rush of pleasure ripping through him, with no possible hope for release. After a long moment, he shut his eyes and reached out, using his thumb and forefinger to completely still the tuning fork in one moment. Joshua choked when it stopped, gasping harshly for breath, tears still running down his cheeks even with his eyes tightly shut. And the Kyuubi just watched him with an unreadable expression on his face.

"Ne… Nek…u… Please… I… I…"

"…You, you, you. That's all the world is about, isn't it?"

Joshua blinked once and turned to Neku in confusion, not understanding why Neku's voice suddenly turned ice cold. His expression had also changed from amused to cold and dangerous, his eyes burning with a simmering fire that threatened to flare up at any time.

"Ne… Neku?" Joshua asked slowly.

But the Kyuubi said nothing as he reached for the metal rod, and without a word of warning yanked it out of Joshua's cock, making the silverette howl out in pain. The Kitsune wordlessly tossed aside the piece of metal, his tails moving busily behind him even as he finally spoke.

"As fun as that was… I'm afraid it's about time we got down to business…"
