Disclaimer: I don't own Uraboku...but I do own a 1 year old baby named Sylvester. I have to pay for child care and I'm already poor, so don't sue me!

I have to thank my sister for buying donuts and my tea for giving me inspiration.

I've been working on this extra quick, so I can hopefully just end it soon before school starts...boo. Thank you to everyone who read this story to this point, I must say you guys are pretty awesome.

I have to warn yall, that this chapter contains extremely weird scenes that holler 'yaoi' but I won't change the rating, because they haven't done that deed yet...although they were pretty close to it and I was really tempted to write a yaoi scene. But I decided nah...it's too soon. Enjoy~

Chapter 4

"I wonder how much time has passed already…" Yuki mumbled to himself while looking at the small piece of the blue sky above him. The trees were canopying over him and he walked deeper and deeper.

Yuki decided to settle himself upon a long flat rock which he came across. He lied down on the cool surface and started to ponder on whether if Kanata will find him or not. Yuki was tired from all the walking and closed his eyes to rest.

A few minutes passed and Yuki completely submitted to his tiredness. A loud rustle could be heard nearby, but Yuki was already in dreamland. What rolled out of the bush was a black puff ball with small wings. Its topaz colored eyes peered over to the sleeping body and it suddenly got excited. The black puff ball flew over to Yuki's body and landed on the rock Yuki was sleeping on.

There was a ruby-like jewel engraved on its forehead and it started to glow into a brighter red color. The black puff ball showed curiosity and fascination over Yuki. It took a big bite at the Yuki's arm and the pain was instant which sent waves of alarm in Yuki's brain. He woke up with a pained yelp and he gasped when he saw the black puff ball growling at him in alarm.

Yuki stood up and tried to distance himself from the malicious puff ball. He groaned from the dizzying pain which was spreading throughout his body.

"Yuki?" Kanata appeared and apparently, his whole body was wrapped in the white ribbons again. Yuki felt relief when he saw Kanata…he was always there whenever Yuki was in trouble.

"K-Kanata…I…" Yuki started to call out, but his knees went weak. The place where the black puff ball bit was turning into a gloomy black color.

"Ugh, this creature belongs in the underworld…why is it here?" Kanata said and he hurried over to Yuki. He cast a quick spell on the puff ball and the black ball became frozen up in ice. Then he snapped his fingers and the ice prison shattered into ice shards.

"Y-you didn't need to kill it…" Yuki huffed out. The wound was slowly creeping all over Yuki's body every time he felt a pang inflicted in his body.

"I didn't, I just sent it back to the underworld. Now…" Kanata said and he pried Yuki's hands away from clutching onto his robe.

"Just hold onto me…this may feel a bit awkward…" Kanata said as he loosened Yuki's sash. He completely revealed Yuki's pale upper body. He saw that the wound's creep had already spread all over Yuki's chest. The pattern that the wound creep spread was in a flower, but Kanata was too busy to notice such detail.

Yuki, on the other hand was too occupied with clutching onto Kanata's robe that he almost could feel the urge to rip it off. Kanata took a deep inhale and exhale…then he started to run his tongue along the palm of Yuki's hand and wherever the wound creep had spread to. Yuki let out small gasps as he felt a cold tongue across his sensitive chest.

It was an awkward sight, but necessary…since Yuki was merely a human, he was vulnerable to the underworld creatures. A small bite can cause this much damage to humans, but to Gods it was nothing.

Licking it off was the peaceful solution to stop the wound creep from spreading all over Yuki's body. Or, Kanata could cause Yuki more internal pain and draw out the wound creep by using his ice energy and killing it off. Kanata, of course has chosen the less harmful way.

After a few lickings later, Yuki soon felt a comforting and pleasurable feeling of Kanata's cool tongue on his skin and not the excruciating pain that the wound creep inflicted.

"Nn…ah!" Yuki started to make these weird noises and Kanata was starting to find it very hard to concentrate. He lifted his head up, seeing that his task was finished. The wound creep outline which was a flower had become a real flower.

Kanata felt queasy after knowing what he had done.

Yuki was a bit red in the cheeks, but he didn't really mind anymore. He simply dropped his head on Kanata's chest. Kanata was surprised, but he welcomed the boy with long arms wrapping around Yuki's half clothed body. Yuki held on the flower which was a honeysuckle. The color was nice and inviting to the eyes and the fragrance it emitted a scent that was calming.

Yuki focused on hearing the nice calm heart rate of Kanata's, which quickened after a few seconds. But then it calmed again and Yuki was quite intrigued on how Kanata had a heart.

"Gods have hearts?" Yuki asked in a quiet voice.

"Yes, we don't really need it to live though. But we just have it, so we can experience all these emotions like humans do. We also have an eternal life span…I don't even remember how old I am." Kanata said with a soft chuckle whilst stroking Yuki's soft brown hair. Even though they were not lovers…or at least they didn't consider themselves as lovers…Yuki still took pleasure in the comforting strokes that Kanata offered.

Kanata's voice…his touches…was all serene like a summer touched field, yet chilly like a fresh starting snow storm. Yuki felt nostalgic… he was starting to remember his parents and their last Christmas together. He didn't feel so sad while being comforted in Kanata's embrace.

"Kanata…" Yuki started to call out.

"What is it?" Kanata asked taking his floating focus away from the natural scenery and shifted it to the brunette.

"I'm sorry for having you go through all this trouble. You helped me a lot, even though I know you'd rather help a beautiful woman who is willingly to be your goddess. But I…I'm just a boy and…I don't know if I can help you in achieving your happiness…" Kanata smiled contented with how innocent and endearing Yuki was being. At this point, Yuki had no clue on how his mouth conjured these words up, but the results were quite unexpected.

Kanata moved his hands from the hugging position to reaching into the back of Yuki's robe. He began to stroke Yuki's naked back and Yuki blushed from the warm affectionate gesture.

"I don't really care if you're male or female…as long as you're willing to be by my side…I will be content. I've been a lonely God for a long time, compare to the other Gods." Kanata whispered into Yuki's ear and he lifted his hands and went back to stroking Yuki's hair.

They remained silent and Yuki felt a yearning to make Kanata fully happy. Even if it meant to sacrifice his own chastity to Kanata. It didn't seem so bad…seeing that Kanata was kind and quite the affectionate man he is.

Three years...

Kanata noticed Yuki's expression of pondering and he covered Yuki's eyes. "Don't think too much, or you'll get a headache. Let's go home." Kanata said. "Would you like to be carried, or walk?" Kanata asked with an amused chuckle.

"I would like to walk." Yuki said with a slight blush forming on his cheeks. Kanata held out a hand and he helped Yuki up.

They walked back together to the big house. Yuki still had the honeysuckle in his hand. He gave it to Kanata, so can he do something about it. Yuki was absolutely clueless about flowers in general. Kanata was going stick the honeysuckle somewhere near a wall, so it can grow and receive support as well as shelter. Yuki was amazed on how Kanata knew honeysuckles so well.

"Well, since I used to be bored half the time from being alone…I studied various subjects."

"I see, that's pretty nice." Yuki said.

It was already late afternoon, and Yuki was thinking…

"Kanata, why don't I feel thirsty or hungry? My bladder doesn't seem to work normally either." Yuki said looking at Kanata with a rather puzzled look.

"Well, if you live in my realm you won't have all these human needs. It's good for the environment and you wouldn't need to eat or drink as much." Kanata answered.

"Oh…" Yuki eyes lit up with delight. He didn't need to clear his bladder every few hours at least. That's good…

"Would you like the honeysuckle to be planted here?" Kanata asked pointing towards a spot near a wall.

"Yes." Yuki nodded and they both buried the flower into the ground.

After they were done, Kanata tilted his head and inspected Yuki for a moment.

"W-what?" Yuki stuttered out, he was feeling self-conscious under Kanata's half-eyed gaze.

"Well, I'm pretty sure my saliva didn't leave a pleasant smell on you…" Kanata said with a semi frown.

"Really? Should I go clean myself up?" Yuki lifted one of his hands to smell the after effects of Kanata's licking. For some reason…Yuki's hand smelled like sweetboxes which had a nice vanilla scent to it.

"It has a nice vanilla fragrance to it." Yuki said with a cheerful chuckle.

"Oh, really? That's good…but let's gets you washed anyway." Kanata said and he grabbed Yuki's hand to guide him over to the springs.

"Ah…it feels really cold… I don't remember the spring water being this cold yesterday…" Yuki said shivering from the chilly spring water. He was taking his time stepping into the spring and pulling away again. He poked his toes into the water every two seconds.

Kanata cocked an eyebrow, and he slithered over to Yuki who was being very hesitant. He was starting to get impatient with Yuki.

"Come on, taking cold spring baths are refreshing!" Kanata urged on.

Yuki speculated on how Kanata could be so blithe. Oh, yeah…Kanata was an Ice God, so he was not afraid of anything that was ranging from cold to freezing.

"I-I can't do it! Isn't there a warmer spring nearby?" Yuki whined.

"No, no come on!" Kanata reached out to Yuki's arm and pulled him down.

"Ah! Nn…" Yuki yelped and he started to shiver. He could feel his mouth trembling.

Kanata enfolded the shuddering Yuki in his arms. He decided to lend Yuki some of his ice energy to make Yuki less cold. Kanata lowered his head and placed a soft kiss on Yuki's forehead instead of kissing him on the lips, which would've been much better for transferring ice energy.

Yuki didn't feel much, but he felt that his body was slowly adjusting to the cold water after receiving that little kiss.

"Thanks." Yuki whispered and he laid his head on Kanata's chest.

"Hey, we should really get washing." Kanata said.

"But…we don't have a sponge or a wash cloth." Yuki said.

"That's why we use our hands." Kanata said with a small grin forming on his mouth.

"Uh…right…" Yuki had very little experience in cleaning himself with his hands.

Kanata unexpectedly started to rub Yuki's small shoulders.

"Uwah! What are you doing?" Yuki was completely startled and embarrassed.

"Ah, well I guess I'm helping you? Don't worry I won't touch you down there, unless you want me to." Kanata joked and Yuki felt his cheeks flare up in a deep crimson color.

"I can do it myself!" Yuki insisted, but Kanata hovered over Yuki. He ran a wet hand over Yuki's hair and touched Yuki's neck which left a lingering feeling. Yuki could feel a sigh wanting to be let out of his mouth, but he held it in. Kanata stroked Yuki's face with his cool hand and he ran a slender finger on Yuki's left clavicle then the right clavicle. He wanted to know how Yuki's smooth skin felt like under every bone. But that would be molestation without Yuki's consent…oh what the heck; he was already engrossed in that thought.

Kanata was starting to understand why the snow nymphs chose Yuki…he was becoming more and more fascinating under his eyes.

"If you're interested, you can touch me too." Kanata teased in a low husky voice. Yuki held in a small flustered gasp when Kanata's hands ran along the side of his chest and all the way down to his hip bones. Yuki wasn't sure why he wasn't resisting…his hands yearned to feel the pale chest that stood in front of him.

"Is it really okay?" Yuki muttered timidly. Kanata smiled and he took one of Yuki's idle hands to touch where Kanata's beating heart was. Yuki couldn't hold back this gasp when Kanata guided his small frail hand over Kanata's smooth skin and then to his beautiful face.

"Oh my God…is Kanata acting perverted again? He seems to be acting like that whenever he's in the springs…" Daphne and her older sister were hiding behind a tall bush. They were obviously checking up on the two because they had nothing to do back at their own home. The sight was completely dazzling in their eyes…

"Seems so…" Daphne's older sister, Odora nudged excitedly.

"Wow…why won't he just do it?" Daphne whispered eagerly. Odora couldn't help, but chuckle.

"It wouldn't be as enjoyable. The humans call it foreplay, and that's what lovers do to incite the passionate love making process. I'm guessing Kanata is that kind of type who likes to incite and then ignite. Besides, I doubt that he's going to be forceful to the boy, just look at him! He's like a little baby…" Odora whispered. Daphne nodded understandingly. They continued to observe the intimate moment that the two males were sharing.

Ah, sorry if this chapter was too fluffy and awkward xD I can see why fanfiction writers love writing fluff...it's funny and sweet...

I love my Daphne and Odora :) Google sweetbox and you'll see what it is [flower not the singing group haha]

Anyways, review away if you like/hate this chapter :-)

Ciao~!
