Karma RukiXShou Part 7

Ruki groaned and opened his eyes warily. He saw Aoi and Uruha looking down at him with concern while Saga was smirking. He got to his feet and looked around for Shou. Uruha pointed him in the direction of the living room. He walked past Saga and barely resisted the urge to kick him in the shin. In the living room he saw Nao holding a crying Shou, trying miserably to comfort him.
"Could you give us a few, Nao?" Ruki asked.
"Sure. Just go easy on him, huh? Oh, and remember it was Kai's idea not to tell him," Nao said as he left.
"Thanks." He took the drummers place on the couch and pulled Shou into his arms.
"I'm sorry," Shou cried into his shirt.
"Shhh. It's okay boo," Ruki soothed. "No it's not. I hit you. Right where you were stabbed," Shou said brokenly. "I'll be fine."
"How do you know? Shouldn't we get you to the hospital just in case?" Shou asked. He pushed the blondes shirt out of the way to examine his stomach. He looked in horror at the numerous scars that now covered the previously smooth skin. They were still an angry red color and Shou ran his hand over the area, pressing lightly to check for any swelling underneath. He stopped when Ruki gave a small groan.
"Does it hurt there?"
"Not really."
"Where? Come on, we're taking you to the hospital," Shou said sitting up.
"I don't need to go to the hospital."
"Yes you do. I probably tore open some stitches or something inside."
"I'm alright boo," Ruki said pulling him back down. He settled the taller man against his chest, wrapping his arms around him. "There, all better."
"Are you sure you're alright?"
"I am now,"Ruki said as he placed a kiss in the dark hair.
"And you'd tell me if you weren't?"
"Promise. Now just hush and let me hold you."
"Okay," Shou said with a smile.
Some time later Aoi and Nao found them asleep on the couch, still clinging to each other and both of them smiling. They crept back into the kitchen and told the others. Uruha smiled and suggested they go home and do some cuddling of their own. Saga made gagging sounds and didn't quiet duck in time to avoid the frying pan to the back of his head. "See you guys later," Nao said as the two guitarists prepared to leave. "I think Saga and I are going to curl up in bed with a good movie."
"Really? What are we watching?" Saga said happily. "Oh I don't know. One of those really sappy ones that you can't stand. How about the one were she has all those dresses?"
"Nao, I'm sorry. I promise I'll be nice to Ruki from now on. Anything but that," Saga pleaded.
"But that's a good one," Aoi said looking at Uruha.
"If you want to watch it that's fine with me," Uruha replied. "I'll be in the bedroom watching something with a much higher rating. It's up to you though."
"On second thought," Aoi pulled Uruha towards the door. "I think you're movie sounds much more interesting. Bye."
"That's not fair," Saga said as the couple left. "You know, Nao, we have some 'interesting' movies we could watch."
"Hmm. You know I think it's been a long time since I've seen Ghost. Maybe we'll watch that instead."
"How about if you just hit me in the head again," Saga said hopefully. "I know!" Nao said brightly. "We'll just have a movie marathon today."
Saga groaned as he was dragged along behind his lover and made to sit through hours of torture. He tried to sleep through some of it but every time he drifted off Nao would shake him and tell him he was missing the best part.

It was late afternoon when Ruki woke up and found himself covered by Shou. This was the perfect way to spend his free time, Ruki decided. Shou woke up and chuckled as he felt the others buldge pressing into him. He lifted his head enough to capture the smaller mans lips in a kiss. Soon they were both moaning and rubbing their hard cocks against each other.
"Not on the couch," they heard Saga say from the hallway. "Take it to the bedroom at least."
"Good idea," Shou said as he pulled away.
"Sorry boo," Ruki groaned. "That's not an option right now."
"What do you mean?"
"First of all, I'm not cleared for any 'physical activity' yet."
"Oh," Shou said. "I hadn't thought about that."
"Then there's also the fact that the month isn't over either."
"I think after what happened I'm willing to overlook that."
"I'm not. I agreed to one month and you only got two weeks. That time I was in the hospital doesn't count. The way I see it, I still owe you two more weeks. Hell maybe even a whole month since I technically did break the whole no sex rule."
"You what?" Shou asked confused.
"It's not what you're thinking," Ruki assured him. "It was Koga and he was holding a knife on me. I didn't want to do anything with him but I didn't have a lot of choice about it."
"I thought Aoi said you didn't."
"He said that huh? Remind me to tell him to keep his mouth shut. We didn't actually have sex but not because he didn't want to. And there are other things that come before you know."
After a good deal of prompting Shou was able to pry the entire story out of his boyfriend. He could only stare in horror as the shorter man paced while he talked. Ruki told him about everything that happened that night, the little he knew about Koga's death and everything in between. When he finished he looked over to where Shou was sitting. The hurt and anger had returned to the others eyes and Ruki swallowed bitterly. "Nao! Saga! What the hell?" Shou yelled across the house.
"Shou? What's wrong?" Nao asked as he came out, pulling on his shirt.
"You guys knew about Ruki being stabbed? And about the fact that Koga was trying to find and kill me?"
"Ano, it was Kai's idea not to tell you," Nao admitted.
"But you agreed?"
"Well yeah."
"It was for your own good, Shou," Saga added.
"So all this time I was here thinking the worst and you guys never said a word. What if Ruki had died? Would you have let me keep thinking he was a lying, cheating bastard? Would you have even told me he died?"
"Shou," Ruki said as he came up behind the taller vocalist. "It's alright boo. I'm fine and they were only trying to protect you. Just like I was. Don't be too mad at them."
"We're sorry Shou. Really," Nao said contritely.
"Fine," Shou relented as he relaxed into Ruki's hold. "Just don't ever keep something like that from me again."
"Deal."
Shou pulled away and told Ruki to wait in the living room for him before he dragged the other two into the kitchen with him. There was some minor complaining and Saga yelped after a particularly loud thump. A few minutes later he came back from the kitchen carrying a picnic basket. "What's with this?" Ruki asked as Shou pulled the blanket from the back of the couch.
"This is what we were about to do before we got interupted last time," Shou said with a smile. "Come on. The weather is just perfect for a picnic today and I could really use the fresh air."
"You sure about this? After everything that I told you happened?"
"Well you did say you owed me another two weeks. And you're not cleared for anything else yet. So let's go have a picnic."
Ruki smiled and pulled him down for a devastating kiss before letting him out the door.
