Chapter 9 -Heightened Decisions
Still standing in the water pressed up to K's body, Hiro pulled back from the kiss and took his hand. "Come with me…you need you to guide me first with pleasure," he insisted. "Let's go to a warmer place my blue-eyed stranger."
It was a term of endearment that Hiro found also turned him on.
Tingling all over, baring an almost painful erection, Hiro led his blond acquaintance back to the camp fire. He couldn't stop what he needed, what he wanted to give, what the gods told him to do! From what he felt pressed against his belly, the gods told K he wanted it too. And even though K was a perfect stranger, a man unlike himself, not a Nakano…he didn't care. This made the entire thing even more thrilling, and to top it off, he wanted to make K feel better.
Purr.
He wanted to feel him…
Still, he couldn't imagine what it felt like finding out his entire family had disappeared on him, but then he didn't fully understand how K had come crossing his path that day at the river either. Strange secrets surrounded K and one day he hoped to find out about them all.
Hiro hoped no one was at the camp fire, but it didn't matter either…he wanted K now, so they'd just have to watch. He could've taken K down on that rocky shore, tantalize him under the moon, but the water made him feel cold—he was sure K was chilled too. Why should he force cold on him, when all he wanted to give him was warmth?
K didn't know what to say as he followed Hiro, holding his hand firmly. One minute he felt pathetic and the next he being swept off for pleasures. So much swirled through his mind, he knew without words what Hiro's intentions were, his cock twitched at the thought. It'd been so long since he'd pleasured a man. When mates were unattainable, sometimes needs were placated by fellow males. Male companionship was a large part of their hunting ritual within the Winchester clan; men believed that the orgasm brought them inner strength. That was fine with K and it was fine with their female partners. But during their journey to this land, it'd been much to cold to pander in much sexual delights for strength.
But then suddenly his mind flashed to that morning on the ice, Judy coming out of Ark's tent. He could hear a horn blaring out his ear drum—all this time he'd willingly blocked that out. Still, there wasn't anything he could do, it was her choice, she was a female and she could do whatever she pleased. But he knew how jealous he felt that day with the bear. K scoffed. Sometimes he couldn't understand himself. If partners were allowed to have pleasure with anyone, maybe he was over reacting? Since many of their ideals were cultured from animals, animals pleasured and did so fun and for procreation.
It was the same for humans, wasn't it?
But K knew some animals he'd witnessed stayed loyal to one partner all their lives until death. That to him seemed so loving, to have one person that was yours and for them to have you, for always. It was what he thought he had with Judy, but maybe he'd been wrong… He followed the brunette even though he harboured these thoughts, he wanted Hiro's affection—K felt like a hypocrite. Again, it made him wonder about his loyalty to Judy, it made him wonder about his god too. But he knew he wasn't going to indulge out of revenge or to even any scores. He wanted Hiro because somewhere deep in his heart he knew it was meant to be.
The man in his dreams…
He needed him.
Over the swelling desire he had right now, he wondered in the recess of his mind if this was what Aurora intended for him. Maybe he was expected to find Hiro, to find himself astray in the world, alone…that this was Her grand scheme. But in actuality, he wasn't alone he realized for the first time…he had Hiro. K squeezed Hiro's hand warmly and felt his chest tighten.
Upon reaching the camp fire they noticed that Yuki and Shuichi were no where to be seen. This made K grin; he had an idea about what they were doing, although he didn't understand why they hid it. Was there shame in joining bodies for pleasure? The other two were there, but that was ok.
Suguru and Sakano were there, seated on their bottoms, drying off from their swim. They gawked in surprise as Hiro and K lay down on their fur together, barely acknowledging them, bringing their mouths together in a kiss. The blonde was on top of the brunette, their hands on each other's faces. They murmured sweet things to each other, it made no sense.
"Hiro…" Sakano started but was punched in the shoulder by Suguru, who put his finger to his lips and told him to be quiet. Then he nudged Sakano to ignore Hiro and K and motioned for them to lie down to sleep.
Sighing, Sakano looked back over at the brunette and the blonde foreigner. They were unabashedly removing their wet leather, completely oblivious to anything around them. As he ignored the men in heat he questioned in a whisper at Suguru's ear, "Why is Hiro consummating with that, that stranger? And why are you telling me to be quiet?" he asked Suguru indignantly.
"Why are you such a numbskull?" Suguru questioned back, "It is Hiro's right—K is just a man you know. So what? Leave them alone. If you haven't noticed Hiro's cot is not often empty."
Sakano clucked his tongue, "Yeah I know, but—"
"—do you want him too?" Suguru asked quietly. "I'm sure all you have to do is ask."
Sakano's cheeks burned hot, "N-no, that's not what I'm talking about. I just think Hikaru would be disappointed. That stranger hasn't even taken Gaia's oath, his spirit hasn't been tested." Sakano sighed, "Forget it…never mind."
Suguru did shut up this time. Sakano was right about that, he looked up at the stars and listened to an exalted sighs and moans coming from the other side of the fire. He swallowed hard. Not knowing all the circumstances he wasn't sure if he could conclude that K was or wasn't tested by Gaia. Considering the man had almost died, Suguru couldn't imagine a more trivial test.
The heat from the blonde's body was definitely rivalling the warmth that comforted them from the fire nearby. Hiro felt as if his whole body would suddenly combust and he'd burn from this bliss. Tipping his head back, he let K feather his lips over his throat; he writhed, revelling in the feel of this bigger man on him. He moaned out clinging onto K, his arms wrapped around him. Hiro had willingly taken the submissive role, opening his soul to K, eager to find out how high he would take him.
"Mmm, I love how exotic you look," Hiro murmured into K's ear, fingers exploring over ridges of skin softened by the salt water. "Gaia has blessed me passionately…"
Such a beautiful voice, it was like music to K. He dipped to taste the skin under the brunette's chin, grinding his hardened flesh against Hiro's. It felt so natural to please Hiro this way, feeling as if he'd known the man eternally. Right now he felt like he could lose himself in Hiro forever, never to return to the living and right now, that'd be alright. He moaned softly as Hiro reached up to capture his mouth again, kissing him wetly. K tasted his tongue between his lips first before letting his own dance in the depths of Hiro's opened mouth.
Hiro was a great kisser.
But Hiro's hands roamed all over, eventually on K's backside in which he squeezed fervently. The motion caused their erections to press together harder, emitting a pent up sigh from both of them.
"Mmm…Hiro I have gone to heaven and you are Aurora's angel. You must have lied when you said you were not a god," K murmured over kisses.
There was something special about K's foreign speech, Hiro thought with a sigh. He let his hand snake between them and he filled his hand with K's sac massaging him—a single finger exploring K's entrance. Over lusty sighs Hiro whispered, "Oooh, keep talking to me wolf spirit…your voice, it's beautiful." He slipped his entire finger up K's ass, causing the blonde to gasp with delectation. Hiro heard his name escape past K's wet lips, he moaned the joyous sound. He fingered the man for a moment until he felt it was his turn and guided K's hand between his legs. "Touch me," he pleaded.
K was so used to being in charge that Hiro's direction was indeed surprising. He hadn't thought about roles yet, but now it came to mind as the man urged him to touch. It wasn't a bad thing, he enjoyed Hiro's straight up display with his wants and K wanted to make him want all right. His hand stroked Hiro's swollen penis—velvet skin against his roughened paw. But feeling it made him want to taste it, so he shuffled down, lying between Hiro's legs and wrapped his arms around his thighs. K washed his tongue along sweet flesh before swallowing it up.
Hiro cried out.
Oh Aurora!
Bucking up into the blonde's talented mouth, Hiro wore an almost painful face. This was as close to the gods he could imagine and he felt celestial. K managed to take his entire length into his mouth, his teeth scrapping along the base…he gripped into K's mane hard. His body shuddered with pleasure; he flexed his hips and stretched back his head in bliss. He wished this feeling would never stop, that they could make this last until he cracked. The tremors almost came when K slipped a finger into his entrance; Hiro was rapturous that the man sure wasn't foreign on how to please another man. "Fill me K…join me," he begged while panting. He bucked up harder, hoping K would get the message.
So much for being submissive.
The head of Hiro's penis jabbed the back of K's throat, causing him to gag and his eyes to tear. He pulled back and smirked devilishly at the brunette, laying there all reckless like. "What is it? You trying not to release yet or you just wild and want me to take you?" K asked, thinking that was the reason. Mmm, maybe Hiro wanted this to last a long time…K didn't mind if that's what it was. He liked it slow sometimes too.
But his thoughts were unveiled when Hiro turned over and propped himself on his fours. K watched him lay the top half of himself down on the fur as if his arms could no longer hold him up. K admired Hiro's rear that was thrust out, his entrance completely visible by firelight.
Ohh…so that's what he wanted.
K smirked.
So much for taking it slow, K thought and chuckled keenly. Forgetting about everything, he nestled behind Hiro, sweeping his palms over that propped ass. Hiro was gorgeous, so tempting, displaying himself this way. K wouldn't mind sitting here for the rest of the night just to watch him in this position, tease Hiro mercilessly but not entering him. K chuckled again.
Hiro panted as he laid there waiting, a heated smile on his face. He was watching K watching him. "You like?" he taunted in question.
K understood that and leaned in to kiss the derrière in front of him. "Me likes…you are beautiful, man with a mammoth spirit…so beautiful." He heard shuffling and looked over to see Sakano and Suguru who appeared to be asleep, finally registering their presence. He wondered if their organs ached with desire too. He was just curious, because if he were listening to such pleasure he wouldn't have been able to stop from touching himself. Still no Yuki or Shuichi returned and that thought made K come back to his delicious task.
On his knees, K spread Hiro's rear and laved a tongue up the middle. He washed him generously, probing with his tongue as well. He moved down and nuzzled his nose into the hanging mass of Hiro's intimate flesh, lips tasting skin his teeth nibbling on whatever he could get. Moments later, K spit into his hand, moistening his length and place the tip to the entrance of the brunette. Slowly he dipped himself inside, Hiro let out a heady sigh. Holding it there for a moment he groaned at the heat deep inside Hiro, it was mind numbingly delicious. But K needed a better position, he needed to get his knees off the hard ground, so he got on his feet and squatted over him. From this stance K wrapped his arms around Hiro's midsection and began to rock his hips.
Enraptured sounds of pleasure came from both men.
Hiro grit his teeth and squeezed his eyes shut in ecstasy, his body rocking with every thrust. "Ahhh…yes," he hissed, tears of pleasure building at the corner of his eyes. So perfect, blinding…he saw swirls of colour behind his eyes lids…he hurt so good. Every stroke brought him closer and closer to building that energy, he mewled and urged it on. "Oh Gaia! Ooooo don't let it stop…don't stop," he begged. He sighed as one of K's hands slid down his back and into his hair, and the other under him to take hold of his cock. A ton of sensations flowed through him. But Hiro bucked back when K began to stroke him, "Unnn K!"
In that moment he came, his hot seed pumping out of his body and into the caressing hand that belonged to K. Hiro panted, his body going limp, his mouth agape as mewls of euphoria sang from his throat.
Listening to Hiro and feeling the wetness on his hand made K lose his mind! His body lurched; spilling his own essence deep inside the sweetest body he ever had the pleasure of pleasuring. He gripped onto Hiro like a saviour; his voice caught in his throat is if he were falling from the sky. K didn't pull out until every last spasm shook his body, but when it was over he lay down next to Hiro and tasted his fingers.
Hiro dropped back down to a normal position and watched the blonde, his head cradled on his arms as the man tasted his life spirit. He had a content smile on his face, but behind the smile his brain began to work. Even after the sex, he thought that this magnetism would weaken just a little—only it felt stronger now than it did before. There was something more than just pleasure tonight, he felt something that he never felt for anyone else. This feeling was tons stronger than anything! It wasn't the same as what he felt for his parents or his brother, it was different. It made him feel scared suddenly and excited all at once. Scared, because he felt anxious that K would leave him now, scared of the repercussions he might unleash upon himself—he thought of his father.
Feeling so tired now K smiled lazily at Hiro who was smiling at him. He pulled the fur blanket over them so they could cuddle and sleep. Hiro clung to him, and he pet over his hair and kissed softly over his face. "What is it about you Hiroshi? You invade my mind, you invade my soul and now I feel my heart aching. What have you done to me?" K asked quietly in his language, sighing contently.
"I wish I knew what you said," Hiro murmured, closing his eyes as K pet his hair, "I bet they are words I would like to hear. I will imagine you're telling me that you'll never leave me…"
Much to Sakano's dismay they managed to waste a week hanging around the ocean water. It was obvious that Hiro and possibly Yuki—Sakano was guessing—were avoiding Naniwa.
What ever for!? Did they understand what could happen to them if they did?!
Selfish young men Sakano concluded, what did they know about responsibility? When would they be willing to learn that following orders was the way of their clans!? Hikaru and Papa Uesugi were going to be so angry, because even if they left for Naniwa today…they'd probably be late. And being late meant that the full moon for the ritual ceremony would pass.
That meant no ceremony until the following year!
Oh, no. No, no! This would not do.
In a fit of irritability he hollered for everyone to wake up. His eyes were bulging and tears of frustration ran down his face. "Wake up! Enough of this, we must go to Naniwa, even if we have to walk all day and night! We could get lucky and get there on time!"
All eyes bugged open and gaped at him.
For good measure Sakano slapped a large pine bough into the fire, sending a spray of hot ash out like angry fireflies. Everyone dove from their spot and covered their faces.
"Hey! What's the big deal?" Yuki barked.
"My hair!" Shuichi screeched but came back with, "Yeah guys, why aren't we going to Naniwa? Why do I get the feeling you both aren't telling me something?" He looked from Yuki to Hiro.
"Yeah…" Suguru agreed with Shuichi.
Suguru and Shuichi side-glanced each other.
It was as if everyone suddenly ganged up on them.
Hiro sighed, "Shu's right I shouldn't avoid Naniwa. I'm sorry Sakano…when you are ready to go, so am I." He lied through his teeth. Even though seven sun cycles ago he told K he didn't want to go there, he'd decided he would go if K would come along with him. And since K couldn't locate his family he would have to come with him. Maybe his father would let K take Gaia's oath and he could become part of his clan? Hope swelled in his chest…he'd unite with Ayaka but he'd always have his wolf spirit close by.
That wasn't wrong, was it?
Sakano was still hitting the fire as Hiro so willingly agreed; slowly he registered what the man said. "Oh?" he halted his next swat, "Let's get going then! Right now!"
So that was it, they headed southwest under some brilliant sunshine, all with much more energy and gusto. They'd happily filled up on sea creatures and the multitude of growing plants in the area. Hiro stocked up on some medicinal items, more wakame, yakumosou (still not in bloom but the leaves were useful) it was a plant that was used for females in his clan. It would aid in childbirth and helped to clot blood and also worked as a sedative. It could also be used on males, but it was much too valuable to waste. He also found some datura seeds, a deadly poisonous plant if one were to simply eat it; it would cause the heart to simply stop. But if smoked in small quantities it was hallucinogenic and worked wonderfully for anesthesia—especially if someone needed a tooth pulled out. He busied himself with this collective task to avoid thinking about his father's angry voice.
He knew he was going to be in big trouble, no matter what. But if he got there in time there shouldn't be that much trouble. Hiro glanced over at Yuki, who looked kinda sick. His face was pale his shoulders seemed slumped. Was it the ceremony? He wondered what Yuki's fear was. His eyes shifted over to Shuichi who had picked a spring lily and held it near Yuki's nose to sniff. Yuki smiled ever so quickly before it faded away and he smelled the flower. Hiro couldn't believe he never noticed this before, being preoccupied by his own stupid problems. Yuki didn't loath Shuichi as much as he pretended to. Thunder struck Hiro! What if Yuki really cared for Shuichi and that's why he didn't want to go to Naniwa and mate with Sakura!?
Ohh…my…
"What is your matter?" K asked Hiro in bad sentence structure. He touched his shoulder when Hiro had stopped walking and simply stood there, distant.
Hiro blinked and smiled at his new companion, "Nothing blue-eyes. I just thought of something interesting."
"Interesting," K pronounced clearly.
Grinning, Hiro nodded at K. "You're catching on so quickly…I have to admit I'm not as fast as you are. You're language still eludes me." He laughed and showed K a young curled fern frond. "Pretty hmm? Here, they are edible," he told his friend and offered it to him. Hiro made a motion to eat it.
Biting into the chewy plant, K ate it. It was sweet and robust and it cleansed his mouth. "Thank you mammoth spirit," K expressed and watched Hiro collect more.
Looking over at K, Hiro smiled, "I like how you call me that." He added more fronds to his pouch.
K helped collect some as well and felt Hiro's eyes on him, he felt a bit hot in the face all the sudden. "What is it?" he asked.
Hiro stood up and spoke, "Nothing really, I just noticed you've gained some weight and you look…healthy. Those wounds are healing well."
The blonde got the jist of it "Yes," he pointed to his leg. "Better. Soon hunt."
Nodding, Hiro agreed with that. But they couldn't do any hunting until they got to Naniwa. There was no time for that. He sighed heavily then, he just had a bad feeling and K caught him right away. "Please don't worry K," he told him, "I'm just scared that's all…I have to stop being such a wimp and do what is intended of me. Have you ever felt that way?" Hiro sighed again, "I know you don't understand all of this, but maybe if you were a chief you'd understand."
"If you…chief?" K asked in Hiro's language, wondering with astonishment. "I am chief!" he declared, thrusting a thumb into his chest. "I was…" he whispered in his own tongue.
Hiro's face went slack…K was not serious. "Wait, are you saying what I think you're saying?" No way. "You're a chief? Chief of…what title?" he wondered. K understood, "Me chief of title, Winchester clan. Mother and father up there." He pointed to the sky, and then looked back down at Hiro. "Father leave me clan," he said. The brunette didn't understand all of that, but he heard 'Winchester clan'. So that was the name of K's family…and he was their chief! Hiro blinked, his mind going back to the moment in the ocean. No wonder K was so upset at the time. "I'm sorry I didn't know until now."
