Okay so this chapter ended up being 7,848 words instead of about 5,000 like it had been before corrections which surprised me! This chapter was hard for me to write for some reason. I guess maybe because them getting way could and still can go so many different ways. I have no idea what I want to do still. It is driving me crazy!
Start Chapter 13
Kurama was sure that the concoction that he had created would work. He smiled, stuffing teabags full of the fragrant tea mixture and the thinly sliced and dried roots of his potent poison, thinking about how well his test batch had worked on his previous victims. He hadn't wasted any time after coming up with the plan. Growing those particular plants had taken a couple of hours and had been tedious but it was well worth it in the end.
He had selected several different species of demon, two had been Mazoku though not higherbred, they were far harder to find and much rarer. He hoped that didn't make much of a difference. All but one had been strongly influenced by his tea. A Raccoon dog was the only one not to be properly effected. Though after a couple of hours he had suddenly fell to the floor and began to seize, throthing at the mouth so he would count that successful though not in the way he had wanted.
The toxin was meant to force people to do whatever he suggested without realizing that they were following what he had told them to do. If you knew and somehow managed to resist it would cause horrific pain and eventually eat away at a person's insides. The Raccoon dog seemed to have somehow realized what was going on… And now had a rather large hole eating its way through his twitching, almost corpse.
Kurama began to stitch up the tops of the bags.
He was sure that everything would go the way he wanted it to once the Monk's drank his tea. He was already planning on inviting them back to his greenhouse during the afternoon, for tea and a light meal of course, a 'peace' offering. Once all of that foul business was taken care of Harry would be his and they could finally begin to be happy together like they had been meant to be from the start. Before he had been foolish and had pushed the other away. Never again would he do that.
Kurama finished the delicate last stitch, smirking as he held up four average looking teabags. Laughing in a rather dark and cruel fashion. He tied black tags on each to make sure he knew what ones were which without having to pay much attention, sitting them in a lovely carved box alongside two red tagged teabags. He closed it reverently, taking a small key out from a hidden pocket in his sleeve, he locked it.
Kurama yawned deciding to get a few hours of sleep in before enacting his plan. Hardly getting any sleep in the last few weeks was beginning to take quite the toll on him.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Harry was happily snuggled up, sleeping better than he had in days, even with the horrible pain in his side. Harry didn't even mind the pillows that Touou and Hokushin had taken from his nest being stuffed around him like bumper pillows used for a baby so they didn't roll off of the bed. They had both insisted that it was needed to make sure that he didn't move too much in his sleep with the rib unattached. Harry couldn't care less though as all it did was make him feel more secure. Harry had stuffed Paddy against his nose, sniffing happily before going to sleep. The weak lingering scent of his parents comforting him.
Touou was on watch. He and Hokushin had decided to take turns one would sleep while the other kept awake and alert. Hokushin had already taken his turn on watch. Now securely sleeping next to their beloved charge.
Hokushin was curled protectively around Harry, a leg curled over Harry's and an arm draped over the Bearer's collarbone, near his neck to ensure he didn't move. Both had managed to resist the urge to groom him as they were sure that Raizen would be even more upset if their scents were on Harry in such an intimate way, even if they had no interest in breeding with the bearer.
Touou and Hokushin had both agreed to leave around 5 am while in the hotel out loud but both still felt a niggling suspicion that they were being listened to. An odd feeling that made the hairs on the back of their necks stand on end anytime that they spoke to one another. Touou had changed their plans, he had decided they would be leaving at 3. There was no way that he would give anyone time to catch them and he was certain that if they stayed something would happen.
Yomi would not just let them leave with the only known living Higherbred Mazoku bearer. Let alone one that was only months, a year tops, from going through their first heat and becoming sexually mature. He was sure that the demon King had at least heard rumors about the bearer and was sure there was no way that the sly demon would pass up such an opportunity.
Touou was certain, that if Yomi were to smell Harrison, that with his superb nose, the scent would stick out like a brightly lit beacon. Even though Harrison's faint scent of looming maturity was almost undetectable to Touou. He was sure that it already was a potent scent to his king as it was one of the things that he had ranted about once he realized that Harrison had left with his moronic heir…. Touou leaned back in the chair he was sitting in, crossing his arms. A firm frown on his stern face.
Yomi would surely only see Harrison as a prize he could use to manipulate others with and to be forced to produce heirs with unlike his King. It wouldn't surprise Touou if Raizen and Harrison were to get together and thought they were a very good match. The difference between Yomi and Raizen was that he didn't want to use him, no one from their tribe did either, everyone adored Harrison especially his king.
Touou was positive that Raizen genuinely cared for Harry and wanted him to be nothing but safe and happy. He would even venture to say that the other demon was deeply in love with the bearer. He was sure that they would produce far more respectable kits than Raizen's other try if they were to mate….
With Harrison's superb personality, relatively mild temper, and stunning looks though their king wasn't a slouch on looks. He was considered, when healthy to be an extremely handsome demon, especially handsome among the Thunder God Demons. Yes their offspring would be amazing. Raizen's unmatched power, tactician mind, and honorable morals, and both parents quick wit would make a fine kit indeed. The pair, if bred together, would have superb kits, possibly more beautiful and talented than any to be birthed in eons if not ever! And Harrison would be such a sweet, gentle, and attentive mother. Touou had decided.
Touou had heard some of the others back home making bets that their king would announce that he had mated with Harrison soon, most likely once the younger demon had gone through his first heat. Touou knew until that time that they would need to keep the other demons interested in Harrison away as he was sure they would mount him the moment they had even the slightest opening. A dominant Mazoku did not share their mate like some species after all. If someone tried to mount a bearer bred to a Mazoku already, they were likely to get their dick stuffed down their throat and their head lopped off on the spot.
Once Harrison was mated to Raizen the other's would likely lose interest as Higherbred Mazoku also produced a special hormonal cocktail that made it so their chosen bearer mate's body was completely infertile to anyone else's attempts at impregnating them but that dominant mate. They could not accept a secondary mate. Bearer's were absolutely devoted to their chosen mate like their dominant male counter parts unlike most Mazoku females. They had no interest in being mounted by anyone but their mate, ever, though on rare occasions they were wooed by two dominants at the same time and fell for both. Being mated to two only worked if they weren't Mazoku though. Submissives could only ever have babies with their chosen alpha or alphas. A submissive had a hormone secreting sack in both shoulders that once the submissive was mounted to completion and the sack bitten, being infected with the alphas hormones and saliva it would create an unbreakable bond along with preventing any none mates to impregnate them. A Mazoku could completely shut off the ability to lay with anyone but themselves though, ever even if the dominant were to die the bearer would still be unable to be mated to anyone else along with being able to have a baby with another.
Touou ran his hand over his face at the thoughts running through his head. He really wasn't wanting to think of such things at all. He really didn't enjoy the added stress. Harrison was already in rather terrible condition. Of course not nearly as bad as when they first found him near death but still not good. Touou completely blamed Raizen's useless idiot heir for that. He was nearly healed, finally after months of obsessive around the clock care, before the foolish boy somehow convinced his beloved Lady Harrison to run off to do who knows what in this gaudy monstrosity of a city!
The new revelation with the meat pies also made sense. Along with Harrison's rather frail body. If he didn't have them often, like he had said, than it would make sense that Harrison's bones were somewhat brittle. Probably not nearly as much as a human but still plenty to make it easy to injure him and make it difficult to heal. Once an offspring began to eat only completely solid food than they needed to be fed the flesh of humans extremely often to stay healthy. The despicable creatures, Harrison still insisted were his family, most likely only fed him enough to stay alive. The idea turned Touou's stomach. The kit was far too naive and sweet for his own good. Anxiety twisted Touou's guts. Being in such a forbidding place was making him unable to stop thinking about everything that he had been avoiding it seemed. Touou let out a deep breath, glancing at the clock on the wall. 2am. He had been deep in thought much longer than he had originally believed. It was close enough, being productive would distract him from his rapid fire thoughts.
Touou headed to the suite bathroom he had been sitting next to, tossing on his outer tunic. He grimaced at the fruity smelling soups he had to choose from. Didn't they have something more natural smelling at the place, wasn't it some ultra-exclusive hotel?
Shouldn't they have more tasteful, natural scents? Like his king's favored subtle sandalwood and musk scented oils, lotions, and grit scrubs? Not something that smelled like a jar of fruit syrup like the five pairs of different scented hair care products sitting in a basket near the sink. 'Strawberry Mirage', 'Pineapple Sunshine', Orange Smellsation', 'Bleakened Cave Melon Splash', and 'Sinfruit Dream'. Touou wrinkled his nose at the ridiculous names of the products. If the smell of them hadn't put him off the names definitely did. He absolutely could not understand the appeal.
Touou huffed in disgust and sat on the edge of the bathtub, filling it while carefully testing the water with by dipping his wrist under it. Looking at the edge near the wall he was surprised to find a few more bottles sitting on the other side of it and was marginally happier with them.
He doubted that his king would like Harrison smelling so intensely of something that smelled so strong and unnatural, especially as it smelled nothing of himself, but it would have to do. Touou grabbed the bottles sitting on the edge of the tub. They looked like they had already been used. Either his lady would smell like an artificial sugary fruit drink or he would smell of 'Vanilla Sugar Cookie?' which Touou thought smelled pretty disgustingly of bitter chemicals or 'Cherry Blossom Wind' which that one actually didn't smell that bad.. It smelled rather nice actually though it was strong. Maybe he should use that for Harrison's pelt instead? He wasn't sure if any of them could be that good for it though. As these looked nothing like the fine specialty crafted hair oils, scrubs, or creams that their king was once again using for his magnificent mane. Well he was sure that Harrison had used some of the cookie one on his hair by the smell of it and it seemed alright. He was sure that his King would correct such things once he was back where he belonged anyway.
Touou added some of the scented soap to the water then turned off the water and dried his arms with a towel, standing. It was time to get Hokushin up so he could go and warm up some of the left overs. He would then wake Harrison for his bathe in which he assisted in bathing.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Touou, sitting on the edge of the bed, was enough to wake his friend up.
Hokushin kept his eyes closed for only a moment. The scent and aura of his friend were both easy to sense for Hokushin, after spending so many years near one another. Touou's breathing and the way something squeaked when he sat down was even engraved into Hokushin's mind after such a long time. The person that had sat down was most definitely not an intruder. Hokushin's tension instantly melted away at the realization. Even being as tired as he was after having little sleep for over a week he was still alert and ready to fight at a moments notice.
Hokushin slowly removed himself from Harry's snuggling embrace both because he was enjoying the warm and comfort of the clinging Bearer and as not to disturb the bearer's injuries.
Hokushin sighed contently, enjoying the last few moments of having such a fine nest supporting his back. It was better than anything he had slept in probably ever. It was obvious that Harrison had spent the months in King Raizen's tower getting acquainted with some more bearer oriented pastimes, like their love for nesting. Harrison had either perfected years' worth of nesting skills or he was learning and learning well. Either way, had a fine talent in building them as the one he had built with the extra blankets and… shredded pillow fluff was superb. It nearly sucked him in for a few more minutes of sleep with its delightful comfort.
Hokushin grunted as Touou shifted impatiently. Hokushin decided that it would be best to forcing himself off of the bed before his friend became too irritable though he wouldn't blame him as they could not afford to waste a moment. If Yomi found out what they were playing at he was sure that they would be caught immediately and most likely tortured then killed, leaving their Lady to their greatest enemy. Still, he did not look forward to having to flee the city at such an early hour.
Hokushin practically shuffled from the room after watching Touou gently pat Harrison's face. Trying to quietly wake the tired Bearer up. He made sure that Yusuke's door was still shut and was relieved to hear nothing but his snoring through the door. Hokushin was sure that as loud as the teenager was that he would likely alert everyone in a ten block radius of their attempt at a sneaky getaway. He knew that he wouldn't do it on purpose but Hokushin felt it was safest to leave him sleeping as he was probably the loudest person that he had ever met.
Seeing the city so dark and the streets so barren, Hokushin was sure it was most definitely not 5 like he and Touou had agreed upon. His internal clock also was an indicator that it wasn't as it woke him promptly at 4 am on the dot every morning. He glanced at the blinking digital clock on one of the appliances, he believed it was a micro-something. Microwhale? No that didn't sound right, Microwolf, no Microwaze, that didn't sound right either. He couldn't remember.
Hokushin was most definitely still a bit out of it. He almost wished he hadn't slept as he felt more tired than when he had gone to sleep. Ugh, no wonder, it was 2:10 am! The normal time for the monks to wake up at was around 4 am and that was with them sleeping almost nightly. Five was considered reasonable on the weekends if nothing important, other than their constant training, was going on.
If he slept on a day, Hokushin normally went to sleep at 14pm. Like most of the other monks and always woke at exactly 4am, giving him a perfect 5 hours to sleep.
Demon world's days where measured at a perfect 30 hours. 15 for PM and 15 for AM like our 12 hours for each PM and AM.
Hokushin yawned, turning on the stove to reheat some of the extra food. He wanted his lady nice and fed before they left. He was hoping that it would help with blood production. From what he had been told by Lin, Harrison had been very anemic and mineral deficient. Even after being mostly recovered from his injuries. He was sure that it was most likely from terrible nutrition. Hokushin was positive that Harrison would recover much faster and better if he began to properly feed and not every half a year or so like he had been but at least one good human flesh themed meal every day or so. At least until he was in good condition.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Touou was confused and frustrated by his Lady's behavior. He was sure that Yusuke was rubbing of on him in the worst of ways. All he was trying to do is help the delicate Bearer and he completely flipped out, reacting in a completely unbearer way to his attempts to sooth and take care of him! He couldn't understand. It wasn't like he was attempting to look at his marking or anything nor like he was interested in breeding with him and he was sure the bearer knew it. It just made Touou want to strangle his friend's boy even more!
Harry didn't think he was over reacting at all. he was having none of it. Touou had insisted that he was going to bath him, no way! It was bad enough when Raizen had insisted on the very least sponge bathing him before he was steady enough to get on his feet and Raizen wasn't even allowed to look at any of his… parts! Though he had a feeling the other demon wouldn't have minded at all the way Harry had begun catching his eyes roving him. Seeming to become a little too interested in seeing his markings. Harry couldn't help but to blush a bit at that thought.
But no, no way was Touou going to be allowed to bath him like some small child! The stubborn, almost confused acting monk insisted on it. Demanding that he would help Harry so he didn't accidently injure himself by moving too much with the dangerous broken piece of rib displaced inside of him. He wasn't some maiden in need of a hand servant to fulfill his every whim. Heck, growing up he had to do most things himself. Unlike all of his relatives and friends, excluding Hermione, his household never had any house elves and Sirius wasn't much of a substitute for one either. The place would have been a pigsty if Harry and his father hadn't taken care of everything excluding maybe putting the laundry away and Sirius wasn't exactly the best laundry folder in the world either. Normally it was a wadded up mess so he also had to refold that as well. He was pretty sure he could handle sitting in a bathtub for a quick rinse down.
Harry realized how loud the two must be getting… In a hotel full of demons with hearing that had to exceed any humans at the very least. He was afraid that Yomi would find out what was going on if their arguing escalated or got any louder and very reluctantly gave in.
Harry had really really wanted to see the tournament but he didn't exactly like the idea of being forced to stay somewhere either, possibly being used for political gain nor his packmates potentially harmed because of such a decision. Yomi made Harry very uneasy. He seemed far too calculating for comfort. Everything he did was too… precise. The demon may have thought that he exuded a comforting aura or something but that was far from the truth. Harry had been around planning calculating Slytherin's all of his life and all he got off of the demon was that same vibe, but towards him and not others like it had often been with his own family. He didn't like it.
"At-at least turn around until I get in the water!" Harry insisted in an embarrassed whisper. Blushing bright red.
"Are you sure, I am happy to help you?" Touou quietly said back, giving the demoness a reluctant brow furl. He swallowed at the dark wordless death glare he got from Harry, nodding. "As you wish." Touou said, turning his back to his Lady, though reluctantly. Still startled at how oddly intimidating the look was. Maybe it was because Harrison had given Raizen a similar one right before Touou had left the tower and was called back only minutes later. Somehow in that short time all of the furniture was turned to literal dust and his king was literally simpering to Harrison, trying to get him to calm down, his fireproof eyebrows somehow burned off.
Harry hissed in pain as he slowly, carefully eased his night robes from his shoulders, to the floor. He would normally pick them up and fold them but he had a feeling that it wasn't the best idea at the moment with the free floating piece of rib, who knew where, inside of him. Instead Harry stepped out from the middle of them, giving Touou's back a nervous glance. Then hastily made his way to the side of the tub. The entire time he tried not to eye the horrific lump and textbook sized bruise that was beginning to form on and spread across his side. He was grateful once again for whatever it was that Touou had injected him with as he still didn't feel nearly as much of the pain as he had been before the injection. Harry grimaced, slide himself into the bathtub. He held the rim for balance as he attempted to sit down in the water as slowly and smoothly as possible. Harry couldn't help but tremble a little as the thought that he could drowned began to bombard him, filling him with anxiety. He never took baths because of such thoughts always tormenting him when he did so.
"You c-can come over now." Harry said, his tone meek and his face flushed a bright red. Harry tried to think of the more positive, like how Touou added plenty of bubbles to hide his markings. He was happy about that. Something about his markings were just far too private… maybe sexual for him to feel comfortable with others seeing them? He wasn't sure but his instincts insisted that he wasn't to allow anyone but his desired mate see them Touou was definitely not that. More of a care taker and friend and friends didn't show each other the equivalent of their dicks. Harry had seen Raizen's but that was different dominant's body markings, to a point, were meant to be shown off. At least that was what his brain and instincts said. They were meant to be a warning to other dominants while were meant to be a showcase to submissives.
Harry tried not to let his brain switch to how Raizen had seen his markings a couple of times. Harry had been completely embarrassed but he no longer felt a strong desire to not allow him to see them like he did with Touou. On the contrary, Harry didn't mind much at all and almost felt flattered when the other male would try to hold back his blush or try to give them discreet appreciative looks. He just didn't want to be naked in front of someone especially on accident, especially in front of the guy that was taking care of him. Harry wished that someone would just explain everything to him it would make everything so much simpler if they did. That or his instincts would become fully active and come with some sort of user manual!
Touou removed his outer tunic, folding it and sitting it near the sink. He pulled up his sleeves after grabbing a rag from the towel holder hanging over the spot where the basket of soaps was sitting. He wasn't sure how they expected anyone that was of Yusuke's, let alone Harrison's height to reach anything it was so high on the wall that he had to reach above his head to grab anything. Touou then grabbed a stool that sat in front of the vanity and sat it at near the end of the bathtub. He then sat the Cherry Blossom scented Shampoo and Conditioner near his feet. Touou desperately hoped that giving Harrison a bath right before leaving would make it easier not to be questioned. Touou wished that a clock was in the room so he could make sure he kept to schedule as well. They had to get out of there at least an hour before they said they would. He was sure that someone would be kicking down the door any minute.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Harry really did not enjoy being wet, escaping wet was far worse. He was cold, a bit grouchy to. He was getting little shocks of pain in his side that was supposed to be numb and his hair was getting a bit wild for his taste. The small bit of food he managed to eat had been alright though. He felt pretty good after eating it actually, like he had some energy for once.
Because Harry was so sensitive to the cold Touou had insisted on him wearing his outer tunic. It not only would keep him warm but it would also keep his face covered from the cameras as it was so large it was more like an oversized blanket with sleeves on Harrison.
Harry felt nothing but anxiety as they stealthily made their way through the city, ducking into alleys, and against buildings as they went. Harry found it to be a bit ridiculous, goofy even, as there was literally no one out.
If there had been and they had seen what Touou was carrying they would have been convinced he was trying to smuggle out some sort of green eyed clothing monster as every bit of Harry was cocooned in the cloth. He was wrapped cozy, head to toe in it and the only thing visible was his eyes peeking out from a less tightly wound spot around his head and neck.
It may have been a bit light out still as it always was at least a bit because of the nearly constant red lightning in the sky but it was somehow far cooler out than what Harry remembered it being and less muggy. Harry didn't like how cool it was, though the lack of humidity made it easier to breath, he had decided.
Eventually they made it to the edge of the city, past the dimly light custom's building specifically for Raizen's territory.
They were all nervous that everything was just going too well. Feeling like something was crawling up their necks as they tried to draw as little attention as they could. It was all sticking too close to the best case scenario but it seemed to be that no one was out other than a couple of demons that had been kicked out of the bars and were too drunk to do anything but stumble around on the streets.
Their inebriated behaviors were rather disgusting to the Monks that felt that one should always hold themselves to a higher standard but the demons weren't actually causing any trouble for them. Other than the two demons not wanting such foul behavior to be displayed in front of their charge. Both were tense as they came closer and closer to a safe escape, not wanting to chance anything.
Both monks forced themselves to walk down the street as casually as they possibly could. Unconsiously speeding up as they got closer and closer to the city's edge. Hokushin tensed when a tall demon smelling strongly of booze with an electric blue Mohawk and two throngs full of long hair hanging from the back of it, came stumbling up, giving off dangerous vibes.
Touou wrinkled his nose at the foul stench that came off of the male.
"Hey, how youse doin'? Why are a couple o' gents' like tha' two of ya' leavin' at such a' early time eh' I mean it's almost time for tha' tournamen' yeah?" The man said in a friendly tone, laughing and grinning drunkenly.
Harry paled, in his little cocoon held snuggly against Touou, Chu, that wasn't good! He knew that the demon was a good friend of Yusuke's and seemed like a nice guy but he also worked for Yomi and it couldn't be a coincidence that he was out so late and so far away from home.
A sudden serious expression crossed the normally friendly, Mad Max character, looking demon's face. His tone though, still not completely sober sounding, became much easier to understand and quieter as he glanced around. "Ya' know if Yomi catches ya' he ain' ganna let tha two of youse bloke's get away withou' somethin's missin', right?" He said in a dead serious tone of voice to both monk looking demons. Chu's eyes immediately darted to the bundle of nested bearer with concern. "You doin' alright love? These guys hurtin' ya' or messin' with ya' or any of tha' nasty nonsense?" Chu asked, his expression becoming more of a concerned narrow eyed look.
All three demons were startled by the question. After a few seconds Harry spoke. "Yeah, they are part of my pack. I trust them with my life." He whispered, nervously darting his eyes around while trying not to more around too much. "How, how did you know?"
"Wha' tha' ya' were in tha' ball o' cloth? Simple, I got tha nose of a bloody hound. Tha' and I saw ya' when tha gust o' wind came through…. You blokes were so worried about soldiers and such tha' ya' didn' even seem ta notice me followin' ya. I saw 'em with ya' earlier when I was ganna come visitin' even though we were goin' ta see ya' tomorrow. We were told ta be on standby ta retrieve an importan' figure from Mr. Thunder's place. They said eh' was short with long black hair, green eyes, an' tha' 'eh was a Mazokie tha' didn' really have any noticeable marken's on 'em. Only person I know tha' fits tha' description is me just acquain'ed, new favorite Sheila. Tha place 'eh was supposed ta be picked up at was tha hotel ya' were stayin' at in tha very same room at 4:30 this mornin'. I may look an' sound like some pretty air head half o' tha time but I ain' tha' stupid! I decided ta go down ta tha bar down tha street ta wait, got out just in time ta see ya to! Followed ya here. Don' worry though I ain' wantin' ta catch ya or anything! I was worried somethin' like this would happen actually. You know how 'he' is afta' all." Chu said, a worried expression darkening his normally cheerful face.
"Anyway if this is wha' ya want ta do an' these blokes will take ya back ta ya tribe, I ain' ganna stop ya. Just keep 'im safe alright? I'm sure tha' my frien's would say tha same thing. Espec'lly, Jin, he would be totally heartbroken if anythin' happened ta 'im. I don' approve of anyone tryin' ta use another ta gain' power an' such especially sweet lil' beauts like Harr here and ya seem like ya' care abou' him…. At least enough ta get 'im out a here before tha shit hits tha fan." Chu said giving the two demons scrutinizing looks. "Sorry ya' got given such a shit hand by the way, yeah?" Chu said, giving what little of Harry's face he could see a tired smile. Ignoring the narrowed eyed looks of suspicion that he was getting from the pair of bald demons.
"Thank you, tell Jin and the others that I am sorry I couldn't see them tomorrow but I would be happy to see them again some time… Though you guys would have to visit… I'm pretty sure that Raizen isn't going to let me do anything else for a very, very long time…. Maybe… well hopefully I can convince Raizen to let you guys come around by the time my birthday comes? It's on the 31st of July." Harry murmured, trying to sit up a bit. He felt nothing but relief and gratitude towards the demon. He was so glad he was right about Chu, that he was a good guy.
"Yeah, tha' would be real nice! I always love an excuse ta' have a good time!" Chu said, smiling, not even addressing Harry's gratitude. He wasn't doing any of it because he wanted praise he was doing it because he thought it was the right thing to do. Opening his mouth to joke around he suddenly went stiff. Reaching up he pushed on a button connected to an ear set that the trio hadn't noticed. An unwelcome reminder of what he was really supposed to be doing.
Chu's face turned cold as he began to speak. "Yeah, yeah, I'll be right there…. No, I ain' seen any 'spicius activities. Only see one heat signature? Well that's a bit strange ain' it? I have no idea. I been watchin' the front from tha' new bar 'cross tha street…. Yeah, I been drinken' a bit, only a couple though... Maybe they did go through the back! No.. No! I'm headin' over. Was getting meself a cup o' coffee. Couldn't find a place close to there with a decen' one. Yeah, I should be back in a few. Bye." Chu said, a frustrated look on his face.
"So, apparently I've been holden' ya up way longer than I thought I was, talking like a Dill. Ya, need ta leave like yesta'day. Don' slow down an try an' get ta Mr. Thunder's territory as quick as ya can, K'? I'll talk ta tha guys about try ta keep one o' us with Yusuke at all times just in case. I'll be hold'n ya on tha' invitation by the way." Chu said, giving the three an uncomfortable smile before turning and running back in the direction of the hotel. He wasn't going to be giving anyone any reason to think of looking in that direction if he could help it. Chu really didn't want to think of what Yomi might do to the sweet little bearer if he got a hold of him let alone if he found out that he was attempting to escape.
Chu had no doubt that he would be in some hell for a bit over leaving to 'get a coffee' but he was sure that as long as he mentioned that it wasn't anywhere near the time they were supposed to be gone and fib, saying they must have realized what was going on, that he would be fine. The fact that his elite had been outfoxed and the fact that Yomi didn't want what Harry was to be getting around would keep him angry with Raizen for taking Harry. Chu just hoped that Harry's escorts were very fast as it wouldn't surprise him if Yomi ended up going after them himself once he found out what had happened. Damn he could really use a drink… or five.
"You know that the answer will be a no, right?" Hokushin asked his charge with an incredulous look. Their now fast walk quickly taking them to the edge of the city.
Harry glared at the monk.

Hokushin and Touou immediately began to run as fast as they possibly could once they were no longer in the thick of the city. Touou carefully holding Harry to himself, trying not to jostle him. Neither wanted to be anywhere near their once they realized what was going on. Chu could only hold them off for so long.
"I was rather surprised with what you said the date of your birthday was." Hokushin eventually said to Harry as they ran. "I believe July is summer in the human world, yes? A rather unusual time to be birthed especially for a Mazoku. I believe late fall to winter is the most usual months for many of the 'god breeds' to be birthed as 'prey' historically has tried to fatten up a bit for winter and they are more vulnerable…. Not many of the higherbred Mazokus know the exact dates of their births…. We have all been caught up in other things so much that I never even thought of asking you. They are considered extremely important mile stones for Bearers and young." Hokushin said, a thoughtful expression on his face. He went a little pale after a moment and a look of realization crossed his face. "Wait, I believe you have already had a birthday with us! It should be entering spring in a few months. You were found in what would have been around mid-late spring I believe. Our king will be very upset with this!" Hokushin said, sounding almost a bit heart broken.
"Really? I hadn't realized how long it had be-" Harry yelped mid-sentence. He flinched as a sudden unexpected pain lanced in his supposedly numb side. He gritted his teeth together and tensed until the wave was over.
"Are you alright my Lady?" Touou asked, alarmed immediately slowing down a bit. He hadn't meant to jostle the little demoness, if he hadn't hopped over the root like he had than he would have surly gone sprawling across the ground, crushing Harrison. His specialized musculature system made him nearly two times the weight of a human of the same height and build so it would ensure the demoness was truly flattened.
"Y-yeah, I don't think that stuff is working as well as before." Harry said, trying to even his breathing out again. Though he was still shaking from the pain.
Touou grimaced at that statement, Hokushin looked over, worried. Both were hoping that it stayed working for at least another day or two or they were sure that the demoness would be writhing in agony like he had begun to do the night before. It would be far more likely for the demoness to end up severely injuring himself if that happened, maybe even accidently kill himself by puncturing his lung, his liver, or tearing open a major artery. Both were sure that Raizen would be furious when he learned of the shape Harrision was once again in.
"Try to relax. I think it may be a good idea to stop speaking… All it seems to be doing is causing pain. I could see the discomfort on your face anytime you did so more than a few minutes back at the hotel… like before." Hokushin said, sounding distinctly uncomfortable.
"It will take us about two days to get to the border, maybe a day and a half if we do not stop. We cannot afford for Yomi to capture us so I think it would be best for us to keep running until we are back on our King's lands….. This will most likely be excruciating for you by the time we have gotten to our king. If it does not feel like proper pain though simply because of your injury, alert us immediately. If you can I would suggest trying to sleep for a while.
What we are doing is extremely dangerous for you and under normal circumstances we would have never even moved you and would have called a healer immediately. You are in very serious condition….. I do not wish for you to die because we were not taking proper precisions with you…" Hokushin said, he swallowed a bit hard, his mind flashing to the day they found Harrison. A bleeding, terrified mess. Looking moments from death when he put him on that bed. It was probably the most helpless he had ever felt. Hokushin didn't think that he could ever forgive himself if they had become the cause of something like that happening to the fragile gentle creature.
"K'." Was all Harry muttered before burrowing his head against Touou's chest, another flash of pain zapping through him. He felt completely drained and a little terrified to. He was sure that Raizen was going to be completely enraged when he saw him but something in him insisted that he would never hurt him. Harry ached for the warm heavy comfort of the other demon. Even with the impending screaming lecture he was most likely going to get for worrying the dominant so much.

"What, slow down! I just woke up." A highly irritated voice growled into a fleshy phone looking receiver in a brightly lit room.
Yomi was sprawled out over a massive bed, pillows scattered all over the place, including on the lavish rugs tossed haphazardly looking around his floor. The thick elegant comforter for the bed looked like it had been kicked off during the night and somehow was balled up on the end of the mattress.
"Wait, what? What do you mean they are gone! I told you to take him at 4:30! They planned to leave at 5. I listened in myself! So you did…. They weren't there then? So they left before 3:30? You are positive…?. Damn it! That bastard must have been planning this since he found out. That or the monks were on to us… I want him. I want Harrison and I want him now! Those fools will kill him in his condition! Raizen has no right to care for him. Yes, yes I am far better suited. I will see you in a few minutes, I should not have sent a guard to do a king's job. He will make a lovely queen, do you not agree?" Yomi said, gradually getting more calculating instead of angry, anger cause recklessness and recklessness caused mistakes. He wasn't going to have such things rule him, he was above that. "Yes, no, I will be there. Assemble my council." Yomi said, finally hanging up the grotesque pulsating machine.
Yomi pushed down his night pants and firmly grasped himself, easily recalling the image he had seen through the specialized electronic goggles that he wore to see screens. Harrison had been far more beautiful than he had expected. His look suited him. Those big soulful green eyes was what really had his attention. And his smell, oh it was divine, so close to maturity and his first heat. His body practically begged Yomi to shove his erect flesh into him, tearing open him nice and wide.
Yomi pulled at his heated flesh, playing with the slit, groaning. Focusing on imagining those pretty eyes looking up at him, pleading to be bounce on a big cock with a big round belly swollen with his perfect heir. Begging to be used and bred like a slut over and over again. Yomi's breathe quickened. He whimpered digging his heels into the mattress, running his hands aggressively across the cartilage of his ears sending sparks down his groin with his other hand he gave his sacks a brutal squeeze. Relief, sudden and so brutal Yomi grabbed a pillow with his teeth and clenched his jaw to prevent the startled wail of pleasure that tried to escape him. He shuddered in quick little pinprick twitches as he felt rapid spurts spill over his clenched lightly messaging hand. He smiled a little, swearing he heard Harrison's delighted little whimpers purring in his ears.
After several eternity feeling minutes Yomi managed to calm down enough to let go of the torn pillow, grinning in a way that he hadn't felt was possible anymore and feeling like a naughty adolescent buck again. He couldn't help but laugh at the strange fluttering sensation filling his belly.
Yomi couldn't remember the last time he had done something like that simply to get off let alone because he had an interest in another. In reality he couldn't ever remember being interested in anyone before. He had actually wondered if he was asexual as he had felt so little interest in sex and others over the years, only power had ever held his gaze long. That and money.
A strange lively feeling lit his chest now along with the strange flutter when he thought of the pretty little bearer, how strange? He wondered what that meant, whatever it was made him feel good. Very good, better than he had in a long time and Yomi wanted to keep feeling that way. To do that he needed Harrison. Just thinking about the Bearer brought excitement and a strange almost giddy feeling. Yomi had decided that he liked that, a lot.
Yomi shakily sat up, ignoring the wetness that ran down his thighs and the flop of his now limp sticky cock. He wiped his hands over his sheets feeling like some bigshot virile buck in a way he hadn't in many many years. He couldn't even remember the last time he had been interested in sex with someone let alone the last time that he had it. There was no way that he would allow the only person that made him feel that… good… get away. He was sure that Raizen was still outside of his territory and had remained that way so he had to have the monks that were in his territory take Harrison. It was a foolish move. Yomi was going to be taking a little trip from the city, he decided. He doubted even with such a head start the two could outrun him. Catching his pretty prize would be fun. Just the thing he needed before a hard and proper claiming fuck. It would be glorious.
End Chapter 13
So how is it? Do you think that Yomi will get them or will they make it to Raizen and how will Raizen react when he sees Harry? Or will he have to save him from Yomi in the end?
COOL NEW FANFIC STORY IDEA/IDEAS I WANT OPINIONS ON BELOW!
Okay so I have a couple ideas for different fanfics I plan to start for the Harry Lupin series in the future I have most of the ideas on facebook but I have one more that I came up with based sort of on this same story except Harry doesn't get sent to this stories time but instead about 11 years in the past and Shinobu finds or saves him and falls in love with him. But the same events happen in the Chapter Black season but for completely different reasons all completely for Harry, at least in Shinobu and his multiple personalities mind/minds. He would be totally in love with him and wanting to give him everything and anything that he could in his twisted psychotic style of doing things not caring who he killed to do it or who suffered. Itsuki would still be be super jealous and trying to talk Shinobu out of being with Harry. I got the idea from when I was writing about what Shinobu imagined their life to be like together if he had met him earlier. Also I wanted to be able to write a bit about the Dark Tournament and how their relationship would be with all of his personalities so obsessively devoted and in love with Harry after saving him and taking care of him.
Please review! It keeps me motivated and often gives me awesome ideas for my stories! I often use bits and pieces of suggestions in the comments for my stories! I also HAVE NO IDEA WHO I WANT TO PAIR HARRY WITH NOW! So telling me who you guys think could really help me out! What do you guys/gals think I should do in the situation they are in to, have Yomi catch them or have them make it to Raizen?! I would love to know because I may not get a chapter out for a while if I can't decide what to do! I am half dead from being so tired right now so the chapter may be a bit choppy, sorry!
Next Chapter hint: Confrontations and Devastations
