Notes: Hello readers, thank you all for the comments. I have reached over 100. Wow, great that everyone is enjoying the story. People are asking why I refer Yaza as 'it', only a few know Yaza is a guy. Second, he plays woman/man parts throughout the story. Thanks again and please continue to comment. I do read them and brighten up my day.
Fei Long looked around as Yoh stood by his side. The guards were glaring with their hatred. There was the woman from before, Ai staring him down. Yoh stood straight, feeling uncomfortable without their weapons.
Ryio walked to them, asking, "Why did you show up?"
Fei Long stated, "That thing told me to come."
"I wasn't talking with you." Ryio responded and asked, "Why Yoh? You betrayed us."
"I did no such thing. I did as ordered. I ensured the safety of Takaba." Yoh replied.
Ai slapped Yoh in the face, hissing, "To be here on the behalf of another is betrayal. I'm surprised Yaza did not kill you even if you are its brother."
Fei Long watched the woman walked away with pride with Ryio. He turned his head, chuckling, "They do not like you."
"I told you Asami took us in. He was only sixteen when he did it. His father wanted us dead, but Asami refused it." Yoh explained.
"He wanted servants." Fei Long hissed.
"He never used us until he was eighteen. Well, he used Yaza who gladly helped in serving him." Yoh chuckled softly.
Fei Long looked at the man to see the guards glaring at Yoh. Yoh was losing everything to be beside him. He crossed his arms and leaned against the wall. He asked, "What is happening here?"
Yoh lit up a cigarette, sighing, "The world is going to see something that even I never thought possible."
Asami watched Akihito step back. He spoke, "Akihito, you have your punishment for him."
Akihito turned to him, the anger gone, as the man whispered, "Make it get up. I'm not going to do this."
"Akihito." Asami growled out his warning. Yaza was still kneeling before his lover's feet. Akihito shook his head. He spoke, "He wronged you. As my partner, it is your duty to show the power."
Akihito cried, "No. I can't. Please don't ask me to do that." His lover grabbed a hold of him with tears as he whispered, "Ryuuichi, no. I can't. I can't."
Asami felt his heart pull to see the tears. He wiped them away to see more fall. He sighed. He spoke, "Yaza, get up." It stood with its head bowed. He pulled his lover to his body, sighing, "I will have a guard watch your friends while he is here."
Yaza spoke, "Show Fei Long who Master Ryuuichi belongs to. This is forever. Once he sees, there will be no hope in him."
Akihito turned to face the creature as he replied, "I did not need him showing up for my wedding. I went through hell when he had my friends and took me, Yaza. I did what he wanted to survive! I came home to worry I might carry a product of my kidnapper!"
Yaza glanced up, then looked down as it responded, "I should have thought. My head is not clear and should have left."
Asami kept his arms around his upset lover. He would let this work between his assassin and his lover. He wanted to ship it away, but something told him it would cause more damage than good. He looked down to his lover to see the fists curl and uncurling.
Akihito sighed, "I have no idea what you are talking about and no, I do not want to know. I want to make sure my friends are safe."
Asami replied, "A guard will be right beside them. Suoh is here and will do it." He was thinking about Suoh to walk his lover down, but he needed a sharp head to watch out for Akihito's friends. He turned to Yaza, stating, "You will walk Akihito down to me for the combining."
Yaza snapped its head, "You want me still here?"
Akihito walked to the assassin, pulling it into a hug while Yaza looked alarmed and his lover spoke, "You made a mistake. It is okay."
"Mistakes can make a kingdom fall. It is not okay." Yaza replied.
Yaza looked at him in alarm. Those green eyes pleaded for him to help. Asami spoke, "You will do as I ordered. Keep an eye open for any move on Fei Long and Yoh. Will you fail me now?" Yaza shook its head, trying to break the hold. There was a knock at the door. Akihito released his hold and answered. The friends piled in, looking between them all in worry.
Ai walked in, ordering, "Ryuuichi, it is time for you to leave. Let us get this under way."
Asami spoke, "A guard will look after Akihito's friends and Yaza will walk Akihito to me." His mother nodded her head. He lifted Akihito's head. He softly kissed the lips, promising him that nothing will go wrong this time. He left with a bow of his head to his mother. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair as he headed to the priestess. As he entered, he completely ignored Fei Long. He walked to the priestess, speaking, "He might be a little nervous about the combining."
"I understand. I will ensure it goes through even with the nervousness." The Priestess spoke softly.
Asami nodded his head and went into his changing room. His uncle was looking between everyone to see the slight change in the room. Hiroshi followed him, looking him over. He answered the unvoiced question, "An old failure and one who took what is mine."
"That does not sound promising. I never heard you fail in anything." Hiroshi replied.
Asami started to change as he responded, "He was too soft. I failed him by showing the cruel world. I tried to protect him, but only showed betrayal. It does not matter. He crossed me with Akihito." He did not know the worry his lover held when they got back. He did not ask even after learning about the drug in his system. He fixed his silver yakuta that had the Asami mark on it. He fixed his hair, glaring into the mirror. Suoh stood by the door and he ordered, "Stay with Akihito's friends. I do not want a repeat." Suoh nodded his head and left to stand guard. Fei Long will see there will never be a past. They were not to be. If he thought about it, he realized there would never been anything in the past.
Hiroshi asked, "Should I be alert?"
Asami chuckled, "You are not one to deal with the underworld, uncle." Hiroshi raised an eyebrow at him. He spoke, "It will end the moment he learns the truth. I bind myself to Akihito."
Akihito took off his shirt and his friends gasp loudly. The mark was seen. Tia looked at him while Takato and Kou tried to look elsewhere. They were trying to be supportive, but they still did not understand.
Kou asked, "Did it hurt?"
Ai glanced at him as she started to lay out the yakuta he picked. Akihito did not know what to say. He answered with his heart, "There will be pain with this relationship, with this marriage." Tia opened her mouth and he sighed before she could speak, "Ryuuichi ensured there were breaks."
"Why?" Tia asked softly.
Ai answered for him, "He does not carry the Asami bloodline. This mark will show the world he is bound to the Asami name and forever untouchable."
Akihito held his hand up, stating, "I chose this freely. Please, no more. I have enough with Fei Long being a witness." He saw Yaza tense. This time it was dressed in a suit with its hair pulled up. He asked, "Yaza, are you a woman or a guy?"
Yaza sighed, "I am whatever people want."
Akihito was hoping to get the crazy person back, but seems Yaza was still upset. Ai helped him put on the yakuta and started to fix up his hair and cover the bruise up. He asked, "What happens at the combining?"
"I do not want to scare you and I'm sure Ryuuichi has made sure the priestess know you are nervous." Ai sighed.
"I need to know. No more surprises please." Akihito groaned. He hissed slightly as the bruise was touched with the makeup.
Ai answered, "The Priestess will make you repeat your loyalty to Ryuuichi and place the ring on his finger. She will ask about any engravings on it and have you repeat it. Ryuuichi will do the same to you. The part before the rice wine will be some oil on your mark and blessed water for blessing. That might hurt a little. The rice wine is shown as the final step."
"Sounds a lot. Just don't faint Aki." Kou teased.
Akihito glared at his friend who was laughing. Tia smiled while Takato decided to join in the laughter. He glanced to Yaza to see him staring at its nails. He was fixed up. He looked into the mirror. Soon he would be known as an Asami. Yaza stepped forward. It was time. Ai helped his friends out. He stared into the mirror again. Everything was going to change.
Yaza spoke, "You are strong. It is the reason you get to stand by his side."
Akihito looked at it and sighed, "I'm ready." He did not go through all this pain for nothing. He will stand by Asami's side until the end. He rubbed his stomach, knowing they had a life to care for. They created the child out of their love. He smiled and turned away from the mirror. It was time to be beside Asami side forever.
Asami glanced around the room. Hiroshi was standing next to him. His brother and mother were in the front row. Akihito's friends sat a few rows back and Suoh stood next to them. The other guards were placed around. Fei Long and Yoh were in the back, leaning against the wall. Fei Long kept staring at him. He took a deep breath as Yaza starting to walk down his lover. Akihito held a firm look. Yaza kept its eyes sharp. He was pleased with the yakuta Akihito chose. It brought out his beauty.
Akihito stood in front of him, speaking with a whisper, "Ryuuichi."
The Priestess bowed her head to both of them as she spoke, "We come here to combine two people together." She paused and turned to Akihito, "Repeat my words. I swear my loyalty to Ryuuichi until my death."
"I swear my loyalty to Ryuuichi until my death." Akihito stated, moving slightly when the ring was handed to him.
The Priestess asks, "Is there an engraving in the ring?" When Akihito nodded his head, she ordered, "Repeat the words."
Akihito took a breath and said, "We descend into the pits of hell together."
Asami helped the hand place the ring on his finger. Akihito's hazel eyes looked at him. He could see the determined look, but the nervousness within his lover. He patted the hand, silently telling the boy he was doing it right.
The Priestess turned to him, stating, "Repeat after me. I swear my loyalty to Akihito until my death."
Asami smirked as he spoke, "I swear my loyalty to Akihito until my death." He repeated the words in the ring, "We descend into the pits of hell together." He placed the ring over the finger. Akihito grabbed his hand, holding it close to him. The yakuta was raised slightly and oil was placed over the marking. Akihito squeezed his hand. Then the water, a deep blessing for the family. Akihito hissed and kept his grip on his hands.
The Priestess hand over the small cup of rice wine, ordering, "Drink to show your loyalty is to Asami Ryuuichi."
Akihito took a slip and handed the cup to him as the priestess told to do. He kept his eyes on his lover as he drank from the same side of his lover. Hazel eyes kept looking at him.
The Priestess spoke, "I pronounce you husband and wife. Asami Ryuuichi and Asami Akihito."
Asami smirked as he saw the frown on his lover's face. He pulled Akihito to him, sealing the lips into a promise of what would come tonight. He pulled back to see his lover wanted to skip everything and head to their private room. He whispered into the ear, "Patience and tonight we will show each other our love." Akihito nodded his head. He turned to speak to the priestess as Akihito went to his friends.
Fei Long turned to Yoh, hissing, "A wedding. This means nothing."
"It means everything, Fei Long." Yoh replied.
"What do you mean?" Fei Long asked.
Yoh sighed, "Look around. Look at the guards. See their look on the boy now. He has gained every respect now. He has power of the Asami name now."
Fei Long opened his mouth and shut it when Akihito moved to the door with his friends. Those hazel eyes glared his way. He spoke, "He will never be loyal to you."
Akihito laughed, "You have no idea. He is MINE! You will never have him, Fei Long. NEVER!"
Fei Long watched as Asami came up behind the boy. Those strong arms wrapped around Akihito. Those gold eyes were on Akihito. They were no longer on him. He didn't know what he felt. Yaza stood next to the two, swearing pain to anyone who would dare touch them.
Asami taunted, "Ah, there is the fighter I know." The man looked at him, stating, "There is a dinner. Misbehave and it will be your end."
Fei Long glared at Asami, but the man said no other words. They were shown to a dinner area. Servants bringing out a large dishes of food. Yaza walked to them. He glared at the creature.
Yaza leaned to his ear, stating, "Many have walked into Master Ryuuichi's life. None of them gained this or even a whisper of this meaning. You did not even gain a glance over time. You were tossed aside."
Fei Long went to growl, but Asami's brother grabbed Yaza's hair, snapping its head back. He stared to see a cold look within Ryio's blue eyes.
Ryio spoke coldly, "You should be punished for your disobedience, Yaza."
"Oh, please do." Yaza purred.
Fei Long snorted, "Take your bedroom somewhere else." Yoh glanced toward his brother and to Ryio.
Ryio chuckled, "You have no idea, but you will never have Ryuuichi. The only one who will have him in the bedroom is Akihito. We were taught one thing by our father, this combining is for life. If we can't be loyal, no point of binding ourselves to someone."
Fei Long watched as Yaza bounced away and Ryio followed. He asked, "What does that thing have with that man?"
"Didn't know they had a thing together. Though if I remember right Yaza has been after Ryio for years." Yoh answered.
Fei Long looked ahead to see Asami talking with a man sitting next to him. He watched as Akihito would push something away from his dish, Asami would wave a servant to take it away and then it would be replaced with something else. Those gold eyes were on Akihito. He ordered, "We are leaving." His own heart was hurting. He did not want to think about or see it with his own eyes. He stood up, gaining a quick look from the yakuza. Yoh stood up. He did notice there was a bow to Asami, but he was in no mood to remark and left with Yoh.
Akihito smiled as his friends moved closer to him. Suoh looked at Asami and his husband waved his hand. Fei Long left and he felt better. The food now was making him hungry unlike a few minutes ago. He started to eat, laughing when Kou was sighing in despair about his girlfriend texting him every two seconds. He mumbled around his food, "Did you tell her you are at a friend's wedding?"
Kou sighed, "Well, not really. Not sure how to state that."
Yaza chuckled, "Say at a friend's wedding. Do not need to give details."
"Are you better now, Yaza?" Akihito asked. Yaza blinked its green eyes at him and tilted its head. Asami was busy talking with his uncle, who was briefly introduced to him.
Ryio walked over and remarked, "It will be just fine."
Yaza chuckled, "I see pretty dragon left."
Akihito tensed but slowly replied, "You can be cruel."
Asami piped in, "He needed to know his place, Akihito. Our past is long gone."
Akihito turned to his husband, asking, "Would you have bound yourself to him if things were different?" He did not know the whole story. He was sure there was more to it than what Fei Long would tell him. There was silence around them, and he spoke, "Never mind."
"No, I would not be bound to him no matter what happened in the past." Asami replied and spoke before he could, "We will discuss it later. Not here, Akihito."
Tia whispered as everyone went back to talking, "Did they have a thing?"
Akihito whispered, "Fei Long sort of acted like a sworn lover." He did notice gold eyes glance at him, but went back to talking with his uncle. He waved more questions away, sighing, "I can't believe I'm married."
Takato chuckled, "I never thought you would settle down."
Kou muttered, "I thought he was hiding a hot babe."
Takato sighed, "I kind of figure a man, but was never one hundred percent sure."
Akihito groaned, "Give me a break will you." His friends laughed. Ai walked over, giving him a hug as she whispered something in his ear. He turned his head, whispering to Asami, "May I try my parents?" Ai welcome him into the family. It made him think of his.
Asami looked deeply at him, sighing, "If you want, but you might just become upset."
Akihito nodded his head. He lied to his friends that he had to use the restroom. He stepped into the living area. He dialed the number to have answered. He spoke, "Do not hang up."
"Why do you keep calling? I told you we want nothing to do with you."
"Dad, please hear me out."
"No. I do not want a disgrace calling us. You keep upsetting my wife."
"I wanted to tell you I'm married now. Like you care. I hid almost since I was a teenager. You will never know me or my child. I love him. I love him and always will!" Akihito yelled as he hung up the phone. He felt tears. He froze as he felt arms wrap around him. He leaned into his husband. He whispered, "You warned me. I just…"
"Some people will never understand." Asami responded.
"Everyone with you understands." Akihito whispered.
Asami turned him around, wiping the tears as the man spoke, "I did not hide. I had female and male lovers in my life. Though most of them never believed I would do a combine."
Hiroshi spoke from the doorway, "People sometimes will not accept what is love, Akihito."
Akihito turned to look at his uncle-in-law. He nodded his head. He asked, "May I have a few minutes to myself? I do have to use the restroom." Asami nodded his head, telling him not to take too long.
Fei Long ordered, "Find a hotel." He was needing to escape those gold eyes. He knew they were looking at Akihito with all the man's heart. Yoh pulled up to a small hotel. Not what he usually had but will do for the time being. He followed Yoh into the hotel. An elderly man looked at them behind a desk. Yoh spoke to him about two rooms.
The elderly man spoke, "I only have one room left."
Fei Long remarked, "That is fine." Yoh raised an eyebrow, but he did not continue with his words. Yoh got the key and headed toward the room. He spoke as the door opened, "You seem comfortable here."
Yoh explained, "I spent some time around this hotel when I was escaping Yaza."
"You have a weird relationship with your brother." Fei Long remarked as he lit up his pipe.
Yoh sighed, "It was too late to save Yaza by the time Asami got us. He was damaged already."
When the door shut, Fei Long stood up. Yoh looked at him. He walked to the man, pushing him against the wall. Yoh made no move to protect himself even with the gun pointed to his chest. He leaned forward, "Such a fool." Who was he calling a fool this time? Was it Yoh or was it himself? He sealed the rough lips into a heated kiss.
