Because I got a day off and this was requested long ago! Also, I'm going to work on the second part of Uchiha Mana, and since I didn't get a clear answer about if you wanted it in Shippuden or not, I decided to do a bit of both for the ch.
You're a what now...?
The sports festival.
Hakutaku had been looking forward to this all year, because it gave him a legitimate reason to be in hell without being kicked out by that bastard oni. Oh~? Look at all the ladies~! The celestial being thought, eyeing a few bent behinds of some working girls. Lucky~! He thought with a chuckle. "Mah~ Mah~! Hurry up Taro-taro~, the ladies aren't going to treat themselves!" he sung, beckoning his assistant to hurry with their medical supply's.
Said human sighed, already dreading all of the complaints from females he would have to endure. Not to mention Hozuki-sama will probably start something again.
Why did he feel so much more older then he did? Where had his youth gone?
He was brought out of his thoughts when he bumped into Hakutaku's back. He blinked, wondering why they had stopped when their booth was just a bit further. "Ano...Hakutaku-sama...?" he started, only to jolt when Hakutaku let out an excited exclamation. "Wha-?"
"And who's this~?" Hakutaku stated, his eye's glittering as a grin worked it's way onto his face.
Momotaro sighed internally, knowing the reason as to why they stopped now. Which poor girl has to deal with him now? He wondered as he followed the medics line of sight. He didn't see anyone who stood out, not until a raven haired demon turned their way. His brows raised, because the demon was indeed beautiful.
Chin length feathery black hair with a tint of blue, cat shaped silver eye's, small nose, nude lips with a small hint of pink in them, red marking under the eye's, long lashes, thin brows, long bangs in a 'V' shaped fashion, and a heart shaped face. The girl seemed to be a few inches smaller then Hakutaku, body lithe and what seemed like a well shaped figure (He couldn't tell as the black and red kimono hid her body well). He also noticed she had four white horns, the two nearest her brows were only an inch long and the size of a small marble, the others were larger, but still no longer then his pinkie.
She's really pretty. He thought, before his brows furrowed in pity as he saw his employer make hast in her direction. That poor, poor, girl. He sighed before leaving towards their station. As he set up, his mind wandered back to the girl. Hm? Actually she seems familiar. He thought with a blink, wondering where he had seen her before. Those eye's looked familiar...now that I think about it that Kimono also kinda looks like- he paused as an image of Hozuki appeared in his mind.
He froze.
No...
He had to be imagining it. Because he was fairly certain Hozuki didn't have a sister.
But then he felt that murderous aura that only Hozuki could emit. As Momotaro slowly looked towards the announcers box, where Hozuki was stationed, and witnessed the pure murderous face he was making that was being directed towards someone.
Lord Enma looked terrified sitting next to him.
The people around him were frozen stiff, not daring to move.
Everyone flinched when they heard the unmistakable sound of the megaphone breaking in his grip, along with the in-human snarl that escaped his lips.
Please don't be him, Momotaro silently begged- becauethatwashozuki'sfuckingsister- as he turned to see what had Hozuki so angry. Pleasepleasepleaseplease- his begging went unanswered as he saw Hakutaku moving his hand down the girls waist.
Said girl seemed to be flustered as she was dragged into the other chest, especially when Hakutaku sneaked a sly kiss on the edge of the girls mouth.
Momotaro frantically started getting out everything he could need for life threatening injury's, because Hozuki had gotten up and started making his way towards the oblivious medic.
This is way too much Karma, even for Hakutaku.
Said celestial beast was enjoying the reactions he was gaining from the girl, while she didn't express much, the blush on her cheeks and shifting of her feet told him enough.
And he always did like a challenge.
Kawaii~ he thought as he watched her jolt when his hand skimmed her rear. "You know, my clinic tent is just over there, maybe I could show you the back room? We've got plenty of time until the event starts~" he suggested. "You're playing right? Maybe you can tell me what event you're in so I can cheer you on~?"
"Ano...I...don't think my brother would like that." she stated softly, her sleeved hand coming up to block the lower half of her face. "And...well...I'm in the in first and last event."
Hm~? Her voice is kinda husky. He noted, it made her sound fairly androgynous, as he starting to lead her towards his booth. "Mah~ Mah~ I'm sure you're brother wouldn't mind. It's a learning experience after all!" Maybe it get's higher when she moans? He mused, fully intending to find out in a bit.
She tilted her head, looking at him in thought before averting her eye's to the left. "Saa~...well, if it's to learn...then...my brother may allow it." she mused, her bottom lip caught between her teeth in thought. She didn't seem to notice what this was doing to Hakutaku, who was watching intently, before tilting her head to the side. "He practices medication as well, so he probably will allow it. He has always encouraged me into branching out from my 'Torture Demon' profession..." she stated, "We will need to ask permission first."
Gerk, he froze. He's never had to deal with a demonic brother before, mostly because he wasn't down here enough to hit on any demoness. Well, he may back off once he realizes who I am. He thought with a shrug. After all, he's faced godly brothers, so this shouldn't be a problem. "Hm~ Sure." he agreed, "Then lets ask your brother. Is he here right now?"
"Hn." she nodded, pointing her finger behind them. "He's coming over here right now." she stated, a small happy smile playing it's way onto her face.
Cute~! he mused, "Wonderful! That makes this easier." he said as he started to turn his head, "So, which one is-BURGH?!"
He never finished that sentence as a fist came flying at him, decking him in the cheek, and sent him rolling and skidding quite a ways away from the girl.
"Ah, Onii-sama."
"You DISGUSTING PIECE OF TRASH SCUM DARE TO LAY YOUR FILTHY HANDS ON IZUMI!" Hozuki snarled darkly. He placed himself in front of her, scowling darkly at the pest, using himself to shield Izumi if necessary. He almost stole Izumi's first kiss. Hozuki thought darkly, No one will kiss Izumi until I give my consent to date.
"Nii-sama?" the now identified Izumi questioned, not knowing why he had reacted so violently towards the other.
"N-NII-SAMA?!" Hakutaku yelled in horrified shock while holding his bruising cheek. What the hell was this? Since when did this bastard have such a cute little sister?! He pointed at Hozuki in accusation, "SINCE WHEN DOES A PETTY BASTARD LIKE YOU HAVE SUCH A CUTE SIBLING?!"
"Tch. So you can still talk?" Hozuki huffed, cracking his knuckles as he prepared to deliver some fatal blows to the other.
"Hooo? Whats wrong? Scared that Izumi-chan will decide to stay with me instead of you?" Hakutaku taunted.
"You-!"
"Nii-sama..." Izumi interrupted, gaining the twos attention. "The event is about to start, and you seemed to have misplaced your megaphone."
Silence...
…
..
….
…
"Fine." Hozuki grumbled, turning around and wrapping a protective arm around Izumi's shoulders and leading them away. He sent one last scathing glare at the other before they left Hakutaku's sight.
"Whats wrong?" Izumi questioned.
"...Just wondering when that lecher changed his preference in bed partners." Hozuki grumbled.
Later found Hakutaku avidly watching the first event, which was a scavenger hunt. He found Izumi besides a young demon with white hair and lazy eyes.
[The first game! Scavenger Hunt!]
He saw her tie up the hem of her kimono, and was slightly disappointed that she was wearing shorts underneath it. But, he thought, tilting his head to the side. She has some nice legs. He thought and he could see the smooth skin up to her mid thigh.
[READY! GOOOOOOOOOO!]
And a deafening boom resounded through the area, making the celestial being jump and almost have a heart attack.
"WHAT THE HELL?!" Hakutaku yelped, looking to see that the starting signal was a bazooka this year. Where did that come from?!
[And the anticipated first game begins!]
Hakutaku sighed, impressed that Izumi didn't seem effected by the blast as the others, as she was currently in the lead.
[Oh? Seems like a few athletes fainted from shock due to the starting signal.] an annoyed click of the tongue was heard. [Thats not very becoming of a hell warden.]
Izumi had picked up a piece of paper, stared at it and blinked while tilting her head on thought.
[Hooo~? Whats wrong Izumi? Time is wasting.]
Izumi turned, seeming to look for something, before looking in his direction and walking towards him.
"Hm~? Yes Izumi?" Hakutaku questioned with a smile.
"I need you to come with me, if you will." she said, grabbing his hand and leading him back towards the field.
[This year, games will increase the mental capabilities of all athletes. Go ahead. Have fun!]
"THIS IS NOT FUN!" a little demon with brown hair yelled out.
While Hozuki was having fun embarrassing the newer warden's, Izumi had almost made it to the finish line with Hakutaku.
"Neh, what was yours?" Hakutaku questioned. "something to do with medicine?"
She shook her head, "No." and with that she crossed the line, along with another demon waving a wig.
[Oh, while we were chatting, Nasubi-san and Izumi has reached the goal. So, what are the items?]
Nasubi held up the wig, then the card. "Here!" on it said 'someones wig'.
[Flawless pass.]
Off to the side, an elder employee was despairing about his bad head.
[Izumi, and your item?]
Izumi presented Hakutaku, then showed them her card. 'someone you had naughty thoughts about'.
Hakutaku gawked for a moment, before a sly grin took over and he slid his arm around her waist. "Well, well, well~! So you had some naughty thoughts about me, hm?"
Izumi blushed, shrugging as she looked away. "There was a brief flash of it when you...kissed the side of my mouth..."
The cracking of a megaphone caught their attention, the demonic look Hozuki had on his face sent shivers of fear down Hakutaku's spine.
"HOZUKI! HOZUKI STOP YOU'RE GOING TO BREAK IT!" Enma screeched.
[Hn. Izumi, come over here. NOW.]
Izumi nodded, giving Hakutaku one last look before heading over.
"...I definitely have a chance." he muttered before heading back to his station.
"Please don't." Momotaro said immediately.
"Hm?"
"Don't go after Hozuki-sama's sister, please. I don't think you would survive."
As the game progressed, the event's seemed to get more and more ridiculous. Momotaro had no idea what to think of it, while Hakutaku had become bored since Izumi was not in any of the other one's sans the last. He had nothing to do other then plot way to get a date with the attractive girl.
Finally the last of the games came, one where the winners had to save the hostages from a fire-y death.
The ball was released, Nasubi making great headway with Izumi right behind him. Sadly they didn't seem to be able to make it, thus Hozuki had gotten up and bashed the ball away from the would be victims.
He sighed, turning towards Izumi who had stopped besides him. Taking in the smile directed at him, before scoffing and looking at the players, "...I won't save anyone in the actual event tomorrow, got it?"
…
…
"...Ac-...Actual?" a demon muttered blankly.
"...Today was...a rehearsal?" one of the tied up ones muttered in horror.
"I told you all about the mental load earlier on, didn't I." Hozuki stated before leaving with Izumi.
"Hello I-zu-mi~!"
Only to stop at that irritating voice. He immediately shoved Izumi behind him, glaring at Hakutaku. "What do you want filth?"
"Eh~? Can't I just come over and give a 'well done' my favorite player?" Hakutaku drawled, winking at Izumi. He dodged the strike from the spiked club aimed at him, making him scowl at the oni.
"Leave." Hozuki snarled.
"Hmp. Not until I get an answer from Izumi." He stated, turning to the face peaking out from behind Hozuki. "Neh, Izumi, wanna go out on a date?"
"No-"
"Yes."
Hozuki twitched at her answer. "Izumi..." he warned.
"But...Nii-sama this is the first time someone has asked me out, despite knowing we're related." she stated with a frown.
"But of all the people-!" he started, growling, before stopping at the look he was being sent. He 'tch'ed before falling silent.
"Ehhhh?! No one has ever asked you out?!" Hakutaku stated, amazed how no one could have asked out this beauty. "How could no one have asked out such a beautiful girl such as yourself?!"
The two siblings blinked at what he said, the only sound was the distant screams from various hells.
"Hooooo~?" Hozuki hummed, an amused yet irritated smirk gracing his face. His eye's twinkled in glee at what Hakutaku said. I'm not sure if I should be infuriated or amused by this development. He mused, because on one hand this piece of shit had just gotten Izumi's hopes up for a date and seemed to like the bastard for some odd reason. And on the other hand...
...well...he was slightly looking forward to seeing the lecher's face.
"...Ano..." Izumi started, stepping out from behind Hozuki. Her cheeks were flushed in embarrassment, brows furrowed in irritation, "I'm a boy."
…
…
…
"...Eh?"
"Tch, let's go otouto. You can hash out the detail of you...date-" he spat out with malice, "later. We have work to finish before heading home."
"EH?"
"Hai, nii-sama. Hakutaku, I look forward towards our date." he said with a smile, before leaving with his brother.
Hakutaku was left gaping, his mind trying to process that- yes- he was hitting on a guy this whole time. That he had been mentally undressing him for a few hours...
….and that, for some odd reason, he did not care that Izumi was male.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHH?!"
Day's later found him strolling through many of the hells with Izumi, he had no idea what to do. He couldn't have canceled on him, that bastard demon would have just hunted him down and made his life hell. And even then, he found that he didn't mind as much as he thought he would have.
He's still pretty cute. Hakutaku thought, peeking down at the shorter male.
"Neh, do you want to go get some ice-cream." Izumi stated, they were currently in Shugou hell, strolling along and looking at the wares. They stopped in front of an ice-cream vendor, Hakutaku didn't know what to say so he thought this was perfect. His mouth would be busy so he wouldn't have to talk much.
It was the worst thing.
He twitched, his vanilla ice-cream melting in his hand as he was too busy staring at Izumi.
Who had gotten a Popsicle...
...Fuck. Hakutaku thought, watching a pink tongue flick out and run along the side of the icy treat. What made it worse was the sigh of satisfaction the other gave, along with bobbing his head slightly when sucking. FUCK. He clenched his hand, destroying the cone and making the ice-cream drop to the floor.
"Ah, your ice-cream." Izumi sighed.
"A-Ah, oops...Held it too tightly." Hakutaku chuckled sheepishly. At least he stopped. He thought with a relieved sigh. So glad I'm wearing loose pants.
"Your hands a mess."
"It's fine, I think I have a handkerchief somewhere..." he trailed off when Izumi took his hand and started to lick his fingers clean.
Hakutaku's mind stalled for a moment.
He's never had sex with a man before, but he was certainly willing to try at the moment.
"Hm~" Izumi hummed, licking his lips. "Maybe I should have gotten Vanilla instead." he mused, before looking up at Hakutaku and blinking. "Hakutaku? Is something wrong?"
"Hm...?" The other hummed distractedly.
"He's probably thinking something disgusting."
Hakutaku choked at the voice.
Izumi, on the other hand, smiled brightly as she turned towards the speaker. "Ah, Nii-sama! What are you doing in Shugou hell?" he questioned.
Hozuki clenched and un-clenched his jaw, "These two have stated an interest of working here in the future." he stated, gesturing towards Nasubi and Karauri behind him. "I came to show them around."
"Ho~? Are you sure you want to work here?" He questioned the two.
Karauri nodded vigorously, "YES!"
Nasubi just shrugged, not caring one way or another.
While they talked, a certain elder brother was in the process of choking a celestial beast.
"GRK!" Hakutaku gurgled, struggling to detach the hand around his throat.
"You despicable beast." Hozuki snarled, tightening his grip. "Do you think I didn't see the way you were looking at my darling otouto? That I didn't see the vile thing's going through your mind?!" he hissed.
CAN'T BREATH! Hakutaku thought desperately, NEED AIR! But he knew that the oni wouldn't stop anytime soon. He flailed slightly, face turning purple as his eye's started to water.
"Nii-sama, what are you doing to Hakutaku?" Izumi questioned, noticing what the two were doing.
"Just showing the scum some torture techniques." Hozuki said blandly, contently watching as Hakutaku started to slow his movements as he started to fall unconscious. Hurry up and die already!
Izumi hummed at that, before going up and prying his fingers open, freeing Hakutaku. "Thats all well and good, but you need to continue with your tour, while I still have a date to complete."
"Tch."
Hakutaku was breathing heavily, shakily standing up and using Izumi as a shield. Scary. He thought, face pale as he avoided looking towards those murderous eyes. He's never gotten the other that angry at him before, and he's not incline to do it again anytime soon. "You saved me." he said gratefully. How the hell are these two related?
Izumi smiled at him, threading their hands together and started to tug him away. "Of course I did, we still have a few more dates to go one afterall."
Despite the hectic first date, Hakutaku had decided that going on a few more didn't hurt. He had started to like the other male, it helped that the other was knowledgeable in medicine and too an interest in his work.
It wasn't until the third week that he understood how Hozuki and Izumi were related.
"Izumi~!" Hakutaku greeted the other. He had decided to surprise the demon at work today, finding out that Izumi was working part-time in Shugou hell as a favor for Okou.
"Ah, Hakutaku! What are you doing here?" Izumi questioned.
"A surprise date!"
Izumi blinked, before smiling and blushing slightly. "Oya? Really? And where will we be going?"
Hakutaku grinned, "I got us tickets to see that new movie that cam out."
"Hm? Which one?"
"The horror-comedy one."
Izumi chuckled, linking their hands together and started to walk towards the theater. "Isn't it suppose to be a romantic movie for dates?"
"Well, you said you didn't like any of the romantic ones that were out right now..." he shrugged, scratching his cheek.
"So 'Horror-comedy' was your answer?" Izumi chuckled.
Hakutaku gave a sly grin, "well it was either that, ooor..." he leaned down, lips brushing the others pointed ear, and whispered. "we could go back to my place and have some fun~." he emphasized this with with nipping Izumi's ear. He chuckled, feeling the shudder rip through the body next to him, pleased at the reaction he could get.
"Hakutaku-sama~!" a voice called, making the couple stop and look to where it came from.
Izumi's eye's narrowed at the scantly clad demons from Dakki's business, waving Hakutaku over.
"Waaah~ We haven't seen you in a while~!" a black haired beauty with an elaborate kimono stated, "Why don't you come in for a while?" she said, trailing her hand down her body and batting her eye's.
Hakutaku gulped, shifting his feet as he smiled at them. "Ah, no can do, I'm currently on a date."
The girls coo'ed at him, one of them looking towards Izumi critically before dismissing him. "Eeeeh~? But thats so boring, just leave the little one alone and come have fun with us!"
Ah...Momotaro did say that this would come back to bite me in the ass. Hakutaku thought, trying to politely turn them down. He could feel Izumi's grip tightening the longer this went, making the celestial start to sweat.
"Hn." and with that, the pressure on his hand disappeared, along with the hand itself. Hakutaku started to turn around, not wanting Izumi to leave and think that he would fool around with the girls.
Except he barely tilted his head before a while stand was thrown towards the business, electing screams from the workers.
His eye's were wide open, staring at the ruined front of the shop, along with the cowering workers before he felt a malicious presence behind him. Oh shit. He thought shakily, turning slowly to see Izumi with a metal club in his grip. ...Oh.
"How dare you." Izumi stalked closer to the huddling girls.
….Ooooh...
He grabbed the hair of the one who dismissed him, yanking her towards his face while ignoring her pained cry. "How dare you try and take whats mine." he growled.
"I-I'M SORRY!" she yelped, screaming when the club smash into the wall next to her head.
….OOOH!
"You should be sorry, no one touches whats mine!" he smashed her head into the wall harshly, knocking her out. He then turned to the others- who flinched away- and pointed his club at them. "You can tell Dakki, that if any of her workers try to take whats mine again, then Izumi will tear her tail's off of her one by one."
….So thats how their related. He thought blankly. He blinked, not even fighting when Izumi took his hand and started to walk again. Acting like nothing had just happened. "...huh..." was all he could say. That could be troublesome, he mused looking around. He noticed the look they were receiving, the expected fear and wariness were there, admiration and awe were weird but ok...
But what was not ok was those look of lust and attraction directed towards Izumi.
Hakutaku frown at those, a possessive feeling bubbling up in his stomach. He narrowed his eye's, freeing his hand and instead wrapping his arm around the others waist. He may be categorized as 'Celestial', but he was still a demon.
A demon treated as a god.
And neither of those like to share what's theirs. Both were possessive with what they have, and what he currently has is Izumi.
Well, I guess we're a good match afterall. He mused, his eye's flashing a sinister gold as he glared at a particular demon licking his lips.
