"Gone to the Dogs"

Chapter Six

Duo looked thoughtful for a moment. He watched the two oriental pilots as Wufei tried to comfort Heero. A pang in his chest made him avert his eyes from the sight. Heero was lucky enough to find a mate, one where he could bond with him and live with him for the rest of their lives. But he didn't have something like that, the only thing that had come close to something like that was Kikyo but she wanted him to change and be a full human. Wufei was so excepting of Heero and it made him jealous. He loved the two of them but he couldn't have them. There wasn't any room for him.

"Well, now that we've said our life stories, I'm leaving." Duo got up from the couch and walked out of the room quickly. He couldn't stand to stay in that room any longer, it hurt so much.

Wufei and Heero glanced at each other and got up from the couch. "We'll go after him." The Chinese pilot said as Heero and him got up and followed after Duo.

Duo was in his room having just gotten all his laundry from the dryer and was packing his clothes into the duffel bag where he kept all his belongings. He picked up his old outfit and growled low in his throat. Damn the priestess, he thought. It's her fault he was alone like this! He stuffed the dry clothes into his pack and zipped it up as Wufei and Heero walked in.

"Where are you going?" Heero growled out.

"Leaving," Duo replied as he started to braid his hair. "It isn't safe for me anymore. You know who I am and if Sesshoumaru finds out I'm alive, he'll come after me and try and kill me. You're a full demon. You don't have to worry about shit like this, kit."

He picked up his black baseball cap and put it on. Walking over to his dresser, he picked up his yellow sunglasses and slipped them on. Grabbing the rest of his sunglasses, he stuffed them into his duffel bag, totally ignoring the pair standing in the doorway.

Duo knew he couldn't fight Sesshoumaru like he had in the old times before human technology. It wouldn't work. Too many nosy humans and so little room to fight, it would be impossible to battle each other. He could never take him on as he was either, he was sure that Sesshoumaru wasn't slacking over the last couple hundred years so he had no chance to defeat him like he was. Full demon or not, he was rusty fighting youkai.

Heero growled and stuck his arm out to the other side of the door, blocking Duo's exit. "You're not leaving. You're not the type to back out of a fight. I know you're not a coward, Duo- unless you have been hiding behind that human image too long and forgot what it means to be a demon."

Duo's eyes glinted dangerously behind the yellow glasses and his fingers curled into a clawing position. The end of his braid bristled into a thick tip as he growled an unconscious challenge. "I'm not a coward." He stated in a calm, deadly voice. "You even suggest that one more time and I'll kill you, Heero. I didn't survive for so long getting into fights I can't win."

Wufei put his hand on Duo's shoulder in an attempt to calm him down. "No one is calling you a coward," the Chinese boy soothed him. "But if you leave the team like this, we could end up loosing the war."

Duo smiled bitterly. "So, you need my skills for the war? Fuck you Wufei." He swiped at the Chinese boy with his hand in blind anger to kill Wufei for the slight he had made.

He wasn't sure what made him do it, maybe the blood lust lingering just below the surface. He wanted to kill the Chinese boy or maybe just to maim him but Heero was suddenly in front of his mate, holding Duo's arm in a death grip.

The intensity of Heero's green-yellow eyes made the dog demon hold his breath in surprise and a tinge of desire heating his body in all the right places. Not too many people ever looked at him like that; full of furious rage blinded by desire-flames dancing in their eyes. And here was one of the last people he ever thought to have looked at him like that.

Heero's eyes stared at him intently, trapping him in the kitsune's gaze and his body tensed and ready to bolt. Green-golden eyes traveled down his body and Duo felt a shiver coming on as the eyes slowly moved up his body again. With a gentle tug, Heero moved Duo's wrist up to his lips sensually as his eyes locked with the golden ones hidden behind yellow sunglasses. A tongue darted out and gave the smooth underside of the half-demon's wrist a quick taste.

Duo felt his eyes droop to half-mast as he watched the full demon in front of him. He wasn't sure exactly what the other was doing to his senses but he suddenly couldn't think as clearly as he did before. He felt the world around them fade and disappear, and a large, ancient forest surrounded them. A very familiar tree stood in the middle of a clearing, its roots twisting into the ground as if battling for a place in the forest. His eyes widening, Duo broke the gaze of the kitsune and gapped at the scenery around them.

"How . . " Duo cursed silently at the suspicious choke in his voice.

Wufei's voice behind him spoke in his ear as he pulled the half-demon to his chest. "I think," he murmured. "We are getting a first hand look at Heero's special abilities."

His mind was fuzzy. He couldn't really process the statement until a few minutes later when the implications hit him. Kitsune were noted to be the best lovers in demon society. Not just for their ability to literally make all your fantasies come to life, but their sensual bodies. Many human tales spoke of kitsune as sexual spirits that fed off of life and the best type of life energy was sex energy. When you had sex with a demon fox, you would never want to go back to a regular sex partner because they were just that good. Did that mean--? He looked up at Heero who was still staring at him intently, Duo's wrist still on his lips.

Heero smirked, a twinkling glint in his eyes. "You challenged me." He said. The movement of his lips on his wrist made the dog-demon shiver. He felt desire rush to the surface of his emotions as the kitsune continued. "Back there, at the safe house. You issued the challenge. These are the battle grounds I picked. Wufei?"

The Chinese pilot glanced over Duo's shoulder and gave his lover a questioning look.

"You can join in any time you want." Wufei smirked, understanding the under laying message.

"What—?" Duo blinked, his mind was still a bit fuzzy.

In a smooth ripple of muscle, Heero pulled himself up against Duo and trapped the dog demon against his body. The kitsune's eyes were glittering with the promise of a challenge as he bent down and captured the hanyou's lips.

The soft lips touched his and he instinctively closed his eyes as soon as he felt the first brush of the kitsune's energy against his own. The feeling sent an electric shock down his spine and the other's energy made him gasp. Heero quickly took advantage of the distraction by deepening the kiss. Duo felt his resolve wavering just a little under the passion of their lip lock. It was like nothing he had ever experienced, it wasn't just a simple touch of mouths as he thought it might feel like. The kiss was a dance of energy that tasted like sweet chocolate.

He purred so softly, his chest rumbling with the vibrations. He didn't even know he had been purring until he felt the answering rumble in Heero's chest. Soft, curious fingers took of his baseball cap and ran their padded tips over his over-sensitized ears. He arched into the touch a moan escaping from his lips, his purring becoming more pronounced as the soft petting turned rougher, harsher and Duo growled into the kiss.

Heero smirked against the other demon's mouth as his mate continued to torture the poor dog demon to death with pleasure as he petted and pulled at the dog ears. Unrelenting fingers rubbed and soothed the soft puppy fur on the ears, occasionally running the fingers through the long hair.

Duo gasped, his entire body hummed with pleasure as the kitsune magic did its work on him. He sank to his knees feeling as if he would melt, Heero and Wufei following him as he struggled to regain control of his body betraying body; hands tight with pleasure fisting the grass under them and soft purring growls rumbling in his chest all the while.

Heero's kiss traveled down the long neck while the hands explored Duo's body, teasing moans from his throat while he pitched nipples under the dog demon's shirt until they were hard pebbles against steel-like muscles. Wufei from behind Duo to cup his hardening sack and gave it a firm, but gentle, squeeze. Duo cried out, drowning out everything around him as he felt his release rip through him.

The hands and the kisses were suddenly gone and they were back in the room. Heero and Wufei were still in front of him, staring at him intently. No grass was beneath his hands, no Holy tree in the clearing in the back round, and he was standing exactly where he had been before, only his pants now had a wet spot in the front.

Duo knew he was panting, his desire written on his face as he struggled to get himself under control again. He couldn't will away his growing erection and he knew the two of them could see and smell his arousal as he struggled to push away the pleasure he had gotten from the illusion. It was a lost cause and he kenw it, but he still tried to ignore it. He had to forget he had just been under the kitsune's control like a new born demon pup with no protection against psychic attacks.

He snarled in anger. He was being toyed with- by this younger demon, a kitsune no less! "How—you toyed with me, played on my emotions---"

"And I won." Heero had a knowing smirk on his face. Without a doubt he really had won the challenge. "But you know, and I know, that while the scenery wasn't real; the emotions were, InuYasha."

"Fuck you!"

Heero chuckled softly. "I think that's a nice offer, don't you think so too Wufei?"

Wufei looked thoughtful as he gazed at demon with appreciation. "Hm. Maybe. But is he really offering or trying to curse us?"

"Smelling the way he does, I think it's an offer we can't refuse. Perhaps he won't be so quick to leave us then."

Duo backed up into the room, suddenly feeling more like prey then predator. His duffle bag lay forgotten on the floor as he swallowed slowly. He breathed heavily through his nose, sounding loud to his own years as his eyes darting around the room for an escape. Wufei and Heero follow him in the room, looking to him more and more like two tigers ready to pounce. He gulped. He was in trouble. But it was well worth it, seeing his two loves push him down onto the bed and take his breath away. And he allowed the submission this time, knowing he would get them back one day. After all, Heero was going to hit the prime of his life soon, and puberty was a bitch on hormones. He would get him back, and get revenge as he played on the younger demon's canine instincts.
