- Chapter 4 -

1 week has passed and Rukawa was still visiting him but the he didn't kiss gensui again.

And now gensui was taking a bath in the river where Rukawa saw him for the second time. His wound was already healed thanks to the noble god's treatment. Rukawa fell under the nurse-material category. After inhaling, he went back under the water swimming.

Rukawa smiled as he watched Sakuragi swimming under the crystal clear water. Too bad the latter was swimming with his pants on. The noble god had been there for quite a long time and yet gensui didn't notice his presence.

After a while gensui waded back to the dry land and searched for his towel. he knew he placed it beside his coat but the towel was gone. He whirled around as soon as his towel was drape on his shoulder. His eyes mirrored surprise when he saw Rukawa.

"How long have you been there?" he asked suspiciously

"You're welcome" Rukawa replied warmly

"I said how long?"

The noble god shrugged his shoulders "long enough to know I desire you even more"

Sakuragi blushed hard.

"And to realized those chains are stretchable"

Gensui gasped as he realized that the chains and manacles he had worn for many years were visible. But his surprise was incomparable when Rukawa found the chains. He was so surprised beyond words to find Sakuragi's hands handcuffed, his feet shackled and his neck manacled. With the chain of his neck manacle linked with the chains of the shackle and handcuff'.

"What's that Hana?" Rukawa asked warmly and curiously, his blue eyes never leaving Gensui's face.

Sakuragi looked at Rukawa and somehow he answered the question almost in trance.

"They are chains fit for a murderer like me...carrying the burden of all those I killed... they are my prison " he said painfully and sadly.

Rukawa wrapped his arms around sakuragi "It's not like you wanted to kill... you were just a killing puppet just like the rest of the fighting god".

Sakuragi leaned into his embrace... seeking warmth and forgiveness for all the crimes he committed.

"Let me be your freedom Hana" Rukawa offered softly. Hearing this and fearing of what might happen to him if he accept hiss offer, Sakuragi quickly stepped out from the embrace and ran like hell away from Rukawa.

~~~

For two days Rukawa never saw Sakuragi. Obviously the latter was trying to avoid him. For two days it worked but he decided to do something about it.

"You were supposed to be here 30 minutes ago gensui" Rukawa said as Gensui entered his room. Gensui jumped in surprised and whirled around to see Rukawa sitting on the edge of his bed.

"Get out" he said rudely "I want to sleep"

"Why are you avoiding me?" the raven-haired asked with no intention of leaving the room.

"What do you want from me anyway?"

Gensui kicked himself mentally for asking such question when he already knew the answer.

"I see you already have the answer you sought" he stated sarcastically with a smile.

Gensui sighed in surrender "It seems your parents brought you up spoiled"

"..."

"Come and do anything you please... you won"

*won* repeated Rukawa mentally and he frowned darkly.

"d-did I say something wrong?" gensui asked as soon as he noticed the frown. It was his first time to see a dark frown on his face. "I just said you won"

"That's the problem" Rukawa said as he stood up and walked towards the redhead. "I don't want to win... I want to lose... everything... to you" he whispered to his ear and gensui's eyes widened when he heard this.

And before he could utter a retort, Rukawa's warm lips were already on his. His teeth nibbling his lips gently and then his tongue started licking his lips probing... coaxing...

Rukawa groaned as soon as the other opened his mouth in daze. The raven-haired leaned his head sideward to deepen the kiss.

Sakuragi could feel kami's tongue moving against his teeth... touching the roof of his mouth... stroking his tongue... coaxing to respond. Kami's kiss was gentle yet wild... passionate... and gensui couldn't help but respond as he slanted his head.

Rukawa moaned in triumph as he felt Sakuragi's tongue dancing together with his. He drew Sakuragi's tongue in his mouth while his tongue went back to explore gensui's mouth.

After long minutes of passionate and heated kiss, they parted. Their face flushed and they were panting.

"I want you so much" Kami whispered as he started nibbling gensui's left shoulder while grinding his hips against gensui's eliciting a deep throaty moan from the red-head.

Gensui leaned back when he felt Kami's hand unclasped the handcuff.
"let me be your freedom" he offered again.

Gensui not wanting to run anymore said "I'll take it off when we are in this situation"

Taking that as a permission, Rukawa unclasped the rest of the manacles. The chains and manacles made a sound as they slid to the ground.

Gently he undressed gensui and with every skin exposed he kissed them.

Sakuragi simply undressed kami without failing to gently run his hands on his smooth skin. After they were naked, they kissed each other as they walked to the bed.

The two landed on the bed with Rukawa on top of Sakuragi. But instead of giving him intimate touches everywhere, the blue-eyed god lay beside him and propped his head on his elbow.

When Sakuragi couldn't feel kami's hands, he opened his eyes and looked at his side and found Rukawa watching him intently.

"Is there something wrong?" he asked.

Kami shook his head "I'm just admiring you and wondering if you are real"

Gensui felt captivated with those passionate blue eyes "I'll prove it that I am real" then he kissed him.

The raven-haired kami pushed him on his back... his mouth leaving gensui's as he kissed his face... nibbled his nose and then the junction of his neck and shoulder. He started sucking gensui's chin before he traced the outline of his right ear with his tongue.

"aww...gawd... that tickles" Sakuragi whispered.

"But it turns you on" the noble god whispered against his ear

"Aa... it surely did" then he yanked kami's hair so he could kiss him. Rukawa let gensui plunder his mouth for a few seconds before breaking the kiss.

Rukawa's mouth moved lower... kissing his throat...

Sakuragi grunted when kami straddled him.

Gensui stroke kami's soft hair.

"aah~" gensui sighed as he felt kami mouth taking his left nipple while his thumb was on his right nipple stroking and rubbing until it stood proud against this thumb. His tongue was lopping around his other nipple... toying with it. After his nipple hardened his mouth went to his right nipple sucking it.

Kami kissed his way lower and when he came across gensui's navel. he moved his tongue into navel and whirled it around then he proceeded lower. Gensui arched his back as soon as kami gave his balls kisses.

"please" kami heard him begged. Knowing what he wanted, kami gave all his attention to gensui's hardened length and rained butterfly kisses on it then he nibbled the tip of his length that left him panting and moaning. Then he gave his length a thorough lick from tip to its base. Precum was already dripping from its tip.

Rukawa retraced his path with hurried kisses and then when he reached gensui's mouth he gave him a very passionate kiss that made Sakuragi moan at the back of his throat.

"Ne... Hana... do you have a lotion?"

"What do you think of me? a woman?"

"Or anything we can use for lubricant"

"I have cleaning formula for sword" Sakuragi replied teasingly.

In reply, Rukawa wrapped his hand around gensui's length and gave it a good and hard jerk that made him gasp.

"The lubricant please"

"Drawer on the bedside table... but that's not mine"

"Defensive aren't we?" Rukawa teased as he reached for the lotion

"Okay so its mine but I don't use it... I just like the scent" he said honestly.

Kami put a good deal of the aforementioned lotion on his hands and coated his fingers with it.

"what the-" Sakuragi muttered as he felt the other inserted his finger into his asshole. Kami stilled his finger until he saw the redhead relaxed. He moved his finger in a circular motion and then drew it out. Then he coated it again and this time he inserted two fingers and repeated the same procedure. When Gensui relaxed he moved his fingers in scissors-like way. When gensui was ready... he applied a good deal amount of lotion on his hardened length. Gawd! he wanted to come so badly already... this was the 1st time he felt this need.

"Ready Hana?" he asked as he spread gensui's legs wider to accommodate him. Gensui in reply just arched his eyebrow confidently. Rukawa lifted gensui's hips.

Gensui could feel the warm heat probing against his entrance then a streak of white pain flowed through him as kami plunge into his full length. Sakuragi gripped Rukawa's shoulder hard that made his knuckles white. The raven-haired kissed him in order to take his mind off from the pain.

"I told you to get ready" kami murmured against his lips.

Damn! gensui's asshole was so tight... he knew that this was gensui's first time to have done this with any man... not that it wasn't his first time also.

Seconds later, gensui relaxed and moved a bit then he gave a throaty moan as kami's length touch his sensitive spot. Kami started thrusting trying to set a pace welcomed for both of them.

Sakuragi spread his legs wider to give the other man more access. Before, all those women Rukawa had made love would be faceless and nameless as he entered them but in Sakuragi's case... it was different. He can still clearly see the face of Sakuragi even if he already closed his eyes.

Rukawa could hear his groans and moans mingled with Sakuragi's. He kissed the other with his tongue plunging into his mouth in rhythm with his thrust. When their need for oxygen became a first priority they broke the kiss. Rukawa wrapped his hand on gensui's throbbing length and started jerking it off in the same rhythm. As they reached the zenith of their passion they screamed and kami covered gensui's mouth with his to muffled their screams…

After their heartbeat was steady and they caught their breath, Rukawa slowly eased himself out from Sakuragi and laid beside him. Silence ruled the place but it was a silence they welcomed.

"ne... Kaede... arigatou"

"arigatou" Rukawa replied and as if in cue their hand move in search of the other and when their hand met they held as they fall to a peaceful slumber knowing that their life will never be the same again.

~end of flashback~

Rukawa woke up and looked at the school clock. He was 15 minutes late to his class but he didn't mind. He slowly trudged his way to his room.
