Gojyo rolled over and grumbled as he awoke to a loud crash of thunder from outside. He slowly opened his eyes and frowned at first, then smiled at the sight of his lover.

The kappa leaned over to kiss his forehead before sitting up and reaching into his pants which were on the floor to pull out a cigarette. He lit it up and took a drag; crimson eyes still on the beautiful demon beside him.

Kougaiji sighed, lilac eyes peering out from under heavy lids as the sound of rain awoke him. He glanced at the soft light coming through the window, ears perked to the pattering sound. He smiled, loving to wake up to rain and glanced to his side, a soft blush on his cheeks as he gazed the length of his lover-

"... Gojyo... You did stay..."

Although having come down from last nights activities, his voice was still husky from a good sleep.

"Said I would Kou..."

Gojyo said, taking another long drag. He ran a hand through his lover's hair and smiled.

"Besides...you're mine now. I'm not about to lose you to some bimbo..."

"Some bimbo? ... Who'd you have in mind? "

"Hn...Maybe that Ya'O Ne...she seems to have eyes for you Kougaiji..."

Kougaiji smiled, lifting off his stomach and stretching his arms out in front of him into the mattress. He groaned softly and arched his head back.

"Mmm... Ya'O Ne is lovely... but I could never take her as a lover... She's too… fragile for me..."

"Heh. So you need someone who you can get a bit rough with without breaking them?"

The kappa asked with a grin.

The crimson prince smiled something devilish looking and shrugged a shoulder suggestively.

"Above all, I am a warrior... I can take more than you'd think..."

Gojyo grinned at that and took another drag.

"Ah...rough kind of person, eh?

Kou chuckled, lounging back out on his stomach, head resting on his hand.

"Sometimes... though compassion can be just as nice... and the test of a true leader... Strong, yet compassionate... no?"

"Yeh...I guess you're right. It's a nice change from having to sleep with someone all gentle and shit."

Gojyo mumbled, thinking of Hakkai. The healer could have his moments...but generally it was pretty gentle...and loving...

The crimson demon yawned and nodded absently, thinking of women he'd been with in the past. He liked being the strong one, being gentle with their frailer bodies... but... Last night had proven to him just how amazing letting go completely could really be... He smiled and rolled from the bed, walking to the window and peering out at the rain. A few cold droplets hit his bare flesh and he shivered with a sly smile of pleasure.

Gojyo got up himself and walked over to press against the other redhead from behind. He smiled and nuzzled his neck affectionately.

Kougaiji blinked his jeweled eyes softly, turning his head a bit to look back at his lover. He smiled at the sweet caress and moved his hands back to gently rest them on the kappa's hips.

"Mmm...I could stay here forever in this room with you..."

The kappa whispered his ear, licking the shell afterwards.

The demon prince closed his eyes, tilting his head to the side and emitting a soft groan. His fingers curled slightly, allowing his sharp nails to dig into Gojyo's flesh and make red marks. He leaned back against his 'would be rival' and whispered his name.

" ... Don't leave me..."

"No way in the fucked up hell we are in Kou..."

Gojyo replied, running a hand down the soft flesh of Kougaiji's side.

Kou trembled slightly, lifting one hand back to wrap behind the half breed's neck as the other one came to rest on top of his lovers wandering hand, trailing with him.

Gojyo smiled and kissed his cheek tenderly.

"Lets go back to bed..."

The prince chuckled and turned, looking into his companions crimson eyes that were so deep... like pools of blood that he could drown in. Kougaiji groaned softly and nodded.

Gojyo pulled his lover to the small bed with him and pushed him back gently.

The smaller redhead fell back with a smile, a soft tint on his cheeks as he rested on his elbows, looking up at the handsome water sprite.

"W-what were you planning to do to me?"

"Hm...I don't know yet...I could make you scream and beg me for more...go painfully slow..."

He mumbled, running his lips across the other redheads jaw line.

Kougaiji shivered and tilted his head back with a soft moan of submission, brows knit slightly as he stared hazily at the ceiling.

"D-do what you want... I don't care... I-I want it all..."

"Or maybe...I'll tease you a bit...then leave you hanging until you want to cry...would you like that Kou?"

The prince jolted, his head snapping back up as he stared at the taller male with wide eyes.

"Y-you wouldn't!"

"Hm...I could...I'm pretty good at that..."

Gojyo mumbled, trailing his tongue down Kou's warm chest.

The crimson demon frowned a bit at the prospect and didn't much like it. He tilted his head to the side and sighed, lifting one clawed hand to trail through his lover's silky hair as he inched down.

"I don't ever want you to leave me Gojyo... Even if you are teasing..."

Gojyo looked up in surprise at how insecure the pure blood could be. He ran his tongue over the smaller mans left nipple and grinned.

"I wouldn't leave you leave you...I meant leave you hanging..."

A hiss of pleasure escaped the redhead and he knit his brows, trying to understand. He knew what Gojyo meant, but couldn't let go of a more deeply rooted fear of being given such a gift and then it being stripped from him... like everything else precious to him in his life... Kougaiji sighed and nodded, looking down a bit.

Gojyo slid back up Kougaiji's body and laid over him, stroking his cheek with his long fingers.

"I'm not going to leave you..."

Kougaiji looked up at him with searching lilac eyes, lifting a hand to counter stroke his lover's cheek. His fingers caressed the twin scars that marred the kappa's perfect face... scars that were so much almost a perfect reflection of his own birthmark... same side... same color... one less. Kou knit his brows and pressed his thumb nail down into Gojyo's cheek, slicing a thin third mark in under the other two. He blinked softly at his work and leaned up, licking away the blood.

"There... now we're the same..."

Gojyo winced at the feel of his skin parting and groaned in pained pleasure. He leaned down to kiss his beautiful lover with tenderness he didn't really know he could have with another man. Sure... Hakkai and he had slept together...but did he love him?

Kou groaned softly, this 'marking' of sorts making him feel more connected to Gojyo. This way it was their secret... The kappa would know every time he saw it... and so would the dark prince.

"Make love to me Kou...I need you..."

Gojyo mumbled, for once in his life blushing at his neediness.

The smaller redhead blinked softly in surprise, looking at his lover.

"You mean... uh..."

Gojyo nodded with a soft groan, planting kisses along the youkai's face.

"I need you Kou...only you..."

Kou blushed but nodded, his hands shifting down across his lovers body, grasping his hips and pulling him closer so that their arousals rubbed between them. He grit his teeth and groaned softly looking up at Gojyo as he positioned himself.

"Y-you sure?"

Gojyo smiled and winked at him.

"Yeh…"
Kougaiji let out a nervous chuckle and nodded, reaching down to rub his pre more evenly over his cock before pulling his beautiful lover down onto him.

Gojyo moaned and rocked down hard, tilting his head back with a lustful growl.

Kou felt his breath catch in his chest, the tight heat encasing him halting all functions. He squeezed his eyes shut, gasping for air that didn't want to come.

"G-gods..."

Gojyo pulled up and slammed back down to meet Kougaiji's hips, running a hand down the youkai's muscular chest.

The prince cried out at the sudden friction and dug his nails into his lover's hips. It hurt like hell, but that made it so much more sinfully pleasurable. Kougaiji growled deep in his throat, counter thrusting up into the hot body above him.

Gojyo growled in return and raked his nails down the older mans chest.

"F-Fuck...Kou..."

Kougaiji shuddered at the slight rip of flesh as his lover clawed at him. He let out a low moan, craving more of it, the pleasure and the pain. Shifting out a bit, Kou slammed up hard, pulling down Gojyo over his heated shaft and hilting himself to the point that their pelvic bones grinded together.

"G-Gods!"

Gojyo cried out, arching his back and rolling his hips against Kougaiji's.

"Ahh! G-Gojyo!"

The young pureblood grit his teeth so hard his jaw started to throb. This wasn't like yesterday, soft and gentle... This was carnal... animalistic. They both needed it hard and rough, craved the intimate abuse... It was a good balance... being able to sedate both urges, the tender side, and the primal one... Kougaiji moaned between heavy pants.

"Uhhnn... c-can't hold... G-Gojyo..."

Gojyo moaned loud as he felt his release and came over his own muscular stomach.

Kou gasped, watching his lover orgasm. He was surprised by how amazing it was to witness. He didn't last much longer before hitting his own peak. He cried out and leaned up, pulling his lover close as he came buried deep inside him.

Gojyo smiled as he panted for breath and stroked the youkai's crimson hair beneath him.

Kou panted heavily and leaned his head back to look up into his lovers crimson eyes.

"I don't care what they say about half breeds Gojyo... I think your hair and eyes... are fucking gorgeous..."

Gojyo smiled at that.

"Thank you...You're pretty gorgeous yourself..."

The prince chuckled.

"Yeh… I know..."

"Ooh...a narcissistic side eh?"

He grinned playfully.

"Not really... I just took it to heart when you said it last night..."

"Ah...I see..."

Gojyo mumbled, leaning down to kiss him gently.

Kougaiji hooded his eyes, sighing into the kiss and gently wrapping his arms around the kappa's slim waist.

"Thank you Gojyo..."

"...For what?"

The kappa asked curiously.

The redhead looked intently into his beloved's deep eyes for a long quiet moment before a tender smile spread on his lips and he shook his head, leaning it against Gojyo's chest.

"For everything..."
