Chapter 8: My last night with you

"Ren... not here. I want this to be special." he said standing and helping Ren up. "Come on." he pulled him back to the house quickly.

Horo closed his bedroom door behind him and pulled the smaller shaman closer, holding him in a warm embrace. How he wished that he would have told Ren his feelings sooner, then maybe they could have taken this relationship slowly, making their bond grow. However time didn't permit that. Horo had a feeling that it was either now or never. He knew he had to be with Ren like this now... or he'd lose him. He looked down at Ren when he felt the boy shudder. It hurt Horo's heart to see Tao Ren, supposedly immune to emotions, in Horo's arms crying.

"Shh Ren..." he said quietly, holding him tightly. "I'll always be here... let me be your comfort, your shoulder to cry on, your guiding light... let me help you."

Ren buried his face into Horo's chest and managed a faint smile. Thank god for people like Horo. Ren knew he wouldn't be alone. And if he had to die in the night, at least he knew he would die with Horo and die happy. He nodded a little and looked up at the Ainu.

Horo smiled and leaned down a little, pressing his lips against Ren's in a heated but gentle kiss. He slowly coaxed Ren into returning the kiss, moaning a little to emphasise that he meant no harm. Very slowly Ren kissed back, soon giving himself fully to Horo, his small body pressed close against the older shaman.

Horo's hands made their way down to Ren's waist as the smaller boys hands rested on the Ainu's shoulders. They continued to kiss eachother, the quiet broken by a few moans.

Horo pulled away and smiled at Ren. "Ren..." he said slowly. "Please... let me have you?" he asked in a low voice, almost a whisper.

Ren smiled and nodded a little. "Horo... I only want you to have me." he answered back capturing Horo's lips with his own.

Horo gratefully kissed back, happy that his love was returned. Now he could keep Ren close... till he lost him. He shook that sad thought from his head and undid Ren's shirt, pushing it off his shoulders. He broke the kiss and couldn't help but grin at Ren. The kid was skinny, built and sexy beyond all reason. He brought his hands down to Ren's pants but was stopped as Ren undid his snowjacket and removed it, his t-shirt following right after. Horo smiled and undid the white belt around Ren's waist, letting it fall to the ground. Without the belt to support them Ren's pants easily slipped off him, sliding to the ground. Ren stepped out and removed Horo's shorts slowly. Horo finished undressing both of them and quietly whispered in Ren's ear.

"Ren... turn around..." he whispered breathlessly.

Ren nodded and turned himself around, feeling Horo's pulsing member on his ass. He heard Horo whisper that he didn't want to hurt him but Ren put on a brave face and told him to do it. He reassured his lover and put a hand on his cheek, looking up at him. Horo smiled a little, reassured that Ren would be fine.

Horo lifted the smaller body and very slowly pushed himself into Ren, sheathing himself completely. Ren groaned a little in discomfort trying to get used to the size. Horo continued to whisper comforting words in his ear, afraid that he was hurting him. Ren sighed as his discomfort vanished and was slowly replaced by pleasure. He moaned a little and moved himself around a bit, giving Horo the 'okay' to continue.

Horo gently took Ren's member in his hand before laying the smaller shaman on the bed, so that he was bent over the bed, his knees on the ground. Holding Ren's member firmly in his hand he slowly began thrusting, relishing in the moans the chinese shaman released. He slowly gained a rhythm and slowly sped up, grunting as he stroked Ren in time with his thrusts. Ren screamed in pleasure and moved a little with Horo making the older boy go as deep as possible. The sensations filling his body were overwhelming and his movements sent shivers down his spine. He couldn't imagine being with anyone else right now.

"Oh god..." he groaned. "Horo..."

Horo leaned close. "Yes Ren?" he whispered into his ear as he thrusted.

Ren barely managed to his whisper his answer between the moans he was causing. "Harder... please..."

Horo nodded and nipped at the flech of Ren's neck. He pulled back and thrust hard into Ren, grunting as he stroked hard on the member in his hand. Ren groaned in response and threw his head back letting out a small yell of pleasure. The pressure on his member as well as Horo's thrust caused him to see stars. He let out a final yell and released onto Horo's hand and bed. Horo felt Ren's walls tighten around his member, throwing him over the edge. He released into Ren with a deep moan.

"Ren..." he panted flipping them over onto the bed, letting Ren lay on his chest. "I love you."

Ren smiled and pulled Horo into a light hug, his vision blurring. "I love you too... thanks Horo." he whispered.

Horo held Ren close and waited till the smaller one fell asleep before going to sleep also.

The next morning Horo woke to a bright day. However that day quickly turned dark as his friend wouldn't wake up.

Horo held Ren close even though he knew his friend was gone. At least Ren had died happy, that he was in a better place now. A peaceful look would remain on Tao Ren's face for all eternity. Horo finally stood and wiped his tears before going to tell everyone the news. They held the memorial ceremony at the Asakura house like Ren had asked and buried him in the backyard. Horo was given the honour of choosing the tombstone to be put on Ren's grave and he couldn't help but smile at that. He knew exactly what he wanted to put on it. It didn't take him very long to decide that. He had thought it up during Yoh's touching eulogie. Everyone had said a few words in the end, especially Horo who spoke for ten minutes. They had a violin playing Pachabell cannon softly in the background as they lowered Ren's casket into the ground. At Ren's request they dressed him in his shaman battle outfit, the one he wore when he was with Team The Ren. That night Horo unveiled the tombtone that read:

In memory of Tao Ren
Always stuck up we will remember him
May you be in a better place...
Wait for us buddy...
Rest in peace
