Part V

Seishirou gently lowered Subaru's body down on a bed of sakura petals. He reached down and scooped up a handful of the blossoms and sprinkled them all in the Sumeragi's hair. This made the elder smile his predator's smile as he caressed the young man's cheek with his fingers. He guided those same fingers down the ever tempting throat. He enjoyed feeling the little swallows Subaru would sometimes give.

"My, Subaru-kun. You truly are adorable. I could eat you."

The assassin was still bewildered as to why Subaru was naked. But that didn't really bother him. It was a delicious sight. And more over, it was delicious to know that his Subaru was untouched and untainted. Not yet, anyway. Subaru may have grown mature and more aware of evil, but his innocence wasn't completely stripped of him. Unlike his clothes.

Seishirou ran his killing hand (Or efficient job finishing hand.) down the nape of his prey's neck and farther down till he reached his chest. He could feel the steady heart beat. An almost annoying reminder of what he failed to silence years ago. But he really couldn't complain. Hunting down Subaru all these years, allowing his shiki to be his eyes, was a lot of fun.

"I miss your blush, Subaru-kun. I bet if I were to really embarrass you…or better yet, pleasure you…" He brought his lips to one of Subaru's nipple and began to make slow, intricate circles around it with the tip of his tongue, earning a little moan from Sleeping Beauty. "…I bet I could make your whole body blush."

"I bet I could punch you in the face."

"Ah, Subaru-kun. I apologize. It seems that I have woken you."

"Don't give me your fake concern bullshit. And could you please stop saying "bet"! Now you even have me saying it. As if your little game, eight years ago, wasn't painful enough." Subaru sat up and blushed once he realized that his clothes went bye-bye. He tried desperately to cover his naughty bits.

"Hahahaha! Subaru-kun. I was right. Your whole body blushes once you're embarrassed enough." He tilted his head to the side and slowly picked off a sakura petal from the onmyouji's hair. "Your petty attempt of covering yourself amuses me. But I didn't bring you here to kill you or have my way with you."

"What?"

"I know. Such a big surprise. I actually need you to do a little favor for me…"

"Psh. Why on EARTH would I ever do a favor for YOU?"

The Sakurazukamori sighed dramatically and reached inside his jacket's front pocket. "I thought you might be reluctant to help me. That is why I brought these!"

"No!" Subaru gasped and tried to snatch them away.

"Oh yes. The photos Hokuto-chan took of you when I accidentally slipped some sake into your oden. Here's the picture when you talked to some asshole stranger in a club's restroom. And here's one when you dolled yourself up to be a prostitute all for the sake of a dare. Oh! Wow! I almost forgot about this one. Remember when you were naked and you were swimming in a fountain and your penis got caught-"

Subaru slammed his hand over Seishirou's mouth to stop him immediately. "Seishirou-san…No more…I get your point." Subaru recovered from the embarrassing photos and scurried away, only to have his back pressed against a tree trunk. "What in the world?"

"Subaru-kun. Remember that little favor I asked of you?"

"…Yes."

The assassin smirked. "I need you to trim the branches of this sakura tree. Normally I would do this but She has been very tetchy with me. I figured your purity would soothe Her enough to allow you to tend to Her."

"…"

"And…If you don't do this…I'll send every one of your comrades a copy of each of these photos."

"Seishirou-san…H-how can you be so cruel?"

"Good boy. Now hop to it."

"And what, pray tell, am I supposed to use?"

"Nnh…Do that bird trick of yours. They can cut things, correct?"

"They can cut your thing…" Mumble mumble.

Arashi set the last plate down on the dinner table. Their dinner consisted of lasagna, breadsticks, and a Greek salad. This was something they haven't done in a good while, but whenever they could, they would eat as a family. Kamui was usually resistant to eat and Sorata was always happy to eat. And speaking of the monk…

Sorata let his nostrils flare to take in all the wonderful smells of their dinner.

"Mmm-mmm! Oh boy, Missy! This all looks terrific! I see you've been taking cooking lessons."

"Yes well, you and Yuzuriha always make the meals. I just wanted to be of some…use."

"Awwwww! Arashi-san! That's so cute!" Yuzuriha twirled around and placed napkins by each plate. "And I agree with Sorata-san. I can't wait to dig in!"

Arashi blushed. "Yuzuriha-chan…" The normally cold shrine maiden found herself in these situations with these two all the time.

"And not only is she a knock-out, but I'm sure her cooking is wonderful. Maybe a candle-lit dinner isn't that far away, huh Missy?"

Arashi chose to ignore Sorata's silly talk and looked around for a spatula.

"What is it Arashi-san? Did you forget something?" Asked Yuzuriha with worried eyes.

"Yes. I don't know where I placed the spatula…"

"Uh oh. You know that this means, don't you?"

"No, what?" Went both of the swordswomen.

"Missy is going to have to whip out her sword!"

"Damn it, Sorata! Was that another lesbian joke!"

"N-no of course not. Heh heh, don't be silly. While you're looking for something to serve the food with I'll be on the lookout for Kamui. I told him not to be late." Sorata bravely made his escape.

"That man needs to get laid." Arashi left the kitchen.

"What does that mean?" Yuzuriha followed after her while Inuki hopped up onto the table and shoved his face into the food.

Fuuma pinned Kamui into the couch. He held the boy's wrists over his head and snapped on a pair of chocolate handcuffs.

"F-fuuma!"

"Don't even try to break the cuffs. They're made out of the world's strongest dark chocolate. There's no breaking these." Fuuma untucked Kamui's white button down shirt and also began to unbutton his pants.

Princess Hinoto awoke from a startling dream with a gasp. She looked around the room with her unnatural, blind eyes to find herself alone.

"Kamui! You're in grave danger! You must leave that apartment at once! Dragons of Heaven, please hear me. You must save Kamui! Sh-she will kill him!"

The door to Fuuma's apartment slowly creaked open…

Omg! This is so scary! I think this story is coming to its climax (Heh, climax) very soon. What will happen to our X babies?
