Severing Binds

Okinawa's streets were filled with people bustling to and fro, but as the two chevaliers passed through the crowds men and women alike paused to look at them. Haji's pitch black hair creating a stark contrast against his white clothing as he walked by Solomon's side the former was dressed in a deep blue and his golden hair shone under the artificial lighting of the street lamps. They moved with animal like grace yet the way Solomon kept close to Haji's side spoke of affection and the need to protect. It didn't matter to him that Haji was most likely twice as deadly as he was the years spent in rebuilding the other man's health had created a habit of kinds one that he was in no hurry to break.

Pausing he glanced towards the high school, he knew Saya was there but Haji had expressed no want to see her and had in fact seen her once and left before she approached him. Solomon smiled it seemed his previous worries had been for naught, Haji did not wish to abandon him for his former mistress instead the sightings had driven the normally stoic man to seek even more affection a fact for which Solomon was not complaining. He loved when Haji used him like his own human shaped pillow wrapping long limbs about his frame as he nuzzled closer to the heat of Solomon's body.

Glancing over at Haji he smiled as he caught the other watching him intently, cocking a brow in question he stood still as Haji smoothed a finger over his forehead, the simple gesture reminding him of how much Haji hated seeing him frown. The move was both a reprimand and a question.

"It is nothing Raven," he responded employing the nickname in an attempt to show that he was indeed alright.

"Do not think to distract me Solomon." Was the rebuke as he winced, sometimes Haji's insight was a bit too insightful "You were thinking of Saya again."

"I worry…" he began only to be interrupted by Haji's chime like laughter, watching as it caught the attention of passers by.

"Yes Sol I know it's your nature as is jealousy," the ebony haired chevalier smirked watching Solomon's expression change from shocked to petulant in mere seconds. Raising a hand again he brushed away the blond fringe "And it is one of the many reasons why I love you so."

Solomon captured the hand, brushing the fingers over his lips,

"As I you." He whispered "I apologize for my lack of common sense,"

Haji twined their fingers together as Solomon moved to release it. Sliding closer so that the length of their arms brushed as they walked

"I would never leave you Sol, not before and it is not a possibility now,"

The rest of the walk proceeded in a comfortable silence of people who did not need words to express their love.

As they left the bustling streets behind both men became more attentive.

Solomon stilled just as Haji did, the whooping call of a chiropteran echoed beneath the range of human hearing and Solomon could all but feel his mate's body hum with the excitement of the hunt. This was what they had been looking for tonight after the news of torn bodies and monsters had reached their ears soon upon their arrival.

Haji glanced along the deserted street in front of the high school before spinning to Solomon pressing their bodies close.

Solomon's smirk turned predatory as he rested his hands on the others hips, listening intently.

"Almost," Haji whispered voice so low that had it not been for their close proximity even Solomon's enhanced hearing would have missed it.

The sound of crackling branches directly above them had Solomon biting back a warning growl. The metallic scent of old blood rafted through the air and he could see the reflection of inhuman red eyes in the gleam of the pendant around Haji's neck.

Quirking a brow in question he stepped back at Haji's nod. The movement drew the predator's attention and it leapt from the tree rancid breathe burning Haji's nose as it swung towards him.

Smiling innocently at the creature, he raised his left hand to his lips, running it softly across his tongue he felt more than saw the familiar transformation, bones shifting and elongating as the skin pulled away from extended black claws. The chiroptera seemed to have finally recognized that the human it had cornered was not ordinary and swung back towards Solomon in the hopes of finding easier prey.

The blond observed it impassively "Haji it seems your little friend does not wish to play with you any longer," he taunted

Haji vaulted the creature in a single leap turning to Solomon with an exaggerated frown "And I thought we would have found some fun," he complained, before stepping forward to dispatch the creature with his usual ease.

A faint whimper drew the chiroptera's gaze, there backing away from the fallen body of what appeared to be a teacher was Saya, eyes wide with horror as she caught sight of the creature before her.

The creature made a curious grunting sound before obviously deciding that the girl was its best chance at a meal. Snarling it flung itself across the space between them, Saya whirled and ran into the school just as Haji swung his cello case with effortless ease, the coffin as Solomon liked to call it impacted heavily and the chiroptera was thrown head over feet, but as soon as it righted itself it was off again, ambling up the steps and into the deserted school with Haji following closely behind it.

Solomon drew a hand through his blond hair and sighed. Haji was more than capable of handling a single chiroptera but with the added distraction of protecting Saya, as he was sure his mate would, he wasn't about to take any risks.

Following the smells and sounds of fighting, Solomon entered what appeared to be a laboratory of sorts, just in time to watch Haji tear the chiroptera's head from its neck. Smiling as he watched his mate bloody and excited Solomon froze at a movement from the corner of the room, Saya erupted from beneath what appeared to have been rubble swinging a knife and before Solomon could warn his love he watched as the blade embedded itself in Haji's clawed hand. The hiss the pain caused had the other chevalier seeing red, he had not let Diva hurt Haji anymore than he could have and he would be damned if he would stand aside and let it happen now!

Slamming the girl's now limp body into the wall he snarled in her face, he could feel the bones shifting beneath his skin but his anger was so immense he didn't think on controlling his form until a hand touched his face softly.

"I am fine Sol," Haji whispered bringing the injured appendage to Solomon's lips and waiting patiently as the other used his free hand and lips to clean away the blood so he could check the wound.

Releasing the hold he had on Saya Solomon pulled Haji to him, crushing their lips together in a show of possession before mapping the dark cavern of his mate's mouth. Haji melted into the other knowing that Solomon needed this. Raising his head Solomon glared at Saya "Mine!" he snarled
