So here is the next chapter. I must apologize for taking so long with it; I was swamped with school work, so yeah. Any who, here ya go. Please enjoy and keep reviewing.

Kanou opened his eyes to the shinning gold halo of color. The package on his chest was making light snoring sounds and equally soft murmurs in his sleep. The morning sun played in the young boy's hair; dancing, and spinning, seeming to make a beautiful glow erupt from the form. Kanou sighed, happy that he was able to rest peacefully for a night since Ayase had gotten placed in the hospital.

"Ka…nou-San." The uke dreamed peacefully, a slight smile spread across his face. Kanou watched in the boy in awe, the first time in a long time since he had been able to watch his lover sleep peacefully. Kanou's heart shuddered, his chest tightening ever-so-slightly. He was even further amazed when Ayase strengthened his grip on his Kanou's shirt, his brows furrowing gently while he mumbled something unintelligible. Kanou chuckled softly, his chest jumping with each suppressed sound. Ayase stirred.

In his dream, Ayase held hands with someone, skipping merrily up a hill covered in green grass and spotted with flowers to…fetch a pail of water... His skipping slowed as he glanced ahead confusedly. He looked over at his hand then looked up to find Kanou grinning hugely at him. Ayase was taken back.

"Ah….Ano, Kanou-San? Why do you look like that?" Ayase questioned the hopping male beside him, wondering why in the world Kanou would have a reason to smile like that. Truthfully, it imperceptibly scared him, knowing that Kanou had never looked like that before…Unless he was about to happily murder someone.

"Look like what? We're going to fetch some wa-" Kanou began but was cut off when he tripped on something and fell backward. "Wah!" He yelled and flailed his arms comically, still smiling. Ayase jumped and wondered again why Kanou was still smiling like a mad idiot.

As Kanou fell backward, his hold on Ayase had not relinquished and the poor boy was undoubtedly pulled back as well. Kanou's hand was suddenly pulled out of Ayase's and he rolled all the way to the bottom of the hill, landing on his face. Ayase let out a squeak as he fought to regain his balance. While swinging his arms, Kanou stood from the dusty ground and looked back up at him, ginning wildly once more while a stream of blood found its' way down Kanou's face. Ayase was shocked, worried that Kanou had gotten injured.

"Look, Ayase, I broke my crown!" Kanou shouted up at him, pointing to the blood on his forehead… Still smiling… That did it.

"Ah!" Ayase yelped as he lost his balance again and sprung forward. His legs went up over his head and the world tilted sideways and diagonal a couple times.

'And now I'm tumbling after…' He thought to his self. No sooner had he thought this when he landed on his butt at the bottom of the hill. As he opened his eyes, he found the world was still tipping and turning.

"Itai..." He said while rubbing his shoulder where it had hit a rock on the way down. He looked up at Kanou, only to find him dressed in old fancy clothing astride a white noble steed. Behind him were many others dressed in armor, two of which he recognized to be the Kuba brothers.

"Ayase?" Kanou called gently to his lover. Ayase's eyes were closed tightly, a look of confusion on his sleeping face. His eyebrows were still knit together and he was talking in his sleep again.

"Nng. I don't…like…pales of water…" It was the only response Kanou received before Ayase tried to shift in his sleep. Kanou snorted and continued to watch the play Ayase was putting on for him.

Ayase looked behind himself and his heart skipped a couple beats. The hill was gone and the ground gave way to a cobblestoned street. A long wall about six and a half feel tall followed the left side of the long street. It stretched from one end all the way to the other end of the lengthy street.

In the wall, there were lots of smaller holes in the wall, some with little gates and some without. Behind the wall there was a valley, filled with houses of all kinds. On the opposite side of the wall, there was a hill that was spotted different gardens, each with their own design.

Ayase looked up again at Kanou. When he realized he was looking intently down the road, Ayase decided that something was going to be happening very soon. He spotted, sitting on the wall, a person with bleached blonde hair, who could only be person. Gion.

"Gion-San, isn't that a little dangerous?" Ayase called out to him, hoping that maybe he would decide to get off the wall. Absolutely not. He was not normal. This Gion was all depressed looking and dark. He was wearing black and his hair was spiked. Multiple chains hug from his pants and shirt, but what shocked Ayase the most was the many piercings adorning his face. His lips his ears, his eyebrows, his tongue, and even his cheek was pierced. He looked over to Ayase and glared; irritated that someone was telling him what to do.

"Kanou-San? Why is Gion…?" He trailed off, forgetting that the Kanou had turned into a bit of a nut-case. Suddenly, he heard a yell, but when he looked over to Gion, he found that he had fallen off of the wall.

He lay on the ground, bent and broken apart. There was no blood, only missing pieces. Gion was shattered like a mirror. Ayase gasped and did a double take. He started walking very slowly toward the scene.

Kanou and everyone else on horses rushed forward, and circled around Gion, then one by one, dismounted their horses. They each tried to put him back together again, but Gion just didn't fit the way he was supposed to.

"All my horses, and all my men, can't put Gion back together again!" He recited, rather seriously. Ayase shuddered, closing his eyes for a moment. But when he reopened them…The scenery had changed again.

He was standing to the side of a grassy glen; in the middle was a stump. Sitting on the stump was one who could only be recognized as Someya. Ayase sighed again, quite tired of changing sceneries and having everyone be different from whom they actually were.

In her hands, Someya held a bowl full of some kind of milk products. It mostly looked like cottage cheese and something else, but Ayase couldn't tell what.

"S-Someya-San?" Ayase spoke to her. She turned around instantly and looked at Ayase with disgust. She stood up and walked over to a stunned Ayase. He shrunk back as she stepped forward.

"It's Miss Muffet, thank you very much! And these here are my curds and whey. And why on earth are you in my glen?" She asked Ayase with a skeptical glance, flipping her dark hair. When he opened his mouth to say why, she silenced him with a wave of her hand. "Oh, don't even think about answering, because I myself already know the answer; you are here to rob me of my precious stump. Well I am here to tell you that I will not move from that stump until you leave." She walked back to the stump and sat down heavily, refusing to take her eyes off of Ayase.

Unbeknownst to them, Kanou, dressed as a spider for some odd reason, looked down at them from in the trees. He was eyeing the okama, planning to scare it off, and his devious plot began forming. He smirked darkly. He decided that he had another plan involving the blonde boy too.

"See I am not moving-" Someya began before something dropped out of the trees and landed right next to her. She looked over at Kanou and stared, stunned, for one moment. In an instant, she dropped her bowl full of curds and whey and ran away screaming into the forest. He then began taking off the spider costume and ended up in his usual business wear. He eyed Ayase. Ayase sighed, aghast at Kanou's behavior.

"Kanou-San that wasn't very nice, you know. Someya had-" Ayase trailed off, backing away slowly from the threat that began walking toward him with a very suspicious smirk on his face. Ayase felt a stab of fear crawl up his spine and he knew the spiders' intentions. A million different scenarios to fend Kanou off went through Ayase's head, and only one stuck with him; run away.

Ayase turned and began running. He ran past the stump, past Kanou and was almost into the forest when he began hearing the chuckles.

"All right, little squirrel. I'm going to give you one minute to run away and then I am coming to hunt you down." He laughed and sat on the stump, watching the small boy run away, his golden hair being bathed in the sun. The sun was directly overhead, making the glen full of light, but the forest was completely dark.

Ayase ran as hard and as fast as he could, hoping to get away from Kanou. For some reason, he knew that if he didn't, he would be ravished.

He spotted a tree with a hallow in the base, slightly bigger than he was. He ran over to it and crawled in praying that Kanou would not find him, but for some reason, he felt as though he had already been found. Ayase sat down, confused. He brought his knees up to his chest and wrapped his arms around them, then laid his head on his knees. Closing his eyes, he strained to hear every movement in around him. He swore that his rapid heart beat could be heard throughout the entire forest, but deemed it logically impossible.

Then he heard it. It was slight, he might have even imagined it, but he though he heard a bush rustling right next to where he was hidden. He closed his eyes tighter, wishing away whoever or whatever it was that was from beside the tree. Ayase fought to keep his breath8ing even, but felt it build to a slight pant after a while. He bit his lip as a funny feeling came over him; a certain sleepiness that told him to just go to sleep. Ayase was tempted, and was almost asleep, but then he heard it again.

"Are you sleepy, little squirrel?" A deep voice smirked above him. Ayase wondered, shocked even, at how he didn't notice that he was hiding in a short stump. Ayase kicked himself. Kanou stood over him; grinning.

Kanou reached down and grabbed the blonde boy, hoisting him over his shoulder. Ayase objected, squirming as Kanou walked back toward the brightly lit glen.

"Kanou-San put me down, please! This isn't right! Kanou-San!" He protested. Kanou grunted and set Ayase down against a tree on the edge of the forest, making it dark still.

"Thank you." Ayase sighed, and then gasped as Kanou kneeled before him and kissed his inner thigh. "W-what are you-nnn…" Ayase moaned as Kanou slowly made his way to Ayase's member. A blush crept over Ayase's face. Ayase's legs shook, Kanou's ministrations rendering them unable to carry Ayase upright. "Ha…Ah…N-no Kanou-Saahhnnn." It was hot. Ayase felt the temperature rise in his body and still rise further as Kanou continued.

"Ayase, you're hard. I've hardly even touched you. It's quite erotic." Kanou purred. Ayase twitched, his knees buckling. "And now, you look like this. It's a turn on, you being so sensitive." He said, catching Ayase and holding the limp boy to him. A light sheen of sweat graced his body. Ayase was lost in Kanou's masculine scent.

Kanou watched Ayase still, waiting for him to awake from his deep sleep. The boy was squirming, but not enough to cause concern for his stitches. As Kanou observed he noticed the deep blush across his features and how his steady breathing quickly turned to ragged panting.

"Nnnoo. K-Kanou-Sannn…Nnngha." Ayase let a drawn out whimper out, surprising Kanou. As Ayase was moaning his name in his sleep, Kanou found himself getting aroused instantly. He almost instantly realized it as well. The small erection was poking him in the lower abdomen. Kanou felt himself go rock hard, the material on his pants restraining his arousal tightly. He began to ache and hurt profusely from lack of release and yearning for his lover's body. Kanou groaned.

"Ayase." Kanou whispered huskily. As he looked down to his lover, he saw Ayase's nipples were hardened. Ayase was positioned slightly on his side, slightly on his stomach, allowing Kanou to see part of Ayase's erection, poking at his pants, a wet spot beginning to form on the spot it was straining against.

Kanou reached down and gently brushed his fingertips against Ayase's member, causing the boy to twitch and take on a helpless look in his sleep. Kanou hesitated, wondering if he should wait until the boy was better, but decided that he had waited long enough, then slipped his hand underneath Ayase's pale yellow hospital pants and gripped the smaller length. An audible outward gasp sounded from the boy, beads of sweat appearing on his body. Kanou began pumping Ayase, loving the sounds he was pulling from the boy.

"Hnnng! No!" Ayase begged Kanou, his slight back pressed against Kanou's chest. Kanou was sitting crisscross, his back against a dark tree trunk. Ayase was on his knees, his legs on either side of Kanou, facing away from him. The position was perfect for Kanou, really; he was able to comfortably ravish the boy in his lap without running into any obstacles.

Kanou's arms went over Ayase's and kept them from stopping him and his massages on the poor boy. Ayase hung onto Kanou's forearms tightly, afraid that if he let go, he'd fall into oblivion.

Kanou traced light patterns on the outside of the scant clothing Ayase now wore. His shirt had been discarded onto the bare ground next to them; his pale chest glimmered in the moonlight like a flame in a pitch dark room. Kanou greedily reached underneath the lose pants the boy wore and sketched random designs on the underside of his length. Ayase drove his hips forward, gasping. Kanou teased him, enjoying the sweet whimpers being drawn forth from the boys' mouth

"Please!" Ayase gasped, his eyes tearing up in ecstasy. "No more!" He begged, falling against Kanou's body. Ayase couldn't tell if he really wanted Kanou to stop or not. All he could feel was the pleasure seeming to erupt from Kanou's touch.

Kanou's pace only got faster and rougher, causing delicate shudders to go through the petite blonde. Ayase's head was thrown back and held fast against Kanou's shoulder. Ayase's tears spilled, a deep red flushing his features.

"Mmmnng…Ah!" Ayase let sobs of pleasure escape his throat as Kanou gently bit his earlobe and then his neck.

Ayase's body began to quiver and become all the more sensitive. The older man smirked as he felt his love climb every-closer to his climax. Kanou pumped his faster, his hand sliding sleekly over his length from the precum Ayase had bashfully released. Ayase could feel it coming on; the tension coiled tight in his belly, twitching at the slightest touch and the need to be touched everywhere. He wanted to be touched by Kanou. Just one touch is all he needed until he was sure he would release the tension.

"Kanou-San…Nnnn." Ayase arched his back, his shaft pressing tight against Kanous hand. Ayase relaxed back into Kanou's embrace shortly after, his need still not satisfied. Kanou continued his pumping Ayase, his strokes getting even more ragged.

Ayase gasped as he felt Kanou close his mouth on the back of his neck, just under his hairline. Ayase breathed in sharply as the sensual feeling of Kanous lips closing over the back of his neck shot a particularly vicious stream of pleasure to his member.

"K-Kanou…Sa- Nnaaha." Ayase moaned, violent spasms wracking his body as the tight coils in his belly released at full force. He spilled the contents of himself over Kanou's hand. His vision turned white. He feinted against the solid body behind him.

He floated for a while; seemingly weightless, drifting through what seemed to be a fluffy whiteness filled with bliss. When he realized his vision returned, he found himself lying on something, his body sticky and moist. He looked up groggily, only to find a very aroused Kanou, his erection poking him in the thigh. Kanou simply looked at him and licked the length of one of his fingers. He smirked at the confused look on Ayase's face.

It was like the sun breaking over mountains in the morning when Ayase realized what Kanou was smirking at. As he shifted his tired body, he felt the wetness in his pants that had also somehow ended up on part of his stomach as well. He finally understood what had happened and he blushed deeply, his embarrassment flushing even down to his petite chest. Tears sprung to his eyes and he simply stared at Kanou.

"Kanou-San…I didn't- I-I mean that was- No I mean-" Ayase started, stuttering the cute way he usually did.

"Ayase." Kanou cut off his eyes burning with curiosity. "What were you dreaming of?" The question caught Ayase completely off guard and he stopped looking at Kanou with his innocently confused face.

"I-I um….How did you know had a dream?" Ayase demanded, wiping away any tears left behind steeling himself. Kanou cocked an eyebrow at him.

"You were talking. And moaning." He said causing Ayase to look down, his eyes widening.

"It was about nursery rhymes…" He said absently, trying to fake his way out. Of all the ways to get out of the predicament he was currently in only one stuck with him. However, that would probably change the subject drastically. Just what he needed. He jumped at his chance even though he knew, quite well in fact, how bad the outcome could be. But he didn't care; he just wanted to get the subject off of his dream. He sat up carefully, grudgingly aware of the state of his cloths. He never thought that he could be so bold with Kanou. But that was for another time, to be self-conscious, that is.

"Kanou-San…Ohaio-gozaimas." He leaned forward, and very gingerly brushed his lips against Kanou's. He stayed frozen in the movement for exactly five seconds, he counted, and then swiftly, but fastidiously extracted himself from Kanou and moved to sit on the side of the bed. The older man was dazzled, completely ambushed with more surprise then even the dream his young lover had just previously dreamt.

"I…I need to go and, um, clean up. I'll be right back." The boy said and tried to remove himself from the bed.

"Ayase, can you handle that?" Kanou looked onto his lover with an unsubstantial look. "Are you even able to walk?" Kanou moved to the edge of the bed and sat beside a still-red Ayase.

"I've been walking enough. I can do it." Ayase stated, determined to make it to the shower through the door just on the other side of the room. He motioned to stand, and hesitated. Still recovering from being in bed for weeks, he felt his legs strain as he tried once again to stand. With a little grunt he stood, trembling for a moment then almost collapsed to the floor if Kanou hadn't caught him.

"Are you willing to let me assist you now?" Kanou chuckled and stood as well, then picked up Ayase, conscience of the stitches on his back. As he carried the slight boy, the door to the room opened and in stepped Yuna.

"Kanou. Ayase. Good morning." She sang a little too happily for Kanou's liking. She was plotting something.

"Goo morning, Yuna-San." The petite blonde said.

"We're going to take a shower. Excuse us." Kanou said curtly and turned from her and opened the door to the bathroom with one swift motion.

"Yeah, yeah. I want to meet you in the food court in the main building for breakfast. We have things to discuss. Please do be down there in an hour and a half." With that, she turned and left the room. The two lovers looked at each other, and then continued on into the bathroom.

As they took their shower, Kanou noticed that the bruised looking spots on Ayase's back had all turned yellow, or had ceased to exist completely. He brushed a finger delicately against the wound, frowning. He was going to beat the crap out of the guys again if he got another chance. Beating them to near death hadn't been satisfying enough. Ayase shivered. They finished up and dressed themselves.

Both just sat aimlessly around until it was time for Yunas 'meeting'.

"Ready?" Kanou looked down to the boy in his arms who nodded. "Well then, let's go." He stepped quietly through the door and shut it behind him with a soft, but audible click.

Well, there ya go, hope you enjoyed. ^_^ I hope to make the next chapter of him getting his stitches removed, so be expecting it.

Jah, neh.
