Chapter 5

Marriage Ends

Mitsuru's Room

Mitsuru sits up and looks at the only man to ever share his bed. "Tell me what has happened, Tatsumaru. Please, I need to know everything," Mitsuru said. Tatsumaru stifles a sob as he looks at Mitsuru.

"Every once in awhile I go away to visit my brothers: Jinn, Rikimaru, and Inumaru, as well as my sons: Sumaru and Yutaka. You do remember the last time that I went I told you I was going away…right?"

"I remember you saying that. Do please continue."

"When I returned to Heaven, I had expected Rose to be waiting for me. Only she was not in the Council Room…"

"What do you mean, Tatsu?"

"Since she was not in the Council Room, I went to her room to tell her that I had returned and I learned that she was not alone."

"Did you open the door?" Mitsuru asked. Tatsumaru's anger begins to build.

"I did not have to open the door in order to realize she was not alone in her room."

"Who do you think was with her?" Mitsuru asked. Tatsumaru tries to suppress his anger.

"I do not have to think to know who was with her."

"Well, who was with her then?"

"Ryuzaki Mitsuharu was with her and they were having full-fledged sex."

"Are you sure that you were not imagining things?"

"I know what sex sounds like, Mitsuru!" Mitsuru flinches at Tatsumaru's sudden burst of anger.

He must have been holding his anger in for a long time now… Mitsuru thought. Tatsumaru's head is bowed low. Mitsuru pats Tatsumaru's back. "What is going to happen now, Tatsu?"

"Rose filed for a divorce through Solomon a few months ago."

"When is the court date?"

"Noon tomorrow is the court date. However, that is not the only thing…"

"What else can there be?"

"Ryuzaki has gotten her pregnant. When I saw her yesterday, it seemed like she no longer knew who I was or of the many years of marriage that we once shared," Tatsumaru said sadly as he looks down. Mitsuru looks slightly uneasy as he watches Tatsumaru. He moves closer to him and holds his face in his hands. Slowly, Mitsuru kisses Tatsumaru passionately on the lips. He then eases him in a lying down position on his stomach. Carefully, he eases himself into Tatsumaru and begins thrusting immediately. Tatsumaru moans in delight as he feels Mitsuru ejaculate into him again.

"How does that feel?" Mitsuru asked.

"It feels heavenly…" Mitsuru continues thrusting finally enjoying himself with the hopes of having a lasting relationship.

Sicily, Italy

Outside Mitsuru's

Apartment Building

Shun and Weiss are standing not far from the building that Mitsuru lives in. Weiss looks at Shun rather lost. There is a questioning look on his face. "What is wrong, Shun? We were requested to bring Tatsumaru to Lord Solomon," Weiss said.

"I know that, Weiss, however, there is a slight problem…" Shun said.

"And that is what exactly?"

"They are being intimate…"

"At a time like this, why would they do something like that?" Shun's voice has an offhanded tone to it.

"Tatsumaru is in pain. Mitsuru can feel that pain. He knows what awaits Tatsumaru in Heaven tomorrow. At least he partially knows what awaits Tatsumaru in Heaven tomorrow. In addition, he wants to make him feel somewhat better if he can."

"But Mitsuru cannot touch anyone with the palms of his hands. Lord Solomon made that virtually impossible."

"Virtually impossible yes but not improbable. You just need to know one of two aspects to negate Mitsuru's powers."

"One just needs kindness or especially crafted gloves."

"Kikaku gave him the gloves. However, Tatsumaru taught him kindness. He now knows how to control his powers when he is with someone that he holds dear."

"I never took Mitsuru for the gay type," Weiss said smugly.

"Neither did I. then again my brother hides everything about himself from those around him. He never trusted himself around anyone again after our mother's premature death."

"Talk about treating yourself harshly."

"That is another reason why he would never tell anyone that he was gifted by Eiri Nakanishii," the Wind God said. Shun feels something like an electrical current ignite the air. He snaps his attention back towards the apartment. Weiss follows the Wind God's gaze, his own eyes wide. "And so it begins…"

"This surely cannot bode well for either of them…"

"No, it will not bode anyone any good in the end…" Shun said in a low voice.
