Chapter 6
The brush stopped as the sentence was left unfinished, Zangetsu frowning.
He had grown bored of studying like this, in a closed off room by himself. He put his brush in the ink and stood up, walking to the window. He was 56 in cat years, though it was only ten in human years. He was an adult yet he was treated like a child.
He rested his hands on the windowsill and sighed, looking to a blossoming sakura tree. The wind blew and a leaf was plucked, Zangetsu watching it's descent to the ground. But it never reached it.
The weak though beautiful petal was caught by a large, dirty clawed hand, Zangetsu looking up to the face that owned such hands.
His breath was caught in his throat when his eyes locked with electrifying blue, humor and lust shining in those eyes. Zangetsu felt shameful when his groin stirred at the sight of the man, taking in all there was to him.
His long, beautiful blue hair that moved with the whispers of the wind, his tan blemish free skin, his white armor and fanged smirk.
Zangetsu's cheeks heated with a blush when the man blew him a kiss, the kiss going straight to his aching groin.
He did not recognize him but his army attire told many stories, Zangetsu frowning as he turned away, walking back to his studies. He picked up his brush and was about to continue writing when something smooth slid down his neck, Zangetsu quick to grab it.
He opened his palm and saw the blossom petal, his eyes widening just slightly. He got up and went back to the window but the man was gone.
Zangetsu sighed and went back to his studies but concentration proved difficult to find.
He sighed and abandoned them for now, getting up and leaving the room. He decided to venture throughout the palace.
For the next several days he stopped whenever there was a window to look out of, hoping he would see the blue haired man again.
He started to lose hope on the eighth day, a frown dousing his hope.
"Prince Zangetsu," he heard Ori call, turning around.
His breath was taken away.
The blue haired man stood next to him, that fanged smirk on his lips as his eyes traveled down his body, Zangetsu withholding a shiver as his eyes traveled to Ori, the bald man giving him a warm smile as he rose from his bow.
"I know you must be busy your majesty, but I would like to introduce you to someone," Ori told him, his grey eyes holding pride as he gestured to the blue haired man who bowed, Zangetsu feeling as if his legs were stone, bowing back but not as deeply.
"This is Adjuchas Panthera, the new General of our army," Ori told him, Zangetsu trying not to seem affected when Adjuchas stood, that same humorous lustful glint set in his eyes, looking back to Ori.
"I am afraid Yasutora and Uryuu have left on business in your place, so till their return, Adjuchas shall watch you," Ori informed, Zangetsu looking back to Adjuchas, swallowing faintly.
Adjuchas grinned.
"I understand Ori, thank you," Zangetsu told him, Ori looking over his shoulder when he was called by a fellow Noble.
"I trust you will take good care of him?" Ori asked, Adjuchas's grin falling as he put on a serious frown.
"Yes Ori-sama," he promised with a bow, Ori smiling before leaving, Zangetsu turning away from Adjuchas.
"I am going to my room, you may stand outside the door," Zangetsu told him, Adjuchas straightening.
"Yes your majesty," he replied, Zangetsu unable to hold back his shiver when he felt his eyes travel down his body.
He walked with steady, authoritative steps to his bed chambers, the presence of Adjuchas just behind him making him slightly uneasy.
He stopped at his room and opened the shoji, not daring to glance at Adjuchas as he entered, closing the shoji behind him.
His heart pounded as he walked to his futon, sitting down as he put a hand to his chest.
It hurt to breath as long as he was near, Zangetsu panting as he laid down, shivering from the experience.
He felt as if he had been touched by him, his body aching as he stood. He walked to his washtub and sat down on the bench, untying his obi. He dropped his obi to the floor as he walked to the fountain from where he would get the water, picking up the bucket next to it.
He froze when he heard the shoji was opened, closing his kimono and putting down the bucket as he went over to see who had entered.
When he saw Adjuchas he frowned, standing taller even though Adjuchas towered over him.
"I had ordered for you to stay outside, not intrude," he told him, Adjuchas looking to him, his eyes traveling down the path where his chest was able to be seen.
Zangetsu swallowed, trying not to be affected by his gaze.
"Ori told me to enter with you, he fears someone could harm you if you are alone," Adjuchas told him, Zangetsu sighing as he turned and retrieved his obi.
"He worries too much. I am old enough to-" Zangetsu lost his breath when he turned and came face to face with Adjuchas, his obi held loosely in his hand.
"Are you really old enough?" Adjuchas asked, grabbing his obi and pulling it slowly from his fingers.
Zangetsu was at lost for words as his obi fell to the floor, his hand loosening on his kimono.
"You shouldn't be so close to me," Zangetsu whispered as Adjuchas pried his fingers from his kimono with little effort, his kimono falling open and exposing his body to his eyes, his fundoshi concealing his most sacred of places.
"Why?" Adjuchas asked with a grin as his fingers slipped into his fundoshi, Zangetsu grabbing the washtub behind him with a gasp, his head falling back.
"They'll execute you," he whispered as Adjuchas pushed his fundoshi down his thighs, his finger slipping into his most sacred of areas. Zangetsu's eyes snapped open as it slid deep, his thighs shaking as he choked on a gasp, outstretching his hand and pressing it to Adjuchas's shoulder, his mouth falling open as he gasped.
"You don't seem to be putting up much of a fight to begin with," Adjuchas purred as he pulled his finger out to the first knuckle then pushed it back in, Zangetsu gritting his teeth.
He knew he should push him away but already he felt addicted, panting as he pushed in another finger.
It hurt but the pain was drowned out by his desire and want, his kimono sliding down his arms as he hardened.
"You shouldn't be-" Zangetsu tried to protest, gasping when he pushed his fingers and touched a place Zangetsu himself had only touched once, his chest arching as he came onto his stomach with a mewl.
Adjuchas pulled his fingers out, his grin wide as Zangetsu shook, his cum the same color as his skin, Adjuchas grinning as he backed away, Zangetsu opened his eyes and looked to him.
"Why did you do that?" Zangetsu whispered, his cheeks heating up as he pulled up his fundoshi and turned around, feeling embarrassed he had released so quickly.
"You enjoyed it didn't you?" Adjuchas asked as Zangetsu closed his kimono, turning back around, his eyes uncertain as he pushed past him.
"You will get executed without mercy for touching me," he told him as he walked to his clothes chest, opening it as he sank to his knees, looking for a suitable kimono to replace the ruined one he wore.
He would have to burn it so no one got suspicious.
"I am the Prince, you shouldn't be doing such things to me," he said as he stood, freezing when he felt a warm tongue slid up his neck.
"Silence your majesty," Adjuchas husked against his skin, Zangetsu shivering as his hand slipped around him, palming him through his fundoshi.
Zangetsu put a hand over his mouth as he began to rub him, his body feeling hot.
He grabbed his wrist but couldn't find the strength to remove it, closing his eyes as he hardened under his treatment.
"Adju-" he gasped before pulling away, sitting on his chest as he panted, raising his hand when Adjuchas stood.
His kimono lay open as he put the back of his hand to his mouth, his body aching as his mind swirled with thoughts.
"What are you doing?" he asked in heavy pants, closing his legs when he noticed where Adjuchas was staring, his cheeks heating up.
"You shouldn't be touching me, its forbidden," he told him, Adjuchas's frown not leaving his lips.
"And?" he asked, Zangetsu growling as he stood.
"All because you can give birth doesn't make you a god."
Zangetsu blinked in shock as he stared up at Adjuchas whose eyes were narrowed in displeasure, Zangetsu biting his lip as he looked to the floor.
He was the first person to tell him that, and in a weird way his words made him feel relieved, like so many things were taken off his shoulders.
He was the first person to believe he wasn't different.
"Please, leave my chambers," Zangetsu whispered, Adjuchas not moving.
Tears built up in his eyes as he turned away from him, placing his hands on his chest as he tried to hold them back.
He felt normal but now he also felt vulnerable, stiffening when Adjuchas touched a hand to his backside, looking over his shoulder to him, his hair falling over his eye.
"I thought I told you to leave," he whispered in a shaky voice, gasping when Adjuchas lifted his kimono, Zangetsu powerless as he pulled down his fundoshi.
He felt almost what some would call human as Adjuchas ran a finger up the crease of his cheeks, pressing his finger in.
Zangetsu's knees locked together as he tried to hold himself up, his head falling as he grit his teeth.
"Stop," he whispered as he pushed his finger deeper, his body shaking in need as his claws extended.
"Forgive me your majesty, but that is an order I cannot fulfil," Adjuchas answered, Zangetsu gasping when he brushed over his sweet spot deep inside, Adjuchas putting an arm under his stomach to hold him up when he almost fell, his body weak with lust and desire.
"Let it out," Adjuchas whispered as Zangetsu began to sob, Zangetsu putting a hand over his mouth so he wouldn't be heard.
"I'll make you burn, deep inside," Adjuchas husked out as he added another finger, Zangetsu shaking his head, releasing a gasping sob as he put his hand back on the chest, his body hot as his cock bobbed with each push of Adjuchas's fingers into his body, his body shaking as he felt his energy was being slowly drained from him, crying out as he came, his vision flashing white.
Adjuchas waited till he finished before removing his fingers, picking him up.
Zangetsu shook in his arms as he sobbed into his chest, Adjuchas's expression stoic as he laid him down in the washtub, removing his kimono.
He said nothing as he got the water from the fountain, pouring it onto Zangetsu's chest to remove the drying cum then continued to pour till the tub was halfway full.
Zangetsu shivered and sat up, holding his legs to his chest as he looked up to Adjuchas whose expression made him feel only the desire for more.
He was torn between two choices as Adjuchas stripped in front of him, the oval wash tub big enough for three.
"Relax, I will not take you," Adjuchas told him as he stepped in, Zangetsu looking to his erect member, his mouth watering at the sight though he looked away.
"Come here," Adjuchas ordered as he sat down in the tub, Zangetsu reluctant.
"Come," Adjuchas ordered more loudly, Zangetsu flinching as he hesitantly moved to him.
"Why are you shaking?" Adjuchas asked as he scrubbed him down, Zangetsu unsure if he should tell him it was his desire for more, pressing a tad closer to him.
He felt too hot as he rose up and connected their lips, hesitantly opening his mouth.
When Adjuchas slid his tongue into his mouth he shivered, sliding onto his lap as he pressed his own erect member against his.
Adjuchas's eyebrow went up, the washcloth falling from his hand.
Though he wanted to they never went beyond that kiss, Adjuchas finishing cleaning him and leaving him to dress in a kimono he picked, standing by the shoji inside, Zangetsu quiet as he laid down for a quick nap.
He was confused.
