"What can you do against the three of us?" Gaius asked. His question was a genuine one, not out of cockiness.
"I guess you'll find out soon enough." Came Byakuran's simple response.
The trio was not going to hesitate in their attacks against Byakuran. In fact, they wouldn't be giving the white haired man an opening. Constantine held off on using any of his water based attacks, while Gaius and Lucius used a combination of lightning and fire to hit the Millefiore boss with. Byakuran negated the combination attack with an effortless clap of his hands. He was showing them his powers that they did not know about the first time around.
"How can we beat him when he can cancel out everything we throw at him?" Lucius whispered his concern to Constantine.
"Catching him off guard would probably be the best way to go." Constantine suggested.
"You three are not ending this sooner than I would have hoped." Orcus was clearly losing patience.
The roots from the white haired man's back were breaching through the hard cold floor. The trio had no idea what was going on or what the roots could signify. In all honesty they were becoming uneasy. A small gray light was casting shadows in Byakuran's cupped hands. It was more effective to slowly build up The Black Flame.
'What am I doing? Am I waiting for an invitation? I can extinguish that measly Flame before it has the chance to grow bigger.', Constantine thought to himself.
Constantine was ready to throw his water at the Millefiore boss. The nice plus to his water techniques was that the water cut into his opponent's flesh like a razor blade. Mukuro dragged himself in front of his lover to prevent any attacks considering Orcus still wanted him alive. Constantine backed down knowing the same fact about the blue haired man.
"Boss, we need permission to hurt your plaything if you intend for us to wipe the rest of them out!" Gaius yelled up the stairs.
It was actually a tough decision for the brown haired man to make. He knew they would probably wind up dead were he to deny Gaius' request. However, he did not want a single mark on the Illusionist's body until he got his own hands on him. Maybe he could strike some kind of deal with the enemy when the trio became defeated. The only real problem he faced was how to go about getting them to agree on letting him keep the Vongola Mist Guardian for himself.
"An answer today would be nice."
"Don't get snippy with me, Gaius. For that matter, request denied. Do not harm a single hair on Mukuro Rokudo's head." Orcus made his final choice.
While they bickered amongst themselves, Byakuran's Black Flame grew twice the size it was originally. Its color got darker from its growth too. The Black Flame started out as a light gray, and grew into a dark gray. Soon the Flame would live up to its name, becoming a midnight black.
"Did you hurt yourself getting over here?" Byakuran asked out of concern for his lover.
"We can worry about the condition of my legs later." Mukuro said.
"Please, spare us, and go after our boss! He's the one that did things to the Vongola Mist Guardian!" Lucius insisted.
"When you've been reduced to pleading it's obvious that you do not deserved to have your life spared." Ghost stated his opinion.
"That's a very good point. Plus, your time is about up anyways." The white haired man had a devilish smile on his face.
The Flame was changing to a midnight black. Its size was that of a bowling ball resting in the Millefiore boss' hands. He pulled both arms back, and then pushed to force The Black Flame from his hands. The Flame engulfed the trio, obliterating them. They surely were not built like his own guardians since Kikyo survived the very same attack. The only difference was that the scale of the Flame was much larger now than it had been then. Then again, the Millefiore Cloud Guardian also received a thorough beating beforehand, unlike the trio. Their cries filled the underground confinement area until there was nothing left of them.
The sudden silence was overwhelming for the Bloody Syndicate boss. He knew that more than anything he should be fearing for his own life. There was no longer anything standing in the white haired man's way to take him out. He took a few slow steps away from the entrance leading down the stairs. Orcus tried to move as quietly as possible, but he managed to step on one creaky spot on the floor boards. He swore that the sound echoed throughout the entire base.
The sound of flapping wings started at the base of the stairs, and got closer with every millisecond. At that point, the brown haired man froze from the fear he felt. Strong hands wrapped around his neck, and squeezed. Orcus brought his own hands up to claw at the ones restricting him from breathing. He left slight marks in Byakuran's skin, but no real damage was done.
The Millefiore boss could have snapped the man's neck whenever he wanted to. It would have ended everything a lot quicker. On the contrary, he decided to make Orcus suffer a long agonizing death. The grip he had on the brown haired man's neck slowly got tighter and tighter. It took several minutes for the Bloody Syndicate boss to fall limp in Byakuran's hands. Afterwards, the Millefiore boss let his dead body drop to the floor.
Before the blue haired man passed out from exhaustion he realized that he no longer held a grudge against the Millefiore Cloud Guardian. In the meantime, he could care less where he ended up once he was awake. Byakuran descended the stairs to take his lover in his arms. Kikyo continued to use Ghost as a support when walking. Torikabuto was in front leading them to the outside of the base. They would have to walk back to the Millefiore mansion, but that was a small price to pay for destroying Bloody Syndicate.
Which reminded the white haired man, but it turned out that his white dragon was one step ahead of him. It turned its head to send a blast of energy hurtling towards the base. The building started to collapse on top of itself. Whoever was still inside would probably be crushed under the rubble of the dilapidated building. That was perfectly fine with the five of them. More than anything they just wanted to return home.
A few days had passed since the incident with Bloody Syndicate. The relationship between Kikyo and Ghost was growing, but they decided to take things slow. As of late, the yellow haired man spent many nights in the mint haired man's room. On the flip side, the other couple wasn't doing too well yet. Mukuro was still a little upset with Byakuran, and restricted the sexual things they did together. Although, the blue haired man was happy that his legs were healing up nicely. The white haired man wouldn't be able to stand the treatment any longer even though it only started happening a few days ago.
'He doesn't even care when I'm rubbing one out alone. Not that I intend for him to be around to see me do it, but still...'
Byakuran was lonely, and he wanted the attention that he deserved. He wanted to march over to wherever Mukuro was in order to drag him to their bedroom. The downside was that Mukuro was out and about somewhere in town. Why did today have to be the day that he decided to go out to visit Fran? The Millefiore boss sat down on the large empty bed feeling depressed, jealous, horny, and agitated, but mainly horny. He happened to notice that there was a shirt resting at the foot of the bed. It belonged to his Illusionist.
The white haired man scooted towards the shirt. He picked it up, and buried his face in the soft fabric. He inhaled the wonderful scent of his lover. It smelled of the eucalyptus and mint he loved so much with a hint of pineapple. Mukuro might feel the need to skin him alive if he ever mentioned the hint of pineapple to him. His scent alone was a huge turn on for Byakuran. He assumed he would be doing it alone once again.
He took another whiff of the shirt before he began his shameless act. Byakuran also made sure to move away from the shirt so that he didn't get any of his juices on it. While the smell was still fresh in his nostrils he undid the top of his pants, pulling out his swelling member. He had one hand at the base of his member, and began stroking himself off. Thoughts of Mukuro flooded through his mind stimulating him even more, making him pump his cock faster.
His juices beaded at the tip of his member, dripping down the side and on to the bedsheets. Sweat was trickling down Byakuran's face. He would have to clean up later, but wasn't concerned with it now. Perhaps if he could get a nice dirty image in his head of his lover, then he could climax. The slow turning of the doorknob directed the white haired man's attention away from those thoughts.
When Mukuro stepped through the door their eyes made direct contact. He shut the door behind him, and made his way over to the bed. It turned out that he was back early because Fran had to reschedule their outing. His young student explained to him that the Varia needed him to complete an importantly urgent mission.
The blue haired man climbed onto the bed, sitting in front of the Millefiore boss, "I didn't know you were feeling this desperate already."
The white haired man pushed his lover onto his back, pinning him down, "Please tell me that you forgive me. I won't be letting you up otherwise."
"Resorting to force are we? Is that the best you can come up with? I hope you know that I was genuinely shocked and scared when I thought you were dead." His voice was colder than Byakuran had ever heard it.
"I would never willingly die...not since I have you. I was just doing what I had to in order to get everyone out alive, and look, it worked!" All the white haired man wanted was for his lover to understand.
"And if it hadn't worked?" Mukuro inquired.
"I would let my guardians hate me for an eternity, and I would let you hate me until the end of time. Satisfied?"
Tears were forming in the corners of the blue haired man's eyes when he nodded his head. He tried to wipe the tears away with the tips of his fingers. Byakuran lowered himself down, and dove in for a passionate kiss, capturing Mukuro's lips. The white haired man lightly sucked on the blue haired man's lower lip. Not long after, his tongue pushed its way into his lover's mouth. Their tongues danced together, twirling and twisting. When Byakuran pulled away there was a line of saliva keeping them connected. It broke when he pulled a little further away.
He swiped the buttons of Mukuro's shirt open to expose his upper body. He started at the blue haired man's ear, nibbling on it. One of his hands pinched at a hard nipple. The Illusionist's face was taking on a flushed tone. Especially when he felt some of Byakuran's juices dripping onto his stomach. The white haired man's member was the only thing exposed currently. Mukuro's lover moved to his neck, sucking on his smooth soft skin.
The blue haired man moved his hand to Byakuran's member, and ran his fingers down the sensitive erection. Byakuran was sucking on the hard nipple he was playing with earlier. Instead of using his teeth he used his tongue to harden the nub further. The white haired man finally felt like they were wearing too much. He discarded every and any article of clothing from the lower half of Mukuro's body, but felt like keeping the unbuttoned shirt on him. There was something arousing about the look.
The Millefiore boss slipped his own shirt off, and let his pants fall as far down his legs as his current position would allow. He slipped his underwear down to about the middle of his hips. It was just enough for his member to hang out as freely as possible. For the record, when it was mentioned that he took all articles of clothing off of his lover's lower half that was somewhat of a lie.
He happened to notice that Mukuro was wearing the sexy underwear he bought for him. The thin tight fabric outlined everything he needed to see. The lace was an added bonus for looks, and there was the thin string of fabric in the back that wedged itself between his lover's ass cheeks. The color of the underwear was nice too because it was a seductive red. It was easy to tell that the blue haired man was getting a full throbbing erection too.
His balls were peeking out from the side of the underwear, and his cock was stretching out the fabric. Byakuran pulled his member free to let it stick up without resistance. Mukuro could feel his face burning, but it was his idea to wear the underwear to get something like this to happen since he had been neglecting his lover in the first place. The white haired man lovingly licked his partner's swollen member. The Illusionist let a few moans escape from his parted lips.
The Millefiore boss instructed the blue haired man to roll onto his side. He was curious to see if entering from this new angle would be more erotic or not. He had Mukuro suck on three of his fingers. While he waited he fondled his lover's member. When the blue haired man was done Byakuran kept up his fondling while he inserted a finger into the blue haired man's entrance. At first the string of fabric from the underwear got in his way, but he managed to move it over.
The Illusionist was squirming and moaning when the second and third finger had been added. Byakuran slightly stretched the fingers that lay buried in his lover's entrance. Mukuro's back arched with the feeling of being stretched out. Byakuran left a gentle kiss on Mukuro's cheek, and then got back to work. With one swift movement the white haired man pulled all three fingers out of the blue haired man's entrance. Mukuro was left breathless, and wanting more.
Byakuran reached over for a bottle of lube that sat on a small stand near the bed. He poured some into his hands, and preceded to lather the lube on his member. He set the bottle back on the table before entering into his lover. This time the string of fabric did not get in his way. Mukuro's moans were growing louder with each thrust. The white haired man placed one hand on Mukuro's hip, and let his other hand roam as far as it could.
All the Illusionist could do was grip at the bed sheets, and beg for more. Other than that his movements followed Byakuran's perfectly. The blue haired man was the first to reach his climax. His seed spilled onto his stomach, and even got some of his chest. Byakuran reached his climax not long after, and came inside of his lover. The blue haired man shuddered from the hot liquid filling up his body.
The Millefiore boss pulled out, and moved his head to his lover's entrance. He used is tongue to clean up some of the drippage. When he was done the string of fabric snapped back into place. Mukuro offered to lick Byakuran's cock clean. He let his tongue glide up, and down the white haired man's member. When he was finished he nibbled at the tip.
"Normally I wouldn't mind if you made me come again, but I really want to clean you up now." His hungry eyes wondered over his lover's body.
It took Byakuran a little bit of time to get Mukuro's stomach clean. Then, he moved up to get the few spots on his chest. He flicked his tongue over both of the blue haired man's nipples in the process. When he got to Mukuro's member he sucked the head dry. The blue haired man tucked his member back into the showy underwear. He tried to cover his balls as best as he could. On the bright side it wasn't like they were hanging out completely. He didn't bother to button his shirt back up. Byakuran slipped his underwear and pants back on. He wrapped his arms around Mukuro, and they ended up cuddling together.
"I love you so much." Mukuro whispered to the Millefiore boss as he rested his head on his chest.
"I'd say I love you more, but I did fake my death. So instead, I love you just as much." Byakuran replied playfully with a wink of his eye. He kept his arms wrapped around his Illusionist when they pressed their lips together.
The official ending of Caught In The Middle, I never imagined this fic would be a total of thirteen chapters. Thank you to those that have stuck around to read the full fic. I hope the ending was satisfying enough. I don't know if I should say this here, but I am thinking about writing a new fanfic between Alaude and Daemon Spade. I have no idea when that will happen only because I need to put some more work into a novel that I need to get around to finishing.
