Stage 5 - The Questions
"Well, that's all of that wrapped up," Hanekoma said calmly, clapping some dust off his hands.
The silver-haired youth sighed softly, but he had a small smirk on his face. "So it is. I need a small break, though. I'll be around Shibuya for a while."
"Sure thing, Boss."
After exchanging a wave with the barista, the copycat walked away from WildKat café and over to the other side of Shibuya. That took a while in itself, but when he was almost at his destination, a hand clasped onto his shoulder, making him look back in surprise, before he smiled cheekily.
"Oh. Why hello there, dear."
"You pick up some strange habits imitating that guy," said the redhead he had just greeted. "So, how'd it go?"
"Oh, just fine, thank you very much," said the silverette as he twirled his hair, still smiling. "And how did you do, Ichi?"
"Well enough. You're lucky you don't have to sit through school. Such. A. Pain…" said the redhead with a sigh. "Shall we go up?"
"Of course," the other young man said with a calm chuckle, and they headed for the elevator together. "So… I take it Master is out?"
"At least for the rest of the day, yes. Possibly also the rest of the night."
"Oooh." The redhead pressed the elevator button and stepped back to wait. As he did, the silver-haired youth behind him stepped up and murmured huskily into his ear: "So what are we doing tonight?"
"Not tonight, Hachi," the redhead sighed in slight annoyance. "I have to finish the homework we were given before tomorrow."
"Aww… you can do that after, right?"
"With your insatiability, no." They stepped into the elevator as its doors opened. "I'm surprised that that's how he really is, though…"
"Hmhmm… well, that's you get for being denied sex for so long," giggled the silver-haired youth, twirling a lock of hair around his finger as the redhead pressed the button for the proper floor.
"If he could be like that around Master, too, then maybe there was no need to force it."
"Oh, I don't know…" Once the doors closed, the silverhead was suddenly pressed up right against the redhead. "I rather like when you force me to submit like that…"
"Hachi, get off of me," the redhead groaned as the other boy pressed himself firmly against him.
"Why don't you go ahead and make me?"
"Don't tempt me. You know you'll regret it."
"No, I wouldn't, dear."
"Don't call me that!"
"Make me."
"…Oh that's IT!"
Ichi snagged Hachi's hands, threw all his weight forward into a spin and forced the silver-haired copy into the railing, and then crushed their mouths together. They pulled away when the elevator reached the proper floor, but only for Ichi to say: "Just so you know… if I'm unable to finish Master's homework, I'm pinning all the blame on you and I'll make sure you won't be able to come for a week!"
Hachi whimpered as Ichi pushed up a knee into his crotch. "Hmmm… aaah… point… taken…"
Ichi then grabbed Hachi by his collar and dragged him out of the elevator before the doors could close again and, once they were outside, picked him up and threw him over his shoulder. The silver-haired lookalike gasped as he grasped at Ichi's shirt, resisting the urge to whimper as each rise and fall from the redhead's steps caused his hardening cock to rub against the taller man.
"Hihi… and you call me impatient…" Hachi giggled out, before he yelped as Ichi smacked him on his ass.
"Shut up or I'll gag you, tie you up and leave you all night with a damn vibrator up your ass and a ring on your cock," Ichi threatened, and Hachi couldn't stop the moan that rumbled from his throat at the mental image.
"Mmmm… well, why not, dear?" he chirped with a small, unseen smirk on his face.
"…Don't say I didn't warn you," Ichi said darkly, though he, too, had a highly amused smirk on his face as he opened the door to the apartment and walked inside, closing and locking it behind him before he let Hachi down again.
The silverhead wasn't given the chance to say anything else, as Ichi immediately shoved him against the wall and interlocked their mouths once more. Hachi whimpered as Ichi's impossibly long tongue found its way inside and swirled around and round as the heavy schoolbag was dropped by their feet to be forgotten and hands began tugging and ripping at the obstructing articles of clothing. As Ichi's knee came up and rubbed against Hachi's fully erect cock, Hachi let out a mewling sound as his body shivered.
'…?' Hachi blinked in confusion, but before he could say anything, Ichi had already ripped himself away, stopped moving and looked to the side, a deep frown on his face as his blue eyes lost their color and turned white as the pupils became slitted. Clearly, the redhead had felt it as well; a cold wind brewing in the room.
"…did you leave the window open?" Hachi asked slowly, though not in his usual smart-aleck tone.
"…no…" Ichi murmured, and slowly, the pair moved further into the room.
The room was exactly as Ichi had left it that morning, with the exception of the open window. Nothing had been disturbed in the slightest to hint at an intruder having made his way into the small apartment. Ichi sniffed at the air and frowned. "Do you smell that?"
"Yes… Master's blood… he must have aggravated his wounds too much…" Hachi whispered back. "But I cannot sense anyone else here… whoever was here, they seem to have already left."
Ichi frowned as he walked to the window. He looked out, taking careful note of anything out of place, before stepping back and closing the window again. "Hachi, is anything out of place inside?"
"Nothing that I can see so far… …no, wait…" Hachi frowned and picked up some kind of short blade that had been laying on the floor by the door to the bedroom. "…this almost looks likes Master's ceremonial dagger, does it not?"
Ichi froze for a moment, before he walked over and took the blade from Hachi.
"…shit!" he hissed suddenly. "This… is bad… Hachi, take this to Master."
"Ichi…?"
"Kamui… Kamui is here."
"…! A-alright."
Joshua wasn't sure what it was that woke him, but when he did find himself to be conscious, he really wasn't ready to wake up just yet, so he kept quiet and pretended to still be asleep. Which was probably a good thing as he felt the Ninetails coiled up against his back shifting to sit up, his tails moving across his skin just slightly, almost—almost—making him shiver.
"Why are you here, Hachi?" Neku asked suddenly, and Joshua had to suppress a confused frown. He hadn't noticed anyone else coming into the room at all. He'd assumed it was just himself and Neku…
"I apologize, Master," said a voice that sounded—strangely—familiar to Joshua somehow… "Ichi has sent me… to give you this."
Neku actually tensed just then—his hand had been resting on Joshua's shoulder, so he could tell—and he said, almost icily: "Is that… Give it to me."
Something moved closer, but Joshua couldn't feel a presence, still; only heard the other person moving forward. He couldn't even hear the other person's "Music", but maybe that was because his powers had still been drained from him… but he should've still been able to sense another person's presence, especially this close, right?
"…So he's finally decided to show his face, huh?" Neku murmured, but his voice was almost like a snarl.
"It appears so… He has already been at your apartment while we were not there, and we believe he may return soon… What do you wish us to do?"
"…Nothing. Hachi, go back to Ichi and wait for me. I'll deal with Kamui myself once I'm done here."
"As you wish, Master."
"And Hachi."
"Yes, Master?"
"Don't unnecessarily keep Ichi from his work. At least wait until he's done."
"…Yes, of course, Master."
Silence followed that statement, and it took about five minutes before Neku let out what sounded like an aggravated sigh and he dropped himself back down on the bed again. Joshua believed it was safe to assume that Neku was not in a good mood, so he just pretended to be asleep for a little longer, not too eager to be on the receiving end of the Kitsune's wrath.
"…How much longer are you going to feign sleep, Josh?"
'…so much for that…'
Joshua sighed softly and opened one eye, looking up to the Kitsune who had rested his chin on the silverette's shoulder to look down at him. Something was off about Neku, he knew that right away, but whatever it was, he wasn't sure; he was still too tired to really determine that much. Obviously, the fox had known for a while that Joshua was already awake, though, so he decided to ignore that obvious question and instead asked something that was a little more pressing.
"Who was here just now?"
"…No one important, really…" Neku sighed out, shutting his eyes for the time being. He seemed quite content where he was, letting his head turn until his cheek was resting upon the Composer's bare shoulder.
"Oh…"
Joshua was a little surprised at his own lack of comeback, but then again, he was still in the midst of waking up. Without another word, Joshua rested his head back down and shut his eye for a moment longer. However, when Neku's fingers played through his bangs and fluttered across his forehead, he gave a small groan, cracking his eyes open again.
"Neku… I'm trying to get some more sleep, thank you very much…"
"Hmm… you slept long enough," was the fox's solemn response as he tangled his fingers in Joshua's hair. "Besides… you're starting to smell, to be honest…"
"Hey now, that's just rude, dear."
"Don't call me that. And blame my nose for that. C'mon."
Joshua wasn't allowed to object, as the Kyuubi stood up and looped his tails around the Composer, easily lifting him off the bed and making the boy gasp and grasp onto one of the fox's tails as though he was going to fall any second.
"N-Neku! I can walk fine on my own, put me do–"
But before Joshua could finish, he was neatly deposited in the Kitsune's arms, who immediately wrapped some sort of black cloth around him and wordlessly began to walk. The Composer could feel his face flush at the realization that the fox was carrying him bridal style and immediately started struggling.
"N-Neku! Put me down right now or I'll–"
"You don't even have your powers right now," the fox pointed out. "What makes you think you can do anything? Besides, you can't walk through the portal anyway."
"…portal? What portal?" Joshua asked, genuinely confused. Just where were they going?
"This one," Neku said simply, just as an ice-cold shudder ripped through Joshua, making him shut his eyes and curl up instinctively. "…You can look now, we're already through."
When Joshua opened his eyes again, he had to squint against the sudden brightness of the room, but when he got used to it, he just stared.
"This place is…"
Neku didn't offer any kind of confirmation or denial as he walked further in. The room they were in wasn't even a room, technically. It was more of an outdoor garden filled with cherry red sakura trees, the biggest one reaching at least a good ten to twenty feet, if not even more than that, and below its roots rested a large spring, and judging from the vapor coming off it, it was a hot spring as well. It was the same place where Neku had brought him after that first time. If he'd been here any other time after that, then Joshua didn't remember it.
"…why are we here?" he asked after a moment.
"Make an educated guess," Neku chuckled out, finally setting Joshua down on his feet by the edge of the spring.
Joshua cast an irritated glance over at Neku, before he sighed theatrically. "Fine, if you say so…" he mumbled, referring to when Neku had pointed out not too politely that he smelled.
Quietly, Joshua stepped forward and crouched down, testing the water with the inside of his wrist. Once he was certain it wouldn't burn him on contact, he slipped into the water, fighting the urge to moan at the feeling of his muscles relaxing almost immediately. The spring wasn't really too deep and sitting on his knees only brought the water around to his elbows, but that was fine, really.
He wasn't the least bit surprised as he heard Neku step into the water as well, moving over to sit behind him and placing his hands on the silverhead's shoulders. When his tails moved in, however, he jumped in surprise.
"Re-lax, Josh… I don't bite," Neku murmured softly in his ear, as his tails moved over Joshua's body, smelling suspiciously like some kind of soap. And as he focused for a moment, he realized he recognized it; cherry blossoms.
'So that's where that smell kept coming from that time…' Joshua realized, as the scent permeated his nostrils and caused his body to visibly relax. 'Mmm… so warm…'
He couldn't help himself as he gave a small sigh of contentment and leaned back, letting Neku do as he pleased. In any other situation, he would not have been this lenient, but… this place was… different.
In fact, he didn't even struggle when Neku gradually lowered him into the water until his shoulders had been submerged completely, nor when the Kyuubi's hands began smoothing over the vast expanse of his skin. Though he did moan pleasantly when the redhead's hands found his awakening need, letting his head fall back on the fox's shoulder.
"Nrgh… Ne… ku…"
His eyes had fallen shut a while ago, but—really—he couldn't be bothered to care at that point. And the Kyuubi merely chuckled in amusement, using one hand to pump the Composer's cock and his other to run the pads of his fingers along his quivering entrance. He didn't say anything, just ran his fingers over it slowly, teasingly, while keeping the pace of his other hand slow and torturous.
"Ne-Neku… s-sama… p-please… I… I ne… need… ooooohhh!" Joshua's back arched as Neku's nails briefly slipped inside, before moving out again and continuing to play with the twitching muscle. "Please I… urgh! Aaah! I-in…! Inside… please… ah… hah… a-aaaah!"
He moaned loudly as Neku's fingers finally slipped inside, twisting and turning and rubbing at the oversensitive skin. First two, and then three, and Joshua whimpered, but it wasn't enough…
"Ah… ah… Ne-Neku-sa… maaah…! M-more… please… please give me m-more…!"
He could feel Neku's soft chuckle against his back (as his own breathing was louder than the fox's laugh), and then he gasped when Neku's fourth finger slipped inside as well. But Joshua couldn't say anything about it before Neku pushed even further in, drawing a sharp, painful gasp from the silverette as his whole hand slipped inside up to the wrist, causing his body to tremble. And yet, despite the sharp pain from being stretched much further than should be possible, Joshua whimpered and moaned at the feeling of being so full.
"Hah… hah… p… please… m-move… please please please…"
And Neku obliged; his hand slipped out until only the tip of his thumb could graze over the rim, and then slipped right back in, drawing a long, guttural moan from Joshua as he instinctively bucked his hips up. The movement was slow and steady, and every brush against Joshua's prostate caused stars to appear behind his closed eyelids.
He could barely breathe, but somehow, he was able to (shakily) move his hands in an attempt to find something to cling to, and he ended up grasping onto Neku's powerful arms. He whimpered as the fox let loose a loud, highly satisfied purr that echoed right in his ear, making him attempt to move back against the Kyuubi.
"Ne-Nek-uuuu-s-saaaahhh-maahhh…! Ah… hah… s-so good… ah… ah… please… please… I… I… ahhh! Oh yesss… yes right there… oohhhh…"
Neku smirked as Joshua started babbling, his entire body trembling as his moved his hand inside the smaller male agonizingly slow, his other hand equally busy with pumping the boy's cock. The look on Joshua's face was one of raw pleasure, with his mouth half opened with drool dripping down his chin, eyes opened a crack and blurred from pleasure, and breaths coming out as short gasps for air.
Joshua was beyond caring what he looked like, though; his body was screaming at him for release, but Neku's seal wouldn't allow him to, he knew. He wasn't allowed to come without the Kyuubi's permission.
But there was something else he wanted, too…
"Pl-please… please…! I-I…! Ah… hah… hah… please, Neku-sa… maaah! Please… please I… I… I want y… guh! Hah… hah… I… want you… in-inside me… please…!"
At those words, Neku actually chuckled, but he still didn't speak as he moved forward and licked along the shell of Joshua's ear, making the boy shudder briefly. And as Neku teasingly moved his nails along the silver-haired male's prostate, he gave a pathetic wail.
"Aaaaah! P-please…! I-I… I want you to… to ta-take me… to… to fill me up… with your c-cum… please… I-I beg of you…! Please!"
Joshua couldn't see the victorious smirk that played along Neku's face as he, oh so slowly, removed his hand from inside Joshua, leaving behind an emptiness that drew a whine from Joshua's throat. When Neku grabbed his wrist, however, Joshua wearily blinked his eyes open as he was pulled further upright. When his hand was brought close to his own entrance, Joshua understood what the Kyuubi was expecting and he whimpered, but he did as he was wordlessly told and settled on his knees, using two fingers to pull himself open. Slowly, he lowered himself down, moaning as he felt the fox's length prodding at the loosened muscle, slipping inside so easily…
Gasping and whimpering, Josh needed a little while before he was able to lift himself up and then drop back down to repeat the motion again and again. His gripped Neku's arms tightly, using them for extra leverage to raise himself, his movements gradually speeding up and becoming more and more frantic, a litany of moans and pleas spilling from his lips. He could barely hear the Kyuubi's own gasps and moans, too focused on reaching that pinnacle he so wished for.
"N-Ne… Ne-kuuu… s-sa… maaah! Please…! Please… please I… I need… I… I…!"
Neku hissed softly as Joshua's fingers gripped around his arms tightly, almost tight enough to cut off the blood circulation, before he allowed a small smirk. Wordlessly, he pulled Joshua up against him, making the boy howl out as this new position caused Neku to strike his prostate with every thrust as the fox finally started moving on his own, drawing sharp cries from Josh as his head lolled from side to side.
Wordlessly, Neku moved his mouth to beside Joshua's ear, and whispered something so quietly, that it could just as well have been a quiet exhalation. However, it caused Joshua to tense and then gasp sharply.
"Ne-Ne-Nek-Neku-samaaaaaahh!" he screamed out, feeling both his own release as well as Neku's hit, the Kyuubi's cum coating his inner walls and filling him up so much… "Ah… ahhh… so hot… so… g…good…" he whimpered out, before his consciousness faded once more.
"…mmm… ne, Ichi?" Hachi moaned out wearily as the redhead in question pushed his knuckles into the silverette's back. "What kind of…ngh… person is Kamui? I've… aahh… never actually… met him."
It was almost 11 in the evening, and Hachi was, to put it bluntly, bushed. Ichi had made due on his threat earlier that day, leaving Hachi alone in the bedroom while he worked on the homework from hell, as Ichi called it, and he hadn't let the silver-haired copycat off the hook until about 20 minutes ago. Not that Hachi was complaining (much), but his muscles were so sore that he feared he'd be unable to work for Master for at least two days. Maybe three.
Which put them in their current situation with Ichi working out the kinks in the other's muscles.
"Master didn't give you the memories of him?" Ichi murmured softly, switching back to using the palms of his hands to knead the muscles along Hachi's back, running his thumbs over the boy's spinal cord. "A little surprising…"
"Ichi, dear, I was created—ooh, right there—five years ago to aid Master during the Reapers' Game… There was really no need for such memories except for the basic knowledge I required."
"Touché…" Ichi said, before he pinched Hachi's ass, making him yelp. "And don't call me that."
"Hihi."
Rolling his eyes, Ichi went back to what he was doing. He took his time to respond, however.
"Kamui is… I'm not sure how to describe him properly, but he's… an old… 'friend', I suppose… of Master." Pause to work on a particularly stubborn nerve bundle, drawing a long groan from Hachi. "He's about two and a half century older than Master, and this, he believes, gives him more than enough reason to worry about Master."
"Mmmm… how is that bad?"
"He gets worried to the point where it's almost obsessive. That's what."
"Oooh… yes, I can see how that can be a—itai!—problem… What do you think Master will do?"
"…I don't know… but you know how much Master hates to be looked down upon… there is no way that this is going to end well."
"…I see…"
Ichi blew his bangs away, working his way back up, before he blinked curiously — which soon turned into a predatory grin.
"Your ears are showing, Hachi."
"Huh wha—" Hachi started, but he was cut off as a yip ripped itself loose from his throat when Ichi lightly bit down on the small, fox-like ear poking out from his hair. "I-Ichi… w-wait… n-not so—"
However, Ichi only chuckled as he nibbled on the tip of Hachi's silver-furred ear, making the smaller boy mewl, and even more as Ichi's hands—the nails already growing sharper—began to run over his back. "Don't start with that, Hachi…" Ichi purred into the silverette's ear. "You've been hard since the moment I began, so don't say you weren't itching for me to do that."
Hachi whimpered as his eyes lost their amethyst glow and turned a pale yellow-orange in color, the pupils slitting across the iris before beginning to dilate. "I-Ic-Ichiiiiiiaaaaahhhh!" he wailed out as the redhead ground against his back. "Oh goddess…! Ah… ah… I… chi…!"
"Hahaha… Master's probably not going to sit still tonight, either… so why should we do otherwise, ne?" Ichi murmured, a devilish grin spreading over his face and a pair of fangs poking out over his bottom lip. "So… just lay still and take it like a good boy."
The silverette whined as Ichi's hands moved down, but he didn't object and even spread out his legs, his breathing growing heavier as his ears trembled and twitched sharply, though a small smirk played on his lips.
"A… and you say I… I'm insa… insatia-aaaaaah!" he howled out as Ichi moved inside him in the next instant. "Ah… hah… was… was that… necessaryyyyyyy!"
Ichi laughed as the boy beneath him wailed and clawed at the bed sheets, gasping for breath. "Yes. Yes, that was necessary," he chuckled out, thrusting inside of the silverette once again, drawing another keening cry from him. "And I'll do it as many times as I like."
"Ah… ah… ah… I-Ic-chiiii…" Hachi wailed out, his nails sharpening and nearly ripping through the sheets. "Ah… hah… hah… ha-harder… please… har… harder…!"
The redhead laughed breathlessly, placing one hand beside Hachi's head and gripping his hip with the other, moving harder and faster, drawing loud, desperate cries from the silverette. The shorter boy continued to cry and wail out, barely able to breathe as redhead moved in and out, over, and over, and over again.
"I-I-Ichi…! C… ca… I can't… ah… hah… can't… hold on… a-any… hah… hah… l-longer…!"
"Heh… heheh… I know… hah… hah… so why're you… ah… holding back?"
Hachi gasped for breath, his eyelids fluttering uncontrollably as he tried to stay on the brink for just a little longer, but Ichi's insistent thrusts striking at his prostate were nullifying all his attempts. And when Ichi nibbled on his ear again, it became absolutely impossible and he released a pleasured howl as he climaxed.
The tensing of his muscles was enough for Ichi, and the redhead let out a grunt, and released inside of Hachi, making the boy yowl as his passage was coated in Ichi's red hot cum, before he collapsed, panting for breath and his whole body trembling.
Ichi chuckled breathlessly as he pulled away, and then moved to lay beside Hachi. "Heh… you still lack concentration, Hachi."
"Sh… shut up…" the silverette grumbled, turning on his side to face the redhead, deep purple eye shadow now surrounding his eyes and a pair of fangs peeking out over his lip, and the kanji for "eight" painted on his forehead. "I blame you for that…"
"Heh…" Ichi merely smirked cheekily, laying down on his back. Hachi didn't waste time and crawled over to lay on top his chest, making the other chuckle. "You've only got yourself to blame for that," he said, reaching over and resting a hand in Hachi's hair.
"Mmm… whatever you say, dear…"
"Don't call me that, idiot…"
But Ichi's words fell on deaf ears, as Hachi had already fallen fast asleep, a pale silver fox tail swaying lightly behind him. Ichi chuckled and shook his head, grabbing the blanket from the side and tossing it over them both. As he lay there, however, he couldn't help but frown as he looked up to the ceiling.
He remained silent like that for several long moments, before he shut his eyes and allowed himself to doze off for the time being.
When Joshua awoke next, it was to the feeling of a blossom landing on his cheek, making him groan and blink his eyes open wearily. Once he was able to discern features again, he realized that he was still in the cherry blossom garden. When he tried to sit up, however, he came to the realization that he was being held down by something.
Or, more accurately, someone…
Looking down, Joshua saw that he was laying on top of Neku, who seemed to be fast asleep. The fox's arms had wrapped themselves around the Composer, keeping him in place even while the Kitsune napped.
So, after giving a heavy sigh, Joshua let his head rest on the Kyuubi's chest again.
…do-kun… do-kun… do-kun… do-kun…
Joshua hummed a little as he listened to Neku's heart beat, remaining still and quiet as he shut his eyes again. However, as he did, something that he had heard earlier floated back in his mind.
I'll deal with Kamui myself.
'…Who is "Kamui"? And why did he sound so… hostile when he said that?'
After a moment more of silent contemplation, he sighed and pushed up. He just hoped he wasn't going to regret this later; he was sore enough as it was already.
"Neku… Neku, dear, wake up," Joshua cooed cheekily, rubbing his fingers along Neku's cheek.
The Kyuubi groaned before he pried one eye open. "What? Can't you just sleep for now?"
"Hihi… sorry, dear," he giggled, ignoring Neku's sleepy "Don't call me that…" and saying without a moment's delay: "I'm merely curious about who this 'Kamui' is you were talking about earlier."
That seemed to get Neku awake in a flash, as the Kitsune's eyes snapped open and lost their weariness right away as he looked up at Joshua wordlessly. After several long moments, however, the fox sighed and shut his eyes. "No one important."
"Oh? Well, you certainly made him sound important earlier…"
"Shut up, Josh," was Neku's only response.
Joshua sighed a little, shaking his head. "Alright, if you won't tell me, do you mind if I guess?"
"…What part of 'shut up' is so difficult to understand?" Neku sighed out.
"Awww… but I'm curious, Nekuuuu."
"Yeah, and curiosity is what mauled the cat…"
"Killed, you mean, dear."
"Don't call me that… and you can't kill something that's already dead."
"Hmmm… true, true… sooooo… is Kamui a friend of yours, then?" Joshua chirped with a cheeky smirk on his face.
"Urgh… can't you just shut up about that already?"
"We discussed that already, ne?" Joshua chuckled out. "Oooh… was he your… boyfriend then?"
BONK
"Ita!/Argh!" Joshua and Neku howled out at roughly the same time as Neku had—rather abruptly—shot up from where he had been laying on the ground. Which resulted in them banging their foreheads together.
"Urgh… gimme a break! Me and… Kamui? Get real!" Neku snarled out, rubbing his forehead painfully. "That guy's so damn obsessive—not to mention damn jealous—that he'd never let me go anywhere on my own!"
Joshua blinked curiously from where he sat, hand over his own forehead. "Oh? So he's not a friend, then?"
"I never said—…Damn you," Neku snarled as Joshua giggled, having just realized he'd started talking about the one thing he had been trying to avoid.
"Hihi. So… who is he, then?" Joshua asked sweetly with a small smile.
The redhead snarled dangerously, before he sighed heavily and dropped back on the ground. "A damn over possessive fox-brother. Happy?"
At those words, Joshua actually arched an eyebrow. "Oh? I wasn't aware you had any siblings?"
"I don't," Neku grumbled. "Bastard just likes to think he is, that's all."
"Hmm…" Joshua remained silent for a few moments, before he moved forward to rest his chin on his arms, which rested on the Kyuubi's chest. "And you believe he's coming here?"
"Worse… he's already here."
"…what? But… then how come I didn't…"
"Don't underestimate him… that guy can mingle in any crowd and no one will notice him if he just appears out of nowhere…" Neku grumbled, rubbing the bridge of his nose. "Urgh… not looking forward to seeing him again…"
Sensing the tension in Neku's body, Joshua gave small, exasperated sigh and reached up with one hand, placing his fingers behind one of the Kyuubi's elongated ears with every intention of scratching there as though he were a giant cat or dog — only to have his hand snagged away the moment he moved the fingers over the fox's scalp. And in the next moment, he was on his back, both hands held above his head, and a pissed Kitsune hovering above him.
"Don't… EVER… do that again… do you understand?" the fox snarled furiously, actually making the Composer gulp in worry.
'Oops…?'
"Um… s-sorry?" Joshua offered lamely with a small shrug of his shoulders (as best as he could, anyway). "I… I was just—"
But before Joshua could finish his explanation, Neku dove in and covered the Composer's mouth with his own again, forcing his tongue inside with such ferocity that it made Joshua whimper in slight worry. He could tell from the way Neku's tongue danced around in his mouth that the Kyuubi was really ticked, even if he didn't understand why. However, the last time he had managed to tick the Kyuubi off had been about three weeks ago, when he had actually dared to ignore the redhead's phone calls and texts.
Now THAT had to have been the biggest mistake of his afterlife as of yet…
When Neku finally pulled away and began to assault his neck, throat and chest with rough kisses and bites, Joshua began to hurriedly apologize as though his (after)life depended on it.
"Ne-Neku… wait… please no…! I-I didn't mean… ah… oh god…! Hah… hah… n-no… N-Nek-uuuu!"
But the Kyuubi paid no heed to the boy's pleas, and Josh was glad that Neku wasn't even rebuking him at this point for leaving out the proper suffix (which he had completely forgotten because of his panic-ridden mind). But that didn't make the situation any easier as Neku forced open the Composer's legs with his tails and thrust in without any warning.
Both the speed and the force almost jarred Joshua's jaw and he almost bit his tongue because of it as a scream of agony drowned in his throat, resulting in a strangled sound that he could not name and tears to spring to his eyes. When Neku moved again, just as harsh and fast as before, Joshua actually let out a howl of pain, his eyes shut tightly.
After a moment of fruitless struggling, however, Joshua forced his entire body to go limp and merely lay there, his eyes shut and biting down on his lip. There was no way for him to stop Neku without any of his powers; especially when he was like this. Josh had always done everything in his power to NOT piss Neku off when he was in full Kyuubi-mode after that last time, but this time he hadn't even realized that what he had been about to do was 'bad', so it wasn't even his fault…
And yet…
"…I… I'm sor…ry…" he whispered out, doing his best still to keep still and stay limp; that seemed to keep the pain to a minimum. "I'm… sorry… I'm sorry…"
It was all he could do; apologize and pray that Neku's fury would simmer down. He could only hope…
Suddenly, the grip on his hands disappeared, and a gentle touch tilted his face up, before his mouth was covered again, ceasing his endless litany of apologies. And then a familiar jolt of pleasure shot up Joshua's spine that caused his back to arch and a moan to roll over his tongue into Neku's mouth. When Neku pulled away, finally, Joshua wailed as the fox struck that spot over and over again, driving the pain away, his hands blindly reaching out and grasping onto the other male's shoulders, digging his short nails into the skin.
"Ah… ah… Ne-Nekuuu… ah… hah… hah… AH!"
Joshua wasn't even sure what he had been going to say, but hell, he lost interest in his own words before he could properly articulate them. He just clung to the fox above him for dear life as he thrust inside over and over again, his breath fast and unsteady. He could already feel his own release building fast, despite this being the third time today, and he wailed, feeling his body start to tense.
"Ne… Nek… uuuuuu… I… I can't… ah… hah…"
But Neku said nothing and merely reached down with one hand to pump the boy's neglected need, drawing a long, desperate moan from Joshua.
"Ah… hah… Ne… Neku… please… more… please give me… m-more… aaaahhh…!"
He could hear Neku's chuckle from somewhere by his ear, and then one of his legs was raised and placed over the redhead's shoulder, but Neku never ceased moving and this new angle made Joshua yowl out.
"Ah… ah… hah… hah… Ne-Nekuuuuuu! P-please I… I… I-I…!" Joshua gasped out, but just then, Neku whispered something under his breath and he felt his entire body tensing, "AH! N-NEKUUUUUU!"
Joshua gasped for breath as the redhead had moved away from him again. He didn't dare to open his *eyes just yet, not sure if the fox's rage had settled entirely just yet, but not wanting to take the chance either way.
Just then, though, there was a gentle touch on his temple.
Blinking wearily, Joshua looked up at the fox as the fox lay down beside him wordlessly. For a long time, they didn't speak, but Joshua wasn't expecting him to, so he just shut his eyes again and figured he should get some rest.
That is, until…
"…Sorry, Josh…" Joshua's eyes snapped open in surprise, but Neku had rested his head in the Composer's shoulder, hiding his face from view. "I just really hate when people do that… so… sorry…"
'Ah… that explains it…'
"It… it's okay…" Joshua murmured softly. "Just… never mind… it's fine…"
With a small sigh, he shut his eyes again and moved closer to Neku to get some rest. And that seemed fine with the Kyuubi, as a number of his tails wrapped themselves around the smaller male.
But before he could doze off entirely, Neku's ears twitched against his face and the Kitsune snapped upright almost immediately.
"Hm…? Neku? What's…?"
"…looks like he couldn't wait…" Neku snarled softly, holding out his hand above Joshua, a pale silver glow coming from his palm. Surprisingly, this caused Joshua's normal clothes to materialize on him, as at the same time, Neku's black and silver kimono covered the Kyuubi's body.
"Huh…? Am I missing some—"
"Just stay here, sit still and be quiet," Neku hissed as he stood up, turning around.
Before Joshua could question it, the Kyuubi snarled, his tails bristling as the Composer became aware of another presence – that almost seemed to have come out of nothing. And that was soon followed by a voice…
"…It has been a while… Kurasa."
"…Kamui."
A/N: Yeah, like I said; this is where things start getting "complicated". It should be pretty obvious who Ichi and Hachi are. Kamui... I'll save explaining his origin when he is properly introduced.
One thing I forgot to mention about the telephone scene in stage 2; my sister actually told me about such a scene and I have NO idea where she got it from.
Edit: For those who have this on Story Alert, sorry if the alert showed up twice, but this chapter (for some reason) refused to show up even after 24 hours.
