Prologue: Darkness in the Bathhouse

The sound of Tamahome's boots echoed down the hallway. The halls were dark. Most of the servants and guests had long gone to sleep. He strode past the emperor's meeting hall, where he could hear the voices of his fellow seishi murmuring behind the door.

They were still up, of course they would be. Miaka had disappeared along with the power of their god. Trapped in the body of Ji-hime, or what ever name it when by anymore. He smirked. She wouldn't be able to handle that power, and perhaps the phoenix god would be snuffed out when the body that held it burned out.

Tamahome didn't stop for the meeting. He didn't want to see anyone anymore. Their sympathetic glances, their smiles. It had been shoved down his throat since that fateful day. He winced. That day when the last thing that meant anything to him was ripped away.

Foolish Sou. He cursed his name. He hadn't referred to himself as Tamahome since the failure of the summoning.

Tonight, he was concentrating on getting far away from himself, far away from the tearing in his heart, the emptiness that consumed his soul.

Tasuki lay on the floor of his room, sake bottles littered his reclining space and he sang a low tune. He'd kept himself drunk since the failed summoning. The day Ji had been exposed as a Seiryuu seishi, as well as the day Miaka had vanished with Kouji. It was also the day he'd watched in shocked horror as the last of Tamahome's family was torn to pieces. He felt responsible for not being able to help Tamahome save them.

He shook his head and grabbed for another bottle of sake. The memories were beginning to become clear again, and he didn't want that to happen. Finding no more sake, he grumbled and got to his feet. He stumbled down the hall towards the bathhouse, if he couldn't get more sake then he'd take a bath.

There was a slam of a door somewhere down the hall. New foot falls sounded. Walking towards him. Sou quickly stepped backwards behind one of the columns. His face was hidden in shadow as he waited to see who it was that dared interrupt his nightly roaming.

Tasuki kept bumping into doors as well as a maid on his quest for a bath. She seemed knew who he was and tried to keep a fair distance; the last time she'd encountered the drunken bandit he'd forced her to listen to him rant and sob over the events of a few days ago.

After being turned in the right direction by the put upon maid, Tasuki finally found his sanctuary; the bathhouse was empty. "Sugoi, s'free!"

Dark green eyes narrowed from the shadows.

Tasuki. A grin tugged at his lips. There were few things that got him angry and even fewer things that made him sweat and Tasuki pushed his way into both categories. Nothing irritated him more than this one person. Every damn moment Tamahome's mind wasn't being haunted by the faces of the people he had failed, Tasuki's would replace them.

He watched the red head slosh past him and out to the bathhouse.

Something made him follow; something pulled him through the palace halls, quietly behind him until he was standing at the bathhouse doors. He placed his hands on the wooden frame and pushed them open.

Tasuki sat on the floor and stripped out of his pants. He was too drunk to walk properly, so he crawled along until he reached the tub and flopped himself in. He came up for air and noticed starlight coming from the doorway. He turned drunkenly towards the silhouette, squinting to see who it was.

"Who's 'ere? Ya 'un wanna c'm in 'ere righ' now. M'bathin'." he slipped to the side, his arms resting unsteadily on the lip of the tub.

Sou let the door slide shut again. He didn't speak, just folded his arms across his chest and walked around the tub, eyeing Tasuki with a dark smirk. "Tasuki." he said acknowledging him as he came around to the edge where the bandit leaned.

His head wobbling on his neck a bit, Tasuki looked up through the darkness. "Tama? 'S tha' you?" Shaking back some of the drunken-ness, he tried to get to his feet. "Y'want me t'leave? I jus gots 'ere though, gimme a minute t'get clean an' I'll go."

He laughed at himself; he sounded strange when he drank. He grinned up at Tamahome for a moment, but gravity pulled him backward with a loud splash. He coughed as he resurfaced, swiping water out of his face.

Sou's grin widened and he crouched down, looking the swaying Tasuki in the eyes.

"You can stay, after all, you did just get here." He chuckled; the sound was low and cold. "Mind if I join you?" He dipped the tip of his finger in the water and swirled it lazily while he waited for the answer.

Tasuki shrugged and waved him in, stepping back to rest against the rim at the opposite side of the tub. He tripped a bit and giggled as he caught the side of the tub. "B'careful. S' slick. Fallin' down 'lot. 'Kay?"

He grinned and sat on the submerged ledge, laying his arms out to either side of him on the edge of the tub.

Sou lifted his hand out of the water, watching in awe at how the water droplets ran down his finger and dripped off. Kind of like blood. The rivers of blood he dreamed about every night since that day. The stream of red running down Yuiren's small fingers, tiny drip, drip, drips into the pool to join the rest.

He clenched his fist around the drops and stood up. Every movement was slow and deliberate, as if he was still walking in those dreams. He slipped off his jacket and untied his tunic, letting both items fall to the ground with a soft rustle.

"You know, Tasuki." He began as he walked over to where Tasuki sat. Sou touched the other man's shoulder with his fingertips, walking his index finger up Tasuki's neck and flicking his ear. He slid his palm down Tasuki's chest and into the water to his belly. "I didn't mean in the bath." Sou whispered in his ear.

Tasuki's grin slipped a bit. "Wha?" he tried to grab Tamahome's hand and move it, but his state of inebriation made the task difficult. "Where else ya gonna join me? In drinkin'?" he giggled and cocked his head, wanting a repeat of the flick to his ear. Breath whispered over his ear and he frowned, "Yer awful close ain't ya Tama-chan?" He turned his head to look in Tama's face.

Sou raised an eyebrow. "Am I?" he smiled and moved closer. "I thought you wouldn't mind." His hand ventured lower under the water's edge. His eyes burned into Tasuki's. "I thought you wanted me?"

Tasuki gulped, "W-well, uh... I-I uh..." he squirmed, uncomfortable with how things seemed. Tama almost acted as if he wasn't himself. "A-Are ya okay, Tama-chan? Ya seem... differ'nt."

"I've never been better." He draped his other hand over Tasuki's shoulder and kneaded the muscles there, "Maybe, Tasuki-kun, this is what I'm really like." He chuckled deep in his throat, moving the hand in the water to glide over Tasuki's hip.

Tasuki squirmed again, trying to avoid the wandering hand under the water. "Err, ya sure yer..." he gulped and shook his head, trying to get his brain to work. "Okay?" He was more than a bit confused. "Err, ya feelin' arright?" he pressed a hand to Tama's forehead, but found nothing wrong. "Ya don't seem sick."

"I'm sorry Tasuki, I must look like a fool." Sou brought his hand back up out of the water, placing it on Tasuki's chin. "I thought you wanted me to be nice to you." A dark grin spread over Sou's face. "Would you rather I was cruel to you?" He asked. A moment later, the hands on Tasuki's shoulder and chin pushed down hard and covered Tasuki up to his hair in water.

Tasuki thrashed around, gripping Tamahome's hand and tugging at it. Air was fast leaving his lungs, and he struggled harder. Desperation drove him to claw at the hand holding him under. He kicked at Tamahome's feet, attempting to knock him over, but soon enough the fight was leaving him. His lungs burned, starving for oxygen.

He pulled him back up and, before Tasuki could gulp down a breath of air, Sou clamped his mouth over Tasuki's, invading the unsuspecting bandit's mouth with his tongue.

Tasuki was surprised and a little unnerved by the kiss; sure it felt nice but after being near drowned he wasn't sure he could handle being kissed. It was too fast, too much of a change in emotions. What the heck was going on? He pushed against Tamahome's chest, fighting to tear his lips free so that he could gasp in a single breath.

Sou let himself be pushed away. He smirked, wondering what the bandit would have to say. "Too fast for you? Or is it that you really didn't mean what you said?"

Tasuki gasped, sucking sweet oxygen into his lungs. He glared up at Tamahome, panting out his reply. "Yeah, too fast. An' I did, but ya" he paused to breathe some more, "didn't want me. What th' hell are ya doin'?"

"I reconsidered." He said simply, leaning back and enjoying the look of anger and panic on Tasuki's face.

He finally gained his breath back and shifted to the side, away from Tamahome's reach. "Reconsidered? Ya call damn near drownin' me 'reconsidered'? Ya either like me t'the point a bein' scary or ya wanna fuckin' kill my ass."

Sou made a grand gesture of considering the two options; cupping his chin in one hand and crossing the other over his chest. "You know, I really can't decide." He closed the space between them, arms dropping to his sides. "One part of me wants you dead for breaking your oath and letting my family die in your care. I want to see you suffer. And the other," He reached out and grabbed Tasuki's chin between his fingers forcing his lips closer. "Wants to fuck you so hard that you scream out for me to stop before you explode."

Tasuki's eyes went wide. He sputtered out unintelligible nonsense as he tried to back away only to find himself pinned against the edge of the tub. "Wha- what?! I-I did my best! I was trapped th' same as you! I tried t'get to 'em! I did!"

Sou shrugged. "No matter how many nights pass, no matter how much I tell myself the same thing, it won't quiet their voices. They're still screaming for me to save them." another dark grin lit his face. "Maybe your screams will drown them out."

He planted his hand behind Tasuki's head and eased his body closer. "Come on, Tasuki-chan." Sou flicked his tongue against Tasuki's earlobe. "Either way I'll make you scream. Your choice how I do it."

Tasuki gulped, "I don't want you to kill me, Tamahome, but..." he bit back a gasp, "you wanna... w-what?" He was speechless, trying to say more but nothing came out. He was pulled to Tamahome; his back stiffening as he tried to resist the tugging but the position of Tamahome's hand moved him anyway.

Sou leaned close to Tasuki's ear, pressing his body fully against him. "I want to fuck you, Tasuki." He spoke each word clearly and slowly, letting them sink in. "I want to fill you up inside, make you cum until you don't have any left." He reached a hand down to Tasuki's thighs, "Do you understand or will I have to show you?"

Tasuki trembled, wanting what was offered but a little afraid of this new Tamahome. "I-I understand." he closed his eyes, letting his body go lax. A tingle went through him as Tamahome's hand moved over his skin. He didn't want another dunk and he was more than a bit nervous about what Tamahome wanted of him. "W-what are ya gonna d-do?"

A devilish smirk tugged at Sou's mouth. He said nothing as he pressed his mouth hard against Tasuki's, parting his lips and thrusting his tongue inside. He broke the kiss, if one could call it that, sucking in Tasuki's lower lip and biting it lightly. One arm wrapped around Tasuki's chest and pulled him forward, his other found the tip of Tasuki's cock and traced circles around the head, feather light, letting the water ripples caress him. "What you want me to do." He breathed across his bare neck.

Tasuki gasped, his hips moving forward against his will into the fluttering touch around his cock. "Hnn." his body moved, one arm wrapping around Tamahome tentatively. "T-Tamahome... p-please... s-stop..."

Sou gripped Tasuki, tightening his hand around the hardening organ. "Are you sure?" The smirk widened and he moved his free hand up to Tasuki's chest, touching the hardened nipples. "Doesn't feel like you want me to stop." He stroked Tasuki's shaft faster, leaving his index finger to swirl around the tip. "Looks to me like you want this. You want me to touch you, to shove my cock inside of you. Hmm?" He bit down on Tasuki's shoulder, then his tongue lapped at the marks.

A dark blush colored Tasuki's cheeks. He had almost no control over his body; it wanted to follow Tamahome's movements. He arched into the firm grip around his erection. "Y-yes..." he whispered, biting his lip in an effort to keep the word behind his teeth. He had no idea what he was agreeing to, just that he agreed. His head snapped back and he gripped Tamahome's shoulders as he felt the teeth digging into his neck. "Oh gods..."

Sou's ever-present smirk slipped over his lips again. Tasuki's nipples were hard between his fingers as he squeezed and tweaked them. He was beginning to get hard himself and he pushed his hardening cock against Tasuki's thigh. Sou alternated between slow and fast, first speeding up then slowing down his pumps. "You want me, don't you, Tasuki-chan?" He breathed, nipping his neck again.

Tasuki whimpered, arching his hips into the strong strokes. He thrust his chest out, begging to be touched. He bit his lips, giving one short jerk of his head. He wasn't ready to ask aloud, even if the nips and bites at his neck were fast tearing down his resolve. "Nnn... Y-yea... hnn!"

He couldn't say it, no matter how badly he needed to.

"What was that?" He pulled his ear close to Tasuki's lips. "Couldn't make that out, Tasuki." His hands kept working.

Tasuki's fingers tightened on Tamahome's shoulders, nearly chewing through his lips in an effort to keep the words silent.

He lost the battle, "Yes! Please, yes. Please, Tama-chan, please...." He squirmed and tried to move closer, wanting and needing to receive all that Tamahome promised. Though his mind was nearly gone, he couldn't ask for what he wanted by name. He was still in control of that little piece of his brain.

"Please what?" He feigned innocence, bringing his stroking to a halt until Tasuki would say it. Sou licked at Tasuki's ear, suckling on it and nibbling the lobe. "What could you possibly want that I could give you?" He dipped his tongue in the hollow of Tasuki's ear and continued to torment him.

Tasuki panted, his grip on Tamahome's shoulders nearly breaking the skin, "Please, just... please!" he whined, pressing himself against the warmth of Tama's body. Torment and pleasurable torture fired his blood, he needed. He turned Tama's head to the side, growling against his ear. "All of it, give me all of it." Fangs nipped desperately at Tamahome's neck, wanting to return even a small amount of the pleasure he was receiving.

A smile played across Sou's lips. "Good boy." He spun Tasuki around and wrapped his arm around his hips, pulling his ass closer to him. He gripped Tasuki's dick and started stroking once more. His other arm twined around Tasuki's chest and rolled his nipples between his fingers. He pressed his own hardness up against Tasuki's backside and rocked his hips, making sure Tasuki could feel what would be making him scream out soon enough.

Tasuki gasped and ground his hips back into the heat pressing against his ass. He gripped the edge of the tub; as if holding on to it would help him hold on to his sanity. He growled, wanting more but dared not beg.

Sou kept his eyes on Tasuki's hands. He could hardly keep from clawing at the tub right now and he had hardly done anything. Sou leaned over, trailing his tongue down the length of Tasuki's neck as he rubbed the tip of his cock to Tasuki's opening. "Gods, you need this, don't you?" He said with a smirk in his voice. "Look at you. Going crazy without me inside of you. "

Tasuki gripped the tub harder, his lips nearly bleeding he had bit them so hard. "J-just d-do it." he gasped out, raising his hips a bit to get in position. The heat of Tama pressed to his opening almost was his breaking point, and he nudged backwards. "Ye-yes, I n-need it. P-please!"

A sinister smile crept over his face. He spread Tasuki open and pushed inside of him. The heat of Tasuki wrapped around him made his veins pulse. He pulled his hips back and thrust deeper inside of him. "You like that? Hnn, Tasuki-chan?" He thrust again, but Tasuki was already pulling him in.

Tasuki screamed, pleasure warring with pain at the rough intrusion. "T-Tama, shhhhit! Uhn," He accepted each thrust, the water lapping over the edge of the tub with each forward push. He was riding the knife's edge of pleasure, literally drooling between gasps and groans. He moved one hand from the edge of the tub and gripped his own erection, stroking it in time with the almost furious pounding.

Sou smacked Tasuki's hand away. "Huh-uh," He said sneering. "You start misbehaving and I'll stop." He wrapped his own hand around Tasuki's throbbing arousal and stroked in time with his thrusts. His fingers played with the small opening at the tip where Tasuki's sticky liquid was starting to form. He brought his other hand up to Tasuki's chest again and pinched his nipples. "I'm the one who's making you feel like this, Tasuki. I'm the one who's going to cum deep inside of your ass. And you'll love every moment." He smirked at the dazed look of pleasure that graced Tasuki's face.

Tasuki grunted, nodding his head in defeat. He didn't care about anything anymore; he just wanted to come. He could feel his lips moving, knew that he was saying something, but had no idea what was coming out of his mouth. "Yeah, h-harder. M-more!" he thrust back, allowing the almost brutal thrusts to hit that much harder. His face burned and his body was on fire. "M-more!" he couldn't shut up, he couldn't get enough.

He was desperate to come; desperate to keep this going, demanding more even though he was pretty sure he was very bruised and wouldn't walk normally the next day.

"Whatever you want, Tasuki-chan." Sou dug in deeper, filling Tasuki with every last inch of his hard cock. He grabbed hold of Tasuki's hips and violently pulled them towards him. Gods, how could Tasuki take him in so fully?

Tasuki's back arched, his breath seizing up in his chest for a moment as Sou struck something within him that caused stars to dance in his vision and his body to convulse.

He was close, very close. “Ah... co-coming!” he panted, leaning back and curling one arm around Tamahome's neck while the other dropped automatically to pleasure himself. He clenched his eyes shut as he crept closer to the edge of reason. “I'm coming! Oh, fuck me... fuck me, Sou!”

"NO!" Sou barked and grabbed Tasuki's wrists, using them as leverage as he pushed him back down to the rim of the tub again, plunging deep inside of him. He pinned Tasuki's arms behind him and wrapped his other hand around his throbbing erection. He was swelling and screaming.

Tasuki was ready.

Sou`s dark smirk widened and he pinched the tip of Tasuki's cock, forbidding him to come until he was ready. He closed his eyes. A little bit more.

Tasuki yelped, straining to tug his arms free so that he could take those final few steps towards relief. His passions heightened to an unbelievable stinging and throbbing in his cock. "Ah! N-no! Let me come! Oh please, oh please!" The pressure both from within and without was making him crazy, Anything... No matter what Tamahome asked for; at that point he'd do anything to come. "Nnn! L-let go! I-I gotta, oh fuck I'm gonna explode! Please! Sou, please let me come!"

He peeked open an eye to catch a glimpse of Tasuki's face in that moment. "I'm gonna fill you up with my come, Tasuki." he sneered at him. "That's what you want, yes?" He rubbed the head of Tasuki's cock with his finger, keeping the tip pinned shut. "SAY IT!" He pounded into him hard.

Tasuki screamed; his blood felt like it was boiling in his veins. "Yes! Fill me! Give me all of it! Oh fuck! Please!" His arms were pinned, so he couldn't help himself find release. He had to depend on Sou to give him what he needed.

That was what he was waiting for. His eyes nearly glinted and the smirk widened. "Mmm, yes Tasuki. I'll give it all to you." He let himself go, speeding up the last thrusts and bringing himself to climax. "Oh Gods, I'm coming!" He growled, pushing the last bit of himself as deep as he could go. He released the tip of Tasuki's cock and pumped in time with his last thrusts.

Tasuki convulsed, spending his seed at long last into the water below him. Growling mews pulled from his lips as he felt Sou's cum filling him to the point of leaking out and dribbling down his thigh "Oh fuck! Y-yeah..." He sighed as the burning and pressure receded; he slumped forward to rest his head against the rim of the tub.

Sou wrapped an arm around Tasuki's waist, guiding him forward. He licked a trail up his spine and kissed his neck. "Remember that." He whispered into his ear and pulled out. Hot sticky liquid seeped out and down Tasuki's thigh. Sou got out of the bath, leaving Tasuki there to recover.

He threw on his cloths and tsked his tongue. "Tasuki, look at the mess you've made. Gods, that's going to be hell to clean up. " He smirked at the figure slumped on the rim of the tub. "Good luck, you wouldn't want the others to have to bathe in that filth do you?" He flicked his collar up and strolled out of the bathhouse.

Tasuki turned his head, watching through bleary eyes as Tamahome left. He raised himself up on his elbows and looked behind him at the water. A film of whitish liquid floated over the surface of the water, Tasuki groaned in dismay. He pulled himself out of the tub and growled. "The fuck was that? Tamahome, you fuckin' jerk! Leavin' me here to clean this up." he continued to grumble as he got to his feet. Unfortunately his knees buckled and he collapsed to the floor.

Growling- and slightly more than a little bruised- he drug himself to the lever that would dump the bath. He'd let the maids clean it up. He tried to get to his feet a second time, this time holding on to the wall to brace his weight as he tip toed to his discarded pants. If he hurt this bad now, how the hell was he going to be able to walk tomorrow?

Tasuki finally got dressed and back to his own room. He was aching everywhere. He wanted to see neither bathhouse nor bottle of sake for awhile. Both had caused him to have the most erotic, yet freaky experience he'd ever had.

He could almost write it off as sake induced fantasy. Then he plopped down on his bed and the stinging, throbbing, pain in his bottom shoved that idea right out of his head. Nothing could be as pleasurable, yet painful as that. Much as he enjoyed it, he was more than a little leery of Tamahome now. What would happen next time he saw him outside? Would he mention this in front of the others? Would he try it again?

Tasuki rolled to his side, drawing his knees to his chest. What was he going to do next time? Was there going to be a next time? What would he do if there were? He shook his head in an effort to get those thoughts out of his head.

All he could do was wait and see how fate folded things out; worrying and wondering were only going to make him insane.

The night passed rather uneventfully after the incident. Tamahome had left his room later that evening to finish the walk that he had started out on. He came to pause outside of Tasuki's door and leaned against the frame. Rustling sounds came from inside and he smirked to himself.

At least Tasuki wouldn't be able to sleep too. He pushed off of the wall and ended up back at his room. Tonight had made him feel much better; the screaming was silenced for a blessed few minutes.
