********************************************************

When every moment gets too hard
The end of the road can feel so far
No matter how much time we're apart
I'm always near you

Chichiri walked wearily along the dusty dirt road, with his kasa pulled low over his face to help block out the harshness of the suns rays. He took in a deep breath and coughed out the dust, turning his head sideways as he did so. Looking closely he saw a river through the foliage of the trees. Leaning on his staff he walked through the few trees and knelt down by the river, his staff jingling as he dropped it on the grass. Scooping hand fulls of water he finally started to feel in a bit better spirits but still he couldn't get his mind off how he and Tasuki had last parted. They had, had a fight about Chichiri not wanting to tell of his past and it ended with the bandit gathering up his clothes and stalking off into the night. Getting up he started walking back towards the road and then thinking better of it he sat under the shade of a tree to mull over how lonely he had felt this last year without Tasuki constantly at his side. He missed the orange haired bandit's loud brashness, quick smile, stubborn will, and fidgety nature. But most of all he missed the warmth that they would share each night after the campfire had went down. He quickly brought himself back to the present, picking up his staff Chichiri drug himself to his feet and continued down the long road.

As he walked along, with his black Tai Chi shoes stirring up the dust with each step he took, he couldn't help but how much he really did want to see Tasuki, they had shared so much. More than what most men share and he couldn't let that go. It had been nagging at him as he had traveled through out the four empires this last year. He had to go see Tasuki there was no other way. Sensing something he looked up and stopped in his tracks pushing his kasa back so that it hung down his back Chichiri watched as a figure walked towards him, could it be? His heart hoped and thus he watched the person intently, with their long coat flapping behind them, for they had set a brisk pace, fluffly unruly hair waving madly, and a tessen strapped to their back.

Once the person came closer they waved, "OI! Chichiri!"

Chichiri beamed under his mask, "OI! Tasuki-kun, no da!" he cried happliy walking quickly towards him.

Once they met up the enveloped eachother in a warm embrace, "It's be'n too long, Chiri." the bandit said softly. He stepped back and looked the other seishi up and down with a frown that suddenly split into a big grin, "Ya haven' changed a bit."

All Chichiri could do was nod for he was overcome with joy at meeting up with feiry man. Finally finding his voice he said softly, "Neither have you, no da."

Tasuki's smiled suddenly slipped away and he looked down at his boot as his toe dug into the dirt, "Um...I'm really sorry, Chiri. I didn' mean ta be gone this long."

Chcihiri put his hand on the man's shoulder comfortingly, "Don't worry about it Tasuki-kun, no da," he said cheerfully, "All that matters is that you're here now, na no da." he paused a moment, "Besides you traveled with me in spirit, no da."

Tasuki looked up from the ground and smiled again, "I could feel ya with me too." his fangs stuck out a bit.

I'll be the shelter in you rain
Help you to find your smile again
I'll make you laugh at a broken heart
Wherever you are

The two decided to make camp along the river, that was still visible through the trees.

Chichiri put his staff on the ground, "I'll catch supper and why don't you..."

Tasuki interreupted the mage, "I know. You don't hafta tell me. I remember." he shot a lopsided grin at the monk, his amber eyes raking down the lean body.

Chichiri blushed a bit under his mask and nodded. Pulling a fishing pole out of his kasa he sat down cross legged at the edge of the river and dropped his line in the water. As he waited for a fish to bite he couldn't help but smiled under his mask as he heard Tasuki cursing loudly about getting wapped in the face with a branch. Finally catching a couple of fish Chichiri got up and walked back to the spot they had set for a campsite. A fire was burning brightly helping Chichiri find his way as dusk started setting in.

Coming up Chichiri sat down. Tasuki smiled at the blue haired seishi and then made a face, "Fish again?"

Chichiri chuckled, "Hai, no da! That is unless you prefer to eat tree bark, no da."

The bandit made a face and then burst out laughing at their familiar argument about what was for dinner.

Chichiri chuckled as well as he put the fish on pointed sticks, that he pulled out of his hat, and rested them on rocks near the fire so that they could slowly cook.

The two sat in silence for a while. Taking his tessen out of its holder Tasuki started to fidget a bit and then deciding to just get it over with he blured, "Chichiri, why won't you tell me about how ya got that scar?" he looked up from messing with the tessen, one fang poked out of his mouth in a pout.

Chichiri ignored the question by turning the fish over and then by pretending digging in his kasa for something. His face unreadable because of the mask.

Tasuki growled, "Dammit, Chichiri!"

They sat in silence again with Tasuki more fidgeting than ever. And Chichiri sitting as still and quiet as ever. Tension was think in the air. Finally after a few more moments Chichiri decided that the fish was cooked well enough, "Here eat your fish, no da." picking up the sticks he handed on to Tasuki and then kept one for himself.

Excepting the fish Tasuki ate it hungrily, keeping his eye on the monk as he ate his own fish. After each one was done and had thrown the reamins in the fire Tasuki sat for a moment and then gave another stab at it, "So what happened that gave ya that scar?" he asked not looking up this time.

Chichiri sighed as he looked at Tasuki. The eternal smile of the mask with more a worried look. "I don't want you to think any less of me, no da." he said in his low tone of voice.

Tasuki looked up at him feircely, "I would never think any less of you for any reason," he said with conviction.

Sighing Chichiri removed his mask and gazed at Tasuki for a long time with his one chocolate brown eye, "Alright, I'll tell you demo why do you want to know?" his no da's were suddenly missing from his speech.

Tasuki smiled baring his fangs and then got a thoughtful frown, "'Cause it bothers me ta know that yer carying aroun' somthin' that's obiviously very painful. I mean hell why else would ya wear that mask."

Chichiri smiled a half empty smile, "It probably is time that I share it with someane anyway." he took a deep breath and look at the firery haired bandit," where to start," he murmured.

Tasuki layed down leaning on an elbow, "Jus' take yer time, Chiri."

Chichiri nodded solemnly and looked into the flames of the fire, his eye glazed over a bit as he let himself remember, "I had a fiance once, her name was Kouran," almost smiled at the thought of his bride to be, "but I once saw Hikou kissing her and..." he stopped trying to get a hold of himself.

Getting up Tasuki sat down beside Chichiri and touched his shoulder gently, "It's okay, Chiri. I'm here for ya."

Chichiri looked up at Tasuki appreciatively and nodded, "I totally lost my head. I went crazy with jealously and rage." he took a deep breath, "I confronted him on bank of the river, it was raining and floods were coming but I didn't care. I lunged at him with the knife I hidden in my belt after we had yelled. Hikou ended up stepping to close to the river and fell in. The bank couldn't hold his weight. I dropped the knife and grabbed his hand but a log came and got me in the left eye. I couldn't hold on and I should have! I shouldn't have let go just because of the pain..." he wept bitterly at himself.

Tasuki took his friend in his arms and ran his hand through the soft blue bangs soothingly, "It wasn't yer fault, Chiri."

Chichiri nodded feircely, "Hai, it was! It's my fault he died and the rest of them."

"The rest of them?"

He took a shuddery breath, "Hai, Kouran and my family, If I wouldn't have been fighting with Hikou. I could've saved them."

Tasuki took hold of Chichiri's chin and looked him in the eye feircely, "That's really sad demo, ya shouldn' let it eat away like it does." His gaze softened to one of carrying.

Chichiri buried his face in his friend's shoulder, "I can't help it. It's my fault. I killed them." he then leaned back quickly to look Tasuki in the eye, "You don't hate me for what I did, do you?" his eye had a fearful look in it.

Tasuki once again took hold of Chichiri's chin, and shook his head, "baka," he said softly, "There's not a thing in the world that ya could do that would make me hate ya." his eyes were full of love, "Wo ai ni, Chiri."

The monk looked uncertain, "Hontou?"

Tasuki nodded, "I always will." he traced the line of his koi's jaw, "I'm hear if ya ever have need of me, Chiri, dontchya ever ferget it." he leaned in to seal his promise with a soft sweet kiss.

Chichiri's eye drifted closed relishing in Tasuki's words and the wamrth of his lips.

'Cause I'm never gonna walk away
If the walls come down someday
All almone and you feel afraid
I'll be there when you call my name
You can always depend on me
I believe until forever ends
I will be your friend

When the kiss finally broke off Tasuki nibbled on the blue haired seishi's ear and whipsered, "I won't ever leave ya agin. This last year has been torcher fer me." he leaned back and looked at Chichiri's body intensely rememorizing his muschles and lines.

Chichiri smiled a real smile this time at his koi, "I have missed you too. There hasn't been a day of my traveling that I hadn't wished that you were physically by my side." he let his hand rub the other seishi's neck soothingly.

Tasuki's eyes drifted close as Chichiri rubbed his neck, "hmmm...Chiri..." he moaned.

"I'll always be there for you, Tas-kun. Just like you are when I need you most. Promise me that we'll always be together?" his eye searched the bandit's face.

"Hai, we will fer sure, koi." he gave Chichiri a lazy fanged grin, "Now enough talk!" he growled suddenly coming to life. He grabbed Chichiri's shoulders and gave him a hot kiss, "I'll show ya how much I really don' care what ya did to get that scar and how much I really love you." He moved his tongue gently against Chichiri's lips and was granted entrance.

The monk moaned in pleasure at both the words and what Tasuki was doing to him. He moved his tongue and tangled it with Tasuki's making them slide heatedly against each other as they battled to show how much they really did love each other.

When the kiss finally broke both men were breathless but there eyes held lust and hunger. Tasuki easily unclasped Chichiri's kesa making it fall from his shoulder. Then he set to work on the monk's shirt, deftly undoing the laces. He pushed the cloth of the man's shoulders and ran his hands appreciatively over the monk's hard flat chest, making Chichiri moan with pleasure.

Moving his arms Chichiri freed himself of his shirt and pulled Tasuki's coat off, then let his own fingers undo the laces of the badnit's shirt. His eye greedily took in the younger man's more muscled chest. Letting the shirt fall to the ground he leaned in at took one of Tasuki's nipples in his mouth, sucking hotly.

The bandit cried out in pleasure as Chichiri's warm mouth engulfed his nipple, making him still his hands on the monk's chest.

Making little circles with his tongue around the little nub and then bit on it gently. He quickly soothed the hurt with his tongue. Then leaving that nipple he assualted the other much as he did the first.

Tasuki moaned, "Chiri...Suzaku...I've missed you..." he moved his hand to twist the mage's own nipple making him cry out in surprise at the sensation that was sent through is body. Tasuki took the opportunity to push the slighter man back so that he was on top. Leaning down he licked the crevices of Chichiri's ear and nibbled the lobe, knowing it would drive the other man crazy at the lightness of his touch.

Chichiri squirmed in frustration wanting more than just the lightest of touches. Moving his head he captured the red head's lips in his own for a kiss as he moved his hands back to the wonderful expanse that was Tasuki's chest. Running his hands down the to the man's abdomen he teased at the top of his partner's waistband.

Tasuki moaned into Chichiri's moouth and broke the kiss to lick his way down the monk's neck and back up to his scar. Chichiri flinched as he first touched it but Tasuki held him firmly, "It's nothing to be ashamed of," he stated kissing it and then covering the blue haired seishi's mouth before there could be a protest.

Chichiri closed his eye and sighed contentedly at the kiss, almost glad that the bandit hadn't given him time to protest. Finally his wandering hands found the tie of Tasuki's pants undoing them he teased around the bandit's growing erection.

Tasuki growled in pleasure and frustration at Chichiri's teasing. Breaking the kiss he pulled off his boots and then his pants, now fully naked in front of his lover, who was appreciatively taking in the hard muschles of Tasuki's body as well as the erection that was getting harder.

Kicking off his own shoes Chichiri reached up and played with Tasuki's nipple, running his hand down to the man's waist he stopped and let it drop back to his side with a sly smile.

"Oh so that's the way it's going ta be." the bandit smirked as he undid the ties of Chichir's pants and slowly drew them off the long legs exposing the other man's own growing erection. Ignoring the other man's heat he nibbled on his inner thigh instead using his fangs to lightly rake against the skin and his tongue to sooth the sting.

The monk writhed in pleasure, "Tasuki..." he moaned his lover's name huskily. His hands stilled at their task as the bandit drove him crazy with desire, "hmmm...." he moaned more in frustration than anything.

Slowly the bandit moved up to Chichiri's hard erection. Taking it in his hand brushed the tip lightly making the monk cry out and buck hips. Then removing his hand Tasuki engulfed the mage with his mouth moving the man's length in and out slowly as one hand and toyed with the swollen sacs. As Chichiri started to respond by thrusting his hips up and nearly choking Tasuki the bandit took the other arm to keep Chichiri from moving.

He moaned in pleasure as his koi engulfed him in the warmth wetness of his mouth but almost growled when Tasuki stilled his hips but it was quickly replaced with moans of pleasure as the other man plyaed with his sacs. He had a driving need to not let that warmth leave and thus wrapped his hands in the firery hair of Tasuki's, pushing the bandits head down.

Tasuki smirked at the pressure on his head and resisted it easily, seeing as how the other seishi was too far gone with pleasure to have much strenght.

"Tasuki-kun, I can't..." he panted, "hold on much longer..."

Hearing the strained note in his koi's voice Tasuki replaced his mouth with his hand, "Come fer me, like ya always do, Chiri." he pleaded. Just then he could feel the mage's body spasm as his seed shot out. Cupping his hands Tasuki caught all that he could. Leaning forward he kissed the blue haired man tenderly, "Now fer the real fun." he chuckled and then moaned in pleasure as he anointed his shaft with the milky liquid.

Chichiri finally came back from the wings of pleasure and smiled at Tasuki's comment and watched the bandit as his eyes closed while rubbing the slipperly semen on his erection. His eye lit up a bit as Tasuki dipped three fingers in the rest of the liquid. Feeling a finger at his entrance he spread his legs farther apart to grant his koi better access to the spot he craved touch the most. He moaned as Tasuki worked the fingers into his body until all three were embedded. He cried out in dismay as they left, making him feel empty.

Tasuki smirked with lust at his koi's reaction and positioned his erection at his lover's entrance, "Ready, Chiri?" he leaned forward and whispered into the seishi's ear. Getting an affirmative Tasuki slowly pushed himself inside his lover's body reveling in the tight warmth as it surrounded his heat.

Chichiri moaned with pleasure as Tasuki filled him, "I've felt so empty for so long, no da..." he breathed huskily, his own erection becoming hard once again.

Tasuki nodded, "Hai, it's been to damn long..." he growled as Chichiri wrapped his legs around his waist impaling him to the base. He stilled all movement for a moment just to relish in the warmth that was Chichiri. He smiled teasingly at the monk as he squirmed trying to get the bandit to move. Fianlly unable to take it any longer Tasuki started a driving rhythym unable to keep it slow, for his body had went too long with out this.

Chichiri raised his hips to meet Tasuki on each incoming thrust and cried out pleasurably as the angle of the thrusts changed and hit a sweeter spot with in his body. He then felt Tasuki's hand on his own erectiong pumping it up and down his length in time with their thrusts, which were growimg in speed as each needed that release. Finally Tasuki cried out as he let his seed loose inside Chichiri's body, which sent Chichiri into his own orgasm, his own seed covering their stomachs.

So many people come and go
But nothing can change and you I know
You'll never be just a face in the crowd
And time will show

Breathing heavily and sweating Tasuki slowly with drew himself from Chichiri's body and nesteld in the monk's arms. Both of them laid there just reveling in the other's closeness after such a long abscence.

"Ne, Tas-kun, no da?"

"hmmm...Nani?" Tasuki said sleepily, now content.

"Are you sure that we'll always be together, no da?" Chichiri was still worried about what Tasuki thought of him after telling the bandit of his past.

The firery haired bandit raised himself up leaning on his elbows, "What makes ya ask, Chiri?" a note of concern in his voice, "I don' care how many lovers ya've had or anthing like that. I plan on spending the rest of my life with ya. That is.." he paused, "If ya will let me."

Chichiri layed there and shrugged, "I don't know, no da." he sighed, "I just.." he took a breath, "After what I told you..."

The bandit cut him off, "I said it don' matter," he growled, "I love ya anways."

Chichiri still felt doubtful, not of Tasuki's love for he could see that the badnit meant it, but more of himself. He was still afraid of loving Tasuki even though he already did, for what if something happened to the bandit. What would he do then, "I don't have any other lovers expcet you," he said suddenly, commenting on the other seishi's words. He was determined to keep it that way, for Tasuki was the only other one who had loved him since Kouran and he needed that. But time will show how much we mean to each other, he looked into the amber eyes of Tasuki and smiled, "Tas-kun, wo ai ni," he said the sacred phrase huskilly for he REALLY meant it. He loved Tasuki no matter how much he was afraid to. So instead of being afraid he was going to just let himself do it.

The bandit reached out and rubbed his koi's cheek. His gaze was soft and a bit watery, "You really said that with conviction that time, Chiri," he rasped.

Chichiri nodded, "Hai..." he breathed deeply taking in the scent of what they had jsut done, "That's because I really do, Tasuki-kun. I.." he licked his lips, "I won't be afraid anymore, no da."

Tasuki smiled showing his fangs, "I'm glad ta hear that, Chiri." He kissed him passionately on the lips drawing back he said with all his heart, "Wo ai ni, koi." he kissed him again.

Through the seasons and the years
I will always hold you dear
never you fear

Chichiri brought his arms up and hugged Tasuki to him breaking off the kiss, "I'll never let go of you, Tas-kun. Not like I did Hikou. I promise."

Tasuki drew back a bit and searched Chichiri's face to see how much he really meant it. He slowly smiled, a fang sticking out of one lip, "An' I won' let ya." He nibbled Chichiri's ear teasingly making the other man moan.

"Hmmmm....Tasuki...so soon?"

Tasuki chuckled, "I told ya it's been way too damn long, Chiri." he rubbed the monk's chest with teaslingly as his hand found a nipple his rolled the nub back and forth in his fingers.

Chichiri moaned louder, feeling his body to start to respond, "hmmm....more.."

I'll be around when every candle burns down low
And I want you to know

Tasuki grinned, "I knew ya couldn't resist me." he replaced his hand with is mouth, suckly hotly. The monk moaned more and squirmed under the ministrations of his koi. Bringing his hands up he lifted Tasuki's head so that he could looked into the bandit's amber eyes, "Iie, I want to show you how much I love you, koi."

Tasuki got a surprised look on his face, never had Chichiri been this forward when they made love but he liked it. Laying down he stretched out, "Alright then set ta work." he smirked up at the mage, who was now sitting up and taking in Tasuki's body.

"With pleasure, no da." Chichiri's gaze was full of lust and hunger as he set about to please his lover as much as his lover pleased him. Using some of the same tricks that Tasuki used on him Chichiri also made up a few of his one which drove the bandit absolutely crazy.

The fire was now just hot coals as Chichiri continued his dance of pleasing his lover and shown with a red light as the two once again made love, to show that they will always be friends and much more, not just now but forever.
