Sywren: Well, I would have had this done before, but it couldn't be helped. My muse, that let the bunny bite me, strangled it sporadically so this is what you got. A fanfic that runs kind of like the anime. Moving right along, bam, flashback to previous lives.

Sylence: She's just reaching for reasons to excuse her bad behavior and explain the void of time between posts.

Sywren: Do you want me to write this or not?

Sylence: Of course I do, I've been bugging you and bugging you for more Nightfall haven't I?

Sywren: Eh, yeah, anyway, I'm hoping to earn NC-17 by the end of this thingy. *smirks* I should reach it fairly easily, don't worry, but in the mean time, teasers may abound. Beware.


Both: And for those of you who are sticklers for this, we own nadda, except for the plotbunny and Nightfall. And no flames please, it's hot enough in the Midwest during summer.

Nightfall woke to the pleasant scent of sake, smoke, and sunshine; and the sight of a blond head tucked under his chin. The feel of warmth along the front of his body was also a pleasant experience. The fact that the blond was letting himself be held, even in sleep, was the best part of waking up with Sanzo in his arms. A few strands of hair brushed against the end of his nose as Sanzo began to wake up and move. The arms around his waist tightened slightly even as Sanzo's head tilted backwards just enough that violet eyes met midnight blue. Nightfall smiled at the sleepy look in Sanzo's eyes. Nightfall could feel Sanzo's mind resisting the urge to completely wake up even as Sanzo once again nuzzled his head under Nightfall's chin. Sanzo's soft breaths against his neck was about to relax him right back into sleep himself when he realized that Sanzo was awake and contemplating something. Before he could react he felt Sanzo's lips part against his neck and a curious tongue flicker across the sensitive skin there before Sanzo suddenly bit down and sucked gently. Nightfall's breath caught in his throat at this unexpected action and the feel of being marked by the one he loved most.

Nightfall felt Sanzo pull back and a moment later satisfaction flared through the blond's mind. Fingertips traced the area his mouth had previously covered and Nightfall shivered. Sanzo pulled away and got up. Nightfall watched him pull his robe on and place the scripture around his shoulders before getting out of bed himself. With a thought his outfit rearranged itself into a darker version of the clothes Sanzo wore under his robes. Sanzo shook his head and sent a brief mental touch to Nightfall before going to find breakfast.

Nightfall met him at the door and they walked down together to find Gojyo and Hakkai involved in turning Jien and Yaone different shades of red. Lirrin was too busy ordering the entire menu to pay attention to the two kiss. Well, make out at the table anyway. Nightfall claimed the last chair and Sanzo had just opened his mouth to protest when he was pulled onto the demon's lap. Feeling lean arms wrap around his waist he sighed and pulled out his newspaper. Putting on his glasses he opened it up and proceeded to ignore everyone at the table. When the food arrived, he began helping himself, much to Lirrin's dismay. Sanzo didn't care, neither did anyone else.

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

Kougaiji yawned and slowly came awake, feeling safe and very warm. Both were not normal ways that he was used to waking up. He also wasn't used to having a small, lithe body pressed against him either. When he remembered where he was and who was in bed with him he almost blushed as red as his hair. However, he found he was loathe to move and disturb the person pressed so trustingly against him. Gently one of his hands stroked through the soft brown hair, making the other blink slowly and open his eyes. Golden eyes met amethyst and a smile was shared between the two.

Kougaiji opened his mouth to say something, but it was soon forgotten as a warm and eager mouth claimed his in a kiss. His eyes closed and he was soon returning the kiss just as eagerly as he was being kissed. He vaguely heard a ripping noise and made a mental reminder to pay the staff for the ruined sheets.

Once Goku had enough room to maneuver he climbed on top of Kougaiji, pressing his body against the taller demon's. It felt so good to be this close to the other and he swore mentally to himself to try and make up for all the pain he had caused Kougaiji; even though the other didn't seem to be holding anything against him.

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

Not too long after breakfast Sanzo and Nightfall both decided that going out to the waterfall and hot springs again sounded like a good idea. Nightfall was already outside, waiting for Sanzo. He had found a sakura tree and was lying underneath it. Relaxing as petals and the scent of it swirled around him in the light breeze. Feeling Sanzo freeze for a moment and the flicker of deja vu run through his mind he looked up at the blond through his bangs. He watched as Sanzo's eyes fell shut and he started to fall forward. Nightfall barely caught him in time and brought him over to lie beside him under the Sakura tree.

He tried to stay awake and pay attention, but his connection with Sanzo drug him into the memories playing through the blond's head.
*****************************************************************

Nightfall was finding himself pretty non-impressed with the heavens. Considering he was a prisoner, he figured they weren't interested in impressing him. The problems with being a powerful demon he supposed. It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't have his wings bound by that infernal silver band that trapped the wingtips together in front of him. Giving him the appearance of wearing a cloak. His wings ached with the need to be stretched, released. However, glancing at the man leading him to the Merciful Goddess, he had a good idea it wouldn't be happening anytime soon. He had decided against hoping for it. Stupid sneaks, couldn't even fight him face to face, but had to wait until the sun had weakened him before taking him prisoner. The power limiters they'd tried to place on him hadn't worked at first, but when he'd tried to exercise his power they had flared to life. He was still silently cursing the objects in his mind. He had one band around his throat, one on each wrist, and a slender silver band around his head. They tried to force him to his knees in front of Konzen Botatsu, but didn't have any luck. His wings trapped around him like they were, he was not going to be forced to kneel. Instead Nightfall stood there, staring at Botatsu, silently daring her to do something to him. He felt wary however when all she did was smile at him.

"I like your spirit. Not going to kneel for just anyone are you?" Nightfall shook his head, and when he spoke to answer, his voice wrapped around the listeners like midnight.

"Not even if I could." he replied simply. He saw her eyes flick over the silver band around his wingtips and watch the slight shiver of his wings as they try to relax.

"I see." She glanced over her shoulder at the tall blond behind her who had been watching all of this fairly dispassionately. "Konzen, nephew, I will place him in your care. Take good care of him."

When the blond bristled with indignation, she simply smiled and shooed them both out of the audience chamber. Sighing Konzen ran a hand through his hair and looked up a couple of inches to meet Nightfall's eyes. Nightfall inclined his head in his version of a bow.

"My name is Konzen Douji." he said softly.

"My name is Nightfall, master." At his last word he saw Konzen arch an eyebrow. With a small smile he explained his choice of words.

"Since I am a prisoner here, and I have been given to you, it seems accurate. Konzen frowned slightly.


"I still don't like it." Nightfall's only reply was to shrug before following Konzen to his rooms. As he watched the blond walk ahead of him, he thought to himself that life might not be so bad up here after all.

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

Konzen sighs and looks out his window to where he can clearly see Nightfall. Despite what he may have told the Merciful Goddess, he seemed to have no problems with bending his wings. Nightfall is currently lying on his back underneath the sakura tree by his window. A butterfly perched on his outstretched hand, wings slowly beating back and forth. He watches as Nightfall notices his gaze and smiles at him briefly before going back to gazing at the butterfly.

"Lord Konzen Douji, do you have those documents done? I can take them for you." He hears an aide ask. He starts slightly, and stares at the documents he's barely started.


"No, I'll take them later. You're dismissed for the day." He says absently as he stands up. Not really considering where he's going to go. Nightfall has only been here a few months and Konzen found he was only getting increasingly distracted by him. He makes his way outside to Nightfall, with the vague idea that he'd ask him to move so he wouldn't be distracted. However, the sight that meets his eyes changes his mind. The pale man was sound asleep and the butterfly had moved to Nightfall's bangs. He knew that Nightfall hadn't been sleeping well, all the demon seemed to do was lay there and stare at the ceiling anytime he attempted to sleep.


And for some reason he finds himself loathe to wake him up now. He must have been standing here staring at Nightfall for a few minutes he muses to himself as Nightfall yawns in his sleep. Finding himself yawning as well, and not really thinking about his actions, he lies down beside Nightfall. Using the demon's stomach as a pillow, he joins Nightfall in a nap. Falling asleep to the sounds of Nightfall's soft breathing and the gentle splashes of water from the waterfall nearby.


Feeling Konzen's familiar presence beside him Nightfall opens his eyes just as the golden haired man falls asleep. Smiling a bit to himself he carefully reaches out and smooths back a few stray strands of hair from Konzen's face. Satisfied that the other man will be there for awhile, Nightfall let's himself relax back into sleep, dreaming of being free again; but this time, not alone.

The next day Konzen discovers he has the same problem as the day before. Nightfall outside his window, this time napping already and sakura petals scattered all over him. Once again he finds himself walking outside, the aide staring after his retreating form. Konzen sits down beside Nightfall, a hand reaching out to lightly pick up a sakura petal from where its resting on Nightfall's nose.

After picking up the petal, simply dropping it in Nightfall's hair, idly thinking he likes the contrast, he finds his hand moving back towards Nightfall. This time his hand heads seemingly of its own accord towards the silver band keeping Nightfall's wings together. It has no clasp, but he doesn't need one to remove it. As soon as his fingers close on it he gives a light tug and it comes free. He looks at the simple looking band in his hand, and feeling vaguely disturbed by the feel of it he considers tossing it into the lake. He shakes his head, not liking the idea of what someone might use it for if he just left it lying around. Putting it in a hidden pocket he discovers that it doesn't affect him through his clothing. Feeling eyes on him he glances at Nightfall's face. He resists the urge to smile at the shocked look on the demon's face.

"But...why?" Nightfall asks as he sits up, wings spreading to either side of him.

Konzen shrugs, "I'm not quite sure myself actually. I..my hand just moved by itself.." Nightfall suddenly smiles dazzlingly at him. Before Konzen could help himself he was leaning towards Nightfall. He was aware of the surprise in Nightfall's body, even as a pale hand came up to lightly press against the back of his neck. He let the other tilt his head slightly and in a moment Nightfall's lips were pressing softly against his. It was just a simple kiss, but he felt as if he was going to melt just from that....
