In the heat of the night _2
by Sonya
Greece is known for its lovely ancient architecture. Many tourists come to brave the searing heat to get a glimpse of these Temples of the days of ancient philosophers, a time where gods walked the Earth. Unknown to most of those who visit, the gods are still pretty much in the picture.
"Blessed Athena...` puffed a blond haired man. `What heat!..."
A dark haired youth, smirked at him. "I thought you were used to it." As he looked at his companion, people around them could see they were both very handsome. The dark-haired youth had a scar on his face and looked a little more wild than his companion, who seemed to breathe peace.
"I`m usually not in a crowded town in this kind of heat." The blond replied, he used a tourist pamphlet to fan himself. "Why did I agree to this?"
"Because, you thought it was a good idea to start with. You thought it was good for me to learn about the past..." The dark haired youth took pity on him and stopped to get some ice cream. "Shaka... What flavor do you want?"
"Peach or mango... or anything with a fruit flavor." Replied Shaka.
Ikki nodded and returned with a cone of dubious pink color. "They only had strawberry" As he gave the cone to his friend, he himself licked a chocolate flavored one.
Shaka licked the ice cream and made a face. "They say this is supposed to be strawberries?" It tasted more like chemicals to him and he doubted this product ever touched a strawberry.
Ikki savored his ice cream then noted Shaka`s face. He sighed and took the ice cream from him and gave him his chocolate flavored cone.
Shaka blinked. "But... You licked it!"
"So?... What`s the problem?" Ikki started to lick the strawberry flavored ice cream instead.
"So... People saw you... I can`t..." started Shaka as he looked at the dripping cone.
"No one cares, Shaka... Now eat it or else I`ll eat both of them..."
Shaka frowned a little but tasted the ice cream. It was mellow and sweet, much better than the other one. The blond wasn`t used to having people tell him what he should do. As he was growing up, all attended to his needs. When he became a Saint, he did whatever he wished. Ikki was a welcomed addition to his life, but sometimes...
"Ikki I don`t like it when you act this way..."
The dark haired looked at him with puzzled deep blue eyes. "What?... What did I do?"
Shaka continued to lick his ice cream. "You`re acting with me as though I was Shun... I could have eaten that ice cream you know..."
Ikki blinked. "Well... You looked like you didn`t want to touch it with a 10 foot pole... I just thought you`d enjoy chocolate better instead..."
"I`m not your younger brother..." Shaka puffed. He didn`t know why he felt so annoyed, was it the heat? Frustration? He couldn`t pinpoint it but it did make him a little harsh.
"I know that..." Ikki bent next to Shaka and whispered in his ear. "I do things with you I`d never dream do with my ototo..." The Hindu shivered and briefly wondered if it was because Ikki`s breath was cooled by the frozen confection or the sexual innuendo. The dark haired youth noted Shaka`s reaction and spied a nearby couple. "Maybe then... We could do like them..."
Shaka followed his gaze to a couple, a man and a woman who were having different flavors of ice cream and who sampled regulary the ice cream of the other. They also hung themselves very close to one another. It was almost indecent, thought Shaka. but no one seemed to care, like Ikki had pointed out earlier.
The blond did blush though. "We can`t do that!"
Ikki had a dangerous smile on his lips, his eyes had a certain sparkle to them. He licked the ice cream, looking at Shaka, letting his tongue hang out longer than was needed. "Why not?" he asked.
Shaka felt the heat increase, he looked away blushing. "Because, we`re in a public place and I don`t want to attract more attention than needed."
"Who said anything about doing that in public?..." Ikki laughed and taking his hand, he took Shaka around a corner and into an alcove.
Shaka followed frowning. "You`re doing it again! Why don...ooof.." Shaka didn`t finish because he was now pressed against the wall. He looked at Ikki angrily and his breath was just cut short.
Ikki had lifted both his ice cream and Shaka`s own to the height of their mouth. Both confections dripped, but Shaka`s ice cream has started to melt on his finger. The blond gasped when Ikki licked his fingers to get them clean.
`Come on... Aren`t you hungry?` asked Ikki before licking both ice creams on his side.
Shaka didn`t know what came over him but he started to do the same. They both looked at each other as they licked. Shaka gasped as Ikki pressed his hips closer to his. The blond realized that both his and Ikki`s member started to get hard.
As if they answered to an unasked question they both licked the ice cream then with their tongue still extended they kissed, tasting each other`s ice cream. When they broke the kiss, Ikki was licking the side of Shaka`s mouth, cleaning it. He pulled back and then did something that pooled even more heat between Shaka`s legs.
Ikki took the melting strawberry ice cream into his mouth and pulled up. The malleable sweet had just becomed very phallic and Ikki started to lick it like he did when he licked Shaka`s hardness. His tongue flicking the top.
Shaka tossed both ice creams away, then grabbed Ikki behind the neck and kissed him hard, his tongue going deep in the youth's mouth. Ikki returned the kiss in full. It fuelled Shaka`s passion even more as the tall blond lifted one of his legs and wrapped it around Ikki`s. The Gold Saint`s hands were all over Ikki and he moaned as he felt the youth slipping his hands into his hair.
But the moment was cut short when they both were drenched in cold water and a rather heavy dark robed woman started to scream at them in Greek. She clutched a cross and shook an accusing finger at them. Shaka was so embarrassed he couldn`t make out half of what she said, but the words indecent and bitch came back a lot.
Ikki barked back at her and it spooked her just enough to permit the young Saint to exit with Shaka in tow. They jumped in the first crowded bus and headed back to Sanctuary. The bus was so full they got separated, Shaka was so ashamed that he exited the bus before it reached their stop and he teleported back at the Entrance of Sanctuary. He quickly ran up the steps and without stopping to say hello at any other Saint, he engulfed himself into his Temple.
**********************************
Mean while back in Japan, Jabu and Saori were drinking some lemonade. The young man was trying to forget what he saw either and tried to make his preoccupation Saori, his goddess, the woman he would die for, the woman he...
"Jabu..." Saori started. "Tell me do you believe in reincarnation?"
Jabu blinked. "Er... well I guess I do. I can't be sure. You are a reincarnation are you?"
Saori nodded. " I am Athena. Also I am human, long ago I decided to let go of my goddess body so I could come back to Earth and protect humanity."
"Saori-san..." Jabu interupted her. " Ano... Athena-sama, why did you do that?"
"Gods are fickle creatures. They live for so long, they forget just how precious life is. They forget that they too were born, that they can die." Saori took another sip. "I choose not to forget Jabu. Do you understand? I choose to die so I could celebrate life at each of my reincarnations."
Jabu felt at awe in her, even more than before. "How many times?"
"I usually get reincarnated every 250 years... so since the Beginning. I have kind of lost track of the count. Maybe 60, 70 times?"
Jabu's eyes went wide. "Is... I mean, are you always like Kido Saori?"
"My past lives are like half-remembered memories. But I think that the main part of my personality kept the change. Although there have been differences, in a few lifetimes I was a lesbian..."
Boom!
Saori blinked. "Ano... Jabu-san? Are you all right?"
Jabu literally fell off his chair, he quickly returned to his seat rather embarrased. "Ah er... Well I... I see, well I can understand that you would I mean..." He started to stammer.
Saori chuckled softly. "Jabu, I did say a few lifetimes... That doesn't include this one."
"So you're not a lesbian?" He started then facevaulted. "NOT that it concerns me or should be my business anyway!" He blushed.
Saori smiled at him. "No, I am not, not at all. Jabu, would you like some more lemonade? You spilled your glass all over yourself."
Jabu hung his head in shame. "Hai, please."
"If you're not tired... I'd like to talk some more with you."
"Tired me?... No not even, I feel a little weird though like..."
"Energized?" she countered.
Jabu puzzled looking at her. "Yes... Exactly."
***********************************************
Shaka stood before his books, they were on philosophy, buddhism and other spiritual manner. Books that were given to him by his Master. But there was one book that was special among them, one which was sealed, on the paper that hid its content, his Master had wrote one single instruction:
"Read this book, when you cannot find an answer in all the other books. One day, you will need it."
One of the powers of his Master was precognition. That meant that, he could tell the future. When he was younger, Shaka had many times asked him about his future. But his Master merely smiled and never answered in a manner that satisfied him as a child.
Shaka looked longly at the sealed book. What was he feeling lately with Ikki? It was love, he knew that. But lately, he was ashamed at his own actions. He lusted for his lover, the day before, he had entered the shower where Ikki was cleaning himself and he just...
He lost control of his own body, all he wanted was Ikki. To hear him moan, to see his face twist as he came. His body took control as it wanted Ikki to possess him, to kiss and lick him intimately. He woke up at night with desire and once more his body made him do these things until it was sated.
Shaka was a little afraid of his reactions. Was he going to loose all his training, just because of this irrisistable lust? Was it okay for him to have a relationship?
Ikki didn't help clear his mind. The youth had been downright incendiary in the last few days. As if echoing his own lust, Ikki had done things to make Shaka go crazy. Like the ice cream incident earlier. The tight jeans he wore, the t-shirts that molded his body like a second skin, his mouth that was so hot.
Shaka shook his head, his damn body was doing it again. Determined to know what was wrong with him, he looked for his books. But alas, none of them helped, he lost hope two days ago after looking through them again.
No his sole salvation might lie in the mysterious book his mentor left him so many years ago.
He ripped the seal of the book and gasped.
"No... He's not serious... Is he?"
The book he had in his hands was called: Kama Sutra (Aphorisms on Love)
***********************************************
Ikk i sighed when he glimpsed Shaka getting off the bus. Maybe I shouldn`t have done that, he thought, but I couldn`t help myself, lately I`ve been so... frisky. Frisky wasn`t the word, both he and Shaka had multiplied the occasions and the excuses to make love in the last few days. Both of them were restless.
Ikki first thought it was because they had been parted a while. The Phoenix Saint almost was afraid to go back to Sanctuary when he set out to meet back with Shaka. He was afraid the Virgo Saint wouldn`t see of a good eye a reunion, since he was supposed to stay on guard in his Temple. But Shaka had been more than happy and they barely made it to the bedroom.
Ikki blushed remembering when he heard a small laugh. He blinked and looked around, he was standing up in the bus because there was no place for him. As he looked he heard the giggle again.
"Hoku-chan... Shhhh... It`s not polite!"
Someone had just spoken in japanese, Ikki looked down and saw 2 pairs of almost identical eyes looking back up at him. He knew right away that the twins before him were not identical, for one was a boy and the one giggling was a girl.
"Mou!" The girl pouted. "It`s not like he can understand us!"
"Still, would you like that if he did the same to you?" asked the boy, he seemed calmer and more mature than his sister.
The girl looked at Ikki then embarrassed she looked down. "No..." she admitted.
Ikki laughed, both children looked up in alarm at him. Ikki cleared his throat then said. "You`d better listen to your brother, you never know who might listen in to your conversation."
"YATTA!" Said the girl. "You speak japanese like us!"
"You see... I told you he looked Japanese..." said her brother.
"Okay, okay... You were right." She turned to Ikki. "Onisan... Are you on vacation?"
The boy next to her blushed. "Hoku-chan... That`s none of your business."
"Buuuuuut.." She girl whined. "He`s the first person who understand us... I`m so bored!" She turned her attention back to Ikki expecting a response.
"Errrr... Well, yes and no, I have business here but I`m also trying to have a good time." admitted Ikki.
"You should take example on him, Suba-chan!" the girl scolded her twin. "You are too serious..."
"But!..." Started the boy as Ikki chuckled at their antics. It did remind him sometimes of the way he and Shun would argue sometimes. But his chuckles stopped when the bus started to veer and jerk him around. He instantly knew something was amiss, people started to scream, the bus veered once more, the breaks were applied in an urgent manner. Ikki gripped a bar as he felt people rush forward because of the sudden stop. He strained and was able to stay where he was.
He heard a high shrill and saw that the twins were starting to slide to the front of the bus. Ikki didn`t think but acted, he used his free arm to gather both children to him and braced himself. The children hung to him as they were frightened. It was over fast as the bus impacted on something. Ikki could feel people being tossed around, he could hear the windows breaking, some people yelling out in pain. Then all became very still.
Then he could hear sobbing, some people spooked because they had blood on them, others realizing they were cut, some more moaning in pain and others still praying to their gods they did make it out of it alive.
The children in his arms started to cry and be upset. As soon as Ikki let them down, they rushed to a woman which was among those wounded.
"Nana-san... Nana-san!" they cried. Ikki went to see if the woman was still alive, she was but she most likely was unconscious. He turned around to see if anyone else needed help when he felt the two children clinging to his legs.
"ONISAN!!! Don`t leave us alone!" Ikki froze. The young boy`s voice was so much like Shun when they got separated so long ago. He took the crying children in his arms, already outside there was a commotion, people were rushing in to help them get out of the bus. The Phoenix Saint got out with the children and placed them under the shade of an olive tree. He turned around but the children clung to him.
"No... Don`t go!..." they sobbed, frightened.
Ikki sighed and kneeled to them. "There are a lot of people who need help." He told them. "I have to help them and there`s your nanny too, she needs help."
The boy wiped his eyes. "We understand... We`ll stay here..."
Ikki nodded. "Bright boy... Stay here, my name is Ikki, if someone tries to take you away, call me as loud as you can okay?" The children nodded. "Good... Now I won`t be gone too long. I`ll get your nanny and help the people there... I`ll be back for you..."
The twins had calmed down and huddled together, Ikki satisfied that they had no visible injury went back to the bus. He helped get the wounded out, the ambulances were arriving when he heard someone cry out that the driver was trapped.
Ikki went to see and the poor man has the steering wheel of his bus shoved into his abdomen. He had trouble breathing and his lips were starting to get blue. Two men were trying to free him but the metal refused to move. Ikki concentrated and focused his cosmo, the man wild veering has saved them from going down a cliff, he didn`t deserve to die here.
"Let me try..." He said calmly. The two men looked up at him, their initial reaction was to rebuke him but they couldn`t. They didn`t know why but they felt the young man who just stopped them could move it. They didn`t argue and stepped back.
"I`ll get you out... Hold on okay?" The bus driver weakly nodded and Ikki took a deep breath, he willed his cosmo to flare inside him and prayed he had the strength to move to free the man. As the paramedics arrived, they gasped as they saw Ikki pulling at the steering wheel as if it was hardened taffy. Later, they would explain the feat as a rush of adrenalin of a young man who didn`t wish the bus driver to die.
Ikki`s arms trembled as he finished pulling and got the man out. The man blessed him, Ikki told him to breath, no thanks were necessary. Dazed, he felt the other patting his back and shoulders in appreciation.
"IKKI-SAN! ONISAN!!!!" Ikki stood to attention immediately and ran to the children. He saw a few policemen trying to get the children to follow them. Ikki was able to calm the children and explained to the police officers that they were with their nanny when the accident happened.
The children clung again to Ikki and the police officers thought it would be better if Ikki took care of the children until they could figure out where their parents were. Ikki and the children were put in a police car and they followed the ambulance who carried the nanny to the nearest hospital.
"Ikki-san... Will Nana-san be all right?" They asked him.
"Of course... She might be sick for a while. But I am sure she will be okay." said Ikki as they arrived at the hospital.
******************************************************** ******
Ikki puffed, the twins were finally asleep. He looked at the clock, it had been 4 hours since the accident and the police was still trying to find the twins` parents. Both of them rested against him, one on each side, Ikki was starting to wonder if Shaka was wondering where he was. He was staring to wonder if they would trust the kids to his care when he saw a group of people walking towards him.
The group was made of police officers and japanese people. Ikki briefly wondered why they were all dressed in traditional japanese clothing. Among them was an old woman, Ikki felt something about her, power. He gulped as she looked straight at him as if she was able to see right through him, as if all his secrets were bared for her.
The young boy stirred and looked up. "GRANDMOTHER!!" He yelled and rushed to meet with her.
She smiled and petted his hair, looking relieved he was okay. She told him a few things, Ikki couldn`t understand as the girl stirred. She too rushed to her grandmother and was received with the same joy. The old woman then conversed with the others who came with her and walked to Ikki.
She bowed and Ikki got up and bowed in return. "Our clan gives you thanks..." She trailed off, he realized she wanted his name.
"Kido Ikki..." Was the first thing that popped into mind, he didn`t remember the name of his family all he could retain was his name, Kido was as good as was needed.
The woman raised an eyebrow as if the name rang a memory in her. "Our clan gives you thanks, Kido-san." She reprised. "We are forever grateful to you that you made sure our heir was unharmed."
Heir? Thought Ikki, who did she mean? But when he saw the attention lavished on the boy, he realized it was him. "It was nothing... I just did what anyone else would have..."
"You are too modest." The old woman said. A man gave her a sealed scroll. "If you are ever in need, please contact us... We may yet help you at a later date. Please accept this. If you are ever in need, or if something out of the ordinary happens to you, feel free to contact us. We may yet help at a later date. Again, I thank you for protecting my grandchildren." She gave the sealed scroll to Ikki and bowed before taking her leave she added. "We have reserved a taxi for you, he was ordered to bring you anywhere you need be, he won`t bother you to get paid."
"A...Arigato" said Ikki, puzzled at the entire scene. The twins were ushered forward and they bid Ikki goodbye, the youth waved at them and went to the taxi. Once seated, he instructed the driver to bring him to the village near Sanctuary. He would do the rest on foot, out of fear of having Sanctuary discovered.
He looked down on the scroll and was puzzled a while, then he looked at the seal and gasped. The seal was one of the most influential family in Japan. It was the Sumeragi clan and it seemed like this clan who dealed with the supernatural owed him a debt. Still Ikki chuckled, if anything out of the ordinary happened to him? His life was everything BUT normal. But the way the old woman looked at him, as if she knew...
The Sumeragi were a clan that dealed with the supernatural, he was a Saint. Yet she seemed convinced he might need them someday.
Ikki looked at the sealed scroll and pondered as the taxi sped away from the hospital.
***********************************************
Shaka was worried, Ikki hadn't come back yet. He couldn't feel any problems with his cosmo, but what was taking him so long? He sighed and returned to the book.
In spite of himself, he had become enthralled with the book. It explained that Man should try to acquire three basic things to lead a full life. Those three principles were called: Dharma, Artha and Kama. That you needed a balance of these three things to achieve oneness with Nature. (*)
"Dharma is obedience to the command of the Shastra or Holy Writ of the Hindoos, it is what he had learned from his Master."
"Artha is the acquisition of arts, land, gold, cattle, wealth, equipages and friends. It is, further, the protection of what is acquired, and the increase of what is protected."
"Kama is to be learnt from the Kama Sutra. Sexual intercourse being a thing dependent on man and woman requires the application of proper means by them, and those means are to be learnt from the Kama Shastra."
Shaka still thought it was quite hot outside, but his attention was on the books and he didn't take much attention to it anymore.
The book continued on saying how man and woman had their own share of learning to do parralel to learning of the Kama. Shaka really wondered how putting on jewelry, making beds, placing pillows and making sherbet had to do with all of this.
It also went on as how men should meet their partners, usually it is with the help of an elder man or woman. So that part was more like how to arrange a wedding, thought Shaka, but he continued on.
Then came the love making preparations, how to kiss and finaly Shaka arrived at the place where all the sexual positions were illustrated. The Embraces, the way to use long hair in a sexually pleasing manner, kissing techniques, Shaka never thought there were so many ways to kiss someone. When he reached the part about sucking the mango fruit (**) his cheeks were red as he imagined himself doing these things to Ikki. Shaka continued on reading of the positions. After a while, he couldn't take it anymore he needed release.
Just then he felt Ikki's cosmo getting nearer, he would be there in about 90 minutes. Shaka had an idea, he smiled and sent a telepathic message to Mu. He was happy his old friend agreed and he teleported, indeed he needed a few things before Ikki came back.
****************************************
Ikki was at the steps of the Ares Temple, not being a Gold Saint, he had to ask permission at each Temple to pass through them. Usually it took him a lot less time because Shaka was with him. Being alone, he had to go through all the Temples until he reached the Virgo House. Luckily some of them were empty, so he didn`t really need to ask permission to go through.
"Mu... Will you grant me access?" Ikki waited patiently for an answer. After a few minutes he asked again, this time louder. He was about to yell his next request when Mu arrived in a bathroom with his hair wet.
"It never fails, each time I take a bath..." He puffed.
"Err... Sorry, I didn`t know... I won`t be in your way much longer I just wish to pass." said Ikki.
"Oh Ikki... I`m so happy to see you... Shaka isn`t with you? That`s a first!" Mu teased, he knew exactly where Shaka was, but his old friend had asked him to stall Ikki.
"Well, he... Got back earlier..." admitted Ikki.
"Oh no... Did you have a fight?... Is that why you`re coming home alone?" asked Mu.
"What?... No, we weren`t in a fight, we got separated and then... the bus had an accident and well..." Ikki explained quickly what had happened.
"Oh! I hope no one was gravely injured... You are such a good person to help them Ikki!" praised Mu.
"Well, anyone would have done the same..." started Ikki, he hated that when people fussed over him like that. "Ano... If you don`t mind, I`d like to pass..."
"Oh right, sorry the accident made me forget!" Mu lied. Inwardly, he was laughing his head off, poor Ikki, he looked so tired. He would be even more tired in a few hours.
Ikki paused and waited Mu to give his approbation, when he didn`t come, he asked. "Then I can pass?"
"Oh yes, sorry... I was wondering if Kiki was still training or not... You may pass, I think you know your way around, I`ll go back to my bath now..." and without any other form of salutation Mu teleported away.
Ikki blinked, okay, that had been weird, maybe the heat had gotten to Mu. He shrugged and entered the Temple, he quickly exited, steering clear of Mu`s private lodging area. But as he got out he saw that Mu had prepared a vase with flowers in it, the vase looked like the ones you used to put in a cemetery. He shrugged, it was none of his business.
So Ikki continued, cursing that he was a Bronze Saint and having to stop at every House to ask permission. Aldebaran also talked with him before letting him go, he asked if he wanted some ice tea. Actually, Ikki was parched so he kindly thanked the giant for his offer. It took longer than anticipated but he finally got out of the Taurus Temple.
Ikki sighed in relief when he saw the Gemini Temple, no one was there so he didn`t bother asking. But as soon as he got inside, he had the strange feeling someone was watching him. He shivered when he felt Saga`s cosmo. Was the Gemini Saint guarding his Temple even through Death? Not taking any chances, Ikki quickly asked permission to pass the Temple.
Ikki then felt the presence dissipating, he quickly passed through, puzzled that he and Shaka never felt this before. He asked permission at the Cancer Temple, not taking any chance this time, Death Mask wasn`t a person he trusted, even dead.
When he came to the Temple of the Lion, Aiolia was outside talking with Marine. Ikki excused himself and they granted him access right away. The phoenix sighed in relief when he finally catched a glimpse of the Virgo Temple. he sure could use a few cuddling moments with Shaka and a bath!
The Temple was silent as he came in, but he was used to that, Shaka must be meditating as usual. He walked inside and blinked, there were flowers on the floor, jasmine from the sweet smell. There were also lit candles on the floor, they made a path to the bathroom.
Ikki was puzzled but he followed the flowery trail until he reached the bathroom. The room was lit only with the candles and Ikki had to adjust his vision. The bath was drawn for him and flowers were floating on top. He had to admit the bath was inviting.
Just as he was about to undress he heard a ruffle of cloth, he felt Shaka's cosmo warn him of his presence so he wouldn't be startled. From behind, he felt Shaka's hands hold the hem of his t-shirt and lift it up.
"Close your eyes and relax..." Shaka told him. Ikki could hear the sound of jewelry but he closed his eyes and felt Shaka's hands go to his zipper, then he felt the Gold Saint push down his pants. He also got rid of his underwear and socks, Ikki had already took off his sneakers at the entrance.
Shaka then guided Ikki to the bath, the youth let the older man lower him into the warm water. It was the perfect temperature, not too cold, not too warm, just enough to make him relax. Ikki opened his eyes and gasped.
"Shaka... you're... beautiful..."
Shaka looked back at him with his clear blue eyes. He wore an Indian shawl of thin coton painted with intricate symbols. He also wore jewelry from his country of origin, perfume and some slight makeup. Ikki thought he was the most beautiful person this side of creation.
Shaka smiled at him and gave him some fruit to eat. " You must be famished." He told him as he hand fed Ikki. The young man savored the melon and litchy Shaka fed him, letting their sweetness soothe him. Ikki had to admit he was hungry. Shaka continued feeding him with sweets then gave him to drink a spicy tea sweetened with honey.
Ikki wasn't used to so much attention, he actually felt a little silly at first but, after a while he loved the treatment. Shaka looked at him with such love and tenderness, Ikki couldn't help but feel a warmth go into his heart. He felt so priviledged to be loved by Shaka that his eyes started to fill with tears.
"Ikki... Don't cry Love..." Shaka kissed those tears away. "Yes... You are worthy, my darling Ikki..."
The youth hugged him. "Shaka!" he knew it was love but now it felt so much more.
Shaka took a sponge and started to wash him, taking away the grime and sweat the youth had carried with him all day. He washed his back, arms, then his chest and his legs before going back and washing him more intimately.
"Aaah..." gasped the youth. "Shaka...." He took the older man by the shoulder and guided him into the bath. Shaka let him take him into the bath, the cloth that drapped him was soon clinging to his body. Ikki saw as it became see through, Shaka's nipples, muscles and hardness. The young phoenix smiled and pulled him closer for a kiss.
But he was surprised to see that even though he had initiated it, Shaka was in command, deepening the kiss, thrusting his tongue into Ikki's mouth, nibbling his lips. Ikki shivered as new sensations excitted him, he never thought Shaka could kiss like that. Unsually shaka's kisses were unsure until passion made him wild with desire. This time it was different, as he was taking conscience just how sexy and incredible he was.
Shaka pulled back and unfastened the robe he wore until all he wore was the jewelry. He smiled at Ikki and continued to wash him, he carressed Ikki's hardness with the sponge, then his sacks and he ever went further. Ikki gasped and bit his lips not to moan but suddenly Shaka stopped. Ikki was almost out of breath, he never thought; well Shaka did excite him; but it never was this intense before.
"You're still too tensed..." purred Shaka. "I'll take care of that..." He got up as he did so he reached for a bottle that was in the bath with them. Ikki sucked in a breath as he watched the water slide down Shaka's body. His lover extended his hand and helped him up, Shaka got out of the bath and with a towel he dried himself then Ikki, leaving no places damp, much to Ikki demise. Many times the youth thought Shaka would start taking him in his mouth and the thought of it almost made him loose it.
Shaka took him to the bedroom, walking in front of the young Pheonix. The young man's vision got caught in Shaka's hips as the slim jeweled belt as it clicked and swayed with his movements.
"Sit down." Shaka told him, as Ikki did so, the blond sat down on the bed also and helped his young lover down. He took some massage oil in his hands and rubbed them together, then kneeling behind Ikki' head, he massaged his brow and temples, the going to his neck and shoulder.
Ikki could feel the tension of the day melt away, he sighed completly at ease and enjoying the way Shaka massaged him. His lover then moved to his shoulder, then arms, chest and legs. When Shaka went back up he took care of Ikki's stomach muscle. Then Ikki could feel a heat pool up in his loins when Shaka massaged the area just bellow his belly botton. As he gasped, Shaka asked him to turn around.
Ikki was barely able to do it, his limbs felt like lead and that pooling, that slow ember of desire he felt. He did feel a little ackward with that... Shaka was trying to make him relax and then his reaction...
Shaka made no show that it bothered him and as he helped Ikki on his stomach, he straddled his back. Hands started to work at the knots at his neck, shoulders and back. But Ikki could still feel Shaka's hardness against the small of his back. He started to feel aroused by the position and he realised by his own submission to the treatment. Ikki pondered as Shaka continued to massage him, if it wouldn't be too bad to surrender to Shaka tonight.
Shaka turned and worked on his legs, calves and even his toes. Ikki was close to drift into slumber when the blonde's hands ran back to the small of his back and applied some pressure there.
Ikki gasped at the relaxation and the return of his arousal, it was as if Shaka was touching points in him that turned him on. His legs opened on its own volution, Ikki felt Shaka's free oiled hand roam on his bottom. Another pressure, Ikki stiffled a moan.
"S...Shaka!" He gasped when the Gold Saint's fingers started to probe the area of his entrance, only to bypass it. Ikki groaned in disapproval but moaned a few seconds after that as Shaka attained his true goal, the area between his sacks and his entrance.
Ikki panted as Shaka caressed this area. He never thought it would feel so arousing but it was, he could feel himself grow harder. he wanted more also, more of Shaka's touch, he opened his legs more and whimpered to Shaka in a moan.
"AAAh... SH... Shaka... Please... more..." Inwardly he doubted for a few seconds that he uttered such words but when he felt Shaka's oiled finger circle his entrance all those thoughts were cast aside.
Shaka was careful, Ikki hadn't been touched there in a while and he didn't want the youth to remember unsavory memories of his former Master. But the way Ikki was moaning his name, he could tell there was nothing to fear yet. He pushed his finger slowly inside Ikki, who in his relaxed and aroused state was very receptive to. since his finger was very well oiled, it slid in easily, Ikki moaning as it got all the way in. Shaka started to move his finger in and out slowly then he picked up the pace.
Ikki panted and moaned, he had never felt pleasure like this before. No... never before like this... he remembered briefly his Master's humiliation but shaka's slow moving, loving gestures banished those thoughts away. He felt pain when Shaka pushed a second finger in, but it soon vanished because his lover was taking great care.
Shaka felt alo aroused that he was doing this to Ikki. That the young man was accepting the way he was now in charge, he was going to be dominant tonight. The younger man whimpered under his fingers whih thrilled him. To actually make ikki feel pleasure, like he had experienced himself. He could feel himself grow hard as he entered a third finger into Ikki. he wanted him, he wanted to be in him so much and the way Ikki moaned for more.
Ikki was getting overwhelmed by the sensations when he felt Shaka's finger leave him. Barely able to think he was helped by Shaka to turn on his back. The gold Saint grabbed his legs and placed them on his shoulders. Ikki gasped as Shaka grabbed his hips and his oiled hardness poking at his entrance.
"Shaka..." Ikki moaned.
"Ikki... I want you..." admitted Shaka as his free hand caressed Ikki's chest. "I want to make you experience the pleasure you give me... if you'll let me..."
"only... Only for you.. Shaka... Yes..." replied Ikki, looking at him with love and trust.
Shaka could feel tears of joy burning in his eyes. The trust Ikki had for him, moved him so. He entered him slowly, letting out a moan as he felt his hardness being encased into Ikki, how tight he was, how hot. Oh god, he thought, was it what Ikki felt as he entered him? he loved the sensations and savored as every inch of his hardness pushed in slowly but surely.
Ikki braced himself for the initial pain, he knew it would come and with it a burning sting. But it was much less worse than in his memory, it was becoming pleasant quite easilly, he could feel himself grow harder, it turned him on to be taken. It was different, a very different pleasure than when he was in Shaka's place, but nevertheless it offered the promise of esctacy just as much.
Shaka started a slow tempo, pushing in and out of his lover. Ikki started to writhe on the bed, caught up now with the pleasure. It was all that mattered now, that they were making love, that they shared a union of body. Shaka was almost overwhelemed at each stroke, Ikki was so tight and hot. It was incredible, delicious, of course he liked being taken by his lover but this was also a source of pleasure he could grow to love also.
Ikki disengaged his legs off Shaka's shoulders and wrapped them around the Gold Saint's waist. He moaning, he could feel Shaka go deeper into him, he arched.
"OOOH... Oh!.. Shaka... Shaka... Shaka..."
Shaka smiled and withough stopping his movements, he bent over and captured Ikki's lips. He was his now, his young lover, his everything. The blond deepened the kiss and was answered in kind. He felt Ikki's hands start to roam on his back. He sped up the movement, Ikki was gasping and moaning under him, Shaka could feel the esctacy about to carry him over the edge. He reached between their bodies and encircled Ikki's member with his fingers and started to move his hand.
Ikki's reaction was almost instantaneous as he nearly arched off the bed, moaning. He called out Shaka's name, moaning it like he never had before. he was so close, so close now.
Shaka continued to thrust and suddenly Ikki's walls tightened around his hardness. Ikki screamed his name and hot pleasure spilt between them, the walls around shaka getting so tight that it triggered the Gold Saint's completion. He let out a loud moan as he emptied himself into Ikki, giving a few last thrusts before collapsing on his young lover.
Ikki couldn't believe how good it had had been. He moved slightly to help Shaka be more comfotable against him. He combed with his fingers the blond hair that had becomed heavy with sweat from their lovemaking.
Shaka lifted his head and looked at Ikki with sparkling eyes. They both smiled, they both felt so good and neither one had to say it... they could feel it. They have never felt so close before. They kissed tenderly, hugging and snuggling.
"You're beautiful... and so sexy..." whispered Ikki.
"I'm returning you the compliment." smiled Shaka.
"Me?... no... I'm not as beautiful as you... I'll never be..." Ikki started but Shaka silenced him with a kiss.
"You are beautiful to me Ikki... you're more beautiful that you think..."
"Thanks.. I think..." smirked Ikki sheepishly. They snuggled once more and the heat of their bodies slowly lulled them to sleep.
***********
Ikki felt himself floating after a while. It was cold around him, his skin felt tingly. He opened his eyes slowly.
He was floating naked in a meadow where the grass and leaves of the trees were made of fire. He also saw attached to his a slivery thing that ressembled a rope. He started to get apprehensive and he had the reflex to back off.
"Don`t be afraid, Ikki..." a voice resounded out of the sky.
"Shaka?" asked Ikki.
"Yes, it`s me... Don`t worry..." the ethereal voice said.
"Shaka... Where are you? I can`t see you..." Ikki asked, wondering why he couldn`t see his lover even though the voice seemed so close.
"It`s because you are shielding yourself, my Love." Shaka reprised. "You are so used to shielding yourself from others that even to me, you shield yourself..."
"I don`t want to be alone here... Where am I?" asked Ikki.
"It`s the representation of what you perceive of yourself, your strength and weaknesses."
Ikki looked all around him, the landscape was stark and there was a great feeling of sadness and rage floating around. There was grass but ingulfed in flames, flowers were blossoms of fire, leaves were like tongues of flames that laped against metal on a gas burning stove. Even the sky was forboding and red, Ikki fought the need to roll himself into a ball, for even if there fire everywhere they gave off cold. Ikki started to gasp as faces appeared in the flames, Guilty, his former master, Esmeralda, Shun wonded by his attacks, his friends as they appeared when he attacked them, even the face they made when he didn`t know how to reach for them and ended up hurting their feelings.
"No... I want to go away... I don`t want to stay here!" Ikki didn`t like the sound of his voice, as he looked down he could see that his body had shrunk. Then suddenly, Guilty rose from the flame and walked towards him. Ikki felt panic, an old fear was rising up again, he shielded his face with his arms trembling, wincing, fearing the worst.
"Ikki..." Shaka`s soft voice talked again. "You have to fight against yourself, free yourself of these old guilts..."
Ikki felt himself growing younger, crying now. "I don`t know how!..."
"You must first forgive yourself to gain strength... You are strong Ikki, it is your gulit that traps you here, my Love..."
Ikki cried. "Make them go away!"
"I cannot my Love..." Shaka`s voice was calm but sad. "It is the battle of your soul, I can only give you guidance, if I do the batle for you, you`ll never grow... Those inner demons will continue to weight you down."
Ikki whimpered a little, Guilty continued to move towards him. Ikki then took a decision, never again he would let Guilty hurt him; he was fed up of it. His old mentor stopped dead in his tracks. Ikki blinked and saw him take another step closer.
"STAY AWAY FROM ME!!!! I WON`T LET YOU HURT ME AGAIN!!" Ikki roared gaining confidence, Guilty took a step back, the young Phoenix took a step forward, his former master backed up. "You no longer will make me cower..." said Ikki with assurance. He punched Guilty and he disapeared in a puff of smoke.
Then he saw Esmeralda as she lay dying, Shun wounded, his friends also. Ikki fell on his knees. "I`m sorry... I'm sorry . . . I never meant for you to be hurt... I cared for you Esmeralda, I wish you were still alive." He looked up and saw her smile at him. She bent and kissed his cheek, then she disapeared. Ikki felt in his heart that she had accepted his apology.
He then turned to his friends. "I`m sorry... Shun, Hyoga, Seiya, Shiryu... I just don`t know how to show I really care for you guys sometimes... I`m sorry for all those times I`ve been a jerk... I`m sorry I wasn`t there for you Shun. You never gave up on me, you always thought I could be saved. I wish I had opened up to you sooner and not cause you so much pain."
The Shun spirit embrassed him, Ikki felt tears falling down his eyes, he could feel his brother's love for him. He hugged him back. "People call you weak Shun. But you are the strongest among us..." Shun smiled at him.
"Ni-san!" He laughed and Ikki was washed with the images of Shun`s last birthday, the surprise in his eye, the delight that Ikki had thrown a secret surprise party for him with the help of the others. He saw Shun next to him as they visited their parents grave. When Shun asked for his forgiveness. "Remember the good times from now on..." Shun told him as he disapeared.
When his brother disapeared he could start to see the grass turn green and now he couls start to see the sky. He saw Hyoga smile at him before he too vanished. Hyoga, Ikki thought, as long as Shun is happy he is... Take good care of my ototo.. I trust you!
He ruffled Seiya's hair, nodded with a smile to Shiryu and shook his hand, they smiled back and they too disapeared. Ikki felt a heavy weight being lifted off his chest. He felt free, free for the first time in so many years. He felt like crying, shouting but not of pain fear or anger but of joy. Then he remembered his love.
"Shaka?" he asked again. this time there was no sound that was uttered but Ikki saw a red thread fall from the sky. He felt warmth comming from it, he extended his hands to it. As soon as it hit his hand, he could feel Shaka's presence through it. He closed his hand on it and whispered. "Shaka..."
He was instantly transported into the sky, he was travelling so far he couldn't make out anything in front of him. Until he reached an illuminated Lotus that shone from an ethereal Light.
Ikki gasped when he peered inside the Lotus petals and saw Shaka. his skin was opalescent and seemed to glow from within. His hair had the woven gold color of a field of wheat in the sun. He opened his eyes and Ikki saw that they were the most beautiful shade of blue. He was dressed as an Indian God, Shiva most certainly. He had necklaces of gold anf of silver, as well as garland of flowers. He smiled peacefully at Ikki.
"Oooh.... S...Sh... Shaka... You're... incredibly gorgeous." Ikki was finally able to say.
"So are you Ikki..."
The young man shook his head. " no one could look more lovier than you..."
"Are you so sure?... Then close your eyes..." Said the hindou as he closed his.
ikki did as he was told and suddenly fought against vertigo. He was moving?... no... it was such a weird feeling. shaka's words rang in his head. "Open your eyes..."
Ikki did so and gasped once more. He was in front of himself, as if he was looking into a mirror because the figure gasped too.
"Is that... ME?" he asked as the mirror image moved his lips accordingly.
"yes.. It is as I see you Ikki... How your soul appears to me." Shaka's voice softly spoke into his mind.
Ikki couldn't believe his eyes, or was it Shaka's eyes he was seeing through he wondered. He saw himself with longer hair, he had dark curls that shone with a certain blueish light. His eyes were like the deep blue seas, his skin was a little redder than he had in real life. He wore a gold and red kimono but what he found the most amazing was that behind him was an aureole of phoenix feathers.
"Like what you see?... ah you're blushing!"
"How can you tell?..." Asked Ikki as he was suddenly back into his body.
Shaka smiled. " I can..."
Ikki looked around. "Why are we here?... Where is here..."
" My guess is Nirvana.. the realm of the souls..." replied Shaka.
"Does... that mean we're dead?..." asked Ikki.
"No... For some reason, we were brought here..." explained Shaka.
"By who?..." Shaka shook his head, he didn't know wither. "What are we supposed to do now..."
Shaka blushed. "Well I can't touch you here..."
"Why not?..." asked Ikki as he got closer.
Shaka gasped, he face becoming more flushed. " I don't think it's... permitted..."
"Like I listen to rules anyway..." whispered Ikki as he touched his lips to shaka.
As they kissed they felt electricity flow through their body, they both gasped and reached for one another. each touch each contact was like ecstasy.
"Aaaah... Ikki... Stop... we... we shouldn't..."
"But I love you aaah... it feels so good...mmmm..."
All their senses seemed to flare all at once as they touched their body shone with the light of life and it also seemed to them, the light of love. They just held each other and felt the pleasure that came with joining it was as if they were making love at the same time. Feeling intoxicated, not knowing where one started and the other stopped. With their minds joined together the experience was heightened by the feeling and sensations of the other. They felt love though all the pores of their body and sudenly they felt it, a complete union, body and soul they were one for an instant.
*********************************
"Aaaaah... aaaaah..." Panted Ikki as he woke up. "Did I just dream?...
"Aaaahh" panted Shaka. " If you did I had the same one..."
They both lay on the bed, spent like they have never been before in their life. It was as though they had made love all night long and all day and the following night.
" I don't know about you but I ache all over... especially errr... well you know..."
started Ikki.
Shaka chuckled. " Serves you right... I told you we shouldn't have touched."
Ikki smiled. "It was worth it though..." Ikki was about to kiss Shaka again when he felt something touch his brow. A kiss?
Both he and Shaka turned bright red when they felt the fleeting presence of Athena. They both rushed to cover themselves.
"There is no shame... I just came in to bless you and your eternal union... Just like I had done to so many Saints before you... Ikki, Shaka..may you be happy in this life as in your others..."
Athena's presence disapeared, just as softly as it had came. Ikki felt strange, without thinking he gave Shaka the yellow robe that was next to the red one.
" How did you know that was the one I wanted?" Asked Shaka.
"I'm... not sure..." replied Ikki.
Shaka put on the robe and closed his eyes. He too felt strange and concentrated to know what it was. It took a certain time but he finnaly found it, in his heart. He crossed his rams over his heart smilling.
Ikki suddenly felt a warmth, it was love, Shaka's love. How was it possible? he wondered in his mind. Shaka's soft voice replied into his mind.
"We now both share a part of our soul with the other... My Love we shall never be apart... even though he cannot be together..."
Ikki took Shaka in his arms and savored the embrace. "This is the most beautiful day of my life." Shaka smiled and snuggled into his arms.
****************************************
"Saori?... Saori-san?... Are you all right?" asked Jabu.
Saori opened her eyes. " Yes, I am...."
"You looked like your were in trance... Is there a problem in the world?" The Unicorn Saint asked.
Saori smiled brightly to him, he was gulping, trying to contain his emotions, she was so beautiful. " No Jabu... Everything is all right. But I need to ask you a favor..."
"A... Anything for you, Saori-san..." gulped Jabu.
"I need your help... to make a few miracles happen..." She smiled.

**: It is the way fellatio is called in the Kama Sutra.
by Sonya
Greece is known for its lovely ancient architecture. Many tourists come to brave the searing heat to get a glimpse of these Temples of the days of ancient philosophers, a time where gods walked the Earth. Unknown to most of those who visit, the gods are still pretty much in the picture.
"Blessed Athena...` puffed a blond haired man. `What heat!..."
A dark haired youth, smirked at him. "I thought you were used to it." As he looked at his companion, people around them could see they were both very handsome. The dark-haired youth had a scar on his face and looked a little more wild than his companion, who seemed to breathe peace.
"I`m usually not in a crowded town in this kind of heat." The blond replied, he used a tourist pamphlet to fan himself. "Why did I agree to this?"
"Because, you thought it was a good idea to start with. You thought it was good for me to learn about the past..." The dark haired youth took pity on him and stopped to get some ice cream. "Shaka... What flavor do you want?"
"Peach or mango... or anything with a fruit flavor." Replied Shaka.
Ikki nodded and returned with a cone of dubious pink color. "They only had strawberry" As he gave the cone to his friend, he himself licked a chocolate flavored one.
Shaka licked the ice cream and made a face. "They say this is supposed to be strawberries?" It tasted more like chemicals to him and he doubted this product ever touched a strawberry.
Ikki savored his ice cream then noted Shaka`s face. He sighed and took the ice cream from him and gave him his chocolate flavored cone.
Shaka blinked. "But... You licked it!"
"So?... What`s the problem?" Ikki started to lick the strawberry flavored ice cream instead.
"So... People saw you... I can`t..." started Shaka as he looked at the dripping cone.
"No one cares, Shaka... Now eat it or else I`ll eat both of them..."
Shaka frowned a little but tasted the ice cream. It was mellow and sweet, much better than the other one. The blond wasn`t used to having people tell him what he should do. As he was growing up, all attended to his needs. When he became a Saint, he did whatever he wished. Ikki was a welcomed addition to his life, but sometimes...
"Ikki I don`t like it when you act this way..."
The dark haired looked at him with puzzled deep blue eyes. "What?... What did I do?"
Shaka continued to lick his ice cream. "You`re acting with me as though I was Shun... I could have eaten that ice cream you know..."
Ikki blinked. "Well... You looked like you didn`t want to touch it with a 10 foot pole... I just thought you`d enjoy chocolate better instead..."
"I`m not your younger brother..." Shaka puffed. He didn`t know why he felt so annoyed, was it the heat? Frustration? He couldn`t pinpoint it but it did make him a little harsh.
"I know that..." Ikki bent next to Shaka and whispered in his ear. "I do things with you I`d never dream do with my ototo..." The Hindu shivered and briefly wondered if it was because Ikki`s breath was cooled by the frozen confection or the sexual innuendo. The dark haired youth noted Shaka`s reaction and spied a nearby couple. "Maybe then... We could do like them..."
Shaka followed his gaze to a couple, a man and a woman who were having different flavors of ice cream and who sampled regulary the ice cream of the other. They also hung themselves very close to one another. It was almost indecent, thought Shaka. but no one seemed to care, like Ikki had pointed out earlier.
The blond did blush though. "We can`t do that!"
Ikki had a dangerous smile on his lips, his eyes had a certain sparkle to them. He licked the ice cream, looking at Shaka, letting his tongue hang out longer than was needed. "Why not?" he asked.
Shaka felt the heat increase, he looked away blushing. "Because, we`re in a public place and I don`t want to attract more attention than needed."
"Who said anything about doing that in public?..." Ikki laughed and taking his hand, he took Shaka around a corner and into an alcove.
Shaka followed frowning. "You`re doing it again! Why don...ooof.." Shaka didn`t finish because he was now pressed against the wall. He looked at Ikki angrily and his breath was just cut short.
Ikki had lifted both his ice cream and Shaka`s own to the height of their mouth. Both confections dripped, but Shaka`s ice cream has started to melt on his finger. The blond gasped when Ikki licked his fingers to get them clean.
`Come on... Aren`t you hungry?` asked Ikki before licking both ice creams on his side.
Shaka didn`t know what came over him but he started to do the same. They both looked at each other as they licked. Shaka gasped as Ikki pressed his hips closer to his. The blond realized that both his and Ikki`s member started to get hard.
As if they answered to an unasked question they both licked the ice cream then with their tongue still extended they kissed, tasting each other`s ice cream. When they broke the kiss, Ikki was licking the side of Shaka`s mouth, cleaning it. He pulled back and then did something that pooled even more heat between Shaka`s legs.
Ikki took the melting strawberry ice cream into his mouth and pulled up. The malleable sweet had just becomed very phallic and Ikki started to lick it like he did when he licked Shaka`s hardness. His tongue flicking the top.
Shaka tossed both ice creams away, then grabbed Ikki behind the neck and kissed him hard, his tongue going deep in the youth's mouth. Ikki returned the kiss in full. It fuelled Shaka`s passion even more as the tall blond lifted one of his legs and wrapped it around Ikki`s. The Gold Saint`s hands were all over Ikki and he moaned as he felt the youth slipping his hands into his hair.
But the moment was cut short when they both were drenched in cold water and a rather heavy dark robed woman started to scream at them in Greek. She clutched a cross and shook an accusing finger at them. Shaka was so embarrassed he couldn`t make out half of what she said, but the words indecent and bitch came back a lot.
Ikki barked back at her and it spooked her just enough to permit the young Saint to exit with Shaka in tow. They jumped in the first crowded bus and headed back to Sanctuary. The bus was so full they got separated, Shaka was so ashamed that he exited the bus before it reached their stop and he teleported back at the Entrance of Sanctuary. He quickly ran up the steps and without stopping to say hello at any other Saint, he engulfed himself into his Temple.
**********************************
Mean while back in Japan, Jabu and Saori were drinking some lemonade. The young man was trying to forget what he saw either and tried to make his preoccupation Saori, his goddess, the woman he would die for, the woman he...
"Jabu..." Saori started. "Tell me do you believe in reincarnation?"
Jabu blinked. "Er... well I guess I do. I can't be sure. You are a reincarnation are you?"
Saori nodded. " I am Athena. Also I am human, long ago I decided to let go of my goddess body so I could come back to Earth and protect humanity."
"Saori-san..." Jabu interupted her. " Ano... Athena-sama, why did you do that?"
"Gods are fickle creatures. They live for so long, they forget just how precious life is. They forget that they too were born, that they can die." Saori took another sip. "I choose not to forget Jabu. Do you understand? I choose to die so I could celebrate life at each of my reincarnations."
Jabu felt at awe in her, even more than before. "How many times?"
"I usually get reincarnated every 250 years... so since the Beginning. I have kind of lost track of the count. Maybe 60, 70 times?"
Jabu's eyes went wide. "Is... I mean, are you always like Kido Saori?"
"My past lives are like half-remembered memories. But I think that the main part of my personality kept the change. Although there have been differences, in a few lifetimes I was a lesbian..."
Boom!
Saori blinked. "Ano... Jabu-san? Are you all right?"
Jabu literally fell off his chair, he quickly returned to his seat rather embarrased. "Ah er... Well I... I see, well I can understand that you would I mean..." He started to stammer.
Saori chuckled softly. "Jabu, I did say a few lifetimes... That doesn't include this one."
"So you're not a lesbian?" He started then facevaulted. "NOT that it concerns me or should be my business anyway!" He blushed.
Saori smiled at him. "No, I am not, not at all. Jabu, would you like some more lemonade? You spilled your glass all over yourself."
Jabu hung his head in shame. "Hai, please."
"If you're not tired... I'd like to talk some more with you."
"Tired me?... No not even, I feel a little weird though like..."
"Energized?" she countered.
Jabu puzzled looking at her. "Yes... Exactly."
***********************************************
Shaka stood before his books, they were on philosophy, buddhism and other spiritual manner. Books that were given to him by his Master. But there was one book that was special among them, one which was sealed, on the paper that hid its content, his Master had wrote one single instruction:
"Read this book, when you cannot find an answer in all the other books. One day, you will need it."
One of the powers of his Master was precognition. That meant that, he could tell the future. When he was younger, Shaka had many times asked him about his future. But his Master merely smiled and never answered in a manner that satisfied him as a child.
Shaka looked longly at the sealed book. What was he feeling lately with Ikki? It was love, he knew that. But lately, he was ashamed at his own actions. He lusted for his lover, the day before, he had entered the shower where Ikki was cleaning himself and he just...
He lost control of his own body, all he wanted was Ikki. To hear him moan, to see his face twist as he came. His body took control as it wanted Ikki to possess him, to kiss and lick him intimately. He woke up at night with desire and once more his body made him do these things until it was sated.
Shaka was a little afraid of his reactions. Was he going to loose all his training, just because of this irrisistable lust? Was it okay for him to have a relationship?
Ikki didn't help clear his mind. The youth had been downright incendiary in the last few days. As if echoing his own lust, Ikki had done things to make Shaka go crazy. Like the ice cream incident earlier. The tight jeans he wore, the t-shirts that molded his body like a second skin, his mouth that was so hot.
Shaka shook his head, his damn body was doing it again. Determined to know what was wrong with him, he looked for his books. But alas, none of them helped, he lost hope two days ago after looking through them again.
No his sole salvation might lie in the mysterious book his mentor left him so many years ago.
He ripped the seal of the book and gasped.
"No... He's not serious... Is he?"
The book he had in his hands was called: Kama Sutra (Aphorisms on Love)
***********************************************
Ikk i sighed when he glimpsed Shaka getting off the bus. Maybe I shouldn`t have done that, he thought, but I couldn`t help myself, lately I`ve been so... frisky. Frisky wasn`t the word, both he and Shaka had multiplied the occasions and the excuses to make love in the last few days. Both of them were restless.
Ikki first thought it was because they had been parted a while. The Phoenix Saint almost was afraid to go back to Sanctuary when he set out to meet back with Shaka. He was afraid the Virgo Saint wouldn`t see of a good eye a reunion, since he was supposed to stay on guard in his Temple. But Shaka had been more than happy and they barely made it to the bedroom.
Ikki blushed remembering when he heard a small laugh. He blinked and looked around, he was standing up in the bus because there was no place for him. As he looked he heard the giggle again.
"Hoku-chan... Shhhh... It`s not polite!"
Someone had just spoken in japanese, Ikki looked down and saw 2 pairs of almost identical eyes looking back up at him. He knew right away that the twins before him were not identical, for one was a boy and the one giggling was a girl.
"Mou!" The girl pouted. "It`s not like he can understand us!"
"Still, would you like that if he did the same to you?" asked the boy, he seemed calmer and more mature than his sister.
The girl looked at Ikki then embarrassed she looked down. "No..." she admitted.
Ikki laughed, both children looked up in alarm at him. Ikki cleared his throat then said. "You`d better listen to your brother, you never know who might listen in to your conversation."
"YATTA!" Said the girl. "You speak japanese like us!"
"You see... I told you he looked Japanese..." said her brother.
"Okay, okay... You were right." She turned to Ikki. "Onisan... Are you on vacation?"
The boy next to her blushed. "Hoku-chan... That`s none of your business."
"Buuuuuut.." She girl whined. "He`s the first person who understand us... I`m so bored!" She turned her attention back to Ikki expecting a response.
"Errrr... Well, yes and no, I have business here but I`m also trying to have a good time." admitted Ikki.
"You should take example on him, Suba-chan!" the girl scolded her twin. "You are too serious..."
"But!..." Started the boy as Ikki chuckled at their antics. It did remind him sometimes of the way he and Shun would argue sometimes. But his chuckles stopped when the bus started to veer and jerk him around. He instantly knew something was amiss, people started to scream, the bus veered once more, the breaks were applied in an urgent manner. Ikki gripped a bar as he felt people rush forward because of the sudden stop. He strained and was able to stay where he was.
He heard a high shrill and saw that the twins were starting to slide to the front of the bus. Ikki didn`t think but acted, he used his free arm to gather both children to him and braced himself. The children hung to him as they were frightened. It was over fast as the bus impacted on something. Ikki could feel people being tossed around, he could hear the windows breaking, some people yelling out in pain. Then all became very still.
Then he could hear sobbing, some people spooked because they had blood on them, others realizing they were cut, some more moaning in pain and others still praying to their gods they did make it out of it alive.
The children in his arms started to cry and be upset. As soon as Ikki let them down, they rushed to a woman which was among those wounded.
"Nana-san... Nana-san!" they cried. Ikki went to see if the woman was still alive, she was but she most likely was unconscious. He turned around to see if anyone else needed help when he felt the two children clinging to his legs.
"ONISAN!!! Don`t leave us alone!" Ikki froze. The young boy`s voice was so much like Shun when they got separated so long ago. He took the crying children in his arms, already outside there was a commotion, people were rushing in to help them get out of the bus. The Phoenix Saint got out with the children and placed them under the shade of an olive tree. He turned around but the children clung to him.
"No... Don`t go!..." they sobbed, frightened.
Ikki sighed and kneeled to them. "There are a lot of people who need help." He told them. "I have to help them and there`s your nanny too, she needs help."
The boy wiped his eyes. "We understand... We`ll stay here..."
Ikki nodded. "Bright boy... Stay here, my name is Ikki, if someone tries to take you away, call me as loud as you can okay?" The children nodded. "Good... Now I won`t be gone too long. I`ll get your nanny and help the people there... I`ll be back for you..."
The twins had calmed down and huddled together, Ikki satisfied that they had no visible injury went back to the bus. He helped get the wounded out, the ambulances were arriving when he heard someone cry out that the driver was trapped.
Ikki went to see and the poor man has the steering wheel of his bus shoved into his abdomen. He had trouble breathing and his lips were starting to get blue. Two men were trying to free him but the metal refused to move. Ikki concentrated and focused his cosmo, the man wild veering has saved them from going down a cliff, he didn`t deserve to die here.
"Let me try..." He said calmly. The two men looked up at him, their initial reaction was to rebuke him but they couldn`t. They didn`t know why but they felt the young man who just stopped them could move it. They didn`t argue and stepped back.
"I`ll get you out... Hold on okay?" The bus driver weakly nodded and Ikki took a deep breath, he willed his cosmo to flare inside him and prayed he had the strength to move to free the man. As the paramedics arrived, they gasped as they saw Ikki pulling at the steering wheel as if it was hardened taffy. Later, they would explain the feat as a rush of adrenalin of a young man who didn`t wish the bus driver to die.
Ikki`s arms trembled as he finished pulling and got the man out. The man blessed him, Ikki told him to breath, no thanks were necessary. Dazed, he felt the other patting his back and shoulders in appreciation.
"IKKI-SAN! ONISAN!!!!" Ikki stood to attention immediately and ran to the children. He saw a few policemen trying to get the children to follow them. Ikki was able to calm the children and explained to the police officers that they were with their nanny when the accident happened.
The children clung again to Ikki and the police officers thought it would be better if Ikki took care of the children until they could figure out where their parents were. Ikki and the children were put in a police car and they followed the ambulance who carried the nanny to the nearest hospital.
"Ikki-san... Will Nana-san be all right?" They asked him.
"Of course... She might be sick for a while. But I am sure she will be okay." said Ikki as they arrived at the hospital.
******************************************************** ******
Ikki puffed, the twins were finally asleep. He looked at the clock, it had been 4 hours since the accident and the police was still trying to find the twins` parents. Both of them rested against him, one on each side, Ikki was starting to wonder if Shaka was wondering where he was. He was staring to wonder if they would trust the kids to his care when he saw a group of people walking towards him.
The group was made of police officers and japanese people. Ikki briefly wondered why they were all dressed in traditional japanese clothing. Among them was an old woman, Ikki felt something about her, power. He gulped as she looked straight at him as if she was able to see right through him, as if all his secrets were bared for her.
The young boy stirred and looked up. "GRANDMOTHER!!" He yelled and rushed to meet with her.
She smiled and petted his hair, looking relieved he was okay. She told him a few things, Ikki couldn`t understand as the girl stirred. She too rushed to her grandmother and was received with the same joy. The old woman then conversed with the others who came with her and walked to Ikki.
She bowed and Ikki got up and bowed in return. "Our clan gives you thanks..." She trailed off, he realized she wanted his name.
"Kido Ikki..." Was the first thing that popped into mind, he didn`t remember the name of his family all he could retain was his name, Kido was as good as was needed.
The woman raised an eyebrow as if the name rang a memory in her. "Our clan gives you thanks, Kido-san." She reprised. "We are forever grateful to you that you made sure our heir was unharmed."
Heir? Thought Ikki, who did she mean? But when he saw the attention lavished on the boy, he realized it was him. "It was nothing... I just did what anyone else would have..."
"You are too modest." The old woman said. A man gave her a sealed scroll. "If you are ever in need, please contact us... We may yet help you at a later date. Please accept this. If you are ever in need, or if something out of the ordinary happens to you, feel free to contact us. We may yet help at a later date. Again, I thank you for protecting my grandchildren." She gave the sealed scroll to Ikki and bowed before taking her leave she added. "We have reserved a taxi for you, he was ordered to bring you anywhere you need be, he won`t bother you to get paid."
"A...Arigato" said Ikki, puzzled at the entire scene. The twins were ushered forward and they bid Ikki goodbye, the youth waved at them and went to the taxi. Once seated, he instructed the driver to bring him to the village near Sanctuary. He would do the rest on foot, out of fear of having Sanctuary discovered.
He looked down on the scroll and was puzzled a while, then he looked at the seal and gasped. The seal was one of the most influential family in Japan. It was the Sumeragi clan and it seemed like this clan who dealed with the supernatural owed him a debt. Still Ikki chuckled, if anything out of the ordinary happened to him? His life was everything BUT normal. But the way the old woman looked at him, as if she knew...
The Sumeragi were a clan that dealed with the supernatural, he was a Saint. Yet she seemed convinced he might need them someday.
Ikki looked at the sealed scroll and pondered as the taxi sped away from the hospital.
***********************************************
Shaka was worried, Ikki hadn't come back yet. He couldn't feel any problems with his cosmo, but what was taking him so long? He sighed and returned to the book.
In spite of himself, he had become enthralled with the book. It explained that Man should try to acquire three basic things to lead a full life. Those three principles were called: Dharma, Artha and Kama. That you needed a balance of these three things to achieve oneness with Nature. (*)
"Dharma is obedience to the command of the Shastra or Holy Writ of the Hindoos, it is what he had learned from his Master."
"Artha is the acquisition of arts, land, gold, cattle, wealth, equipages and friends. It is, further, the protection of what is acquired, and the increase of what is protected."
"Kama is to be learnt from the Kama Sutra. Sexual intercourse being a thing dependent on man and woman requires the application of proper means by them, and those means are to be learnt from the Kama Shastra."
Shaka still thought it was quite hot outside, but his attention was on the books and he didn't take much attention to it anymore.
The book continued on saying how man and woman had their own share of learning to do parralel to learning of the Kama. Shaka really wondered how putting on jewelry, making beds, placing pillows and making sherbet had to do with all of this.
It also went on as how men should meet their partners, usually it is with the help of an elder man or woman. So that part was more like how to arrange a wedding, thought Shaka, but he continued on.
Then came the love making preparations, how to kiss and finaly Shaka arrived at the place where all the sexual positions were illustrated. The Embraces, the way to use long hair in a sexually pleasing manner, kissing techniques, Shaka never thought there were so many ways to kiss someone. When he reached the part about sucking the mango fruit (**) his cheeks were red as he imagined himself doing these things to Ikki. Shaka continued on reading of the positions. After a while, he couldn't take it anymore he needed release.
Just then he felt Ikki's cosmo getting nearer, he would be there in about 90 minutes. Shaka had an idea, he smiled and sent a telepathic message to Mu. He was happy his old friend agreed and he teleported, indeed he needed a few things before Ikki came back.
****************************************
Ikki was at the steps of the Ares Temple, not being a Gold Saint, he had to ask permission at each Temple to pass through them. Usually it took him a lot less time because Shaka was with him. Being alone, he had to go through all the Temples until he reached the Virgo House. Luckily some of them were empty, so he didn`t really need to ask permission to go through.
"Mu... Will you grant me access?" Ikki waited patiently for an answer. After a few minutes he asked again, this time louder. He was about to yell his next request when Mu arrived in a bathroom with his hair wet.
"It never fails, each time I take a bath..." He puffed.
"Err... Sorry, I didn`t know... I won`t be in your way much longer I just wish to pass." said Ikki.
"Oh Ikki... I`m so happy to see you... Shaka isn`t with you? That`s a first!" Mu teased, he knew exactly where Shaka was, but his old friend had asked him to stall Ikki.
"Well, he... Got back earlier..." admitted Ikki.
"Oh no... Did you have a fight?... Is that why you`re coming home alone?" asked Mu.
"What?... No, we weren`t in a fight, we got separated and then... the bus had an accident and well..." Ikki explained quickly what had happened.
"Oh! I hope no one was gravely injured... You are such a good person to help them Ikki!" praised Mu.
"Well, anyone would have done the same..." started Ikki, he hated that when people fussed over him like that. "Ano... If you don`t mind, I`d like to pass..."
"Oh right, sorry the accident made me forget!" Mu lied. Inwardly, he was laughing his head off, poor Ikki, he looked so tired. He would be even more tired in a few hours.
Ikki paused and waited Mu to give his approbation, when he didn`t come, he asked. "Then I can pass?"
"Oh yes, sorry... I was wondering if Kiki was still training or not... You may pass, I think you know your way around, I`ll go back to my bath now..." and without any other form of salutation Mu teleported away.
Ikki blinked, okay, that had been weird, maybe the heat had gotten to Mu. He shrugged and entered the Temple, he quickly exited, steering clear of Mu`s private lodging area. But as he got out he saw that Mu had prepared a vase with flowers in it, the vase looked like the ones you used to put in a cemetery. He shrugged, it was none of his business.
So Ikki continued, cursing that he was a Bronze Saint and having to stop at every House to ask permission. Aldebaran also talked with him before letting him go, he asked if he wanted some ice tea. Actually, Ikki was parched so he kindly thanked the giant for his offer. It took longer than anticipated but he finally got out of the Taurus Temple.
Ikki sighed in relief when he saw the Gemini Temple, no one was there so he didn`t bother asking. But as soon as he got inside, he had the strange feeling someone was watching him. He shivered when he felt Saga`s cosmo. Was the Gemini Saint guarding his Temple even through Death? Not taking any chances, Ikki quickly asked permission to pass the Temple.
Ikki then felt the presence dissipating, he quickly passed through, puzzled that he and Shaka never felt this before. He asked permission at the Cancer Temple, not taking any chance this time, Death Mask wasn`t a person he trusted, even dead.
When he came to the Temple of the Lion, Aiolia was outside talking with Marine. Ikki excused himself and they granted him access right away. The phoenix sighed in relief when he finally catched a glimpse of the Virgo Temple. he sure could use a few cuddling moments with Shaka and a bath!
The Temple was silent as he came in, but he was used to that, Shaka must be meditating as usual. He walked inside and blinked, there were flowers on the floor, jasmine from the sweet smell. There were also lit candles on the floor, they made a path to the bathroom.
Ikki was puzzled but he followed the flowery trail until he reached the bathroom. The room was lit only with the candles and Ikki had to adjust his vision. The bath was drawn for him and flowers were floating on top. He had to admit the bath was inviting.
Just as he was about to undress he heard a ruffle of cloth, he felt Shaka's cosmo warn him of his presence so he wouldn't be startled. From behind, he felt Shaka's hands hold the hem of his t-shirt and lift it up.
"Close your eyes and relax..." Shaka told him. Ikki could hear the sound of jewelry but he closed his eyes and felt Shaka's hands go to his zipper, then he felt the Gold Saint push down his pants. He also got rid of his underwear and socks, Ikki had already took off his sneakers at the entrance.
Shaka then guided Ikki to the bath, the youth let the older man lower him into the warm water. It was the perfect temperature, not too cold, not too warm, just enough to make him relax. Ikki opened his eyes and gasped.
"Shaka... you're... beautiful..."
Shaka looked back at him with his clear blue eyes. He wore an Indian shawl of thin coton painted with intricate symbols. He also wore jewelry from his country of origin, perfume and some slight makeup. Ikki thought he was the most beautiful person this side of creation.
Shaka smiled at him and gave him some fruit to eat. " You must be famished." He told him as he hand fed Ikki. The young man savored the melon and litchy Shaka fed him, letting their sweetness soothe him. Ikki had to admit he was hungry. Shaka continued feeding him with sweets then gave him to drink a spicy tea sweetened with honey.
Ikki wasn't used to so much attention, he actually felt a little silly at first but, after a while he loved the treatment. Shaka looked at him with such love and tenderness, Ikki couldn't help but feel a warmth go into his heart. He felt so priviledged to be loved by Shaka that his eyes started to fill with tears.
"Ikki... Don't cry Love..." Shaka kissed those tears away. "Yes... You are worthy, my darling Ikki..."
The youth hugged him. "Shaka!" he knew it was love but now it felt so much more.
Shaka took a sponge and started to wash him, taking away the grime and sweat the youth had carried with him all day. He washed his back, arms, then his chest and his legs before going back and washing him more intimately.
"Aaah..." gasped the youth. "Shaka...." He took the older man by the shoulder and guided him into the bath. Shaka let him take him into the bath, the cloth that drapped him was soon clinging to his body. Ikki saw as it became see through, Shaka's nipples, muscles and hardness. The young phoenix smiled and pulled him closer for a kiss.
But he was surprised to see that even though he had initiated it, Shaka was in command, deepening the kiss, thrusting his tongue into Ikki's mouth, nibbling his lips. Ikki shivered as new sensations excitted him, he never thought Shaka could kiss like that. Unsually shaka's kisses were unsure until passion made him wild with desire. This time it was different, as he was taking conscience just how sexy and incredible he was.
Shaka pulled back and unfastened the robe he wore until all he wore was the jewelry. He smiled at Ikki and continued to wash him, he carressed Ikki's hardness with the sponge, then his sacks and he ever went further. Ikki gasped and bit his lips not to moan but suddenly Shaka stopped. Ikki was almost out of breath, he never thought; well Shaka did excite him; but it never was this intense before.
"You're still too tensed..." purred Shaka. "I'll take care of that..." He got up as he did so he reached for a bottle that was in the bath with them. Ikki sucked in a breath as he watched the water slide down Shaka's body. His lover extended his hand and helped him up, Shaka got out of the bath and with a towel he dried himself then Ikki, leaving no places damp, much to Ikki demise. Many times the youth thought Shaka would start taking him in his mouth and the thought of it almost made him loose it.
Shaka took him to the bedroom, walking in front of the young Pheonix. The young man's vision got caught in Shaka's hips as the slim jeweled belt as it clicked and swayed with his movements.
"Sit down." Shaka told him, as Ikki did so, the blond sat down on the bed also and helped his young lover down. He took some massage oil in his hands and rubbed them together, then kneeling behind Ikki' head, he massaged his brow and temples, the going to his neck and shoulder.
Ikki could feel the tension of the day melt away, he sighed completly at ease and enjoying the way Shaka massaged him. His lover then moved to his shoulder, then arms, chest and legs. When Shaka went back up he took care of Ikki's stomach muscle. Then Ikki could feel a heat pool up in his loins when Shaka massaged the area just bellow his belly botton. As he gasped, Shaka asked him to turn around.
Ikki was barely able to do it, his limbs felt like lead and that pooling, that slow ember of desire he felt. He did feel a little ackward with that... Shaka was trying to make him relax and then his reaction...
Shaka made no show that it bothered him and as he helped Ikki on his stomach, he straddled his back. Hands started to work at the knots at his neck, shoulders and back. But Ikki could still feel Shaka's hardness against the small of his back. He started to feel aroused by the position and he realised by his own submission to the treatment. Ikki pondered as Shaka continued to massage him, if it wouldn't be too bad to surrender to Shaka tonight.
Shaka turned and worked on his legs, calves and even his toes. Ikki was close to drift into slumber when the blonde's hands ran back to the small of his back and applied some pressure there.
Ikki gasped at the relaxation and the return of his arousal, it was as if Shaka was touching points in him that turned him on. His legs opened on its own volution, Ikki felt Shaka's free oiled hand roam on his bottom. Another pressure, Ikki stiffled a moan.
"S...Shaka!" He gasped when the Gold Saint's fingers started to probe the area of his entrance, only to bypass it. Ikki groaned in disapproval but moaned a few seconds after that as Shaka attained his true goal, the area between his sacks and his entrance.
Ikki panted as Shaka caressed this area. He never thought it would feel so arousing but it was, he could feel himself grow harder. he wanted more also, more of Shaka's touch, he opened his legs more and whimpered to Shaka in a moan.
"AAAh... SH... Shaka... Please... more..." Inwardly he doubted for a few seconds that he uttered such words but when he felt Shaka's oiled finger circle his entrance all those thoughts were cast aside.
Shaka was careful, Ikki hadn't been touched there in a while and he didn't want the youth to remember unsavory memories of his former Master. But the way Ikki was moaning his name, he could tell there was nothing to fear yet. He pushed his finger slowly inside Ikki, who in his relaxed and aroused state was very receptive to. since his finger was very well oiled, it slid in easily, Ikki moaning as it got all the way in. Shaka started to move his finger in and out slowly then he picked up the pace.
Ikki panted and moaned, he had never felt pleasure like this before. No... never before like this... he remembered briefly his Master's humiliation but shaka's slow moving, loving gestures banished those thoughts away. He felt pain when Shaka pushed a second finger in, but it soon vanished because his lover was taking great care.
Shaka felt alo aroused that he was doing this to Ikki. That the young man was accepting the way he was now in charge, he was going to be dominant tonight. The younger man whimpered under his fingers whih thrilled him. To actually make ikki feel pleasure, like he had experienced himself. He could feel himself grow hard as he entered a third finger into Ikki. he wanted him, he wanted to be in him so much and the way Ikki moaned for more.
Ikki was getting overwhelmed by the sensations when he felt Shaka's finger leave him. Barely able to think he was helped by Shaka to turn on his back. The gold Saint grabbed his legs and placed them on his shoulders. Ikki gasped as Shaka grabbed his hips and his oiled hardness poking at his entrance.
"Shaka..." Ikki moaned.
"Ikki... I want you..." admitted Shaka as his free hand caressed Ikki's chest. "I want to make you experience the pleasure you give me... if you'll let me..."
"only... Only for you.. Shaka... Yes..." replied Ikki, looking at him with love and trust.
Shaka could feel tears of joy burning in his eyes. The trust Ikki had for him, moved him so. He entered him slowly, letting out a moan as he felt his hardness being encased into Ikki, how tight he was, how hot. Oh god, he thought, was it what Ikki felt as he entered him? he loved the sensations and savored as every inch of his hardness pushed in slowly but surely.
Ikki braced himself for the initial pain, he knew it would come and with it a burning sting. But it was much less worse than in his memory, it was becoming pleasant quite easilly, he could feel himself grow harder, it turned him on to be taken. It was different, a very different pleasure than when he was in Shaka's place, but nevertheless it offered the promise of esctacy just as much.
Shaka started a slow tempo, pushing in and out of his lover. Ikki started to writhe on the bed, caught up now with the pleasure. It was all that mattered now, that they were making love, that they shared a union of body. Shaka was almost overwhelemed at each stroke, Ikki was so tight and hot. It was incredible, delicious, of course he liked being taken by his lover but this was also a source of pleasure he could grow to love also.
Ikki disengaged his legs off Shaka's shoulders and wrapped them around the Gold Saint's waist. He moaning, he could feel Shaka go deeper into him, he arched.
"OOOH... Oh!.. Shaka... Shaka... Shaka..."
Shaka smiled and withough stopping his movements, he bent over and captured Ikki's lips. He was his now, his young lover, his everything. The blond deepened the kiss and was answered in kind. He felt Ikki's hands start to roam on his back. He sped up the movement, Ikki was gasping and moaning under him, Shaka could feel the esctacy about to carry him over the edge. He reached between their bodies and encircled Ikki's member with his fingers and started to move his hand.
Ikki's reaction was almost instantaneous as he nearly arched off the bed, moaning. He called out Shaka's name, moaning it like he never had before. he was so close, so close now.
Shaka continued to thrust and suddenly Ikki's walls tightened around his hardness. Ikki screamed his name and hot pleasure spilt between them, the walls around shaka getting so tight that it triggered the Gold Saint's completion. He let out a loud moan as he emptied himself into Ikki, giving a few last thrusts before collapsing on his young lover.
Ikki couldn't believe how good it had had been. He moved slightly to help Shaka be more comfotable against him. He combed with his fingers the blond hair that had becomed heavy with sweat from their lovemaking.
Shaka lifted his head and looked at Ikki with sparkling eyes. They both smiled, they both felt so good and neither one had to say it... they could feel it. They have never felt so close before. They kissed tenderly, hugging and snuggling.
"You're beautiful... and so sexy..." whispered Ikki.
"I'm returning you the compliment." smiled Shaka.
"Me?... no... I'm not as beautiful as you... I'll never be..." Ikki started but Shaka silenced him with a kiss.
"You are beautiful to me Ikki... you're more beautiful that you think..."
"Thanks.. I think..." smirked Ikki sheepishly. They snuggled once more and the heat of their bodies slowly lulled them to sleep.
***********
Ikki felt himself floating after a while. It was cold around him, his skin felt tingly. He opened his eyes slowly.
He was floating naked in a meadow where the grass and leaves of the trees were made of fire. He also saw attached to his a slivery thing that ressembled a rope. He started to get apprehensive and he had the reflex to back off.
"Don`t be afraid, Ikki..." a voice resounded out of the sky.
"Shaka?" asked Ikki.
"Yes, it`s me... Don`t worry..." the ethereal voice said.
"Shaka... Where are you? I can`t see you..." Ikki asked, wondering why he couldn`t see his lover even though the voice seemed so close.
"It`s because you are shielding yourself, my Love." Shaka reprised. "You are so used to shielding yourself from others that even to me, you shield yourself..."
"I don`t want to be alone here... Where am I?" asked Ikki.
"It`s the representation of what you perceive of yourself, your strength and weaknesses."
Ikki looked all around him, the landscape was stark and there was a great feeling of sadness and rage floating around. There was grass but ingulfed in flames, flowers were blossoms of fire, leaves were like tongues of flames that laped against metal on a gas burning stove. Even the sky was forboding and red, Ikki fought the need to roll himself into a ball, for even if there fire everywhere they gave off cold. Ikki started to gasp as faces appeared in the flames, Guilty, his former master, Esmeralda, Shun wonded by his attacks, his friends as they appeared when he attacked them, even the face they made when he didn`t know how to reach for them and ended up hurting their feelings.
"No... I want to go away... I don`t want to stay here!" Ikki didn`t like the sound of his voice, as he looked down he could see that his body had shrunk. Then suddenly, Guilty rose from the flame and walked towards him. Ikki felt panic, an old fear was rising up again, he shielded his face with his arms trembling, wincing, fearing the worst.
"Ikki..." Shaka`s soft voice talked again. "You have to fight against yourself, free yourself of these old guilts..."
Ikki felt himself growing younger, crying now. "I don`t know how!..."
"You must first forgive yourself to gain strength... You are strong Ikki, it is your gulit that traps you here, my Love..."
Ikki cried. "Make them go away!"
"I cannot my Love..." Shaka`s voice was calm but sad. "It is the battle of your soul, I can only give you guidance, if I do the batle for you, you`ll never grow... Those inner demons will continue to weight you down."
Ikki whimpered a little, Guilty continued to move towards him. Ikki then took a decision, never again he would let Guilty hurt him; he was fed up of it. His old mentor stopped dead in his tracks. Ikki blinked and saw him take another step closer.
"STAY AWAY FROM ME!!!! I WON`T LET YOU HURT ME AGAIN!!" Ikki roared gaining confidence, Guilty took a step back, the young Phoenix took a step forward, his former master backed up. "You no longer will make me cower..." said Ikki with assurance. He punched Guilty and he disapeared in a puff of smoke.
Then he saw Esmeralda as she lay dying, Shun wounded, his friends also. Ikki fell on his knees. "I`m sorry... I'm sorry . . . I never meant for you to be hurt... I cared for you Esmeralda, I wish you were still alive." He looked up and saw her smile at him. She bent and kissed his cheek, then she disapeared. Ikki felt in his heart that she had accepted his apology.
He then turned to his friends. "I`m sorry... Shun, Hyoga, Seiya, Shiryu... I just don`t know how to show I really care for you guys sometimes... I`m sorry for all those times I`ve been a jerk... I`m sorry I wasn`t there for you Shun. You never gave up on me, you always thought I could be saved. I wish I had opened up to you sooner and not cause you so much pain."
The Shun spirit embrassed him, Ikki felt tears falling down his eyes, he could feel his brother's love for him. He hugged him back. "People call you weak Shun. But you are the strongest among us..." Shun smiled at him.
"Ni-san!" He laughed and Ikki was washed with the images of Shun`s last birthday, the surprise in his eye, the delight that Ikki had thrown a secret surprise party for him with the help of the others. He saw Shun next to him as they visited their parents grave. When Shun asked for his forgiveness. "Remember the good times from now on..." Shun told him as he disapeared.
When his brother disapeared he could start to see the grass turn green and now he couls start to see the sky. He saw Hyoga smile at him before he too vanished. Hyoga, Ikki thought, as long as Shun is happy he is... Take good care of my ototo.. I trust you!
He ruffled Seiya's hair, nodded with a smile to Shiryu and shook his hand, they smiled back and they too disapeared. Ikki felt a heavy weight being lifted off his chest. He felt free, free for the first time in so many years. He felt like crying, shouting but not of pain fear or anger but of joy. Then he remembered his love.
"Shaka?" he asked again. this time there was no sound that was uttered but Ikki saw a red thread fall from the sky. He felt warmth comming from it, he extended his hands to it. As soon as it hit his hand, he could feel Shaka's presence through it. He closed his hand on it and whispered. "Shaka..."
He was instantly transported into the sky, he was travelling so far he couldn't make out anything in front of him. Until he reached an illuminated Lotus that shone from an ethereal Light.
Ikki gasped when he peered inside the Lotus petals and saw Shaka. his skin was opalescent and seemed to glow from within. His hair had the woven gold color of a field of wheat in the sun. He opened his eyes and Ikki saw that they were the most beautiful shade of blue. He was dressed as an Indian God, Shiva most certainly. He had necklaces of gold anf of silver, as well as garland of flowers. He smiled peacefully at Ikki.
"Oooh.... S...Sh... Shaka... You're... incredibly gorgeous." Ikki was finally able to say.
"So are you Ikki..."
The young man shook his head. " no one could look more lovier than you..."
"Are you so sure?... Then close your eyes..." Said the hindou as he closed his.
ikki did as he was told and suddenly fought against vertigo. He was moving?... no... it was such a weird feeling. shaka's words rang in his head. "Open your eyes..."
Ikki did so and gasped once more. He was in front of himself, as if he was looking into a mirror because the figure gasped too.
"Is that... ME?" he asked as the mirror image moved his lips accordingly.
"yes.. It is as I see you Ikki... How your soul appears to me." Shaka's voice softly spoke into his mind.
Ikki couldn't believe his eyes, or was it Shaka's eyes he was seeing through he wondered. He saw himself with longer hair, he had dark curls that shone with a certain blueish light. His eyes were like the deep blue seas, his skin was a little redder than he had in real life. He wore a gold and red kimono but what he found the most amazing was that behind him was an aureole of phoenix feathers.
"Like what you see?... ah you're blushing!"
"How can you tell?..." Asked Ikki as he was suddenly back into his body.
Shaka smiled. " I can..."
Ikki looked around. "Why are we here?... Where is here..."
" My guess is Nirvana.. the realm of the souls..." replied Shaka.
"Does... that mean we're dead?..." asked Ikki.
"No... For some reason, we were brought here..." explained Shaka.
"By who?..." Shaka shook his head, he didn't know wither. "What are we supposed to do now..."
Shaka blushed. "Well I can't touch you here..."
"Why not?..." asked Ikki as he got closer.
Shaka gasped, he face becoming more flushed. " I don't think it's... permitted..."
"Like I listen to rules anyway..." whispered Ikki as he touched his lips to shaka.
As they kissed they felt electricity flow through their body, they both gasped and reached for one another. each touch each contact was like ecstasy.
"Aaaah... Ikki... Stop... we... we shouldn't..."
"But I love you aaah... it feels so good...mmmm..."
All their senses seemed to flare all at once as they touched their body shone with the light of life and it also seemed to them, the light of love. They just held each other and felt the pleasure that came with joining it was as if they were making love at the same time. Feeling intoxicated, not knowing where one started and the other stopped. With their minds joined together the experience was heightened by the feeling and sensations of the other. They felt love though all the pores of their body and sudenly they felt it, a complete union, body and soul they were one for an instant.
*********************************
"Aaaaah... aaaaah..." Panted Ikki as he woke up. "Did I just dream?...
"Aaaahh" panted Shaka. " If you did I had the same one..."
They both lay on the bed, spent like they have never been before in their life. It was as though they had made love all night long and all day and the following night.
" I don't know about you but I ache all over... especially errr... well you know..."
started Ikki.
Shaka chuckled. " Serves you right... I told you we shouldn't have touched."
Ikki smiled. "It was worth it though..." Ikki was about to kiss Shaka again when he felt something touch his brow. A kiss?
Both he and Shaka turned bright red when they felt the fleeting presence of Athena. They both rushed to cover themselves.
"There is no shame... I just came in to bless you and your eternal union... Just like I had done to so many Saints before you... Ikki, Shaka..may you be happy in this life as in your others..."
Athena's presence disapeared, just as softly as it had came. Ikki felt strange, without thinking he gave Shaka the yellow robe that was next to the red one.
" How did you know that was the one I wanted?" Asked Shaka.
"I'm... not sure..." replied Ikki.
Shaka put on the robe and closed his eyes. He too felt strange and concentrated to know what it was. It took a certain time but he finnaly found it, in his heart. He crossed his rams over his heart smilling.
Ikki suddenly felt a warmth, it was love, Shaka's love. How was it possible? he wondered in his mind. Shaka's soft voice replied into his mind.
"We now both share a part of our soul with the other... My Love we shall never be apart... even though he cannot be together..."
Ikki took Shaka in his arms and savored the embrace. "This is the most beautiful day of my life." Shaka smiled and snuggled into his arms.

"Saori?... Saori-san?... Are you all right?" asked Jabu.
Saori opened her eyes. " Yes, I am...."
"You looked like your were in trance... Is there a problem in the world?" The Unicorn Saint asked.
Saori smiled brightly to him, he was gulping, trying to contain his emotions, she was so beautiful. " No Jabu... Everything is all right. But I need to ask you a favor..."
"A... Anything for you, Saori-san..." gulped Jabu.
"I need your help... to make a few miracles happen..." She smiled.
