Chapter 5
Hakuei pulled open the door to his room and cautiously poked his head inside to see if Rose was there. He was still nervous about how his princess would react. Sometimes Rose was a little bit of a brat, but Hakuei felt he might've deserved that treatment today.
Rose raised his eyes from the book he had been trying to read just for a second, quickly deciding to ignore Hakuei. He adjusted his skirt, that was rolled up to his mid-thigh for comfort, making it cover everything to his ankles. The blonde leaned down further on the pillows, using the book to obscure his face.
Hakuei moved over to Rose's side a moment later, deciding that even if Rose could hit him with the book, he wanted to see his lover's face. "Rose...I'm sorry."
Rose simply used the other side of the bed to get up, going to lean on the wall beside the window and making a show of being entertained by his book.
Hakuei moved behind Rose and slid his arms around him. "Don't be like this, Rose. I was just worried about you. I don't know what I would do if I suddenly lost you."
"Really? And why would he kill me for knocking on his door?" Rose frowned, untying his shawl so Hakuei could see the marks on his arm. "You hurt me..." He walked out of the embrace, going to curl up on a big cushioned chair.
"It wasn't Satsuki I was worried about." Hakuei admitted, frowning. "And I didn't mean to hurt you, but you weren't listening."
Rose frowned back, but now there was a slight worry on his features."Who were you worried about? That ghost?" He sat up straight in the chair, forgetting he was mad at Hakuei. "You know something about it, don't you?"
"Maybe..." Hakuei muttered, shrugging his shoulders. He moved over to Rose and held his hand. "But if it is who I think it is...he'd love to hurt you if he had a reason to."
Rose sighed, shaking his head to himself. "I want to ask you who it is, but why do I have the feeling you're not telling me anything soon?" He ignored the fact Hakuei had grasped his hand, but didn't pull it back either.
"It's for your own good." Hakuei said, picking Rose up easily in his arms and bringing him back over to the bed.
Rose crossed his arms, pouting and playing with a loose strand of his shirt. "I'm still mad at you."
Hakuei smiled and kissed Rose's neck, pulling his lover close to him in a tight embrace. "I love you." He whispered into the other's ear, hoping that it would be enough to soften him up.
Rose sighed and rolled his eyes, lifting his arms to Hakuei's neck. "You love playing dirty, don't you?" He tried to hide it, but the corners of his mouth kept turning upwards.
Hakuei nodded in response, placing a kiss on Rose's lips. It was easy to fix any little problem in their relationship with those words. Though he meant them every time.
Rose smiled, snuggling closer to Hakuei. "You're terrible. But I love you too..."
That brought a smile to the pirates lips as he showered Rose with kisses. "I promise I'll make it up to you."
Kyo sighed, stretching his arms above his head. They were finally getting close to the island and he could already see a faint outline of it on the horizon. He took his hat off, using it as a fan while walking to the helm, where Satsuki was guiding. With a grin, he pressed himself flush against the captain's body, sliding his arms around the thin waist and trying to knock the blonde's hat off with his nose. "How is my favorite siren feeling under all this sun?" The temperature was indeed high right now, sun rays bathing all the ship with no mercy, making it feel like a big stove was slowly cooking them.
Satsuki looked behind him and squirmed slightly within Kyo's arms, pouting in discomfort. "Too hot..." He said, trying to pull his shirt away from his skin some as it stuck uncomfortably to him with sweat.
Kyo groaned, slowly undoing his hug. "I know... Then at night it will be cold. Perfect, just great." He pointed to the island, squinting his eyes to see it under the bright sun. "We're almost there though. Tell me we can rest with the water reaching our waists without worry about sharp teeth nibbling on our legs, please?" He whined, quickly working Satsuki's long hair on a ponytail, using a handkerchief to hold it away from the siren's sweaty neck.
"Mm, a swim sounds so nice now." Satsuki muttered as he turned to give Kyo a kiss. It was true that they were almost there and Satsuki was thankful. The island should be pretty deserted so they would have no trouble exploring it.
Kyo smiled at him, refraining from getting any closer to hug him because of the hot weather. "So, no sharks? Then I would like to swim with you."
"There's even a pretty waterfall on the island that we can swim around." Satsuki said, smiling as well. "I'll take you there after we reach the shore."
Nao walked up the stairs, handing each of them a big glass of water. "There you go, I though you could use it." He grinned when several whines erupted from the tired crew, most of them sprawled on the ground or any shadow they could find. At least there was a little breeze still moving them towards the island. "Go get your own!"
"Thank you, Nao." Satsuki said, smiling at the cook before he gulped down all the water. "That's right, get your lazy asses up anyway! We have to anchor the ship soon and row to the island."
"You're welcome captain..." He stepped closer to the siren, twisting his hands with a clear nervous look on his face. "What should I do about Saga? He can't stay alone on the ship once we reach the shore."
"Stay on the ship with him. I think it would be the best." Satsuki said. They needed a few people to watch over the ship anyway.
Nao could not hide the displeased expression that took hold of his face, but nodded. He was always the first one to hop out of the boat, running the rest of the distance to the beach, glad to be back on earth. But he was fine with it as long as Saga was okay. "I'm going to check on him. Excuse me."
Satsuki nodded and continued to steer the ship, deciding maybe he'd give Nao and Saga a chance to get off the ship a little later, when everyone else was distracted.
Kyo sighed when he finally felt the earth under the sole of his boots, helping to pull the boat to the beach. After that was done, he looked back at the little boat, making sure Satsuki was alright, and then at the island, smiling at the cool breeze that reached his face. He grabbed his bag and helped to take some other supplies to the sand quickly, eager to explore the untouched land.
Once all the boats were there, Satsuki directed everyone on where to set up camp since they would probably be searching the island for a few days. He had even allowed their prisoners a little time outside on the island, giving them more of the freedom they wanted.
Kyo had decided to sleep under the stars, so he didn't really have anything to do right now. He walked to the captain and slid his hat down until it covered his face, smirking at his own actions. "You're not getting away from giving me a tour."
Satsuki laughed and turned to Kyo, pulling the hat off and kissing the cartographer. "I'll start it in a second, impatient one."
Kyo grinned at him, playfully nibbling on the salty skin of his neck before sucking on his earlobe. "And we still have that swim!" He nuzzled his nape, whispering. "I want to see your tail."
Satsuki slid his arms around Kyo, sighing. "Oh fine, let's go. I'll show you my spot." He said, before taking Kyo's hand and starting to walk off into the jungle.
Kyo happily followed, sighing when the sun was not able to reach his abused skin anymore.
Satsuki led Kyo to a small pool of water with a waterfall pouring into it. He quickly shed his clothes since no one else but Kyo was around, anxious to get into the cool water.
Kyo smiled and did the same, walking into the water until it reached his neck. "Oh damn... That's good." He groaned, feeling much more comfortable.
Satsuki stepped deep enough into the water before letting his tail form and he dove under the water, swimming over to Kyo.
Kyo looked in awe at the distorted form of Satsuki swimming to him under the clear water. It was really a tail! "Oh my god..."
Satsuki rose from the water again and slid his arms around Kyo, pressing against him and letting him feel the scaled tail that shimmered beneath the surface of the water.
Kyo ran his hands down Satsuki's back, gasping when he felt the scales down his waist. "That's amazing..." He walked back to the shallow, so he could sit with Satsuki on his lap and stare at the beautiful, shining tail, out of the water.
Satsuki lifted his tail a bit as he sat in Kyo's lap and leaned against him comfortably. It'd been a while since he'd been able to do this around someone.
Kyo leaned down to kiss Satsuki, one finger rubbing the place where skin turned into scales, the other arm around his back to keep him in his lap. "Hmmm...Can you breath underwater?"
Satsuki nodded and grinned devilishly as he slipped from Kyo's lap. "Why don't I show you how helpful that can be?" He asked in a suggestive tone as he dipped under water, letting his tail flick up. The siren ran his hands over Kyo's thighs, parting them as he kissed along them under the water, working closer to his goal.
Kyo gasped at the sensation, but actually laughed at the swinging tail. This was an impossible situation, but felt really good. He couldn't wait to really be with Satsuki that way, and he hoped that tonight they would finally be able to do it.
Satsuki smiled under the water and took hold of Kyo's cock, sliding his tongue over it and gently taking the head into his mouth. He sucked around it, easily adjusting to accomplishing this underwater.
Kyo shivered at the new feeling. It wasn't unpleasant at all, just weird. He gasped when Satsuki closed his mouth around his arousal, now more familiar with the feeling, letting his head fall back and quickly hardening under the siren's touch.
Satsuki moaned around the hardening flesh, taking more into his mouth. He wanted to get Kyo completely aroused before he did anything else.
Kyo gasped again, one hand flying to the flowing hair of Satsuki, petting it the best he could. It was less then a minute before he was fully hard and panting, the luscious feeling around his cock too perfect for him to hold back.
Satsuki moved away and lifted his head out of the water, climbing back on Kyo's lap. "Useful, isn't it?"
Kyo panted, glaring at Satsuki for stopping the wonderful sensations. He ran a hand down the silver tail and leaned forward to kiss Satsuki deeply, groaning when their tongues met. "Legs, please." He didn't stop to wait for the siren to change back, just attacked the pale neck with open-mouthed kisses.
Satsuki soon changed, the tail being replaced by the normal human lower half. He moaned softly, wrapping his legs around Kyo's waist as he let his head fall back to expose more of his neck.
Kyo held him close, sliding back into the water a bit. His mouth went up again, kissing Satsuki's lips with slow strokes of his tongue, free hand tangled on the blond locks. "Hm... You taste so good..."
"Mm..." Satsuki hummed in satisfaction, pressing against Kyo's now cool body. He shifted his fingers through the dark strands of hair as he returned the kiss, not minding taking it slow when they had this place all to themselves.
Kyo groaned low in his throat, walking to a big rock and pressing Satsuki's back against it, so he could lean on the blonde and make the contact easier. He nibbled on the pirate's collarbone and took a nipple into his mouth, sucking gently. The cartographer's hips thrust forward almost on their own, making him moan again.
Satsuki shivered as the cold surface of the rock hit his back, though Kyo's body heated his own up in no time. He groaned softly, rocking his hips up against Kyo's as he tugged on the other's hair, enjoying the attention given to him.
Kyo slid a hand down to grasp Satsuki's cock and stroked it once before letting go with a frustrated noise. He looked up at the mostly smooth surface of the huge rock and walked back a bit, motioning up. "Let's get over there. Unlike you, I can't work underwater." He smirked, tugging on the siren's thigh so he would lift up his leg and accept some help to climb.
After a small sound of protest, Satsuki climbed up a bit on the rock to make it easier for Kyo to work. Anything to get him to continue. They'd been interrupted enough.
Kyo decided to stay in the water for now, looking up the rock one last time to make sure it had room for both of their bodies laying down. Good, everything was working well this time. The cartographer kissed his way up the long legs, nibbling on the soft skin, one hand lazily starting to work on Satsuki's hard-on.
Satsuki's breath caught and he gently rolled his hips into Kyo's hand as their actions resumed. "Please, Kyo..." He begged, tugging gently on the other's hair.
"Mmm.... Please what?" He smirked, giving a teasing little lick to the head of his arousal. "You have to tell me what you want..." He settled down for kissing the captain's stomach with heated kissed, hands dancing on the blonde's lower back with feather touches.
"Ahhn..." Satsuki moaned pitifully, looking down at Kyo with a pleading expression. "Kyooo...." He whined softly, tugging the cartographer's hair again.
Kyo took pity on him and licked the engorged head again, slowly letting it slip into his mouth and sucking gently. One of his hands came to rest on Satsuki's legs, tracing teasing circles on the sensitive skin on his thighs before going down, applying soft pressure to the captain's entrance, not forcing the finger in.
Satsuki trembled, parting his legs more and moaning, along with small whispers of Kyo's name. He pressed back against the finger at his entrance, not objecting to it at all.
Kyo smirked around his mouthful, taking the finger away from Satsuki's entrance. Not yet, he decided, the now free hand going to take a hold of Satsuki's hip, mouth taking a little more of the siren's arousal in and sucking.
Satsuki let out a soft whine, trying to thrust his hips up a bit into the wonderful feeling of Kyo's mouth wrapped around his need. He didn't know how long he'd last if Kyo kept that up.
Kyo moaned around Satsuki's need, one last bit of stimulation before he let go. He smirked up at the captain, right hand taking hold of the slick arousal and caressing up and down slowly. The cartographer bit the blonde's lower stomach, eyes turned up, dirty expression not leaving his face once. "Maybe I should go up there, hmm?"
"Stop teasing." Satsuki breathed with a little pout as he gently tugged on Kyo's hair again.
Kyo groaned, not being able to ignore his own need anymore. He let go of Satsuki and climbed on the stone too, tugging on the siren's shoulder so he would lay down. The cartographer moaned when he let his lips slide slowly atop of Satsuki's, already missing his kisses.
Satsuki closed his eyes, enjoying the kisses as their lips met again. He slid his arms around Kyo's shoulders, wishing to keep the other there.
Kyo laid down half in top of Satsuki, kissing him until the need for something else was unbearable. He kissed his way down, stopping at the other's belly to quickly suck on his own fingers. He slid his hand down and circled the siren's entrance gently, forcing a slick digit inside.
Satsuki groaned as he felt Kyo begin to stretch him. He pushed back against the finger, eager to feel more within him.
Kyo had just worked a second finger in when rain started to pour down suddenly, making him yelp and sit back, taking his fingers out. "Damn... Someone up there is against us..." He groaned, looking down at Satsuki with a frown.
Satsuki sighed, pulling Kyo closer and kissing him. "I don't want to stop..." He said, though he didn't want to make Kyo sick by having him stay out in the rain.
Kyo smirked against Satsuki's mouth, whispering before working both of his fingers inside again. "Hmmm...Will you take care of me if I get sick?" He twisted the digits until he was able to rub the bundle of nerves deep inside the siren.
Satsuki cried out softly in surprise and pleasure, rolling back against the fingers within him. He nodded in response to Kyo's question, smiling at his lover a bit. Even though the rain kept falling, it only made the experience more thrilling, in Satuski's opinion.
Kyo took his fingers out and very slowly forced a third in, this one with a little more difficulty then the others. "Am I hurting you?" He frowned at the tightness, moaning low on his throat at thinking about it around his need.
Satsuki shook his head, moving back against the fingers as he whispered Kyo's name in pleasure. The little pricks of pain didn't bother him, not when he was this close to being with Kyo for the first time.
Kyo felt a shiver run down his spine, but he knew it wasn't from the cold rain. Right now he felt hot and bothered, ready for the final step. He took his fingers out carefully, settling between Satsuki's legs with a groan. The cartographer lifted one of the captain legs to his shoulder, kissing the wet skin. "Ready?"
Satsuki nodded, laying back against the rock and letting out a cool breath. "Please..."
Kyo forced himself inside with a long thrust, gasping at the tightness. He didn't move his hips, gently unhooking Satsuki's leg from his shoulder and letting it rest on the rock, not wanting to strain the muscles. He leaned his head down, kissing the siren's lips to relax him, hips starting with a experimental shallow thrust.
Satsuki shivered with excitement, moaning against Kyo's lips as he returned the kiss. He spread his legs out to make it easier for Kyo to move, enjoying the small movements. He didn't want it to be over too fast.
Kyo moaned, parting their lips so he could look at Satsuki. He moved again, more forcefully this time, reaching deeper inside the soft body. With a groan, he set a pace, not being able to handle slow and gentle for more then a couple seconds. They been interrupted too many times.
Satsuki's head fell back while the waves of pleasure washed over him. He closed his eyes, panting softly as raindrops continued to hit their bodies, cooling them in the heat of their passion.
"Don't close your eyes, look at me..." Kyo panted, speeding up his thrusts just a little bit. He groaned, fingers scratching the rock under him at the pleasure that kept escalating much faster then he would have like it to.
Satsuki opened his eyes as he caught Kyo's hands in his own, leading one of them down to his hardened cock. "Touch me..." He begged, moving back with each of Kyo's thrusts.
Kyo did, stroking Satsuki's arousal up and down fast, already feeling the first shiver that told him he would be very soon losing control. The cartographer changed the angle sometimes, looking for the deep spot inside the siren that had made him cry out before.
"Ahhn!" Satsuki cried out as that spot was hit a few times and he lost all control, releasing into Kyo's hand not a moment later.
Kyo gasped when Satsuki's body spasmed, ripping his orgasm out of him by surprise. He moaned loudly, but his voice barely could be heard under the pouring rain. Once he was finished, white spots danced in front of his eyes and the muscles of his arms gave in, making him fall on the siren's spent body, hiding his head on the other's neck.
Satsuki slid his arms around Kyo to keep him warm with body heat as he kissed his lover gently on the lips, his nerves still tingling with the pleasant afterglow of his climax.
Kyo kissed back slowly, wanting to stay like that forever. But he was quickly growing cold and the rain was not comfortable anymore. With a sigh of regret, he left Satsuki's body, kneeling on the rock. "Your back hurts?" He kissed Satsuki's right hip, sliding a hand to his back to check on the scratches the rock may have done.
Satsuki stretched a bit and looked over his shoulder as he sat up. "It could be worse. Let's just go get dried off." He said, standing to collect their clothes and get dressed once more.
Kyo nodded, struggling to pull on his wet clothes. He grimaced when he stepped in his drenched boots, eager to be dry and be warm again. Maybe he would ask Satsuki to come back to the captain's cabin if the rain didn't stop.
They trudged back to the campsite, where Satsuki got into his own little tent that had been set up earlier, before Kyo dragged him off. He undressed again and curled up in the blankets, waiting for Kyo to join him. He trusted that all his crew was settled in their shelters or back on the boat by now.
Kyo joined him in the tent, happy to get rid of his wet clothes. After taking them off, he snuggled close to Satsuki under the warm covers, sighing in happiness. It wasn't long before the sound of falling rain lulled him to sleep.
Reita walked around, helping the crew until all the tents were up and safe. He then went to Ruki, happy to not have to make lunch, since every pirate preferred do his own cooking when they were on land. He grabbed his bag and two fishing rods, which he borrowed from Nao, smiling at the shorter blonde. "Up for some fishing?"
"Fishing?" Ruki asked, raising an eyebrow. He'd never done that before.
Reita laughed, walking to the jungle and motioning for Ruki to follow him. "Yeah, fishing. Come on, it will be fun." He took a big knife from his belt and handed it to the blonde, it's twin still safely at his waist. "Let's find a river around here, it's probably not far, the jungle looks green and healthy." He stepped over the first bush on their way and smiled at the much more pleasant temperature. "We could fish in the sea, but it's much calmer and easier if we find some fresh water."
"I'm not sure I want to go in there." Ruki commented, eyeing the jungle wearily. He glanced over his shoulder as the crew gathered on the beach, wondering if staying with them was any safer.
Reita grinned at him, reaching for his hand and pulling him closer. "Don't be a crybaby. It's okay, I know what I'm doing, we're gonna be fine. Oh look! Boars." He pointed to his right, knowing that the sight of the huge pigs would scare Ruki.
Ruki screamed and hid behind Reita at just the name, peeking over his shoulder to see if they would attack.
The boars stopped sniffing the ground to look at them, but quickly resumed their tasks. Reita giggled, starting to walk again, already listening to a faint noise of running water. "Relax, we're almost there. It's much closer then I thought."
Ruki followed behind Ruki cautiously, frowning to himself. He was still unsure about this.
Reita smiled when they reached the river, sitting down on a rock and handing Ruki one of the fishing rods. "See? Here we are, and in one piece. Now..." He dug in the ground with his right hand a little, soon making several earthworms appear on the humid ground. "Grab one and put it on the hook, city boy."
Ruki made a face, shaking his head. "I'm not touching those."
Reita rolled his eyes, preparing both fishing rods before walking to the river and cleaning his hand. He walked back, choosing one rod and throwing the line in, sitting on a rock nearby. "Come on, it's easy. Catch your dinner, city boy. So cute, look at the monkeys..." He pointed to the other side of the river, almost choking with laughter at showing Ruki yet more wild life.
Ruki grumbled under his breath as he leaned against Reita. "I'll stick to fruit then." The monkeys didn't bother him much...because they were on the other side.
Reita rolled his eyes once again, getting hold of the other's rod and sticking it in the ground, arranging some stones around to keep it in place. "You're no fun. You could have stayed on the beach if you wanted to." He looked up when a thunder echoed, a very gentle rain starting to fall soon after. "Great, now you're probably more mad at me. Here, hold this." He shoved the fishing rod in Ruki's hand and walked to a tree, climbing up with ease. Soon he disappeared between the leaves and huge, round apples fell to the soft ground.
Ruki moved over and collected the fruit for them, staying under the shelter of the tree. Though it was nice to have the cool rain coming down around them. "I came because I wanted to be with you, Reita."
Reita jumped down when he still was halfway down the tree. "The rod!" He ran quickly to it, shooing away a monkey who thought it was funny to steal people's things. He made a hole for it on the ground too, finally turning to Ruki. "Sorry about that... I wanted to be with you too, that's why I invited you along..." He blushed, pushing some of his wet hair out of his face.
Ruki put the apples in a little pile and pulled Reita closer to him, moving his fingers through the slave's hair before he leaned in for a kiss.
Reita let him this time, shyly kissing back, slowly parting his lips to Ruki.
Ruki gently rubbed Reita's back as he deepened the kiss, slowly sliding his tongue over the other's lips.
After a second of hesitation, Reita slid his tongue to meet Ruki's, a bolt of pleasure running through his body and making him gasp. Ruki's lips were so soft under his own, more rough and dry for being under the sun everyday.
Ruki held the slave closer, enjoying the moment between them since it had taken so much convincing to get Reita to trust him. He wasn't trying to take it any further though, not wanting to scare him off.
Reita parted them with a smile, pointing to the fishing-rod swinging behind them. "Something bit it." He walked to the rod and started to work on reeling their dinner in, a stupid happy expression not leaving his face for a second.
Ruki smiled at Reita and moved behind him, sliding his arms around the slave's waist. "Will you share?"
Reita laughed, still fighting with the fish. "Of course I will, if you want it. I thought city boy would prefer fruits?" He struggled a bit and finally the big salmon was out of the water. "Oh, that's a good one."
"It's fine when you catch it." Ruki said, smirking a bit.
Reita smirked back and held the line up until the fish stopped struggling, a rather cruel sight on his opinion, but much better then beating the poor thing to death. "Get a cloth for me to wrap it, will you? I've got some inside my bag... If we don't hide it, the others will steal our dinner." He fought to take the hook out of the fish's mouth, still smiling to himself. He felt so at ease with Ruki, even after that kiss.
Ruki did as he was told, getting the cloth from the bag to wrap the fish in. "Shouldn't we make a fire and cook it up?"
Reita wrapped the fish and handed other cloth to Ruki, so he would do the same with the fruits, delivering a shy kiss to the short blonde's cheek. "We will, silly. Just not here. Let's go to the beach, a little away from the others. There's too many things that can easily catch fire here... Besides, it's raining."
Ruki nodded and held the little wrapped up packages of food as they left the river bank.
Reita guided them back to the sand, walking away from the crew until they could barely see them. "I think that's a good spot. There's even enough wood for us to burn here." He settled on the ground, fishing through his bag for some things they would need.
Ruki sat down and set the food down, watching Reita work and set up the fire. It was almost embarrassing how little he knew about things like this.
Reita handed him a bowl and pointed to the knife he had given him. "Cut the apples in pieces please." He smiled at the lost expression on Ruki's face, crawling on the sand and planting his lips on top of Ruki's. Now that he had the first taste, it was hard to let it go. He just wanted to sit back and keep kissing him all day.
Ruki smiled and began cutting up the apples, gaining confidence with Reita's kiss. He picked up on of the pieces and lifted it to Reita's lips for the slave to eat.
Reita took a bite before starting to clean the fish, happy about the good meal he was about to have and the wonderful company. "So, tell me. What were you doing there at the club, all by yourself?"
"Looking for something to do, maybe someone to spend time with." Ruki answered, focusing on his little task again. "And I found someone..."
Reita looked up from his task briefly to smile at Ruki, shaking his head to himself. "You're so nice, even if we have kidnaped you..."
"Only because I like you so much." Ruki replied, smiling and taking a piece of an apple for himself.
Reita turned his head down to hide his blush, finally finished with cutting the fish. He cleaned his hands on the cloth and set on getting the fire ready. "You're not bad either..." He said after a while, voice low and lips turned up in a smirk.
"Though you would be more appealing without fish guts all over your hands." Ruki pointed out, smirking as well.
Reita laughed, throwing some sticks together and quickly setting them on fire with a little bit of the gas he got from the lamps and matches. "It's only blood. Don't worry, I will wash my hands before getting started on your food, sir."
"You will wash them before you get any other kisses too." Ruki added, teasing a bit.
Reita laughed and got up, walking to the sea and taking a cloth with him. "Ok, I'll wash my hands, you start on the fish." He walked to sea, humming to himself.
Ruki poked the fish with a stick to get it close to the fire and cooked. He watched Reita walk down and wash his hands in the water, smiling at the slave's back. Who knew that the kidnaping would lead him to someone who he could really give his heart to.
Reita quickly turned back at the first drops of water, grabbing the bowl of fish and apples and taking it under the trees, where it barely rained. He sighed, watching their fire die down in a second. "Come on, Ruki, let's eat." He handed a fork to the other and choose a piece of the raw meat to himself, not really bothered. It was much better then being hungry and the salmon had a rich taste anyway.
Ruki leaned against Reita under the tree as they ate. "Damn rain."
Reita nodded, munching on a piece of apple. "But at least it will be fresh at night. It was too hot anyway..." It would probably be cold, what was not so bad, Reita decided. It was a good excuse to snuggle.
"I hope it stops soon..." Ruki muttered, looking at the sky. Otherwise, they'd have to sleep against the tree or get drenched.
Reita nodded, taking the last piece of fish and taking the bowl away. "It's just a quick rain, it will go away." He laid down and rested his head on Ruki's lap, snuggling as close as he could.
Ruki smiled and ran his fingers through Reita's hair, enjoying the closeness. He leaned back against the tree himself, closing his eyes.
Reita was asleep in seconds, okay with having nothing to do for the next few hours, the sound of the rain shooting him. He barely slept before the kidnaping, so sleeping this many hours in the same day was just fine with him.
Toshiya decided to stay near the crew, too afraid of wandering off and losing himself in the middle of the jungle. He chose the less scary group of men and sat near them on the sand, hoping that maybe he would be invited for lunch. The brunette sighed, looking at Ruki and Reita and cursing himself for being such a idiot before, ending up with alone and starved.
Hiroto spotted Toshiya near by and crawled over to him, offering some fruit that he found growing on the island. "You looked hungry." He explained, giving Toshiya a little goofy smile.
Toshiya accepted the fruit with a suspicious look to Hiroto. Why was this kid being nice to him? But every doubt he had about the shorty were gone when he bit the fruit, sweet juice filling his mouth and making his stomach rumble. He ate all of it eagerly, smiling at the other man. "Thank you... what's your name?"
"Hiroto." The cabin boy replied, laying back on the sand, then hissing and sitting back up. "It's way too hot on the beach." He whined with a small pout.
Toshiya agreed, wiping away a bead of sweat that rolled down his forehead. "Maybe we should go sit closer to the jungle. At least find some shade."
"I think we should explore the jungle. Should be much cooler in there and we might be able to find more fruit." Hiroto suggested, standing up and offering a hand to Toshiya.
Toshiya eyed him wearily, but ended up accepting the hand offered to him. "Do you think it's wise? We don't have any equipment..." His stomach growled again, making him blush and hold his flat belly. "Okay, but only until we find some fruit."
Hiroto smiled at Toshiya and led him into the jungle. "It shouldn't be too far anyway."
Toshiya looked around and bit his lips, jumping at everything and anything that touched his skin. The jungle was pretty dense and he suddenly missed the killer sun, crossing his arms around himself. "Hm... Hiroto? Maybe we shouldn't."
"Are you scared?" Hiroto teased, smirking at Toshiya. "Come on, I think I hear water...like a waterfall."
Toshiya frowned and reached to slap Hiroto playfully on the head. "As a matter of fact, yes I am. I live in the city, I'm not use to wander around this kind of...environment."
"Don't slap me. I can leave you in the jungle and then what would you do?" Hiroto threatened, though only teasingly. He took Toshiya's hand again and moved toward the sound of water. "Come on, we can at least get something to drink."
Toshiya nodded, thinking that a bath under the soft rain didn't sound terrible either. He stopped though, when he heard some voices, pulling on Hiroto's arm to make him stop too. "I think someone is already there..."
Hiroto's curiosity took over and he pulled Toshiya along anyway just to see who it was. He ducked behind some bushes with Toshiya, poking his head above it slightly to see.
Toshiya hissed at Hiroto, trying to pull him back again when he caught a glimpse of the cartographer's hair. "Let's go, I have enough problem with that idiot already!"
"Huh? I wanna see." Hiroto strained to see what was going on and blushed once he figured it out. He ducked his head down again, nodding to Toshiya.
Toshiya lifted an eyebrow at him, his curiosity getting the best of him now. His much taller frame streched further and he gasped at what he saw, quickly ducking back behind the bush. "I think I'm hallucinating..."
"Well, I knew Satsuki was a siren, but..." Hiroto blushed more as he remembered what he saw him doing.
Toshiya looked at Hiroto with wide eyes, quickly stretching again to confirm the scene. "Are you telling me that these stupid sailor tales are true?" He gasped, a lot paler than before. "What about sea dragons and giant squids?"
Hiroto nodded a bit. "But usually they only bother those that go into their territory." He answered, glancing over the bushes again. "Heh, looks like Satsuki's head is back up..."
Toshiya just sat there quietly, trying to swallow all that new information hard to believe. "Let's just get out of here and leave them alone. I can't even imagine what would happen to us if psycho there realized we're here...I need to think anyway."
Hiroto crawled away from the bushes carefully and stood up again once he was far enough away.
Toshiya followed him, refusing to look back at the scene of that stupid cartographer touching the beautiful siren. He had enough when Satsuki lured him to the ship, enchanting him with his charm and good looks and then refusing him.
"You ok?" Hiroto asked, looking over at Toshiya. He seemed to be really troubled by everything he saw.
Toshiya looked at Hiroto as if he had grown a second head, wrapping both arms around himself again. "You told me that your captain is a siren and that there are sea dragons and giant squids that can break a ship in two... How can you ask me that? I was educated to not believe in these stupid tales!" He panted after his outburst, faintly realizing they were not taking the same route back.
"Well, you were educated wrong." Hiroto pointed out. "Besides, how can you not realize Satsuki is a siren when he uses his songs on you?"
Toshiya kept quiet at this, thinking about it himself. He was barely aware of the songs, not noticing the spell being thrown over him until it was too late. When he was already enchanted, he didn't feel awkard at all, just eager to please Satsuki. The brunette sighed and shook his head to himself, looking around the jungle. "Where are we going?"
That question seemed to stump Hiroto too as he stared ahead at the path, his mouth hanging slightly. "Shit." He said helpfully.
Toshiya stopped too, watching Hiroto with a horrified face. "'Shit' what?" He asked in a low tone, even though he already had a pretty good idea of what was going on. He looked around one more time, just the sound of ruffling leaves reaching his ears.
Hiroto paled a bit and considered running, though that would get him more lost. He looked down at the ground in shame. "I guess I didn't pay attention..." He muttered quietly.
Toshiya stepped closer to Hiroto, fighting the urge to curl up in a ball and cry. It wasn't enough that he was being held prisoner, now he had to get lost in the hostile jungle too? "Let's try walking back to the river..." He was too scared to fight his only company right now, but he was sure he would beat the hell out of the shorty when they were safe.
Hiroto nibbled on his lip in nervousness, trying to remember where that was. He'd gotten a little turned around, though he really didn't want to admit that to Toshiya.
Toshiya pointed to a big tree to the left. Okay, he remembered that. "Let's walk in that direction..."
"Are you sure?" Hiroto asked, looking over at the tree. He wasn't too sure about that direction.
Toshiya snapped at that, too nervous to be talked to. "No! But do you have a better idea? Do you remember anything or were you too turned on by the sight of your freakish captain to be able to?"
Hiroto turned his head down again and he was silent before he started walking off further into the jungle, leaving Toshiya there to fend for himself. He’d rather try to find his way on his own than deal with the spoiled brat being mean.
Toshiya's jaw dropped, not used to being ignored like that. He watched the other's back retreating and quickly regretting his actions. "H-hey, where are you going?" He stumbled to follow him, looking behind himself several times. Was it getting dark really early in the afternoon or was it just his imagination?
"Well, you sounded like you didn't need me." Hiroto commented, looking over his shoulder. "So I might as well leave you alone."
Toshiya kept quiet, following Hiroto, too afraid of being alone. When there weren't any more sounds but their footsteps and the sun was hidden, he whispered. "Hiroto... There's something wrong..."
Hiroto nodded, glancing up. It seemed a little early for it to be this dark. He saw the clouds starting to gather overhead and soon a downpour of rain washed down and began sinking into their clothes. Hiroto huffed softly to himself, hugging his shoulders. "We should find someplace to rest out of the rain. There's no way we'll find our way back in this."
Toshiya nodded, taking the hair out of his face and looking around. There was nowhere to hide, so he kept walking, finally facing a big wall of solid rock. "Damn..."
"Come on." Hiroto grabbed Toshiya's arm and pulled him along the rocky wall until they reached the opening of a cave. "This'll be ok..."
Toshiya sighed and squeezed himself inside the opening, curling up in a ball on the floor, after being sure there were no spiders or snakes around. "This is ridiculous... I should be in my house now, eating good food and playing the piano..."
Hiroto snuck in next and shrugged, looking around for things to build a fire with. Anything that was dry enough. "Well, not everything can be perfect."
Toshiya looked away, annoyed at the short brat... Too bad he was stuck with him in the middle of the jungle, or he would already have strangled him twice. He didn't moved a muscle to look for wood or anything, after all, it was the other's job.
Hiroto managed to start a little fire after much searching and cursing when the stuff refused to light. It wouldn't last long. He began peeling off the wet clothes, squeezing the water out of them, before setting them beside the fire to dry.
Toshiya disposed of his wet boots, but kept the rest of the outfit, hugging himself. Great, just fucking perfect. His life sucked so much right now, it was almost funny.
Hiroto took a little bundle of food that he was saving for himself out and slid it over to Toshiya, feeling a bit sorry for getting him lost. He then scooted closer to the fire to keep himself warm in the damp cave.
Toshiya stared at the food from the corner of his eye, waiting until Hiroto turned his back to him to reach for it. He only ate half of the food though, sliding it back to the shorter man. With a sigh, he laid down the best he could in the confined space, closing his eyes.
Hiroto looked over and ate the rest of the food before curling up by the dying fire, shivering. He was going to be sick in the morning. He hoped by then it would stop raining so they could head back.
Toshiya sighed at the sight of the shivering boy, taking a few papers from his pockets. There were invitations, addresses and cards, everything the had gotten the afternoon he was kidnaped, at the club. With a flick of his wrist, the threw the first four cards in the fire, happy to see it come back to life. "Here, handle this..." He handed a bunch of papers to the short man, laying back down laying back down soon after.
Hiroto smiled a bit, tossing the papers in. "You really have no experience with this stuff. Paper takes less that 5 seconds to burn. It doesn't provide much heat or do anything to keep the fire going."
Toshiya made a face at him, turning his back to the cave's entrance and facing the damp wall. "I was trying to help. I have nothing else to burn, just my socks... and they're wet."
Hiroto bit his lip and moved over behind Toshiya, snuggling against his back for warmth.
Toshiya did nothing to stop him, feeling cold himself. It was a nice added warm to the damp cold atmosphere, so he just laid there, unable to sleep, listening to the rain.
Hiroto apparently had no trouble sleeping though, because he was snoring the next minute, no doubt making a little pile of drool behind Toshiya as well. But he was used to sleeping in odd places.
