Beyond the Woods and Mountains

Chapter 3

The next day, Hakkai was busy in his hut with Kougaiji discussing the clans. Now that they were one clan, they had to organize various subjects such as: food, weapons, laws, financial, morals, standards and values. It was not something that could be done in one day, but something that they had to work on quickly. Sanzo had returned from the hunt and Gojyo was busying himself with training the warriors, or at least, that is what he told everyone. The warriors were training on their own, with Jien being there to keep some order. Gojyo was lounging back on a fallen tree, his hands folded behind his head. He chewed on a piece of wheat as he watched the clouds pass overhead. His vision was suddenly darkened by a shadow.

“You sit here relaxing and my brother is working his ass off?” Sanzo said with a ‘tsk’. “And you call yourself a chief.” He scoffed.

“Hey, listen Goldie, Hakkai TOLD me that he and Kou would do it, so I don’t have to worry about it.”

“Don’t call me ‘Goldie’ again. And just to point out, Hakkai thinks you are BUSY training the warriors.” He crossed his arms and Gojyo spit out the wheat.

“I did it already, I’m just taking a little break.” He smirked up at him. “So, get anything good?”

“A couple of deer, some game birds, and a bear.” Gojyo blinked and gave a short whistle.

“That’s pretty good.”

“Because I’m that damn good.” Sanzo said proudly but with a stern face, as usual. “Now get your lazy cockroach ass up and do some fucking work or I’ll tell Hakkai.”

“And you think I’m worried about what Hakkai will say?”

“I just don’t want you pissing him off. He has a limit, you know. You couldn’t take him in a one on one fight.” Gojyo raised an eyebrow.

“Is that so? Well then, I’ll have to test that out sometime. And as your chief, you don’t tell ME what to do. I tell YOU what to do. Go get me a drink.”

“Fuck you, get your own drink. Waste of skin.” He said and walked off.

Gojyo spit out his piece of wheat and grumbled as he got up, dusting himself off. He was the chief; he did not HAVE to do ANY work if he did not want to. Sanzo was just an asshole who over worked himself. Regardless, Gojyo decided that he probably SHOULD be walking around and making sure everything was in working order. They had already sent out scouts to locate the Targustan tribe and study their activity. Now it was just a waiting game.
He walked all throughout the village, stopping first to check on the men making new weapons. His clan men were working faster than Hakkai’s, but Gojyo’s clan was more warrior-like and they specialized in weapons. Next he checked on the fields where the women were busy gathering fruits and vegetables. When he walked by the tomato section, the single women stopped to blush and giggle at him. Gojyo smirked and threw his hair over his shoulder, giving them all a wink. They smiled happily and giggled more, whispering to one another. Gojyo continued on, taking an apple with him to munch on.

Next was the arena, where the warriors were still practicing their fighting and wrestling techniques. Jien had taken to overseeing the status of the warriors in his place. He walked up to his brother and nudged him with his shoulder.

“How is everything?”

“They’re good. Our warriors are doing better than the Eiravada warriors. But they’re starting to pick up and learn from our men.”

“Any news from the scouts?” Jien shook his head.

“Nope. Nothing. But its only been a day or so, so let’s not worry yet. We still don’t know where or how far Homura and his men are.”

“That’s true. I don’t know what we should do, Jien. Should we go after Homura or wait for him to attack us?”

“Let's first see what the scouts come up with. Until then, we keep up the training and making the weapons. How’s Hakkai and Kou doing with those new laws?”

“Huh? New laws?” Jien raised an eyebrow.

“Don’t you know? That’s what Kou and Hakkai are doing now. They have to combine the laws and try to tie things together.”

“Oh, right. Maybe I’ll check in on them. See how things are going.” Jien nodded and watched as Gojyo walked off. Gojyo headed to his hut and stopped outside the flap. He heard Hakkai and Kou talking softly inside and he pushed open the flap. “Hey.” They both looked at him, pausing in their papers.

“Yes Gojyo?” Hakkai asked, putting down his quill.

“I just came to see how you two were making out. Everything going smoothly?”

“Yes, everything is fine. We are recreating the laws.” Kou held up a piece of paper.

“But we haven’t had to change many” Said Hakkai. “Surprisingly, our political views and values aren’t that much different from each others. We just had to combine some of them.”

“Yeah…say Kou, why don’t you take a break for a bit so I can speak to Hakkai.” Kou looked at Hakkai for approval and he nodded. Kou took his bag and nodded to Gojyo as he left the tent. Hakkai went back to writing.

“What is it you want to talk to me about?” He asked, not looking up from his paper.

“Um…nothing really. Just wanted to talk” Gojyo sat down in Kou’s chair.

“Well, go ahead then.” He kept on writing.

Gojyo sighed softly and looked around the hut. He spotted Sanzo’s spear in the corner and he remembered their encounter this morning. The thought of the man brought a smirk to his face. Sanzo was an asshole, no doubt about that. But Gojyo wondered what he would be like in bed. Obviously, no one has ever had him. Sanzo appears to be the type to bite it off if it ever got close to him. The man showed no interest in any of the women around him. They flaunted over him but he just ignores them. Either he is too full of himself or he just does not like people.

But maybe, just maybe Sanzo was that way because he knows he is drop dead gorgeous. He is probably angry about his looks and how people treat him for them. If Gojyo wanted him the moment he set eyes on him, then HUNDREDS of other men want to jump his bones. Gojyo had self-control but he was sure some men have forced themselves near Sanzo. How could they not? That had to be the most likely answer. Then he looked at Hakkai writing on the papers.

‘Poor Hakkai’ he thought, thinking back to what the man’s father said about him. He stared at Hakkai some more, really studying him. His face held complete concentration right now, writing carefully on the paper. Gojyo noticed that both Hakkai and Sanzo had the same nose, and the same frown. Hakkai’s personality was more humble and polite than Sanzo’s, but they still had the same type of attitude. He really did not know what to make of Hakkai. He could not read him. There might be a whole side to Hakkai that he just has not seen yet. The man does not appear to be happy at all, and wants to do nothing else but work. Gojyo thought back to their wedding night and frowned. He can do better than that. Hakkai was attractive in his own way. His body was average and flawless. His limbs were long, his eyes were green.

“Hey” He said and got Hakkai’s attention. Gojyo stood up and went over to Hakkai’s chair, pulling it out from under the table.

“What the-” Hakkai had not time to react as he was picked up and brought over to the bed of furs. “Gojyo?! This now?! I have work to finish up!”

“You work too much! You need to loosen up!” he placed him gently down on the furs. “Look, I fucked your first time and our wedding night, so I want to make it up. I’m sober this time. Not a drop of wine all day.” Hakkai looked up at him as Gojyo straddled his body. “I’ve never left a lover unsatisfied. That was one mistake and we both had a lot on our minds. And I’m your husband, and I say I want to lay with you now.” Hakkai narrowed his eyes.

“Listen husband, you may have the main say in political, military, and final rulings, but when it comes to common equality, I have a voice. You don’t tell ME what to do. If I don’t want to lay with you, I won’t.”

“But you need it. You’re too uptight and you need to relax a bit.” he kissed his forehead “Come on, trust me. I’ll make you feel good.” he kissed his nose next. “You’re so busy with work you don’t have time to notice how pretty you are.” Hakkai blinked at that, surprised.

“P-pretty?” Gojyo nodded.

“That too much girl for you? Then how about handsome.” he smiled and that in turn made Hakkai smile with slight embarrassment.

“Oh, you don’t have to lure me into bed with pretty words, Gojyo.”

“But it’s the truth.”

He kissed Hakkai’s lips gently, holding his head in place. Hakkai gave a soft, little moan and shyly returned the kiss. Gojyo deepened the kiss by pushing his tongue past Hakkai’s lips and entering his mouth. Hakkai made a choking noise of surprise but Gojyo’s hand behind his head prevented him from moving away. Hakkai gripped his shoulders and pulled at his tunic, loosing himself in the kiss. He had not noticed that Gojyo had pushed his legs apart and had settled between them. Gojyo then pulled his mouth away and licked his lips. Hakkai let out a small gasp and opened his eyes to look at Gojyo.

“How was that?”

“W-wow….you didn’t do that the first time…” Gojyo chuckled.

“Yeah well, when you’re drunk, shit doesn’t always go the way it’s supposed to. But you’re a VERY good kisser. I’m surprised. You’ve had practice?” Hakkai blushed and shook his head.

“Oh no, I haven’t done anything like that with anyone. That was my first kiss.”

“Ah, so I have been your first in everything in this manner, yes?” Hakkai looked away with a blush and nodded. “Hey, that’s a good thing. Nobody really WANTS a person who has been around the village more than once. Catch my drift?”

“Yes…” Gojyo smiled and moved his head down to kiss gently at Hakkai’s neck. He moved his lips up behind Hakkai’s ear, making him shiver and grasp Gojyo’s shoulders. “Oh, Gojyo…” Gojyo smirked as he licked Hakkai’s earlobe. So far so good, he had gotten him to speak his name in passion. He wondered briefly how his name would sound coming from Sanzo’s lips. But best stay focused on the task at hand. He ran his hands up Hakkai’s sides, running his hand over his chest.

“Your skin is soft…you don’t hunt much, huh?” Hakkai shivered as Gojyo kissed his jugular.

“N-no…I’m more of a fighter than a hunter.”

“Oh? A fighter?” he looked at him. “What weapon?”

“A sword…but I was never allowed to fight in battles. I train because I’m good at it and I want to be able to fully defend myself if I have to.”

“You’re also very smart, I hear.” Hakkai did not say anything but gasped as Gojyo slid his hand into his pants. Hakkai tried to bring his legs together but Gojyo was between them. He turned bright red as Gojyo’s hand gently gripped his member. “You’re pretty cute when you’re flushed from embarrassment like this. But don’t worry, I’ll be the only person you do this with so there’s no reason to be so shy.” He stroked Hakkai’s member, making him arch slightly off the furs.

“Gojyo!!” He cried out as Gojyo continued with firm, even strokes. Hakkai writhed on the furs and gripped Gojyo’s shoulders.

“It feels good, right?” Hakkai answered him with a nod and then he gasped softly as Gojyo’s hand was taken away. He looked at him with questioning eyes. “Take off your clothes.” Hakkai sat up and slipped his tunic over his head but hesitated when he went to his pants. “Here, let me do it.” Gojyo gently pushed Hakkai’s hands away and removed the hide pants for him. Hakkai lay back on the fur, naked, with his fists resting gently at each side of his head. Gojyo looked down at him and took a minute to examine Hakkai’s body.

Hakkai had nothing to be ashamed of. His body was practically flawless and was of a healthy weight. His skin was smooth and it covered his taunt muscles just right. He was muscular enough to surprise Gojyo. For a guy who is always hitting the books and writing documents, he was sure taut. Not as muscular as himself, but Gojyo was a warrior. However, hearing Hakkai tell him that he trains with a sword explained these muscles. He briefly wondered how often the man did train but decided to push it from his mind and focus on the person before him.

“You are beautiful” He said with a smile. “Anyone who can REALLY see you like this would say you’re beautiful.”

“So it’s only when I’m naked, then?” He looked away.

“No!” Gojyo made Hakkai’s eyes meet his again. “No. I just mean that people don’t’ really see you like this, open and flushed. You’re usually so stand-offish and serious. I don’t think people look at you the way they should. But I know it’s hard, with having a brother like Sanzo.” Hakkai closed his eyes, and then opened them.

“I know you desire my brother…everyone does. As nice as you are being right now…I can’t believe that you are NOT thinking about Sanzo. I’m sure you’ve had at least a couple of visions of him when you were kissing me.” Gojyo did not want to say it was true so he sighed.

“Look Hakkai, I can’t lie. Yes, I have thought about Sanzo while I’ve been with you. But I’m not going to leave you out. You’re my wife. I would never actually approach Sanzo with the issue, he’ll put a spear through my head. But you, you’re different in some way….I want you to feel pleasure and I don’t want to see you so unhappy. Maybe if you’d smile a bit more often, like, a TRUE smile, you might just surpass Sanzo in something. Sanzo’s smile would look psychotic, but yours, I’m pretty sure, is a gorgeous one.”

Hakkai felt some tears well up in his eyes at Gojyo’s words. So he did think about Sanzo when they were together. Even the first time. But the way Gojyo was complimenting him…almost sounded like he rather have him than Sanzo. He wondered if Gojyo really only desired Sanzo’s body but Hakkai’s personality. He would choose personality over features. If that WAS the case, then Gojyo was not as stupid as he thought. Maybe there was a chance for them. Gojyo was putting through the effort to try, so why shouldn’t he? Hakkai smiled softly.

“Thank you for your kind words, Gojyo… now… show me this… pleasure… you want to give me.” Gojyo’s eyes widened in surprise, then he smiled.

“Whoa… wasn’t expecting that!” He laid his body down over Hakkai’s, holding his wrists. Hakkai closed his eyes as he felt the soft red hairs tickle his cheeks and ears. Gojyo kissed him again and Hakkai opened his mouth to let the tongue enter his mouth. Gojyo thrust his hips into Hakkai’s, making their erections rub against one another. Gojyo sat up to quickly remove his pants then settle again between Hakkai’s long legs. He kissed down his chest and poked the belly button with his tongue. Hakkai arched against him, the touch tickling him a bit. Gojyo kissed his inner thigh and that touch made Hakkai laugh out loud. Gojyo grinned.

“I have to remember that spot for another time.” Hakkai covered his mouth, trying to his smile. Gojyo surprised him then by suddenly licking the tip of Hakkai’s erection.

“G-GOJYO!?” His eyes opened wide and he arched his hips as Gojyo suddenly took his full erection into his mouth. Hakkai writhed on the furs, gripping them with hands and bracing his feet at the end. Gojyo sucked him gently at first, then started speed up. He hummed as he went down and used his tongue when he went back up. He ignored the now painful grip in his hair as Hakkai held on for dear life it would seem. The man was definitely way too sensitive and most likely will come now if he continued. He was pleased to hear Hakkai’s groan of disappointment when he pulled his mouth away.

“I don’t want you to reach completion yet, so don’t give me that look.” He smiled and brought his hand down to poke at Hakkai’s entrance. Hakkai gasped softly.

“C-completion?”

“When you cum. It’s what makes sex pleasurable. The whole act is fun but when you- well, you’ll see.” Gojyo brought his hands to his mouth and thoroughly licked them, wetting them with his saliva. He slipped a finger in and pressed his lips against Hakkai’s. Hakkai moaned softly and pushed back onto Gojyo’s invading finger. Gojyo continued to kiss him, adding a second and third finger into the writhing body beneath him. He finally pulled his mouth away and removed his fingers.

“You did it again!” Hakkai whined but Gojyo put a finger to his lips.

“This will be easier for you on your hands and knees. I can get a better angle and it will be more comfortable for you. You are still new to this and I want to make you as comfortable as I can.”

Hakkai blinked but turned around onto his stomach and stood on his hands and knees. Gojyo kissed the back of his neck and trailed a stream of kisses down his spin. Hakkai moaned and lowered his head between his arms. Gojyo felt guilty about putting Hakkai in this position. He did not want Hakkai seeing his face because it could give him away. He was having a hard time getting it up with Hakkai so he thought about Sanzo and it worked. If he had Hakkai in this position, then he could think it was really Sanzo. He had a strange obsession with the man who was nothing but an extra large asshole with a hair up his ass.

Gojyo positioned himself and held Hakkai’s hips as he pushed gently. Hakkai gripped the furs and hissed a bit as the head of Gojyo’s erection forced its way through the tight ring of muscle. Gojyo rubbed Hakkai’s lower back, trying to make penetration easier for him. He felt himself thinking about just Hakkai and worried he would fall limp so he quickly thought about Sanzo. That made it easier and soon he had pushed himself all the way in.
Hakkai cried out in slight pain as he felt Gojyo grow a bit more inside him as he settled himself inside him. The pain was not as bad as it was the first time, but Gojyo seemed a bit more ‘large’ than before. Hakkai felt that his backside was filled to the brink and hoped the uncomfortable feeling of being as widely stretched would fade. He felt Gojyo pull out slightly then push slowly back in. Hakkai felt his muscles relax at the next couple of same thrusts followed. He let out a breath of relief and steadied himself better on his limbs, shamelessly wanting more.

Gojyo groaned at the tight feel of Hakkai around him and wondered if Sanzo would feel the same way. His ass was so tight on a regular basis that Gojyo might need to hold the man’s hips together as he entered. The thought of that made him moan and he pulled out of Hakkai before thrusting back in. Hakkai’s body rocked forward and the man cried out in pleasure, throwing his head back. Gojyo closed his eyes and pictured Sanzo in this position. He gripped Hakkai’s hips and started a fast, quick paced thrusting. With every thrust he thought about all the things that gorgeous asshole said to him and it gave him the adrenaline to pound into Hakkai.

Hakkai was crying out in pleasure with each thrust hitting that spot again that made his body become enflamed. His muscles just seemed to accommodate Gojyo’s girth and everything was much more pleasurable this time around. Gojyo’s grip on his hips was a bit tight but at this point he did not care. All he knew was that his body was feeling wave after wave of pleasure and he felt something start to build in his abdomen. He had to spread his legs wider as he went down on his forearms. His limbs were giving out on him and he found it hard to hold himself up. Hakkai suddenly cried out in surprise as he heard Gojyo’s deep grunts as his hair was gripped tightly in the back. Hakkai gasped as he was pulled up by his hair and pushed Gojyo deeper inside.

Gojyo sat up on his knees and thrust up into Hakkai’s welcoming body, still gripping the back of his hair. He bit and kissed at Hakkai’s neck, making the man cry out in pained pleasure. He used his free hand to run it up Hakkai’s chest and pinch a pert nipple as he bite down roughly onto Hakkai’s shoulder blade. Hakkai cried out in pain that time but was quickly turned to a gasp as Gojyo gave a particularly hard thrust.
The thought of having Sanzo sprawled out in his lap like this, crying out for him was the most pleasurable image he had ever had. To make that head strong, alligator skin man crumble and crack due to his love making skills. He would have Sanzo crying out for him and begging for more with each thrust. He knew it was Hakkai crying out for ‘more’ but he liked to pretend it was Sanzo. He just wanted to show that bastard blonde that he COULD be taken advantage of and was NOT as strong as he claimed to be. It was a cruel thought, but the thought turned him on more than anything. He wanted that mouth to shout out ‘more’ ‘harder’ and ‘faster’, rather than insults.

“Cum for me!” He whispered in Hakkai’s ear as he brought his hand down to fist Hakkai’s member. He pumped him in time with his thrusts and it took about two or three to make Hakkai come over the edge. Hakkai’s eyes rolled back in his head and he nearly fell forward from exhaustion. Never had he felt anything so extreme…or so good! Gojyo let out a strangled cry as he came inside Hakkai, filling him to the brink where his essence was leaking out. Gojyo removed his hand from Hakkai’s hair and wrapped his arms around him. “How was…that?” Gojyo breathed out, panting.

“W-wonderful…” Hakkai said with a moan as he felt Gojyo pull out of him. “Oh Gojyo…that was an experience!” he panted with a smile. Gojyo smiled back.

“I’m glad you enjoyed it. Consider this your first REAL time at making love.” He laid Hakkai down on the furs and then laid next to him. “Let's rest for a bit after that’ he gave a weak chuckle and pulled Hakkai into his arms. He felt Hakkai snuggle up to him, burying his head under his chin. Gojyo rubbed his shoulder, admiring the smoothness. He felt a twinge of guilt build in him due to the thoughts he had about Sanzo. He had pictured having sex with Sanzo instead of Hakkai. The way Hakkai was curling around him could mean that he really DID think Gojyo was doing it for him. Well, in a way he was, but he could not give Hakkai pleasure if he had none. If Hakkai was going to fall for him over a few compliments and a love session, then he would not be able to stand breaking his heart. Hopefully, Hakkai would never find out. He just had to make sure he would NEVER call out Sanzo’s name by accident. But the guilt he was feeling was making his stomach turn. He clenched his eyes shut and tried to think of other things. He would have to figure this guilt thing out at another time. Right now, he wanted to rest his mind and body. Before he fell into a sleep, the last thought on his mind was ‘How did I get into this mess?’
