Warnings: Violence, blood, LEMON!!


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


There were at least three things that he was completely sure of. First, there was someone, somewhere, within the city that had found a way to cloud him entirely into darkness, forcing him to race blindly through the city when every strength and sense he possessed was desperately needed. The second and most important was Ginji was in trouble. The bond the two shared being enough to get through the haze Ban was imprisoned within to enable him to feel the pain and fear clinging to the blonde as wet clothes to flesh. And finally, as his long legs carried him with inhuman determination through the city, thunder screaming over head matching the fury within his soul, Ban contemplated how he’d make the person responsible suffer for the tears he knew Ginji had shed.

His breath was an ugly ragged thing hot within his throat as it was forced like skeletal nails against the flesh aching from screaming. The heat and pain was minimal to the chorus hammering wildly against his chest, his ragging heart deafening his sensitive ears with its thunderous symphony, the drums roaring overhead becoming as muted as the rain trickling upon the city. His pupils dilated amongst the bright intensity of his irises within his narrowing gaze, the snarl on his smooth lips deepening as his heavy legs beat harder into the slushy streets. A sharp gasp escaped into the noisy night, his breath warming the cold air before his alert eyes as he regained balance in turning the corner to sprint down the street.

“Ginji!”

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

Exhaling a long heavy breath to shiver against the chilly breeze crawling across his dampened skin as he emerged from the bathroom in a lightweight robe, Kazuki stared across the nearly pitch black room to his brooding partner. Stilling the movement of his hands on the towel resting on his wet hair, a sympathetic smile lifted to his lips as his best friend stared with blind eyes to the storming streets below.

“Don’t tell me you’re still pouting?” Kazuki inquired, a smile lifting to his lips as he brushed across the apartment.

“I’m not pouting!” Juubei stated flatly, his tone rising unintentionally.

“Oh I see,” Kazuki sighed while dragging the towel from his darkened chocolate hair, his alluring eyes lowering before sealing all together. “I forgot it’s more often called brooding.”

“I just don’t understand!” Juubei fumed as he stretched his long fingers into trembling fists. “I don’t understand why you’d let him say such things about you!”

“Well what he said wasn’t far from the truth,” Kazuki shrugged to gasp as his arms were seized within a harsh grasp, his eyes snapping open to stare at Juubei’s infuriated expression. “Juubei it’s not a big deal; let it go.”

“He had no right saying such things!” He grit, his fingers loosening around Kazuki’s soft arms. “What happens between two people is intimate; it shouldn’t be spoken in jest.”

Shifting his shoulders against the window he was pinned while lifting his small hands to brush his fingers beneath Juubei’s tense arms, grinning slightly as he felt the body surrounding him relax into his touch, Kazuki leaned forward once Juubei’s muscles melted against him.

“I believe …” he whispered, his warm breath tickling Juubei’s ear. “That in truth, Ban Midou is jealous of what we have … he can’t touch his partner like you can Juubei. You see, Mr. Ginji doesn’t love Ban Midou like I love you.”

“Kazuki!” Juubei’s breath raged as it left his lips.

“So just let it go Juubei,” Kazuki gently ordered as he stroked his hand up Juubei’s arm to let it settle on his neck, “it’s insignificant.”

Drawing in a heavy breath to let it rush quickly from his lungs as he pressed forward, his mouth securing Kazuki’s, muffling the soft groan before he was slammed into the cool glass, Juubei’s hands pressed heavily up the damp skin of his neck to linger while the other continued to tangle in his long silken hair. Kazuki’s pale lids fluttered quickly over the lust filling his dark eyes as he felt the desperation radiating through Juubei’s crushing lips, into his exploring touch. Withering as Juubei’s lips separated, his warm tongue snaking out to explore the smooth edge of his lower lip, Kazuki was unable to stop the mewling sounds enticed to escape his throat under the tantalizing ministrations of the muscle flicking from mouth to lips. Burying his hands desperately into Juubei's shirt, pulling him closer as his need began to burn painfully throughout his body, his lips snapped quickly apart, inviting the chuckle leaving his lover as he sucked the desirable tongue into the warm cavern of his mouth. A sigh of satisfaction left Juubei's breath as he fisted his hand in Kazuki’s soft hair, holding him painfully close as they began a demanding battle between their two mouths. They both pulled back as the need to breathe became too much, both their chests heaving desperately for the air that had evaporated while their tongues battled for who’d have control. Juubei’s hands remained locked into place when he felt chills crawl down his spine, his nerves twitching beneath the slow feathery light touch of Kazuki’s fingers as he began to trail them across his stomach, pushing the shirt up with the motion of his hands.

“Kazu …”

Pausing as the lustfully purred recital of his name caused his fingers to freeze just beneath defined pectoral muscles, his breath stalled for a moment as Juubei’s fingers stroked down his neck. The rough calloused pads of his fingertips ghosting slowly beneath the fabric of the robe, pushing it near the edge of Kazuki’s shoulder when they suddenly changed course. Juubei lifted a faint smile as he felt Kazuki take in several desperate breaths as he slipping his hand further into the inner warmth of the robe. It took him several seconds to recollect himself before he lifted his eyes again then a heartbeat to pull Juubei's lips quickly back to his own. His moans suppressed the sound of his body smacking back into the glass as he was lifted, Juubei’s strong arm hooking beneath his thigh while using his hips to pin the smaller man.

“Oh Juubei!”

Balanced along the balls of her bare feet, the heavy rain trailing down her exposed back as she sat crouched, chin to hands, elbows to knees, the young girl that had nearly been violated earlier in the night several blocks ahead let a sinister chuckle fill the rhythmic hum of the pelting rain. Inhaling a long breath as her dark eyes stared interestedly at the spectacle across the street, the darkness holding no sway over her eager eyes; Salarius lifted a devious grin to her soft lips.

“Such a cute couple … I think I want to kill them!” Her eyes brightened darkly with a hysteric chuckle before a frown crowded her thin brows. “But I suppose … they’d certainly make good pawns.” Her lips curled as she shot up straight. “Oh yes, what I could possibly do with them!”

Letting a small sighed gasp escape her chuckles, her long lashes blinking against the rain she’d only begun to notice, Salarius half turned against the light pole she was perched to peer back across the dark city lit with nightlife entertainment. Parting her lips slowly while her head tipped to the side in dazzled confusion, she stalled her breath, froze the beat of her heart as she listened carefully to the whistling wind.

“Titus …”

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

Letting a frustrated breath clear which sounded more like a roar to the small rodents rushing from his side, Shido snapped his hand back through his hair as he pushed himself from the frame of the wall length window he’d been staring out.

“Shido?” Madoka’s soft voice gasped in alarm, “what’s wrong, are you ok?”

“Yeah, I’m fine,” he sighed gentling the anger raging unbalanced throughout his core. I just want to fucking kill myself a fucking Snake Bastard! “Madoka, shouldn’t you be sleeping, don’t you have a concert tomorrow?”

The blind girl’s eyes brightened slightly before a smile lifted to her lips, “yes. Shido, I didn’t think you knew.”

Exhaling a long breath as he knelt before her, chuckling softly as her eyes brightened, Shido peered adoringly as he set his hand on hers, grasping the nervous fist she’d formed in her lap. “Of course.”

A faint blush lifted into her cheeks as Madoka turned her blind eyes to her lap, “I uh … will you come hear me play?”

“As if anything could keep me away,” Shido purred softly as he pushed up, his lips brushing nearer her ear as he stood, “there isn’t anything more important than hearing you play. I’ll be there, front row.”

“Thank you Shido.” Madoka smiled to squeak softly as thunder crackled, startling her into Shido’s broad chest.

“It’s just the thunder,” Shido chuckled softly as he slipped his arms around her slender figure, his fingers stroking through her long hair. “Are you ok?”

Nodding slowly as she inhaled the wild air lifting through Shido’s very skin, Madoka exhaled gently as she sealed her blind eyes. “You are so warm Shido.”

Inhaling a soft breath as Madoka leaned heavier into his chest, her own breath passing musically through the mansion, Shido found his eyes leisurely fluttering closed, mesmerized by the ache within him just by having the beautifully gentle young woman within his arms.

Standing off within the darkness of the city, silhouetted like some demonic goddess of hellish nightmares, her clear eyes glared hauntingly, unseeingly to the dully noisy streets while the chilled night air pushed her curls slowly about her bare shoulders and back. Turning her gaze toward the monstrous fortress centering the city, the crimson lights of its summit flashing tantalizingly toward her, an irritated nerve drew her brows to crease when she suddenly inhaled a sharp breath. Staggering back as she felt pain sear up the edge of her arm, the hair-thin puppetry wires securing her subconscious to the web she’d stretched across the city gutted beneath the force of the unfamothable power she suddenly felt splinter through her, A'Sirus’ lips parted breathlessly to the gasp she elicited as dark eyes opened snickering.

“My god, what power,” she shivered as she lifted her arm to stare at the gnarled flesh running from her bicep to the soft line before her wrist. “What kind of being, mortal, could accomplish such a thing … to even be able to see where to tear!?” She hoisted a malicious grin to her face paled in the darkness while her eyes turned up to the Limitless Fortress. “Seems our search is finally over.”

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

Tears seeped from his wide unseeing eyes as he felt his aching muscles loosening under the weight of the boy’s body pressing through the enlarging organ trying to fill him fully. His teeth squeezed together into a painful grit as he snapped his blurry eyes closed, wishing the torment away with all his might. Another painful jerk, another agonized cry leaving his lips; still the cock pushing desperately against his anus failed to penetrate. Only an inch of the weeping head managed to disappear into the intoxicating heat of Ginji’s lustrous body.

“Fight me; fight me with every breath you have my beautiful blonde, because I will never stop trying to take you. You will belong to me, I will tear through these restraints of yours when you eventually wear out, and when I take you …” he breathed heatedly, the breath passing through his lips rushed, “it will be unlike anything you’ve ever felt before in your life! I’ll bet you into such a pliable mess that we will be like one … you will keep time with my thrusts by the end and you will-”

“I won’t let you-” Ginji gagged, his bright eyes widening as the violet eyed man tried to ram inside him. He shivered thankfully as the boy pulled back with an annoyed growl. “You won’t take me … I will never let you in!” He breathlessly stated.

“Let’s see how much control you have faced down!” He growled as he snapped backwards, his fingers biting cruelly into Ginji’s soft hips, cutting the first layer of skin as he flipped him onto his stomach. “I’ll fuck you doggy style!”

Grunting as his cheek slammed into the cold cement, grimy water sloshing up into his dirty face, Ginji cut back a gasp as his hips were jerked back, angling him awkwardly on his knees while his hands were pulled and secured to his back.

“Please! You don’t have to do this!” Ginji sobbed to grunt as his face was pressed into the ground.

“Be silent bitch,” the boy snickered as he pushed four fingers inside Ginji without resistance. “Yes!”

No! No, please … tears streamed down his cheeks mixing into the rain as he felt heat align to his portal. Ban Please!

Digging his fingers into Ginji’s smooth hips to pause as he watched his warm breath spiral in clouds to the chilly air that suddenly dropped past the point of freezing, his skin prickling to the chaotic currents suddenly crackling throughout the alley, the boy swallowed the sudden lump within his throat as he turned his violet gaze toward the street. His breath left him in a fluid moment of absolute panic as lightning sparked so near the street he felt the heat, its blinding light silhouetting the dark figure. Shifting uncomfortable against the cold cement when he felt the boy’s hands tremble against his wrists, Ginji released a long breath as he slowly opened his eyes to peer across the alley floor, a gasp escaping his lips as he noticed the person staring into the alley.

“B-Ban …”

The soft thump of his heart was deceptively calm in comparison to the enraged storm brewing within his core. Each slow beat crashing with greater force into his aching chest deprived of oxygen by his staled breath. Though the darkness was all encompassing, his vision was red, the ancient God spirit shuddering within the rage feeding it. Slowly his limp fingers tensed, the long digits curling into trembling fists before small trails of crimson dribbled against the pale flesh. The usually loose four-tailed trademark shirt he sported seemed to bite if not suffocate as the material clung to his skin, the delicate tone and inhuman strength his body possessed visible to all that dared a glance at the raging figure. His dark wildly spiked hair lay flat, cradling his face in a gentle caress while the rage aura pulsing about his lithe form spiked.

What!? His lover … no, how’d he-

He didn’t feel the shattering of his ribs as a multitude of corporeal scales breezed before his eyes, nor the hand that caused his skin to splinter and cast his life fluid as freely to the air as a tornado uprooting a thousand yeared tree. Failed to hear the stripping of his breath falter on suddenly cracked lips as his eardrums shattered beneath the force of the shrilling tune of the air pulling around the blur of human flesh cutting past. Couldn’t taste the bitter sting of the bloodied tears falling through his parted lips as they were ripped from his eyes, didn’t see the movement which surpassed the speed of light.

“Get your hands OFF HIM!” His screaming voice was a shrilling hiss, beyond anything human or demon.

All his senses that had been dead a moment’s past returned with the force of a typhoon, crushing his tiny body in a snake’s iron grip as the pained scream cut off his bleeding lips. The fear that had gripped him since he peered deep within the sapphire gaze, cursing him with a promise far beyond the torments of hells eternal agony, continued to pulse away from his trembling body as he fell backwards, landing in puddles of his blood mixed into the grimy alley. He stared with wide, unseeing eyes to the slender man engulfing the darkness with a magic and rage unfamothable.

“What Are You!” The boy shrieked as he watched the man tense beneath the blonde cradled within his arms.

Pools of liquid sapphire cut through the darkness, set in to glow around each crease and hardened muscle of his face and neck. The horizontal slits of his pupils shrank further into rage as he stared at the limpness and tension within Ginji’s muscular figure, the blood speckled across his smooth hips and thighs, the tears stained on the soft cheeks of a face creased in pain.

“What you’ve done-”

Drawing his breath back to his throat in gasps, the boy watched in horror as a massive serpentine body began to spiral around the sapphire eyed man once the raged trembles began to crawl across his figure. Parting his trembling lips as the man stooped, a pathetic sound close to a whimper leaking through his lips as Ginji was laid on the ground, the boy struggled to his feet to freeze as Ban whipped around.

“Was this your idea of a game!?”

The sharp muscles creased within his rage were gone, swallowed by the image of scales conforming across his smooth skin. Once brightly glowing sapphires had hardened into dark orbs lost between the differentiation of iris and pupil. His body was concaving into what was likely going to be the attack to strip the trembling violet eyed boy of his existence, purely barbaric animalistic – demonic. A long hiss drilled through his snarling lips, his teeth grinding together as he lunged forward.

“PLEASE-” the boy shrieked to gag as Ban’s arm tore through his gut, shredding every muscle, organ and bone til the clawed hand tore through his back to freedom. Snapping his mouth wide, ignoring the loud crack of his jaw popping from its socket, the boy grasped desperately to Ban’s arms, tears streaming from his glazing eyes as a low hiss whistled along his ear. “Please … Oh Please!”

Ban’s dark eyes twitched as his nose creased in the rage spiking from the plea. “Did you fucking listen to Ginji’s pleas!?” He growled as he snapped his arm back, his hand hooking into a muscle.

Drawing in a gasp as his body spasmed to shriek as he felt his insides twist and rip under the control of the man killing him, the boy screamed agonizingly as the muscles between his legs snapped aside and drew his penis up within him. Jerking his arm backwards, casting the multitude of muscles to a dark corner of the alley, his dark unforgiving eyes boring through the boy as he moved his hands beyond his bleeding stomach to his eviscerated abdomen, Ban’s sealed lips trembling with his increasing rage when he suddenly struck out, Asclepius screaming around him. This crack within his chest didn’t pass numbly by, nor did the shattered ribs that plunged within the rotting flesh of the organ similarly called his heart. He screamed in time to the raged growl leaving Ban’s snarling lips while he split his knuckles apart on the second blow to the boy’s tattered chest and ribs. Long breaths raged through Ban’s heaving chest as he watched the boy fall in a sobbing heap to the ground, his hand snaking down a second past the plea escaped to tear the boy’s throat apart, silencing him. Several dozen more blows speared through the soft flesh of the boy’s body, separating easily to Ban’s inhuman strength and unconquerable wrath, til there was no distinguishing the bloody flesh from red sauce and noodles. Tears had begun to slip unbeknownst down Ban’s bloodied cheeks as he continued to mash his fists through the boy’s body, an angry cry drowning through his lips as soft arms pushed around his torso.

“Ban stop …” Ginji sobbed breathlessly as he tried to secure limp strength around Ban’s trembling figure. “It’s not worth losing yourself over!”

Panting heavily as he stared with dead eyes at the pliable mess of what had been a boy, his dark eyes softened as he drew a deep breath within to calm his rage.

“Titus …”

Snapping his gaze to the startled voice, his body rising in tension as he spied two women staring down into the alley, Ban snarled a warning hiss as Ginji pressed tighter to his once again trembling body.

“Who …” Ginji stuttered as he failed to turn his eyes from the elder and far more enchanting of the two.

Narrowing her dark eyes as she surveyed the blood through the darkness as clearly as if the sun were directly overhead, A'Sirus released a long breath as her lips turned up in a conceited amused grin. “How very interesting.”

“Who the fuck are you!?” Ban hissed threateningly.

“What did you do to Titus!?” Salarius hissed as she moved toward the building’s edge to snap her eyes toward A'Sirus as she lifted her arm. “Wha-”

“You know who we are because half of us runs thick within your veins,” A'Sirus simply stated while Salarius paced behind her, “Only a small fraction of the Legion.”

“What?” Ginji softly murmured into Ban’s arm.

“Demons.” Ban hissed.

“Demons,” A'Sirus frowned, “that’s smart coming from you.”

Narrowing his eyes as his muscles tensed in building rage, Ban’s eyes darkened as he snarled, “what the hell is that supposed to mean?”

A wicked grin lifted into A'Sirus’ thin lips, “you like the pathetic race you sprang from are so hypocritical, its so easy to point another’s faults and yet your own reflection does nothing but mirror.”

“I’m nothing like you!” Ban growled.

“Aren’t you,” her snickering eyes turned toward Titus with a maliciously grin, “Are you not the one that beat the boy into such a pliable mess … did you not exact your revenge upon the attacker of your beloved?”

Stiffening slightly as his breath staled in his throat; Ban ground his teeth together while his eyes turned toward the bloody mess at his feet. “He got what was coming.”

“And yet it was all for not,” A'Sirus snickered.

Brightening his eyes as a hollow pitch black gaze snapped open within the broken face of the violet eyed boy, Ban jerked backwards as swarms of dark energy blasted from the corpse’s lips.

“Ban what’s goin on?” Ginji gasped as he pulled his trembling form closer to Ban. “What’s happening?”

“Possession …” Ban stuttered.

“Do you understand now human?” A'Sirus cackled while pushing onto her feet, “so blinded you were you forgot one very important thing … the Legion harbors no flesh of its own. Your righteous fury was unleashed upon an innocent fifteen year old boy!”

The bright light of Ban’s sapphires dulled as he watched the corporeal form of the demon retrieve the last of its essence from within the corpse to float to a gleeful Salarius, his mind and senses going numb to A'Sirus’ words.

“Which of us is the real demon human?” She snickered, “which?”

“Ban isn’t a demon!”

Releasing a stunned gasp as he whirled around, Ban stared at an enraged Ginji with wide disbelieving eyes.

“He isn’t anything like you! Ban’s kind and thoughtful and gentle-”

“Gentle?” A'Sirus snickered before turning toward the dismantled figure of what had been a boy. “Tell that to the corpse.”

“I’m able to sense bioelectrical pulses within a living person’s body lady,” Ginji grumbled as his hand tightened on the tense bicep of Ban’s arm, “There were none in that body! You were trying to trick him, make him feel guilty for a lie! That boy was already dead before Ban touched him!”

A'Sirus glared at Ginji with vengeful eyes. “Aren’t you just a nuisance … I’ll be sure to remember you,” she flicked her eyes with a grin toward Ban, “both of you!”

Widening his eyes as he watched a swarm of energy ignite around A'Sirus’ hand, a soft gasp brushing off his lips as it was pitched toward them, Ginji pulled against Ban’s sleeve as the brunette spun around, enveloping him in his arms.

“Ban-chan!”

Grunting as his shoulder hammered into the cement to throw himself quickly over Ginji as a screaming cloud of energy blasted out of the alley, Ban released a long breath as his arms curled around Ginji’s gold crowned head. Slowly lifting his eyes to stare at the hundreds of agonized faces encased within the passing cloud, tensing as a thunderclap resounded, drowning out the wails as they suddenly disappeared through the quieting city, Ban pushed his weight to his elbows as he rose to peer at the blonde. Widening his eyes as he watched the rain dribble from the tips of his hair to patter gently onto Ginji’s unconscious face, his body rising suddenly as his fingers traced the edge of skin colder than his own freezing touch, Ban drew his partner quickly to his chest while pushing onto his feet.

Slipping leathered hands into the pockets of his drench coat to fist them within the fine material, his dark eyes narrowing beneath the long snowy hair turned grey in the dark rainy night, Ezekiel turned slowly from the street to start around the corner avoiding the shadows.

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

Splitting through the darkness to collapse on a jagged well of rocks, her eyes springing backwards while she pushed quickly from where she lay to avoid the blast incinerating the ledge, Salarius stared with wide eyes as A'Sirus emerged to cut her arm through the corporeal mist of the demon Titus, forcing form as she snared what should’ve been a neck.

“What foolery were you playing!?” She shrieked as blood began to slip over her fingers, “Do you have any idea what work I’ve done to gain you pathetic saps flesh? Legion are not intended to inhabit, yet I’ve granted you unimaginable magic to be able to host, to move freely through the upper world and for what Titus? You throw it away on the first pretty face that causes your dead shell to teach you lust?”

Quivering silently from the corner she’d crouched within, Salarius watched with wide teary eyes as Titus cracked within A'Sirus’ grasp.

“I’m trying to raise Lucifer from his pits and you throw months, YEARS work down the abyss for one little ass-fucking!?” A'Sirus thundered, blood slipping from her flaming eyes. “Did you wish to inquire my wrath so much Titus … that fear you tasted when the blonde’s partner came for him wasn’t a sixteenth of what I’m about to do to you! I’m not having Lucifer’s ascension jeopardized by the likes of a lesser demon like you! You will pay for your insolence, you pathetic Legion!”

“What seems to be the problem?” A raspy voice cracked.

“Father Rameris,” Salarius gleefully shouted as she caught sight of the elder man approaching A'Sirus’ rear.

Releasing a calm breath as her fingers untwined from around Titus’ corporeal form, her dark eyes shimmering as she turned to watch the ancient decrypt man wobble toward her, A'Sirus’ snarling nose deepened as the blind man paused in front of her.

“I can sense such rage,” he barely breathed, his husky voice cracking again as he tilted his head back. “A'Sirus?”

“Don’t speak to me so formally you old goat,” she snarled while curling her bloody hand into a fist, “I’ve no intention of discussing a thing with you.” She growled while brushing past the man.

“I see,” he grinned as he lifted hollow eyes into the air pulsing away from A'Sirus challengingly.

Creasing the muscles along her snarling nose, A'Sirus paused several feet from the man’s back, her eyes glaring into the darkness. “If you’ve something to say old man then say it! I’ve no time to waste with your games.”

“Upset a mortal broke through your web?”

Spinning around to stare into the hollow eyes of the elderly man, A'Sirus scoffed venomously while closing the distance between them. “Make no mistake, Rameris, I’ll reforge the binds on the city and I will complete the vessel to harbor our Lord from this underground pit of hell. It’s only a matter of time.”

“Time which is fairly not on our side. The angels are pushing us back, their forces are few but the strength they harbor is unimaginable.” He sighed as he lowered his lids over his empty eyes. “And I’ve seen the rise of Lights … they will return with a magnitude unlike anything we can combat.”

“You come here jabbering about your useless foresight, about future threats and Lights?” A'Sirus chuckled. “Old man, there cannot be an ascension for Lights because the last of that bloodline died away with the one Krad fell.”

“Don’t be so foolish, A'Sirus,” he frowned, “how do you suppose the first Light came about.”

“Go preach to someone who cares,” A'Sirus glared, “you’re wasting my time.”

“A'Sirus,” Salarius whimpered to fall silent as dark eyes snapped toward her.

“Lights can’t rise, Salarius. Ignore the old goats fables,” A'Sirus snapped, “now block the poison from your mind and get to work. Find Titus new flesh and go back to the upper world. Neither of you are done … and Titus … don’t make any more mistakes!” She added before turning to disappear within the shadows.

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

Sitting silently in the dark room, a streetlamp casting the rains dancing shadows through the open window to crawl along the floor toward the chair he was perched, small breaths passed through Ban’s dripping figure as he watched his unconscious partner carefully. Noting each gentle breath passing through Ginji’s calmed body, his mind recollected the events of the night delicately while he slowly turned his hazy sapphires toward his hands resting limply on his knees. Gingerly turning them to stare at the slightly trembling tips of his fingers still bloodied in his mind, the petrified agonized screams echoing almost hauntingly around him as he drew them into fists, Ban slowly lifted them to his throbbing temples.

“Ban …”

Snapping his head from his hands, tears bordering the edge of his eyes, Ban pushed quickly from the chair to drop to his knees beside the bed as dazed chocolates slowly opened to the darkness. He forced the lump down his throat as he calmed his racing heart.

“What happened?” Ginji slurred wearily, his hand rising to rub at his eyes. “Where is everyone … when did the party end?”

Ban’s ears rang as the inquiry echoed around him. “The party … Ginji …” he paused, his wide eyes closing as his mind reeled. “You don’t remember?”

Slipping his hand to cover his yawn as he shook his head, Ginji exhaled a heavy stuttering breath as he tried to focus on Ban in the dark. “Not really … did you give me a beer again or something?”

Beer … Ban frowned. God, does he not remember – any of it?

“Ban … where are we?”

Slowly opening his eyes to see Ginji roll to his back, his chocolate eyes glowing slightly in the swaying light of the outside lights, Ban exhaled a long breath as he lifted himself to sit on the bed’s edge. “We’re above the Honky Tonk.”

“Paul’s actually letting us sleep up here!” Ginji merrily squeaked.

“Yeah,” Ban sighed while he slowly turned his eyes to the floor.

“Ban …”

Brightening his eyes as Ginji’s fingers slowly brushed along his cheek to apply pressure just beneath his wide sapphires, smearing something cold and wet along the skin, Ban held his breath as he watched the blonde rise inches from him.

“Why’re you crying?” Ginji worriedly inquired as he moved his hand to brush the rest of the tears away.

Scoffing as he snapped from his trance, pushing off the bed as his arm rose quickly to make the offensive wetness disappear, Ban shook his head. “I’m not!”

“But the tears-”

“I was just angry ok!”

“Angry,” Ginji puzzled as he lowered his arm, “about what Shido was saying?”

Lowering his arm to stare cautiously at Ginji, Ban swallowed the breath he’d been holding. “Shido … then you do remember?”

Creasing his brows slightly, Ginji grinned, “Ban you and Shido always fight when you see each other, it’s not easy to forget.”

“Yeah but … is that all you remember then?” Ban inquired as he turned toward the window, “the fight?”

Glancing at the ceiling as he began to think, his smooth brows creasing adorably, Ginji nodded, “yeah, I remember you and Shido, then you started teasing Kazuki and Juubei got angry … then you started taunting him … really Ban you should try to get along with them at times,” Ginji sighed, “I remember going outside to find you when you disappeared, you were kinda grouchy-”

“I wasn’t either!”

“Kazuki and Juubei came out to say bye so did Shido …”

If he doesn’t remember … should I push it, should I let him remember?

“Hey Ban, why was Himiko so glum tonight?” Ginji curiously inquired as he moved to start sliding across the bed, “she didn’t-”

Releasing a gasping breath as he slumped forward to the pain spearing up through his body, Ginji stared with wide eyes as images of the night flashed back through his mind, images of a violet eyed boy. Snapping his hand over his mouth as he felt his stomach rise, Ginji slowly began to rock in violent trembles as Ban whirled around to face him, his sapphire eyes wide in distress.

“Ginji …”

Slowly lifting teary eyes to a startled Ban, his short breaths escaping in panting sobs, Ginji snapped his eyes closed as he pushed from the bed. He jerked from the hand grasping his wrist, trying desperately to pull away as Ban tugged him to his chest.

“Calm down Ginji,” Ban cringed at Ginji’s sobs, “it’s ok …” he slowly closed his eyes, grinding his teeth into his lower lip as Ginji buried his hands into his tank, sobbing uncontrollably. I’m sorry Ginji.

“I was just trying to help him, why would he do that! How could I let him do that, how could I-”

“This wasn’t your fault Ginji, don’t you dare blame yourself!” Ban growled as he lifted his hand to cradle Ginji’s head. “I shouldn’t have … I shouldn’t have let you go off by yourself, I know better, I should’ve gone in with you!”

“I’m hungry,” Ginji sniffled softly as he pushed further into Ban’s strong embrace.

Scoffing at the pathetic whine in Ginji’s voice, Ban grinned softly as his partner started to hiccup. “God Ginji … you’re hopeless.” Sighing slowly, his long breath easing through his chest as he curled his fingers in Ginji’s spiky hair, Ban turned his eyes down to Ginji’s quieting sobs. “It is going to be ok Ginji-”

“I don’t want to talk about it anymore … please,” he sighed while pushing back to rub at his eyes.

Furrowing his brows as he closed his eyes, Ban exhaled sharply, “alright … can you stay outta trouble for a few minutes so I can take a shower?”

Nodding slowly as he glanced at the ground, slipping his hand along his arm as he lifted his eyes again to watch Ban brush across the room to the bathroom in the far corner, Ginji slowly turned his eyes around the room to stop and stare at the lazy fall of the rain through the open window. Exhaling a long breath as he heard the water kick on; he slowly turned his aching body toward the bathroom. Pausing in the doorway, his eyes widening as he stared at the slender muscles of Ban’s figure curling as he stooped over the tub, Ginji quickly turned his blushing face down as Ban rose to turn toward him.

“Stop looking so depressed Gin, I told you it was going to be ok,” Ban stated as he flicked his wet hands before drawing the curtain closed.

“I know,” Ginji simply stated as Ban turned the knob to turn on the shower nozzle. “Thank you.”

“You don’t need to thank me for keeping someone from raping you Ginji,” Ban sighed blankly as he drew his tank free of his pants. “I should actually be thanking you for stopping me back there.”

“Huh?”

Glancing at Ginji’s puzzled face, Ban sighed with a gentle smirk, “I’d have beaten that body, bones and all to dust if you’d not stopped me.”

Slowly shaking his head, Ginji leaned into the doorframe. “I don’t believe that … and you shouldn’t either Ban … don’t listen to what that lady said. You aren’t like her or him. You’re my Ban-chan.”

Wrinkling his nose at the annoying ‘pet’ name, Ban turned toward the shower as his cheeks colored slightly, “whatever, get out eel so I can clean up.”

“Alright Ban-chan!” Ginji smiled as he turned to disappear from the bathroom.

He’ll regret that later. Ban mused as he pulled his tank over his shoulders, dropping it somewhere as he smacked the door closed.

* * *

It seemed like hours had passed since Ban had climbed into the shower, though unfortunately, in actuality it’d been barely ten minutes, Ginji pathetically realized as he slouched into the pillow he’d crushed to his chest. He released several small even breaths as he stared at the cracked bathroom door, trying desperately to focus on anything but the attempted rape. He buried his face into the pillow as he began to shake again, his aching body flinching as he recalled each patch of his body that had been touched, kissed, bit, nearly torn.

Only several yards away, hands braced to the tiled walls as steaming water poured down his back, his head bowed between his arms, Ban’s sealed eyes trembled as A'Sirus’ words ate through his soul. A long breath lifted through his chest as steam curled up his pale body, dipping slowly around each smooth curve and flat toned muscle of the Jagan Master’s body. Parting his lips as he slowly drew his lids back, dull sapphires staring blankly at the porcelain floor of the tub; Ban straightened his stiff figure to arch his head to the water beating into him. His long fingers trembled in the scorching heat of the water as his mind strayed further from consciousness, making it impossible for him to sense the slowly opening door. Spitting a mouthful of water free as he drew his hands up through his drenched hair, his chest heaving with the heavy breath it cleared through the scorching water, Ban slowly opened his eyes as a pair of cotton sweats joined his own discarded clothes. Turning suddenly as he heard the curtain rings stir against the pole to see the curtain pull back, Ban stared at Ginji in confusion.

“Ginji … are you alright?” He quickly panicked to freeze as Ginji suddenly stepped into the tub, his space quickly cut in half. Grunting as he slipped on the diminishing space within the tub, his body flinching as Ginji’s arm went around his waist, Ban groaned as his back smacked into the wall, his hands plastered on either side of him with intentions of breaking his fall. He stared at Ginji’s pained expression with wide eyes which expanded as a trembling hand rested on his cheek.

“Ban …” Ginji breathlessly whispered with furrowed brows. An exasperated breath escaped Ginji as he closed the distance.

Snapping his eyes wide in startled disbelief as Ginji’s mouth closed over his parted lips, Ban remained frozen in his nearly prone position, shivering at the feathery touch of Ginji’s fingers curling along his lower back and the teasing caress against his mouth. Exhaling a long breath as he left Ban’s lips for air, Ginji’s head dropped sluggishly to Ban’s as he gasped several heated breaths.

“I want you Ban-” grunting as Ban’s hands snapped up to throw him gently off him, Ginji grasped Ban’s wrist as the brunette attempted to slip from beneath him. “Ban-”

“What the hell are you doing Ginji!?” Ban struggled, “get off me.”

“I can’t-”

“Have you lost your mind?” Ban growled as he wrenched his wrist free to grunt as Ginji pushed into his chest, his arms securing themselves around his waist. “Ginji!”

“It hurts Ban … I want you to make it all go away!”

Laxing his tense shoulders as Ginji sobbed against his chest, his breath calming as his heart began to spike, Ban stared guiltily at Ginji’s trembling figure as his hands slowly lifted up his partner’s smooth back.

“I’m sorry Ginji … but I can’t do this, not after what was-”

“But I want this!” Ginji protested as he shook his head along Ban’s chest, not yet noticing his racing heart. “You don’t know Ban … you don’t know how I feel, how dirty it feels … whether he took me or not, his lips were still all over me, his hands … its making me sick … I Need You!”

“Ginji …” Ban stuttered to pause as Ginji slowly drew himself from Ban’s embrace, the look in Ginji’s chocolate orbs freezing his blood.

“It’s what we both want …” Ginji breathlessly stated as he pushed closer, his weight pressing Ban into the wall again. “I know it is …”

“Wha … its not-”

“Then why is your heart racing?”

Snapping his mouth shut as he watched Ginji lean in, Ban pressed himself into the wall as Ginji’s hands rested beside his head. “Ginji I …” the blonde’s sudden snickering made Ban growl. “What’s so funny? Hey you dumb eel!”

“I’m sorry Ban,” Ginji mused as he calmed himself, “I’ve been so blind haven’t I … I finally understand why they hate you so much. Here I’ve been thinking I was the only one with these feelings and turns out you have been lusting after me as well.”

“Feelings …” Ban repeated.

Nodding slowly as he tipped his lips up along Ban’s neck, drawing a heated gasp from the brunette, Ginji nibbled slowly along the soft flesh. “Do you remember when you defeated Raitei, set me free?” He grinned as Ban nodded weakly, his body starting to tremble to the effects of his sensual touches. “When I was pouring all my worries out to you … you always make things so simple, for everyone. You’d told me to just leave, to leave the Limitless Fortress. But the more I dwelled on those few small words, the more I thought back to that memory … I realized that just like the man there’s always something more to your words as well.” He paused at Ban’s gasp, rising slowly to stare into Ban’s wide disbelieving eyes. “You were really telling me to come … weren’t you? You wanted me to come with you, to stay at your side. You saw something in me that you liked, the exact same thing that I saw in you.” Shaking his head slowly as he lifted his hands to cradle Ban’s face, Ginji leaned forward so his lips were hovering above Ban’s now trembling mouth.

“Ginji-”

“Go on Ban …” Ginji ordered as his hand brushed down Ban’s torso, gently caressing the tensing muscles.

“I can’t!” Ban rasped as he pushed against Ginji’s shoulders, trying to force him away. “You were nearly raped tonight … I won’t take advantage of you like this … you’re not thinking clearly!”

“No, for once I am!” Ginji struggled, pushing his slightly broader figure against Ban, forcing him backwards into the wall.

“You can’t possibly want this!” Ban shook his head as he continued to push at Ginji’s shoulders. “Not rationally-”

“Ban,” Ginji purred, “its just you and me … what needs to be rationalized about that. I want you, you can’t deny that you want me as well … I can feel it in your skin Ban. You’re trembling because you’re trying to hold yourself back. Don’t.”

“One of us has to think rationally here!” Ban growled as he managed to jerk away, tearing the curtain from his way to stumble from the tub. His breath staled as his head came several inches from crackling into the sink, instead strong determined hands bound the edge of his hip, the other fisting into Ban’s slick hair as the brunette was slammed into the bathroom wall. “Ginji I said no, let-”

His eyes brightened for the second time as Ginji forced his lips onto his, only this time being mid-yelling Ban found Ginji’s tongue invading his mouth in delicious tantalizing sweeps, forcing his knees to tremble and give out completely, only to find himself pinned by Ginji’s own body. A sharp breath lifted through Ban’s flaming nostrils as the blonde shifted slowly, rubbing erratically against his abdomen all while the blonde’s tongue teased Ban’s own slowly to life with teasing strokes.

“Become a part of me Ban … please,” Ginji breathed heavily into Ban’s lips, “make me yours … only yours!” Staring into Ban’s glazing sapphire eyes, both their labored breaths heating one another, Ginji slowly lifted his fingers across the water slipping down Ban’s face. “If you truly love me … show me.”

God … Ginji please don’t hate me for my weakness!

Exhaling a sharp breath as his hands rushed down Ginji’s shoulders to grasp his arms firmly, Ban pressed his lips demandingly to Ginji’s, beginning a ravaging battle as Ginji’s arms broke free to slip around Ban’s neck leaving Ban’s hands to settle onto the blonde’s soft hips. Sharp breaths were lifting through Ginji’s chest as they’d pull apart for a brief moment to once again continue the wild combat upon each other’s lips. His arms slid slowly down Ban’s back, pulling him tighter into himself when he suddenly felt the chilly wall press against him. Slowly opening his eyes, moaning delightfully at the lust that now inhabited the once dull sapphires to whine as Ban suddenly pulled back, Ginji drew in a deep breath as he was forced back into the wall. His heart beat heavily within his chest as Ban kept himself at arm’s length, his hard sapphires studying him carefully while Ginji did exactly the same, though lustfully.

“I make one condition Ginji …” Ban softly stated as he continued to hold the blonde securely to the wall. “If you try to force anything, I stop. We’ll go at my pace, I will not hurt you … I cannot hurt you. Do you understand me Ginji? Better control yourself eel.” He smirked as he moved into the heat radiating off Ginji, this time using his body to pin his blonde partner.

Panting heavily as Ban moved toward him, withering as Ban’s hips pressed against him, pinning him, Ginji buried his hands into the rested fall of Ban’s dark hair as their lips locked together again. He stroked gently through the soft tresses as Ban shifted, angling the kiss so his tongue dipped deeper into Ginji’s warm cavern. Moaning as Ban pulled reluctantly back to suckle the fingers that filled the void, Ginji withered beneath the hard sapphires as they watched his reactions carefully.

“You’ve really wanted me this much Ginji,” Ban sighed as he drew his fingers from Ginji’s mouth to press a soft kiss to Ginji’s lips. “Why’d you never say something?”

Peeling his eyes open again as he felt pressure on his thigh, feeling Ban’s gentle touch on his leg as he lifted it to his hip securing it to his side, Ginji quickly wrapped it around the brunette’s waist as moist fingers circled his entrance, pressing fleetingly testingly til a single finger slid slowly into the warm channel. Ginji drew in a deep pleasured breath as he felt Ban slowly twist his finger around his entrance, letting the tensing muscles become acclimated to the visitor.

Ban furrowed his brows irritably as he immediately had to pin his partner’s hips as he tried to start rocking. “Ginji.” He hissed warningly as the blonde shifted anxiously.
“Am I needing to stop?”

“No please don’t,” Ginji mewled as he tipped his head back, “I’m sorry … I want to feel you so bad, its killing me … please, try to hurry?”

Smiling slightly at the plea, Ban leaned forward to kiss Ginji gentle to groan lustfully as the blonde came immediately to life and started a fiercer battle between their two mouths. Satisfied with the blonde’s distraction, Ban slowly started moving his finger again while gently, cautiously inserting a second, then a third to scissor them easily apart within the surprisingly quite flexible muscles. Releasing a startled gasp as a warm strong hand closed suddenly around his burning member, Ban leaned heavily into Ginji while trying to regain his breath as the blonde coated him with a slick lotion.

“Guess you weren’t as distracted as I thought,” Ban breathed heatedly as he nibbled along Ginji’s earlobe, forcing a choked groan from his partner. “It’s not fair to touch another man’s treasure without permission.”

“You’re right,” Ginji grinned as he twisted against Ban, “but I’m only touching what’s mine.”

Securing his hand to the back of Ginji’s head as he pressed hot lips demandingly to Ginji, forcing his mouth open so he could thrust himself within the warm cavern, Ban moaned softly as the leg wrapped around his waist pulled him closer, nearly aligning him to Ginji’s entrance.

“Ban-chan!” Ginji moaned impatiently.

Exhaling a long breath, Ban thrust gently into his partner’s warmth, causing Ginji to arch as his inner muscles immediately tightened around the immense girth of his partner’s cock, his tense body trembled for several minutes more before his breath passed gingerly through his parting lips. Ban closed his eyes as he felt the muscles melt around him, accepting him. The muscles along his ass tightened as he thrust forward, starting a gentle rapid dance into Ginji’s soft body. Releasing a long breath as he stared at the vulnerable look of passion flushing through Ban’s cheeks as he rocked into him, Ginji reached out to stroke his fingers gingerly along the blushing cheeks before pulling him into a sweet soft kiss brimming with admiration and yearning. Consciously lifting his leg to secure it like the other around Ban’s slender waist, spreading his entrance further to allow his lover deeper penetration as he left himself suspended between Ban’s warm momentum and the chilly wall. Rasping heavily as he felt his climax nearing, Ban slid his hand slowly along Ginji’s quaking thigh to the enflamed organ bouncing between their two bodies.

“Ban!” Ginji gasped as he was pumped with long masterful strokes. “Oh God … Ban!”

Digging his fingers lightly into Ban’s shoulders as he chanted his name over and over as the pleasurable sensations building up within his body rushed with powerful force to his already knotted abdomen. Releasing a ridged gasp as his head snapped backwards, sweat and several tears springing to the air as he arched cleanly from the wall and his partner, Ginji released a wild scream, punctuating Ban’s name as he convulsed and released himself against Ban’s slender fingers.

Grinding his teeth together as every muscle throughout Ginji’s abdomen and anus tightened painfully around his large shuddering organ, Ban dug strong fingers into Ginji’s hips as he pressed a final hard thrust inside Ginji, striking his prostate while releasing himself within the tight channels of his partner.

“BAN-CHAN!” Ginji shrieked pleasurably.

Ban wobbled slightly as his strength fled him in a single fleeting moment. With a delighted sigh and Ginji’s arms wrapped tightly around him, Ban sank slowly to the floor.
