Souls of Love: Chapter Nine- Marry Me

Warning: This is a story that has gay, yaoi, slash, or whatever you want to call it inside it. This means that there are two guys in here that like each other. If you don't like, don't read. I won't give much more warning beyond that. If you don't mind, then keep on reading.


It had been two years since Shiyue had come to the Shinri residnce. One year and fifty weeks since Kenri had fallen for Shiyue and vice versa. Much had changed, and much did not. Kenri had gotten taller. He was six feet tall and the taller of the two. He became a bit more muscular, but it nothing much. It was only a bit more deffiniton. His hair remained the bit shorter than shoulder length. He finally decided to act his age too. The problem was that he was acting eighteen when he was twenty. Shiyue didn't change much either. He stayed the same height he was two years ago. Now two inches shorter, he could efectivly cuddle with Kenri, dispite the fact that he hated having to look up at him sometimes when he was mad. It didn't let him make the right expression of disdain. It only made him cuter. His silver hair grew longer too. The short parts were kept at a lengthy three inches. That's not all. His braid now extended to his ankles. The look was simply too cute. It was a hassle to manage at times, but Kenri helped him in the morning with it. Shiyue had also become more of a working resident then a slave. Everyone in the household knew his name and his smile. He worked happily along with everyone, although everyone was cautious around him because if anything happened to him, they would end up having to answer to Kenri. Kenri had become a bit more protective over Shiyue, but Shiyue didn't mind.

"Kenri, let go of my braid," said Shiyue sternly as he tried to get out of bed.

The two had broken down the wall between the two bedrooms, made it one, and shared the room. Right now, Shiyue was being held by his braid. Kenri loved being able to get to him like this. The braid had become something of a leash to Kenri. At least he thought so. Shiyue was very peeved to begin with about people pulling his braid. Although he had grown used to Kenri doing this every morning and pulling him back in to sleep, he wanted to do some work so he didn't seem like a free loader.

"Shiyue, come back and sleep. It's too early. No one else is awake. Come back and sleep with me," whined Kenri. He still acted like a child at times. Particularly the times where he practically used Shiyue as a teddy bear. Shiyue didn't mind that either. It was good snuggling time, but he really wanted to work now.

"But Kenri, if I get my work done now, I'll be able to spend more time with you than working my butt off later on in the day." Shiyue said trying to coax the braid out of Kenri's hands.

Kenri's eyes lit up at the thought of Shiyue's butt. "Mmmmm... Your butt..."

Shiyue slapped his head. He forgot that now, when ever Kenri was in a sleepy state, he tended to get very perverted thoughts since he was already half dreaming. Right now, Kenri was dreaming of Shiyue's butt again.

"Kenri, please let go of me! Or you're not getting any tonight!" scolded Shiyue.

Kenri instantly sat up, eyes wide, he was fully awake. The braid slipped from his hand. "WHAT! You're not going to let me have my fun tonight over this! You're no fair anymore, Shiyue!" shouted Kenri.

Shiyue sighed and hugged Kenri. "Look, so I had to use drastic measures to get you off my braid, that doesn't mean that you can't have your fun tonight. You did let go you know..." wispered Shiyue in Kenri's ear.

"Mmmmm... Who cares? Now I have you in my grasp... Now I'm never letting go just like I promised you..." said Kenri holding Shiyue and dragging him down with him to sleep.

"Alright... I give up... But you're still not getting any tonight." said Shiyue. "I'm going to be too tired for anything tonight."

"Nooooooo! I give you the day off! Now sleep!" said Kenri pulling him down and closer even more.

"Well master, if you insist, then I will sleep." said Shiyue giving in and relaxing next to Kenri. He hadn't gotten ready to go anyway.

"That's a good Shiyue," giggled Kenri. That earned him a playful punch from Shiyue.

The two slept until noon. The only reason it was noon and not later was that Lord Shinri came with his hand over his eyes in the room, yelling at them to wake up and get going. Kenri got up, threw a pillow at him, and almost would have gone back to sleep had Shiyue been there. Instead, he was at the closet changing having escaped Kenri's grasp when he threw the pillow. Espcially his pillow. After having Kenri chasing him around for geting out of bed, saying that Shiyue didn't love him any more, the two walked out of the room with messed up hair and wrinkled clothes.

"Are you pleased with yourself now, Kenri! We got yelled at by your dad!" preached Shiyue.

Kenri got behind him and put his arms around Shiyue's waist. His chin resting on the top of Shiyue's head. "Come on! Don't act like you didn't need the extra rest! You're getting dark circles under your eyes. It destroys how cute you are. So, it was for the greater good that I got you to sleep more! No one but me can bear to see you so sleepy looking!" argued and soothed Kenri.

"It's mostly cause of you that I am sleepy." replied Shiyue.

"Don't act like you don't like it," pointed out Kenri. "Espcially last night."

Shiyue shivered, the memory still fresh in his head. He leaned against Kenri. "Yeah, yeah, so it was great. Okay not great, super, fantastic, excellent, or amazing. It was undescribeably good. I haven't had an orgasm like that since the first time we did it." stated Shiyue blushing.

"Hm... So you really did like last night." teased Kenri.

"Keep it up and you won't have a tonight." teased back Shiyue.

"That's just sooooo wrong." said Kenri. "It ain't right at all teasing the one you love like that. Ain't right at all."

"But only I can pull it off," said Shiyue. "If I don't, who will stop the crazed sex machine you are?"

"Good point," laughed Kenri.

The two laughed on until Shiyue had to go one way to start his chores, and Kenri had to go the other way for studies, but Kenri didn't go for studies, as soon as he turned the corner, he waited until Shiyue was down the hall. He then ran back to the room and got something. He checked the clock. He desperately needed to rush to his tutor. Kenri became a golden blur down the halls until he stopped at the library.

"KENRI! Why are you late!" said the tutor sternly.

"Sorry, I woke up late." appologised Kenri.

"Hmmm... So I heard. Take your seat and pull out your books."

Kenri sighed and submitted to the work. Advanced mathamatical equasions went through his head. Large vocabulary words stuck to his brain. Scientific facts nearly borred him to death. Language lessons were a bit more interesting. History was as borring as ever. Even more so than usual. By the end of the three hours, Kenri was ready to sleep again. If he did, he didn't know when he'd be able to ask Shiyue a very important question.

"Kenri, you may go now." said the tutor. Kenri gave a sigh of relief and ran out the door to track down Shiyue.

Kenri went through numerous halls, grand stairs, huge rooms, and found Shiyue outside playing with his hair. The long silvery locks gleamed in the sun as he brushed it with his fingers. Each strand seperated perfectly. A light breeze came and some of the hairs lifted in it. The braid lay in his lap, the ends being fingered and stroked.

"Shiyue, I'm baaack..." he wispered in his ear.

Shiyue turned to face him. "I was wondering when you were coming."

"Shiyue, I have something to say to you, but I need to say it in private. Can we go to the room?" asked Kenri.

"Um... Okay..." said Shiyue unsurely. Kenri grabbed his arm and dragged him with lightening speed all the way back. The door was locked with a click. Kenri dug in his pocket for the box. He found it and toyed with it in his pocket. He was trying to find the right words to say.

"Um Shiyue, it's been a while now since we got together. We've shared bad times, good times, and our lives. I want to be able to do this forever. Will you mary me?" asked Kenri while opening the box, taking out the ring and putting it on Shiyue's ring finger.

Shiyue looked at the ring. It was silver with a cresent moon on the left and a saphire in the middle of the cresent moon. Shiyue's eyes shined with happiness, then suddenly clouded over with saddness as he clutched the ring to his heart.

"Kenri, as much as I want to, as much as I need to say yes, I can't." said Shiyue sadly.

"What! But-but why? Was it something I said? Did? What! Why not?" pleaded Kenri. "I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Why don't you?"

"The only reason standing in my is that... You can't marry a slave, remember?" replied Shiyue softly.

The hard reality hit Kenri with a striking force. How could he have forgoten? Shiyue was here now because he was his personal slave. Sure he had been allowed more freedoms than the average slave, but he still was a slave none the less.

"Then, I'll declare you free! My father will understand!" declared Kenri.

"When you do, and he does, I will gladly say yes. Until then, I can not accept this ring." said Shiyue as he took it off his finger and put it in Kenri's hand. It hurt him so much to do so, but the laws were the laws. Slaves could not marry their masters. Since Kenri's dad bought Shiyue for Kenri, Kenri was technicaly Shiyue's master anyway. They were not to marry.

Kenri looked at the ring in his hand. He saw the pain and saddness in Shiyue's eyes and heart. He then grabbed Shiyue's wrist.

"We'll go see my father about this now." he said coldly and ran out of the room with Shiyue to his dad's office.

Shiyue's eyes shined with tears. Kenri was so determined to get married. Shiyue felt a bit undeserving for such a love, but it was his and he was happy for it.

"DAD!" screamed Kenri as he barged in. Lord Shinri was busy filling out papers.

"What is it?" said Lord Shinri with bordem in his voice.

"Will you allow me to make Shiyue a free person and marry him, please?" asked Kenri with hope in his eyes.

Lord Kenri looked at him. Then looked at Shiyue. Shiyue was pleading in a way too. After knowing what was going on between them for so long, how could he say no?

"Alright. You have my permission. Shiyue, you are declared a free person. You may marry. Plan all you want. I will pay for everything." said Lord Shinri calmly.

"Thank you!" the both shouted. Kenri then ran out of the room, still dragging Shiyue and went back to their room.

"Crazy kids..." murmured Lord Shinri as he shook his head.

When the two got to the room, Kenri somewhat shoved Shiyue against the door and kissed him passionately while putting the ring on his finger.

"Dad has agreed, I asked, now will you accept?" pleaded Kenri.

"Let me answer you like this," said Shiyue. He then ran to his cabinet and pulled out something. He grabbed Kenri's hand and put something on his ring finger. It was a gold ring with the same design as his. Except it had a a cresent sun and ruby in place of the moon and saphire. " I was going to save this for your birthday gift, but I'll give it to you anyway. I'll marry you, if you'll marry me." he said breathlessly.

"Then it's a yes both ways," said Kenri as he kissed Shiyue again.

The next two months were spent with planning, inviting, designing, and a ton of other stuff that happened for weddings. Shiyue had managed to get a hold of even his parents and Inori. Inori had become a free person and was working as a seer for people in a town. He said he would rush over a soon as possible to attend. Shiyue's parents were shocked and decided to come too. It wasn't the wedding they were hoping for, but they were happy for him anyway. Shiyue, however, drew the line for them, saying that they weren't allowed to get at the money of the family. He knew that they would if they could, so he got Kenri's dad to give them a good amount of money to keep them at bay for awhile. Food caterers were picked from the best. A grand cake was designed for the occasion. Every last detail was taken care off. Lord Shinri and everyone at the Shinri mansion gave it their all to make sure nothing went wrong.

"Kenri," said Shiyue tiredly. "I think we're working everyone, including ourselves too hard. The wedding's not for another month. Let's give everyone a break."

Kenri looked up from guest lists. "Well... I guess you're right. Besides, you and me need our sleep to look nice don't we?"

"Yeah, so let's take it a bit easier right now and sleep. No you know what right now. I'm too tired." said Shiyue.

Kenri let out a moan of protest, but instantly quieted when Shiyue got in closer to him.

A month later, everything was set. The guests arived, Inori espically to Shiyue's delight which made Kenri jelous. The food was made. A place rented. A priest there to conduct the wedding. Everything was perfect and hell would have to break loose and fight both Kenri and Shiyue to wreck it.

"I can't believe this day is here and I'm as nervous as heck." said Shiyue. He was getting ready, and nervosity was getting the better of him.

"Relax Shiyue. Today's your big day! You need to loosen up. Everything will go as planned! I forsaw it! Don't forget who's the seer here!" said Inori who was helping Shiyue.

"I guess so..."

Meanwhile, Kenri was just as nervous. His dad had to tie him down and yell at him to calm down before anything was accomplished.

The time came. Kenri stood at the end of the path with the priest. His suit was Chinese style and colored black. The music began. First Inori came out waving incense and throwing spirit wards as a sign of wishing good luck and no harmful influences. Then one of Kenri's girl cousins came as a flower girl and threw petals everywhere. Then, Shiyue and his dad came out. Shiyue was breath-takingly cute and handsome. His hair was spiked down to give it the right effect. The braid was undone. It was pinned upward, going up his head, then allowed to flow downwards as a ponytail. It wavered as he walked. Everything on him, was white, silver, and very pale blue. The jacket was a Chinese shirt, white with silver embroidering of moons and stars. The inner shirt was the very pale blue. It was so light, it could be guessed to be white in the correct light. His pants were the same color with silver embroidering of dragons on it. He soon left his father behind and came up to the priest too.

"Family, friends, and those to be. We gather here today to bless this union of these two men. We ask the eight holy spirits of water, fire, earth, wind, light, sun, moon, and star to bless this union in eternal harmony. Lest anyone object, please speak now or these two shall be forever bound." said the priest. No one spoke. Not a word was said in this pause. "Then, I now pronunce you husband and husband. You may now kiss the husband."

Shiyue and Kenri leaned in and shared a small kiss. Everyone cheered and clapped. Some cried in joy.

"TO THE RECEPTION!" shouted Lord Shinri. He was looking to get drunk in happiness.

Everyone flooded out of the temple room to the ball room. Lights and candles where everywhere. Tables surounded the shining dance floor. There was a bar in the right corner. At the back of the room, was the grand table. There, Shiyue and Kenri took the center seats. Lord Shinri sat next to Kenri. Shiyue's parents sat next to him. Inori was next to Shiyue's parents. Everyone filled in and the party started. Food and drinks were passed out. Soon, it was time to cut the cake. Shiyue and Kenri got up and went over to it. Shiyue took the knife in one hand and Kenri put one of his on that one. Together they cut a piece of the huge cake. When it came time to feed it, they both threw it in each other's faces. Needless to say, everyone laughed. Even the two grooms.

"More wine!" shouted Lord Shinri. "More beer! More drinks for everyone!"

Everyone cheered at the generous lord. When the drinks were passed out, Inori tapped his glass.

"Attention! Attention everyone! I would like to make a toast! To Shiyue and Kenri! May you marriage be a happy one like the one I saw in my visions! Cheers!" said Inori as he raised his glass of wine.

"Cheers!" said everyone. They all took a sip or gulp. After that, everyone went to the dance floor to dance. Shiyue and Kenri in the middle of the floor.

"This is one of the happiest days of my life," said Shiyue. "Thanks for making it that. I love you Kenri."

"Same here... I love you Shiyue. I love you with all my heart," replied Kenri.

The party went on to the midnight hours. Everyone soon left. Shiyue and Kenri went on their honeymoon the next day.

"Shiyue! Get out here already! What are you doing in the bathroom when we're supposed to be having, you know!" shouted Kenri getting impatent.

Shiyue finished up and ran into Kenri's arms which made him fall on the bed.

"Well come on. You wanted this, now you have it. What are you going to do?" asked Shiyue sexily.

"Mmmmm... This!" said Kenri and he flipped them over.

That night, they had hot passionate love. It was like that for four whole weeks before they returned home. By the smiles on their faces, they had really enjoyed the whole honey moon. They saw many sights and visited many different places. When they returned home, Kenri would get the shock of his life.


Heh, no lemon. Sorry, don't feel like it. I'm not going to tell you what that shock is just yet. You'll have to wait till the next chapter to find out. So review, you know you want to! ^_^
