36Of Healing and Destroying: Chapter Nine- Re-bonding
Warning: In this story, there are going to be two boys that like each other, or as I refer to it, yaoi. If you are close minded and hate the thought, get the hell out. If you're open minded, then please do keep reading and... YOU ROCK!
Here's a warning for you people. Sure it's been awhile, but at least I remember how I wanted the story to go and in this one you get some Solanu/Lunaru action and is mostly centered on them. So yeah, if you don't want it, don't read it. Please don't give me problems over it. And I've only started realizing how horrible my spelling was in the last chapter too. Ugh… I would try to fix it but I'd probably end up making it worse.
A yawn was the only noise made along with the rustling of sheets as Solanu got up and blinked his dark crimson eyes. Red and golden hair was shaken a bit, as he got up, naked as the day he was born, reaching towards the ceiling in a stretch. A grunt was offered to an awakening Lunaru in some form of a greeting. Lunaru seemed only slightly miffed, but said nothing of it.
Before long, Solanu was off making rounds and yelling at soldiers and the guards. Lunaru was at Shijiko's side, eating breakfast and making idle chat. Afternoons were spent practicing whatever they needed to and at night, Solanu would fuck Lunaru. No really, it was just fucking. It had become so repetitive that they both didn't seem to care much more.
This continued on for about a month. As each day passed, Solanu seemed less caring. Lunaru became more depressed. Of course, Solanu did have a reason to be distracted. Over the last month, security was being tightened. An assassin had gotten through to nearly kill Kokero. If it weren't for Shijiko getting his powers back at the last minute, they would all be lord-less. Thus, all the guards, soldiers, and Solanu were being pushed to their limits to perform. It left no room for them to do much in the way of personal lives.
"I… Just really can't stand it… It's like he doesn't care anymore," said Lunaru, curling up in his rather large and comfortable chair, staring blankly at the breakfast in front of him while Shijiko looked at him in concern. Who better to go for advice than another uke?
"That can't be it Lunaru. I mean, he loves you doesn't he? And you two have bonded. I'm sure that it's nothing. Maybe he's just stressed? Tired? Kokero has been running them a little ragged ya know…" Shijiko's optimism was something seen quite often lately. Lunaru had a suspicion of why it was so. It was comprised of late night activities and something he had said once that went along the lines of, "… and no matter how many times I've told him I really can't get pregnant even with a spell he still wants to try every night…"
At times, Lunaru envied what Shijiko and Kokero had. Sure they had every reason to be like that, having only recently gotten together. A while ago, him and Solanu had been like that too. Okay, maybe not exactly a while ago. How about before they went their separate ways.
In the years before Shijiko had grown into the omnipotent healer he practically was now and was still a little ten-year-old kid, Solanu and Lunaru had been nearly inseparable. Then came the time when they were fifteen and Shijiko had accidentally burst in on them and fainted. Although it had spoiled the mood then, they had continued later on that day and bonded. There wasn't a time where they couldn't be found together, proud to show off their bond marks.
Lunaru absent-mindedly stroked his while thinking of times in the past. He could hear a vague mental chuckle from Solanu echoing in his head. It felt odd, touching his bond mark. They were supposed to last forever, a deep bite that created a scar. But for some reason, it felt a little shallower than the last time Lunaru had checked. He could only barely hear Solanu telling him not to worry. Shrugging it off, he tuned back in on what Shijiko was saying. He vaguely remembered Shijiko saying something about Kokero, a bondage fetish, food, and blue moon, but dismissed it quickly.
Later that night, Lunaru lay on the bed reading. Solanu came in; looking dead tired and flopped on top of Lunaru, nuzzling his neck.
"Nngh... Solanu… Stop… Not tonight…" murmured Lunaru.
Solanu groaned. "Okay, what did I do wrong now? All I wanted to do was have some nice sex with you and go to sleep."
"How can you call it sex? You can barely get it up anymore and you're not even doing anything! I have to do everything!" objected Lunaru.
"Is it my fault? I'm being run ragged! All I want is to fuck and go to sleep!"
"You're the captain of the guard and you run the soldiers. YOU CAN FORCE THEM AND YOURSELF TO TAKE IT EASY! AND HOW DARE YOU CALL ME A CHEAP FUCK!"
"I CAN'T GIVE THEM A BREAK! IF I DO, WHAT IF SOMEONE ELSE BREAKS IN! AND I NEVER SAID YOU WERE A CHEAP FUCK!"
"THEN IF YOU'RE SO WORRIED ABOUT KOKERO AND YOUR SOLDIERS THEN GO SLEEP IN THE BARRACKS!"
"FINE, I WILL!"
Lunaru kicked Solanu out of the room and shut the door with a bang that resounded down the hall. After all the rage was gone from such a short argument, both collapsed down to the floor, exhausted. Lunaru broke down crying. Solanu got up slowly and trudged down to the barracks.
The barracks were usually well kept. Solanu, however, dreaded his portion. He was allotted a good portion while he was there, however, Kokero had soon enough given him a room in the castle. All of his things had been moved out of the room, except maybe a few things he knew he could always come back and get. Dust was bound to have accumulated.
Solanu entered to see he was wrong. Everything was as immaculate as before, maybe even more so. The sheets were clean and probably just replaced. Everything was dusted. Obviously Kokero had the person cleaning the barracks clean everything, including his old room. He looked to his mirror and smiled softly. There, jammed into the frame so it would stay, was an old picture of him and Lunaru. Shijiko had taken it for them. The two were proudly showing off the fish they caught, arms around each other's shoulders with big smiles. He remembered that day vividly. After catching the fish, their moms had cooked them spectacularly all together at Shijiko's house for dinner. Solanu and Lunaru had run off to find a place to make out while the fish was being cooked.
"Oh whatever did happen to us…"
The next morning Lunaru woke up alone in a bed too big for him and far too cold. He walked into the bathroom and washed his face before looking into the mirror. His fingertips barely swept over his neck, but it set him into a state of alarm. He pulled down his collar and checked his neck carefully. He screamed in his head for Solanu, but nothing happened. Lunaru gave one loud cry of remorse and fell to the ground sobbing. The bond mark was gone.
Shijiko came in a few hours later, wondering why his friend was late for breakfast and found Lunaru curled in a fetal position, still crying. He ran over to his side trying to find out what was wrong. All Lunaru would do was say, "It's gone… It's gone… It's gone…" After looking around the room, he finally understood.
"It's okay now Lunaru. I'm here. I'll make everything better, okay?" murmured Shijiko softly until Lunaru had stopped crying and could get up. "Now come on, we'll go eat brunch and you can tell me everything."
Later that night, Shijiko sat on Kokero's lap, staring into a warm fire. "It's so sad…" he said softly. "I thought bonds were supposed to last forever. Now just look at Solanu and Lunaru… The bond is gone. Lunaru was a mess when I found him…" Shijiko curled up into a ball and Kokero's arms wrapped around him. "I hope that it never happens to us…"
"It won't." There was a measure of protectiveness in Kokero's voice that Shijiko hadn't heard too much, but loved all the same.
"Still… We need to help them…"
"How? They're both as stubborn as you. No way I'm getting mixed up in this."
Shijiko turned around in Kokero's lap and started whispering in his ear. "If you promise to help I'll let you ….. with … and we can …. and then we'll… plus we can….." As Shijiko went on, Kokero's eyes widened.
"Are you serious?"
"If you help, yes. And all you'll need to do is tell Solanu that the bond is broken because I'm sure he doesn't know. Then I'll take care of the rest," responded Shijiko with a seductive smile. One that Kokero didn't even know he had.
"Consider it done. Now about that reward…"
The next day Lunaru woke up feeling miserable. He didn't go to Shijiko. Shijiko in particular didn't care. He was busy mixing up something with all his potions and herbs, humming happily. As of now, in some sort of clear flask, he had some pink, fizzing concoction brewing over a fire. Kokero came up behind him and looked at what he was doing.
"What the heck is that?" he asked with all bluntness available in his being. "Is that what I think it is?"
"Yes and no," replied Shijiko while pouring out some into another flask, swirling it around before pouring something into it and swirling it again. It turned a dark red color afterwards for a brief moment before turning clear. "It's not a love potion if that's what you're thinking. It's instant passion. It'll make you passionate about whatever it is you're doing. Or hopefully who."
"You're very evil, did I ever tell you that?"
"Hm… No. But I'm very sure I told you. Now here." Shijiko poured some of the clear fluid into a bottle of water and gave it to Kokero. "Make sure Solanu drinks this some time tonight. Primarily before you tell him about the bond between him and Lunaru being dissolved. He'll go rushing over to Lunaru, who'll have drunk some of this too, and viola! Instant fixing of emotional problems, hopefully good sex, and bonding."
"I'm surprised at how bluntly you can say all that." Kokero looked at the bottle of water spiked with potion with a little worry.
"Take it easy. I'm not as good as I am now without having done something like this before."
"Whom did you do this to before?"
"My friends Shiken and Kyo. They're getting along much better now."
"Remind me never to piss you off ever again."
That night Solanu was running his rounds in the castle. He was dead tired. Walking around all day, training men, and barely having time for even lunch. He had even skipped dinner. Kokero seemed to appear from around a corner smiling. A twitch of Solanu's eye occurred at the happy face. Someone was obviously getting some. However, instead of gloating, he offered Solanu a bottle of water. Solanu took the opportunity gratefully and drank half of it. Kokero smiled at him.
"So how are things going with you and Lunaru?"
Solanu groaned. "Don't get me started." He took another swig of the water. "We had this big fight and he kicked me out. I stayed last night in the barracks after so many years."
"A fight huh? Lunaru's all broken up now. Shijiko tells me that his bond mark's gone."
"What? That's not…" Solanu quieted and tried to talk to Lunaru through his thoughts. At first, it just seemed like he was ignoring him. But then Solanu realized, he couldn't feel anything from Lunaru's end. Nothing. And all his thoughts simply echoed in his head. He instantly reached for the familiar spot on his neck to find no scar. "No… It can't… It's not…"
"Go to him Solanu. Talk to him, do whatever you want. Take the night off, but go make peace with him."
Kokero didn't have to tell Solanu twice as he had already bolted off, full speed for his room. The door burst open to reveal Shijiko sitting there with Lunaru. A bottle of some juice or wine being shared between them. Shijiko got up.
"Looks like he's come for you. I'll leave you two to settle your differences." With that, Shijiko left with ease. But before he did, he whispered to Kokero as he passed, "Be kind and gentle tonight." Then he left, off to his and Kokero's room.
"Lunaru… I… The bond… It's really gone?"
"Yes." Lunaru got up. "Yes, the bond is gone. And I'm willing to bet it's your fault!"
"Why my fault!" shouted back Solanu. "What did I do?"
"You were a careless bastard, that's what! You didn't care for me! Every single time last month that we had sex, you only went until you came! I did not find release with you at all. And you never made an attempt to be with me. You never stood up to Kokero and asked him to let you off to be with me!"
"Excuse me if I'm tired and I have responsibilities! You're not the only person my world revolves around!"
"If you're so tired then you won't resist this!"
And with that, Lunaru socked Solanu in the jaw. Solanu's eyes burned with anger and passion as he punched Lunaru back with a powerful uppercut. Even though the blow temporarily stunned Lunaru, as he was rising up into the air, he kicked Solanu in the head. Solanu flew into the wall causing some cracks in the stone. He got up, wiping blood from his lips. He saw Lunaru spitting and it flew right into the fireplace. Solanu raised an eyebrow before charging Lunaru and going for his gut. Lunaru shoved the punch away with his left hand before grabbing Solanu's wrist, chopping him in the back of the neck with his right, and then grabbing his collar, kicking the back of Solanu's right knee and throwing him to the ground. As he was about to stomp on him, Solanu rolled away and slammed an open palm into Lunaru's solar plexus, causing him to slightly lose his breath. Solanu took the chance to tackle Lunaru. They both landed up on the bed, punching and scratching each other since they were so close, rolling about, trying to pin the other.
Solanu was now on top and both were growling at each other before he took advantage of his position and kissed Lunaru deeply, his hands tearing at the cloth that hid away Lunaru's naked body from his grasp. Lunaru moaned loudly, also ripping at Solanu's clothes, wanting to feel skin desperately. A hand pinched Lunaru's nipple and he cried out before a lips were kissing it and a mouth was sucking on it.
Lunaru ran his hands through Solanu's hair, trying to force him closer, and to go lower. Solanu only smirked and instead sucked on the spot where the bond mark on Lunaru once was.
"I'm going to mark you as mine again Lunaru. And you're going to enjoy it very much."
Lunaru shivered before groaning. Solanu had managed to rip off his pants and was now grinding his covered crotch against Lunaru's. It felt incredible to Lunaru who had not had his crotch or the general area touched much in the past couple of times they had sex. His groan was swallowed hungrily by Solanu as his tongue delved into the hot depths of Lunaru's mouth, plundering it for all it was worth. Lunaru tried desperately to rid Solanu of his many shirts before finally succeeding in ripping them off and pinching Solanu's nipples almost painfully before rubbing them soothingly.
Solanu shrugged off the torn pieces of cloth before returning his attention to Lunaru's neck, nipping at it, hinting at what he was going to do. Lunaru pulled Solanu up and kissed him while ripping at his pants. He succeeded and proceeded to grope the hardness he found. Solanu groaned before shoving aside Lunaru's hand and grinding both their erections together.
"Ahhh! Ngh… Solanu… Onegai…" panted Lunaru. He groped around wildly, looking for something to cling to. His nails raked down Solanu's back, nearly drawing blood.
Solanu kissed a trail down Lunaru's chest, abandoning his grinding, and licked a path from the base to the tip of Lunaru's arousal, tasting his readily leaking fluids. Fingers tangled in his hair, trying to force him closer or lower. Solanu parted his lips enough to let the head of Lunaru's erection pass through. The minute he did and stabbed his tongue at it, his mouth was filled as Lunaru released eagerly, screaming Solanu's name. However, Lunaru was still yet eager to go and after Solanu swallowed he came up again for a kiss, stroking Lunaru, aiming for a second release.
Lunaru parted his legs, allowing Solanu to sit between them rather than straddle his legs. Solanu took this opportunity happily. He reached for lube with his free hand and some how managed to undo the top and coat his fingers with only one hand.
"Now Lunaru, come for me again."
Before Lunaru could say anything, a lubed finger inserted itself in his entrance and poked a spot it had long memorized. Lunaru came again, crying out, although not as loud as the last time. Solanu licked the seed off his hand, Lunaru watching him through half lidded eyes, knowing how sexy it looked. He instantly tackled Solanu, and began pumping him furiously. Solanu shuddered before coating Lunaru's hand with a groan. It seemed that Lunaru wanted to make this a very long night as he teasingly licked his hand clean.
Solanu tackled Lunaru, pinning his hands above his head and parting his legs with the other before sticking his finger in again. Slowly moving it about, he soon added a second. Lunaru shuddered. Solanu remembered that Lunaru was never that at ease when being prepared. However, the shudder was unusual. Lunaru felt rather loose, as if he wanted Solanu there in him. Solanu hastened with his third finger, scissoring and stretching Lunaru to his fullest.
"Ngh… Solanuuu! I need you now!" cried out Lunaru.
Lunaru wrapped his legs around Solanu's waist and slammed Solanu's arousal into himself, some how managing to avoid injuring himself by missing. It was something they had both long since memorized, every part of each other's body and how to do things. Now more than ever, both of them valued that knowledge.
"Lunaru! You could get hurt!" shouted Solanu out of reflex.
"Just fuck me already."
With an invitation like that, Solanu found himself unable to resist. He started with slow shallow thrusts, driving Lunaru and himself mad before he gave in to pounding into the pliant body beneath him. Lunaru's cries and moans were quite pleasing to hear. It wasn't long before Lunaru succumbed to the pleasure of being filled, his prostate being pressed constantly, while his erection grinded and bumped against Solanu's abs. Solanu came soon after, Lunaru's walls tightening around him.
However, both were far from done. Solanu pulled out and sat up. He then held Lunaru around the waist and picked him up before entering him again, his chest to Lunaru's back. Lunaru began to bounce up and down in Solanu's lap, groaning, while stroking himself with help from Solanu's hand while the other pinched and rubbed Lunaru's nipples. His mouth latched on to Lunaru's neck, preparing to mark him with this last bout.
"Ngh… Can't… want…" moaned Lunaru as Solanu sucked on his neck. "Onegai…"
Solanu understood the incoherent sentence and withdrew from Lunaru before turning him so he could see Lunaru's face and impaling him again. Lunaru gave a satisfied cry as moments later; he came before biting into Solanu. Solanu bit Lunaru at the same time, coating Lunaru's inner walls with his seed again as he lapped up the blood that flowed from the wound. He could feel Lunaru's tongue lapping at the bite mark he had caused. Shivers ran down both their spines.
Both groaned happily before collapsing onto the bed, Solanu still deep within Lunaru. He showed no intentions of removing his now limp arousal from him. Lunaru didn't seem to mind at all. Solanu pulled him close, despite how sticky and sweaty they both were. The embrace spoke volumes and Lunaru curled up against Solanu's chest even more.
They both didn't have to say it. They felt it in their hearts now even more. Smiling to each other, Solanu pulled up a sheet over them before they drifted off to sleep. Both feeling warm and comfortable in each other's embrace.
The next morning, no one needed to ask if everything was okay again. If they did not see the happy faces, they had heard it last night. Then again… Shijiko might have been screaming just as loud. His limp that morning proved it.
Tada! I finally made a fricken chapter! It was the recent surge of reviews telling me to update that put me to it, I'm ashamed to say. No matter, at least I got this up. The next few chapters will include the ending of the story. Probably about one or two more chapters? Don't worry. If I can actually get my act together, I can pull out what I wanted to be a sequel for this story. If anyone will tolerate it. Well… Go on, review if you must. Yell at me for a crappy chapter and make a few more threats on my life if you will. It'll get me to work.
