Monster Meets Monk: Reaper Says Hi

Kyoki snorted and brought the kid down and up close to his face, their noses nearly touching and spoke lowly, "He is what he is? No....he is who he is... What we are does not define us...what defines us is who we are on the inside...." he said lowly as he glared at the boy before he slammed him into the ground, causing a small crack to form.

"You're right...I am crazy....but it doesn't change the fact that you're going to die..." he said lowly and lifted the kid back up and leaned in, sinking his fangs in and began to drink, taking deep gulps until there was nothing left. When he was done, he simply tossed the beaten and battered corpse to the hounds of hell and let them fight over it. "Nothing is sacred to you humans...so I will hold nothing of yours sacred either...not even your children..." he said lowly, coldly as he turned and walked out of the darkness and looked at Kansei.

Yojo, in the mean time, closed the gates and watched them lower into the ground. When the gates were gone, he slammed his scythes down and let the darkness fade away and then sent his scythes away and turned to look at Kansei and Zero, waiting for something to be said that applied to him.

The boy screamed and cried for a man who made no move to pull away from Zero. Although he had been 'asleep' even in the change Kanseina didn't trust anyone enough to be able to fall into a deep one having heard all that was said.

"Yojo.......I do believe I gave you the day off......if you wish to spend that making certain that Kanseina settles in you can." he said looking over at him before looking over at Kyoki. "And you Kyoki Inu owe me undivided attention I'm going to collect.....as soon as Kanseina is in a room resting." Zero said as he looked at the man who had served Aoi long before Zero returned into Aoi's life and even now still served his brother although Aoi was not here on Earth reigning as King. It didn't matter to Kyoki he would continue to do as Aoi wished and wait for his return. As would Yasei and Jigoku.

Kanseina looked over at Yojo resting in Zero's arms still. "So they're all gone?" he sounded a bit lost. So used to those around him being the ones to abuse him the most he wasn't used to this and wasn't sure what to make of it. In the end though Kanseina was torn between being happy and relieved he had a family and lost because he didn't know what to do with one that didn't want to hurt him verbally or physically almost every moment of the day.

Yojo nodded to Zero and replied lowly, "Yes Zero...I will accompany Kansei to a room and keep him company while he rests..."

Kyoki though, just spat on the ground and looked over at Kansei. "Of course they're all gone...they were annoying and needed to be removed..." it was all he said before he looked over at Zero and licked his lips.

"Of course my dear prince...but please...don't expect me to be like I usually am...I'm not in the mood to play like I usually do..." he said lowly and moved, vanishing and reappearing before Zero and pulling him in close. He was actually feeling rather vulnerable, and really needing to be part of a gentle 'adventure'.

Kanseina was quiet he wasn't upset about there loss like he thought he would be but he wasn't happy about it either more like numb inside.

Zero looked at Kyoki looked into those crimson red depths usually so full of such a deep distance between himself and everyone else and Zero rose an eyebrow. "However you want to play is fine with me Kyoki." he said looking at him and then glanced at Yojo knowing that Kyoki would not mind the sooner Kyoki could find the release he was looking for. Ironically over the centuries Zero had learned to adapt to all sorts of pleasure wither rough or gentle he could feel it all now. "Yojo do you want to take him to a room to rest?" he asked without turning his gaze away from Kyoki. He'd worry about offending Kanseina but the man hadn't been resting right so Zero had flex his powers a bit just enough to knock the man out into a deep healing sleep neutralizing his energy and his powers causing a complete black out. Before letting go so that he would heal. A chyldes sleep was important and Kanseina was to frightened of not knowing what was going on to sleep on his own. He'd apologize later if he had to.

Yojo nodded and moved, taking Kansei into his arms and held onto him, surprisingly gently, and looked at Zero. "Yes...I'll be watching Kansei if I am needed...." he said lowly and turned, walking down the hall, looking for one of the other family members or maids to help point him to an empty room to put Kansei in.

Kyoki looked at Zero for a long while in silence before he just closed his eyes and shook his head. "That's just it...I don't want to play...I want you to..." he said lowly and opened his eyes to look at Zero again. He didn't just feel vulnerable, he felt naked and completely open. Like he was a walking target....like he was a frail child.

Jigoku walked down the halls avoiding where Kyoki was only because he knew right now his brother needed his time his space and paused seeing Yojo walking carrying a man he would not know if not for scent. He looked so very different and yet.....the same. "There's a free room down that hall he can rest in." he said having a pretty good idea why Yojo was wandering around the way he was.

Zero looked at him and reached up his fingers brushing along the side of Kyoki's face. "Doesn't matter to me who is playing." he said and the funny thing was it didn't. Zero looked at him and sighed as his fingers moved tracing along the man's cheek bone such an achingly gentle caress as if Kyoki was made out of spun glass and would shatter at any moment. "But not here not in the throne room. I'd rather it be somewhere in private." and he would if only because.......Zero Rei was not known for being a gentle man. And would rather keep it that way. But he could read Kyoki's soul it was practically screaming at him. So a room with a bed somewhere he could ease all of it away from Kyoki Inu.

Yojo just nodded in silence and followed the directions Jigoku had given him and took the sleeping Kansei to the empty room and put him in bed and covered him up, taking gentle care to keep from waking him or hurting him.

Kyoki leaned into the gentle caress and closed his eyes. If only so many could understand how truly easy it was to hurt Kyoki and how amazingly weak he was. This strong man was actually standing on very shaky ground. Not just mentally, but emotionally as well. Any small thing could cause the scale to tip, and now he was left feeling vulnerable and naked- raw inside and hurt.

Memories from his past that he had long sunk to the deep dark depths of his consciousness had resurfaced and were plaguing his every thought and making it impossible for him to become the Kyoki Inu that everyone was used to seeing.

"Right..." he said lowly, in a hushed voice. It had came out surprisingly small for a man with such powerful voice, and loud opinions.

Jigoku watched him walk off and then went on his way.

Zero looked at Kyoki and sighed softly, before stepping forwards slightly and lifted the man one of the few times he would ever get away with picking up Kyoki and walked down the hall his movement gentle and fluid letting Kyoki's head rest against his shoulder. Zero on a good day was rude, harsh with his words and cruel. But those closest to him knew that there was a warmth a gentleness that he just didn't give out to everyone.

Zero walked down the halls carrying Kyoki heading towards the man's room. He would play be gentle with him he would be everything that Kyoki needed him to be. "I have you Kyoki I'm not going anywhere not until your alright with it. Or if there's something that only Death Himself has to handle....but that is slim. " or if something came up at work that he could not ignore. But the likely hood of that happening was slim.

Kyoki didn't argue it, didn't even squirm when he was lifted up into Zero's arms. Instead, he leaned into him and closed his eyes. He wasn't worried about anything, all he wanted was to not feel like this anymore, to push it all back down into the deep dark depths that had long kept his thoughts and fears buried under the man that he had been for so long.

"It doesn't matter...as long as I can forget again..." he replied lowly as he clung to Zero's shirt like a small child and curled up into him so that he could breathe in his calming scent. Just like his older brother...amazingly calming and yet so powerful and scary all at the same time...

Zero looked down at Kyoki as he said just as long as he could forget. Was this why Aoi felt it wasn't a problem to leave the earth like he did? Because he was leaving it in Zero's hands leaving them all those who had come to depend on his brother to him and could he live up to his brother's pressence and reputation?

Zero walked down the halls and into Kyoki's room closing the door behind him before walking over and laying him down on the bed. Here was where things would be so different it would confuse any over the centuries except perhaps Akumu about Zero. He leaned down and sighed softly kissing Kyoki gently on the mouth while his hand came up to run through his hair fingers playing with the soft strands. When he broke the kiss he sighed again softly not because he didn't want to do this but because part of him was worried about hurting Kyoki if he lost control of his strength even a little bit.....in this state it would be soo surprisingly easy to hurt him and Zero knew it.....and yet Kyoki was putting that trust in him. He leaned in and kissed him again while his other hand moved to run along the man's side.

Kyoki sighed into the kiss as he felt the calm slowly start to fade away and give way to welling emotions. Even if he didn't want to, he felt the sting of tears and felt them begin to fall. He couldn't even stop them, had no time to try.

As the tears began to fall, he looked up at Zero through blurry eyes, looking much akin to a small, lost child. He was both thoroughly confused and unamused all at the same time. As he wiped at the tears, he hid his face embarrassed by the fact that he had never before let himself be this vulnerable around Zero before.

Emotion raw emotion tears and what may surprise Kyoki is the way Zero himself reacted to them. A pained worried look entered into his silver amethyst eyes. Kyoki was crying had he hurt him had Kyoki done this expecting that he had to? Zero shifted sitting back a bit. "Kyoki....don't it's...." he said his voice that lovely soft almost feminine voice of his that sounded like his mothers if not for the small hints that made it masculine instead of being a woman's that bit of deepness to it softened out to such a point.

A tone of voice that until now Aoi had been the only one to hear when Zero spoke to him offering any comfort that he could. "Are you alright......Kyoki....." and Zero himself felt like he suddenly wanted to cry......had he hurt him?

Kyoki, after many attempts of drying the tears, finally gave in and looked at Zero. "I'm fine...you didn't do anything..." he assured Zero lowly and sat up and sniffled a little. To be so unable to control his own emotions around this man...it was amazing...and let Kyoki know that Zero was for sure Aoi's little brother.

"Don't worry about it Zero...if it happens again...just leave it alone...don't stop...." he said lowly and finally laid back down on the bed and looked up at Zero with amazingly sad eyes. "Please don't stop until I've forgotten..."

Zero looked at Kyoki and took a deep breath before nodding. Not realizing he was mirroring that sad warm look that Aoi could give someone so very well. How much like him he really was. Zero leaned down reaching out and running his fingers through Kyoki's hair again nodding. "Alright....as you wish." he said and before Kyoki could answer him kissed him on the lips again passionately.

His free hand moving to slide down along Kyoki's side before slipping under his shirt and running along the insanely pale toned skin. Feeling it's smoothness beneath his fingertips as he let his hand glide up. As if committing the very highs and lows of Kyoki's build to memory. His touch so light not so light as to tickle but the weight was enough to stir up feelings of pleasure. Even if they were slow in building.

Kyoki, without a second thought, returned the kiss, bringing his hands up to tangle in Zero's silvery white hair. His body knew what to do, even if his mind was so very far from being dominating and violent. His body knew what a kiss like that meant, knew where it was going and enjoyed the promise it held.

Shivering, Kyoki gasped a little, the air seeming to hardly be taken in at all as he squirmed a little under Zero's touch. It was the first time in a very long time that Kyoki Inu had been vulnerable, and it was showing now. The way he reacted would make one think that he was a shy school girl instead of a giant murderous dog.

Zero took a deep breathe as he broke the kiss and moved to kiss down along his neck. The tender motions even as his other hand moved to slide down joining the first sliding along the smooth skin until the removed the shirt over Kyoki's head normally he would have torn it off but instead he removed it letting his hands glide over Kyoki's stomach and chest up over his head only to once again lay his hands there tracing along strong toned muscles his lips laying gentle kisses over the now exposed skin of neck and chest working his way down to nipples.

Kyoki still held onto those silvery white locks as he squirmed under Zero's touch, gasping at the sensation of Zero's lips landing on a nipple. "Ah..." he breathed lowly. It was such a small sound that it sounded more like a child had made it instead of a grown man.

Even if he wasn't in the mood to be rough, his instinct to hold onto Zero's hair still remained. "Zero...please..." he pleaded lowly, still squirming a little under the gentle touches. He wanted more, wanted Zero to pay his body more attention in any way he would.

Zero looked up at him as he lavished that nipple with attention the fingers in his hair although they weren't tugging to the point of threatening to rip out his hair were a comfort to Zero. He looked down again as his hand slide down and he moved down moving those kisses down to Kyoki's waist line stopping just at the edge of the pants where he lavished him with a bit of attention while working the button and removing them. Zero please......Kyoki Inu didn't beg that was how much Kanseina's life reminded him of his own unsettled him to his core.

Zero shifted and moved down his lips brushing the great dog's need before taking Kyoki into his mouth and lavishing him with attention, using tongue lips and teeth to bring him pleasure without crossing the line of being 'rough'

Kyoki closed his eyes, his head falling back on the pillow and his grip loosening on Zero's hair as he moaned lowly. And, without second thought, let tears once again fall down his face. Kyoki Inu was not a man known for tears. Rather, a man known for violence. To shake Kyoki this bad was both a miracle and sad all at the same time.

Kyoki was strong willed and perhaps a bit thick skulled until now. Shake him to the very core, and the man he's known to be breaks away and he becomes a scared little child who wants nothing more than to forget his pain and suffering. It was why he was always unforgiving, angry, and distrusting. He had been abused to the point that he no longer understood the true meaning of 'family'. All he had known was kill...or be killed.

Zero could scent the tears but Kyoki wanted to forget. Wanted him to take it all away and so he did. He continued as Kyoki had asked of him earlier his head moving as he worked to bring him as much pleasure as he could. His hands moving along the smooth skin of the man before him. IN truth Zero knew nothing could ever take it away he had his own scars deep in his heart that he could not shake nor would he ever. All he could do now was offer Kyoki the release as he wanted it. As he needed it.

Zero shifted increasing his pace still keeping it gentle working to draw out that first release. Not so fast as to take the pleasure away but to build it up to being a mind blowing release.
