~*~*~*~*~

He was bored. That seemed to be happening more and more lately. Almost as an afterthought the Spirit Kitsune glanced at his latest pile of treasures but the glitter didn't hold his attention as it normally would have. His eyes fell unseeing on the stone walls of the vault as his thoughts turned inwards. `What's the point of all this? Here I am, the greatest thief that the Makai has ever known. I, the great Youko Kurama, who is feared throughout the land. Who's name alone strikes fear in the very hearts of every Lord and bandit alike. There is none who can stand against me, not even that foolish Special Defense Force that King Enma is so proud of.' His eyes swept the room again. `So what is it that is missing here? What is it that I'm not seeing? Something is missing here, I just have to figure out what it is.' Irritated, he jumped down off of the ledge he had been sitting on and stalked out of the vault carefully locking the door behind him and nudged the dormant spores with a bit of his ki. Moss covered the door and walls as his eyes watched in satisfaction at his work. Any creature would not live to draw another breath if it happened to get this far into the lair by any chance. The tendrils of the moss lived on flesh, instantly dissolving it into food and absorbing the liquid before the unlucky creature had time to draw a breath to cry out. Satisfied with his work he headed down the hall towards the cavern he used as his bedroom.

A low growl of discontent rumbled in the back of his throat as he flopped down on top of his bed, his head coming to rest on top of his soft down pillows. His tail twitched in agitation as he thought back on the previous nights activities at the local brothel. `The stupid wench should have realized what an honor it was to have been chosen to share my bed.' His sexual prowess was as well known as his thieving activities and he was also known for tipping his partners handsomely at the end of the nights activities. Why she had chosen to attempt to steal one of his necklaces was beyond his understanding but frankly he didn't care. The situation was totally unacceptable, the demoness would never repeat her mistake. Youko had pretended to accept her profuse apologies over the incident, even going so far as to offer her a drink that he had spiked with some of his flesh eating fungus. There was no doubt in his mind that the girl was already dead, eaten alive from the inside out. It would serve as a warning to others who thought to try the same underhanded tactic. Slowly his eyes closed, no answer had been forthcoming to his original question and he was tired of trying to figure it out for the moment. Tonight would be another matter when he intended to explore an area far to the east of the lair. There was a cave there that he hadn't yet explored, rumored to be inhabited by a colony of secretive bat demons who only made their appearances under the deepest blackness of true night. It was also rumored that these demons had a talent for shadow slipping. If that was true, it could be an invaluable skill to have acquired should he ever decide he wanted any help with a particularly difficult heist. Word had reached his ears that there was one particular bat demon who had already taken the thieving life anyway but it seemed no one had ever managed to catch a glimpse of this particular demon much less to catch him in the act. His last waking thought before falling asleep was the rumored bat demons name. `Kuronue'.

Golden eyes snapped open with the coming of dusk and sunlight no longer tried to filter its light around the edges of the corridor walls into his bedroom. Youko stretched and rose from his bed, silently padding his way over to the niche he used as a closet where he pulled out a fresh set of clothing. Considering for a moment, he also grabbed some bath towels. “If these unknown bat demons are going to be so privileged to meet me face to face, I might as well make an impression they won't soon forget.” His words, spoken aloud, bounced off the walls and echoing back at him as if mocking him for his vanity which didn't do anything to improve the mood that he had gone to sleep with the previous night. “Maybe a bath in the hot springs will do me some good.” Ignoring the words that once again echoed back at him, he exited the bedroom. A whispered word and the glow of foxfire lit his way as he walked down the stone floored corridor, deeper into the lair where the springs awaited him.

The hot springs that he had made into his personal bath came into view as he walked through the opening at the end of his hall. Steam rose from the spring and enveloped him, welcoming him into its embrace like a long lost lover. He sighed in delight as he slipped down into the warm water up to his chin, hard muscles relaxing into the delicious warmth that they found themselves in. Soon enough he would be up and traveling to his destination but for now he could afford to enjoy this liquid sensuality that caressed his body. He reached over for some Makai herbs that were always stored close at hand and sprinkled some into the water. The smell of cinnamon rose with the steam tickling his nose as he leaned back, steepling his fingers together under his chin to contemplate what he had heard about the colony of bat demons and the one named Kuronue in particular.

`Kuronue. Interesting name. There is strength in that name, I wonder exactly how much power he actually possesses. Or how good of a thief he really is.' Youko's musings weren't giving him any new insight into the mysterious demon so his thoughts turned to the journey ahead of him. The cave in question was outside of his normal territory, maybe it was time to expand his boundaries, include this new cave into the area he currently called his. That way no other band of bandits would dare to encroach on the cave and he could be sure that the bats didn't form any alliances with another demon that didn't have his stamp of approval. He had already heard about another group of bandits who had somehow come across a very young demon that was already showing a promise of great power and had taken him in. While Youko wasn't about to admit it to anyone else, this turn of events was a concern to him and one that would bear worth watching. If this young demon was as powerful as he had heard Youko would have to take care in any potential dealings he had with him. If it should come to pass that they fought it would likely take all of his knowledge and perhaps a good bit of luck to win.

Deciding that he had better get moving if he had any hope at all of locating these bats tonight he reluctantly climbed out of his bath and toweled dry, giving an involuntary shudder as the soft towel came in contact with his semi erect member sending a wave of pleasure through his body. It wouldn't have taken much to lose himself in the sensations but that wouldn't accomplish what he wanted for this night. With a sigh of regret he put the towel aside and stepped into the clothing that he had laid out on the rocks beside the spring.

Dusk was slowly turning into night as the sun was setting. Youko made his way out of the cave, turning back once he was outside to nudge the vines that grew down the side of the mountain into accelerated growth, effectively covering the entrance to the lair. None would be able to find the cave now, even Youko would find it again by reading his own energy signature. It was a good barrier, the thorns alone on those vines would be enough to detract most would be interlopers. Over an inch in length each, they were clearly capable of ripping flesh from the hide of all but the most armored demons. Satisfied with his work at last he turned and started on his way to find this new cave and get acquainted with it's current inhabitants.

The moon was rising, a new moon by the looks of it. Youko looked up at it for a moment before heading out east. A new moon was a good omen in his mind, the birth of something new and exciting. He could feel it in the air surrounding him, the feeling was one of breathless anticipation as if all the living creatures in the Makai were awaiting an event that would forever change their lives. `Of course, it's probably really only me that's really feeling this way.' He chuckled in wry amusement at the very idea that his feelings and wishes could influence every being in the Makai. `Yeah right Youko, as if that would ever happen but it really is a nice dream after all.' Bathed in the moonlight the trees that he was running through began to take on something of a ghostly image as he ran silently past them. The ethereal sight of them began to play with his senses and he let it, enjoying the experience of just being free to let his imagination have free reign and to wander where it would.

The slight wind ruffled the fur of his ears as he moved, reminding him of how he loved it when the partners he had chosen to bed had played with them. In his mind there was nothing more sensual in foreplay then having your ears rubbed. `Meh, I suppose another trip to the brothel wouldn't be totally out of the question. Assuming I can find a partner who isn't going to trying to rob me blind after I'm so kind as to bless her with my company. Maybe I've been looking at this wrong, a male could be very pleasurable company for that matter too. I think next time I'll try that, surely he could appreciate what I offer.' Once that thought was settled in his mind he let his imagination stretch further, it wasn't hard for him to imagine that the breeze created by his passing were actually fingers that were running across his shoulders and down his back. The scent of the forest became the scent of his imaginary lover, slightly musky and smelling of the earth. It was sheer heaven to the Kitsune and his own natural scent rose in response to his imagination.

“Who is that?” The question was the barest of whispers but it was enough to break Youko's concentration away from his fantasy. His ears swiveled back and forth, instantly on guard for an attack as he tried to locate the source of the sound. No further sound was forthcoming and he was just about to chalk it up to his overactive imagination when another whisper caught his attention. “An unwelcome intruder. We need to let the others know immediately.”

`I know that wasn't my imagination now!' Youko was growing more and more agitated at being unable to locate the source of the whispers that he had heard. He stretched his senses, looking for and reading the energy signatures around him. That he couldn't find a trace of any demons that had been close enough in the area to have whispered the words where he could hear it was troubling. `This just isn't right.' It reminded him of the time in the distant past when he had encountered that dimensional demon. `That was another time when I could hear him without being able to sense him.' A slow smirk fell across his face as the pieces of the puzzle finally fell into place. `So, it's true. The bat demons have mastered the art of shadow slipping. That means I am being announced.'

~*~*~*~*~

Two young bat demons were standing in the center of the main council chamber giving their report. Breathlessly they told of what they had seen, barely able to contain their growing excitement. A Spirit Kitsune was headed in the direction of the cave. Yes he was traveling alone. Yes, he had felt like he was very powerful. No, he had been carrying no visible weapons but they were sure that somehow he was armed just the same. Yes, he had noticed their presence, they had managed to slip away just in time to avoid him getting a fix on their location. Finally they had told all they could remember about the stranger and then stood back, looking slightly crestfallen when they were dismissed and told to resume their lookout posts but to remain well hidden.

Wings fluttered in agitation throughout the chamber as all of the demons digested the information that had been brought to this emergency session. One lone traveling Kitsune wouldn't have been much cause for concern except for the fact that this one was a Spirit Kitsune. They were reputed to have talents far beyond those of ordinary Kitsune, the only ones rumored to be stronger were the Celestial Kitsune. There was no telling what havoc could be wrought with such a stranger suddenly in their midst. Everyone was talking at once, debating what should or should not be done until one lone proud bat demon stood. He was tall, giant black wings sweeping down the length of his back. Long black hair fluttered in the slight breeze created by the movement when he stood and his scythes glittered softly in the caves dim light. His violet eyes narrowed as he chose his words with care.

“There is only one Spirit Kitsune within a weeks flight that I am aware of. A thief of some small repute by the name of Youko Kurama. I shall test this fool who dares to intrude into our territory. If he is a possible ally, he will live. If not he will die. Either way I shall return with an answer.”

Silence descended over the gathering as everyone took in the words that the lone bat demon had spoken. Each realized what this lone demon was offering up. If he failed or something went horribly wrong there was a chance that he would die. With a nod of assent the leader of the group reached inside his tunic and pulled out a clear crystal mounted in silver. With a muttered word he made a shallow slash across his palm, letting the blood drip onto the gem. It was absorbed within a matter of moments and he silently passed it to the next demon. When the gem had gone around the circle, each member adding a drop of their own blood it was returned to the man who had started the process. The crystal was now blood red and glowed with power, the ki of each and every member contained within it. Silently the man handed the stone to the lone standing demon. “Take this and keep it safe Kuronue. With this, you have access to the power of the entire clan whenever you have need of it.” Kuronue nodded his thanks and took the pendant, putting it on the silver necklace he had recently acquired on his latest heist. With a last look around at the gathered demons he disappeared into the shadows as soundlessly as if he had never been there in the first place.

~*~*~*~*~

There was only the faintest whisper of wind, nothing more to alert Youko to the sudden presence of another demon. One minute he wasn't there and the next he was, peering down at the Kitsune from his perch high up in the tree. Moonlight glittered off the gleaming edge of the scythe that the demon held ready in his hand but as yet he had made no move to throw the weapon. “You could have already been dead Youko Kurama if I had so chosen it.” The soft but deadly voice of the bat was melodious, somehow seeming to soothe Youko's nerves from the surprise at seeing him. But the next minute he shook the feeling off as the bat once again disappeared, only to show up again in a tree about 100 yards further off.

`He's trying to lead me somewhere.' Youko somehow wasn't surprised by that development but he wasn't about to walk blindly into some kind of a trap either. “I see that you know who I am Kuronue but do you realize you could also be dead by now if I had wanted it.” He watched the bat demons eyes narrow in irritation that his name was already known but other then that he gave no sign. He simply waited, giving Youko time to decide if he would be coming or not. It was a standoff until Youko got bored, finally deciding that the mystery of where this demon wanted him to go would be worth the fun of the puzzle and fully confident in his ability to defend himself if it came down to it. This game settled into pattern of sorts, Kuronue slowly leading Youko away from the main cave of his clan and towards a deeper cave that the bats reserved for the use of newly mated pairs who wanted some private time together. It wouldn't have been Kuronue's first choice but the deep chambers and the long tunnels would work well for the fun he planned to have with the Kitsune. The fact that he would be able to bring the Kitsune in by the toilet only added to his fun. A smirk was on Kuronue's lips as he moved Youko towards where he wanted him to go.

“Are you afraid of the dark? Or is it the idea of being underground that makes you hesitate?” Kuronue stood inside the entrance of the cave now, watching Youko who was standing and looking at him warily. Underground there would be no living plants that he would be able to make use of, the smell of ammonia that had already reached his sensitive nose made him positive of that. But he wasn't sure that Kuronue knew about his gift with plants or his rose whip either and he didn't want to enlighten him unless it became absolutely necessary. Kuronue noticed the look of disgust on his face and shook his head. “Surely you aren't going to turn out to be a priss are you? The smell might be offensive to you but every home has to have a lavatory after all. This is also the home of normal bats, so you have to expect some scat after all.”

“You bats have a sick sense of humor if you think this is funny.” Youko was grumbling in irritation as he gingerly put one foot after the other on the slick floor, grimacing in distaste as the bottom of his white slippers slowly started to take on a green-grey color. “I swear when this is over Kuronue, you will owe me another pair of shoes.”

“Then grow some wings and learn to fly. You won't have to worry about your pretty shoes if you can do that much.” The mocking voice came from father down the tunnel and around a bend where the light no longer penetrated making it impossible to see where the bat demon was currently located. As if to make his point Youko was suddenly forced to duck as a flying black cloud swarmed past him, high pitched squeals of protest assaulting his ears as the bats headed out of the cave for their nightly feeding activities. His foot slipped out from under him at the sudden movement and he landed heavily on one knee leaving a black streak on his formerly pristine white tunic leg. Carefully levering himself back to his feet Youko stared in the direction that he knew Kuronue had gone. The mocking laughter was still ringing in his ears, making his irritation grow by the moment.

`He's good, I have to give him that. But he's crazy if he thinks this little mess is going to stop me. I'm better then that!' Looking down Youko stared mournfully at his ruined pants leg, then checked to make sure he had nothing on his hands. `There can't be too many spots like this, surely these bats don't just use the toilet wherever they happen to be hanging around.' His ears swiveled in interest as up ahead he heard the sound of several pairs of scrambling feet. Apparently him and Kuronue weren't the only ones in the cave at the moment. From the sound of it, whoever they had surprised was in a hurry to pull on their clothes and vacate the premises. Youko gave a feral grin as the faint scent of sex assaulted his nose. `This might prove to be more interesting then I originally thought.'

A brief flutter of wind ruffled his hair apparently having been made by the flapping of the wings he could hear up ahead of him. Youko took two more steps and found himself standing on a stone floor that was surprisingly free of the goo that he had slipped in. Reaching into his hair he pulled out a seed and nudged it into growth before attaching it to the wall. The little plant would give him some light so he could see better, making sure he wouldn't be slipping in this spot again and also serve as a marker so he would be able to find his way out of the cave once he taught this impudent bat a lesson in proper manners. Moving forward cautiously now he finally came to the spot where it was obvious a mating couple had been interrupted. The smell of sex hung heavily in the air but that was all that remained. All of the bat demons were gone, the cavern was empty.

Youko looked around and attached another plant to the wall of the cavern. Three corridors led off in three different directions. Reading the energy signatures easily he could tell that each of the now absent bats had taken off in different directions. Haunting laughter floated back to his ears from a long distance off. Kuronue's laughter. Reaching his decision Youko turned and started down the corridor that the bat demon had taken but more slowly then he had previously been traveling, finally coming to a stop as his eyes grew wide in awe at the sights that were before him. The cave was in and of itself a treasure to be possessed. The crevassed ceiling soared above his head, the walls narrowing in and finally coming to a stop at the jagged fault line that he could see running down the length of the corridor. Multiple hues of every shade of red, yellow and orange that he could imagine shimmered in the mineral deposits that sat embedded in the stone and hung in a shimmering curtain that had to have taken millions of years to form. Small droplets of water still occasionally dripped from the curtain, a testament that the curtain was still a work in progress.

“Are you coming fox? Or are you thinking you would like a sight seeing tour perhaps? Have I actually become that much less interesting then the sights currently before you?” Kuronue stood still listening for sounds that would tell him that the Kitsune had made up his mind and was on the move again. He couldn't entirely blame Youko, he himself had been in awe of the sights the first time or two that he had seen them but over time he had come to take them for granted. `I guess it's good to be reminded every now and then. But still, come on. It's not like I'm going to wait all night.'

“Has anyone ever told you that you are more then a little pushy? Or that if you ever mean to become a master thief you must have patience?” Youko was annoyed that the bat had interrupted his enjoyment of the sights before him and was trying to bait him into coming back within easy reach. “Come back here and stop running from me if you dare. I'll teach you the meaning of patience and having your enjoyment interrupted.” The words came out as a growl with the undertones of menace coloring them but Kuronue didn't miss the double meaning for what his overactive imagination told him the words could possibly mean either. The words intrigued him and he decided to see just how far he would be able to tantalize the Kitsune who was now moving towards him down the corridor.

Kuronue waited until Youko rounded the bend and caught sight of him before stepping into the shadows and disappeared into the inky blackness. Nothing remained behind as an energy signature, it ended at the wall as if the bat had somehow become a part of the cave itself. Youko growled in frustration, reaching out a hand towards the wall only to draw it back sharply as he received several nasty gashes from some very sharp very pointed baby stalagmites that he had failed to take notice of on the small ledge sitting below where he had been reaching for. Ordinary this wouldn't have been more then an annoyance but the salt from the formations in the wounds made them burn like they were on fire. Somehow Youko suspected that Kuronue had planned on something like this, it had to be his fault that it had happened. He stared at the cave wall a moment longer then attached another of his small light plants to mark his way before moving forward once again, a hunter seeking his prey.

He passed several more side corridors and through a few more caverns as he traveled after the bat, his senses fully alert as he tracked Kuronue's movements by the sounds he was making. Kuronue was making no effort to conceal his location from the Kitsune and was staying just far enough ahead of him to be able to stay out of sight. `Either he takes me to be a fool at tracking or he is far more inexperienced then I have been led to believe. Either way there should be no problem catching up with him.' That thought kept him moving forward past the magnificent natural sculptures that pulled at his senses each time he passed them. `Once I have caught him, I think I shall take over this cave and claim it as my own. It shouldn't be a real problem to evict a few bats.'

The trail narrowed as the corridor became filled with groupings of stalactites and stalagmites formed from the constant dripping water. Youko began to start turning sideways just to be able to squeeze between them, not wanting to have any more experiences getting cut by any of them. He didn't need to worry though, some of them were as large around as a small tree trunk and none of these were sharp. Apparently this was a very old part of the cave, even the air was beginning to have a damp feel and musky smell to it. It was also very dark and almost impossible to see. Youko had the sense that he had to be very far underground, farther then he had ever ventured before. Finally he was forced to a stop as the formations grew so close together that it was impossible to pass by. With a sigh he turned around and started to make his way back to look for another way around to the spot where he could hear Kuronue's soft laughter in the inky blackness beyond.

`There's one of my light plants.' Youko couldn't say he was unhappy to see it, he was already farther underground then he had ever expected to travel. By the feel of the old dormant energy he estimated he had to be at least half a mile underground, possibly farther. As his eyes adjusted to the light he saw another of his plants off in the distance and headed towards it.

`This is my plant but I don't remember putting one here at this spot.” He grew wary and alert for a possible attack even as he noticed yet another of his plants. “Kuronue, if this is your idea of some kind of joke I swear you'll learn what it means to wear your ass as a hat.” There was no answer to that statement, only the soft sound of rushing water far off in the distance and a feeling of amusement that he was positive had to have come from the elusive bat demon.

“Can you hear it Youko? Surely even a Kitsune such as yourself isn't immune to it's effects.” The whisper seemed to travel on the voice of the water but the acoustics of the cave were making it hard to pinpoint the source exactly. Stubbornly Youko crossed his arms across his chest and refused to answer, waiting for the bat to once again make an appearance and determined not to give Kuronue the pleasure of watching him wander the corridors as if he was chasing his own tail like an inexperienced kit. There was a sudden movement in the shadows as a warm breath tickled the fur of his ear but Kuronue was gone again before Youko even had the chance to turn. Once again the voice came from the distance “Can you hear it Youko? Can you feel it feel it and sense it? Does it play with your body and your mind? Come after it Youko if you dare, it's here just waiting for you to claim it.”

The blatant challenge in the whispered words was too much for Youko to ignore. Extending his senses and detecting no presence other then himself and Kuronue he sped down the lighted corridor following the energy signature that told him where Kuronue had recently passed. One way or another he was going to find the bat and answer the challenge that had been so easily and casually tossed down. If Kuronue was looking for a fight he would find one but in a small corner of his mind Youko wondered if there was something more. Something not directly spoken but rather implied in the challenge. `There isn't any way that he can realize the other way his words can be taken is there?' As he ran his nose picked up the definite musky smell of arousal which was overlaid by Kuronue's individual scent. The bat was definitely aroused but whether it was from the chase or sexual remained to be seen.

The light was fading now as his light plants fell far back behind him in the distance. Youko slowed his advance, coming to a stop when the light disappeared entirely, leaving him completely in the dark. Once again he heard the sound of rushing water directly in front of him along with Kuronue's laughter but this time there was a definite sexual flavor to it.

“The darkness definitely does have a music of it's own, does it not? Feel it's splendor Youko, it is a kind and gentle lover.” Kuronue's voice was crooning now, inviting and heady. Youko felt the beginnings of lust heating his member but he wasn't about to walk blindly into a trap that the bat could be weaving. With a quick twist of energy and a flick of his wrist he threw up flair of foxfire and gaped in astonishment at the sight before him. The waterfall in front of him was easily seventy feet above his head where it appeared from a crevasse in the wall. It cascaded down the wall of the cavern in a roaring sheet of water, emptying into a large pool worn into the stone floor by centuries of the pounding water. The polished floor was slick from the spray of the water and Youko had to step carefully in order to not lose his footing as he stalked towards Kuronue.

Kuronue was standing in the pool naked, his long black hair unbound and hanging free down to his waist. Water droplets shivered off of his wings as he languidly waved them back and forth creating small ripples in the pool of water he was currently occupying. The look of appreciation on Youko's face made him smile as he reached up to light the torches on each side of the waterfall, casting warm shadows over the walls. “Will you come to me Youko? Will you let your fantasies unwind and accept what I am willing to offer? If you wish it, it will happen. If not you are free to leave, I will not hinder you.”

“You are the one who challenged me Kuronue. Come after it Youko, if you dare. You do remember saying that don't you?” Youko's face suddenly grew even more wary as a sudden thought occurred to him. “You set this up didn't you! You just wanted to get into my pants!”

“It is true that I chose this cave to bring you to once you trespassed on our lands and came looking for me. But never forget you sought me out first. Why was that I wonder. Was it for my talents as a thief or my talents as a lover? I am well known for both as I'm sure you are aware.” Kuronue looked at Youko with hooded eyes, patiently waiting for him to make up his mind. When he continued to stand there Kuronue playfully flicked his wings, sending a large spray of water over the Kitsune. “Ah, what a shame. Somehow you got wet. I guess that means you might as well come in don't you think? Unless you plan to stand there and shiver of course. But that hardly seems to be your style now does it. And just to answer your earlier comment, I would not be adverse to getting in your pants as you so bluntly put it.”

The slight hint of sarcasm in Kuronue's voice put Youko on just enough of an edge that he let out a small growl “I do not back down from a challenge. If you have heard anything at all about me you should know that much.” The white tunic slid to the stone floor unnoticed as Youko stood staring at Kuronue with a leer on his face as he slowly stroked himself into hardness. “Do you think you can handle me Kuronue? I sincerely doubt you've ever had a lover as skilled as I am but I will not take the unwilling. Now is your only chance to retract your challenge.” In answer to his bold statement Kuronue slowly walked over to where Youko was still watching him intently, waiting to see what the bat would do next.

“Let me do that for you.” Kuronue reached down, covering Youko's hand with his own and removing it from the swollen phallus. Sinking down to his knees he took the bulbous head slowly between his lips and running his long tongue lightly around the edge of the rim. A salty drop of precum formed on the tip of the head and coated his tongue as he swirled it in his mouth. Youko reached down and grabbed Kuronue's head, pushing his hard on farther down the bats throat. It was exhilarating, even the whores back at the tavern hadn't been able to take his full length in. Kuronue hadn't been kidding, he was apparently an experienced lover after all. His testicles began to throb in time to the steady sucking pressure that was being exerted on him and the bobbing of Kuronue's head. Letting out a groan of pleasure his hand tightened in Kuronue's hair trying to control the bats movements and his own impending orgasm.

Kuronue pulled free of the restraining hand and watched as the now free cock bobbed with a life of it's own. “Oh no, you aren't getting off quite that easy my friend. I hope you plan to give as good as you get.” His own cock was rock hard and begging for attention as well, something that didn't escape Youko's attention. A grin crossed the Kitsune's face as he pulled his other hand from his pocket which contained a small seedling. Fingers coated in a slick sap trailed down Kuronue's chest and stomach as the hand made its way closer to his weeping member but to the demon's surprise and dismay it was completely ignored.. Youko earned a yelp of surprise as the bat suddenly found himself impaled with a slender finger invading his body cavity. Apparently Kuronue had never been taken by another male, but had always been seme. Well, he'd learn what it meant to challenge a Kitsune but Youko wanted to be sure it was a pleasurable lesson. He slowly twirled his finger in a circle as he waited, knowing that Kuronue would slowly relax and adjust to the new sensation.

A surprised groan met his ears as his finger slid into the tight warmth of the raven haired demon's body. “Like that do you?” Youko gave a low husky sensuous laugh. Unable to stop himself, Kuronue pressed further back onto those probing fingers enjoying the strange new sensation. He didn't bother to give the kitsune a verbal answer, not one in words anyway. A low moan escaped his lips as a purposeful stroke caused Youko's finger to brush against his sweet spot. He would have orgasmed right then and there had the fox not gripped his erection tightly, stilling any possibility of it happening. "Not yet, the night is still young." Youko's voice was husky as he waited for Kuronue's body to calm. By the end of this night he was certain that the bat would have lost any inhibitions he would have ever thought to possess.

Violet eyes glazed over with pleasure as they sought out his lover's golden eyes which gleamed in the darkness. He shivered violently, not from the chill in the air but from the exquisite caress that Youko was giving him. Sharp nails traced down the length of his long wings, gently, carefully ensuring they did not draw blood. A groan slipped passed his lips as the action was repeated. It was a touch not normally permitted but as the kitsune proved to him just how skilled he was with those fingers he couldn't bring himself to protest. Instead he reached his own fingers up to lightly trace the tips of the ears that were so alluringly close. Feeling the fox shiver behind him he rubbed the sides of them slowly, enjoying the silky feel of silver fur running through his fingertips. He nearly smirked as Youko leaned further into the caress, it would seem he had just discovered the kitsune's weakness. This was further confirmed as he felt the enticing heat of an erection pressed into the small of his back as the fox rubbed against him, groaning in pleasure.

The sound of the waster rushing past their ears combined with the sound of their beating heats and ragged breathing combined into a sort of melody as Youko positioned Kuronue down onto his knees and hands on the stone floor of the cavern. The slippery floor caused Kuronue's knees to slip farther apart then what Youko had originally intended, causing the slick opening now puckering up at him and begging for attention fully accessible to any activities that the fox cared to bestow upon it.

One clawed hand reached down to fondle the heavy sack swinging between Kuronue's legs as the other hand traced slow lazy circles around the inviting hole in front of him. `This is going to be so much fun. I can't remember the last time I came across a virgin. Well, sort of anyway.' He removed the fingers he had been using to draw the circles to press his erection against the tight opening, watching with delight as he saw the clear sticky liquid emerge from his member to coat the opening before him. `Perfect, as tight as he is going to be lubrication is definitely required.' Grasping both cheeks in front of him now and spreading them wide, Youko easily slipped his first finger back inside the bat waiting for him to relax slightly before proceeding any further. When he sensed Kuronue was ready he slipped a second finger in to join the first one. It was a tight fit as he had expected and he began slowly spreading his fingers apart as he worked them in and out of the bat's body. A wicked grin creased his face as he heard the heady groans, telling him that very soon he could plunge into those untouched depts. Adding a third finger and working his fingers in and out faster and faster, he had to reach forward and once again tightly wrap his hand around the bats erection to stop the orgasm he could see was coming. “Oh no, not yet my friend.”

Withdrawing his fingers from the opening Youko once again pressed his swollen member against the now loosened and very moist opening. Fascinated he watched as he gave a slight push causing the head to suddenly disappear into the Kuronue's body with an audible pop. Holding perfectly still he waited as the body adjusted to the new sensation of being tightly stretched to accommodate Youko's girth. With the remaining gel from his pocket he coated his member and slowly slid into the body, delighting in the way the muscles were spasming on his erection and almost causing him to come immediately as well. It was only with a supreme act of self control and deep breathing that he was able to still his body until the sensation passed. Then pulling Kuronue's hips towards him he plunged fully into those warm inviting depths, shivering with pleasure as the tightness caressed his hard member. Over and over again he pulled almost all of the way out of the body, only to shove forward once again burying himself to the hilt.

The waves of pleasure were too much to resist. Kuronue's moans bounced off the cavern walls as his body succumbed to the waves of pleasure tearing through him. His body tensed as his release, so long denied finally came. Thick streams of his salty essence coated his chest at the same time that his body cavity was filled with the warm spewing from Youko's release as well. His knees finally collapsed under him and he ended up flat on his stomach, Youko rolling off to his side to recover his breath as well.

After a time Youko raised his head and looked at Kuronue smiling slightly. The bat had been correct, in this cavern with the sound of the rushing waterfall echoing off the walls one could truly hear and feel the music of the night.
