Chapter 5 - Night Moves

Turns out 'that' was exactly the reason Ritsuka and Soubi had accepted the invitation to the annual weekend Fighter Unit training at the School of the Seven Moons. To show them all (especially Ritsu-Sensei) that Soubi was in fact Ritsuka's true Fighter and that they were a truly bonded pair. They passed all the tests as easily as any of the long term bonded pairs training that weekend. Sunday night they returned home, Ritsuka once again refusing to enter the school as one of the regular students.

Youji, Natsuo Midori and Ai and a few others saw them off with promises to keep in touch and Youji and Natsuo promised to visit during the next school break. Heading back to Youji's room they spotted Nagisa-Sensei leading Ritsu-Sensei thru the halls, Ritsu-Sensei was not in the best of moods since it became apparent that Soubi was Ritsuka's true Fighter. The smarter students took to avoiding him at all costs, the Zero pair were no dummies and took off down another hallway, for all they knew it might be decades before Ritsu-Sensei regained his normal sarcastic but calm demeanor. So they headed to Natsuo's room for a change, Nagisa-Sensei seemed to have forgotten Natsuo even existed, she came by Youji's room on occasion but the two wondered if she even knew or cared where Natsuo's was.

Youji followed Natsuo into his room closing the door behind him little expecting what happened next. Natsuo turned and grabbing Youji by the shoulders backing him up to the now closed door, his one eye intense as he looked at his Sacrifice.

"Wha… hey, why are… Hmmmph."

Natsuo shut the ever talkative Youji up in the most effective way possible, he kissed him. Youji was startled at first by the sudden aggressiveness of his Fighter, but he relaxed into kiss almost immediately. Just as he was starting to get really into it, Natsuo broke off the kiss and held him at arm's length, his eye cold.

"What did I tell you about keeping secrets?" Youji began to hyperventilate at those words and at the look in Natsuo's eye. His body began to tremble in a combination of fear and anticipation. With a quick move Natsuo grabbed the waist band of the sweats Youji was wearing and lowered them enough to expose his right hip, Youji gasped as his secret was revealed, the 'Zero' mark had faded so much it was almost non-existent now, the weekend of training and mock battles had hastened the process.

"Na-Natsuo, I-I.."

"I, nothing you kept this from me. ME, your partner. Seems I'm going to have to teach you a lesson about keeping secrets and about who's the boss around here. Strip, NOW!"

Youji still shaking did as he was told, when he was naked, Natsuo sat on the bed and instructed Youji to place himself over his lap, just as he had when Natsuo had rubbed the salve into his ass after that first day and then again once or twice afterwards for some light disciplining. But today was going to be no easy spanking, as Youji had undressed Natsuo had taken out a few items from one of his dresser drawers and placed them on the bed next to him. Youji didn't get a chance to see what Natsuo had put there before he was up ended over Natsuo's lap. Again as he had the first time he'd been in this particular position he felt vulnerable and exposed before his partner. His breath hitched as he felt Natsuo's hand caress his bottom.

"Youji, I'm very disappointed in you, I had other ideas for tonight that did not include busting your butt. But is seems you need a very firm hand indeed." At the words 'firm hand' Natsuo raised his hand and delivered a hard sharp firm smack to his Sacrifices white ass leaving a perfect pink hand print in its place. While Ritsuka and Soubi had been at the school, Youji and Natsuo hadn't had a chance to play their little games so it had been several days since Youji had felt Natsuo's hands on him in any way shape or form. This wasn't exactly how he'd thought tonight was going to go either. Smack, smack, smack Natsuo spanked the cheeks of his Fighters ass, slowly warming them to a pink tinge. Youji was really feeling the sting of the spanks now and had started to squirm in Natsuo's lap.

"Stop moving and put your hands back on the floor." Youji did as he was told he had tried to block a couple of the sharp spanks with his arm. Natsuo had told him this was a no-no and could increase his punishment. He was surprised when instead of the expected smack Natsuo's hand started rubbing his ass again. The feeling was incredible, but it was nothing compared to what was coming.

Na-natsuo, wha-what are you doing?"

"Like it?" Natsuo squeezed his rump before he slipped his hand between his Sacrifices legs and trailed his fingers up his inner thigh until he reached the junction of his legs.

(GASP) Youji's breathing became ragged, he was finding it hard to speak, and the erection against Natsuo's leg told him just how much his Sacrifice was enjoying this new play. Reaching to his side he grabbed a paddle Soubi had suggested would do a good job for the next step. He then began to paddle his Sacrifices already pink ass, turning it a darker red with each smack. Youji hadn't been expecting to be paddled, so the first smack had startled him, then as the paddle descended again and again his ass began to really burn, tears escaped from his eyes and he started yelling as Natsuo paddled his already warm behind. He started to struggle a little but Natsuo grabbed and pinned his free arm behind his back, and continued his assault on Youji's rump. When it was a hot bright red, he stopped and placed the paddle back on the bed, he started caressing the hot flesh before him. Youji tears in his eyes, found the feeling unexplainable, painful but wonderful all at the same time.

This time when Natsuo put his hand between Youji's now limp legs he cupped his Sacrifices balls playing with them making the erection against his leg bounce, he traced a finger up the crack of Youji's ass to the sweet red bud of his entrance, circling it with the tip of his finger he gauged how Youji was reacting to this new development. His Sacrifice was panting hard now, tears still glistened on his lashes from the paddling he gripped the bed.

"Youji, how do you feel?"

"Fe-fe-feel? Huh?" Youji's mind was scrambled he couldn't think he was all sensations and feelings right now. Natsuo smiled his Sacrifice was reacting very well, Soubi had told Natsuo what to look for if it seemed Youji was having a hard time putting two words together. Which looked to be the case here, in fact being unable to complete a sentence was actually a good sign.

"Youji, I plan to take your ears tonight, it's a good thing I talked to Soubi first or this might have gone really badly. I know now that I have to prepare you. Youji? Are you listening?" Panting Youji tried to form words all that came out was.

"Y-Yes, ears, gone, good." Okay it seemed he'd gotten the jist of it, picking up the bottle of lube he'd also placed by his side he started to massaged it into Youji's entrance, taking a single finger he slowly inserted it up to the first knuckle. Damn he was tight, how on earth was this supposed to work? He slowly withdrew the finger and put it back in again working the lube into the tight entrance. Youji's mind was blank all he could do right now was feel.

Na-Na-Natsuo, Oh god, YES.

Natsuo had finally gotten his whole finger working in and out of Youji, he was starting to loosen up, ah so that's what Soubi had been talking about, as Youji became accustomed to it he adjusted to accommodate what Natsuo was doing. It was time to move around a bit and have a little fun for himself, he pushed his Sacrifice over on to the bed. Standing up Natsuo undressed his own hard-on had been bursting at the seams it felt so good to have it freed, he joined his Sacrifice on the bed lowering himself onto Youji, he captured his lips in a long and passionate kiss, pressing himself again Youji's burgeoning erection. He licked Youji's lower lip for entrance into the sweet warm mouth he had come to know so well in the last month, Youji opened up and Natsuo's tongue dove in and took control. Hands roved over sides, hips, nipples and their hard-on's. Lips and tongues followed hands as the two explored each other fully in ways they had never thought of before.

Natsuo was working on Youji's near to bursting penis, his hot mouth making his Sacrifice moan and groan. Reaching blindly his hand found the bottle of lube, he squeezed some more into his hand and pushing Youji's slender legs up towards his ears, Natsuo rubbed some of the lube on himself and then started rubbing the lube into Youji's entrance again, this time inserting two fingers slowly moving them in and out until Youji relaxed even more. Once Natsuo thought Youji was ready he placed the head of his penis at Youji's entrance and started to push his way slowly in. Youji was panting hard, his breathing ragged as Natsuo pressed himself into his Sacrifice.

"Youji? Are you okay? Soubi said it might hurt you some, especially this first time." Youji had his eyes closed taking what his Fighter was doing to him.

"Y-yes a little, it's feels strange, b-but I want to move, is that right?" Natsuo soothed his Sacrifice, withdrawing slowly. Damn, this felt totally, well just, Wow! Natsuo had no words. Hell until a few months ago he hadn't even been able to feel anything and now… he was being swamped by sensations he could have never dreamed of.

"Yes, my beautiful one, we're supposed to move, and it will get better as we move, relax my Love." And Youji pushed back in, burying himself to the hilt. Youji's gasped as Natsuo hit something inside, something wonderful.

"More, Na-Natsuo, p-please more." And Natsuo started to move in and out, his Sacrifice tight around him, hitting again and again that wonderful sweet spot. It was a hot sticky messy and wonderful business this Making Love, and as the pressure built up inside of them, they called out each other's names as they came together. Natsuo captured Youji's Lips in a tender kiss once he could think again, and gathered him into his arms as they fell asleep. The soft ears on their heads and the tails that rode just over their backsides had fallen to the bed as they reached completion.

The magic of that special night worked its final miracle as they dreamed, wrapped in each other's arms.

Youji awoke first, he was sore in a whole new way. It felt pretty good actually, he felt as if he had been filled and completed all at the same time, and he smiled at the memory. He was an adult now, both he and Natsuo were now adults, and Nagisa could no longer fully control their lives as she had when they'd been considered children. Looking at his Fighter he marveled once again how strong and handsome he'd become, his eyes roved possessively over the muscled frame, only to pause on his right hip which was exposed. Natsuo's 'Zero' mark was gone.

"Natsuo, Wake up!"

"Huh? Youji, what is it?"

"Look, here and also at yourself." Youji threw off the blanket covering the two of them and sitting up showed Natsuo his hip, his fading Zero mark was now completely gone as well. But Natsuo thought he saw something as Youji had turned over. Looking down at himself he saw that Yes, his Zero mark was definitely gone, sitting up he looked over at his left hip where the dark birthmark they both had used to be. Smiling he pulled his frantic Sacrifice from the bed and led him over to the mirror on his wall.

"Yes, Youji it seems we are no longer 'Zero'. But look, look at our birthmarks." Youji looked at the mirror as the two teens stood with their left hips toward it and there the mirror showed that something was now written on their left hips, in the same place they had once had dark birthmarks. Youji turned around and faced his Fighter and kneeling he read the word that was now emblazoned onto his skin. Standing up his eyes filled with wonder and joy.

They were no longer 'Zero' in fact they were 'More than Zero.'

They were 'Timeless'

Epilogue:

Youji had cried for nearly a half an hour he was so happy, Natsuo didn't know somebody could cry because he was happy before this. While Youji blubbered he'd called Soubi and Ritsuka and told them what had happened, Ritsuka had started crying too, really what was up with these guys, geez. Soubi advised them to go to 7 first and tell her what had happened and show her the names. Then let her deal with telling Ritsu and more Importantly Nagisa. Now with their own true Names they were no longer 'Zero' so they no longer had to answer to Nagisa, even better Ritsu actually came out of his funk at hearing Nagisa's Zero project was a complete failure.

Seems no matter how hard you tried, you couldn't suppress Love and in the end it was Love that had freed both Zero pairs.
