The Cage

*****

The call came during the middle of the night, shattering the peaceful silence of the two lovers like the alarm clock had done the morning before.

"Damn it…"Toshiya groaned before rolling away from the noise and burying his heard under the pillow.

Die tried to ignore it, hoping he person would get the hint, but after two minutes of constant ringing he finally cracked one eye open and reached over to grab the phone next to the bed.

"What?" He growled.

"Die? It's Yoshiki. You and Toshiya have to get down here APAP."

"Huh? Why?" Die's sleep clogged brain barely registered the urgency in Yoshiki's voice as he squinted through the dark of the bedroom at the glowing red digital numbers on the nightstand.

"Kaoru. He was found trying to slit the throat of some whore he picked up. He is delirious, giving Toshiya the perfect opportunity to see what is going on inside his head during one of his lapses."

"Fine fine, we will be right down." All the previous sleepiness had disappeared as he said good bye to Yoshiki and returned the phone to its cradle. By now curiosity had won the battle with Toshiya's exhaustion and he looked up at Die, silently asking what was up.

Die sighed. "Kaoru. He tried to kill someone else. This time the boy got away and Kaoru is still in one of his lapses. So Yoshiki wants you do go in and see what is not connected in Kaoru's head."

Toshiya squeezed his eyes shut, his body trembling slight with fear. He only shook a little, but enough for Die to pick up on it. "Toshiya?"

"I'm fine," Toshiya mumbled as he threw back the covers and headed towards the bathroom for a quick shower to wash away the smell and stickiness from the night before.

Die winced as he saw Toshiya's slight limp. Perhaps he had been a tad to rough last night, but it wasn't as if Toshiya had told him to stop or anything...He bit his lip when he heard the water being turned on and the sliding shut of the shower door. He wanted to know why Kaoru affected Toshiya so much. Usually Toshiya would tell Die anything and everything that bothered him…but that had all changed to much in one day…Die couldn't stop the jealousy that flashed through him as he thought of Kaoru.

Yoshiki was waiting outside the building when Die and Toshiya arrived. He gave a quick smile for a greeting before updating them on the situation. He led them to one of the interrogation rooms were Kaoru's latest victim was. Die was surprised to find that the boy looked a lot like his lover; Toshiya wasn't.

He regarded the boy with a mixture of mute fascination and pity. The boy was attacked because of Toshiya, and Toshiya felt guilty, even though he knew that it really wasn't his fault.

"So you're Toshiya, huh?" The sound of the boy's voice startled Toshiya out of his thoughts. "He told me about you," The boy continued on as if it was no big deal. "He told me all about you. Ha, and after enough time he even began to call me Toshiya. But…I guess I wasn't enough like you for him to pretend that it was actually you that he was fucking."

Die narrowed his eyes. Was that what was bothering Toshiya? He knew what Kaoru was thinking about him? Toshiya had mentioned something about knowing him after the first time he went it…And from what it sounded like, it was more than just knowing each other…

"What?" Toshiya couldn't quite believe what he was hearing. He knew it was true since he had been in Kaoru's mind and saw it. But still…it was still shocking to hear it said out loud. He took a quick glance at Die and wasn't to surprised to see his boyfriend upset looking.

Yoshiki gently laid a hand on Toshiya's shoulder. "Toshiya? Kaoru is almost ready…if you still want to do this…"

Toshiya turned without a word and followed Yoshiki out of the room, leaving Die to trail behind with only his mixed thoughts for company.

Kaoru was still struggling with the guards and doctors as they tried to get him into the chair when Yoshiki and Toshiya entered the room. He stopped fighting a bit and a smile lit up his face when he saw Toshiya, but the mood was instantly broken when Die stepped into the room behind Toshiya and Kaoru noticed Toshiya's slight limp.

"You don't deserve him!" Kaoru growled as he lunged at Die, the guards barely able to hold him back. "He deserves better than you!"

"Like you? A murderer?" Die asked coldly as he crossed his arms and stepped in between Toshiya and Kaoru. "What can you offer him? Your blood stained hands? The fear that one day it might be him with his throat cut open and dead?"

Kaoru froze, pure rage fill his already anger-distorted face. "I love him more that you ever could! I would never harm him! I gave him up to protect him! That is something you could never do!"

One of the doctors used the distraction to grab Kaoru's arm and inject a sedative. It didn't take long before he was out and hooked up to the chair, fighting till the very end.

Die watched the whole scene with indifference. He turned to face his lover and his expression softened. "Toshiya?"

Toshiya's face was drained of all color and his eyes never left Kaoru's limp form. "I'm fine." He straightened his back and brushed past Die as he sat in his chair, a sign for the other doctors to hook him up.

Die took one last look at his shaken boyfriend and followed the guards out of the room, appearing a minute later behind the glass window.

Slumping down in he chair he waited until the doctors gave him the signal that everything was ready. Die sighed and reached forward, hesitating a moment before hitting the red button, sending Toshiya back into Kaoru's mind. A place where Die didn't want him to be anymore.

There were no flash backs to their childhood. This time, Kaoru was waiting for him. The two men just stared at each other for a long while, doing nothing else but watching every slight movement the other made. Kaoru was the first to break the silence.

"I want to show you something." He held out his hand, meaning for Toshiya to take it. Toshiya nodded and shyly slipped his hand into Kaoru's. He had no reason to refuse, he was here to help Kaoru, and denying Kaoru that simple request would do nothing for him. Kaoru smiled and nodded back, his fingers threading through Toshiya's, and clutched his hand tightly.

Toshiya gave a Kaoru a nervous smile, but found the longer he spent just looking at the older man, the more the nervousness disappeared and was replaced with…something else. A feeling of warmth…of security.

Kaoru turned them around and pointed to a ring of trees that hadn't been there a moment before. "Over there."

Toshiya allowed himself to be pulled by Kaoru to the trees. When they reached them, Kaoru turned and gave Toshiya one more smile before ducking his heard and slipping under the low hanging branches, pulling Toshiya with him.

Toshiya gasped when they reached the other side. Kaoru allowed his hand to be dropped as Toshiya walked forwards and looked around in awe, his mouth open in wonder and his eyes filled with amazement.

He was standing in front of a lake that had a small field on the other side, a small vine covered arbor trellis to his right, and to his left was a small brook that flowed like a small waterfall into the lake. It was simply beautiful.

Toshiya closed his eyes as he took a deep breath. The fragrance of the flowers that practically covered the area overwhelmed his senses.

He turned around to look at Kaoru, a smile on his face. "This place…it is beautiful!"

Kaoru nodded and smiled back as he moved to stand next to Toshiya. "I know. This is where I brought you for our first time."

The smiled faded off Toshiya's face. First time? As in…

Kaoru leaned over and gently placed his lips on Toshiya's cheek. He kept them there for a minute before pulling away to see Toshiya's reaction. The other man was staring straight ahead, eyes blinking every once and awhile. Kaoru smiled, Toshiya could be so cute sometimes.

Toshiya turned to look at Kaoru, his face unreadable. "Kaoru…"

Kaoru got a little bolder and this time kissed Toshiya on the lips. Toshiya tried to pull away, but Kaoru's arms slipped around him, not allowing him to move. Toshiya finally stopped moving, and to his horror, he found himself actually returning the kiss a bit.

Kaoru smiled again. This time the smile wasn't intimidating, nor was it hiding something. It was a genuine smile of enjoyment.

Toshiya found himself smiling back, and not resisting when Kaoru led him to arbor trellis. Kaoru urged him to lie down, and Toshiya did so, his eyes never leaving Kaoru's face. The grass and flowers under him felt like a cushy blanket, and Toshiya grinned. This place was truly amazing.

Kaoru lay down next to Toshiya, propping his head up on his hand so he could look down at Toshiya.

Toshiya looked like a child who just entered the biggest toy store he had ever been in. Kaoru was pleased that Toshiya enjoyed the place so much. Smiling down at him, he brushed a lock of hair that falling out of place away from Toshiya face, and leaned down to kiss the younger man again. Once again, Toshiya responded, but just barely.

Although this felt right, the thought of Die remained deeply engraved in his heart and mind. He couldn't to this to Die. He knew what Kaoru meant to do, by bringing him here and putting them in this position. He didn't kiss Toshiya for no reason. Guilt plagued Toshiya as Kaoru kissed him again, this time his tongue slipping into Toshiya mouth, marveling at the sweet taste.

Toshiya let out a soft moan when Kaoru's fingers slipped up under his shirt and lightly ran across his stomach. Kaoru pulled away and lay down again next to Toshiya. He continued running his fingers back and forth across Toshiya stomach, going a bit higher in each pass. Toshiya's eyes fluttered shut as he was assaulted with the teasing pleasure.

Eventually he made it up to the younger man's nipples. He brushed over then with feather light touches, making them harder each time, and earning a small moan and a whimper when ever his warm fingers touched the sensitive nubs of flesh.

He stopped when they reached a satisfactory hardness. Kaoru pulled Toshiya close to him and just lay there. Toshiya eyes snapped open. He stopped? Why did Kaoru stop? Simple as the actions were, they had an amazing effect, as they aroused Toshiya quite a bit.

"Kaoru…" Toshiya whimpered and clutched at Kaoru, slightly rubbing his lower regions against Kaoru, trying to alert the older man to his current situation.

Kaoru smiled at Toshiya. "Huh?"

"Why did you stop….?"

Kaoru smiled and pressed his lips to Toshiya's forehead. "Because. I want you to want this. I don't want to force myself on you."

Toshiya whimpered and kissed Kaoru with a passion that conveyed all his feelings. The hormones and lust that coursed through his body overtaking his better judgement, and burying the thoughts of Die.

Kaoru rolled so that Toshiya was pinned to the ground under him. Things had gone exactly as planned, and he didn't have to worry about scaring Toshiya off.

Kaoru kissed his way from Toshiya's lips down to his throat, where he proceeded to nib and lick gently, delighting at the gasps he received. He stopped when he reached the collar of Toshiya's shirt, and frowned at the material that was blocking him from the bare skin of Toshiya's chest.

He lifted Toshiya upper body and with a swift pull removed the shirt and tossed it over his shoulder before laying Toshiya down again. The grass ticked Toshiya's bare back, but he didn't mind.

Kaoru lowered his head to the exposed skin and took one of the nipples in his mouth, sucking gently. Toshiya moaned and arched up against Kaoru's mouth. In response, Kaoru swirled his tongue around the hard nub before pulling away and moving to the other where he repeated the process.

He did that until he got bored and decided to move lower. His tongue traced a wet trail down Toshiya's chest to his navel, where Kaoru dipped his tongue in, cause Toshiya to shiver. Kaoru smirked and continued to move lower until he reached the pants.

He ran his hand over the cloth-covered bugle, causing Toshiya to buck his hips up, trying to get more of the touch. Kaoru straddled Toshiya and brought his head up so he could kiss the younger mans lips. He slipped his hand in between their bodies and slowly pulled down the zipper of the pants. He proceeded to remove both the pants and boxers underneath before detaching his lips from Toshiya's. Kaoru stroked the inside of Toshiya's smooth thigh, but careful to never touch the are in the middle.

Kaoru looked down at the man below him, and was stunned. Here was this beautiful man below him, naked, and with his eyes squeezed shut and his hands clenched at his side. His lips were parted slightly as he panted, and his hair was spread out in a halo around his head.

"Beautiful…" Kaoru whispered, as he gazed in wonder at his beautiful angel.

Toshiya's eyes slowly opened and he stared up at Kaoru. "What?" he whispered back.

"Beautiful. You are simply the most beautiful thing I have ever seen…" Kaoru replied, a little louder this time.

Toshiya gave a weak smile and Kaoru couldn't resist kissing those tempting lips again. He smiled again at Toshiya when they separated, than moved back down Toshiya's body, so his face was only inches away from Toshiya's erection. Toshiya cried out and arched his back when Kaoru's hot mouth enclosed around the most sensitive part of his body.

"Mmmmm…Kaoru!" Toshiya moaned as Kaoru sucked on his length, swirling his tongue around the head and nipping gently every so often.

Toshiya's hands shot down to tangle in Kaoru's hair and hold his head in place as Toshiya thrust up into his mouth. "Harder…please?" Toshiya moaned as he arched back even farther, trying to get more of the sweet torture. Kaoru complied, wanting to make Toshiya feel ten times as better as that fool Die ever could.

Kaoru could tell Toshiya was close. And, sure enough, a few seconds later Toshiya came, crying out Kaoru's name, his seed flowing down Kaoru's throat. Kaoru made sure he swallowed every drop.

He crawled back up Toshiya body, and lay down next to the panting man again. He kissed all over Toshiya's face as the younger man's head spun with the pleasure of release. Slowly the haze around Toshiya's brain cleared and he reached his arms up around Kaoru's neck, pulling the older man man's lips roughly to his.

"Kaoru…what about you?" Toshiya asked breathlessly.

"I don't know. What about me?"

Toshiya smirked. "Fine then. If you want to play that way, we will." Toshiya slipped out from under Kaoru and pushed the older man so he was lying on his back. Toshiya sat on Kaoru's leg and slowly began to unbutton the other man's shirt, kissing the expose flesh as he went. Soon the shit was tossed near Toshiya's and the younger man moved on to remove the pants and boxers. Soon Kaoru was lying naked underneath him.

Toshiya lowered his head, and just as he was going to take Kaoru's throbbing member into his mouth, Kaoru grabbed Toshiya's head, pulling it away from his nether regions.

"No, Toshiya," he breathed, "Not today. Today is for you."

Kaoru flipped them over, so he was once again on top. Toshiya smirked up at him. "My, you are awfully confident. What makes you so sure that there will be a next time, huh?"

Kaoru just grinned. He placed a hand on each of Toshiya's thighs and gently pulled them apart. Toshiya's breathing sped up, he knew what was coming.

Kaoru kissed Toshiya's check as he began to gently push himself inside the younger man. They both moaned when Kaoru was completely inside him. He began to thrust slowly. Toshiya wrapped his legs around Kaoru's waist as he moaned out Kaoru's name.

Kaoru tried to be gentle and go slow, so Toshiya wouldn't be hurt, even thought he knew Toshiya did this a lot…with Die. Kaoru gritted his teeth. It always went back to him. Kaoru thrust harder with growing anger into Toshiya's willing body.

Toshiya cried out, again and again, and Kaoru continued his violent thrusts, but what Kaoru mistook as cries of pain were actually cries of pleasure. Kaoru slowed down and kissed Toshiya closed eyes. "I'm sorry Totchi."

"No…no…it is alright…harder…please?" Toshiya squeezed his legs tighter around Kaoru's body, trying to get the man even closer.

Moaning with desire Kaoru once again sped up his actions. It wasn't long before Toshiya came again, screaming out Kaoru's name. Kaoru followed just seconds after.

Kaoru collapsed panting next to Toshiya, his stomach covered in Toshiya's sticky release. He wrapped his arms around the younger man and pulled him close. They just laid there, a tangle of arms and legs as their rapid heartbeats slowed and their breathing returned to normal.

"Aishiteru, my Totchi chan… aishiteru" Kaoru whispered into Toshiya's ear.

Toshiya turned so he was facing Kaoru. "Kaoru…" Toshiya had a dazed look on his face. He cocked his head to the side, the dazed look being replaced by a smile. "Me too Kaoru…me too. Aishiteru."

Kaoru smiled and captured Toshiya lips in a gentle yet passionate kiss. Toshiya was once again his.

The sudden beeping of the control panel caused Die to frown. He lowered the magazine he was reading, the cracker he was eating still hung from his mouth as he leaned forward to inspect the computer. His eyes widened in shock when he saw the red light flashing on the monitor that registered Toshiya' brain waves.

"Shit!" He cursed and hit the intercom. "All authorized personal please repot to the Cage ASAP, we have a code red #1 in effect."

Die slowly raises his head to stare through the glass window at Toshiya, who was now lost in Kaoru's mind.
