The Choices We Make

[Kriss]

It had all started with a simple argument between his sister and himself. They didn't fight a lot any more, but when they did....Well, It got pretty bad. Sighing, the male brought the cup to his lips again, swallowing the beverage, remembering the fight that had ensued.

"Your such an asshole, you know that~?" The female growled, hair flaring red, eyes dancing several different colors. Ryoku growled back, his stance becoming defensive.

"Really~? Least IM not a temperamental bitch like you~!" Watching her freeze for a second, he smirked, expecting her to walk away, angry and upset, like she always did. However, Ryoku did not expect her to lash out the way she did.

"Me~? Look at you~! Im not the one who longs to be with his mate, but is to god damned stupid to go and find him~! Im not the one who just sits back and watches his mate have a kid with another wolf, while you just sit there on your ass all day sulking~! Get a grip, you idiot~!" With this, she stormed off, leaving a very angry, upset and confused Ryoku behind.

Now that he looked back at the whole situation, she was right. Everything she had said. Hiccuping slightly, he slammed his cup onto the counter. "Another" Sake was poured into his cup, and in a moment, he had drained it.

He rarely drunk, but when he did, he tended to go overboard, and that wasn't a good thing for him. It wasn't the fact he had fought with his sister, after not seeing her for so long, but the fact that what she had said was right. Every last word she had yelled at him was true, and the thought made him very upset.

"im the one who pines for his mate, and just sits back while he sleeps with other men," he said to no one in particular. The pub was almost empty, and he assumed most of the men there wouldn't care to enjoy watching a half demon drown his sorrows like this.

"I mean...I've been loyal to him~! And...and for...for what~?" his voice was slurred, and he sighed, downing another cup.

Rain came down, the drops of water hitting his body all over, then sinking in the soft silky fabric of his clothing and rolling down the skin of his face, caressing his body like no being could, a chill following it's way down the line of moisture, soaking him as he walked towards the distant light. Sakichi did not mind rain, it was a blissful moment that he could walk through it without worrying about someone following him, or having to do his job. Though he was supposed to be 'working' now, the male had no Boss, therefore, could not be fired or told off, unless it was by his wife or daughter, neither of whom really liked his 'job' anyway. Speaking of the two, Sakichi shuddered at the words of them both, his incest crazed daughter and psychopathic wife. At least they had Orion to pamper now, his new son, made specifically by him to take over this godly position when Sakichi grew tired of getting hounded by various people, day in and day out.

The male flicked long red hair from his face, the crimson strings heavy with rainwater and sticking to his face and neck slightly. The male's red eyes flashed softly and he cocked it to the side, hand reaching out to take the cow hide and brush it aside, stepping into the small road-side pub. He hadn't been walking in this direction, in the pouring rain, for no reason - after all. He wanted a bed, some ale or sake, and maybe someone to play with. Though, it would not be work this time. It would be purely for his own satisfaction, as real, down to Earth, touching, feeling, and fucking was something he had not experienced in a while.

Upon Sakichi's entrance, his red eyes swept over the pub and it's customers, those filling the benches and sitting at the bar, as well as the few tables that littered. All together there were probably eight people, counting the bartender, who eyed him warily. Sakichi gave a kind smile and moved in, tying his hair up in a fluid movement and continuing to look around. He over heard Ryoku talking and grinned. Oh, he knew this person. Ryoku, half demon - wolf, had a sister named Meon, who was like him, but had an odd colour changing oddity about her. Mate to Inu Sasha, a rape victim, as well as the Lord Almighty of Hell, not that he seemed nor acted like it. Sakichi moved a crossed the pub and sat beside Ryoku at the bar, two slim fingers rising as he requested some rice wine. It was not as strong as sake, but one of the very few things he could drink on Earth without being utterly sick, apart from apples. How he adored those..

Sakichi leaned forward, turning his head to look at Ryoku. "Having a tough night, my friend?

The sex god gave off waves of a seemingly actually caring nature, eyes blinking softly at him, red eyes not as harsh as they could be, no, Sakichi looked quite soft sitting there, not like a drunk or someone who ran into sex at every turn, or someone who liked sadists and rapists, or who peeked into dreams and events of sex and spread about various sexual fantasies. No, he looked quite feminine, which might have been quite bad for him at the moment, but at least he would not remind the other of his mate visually. Sakichi let one of his arms wrap around himself, the other settled on the table infront of him, the elbow softly nestled on the hard wood, hand stretched out to the male. "I'm Sakichi, who might you be?" Of course, Sakichi already knew that Ryoku was Ryoku, but even in the drunken state, Sakichi did not want to frighten the other, or make him suspicious.

It had happened before, people started by his knowing their name before they'd introduced themselves. Though the ending was sometimes funny, Sakichi wanted more than a humorous moment tonight, but he had to wait, and make chatter, banter about things, and see if the other would be wiling, or if he could coax him into a night of sex - which would be quite easy, if the other leaned that way, and was easily swayed.

[Kriss]

He was lost in his own thoughts, his pink tounge flicking accross his dry lips. He didn't see the other sit next to him, nor did he aknowledge his presence, at first. turning as the male spoke to him, Ryoku gave him a half smile. "A tough night dosen't even begin to describe it," he muttered, voice still slurred. Taking another draught from his cup, the male smiled again. "I am Ryoku," he said, grasping the others hand in a firm handshake.

He sighed slightly, and glances at the male from the corner of his eye. He reminded him of Inu Sasha somewhat, though it was only because the other was slightly feminine. "What brings you here, Sakichi, hm," he asked, cocking his head to the side as he looked at the other, a slight grin playing his face. Oh, he was quite gald for this company. Drinking alone was never quite as fun.

[xLULLABii]

As Ryoku replied and shook his hand, Sakichi smiled a bit more, lowering his eyes softly to rake a crossed the other's form, Sakichi eyed him intently, even more so than he had a few moments ago. Sakichi looked at Ryoku's hand, which he still had clasped tightly in his. He let his grip slacken and turned over the male's hand, looking at his palm. "Have you ever had your palm read before, Ryoku-san?" He supposed the other might have, but it was something interesting to do, and if the other hadn't, he could simply say that they needed a secluded room, and would therefore rent a room above them, and then get more active in.. other things than just palm reading. There were much more activities ones hands could partake in than just being read or fondled.

So much more.

Sakichi smiled and let go of his hand, lightly placing it on the bartop as he reached to his glass of alcohol, sipping at it slightly. The sting that hit his mouth was something that he couldn't put into words. It burned as it went down his throat and made his stomach knot, before it relaxed. Sakichi then drank the glass down until it was half empty, turning his head to the side to watch Ryoku once more. He took the male's hand and stuck up two fingers at the bartender again. "A room, pitcher of sake, and some cups, if you will?" The bartender huffed and nodded, moving around to get the requested items. Saikchi smirked and paid, before tugging Ryoku from his seat and moving a crossed the room and up a set of stairs, as if he'd been here and done this before. But he hadn't, he had seen this place in dreams and fleeting images, however.

Sakichi walked up the stairs and down a short hallway, pushing open a door. It revealed a desk to the side, a bed, and a trunk at the end of it. Sakichi looked back and flashed a grin at Ryoku, dragging him to the bed. He sat down and pulled the other around it, sitting criss-cross and pulling the other down before him. Sakichi pulled the other's free hand to him, rubbing them between his before he turned the palms to face him. He watched them intently. Sakichi easily identified the four major lines in the other's hand than grinned, reading them over. His face fell slightly as he read the palm of his left hand. "Let's look at your Heart Line first, okay? It represents your love life, and the things happening in it." Sakichi showed him which line he was talking about, running his finger along the line that ran from near the middle of his palm to the side, looking up at the other's multicolored eyes.

"Well, here is a small circle, representing depression in your love life. I suppose something is troubling you with your mate? Lets look at where it starts. Since the heart line starts in the middle of your palm, it means you fall in love easily. Is that true, Ryoku-san?" Sakichi tapped his chin with his free hand, looking at the next line. Sakichi pointed at the line that ran in the middle of his palm. The head line. "This one is the head line, it represents your creativity, learning ability, and communications with others, and how you think! This line tells a lot about people. Yours is.. very long, and thick. I think that means that your thoughts are clear. And then, this crossing here, means that you're going through an emotional crisis. Shame, you don't seem the type to deserve that." Sakichi cocked his head to the side and moved onto the next line, the Life line. "This is your life line, Ryoku!" His happiness faded as he drew along the short line that started somewhere near his thumb. "This means that you're easily manipulated by others. That can be a pain, can't it? Since it's straight and close to the edge of your palm, it says that you're quite cautious in your relationship." Sakichi moved onto the fate line, showing him as he spoke. Sakichi ran his finger down the line that ran through most of the other lines, down his palm. "Hmm, it repeatedly breaks off and changes in direction. That's quite odd! You're quite prone to different paths from other things and people, as well as events, that happen in your life. But that's all I can tell."

Sakichi stopped looking at the lines on his palm now and studied the hand and it's shape. "Your hand shape resembles water, which means that you're quite perspective and sympathetic, and that you can be quiet, but sometimes moody. I like that, you're an interesting person, you know, your hand tells me a lot about you.. Sakichi looked up to watch Ryoku, wondering if the other had absorbed everything he'd said, or if Sakichi's excited voice droning on had made the other slightly tired, or the sexual pauses in his voice had seduced the other, even slightly. It was fun to play with hands, he had a thing for hands, as well as jawline and collarbones.

[Kriss]

Ryoku soaked in every word the male said, almost as though he was a sponge. He listened carefully, then looked at the other, cocking his head to the side. "How'd you know all that~?" His eyes were wide slightly, and he had a slight look of awe on his face. Shurly this other male was a mind reader....Yes, that had to be it.

Though the male was still tipsym and his head spun slightly, he still managed to give Sakichi a lopsided smile. " You think im an interesting person eh~?" He chuckled, and shook his head. "I don't think anyone's ever told me that before."

[xLULLABii]

Sakichi watched as the other stared at him for a while, in awe, and gazing at him sort of like a lost puppy would. Sakichi smirked as the other spoke, and then reached out when he finished. " I don't know why anyone wouldn't tell you that, it's the truth." Sakichi stroked the line of one of the markings on Ryoku's face, starting at his blue eye, before mimicking the movement with his other hand on the other side of the male's face, leaning close to him, watching him intently. Sakichi leaned closer, eyes fluttering slightly. Though feminine, Sakichi was going to be dominate tonight. The other did not seem the dominate type, though he could have been.. and had been, with his mate.

Sakichi's hands moved down to the other's shoulders and Sakichi pushed the male back onto the bed, pressing him snuggly into the bed. Sakichi was mostly laying on the other, one hand fingering the other's face and traveling to his ear, cupping it gently. Sakichi lowered his head to his ear and spoke softly into it, voice nothing but a light whisper ; "Are you? Easily swayed? We're both lonely tonight, aren't we?" As Sakichi spoke, his hand found the spot where the mating mark was and removed it, the mark burning into the back of his hand. Though it was nothing more than a sting, he could feel the God's presence, the attachment to him. Sakichi grinned and licked the other's earlobe, nibbling on the bottom slightly, fangs brushing over sensitive skin, hand roaming over the other's body. First it was on his chest, then down his torso to his pants, a hand lingering against the cloth that covered his pelvis, fingers brushing lightly over the other's cock through the material.

"Would you like to be with someone tonight, Ryoku? Would you like to feel warm, and needed? Sakichi was speaking softly, slipping his hand down the other's pants to fondle him, tongue racing down the other's throat to his neck, nipping the flesh.

[Kriss]

Ryoku flushed slightly and shook his head. "It's not true actually I'm rather boring." As the other pushed him back onto the bed, Ryoku gasped slightly, and whimpered as he felt Sakichi nibbled on his ear, and he closed his eyes. And as the others hands traveled down his body, Ryoku shuddered, biting his lip. The rational part of his mind screamed at him, telling him he shouldn't let the other do this to him, that he had a mate, and no matter how upset he was right now, he shouldn't.

Ryoku chose to ignore that voice, and let the male continue what he was doing, moaning slightly as he was fondled, whimpering. "I....I...oh~!" He gasped again. "Please," he whined, biting his bottom lip.
