Summary: Yuuki was just an average student until the day the strange woman broke into his apartment. Awakening part of him long forgotten, Yuuki returns to a calling that changes his whole world.

Warning: Whilst many of the Supernatural creatures in this series may not be human in nature, all sex scenes will involve the creature in a humanoid form. Due to the nature of this series some scenes will involve questionable consent, but no rape. Various kinks and fetishes may be explored in future chapters without further warning, though I will warn in advance if a chapter is particularly extreme.

Chapter 9: Yuuki and the Swan Maiden
“Sugizo?” Zero stammered nervously as the snake slid in through his open bedroom window. He'd known the uraeus was coming, he'd just expected him to use the doorbell. Was this some wild snake? Before he could panic the cobra bobbed his head rather comically and took on human form.
“Well, you didn't scream this time,” Sugizo remarked as he smiled at the half naked body lying so temptingly on the bed. “And I like that you're only in your underwear.”
“It's hot OK?” Zero complained as he added some shorts to his assemble.
“Perfect weather for cold blooded creatures,” Sugizo remarked, “Oh I have so much energy tonight!”
“Well us warm blooded creatures get tired in this kind of heat,” Zero complained, “I'm not leaving my bed you know.”
“Well this wouldn't be the first time I've got in bed with a pretty young thing,” Sugizo commented as he sat down beside Zero. “Question is, are you staying because you're lethargic or because you're no longer as scared?”
“Both,” Zero answered, “Why is it so hot?”
“Global warming?” Sugizo suggested as ran a finger up Zero's chest, disappointed when Zero flinched. “Tell me what you see when you look at me.”
“A man,” Zero replied, knowing where this was going, “With fangs that inject lethal poison.”
“Not a pretty man?” Sugizo asked, “With shiny hair, perfect teeth, beautiful skin tone, sexy abs and... well I'll let you guess what happens lower. It rhymes with dig.”
“Well,” Zero said carefully, “I don't know what stroking that ego of yours does.”
“It rhymes with card,” Sugizo said a wink. “But that's for later. Let's get you over this fear first. It's growing tiring.”
“I told you, it's not something I can just get over,” Zero reminded him as he watched Sugizo's arm cover with scales.
“Does just this scare you?” Sugizo asked. “It's just scales.”
“Actually, no,” Zero realised, “I'm more afraid that you'll go further than just some scales on your arm.”
“Prove it,” Sugizo ordered, smiling as Zero did exactly as he expected and began to run his fingers over his arm. It felt good, he realised as he glanced over at the young boy. The touch of a man who knew how to please. If only, no better not start thinking like that or he really would become hard. “You have a soft touch.”
“And you're a lot warmer than I thought,” Zero admitted, “For a cold blooded creature.”
“Well it is a hot night,” Sugizo answered easily. “And it's easier for larger creatures to retain heat. Anyway, you've proven you can touch a snake's skin without freaking out which is a start.”
“Do you shed your skin?” Zero asked, his curiosity just another of his charms.
“I'm made of gold, so no,” Sugizo replied, “I'm going to revert to a snake now. You're in no danger but I want you to pick me up. Take your time if you need to, but I won't leave or return to human form until you complete this task.”
“Sugizo no!” Zero complained, sighing as a snake joined him in the bed. Great. Now he was going to be haunted by the creature unless he could get enough courage to do as asked. Nervously he reached out, jerking his hand away when Sugizo moved. This was going to be a long night, he thought with a sigh.
Yuuki knew he shouldn't be out tonight, not with his enemies close and Sugizo gone, but he couldn't stay inside any longer. It was too hot to sleep tonight so what was the point in trying? A walk might tire him out a little and when he had proposed the idea to Hiyuu the vampire had agreed. Hiyuu could be surprising at times, Yuuki thought as he glanced over at his lover. He could be protective when it suited him, only to be a free spirit a moment later. Tonight though he seemed to be a little in between. He took the threat seriously, but at the same time didn't believe it was here quite yet.
“Do you think Sugizo has made his conquest yet?” Hiyuu asked as he took Yuuki's hand firmly in his own.
“Well Zero loves sex, and Sugizo is full of charm,” Yuuki said weighing up his options, “But I don't think it's going to happen tonight.”
“Perhaps not tonight,” Hiyuu agreed, “You have to remember the last time he was near a snake, other than Sugizo, he ended up spending the night in hospital. Hospital gowns are one look that really don't suit him.”
“So you made him take it off?” Yuuki asked with a sly smile.
“Actually no,” Hiyuu admitted, “You know I'm careful around humans. Even pretty ones like him. Sex leads a person vulnerable. It's fine with supernaturals, you can usually tell when they want you dead, but humans? They hide their fear until it becomes hate.”
“And hide their lust until it becomes love,” Yuuki reminded him, broken from his train of thought as he noticed a beautiful blond woman walk past. “Did you see what she was wearing?”
“The amulet of the Burnt Bird,” Hiyuu confirmed, “She didn't recognise you.”
“They haven't figured out who I am,” Yuuki replied, “They will in time.”
“So let's use that time and spy on them,” Hiyuu encouraged with a sly smile. “Look, she's heading towards the park. Shall we follow her?”
“Sugizo will kill me himself,” Yuuki said with a grin. “Let's go.”
With trembling fingers Zero picked up the snake, screaming in fright as Sugizo slithered up his arm. He was frozen now as he watched the snake, watched death, slowly wrap around his arm. He knew he shouldn't be afraid, it was only Sugizo who meant him no harm, but that didn't mean he could simply shake the fear away. His heart pounded as the snake watched him but to his surprise he gradually calmed down. The snake wasn't doing anything but watching him, and wouldn't do anything because it was as intelligent as a man. More so perhaps, if you took in his vast knowledge.
Slowly he reached out with his other arm, running his fingers down the back of the snakes neck as he settled back against his pillows. It wasn't that he was relaxed, or even complacent. He just wasn't panicked, despite the adrenaline rushing through his veins.
“I've passed,” Zero declared, hoping that Sugizo would get the hint and leave his arm. For a long moment he thought that there would be more, but then Sugizo slid onto the bed and returned to human form.
“Took you long enough,” Sugizo complained, “What was that, like twenty minutes of you freaking out? We're lucky you're neighbours didn't come to see if you're OK. Or unlucky, if you consider they would have done the same in a real threat.
“My neighbours kind of suck don't they?” Zero agreed, “I enjoy the privacy, so I don't complain. Truthfully I think they just don't like me.”
“What's not to like?” Sugizo asked, “You're adorable.”
“I sleep around with men,” Zero confessed, “It makes the woman on the left jealous, she struggles to find anyone, and the couple on the right are simply old fashioned. You don't seem surprised?”
“Supernaturals tend to be obsessively monogamous, or complete embrace polygamy. As Yuuki's friend with no obvious boyfriend I kind of already assumed it was the second.” Sugizo admitted.
“And you?” Zero asked, “Where do you fall?”
“I'm bound in servitude to Yuuki,” Sugizo replied, “And love myself.”
“Well anyone can guess the second part,” Zero said with a wry smile.
“Perhaps, but I practice the dance of love with those I hold dear. Does that answer your question?” Sugizo asked as he leant over and brushed his lips against Zero's neck. Before Zero could react he felt a tongue dart across his skins. “Yuuki, predictable, Hiyuu, again no surprise and a third man in the last few nights? Well you didn't lie, you like to have fun.”
“Teru,” Zero finished, finding himself blushing. “You can taste them on me? It's not like I don't shower.”
“I can taste more than you would like me to know,” Sugizo confessed, “But on to your lesson for the night. You asked if I shed my skin earlier, but did you know you can change yours?”
“Like my clothes?” Zero asked, “That came naturally.”
“You're skin is Asian,” Sugizo commented casually, “I want you to change it to an Egyptian tan. Let's see what you can do.”
“I'll try,” Zero said as he thought for a moment. He couldn't change his skin, but the bandages he moved over it into clothes was different. Carefully he began to cover his arm with a thin glove, coloured as best as he could to match an Egyptian. Easily enough he was able to continue, but when he looked in the mirror he realised just how wrong it was. He looked more like a doll than a human.
“You need to add details,” Sugizo commented, “Blemishes, markings, scars. Your face needs to be human, but not your face. When done a stranger needs to stand in this room. Don't worry, this isn't easy but we have all night.”
Yuuki looked away out of respect as the blond woman kissed her girlfriend, turning his attention instead to Hiyuu who looked just as uncomfortable. Following her had been one thing, spying on this meeting was something else.
“Should we leave?” Yuuki whispered. They weren't learning anything tonight, just that a member of The Order of the Burnt Bird happened to be into girls. It was no big deal to him, thought perhaps to The Order it was some great secret. Sometimes The Order were homophobic, other times they weren't. It all depended on the leader.
“I don't think we're learning anything,” Hiyuu admitted. “The brunette seems human to me, the blond something else.”
“The blond is a cursed supernatural, the brunette human,” Yuuki concluded, his analysis matching Hiyuu's perfectly. “It's just a secret hook up, isn't it?”
“Maybe,” Hiyuu sighed, “Well so much for our great investigation.”
“Oh, I wouldn't say that,” the blond spoke up from across the park, his male voice shocking for a moment. Plenty of men cross-dressed in Japan, few were this good, “This is more than just a hook-up and I don't want you to leave. I'm rather curious as to why two supernaturals are stalking us.”
“I want to join your Order,” Yuuki informed the man confidently. “Hiyuu here is a vampire. Eternity is just in his nature, but not in mine. I need immortality. I need The Phoenix.”
“You want to join us?” the blond asked, shocked by the news. “You called me cursed?”
“I know, I don't care,” Yuuki replied.
“We just want to be together. Whatever the cost.” Hiyuu responded, his voice as dark as it was when he was cursed himself.
“Whatever the cost,” the brunette, obviously a man now, repeated, “We can understand that, can't we Hizaki?”
“Yes,” Hizaki said, rather more suspicious than his friend. “But how do we know you're telling the truth? The Order doesn't exactly plan to ask The Phoenix nicely. He's never helped The Order before.”
“He wants all the power to himself,” Hiyuu answered, “Lording it over us as a god, all because he keeps the power to himself? What makes him so special? I would have tracked The Order down years ago if I knew you had given up on homophobia.”
“Well, the humans aren't so open minded,” Hizaki replied, “Jasmine and I have had to keep our relationship secret.”
“No matter,” Hiyuu answered, “With us on your side we can capture The Phoenix in no time. What do you say?”
“I want to say no,” Hizaki said as he glanced between the two men lustfully. Even in a situation like this it seemed Yuuki's charms were hard to resist. “But there's something about you that makes me want to trust you. Very well, you can attend out meeting tomorrow. 3PM, just outside the rose gardens over there.”
“We'll meet you there,” Yuuki promised, “Just one thing. What are you?”
“Well that would be telling.” Hizaki said with a wink.
“You can tell me,” Yuuki bargained. “Haven't you decided to trust me?”
“I suppose I have,” Hizaki said thoughtfully. “Very well, I will tell you. On one condition, tell me what you are first.”
“A sorcerer,” Yuuki lied, “You can trust me. It's the phoenix I'm after.”
“If you hurt him, you can answer to me,” Jasmine warned as he studied Yuuki closely. A sorcerer was a kind of witch that harvested the souls of supernatural creatures to cast magic of their own. It was a dark art, but would explain perfectly his supposed lack of immortality and interest in The Phoenix.
“Jasmine is the most powerful witch I've ever met,” Hizaki explained proudly, “I don't like your dark art, sorcerer. Or that you haven't told me your name.”
“Yuuki,” he answered, “And you don't have to like what I am, I don't plan to stay a sorcerer along. With The Phoenix's power I will be a true supernatural.”
“A vampire if we're lucky,” Hiyuu agreed, “Then Yuuki you'll be perfect.”
“I can hardly wait,” Yuuki said eagerly. They hadn't quite gained Hizaki's trust, but now his concerns would be elsewhere. Who wouldn't believe the tale Hiyuu and he had just spun? They were perfectly in synch with their story from centuries of practice. “Swan Maiden?”
“So, you figured it out,” Hizaki said with a smile. “I'm impressed.”
“Your swan token is subtle,” Yuuki admitted, “I almost missed the feather details on Jasmine's wedding ring. Was your power taken or given away?”
“It was a gift,” Hizaki replied.
“A gift I cherish.” Jasmine added as he took Hizaki's hand, “But you mess with us and Hizaki and I will make you pay. Understand this sorcerer, we may have invited you to our meeting but you're not part of The Order, not yet. First you'll have to earn our trust.”
“You're getting better,” Sugizo complimented Zero as he managed to change his appearance almost convincingly this time, “You just need practice.”
“I'll master this,” Zero promised as he let himself return to his usual form, “You're a good teacher.”
“I'm good at many things,” Sugizo replied as he traced his fingers down Zero's naked torso. Such a beautiful boy, he thought as he admired the younger man. He didn't flinch under his touch any more, if anything he was enjoying it. “Why don't you get naked and I'll show you?”
“Pervert,” Zero said laughing, “Because I sleep around you think I'm easy?”
“I think you're full of love,” Sugizo corrected, “And under my spell.”
“Your ego is something else,” Zero complained as Sugizo's hand began to caress his right nipple, “But that feel so good.”
“Naturally,” Sugizo replied, “I could hypnotise you to do this you know, but I won't. I'm not a rapist. If you want me to continue, scratch your am.”
“What?” Zero asked, a little alarmed by Sugizo's request.
“My hypnosis is powerful, but the survival instinct is stronger. If you were hypnotised you wouldn't be able to hurt yourself. Scratch your arm.” Sugizo explained.
“I don't need to, I trust you,” Zero admitted, “Even if you are a snake.”
“You'll learn to love snakes,” Sugizo promised him, a smile crossing his features as Zero's bandages shifted from being a pair of jeans to settling around his lower leg. His lesson in action they settled as a second skin, giving the illusion that Zero really was entirely naked. “The way our bodies can shift into all kinds of shapes. For now, how about a sixty nine?”
“Oh yes!” Zero exclaimed excited. For all the hype the position got he had never actually tried it. Sure, he was just a conquest for the older man, he was no fool, but that didn't mean he was going to turn down this chance to enjoy himself. He was easy, everyone knew it and whilst many may judge him for it, in the end it didn't matter. His friends loved him just the way he was.
Rolling onto his side he watched as Sugizo's clothes rippled as scales for a moment before disappearing entirely. His scales were like his bandages, his hypnosis like the way he could manipulate fear in his enemies. They were similar powers, Zero thought, for the first time realising just how important it was for Sugizo to be his teacher.
All thoughts of lessons were gone when Sugizo lay beside him and began to tease the tip of his growing erection with his tongue. How much could Sugizo tell about him by doing this? Did he even want to know? Deciding that he didn't he leant forward slightly and began to return the pleasure in kind. Licking the other's length, feeling the way it seemed to come to life in his mouth. With mouth and hand he pleasured Sugizo as his teacher returned the favour. Perhaps this wasn't the lesson he had anticipated, but all the same he was learning just how wonderful it was to be positioned like this.
With a moan he shifted closer to Sugizo, not minding at all when the other's fingers began to stroke his ass, teasing his hole and making even more pleasure shoot through him. This was so good, he was lost to the pleasure, amplified by our obviously Sugizo was enjoying this along with him.
He came suddenly, gasping around the other's cock as he hurried to bring Sugizo to his own pleasure. To his surprise Sugizo pulled back, and he watched curiously as Sugizo moved up the bed and sat open legged beside him. Not needing to be told he hurried to kneel between the inviting legs, his mouth wrapping around the cock once more. He didn't even mind when Sugizo's legs wrapped around him, trapping in place. He could still move, but only up and down the other's length. He didn't have the freedom to pull away, not that he wanted too.
“I always prefer the experienced boys,” Sugizo complimented him as he gently ran his fingers through Zero's hair. “They're just so much better in the bedroom. I'm easy too you know, don't fear that I judge you.”
Unable to answer, but accepting the words of praise, he moved quicker over Sugizo's length. A few moments later he was swallowing cum, and was finally released from the snakes embrace. This was just the start, just a little foreplay to get the edge of before they moved on to the main event.
“Top drawer?” Sugizo asked, not waiting for an answer as he pulled open the drawer of Zero's bedside table. Predictively, as it was obvious how much Zero enjoyed sex, he found the lube he was looking for and several sex toys that he wasn't. It was quite the collection to have on hand, but perhaps nothing compared to Yuuki and Hiyuu's.
With a smile it was Zero's turn to spread his legs. All fear of Sugizo was gone now, replaced with lust and desire. It made Zero even more beautiful than he had been before and all Sugizo could think of was just how much he wanted to be inside him. He'd heard Zero scream in fear, now to illicit a scream of pleasure.
With lube dripping from his fingers he slid one, and then a second deep inside Zero and began to thrust them slowly inside him. Before him Zero was gasping in pleasure, sensitive but able to take anything that was thrown at him.
“Do you know how snakes have sex?” Sugizo asked, not waiting for Zero to answer because he suspected the answer would be no, “Even when joined together they want to get closer. Their bodies entwining together until sometimes you can't tell where the snakes begin or end. When I'm inside you I want you to wrap yourself around me like that.”
“You're more snake than man,” Zero accused, his voice light and teasing. It wasn't agreement, but Sugizo suspected that Zero would accept his request all the same.
“You know, I could do all sorts of sexual things to you in snake form,” Sugizo offered with a sly smile. Was that a shiver of pleasure or fear he wondered? Perhaps it was mean to tease Zero, he didn't want to lose this chance to be with him.
Carefully Sugizo slid his length into Zero, delighted when arms and legs wrapped around his body holding him close. This was what he wanted, what he needed. Threesomes were fun, but they lacked the intimacy that he craved.
Moving slowly he kissed Zero gently, sliding his tongue into the other's mouth as he tried desperately to get closer and deeper. Nothing was enough, but this was as close as he could get. Accepting this he let the pleasure wash over his body, keeping his touches slow and intimate as Zero returned the favour eagerly. This had started as a conquest, just a bit of fun, but he realised he had been wrong. Zero was more than a notch on his bedpost, he was his perfect match in the bedroom which made him special. Few could please him like Zero did, even fewer he wanted to keep around. That night Sugizo claimed his student, not just for this night but many nights to come.
