Rating: 18
Band: Lycaon
Main Pairing: Yuuki x Hiyuu
This Chapter: Yuuki x Satoshi
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. Now he is a Demon Layer, duty bound to sleep with the corrupted souls and return them to the kind Supernatural creatures they had once been.
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.

“Do you fancy hanging out tomorrow night?” Satoshi asked as he walked beside Yuuki. They were heading home from university together, sharing part of the way, just enjoying each other's company. “I know it's a Saturday so you might have plans.”
“I was going to go to the gay pride festival with Hiyuu,” Yuuki admitted, “But I could see you later?”
“Are you sure Hiyuu won't mind?” Satoshi worried, “That kind of festival seems like a day you should share with your boyfriend. I didn't realise it was tomorrow.”
“No, it's fine,” Yuuki reassured him, “Why don't you come to the festival too? We can invite Zero and have fun together. It's been awhile. Then Zero and Hiyuu can go of together so that we can have some alone time.”
“It's still strange to me, the concept of an open relationship like that,” Satoshi admitted, “I was jealous a little before, but I just don't know if I could stand to be in one. We werewolves value loyalty above everything else. Not that I think you're doing anything wrong.”
“Everyone is different,” Yuuki replied, “Can I ask a question?”
“Sure, go ahead,” Satoshi replied.
“Why don't you want to be with your pack?” Startled Satoshi stopped dead and wished the earth would swallow him whole. So Yuuki knew then? Knew and understood why Saturday was so important.
“I have two, my family pack and my friends here,” Satoshi confirmed, there was nothing worse to a wolf than being alone, “But my pack here is small, two women and another man.”
“Well we can't leave you dateless on the full moon,” Yuuki reassured him. “It's your first one since you and your boyfriend broke up isn't it?”
“Yes,” Satoshi admitted shyly. The full moon was the one night of the year when an adult werewolves hormones went out of control. Short of sex, and a lot of it, nothing would calm his lust whilst the moon lit up the sky. He'd been trying to be subtle, but he realised now that Yuuki knew right from the start that he had really been asking for a sex partner for the night.
“Oh!” Yuuki exclaimed in delight, “Look at those cats!”
“I'm not buying you a stuffed toy,” Hiyuu objected, “They're not even cute.”
“They're kind of creepy,” Satoshi agreed but that didn't stop Yuuki rushing over to the vendor and buying a stuffed toy that looked like a very poorly done Nyan cat. Around them was so much colourful nonsense that Hiyuu felt almost sick. He loved the parade, the half naked men on floats, the feeling of community. He just hated this commercial aspect to it.
“Look!” Yuuki declared happily as he returned with his toy. “For you?”
“No thank you,” Hiyuu replied stubbornly. “Besides, while you were messing around with that cat you missed Aya.”
“She was here?” Yuuki asked, “She didn't recognise me though?”
“No,” Hiyuu replied, “She walked right past.”
“Who's Aya?” Zero asked, “An old friend?”
“Very old,” Yuuki replied, “You could call her my sister.”
“She's one of the four isn't she?” Satoshi guessed. “A demon layer? Aimi's straight so I'm guessing she's the lesbian? That would explain why she was here.”
“I haven't seen her in so long,” Yuuki said as he wishfully looked around the crowd for her. It was a shame Aya hadn't awoken, out of his three siblings he was closest to her. Perhaps because despite their differences they also had the most in common.
“There's four divine creatures,” Hiyuu explained after he had led Satoshi and Zero away from the busy street. “Yuuki is the phoenix, and Aimi is the blue dragon. They've both awoken fully now to fight this curse, but the other two hadn't. We haven't seen any evidence they were even here until I spotted Aya. She's the White Tiger.”
“Great, she's going to hate me isn't she?” Satoshi complained, seeing Zero's confusion he continued, “For a human to become immortal you need a token of one of the four divine creatures. Yuuki's feathers are the easiest, he can drop them without pain. Usually that ritual leads to a vampire, but if it goes wrong a zombie is born. They're not like other Supernaturals, they're just dead and need killing for good.”
“And humans can become other undead immortals,” Zero reminded Satoshi, “Like me.”
“And a few others,” Hiyuu confirmed, “I warned you that there were risks. To get a feather a Supernatural creature asks, or is given one as a gift. Supernaturals pray, give gifts, even make sacrifices for Yuuki's feathers. He is a god and we worship him as such.”
“The humans torture me,” Yuuki said quietly, “For days at a time, weeks even, until I transform to escape the pain. They strip my feathers and it hurts. Sometimes I die right there, just to escape without dropping a single one.”
“I'm sorry,” Zero said softly, “I didn't realise.”
“To become a werewolf you need Aya's pelt,” Yuuki explained, “She has no way of giving it without giving her life as well. Most werewolves are born, but those who are self made are one of the worst creatures out there. That's why Aya isn't too fond of any wolf. They remind her of her own death.”
Yuuki was determined to enjoy himself after their rather morbid conversation. With excessive delight he walked around the bars, tasting samples and laughing too hard at jokes. After awhile they had all forgotten their conversation and went back to a more relaxed evening. He was just thinking that his day couldn't get any better when he saw her and his mood was ruined. A female vampire, cursed. So that was why Aya was here? Why he was so close. He didn't want to do this, but he had no choice. It was time that Aya woke up.
“She'll be in the old pub,” Hiyuu said as he watched the vampire closely. “She likes that kind of old European charm.”
“At least I don't have to break into her house,” Yuuki said with false optimism. He still remembered the day Aimi had started his awakening. It had been hard living like this, still more human than himself. It was Aya's turn now, but he kind of wished she didn't have to do this at all.
Even so he found the pub and soon spotted the pretty blond girl in the leather jacket hanging out with a few of her friends. They were drinking beer straight from the bottle, and having a good time. She didn't recognise him at all, but he couldn't mistake her anywhere. Her face might change, but he would always recognise his sister.
“Aya, can I speak to you for a few minutes?” Yuuki asked, trying his best to appear friendly. She gave him a look, as if she thought he might be hitting on her before giving a small nod and following him away.
“How do you know my name?” Aya asked, “It's not even my real one, just a childhood nickname. Do I know you?”
“From the past,” Yuuki confirmed, “I'm sorry Aya, I have no choice.”
“What do you mean?” Aya asked, worried now. Without messing around Yuuki reached for her arm and watched with detachment as her veins glowed bright white for a few moments. “Yuuki?”
“You're awake,” He said greeting her with a hug that she returned eagerly.
“I've missed you,” She confessed, reaching up to admire Yuuki's current features. In turn he took in the pastel colours she wore within her blond hair, her cherry red lips and clothes that made her look both tough and innocent at the same time. Like a rock star who had just stepped out of the covers of a magazine. She was the female version of himself, right down to her fashion sense. “What is it this time? Not a werewolf, if I hated them before finding out that one had ripped you to pieces made it so much worse.”
“One of my close friends is a werewolf,” Yuuki informed her, “Born so you don't need to hate him.”
“I suppose,” she agreed. “For you, Onii-san.”
“There's a vampire, female and here so I'm sure you're the one who needs to tame her.” Yuuki informed her. “If not we're going to find a brother of ours. Aimi and I have awoken, but he hasn't.”
“Don't worry, I'll tame this chick,” Aya promised. “Just lead me to her, and watch a pro in action.”
Finding the vampire wasn't as easy as Yuuki had hoped. Hiyuu had been keeping track of her and probably still was. Problem was Hiyuu and the vampire were together and Satoshi and Zero had no idea where.
“I was going to follow his scent,” Satoshi explained, “But we've been walking around these streets so long it's all jumbled and there's far too many people around to have picked up hers.”
“I can smell her,” Aya realised, as surprised by the realisation as everyone else. “I think it's her. I smell something evil, like it's too sweet? Funny, I thought evil would smell bad.”
“I can't smell it at all,” Satoshi said, clearly awed by the tigress before him. Like Yuuki had been she hadn't fully awoken yet and had no idea who she really was. Imagine how strong she'd be in her true form. Stronger than him, wolf and man. “Evil that is.”
“Wolves can't,” Aya replied, looking a little unsure, “Right?”
“Right,” Satoshi agreed.
“Guys, let's just look for them the old fashioned way,” Zero suggested. “Hiyuu will have his phone off so we can't call him, but that doesn't mean we can't look.”
“I like this one,” Aya declared, “You're smart for a kid.”
“I'm not a kid!” Zero protested. “Do you even know what I am?”
“No,” Aya replied laughing, “Some kind of ancient supernatural?”
“Something like that,” Zero said with a smile.
“Liar!” Yuuki said unable to keep the smile of his face, “You've been a Mummy for like three years.”
“I'm still smart,” Zero protested. “I think we should look down there to start.”
“Lead the way, Ancient-san,” Aya suggested. Nodding Zero led her down the ally. Following a little further behind Yuuki glanced over at Satoshi worried. The full moon was due to rise any minute and Satoshi looked like he was already under it's power. He hadn't missed the way Satoshi was looking at him and wished he could just suggest that the two of them went to find a room together. They'd been delayed by this vampire, but he couldn't leave until it was all sorted out.
They fell even further behind, Satoshi well aware that he knew exactly what was going on. He had self control, all wolves did, but sex was literally the only thing he could focus on right now. Almost all werewolves were conceived on a new moon, gay or straight the wolf's couldn't resist the mating call.
“Would you like to borrow my necklace?” Yuuki asked. It was the same silver cross he had been wearing the night he had cured Hiyuu. He should be offering it to Aya, but it looked like Satoshi needed it more.
“No,” Satoshi replied, “Lend it to Aya.”
“Are you sure?” Yuuki worried.
“Yes,” Satoshi replied, “You know as well as I do that the silver breaks my connection to the moon. I don't want that, I can handle my hormones well enough. A wolf without the moon is like a teenager without a phone. We don't need it, but we don't separate from it easily.”
“It won't be long,” Yuuki promised as he went over to lend the necklace to the other Layer.
It had taken most of an hour to find Hiyuu and the vampire, and another half hour to get back to Satoshi's home. Yuuki really didn't know how Satoshi had it in him to calmly take of his shoes and offer him a drink. Perhaps he was just trying to prove that the moon couldn't control him?
“Do you mind if I just have a water?” Yuuki asked. He longed to be ripping Satoshi's clothes of right now, but he really did need a drink. When Satoshi handed him the glass he downed half of it and placed it to one side. Words were no longer needed to carry on and eagerly he pressed their lips together and clung onto the other man as they rubbed their bodies close together.
“It's been worse this moon,” Satoshi admitted, “Because there's always part of me that longs for you.”
“Don't apologise,” Yuuki reassured him, “Just do that thing with your tail?”
“You really liked that?” Satoshi asked, “Pervert.”
“I like everything you do to me,” Yuuki reassured him. With a smile Satoshi led him to the bedroom and they were kissing again. More passionate this time as they let go of everything that had been holding them back before.
Pulling apart they stripped in record time, and then they were kissing again in the light of the moon pouring through the large window. He could feel Satoshi's hardness against his own, but despite the luna call Satoshi seemed able to take things slow. Years of practise perhaps? Or maybe just been in each other's arms and knowing they were working towards sex was enough for him.
With a wink Satoshi pulled away and moved onto all fours before him. The same position he had been in the first time they had done this he remembered. He had more time to appreciate him this time, now that Satoshi didn't want to rip him apart.
Gently he slapped Satoshi's ass, enjoying the others gasp but instinctively knowing this wasn't the wolf's kink. Never mind, it wasn't like he had any one kink he favoured above all others. Unless whipping men was a kink, he supposed it probably was.
Massaging the spot where he had hurt Satoshi he materialised the lube in the other hand and poured some down the cleft and over his fingers. Carefully he slid his fingers inside the other, knowing now that what Satoshi wanted, what he needed, was to be loved this night.
He began to move his fingers slowly in and out of Satoshi, enjoying the sounds the other was making for him. He wanted Satoshi more than he had realised. This wasn't just a bit of fun any more, the emotions he was feeling were scarily real. He no longer wanted to play with the other, he just wanted to be close. Giving in to his needs he slid his hard length where his fingers had just been, enjoying the tight heat that wrapped around him even as he felt the other's tail push into hiss ass. When had Satoshi allowed his body to morph? He hadn't even noticed, far too lost in the moment.
“I can see why they call you a sex god,” Satoshi said sleepily as they lay side by side in the bed. It had taken several rounds to satisfy him, not that Yuuki was complaining.
“I'm not a god,” Yuuki corrected, “I'm not from their world.”
“Their world?” Satoshi asked, “Gods are real?”
“Kind of,” Yuuki explained, “They live in a world separate to both this one and the fairy kingdom. They used to come here, then they stopped. They're strange creatures, impossible for any of us to understand. So gods are real, but they're not here. I'm something else.”
“What are you?” Satoshi asked, when Yuuki refused to answer he decided to ask something else instead. “How did a werewolf kill you?”
“The wolf was once a man,” Yuuki explained, “He managed, and I don't know how, to take Aya's pelt. He became a wolf through a darkness that fed on the curse in the town. He was a demon, but worse as he had no gentle form. I'd thought I'd done my job when he ripped out my throat. I failed that night. Aimi must have defeated the curse alone. She was the only one left.”
“Do you hate werewolves, for what he did to you?” Satoshi asked.
“No,” Yuuki replied, “I've died so many times, it means nothing in the end. Hiyuu is the one who suffers, living alone while he waits for my return. For him I try my best to stay alive.”
“You love him, more than anyone else?” Satoshi asked.
“He's my sun,” Yuuki answered.
“And that's why I don't want to sleep with you again,” Satoshi explained. “I need a relationship that's constant, stable and not open like yours. Meeting you, I know what lust is, but lust isn't love. I want a man all to myself. That can never be you.”
“No, it's not,” Yuuki agreed, “But until you find him what we do hurts no one.”
“No one at all,” Satoshi agreed as he pressed his lips against Yuuki. For now he would enjoy the ride, love would come in time.
Author's Note: Unlike Aimi, Aya isn't entirely an OC. Her personality is creatred, her look and name comes from the pop star Aya Kamiki. Even though really every character in this has a personality I've given them for this story, somehow Aya still feels like an OC. Yet I love her in a way I love all my characters except Aimi. Aimi was a mistake. I thought she was going to be a one chapter character and then the plot unfolded and she became important. Well, this is a yaoi fic so neither girl is going to be anything more than a minor character. Just thought I'd widen the world a little and introduce Byakko (The White Tiger) and establish Aimi as Seiryu (The Blue Dragon).
I am working on a character guide, but here's a quick guide to the four divine creatures of chinese mythology.
Genbu, A black tortoise copulating with a snake represents winter, The North and the Water element.
Seiryu, A blue dragon (chinese style) representing Spring, The East and the Wood element.
Suzaku, A large red bird often described as a phoenix representing Summer, The South and fire.
Byakko, A white tiger representing Autumn, The West and metal.
Each divine creature of the night sky also has 7 constellations representing the 7 houses under each sign. But I won't go in too much depth. Just if you've been around Japanese media long enough you might have seen these four before. They're mentioned in Kamen Rider Fourze, a key point on Final Fantasy Type-0 and the whole insperation for Yuu Watase's manga Fushigi Yugi (and it's sequel Fushigi Yugi, Genbu Gaiden).
