Chapter 10 � The Strongest Bond

            Ikki was not happy with this particular
detour. As much as he enjoyed being a Saint, he was not prepared to �bond� with
a guy. Marin and Aiolia had told him it did not have to be about sex, but so
far everyone he knew that was bonded to each other, were having sex. Plus,
Shaka was a little odd. He was strong and powerful, but rarely interacted with
others unless necessary. How am I going to bond with someone who isn�t even
remotely social?

            Shaka was standing at the entrance to his
temple, he had sensed their arrival. As usual, his eyes were closed. Marin and
Aiolia approached him first, Ikki lagged behind.

            �Shaka, may we enter?� Aiolia asked the Gold Saint whose
eyes opened slightly to look at his visitors.


�You may.� He closed his eyes again and motioned for them to come in.
Marin and Aiolia disappeared into the temple as Ikki slowly stepped up.


�Phoenix. And what do I owe this pleasure?� Shaka asked Ikki as he
passed by.

            �Marin and Aiolia asked me to come.� That was
all he said, still unsure of why he agreed to do this. Ikki usually did not get
anxious or nervous, but today was different. His stomach tightened in
apprehension. �Shaka, we think we have found your bond!� Marin announced
immediately after the four Saints were inside the temple.

            �Phoenix Ikki I presume?� Shaka said, his tone
remaining calm. �Yes, Phoenix. We felt his cosmos and it seems to be a match
to yours.� Aiolia smiled, happy to help his fellow Saint�s find their bond.
Shaka returned the smile, his eyes opening again to look at Ikki.

            �And you? What do you think Ikki?� Shaka
moved toward him graciously, his hips swaying slightly. �I don�t know. I have
only recently learned of the bond and am not fully aware of its implications.�
Ikki swallowed hard as the Virgo Saint stepped into his personal space.

            �I see. Well then�shall we perform the test?�
Shaka asked his three visitors. �That�s a good idea Shaka.� Marin grinned
under her mask and Aiolia grabbed her hand affectionately. �Test? What kind of
test?� Ikki asked, taking a step back from Shaka.

            �It�s simple, do not worry. Just hold my hand
and burn your cosmos.� Shaka held his hand out to Ikki. The Phoenix Saint
looked at Marin and Aiolia holding hands. He took Shaka�s hand and did as he
was told, burning his cosmos with the Gold Saint.

            Ikki closed his eyes to focus and to escape
looking at the beautiful blond Saint. He felt his energy levels rise, his
cosmos fueled easily. At first he did not notice anything unusual, but
then�then he felt the bond. A strange sensation gripped him fiercely. It was
the strongest feeling he had ever experienced, but not like the love he held for
Esmeralda. This was more like pure heat, pure strength flowing through him.

            Ikki took in a sharp breath when he felt
Shaka�s cosmos blend with his, the two becoming one. Shaka�s hand tightened
around his, obviously the Virgo Saint was going though the same thing. The
nerves in Ikki�s skin heightened their awareness, more sensitive to the touch of
pleasure and less to pain. He relaxed into the bonding, content for the moment.

            However, it was when Ikki noticed that he was
becoming aroused that he tried to pull away. The bond would not relinquish its
hold on him and even ripping the physical contact from Shaka could not squelch
the energy already building. Ikki panted, the force of the bond was immense.
�It is strong�stronger than most!� Aiolia called out, amazed by the power
emanating from them.

            �The stronger the Saints, the stronger the
bond. Yours is the most powerful I have ever felt.� Marin spoke candidly.
�Together, you are indestructible. Your combined cosmos is greater than any
other. Shaka�it was worth the wait, was it not?� She continued talking, Aiolia
nodding in agreement with her.

            �Yes, it is indeed more that I imagined.�
Shaka said, looking intently at Ikki. After bonding, he knew the Phoenix
Saint�s dilemma since he could tap into Ikki�s thoughts and feelings. �Ikki, I
understand your qualms regarding our bond. Please, stay with me for a few days,
let me help you adjust.� Shaka�s tender gaze melted Ikki�s resolve. �I will
stay�� Ikki whispered, still trying to regain his composure from the test.

            Back in Japan, Shun and Hyoga sat in the
library together flipping through books. �I am so bored these days!� Shun
whined in a cute way causing Hyoga to whap at his foot hanging off the sofa. �I
know what you mean, there�s only so much exercising and eating we can do. We
need hobbies or something.� Hyoga tugged at Shun�s hand.

            �Or we can just spend more time in bed�� Shun
teased the blond, pulling him in for a kiss. As their lips met, Shun cringed
and pulled away. His breath heaved oddly causing Hyoga to worry. �What is it
Shun!?!�

            �I don�t know�it feels like Ikki.� Shun
managed to spit out, his chest contracting. �Are you in pain? Is he okay?�
Hyoga asked, holding his lovers hand. The feeling passed and Shun was able to
catch his breath. �I think�I think Ikki found his bond. I don�t sense that
he�s hurt.� Hyoga was thankful that Shun was alright.

            �I was so scared that I was going to lose you
Shun.� Hyoga choked back some tears. �Hyoga? I�m okay, really�its okay. I
won�t leave you.� Shun pulled Hyoga�s head to his chest in comfort. Tears fell
down Hyoga�s cheeks onto Shun�s green shirt. He met his lovers gaze with
glistening eyes, �but what if something does happen to one of us? I can�t lose
you now that I finally have you.�

            �Hyoga, I didn�t know you were so worried.
Hey�we�ll be okay. We�ve made it this far, we are strong Saints and have many
years ahead of us.� Shun reassured the Cygnus Saint, petting his head in a
loving manner. �I hope you are right. Hyoga responded and lifted his head to
gently kiss Shun. Their passion ignited immediately, mixing with their tender
emotions.

            ***

            Upstairs, Seiya knocked on Shiryu�s door. �Oh
hi Seiya.� Shiryu greeted his friend. �I need to talk, got a minute?� Seiya
kicked his foot into the doorframe nervously. �Yeah, come in.� Shiryu let him
in and shut the door.

            �Seems like all we ever do is talk these
days.� Shiryu pointed out with a smile on his face. Seiya laughed and agreed.
�Have you seen Shunrei?� Seiya asked. �No. She�s in China. Why?�

            �I saw Miho.� Seiya blurted out, like it was a
big deal. �Oh.� Shiryu responded, not really knowing what to say. �I need to
tell you what happened.� Seiya said, not sure how to tell his friend that Miho
no longer stimulated him. Shiryu sat on the bed, assuming Seiya was going to
tell him the opposite, that he only wanted Miho.

            �Something happened?� Shiryu repeated, not
wanting to hear his impending rejection. �Yes, no�well�let me explain. I went
to see her and I made a move on her�but she wasn�t ready, so we stopped. But
that�s not the point�the point is�I don�t want Miho anymore. When I was kissing
her, I was thinking of you.� Seiya stood next to his sitting friend, waving his
arms dramatically.

            �Me? You were thinking of me?� Shiryu looked
up at the Pegasus Saint, his eyes searching for confirmation. �Yes, you. I
only want to be with you�Shiryu I�I can�t stop thinking about you.� Seiya spoke
somewhat timidly, knowing Shiryu had not seen Shunrei and come to the same
conclusions.

            �But I know you haven�t seen Shunrei�and I
can�t expect you to feel the same.� Seiya pouted. Shiryu stood up and pulled
Seiya into his arms. �Oh Seiya�I do feel the same. I don�t need to see her to
know my feelings for you are stronger.� Shiryu kissed Seiya�s pouting lips,
drawing his tongue out to meet his. The two Saint�s savagely ripped at each
other�s clothes, stumbling around while trying to disrobe.

            �I want more�I want more of you.� Seiya begged
as Shiryu�s hands found his hips. �Stay with me�forever.� Shiryu huskily said
between kisses, holding on to Seiya frantically. �Forever.� Seiya mumbled back
before they hit the bed.

            ***

            Ikki sat quietly with his legs crossed on the
floor of the Virgo temple. He had been here for a few hours since the test of
their bond, and so far nothing interesting had happened. Marin and Aiolia had
left him and returned to their hideaway to finish their love making. Shaka had
spoken very little to Ikki, only asking if he was comfortable before returning
to his meditation.

            Grumbling to himself, Ikki stretched out his
legs and looked at the Virgo Saint sitting next to him. �As wonderful as
sitting here has been, I think I�ll take off now.� Ikki made a move to stand
but was pushed back by Shaka�s hand which came out of nowhere. �Don�t go. I�m
sorry, I�m being rude. I should entertain you.�

            �You don�t have to entertain me�� Ikki
muttered, but you could at least talk to me. �Ikki, come, let me show
you around.� Shaka stood and held his hand out to Ikki to help him up. Ikki
eyed the hand warily but took it. Shaka did not release his hand once he was on
his feet and walked off, dragging Ikki behind him.

            �I�m not really comfortable holding hands.�
Ikki said causing Shaka to stop and smile at him. �I know you�re not.� But the
iron grip did not loosen and Shaka started walking again, still holding Ikki�s
hand.

            They strolled through a series of rooms, plush
with gold and silver, before they arrived to Shaka�s bedroom. �Where will I
sleep?� Ikki asked, noticing there was only the one bed and no other bedrooms.
�With me of course.� Shaka�s voice was soft, yet very masculine.

            �Uh�you�ll have to beat me to a pulp before
I�ll get in that bed with you. No offense, but I�m not into guys.� Ikki yanked
his hand out of Shaka�s and started to walk out of the room. He heard Shaka
laughing behind him. �Ikki�why are you so closed to this? I�m not asking you
to be my lover.�

            Ikki stopped to converse with the Gold Saint.
�Well it sounds like you are asking me to be your lover.� He did not back down
from Shaka who spoke eloquently in response, �Ikki, together our bond is
stronger than any other bond between Saints. We are the King of Kings. The
more time we spend together, and the closer we are�the stronger the bond
becomes. Even in death, we can help each other. Or in our case, bring the
other one back from the afterworld. That�s how powerful we are together.�

            Still not convinced that they had to sleep in
the same bed, Ikki did agree about the bond. �I understand the importance of
our bond�but�� Shaka stepped closer to Ikki. �But you are confused by the
attraction you feel for me.� Shaka finished Ikki�s sentence. �Yes�I am
confused�I�ve never been attracted to a man before.� Ikki�s head hung low in
shame. He did not know why he felt the urge to confess this piece of
information, but was relieved once he said it.

            �I am not simply a man Ikki. I am your bonded
Saint�your universal soul mate. There is no connection greater for you than the
one that we share. Do not be ashamed, your attraction will grow. Try not to
resist it.� Shaka walked over to the bed, leaving Ikki to ponder his thoughts.
I am attracted to Shaka, but I don�t know why�oh Esmeralda�I miss you.

            Shaka felt the pang in Ikki�s heart when he
thought of Esmeralda. �Ikki, our bond will not replace the one you miss�that
connection is perfect within itself. I will never take it away from you, trust
me.� Ikki was stunned that Shaka could sense his sadness over Esmeralda. He
was even more stunned at his compassion for letting Ikki hold on to it.

            �You will allow me to mourn a lost love?�
Ikki�s feet unconsciously moved him toward the bed. �Yes. I don�t want you to
forget her. I assume it was a woman.� Shaka sat on the soft bed. �Her name
was Esmeralda.� Ikki said in a hushed voice, almost afraid to utter her name in
disrespect to Shaka. �Then Esmeralda shall forever be cherished in my heart,
for she is the one who loved my Saint.�

            Tears streamed down Ikki�s face. How can he
be so understanding? Why am I so emotional over this? I don�t understand, but
I need him to hold me. Ikki raced into Shaka�s arms, kneeling between the
Gold Saint�s legs. His well-built arms circled the waist of his bonded Saint,
hugging Shaka�s abdomen to his face. Shaka rubbed Ikki�s hair as sobs wracked
his body, finally releasing the pent up anger from losing Esmeralda.

            �Let it out Phoenix�� Shaka closed his eyes
and absorbed the energy exuding from Ikki, strengthening their own bond. Ikki
cried, gripping Shaka tighter. The Virgo Saint smiled down at his Bronze Saint
and wiped the tears away with his thumb. Ikki�s tears subsided and he stood,
releasing his grip on Shaka. Flustered by his show of emotion, Ikki hid his
face in his hands.

            He felt Shaka�s hands on his own, pulling away
his makeshift mask. �Ikki�look at me.� Shaka�s sultry voice sparked a warm
sensation in Ikki. Their eyes met and the bond wrapped them together, pulling
their bodies close. Ikki reacted by instinct, his mind not resisting the action
of Shaka�s mouth closing in on his.

            Their lips met intensely. Ikki opened his
mouth to Shaka�s tongue which licked at his lips. Ikki�s response was coy, but
Shaka could feel his resolve cracking, permitting the intimate contact. The
kiss deepened causing Ikki�s head to swim, the Saint�s Bond increased his
enjoyment. He was somewhat hurt when Shaka pulled his head away, �Now�will you
sleep in my bed with me tonight?� Shaka asked, his eyes probing Ikki�s soul.
�Yes�� Ikki responded as if in a trance, mesmerized by the events that had just
unfolded.

*****
