A HALLOWEEN BIRTHDAY FOR BUNNY

© October 31, 2011 By Rory V. Pascual

PART THREE

"Bunny? Bunny! I think it's okay. You can put me down now."

Kotetsu's voice broke through the fog of terror that had clouded Barnaby's mind. Skidding to a halt, he saw that his lover was pressed tightly to his chest in a Princess Carry.

Blushing in embarrassment, Barnaby let the older man down, muttering "Sorry" at the same time.

"It's all right," Kotetsu patted his shoulder in reassurance. "Somehow, I've gotten used to being carried like that."

"Uh…really?" Barnaby could no longer hide his sadness. "I…I've been getting the impression that you weren't exactly…comfortable…about us."

"You're bringing this up now when we're being chased by a ghost?!"

As he blurted this out, Kotetsu's hand automatically went to his finger, only to discover empty space where his ring should be. "My wedding ring! It's gone!"

"You must have dropped it in the training center when we fled. Even my ring is missing. We'll look for them first thing tomorrow morning."

Kotetsu shook his head. "No! I must find it now! I have to get my ring back!"

He peered into the darkness, searching for the Fire Escape or some stairs. But Barnaby seized his hand.

"Bunny, let go!"

"Kotetsu-san, please!" Barnaby begged him desperately. "Did I do something wrong? Have I done anything that offended you? I know my smart mouth gets away with me sometimes and…"

A tender hand cupped his face, stopping his stream of babbling words.

"You did nothing wrong, Bunny," Kotetsu answered softly. "The problem lies with me." He breathed in deeply. "I loved my wife Tomoe. Up to now, I still do. But…I love you too. It feels so right to be with you, as I was with her when she was still alive. And, yet, I can't help but feel…guilty…."

"I've never asked you to stop loving Tomoe-san."

"Yes, I know but…" An anguished sob was drawn from Kotetsu's lips, and he drew away from his lover, unable to give voice to his pain. Am I really entitled to this kind of happiness again? What am I going to do if you get taken away from me, just like Tomoe?

As he turned to put some distance between him and Barnaby, Kotetsu literally found himself face to face with the ghost. Nothing could be seen of her features except for an eye peering through the curtain of her long hair.

"Kotetsu-san!" Barnaby shouted in horror.

But Kotetsu stood transfixed before the wraith, unable to move a single muscle. A bead of sweat formed on his brow and trickled down his temple as the ghost slowly raised her hand.

"DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HIM!"

Before her fingers could brush against Kotetsu's cheek, the ghost suddenly vanished. Overwhelmed by fear and his troubled emotions, Wild Tiger sagged to the floor in a dead faint.

Barnaby was about to run to his lover's aid. But then, the wraith reappeared right in front of him. As her icy hand cupped his face, Barnaby felt his consciousness swiftly drained from him.

~~~~~~~~~~

Time passed as Barnaby lay unconscious on the floor. It could have been hours or only just a few minutes. What roused him was a light that seeped through his eyelids. Opening his eyes, he saw that he was surrounded by complete darkness. The light he had seen was hanging before him like a mirror. No, like a window, to be exact, because he could see Kotetsu clearly through it, lying motionless on what was definitely Barnaby's bed in his high-rise apartment. How they managed to get home to his apartment was a mystery to him. His eyes widened in shock, however, at the sight of a pair of hands – his hands – unbuttoning his lover's shirt one by one. To his horror, Barnaby saw that the dark pants have already been peeled off Kotetsu's long legs, leaving only his boxers.

"Kotetsu…"

Hearing that female voice filled with so much yearning, it was then that Barnaby realized that the ghost had taken over his body.

"What the hell are you doing?" Barnaby demanded, seeing his hands pull his lover's shirt open fully, baring his upper body. As fingers caressed the length of Kotetsu's neck and shoulders, he shouted, "Stop touching him!"

"Just sit back and watch, Barnaby. Let me show you how it's done."

"NOOOOO!"

Kotetsu stirred at that moment, a frown creasing his brow, feeling someone touching him. At first, he moved his head right and then left to get his bearings. When his eyelids fluttered open, the confusion was clearly mirrored in the amber depths as he stared at his lover on top of him.

"Bunny?" he asked, dazed. "Wha…what are you doing?" At last noticing his state of undress, he gasped out, "And why am I naked?"

The reply he received, however, were two fingers tweaking his nipples, so that he yelped in surprise. When the man whom he believed to be his lover persisted in fondling him, Kotetsu roughly shoved him off.

"BUNNY! STOP IT!"

A hand grabbed his ankle and pulled him back into a fierce, heated embrace. Feeling teeth nip at his throat, Kotetsu struggled to break free. The other hand went down between his legs, fingers insinuating under the waistband of his boxers in order to reach his hardening length.

Kotetsu was close to tears as he tried to get that probing hand out of his boxers. Already, an inquisitive finger was poking his entrance. "Bunny, please! You promised me you wouldn't do this until I'm ready! Please don't do this to me!"

Helpless, Barnaby pounded his fists at the light, but he could not break through the barrier. "Kotetsu-san! Oh, God! Please! Please don't hurt him!"

"BARNABY, NO! PLEASE!"

Tears streamed down Barnaby's face, realizing that he was going to witness right before his eyes his lover's rape at the hands of a ghoul that had possessed his body.

"What are you so afraid of, Kotetsu?"

That troubled query startled both men. Then, a shocked Kotetsu was pulled close and his lips drawn into a loving and tender kiss. Barnaby could only weep helplessly, seeing his lover return the kiss with equal fervor. When the kiss finally ended, what Kotetsu said next stunned the younger man to the very core of his being.

"Tomoe? Is that you?"

Through Kotetsu's amber eyes, Barnaby did not see his own reflection, but that of his lover's long dead wife. There was such a heartbreaking smile on Tomoe's beautiful face.

"Why are you making things so difficult for yourself and Barnaby?" she asked her husband, with a hint of irritation in her voice. "Why do you continue to refuse the love he so wants to give you?"

"Tomoe, I…I didn't want to betray your memory, the love that we had. I feel that I haven't grieved for you enough, that I don't have the right to enjoy such happiness with Bunny."

"Now where did that silly notion come from? Did you think that I could be at peace, knowing that you've been isolating yourself since I passed on? Did you honestly believe that I could endure watching you risk your life again and again because you have a death wish?"

"But, Tomoe, I don't…"

"Don't lie to me, and not to Barnaby as well!"

Kotetsu turned away in shame, biting down guiltily on his lower lip.

Barnaby thought he knew his lover. But this? He now saw the older man's bravado in a disturbing new light.

Gentle hands on his face made Kotetsu gaze up at the image of his wife reflected in Barnaby's eyes. "Kotetsu, I have no doubt that you will always love me. But, please! Let me go, so that you can move on with Barnaby. Have no regrets. Feel no shame. You are both free to love each other."

Tears began to pour from Kotetsu's eyes as Barnaby's physical form faded away to be replaced by the ethereal image of his beloved wife. Sitting up, he drew Tomoe into his arms one last time.

"I missed you, honey! God, I missed you so much!"

"And I missed you too, dear. But this time, please let Barnaby fill the void that I had left inside your heart."

As Tomoe said this, she relinquished her hold of her husband's partner. Appearing before Barnaby, she reassured him, "All will be well now, Bunny-c han. I leave him to you."

Barnaby lifted his eyes to his lover's image in the light. There was a shy, albeit expectant expression on Kotetsu's face.

A rosy blush coloring his cheeks, Kotetsu whispered timidly, "Happy Birthday, Barnaby! I…I hope you won't mind that I'm your present."

There was a tone of exasperation mixed with impatience as Tomoe prodded, "What are you waiting for, Bunny-chan? Hop right to it!"

Before Tomoe could depart for the afterlife, however, Barnaby raised a beseeching hand to her. "Could you please…stay…just for a little while?" His face turned red as he added, "I want to make sure that…you know…"

Tomoe knew what the young man was struggling to ask. Admittedly, it has been a long time for her since she had… A sly grin went up the corners of her lips. She was still THE premiere expert on all things about Wild Tiger.

"Sure. Why not?" Tomoe said, winking. "It is your birthday after all."
