Passionate Falls

The musical sound of falling water greeted the crown prince of Eden as he entered the royal bathing chamber with his new slave in tow. Looking fondly out of the corner of his sapphire eyes at his charming companion, Kagetsuya paused in the doorway so Chihaya would have a chance to look around. The bathing chambers were worth looking at, with a working miniature replica of a mountain waterfall at the far end of the pool that had been fashioned to look like a natural hot springs. Besides it gave him a chance to admire the gentle beauty of Chihaya's heart shaped face and the elegant curves of his slender form that weren't hidden by the fluffy lavender robe he was wearing.

Keeping close to flaxen haired master, Chihaya took in the grandeur of the baths through wide amethyst eyes. He had heard stories about this place from the few slaves who had been lucky enough to see it. The stories paled in comparison to the real thing.

"The water is dancing." He breathed in awe as he watched the clear water splash and flow from one artfully arranged rock to another creating an ever moving web of crystal light filled spheres that glimmered with all the colors of the rainbow. Chihaya was careful not to turn his head too fast as he glanced back at his master, conscious of maintaining his poise and grace for Kagetsuya. There were strangers here, he had seen them as he entered the room with his master and Chihaya wanted to make certain that the prince never had a reason to be anything, but proud of him.

"How lovely." Kagetsuya replied softly without looking away from his little lover.

"That it is," Chihaya agreed as he turned his gaze back to the waterfall. He was startled when a long arm wrapped itself around his chest pulling him back into Kagetsuya's embrace.

"The waterfall is lovely, but that wasn't what I was referring to." Kagetsuya's breath tickled the pale curve of Chihaya's right ear as the prince nuzzled the side of his face.

"You say the sweetest things, master." A soft blush of pleasure suffused the slave's cheeks at the compliment.

"Your highness!" Two voices called out. Both master and slave looked in the direction the voices came from.

Two women dressed in the serviceable and sturdy clothing of royal servants approached the pair. The younger of the two, a short brown hared girl with a doll like face and huge green eyes bowed to the prince. "It would be my pleasure to serve you today, your highness."

"Thank you Sarah for your kind offer, but that won't be necessary. Chihaya will be helping me today." Kagetsuya explained with a polite smile.

Sarah dropped her shoulders in disappointment when she glanced over at the prince's companion and saw the slave collar around Chihaya's neck.

Well, so much for getting her hands on the crowned prince without anyone yelling about impropriety. Now that the prince had a slave he was off limits. Why have the bath attendants attend you when you already had your own personal slave? It was too bad though; Kagetsuya was a very handsome man.

"Stop moping Sarah and go get everything ready for the prince and Chihaya." The older woman remarked with a gesture of a long slender arm towards a table laden with fragrant soaps and oils. Sponges and brushes of various sizes and colors filled a compartment that hung from the bottom of the table.

Snapping to attention Sarah gave a hasty bow to the prince, another to the elder servant, and a smile for Chihaya before she departed to fulfill her task.

Despite feeling shy around these new people Chihaya held himself proudly as the older servant gazed at him appraisingly, pleased to be the slave of such a kind and gentle man.

"Hello Chihaya, I am Ruth and my assistant is Sarah.taketake care of the bathing room." The motherly middle-aged woman with short green hair and bright golden eyes set into a pleasant face bobbed her head in greeting. "I had heard that the prince found himself a slave."

Kagetsuya's left eyebrow lifted elegantly as he stared at the older woman in a mild state of shock,' news really does travel fast in the castle. I haven only had Chihaya for a little while and already Ruth knows about him? It just goes to show you that one should never underestimate the speed at which a rumor spreads.'

"It is a pleasure to meet you." Ruth continued completely missing Kagetsuya's startled expression. "Should you or the prince have any need for anything please feel free to come to Sarah or myself."

Put at ease by her kind manner Chihaya gave an answering bow as his nervousness faded away, dissolving like a soap bubble in water. "That's very kind of you. Thank you."

"So you are polite as well as charming. You are very welcome, Chihaya." Turning to the prince with clear approval she bowed a welcome to Kagetsuya. Ruth smiled as she saw Kagetsuya relax. She could tell that her approval of his choice in taking Chihaya as a slave had been worrying him.

Others wouldn't have noticed it, but to her it was obvious that he had been nervous about her reaction She had taken care of Kagetsuya nearly all his life and knew that he felt more comfortable with her than his own family. His parents never had much time to spare for him so she had become his surrogate mother.

He needn't have worried on account of her though. She didn't much care for slavery, but she trusted her prince as she would her own son.

Kagetsuya was not the kind of person who would willingly do something harmful to someone else without good reason. The little brunette was in the safest of hands. The kindhearted prince had bravely come to the slave's rescue. The prince was such a romantic Ruth couldn't help the smile playing at the edges of her lips. Just by being there Chihaya filled a void in the prince's life. Kagetsuya might not fully understand why he was so drawn to the little angel, but Ruth understood quite well. While Chihaya obviously cared for Kagetsuya, his love was for Kagetsuya the man. Titles
and money didn't impress royal slaves since all of them went to the wealthy or high in power. Kagetsuya treated Chihaya with compassion and love, an action that had bound the slave more surely to him than any chains or physical bonds could have. By giving Kagetsuya someone to love, protect and cherish Chihaya could bring her lonely prince the happiness he so richly deserved.

"Thank you Ruth." The prince said with much gratitude as he took Chihaya by the hand. His life would be a whole lot easier knowing that the woman he had come to regard as a foster mother didn't have a problem with his new relationship. Returning Ruth's welcome with a nod and a happy gleam in his eyes Kagetsuya tugged on his slave's arm. "Come on Chihaya, let's go take a bath. I can feel the warmth of the water from here. It's calling to me."

Chihaya turned sideways to give Ruth a bow as he let his master guide him over the rough grey rock like flagstones to the other side of the pool. He glanced up at the prince when Kagetsuya let go of his hand and started to open his robe.

The prince's hands stopped moving as Chihaya stepped closer reaching out as if to touch the robe. "May I?" He asked with a look. Chihaya waited patiently for the prince to answer. Kagetsuya was so engrossed in admiring Chihaya's delicate features and staring into the depths of jewel like eyes that he didn't realize that Chihaya was waiting for an answer.

"Master?" Chihaya inquired quietly as he took a step forward and saw the flaming sapphires follow the motion of his outstretched hand reaching to touch the soft fabric of the robe. Since it was obvious from the look on Kagetsuya's handsome face that he didn't mind the contact, Chihaya decided it would be all right to help him disrobe. Gently tugging on the tie that held the robe together he started to undo the knot.

The prince grinned at the adorable picture his slave made as Chihaya bowed his dark head over the belt wearing a slight frown. The tiny pink tip of Chihaya's tongue peeked out of the corner of his mouth while the little black angel focused all of his concentration on untying the knot.

"Got it!" Chihaya cried straightening up. His violet eyes gleamed with triumph as the robe fell open to reveal the prince's well-toned chest. Shifting to the tips of his toes Chihaya nudged the robe off of Kagetsuya's broad shoulders in a graceful sweep of his arms that let him catch the garment before it hit the ground. Folding it carefully he looked around for a place to set it as Kagetsuya shivered in the sudden breeze.

Sarah appeared at Chihaya's side with a tray full of oils, soaps, wash cloths and other bathing essentials. "Here is every thing you should need. Let me know if I've missed anything." The servant said brightly reaching out for the robe, "I'll take that for you."

"Thank you, Sarah." Smiled Chihaya in return.

Setting the tray down at the edge of the pool, Chihaya untied his own robe. Shrugging hhoulhoulders he felt the soft fabric slide over his skin. As if unaware of his nudeness the little black angel calmly folded his robe and handed it Sarah who was staring at him in open shock.

"You're a boy!" The servant exclaimed her eyes still glued to the proof of his masculinity as she absently took the second robe from Chihaya.

The men of Eden were exceptionally handsome, but the only word she could use to describe the elegant young man standing unashamedly before her was beautiful. She smiled and chuckled at the sudden panicked look on the little angel's face.

"Don't worry, you don't look that much like a girl. I just expected that his highness," Sarah bowed her head in deference to Kagetsuya," would chose a girl if he was going to buy a slave. Because I was expecting to see a girl, that is what I thought I saw. But now that I've had a good look at you I can see that you're definitely not a woman. You are very beautiful though. You have good taste, your highness." Sarah gave the pair a playful wink before walking back to the other side of the poolroom."

The whisper of Kagetsuya's bare feet against the rockor eor echoed softly in the big room as he wrapped his right arm around the little angel.

"Sarah is right, you are beautiful, " He murmured the breeze created by his breath was warm against Chihaya's neck. With his right hand cupping the tapered line of the black angel's chin, Kagetsuya traced his index finger lightly over the sensitive lips. Chihaya's breath was warm as if flowed against his finger.

Obligingly parting his lips for the curious digit, Chihaya folded his tongue around the finger. Kagetsuya nuzzled against the soft black mane that was so dark it shimmered a deep purple under the defused light filling the room. The prince moaned softly as Chihaya's tongue gently caressed the length of his fingeavenavender eyes blazed with mischief as Chihaya let go of Kagetsuya's hand.

The prince was breathing heavily as he watched his little angel, his eyes dark with desire. "Why don't we go wash off under the water fall?" He suged ied in a husky voice.

Chihaya picked up some soap and shampoo from the tray watching his master to make certain he took kinds the prince would like. When he had what they would need he joined Kagetsuya who was holding out his arm in an open invitation. Linking arms the pair walked slowly over to the waterfall still holding each other.

Holding tight to Kagetsuya's hand Chihaya stepped into the waterfall. He looked over at Kagetsuya with a delighted expression on hise. Te. To actually be standing in such a beautiful work of art was simply amazing. Stepping away from the curtain of water Chihaya opened the bottle of Shampoo a poured some of the sweet scented liquid into his open palm. Setting the bottle down in one of the small openings among the rocks that had been build for exactly that purpose, he lathered up his hands. Chihaya had to stretch to reach the top of Kagetsuya's fair head as his fingers gently kneaded the fluffy soap into the bright blond hair.

Kagetsuya's eyes drifted closed in pleasure as Chihaya's dexterous fingers massaged the light purple shampoo into his scalp. The soothing sent of the lavender shampoo released by the scrubbing motion filled Kagetsuya's senses. The prince let himself relax under Chihaya's ministrations. Bowing his head forward to give Chihaya easier access, Kagetsuya opened his eyes just enough so that he could peer though his long blond lashes. With his head tilted as it was, he could watch the little angel without Chihaying ing aware of his scrutiny. The glow of unadulterated joy that brightened Chihaya's normally radiant visage caused the price's breath to catch in his throat. Awe filled him making his eyes mist at the strength of the emotion he saw take hold of the little angel's expressive face. It was obvious by looking at that open face that Chihaya wasn't just following orders. Despite having known him for such a short time, Chihaya honestly loved him. A wave of primitive posseeneseness came over Kagetsuya as he stared into those beautiful purple eyes. No one had ever done anything for him without wanting something in return. This was the first time someone was happy simply by being near him. If he hadn't already loved Chihaya with all of his heart, he knew in that moment that he would have fallen head over heals. Leaning forward he wrapped his arms around Chihaya's back pulling the startled angel into his arms.

"Eeep!" Chihaya exclaimed as he was suddenly, but gently gathered into Kagetsuya's powerful hug. Wide confused violet eyes blinked slowly as Chihaya looked up into the crown prince's loving face.

"Master?" The brunette asked when the silence continued.

"I think my hair has been scrubbed enough." Kagetsuya letting go of his little lover.. " It's your turn now, Chihaya. Pass me the shampoo."

Kagetsuya had his hands out palm up when Chihaya turned back around with the bottle in hand. He poured some of the sweet smelling liquid into the prince's hands and set the bottle down once more.

Chihaya closed his eyes with a happy sigh as the prince's bubble laced fingers tangled themselves in his black silk mane. He was so very lucky to have a master who cherished him. Someone who made him feel valued and valuable at the same time. It was a new feeling for Chihaya, the strange black winged angel that many of the noble women had scorned. Kagetsuya wanted to touch him as much as he wanted to touch the prince.
Despite being unfamiliar and a little uncomfortable with the all attention Kagetsuya was giving him, Chihaya decided that he liked being the object of the prince's affections.

Content the prince hummed absently as he worked. It was amazing how soft the violet tinted hair was beneath his fingers. Kagetsuya felt great pleasure when he saw the happiness written on Chihaya's delicate face. His heart was completely taken with this fey spirit. As the prince of Eden, Kagetsuya had met many people. None of them had filled his life as completely as Chihaya had. He never let people come too close because he could never forget who and what he was. But Chihaya was different. With one look of his sad violet eyes the shy little angel had managed to slip past the protective shield the prince held over his heart.

Opening his eyes as the fingers withdrew, Chihaya glanced up at his master. Kagetsuya wore a soft smile as his hands, still soapy from the shampoo, twined with the black angels slender hands. "Let's go rinse our hair." The prince suggested offering his arm to Chihaya.

Sensing his reluctance Kagetsuya squeezed his hand comfortingly. "There isn't anything to be afraid of. It's quite safe, and I'll be with you."

Giving Kagetsuya's hand a squeeze in return, Chihaya straightened his shoulders. He knew he was being ridiculous. There was nothing at all to be afraid of. It was just that he had been presented with so many new places and situations in such a short time that he was feeling a little over whelmed. Cautiously he followed the handsome blond under the shining curtain of water.

Chihaya shivered spluttering a little as the chilly water poured over him. It wasn't as cold as a real mountain stream would be, but it wasn't nearly as warm as the water from the hot spring either. Blinking water from his long black lashes Chihaya looked on in wonderment as Kagetsuya's chiseled profile lifted up into the sliver river of water like a flower opening for to the sun. The shampoo ran off the blond tresses collecting to form pale lavender droplets that faded, becoming clear as it dissolved into the surrounding water. His glance wandered down the arched slope of the prince's ivory neck to the well-defined pectoral muscles. The little angel watched fascinated as his master's nipples hardened into hard buttons under the water's cool bite.

Reluctantly tearing his gaze away from his lover's hard body Chihaya turned his head lifting it into the water. Closing his eyes to keep the soap from getting in them he shook his head, rinsing all the shampoo out of his hair. He scrubbed his head thoroughly to make sure he got every last bit of soap. He flinched as the prince's hands settled on the nape of his neck. The hands felt hot on his chilled skin. Chihaya felt his body relax as the
prince began kneading his shoulders. The gentle massage spread warmth throughout his back, setting off tiny tremors of desire that echoed through Chihaya's slender frame. The little black angel looked up into his master's face suddenly finding his temperature rising despite the water. The prince grinned in response; pleased with the effect his massage was having on his little love.

Fitting himself to Chihaya's back, Kagetsuya bent his head forward. Chihaya could feel Kagetsuya's lips curl up into a smile as the prince scattered a line of kissesr Chr Chihaya's shoulder blade. "You look a little cold, Chihaya. Does this help?

"Mmm, I like it very much master." A tender smile transformed the little black angel from beautiful to ethereal.

"I'm glad." Kagetsuya whispered as he gave Chihaya's shoulders a squeeze. Letting go, he let his hands glide down the smooth skin of little angel's arms. Kagetsuya breathed blowing warm air over Chihaya's ear. The brunette shivered as the tension in his loins grew. Kagetsuya wrapped his body around Chihaya's to lend the little angel some of his body heat. He sighed as his skin came into contact with the brunette's wet back enjoying
the way his shaft squeezed between the solid flesh of his lover's sexy derriere. "You seem to be very sensitive to changes in temperature. Why don't we go down into the lower pool now? It is warmer in there." At Chihaya's answering nod Kagetsuya guided his little lover down from the raised rock ledge the waterfall passed over onto a path that led into the pool. Releasing Chihaya, Kagetsuya stepped into the steaming water. Standing at the edge he held out his hand to his small lover.

Taking the offered hChihChihaya gratefully slipped into the warm water of the bathing pool. After the coolness of the waterfall it felt wonderful. He sighed in appreciation as he waded hand in hand with Kagetsuya over to carved stone seats. Instead of sitting the prince reached over to the tray the servant Sarah had left. It only took a glance for him to find the bottle he wanted. Motioning for Chihaya to hold out his right hand, Kagetsuya
poured the soap into his lover's palm.

Chihaya lathered his hand as Kagetsuya poured soap into his right hand. Facing his love, he waited until Kagetsuya's hand was also covered in bubbles. Together they reached out to touch the other's chest. Moving their hands in gentle brushing motions they left a sudsy trail where their fingers had passed. The feeling of the soap against their skin was like the softest lace, feather light and enticing.

A smile spread across Kagetsuya's face as he locked his sapphire eyes onto Chihaya's shining violet orbs. An answering smile appeared on the brunette's full lips and he let his fingers playfully circle his master's nipple without actually touching it

"So that's how it's going to be, is it? Well, two can play at that game." Kagetsuya murmured in a honey sweet voice as he imitated Chihaya's movements.

Laughing Chihaya looked down at his chest as he felt the tickle of pleasure that followed the hardening of his nipples. Kagetsuya's powerful hands changed directions moving lower. As the brunette watched, the prince's hands traced across his abdomen pausing to tease his belly button. Plunging one finger at a time inside.

"Nice," Chihaya moaned effected more by the image the action brought about in his mind than the actual physical feeling. Licking his lips Chihaya felt his groin tighten pleasurably. Run his his hand over Kagetsuya's hip Chihaya began spreading the soap over the prince's back.

Kagetsuya pressed Chihaya close so that their burgeoning erections were trapped between them. "Yes, it is," Kagetsuya replied huskily, grinding himself against Chihaya's soap covered body.

Waves spread out in the water as Chihaya rocked his hips fencing with his golden warrior. Their swords clashed together, hidden from view beneath the water that splashed and swirled around them. Chihaya gasped flailing his arms back as Kagetsuya swept his feet out from under him.

"Shhhhh, Its all right. Hook your legs over my shoulders and let yourself float." The prince soothed as his strong arms supported Chihaya from below. Kagetsuya felt the coiling of passion deep inside as he watched his little lover brace himself against the side of the pool and lift his graceful legs into the air. Positioning them on his shoulders, Kagetsuya took aim and quickly sheathed his sword deep inside the lithe body he was supporting.

"Master," Chihaya cried in ecstasy, pleasure filling every pore of the little angel's body. The temperate water churned round him heightening the sexual tension as Kagetsuya withdrew only to plunge his sword once more into its living sheath. The little angel was so responsive to each thrust that knot of pleasure that Kagetsuya had built up through the bath was beginning to fray filling his body with tendrils of pure ecstasy.

"It feels so good." Aching with need the brunette arched into Kagetsuya's motion his inner muscles quivering against his lover's sword of flesh coaxing a moan from the prince's partly open lips. "Please, please may I come?" Chihaya begged focusing amethyst eyes onto his lover's passion filled expression.

"You are incredibly beautiful when you are aroused, little one. I am glad you are so unusual, if anyone had seen the face you wear now, I never would have gotten the chance to meet you."

The soft entreaty written across Chihaya's tantalizing face was the prince's undoing. "Let yourself go," Kagetsuya said in a throaty whisper as he followed his own advice, thrusting his length into his whimpering lover with abandon. The whimpers became moans as Chihaya's muscles tightened hard around Kagetsuya's shaft. The prince kept his shaft moving despite the incredible pressure. He needed to go deeper, just a little farther.
"Ahhh," His pale head fell back as he held himself in place.

"Mmm," Chihaya breathed as he felt Kagetsuya's release warming him from within. The bucking and tossing of his delicate body stopped abruptly as the little angel stiffened, his legs straining against Kagetsuya's shoulders. All the built up passion releasing in one explosive thrust that would have forced Kagetsuya even further inside if the blonde's shaft hadn't already been buried as deeply as possible.

Withdrawing Kagetsuya glanced down at the water where he could see little pearls of white bobbing up to the surface. Lowering Chihaya's legs to the floor of the pool, the prince bent forward to gather Chihaya up into his arms.

Wrapping his arms around Kagetsuya's neck, Chihaya looked up at his lover with a happy sated smile as the prince pulled him upright. Entwined the couple slowly waded to the side of the pool. Brushing damp strands of hair from Chihaya's face Kagetsuya smiled tenderly taking the smaller man's delicate lips with his own. Breaking away he helped the little angel out of the pool. A blushing Sarah was instantly at their side offering an array of warm fluffy towels for the Prince to choose from.

Kagetsuya selected one towel for Chihaya and one for himself, trying to hide his own blush as he remembered that they weren't alone. It was a little embarrassing to know that they had been watched the whole time, but it was kind of exciting as well. Glancing at the girl out of the corner of his eye the prince smiled. "Thank you Sarah"

Sarah bobbed her head for a reply trying very hard not to look at the prince or his slave as she turned and walked back to her station. "No," the servant whispered under her breath, "thank you, my prin


Kagetsuya's smile widened as the quiet words softer than a sigh reached his ears.
