Chapter 9

Shogun Root in battle (Source)

The sounds of the guns were deafening around them, but the clashes of swords and dying yells were nearly just as loud. Kiichi was wielding his swords with practiced ease. There was something graceful in his moves, as if he was dancing while sending his opponents to the afterlife.

He stuck closer to Corey-chan and their Shogun who joined his men in the fight. It was their task to guard Jim as they were slicing their way through the mass of fighting samurais and American soldiers.

Using the new weapons was definitely a shock to their enemy and Shogun Kato's face wasn't as satisfied while he was sitting on his horse, overlooking the fighting.

"Come down and fight, you coward! Where is your honor?!" That was the outraged Shogun Root yelling on top of his lungs towards the other ruler. It wasn't enough that Kato was conspiring with white men, he also didn't enter the fight like it was custom during bigger battles to encourage the samurai and earn their respect too. So it was understandable that Shogun Root, who was also an excellent warrior, saw red from that, his long and strong arms killing more and more opponents while Corey and Kiichi were trying to keep up and protect him.

The lineup of the battle was not new for the Captain. The pawns with swords run at front. Then the horsemen. The archers are at the side or back aiming at the enemy. This time the side was more crowded as gunmen moved slowly along with the chaotic fight. 

Corey had to place the cannons at important points of the field to be able to make the biggest damage in the lines of the enemy. 

Moving along on foot as well with his sniper gun on his shoulder, Corey kept taking down more and more people. And saving many good samurais to fight longer. Of course, his eyes followed the Shogun and the red and black samurais sticking even more closer to him. And he had to laugh and agree about the outbursts of the Lord. 

Running after the others to keep up with his gun, he saw a target right behind Kiichi. An American soldier was trying to shoot the Shogun with a pistol… Good thing that the Captain was there and shot the moron in the head in no time. He nodded at the Shogun who looked at him impressed.

After slicing a soldier nearly in half, Kiichi swirled around to the sound of the loud shot and quickly realized what just happened. Seeing the Shogun's impressed look, the samurai risked a short and thankful (and proud) smile at Corey before going against another samurai who tried to use them being distracted for a moment. He stood no chance against Kiichi.

The Shogun kept pushing forward, making it harder for his bodyguards to keep him safe. Not that Jim wasn't slicing his fair share of the enemy. But what none of them saw before it was nearly too late was another shot that was fired at him.

Luckily the short red samurai had enough time to jump in front of his Lord to protect him at the cost of his own life too. As his shoulder got hit by the bullet, damaging his armor too, all the sound he made was just a painful huff while one of their own samurais killed the attacker in the distance.

All knew that if Corey didn't take the bullet, it would've hit the Shogun straight in the chest.

"Corey-chan..." the Shogun paused for a brief moment, contemplating on pulling back, but the fierce look in the glowing blue eyes made him deeply proud as well as the words that were gritted through clenched teeth.

"I'm fine, my Lord. Let's keep pushing forward..."

To that the Shogun nodded and they were back in the chaos of the battle.

The Captain tried to keep up with the other gunmen with him. The battle became even more hectic as Shogun Root and his warriors marched unstoppable and cut their way to push back the enemy. 

Corey got more into the front to be able to see the attackers better, and he took down many Americans. Being a bit proud of that inside. It got harder and harder to reload the gun fast enough as the warriors of Kato got desperate and fought with more power. Keeping his eye on the trio as much he could while he practically breathed in gunpowder in his hurry, he just saw an enemy warrior jump behind his samurai. He had to save Kiichi-kun, so without thinking for a second he pushed the gun into his helper's hands and dashed forward pulling his hunting knife out and threw it into the middle of the attacker's chest who fell back dead just from behind Kiichi.

That action wasn't missed by the trio either. And as Kiichi realized that this time it was he whom Corey saved, his eyes and expression softened on instinct while looking into his man's triumphant and satisfied face. That look was telltale, even if it lasted only for seconds before the famous warrior's oni mask was slid back down to protect and hide his face.

But the Shogun wasn't blind and caught it with a light frown before concentrating back on the fight. Though it seemed that after the last stronger and desperate wave of attack, the spirit and force of the enemy were starting to break as the dragon warriors – along with their ruthless leader – kept pushing forward.

Kato – still not joining the fight – wasn't impressed of course. In fact he seemed more and more tense, displeased and worried. When the other Shogun and his bloody samurais were getting too close, he ordered to retreat and soon the signal was given to fall back.

It was a good demonstration of Shogun Root's power. The Lord was not weak as Kato and a few neighboring Shoguns thought. 
The warriors were yelling and cheering loud all the way back to the palace to let all the forest and land hear their victory. 

Captain Corey Beaulieu was a little concerned about the look he caught from the Shogun, though… He now served his purpose, and they accidentally gave some more proof to the leader about their affair with Kiichi. And now as the warriors learned to use the cannons and guns and the battle was won, who knows how Jim-san will feel about sharing his property...

***

Soon the triumphant Shogun and his warriors arrived back to the palace. By then everything was prepared for treating the wounded and give a celebration to all.

The wounded red samurai was taken back to his room to get undressed, his wound treated and body cleaned. The Shogun personally checked on him to make sure he was going to be okay. Then he went to his own quarters to let the servants take care of him too. Luckily – thanks to his two brave and strong samurais, he only had a few smaller cuts and bruises, but his mind was already ahead of him. He was going to have to sit with his warriors and celebrate, although he wasn't that satisfied with the outcome of this battle. He wanted to fight Kato and also had some worries about rumors he'd heard about the Emperor and the changes he wanted to do to his country.

Meanwhile Kiichi helped a bit to the wounded and once he saw that everyone was taken care of, he himself checked on the red Corey before washing himself and changing into clean clothes. He was starting to get exhausted, but it was a good kind of tiredness in his bones. They were successful and he was saved by his love today too. That made the samurai smile to himself as he headed towards the great hall to celebrate with the Captain and his fellow warriors.

The Captain had it more easy with the changing from his uniform. He was already on his way to the hall when he saw Kiichi going to his own room with the servants. Maybe he could have a few words with the Shogun before everyone arrives. 

The place was half-full already and the Captain walked to the Lord bowing before him. "I hope I could serve you well, my Lord," he said with a small smile, trying to search the Shogun's expression.

The Shogun was sitting there sipping on some sake while he was overseeing his men slowly gathering in the hall for the feast and celebration. He was thinking about what to tell them and put aside some worrying news he got before taking his usual seat on his dais.

When the Captain appeared, Jim nodded to him as a greeting and accepting his respect. Waving with one hand he invited the Captain to sit near him so they could talk. A servant girl quickly poured sake for both of them before hurrying off to do the same to the already gathered samurais.

"Yes, you did wonderfully, Corey-san. I was impressed and satisfied with your skills," he said on a calm voice, his face staying unreadable then he drank and let the strong liquor burn its way down. "Thank you for your help. As I promised, you're going to be a free man in the palace. A guest rather than a captive. I'll announce it tonight," he added.

Corey couldn't hide the surprise and moved emotions appearing on his face and he bowed deep before the Lord. 

"Thank you, Jim-san. If you allow me, I would like to stay in the wing where I am now. Close to the waterfall and the shrines. It makes me calm and I like to walk there. I would only ask for some duty to repay… or more like return something from your great gift to me. And maybe a room with a bath…" he added at the end with a little smirk like friends use to do between each other. He was moved and grateful and really wanted to be useful as he learns more of this culture.

Jim nodded again then hummed to himself, stroking his beard a few times, a contemplating look on his face as he was watching the other man. It was clear that he was debating on something then he finally seemed to give in.

"Very well. You can stay in that wing. There's a free room a bit closer to the main palace that would suit your wishes. The bath next to it is what Kiichi-kun uses too. But I doubt it would be a problem for you two," he chuckled a bit more to himself and drank another round of sake, his hazel eyes drifting towards the nicely filling hall.

"Thank you Jim-san," Corey said and bowed low to hide his blush. He rather drank more and looked over the warriors too than to add to Jim's comments. "How is Corey-chan? Are there many wounded?" he asked to be more practical.

"His shoulder will heal, but it's gonna need some time even with the fact that his armor took most of the blow. He's a much stronger man than he looks like," Jim said with a fond look in his eyes, although his face stayed just as neutral under all the facial hair on it.

"Others weren't that fortunate. Many have stepped onto the glorious path of the next life, but not as many as in the enemy's ranks. We have some wounded, yes. But most will fully heal," he said then watched as Kiichi came closer and bowed to the Shogun, who waved to sit on the other side of the dais.

When a servant came closer too to tell the Shogun that everyone who could move were there, he nodded and cleared his throat to which silence fell onto the hall.

"Great warriors of the Dragons! We are here to celebrate yet another victory. You fought well, my samurais. I and your ancestors are proud of you and of those who gave their life today. We are far from eliminating this and other lurking threats, but let this night be loud from us celebrating our victory, life and the dead. Let the feast begin!"

***

The celebration took long and the warriors were drinking and singing almost until dawn. The mood was great and the Shogun joined in too with the singing of the battle songs. Indeed it was loud and all the gods and ancestors could hear about their victory while outside their dead were being prepared for their last journey.

A servant hurried to meet up with the Captain when he went on his way from all the celebration and told him that his room was moved and she showed him where. 

The residence was bigger with a somewhat living room-like space with a small table and they put up his uniform on a rack like they did to samurai armors too. As he walked back, there was a smaller room with – to his surprise – a western double bed awaiting him. He laughed shaking his head and sat down to try out the mattress, leaning back on it with a pleasure-filled loud moan as it treated his back so nicely.

To that a soft chuckle came from the bedroom door that was left open. Kiichi was standing there only with a white towel around his waist, the lean but muscular tattooed body slightly glistening from the bath he obviously just took.

"So this is what jealousy feels like," he smiled wide at the other man then stepped in, sliding the door closed behind him. "This strange bed must be really good if it makes you moan like this..." he said eyeing the furniture and even pushing the mattress down a bit with one hand. "Are you satisfied with your new room?"

Corey looked up with a wide smile and put two and two together. "We can walk between our rooms through the bath? That's very nice. And yes. I love it. Come on… Try it," he said with a playful shine in his eyes and with a swift move grabbed his lover's arm and pulled him down next to him to the soft spring mattress, laughing as he turned the samurai onto his back, lying upon him. "How do you like it?"

"Yes, we can without being noticed," he said, but he didn't tell Corey that it kinda surprised him that the Shogun allowed this. By then Kiichi had picked up on some signs and vibes too that his master was probably clear with the fact that Kiichi and Corey got close. Of course that thought terrified the samurai on some level, always half-expecting that in any minute the Shogun could blow up from that. But so far he didn't say or do anything that would indicate that. Which was a whole new level of scary and confusing to Kiichi.

But for now he just wanted to enjoy what they could have. Because he wasn't sure when that could change in a blink of an eye.

Lying under his warrior now, Kiichi smiled up at Corey, the towel lost somewhere by the corner of the bed. "Hmm... it's very nice. Especially since it comes with you on top of me..." he let his hands caress the still fully clothed man and offered his cute lips for a kiss.

Corey leaned down to kiss the small sweet lips deeply with all his love in it. Sliding a hand down on the wet naked side of his samurai, he adored every muscle under the silky pale skin. 

"I’ve never in my life been so happy and worried at the same time. But I just want to enjoy what we have now… I love you and never want to let you go..." he whispered looking deep into the black eyes. "When can you stay with me again?"

Melting into that kiss and under Corey felt so good. Kiichi could feel that love and care radiating from every move his soldier made. To that the samurai couldn't stop himself from sliding his hands to open and stroke down the clothes from his man's back.

"I feel the same way," Kiichi admitted too and took Corey’s quickly filling shaft into his hand to stroke him a bit urgently. After all, they could've died that day and being in each others' arms was something they both had to treasure.

"I can stay now. Corey-chan is resting... I was ordered to the Shogun for the short remaining time of the night... so I'm prepared..." he murmured, his cheeks coloring more and more. "But he was called to Yuki-san before he could touch me..." Kiichi confessed and true to his words he led Corey's fingers to his entrance that was still wet and loose despite the bath.

It felt so good that his samurai was so needy over him. Corey groaned pleased and aroused from the strokes and circled his hips, rubbing the wet entrance while kissing the long neck of his love. 

"You are very skilled to make me lose my mind for you all the time... I love that…" he moaned and moved to be in position and slide into the very willing body.

Digging his nails slightly into the broad back, Kiichi rubbed himself against that teasing tip, moaning low. "I'm pleased to hear that you love that... but what I love even more is you in me. So... take me already. Make me feel alive again," he panted, his hands sliding down onto his man's naked ass in an attempt to pull him closer thus making that tip finally breach him.

"Please, my love... I want to feel you impale me on your beautiful meat again..." he panted, turning his head to playfully nip at Corey's lips and chin.

"You're so hungry... Just like me…" Corey breathed on a predatory deep tone and pushed hard inside the wet and loose hole. Shivering along his muscular body from the joy spreading in his veins from the feeling how the inner walls of his love wrapped tightly around his throbbing shaft. Gripping the narrow hip with one hand, he kissed and nipped at Kiichi’s neck. "Anything you wish, my love… I need you just as you need me…" he whispered and started to move slowly but steadily, working up a nice pace for them.

Kiichi could only moan in agreement at first, because Corey entering him like that was just too intense. Holding on to the strong body above him he bit down on his bottom lip hard to hold back a loud moan. The stretch was nearly too much, but now he was so very glad that he was prepared because Corey was right: Kiichi was hungry and wouldn't be able to wait any longer.

"You feel so good... keep going, please," he opened his black eyes that looked even bigger from being so aroused. "I was so worried that I could lose you today, but you were so brilliant out on the field. My fierce dragon," he whispered in between moans then he lifted his legs enough to put them onto Corey's shoulders, practically bending himself in half to feel that wonderful thick cock more in his needy ass. "Come on, my dragon. I know you want to take me harder and faster... Do it... I'm yours..."

"My samurai… You're so amazing…" Corey could only mumble from the feeling of want and need from his man. Gripping onto the lean strong thigh, he lifted himself on his other hand and started to thrust hard and fast against his lover's prostate. He felt the urging inside them both and knew they wouldn't last for long. The thick mattress softened the rough moves and was squeaking low, slowly rocking them along with every deep push.

It was definitely different being taken on this soft bed. It was nicer for his back – especially when Corey began pounding him hard and fast as requested. The praising words of his lover made those strong flames and some pride spreading in the warrior fast while he was moaning and panting for air.

Reaching down he took hold of his leaking cock and started jerking himself to push them both closer to their release. It was intense and raw like their emotions for each other.

"Yes... yes, just like that... Right there... Nearly..." Kiichi babbled and pressed his head into the mattress as his whole body arched and tensed in the next moment. He moaned long and low as his abused ass gripped the pulsing shaft hard and his juices shot onto his hand and their bellies as that pure bliss blinded him and bathed his whole being in their flames.

"For the gods…" Corey moaned loud and gritted his teeth as Kiichi pulled him into the sweet abyss of ecstasy and he pumped the jerking body full with his seed, groaning like a beast out of control and shaking as they tried to catch their breaths.

Corey dropped on top of his samurai, kissing the beloved face all over, finding the parted and dried cute lips and claimed them as his for a passionate kiss.

All Kiichi could do was lay there and return the kisses while fighting for air, his stretched and filled ass still throbbing as their bodies were slowly calming down. He put his long tattooed arms around his sweaty man after lowering his legs and clung to him tight, hiding his face in the thick neck.

"I love you. I want to forget everything else. All the worries and problems. I can rest here with you as I'm off duty and you're our guest now."

"I love you so much too. And want nothing else… Just hold you in my arms as long as I can…" Corey smiled moving his head to look at his beautiful man, gently caressing the flushed face. "I will serve under you… How you like that, my Lord?" he asked carefully moving out of the lean body and with a wash cloth by the bedside he cleaned them up.

Moving in a way so that Corey could clean them, Kiichi smiled softly up at him before rolling onto his side invitingly. "I like the sound of that," he said then pulled his man close to him, after putting the cover over their naked bodies. It was always so good to get lost in and wrapped into his man's scent and warmth.

"I'll boss you around good. Now let's rest before someone remembers us," he chuckled a bit and nestled into his man's embrace as exhaustion took over his body and mind. Even later the soreness of his body from the too soft mattress was so worth this.
