It was the most beautiful place either of them had ever seen.

Shinou had said to Daikenja that he'd discovered it on his travels; on the quest to find a peaceful site for Shin Makoku. It certainly was that - secluded; hidden between towering cliffs with only a thin, overgrown trail as access. The light filtered down through a sparse but green forest of trees with a clearing to the side which had the most magnificent waterfall as its centrepiece. The sound of the cascading water was at once soothing and stirring. If one could fall in love with a location, this would have many suitors.

"It's beautiful," Daikenja stated simply as he gazed upward toward the clear sky, past the smooth rock face.

"It is. The water is like your hair," Shinou said, watching only his Sage.

Daikenja raised his eyebrows at the Maou. "The water is not black."

Shinou smiled, his eyes twinkling and his lips twitching. "It is dark against the rock but that is not the comparison I meant. I love the way it flows," he continued, sliding his fingers under the smooth sheet of the Sage's hair. "The way it falls straight down; elegant and alluring."

"You see all that?" Daikenja sounded sceptical.

He was used to Shinou's flirtatious ways but it was still difficult for him to accept that the Maou found him so attractive. Years of being ostracised because of his looks all his life had dulled his ability to accept such compliments.

"All that and more," Shinou said smoothly, letting the dark hairs fall freely from his fingers.

He came around until he was standing in front of the Sage. They were about at eye level.

"You know how I have always felt about you," he touched Daikenja's cheek lightly. "The feelings merely grow stronger with time. You are exquisite and your beauty is unsurpassable."

"Now you're pushing it a bit far," Daikenja reasoned but he met Shinou's steady gaze with clear eyes.

Shinou gave a small shrug. "It is how I feel. If I express myself in terms beyond your imagining then that is just my way."

"Oh, I know very well your way," Daikenja returned with an amused shake of his head.

"Indeed," there was a hint of a smirk. "And so you know what comes next."

"I do," Daikenja ran his long fingers down Shinou's arm, looking thoughtful.

Shinou circled him again. Behind him, he deftly removed Daikenja's robe. The Sage closed his eyes, silently enjoying the gentle way that Shinou unclothed him. The clearing held a warmth so he did not shiver at being naked. When he opened his eyes again, they were both bare-skinned. He took a moment to look over Shinou's toned body before his eyes met his lover's again.

Shinou smiled and he held Daikenja's hand as they walked together to the waterfall. A sparkling lake had formed at its base but between that and the cliff face was a smoothed out platform, also made of rock but the constant beat of the water had made it lose any sharp edges.

Beads of water glistened in the air around them as the spray of the water falling splashed upon their skin and hair. From here a rainbow could be seen, caught between rock and water as the sunlight struck it. It just about took the Sage's breath away at the sight of all the natural beauty that surrounded them. The warmth of the sun was soon tempered by the streaming water; cool as they walked under the veil.

Daikenja sighed in pleasure. The mix of sensations was pure bliss. Combined with the touch of Shinou’s fingers now, the Sage thought that if this never ended, he could be happy. It was so nice to have this reverie after all the chaos of recent times. This may be a brief respite only. Worse was sure to come - but that was for the future. Not now. Not to intrude upon this perfect moment in time.

Shinou was behind him as the water tumbled over his shoulders. Shinou's lips were there too, as if following the flow of the water. The kisses moved over his shoulders and down his back halfway then back up the other side until they were at the side of his neck. It was like they had all the time in the world and nothing else mattered. It was a pleasant, if unrealistic, thought. Daikenja sighed again, pleasure clear in his tone. Shinou could be so contradictory. At times so gentle; other times desperately rough with him, but always with unmistakable passion.

Fingers now glided down his chest, fondling a nipple before moving on, down his belly to between his legs. Shinou's fingers played teasingly down Daikenja's shaft, twisting delicately in the soft hairs above before rubbing a thumb over the head. Daikenja moaned in longing but Shinou's fingers continued further down, slipping between his thighs, teasing the sensitive skin with expert strokes. Daikenja did shiver now, but never from cold or fear. There was only the pleasure and anticipation here.

The kissing restarted on his neck and shoulders as the fingers trailed over his thigh. They kept moving around until he felt them probing and exploring his backside. One finger gently pushed its way inside of him, making him moan even more. He leaned back against Shinou, inviting him to do more.

Shinou's finger moved within him, teasing at sensitive spots, causing him to almost buckle. He shuddered, moaning, as his cock stirred and hardened further.

It was then that Shinou's other fingers grasped him again, encircling his length. Daikenja gasped at how tight was that grip. He shuddered again.

"Oh, please...," he groaned, knowing that the teasing would only intensify now. Shudders ran through him as the tension built. The tight fist preventing his release, even as fingers teased him more.

"No... no more... I can't...," he gasped, then Shinou's fingers slipped out of him. The grip was still firm around his cock.

"Your turn," Shinou said with a slyness Daikenja knew only too well.

The Sage took some gulping breaths. He knew he had to calm his body down. He wanted so much to let go but... control, control. He briefly closed his eyes, willing his erection to at least not be so painful.

Shinou soon relaxed his hand as he felt Daikenja calming. The dark haired man was still very much aroused and hard but the tenseness and urgency had vanished. Shinou admired that will. He was not so easily able to restrain himself in matters of a sexual nature.

Daikenja turned. Shinou met him with an eager kiss. Their lips caressed each other; tongues licking playfully until their mouths connected in a deeper way. Shinou, already highly excited by their earlier endeavours, groaned heavily into Daikenja's mouth. The sound made the Sage pull back but with his own mischievous glint in his eyes.

His turn indeed.

His hands slid down Shinou's taut body as he knelt down before his Maou. Hands lightly gripping Shinou's hips, he used only his lips and tongue to tease Shinou's hardening cock into his mouth. He took it in with care and attention, a nimble tongue licking and toying with the sensitive head while his lips moved around the shaft. Shinou moaned wantonly, fingers tangling in Daikenja's long hair. It wasn't long before he too became painfully erect but he held himself back for now, wanting to prolong the exquisite pleasure of that mouth around him.

Daikenja looked up at Shinou's face. The man was always handsome but the look of bliss on his face made him glow. He suckled more on the head, drawing lengthy groans from the blond. When he thought that Shinou couldn't take any more stimulation he abruptly stopped.

Shinou now groaned in disappointment. "Playing with me... You know that that just leads to trouble," he winked.

Daikenja gave him a smile that could be read in many different ways then turned and suddenly jumped into the small lake. Shinou made a sound of surprise but recovered quickly, diving in after him. Daikenja swam a short distance, gazing back with an expression daring Shinou to follow. He did, without a thought.

"You are in for such a pounding when I catch up with you," Shinou said, his voice now overly flirting. They both knew in what context this pounding would be.

Daikenja laughed softly and waited. He hadn't given up the brief chase. He just wanted to feel Shinou again. He put his arms out as the Maou approached and Shinou embraced him with a kiss. Their legs entwined under the water, each feeling the strength of the other's erection. Their desire for each other was so powerful now; they both felt a heady rush from the contact as they kissed, swirling around in the cool water. It was easy from this position to shift around and find the right point of entry. It seemed so smooth as Shinou's cock glided inside the tightened passage of his Sage. So perfect as if their bodies had been custom made for each other. Daikenja arched back in the water, his arms still embracing his lover as his hips pressed forward, taking him all in. He cried out in pleasure as Shinou thrust repeatedly; first quickly then slowing down then quickening again until they were both breathless from the intensity of it.

Shinou's hand snaked between them, clutching the Sage's cock tightly one more. Daikenja shuddered violently and let out another cry. He had been so close. Shinou squeezed harder, letting that tension build up again. There was no restriction on his own cock now as it thrust forcefully in and out of that wonderfully tight heat. It enveloped him, from his erection to the pores of his skin and to the tips of his fingers, that tingled in an amazing way. He thrust in so hard as he came that it tore more cries from the Sage; cries laced with frustration but ultimately of heightened pleasure. He whimpered once Shinou had stopped bucking against him, desperate for his own release but Shinou's hand kept him from it.

Shinou kissed those trembling lips and moved slowly inside of Daikenja again, this time his fingers began stroking his lover's pulsing cock. He was rewarded with a contracted tightening around his own still hard cock as he finally let the Sage orgasm. They moved together, fluidly in the water. Daikenja's body climaxing causing Shinou's to react, bringing another series of powerful shudders rocking through them both. He thrust into him again until they were both spent.

Clinging to each other and gasping, they stayed that way for what seemed a long time until they disentangled themselves and after another round of more gentle kissing, swam their way back to the grassy side of the shoreline.

The Sage wrung his hair out as he sat on the edge of the lake. Shinou watched him, distinct admiration in his eyes. "You really do belong in this place."

"Stop it," Daikenja said benignly as water dripped down his back. "You really do need to find somewhere else to look."

"I don't want to look at anyone else. Not really," he added the last as they both knew that Shinou had a wandering eye.

Daikenja sighed and rested back on his hands. "It is a pity to leave here. We can only hope it remains unspoiled by the wars."

Shinou nodded. "It should be treasured," he kept his eyes on his Sage as he said this.

There was a long pause before Shinou spoke again.

"What would I do without you?"

"You'd be all over the place, that's for certain," Daikenja replied with good humour. He was sure Shinou would survive, if not in such an organised way.

Shinou stretched out, letting the sun dry his skin.

"Would you think badly of me if we remained here and never went back?"

"Yes. You have responsibilities."

It was Shinou's turn to sigh, but discontentedly.

"Responsibilities... The bane of my existence, but, as always, I will do as you say, my guide. My beautiful Sage."

Daikenja gazed across at the waterfall, his face calm and unreadable but the words moved him deeply inside.

They were one - in the way that they were somehow incomplete without each other. They were meant to be and there was no denying that. Shinou gave Daikenja purpose and Daikenja gave Shinou support and advice, which so far had without fail been the right advice to fulfill their greater purpose.

That purpose could stay on hold a little longer. They each enjoyed the rushing sound of the waterfall. It was as fleeting as their time together would ultimately be and they knew it. Ever flowing but ever changing.

Tomorrow would bring the unavoidable future, turning serenity into chaos again and it was something they were prepared to face.

Together one last time.
