Mizuki was not shocked when the other male grabbed his hands with the comment he made. In truth Mizuki was fearing that the reaction the male gave would be violent. Just the simple grasp and moving of his hands sent a little shiver down Mizukis spine so it was little shock to him when he did his next actions.

Reaching out after Alton pulled away he grasped both of the males hands within his, bringing them above both of their heads his other hand grasped a firm chin. Taking some steps forward Mizuki pushed Alton into the rocky wall behind them silencing the males words as he roughly conected his own lips with those of Altons.

Mizuki didnt know what brought the sudden change to him but at the same time he was not really objecting to it. Though the lips below his were a little cracked they were warm and inviting. Mizuki was shocked when at first a slight resistance was met but as he moved his lips upon the others Alton seemed to relax into the kiss.

Mizuki slowed the kiss a little closing his eyes. At the feel of the others muscles relaxing he loosened his grip on Altons wrists letting them fall down. Even as this happened Mizukis hand never left the wall above just as his other hand stayed holding Altons chin in place laightly as he kissed him.

At first he wasn't sure what Mizuki was trying to do. Though it became very apparent after he had him pinned against the rock face with his lips locked with the others. His first reaction was to struggle against this, of course it was why wouldn't he. This .. wasn't right, it couldn't be... Why was Mizuki kissing him let alone forcing himself like this. There was a number of questions that came to mind though after a few mere seconds none of them seemed to matter.

After he relaxed a little Mizuki seemed to loosen his grip on his hands. This made him relax further for some reason. Why was he accepting this at all? As wrong as he thought this was he didn't seem to fight against it. Why! He should be fighting against this everything told him that. Well not everything but part of him said it wasn't right.

After a few moments Mizuki pulled away as he looked at Alton. Both of them stood there for what seemed like eternity. Was he suppose to say something? What was there to say what even happened just now? Confused was the simple word as to what was going on in his head.

Mizuki stood there his lips a little red from the sudden kiss but he just stared at him. Neither of them moved and Mizuki was tempted to make a little comment just to break the silence around them. Though words seemed to die on both lips as all they did was stare at each other.

Soon though the silence began to take its tole on Mizukis mind and he turned with out a word and waded from the water. Placing his garments on quickly he ran away with noting but the wet foot marks of proof that he was even there.

Mizuki had questions in his own mind like why he kissed Alton in the first place but not only that why the other male didnt pull away. He found it interesting that they both seemed to enjoy yet both had questions about the action. Soon Mizuki found himself at the hallow though he didnt go to bed. Instead he walked to the back garden and sat down under the large weeping tree deep in thought.

After Mizuki seemed to pull away and walk off Alton stood there. He couldn't do anything. Why had this happened? Why didn't he fight it why did Mizuki do it. He needed to stop repeating himself in his head as he shook his head finally before pushing away from the rock he had stayed against.

Getting out of the water he put back on anything he was wearing before and started to regain where he even was at. Seemed they didn't really go that far, just high enough to cause a heart attack. Either way that was in the past and he wasn't sure what to do when he saw the other again.

After a bit of a walk he made it back to the Hallow. Though it seemed Mizuki wasn't in the hallow at the moment. He could go seek out the other but for now maybe he needed to give the other space. Hell maybe they both needed space. To admit his head hurt something fierce and he couldn't stop thinking about what had happened.

Mizuki sat there and thought under the tree all night and late into the next day. His mind would not get the image out of his head of Alton with kiss swolen lips. Why was something like that so appealing to him? Well Mizuki knew that males mating in his kind was not unheard of. Matter of fact the most peacefull time in the tribe was that under the two kings.

Mizuki sighed and rubbed at his head realizing that his hair was still down. He had been so distracted he let the long locks lay about un bound. That was not like him. Mizuki growled to himself. He knew that things between them was going to be weird thanks to his actions. But at the same time Mizuki didnt want to take his actions back.

Seeing as Mizuki never came in he sighed to go look for him. Though he never let the other know he did. What did it matter he was a adult he could handle himself out here better then Alton ever could. Though he found Mizuki sitting under the tree in the back. He never said a word leaving the other there. He wanted to go just talk to him say something anything. This was killing his mind with what just happened and then for Mizuki to run off without a word.

Was it him? had he offended the other. Wait what did that matter he was just forced into kissing a guy! He should be complaining more then he was yet.. he didn't want to. He tried to tell himself he disliked the idea but in fact he didn't It s like he wanted it all of this time he had maybe... now he knew his thoughts were confused.

The next day he finally got up and left the hallow and Mizuki to his own thoughts. He was just walking at this point, he didn't leave unarmed but he wasn't planning to go too far either. Just he needed time to breath. Something to get his mind untangled by his thoughts. Maybe this was normal for this world hell if he knew. Though he doubted it was normal there were females here from the sound of it in Mizui's stories about his clan but .. why then did he choose him?

Mizuki was to be the next clan leader after that riddle was solved right? He had to get a female in order to carry the line. Or thats what his thoughts were. He sighed heavily after a while before finding himself back to the waters edge where they were yesterday. He was over thinking this too damn much.

Mizuki sat there and the more he thought on the moments the night before the more he began to get bothered by the idea. Sighing he stood, he needed to cool down a little. With that thought and the thought of his dirty hair that rested all night on the ground he walked into the hallow. Seeing that Alton was not around Mizuki gave a sigh as he grabbed what he needed and left.

Was it silly of him to think that the male would stick around after something like that? Mizuki almost wanted to curse at the thought of pushing Alton away like that.

Mizuki was so deep in his own thought that by the time he reached the waters edge he was undressed and wading into the water before he even realized Alton was there already wet and clean. Looking to the male Mizuki was a little taken back. Altons tanned skin almost hummed with color in the raise of the sun.

Water dripped down dark brown locks to create little ripples in the water below him. Mizukis mouth went dry as it took a moment for the male to notice him though when Alton did Mizuki finaly notice Mizuki they just stood there staring at each other neither knowing the right words to say in the moment.

To be honest when he even noticed that Mizuki was there he felt his heart rate jump. Like he was torn between being scared to move and leaving to get the other the space he thought he wanted. Maybe yesterday was a misunderstanding, maybe thats why the other had run. Either way they just stood there for a moment or two just watching each other. It was almost like two beasts stalking one another unsure of what action or strike to take till one or the other moved.

After a while he finally got the hint that Mizuki wasn't going to make the first move. So instead he did was he moved to leave the area. Or at least thats what his plan was. Sure there was plenty of room but there was no need to make this any more awkward for the moment. Maybe later he could get the other to talk or something.

Yeah probably not, he probably had over a week of the silent treatment again after what happened. Maybe he was just getting in the others way? Even if he did like what happened he'd not admit to it... he wasn't going to live like Mizuki and he didn't even want to stay here. The world was gorgeous granted but just he felt like he had to stop whatever was going on back home. To prevent this happening to anyone else.

As he walked closer to the shore his thoughts kept going back to what happened he couldn't ignore it his body reacted to it and he knew it. what about the others? He did go in for a second kiss after all and had stayed there long enough. Ugh! he finally thought to himself saying it didn't fucking matter he was being stupid.

Mizuki stood there and either of them made a move. Was he to turn away and leave of was the other male going to take it upon himself to remove everything that he was from the area. Mizukis thoughts were answered though as the male moved without a word wading through the water to the shore right beside Mizuki.

Mizuki didnt know what to do or what to say. Everything about the night before seemed so right in the back of his head yet he had no idea if Alton before him wanted it as well. Mizuki shook his head a little to himself. There was only one way of finding out.

Wading into the water he headed towards Alton as Alton reached the rocky edge grabbing for his clothes. Mizuki assumed it was to hide his nakid form from Mizuki as he left the water. Mizuki how ever did not give the male a chance as he reached him.

Reaching out strong hands he grabbed both of Altons hands one in each of his holding him in place as he pressed his chest into the other males back. When he got only a little gasp for a protest Mizuki continued with his actions by switching holding both hands in one above the males head pressing them into the high rocky surface.

Moving in a little closer Mizuki hid his face in Altons neck with soft lips lightly touching the skin there Mizuki moved his free hand down a strong muscled and scared side "Do...you want me...to stop?" Mizuki asked in a husked whisper. He would stop if requested and from there...He didnt know what would take place.

Just as he was about to get freedom from the other he seemed to be get stopped in his tracks. He almost thought he stopped breathing as the other had both of his hands and seemed to bring himself closer. He could struggle.. that was the first thought to get away from the other, but he didn't want to. What was the mater with him!?

He could feel the breath from the other still holding his hands as he kept him there. Was it wrong to think he was enjoying this, he didn't want to tell the other to stop when he asked. Though he didn't want to say keep going either. What was he worried about.. why did it matter they were out here alone anyway. For months it had just been the two of them. Of course this was bound to happen right?

Even as he was trying to sort his thoughts he felt his chest heaving a little trying to calm his heart rate at the moment knowing he was still conflicting within himself on what to make of the present moment. He finally managed to answer the other as she shook his head a little to say no. He was worried if he tried to speak he wouldn't be able to.

Mizuki was right about to pull away when he felt Alton shake his head no. Mizuki was shocked to say the least but at the same time he was glad he didnt. With softly placed kisses and movements from now two free hands Mizuki went to work. Soon he had the male completed and panting hard before him. He could tell that Alton liked maybe even wanted what took place.

Though he didnt take the male before him Mizuki was happy with the out come of the situation. Ignoring his own problem Mizuki took a step back before moving to sit on a rocky ledge near by still half submerged in the water. He had no idea what to say or waht to do after the act that took place so he just sat there waiting for the other to respond to anything.

He hardly felt like moving even after Mizuki seemed to move away and sit in the water.He was still trying to grasp at what just happened. Let alone he agreed to it. The touch from the other even with him just being close why did it feel like his body had wanted or craved it all of this time. He was trying to get his breathing under control when he seemed to come back to the world around him. That just happened didn't it?

He looked over to Mizuki who was still sitting there. Yet oddly he seemed content with what just happened. Was he expected to take care of the other? How did this even work in this case. He had to admit he was still lost and grabbing at straws for what to think on this whole thing.

He moved finally to sit next to where Mizuki was before trying to think of what to say. Nothing seemed right but something had to be said. "So... that just happened.. and it wasn't due to the effects of something I ate.. " It was a lame response to the silence but hell it was better then silence.

Mizuki gave a light chuckle at that before bringing his hair over his shoulder and started to thread his long pale fingers through it "Yes..it did just happen" He said in a light voice before continuing "And no...nothing but your own body was a reaction to what took place" He said with a little nod of his head.

Mizuki was not expecting the male to do anything to him in return heck he was a little shocked when Alton came and sat down beside after what just took place. Though Mizuki did not portest as the other male joined him. When the silence continued on though Mizuki felt the need to brake it so he asked the one question that was on his mind "Do...you regret it?" Mizuki asked slightly.

Mizuki was unsure if the male beside him has had relations with another male before or even for that matter if he wanted to. Though what just took place between them had to mean that he did want it on some level right? How ever confusing that level would be.

That was true enough, even if he had said no he knew he had wanted what just happened. Somewhere it felt like it should happen sooner or later. Why was he so lost on the thoughts though, he had wanted it if not agree to it at that. He shook his head a little trying to settle his mind. He wanted it, and that was ok apparently ... why was he having a hard time accepting it, maybe because of his past.

"huh?" He seemed to question what the other said before he thought about it a second before speaking again. "Nope can't say I do. just taking a little bit for things to setting in my head is all." He oddly seemed relaxed about all of this all of a sudden. Then again why worry about it if they had both wanted what just took place. "You?" Mizuki seemed to shake his head to answer the question. Though he knew that was what the other was going to do.

Though with this he moved a little from where he was before putting a hand on Mizuki's chest pushing the other back a little before his back was rested against a rock face behind him. "Seeing as we both agree.. how about we take care of someone else here.." He wasn't sure if this was too forward or if he was caught up still in this moment. But this felt like something he had to do. He wasn't sure why but he just wanted to, it only seemed fair and the other didn't seem to protest the thought of it.

Mizuki shook his head no as the other reversed his own question. It was true, Mizuki did not regret what just happened and he was glad the male beside him didnt as well. He was how ever a little shocked when the others warm hand connected with his chest pushing him back saying that he himself needed to get taken care of.

While Mizuki really wanted to take up the other males offer he wouldnt just yet. Its not that he didnt want to because he did just Mizuki felt it was something the male beside him needed more then him even though he himself hasent had it in over 40 some years.

So with that thought Mizuki gave a soft smile with his ears hidden in his hair and his eyes half mast he raised a hand and rubbed the side of Altons cheek "Indeed that is the case...but for now this will do" He said leaning in and kissing the male beside him.

After that Mizuki stood and headed over to the water fall lightly cressing a hand over anything of Altons he could touch. Upon reaching the falls he began to wash his hair, leaning back into the spray lean muscles stretched and tail almost wagging in content Mizuki put on a little show for Alton.

It was probably better Mizuki said no to his offer. Knowing how he got... he was just caught up in the moment. That or else he had really wanted to take care of the other. When Mizuki left to go deal with his hair Alton sighed a little before looking away for a moment. Maybe he had said something wrong and that's why the offer was turned down. Eh that could be worried about later he guessed.

Glancing over to where Mizuki was he noticed the other seemed to be almost taunting with his movements. Maybe he was just over thinking things now. It was probably how Mizuki always bathed and he just now was paying attention to details. Heh he should take his own advice and to stop over thinking on things seeing as thats what he had told the other not long ago.

Even if he was over thinking on everything that just happened and from the other day... he wanted what happened. Maybe he had wanted it this whole time and he just didn't pay enough attention to what connection they had between one another. Or it could be a one time thing who knew. A this rate he was just making his head hurt and was just causing further questions.

When Mizuki was done he waded his way out of the water to sit on a rock just outside the water. Here is where he rung out his hair and began braiding it not having the same thing happen twice. When he was finished he dressed before looking to Alton "Well...come on then" He said to him "Or did my hands and lips cause brain damage?" He asked with a tilt of his head though gave a laugh as the other commented on what he had said.

After Alton was out of the water and dressed Mizuki led the way back to the hallow grabbing some different roots along the way. When they reached the hallow Mizuki didnt say a word as he went about grabbing things and setting up what he needed for supper.

Soon a fire was roaring before them with a pot hanging with some water in it. From there Mizuki began to brake up and add the different roots he collected on the way to the now steaming water. He then added some different herbs as well as some meet before stirring it and letting it sit.

This is where Mizuki grabbed the little block of wood off to his side and the stone knife. Slowly he began to fut the wood away widdeling another figure though not knowing the out come. Mizuki really had no idea what to say to Alton infront of him but he knew that the silence was not a good thing and that he needed to brake it "So..." Mizuki said not looking up from his carving "Do...you like it here?"

He shot a quick glare at the other when he said the brain damage comment. "Nothing permanent." He shrugged a little before moving from where he was to get dressed as well instead of staying here and freezing himself in the process of thinking. He could think later like tonight when he probably would get no sleep at all.

After they were both back at the hallow it seemed like a odd tension was in the air. Not really a bad tension but there was still something there. Like both sides seemed to not have anything to say yet something needed to be said. He hated the silence normally but in this case he had to admit he rather liked it as it gave him time to sort his mind. Not that this was going well at all.

After Mizuki had everything set up and was working on what seemed to be a new carving he flinched a little as the other spoke up. "wha-" He started to ask before it clicked in what he had asked. "I don't really have anywhere else to go do i?" He laughed weakly at the response he had given. "I do.. but.. I do want to go back at times." He noticed Mizuki seemed to glance up from his carving when he spoke like he did.

"Not because I want to leave here, but because I want answers." He seemed to leave it at that no need to worry the other just yet. He did get transmissions once in a while from the other side.. information that made him worry for the sake of this world. He really had grown attached to this place he didn't want to see it end up like his home world.

Mizuki didnt know what to say at that. I mean truth if you have lived some where from majority of your life then moved...your heart would long to be back with what it knew. Mizuki knew that well enough so he didnt blame the male before him "I understand how that is" Mizuki stated with a nod of his head as he looked back to the now taking shape block of wood.

"At first...I hated this place" Mizuki said "So lonely and dark" Mizuki said as he took a moment to stir the soup before him. "Now..." Mizuki said stopping all actions "Its no longer lonely...nor are my days constent darkness" He said sloftly continuing on with sculpting the figure in his hands.

As the conversation seemed to die with his words Mizuki stopped his actions as he looked down at the figure within his hands giving a soft smile "The great mother has plans for all" He said before placing the figure infront of Alton for the male to see "Fates though...tend to interwind" He said before taking his eyes off of the figure he just carved.

The figure was of the two of them, backs pressed together standing tall. Mizuki faced left with his staff held perfectly in his left hand as the right was ready to cast any spell requested in any second. Behind Mizuki stood Alton with double blades in his hands and a stern look on both faces. Though the thing that made Mizuki think hard was the fact that his long tail was wrapped around Altons stomach and chest keeping the male tight.

In Mizukis culture they had certain people or prophets that could tell the future or give hints as to the right path to take by doing different things. With Mizuki he was only able to tell if the path he had just taken was the right one by the carving he did after a choice had been made, though Alton nor Mizuki knew of this.

"Heh.. I've moved around so much I don't really think I call anywhere home. Not really anyone I miss back there." It was true enough even if the other knew how he flt it didn't matter, he had lost what he treasured back then. Though maybe everything did happen for a reason, maybe this was suppose to be his second shot at a life with meaning. Who knew... maybe he'd have his answers someday.

He listened to Mizuki as he spoke about how he disliked this place when he was first sent here. But it seemed he didn't now, to be honest Alton didn't either after they got over the rough patch at the start where he thought Mizuki might kill him at any second anyway. At least he felt like he belonged here for some reason, maybe it was because of Mizuki. Just like the other seemed to enjoy his presence.

When the carving was finished Mizuki seemed to speak a little more as he set it down. Alton tilted his head a little looking at it. He couldn't get over when the other did this. So absent minded and yet he carved something so detailed. "Maybe.. " He said before looking over towards the other. "I'm not sure I agree with her if she's going to go and try to get me on one of those damned scaled birds... "

He was more then serious about not getting on them but he would have to admit things were connecting together. Maybe there was some higher being watching over the beings here and guiding them.

Mizuki actually full oput laughed at that comment. It had been along time since something made him laugh as hard as he did though when he began to calm down he smiled whiping his eyes "Yes that was a wrather failed attempt of humor from the great mother" He spoke slighty as he got his breathing back to normal with a sigh "Though just because one failed does not mean another will" He said with a smile and a nod of his head.

Though when Alton began protesting Mizuki smiled and interupted him "There are other creatures we choose to bond with besides the Draken" Mizuki said with a nod of his head "In truth very few clan members can bond with Drakes" He spoke "Most often train or bond with the Nekkos of the north" He spoke explaining that the beast that tried to kill alton before at the waters edge was a nekko.

"Though they are more hot headed...so a perfect match for you!" Mizuki said with a little bit of mirth to his voice as he dished out the now ready food into some wooden bowls before giving Alton one with a smile.

"failed huh.. she has poor humor in my book." He really had his reasons to hate flying though he probably would never tell Mizuki why. It was a good enough reason, one he was lucky to have walked away from. "I'll gladly stay on the ground if I can help it or have any say.." Climbing was different then flying, at least climbing you could control it were in the free sky.. if something went wrong you prayed it righted itself.

After the explanation from Mizuki and then the next comment he glared at him a little. "So choices are a scaled bird or a cat that has a paw bigger then my head.. fantastic! Where do I put my will so after I get murdered someone will know I left behind nothing of value." He was kidding but those were rather grim looking odds. Something told him the bonding process wasn't anything to laugh at either.

Taking the bowl he shrugged a little before speaking again. "Though I suppose I don't have to worry about such things,I really doubt that whatever they did to me before dropping me off in this world and nearly letting a plant eat me in the first five minutes of being conscious, includes whatever you all need to bond with anything." He probably had a point seeing as his blood was still part human, well both blood and body. there was a number of little stunts Mizuki had taught him he had to work at due to a lack of extra balance.

Mizuki gave a little chuckle at the plant comment "Your lucky that was a baby one" He spoke up "The larger ones...um they do something that you would probably get night screams from" He said slightly looking to the male. Thats when he got a questioned look and he smiled continuing "The fully growen ones ten to um...How do I word this" Mizuki said thinking out loud before he smiled "Oh yes they tend to mate with what they catch"

Mizuki sat there and watched as the confused look on Altons face changed from questioned to realization to shock so fast he was shocked the male didnt faint. "We often have to rescue males and females alike from these plants that keep them for...long amounts of time" He spoke "The toxen they carry within the thorns causes fever induced...um" He had to think again "Fever induced feelings of plessure?" He said with a little tilt of his head "So sensitive touch, light headedness, and completion" He said with a little nod of his head.

Of course his expression changed, he had heard stories of such plants to do that... but non that were real. ".... your joking right..." Of course the other wasn't joking, things here that were just rumors back home weren't so here. Great plant rape really could happen here, thats not something he was going to admit he looked forward to watching out for.

As the other listed all of the things the toxin did he shuddered a little at the thought. "Explains a lot as to what was going on with the 'baby' one as you called it... I think I've made up my mind i'm going to live out the rest of my short life in here to prevent it from being shorter." He was joking with that but really he wasn't sure he wanted to test his luck twice against those plants.

"Heh.. least here they probably don't use the plants for any twisted ideas like they would if anyone from my world got a hold of them." OR at least he hoped they didn't here. That would probably be on his top five worse ways to die list. Death by plant, though not just plant. Death by pleasure inducing plant. Yeah much worse.

Mizuki gave a smile "I think most of what we concider normal maybe new or shocking to you" He said as the other commented on the plant though as he continued Mizuki could not help the next thing he did. Leaning forward he placed his arm so his elbow rested on his knee then his chin rested on his hand "Well...I mean the toxin has its uses..." He said with half lowered eyelids and a silky tone of voice.

In truth Mizuki had always wanted to use the toxin to his own advantage towards that of a mated partner but all his life he never had a mated partner only that of his own actions did he ever get completion. "Its something I always wanted to try" He said softly with his tail flicking off to the side in a playfull matter due to his thoughts.

That was probably true enough as to what Mizuki had said. Alton was still learning how a lot of things worked here though he never thought that using that type of plant would be one of that that was certain. At first he thought the other was joking, there was a number of times he would common on something Alton said and then laugh about how he believed it. This didn't seem to be the same case though.

He watched the other as she seemed to speak again saying that he had always wanted to try it. "It's just the toxin not the plant right? I am not agreeing to any experiments where the plant has control." That was a mixed answer half way saying he was willing to try it but yet not at the same time. Really the toxin wasn't too bad if it was along the effects of the one plant he had run into, plus if it was controlled that would help matters a bit more.

"Though the way your looking at me worries me a bit with me saying that..." He said noticing the tail of the other and how it seemed to be rather content with whatever thoughts that lay behind those eyes.

Mizuki smiled as the other male continued to speak on how if it was just the toxin he would be okay with it. This made Mizukis heart jump a little he had always wanted to try this toxin to not only document the full effect but to have fun with it as well. "Oh no...it wouldnt be the plant" Mizuki said before standing and leaving the room.

Comming back he sat back down though this time to the side of Alton with a little jar in his hand that had pink like goo in it "We wouldnt even have to find the plant" Mizuki said with a smile "I always wanted a test subject but...never found the right one" He said before looking at Alton "Until now..." This was Mizukis way of telling the male he liked what was happening between them and he wanted it to continue.

He was going to question why the other got up and left the room but he got his answer soon enough as the other returned with something in his hand. He had a good guess at what was in the vial as the other sat down beside where he was. He wasn't sure he liked what he had said anymore. Maybe his mouth finally did get him in trouble like he was always told as a teenager.

though he shrugged a little like his thoughts weren't against him as he spoke. "I'm already a test subject remember? What could this hurt." A few things probably though he wasn't sure he liked the way Mizuki was talking about this little 'test'. At the same time he oddly did, like he wanted this to go on and the other seemed rather into this idea that was for sure.

Mizuki gave a little frown at that comment but he replaced it with a smile at the thought that he was given permission to try "Alright then" Mizuki said slightly before picking up the stone knife he had before. The easiest way to get it into the system with the quickest effect was thought a cut of some form normaly on the neck or chest to get to the heart fastest.

Though Mizuki thought that to fast to the heart would be a bad thing so instead he opted for the neck explaining to Alton that he would need to make a little cut inorder to get the toxin within the males body at a timely rate. When he was given the okay again he moved forward sitting on his knees. Opening the little jar he raised the knife to the side of Altons neck.

"Sorry..." He whispered all to himself as he made a little slice there on the tanned skin. Mizuki then dipped a finger into the cool pink jelly before bringing his finger up and applying the goo to the cut on the males neck. This is where Mizuki sat back and watched "It will take a few moments to kick it...but you will know when it does" Mizuki said with a soft smile.

He didn't know the other was that eager to try out this little idea. Before he had a chance to second guess what he had said it was already too late to say that maybe they should wait till another day to try this. He still remembered what the last run in with the plant did he wasn't sure he trusted even just the toxin. Though at the same time he doubted anything too drastic was going to happen.. if so Mizuki probably knew a way to reverse .. he hoped.

Ok so he could have said no to the whole cut deal but he sort of saw that coming and at this rate he felt bad if he turned him down now. Besides to admit it he was a bit curious as well as to what this was going to bring about. "Heh .. I'm sure.. " Now for the waiting game.. even if it was just for a few moments he still felt a little on edge about this experiment. Though he had a right to be a little worried, the first encounter with a baby plant and he was almost killed.

A few moments was right he knew as soon as his head started to bother him that the stuff was working, though he didn't want to admit to that just yet. Though maybe holding out wasn't the best idea either as he tried to keep his breathing and everything under control, to think on this too much would mean his heart rate would go up and make the toxin go through his body faster.

Mizuki sat there and watched Altons body language as he sat before him. Mizuki knew the moment the toxin took effect just from the slight fidget the other made. He could also tell by the way the breathing seemed a little to even. Yep it was time to try his little experiment out and he was more then happy to do the next steps for the other male.

Moving Mizuki moved to a kneeling place behind Alton with a smile. When the other male asked what he was doing he hushed him saying it was alright. This is when Mizuki placed his hands on each one of Altons arms before asking in a low voice "How dose my touch feel...?" He said before moving down and placing a light kiss to the back of the males neck. He knew right away the feeling of that one as a hitch to the males breathing was a quick answer to an unspoken question.

He knew he was fighting a losing battle but it was worth trying. He knew as soon as he let on any hint that it was already working Mizuki was going to proceed with his little experiment. The thought of it alone worried him a little to be honest but he wanted it. Or he to want it a little seeing as he oh so willingly agreed to this in the first place.

When the other seemed to move he started to question him but was told to hush. Fair enough, he wasn't in much of a state to talk anyway. Not when he was trying to focus a little to relax and to stop over thinking on everything. Oh course the others next actions didn't need to have a voiced answer for Mizuki to know that the toxin was working. He almost had to laugh in his thoughts when he tried to give some smart comment and failed without a word coming from his mouth.

He had a feeling Mizuki knew the answer to his question without him saying anything though seeing as his breathing increased with even the slightest touch from the other. The kiss nearly mad his head spin, sure he knew the effects of the plant from before but this wasn't what he was expecting, not that to even just to get a brush from the other was enough to cause him to feel weak.

Mizuki watched as the other male stiffened to his simple touches and the light brush of lips to the back of the others neck made the male shiver a little. Okay so the effects were a little higher then what Mizuki first thought them to be. So with this thought Mizuki thought it was time to change tactics a little to see just how far the toxin would take something as simple as touch or even pain to the next level.

Moving so he now sat infront of Alton, Mizuki then grabbed the males hand and held it clasped within his own. At the questioned look of the male before him he gave a little smile "Test two..." He said before making a light cut on the other males hand watching as even the light slit brought about a wave of whatever from the toxin but Mizuki didnt stop there.

Taking light fingers he gathered the blood that began to pool in the palm of Altons hand where the slit was made. After that he lightly drew different patterens on the up turned palm before bringing it to his own lips and giving the light cut a kiss better as his hand found a place on the other males thigh while his tail seemed to creep about starting to curl around the males waist bringing the two closer.

Mizuki looked to Alton with a smile on his face that was soft, passion filled but also a smile that said he had some evil plans brewing in that head "How do you feel?" Mizuki asked as he moved a little closer his knees now brushing those of Alton. "Tell me whats the matter" He said slightly "Do you feel hot, itchy...bothered?" He asked the last with a little less of breath making it seem needy.

He wasn't sure he liked the idea of a test two. Not with the smile he was getting from the other, really he was questioning what he had gotten himself into here. Though it was a bit late now to back out seeing as the toxin was already effecting his thoughts more then he wanted to admit and even with training he couldn't control all of his reactions from what the other seemed to be 'testing'.

He wasn't sure why the small slit had caused a shiver, though he was going to blame the toxin for sure. If the adult plants used their pray for .. whatever means he was sure that this reaction to pain was due to that. He wasn't into pain so this was something he wasn't expecting it was a odd feeling wanting to cringe yet enjoying it at the same time.. if Mizuki had asked him how that felt there would have been no way he could have worded it.

Listening to the other speak he almost wanted to ask if he really had to tell him how he was feeling at the moment. He was already trying to control his breaths as it was let alone how the rest of his body did as if it was craving the other to do more. Even just simple touches seemed to be almost to the point of being soothing.

Seeing as Mizuki continues and his voice almost seemed to be tormenting as he spoke Alton looked away a moment before speaking a little under his breath. "I think you know and your just making me say it." Mizuki seemed to grin a little hearing his words but still edged him on to say what he was feeling. "Bothered is a understatement... " He finally managed to get out not really wanting to admit to any of it. Though he also knew this was a losing battle.. and it was happening at a rapid rate.

Mizuki smiled to himself as he watched Alton squirm about before him. It would seem that the effects of the plant even with just a little amount was something that was to be taken with thought. "An understatement you say..." Mizuki said to him as he watched the color on the males cheeks change from the healthy tan to a flush pink.

Mizuki then stood and left the room. He went about grabbing different things before returning back to Alton and sitting down beside him once more. By this time the other males breathing had picked up a little and his hands fidgeted in his lap rubbing against one another and the males thighs.

Placing the objects down before him Mizuki smiled. He had a different variety of things. One was what seemed to be a feather plume of a bird, a strip of furred clothe and last was two large bowls filled with water. One was steaming the other was ice cold.

"Well then...shall we see what different things do?" He asked with a little tilt of his head before he grabbed the feather plume. Moving a little closer he lifted the plume and ran it softly just touching the skin over the males arm in a teasing fashion. Mizuki smiled as he cought the hitch of breath from Alton but his smile grew as the color in the cheeks darkend and the head was moved to the side. So that one worked.

Next Mizuki placed the plume back down beside him before grabbing the Altons hands within his own. This was something he was courious about. Turning the males arms to reveal the underside of each he did his next test. On his left arm Mizuki ran his nails lightly down the skin noticing the shiver that moved through Altons body.

On the other arm he was not so gentle. Raking his nails down his other arm Mikzuki left four red streaks behind him. As he finished he couldnt help but lean down and press soft kisses to each one of those up turned lines. "Dont be afraid to voice what you feel..." Mizuki said in a whisper his lips moving over the up turned arm as he spoke.

Not that he was given the chance to turn down this idea of Mizuki. Then again he wasn't sure he could have if he wanted to. It wasn't so bad before when the plant was attacking, after a while the toxin made it to the point where your body was numb almost so there wasn't just the feeling lingering there. But with the amount Mizuki used... it just stayed there, lingering and causing more torment then he wanted to admit to. Even with just sitting there he felt uneasy or on edge, he wasn't sure what was the correct term for it.

Though with the second so called test Mizuki seemed intent on doing he almost had the urge to scold the other for being such a tease. Everything seemed to be just slow and not enough of it. Enough to cause him to feel whatever the effect was and to try to avoid reacting to it, of course failing. But not enough to cause him to go over to the point of no return. Though everything was slowly adding up and he wasn't sure what was going to happen first, him breaking or Mizuki running out of ideas for thee said tests.

When the other spoke he looked away a little knowing his cheeks were still flushed from everything going on. It wasn't like he was use to showing emotions like this. He should be from his past but that was different and a long time ago. "I'm not afraid.." He nearly hissed out before biting his lower lip a little trying to keep a little bit of focus at least. "Just.. uneasy.." He finally managed to get out. "All of these little tests and teases, what do you expect?" He hated that he was pretty much at the mercy of the other, of course he could go ahead and take care of the problem as to why he was feeling uneasy or bothered. But something told him Mizuki wouldn't let him if he tried.

Mizuki smiled as he watched the torment the other seemed to be going through. The only reason why Mizuki enjoyed it was because he knew the male before him wasnt in pain but quite the opposite. "I expect nothing less..." He said lowly before grabbing the piece of fur and rubbing it up on Altons cheek then down to his neck with out giving him warning.

Mizuki watched as Altons eyes closed and his breath hitched the moment the fur moved. It was a reaction that Mizuki was not quite expecting but it pleased him non the less. Mizuki smiled before rubbing the strip down the males arm before taking it away completely.

Next Mizuki dipped his hands in the cold water keeping them there till his skin was ice cold to touch. He then removed them and shook off extra water before reaching out and placing one on the males chest and the other on the back of Altons neck. Having to move closer to get a good touch Mizuki now sat directly infront of the male a little ways away.

Mere moments from complaining about how the other said he expected nothing less he seemed to continue with his little tests that he was content at doing. Alton was starting to question why he was dumb enough to agree to this, though he blamed what had happened earlier as to why he had said anything along this line in the first place. Not to say he could really complain as to what was going on, but at the same time it felt like the slowest torture process ever.

Though torture wasn't the correct word for what Mizuki decided to do next. Sure he was half watching what the other was doing but at the moment his mind didn't put two and two together as to what freezing cold water would do to someone who had increased sensitivity. When the other touched his skin he nearly lost any breath he had. He wasn't sure if that hurt or if just the sudden shock had caused it.

"They say payback is a bitch.." He hissed a little cringing slightly from the cold feeling still residing in the spots Mizuki's hands were. He didn't like the cold anyway and with this.. it felt like he nearly had frost bite in two areas now. Though he knew he didn't, one thing was for sure. This toxin could be used to some someone talk, it would be next to impossible not to depending on what was done.

Mizuki smiled at that "Aww....are you saying you will get me back?" Mizuki asked before pulling away from Alton and dipping his hands in the hot water. Mizuki knew the effects of this and it would be the last straw for the male before him. The combination of warm and warm usually never sat well with anyone.

When it took awhile for the male before him to reply Mizuki gave a smile and couldnt help but to finish the little test he had before him. Raising now hot hands to Alton Mizuki placed them both on the other males chest. Watching as the color in the males cheeks darkened more before a moan like sound escaped dry lips and semi relaxed muscles tensed as the test came to an end.

Mizukis hands lingered on the males chest for a moment or two before he pulled them back and looked at Alton whos breathing was a little heavy from everything that just took place "The toxin given to you leaves one the body comes to completion" Mizuki said with a light smile on his face "The full grown plant has two toxins that mix together so the body never reaches that stage" Mizuki said slightly gathering the things around him up.

As Mizuki left to put things away he had a smile and a hum to his lips. Comming back he looked to Alton who still sat on the floor "Your lucky I only have the one toxin...otherwise that wouldnt end...for a long, long, long time" Mizuki said as his tail thrashed behind him in mirth.

He was thinking a moment as to what to reply to the other. "Oh yes I plan to-" His words were cut off as the other placed his hands on his chest causing him to lose the words he was going to say. The noise that had left his lips wasn't something he was expecting, he should have though he had been fighting a few smaller moans from the previous tortures or as the other called them tests. Oh yes at some point he was going to get Mizuki back, after he recovered anyway.

He listened to Mizuki explain about the toxins before he shook his head a little still trying to calm himself. Though it was a losing battle at the moment. "Remind me... Why did I agree to this again?" He wanted to laugh at it finding it a bit funny at the present moment that he had agreed to be tortured so. There was probably a reason behind why he agreed to it by opening his mouth, though it probably wasn't a logical one.

When the other returned with his taunting words he glared a little at him before he bothered to speak. "I think you'd enjoy that too much if you had both, and I think honestly I'd be scared for my well being." Though he figured that both would never come into the equation unless they were attacked by such a plant. But aside from that small one he hadn't seen any traces of others so many they weren't all that common.
