Mercury's hiding place.

---

Ikigame arrived at the place, following Mercury. "I didn't kow you had your own cave..."

"The cave holds all my secrets...Its practicly my home..."Mercury smiled.She looked at the giant bed near the corner of the cave and thousands beyond thousands of rose petals on the floor.

Ikigame smiled at the sights of the layer. "Its very nice here."

"Its the only place that I can escape from the rest of the world.."

"Does Gaara know about this place?" He asked.

"Nope.Your the only one who does now.."

"I feel special now." Ikigame said smiling at her.

Merc smiled and grabbed Ikigame's hand,leading him to the bed.

Ikigame hugged Mercury from behind and smiled as they walked to the bed.

"I love you.."Mercury whispered as she sat down on the bed.

"I love you too." Ikigame responded as he began to kiss Mercury's shoulders.

The demon breathe heavily.She pulled Ikigame on top of her and kissed him.

Ikigame began to take his shirt off, just to make it fair for the girl whom already had her shirt off from earlier.


Mercury blushed lightly.Sh was still alittle shy and nervous about all this,but wanted to make her love happy.

Ikigame began to kiss the girl's chest again, slowly menuvering the bra loose.

Mercury breathed heavily and looked at Ikigame,helplessly.

Ikigame looked up at her, smiling a bit.

Merc smiled back,using her feet to pull down the mans pants.

Ikigame helped the girl by wiggling his hips. He placed his hands on her bottoms and began to pull them down as well

Mercury blushed a bright scarllet.

Ikigame also began to pull down her panties, still kissing her chest.

Mercury looked at Ikigame and smiled.I hope he is true.. She thought to herself.

Ikigame sllowly removed his boxers, lowering his kissing to her clevage.

Mercury gasped in slight shock and breathed even heavier,moaning lightly.

Ikigame positioned himself over the girl's body better, and slowly began to enter her, not wanting to cause much pain to her.

Mercury placed her hands on Ikigame's shoulder's.She bit her lip and whimpered lightly.

Ikigame looked up at her, his ears lowering a little.

Mercury smield reassuringly."I'm okay.."

Ikigame nodded and thrust slowly the rest of the way into the girl's body, then pulled out slowly. He took a glance up at the girl to know if she was alright.

The demon's eyes were closed.She breathed softly."Don't stop...please.."She whispered.

Ikigame let out a small purr as he thrust into her again, a bit faster then the first thrust, pulling out and thrusting in again.

Gasping sharply,Mercury's eyes shot open as she dug her claws into Ikigame's shoulders.

Ikigame smiled from the claws impaling him, thrusting into her again. Pleasure being brought to him from the long black nails.

Mercury moaned softly."Oh Ikigame.."She whimpered in pleasure.

Ikigame smiled and thrust into her, faster. He moved his hands to her sides and began to squeeze them a little.

The girl yelped out slightly and bit into the man's shoulder.

Ikigame let out a small yelp, thrusting into her faster and harder.

Merc moaned louder and growled under her breath.She then started kissing and biting Ikigame's neck."More,Ikigame,more..."She whispered into his ear.

Ikigame lowered his body down to her, letting her bite his neck. He quite enjoyed the pain from his lover. He nodded and began to thrust into her mainly harder, not all that much faster thgouh.

Mercury whimpered and yelped,breathing heavily."Oh Ikigame..."She moaned.

Ikigame was close to reaching his climax. He quickly pulled out, not wanting the warm white liquid spewing into her small body.

"Not yet.."Mercury blushed lightly as Ikigame pulled out of her body.

"I'm sorry Mercury..." Ikigame said looking over at her.

Mercury smiled lightly,blushing."Don't worry.."

"I just don't want you getting pregnant is all..." Ikigame said looking down at the blankets.

"I wouldn't really mind if I did.."She smiled.

Ikigame gave a weak smile. "That would ruin you though."

"No it wouldn't.."Mercury smiled,gently placing her hand on his cheek.

"H-hey!" Ikigame quickly sat up, rubbing his cheek. It was still a bit red from the clones slap a little while ago. He sighed and looked out the cave's opening.

"What?"Mercury sat up,pulling the blanket up to her chest.

"Carmen slapped me earlier, and I just remembered it." Ikigame said looking back at Mercury. He sighed and laid back, his head right below one of the pillows.

"Carmen will pay.."She mumbled under her breath and rolled over ontop of Ikigame."Don't worry...Im here now.."

"But, I guess I deserved it. I made you depressed. She was only looking out for you." Ikigame said placing his hands on her sides.

"I know.Carmen is very protective...She's almost becoming human.."Mercury smiled and pressed her body against Ikigame's. "I love you so much.."

"I love you too Mercury." Ikigame said kissing her nose.

Merccury smiled. "I want to have your child...."

Ikigame began to blush madly, staring up at the girl. "Really now? Thats the first time I've ever heard that."

Mercury blushed aswell.She cuddled up against Ikigame's chest and murrs.

Ikiagme wrapped his arms around her, nuzzling his cheek against the top of her head. "I wouldn't mind that one bit."

"Myuu.."Mercury licked Ikigame's neck slowly.

Ikigame's blush slowly faded as he looked up at the top of the cave.

"What are you thinking?"The demon whispered into Ikigame's ear,gently nibbling on it.

Ikigame giggled from the nibbling as he looked over at Mercury. "Nothing really..Just remembering what I told you earlier.."

"About what?"She giggled,nipping at Ikigame's ear.

"That you would get used to it.." Ikigame said placing his hand on his own shoulders, feeling the red liquid dripping from four holes in his skin.

Merc smiled and licked the blood off of his shoulders.

Ikigame murred and shut his eyes lightly.

Mercury smiled and murred.

Ikigame turned his head and kissed Mercury.

"I've never felt such emotion for anyone in my life.."Mercury smiled.

Ikigame smiled and nodded. "Likewise my dove." He smiled and turned his head back to the ceiling of the cave.

Mercury cuddles up to Ikigame and licked his chest.

"Hey, you wanna get going?" Ikigame asked looking down at the girl.

"Why?"Mercury aked,looking up at her lover.

"No reason...I just think Carmen should know she slapped me for no reason...." Ikigame said rubbing his cheek again.

Carmen appeared in the entrance of the cave."It wasn't for no reasno.."

Mercury blushed adn looked at Carmen."How--how did you find this place?!?"

"Um..Merc?Did you know you moan reeaally loud?"Carmen smirked.

Mercury blushed adn glared.

Ikigame threw a rock at the clone and glared. "Get out!" He barked to her.

Carmen caught the rock."Why?So you two can get married and have a bunch of babies?"

Mercury growled."Stop it Carmen!"

"Aren't those your intentions with Kiba, or was I just imagining his tongue in your throat when I first saw you two?" Ikigame retoreted, pulling Mercury closer to his form.

With a growl,Carmen crushed the rock in her hands."Its not like I could give birth anyway.I'm a clone.Made of sand..."She sighed and walked out of the cave to find Kiba.

Mercury looked at Carmen sympatheticly.

Ikigame let out a small whimper. "I'm sorry..."

"Don't be.."Mercury nuzzled Ikigame's neck.

Ikigame sighed, turning over onto his side.

"Ikigame.."mercury said sadly.

"I cause nothing but anger, sadness, confusion and hate wherever I go...." He said in a low tone, to nobody impaticular.

"You caused me happiness and love..."Mercury smiled.

"Yeah, you're the only one...Besides Ri...Uh, nevermind." Ikigame began to blush madly, thinking of the boy he had mistaken for a girl once before.

Rin appeared at the entrance, concealing himself but found it was impossible due to the orange, black, and white he wore. He saw Ikigame, noting how much he changed, well a little, but still changed.

Ikigame quickly sat up, blinking at the intrusion of the cave. "Who are you?"

He pretended to look hurt. "Aw, Iki-kun... you don't remember me? It's only been 2 years since that night..." he smirked, stepping foreward into the light.

Ikigame gulped and scooted back a bit, pulling Mercury with him. "How did you find me?"

"A little puppy named Kiba said that you were with Mercury. I work for Sensei Orochimaru.... I live here with Mercury... and I know of this place... that little puppy said that you were off comforting Mercury. And I knew where to look... I helped conceal this place after all." He smirked, sitting down at once.

Ikigame felt a huge red blush forming on his face. He quickly pulled the covers up over his chest and Mercury's alike.

"I hope you don't plan on leaving little Mercury like you did me... after all, it was you whom seduced me into bed..." Rin said, noticing what had happened between them.

"I WOULD NEVER LEAVE MERCURY!" Ikigame screamed, becoming a bit offended by the comment.

"Good. Because if you did, I'd kill you." Rin became serious, "I may not think of Merc as a true friend, but I know what she's gone through. And pain won't be caused by the likes of you. She won't go through what I did..."

"I won't leave her. I wouldn't even leave her to save my own life." Ikigame said, glaring slightly at the boy.

"Good. That's how it should be..." Rin leaned back against the wall in boredom. "Mercury... where's Sensei?"

Mercury glared,and made some handsigns.Black sand wrapped around her to form armor to cover her body.She stood up and glared at Rin."You werent suppous to find me here...I erased your memory!"She took out a sand kunai."You have no idea what I've been through...And it wouldn't matter if Ikigame left me.As long as I love him,no matter what he does..I'll still be by his side...And what in hell's unforgivable name do you mean Ikigame seduced you into bed!?"She glared and flipped her hair back."Now get out of my sight!"Gripping the kunai,her eyes turned red."Now!"

At the sight of the familiar jutsu, Rin pressed his palms against the floor and did a backflip to land on both of his feet. "You didn't erase my memory... you only thought you did. My mind is trained to prevent such things from happening, and I don't care if you know that I went through similar things as you. Sensei kidnapped me from my family when I was ten... only so I could do his damn bidding... but now, I love murdering weaklings like you for Sensei Orochimaru. I revel in it..." Rin laughed again, but was still wary of the black sand. He knew it far to well.

"Enough Rin!" Ikigame exclaimed, pulling his pants up to his waist and standing up. "You just love to fuck with others don't you?"

Rin's amused expression fell as he stood at his full height of 5'11". "You hate it don't you?" he asked angerily, "Don't you hate being used and then shunned just because of a fucking microscopic mistake don't you?!"

Ikigame sighed and placed his hand on his head. Came at the best possible time... he thought to himself rather sarcastically. "Can't say I do..."

"If you weren't such a badass muderer then I'd kick your ass right now, you know that? And just so you know, you sucked in bed." Rin stuck his tongue out childishly before turning and disappearing into thin air it seemed. He was just going back to Orochimaru's Layer 3 to see his Sensei.

Turning back to Ikigam,Mercury stared."What does he mean?"She asked hesitantly.

Ikigame quickly jumped off the bed, going over to the furthest corner of the cave. "Nothing."

"Don't lie to me...I won't get mad..."She walked over to him and wrapped her arms around him.

"I'm not telling you because I'd rather not relive it." Ikigame said, shaking in discust

"I'm sorry.."Mercury whispered

"It's okay Mercury." Ikigame said slinking down, head facing the corner of the cave,

"Is there something I can do to make you feel better?"Mercury smiled,pulling Ikigame back,and resting his head on her lap.She gently ran her fnigers through his hair.

"Unless you can reverse time, then no."

The demon looked down at the man,sadly."Ikigame..Don't be like this..."

Ikigame stared emotionlessly up at said woman. "Its just too hard and too painfull to actually bring up."

"I can tell..But don't be so sad..i'm here.."She smiled.

"I'm not sad, just disappointed in my judgement..No more sake for me is all I can say." Ikigame said, smiling up at Mercury.

"You bad boy..."Mercury smiled,and leaned down to kiss Ikigame.

Ikigame nodded his head in agreement, leaning up and kissing her bottom lip.

With a murr,Mercury pulled Ikigame up to herself and lied down with him."I love you.."

"I love you too." Ikigame responded.
Mercury giggled.

"I think we better go, before Rin starts crap with Carmen and Kiba." Ikigame said sitting up.

"But..Maybe...Ikari got to hmi.."

"Who?"

"One of my clones..."Mercury said.

Some one laughed."So its true.The guy gave it to you good,didn't Merc?"

Ikigame meeped and suink to the ground again. "So many intrusions."

Mercury stopped breathing.She seemed like she was choking."I...i.."She passedout.

The person walked out.He looked like a guy version of Mercury.

"Mercury??!" Ikigame sat up and began to tap her cheek lightly.

Mercury opened her eyes."No.."
The boy smiled.

"Are you okay?"

"No.."She growled.

The boy chuckled."And I thought I was guna be the one to take your vir-"

"SHUTUP!"Mercury barked

"HEY!" Ikigame yelled at the boy. "Don't you talk shit like that around me."

The boy chuckled again."Im sorry.Its just funny how Merc is so easily manipulated.

Mercury blushed and looked away.

Ikigame placed his hand on her cheek and smiled. "I don't care, I still love her."

"Aww..What are you guna do now?Are you gun leave the poor girl,once you get bored with her?That loyal mutt is worth mothing..."

Mercury closed her eyes."Not true..."

"I will never leave her again. She is the world to me." Ikigame said looking at the boy.

"Oh,but when you first met,she was in chains and bleeding."The boy said with an evil grin.

Mercury held Ikigame and curled up."No.."

Ikigame gave a low growl at the boy. "Just shut it." He looked down at Mercury and caressed her cheek

The boy walked over and kneeled down."Come on Mercury.here girl."He whistled as if he was calling a dog.

Mercury whimper and crawled behind Ikigame.

Ikigame began to growl louder, his back arching and his ears flattening.

"Ikigame dont.."Merc whispered.

The boy reached over and pet Merc's head.

Ikigame opened his mouth and bit the boy's wrist.

Mercury meeped and pulled the boy's wrist out of Ikigame's mouth."Rekino!Stop making Ikigame mad!"

Ikigame spit some blood out of his mouth, still growling.

Rekino growled."Damn cat.."

Ikigame turned and face Mercury.

"Go away,Rekino.."Mercury said angrily.

Rekino stood upn and walked away."Fine but when Ikigame leaves your ass for some whore,don't come crying to me.."He dissappeared.

"Jerk..." Ikigame muttered.

"I know.."Mercury sighed.The sand armor she was wearing slowly fell to the ground as grains for sand.She walked back to the bed and cuddled up in it.

Ikigame stayed in the corner.

Trying to hold back tears,but failed,Mercury broke down crying.

Ikigame looked back at her. "Mercury, please don't cry.."

"I-I cant.."The demon sobbed.

"Is everything alright?" Ikigameasked sitting up

"Hell no..."Merc continued sobbing.

Ikigame went over and hugged Mercury to himself. "Whats wrong?"

"Everything...I'm afraid that..if we ever had a child..You would leave me after you found out...And I'm afraid of loosing you in battle.."

"Is that all? I wouldn't leave a mother to be, never. I love children." Ikigame said with a huge smile. "And I promise you won't lose me ever."

"But what if some other girl tries to take you away from me?What if you fall in love with a prettier girl than me?I don't want to be left alnoe.."

Ikigame shushed her and ran his fingers through her hair gently. "I promise you won't lose me, ever."

"But.."mercury looked at Ikigame sadly.She held him tightly.

Ikigame smiled and let his chin rest against her head.

Merc curling up on Ikigame's lap.Her small body shiver."Ikigame...?"

"what is it Mercury?" He asked looking down at her, running his hands across her shivering form.

"What would you do if I died?"

"I'd try to bring you back." Ikigame said simply.

"How would you feel?"

"I'd be heart broken." Ikigame said again.

Mercury smiled and nuzzled Ikigame's chest."Ikigame.."She said in soft voice.Her smile faded."Is this true?Are you mine?Do you really love me?"

"Yes, its all true."

Merc wrapped her arms tightly around Ikigame's shoulders."Prove it."She whispered and nuzzled his cheek.

"How?" He asked blinking a few times.

"Anyway you can."Merc said,growling playfully.

Ikigame smiled and nuzzled his head against her neck. "You choose what you want me to do."

"I want to have you children.."Merc thought outloud.

Ikigame blushed and rubbed the back of his head.

Mercury giggled and licked Ikigame's nose.

"Really?" Ikigame slapped his own forehead and sighed. "Geez, wish I would've knew that before I pulled out."

"Dont beat yourself up about it."Mercury giggled.

Ikigame smiled and kissed Mercury's nose.

Mercury meeped."Myuu!"

"Aren't you the clvever one." Ikigame said holding her close to him.

"Yes I am.."She giggled and lied down,pulling him ontop her her form."You're cold.."She nuzzled.

"Yes, I am kinda." Ikigame said with a smile.

Mercury smiled and softly kissed his lips.

Ikigame smiled as his hand drifted to her back slowly.

Mercury broke the kiss and slowly licked Ikigame's lips.

Ikigame licked Mercury's tongue with his own and smiled.

Merc moaned softly and looked up at Ikigame.

Ikigame smiled and leaned down, running his tongue along her collar bone.

Closing her eyes,Mercury breathed heavily.Her cheeks were red from shyness.

Ikigame's tail slowly drifted to Mercury's underwear, pulling them down once more.

Mercury blushed a bright scarlet as she looked up at Ikigame again.

Ikigame finnished pulling her bottoms down and now began to pull his down.

Merc couldn't help but watch Ikigame as he undressed himself.

Ikigame chuckled and kissed Mercury's cheek. "You like?"

The demon blushed and nodded.She giggled.

"Aww, aren't you just so sweet." He said nibbling on her lower lip a litte bit as he continued to pull his pants and boxers down.

Merc closed her eyes.

Ikigame finnished pulling down his bottoms, letting a slowl lick run 'cross Mercury's lips, he entered her slowly.

Merc gasped sharply,immediately digging her nails into Ikigame's shoulders again.

Ikigame smiled at the grip and thrust into her quickly now, laying a small kiss on her arm.

Merc yelps and wrapped ehr arms around Ikigame's shoulders.

Ikigame leaned down and licked Merc's neck lihtly, still thrusting into her, quickly.

Growling helplessly,Merc meeped and wrapped her legs around Ikigame's waist.

Ikigame let out a lustfull growl as he bit into the girl's neck, thrustinginto her harder and quicker then before.

The demon let out a small scream.She whimpered and dug her nails deeper.

Ikigame let his back ark as he released his bite from the neck, lowering to her collarbone and biting.

Mercury screamed out adn bit Ikigame's shoulder.

Ikigame thrust into her a few more times, her screaming furthering his climax, and let the warm white liquid release into the girl. His jaw clamping down a little more from the climax.

Mercury gasped and let go of Ikigame's shoulder.She climaxed aswell and arched her back.

Ikigame shut his eyes and released the girl's collarbone. He licked some of the access blood from her chest and murred softly.

Mercury smiled adn breathed heavily.She looked up at Ikigame and smiled.

"M-mercury..I love you." He said between a pant.

"I-I love your more.."Merc said smiling.

"No, I love yo more." Ikigame said rolling Mercury ontop of him and laying himself against he matress.

Mercury giggled and nuzzled him."Fine fine.You win."

Ikigame was about to speak when a drop of blood from her collarbone dripped onto his cheek. He whimpered lightly and licked her collarbone again.

Mercury smiled and bit her own lip,making it bleed,then kissing Ikigame.

Ikigame was shocked from the bloodied kiss and whimpered quickly. His tail began to wag as he licked her lips smiling.

"My blood is rare.."She smiled and nuzzled him.

"What type is it?" He asked kissing her cheek gently.

"Y negitive."She smiled."The rarest blood ever.."

"Very nice." Ikigame said warmly. He smiled and pulled Mercury closer to his form, nuzzling his head against her.

Mercury giggled."You're warm now.."

"I am?" Ikigame asked blsnkly.

"Yes.."Mercury smiled and ran her finger down Ikigame's chest.

"Thats odd." Ikigame said, murring from the slender finger running down his chest.

Mercury smiled evilly.

Ikigame was shifty-eyed for a moment as he stared at her. "What are you gonna do chick?"

"Nothin."She giggled and nibbled on Ikigame's ear.

Ikigame beban to flick his ears away from her mouth, as if teasing her somehow.

Mercury giggled and nuzzled Ikigame's cheek."Maybe we should find my sensei,Zabuza."

"-z-zabuza, is your..m-master?" Ikigame asked excitedly.

"Ya,why?"Merc asked confused.

Ikigame sat up quickly and nuzzled against her chest. "You're a goddess."

Mercury meeped adn giggled."No I'm not.Im just a demon."

"But your sensai is a god of all mist ninjas!" Ikigame said, still nuzzling her plump brests.

Mercury giggled."You silly cat.He's a rouge ninja.People though he was a demon but he is way more than that.You have no idea how long it took me to bring him back."

Ikigame looked up at her and smiled. "I learned most of my moves from stories I heard about him."

"He is a very great man.Come on.You and I can see him.He's in our training ground."Mercury said as she stood up and started putting her clothes on.

"Awww, my pillows are leaving." He said with a whimper as Mercury's tube top and bra covered her brests up.

Mercury giggled and threw Ikigame his clothes.

Ikigame smiled and got dressed, leaving his shirt off though. "See, you should go just like this. No shirt." He said playfully.

"Sensei would murder me."Merc stuck her tongue out at Ikigame-kun.She grabbed his hand and pulled him with her to Team one
