Hottan (The Beginning)

A/N: We, Drivven and Fairy, plan to have this finished and published before the start of February. Then... hopefully shortly after that Yosougai will be released. Hope you enjoy.

They didn't hear the door open, didn't hear Kotetsu curse like a sailor when he realized he not only recognized one moaning voice, but both. "Mother Fuckers! God-damn nympho, cock-sucking bastards!" He'd talked to Zu about this. "Backstabbing Asshole!"

He showed amazing restraint. He waited until the obvious sound of two men reaching their climax thundered through the apartment he shared with his best friend Izumo, before kicking in the backstabbing, cock-sucking, no good rotten bastard's bedroom door. "If he quits after this. I'm kicking your fucking ass and then I'm kicking his!" Kotetsu thundered at the two very astonished men.

Izumo jerked where he straddled Naruto's lap once again. His sudden movement drew a loud groan from the man he was impaled upon. Zu's big brown eyes went round as saucers and he looked down at Kyuubi. "Fuck, did I hurt you just now."

Kyuubi just looked up at him and grinned; "It's up again now."

Izumo laughed and moved testing the blond's firmness. "Yup, sure is. Guess it's another go, eh?" Kyuubi's hands came back up to Izumo's hips. Those hips were already rocking in an ever increasing rhythm. Kotetsu had been completely forgotten.

"Fucking nymphos," He growled as he shut the door and headed for the kitchen. "Keep it up and I'll sick the Crazy Bitch on you." It was a false threat. He and Anko and Zu had all known each other a long time. He really didn't think that there was any way he could ever be pissed at anyone enough to sick that psycho on them.

----

Kotetsu looked at the clock on the wall. 'That should be enough time,' He thought grimly as he stood up and headed for Zu's bedroom door. He opened it to see his friend lying face down in a mess of tangled sheets and covers. Sprawled next to him was the focus of Kotetsu's mission. He clamped one hand over the brat's big mouth and grabbed a fist full of hair with the other. He hauled the little shit out of bed in one smooth movement and pulled the man from the room. Kyuubi's feet barely touched the floor before he was thrown forcefully onto the couch.

He looked up at the glowering older man and his protests died on his lips. He was actually afraid of just what Kotetsu might do. "You had your fun, now it's time for both of you to pay for it," Kotetsu growled. Kyuubi swallowed hard.

"Shit, you're even more clueless than I thought. Let me guess, never fucked a guy before, right?!"

Naruto fidgeted, then nodded. Kotetsu swore softly. 'Well, at least it wasn't intentional,' he thought to himself. It was still small consolation.

"Let my tell you Kyu, fucking a dude isn't like fucking a chick. Pussy and ass aren't designed the same. You can power fuck some bitch all fucking night and she can crawl out of bed like it's nothing the next morning. But a guy... it's harder on them. He'll be lucky if he can walk today, much less perform tonight."

'He'll do it though, stubborn ass,' Ko ran a hand through his wild hair in frustration.

"Get your clothes on quietly. You've got some shopping to do."

The blond gave him a confused look and he growled like a large dog. "First, you're gonna get him some stuff for the pain. Second, you'll get him breakfast. Then, you're gonna come back here and baby him all God-damn day!"

"I'll make you a list of what you need, now move your nasty bare ass off my couch!" Naruto got up and started gathering his clothes off the living room floor where they joined Izumo's in making a trail to the man's bedroom. When he was dressed, Ko handed him a list. "I even put down which stores and where."

Naruto read one item on the list; Numbing Cream - Zen Candy Shop Top shelf above the butt plugs and blinked twice. Ko looked at the list and smiled. "You get to help him with that one," He smiled at the clueless little shit as he steered him towards the door. It was not a nice smile.

"Oh and Kyu," Ko called as he headed for his own bedroom. "You don't come back with everything, don't bother coming back at all. If you blow this off and I ever see you again," He turned to look at the younger man. "I'll beat you to death and leave you in a fucking ditch to rot," Naruto nodded in understanding.

Ko opened his own bedroom door and left the blond with one last parting shot. "Now I'm going to bed. Not like I could fucking sleep with you two bastards howling all God-damn night. It's a good thing the old fuckers who live in the other two apartments on this side are both deaf as posts! Night Kyu. Be a good boy and don't make me kill you," SLAM

Naruto slipped out the door as quickly and quietly as possible. He glanced down at the list in his hand. 'He sure seems to know a lot about this kinda thing...'

Izumo heard it all, but could not muster the will to move. He was exhausted and the pain was starting to settle into his lower back, hips, and of course his ass. 'Not his fault Ko,' He thought at his friend. 'I wanted it too.'

He smiled though. Kotetsu cared about him so much. He'd even taken care of him when one of his asshole fuck buddies had overdone it and left him lying in pain on the living room floor.

'That's a real friend. Someone like that is... priceless,' With that thought he drifted off to sleep gratefully. At least the pain wasn't so bad he couldn't sleep.

Ko woke up slightly less grumpy than he’d been when he had sent the kid off to the store. He stepped out his bedroom door which led directly into the kitchen. He put a small pot of water on the hot plate and glared at it as if daring it to take too long.

A giggle from the direction of the couch drew his attention. He approached cautiously a little afraid of just who was giggling and why. As he peeked over the back, he saw Zu and Kyu cuddled together under a blanket. Thankfully, they were both dressed.

Kyu was holding Zu against his chest and running his fingers through the brunette’s dark silky hair. Ko knew how soft those dark strands where. He had been the one to wash Ko’s hair after the brunette had a bad reaction to henna tattoos he’d gotten on his hands.

“Love that Kyu. You can do that all day,” Zu murmured softly against the blond’s chest.

“You feeling better?” Kyu asked softly.

“Uh huh.”

“Good, I thought I’d really fucked it all up. I hadn’t known that it would hurt so much.”

“Oh, you will,” Izumo teased softly. “I’ll get my payback out of your hot little ass later.”

Kyuubi flushed. “Hope I’m not as big a disappointment as a bottom as I am as a top.”

Izumo looked up at him. “Kyu, I wouldn’t normally suggest this, but I just don’t think I wanna share you with anybody else,” The blue eyes looked adorably clueless. “I don’t want you to go out with anyone but me, okay?” The azure pools were as round as plates.

“You serious? You want to be exclusive? With me?” The shaggy blond head tilted to one side. “Why?”

Izumo chuckled. “Who else is gonna teach you everything you need to know?”

Ko coughed as he choked. He had never really known Izumo to be exclusive with anyone in their entire history together and they’d been friends since grade school. The two other men looked up at him in surprise. Zu looked up at his best friend and smiled. “Go easy on him. He did everything you said,” He ruffled Kyu’s shaggy hair. “He’s been a good boy.”

“So you heard,” Kotetsu commented. “Thought you might,” He turned and headed back to the kitchen. “Anybody want tea?” He was still a little thrown off by the concept of Zu in an exclusive relationship. ‘It’s pretty fast too,’ If he’d said he wasn’t worried, he’d be a liar.

Naruto looked at Zu. “Why do I feel like he’s still pissed?” He whispered to his new lover.

“That’s ‘cause he is,” Kyuubi looked worried. “He’s just worried I won’t be able to play tonight, but really I feel loads better.”

Kyu blushed guiltily. “Gomen...” He apologized for the hundredth time.

“Stop that shit. I wanted it too. We just need to make sure it doesn’t affect the performance and Ko will get over it quick.”

“What am I getting over?” The dark headed man asked as he set two mugs on the coffee table. They hadn’t answered him, but he’d gotten them tea anyway.

Zu frowned at his friend. “You’re being polite yet pissy, nice mix.”

Kotetsu smiled evilly. “And what my dear friend am I gonna get over so quickly?” His tone was dripping in sarcastic malice.

Zu rolled his eyes. “I’m not gonna say it. I’m not sorry. So if that’s what you’re waiting for, kiss my ass.”

“Oh, you haven’t taught the virgin that one yet eh?” Ko asked almost pleasantly. Kyu went white, then scarlet. The kid’s discomfort was a little too enjoyable for Kotetsu, it made him edgy. He turned to the other source of his irritation. Zu was lying on the brat’s chest with his eyes closed and his mouth in a thin line of growing anger. Zu was famous for his temper.

“Ko, you got something you wanna say or not?”

“Oh, I think I’ve said it all, last night, this morning, last week. Not like anybody ever listens to me any fucking way,” He looked Zu up and down where he lay. “You planning on playing from that position? Would definitely be new…”

“I can stand,” Zu growled low in the back of his throat.

“Huh…” Was the only answer he got.

“Would a stool or something help?” Naruto asked trying to help. “You know, if standing is a problem…” His voice trailed off at the almost horrified face Izumo made. Kotetsu’s look plainly called him a ‘fucking moron’. “What?!”

Kotetsu shook his head and stood up. “Good luck training this one Zu. I don’t envy you,” He headed for the bathroom. “I’m gonna shower, unless you two need in there. Oh and Zu,” He turned to look at his best friend. “I’m not pissed anymore. Think you might of bit off more than you can chew here. Can’t think of a better punishment than watching you explain ‘everything’ to this one.”

“All’s well that ends well... right?!” The smug smile on his face was unbearable. A pillow flew across the small apartment and hit the bathroom door. Kotetsu was laughing loudly on the other side.

“What?” Naruto asked again. Izumo cringed and snuggled closer before explaining that the reason he was laying on the couch was because sitting was NOT an option at the moment.

Kyuubi’s reaction was predictable. “Oh…fuck gomen…” Izumo just sighed and ruffled the clueless little blond’s head. Sometimes he hated it when Ko was right.

--------------

Naruto stepped out on stage with a fiercely determined look. It was almost frightening to his friends, so the crowd reacted strongly as well. They loved it. They loved him. They started cheering as soon as they saw him and never stopped. The place went out of control when he opened his mouth.

The kid was a natural born performer. The music took hold of him and ate him alive. Whatever the beat and words were supposed to portray was what he felt and what he made every other human being in the area feel as well. It was surreal. Kotetsu was blown away. Anko admitted later that she’d almost pissed herself, she was so excited.

Zu, well Zu fell hard that night. He’d liked Kyuubi from the beginning. That was a fact, but after he watched the man perform he was completely enthralled. It was like watching a birth, or rebirth. Kyuubi stood on that stage like something unreal, something mythical. Zu couldn’t explain it and was pretty certain that he never would be able to.

After that, the two were joined at the hip, or crotch as Anko liked to say. You really couldn’t find one without the other. Naruto practically lived in Ko and Zu’s apartment. He’d stopped going to school almost all together.

Kiba was worried about him, but he’d pretty much told his friend to ‘stow it’. He knew what he was doing. He was living. Naruto had never felt as alive as he did as Kyuubi. This was the life he wanted and he wasn’t going to let anything or anyone take it away from him.

He never saw Iruka anymore unless they were fighting. They fought about school and Naruto’s future. Iruka’s vision of Naruto’s future included college and a career. The teenager wanted neither.

He wanted to live out the rest of his life singing to Izumo’s guitar and playing the older man’s body like a well tuned instrument. He was improving rapidly in both areas, proving he was a natural ‘performer’ in a very versatile way.

-----

‘It’s not that I don’t like the kid… I just didn’t sign up to live with him too,’ Ko was trying to figure out a way to explain it. He didn’t want to have a long drawn out discussion about his reasons. Fate it would seem was on his side.

After a long weekend of performing almost back to back shows, they were all tired and grouchy. Anko was growling at everyone and the brat was giving as good as he got. Those two went at each other almost every other day.

It was starting to really wear on Ko. Izumo didn’t seem to notice and the two verbal gladiators rebounded so quickly from fighting to friendly that you’d swear they enjoyed the shit. ‘I need my own place. I need some place quiet.’

‘Maybe the kid’s right... maybe I am a geezer trapped in a young dude’s body…’ He was lost in thought and almost ran the man over. ‘What the hell is he doing leaning against the wall by the back door like that?’

“Hey, buddy this isn’t the entrance,” He remarked as he stepped around the guy. He could have sworn he felt a wave of anger roll off the guy. He was instantly concerned. He turned to stop the others from coming out, but was too late.

Kyu stepped through the door one second and was grabbed, spun, and slammed into the wall the next. “You fucking jackass!” The assailant yelled. “You quit school, you never call him. I should break your Kami-be-damn neck!”

“God-damn it Kiba!” Kyuubi screamed. “What the fuck dude?! I invited you here to watch the show and all you’ve got to say to me is this crap?! I don’t need your shit. You don’t fucking know shit, so stay the hell out of it!” He shoved the man off him and started to stomp off.

“OH HELL NO YOU DON’T!!” This Kiba person roared and launched himself at the blond. They went down in a heap. There was a lot of scrambling and cursing as they thrashed on the ground. In the end Kiba ended up on top.

He used his extra weight to pin Naruto to the ground. “You rotten little bastard. To think I ever called you ‘friend’,” He leaned back and the dim light picked up the tears running freely down his face.

“Yeah, I came to watch you. You’re fucking amazing. Even better than I’d expected. That does NOT give you the right to break his heart. You’re my best friend, but I’ll never forgive you if you don’t fix this shit!” The man stood up and looked at the rest of Naruto’s band. “Sorry to fuck up your night. You want him?” He gestured at the man lying at his feet.

“You can fucking have him. I don’t know any fucking ‘Kyuubi’,” He stalked off wiping his face on the sleeve of his jacket.

Kyuubi stood up and wiped some blood from his cheek. He didn’t say a word. His eyes had a wild tint to them. Izumo stepped up to him. “Kyu?” He started to ask.

Naruto was so pissed he was shaking. When his eyes fell on his lover’s beautiful face his passionate feelings were re-routed. He grabbed Izumo’s shirt and pulled him close. “Tonight’s the night Zu-koi. I want it and I want it hard core,” He whispered to the older man he’d been fucking for a little over a month. Tonight, he fully intended to be fucked until he couldn’t stand the next day.

“Kyu? You sure? I mean, maybe you should calm down first,” Zu caressed his cheek, trying to calm him and help him relax a bit.

“You only live once Zu and I wanna live,” The blue eyes pleaded for understanding without words. Izumo nodded. He didn’t get it, but he didn’t have to. He admitted it now he loved this adorable man and would do anything he asked.

“Anko?”

“Yeah?”

“You got plans for tonight?”

“Nope.”

“Mind if I crash on your couch?” Anko looked at Ko for a minute and had to wonder if he was finally starting to figure a few things out. ‘Poor guy…’ She grabbed his collar and started hauling him bodily towards her bike. The other two didn’t even notice them as they left. Zu and Kyu were almost always in their own little world anymore.
