Young Gaijin 02

The Next Morning

Kinzuburo was the first to awake in the morning. It had been a warm night and they had tossed and turned on their beds. The zabuton that had briefly covered them lay pushed to the side, the strips of silk used to bind Josh were strewn in crumpled piles with the boy's mawashi. Both lay naked sleeping deeply in the morning air now blowing refreshingly cool through the open shoji. Kimi lay on his face, his porcelain skin glowing in the early light his jet black hair spiked and moist from the exertions of the night before.

Kinzuburo's eyes moved down the graceful curve of his spine to the soft round buttocks he had penetrated with such energy the night before. He knelt down and gently caressed the boy's exquisite skin and still thrilled to the touch.

Josh lay on his back, his head to one side his legs spread in a pose of an innocent. His small cock lay curled in a bed of fine red hair in parts matted with droplets of that sweet juice that had erupted so explosively the night before. It had tasted so sublimely sweet and warm as it flooded into Kinzuburo's mouth. He had to gulp several times to keep up with the flow. He remembered too the strange exotic aroma of Josh's skin and the softness of his hair, so different from the thick straight hair he had known before. Josh's skin too was paler especially on the parts that were protected from the sun, clear and pale.

As he sat admiring these two beautiful creatures Kinzuburo felt a wave a sadness rise up and engulf him. He had noticed the way that the two boys had looked at each other and how passionately they embraced. He knew that Kimi was devoted to him but it was a love born of respect and duty and not of the same as the love he seemed to share with Josh. In time they would drift away from him but, if they possessed the qualities he supposed, they were they would remain his faithful servants and he would reward them with honors and land and fight to protect his fiefdom from its enemies. Perhaps, if they proved their worth, he would adopt them as his sons as his wife so far had failed to provide one to him.

He rose up to go for the bath that he knew had been prepared for him as the boys slept on.

Josh was the next to wake up. He sat up and looked around him. He saw Kimi still sleeping next to him and he reached out to touch his newfound friend's face. He marveled at how soft the skin was to the touch. He felt his heart swell in love for his friend. He gently explored Kimi's face with his fingertips, touching the other boy's cheeks, forehead, ears, and the firm jaw line.

Kimi slowly opened his eyes and looked up into Josh's face. He saw the love in the other teen's eyes and it moved him more than he could say. Kimi reached up and drew Josh to him and they kissed. Josh lay down next to Kimi and both boys hugged each other as they kissed once more.

"Good morning, Josh. Sleep well?" Kimi asked.

Josh nodded. "Best sleep I've had ever. I kept dreaming about you and Lord Kinzuburo. All three of us being happy together."

Kimi smiled. "Now that is a good dream. Let's go have a bath and see what our Master has in mind for us today."

Kimi stood and held his hand out to Josh. Josh took it and stood up. They put the brown kimonos on and went down to the bathhouse and had their bath. Josh sighed in pleasure as he slipped into the hot water next to Kimi.

"What do you think Lord Kinzuburo is going to do with me?" Josh asked Kimi as they sat across from each other.

Kimi looked thoughtful. "I don't really know. Most likely he will have you start Samurai training. You are going to be living here from now on, so you need to know how to live in our country."

Josh grinned. "That would be so cool."

Unknown to them Kinzuburo had decided Josh was to be Samurai in his service. He spoke to the amorer about a training sword for Josh and then to the dojo master about enrolling Josh in the school he had on his castle grounds. The man had seen Josh when they came in and he quickly agreed. He decided to test the skills Josh already had first before starting his training. It wouldn't be just martial arts training either. Josh would also be trained in other areas essential to the Samurai. Kinzuburo smiled as he thought of Josh. He was so taken by the teen. Josh did complement Kimi in a way and Kinzuburo was glad that Josh had joined them so willingly. In time he would have to appeal to his own Master to be allowed to formally adopt both of the teens into his house and give them his name so his line would continue forever. He wondered what kind of a child would be produced if Josh ever pillowed with a girl. He smiled at the image his mind created. It would not matter. If that ever happened, it would be welcomed into the house of Kinzuburo. He looked up as he heard the happy chatter of the two teens coming. He assumed his role of Lord and Master once more as the door opened and they entered.

"Good morning Lord Kinzuburo," Both of them said together as they bowed to Kinzuburo.

The man inclined his head to them. "Sit and have your breakfast. Then there is a matter that needs to be discussed."

"Yes Lord Kinzuburo," they said and then sat down.

They dug in and ate their fill and then faced Lord Kinzuburo once they finished breakfast.

"How can we help you, Master?" Kimi asked.

"I have decided Josh is to start learning the Way of the Samurai. Please take him down to the dojo and introduce him to Lord Ito. He will start training Josh. You are to assist in addition to your own lessons and training," Kinzuburo told Kimi.

Kimi grinned. "A wise choice, Master. Josh is a natural at the sword. He has been taught knife fighting where he came from and I have shown him some things already."

Kinzuburo smiled. "Very good. Tell him what I said and then you two are dismissed."

"Yes Lord," Kimi bowed.

He turned to Josh and told him what had been said. Josh smiled broadly and then bowed to Lord Kinzuburo.

"Thank you Master," he said.

They stood up and Kinzuburo gently pulled Josh to him and hugged him. Josh sighed contentedly as he felt the man's arms around him. Kinzuburo gently lifted Josh's face up and he kissed Josh on the mouth. Josh felt himself get hard and he pressed himself against Kinzuburo. Kinzuburo was sorely tempted to take Josh's penis into his mouth and suck off the horny teen but controlled himself. There would be plenty of time for that later. He let go of Josh and waved them to the door. The teens paused at the door and bowed to Lord Kinzuburo and then left. Kinzuburo sighed and picked up his cup of tea. There were times in the past he had given a few boys, teens, and young men the opportunity to be Samurai, but very few actually had what it took to be Samurai.

It wasn't something one gave to another freely, they had to prove to Kinzuburo he was worthy of that Honor. Josh had earned that right by showing his willingness to learn about life here in Japan. Perhaps he had been Samurai in a previous life. He set down his empty teacup and got up. He stretched once and headed off to his throne room. He had matters to see to.

The Training Starts

Lord Ito grunted as he set the bokken (wood training sword) down and looked at the pale skinned, red headed boy in front of him. Kimi had informed him of Lord Kinzuburo's wishes. He nodded and had looked Josh over as the boy stood before him. He had Josh strip his kimono off and noted the boy's body. Josh seemed to be a bit muscular and he noted the callus on Josh's right hand, indicating the boy was right handed and used to hard labor. He noted the mawashi was tied correctly, adding to the boy's appeal. He immediately handed Josh a training sword and was pleased to see Josh bow as he accepted it from him.

He took up a ready position and attacked. Josh deflected and blocked as much of Ito's attack as he could. He was pleased to see Josh hold his own and press an attack of his own.

"You have potential. The fact that you were taught knife fighting helped. But you have much to learn," Ito told Josh.

Josh bowed. "I am honored to be learning from you."

Ito smiled. This boy had manners, unlike the others who he had trained over the years. He noted the smile on Kimi's face.

"Kimi, did you teach him some things?" he asked.

"Yes, Lord Ito. Some of Lord Kinzuburo's personal guard also helped as well," Kimi answered.

Ito nodded. "He has learned well. I will enjoy teaching him."

Josh beamed at that. Ito dismissed Kimi to his other lessons and then turned to Josh.

"Now we begin your training." Ito said.

Josh bowed and took up a ready stance. Ito nodded and walked around Josh, studying his stance. He made a few corrections to it. For most of the morning Josh learned a few ready stances and did well. Kimi would peek into the room here and there to observe Josh. He seemed to be doing well and that made him happy. He knew Lord Kinzuburo would be very pleased.

Josh could hardly wait for night to come so he could pillow again with Kinzuburo and Kimi. He spent most of the day with Kimi receiving instruction in the skills any samurai must know and picking up a lot of new Japanese words in the process. In any free moment he would pester Kimi with questions about love making and like a young puppy with a new toy and he found several times during the day he would whisper to Kimi that he had an erection again. They would erupt into laughter and more than once had to be scolded and told to focus on their work.

Kinzuburo peeked into the dojo as he passed by and saw the two teens giggling together and knew what they were laughing about. He heard Ito scold them and decided he would have to speak to them about their behavior in public. Even though a man taking a boy to pillow was accepted, it was still a matter discussed only in private. They were young and they would learn in time. He was their age once, he told himself. He went on his way with a smile on his face. He was looking forward to the evening hours when he could retire to his private quarters and spend time with them.

Kinzuburo spent time with his wife when he could, but it was more of a marriage of convenience than love. He had been obligated to marry her and had done so to please his family and hers when they were very young. He had given here every thing she desired but she was unable to give him the sons and heirs he wanted to continue his line. He knew he would have to approach her sooner or later to ask her if he could adopt the two boys. He appealed to the gods for luck.

As luck would have it, his wife was tired of being married to him. She never really loved him in the first place and had only married him to please her family. Now that they were gone to the Void, she was free to live her life in the manner that pleased her. Kinzuburo agreed to her demands and added a few things to the list. He knew she liked going to the hot springs two days journey to the south so he had his counselor go and purchase a sizable estate for her there. It was luck that there was a bathhouse on the grounds that was fed by a natural hot spring. He presented the house to her a week later and she graciously accepted it. She thanked him for his generosity and left the next morning. Now all he needed was permission from his Liege Lord to adopt Kimi and Josh. He wrote the letter and sent it by runner.

Now he turned his attention to a serious matter that was starting to develop in Honshu. He wondered if he would be called on to offer counsel to help with the situation. The more he dwelled on the situation, the more he felt frustrated. He decided to put the matter to rest for the time being and concentrate on matters here at home. He would deal with it if he was called to.

That evening Josh and Kimi joined Lord Kinzuburo in the bathhouse for the evening bath. Kinzuburo casually watched the teens as they soaped up each other. He felt himself get an erection watching them wash each other's bodies. He heard Kimi sigh as Josh soaped up Kimi's genitals, the teen's penis getting hard. Josh sighed as Kimi returned the favor, gently stroking him as he washed his penis. Kinzuburo smiled as he watched them rinse each other clean. They slipped into the tub with him.

"How was the training today?" he asked.

Josh sighed. "Hard but good. I learned some things today."

"Good. Every day of our lives is an education. Strive to learn something new," Kinzuburo counseled.

"Josh seemed to pick up on things quickly," Kimi said.

Josh nodded. "I seem to learn things much quicker than most people."

"That's good," Kinzuburo commented. "That should make Ito happy. He likes working with eager fast learners."

"That he does," Kimi agreed.

The door opened and two men entered. It was the barber and the masseuse, there to take care of them. Kinzuburo left the tub first and lay down on the table. The old man went right to work, expertly kneading Kinzuburo's muscles. Kinzuburo sighed as he relaxed. This and sex with the boys relaxed him the most. There were few things that Kinzuburo enjoyed the most and this was one of them. The masseuse and the barber were trusted men, men that Kinzuburo could count on. There was more to the old man than what was on the surface. He was just as quick and deadly as old Hiro was. The barber was equally skilled in the fighting arts, his expertise being edged weapons. He went about, setting up his tools of his trade, preparing to cut Kinzuburo's hair and trim his beard. He would cut Josh and Kimi's hair and trim their pubics as well. Kinzuburo didn't like seeing wild looking pubic hair on a boy. He felt they should be cut short and neat looking. He felt it was much more attractive that way. After Josh had his cut down short and trimmed neatly, he agreed it did look much better. Kinzuburo sat down in the chair and the barber got started as Josh was next to lie down on the table for his massage. The old man enjoyed giving Josh a massage. In fact he enjoyed giving boys massages. It was a pleasure he enjoyed greatly. He explained to Kinzuburo once that he loved to feel a boy's growing muscles, his firm supple body, and massaging his member as a final pleasure to the boy. Kinzuburo smiled at the old man and told him he would take care of his boys should he ever take one into his home. That had been years ago and now the old man's patience had paid off. The first time he gave Kimi a massage, he walked around with a smile on his face all day long. Kinzuburo knew he had fulfilled his greatest desire.

Josh looked forward to the night and bedtime. He found himself getting hard even thinking about it. He had to adjust himself a few times and managed to do it discretely. The memory of last night was still strong in his mind. The feelings of pleasure as Kimi and Kinzuburo touched him made him even harder. He found himself longing for their touches again. He wanted and desired them to give him pleasure again. Kinzuburo and Kimi noted the look of lust and desire in Josh's eyes and knew what he wanted. Kimi knew from experience that for the first few months of his life with Kinzuburo he felt like Josh was. His desire for Kinzuburo was unquenchable, the longing and wanting to be with him so strong in him. But Kinzuburo had gently tamed him and taught him to control his desires. Now they had to do that with Josh and that wouldn't be easy. But it would be done.

In bed that night, they laid Josh down on his back and pleasured him to orgasm. Josh loved the feelings he got from the lovemaking. He loved feeling their hands, fingers, lips, mouths, and tongues on his body. The pleasure they gave him and the feelings they drew from his body both delighted and scared him. Josh was equally passionate about giving them their pleasure and did everything he could to please them. When it came time for Kinzuburo to mount Kimi, Josh had taken the man in hand and guided him to Kimi's gate and held him steady as Kinzuburo pushed his penis inside Kimi. That had turned Kinzuburo on so much he came harder and shot more inside Kimi than usual. For that he got lots of kisses from Kimi and Kinzuburo. Those made him feel good.

For several nights the pillowing followed much the same pattern. As Josh learned to relax and he felt wonderfully free in their company and he adored the attention lavished on him by Kinzuburo and Kimi in their foreplay. They both caressed him and were expert at finding the things that gave him the most pleasure. He found he loved Kimi to gently fondle his balls and Kinzuburo to lick his nipples. They would bring him to the very edge of ecstasy then pull back only to mount another assault a few minutes later. Kinzuburo would signal the moment to Kimi and lap Josh's cock between his lips and bring him to an ecstatic climax, taking the juice that pumped into his mouth. As the spasm subsided he would let Josh's cock slip wetly from his lips and Kimi was allowed to suck up the last oozing. Then as Josh lay prostrate and exhausted from the exertion he would watch as Kinzuburo mounted Kimi slowly penetrating him with his thick hard cock and then as they twisted and thrust in passion. Their bodies glistened with perspiration from their experienced and energetic coupling their faces contorted with the passion. Josh longed to know this intensity of feeling but knew he must be patient.

A Serious Discussion

In their private conversations together during the day, Josh would beg Kimi to tell him what it felt like to have Kinzuburo's penis inside him. Kimi would make an attempt but it never satisfied Josh and he implored Kimi to talk to Kinzuburo and ask him if he could penetrate him too. As it happened Kinzuburo had also been thinking about Josh's initiation and he called Kimi for a serious talk.

Fine tea had been prepared and served with small sweet rice cakes before Kinzuburo approached the subject that had been weighing on him.

"It is time I think to initiate Josh completely into our happy little circle. However I worry that he is still very young and must be properly prepared. I am going to entrust this to you."

Kimi bowed in obedience to the request that he took as an order and then confided in Kinzuburo that Josh had begged him to intercede for him and make this very request. Kinzuburo smiled, he was pleased to hear of the boy's eagerness but he knew more than the boy. He knew how thick his own penis was and knew it could hurt Josh if he were not ready. It was so important for a boy's first experience to be as perfect as was possible and not marred with pain or events that could be frightening. He reminded Kimi of his first experience and the preparations that had been made ensure that his passage had been slowly expanded. It has taken several weeks to accomplish this and the result was well worth the effort. Did he not think so? Kimi nodded in agreement and Kinzuburo went on to explain what should be done.

Kinzuburo explained he would have to take a trip on very important business to Honshu but would be back for the moon festival. He then took out a finely carved box that contained a set of ivory plugs graduated in size that Kimi recognized as the one that had been used on him to expand his channel to comfortably accommodate Kinzuburo. The smallest were no more than a half-centimeter in diameter and the largest had been carved as an exact replica of Kinzuburo's erect penis.

"While I am away I want you instruct Josh in the art of muscle control and practice with these tools. You may engage in play with him as we do together on the pillow and I want you pleasure him with these tools but you must not penetrate him yourself! This will be done on the night of the moon festival after my return. Do you understand?" this he added looking directly at Kimi in an attempt to be assured of his faith in him.

Kimi fully understood what was being asked of him and in love for his master he assented happily. He was pleased that Josh would at last have his fondest wish fulfilled.

Kinzuburo added, "For one week before the moon festival you will both refrain from ejaculation. I know this will be very difficult for you as you will still have to exercise with Josh but it is most important that you save your seed. Do you agree to this?"

Kimi nodded realizing how difficult the task before him was since he was used to lovemaking every night and some times in the day as well if Kinzuburo wished it. He also knew that this was a test of him and that he must not fail.

With this agreed, he had Josh summoned and explained the plan to him. Josh of course was delighted and agreed immediately to all the conditions put before him but both Kinzuburo and Kimi knew that this task would not be that easy.

"Good, it is agreed then," said Kinzuburo with a finality that would accept no quarter. "Tomorrow I must leave but before then I think we should pillow here in the garden it is such a beautiful day."

With this cue both Kimi and Josh stood and let their light summer weight kimono slip to the floor and began to obediently unwind their mawashi to reveal their already thickening penises.

Kinzuburo left before dawn the next morning. He rose from the wreckage of their bedding mangled by their passionate lovemaking deep into the night, kissed each boy on the cheek. He bathed, dressed and was already on the road before the boys woke.

It was Josh who woke first and he lay there running through in his mind the conversation of the previous day and the promises that he had made and the promises that had been made to him. He recalled their lovemaking the previous afternoon and the night before and he felt his penis growing yet again. He looked over at Kimi who still lay sleeping and as Josh's adoring eyes scanned Kimi's naked body he saw that his penis too was erect as was often the case in the morning. He reached down to touch it as Kinzuburo had often done to him and he felt Kimi stir at the pleasure of it - perhaps in his sleep imagining it was Kinzuburo.

As Kimi roused out of his sleep he realized it was not Kinzuburo's touch and all. He opened his eyes to Josh and his enclosing arms drew their naked bodies together.

Josh whispered in his ears in practiced Japanese, "Let my instruction begin now."

Josh's Sexual Instruction Begins

The days flew by and Kimi was an excellent teacher. That very first morning he had insisted that they exercise and bathe to ensure Josh was as relaxed as possible. Then he took Josh back to the bedroom and gave him a massage that was especially designed to arouse. Kimi began to work on his buttocks probing deeply into the soft flesh gradually working his finger closer to Josh's tight hole making him feel increasingly intense pleasure. Then he raised Josh on to his knees and made him lay his head on the pillow. In this position it was easy for him to spread Josh's cheeks to reveal his tight pink hole, which he began to stimulate with his tongue. Josh groaned at the intense pleasure he was feeling as Kimi tongue probed deeper and his fingers spread Josh buttocks.

Josh sighed, "Don't stop. Please don't stop!"

Kimi had no intention of stopping but with the tip of his finger massaged the tight muscles. Josh arched his back and gasped as the sensation intensified. Kimi reached around and clasped Josh's hard cock already wet with precum. As he did his anal muscle relaxed and Kimi slipped his small finger a little way into Josh's hole. He felt the muscle clap shut on the unexpected intruder and he pulled back slightly and started sliding his other hand slowly up Josh's cock. This distracted him again and Kimi felt Josh's anal muscle relax again and he slid his finger further in. He did this several times until he had sunk his finger to the second knuckle and was able to move it. This was giving Josh such intense pleasure he came spontaneously and Kimi felt Josh's warm cum flooding into his hand.

Kimi let his finger slip out and he rolled Josh over so that now he could lick up all of Josh's cum for himself and did not have to be content with just the last drops. He cleaned Josh's cock till no more of the sweet taste remained.

"Tonight we will work with the ivory pieces."

The days went by fast and the boys reveled in each other's company. The nights were spent enthusiastically carrying out Kinzuburo's orders but Kimi soon realized they had a problem. Josh's anal canal was very narrow and his muscles extremely sensitive. Although he loved Kimi tongue pleasuring his anus and even more when he was able to slip his long slim finger deep inside him and massage his prostate. He would ejaculate almost immediately and spectacularly that it was all that Kimi could do to get to his cock head fast enough to catch his seed.

But he was not able to take the larger ivory plugs. Perhaps Josh was just too young or lacking in muscle control and although they worked enthusiastically with the he smaller pieces, there were at least four more sizes to go before he could accommodate Kinzuburo's unusually long and thick penis. The tried leaving the plug in all night and even during the day to help stretch the muscles and train them to relax but the progress was very slow. The found a little rice wine would help Josh relax and some oil would greatly increase the pleasure of the insertion of the smaller pieces but still he would scream out in pain if the larger sizes were used.

In Honshu Kinzuburo was involved in serious negotiations involving the political alliances of southern Japan. Unless the necessary agreement could be reached the region could be plunged into war. Kinzuburo would return to his quarters at night exhausted and longed to have his boys at his side so that he could release the enormous tension that built up in him. His penis yearned to slide into Kimi's familiar sleeve and flood him with it juice but Kimi was many days away. To cheer himself he imagined the pleasure that lay in store for him when he returned and Josh would be ready for him as well. Then he would be overcome with new fears.

Although he had a burning desire to penetrate the boy he had sensed that the boy may not be ready and may not be able to receive him. He consoled himself that if any one could prepare him it would be his faithful Kimi. But then a new fear would well up in him. Kimi might not be true to him and, at that very moment might be taking the privilege that was meant for him, the most powerful shogun in Kyushu or worse still they might be taking flight and he might never see them again. Tormented, he wanted so much to call for a concubine to pleasure him but he had taken a vow to remain faithful to the boys as he had demanded of them. Thus several weeks passed with difficult days and sleepless nights. At last the negotiations produced an agreement that promised a peace for a few years and he started his voyage home.

Then the day dawned one week before the moon festival and the boys must refrain from love. They had managed to insert one more larger size with some pain, but there were still two more plugs to go. They were fearful that little progress could be made because they must not risk ejaculation in this last week and break their promise to Kinzuburo.

The Moon Festival

Kinzuburo arrival on the very day of the moon festival and was greeted with mixed joy and foreboding. The boys were as delighted to see their master as he was to see them but Kimi was deeply fearful that he had failed in the task assigned to him. He had a just a few moments with Kinzuburo alone before they had to assemble at the garden pavilion for the festivities.

Kimi bowed deeply to his lord and said, "We have been faithful to your request and refrained from intercourse as you asked and we have diligently worked with the ivory devices but I am fearful my lord that Josh may cry out or tear if you penetrate him tonight. But be assured that he is your faithful servant and only wishes to give your Lordship pleasure in return for all that you have done for him. He will do all that is demanded of him but he is ignorant of what lies before him".

Kinzuburo heard these words with a sinking heart. He had so much set his heart on this night over the last difficult weeks. He had denied himself pleasure for longer than he could ever remember but there was no time to talk. The music had started and the guests were assembled. Kimi handed him a letter that had arrived that morning and then he took his leave. Kinzuburo opened it with trembling fingers. It was from his Liege Lord.

"Lord Kinzuburo, my faithful and trusted servant, I write to you my thanks for your hard work in Honshu and for creating peace in the land once more. I am pleased with your efforts. As to your petition to formally adopt Kimi and the young gaijin named Josh I am pleased to grant you your petition. From this day forward they are now and ever shall be your sons and lovers. May they please you all the days of your life and give you happiness. It is my hope that they shall grow straight and strong into good men under your guidance. Your Master, Ieyasu Toranaga," Kinzuburo read. He sank slowly to his knees, tears of joy running down his face as he studied the adoption decree for each boy. The Gods had granted his prayers and now his life was complete. He rose to his feet as his trusted scribe entered the room.

"Master, are you all right?" he asked, suddenly concerned.

Kinzuburo showed him the letter and the adoption decree for each boy.

His scribe smiled. "You deserve to have them as your sons, Sire. They are very well liked here, especially Josh. He has a quick mind and learns fast. He writes well and knows his numbers. He will be a benefit to you someday. Now let me have those and I shall store them in a safe place."

The evening was beautiful, warm and cloudless as the guests in their fine kimono took the meandering path through the garden to the viewing pavilion. Although the guest wore kimono of rich silk brocade and looked like flowers in a magical garden, Kinzuburo and his attendants always wore plain cotton kimono to this event so as not to offend the proud moon. The cotton was as fine a silk and was cool on these warm autumn nights and caught the gentlest breezes. Soon the moon rose up over the distant mountains and the small lake before the pavilion glimmered in silver. Kinzuburo arrived and was greeted by the applause of the assembled guests.

"Friends and Honored guests, I am pleased to see you all here. There is much to rejoice over this evening. There is peace once more in the land. War, thankfully, has been averted," Kinzuburo announced.

The guests applauded and raised their sake cups in a toast.

"I have another reason to celebrate tonight," Kinzuburo said, motioning to Josh and Kimi to join him. "I wish to formally introduce to you all my adopted sons, Kimi and Josh. Our Master, Lord Toranaga had granted me my request to adopt these two fine young men and take them into my home and give them my name."

Both Josh and Kimi were over come with joy as the guests cheered. The crowd toasted Kinzuburo and his sons and wished them well.

"Now friends and Honored guests, let the celebration begin!" Kinzuburo declared. The delighted guests listened to the fine music and tasted the delicacies Kinzuburo provided for them and were delighted with the dangers that performed in elevated Kyoto style. Kinzuburo was famous for his elegant and refined gatherings and people always seemed unwilling to break the magic spell that had been so cleverly conjured but, at last, the senior guest rose, bowed deeply to Kinzuburo and thanked him for his most gracious hospitality and then lead the smiling and bowing assemblage through the garden to the palanquins waiting for them at the gate.

Kinzuburo, Kimi and Josh at last sat alone bathed in the most radiant light. The stared silently at each other happy just to be in each other's company again. Kinzuburo called for one more bottle of his finest sake and served it to all three himself. They sipped the heady brew and somehow all their apprehensions seemed to slip way. A new firm bond was formed between them that night witnessed by the faithful moon as they hugged each other, tears of joy flowing freely down their faces.

At last Kinzuburo rose slowly and the three moved slowly through the gleaming garden into the house. The shoji were closed behind them but still the moonlight flooded in from the private walled garden that lay on the other side of the room. As Kinzuburo had trained them, the boys slipped off their kimono and unwound their mawashi and naked helped him remove his more complex layered garments.

Kinzuburo took Josh in his arms and carefully laid him down on the tatami. This was to be his special night. He and Kimi began their familiar routine of pleasuring him. During those sleepless nights in Honshu Kinzuburo had dreamed of once more exploring Josh's slim boyish body. What pleasure it gave him to again caress his smooth pale torso, lap his sensitive nipples, run his fingers through the red silky pubic hairs and slide that sheath of skin slowly up and down his rock hard penis.

However, this night Kinzuburo did not stroke him until it sprayed his hot juice. Instead, with a glance at Kimi to assist, he gently rolled Josh onto his back and spread his legs wide. Then Kimi, knowing what was expected of him, took Josh's knees drew then over towards his head so raising his buttocks. Kinzuburo positioned before the spread cheeks and parted them with his hands and slid his wet tongue down the long inviting crease. For the first time the Master savored Josh's tight pink hole.

Kinzuburo burned with desire as his tongue whipped and pressed and Josh groaned with pleasure. Kinzuburo perceived at once that Josh was tense and his canal clamped tight shut. Kimi manage to clasp his soft warm lips around the head of Josh's cock and his tongue exploring the crown and slit. He hoped this would distract Josh as Kinzuburo attempted to penetrate him.

But to Kimi's surprise, Kinzuburo rose to his knees and motioned Kimi to come in front of him. Kimi felt Kinzuburo's hard cock against his back as they both stared lovingly down at Josh. Kimi felt Kinzuburo's slip around his waist to clasp his cock. This he directed to Josh's ass and rubbed the head of Kimi's cock slowly up and down the crack between Josh's buttocks. Josh squirmed and cried out with pleasure and Kimi's cock hemorrhaged precum and slickened the groove.

Kinzuburo's hand, holding Kimi's penis, pressed the head slowly against Josh's hole. It opened easily to let Kimi's cock head penetrate him. Kinzuburo eased back and waited till he saw the muscle spasm subside and together Kinzuburo and Kimi slid Kimi's cock deeply into Josh. Kimi sunk his small cock deeply inside until Josh he could feel Kimi's silky soft pubic hair against his sensitive buttocks. Kinzuburo moved away slightly to watch this passionate embrace of the two boys he had coupled.

He watched Kimi's small round buttocks contract and press forward as he thrust his cock into Josh's ass and then relax as he slide back out only to press forward slowly again. Josh gasped with the pleasure of every thrust from his friend and brother. He pushed his buttocks forward to welcome each advance. The pace increased, their skin began to shine with sweat in the soft light in the soft light as their lovemaking intoxicated the room. The thrusts became more urgent and suddenly Kimi's body stiffened and Kinzuburo know that his cock was pulsing clouds of white cum into his boy's bowels at the moment of the Clouds and the Rain. Not a sound escaped Kimi's lips but Kinzuburo knew what he was feeling the most exquisite pleasure that was pleasure shared.

At long last the spasms subsided and Kimi slumped sideways on to the tatami and his oozing cock slipped from Josh's ass. This was the moment Kinzuburo was waiting for and he quickly positioned himself where Kimi had been and pressed his rampant cock head at Josh's hole, now overflowing with Kimi's sperm.

Deftly Kinzuburo slipped his cock head into ecstatic Josh. Slick with Kimi's sperm, Josh's canal was smooth and receptive and suddenly he found himself taking all of Kinzuburo's thick cock. Kinzuburo clasped Josh to him - letting him fully adjust to his size. Pleasure more intense than he had ever felt before flowed over Josh as he felt Kinzuburo expanding inside him. Kinzuburo's cock was now as deeply planted in Josh as it could be - at last - soul touched soul. It was if they were adrift in time and space.

Kinzuburo stirred and Josh felt the cock moving inside him. Kinzuburo pressed slowly in then withdrew, only to advance again. He stretched Josh's legs back till his knees were beside his head, leaned forward and kissed him on the lips with a deep probing kiss.

Recovering Kimi came to their side and helped position Josh's legs as Kinzuburo moved to penetrate him again. He rolled Josh back onto his shoulders and Kimi placed Josh's flailing legs over Kinzuburo's shoulders so he could pleasure him anew. Kimi helped them as Kinzuburo took Josh in the splits position that allowed him to penetrate even more deeply than before - as Josh groaned. Then Kinzuburo turned him round and Kimi helped him to his knees and spread his legs so Kinzuburo could enter him from behind. At last Kinzuburo signaled Kimi that he was going to cum and Kimi quickly stroked himself and placed his cock to Josh's lips and, as Kinzuburo exploded his sperm into Josh's canal, Kimi spurted into Josh's mouth. Because Kinzuburo had denied himself so long he discharged a huge quantity of semen into Josh who had already received Kimi's. When at last Kinzuburo withdrew it was like a dam burst and a flood of juice ran from Josh's canal.

All three lay there for a long lingering moment breathing deeply, staring upwards, without seeing; stunned by the exquisite pleasure they had all just experienced.

Kinzuburo broke the silence with the words, "My samurai sons have done well in my absence," and kissed each one of them in turn.

Sleepily they each took their positions - Kimi behind Kinzuburo and Josh in front and sleep overtook them.

The Next Morning

As usual Kinzuburo woke first and felt Kimi's familiar shape pressed against his back with his arm looped around his waist. Kimi usually had an erection in the morning and today was no exception. Kinzuburo could feel the shape of the hard little penis that poked provocatively into his soft flesh. Kimi stirred and hugged Kinzuburo more closely, rubbing his penis against the smooth skin as he did so. Kinzuburo felt the blood surge into his own cock and he reached around the sleeping Josh, cuddled in his lap, to see if he were erect too. Of course he was. Kinzuburo's fingers slipped around the hard shaft and he gently and slowly stroked Josh. He felt the brush of his pubic hair and tumbled his small balls in their loose sack and kissed his neck. He slipped the skin cap back down from the head of Josh's cock and ran his fingers round the flaring crown and explored the tip and sensitive underside of the head. It moistened to his touch. Meanwhile, Kimi's hand had found its way to Kinzuburo's cock and he began playing with him exactly as Kinzuburo had taught him. All three were now awake, the heat of their bodies intensified the breathing grew more audible.

Kinzuburo turned to Kimi and said, "I wish to take Josh again this morning. Will you open his gate for me?"

Kimi looked at Kinzuburo with love deep in his eyes. "Yes Father, I shall open my brother's gate for your love to go inside him."

Kinzuburo grew emotional as he gently rubbed Kimi's face. Josh got up on his knees and kissed Kinzuburo's cheek.

"Thank you for making me your son. I give you my word I shall do every thing you ask of me and shall strive to make you and my brother proud of me," Josh said.

"I am already proud of both of you, my son. You and your brother Kimi have pleased me greatly. I love you both," Kinzuburo hugged both boys to him. They held each other for a bit and then Josh broke his embrace on them and turned to Kimi.

"Will you open me for our Father, brother?" Josh asked Kimi. Kimi smiled as he handed Josh the pot of oil needed. Josh took just a dab and lubricated Kimi's penis as he lay down on his back. Kimi took hold of Josh's feet and raised them in the air, exposing Josh's gate to their father.

Kinzuburo felt his cock expand and get hard as he brought his face to Josh's buttocks. He started to lick at Josh's gate, making the boy moan in pleasure. Josh continued to stroke Kimi's cock, making sure it was well oiled for penetration.

Kimi gently pulled away as he got too close. He wanted to save his seed and put it inside Josh. He wanted to experience Clouds and Rain once more while he was inside Josh. Kimi looked up as Kinzuburo tapped him on the shoulder and smiled.

"Come, my son. Time to pleasure your brother," Kinzuburo said.

Kimi came around to place himself between Josh's legs as Kinzuburo took Kimi's cock in hand. Kinzuburo guided Kimi to Josh's gate and into it. He watched as Kimi's cock head slowly sank deeply into Josh's flesh. Josh shivered and moaned out loud as Kimi pushed his penis into him. Kimi felt the feelings wash over him.

"Oh Kimi, you feel so good inside of me," Josh cried.

"Feel my love inside you, brother. Feel me become a part of you," Kimi whispered as he started making love to Josh.

Josh felt Kimi's penis moving inside of him and he closed his eyes, letting the feelings overcome him. He felt like he was flying high, felt like he had left his body and gone to another place. He felt tears on his face and listened to his moans of pleasure as Kimi pleasured his canal with his penis.

Kinzuburo watched Kimi make love to his brother and the sight of it filled him with joy. Kimi got closer to the Clouds and the Rain. Each thrust of his cock deep into Josh brought him closer to the moment of release.

"Oh my brother, I'm going," Kimi whispered as the Clouds and the Rain overtook him.

Kimi felt himself ejaculate into Josh as both of them cried out in joy, Josh urging him onward and Kimi loudly proclaiming his love for Josh. Kimi kept on pressing his cock deep into Josh until the moment was over. He sighed as he felt his cock lose its strength and slowly slip out of Josh. He looked up at Kinzuburo, tears running down his cheeks. Kinzuburo took him in his arms and soothed the teen.

"You did good, my son. Rest now while I make love to Josh," he said as he laid Kimi down on the bed.

Kinzuburo turned his attention to Josh. Josh raised his legs once more and Kinzuburo could see a bit of Kimi's cum leaking from Josh's gate. Kinzuburo moved up between Josh's legs and then was startled when a hand took his member and stroked it to full hardness, lubricating it with a light coating of the oil.

"Make love to him, Father. Give him your love and strength," Kimi whispered into Kinzuburo's ear.

Kimi guided Kinzuburo's cock to Josh's entry and held him steady as the man slowly pushed his cock into Josh. Josh closed his eyes and tilted his head back and let out a low moan that turned Kinzuburo on even more. He pushed himself all the way into Josh and stopped, giving the teen a chance to get used to having a big cock inside him again.

"Please Father, make love to me," Josh moaned.

Kinzuburo started the lovemaking, moving his cock gently inside Josh. Josh moaned as he felt Kinzuburo's cock stroke his insides. Pleasure overtook his body once more. Again he felt he had gone to another special place. He looked into Kinzuburo's face and saw tears in the older man's face. Josh was moved by the look of love in the man's eyes.

"Please Father, make love to me. Fill me with your strength and love," Josh whispered. "I love you."

Kinzuburo was deeply moved by Josh's proclamation of love for him. He felt his cock move deeper inside Josh and felt the beginnings of the Clouds and the Rain coming over him.

"I'm going... I'm filling you up... with my love... my strength. I love you, my son," Kinzuburo whispered as he felt himself come deep inside of Josh.

Josh moaned loudly as he felt Kinzuburo's cock expand slightly and pulse a number of times. He knew the man had cum inside of him.

"Thank you Father," Josh moaned in joy.

Kinzuburo sighed once the moment passed. He felt his spirit returning to his body as his sizeable penis slipped from Josh's gate. Kimi gently wiped both of them off with a damp cloth and then snuggled down with them, Josh between him and Kinzuburo.

They rested for a time and then got up and opened the shoji screen to let in the day. The soft cooling breeze blew through the room, gently blowing over their naked bodies. Josh stretched his body and in a flash of inspiration, began a slow dance using karate moves he had learned from Lord Ito. Kinzuburo and Kimi sat in the remains of the bed, entranced by Josh's slow sensuous graceful moves. Josh closed his eyes and let his inner spirit guide his movements. He continued his dance, listening to the music in his head. He felt as if he got taken to another place, a place different from the one he had experienced as Kinzuburo had made love to him. Josh kept going until the music faded and the moment ended. He opened his eyes and looked at Kimi and Kinzuburo. There was delight on their faces and joy in their eyes.

"Josh, that was beautiful! What made you do that?" Kinzuburo asked Josh as he embraced the teen.

"I don't know. I felt moved to do it. I hope you liked my dancing," Josh said.

Kinzuburo smiled. "One of these days I must take you to a person I know and have a set of dancing clothes made for you. I know of a Lord's catamite who dances beautifully and he had such clothes."

"Thank you for your kindness Father. I would love that," Josh said as he bowed.

"It is time to start the day. You two have been kept from your training too long. Now dress and report to Lord Ito," Kinzuburo ordered them as he stood up. Kimi and Josh dressed Kinzuburo first, and then helped each other with their mawashi and kimonos. Then they dashed off to Lord Ito's classes. He nodded at them as they arrived. He sent Kimi off to his group and then turned to Josh.

"Let us see how much you have learned," he said, taking up the bokken and assuming a stance.

Josh's testing had begun.

Samurai Life

Josh learned many things in the days and weeks that passed by. Lord Ito proved himself to be a hard taskmaster and Kinzuburo proved himself to be the same, giving Josh and Kimi many assignments to perform in and around in his fief.

Their father had Josh and Kimi watched a few times and when he was absolutely sure that they were capable of performing any mission he started entrusting them with bigger and more important things.

Both Kinzuburo and Kimi began to teach Josh to control his desires so that he didn't want sex all the time. It was hard for Josh at first but as time went on the urges became less controlling. Naturally they continued their lovemaking in the bed all three shared, but it was now usually a few times a week instead of every night. When the urges threatened to overcome Josh Kimi or Kinzuburo would suck Josh to an explosive climax and then he would be able to settle down again. Josh learned self control and as a result when the three of them made love to each other, the lovemaking was even more enjoyable.

It was nearly the end of summer that Ito felt Josh was ready for the final trials. He informed Lord Kinzuburo at lunch one afternoon with Hiro present.

"The boy has learned his lessons very well," Ito praised Josh.

Kinzuburo smiled. "I have you to thank for that, old friend. However, Josh's lessons are not over. Life will now teach him the things that we could not. He will encounter situations that will sorely test him. We will then see if the lessons he has learned from us have taken hold. I feel that it was his karma to come here and do great things. Only time will tell."

Hiro nodded. "I agree, old friend. We were once his age, and we did learn many things that our Liege Lord and life taught us."

Ito smiled. "Yes we did."

"Then begin the final trials for Josh. Take as many men and time needed to properly administer the tests. If he passes them, then I shall award him the Samurai status," Kinzuburo ordered.

"At once my Lord!" Ito bowed and left.

At dinner that night, Kinzuburo informed Josh what was to happen. Josh listened carefully to Kinzuburo.

"You are to leave at first light. You are to obey Lord Ito in all things," Kinzuburo ordered Josh.

Josh bowed, his head touching the tatami. "Yes Master."

Kinzuburo nodded. "I wish you luck, my son."

"Thank you Father," Josh said.

They refrained from any lovemaking that night knowing Josh needed his sleep. He wouldn't be getting much sleep in the week he would be gone. Kimi and Kinzuburo saw him off at first light the next morning. As they watched Josh ride off with Lord Ito in the lead, Kimi appealed to the gods to help Josh succeed. Kimi knew what was in store for Josh, having passed his own tests last summer. He turned and followed Kinzuburo back into the house. There were things to be done.

Josh followed Ito to the testing grounds, riding nearly a full day there. Once they arrived, Ito quickly put Josh to work in helping set the camp up. He didn't let Josh have a moment's rest. Josh literally dropped into his bed late that night. Ito nodded his approval. So far the boy had worked hard, never complaining. He wondered if that had anything to do with the boy's past as a cabin boy on the sailing ship he had arrived to Japan on. Well the week would tell if he was Samurai or not. Ito settled into his bed and slept soundly until a guard woke him at first light.

Ito picked up a spoon and a pot and crept towards Josh's bed. Josh was barely on the edge of waking up, a habit he had acquired long ago from living on the sailing ship the Hound. He suddenly became aware of someone creeping up on him and he reacted, reaching for his wooden sword as he jumped to his feet. He quickly attacked Ito with it, forcing the man to defend himself with the pot. Josh managed to best him in six moves, the point of the wood sword at the man's throat.

"Well done. If I were the enemy I would be dead," Ito said.

Josh backed up as Ito stood up. "Morning sire," Josh said, bowing.

"Morning exercise in five minutes," Ito ordered as he walked away towards the cooking fire.

Josh stretched and loosened up his muscles and joined the samurai for morning exercise. Ito gave him a few minutes for breakfast and then set him to task. Josh worked hard all day, giving all he had and more. Ito was pushing him very hard. Josh knew it was all part of the testing. It was Ito's way of finding out what Josh was made of. Josh understood why it was necessary.

Josh worked very hard the week he was tested by Ito. So far he had passed every test set before him, including the test of his loyalty. He passed that even though it hurt him to have his loyalty to the man who was his Master and Father questioned. He stared down Ito when the man told him he passed that test.

"Never ever doubt my loyalty to my Father again," Josh growled at Ito, clearly pissed off at the man.

The other samurai backed up, unnerved by Josh's display of anger. Ito just stood his ground and stared at Josh.

"It was necessary," he said calmly at the enraged teen.

"Lord Kinzuburo will hear of this. I shall question your loyalty to him then," Josh snapped.

"Do what you feel you must," Ito said.

He turned on his heel and walked away. Neither Josh nor Ito saw one of the samurai slip away, or see a pigeon take flight towards the castle a few moments later. Ito carried on the testing as if nothing had happened. Josh continued to give his all. The week ended with full combat against all of the ten samurai present. Josh managed to best them all. Ito gave Josh one of his rare smiles.

"You have done well. I shall inform Lord Kinzuburo of your success when we return," Ito said.

Josh bowed. "Thank you sensei (teacher)."

"We shall rest tomorrow and return the day after," Ito informed him as he sipped a cup of sake.

Josh nodded and retired early. He was asleep before he laid his head down on his pillow. He dreamed of a shadow following him and him fighting it. As he drank a cup of tea the next morning he told Ito of his dream.

"Perhaps it is something that is coming out of your past to confront you once more," Ito said as he ate his breakfast. "I would not dismiss the warning." Josh nodded, heeding the advice.

He relaxed most of the day, going swimming in the pond they were camped next to. Some of the samurai watched him with curiosity. Josh grinned and taught them a thing or two about swimming. By the end of the day the samurai had the basic stroke down and enjoyed playing in the water.

They packed every thing except for the bedrolls and set off at first light the next morning. Josh was eager to get home. He cheered when he saw the castle in the distance. Ito told Josh to take the point because he earned it.

At dinner that evening, Kinzuburo praised Josh for a job well done. Josh would be presented with his swords and formal kimono the next evening.

"Now let us discuss the matter of Josh's test of loyalty to me," Kinzuburo began.

Josh saw Ito blink in surprise. He turned his attention back to Lord Kinzuburo as the man consulted a piece of paper.

"Josh, I must agree with Ito. It was necessary. It is a test I have ordered to be administered to all who wish to be in my service. Never once have I ever doubted your loyalty to me or I would have not taken you to be my son. Your sense of loyalty to me pleases me. Please do not be angry with Lord Ito. He was doing what I ordered him to," Kinzuburo told Josh.

Josh turned to Lord Ito and bowed, his head touching the tatami mat. "Lord Ito, please forgive me for what I said to you. It was not respectful, and neither was I."

Ito bowed. "I accept your apology. I was moved by your loyalty to our Lord and Master. Not once did I ever doubt you. You are more Samurai than I am or ever hope to be."

"That settles the matter. Josh will be awarded his rank tomorrow evening. Kimi will assist," Kinzuburo ordered.

Kimi, Josh, and the samurai in the room all bowed as one.

Josh sat tall and proud the next evening in front of the assembled ranks. Kinzuburo motioned for silence.

"Josh has come to us from a distant land, a stranger to our shores. In the time he has been here he has proven his worth and more. Since he had lost his family in that distant land, I took him under my roof and provided for him. He in return asked to serve me. Not once has he failed me. I rewarded him by adopting him and giving him my name. He in return worked hard to train in the Way of the Samurai, wanting to remain in my service. I am proud to say he has passed every test set in front of him. For that I hereby confer upon him the rank of Samurai with all of the privileges and rights," Kinzuburo said.

Kimi rose with a tray in his hands. On the tray were a formal kimono and a set of swords. He approached Josh, got on his knees, bowed to Josh and presented the tray to him. Josh bowed and took the tray from Kimi, accepting his new status.

"I pray that I will be worthy of this great Honor you have bestowed upon me, Lord Kinzuburo," Josh said loudly.

"You have already proved yourself worthy. Wear them well," Kinzuburo said with joy in his voice.

Kimi led Josh to a small room to the side of the grounds and helped him dress in his kimono and properly place the swords.

"I am so happy for you, my brother and lover. Now together we can defend our Father from all who wish to do him harm," Kimi said.

Josh grinned. "He's been so good to me. I wanted to do this to repay his kindness and love."

Kimi checked Josh over once more and then led him back out to the assembled. The samurai loudly cheered Josh as he took his place next to Kimi in the ranks. Now his life was complete.

Back to the Sea

Josh and Kimi sat in the throne room waiting to find out why Kinzuburo had summoned them. He walked in a moment later, looking grave.

"Josh, Kimi, we have been ordered by the Shogun himself to go up to Matsuyama to investigate a rumor of pirates there. These bastards escape by ship to the high seas according to the rumors. Josh, what do you know of such men?" Kinzuburo asked.

Josh sighed. "They are just that, my Lord. Bastards. They hold little regard to life and would kill anyone in a heartbeat. They are dogs with no Honor. If we were to find them I would consider it my duty as Samurai and as a man to dispose of them. Our land would be better off without them."

There was much agreement to Josh's words.

"Well spoken, son of Kinzuburo," the guest official said as he walked into the throne room.

Josh politely bowed. "May I introduce myself to the Honored guest?"

The man bowed back. "Of course, forgive me for not knowing your name, I was unable to attend Lord Kinzuburo's Moon Festival."

"My name is Josh, my Lord," Josh said, bowing deep.

"I am Lord Toshio, a humble Samurai in the service of my Lord the Shogun," the man said, returning the bow.

Josh sat up straight and noticed the servant had disappeared. No matter. He would see to the man's comfort himself. He had not known the Kinzuburo ordered the servant to leave. He wanted to see if Josh would pay the proper respects to the man.

"Please make yourself comfortable," Josh said, rising to his feet and walking over to the small brazier.

Kinzuburo and Toshio watched Josh as he quickly and efficiently assembled the tea tray. Josh stood up and carried it over to Kinzuburo and Toshio. Josh carefully got down on his knees and set the tray down. He faced Toshio.

"Would the Honored guest like a cup of tea?" Josh asked him.

Toshio bowed. "I would be honored to accept a cup of tea."

Josh carefully measured out the right amount of the tea and poured the hot water in the cup. He took up the bamboo whisk and gave it a few turns, mixing the tea and the hot water together. He held it out and bowed at the same time. Toshio took the cup and tasted it.

"Ah, very good," he praised Josh, a smile on his face.

Josh turned to Kinzuburo. "Would the Master like a cup of tea?"

"I would, thank you my son," Kinzuburo said.

Josh repeated the procedure and handed Kinzuburo his cup, bowed, and quietly retreated. Kinzuburo was very pleased with Josh's performance. He had done himself proud and conducted himself honorably. The two men discussed the details of the pirates as they were known.

Josh mentally reviewed what he knew of sailing ships. He was already putting together a plan of defense should they encounter the pirates while on the open sea. Kimi had to nudge him a few times to pay attention. Josh looked up to see Kinzuburo looking at him. Immediately Josh bowed. "Master?"

"What were you thinking about that was so important?" Kinzuburo asked, staring at Josh.

Josh could tell Kinzuburo was a bit angry.

"I was thinking of ways to defend our ship on our voyage should we encounter the pirates," Josh replied.

Toshio smiled. "Very wise my young friend. It is always good to form a plan of action before going into any situation. However, there are times when one cannot properly plan before hand when one does not know what or how the situation will turn out. Therefore, how does one know what to do? He must choose the best course of action and then act on it, and hope it is a wise choice."

Josh bowed deep. "Thank you Lord Toshio for teaching me that lesson. I will remember your words."

Toshio turned to Kinzuburo. "He is truly samurai. You have always chosen your Samurai wisely. I commend you."

Kinzuburo bowed. "Thank you for your kind words. I had forgotten he was on a sailing ship when he came to our land. His advice will be useful should we find ourselves in a fight with them."

"Then you must sail quickly. Do not waste time. They must be stopped, and stopped quickly."

For the next few days Oita buzzed with activity as Kinzuburo's galley (a type of ship) was prepared. Hiro, Kinzuburo, Kimi, and a group of Samurai listened as Josh described the ship that they had been told about giving them the specific layout and details about the best way to take down a ship. Once he finished he sat down. Kinzuburo nodded as he turned to Hiro.

"Speak," he commanded.

"My Lord, Josh has indeed prepared well a plan of action. I vote we use it," Hiro said.

"Very well. Make it so," Kinzuburo ordered.

Josh watched from the docks as provisions and barrels of water were hoisted on board. Josh marveled at the way the men worked in unison, not a wasted move among them. Kimi and Kinzuburo stood from a distance and watched Josh direct the crew. Hiro came up next to them and snorted, stomping his feet.

"The captain and his mate are nowhere to be found, the cowards!" Hiro ranted.

Kimi turned to the men. "The crew has told me that Josh stepped in and taken charge of the loading. He has everything stacked and packed in places that will allow us to freely and quickly should the need to defend the ship arise. All of them have gained much respect for him. Two of them even staged a fistfight to see how he would react. He took them both aside and talked to them in private, instead of embarrassing them in public like the captain has done many times. Both of them have sworn loyalty to him."

Kinzuburo looked shocked. "Well, there is more to your brother than any of us can see. In that case, I shall appoint him captain for the voyage. His experience on the sea will come in handy."

Kimi grinned. "Oh he will be very happy!"

Kinzuburo addressed the assembled samurai and ship's crew that evening, informing them of the mission set before them.

"Josh will be commanding the ship for the voyage," he announced.

There were cheers from the assembly. Josh smiled as Kimi patted him on the back.

"Thank you Master," Josh bowed.

Kinzuburo turned to him. "You earned it by your hard work."

"I will not fail," Josh said.

Kinzuburo nodded. "We sail at first light. Be ready to go!"

The assembly bowed as Kinzuburo left the room. Josh stood up and walked to a man. He bowed to Josh.

"Is every thing ready?" Josh asked.

"Secured and stored properly," the man said.

"Thank you. Please set a guard detail before turning in," Josh ordered the man.

"It will be done, kaigun (captain)!" he bowed.

Josh bowed to the men. "Good night, all."

They bowed back in return. Never had they ever been treated with such respect! Surely Josh was a true samurai.

The Night's Bliss

Josh and Kimi found Kinzuburo in their quarters. Kinzuburo saw a serious look on Josh's face.

"You wish to ask me something, my son. What is it?" Kinzuburo asked Josh, resting his hand on the youth's shoulder.

"Father, I wish to ask a favor," Josh said.

"What is it, my son?" Kinzuburo asked.

"Let me join with you, let me make love to you," Josh said.

Kinzuburo took his hands. "I would love to take you inside of me, so that we can be complete. Kimi will join with me as well. Only then will we be truly father, sons, and brothers."

Josh smiled. "Thank you Father."

They took turns bathing each other in the bathhouse and then went into their bedroom. They lay down on the bed and made themselves comfortable, Josh lying on Kinzuburo's right and Kimi on the man's left. Kinzuburo sighed as he felt the boys start to caress him and give pleasure. The lovemaking had started.

The boys touched and caressed Kinzuburo's body gently causing him pleasure. He felt the hands wander down to his penis and grasp it. Josh and Kimi coordinated their hands to stroke Kinzuburo's penis. Kinzuburo shivered and groaned in pleasure as he felt himself grow hard in their hands. Josh and Kimi explored Kinzuburo's penis, gently pulling the skin down and away from the head. Josh gently blew on the exposed penis head and Kinzuburo shivered from the pleasure. Kimi and Josh began licking at Kinzuburo's ample erection, giving the man great pleasure. Kinzuburo ran his hands down their naked backs as they pleasured him. He felt their fingers curl around his balls, heavy with his seed. The boys gently opened his legs and got down to his balls and licked at them. Kinzuburo opened his legs further, giving them access to his most private place. He felt their tongues lap at his gate, each boy taking a turn at his fleshy gate. His desire to have them inside of him grew too great.

"Oh my sons, please make love to me," the man moaned.

Kimi gently stroked Josh's penis first, gently coating the teen's erect penis with a very thin coat of the oil. He guided Josh's penis to Kinzuburo's gate and helped him enter. Josh sighed as he felt himself slide in. He couldn't believe how tight Kinzuburo felt on his penis. He groaned in ecstasy as he pushed himself in further.

"Oh Father, you feel so great!" Josh cried out.

Once he was firmly inside Kinzuburo instinct took over and Josh began making love to the man. He closed his eyes and felt the joy and passion rise up from deep inside of him. He felt himself leave his body and ascend to another plane of existence. Josh felt tears rolling down his cheeks and didn't know why he was crying. He kept making love to Kinzuburo until the feelings got too much for him.

"I'm going, Father. Accept my love, my strength, my essence inside of you," Josh cried as he felt himself cum inside of Kinzuburo.

Kinzuburo held a crying Josh in his arms and wondered at what his visions he had seen and heard as he made love to him.

Kimi helped Kinzuburo lay Josh down and cover him as the teen slowly slept into the blessed release of sleep. Kinzuburo turned to Kimi.

"Come my faithful Kimi, join with me. Make love to me, my son," Kinzuburo said with a smile.

Kimi watched as Kinzuburo stroked his penis, spreading a thin coat of oil to it. Kinzuburo lay on his back once more and presented his gate to Kimi. Kimi gently pushed himself into Kinzuburo and started making love to the man. He closed his eyes and gave himself up to the feelings. They were much different than the feelings he experienced when he opened Josh for Kinzuburo. This time he was mating with his Master and it filled him with joy. Kimi felt himself grow closer to his orgasm and he cried out in joy.

"Father! I'm going, Father! Accept my love for you!" Kimi cried as he ejaculated his seed deep into Kinzuburo, the moment of the Clouds and the Rain strong on him.

He felt a part of him touch and join with Kinzuburo's spirit and soul. He felt a part of Josh there as well and he too wept joyously at the love he felt there. Kinzuburo caught Kimi in his arms and marveled at the power of love. He laid Kimi down on the bed on the other side of him and gently wiped the tears away from Kimi's face. He watched Kimi's face soften and take on an angelic look as he slipped into sleep. Kinzuburo sighed and thanked the gods for sending him two wonderful boys to love.

"I am so lucky," he whispered to the night bird that chirped outside the window, believing it was one of the Gods visiting him. "I am so lucky to be blessed with these two wonderful boys, my sons and lovers. I could not possibly ask for more. Thank you for granting an old man his fondest wish."

The bird nodded and chirped twice more and then took flight and left. Kinzuburo settled down between his sons and pulled the silk sheet over then and fell asleep. The moon and stars marched overhead as the moon cast her light over the sleeping forms, blessing their sleep.
