Riku took a deep breath, and nodded slowly.
"...I trust you, Kogenta. Tell me how to prove it."
Kogenta smiled in satisfaction. He stepped forward, and began to remove Riku's outer shirt. The human seemed a little confused, but graduated to freaked out when Kogenta pulled his shirt of. "Kogenta! What are you...?"
"Oi, relax, Riku. You need to remove all your clothes for the ritual." Riku was still a little uncertain, but allowed Kogenta to finish pulling his shirt off. He stepped back then, and blushed as he slowly removed his own pants.
"So... is this a bathing thing, or...?" He couldn't manage to look Kogenta in the eyes, and his shyness wasn't at all helped by the fact that his Shikigami had folded his arms and was boldly staring at him as he undressed. He wondered if it would be like the simple trust exercises he saw on TV, where one person would fall back into the other's arms. He doubted it would be that simple, as such things were the closest the modern world could get to mass producing a complicated relationship like trust. He didn't dare suggest something like that to Kogenta, who had raged at the television for hours when he saw it demonstrated. But what could require him to take off all his clothes? It would leave him in a very vulnerable state, was that it? He had to trust Kogenta when he was at his most defenseless? Maybe he would just have to put on some ceremonial garment. That idea appealed to him, as the ancient costumes of the Ten-Ryuu had always seemed really cool and natural to him. Maybe he would have to wear one and slice a special kind of In as part of the Ceremony.
But Kogenta just gave him a toothy smirk. "Something like that." Kogenta reached down and pulled off his own shirt, yet didn't remove anything else. Riku was more confused than ever, and had gotten his shoes and socks off. Now he was just wearing his underwear, and was very reluctant to remove it. Kogenta just looked at him expectantly and waited. Half turning to the side, Riku tried to hide both his rear end and his maleness from his partner as he quickly pulled down his underwear and covered himself with his hands, his face deep red.
Kogenta just chuckled at his shyness and stepped forward. "Alright, Riku. Now comes the hard part." His face lost its mirth and he looked very serious. "I'm going to start the ritual now, and it will probably frighten you." Kogenta wanted desperately to tell his human that all would be well, that he would never even consider hurting him, and that he would even find the experience pleasant if he just relaxed and tried to enjoy it. Unfortunately, he couldn't say any of that. The ritual required the utmost Trust, and Trust was something you gave freely, not in return for reassurance. Oh sure, if your heart had been broken and you doled out Trust sparingly, it was understandable that you had to be comforted before giving it out. But Riku trusted friend and foe alike, and if he didn't prove that he trusted his own partner without limit, they were in trouble. "...If you become to scared, just tell me so and we'll stop." He couldn't help but add that part. Riku was his Toujinshi, and as such was owed Kogenta's devotion, but somehow this human was very precious to him. And seeing him naked and trembling and afraid like this make Kogenta want to break the rules and tell him everything.
No, he had to be strong. "Alright, Riku, give me your hands."
Riku wanted to reach out instantly to demonstrate his Trust, but his hands moved slowly. He couldn't help it, he was very uncertain. But that was alright as far as Kogenta was concerned. Reluctance wasn't a problem, so long as it ended with demonstrating that you trusted in spite of your fear. He gently took Riku's hands into his own much larger paws and raised them up to his mouth, rubbing the soft skin of the back of Riku's hands against his lips.
Riku was blushing for an entirely new reason now. Kogenta regretted that they wouldn't have more time to play like this, but he knew it was best to start and finish the ceremony so as not to draw out Riku's suffering.
In one smooth motion, he pushed both hands inside his mouth and swallowed, dragging Riku forward as his arms were gulped up to his elbows. The look on Riku's face now was priceless, and Kogenta fought back the powerful urge to laugh. This was serious, dammit, and if he laughed he might honestly choke, and this was the last way he wanted to die. He swallowed again, this time putting his arms behind Riku's back and pulling him forward as he did so. The scene almost resembled a lover pulling his precious one closer, a vision that was not lost on Kogenta. He shoved it to the back of his mind, as now was not the time for such thoughts, either. Riku looked very afraid, and yet his mouth was firmly shut, either because he was keeping his end of the deal by not objecting, or because he was too frightened or shocked to speak. It would still count as Trust so long as he didn't struggle or cry out, but Kogenta didn't feel this was fair, so he looked as calm and professional as he could with a pair of arms in his mouth, and rubbed the back of Riku's head to calm him. Riku did seem to calm down just a little, and stopped weakly tugging back against the suction of Kogenta's throat. Their faces were almost touching now, and Kogenta couldn't help but pause and stare into Riku's eyes. They'd never been this close before... No! Later! Ceremony first! He opened his mouth much wider, and took RIku's head inside.
His tongue lapped the frightened boy's face, and he gulped again, and again, until the upper section of Riku's back was inside of him as well. The human tasted so nice...! To feel his warm, living flesh sliding down his throat was exquisite! He really hoped that Riku would be up for doing this again. He reached down to Riku's waist and lifted him up, where the human's legs kicked feebly, and began using gravity to help him consume his friend. Kogenta couldn't help but notice that his human's bare ass was not unappealing as it wiggled above him. The Shikigami scowled to himself. He probably should have resolved all these unspoken issues before they began, and yet he was certain they would be easier to get through once they had established the vital bond of Trust.
He continued to swallow and now his tongue licked Riku's belly button which prompted a shuddering giggle all through RIku's body, and made the Shikigami smile. The Shikigami sniffed his friend, and was pleased that Riku had washed himself thoroughly before he went out this night, as it made him easier to swallow and more palatable for the tiger's tongue. To avoid anymore awkwardness, he opened his mouth wide again and engulfed Riku up to the top of his thighs, and couldn't help but lap at the human's maleness when he did. Both of them shuddered pleasantly at that, and Kogenta kept gulping to avoid thinking about it.
Soon, Riku had pooled entirely into Kogenta's stretching stomach, and the furry mound bulged out in front of the white tiger as he wrapped his tongue around the human's feet before sending them down to join his friend inside of him. His ears were perked, but all he heard were the gurgles as his stomach accepted its new occupant and Riku's faint whimpers.
He sighed with relief. Riku had passed the test. Now there was just his part of it, and then Riku's turn. He rubbed the Riku-shaped bulge fondly and smiled. "Oi, Riku. You alright? I think you guessed by now that this is the test, and you passed." He could actually feel the tension drain out of Riku inside of him and shivered. It... his stomach felt so sensitive...! He could feel every inch of his human's body, and he was loving it. He didn't even realize he was wearing a dopey expression of contentment as he sank to the ground, clutching the bulge. "Don't worry, you're safe, of course. In the morning I'll let you out, and it will be my turn." Riku started to speak up, but Kogenta tightened his abdominals firmly to hug him more tightly. "Hush now. I know you're tired, so just try and get some sleep..." The human began to realize this was true, and the warm and comfortably wet walls of Kogenta's stomach were strangely soothing. He was asleep before he realized it, leaving Kogenta awake and lounging in his pile of pillows, stroking the bulge and thinking.
Of course Riku was safe inside of him...
But did he really have to let him out in the morning? It seemed much too soon...
