Chapter Text
Birds chirps and the sun grazed his scratched face. A fly buzzing and landing on his face made him twitch awake. Blue eyes snapped open and he sat up as quick as he could, realizing the last moment he was conscious he was in danger.
He looked outward at the stream ahead of him. A waterfall not far off, probably where he fell from. It was a miracle he hadn’t broken any bones. He looked down at himself in his most natural glory. His cock and tendrils out for all dynamics to lay eyes on. Thankfully there was nobody around.
He sat with furrowed eyebrows trying to recall what he was doing before he ended up here. He stood on wobbly feet and rubbed his sore bare ass from the pebbles. Deciding to wade in the water, he stared at the waterfall. The more thought the more frustrated he became. It must’ve been important.
Takemichi’s head snapped towards where he had washed up. Lowering his body into the water and ducking behind a large bolder, two men come from the dense forest. They wore similar outfits. Animal pelts and loin cloths of the same color, as tribes did. Black loin cloths with gold stitched decor, similar animal pelts on their chests. They both wore black arm bands on their biceps. Both men had black long hair, except one with blonde streaks and the other plain and dark as night. Takemichi couldn’t smell their dynamics from where he was.
Which reminded Takemichi, who’s land was he in?
‘Shit the net is gone’ one of the men with growled.
‘Doesn’t look like an animal either’ the other said sniffing the air.
‘What’s wrong?’ The other black haired man sniffed the air.
‘Someone was recently here’ the black and blonde haired boy chimed
‘It’s not a familiar scent either’
‘You think this person stole our net?’
‘Don’t know...it’s just unfamiliar’ Takemichi could hear the voice coming closer to the rock he was hiding behind. He closed his eyes and held his breath. Hopefully they couldn’t -
‘Found you’ the voice said peering from above the rock
Takemichi screamed. Scent immediately turning sour and startled. Takemichi swam as far and as fast as he could away from the two. When he came up for air he immediately realized he had gone too close towards the waterfall, the water pulling him in. Panicked he tried to swim against the pull, only leaving him tired
He looked around and could not see the two men anymore. He had lost them but this would be the end for him. He felt his body fatiguing and the crash of the waterfall getting stronger. It wouldn’t be long until he’d get caught under the pressure.
Takemichi sat up suddenly spurting water, hacking his lungs for air. When he finally caught his breath, he felt something blunt at the base of his head.
‘Not one more move, omega’ the voice was deep, chilling and Takemichi was too scared to not obey.
‘You don’t need to go that far Baji. Can’t you smell he’s frightened?’ He heard the other voice
‘Don’t give two shits. We don’t know him’
‘He appears to be an unmated omega. How could he possibly be a threat?’
The one behind him sighed and the blunt object lowered.
‘State your name’ the chilling voice ‘Baji’ said
‘Takemichi Hanagaki’ his voice came out as a squeak
‘Who’s territory do you come from?’
‘I...live on the outskirts of the black dragons territory. My tribe was small and we were farmers’ he muttered eyes beginning to water
‘Enough Baji. He’ll piss himself’ the other said handed him his fur pelt he was wearing.
‘For decency’ his eyes avoided Takemichi’s
He immediately knew this man, who smelled like a beta meant no harm. His own anxiety easing, he took the pelt and wrapped it around him.
‘Follow’ the alpha barked and began to walk off towards the forest
‘Wait-! Um! I don’t know you?!’ He said and the friendlier man looked behind his shoulder
‘Do you wish to die or become some random alphas cock sleeve? If so stay by all means’ he turned back around and walked off
Takemichi wasn’t sure what to do, but he didn’t have many options. Actually this was the only option.
‘Um can you tell me what territory were in?’
The taller man, he Takemichi confirmed was named Baji, scoffed and answered ‘Toman’
Takemichi blinked rapidly. Toman? He was quite a long way from home. In order to get to Toman he must’ve crossed no mans land in order to get there.
It caused even more confusion to Takemichi.
It seemed like they were walking for a while before Takemichi could smell fire and other peoples scents. They must be very close to their camp.
‘Immediately to the main hut?’ Kazutora questioned and Baji nodded. Takemichi gulped and his scent flared in confusion and anxiety.
‘Don’t say dumb shit and you won’t die’ Baji shrugged and pressed forward.
The tribe looked quite progressive. Huts were spaced far enough for people to have their privacy. The field they lived on was beautiful, wide and open. But what surprised him was how small it was. If he could recall correctly, Toman was a power house. How could they own all that land with such few members?
Takemichi walked into the hut with a single pole in the middle. He looked to the two curiously.
‘Sorry Takemichi. It’s protocol’ Kazutora said unraveling a rope. Takemichi panicked and side stepped wrong into Baji’s chest.
He had no issue restraining his arms so Kazutora could tie them together and then him to the pole.
‘You’ll be meeting with our commander soon. His judgement is what will decide your fate’ Kazutora gave a small smile and disappeared behind the tarp.
Takemichi wasn’t sure how long he had been in the hut. They were bringing him meals, what seemed like twice a day. Either that Beta or Alpha, typically the one called Kazutora. When Takemichi asked questions, he wouldn’t answer.
Takemichi had the same reoccurring dream ever since that day. A dark forest and looking up at the starry sky. He can’t remember where this forest was, but he could remember beads of sweat dripping down his back and forehead, and his heart beating so loud it’d jump out his chest. He heard twigs snap behind him, and he would turn around. He’d always wake up in a start. After all those days, he still couldn’t remember anything.
And finally one day, his eyes stung seeing the sunset light hitting his eyes when a stocky build short man walked in. His scent smeared in alpha pheromones. His blonde hair pulled back in the middle. He too bore a black loin cloth and what looked like short black leather covering over his shoulders and down his to his shoulder blades. Takemichi assumed this was the commander.
His scent was suffocating, of sap and firewood. Masculine, commanding and Takemichi couldn’t help but trill and adjust on his haunches. He kept his gaze down seeing his feet stop before him and he crouched to eye level.
‘Look at me omega’ his voice was firm, even.
Takemichi lifted his head despite it being feeling like a ton of rocks and his eyes lidded. The commanders scent was strong and heavy. So much so that Takemichi felt dizzy, light headed. Almost nauseous even.
‘Name’ he commanded and Takemichi felt his body shiver
‘Takemichi Hanagaki’
‘Which territory do you come from?’
‘Black Dragons. I live on the out skirts' it wasn’t a lie but his voice trembled. He wasn’t sure what this feeling was. Perhaps fear had shook him to the core but he wasn’t scared like he was meeting the other two. Takemichi could feel his throat closing up.
‘How did you end up here?’
Takemichi gasped for air and his eyes watered up.
‘Do you need a new home?’ The alpha said more gently.
Takemichi couldn’t answer. He was tearing up big time. The air was too thick and he couldn’t think and now he couldn’t talk. It was too much. He was overwhelmed. His scent must’ve given it away.
‘Breathe omega’ Takemichi could feel a warm hand by his nape, massaging the tension away there and causing Takemichi’s mind to clear a bit. Takemichi could hear the rumble from the commanders chest. He wanted nothing more to press his ear to the vibration. Instead he turned his head, offering more of his neck. In which the commander rubbed his fingers and wrist up and down. His neck became hot, but he felt better. His breathing returning to normal. His chest no longer heavy or wanting to cry.
‘Do you wish to stay, omega?’ The commanders dark eyes took Takemichi’s blue ones. Takemichi could feel his eyelids going heavy again. Taking in that handsome face staring back at him.
‘Please’ he whispered
Takemichi remained in the ‘main hut’ aka captive hut for another day before bringing him to another large hut in front of several other people who appeared to be toman members. He recognized Baji, Kazutora and the commander.
‘We will now commence the meeting’ a tall blonde with a braid and dragon tattoo stood to announce.
The commander sat in the middle, legs crossed, loin cloth almost pulling up too much, but he looked as if he didn’t give too shits. His big alpha energy radiated throughout the room. And Takemichi needed to take a few deep breaths to keep himself from having an episode like he did the other day.
‘It’s been decided’ the commander stood and pointed at the omega.
‘This omega before us, known as Takemichi, will be allowed to reside with toman’s executive camp. He will assist with daily duties in craftsmanship and fishing as needed.
There were a few mumbles but one question made Takemichi go pink.
‘Mikey-kun? Can I ask why this omega smells of you?’ Kazutora asked smelling the air causing more attention towards the commander.
‘The omega was in a stressed state when I came to see him. Offering my wrist was for purposes of calming him and getting an answer’
‘Mikey doesn’t need to answer why he does or does not choose to mark an omega’ the taller blonde alpha growled at Kazutora. The beta immediately backed down smelling the hostile scent.
‘The omega will be assigned another omega to shadow to learn our customs. I’ll be appointing Emma. Dismissed’ Mikey stomped his staff twice on the ground and the meeting attendants filed out. Ignoring Takemichi sitting pathetically on the floor.
