Re:Monstars ~ Prologue 00: The Sins of Miarah Charrin

< Author's Notes >
Hello everybody and welcome to my, uh, new serialization (?!) of a fiction, generally inspired by various "Reincarnation" ideas such as Re:Monster, Slime Tensei, Yaoshenji, etc. So you will find a lot of shout-outs towards and ideas from these series. Now, do I own all of these? Well, perhaps some terminologies... not really. But the story as its own? It's truly mine, and mine alone.

Without further ado, let's START!

= = = = = = Monogatari ga Hajimaru! = = = = = =

So. I'm a human, being called out from the original world where modern technologies were intact and popular games were MMORPGs. What's my original name? Eh... it's not something that I'm proud about. Rather, I'm more attuned to my current self - Miarah Charrin. That's right! That's my current name! It sounded awesomely cool, right?

Unlike my old... unrespectable self.

As Miarah, I am strong. I can cast magic. I am able to stand up against legions of monsters and slay most of them with the help from my companions. From the exploits that I gained through hundreds and thousands campaigns, I'm rich and glorious. I'm filled with fame and fortune! I brought peace to countries, and I won battles for the people.

I am truly an honorable hero!

With the Ancient-graded armors and Phantom-graded weapons, I am invisible...

At least, I tried to believe that I am.

Otherwise, how am I supposed to stand against this silver, godlike, creature that's glaring down in front of me?

The staredown only happened in one minute, before I felt my body started to turn cold. What happened? Ah... I'm bleeding? T-There's a hole... in my chest! What- I didn't even have any time to react!

Am I... going to die...?

I looked behind, and I realized that all my companions were slain before me.

Am I the only one- no, the last one to die?

"That's... too fast...!"

And so, my vision turned to pure white.



Then... I found myself standing here.



In this blank space where there's nothing but white. I can see myself - as Miarah, thank goodness. Surely in such a white place, I'm in heaven... right? I've did nothing but good deeds throughout my whole life... so surely I'll die as a good man and ascend to the heavens, right?

"Wrong."

Eh?

"You - Miarah Charrin - are a sinner."

W-What?

There must be a mistake! A misunderstanding! I didn't sin- I never sin! Well, unless if you considered loving women is a sin... well, I have nothing to say then.

"No," A figure in white robes faded into my vision, standing- no, floating?- right in front of me. "You really do not understand what your actions have caused, don't you?"

...eh? Loving women have caused the lack of reproductio-?

"Nonono. You don't understand!" Another figure appeared - in the same style... both the entrance and the fashion. Huh, neat. "You thought that you were helping the people, but you were destroying the other half of the population in the world!"

...now I'm confused. What have I done? Did I accidentally caused the world's destruction or something?

"Well, if you continued what you're doing right now - slaying every single monsters that you came across - surely you will."

...that's a sin??? Aren't monsters supposed to be, you know, my enemies or something? And they do give out a lot of experiences... and they could always respawn?

"...you treat this world as a game, don't you?" Now another one descended into my view. Note that I mean descended... it really came down from ABOVE. "I summoned you, hopefully you could turn the tide of the world and bring balance to the world. Alas, everything that I did was a mistake. I should've never summon a person with her whole mind thinking about nothing but games."

Eh. What to do? I WAS an otaku.

"That's why I've been saying!" The one in the center was making a huge fuss. Eh, it sounded like a small girl not getting her candies. "And now she's obviously defiling me! I'm gonna erase her-"

"No. Stop."

OBVIOUSLY they heard my thoughts and the one that sounded like a small girl wanted to erase me... before the first white robe stopped her. I'm saved...?

"I have better plans."

Orrrrrr not.

"I'll make her understand her consequences. I'll... reincarnate her again."

Eh?

"EH?"

"...hmm. Sounds good."

"NONONO. HOW WILL IT SOUNDS GOOD?! If it's not because of YOUR avatar, you couldn't have subjugated this wrench-" Hey hey hey. That's a bad, bad word to describe me... "Shut up! You don't have a place in here! You kept on killing all my precious creations, driving them to extinctions, and you THOUGHT you're doing good for the world! Hell no! You deserved an erasure... if it's not because of Alaraid, you would've been DEAD by my hands!"

...technically speaking, I'm already dead so...

"UUUUUUUUGH!!! THIS WOMAN!!!"

"Hush Synchia. We'll deal with her. You could go to rest first."

"...FINE!" Aaaand there she goes~ Poofing away without leaving anything behind~

"Alright Miarah. You shall be reincarnated. UNTIL you truly understood the world and the importance of its balance."

Eh. Why so troublesome-

"Do not complain. It's because of your current attitude that everything happened - because of troublesome, you killed all the monster children so that you don't need to deal with them in the possible future; because of troublesome, you keep on hunting for monsters in one area until they're all dead because you don't want to move to find another place to train-" Eh, wait. Aren't that supposed to be hardworking instead? "-hardworking doesn't equate to fear of troublesome."

That's... fine.

"And until you truly understand the meaning of the balance in this world, you shall be reincarnated again and again and again until you get it-"

WAIT.

I'M GONNA BE REINCARNATED SO MANY TIMES?!

WHAT IF I UNDERSTOOD IT THE FIRST TIME? HOW WOULD YOU KNOW?!

"...I'm a god, Miarah. I know."

...fair enough...

"Now go."

Eh- WOAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~~~

And my world turned upside down, black and chaotic, and...

I am reborn.

Trees... Trees... More trees... then there's flowers and bushes... It seemed to be humid over there. Hmm...

"From this, I conclude... I'M IN A TROPICAL JUNGLE!" I punch my fist to the air for my conclusion, before I swap it down. "JANEEN DA!"

Ok, I'm self-boke and self-tsukkomi-ing. What the...

"Seriously, where am I? How did I get here?"

Ah yes. I remembered. I was in front of my computer - as usual - doing my own stuffs reading mangas and checking my Facebooks and SUDDENLY! There's this mail thing that I plan to delete buuuuuut I clicked on the wrong space aaaaand...

"KOKO NI KITTA!!!!!!!"

I made a dramatic pose once again, but instantly I dropped down and wanted to knock my head to the ground... but it's dirty, so I didn't do it. "I'm not making any sense... My memories don't make sense. So what, did I got sucked by the computer?" Suddenly, I stood up. "Masaka, I'm in the Digital World?!" I looked around, but there's no signs of Digimon-lookalike.

Instead...

"Ah, I see you've awakened, my dear heroine."

WOAH! I was so shocked. Not just there's someone aside from myself, but... it's a GODDAMN FAIRY!??!?!? She seemed pretty familiar for a fairy... but that's not just that.

She called me dear whaaa?

"Uh... wha?" I blinked, trying to grasp the reality of the situation. I looked around for another possible candidate for 'heroine', but it seemed that there's only... "Me?"

"I know you must have a lot of questions, but I have no time, so I'll cut it short," Wait. Did you just ignored me- "You have been summoned here in order to defeat the evil boss Evangelion," Evil boss WHA...?! Evangelion WHA?!?!?! "But have no worries young heroine, your companions will aid you along your journey," My companions? W-Where? Wait. Don't tell me...

"Here is a crystal orb," With that, she shoved a crystal ball to me. Ooooooooo... Shiny shining shiniest girls be ambitious and shine--- wait. Stop that right there. Don't sing. Not time for singing.

"And this is...?" What is this crystal ball gonna do? Show me the future? Transform into my minions? Or throw at people to capture them???

"The crystal orb will lead your way towards your companions," She smiled at me - ugh, I don't like that smile... seemed to be TROUBLE! "Now, I shall take my leave. Good luck in your journey, dear heroine!"

"Huhwhat? WAIT!"

Aaaaaaaaaaand she's gone!

I blinked. Not just someone just simply VANISHED in a blink of eye, but... "You never told me how to use this thing! Hey, come back fairy! COME BAAAAAACK~~~"

Oh great.

Did you just seriously want me to throw at some people and catch some Pokemans?

"The hell..." I scratched my head as I looked at the ball... no, more like, I glared at the ball.

Ball. Gimme some answers. Ball.

"..."

You no manual kah, ball?!

"..."

Did I just have a staring contest with a crystal ball for a few minutes? Oh god.

"What, you want me to say 'crystal crystal in my hand, who's the fairest of them all?'" Of course, the crystal did not reply me. I sighed. 

"The heck... AHHHH SCREW IT!!!" Furiously, I threw the ball to the ground and ready to stomp at it... but it rolled away down the mountain!

HOLY SHYET.

"Fuckfuckfuckfuck WAIT! DON'T GO AWAY! COME BAAAAACK!!!"

I have never been so horrified. My first "quest item" and I just threw it away? Nonono. It fucking ROLLED away... to save itself from being stomped.

...

Fine.

I'll retrieve it. Sigh.

[3rd Person P.O.V.]

[Insert Rolling Girl or Rolling Star or any songs that has the word Rolling... oh. Rolling In The Deep.]

The ball rolled and rolled and rolled... into a small village. Then, it started to shine in bright lights, before an arrow formed and pointed towards a certain direction. A restaurant. Unfortunately, our heroine could not see the happening moment...

What was she doing now?

= = = = = = = = = =

[1st Person]

"Shitshitshitshitshit. Where did it go...? OI! Come out already! I promise I won't throw or stomp on you again ok?!" I yelled into the woods as I searched for that piece of j- I mean, my very, very, precious quest orb.

"Come on... Orb-san~ Orb-san-"

"Grrrrrr..."

"...eh?" I froze. That... that kind of sound. It...can't be. Ok, seriously, don't. Turn. Back. Rei. Be nice and steady... reach out your first step... "RUN!!!"

Yes, I ran, but I forgot to look in front and... now I'm a Rolling Girl.

Rooooolin' gaaaru~ wa itsu mademo~~~

WTF brain. Now is really not a good time to sing, y'know...? It's supposed to be the time to:

"UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH~~~~~!!!!!!"

= = = = = = = = = =

"Mmmm...gh...?"

Where... am I? Am I back in my room? Is the nightmare over? Is everything just a dream? Or I'm still stuck in the Digital-whatsoever-World? Is this room... my room? Does my room even looked like this? Oh god. Where am I this time? Is this still a dream? Have I teleported somewhere?

"KHHH!!!"

THAT PAIN. I tried to get up but FUCK. I can't and it fucking HURTS. Shit shit shit. Where am I? I can't defend myself like this! Ohno ohno- and I'm COVERED IN BANDAGES?! WHAT ON EARTH HAPPENED TO MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-

"Ah, I see you've awakened, my dear heroine."

Ooooooooookay. Deja vu, anyone?

Yes Pixie-san I'm awake so PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME AND EXPLAIN YOURSELF I CAN'T EVEN SPEAK NOW WITH MY MOUTH BEING COVERED IN BANDAGES-

...

Oi. Are you fucking with me? What's with that smile!? OI. I'm not your fucking entertainment WHO'S FAULT YOU THINK IT IS THAT EVERYTHING HAPPENED TO ME RIGHT NOW. I JUST ROLLED DOWN LIKE THAT FREAKING BALL WHAT DO YOU THINK-

...wait.

Is this... what they called karma? Oh god...

Ok fine. It's karma. It's my own fault that I threw it and I want to stomp it and I'll never do it again because now I'm the Rolling Girl BUT STILL-

"You have just engaged in your first battle, very good!" Waitwhut, first battle WHAT?! "Now, you are finally qualified as a Warrior Heroine with a proper class," Oh great, so I WAS something like a Novice just now? And that battle is a test? Grrrrrrrreat. "Now, your class will be determined by your performance in the first battle," ...wait. What? M-My guess... It's true?! "Hmmm, it seemed that the sword is too heavy for you and you're a bit too clumsy to ascend to a swordsman class-" WOI. STOP THERE. I HAVE A SWORD?! "-but you're brilliant enough to choose to escape, even though it's your first battle. Though considered cowardly, not much beginner would choose to fight a werewolf head on," WTF THAT'S A WEREWOLF?! WHY DID YOU SPAWN ME NEAR A FUCKING WEREWOLF OIIII. SO IT WASN'T REALLY MY FAULT OIIIIIIII. "Oh, your running speed is marvelous!" Running speed? More like, I did the 'Rolling Girl'. Pfffft. "Hmm. I see." You see what? My pathetic form right now? That you have caused?

"Alright. Evaluations have been done. You're now officially a thief."

...

OI. NOBODY TOLD ME THAT RULE. NOBODY TOLD ME I'M BEING ACCESSED. WTF. I know I'm careless and I know I fucking ran from my first fucking battle but YOU WOULD RUN TOO AS YOU SAID! And I didn't even realized I had a sword- no. Even with a sword it's a FUCKING WEREWOLF! What is this logic?! It's like you just sent me to play uber guitar for UV3Rw0rld while I'm still a potato learning how-to-not-break-your-guitar-for-dummies! And what the hell is a heroine with the class of a thief?! What should I do, steal some rare items from Evangelion and negotiate with that monster? “Hey I stole your Shinji maybe you can stop destroying the world?” BULLSHIT!

AND WHO EVALUATED ME?! WHO SENT YOU HERE?!

"Remember, your actions are being closely watched. It seemed that you have entertained them enough and you received a few blessings from the gods," WTF. GODS?! YOU THINK THIS IS FUCKING FUNNY?! OIIIII.

"By the way, your first companion should be in contact with you..." ...vat. But I lost my orb? Wait. So no catching Pokemans? "Oh, your orb is not around? I see. So that's the way that it chose to lead you to your companions," ORB. YOU OK KAH?! WHY YOU CHOOSE THIS PATH. CAN YOU CHOOSE A NORMAL PATH?! THIS IS SUICIDE WEIH. FOR ME AND YOU BOTH WEIHHH.

"Alright, my time is up! Good luck in your quest heroine!" OI STOP. DON'T DISAPPEAR- dammit. She's gone, again! I swear, one day, I'm going to capture you in a magic cage and name you freaking Twinkle Bell and sing to you "Twinkle Bell~ Twinkle Bell~ Twinkle all the way" and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Bell~ How I wonder where you are~" ALL. DAY. LONG. I will make puns on you, I will make puns on your family, and I will make puns on your bells-

*CLACK!*

WOAH?!



“Ah, you’re awake!” SCARE DIE ME. WHO ARE YOU- wait. That voice. So familiar…

…LEGASSSSPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THAT. THAT FACE. OI. YOU MAJI KA YO. That uke-ful kawaii face. That hair. That attire is another thing but THAT "CUTE" VOICE. That height and that aura! 

KOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU~~~

KOU. MAH BUDDY. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE~~~ Did you save me? Did you got dragged into this “game” too?

“Thank god you’re safe! I was very worried when I saw you nearly DIED at the mountain end!” Ooooh! I see your ears now! They’re elf ears! I KNEW you will choose to be an elf-

…wait.

Choose?

KOU WHY YOU CAN CHOOSE YOUR RACE BUT I CANNOT WHO GIVE YOU THAT PERMISSION-

“I’ve cooked you some mushrooms miss~” Miss? Oi Kou, you dunno my name or you purposely wanna tease me of my current state huh? "Let's eat!" I would love too! But as you can see I-

“Oi Kou, do you think she can eat when she’s all bandaged up like that?” Thank you~ And hello Kou’s little brother~ You came into this game too? You seemed so seme. Kek. As expected of Kou's lil' bro.

“…lol Kon. Sorry miss, lemme untie you from this prison,” Kou slowly took off the bandages off my body… finally I can move a little~

Wait.

Finally? Move a little?

"Gosh... they're so... tight!" Erm, the part that it sounded weird aside, who tied me like this?! No wonder I have pain all over my body... gosh! "Stupid sister... Hey Aki! Why'd you tie her up like this?!"

Ah. His voice changed. In case if you don’t know, previously he has been talking using his higher register. Now he’s using his deeper, manlier voice that’s different from his usual looks. What, you thought he’s a girl? Pffft. You dunno how many times people have been mistaken him for a “miss”. Kek.

"It's you who told me to do this, stupid brother!"

"Yes, Kou."

"...I... I panicked ok?! Gosh, you two..." Can't work under pressure? Sure this is Kou alright. "Yoshiotto... Hai! Dekita!" Ok, this IS Kou alright. Only he will use Hirasawa Yui's talking style...

"Mmmmm!" I stretched my body. It suuuuure felt much better this way! I AM... FREEEEEEEEEEEE!!! "Sankyu ne, Kou-chan!" I laughed and gave him a peace-sign... which he seemed to be dumbfounded by such approach. He blinked for a few times, took him some while to recover and gave me back the same sign.

Hmm? Why the delay...? Don't tell me...

"Domo! By the way, my full name is Hirasawa Kou!" Hirasawa--- WHAT?! Waitwaitwait. Isn't that...?! "This is my little brother Kon and my little sister Aki," Wait. I knew them already, so why is he introducing them to me again? So he really isn't the Kou I knew...? "Aki changed your clothes by the way, so don't you worry about that!"

"O-Ohhh..." I blinked. For a moment, I can't seemed to comprehend what's going on in front of me.

"So, what's your name?" He looked at me innocently. Really, he don't...? Fine.

“My name is, uh, Tai… Tainaka Rei! Yeah, my name is Tainaka Rei!” WHAT AM I DOING?! THIS MAKES ME ANOTHER K-ON-SURNAME-RIP-OFF CHARACTER OI. But since he’s doing it, me doing this should be alright, right…? "Thanks for saving my life! I owe you one!"

"Oh shush, it's no big deal!" Ah, his diva side. "After all, saving a person is a good deed, right?"

So... it's really Kou after all! But... This is like a parallel world? What, alternate universe? Uhhhhhh...my brain.

“Sounds like you almost forgot your name for a moment there!” He gave a semi-horrified look, but quickly reverted back to his usual smile. “I guess you really had a bad fall, eh?”

“Hahaha… You have nooooo idea…”

Yeah. And I don’t mean only from that mountain. I mean falling from my original world…

…into this world… Strange, yet, familiar world…

"MY BALL!!!" I suddenly exclaimed, remembering the most important thing that I became like... this. "I lost my ball!"

"Well... I sold *sob* your ball to the richest man in this city *sob* so that *sob* he won't bother me *sob* again...!" Uhuh... It seemed that there's some dramas going on here eh? I wonder how my ball is going to help him...

"I shall rip his balls out... and get my ball back!"

Next On: Part 2 - My Ball?! OAO

"Fabricated Love"

"...I smiled as I can finally see you again. I can only see you when the night comes, and before I went to my dreams. I can't touch you, but I know you're here with me. You would smile back at me, and cradle me to sleep. You would sing me a lullaby, and pat my head.

You will always be here with me, even when the world crumbles.

There ARE times when you don't appear though, when my mind was too occupied with present things, and when I'm going through a huge emotional moment that I really need to be with myself. Still, you will be here if I wished you to be, for you to soothe me and tell me that everything will be alright.

Even though both of us knew that nothing can be alright.

I love you, from the bottom of my heart - because you know me the best, because you know how to calm me down, and... and because you're the best person in the world that won't judge me, and will give me the best advice.

Still.

I couldn't touch you no matter how much I wished for. And so these pillows and stuffed animals are the only substitution for me who yearned to touch you.

I can only hope that you will never go away, and forever stay by my side... but that would abstain me from the real world, right?

I smiled again. This time, I could taste the bitterness from my own forced smile. Again, I know I can't touch you, but I pretend that I could while caressing my little penguin. Should I wish you away? So that I can go back to my reality?

But... I couldn't.

For I love my own fantasy the most, even though most of my actual inspirations came from the reality part... fantasy is the one which keeps me going. I couldn't just wish you to go away, because you're my motivation.

Finally, I could feel that my conscious is fading away, and you're fading away too. Every night I wished that I could hold you a little longer, talk to you a little longer... but even I'm a slave to this weak thing called 'sleep'.

So good night, my fabricated reality.

May I see you again tomorrow night..."

~ "Fabricated Love"

Hoshikuzu Venus

Hey.

Hey...

Don't cry, my dearest.

Don't cry.

Everyone has to leave soon, and so do I... so do you.

You will meet better people in your life, and they will take care of you.

Of course I'll be ok! Who the heck do you think I am?

I'll be fine wherever I go, the only one that I worry is only you, ok?

I hope that you'll smile again, and be fine on your journey to another phrase of your life.

So now...

= = =

Hey,

How are you right now? It's been years since your departure, I hope you have a lot of adventures and stories to tell me!

If you ask how do I do, I'm doing very well right now. I have a family to feed, and companions to adventure with. Yeah yeah, I know it doesn't sound like me to have a family but hey! Time changes people, alright?

How is your sword? Is it still good? Well, it was pretty cheap quality so it's alright if you want to change it, y'know? I mean, don't fight your enemies with weak swords, alright? You're a knight right now. There's no need to keep that poor sword by your side.

By the way, I'm going to move to the borderline pretty soon. The mountains here aren't enough to keep my babies fed so yeah! If you can't find me - don't worry, I still can find you HAHAHA!

I'll let you listen to my story another time, ok? The kids are shouting at me again. Bye!

= = =

Hey,

Sorry for not contacting you for a long time but there's been a lot of stuffs going on. We managed to get to the new place - woohoo! The new place is pretty fine! My kids loved it here. The forest are well and so was the rivers. It is the best place in the world! I think I'm going to stay here forever HAHAHA! Oh but, it's a bit hard to find so don't even bother about it.

I don't travel anymore - as I said, I'm staying here forever hahaha! But so far, everywhere I travel, I could hear your name, and your stories! Congratulations for promoting to general! I didn't even need to ask how are you right now, 'cause it seemed that you're doing very fine hahaha! I swear I could hear people naming their kids after you already. Heh, maybe I'll name one kid after you too! I have the 5th kid already, and they're really awesome! Maybe I'll get a 6th one? Hahaha! But it's a bit of trouble though, I mean, with a lot of children... but hey, perhaps they will help me out one day!

I hope for your future to go well, and so for myself.

"...and that was the last time I heard of her," The general smiled softly, touching the tombstone of her dearest. Around her were beasts, the guardian of the tombstone. They did not attack her, but welcomed her to reconcile with the person that she has been finding for such a long time.

"Hmm... I guess she didn't want you to-"

"SHHH. You KNEW she didn't want her to worry...!" The rabbit shut the tiger's mouth in an instance, whispered to him, then noticed that the general actually heard them. The general just raised an eyebrow, eyeing at the guardians of the tomb. They were silent for a while, before the general decided to draw her sword out.

"What's the truth behind this, guardians," The general's tone was cold, and fury reflected in her emerald orbs.

"We... promised not to tell," The owl spoke, unfazed by the general's piercing sword to her side. "Not even under threats, dear general."

"...that's not the answer I'm looking for, guardians," The general was about to cut the owl down, before the wolf pounced onto the general.

"You can't do this. She would not be happy to see this, general," He barked, glaring at the general.

"Who are you to decide her happiness or not?!" With a strong push, the woman in black able to get rid of the wolf on top of her. With a raging anger, she swung her sword down towards the guardians in front of her, which prompted them to evade and decided that they should stop her.

But not killing her, of course.

"For years, I have been trying to get back to her... For years, I have been trying to find her... And now you're telling me that all her news are lies?!" The general roared, swinging her sword to fight back the guardians. "First you tell me that she doesn't have children of her own, and all of you are the beasts that she adopted... I knew it's funny for her to just get married like that - she used to tell me that she hated kids too! Damn it... Damn it! How many lies do you intend to paint to cover up your sadness, Irhat?!"

"Stop this, general!" Fearing that she might actually slice down the tomb, the tiger went forth with his large body to block the sword.

"I knew it was funny when people made that face when I asked for your name... Goddammit. People looked down on you, Irhat!" Furious blows strike the tiger over and over again. "Why don't you just tell me exactly how people treat you?! Why don't you just tell me that you're not doing well?! I could have summoned the entire army down for you, storm this place into a wasteland for you! Why?!" A strong blow. "Why?!" Another blow. "WHYYYY?!" And it broke the sword into half.

"General!"

"Why..." The broken sword dropped to the floor, making a loud clang. "Why can't you just... depend on me a little..." It contrasted with the general's soundless sob. "I'm not the kid that you used to shield anymore... I'm... I'm a general goddammit. I have powers. I can do whatever I want. I can protect you this time... I don't need you to protect me until the end... I want to make you happy like how you did for me...!"

Drip. Drip. Drip.

The rain started to fall.

The sound of the raindrops covered the wail of the general - crying like a child who lost her mother. Perhaps it literally meant that way for her, as Irhat served both as a friend and a mother towards her until she was a teenager. The guardians were weeping silently too, unable cover their sadness as the truth sips in - that they remembered the hardship that they went through: to bear the torments from the various villages, to run away from people that hunt them down, to remember how their mistress worked very hard for all of them, and to protect the general's name to not be tarnished by her own bad reputations.

The owl felt the guilt, every time she brought letters to the general from her  mistress, for she knew that the letters were lies, and that she couldn't tell the general the truth and ask for help.

The tiger and the rabbit were not looking good as well. If they didn't speak of anything just now, perhaps then the general will not find out of this truth, and that the general will go back in peace.

But at least she knew, they thought.

At least she knew the truth, even though it was a bad one.

She will not be lied again anyway...

= = =

I laughed, not because I was 'Strong'.
You don't want to see my crying face any longer, do you?
And I hope for you to remember me at my most beautiful moment.

Goodbye? 
That last word is nowhere to be found.



What I wished for  wasn't anything grand - 
just the words, "It's all right if you stay."



But it's all right,
For you have became better without me...

First Love, The Beginning After The End

FIRSTLY: I WRITE THIS BECAUSE I COULDN'T HELP IT. AND IT WAS DONE WITHIN LIKE 30 MINUTES RIGHT AFTER I FINISHED THE FIRST 20 MINUTES OF THE GAMEPLAY. IT MIGHT NOT MAKE SENSE TO ANY OF YOU.
SECONDLY: NONE OF THE CHARACTERS BELONG TO ME. IF I DO, I MAKE THEM LOVE EACH OTHER. AND I MIGHT MAKE CLEMMY A BIT OLDER SO THAT JANE DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A PEDOPHILE.
THIRDLY: THIS IS YURI/GIRL'S LOVE/LESBIAN IF YOU DON'T LIKE PLEASE LEAVE.

= = =

"Clem, are you sure about this?"

Jane looked at Clementine - now on her late teens - on top of her. How many years have they met? How many years they have been through life and death together? Jane couldn't count. There were numerous times where she intend to leave her, but came back anyway. Every time, it was only because of Clementine, and nothing else. And every time, Clementine would be glad, and she wouldn't cry. But Jane knew, that Clementine was furious at her leaving her alone, with a bunch of people that she would prefer not to hang out with. She expected Clementine to be mad at her, but she would never expect Clementine to actually hit her, yelled at her, and cried at her the last time she went off. She even confessed to her in the fit of rage.

After that incident, Jane never left Clementine anymore.

"Yes, of course. What do you expect? It's been 2 years since we're together, Jane. 2. Fucking. Years. Can you imagine how hard was it to hold my urge back? And to remember how you go off with someone like that... Luke in the first place."

Ah. That incident. Jane was furious at herself too. Two things: 1. She actually need to let off some steam knowing how hard it was to be around Clementine like that; 2. So that she would set herself right, she would have sex with a man that she have zero, or even negative, feelings towards. It was a mistake, but she did not quite regret it. Otherwise, Jane wouldn't see Clementine being jealous about a deadman that have sex with her instead of her, for the first time after everything happened.

It was cute to see Clementine being jealous.

And Clementine had no time to be jealous.

They were constantly running away from death, running away from harm, and running to get to shelter. There was no time to even talk about their relationship, especially when there's a group around them. Jane wasn't the type to fit into the group, but Clementine was always the star of the group, the charismatic and morally good leader that everyone would follow... every single time when they met a group. They lost count of the years that they have been running away from the dead, but they do try to remember when was their first day.

The day when they are officially a couple.

But since then, they didn't do anything much. They just did whatever they do as always - running away from the dead. There's not much advancement, and they were always on the edge. They couldn't even think of how to give proper love to each other, aside for always being by each other's side and never leaving one another.

Until now...

The apocalypse is over. The vaccine has been found. They did not care about the answer - they only cared about the result. And it was great - no - the best result that they have been waiting for - there are no more walkers, no more fear, no more running away. They were given shelter, while they helped to cleanse the dead. It has been 1 year after the end of apocalypse. Everything has been settled... and there's finally some time to breath.

Some time to love.

"You know, it's really hard to think that this day will come... hell, I couldn't even imagine if you actually fall in love with me," Jane, in her early thirties, smirked at the black lady in front of her. "Given all the choices you have around you, it was hard to believe that you will choose me over them."

"Oh shut up Jane," Clementine kissed the older lady. "There's only you who I truly trusted in, after everyone else... After Lee... After Kenny..."

"...Kenny..." Jane frowned. That incident... It was either her, or Kenny...

"...nah, we're not going back to that topic," The younger girl smiled at Jane. Did she regretted making that decision? A little. It was the hardest decision in her life, after shooting Lee in the head, of course. "We're here to make love, not to make tears."

"...Clem! where did you learn that word?!" Jane, unexpectedly, blushed. She never thought this girl could have make that sentence out of her mouth! Then again, they ARE going to do this anyway... "Well, we don't know for sure if one of us are going to cry..."

"...wait. It hurts?" Clementine widened her eyes. Nope, she will NEVER hurt Jane in any way! If making love hurts, then she might as well not do it.

"Pff- HAHAHA!" Jane laughed, which sets Clementine back again. Was she joking about the pain? "No... I mean yes, it hurts a bit, but it'll be better. Sometimes, you won't feel the pain at all," The white lady smirked as she kissed Clementine. "It's just that, well, if it gets too pleasurable... you might tear up... I guess."

"...did you tear up when you're doing with Luke?"

There goes that topic again, and Clementine's... "Death Stare".

"Haha! No way. He's... not that good anyway."

"Then how do you know?" Clementine's being skeptical now.

"Well... I... Read it somewhere... yeah," Well, Jane couldn't tell Clementine that she masturbated sometimes imagining Clemmy doing that to her and she actually teared up from that... right?

"Hmm...?" The younger girl raised her eyebrow. Even more skeptical.

"Anyway, are we doing this or not? Or I'll forever be remembered as 'Jane who did with Luke' and nothing else anymore."

"Oh shush! I won't let that title even get to you," Clementine pouted, a little bit disgusted by that image. "I'll make a better one... 'Jane who teared up by doing with the most amazing girl in the world that handles a dog's bite's pain and guided groups of survivor, the queen of survivor... Clementine'."

"PFFF! CLEMMY! Can your title get any WORSE than that?!" Jane couldn't help but laugh right now, but secretly... she was very sure that it would happen.

The teared up part.

"Ohhhhhh you will GET IT FROM ME!" Clementine laughed as she kissed Jane, who returned with the same playfulness. After each exchange of kisses, the kisses slowly turned from playful to passionate, and it slowly heats up as they felt the inner urge swelling up.

"Jane... You ready...?"

"Ha... Heh. Yeah. Anytime, my Clementine."

They smiled as they caressed each other gently, slightly blushing with excitement as they realize that this is going to come true.

Their first night together.

Their first love, together...

"...she's just my guardian. She's ONLY my guardian. She's a thousand years old freaking grandmother who just happened to look young and beautiful- okay, I did NOT just said that. I mean, she's just a very annoying dragon lady! Nothing else, nothing more---

"Ka~gu~ra~" A pair of arms circled around my neck, and I can feel her nose nuzzled up my white hair...dammit.

"What," Coldly, I replied her. I mean, what else can I reply to her?

"Come on! Let's eat!" There came her signature grin... and there she goes and ruffled on my hair again...dammit.

"Just let me finish this first," I did not face her - I couldn't. The controller and the game were just a mere distraction to keep me away from her.

"Oh come on! The dishes are getting cold!" No please, don't pout- UGH! I HATE it whenever her pretty face decided to pout- did I just mentioned that she's pretty? Dammit.

"Whatever, just let me freaking finish this game first, okay?" I heightened up my voice towards her, and really try hard to get her away from me.

"...fine," Yes! She finally sighed and walked away---

Or at least I thought so.

"I shall sit here with you until you wanna eat~" With a beam, she moved to the sofa beside me and decided to sit with me...dammit!

Mentally, I could only facepalm my failure to get her away from me, so that she won't be able to notice my red face...

And my pounding heart..."

= = = = = = = = = =

"..."Ka~gu~ra~"

Sigh. Not again. I really hated it when she called my name in that sweet singing tune. It sent a shiver down through my body and my heart would skip a beat. I really start to hate Enkai more and more if she continued to do that...dammit.

"Kagura~ Here~ Muffins~"

My eyes glanced at the delicious-looking muffins - which I regretted, as my stomach start to growl and grind, wanting me to feast upon those tasty lil' stuffs so badly. Why had Enkai started to bake these muffins anyway? Why was she so kind towards me--- ah.

Why of course, she's my guardian.

Ever since my parents died - which I don't remember how they died or when they died and why they died - Enkai had been taking good care of me... well, more like spoiling me in attempt to cheer me up from my depression of losing my parents. Perhaps she was guilty that she couldn't protect her ex-master and ex-mistress...sigh.

So now, she would spoil me like a child. Just a child, and nothing more.

Having that thought in my head, it made my heart ache. I already knew that she won't love me the same way I did for her, but then... I just-

"Kagura?" Her eyes blinked...

No, it's not cute. It's NOT cute. Not cute.

"I'll be having them later."

Oh yes, I'm not gonna have those little lovelies right now. If I really take them in, I will lose the distraction and resistance towards miss dragon over there. And no, I'm not gonna let that happen-

"But... they'll not be nice after they're cold, y'know?"

Damn true of what she said. And my eyes betrayed my mind once again. Looking at the pretty lil' chocolate muffins placed in two lines on the tray, the sweet scent of both the muffins and En's tickled my nostrils. Damn. It made me wanna eat the both of them right here, right now... And her smooth, white, hands.......

Stop. Kaenboshi Kagura. STOP I tell you.

"Whatever, I'll eat them later..." My eyes were back on the screen, but my mind wasn't. And what made me more frustrated was that a muffin was shoved to my face, and a cheerful grin followed after that.

"Come on! I'm gonna feed you! Say 'ahhh'~"

"......."

Enkai Ryuuou. I'm gonna kill you. One day.

Because you're damn cute and that made me fall for you, you damn thousand-years-old-dragon-with-a-pretty-face... ARGH!..."

"...and so, I was happily washing the dishes in the kitchen, and then I heard the phone rang. My long ears perked to listen at the conversation of Kagura's and... well, whoever's in the phone.

"Huh? Yeah. Alright. Will be there. BHAO!"

...what? She called for that idiot chimera?!

"There's a mission, let's go! You too Fuu, Rai!"

S-she even called the twins...w-what about me? Was she going to abandon me just like that? Even since Bahaodin and the other devils came into Nakiteiru Majuu, she rarely called me out anymore... Sigh. I was really hoping that I can fight alongside her this time...

"Sigh..." I continued to wash the dishes, placing them back to their original places. Looking into my reflection on the plate, I seemed to be... depressed, I must say. Well, the feeling of being abandoned wasn't really a good feeling...

And I've been with her from the start, taking care of her since she's born... and now she's going off on her own with her other choices of partners... though they're in the form of weapons but still...!

I sighed once again, putting down the plate, and walked out of the kitchen---

"Huh?"

Kagura was still here... but...

"Why?"

"Why, you asked?!" She looked pissed off. Wait, what have I done this time? I did not steal her snacks neither did I broke her CDs- "Hurry and change into a katana and follow me now dammit!"

"Eh?" Did I... heard, what I heard...?

"Don't make me repeat the second time!"

"H-Hai!!!" Quickly, I turned myself into katana form, and I could feel her warm hands on my handle. It must be silly of me, but I must be smiling real happy right now.

Even though she's rough with her swordsplay and treats me badly, she's still my mistress, and I'm her guardian. I yearn to be with her night and day, and protect her with all cost. From devils, from threats, and even from love if she had one later... well, she's a growing teenager right now, there's no doubt she would meet someone she liked and...

Oh dear, I really talk like an Obaa-san right now. Sigh.

But then, until that day, I shall be with her... I don't mind if she hates me or anything, I shall not fail twice in protecting someone I loved dearly.

For Kagura, my only love..."

"...I looked at Bhao, and I looked at Kagura. She never treat Bhao badly as how she treated me. Why was that? Isn't that Chimera just her servant as I am hers? My eyes narrowed in frustration, feeling some sort of jealousy that Bhao could get so chummy with my mistress.

They were watching that show again, and I really don't understand what's so good about that...'

'..."Hmph..." I turned around, and focused on my works. The salmon had yet to be sliced into thin pieces and the salads had yet to be arranged. I sighed, with some kind of depression that I couldn't quite understand. Maybe it's because of me getting treated worse than that... stupid Chimera. I really hate him. I don't mind the Terrier brothers but I hate the Chimera. Well, at least the brothers helped out with my chores and everything...

...though I quite dislike the fact that they're in a better terms with Kagura than I am...'

'...After being with Kagura for eighteen years - perhaps more than that, since I was with her even before she's born - I've always know her the best. Whenever she's angry, whenever she's sad... Though I might look oblivious to them - perhaps for her - I secretly does and really wanted her to be happier...

...especially after Kishuu-sama and Kanako-sama had passed away.

Sigh.

It's not that I dislike Kagura for making more friends or open up to people more, but, why can't she just treat me better than them? Or was I the one that's not making enough efforts as a guardian?..."

"..."Hahahahaha! That's a nice one!"

"Yeah."

The sounds of Bahaodin's laughter and Kagura's cold but happy comment (of course I could tell! Who do you think I am?) made me glanced towards the living room once again.

I shouldn't have glanced.

As a sword seemed to be piercing through my heart as I saw how happy Kagura was WITH Bahaodin. I frowned.

Why can't I do the same with her...?..."

"..."Kagura~ Time to eat~"

Finally, with the dishes ready, I called out for Kagura.

"Bhao! Fuu! Rai! You too!"

Along with the other residence in Nakiteiru Majuu... sigh. How much I wished to only cook for Kagura though, but... this is my job as her guardian. I couldn't complain.

We ate, we talked, and we laughed... and I can see that Kagura's really having fun with them. I smiled at her happiness.

Well, as long as she's happy... I shall be."

"... Kagura was dripping wet from the rain, but she remained where she was, pinning Enkai to the wall. She saw the confusion in her guardian's eyes and knew that the older woman was a little frightened by her charge's actions.

But she couldn't care less about that right now.

Her soul was starving, feeling a need to be satisfied.

Immediately..."

"..."Kag-"

Kagura silenced Enkai with a kiss, and when they parted Kagura knew that her guardian would protest, and so immediately kissed the older woman.

Deeply... Passionately.

Kagura couldn't help herself and she wanted to taste Enkai more and more, tasting the sweet lips of her supposed guardian, and then exploring her mouth with her own tongue...

Damn... Enkai tasted sweet...

So very damn sweet..."

"... Her lips went from her guardians lips to the latter's neck and she took in Enkai's scent, feeling as though she just couldn't have enough of her guardian... She wanted to make Enkai a part of her, even more than she was already.

Kagura kissed and suckled on Enkai's skin, leaving a trail of kisses from her neck to her collar bone, and Enkai let out a little squeal... Kagura smiled at that.

Jack-pot..."

"... She felt Enkai wrap her arms around her, holding her charge even closer. She wanted this as well... But Kagura pulled back, breathing hard and grinning.

Enkai looked at her even more confused at this development. She parted her lips as though to say something, but Kagura kissed her once more before placing a finger on her guardian's lips, a teasing, devilishly sexy smile on her face.

She bent close to her guardian and whispered in Enkai's ears, and the older woman squirmed, feeling her charge's hot breath against her skin...

"I'm still drenched from the rain En... Why don't you go prepare the bath... then maybe, just maybe..."

Enkai blushed hard at that, and looked into Kagura's eyes, her own reflecting a hope and desire... And Kagura thought that she was so adorable that she rewarded her guardian with what she wanted...

A sensuous, deep kiss..."

Noel Clover, Teasing Tastes

= = = = = = = = = = =

"... Enkai prepared the bath, her body moving on instinct, getting the temperature just right even as her mind went haywire. She didn't know what she was doing anymore, her thoughts were all jumbled up.

She needed a break. Badly. In fact, she thought that it was such a great idea that she'd have a break then and there.

She looked at her surroundings.

Okay, maybe after she got out of the bathroom..."

"... She prepared everything perfectly and turned around, only to gasp in surprise as she saw her young charge standing just behind her, leaning against the bathroom door.

Kagura was really a sight to behold, her curly hair wet from the rain, dripping to the floor, her crimson eyes staring at her guardian with a kind of hunger that sent shivers up Enkai's spine.

Delightful shivers...

Enkai told Kagura that she should have a shower beforehand, stuttering the words as the younger girl walked ever closer to her, shrugging off the jacket and letting it fall to the floor..."

"... Enkai backed away into the shower with a still-dressed Kagura, who closed the shower's door, effectively locking the two of them together in the shower. Enkai felt her heart beating like crazy, she couldn't think straight anymore.

"En..."

Kagura turned on the shower, slowly increasing the intensity of the water flow. Enkai felt her clothes clinging to her skin as they got wet but it didn't seem to matter then. Kagura knew this and grinned, slowly peeling off Enkai's wet kimono off her, feeling the older woman tremble a little at her touch, blushing.

"En..."

Enkai looked down, refusing to look at Kagura in the eyes. Kagura didn't mind, finding her guardian adorable and amusing. She brought herself up, close to Enkai's ears and whispered in a soft voice even as she undressed her guardian...

"Take mine off too..."..."

"... Enkai thought she must have been going crazy as she tried to take off her charge's clothing, her hands fumbling. The way Kagura was kissing her, tasting her, moaning out her pet name over and over again didn't exactly help.

"En... oh En...."

She felt Kagura suck on her neck hard and winced a little, knowing that it would leave a mark. But she didn't care about that. She wanted it, she wanted Kagura to mark her, to make her whole.

And Kagura enjoyed every bit of her, her scent, her skin, her lips..."

Noel Clover, Under Cleansing Waters

= = = = = = = = = = =

"... Kagura undid Enkai's sash, and let it drop to the floor. She looked on at her guardian's well endowed body and smirked, knowing that Enkai was all hers... now more than ever.

She slipped a hand behind Enkai, feeling the water run off her guardian's skin and kissed the latter's body everywhere, relishing every bit of it... From the curve of Enkai's neck, to her supple, soft breasts, her nicely toned thighs... Kagura just couldn't have enough of her guardian..."

"... She could scarcely breathe, her heart beating hard and fast with excitement. She was sure Enkai felt the same, noticing how the latter's knees were shaking a little, her whole body trembling.

Kagura could barely wait for the bath.

She kissed Enkai again, deeply, tasting every bit of the older woman's mouth... Enkai just tasted oh-so-sweet... She pulled back and looked into her guardian's eyes, taking into note that the older woman seemed to be drowning in the same sensations as she did.

Kagura was very pleased..."

 ‎"... She raised a hand and played with Enkai's hair, curling it about a finger absentmindedly. The older woman looked on at her, waiting for something she herself didn't fully understand, her wonder at why Kagura stopped obvious.

"Say... En?"

"Uh huh?"

"You've been eating muffins without me again haven't you?"

Enkai looked at her surprised, the sudden change in direction not at all a concern. She was so innocent Kagura felt tempted to have her then and there.

"I-I did, I wanted to leave some for you, but-"

Kagura silenced her with a passionate kiss, and when they broke off she was breathless, blushing hard as she watched the younger girl pull back.

"It's okay En..."

She licked her lips, savoring the sweetness of Enkai on them.

"I can taste them like this just fine..."..."

Noel Clover, It's Perfectly Fine.

= = = = = = = = = = =

"...Kagura's hands desperately tore at Enkai's kimono, having succumbed to her desire and need for the woman. She pushed aside the folds of the offending clothing, slipping them down her guardian's arms. Kagura let out a soft moan as she felt the jewels of Enkai's well endowed form rub against her own petite ones.

The soft and supple feeling pressed against her own lithe form, a precursor to the comfortable and familiar weight of Enkai as she fell back down to the bed..."

"... Enkai shifted her legs, slipping them out of her kimono. She placed one in between Kagura's own, gently grazing against the denim that covered her charge's most sacred treasure.

Kagura growled at the friction, an impatient sound that pleased the older woman even as she felt her master's hands wrapping themselves around her, bringing her as close as possible.

Damn, she thought. At the rate they were going she could barely hold herself in... Not that it would be bad if she didn't.

She paused for a moment, drawing herself away from Kagura who let out a whimper at the action. Enkai grinned at her young lover as she undid her obi, a very naughty smirk on her face as her master admired her body as she did her the girl's.

Her kimono was hanging on her forearms, pooling on the bed. From the appreciative look Kagura was giving her, she knew that the girl really, really liked it..."

"... Kagura watched Enkai as the woman bent forward, admiring the voluptuous beauty. She took into consideration her... very much less endowed form and couldn't believe that someone as beautiful as Enkai would be her guardian, her lover.

Her trail of thought was derailed as Enkai kissed her navel, licking around her belly button and running both hands across her pale body. 

If Enkai's heavy breathing was any sign to take into consideration, she'd say that her guardian was almost, or perhaps more, aroused than she was. But the way Enkai pleasured her was amazing, as though her own needs and desires were second, that she, Kagura, was number one in her heart.

The very thought was humbling, was touching...

She could only hope that she could return the favour to Enkai, to tell the woman how much she was wanted, was needed.

But that was another thought that went out of her head as Enkai took off her jeans, pulling them to her knees, before kissing the soft curls hidden beneath her panties..."

Noel Clover, Desired.

= = = = = = = = = = =

"... Kagura recovered before Enkai and crawled over her guardian who was still shivering a little from their climax, the skin contact sending tingles of delight to both of them. The girl could only smile at the sight of her lover, who returned her gaze looking dazed. She planted her lips on Enkai's and they shared a soft, gentle kiss.

It was very much chaste compared to what they just did..."

"...The girl didn't pull herself away, reaching up with a hand blindly for the shower tap. She did her best, and soon managed to turn off the water without breaking their kiss.

She pulled back after that, admiring Enkai wet form.

Damn, her guardian was beautiful.

"Can you get up?"

Enkai looked at her, still dazed and shook her head. She was still a little worn out, and the tingles of her climax hadn't worn off. She felt that she would just lay there in the shower for quite a long while before gathering enough strength to get up.

Kagura just smiled at that and kissed her guardian's forehead, pushing open the shower door with a foot and laying down on her lover for a little while..."

"... Moments passed without them saying a word, they just enjoyed each other's presence. It was very comfortable... Though Kagura knew what they should do to unwind after all that. She looked at Enkai again and figured that the woman was still not ready to move, so she grinned and told Enkai to snake her arms around her neck.

When Enkai put her arms around Kagura, the girl smirked a bit and lifted her lover up in her arms, and the woman let out a little gasp at the sudden movement.

"Ka-Kagura!"

Kagura replied with a grin and walked over to the hot tub, where she gently laid her lover into, slowly, before climbing in herself.

The water had cooled off a little, but it was still very nice and warm. Kagura laid herself on Enkai and reached up, kissing the woman, running her hand through her guardian's hair.

If this happened each time she got soaked in the rain, she wished it'd rain every, single day..."

= = = = = = = = = =

"... Enkai straddled on her master's back, her palms applying pressure to Kagura's tensed muscles helping the girl relax. She really enjoyed serving Kagura, making the girl happy was her top priority so it was a pleasure for her to massage her master.

The fact that she got to see Kagura half-naked was a bonus of course..."

"... The guardian applied a little more lotion on to her charge's back, noting the soft, white skin that she was kneading. It was so nice to feel Kagura, to have her skin against her master's. She smiled to herself as she began massaging the few places she knew Kagura really liked having pressure on, and so skillful was she with her hands that Kagura began letting out little moans.

Kagura thoroughly enjoyed the rub she was getting from her guardian, and she couldn't help but gasp and moan every now and then as the experienced lady worked out the kinks in her back.

God, En was really good at this, she thought.

A small moan escaped her lips, and for a moment she didn't think of anything, just enjoying the massage she was getting...

And then she remembered that Bhao was in the house as well..."

"... Kagura blushed a little at the thought that someone might have heard her make such an embarrassing sound that she bit her lip in a bid to stop moaning in delight. This did not escape her guardian's notice and Enkai began rubbing a little harder, making sure that it was pleasurable for her young master.

Kagura turned her head to a side and glared daggers at Enkai, thinking that the older woman was set on embarrassing her.

It wouldn't be the first time after all.

The guardian, noting her master biting her lip smirked and leaned in close to Kagura, her hands never stopping for a moment, slowly kneading her master's muscles while mapping out the girl's sensitive spots that she knew like the back of her hand by now.

She whispered in Kagura's ears with an amused voice,

"Master, if you're worried about Bhao hearing you..."

Her hands went to her master's sides, lightly caressing the girl's skin, moving down Kagura's beautiful curves.

"Don't worry, he's watching the reruns of that drama you two enjoy so much... So..."

She slipped her hands beneath her charge's body and felt her way up, feeling Kagura's soft abdomen, slowly making her way to her master's two beautifully shaped hills.

Kagura let out a soft gasp as Enkai caressed and massaged her breasts, gently, playfully. She felt her guardian's hot breath on her ear, tickling her as Enkai whispered in her ear...

"We could do this and more, and he wouldn't. Even. Notice."..."

Noel Clover, The Right Touch.

= = = = = = = = = = =

"... Enkai savored the soft, supple breasts that Kagura had in her hands. Her master was smaller than her by quite a bit, but it still felt so damn good in her hands.

"En..."

The guardian was smiling now, lying down on Kagura, who in turn felt the nice, supple mounds that her guardian had against her back. The way they rubbed against her back felt very nice, but she had to get Enkai to back off, else who knew what might happen...

Okay, so she knew what would happen, but she didn't want anyone else to hear her. The very thought itself was so embarrassing that she couldn't help but blush very hard.

"En..."

"Enkai."

Kagura blinked at her guardian for a moment.

"You should call me Enkai, as is proper, Kagura."

The young girl couldn't believe her ears, Enkai was totally taking advantage of her at the moment!

"En, I'm warning you... get off...ah!"

She could barely say the words as she felt Enkai's fingers tweaking her hard nipples, sending waves of pleasure across her body.

"But master, I'm just pleasing you... Besides, unless you call me Enkai..."

She continued torturing her charge, who was still trying so very hard to keep her voice in. Enkai thought that Kagura was remarkably adorable then and proceeded to lick her charge's neck.

"F-Fine... En-Ah! Enkai...!"

The older woman kept on going, pleasuring her master though she did make it known that she heard the girl.

"Stop!"

Enkai stopped her kisses for a bit then, but her hands didn't stop fondling Kagura, feeling the girl's soft skin, caressing her master's breasts, kneading them as she knew how the girl liked it when she did.

"But Master... I'm just a humble servant, and I want to please you... Besides..."

She kissed and licked Kagura's necked a bit, and the young girl beneath her let out anther gasp.

"I'm massaging you, just as you want me to... You like my massage, don't you?"

She leaned in close to Kagura's ears, whispering...

"Master...?"..."

Noel Clover, Extra Service.

= = = = = = = = = =

"... Enkai was actually a little hopeful, thinking that if Bhao heard Kagura calling out for her and not him, he'd get the idea and bugger off. She knew that there was nothing between her girl and the man, but she didn't like it, not one bit.

Jealousy was a very powerful emotion... Especially if it's justified..."

"...She accidentally applied a little too much pressure on the wonderful, soft treasures in her hands, taken by a strong possessive urge, and felt Kagura wince from the pain. She quickly loosened her hold, kneading the hills softly again, massaging them as a token of apology as she whispered in Kagura's ears, telling her she was sorry.

Enkai applied kisses to the nape of her master's neck, kissing, sucking on the skin, a little bribe for her master to ignore her mistake. But she didn't need to, she saw, as Kagura was just gasping and moaning softly now, her brain probably didn't register any pain at the moment, so deeply affected by the waves of pleasure assaulting her...

She was almost reverent in her treatment of her master's delightfully soft and smooth skin, a sea of alabaster that attracted her as a siren calling to sailors.

She didn't want to share her master with anyone.

Ever..."

"... Enkai went on fondling the girl's breasts in her hand, making sure to pay them homage as they deserved as she slowly made her way down Kagura's body, kissing every inch of the girl's alabaster back. She lingered at certain areas that seemed to please her master even more than others, making sure to remember each and every single sweet spot on her master...

It was a wonderful journey for her, and there were times when she just pulled back a little to admire the beautiful porcelain skin beneath her. She couldn't get enough of her young charge, taking in the girl's scent as deeply as she could.

She felt that no matter how much of Kagura she took in, she would never have enough of the girl..."

"... Kagura felt Enkai's hands touching her derriere, and shivered in delight as the waves of pleasure threatened to overwhelm her. She had long given up any attempt at controlling herself, the massage and now this sensuous assault from her lover was just too much for the girl to take.

She turned herself around, laying bare her breasts to the woman. Enkai did a very good job with her hands, and was even better with her mouth, something Kagura knew first hand.

"En..."

Seeing Kagura's naked lust and desire for her reflected in her eyes softened Enkai a bit, but it was too much fun to taunt her master to even consider letting up a little.

"Say it."

Kagura looked at her, dazed.

"Say... what?"

"My name."

Kagura looked at her, obviously lost and not thinking straight anymore. Enkai noted that her usually rude and brash master was very adorable then, so she leaned down and whispered into the girl's ear, her hot breath causing her master to shiver.

"Enkai... Call me Enkai... And I'll continue."

Kagura gulped, and blushed even harder than before.

"En... Enkai..."

"Good girl."

She kissed Kagura, and the girl immediately parted her lips willingly, the two of them tasting each other, exploring the other's mouth. She noted that Kagura was sweating quite a bit already, and there was an urgency in her kiss that motivated Enkai to pleasuring her young master even more.

She reached down, leaving a trail of hot kisses across the girl's neck, the collarbone, making sure to pay attention to the girl's body as she made her way down to the two lovely mounds that were her target..."

"...Kagura sighed, looking at the TV screen. Man, these days without demons to hunt is really boring her out of hell. The crowds were still as lively as ever - The Chimera chatting about hell-related gossips with the elder Cerberus brother... The younger one went to hang those clothes in silence as ever... The Terrier brothers chatting while doing housechores... The dragon lady... wait.

What was the dragon lady doing anyway?

She said that she was going to make her some muffins- ah, speaking of muffins, the lack of killi- *cough* work out has made her, well, fat. Frowning, the devil huntress wondered if its wise to let her guardian to continue making her those delicious muffins-

"KAGURA~"

"W-WOAH!!!"

*BAM!*

Glomped. Enkai just fly-tackled-hugged Kagura. The both of them landed on the soft sofa and... well, it was kind of adorable on how the guardian just rubbed her cheek against the younger girl's cheek affectionately.

"Ka~gu~ra~~~"

"E-e-e-en! W-w-w-what are you...!"

Wait. Sniff sniff. There's something... not right here..."

"..."K-Kagura-sama! T-The 100 years alcohol...!"

"I know Fuu, I know..."

No doubt, Enkai has drenched in that 100 years alcohol. Damn, what was this woman thinking...?! She facepalmed herself, and tried to get the older lady up from hugging her.

"Come on En, you got to get up---"

"Ka~gu~raaaaa~~~ I don't wuannaaaaa~"

"En...!"

"Ennnnnkai *HICK!* Ryuuuuu.....mmmm....ou! ...da yo *HICK!* Ka... Gu... Raaaaa~"

Argh. This is really a huge problem. How on earth should the white head do in this case? Carry her up?

"Shouganai na... [No choice...]"

With a sigh again, Kagura pushed herself up - "HUP!" - and carried the drunken lady in a bridal style. Bahaodin and the elder Cerberus dropped their jaw and blushed.

"Ohmai. Real life Yuriness."

"I know right?"

"S-shut up, you two!" The blushing Kagura yelled at them, and stormed up to the stairs with Enkai in her arms... while flushing even deeper in red as the Terrier brothers giggled on how adorable their mistress and her guardian are.

Damn. This is SO EFF-ing embarrassing..."

"...Finally, she got to reach her own bedroom after all those... things. Sighing, she walked to her king-sized bed and gently put down her guardian in that comfortable bed - or at least, she hoped so. Just as she was going to turn away and get some water, she felt a tug on her loose casual shirt.

"Ka...gura...!"

"Wha...?"

Kagura turned back, meeting those eyes of her own guardian. Enkai's eyes were glimmering in tears, looking up at her own charge with such an innocent pleading face. It made Kagura's heart went "KYAAA~" for a moment before she calmed herself down.

"Don't... leave me... Onegai...!"

Gulp. The young mistress couldn't hold her emotions towards the older lady, and turned away. Oh my gosh, that is just too cute! But, the white head should assure her beloved dragon... how could she do that without charging forward and glomp down at that very cute lady?!

"Ehem, sorry," She finally calmed herself down and looked into Enkai's teary orange red eyes. With a charming smile, she landed a soft kiss on the older lady's forehead and rests her own forehead on the other, hands holding gently that the older one's. "I'll come back in a minute, okay? Just to get some water..."

"B-But...! Ka-"

"Trust me, En," The young charge smirked again, with full sincerity. "I'll be back. So be a good girl and wait here, okay?"

"...un."

Seeing that Enkai nodded, Kagura laid her down on the bed and covered her with that fluffy blanket, before slipping out-

"You're gonna come back, right...?"

-turning around and give Enkai another assuring smile.

"I will..."

Well, it's just taking a glass of water... what hell can she goes through?..."

 ‎"...ohhhhohoho. Oh no. Kagura did NOT expect this to come, indeed.

"Kagura-sama! How's Enkai-nee doing?"

"Mistress... You did NOT do something at her, right?"

"Ohno! Knowing Kagura-sama she wouldn't do that...!"

"Rai, you're too young to understand... When there's a drunken lady, things will HAPPEN!"

"How would she be acting? OHOHOHO! She must be acting very clingy and affectionate and---"

"Brother, please read the situation."

"...whoops. Sorry Miss Kagura."

Kagura stormed through the busy crowds... with a deep red face. Gosh, these people...! How can they be so...ARGH! The embarrassed girl nearly went crazy in the public and grab her face madly - but of course, she had pretty good self-controls. Otherwise, she would have glomped the older lady and...!

Control yourself Kagura, control yourself.

Coughing, she noted towards herself while pouring a glass of clear water, though her mind wandered off, thinking how adorable was her guardian in her drunken state. Now, if she could just get her hands on those...!

Kagura. Control. CON. TROL.

Taking a deep breath to calm herself down, she walked passed the crowds who's looking at her with an odd knowing grin, up to the stairs and into the bedroom she goes.

*CLACK!*

The door is now locked.

"...seriously, I bet for 10 days worth of gaming session - Miss Kagura would do something at Miss Enkai Ryuuou right now."..."

"...back to the bedroom, the long haired lady was sleeping soundly in the comfortable bed. My, how innocent and adorable was the sleeping face of her guardian. Chuckling, Kagura silently walked near towards the dragon lady, and gently brushed her hand against the smooth cheek of her lover.

Oh dear, how much she wanted her right here, right now.

Gasping, Kagura realized what she's doing right now - her hand wandered downwards- NO! KAGURA! Goddammit control yourself! She retracted her hand and slapped on her face for a few moments -

Which made the sleeping beauty woke up by the noises.

"Mmmgh... Kagu...ra?"

Ohmaigawd even the half-awake face of hers drew so much butterflies in the young charge's body. Kagura looked away from the guardian, for a moment, hand hovered on the air with the glass of water.

"E-e-e-en, d-d-drink t-this...!"

Ohgosh, how could she stammer at this moment?! And how she supposed Enkai - who just woke up and wobbly - to be drinking the water by herself? Gosh. Kagura is being so stupid right now.

"Hmmm...?"

Indeed, the dragon lady is looking at her young charge with a puzzled expression. It seemed that she had not clear up her mind yet. Kagura sighed at that, and shook her own head - trying to get rid of those unnecessary thoughts.

"Come on, I'll help you..."

She moved closer towards the half-awake dragon, wanting to feed her the drink. Enkai, however, shook her head towards that. Kagura raised her eyebrow.

"Come on Enkai, stop being a kid and drink this up..."

"No! I don't wanna...!"

Enkai pouted. Oh gosh, was she still in her drunken mode? Kagura sighed. Looks like there's no choice but to...

Raising the glass towards her own mouth, she fill her mouth fully with the liquid in the glass, before forcefully slam her hands down at Enkai's both arms - preventing her to reject her - and feed her with her own mouth.

Oh yes, a kiss, indeed.

After the older lady drank all of the liquid, Kagura playfully smirked and licked the remaining off from her cheek.

"How's it, my dear?"

"K-K-Kagura...!"

The older lady blushed at that. My, my, Kagura was sure forceful at this moment..."

...Kagura was just going to push herself up from this position, before Enkai dragged her back for a passionate kiss. The tongues twirled and danced with each other, sharing their affections towards each other. As they split, a shy smile formed on their faces.

Damn, drunken incident isn't that bad at all...

Slowly, they feel each other's heat and tender cuddles, locking their eyes and attention at each other. The whole world belonged to no one but only them right now...

What happened in the room? Well, let's just say some certain devil in Nakiteiru Majuu won his bet for the day..."

"...after a moment of love, lust, passion and desire - not to mention a drunken lady's extra vigor - the both of them cuddled each other. Enkai Ryuuou rested her head at Kagura's chest, while the younger girl fiddled with the long hair of her love's.

"En..."

"Hmm?"

"You feeling better right now?"

"...yeah. Thanks to you."

The devil huntress laughed at that.

"I never knew such... 'exercise', could cure your drunken mode."

"W-Wha...? No! Not that one I-I-I mean...!"

"Hai hai hai, go to sleep, alright?" The younger girl smirked and kissed on her guardian's forehead, gently caress the long haired woman.

"...un..."

Both of them closed their eyes, and were going to sleep...until Kagura popped up with a question.

"...say, why did you end up with the 100-years alcohol?"

"...eh? Oh, that..."

Enkai chuckled with embarrassment.

"I was... well, trying to find some 'extra' ingredients for your muffins so... Decided to use some of the 100-years to see how it taste like. But I accidentally spilled the whole thing and...... yeah."

"...for my muffins?"

"For your muffins."

Silence.

Before Kagura burst into a laughter.

"HAHAHAHAHA! I can't believe this... all of these for the muffins?!"

"S-Sou da yo Kagura! Mou...!"

"Ahahaha...! Ahahahahaha! G-Gomen En, but, this is just too funny! Ahahahahahaha!"

"K-Kagura...! Hmph!"

Enkai looked away and pouted. How could Kagura laugh at her! She was just trying to make it more delicious so that she could taste something different once in a while-

"Gomen, En," Kagura stopped laughed and cupped on the older lady's face, planting another tender kiss on the lips. "I appreciate that. Really."

"Hmph!" Enkai rolled to the side and pulled all the blankets for herself, making Kagura to stun at that moment. She scratched her head and thought of what to do right now. Well, perhaps she SHOULD be letting the dragon lady to rest for a while. The devil huntress sat up from the bed and ready to walk down, before she felt another tug on her pinky.

"Ka...Kagu...ra..."

Enkai - still facing the other side - shyly glanced towards the leaving girl. Though, it's pretty obvious that she wanted the other girl to stay with her. The devil huntress chuckled softly, before she turned back and face the dragon lady.

"Mattaku na..."

With a peck on the guardian's cheek, she slipped back into the blanket, and slid her arms on the guardian's slim, curvy, smooth waist. Landing a kiss on the smooth and pale back that belongs to Enkai Ryuuou, Kagura hugged her love tighter as the both of them slowly drifted off...

...into sweet dreams..."

"...every slashes she did, the more she worried about her own katana. But with her thoughts holding her up, the more she couldn't fight with her full might. Frowning, she sliced through the last incoming fireball, and moved her own left hand up to intercept the heavy blade that's aiming for her.

"Kagura...!"

Enkai's worried voices went into her ears, but she decided to ignore it. If she timed correctly, she would be able to hold the blade and stop it from cutting through her. She tried it before, so why not? Though this blade right now was ten times larger and heavier than those she stopped before.

Even if Kagura wasn't worried about it, Enkai surely was.

As her guardian and her lover, the katana wouldn't allow a single scratch on Kagura to happen, and of course, not a single handicap! With a burst of white flames, she dragged her own body forward and forcefully turned Kagura's body through the movements of the katana.

"E-En...!"

*CLASH!*

The katana bounced the heavy blade that was previously aiming at her own mistress, though the sacrifice was big. Fragments shot out from the sharp blade and the painful moan of the dragon lady could be heard.

This is why Kagura decided not to use the katana indeed.

"ENKAI!"

Immediately, Kagura pulled out from the battle, and went to a back alley, let the monster to search for her blindly - luckily it has low intelligence thus it proves to be harder for it to find her.

"Ka...Kagura..."

The voice of the katana rang out in the air, where the white headed devil huntress gently inspect the katana's blunt edges.

"En, daijoubu?"

"Kagura, I can't believe you're so stupid...!"

"W-Wha...?"

Frozen, the devil huntress looked at the priced Enkai Ryuuou with a confused state. The katana sure sound pretty angry right now.

"A weapon is meant to be used, Kagura. If you kept on holding back in the fear of breaking me, then I might as well break myself right now. If I really am fragile, if I couldn't protect you, then let me die for unable to complete my duty as a weapon, as a guardian!"

Kagura's crimson eyes widened. She cared too much for her love that she forgot that she had a pride on her own as a weapon too. Still...!

"Don't fear to use me, Kagura... Please! At least... At least, don't hurt yourself! My soul will not be in peace if I failed to protect you, and let you - my mistress - who's supposed to use me, to protect me instead...!"

The caring voice of the white dragon softened, slowly turned into a sober. She couldn't bear Kagura for being like this because of their love for each other. If it's because of love that she hurt Kagura... If it's really because of that...!

"I would cut all our ties and feelings if 'love' is what mattered to you, Kagura... If this 'love' is making you weak, then I shall kill this love within you, within myself!"

Enkai's voice was stern, and she wasn't kidding about that. Kagura knew it, but she won't gave up on this matter, no matter what...!

"Sorry Enkai," Taking a deep breath, the devil huntress swung the blade in her hand, and sheathed it back. No, it wasn't a sign of withdrawal... That pair of crimson eyes were showing no more fear, but determination.

"I will not let you do that, but I shall restrain myself in destroying your body further-"

"But...!"

"Enkai. If your body is destroyed right now, you will never ever be able to protect me again," The huntress smiled towards the katana. "I will try to evade all incoming attacks, while you do the attacking, okay?"

The spirit of the dragon lady widened her eyes, before giving a smile towards her gentle mistress.

"Fine. Just... be careful, okay?"

"I will Enkai, I will..."

The boots stomp on the floor as she soared up to the air, facing the giant monster once again. The huntress smirked with the same ol' confidence, and flashed her katana out..."

"...Enkai reverted to her humanoid form, and Kagura saw a fierce determination in her eyes despite the wounds. But the girl couldn't bear to go on hurting her, she just... couldn't.

She turned her back to Enkai and walked back to the fray, demonic gauntlets and greaves forming on her. Enkai's eyes widened and she got back up to her feet, running to her mistress and holding on to the girl's coat.

"K-Kagura! I-I can still fight!"

Her voice cracked.

"So... So don't... Don't..."

Tears fell down her cheeks and she tried to hold back a sob. She didn't want Kagura to see her like this, the girl would take it as a sign of weakness and not... not allow her to fulfill her duties.

Kagura turned her head a little, just enough to see Enkai.

"En. To me... You're more than a weapon. You're a woman."

She turned to her guardian, looking straight into the woman's eyes, holding her shoulders.

"You're MY woman."

Before Enkai could protest, Kagura kissed her hard and fast, licking her upper lip, cajoling her to spread them open. She did, and they shared a deep kiss that felt as though it lasted forever, but not long enough at the same time.

Kagura looked deeply into Enkai's eyes and the woman could see the conviction in the girl's crimson eyes.

"I won't allow it En. I won't let you get hurt."

Enkai could do little more than nod and watch her mistress as return to the slaughter, the determination showing in her posture and every step..."

"...people always questioned me - why don't I let Enkai show herself in the public? Well, first of all, she's in her traditional clothes, showing her big bosoms everywhere... not that I'm jealous that people looks at her! I-It's just that, you know, I don't like the... attention that much.

But today, it'll be different...

Having Huolin here is a nice thing, because she's always prepared with a lot of different clothes and costumes... Hmph, she is indeed a fashion designer. But that's not the point... She (and Enkai) had been begging me to dress Enkai up (and so that Enkai could go out for the first time) because she has such a good body.

Well, I don't mind people admiring her... I mean, it's a nice thing to be admired, right? (Just as how I enjo- I mean, admired her body.) It's a nice thing to be a model too. I guess it's fine to let her to dress her up.

"Kagura~"

But... But this...

"How do I look?"

I... I am NOT prepared for ANYTHING like THIS!!!

"Look at this!"

Enkai is smiling at me, having came out from the dressing room (that Huolin set up), twirling and turning around me. She's wearing this pair of short jeans, with black pantyhose (with some designs on it, I think?)... then she had this white shirt with a long-sleeved sweater that only shows her fingers!

T-This... This is...

"Kagura?"

"Uh. Erm. Yeah. N-N-Not bad. Yeah."

"...really?"

"Yeah! So, uh-"

And then I noticed her hair-do. Oh my gosh... It... It's so... cute.

"Erm, is my hair weird...? I mean, I haven't tried anything like this before..." Enkai spoke as she fidget a little when she saw my eyes fixed on her hair - her usual long (and sometimes messy hair) now tied to the upper side, and her long bangs were now clipped to one side. It gave her a very fresh look, and... she has this... shy look on her face...

T-This...

"N-No... It's... fine..."

"Really? YAY~"

Cough. I can't believe it. I think my breathing stopped for a few seconds there... seeing her in all these... I... I'm not sure if my heart can take it... And I think the air here is a bit too hot.

"Hey, I'm just gonna, uhm, wait outside. This is a bit too hot here."

With that, I just walked out... but I do heard someone saying this:

"Really? Outside is like 35 degree and here is like 28..."..."
