The Ronin and The Kunoichi ::~Haru & NTI~::

[NumberThreeInordinate]

The moment Ava heard that name, a name she hadn't heard in a long time, she felt her blood run cold and a deep swell of hatred fill her BUT, Yumi was there and she wasn't going to risk destroying the one saving grace she had for her own greed and thirst for vengeance. She'd killed the Master who had taken everything from her but now she was literally arms reach from the male who'd just stood by and let it happen. Keeping her eyes locked on the road she debated on how to bring this little surprise to his attention. If he really did hold that kind of regret, then she was sure he'd remember vividly every crime and evil deed that man did whether he wanted those memories or not. Screams of the innocent had a way of burning their way into your memory and never leaving.

So, when they stopped to make camp that night, Ava had gone out of her way to stay as far from Mochi as physically possible without giving too much away. Anyone who'd seen combat knew when someone was looking at them with malicious intent. It was a sort of six sense, being able to sense danger and hostility just from the way someone looked at you. It was a skill she'd honed and learned the hard way so she was sure the ex Samurai had learned this skill as well.

Ava did take Yumi with her to hunt. Not necessarily to trap anything, just to show her how to track something. She'd scouted the forest a bit before hand to make sure there weren't any real dangers then went out with her. After showing her how to track small creatures, she showed her some of the safe places animals would hide and how to sneak up on the spots if need be. When they returned to the camp, Yumi smiled as she began excitedly explaining the things she'd learned about tracking to Mochi.

"Maybe we can go tracking and hunting together next time?"
She asked him as Ava busied herself with sharpening one of her daggers. She couldn't look at him, not yet. When he went hunting with Yumi, that's when she'd get him on his own...or when they were at another Inn, somewhere that they could put Yumi and know she'd be safe.

​

Immediately at the mention of his former master's name, Mochizuki could tell that there was a reaction from Ava. She hid it well, but for those with a warrior's instinct it was as loud as a scream. The rest of the day she stayed away from him, though now and then he could feel her eyes upon him. A realization dawned that she had, in some way, been affected by his former lord. He knew that there would be a confrontation in the future, and he resigned himself to that inevitability.

When they decided to set camp for the night, Ava and Yumi went off to hunt, leaving Mochizuki to set up camp. By the time they got back there was a fire and the tent had been erected. There was also tea brewing. Keeping mostly to himself, and avoiding Ava unless she approached, Mochizuki welcomed Yumi back with a hug, the young woman excited to have been on the hunt. It was like she was experiencing her childhood all over again.

A nod to Ava as she field dressed what she had been able to kill, and in another little while it was roasting over the fire. They'd bought some dried herbs and the like, and Mochizuki had added some water and with the meat they had some vegetables to go with it and make a proper meal. As things cooked Mochizuki would start teaching Yumi some ways to defend herself. While doing so the Dragon-kin only dressed in his pants, setting aside his weapons, hat and upper robes. This bared his torso, and it was easy to see the scars that dotted his hide.

 

[NumberThreeInordinate]

While Mochi was teaching Yumi, Ava glanced at the male and spotted the scars. While any other time she would have just seen scars and battle wounds, now she saw targets. Dragon's were exceptionally hard to kill but the scars showed weakened scales. Scales that were brittle and would snap under the force of a sharp object like a thin dagger. Which Ava happened to have quite a few of in her arsenal. Returning her attention to the sharpening stone she just listened to the male as he corrected Yumi if her stance was off or if she was pushing too much weight on one side of her body. Being limber and agile was any fighters biggest defense. A good defense was just as important if not more important than a good offense.

There had been more than one occasion where Ava had just been defensive and illusive and had managed to run her enemy down in terms of stamina. If the enemy is tired, and you're not. Then it's your win, plain and simple. Finding a Ninja that would gas out too fast was rare but Samurai all fought head to head and went for the honorable kill. This shortened how much stamina they had as they were always looking to kill their enemy as quickly as possible. Ava and those like her chose to wear down their enemy, play mind games and make them panic before killing them as it was less physically stressful for them.

Yumi smiled at Mochi as she was practicing holds with the male and after a few attempts to get him on his back, she squeaked as she was flipped over his broad shoulder and while she could have hit the ground rather hard, she was slowed and just laid in the grass looking up at him. Smiling she reached up and stroked his jaw line, her eyes looking at every inch of his face, moving her hands down his chest as she continued to watch the path of her hands like she was mesmerized for the moment.

Blinking a few times as she snapped out of her daze a bright blush slapped her cheeks as she giggled nervously.
"Practice right?"
She said as she wiggled out from under him and sat near the fire, quickly sipping on some tea to distract herself.

 

[Haruchai]

​

Mochizuki could feel Ava's eyes on him, and he knew they'd have to talk soon. Yumi was doing well, but how much could one truly teach in a day? He flipped her slight form and then caught her, lowering her gently, then her hand stroked along his jaw and she smiled. He saw the blush on her cheeks but then she was hopping up and drinking a little tea. Stiring the food it was soon ready for consumption, and he had to admit - it was better than jerky and rice cakes.

After eating his fill Mochizuki sat back and grabbed his pipe to have a smoke. With a nod to the women he walked off some distance to smoke so that it would not bother them, but to open a chance to be approached should Ava so desire. The look he gave her as he turned to go asked a very simple question.

~What did he do to you?~

Though Mochizuki might not be able to be seen through the darkness, the end of his pipe glowed orange as he had his smoke, marking his location easily.

 

[NumberThreeInordinate]

When Mochi left, Ava had looked up to see the look he gave her. Busted. So he knew she held some sort of resentment against him. Looking back at her sharpening stone she sat there for a moment and weighed what she wanted to do, verses what was needed. Standing up she looked at Yumi and handed her one of her daggers.
"Be right back."
She said with a tight smile before leaving the rest of her weapons at the base of the tree she'd been leaning against. She didn't trust herself not to attack him if she had her weapons on her person.

Walking to where he was, she walked around him and sat in front of him, this time not hiding the outright hatred she had for him as a servant of that bastard. Her eyes were as cold as ice, but there was a raging inferno right behind that ice.
"I do believe your old Master was killed yes? Dagger to the stomach, opened up and left hanging upside down from the support beam in his home. It wasn't quick, I made sure of it. Just like him murdering my father, then raping and killing my mother in front of me...wasn't quick. And what did you do? Oh honorable Samurai?"
Standing up she got right in his face and snatched his pipe away from his face as tears were brimming her eyes. She would have screamed at him but she just growled the words.

"You just fucking stood there in the doorway and did NOTHING. Do you know what that does to you? When you're five years old and your mother tells you to hide in the basement. Then you watch through the gaps in the floor as your father is cut down for defending your mother. Then your mother is pushed face first into the floor and raped...more than once. And as if that's not bad enough, a sword stops inches from your face, coated in your mother's blood because, 'The whore was too loud.' Samurai honor my ass. You're no fucking better than him and the ONLY reason I'm not stabbing you in the fucking eye right now...is because Yumi. I'm not going to do to her...what you did to me. Death is too easy for you. You deserve to live with this new knowledge. That you destroyed a family, and a child because you were too much of a coward to speak up."

Stepping back she threw his pipe back into his lap. By this time she was crying, tears of pain and anger as she REALLY wanted to kill him out of her own selfish greed.
"Yumi is your responsibility now. You keep her safe and you treasure her and pray to whoever it is you pray to...that someone doesn't take her away from you while their guard just stands back and watches."

 

[Haruchai]

​

As expected, Ava sought him out. Mochizuki did not retaliate as she slapped his pipe away. Like her, he'd left his weapons behind, and he face her now without them. Without his honor. Ava then spoke what she held in her heart. A sense of relief washed through him as he realized she had been the one to kill his old master. As she described what had been done, what she had been put through, that particular incident was remembered by the Dragon.

So, his master had missed the child, and for that Mochizuki was glad. She would surely have met her end on the tip of a blade as well. He felt renewed shame that he had not stopped his lord in what he had done, and he had no words to offer Ava. None that would soothe her. Apologizing seemed trite, and as she sat and wept, her anger having crested now, he fought the urge to embrace her. She'd have resented him for it. Instead she had given him a task, and one which he would accept.

"I will protect her as if she were my own." he vowed, and he bowed low. Gathering his pipe he then left Ava to her anger and grief, he fulfilled his words and headed back to Yumi, the young woman unprotected with the both of them away. He had tucked his pipe away and given a nod to Yumi, when a roar shattered the night. Wholly inhuman, Mochizuki gathered his swords and scanned the area. Looking at Yumi he said simply, "Hide!"

The crackling of trees could be heard and a large humanoid shape could be distinguished through the trees, coming down a nearby hill. The road they traveled wound along the foothills of the mountains, and those were known to be home to various beasts. Mochizuki growled as the thing came into sight.

An ogre!

They did make the mountains their home, and it was rumored they often kept wolves as pets. It must have seen the fire or smelled their food... or worse yet, smelled one of the females and came to make itself a bedwarmer.

Mochizuki's blade sang as he drew it from its' sheath and he interposed himself between the ogre and Yumi.

 

[NumberThreeInordinate]

Ava was sitting on the dirt with her hands over her face when Mochi left. This was the right thing to do. Yumi needed him and taking him from her when she'd already had such a rough scrap of life wasn't fair. That's what she kept telling herself anyway. However when she heard the roar her tears stopped. Oh good, something she could focus her anger on and not have to worry about hurting Yumi. Pulling her half mask up, she scrambled into the trees and made her way over to where the Ogre was coming out. Accompanied by two wolves trailing behind but wolves were no trouble, that large beast would be a handful even for two highly trained warriors. Their hide was incredibly thick and while they weren't the smartest thing on two legs, they were unbelievably strong.

Ava had once witnessed one of those creatures tearing a grown man in two with just it's hands, not a pretty sight but they did have a habit of taking human or Anthro females and trying to mate with them which never ended well for the females as they were far too big and just the act of penetration tended to kill the female by impalement, which just turned her into a meal after that...or on the odd case, the Ogre still attempted with the deceased female.

As Mochi drew his blade, Ava jumped across the trees and threw three black balls at the Ogre's feet.
"Shield your eyes!"
She called out as she landed on the ground by the tree with her weapons and blocked her view of the creature by hiding behind the tree. The three balls hit the ground and a brilliant white light lit up the area. In the darkness, such a bright light would blind and confuse the large beast and his wolves. Ava then snatched up her swords and daggers, sheathing them and bolting after the wolves. While they weren't a big problem, they be able to get past Ava and Mochi while they dealt with the Ogre and find a defenseless Yumi which was not an option.

So, with a few well placed throwing knives, Ava was able to dispatch of the dogs quickly then turned right as a large wooden club came her way. It looked like a tree that had been stripped of its branches but thankfully the first hit missed Ava and instead splintered another tree beside her. Taking that time, she ran to the beast's feet and sliced her poisonous blades along the creatures shin's and calves to get her poison working but thanks to how big this thing was, it would take a while.

While Ava was fighting the wolves and attacking the large beast, Yumi was huddled up by the carriage, watching in horror and trying to cover her mouth with her hands to keep her rapid breathing slightly quieter while also keeping an eye on Ava as well as Mochi who hadn't moved from where he stood in front of her.

 

[Haruchai]

​

As he drew his katana he saw Ava from the corner of his eyes, and he moved at the same time. Three small black spheres were thrown and Ava shouted her warning, but Mochizuki smiled. He was a Dragon, and whether they were smoke, or light, or even poison... he was prepared. A nictitating membrane snapped shut over his eye, dark in color, and as the bright white light flashed he charged. The membrane protected his eye from light and smoke, and even could be used in conjunction with his keen sense of smell, allowing him to see heat and in darkness.

The ogre recoiled slightly from the blast, one arm coming up to shield its' eyes, and Mochizuki saw Ava dash after the ogre's wolves. Her daggers had slashed across the thick hide of the ogre, and it bled a dark ichor. His blade flashed and sliced across the back of the ogre's knee. It flailed, and luckily Ava dodged the massive club of the being as it swung out wide.

Mochizuki ducked low and rolled forward, stabbing upward, toward the groin of the ogre, causing it to scream in pain as the blade drove deep into its' groin as he sought to cripple it. A massive fist swatted him to the side and Mochizuki rolled, bruised but fine overall, his thick hide and solid build protecting him.

By now the light had diminished, and yet Mochizuki kept those protective lenses down and circled wide. Wakizashi wielded in his left hand, Mochizuki poked holes in the ogre's legs as he ran, the beast roaring in pain and frustration, and though each wound was by itself very small, each one bled and took their toll. Leaping, that blade was driven into the ogre's back, and Mochizuki dropped to the ground, leaving the short sword embedded in the ogre as he drew his long sword's blade down the back of the ogre's leg, forcing it to fall. This in turn made it more dangerous, but also easier to strike at vital places.

The ogre was hobbled now, and more on Mochizuki's level, as the two squared off.

 

[NumberThreeInordinate]

While Mochi was doing significant damage to the Ogre and causing quite a bit of distraction, Ava moved out of the way and ran part way up a tree, bouncing off of the tree and turning around as she fired her sword and it buried itself about three quarters of the way into the beasts neck. Back flipping over the beast she ducked the moment she hit the ground and avoided another wild swing of that damn tree in his hand. Rolling to the right, she launched forward and slid under the male as he started to fall, dragging her second sword along his side but as she moved, she got distracted by all of the thoughts she'd been previously debating on. Now, fighting a massive and plenty dangerous foe, her mind wasn't 100% in the game.

Moving around as the male dropped to a knee, she grabbed her blade that had been in its neck and yanked it free, twisting hard to slash that same space but she'd remained stationary for too long and that tree trunk of a club he had, came up from her blind side. Yumi screamed as Ava was batted away like a child's toy, sent flying through the woods till she slammed into the ground after gravity was done with her. Ava was strong but she was also a mortal and a shot like that would knock out even the strongest of warriors in full plate so it was no surprise that Ava was unconscious from a shot like that with leather armor on.

Without any thought at all, Yumi ran over to where Ava had stopped rolling and quickly grabbed up under her arms, dragging her behind a tree stump, grabbing one of her daggers in shaking hands and standing guard which was very brave, but also not good because she was too afraid to really be that effective. Looking down, even in the dark, Yumi could see blood dripping from the corner of Ava's mouth and the cloth on her right side was ripped open and her scales bared, some blood there as well.

 

[Haruchai]

​

Ava was fast, Mochizuki would give her that. Devious and quick-witted. But the sheer physicality of this foe seemed to have gotten the better of her. She seemed distracted, and that huge club carried her for several feet before hurling her into the surrounding forest until she slammed into a tree and slumped to the ground. Yumi, stupid but brave as she was, broke from cover and ran to her friend and benefactor. The movement of the delicious human girl drew the gaze of the ogre, and that was just the opening that Mochizuki needed.

There was a bright flare as he breathed fire upon his blade, the katana now wreathed in flame, and the Dragon leapt, drawing his blade across the back of the neck of the ogre, severing ligaments and bone there. The ogre howled in pain and as it reached instinctively for the wound, as Mochizuki knew it would, he was prepared. The katana flashed down in a vicious arc, the ogre's hand thudding onto the forest floor and rolling a little down the hill, the bleeding stump causing a horrible shriek from the beast.

Mochizuki could see Yumi cradling Ava, a dagger in one hand as she defended her, and he knew he needed to end this. That massive club swung down, and Mochizuki rolled, the earth shuddering under the blow, and before the ogre could lift the weapon he whirled, sword slicing level with his chest and across the throat of the ogre, splitting it open, and spotting Mochizuki with arterial spray as he opened up the carotid. Rushing in now that the ogre was stunned he drove the sword point first into that same wound, all the way to the tsuba or handguard, the tip protruding out the back of the neck, right in the cut that Mochizuki had made earlier, weakening that spot. With a wicked twist the blade completely severed one half of the neck, the ogre's head tilting gruesomely to one side as it collapsed back, quite dead.

Immediately Mochizuki's gaze went to the women, and without even sheathing his sword he ran to then, concern etched on his features. Handing Yumi his sword he lifted Ava gingerly in his arms, and carried her back to their camp. The body of the ogre would have to stay where it was for now. He could move it but his first concern was Ava and Yumi. Quickly checking for wounds he bandaged her as best he could, stemming the flow of blood, and seeing that despite it all she was mainly bruised. Perhaps a cracked rib or two, but nothing that several days of rest would not put well on their way to healing.

 

[NumberThreeInordinate]

Yumi sat on her knees shaking so viciously that the sword in her hand was rattling just from the constant vibration Yumi was giving off. It was her first real experience with that much fear and adrenaline dumping into her blood stream. A feeling that any seasoned warrior knew how to handle but for someone as novice as Yumi, she tossed the sword and dagger down as she crawled over to a tree and vomited. The combination of nerves and the ease of her adrenaline wearing off had her stomach doing tumbles. Wiping her mouth she slowly crawled back and looked at the two as Ava was wrapped and looked better. Yumi then turned her attention on Mochi. The blood on his scales wasn't his, she could tell that.

Grabbing a cloth from the carriage she used one of the water sacks to wet the rag and carefully wiped his chest and face of the blood. Her hands still shaking and some color slowly returning to her skin as she started to cry, just from the fear of nearly dying. At least that was how she felt. Had they not been there, she'd have been a rape victim and a meal to that creature. Dropping the rag as she couldn't really hold it anymore she locked her arms around Mochi and tried to calm down but was nearly hyperventilating.

It would take about ten minutes of calming her down before she slowly slumped into Mochi and fell asleep, her body physically and mentally exhausted from the emotions that had steamrolled through her. Ava would sleep through the rest of the night and into the morning which had her being put into the back of the carriage since she was rendered immobile at the moment. Yumi steering the carriage while keeping the pace with Mochi. There was another fairly large town about half a day's journey up the road so they could stay there till Ava was healed.

It was a day away from their target city so there was no real rush to get there.

 

[Haruchai]

​

Yumi had a typical reaction, and Mochizuki did not flinch away from it. He bandaged Ava up as best he could, but they needed a real healer, and the town ahead should be able to provide one. He managed to get Yumi to calm down, and he held her through the night, as had become the routine. Even though he knew she'd hate it, and likely would not have allowed it were she conscious, Mochizuki pressed close to Ava as well, sandwiching himself between the two, his warmth bleeding into Ava. She'd need it.

When morning arrived he carefully loaded Ava into the carriage and padded around her as best he could so she'd not be jostled quite as much. Then they would set out toward the next town, leaving the carcass of the ogre where it was as a warning to anyone that might be following. The forest wolves would take care of it in short order.

By the time the sun was high in the sky the town was in sight, sitting down in a valley, surrounded by verdant farmland. Even from where they were on the road they could see figures moving in the fields. This area was well known for both rice and sweet potatoes, and surely among those in the town would be a priest or healer that could help Ava.

Leading the cart, and looking up at Yumi encouragingly, Mochizuki led them into the town, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw a temple, a sizable one, and he headed there first. The priests there looked over Ava carefully and agreed to tend to her wounds, for a small donation of course. The were men of the gods, yet they needed to keep the temple running. Mochizuki paid their price and they began their ritualistic healing. Channeling the divine power of the gods, Mochizuki and Yumi could watch as the discolored flesh of Ava began to look better and her breathing became less labored.

In another moment her eyes began to flutter open.

 

[NumberThreeInordinate]

Ava became aware of a warmth filling her chest about two minutes into the healing process and as she slowly opened her eyes, she slowly saw several blurry figures over her. Blinking a few times, her eyes focused as she was looking at two priests, Yumi's suddenly relieved face and Mochi. Blinking a few more times she looked down at her side to see the males hands hovering over her bared side. Sighing a bit she could feel some of her ribs were cracked which was what the males were healing. The bruises on her ribs would have to heal on their own which she was fine with. Laying still, she just closed her eyes again and relaxed as they were inside of a temple and even the lowest of assassins followed the unspoken rule of temples being a sanctuary. No violence.

When she was done healing, the priest suggested she take at least two days of down time to let the healing set and to also heal her bruised ribs. Ava slowly sat up with the help of one of the priests and winced as her bruised ribs yelled at her. Thanking the priests they both smiled before Yumi offered Ava a shoulder to lean on and she accepted with a smile. Easing herself against Yumi she walked with the female out of the temple and over to a fairly nice Inn. Renting a room there for four nights, making sure they'd gotten a good amount of time paid for, Ava got up to the room and was relieved to find a cast iron tub where she'd be able to bathe in the comfort of the room.

Yumi took it upon herself to shoo Mochi out of the room so that Ava could bathe, smiling and kissing his cheek as she did this. She then helped Ava strip out of her clothing and filled her tub with hot water, adding some rose pedals to scent the water. Ava slowly slipped herself into the water and soon Yumi was with her, washing her scales and smiling at her.

"You're so pretty."
"I don't feel pretty."
She said as she winced again, her right side hid the bruises thanks to her dark scales, but some of her pink underbelly was showing the dark purple and blue of her bruises.

 

[Haruchai]

​

There was no hiding the sigh of relief as Ava regained consciousness, and Yumi immediately hugged her, though Mochizuki dared not lay hands on the woman just yet, even in kindness. He rather valued his fingers. The healers gave their recommendations and the trio sought out a nice inn with a large room and a tub, which they found, and soon they had procured a room, and Yumi was shooing Mochizuki away.

The Dragon took the cue and went downstairs and back out onto the street, a tavern just across the way, and soon Mochizuki was well into his cups, warm sake sliding down his throat. Now, let it be said that few intoxicants or poisons truly affect a Dragon such a Mochizuki. Warm as he was he was not cool like a River Dragon or Snow Dragon, and the fact he could breathe fire showed he was a Sky Dragon of some stripe. That internal warmth conferred with it a few very nice benefits.

First, most poisons, unless exceptionally virulent, burned off in his blood before they truly affected him. This applied to alcohol as well. It burned away quickly. The second, and one that he had rarely had to use in his life, was that he could eat and digest damn near anything. His metabolism, as with the aforementioned substances, simply burned things away. This also had the benefit that Mochizuki had no waste to speak of.

So it should be known that by the time Mochizuki returned to the room it had been quite some time and quite a lot of sake had been consumed. Just as Ava had swayed as she put on the act of being drunk, so now too did the ronin. Though Yumi and Ava heard him coming, his deep voice singing in a way that rumbled down the hallways. He entered the room with a flourish, swaying a bit, a bottle of the rice wine in his hand, and he bowed to Yumi.

"Iss'shee feelin' bett'rr?" he asked, words slurred, though it was obvious he meant Ava. "Shee's sooo prityyy. Dun like seein' herrr h'rt." he said, most words extended, though a couple cut short.

 

[NumberThreeInordinate]

Yumi and Ava had long since been out of the tub, Ava wearing a sheer night gown that would put little to no pressure on her ribs while Yumi was in a light sleeping kimono. Made of silk and left in the room by the Inn keeper for Yumi. It framed her body beautifully, enough so that even Ava was drooling when she first saw Yumi put it on. The tails of the hem only reaching her mid thigh which made Ava REALLY wanna play with Yumi but she didn't have the flexibility at the moment. So as the females sat on the large bed, both turned to the door as a rather loud and drunk Mochi sauntered in.

Yumi slipped out of the bed as Ava rolled her eyes.
"I was feeling better."
She replied to his slurred tone, mainly because she was enjoying the quiet and he was the opposite of quiet. Yumi smiled at him and gingerly slipped the bottle out of his hand, pouring a small cup and handing it to Ava.
"You be nice missy. Drink some."
She said as she smiled and Ava just sighed, throwing back the sake and wincing at the sudden movement as well as the burn in her throat.

"Gods...what are you drinking? Liquid fire? Not everyone is a dragon you big lizard."
Ava said as she rubbed the front of her throat, as she did the sheer nighty she was wearing dropped a bit and exposed quite a bit of cleavage. Yumi noticed this and scurried over, lifting her nighty but also giving Mochi a beautiful view of the Kimono barely covering her pale skinned back side. Ava took another shot of sake and slid her attention around Yumi to shoot a glare at Mochi for staring so obviously. Lifting her tail and moving it to cover Yumi's backside.

"Careful Yumi. Mochi here is an ass man, and you're on prime display."

 

[Haruchai]

​

Mochizuki's eyes narrowed as Yumi took away his drink, and one large hand made a grab at her backside, that paw large enough to cover her entire ass, but he missed as she went to Ava and gave her a drink. Then Ava made him chuckle.

"Whuuut? Poor bebe can't hannle it? Tooo stronnnng fer yoooo?" he asked, swaying toward them as Ava covered up the soft swell of Yumi's backside. Though his eyes simply shifted to Ava, and the inordinate amount of cleavage she was showing, the little tent of her nipple poking at the cloth and that small nub all that seemed to hold the sheer cloth in place. Which in turn made his eyes drift down her form, admiring her curves.

By now the inebriated ronin was right behind Yumi, and he swayed a little as he tilted his head down, and down, and down... having to bend at the waist as his smelled her hair. "Yoooo smelll, sooo goooooood...." he exclaimed, and his hands found her hips, and he gently pulled her back to him. "Dansss wif meeee." he said, and swayed a little more. He wasn't pawing at her and all he did was sway and he seemed entirely happy with just that, though his slitted eyelids still drank in the sight of Ava.

 

[NumberThreeInordinate]

Ava narrowed her eyes back at him and while Ava wasn't really pleased about his wandering eyes, Yumi was soaking it up since she'd spent the better part of her life being told she was an ugly whore, now a massive Dragon-kin male was admiring her. It was a nice confidence boost for her. So as he grabbed her hips and pulled her back, Yumi stood up with her back to his chest, lifting her right hand to hold the back of his neck as she swayed her hips with his. Again, Ava had to keep herself from drooling as Yumi just had this natural seduction about her. She was so innocent in her movements but it made it all the more alluring to watch. Shaking her head Ava sighed.

"Yumi, you really are too sweet for your own good."
She said as she sipped her third glass of sake. Yumi just smiled as she turned in Mochi's hold and started to dance with the male, smiling and giggling as she did. Ava felt a smile tug at her lips from how Yumi seemed to have a contagious giggle. After their little dance was over, Ava grabbed a cool rag and tossed it right at Mochi's face.
"Cool off lizard. She's still innocent."
She said as Yumi was now sitting...more like straddling, his lap and Mochi seemed more than content with that. Standing up slowly, the sake helping to reduce how sore she was, Ava decided to play with Mochi.

"This feels weird."
She said as she rubbed the sheer night gown then reached down and pulled the hem up, then off of her so that she was bared for his view. Her backside which was covered by her tail as Yumi gasped and went to get up to cover her but Ava smiled as she turned her head.
"I'm an adult Yumi, just like you. Why be ashamed of your skin?"
Yumi just sat there for a moment and after a huff she yanked off her Kimono just as she was hoping she would. Drunk or not, Mochi would have a knock out of a female sitting naked on his lap. Yumi was smooth as silk and shaven which was always nice, lovely pale skin and soft pink nipples. Her face was red as a tomato though which just made it adorable.

 

[Haruchai]

​

It was all a bit of ablur for the Dragon, as Yumi backed up to him, lifting her arm to slide her hand about him as he remained bent over, his height preventing him from pulling away unless he wanted to lose her touch. He didn't. His head was bowed, chin resting on her shoulder, looking down her gown, her smaller pert breasts a contrast to Ava, but fitting her frame quite nicely. He felt the stirrings of arousal between his legs, and he realized just how long it had been since he'd been with a woman.

They danced as he managed to hum a soft low tune. Yumi was soft and smelled so nice, and then Ava tossed the cloth at him and Mochizuki smiled, fangs showing, but obviously amused. He then almost seemed to pout as he was reminded of Yumi's innocence. It was true, and Ava had tasked him with keeping her safe, that would include himself.

However, Ave soon denuded herself though, her more ample breasts and curvier backside bared to him, though she hid her most precious areas with her tail. Mochizuki chuckled, low and deep, the alcohol starting to burn off in his system, when Yumi herself tossed her robes aside, her bare ass now pressing to his robed thigh where he sat, her skin flawless and the only hair on her body residing on her head.

Swallowing thickly as his body tried to fight out of the fog of alcohol, his blood pumping through him now, his desire rising. He could feel the heat growing between his legs and soon he'd not be able to hide. That was not a gift most males had, much less as a Dragon-kin. He was big... everywhere, and his cock, to a human female, would be quite exotic. Trying to rise, he didn't want to dump Yumi off his lap, and soon, despite himself, she'd be able to feel his arousal pressing under her. But it was the scent of Ava that had even more effect, her reptilian scent, only discernible by other reptiles, could not simply be hidden by her tail, and his forked tongue flicked the air, tasting her despite himself.

A low noise escaped him, and he leaned back in the chair he was in, resigned to his fate.

Ava smiled as she looked at Yumi who looked down to see what was poking her. Standing up, Ava walked over to Yumi and carefully pulled her off of Mochi and replaced her ass with Yumi's. Planting her round ass on Mochi's lap she instantly felt the erection and smirked as she began rolling her hips in a seductive manner. The Sake playing a part on her as she continued to roll her hips. Yumi looked at Ava and while innocent, could tell what Ava was doing and moved around to Mochi's left side.

She then lifted Mochi's chin and smiled at him as she wrapped her arms around his head, placing his muzzle right between her breasts as she stroked the back of his head. Ava smirked as well and looked up at the male.
"Should consider yourself lucky Mochi. How many males your size have two beautiful vixen's naked on their lap hmm?"
She asked with a giggle before standing up and hooking her tail around the back of his neck, dragging him to the bed where she looked at the male.

Pushing him onto his back, she looked at the male while wrapping her arms around Yumi's waist and her tail around Yumi's thigh. Looking at Mochi she eyed the bulge in his pants.
"You now have a choice lizard. Pink or pale?"
She asked as Yumi seemed to have a clouded look in her eyes as she licked her lips in a seductive manner.

The soft ass on his lap as Ava moved Yumi away and sat herself down and then rubbed along him, only had him falling deeper into the well of desire. The scent of Ava was intoxicating, and now he could taste Yumi on the air as well, the traces of their own desire sweet on his tongue as it flicked out of his mouth briefly. Then Ava stood and dragged him along to the bed. He could have fought her, but he didn't want to. Then, he was on his back.

He was not yet fully erect, still fighting it a bit, but the tent in his hakama was becoming more apparent. Ava called him out on it though, presenting both herself and Yumi as choices for him. His mind reeled. He'd promised to protect Yumi, and he looked at her, a little surprised to see the blush on her cheeks, but her small pink tongue gliding over her lips in a certain anticipation. Ava though... her scent hung in the air like honeysuckle, and Mochizuki shook his head trying to clear it, mumbling to himself, but in his drunken state both women could hear.

"I wan' boooth." he admitted, and he wondered how Ava could be doing this when she obviously hated him and wanted him to die. After this assignment he would bare his neck for her and allow her to kill him if she desired, but now? she was offering herself to him? The slight frame of Yumi was wonderful, but he wondered if she could even enjoy him in that way. He was not a man, and that would be evident when he was revealed to either of them. He also ran the risk of hurting Yumi's feelings. She was obviously becoming attached, and he could see the infatuation in her eyes often. He spoke more clearly.

"Both." he said. A tall order, but he wondered what Ava might say now.

Ava smirked at the male and shook her head as she tsked him with her tongue.
"Such a greedy male. This is why Samurai are so stuck up, thinking they can just take anyone they want."
Which that statement had a little hidden meaning behind it. Slipping her tail into the nighty on the floor she picked it up and put it on, looking at Yumi whom she kissed softly on the cheek.
"He's all yours. I can smell it on you honey."
She said as she smiled and gave her a reassuring shove to the bed before walking out. She'd had no intention of giving that male her body but she did enjoy making him choose.

Ava was used to males seeing her body and wanting her, so he was no different in that regard. Yumi saw something in him and for that, she was giving him to her on a silver platter. Leaving the room, Ava just went to a more private area since her nighty was still fairly conservative. Resting on a large couch, she laid in a way that wouldn't hurt and decided to take a nap.

Yumi slid over to Mochi and looked at the large tent in his pants with curious awe. Reaching out she ran her fingers softly over the twitching tip of the tent then looked at the male in front of her.
"I-I can help you...if you'll have me?"
She said as she straddled his waist, pressing her naked backside against the tent and gasping at the heat she felt there before pressing her chest against his and kissing his lips softly. While her movements were alluring, her kissing was still at a novice level and while protecting her didn't exactly mean having sex with her, she was giving him her body willingly.

​

Ava gently pushed Yumi towards him, and he had to wonder what she'd have done if he'd solely picked her and not shown his true nature. He was greedy! He was a dragon after all, and they did like to hoard things. He watched as Ava picked up her nighty, her breasts swaying, hanging like ripe fruit to be plucked before she stood upright again and sauntered out, leaving him along with Yumi.

The infatuated little human crawled up into the bed with him, and Mochizuki groaned softly as he felt her hand tease over the tip of that tent. His large hands moved to steady her as she straddled him, his sheer size splaying her legs out wide, the soft damp heat of her sex pressed to his smooth skin, and she gasped at the veritable furnace pressed against her ass. Her soft lips began to caress his face, and Mochizuki said softly, "I will have you.". It was a confirmation of his acceptance, and also a reassurance for her. Those hands of his cradled her bottom, soft against his skin, each cheek held softly as he kneaded her flesh, his claws carefully kept away from her skin.

Her kisses were eager and Mochizuki smiled. His mouth was very flexible and his lips surprisingly soft against hers as he kissed her gently. Then he lifted her. She weighed next to nothing, and he scooted her up along his torso until she was not quite so spread and could straddle his face.

"I want to taste you." he said simply, almost all trace of slurring gone from him now that his arousal and adrenaline had spiked. Her tiny pink pussy hovered just over his face, the smell of her inundating his nostrils, and his tongue flicked out before he turned his head, careful of his horns on the pillows, and kissed the inside of one thigh. He kissed up and up, eyes flicking to Yumi's face before he skipped over her pussy and devilishly teased his mouth down her other thigh. His hands slipped up her slim body, thumbs rubbing back and forth across her nipples as they pebbled under his touch.

Yumi squeaked again as he lifted her like she was a doll and moved her so that she was straddling his face. When he spoke again she had to grip the back head board of the bed as her face went through three different shades of red.
"T-taste? It's dirty down there!"
Her nervousness and slight embarrassment since she'd never had anything like this and that small kiss to her inner thigh had her gasping as she gripped the head board with a white knuckled hold for a few moments, hips bucking and breathing escalating rapidly.

Mochi wasn't even kissing her folds yet and she was already twice as wet as she'd been a few moments ago, shaking in his strong hands and bucking each time his strong hands gripped her ass cheeks or his lips dragged along her skin. When his hands moved up farther and her breasts and nipples became the target of his attention, Yumi's head fell as she was shaking and struggling for air, letting out squeaks and moans as his rough thumbs slid along her tight nipples. Thanks to how small her breasts were, her nipples were actually very sensitive and it showed now.

She actually had a hard time wearing the traditional Kimono's as the silk fabric would often tease her nipples and cause uncomfortable arousal. Reaching down with one hand she stroked along his jaw and cheek, biting her lower lip to keep herself from drooling with how aroused she was. Her eyes clouded with lust and passion, her hips instinctively rolling as she was desperate for any kind of touch at this particular moment.

​

Yumi seemed reluctant, but Mochizuki proceeded and son the little human was writhing and he was having to hold her in plce lest she wiggle herself right off of him! He kissed up an ddonw both thighs, once more, her pussy almost literally dripping down, her labia widening as they became engorged, swollen with blood and a slightly deeper hue. Her body was preparing for penetration and Mochizuki could see the glistening pink just within her lips as they parted slightly, and down below he throbbed.

The tines of his bifurcated tongue then stroked along those labia, one tine on each side, licking along her pussy from asshole to clit, then back down, swirling teasingly against that puckered star, rimming her gently before flicking back up along the seam of her pussy. Those tines then spread her lips and his tongue slid along her pink wet folds, tasting her fully, the taste of her now on his tongue. The tip of his snout pressed along her, splaying her lips wide as he breathed her in, her nectar smeared on his skin, leaving it glistening though it dried quickly and his tongue lapped eagerly at her sex, those tines of the forked tip flicking over her small clit, then wrapping around it to squeeze as the body of his tongue probed at the entrance to her body.

Above all of this his thumbs rolled her nipples, and then lightly pinched them between thumb and forefinger, one set of claws scraping delicately over those soft orbs. Down below Mochizuki passionately licked her, soft wet sounds evident from between her legs. But in another moment he stopped licking and kissed her pussy, soft and slow, an act of caring and not merely lustful.

When Yumi felt his tongue finally slide along her folds she gasped and threw her head back as her walls locked down tight and her pussy lips quivered with need. However the feeling of his tongue stroking along the tight pucker of her ass made her cheeks tighten as she squeaked again. Looking down at him as she was curious why he was doing that but as he continued, the strange feeling turned into a good feeling and soon she was pressing her ass down on his mouth. Then she felt that talented tongue pushing inside of her pussy which had her moaning a bit louder as she rocked and humped his face. The electric feeling that was shooting through her body was very addictive and she wanted more of it.

The combination of his tongue on and in her sex, the occasional lick to her anus, and then her nipples being played with had her head falling back on her shoulders as her mouth hung open and a slight amount of drool slid down her cheek. Panting heavily as her body shook, a few moments later her eyes flew open as her back arched and she had to quickly brace her hands on the tops of his thighs. Eyes rolling into the back of her head as her thighs squeezed the sides of Mochi's head and a rush of hot liquids flew out of her and splattered into Mochi's mouth and along his neck as she squirt from her very first orgasm.

Falling limp onto his chest as she tried to collect her breathing and come back down to earth. Twitching on occasion as she slowly moved her hand to slide under his waist band and gripped the thick member of his erection, her soft slim fingers starting a lazy stroking as she was having a hard time with coordination at the moment.
