Ninja bound by honor (Ecchi & Lanolyt)

[Ecchi Kunoichi]

A figure dashes through the trees in a deep forest. This figure wears a dark purple bodysuit, sleeveless to leave her arms and some of her shoulders exposed, while covering the rest of her body. Long dark hair is tied up in a ponytail, and her face is hidden behind a mask matching the color of her outfit. In her hands are gripped two short swords, glimmering in the moonlight as she dashes around the trees as quickly as she can. Silvery eyes look through the forest ahead, watching for obstacles, or a clear rout of escape. Her outfit had a few cuts and tears in it, a few small red lines trickled with minuscule amounts of her blood. Her wounds were not enough to slow her down or put her in any danger, they just stung annoyingly. As she moves through the trees, they seem to be getting thicker, closer together as she enters a more thickly grown part of the forest. The men chasing after her were only a few paces behind and still keeping up with her easily. She was beginning to wear out, she would need to rest soon, but if she stopped she would have to fight again for her life. There had to be a way out of this. She trips over an upraised root, a rather lucky mistake not often made by a ninja like her, but it saved her this time as one of her pursuers had thrown a knife that now simply whizzed over her head. She throws down a smoke bomb hoping to slow them down while she regains her footing, but she wouldn't last much longer anyway. This could really be the end, she thinks...

 

[Lanolyt]

Lyte was out gathering herbs and roots in the pre-dawn light.

At 20, the alchemist could not yet afford to pay others for his ingredients, so he had to get them himself to use or trade. His steel gray eyes had probed the forest grounds since the moon had risen, and his blond loosely tied hair tossed about as he paused to stoop for this or pick or cut at that.
But he was pleased. He had found some truly rare mushrooms this night as well as the much-sought dragonsbane plant. Just a little more and he'd be ready to return to his lab...which was also his home.

It WAS a nice home, he reflected. Smaller than the sole heir of the Kobota clan might have once commanded, but as he had no servants, it suited him. He even had rooms for guests...not that anyone wanted to visit an experimental alchemist's house.

His stained smock a melange of dark colors that gave of some odd acrid odors. He was just in the process of digging up a yummy ginger root when he heard the quick footfalls.

Crouched behind a stump, he saw the masked figure dart across his vision like a purple blade, and then the mass of ugly pursuers...

Visions of school days, and similar packs of bullies came to mind. Back then he had had to cower and could do nothing. Now....

Without thinking, his hand threw the flask and he ducked. The magically infused reactant hit a tree in the center of them and a sphere 10 meters wide just ceased to be. The lone surviving pursuer only had time to gasp as his charge carried him into the near five meter cup that had appeared before him, and then die as the two foot wide tree trunk, lacking roots and lower five meters of itself, crushed him into past, before resting against the nearby trees.

Lyte walked forward, vaguely horrified by what he'd done. But he hated bullies...and mobs. He examined the clean edge of the pit and then stepped back...to look up into the eyes of the one pursued.

He noticed that this was most extensively a woman. No kimono could hide that bust. He also noted that she was armed with dual swords.

"I'm hoping that we, at the least, are not enemies. I think I just saved your life from whomever they are. I can guarantee that you will never see them again."

 

[Ecchi Kunoichi]

Akane, as was the ninja woman's name, gasped in pain as she was trying to gain her footing. It seemed that trip had in fact twisted her ankle, and now it hurt to stand on at all. This was her final moment, she thought, as she could not run with this painfully sprained ankle. She would be unable to fight back as well as she normally could because of it, and her general exhaustion. She sighs softly, and turns to face a proud warrior's death, facing her approaching enemies....

What she sees however, is not what she expected to happen, not in a hundred years. Her enemies and parts of the forest within the radius of the potion suddenly vanished, ceasing to exist, an the last man who remained did not remain long as the tree squashed him as a person steps on a bug. Her eyes wide, and filled with a measure of fear, turn to look on the approaching blond haired man. Her swords drop from her hands, the blades sticking into the soft earthy ground near her. "You...? Did you, do that?" This question was all she could muster for the moment.

 

[Lanolyt]

Lyte shrugged... "Yes, I did that. To save you. No offense, but you seemed to need saving, and I don't like unfair odds. I don't care who they were. That was wrong.

Now I need to get back home and lay up these herbs and mushrooms before they go bad. My name's Lyte of Kubota clan. If you want to come back and rest you are welcome, though I must warn you...I'm an alchemist, so all think me mad." He grinned at her.

"If you were really grateful, I'd ask to see what's under that kimono, but I expect a warrior like you would take offense. So if you are only a little grateful, there is a heal berry bush over there. Eat three of them for your wounds and pull the whole bush up carefully. If I can grow that at home, it will be wonderful." His eyes swept again across her fine form.

"I don't suppose you like chicken and rice with vegetables, because that's what I'm making for dinner."
He started to heft his load to return home.

Akane remained silent while the man spoke. She was amazed at the ability he had used. Some ninja did have special talents, some mystic arts and ninja spells, but few were ever as powerful as what this man had displayed. A light blush crosses her face as he mentions seeing what is under her kimono, which she is now wearing over the previously described bodysuit because the players say so. A dark kimono with some small blossom patterns on it. Luckily, her mask hides any sign of her blushing. As he finishes speaking she drops to her knees, then down on her face with her hands both flat on the ground, palms down in a low bow to him. "I am Akane of the Hyate clan ninja. You have indeed saved my life, and by my honor that life now belongs to you until my debt is repaid." She looks up at him and slowly sits up so she is kneeling. "I am your indebted servant, Kubota-sama."

She moves slowly to stand again, looking to the bush he pointed out. She winces as the pain of her wounds start to become more noticeable, particularly her ankle. She limps a bit over to the bush to pluck a few berries from it, and lowering her mask she eats them. Her lips look supple and soft, definitely womanly. Once done with the berries, she pulls her mask back into place and moves to carefully pull on the bush. She was a woman, but her training as a ninja kept her in very good shape, and as the pain in her body eased her strength returned, soon managing to pull the bush out with some effort.

It was not a terribly heavy plant, so she held it with ease as she turned to follow, for lack of any better terms, her new master.

 

[Lanolyt]

Lyte was grateful that the pleasant woman did not mock his alchemy burned mind, pretending to wear the kimono that his inattention had placed upon her in such an illusory fashion

Lyte paused to look at her a new. "An honor to meet you then, your clans honor in performance of duties is legendary. I will not shame you Akane, by expecting any less from you. I have no martial skills oher than the power my alchemy gives me.

Thus I set you a few tasks. Firstly, my safety, as long as it does not interfere with my research, you must protect me. Second, my comfort. I have gone with no servant for two long. Third, my research. I limit my work these days to effects upon the body, healing, youthfulness, changes. You shall serve as my tester, after I try it on a pet monkey....whom you shall care for as well. Finally, my pleasure. I am untutored in the ways of women. I studied far too much to be able to date and my parents died when our house was over-run. Accidentally. Somehow the name of the ninja clan escapes me at the moment. But I think you might know of them. So, any time I enter a room alone and smile at you, you will disrobe and kneel, out of deference to my sister who was stripped and raped.

If I frown at you, you will be punished, and you will appreciate your lesson. If I...well, we will leave the rest for later." He hurried along.

"When he return home, you will bathe yourself well, and make yourself presentable for inspection."

"When he return home, you will bathe yourself well, and make yourself presentable for inspection."

Akane listens to her new master as she follows him through the forest toward their destination. The first two demands seemed average enough, and doable for the ninja. The third sounded a bit strange, perhaps even risky given the potentially harmful nature of this man's power as she'd already witnessed. Regardless, she would do her best to comply and aid him however she could. Then came the fourth demand, a blush growing under her mask again. "Disrobe? Every time..?" Sure she had typical training in seducing men for information, or to get close so she could kill them... but this was entirely different, not on her own terms or for a job she could focus on. Not to mention she rarely ever had to go so far as to actually sleep with the men.

She sighs softly, wondering if sticking to her honor was the wisest thing to do this time. This one sounded as if he would indeed take full advantage of the situation, and of her. She nods slowly as tells her she is to bathe and make herself presentable when the reach home. "I understand..."

 

[Lanolyt]

Lyte smiled and led her to his lab. It was located over a half mile from any other building, made of two foot thick granite blocks, and had a huge iron clad door.

He unlocked two locks, a let her precede her into his study. Books of every kind lined the walls, along with strange items in jars, a few of them with something moving.

"Akane, do not touch ANYTHING in this room without asking. I'll usually say fine, but some items in here are deadly.

Now go wash up and then come back here in a robe. I want to carefully examine your body for fitness....and appearance. Then you can make me something to eat."

He went into his lab and began preparing for his next test.

 

[Ecchi Kunoichi]

Akane moves into the study with him, setting the bush down in an empty spot for him to do with as he pleased. She nods to him as she looks around, keeping her hands to herself.

She looks to him as he instructs her to go bathe and wear a robe after. What he said certainly made it sound as if she would be forced to expose herself to him rather quickly. "I.. do not know where your washroom, or robes are, Kubota-sama..." Did he expect her to simply wander and find it herself?

 

[Lanolyt]

Lyte was already thinking about a problem with a formula when she interrupted.

He frowned at her. "Lean over Akane!" He gave her five hard smacks on the ass with his hand.

"You must show some initiative. The house isn't that big! Go and locate things while I work I expect you back in about one hour. You have a lovely ass for a warrior. Let us hope is will not be getting too bruised in the future." His mood then changed abruptly and he softly patted her stinging rump.

"Why don't you look look around and see what all you can find. Get your bath, and make us a quick snack." Then he turned and was lost in his alchemy again. His concentration was amazing.

 

[Ecchi Kunoichi]

Akane blinks in confusion at the order. She does as told though, leaning down ad wondering what he was going to do. Then she felt the stinging slaps to her petite and toned backside, causing a slight wince. She sighs as she straightens up again, giving him a nod. "I apologize Kubota-sama.. I understand..."

As he returns to his work she starts to wander away and search the house. She wondered what she'd really gotten herself into. Spanking? Being ordered around, and those tasks he said he would use her for. She was beginning to feel a bi like a slave under his rule. Then again, a life debt essentially did make one a slave to their savior. She sighs softly as she continues looking around, inspecting rooms.

As she finally finds what seems to be the wash room she moves inside. She looks about finding some towels, and a robe. She slowly disrobes, stripping herself until she was completely naked and setting her clothes aside. She had several tattoos, a serpent pattern on her back, floral designs down her legs. She fills the tub with water and lights a fire beneath it to warm the water(unless there's some alchemical water warming at work). She climbs in and slowly begins to bathe herself, spending a few minutes to simply enjoy it. Once she is cleaned she steps out of the tub again and uses the towel to dry herself as much as she can. She pulls on the robe, tying the sash, and then heading out to find the kitchen.

After some wandering, she found the kitchen, and looks around. She did not have many particular skills in food and cooking. She could steam rice, or cook fish or chicken in a pan. She begins looking around to see what the kitchen is stocked with, if any of it is familiar, and if she can do anything with any of it...

 

[Lanolyt]

Fortunately, the kitchen was simply outfitted, and there was cheese in wax. Crackers, fruit. All that was needed for a simple quite repast.

Lyte consulted his waterclock...she was close to being late...well, ninja could be exacting... He'd wait and see. After all, the formula was ready.

"Akane. Attend me. I am waiting for that food...and for you. Is there a problem?"

He had everything laid out, but it depended on what her body was like under that robe.

 

[Ecchi Kunoichi]

She looks to see the cheese and crackers, reaching to pick up one of the crackers to try it. She nods, deciding it would be usable to make a snack, then looks at the cheese. She locates a knife, and with the precision of a ninja, which she was, slices the cheese to place them on top of the crackers. Spotting a tray, she arranges the crackers and cheese on it. She notices some apples, and takes one, slicing it up swiftly into perfect apple slices and arranges them on the tray as well. Ninja training actually came in handy in the kitchen it seemed.

She takes the tray and moves into the study again, presenting herself in the robe, and the tray with the snacks on it to her new master. "I hope this is acceptable, Kubota-sama. And that I meet your approval." Her dark hair was still down from bathing, rather than up in the tail she had it in when he first saw her. Her face was unmasked, wearing only the robe, though she did have some of her weapons strapped to the thighs beneath it. A ninja should never be entirely unarmed.

 

[Lanolyt]

Lyte looked at the water clock. she had thirty seconds to spare.

"Good." He at one of the crackers and nodded happily.

"Now, you must eat the rest of it while I explain." He smiled. "And this is a single reminder of what it means when I smile this way after you enter a room. Undress. Now! And that means everything. If may not be safe for you to have even a small shuriken."

He could see the embarrassment and frustration in her eyes. Good.

Once she was fully nude, he waved for her to continue eating. As she did, he slowly circled her, poking her arm to check her muscle, following a tattoo with his fingertip, hefting a single breast to judge the weight.

He waited in silence until the food had entirely disappeared, then he very carefully measured out a peacock blue formula. "You must swallow it smoothly. Spill none of it! Then we shall see how right I am. The effect should last roughly two hours, but I am betting that your warrior's training may finish it more quickly. I will be nice this time and tell you what it is.

This potion will be useful for prostitutes. It has come possible disguise value as well. Your body will change a little. After you drink, you may wish to kneel for balance."
