To Love an Ushi-Oni (Camp & Wiki 234)

Snarling, the serpent woman struck, her arms grabbing to try to hold Mizu, while her agile tail looped to try to entangle her. Venom dripped from her long fangs.

"After I beat you, I'm going to eat your man! Bit by bit!"

Her arousal and anger were making her careless.
 
She kept jumping back and moving out of the way, deciding then to take it out into the open as she slipped out the window carrying back before finally meeting the other men outside. “ so anything happen then? Why don’t you just watch this then as she waited for him to get off before turning to wait for her now. “ let’s do it then...” covering her gauntlets in silk to make her back hands and punches even harder and having better shields than before.
 
Lu was getting frustrated. She starting pulling off razor edged scales and throwing them at the Spidergirl. "Just die already!"

Finally, she moved to grab Mizu, but wasn't watching the ground.
 
Crossing her arms the girl looked out as she fell out the window still waiting for the fight and deciding she would let her have the first move. “ well is that the only thing you can do? Your only good against men I bet...” joking as she laughed.
 
The ground was unstable! Webs and dirt mixed together! Lu rolled to the side, but in doing so had to expose hersoft underbelly. Blast it! She needed to fight smarter!
Her hand came up with a fistful of dirt to fling in the Ushi's face. Hah! Let her fight blinded.
 
The girl of course kept her distance mostly as she had her hands up to her sides, managing to er hit by the rough dirt as she shook her head and wiped it off her face quickly. “ jeez come on your gonna have to do more than that...he is a strange human though but...” she shrugged, “ with all the pain I still feel a bit of something for him...” putting her hands on her cheeks as she admitted that before making them into fists again. With that she held her hands over her head. And smashed the ground, uncovering a few rocks as she quickly started to spin webs to cover them up and make them heavier and harder before trying to throw them. “ wonder if I really need a damn work out...”
 
Blast it! Nothing worked on the spider bitch!

Some web coated rocks slammed into her...and stuck, weighing her down, so sh gave up subtlety and surged forward right into the Ushi, grabbing her arms. It was time to trade bites.

Her own teeth flashed out as her massive mouth gaped with and fastened on the Ushi's shoulder. Her paralytic venom shot into the wound. This was it, she was going to win!

A snapping sound surprised her, as did a pain in her side. The little human morsel was leaning in a doorway, and had just released a crossbow, sending a bolt into her. Hah! They'd have to do better than that. Then she noticed a tug and pain shot through her. The little bastard had tied webbing to the bolt and tied it to a floorbolt. Unless she ripped out her own guts, she was trapped!

Worse...she was now in the arms of an enraged Ushi Oni!


Tim had been disturbed from resting and trying to heal by the epic battle, Finally, he'd gotten his crutches, loaded the crossbow, taken a spidersilk rope to tie to it and gone to see how the battle was going. When he got close, he tied the other end to an old four inch thick steel bolt imbedded in the floor. It wasn't until his love got bit that he did anything.
His shaky legs and broken ankle hardly holding him, he called over to Mizuki. "We're a team. Always."
 
The girl started to laugh when the rocks hit, which oddly made her more excited to see the hardness of a rock hitting the soft and fast moving body of someone like her. As she moved closer she turned and drove her hulking arm toward her for a steel punch but moving too late as she already used her speed to move around her and even land a hit as she cried out in pain, collapsing to her knees as her breaths began to become heavy. Soon she heard the arrow looking over at him with wide eyes, with all that pain and all the fighting and all the threats he had another side that didn’t seem to give up on her, but she even had to ask now if those threats were just to force her to change or were the suddenly all real. With all the strength left she grabbed the girls neck and decided to use her own venom before quickly slamming her down in front of her and giving a hard punch to her stomach with the metal gauntlee before beginning to lose her balance and finally collapse.
 
Trapped, and unable to pull away, Lu was unable also to avoid the arachnogirl's bite. She screamed in frustration and then was born to the floor as the spider girl came down.

She could feel the venom running through her veins, but what would it do?

Tim saw Mizu collapse and tried to take a step towards her, but his ankle gave out. In any case, the snakewoman was down and unable to fight. He crawled forward to whisper. "Mizu...please be OK. It's done...the Assassins had their third attempt. I'm safe from them, but never from you. Can you move darling? I can't lift you."
 
The girl was of course out from the venom as she just laid there with the bite, there wasn’t even anything she could do even if she could look at him. The two monsters were strong but even just one attack had already taken both of them down.
 
Tim yelled for his guards and soon they were working to get Mizu off of the Serpent girl.

He had them get spring iron wire to wrap the Naga, so that if she pushed and tried to move, she'd slice herself up. He knew what she'd been planning and had her fangs pulled knowing she'd grow new ones.

Once Mizu was pulled back into a side room,he personally cleaned her all over. Carefully removing her clothes to give her a very professional sponge bath. He dressed what wounds she had and wrapped her in blankets to protect her privacy.

The Assassin's guild sent a very polite member out who asked what he intended to do with Lu, and did he want a free hit at the Camerons. His reply was to have the Camerons send someone to talk, and that the Naga was Mizu's to decide her future.

when the Camerons sent the eldest son to negotiate. Tim got an agreement that they would sell anything to him for 50% off for the next five years. It was not obviously vengeful, except it meant that if they didn't behave, he could price them out of the market with their own goods.

He waited for Mizu to regain her movement and then served tea to her to show his appreciation. "You never gave up...on me."
 
Eventually she did manage to wake from her stuff state as she slowly looked around a bit confused of course by everything around her. She still felt a bit numb on her arm so it was awkward to move it. As she turned with blurry vision to see him and hearing his words. " you don't see it but I do..." she started softly. " I do see it...." as she closed her eyes seeming to slip out of consciousness again for a moment.
 
Her words confused him...so what else was new? But he was just happy they'd survived and could work to get on with their lives. He was immune to any contract against him for 10 years. The estate was starting to get back together.

Now if his dumb ankle would heal and Mizu would admit that she wanted him as a real husband...maybe miracles could happen.

It took some work, but the books were balanced and had a surplus. So he approached Mizu. "Hun, we need some rest time, but when we are well again, I have a little kind of dangerous but profitable idea. On the Southern part of the estate is a mausoleum that's been sealed for 200 years. It holds a gem that can greatly increase growth on an estate. I've studied it, because other people have misused it and ruined the farm.
It is guarded by some undead, and only one of this household or someone who holds their hand can enter. What do you think?"
 
" seems more like your ancestors or your old family had hidden that away for a purpose, maybe your grandfather or something. Probably the undead could be your descendent buried and the gem would have revived them or something like that...." wondering about the idea. " so it has the power of growth? It would be a nature element gem then, I guess it would be good for things like for the winter or something...." she sighed putting an arm over her stomach thinking. " I don't want to rely too much on it though...I think I'm curious to check it out then...maybe bring the others as well since I don't think I can really right well..."
 
Tim chuckled at her comments. "you silly. I said in a couple of weeks. I'm in not condition at the moment and neither are you. But if you have the energy, I'd really love a kiss from my woman to celebrate her amazing victory."

He looked away for a moment. "I'd love to do more, but I think that for that I'll have to be in tip top form. On the other hand, while you're resting, if you want me to heal quickly and be well rested, Maybe my promised mate will cuddle me close to her and keep me warm and feeling protected."
 
" still trying to do that...and that doesn't even make sense..." finding the phrasing weird as she laid her hands on her lap in front of her. "Again that doesn't make sense..." hearing him say that she needed his protection but of course knowing it wasn't literally but still bothering her a bit. " if your gonna stay here then don't ask anything for me to do...." not wanting to move at all from the pain still in her arm but leaning over to even give him a small kiss on the cheek.
 
He growled at her words and when she kissed his cheek, he turned his head to kiss her lips.
"Un uh. Mizu, Either we are a couple and working on this, or not. People who are honest and care about each other kiss. So are you dishonest today? What is so darn awful about kissing me?

Or is this your way of letting me know that now that the danger is past, and you don't have to be so protective of me, that you do not love me, and you want to be free of me.

You can have one or the other, but I'll be damned if I settle for the middle. Now kiss me, or tell me to go away. If you don't do either, I guess I will have to accept that we aren't meant for each other."
 
" well maybe stop being so damn forward about it! I know you'll have to anyway sometimes but that the only thing you be been doing right now? Fine ill give you that one for damn saving me, but right you should focus and worry about them making another attack. Being large I would think they would ask help from others as big as them...I want to love....sure but I don't want you to force yourself to do things just for me to say I like you. You tried to sell the mansion or run just because you didn't like the answer I gave you the first time. Tim please I'm begging you right now, don't push yourself like this to try and impress me, just be yourself and I will follow. Be the man that everyone wants you to be do it for me please....show me that and I'll give you all the love you could ever want from me...." hoping he would understand instead of talking down to again like he did last time. With that she slowly pushed him off her so she could scoot a bit and lay her head on his chest as she laid an arm on his stomach hoping that he would know that she was as serious as ever for him to grant her that wish. " once I can get better since my injury isn't bad then I'll maybe try to see if that leader can teach me to cook or something so that when your better I'll maybe have all the skills I need...I won't push you away to hard anymore and I'll make a better effort of it..." sliding on him as she pushed her chest against his waiting for an answer.
