Nature versus nurture. It was an odd phenomenon. Maybe one Leo would understand, but strange nonetheless. The two princesses inevitably had been kidnapped and stowed away from their true families. In the thick of night, when Nohr concocted a plan to steal the blossoming Kamui, Hoshido retaliated by capturing the lovely water princess, Azura. Though this was a grave felony, the queen of Hoshido treated Azura like one of her own. Azura never felt like she was a victim. She felt at home, though she never really knew any different. Hoshido was her home in a sort of way. What really ate at her though, was what would have happened if this whole ordeal had never happened. Would she still be the same person, acting the same way?
The water princess sighed, shaking her head. Would she be standing across from the other victim had this whole conflict never arised? Standing a few feet away was a young woman about her age with long, silvery white tresses and piercing red eyes.
Eyes that were glaring back at her, expecting her to make a move.
Azura nearly panicked as the Hoshidan born princess slowly began to approach her. Her throat tightened and her eyes felt as if they were going to roll into the back of her head. Amongst all this panic, the one thing Azura picked up on was the other girl's lack of shoes. She herself wasn't a particular fan of fabric restraining her feet, either. She felt light and free travelling barefoot.
"I'm Kamui! Are you Azura, the water princess?" It took a while to register the fact that somebody was talking to her. Azura jumped, letting out the slightest scream. She could only glance down as the other girl reached out and shook her hand.
When Kamui let go of her hand, Azura exhaled loudly, mentally recomposing herself. "Hello, Kamui. I am Azura. It's...it's nice to meet you after all the years that have gone by."
"Likewise," Kamui replied with a smile, though her complexion seemed to be shrouded in sorrow. It was then that Azura really began to feel remorseful. She pitied the girl standing across from her, smiling valiantly with the slightest hint of despair. She had always been good at seeing through those kinds of facades.
"A legacy of lies, a familiar disguise…"
"Are you upset with me?" Azura inquired quietly. Though her voice was tiny, she gazed into Kamui's eyes as dead set as possible. "I can see through your lies, Kamui. Be honest with me."
Kamui reached out, embracing the frail girl. She nuzzled her chin into the crook of her neck and whispered ever so softly, "why would I be? How is any of this your fault?"
"I stole all your love," Azura confessed timidly. "Your Nohrian parents...they were cruel, weren't they?"
A few moments passed by and still Kamui decided to cling tight to the water princess. She couldn't be mad at her then, could she?
"Kamui?"
"Mmhm?"
"You look so very sad."
"It's fine."
Azura returned the Hoshidan princess's embrace. Her fingertips disheveled the fabric of her clothing. She needs me. This girl needs me. If she has anybody to be mad at, it's me. Mikoto's love should have all been poured onto her. Not me.
"Azura?"
"Yes, Kamui?"
"You smell like the ocean's grey waves."
Taken aback, Azura practically flew backwards out of Kamui's warm embrace. "How do you know about the ocean's grey waves?"
"I could never fall asleep because of all the fighting in the castle as a child. I made up a song and hummed it to myself before going to sleep every night. I think it came to me in a dream."
"That is the forbidden song, Kamui!" Azura gasped, cupping her mouth. "How in the world could you know it?"
"I just explained that."
"Well what was in your dream?"
Kamui hesitated before speaking. "...you."
Azura's eyes widened, shying away from the other princess. "Me? In your dreams? Kamui, you must be mistaken. We haven't met until now."
"Maybe not in the flesh, but I've seen you before. You spoke to me and sang songs of the waves. They would inspire me because I wasn't allowed to leave the Nohrian castle. I wanted to seek life beyond the shore."
"Then what is your decision, Kamui?" Azura asked, running her nimble fingers through Kamui's long silvery hair.
"My decision?"
"You're old enough to think and act on your own. Will you stay in Hoshido, or go back to Nohr?"
This bewildered Kamui. She never really had the opportunity to make a decision before. It was constantly following orders, doing this, and doing that. She exhaled loudly, filled with newfound life. "I'll stay here in Hoshido. With you. With my siblings." Kamui felt confident after making her decision, though she dreaded one other miniscule issue. "Will you stay, or go back to your homeland?"
"Aie! Kamui, I will stay. You don't have to grip me so tightly!" Azura protested.
Kamui eased her grip, flushing red at hearing of causing the water princess pain. She was also relieved. She would stay. The water princess would stay. "You feel just like her," she admitted, pressing her body closer to Azura's.
"Like who?" Azura questioned. Kamui seemed to have a bit of a childish side to her. Her ideals were big, though. She had ambition. And an imagination.
"The water princess from my dreams. She would hug me from time to time, telling me that I would be able to escape the castle soon enough and find her. Then we could be happy together."
"She said that?" Azura inquired cautiously. She wasn't even sure if she took Kamui's words for truth. This was borderline madness! Still though, she had to wonder… "Kamui, do you love this water princess of yours?"
"Of course I do! And I finally found her." She would be damned if she'd let the water princess go now. Kamui nuzzled her cheek into the water princess's cheek, smiling happy. It had been so long, but the water princess had led her in the right direction. It was almost unbelievable.
But it was indeed real.
"C'mon!" Kamui urged, taking Azura's hand and dragged her along. "There's too much to talk about!"
Stumbling along, Azura ventured off, travelling in Kamui's wake. This water princess….this object of speculation of hers, was indeed herself. But how? How could she dream of someone she had yet to meet? It was bizarre, yet enthralling all at the same time. A miserable child with a world full of imagination. Kamui was a special child and an even more mysterious woman. What other things did she know? Azura would have to ask her to find out.
"Is something wrong, Azura?" Kamui questioned, pursing her lips curiously. The two sat late at night with their feet by the water of the river. Azura's skin seemed to glow under the moonlight. This fascinated Kamui immensely. Time and time again, the water princess only seemed to grow more and more enchanting. She had kept her promise. Now they could live happily at last.
Azura took bits and pieces of the rough earth and grounded them up between her fingers. She felt nervous, but did she have any reason to be? Kamui was so warm and kind, despite her past. Even now, Azura was wearing one of Kamui's armor pieces to keep her warm. Smiling to herself, Azura let her gaze fall back onto Kamui. Now I look like a real Hoshidan princess…
"Well," Azura began sheepishly. "You seem to know so much about me, but I know nothing about you. Could you tell me about yourself?"
Reaching out, Kamui gripped Azura's arm, frowning. "You're tense," she admonished, nuzzling her way into the water princess's warmth. "Relax a little. We didn't come all this way for nothing."
Azura nodded. She had to agree with Kamui there. The war was finally over, yet they were just meeting. It didn't really feel fair. They could've met under normal circumstances living normal lives, but that was not the way it went at all. Why does the world have to be so violent and cruel? Why won't anyone listen to reason?
The strength of another seemed to help eradicate some of the worries swirling around in Azura's mind. Kamui was strong. It was apparent in her touch, her voice, even her very soul. She never let anything get the best of her. Azura was learning all this about the Hoshidan princess just by being in her presence. If only she had half the strength Kamui had, maybe she could've been a bigger help during the war. Maybe she could've been a better friend and comrade to those who sought out her support. Maybe, just maybe. There was no need to dwell upon the past, but it was something Azura couldn't stop herself from doing.
"I didn't answer your question," Kamui chimed in, slicing through Azura's thoughts. Her exuberant outburst startled Azura, nearly making her jump right out of her skin.
"I'm sorry," Kamui muttered, bowing with shame. The water princess just made her so happy. Now that they had been reunited, there was nothing in the world that could tear them apart. But how could she show that without frightening the girl out of her wits?
"I was raised in Nohr at the hands of king Garon as you may already know," Kamui continued, grateful that Azura was gazing at her with apologetic eyes. "We weren't allowed to leave the castle often, and we were punished for doing so."
Azura nodded, urging Kamui to continue on. "Our father was a cruel man. There was once a time when he would sit down and enjoy his time with his children, but those days disappeared when I was still very young. None of us really had a motherly figure in our lives. "
This was just as Azura expected. It was hard to see how a neglected child such as Kamui had become this woman so full of life. How was it so? Nonetheless, Azura was happy for her. Kamui deserved to be happy, especially after being on her own for all those years. The thought of company must overjoy her.
"But one day," Kamui spoke, raising her voice. The story was going to take a pleasant turn. "When Xander and Father were fighting yet again, I curled up in my sheets and prayed for somebody. I prayed for a companion to give me the strength I lacked." Kamui took a deep breath, reminiscing over her story as she told it. "Do you know what happened then?"
With a smile, Azura shook her head. Of course she did, but this was Kamui's story and she wouldn't want to ruin her fun.
"Every night in my dreams, the water princess would come to me. There wasn't a single night where she left me alone to hear the fighting and the crying. She would whisper to me, sing songs, graze my cheek and tell me to be strong, for a new day was on its way."
Azura was stunned. This water princess Kamui was describing really sounded like a person that resembled herself. Maybe Kamui wasn't mistaken. The situation could be assessed once Kamui finished her story, wholly and completely.
"I knew that she was real. I knew it," Kamui said with determination and resolve. "Although I was a child and this seemingly mysterious princess was thought to be an illusion, I knew she was real. I knew that someday we would meet so that I could fulfill my vow."
"Vow?" Azura whispered.
"I vowed since the day she came to me that I would give her my love in return for the kindness and companionship she bestowed upon me." Abruptly, Kamui took a loving hold of Azura's hand and peered up at her with determined, wide eyes. "I am offering my love to you, water princess Azura. Will you take it?"
Azura's mind raced, yet her heartstrings were on cloud nine. To be confessed to at such a silent, tranquil place was a nice touch. Speaking of touches, Kamui still held Azura's hand, brushing her thumb over her gloved knuckles. Azura's cheeks burned bright, but she wasn't afraid to let it show. She had to be dauntless, just like the woman sitting by her side. "Yes, Kamui," she said, looking her in the eye. "I will be yours. I'll always be there for you. No matter what, you must promise me that you'll stay strong."
"I will, Azura! I will!" Kamui hollered, bursting into a fit of joyous laughter. She flung her arms around Azura, nearly tackling her to the ground. "Sorry," Kamui mumbled, looking up at her with a bashful smile.
"It's okay," Azura replied, returning her smile. She felt herself flush red as she leaned in to press her lips to Kamui's, closing her eyes until they parted lips.
Kamui was lost. Just lost. Completely dumbstruck as she stared into the horizon like a mindless brigande. The radiant, elegant, compassionate water princess just kissed her. Her. To think that the water princess would've even considered accepting her love was...unimaginable. But she did. It was real.
And she just didn't want this feeling to end at all.
Raising toward the heavens, Azura stood, grasping Kamui's hand. "C'mon, let's get some sleep."
Kamui didn't have any objections. In fact, she did feel pretty tired. The whole day was long, yet exciting and unthinkable. In the thick of night, the two started towards the Hoshidan castle. A distant, echoing melody wafted throughout the silent night.
"Stay strong, for another day is on its way"
"If you're ever frightened, I'm always there to stay"
"Don't worry, we'll find our way through it all together"
"You are free to soar just like a lonesome feather"
When dawn's rays began to peek through the stained glass window panes, Kamui woke with a start, shucking off the sheets that concealed her nearly naked form. Having the water princess at her side lying beneath her startled Kamui. She wasn't yet accustomed to this reality. The water princess had accepted her love.
When Kamui shifted, she accidentally clipped Azura in the cheek with her toe. The water princess awoke at once, leaping out of bed. She was surprised to find Kamui in next to nothing.
"Do you always sleep in the raw?" Azura questioned somberly. Though she wore a white dress and white panties and had the most rounded, golden innocent eyes, it was apparent in her voice that today she felt a little mischievous.
Kamui nodded, fazed by the bluntness of her lover's comment. After contemplating, she'd realized that it was understandable. The water princess was always so formal, so prim, proper, and respectful. If only for once, Kamui would enjoy getting her to loosen up a bit….
"Ahhhhn!" Azura squealed, being grasped so tenderly yet roughly by the confident and dauntless Kamui. Was Kamui always this passionate?
Like a fragile newborn baby, Kamui scooped Azura into her arms and laid her down upon the mattress. She curled up onto her side, giving in to the pleasures that Kamui was giving her. "Be gentle," Azura pleaded, gazing up at Kamui with large eyes.
"I would never want to see you hurt." Kamui grinned earnestly, meaning every word she said. With two fingers, she pinched Azura's veil like dress and proceeded to slowly peel it off her slender body. Azura whimpered and moaned, shuddering at every touch. Chaste nibbles were planted on her cheekbone down to her neck, down to her collarbone where Azura grew plump and rich. A ripe young woman she was indeed. Kamui curious to find out.
"K-Kamui!" Azura squeaked, utterly mortified as she was grazed gently from head to toe.
"Yes, my princess?" she asked innocently with a wide smile and the slightest hint of fangs peeking through her gums. "I promise I'll be nice. I could never be harsh. Not after all you've done for me." At this, Kamui continued placing kisses throughout Azura's bare body, making the Dancer shudder and moan softly.
"Look at me, my princess," Kamui requested, tipping the Dancer's chin to look her in the eye. Kamui maneuvered atop the Dancer wholly, fingers poised just under her chin, eyes connected fiercely with the princess she loved with every fibre of her body.
"Would you like to undress me?" Kamui added with a slight smile, lying upon the Dancer. She frowned when Azura said nothing, only lying there struggling for words. Kamui added, "are you alright, princess?
We don't have to do this if you don't want to."
"No!" Azura gasped, replying instantly. "Well, I guess I'm just a bit nervous is all…" Azura took a deep breath and exhaled at once, never taking her gaze off her lover. Using her nimble fingers, she pulled and probed at Kamui's Hoshidan garb, biting gently into the crook of Kamui's neck once she managed to expose it. Though her mind raced, she suckled and bit with a fierce kind of passion and longing, closing her eyes whilst she tasted the soft exterior of her lover. She was happy to know that Kamui was enjoying it, putting her own handiwork on hiatus as she leaned into the biting sensation.
"Azura…" Kamui's breath hitched as lewd noises began emitting from Azura while she feasted upon her tender neck.
Kamui, being the inquisitive, daring little demon she was, swiped a finger across her lover's womanhood. The tip of her finger was quickly coated with a slick layer of Azura's juices. Kamui laced her lover's arms around her neck, allowing them to dangle from her back, prompting her lover to embrace her. Kamui put her index and middle fingers together, probing at Azura's entrance. The water princess, from her kneeling position, tensed up in an instant, yelping at the way she was being touched.
"Are you okay?" Kamui cooed gently.
With her chin residing in the crook of Kamui's neck, Azura nodded. Her hair and cheek brushed up against Kamui as she clung tight to the dragon, for she feared that she'd collapse if she let go. "I'm...I'm fine."
Hearing this, Kamui gently lay her lover down back onto the mattress. She continued to fiddle with her womanhood as she gazed into her lover's eyes. "Your hair is so soft…" Kamui whispered, eyes practically sparkling with awe. Kamui reached out with her free hand to graze the silky blue strands of Azura's hair, twirling the locks of hair between her fingers.
As all of this was happening, Azura blushed wildly. Every attempt was a failure as she tried to silence her desire filled screams, which in turn had her cheeks redder than a ripe, red tomato. She moaned as Kamui's agile fingers slipped into her again, probing at her sensitive walls. The agony associated soon dissipated as she soon quite literally ached for Kamui's touch. "K-Kamui! It feels...heavenly…" she sighed as Kamui found her sweet spot, locking her lips with her own at once.
"Mmph!" Azura squealed. Every second was a surprise when it came to Kamui. Her kiss wasn't rough neither gentle. What it did do, however, was reduce her to squeaks and sighs as Kamui thrusted her fingers deeper and deeper into her soft, pink abyss. Kamui was finally merciful enough to allow her to breathe once again, reluctantly prying her lips away.
Kamui still remained close, letting out a little "hee hee!" as Azura exhaled again, eyes practically rolling into the back of her head. "I'm glad I can make you happy like this, my princess…" Kamui whispered, filled with unadulterated joy.
Azura merely locked eyes with her lover, almost pouting as each moan wracked her body. Her cries of ecstasy were soon coming one after another as she felt herself tighten around Kamui's devilish fingers. "Ahhgn….haaaannmm….a-ahhhh-A!" Tears brimmed in her eyes as she felt her climax form fast. Ripples of pleasure formed in her abdomen, trailing down to the softness of her sensitive walls. A layer of sweat quickly built upon her naked form as she breathed in and out at an alarming rate. Kamui pinched the inside of her womanhood, and she let out the biggest scream in her life. "Kamuiiiiiiiii!" she hollered, climaxing all over the dragon's fingers. Her back arched and every muscle in her body seemed to spasm and twitch with every trace of bliss.
When Azura's orgasm finally subsided, she simply laid there, lost for words. It still didn't feel fair that Kamui had gotten nothing out of this, so Azura would abate this. She took a firm hold of Kamui's shoulders and set her down upon the pillow. The dragon was confused and surprised. "P-princess, what are you doing? I'm supposed to love you!" Kamui stuttered.
"Why can't I love you?" the water princess replied with haste.
For this, Kamui didn't have an objection. She wanted the water princess to love her in return. So Kamui laid there as Azura peeled the remains of her Hoshidan garb away, taking extra care to enjoy removing the bra that detained her perky breasts and laced, silky underwear (which was already sopping wet, likely from fondling her earlier).
But Kamui was brave and Kamui was dauntless. She showed little to no reaction as she lay fully exposed for the touching right underneath Azura. It seemed as if Kamui took good care of herself down there too. Her cunt was shaved daintily.
Azura got to work at once, gently taking hold of Kamui's long legs and spreading them apart. She slipped her tongue into the moist cavern of her lover and licked at the entrance, venturing further.
"P-princess Azura!" she moaned with half-lidded eyes. Kamui's womanhood began throbbing and tingling as the princess's wet tongue slipped and sucked, creating the most bizarre yet arousing sounds.
Kamui was losing her mind. She was glad that she only assumed dragon form if she was absolutely outraged. She was merely being overwhelmed with too much pleasure all at once, and for that, would stay in human form.
"Yes, Kamui?" Azura asked, resurfacing from the lush lips of Kamui's entrance with grave concern. "Oh my," she gasped. "You're panting like a puppy."
Indeed she was. Kamui's arms lay folded atop her face, mainly covering her eyes as her chest heaved up and down. A bashful look crept upon her features, though she tried to hide it. She knew the water princess was much too witty to see through such a facade, however.
It was one of the many things Kamui loved about her. Nothing could be kept a secret. She wouldn't dare lie to her lover anyway. She didn't deserve it. Not after being her faithful companion for all those years in solitude.
Kamui sat up, pulling Azura into a forceful hug. Her lover laid upon her chest as silky blue strands of hair now covered her breasts and the navel of her stomach. Kamui ran the tips of her fingers through her lover's hair, never wanting to let her go.
"Close your eyes," Azura whispered, and took a hold of Kamui's limp hand. "I will sing to you. Never will we be apart again, my love." The pair drifted off to sleep as the gentle rain danced along the rooftop of Kamui's quarters.
