Disclaimer: Don't own Bishi-world idea or any franchise stories in here(anime,etc)
Notes: Sorry if this was a filler chapter for some of you. I wanted to try to have more development rather than catching a Bishi every chapter. So hopefully they end up being round characters rather than flat ones.
Chapter 2
Oh lord did she regret letting Kori take her shopping. She wasn't even a fan of it. Sure she liked new clothes, especially after she lost weight recently. But she hated the process she had to go through. It probably was a result from her previous size. Finding clothes that would fit her and her chest was freaking hard. Now it was slightly easier, but still embarrassing. And shopping with Kori was just embarrassing. The woman was a goddess and it didn't help she wasn't embarrassed with nudity. Unlike Amaranta, who blushed heavily when Kori stripped down her clothes. She just went completely commando without a care. Explaining to her that yes for other outfits underwear was necessary was frightening.
What was worse that that? Explaining to Kori she wasn't a fan of skirts and dresses. The woman completely blocked it out and proceeded to get her short dresses and skirts. Amaranta had to run at one point because of the revealing dresses she brought in. She just had to get the Bishi who was practically a fashionista. It was like travelling with Sarah. Be the underdressed of the group, which was her freaking role. Kori didn't come after her after the first three times. Amaranta guessed it was because she figured out that she wasn't as comfortable as her. Relishing the few minutes she had to herself Amaranta quickly browsed the aisles.
She made a few good finds. She found plenty of shorts, different colors and should be to her knees. She found tank tops and even some fancier tops for the times she felt up to it. Her favorite was her comfy clothes though. She found plenty of sweats and tee shirts. She even got two different dresses, much longer than the ones Kori picked and a lot less fancier. She stumbled into a dressing room, praying that Kori didn't realize where she went. Hm after this she needed new shoes. Amaranta sighed and quickly went through the clothes. She took the ones she liked and proceeded to look for Kori. It wasn't hard to find her either. She had a huge pile of clothes in her hands and Amaranta just sighed. There was no way she was going to refuse the woman anything. It was a good thing she didn't get expensive clothes.
The two purchases the clothes and Amaranta groaned as she was dragged into a shoe store. Total hell, by the time she got out of here she would be done for. If there was one thing that completely exhausted her it was clothes shopping. Shoes were the worst since she had big feet because of her height. She made her own purchases rather quickly. Sneakers, flats, and some sandals. Along with a pair of wedges that Kori made her get. Amaranta stretched as she finished shopping watching Kori try on her shoes. It seemed the woman liked thigh high boots the best, but didn't mid simpler shoes like flats. However sneakers seem to be against whatever fashion law she might follow.
Amaranta sighed and opened her map on her Dex. Well she had a choice between two premium items in the store, not willing to pay for one. Right now it seemed like the electronic map was the best idea she had. It updated with the world. It also had a little you are here icon on the screen. Amaranta was glad for that. She had a fear she would wonder too far and it would be like Dragon's Dogma. Wandering aimlessly might end up fatal for her.
With that in mind Amaranta looked at the surrounding territories. And proceeded to get into a fight with the Dex.
"I just want to know the surrounding areas!"
The Dex made a small beeping noise. " There are currently two territories surrounding Faircrest Town are the Elemental Nations (Commonly known as the combined Legend of Korra and Avatar: The Last Airbender shows. Yes odd pairings are very common, such as Iroh and Toph. Do not come here referencing parents or you might get killed) and Puella Magi Madoka Magica (This area is a code red warning level. Novices and even some experienced trainers should avoid this area sue to the Witches and the Wraiths. And we do not advise any experienced trainers without a priestess type to attempt entering this area.)
Amaranta gulped at that information. So this world wasn't as safe as she hoped. It makes sense, after all none of the inhabitants were perfect. Well that area if off limits for now. She wasn't going to take the risk of being a witch's victim. So the Avatar territory was the next choice. Hopefully Kori was okay with this or she would have to pick a new place. Actually she hoped Kori didn't have problems sharing her. The woman already seemed like the attached type. Which was another difference to the character Amaranta read about. The Starfire in Red Hood and the Outlaws seemed to care about people but not be too possessive. Maybe she was just assuming too much. Kori just might like hugging simply because she was adorable.
"Trainer of mine?"
Kori was standing in front of Amaranta. Dressed differently. She wore her armor under her clothes, well minus the legs and arm pieces. She was now wearing white short shorts and a simple purple cami with purple flip-flops. Amaranta smiled at Kori in response.
"I was just looking at the next territory we should visit. The closest one I wouldn't mind going to is Avatar…"
Kori smiled looping her arms around Amaranta's neck. She nuzzled into the girl's black hair humming to herself. She knew she wouldn't be alone with her trainer for long. Hopefully the next one wasn't annoying and took most of her trainer's attention.
"Well trainer of mine I think that sounds excellent."
"Kori you can call me by a nickname if you want. My name is kind of a mouthful and you don't have to call me trainer of mine all the time."
"Hmm perhaps I will but right now I think I shall stick with trainer of mine."
Amaranta blushed in reply. She understood what the woman meant, but it seemed so intimate to her. Almost like the woman was staking a claim. She shook her head, making Kori look at her curiously. There was no way that Kori liked her that much after only knowing her for a couple of hours. She was letting her imagination run wild. Maybe she would spend her night writing in a notebook. Clearly her mind needed to be active before she could think of more impossible situations. Not that Kori's beauty helped any…
"Trainer of mine, I suggest we stay at an inn tonight. It is getting dark and you had a long day."
Amaranta nodded in agreement and followed her Bishi out the store. She waved to the storeowner, wishing them a pleasant night. Amaranta caught up to Kori's strides, happy she was able to walk beside her again. The both of them carried bags in their arms. Though Amaranta's was a great deal less than Kori's. God knows how much money she had left in her account after this adventure. Amaranta hummed besides Kori. Today was pretty fun. She made new friends and met her first Bishi. It could have been worse. She could have had to hunt down her first Bishi like the old days.
Kori walked beside her trainer in content. This day went fantastically! The only thing that would make it better was one of those stores. Kori glanced around her making sure she didn't miss one. There! Kori grabbed her trainer's arm and flew to the spotted store. Amaranta made a small scream of surprise. Not expecting to be grabbed and flown to another store.
"Trainer of mine please allow me to go in this store! I need to make an order. You can wander for a bit if you like."
Amaranta nodded and watched her Bishi enter the store. She wanted her to wander? Meaning she did not desire her presence in this shop. Amaranta sighed until she noticed a Cold Stone. Her eyes shined and she ran inside. She looked at the flavors while she waited. She didn't know what she wanted! Maybe a red velvet ice cream with cookie dough, marshmallow, and rainbow sprinkles… Yeah! That's what she would get in a Love it size. Hopefully Kori would want some or she would eat it by herself. Amaranta sat in the shop confident that her Bishi would be able to find her. She ate bite after bite with a huge smile. Heh she might be ruining her appetite, but she didn't care. Hopefully Kori didn't mind room service.
Hm, Cold Stone reminded her of home. Going to the city with her friends. Teasing the twins when they didn't get anything in their ice cream. That should be a rule. You can't go to Cold Stone without putting a topping in the ice cream. Even if it was just sprinkles. Then again, maybe they were smart, with all the topping in hers she could never get Cold Stone often. It was like a treat once a month.
Amaranta, distracted by her thoughts, didn't notice Kori enter. Kori was happy because she was able to order more armor, just in case the one she had now got damaged. It would be there in two days, so hopefully her trainer wouldn't mind sticking around for a little while. Speaking of her trainer, she looked enthralled with her ice cream. Kori smiled at that. Her trainer was adorable. She wrapped her arms around the younger girl, giggling when the girl froze in her arms.
"So trainer of mine," Amaranta pouted she hoped Kori came up with a nickname soon, "If you don't mind I would like to stick around longer, I put in an order for some new battle armor."
Amaranta quickly told her that it was fine. What would she say no? Honestly it's hard for her not to do something for people. But now she did have to figure out how to past the time. "We'll check when we get to the inn."
Kori nodded, stealing the last of Amaranta's ice cream. Amaranta pouted at her and Kori merely giggled in response. Picking up her trainer, Kori flew to the nearest inn. Not caring about the name, Kori flew through the automatic doors. She landed softly on the carpeted floor, keeping her trainer close to her. She didn't like how the lobby was full of potential enemies. She glared at Bishies and trainer who got to close to the duo.
Amaranta, however, was completely unaware of Kori's actions. She was too busy glancing at all the Bishies. It was still a lot to process in her head. So she rode on a dragon and now had Kori as a companion, it would take a little while for her to realize this wasn't a dream!
The duo made it to the desk and quickly received a key. The lady didn't seem to be in the mood for idle talk. Which suited Amaranta just fine since she wanted to go upstairs and plan. The duo then proceeded to enter an elevator and go to the sixth floor. Kori was quick to find their room and Amaranta just dropped her stuff on the bed. She placed herself at the small table immediately, wanting to start planning right away.
Kori giggled at the girl's actions and went into the bathroom. She wanted to take a shower. She glanced at her trainer, deciding to leave her be. The girl looked so adorable with that serious expression on her face. Guess her trainer was a planner, rather than a spontaneous type. Kori hummed as she turned on the shower and began to bathe herself.
Amaranta glanced up at the sound of the bathroom door opening. Guess Kori found something to do while she did this. She was glad, hopefully the woman took a long time to take showers so she could get some planning done. Then the two of them could order some food and bond more. With that thought in her head Amaranta went back to her Dex. This thing was annoying. Okay so maybe she could attempt to adventure into the Madoka area. She opened the map again reading the alert again.
"Oh yeah the code red…"
Dear lord that must be a very avoided area. Or not, people tend to ignore warnings rather then heed them. Well she would be heeding it. She did not want to die for her pride. Especially since she just started her journey! So that left the Elemental Nations area, her original idea. She had two days so maybe Kori and her could find a couple Bishies rather than one. Then again she might end up with one. She pouted, how was she supposed to choose? There were so many perfect characters there. Well she could always return at some point.
"Trainer of mine have you made a decision?"
Amaranta jumped out of her chair in fear. She closed her eyes, preparing for the inevitable pain. But felt none; rather she felt two strong arms holding her to their chest. Her right hand had soft warm skin under it and she sighed in relief. So Kori had caught her. Amaranta opened her eyes and mouth to thank Kori when she noticed something. Kori was naked. Naked and a little wet from her shower. Amaranta felt her face flush red as she realized what her right hand was touching. Oh gods she was holding onto the woman's bare breast! Amaranta crawled out of Kori's arms, apologizing repeatedly.
"Trainer of mine? Why are you so distressed?"
"K-Kori! You are naked, you should have put some clothes on."
"Oh right, you humans are always so easily embarrassed by nudity. I do not understand why. But I will put on some nightwear if it makes you more comfortable."
Amaranta just nodded in agreement, staring at her toes so she didn't see anything. She listened to Kori opening her closet capsule. Oh that was embarrassing. At least Kori didn't take offense. She was too used to people being private with their nude skin. She could handle them in their underwear; it covered as much as bikinis. But naked? No she couldn't handle that. Not at all.
Amaranta walked to the bed and fell face forward into it. If this was going to be her new life, she better start preparing herself.
Note
Okay this took a while to get out. I'm sorry I have been having annoying computer problems. ANYWAY. Let me explain Starfire a little more.
Starfire's race the Tamaraneans are very open people. They like to touch and feel no shame in nudity. And when I say open, yes I mean open. It is not rare to see Starfire in earlier comics swimming naked, in fact her outfit shows just how comfortable she is in her skin. Their powers are also based off of emotions so it is rare to see one cold and unopen.
And yeah so this is it. I'm going to start the third chapter relatively soon, meaning today. Hopefully it won't take a month.
