Author's Note: Oh my chapter 2 was sickeningly sweet! I can't believe I wrote that! xD Now my readers, it's time for this story to move onwards into the garden of sin...

Chapter. 3 Temptation

Teresa climbed out of the cozy hot spring and dried off the tired girl's wet body. Life on the run would not be easy for these two but Teresa would do the best she could to provide for Clare. Not matter what situations they may face in the future they will definitely face them together. For the better or for the worst.

A fire was built out of the firewood collected and burned slowly at first but quickly picked up intensity. Clare stirred in her sleep and woke-up seeing the brightly burning fire and the smell of cooking flesh. Clare's stomach growled as she looked at the tasty meal being cooked over the fire.

"I don't really have any seasoning with me except for salt, so that will have to do for now. At the next town we arrive at you can pick up some herbs and spices."

Clare nodded in agreement and was wondering what other supplies they could buy at the next town. Clare felt something tough and leathery against her skin and when she looked down she saw a deer hide covering up her naked body.

"Did you make this Teresa?" Clare asked...

"Can't have you freezing to death out here now can we?"

Clare smiled at her concern and was happy to have Teresa as her guardian. The deer leg was done roasting over the fire and Teresa sliced off a piece for Clare and a piece for herself. Clare scarfed down the piece that was handed to her in seconds and wanted more as her held out her hands.

"My goodness, I didn't even get to finish my half and your done with yours already?" chuckled Teresa.

She sliced off another piece of meat and warned Clare to not eat too fast or she'll choke on her food.

When Clare had her hunger satisfied, she laid back down on the bamboo place mat and stared at the flames of the flickering fire as Teresa spent some time polishing her sword. Teresa stared at the reflection off the sword to see if any stray smudges where left behind.

"Warriors place such pride in their swords but in the end these very swords become our gravestones."

Teresa put her sword aside and decided to get some rest and to put off anymore morbid thoughts.

"Teresa..." Clare called out to her in a quiet voice. "Hm?" Teresa lifted her head in response.

Clare lifted her arm with the deer hide providing a space for Teresa lie down.

"Can you sleep with me?" Clare asked politely. Teresa frowned and said in response,

"Isn't the fire keeping your warm enough?" Clare pouted at Teresa's facial expression.

"Pleeeease?" she pleaded. "Hm..I don't know..." Teresa looked the other way as she smirked trying to

coax another response out her. "Pleeeeeeeeeeease?" Clare pleaded again for a second time.

"Ok... just this once." Teresa stripped of her tight body suit and slipped under the warm deer skin next to her young companion. Clare snuggled up close to her guardian and as she let out a comfortable sigh.

"Are you happy now?" Clare nodded. "I missed the warm feeling of laying next to someone."

Teresa thought of all the nights Clare must have spent alone when she was held captive by that youma.

She wrapped her right arm around Clare as she stroked her shoulder to comfort the girl. She too has spent lonely nights with nothing other than the wilderness and the sword at her back when she slept. However this was a slight change in pace and felt more like what a human would feel like. She had no objections to this kinda of feeling, the feeling of sleeping next to the one you love.

Teresa's sliver irises glowed in the night as she kept a watchful eye out for youma and predators. Her attention turned back to Clare's sleeping face as she brushed a stray bang across her forehead. Both of them where nude under the thick deer skin as they kept each other warm with only their body heat. The peaceful, calm sea was starting to develop rippling waves again.

Teresa moved her left hand under neath the deer skin as she stroked Clare's inner thigh. Slowly, she would trail her fingers up and down the smooth flesh, feeling how soft and delicate the girl's legs were. It was a rather addictive feeling, the smooth touch of another against her fingers, this was an experience that was entirely new to her. So addictive...so very addictive...Clare murmured incoherently as she felt something ticklish between her thighs.

What is that touching my leg?

Clare noticed that it was stroking her thighs slowing and moving closer to her center. Clare suddenly flushed as she realized who was touching her. Her heart began to pound as she felt the tip of Teresa's thumb brush up against her pubic region. It felt feathery to the touch as Teresa lightly brushed over Clare's womanhood. She then noticed a slight shudder from Clare as she was caught in her deviant activities.

"Teresa..." Clare breathed slowly as she looked at her guardian with glossy green eyes.

Teresa removed her hand immediately from Clare's thighs and apologized.

"I'm sorry did I wake you Clare?" Teresa was worried as to what the girl's reaction would be.

"A little bit... why was your hand down there?" Clare's face was still flushed from Teresa's petting. Teresa thought of a quick lie to avoid any more awkward questioning or suspicion. I was just checking your body temperature to see if you were warm enough down there.

"Oh ok..." Clare responded in a quiet voice.

She was a little disappointed though when Teresa stopped "checking" her body temperature. She felt all warm and tingly inside while Teresa was "checking" and had never felt a sensation like that in her all young life. On the other hand Teresa felt extreme remorse as to what she had just did. She lied to Clare to escape from the confusing situation, what the hell was happening to her?

"I have to go use the bathroom real quick..." Teresa quickly got up from underneath the deer skin and started to walk a few feet away from the camp.

"Teresa!" Clare was anxious as to whether she'd see Teresa again or perhaps another monster.

"Don't worry I won't take too long." Teresa smiled in reassurance as she walked off into the distance stark naked. She relieved herself in a pile of snow as steam rose up from a now freshly formed puddle of urine. She then walked about half thirty feet down a trail that lead to a frozen solid lake. Her feet crunched beneath the snow feeling no cold or frostbite whatsoever. She placed one foot on top of the froze lake and then another until she was standing under the glow of the moon.

What am I doing? The girl trusts in me, I can't just take advantage of that!

Teresa fell to her hands and knees on the cold frozen land. Tears started to flow from her eyes as she pounded her hands on the ice.

"What good of a protector am I if corrupt Clare like that!" …. "I'm no better than a damn monster that

feeds off of blood and lust!"

She was confused as to what she was feeling towards Clare. Teresa loves Clare very much and will always want to protect her but there is this hideous side of her that wants to so desperately feel every inch of her young companions flesh. To hear her cry out in blissful throws of ecstasy, ...ecstasy that would be caused by her own hands. The thought frightened Teresa, as she felt herself giving into the delicious temptation.

"I've already committed murder with these hands...will more sins stain them completely black?"

"No!... I'll die by the blade of my own sword if I ever dared to touch Clare in that way again!"

Teresa felt her body become hot with shameful excitement. Her snow white skin now started to flush from head to toe as her mind writhed in erotic deliriums. She had never felt such excited before and it was incomparable to the excitement of facing an awakened being on the battlefield. No, ….this made her feel dirty with satisfaction and it made her feel absolute empowerment.

Burning with desire, Teresa fell forward on the icy lake and rolled over on her back. Her hands traveled down her chest and over her breasts as she massaged them with urgency. She felt her inner youki flaring up like fireworks. She had to put a firm hold it before it would drive her absolutely mad or worse; drive her over to the point of awakening.

"Ahh... my body feels like it's on fire!"

Teresa started to pant as her hot breath mingled with the cool air. She snaked her right hand down her flat stomach as she caressed the petals of her womanhood. Teresa felt her shameful passion drip on to the tips of her fingers making them glisten in the moonlight.

"Such an... irritating body... mmf.."

She pushes two fingers into her awaiting love canal and gave out a quick gasp. Teresa's breathing became more labored as she thoroughly stroked the most pleasurable spot within her. All that was in her mind now, was that she desperately needed to get back to Clare was before she would start to worry.

"Clare..." -pants- "Clare..." -pants- "In..." Teresa's body suddenly convulses letting wave after wave of euphoria wash over her. Her flaring youki quickly dies down and reverts to a normal flow easing her burdening anxiety. She hopes that youma or others warriors didn't pick up on her moment of ecstasy for a few seconds. Quickly Teresa composes herself and walks off the frozen lake taking special care in the positioning her footsteps. As she arrived back to the camp site Clare got up from the place mat and immediately hugged Teresa.

"You took too long...what were you doing?" Clare asked nervously...

"Oh wow your hugs are tight!" ...Teresa's womanhood was firmly pressed against Clare's smooth abdomen and gave off a rather titillating feeling. Shaking her head and pushing back those repulsive thoughts Teresa gently patted Clare's head.

"You worry too much Clare my dear...lets try to get some rest."

Teresa would sleep a restless night tormented by her thoughts...
