Draconis: Alright, everyone not named Kenshin, Sona or Sphinx take five.

Kenshin: Eh?

Sona: Wha?

Draconis: What? I said I was writing a side chapter dealing with Kenshin's recovery and your time together.

Dragon of the Elements Side Stories.

Chapter 4

Under the Desert Moon.

Draconis: Begin!

(Start)

A couple of days after Kenshin and Sona arrived at the pyramid, Kenshin awoke. "Hnngh..." Kenshin grunted.

"Aah, your fever finally broke." Sphinx said.

"Who are you...?" Kenshin asked.

"I am Sphinx, the guardian youkai of this desert." Sphinx said.

"Kenshin Tsuki Kuroshi, Vice Commander of the Revolution..." Kenshin said.

"..." Sphinx's eyes softened. "A Kuroshi...hm?"

"Yeah." Kenshin said. "I take it you know someone from my family?"

"You could say that." Sphinx said.

"..." Kenshin glanced around. "There was a girl with me, with violet eyes and bob cut, short black hair."

"Right, Sona-San asked if I could keep an eye on you while she went to take a bath. She has been nursing you since you two got here." Sphinx said. "She figured you were in good enough condition to be allowed to rest alone. She knows how to cleanse the water so I allowed it.

"I see." Kenshin said.

"The oasis she's at isn't too far from here if you wish to go and thank her." Sphinx said. "It was just not practical to get you water with while you had a fever."

"Was it really that serious?" Kenshin asked.

"For you, yes." Sphinx said, before explaining the downside to being a flame dragon youkai and having dangerously low youki levels.

"Holy shit...I never knew that." Kenshin said with a surprised look. "None of us did."

"Well your family has been gone and this has to be your first prolonged stay in Makai." Sphinx said.

"Still I wonder why Tamamo never mentioned it." Kenshin said as he stood up. "I feel fine now."

"As your youki levels restore, so does the overall health of your body." Sphinx said.

"Huh...I see..." Kenshin said. "Well I don't think I should bother her while she's bathing."

"Well as long as you're here, I wish to ask you something." Sphinx said.

"What is it?" Kenshin asked.

"What has four legs when it's born, two legs in adulthood and three legs in old age?" Sphinx asked.

"...Man." Kenshin drawled. "Really that's like the easiest riddle in the book."

"What differentiates the King from his Knight?" Sphinx asked.

"In what context?" Kenshin asked. "I assume you don't want a run of the mill answer."

"You assume correctly, Say there are two men of equal strength and power, but one ultimately becomes the King, while his Knight follows him faithfully." Sphinx said.

"Ah." Kenshin nodded. "Then it'd be instinct."

"Instinct, are you sure?" Sphinx asked.

"Yeah, the one who ultimately became King would have just wanted it more." Kenshin said. "He had the intangible instinct for it."

"Ah, good good." Sphinx nodded. "Now, how many seconds are there in a year?"

"..." Kenshin went into thought. "How many seconds...hmn...wait...she's been spitting riddles at me so..."

"Well?" Sphinx asked.

"Twelve. A second for every second of the month." Kenshin said.

"Good answer." Sphinx said. "You are now worthy to receive the Dragon's Seal."

"The what?" Kenshin asked.

"The Dragon's Seal. It's a seal that allows you to lessen your lifespan or lengthen it to the one you love." Sphinx said.

"..." Kenshin shook his head. "Thanks, but no thanks."

"Hm?" Sphinx said. "Why?"

"I'll explain later." Kenshin said laying back down.

Tomorrow Afternoon.

Sona walked into the main chamber of the Pyramid where Kenshin and Sphinx were standing. Both looking at the Tsurugi no Kami. "What's going on?" Sona asked.

"Oh, Sona." Kenshin said turning toward her. "Sphinx and I were more or less kibitzing about what to do with the Tsurugi no Kami here."

"I would suggest you use it against it Forbesii." Sphinx said.

"Well I don't know how to use it really, plus it gives Forbesii an opportunity to rip it back from me." Kenshin said.

"Then why don't we hide it?" Sona asked.

"...Well that's an idea..." Sphinx said.

"Hmn..." Kenshin stroked his chin in thought.

"If you like I could warp you to the beach off to the west and you can dispose of it there." Sphinx said.

"We'd have to tie it to something heavy and non buoyant." Sona said.

"Hmn, I should be able to take care of that." Kenshin said.

"OK, then let's go now." Sphinx said.

The three of them teleported out of the Pyramid and appeared at a beach. "Hm..." Kenshin looked around.

"..." Kenshin took out several charms and arranged them in a circle. He went through handsigns and interlocked his hands. "Daichi Guntou! Upheaval!"

"Hm?" Sphinx felt the earth quaking under her feet.

"..." Sona watched the sands shift until a huge stone sphere was pulled out.

"Haa!" Kenshin panted.

"Easy, you're still recovering." Sphinx said. "Your earth magic external use could use some work."

"Tell me something I don't know." Kenshin said taking out the Tsurugi no Kami. He pinned the blade to the sphere and took out a black charm. "Shadow Bind!"

Several black strands of magic connected to the Tsurugi no Kami and tied it to the stone. "OK...now for the hard part." Kenshin said crouching down and sliding his hands under the stone.

"You're going to lift that alone?" Sphinx said.

"I'd rather not have you touching the blade." Kenshin said. "The only reason it doesn't burn me as much is because I've got a built up holy magic resistance." Kenshin grunted as he started lifting the stone off the ground. "Haaa! !" He lobbed it over the water as far as he could and watched it sink.

"You know, you didn't have to make the stone that big." Sona said.

"I want it to sink as deep as possible." Kenshin said. "Worst case it sinks too deep and I ask Undine to turn me into a slime and go in after it after the war's over."

"Why would you do that?" Sphinx asked.

"I promised to return it to the people who have been looking for it." Kenshin said.

"Ah." Sphinx said. "Well as long as it's away from Makai I don't care, but are you sure you can trust the ones you're returning it to?" Sphinx said with her eyes closed.

"We're in an alliance with them." Sona said.

"..." Kenshin didn't reply.

"Kenshin?" Sona said. "What is it?"

"Nothing." Kenshin said. "Come on, let's go."

(break)

That Night.

Kenshin was at the oasis, he was doing some light training with his external water control. Needless to say he wasn't having much of a go of it. "Goddamn, what is so damn difficult about this. I figured it out in a past life, why can't I do it this time." He muttered.

"Maybe it's because you're trying too hard."

"Huh?" Kenshin turned to find Sona. "Sona? What do you mean?"

"Remember what I said before about working it into your everyday routine back at Kuoh?" Sona said. (1 )

"Yeah?" Kenshin asked. "Sounds kinda weird though, I just can't see you training that sort of thing during student council work."

"..." Sona covered her mouth, laughing into it. "Kenshin I haven't always been in Kuoh you know. It was easier to do it at home."

"Ooooh..." Kenshin sweatdropped.

"So, what comes second nature to you?" Sona asked.

"Fighting I guess." Kenshin said.

"Uh huh. Try that then." Sona said.

"Hmn..." Kenshin threw out a stencil and they both walked out onto the water.

"Try not to infuse your youki into the attacks. External elemental manipulation is a mana technique." Sona said.

"..." Kenshin narrowed his eyes. "Hmn..." Kenshin went into thought.

"Try a little bit at a time." Salamander suggested.

Kenshin slid into a stance. "No blades." He said. His clone nodded and mirrored his stance. The clone pursued Kenshin who thrust his hand forward. The water shifted and tripped up the clone.

"Hm?" Sona said as she noticed this. "He's already starting to get it." She thought.

The clone got back up and punched at Kenshin. A tendril of water launched forward, which Kenshin dodged. He waved his hand forward and created another wave to knock his clone on his backside.

A few minutes passed Kenshin nodded, dispelling the clone. "I see, it's definitely easier with less youki, but I don't know if I can take it all out. I mean, I grew up learning how to infuse youki into my attacks."

"Well do as much as you can." Sona said.

"Yes." Kenshin said turning toward her with a smile. 'Thanks."

"Of course." Sona said.

"So, what brought you out here?" Kenshin asked.

"Well I was helping you recover, I have to keep my eye on your hyperactive self." Sona said.

"You make me sound like Sylph." Kenshin snorted.

"Hyperactivity doesn't always have to involve being rambunctious." Sona said with a smile.

"Aah." Kenshin said. "Well, while we're here, wanna work on your internal water element?"

"Alright." Sona nodded.

"OK, but first I wanna preface this by saying that while a Serene state helps your ability to dodge attacks. If you're just not fast enough, no amount of Serenity will help you against an opponent with a lot of speed, like say a Knight piece or say...Alma Elma or Jordan. The Heavenly Knight and Grand Cardinal of Wind. That's why internal Wind and Water magic works so well together." Kenshin said. "They also work well externally, creating Ice."

"Ice? You mean Onee-Sama is able to use wind magic?" Sona asked.

"Probably, here help me for a second." Kenshin said. "You use water, I'll use wind."

"OK." Sona said extending her hand toward the water and pulling a sphere of it out, she levitated it in front of her. Kenshin moved in front of her as well and brought his hands around the sphere. Wind magic surrounded the sphere of water. "..." Sona watched as it slowly, but surely froze over. "So anyone can use Onee-Sama's magic?"

"Not really." Kenshin said. "She's got it down so well that she can basically do it without a second thought, it takes years of work for that. That and I've heard she can mold it as it it were water magic. Anyway she's just got it down to like an art form so no, nobody can really use HER magic. Can they use Ice magic? Sure, given the amount of training they're willing to put in, but her magic? No. Ain't no one gonna be using her Celsius Cross Trigger."

"OK." Sona nodded. "So...how do I improve my internal water magic usage?"

"Hmn...well think of the feeling you get from using your water magic externally, but keep your mana inside your body." Kenshin said.

"OK..." Sona said. "Aah...that feels funny." She admitted.

"Don't worry, it will at first." Kenshin chuckled. "But that's not all, you need to shut out all distractions, and become at one with the flows of the world around you."

"You keep saying that, but what actually are the flows?" Sona asked.

"You could say it's the natural mana of the world. Senjutsu users tap into the flows of the world as well, but make use of it in different ways." Kenshin said.

"I see..." Sona nodded.

Kenshin watched as she relaxed herself again. He took out a charm and activated it to form a handful of mud spheres. He threw one at Sona's forehead.

"Aah? !" Sona wiped her forehead clean. "What what that for? !" She asked.

"When you are one with the flows you should be able to perceive an attack coming for you and be able to react accordingly, the fact that I pegged you there means you weren't in tune." Kenshin said.

"I had only just started." Sona huffed.

"When you do it, it happens in an instant." Kenshin said. "If you don't want your Kuoh uniform getting dirty. I suggest you get crackin'."

"Does it really have to be with that?" Sona said pointing at the mud pellets.

"Hey, I could smack you over the head or just get more physical, that's what Ragnarok and Shin did to me." Kenshin said.

"...I'm fine with this." Sona said with a sigh.

"Alright then." Kenshin said as he walked a circle around Sona. About a minute passed and he took another pellet and threw it at the Sitri heiress. She tilted her body out of the way at the last second. "Hooh?" Kenshin said.

"Eh?" Sona said opening her eyes.

"Well you did it, how did it feel?" Kenshin asked.

"Kind of...an amplified feeling of that adrift in an ocean feeling." Sona said.

"No, how did it feel when you dodged?" Kenshin asked.

"It's...difficult to describe. It's like I felt something coming, but was calm enough to let it keep doing so until the last second." Sona said.

"Yeah." Kenshin said. "Remember that feeling and do it again."

"OK." Sona nodded and did as asked.

Kenshin pegged her with another mud pellet, hitting her in the chest. She opened her eyes and looked at him in confusion. "That means your Serene state still has some cloudiness or mist in it." Kenshin said. "I was using Serene Mind there as well, it hides my presence from you."

"So, if I can get it to clear my mind, I should be able to sense your 'attacks' even when you're using Serene Mind?" Sona asked.

"Not always. You also need to be better at using it in general, and like I said before, if your body is too slow, sensing the attack coming is meaningless." Kenshin said.

"I understand." Sona said.

"Want to keep going?" Kenshin asked.

"Of course." Sona nodded.

"Also don't worry about your clothes, I'll leave you to wash them later." Kenshin said.

"Very well." Sona nodded.

About an hour later Sona was standing still as Kenshin was circling her. He had one pellet left. He infused it with wind magic, his Serene state active and threw it at Sona. He was surprised when a tendril of water ripped forth from the oasis and blocked it. Sona opened her eyes and smiled. "Got it." She said.

"Heh. Good work, but you still need to keep at it." Kenshin said. "However we'll call it a night."

"Very well." Sona said as she walked toward the oasis.

"Alright. I'll leave you to it. Won't be too far though." Kenshin said as he turned and walked away and teleporting back to the Pyramid chamber once he was in range. He started reading his book. An hour passed and he looked around. "She's taking awhile." He muttered.

It didn't take him long to arrive at the oasis, but he ducked behind some of the dunes as he noticed someone standing in the water, clearly wearing nothing. "Sona?" Kenshin whispered.

It was indeed Sona standing in the water. She took a bucket full of water and dumped it on herself. "Haa..." She let out a sigh. "Kenshin's definitely getting better, that's good, but I wonder how long he'll still need my help." She cupped her hands over her breasts. "They're still sore."

"?" Kenshin quirked a brow at this. "Why would her breasts be sore from nursing me to health?" Kenshin thought. "I've been curious about this, how did she nurse me." He thought.

"..." Sona closed her eyes. "But still...I can't deny...how good it felt..." She murmured with a blush.

"What's she doing?" Kenshin asked himself as Sona pushed herself to the surface of the water, standing on it. She began to sway her arms, before long Kenshin realized she was dancing on the water, but the thing that surprised Kenshin the most was that the water moved with her kicking up and swaying in rhythm with her. It honestly entranced Kenshin as he watched her, the water moving in the same arcing motions as her arms, as if it was an extension of her own body. He started to move toward her, but misstepped and fell, tumbling down the sand dune.

"Aah? !" Sona covered herself and shaped the water around her to attack at a moment's notice.

"Oooww..." Kenshin said. "Ok...maybe I'm not as tip top as I thought and I lifted a boulder like this?

"K-Kenshin?" Sona said. "What are you doing back here?"

"You were taking awhile getting back so I worried..." Kenshin said keeping his eyes closed.

"I-I see." Sona said.

"I also never got to thank you for nursing me to health." Kenshin said. "But...I guess I should have waited."

"..." Sona looked down at her state of undress. Kenshin extended his jacket toward her to cover herself with. "Um, well...it's not like you haven't seen it already." Sona said taking the jacket and holding it in front of herself.

"Ok..." Kenshin said opening his eyes. "Uhm...question."

"Huh?" Sona asked.

"It's arid here except for this oasis, which Sphinx said was too far to give me water from...so, how exactly did I keep hydrated?" Kenshin asked.

"..." Sona's face dyed red as she glanced away. "U-Uhm...w-well...in emergencies...like water shortages our doctors researched a way to keep patients hydrated, but..."

"But?" Kenshin asked.

"It requires a place of high humidity, made easily possible through our magic, so one can perform the technique which was easier to provide, but...we would use our bodies to cleanse the water as it contacted our bodies and direct it to a point where it could be extracted from us..." Sona said, not daring to look him in the eye. "The humidity was provided by Undine-San...so..." She trailed off.

"..."

"Kenshin?" Sona said finally turning toward him. What greeted her eyes was the Kuroshi Clan Patriarch, his own face dyed red.

"S-S-So...i-if I got what you're saying right...y-you...g-gave me water...through wet nursing?" Kenshin asked.

"..." Sona slowly, shyly nodded.

"I am...so sorry you had to do that, it must have been mortifying." Kenshin said.

"Well...I guess I can think of a bunch of people who would be worse options to do it with than you." Sona said glancing down at her feet. "Besides, you needed the help. Just...please keep this between us..."

"You have my word." Kenshin said.

"Thank you." Sona said. An uncomfortable silence fell over them.

"..." Kenshin didn't dare break it.

Sona however, finally did. "...Why were you watching me bathe?" She asked.

"I didn't mean to." Kenshin said. "I saw you and had originally planned on waiting for you to finish back at the pyramid after checking on you, but then you talked about me, you know...I couldn't help listening, then you started dancing."

"Oh..." Sona said with an embarrassed blush. "It's...kind of a hobby of mine, to feel my worries ease away with the flows of the water...do you think that's weird?"

"No. Not at all." Kenshin shook his head. "Actually...seeing it from afar, in the moonlight...it has to be one of the most beautiful things I've seen."

"..." Sona stared at him, eyes slightly wide.

"You had a graceful rhythm and the movements of the water were a nice compliment." Kenshin said before looking away. "Uhm, sorry if that's embarrassing for you to hear."

"...Hmh..." A small smile appeared on Sona's face. "You know...it really is a shame..."

"What is?" Kenshin asked.

"That I didn't get to know you earlier." Sona said.

"...Hey...Sona I've been meaning to ask, but you've kept delaying...but...can you just answer one question for me?" Kenshin said.

"What is it?" Sona asked.

"Does the treaty between the Tsuki and Sitri contain a marriage contract?" Kenshin asked.

"...Yes." Sona said.

"...I see." Kenshin said with narrowed eyes. "I guess...Ragnarok and Draco didn't ever think their clans would join together like they have."

"Indeed." Sona said with her eyes closed.

"Your family doesn't have another heir lined up, do they?" Kenshin asked.

"No." Sona said shaking her head.

"So you want to cancel the arrangement then?" Kenshin asked.

"..." Sona went into thought. "...No."

"No?" Kenshin said. "You want to..."

"I would just like to see if it can be tweaked." Sona said. "You're already marrying Rias, who you love, but there's no reason why we can't continue on as we have been."

"I see..." Kenshin said getting to his feet. "I'll leave you to finish then."

"Wait." Sona said grabbing his hand.

"Huh?" Kenshin said turning back to her.

"Would you like to dance with me?" Sona asked.

"Hm?" Kenshin said. "You're not embarrassed with me being here anymore?" He said seeing her set the jacket he gave her to the side.

"It's happened often enough that I don't mind it anymore." Sona replied. "I say that, but...this throbbing in my chest." She thought.

"Wouldn't I then need to undress?" Kenshin asked.

"Of course. I'll wait." Sona said.

"...?" Kenshin stared at her with a quizzical gaze for a moment before shrugging. "I guess I can humor her. I do owe her for helping me recover." He thought.

He starts unbuttoning his shirt. "Hey, do you think Rias is alright? I've been meaning to ask."

"My peerage knows what they're doing, and you gave her that pill. I have no reason to believe she won't be fine." Sona said.

"Right." Kenshin nodded throwing his shirt to the side.

"..." Sona's eyes trailed up and down his torso.

"...Sona...you're drooling." Kenshin said.

"!" Sona wiped her mouth only to find nothing.

"Hahaha, made ya look." Kenshin snickered.

"..." Sona furrowed her brow at Kenshin.

"You know, if you really are attracted to me, it means you and your sister have similar tastes in men." Kenshin noted.

"I am aware of that, I just don't care." Sona said.

"..." Kenshin glanced at her for a moment before completely stripping down. "Well, here I am, in all my 'natural glory' so to speak."

"Hmh." Sona nodded with a smile and grabbed his hand, guiding him onto the water.

The two began to sway to an non-existent beat. Sona kept her eye on him. "You know, I kinda thought you'd be better at dancing from what Rias told me."

"Most of that was Venerana-Sama's teaching me. I am rhythmically inclined, but it's more of a battle rhythm." Kenshin said with a sweatdrop.

"Hmhmhm...I see. Well if you don't mind a hint. Remember how we talked about how using water magic made us feel?" Sona asked.

"Yeah?" Kenshin said.

"Well, go with that." Sona suggested.

"Go ahead, I don't mind." Undine said.

Kenshin relaxed himself. "Haaa..." He sighed out. "Uh, hey can I ask something?"

"Hm?" Sona asked as they started dancing again.

"We are in the middle of a desert. How are we not both freezing?" Kenshin asked.

"Stick your foot in the water." Sona said.

"Hm?" Kenshin did as she asked. "Oh..wow that is warm."

"I'm using my mana to heat the water. It doesn't take that much." Sona said.

Kenshin looked down and saw her magic circle at the floor of the oasis. "I see. You also cleaned the water..again."

"Yes. It was a bit murky when I got here the first time." Sona said.

"A little hard to focus right now." Kenshin noted.

"Hm?" Sona said. "Why's that?"

"Well I was sick until tonight, maybe my body's still trying to play catch up. I shouldn't have tossed that boulder in hindsight." Kenshin suggested.

"Maybe." Sona nodded.

"Of course I say that, but having you dancing with me in the nude doesn't help." Kenshin thought, sparing the slender Sitri heiress the occasional glance, trying not to stare as they danced more in rhythm. "Hm?" He looked down and saw the water kicking up, but he wasn't doing much to make it happen.

"Ah, you're starting to mold the water element with your movements." Sona noted.

"Huh?" Kenshin said.

"Well you were having problems with your external water element molding before, this just means you're getting better. Sona said.

"...This coming from the one who asked me for training help." Kenshin drawled.

Sona approached him. "My requested assistance was for the water element as it pertains to inside, we have the same problem, just in differing locations."

"I see." Kenshin said as Sona grabbed his hand and spun herself around, lifting his arm up and moving under it. Kenshin mirrored this action as she stopped.

"Hmhmhm..." Sona laughed quietly. "See? The water's moving along with us." She said.

"Yeah, it just looks like it's strands of water though, or ropes. It's the beads of water that fling off of them that really adds to the beauty of this water dancing, y'know...with the shimmering moonlight hitting the water."

"Of course." Sona said as she went into a spin that stopped when her back hit his chest.

"Among...other things." Kenshin muttered.

"..." Sona heard him, but didn't reply.

"Hm..." Kenshin said after they didn't move for a bit. "Sona?"

"Yes?" Sona asked.

"Are we done?" Kenshin asked.

"..." Sona went silent as she turned to him.

"Sona, is everything alri-Mm?" Kenshin was silenced as Sona leaned up and kissed him on the lips.

"Kenshin..." Sona said looking him in the eyes after pulling away. "This may be asking a little much, but...can you give me the kiss you give to Rias?"

"..." Kenshin stared at her.

"...well if you don't want to, that's fine." Sona said. "It's not as if we're that close or anything."

"Well, it's more each kiss I give her varies in depth and feeling." Kenshin said. "Besides, I could swear you thought before that a man who changes how he acts with individual people was a wonderful thing, so..."

"So?" Sona asked.

"So why would you want the kiss I give Rias?" Kenshin asked with a smile.

"..." A smile stretched across Sona's face. "I see, of course...what was I thinking?" Sona said. "Well regardless I still wa-Mmh..." Sona was silenced as Kenshin placed his lips over hers.

Kenshin wrapped his arms around the Sitri heiress' lithe frame, he pried her lips apart with his tongue and slid it inside. Sona let out a moan, wrapping her arms around his neck and deepening the kiss herself, pushing her tongue into his mouth. "Mmph..." Kenshin's hands slid down and lifted her up by the hips.

"Mmh!" Sona moaned as she was lifted up. Her legs instinctively spread, letting Kenshin in between. She felt something hard poking her inner thigh. "Ooh...he's already aroused...hmph I don't need a voluptuous figure to arouse him then." She thought.

Kenshin turned himself around and Sona leaned forward, the momentum causing Kenshin to fall on his back into the sand, both their lower bodies still submerged in the warm water. Finally they parted their lips.

Sona stared into his eyes. "...Wow...that was...splendid." She said.

"You're pretty good yourself." Kenshin said.

"Hmn." Sona smiled. "I notice something poking me below my waist..."

"Aah...yeah..." Kenshin said with a sweatdrop.

"Does that serve to imply that this figure of mine arouses you?" Sona said.

"Like I said before, attractiveness isn't all in the looks, you could say this entire dancing session was arousing...for the both of us if what I'm feeling coming from you is any indication." Kenshin said.

"Teaser..." Sona accused blithely.

"Guilty as charged." Kenshin grinned.

"Hmn..." Sona smiled softly and took hold of his head, rubbing his ears while her head dipped below his head and started kissing his neck.

"Haa..." Kenshin sighed. "Funny, I didn't think that feel good, but it does." He said referring to the feeling coming from his neck.

"Hmhmhm, well of course. What feels good for the woman will typically feel good for the man." Sona said, licking from his collarbone to his jawline.

"Haaa..." Kenshin shivered a bit. "Sona...where is this coming from?"

"I am a Devil aren't I? I'm just obeying my desire." Sona said.

"Where did that desire come from I wonder?" Kenshin said as his hand came to rest on the Sitri heiress' backside, gently rubbing it.

"Mmhn...why don't you tell me...O' Dragon who inspires Lust." Sona said with a coy smile as she leaned in and kissed the corner of his lips.

"Blaming me for your lust are you?" Kenshin said giving her ass a soft swat.

"Aah!" Sona let out a gasp. "Hmph...You ARE the Lust Dragon, and a devilishly handsome man...I just can't take seeing you exposed before me any longer and not doing anything. It's my time to have a little fun dammit."

"Are you...pouting?" Kenshin said with a dubious look.

"Mmnnn..." Sona glared and reached down, gripping his shaft. She smirked as Kenshin's expression shifted. "Ahahaha..." She laughed airily. "That's not an expression that you should be showing me you know."

"Hnn..." Kenshin grunted as Sona stroked his cock harder. "This is a far cry from the shy Sitri girl I was just talking to earlier." He said.

"Well, you can chalk that up to us being alone. Trust me, you're the only that's getting to see this side of me." Sona said as her thumb rubbed the head of Kenshin's cock. "It's so hot...it feels like it might burn my hand."

"...Heh." Kenshin smirked and activated the first level of his cards and sent a heat pulse to his cock.

"Aah." Sona gasped feeling the heat jump up. "That doesn't mean you need to try to do it!" She said.

"Hahaha..." Kenshin chuckled.

"..." Sona watched it leak precum. "...May I?"

"You don't need to ask." Kenshin snorted.

Sona nodded with a smile and kissed him on the lips before sliding on down his body, moving between his legs. "Mmn...such a perverted scent..." She brought her lips to the back of his head and started licking. "Mmh..." She moaned at the taste.

"Haa..." Kenshin sighed out as she continued to lick all over his head.

"Such a peculiar, erotic taste." Sona said.

"Mhn..." Kenshin moaned as Sona's lips latched onto the tip of Kenshin's cock and sucked strongly on it as her hands stroked up and down his shaft.

"Mmmhnn..." Sona moaned in content as she lapped up the precum that leaked out. She pulled her head back and prodded her tongue against the slit.

"Man, you're surprisingly good at this..." Kenshin said.

"Thanks, I'm just sort of winging it." Sona said.

"Well keep it up." Kenshin said with a slightly dazed grin.

Sona nodded and moved her hand to the back of Kenshin's cock and dragged her tongue from the base. "Haamph..." Sona took the head in her mouth and swirled her tongue around it.

"Oohh..." Kenshin sighed out.

"Mmph..." Sona moaned against him as she sucked harder. "Mmgh..."

"Gaah...So...na..." Kenshin grunted.

Sona took her mouth off the head, stroking his cock with one hand while her other hand fondled his sack. "Kenshin, you have no idea what you've been doing to me for a while now." Sona said.

"Huh?" Kenshin said.

"Since our date, I've been having these weird visions of us doing things like this, though back in Kuoh it was limited to just kissing and well...deep kissing, but when we got here to Makai...no...when you bested me in that chess game...they've been getting more vivid...and limited to my dreams only."

"Ahaaa I see..." Kenshin said with a small laugh. "You've been fantasizing about me." Kenshin teased.

Sona's face went slightly red, but she laughed demurely. "Yes, I admit that much, but...I'm done fantasizing, I'm going to take you for myself while I still have the chance."

"Well you won't hear a complaint out of me." Kenshin said.

"Good." Sona said.

"But you know it doesn't have to be limited to tonight." Kenshin said.

Sona flicked her tongue on the back of Kenshin's tip. "Oh I know that, but why waste the moment tonight hm?"

"True." Kenshin said. "But before you get back to it...oooh...!" Kenshin held back a long moan as Sona moved her head forward and took half his length into her mouth. "Aagh..."

"Mmgh..." Sona's eyes narrowed as she made a soft slurping sound as she started moving her head along it. "I'hm...not 'urting yoou...am I?" Sona asked.

If not for the situation at hand, Kenshin probably would have laughed at how the normally dignified heiress was talking with her mouth full, something he would expect from her older sister...well in private anyway. However Kenshin shook his head. "Nah, you're actually doin' pretty good for just wingin' it."

"Mmn..." Sona nodded a bit before returning her focus to the task at hand. "Mmgh...uhn..." She moves her tongue along the back before licking the tip, focusing on the slit.

"Ghaaa.." Kenshin grunted softly as Sona worked him over sensuously.

"Haa..haa..." Sona panted, her warm breaths hitting Kenshin's cock as she sucked strongly, focusing her tongue on the glans.

"Fuu..." Kenshin held back a sigh, placing a hand on the side of her head.

"Hm...uh, mm...haa..." Sona moaned and sighed against him. She takes his cock deeper into her mouth, making it nudge the back of her throat.

"Haa...fuck...Sonaaa..." Kenshin moaned out.

"Hmhmhm..." Sona giggled.

"Guhh..." Kenshin closed his left eye, looking down at her.

"Glonf...mmh...ungh, hm, mmm...mmg..." Sona's lips squeezed against Kenshin's shaft as they rose and fell around it.

"Guuohh..." Kenshin placed his hand on top of her head,, but didn't push. "Haaa..."

Sona looked up at him as she sucked him off in earnest. A red streak painted across her face. "Umgh...uhn..."

"Haa..." Kenshin sighed out.

"Haa...umgh, haaa..." Sona pulls his cock out to catch her breath, while licking the sides of his shaft. "Hm...umg, uh...huh...mm, umgh..."

"Gaahh..." Kenshin gasped out. "Man you're really not letting up for a moment..." Kenshin said with a smile.

"Of course not..." Sona said, flicking her tongue against the head before taking it deep inside. "Umgh, hmh...mmh...hua...haa...umg, haa!" Sona panted and moaned on him, feeling his cock twitch in her mouth.

"Ooh fuck...Sona...it's..." Kenshin said.

"Go ahead..." Sona said as she pistoned her head back and forth, eager to accept his seed.

"Guuh...!" Kenshin grunted, trying to stem the tide, even as Sona doubled her efforts. "Fuck...!"

"Umg...hm, mmh, umgh, mm, uhn, haa, aah...gghh!, Mmhh!" Sona moaned against him, her hands holding him by the waist, ensuring he couldn't move away from her.

"Guaahh...! Sona!" Kenshin shouted out as he finally couldn't take it anymore and climaxed, filling the Sitri heiress's mouth with his seed.

"Hmn! Mmgh! Hmmnn! Haa...haaa...haaa..." Sona moaned and panted as she took his essence into her mouth.

(gulp)

"..." Kenshin watched as she swallowed it all and looked up at him.

"There, that takes care of you..." Sona said.

"Jeez Sona..." Kenshin said.

"What?" Sona asked.

"Never thought you could act all sexy like this." Kenshin chuckled.

"Hmn...well, like I said before, I'm only showing this to you." Sona said before pulling him into a kiss. "Mmh..."

Kenshin angled himself behind the Sitri heiress. Once he did so, he parted lips with her. "Alright, lets get started." Kenshin said moving his head down to her neck while Sona's back laid against his chest.

"Ooh..mmhn!" Sona moaned as Kenshin started licking and sucking on the nape of her neck. "Ooh...Kenshin..." She sighed out.

"Mm..." Kenshin's hands wandered to her chest and started caressing her breasts.

"Haa...there? It's not like I have a lot to rub..." Sona said.

"Don't care..." Kenshin said as he massaged her breasts.

"Oohh...your hands...are so soft..." Sona said. "With the amount of fighting you do, I'm surprised..."

"Eh, Undine won't let me be dry enough to have rough, weathered hands." Kenshin said dragging one of his incisor teeth along the nape of her neck.

"Aah!" Sona let out a gasp.

"Heheheheh..." Kenshin chuckled to himself as his fingers started working her nipples, pinching and twisting them.

"Mmu...hua...aahh...aah..." Sona's body relaxed against Kenshin's. "He's not even rubbing down there yet and I'm already like this..." She thought with a shiver. "He certainly is a person with extensive knowledge in lovemaking..."

"You're shivering an awful lot...are you starting to get cold out here?" Kenshin teased.

"Shut up, you know damn well why my body is quivering right now." Sona snapped weakly.

"Hahahaha." Kenshin said as he moved a hand downward, making it a point to graze his fingernails down her belly.

"Haaa..." Sona shuddered under his touch.

"Wow, you're not even using my power and she's doing this." Sylph said.

"I did know my way around the bedroom before I started using the powers of you spirits y'know." Kenshin thought.

"Haa...haa...haa..." Sona panted as Kenshin's fingers, instead of rubbing her lower lips, merely teased them and rubbed around her most sensitive area. "Kenshin, I didn't tease you..." She said with a halfhearted glare.

"Teasing? You accuse little ol' me of teasing?" Kenshin chided. "How could you Sona?"

"Kenshin...please." Sona said with a small, but desperate whine.

"Alright I'll stop." Kenshin said as the two fingers he was rubbing her with, his index and middle fingers closed the gap between themselves and started tracing up and down her moist, puffing labia.

"Haa!" Sona gasped sharply just from that alone, more from the feeling at the top than the bottom of her genitalia. "Mmu! Haan...! Hyaa!" Kenshin wrapped his tails around her waist, making sure she wouldn't lose her balance, while still being able to retain full movement. "Haa...haa...thank you..." She said, laying her head on his shoulder, allowing herself to be completely at his mercy.

"Of course." Kenshin said as his fingers stopped tracing around her vagina and focused solely on the engorged digit at the top. He used his middle finger to peel back the fleshy hood that covered it while his index finger nudged it gently.

"Hyaa!" Sona's back arched a bit as Kenshin did this. A jolt of electricity ripping up her spine.

"Sona, have...you never touched yourself before?" Kenshin asked.

"Wh-Why?" Sona asked, feeling put on the spot.

"Well...it's just...you seem awfully surprised by the sensations your own body is giving you." Kenshin said.

"W-Well have you? !" Sona snapped.

"Yeah, actually led to me legitimately losing my virginity." Kenshin shrugged.

"...No...I haven't." Sona said.

"So you're telling me...that some of those late nights where you had you, your work and a bottle of that aged wine you like...that you never even thought about it?" Kenshin asked.

"My home life isn't exactly geared for my own personal privacy." Sona said. "And I haven't necessarily had anything to fantasize about until you and I went on this streak of embarrassing each other."

"Hahaha, I see...well Sona there's no reason to be embarrassed. Not everyone's sexually active." Kenshin said.

"Haa...mmhn! Mmh...aah..haa...aah, ohh! Ooohh!" Sona moaned as as Kenshin doubled his efforts on her clitoris. "Kenshiiinnnn...!" She mewled out, her body writhing in pleasure.

"Hmhmhm..." Kenshin slid his fingers down her pussy and prodded them against the hole.

"Haa..haa..." Sona panted.

"Alright..." Kenshin said as he slid his index finger inside her virgin hole moving it in and out slowly.

"Hau...aah, ahh! Mmhn!" Sona moaned out.

"Hmn...It's just my finger and you're already squeezing it so tightly..." Kenshin said as he wiggled it around between her folds.

"Haau!" Sona yelped. "Mmmn!"

"OK..." Kenshin said unwrapping his tails from the heiress' waist. She fell onto her knees.

"Haa...haa..haa...my legs are so weak..." Sona panted out.

"Sona." Kenshin said pulling on her shoulder, making her turn toward him. Their lips met and Kenshin put her on her back before breaking the kiss.

"Hmn..." Sona smiled sensually. "You know...I have to compliment your prowess here..."

"Well, practice makes perfect...and lately I've been getting practice." Kenshin shrugged.

"Well, I guess I can't fault that..." Sona said.

"Ok...now let's continue..." Kenshin said kissing her neck and moving downward.

"Yaa!" Sona gasped as Kenshin started licking her nipples. "W-Why there?"

"Because it makes you feel good." Kenshin said as he switched nipples.

"Mmu! Ooh...!" Sona's hands moved to the sides of his head, holding it as her body's pleasure zones were stimulated. She felt Kenshin's head moving further south, kissing down her belly and past her waist. "Haa!" Sona gasped sharply as she felt Kenshin's tongue against her maidenhood.

"Mmh..." Kenshin placed his hands on her inner thighs and used his thumbs to spread her lower lips.

"Haa, haa...yaahh! Mmhn!" Sona moaned out as Kenshin's tongue poked and prodded against her most sensitive area.

"Nngh..." Kenshin grunted as he felt Sona's hands gripping his hair as he continued to lap his tongue at her pussy. "Mmn...Sona...you taste so good..." He moaned in content.

"Yaaahhh! D-Don't say such embarrassing things!" Sona complained, her body writhing around in ecstasy once again.

"Oh? Well then allow me to compliment you further." Kenshin said raising his head for a moment. "You might not have a voluptuous figure up top, but you do have really great legs and hips. They're very supple and toned, as well as your backside. All are very appealing to the eyes."

"E-Eeeh? !" Sona said with a dark blush. "He actually pays attention to such things? !"

As if reading her mind Kenshin merely laughed. "You cover them up really well, but remember I admire the beauty of a woman overall, not just one part." Kenshin said.

"..." Sona smiled. "Oh right...how could I forget?"

"There's that smile I was hoping to see." Kenshin said returning her smile before moving back between her legs lapping up her 'love juices.'

"Mmu! Ooh! Fuuaah! Aah! Oh lord, Kenshin you're so good at this!" Sona cried out, her back arching a bit.

"Mmhn..." Kenshin nodded and kept licking her.

"Haa...haa...haa..haa..." Sona panted as Kenshin kept lapping his tongue at her vagina. "Mmu!"

Kenshin latched his lips onto Sona's clit and started sucking on it. "Mmph..."

"Oooh! Mmaah! Ohh! Kenshin! Kenshiiiinnnnn! !" Sona mewled out, her body wracked with pleasure.

Kenshin felt the Sitri heiress' hips squeezing his head and gripped them with his hands pulling her in closer, pushing his tongue inside her dripping cunt.

"Aaahh! Mmuu~! Kenshin! Ooh! Kenshin! More, don't stop! I'm almost there! Almost theeerreee!" Sona cried out.

"As you wish." Kenshin said rotating his tongue inside her.

That was the breaking point for Sona as her back arched fully and she let out a cry to the heavens of Makai. When her orgasm subsided Sona collapsed against the sand floor beneath her and panted. "Haa...haa haa haa...haa...haa..."

"So...how was your first orgasm?" Kenshin asked hovering over the Sitri heiress, looking into her eyes.

Sona reacted almost immediately, wrapping her arms around him, pulling Kenshin into a deep, fierce makeout session. When she broke it off she smiled. "It was...remarkable..." Sona said.

"Heheh..." Kenshin grinned. "Glad to hear it."

"Yes...now..." Sona said as she gently placed her left hand on his right shoulder and nudged him, pushing him onto his back. "...are you ready to claim the chastity of your second heiress?" She asked.

"Well, you probably wouldn't accept a no. so..." Kenshin said.

"You're right...after all this pleasure you showed me...I would be highly disappointed if you didn't follow through." Sona said.

"Hmph. Then you're in luck. I always 'follow through' with a woman who wants me to bed her." Kenshin said with a small, aroused smirk.

"Hmhmhm..." Sona said grabbing hold of Kenshin's hard length and guiding it to her vaginal entrance. "Then...enjoy this moment..." She said throwing her hips down, tearing through her hymen in one deft movement. "Nnnngh!" She grunted, feeling her hymen tear

Kenshin reached up and started caressing her breasts. "Are you OK Sona?" He asked.

"Nn, it hurts a little more than I thought it would, but...it's nothing I can't handle." Sona said.

"..." Kenshin looks over at the hand she grabbed the Tsurugi no Kami with previously and grabs it, taking her index finger into his mouth.

"Aahn? !" Sona feels magic being pulled out of her. "Wh-What are you doing?" She asked.

"You've got a slight bit of holy magic inside you, I'm extracting it." Kenshin said as he sucked softly on her index finger.

"B-But won't that hurt you?" Sona asked.

"I've got a holy magic resistance built up. I'll be fine." Kenshin said with a smile.

"Mmmuu...O-OK..." Sona said as she slowly shifted her hips up and down on Kenshin's cock.

"Gaah..." Kenshin sighed out, feeling Sona's wet folds constrict around him.

"Oooh Kenshin...yeeeesss...it feels amazing..." Son moaned out.

"I bet it does Sona..." Kenshin said thrusting into her.

"Haa..haa..." Sona panted, feeling Kenshin's hard, hot length spreading her pussy apart.

"Gaahh..." Kenshin grunted out as his length speared in and out of the Sitri heiress.

"Haa...haa..haa..." Sona panted as her hips grind against Kenshin's. "Ohhh...Kenshin..."

"Sona...you feel amazing..." Kenshin said shifting his hips against her.

"Mmu! Ooh!" Sona moaned out. "Yaaaa...umhn, mmg! Ggh! Haa! Haa!"

Kenshin's hands rubbed and caressed her hips before moving up to her waist. "You don't have to limit yourself to just grinding on me y'know."

"Mhn..." Sona nodded and started raising and lowering her hips on him. "Aah, kuu, ahh, fuah..." Pleasure threatened to overload her senses as she slowly moved herself up and down on Kenshin's length. "Haa... ah, afu...mm, mmm, ah, aahh...aah, ah, aahh...aaahh."

"Interesting...is she using water magic to ease the pain, or is she really just getting wetter as we go?" Kenshin thought.

Sona cupped her hands over his and pulled them off her waist, interlocking their hands together. "Haa..ah, afuu...aakk...mm, mmm...aah, aauu...aah, ah, haauunn! Kuu...ah, fuuaahh..."

"Ghhkk..." Kenshin grunted as the numerous folds of flesh that made up the vaginal wall inside her stimulated him, her now sweet moaning driving him. "Uuhk, aah! Ah, oh, mmm!"

"Ah, ah, ah, ahh, aah! Aah, guu, mmu...!" Sona moaned out, squeezing Kenshin's hands. "Ooh! Mmhn!"

"Fuu..." Kenshin sighed out, he moved his body upward and stood up, grabbing one of Sona's legs while his other arm wrapped around her. He used his newfound leverage to thrust into her.

"Yaa! It's...too good!" Sona cried out, wrapping her arms around Kenshin. "I can...feel it coming! Ooh! I can't...hold it! Yaa! Aah! Aaaah!" Kenshin felt the heiress' body meshing against his own, feeling the quiver running through her as she kept slamming her hips down on him as best as she could. He knew she was riding the edge as long as she could.

"Ghhkk!" Kenshin grunted as he felt her pussy clamp down on his length.

"Ah, aaah, ahh, yaa, aah...mmmn! Aah! Aaaaaahhhhhh! !" Sona finally couldn't hold it any longer and reached her climax.

"Gaah! Oohh!" Kenshin grunted and moaned out as he met his as well, unable to ride the edge on her.

"Yaah...oohh...it's so hot, it's...filling me..." Sona said.

"Haa...haa..haa..." Kenshin panted out. "You were...you felt so good...I couldn't hold it back..."

"Hmhmn..." Sona laughed airily, looking into his eyes with a tired smile.

"So...should we stop here?" Kenshin asked.

"...No..not yet." Sona said, moving her hips.

"G-Ghhaa..." Kenshin said as her pussy stimulated his cock, still sensitive from the orgasm it had just experienced. "You've got your second wind already? Jeez..."

"Who knows when this opportunity might next present itself, I want to take what I can, while I can..." Sona said.

"I guess you have a point." Kenshin said. "Though if you want to do this again sometime, I'm not hard to find."

"But you are hard to get alone." Sona countered, still gently riding him. "Selfish of me though it maybe, I'm not ready to deal with being ignored while you're satisfying another woman."

"Aah...well...I suppose that's true." Kenshin said.

"Hmn..." Sona smiled and leaned in, kissing Kenshin, working her tongue into his mouth."Mmph..."

Kenshin slipped his hands past her waist and grabbed her by the hips, lifting her up slightly before standing up. He started thrusting into her from this position.

"Mmuu!" Sona moaned into him. She wrapped her legs around his hips and held onto him.

"Gghh..." Kenshin grunted.

Sona broke the kiss, setting her head on his shoulder. "Ooh...harder...!"

"..." Kenshin silently complied.

"Aaah!" Sona cried out blissfully.

"Sona...Sooonaaaa..." Kenshin moaned out, feeling her already cum drenched pussy milking him for more.

"Ohh...Ohhh! S...Stop, Stop." Sona said.

"Huh?" Kenshin said, doing as she asked.

"Let me down." Sona said.

"OK...?" Kenshin said.

Sona's feet landed on the ground and she turned around. She reached back behind her and took hold of Kenshin's cock guiding it to her entrance and pushed her hips back.

"Ghh!" Kenshin grunted, not expecting her to push his cock in herself.

"Mmu...!" Sona closed her eyes as she felt herself being spread apart once again.

Kenshin set his hands on her waist and started thrusting into her, not bothering to go slow at this point. "Hng..." He grunted out.

"Haa!...Aaah...huaah...aah, ahh, aah..mmgh!" Sona moaned out, feeling Kenshin's hips slapping against hers while his cock thrust hard and fast into her.

"Nngh...so you wanted to give me a position that lets me go at my hardest..." Kenshin said, a pant developing in his voice.

"Yes, well...aahn...mmu! Aah! Haann! Hyaa! I wanted to know...haa! How it felt when you were allowed to go as hard as you wanted!" Sona moaned out.

"Well, wish granted then..." Kenshin said, giving the Sitri heiress' backside a playful swat.

"Hya!" Sona cried out. "Wh-Wha...that...actually felt...good..."

"Yeah it's kind of an arousal thing, but there are people out there who get off on it." Kenshin said.

Sona felt Kenshin's hands on her small breasts massaging them. One of Sona's hands reached back and pulled Kenshin's head forward and started making out with him.

"Mmph..." Kenshin kept slamming his hips into her, kept playing with her breasts while kissing her deeply.

The kiss was soon forced off as Sona's left arm which she had been using for support gave way and she hit the sand, she propped her head on her arms and looked back. "Ooh...I can see it all, how he's ravaging me..." She thought. "It feels so good..."

"Ghaa...haa..haa...ungh..." Kenshin grunted, the need for release welling up inside him.

"You're cumming again?" Sona asked.

"Haa...yeah..." Kenshin said.

"Mmn...I don't care where you finish..." Sona said. "Let it out where you please..."

"Haaa...! Ghh! Alright...because I can't...hold it...!" Kenshin said as his cock slipped and he came spraying his seed upward, the majority of it landing on her back and in her hair.

"..." Sona collapsed on the sand, gasping for breath.

"Haa...fuck...I didn't get you there this time." Kenshin vocally lamented.

"..." Sona glanced back at him before pushing herself up and onto her back. "Then I guess that's just one you'll owe me for next time."

"I suppose so." Kenshin said with a shrug.

"So you don't like it when your partner doesn't climax?" Sona said as she went over to wash her hair.

"I dunno, it just always bugs me." Kenshin said. "I can't really explain it."

"Hmhmhm...very well I guess I can accept that. Just give me a minute, I'm almost done." Sona said.

Kenshin nodded and snapped his fingers dressing himself with magic. Sona finished washing her hair and did the same. "I guess wet clothes won't be much of an issue with you around." She shrugged, her hair still wet.

"Nah." Kenshin shrugged.

"Alright, let's head back." Sona said.

The two started off walking side by side, but Kenshin noticed Sona was beginning to walk gingerly. "Sona?"

"Aah..s-sorry, I guess we got a little too into it, didn't we?" Sona said with a sweatdrop, smiling knowing he had caught her limping.

"Here." Kenshin said sweeping her off her feet. "I believe you had to carry me to the Pyramid last time, so let me return the favor."

"..." Sona's face darkened, but she closed her eyes. "Do as you wish."

By the time Kenshin got within range of the Pyramid to warp in. He noticed that the Sitri heiress has actually nodded off in his arms. "..." He smiled and set her down in the area he had been laying in for the past few days. "Sweet Dreams Sona." Kenshin said, kissing her on the cheek.

He didn't notice it as he turned away from her, but a small smile had appeared on her face. Kenshin left the Pyramid again, this time to get some air, figuring Sona would be safe in the company of Sphinx. He had come out to mull over his options, with the Tsurugi no Kami, how to combat Forbesii, and Vali, even more mundane things, compared to those two anyway, like how his peerage was doing, how he would navigate an impending situation with Sona's parents and Serafall. But then Yuurei had to chime in, along with Ophis.

He spoke with them for a couple of minutes before he noticed he was being followed. He looked up at the night sky and closed his eyes with an amused smile before saying...

"You know, I must applaud your cunning."

Draconis: Ugh.

Kenshin: Everything alright.

Draconis: Just bummed this took so long to get out.

Kenshin: Well life seemed to get in the way this time.

Sona: And writer's block.

Draconis: Yeah...now anyway. That will be all for now. I'll see you all next time.
