Udyr x Nidalee – Chapter 6 Part A: Shattered Dreams

'..I have made my decision.' 'What will it be then, Spirit Walker? Will you pursue the path of the demon, or the path of the warrior?' 'Neither. The path I walk is one that I have decided is best fit for nature.'

Udyr got about an hour of sleep, only to wake to the voice of Zed again. Udyr thankfully knew one way or another that over the course of the next few days that he would be able to once again find peace. He grabbed Annie, and went off to Ionia. Udyr let Nidalee sleep, since he didn't want to see her just yet.

It only took about a half hour, but they came back, and it was fast. Irelia was right at the gates. "Spirit Walker, you really did come back. And you brought your old apprentice!"

"I had to strengthen the bond between me and my former student. As you know, Ionia is my one true destination."

"You always knew it, Udyr. Welcome back."

Udyr went straight to Ahri's house. Ahri was thankful to see Udyr, but soon fell in love with little Annie just a few seconds later. "Your apprentice is so cute, Udyr! You do pick the best, of course!

Annie started playing with Ahri's tails, and said, "Your tails are fluffy, like the Cougar's tail!"

Udyr interrupted her quickly, saying, "She means wild Cougars. I let her run into some when we were walking to the forest. Annie over here decided to play with them instead of fight them. She is truly a genius being able to tame wild beasts."

Udyr had to give Annie a look that meant to be quiet without letting Ahri know the plan.

"Well, Udyr…Now that you are back, why don't we go out on a walk of our own and talk about your little apprentice?"

"That'd be fine." This gave Udyr the opportunity to talk about what he intended to before letting Annie in on his plan. They decided to walk over to the Courtyard where Irelia was scouting. They sat down right next to an old monument of Ionia's First Elders in power. Udyr had to be careful to look convincing because Irelia was watching their entire conversation.

"You say you adapted with the spirits in the wild with Annie, right? What was that like?"

"It was astounding. For so long, I hadn't been able to feel these emotions run through me. Ahri, I finally figured out what you were saying when you talked about love. And.."

"Yes?"

"You were right in the beginning. I love Ionia, and I love you."

With this, Ahri was stunned for a few seconds, while her eyes were widening on Udyr. "Udyr…It took ten years to get that out of you…" Ahri then pounced on Udyr. "It was worth the entire wait! I love you, Udyr! I love you so much!"

Udyr did know what emotions were at this stage in his life, but he was still amazed at how far they could push someone. The guild that Udyr had in his soul was non-measureable. When Udyr saw Irelia turn away after she smiled at the two, Udyr got up and said, "Why don't we go check on Annie?"

"I think I'd rather stay in the sun, wouldn't you? I don't want to miss a moment of this."

Udyr noticed Irelia turned backwards. "That's fine. What else do you want to talk about?"

"You talk too much. Why don't we just.." Ahri whispered into Udyr's ears what she wanted to do. "What do you think?"

Udyr didn't like the sound of the situation he was in. "I'm not sure. In a public place? What about Annie, I think we shou-"

"I think we should stop talking with our mouths..." As Ahri put her finger over Udyr's lips, "…and start talking with our bodies…"

'Out of all the possibilities, I never expected this to happen. If I turn away now, Irelia and Ahri will surely kill me..I have no choice but to give in to Ahri's demands. Nidalee, Annie, Master, forgive me…'

Ahri started stripping to nothing, and Udyr followed suit, knowing he wasn't escaping this situation.

"I've waited ten years for this day, Udyr. Please, don't hold back anymore." Udyr had never had sex before, so Ahri had to guide his way. "I'm glad to know you weren't doing anything with that little Cougar girl, Udyr. You really do love me!"

It felt like forever for Udyr that they were in that Courtyard; never knowing when to stop. Ahri enjoyed every single second, while Udyr was only slightly enjoying it. He couldn't even begin to think of how he was going to accomplish his plan now because of the bind that Ahri had put him in. The only thing Udyr could do was think.

Later, when it was over, Ahri lied down next to Udyr, who was exhausted. "You really are a beast, Udyr. Hehe!" It was now Ahri who was starting to think to herself about her future with Udyr:

'This is the perfect situation for me! I can take essence from pleasure off of Udyr's primal spirits, and he can get his spirit essence back at a later time. Soon, I'll become a human, and I can truly be Udyr's wife!"

"It was quite exhausting. I didn't know primal spirits were as fierce in mating as they are in combat."

Ahri giggled, and started getting back all her clothes on. "I'm sure there'll be more where that came from later." Udyr was dressed, and ready to go back to her house to get Annie and get out. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be that simple…

When they got back to Ahri's house, Annie fell asleep on the couch with Tibbers in her hands. "Oh Udyr, your apprentice is really the cutest little darling ever." Ahri walked over to put a blanket over Annie, and walked back over to Udyr. "She also has the cutest teddy bear I've ever seen!"

Udyr was getting tenser because his plan was being torn to pieces all over. He still had one more chance to escape Ionia. "I think I'll go take a shower and settle down for the rest of the day. I'm too exhausted to do anything."

Udyr was one step upstairs, when Ahri followed him and said, "Good Idea, Udyr. I also need to wind down!"

"W-What?"

"We're showering together, aren't we?" Ahri gave Udyr a look of confusion. "Are we not engaged, Udyr?" Udyr's eyes widened. He forgot the law of Ionia, that if you have consensual sex with your significant other, it's against the law to leave and/or refuse the company of said other, at anytime, anywhere. Ahri had single handedly destroyed Udyr's plan in the matter of two hours.

"Urgh…I don't feel very good now." Udyr was lost for words. He had to remake his plan point for point while improvising. He went towards the door: "I'm going to need to walk around outside for a bit."

"That's silly! Why don't you just sit down with me, and watch the girl?"

"Because…I feel like the need to walk."

Ahri knew something was up now, and started walking to Udyr. "Really Udyr, what is up with you?" Ahri took Udyr's hands, and said, "Surely if something is wrong you would tell me, right Udyr?"

"I just need a moment alone."

Ahri wasn't playing around anymore, she started getting serious. "ALONE? You didn't get enough being alone for ten years?"

"No, it's not that. I am just used to meditating at this time by myself. I need peace of mind."

"You're not at peace by just being with me? I thought this is what you wanted!"

"Yes, I know! I'm just now realizing what the consequences are."

Now Ahri was getting impatient. "What, that you actually have to be productive? Is that it?! You have a family now, Udyr, and all you can think about is getting away from me!"

"You're misconstruing what I'm saying, Ahri…"

"WHAT THEN? WHAT?" As Ahri shouted this, Annie rubbed her eyes, and yawned. "Morning, Mr. Tibbers. Why is fox lady yelling at Udyr?" "Oh sweetie, I'm sorry. Udyr and I were just talking a bit loudly. Go get some more rest, you can go up to my room." Udyr signaled to her that it was okay to go ahead, and Annie nodded. Once she closed the door, the fighting then commenced:

"I'm sorry Ahri, what I was trying to say was…well"

"Just tell me, Udyr. I won't even get mad at you."

"I need to leave again. My mission time is approaching, and the Freljord steamboat arrives by midnight. If I am not there, I would have to swim 500 miles to Freljord."

"Really? You're going to leave me again, and this time with a child? Haven't you left me enough?"

"Ahri, that's not it!"

"You don't even care, do you?"

"I DO!"

"Why then…" Ahri started transferring her anger into sadness. "Why do you say you love me if you can't even stay with me for more than one day? I don't bite!"

"Please don't cry Ahri. I realize that I've left you too many times before, but I can't let ten years of my life go to waste just to come back to Ionia. It isn't right!"

"My concern Udyr…is that you're either lying, or you aren't coming back this time. I'm scared of losing you."

Coincidentally, from what Udyr was planning to do at this point, both of Ahri's answers were correct. Udyr wouldn't let up though. "It isn't going to happen. Can't you trust me?"

"I don't know Udyr…I trusted you ten years ago, I trusted you one week ago, how many times am I going to need to trust you."

Udyr couldn't lose any more time. He grabbed Ahri, and put her on the couch, while Udyr was on top of her. "I've never done this before. Forgive me, Ahri. This won't be the last time you see me." Udyr used an ancient Chinese kiss that stole Ahri's spirit essence that was keeping her awake. It was the same sort of kiss that Ahri uses on her opponents to steal life essence, however this was very much a skewed version. "I will come back. Just wait for me."

"Udyr…" Ahri stood up as Udyr was trying to walk out. Udyr couldn't believe it, but Ahri somehow got out of the trick. "You really think that the creator of that old trick would fall victim of it? I will say, you have become a good kisser in the time I haven't been able to see you."

"You always were a sly fox, Ahri." Then, he had one last idea how to get away from Ahri. He would use his thoughts to talk telepathically to Annie, and get her to knock Ahri out.

'Annie, where are you? I need you down here!'

'What are you and fox lady doing?'

'Arguing, but that's not the point. I need to finish my plan, and I need your help. I need you to knock Ahri unconscious temporarily using that force punch I taught you when you were young…well, still young.'

'Okay. Hear that Mr. Tibbers? We're gonna have some fun!'

"You made a small mistake though, Udyr.." Ahri walked back towards Udyr.

'Hurry it up, Annie!'

"Since you've been with me so long, it seems like you've been able to withstand my kiss with your own. However, I've been holding back for too long." Ahri blew Udyr a kiss, and Udyr got hit and started walking to Ahri. "I would usually pull people towards me with my natural charm, but you resist me so much that I have to get you to come to me."

Annie was walking down the stairs silently, and talked back telepathically:

'Look, Udyr, Annie's a Ninja Bear! Rawr!'

'Damn it, just knock her out!'

"Please just accept me, Udyr…" Before Ahri could seal her lips on Udyr, Annie landed her force punch in the back of Ahri. Ahri was knocked out cold, and fell forwards on Udyr, and Udyr put her back on the couch.

"This time, you won't easily wake up. Good work Annie, you really are a genius to learn such a technique so soon."

'Now that this is done, I need to go see the blind monk who sealed my fourth spirit: Lee Sin. Then, I'll retaliate with Nidalee, and get on that boat to the Freljord.'

"Annie, I'm going to have to leave for a while. Please look over Ahri's body, and make sure she doesn't leave. If she wakes up, just knock her out again."

"Tehee, sounds like fun! Mr. Tibbers and I will be cheering you on, Master!"

'It wasn't much, but that made me feel good. I have seven hours to find the blink monk and get on that boat. Nidalee, I'm on my way.'
