The Way The Wheels Turn Chapter 7: Holy Blades
I don't think we have much to say. Same here, man. Your girlfriend is waiting for me anyways. Oh ha ha, nice try. She's too good for you. Jackass. We don't own halo.
Ghost was sitting on the couch, moving around restlessly. He had been like that ever since he was told he didn't have to be on guard all the time, about a week ago. It all started fine, the first day he and Riyo watched a couple of movies and she told him some stories; some from her life while others were Sangheili fairy tales and legends. The second day started out pretty strange, Riyo woke up to find Ghost doing a handstand. But instead of just staying like that or walking around he was doing a weird form of push-ups. Riyo watched from the bed, admiring Ghost's muscular form from there, they had started sleeping together more often and Ghost's room became more of a place for him to keep their items. The third and fourth day seemed fine but Ghost had started standing up and walking more and while he was sitting one of his legs would start shaking. The rest of the days until their current predicament, Ghost's restlessness had increased. He would either be working out a lot or would just get angry easily. One time Riyo startled him and got tackled to the floor. Ghost almost immediately got off her and lowered his head apologetically, she forgave him after coming out of shock though. Riyo looked at him from the other room, her exercise room that she used a lot to keep in shape. She felt really bad for him, she didn't think it would be this bad.
"Ghost? Everything alright, baby," she asked as she ran on a treadmill. A little bit of sweat ran down her face. Ghost didn't respond much; he growled and grabbed his hood and forced it over his head and face. He apparently always needed something to do, even standing still counted to him since when he did that he had a purpose in mind, which was to guard. She thought of ways to help keep Ghost occupied, she looked around the room and figured he could use the exercise.
"Would you like to, I don't know, lift some weights or something," she asked, worried. Ghost looked up immediately, thinking on the subject. After a few moments of consideration he got up, grabbed his katana that he placed by the couch since he still likes to carry it around, and walked into the next room and went straight to the weightlifting bench. He lifted up the bar; it had around fifty pounds on it. He put the bar back down in its rest and then added an extra three- hundred pounds to it. He took off his hoodie and placed it on a hook on the wall next to the one with Riyo's robe. He then lied down on the bench, and started lifting it with some difficulty but not much to worry about.
Riyo watched him lift the bar with great ease for a few minutes until she couldn't breathe and started getting sore from running. She got off the treadmill and walked over to a chair with a towel a little bit away from him. She watched him for nearly an hour and a half; she was struck awe by both his strength and his stamina. She watched as Ghost's energy was starting to drain to zero. Ghost had started snarling with each lift, but that eventually turned to panting and wheezing until he finally put the bar back on its rest. He quickly sat up and lifted his arms over his head, revealing his soaked shirt that had started to stick to his chest, making a vague outline of his muscle structure. Riyo felt as if he was secretly getting back at her, the look of his muscular chest and stomach just barely visible through his sticking shirt was strangely erotic to her. He was breathing heavy, his chest growing and shrinking with each puff of breath. Riyo shivered with excite.
Riyo got up and walked over and sat on a stool next to the weight bench. Ghost looked over at her and smiled at the sight of her. He couldn't help but love her image, she was wearing a pair of pink shorts and a white tank top, she had obviously had done some shopping while on Earth, all covered in a light layer of sweat. The sight of her slight athletic build being accentuated by her attire was just torture on his restraint. He had to keep himself from going crazy with lust, but his method was a bit unusual. He curled up his index finger a little, and then bit it hard, his sharp teeth causing a small gush of blood to spill out. Riyo gasped a bit, and then after a minute she laughed when she realized why he did that.
"You upset that I haven't allowed you to do anything yet?" she asked in a husky tone. She got up and sat on the end of the bench and tossed a leg around to the other side of the bench, now with both legs on opposite sides of the bench. She was now facing Ghost with his finger still in his mouth. She then placed her hands on the edges of the bench and leaned forward ever so slightly, spreading her legs a bit more. He looked down at the area between her legs and saw that she was not wearing any undergarments, mainly because he could see her most private region. The sight brought Ghost to bite down harder, causing more blood to come out. She laughed and removed his hand; his index finger had started twitching when she removed it from his mouth. Ghost then quickly wiped the blood off his face and chin as Ryo used the towel to wipe off the blood on his finger. He tried to reach out to grasp her, but his hand was slapped away. He whimpered sadly and looked up at her.
"Your species sure does know how to make tempting clothing," she said lustfully. She saw the large bulge in his jeans, and smiled greedily. She reached over to him and stroked it a few times. He jumped in surprise, and then groaned softly. She stopped after a quick second. He looked at her when she stopped and growled angrily. She didn't take it seriously, so she just smiled and gave him a cute wink. She got up to get her water bottle, but when she grabbed it she dropped it with full intention. She bent over to pick it up, and as she did her shorts started to ride up, giving Ghost a good view of her posterior. He had his mouth agape as she picked it up and it remained open even as she went to the small shower room to clean up. Ghost was sitting on the floor cross legged when Riyo came out wearing a clean robe. He could see her giggle at his almost childlike position. She pointed to the room, indicating it was time for him to clean himself up. Ghost quickly got to his feet and went towards the room, receiving a wink from Riyo when he passed.
It was about 11:00 in the morning when a flash of light started going off. Ghost ran towards the flight controls, in a clean new pair of clothes, and tried to see what was going on. Frank popped up in front of Riyo who was sitting on the couch reading a book.
"The ship is in need of repairs, we need to dock at a station so Ghost can make the repairs," he said.
"Shouldn't we have someone who knows about these ships repair it, like Engineers," she asked rather confused on why Frank was so specific.
"Ghost can repair anything; he is basically a human Engineer. Plus he doesn't really like Engineers, they interfere which eventually leads to him shooting or stabbing them," he said the last part with a smile that gave Riyo the creeps.
Ghost came back into the living room, giving a thumbs up, Riyo looked a bit confused. Frank said that he already told Ghost and had sent a signal and then vanished in thin air. Ghost looked at Riyo then walked over to the couch to sit down by her.
Frank popped up in front of the two around four hours later, Ghost was in the middle of making sandwiches for him and Riyo since they forgot to eat lunch. Even though he didn't wear his armor he still had his katana strapped to his back, Riyo had noticed this earlier and found it pretty cute. Once Ghost was done making the sandwiches, he walked towards Riyo and handed her one while he wolfed down the other one.
"The battlecruiser Holy Blades will be letting us dock," he said. Riyo gasped, easily giving the impression that she knows the ship.
"That's the famous ship that was converted into a city after the war," she said with delight. She looked at Ghost with the look of a child you just told was going to Disney Land on her face.
"I'll be sure to get us a nice hotel room there, for the stay. How bad are the damages?" she asked Frank. He chuckled and looked at her.
"Well you'll be happy, the repairs will take even Ghost about a week; there was an engine malfunction that caused quite the domino effect to the rest of the systems." Ghost even smiled at that, he loves to work with machines. Riyo saw the smile on Ghost's face and put on a pouting face, which caught his attention.
"Don't think that you won't be spending anytime with me, you little animal," Ghost blushed when she said that in front of Frank, causing him to look away as he did.
The battlecruiser had caught up to them around an hour later; Ghost had gotten into his armor and was at the flight controls as he landed the ship on the battlecruiser. Once they were landed he and Riyo stepped out of the ship and were in the hangar they were told by a rather large Elite that the ship's captain would be with them shortly. After waiting for over an hour Riyo seemed to be getting agitated and tired. After her fifth huff in the past ten minutes, Ghost looked over to her. She saw him looking at her out of the corner of her eye and she looked towards him, he just gave her a nod to try and help her calm down, it didn't work.
Another hour passed and they were still waiting in the hangar bay for the captain of the ship. He finally arrived and explained that their ship would be kept here until the on board Engineer could get it repaired. Riyo saw that Ghost didn't like the sound of that, she could tell because she saw his left arm stiffen in the regions not covered by armor. She would then explain to the captain that she would be more comfortable with Ghost repairing the ship, the captain looked at her with a look of pure confusion as he looked at the large, armored figure standing next the mistress. He spotted the katana and the toolbox slung on his back and just said that he'd allow it. Afterwards the captain motioned towards a Shadow transport vehicle. Once they were all on with Ghost and Riyo on the side seating and the captain at the controls, he told them that he would be taking them to the rooms they'd be staying in until their ship was repaired. He told them that Riyo would be staying at one of their best hotels while Ghost would be given a room at the Guard's barracks. Riyo told him that Ghost was staying with her, to which the captain immediately tried to convince her otherwise. She tried to convince him that Ghost would be there for her protection, to which she had to explain that he was a member of the UNSC assigned to her guard until they arrived at Sanghelios. The captain still didn't seem too convinced, that was until the captain stopped the Shadow suddenly and Riyo was almost thrown off, that was until Ghost wrapped his arm quickly around her. That had done it for the captain and he said that he would be allowed to stay with her.
When the captain left them at the hotel, Riyo got them their room keys and they were headed to the room. Once they were in the room Ghost went to a corner and got out of his armor and Riyo went into the bathroom. Ghost sat on the bed after getting into his clothes and placing his toolbox on the desk in the far corner and leaning his katana beside the bed, well within his reach. When he looked towards the sound of the bathroom door opening he saw Riyo wearing a pink laced bra and similarly styled panties. She strode over to him, his mouth wide open at the sight of her; she sat by him and stroked the quickly grown bulge under his jeans. When he went to grab her she moved his hand away. He had about enough of her teasing and snarled like a really pissed off dog, but it quickly went to a high pitched yip like sound when she squeezed his member. He glared at her slightly, that was until she pulled out a pair of handcuffs, dangling them in front of him.
"Lay down, I'm going to cage the animal," she said the bad pun in a sexy tone. Ghost was both excited, but also confused.
Ha! Cliff hanger. Nobody likes cliffhangers. Too bad!
