Chapter 9: A Dance With Death
Seifer and I walked into the restaurant on the ground floor of the inn. "Somebody had sex last night," Brett responded when he seen us.
"What?" Seifer asked. "What are you talking about?"
"OH YES!!! THAT FEELS SO FUCKING GOOD SEIFER!!!" Johann yelled mockingly.
"You asshole!" Seifer laughed. I could feel my face begin to heat up from embarrasment. Everybody else was laughing at Johann.
"Look everybody! Eternity is blushing!!" Xu exclaimed and that brought more laughter from the group.
"Oh come on Eternity, it's nothing to be embarrassed about," Mathias told me, "Everybody has sex and yells like that. It's only because it feels so good."
Seifer slipped his arm around my waist and told me telepathically, 'Don't worry about it, at least they know that we are getting some action,' I looked over at Seifer's face and he smirked.
'What if they think I was a slut or something?' I asked him back.
'Don't worry about it, our sex life isn't anyone else's business but our own,' Seifer replied.
Seifer and I took a seat at the large round table and Mathias slid a couple of glasses of orange juice towards us. "Might as well drink something that gives you energy."
Seifer took his glass and took a drink. I noticed Solaria had a mischievous grin and she said, "From the way these two are acting, I'd say there are wedding bells around the corner."
I heard an unusual sound coming from beside me. I turned my eyes and saw that Seifer was choking on his drink and he covered his mouth. He coughed for a few seconds trying to gain control of his breath. He looked at Solaria and asked, "What?"
Brett began to hum the Wedding March song. "Oh come on people, cut them some slack, they're still young so there is plenty of time for them to get hitched," Johann replied.
I looked over at Seifer again. He sighed deeply and he looked out the corner of his eye at me. 'These people are relentless,' he told me telepathically, which got a smile from me.
"Can we come up with a different topic?" Seifer asked the group. "I do not think our sex life is an appropriate thing to discuss because that is private."
Johann turned to Mathias and asked, "When are we going to get married?"
"What?" Mathias asked in surprise.
"When are we going to get married?" Johann repeated.
"You know that sort of marriage isn't allowed anywhere," Mathias began.
"You don't love me," Johann replied in a mocking hurt tone.
"You know that isn't true!" Mathias clearly didn't notice Johann was playing around.
"I spent the best six years of my life with you and we are not going to get married? The horror!" Johann continued.
"If there was anything I can do about it, I would marry you in a heartbeat. The laws on every continent are the same on that subject, so it is impossible," Mathias was still in the dark.
I was trying my hardest to suppress a laugh and it worked until Xu let loose a rain of laughter of her own. I soon joined in as well as everyone else.
"What?" Mathias demanded as his gaze fell on us all. He looked at Johann who was smiling.
"I was playing around with you about the marriage thing," Johann told Mathias.
"Oh," was the only thing Mathias said.
"I know you would marry me if the opportunity presented itself," Johann replied. He leaned over and gave Mathias a passionate kiss. I looked over at Seifer who watched them with a look of disgust but he said nothing.
"What's the plan for today?" Glory interrupted.
Mathias broke the kiss off and told her, "We are only going to patrol the town today. We will have backup from the various mages with us."
After we finished eating, Mathias stood up, "Time to get to work gang."
"What do we wear?" Xu asked. "I mean, do we wear our cadet uniform or what?"
"We will wear whatever is the most comfortable. We may be hired as SeeD and cadets, and we must wear our uniforms most of the other times, but I will let the rules slide the time we are in this town," Mathias answered. We all stood and began filing out of the room.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Seifer lay on the bed, he watched me undress. I was still a little shy taking my clothes off in front of him but I knew it was pointless trying to be modest since he had seen me nude already. "What are you going to wear?" he asked me.
I walked over to the small wardrobe and opened it. I took out the black dress that I loved and showed it to Seifer. Seifer smiled and gave me a thumbs up sign. I turned away from Seifer and began to dress. After I was finished, I turned my head to look at him, and he had his penis out of the zipper of his pants and he was rubbing his hand up and down the shaft.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"What does it look like?" he asked me. "I'm masturbating."
"Why?"
"Watching you change made me horny," came his reply. I crossed my arms across my chest and watched him. He continued with what he was doing while smirking at me. "Wanna join me?"
"We're suppose to meet the others as soon as we finish dressing," I reprimanded. He did the 'come here' motion with one of his fingers but I stood in my place.
"What if I die while fighting a monster? This could be my last time to get off like this," he grinned.
"You shouldn't joke around about dying," I told him.
"Oh come on, it can happen you know. At least flash me some breast or pussy so I can finish up here."
"So it's all about sex for you?" I asked.
Seifer stopped rubbing himself and replied, "You know that isn't true at all. We should be able to have sex and mess around and not have it be all about sex. Come on Eternity, you know me better than that, but when a guy gets horny he has to relieve himself otherwise he won't think about anything else until he does."
"There is a time and place for it though," I told him.
"True, but even if I agree with that, my cock doesn't because it has a mind of its own. I can try and make it go down, but it may take a while to do that, so jacking off is the fastest way to fit in my pants."
I continued to stare at him. "Come on, I need help here," he laughed. "Trust me, it won't take long if you help me." I gave him a defeated sigh as I realized he was right. We had a schedule to keep. I made my way to the bed and Seifer told me, "Get near my head and sit on my mouth."
I did as he said and lifted my dress. Seifer parted my panties with his other hand and got to work on my vagina. He sucked on it and inserted his tongue. I turned my head to see him masturbate again. After a couple of minutes of pleasure, Seifer moaned with pleasure and white liquid shot out of the tip of his penis. Seifer took his hand off his penis and kissed my vagina a few times before putting my panties back the way they were. He patted my knee in a sign for me to get up. I did and he looked down at his pants.
"Damn it! I creamed all over my pants!" he laughed. He scooped the semen up with his fingers and licked them. "My cum is so good." He offered his hand to me and I put one of his fingers in my mouth. I swallowed the substance and smiled. Seifer stood up and went to the dresser. He had brought his clothes into my room a few days ago and we now shared the room. Seifer slipped out of his pants and threw them on the nearby chair. He took another pair out of the drawer and put them on. After he finished he asked, "Ready?" I nodded.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seifer and I made our way to the group outside. We noticed everybody looking toward the sky. "What's up?" Seifer asked.
Xu pointed and answered, "A Ruby Dragon!" We turned our eyes up to see the dragon and it was flying above the buildings of the town.
"Should we attack?" Johann asked.
"I think we should wait and see if the dragon will attack first. It may be just exploring the area," I replied.
"Yeah, we don't want to cause any unecessary damage," Mathias agreed.
"We'll attack if it attacks anything or anyone first," Solaria told us.
A few minutes later, the Ruby Dragon landed and began to walk on all fours through the town. It spotted a group of mages and roared. Before the mages could cast any spells, the dragon blew fire from its mouth at them, killing them on contact. We all watched as the mages who were standing in the little group, all crumpled down to the ground dead.
"That's it, attack!!!" Mathias yelled. We all ran in the direction of the dragon and surrounded it. Some of the local mages came with us and gave us support in our battle.
"Does anyone have any bow and arrows?" I yelled.
"Over here!" somebody yelled. I turned to the voice and ran to the mage Rosa. I took the items from her. I strung an arrow into the bowstring and pulled back. I noticed Seifer watching me. I aimed at one of the Ruby Dragon's eyes and let the string go. It flew in the air towards its target. It was a dead-aim shot, however the dragon used its tail to slap the arrow away from itself.
I handed the bow and arrows back to Rosa and told her, "These are not going to work on this opponent. It's probably best if you saved your ammunition for when you need it," I smiled at her.
Solaria waved her whip around her head and struck the dragon's hindquarters. That act angered the dragon and it used its tail to swipe at Solaria. She barely ducked in time. Mathias used his gun to shoot at the tough hide, however the bullets didn't even pierce the skin. "Damn it! Regular attacks won't work!"
"We need magic!" Johann yelled back to Mathias. Mathias nodded in agreement.
Seifer ran to the dragon with Hyperion drawn and he slashed at its stomach. The Ruby Dragon sliced the side of Seifer's stomach, making a deep gash in it. Seifer winced in pain and held his stomach to keep from losing alot of blood. "Eternity!" he gasped. I wanted to help Seifer with a Cure spell, but he was too close to the dragon.
'If you don't help him, he may die!' my inner voice reasoned with me. Finally I couldn't take it anymore and I knew I had to help Seifer. First, I turned to the Ruby Dragon because before I could do anything else, that monster had to be dealt with before anyone else was injured.
I raised both of my hands and yelled to the others, "Stay out of my way! I will get rid of this dragon myself!"
Solaria looked at me like I was crazy, "You are not even a SeeD Eternity, let us handle this!"
"We have trained fighting Ruby Dragons before, we can handle this one!" Mathias yelled at me.
"You haven't ever defeated an enemy this strong Eternity," Glory said.
"She knows what she is doing," Seifer managed to say. "Let her do her thing and stand back!" Seifer struggled to my side and watched me with intense eyes. The other five relunctantly did as Seifer demanded and watched me as well.
I sighed a deep breath and slowly let it out as I concentrated. A black circle of energy engulfed the dragon as my Maelstrom attack began. Dark purple lightning bolts began to flash within the attack as it did its damage. After the attack was over with, I immediately began my Ice Storm attack. Cool mist surrounded my hands for a few seconds, and when there was enough, I turned the mist into many sharp blades of ice and shot it toward the dragon. The ice blades pierced the dragon's chest and it instantly died even before it hit the ground. Its atomic particles began to break up and disappeared into the air, as it usually did when things died.
I turned to Seifer, who was kneeling on the ground. I knelt beside him as the others watched. I waved my hand as the Cure spell took effect and completly healed Seifer's wounds. He looked into my eyes and he slowly leaned in closer to my face. All of a sudden he began to kiss me passionately. I returned his kiss willingly and then broke it off to put my head against his chest. Seifer sat all the way down on the ground and wrapped his arm around my back.
"That was close," Seifer told us. He looked down at his blood soaked clothes and shook his head. "My favorite clothes are ruined."
"You should be grateful to still be alive," Glory told him.
"Yeah, if it wasn' t for you Eternity, I would be probably be dead," he replied solemnly. He hugged my shoulders tighter and kissed my forehead.
"You should get changed," Mathias told him. "You're a mess."
"Thanks alot," Seifer told him with a hint of sarcasm in his voice and a small grin on his face. Seifer looked at me and asked, "You wanna come with me?"
I looked at Mathias and he gave me a slight nod to let me know it was okay. I nodded to Seifer and we both stood up. We made our way back to our room and along the way we had many stares. I knew everybody was looking at Seifer because of how much blood was on his clothes. Lulu noticed us and she came our way.
"Are you alright?" She asked Seifer with concern in her eyes.
Seifer nodded, "Yeah, Eternity healed me after our battle."
"Battle with what?" Lulu asked us.
"A Ruby Dragon," I answered.
She held in a gasp and told us, "Ruby Dragons are rare in this part of the world. What in the name of Hyne is going on around here?" She thought for a moment and then told us, "Oh forgive me, please don't let me keep you from getting cleaned up. I must go and speak to somebody about something." With that Lulu headed in another direction.
I looked at Seifer and he asked, "Shall we?" He raised his hand in the direction of the inn we were staying at and I nodded.
