The Fallen Guardian

Chapter Ten

Human Emotions

She was surprised. Her savior... had Ryujins eyes...!

"Are you alright...?" the young man asked with a deep, soft voice.

Melodys eyes widened. She stared at him for many seconds. Couldn't breathe.

After a half minute passed, she realized finally, that this human truly WAS Ryujin.

"Hey, are you alright...?" he asked again – this time more in an uneasy way. He was worried. Shaking her head, Melody replied stuttering: "I-I am a-alright... I g-guess at least s-so... M-My body isn't re-really injured or so-something... My arm hu-hurts a little, but that's n-no reason for worries." "I see..." ,he mumbled with a displeased undertone, "You are injured... and also confused because of my fail to rescue you at the right time, so that you are faced with THIS HERE... … I will not touch your hurt arm. As soon as I heave up your powerless body, I will pay attention not to harm you. Don't move nor try to do so in the next moment, by the way. I don't like that in a situation like this, when your whole life lies in my wings – or hands."

Ryujin seemed to be frustrated, but he was completely gentle, when he drew Melody up in no time. When she was again on the cliff, she blushed a little – because he was really without any clothes. But he didn't allowed her a longer gaze at his new human-body. Pulling her into his arms, she was fast as lightning huddled against his body. The first moment she was snuggled against his chest, Melody smelled the scent of his skin – aromatic like the ocean. There was really... no doubt... Ryujin had turned into a human... Maybe a sourpuss, but a real human; made of flesh and blood... This was very wondrous... She was unsure, how to behave in this situation...

He sighed. Sat back a little bit, so that it became more comfortable.

His arms around her were warm and fond, so that Melody started to like this strange moment while she rested on his (naked) womb. Even, when he was obviously frustrated, she became peacefully. Lowering her eyelids, she listened to his whispering voice: "I am sorry... I didn't mean to be harsh. But I feared so much... to lose you... that I couldn't control my temper any-longer... Forgive me... My willpower became too weak..." In that moment, his right hand glided over her back of the head. His fingers caressed her in a loving way. "I was so... afraid..." ,he added with a tired, weary voice, "My whole life seemed to be over, when I realized you could die..."

A little hesitant she put her right hand on his chest, before she asked: "How is this possible...? Changing your body into a human shape...? You're no 'special-Ditto' with such an ability... And even when there exists in this world a Pokémon which can truly take a human form... You are a Lugia... A Pokémon, which is not known for something like that..." He let the air slowly out, before he said: "Maybe some regular Pokémon have this skill. And maybe they are not even known as Legendaries. When humans can be able to fight like us... there have to be Pokémon, who are like your species. Remember the ancient stories you like. There was a time, when humans and Pokémon were almost the same. I don't think, that everything about this time-period is lost."

"This is not really... an answer of my question." she stated. "Because you wanted to know more, than I could explain you, even if I would know more about this phenomenon. I only know this... The case of my ability. And the reason for it, as well." Ryujin replied calm. "And do you tell me?" After her question, a few seconds passed, before he answered: "Yes... But I am not sure, how you could react with that new information. At last... You seem to have trouble with my appearance. More, than I expected..." "Yeah, because I never expected you – the human-hating Lugia – to have such a talent. You never accepted us since I know you, until you started to look at me as a friend. So, how could I think about you being in a human body and nothing else but that? It feels like... there was no choice for you, when you switched your shape..."

"This is... true... I had no choice... My talent, if you want to call it like that... is very fixed. Defined. This human-body... is the only other body I can have. And it ages in the same way like my true one. But of course adapted from the way a Lugia matures. I'm over one-hundred years old, but this body could be not much older than yours, because I am still young for a Lugia." Ryujin told her.

Melody raised her head in order to look at his face. He allowed her that doing – held her not as tight as before, so that she stared now into his beautiful eyes with a small distance between their faces. "What is the secret of this ability...?" she wondered. A shy smile glided over his lips: "My soul..." Surprised, she raised her eyebrows: "Your soul...? Like your spirit or something of that kind?" "Exactly... … I have a soul... which is very different from the exemplars of other Lugia..." "Please, could you explain me everything you know about it...? It's hard... to imagine." she whispered.

His left hand glided gentle over her back. When Ryujin spoke, his voice was a little weary, but also calm and patient: "My soul... has not the same 'form' like my body. The shape is different... and so, my soul turns me into an animalistic being, which has nevertheless a connection to another race... Your race, to be veridical. I am a Lugia... with a human soul. Thanks to this part of myself, I am able to switch between my true form and that of my soul-self. I'm animalistic and human in one; unfortunately the same moment. My emotions are influenced by this fact..."

For a short moment he closed tired his eyes. But when he opened them while Melody watched him worried with widened eyes, a soft smile appeared on his face. "By the way... My soul is the reason, why I was as a child so much into the human species. Why I had the strong wish... or... rather need, to befriend at least one human. To have... one human best friend."

~C~

Shyly, Melody put her right hand on his cheek. "Is this... also the reason for your... feelings...?" "Perhaps... And perhaps not... I am not sure... Pokémon can love humans, even when they have regular, inhuman souls. They don't even have to own a body, which matches the human shape. Because of that, I can't explain you, why I fell in love with you – if it depended on my soul or not. However... Does my ability... Does my soul... change something about... your feelings?"

She was surprised because of his doubt. Immediately shaking her head, she answered fevered: "Silly! Of course not! As if I would care for a strange ability like changing one-selves appearance! For me, everything which counts is your heart! And in addition: Why should I have a problem, when your second shape is human...? Please, I AM a human!" "Alright..." ,he said hesitant smiling, "Then, I would be grateful... if we could talk later a little more about our feelings. At first... there is something else, which I want to do... Let us go home. Home, to our friends. And when we are back, I need to apologize to everybody because everything which happened is based on my identity as the legitimate Guardian of the Sea." Melody gazed thoughtful at him. "Do you feel... maybe guilty...? Ryujin, everybody knows who you are. You don't have to apologize." With a sadly smile on his lips, the Lugia in a human-body said: "There is something, which I learned from you in the last months... Others are not unimportant for me. I am even able to love... And so, I will be a true friend for those, who risked their lives for saving me. I will apologize for concealing the fact who I truly am. Furthermore, I will thank my saviors. And I start to thank nobody else but you."

Careful, he leaned against her forehead. Looked deeply into her eyes, before he closed his eyelids. Then, he placed his lips tender on hers. The feeling was somehow different... Lips of a human instead of a beak-like mouth felt much more adequate... But Ryujin was nevertheless the same. Passionate, for a moment he showed her his feelings with a soulful kiss.

When he moved back a little, he whispered: "I remember, that you wanted to use the nickname, which my father had for me... You can call me Natit now and then, if you want. I will not complain about it, as long as it remains as a nickname. Because I like it too much, when you call me Ryujin." A little embarrassed by his offer, Melody accepted unsure: "Okay, if you really think it is alright..." Softly caressing her back, he replied: "Of course it is... After all, I love you... … Later, when we are again alone... you will believe more in my decision and emotions. I promise."

After that, he put her gentle on the ground and stood up. His whole body started to glare in a pure, white light. Melody couldn't see him anymore; his whole body was meanwhile not visible. Particles with the shape of down feathers – glowing also in that beauty light – came from this phenomenon. In the same moment, the happening started to grow. It took only a few seconds, before she could see the result of this doing. When the light subsided, Ryujin was again a Shiny-Lugia.

He kneed in front of her, when he said calm: "Get on me. I can take you home, finally."

"Already strong enough for flying?" she asked smiling while climbing at his back.

A little amused, Ryujin answered: "Needless to say. Because you are with me."

~C~

They flew to Johto, Goldenrod City.

As both expected, their friends and some Police officers were already in the Tamer central office. Being busy with the last formalities after imprisoning the criminals including Lawrence, they didn't notice Ryujin and Melody walking into the building. But that was just for the first moment. Then, just Lucaris recognized his Tamer as well as his comrade. Happy and exuberant the Lucario ran into their direction and embarrassed Melody laughing, so that the others noticed them.

"You should have seen us!" ,he said excited, "After you two lured that flying scrap heap of a wannabe-building away, Lawrence had no chance against me and Alex!" "Hey, you had help of us!" Melodys Roserade complained. "Yepp! Rose is right! We helped you with the final strike." Alexanders Dragonite added. "O.k., yes, Rose and Citrine assisted us." the Lucario corrected. "Remember the rest of us." ,Shina the Luxray said, "We were so lucky to assist the Champ. Alexanders other Pokémon and we beat together with Lance plus his team the last Dark Tamer, while everybody else was too tired. Even our comrades of Kanto were powerless. Don't forget to talk about the Police. They were almost dust or something like that. But we – we rocked!" "Oh yes, that was very amazing." ,Alexander said and came near to Melody and the Pokémon around her, "Somehow, you five focused your reserves for a formidable final. If you ask me, Lance and friends were really impressed by your moves. You should definitively fight someday against them."

"Hey, everyone..." Ryujin said abruptly with a depressed undertone in his voice.

Without warning, he lowered his head including his long neck and closed submissive his eyes.

"I... apologize...! I apologize for concealing my true identity...! You all had the right to know about the fact, that Lawrence III wanted to capture no other Lugia but me...! But I... I was so stubborn! Please, please forgive me...!" the Guardian of the Sea said desperate. Obviously, he suffered under his bad conscience. Melody put caring her hand on his left wing – and felt a strong shiver in it. "Ryujin..." she whispered. Abruptly, Alexander put his hand insistent on Ryujins right shoulder. When the Lugia looked frightened up, the dark-skinned Head of this Tamer central offices grinned: "Wow, I didn't know, that you're such a fraidy-cat! C'mon, we beat those criminals! Be happy, guy!" "B-But the fact, who I am..." "...is unimportant for us. We only care for the fact you're one of us. Nobody here is angry or upset just because you didn't tell us, that you're the Guardian of the Sea." Lucaris explained smiling. Alexander added: "There are just one beings here, who have a problem with your concealing of the fact of your identity. But I tell you: You can ignore the Police officers. It's not criminal to have some personal secrets. And so: Don't care for them!" Melodys Kricketune chirred gentle: "We all think of you as a friend. And we are really, really proud of you! Everybody, who belongs to the Tamer organization, thinks like us." After her words, Zirpiera made a sound similar to a victory-fanfare played with a violin.

"You all... forgive me...? Really...?" Ryujin whispered. Bippa the Bibarel smirked: "Yes! How often are we forced to repeat this? Look, I am currently a permanent genius now, but I would really like to have a little break from that. But I can't give in to my other emotional side, as long as you're not truly at home. So... Do us all a favor and be again the scumbag we are used to." "Oh no, you CAN change your personality by will...? Don't tell me, you annoy me that often with your silly-side, because you have nothing better to do..." the Shiny-Lugia snarled a little. Bippa shrugged: "Perhaps. Now and then, you make lots of fun while being irritated by me. However. Do you accept now our good will or not? Can you believe it, finally?" With a shyly smile, the Lugia nodded. "Great! Then, how about you stop being such a – like Alexander said – fraidy-cat and stand up with an upraised head? We all want our legendary meanie back, you know." Bippa said earnest.

When Ryujin did what the Bibarel wanted, Rose the Roserade said: "After we finished the boring formalities about the imprisonment of Lawrence and his henchmen... How about a celebration? Eventual, we all saved the world. And our friend is back. That is worth for a little party, if you all ask me. And because it's evening, we can celebrate our victory with a glorious dinner." "Nice idea. But just one question: Do you pay for all of us at dinner? At least for everyone who is here? Everyone, who is NOT from the Police?" Mukuru the Staraptor asked. "Oh come on, as if a dinner would be sooo expensive." ,Rose replied, "Especially after we all got a nice bounty on head for Lawrence III – the most dangerous collector on the world!" "Bounty on head?" ,Ryujin asked with lifted eyebrows, "You all got already some money for the heroic act?" Alexander explained: "Because Lawrence was dangerous – even more, than we all expected – the payment was very... generous. And so, it would be a good idea to use a part of that money for a wonderful dinner." Shaking his head, Mukuru mumbled: "Saving of new money is not your strength." Lucaris laughed: "You're too reasonable, old friend. We can indulge ourselves at least one time!"

The Staraptor looked helpless at Melody, but his Tamer giggled: "Sorry Mukuru, but this idea sounds just too great. Besides, you don't have to use your part of the bounty. I'll pay for your meal." He smiled embarrassed: "O.k., if that's alright for you. … What about you, Ryujin? Do you eat, too? Or do you prefer to be alone, because you have no interest in such a grand dinner?" The Lugia was silent for a few seconds, before he answered with a demonic grin: "Of course I will come with you. After all I owe this event my saviors. Don't you agree?" With folded arms, Alexander said smiling: "I guess, everybody agrees. But you don't have to call us 'saviors'. You're a hero, too. Without your and Melodys action to lure the fortress away and to destroy it, we wouldn't be here like that. … Well, that's enough talking. Let us all – apart from the Police – go into the best restaurant of Goldenrod City! This will be the best evening since months!"

~C~

Alexander was right. It was indeed the best evening since a long time.

Melody spent a wonderful evening with her friends and comrades – everyone was happy and jolly because the long hunt of the collector Lawrence was finally over. Ryujin, who hold himself nevertheless back, seemed certainly to enjoy this (a little chaotic) celebration. Staying close to her and the Main Six, he remained the whole time at the party, though it was a little too much for him when many of the Tamer and Pokémon decided to dance on the dance floor of the restaurant. Clumsy as he was as a Lugia on the ground, he preferred to watch instead of risking his luck. (Perhaps he could turn just into his human shape, but Melody didn't ask him for that. At first, he had no clothes, so that he would have more than one trouble. And second, she wasn't sure if he even thought about that possibility. Maybe he didn't want to show others this secret. At least, he acted obviously unsure whenever Bippa and Alexanders Dragonite Citrine advised him of their theory, that his bond to Melody was a sign for interesting emotions. When he had already trouble with that, then it was the best to wait with releasing the fact of his human soul plus ability of shape-shifting. And to be honest: The magenta-haired girl was not in a hurry. She loved him – and so, she wanted him to feel well. Only he had to decide important things like that.)

When they came home after sunset, only Melody and her Lugia were alright.

Because the Main Six had overact dancing after the dinner, they were now very tired after traveling. Lucaris couldn't really stand, while Bippa (again a silly) let himself already fall on the ground. Mukurus left wing was unworkable – in his eyes probably a paroxysm – while Zirpieras feed hurt very much. Rose had backache and finally Shina had numb paws. As their Tamer, Melody ordered her friends to rest in their bedroom – and because her Pokémon were no longer in the mode for some jolly activities with an exhausting factor, they followed well-behaved her wish.

While Melody was in the bathroom, Ryujin decided to accompany the Main Six for a few minutes. Before they would sleep, he wanted to spend some quality-time with them. As his friends, he had great interest into their health – as well as into more details of this day. Curious, he wanted to know everything which happened when he wasn't around. And because Melody understood this, she had no problem with his little visit. In truth, she was grateful for his care. Apart from his curiosity, Ryujins mindfulness in front of her friends was noteworthy. Usually, he wouldn't like their doing and weakness (typical for a scumbag), but today was different. And maybe... he was different, too.

She wore already her short white-beige pyjama and sat easygoing on her bed, when Ryujin came finally into her dark room.

"Our patients are alright?" Melody asked him smiling. Closing the door with his beak-like mouth, the Lugia grinned: "They fell into sleep, when the last exaltation was finally gone. It was amusing." "Hehe, I guess so. They can be very cute, when they are tired." "Well, I wouldn't say cute, but... They are indeed entertaining after a long day and lots of talking about it." he noted.

A little hesitant, the Shiny came near to Melody. Sat on the ground, while he gazed into her eyes. "You don't want to sleep now, right..." she decoded his behavior. "Yes... Because I promised you, that I will talk more with you about our feelings..." his thoughts echoed in her mind. Careful, Ryujins right wing touched her back, while he watched her silently. He seemed to be in two minds about that situation... So, Melody put slowly her hands on his cheeks, before she said: "Alright. Maybe we should decide at first, how to interact with each other from now on. Or, to be more clear: How do you want to handle our relationship now? In the end, it is your decision. It all depends on your will to be near to me. How much near you can accept between us."

He sighed: "Such a way of debating is... so reasonable... I should be thankful for that... But... I... can't be grateful... Currently, I don't know how to control the emotions inside of me... I don't know anything about the right kind of dealing with them. But furthermore I don't feel well, when we are reasonable while talking about our feelings. I want it to be more... affective. Because I know surely, that I love you... I want to be... close to you... And I want the others... to know that... Of course, today I wasn't able to explain Bippa and Citrine, that they were right – that I allowed a connection between our hearts and souls because I love you. But I will be able to agree, when someone asks me about my feelings for you – if you are in that way important for me. That's why I want to talk... rather in the way which you do normally. I want to be... open. But it's... hard..."

Melody caressed loving his face. With a gentle smile she replied: "Then, everything is very simple. You can show me, how much near you want. And if you feel better to know it: I would like to have as much near to you as possible. I want you to be that, what we humans call a boyfriend. A partner. And I wish for everything, which counts to that fact. Because I love you so much."

~C~

His eyes widened. Breathing became suddenly harder.

She wanted him... to be her... boyfriend...? Her partner...? The one for her...?

When he realized Melodys words, he couldn't stand his overwhelming feelings anymore.

It needed just a few seconds to take his human form. The light of his shape-shifting was not even completely gone, when he pressed his lips uninhibited on Melodys. With closed eyes, he kissed her with his full desire. Immersed his tongue deep into her sweetish mouth. Moving passionate, he held his truelove meanwhile gentle in his arms. Melody answered his feelings – embraced his neck and paid back his kiss. In order to be more close to her, Ryujin moved on her bed. Together, they sat now on the mattress and shared a long, unrestrained kiss.

While they did so, he felt like he would be in heaven. She huddled him against herself so loving... Her embrace was fulfilling... Her hands glided tender over his skin – the feeling became exciting, when she caressed his chest with her right hand, while the left was on his hips. It was unbelievable. And not to mention her kiss in the same moment... Her tongue moved so dulcet...

The Lugia in human form gasped, when the girl he loved suddenly put her hand on his sex.

"Wha-What...?" he moaned confused and moved a little bit back. When he gazed at her, his truelove smiled just innocent. But naked as he was in this situation, he became nevertheless nervous thanks to her unexpected touch. Though, the feeling was... pleasing... Her whole action was... wonderful... Not putting her hand away, Melody whispered: "It's probably a little too early, but... Please, Ryujin... … Could you... take my clothes off...?" He gulped hardly; not only because of her words. Her fingers glided a little over his member... Letting the air slowly out, the young man nodded: "Yes... If you really wish for that..."

Hesitant, Ryujin undressed her step by step. And while he watched her beautiful appearance intent, slowly his body started to act strange... His heart sped up. His breath became uneasy. His body heated fast. And his sex... became hard... and taut... He had never felt this before...

Then, she was naked like him... Silently he put his hands on her shoulders. Glided careful with them over Melodys tender skin. A smooth smile appeared in her face, when he touched fondly her breast. His voice was quiet, when he stated throaty: "You are like an angel..." "Thank you... But you, too." Melody entwined loving her arms around his upper part of the body. Answering her doing content – nestling her against himself, he felt relieved the warmth of her whole body. Her skin leaned pleasing against his own... When they shared again a long kiss, so that a warm feeling rose in his womb, Ryujin slowly understood it... The strange reactions of his body became clear. Also the responses of Melodys body. He realized, what her passional behavior meant... And that he wanted it, too...

~C~

"Are you absolute sure... you want to do this...?"

His question was shyly, because this would be her first time...

She shouldn't waste this moment with someone, who was perhaps not worth for it...

"Yes, I am sure. I couldn't imagine anyone else as my mate for the first time. I will not regret it." Melody replied confident. It was relaxing that she guessed his thoughts. With a soft giggle he said: "Alright. Then I will give my best to please you. To make you happy. But be patient with me, o.k.? After all... It's not only your first time." Her eyes widened and her mouth swung open. Surprised by her reaction he studied her expression puzzled. Ryujin wondered: "Is something wrong with me...?" With raised eyebrows she answered earnest: "How on earth can a beauty Lugia like you not...?" Before she could finish her question, she had obviously no air left. Stared at him. He couldn't help but laugh relaxed about Melody. When she sulked, he came down and explained: "It's very simple... I had never... the need of doing so... Never felt passion for another creature... I had some offerings – and all of them were very attractive and almost ardent. But I had no interest. Not even the most beautiful female of my own race was enough to awake those feelings inside of me. I had no desire – no longing. Not even... love. Maybe... I was too dead inside of my heart for this. Not only too dead for my human wants, but also for the animalistic need of mating."

Her hands touched gentle his face. Sad sympathy was in her face when she whispered: "I... I'm so sorry for you... I didn't know, that you was even... lonely in that way... Maybe you told me always, that you preferred being alone... But furthermore I thought always, you would be no... virgin... Excuse my stupid opinion..." The human-like Lugia shrugged his shoulders calm. "You don't need to feel pity. Nor to apologize. … See... Now, I am here... And I truly have emotions, which I could never imagine to have in the past. Before I met you, there were no emotions like that in my heart... But now... My heart is filled up with happiness and love. Of course I am still who I am – a meanie... However, there are parts inside of me, which are once again awake. No longer lost in the moment when my father sacrificed himself for me. My heart is again able to love... It is like a true miracle... I am so... grateful for that gift... Thankful to feel so much... Thankful for... the fact, that you are really by my side... And so... grateful for your love for me..."

Careful, Ryujin sank with Melody in his arms on the mattress. Snuggled her against his chest. "Ryujin...?" she mumbled. "Hm...?" "Will you... not regret it to be my... best friend...? My partner?" "Of course not... I will never do that. And I will never regret it... to succumb my emotions for you." After he told her his opinion, he pressed his lips once more on hers. Glided deeply with his tongue into her sweetish mouth. Suddenly, she rolled without any effort on his body. Her legs pressed strong against his hips... and while she kissed him passional, her sex nestled up against his member. He groaned quietly. With a throaty voice he begged: "Wait..." "Why? You want it, too, right?" "Surely, but... Let us start... slowly... Unhasty. I am of course a man, but I cherish this moment... Savoring every second is very important for me... Don't forget: I am not like the others. I want this – but I also want to become acquainted with the body of my truelove."

Melody blushed: "U-Uhm... Okay. But I want to get to know your body at first." "Agreeable. Then, what can I do to help you with that?" he wanted to know with a demonic grin. She smiled confident: "Oh, just let me do what I want to do. That's all." He let the air out, before he answered: "Fine... Enjoy yourself, until it's time for me to have pleasure with you..." "Hehe, I will have lots of fun. Don't worry. … Now, be a nice Lugia. Lie calm on the bed and relax."

He did it. Lay in her cushions and let her do whatever she wanted.

With closed eyes, he allowed her to touch his body everywhere she could imagine...

Heat flowed trough his chest when Melody caressed it. He gasped a little, once she suddenly pressed her lips against his skin. Slowly, she spread kisses on him... This felt alluring... Her hands glided soft over his hips in the moment his truelove started to lick his chest... Ryujin gulped hardly the minute the tip of her tongue touched his left nipple. She licked him there for a long moment – only switched between his both nipples. But he felt a weak, but nevertheless existing impatience growing in her action. Somehow, she became unsatisfied... He didn't know the reason for this... Then, Melody answered his silent question without knowing it: Abruptly, she closed her lips around his right nipple. This surprised him – he moaned quietly. It was so... wonderful...

The Lugia in human shape became a little overwhelmed in the moment the magenta-haired girl started without warning to suck on his nipple. His fingers gripped strongly the sheet under his body. Opening his eyes a little bit, he stared at the ceiling. He was aware of her fingers, which glided gradually into the direction of his womb... The heat grew in his body step by step... And his breath became snatchy and throaty – more and more, when her right hand started to circle his member... Her action – the way she played with him – was definitely... interesting... as well as frustrating. Maybe she sucked on his nipples very pleasing... Provoked his patience, to stay calm while she touched only the skin around his sensitive body part, in a thrillingly way so that his desire grew... But that was not enough for him as long as his sex wasn't touched by her fingers... He wanted that... And she refused him this favor... Long, exhausting minutes passed...

Closing his eyes again, when a wave of lust flowed through his womb, he crunched with his teeth. "Melody..." ,he whispered with a croaky voice, "Don't play with me..." He heard only a giggle. Annoyed, he wanted to sat up quickly, but suddenly her right hand held him down. To be correct: Her fingers grabbed his taut member. Leaning back into the cushions, he moaned a little louder. Panting for air, Ryujin felt how she started to rub his sex... While she did so, Melody glided slowly down his body. Obviously she wanted to touch more parts of his body... He stopped breathing... During her movement against his member, she licked patient with her tongue along his chest, stomach – even along his hips... His heart skipped a beat in the second her lips touched his member. Loving, Melodys mouth fondled the members beginning as well as Ryujins sensitive scrotum – which let his whole body cringe uncontrollable. One-two minutes passed before he was inured to it. Again relaxing, the Lugia in a human shape savored her touch now... In the end, he wasn't used to Melodys doing, but nevertheless everything felt so... good... and dulcet... It calmed his mind... Normally, his thoughts were restless... and in contrast... she soothed the uneasy spirit...

Abruptly, she licked the tip of his sex...!

The feeling was beyond words... Ryujin didn't know, how to bear that...

He panted quickly for air, while her tongue touched him with more and more pressure...

Oh... She surrounded slowly his member with her lips...! And then, Melody began to sulk it...!

A strong moan sounded in his throat. Her doing was too much... His truelove demanded too much self-control from him... Ryujin fought against the overwhelming need, but it was useless... She was everything he had wished for... And so, she gave him so much in the moment she let him plunge deeply into her mouth while sulking... He had to let it happen with himself... He needed... so badly... the sexual climax... Now...!

~C~

'No...' a tired voice echoed in his back of the head.

It was a strong wish of his heart... The wish to please HER before having himself an orgasm.

Concentrating his whole willpower, he groaned with his sexual arousal: "Stop... Please... Wait...!"

Melody got frightened by his deep, weary voice. "Wha-What's wrong...? Did I... hurt you, maybe? Are y-you in... p-pain...?" she stuttered. It took lots of his self-control to sat up instead of abandoning himself to his animalistic, ahungered need... Holding his temple with his left hand, Ryujin watched her with half-opened eyelids. "No, I am not..." ,he answered tired, "I am alright... It's just... I... I can't do that... Of course, I... need it... much more, than I can explain... I... want it... because YOU satisfy me... B-But... I need you... to be pleased... before I can... let me go..."

Her eyes widened. She wanted to say something, but he didn't give her the chance. Vehement, Ryujin pressed his lips against hers. Forced her in the same moment to lay into the cushions. Kissing her for a long moment, he fought against his lust... His member was too taut – it hurt... However, the human Lugia had the strongest willpower there was; he needed to be strong and patient, too, if he wanted his first time to become the most important night of his life. The night, when Melody showed him, that he was the one for her... … That's why he had to please her... Because of the wonderful gift she gave him when she had declared that she loved him.

Finally his lips moved back. "Relax..." he whispered with arousal in his voice. She gazed at him with eyes full of love, before she closed them trustful. He took a deep breath – her reaction helped his mind to stay more or less calm... Though he was nervous, Ryujin wouldn't lose control now... Melodys emotions for him were useful for controlling himself.

He started to caress his beloved human...

~C~

Their wants were more or less identical. He wanted to touch her chest, hips and of course her sex... But in contrast, his need was more intense than hers – almost violent, his desire flowed through Ryujins body. Only holding and kissing her breasts took lots of control... He wanted to knead them quickly and also uncontrollable... And because the skin of her breasts had such a wonderful scent, he wished for biting this as well as her flesh just a little bit... But he held back. As a Lugia – no one but the ONE Lugia, Ryujin knew how important it was to consider his environment. Maybe he was the worst Guardian of the Sea ever (and in the end a fallen one), but he hadn't unlearned to respect natural needs of others... He was still able to recognize, how far he could go. So he could sense Melodys need – but also her small uncertainty...

Licking her right breast with pleasure, Ryujin knew he couldn't do this night everything he wanted with his animalistic character trait. Not now... Surely Melody wanted to give him all she could give; surely she was ready for their... mating... However, she was a human. And it was her first time. Being no Lugia, she could have really often possibilities for having some pleasure... So, she wasn't bound to the nature, which forced beings to do the whole program even when it was their first time. Lugia were different. Even, when they weren't used to sex, they HAD to do it with all their strength. His instincts told him that – it was an irremediable fact. But she was a pure, innocent flower – Melody didn't succumb the force which make Lugia do utilize every rare moment of mating. (Remarkable, that Ryujin was thanks to his soul also not forced to mate like his own species did...) This girl could approximate the topic sex in such a beautiful, loving way... She could savor this great time! And dear god... He had this possibility, too...! So, he couldn't waste it with forcing Melody to take now his whole desire! They were both not used to the fulfillment and sexual arousal. That's why Ryujin wanted to take time for her as well as his own need...

Even when it cost some control, he licked and sulked pleasurably her nipples without appetent bites. Smelling her scent and hearing her piecemeal faster breaths of air, the Lugia smiled a little amused – in spite of his need which burned in his whole body. While he fondled her breasts, he recognized how useful it could be to own hands instead of wings. His movement was more target-oriented – allowed him now to kiss her breasts in the same moment his hands glided gentle over her stomach. With his great wings, such a doing would be rather problematical. A 'finger' of them was bigger than a normal (in his eyes small or almost tiny) human-finger. He couldn't touch her as directly as now, when he glided slowly with one finger of his right hand over her mons pubis... Surely, he would be not even able... to touch her... deeper...

Her gasp – after a soft touch of her clit – turned the Lugia in human shape on.

Forcing himself not to over-react, because a strong wave of lust flowed through him, he inhaled slowly the air in the moment he started to rub in slow-motion over her sensitive body-part. Like her, he glided down her body – but he had not the self-control to spread kisses on her stomach or hips. Another time he would have the strength to do so... But not now. Now, Ryujin needed his willpower to caress his truelove gently with his lips – without any wild action of himself.

Kissing her outer labia with closed eyes, he savored the feeling of touching her clit... She panted quietly with her tuneful voice – a sound from heaven... This moment... was perfect... He felt now, that he could do something more... moving... Hesitant, he opened his lips and let out his tongue. Glided with the tip over Melodys sensitive body-part, while his finger moved down to her vagina. Slowly he plunged a little bit into her depths... It surprised him, how wet and also warm she was... How... hot... she already was... Staying where he was, Ryujin took a little time to get used to this – as well as the sensation of licking her clit... When he thought, he was finally strong enough for it, Melody disturbed his willpower with another pleasing sound. This time, it was a beautiful moan... His nerves couldn't take such a thrillingly event.

Like a whisper he groaned, before his finger moved back. Before... he put his tongue into her.

Tasting her sweetish juice destroyed lots of his self-control. His movement became wild... Ardent. Holding her hips with both hands – thanks goodness not as strong as he needed, Ryujin fought against his lust as well as instinct. As a Lugia... this here was a naturally part of mating... And so, the legitimate Guardian of the Sea was maugre his human soul very helpless... Despite his body, which was clearly a human one, he needed so badly the heath; the taste of her depths... And Melody gave him even more, when she moaned now much louder... He felt, how near she was to let go... And the sensation around his tongue forced him to move on, until she had a sexual climax...

~C~

But his will was once again stronger.

With an almost painful groan the human Lugia moved back.

Ryujin squinted his eyes when he sat up and tried to regain his control... That was... bad... His mind was very near to lose the human aspect he had always because of his soul... Especially in the second before he had the strength to stop his doing... the animalistic side in his thoughts... was... too strong. He wasn't sure, if he could continue now... Of course he wanted it, but... Melody was too important – he didn't want to scare her with a human-shaped beast... In that case, he could also try to love her with his original body... (The most idiotic idea for a girl's first time.)

His thoughts were stopped by tender hands, which held his cheeks abruptly. Opening his eyes, Ryujin gazed directly into Melodys magenta-colored irises. A soft smile was on her lips. "Hey... What's wrong...? Is this here too much for you...?" It was surprising in a positive way, that she knew his personal pain so well... Actually, his truelove didn't need to read in his mind... He nodded: "Yes... I don't know... how to control myself any-longer... The beast in me... demands so much... Probably, it demands too much... I... I don't want to lose you... nor to scare you... And so..." "Running away is no option." ,she said simple, which irritated him, "When I realized that I love someone impressive like a Lugia, I knew it would be no 'normal love'. You are a born Pokémon, after all. And I didn't know you have the ability to take a human form. So... You can't scare me only because of the fact what you are. Especially... See, fortunately I know WHO you are. And that 'who' is the one who I love – not the 'what'. I love you as the person you are. It doesn't matter for me, which appearance you have. You are beautiful – in every body. Because of that, you can love me with every body you have. And with your full heart and desire. You will never lose me."

Ryujin shivered a little. And suddenly, a tear glided over his face.

"I... I have to thank you... You are... truly... the most wonderful human in this world..."

After he whispered those words, he huddled against Melody. With her gentle arms around his body, he let himself sink slowly – together with her – into the cushions. Holding her tight, he realized, how different he was in comparison with this young woman. Apparently he was an overconfident, egoistical being – he shouldn't care for his appearance when it came to mating... But in truth, he was more than afraid to love Melody with his original body because he didn't match her size very well... She, on the other hand, was a calm person who seemed to be too serious and good-natured for wild, unrestrained things. That she accepted him with every form, when it came to something like sex, was almost overwhelming... With an earnest look in his eyes, Ryujin gazed at her. "I will not be able to hold myself back... In the moment when I touch you... deeply... I'll have no longer self-control..." "I know that. Don't worry." she answered and kissed him gentle. With a demonic grin he replied: "Sometimes I wish I could be again so harsh and unfriendly... It is annoying, when you care for me and my stupid fears all the time." "Well, how about you switch then into your true shape?" "No... Not this night... Perhaps... one day... when I can take it to love you... like this... But now... I can't do something like that until I am able to deal with my animalistic side. And it is not only because I could become again easily a scumbag... Even, if it would help me to be truly confident... … See... Before I didn't love you in a human way... With human emotions... It would be wrong to have sex. Finally, I can be together with you... It took so much energy to stay away from you, that I don't want to risk now my great luck." Melody smiled like an angel: "I guess, I am the one who have great luck because you are much harder to hold than me." Relaxed by her words, Ryujin laughed quietly: "Perhaps... At least, it is hard to tame me, isn't it..."

~C~

After he pronounced his statement, he closed peaceful his eyes.

For a short time he savored still this moment before he succumbed at last his feelings.

Careful he rolled himself and Melody sideward – the result was, that she lay on her back while Ryujin hunkered over her. Looking glass-eyed, the Lugia in human shape watched her pretty face. This beauty angel was clearly everything he needed... His breath was very warm when he panted: "Melody... I... I love you so much... Without you... I would be... lost..."

Closing his eyes, he started slowly to enter her body, before she could have a chance to answer... Not, because she could reply something wrong... But because he feared to lose his regained control. And to feel her on the tip of his member, cost already too much mental strength. Gasping for air, Ryujin felt her wetness and heard a little moan coming from her ambrosial mouth. It was... pleasing. Gliding deeper, her hot depths stimulated his taut sex in an overwhelming way... The movement was deliberate though his sex forced him almost to do it faster... But nevertheless he moved slowly backward and forward. It was just wonderful... And because his truelove breathed as hardly as him, Ryujin felt safe with his acting... After a few minutes passed, a stronger need flowed through him... He hesitated to follow that instinct at first... But his mind became abruptly to weak for moving controlled in slow-motion. That was because of her doing. Melody embraced him – pressed herself passional against him... And so, he couldn't help but pushing his member intense into her.

He groaned when an unknown sensation raised in his whole body.

Thrusting full of desire into his beloved being was now the only thing he could think about.

For a moment he did so – hammered into her while she held him with relish. But Ryujin wasn't sure how to behave... correctly. It was her first time – it was YET her first time... Though he was busy with pleasing his lust, he considered more and more about the right way treat Melody... In addition, some parts of his need wished for her to control this intense moment... At least, until he was ready for her AND his own sexual climax... That was in the end the possibility he wanted at the most...

Again he rolled her and himself over the mattress.

Now, Melody was at the top. She gazed surprised at him, when their foreheads leaned on each other. "Move... Please..." he begged with a weary, ardent voice. He was still in her body – and she could probably feel how hard and needy his sex was... Her suddenly, loving smile touched his heart... Slowly he understood in every way where his place in this world was... The unsureness vanished – he became able to handle his animalistic side. He moaned relieved in the moment Melody kissed full of love his lips and started to ride him. Her doing was just... perfect... He recognized, how much this contact between them raised their feelings... His lust grew... and her desire, too... Holding her with a little shiver in his arms, Ryujin felt a growing pulse in his hot body... Oh dear god...

"I love you..." she whispered. "And I... love you..." he answered deeply moved.

The human Lugia started to buck slowly in Melodys rhythm.

Oh yes... Their movement was pure harmony. It was a wonderful, thrillingly sensation... Slowly, they came close to the climax. And this moment... could take eternity. But... it couldn't last forever, of course... Both were not strong enough for such a long time – nobody could be. And because of that fact, Ryujin felt that it was time to let go. Thanks to Melodys generosity he switched once more their positions – pressed himself against her; she did the same. Finally, he stopped bearing down desire, lust and love when he thrust uncontrollable and fast into her depths. He kissed her desperate because he didn't know whereabouts with himself in the swirl of emotions.

Waves of heat flushed over him – especially, when he felt suddenly Melody pulsing in his embrace. Hearing her long, satisfying moan... Realizing that she started to lose herself... It was too much... Ultimate, Ryujin became carried away with such an emotional wave, that it burst him almost... Unbearable the orgasm rushed through his body... His hot seed flowed with high-speed out of his exploding member... He couldn't help anymore... Ryujin screamed full of pleasure and satisfaction... Then – when his body shivered completely because of his salvation – he passed out...

~C~

One or two minutes after their climax Ryujin woke up again...

Melody held him gentle in her arms, while his body lay motionless on hers...

At first he hadn't the need of showing her, that he was already conscious. He was not completely 'back in his body' – besides of his eyes, he wasn't able to move anything... All parts were heavy – even his head, which rested on her chest, was unflexible like a boulder... How strange... He was human when it came to his body, but it felt as if his body was the original one – only much heavier and a little bit too paralyzed for a strong Lugia... What a shame to exhaust himself so much...

With half-opened eyelids he stared into the dark...

Well... There was at least something remarkable about his self-depletion... This special feeling... Unknown satisfaction flowed calm through his nerves. A pleasing impression – left by his orgasm. Currently another fact weakened this (it was a little bit hard to get air while his body was so heavy), but however, to feel good was a true luxury for him. It was always like that, so even a small light gladdened him deep in his heart... … Oh. The sensation became stronger, when he got the control of his whole body back. Also, it was curiously step by step easier to breathe when the relaxation purled lively like a river through his body-parts.

His brain worked now with hundred percent, after the exhaustion vanished.

Somehow he became embarrassed thanks of realizing his doing from a few minutes before...

On the other hand, Ryujin started to feel relieved and endless happy. Released from his inner pain, to fight his whole emotions back, the Lugia in a human shape turned his head in order to look into Melodys tender face. In the moment he caught sight of her loving expression, he smiled fondly. Before he could think about it, his truelove started quietly a new conversation: "How do you feel?" "Well..." ,he started with a weakly demon-grin, "I feel a little bit annoyed because I wanted to be the one who asks that." "Oh... I'm sorry... I didn't want to be impolite..." she replied serious. Giggling about her bad conscience, he couldn't believe to be the one who was lucky to be HER one. Ryujin put his right hand gentle on her cheek. "That was just a joke... In truth, I am so... grateful. This feeling in my body – in my heart is... more than words can say... Satisfaction like that is... something I couldn't ever imagine to feel one day for myself... It is a fulfillment, which captures everything in me... My body pulsates in salvation, so to speak... My heart shines with pure light... But... Tell me... What... What about you...? Are you alright...?"

She raised her eyebrows after he spoke his question. "U-Uhm, did I... hurt you...?" he continued. Worried, Ryujin studied her expression. A few seconds passed. Then, his truelove laughed tender: "Dear goodness, why shouldn't I be alright...? Ryujin... That was so... amazing! This feeling was breathtaking and stunning! I felt never something like this before...!" "Oi, couldn't you tell me that just a little bit earlier...?" he wanted tired to know. This girl... Why had she to play with him...? Surely he deserved it – he was normally such a scumbag... But now...? He thoughts were disturbed in the moment Melody caressed his back with both hands. "Please, excuse me that unfair action." ,she whispered, "It was just so unbelievable you could ask me, if your doing was BAD for me." Understanding, what she meant, Ryujin lowered his eyelids relaxed: "I see... Forgive me... This was probably a very idiotic reaction of myself... The climax was satisfying for me... And because of this, why should you feel something else, after I really managed it to deserve our 'mergence'...? Oh god, sometimes I am obviously the greatest idiot on this planet..." She giggled, so he started to sulk a bit. "My 'taste' for humans is absolutely... wondrous." he stated quietly. A grin in her face followed his minimal frustrated words – and then a wonderful kiss of her soft lips. Firstly he ignored her doing – resisted Melodys temptation. Bearing her movement without any motion seemed to be easy now, because it was truly unfair how she treated him – someone who was reverential called a guardian. Counting on his new-found inner calmness after the sexual release, Ryujin waited for her to stop. But – why did he even expect something else? – she moved on. A minute passed...

"Dear god, I hate you still sometimes..." he whispered relenting with closed eyes under her lips. Giving in, the Lugia in human shape answered the great temptation of his life. His tongue plunged full of desire into her ambrosial mouth. "H-Hey..." she tried to say something while he kissed her. "Forget it..." ,he broke in on her words, "You wanted a kiss – and I give you indeed the attention." Not giving her a chance, Ryujin let this moment last more than almost three minutes.

~C~

The look in his caramel-eyes was provoking when he moved back.

His forehead lay on hers, when Ryujin grinned overconfident – a little bit scumbag-like...

Melody answered his grin: "O.k., I got it... I'm a bad girl when I bother you like that. If I apologize, do you feel better then...? Because I would like to see you again happy plus fulfilled after we are now officially a couple." He breath in for a few seconds. "A couple... This phrase is so... moving... Just to think about it... Just to think... that I am truly your mate... … Alright... I stop my sulking. And you don't have to apologize. Because you are mine – in the same way how I am yours... So... Girl, would you mind... if I continue the kissing to show you my feelings...?" She shrugged: "Oh, I'm not totally sure... After you was in the past such a meanie... I can't trust you, right?" Smiling, Ryujin relished her tender hands gliding softly over the skin of his cheek and back. "I am afraid: Someone like me isn't worth for being trusted." ,he answered at first in a playful manner, "But... Maybe one day... When I deserve it after a long proof of our relationship... Then, when our friends and everybody else know that I love you... When that time comes... we will be more than a couple. I'll be more than just a regular partner, who is yet not worth for being yours."

Melody stared overwhelmed into his promising eyes. "Ryujin..." ,she whispered with a weary voice, "Do you want to say... Do you... want... to... ma-...?" With a short, tender giggle he leaned his lips on hers in order to interrupt Melody. "Ssh... I am not good in things like that... So, don't talk further. Please... At first, I will need lots of strength to reveal the secret of my heart. The secret of my soul – my second form, too..." he explained with closed eyes. Opening them again a little bit, the Lugia gazed loving at her hopefully face. Caressing Melodys body, he continued after a pause: "One day... When I overcome every outside fear or incomprehension and my own hesitation as well as doubt... When I call myself again truthfully the Guardian of the Sea... Then... I will beg you to be officially and forever by my side... … But until then... Be patient with me. I will need lots of time to become much more than a scumbag." Melody nodded: "Fine, I wait. As long as we can be together like now, I am already happy. Because I'm glad to call my proud, absolute stubborn Lugia in the same time my beloved partner. My settled, tamed loner." He smiled and huddled relaxed against her. "Yes... Now, I am truly tamed in every way... … Well... You don't mind, if I continue with something, hm?" A confident smile glided over Melodys face, though she tried to bear it down. Innocent she asked: "What do you want to do...?" "Let me say it that way... I want to have again some fun with you. Only another harmless, little play."

They shared a long moment just smiling at each other full of love and joy. Caressing each other. Then, Ryujin started once more to affirm his feelings for Melody. She answered him passionate – changed several times the position with him in order to intensify the whole feeling. To savor it... Making love was this time maybe a bit shorter because of their previous exhaustion, but it was nevertheless thrilling or rather satisfying. The strong hunger of lust and desire became once again completely allayed by their deep mergence...

When he lay tired in her arms – feeling the climax still ebbing away – Ryujin nestled up against Melodys soft skin. They were already under the blanket because not only him had now the need of sleeping for some hours (or days)... Melody corrected just the blanket, so that this thing entwined proper around his back, before she cuddled fond with him.

Closing his eyes and relaxing in her embrace, he knew with relief for the first time after decades that he had finally a true home... Someone, who loved him with his whole heart... When he glided slowly into a calm sleep, he gave Melody telepathically all the pure feelings which flowed through his body and mind. She answered him with the same doing, so that a 'lullaby' of an overwhelming, fulfilling love guided Ryujin gentle into the dreamworld...
