Ch. 11-The Waterfall
"Asami… what's wrong?"
She and Kenshin were outside the cave. "Nothing."
"That face says a lot more than 'nothing'," he said gently. "C'mon, tell me."
"You're sister told me that you are the heir to your clan's leadership, and that you need to have children… something only I can provide."
"Heh… hahaha!" He couldn't help himself from laughing.
She frowned. "What's so funny?"
"Leave it to my sister to say that. No, you should not feel obligated to do that kind of thing. I've never really been a fan of having kids. That idea seems pretty sketchy, sketchier than a Smeargle. No, don't worry about it, princess. Here… c'mon. I'll scrub you, princess."
She blushed, then said, "Alright."
The waterfall was gently pouring down overhead, and it pooled into a clean river below. They both walked into the water, the river level almost reaching their belly fur. "Lie down, princess…" he said gently, and she obeyed, her head above the water. He gently whispered to her. "If you're uncomfortable with this sort of thing, you can wash on your own…"
"No, please! I mean, I'm cool with that!"
He grinned. "Just relax your body, princess. This will help relax you."
She gently felt his paws along her back, gently rubbing her. It did feel really good… then she felt his tongue slowly licking her neck, and she felt her entire body shiver. She let out a gentle moan, and felt him stop.
"What was that for, princess?" His voice was teasing.
"Oh, just my… breathing… Kenshin… have you ever been curious?"
"About what, princess?"
"About… you know… 'fun'?"
"Well, not really. I mean, personally, I've never really thought about finding an actual mate until…"
"Until what?"
He spoke softly. "Until I met you. I was pretty horrified about the thought of us being related."
She felt her body become warm. "Oh. That's…"
"But, I'm kind of scared of… well, you know, sex. I mean, yeah, people say it's fun… but..."
"But what? She pulled herself to her paws, and said, "Your turn."
They rotated positions, and continued their conversation as she cleaned his back. "Well, what if it's actually painful? And a kid seems like a lot of responsibility… hell, I'm only fifteen! But I'm kind of curous," he said shyly.
She slowly licked his tail, and it curled in pleasure. "You know, I'm a little scared too. I have terrible experiences with that kind of thing… as you know. I mean, whenever they touched me or something, it hurt. I don't know if it was mentally or physically but… well, your touch doesn't hurt."
He stood still for awhile, then gently stood up, and then gently rolled her onto her back. She should have stopped him, but she didn't. She trusted him. She felt his paws touch her belly, gently feeling every muscle and bone, and she let out a small gasp. "Kenshin…"
He reached leaned over and gave her a kiss. "Princess, for the first time, I think I'm really curious."
"Kenshin… no. Please… not now…"
She felt him freeze. For a moment, she thought he might have said no, but he bowed his head and pulled away from her. "Of course, princess. I… got a little carried away. Sorry…"
She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. "Don't worry, Kenshin."
"Dammit!" It was Ko.
Mitsuki giggled. "Looks like I'm the winner, Ko. You're on the bottom, tonight!"
"Those little… they bet that we were going to have sex!"
Suddenly, Mitsuki and Ko stopped. "Oh, they heard us!"
"Run!" shouted Mitsuki.
"Princess, let's get them!" said Kenshin. She grinned, and they chased their friends into the cave.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Yumi had been cooking some berries when they got back inside, and offered them the food. "I saw you two, Kenshin. You two are so adorable!"
"Shut up, sis. I remember you when you were in love."
She laughed. "I'm not teasing you, it's the truth!"
The four of them ate up, then got ready to sleep. "Ko… you owe me!" said Mitsuki.
He sighed. "You're always on the bottom. It's ritual…"
"Not tonight!"
"Fine…"
"Hang on, you two." It was Yumi. "You two making love could be very loud, and the three of us need to sleep. Go deep into the cave, and we shouldn't hear you."
They nodded, then went in deeper into the cave. Kenshin and Asami curled up. Kenshin gently licked her ear. "Goodnight, princess."
"Goodnight, Kenshin."
He lay down for awhile, and her gentle breathing told him she was asleep. Damn… she looks beautiful… Even though she was a sun pokemon, the moonlight on her fur looked absolutely amazing.
"Brother."
"Yeah, sister?"
"She's special. I can tell."
He frowned. "How?"
"Trust me. When have I been wrong before?"
She did have a point. Yumi had been a lot like Kenshin before, naturally stealthy despite her bright colored fur, and very calculating. But she had been best known for her unnatural beauty, and her habit of embarrassing suitors. Then she'd met Tsumochi, the Manectric, and ran off with him.
"What are you doing here? In the forest, behind a waterfall? Wouldn't you look for a nice volcano or something?"
She sighed. "I thought you'd ask that. You see, it's not about type. It's about what mentally soothes you. I have a broken heart, the sound of pounding water helps, even for a fire type."
He frowned. "A romantic as ever, sister."
"Shut up, poet boy." Which was true. Kenshin was a good poet. In his free time, he would frequently write nature poems, and it was great for meditation.
"You know, brother… you should take good care of her. She's your match."
"How? You barely know her!"
"The look in her eyes, the wistfulness in her voice… she yearns for you. And you share similar characteristics."
"Yeah yeah, whatever. I'm sleeping," he said with a yawn.
"Goodnight, Kenshin."
"'Night, Yumi."
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
"Achoo! Ugh…" Natsuko sneezed. Jikami looked at her.
"You okay, Natsuko?"
"Yeah, just cold." The past few days had been very interesting. They had been travelling to Jikami's homeland, which was in the Northwestern part of the land.
"We'll take a stop at the next town," said Jikami.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Asami had the strangest dream that night. She was standing on the edge of a large cliff, and looking down, she saw a giant shadow beneath her, radiating eeriness. There was something wrong… she was falling! The shadow seemed to be pulling her in… She was drowning in the shadow!
She tried screaming, but no sound came out. It was choking her! Then she saw a figure in the distance. The figure was far away, and all she could see was a dark glint in its eyes. That was all she remembered before drowning in the shadows.
"Asami! Wake up, princess!" It was Kenshin. "Princess, are you okay?"
She was breathing hard. "Yeah, just had a nightmare…"
He licked her ear, and said, "It's okay, princess. It's okay." He embraced her, and she let herself be comforted by his warmth.
She closed her eyes, and fell asleep again, and had a much more peaceful dream.
In her highly inappropriate dream, she and Kenshin were making love, not rough and fast, but gently. He would kiss her, and she would moan, and…
"Princess? What in the name of Arceus are you doing? First, you start screaming, and now, you start moaning? I'm trying to sleep, princess!" Kenshin spoke scoldingly, but his eyes were good natured.
"Sorry! I just had a dream…"
"Was it a happy one?"
"Yeah… it was…" She stopped herself and blushed.
He frowned. "Tell me, what kind of dream was it?"
"A good one!" She giggled, and said, "Is it time to get up?"
"Yeah…"
She yawned, and pulled herself to her paws. "So are we going to get out of these woods by nightfall?"
"Probably… I'll check with my sister. She knows this place well. Wait… hang on… I smell something…"
"Oh, what is it?"
"It's a…" It was too late. He was struck in the back with a thunderbolt.
She turned around. "Jikami!
"P… princess! Are you alright?"
"Jikami! What the fuck are you doing?"
"I… I thought he was giving you trouble!"
She sighed. "That was Kenshin, my boyfriend! I can't believe you just KO'd him…" Behind the prince was Natsuko, the sex-crazed Leafeon. "Oh, you again…"
She glared at Jikami. "I told you to talk to them before attacking."
He sighed. "Sorry, Natsuko…"
"What are you two doing here?"
"We were going to visit my hometown. It's up ahead, and this is the way through, so…"
"Oh, alright."
Yumi was watching curiously. When they saw her, she nudged Kenshin, and he woke up. "Mmph… that hurt, man… AAH! You! L… Leafeon!"
She blushed a little. "Yeah, sorry about that incident…"
He shivered at the memory, and then said, "Who are you, Jolteon?"
"Jikami. Prince Jikami. I take it you're Asami's man?"
He shrugged. "More or less. Is Natsuko yours?"
"Ditto. Like similar to you, but always transforming."
They both chuckled, and then Kenshin said, "You're a cool guy, Jikami."
"Same as you, Kenshin. I hoped that a princess like Asami would get a good guy. You don't disappoint!"
"Natsuko's a cute girl. She has a cute butt too…"
Jikami looked at Natsuko, who blushed. "Tell me about it…"
"Hey, what's wrong with my butt?" Asami couldn't believe she just said that.
"Nothing. Your butt is amazing…"
"What the hell, brother? You guys are so weird," Yumi snorted.
Ko and Mitsuki joined the conversation. "Well, I mean, a guy chooses a mate many times based on her butt. It's true…"
Mitsuki yawned. "What? That's what you chose me for?"
"ENOUGH! This is so fucking strange! First, these two come walking in and it seems you two recognize each other, even though you almost killed my brother, then you start talking about girls' asses?"
They all sighed. "Alright, sister. Do you two want to come with us? We're heading to the Northernmost tip of the land."
"Cool… I was going to bring Natsuko to my home, but we'll come with you."
Asami had to admit it sounded more fun. The friendly Jolteon and erratic Leafeon would create more company.
"Alright. Sister, since we've bothered you with all our talking, we'll leave now."
Yumi sighed. "I know. Come visit me rountinely and tell me how dad is."
"Alright. Bye sister."
"Bye, brother."
The six of them walked off, and kept a watchful eye out for weird pokemon. "Yeah, we got captured by Likitungs. You know, those fat pink things. We would have been licked to death if Asami hadn't saved us!"
"You sure save Kenshin's ass a lot, it seems," said Natsuko. "First, from the sex-crazed monster inside of me, and then from creepy normal types."
"Hey, Asami, I've been the guardian of your virginity. You would have been raped by about six or seven guys if I hadn't saved you, princess."
Asami was pretty surprised. Kenshin was really opening up now. The six of them talked as they reached the edge of the woods. Then Zun found them.
The first thing that happened was a giant Aura Sphere heading straight for Mitsuki. She barely had time to Protect before Zun stepped out of the cover.
"Stop, princess! You are going home right now!"
"No!" She quickly used psychic, but he dodged the attack and attacked her with dark pulse. Kenshin jumped in front of her and used scald to block the attack. The Lucario quickly jumped over to hit Kenshin with Thunderpunch, but Kenshin rolled out of the way and used hydro pump. The two of them ran around, dodging and running from each other. Jikami quickly joined in, and with his help, Kenshin was able to overpower Zun.
Zun glared at Kenshin, then said, "What are you gonna do? Kill me?"
"No. I don't do wanton killings. You were just doing your job."
"If you let me go, I'm forced to keep hunting you guys."
"I know. We're just going to neutralize you." He summoned a beam of water and told Mitsuki to freeze it before hitting him hard on the head.
He passed out immediately, and Ko asked, "What about his men?" The men had all vanished once Kenshin and Zun had started fighting.
"Probably ran away," said Natsuko. "What do we do now? We can't just let him get killed or something."
"Well, Natsuko, could you… I don't know… summon a tree or something underneath him?"
She frowned. "My power doesn't work like that… but I can cause another tree to bend its branched down to him, and lift him up like that. Might take awhile…"
"Asami, could you lift him up into a tree?"
"Yeah. I'll try…" She focused her effort on lifting him up, and put him gently on the tree. "There."
The six continued walking North, having evaded the trap that had been planned for them.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
"What? They escaped? How?"
"I… I don't know…"
Gotsume sighed. "I really need Asami back…"
A figure stepped out of the shadows. "My pack can take them out, easily, emperor."
Recognition burst into Gotsume's face. "You'd be willing to bring my daughter back to me, unharmed?" He stressed the unharmed part.
"Oh yes… but I'll need some sort of reward for getting her back," said the figure with a smile. "Like, her virginity?"
Gotsume gulped. "I… I can't… but… I…" then he sighed, knowing the most important thing was having his daughter back. "Agreed."
