A few months later...
With winter having passed, the last few months of the training program began passing by. Some of the soldiers seemed anxious for things to come to a close, yet others felt like they didn't want to leave the island just yet.
Ani and Nage were snickering to themselves, hiding in the bushes in the forest.
"…oh man, I can't wait till Jill lures Raider into the woods," Ani chuckled. "I know she doesn't like him…but I'm glad she decided to be part of this!"
"Me too." Nage nodded. "Oh, this is gonna be glorious! We should've found a way to tape this, too!"
"Actually, Sonia's gonna get a video camera!" Ani said. "She just has to get here before Jill brings Raider over!"
"Oh, that's awesome!" Nage laughed. "Man, I can't wait to see the look on his face... or at least what we'll be able to see!"
"…Sonia!" Suddenly, Ani saw the rattlesnake approaching and Ani waved. "Sonia! Over here!"
Smirking, Sonia hurried over to the duo, and hid within the bushes. "I got the camera ready. Do we know when Jill's coming over with him?" she inquired.
"Soon-ish." Nage nodded. "Just watch; this is gonna be sweet."
"Aw man! I'm getting' impatient!" snickered Ani.
"Hey, sssh; someone's coming..." Sonia said with a hush to Ani.
Sonia was right, someone WAS coming. Two figures were walking toward their direction in the woods. "…it's them!" Ani gasped with a whisper. "Sonia, start recording!"
"Gotcha." Nodding, Sonia took out a camera, and began recording the scene.
"Okay, so…you hate me with your guts, but you say you want to talk to me?" Raider followed an impatient, irritated Jill into the scene, with her stopping at glaring at Raider. "Oh, I get it. You want to tell me off, don't you?" Raider figured with a fold of his arms.
Jill took out her notepad and wrote. Then she handed the noted to Raider.
"…So you want me to leave you alone once and for all, huh?" Raider smirked, crumpling up the note. "Fat chance."
Glancing at Ani, Nage began mouthing the words she spoke, so Raider wouldn't hear them. "...on my mark... spring it."
Ani nodded.
Jill folded her arms and glared at him some more. Then she turned…right as Raider grabbed her wrist. "Now where are you going?"
Sonia narrowed her eyes.
"...on my mark..." Nage mouthed, as she narrowed her eyes. "...ten... nine..."
"Now, you and I are gonna settle something here, so it isn't polite to walk away," Raider chuckled, yanking Jill closer while she tried to struggle out of his grip.
"...six... five... four..."
"I'm not gonna leave you alone," Raider snickered, grabbing Jill's chin to make her look at him. "Not as long as you and I are on the same island, and whether you like it or not, I'm gonna try and keep coming onto you…"
"...one... now!"
Ani jumped up and pulled a rope she had in her hands. "Surprise!"
Raider released Jill, and gawked. "Huh?"
"Too late!" both Nage and Sonia laughed, and with those words, the trap was sprung.
A piece of rope that had been concealed lassoed Raider's ankle and he shot up into the treetops, shooting through the leaves everywhere. "AGH!" he screamed, while Jill watched this with a growing smile. Nage's grin grew wider with every passing moment, whilst Sonia caught every second on tape; having a bemused expression on her already.
Ani was laughing her head off, and while the rope connected to him kept getting yanked with her telekinesis, she watched as Raider got more and more tangled up in the ropes up above.
The more he got tangled up, the more Nage began losing it; but she kept her composure as best as she could.
"…AGH!" Raider plunged through some weird, gooey stuff stored up there in the tree tops, and while he was covered in that stuff, he struck another pile of something; feathers.
Nage was getting closer and closer to losing it; but still, she kept her cool.
Finally, Raider fell back down from the trees but he dangled in the ropes that he was tangled up in. Covered and stuck with feathers, he felt disgusted. Ani used some of her telekinesis to move the ropes, and to Raider's horror, his arms and legs started moving. He had become Ani's marionette.
Ani laughed, "It worked!"
"...and now, the coup de grace." Chuckling, Nage took out a CD player. "...Sonia. You got this, right?"
"I got it all here." Sonia chuckled.
"...aaand..." Nage chuckled again, when she stopped. "...oh, Jill; move out of the way, please; we need all of this on tape."
And she pressed PLAY.
Jill moved out of the way, so that the camera could get this, and when the music started to play, Ani started to move Raider.
His eyes widened. "…no…n-no! NO NO NO!" But he had no control over himself whatsoever.
It was at this point that Nage just lost it, and began rolling about on the ground. "YES! Dance, Raider, DANCE!" she cackled.
Embarrassing flashbacks of his previous experience of this flashed through Raider's mind, and suddenly, he blurted out, "THERE WAS NO WAY ANY OF YOU COULD'VE KNOWN ABOUT THAT!"
"...guess again!" Sonia sputtered; as she tried holding the camera steady in the midst of her laughing throes whilst filming this.
"SONIA, YOU PUT THAT FUCKING CAMERA DOWN OR I SWEAR!" the dancing chicken Raider roared, as the others just laughed.
"No can do!" Sonia laughed, as she didn't heed Raider's warning one bit.
"Now we have our own blackmail against you!" Ani laughed. "You harass Jill any more, and the entire island sees this video Raider!"
"Hell, make that harass anyone!" Nage shot in with a laugh. "That way, he won't bother anyone again!"
Raider screamed in anger while Ani continued to make him dance, and Sonia kept recording the whole thing.
Wandering through the woods, Demi glanced around him with a hum. With today's training done with, he didn't have much else to partake in; especially since Crystal and Dax were busy with King at this moment in time...
…while wandering, he suddenly spotted someone sitting on one of the logs in the woods, picking petals off of a flower.
"...ah... Oblivion." he uttered, as he began approaching her.
Oblivion didn't notice Demi come toward her; she seemed lost in thought, really… Demi noticed this, so he stopped a bit away from her, before clearing his throat; to get her attention. Oblivion blinked and looked up.
"…Oh! Demi!" she said.
"...hello, Oblivion." Demi said with a nod. "How are you doing?"
Oblivion smiled a little. "I'm doing alright…how about you?"
"...can't complain, really." Demi replied, as he smiled a bit as well. "You're not too busy at the moment, are you?"
"Not at all," Oblivion said.
"...then... maybe we could talk for a bit?" Demi suggested.
"…sure…" Oblivion said with a nod.
Sitting down by Oblivion, Demi looked at her. "...so... what have you been up to, recently?"
"…nothing much, really; not since Christmas…" Oblivion said. "…how about you? How is training going?"
"It's going well." Demi hummed. "No mishaps or anything to speak of, really."
"…that's good," Oblivion said.
"...though..." Demi hummed, as he rubbed his neck. "...Blood... I haven't gotten him to speak to me, yet..."
"…oh, you haven't, huh?" Oblivion murmured.
"...not a word from him," Demi sighed. "Though... at the very least, I haven't allowed him to take control on his own accord."
"…that's also good," Oblivion said with a smile.
Then she was suddenly yanked up. "AGH!" By her hair again, no less.
"Oblivion…I have a job for you…" growled a very murderous voice.
"Wha- hey!" Quickly, Demi shot up to his feet, and looked up at this tall figure. "Let her go!"
"Not a chance," growled a feathered covered Raider, fuming vehemently.
"Wh-wh-what…do you want…Raider?" Oblivion uttered, wincing in pain.
"…They…humiliated me…like you wouldn't believe…" Rauder snarled.
"…have you ever…thought of the fact that maybe…you deserved it?" Oblivion said, glaring at him.
"SHUT UP!" and he yanked her hair again to make her cry out.
"...stop that!" Quickly, Demi grabbed Raider's wrist, to try and break Oblivion free from his grasp.
Raider was strong enough that he just pushed Demi aside. "Stay out of this!" he roared at Demi when he landed on the ground. Oblivion was in enough pain that she was crying now.
"Raider, leave him alone!" she uttered.
"As long as you're coming with me!" Raider said, and he started yanking her away. "We're erasing that prank they ever did out of their heads and we're gonna destroy that tape!"
"...I told you to let her go, you bully!" In a desperate move, Demi shot to his feet, and ran to kick Raider in the only place he knew he could do some damage; between the ox's legs.
Raider stopped, and he winced at the kick, but then he shot a powerful punch right at Demi's face.
"Demi!" Oblivion uttered out, fearful for his welfare.
That punch sent Demi flying back considerably, as he mercilessly slammed against the ground. Coughing, Demi rubbed his face as he slowly tried getting on his feet. "...l-let... her... go..."
"C'mon!" Raider just ignored him and kept walking with Oblivion in his grip.
"...d-don't you ignore me..." Demi uttered, as he stumbled a bit. "...I told you... to let her go..."
At that point, he suddenly rushed right up to Raider, and grabbed the ox's arm.
"Take a hint!" And Raider tried shoving him away.
This time, however, Demi kept clutching to Raider's arm; to the point where his nails were even digging into the arm.
Raider winced at that, "Ow!" And tried even harder to try and push him away.
But Demi kept his grip strong. "...let her go."
Raider growled. "Fine!" but instead of just letting her go, he threw her against the trunk of a tree. Oblivion let out a yelp, and sat there, holding her sensitive scalp from all that hair pulling.
Demi actually hissed at that. "...you should've just let her go." he uttered.
"Maybe I didn't feel like it!" Raider growled at him. "Just what're you gonna do about it, huh?"
Demi narrowed his eyes. "...I'm going to teach you... not to harm her anymore."
Raider smirked in amusement. "Oh really?"
"...really."
And at that point, Demi suddenly slammed Raider down to the ground with a single motion of his arm.
Oblivion jumped when she saw that, gawking silently while Raider groaned in agony at being thrown down.
With a frown, Demi suddenly stomped his foot down on Raider's chest.
"OOF!" Raider grunted at that, actually feeling some strength behind that. …what the hell? He thought.
"...are you listening?" Demi grunted, as he kept pressing his foot down on Raider. "You keep away from her... or else."
"Alright! Fine! Fine…" Raider murmured. "…I'll leave her alone…"
"...you'd better." Demi hissed, before he kicked Raider a bit away. "Now get lost."
There was a lot of force behind that kick; enough that Raider rolled a bit before he got on his feet and hurried away. Damn, looks like I'll have to find another way to get that stupid tape! He thought to himself.
Watching Raider leave, Demi just huffed...
...and all of a sudden he held his head, as he sank down to his knees. "...guh..."
"…Demi?" Oblivion got up weakly and limped over to him, setting a hand on his shoulder.
Demi held his head. "...h-he..." he uttered weakly. "...he... aided me..."
Oblivion blinked. "…Blood…aided you?"
"...y-yes..." Demi nodded. "...when I was struck by that ox... Blood wondered if I really wanted to help you... and I said yes." Then, he looked down at the ground. "...so... to protect you... he lent me his strength."
Oblivion knelt down and still looked at Demi silently.
…after a while…
She wrapped her arms around him in a hug. "…tell him I said thanks…" she said.
Demi blinked a bit at that... before he returned the hug. "...I will." he replied.
Oblivion got up then, helping Demi onto his feet.
"...thank you." Demi hummed.
"…y…you're welcome…" Oblivion murmured.
Clearing his throat a bit, Demi glanced a bit awkwardly to the side.
"…well…" Oblivion felt a bit awkward too. "...perhaps, I should…get going…"
"...maybe... I should head off, too..." Demi uttered in response.
"…well…I'll see you around, Demi…" Oblivion said, turning to walk away.
Demi nodded, as he began walking off as well. "...see you later, Oblivion..."
When they were out of each other sights, once again, Oblivion couldn't help but look back once more. …I…don't understand why I felt so…awkward… she thought.
As he walked, Demi's thoughts began wandering as he rubbed his arm again. ...why did Blood give me power to protect her...? And... why do I feel so...
…n…no, I can't feel like that about someone! And Oblivion turned and ran.
...could it be that...? When Demi turned to look back at Oblivion, she was already gone. ...huh... With a sigh of disdain, Demi wandered off as well.
Raider got cleaned off, and a few days passed. He spent a lot of time thinking about how he'd get that tape…thing was, he didn't even know where it was. It could've been either at Jill's or at Sonia's…and either way, both places weren't going to be easy to get into.
One night, he wandered out into the woods, pondering how to go about this. They'll hold that tape over his head forever…
"...well, now... someone's looking fairly grumpy."
Raider stopped with a groan, rolling his eyes. "…Not in the mood, Hex."
"Why is that, I wonder?" Emerging from the shadows, Hex chuckled a little. "You don't usually seem this sour, Raider."
"...humph!" Raider went back to pacing back and forth. "…someone's got blackmail on me…"
"Aaaaw, did the pot finally hear from the kettle that he was black, too?" Hex chuckled in a carefree tone, as she sauntered over to the ox. "Tell me whoever's got dirt on you."
"…I don't know who's got it, that's the problem," Raider growled. "It's either Jill, or Sonia, or Ani, or heck; Maybe it's Nage and they're just trying to make me think…AGH!" he threw his arms up. "Either way, I can't do anything!"
"...so now, the mighty information hoarder is at his wits end." Hex mused, as she walked right in front of Raider, and stopped him from pacing by prodding his chest with a tentacle. "You know... it's amusing, when you think about it."
"…what?" Raider wasn't amused at all.
"You know... you've relished in collecting information about others, to keep blackmail and such on them." Hex chuckled. "So when the same thing happens to you... it's classic irony."
Raider just scoffed and swat away her tentacle, turning around sourly and folding his arms.
"...aaaw, someone's in a bad mood." Hex chuckled, before she walked around to look at Raider. "I think someone needs to be cheered up."
"The only way I'd cheer up is if that video was found and destroyed…" he growled.
"...oh, but that can be arranged." Hex chuckled. "Just wait until they've gone to say goodbye, and..." With a more devious chuckle, Hex got closer to Raider. "...in fact... you can leave that tape to me and my servants."
Raider blinked. "…really?"
"Of course." Hex chuckled, as she stopped right in front of Raider. "...for a nominal fee, of course."
Raider narrowed his eyes. "…let me guess…"
"Guess away." Hex said with a smirk.
Raider sighed. "Hex, I know you too well. What else could you possibly want in return?"
"Oh, it's not about what I want... it's about how much of it." Hex said with a growing smirk on her.
"…how much, exactly?" Raider asked, trying to hide his unease.
Now, Hex's smirk turned absolutely threatening.
"...24 hours." she eventually said.
Raider's eyes widened.
"…you're…you're kidding, right?"
"Does it seem like it?" Hex chuckled, as she stepped even closer to Raider. "I've gone far too long without someone inside me, and I can't take my frustrations out on my servants; they're not hired for that sort of thing. As such... well, if you want that tape destroyed, you know what must be done."
"…okay, I'm drawing the line there," Raider said, stepping away. "I can live with blackmail…I have at least some self-respect." And he was just about to leave too…
"...oh, but Raider..." At that point, a pair of tentacles grabbed Raider, spun him around...
...and something sharp was jabbed into his chest.
"...I insist."
Raider hissed from the pain, looking down at his chest to see what she plunged there. It was a syringe, with a clear liquid being pressed directly into his body from it.
"...it took every last drop I had left... but by god, I'm going to have my way with someone, and it's going to make up for lost time." Hex said with a chuckle. "Now don't you worry about the tape, Raider... just let me take care of everything."
"…wha?"
Raider started to feel dizzy, and his thoughts blurred. He didn't know how to respond.
Chuckling, Hex removed the syringe once the liquid had fully been pressed into Raider's body. "...I'll give you the choice of where we'll begin. Out here in the woods... or in my personal quarters?"
"…I…agh…ugh…" Raider was trying to stay on his feet, and not only was he dizzy and fuzzy, but he started to feel really warm too. "…I…need to lie down…"
"...what's holding you back?" Hex chuckled, as she used her tentacles to slowly place Raider down on the ground, before she practically leapt on him to pin him down.
"...now it's just you and me..." she chuckled, as she leaned closer. "...well, Raider? Don't you want me?"
"…I don't know anymore…" Raider mumbled.
"...let me help you make a decision." Hex chuckled...
Later on, it would only be just a few days now before the recruits left. They all spent their time packing and congratulating each other on good battles and whatnot.
Demi, though…
Running through the forest, Demi narrowed his eyes a bit. ...she has to be here... I... have to at least make sure, before I leave... Demi in the meantime, was running through the forest, trying to look for Oblivion. So far, he hadn't been able to find her, but that didn't stop him…
...maybe she's become terrified of me because me and Blood helped her the other day... I want to make sure that it isn't the case...
Eventually, Demi came back to the same log he remembered meeting her at, and sure enough, Oblivion was sitting there. She wasn't picking flowers though; she just sat there, stuck in thought.
"...Oblivion?" he managed to say; hoping to catch her attention.
Oblivion looked up. "…O-oh! Demi!"
"...Oblivion, I've been looking for you." Demi uttered, as he rubbed his neck a bit awkwardly. "...I, uh... I wanted to ask you something."
"…o-oh?" Oblivion looked away from him a bit…shyly.
Demi blinked at that. "...what's the matter?" he inquired.
"…it's nothing…" Oblivion murmured.
"...right..." Demi uttered, before he cleared his throat. "...well... I was just wondering, if, um..." Then, he glanced to the side. "...well... you remember back when that ox tried taking you away?"
"…yes?" Oblivion actually looked at him this time.
"...well... when I stopped him..." he uttered, as he drummed his fingers against each other. "...were you... afraid?"
"…what do you mean?" Oblivion asked.
"...well... when Blood gave me strength..." Demi uttered, as he looked at Oblivion. "...did I appear... frightening?"
Oblivion stared at Demi.
"…no, you didn't frighten me…" She said.
Demi seemed to lighten up a bit at that. "...I didn't?" he uttered, before sighing in relief.
Oblivion stood up, "…but I…I was afraid of something that day…" and she walked toward him.
Demi looked at Oblivion with a bewildered look. "...what were you afraid of?" he uttered. "The ox?"
Oblivion shook her head, and stopped right in front of him. "…I…I was afraid of…this…"
And she leaned forward, giving Demi a soft kiss on the lips. Demi's eyes suddenly widened, as he stood frozen to the spot.
They stayed like that for a little while, until Oblivion finally pulled away, blushing, and looked away from him shyly again.
"...you..." Demi uttered, as he briefly placed his hand on his own cheek; pulling it back when he realized that he was blushing as well.
"…I…was afraid that I would…feel that way…" Oblivion murmured.
Demi blinked. "...why?" he eventually inquired.
"…because…every time I had these feelings for someone, they were crushed…" Oblivion muttered. "…and…I have a responsibility to take care of my friend…I don't think I could…be with someone anyway…"
Demi blinked... and then he eventually nodded. "...I... see." he uttered.
"…it…was rude of me to wait until the last minute when you'll have to leave…to tell you… Oblivion murmured. "…I'm sorry…"
"...don't be."
And Demi wrapped his arms around Oblivion in a hug. "...at the very least... you did tell me."
Oblivion blinked, blushing even more when he did that.
"...actually... to be honest..." Demi uttered, as he glanced to the side. "...I... um... I've felt something... similar..."
"…you have…?" Oblivion asked.
"...y-yes." Demi nodded. "...I just... didn't realize what it was, until you confessed..." Then, he let go of Oblivion, and just looked at her.
She stared back in silence.
"...well..." Demi uttered, as he looked at Oblivion. "...if... well, if we ever meet again..."
"…then…perhaps we can…" Oblivion nodded.
"...perhaps." Demi nodded as well, as he smiled a bit.
Oblivion smiled as well, but she wasn't sure what to do at this point.
"...so, then..." Demi hummed, as he glanced to the side; he didn't seem too certain about what to do.
Oblivion looked at Demi again…
…and…she couldn't really quite resist leaning toward him to kiss him again. Though he didn't move from where he stood, Demi kissed Oblivion back this time around. Oblivion felt a fluttering warmth, wanting more of it, but she forced herself to pull her lips away from him… Though he wanted more as well, Demi understood why she pulled away, so he still didn't move.
"…I'll…see you around…Demi…" Oblivion muttered.
"...y-yeah." Demi nodded.
Oblivion nodded, and turned to walk away.
With a slight nod, Demi walked off as well.
While Oblivion walked… she slowed and sighed. …I…I don't want to walk away…but…
Demi, too, slowed as well, and rubbed his arm as well. ...if she feels that she can't, then I shouldn't... but...
Oblivion eventually stopped and shut her eyes.
…was she really just going to leave Demi like that?
"…Demi, WAIT!" she suddenly called out, spinning around and running back to him.
Stopping, Demi looked back at Oblivion.
Oblivion threw her arms around him.
"…I…I should leave you like that, I mean…I…" she stumbled on what to say. "…I don't want you to leave, but I…I…I don't know…" Demi couldn't help but blink, as he slowly wrapped his arms around Oblivion; truth be told, he wasn't sure what to say either. "…you're…going to be gone in a few days…" Oblivion uttered. "…I feel like…I should give more to this goodbye…but I…"
Demi blinked a bit more. "...you... don't know what else to give?" he assumed.
"…yes…" Oblivion finally admitted.
"...mmh..." Humming, Demi glanced to the side. He wasn't sure if there was anything else to offer, either...
Oblivion held him tight. "…and in some ways…I…almost don't want you to leave…I…"
Demi nodded a little. "...I... think I understand..." he said.
"…you do?" Oblivion looked at him.
"...yes... a-at least, I think so." Demi said as he cleared his throat. "...as you said... I'll be gone in a few days... so..." He looked down at Oblivion again. "...maybe, before then..."
"…and…I…know you won't break my heart…" she murmured. "…so…"
Demi nodded slowly yet briefly, as he simply looked at Oblivion. Oblivion looked back at him in the same way.
As they simply stared at each other, Demi could feel a certain beating in his chest. Oblivion had the same feeling pound in her chest and silently, she tried to swallow it down. Slowly, and without a sound, Demi raised his hand up towards Oblivion's cheek; gently touching it. She shivered at the goose-bumps she felt when he touched her, setting her hands on his chest. It almost felt like the feeling in his chest intensified the moment she touched him, as Demi slowly leaned a little closer to Oblivion. Oblivion was frozen there, but she allowed him to come to her, slowly closing her eyes. Closing his eyes as well, Demi leaned in closer, before his lips eventually met hers.
Oblivion felt more goose-bumps when she felt his lips, kissing him back lightly. Making sure not to act too roughly, Demi kissed Oblivion slightly deeper. Oblivion shuddered a bit, but not out of fear, allowing him to do it. As he kissed her, Demi slowly stroked his thumb across her soft cheek. Oblivion sighed in content at that feeling, shivering with even more goose-bumps. Her hands moved from his chest to his back, holding him. With an appreciative sigh, Demi deepened the kiss a smidgen more; still caressing Oblivion's cheek with his thumb. Oblivion almost clutched to him while she kissed back just as deeply. Sighing in content at that, Demi moved his arms around Oblivion as well; holding her as he kept kissing her. Oblivion stroked his white hair while they kissed on. Slowly, Demi began deepening the kiss again, as he began stroking Oblivion's back. Oblivion breathed more at that, touching Demi's chin lightly. Demi shivered a bit at that, as he slowly held Oblivion tighter.
This was getting a bit intense for Oblivion, so she broke her lips away just to breathe for a moment. "…Demi…" she whispered breathlessly.
"...Oblivion..." Demi uttered as well, as he set his hand on her cheek again; this time, though, he didn't do it as slowly as he did before. Not to mention, his breathing seemed to quicken a bit.
Oblivion still tried catching her breath. It had been a very long time since she felt this way…and in a way where she didn't feel so nervous about this…
"...are you..." Demi uttered, as he tried catching his breath as well.
"…am I…what?" Oblivion asked curiously, still just a lip's distance away from him.
"...are you... nervous?" Demi responded.
"…maybe…a little…" she said. "…but I'm alright…actually…I've never felt so good in…such a long time…"
Once she caught her breath, she returned with another kiss. Sighing appreciatively, Demi deepened the kiss, and held her closer to himself. Oblivion wrapped her arms around his neck while she kissed him. As he began caressing her back, Demi deepened the kiss a bit more...
...and in the midst of their kiss, his wings actually wrapped themselves around both him and Oblivion; covering them from view. Oblivion grew more comfortable after that; she actually appreciated it for the privacy, and she held his cheek while she kissed him. As he kept kissing her, he began stroking her hair with one of his hands. With her experienced being yanked by it, being stroked through her hair felt quite nice for her, and Oblivion sighed in response. As he did that, he moved his other hand down along her side; slowly caressing it, as he deepened the kiss. Oblivion felt more goose bumps and shuddered in delight again.
As he kept caressing her side, he eventually moved his hand along her shoulder, whilst reaching her collarbone. He seemed slightly hesitant in moving from there... Oblivion, while noticing that, could feel herself getting warmer from all of this. Demi, too, seemed to grow warm from this, as his hand lightly skirted along the edge of her dress; as if waiting for permission to slide within it.
Oblivion almost wasn't sure…she had experienced men who tried to force this onto her, and so she had never really been comfortable with it. With Demi, though…she was strangely relaxed…but cautious just as well. She didn't stop him, but she did remain aware of what would happen…even with how feverish she began to feel from all of this.
Eventually, Demi slid his hand within her dress; caressing her bare skin underneath it. More goose bumps ran down her legs, and she muttered a tiny moan. That seemed to spur Demi slighty, as he deepened the kiss some more while continuing to caress her. She breathed unsteadily while she kissed back. She felt so much emotion, and in a way, it was making it hard for her to keep track of what was going on, getting more and more lost in the moment.
After a short while, Demi broke away from the kiss, only to lean down and kiss Oblivion's neck. Oblivion's head arched back with another tiny, unsteady moan. As he riddled her neck with kisses, the hand within her dress began trailing upwards, whilst his other hand moved down to her shoulder; caressing her there as well.
It felt good…really good…
…but it made Oblivion nervous a little…this was farther than she was used to going… Demi, however, didn't seem to notice, as he kept caressing Oblivion and kissing her neck. Unlike all the other times where she would panic, though, she kept with it with a few more moans of appreciation…
Eventually, without ceasing to caress her, Demi broke away from Oblivion's neck, and rose up to look right at her; a lip's distance away from her. "...do you... want me to go further...?" he whispered breathlessly.
Oblivion breathed, trying to decide between the choices. This is father than she's really gone before, and in some ways she was still a bit nervous…
"…yes…" that word came out of her mouth before she knew it though.
"...alright..." With that, he moved in to kiss her lips once again, whilst his hand moved up towards her chest. The more his hand crept toward there, the more goose-bumps Oblivion felt and it caused her to quiver. Soon enough, his hand came in contact with one of her breasts; gently stroking it while Demi deepened the kiss even more.
Oblivion gave a shaky moan at that.
Slowly, he took hold of her breast; but not too roughly, as if he was trying not to be too forceful. Oblivion still trembled…but she hadn't felt this kind of pleasure before, and in some ways, she almost wanted to feel more…but she still felt nervous about this. As he began caressing Oblivion's breast, Demi pulled her a bit closer to him; deepening the kiss further once more. Oblivion kissed him longingly, moaning a little more. As they were lost in their make-out, Demi moved his other hand down towards Oblivion's legs; beginning to caress them as well. Oblivion felt hotter and her heart pounded more rapidly. She even wrapped one of her legs around him. Demi, too, was growing hotter by the moment, as he began stroking her waist.
Oblivion broke from kissing to arch her head back again in pleasure. "Demi…" she moaned.
"...Oblivion..." Demi uttered breathlessly, as he gave her neck a lingering kiss.
She slowly gasped at that, stroking the back of his head. Slowly, Demi pulled Oblivion closer to him as he kept kissing Oblivion's neck. "...Oblivion..."
Oblivion gasped slowly at that. "…Demi…"
"...Oblivion..." With that slight gasp, Demi kept kissing her.
"…Demi…" Oblivion couldn't get over just how good this felt…and she finally relaxed from being so nervous earlier.
"...Oblivion..." Demi uttered once more, before he lifted up from kissing her neck, letting him look at her once more as he placed his hand over her chest; letting him feel her heart beat.
Oblivion's head rose, breathing…and she set her hand on top of his on her chest. "…Demi…"
"...Oblivion..." Demi uttered, leaning closer to her. "...do you... want to go... further...?"
"…I…I don't know…" she whispered faintly. "…I want to, but…but I…I…"
"...don't worry..." Demi whispered as well. "...do as you please..."
"…yes…I…I do…"
"...Oblivion..." Demi uttered, as he kept caressing her side; leaning in so that their lips were just a tiny bit apart.
"…Demi…" she uttered with another quivering breath…
Why was she insisting on going further? Oblivion would've stopped it long before it had gotten to this point. Why wasn't she stopping?
…had…she denied herself something like this for so long? Too long, maybe? She had no idea that she'd feel such strong emotions like these, and usually she was able to control herself…
"...Oblivion..."
With that, Demi suddenly moved in and kissed her passionately. Oblivion was blown away by the passion of it, and she kissed back, feeling her heart beating fast again. Pulling her in as close as possible, Demi kept kissing her so feverously. Oblivion was glad that his wings concealed them, so that no one would see them acting like this. While she was very surprised by his kissing, she also felt like she was melting in his arms…
As he kept kissing her, he commenced caressing her waist and breasts once more; with equal passion driving his hands on. Oblivion blushed a little bit, and started moaning more. After a while, he moved one of his hands back up to her shoulder; rubbing it sensually, while also seeming to want to remove her dress...
Oblivion started to grow nervous again…especially since he wanted to start taking off her dress. Though he seemed eager, he stayed his hand; as if wanting Oblivion's approval before doing so.
In some ways, Oblivion was still very nervous…but she started acting without thinking. She reached behind and pulled apart the part of her dress that was around her neck for him. Taking that as her approval, Demi began slowly removing her dress. Oblivion shuddered again, a mix of excitement and uneasiness, and her heart really pounded against her chest. As he slowly removed her dress, he kept caressing more of her bare skin as it was revealed. Oblivion kept gasping so much that her head arched back again, away from kissing. "D-Demi…" she uttered.
"...Oblivion..." Again, Demi began kissing her neck as he eventually got the dress completely off her.
Oblivion shivered because of how cold it was now; and she became very uneasy. She just let herself become naked in front of someone…and to be honest, it was a first for her. "D-Demi…" and she tensed up a bit.
"Oblivion..." Stroking her back as if to relieve that tension, Demi kept kissing at her neck.
Oblivion, then, reacted with panic.
"D-Demi, s-stop!" and she pushed him away from her, but not enough for his wings to be bumped out of place…
Demi blinked a bit at that, as he looked at her with a slightly startled look. "...Oblivion?" he uttered.
Oblivion covered her naked chest uneasily, looking away from Demi.
"...Oblivion, are you-" Demi uttered, when he stopped himself; as if realization struck him. "...you're..."
Oblivion spun around with her back to him, trying to hide how embarrassed she was.
"...Oblivion..." Demi uttered again, as he glanced aside a bit awkwardly. "...you're... nervous... right?"
"…y-yes…"
Gulping, Demi looked at her again. "...truth be told... I'm a bit nervous, too..."
Oblivion glanced back at him over her shoulder. "…I-I've just…never really…willingly done this before…"
"...I... I see..." Demi uttered with a nod. "...actually... this is... m-my first time..."
"…is it?" Oblivion asked.
"...yes." Demi nodded.
Oblivion looked down at the ground awkwardly.
"...look..." Demi eventually said, as he stepped closer to her. "...if you're... hesitant about this... I understand," Saying that, he looked at her. "...but... I just want you to know that... I'd never try to hurt you, in any way, shape or form."
Finally, she eventually turned around, not looking as nervous as before, and she came closer to Demi again. Demi simply looked at her this time.
"…I…know that…" Oblivion murmured. "…I'm just…scared…"
"...scared...?" Demi hummed.
Oblivion nodded, getting close enough to place her hands on his chest again. "…I…don't really know…what to do…"
Remaining silent, Demi placed a hand gingerly on Oblivion's cheek. Oblivion closed her eyes and enjoyed the feeling a little.
Ah, the magic of editing...yeah, yeah, I know you guys don't like reading this stuff... But hey, it's better than reading what Hex is doing to Raider.
"...are you okay...?" Demi uttered, as he held Oblivion.
"…I…I think so…" Oblivion replied.
"...did... that feel good?" Demi inquired.
"…actually, it did…" and she sighed a little, resting her head on his shoulder.
"...that's... good." Demi hummed.
Oblivion eventually looked up at Demi. Demi looked back at Oblivion.
"…Demi…" Oblivion muttered faintly, touching his cheek.
"...Oblivion..." Demi uttered, as he placed his own hand on her cheek as well.
"…Demi…" she leaned closer again.
"...Oblivion..." And he leaned forward to kiss her once more.
Oblivion couldn't help it…there was just something about this she couldn't pull away from. It was incredible for her to feel something like this… Demi, too, felt that this was something extraordinary; he relished every second that he and Oblivion were like this.
Oblivion's legs unwrapped from around Demi so that she could stand, while she still kissed him. Caressing Oblivion's sides, Demi kept kissing her with the same passion and drive. Oblivion's hand wandered on Demi while she kissed back just as passionately. Breathing a bit at Oblivion's soft touch, Demi kept caressing and kissing her. Oblivion moaned a little at that…
…then she suddenly pulled away.
"…we…we shouldn't be out here…" she muttered. "…someone might…"
"...o-oh!" Demi uttered, as his face turned beet red from realization. "...y-you're right..." he nodded. "...but... where do we...?"
"…I…don't know…" Oblivion murmured. "…maybe…we can find some of the ruins from some of the old GUN base to hide out until…"
"...alright..." Nodding, Demi quickly scooped up Oblivion and her dress, before he took to the air; quickly flying off towards the GUN base, to find some ruins.
"…do you…use them to fly…a lot?" Oblivion asked curiously.
"...not really." Demi admitted.
"…they're…very quick…" Oblivion pointed out, just as they found an opened crack to the inside of part of the old ruined GUN base.
"...thanks." Demi said with a small smile, just as he managed to fly into that crack; quickly coming to a halt as he landed.
Inside, it just seemed to be a small room, with vines crawling all over the place…but there was a pile of leaves in there that looked fairly soft enough.
Seeing that, Demi carried Oblivion over to the pile of leaves, and gently set her down on it. "...comfy?"
"…fairly…" Oblivion simply just looked back up at Demi.
Leaning down by Oblivion, Demi placed a hand on her cheek once more. "...that's good..."
Oblivion placed a hand on his chest, blushing a little bit.
Smiling a little, Demi leaned in to kiss Oblivion. Oblivion kissed him back, while relaxing on the pile of leaves. As he kissed her, Demi lied down next to her; stroking her body again. Oblivion trembled once again, feeling the goosebumps. Trailing his hand along her thigh, Demi deepened the kiss a little. Oblivion clutched to his chest, breathing quickly. Breathing as quickly as she did, Demi began pulling her closer, as his wings began wrapping around them again.
Oblivion felt more relieved being wrapped up by his wings, also warming up a bit because of it since her body pressed against his. It also didn't help the fact that the two of them were heating up in the moment. She wrapped her arms around him to hold him, and kissed him back. Deepening the kiss, Demi continued to caress her body. Oblivion wrapped just one of her legs around Demi again, trailing a finger across his back.
Shuddering in delight, Demi broke away to start kissing Oblivion's neck; though a bit rougher than before. Oblivion moaned a little bit, feeling even more goose bumps from that. Little by little, it seemed like Demi kissed her neck rougher and rougher; though not so much that she'd become uncomfortable...
Oblivion wondered about that a little, but she just disregarded it, imagining that Demi was getting more and more absorbed into this. She was too, as she moaned and clutched to Demi.
Demi's breathing quickened, as he grew more and more rough in kissing her neck; even slightly grinding his teeth against her...
...and suddenly, he actually bit down on her.
Oblivion gasped; her eyes popping open in surprise. "D-Demi?"
However, Demi didn't seem to hear her, as he kept caressing Oblivion whilst still keeping his teeth on her neck. She felt pain, yes, but…she felt something very strange as well…the pain almost immediately started to numb away on her… Still, Demi kept caressing her, as he bit down slightly harder. Now Oblivion started to feel even stranger…
…and it seemed pleasant. Oblivion shuddered and moaned even more at Demi's caresses, growing more and more sensitive to his touch. "Demi…" she also felt even hotter.
Later that night…
Oblivion was fast asleep, but she started waking up when she felt a cold chill that made her shiver. She rubbed her arms to try and warm up a bit…and then realized she was still naked. Her eyes opened, staring right at Demi right beside her.
"…oh my!"
She jumped away in slight surprise.
"...mnh..." With a low hum, Demi turned a bit in his sleep.
This was really awkward for her…mainly because she was the one this time who had a hard time remembering what happened. She remembered Demi carrying her in here so that they wouldn't be seen, and once they got into it…
She gasped in realization, blushing slightly.
When it was getting really intense, she remembered Demi biting her on the neck. Things started to get hazy from there…but bits of images came to her, little by little. The more she started to remember, the more she blushed. …oh my…I…acted like that…? She thought with embarrassment.
"...ngh..." Again, Demi turned in his sleep.
She looked at herself, seeing a lot of leaves stuck to her and stuck in her hair. She brushed them off of her and looked for her dress, which she eventually found tossed aside in the corner of the room.
Once she got dressed, she looked back at Demi again.
Still, he remained asleep.
Oblivion wondered to herself… should she just leave him be and walk away…or should she wake him up?
"...mnh..." Again, he turned; this time so that he faced towards Oblivion.
Oblivion looked down onto the floor…she knew that despite what just happened…she still couldn't commit herself to anyone. She had responsibilities to take care of Charon…
With that in mind, Oblivion quietly went toward the crack in the wall they came through.
"...Oblivion...?"
Oblivion stopped with her heart skipping a beat. "…Demi?" she uttered, looking back.
Slowly, Demi sat up from where he had been lying, as he rubbed his head. "...Oblivion... are you there...?" he yawned.
"…I'm…over here," Oblivion said.
Slowly, Demi turned to look at her. "...are you... leaving...?" he uttered.
"…I was…going to…" Oblivion muttered, looking away from him.
"...I see..." Demi nodded slowly, before he rubbed his head. "...ngh... is it night, already... did we-" And in that instant, his eyes widened in realization, and he blushed immensely. "...oh. OH. OH." he uttered in surprise.
Oblivion blushed again and she tried to hide it. "…um…yeah…"
Looking slightly panicked, Demi quickly got to his feet. "...I-I'm sorry about that. Blood must've influenced my actions... to think that I made you..."
Oblivion rubbed her arm a bit uncomfortably, still not looking at him.
"...Oblivion..." Demi uttered, as he began approaching her. "...I... didn't hurt you, did I?"
"…I…I don't know, to be honest…most of it is still a bit blurry for me," she muttered.
"...I..." Demi uttered, as he glanced to the side. "...I... oh, darn, this is awkward..."
"…maybe I…I should go…" Oblivion murmured.
"...mnh..." With a slight gulp, Demi looked back at Oblivion. "...hey. I know that you'll be staying here when I leave... but, if by some chance you should leave the island..."
Oblivion looked back at Demi then.
"...well... maybe we could... meet up again?" he suggested.
"…I'd like that…" Oblivion said, smiling just a little bit.
Seeing that, Demi smiled a little as well.
Just then, Oblivion leaned forward and gave him a soft, lingering kiss on the lips. Demi, in turn, softly kissed her back.
It took a long time before Oblivion finally pulled away, and with one last glance to Demi, she climbed out of the crack outside.
Demi just watched her leave with a slight smile, as he rubbed his arm a bit.
While Oblivion walked, she started thinking to herself. While she couldn't really afford to be with anyone, it would at least give Demi a chance to get used to Blood…after what she went through, she still couldn't help but blush in embarrassment. …I had no idea he could do that… she thought.
As he watched her leave, Demi glanced down at the ground, as he rubbed his neck. ...Blood... seems like that's not the only thing he acquired a taste for... he thought, before he sighed. ...not to mention... that thing he pulled with my teeth... I need to find out what it is, and how to keep myself from...
Oblivion walked a long way through the woods, until she finally got to the cave that Charon was resting at. She looked up at the moon, seeing it in the middle of the sky. "…it's late…" she murmured to herself. "…Charon's probably asleep…"
So she stepped on inside.
When she got further in. "…Charon?" she whispered out. "…Charon? Are you asleep?"
"...Oblivion..." a low voice hummed from further in the cave. "...you were out late... you had me worried for a moment..."
"Sorry about that," she answered, heading toward the voice.
Sure enough, there was Charon, who simply looked at her. "...where were you?" he inquired curiously.
"Oh, I was just…talking with a new friend…" Oblivion said, trying to smile. "…I suppose I lost track of time…"
"...ah; I see..." Charon nodded with a slight smile as well... when he started to sniff at the air. "...huh... do you smell that?"
Oblivion blinked curiously. "…smell what?"
"...it's... an unfamiliar smell..." Charon uttered, as he kept sniffing at the air. "...it's... coming from you." he hummed.
Oblivion stopped…and grew nervous.
"…it…is?"
"...yes..." Charon nodded. "...but... I've never smelled anything like it before... it's strange..." Humming, he looked at her curiously. "...did you eat something new, or something?"
"Uh—no, I…I didn't…" she looked away from him in discomfort.
"...is something the matter?" Charon hummed.
Oblivion looked up at Charon a bit…timidly.
Charon just looked at her with a more or less confused look in his eyes.
Eventually, Oblivion turned away from him, rubbing her arm.
"...hm." With a slight hum, Charon simply lied down. "If it makes you feel uneasy, I shouldn't push it..." he yawned.
Oblivion glanced at him for a moment, and looked away again.
"…maybe…I…did more than just…talk…"
"...hm?" Charon blinked, as he looked at Oblivion again.
"…this friend…I…he helped me when I got in trouble and I…" Oblivion tried to figure out how to start explaining it. She even wondered why she was explaining it to Charon…but Charon was her friend, and at least he deserved to know…
Still, Charon just looked at her with that curious look in his eyes.
"…so I…I had feelings for him…"
Hearing that, Charon blinked. "...feelings...?"
"…yes, but I was…sort of afraid to have feelings so I…I didn't see him for a while," Oblivion answered. "…not until earlier today…"
Charon still looked at Oblivion with a curious look.
"…I told him why I didn't see him…and…it turned out that he had feelings for me too…" Oblivion murmured. "…One thing led to another, and I…"
Charon still didn't seem to entirely get it, as he tilted his head a little.
"…well, we got…um…intimate."
"...intimate...?" Charon hummed.
Oblivion blushed. "…yes…intimate."
"...I... see..." Charon hummed, as he nodded a little. "...I'm... not sure I know what you imply, but... you were close, right...?"
"Uh…I suppose in a way we were," Oblivion started getting nervous. "…physically close…"
Charon blinked at the way she emphasized the word 'physically'. "...uh... I see..." he hummed, before he tilted his head. "...is... there something wrong about that...?"
Oblivion looked at Charon. "…you don't…catch my drift?"
"...aside from the fact that you don't seem particularly comfortable... I suppose I'm not." Charon hummed.
Oblivion was silent when she looked away, and she grew so nervous she blurted out.
"We had sex, Charon!"
And then there was more silence.
Needless to say, Charon was more than thrown off by that answer, as he just looked at Oblivion in disbelief. "...you..." he uttered.
Oblivion blushed bright red in embarrassment. "…that's…probably…what you smelled…Charon…"
"...maybe... so..." Charon uttered carefully...
...and in an instant, he quickly approached Oblivion. "He didn't force you, did he? Did he hurt you? Are you alright? How did this happen?" he sputtered in a baffled and worried tone.
"…N-no! No, he didn't force me!" Oblivion uttered, trying to keep him calm.
"But did he hurt you?" Charon repeated. "And... you were gone so long! Was all that time spent doing...?" Needless to say, it'd take a lot of effort to calm him down.
"No, he didn't hurt me!" Oblivion tried to remain calm herself to try and calm Charon down.
"But... aargh, I don't even know who this other person is!" Charon uttered in a worried tone. "Who was it, Oblivion?"
"It was one of the newcomers, Charon!" Oblivion uttered. "One of the ones that are leaving in a few days!"
"Leaving in a few-!" Charon sputtered. "But- what if he- I mean- he's gonna- and-" Needless to say, Charon couldn't exactly form a coherent sentence at the moment.
"Charon, Charon, slow down!" Oblivion uttered nervously.
For the moment, it seemed like there was no calming Charon down, until he began breathing because of his constant stutters. "...buh... Oblivion..." he uttered. "...you had sex?" he finally said in complete disbelief.
Oblivion turned red in the face again, looking down at the ground. "…It…sounds bad, I know but…"
"...but what?" Charon uttered, as he just rubbed his head from this sudden bomb dropped on him.
"…it just…happened so fast that…I'm just as surprised as you are about this…" Oblivion muttered.
"...I... would imagine so..." Charon uttered, as he sighed in disbelief.
"…he didn't hurt me, and it wasn't forced," Oblivion said. "It was just…" Oblivion just didn't know how to describe it.
"...just... what?" Charon uttered.
"…I let him leave…because…I couldn't afford to get involved with anyone…" Oblivion sat down, becoming sad. "…I suppose it happened because in some ways I was…desperate, I mean…" she covered her face and sighed. "…I don't know…"
As he calmed down, Charon just looked at her. "...Oblivion..."
"…even if I liked him…and…despite what happened…It wouldn't be right for me to keep him here, or for me to try and be involved with someone else…" Oblivion muttered. "…I…have to try and take care of you…"
Charon blinked again. "...you... would let go of that... just for my sake...?"
"…yes, I would," Oblivion answered.
"...that's..." Charon uttered, as he glanced to the side. He hadn't thought that he'd hear something like that...
Oblivion stroked back her hair, sighing again.
"...well... what's done is done." Charon uttered, as he nodded slowly. "...we should probably go to sleep..."
"…yeah…" Oblivion stood up…and then she looked out toward the mouth of the cave in the distance.
Charon blinked. "...something on your mind...?"
"…no, it's nothing…" Oblivion said, turning to join Charon…
…but in reality, Oblivion wondered about Demi…about whether or not he'll be alright…
Charon simply nodded. "...alright..." he nodded. "...good night, then..."
Reminds me of that scene in the Clannad After Story where Nagisa tells her dad the obvious. "We had sex and sex makes babies!" and then the hilarity ensues XD Ed probably wouldn't know what I was talking about, but either way, I had fun writing this scene.
