Spring Revitalizations

Laki submerged herself under the water pulling the elastic out of her hair and letting the water sluice through it. The spring water was warm and soothing as it cleansed her tired body. Laki didn't mind the ache that had settled into her muscles because they were a sign that she was alive, which after Enel had gotten his hands on her was a miracle. She scrubbed at her skin until it was rosy and no longer had the blackened tinge of being electrocuted. She was trying to do something about her singed hair when she heard a voice behind her, rich and smooth.

"Can I join you?"

Laki turned around in the water, her arm covering her breasts and faced the speaker. It was the woman from the pirate crew, the one with the cowboy hat. Laki had been told that she had gotten electrocuted as well after attempting to manipulate Enel, even if she hadn't known already looking at her Laki could tell. Her skin had that same blackened hue Laki's own had had and the ebony hair was lightly singed. She must have deposited her hat somewhere since it was nowhere on her, her hair blowing lightly in the slight breeze. The woman cocked an eyebrow at her wearing an amused expression and Laki realized she still hadn't answered the simple question.

"Sure, come on in. The water's warm."

Laki wasn't sure what she had expected the mysterious woman to do but it most certainly was not to strip and then simply sit casually on the bank, her feet dangling in the water. Laki watched mesmerized as she pulled out a small cloth, dipping it in the water and slowly running it over her long legs. And oh my god, were they long. Laki herself had long legs and knew they drew attention, she had caught Kamakiri staring a time or two but she had never quite understood the attraction of them before. Until now that is. Staring at those long, trim legs Laki felt her mouth go dry and she forced herself to swallow hard. The other woman continued her cleaning seemingly oblivious to Laki but when she squeezed the cloth over her breasts, the water trailing down between them and over her flat stomach Laki swore she saw an amused smirk flash across her rosy lips.

"Uh, aren't you going to come in?" Laki asked.

Laki hoped she would, she desperately needed her to get in the water so she would at least be partially out of sight because for whatever reason Laki couldn't keep from ogling her. She didn't know the last time she had had sex and clearly her celibacy was making her crazy, why else would she be itching to jump a total stranger.

"No. I ate a devil fruit and can't go in the water." The woman replied casually.

"A devil fruit? What's your ability then?" Laki asked curious.

Laki nearly screamed when an arm appeared on her shoulder, reaching over to gently caress her cheek before disappearing in a burst of petals. Laki couldn't resist glancing over her shoulder, but clearly there was no one there and she heard a soft giggle escape the woman's lips. The giggle had her blood boiling and her heart racing and Laki knew she had to get out now. She surged to her feet, the water rushing off of her in rivulets not stopping to think that she was completely in the nude. She strode out of the spring a good couple of feet down from where the woman sat, walking over to where she had a towel draped across a tree. She wrapped the towel around her body and was about to leave when she felt someone tap he shoulder. She looked behind her but the woman was still sitting on the bank her back to Laki and then she remembered the devil fruit and knew it had been her anyways.

"I should be going. I wanted to check on Kamakiri and..." Laki trailed off as the woman rose from her position.

The woman pulled her pants back on and reached down to grab her shirt off the ground, her movements fluid and enticing. Laki self-consciously tightened the towel around her wishing she had brought clothes to change into. When she looked up they were only a few inches apart and Laki sucked in her breath. She hadn't even seen the other move and now she was close enough to touch. Her hand itched to reach out and push the damp hair off her face but before she could a hand had snaked around her neck and had pulled her against the other woman. She was assaulted with a light floral scent and it slowly wrapped itself around her, consuming her and fogging her brain. Her brain stopped working a second later when soft lips pressed against hers.

Despite the soft lips the kiss wasn't gentle, pressing against her own with an urgency that Laki returned. A tongue slipped itself into her mouth and Laki groaned at the contact. This was bliss, a soft body pressed up against her own, a small hand holding her there firmly while a skilled tongue slowly moved in and out of her mouth. It slid along her tongue caressing it and exploring the contours of her mouth, massaging the roof of her mouth and flicking over her teeth.

Laki joined in on the fun; giving back some of what she was taking, relishing the contented sounds that came from the other woman. It struck her that she didn't even know the other's name but at that moment it didn't matter because she was getting the life kissed out of her. The tongue retreated, pulling back into its own mouth and Laki sucked in her full bottom lip nibbling lightly and releasing it tantalizingly slow.

They pulled apart breathing heavily and Laki did reach up to push the hair off her face, her fingers lingering on the soft skin. They came together for one more kiss, this one almost sweet before the other pulled back completely.

"Thank you, Laki." She said softly, walking away.

Laki simply stared after her watching her walk away, her hips swaying ever so slightly. She was about to open her mouth to ask the woman her name when she paused turning to look over her shoulder with that same amused smile from before.

"It's Nico Robin by the way."
