22
About an hour, I was escorted to my horse and I was helped onto it and now I just waited and waiting hurt more than anything right now. The anticipation. I heard gunshots, numerous gunshots in the distance. I jumped a bit looking around wondering what had happened. A part of me wanted to ride down there and help anyway I could, but I knew I would just get in the way. I held the reins tight in my hands wondering what was happening and now at the end of the hill, I saw numerous people running toward us and I was a bit tense thinking they were soldiers, but instead, I saw Nathan and Katsumoto. Beside them was Ujio and Nobutada, and I smiled wide happy that most of them had returned. They mounted their horses, and together we rode off into the night. War would definitely come.
We did not stop until we neared the mountains, knowing we would not be followed. I smiled at Katsumoto and Nobutada.
"I am glad you are both safe." I replied feeling my body quivering a bit. Katsumoto noticed and smiled back at me
"And I am glad you are safe." he said and I smiled and we all bowed to each other before separating from them so they and Nathan could speak. I had wandered off just a bit toward from the others so I could be alone. I let my body lean against a tree as I began to remember what happened back at the inn. I closed my eyes and looked down covering my mouth with my hand feeling I would just become undone. But I managed to hold it in and inhale some. Ever since I was with Nathan, no one ever bothered me. They could never get close enough. And back there I felt as if I was just as weak as I was back on the plantation. And then it took just one attack to bring the memories back inside me.
And then I think of Ujio's strength and bravery. It is so easy to kill for him. His way of life seems much more complicated than mine. Maybe I should have taken the emperor's offer and lived in his palace. I scoffed at the thought. I didn't want to be anywhere Ujio wasn't.
"Grasuh." I hear him call and I noticed I had been to actually walk off in thought. I stopped and turned to Ujio to see him moving over to me and he took my and softly. "You shouldn't be walking off on your own." He was right. I was so out of it.
"I'm sorry. Tonight has just been so crazy." I replied as he pulled me closer to him.
"Everything will be alright." he replied and I shook my head some.
"Will it?" I asked. "There will surely be a battle⦠and you're going to go off into it and- and I don't know if you're even going to come back." I replied feeling my eyes water and he shook his head now shushing me gently.
"You cannot think of that. You must be strong. No matter what happens, if I die, it would be a good death knowing that you are safe." he said. I just stared up at him for a moment looking away some.
"It's so easy for you. To just except that death is the outcome." I replied.
"Just because I accept that death is an outcome, does not mean it is easy. Ever since you came into my life, I fear that every battle I am in will be the last, because I have someone even more important than my lord to protect. I feel that death means failure to you." he explained, and I looked back up at him not expecting his answer. I sighed softly and just let my fingers move across his chest softly.
"Maybe we should not think about the upcoming battles⦠maybe we should just think about tonight." I replied moving my fingers across the buttons of my dress and unbuttoning them slowly and Ujio exhaled softly as my dress began to fall to my feet. In seconds, he kissed me hard and I wrapped my arms around him and the cut on my bottom lip hurt from earlier, but right now it was a good pain. Ujio lifted me up off the ground so I was out of the dress. He sat me on the side of my dress, his tongue already moving into mouth combining with mine. He moved to remove his kimono, and I let my hand comb through his hair slowly releasing his top knot. His hair flowed over his bare chest as is kimono slipped down his body. We pulled at the rest of each other's garments until we were completely naked.
Ujio broke the kiss for a split second and took my hand and began to lead me into the forest. Without question I followed him. I'd follow him anywhere. We didn't go too far, just far enough to not be heard. There was nothing but grass and Ujio kissed me once more, his growls causing me to gasp in excitement. I moved down to the soft grass first and I followed. I lied atop of his chest and found his lips again. He smiled against my lips curling his fingers into my hand and used his tongue yet again to fight for dominance. I had never expected so much fire to burn inside me and between my legs and so quickly. With his other hand, Ujio moved to the top of my head and gently felt the top of my head. I thought he was petting me at first, until I realized he was slowly removing the pins that kept my hair in place and as it now began to fall, I moved back just inches from his face now as now both of us were undone in every way, shape and form. His hair looked like the mane of a male lion. His lip twitched into a soft snarl as we kissed each other even harder now, his hands gripping my hips and suddenly turning our bodies so that he was on top of me. I felt his hair now falling over me, and oddly enough I couldn't think of anything else. I wouldn't.
Ujio stared down at me for a moment and I stared up at him and smiled as he smiled down at me. I let my fingers run through his hair gently.
"You are mine." I spoke gently never breaking eye contact with him. He gave a low chuckle and leaned down kissing the tip of my nose.
"From now and into the next life." he promised and I smiled and pulled him into me kissing him passionately. The heat rose within seconds, and I spread my legs for him showing I was already ready for him. He settled between my legs and I feel him push into me, my tight walls expanding causing us both to gasp out in total bliss. He wasted no time and began to thrust fast and hard inside me. I moaned out feeling his shaft send tremors of pleasure into my body. My head fell back and I felt Ujio's lips trailing down my neck kissing and licking all over the sensitive parts of my flesh. My legs immediately locked up around his hips, his hands finding their way to my breasts and he pawed at them firmly, but not too aggressively. Our bodies moved together on the grass, and not even the blades cut our bodies as we moved with mild aggression.
Ujio's hand moved under my leg to pull it closer over his body and I wrapped my arms around his shoulders. Everything felt so perfect and I moaned out feeling that certain spot inside me being gently pushed. Ujio felt it however and pushed harder and faster against that spot. I trembled with pleasure feeling my hands scrape down his back and I bit his bottom lip in response causing him to growl out lowly. He sat up suddenly and grabbed me lifting me up so now I was sitting atop of his lap and holding onto him for mild leverage. His hands slid down my body and took hold of my hips and he began to slowly move them against his own as he moved his hips upward. I panted softly moving my hips with his eyes and I feel his tongue lick right up my lips causing me to gasp sharply. My hands ran down his strong chest, moving across every scar he had and our foreheads pressed together and everything seemed so heightened and so intense. His growls, his grunts, it all fueled me. To think I could make such sounds come from his lips made me go crazy. My eyes closed and my head fell back and I gripped his shoulder so I could grind my hips harder against his. I let my body fall into deep pleasure and the look on Ujio's face told me he enjoyed it too. His face buried itself into my neck and he bit down on my jugular and I hummed in bliss.
His arms now locked around my back and he firmly pressed me into his chest and soon it truly felt like we were one. After a few more seconds he lifted me up and lied me on my back once more entering me and thrusting harder and violently. I knew he was close. I was close too. I gripped his arms hard and felt the pleasure hitting the top of some imaginary ceiling in my head. Both of our moans grew higher and weaker as I felt overwhelming pleasure shoot up inside me and in seconds I feel Ujio release everything inside me and we shiver hard against one another and Ujio holds me close as he slowly rides out the pleasure inside me.
I panted hard and fast feeling my walls pulsing from the pleasure and I look up at him for a moment and he kisses me slowly. We lied together in the grass until we both had the energy to move again. We found our clothes and got dressed and moved back to our people and curled up together by the fire and passed out. We awoke early and continued our journey into the mountains. Once we returned, I was embraced by the children once again and even their mothers came to welcome me and the other samurai back. But I knew this happy reunion could not last forever. Nathan walked up beside me and I looked at him.
"We must prepare." he said and I turned to him and looked him over.
"You are going to fight." I concluded and he nodded slowly.
"And this time, you cannot follow me." he said, and I winced at his words for they hurt a lot. There was never a place I couldn't go with Nathan, but I guess this time our journey together was over. I nodded slowly in understanding.
"Then you had better come back, too." I replied gently and he nodded giving a soft smile.
"When have I not?" he asked humorously. I tried to laugh, but it was a weak one at that. We knew how serious this was and I knew this could be the end.
