Great Dreams part 2 by Jon Cook
Koh awoke to the smell of food cooking. This was unusual as he did the cooking and Weedy never woke before noon without a good reason. The only other person in the house was Selfi, so she must be the one cooking. After getting out of bed, he walked out to the kitchen, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes along the way. When he arrived in the kitchen, he saw Selfi standing in front of the stove, watching the eggs as they cooked.
"Selfi, you're the one cooking?" Koh asked with a hint of confusion in his voice.
"Yeah, Ghosh fired all of our servants last month, and Ghosh is too lazy to do anything other than impress girls. So I've had to learn to cook for the both of us." she replied.
Glancing at the clock, Koh saw that it was nearly 8:00 a.m. "You're up early." he stated.
"Not really," she replied. "I normally wake up around 7:30 most of the time. Oh! The eggs are done. I don't know how you like your eggs so I made them over easy." she said setting their plates down.
"I like them that way. Would you like something to drink?" Koh asked.
"Do you have any orange juice?"
"Sure. I'll get it, I mean, you did go through the trouble to make breakfast." Koh said.
As he walked away, Selfi couldn't help but take a look at his retreating backside. 'Oh God, is he hot!' was the only thing she could think of at the moment. When she saw Koh return, she quickly turned back to her breakfast with a blush spreading across her cheeks.
When Koh returned to the table, he noticed the red color on Selfi's cheeks. "Are you feeling alright, Selfi? Your face is all red. Are you sick?" he asked.
"No, I'm fine." Selfi said, feeling slightly embarrassed at being caught staring. For the rest of the meal, they both just talked about what they had done since the last time they had met. When they finished their meals, they continued to talk for about an hour until there came a loud pounding on the door.
"Koh! The Prince of Monsbaiya demands that you open your door to him!"
Selfi paled when she heard that voice. She turned to Koh with a wild, fearful look in her eyes. "Don't let him in here!" she whispered to him.
"Run to the bedroom. I'll send him away." he steadily replied. Selfi nodded and ran as fast and as quietly as she could. When she was out of the room, Koh walked to the door and opened it a crack, just enough to see Ghosh.
"What do you want, Ghosh?"
"I demand to know what you did with my sister!"
"Selfi? I haven't seen her all week." Koh said.
"Liar! I know she ran here last night."
"Ghosh, was there a legitimate reason for coming here, or did you just come here to harass me?"
"Where is Selfi?"
"I don't know. You could ask Fur, she might know."
"Perhaps I shall. I will speak with you again." said Ghosh before leaving. After he left, Koh looked out of his window to make sure that Ghosh was far away. Making sure, Koh went to the bedroom and found Selfie hiding in the corner of her room.
"I-is he gone?" she asked.
"Yeah, he's gone. I sent him over to Fur's. She's gonna hate me for that, but once I tell her why she'll understand."
"Thank you, Koh. I want to ask you something."
"Sure. What is it?"
"Can, can I stay with you for a while? I don't really want to go back home. I don't really think I can deal with Ghosh."
"Of course." said Koh with understanding in his eyes. No-one should have to deal with Ghosh when he's like this, especially when he has a hangover.
"We need to go back to my house so I can get dressed and pack some things." she said.
"Okay, Selfie. We can leave now if you want."
"Let's go. I want to get this done as soon as possible."
"Before we leave, I have to get some things. I'll just be a minute."
"Okay, but don't take too long." Selfie replied.
"I won't." Koh said, disappearing to his bedroom. He re-appeared three minutes later, fully dressed. "I thought it would be a good idea to bring some familiars just in case."
"Right. Let's go." she said.
They left his house and walked over to Selfie's house. Both of them walked rather quickly, wanting not to encounter Ghosh. Entering the house, Selfie went straight to her room and closed the door to change. She came back out ten minutes later with two bags, full of clothes. "Koh do you think that there's enough room in your hut to keep my familiars?"
"I think so. How many do you have?"
"Let's see, I've got a Troll, a Griffin, a Viper, a Stealth, a Golem, and a Death, so I've got six familiars."
"Sure, I've got more than enough room."
"Good. Let's go get them." she said before entering the hut with Koh. She walked up to each of her familiars and placed all of them into another bag. They were all set to leave when a familiar silhouette stood in the front door.
Ghosh.
"What do you think you are doing?" Ghosh asked.
"N-nothing." Selfie replied.
"Really? It doesn't look like nothing to me. It looks like you're going someplace."
"Leave her alone, Ghosh." said Koh
"Oh? Who asked you to be here?"
"I did." replied Selfie.
The look on Ghosh's face darkened. "Why did you do that?" he practically growled.
"To protect her from you." Koh growled back, moving in front of Selfie protectively.
"Not if I have anything to do about that." Ghosh snarled at Koh before charging at him.
As Ghosh got nearer, Koh reared back his fist and let it fly into Ghosh's face. Ghosh staggered backwards, stalling enough for Koh to bring out his Block familiar.
After bringing out his familiar, Koh instructed it to cast LoBind at Ghosh. LoBind worked and paralyzed Ghosh. As Ghosh lie there on the floor, unable to move, Koh recalled his Block back to his pocket.
"Okay, Selfie. We can leave now. Everything's okay." said Koh.
"You know Ghosh's never going to forgive this. He's going to remember this until the day he dies." replied Selfie as she and Koh left the house.
"In any case, let's leave before Ghosh regains the use of his legs." said Koh.
When they reached Koh's home, they found Fur waiting outside with an angry expression on her face. Finally noticing Koh and Selfie out of the corner of her eye, she turned to face them, with her arms crossed over her chest and tapping her foot impatiently.
"What's the big deal with sending Ghosh to my front door so early in the morning? And where have you been?" Fur asked indignantly.
"I'll tell you when we get inside the house, okay?" responded Koh.
"Fine, but you better have a good explanation." Fur said.
Fifteen minutes later, after Selfie had told of the events that transpired last night and Koh telling what had happened this morning, Fur was livid. Not with Koh, but with Ghosh. "How could he have done something like that to his own sister?" she wondered aloud.
"I don't know, but something's wrong with him, that much is sure." Koh said.
"What's going to happen with Selfie?" Fur asked.
"Until this thing with Ghosh is resolved, Selfie will be staying here with me." Koh replied.
"That's good. If you want, Selfie, you're welcome to stay with me from time to time." said Fur.
"Thank you, Fur." she replied.
"Is there anyone that you want me to tell this to?" inquired Fur.
"Um, Patty, Cherryl, and Nico. That's all." replied Selfie.
"Okay. Is there anything I can get you from my store?"
"Nothing at the moment, but I'll let you know if I do."
"Alright. Koh, I don't think you should go the tower today, Selfie might need you to keep Ghosh away."
"I wasn't planning to. LoBind only works for so long and Ghosh will be back."
"Okay, I have to get back to my store. I'll see the two of you later, alright?"
"That'll be fine, Fur. I'll show you out." Koh said, rising to see Fur out. After seeing her out, Koh let Selfie unpack her things in her room. When that was done, he showed her to the hut. Selfie placed all her monsters in the back corner of the room. After that, Koh made lunch for himself, Selfie, and his sister Weedy.
As the smell of the soup Koh was making wafted throughout the house, it attracted the attention of a not quite awake little sister. The aroma immediately brought Weedy from half asleep to completely awake. After smelling the soup, Weedy arose from her bed and dressed herself before departing for the kitchen.
"Hey, Selfie, are you joining us for lunch?" was her question as she saw Selfie sitting at the dining room table.
"We need to talk with you about that, Weedy." said Koh in that 'this is important so don't interrupt' tone of voice.
"What is it?" asked Weedy.
"We'll tell you after lunch." replied Koh.
"Okay." said Weedy as she sat down to the table.
After lunch, Weedy sat down and listened for fifteen minutes as Koh and Selfi recanted the discussion they had earlier with Fur. Weedy was just as angry as Fur was, if not more.
"That - that - BASTARD! I'll kill him the next time I see him! I'm gonna rip his balls off and shove 'em up his ass!" was all Weedy could say about what Selfie's brother had done. Koh sat there with a worried look on his face, wondering where his 16-year-old sister learned such language.
"Don't worry about it Weedy. Before we came here, I punched him square in the face. After that, I had my Block use LoBind on him. Even if Ghosh comes here, I'll have one of my familiars on guard each night. They'll take care of him." said Koh. That seemed to calm his sister down.
"Okay, Koh. I'll let you deal with Ghosh, but you have to let me kick him in the balls at least once." she said before looking at the clock. "Oh hell, I'm gonna be late." she stated before running to her room. Weedy came out three minutes later, fully dressed. "I'm going over to Kara's place. I should be back before nightfall. If not, I'm probably staying at her place." she said hurriedly before leaving the house.
The rest of the day proceeded smoothly, without any interruptions from Ghosh. Koh and Selfie sat inside and talked some more about what they had been doing with their lives and what they wanted to with their lives. Selfie completely surprised Koh with her hidden desire to just be a wife and mother. Nothing more, nothing less. Selfie actually blushed as she said it, expecting him to laugh at her. Koh had no right to laugh, seeing as he wanted the exact same thing. Koh blushed as he admitted it. It wasn't as big as Selfie's, but he still blushed.
Dinner was chicken and rice, not much but it was all he had left to make dinner with. The meal was a quiet affair. Not much was said, both of them had said all that they wanted to say then. Halfway through dinner, it started to rain. Rain almost always came every ten years in what was called Decade Storms. The clouds would hold all the moisture they had acquired for years and only release it every ten years. Koh and Selfie had to run all over the house to close all the windows.
When 10 o' clock rolled around, Koh and Selfie decided to go to bed. Neither of them could sleep very well. It was about 11 p.m. when Selfie came into Koh's room. In the dim light that the moon provided, Koh could see that Selfie was dressed a pair of purple shorts that were rather tight and skimpy, and a white button-up half tank cutoff.
"Can't sleep?"
"Neither are you."
"Do you need something?"
"I was dreaming that Ghosh came to get me and you weren't there to help me, and it, I'm just a little unnerved by it. I was wondering if I could stay with you tonight."
Koh had no reason to say no. A gorgeous, half-naked young woman was practically asking to sleep with him.
"Sure, Selfie. Hop in." said Koh as he pulled down the covers for her. She climbed into his bed and pulled the covers over them both before resting her head on his shoulder.
"Thank you." Selfie said timidly.
"Don't worry about it. Goodnight." replied Koh.
"Goodnight." Selfie returned.
Selfie fell asleep almost instantly, but Koh was awake a little longer, suddenly struck by how, right this all felt. Koh fell asleep with a slight smile on his face.
Author's Notes: When I originally thought of this fic, I imagined it as nothing more than a series of unconnected lemon one-shots, starting with Selfie. As I started writing this, it felt wrong to me. I just couldn't do that. I have decided that there definitely WILL be a lemon scene in this fic. I just don't know where to put that scene.
In any case, review and tell me what you think. Unsolicited advice on how to write will be considered flaming.
