Life of a Dancer 2 - Chapter Eight
Axia awoke the next morning, lethargic. She then looked over and saw Kiniro still asleep. She then saw Chanson at her door. Looking down, she saw that the damage to her gown was not as extensive as she thought. Giving Chanson a signal to turn around so that she could remove herself from the bed, the child did so, and Axia left the bed, in search of her old lounging dress.
Finding the one that Aldo had bought her all those years ago, she donned black kimono and her slippers and joined Chanson outside her bedroom
"Nana, I brought you and the man some breakfast. Uncle said I would find him in here, and he was right." the child said
"Yes, his room was a bit chilled, so he came in for some warmth last night." she lied to the child.
"Tonight I will make sure his room is all toasty warm then." Chanson said earnestly believing Axia
Kiniro then heard the child in the other room. Leaning over he saw the clock say 1pm. Holding his hand over his eyes, he realized that he had to get going now with Axia, if they were going to make the meeting. He still hadn't told her either. Standing up, he grabbed his pants and tunic, and got dressed again.
As he emerged from the bedroom, he saw Axia. Looking at her in the kimono, he sent an image of what he would like to do with her right now, and that caused her to blush. He then saw the child on one of the chairs eating some of the breakfast that had been prepared for them. Sitting down on the opposite side of Axia, with Chanson between them, he saw the PecoPeco steak and eggs prepared for him. There was also some potatoes, and toast made. Coffee and juice was also there. Chanson was feasting on all the toast, but the child had left him one piece. Chanson kept the conversation going, talking about his cousins and their antics. Axia laughed when needed, but within her mind, he sensed, her mind was somewhere else.
Looking at the clock again, and seeing it at 1:30pm he had to tell her. "Chanson, would you mind if I spoke to your Nana alone?"
"Of course Kini. I have more chores to do, and I have to make sure that your room is all toasty so that you won't get cold again and sneak into Nana's bed again." the child said as Axia smiled and Kini nearly sent his coffee flying out of his mouth.
"Right...I like a room toasty...thank you for your thoughtfulness Chanson." Kiniro said and got up to walk with Chanson to the apartment door.
As Chanson left, he turned to Axia and said "Cold eh?"
Smiling she said to him "So what did you want to discuss with me, that could not be spoken in front of the child?"
"My purpose for approaching you in the first place." he said running his hand through his hair again
"I've noticed you do that when you are agitated. So what is up?" Axia said as she sat down on one of the couches
"My guild needs you. We do research. We find out things for the different kings of the land and then report back to them. Currently, we have a particularly dangerous mission, that requires finesse...and a dancer. There were other people in mind, but then I heard about your location and wanted to ask if you would do us this honour." Kiniro said standing up and bowing before her.
"So let me get this straight. You're a bunch of spies, and you need my abilities to handle things. That was all you wanted from me." she said trying to keep the hurt from her voice.
"Yes. That was originally all I wanted from you." he said as he came over to the couch and touched her face, bringing it closer to him. "That did change when I saw you naked that first time. I actually haven't thought about the mission since I first touched you. But I was reminded of it last night, when one of my commanders came to see me. She reminded me of the meeting we have at 4pm. So I have to go to it. I want you to come with me. I know you had to lay Lachlan down to rest today, but can you do it tomorrow?" he said
"Yes I can. Chanson was saying before you came in, he still hadn't made his decision. That has to be made, as it will break the bond between Lex and Lachlan. It will then create a new one between Chanson and Lachlan. If you haven't figured it out, Chanson is Lachlan's great great grandson. He and my sister had four children, but since then, there has only been one each generation. Chanson's father died recently, so Lachlan came out of hiding and has been raising him." Axia said as she had moved into her chambers as she was talking and was getting dressed.
"Lachlan was very protective of his lineage as Axis and Aila never had children from humans before. I remember just after he made Saphia pregnant that first time, she told me, he literally got off of her and started dancing. Aila had always told him that it was impossible for him to ever impregnate humans. It was her way of keeping him away from the chosen's." she said slightly laughing.
"Yeah I remember watching his behaviour with the barmaids before I made contact with him. He really was shameless with women." he said as he watched her gather items into a knapsack. He then realized that she had agreed, she just hadn't said the words. She was unconsciously doing it
As she slung the knapsack onto her back, she then said to him "Lachlan even brought Saphia in front of Aila a few days before she was to give birth, woke up his mother and said to her "Look and you said it couldn't be done!". Aila apparently clucked a bit and then told him that she had lied to him." Axia said as she got on her walking shoes and then turned to him and said, "We ready or what?"
OoO
As they emerged from the apartments, Lex met them at the door. "I see you didn't kill him Axia. Must be losing your touch." he said as she breezed by him
Kiniro on the other hand, was getting a bit tired of his mood, so he punched out Lex. Lex laid on the floor, with a bit of blood at one of the sides. He then grinned at him. "Well done, young man. It took Aldo 10 years of me digging into that Gypsy before he decked me. One night is all it took with you...hey Axia, he's a keeper." he said to Axia as she began down the stairs. Within Kiniro's mind he heard 'Moron' and he laughed out loud at that.
"Your hearing her aren't you?" Lex said nearly whispering.
"Yes. Lachlan made sure of that. I can hear her thoughts and feelings. He also made me as immortal as her." Kiniro said walking by Lex
Before he got out of share range, he heard Lex ask to no one "Why didn't he make Aldo immortal." and heard him cry softly.
As they were about to exit the mansion, Chanson grabbed onto Kiniro leg and said "Bring Nana back before it gets dark. The Dark Lord still haunts around here."
"I will, we will only be gone a few hours." Kiniro said to the child as he ruffled the boy's hair and followed Axia out the door.
Meeting them was Aurora. Sitting tall on her Peco, she looked at Axia in the light of day. Behind Axia, Kiniro watched her and narrowed his eyes. He then placed a protective arm around Axia's waist and guided her to the cart that was brought for Kiniro. Aurora could barely disguise her look of lust and just watched as Axia walked to the cart and climbed in.
"Remember what I told you Ora. Touch her again without her permission and I will kill you." he said as he followed Axia into the cart.
To no one, Aurora said "Oh don't you worry. I will get her permission and I will hear her screams of pleasure again too. This time it will be me that makes it happen, and not you." and with that trailed behind the cart as it carried them to the camp.
