Hope and Light: Silver Star Story
Episode Nineteen: Sincere Knowledge interlude
"So, anyone have anymore ideas?" Joe caught sight of Gomamon opening his mouth(yet again) and quickly added, "Who isn't Gomamon and with any suggestion involving aquatic life?"
Gomamon pouted, having been shut down quite effectively.
It had been several hours after they had departed from Lann for the third time, when Tai came up with an idea; coming up with a name for their pretty large group. The problem; the majority of them seemed to be a little too arrogant sounding, and were rather long.
"How about 'Defenders of Justice?'" Agumon suggested.
"Or, 'Great warriors for the innocent?'" Garurumon threw onto the table.
"I have one!" Mina called out. "'The Fighters of Love and Friendship!'"
Rini face palmed, even as the rest of them turned to look at her in disbelief. They all should have known that she was going to suggest something with the word love thrown in.
"How about not?" Luna One replied, shaking her little furry head. "Honestly, you people just like making the weirdest sounding names."
"Coming up with a long name that'll most likely get mangled in the long run, with an abbreviation that will make no sense?"
"Exactly."
"I have one!" Nash smiled. "The Great Warriors of Lunar."
"How about the Alliance?" Mimi suggested simply, shaking her head exasperatedly. Seriously, simplicity worked when it came to names!
"...That works."
The young woman turned to Luna One smugly. "See, Luna One. Some of us can think simply."
Luna One had the good grace to both blush slightly, and smirk at the same time. "Of course. Whatever was I thinking?"
Izzy chuckled, turning to Alex. "Now that we have that settled…"
"We stop here," Alex finished, bringing his mount to a stop. "Let's set up camp, have dinner, tell the most terrifying stories we have, then find out who the head leader is, just so we don't have three chiefs going at it when it counts most."
Joe sighed. "I don't need to tell a story," he said. "I'm living it. I mean, look who I'm partnered with."
"Hey!" Gomamon shouted, incensed.
The aspiring Dragonmaster chuckled. "Good point."
"Alex," Nall began, "weren't you the one who hid behind Luna Two because Ramus managed to get his hands on some old make-up, and decided to play a trick on you?"
"He looked like a rabid wolf." Alex shuddered at the memory, even as the young woman in question started giggling. "I have a phobia for wolves, as you well know. But as you can see, I haven't been scarred for life... yet. I mean, I still have you."
Jupiter grinned at the little creature's pout. "And that's what counts." She got off her mount, and made to make a fire. "Hey, I'm going to see if I can find us some rocks!" she called out. "That way, we have a fire ring!"
Izzy nodded. It was going to be somewhat chilly tonight. He turned to Mimi, saw her watching him again. She blushed. "Sorry," she muttered.
Izzy chuckled, not the least worried. "Mimi, I think it's been made aware to us that we've been staring at each other for quite some time. So don't apologize for anything."
Mimi nodded, grateful that he wasn't upset, then realized something important. Something that, now that she thought about it, should have been obvious from the get go. "Umm, Izzy?"
"Yes, Mimi?"
"For some reason, I don't think I'm the only one that looks older. You do, as well."
"Huh?"
Palmon took a closer look, then blinked. "You know, I think she's on to something. You do look different." She frowned. "In fact, you look as old as Mimi does right now."
Now Izzy was extremely confused, as what they were saying was completely impossible. He turned around. "Anybody got a mirror?" he asked.
Tai turned around. "If they've made a discovery about you looking older than you actually are, then join the club."
Izzy's jaw dropped.
For the first time in the two months they had been on Lunar, he saw, really saw, how much Tai had changed on the outside. His features were more defined, more like a seventeen year old then a thirteen year old. And the weird thing was, he hadn't noticed it before.
Venus pulled out a mirror, and handed it to him. Her own eyes widened in surprise as she took in Izzy's facial features. "Here you go. And just for the record, I agree with Palmon and Mimi."
Izzy took a look into the mirror, and promptly stared, like he was seeing the impossible. Which, in effect, he was.
Before he and his friends had been pulled into Lunar, he and Mimi had been both at the beginning of adolescence, like their friends. They both had had their birthdays, and had both decided to take the time to explore other things because of it. Hence, Izzy's sudden desire to learn archery, and Mimi's exploration of humor. They even had that adolescent mentality; not quite a child, not quite an adult.
But now…Izzy's features were indeed more defined, with most of the last remnants of baby fat seemingly dissolving into thin air. He no longer looked thirteen, but almost four, five years older.
But now that he had noticed how he looked, he also noticed that his body had filled out as well. He had obtained a bit of muscle along the way, most likely due to all of the walking and fighting they had done. It was very unsettling. What was more, he noted how he was acting. It was like he had gone through four years of mental and emotional development as well, within the course of several months.
He handed the mirror back to Venus. "Thanks," he said automatically. "This explains a great deal."
Tai sighed. "Tell me about it. And the scary thing, is that Joe, Sora, or Matt haven't matured in the same way."
Now that Izzy thought about it, Sora, Joe, and Matt still looked their age, with all of their features the same as they were when they had left Earth. It didn't make sense to him. Why would three of them age faster than the others?
Apparently, it was a mystery that could wait until later, when they were safely ensconced back in Vane. At this rate, none of them had any idea as to when they were going home. That was the mystery he was going to turn his incredible intellect towards solving.
"Hey!" Jupiter's voice suddenly broke through his trail of thought, "I found something, guys!"
Izzy turned around to see Lita run up the slope, the rocks she needed in her hands. "What?" he asked.
The Senshi of Lightning set the rocks done, not even breathing hard. "I found a lake down there," she said. "A nice, clean lake."
"Which means we can replenish our water reserves," Serena replied. "And we can get clean. Mimi, can you do a water purification charm?"
"Lemme look it up, and you're on, Meatball Head." Mimi pulled her book out, and started flipping through the pages. "Got it!" she crowed. "This one's strong enough to purify an ocean of everything that isn't supposed to be there! A lake's going to be no problem!"
"Great! Tomorrow morning, we can all get these clothes cleaned, and ourselves. Anybody got soap?"
Luna Two and Sora pulled out about eight bars. "This should be enough, right?" Sora asked.
Rei laughed. "Talk about being prepared for personal hygiene!"
"I just like being prepared. This wasn't our first alternate world, after all."
"Fair point."
Tai and Alex chuckled for a bit as well. "Well, let's get our water bottles replenished, and then get camp ready," Alex stated. "Otherwise, we'll go hungry, and be trying to sleep on empty stomachs because of it."
Everyone agreed. After all, what good were provisions if they didn't use them?
Izzy looked at Jupiter. "Did you know about this?" Lita's answering nod and grin made him slightly annoyed. "And you never said anything!"
Lita shrugged. "Why?" she replied. "It was nice looking at you. I found someone who didn't look like my first boyfriend, and is just there to be looked at." She grinned. "I think you'd find that Mimi will agree with this; You're a hunk."
Izzy decided not to answer. After all, what could he say to that?
After dinner, the newly dubbed Alliance got their bed rolls and sleeping bags out, setting them up as they always did. They also had a small contest as to whether or not the males could go first. They lost, of course. Then they had a contest as to whether or not to allow the Digimon in with them. The Digimon won, if only because Agumon threatened to set their clothes on fire if they didn't.
Finally, after several hours of talking and laughing, they all retired for the night, hoping to God or the Goddess that they were not attacked. They had a long day ahead of them tomorrow, and they would need all the rest they could get.
Their wish would be granted, but they should have also requested that no one spy on them, either.
The Uruk-Hai watched them from his vantage point, his eyes roaming the entire camp, until he found who he was looking for. He kept up a diligent observation, always awake, always silent, never moving from his lookout.
In truth, he didn't have to be here. There were no plans to enact, no recon to do. Their leader had decided to allow them to return to Vane, where she could deal with them personally. So he had some free time.
And he spent it watching young Tachekawa.
From the first moment he had laid eyes on her, he had found himself unable to think of anyone else. She was like a slice of Heaven, the great gods gift to existence. Silky hair, colored golden like honey, brown eyes that expressed her every emotion. And a body that anyone would want to claim for their own.
He found that he wanted her…no, needed her in a way that transcended the physical. His dreams were filled with visions of her, and he had found himself wondering how she would feel beneath him. Even now, he imagined what it would feel like to run his hands over her soft curves, touch those delectable breasts, bury himself into her warmth…
And there she was, with that Digi-Destined of Knowledge, Koushiro Izumi, who was flirting with her!
The shadow could barely stand it. A vision of loveliness, in the presence of such filth! She deserved so much more. She deserved better.
Forcing himself to calm down, he refocused his thoughts, going through several calming techniques that he knew. It didn't matter if she was in the presence of filth at the moment. The reality of it was soon, she would join them willingly.
After all, she would be his… and no one else's.
His hands ran down her body, so gentle, yet so firm on her flesh, familiarizing himself of every aspect of her as he did so. It was an amazing feeling for her
She could feel her body responding to his with desire as he kissed her passionately, taking his time, exploring her very crevice of her mouth. She returned the favor, battling his tongue ardently.
He caressed her breasts, running his thumbs over her nipples gently, feeling them harden at the attention he was giving them. She cooed in pleasure, the sound muffled by his lips.
She moaned in disappointment when his lips left hers, then moaned again as he started planting little kisses over her neck and down her chest, doing it very slowly, before latching onto one of her breasts, suckling on her nipple for a moment before going over to the other one to give it the same treatment, while his hand went even lower, reaching the nest of curls between her thighs. He kissed her stomach, darting his tongue into her belly button, before heading back up. Looking up at her intently, he started to gently massage her groin, working the sensitive muscles there with care.
She felt like she was going to spontaneously combust. Her skin was on fire, her breaths were coming out in gasps. Delicious sensations coursed through her as he aroused her body, building her up to the point of no return.
Her hips started to thrust in an ancient rhythm as she felt herself approaching the brink. He responded to her growing excitement by removing his finger, and moving above her. She arched slightly, retching a groan from him. Her eyes were glittering with overwhelming lust, a gaze that matched his own in terms of sheer intensity. He thrust forward, impaling himself to the hilt.
She closed her eyes at the feeling of them being joined, a smile gracing her face. They stayed that way for a moment, savoring the sensations for as long as both could stand to. Then, wrapping her arms and legs around him, she began to move slowly, rocking against him. He began to move as well, pulling back out of her and thrusting back in. Their speed slowly increased as their passion grew, until…
Mimi shot up, gasping for breath, though it was not out of fear. She looked around for a second as she tried to regain her bearings, trying to calm her beating heart as she did so. When she saw where she was, and that she was, in fact, still at the camp sight, she let out a sigh of relief... or was it disappointment? 'Just a dream,' she thought. 'Just a dream.'
It had certainly felt real, though. The feeling of Izzy's hands on her body, those kisses, the way her body had responded to his every move…
Hold on, her body?
Looking down, she could feel her nipples pushing against her clothing, both dress and shift, and could feel the dampness between her thighs. Her breath was deep, somewhat uneven, like she had just run a marathon. She could feel a faint sheen of sweat on her forehead, and an ache inside her that she couldn't explain. 'Good Lord, am I also maturing sexually?' she asked herself rhetorically, as she already knew the answer to that. She also knew that she had never had such arousing dreams before. Then again, she was probably dreaming of what she hadn't been willing to admit to herself, or anyone else for that matter.
Laying back down, she tried to control her breathing so she could go back to sleep, but found it impossible to do. She groaned as her dress rubbed against her breasts, as her thighs rubbed against each other, the pressure arousing her even further. An image of her dream swam across her vision, which certainly didn't help matters any.
She finally sat back up, slightly irritated with her inability to control herself. "Goddess, I hope you're happy," she grumbled, getting up, and grabbing a towel from her back pack. "Guess I'll take a swim." With that, she headed in the direction of the lake. She didn't know if it was cold, or not. All she knew was that she needed to work some of this excess energy off, or she was going to go crazy... or she was going to jump the first guy she came across. And wouldn't that be interesting to talk about to Sora?
When Mimi had first seen the lake that afternoon, she had noted how clear the water was, free of debris and algae, and how the fading sunlight reflected off the surface, making it seem like it was golden. Truly a beautiful thing.
Now, though, under the stars of the night sky, the lake now seemed ethereal, looking more like a pane of glass. It was so still, that it was like a mirror, reflecting the Blue Star's image perfectly.
Reaching the lake, she set her towel down. Then she took a look around. She saw that the ground had several rocks strewn about, though all of them were smooth, and there were nothing for anyone to hide behind. Satisfied with that, she began to untie the string at the top of her dress.
Had Mimi paid more attention to detail, and if she could discern such things at night, she would have noticed that one of the rocks out there was not a rock, but in fact, a small pile of clothing. However, the cloth was dark, and thus hidden by the darkness. And besides, everyone else was still asleep as far as she knew. Who would still be awake at this hour? Normally not her. She was a very heavy sleeper.
Finally freeing the knot, she put her hands on her hips, and pushed down, letting the dress fall to her feet. She took another look around as she stepped out of it, just be on the safe side. Once more satisfied that no one was watching, she pulled her shift over her head, putting it next to her dress. She stretched her arms out, working the kinks out, letting the cool breeze wash over her naked body. Then, she started walking to the water, resisting the urge to touch herself along the way.
She had the feeling that if she did, she'd probably wake up the rest of them with her moans. She didn't feel like embarrassing herself this night.
The shadow had entered a meditative state an hour after the Alliance had gone to sleep. He came out of it almost six hours later, completely refreshed, and ready to move if it became necessary. It was the middle of the night. The Blue Star was shining brightly in the night sky, and the stars were all out, giving an ethereal glow to the area.
Standing up, as he couldn't watch the young Mimi forever, he was ready to head back to the Frontier to get his new instructions, if any, when something caught his eye. Intrigued, he let his gaze focus it on it.
What he saw enthralled him, and made him rethink his previous viewpoint.
There, walking towards the lake, was a true vision of beauty in his eyes; Mimi Tachekawa, naked as the day she was born, was walking towards the lake without a shred of modesty. He saw everything from his vantage point, from her ample bosom, which was swaying slightly as she moved, her nipples hardening in the cool morning air. He observed her legs and abdomen, which were toned from exercise, and perfect in every way. And he saw, between her legs, a light nest of honey colored curls that hid her secret treasures from sight. The very sight of her, in all of her glory, made him ache for her even more.
He watched as she put a hand in the water, testing its temperature. Apparently, she was satisfied with it, so she headed in, walking in until it covered her chest. Then, after a moment, he saw her dive under, and out of sight for a moment. She emerged a minute later, slicking her hair back over her head, before she started swimming.
Deciding that he could stay around a while longer, he made himself comfortable. Voyeurism was something he had never done before, as he had never had a reason to, but he was the spy of the Uruk-Hai. This shouldn't be any more difficult. And it was infinitely more rewarding.
After all, this was something that no man, be they human or demon, would want to miss.
Palmon slowly stirred, then cracked one eye open, sweeping the camp sight. She saw that Mimi's sleeping bag was empty, and assumed that she had gone to take care of her womanly needs. Satisfied with that, she took another look, absently noting how Phacia seemed almost like a statue when sleeping, before her eyes landed on something that stirred a bit of interest.
Izzy wasn't in his bedroll either.
The little cactus was confused for a moment, then a small smile appeared on her face as she had a thought. 'Izzy probably asked Mimi if she wanted to take a walk. Not a bad thing.' She almost giggled, but decided against it. 'I just hope they don't get together until Tento and I play matchmaker. That'll ruin our fun.'
Pleased with her conclusion to the matter, she set her head back down, and went back to sleep.
Mimi moved almost like a mermaid through the lake, enjoying the feeling of water moving around her. Her body, like she had told Sora, had matured very rapidly, apparently stopping when she had all the curves of a young lady. The growth spurt she had just had over the last few days had helped it along. She was perfectly proportioned, with curves in all the right places and not an ounce of flab. And she had a gravity defying rack that most women would probably kill to have to boot. She honestly hoped no one did. Though considering that most of the Lunarian ladies that she had seen were similarly endowed, she had a feeling that she didn't have a whole lot to worry about.
She had been in there for what seemed like hours, probably because it had been hours, and she still was wound up tightly. Her breathing had returned to normal, at least, so she didn't have to tell the others that she had decided to take a little jog.
Surfacing once more to get a breath of fresh air, she slicked her hair back and wiped the water out of her eyes as she did so. Paddling water for a moment, she looked up to the sky. She saw the Blue Star, in all of its beauty, and all the stars in the heavens were out. The sight of them enchanted her.
'It's never like this at home,' she thought, a pang of home sickness making its presence felt. 'There, the lights of the city always block all but the brightest stars. Here, though…it's like I took a trip to the past. It's…breathtaking.'
She continued staring at it for a few moments more before deciding to continue swimming. She was still wound up tighter then a clock, though it wasn't as bad as before. And she felt like she could go on for a very long time. Deciding that it wouldn't hurt, she also decided to see how long she could hold her breath. With that in mind, she dove under the water again.
She had been at it for almost ten minutes, with no real need to resurface, when her hand brushed up against something. Nothing to be overly concerned about.
Then it moved when just before her fingers had passed by.
Mimi resurfaced quickly, thinking that she had brushed up against an animal. However, she remembered that Mercury had done a scan of the lake, and had declared it free of any form of life aside from plants on the water bed. So it left only one other conclusion. It was confirmed when someone surfaced behind her, gasping.
There was someone else in the lake with her. And if it was Gomamon, she was going to do some serious damage to his ability to procreate. This in mind, she turned around, looking for the little furry digimon.
Her eyes, since they were looking at the water, fell onto a chest. A toned chest. A human chest. Slowly, her eyes rose, finally locking onto a set of black on black eyes.
Mimi was speechless.
So was Izzy.
For a moment, the two of them stared at each other in amazement. Neither one of them had expected to anyone else in the lake with them, let alone each other. And especially in such…compromising circumstances.
Every feeling Mimi had been trying to suppress returned full force. Her dream came back to her, which had the effect of arousing her once again. Something that, at this moment, wasn't such a good thing.
Izzy managed to keep his eyes focused on Mimi's face, though he was applying all of his will power to do so. He was honestly not prepared for anything of this nature happening. Intellectually, he knew that there was no way to prepare for this. He had been unable to sleep, due to all of the thoughts that were flitting through his mind. Namely, he was thinking about how his own apparent increase of age, physically, of course, as well as several fantasies about Mimi, all of them with her with nothing on at all. It was causing him physical discomfort, as these things usually do, so he had decided to take a relaxing swim. However, he had been under the impression that everyone else was asleep. And Mimi was notorious for being a heavy sleeper, unless they were attacked.
So, it came as no surprise that he hadn't been prepared for this. Though, logically, judging by the similar expression on Mimi's face, she had been thinking the same exact thing.
A near overwhelming wave of desire crashed through him, almost robbing him of conscious thought. He could feel himself responding, and struggled to control it. The fact that he was so close to Mimi was hindering that somewhat. He tried to play it cool, however. "So, Mimi, fancy meeting you here, and under such… revealing circumstances. 'Open mouth, insert foot!' he berated himself.'Revealing circumstances? That is the best you could come up with?!'
"Oh, yes." Mimi didn't say anything more than that. She knew that if she opened her mouth again, she was going to launch herself at Izzy, and not let go for a good long while.
The boy in question backpedaled a ways from her, trying to get some distance so as to regain some common sense. It didn't work all that well, as he could see that she was as naked as he was. He smiled shakily. "I guess neither of us were expecting to see anyone else here," he said calmly, considering the fact that he was applying all of his control to speaking normally.
Mimi sighed in relief, her surprise ebbing away as well. It was the only thing that went away, but it was a start. "So, couldn't sleep?" she asked, already growing more comfortable with the situation, and regaining enough of her control in the process so she could actually speak coherently.
"Not really." Izzy doggy paddled, his arm muscles showing little strain. He was a pretty good swimmer as well, among other things. He had to be, considering what had happened in his life so far. "I had a great many things on my mind, mostly trying to figure out how you, myself, and Tai managed to age almost four years in about two and a half months both mentally and physically, and not the others. You?"
The dream came back to her again, arousing her even further. She could feel her sheath moisten, something that the water seemed not to want to take away. "Oh…just a dream," she said, omitting the steamy details. "I couldn't get back to sleep, so I decided to take a swim." She blushed. "I guess I should have done a more thorough search of the area."
"My clothes are purple, Mimi. A very dark purple. You probably mistook them for a rock. And I decided to take a relaxing swim as well." He sighed. "I probably should have looked a proper form of swim attire," he added.
Mimi shook her head, a slight smile gracing her lips. "Don't worry about it. I checked for just that. The only swim wear they have is something you would have worn in 1900. Not exactly a fashion bell ringer, or really safe to swim in. I think that's because most people swim in the nude here. They apparently have developed a very effective way of where it's okay, and where it isn't." She suddenly thought of something. "What did I brush up against?" she asked, curious.
Izzy blushed. Despite the fact that they were alone in the water. He didn't answer… though he didn't have to
Mimi turned an interesting shade of red as she figured it out. She suddenly had an image of his pride and joy in her head. And she already knew that it was very firm, which did not help matters any. "Oh, your…"
"Uh, huh." Izzy, now that he knew who had brushed by him, was having a very difficult time concentrating. He was trying to stay in his present position, and that required all of his attention. He felt himself harden to the point of almost being painful, and prayed that the water could cover it.
The young woman developed a sudden interest in the ripples on the water. This night was turning out a whole lot differently than she had anticipated. "Well, I can't think of another way for someone to swim… aside from wearing swimwear."
Izzy, his concentration broken, turned to stare at her, his eyes darkening, and really glad that they were already dark to begin with. "Well, I though you would at least be wearing a shift, though judging from your bare shoulders…"
"It was starting to drive me crazy!" Mimi blurted out, then blinked in surprise, as if she hadn't meant to say that.
He arched an eyebrow. "How was it doing that?" he asked.
She thought hard for a moment, then decided to tell the truth. After all, she was the Digi-Destined of Sincerity, and he would eventually find out, anyway. She took a breath, readying herself. "Remember when I said that I had a dream?" A nod answered her question. "Well, it was a…very arousing dream. So arousing, in fact, that when I woke up, it had been translated by my body rather well. I tried to go back to sleep, but my clothes kept rubbing against my chest, making it worse, so I decided to take a swim to get my mind off of it." She looked up, blushing brightly. "It's not working," she added sheepishly, getting ready to bolt.
Izzy nodded, a little surprised by this, but recovered well enough. A thought came to him, a smile not too far behind. Apparently, he wasn't the only one with problems. And he was a guy. "Well, I too wasn't completely honest," he confessed. "I wasn't just thinking about our definitive increase in age. I also had a few…thoughts that were not exactly…scientific. I am assuming that your dream was much the same way." Mimi nodded. "Now, this is going to sound very… egotistical of me, but…was I in your dream?"
Mimi nodded, not trusting herself to speak. She waited for him to tell her that logically, a relationship between them would not be a good idea, that they were too different for it to work, that if it failed, it would create problems for the team.
Izzy's chuckle surprised her, and she saw humor, and another emotion that she couldn't place, in his eyes. "Well, I'll say that you were in my fantasies," he revealed. "And... they were quite vivid." He smiled at her befuddled expression. "I guess what I'm trying to say is that…we really don't have anything to worry about, now do we? We obviously want one another in more than a friendly capacity."
Mimi began smiling as well, moving a little closer. She hadn't physically relaxed from that admission, but she was somewhat more accepting to the point. "Well, I don't know if we don't have anything to worry about," she said, "but I found that little admission very…liberating."
Izzy nodded. "I agree." He grinned mischievously, a thought coming to him. "I have an idea," he said. "How about we tell each other what we are thinking right now. That way, we'll know if we're thinking on the same lines."
"Okay, you first then." She tilted her head slightly, hoping. "What are you thinking right now, Koushiro Izumi?"
He was silent for a moment as he organized his thoughts. "I was thinking about kissing the most beautiful woman that I have ever seen in my life, and how it would feel." He looked at her, the emotion sharpening in his eyes. "It's your turn now, Mimi Tachekawa?"
Mimi smiled, finally recognizing the emotions in Izzy's eyes. Love, and definite need. She found herself wondering how long he had felt this way. "I am thinking about how it would feel like to be kissed by the most handsome young man I have ever seen, and kissing him back."
Izzy's smile became mysterious. "It appears we are on the same thought processes after all," he said hoarsely. "Do you think it will happen?"
Her heart was beating rapidly from nervousness and anticipation. She had never done this before, and "Only one way to find out," she whispered, paddling closer, closing the distance between them. She put her hands on his chest, feeling the muscles tense beneath her fingertips, a sharp intake of breath letting her know that he was affected by that. Reveling in the power she had just received, she slowly slid them up to his shoulders.
Izzy put his arms tentatively on her, slowly running his hands up and down her back before latching onto her hips. He stared at her for almost a minute, as if reassuring himself that this was actually happening, then slowly brought his lips down to hers.
The second their lips touched, Mimi was lost. It was like ambrosia to her. He was gentle and tentative as well, giving her the option of pulling back. Instead, she wrapped her arms around him as well, hands interlocking behind his neck as she began to kiss him back, just as gentle. 'Oh, this is amazing,' she thought, her mind hazy at the sensations running through her. 'Why was I afraid of this? It's so incredible.' She began to kiss him more deeply, the tip of her tongue running across his lower lip in a teasing gesture.
Izzy felt something shoot through him as he gave out a small groan, opening his mouth instinctively at the gesture. He felt Mimi's tongue enter his mouth, skimming the roof of it, and shuddered at it. 'This is probably what joy feels like,' he thought, as his tongue went out to do battle. It was infinitely better than anything books or computers could ever tell him, though he was curious as to how she could kiss so good. Deciding that it could wait, he brought Mimi closer, until their bodies made contact.
Mimi moaned into Izzy's mouth as their bodies, especially their lower bodies, pressed together intimately, nothing separating them. She could feel his arousal pressed against her stomach, her breasts rubbing against his chest, both serving to fire her up even further. In a supreme moment of weakness, she slid one of her legs up, rubbing up against his thigh, retching a groan from deep within him.
Izzy tore his lips away from Mimi's at the move, stared at her for a moment, as if to reassure himself that she was real, then began planting little, arousing kisses down her throat, sucking on the skin for a second each time. He raised Mimi up, not difficult in this case, considering where they were, as he went downward. His mouth branded her as he finally reached her breasts, his mouth latching onto a nipple, and suckling.
Mimi threw her head back, a long, drawn out moan leaving her as she did so. This was more intense than anything in her dream. Her core was pulsating now, wanting something more. "Izzy," she said softly, her hips moving slightly in want. "Please…"
Izzy, perhaps hearing her, and understanding what she wanted, kept one arm around her waist to keep her aloft as he reached down between her thighs as he brought his gaze back to hers, staring into her eyes. He saw permission, and brushed against her curls. Mimi gasped, her eyes darkening. He began to slowly massage her sheath gently, leaning in to kiss her deeply, his tongue entwining with hers so as to muffle her groans of pleasure.
Mimi was now in pure bliss, transported into a realm she didn't even know existed. Never had she ever felt such desire as she did now. Never before had she felt anything remotely like the sensations coursing through her as Izzy touched her there. She moaned into his mouth as he worked her softness.
It didn't take a genius to realize that what they were feeling was stronger than what thirteen year olds should be able to feel, and was rather more appropriate for young adults. However, neither of them questioned it. Instead, they rode the wave.
Izzy could feel her approaching the edge, so he decided to try something different. He stopped his administrations, making her growl passionately. Whether it was because she had enjoyed the treatment, or because he had stopped, he didn't know. He wasn't going to keep her at the edge either. He waited for a few seconds more, then suddenly pushed one finger into her.
That was all it took.
Mimi's vision exploded into a million shards, and she arched, her mouth tearing away from his as a gasp ripped itself from her. For a moment, all she could see was the Blue Star, shining above her. Her mind was practically blank, no thought entering her mind for a few seconds.
Then it was over, and she slumped, her head resting on Izzy's shoulder. She could feel his finger leaving her, and his hands running up and down her back soothingly as she came back down from her crest. She raised her head, and looked at him, smiling softly.
The shadow had seen everything.
'How dare he touch her?! How dare HE?!' he thought in outrage, every ounce of self control that he possessed being called upon to prevent him from launching himself at the Digi-Destined of Knowledge, and crushing him into dust. He had watched as Mimi allowed the infidel to touch her, branding her body with his lips. He watched as she cried out in ecstasy, and couldn't help thinking that she looked even more beautiful now, than ever before.
His communicator buzzed, startling him. He pulled it out, and activated it. "Yes?" he whispered.
"Return to Vane, J'onro," Bara's voice said. "Lord Racc and Lady Royce have everything in position."
"Understood. I shall return then." J'onnro snapped his communicator shut, and took one last look at the couple in the lake. 'Soon,' he thought. 'Soon, lady Tachekawa, you will be mine. I promise you.'
He vanished.
Izzy smiled at the look of bliss that graced Mimi's features, happy that he had been able to give her pleasure. He ran his hands up and down her back, enjoying the feeling of muscles shivering at the contact. "Mimi?" he asked. "How did it feel?"
Mimi looked at him, in absolute peace now. Her problems were now gone. "Izzy, that was wonderful," she whispered. "Thank you…" She frowned slightly. "What about you?" she asked. She could still feel his arousal, and that it seemed… harder than before. How that was possible, she wasn't going to take a guess.
"I'll be fine," he replied. "I may never sleep again, but I'll be fine." He grinned. "Needless to say, that was very…informative."
'Izzy talk for being…amazing.' She giggled. "Still," she said, surprised at her own boldness in this situation. "I think something should be done for you as well. You pleased, so I should please you in a similar fashion." She lowered her hand down his body, admiring the feel of his skin as she did so, until her fingers lightly touched him where it ached most. "Can I?" she asked shyly as he jumped. They were both exploring new territory, after all. She wanted to make sure it was alright with him.
Izzy nodded once, incapable of speech at that moment. The feel of Mimi's hand touching him was like lightning striking him. He felt like he was going to burst into flames at any given moment, even in the cool water.
Mimi began kneading his shaft, finding out what gave him pleasure, and what didn't. She learned a great about what gave a male pleasure, and resolved to remember it in the future as she continued her administrations. She leaned in and kissed him full on the lips, swallowing his moans. She smiled as a particularly powerful sound issued from him when she started to speed up.
He suddenly wrapped his arms around her again, barely stopping himself from yelling out as he climaxed. He closed his eyes at the feeling, much like Mimi did, crushing her against his chest in reflex. Mimi gasped, feeling her own arousal begin to grow again.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, though in reality, it had been only a minute, Izzy relaxed. He looked at Mimi, whose eyes were questioning. "You didn't hurt me," he whispered, smiling slightly.
Mimi smiled, relieved to hear him say that. "Izzy…" she began, wanting to ask him something…and then looked up. "We had better get out," she said in alarm. "Otherwise, the others are going to wake up, come down here, and see us like this."
The dawn had come.
That took any and all thoughts of exploring their new relationship out of their minds. Presently, their biggest concern was that Sora was going to come down, see them, and explode at them.
Swimming to shore, with Mimi pausing only to purify the water, they ran over to their clothes. They dried themselves off, then hurriedly slipped their undergarments on.
Mimi looked up as she picked up her dress, noting how muscular Izzy 's chest seemed to be. "So, where does this leave us?" she asked.
Izzy put his pants on, then looked at Mimi, who was in her shift. He saw her nipples showing through the fabric, and struggled to focus on the question instead of his hormones. It was a good one, anyways. They couldn't go back to just being friends after what had just happened. Then again, they couldn't just tell their friends what had just happened. Everyone would probably go ballistic on them. Tai would ask them why they did that. Sora would probably read them the riot act. And Sora reading them the riot act was something to avoid. The rest of them would probably stare at them ominously, waiting for their turn.
"Let's take this one step at a time," he finally replied as he put his shirt back on, then picking up his towel. "Also, let's let Tentomon and Palmon have their fun. That way, they're happy, and we get our date."
Mimi giggled. "I'm kind of wondering what they've got planned." She finished dressing, picking up her towel afterwards.
"So long as their plans don't involve us without our clothes," Izzy added.
Mimi smirked. "Too late, love. Besides, I doubt either of us will complain... much."
"Good point." He gave her a quick peck. "Let's go."
Luckily, everyone was still asleep when they got back to camp, which eliminated one of their problems nicely. Quietly, so as not to disturb them, they headed over to their back packs, and put their towels back in. Mimi had performed a drying spell on them, so that they didn't collect mildew in such a confines space. Take that, dryer!
After that, Mimi walked over to Izzy, and took one of his hands in hers. "Are you sure?" she asked quietly.
Izzy gave her hand a reassuring squeeze. "I have never been so sure before in my entire life." He hugged her. "I think we can make this work."
He released her, and stepped back. And not a moment too soon, as Palmon sat up, rubbing her eyes. "Morning, you two," she said sleepily. "So, you two enjoy your walk?"
Izzy and Mimi looked at each other. "It was…invigorating," Izzy replied, while Mimi choked back a laugh.
"Oh." Apparently satisfied with the answer, she got up, stretching her roots out. "What say we get breakfast ready, and wake the rest of the schmo's up?"
Izzy grinned. "I'll take Luna Two's side."
Mimi shook her head. "Great. I'll deal with Meatball Head and Co."
And, as always happens where the Alliance was concerned, it almost transformed into a pillow free for all. Just business as usual.
