I wake feeling rested, but also incredibly sore. My legs do not feel like cooperating and I move to rub my eyes of the remainder of sleep… before noticing exactly how I am positioned. My blanket lies on the ground, my legs spread, fingers still inside me and the book on the floor to my right, the side closer to the tent flap. I flush a brilliant red, I have overdone it… I have definitely overdone it. I can still smell the scent of me hanging heavily in the air. The scent alone is enough to make me want another round.
" Mine ." The husky growl that my thoughts form send a shiver down my spine. Pinning, scratching, biting, claiming. That is the word that I cling to. I want him to claim me...
I shook my head, "Gods…" If my siblings catch me in this state… I do not want to finish that thought. I have to at least grab the blanket off the ground. I remove my other hand from inside me and shudder, it still feels so good. 'More . '
No, it is morning now, and I am not going to indulge myself, 'he would have me anyway . ' Elise will be here to check on me any minute now. A well-tied knot and Camilla can only keep the Troubadour out for so long. And Elise is the last sibling I would want to see me like this . 'Panting, sore, claimed . ' I reach for the blanket, which taunts me by being just slightly out of reach, I lean further. I know where this is going, I am going to fall over and be in an even worse position, but I need that dominance… Blanket! Gods, what is going on with my thoughts?
And as if I am a Foreseer, I fall out of the cot with zero grace and to add injury to insult, my scar reminds me that it is still very much there, and pulses with an intense burn. I cry out in pain, Gods… they are going to see me like this. I resign to my fate, but not before grabbing the blanket and covering my head with it. My rear is on full display, feet dangling in the air, arms holding the blanket down. and my legs still refuse to listen to me.
"Big Sister!" I hear Elise yell. Gods… the moment of truth is here. I wish I can fall unconscious right now, pass out, anything to avoid being aware. But it seems the gods are not done humiliating me yet, because I hear three more sets of footsteps following my little sister's. All of my siblings are about to see me.
"Why…?" I should have stopped after the first, then I would not be in this embarrassing position and not about to be in a mess. I pull the blanket closer, hoping that trapping my head in it will prevent anymore embarrassment.
"Gods, Camilla! Why did you do this knot so… tightly?" It is Xander. "You are well aware she could be in need of medical treatment at any point." He is angry. "Damn it." I hear a ring of steel and my big brother slices the knot off.
The tent flap opens, Elise shrieks, Leo sighs, Camilla stands in the back, and Xander is the first to move. I can imagine him giving me a look that yells, 'Seriously?' "Hiiii, big brother…" I squeak out.
"Yes… 'hi'. Now, up you go." He gently grips my sides, narrowly avoiding my scars, but his right hand accidentally grazes my breast. I am still sensitive and try to mask the moan as a cry of pain. The day just keeps going downhill. The Crown Prince easily lifts me up and re-adjusts me to how I was lying before I became a panting mess. He moves the blanket to actually cover me. "Please, don't ever expose yourself like that again."
My eyes just glaze him over, only half-aware of what he is saying. I could imagine one of his hands pinning both of my arms, other hand deftly removing armor, his breath husky... 'He's your brother!' . Why am I so sexually inclined? A few details from my imagination shift and the Knight is now someone standing right in front of me. 'No man wants you.' "Mine." I need something to focus on, not a shirtless Xander or Leo, not my imagination or book, not last night… not the growing heat in my core. 'Gods, help me.'
"...Are you listening?" It is Elise, only her and Camilla remain. My little sister is fretting over me while Camilla seems remorseful for having a hand in the situation I got myself in. 'Busty, proper, sexy . '
"Sorry sis, what?" I am honestly trying to focus, but my thoughts keep drifting, I feel horrible for thinking so dirty. Even though it sounds so right at the same time.
"How is your scar? Neck? And how exactly did you get all of these claw marks?" She holds her staff in her right hand and is tapping her left foot. "Is there a tear in this tent somewhere? Wild animals?"
"They're fine, it's nothing serious." Much unlike how great I am feeling on a different area.
"Excuse you!?" Elise gasps as her face burns red.
"Our poor Yasei is really out of it, I wouldn't take that sentence literally." Camilla adds.
"Huh? What did I say?"
"See? She isn't even aware.. I'll look over her for now, okay?"
"No way!" Elise stands her ground, "You did that last night and look how she ended up! Let the healer do her work!" She pouts. "Go on, shoo."
"See you later, Yasei." Camilla leaves before becoming a victim of a bonk from Elise's staff.
"What did I say?" I am curious.
"It wasn't anything, really." The blush on her face says otherwise.
"Pile of lemons." I am quick to remind her that I know when people lie, but it is starting to get hard to smell the sour when the sex is so thick in the air, gods I can taste it in my mouth.
"You… rambled on about something we could not understand." I give her a critical look, "Look, it wasn't anything bad, so just don't worry about it… healer's orders!"
I give up and choose to just gaze at Elise. "Elise… gods, how do I say something like this." I decide to share my concerns and just pray I am not disowned for it.
"Something the matter?" The way her face scrunches with concern, her recently applied lipstick glistening.
'Control yourself'. "Yes… I- uh, have been having… urges since my transformation… and I can't take care of them myself…"
"What are you getting at, sis?"
"I cannot satisfy myself and I had a whole night to do it."
"Oh… so that's why you look like… oh." I wait several minutes for the eventual yelling, accusations, or even calling Xander to deal with me, but none of it happens, "This probably is the worst time to let you know this, but…" She is sad, "But, you aren't actually… related to us."
My heart drops at that thought and part of me wonders why she abruptly brings something like that up, "What? No, no, no. What do you... I mean we are related." Lust gives way to concern, it is a better feeling right now.
"You were 'adopted' from the Hoshidan's…" Her voice becomes extremely small, "royal family." Then… they were telling the truth. Elise stifles a cry. "I-I didn't want you to ever know, but… I c-couldn't keep lying forever…"
"I don't care." I say before I think it through, but I mean it. Elise lets out a small 'huh', "about them, I mean." Only Takumi is on my bad side, 'Kill, maim' but I would rather omit that fact, "If they wanted to me to be family, they should have had the means to keep me there. But they didn't, Nohr is my home." It stings slightly to say that. "You all are my family. No amount of blood relation will change my opinion on that. So don't cry and call me sister until the end, all right?"
"Big sister…" The ball of sunshine returns, "Yaaaay! I love you sooo much Big sister!" She hugs me.
"I love you too, little sister. And the rest of the family." At least those thoughts are gone. "Would you mind um, getting some clothes for me? I'd like to get up and walk." And get away from the heavy smell of myself.
"Sure thing." She winks before dashing off towards a nearby chest. "Oh! You brought a sword with you…" She announces from the other side of the room.
"Yea, it was sort of, I don't know, calling to me." In the middle of a ruined market and a number of corpses.
"Welll, do you know what it is?" Elise takes the following silence as a no, "Leo says it's the Divine Weapon, Yato."
"Divine Weapon? Like Xander's Sword, Leo's Tome and Camilla's Axe," which is ironically named Camilla's Axe, she keeps saying she will think of an actual name later.
"Yup." She returns with a deep purple and black robe. It is a bath robe, but better than nothing. "Here you go!"
I grab the offered robe and Elise turns around to give me some privacy. "I have my own Divine Weapon… That just leaves you, right?" Taking a breath, I grit my teeth through the burn, it is less than what I expect and stand with little trouble, I then slip the robe on and tie the belt.
"Healers don't use weapons, silly." That is what she said last time someone brought it up.
"You could always learn, I think you would make a great Strategist."
"Really?" Elise turns back around, "But then I'd have to put a lot of time into reading… tactics."
"Well, you could always be more of a… relay for information than the actual source. You would be able to carry out order faster."
"Huh, I never thought of that." A pause, "Have you ever thought of being a Tactician?"
"They don't use Dragonstones and I know from my sparring with Leo that I have nearly no aptitude for tomes. So that just leaves me with a sword."
"Then you would be the first one to use a Dragonstone!" She hops, "Oh! Oh! Could you show us your dragon form later? I mean, I saw it but I didn't actually see it, you know."
"It might be a while, but of course. And I understand." I take a few test steps before feeling satisfied with the lack of pain. "Finally, movement." Now all I have to do is to not sprint off in dragon form and pass out naked.
The first thing to greet her upon leaving the tent is Camilla wearing a sorrowful expression, "Oh, I'm so sorry Yasei, I didn't mean for all that to happen…"
Elise flushes red and I cough, "Not a problem, I know you wouldn't want anything bad happen to me."
She smiles at the comment, "Of course, I'm so happy you're all right." She pauses and bites her lip, "And you still consider us family."
She was eavesdropping? "Big sister…" Elise sighs.
"It's alright, it's not like she heard anything illegal or anything."
"Speaking of hearing things…" Gods, now what? "You should probably speak to Leo…" She goads me on.
But just looking at her face tells me she would not say anything else, "Okay." Elise breaks off and says something about getting food. I find Leo leaning against a tree, partially invested in a book. I can smell several tomatoes on him. "Hey brother!" He jumps in place and nearly drops one of his tomatoes.
"Yasei! Wha… don't sneak up on people like that." He glares, I smile. "Did you need something?"
"Camilla told me that I should ask you about hearing things, care to enlighten me?"
The glare weakens to a frown, "I know exactly what I heard, after Xander woke me up around midnight." He pauses as a blush forms, "Let's just say that I'm still the only person here who can cast Silencing Wards…" He raises an eyebrow.
"Oh…" Once again I feel my face heat up, I kept my mouth shut! I still feel bite marks on my tongue and the inside of my cheeks and I still was… vocal. Gods… "Mine."
"Exactly." Leo says as he sees the realization dawn on me. He takes a bite out of a tomato.
"I think I will resume walking…" I tell Leo, though it is more thinking out loud. Two entire armies see me naked, the camp heard me tending to my sexual needs, and my blood-brothers and sisters are Hoshidan. Will anything else weird happen within twenty-four hours? I walk several laps around the camp before settling down next to the campfire. I have a lot on my mind now and not all of it holds decency. My stomach grumbles, that's right, I skipped breakfast, I breath in lot of air and note that the small mess hall is serving some sort of watered down stew. They probably are running low on supplies, but then again supplies are rarely are ever in decent stock. There! Something I can do, I will go hunting, bring back something meaty, help out the camp, and take her mind off of things. 'Blood, meat . '
There is a problem though, I certainly am not fit to go alone, or if Elise will even let me go hunting… and I never actually hunted before. Maybe this is a rather bad idea. The dragon roars its protest, I may not know how to hunt, but my dragon side did. I will take the pain of transforming if it means some freedom. I walk to the edge of the camp and look at the forest next to them. "What do you think you're doing?" Elise catches me… of course she would, it must be some sort of Healer instinct.
"Um… use my Dragonstone to go… hunting?"
Elise looks away, "Why do you keep pushing yourself? You need to rest. You… you might hurt yourself." Elise would not able to stop me if I truly want to leave… unless she has a Freeze staff on her. The youngest princess starts crying, "Please, just rest, okay? We all want you to get better a-and you keep…"
Her tears are a force stronger than any weapon the world could swing at me. "You're right. I'm just… restless. If I'm not in bed, then I am on restricted travel, and it just bothers me so much." I walk to her and rub the tears away. "I'll.. try and stay in bed." Elise smiles, one of the best things I can ever hope to see.
"Um… sister…?" Her face seems closer, her face is flushed and she looks at me nervously. "Do you really feel that strongly about me?" She coughs.
Oh, I was about to… "Uh, erm… I do but, no, I didn't meant." Gods, I was about to kiss her, not her forehead or her cheeks, but her mouth. "I should get some sleep." I nearly kissed my little sister, the thought disgusts me, what is wrong with me? 'Scratching, lust, claimed .'
"Sister?" Xander intercepts me before I reach my tent, "You've been acting strange… outside of this morning, of course."
"I just need some sleep, Elise told me to. And it's always wise to head a healer's advice… so see you later!" I rush off. Once in the tent I practically thrown myself on the cot, covering myself with the blanket, with my clothes still on, and try to steady my breathing. It worries me how much my thoughts turn sexual on me. It also does not worry me. "It'll pass, I can get through this…" Will it pass? Is this something I will just have to live with? Gods, I hope not. 'Blood, ripping, taken.' "Mine."
