And still as busy as ever (sob)

Disassembled is now rated M!

This chapter consists of nothing but Akagi and Kaga making love, so if you prefer reading other things to this, you can skip this chapter, I think.

Kudos to Little Donkey for the beta.


Chapter 18: Temptation in the Water

"I am born disassembled, and you reassemble me."


"Legend said that this place was found before the dawn of recorded history. Warriors from the past found the springs when exhaustion had entered them to the hilt. It was said that the minerals from this fountain of youth had miraculous healing properties, so the warriors felt the need to spread their discovery to the world. The owner of this inn tried to preserve as much of it as possible. That is why they still keep old sliding doors of the guest rooms without locks and everything..."

Akagi's voice rang through the surrounding mist as she cited the history of the springs like a true poet, complete with dramatic hand gestures and facial expressions.

The comforting heat numbed my brain as my mind floated alongside the steam over the birds and tree branches, and my breathing became gradually heavier and damper.

This was too much.

A satisfying bath with Akagi's body being so close to me that our shoulders touched, and her sweet narration lullabying me to sleep was just too much.

It was like all the weight that had been burdening me was lifted off my shoulders all at once.

If I fell asleep here, I would drown.

Drown in peace and tranquility that I never expected to exist in my life.

And perhaps that was what I truly wanted.

To drown in peace?

Next to Akagi...?

"...the legend said that the springs were found on a hillside overlooking a lake. I'm guessing that a lot of has changed since then, because we can only see a river from here and not a lake..." she finished when she noticed my head was bobbing up and down, "...tired, Kaga-san...?"

"Huh...?" I realized I was nearly drooling, "Yeah...I didn't really...have a chance to relax like this...I'm sorry if I don't seem myself..."

"No..." She rested her head onto my shoulder, "This is enough."

When I first met Akagi, nearly everything she said to me rang hollow.

I disliked how, despite that, she was still able to make my heart flutter.

I chased after her approval, and found that she was a genuinely gentle person.

Then I saw a side of her she probably never showed to anyone but me.

I didn't know when I started to believe in her, to the point that I could forget all about those two painful years.

Right now, there was only Akagi and me.

Her touch was hotter than the water around my body, so hot that I felt like it scalded my skin.

It sent jumbled up emotions to my brain.

Desire.

Happiness.

Pain.

I couldn't begin to describe how much I wanted Akagi all to myself since her confession...and here I was, feeling that I should be anywhere but here.

"...Akagi-san," I said,"We're not supposed to be together. If anyone finds out..."

"I...I understand," came her small voice, "But I miss you so much, Kaga-san... I..."

"You lied to Chitose-san and Chiyoda-san..."

"I...I just want to say...Kaga-san...I'm sorry for everything," she started, "For all those times I abandoned you...made you feel so alone...and couldn't look you in the eye. I'm very sorry."

"...That's all in the past. It doesn't really matter now."

"If I think about it again, I've probably had feelings for you since forever," she explained, "It's just that...those emotions...they scared me. It was as though it was never supposed to exist. A very...humanlike emotion. It didn't serve any purpose in our functions. Or maybe, it even hindered our functions. I tried to ignore it...but everytime I saw you it came back."

For a fleet girl, who underwent vigorous, often individualized, training and indoctrinated beliefs, something like this happening was quite understandable. I had no idea what the Navy had planted inside Akagi's mind before.

"Akagi-san, I..."

"I really love you, Kaga-san. I couldn't stop thinking about it. It made me feel so happy that I was made in this form, that I was born a fleet girl. That I could feel this happiness with you," she said, "Please...forgive me for..."

"Why are you apologizing? I was the one who blurted out all those outrageous things. It was probably the worst way to confess my feelings, ever."

She giggled. "It did make me think of a lot of things."

I leaned to her ear and murmured, "Such as...?"

A sigh escaped her lips and her arms slowly wrapped themselves around my neck.

"You know if the Navy finds out about this... we're both finished," I said.

"We don't have the benefit of hindsight..." her breathing brushed against my lips and I shivered.

From the corner of my eye I watched a drop of sweat crawl down from her chin to her neck. "You make it sound like it's a good thing..."

She gave my side ponytail a little tug and whispered, "So what if it is...?"

The anticipation completely blinded my mind. "Never mind...just... kiss me, Akagi-san."

And we let go.

Of all our restraints.

Of the world around us.

Of who we are.

Lips met, gasps merged into one, and bodies became entangled with each other beneath the thin white mist.

Throaty moans followed the tiny splashes of water, and this time, she parted her mouth and my tongue quickly found hers.

For once in my lifetime I was so grateful that I was given this form, to touch her, to embrace her, to shower her with overwhelming affection.

For once in our lifetime we were not fleet girls, we were not weapons, we were just Kaga and Akagi.

Two girls in love.

Two girls desperate for each other.

It was like everything that we had done hinged upon this moment.

"Kaga...san...!"

My hands reached for her bosom before I realized it. She rose and her wet, slim-hipped figure mesmerized me in an instant.

The more she held on to me, the more I craved for her.

"Akagi-san..." my mouth was easily drawn to her bare neck. Her hands clung to my back and she let out a satisfied sigh as I moved further down.

I could see her hideous scar right in front of my face. I kissed and caressed it, assuring her that it didn't bother me one bit.

"K-Kaga-san...that's..."

"You're so beautiful, Akagi-san..."

I saw a single tear at the corner of her eye before she wiped it off with the back of her hand.

"This...this is my first time doing something like this," I mumbled to her thoroughly kissed collarbone.

She pulled back a little and replied with a small voice, "I'm...I'm the same...?"

My smile grew. She was truly the cutest girl in the world.

Her eyes left me and awkwardly wandered to the entrance to the baths.

I knew what she was trying to say. She had been showing broad hints that she was worried someone would come in.

And as much as I wanted to indulge myself with having long, hot sex in the water, the fact that this place was not even an indoor bath was inescapable.

"Akagi-san...should we move..."

"I...I think..." she exhaled, clenching her eyes shut when my fingers enclosed around her nipple, "We should...to my room..."

"Ah...I agree...is it empty...?"

"I..." she ignored my question and kissed my forehead, "I have read...a few things...and asked Mogami-san...about what to do..."

My breath hitched.

During my absence Akagi had been looking into the stuff that I had been dreaming of doing with her for weeks.

Saucy, indecent things that she had never known before.

Things that she would probably never know, if I had stayed friends with her.

"But tell me, Kaga-san... all this time has it crossed your mind to touch her...? To help her off with her clothes...? To feel that smooth skin against yours...? Have you ever had dirty thoughts about Akagi-san...? Something that is so unfit of Kaga-san to have...? You want...no, you hanker to bed her, don't you, Kaga-san...?"

I do...

I want her so much...nobody would understand...

I want to do unspeakable things with her...

I want to...taint her with these hands...

And I want her to taint me with hers...

"Kaga-san," she traced my nape with her fingers, "Am I...allowed to..."

How could I say no to those eyes...?

"Akagi-san...you know I can't refuse you..."

"But... I'm not sure if I can...do this properly..."

"Who cares about that...?"

"I...I care...!"

"You never let something like that stand in your way before..."

"This...this is because it's Kaga-san that I..."

"Let's move...shall we...?"

She gave a frantic nod and I thought my heart just melted at that sight.

We put on our clothes in silence, and in a hurry, because of something that shouldn't be more urgent than the possibility of someone seeing us together.

Akagi's face was flushing, and it did nothing but make her look even more desirable than before.

We can't get into that room soon enough...

"Kaga-san...can I...?"

I sensed her warm touch on my hand when she tried to entwine her fingers in mine.

It took everything in my power not to do her right then and there.

"Y...yeah...of course you can..."

She responded me with a smile and it amazed me how a simple handholding could make me feel this way.

The rest of the walk to the room was a blur in my mind.

All I was able to think about was how to get to it as fast as we could, and I wasn't exaggerating.

As soon as we arrived there, the first thing I did was slid the door close and slam my lover's body against the wall.

She let out a loud hissing noise before I captured her lips with mine and undressed her again.

"Nnngh...! Ka...Kaga-sa..."

"We have to be quick, Akagi-san...we won't have... another chance soon..."

That seemed to trigger something in her mind, and her kisses became more hurried, more ravenous.

As I was enjoying her tongue sliding into my mouth, I felt her clumsily fumbling with my skirt.

Oh God... Is she going directly for my...

I could sense her desperation, and my thigh slipped between hers in shuddered when my skin touched that single damp sheet of fabric that separated me from her center.

It took a moment, but soon she began to relax and hesitantly roll her hips against my thigh.

The sensation of her wet crotch sliding against my skin was truly something else, sending shivers to my spine and soliciting a gasp from my mouth.

But we didn't have much time.

"Souryuu-san and Hiryuu-san...you share this room with them, don't you...?"

"Yes..."

"Where are they...?"

"Out for a walk...I don't know when they will be back..."

"You know this inn doesn't have locked doors...and you invite me here...?"

"I can't...hold it anymore...please..."

"We're getting ourselves into a hole here..."

"That's according to plan."

I blinked in amazement. She couldn't be thinking of making a dirty joke at this very moment, could she...?

"Akagi-san, you..."

"I-I can't help it! I'm so sorry!"

"What has Mogami-san taught you...?"

"Various...things...?"

"Don't tell me you planned this..."

"I don't...! Why would I choose an inn with no locks?"

"You asked Mogami-san...why would you...?"

"I'm just curious."

"...just curious."

"C-curious because..." she leaned forward and our noses touched, "I...I want to see Kaga-san..."

I was about to kiss her again when her hand finally found its way to the sensitive spot beneath my skirt.

"I want to see Kaga-san..."

"Nngh...! A-Aka..."

"...reacting to my touch..."

"Aka...gi-sa..."

She reversed our position and held me against the wall, putting my earlobe into her mouth before biting on it lovingly.

"Akagi-san...!"

"Kaga-san..." she rubbed her fingers up and down my slit, "Kaga-san...I..."

I didn't care.

I couldn't think.

I held my hand over hers and pushed it to shove her fingers deep into my core.

"Kaga-san? !"

"Akagi-san...hurry..." I sighed. The feeling of her fingers inside me were enough to make me cry out in pleasure. "We can't...We can't leave this unfinished. Take responsibility, please. I won't be able to bear it...when we separate..."

"Kaga-san, I don't..."

"I'm begging you..."

I had been holding back for far too long.

She was being too slow and hesitant for my taste.

But that only made my desire to taint her grow even stronger.

I couldn't think of anything else but to ravish her...

Akagi...

Akagi...

I couldn't...stop myself anymore.

I want Akagi.

Without thinking I pulled her to the ground and pinned her to the tatami floor, ignoring her gasp of surprise.

I stripped both of our skirts and she shivered. I took a moment to look into her eyes and I could see her biting her lower lip. Was it anxiety? Was it anticipation?

I really looked forward to driving her mad with pleasure.

I got rid of her underwear and when Akagi opened up her legs for me, I slowed down my pace to admire the rosy, glistening beauty in front of me.

I'm so glad...

I'm so glad you were born in the shape of a human girl...

"Ka...Kaga-sa...what are you- Aaah..! !"

I got rid of her underwear and my mouth dived straight to her bulging clitoris.

I had learned that this was one of a woman's most sensitive areas.

Unsure of what to do but getting even more aroused by Akagi's taste and scent, I put her nub into my mouth, sucking it softly and rubbing it with my tongue.

She jerked her hips forward, her hands clawing on the tatami mat and loud moans escaping her lips.

That must feel so good, huh...

"Aah...aah...ooh! ! Kaga-sa...n...!"

More... I ran my fingers along her wet opening, I want to hear more.

"Kaga-san...hold it...nnnngh...! !"

Slowly, I inserted a finger into her. She pulled on my hair, and I wandered deep inside her slick walls, watching her reactions while trying to find that sweet spot which would give me what I wanted.

"Aaah...! !"

I shuddered.

That was addictive beyond measure.

Not enough...

More...

I want to hear her scream...

I pushed in another finger once I found it. Keeping them in that tight spot, I clenched my fingers and began to move them in and out, maintaining them to rub against that spot every time. Meanwhile, my mouth continued to work on her sensitive clit.

The result was immediate.

Akagi couldn't keep her legs from trashing, her hands were twisting the mats while her cries became uncontrollable and I still couldn't get enough of them.

Soon the whole inn could hear us.

With regret I said to her, "Akagi-san...don't you think you should keep your voice do..."

With the kind of power that I never knew she possessed, she pulled my head up to her level and kissed me hungrily. My fingers were still inside her when she hurriedly shoved hers into my core.

A fire lit up inside me, and I pushed a third finger into her before fucking her relentlessly.

Having her moan directly into my throat while having her pleasuring me at the same time was truly out of this world. I just realized that I was so wet myself, perhaps even wetter than her.

"Kaga-san...Kaga-san...I-I'm close...I'm so close!"

"Aka... Akagi-san...! I...I'm about to...!"

Despite how much I wanted to prolong this, we didn't have that luxury.

I quickened my thrusts and stroked her clit repeatedly, sending her closer and closer to that steep edge.

My energy was inexhaustible, but when Akagi's free hand clawed against my back... I finally lost it.

We were both thrown over that edge as an incredibly intense orgasm ripped through our beings. I swore Akagi was digging her fingers so deep inside me my vision blanked out white for a moment.

This feeling...it was surreal.

It was more mind-blowing than anything that I had ever experienced in my whole life.

So...that was what sex feels like...

Akagi wasn't moving under me for a whole minute that I began to worry.

"Akagi-san..."

"Mmh...I..." she raised her head and looked at me sleepily, "I'm alright..."

"Thank goodness..."

"It felt good..."

"I'm glad..."

I began to relax when she gave me the most hoped-for response.

"More than it actually," she gave me a sheepish grin, "Kaga-san...I love you..."

She buried her face on my chest and I felt it.

This moment.

This perfect, honest-to-goodness moment is what I live for.

Who cares about war and destruction...?

If I do all those things, I get to live and see Akagi-san for another day.

Akagi-san and I...our mind and body have been disassembled for too many times to count.

And this feeling, this bond...is the only thing that reassembled us.

That is all that matters.

I was about to tell her that when I suddenly heard them.

A pair of footsteps.

Coming louder and louder in front of our door.

The inevitable finally happened.

Panic took hold of me and I leapt away from Akagi, frantically fixing up my clothes.

We were just finished putting on our skirts when the door slid open.

"Akagi-san, are you here?"

It was a short-haired brunette with a small side ponytail; she was wearing an orange gi and green skirt.

I could tell, this girl was a carrier.

Then that meant she was Souryuu's partner in the Supplementation Program or Circle Two plan, Hiryuu.

Her eyes blew wide when she noticed me, and our haggard appearances I guessed.

"You're..."

"Hiryuu-san!" Akagi greeted, "Um...this is Kaga-san...I think this is the first time you meet..."

"You really brought her here," she remarked, "This really turned into a real humdinger of a meeting. You've got to be kidding me, Akagi. I thought you are better than this."

"Well...yes...but..."

"Stop that hole-and-corner reunion and send her away," she grumbled, "I think I saw one of those tough hombres from the Navy just now. At least one of them must be hot on discipline. You're going to get yourselves into trouble if you stay."

With a look of disgust she closed the door behind her and left.

While Akagi was apologizing to me, I wondered if Hiryuu knew what we did in the room just now.

She obviously didn't approve of it.
