Chapter 2 – Starting a New – Pt. 2

As Aisha sat in her room on her plushy bed, she still can't get over the fact that Gene's lips was on her forehead. She repeatedly played the act in her mind, a constant repeat and she couldn't get enough of it. She touched her forehead and stated giggling like a hyperactive schoolgirl. She couldn't help it. Wau! I cannot believe what just happened. She sighed and rested on her body-forming bed, so relaxing against her curves as the cooling breeze coming into her room swayed her. She could sleep in like she usually does, but right now…she didn't feel the need to.

-BRIIIIIIIIING, BRIIIIIIIING- -Click-

"Moshimoshi, you've reached Hawking from Starwind & Hawking Repairs & Enterprise. We fix everything from tractors, to relationships, and deliver packages from Sentinel III to the Ctarl-Ctarl Empire, so how can we help you today?" Jim said as he looked on the phone intercom to a young man in his mid-twenties. Dark Blue hair and light tan. He wore rectangle frame-less glasses over his gray eyes.

-Ohayo, I have a job for you. Simple delivery.- His voice was deep and rich, not what you would hear from someone of such youthful appearance.

"Sadaka (Sure), sir. May I ask who you are and where the delivery will take place?"

-Maxwell Mau. You will be going to Venus V, twenty-five light years from Sentinel III. On Venus V, you will be heading to Gena Metro where Mia Junko is living. I hear it's a five-day trip, so I ask if you can deliver it five days from now.-

"No problem, Mau-san."

-Arigato. I'll give you 300,000 Wong for the safety of that package and it contents paid in full.- Jim looked at him wide-eyed when he heard that. -I'll leave the package with you sometime tomorrow. I trust that it will be in good hands.- Maxwell's voice carried a questioning tone.

"You can count of us, sir!" Maxwell nodded and left the screen. "Gene! We got a job and it's a big one!"

"To where?" Gene asked as he made his way to Jim on the computer.

"Venus V." On his computer came the planet in question with status of inhabitants and such. "It's a jungle world. Almost everything is twenty-times bigger in size and mass. Only twenty metropolises built on the planet alone."

"Ittai? And where to one of these metros are we going to?" Jim typed on the computer at lightning speed. Nothing less from the computer whiz.

"Gena Metro," Few pop up's appear on the screen. "One of the largest metropolises on the planet; fourth one built. It's similar to our city, but only cleaner. Not many crimes happen there, so it's pretty much a crime-free zone from all the others, and highly secured." Photos flashed on the security personnel, clearly Saurians, or dino-men to put it simpler. (Episode 19 – Law and Lawlessness)

Oh man, not these guys again. "Anna, how the hell are we supposed to get in there with all the security beefs?"

"We just show them a pass to allow us entry and we deliver the package without confrontation." Spoke Jim as he typed on the computer for the info. Gene yawned as he stretched his body out, few pops from the back and shoulders, relaxing Gene's muscles from their stiffness.

"Yoi, anna, when do we get the load?"

"Sometime tomorrow,"

"-Sigh- Bakkin, I'll tell the others." Gene left Jim to his research of the planet to find any facts and history of it.

-Knock, knock, knock- The sound was heavy, but not so heavy. She recognized the knocks anywhere, as she walked up to the door and lo and behold, Gene was standing right in front of it.

"What's up, Gene?" She spoke with a grin on her face that makde her look mischievous. Gene smiled back.

"We have a delivery to do tomorrow. It will take us a week to get to where we're going, so pack what you need and be ready."

"A week? So long?"

"Not really. It would take us five days just to get there. Why? Is there something you want to say?"

"Hmm? Ina! Nothing at all. I was just little surprised, that's all."

"Yoi. Be ready."

"Yoshi (Alright)," She smiled her genuine smile once again. He barely get to see such a sight on her. It suited her so nicely, as well as everything else for that matter, but he still can't look over the fact that she was beautiful with that smile.

Aisha saw Gene smiling at her, soft and warm as his body when she hugged him this morning. She still can't believe what he did and he was acting so nice to her, smiling a smile that only Melfina would get from him.

They looked at each other a little longer, but Aisha turned away with a blush, her hair swooping over her left eye.

"I…I think you should tell the others."

"…Raito…I'll see you tomorrow."

"Raito, see ya."

"See ya," Aisha retreated to her room, closing the door gently in front of him. He smiled once more and walked off to tell the rest of his crew the news.

Later today…

Aisha with Melfina and Suzuka decided to do a little shopping while the boys look over the stats of the Outlaw Star. They walked down the strip where so much excitement just flows to the brim of the city. Aisha loved the hustle and bustle of Locust, so much to do and so much time to do it all. Many people greeted them along the way, few their hellos while other their catcalls, which brought on a world of hurt from Suzuka and Aisha.

"Here we are! High Rise!" The group looked at the large and impressionable building with three levels to it appearance.

"This place looks a bit pricey, Aisha?" spoke Suzuka with a questioning tone.

"Awwwe, don't worry Suzu-chan. I have enough money to get what I want while you girls look around. Or you could help me pick things out." But Suzuka didn't hear the rest, as she was stuck on the little nickname Aisha continue to call her.

"-Sigh- Please, stop calling me that. I have tolerated that name for too long, so if you could—Ooi! How rude!" Suzuka didn't even get the chance to finish as Aisha dragged her and Melfina by their wrists into the store.

Once inside, Aisha already went to the section for Ctarl-Ctarl, a new edition to the store for those of the Empire who decided to stay on Sentinel III. They had many selections and each of it was beautiful. She picked out the first thing she saw: a dark red two-piece. Vinyl finish and somewhat provocative. The top was a tight, very short vest with large collar, dipped low to show just the right amount of cleavage. The pants were boot cut hip-huggers with rhinestone cross-stitching on the sides. Embroidered in rhinestones was a dragon crossing from one pant leg to the other, snaking it way up to the right side of her pockets and in the back of the top was the Kanji symbol of Invisibility (不可視).

"Meow, meow. Now this is something I can see myself wearing." She looked at the price tag and had a small frown. "Hmmm, kind of pricey…ano, I think I can spoil myself just this once." That said, she picked up the outfit and scurried off for more.

Meanwhile in the Terrans section, Melfina and Suzuka were looking at a few outfits themselves. Well, mostly Melfina. Nothing really catches Suzuka's interest unless they are weapons, a bounty head, or new season kimonos. Melfina looked around the store and found three that caught her eyes. One was a Juicy Couture black "I Heart Juicy" Velour zip hoodie and red plaid flannel skirt with a white tank top, second was a Juicy Couture gray luxe fleece poncho cardigan and black denim leggings with zipper trim, and the third was a Juicy Couture white rhinestone embellished foil crest tee and button detail leggings. Each were nice and definitely unique in their on style and make, which made it hard for her to choose which would be better. Thankfully, she has a female friend to help with such decision making.

"Suzuka, which of these do you think would look better on me?" Suzuka looked over the clothing in Melfina's hands and looked at her.

"I can't really say. I have only worn kimonos my entire life, so I couldn't tell what would look better on you."

"Oya," Melfina sounded a little sad since she didn't get the answer she needed.

"-Sigh- Demo, if I have to choose, I would go with all three of them since they would look very pretty on you."

"Ittai? Ara! Domo arigato, Suzuka! You helped me so much." Suzuka smiled at the cheerful young girl.

"-Giggle- Douitashimashite,"

An hour has pasted and Melfina decided to get the three outfits she had before along with two other from a different section of the store. They came across Aisha with at least four bags under each arm! You would think she was getting a new wardrobe with all the clothes stuffed in there. After shopping, they ate at the food court and made their way back home to see Jim in the kitchen and Gene on the couch watching T.V.

"Oi, Gene, look what I got!" Melfina shouted joyfully as she ran over to Gene. Aisha decided to go ahead and pack the few clothes she'll need on the trip, whereas Suzuka made way to the kitchen.

Tonight's dinner was better than before with the help of Aisha. The two chef were the culinary queens of the kitchen, the meals prepared with great taste and style. Gene couldn't remember the last time he ate so well, especially with Melfina's cooking, but with Aisha as an added bonus, the flavors just explored with jubilation. Too good for words were his thoughts. After dinner and a good cleaning of the kitchen, everyone part ways and head in for a good night's sleep.

Chikusho…can't sleep. Coming from the thoughts of a certain young man who troubles always seem to keep him awake. What could be keeping him up in the middle of the night? It certainly wasn't the food, so what could it be? His thoughts were cut short when a small glimmer of light poured onto the floor. Gene looked down and noticed the light coming from Aisha room. Just being curious, or nosy, he got up and walked up to her door. Three knocks he gave the door and he waited, hearing shuffling of feet on carpet floors.

The door opens and Gene was completely wide-eyed. Now it appears that Aisha has dawned on a red sheer baby doll sleepwear and, lo and behold, she wore nothing but what appears to be a lace G-String underneath it all. Gene tried hard to control his blush that was rising from the neck up, but the nosebleed was something he could hardly contain.

"-Gasp- Gene! Your nose!"

"Hmm?" He touched under his nose and held his fingers up to see blood oozing down. "Ara chikusho!" He pinched his nose together, hoping the bleeding will stop. Aisha snickered a bit as she pulled him in and sat him on the bed while she went to the bathroom, leaving a blushing Gene in the wake.

"Anna, what's wrong, Gene? You couldn't sleep either?"

"Un," Gene spoke just like when someone's nose has been pinched closed.

"What's keeping you awake?" Asked Aisha, as she walked out of the bathroom. Gene was on a verge of another major nosebleed. The light shining on her made everything much more visible under her baby doll, which was making Gene slightly horny but he doesn't think now would be the right time to get down and dirty in the middle of the night with everyone in the building. Aisha handed him tissue and he took it without fail, closing the passage of the blood flow.

"Shai (Thanks)," His voice sounded much clear without his nose pinched.

"Douitashimashite," Her voice was low, almost sounding sultry in a way. She sat down next to him and waited from him to respond. "Gene?"

"Hmm?"

"What's keeping you awake?"

"Oya…anoooooo, I don't know. I just can't sleep. Maybe I'm excited."

"Meow? About what?" She leaned back, not knowing that her appearance was doubling in her sexiness as Gene watched her.

"I…I don't know. I can't figure it out."

"Meow, meow," Aisha placed her forefinger against her chin thoughtfully, thinking of a reason and came up with one. "Maybe it's because we're doing the delivery to Venus V. Do you think that could be the problem?"

Gene didn't even think about the delivery, but that would make a lot of sense when he thought about it. He never heard of Venus V the entire time his been on Sentinel III and it has peaked his interest. However, the fact that Saurians will be guarding the place doesn't look like his visit would be as pleasant as he would predict it.

"Un, you could be right."

"I am?" Aisha's expression was slightly wide-eyed and questioning.

"Un…Why? Have I ever thought you were right before?" Aisha looked off to the side, sadness creeping up.

"…Ano, ina, actually. You always thought that I didn't make sense and said that I was wrong about a lot of things. I will admit you were right, but…never have I thought that you would finally agree with me on something…ever." Aisha spoke in a low and sad tone, a tone that Gene has never heard before and now, wishing he never had to hear it again. He looked back towards the bathroom door frame, but mostly staring into space and sighed.

"Aisha…I don't know how many times I can say this, but…Ashikarazu, Aisha…for everything. It's been too long for me to say that and now that I have, can't help but feel that I should die for waiting. You don't deserve my disrespect, no matter how disrespectful you would be to me. You don't deserve anything cruel I do to you. You deserve so much better." Gene spoke in a tenor's tone, low yet sad. Unexpectedly, he felt two strong arms wrap around his torso under his arms and a head resting on his shoulder.

"Aish—?"

"Gene…arigato. Arigato for everything." She squeezed him closer to her as she spoke, feeling his bare skin and warmth underneath her. Gene shivered as he felt Aisha's large, perky breasts squishing against his back and he did everything in his power to calm down so not to ruin the moment. Aisha needed a friend and Gene had to be one for her. He hugged her arms to himself, holding her close to him.

"Douitashimashite, Aisha," They held each other that moment, no one making a move from the other; just hearing their light breathings, Gene's back rising and falling with each breath he took while Aisha's the same. Gene, feeling tried again, decided to go back to his bed and Aisha kindly obliged. They said their good night's and waited for the afternoon to bring forth a new experience to their day.

The package came as said that afternoon. A small box—feels almost empty. Jim said they had to be careful if they want the job done right, so they decided that Melfina would take hold of the box since she's more delicate with things such as this.

They drove and arrived at the West Virginia Space port and loaded everything up.

Now comes the fun part.

Melfina sinks below and comes up in the hourglass capsule, covering her most intimate parts. She speaks through the intercom as they begin the leave.

-CFS activated. Newton reactor coming online. Systems show normal. All the views show normal. Ether Drive System operational. Sub Ether Drive System operational-

"Engine system operation now verified." Gene spoke. The engine starts, slowly rumbling the grounds beneath them. Gene flips a small control from the ear that points a blue light to his right eye and goes through a series of controls to get them ready to take off. "Ready, Melfina?"

-Ready. Gravity cycle operational. System shows green.-

-The ship is air tight and ready for take off.- Gilliam spoke through the ship's intercom.

"Everything's all set here and we're ready to go." Jim said.

-Life support systems are reading normal.- Gilliam said.

-All control services showing green.- Melfina spoke.

"All systems green." Gene repeated. All gauges went to full power; the word 'Go!' appeared on the screens.

-Engine output stable. Commencing countdown. T minus 30 to launch.- The ship began to rumble louder but still kept in place. -T minus 20.-

"Crew, get ready!"

-T minus 10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... 0-

"Let's gooooo!" Gene pulled the accelerator and pulled off to ship once again. The sky became dark and soon pitch black with the stars as its view.

-We've exited the atmosphere. Please put us in orbit.- Melfina spoke.

-We have successfully completed planetary launch.- Gilliam said.

-Setting to Sub Ether drive. Please handle course corrections.-

"Yoshii, roger." Gene spoke. The course was set and off they went to their destination.

-Sub Ether drive commencing now.- The ship went into hyper-drive, going off to Venus V as their destination.

Once set into motion..."Set to Auto-pilot." That said, Melfina sank down and rose from the capsule to stand behind Gene and the crew. "Listen up. We have a business week to deliver the goods without a hitch. Let's rest up and get ready for the trip ahead."

"Raito!" Jim and Aisha shouted.

"Raito," said Melfina. Suzuka nodded in response. Everyone except Aisha and Melfina headed to their rooms to actuate to their new accommodations for the next five days. Dinner soon came and everyone we're in jubilation of Melfina and Aisha's cooking. They we truly the culinary queens of the kitchen and the crew couldn't say otherwise.

"Aneki, you are the best!" shouted Jim to Aisha.

"Ha-ha! Only the best for my ototo-chan!" She ruffled his wild blond hair as she spoke. Seeing them together brought smiles across the table. Without the tail, ears and dark skin, Aisha could actually pass as his sister with the way they act with each other. Gene just smiled at them, but his attention was on Aisha. He didn't know why, but he was seeing Aisha in a whole new light, and if not for Jim's words of anger and hurt, he may not have seen what Jim has seen his whole life: a beautiful woman who deserves respect, never harsh words.

"I have to agree with Jim on this. This is the best food I have ever eaten." Aisha looked at him and smiled. Man, he really was starting to love that smile.

"Arigato, Gene. You're too kind."

"Not enough for you." Aisha blushed a pink tint on her cheeks and looked down, smiling. Jim was looking at Aisha, then Gene, then Aisha again, and now towards Suzuka and Melfina who was just as confused as to what have just happened. Without all of the weirdness happening, everyone said their good night's while Aisha and Melfina starts cleaning the kitchen. Few minutes later, Gene walks in.

"Ooi, Melfina, why not I clean the kitchen with Aisha while you rest easy."

"Oya, arigato, Gene. I'll do that. Oyasumi (Good night)."

"Yabun ('Night)." Melfina walked pass him as he made his way to the sink and helped washed the dishes, him washing and Aisha drying. After the dishes, they cleaned the counter and now were sweeping the floor.

"…Shai (thanks), Gene, for your help."

"It's my pleasure." Aisha stopped her sweeping.

"…Are you sure?"

"Hmm???"

"Are you sure you're helping out of pleasure, or are you helping me because of what Jim said the day before yesterday when I came home?" Gene stopped sweeping as well, holding the broom on end.

"Hmph…anna, I take it you heard that."

"How can I miss it with ears like these?" She pointed to her ears to emphasis her point. They laughed together, their laughter bringing some comfort to the room. "-Sigh- Demo, still…are you sure you're helping me just to help, or are you helping me just so you won't feel bad about how you have been treating me for the past six years?" Silence filled the room as they stood facing one another, trying to see the truth while telling it.

"……I don't know…I'm not doing this out of pity though, but…it would make sense for me to make up for all the harsh things and hard time I have given you."

"Ooi, I wasn't a girl scout either. We both had are faults and said things we knew would hurt the other person, but didn't care."

"Un, but I wish I did cared…I wish I cared about how much pain I was causing you…how much suffering and sadness I was putting on you and putting you through…how much my words have hurt you for all the years we been together. Then maybe, just maybe…I wouldn't be the one to make you cry." His words was trailing off a bit, but she still heard them.

Aisha looked at him as he looked at her, surprised that he would speak such deep emotions to her. She was freaked-out yet truly elated, her mind racing with emotions she has never felt for a male before and she was not able to control these raging feelings in her heart and body anymore.

She didn't know what happened next, but all she recalled was her lips on his as she hugged him close around his neck, crushing her soft flesh against his hard torso. Gene hugged her tightly around her waist, relishing in her soft, full lips planted deeply on his. Aisha licked his bottom lip, demanding entry to his mouth and he obliged, moaning as his lips parting but unprepared for the powerful muscle that invaded his moist cavern, attacking his mouth, tongue, and lips with animalistic passion. He tried to push his tongue with hers, but she was powerful, forceful and refused to let down.

Gene put as much force and effort to get the upper hand in domination, and he was winning, pushing Aisha towards the counter of the kitchen as they dropped their respected brooms. Aisha ran her hands in his soft tresses, making the kiss deeper as she moaned and purred when he massaged her back and sides. She relished in his strong, large hands, never really feeling a male upon herself. Now she couldn't get enough and wanted to stay like this forever: The squeezing motion of their hands, the moans and purrs they shared with each twist and pull their tongues, and the powerful passion they're sharing within that kiss. It was as if heaven was spreading through their bodies with a greater passion than the kiss itself.

Soon the kiss started to die down and they pulled slowly from each other, gazing dreamily into each other eyes. Now coming back to their senses, with shock etched on their faces, they quickly pulled apart and looked at different spaces of the kitchen, blushing madly.

"Ummm…I better get to bed." Gene spoke, finally.

"Heh, un. Me too."

"Ano…oyasumi," Gene spoke quickly as he walked out the room.

"Oyasumi," Aisha the same. They made it out the hallway, but not before looking back at each other. Aisha smiled as did Gene, and she went to her bed as did he. They each dived under their covers and slept peacefully through the night, waiting for tomorrow and its many more surprises.

To be continued…

Dark Anty – You like it, right? I know it has an OOC-ness to it, but it'll change a bit with time. I hope you like my style though for there are more to come soon.

Aisha – This is getting good. Hee-hee, I can't wait for more.

Gene – Yeah, especially if I get to feel those juicy breasts again. –Giggles Lecherously– -POW!- OW!

Aisha – GET YOUR MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER!

Gene – Too late, baby! I'm already there:-3 –Gene Runs Laughing–

Aisha – GRRR! COME BACK HERE! –Runs After Gene–

Dark Anty – O.o…Well that was awkward.

Jim – No, they always act like that.

Dark Anty – Oh.

Melfina – Please send reviews!

Suzuka – No flames, or face my sword.
