Chapter 5
Genko's P.O.V
I was walking through a village. A small village high upon a snowy mountain. I walked and walked, my shoes crunching against the snow, taking in the scenery. I kept on walking, until I came upon a large temple on top of a large flight of steps. My face broke into a grin as I rushed up the steps the cold air brushing up my face. When arriving at the tip I was greeted with a beautiful sight.
A woman stood, eyes closed, and a naginata in hand, going through the motions with enviable grace. Her long black hair flowed around her form as she moved, as well as her pure white kimono's sleeves, and the bottoms of her red hakama pants. She was also a monster, more specifically a kitsune. Two identical black fox ears rested on top of her head, and eight fluffy tails of the same color billowed behind her. The woman was absolutely stunning.
"Pretty..." I murmured, captivated by the sight in front of me.
The woman's ears twitched, and she turned towards my direction, eyes crinkled into slits. When she spotted her face broke into a charming fox-like smile.
"Genko. How long have you been standing there?"
I didn't answer, I was to mesmerized by her.
"Genko?" The pretty lady asked, tilting her head to side confused.
This woman looked so familiar to me. Just being near her instills a feeling of need in me. I want to jump into her arms and never let her go...But why?
"Genko!" Arms on my shoulders snapped me out my thoughts.
"Huh!?" I looked up to find the woman kneeling down in front of me, and sucked in a breath. Her eyes were open now, revealing them to be a striking icy pale blue... So much like my own...!?
"Genko are you okay?" She asked concern.
I wanted to answer her but I couldn't speak. The emotions swirling inside me were too much.
A tear started to run down my cheek. I never thought I'd see her again. More tears soon followed, as I gazed at her.
"Genko!? Why are you crying!?" Whats the matter!?" She panicked over me, her expression conveying her worry.
I shivered, scared that if I spoke she would go away. But I couldn't stand that look of increasing alarm on her face. I gulped, preparing to say the word thats been on my mind.
"M-mom...?" I spoke hesitantly.
"Yes! Honey whats wrong!?"
That was the final straw.
"MOM!" I cried and flung myself into her embrace, clutching on to her body for dear life.
"Genko!?" Mom seemed surprised at my sudden action but still wrapped her arms around my back, pulling me closer to her.
I continued to wail and bawl into her chest for a long time. I don't know how long I was crying until she softly spoke my name, making me look up to her face.
"Genko...Are you okay? Did something happen?"
I sniffed and shook my head.
"No... I'm just so glad to see you." I gave her a bright smile. She patted my head and let out a sigh of relief. "If thats all..." At my nod, she smiled and gave me a kiss on my forehead. "Then lets get inside. Its getting late."
I turned looked up at the previously blue sky, seeing it replaced by a beautiful night, filled with sparkling stars and a full moon. Had I really been crying that long?
"Genko!" I looked back down to see mother already half-way to the temple, beckoning for me to follow.
"Coming!" I began to rush towards her with a smile.
"Ufufufufufu!"
I stopped running at the sound giggling ringing throughout the area. I looked around for it confused as to where it came from. 'Huh that was weird'
"Genko? Something a matter?" I turned towards my mother seeing her in the same place, waiting for me. I shook my head. Smile replanting itself on my face. 'Must of been my imagination'
"It's nothing!" I spoke and started to run again but was once again stopped at the sound of giggling.
"Ufufufufu!" I glanced around worriedly. 'I defiantly did not imagine that.
"Genko?"
I looked towards my mother voice and gasped. On top of the Temple silhouetted by the full moon was a
Dark figure with demonic wings and a scythe in hand. Its face contorted into a maniac grin and peered down at my mother's back with crazed blood red eyes.
"MOM WATCH OUT!"
I warned her, dashing towards to help her, to do something!..but I was too late.
The dark figure flew down, scythe in hand and swung decapitating my mother.
"MOOOMMMMM!" I screeched at the top of my lungs. Her head bounced towards me and stopped at my feet. Her expression was contorted into one of confusion. Red liquid seeped out of the hole where her neck should be.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" I let out a blood curling scream as tears began to flow down my face.
"HAHAHAHAHAH!" Maniacal laughter flooded my ears an I looked up to see the figure standing over my mothers body, crackling with laughter, licking the blood off their scythe.
"Y-You M-monster..." I whispered, shaking in fear. The figure must of heard me because it stopped laughing and turned towards me with its piercing eyes. The next thing I knew a hand was around my throat, choking the life out of me. The figure lifted me off of the ground.
"Kind of an ironic statement don't you think?" It spoke in a distinctly feminine voice. "Your dead mother was and your half-monster yourself you know."
"Why..." I struggled to speak through the combination of grief, fear, and the hand crushing my windpipe.
"Hmm? Could you speak up I couldn't here you." The woman put her other hand to her ear in a mocking gesture.
"Why...would y-you do something like this!?" I choked out through my tears.
"...You know your kinda cute... I bet you'll grow into a beautiful woman when you grow up." The woman giggled, ignoring my question.
"W-wha...?"
"I think I'll mark you... Yes! That sounds like a wonderful idea!" She suddenly exclaimed and brought my face dangerously close to hers. If it was possible, even more fear enveloped me. I panicked.
"W-what are you do-mmph!?" my panicking was cut off by the woman crushing her lips on mine. Her tongue forced its way in my mouth and began to roam about it. I flushed despite myself, and hated that fact. I could feel the woman smirk into the kiss and attacked even rougher. My mind was beginning to cloud with unwanted pleasure.
The woman continued to assault my mouth for a couple of minuets before pulling back, and grinning at my dazed, tear stricken face before walking over to the large flight of steps and casually throwing me down them.
"There that should do it! You have monster blood in you so you won't die from this height." She gleefully spoke down at my falling form.
As I was falling more tears began to pour from my eyes. The woman turned to walk away but stopped and looked over her shoulder at me.
"Oh! And to answer your question from before..." A horrifying grin spread across her face and her red eyes shone with blood thirst.
"I felt like it."
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!"
I screamed, opening my eyes. I was breathing heavily, clutching my heart. 'Just a dream' 'Just a dream.' 'It was just a dream.' I shut my eyes tight, grabbing the sheets. A tear rolled down my cheek. 'Mother...'
BANG!
The door to the room I was in swung open and Tamamo rushed out, frantically scanning the room.
"Genko! Are you okay!? I heard you scream!" As soon as her eyes landed on my shivering form, she was by my side pulling me into a hug. I immediately leaned into the embrace, while she wrapped her nine tails around me protectively.
"...You had that nightmare again." She spoke softly. I nodded still holding her close.
"Oh, Genko..." She stroked my head as my body rocked with quiet sobs.
Tamamo's P.O.V
'Who would do this to a child..' I thought angrily, comforting Genko as she cried.
Before long Genko stopped crying and was silent.
"Genko, are you feeling better now?"
"Yeah..." She pulled herself away from me and gave me a teary-eyed smile. Suddenly her face fell and her hair shadowed over her eyes.
"Genko?" I asked her worriedly. Her body began to shake again and I grabbed her by the shoulders and forced her to look at me.
"Genk-!?" I gasped at her expression of barely restrained anger.
"Kill... I'll kill that women when I find her..." She spoke through gritted her teeth.
"Genko..." I looked at her sadly.
"I-I'll avenge mother...and kill that monster..." Tears trailed down her cheek anew.
I quickly pulled her into another hug. "Genko," I spoke gently.
"You can't start thinking like that..."
"I-I know but...If nobody stops that woman someone else will go through the same thing I did.." I stroked her back gently.
"Although that is true, you cannot do so with hatred in your heart. It will blind your judgement and you'll end up doing something you will regret."
"Then what should I do!?" She shouted, looking at me with teary eyes.
"Get stronger Genko. For yourself, not for the goal of killing that woman. Protect those that cannot protect themselves and prevent them from experiencing what you did." I told her gently.
She looked down and gave out a weak chuckle. "That sounds like the spiel those so called 'heroes' follow..."
"What's wrong with that?" I asked her.
"Huh!?" Her head shot up and gave me an incredulous look.
"I said whats wrong with it? Its an admittedly noble goal and fits your needs no?"
"What needs?" She asked confused. I smiled down at her.
"You told me before we left Yamatai, that you promote the coexistence between humans and monsters right?" She nodded numbly. "And you said that you wanted to prevent other from experiencing the pain you did?" Another nod.
"Then this seems like the perfect solution don't you think?" I clapped my hands together and smiled.
"Wait a minute!" She held her hand up. "Your telling me to become a hero, and go on a quest to defeat the monster lord!?" Her eye twitched wildly.
"..."
I smacked her on the head with my fan.
"OWW! What was that for!?" She cradled her throbbing head.
"FOR BEING THICK IN THE HEAD! WHY WOULD I WANT YOU TO GO SLAY THE MONSTER LORD!"
"YOU SAID BECOME A HERO!"
Sigh... Honestly, this girl...
"I meant become your own hero. Fight for your beliefs and ideals, and do what you feel needs to be done." I smiled when realization flashed in her eyes.
"Oh..."
I giggled and kissed her on the forehead.
"T-Tamamo!"I giggled even more when a blush erupted on her face, then made my way to the door.
"Well, I'm not forcing you to make the decision, its your choice just think about it for me okay?" I looked back to see her nod.
"Good now lie down and rest, your still recovering from your fight with Granberia." 'I need to have words with that girl about holding back.' I was turning to leave when I heard her speak.
"Tamamo."
"Hmm?"
"Thank you."
I smiled.
"Your welcome Genko."
Genko's P.O.V
"Your welcome Genko."
I watched Tamamo leave the room before I lied back down on the bed.
'She may not be my biological mother, but she is still a mother to me.' A smiled worked its way to my face.
'A hero huh? Maybe...' I closed my eyes and began to drift off to sleep.
Knock Knock
My ears twitched when I heard knocking at the door. 'Who could that be?' I thought as I lifted my head in time to see the door open to reveal a certain draconic knight.
"Granberia?" I questioned.
"Oh, good your up." Granberia spoke coming to the side of the bed.
"What are you doing here?" I asked still confused at the Heavenly Knights presence.
She rose an eyebrow."To check up on you. You did pass out after our fight you know."
"Oh..!" I blushed. "Thank you for your concern. I'm just feeling a little tired."
"I see... Thats good." The fire knight suddenly had a contemplating look on her face.
'I wonder what she's thinking about.' She nodded to herself, seemingly agreeing on something.
"Genko have you ever had a teacher?" 'Huh?'
"What kind of teacher?" I asked her.
"A sword instructor." She clarified.
"Oh... No I'm self taught. No one in Yamatai uses swords so I never had anyone to teach me."
"Really?" Granberia looked a little surprised at my answer.
"Yes, most of the kitsune train in the ninja arts rather than use swordplay. Is that weird?"
'Is it?'
"No, I was just surprised. Your rather good for someone who never had formal training."
I blushed at the praise. "Thank you." I scratched the back on my head . "I'm proud of my sword skills you know."
"Well your alright, not too many people dual wield weapons, monsters and humans included. However you could still refine them. Their fast but lack power. You barely scratched me." She sounded disappointed at the end.
'Well you are a Heavenly Knight, what you expect?'I thought while sweatdropping.
"You need more training,"
'I know... I wouldn't be able to hold a candle to that woman otherwise...'
"Which is why I decided to train you."
'Wait.. What?'
"Train me? Are you offering t-"
"Teach you? Yes I am." She interrupted me. My jaw dropped. Wow... the Heavenly Knight of Fire, Granberia herself offered to become my instructor. Do you know how many monsters would kill to be in my position right now? Heck, even some humans would jump at the chance to be Granberia's student!
"Well? Do you accept?" She spoke again, amused at my reaction.
I quickly closed my mouth and bowed respectfully.
"Y-Yes! I'd love to be your student!"
The Dragonewt chuckled at my my answer. "Raise your head, no need to be overly formal with me."
"Y-yes! Thank you for the opportunity!"
'This is great! I get to be personally trained by a Heavenly Knight!' I was doing cartwheels in my mind, and Granberia apparently knew it if the amused smile was any indication.
"Then its decided then." She said before sitting at the foot of the bed.
'With her guidance, I could become so much stronger than I am now! Then I can accomplish my goal!
...
...
...
"G-Granberia?"
"Yes?"
"Is there something else you wanted from me?" I asked her wondering why she was still here.
"No." She answered. 'Ooookay...'
"..."
"..."
"N-Not to be rude, but why are you still here if not for me?"
"To sleep. Its getting late." She got up and began stripping out of her armor.
What Is she doing!?
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" I yelled covering my eyes, while my face erupted in a blush.
"I told you, I'm going to sleep."
"WHY DON'T YOU GO TO YOUR ROOM THEN!?" I shouted again, looking through my fingers.
She turned and I blushed even more. She was NAKED! Granberia rose an eyebrow.
"You do know this is my room right?"
"..."
WHAT?
I looked around, just now noticing the various assortment of swords and other equipment hung across the walls of the room, The wardrobe across from me containing a variety of scantily armor remarkable similar to Granberia's pooled around her feet, the oils and rags for cleaning weapons resting on top of a dresser in the corner of the room, The freaking furnace and whetstone far to left of the room used to smelt and sharpen weaponry, and the lavish bed with a dark red canopy that I was currently laying on. The spacious room managing to maintain the Victorian feel, despite being chocked full of metal instruments of death.
"WHY AM I IN YOUR ROOM!?" I once again shouted.
"I carried you here after you pass out." Granberia answered calmly, putting away her discarded clothing."And stop shouting, its annoying." She shot me a glare.
I lowered my volume at her insistence.
"T-Thank You for the consideration! I-I'll leave so you can s-sleep!" I made to get up but A scaled hand pulled me back down on to the bed.
"Don't. You might aggravate your injuries."
"B-But I couldn't possibly-"
"Its fine. Just move over."
"W-Wait!" It was to late. Granberia slipped into the covers next to me and laid on her side.
"Goodnight Genko."
"G-goodnight, but I really shouldn-" I began.
"Shut up and go to sleep...unless you want to taste Ares blade?"
"N-No ma'am!" Once was enough!
"Then go to sleep." She spoke with finality.
"Y-Yes ma'am..." I sighed with resignation.
I gave up protesting and lied down on the bed. I closed my eyes and tried to get some shut eye.
...
...
'Its no use!' Shouted mentally. I could not sleep with her next to me like this. I looked over and saw an admittedly cute sight.
Granberia was asleep peacefully, a small smile on her face and a dribble of drool trailing down from her mouth, as her chest moved up and down slowly. Her body was wound up in a ball, clutching a pillow tightly, as she mumbled in her sleep. She looked so much more smaller, and vulnerable then she is when she is awake.
"Zzzz...T..hat...the.. best ..you ...got..?...Zzz...I'll show...you... what...a...real...zzz...attack...looks..like...!"
'The personality is still the same though.' I thought while giggling. She seemed to be fighting an opponent in her dream.
"Zzzz...Taste...my...zzz..blade..."
I laughed silently and closed my eyes as Granberia continued to fight the adversary of her dreams.
I yawned, really feeling tired now.
'Lets...try again...'I began to drift off.
"Hehehe..zzzz...I...won~...zzz...guess... what...that...means~"
My eyes snapped opened as Granberia suddenly wrapped her body around mine, locking her legs around my waist, and pushing her chest in my face.
"W-WHAT THE HEL-!? ACK!" I was cut off as Granberia tightened her grip around me, grinding her body into mind.
"...No...escape~zzzz.!"
My face heated up to unimaginable heights as Granberia attempted to rape in her sleep.
'She really is different when she is asleep!'
I tried to struggle out of her hold, but she was too strong. 'Hopefully she realizes I'm a girl before its to late!'
"Eep!" I let out a squeak when she gropped my butt.
"Zzz..hehehe..that was a cute noise..you let out~.."
I froze when I felt a hand travel up my thigh.
"Zzzz...Hora...hora...zzzz.."
I gulped.
'SOMEBODY HELP ME!'
