Chapter 2: Kill The Lemons!

The sun rose over the Jaeger HQ walls, illuminating the poison daisy's which glowed like blue fire amiss a sea of green grass blades. Tatsumi would have marveled at its beauty had he not been deprived of sleep by running and hiding from Esdese the entire night and morning. Now all he could do was hidden in the corner of the large dining room, his Incursio draining his strength by the minute. He could barely hold on to his invisibility, having to turn it off and on when someone entered the room to eat or clean. His eyes felt like steel girders, pulling down his last scrap of resistance, the darkness of exhaustion threatening to take him. At least he had not been fondled to death by the love crazed woman, who had given up her search a few hours ago, this had not stopped him from being on guard however, he feared waking up to a suffocating pair of breasts.

'who am I kidding ... I'd love that ... I'm just nervous and a little uh... SCARED!' he though through an aching skull.

Despite his obvious attraction, Tatsumi still feared her. She was perhaps the strongest woman in the city, but what scared him the most was the desperation and sadness that lay behind her eyes, how weak she was to him. But not only was it her weakness, it was also his own, he felt his chest tighten when she looked at him lovingly, it was a new sensation that even he had little experience. He heard the door open, his chest skipped a beat as he held his breath. Activating Incursio's camouflage, covering him from view as the hulking figure entered, it was not Esdese. Tatsumi flinched, anyone but him

"I'll make a beautiful soup for everyone, and it will taste oh so yummy!" Bols exclaimed aloud

'oh god, anyone but this guy ... he's scarier than Esdese!' Tatsumi pleaded for him to leave, but Bols only equipped a large apron and began dicing vegetables and thin pieces of bacon, his spare hand filling the pot with hot water while he whistled cheerily. The large executioner was only a meter from Tatsumi,his hulking shoulders turned away, Tatsumi could smell the thick stench of diced onions and garlic. Bols must have not been less affected by it, due to his mask, because Tatsumi was on the edge of a sneezing fit, the onions and garlic not considered a big enough threat for Incursio, perhaps the Teigu wanted him to falter, Tatsumi had no idea but it was becoming too much. He cringed, his nostrils flaring, his nose ticklish.

He Sneezed "AAAAAAAAAACHOOO !"

Bols leaped into the air, a most unmanly scream tearing from his lips "EEEEEK !"

Bols turned and struck, his fist colliding with Tatsumi's chest, his Incursio deciding to desert him alone in this maddening kitchen. Tatsumi was knocked back, pinned to the wall like a squashed fly. He exhaled, pain and surprise leaking out of him like a faint cry. Bols panicked

"UHHH TATSUMI-SAN ! FORGIVE ME, I DID NOT SEE YOU !"

He bent down and picked Tatsumi up, his arms crushing him in a desperate hug. Tatsumi tried to scream

"C..C...CANT...BREATHE!"

Bols looked at the crushed specimen he held, dropping him in surprise "Ah .. forgive me!"

Tatsumi got to his feet, brushing the dust from his pants. "It's okay ... I was hiding"

Bols scratched his head "From who?"

Tatsumi shivered "Esdese ...Uh...General Esdese I mean. She's been hunting me"

his smile could be seen from within his mask "Ah ... Love is something you can't run from Tatsumi-kun!" Bols said with an inhuman blush.

The new Jaeger's mouth twitched "Love does not chase after you with a whip ...Oh, have you seen her this morning by any chance ?"

Bols shook his head "She told us she had a meeting up in the palace, she seemed very tired"

Tatsumi smiled, she had been extremely devoted on finding him, and she had payed the price. Perhaps if she had mentally prepared herself for the mansion wide inquisition, she could have stayed awake for days, he guessed the addition of alcohol had not helped her cause one bit. He could hardly feel his eyes, he needed to sleep badly. With Esdese gone perhaps he could get some sleep for a good few hours, it seemed that hunting Tatsumi had taken its toll on her, but who was he to judge, running and hiding from her mansion wide inquisition had taken its toll on him also. Wave, a familiar face, stepped into the kitchen yawning. He opened one eye an froze, not registering Tatsumi's presence for a good 10 seconds. Then he screamed

"YOU !" He said red faced

"Me ?"

"YEAH YOU, BAKA ! YOU LEFT ME ALL ALONE ON THE MOUNTAIN AND I HAD TO FIGHT THIS NIGHT RAID GUY. THEN WHEN I GOT BACK, I WAS TORTURED BY GENERAL ESDESE FOR HOURS BECAUSE I HAD LOST YOU !" He gripped his legs in fearful memories of his hour long torture.

Tatsumi laughed distractedly "Ah ...yes...uhm well...BYE!" he said bolting for the door

Wave grabbed his wrist "Wait a minute their partner ... It's good to have you back, that's all"

Tatsumi smiled genuinely "I never thought I'd say it but ... It's kinda nice to be back!"

He knocked on the door, he did not want to risk alerting a servant or another Jaeger member who might be in Esdese's chambers. he then remembered leaving his sword in the room, he would need to retrieve it before making anymore foolish decisions in enemy territory, but what shocked him most was the fact he wasn't one himself, none of them considered him an enemy or even suspected him of any wrong doings. No one replied, it was safe. He pushed the door open, hoping the loud creak would not alert anyone else, he slid into the room and softly closed it behind him. The room was dark, no one had opened the curtains. The window was fully repaired however, Tatsumi snorted at the capitals high priority on the nobles windows over the peasants food. Across the room he could see his sword upon the table, sitting next to it was Esdese's very own sword. Seeing the two blades side by side gave him an odd but pleasing feeling, he had no idea why.

'Just grab it and get out, maybe I can find a bed to use' he wondered to himself.

Then he saw her bed, the blankets in a messy heap to one side. He took in its king sized glory and felt weak at the knees, his eyes were no longer steel girders but an entire railway. He look to the large ornate clock on the wall, If Esdese was returning from her meeting in a few hours, he was sure she would not mind or notice him taking a sleep in her bed, she had practically dragged him into it the night before, and sleep now was dragging him to it also. He kicked off his boots and unbuttoned his T-shirt, stopping for a second, then completely taking it off. Nothing would soothe him better than the soft silk sheet against his bare skin, he wanted sleep to take him completely. He grabbed for his sword, leaning it against the desk so that he would grab it on his way out.

He thought about taking off his pants, then looked at the clock again, he'd have plenty of time for a power nap. he stripped down to his boxers, slipping into the large bed and grinning to himself. He pulled the mess of a blanket over, not looking as he pulled, it was evenly spread across the bed now.

"And it's all mine!" he chuckled

The bed stirred next to him, the lump he had taken for blankets rolling closer to him. Something large, warm and soft pressed against his back. A light snore stirring from behind him. Tatsumi froze. Esdese's bare breasts pressing against his shoulder blades like heavy pillows of the divine angels. Instant fear washed over his whole body

'OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT!' He mentally screamed.

He wanted to move, but he had already stirred her from deep sleep, she might wake at any sudden movement. He had thought the pile of blankets were merely ...well...A pile of blankets. Now Esdese was mumbling in her sleep, mumbling his name. With the slow careful ease of an assassin, he turned his body to face her, His face turning bright red. She was indeed, topless, and Tatsumi had to hold his nose shut unless he wished to die of blood loss, he diverted his eyes, pretending that her nipples weren't pressed against his like two fists punching in friendly comradeship. Esdese's eyes were closed, her mouth slightly ajar as she cutely mumbled.

'She actually is kinda cute ... WAIT...THIS IS THE SAME WOMAN WHO COULD KILL ME WITH HER INDEX FINGER" He warned himself gravely

She moaned and reached out, locking on to Tatsumi's shoulder and pulling him in tightly into her sleepy embrace. Her arms clutched him tightly like a girl to a stuffed bear. His face pressed against her chest, her leg folded over his own. What could he do now ? He began to mentally panic, not able to move an inch in this bed with the hot woman. Why the hell was she not at the meeting !? She stirred again, she was coming closer and closer to waking up. Then he saw it, across the room against the desk was his sword, its handle slowly edging off the edge and slipping seemingly at a snail's pace. He had not balanced it when he had drunkenly put it in place.

'OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD !' He was powerless to the laws of gravity.

The sword came down with a large metallic crash against the tiled floor. He froze, turning his eyes only to meet the gaze of hers. Her eyes looked like sharp sapphires in a frozen cave. Then suddenly her grip was tighter, her grimace now a ruthless grin of lust and longing.

"So you decided to return ehhh Tatsumi! After you ran off and hid like a frightened child, how weak!"

"Uh...W... Yes Esdese, I did not know you were still in bed .. F...F...Forgive me ?" he stuttered.

She would not hear excuses however, she placed her hands on his backside and squeezed playfully, he squeaked like a girl, which only made her more intrigued. Then her lips were against his neck, trailing up to his chin and flicking across his lips. He tried to shy away, but she would have none of that.

"You made me wait all night and day Tatsumi! And you come back expecting to just sleep away your punishment ... oh you are very mistaken!"

"P...Please don't hurt me" he pleaded jokingly

She shook her head "Your pain could be my pleasure"

For emphasis she leaned in and pinched his nipple. He yelped like a frightened dog. His entire plan had fallen to shambles, and now he found himself in the exact same position he was in last night, except now he was completely tired and she was completely rested, there was no getting away now.

"W..Where is your shirt..." Tatsumi said distractedly

She smirked "Don't you like me without my top ?"

He shook his head rapidly "N...NO MAM THEY ARE PERFECT!"

She giggled "Don't just compliment them ... Grab them, or I'll hurt you"

Tatsumi's voice hitched up a tone "WHAT CHOICE DO I HAVE !"

She climbed on top of him and grabbed his wrists, guiding his hands up her breasts, cupping the weight and lightly squeezing with tender delicacy. She flicked her head back, biting her lip and blushing brightly. Things were going a little faster than she thought, but she was more than happy to go all the way, she longed for him with each passing minute. Tatsumi blushed brighter than her however, he wanted to play with these for years, but he was so nervous he had no idea what to do. He needed to change topic

"You told Bols you had a meeting ?"

She rolled her eyes "Don't kill the mood, I told him that so I could get hours sleep after spending all night chasing after you and your damned Incursio"

Tatsumi then realized "Uh ... Esdese, how are you going to tell the others about me being in Night Raid... Wave fought me before"

She leaned in and bit down on his ear "Let's worry about that later ... Kiss me Tatsumi, don't make me do all the work!" she demanded.

She rolled them over, now Tatsumi was on top of her, his face looking down at hers. She shly looked away, when she was on top she felt powerful and dominant, now she felt shy and safe, it was all very new to her, since when had she ever been safe ? Tatsumi inches closer, closing his eyes in timid anticipation. Their lips met, an electric buzz filled their bodies like circuits. He kiss down her cheek, to the tender skin of her neck. She grabbed his head and gently pushed him lower, kissing down her collarbone to her shoulders. She pushed more, Tatsumi's lips kissing the top of her breasts and moving down lower. Her breath went ragged, her eyes slightly closed as the burning sensation erupted throughout her body, her thighs tingling. She pushed him lower still, his lips meeting the nipple of her right breast.

"You can make your apology by pleasing me Tatsumi, please me or die!" She said almost jokingly, her eyes still looking nervous and innocent

"Y...Yes mam!" He replied, also nervously

He began to caress her, his tongue rolling over her breast and lightly flicking over her nipple. She let her head rest back, the sensation drove her mad, but she laid back ad let it wash over her whole body. She moved her hands through his hair, feeling the soft texture, like clouds in a dream land. That's how she felt, as if she were in a dream. She pulled his head up to hers, fiercely ravaging his face with her lips, her was mad about her too now, pushing against her lips harder. In a moment of animalistic lust, he gently bit her tongue. This brought out her playful side, her hands clawing at his back, he did not mind the sharp pain and nails pressed hard, not hard enough to scratch or break skin, but sharp enough. Her hands crawled down his back and to the front of his boxers, lightly squeezing where it could only feel good. Tatsumi stiffened and exhaled sharply.

She giggled "I'm glad it pleases you Tatsumi, be grateful you caught me in a good mood this morning!"

"This is your good mood ? Now I'm worried ..."

She slapped him across the face and ran her tongue across the mark "disrespectful slave, I ought to tie you to this bed"

He grabbed her arms and spread them across to the corners of the bed, his forehead resting against hers "U...Uhm how about we get breakfast ?"

"Excuse me ?"

"You know ... Cereal, Bacon and Eggs, I think Bols may have finished that soup he was cooking"

She gently pressed her knee to his crotch "What makes you think I want to go anywhere else ? You're my property and you will do as I say" She scowled

"I'm not your property! I'm ...well..."

"Property ..." she said grinning

"I'm your boyfriend!" he snapped

She recoiled, dropping her knee and staring at him shocked. A long moment of awkward silence passed between them, then she was on top of him again, running kisses across his face and smiling brightly

"Really ? You really mean it !?" She shouted giddily

"Well ..." He sighed then smiled "Yeah, You're my girlfriend right ?" The word was new to him also, he felt a little giddy himself

Her face then turned cold "You shall be my Boyfriend Property! And I shall still remain the dominant one between us"

She hopped out of bed and put her clothes on, despite her cold militaristic tone, Tatsumi thought he heard the excitement of a young lady who just got what she had always wanted. Esdese could try to hide it behind her dominant, cold and conserved exterior, but Tatsumi was beginning to realize how much she had always wanted this. He watched her get changed, her butt jiggling as she skipped about the room in a very un-general like manner that one might only see in a fair or music festival. She turned to him and gave him perhaps them most happiest smile he had ever seen.

"Let's go get breakfast and tell the others the great news, okay?" She winked happily.

'Well ... At least I diverted the topic off sex ... but man oh man, it's like an army of butterflies just stepped inside me' he thought

"uuuhh .. you go ahead, I'll be out in a minute"

Instead of going on ahead, she had waited for him outside her room. As soon as he closed the door behind them she reached out her hand to grip his, giving him a questioning look she waited, he smiled and took her hand, folding his fingers around her own as they walked the hallways towards the dining hall where the Jaeger's awaited the days orders.

The Dining room was filled with commotion. Kurome was fending off Wave from taking her bag of biscuits, wave was convinced she needed a bigger fish diet. Bols was singing to himself in the corner, dishing up the soup into small saucers. Run was flicking through the pages of his many books, not paying much attention to the others. Seryu and Koro yapped and played with one another atop a table, not bothered by the food laid out for them. The moment Esdese and Tatsumi entered the room, hands held close together, the entire room went silent.

Esdese smirked "Tatsumi is mine, whoever touches him romantically will be flayed and hung. Okay ?" she said almost cheerily

Tatsumi was again reminded of her sadism "uhhh ... Hey guys" he said, pretending his leader and girlfriend did not just threaten everyone in the room.

Bols clasped his hands to his face and cooed "KAWAAII ! I told you persistence was the key, Lady Esdese!"

She nodded "Yes, thank you Bols"

Kurome cocked an eyebrow "When did you get back ?"

Tatsumi was about to answer but Esdese cut him off "He broke into my room to fondle my sleeping body"

He yelled " I DID NO SUCH THING! YOU GOTTA BELIEVE ME !"

Run opened his checkbook "She pays us our salary, not you ... sooo I'm going to believe her"

The accused sexual predator dropped to his knees and groaned "Why me ..."

Run laughed, then turned back to the General "I've looked into your request, it's possible to make a fake body that resembles Tatsumi"

Esdese gripped her fists "Good, have it made and have it carried out in the streets, with enough witnesses Night Raid wont miss it"

"Why exactly are we making a fake body for him ? what does he have to do with Night Raid ?"

Esdese zipped her fingers across her lips "Classified, you won't need to know just yet. Is that an issue" she asked accusingly

"Not at all" Run said, lifting his hands up in surrender

Tatsumi finished his breakfast, pretending that Esdese was not groping his crotch under the table with her boot, he did a poor job of looking normal however. Wave thankfully broke the silence of breakfast.

"Orders today mam ?"

Esdese bit her lip "I was thinking of having the day off ... I'd like all of you to spread rumors about Tatsumi's death, obviously Myself and Tatsumi can't be out there for obvious reasons. Do you think you can all do that ?"

They all replied "Yes Mam !"

Tatsumi cocked an eyebrow "uuuhhh what about me ..."

"Us" she corrected

"Yeah ... what are we going to do ?"

Esdese grinned "You are going to take my virginity and we shall become one" her blush bright and radiant.

The table splashed with soup as Kurome, Wave, Run, Bols and Seryu spat out mouth fulls of the mornings meal. Their eyes wide with shock, embarrassment, arousal and perhaps a little jealousy. Tatsumi only glared wide eyed at the giggling blue haired babe that was now...

"And if you don't ill torture you" She grinned wider

His Girlfriend.
