Here we are at Chapter 36. Sorry that it's been so long since I've last updated this story. I've been working on a bunch of other stories that I wanted to get finished or caught up on. Now that they're done, I have extra time to get back into this story. I appreciate everyone patiently waiting for this story to continue. Anyway, I do not own Code Vein or Skeleton Knight. They belong to their respective owners. I only own my OCs. Here's chapter 36. Enjoy.
Chapter 36: A Distraction
After making sure that no more Lost were around and any monsters or monster tamers were dealt with, Fuyumi and the others returned to the elf village. The chief was relieved to hear that the threat had been dealt with and the location of their village did not get leaked to their enemies. In thanks for their efforts in dealing with the monsters, Makutei allowed them to stay the night and prepared a banquet for Fuyumi and the others. In the evening, the village was full of celebration and good cheer. The people were dancing, drinking, and eating the night away. What's more, thanks to their efforts, Fuyumi, Iris, and Anelia have been welcomed by the rest of the elf village, much to their relief. However, despite the cheery atmosphere in the village, Fuyumi was probably the only one who was the least cheery. Her mind kept going back to the fight with the Lost. The fact that they're in this world is enough to worry her. Worse, someone is trying to learn how to control them, and may even be trying to recreate them. The Lost are her people reduced to mindless, bloodthirsty monsters who have lost themselves complete and can never return. They can't be controlled. But... if someone, somehow, managed to figure out how to do so, the results could be catastrophic.
Her mind filled with these dark thoughts, Fuyumi had a hard time enjoying the festivities and snuck away while everyone else wasn't looking. The only thing is, Elane was looking when she saw Fuyumi sneak away. As Fuyumi walks away, Umi flies in and lands on her shoulder.
Fuyumi pets her friend, "Trying to comfort me? Thanks, Umi, but I'll be okay," Fuyumi says, making Umi caw in reply.
"You look like something's weighing on you," Fuyumi turns to see Maruna approaching from behind. "Would you like to talk about it?"
"Not exactly. It's just... a bad revelation and all. And concerns for the future for everyone. It's difficult to explain, and I'm not exactly in the mood for talking. I didn't want to ruin the party for everyone else, so I left, but I guess you still caught me, huh," Fuyumi shrugs her shoulders.
"Whatever it is must be very important to you. I won't try to force you talk about it, so how about something else. Have you had a chance to wash up for the night yet?" Maruna asks.
"No. Why?" Fuyumi asks.
"How about I get the bath ready in our home and you can relax with some peace and quiet. The hot water should help clear your mind," Maruna says.
"Are you sure that's alright?" Fuyumi asks.
Maruna waves a hand, "It's fine. Now come, wouldn't want the others to worry about you if you're gone for too long," Maruna leads the way back to the chief's home.
Unaware that Elane was listening in from the shadows.
…
Inside the chief's home, Maruna had prepared the bath for Fuyumi and then left to return to the festivities. Umi flew with her, most likely to get something tasty to eat. In the bath, the hot water was indeed soothing to Fuyumi. She breathed a heavy sigh of relief as she sank her body into the hot water. Her thoughts seem to drift on and off with the liquid. She's so into it that she doesn't notice anything until the door opens up. She looks up... only to freeze when she see Elane standing before her in nothing but a towel.
"E-Elane?!" a blushing Fuyumi stutters. "Sorry, I must've been in the bath too long. If you want to take a bath, I'll get out-," she starts to get up.
"Don't get up," Elane stops her. "Time and time again, you have aided my people. Even after I tried to kill you. I owe you an immense debt. And after recent events, I can tell that you have much weighing on your mind. I do not know if I can help with whatever has you so concerned, but... I can at least provide a distraction," and with that said, Elane drops her towel, showing all her naked glory to Fuyumi.
Fuyumi's blushing face gets redder. Elane truly is a beauty. Elane closes the door to the room and steps into the bath. Fuyumi remains frozen until Elane is straddling her.
"W-Wait, Elane, are you sure you want to do this?" Fuyumi wants to make sure.
"Oh, just stop hesitating already like some scared virgin," Elane groans before leaning down to kiss Fuyumi.
Just like that, any sense of hesitation is gone as Fuyumi closes her eyes and reciprocates the kiss. Her arms wrap around Elane's beautiful body, while the latter rests her hands on her shoulders. Elane moans into the kiss as her body presses against Fuyumi's. Elane's arms wrap around her neck while Fuyumi's right hand lingers downward, giving one of her tight cheeks a nice squeeze. This elicits a muffled squeak from Elane, allowing Fuyumi to plunge her tongue into the elf's mouth. Elane's tongue fights against her, but Fuyumi's proves to be stronger and Elane surrenders. Fuyumi smirks into their kiss. After a few more moments of passionate lip-locking, Fuyumi separates their lips and starts trailing kisses along Elane's jaw and neck.
"Fuyumi..." Elane moans, craning her neck back to grant Fuyumi better access.
"Elane... I want... your blood," Fuyumi asks in between kisses.
"Just... do it," Elane grants her permission.
Fuyumi only hesitates for a second before plunging her fangs into Elane's flesh. Elane gasps like last time and her moans get louder. Fuyumi thought right before. Elane's blood was a little tastier than the others. Maybe because its elven blood than human blood. Either way, she was going to savor each drop. Elane starts bucking her body in Fuyumi's embrace, the euphoria of Fuyumi drinking her cascading over her. She could almost feel like she's about to climax right then and there. Soon enough though, Fuyumi pulls out. She doesn't want to drink too much after all, or else it could be bad for Elane. Elane slumps against her, a line of drool leaking from her mouth.
"Did you seriously just... after only sucking your blood?" Fuyumi is stupefied.
"I don't... understand it... either," Elane gasps before looming over Fuyumi. "Please... I want more,"
Fuyumi doesn't wait before reaching up to grab and squeeze Elane's breasts. This elicits new moans from the elf. Fuyumi licks her lips before leaning in to suck one of her nipples. Elane's arms tightly wrap around Fuyumi's head, pulling her in closer. Fuyumi switches between nipples, then even going as far as to suck both at once, eliciting shivers from Elane. She bucks her hips in the hot water, wanting to scratch an inch that just won't go away. Fuyumi can feel how excited she's getting. She picks Elane up into her arms and plants her on her back, her legs dangling into the bath. She spreads Elane's legs, seeing her wet center that looks like a mix of her bath water and her own creamy juices. Fuyumi licks her lips again.
"Would you please... not stare so much?" Elane glances away, embarrassed.
Fuyumi smirks before leaning down, taking a long slow lick across her entrance. This makes Elane twitch from the contact. Fuyumi is starting to enjoy these little reactions from the elven warrior. She goes at it several more times, licking up and down Elane's core, but never going inside. Not even a little bit. She holds Elane's legs down and wide to keep her from crossing them.
"F-F-Fuyumi, please... d-don't tease m-me like that!" Elane stutters and gasps.
Fuyumi glances up, seeing Elane's crimson face already going darker, "Oh, I don't... know what... you mean... Elane," she says in between teasing licks. "Care to give it to me straight?"
"Fuyumi..." Elane moans.
Fuyumi reaches up, flicking Elane's stiffening bud, making her jolt. Elane's fingers grip the wooden floor, almost making marks in it. Fuyumi leans up to kiss her bud, then suck on it. This makes Elane woozy as juices flow from her lips. Fuyumi just wanted to make sure she was ready.
"Alright, I think I've tortured you long enough," Fuyumi mutters before pulling her lips aside and finally sending her tongue in.
Elane moans as Fuyumi's tongue goes inside her, sliding against her inner folds as she goes as deep as she can. Her tongue twists and curls inside, finding out which spot is Elane's most sensitive. Elane bucks her hips anew, moving in tune with Fuyumi's tongue.
"Fuyumi... so good... Please go deeper," Elane moans.
Fuyumi pulls her tongue out, switching it with two fingers while her tongue focuses on her bud. Elane is losing strength from the attention, falling more and more into depravity. She knew that Fuyumi had experience when it came to this kind of thing, but she didn't expect her to be this good. Fuyumi keeps thrusting her fingers in and out of Elane, pushing the elf closer to her peak.
"Fuyumi... I'm almost..." Elane gasps.
Fuyumi switches spots and plunges her tongue back inside Elane while her fingers play with her bud. She wants to taste Elane as she climaxes. She gets her wish soon enough. After a few more moments, Elane arches her back as she moans loudly, climaxing into Fuyumi's waiting lips. Fuyumi licks up all of her juices, savoring the taste. After helping Elane calm down from her trip to nirvana, Fuyumi crawls over to straddle her.
"I take it you enjoyed yourself," Fuyumi asks with a knowing smirk. She stares at a gasping Elane, her chest heaving for air and her face red. "Perhaps we should continue this somewhere else,"
…
In Elane's room, the two women continue their love making on her bed. Fuyumi straddles over her as the pair kiss, their hands down between each other's legs. They've already made each other climax a couple times by now, but it seems Fuyumi has more stamina than Elane. Fuyumi pulls out her fingers, suspending them above Elane's face. Elane leans up to lick and suck on her fingers, tasting her own juices. Elane does the same for Fuyumi, allowing her to do with her fingers as she pleases. Once that's done, the pair have a few mother kisses before Fuyumi pulls Elane up into her lap. Moving their legs around, she lines up her lower lips with Elane's. The elf appears a bit nervous at the new position. She's quite sensitive after previous rounds and has never done something like this before. Taking a breath, she wraps her arms around Fuyumi's neck, giving her permission with a nod. Fuyumi moves them closer, hissing when their cores connect. Elane's grip on her neck tightens as well. The pair wait a moment before starting to buck their hips in tune.
"Elane, you feel so good!" Fuyumi moans through clenched teeth.
"Fuyumi... don't you dare stop," Elane moans.
The two slowly pick up the pace. Their breasts forced against each other, their cores sliding along thanks to how wet the two women are. It's all so wonderful to them. Elane leans back to kiss Fuyumi passionately. Fuyumi can feel it. She's getting close. Elane must be as well if her limbs clenching tighter around her are any indication. Their bucking gets faster and faster until finally they moan into each other's lips as they climax. They hold each other as tight as they can until the euphoria subsides. Once it's over, Fuyumi falls on top of Elane, catching her breath. Fuyumi leans over Elane, stroking her cheek.
"I suppose... that was a very good distraction," Fuyumi chuckles.
"To be clear, I have no intention of marrying you, though I wouldn't mind being your lover or mistress. The thing is that elves live far longer than humans. You may be a Revenant, but you used to be human. Do they live the same number of years?" Elane asks.
"Revenants can still age and die, but they live far longer than humans. Some can live for hundreds of years, due to our bodies being more similar to vampires who have long lifespans. It's just how we came to be created," Fuyumi explains. "That reminds me. I'll have to have another talk with Emilia about that when we get back."
"I see, well I still won't marry you. It's kind of a thing with me. But, I'll gladly be with you and share your bed from time to time. Marriage is simply a bit different with elves than it is with humans," Elane says.
"Well, I certainly wouldn't mind, even though I'm not human," Fuyumi notes, giving Elane another kiss.
"For now, I'm tired," Elane yawns.
Fuyumi grunts in amusement before rolling over, pulling Elane into her embrace. The pair drift off into sleep as the night rolls on by.
…
The next morning, everyone is having breakfast, though Elane's parents notice a slight tension in the air. That might have something to do with Anelia and Iris giving Fuyumi looks, making the white-haired woman nervous. She glances to Elane for support, but the elf simply turns her head away, leaving Fuyumi to fend for herself.
"Well, once again, we'd like to thank you all again for aiding our people. In the past, humans have shown little concern for elves, and have caused them much grief. That kind of pain will not heal easily, or quickly. Many of our kind still distrust humans, and will no doubt continue to do so, but... perhaps this is a sign. The winds of change are blowing and we must adapt to that change. There are those that are after our people, and we simply cannot deal with them on our own anymore,"
"Father, are you suggesting we work with the Kingdom of Anatolia?" Elane asks, surprised.
"I do not know if we can work together right away. But, perhaps we can begin the first step. You have already taken that step after all, Elane. Working and fighting alongside humans, and even someone who was once human. Our world is changing and we must adapt to that change. Lady Fuyumi, I shall prepare a missive for you to deliver to the king of Anatolia, informing him that I am willing to speak with him on starting formal relations between our two peoples. I can speak with some of the other elf villages scattered throughout the land and explain the details. I shall act as a representative for my people. Elane..." Makutei addresses his daughter.
"Yes, Father," Elane replies.
"I want you to continue travelling with Lady Fuyumi's party. Her travels have aided us in freeing our people, and answering so many questions. No doubt if you stay with her, you'll find out why our people were taken in the first place," Makutei explains.
Elane bows her head, "I understand, Father,"
"Lady Fuyumi, I'm entrusting my daughter to you. Look after her now," Makutei says.
"Father!" Elane yelps at the insinuation.
"Um, sure thing, Elder," Fuyumi glances between him and the looks Anelia and Iris are still giving her.
"Well, good luck, Elane," Maruna coos.
"Mother, you're not helping!" Elane is blushing now.
"Fuyumi," Anelia calls out with a smile, but her aura tells a different story.
"Y-Yes?" Fuyumi is getting really nervous now.
"You'll definitely tell us everything, right?" Anelia asks politely.
"Of course!" Fuyumi has no choice but to surrender. "Why does this remind me of Emilia? Did she teach Anelia this?"
After finishing their meal and making final preparations, the group get ready to return to Anatolia. Fuyumi explained to them how two Mistle plants can act as a gateway between each other, allowing them to travel from the elf village back to Crystalglove in a matter of seconds. This will save them so much travel time. Of course, before they leave, Fuyumi is made to explain what basically happened between her and Elane the night before to Iris and Anelia. Of course, she left out the more... explicit details of their night together. Anelia and Iris's reaction was basically that they were not surprised. Though, they were surprised that Elane declined the idea of marrying Fuyumi and would instead just be a friend, lover, and/or mistress. That kind of thing is not uncommon in human noble society. Of course, Fuyumi is more worried about how Emilia will take this, and how much damage she'll deal to Elane when they next talk. She can be pretty brutal at times, even when she's seen smiling. With everything settled, Fuyumi uses her powers to transport them back to Crystalglove in Anatolia.
…
Meanwhile, at an unknown underground location, several guards in armor are patrolling the corridors. As they do, suddenly, shadows move through the corridors and slice at their necks with small blades.
"What the-!" one guard couldn't finish his sentence before his neck splits open.
The shadows enter the light of the torches in the hall, revealing black clothing similar to ninjas. One pulls down their mask, revealing a pair of dark pink eyes.
"Let's move. We only have a small window. Get the prisoners out now," a female voice rings out.
The other ninjas nod their heads before moving down the hall.
The leader narrows her eyes, "These humans will pay for what they've done,"
"What's the plan after this?" a second ninja walks forth, a male standing a little taller than her.
"We'll get them across the border and then take them back to our home. They'll be safe there. My mistress will take care of the rest. For now, we get them out. What about the other squads?" she asks.
"They should be taking care of the rest of the guards here. We won't leave any witnesses," the man states.
The woman nods, "Good. Let's go. It's time we get our kin out of here,"
With that, the pair move down the hall to complete their mission in the dead of night.
And that's the chapter. We're back in the game now. Until my main stories get back into gear, I'll be working on this one again. Plenty more to come. Fuyumi adds Elane to her growing harem, but other forces are moving in the shadows. What other challenges await her in the near future? Until then, please Read and Review.
