Chapter 13

The night after they found the second possession seed...

"Ne, Chiaki, I'm not very sleepy, do you want to cuddle a bit in astral form?"

"Yes, Zenki, I like a lot the sensations we get when our souls touch!"

The two of them embraced and started kissing with both body and soul touching, feeling the sensations magnified, both burning with desire for each other.

.:Wow, Zenki, the more we touch each other's soul, the pleasure multiplies! I want you so much right now that I don't know how I'm going to wait for you to regain your true form to fully mate!:.

.:The same for me, Chiaki, I want to touch you, taste you, and make love to you. I hope we can fully mate soon, but I understand your need to reassure yourself that my kishin self isn't going to reject you!:.

That same night, at Shikigami-chou...

Akane saw her mark drinking cup after cup and went to sit with him at the bar.

That woman, Akane, was a petty thief that used needles dipped in drugs to render her marks asleep or unconscious.

"Hello, handsome, want a little company? I wouldn't mind sitting with you for a while."

"Sure, you look pretty good yourself!"

When her mark was rather tipsy she suggested that they go outside and sit at a park nearby, where she sat with him and pricked him with the drugged needle, and then proceeded to divest him of all his valuables, his watch, all the money he had on him, and a few items of jewelry. When she was done with him, she noticed a glint of gold on a tree nearby and went to investigate, -If this is real gold I can sell it for a lot of money!- and then, as she went to grab the item, the possession seed woke up and possessed her.

The next morning, after breakfast...

"Today we're going to search for more possession seeds, we need to practice our range of sensing to improve it! Besides, all the seeds we get will get eaten by Zenki when he regains his true form!"

"I'm counting on it!"

"Zenki, Gokimaru-kun, we'll do the same as yesterday to search for the seeds?"

"Yes, Chiaki-sama, but this time we'll be looking for more than one seed. If we find more, it's likely that an enemy is planting the seeds. Now, let's link our minds and search!"

"Looks like there are two seeds further along the path we took yesterday, near Shikigami-chou, let's go see, but be careful, I don't know if we'll find a possession beast instead of a seed!"

Zenki, Gokimaru and Chiaki went down the path of the town and found the two seeds a few hundred paces apart. Gokimaru went to seal one of them and Chiaki and Zenki went after the other seed. Suddenly, there was a rain of needles, and Zenki moved fast like lightning to save Chiaki, who only got a single needle in her thigh.

There was a possession beast in front of them.

"I am Dokubari, and I'll be your doom, exorcists"

"Chiaki, the needles are poisoned with a paralitic poison!"

"Zenki!" -please work!- "Vajra On Aku!"

"Zenki, Chiaki-sama!" "Akasha On!"

Both turned into their kishin forms, and then...

"Goki, heal Chiaki, I'll take care of the beast and make it pay for hurting us!"

"Now we'll see how you like being pierced: "Kongoukaku!"

Zenki grabbed the seed and ate it, then looked at the woman covered by hundreds of punctures and said: "This is your punishment!"

Zenki then looked at Goki and Chiaki, who looked a little sad.

"Goki, go ahead of us, Chiaki and I need to talk."

"Chiaki, don't be sad, I still want you as my mate. Besides, you need to get prepared to mate fully with me... You did promise that we could mate fully after I regained my true form!"

"True, but I ask that you mate with me in human form first, you are rather big and I'm a virgin, the only man I've been with is you. We'll need to prepare for our joining or it's going to be painful, at least for me!"

A little distance away...

"Damn it, that guy really is a kishin, he dealt with the possession beast like it was nothing!"

"And he's getting lucky with Chiaki tonight, by the looks of it, seems she made him a promise and he's collecting on it!"

"Damn it again, I didn't think that Chiaki really wanted to have a monster for a boyfriend, but if they really are together, we're toast if we kidnap her!"

At the Enno shrine, a little later...

"... and that's what happened, when Zenki got hurt, Chiaki-sama used the release spell, and it worked this time, healing him, then he told me to heal Chiaki-sama, who had gotten hit with a poisoned neddle, and took care of defeating the beast and eating the possession seed inmediately after. Then Zenki told me he had to talk with Chiaki-sama, and to go ahead."

Just after Goki finished telling Chiaki's grandma the story of what had happened, Zenki arrived, still in kishin form, with Chiaki in his arms.

"Chiaki, go rest a bit, I need to talk with your grandma, Goki, keep her company until we're done talking."

"Alright, Zenki!"

After they had vacated the room, Zenki sat down and started talking:

"Saki-baa, I wanted to tell you that I'm going to mate with Chiaki very soon, and I intend to be with her for life. Please don't interfere, we may be having sex frequently, but for us the important thing is to be together!"

Saki gave him a glare and said:

"All right, Zenki-dono, but I expect that you make her your wife soon! You may think mating is enough, but in human society it's an important thing, otherwise people may think that either of you is free to be with others, and there would be a bloodbath when either of you go into a jealous rage!"

After the talk...

"Chiaki, your grandma has given permission for us to mate! She says we'd better marry soon, though!"

"That's wonderful, Zenki!"

"Before I try changing into my human form, I want to try kissing you... are you up for it?"

"Sure, just mind your fangs!"

After kissing, Zenki tried to concentrate on his human form to change back but ended up asking Chiaki to seal him.

"OK, Zenki, here we go!" "Va Vajra Shanti Sowaka"

"Now that we have some free time, want to spend the day together, Zenki? We can try to see if the release spell works later!"
