Chapter 8

In the middle of the night...

"Zenki!""Chiaki!"

"Zenki, did we just share a wet dream?"

"If you mean a dream about us mating, yes we did, Chiaki!"

"Oh hell! Now we need to go wash and air the bedding, our bodies thought we were mating for real, and released fluids, hence why this kind of dreams are called wet dreams."

"Let's go together to the washroom, Chiaki! I'll help you wash and you'll help me"

"Uh... why for?"

"The dream has left me with the desire to touch you, and me to be touched by you... since I promised I won't mate with you without your permission, I need an outlet for the mating urges that doesn't go against my promise!"

"You have a good reason, I'm feeling the desire to touch you too, I want to mate with you too, but right now it's not a good time, we have a lot of issues to work through."

"Ah, Chiaki, this feels good!" Chiaki was washing Zenki with a towel and kissing him from time to time, while toweling his body.

"My turn, Chiaki!" Zenki did what Chiaki did, but he also played with her breasts with his hands and mouth.

"A~n, Zenki, feels good!"

"This way we both feel good!"

The next dawn they woke embracing each other again completely naked and mildly embarrassed at what they had done...

.:Chiaki, thanks for letting me touch and play with you, tonight the mating urges were strong and I had to remind myself of my promise to you! You made me feel really good even if we haven't mated fully yet!:.

.:You're welcome, Zenki, you also made me feel very good. I feel mating urges too, but I want you to get used to your human form and regain your kishin form before we mate fully!:.

.:Are you up for some kissing now, Chiaki?:.

.:OH, YES, ZENKI!:.

.:Eager, aren't you?:.

.:Actually, yes, you make me feel very, very good when you kiss and embrace me!:.

Later, but still early morning...

"Ohayou, Zenki!"

"Ohayou, Chiaki!"

"We had to put a clean futon, but it was a very good night, Zenki!"

"Oh yes, touching and being touched by you is very enjoyable, Chiaki!"

"Once we manage to control the bond and return you to your real form, we need to talk and see if you still want to mate with me. I'm afraid that in your kishin form you'll only be interested in fighting and eating possession seeds, like before."

"Chiaki, I did like you in kishin form, even if I'd rather die than admit it then, and you're the only woman I consider worthy to be my mate, you're caring, fierce and not afraid to fight even the most difficult enemies!""You're MY woman, and my kishin self had better accept it!"

"Thank you, Zenki!"

"Now let's see about getting dressed and going to have breakfast... I'm hungry!"

"Me too!"

Before breakfast...

"Zenki, why do you and Chiaki-sama smell like you had sex?"

"We shared a wet dream, and did a bit of fondling while we were getting clean, but don't worry we're not mating fully unless Chiaki wants it and allows me to. I promised her I would'nt go past a bit of fondling, until she explicitly tells me she wants to mate fully with me!"

"Zenki, you're lucky our Master likes you a lot, if Saki-baasama knew you two are doing things you ought to reserve for when you fully mate, I wouldn't want to be in your shoes!"

"Gokimaru-kun, Zenki, are you coming to have breakfast?"

"Yes, Chiaki-sama, we're coming!"

After an abundant breakfast, before training...

"Zenki, Chiaki-sama, please be more careful when you do anything relating to sex, if Saki-baasama knows you're doing things she thinks ought to be reserved for marriage you'll be in great trouble. She is one seriously scary old lady!"

"Yeah, I'd rather not be in Saki-baa's bad side, I like her, but she scares me even in my kishin form!"

"You're right, baachan is scary!"

"Today's task for you is meditating in the morning and talk about any issues you have, and after lunch go to town."

"Do we have to? If I meet those two guys I don't know if I'll resist the temptation to fry them!"

"I agree with Zenki!"

"Yes we have, I have errands to run for Saki-baasama, and you two need to get out more or you'll be jumpy when surrounded by people!""Now, let's meditate!"

.:You were right, Zenki, Goki is a true oni even in human form!:.

.:True, Chiaki, we better start talking mind to mind, about our issues, at least this way what we talk is private between us!:.

.:Zenki the only issue I have with you is that I'm afraid that you won't want me to be your mate when you regain your kishin form, because you'll only be interested in fighting and eating possession seeds like before!:.

.:I don't deny that fighting and eating possession seeds are things that I greatly enjoy, but you're very important to me, and not only as my Master, you are my friend and I'm learning how to be your boyfriend, and I intend to keep the promises I've made to you! When the time's right we will mate and be together for life!:.

.:Thank you, Zenki, please hug me in astral form?:.

.:Of course, Chiaki, I love the warm feeling when our souls touch!:.

"So you want me to kidnap that girl in a way that will keep her boyfriend from beating me up and setting me on fire..."

"Basically, yes, her boyfriend is very violent with anyone he thinks want to hurt her, and if they recognize us, we're toast, so we need someone else to do the deed..."

"OK, I'll do it, but it's going to cost you with the risks involved."

After lunch , walking towards the town...

"Gokimaru-kun, I really think it's not a good idea going to town today, for some reason it's making me feel uneasy..."

"Chiaki's right, I feel ill intent against her, not killing intent, but something bad."

"We'll be on our guard, all three of us, I also feel uneasy, but I really need to do the errands for Saki-baasama..."

Later, after doing the errands all three were walking when a hand grabbed Chiaki and another hand held a knife to her throat...

"Let me pass with the girl if you want to see her alive again!"

Zenki and Gokimaru complied, they didn't know if trying to rescue her would lead to her death.

.:Zenki, Gokimaru, I'm going to try something risky, be prepared to heal me if I'm injured, but I survive!:.

Chiaki closed her eyes and concentrated on the flames hidden in her soul, willing them to manifest around her and burning her attacker and making him drop the knife.

.:Now, Zenki, Gokimaru-kun!:.

"You tried to hurt Chiaki, Now I'm going to make you hurt!"

The conspirators who were observing from a distance saw the red lightning that practically fried the would-be kidnapper, glad it wasn't directed at them.

"Damn it! Who could know that Chiaki was capable of manifesting flames around her body? Those three are monsters!"

"We need to rethink our plans, it's plainly too dangerous to act right now!"

"Soon, soon I'll be able to collect the souls that would help me destroy Enno Ozunu's legacy!"
