Legacy Chapter Twenty Eight
#28 of Legacy
Legacy is a psychological science fiction thriller set against a backdrop of Neo-noir corporate futurism and transhuman ethics with a healthy dose of existential nihilism thrown into the mix. While defying genre and breaking the boundries of convention Legacy contains many of the more, shall we say, experimental themes and elements which would later go on to become a mainstay of my work. Which is to say that while this novel contains graphic depictions of sex and violence and is considered NSFW, you have been warned, it is also an exploration of the limits of what the written word is capable of conveying in terms of emotional content and the possibilities that fighting the first war holds.

Struggle and fight and live. Live, so that one day you can rub your enemies faces in the fact that your not dead. Fight, so that whatever happens to you never happens to another. And struggle, so that every day, every moment has meaning. If there is more to life then this . . . then I want to experience that too.
Chapter Twenty Eight : Childhood's end.
Neither Kato, nor Midnight had bothered to put back on any of their clothes. Instead, she had simply snuck him into her room like a thief in the night. Now, sitting on the edge of her bed, Kato couldn't help but purr as Midnight stroked his growing erection. So this is the power of a mature woman's technique. He thought as she quickened her pace. It feels good. As if cast to drift in a sea of intimate sensation Kato's entire body had begun vibrating as the sound of his purr steadily filled the room. He had been surprised when Midnight had first offered to stroke his cock, even more so when she had made it clear to him that she wasn't going to take no for an answer. He had done it dozens of times before himself of course, but not once had it ever felt the way it did now. With the warmth of Midnight's breasts pressing against his chest, the way he could feel her heart beating as she leaned herself against him, her tail intertwining with his, even the scent of her body began filling his mind with thoughts of what would come next as she showed him just how good it could feel. His need for release growing greater with every passing, Midnight could sense his desires through the tension in his body, through the pace of every breath he took that grew shorter then the last. Even now Kato was trying desperately to keep himself from thrusting against her hand, to hold himself back, so he could make what he was feeling last as long possible. Alternating between fast and slow strokes, Midnight began using every trick she knew to overcome his resistance. "Midnight," Kato whispered between breaths. "I can't hold it much longer." "Shhh," She whispered back. "Just let it happen." As if permission was all that he needed Kato began to cum with a force and intensity that was surprising even to her. So much. She thought as she held his pulsing shaft out over the bed. He must really keep himself pent up. Stroking him gently to help relieve the last of his tension, she was shocked when he began firing off another load onto the floor. That's twice now. How long does he go without having sex, forever? Because if so, then this is going to be even more difficult then I originally thought. Sighing as Kato continued to ejaculate, Midnight knew that it would all be worth it in the end. Having initiated over a dozen young men into the world of sex and responsibility she often found that when teaching male chimeras the finer points of making love to a woman, it was necessary to start with masturbation, because if allowed to run unchecked then their growing need for release would often leave them open to distraction. But once their initial desires had been satisfied, they became much more receptive to the necessary instructions. When Kato began to relax into her arms, Midnight knew that he would finally be able to focus properly. All she had to do now to turn him into a proper lover, was to instruct him in the finer points of satisfying her own needs. And in the time it would take to do that he would have had more then enough opportunity to recover. "Look at the mess you made all over the floor." Said Midnight as she wiped her hand on the side of the bed. "You know, the least that you could have done was warn me that was going to happen." "Sorry." Said Kato, who wasn't the least bit repentant. "But you were the one who made me do it." "I suppose I did," Said Midnight. "But tell me, how exactly are you planning on making it up to me?" Losing himself in her eyes, Kato shivered and said. "I think I might know a way." It was strange, the half of him that was human was happy just to be touched, to be held by a woman as beautiful as Midnight was. But the part of him that was all animal wanted something more, something that only she could give. And now, this close to the object of its desires, that side of him could no longer be denied. "Don't fight it." Said Midnight, watching as his inner struggle started to play out on his face. "Never fight it." Reaching out to soothe the savage beast that sought to overwhelm him she stroked his face with gentle hands. "If there is a part of you that wants to respond the same way that an animal would, then accept it as a part of your self and go forwards." Positioning herself so that she was on her hands and knees in front of him, she stretched herself out on the bed. "And no matter what happens, just trust in me and remember that I'll be fine." Lifting her tail as she made herself more comfortable, Midnight looked over her shoulder and said. "I have done this before you know." Nodding as he started to close his eyes, Kato sought out the still places hidden inside his heart. Filled with all the familiar feelings that he had learned to associate with the animal side of himself, the need to run, to hunt, to find a mate, and bathe together in the warmth of the sun, it was the world that he saw it whenever he looked inside himself, a vast forest that went on forever; it was the land where the white tiger roamed. Everything about it had a purpose and meaning that he had yet to understand, but it was not a world without dangers of its own. There were nameless, faceless things that hunted in that place. Hiding themselves in the deeper shadows of his mind, they bided their time, always waiting for him to stumble from the light of day, and lose himself in the darkness of the night. And that darkness was exactly where he had to go. Midnight, there was no longer anything to obstruct her scent. So he had to trust her, trust himself. Trust, Thought Kato as he relinquished control of everything he had ever known, and let the beast rise up from somewhere deep within his soul. At times it is such a simple word, but it is so very difficult to put into practice. It was a sensation not unlike submerging himself into deep water. As the animal within rose to the surface, the part of him that was human sank deeper into the darkness. And it was so very frightened, frightened of becoming lost, frightened of being forgotten, that it fought with everything it had to retain some semblance of control. Too late to resist, he had already begun relying on his sense of smell more then anything else, and through it, he could sense Midnight's existence on the edges of his awareness as something dark, something feminine. It called to the animal within him, inviting it to come out and play, and allow itself to be acknowledged. Suddenly it felt strange that he had ever wanted to fight at all. The thought, You see, you don't need to fear, because you aren't alone. Was like a hand reaching out to keep him from drowning. When he opened his eyes again Kato saw the world the same way that a tiger would. To call it a rush was to lessen all that it was. It was like ice, and fire, and rage, and all of it was coursing through his body like the echoes of some long forgotten song. The beast was undeniably powerful. The strength it offered him intoxicating. And being human had nothing to do with the way he felt, or what he wanted to do. In his mind he had already begun stalking her, waiting to see what she did next. Midnight, she was such a magnificent creature. Though a bit smaller then he would have liked, she was nonetheless in fine physical condition. And the way that she had presented herself to him, it was the perfect offering to a newly awakened king like himself. A king am I? Thought Kato as the shadows of another life drifted through his mind. Yes, I suppose that in some ways I am. I bear the character of a king on my brow, and tiger's are the lords of the west after all. Feeling the first stirrings of a nameless fear awaken inside her, Midnight shivered as she felt Kato's hunger begin to roll across her like a wave. He had denied his other self for so long, that it was a wonder he was able to even restrain it at all. But it was strange, even his scent had begun to change. Where once it had been kind and gentle, now it was something deeper, something more primal. Looking over her shoulder, Midnight found that Kato was holding himself still. A feral look in his too blue eyes he seemed to be debating between whether he wanted to eat her or mate with her. Still, the fact that he was even capable of making such a choice meant that he had begun to at least make some progress. Without any warning whatsoever Kato was suddenly closing the distance between them. His slow easy stride, filled with absolute assurance as he lowered himself to better breath in her scent, spoke volumes about his state of mind. Kato had regressed to the point of origin. The moment when he had last allowed himself to act in a manner befitting his nature. Feeling the heat of his breath begin to travel across her body, Midnight half-expected him to succumb any second, to give himself completely to the animal inside, and let nature follow its course. She was prepared for it, a part of her even wanted it. But what he did next surprised her even more. Nudging her with his forehead, Kato rolled her over onto her back and began bathing her breasts with his tongue. Mine. The action along with the thought rang out in his mind. All of this, all mine. Mewling in delight as Kato nuzzled her chest affectionately, Midnight knew that he had made his choice. And now that he was finally in the proper state of mind, it was up to her to teach him how to take possession of his wild instincts. Something that she would do as soon as he was through licking her. Lying back as she let it happen, Midnight found that she just couldn't help herself. It had been so long since she had last lain with a fellow feline, that she had forgotten how good it could feel to be groomed by a male of the core line, especially by one that was as powerful and attractive as Kato was. Basking in the sensation of his tongue traveling across her body, along with the feelings of warmth and contentment that it awoke in her, Midnight felt herself reaching out just to take hold of his head in her hands. Rubbing him behind the ears, feeling him begin to purr as she reciprocated his affections, Midnight knew that in order for them to continue, Kato needed help in restoring his human sensibilities. But there was so much of him to hold on to, so much of him just to touch, that she began to wonder if even she would be enough to teach him all that he needed to know. In fact, she was even starting to suspect that it was going to take at least several weeks before he had managed to even master the basics. "You should have learned all of this so long ago," Said Midnight, while at the same time wondering what twist of fate it was that had left him bereft of the familial influence that would have taught him all he needed to know. "As it is, you can barely reach the level of a kitten." Sensing that she was running out of time, that even now, Kato's human side was slowly disappearing beneath the weight of unfamiliar instincts, Midnight forced her fingers deep into the tight confines of her own body. Even knowing that such an act would only be the beginning of something greater, Midnight couldn't help but enjoy the nameless thrill that stroking herself while Kato looked on awoke in her. Watching as he started tasting her scent on the air, Midnight waved her newly anointed fingers in front of his face. The effect was immediate. Completely entranced by her scent, he began following her fingers with a will that was no longer his own. Nodding knowingly, she traced a line through her fur and watched as the spark of reason returned to his eyes as she guided him towards her aching sex. His open mouth moving over the lips of Midnight's deliciously wet pussy, Kato blinked as he felt himself hesitate. Midnight had claws of her own, and even though he knew that his thick fur would protect him, it was still better to ask for permission, then to give her a reason to use them. "Midnight," Said Kato as he realized that the thought had been a mixture of human and animal, reason and instinct. "Just now I wanted to taste you, but at the same time, I didn't want to be clawed by you. Is that normal?" "Perfectly," She said as she hugged him. Happy just to have him back she added. "But you aren't ready to take that step just yet. After all, the essence of a woman is an acquired taste." A feral look on his face, Kato began reaching for her legs. "Then let me acquire it." It was strange, even though he knew he hadn't been given permission, the part of him that was human didn't want to be denied anything. Midnight sighed, she had planned on teaching Kato how to enjoy every intimate act, to explore every physical sensation, and experience his instincts to their fullest potential, but it seemed that he was still much too eager, too unfocused to sense the subtleties needed to satisfy a woman. "Not just yet." Bringing his hands to her breasts she said. "Let me show you how to do other things first."
