Wind-whipped, white-tipped waves battered against the oaken hull of the  \nship, the hollow craft groaning with the strain of staying afloat amidst the storm. The sails  \nlong shredded to useless wisps of canvas as the ferocious storm chewed at the vessel. The  \nentire craft was empty, save for a single sailor. Huddled under a thick sealskin coat, oiled  \nand sealed against eh rain, burning crimson hair flying with the appearance as if the sailor's  \nhead was aflame. Blistered, bleeding hand strained to hold the ships wheel steady as the sea  \nchurned violently.  \n  \n\"You'll not take me yet, damn you!\" the captain roared against the storm, her  \nthroat hoarse from yelling orders at her vanished crew. Every last one of them had been  \ntaken by the typhoon, washed over the gunnels and carried out to the abyss by black waves  \nof roiling death. As she growled against the storm, roaring her defiance at the elements that  \nchallenged her life, a blast of lightning split the sky, obliterating the aft mast and bringing a  \nmess of the rigging crashing down to the quarterdeck, forcing her to dive away from the  \nwheel to avoid being crushed. The impact sent her off balance as a wave punched the stern  \nof the ship, sending her careening headfirst into the gunwale, knocking her out before she  \ncould even make sense of what had happened.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;  \n  \n  \n  \nHow much time had passed? She didn't know. But she was warm, dry, and alive.  \nBlinking as bright sunlight filtered through a small window onto her face, she sat up, wrapped  \nin fine silken sheets, and dressed in a wisp of gossamer robe. She blushed and covered  \nherself, thought the room was empty. Gathering her wits she surveyed the room. Dark-  \nstained, polished redwood flooring showed not an ounce of dirt or mud on it, and the walls  \nwere fine plaster, painted an off-white, without details or embellishment. Two of the walls,  \nopposing each other seemed to be made of a paper-covered lattice, sectioned and set into  \ngaps so that the sections could slide along the 'track'. Footsteps caught her attention and she  \nturned quickly as the wall to her left slid open, and a small wolfess shuffled her way in,  \ncarrying a small tray of food. She blinked at the new arrival and eyes the tray hungrily, as  \nthe voyage at sea hadn't left much time for eating during the storm. The wolfess smiled and  \nset the tray down, bowing her head and shuffling back to the door. The door came open and  \na younger male came in. he was reptilian, with brilliant red scales and gold eyes. He wore a  \nrobe similar to the wolfess and looked at her, speaking as if confused, \"Shidomori-sama ja  \nnai! Dare desu?!\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; The wolfess ducked her head and whined, \"Demo, Ano Kaou.\"  \n  \nThe Male frowned and eyed her again, her shock and confusion at the strange  \nlanguage apparent. He sighed, \"Wakateru... Toriaisugu, tabesa... soushite, shabete ippongo.  \nOre te ga...\" he trailed off turning away and speaking softly.  \n  \nShe looked to the tray and examined it. A bowl of steamed white grains, and a  \ncharred fish on a flat plate. She licked her lips and looked to the wolfess with a smile, \"Thank  \nye for this, I'm right starved.\" She took up the fish and practically sucked the meat off the  \nbones, making the wolfess wrinkle her nose at the eating habits.  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n\"You did WHAT?!\" Aoi's shock and fury caused her friend and Lord to step back in  \nfright.  \n  \n\"W-well, I didn't really do anything,\" Usuyami stammered, blushing under her  \nscales.  \n  \n\"You could have stopped him!\" The Kyujin paced angrily, wringing her hands and  \nbarely containing the snarl on her lips.  \n  \nUsuyami perked and eye ridge at that and smirked slightly, \"And how would I  \nhave done that?\"  \n  \n\"I don't know! You could have pushed him off you?! You ARE stronger,\" Aoi  \nwheeled to glare at Usuyami, who was suddenly right in front of her, smiling softly.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"Aoi-chan,\" she purred, sliding her arm around her friend's waist, \"Why are you  \nso upset?\"  \n  \nAoi frowned and stepped back, but her legs caught before she could lift them, a  \nscaled tail curled about them gently, keeping her close to Usuyami.  \n  \n\"Are you.... Jealous?\" Usuyami tilted her head, smiling at the woman in her arms.  \n  \nAoi huffed, \"Stop, you're not going to make me any less angry at you for doing  \nthat with a child.\"  \n  \nUsuyami pouted a little, \"You know... we were his age when we first started  \nlearning about things like that.\"  \n  \nAoi was about to shout at her friend, but her words caught as she found that she  \ncouldn't argue the fact stated to her. It was shortly after she'd been assigned to serve  \nUsuyami as her maid by the Lord Hakkichi that the two girls had been a bit more than  \nslightly curious about their differences. Curious enough to spend several nights exploring  \neach other to no small end.  \n  \nUsuyami smiled and spoke softly, \"you DO remember...\" she smiled and  \npurred, \"Maybe you remember that time when you were coming out of the bath?\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; Aoi blushed more and retorted, \"That was- !\" She was cut off as Usuyami kissed  \nher fiercely, deft fingers unraveling the heavy Obi on the kyujin's waist in a matter of  \nseconds. Before Aoi could fully voice her complaint on the matter, Usuyami had the obi  \nacross the room, and the under sash already untied and falling, \"Sh-Shidomori-san...\"  \n  \nUsuyami frowned a little, \"You're not really going to call me that now, are you?\"  \nshe purred sweetly and slipped her hands under the silk of Aoi's kimono, scritching through  \nthe fur on her sides playfully, making the pale vixen squirm slightly.  \n  \n\"Nnn... I... but you're...\" Aoi stammered, blushing and fidgeting as she was teased  \nand tickled.  \n  \nUsuyami leaned in and dragged her forked tongue along Aoi's neck and  \near, \"Mmm... I'm your Liege Lord? Not right now I'm not...\" she smiled and slid her left hand  \nup, cupping her friend's breast gently, \"Right now... I'm the girl who grew up with you for so  \nmany years.\" She kissed at Aoi's neck and pulled her even closer, the hand on the Kyujin  \nbreast squeezing and caressing lovingly. \"And we both know what you love to call me...\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; Aoi blushes brightly through her fur and nodded softly, whispering faintly; \"Usu-  \nchi...\"  \n  \nUsuyami giggled, rather girlishly, at that and hugged her half-naked Kyujin  \nmaid, \"Remember that time after your bath?\"  \n  \nAoi barely held her smirk in check, \"I remember how mad I was at you the next  \nday.\" She squirmed a little as Usuyami's fingers squeezed her breast slightly.  \n  \n\"Well a day of you being angry is worth it then,\" Usuyami laughed a bit and kisses  \nAoi's lips this time, making the Kyujin tremble and tense. A slow moment passed as the  \nforked tongue teased and slid past Aoi's lips, flicking over the roof of her muzzle as  \nUsuyami's tail tightened about her legs slightly. After the kiss broke, Aoi blushed and panted  \nslightly, and then her lips tightened into a frown.  \n  \n\"There's something not quite right about this,\" She narrowed her eyes on  \nUsuyami.  \n  \nUsuyami blinked, \"you're not supposed to be angry with me until tomorrow...\"  \n  \nAoi laughed and shook her head, \"I'm not angry... but I will be if you stop now.\"  \n  \nUsuyami laughed too and nodded, \"I have no intention of stopping... but I think  \nwe'll be needing a futon, yes?\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; Aoi sighed and nodded, \"Well, YOU can get the futon then, and I'll tell Tani and  \nKima that we're not to be disturbed.\"  \n  \nUsuyami laughed and nodded, \"Alright, but close your kimono first. I don't' want  \nthose girls getting any ideas about you.\"  \n  \nAoi shrugged and pulled her sash closed, stepping out of the inner room for a  \nmoment.  \n  \nUsuyami quickly whipped the closet open and dragged out the largest Futon she  \ncould find, pulling the silk coverlet out as well. With a push of her arm, she had both laid flat  \nin a matter of seconds. She looked down and pulled her kimono open, leaving the sash at  \nher waist loosely tied. Satisfied with the result, she lay herself on the futon, kimono riding up  \nher legs, with the coverlet pulled just barely over her, leaving little to the imagination.  \n  \nAoi stepped back in and looked down, seeing Usuyami laid out like an overeager  \ncourtesan, she giggled and sighed, \"And I'd thought Lord Hakkichi trained you in the arts of  \nsubtlety.\"  \n  \nUsuyami purred, \"Have I ever been subtle in my feelings for you?\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; Aoi rolled her eyes, \"no... thought you have been negligent.\"  \n  \nUsuyami gasped and pressed her fingers to her chest in mock offense, \"Me?  \nNegligent? Well if that is the case, I suppose you'll have to come here so that I can make up  \nfor my failings.\"  \n  \nAoi smiled and sighed sliding down to the futon and looking up at her friend, lord,  \nand lover, \"you haven't really been negligent... There have been a lot of other things that  \nhave gotten in the way...\"  \n  \n\"Shh,\" Usuyami put a finger to Aoi's lips gently, \"no talk of that. Right now, it's it  \nonly you and I. the world does not exist.\"  \n  \nAoi's eyes turned sad and she rolled away, laying on her side, facing the  \nwall, \"if... if only that were always true...\"  \n  \nUsuyami blinked and draped her arm caringly over the vixen's waist, \"Aoi-chan?\"  \n  \nAoi sighed and continued, \"... there's always ore shipments, the week's financial  \nreports, some traveling lord to entertain, requests from other lords for special swords...\"  \n  \nUsuyami silenced Aoi with a kiss to the neck as she untied the vixen's sash  \nagain, \"And never enough time in the day to show how much you mean to me.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; Aoi blushed and murred, her tail sliding along those shapely legs behind her as  \nUsuyami continued, \"You, who have always been there to help me in my troubles, who  \nmakes me smile more than any other. The one person I would surrender my life to defend...  \nMy friend, confidant, and first love. My Aoi.\"  \n  \nThe world was silent for a breath before Aoi rolled back over and clung to  \nUsuyami's chest, sobbing and sniffling happily, \"Th-that's... that was the first time... you called  \nme 'Aoi'...\"  \n  \nUsuyami smiled and lay back, gently cuddling her companion, \"should I have  \ncalled you anything else? We're not children anymore... there' no need to explore now. We  \nknow each other as we know ourselves, yes?\"  \n  \nAoi blushed and nuzzled at Usuyami's soft neck scales.  \n  \n\"Like...this spot on your back,\" Usuyami slid her fingers down and dragged them  \nup the small of Aoi's back, just near her spine.  \n  \nAoi's eyes went wide and she gave a moaned gasp, \"Ahh... n-not there!\"  \n  \nUsuyami giggled and teased the line along Aoi's lower spine more, \"... and how it  \ndrives you wild.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; Aoi whimpered and squirmed against Usuyami, \"Ahhnn... Usu-chiiiii...\"  \n  \nUsuyami smiled and flicked her tongue over Aoi's neck, one pair of fingers  \nkeeping the attention on that place on Aoi's spine, as her other hand caressed lower, cupping  \nthe back of Aoi's thigh and pulling her leg upward slightly as the Kyujin murred and moaned  \nin delight. Usuyami gave a little reptilian chirp and slid down a little, wrapping her lips over  \nsections of Aoi's furred skin as she kissed her way over her lover's collarbones, then down  \nthe middle of her chest pausing to stray to the side to give the squirming vixen's breasts the  \nattention they so richly deserved.  \n  \n\"Ahh, It's been.... So long,\" Aoi sniffled as she clung to Usuyami's hair a little,  \nhugging her head as her squirming brought her onto her back, with Usuyami laying atop her.  \n  \nThat made the suckling jirajin stop, \"Aoi... don't tell me you've been neglecting  \nyourself all this time?\"  \n  \nAoi blushed and nodded timidly, \"I couldn't... with anyone else.\"  \n  \nUsuyami took her turn to get a little teary-eyed and she smiled, \"I see... well  \nthen... that settles things.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; Aoi blinked, \"Eh?\"  \n  \n\"From now on, my bed is yours,\" She smiled and flicked her tongue over a stiff  \nnipple, \"I can't have you not being taken care of...\"  \n  \nAoi frowned a little, \"If that's the only reason...\"  \n  \nUsuyami cut her off, \"There's also the fact that I've wanted to share my bed with  \nyou for a long time... but being in my position, I couldn't because of 'appearances'.\" She  \nsighed and then smiled at Aoi, \"but now, I don't care. Nothing means more to me than you.\"  \n  \nAoi bit her lip and then pulled Usuyami in for a tight hug, making the jirajin give  \nan 'oof' at the suddenness of it, \"usu-chi!!\" she yipped happily and clung to her lover.  \n  \nUsuyami found her snout stuffed in the valley of Aoi's breasts, her nostrils  \nsmothered by the sweet swells, and her jaw clamed shut by the force of the hug. \"Muee...  \nmmm mn't brfff!\"  \n  \nAoi gasped at the mumbled protests into her bosom and blushed as she let  \nUsuyami go, \"Ah, s-sorry.\"  \n  \nUsuyami laughed a little and cricked her neck, \"It's fine... just... let me move my  \nhead next time...\" She grinned, \"then again...\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"Eh? Aoi blinked, but she gave a squeal as Usuyami gingerly squeezed Aoi's  \nbreasts together a bit as she stuffed her snout in between them, licking the furred flesh in  \nthe middle furiously as she chirred and swished her tail happily. \"Ah! Th-that!\"  \n  \nUsuyami smiled and let go slowly, her body slipping farther down, her own  \nbreasts rubbing deliciously along Aoi's belly and hip fur before her hands spread the vixen's  \nknees, giving her the perfect view of her goal.  \n  \n\"Ah, don't stare!\" Aoi protested, squirming a bit.  \n  \n\"She says, as she makes mo effort to cover herself,\" Usuyami snickered and  \nleaned in her tongue fluttering over the snug petals, earning a gasp from the smaller vixen.  \nUsuyami knew Aoi had never had a man between her shapely thighs. And she knew why too.  \nShe smirked and flicked her tongue a bit harder, passing the folds to get a taste of the sweet  \nflesh within, \"Mmm..\"  \n  \n\"Ah... y-you're so mean...\" Aoi whined, hips rolling as she was teased and tongued.  \n  \nUsuyami smiled and breathed lightly over Aoi's sex as she spoke, \"Well, then tell  \nme what you really want...\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; Aoi blushed and stayed silent...  \n  \nUsuyami shrugged and licked her again, this time keeping her lips in contact as  \nher tongue slithered about over the mewling Kyujin's flower, the forked tips finding that  \nsweet little button of skin and lashing lightly against both sides of it at once.  \n  \n\"Ah! I.. I want you too,\" Aoi gasped suddenly, giving the woman between her legs  \ntime to pause.  \n  \n\"Mmm... I thought so... well let's see if this works then,\" Usuyami smiled and  \nturned on her hands, moving her legs up over Aoi's head and putting her knees down just  \nabove the Kyujin's shoulders. Aoi looked up and gasped at the sight of Usuyami's vent  \nbefore her nose, the aroused scent making her fur stand on end as she moaned from  \nanother lick at her sensitive spots. \"Go on...\" Usuyami breathed softly, wiggling her hips  \ninvitingly.  \n  \nAoi blushed and leaned her head up, but just as she reached with her tongue to  \nmake contact, another scent invaded on her delight and a dripping shaft suddenly appeared  \nout of nowhere and speared her lover's sex before she could even get a taste. She snarled  \nand backed her head up, trying to see who it was but her eyes only saw red scales.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"Ahh!! Aoi?! What the?\" Usuyami lifted her head and her eyes went wide in shock  \nas Rihatsu had a happy little grin on his lips as he thrusted away at her hips, driving himself  \ninto her.  \n  \nAoi was livid. With a pull she slid herself out from under Usuyami who at the  \nsame time swung her tail in a wide arc, literally slamming the lecherous boy against the wall,  \na dazed look of shock on his face as both women stood before him, murder in their eyes.  \n  \n\"U-usu-mama?\" he quailed, whimpering and his erection fading instantly.  \n  \nUsuyami hissed, her tail lashing about, scraping the polished floor as it struck  \nseveral times, \"How... DARE.... You...\"  \n  \nThe doors opened, Shuji and Natsumi standing there. Shuji's sword was in his  \nhand and Natsumi was just behind him, looking worried.  \n  \n\"What happened?\" Shuji blinked, seeing the spectacle before him and realizing  \nthere was no real danger.  \n  \n\"This little whelpling interrupted our evening!\" Usuyami hissed angrily, her eyes  \nlocked on Rihatsu's keeping the poor boy rooted to the spot in fear.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; Aoi was beyond words... She shook with fury and right as her control broke, she  \nleapt at Rihatsu with a roar of rage, tears from her eyes flying as Usuyami grabbed her. \"No!  \nLet go! I'll rip it off! He's ruined Everything!!! AGAIN!\" she struggled for a bit, but when  \nUsuyami wasn't letting go, she went limp and just sobbed, the Jirajin letting the distraught  \nvixen down to the floor slowly, kneeling next to her.  \n  \nRihatsu was beside himself, he was scared, confused, and slightly angry all at the  \nsame time, and he had no idea what to do... but his compassion asserted itself and she  \nmanaged to stammer out, \"I'm... I'm sorry... I thought usu-mama wanted..\"  \n  \nUsuyami cut him off with a glare and her nostrils flared dangerously as she hissed  \nwith ice on her words, \"Get out.\"  \n  \n\"But...\"  \n  \n\"GET OUT!\" Usuyami roared, the whole Inn waking up to it. \"Everyone Get out!\"  \n  \nRihatsu made to protest, but Shuji grabbed his shoulder and dragged the stunned  \nboy away, bowing for them both as he closed the door behind him.  \n  \nAoi sobbed without stopping as Usuyami sighed and gently hugged the crying  \nKyujin, \"Shhh... It's okay.... It's okay...\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"No... no it's not.. He did it again... he went and just did it again...\" Aoi sobbed  \ncovering her face to hide her distress.  \n  \nUsuyami sighed and whispered softly, \"And look what happened... I knocked him  \ninto the wall... nobody is going to come between you and I anymore... and if they try... you  \nsaw what will happen.\"  \n  \n\"But...\" Aoi sniffled, her sobs stopping a little.  \n  \n\"No 'but'... I'm going to talk with that little lecher in the morning and he's going to  \nlearn manners,\" She smiled and nuzzled the crying vixen, \"Or I'll castrate him.\"  \n  \nAoi sobbed a little smile and nuzzled back, \"you'd take away all my fun then...\"  \n  \nUsuyami laughed lightly, \"Oh, well then I'll hold him down and let -you-castrate  \nhim.\"  \n  \nAoi giggled and sighed, \"So then...\"  \n  \nUsuyami sighed and nodded, \"I'm pretty sure you don't want to keep going after  \nhe did what he did; and the mood is rather ruined too... let's just sleep for now, and we'll try  \nagain soon.\"  \n  \n\"How soon?\" Aoi nudged insistently.  \n  \nUsuyami laughed and tackled the vixen to the futon lightly, \"As soon as either I  \nget a bath, or we get back to Tetsumo.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; Aoi nodded, \"I think both would be good.\" She smiled and licked Usuyami's lips  \nsnuggling her under the sheets and murring as the pair drifted into sleep.  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n\"That was a pretty stupid thing to do, Rihatsu-dono,\" Shuji frowned.  \n  \nRihatsu, clothed again, sat on his kneed and kept his head down as he was being  \nreprimanded.  \n  \n\"What made you think to even try to do that?\" Shuji perked an eye ridge in  \ncuriosity.  \n  \nRihatsu spoke softly, \"b-because Usu-mama smelled like she wanted to?\"  \n  \nShuji sighed, \"Well, I can agree with that... but she's not yours. You can't just go  \nup to any woman who smells ready and do that.\"  \n  \n\"Why not?\" Rihatsu blinked.  \n  \nShuji was boggled. He blinked his shock at the question away and frowned  \nagain, \"Because it's impolite. Lords like us have to be extremely polite. If we don't behave,  \nthen the people who follow us won't believe in us, and they'll probably have us killed.\"  \n  \nRihatsu processed that, and nodded, \"So... I can't do that with Usu-mama?\"  \n  \nShuji hid his embarrassment well, but some of it still came through, \"ER... not  \nunless she asks you to.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; Rihatsu pouted, \"what about other women?\"  \n  \nShuji groaned and rubbed his forehead, \"They have to ask you too.\"  \n  \nRihatsu tilted his head, \"Can I ask them?\"  \n  \nShuji blinked and shook his head, \"not until you learn the proper way to ask. For  \nnow, you only get to do it if they ask you.\"  \n  \n\"Oh...\" Rihatsu obviously didn't like that idea.  \n  \n\"Go to bed, Rihatsu-dono... We have a long day ahead of us tomorrow,\" Shuji  \nstood and went back to his room. He opened the door and blinked, seeing Natsumi sitting up  \nin the futon, looking at him sternly. He sighed, \"okay, now what did I do to upset you?\"  \n  \n\"You Staring at Usu-sama,\" she groused.  \n  \nShuji blinked and blushed a little, \"It was a little hard not to. That was an odd  \nsituation.\"  \n  \n\"Think you Like Usu-sama more than me,\" she frowned, her long ears flattened  \nagainst her head.  \n  \nShuji laughed at that and stepped over to the futon, \"Now that's just silly. What  \nmakes you think that?\"  \n  \n\"Not stare at me that way,\" She turned from him angrily.  \n  \nShuji smiled. At least this was familiar territory. He grabbed the smaller lapine  \nand pulled her close, ignoring her squirming and pushes as he growled at her softly, \"maybe  \nnot, but I stare at you in other ways...\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; She shivered at the growl and kept her frown, \"How you stare?\"  \n  \nHe smiled and licked at her neck, \"I stare at you when you're under me... or over  \nme.\"  \n  \nIt took her a minute to process the terms he'd used, but when it clicked, she  \nblushed and went soft in his arms, but she kept her frown as best she could, \"Shuji-sama  \nloves Usu-sama...\"  \n  \n\"You're wrong about that...\" he growled threateningly, but his caress and embrace  \nwas as gentle as ever, \"I Love you.\"  \n  \nShe shivered again and turned, snapping her sharp little teeth at him and pulling  \naway, \"Prove it.\"  \n  \nNever one to back down from a challenge, Shuji snarled with a smile on his lips  \nas he grabbed the bunny's shoulders and pushed her down to the futon. She gasped and  \nstruggled against him, but he trapped her slim wrists in his hands and pulled them up above  \nher head pinning them under one palm while his other hand yanked her sleeping robe open,  \nbaring her supple chest to him, \"then I'll prove it.\" He made love to her long into the night,  \nthe winds swirling about the Inn as the storm drew nearer.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;  \n  \n  \n  \n\n","series":{"name":"Tales of Ippon","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/43807-chapter-eight-surprises.json","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/52660-chapter-ten-mourning.json"}}
