With spring turning to autumn in the rest of Ippon, Rakari was already  \nheading toward winter. What made the air colder were the constant biting winds that tugged  \nand tore at the clothing of travelers. Just outside the port city of Gomoran, one such traveler  \nwalked perpendicular to the wind, having to hold his hat on his head and keep the fur over  \ncloak on his shoulders pulled tight. The steps leading up to the great Fuzhun citadel were  \nlong and immense, carved into the mountain just like the citadel itself. The traveler had been  \nclimbing for nearly two hours, and his legs were aching.  \n  \n\"HALT!\" the guards commanded. The traveler looked up from under his hat. He  \nwas still twenty steps from the guards, two massive Kibajin males, their thick fur and bulk  \nkeeping them steady against the screaming winds. One shouted down. \"The Citadel is  \nclosed to all outsiders! Return from whence you came!\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; The traveler sighed and stepped up, shouting back, \"I bring word from the south! A  \nmessage for Lord Garasu!\"  \n  \n\"Then give your message and be gone!\"  \n  \n\"The message is not for you!\" The traveler shouted and kept climbing slowly.  \n  \nThe guards readied their spears and shouted in unison, \"Stop right there!! One  \nmore step and your die!\"  \n  \nThe traveler stepped up two steps, right into the range of their spears, and indeed  \nthey thrust at him. At that same moment the wind blasted across the mountain and took the  \ntraveler's hat off his head, a flash of steel and a clash lost in the scream of the wind, the two  \nguards were shocked as the traveler had sliced their spearheads off, his massive blade held  \ntight in his hand, yellow eyes smirking from under frosted, red-scaled eye ridges, \"I am  \nRihatsu Kajikuro, Brother of Aiko Garasu, and Lord of Eizu. You �will- let me pass.\"  \n  \nThe guards blinked...  \n  \n  \n  \n\"Aritseru Kajikuro is lord of Eizu, boy!\" Tenma Garasu growled, rubbing his long  \nwhiskers. He was an old wolf, easily in his sixties, but by no means was he elderly. Still clad  \nin his battle armor as he always was when he had an audience, the old wolf was glaring  \ndown from his seat at Rihatsu, who had taken the time to swap his traveling clothes for a  \nmore appropriate outfit, the formal colors and pattern of Eizu, in fact, he wore the same top  \nthat his father had worn the night Eizu fell. He stared back at the Lord of Fuzhun, but without  \nanger or malice.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"Aritseru Kajikuro is dead. The Gasaran army brought ruin to Eizu and he was  \ninjured and poisoned. The poison took him, and now as his only living son, I am the Lord of  \nEizu.\" He hefted the Itsuka Blade and showed it to Lord Garasu.  \n  \nThe old wolf's left eye widened as he growled a little, \"the Gasaran are scattered.  \nThey have no army.\"  \n  \n\"With your pardon, Lord, The distance of your Citadel would seem to isolate you  \nfrom the rest of Ippon. The fragments of the Gasaran forces have been united somehow. And  \neven now they begin their assault on all of Ippon. I have come this far to ask that you bring  \nthe might of your forces against these foul villains.\" Rihatsu bowed his head, as Shuji had  \nsuggested. The old wolf huffed and sighed.  \n  \n\"Boy... no... Rihatsu-san. Ippon is not my concern. These Gasaran will beak on  \nthis mountain like waves on the shore. Go home and tend to your own people. Mine are safe,  \nand I will keep them as such by leaving these rats to their own doom.\"  \n  \nThat was not what Shuji had said to expect, and for a moment, Rihatsu was  \ncrestfallen, but then his dismay turned to rage at the old wolf's disdain for the country's  \nfate. \"Lord Garasu... I had been informed that you were a wise and valorous spirit; A Man  \namong men. I find now that I have been misled. All I see before me is an elderly man afraid to  \nlend his waning strength to those who need his experience. It shames me to think that a  \nman like you claims my sister as your wife.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"Mind your tongue!\" the old wolf stamped and roared, \"you come to my halls and  \nseek my aid, and then insult me?! Even your father was not such a fool!\"  \n  \nRihatsu stood and matched the old wolf's fury, \"you're right! He was more the fool  \nfor allowing his daughter to marry an unworthy coward like you!\"  \n  \nThe old wolf was on his feet, grabbing his sword and stepping forward, the blade  \ncoming out and lashing right for Rihatsu's neck, \"I'll have your loudmouthed head as a trophy!\"  \n  \nA clash echoed through the hall as Rihatsu blocked efficiently, pulling the Itsuka  \nblade from its sheath halfway to interrupt the strike. His other hand latched onto the wolf's  \nwrist and he stared at him. \"That is the fury I need to avenge my father. That is the strength I  \nwould ask you to lend, so that your wife may know that her father has not died without  \nretribution. That is the reason I have approached you... so that your children, my children,  \nand everyone's children can live without fear of these vile rats.\"  \n  \nTenma Garasu growled, but the young man's grip was firm, and the block had  \nbeen excellent, \"who taught you the way of the sword?\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; Rihatsu nodded, \"I have learned from all of my opponents... but most recently I  \nhave learned much from Shuji Yarimoto.\"  \n  \nThe wolf's growl broke into a laugh as he eased off and pulled back, laughing  \nuproariously, \"Ha! I should have expected that young fool to send another young fool to me.  \nFine. In four days, Fuzhun marches for war.\"  \n  \nRihastu bowed and smiled, \"thank you, Lord Garasu.\"  \n  \nThe old wolf nodded, \"Make yourself comfortable, Rihatsu-dono. The trip here is  \nfar, and those steps are meant to sap the strength of those who come to this place.\" He  \ngestured to the doors, and two maids waited to lead Rihatsu to the guest rooms. The young  \njirajin eyes the woman and smiled, bowing to the lord and walking after the women, his tail  \nswaying happily.  \n  \n  \n  \nRihatsu leaned back against the warm stone of the bath, sighing. He'd spent  \nseveral hours enduring a rigorous massage by the widest old Kibajin woman he'd ever seen.  \nShe wasn't so fat as to be immobile, but she walked with a significant waddle, but her  \npersonality was jovial and smiling, even though she was blind. Oh how she'd made his  \nmuscles scream in agony and then pleasure as she pounded and rubbed his body sore and  \nthen numb. The bath's heat was soothing to his loosened muscles, though he wished greatly  \nthat he'd had one of those maids to bathe with.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"I heard from one of the maids,\" a woman's voice spoke softly, making him  \njump, \"that the Lord of Eizu was here.\"  \n  \nRihatsu spun his head almost completely around, looking for the source... and he  \nfound it. Walking into the bath from the washing area was the most stunning woman he'd  \never seen. White fur with deep red accents on her cheeks, ear tips, feet and tail. Easily as  \ntall as Shidomori-sama, but the softness and fluff of her fur gave her a much more ethereal  \nquality, as if she wasn't really there. Her tail seemed overly long, and her golden eyes smiled  \nat the bright red young man.  \n  \n\"Ah... y-yesss...\" Rihatsu slurred, forgetting to not let his eyes wander over her  \nform as she walked into the water. Ample breasts and shapely hips gave her a bit more �real'  \nto her qualities, but she still seemed to be some kind of a ghost, in the way she moved  \nwithout effort or pause, floating, even as she slowly sat into the bath.  \n  \nShe giggled, a light musical laugh as she noticed the young many eyeing  \nher, \"you're just like him. He never could keep his eyes off me.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"Rehhh?\" Rihatsu blinked and snapped his eyes back up to her smiling face. Her  \neyes met his and he blinked... he knew those eyes.  \n  \n\"Father,\" she smiled and looked at the boy, much more discreet in her giving him  \nthe once-over, \"was always watching me when I was in the room... his tail would wag so hard  \nsometimes.\"  \n  \nHe blinked again and then it clicked. \"You are... Aiko?\"  \n  \nShe nodded and smiled, \"I never thought I had a brother... but seeing you, I'm  \nglad I did.\"  \n  \nHe felt a surge of pride at the compliment and smiled inadvertently, \"Ah... It's nice  \nto... meet you.... Too.\"  \n  \nShe giggled again, the sound sending a thrill up the boy's spine, \"Though you  \ncertainly don't have Father's confidence...\"  \n  \nHe lowered his head in shame.  \n  \n\"Oh... oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it as an insult!\" she slid over and put her arms  \naround his shoulders, nudging his head up, \"I should have said �arrogance'... Father always  \nwas the one to flaunt what he had... even if sometimes it wasn't what people wanted to see.\"  \nShe giggled and nodded; \"you have his color...\" she smiled, tracing her finger over his red  \nscales.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"Ah... A-Aiko-s-san?\"  \n  \n\"Shhh... you can call me �sister'... it's all right.\" She murred and smiled.  \n  \nRihatsu shivered again from her touch, \"S-Sister... I... uhhh... you're...\"  \n  \nShe smiled and watched him, \"Hmm?\"  \n  \nHe nodded, \"are you sure... you should be this close...?\"  \n  \nShe blinked and laughed, \"Goodness! You �are- so different!\" she laughed more  \nthan a giggle and scooted back, \"all the times Father and I bathed, he'd pull me to him...\"  \n  \nRihatsu's mind went into overdrive as he pictured the beauty before him and what  \nhe imagined his father to look like... something like an older version of himself in his mind.  \nThe father in his mind would pull the woman before him to his side, and then after a moment  \nof cuddling, that same father would soon have the lovely Kibajin woman over the side of the  \nbath, plunging his hips eagerly against her upturned bottom...  \n  \n\"Well, that's something that you �do- have in common with him,\" she giggled and  \nRihatsu blinked, then gasped realizing his manhood had take the distraction of his mental  \nimages to emerge and greet the beautiful sister he now bathed with.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"Ah... I'm s-sorry...\" he backed up, covering himself as he half expected her to  \nhave the same reaction as Shidomori-sama had that last time when he'd surprised her.  \n  \nAiko blinked and tilted her head, \"Hm? It's quite alright. I don't mind at all.\"  \n  \nRihatsu's mind screeched to a halt. She didn't mind his eagerness in front of her?  \nShe didn't mind that thinking of her got him aroused? If that was true, then what else didn't  \nshe mind? He blinked and looked at her, \"Y-you... don't mind?\"  \n  \nShe shrugged, \"Tenma gets like that every time we bathe...\"  \n  \nHe blinked and nodded numbly, trying to refocus on something else.  \n  \n\"So... is it true? Father died?\"  \n  \nHe nodded and that subject got his mind off his throbbing erection, \"Ah... yes...  \nwhen Eizu fell to the enemy...\"  \n  \n\"I see,\" she said plainly, a slight look of quiet satisfaction on her face, \"I can't say  \nI'm sad....\"  \n  \n\"Even though he was our father?\"  \n  \n\"Did you know him?\" she asked.  \n  \nRihatsu shook his head, \"No... I was taken from home by my mother's maid. I've  \nnever actually been to Eizu.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; Aiko nodded, \"Father was a great leader... but to be a woman in his house was  \nas pleasant as it was intolerable.\"  \n  \nRihatsu blinked.  \n  \n\"Do you know why I'm married to Tenma?\" She looked at him and the blank stare  \nanswered her question before he could speak, \"It's not for love... Or even for alliances...  \nTenma was the only man who would marry a woman who had known another man.\"  \n  \nAgain Rihatsu blinked cluelessly.  \n  \nAiko sighed, \"When I was your age... actually, a little younger. Father had me  \nbrought to his room one night... and he explained what a woman's place was in the house of  \npowerful men.\" She scoffed a little and shook her head, \"he said that: �a woman who belongs  \nto a powerful man is the sole source of his happiness. And powerful men are happy with their  \nwomen, and the sons they bear him.' After he said that, he claimed me as he did my  \nmother, and it was not until dawn that he was sated enough to sleep.\"  \n  \nRihatsu's mind and thoughts shifted into a direction that brought his erection back  \nto full strength.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; Aiko sighed and continued, \"As virile as he was, Father had forgotten I was a bit  \ntoo young for bearing children. So after a year, he offered my hand to the local lords... none  \nof them wanted me, as he'd already attempted to sire a child from me. Tenma was visiting,  \nand he was offended that he had not been given the chance to have my hand... so he forced  \nFather to let him marry me. And now here I am.\"  \n  \nRihatsu nodded, listening, but still throbbing under the water.  \n  \n\"Tenma apparently thought that his lack of a son was his wife's fault. All four of  \nhis former wives carried the blame for not bearing him even a daughter. Even now he loses  \ninterest in me after these six years... but he is a fool who cannot see that the blame of his  \nchildlessness falls on his own hips.\"  \n  \nRihatsu peered, \"so... he cannot?\"  \n  \nShe nodded and shrugged, \"not for more than a few minutes... and even then,  \nthere is nothing behind his release.\"  \n  \nRihatsu shook his head and sighed.  \n  \nAiko sighed too, \"And none of the guards or others here dare even think of  \ntouching me... even though I would love nothing more than a younger man to give me what  \nTenma can't.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; Rihatsu nodded a bit, his erection surging mightily as he heard those words.  \n  \n\"Well I should be getting back,\" she smiled and nodded, \"I hope to see you again  \nbefore you leave, little brother.\"  \n  \nRihatsu didn't nod, he just watched her as she stood and turned, and as she  \nleaned forward to step up out of the bath, he saw her tail swish upward, and the deep pink of  \nher pouting sex graced his vision for a split second. All the fear, all the reprimands, all the  \ndisappointed faces that had been keeping him in check were forgotten in that instant. He  \nstood and stepped over, making Aiko blink and pause just long enough for him to get his  \narms around her waist, one hand on her hip and the other cupping a breast. She gasped and  \nblushed, wobbling as she readjusted her footing.  \n  \n\"R-Rihatsu??\" she blushed and looked back, but he only gave her a nip on the  \nneck as his hand on her breast squeezed. A light moan left her lips as she squirmed a little  \nand then gasped as his other hand slid inward to cup her mons, a single scaled finger  \nrubbing against her bath-wet folds.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; He responded to her question with a playful growl, rubbing at her sex more as she  \nadjusted his own feet, arching his hips up as the tip of his throbbing member touched her  \nfolds along with his fingers. Between the moisture of the bath, and her own growing  \nexcitement, he found her folds wet and warm, and he gave a lunge of his hips, pushing  \nhimself upward as his tip found her entry easily enough, sliding up into her slightly and  \nmaking her toes curl as she moaned out.  \n  \n\"Ohhh... brother...\" a soft moan followed again as Rihatsu pushed again, feeding  \nmore of his cock into his sibling's snatch. She teetered, and fell forward, but easily caught  \nherself on the edge off the tub, now bent at eh waist and at a much easier-to-reach angle for  \nRihatsu. He needed no prompting, and with a gentle but firm grip on her hips, he pushed  \nforward and sank in to the hilt. Groaning at the quivering heat of the cunny wrapped around  \nhis shaft. Nothing as tight as Usuyami's sex, likely from the repeated matings from her  \nhusband, but the cunny of his kibajin sister was pleasant in a whole different way. He  \npumped at her upturned rear eagerly, each push making her moan in delight as he stuffed his  \nheated, throbbing manhood into her over and over again.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; Rihatsu groaned as she squeezed his shaft with her body, a naughty squishing  \nsound escaping as his pace increased. Her wet fur was still soft against his scales and he  \nrelished the feel of her body in his hands rubbing her lower back and rump as he continued  \nhis amorous assault. Instead of his usual fare of working himself into a frenzy of lust right off  \nthe bat, he took his time, determined to give his sister the pleasures that such a wonderful  \nbeauty was worthy of. He thrust himself in deep, and then pulled back only to thrust half as  \ndeep twice. A grip at her hip accompanied two full, deep thrusts that made her gasp, and  \nthen three half-thrusts were accented by a hand grasping her swaying breast as her younger  \nsibling leaned over her and nipped at her neck.  \n  \n\"Ahh... Rihatsuuuu... Gods...\" she cooed and gripped the rim of the bath, rocking  \nher hips back against her brother's as eh plowed her under-pleasured pussy. The changing  \ndepth and frequency of his strokes kept her guessing as to what was coming at her next,  \nand the near-constant smack of scaled hips against wet-furred buttocks seemed to echo in  \nher ears as she panted and let her tongue loll out of her mouth in delight.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; Again he growled, this time from the tightness in his own loins, caused by the  \ntight squeezing of her sex around him. \"Nnnfff... Sister...\" he hissed and picked up the pace,  \nforgetting his careful thrusting in favor of driving, purposeful poundings of his hips against her  \ntoned rear. After a few of those thrusts she clamped around him extra tight and let out a  \nsweet, keening howl as she tossed her head back and came wetly around her brother's  \nthrobbing cock. Rihatsu for his part was not to be outdone. A snarl and a firm bite on the  \nscruff of his sister's neck as he thrust deep into her one last time, holding there as his body  \nclenched and shot a thick load of his seed deep into her passage.  \n  \nAiko murred as she felt him spurt his life-giving essence into her depths, a smile  \non her lips as she relaxed and leaned on the side of the bath, her legs giving out, causing  \nRihatsu's shaft to pop from her well-bred slit, the very last of his orgasm getting shot into the  \nfur between her shoulder blades. Rihatsu gasped and fell back into bath, scooting up to get  \nabove water as he panted and recovered from the incestuous coupling.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"Mmmm... best to... Ah... keep that to yourself... right, dear brother?\" she smiled  \nsleepily and murred, wagging her tail.  \n  \nHe merely nodded and sighed, his erection finally slinking back into his body as  \nhe was spent. It didn't take her much longer to slip out of the tub, wrap herself in her robes  \nand head back to wherever she had come from without another word.  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nFar to the South, a much less passionate encounter was in progress.  \nStanding in the center of the road, four bandits had surrounded the traveler and were jabbing  \nat him with sticks and the back ends of spears. \"This road's ours, wanderer, you want to  \npass you have to pay the toll.\"  \n  \nThe traveler sighed and set his pack down, using his canvas-wrapped walking  \nstick to get back upright, \"I'm just passing through, why not just let me get back on my way,  \nand nobody has to get hurt?\"  \n  \nThe Kyujin bandits all laughed and one of them poked him harder, making the  \nwanderer stager a bit and rub his chest, \"you don't get it, do you? If you don't give us all the  \nmoney you have, we're going to kill you.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"That hurt.\" The traveler sighed, \"How many people have you hurt this way?\"  \n  \nAnother spoke up, \"you idiot, quit fooling around and give us the money! We've  \nkilled plenty of people who wouldn't pay and just TOOK their money.\"  \n  \nThe traveler sighed, \"I see... Well that won't do at all... now it looks like  \nsomeone's going to have to get hurt.\"  \n  \n\"AGH! I've had it! Kill this fool!\" the four charged, and one swung his sword at the  \ntraveler's head, but his target dropped out from under the wide hat, and he missed. There  \nwas a heavy crunch as the jirajin's covered staff slapped into the first one's midsection  \ndoubling him over and picking him clean up off the ground with the force of the impact.  \nAnother spun his spear and stabbed downward, but the traveler evaded, the point of the  \nspear skipping off his hardened shoulder scales as he rammed his palm into the spearman's  \nchest. A lash of his tail struck the third across the face, sending him spinning and screaming  \nas four teeth fell away into the road. A she stood he heard a familiar �click'. The jirajin turned  \nslowly and glared at the fourth, who held a gun in his hand, the hammer cocked and ready.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"I'll kill you!\" he roared, jabbing the just at the wandering jirajin that has just  \nflattened his friends.  \n  \n\"Kill me? I don't think so.\" Before the Kyujin knew what had happened the gun  \nwas flying into the bushes and his hand was broken, the wanderer spinning his covered staff  \nand standing again. \"Take your companions and go. And if there is ever rumor of you four  \nattacking �anyone-... I will bring the fullest force of pain upon your heads that I cam gather.\"  \nHe leaned forward and growled, \"And there are many samurai who listen to me.\"  \n  \nThe Kyujin quailed and kicked his downed, and recovering, accomplices. Once on  \ntheir feet they all staggered and ran away. The wanderer sighed and picked up his hat,  \ndusting it off as he gathered his bag. \"At least I'll be there tomorrow.\" He kept walking, the  \nroad leading through the light forest toward the city of Kyudo, the center of the Masari clan's  \nterritory.  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n\n","series":{"name":"Tales of Ippon","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/57953-chapter-eleven-betrayal.json","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/92604-chapter-thirteen-discovery.json"}}
