featuring characters from the anime "Sailor Moon"> Chapter 6 - Friendship and More <
After breakfast, Makoto left the palace. Serenity watched her leave. The princess of Jupiter had been uncomfortable throughout the meal. Ami had brought her young man, Ryo, to eat with them, while Rei's voice had rung with excitement as she spoke of the young wizard she had met. Mina, for her part, had left the palace sometime during the night and had not yet returned.
"Problem, my love?" Endymion asked.
Serenity thought for a moment. "Perhaps an opportunity," she said quietly.
"Opportunity?" he asked.
"Yes... If the fates are agreeable," she said. "I think I need to send a message, my dear."
He saw the smile on her face and the gleam in her eye, knowing she was up to something. Together they walked off to send her message.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
A chill filled the mountain air as Makoto jogged along the narrow road, wearing a sleeveless black top and black pants. Ahead, the road took a bend and entered some trees. As she moved under the cover of the trees, two men stepped out in front of her. She stopped, looking back to find three more now behind her.
"Well, what have we here?" one of the men asked, looking her up and down.
"A pretty young thing shouldn't be out alone on an isolated road like this," another said.
"Why not? I certainly don't see anything worth being concerned about," she replied.
Their expressions hardened at the insult.
"Oh, really?!" the second one sputtered. He lunged for her.
Makoto sidestepped easily, and delivered a powerful blow to the back of his neck. The man fell to the ground unconscious. The others rushed her. She dove aside, quickly rolling back to her feet. As the men pursued, she struck the first with a kick, sending him tumbling back into two of the others. She dodged a third blow, then struck hard herself, sending one more adversary to the ground. The two remaining men circled her warily, daggers held at the ready. One jumped forward. As she moved toward him, the other moved as well. At the last moment, she turned and tripped him. As he tumbled forward, she grabbed him and pushed him into the other, bringing a scream from him as his partner's dagger plunged into him. She turned to find another of the bandits was climbing to his feet. As she stepped toward him, she heard something behind her and rolled away, just as a heavy blow struck painfully across her shoulders. She somersaulted clear, and quickly regained her feet. Now facing two of the bandits, she stepped back, waiting for them to make a move. One lunged for her, dagger at the ready. She deftly jumped clear of the blade and caught his arm in an iron grip, twisting it behind him, and hearing him scream in pain as the bone snapped. The last bandit stood there, clearly considering his chances. Uncertainty flickered in his eyes, being met by a hard, unyielding stare from Makoto. Finally, he dropped his dagger and stepped back.
"Wise choice," Makoto said softly. "Remember this the next time you think to accost some apparently defenseless traveler."
She stood there for a moment longer, watching him, then turned and continued on her way. Her shoulders continued to sting from where she had been hit. Once well out of sight of the bandits, she stopped and rubbed at them, producing only minimal improvement. With a sigh, she gave up for the moment and resumed her jog along the road.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Among the trees, and with the soothing rustle of a mountain stream in the background, Makoto lay on the ground, a robe spread out beneath her and her top removed. Her shoulders still hurt, and even with her best efforts to relax her muscles, she could not find a comfortable position.
A gust of wind rustled the leaves of the trees, while birds cried nearby. She dozed, enjoying the relaxing calm of nature around her. Briefly, she thought she sensed movement near her but dismissed the notion, keeping her eyes closed. Fingers drifted across her shoulders, soothing her. Initially thinking she was dreaming, she felt the strong hands massaging her sore muscles in a way only one person had ever been able to do. Her eyes opened and she looked back.
"Shinozaki!" she exclaimed, seeing her lifelong friend kneeling beside her.
"Hi there," he said with a grin. "You sure are rough on yourself. How'd the other guy come out of it?"
She groaned as he dug his fingers into her shoulders. "There were five of them... and only one was still standing."
"I should hope so," he said with a laugh.
"What are you doing here?" she asked. "I thought you were still supposed to be on Jupiter."
"Well, I was," he said. "But I received a message from Princess Serenity, asking me to come here. She thought you could do with some company."
"Oh, really? Well, I never knew she was in to that sort of thing," Makoto said.
"Well, I'm glad she did call me," he said, continuing his ministrations to her sore shoulders. "It looks like you can use some help."
"Ooooh, that feels good," she sighed. "You've always known just how to do that."
"It's a special talent," he said. "Besides, you've been there for me at least as much as I've been there for you, Makoto."
She nodded her head, as his hands pressed into her still protesting muscles.
They had practically grown up together. He was the son of nobles who were very close friends of her parents and were regularly present at the court of Jupiter. A feeling of warmth and happiness spread through her from just knowing he was there to talk to.
A twinge of pain came from one shoulder. "Ow! Not so hard!" she protested.
"Sorry," he said. "Starting to feel better?"
"A little. Thanks very much."
"Not a problem. Besides, I still owe you from the last time," he said.
"I told you not to climb that tree," she reminded him. "But somebody just didn't want to listen."
"I don't know who was madder at me, you or my parents."
"They were," she said. "I've never been able to stay mad at you for any length of time."
"Well, if I had to fall out of a tree on top of somebody, I'm glad it was you," he said.
"I understand what you mean, but it's not something I'd care to repeat, you know."
"Yes," he agreed.
She shifted position and started to roll over. He quickly turned away.
"Oh, come on!" she said. "It's not like either of us hasn't seen the other undressed before."
"True," he conceded. "I, ahm, was just trying to be polite."
"You don't need to be that way with me, Shinozaki," she insisted. "If we were any closer we'd almost be brother and sister."
He hesitated for a moment. "No. I don't think brother and sister."
She looked at him uncertainly, feeling a strange pressure in her chest. "What do you mean?"
"Ah, well..., what I mean..., uh." Finally, he just leaned forward and kissed her, taking her in his arms.
She felt an incredible warmth from his lips that spread through her entire body, threatening to completely sweep her away. Her arms embraced him tightly and her heart beat wildly. His tongue brushed her lip, and she opened her mouth to let it slip inside to dance with her own.
The feel of her lips on his own was purest bliss as he held her tightly in his arms. His heart pounded loudly in his ears, and he knew with absolute certainty that this young woman whom he had grown up with was now the one person he truly loved.
She gasped for breath when they separated. "Wow! Definitely not brother and sister," she exclaimed. "That was incredible!"
As she sat there, she felt her nipples now hard and erect, while a warm wetness was spreading between her legs. At the same time, she noticed his face was flushed, and his manhood now formed a prominent bulge within his pants.
"How long have you felt this way?" she asked.
"Several months," he said. "But you were away so much, and I wanted to be able to tell you in person. You're not upset, are you?"
"Of course not," she insisted. "I'm glad you told me."
He smiled, feeling a tremendous joy within his heart. "Do you feel the same?"
She nodded her head. "Just a few hours ago, I probably would have said no," she admitted. "But now, I'm certain that I do feel the same way, and I just wasn't admitting it to myself."
He embraced her again, and their lips came together. As her tongue probed deep into his mouth, he lowered her down onto her robe, positioning himself above her.
"I love you, Makoto," he whispered.
"I love you," she replied, before they kissed again.
The wind began to pick up and clouds rolled in as the chill in the air grew more pronounced.
"I think we'd better head back down," he said. "Besides, I want to get you into a warm bath."
"Oh, you do?" she asked with a grin.
"For your shoulders," he said.
"Oh, yes. Of course. For my shoulders," she replied, clearly not believing him.
He stood up, then drew her to feet, taking her in his arms and kissing her. Her green eyes sparkled at him happily. Stepping back, she pulled her top on, then slipped the robe over her shoulders. He took her hand as they walked back along the trail.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
At the palace, they closed and locked the door to her chambers. He took her robe from her, then entered the bathroom to run a bath. As the tub filled, he lifted her top, sliding it off. He paused for a moment to admire her full breasts, before leaning forward to kiss one of her nipples.
"Oh, yes," she sighed, feeling waves of pleasure sweeping through her.
As he ran his tongue over one nipple, while stroking the other with his fingers, she slid her hands down along his sides, grasping his shirt and pulling it free from his pants.
He took her nipple in his mouth and suckled it intensely, then took hold of her pants and began sliding them down. She stepped out of her shoes, then out of her pants. He then pulled down her underpants, leaving her completely naked. The sight of her this way made his own longing for her grow ever more intense.
"Very nice," he said with a grin as he stood up.
She smiled in reply, while taking hold of his shirt and pulling it off. Passionate hunger swelled within her as she slid his pants down, and she saw the form of his aroused penis bulging within his shorts. She pulled the shorts down, exposing his swollen manhood.
"Oh, gods," she sighed, running her hands gently over his shaft, and feeling the warmth within her growing still stronger. She leaned closer and kissed his tip.
As she stood back up, he took her hand and led her to the tub. He turned off the water, while she climbed into the spacious tub.
"This feels nice," she said, settling into the warm water.
As he stepped in, he noticed two small handles along the side of the tub. He turned one and the tub began to churn as jets of water activated in the sides and floor of the tub.
"What is that?!" Makoto asked.
"This valve seems to control them," he said. "I can turn them off, if you'd like."
"No. They actually feel rather good," she answered.
As he continued to adjust the first handle, he found he could increase and reduce the force of the jets. The second handle proved to control which jets were operated.
He moved alongside her and resumed gently massaging her shoulders.
"Feeling better?" he asked.
"Oh, yes. Most definitely," she said. "But now I think a different part of me needs your special attention." Her hand grasped his penis and stroked his full length.
He gasped softly, then turned and kissed her deeply. His hand slid down across her abdomen and between her legs as he carefully explored her soft folds. She sighed with pleasure.
They continued to kiss as he investigated her womanhood. She felt his fingers slip through her nether lips and move inside her. He softly stroked the inner portion of her lips, then slipped deeper. As his fingers moved, he found her jewel. She gasped as he brushed across the swollen nub. Immediately, he stopped there, giving it his careful attention.
"Oh, yes!" she cried, as he caressed her there repeatedly, sweeping her higher and higher.
He grasped her breast in his free hand, stroking her nipple with his fingertips, even as he continued to caress this swollen little nub just within her nether lips that was giving her such pleasure. Grinning as her gasps and cries grew more frantic, he kissed her once more.
"Oh, gods! Oh, please!" she gasped, begging for release.
He slid two fingers deep into her channel, bringing a groan from her as her head rolled back. Sliding his fingers back, he stroked her insides, then returned his attention to her jewel.
"Oh, yes! Yes! OH, YES!!!" she cried, soaring to orgasm.
She clung to him, flooded with ecstasy and yearning for still more.
He held her close, feeling his own body hungering for release. Drawing her with him, he moved onto the seat. Not needing any prompting, she spread her legs and positioned herself over him.
With a slight adjustment of position, she felt his manhood touch her nether lips. She kissed him then, with a smile of purest bliss on her face, pushed herself down on his member, gasping with delight as she did so. There was no real pain, as an earlier injury had cost her her hymen. It was the most incredible sensation she had ever experienced, and there was no one else she could imagine doing this with.
He groaned as he felt himself enveloped in her warm, snug embrace, her inner muscles rubbing over the edge of his tip, nearly sending him over the edge right then.
"Oh, yes," he whispered.
His hands slid up across her back while hers rested on his shoulders. They fell into a rapid pace as she pushed herself up and down on his shaft, driving it deep within her. She saw his eyes aglow with love, feeling the same within herself, so happy to be conjoined with him.
Their lips came together and he embraced her tightly, as they both groaned and sighed with delight. As she pushed down on him yet again, he felt her squeezing him with her inner muscles. He thrust up through his hips to meet her, driving himself still deeper into her.
"Oh, gods!" she groaned, feeling him throbbing within her.
Their passion grew in intensity, like the power of a storm, as they moved faster and faster, yearning to satisfy carnal desire and to provide a physical expression of their love. Again and again, they drove together, soaring ever higher.
Water splashed in the tub as they moved together. His hands took hold of her breasts, squeezing them in his fingers. Gasping with pleasure, she gyrated above him, then leaned down and kissed him, plunging her tongue deep into his mouth.
"I love you so much," he whispered.
He pushed up into her with her next thrust, as his member throbbed wildly.
"Oh, yes!... Yes!... Oh, gods!... YES!... YYYYYEEEESSSSS!!" she cried, finally reaching climax.
He groaned wordlessly as he peaked with her, pouring himself into her.
They clung to each other, kissing softly.
"Oh, gods. That was so beautiful," she whispered.
"Just incredible," he sighed.
It was several minutes before she slipped herself off of him and settled into the seat beside him.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
They returned to her bedchamber, each wearing a bathrobe. She took her hair down, brushed her fingers through it, then turned back and kissed him.
"I am soooo happy to have you here, my love," she said.
"And I'm happy to be with you," he said. "I'm so glad to have this opportunity."
He took her in his arms and brought their lips together for a deep, wet kiss. She embraced him as their tongues danced together, and pressed her body against his.
From outside, they heard the soft patter of raindrops on the window, turning to see that dark clouds had rolled in.
"I hope that's not an omen," she said.
Just then, lightning flashed in the distance.
"Well, lightning is your signature, darling, so that has to be a good sign," he replied.
She nodded her head. "It looks like we're going to be staying inside for a while, so we might as well make the most of it," she said with a grin.
"I quite agree," he said.
They kissed deeply once more, enjoying the exquisite happiness of soul-mates come together.< To be continued >
