"How is she?" Asked a concerned Yasaka, with a bandaged Kunou beside her mirroring her emotion.
"I finally got her asleep, and just got off the phone with my dad. That empathy ability combined with whatever filth they spewed really shook her up." I replied with a similar worry in my voice. I was not happy at all, but I was a little better now that Hana was unharmed and asleep.
We were currently in the small on-site hospital in Yasaka's main residence, with Yasaka going over Kunou's injuries and checking over her new blessings. I had done an okay-ish job of patching her up when I broke through the barrier, and some of the actual yokai doctors did a much better job after the battle, but she is still in for a few weeks of recovery.
I was already here to learn more about healing souls, but I bet nobody will stop me from learning more general medicine too. I was quickly learning that more knowledge is never bad.
I always knew that, but there is a difference between knowing something and experiencing it. There is a difference between 'I know a little bit of magical first aid' and 'I am so thankful I was able to stabilize Kunou'. They had totally different weights.
Shaking out of my short reflection, I took some time to look over Kunou. After a few rounds of healing she was looking much better. No particularly egregious wounds, but she did look like a mummy with all those bandages.
I also took note of her newly metallic tails. She was already a very bright blonde so the golden tail blended in, but the silver tail was a very strong contrast.
"So what is the deal with those tails? I heard something about blessings but I don't know the specifics." I asked the duo, changing the subject to something less depressing.
Kunou perked up, excited to brag. "Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi gave me a little something to survive that fight." She gloated while waving those two tails around to show them off to us.
"Why not just smite them directly? This seemed like a pretty direct attack." I asked back, bringing up what had been bothering me. If they knew it was a problem, but just watched while Hana was hurt I might have to fight some gods later.
"Some of those humans had Indra's blessing, which meant Indra's claim. Blessing her to their level was as much as the Shinto could do without turning a mortal skirmish into a divine war." chimed in Yasaka from the side.
It makes sense that she would know more about that considering her position as Amaterasu's priestess, she has to have at least a surface level knowledge of divine politics if she is going to represent them.
"Alright, that's fair. War sucks. I can only imagine divine war is worse. What did the blessings do though? Other than turning her tails shiny." I replied back, once again looking at Kunou who was still happily showing off her new additions.
"My blessing from Amaterasu is just below the one she gave Mama, and I can feel it does a lot. I'm stronger in the sunlight, I have a stronger affinity with anything related to the sun, and I get this beautiful tail!" Kunou shared excitedly, but something about how she explained it felt off.
"She only cares about the gold thing, huh?" I said to Yasaka.
"Oh yeah, totally. She's obsessed." Yasaka replied, holding back a giggle.
Kunou, who was watching this little skit, just pouted at us.
"And Tsukuyomi?" I prodded, but I had a feeling I knew the answer.
"Same thing as Amaterasu but with the moon. The silver is nice, I guess." She sulked slightly. It was really fun to watch her emotions ping-pong around like this.
I leaned over to Yasaka, "She hates it, right?"
"I have never seen a more despised blessing before." Yasaka nodded sagely.
"Hey! Don't put words in my mouth. The power boost is nice, and I probably would not be alive without it. It's just..." She trailed off, trying to find the words.
"Just?" I egged her on.
"Silver is not my color!" She blurted out. "I like gold so much better. It blends in with my blonde so much more naturally, and the silver contrasts so poorly!"
There was a beat of silence after her outburst. Then we all burst out laughing. It took a few moments for us to calm down and be able to talk properly after that.
"Man, that must really suck. Doesn't it, Mama." I said in a heavy teasing tone which caused Kunou to light up in a blush and Yasaka to perk up.
"Oh? What's this?" Yasaka questioned a little too excitedly. Was Yasaka a gossip, or was she just interested in teasing Kunou with me.
Kunou was struggling to respond in a coherent manner so I talked for her.
"When I broke the barrier the first thing Hana said to me was to 'help Mama'." I teased the kitsune who was somehow blushing even more. Yasaka looked like it was the most interesting thing she had ever heard.
"It's not like that." Kunou denied, but you could tell she wasn't actually upset.
"Do explain, daughter."
"After I got those blessings, I could feel a..." Kunou searched for the word that fit best. "Resonance. There was a resonance. I thought Hana was a lotus spirit, why does she have sun and moon parts?" Kunou questioned me, squinting her eyes like it was my fault this all happened.
"I couldn't tell you. The Rainbow Lotus: Sun and Moon series that she was born from has some small sun and moon portions. It's in the name. I know nothing about how spirits are made, and even less about divine blessings, so I couldn't tell you why that happened." I responded with a shrug. It seemed like a lot of things just happened.
"Anyways, I was panicked, Hana was panicked, and the feeling of 'same-ness' just caused it to slip out. She's young, and we've spent a lot of the last week together, don't blame her." Kunou tried to explain, but Yasaka's growing amusement slowly silenced her.
"Heh." Yasaka did a small laugh at Kunou.
"Mamaaaaa." Kunou wined back. There was definitely some sort of wordless communication happening between them, but it flew over my head.
We lapsed into silence again while Yasaka and Kunou were making faces at each other, somehow clearly having a fast paced conversation.
Yasaka was the one to speak first, "Since Kunou is not in any danger and we couldn't find anything wrong with her blessings earlier, It's time for us to head to that meeting and go over the after action reports."
"Me? I'm pretty sure this is all you." I replied confused. This was explicitly her internal politics now, I had no place there.
Yasaka's growing grin did not fill me with confidence.
"You're going to be joining us, half as an aggrieved party, and half as my hired muscle." She explained, but I wasn't entirely convinced.
"Aggrieved party I can understand, but hired muscle?"
"It's not quite what you think. Between you clearing that land curse and that moron screaming about you being a Sage after you shattered the barrier, everyone knows there is a Sage around." She said, wincing a bit while saying that the info is more widespread than either of us wanted.
"That sucks that it leaked, but how does that factor into the upcoming meeting?" I asked back. Politics were the worst, but at least I had the advantage of being a big fist.
"By showing up, you're effectively moral support. I had to clear some traitors who launched a separate attack, so all the clans are on edge. Having you there would make things so much easier." Yasaka nearly pleaded at the end. Grown women should not look so pitiful.
"Fine, I'll go." I said while sighing. I knew she was faking it, but she cheered up way too fast.
"Wonderful!"
[LINE BREAK]
I spent the next week with Hana glued to my side as she refused to let me out of her sight. That meant that we spent lots of time in the library together, as well as short walks outside when she felt up to it.
My Little Flower was learning to read extremely quickly too. For both English and Japanese she was reading at an elementary school level, which was insane for her age.
Sure, she wasn't human, and her language empathy ability was carrying her, but it was still very impressive. I loved the way she lit up whenever I praised her too, which caused her to try even harder.
It was very cute watching her sound out words, and once Kunou was cleared to walk around she spent most of her time with us.
Kunou and Hana were much closer than they were before. Not quite 'surrogate mother' level like her panicked words during the battle, but they were steadily bonding.
When I wasn't going over children's books with Hana I was diving into all the senjutsu knowledge I could find.
All my Magic motes were still working, but it had not been long and they hadn't made much progress.
I was starting with the basics, and comparing them to how I did them from self study. Usually I did things better, but sometimes I found nuggets I could use. The general knowledge of combining Ki and Touki with fighting was way beyond anything I had puzzled out though.
Who knew that millennia of fighting caused fighting methods to be refined.
From small tricks on how to maximize Ki during a fight, to novel methods of circulating to achieve interesting effects. This library was a treasure trove I was determined to take for all its worth.
It was a very peaceful week all things considered, but time marched forwards. The repairs around the dimension were completed and the shock from the attack had worn off.
Life was feeling back to normal and Hana wasn't panicking the moment she could not see me anymore, so it was decided that I would restart my Sage work on the cursed lands.
I started slowly, to make sure Hana didn't relapse if I spent too long away, but eventually I was back to purifying the land to my limit.
Sage and Lifeforce Manipulation were both getting a workout from my constant usage. I could feel them both thriving under the strain I was putting myself under to clear the land curses, and I was all the stronger for it.
The biggest change from the first curse I purified and now was the public.
I was now known as a Sage, and one who was purifying the curses that had haunted their dimension for decades. The curses nobody else was able or willing to deal with.
This made me very popular with the local population. I had vendors giving me free food, people just walking up and thanking me, and I even had one mother ask me to bless her baby. That was awkward, but I did a short senjutsu scan and noticed a small issue which I quickly healed on reflex.
The mother was of course watching me do this, and nearly broke into tears, thanking me for blessing her child with good fortune. All I did was a small healing technique some of the medical yokai showed me during my studies.
The worst one though was last night.
It's been a few months since the attack, and I had purified quite a few locations. I was getting faster and faster at clearing the curses before I reached my limit, which left me a good amount of free time.
I spent most of it with Hana, but I had been on quite a few dates with Kunou too. Things were progressing well with her, and I found out she is a very messy kisser. I'm pretty sure she's holding herself back from straight up licking me half the time, so I haven't brought it up. No need to ruin a good thing.
We were walking back from dinner hand in hand. The onlookers had figured out what was going on, with all the local aunties teasing Kunou constantly and the uncles giving me nods, but they mostly left us alone.
Last night though, one nekomata was feeling bold and walked up to us. I thought she was going to give me the usual "Thanks for clearing the curses, I love Sages" thing that most yokai have going on, but I was dead wrong.
Instead what happened was she walked up to us and held out her hand to give me something. She didn't feel dangerous, so I obliged, thinking it would be a small gift.
What was dumped in my hand were her panties, her address, and the times she would be home. The panties were still warm.
I was shocked. Kunou was murderous. I'm pretty sure I saved her life by rejecting her on the spot.
After that Kunou was acting weird, and kept sending me glances the rest of the night. When she wasn't brooding, she was looking very thoughtful, so I left her alone as we walked back to her house.
[LINE BREAK]
Coming out of meditation, I wondered what Kunou wanted this room for. She had been acting weird since last night's panty disaster, so I didn't think much of her request earlier in the day.
She wanted me to absolutely saturate a room with purified natural energy, though she wouldn't say what it was for.
It was an easy enough request. Just cover the room in energy formations to concentrate the natural energy, and then use my Sage abilities to turn it all into pure natural energy.
I wondered what she wanted all this energy for, as even I was slightly light headed sitting in the room waiting for her. I don't think she could hurt herself, and I'll be here for whatever she wants to do, so it's probably some ancient method they have.
Just as I was going to leave to look for Kunou, she dashed into the room and locked the door behind her.
Odd.
I didn't even get a word in before Kunou was on me, shoving her tongue down my throat. Not an unwelcome development. She tasted like cherries.
After a minute of frantic kissing Kunou finally leaned back, the spit trail adding to her glowing cheeks and glassy eyes.
"Not that I mind, but what's the occasion?" I asked breathlessly. Months of living with these two vixens had keyed me up something fierce. While making out with Kunou was great, it just made me that much hornier too.
Kunou looked at me for a moment, before backing off towards the open area of the room.
"Sit on the bed and don't move. You're getting a show." She said while making eye contact.
I sat my ass on that bed.
It started slowly. Kunou was doing a slow dance to music only she could hear. I was mesmerized. Some twirls and bends that really showed off her assets, tugging at her yukata in ways that maximized her sexual appeal but didn't show anything.
This went on for a few minutes, my eyes never leaving Kunou's body. The way her tails swayed shouldn't be allowed. Slowly, she began to talk during her dance.
"You know, I was so scared during that attack. I really thought I was going to die." She started narrating.
"Hey-" I started but was cut off.
"No, let me speak." I promptly shut my mouth. When a pretty lady bends over for you, you listen.
"I thought I was going to die, and you saved me. I haven't thanked you enough." She said as she walked near me, brushing her tails against me lightly.
"I think you were my first friend too. Sure I played with other kids back then, but there was a gulf none of them crossed. I have made real friends since then, but you were the first."
"My first friend, and then you saved my life like that. Not even because you wanted to, just because you could. Hana was in danger, so you saved us. You haven't even asked for anything either. It's enough to make a lady feel special, you know." She stated as she moved, but something was off.
"Are you ok, you're looking extra red and breathing heavy." I asked in worry. She wasn't moving enough to be this out of breath.
Kunou gave a sultry smile. "Then it's working."
"Huh? What do you mean?" I asked bewildered, but it seemed she had a plan.
"After that hussy last night gave you her panties I talked to Mama and some of the local aunties, and they told me something interesting. See, Wukong won't help with the curses but he does still visit sometimes." She began, and I just listened.
"He has this trick where he purifies a lot of energy, and all the aunties love it. They always come back the next day looking extremely satisfied." She continued, and I could see where this was going. My breathing sped up a little, and her smile grew.
"Concentrated purified natural energy has an interesting effect on yokai. Until properly acclimated, it's like a drug. Just a mystical sugar rush basically. Nothing strong, but if a lonely aunty or a pent up kitsune were to lean into their instincts..." She trailed off with a smirk.
"What happens?" I asked, but I knew where this was going.
Kunou didn't respond. In one swift motion she dropped her whole yukata on the floor, revealing the lingerie underneath.
It was pure black, and had slits that left her nipples and pussy open to the air.
Now, this wasn't the first time I had seen a naked woman. Yasaka had made sure of that. Between her flashing campaign ramping up over the months and her 'accidently' crossing paths at the end of a bath, I was not unfamiliar with the female form.
With Kunou it was different. The air was charged with intent. She was stunning.
She stood there and basked in my vision, my eyes staring at her delicious tits. Not nearly as big as her mother's, but they were perfect for their size.
Shape, size, those slightly puffy nipples that grabbed my attention, the tasteful lingerie that accented them both. I was in heaven.
Eventually my gaze trailed down her toned body to her bottoms which hid basically nothing.
I could see she had shaved, but left a small tuft of blonde on top. It looked good.
Kunou saw me staring and ran her hand down her body until it reached her pussy. She leaned back slightly and used two fingers to spread it wide, showing me her glistening insides.
Once she had decided I had seen enough, or maybe she was just getting impatient, she started walking towards me.
"Here's how this is going to go. You are going to get naked, and then you are going to fuck me." She said with authority, but I could see her barely holding it together. I didn't call her out.
"I like that plan." I agreed as I started to strip as fast as I could. I was naked before she even got to me. I might have ripped some of my clothes, but I was fast. That is what mattered.
Once I was done I saw Kunou pause for a moment before her eyes dilated. I wouldn't say I was huge or anything but Body had clearly done wonderful things to me. It wouldn't be wrong to say I was the perfect size.
Kunou regained her wits quickly, looking extremely pleased as she ran her eyes over my naked form.
"I don't want to be able to walk tomorrow." She purred in my ear as she walked past me and climbed on the bed.
My eyes traced her wandering tails down to their base, staring at her exposed ass as she got into position.
Looking down at Kunou, on her back and spreading her pussy for me is the hardest I think I have ever been.
I got into position, my cock brushing against her slit. Instead of starting instantly though, I took my time.
I surprised Kunou by leaning down for another kiss, this one even sloppier than before. We were a mess of tongues and limbs, with Kunou running her hands along my muscles and I was giving special attention to her tits.
The way she bucked and mewled as I tweaked her nipples was so hot.
"You're beautiful." I whispered as I broke the kiss.
Kunou looked vulnerable for a moment before her expression shifted into something more predatory. "You know kitsune are basically seduction spirits? Of course I'm beautiful." She tried to deflect, but she was still visibly preening.
"Less talking loverboy, more making a mess out of me." She demanded, and I could feel her lifting her hips to rub against me.
I spent a moment getting my tip slightly inside her but stopped. Kunou looked confused as I interlocked both my hands with hers.
Her eyes widened in unblinking eye contact as I sunk into her.
I took a split second to set that Sex mote to make sure nobody gets hurt. I can practice on Kunou all I want to get better at the fun parts.
""Holy shit"" We both said, before we chuckled slightly. I was bottomed out and Kunou was totally full. There was even a small bulge on her lower stomach which she was staring at.
"It's so warm." Kunou whispered in wonder. "Mama never mentioned that part." Odd that she would bring up her mother right now, but it reminded me of Yasaka's teasing for the last few months and my dick twitched.
Which Kunou felt.
"You know, I know about what Mama has been doing. Honestly, if you didn't have Hana we would have both been walking around naked all the time." Kunou said out of the blue. I knew she knew, but it was an odd time to bring it up.
Kunou noticed my odd look as she continued talking.
"It's ok, you know? Harems are normal, and Mama works so hard. She deserves something nice. Not right now though, it's my turn. You can start moving now." She said as she made eye contact. I ignored that harem comment for now.
Watching her face flutter as I pulled back was one of the hottest things I have ever seen.
Then I pushed forwards. Then back again. Then forwards.
Kunou was letting out a symphony of moans, mewls and squeaks during this slow hand holding, eye contact missionary.
"Faster." She breathlessly demanded. Who was I to deny her.
I sped up my strokes, which made her breasts start to bounce even more. Letting go of one of her hands, I used my free hand to start to play with them.
The firmness was divine, and feeling her pussy clench when I tweaked them just right was a reward on its own.
"Kiss me, I'm close." She rasped out and I dove to her lips while not slowing down.
"I'm close too." I gasped back in between kisses.
"Do it inside." She begged, a wild look in her eyes. I was too far gone to even think about denying.
"Don't stop. Don't stop." She was moaning, and I felt her start to tighten up. It was coming.
Just as I felt her really tighten up, she broke the kiss and bit my shoulder. It wasn't hard, and she could never hurt me, but damn was it hot.
As Kunou totally locked up in pleasure I bottomed out and released a full load into her desperate womb.
This is the moment I miscalculated.
I was a Sage. Normally this fact doesn't really affect my daily life, but it means my Ki, my lifeforce is extremely potent.
Having sex is probably the most Life aligned act there is.
What this meant is that Kunou just got a load of ultra dense lifeforce dumped deep inside her.
I watched the moment she went from 'amazing orgasm' to 'mind melting fireworks'.
Everything I knew about Ki said this wouldn't hurt her though, so I just kissed and comforted her as she rode the orgasm.
Eventually her eyes regained clarity and she started kissing me back.
"That was amazing." Kunou said in a wonderous tone. "I can feel everything you let out inside. It's so warm and potent."
"Are you ok?" I checked. She seemed fine, but it also felt like good aftercare to ask after that minor mind whammy.
"Never been better. I think I even got a little stronger." She let out a small gasp when she realized that, before making a devious face. "You let out so much, so deep inside. I might get pregnant, you know? Or is that what you wanted."
I froze still, but of course she felt my cock twitch again. Damn thing keeps ratting me out.
"I-" I started, but Kunou put a finger over my lips to shush me.
"I'm joking. Watching you with Hana makes me melt, but I'm too young for a child. I took precautions before I came here. Don't be too disappointed." She added with a small wink.
I let out a sign before flopping onto her, making her laugh.
We laid there for a while, just enjoying the feeling of each other.
"Wanna go again?" I asked, face still in her tits.
"Of course, Daddy." She replied coyly.
She felt my cock twitch again and started laughing.
I shut her up real quick.
