Chapter 52 – Ash
So after I banished Runana, Haruka and I went for another walk – a real one this time. I picked a rose and gave it to her, but I accidentally pricked myself in the process. That hurt! She smiled and played a cheerful song on her lyre to cheer me up.
“So you don’t mind joining my harem, Haruka? I just thought it seemed forced when I asked you initially…”
“I don’t know, Lord Ashura. I felt some… compulsion to go with you, although now I can safely say I’m glad I’m your friend.”
Oh good.
“So you’re not forced anymore?”
“Of course not! It faded away this morning when you asked for my help. I expected to be ordered around, and I did interrogate Hotaru and Setsuna about you, but you seem nice enough. Besides, I need a sparring partner.”
“Oh, want to have a practice bout now?”
“Sure, but we’ll have to be careful. Neither of us are wearing armor.”
“… Do you actually need it?”
“Clever, clever! So you didn’t gain your position through brute strength alone! I’m grateful for that. No, I don’t. I play the Siren’s song before every battle so that the men miss me.”
“Interesting… well, I’ll try just the same.”
“Be my guest, but don’t cry if you lose, lord!”
“I’m not planning on that, Haruka. Believe me.” I smile and summon my thunder blade; it’s a beautiful sword, a golden hilt and a blade of black lightning…
Haruka unsheathes her sword from her back – oh, now that I take a good look, it’s not a straight sword like mine, but rather a curved scimitar with an intricately curved golden handle and a red blade, maybe a foot and a half long. Interesting. The sheath is white and decorated with jewels.
Magic energy hums from it… interesting.
Her first blow cuts right through my sword in half – but the lightning reforms. A powerful weapon then. I dodge as she moves quickly – her agility must be high, I’m hard pressed to keep up with her movements, until I cheat and use some of Arcanine’s magic, still, it’s a very intricate dance; we jump and parry and lunge back and forth for quite a while, until I notice that the sun is starting to go down and I’m soaked with sweat. We both are, actually…
She’s really good!
Haruka smiles. “Well, you’re not bad. Almost touched me once or twice.” She points to a rip or two on her sleeve and then another one going across her stomach. I can see her skin.
Ah! Bad thoughts! Bad Ash! Don’t think about that! I can see her breasts and her nipples sticking out, since the white shirt is soaked and plastered to her chest – okay, bad thoughts, stop right there!
This is different from seeing them in bikinis when we’re splashing around in the water. I’m only twelve! I shouldn’t be thinking this! But I’m really fifteen, and much older…
No. I won’t. I promised Lance I’d let him be first…
Haruka notices my unease and blinks. “Is something bothering you, lord?”
“Ah!” I take off my vest and thrust it at her. “Please, put this on. I’ll have Create make you some new clothes later.”
She frowns, and I look away while she puts it on…. Okay. Stop that right now… “It’s not that I’m angry with you, it’s just that…”
“You wish to wait before deflowering us.”
“Um… yes?”
“I see. I can wait, my lord. I am sorry…”
“No! It’s not your fault! It’s my fault for thinking about those things…”
She kisses me, so I can’t say anymore, and I moan in spite of myself as her tongue slips inside my mouth. Something hard presses against my leg, and my pants suddenly feel tight.
Oh shoot!
Bad, bad thoughts! When the kiss ends, I apologize again and run off to take a long, cold shower…
This is going to be a long five years…
Well, if that wasn’t bad enough, I jumped into the huge hot tub they somehow manage to have – a marble bath, and find Michiru, full tail and all, floating in the water. She greets me cheerfully, but…
It’s warm water full of scented lavender bubbles… which is good and all, but I am really trying hard not to think about sex right now and the temperature is not helping.
I’m going to go mad!
Anyways, I take possibly the fastest bath in history-five seconds flat, and rush into my bedroom with a towel, barring and bolting the door.
Phew… safe…
Now what do I do? This sucks. Seriously. Okay. I shall now think of all the non-sexual things possible so I won’t…
Frogs. Eew. Okay, that worked. Thinking of dissecting frogs helped with that problem. Now, where’s my body lotion?
Aha, there it is…
After I get dressed in black jeans and a black t-shirt and my red-and-white jacket and black gloves again, I feel much better.
Now on to dinner!
Oh, I forgot to put the gold circlet back in my hair. It denotes me as king. Better than those huge heavy crowns King Melvin and Queen Agatha wear…
Ugh. Don’t want those.
Now what?
“Lord Ashura?”
Ah! What in the world happening? Why must I face all this temptation! I must resist! Wait a second…
This girl doesn’t look familiar…?
“Um…, who are you?”
She laughs as she tosses her red-streaked black hair back and blood-red eyes greet me cheerfully. She’s wearing a minidress that looks like it’s painted on, and against my will, I blush and hastily look away again.
“Who….?”
“Oh Ash, honestly!”
“LANCE?!”
“Of course. I’m surprised that all the magic in this world is helping me contain the homicidal tendencies of my third form. Since I couldn’t come as Dragon Master, I came as Mistress of Dark Illusions. You like what you see?”
“H-hai!”
“Come on, Ash. Denying your desires is obviously painful.”
“But I’m too young!”
“Fine, be that way…” She pouts. “But remember, I’ll be here when you need me.”
“So do you have a name besides Lance, Catelyn…?”
“Crystal of course.”
“Hai, Crystal. Makes sense.” I can’t help grinning very brightly. “So~! Here to join the harem?”
“Remember how I said I didn’t mind as long as I was first? That’s why I’m your Alpha…” Ah, that explains the pokédex somewhat…
I see…
Well then, all’s well that ends well! “But why didn’t Charlotte come, aniki?”
“I doubt you want her as a Harem girl, and unfortunately, she would have to join if she did, so…”
“Eek! Point taken.”
