[X] Suggest simply sleeping together and enjoying the company.
------
Wearily, you lean in and push your lips to her own. Tenshi's eyes go wide in surprise for a moment, not expecting your actions. After the initial shock wears off, she shuts them and returns the kiss, pressing her lighter frame up against your own. You break the kiss and embrace her, letting her head slip beneath your chin to rest against your chest. One hand comes up from behind, stroking her soft blue hair. “I do want to, Tenshi,” you whisper.
“But?” she questions you, rubbing her head against you.
“I'm so tired, I feel exhausted,” you answer, relaxing your grip. “I don't want to waste our time together.” You kiss the top of her head.
She shifts slightly beneath you, moving to become more comfortable in your arms. “I don't think we're wasting anything,” she responds reassuringly. You can feel her small lips grazing over the skin of your neck.
You grin and let out a slow, content sigh. She really is sweet, despite her initial hostilities. “How about we just relax, sleep, and enjoy being together?” you suggest.
Her hair tickles your chin as she nods. “I think that sounds wonderful,” she says, almost dreamily. The both of you slowly lay down, maintaining the embrace. You shift beneath the covers in an attempt to get comfortable. Tenshi presses her body tighter, conforming her shape to yours. The two of you lay there, eyes closed, content to simply hold one another.
“Mm, Tenshi,” you whisper, rubbing your chin lovingly against her head.
She moves in your arms slightly. “Yes?”
You gently shake your head. “Oh, nothing,” you answer dismissively. “I just wanted to say your name.” Tenshi doesn't say a word, instead opting to plant another kiss on you. This sort of affection is rather refreshing. While you do enjoy the more lustful approach of certain women, this feeling is indescribably wonderful. Shinki, Kogasa, Tenshi, the list goes on. The thought of a relationship enters your mind. You did make a commitment to Shinki, but what would it be like to get involved with the others? There's still Yukari to consider, as well. She did bring you here.
You notice after a couple more minutes that her breathing has slowed down a bit. Seems she fell asleep. The only thing that remains are your thoughts. They drift to your master, Yukari. She fits into the lustful category, but she has shown you both care and concern. You can't help but wonder if there is far more beneath the surface.
“Have you considered mating her?” asks a voice from behind. It isn't that of Nue, or one of the other girls. Nor that of your master. It sounds like the one you heard in the bar earlier. You gently release Tenshi and roll away, looking towards the source. A well-dressed, and well-mannered, woman sits in a nearby chair. “Don't speak, you'll wake her, just respond with your thoughts.” She stands, bowing slightly. “The Nue would also become suspicious.” She is fairly tall with long, blonde hair cascading down her back. A red-and-white maid outfit covers her body.
Who are you?
The mysterious woman smiles slightly. “My name is Yumeko,” she answers, saying nothing else.
You quickly fill in the blanks, though. Shinki mentioned you, you were her servant.
“Servant, protector, consort, friend,” she begins. “I am, or rather, was, many things to her.”
She said you were gone, so why are you here now?
Yumeko nods. She is quite polite, hands folded neatly in front of her. “I am indeed gone, at least physically,” comes her answer. “My spirit still resides in the blade, and that is a manifestation of what you're seeing now.”
You pause, trying to process everything. Why not appear before?
“I had no need, you weren't in danger, nor your companions, until recently,” she informs you with a smile. “I've been watching, ever since the first moment you focused on the sword.” The woman returns to her seat. “Think of it as your energy waking me up, if you will.”
I'm still a bit confused, but thank you for the explanation.
“Oh, of course, you're quite welcome.”
Now would you explain what you meant by 'mating her'?
“Yukari,” she states matter-of-factly. “Have you considered mating her?” she asks once more. “Despite your conflicted thoughts, I can tell there is something more lying beneath.” You fume in annoyance, clearly upset by her invasion of your privacy. She simply dismisses the upset. “Well?”
I've had sex with her, if that's what you're asking, but Shinki...
Yumeko interrupts you, mid-thought. “I didn't ask about Shinki, I asked about your master.” She stands again, taking a few steps towards the bed. “And when I say mate, I mean mate, not simply have sex.” Despite her rather forward line of questioning, she still comes off as overbearingly polite.
Not really, but...
Despite your efforts, she stops you once more. “But, you need to talk to Yukari about it first, I recall the conversation with Ran earlier.”
Have you been listening in on all of my conversations and thoughts?
“I can't help it, I'm in your head,” she answers with a grin. “While I am a separate, spiritual entity, when you put your focus and energy into my being, a connection was formed,” follows the explanation. “We are loosely, yet inextricably, linked together.”
Well, she's fairly attractive, a bit nosy, but nice enough to answer your questions. Maybe I can live with that.
“Those thoughts are rather unbecoming,” Yumeko says with a slight blush. “I am here to assist you, not be lusted after.”
So, why are you asking about my position on Yukari? Realizing how that thought sounded, you blush. You know what I mean, given everything with Shinki and all, I'd think you would push for her.
She blinks a few times, thinking to herself. “I apologize if I came off as pushing, but that was not my intent.” Breaking her composure for a moment, she sighs and runs a hand through her long hair. “I need to explain a few things, it seems,” she starts. “While I certainly care for Shinki, my primary concern now is the well-being of yourself, as well as those around you, as I demonstrated earlier.”
You recall the incident, replaying it in your mind. Well, as best as one can replay pitch black and the sounds of battle. Yes, that was rather odd, especially with my sight being lost.
“My apologies once more, I took partial control of your body.” She bows politely, as if asking for forgiveness. You nod and she straightens up. “I have access to most of your thoughts, but not quite everything, it isn't easy to explain.”
That thought is a bit scary.
Yumeko raises her hands in a disarming manner. “No need to worry, again, I was merely considering your welfare,” she responds.
Do you know Yukari, or are you just acting on my thoughts?
She nods briefly. “Yes, I do, I spent much time with both her and Ran while I was alive,” she says. “Your surface and some of the underlying thoughts seem to indicate an affection for her, beyond that of a master-servant role, and I thou--.”
It is your turn to interrupt. Tell me, Yumeko, do you have experience with, as you put it, 'affection beyond that of a master-servant role'?
Yumeko pauses for a moment before beginning to open her mouth. A quiet knock at the door can be heard. The maid disappears into thin air before you. Tenshi can be heard stirring slightly, and you roll back over to embrace her. Wouldn't seem right to have abandoned her. “Wake up,” you whisper.
She groans quietly, shaking her messy blue hair. “Whassit?” she asks sleepily.
“Someone's at the door, Tenshi.”
A slight shrug comes next. “Let 'em come, I don't mind being seen with you.”
Another soft knock can be heard, followed by a familiar voice calling out. “Are you awake? Tenshi? Everything okay?” Sounds like Komachi.
“Come in, we were just sleeping,” you respond. The door opens slowly. Komachi and an unfamiliar face are standing in the entrance.
The red-haired woman seems a bit surprised that you're in bed, naked, with Tenshi, but quickly rushes to your side regardless. “Hey, you okay?”
You nod and smile, pleased to see her. Tenshi rolls on to her back, her naked upper body exposed to the cool air. “I'm alright, but where are the others, and who is your friend?” you ask, glancing to the doorway. A finely dressed woman, head topped with a pair of rabbit ears, stands in the door. She has a pair of dark glasses on and clutches what appears to be a medical bag.
“That's Reisen, she's here to check you out, I went right off to Eientei after you passed out,” Komachi answers, voice filled with worry. “As for the others, well, I had 'em go to another room, you can't pull a horny kitsune off someone once they get going.”
Reisen bows. “Please excuse me, I need to inspect you, I was informed that you had experienced multiple black-outs in a short period of time,” she says in a polite manner.
You look at her with a quizzical expression on your face. “What's with the glasses?” you inquire, rolling on to your side for a better look.
She shakes her head. “I'm sorry, it is preferable for me to wear these in such a situation,” she answers, not really offering an explanation. Reisen pulls a variety of familiar medical implements from her bag, going through a routine examination of your body. “Please lie on your back now,” she prompts you, waiting patiently. A blush comes over her face when she notices your rather apparent erection. Doing her best to ignore it, she finishes up the exam. “Nothing seems out of the ordinary, but my master would be better off giving you a proper work up,” she says, turning to Komachi. “We don't normally deal with humans, but have him come to Eientei when he is free,” Reisen instructs. She packs up her bag and turns to leave, just as quickly as she came.
“Well, I guess that's some sorta relief, huh?” Komachi asks.
You nod to her. “I appreciate the concern, but it wasn't necessary, I've just been overworking myself since the moment I got here,” you explain. “Hey, how long was I out?”
She shrugs. “I dunno, how long you been awake?”
Tenshi chimes in now. “I think like two hours or so, meaning he was out for maybe an hour?”
Nodding firmly, Komachi sits on the side of the bed. “Ran should be done about now, maybe you should head home and get some rest.” She says it rather insistently, rather than as a suggestion. She is right, though, and you need to finish the date back where it started. Today has been rather crazy. But, you don't want to abandon Tenshi either.
[ ] Go get Ran, head home.
[ ] Agree to head home if Komachi will stay with Tenshi.
[ ] Suggest bringing Tenshi home with you.
