>>34508 Sorry about that. I've had some fear that my sex dialogues are going to be kind of terrible, which is why I kept them to a minimum... But I'll do better next time! >>34510 Haha, that picture was uploaded just earlier today too! Quite a coincidence... ---
"I've noticed some weird things recently." Even though your Mistress can read your mind, you still voice your thoughts out to emphasize your point. That seldom fails to catch her attention; it's one of your little ways to let her know that you have something important to say.
Sure enough, she replies, "Mm, like what?"
"Somehow, I know a lot about your power... like just now."
"I guess you've been hangin' around me for too long, huh?" She says, chuckling a little as she gives you a pat on the head. You smile at her lighthearted comment, but it does nothing to dissuade you from thinking that your familiarity with her power doesn't come from mere observation. Rather, it's more as if you have the perfect knowledge of what she can and cannot do.
"...I guess it's a li'l spooky, but we're family, Satori," she sighs after having undoubtedly read your thought. "We get to know each other stupidly well. I even know the exact day for you to get frisky... like just now." As Mistress Orin mimics your earlier statement, you turn your head away from her in order to conceal your blushing face - but she simply laughs at that. "Oh, yeah. I know that it must've felt all tingly all over your body and down there too, and the only thing that you can think of is to get laid--"
There. She must be having the same experience as you do, too. That idea is only floating in your mind for a short while, but you quickly regret it when you realize who you're dealing with. Unexpectedly, Mistress Orin seems to be taken aback by your thought - but after a moment of deep thought, she lifts her shoulders.
"Huh... Well, it's probably a bit strange to you, but I can read minds, remember?" She grins, sounding more sure of herself with every word. "It's probably a bit rude to y'all, but there are only you and a buncha other kasha around here that I could learn that from." She's probably right, but nevertheless...
"That's the thing," you say again. "I don't really feel like a kasha. It's like... It's like I'm not really me."
"You're not in a mid-life crisis, are ya?" You return that comment with an icy stare. Even though you are a youkai, you're definitely not that old. "Nyahahaa, I kid, I kid. But it sounds like you're feeling under the weather or something." You suppose that it's possible, considering the strange headaches that you've had recently.
"Eh? Headaches? Are ya alright?"
Yes, you've been feeling fine for some time now, you told her through your mind. Still, you wonder if she ever felt the same thing: not feeling like yourself.
"Hmm." She idly rubs at your ears as she thinks. It feels rather nice, so you close your eyes to better enjoy the feeling and the sound of her fingers. "I guess I might've... When I'm feeling extra tired from working in the mansion, or something. It's probably nice to be able to go out with you guys every now and then, you know?"
She sighs. "...That's a bad idea, though. I don't think anyone would be too keen to have a mind-reading satori walking around them."
When you open your eyes again, you can see that she's still smiling - but there's no mistake about what you've just heard. There is a bit of sadness mixed in her voice, and no matter how she tries to hide it, you can still feel her emotion seeping through her words. You don't know what to say - or think - about that. Just like before, you somehow realize how that must have been like for her, to have no other choice than staying indoors for most of her time.
You can't help but feel a twinge of guilt for your Mistress.
"Hey, don't worry about it!" She ruffles your hair. "I have you and the rest of our family. That's way, way better than anything that I could've asked for." You give her a smile of your own. She's always so infectiously cheerful, and you can't help liking her for that.
"H-hey, hey, don't get sappy on me here."
Well, she's the one who started it first.
Mistress Orin sticks her tongue at you. You let out a small laugh, but already your mind is distracted by one last curiosity - and it's a rather big one, too. "You're the satori, but I'm the one whose name is Satori. Isn't that really weird?"
"Ah, well..." Mistress Orin has a sheepish look on her face. "It's a pretty silly story, actually."
That only makes you even more curious.
"Mmnnn... Alright, fine. I guess you've the right to hear about it." She heaves a sigh. "...Me an' Okuu are never really that good with names, y'see. It's why we keep telling you to just call us Orin and Okuu too. Long names like Kaenbyou and Reiuji and whatnot are way too much of a mouthful. So when we took you in, we decided to just call you Satori, since... since, well, you're one of us, now."
She lets out a nervous laugh. "Aheheh... That's probably a bad call on my part. Do you hate your name or something?"
You shake your head. Of course not - especially if it's a name that your Mistresses have picked for you. Your owner is still embarrassed, but she finally giggles and gives you another pat on the head. "You're way too good a girl to us, Satori."
"But really, I think it's just the heat messing with your brain," she says again after a while. You nod at her, but deep inside, that strange feeling of unease continues to bother you. You don't have any sort of discontent, and your life with your Mistress and the rest of your family is as best as it can be, but there is definitely something strange going on.
Mistress Orin looks conflicted upon reading your thoughts, but in the end, she runs a hand through her hair and exhales loudly. "Ahh, what the heck. If you feel like something's off, you're probably right. You're one smart cat, like I said - so I'll see if I can find things out when I have some free time and all that." She scratches at the back of your neck. "I don't want you to get worried sick over anything, ever."
She's really good to you. "Thank you, Mistress," you look up and give her a resolute nod. "I hope that it's nothing important too... But whatever happens, I'll be by your side."
"Ah..." She seems to be stunned by your words, and when you raise your eyebrows in curiosity of her reaction, she only averts her eyes away from you. You're starting to get worried. Did you say something wrong? "No, no! Nothing like that - it's just that... that you look awfully serious there that I dunno what to say, you know."
Now you're the one who doesn't know how to react. "It's a pretty good look for you, actually, lookin' kinda cool like that," she giggles. Damn it. You're pretty sure your face is burning red because of that, but you manage to keep your expression as calm and stoic as usual - if only barely.
"You know I can tell what you're feeling."
Right. Again, damn it all.
She laughs. "Don't get too worked up about it, though. You're my pet, after all; I'm the one who's supposed to be takin' care of you."
"...Like what you've been doing to me this entire time," you say teasingly as you nuzzle a little against her crotch, leaving no room for doubt as to what you're talking about. This causes her to stumble over her words a little.
"N-no... Yes - Well, fine, maybe," she ends her stutter with a huff.
"I would certainly like it if you use your power like this more often, Mistress~"
"You'd like it, huh?" She grins and shakes her head. "...Perverted cat. Well, fine, I can't really say I hate it either, so just give me a holler if you need my power for whatever." She stretches her arms and yawns. "Man, that really takes a lot outta me... Stay with me for a while, Satori. If you want, you can rest a bit more after that - today's sorta like your sick day, after all."
You accept her invitation and lies there on the cum-stained bed together with your Mistress, embracing each other closely as the two of you slowly drift into sleep. Today is your sick day, you drowsily repeat that phrase in your head. That may be true - perhaps on more levels than you even realize - but you know that you're going to need to do something to get to the bottom of this strangeness.
As soon as you wake up, you're going to...
[] Do your work anyway. You feel relatively fine, after all.
- [] Pick a location on the surface world.
[] Laze around in the Underground a little bit more.
- [] Explore the Palace of the Earth Spirits more.
- [] You wonder if there's something you can find in the Fusion Reactor.
- [] Take a walk around the Former Capital.
[] Do some other things.
[] Stay futa.
[] Let it go.
