Sushi, Sake, and Tanuki: After the Fall 2

"Why do you stay with me?" Yomosa asked, rolling over in the bed.


I shifted to a no form and then shifted back into my main human male form. She laughed and I tried to bring a smile to my face. Truth was that I loved her more than I had ever loved Sajoki. But I had never told her that.


"Why does it matter?" I replied. It didn't matter since I would protect her either way. She knew I would so why did I have to say it.


"Because I want to know if I should keep following you around." She said. "Sort of useless to do if you're just going to abandon me."


"I would never abandon you." I said.


"I know. You risked your life for me."


"I just don't see another option." I replied and then looked at the rising sun. "Looks like we should break our fast now."


Our breakfast was simple and I enjoyed it. However, I missed the feeling of blood going down my cheeks. I missed the feeling of just meat, even if it was cooked. The village had animals, of course, but they saved the meat for special occasions. And two travelers stopping by didn't count as a special occasion.


After we ate our breakfast, we went to a field. The sun was shinning down on us and I looked up at it. Suddenly I felt a foot hit my ribs.


"Ow!" I yelled out and grabbed Yomosa's foot so she fell to the ground.


Being graceful she got up quickly. I decided to play fair and stay in my male human form. This didn't help her much as I had lived for millenia. All things being fair, though, she did a good job at fighting me.


Normally the fight would be done in a few seconds, but I let it go on for awhile. Partially because I liked seeing her fight and partially because she was just that good.


Finally I attempted to block her and failed. We both allowed ourselves to fall to the ground with her in my arms.

Sushi, Sake, and Tanuki: After the Fall 1

It had been a few days since I had killed Hijunaki. Killed my own creator. It could've brought me nightmares if I had thought about it for a little bit. The reason I hadn't thought that much about it was the woman riding me now.


I was in my Shika Deer form and she was on my back. I was tired and couldn't wait until we arrived somewhere I could rest. The problem with this form was that I didn't feel free. I couldn't jump up and fly to save time. No, I could only run.


I huffed and Yomosa, the lovely woman on my back, scratched behind my ear.


"Don't worry, Rig, we'll be there soon." She said in her calming voice. That voice, as well as her scratching behind my ear, calmed me down. Now I remembered the reason for taking her with me. I had feelings for her. Were they feelings of love? I didn't want to go down that path. Not now.


I was Rig Katashi and I had found something worth living for.


After a few hours of hearing Yomosa's voice I saw a farming village. She quickly jumped off and I shifted into my main human form. As soon as I shifted forms I stretched to test out the limbs of my current form.


"Tell me again why I had to shift into a different form before we reached this village." I complained as soon as I finished stretching.


"Because you said you didn't want to arouse suspicion." Yomosa replied.


"And why did I have to change at all?"


She walked over to me and gave me a kiss. "Because you love me."


We shared a smile and I wished I could admit to what she had just said. We then turned back to looking at the village.


"You haven't lived among humans that much, have you?" She asked.


I shook my head. "Not since Sajoki and Tamui."


Yomosa gave me a smile and that gave me the strength to go into the village.


It was frightening going into the village since these people were humans. Yomosa was human but, again, I had feelings for her. I couldn't say the same thing about the others.


"Where are you people from?" One man asked me after we had asked for a room.


"Around." I replied. "I can't say much more than that. We've been on the run and it's better that you not know more than that."


The man smiled, sensing my lie. "As long as you don't bring trouble we don't mind."


"We'll be gone as soon as we can." I replied and could tell that he was happy for the news. This was a small village and so his reaction was normal. I could tell that Yomosa was slightly insulted, though.


After a few minutes he brought Yomosa and I to a small room. "Thank you." I said and bowed.


"Just keep that promise." The man said and bowed down higher than he needed to.


As soon as he left Yomosa kissed me.


"So we're on the run now?" She said and laughed.


"I thought it was a good excuse." I replied and we let ourselves go. Letting our bodies intertwine in which ways they wanted to.
