Chapter 54
The half-demon couldn't remember the last time she was this tired.
While everyone had been walking to Jade, due to the fear of potential attacks on the way, everyone remained awake throughout the entire journey. Because of this, they got to the capital far faster than they would have if they had taken time to rest. However, at the same time, Ash could feel the weight of her fight on her shoulders, dragging her body to the point where she wanted to sink into the ground.
It took every bit of restraint she had not to fall asleep on the first couch she saw when everyone got to the Savior House.
She noticed though that not all of the Saviors went in. Akiven and Mizaki both remained outside.
"So, this is where you'll be staying?" Mizaki asked. "Cute place!"
"Uh," Kaori asked. "Will you be going somewhere else?"
"Yeah, I know a guy," Mizaki shrugged with a smile. Even though she had the same bags under her eyes like everyone else, she offset it with a bright grin and an energetic wave of a hand. "I might be back later to see if I'm needed or whatever. See ya!"
"Same," Akiven yawned. "I was going to crash here but... Shit, I used to live around here..." He looked around at the buildings nearby with nostalgia in his eyes. Ash didn't know him very well, but it was an expression that seemed to hint at some connection with this city. "Figure I may as well just go back home. Anyway, yeah. Have fun, sugar tits."
Kaori blushed but Ash paid that remark no mind and instead, walked into the house's living room.
Ash thought,
The half-demon was sat at a nearby couch, staring up at the ceiling as she leaned back on a ripped-up chair. The only other Savior, out of the ones Ash didn't know too well, Kasumi, had picked out a room upstairs. Ash hadn't noticed it before, but this house had a second floor, as it was designed to serve as a resting place for large groups of people.
Thankfully, that meant that she probably wouldn't be coming into too much contact with the stranger who would be with them for the next couple of days. She crossed one leg over the other, taking deep breaths.
She closed her eyes and instantly, she was right back at Pearl in her mind, watching Takomaro be turned into a Nightmare right in front of her. Sighing, she rubbed her temples.
She thought.
That was a train of thought she didn't want to continue.
A hand fell on her shoulder and Ash opened her eyes.
The very woman she'd been thinking about was in front of her, a kind smile on her face. Of course, Ash's eyes naturally fell on her missing left arm. However, after the small amount of sadness that bubbled up inside of her at the sight of it, something very different came to mind as well.
Ash's eyes went from Kaori's own pupils, down to her lips and then to her neck.
And then, she realized something, as her heart began to speed up. She hadn't noticed it because she'd been distracted for the past several hours, thanks to the events that happened at Pearl and the long walk to Jade.
Because she'd used her Demon Form, she gained a stack of Lust.
And, now that her mental space wasn't being taken up by the battle and its consequences, Ash could feel desire blossoming inside of her.
Ash thought.
She leaned a little closer.
"How are you feeling?" Kaori asked.
"Fine."
Ash replied, her eyes half-lidded both from being tired and suddenly horny.
"I see," Kaori replied. "It's nice that we finally get to rest, right?"
"Mhm."
Ash stood up. Placing her hands on Kaori's armored shoulders, she tilted her head slightly. Absent-mindedly, she began to lean in to press her lips against Kaori's, but before she finished doing so, she saw Keiko behind Kaori.
The Zayama had her eyes slightly raised as she watched. Ash hadn't noticed her standing there as well.
"Uh, Ash? Are you okay?" Kaori asked with a raised brow, maybe not noticing what her intentions had been. Ash nodded.
"Yeah, what's," she yawned, "what's up?"
"Oh, uh, nothing, we were just thinking about where we would be sleeping," Kaori said.
"Yes, uhm, I..." Keiko took a step forwards, lowering her head shyly. "I, I mean, there are a multitude of available rooms, of course, so I was wondering if we'd, well, you know, sleep separately or if..."
"Hm?" Ash raised a brow. "Listen, between being tired as shit and my eyes trying to get me to stare at your tits, it's hard to focus. You're going to have to spell it out for me."
"Eh!? I- oh... Right, your... Your Lust thing, right?" Kaori, who was inches away from Ash, replied.
"Mhm. So," Ash looked back at Keiko, "what is it?"
"I, well..." Keiko breathed in. "I wanted to know if you wanted to sleep together."
Ash heard that and shrugged.
"Sure."
"R-Really?" Keiko asked, blushing.
"Whatever." She didn't really have a more complex answer to give than that.
"O-Okay then..." Keiko nodded.
"Well," Ash yawned. "I'm just gonna go ahead and call it for today." Her shoulders sagged. "I don't think I can really function like this."
"Um... In that case," Keiko trailed behind her, as did Kaori.
That was how the three of them ended up in the same bed, a sheet thrown over them with Ash in the middle, and the others at her sides. A part of her wanted to bask in the feeling of both of them flanking her like this, but mostly, she just wanted to get some sleep.
"Wow..." Keiko muttered. "This is, uh, hehe, pretty weird, is it not?"
Her question went completely ignored as Ash's eyes closed and wouldn't open for the next 12 hours.
---
Shortly after Ash went to sleep, both Kaori and Keiko joined her, as they were equally as tired.
And that morning, Keiko had a dream that recalled events she hadn't thought of in a long time.
---
Does she not know of me?
For the first time in her life, upon waking, she looked around.
Ash was turned away from her, and Keiko could hear her speaking to Kaori.
And then, Kaori let out a moan.
Keiko thought, blinking.
She asked herself.
"... like this?" She heard Ash whisper in a slightly deeper voice than she usually spoke with.
Then, Keiko looked down and saw that Kaori's had an arm on Ash's shoulder and that Ash had an arm extended between Kaori's legs.
"H-Hey, not right now... I'm... She might wake up." She heard Kaori respond, embarrassed.
"Hm? I mean..." Then, as Ash turned around, she and Keiko locked eyes. "Fuck." Ash sighed. "Sorry."
"I... What?" Keiko blinked.
"My fault," Ash said. "I uh... Yeah."
Keiko turned away.
"Sorry." The Zayama replied.
"... Well, this got awkward," she heard Ash say.
However, at that moment, Keiko got a feeling in her chest. One she hated as soon as it appeared. It was a feeling she'd only felt a few times in her life, and not much recently.
She reached up and put a hand to her chest.
