Chronicles of the West

It was kinda weird to write a shippo lemon LoL

Chapter Seventeen

Marian and Shippo chummed it up in the kitchens as she prepared the meal for them. Kurama and Silvana were talking in low tones over the table. Ippiku had made himself comfortable against Toga and remained out of sight. Ryu was stoking the fire in the hearth and laughing over Kurama's recounted exploits.

Silvana chuckled lightly as Toga listened to what his brother had been up to in the years following his departure. In many ways he envied Ryu. He, after all was free to pretty much do as he pleased. He was not first in line to be heir and was not groomed to rule. He was free.

Toga eyed the easy banter between Marian and Shippo and smirked. It was well known that Kurama and his two sidekicks cut a swath through the land taking treasures and hearts as they went. They were handsome, clever and of course silver tongued. He supposed they were tricks of the trade.

Dinner was set before them soon after. The venison tender and cooked just enough. They thanked Marian for the delicious meal as they ate, Kurama poured his requested wine for each of them and the conversation filled the halls of the lonely girl. Ippiku was perched on the eave of the table and Toga made certain to pass him a small amount of food.
After the meal was cleared, Kurama urged them all to gather around the table once more and they finished his potent wine. Marian was flushed and drank water instead. He noticed that she leaned lightly against Shippo. Ah to be young and in lust, he mused inwardly.

With a sigh, Toga rose, neatly palming the ice imp. "I bid you all a good night" he told them as he headed up the stairs. Kurama watched him go and then stood, "Think I'll turn in too". Shippo set his glass aside and gave the older fox a knowing wink.

Silvana rose and stretched. "You off to bed too?" Ryu asked her. She shook her head with a smile, "No. Just thought I'd go star gazing". Ryu refused to look at the Shippo at the moment. Silvana took mercy on him, "Would you come with me?". He nodded and rose following her into the crisp night air.

The stars twinkled brightly in the velvet darkness above them. Silvana gasped in surprise as Ryu's arm wrapped around her waist and he leapt into the trees and then finally to the high roof. He set her down carefully and she sank to the weathered shingles. The view here was without equal and unobstructed.

Ryu reclined, stacking his hands behind his head. "Long way from home" he said aloud. She sighed, glancing to the prone half demon beside her. "I suppose we are. More so for you". He grunted. Silvana stared off into the inky night, "When will your wanderings end?" she asked softly.

Ryu's ears flickered, "Dunno. I guess when I find that I'm looking for". Silvana wrapped her arms around her knees and rested her chin on them. "What are you looking for Ryu?". The hanyou didn't answer for a long while and she began to think he wouldn't. "I'll know when I find it" he said softly.

She nodded and dropped her chin again. A short time later, she felt his eyes on her and looked his way. "Come here Silvana" he said. Without thinking she scooted closer to him and he tugged her down beside him. She was tense and he chuckled at her, "Look, there's a horse with wings" he told her pointing into the night sky.

She blinked and looked up, "Where, I don't see it" she replied. Ryu pointed again, "Right there woman". She squinted and bent but it eluded her. Ryu grinned and pulled her back against the roof, her head cushioned on his shoulder. "Now look, right there" he told her.

She followed the line of his arm up to the sky and then the pattern, abstract at best reached her. "Oh" she said. He grinned, unseen against the curl of her hair. Several minutes past as he pointed out the constellations to her. She was enthralled by the sight and the tales he wove.

Ryu was not at all what he appeared. He seemed so gruff and rough around the edges. In some ways he was, but he was also well learned and refined. It was an odd contrast to be sure but one that she liked immensely. He teased her and made her laugh and she poked him in the ribs.

"I wonder if the night sky is large enough to hold your ego?" she teased him back. Ryu seemed to ponder her question, "Probably not" he admitted. She laughed, "Have you no shame?". Ryu rolled them suddenly until she was pinned beneath him. Wide blue eyes blinked up at him, heat creeping across the pale cheeks.

Ryu stared down at her, thinking that he'd never encountered a jewel as lovely as she. "None" he told her. She found herself smiling up at him. He pressed a kiss to her forehead and she thanked him. Then he kissed her nose and she thanked him again. Feeling shy under his light actions.

Ryu hovered over her lips, feeling the warmth of her cheeks against his face. He looked up into her eyes and then slowly closed the distance between them. His lips were warm and firm against her slightly cooler, softer ones. Silvana let her eyes flutter closed and he began to massage her lips with his own. She felt his tongue brush over the fullness of her bottom lip and she parted for him. Her slim fingers sliding into his silver hair.

Ryu groaned into her mouth as his tongue sank within. He wanted so much more than this simple caress but this would be enough for now. It had to be. His tongue lightly brushed over hers before retreating and he broke the kiss. It was the lightest kiss she'd experienced and her heart was racing from it.

He rolled them to their sides and tugged her against him again, his nose in her hair. She blinked in some confusion. Why had he stopped? "Ryu?" she asked. He tightened his grip on her, "I can't do that Silvana" he told her, "Not until I have what I want". She sighed, not understanding but assuming he felt her tainted by his brother's touch.

As if reading her thoughts, he dropped a chaste kiss to the crown of her head, "It has nothing to do with your past" he told her. She nodded and tucked her head beneath his chin, making the alpha in him growl with contentment.

-------------------~

"Good night Marian" Shippo said to the blushing woman. She stood in her bedroom door, staring up at the handsome green eyed fox. He turned to leave, but her small hand shot out and caught his sleeve, "Please stay Shippo" she whispered. He stared down at her, "We are leaving tomorrow" he reminded her. She nodded, "I know. Please?"

Shippo stepped inside of her room and closed the door behind him. She smiled up at him and he caught her to his chest, wrapping his arms around her tightly as his head descended to hers. By her actions and reactions he knew this one was no innocent and so he relaxed further. No guilt in the morning.

Her mouth opened beneath his and he deepened his kiss, mindful of concealing his fangs behind his lips and tongue. Her moans drifted to his ears and his hands slid down her body to pull her tight against him. Her arms slid around his neck and she pulled herself against him. Her breasts flat against his hard pecs.

Shippo worked quickly, efficiently, removing her clothing from her without the much wanted use of claws. Her soft pink flesh was bared to his hungry eyes and his hand tangled in her soft hair to draw her head back as he rained open mouthed kisses along her the slender column of her throat.

He walked her backwards towards her bed, his lips never faltering. The firm mattress hit the back of her knees and she tumbled backwards, a hard body coming down atop her, cushioning her fall. Her arousal was like honey in the air and Shippo bit back a small growl.

Marian's little hands were stripping him of his clothing and with a quick reflex he hid his tail with fox magic. Apparently she thought was part of his clothing. Well, good for her. His large tanned hands stroked over her petite form, before he knelt between her parted thighs and reached forward.

She moaned when his roughened hands palmed her breasts, rolling caramel colored peaks between thumbs and forefingers, teasing them to hardness. She writhed against the bed, against his knee that was braced against her opening.

Shippo leaned forward to catch her lips once again, his hands smoothing over her slim hips. He lifted his hips and she worked his hakamas from his body. Her hands teased over the hard flesh of his erection and he hissed at the sensation of it. He settled his weight easily between her thighs and nipped along her throat and collarbone. Marian's hands trailed over his back and arms.

Shippo worked his way down her chest, swirling his tongue over her taut nipples. He wanted to use his fangs, knew just that they did to females. However this was one that hadn't figured out what he was. It was better that way, her people might not take well to his kind.

She did however, and that was what mattered now. She arched off the bed as he sucked her peak into his mouth, sliding it against the textured roof of his mouth. Her hands clutched at his hair as she whimpered and panted. "So responsive" he rumbled to her, flicking his tongue across her stomach and dipping his tongue into her navel.

His clawed hand stroked to her center. Her hips rose as he neared the area and he decided to tease her. Skilled fingers skirted around her pearl, drawing out needful sighs. His fingers danced around her opening, but didn't venture inside.

His teasing touches made her press upwards against his hard body. He nipped her inner thigh and she cried out. Slowly he lowered his head to her and lapped along the seeping slit. She moaned loudly and he smirked. He hadn't even started on her yet. His darting tongue pressed burning licks and laps over wet, clinging flesh. He whorled his tongue through the folds and she arched against him, holding him close to her.

Shippo let his long tongue slide up inside of her, as his nose brushed against her pearl. Marian cried out against the sheets as he worked her mercilessly. Her orgasm crashed down at her moments later. Shippo licked his lips as he slid up her body, fusing their lips together as he sank deep into her.

He was large, larger than her previous lovers and he filled her to a painful bliss. She felt the head of his length brush over some hidden spot within and yelped. Her eyes going wide. Shippo smirked down at her, "Something wrong?" he asked, pressing a hot kiss to her ear.

She panted, "It felt…. It felt" she tried. Shippo shifted hitting the spot again, "Good?" he provided her. She nodded, her blue eyes filled with wonder. "Never felt that before have you?" he asked. She shook her head and he chuckled. This promised to be most satisfying. It had obviously been a long time since a male had touched her. Her body was tight around him and he dropped his head to press kisses to her shoulder.

His clawed hand moved to her abdomen and pressed down lightly as he began to pump in and out of her, pushing that hidden spot all the closer to his length. She arched at the burning sensation that quickly turned into flaring heat. His hand shifted until his thumb could graze her pearl on every other pass.

Shippo felt her body flutter around him and he gritted his teeth as he slowed the pace. Marian cried out for him, her need so great now. Shippo shrugged her knees over his shoulders and pressed on her stomach again. He thrust hard, she cried out with each thrust but he knew he wasn't hurting her.

She whimpered and mewled against him, pressing hot kisses to his throat. Her nails scored his back and his hissed with delight at the feeling. Her body tightened around his, making thrusting nearly impossible. He felt the incredibly hot rush of fluid surge from her body. Her head fell back as she screamed out his name into the night. Shippo slid from her body and his seed pooled in the center of her stomach.

Shippo leaned up and kissed her softly, "Thank you Marian" he told her and she smiled tiredly up at him. Her soft fingers brushing his cheek, "Thank you Shippo, I've never felt that way before" as she spoke and tried to sit up another surge of fluids swept from her. She blushed and reached for a sheet, "I should clean up". He nodded, standing and shrugging into his clothing. He knew one cardinal rule for these situations. You never, ever stayed the night. He bid her good night and headed for his own room.
