I would get different editors, but I want to get this uploaded and I don't want to wait anymore. I'm really sorry for every error that got past my eyes, either way, enjoy this very long story. It reached more than 35,000 words and I felt that it wouldn't work too well if separated into parts, so enjoy all 35,000 words continuously. Also, this is not a story focused on sex, while there are scenes like that, it is a purely story based upload. –Nepenthe– Part one. "SHE'S ESCAPED! AFTER HER!" Yelled a large man in a black suit. He was holding a pistol in his right hand and was directing several men with his other. The man's name is Daniels. At least it was his name this time. And Daniels was entrusted with guarding a certain black haired girl, whom was recently given a certain drug designed to have a certain effect on a person's mind. Yet he failed, as somehow the girl undid her bindings, which were made of a tough metal mind you, and overpowered him. The men, along with Daniels, began their pursuit of the girl after activating the alarm that resonated through the entire facility. They needed to capture her soon, or else the girl would escape, most likely with the help of her power. As the men split up to navigate the facility, which practically rivaled the Labyrinth of Crete, Daniels was the first one to come into contact with the girl, in a bad way. The girl swiped upwards with a golden limb, striking him in the chin. Daniels barely managed to avoid blackening out before he called for the other men, "SHE'S OVER HERE!" The girl panicked as she delivered the final, non-lethal, blow to Daniels, striking him with her palm on the sides of his head. The men, along with some reinforcements making their number around six, aimed their pistols at Jia. "DON'T MOVE!" "DO NOT RESIST!" And along with several other shouts permeated the hall. Jia hissed at the men, which startled them and had them fire their guns. At first the men thought they killed the girl, though they saw they were wrong. A gold green membrane swept up and blocked all the bullets. Some of them got stuck in the membrane, causing it to bleed and having the girl scream out in pain. The men in suits didn't see it, as the membrane covered the girl, but the girl picked up Daniel's gun and fired it until it ran out of bullets. Each of the bullets hit seemingly random body parts of the men, causing one of them to die instantly and wounding the others. The girl, as the men fell down clutching their wounds in agony, was about to retreat backwards only to find more men in suits rushing at her with their pistols and even larger guns. Jumping over the wounded men, the girl fled the area and escaping deeper into the facility. It wasn't long until the girl found a set of windows, which revealed that the girl was in a very high tower like building. The girl didn't know, but she was approximately fifty-three stories up. Turning around, the girl saw another person walking towards her. It was a girl with short red hair. The black haired girl recognized the red haired girl to be one that occasionally joined her in the strange areas of the facility, not as a guard, but as a fellow test subject. The black haired girl was cautious, and rightfully so, as the red haired girl revealed a carbon fiber baton measuring at least a third of a meter. Instantly the red haired girl swung at the black haired girl, who ducked and effortlessly counter attacked. Not one of the test subjects didn't know how to fight in melee combat, and each specialized in the arts of their choosing, but as to where that specialty came from, none of the test subjects knew. The red haired girl did know one thing, it was that she was ordered to retrieve the black haired girl and take her back to the facility conscious of unconscious. She was also ordered not to kill, which was strange, as another test subject had escaped once before and the ones who ordered the red haired girl to pursue, said that they couldn't care less if the previous escapee died. Yet it was different for this girl. In the end, the red haired girl didn't care about killing or not, all she wanted to do was fulfill her orders. The red haired girl rained a series of attacks with her baton, with each of them being nullified by a strange martial art the black haired girl used. Still, her persistence paid off, as one of the attacks managed to land a blow on the black haired girl's side. Pained by the attack, the black haired girl snarled and formed a nukite, an attack with the fingers of the hand extended, stabbing it into the red haired girl with speed. It proved successful, the red haired girl couldn't comprehend the speed of the attack, and received the nukite into her chest, piercing the flesh and snapping a rib. The red haired girl couldn't help but recoil backwards, shuddering from the pain. Still, pain didn't matter. Ignoring the pain, the red haired girl looked up and prepared to charge, only to find a broken window. Looking out from the window, the red haired girl saw the black haired girl falling down to her death, or what should have been her death. Two golden green and bony membranes sprouted from the girl's back, causing her to glide down to the surface under the cover of the night. The hot night air flooded the facility as the red haired girl blinked several times and cursed her failure. She contemplated following her through the window, but she didn't, as while she felt that she could, she also didn't know how. The black haired girl had successfully escaped. - "Soooo hungry..." I moaned softly to myself as I stumbled my way through a fairly populated street way. Populated in the sense that there were the occasional passerby's window-shopping and buying from street vendors. I originally went through this street because it was the way to the bus stop where I would normally board the number 24 bus and head to my apartment. I had just gotten off work at the local electronics store as an assistant manager. It was decent pay, above the average worker's pay thankfully and with some fairly decent benefits. Well, I call it above average, others would call it quite the plush position. Still, that didn't change the fact that I had no money in my wallet and thus I could eat no food until I got home... Well, I could beg for some money from strangers, but I'd probably come off as some desperate addict. I don't know why, I keep myself clean, I wear clean clothes that I wash once a week, and I make sure I utilize a healthy amount of cleaning products when ever I shower or bathe. Maybe it's my facial features? No, not that, I don't even keep a hint of facial hair, I'm not too short or too tall, and... Well, maybe it's my whining? As I walked down the street, I kept an active eye on my surroundings for reasons unknown to me. You know that friend of yours who always brags about finding money on the streets? Not coins but actual bank notes worth around ten or twenty dollars. I guess I was hoping to become one of those people who gets lucky enough. "Ah, who am I kidding?" I mumbled under my breath. 'Crinkle' I looked down with my downcast face. The sight before my eyes took approximately twenty-three seconds to register with my brain. I rubbed my eyes as if trying to get rid of any possible mirages or hallucinations, the weather did resemble the Sahara after all. Yet nothing disappeared; what I saw was exactly the same: A one hundred dollar bill. 'Ok... Keep calm, you're a big boy now, Callan.' Yes, my name is Callan. It took my parents quite a long time to tell me the origin of my name, and I was peeved to find out that the name they gave me was out of a semi-sick joke involving my birth. I'll leave the details to your imagination, since I don't know the details as well, but apparently I was born on a street named "Callan Drive" as my mother gave birth to me in the paramedics vehicle before it even got close to the hospital. Ignoring the origin of my name just now, my thoughts continued to go haywire, 'This isn't some TV prank right? No hidden cameras? I'll be fucking pissed if that's the case. Huh, maybe I should do the right thing and return it...' The rational part of my mind soon took over and gave that suggestion, but the rumbling in my stomach overshadowed it. 'Welllllll, walking on an empty stomach isn't healthy, not when I'm sweating this much. I suppose there's no problem in borrowing a little bit of the money. Hell, I don't even know how it got lost or even how to return it.' The devil side of my conscience completely decimated the angel side. I imagined a miniature fistfight between two fat guys in a devil and angel suit in a boxing ring, forcing a small giggle out of my mouth as I stooped over to pick up the one hundred dollar bill. It didn't stick to the ground, and it didn't look counterfeit, so I figured that it was fine and I stuffed it in one of my pockets. I glanced at the various street vendors, surveying the possible greasy cuisines I could sample: hotdogs, shawarma, ice cream, churros, and etcetera. At the moment, I was feeling hungry for an all American hotdog, so I purchased two of them to eat. I ate the first one at a park bench, hiding under the shade of the tree to shield from the sun's rays, savoring the unhealthy grease and high sodium levels as it coursed legendary flavor through my mouth. There are just times when you're dying to eat some junk food, and not the fake junk food that you'll get at your resident McRonalds (tm), some real fast food that you'll get fresh off the grill at a food vendor. I picked up the second hotdog and decided to eat it along the way to the bus. Unwrapping it to reveal the steam, the delicious aroma flowed through my nostrils. Even though this one waited awhile, it was still hot and crispy as if fresh off the grill. I was about to take a bite off the hotdog until I saw a peculiar sight. A girl slumped over her own body leaning against an alleyway wall. Normally, girls are existences as common as guys (unfortunately for us men), and I would obviously ignore them. Yet, it felt as if something pulled my gaze towards the girl. Even so, she didn't look very well. Against my better judgment, I walked over to the girl with my food in hand. When I walked to the girl, I couldn't see her face, as it was bent down and covered by her black hair. She didn't look all that healthy, especially in this warm weather. "Uh, you ok there? Need me to call an ambulance?" I asked, worried about the girl's health. At first, she didn't respond, much less move. Yet, unknown to me, the smell of my hotdog wafted over to the girl's nose. The girl sniffed the air, clearly smelling something good. I at first thought her movements were some sort of spasm, though I could hear her sniffing. Even more against my much better judgment, I longingly looked at my hotdog and back at the girl, trying to decide which entity was more important. Sure, I shouldn't be selfish and it is only one hotdog. I could probably buy ninety-eight more with the money I found... On the other hand, I was still really hungry, and I was reluctant to instantly give up my food to some random strange girl I found laid against an alleyway wall who's probably suffering from this inane arid temperature. Still, this time, the angel side of my conscience won out, the fat guy in an angel suit won this round. "Uh, you want this? It's a hotdog, I already ate one so you can have this one." I suggested somewhat sorrowfully, still partially reluctant to part with that delicious, steaming vendor food. The girl finally revealed her face. The raven hair parted ways to reveal a pretty girl, probably not much older or younger than I, maybe even the same age (which is twenty going on twenty-one). The girl was Asian, most likely Chinese if I knew my ethnicities well. Her angular eyes and sharp features gave off a piercing, if not stern gaze. And even though she was slumped against the alleyway wall, not a single bit of dirt covered her face, it was almost as if she was freshly washed. The girl spoke in a strangely mystical and entrancing voice, "You will... Give me food?" I nodded enthusiastically as I reached down, placing the hotdog in the girl's hand. "Yea, I'm not anything selfish (a lie), I've got some money to spare, and so one hotdog won't trouble me at all. Don't worry!" The girl daintily accepted my gift and immediately began wolfing down the meal, as if it was the first meal after days of starving in the Sahara. "Thank... You. You are a... Good person, very... Kind." The girl didn't speak in a strange dialect, though it still had hints of her Asian ancestry in it, but she still hesitated after almost every other word. Still, that didn't chase away the fact that the girl was very pretty, and her looks almost made me perform a triple-take. I checked the time on my phone, and saw that my bus would arrive soon. If I quickened my pace, I would probably make it just in time with maybe a minute to spare. "Ah, well, I need to get going. You should probably get yourself back to your place if you're feeling this drunk." At least I thought the girl was drunk. "Please... Wait." The girl begged, though I paid her words no attention, as I needed to rush to my bus. I walked a brisk pace all the way to the bus stop, and just in time too, as people were almost finished boarding. I paid the fare with the change form the hundred I got (it was amazing that the vendor even had change for an hundred) and took a seat near the front of the bus. One more person began to board the bus behind me, though I didn't bother with paying attention as I closed my eyes to daydream. Instantly was my daydreaming interrupted. "Uh, sorry, no fare, no boarding." Gruffly said the bus driver. "But... He is on... This machine." Now THAT sounded familiar. "Can't help that, little lady. You need to pay the fare to get on the bus." Well shit, I can't leave her there. I stood up and walked over to the bus driver, "Uh, will this do for her fare? I know her, so please." This is really too troublesome. "Yea, fine, go on then." The bus driver deposited the fare and handed the Chinese girl a ticket. The girl accepted the slip of paper while constantly staring at my face for some strange reason. I turned slightly red at the girl's attention as I saw back down in my seat. And much to either my annoyance (due to the troublesome situation of the girl) or delight (due to her pretty looks), the strange girl sat down beside me, clutching the ticket in her hand. For the entire drive, neither of us spoke to each other. I did my best to avert my eyes from the girl and pay my attention to random objects outside of the windows, while the girl focused a listless stare in my direction, not once averting her eyes. I wasn't sure how to react to the girl's intense gaze. I could only hope that nothing weird erupted between our interaction. Eventually, my stop came, and I stood up to get off the bus. I calmly walked out of the bus, only to find that the girl was following me. Still ignoring the girl, I navigated the short path of sidewalks until I reached my apartment complex. I didn't look back once, though I could hear the faint steps of the girl's, which I didn't notice until now, slippers. It was when I reached the door to my particular place that I couldn't contain my annoyance anymore. "Hey! Just why the heck are you following me?" The girl kept her somber gaze fixated on me, "You... Gave me food. And you... Paid for my... Fare. I must... Thank you." Her way of speaking still seemed unnaturally strange, though it kept its entrancing feel to it. "Look, that's all well and good, but you don't need to follow me home to do that! Just wait until tomorrow and buy a hotdog for me or something. Seriously, you must have drank or smoked a heck of a lot to get like this." "I do not... Partake of... Such substances." It didn't seem like she was lying, nor did I see any other signs of inebriation on her person. "Ok then... Let's do this again, my name is Callan... What's yours?" I had to start somewhere, and it's always best to start off with introductions, even if we didn't start off with them in the first place. "My name... I do not... Remember. Ah... Take this." The Chinese girl removed an ornate pendant from her neck, it probably contained some clue to her identity. 'Wait, she doesn't remember? What the heck? Isn't that like a giant red flag that I should take her to a hospital?' Well, I didn't think of that at all at that time. I accepted the pendant and opened up. There was a picture of a snake like golden-green dragon, and in front of it, was the girl's name: Jia Fucanglong. I though it strange that in her pendant was the romanized version of her name, but what the heck, convenience is convenience. "So is your name Jia Fucanglong?" Jia nodded her head furiously, it seemed that she at least realized that that was her name. While I wasn't familiar with many Asian names, and much less Chinese ones, her name still struck the unusual cord within my brain. Still, I paid it no heed and figured that maybe it was a normal name in China. "And, well, considering there's no point in staying out here, you might as well come in if you want." The last girl I had in here was... Wait a second, not even my mom came in here before! "Thank you... Again Cahlan." Said Jia impassively. "No it's not Cahlan, it's Callan." Oh whatever, I can't force people with dialects to say my name correctly straight up. We walked in side, with both of us removing our shoes. I only took off my shoes as I found it much more comfortable walking on the carpet without shoes, Jia only took off her slippers after watching me, probably emulating my behavior. In a forced attempt to enter conversation, I muttered out, "So why were you out in that alleyway? Coming back from a party or something?" Jia responded in the same stony way as before, "I do not... Remember why... I was... There." That couldn't be good. Maybe she has a concussion or some sort of amnesia? "Well, I'll call the police or something, maybe someone's looking for you" For the first time, Jia spoke quickly, "No police! Please do not... Leave me... Here." No police huh? Well shit, this is turning out to be much more troublesome than it should be. "Well, do you remember anything? Anything before we met?" Jia tilted her head, confused. "Nothing... Ah, maybe... This?" Jia then pulled out a strange vial with a piece of tape on it. The tape had some writing on it, which I read out loud, "Nepenthe? What the heck's that?" The word 'Nepenthe' was printed on the tape in permanent ink. I had no idea what Nepenthe was, nor would I have expected what it actually did when I found out later. "Ne...Pen...The" Murmured Jia. "Eh? You know what it is?" "No... I do not. Though it... Is familiar." Maybe she really does have amnesia? Seeing no other choice in this troublesome situation, I offered Jia to stay the night if she still does not remember anything. "Thank... You, Cahlan." "It's CAL-Lan. Oh forget it. I'm going to go make something for dinner, make yourself at home." I said, slightly amused at her failed attempts to pronounce my name. Jia sat by herself on the armchair, facing the TV, though she paid the TV no attention and once again focused her gaze on my face. "You are... Giving me a... Place to sleep. And you are... Feeding... Me again. Kindness..." She said softly to herself. Jia buried her face in a nearby pillow in order to hide her tears that streamed down her face. Nepenthe - "Alright then, enjoy!" I exclaimed as I placed down dinner on the small table in my apartment. I, being taught how to cook by my annoying mother, learned how to make all sorts of meals. And this time I prepared a simple plate of bachelor's macaroni and cheese for both Jia and I. Jia didn't seem picky in the slightest, immediately grabbing the utensils and scarfing down the food. Between bites, she said, "You are... Feeding me... Again, Cahlan. Thank you." Her words seemed a bit more emotional than before, though it wasn't enough to note down in a diary. "Ah, it's no biggie. It'd be rude of me to not cook for guests. After, you can take a shower first if you want, I'll go after." I informed. "Shower? What is... That?" She seemed genuinely baffled. "You don't even know what a shower is? Don't tell me that's part of your amnesia. Whatever, I'll show you when we're done here." Which I did when we both finished off the food. Now I like to say that I have quite the appetite, though how much I usually ate paled in comparison to the gluttonous maw of Jia's. Not only did she eat all of the macaroni I didn't eat, but she also polished off all of the fruit in my fruit bowl as well as a bag of salted peanuts that I kept out as a snack. I proceeded to show Jia the shower, which not only did she not know what it was, she did not even know what a bath was, and so I was forced to show her how to turn it on and off. When I left the bathroom, I could see Jia playing with the water knobs, turning the hot and cold water on and off several times, until she finally decided on a comfortable temperature. While she bathed, I got the guestroom ready. Man, I'm really lucky. I got this large apartment for that price. Still, it was inevitable that my thoughts shifted to Jia. What a strange girl... Jia Fucanglong? Nepenthe? Huh... With those words in mind, I pulled up a chair to my laptop, which was situated on a desk in my room. Pulling up the trusty search engine, I entered in 'Jia Fucanglong'. While I didn't know what I expected, I found out what her name meant. Fucanglong, it is the name of a legendary dragon in Chinese mythology. Ha, as if that had anything to do with the situation. Then I entered in 'Nepenthe', curious as to what I would see next. Furrowing my brow, I read one of the articles the search engine brought up. Apparently, Nepenthe is a powerful amnesiac type drug, and it's not even a modern one, but an ancient drug used by the ancient Greeks. While it was silly that the vial labeled 'Nepenthe' was the actual ancient drug, it did made sense that whatever was in that vial caused Jia to lose her memories and induce amnesia in her being. If that truly was the case, just WHY? I knew instantly that Jia definitely didn't take the drug willingly, no one would. She either took the drug accidently, which was even more improbable, or someone gave her the drug with or without her knowledge, that was the most likely case that my CSI mind deducted. As I pondered the newfound knowledge, leading me to believe I got myself into a troublesome situation that was beyond worth getting into, I decided to rest in bed until Jia finished. Knowing her nature, even if by a little, I knew that she would probably make it so there was no hot water left for me to take a turn. It would be best to shower in the morning. "Cahlan..." Whispered Jia as she walked through my bedroom door, and I must stress to you, glorious is not the way to describe the way Jia looked. The girl walked in, without any coverings, naked into my room. Her hair gave off a brilliant black sheen to it, glossier than any hair product commercials that you would see on TV. Her body held a pale yellowish skin tone. Her breasts were definitely larger than average, about a double D, though I was only experience enough to give vague estimates. Her body also held lithe curves, belonging only to ethereal existences, and Jia was one of those ethereal beauties. Her sharp facial features no longer looked as harsh, but revealed an innocent side to Jia's nature. I should have known and planned ahead of time to give her some of my clothes or a towel to cover herself. I figured she would have put back on her clothes from before (which was a floral print dress with tiger lily flowers and the rest of the garment a marvelous gold)... How naive of me. "He-hey! What're you doing?" I cried weakly. "I wish... To repay you... For your... Kindness." Jia responded earnestly, she apparently had no qualms in being naked, as there was no hint of shyness in her face nor was there any hint of sluttiness. I had no way to describe her demeanor, it was infinitely stranger than any person I had come across before. "You can do that some other time! You don't have to do this for me!" I sputtered out, trying to give off some resistance. There was no way I could explain to cops that I had taken advantage of a girl under the influence of amnesia. "In other... Words, you do... Not mind... If I do... This?" Asked Jia innocently with dewy blue eyes. Blip! All resistance points gone! You may now proceed to relinquish yourself to temptation! Please enjoy yourself and have a nice day! Honestly, I had no idea how to react at this point, the only muscle that moved in my body was the one attached to my dick, which was slowly hardening from the sight of the naked Jia. At this point, the fat guy in the devil suit had completely won the match against the angel suit. Jia made the first move, as if she had done this hundreds of times even though it was her first time doing this, if that made any sense. She clamped onto my body, trying to maximize contact with me. She caressed and massaged my shoulders with her smooth hands, landing soft kisses with her moist lips along my neck and ears. I wanted to turn around and return the attention, though Jia kept me still with her strangely strong arms, fine with me anyhow. Jia nibbled on my earlobe, which caused me to shiver slightly with pleasurable sensation. She continued the massage with her soft hands, which moved around the shoulders and onto my arms occasionally. She pushed her chest into my back, which caused her soft breasts and erect nipples to poke against my body. I released a soundless gasp at Jia's actions. I was fully hard now from the contact with Jia. As if instinctively knowing this, Jia slithered around my body in order to give attention to my front side. Dragging her soft fingers down the middle of my chest, leaving a trail of goosebumps, she eventually reached my crotch where my fully erect cock was, begging for attention. She wrapped her hand around my shaft, though she didn't stroke it, merely giving the sensation of being held. Jia moved her mouth towards my head, homing onto my lips and locking them together. I failed to realize what was happening until I felt her moist lips on me, licking and sucking on my own lips and tongue which she had dragged out with her own tongue. In time, I returned the affection, administering my saliva on Jia's mouth and lips. It was quite the passionate display, one that was couple with the movements of our hands. Jia grabbed one of my hands and guided it to her large breasts, breasts that looked out of place on her smaller build, though she was all the more attractive because of it. While she teased my dick with her hand, I teased her breasts with mine. I lightly pushed and squeezed Jia's tits with my hands as we continued to kiss with increasing salacity. Releasing the kiss, I moved my lips down to Jia's tits. Jia arched her back and mewled softly into the air as she received the incoming throbs of pleasure from her seemingly sensitive breasts. I kissed and licked around one of the fleshy orbs, though not in a sloppy manner. I applied the same attention to both breasts, and when my head switched, I attacked her nipples with my fingers. Jia couldn't help but instinctively react to the pleasure, which forced her hand to move more around my shaft. Her thumb applied pressure on the sensitive head of my cock, rubbing around the various bundles of nerves. The rest of her fingers tickled and traced patterns around the length of my dick, sending weird, but gratifying, tingles through my spine. My crotch slowly got sweaty and slick with precum, partially due to the hot night and mainly because of Jia's skilled fingers. Jia pushed me on my back with her weirdly strong hands, forcing me on my back. As I looked over, I could see Jia crawling over to my shaft like a cat pouncing on its new toy. With my upright member, Jia pulled the shaft back and licked it from base to head with her heavenly tongue. My mind was wracked with pleasure. Jia groped and fondled my balls while she paid attention to the sensitive head with her tongue and lips. Not once did she bring my shaft into her mouth during this process, it was as if Jia was making the point that she could make me cum anytime I wanted with her tongue only. She coiled her tongue around the base of the head, touching every pleasure point that existed in that area and then some. Jia slid her tongue up and down my length, working her oral skills to the absolute max, it was long until she made me climax, so I made that known to her. "Hah... I'm going to cum soon if you keep that up." Encouraged, Jia licked my balls a couple times, as if they were jawbreakers, while taking one into her mouth and sucking on it lightly. That did it... With that final sensation in mind, I couldn't help but burst over Jia's pretty face, painting her white. Ropes of my sticky white semen. It was quite an erotic sight, a pretty girl with my cum splattered over her face, it didn't seem like it could fit her but it worked. "May we... Continue?" Asked Jia, sweetly. There's going to be more? Well of course there will be, we haven't even done it yet... I can't tell if I lucked out today or un-lucked out. "Do not worry. I will... Not get... heavy with child." Said Jia in her ever innocent and entrancing voice. Ok fuck it, I lucked out. Complete angelic conscience withdrawn and complete devil take over complete! As if possessed, I went on the offensive. I pushed Jia over onto her side and lifted up her leg, which I placed over my shoulder. Jia didn't resist, though she guided my cock towards her damp pussy, clearly ready to be penetrated. And penetrate I did, pushing my still hard shaft into her pussy. Considering I don't masturbate as often as most guys, that's probably the main reason why my dick stayed erect after climaxing. It felt really good, for lack of a better way to describe it, all I could feel was a tight wet sensation around my cock as it slowly made its way through Jia's pussy. "Ah... More please, harder..." Moaned Jia, and for the first time, I saw her face contorted into something other than blankness, a face twisted, in a good way, by bliss. Her hand darted towards the top of her pussy. Where she uncovered her clitoris and began rubbing it fervently in order to exponentially increase the pleasure. Despite being a quiet girl, Jia's moans couldn't help but escape her mouth, and the room was filled with the sounds and smell of sex. I continually pushed my way into Jia's wet snatch; each time I hit her womb's entrance. Jia's other free hand went to her breasts, which she began to pinch and play with in order to increase the ever growing amount of pleasure. I could feel her walls clamping down on my cock each time I retracted in order to thrust in again, attempting to milk me for more of my cum. I reached down and scooped up Jia with my arms, causing her chest to bounce into mine when I picked her up. In this position, I was thrusting into her pussy as I held her in the air. I jabbed with all my might, my cock deep into Jia's sweaty sex, causing her to moan frequently with each thrust. Jia's legs wrapped around my lower body and clamped down, unwilling to let go for any reason. Her breasts bounced enticingly as I looked down, jiggling all of the soft fat located there. Soon, I lowered Jia down onto the bed so that I could fuck her while I was on top and she was lying down on the bed, the tables were turned. Her legs, though loosened, were still wrapped tightly around my body. Her body shook uncontrollably as she, I assumed and was soon confirmed, climaxed. "Ah! I am..." Jia couldn't even finish her sentence as she felt herself getting filled far more than several seconds ago. I came again, deep into her wet folds, past her womb's entrance, and into the back of her pussy. "So... Warm! You are... Filling me... With your seed." Exclaimed Jia in a strange mix of monotony and ecstasy. Unable to control her desire, Jia lavished my head with her lips and tongue, fanatically kissing almost everywhere her lips could reach... She's unusually affectionate. "Cahlan... May I make... A... Selfish request?" Whispered Jia into my ears. I was in no position to refuse. My ability to comprehend the situation had been completely decimated by the afterglow and lust from doing Jia. "Please... Protect me..." It almost seemed as if Jia was sobbing. Protect? Oh yea... "Yea, of course... So tired." I mumbled, completely unaware of what I just agreed to, as I soon fell asleep in Jia's embrace. Jia smiled and kissed my forehead once more, "Good night... Kind person." Once I was asleep, Jia deftly lifted herself up out of bed, holding a hand against the flesh in front of her womb. She could still feel his warmth inside her. She wouldn't get pregnant. A being of her stature wouldn't get pregnant unless she wanted to. Though Jia did not know that, yet she instinctively knew that she wouldn't get pregnant. She tried hard to remember, though none of her memories returned to her. All she could feel was a faint cry to herself, pleading with herself to escape and find refuge until she may strike back. While she now knew her name, thanks to my looking inside the pendant, she still didn't know what she was. The pendant that was around her neck was located on my dresser, which I put there. Jia walked over to it and picked it up. She wasn't sure if she wanted or didn't want to open it up, though she eventually decided not to. Her memories would come in due time. Deciding there was nothing more to do, Jia placed herself back in my bed, satisfied that I would protect her... I had no idea what I was getting into at that time. - That night, I dreamed of an epic sight, and not epic in the sarcastic sense. In the clear blue skies littered with a few wispy clouds, were glorious dragons of varying colors flying through the sky, flying in complete harmony with each other. The dragons came in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Some of them looked like the normal type of dragon you'd see in your everyday fantasy book, large body, four stubbly limbs, grand wings, sweeping tail, wicked horns, and a wise face. Other dragons resembled the Lyndworms of Viking lore, smaller and with their wings replacing their front limbs. And it didn't stop there. In the background, several active volcanoes were going off, sending high temperatures into the air around me. While I was apparently in no danger, it still scared me even though this was a dream. From each volcano, a bright and scorching beam shot up into the air, as if contacting the heavens. It was an infinitely captivating spectacle. While I viewed the sight a painter wished he could capture, I laid back peacefully against a golden-green set of scales. I was leaning against a slim dragon that looked infinitely fiercer than any of the ones in the skies. Though as fierce as it was, it seemed restful and happy that I was near it, and so I was. The dragon snorted fire through its nostrils as it watched me fall asleep against its body. It coiled its slim and tubular body around me, with its wings covering top form any rain or snow as it too, and fell into a deep sleep. - 'Knock Knock' I could hear sharp raps on the door of my apartment as I left the bathroom, freshly washed and clothed. When I got out of bed this morning, I was initially surprised to find Jia in my bed, clinging on to me tightly. I tried my best to get out and I eventually succeeded. God, I am so screwed if she gets back her memories and she decides that I took advantage of her. I walked over to the door and peered through the hole, looking to see who was there. Two men in tacky suits out of place in this time of day were standing there patiently. One of them was wiping his brow clean of sweat. Apparently not even G-Men were immune to the summer days. 'They seem authoritative; perhaps they were looking for Jia? Wait... Wouldn't that be a bad thing?' I thought that as I opened the door to the two men. "Uh, hello. Can I help you?" I inquired slowly, still tired from the morning's lull. "Yes, my name is Agent Daniels and this is Kerry, and yes you can. We are looking for this girl." Said one of the men as he pulled up a photo of a certain someone located in my bedroom. They also flashed their seemingly unaltered IDs in front of my face. "She escaped custody earlier and we are trying to find her. As we have no clue as to where she is, we are asking anyone to see if they had any hints of her. Do you?" Fuck... Still, putting on my best poker face, I replied earnestly, "I haven't seen her... Though I think I might've saw someone like her yesterday at Arrow Street. Well, someone like her, my memory is a bit hazy. Y'know, I had little to drink the other day and I don't do too well drunk in the heat... Damn hangover." I must have been very convincing with my acting, even though I was only an extra in a single high school play, as the two men looked at each other and nodded. "Thank you for your cooperation, please keep an eye out and inform the authorities if you see this girl. Remember, she is dangerous and may resort to violence." The two men left and I closed the door behind them. 'Shit... SHIT! Just what the heck did I do? Did I really just lie to an officer of the law? I am so fucked...' I clasped my head as I recounted the screw up I just made. 'Wouldn't that be like... Twenty years in prison or something? So much for my job!' "They are... Bad. I know... It." Said that damnable girl from last night and the one the two agents were looking for, Jia Fucanglong. "Huh? They're police officers, and not normal ones at that." The IDs flashed through my head again, I forgot a crucial detail, the name of the branch the men were working for, the FBI... Shhhhhiiiiiit! "No... I know... They are bad." Jia seemed truly troubled. "Eh, did some of your memories come back?" "I am sorry... No they... Did not." Sigh. "Nothing we can do about it now. Uh, Jia, what are you wearing?" I asked, troubled by what article of clothing the girl chose to cover herself with. "Is it... Not suitable? I am... Wearing... Some of your... Clothes. Is that... Bad?" Jia looked up at me with an innocent expression. That face of hers... It's deadlier than a nuke. "Fine, we'll need to get some clothes for you. Thank god I got my paycheck. No, this day and yesterday, that guy has entirely abandoned me to the point where I would worship false idols with vigor." My joke went right through one of Jia's ears and out the other. "Eh? False... Idols?" "Ahhhh, just ignore that. Right, here, wear these. They'll at least fit you until we get you to a clothing store." I handed her some clothes that looked like they would fit her, which they did marvelously, and I went out the door with Jia close behind. - "You really chose some expensive ones... Well, if the guy is paying, any girl probably would." I said half heartedly to both Jia and I as we walked through the mall. Nepenthe The mall we went to was a popular one, with three floors consisting of numerous clothing stores, food shops, mall kiosks, and many more. I led Jia to a particular women's clothing store and let her follow her instincts in choosing clothes. "You gave... Me clothing... Your kindness... Is overwhelming." Jia said to me as we sat down on a bench. While Jia did choose some expensive pieces, she did not choose very many, apparently aware of my money situation, well, that's better than buying a lot. I certainly wouldn't want to carry too much. She wore a golden green loose shirt with matching colored denim pants, along with a new pair of comfortable shoes. There was another bag of clothing, which I carried around with us. "Well, how about some food?" Before I finished, I already guessed what Jia would say. "You are... Giving... Me more food? Such... Kindness." Jia marveled. Yup, I was right on the money. "Uh, of course I am. I'm hungry too, c'mon, let's choose what to get." I escorted Jia through the food court, she swiveled her head at every sight. It was painfully clear she had never been in such a place, probably not even before her memories were erased. After explaining what each place sold, Jia promptly requested, "One of... Each." I couldn't help but laugh a little, "L-look, that'd be way too expensive in the first place. Let's get some Wubsay (tm), that'll prove interesting enough to watch you choose what to eat." Which it did, as Jia walked through the line, the server had to frequently get her attention in order to place her order. Jia's attention was grabbed the numerous array of ingredients which could go in the sandwich. With my help, Jia eventually decided on what to eat. As we sat down, I could see drool drip out of Jia's mouth as she eyed the food. If one didn't know her situation, spectators could have mistaken her for some one mentally damaged... Wait a second, that might be a possibility. Ignoring the rude thought in my head, I spoke to Jia between our bites, "I think I might know something about your situation. I looked up your name online and found it related to a certain Chinese dragon named Fucanglong, the Dragon of Treasure. That ring any bells?" While I seriously doubted it, Jia twitched her head into a thoughtful position not all that far from the famous 'Thinker'. "Fucanglong... My name... It seems... Familiar. Dragon of... Treasure? Agh..." Jia's head jerked painfully, as a small whimper escaped her mouth. "Huh? You okay? Do you remember anything?" I moved my hand over to Jia in order to support her head. Jia breathed heavily and reported, "No... I see nothing. Sorry, Cahlan." "Cal-lan... Well, as long as if you're okay, then I guess everything is fine. Still, don't worry me like that." I said honestly. I barely knew Jia, but it was natural to be worried about someone. Jia stared straight into my eyes with her own mesmerizing blue eyes and said happily, "You care... About me. Thank... You." Beamed the girl. I couldn't help but blush. Jia, while I tried to not believe it, obviously cared about me far more than I did, even though we had only just met the other day. Hell, we even had sex because of her initiating it, and I was still skeptical at the events that had transpired since. Jia, interested in hearing more asked, "Do you... Know anything... Else?" Ah yes, Nepenthe. "Yea, I also looked up the word on that vial you showed me, Nepenthe. It's an extremely powerful and ancient drug that gave people amnesia. If there actually was such a substance in that vial, I suspect that you were given that drug in order to hide away your memories." Jia's head twitched again. "Again?" "I... Do remember... Something." Jia said weakly as she stared downwards. Score! "Really? That's great! So what do you remember?" Excited was one way to describe my manner; inflamed would be another. "Nepenthe... I was... Given that... Stuff. Along with... Several others." Jia's words, while shaky, still held an entrancing and mystical flavor to it. "They wanted to... Control us. No... No... No, no, no, NO!" Jia clutched her head again, what remembered was not pleasant. I held Jia up with my arms as she began to tear up. Her body seemed to emit a cold energy, though I dismissed it off as the A/C being turned up in the building. For several long minutes, we stayed like this: Jia sobbing on my chest and I holding her. This scene, to others, would seem like two lovers encountering a sad moment in their life. When I thought she was finished, I whispered to Jia empathetically, "Hey, nothings going to happen. You're not being controlled at all, I definitely won't let that happen." Screw being fucked over in a troublesome situation, when a guy sees a girl crying, they sure as heck are going to help her out or they're not worthy to live. "You will not... Let them... Take me?" Jia looked up at my face with her dewy blue eyes. Fat guy in an angel suit, I'm all yours. "Definitely not." I meant it. - A week had passed since that trip to the mall. I still went to work like usual, collecting the paycheck and taking every opportunity to make more money possible. Thanks to me not attending college yet, I still had plenty of cash in my savings, and could easily pay for all the necessities for keeping a girl in my place. Speaking of which, I never realized that such a situation could be so stimulating. Due to Jia's naive nature, she didn't understand how most things worked or even how to act normally, and thus, she frequently shed certain articles of clothing at seemingly random points in time. - One time, the two of us went grocery shopping, which turned out to be extremely entertaining, for everyone watching. It went like this: "Hey, uh, Jia?" "Yes?" "You do realize that you're not supposed to open boxes of food until we pay for them?" Jia was currently eating a box of crackers in the aisle we were in. Thankfully, no one was in the aisle with us and I closed the box up and put it back, hoping that nobody noticed. "Ah... What about... Bags of food?" She asked as she reached for a bag of potato chips. "No, no, we don't open any containers of food until we pay for them. That's just how stores like this operate (well, its how ALL stores operate)." "These stores... Are not as... Kind as you. I dislike... This place." Jia crossed her arms crossly with a cute frown on her face. - Of course, that wasn't all of what happened, though it was still annoying to deal with. Even so, I still had fun with Jia teaching how to live like a normal person, considering she was anything but. On another day, I saw Jia intently staring at my TV. That's right, I never did turn it on once since the day I met Jia. I turned it on for her with the remote control while I was out of sight from Jia. The TV turned on, with loud volume, to an old western film that was currently in the middle of a gunfight. The sudden noise and images coming from the TV surprised Jia, who immediately jumped and almost fell over from the back of the chair she was in. She reflexively pulled up a throw pillow over her face and hid herself from the gaze of the TV. It was almost cruel of me, though I still laughed silently to myself at Jia's reaction. Peering over the pillow, Jia vigilantly stared at the TV, and like a cat, she followed the individual movements of the actors on the screen. It was a classic situation where a naive being meets technology for the first time. In fact, Jia instantly had trouble with every electronic or mechanical device that she came across. Yet the even stranger thing was, when I taught her about the device in question and how to use it, it was as if the problem cleared up and she instantly knew how to utilize the device. Talk about a prodigy among prodigies. And not once since our first time, did we have sex. Jia did try to initiate it more times than I could count on all of my digits, yet I stopped her each time. Why I did that was not because I was a prude or I found Jia unattractive, I had a much more honest reason. I refused to have sex with Jia until she could at least understand her situation. I wanted her to realize who she was, and if she continued to want to be with me, then I would agree with it. Sadly, before that could happen, she needed to regain her memories lost by that potent drug, Nepenthe. Though how could I continue with that? I already had a possibility in mind, her pendant. - It was on the ninth day since I met Jia that I showed her the pendant. Originally, I thought nothing would happen, considering she had the pendant with her since before I met her, though it didn't seem like she even knew the pendant was with her at that time. "Alright, so you haven't looked on the inside of this pendant yet?" I asked Jia. The pendant in question held Jia's name as well as a picture of an inspiring golden dragon. If I thought more carefully, the picture of the dragon in the pendant looked very similar to the dragon "Fucanglong" I looked up online. It was just a hunch, but it seemed to weird for Jia's name to also have Fucanglong in her name, it wasn't even among the list of normal Chinese names. "Not yet... Cahlan." Said Jia in her normal voice. No matter how times I corrected her, she could never get my name right. "Eh, well no point in wasting time, open it up and look." I handed Jia the pendant. Jia seemed slightly troubled when receiving the pendant, for reasons unknown to me at the time. Eventually, while holding the pendant, Jia's hand shook so much, that it flipped out and landed on the floor. "I am... Sorry. I cannot... Hold that... Thing." I couldn't understand Jia's hesitance, though I knew better than to force the issue. "Uh, ok, well it's no biggie. Here, how about I hold it up for you and you can look inside? That way you don't have to hold it." Man, my compassion and empathy... I could win a Nobel Peace Prize. "Please... Do." Nodding my head, slowly, I picked up the pendant and opened it up. Just like before, Jia's name was printed in romanized letters instead of Chinese characters. They were printed in front of that odd golden dragon. Hesitating several seconds while Jia waited patiently, I slowly pulled the pendant in front of her eyes, letting her gaze on the inside of the pendant. Her eyes instantly locked on to the pendant, and with unblinking or unwavering eyes, Jia stared at the pendant for a long while. Her hand went up to the pendant, but began to shake again as it got close. Her face contorted curiously, and I couldn't help but feel empathetic, even though I had no idea what I was feeling empathetic for. Yet, one thing in particular stood out, and quite literally at that. A scaled, golden, and shiny tail stood upright in the air. It took one minute and seventeen seconds exactly for me to look away and comprehend what I was seeing. Jia didn't notice it. She was still staring intently at the pendant. I rubbed my eyes with my free hand and slapped my face a little bit. At first, I thought I unintentionally took some sort of hallucinogenic brownie or mushroom. There's no way that a random golden lizard tail could pop out in front of my face? I opened my eyes again, and the sight of the golden tail remaining squashed my hopeful delusions. I dropped the pendant and fell to the ground. Man, let me tell you, fainting is NOT fun. - "Cahlan... Please open... Your eyes!" A desperate voice cried out to me, the me who was still asleep. I tried to open my eyes, but they refused. I tried to look ahead, but they still wouldn't open. I took a step forward-squish! Something slimy and slippery decorated the ground. Another step was taken, only to find that I hit hard rock. "Hello?" I asked, to anything that may be out there. "Hello." Replied a voice that seemed like Jia's, but wasn't. Where I once stood, and where I was standing on now, belonged to a vast golden dragon. Unlike most dragons, this one had a long slim body, somewhat akin to a snake with limbs and a face of a lion. Though it was slimmer than dragons I've seen in fiction, this one was still large, bigger than school bus. It had a brilliant array of glittery scales covering practically every inch of the dragon's body, like a set of lavish armor. "Who are- Are you Jia?" I asked with a polite voice that should have been replaced with fear considering my situation. I didn't notice, but my eyes were not pried open to their widest point before they returned to normal. "Mhm, yes. My name... Is Jia Fucanglong. A dragon... Famously known... As the Dragon... Of Treasure." Because of my dazed state, I didn't know which end the words were coming from. Going with my gut instinct, I turned left, and luckily came to the top of the dragon's head. "You can't possibly be Jia..." I was calmer than ever before, even more so that after thirty minutes in a massage chair. It was a strange feeling, one that I would never forget. "You are right. I am not... Jia Fucanglong... I am only Fucanglong." "Uh..." "The Jia Fucanglong... You know, cannot... Possibly be me... Yet." The dragon spoke very softly on the last word, soft to the point where I couldn't hear him. "Ah... Our time seems to... Be up. I look... Forward to speaking to you... Again." ----- -Nepenthe- Part two. I opened my eyes to see a body sitting over me with a noisy, crying face. Somehow, Jia had transported me to my bed, where I was now sleeping with my clothes off and sheets on. Jia, like with her normal naive behavior, was currently unclothed and sitting besides me, acting like a nurse. I was too tired to react to Jia's current display. Her breasts were poking into my side, and as if the blanket was intangible, I could feel her soft, warm flesh radiating through the sheets. Jia's tired and teary face looked very cute. There was no way I could deny that. Normally, I'd push her off, as the temptation to do something "fun" would be too great. Though I felt no desire do push her off or feel her up, I merely wanted to be in contact with the beautiful girl who was slowly going to sleep on top of me. Really, what's up with me? I saw the time- thirty minutes till eleven at night. I was out for several hours. Smiling warmly, I stroked Jia's head, which resulted in a cute mewl from her sleeping face. She brushed up tighter against me, and I covered her up with the blankets in order to keep her warm, and I soon fell asleep next to Jia. - "Sir... You're really sending those three out there?" "I've no other choice. We've searched for more than a week in this city and we haven't found her! We know she's still here. Her power still resonates in the city. And while we know she's here, we can't pinpoint her location!" "I know sir, but-" "As I say, we've no other choice but to release some of... Them. That red one, Y Ddraig Goch, or however you pronounce it... The snake girl, Apophis... And that water one, Yinglong." "Maybe so sir, though may I object to the choices of the test subjects you wish to send out?" "Objection noted... Though I will still send them out. Y Ddraig Goch is our most loyal test subject. She'll do well in taking her down with her skills. Apophis, while violent, is good at ferreting out her fellow test subjects out. And Yinglong will also be out there in case Fucanglong decides that the water is her haven." "Yes sir... Still, what if the test subjects regain some of their memories outside? We have no quantity of Nepenthe left to inject the subjects with." "That is why we MUST get back Fucanglong. She is the only one still in contact with 'those' people. If she regains enough of her memories, it'll be impossible to get her back unless we acquire more Nepenthe. We wasted too much on the rest of the subjects only to find that Fucanglong is the only one still in contact. We must prioritize her above all else. A decent amount of the subjects have been indoctrinated well, and will serve as powerful assets for our supernatural military, though we still need to contact 'them...'" - It is morning. I had just finished making breakfast for Jia who was now getting up, finally, and walking towards the table. Her raven hair swayed behind her and there was a hint of fatigue on her body. I was honestly surprised, it was the first time Jia was wearing clothes in the morning without me having to tell her to put them on, we're making good progress. "Cahlan... I remember... Something." Murmured Jia. I opened my eyes a little wider, "Really? Like what?" "Nepenthe... I was not... The only... One to take... That vile... Substance. They forced it... On my sisters... As well." Jia said ominously. I contemplated the new information. Those government suits, apparently they not only gave this memory loss drug to Jia, but to some relatives of her as well. I didn't know how well Jia's new memories could be correct, but I decided that I was solely on her side. There was no way in hell that I would let those suits take her. What would possess them to even give her a drug like that in the first place? Just what is so important about her? I knew that the answers to those two questions lied in the depths of her memories. A memory of tears... "Well, do you think your sisters would be out there in the city like I found you?" "No... I remember... That I was... The only... One to escape." Jia was staring at me solemnly, with her ever monotone expression on her face. "Shit, well, I figured maybe we could find these sisters of yours and bring them back here... Though I would have no idea what to do then. Not like I can take care of more of you. Still, I'll do my best to help out your sisters." "Cahlan... Your overflowing... Kindness... Will find... A way. I believe... In you." She trusts me way too much. Well, she's not wrong. I am very determined to find a way to help her sisters out. Still, what can one man, who just became assistant manager at a local electronics store, do against government agents? I'm baffled at my own confidence from before. Still, for some reason, I felt like it would work out. "You do... So much for... Me. Yet I... Do nothing... For you. Please let me... Do... That." Jia stumbled over to me in a comically pathetic manner. "Weh? Uh, do what?" I stammered back. "Ah... Please do not... Make me... Say it. It is... Embarrassing." Jia turned to the side and blushed, that's a new face I haven't seen. Though I knew exactly what she was talking about, I couldn't help but be slightly surprised. Sure, she's come on to me before and I have done it with her before, though it still amazes me that she is so willing to relinquish her body like this. Honestly, I can't resist anymore. I wanted to not do this until she regained her full set of memories, but it seems like my mind has other ideas. Jia latched her hands on my chest as she looked up at my face with her captivating blue eyes. Shit, yea, I'm doing this. Before I could maneuver my hands, Jia started pulling off my shirt. Already the heat of the morning was getting me, as some beads of sweat dripped down. I allowed Jia to undress the rest of me on the couch, which I immediately began doing the same to her once she finished. Her large bust bounced around once I pulled her shirt over her shoulders. Being a member of the male faction, I of course loved Jia's large tits. Even so, her size looked out of place on her body, yet that also added to her alluring charms. Which are many, mind you. I stared intently at Jia's body, practically memorizing every curve and bump. As a result, my dick became hard in no time at all, which Jia eyed with lascivious intent. Nepenthe "Please allow... Me." Jia said happily as she reached for my shaft. However, I had other plans. I grabbed Jia's hand and pulled her to me, bringing her face to mine. I noticed that I never really bothered to attempt to kiss her before, at least not on her lips. Just what am I missing out on here? I forcefully applied my mouth on Jia, licking and sucking on her lovely set of luscious lips. Jia was initially surprised at my aggressiveness, but soon melted into pace and squeezed against my body while returning the kiss. Her tongue seemed long, at least longer than mine, so it licked its way into my mouth carrying her saliva along with it. Jia was unusually receptive and vocal. Little bits of moans and mewls of different notes escaped her mouth every so often as she practically melted herself onto my body. Her voice was as cute as always, not even a box of kittens can match this. I pushed Jia down onto the bed where I began to maul her body with my hands and lips. I never said I was an expert, but I still tried to match what I did with Jia's most sensitive reactions. As such, Jia's breasts were sensitive, but not to an extreme degree. Still, I pinched and pushed on her nipples while kissing and licking her earlobes, leaving a strand of saliva dropping down onto her neck. Jia, with no object to muffle her voice, released a long, satisfied whimper of pleased proportions. Her usually stern voice was twisted in an erotic display of sweat, rolled back eyes, and panting lips. It was quite hot, even at night, so I was sweating also. Still, when I was in contact with Jia, my body seemed to cool down automatically. I pulled back and placed my hands on Jia's legs, which I massaged for at least a minute. Then I lifted them up to reveal her tender lips between her legs. They were already somewhat wet, so I decided to make it even more so. Bringing my fingers to Jia's snatch, I teased the outside lips by caressing and teasing the softness. I circled the region with my middle finger, tracing a concentric pattern throughout Jia's labia. I took my time to locate Jia's most sensitive spot, just under the hood of her nether lips. Instead of just rubbing and applying pressure her clitoris, I brought my head down and licked the sensitive bundle of nerves. I could taste her juices, which I found was to my liking considering its sweetness. Savoring her taste, I lavished more attention on Jia's pussy with my tongue and lips, eating her out with all my worth as a man. Even though Jia was writhing in pleasure just from my eating her out, there was a spot where she was even more sensitive, which I remembered from when we last had sex: the area just inside her pussy where fingers, a tongue, or my shaft could reach easily. My tongue, eventually wormed its way inside of Jia's pussy, tasting her sweeter than sugar juices all around. I could see Jia clutching the bed sheets with a grip of iron, her eyes clamped shut, and her tongue lazily languishing outside of her mouth as she breathed heavily... She was obviously enjoying herself. Success! I wasn't too confident in my oral abilities, but it seems I had the knack. My tongue licked around the inside of Jia's wet walls, pushing back the flesh in the more receptive areas. Jia had barely any air in her lungs to release more moans of joy, so what came out sounded like a hoarse moan that one would have when they are sick. I could faintly hear these words from Jia, "Cahlan... I am... Cumming... Thanks to... Your kind tongue." As I thrust my tongue as deeply as possible into Jia, I pushed against her nether lips with my own set of lips, pushing them open so that I may better give the attention Jia deserves. Still, while I very much wanted to continue giving Jia this attention, I had my own needs to take care of, namely my erection that was sported since second one of our contact together. "Hey, Jia, I'm going to put it in now." I warned as I stood up and lined my shaft with Jia's wet snatch. I rubbed the entrance several times with the head of my cock, lubing it up and coating it with Jia's warm juices. "Push it... In, Cahlan." Then Jia said a word that I never expected from her, "Please, Cahlan... Fuck me hard..." I felt as if my cock became even harder at Jia's words. She had never cussed before, and so hearing that particular word in this environment aroused me greatly. Before I knew myself, I had shoved my dick deep into Jia's pussy, putting in more than half of my shaft in at once. Immediately, I began to perform the generic set of pelvic thrusts into Jia's entrance, fucking her hard like she asked. Both of us were feeling quite hot, from the heat of our bodies, the friction from our movements, the warmth of the night, and the glow from our feelings. Jia's voice, which was hindered by a lack of air, suddenly breathed in and began to squeal and whimper from the sudden onrush of sensations. Her arms flailed around until they met mine, which were holding me up on the bed. Jia's touch, even though I was already feeling warm, intensified my own thoughts. The silky skin of her fingers and palms fell on my hands like snowflakes, quite unrealistic for this season. I could feel Jia's inner walls contract and squeeze my shaft for all the semen inside, milking it quite effectively. It was as if my member was made to fit Jia's pussy, if I may be so arrogant as to say that. Every single time my cock passed through Jia's inner walls, especially around the sensitive bundle of nerves near her entrance, Jia released a pleased gasp. Jia's face was contorted by a look of ecstasy. Jia's legs were lifted over my shoulders. So when I bent down, while still thrusting into her amazingly tight pussy, to kiss her, Jia's legs bent down behind her shoulders. When I got into this position, Jia's breasts were squashed between our chests with her nipples poking into my skin, adding another pleasurable source of stimulation for the both of us. Jia received my kiss with a willing embrace, thrusting her tongue as far as possible into my mouth. Her eyes were open for once, though still slanted due to her Chinese looks, staring straight at my own set of eyes. Her deep blue orbs that rested in her sockets seemed to stare straight into my heart with a warm embrace. Her raven colored hair was all over the place, some on her face and the rest scattered over the bed as it coated like a blanket made of satin. Her smooth skin, that touched my body, emanated warmth that affected my very being. Jia reached with her arms and placed them over my back. She whispered into my left ear, "Cahlan..." Jia tried to say something more, but she was interrupted as both of us were entering the state of climax. Sudden rapturous bliss pierced our minds like lightning bolts did to a lightning rod. I grunted in pleasure semi-quietly, as usual, though Jia on the other hand screamed out loud. Her scream was a mix of her usual monotonous voice with her sweet orgiastic words that she had in the previous minutes of our copulation. However one could describe it, I released my last ropes of semen to her voice. Jia's orgasm flowed around my shaft, mixing with my own seed that was somewhere in Jia's tightness. I kept my shaft inside Jia's walls, savoring the afterglow. Jia kissed me one more time before we melted into each other's arms and soon fell asleep. - The hot day passed quietly, as I worked at the electronics store filled with customers. I was currently stocking up the displays with the sale items for the day when a very strange event happened. Jia was still at home, probably gorging herself on the various foodstuffs I purchased the other day, so I was slightly worried. Those G-Men types visited my house the day after meeting Jia, what if they came back? Well, I would soon find out that it wasn't the suits who would make their move, but someone else. "Find yourself a girl yet?" A man asked the typical question he asked me practically everyday. While I was annoyed with him when he continually asked me the question, I soon learned to joke around each time he did. "Eh, well... I don't you if you'd call her a girlfriend, but..." The man, a coworker whom I joked around with often at the store replied with a surprised expression, "What? Seriously? You're not tootin' my horn here are you?" "I'm not- No I'm bloody hell not tooting your horn! That sounds much more gay when you say it. And I did find myself a girl, though she's not my girlfriend." "No kidding, 'achoo!' Ah, sorry, I'm allergic to bullshit." I placed a hand on my coworker's shoulder and deadpanned, "You're right, the bullshit is that she isn't my girlfriend. She actually is. Well, in all seriousness, I quite like her, even though she is the strangest person I've met." "Hmm, usually when a guy says something along those lines, they're pretty smitten." I'm smitten huh? Yea, that might be the case... Brushing off my coworker's strange comment I ordered, "I'm using my authority as assistant manager to order you back to work." My coworker rolled his eyes and made an exaggerated hand movement, which I learned in the past that he used it to say "Fuck Off" in a sarcastic sense. I continued to stock the displays, until a girl approached me. I at first assumed she was looking for help, "May I help you today to find anything, miss?" The girl licked her lips weirdly, "Yesss. I'm looking for my sssissster. Ssshe'sss lossst sssomewhere." What a strange speech impediment. "What's her name? I can go use the intercom to call her up to customer service." I offered the utmost politeness and grace. "Her name isss... Fucanglong." The girl said flatly. Uh oh, I've got a bad premonition of things to come. I frowned immediately, "Who are you? How do you know Jia?" I was too eager to find out who this girl was to realize my mistake in revealing that I actually knew where Jia was. "Ssso it'sss true. I knew I sssmelled her ssscent on you. Tell me where my sssissster isss, or I will act upon my hunger." The girl in question was undoubtedly a beauty. The self-proclaimed sister of Jia would be considered a beauty on the level of Jia, though I still preferred Jia's looks. She was tanned, or more specifically, her skin was the same shade of those who lived in Northern Africa, probably Egypt, if not a bit darker. She reminded me of some sort of regal wife of an ancient Egyptian pharaoh, though I knew that was impossible... Was it? "You're her sister?" Jia did mention something about her and her sisters being given that Nepenthe drug, perhaps it was the same with this girl? "Were you given a drug to erase your memories called Nepenthe?" "You are in no posssition to asssk quessstionsss here, boy. I am getting hungrier, tell me where my sssissster Fucanglong isss, now!" Demanded the girl, scary. "Why should I? What will you do with her?" I asked hesitantly. I knew Jia wanted to find her sisters, though somewhere in my body, something about this girl stroke a bad chord. "As she just said, boy, you are in no position to ask questions." A new voice entered the scene. A girl with a short head of flaming red hair walked up behind me, trapping me from running away. This new presence was also undoubtedly a beauty on Jia's levels. If I had to guess, this girl was somewhere of Welsh descent. Perhaps all of Jia's sisters were of some random ethnicity? I assumed that both girls were Jia's sisters... Just how many sisters did that girl have? "I'm hungry, don't get in the way of my feassst, Ddraig." The Egyptian girl warned, though she seemed notably more timid that before. "We need this boy alive. He obviously knows something of Fucanglong's whereabouts, Apophis." The girl, whose strange name was Ddraig, warned the girl who also had the strange name of Apophis. Wait a second... I recognize these names. About several days back, a mental itch in my mind demanded me to research dragons. While I didn't look up much, I did see the names of these two. Just like the name Fucanglong, Ddraig, Apophis, and this other Yinglong were all names of notable dragons from history. Just what are these girls? "Boy, tell us where Fucanglong is, and I can assure you that you will not perish to Apophis' ravenous appetite." Ddraig said passively with a hint of malice. I don't want to be eaten... Thankfully, my shift for the day was almost over, and my boss was the type that didn't care if we left ten or fifteen minutes earlier than the actual time. If they truly are Jia's sisters, perhaps I should bring them to her? No, I could tell that peaceful intentions were not on the minds of these girls. I can't bring them back to Jia. I've got to lose them somehow. And I knew how. My male coworker from earlier once, accidently, started a fire in the store. I somehow managed to cover up for him and helped him avoid any suspicion. This illegal act made him swear to me that he would one day repay the favor, no matter how drastic my favor would be (as long as if violence isn't in the favor). I looked him in the eye as he walked over to man a register. He saw my eye and the two beauties besides me. Like a cartoon character, his mouth gaped open. Ignoring his surprise, I subtly made the hand motion that signaled for an employee to pull the fire alarm. He looked at me with eyes of wonderment, asking me through, fake, telepathic communication if I was insane. I mouthed, 'Do it, man! You owe me remember.' He looked downwards and upwards in contemplation before nodding his head. He must have known I would not have asked for this unless I really needed it, which he did. He thought this, (Huh, those two women must be bad or something. You wouldn't have used my favor to call a fire alarm for a normal escape, this is probably something serious.) Man, thank you so much for your intuition. "Fine, since I have no choice here, I'll bring you to Jia... Fucanglong." I said with my best acting. Ddraig nodded while Apophis moaned in her hunger. I began walking out of the sliding doors, ready to take action when the fire alarm went off, which it did. A large blare rung out through the building, the fire alarm went off. First there was silence, and the next second was the traditional screaming and panic people usually had in a crisis. The consumers rushed past us, knocking Apophis and Ddraig around. They were caught off guard and stumbled in opposite directions. Here I go! Taking advantage of the panic, I rushed out of the building along with the crowd. I couldn't see either girl near me, so I assumed I was off scott free. My optimism was completely smashed once I saw that tanned girl, Apophis swirling her way through the crowd, somehow traveling through the tiniest gaps in order to reach me. Out of my other eye, I could see the red haired girl, Ddraig running away from the crowd, she was probably trying to head at me from the other side. Shit! What do I do now? Think man! Think! If I owned a car, I would have rushed to it, but I used public transportation. If I used public transportation, I would have to wait for it to arrive first, so that's a no go. If I ran home, they would not only catch me, but they would know where Jia is. Fuck... FUCK! Think! "Ma'am, you will have to come with us. An employee mentioned that you were acting suspiciously, which is the cause of why he pulled the alarm. We will have to search you for possession of any illegal objects." Two security guards pulled off the Apophis girl to the side as she wiggled her way through the crowds to reach me. Score for my fellow coworker, he must have pulled it off. Unless she fought back and caused a scene, Apophis couldn't follow me anymore. I only had that Ddraig girl to worry about. Running in the opposite direction of Ddraig, I ran to the back of the store and headed towards the streets. As I caught my breath, I looked behind me to see that girl, Ddraig following me, hot on my trail. "The fuck?" I exclaimed out loud, I started running down an alleyway. I nimbly climbed over a fence and scattered several boxes behind me, only to see that the girl literally jumped over the fence and boxes without breaking a sweat. I pulled off to the right and into the sidewalk. The street beside me was quite busy, and I decided to gamble. Looking for a suitable gap in the cars, I waited until I was ready and leapt into the street, rushing to the other side of the road. Honks galore filled the area. I looked back to see Ddraig following. Slam! A sedan in the oncoming lane hit the girl dead on. She went flying several meters. The car stopped in panic and got out to check if the girl was ok. I was about to stop as well, though I kept running because I saw Ddraig pick herself up and dust her clothes off as if getting hit by a forty-five mph car was nothing. Still, it didn't look like she was completely unharmed, as her movements seemed slower when she continued her pursuit of me. At least this time it didn't look so one sided. I leapt down a small concrete wall, and deftly jumped over a garbage container. "You know you've taken that drug, Nepenthe!" I called out to Ddraig. Not stopping, Ddraig spoke, "Nepenthe... What are you talking about?" "It's a drug that causes people to lose their memories, all of them! You've been given that drug along with Jia! Probably Apophis as well!" "Don't give me such obvious lies! Even if that were true, where is your proof?" "Jia showed me a vial, it was labeled Nepenthe! It's said that it is an extremely powerful amnesiac inducing drug! C'mon, you know you've taken it!" Ddraig slowed down, so I did as well in order to keep speaking to her while still escaping in case she wouldn't listen to me. "She also said that each of her sisters, you and Apophis, were given that drug to stop you all from remembering anything!" "Ah, found youuuu! Hey, you're cute!" A strangely positive voice said this out loud in front of me before it was too late for me to stop. I ran straight into another girl, probably the same kind of person like Ddraig and Apophis. I ran straight into chest, where she wrapped her arms around me and refused to let go. "Oh, Ddraig! You were chasing him? Soooorry, I want to capture this cute boy myself!" I'm flattered, though I definitely don't want to be captured here. I thrashed around, trying to pry myself from the girl's unnaturally strong grip. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get free. The strangest thing was that her grip didn't feel tight. It felt quite loose and strong at the same time, if that makes any sense. Almost as if I was being held down by an immense pressure, like water pressure. "Yinglong, there you are. Apophis will be here shortly. Please release him... I want to ask him some things." Ddraig's voice seemed unusually heavy and forlorn. Yinglong on the other hand, her voice did not go offbeat in the slightest with her infectiously cheery voice. I would go as far as to say her happiness annoyed me to the point where I wanted to destroy all of the fluffy bunnies in the world. "Aaaand why would I do that? Gosh! Don't tell me you want him for yourself... No! That won't do, he's just my type, and I want to hold him more!" Again, I'm flattered, but I get more and more annoyed at your voice each time I hear it. Now I want to go and burn every single stuffed cat in front of you while you are tied up. Besides, I like Jia, not you. My intuition told me not to say all of these things that I wanted to say, still, I had to say something. "I'm not a damn body pillow! Let go of me for Christ's sake!" As always, my wit seems to come at times when it's not important. "Awwww, I really, really, really want you!" Yinglong nuzzled her face against mine; I forced the bile back down my throat. Nepenthe "Yinglong... Release him. We should not interrogate him when he is psychologically impaired like that." Yea, that's right, Ddraig, you've got some level of sanity compared to this chick. "Humph, fine. As long as if I get to hold him after!" "Please think of others at times like these. Now, boy, you will be answering my questions honestly." Ddraig stared at me with burning eyes of animosity. I nodded my head fervently, it's not like I can't as of this moment. Two girls with kung fu powers and Wonder Woman-esque grips, I can't fight back or run now. "What you said before, about the drug... You are telling the truth, are you not?" "Jia managed to regain some of her memories from the drug. She said that she was given the drug, Nepenthe, in order to seal her memories away. And you all were given the drug as well to seal your memories away for some reason! I don't know why you caught me like this, but if you're doing this under the orders of whomever Jia escaped from... THEY gave you the drug, you're being controlled damn it!" I gave my hopefully convincing spiel, which didn't prove as effective as I hoped but it did go as I expected. Yinglong hummed away happily without a care in the world, she is the true epitome of ignorance is bliss. Ddraig on the other hand, well, at least she looked thoughtful. Even so, all I could see on Ddraig was a perfect poker face as she looked upwards. "...Yinglong, you keep him back. We will interrogate him later. I need to find Apophis, she's late." Ddraig said passively. "Really! Really, really? Yay! Maybe we'll have to take the scenic route, I don't get to walk with a cute guy like you often." Yinglong was clearly overjoyed, completely oblivious to the situation at hand. Ddraig turned around and dashed off away, eventually turning and escaping my view. "Hey, do you like the rain?" What? Yinglong asked a strange question despite her apparently holding me hostage. "Uh, pardon?" "I want to know if you like the rain? I sure do." "Well, depending on how the weather's been, I find the rain quite pleasant." I saw no reason not to answer, though I realized I was falling to her pace. "Oh goody! Be-cause, if you didn't... I'd have to hurt you! Really badly! Now, let's go take a romantic, rainy walk down the street!" The hell? If I saw a way to escape, I would have taken it. Though this Yinglong immediately grabbed onto my arm with her strange grip and latched on as if I was melded with her body. Uh, sorry Jia. I don't think I can come home and cook tonight. - "That capriciousss minx is holding him and left? Were we not going to beat him until he told usss where Fucanglong wasss? Then where is ssshe now?" Thirty minutes had passed. Ddraig was running alongside Apophis as they jumped from rooftop to rooftop, which was not all the hard considering their athletic abilities. Ddraig had found Apophis minutes earlier standing among several dead bodies. They were the security guards that originally took Apophis away. They no doubt saw that Apophis had a dangerous weapon on her. Which was known as a khopesh, or a sickle-sword that was wielded by ancient Egyptians. Each of the test subjects among the facility that Apophis, Ddraig, and Yinglong lived in wielded a weapon of their choice, or went with their fists like Fucanglong. The khopesh was not stained with blood, as Apophis did not to wield her weapon on such weak beings that dared to take her in custody. The two had finally found their way to the alleyway where the boy and Yinglong should have been, but they unsurprisingly were gone, most likely due to Yinglong's frivolous nature. As Apophis had said, Ddraig had planned to interrogate the boy fully, so that they may divulge Fucanglong's location and take her in. Yet, that idiotic Yinglong... "That brat, she cannot sit still for more than fifteen seconds. And of all times with that boy? Let's split up and find her. Don't even bother waiting for each other, interrogate the boy on the spot." Ordered Ddraig. Apophis hissed under her breath, she disliked taking orders and secretly told herself that she would kill Y Ddraig Goch someday if she continued. Snakes like Apophis were very solitary. "Fine. I may just kill that boy when I'm done with him. Yinglong hasss made far too much trouble and I will vent my anger with the interrogation." And she meant it. Apophis was not a forgiving woman. - "Ah... Cahlan. Where are... You?" Asked a worried Jia. It had been long past time for her beloved to come home, and she was quite worried. After all, who else could cook in their household? It wasn't long until Jia found herself searching the streets of the city for Callan. A faint feeling in her told her to walk along the riverbank, she deftly believed Callan would be somewhere along there. After all, she could feel his presence being associated with water. And the only body of water large enough was the river that ran through the city. Jia was captivated with the numerous sights that she laid her eyes upon: blossoming trees, flocks of ducks and their ducklings, a bundle of balloons being sold, and even a stand selling hotdogs and popsicles (which was what caught Jia's eye the longest, though she abstained because she believe Callan would get mad if she ate all willy-nilly). She could even feel the hot air of the seasons immerse itself with her body. She stared longingly at the frozen goodness that was named ice cream and popsicles, though after staying with Callan, she knew how to act in public and could not beg for food. It was an impolite thing to do. Still, that didn't stop Jia from spectating the frozen goods the children ate in order to stave off the heat. While the people of the city suffered in the intense hot weather, Jia simply shrugged it off, even under her long sleeved clothes, as she just felt as if the heat wouldn't get to her, it was an odd but pleasant sensation. Jia stared at the sights everywhere she went, even the unattractive ones such as numerous signs of graffiti and vandalism that covered the cement floodwalls. The world was a place of true beauty, not even in its darkest depths would there not be a shred of beauty. That was what Jia believed. The only way one may rise from despair and loneliness is if they sought out the world, if they broke the cage that enclosed them and decided that they would seek their future instead of letting it come to them. Even those who lost themselves in sorrow, either from a dead loved one or a separate matter, all they needed to do look beyond their hollow cage and touch the outside. The darkness of the facility, Jia truly feared that place. There was no laughter, no greenery, and certainly none of the man she truly cared for. The souls of her sisters, of Callan, and herself were all in peril if they went or stayed there, she MUST find her sisters and set them free. That was what Jia's mind was telling herself, what her memories told her. Her sisters... "This smell... One... Of them is... Nearby." It was an alarming coincidence. To be searching for Callan and to find one of her sisters... "This smell... One... Of them is... Cahlan. He is... With my... Sister." That was why she felt her beloved's presence was near water... It was because Callan was near one of her sisters. Jia didn't fully understand who she was or her sisters, all she did know from her memories was that she existed, and so did her sisters. "Kah... What is... This?" Jia clutched her head in agony, as another rush of memories flooded her mind. When the pain passed, Jia recollected herself. What she remembered wasn't much, but it was important. She knew all the more that she find Callan... And rescue him. - "I, uh, don't suppose you could release your grip? It's kind of embarrassing to be this close." I said somewhat apologetically. The woman beside me, who had me in her ultra-super-fantastical-mega-gravitational hold of steel, looked at me dreamily, completely unaware of my discomfort. "Why would I? I already said you're just my type! So cute and huggable, just like a big old teddy!" What is she? A god damn twelve year old? "Then can you seriously stop staring at me so intently? I feel like I'm in front of a gathering of cardinals... Whatever that means." I muttered off at the end. Yinglong then instantly turned her head away. No way, did my words have an effect? Does she hate cardinals? Is it the bird cardinal or the old white guy in a religious outfit cardinal? I moved my gaze towards where Yinglong's eyes were, straight at Jia. "Sister, it's been awhile." "Release... Cahlan... Now." Jia's voice was stern, far different than I had witnessed it being spoken before when she was with me. "Nuh-uh! He's too cute for me to stop holding him now." Yinglong shook her head in a mordant manner. "Beeeesides, I originally came here to bring you back, sister. By force or not... Won't you come back peacefully?" Jia stiffened, "I do not... Want to... Go back to... That... Cage. There is... No life... No laughter... No color." Jia's voice resembled her constant monotone style, though her words were littered with hints of cold melancholy. "Do you... Not... Remember... Nepenthe?" Yinglong tilted her head boldly, "Eh? What's a Nepenthe? Is it good to eat?" Good lord, don't tell me this girl also gorges herself on every bit of food she scrounges. "No, damn it! Those suits, they gave you a drug called Nepenthe which takes away or seals your memories, it turns you into an amnesiac!" I called out desperately, hoping to get through Yinglong's thick skull. "You're being manipulated by whoever gave you the drug! Just like Jia and your two friends or sisters!" "What's an amnesiac? Really, cute boy, I have no idea what you are talking about. In any case, I need you to close those lovely lips of yours so that I may bring in sister, by force." Yinglong pushed me onto a bench where I was forced to sit down. She reached inside her clothes and pulled out a folded metal stick, which she extended into an at least a two meter long staff where deadly blades were attached. The weapon she pulled out was called a Ji, a type of Chinese halberd. It had a spear tip for piercing and two inwardly curved blades attached to the sides. Wait, is this even legal? A commotion was forming around the area as several groups of people started spectating the situation between these two pretty Chinese girls. One asked, "They filming a movie?" Another said, "Got some kick-ass kung fu action goin' on over here!" And one crude voice said to this friend, "Hey, that one girl has got some nice tits." Hey now, that's Jia you're talking about. Yinglong formed a wicked smile on her face as she twirled her Ji around and pointed it at Jia. It was obvious that Yinglong had some measure of skill in the weapon, could Jia even cope? Wait, why am I letting a girl fight my battles. "Hey, just stop-" I at least tried to break up the fight, though Yinglong pushed me back on the bench with the back of the Ji. Every time I tried to stand up, all she did was simply shove me back down with the back end of her weapon. "JIA! JUST RUN AWAY!" Jia stood still and said, "No... Cahlan. I must... Repay your... Kindness. I will save... You." I thought that Jia was about to take out a weapon of her own for a second, though instead she opted for taking a martial arts type stance. Wait, are they really going to fight in front of all these people? What the hell! Yinglong attacked first, stabbing the Ji several times at Jia. I winced at first, thinking that Jia got skewered, though I was surprised and relieved to find out that Jia nimbly dodged each attack while standing still. As Yinglong stabbed once more in Jia's direction, Jia tilted to the side and pulled the Ji towards her while also flinging a chop at Yinglong's neck. And I thought again that a painful moment would occur, only to find Yinglong bended her neck back to duck under Jia's chop. Just where did these girls learn these things? This is top Hollywood stunt stuff... "Sister, you're as good as Y Ddraig said... She remembered fighting you before, in the facility, and said that your skills were not to be underestimated. I can't believe you can fight me on par when I have a weapon like this! I might embarrass myself in front of that cute guy!" Yinglong said cheerfully without paying attention to the mood. Jia frowned, "Cahlan... Is mine... Not yours." Jia attacked with a seemingly crazy style of attack that involved flinging her arms in various directions in order to knock the Ji away and attack Yinglong. Really, that makes me feel good when you say that, honest. Yinglong swerved and sliced around at Jia's chest horizontally and as the Ji turned in her direction, she ducked down and sliced again at Jia's legs, intent on hamstringing Jia. Jia sidestepped the attack, jumping off to the side and onto a small rock. She jumped off and shot a hook kick at Yinglong's chest. Oi! This is getting pretty amazing here. I knew movements like these were possible, martial artists in videos or tournaments have demonstrated them, but seeing it here firsthand, it looked very amazing... And impossible, yet it still happened. I didn't even know my legs could bend like that. Yinglong blocked the kick with the middle of her Ji and grabbed Jia's legs with one hand and swung it over her body and onto the ground. First off, you had to be exceptionally strong to pull off a move like that. Second off, it would be near impossible to grab someone as they kicked and even do that. And thirdly, how the hell did a girl like this Yinglong even get that strong? Jia slammed into the ground, kicking up dust. She let out a short, but anguished, groan as she picked herself up, pulling her body together. Some blood could be seen on her lips, Jia must have bit her mouth upon impact. She wiped it away and resumed her stance. The crowd started getting restless, question the legality and authenticity of the current situation. One woman was even calling what I assumed was nine one one for the police. I couldn't help but wipe my brow for the sweat, which was partially because of the intense summer heat and the pressure from the potentially deadly situation here. Numerous times during the fight, I called out Jia's name each time she got hit or cut. Thankfully she received no serious injuries, but I knew it was only a matter of time. Still, it was not like the battle was completely one sided. If I had to use my amateurish commentary on the skills of the two girls, I would say that Jia was the more skilled one. Though Yinglong breached that skill level with her weapon. Also, she had the psychological resilience with her. Jia must have been worrying about me the whole time. Thus it was completely realistic to say that Jia, despite inflicting several hard attacks on Yinglong, will lose the fight. I had to do something. At this point, the crowd had reached the point where there were people on all sides of us, taking photos, videos, and calls while watching the intense kung fu battle between two hot girls. A police officer eventually closed in on the situation, two of them entered the circle. The first one got in between of the two girls and shouted, "Hey, hey, break it up! Put the weapon away now-" His attempt to defuse the situation failed, as Yinglong swept the officer's legs away and slammed the back end of the Ji down on his temple, knocking him out. The second officer pulled out his gun, "Miss, put the weapon down and put your hands up in the air! You have just assaulted an officer of the law-" He too, failed to stop Yinglong, though this time Jia was the one to knock out the officer with a sharp blow to the back of the neck. The crowd let out a collective gasp and fled the scene, causing a large panic. Their battle continued as Yinglong swung the inverted curved blade side at Jia's neck, barely missing by several centimeters thanks to Jia's quick feet. Jia jabbed several times at Yinglong, each of which was blocked by the Ji. Yinglong managed to distract Jia by feinting off to the side. While in this fight, both parties utilized feints several times, and only this time did it prove effective. Jia fell for the feint and received a sharp blow to the bottom of her chin, knocking her back. Yinglong was about to twist her Ji in the air and strike again for a potentially harmful blow with the blades, if not for my intervention. Dodging through the panicking spectators, I made my way to Yinglong, who didn't expect me to tackle her from behind. I pulled her up and held her arms up so that she can't use them, however she still attacked me with her annoyingly strong elbows. "Even if you're just my type, I can't let you interfere with this cutie!" Twice her elbows plowed into my stomach and chest, knocking the wind out of me painfully, but I persevered. "Jia! NOW!" Yinglong looked up, shocked, and saw Jia's incoming attack. Jia lifted her leg and kicked downwards, she swung a low kick at Yinglong's legs and knocking her off her feet. The Ji also fled Yinglong's hands and flew off in the opposite direction. Before she dealt the final blow, Jia hesitated, for reasons all too obvious as to why. Yinglong is supposedly Jia's sister after all. If one looked closely, they could see the resemblance between Jia and Yinglong: striking raven hair, similar facial features, I could understand these two being sisters, but not that Ddraig and Apophis. Just how many weird sisters were there? Taking advantage of her sister's hesitance, Yinglong grabbed Jia's arms and pulled her over her head in a bizarre wrestling move. She mercilessly struck Jia's body with deadly hands. I could barely see any movement from Jia, though I knew she was alive because Yinglong was supposed to keep her alive. I stood there, practically shell-shocked from the situation. "Now, cute boy, I did say you're my type... But I never gave you permission to assault my body. Pay..." Yinglong stared at me coldly, completely different from her blank cheeriness from before. She reached for me neck, faster than I could react, and grabbed on forcefully. With my airways clogged, I desperately grabbed for air, despite not being able to acquire any. Showing that she could do even more, Yinglong lifted me up with her unnatural strength as I dangled helplessly in the air being asphyxiated. Well, I could think of worse ways to die. Still, I realized at that moment how incredibly unpleasant it was to die by someone's hands, even if they belonged to a pretty girl. Slowly, I could feel darkness begin to envelop my eyes; they slowly began to close due to a lack of oxygen. Eventually, I became unconscious right at the moment I was saved. A sharp spear tip protruded from Yinglong's chest, in between her bosom. Blood sprayed on my clothes as I saw who did it, Jia. Breathing heavily and covered in her own blood, Jia stabbed Yinglong with the tip of Yinglong's Ji. Still, it was a second too late. My body felt like snowflakes was falling on my face and body. Dying didn't feel like it should, especially in the summer, it felt like winter. - Y Ddraig Goch and her sister, Apophis, were staring at the scene before them. Police tape had enclosed the area as numerous officers and detectives were scouring the area for evidence. Some paramedics were seen loading the body of their sister, Yinglong, onto the ambulance, they apparently thought, despite her lack of breathing, she was still alive. Of course she was. Yinglong, one of their sisters, would not die from a simple stab wound. None of them would, even their weakest sister. "Do you think the boy did this?" Asked Ddraig.
