(A/N: Alright, here we go. We're moving on to possibly my favorite anime ship, Takashi and Saeko from Highschool of the DEAD. As you can probably tell from the title, this takes place when they were alone in the shrine together after the screen faded to black when the two of them leaned in. They definitely did it during that time skip. If the implication wasn't enough of a give away, the way they behaved around each other in the next episode, and the fact that the next morning Saeko was seen finishing putting her skirt on when she had been wearing it before the fade-out should have clued you in. So even though it's been done before, here's how it went down in my head. Enjoy the lemony goodness.)

"SHRINE OF THE DEAD"
“Does anyone like that deserve love!?” she practically bellowed, her voice becoming nearly hysterical.
Takashi stared at the purple-haired girl, shocked to the core. It was astounding to see Saeko Busujima of all people sounding on the verge of a mental breakdown, but after what she had just told him, how could he expect anything less? He’d figured that there was something in her past that had caused to her freeze up the way she did when confronting those undead kids, but he never could have guessed anything like this.
When she first started telling him of her past and how she was attacked by some pervert the streets, he had been horrified, thinking she was going to tell him that she was raped. But then her story had taken off in a completely different direction, where she revealed that she knew she had the upper-hand against the man and feigned fear and helplessness, only to turn the tables on him and beat him to within an inch of his life.
He felt no sympathy for the molester, and would have congratulated the swordswoman for successfully defending herself and delivery a well-deserved punishment on the pervert, but upon revealing the sheer delight, the absolute total pleasure, as she had so put it, to have hurt the man so violently, that had shaken him a bit. Who would have guessed that the seemingly perfect Saeko Busujima was carrying around such darkness inside her?
But he also recognized her burden. Saeko was a good person, anyone could see that. She was kind and compassionate, but deep down, there was a sadistic pleasure she got at hurting and holding power over others, as she discovered when she attacked her attacker. She recognized and accepted that part of herself, but she also feared it. She didn’t want to hurt people, she didn’t want to take pleasure in it, but she couldn’t help the way it made her feel.
Was it any wonder she felt herself undeserving of love? She acknowledged her darkness, but she viewed it as a handicap of sorts. She saw herself as this dark creature, a monster, and she feared that others would as well if they knew what she was really like. And she had carried this fear with her all this time, trying to keep her darkness in check while hiding it from the world. But it seemed that she could no longer keep it to herself.
Now he recognized that situation with the zombie children for what it was. She had been afraid of what he would think of her if he saw her taking such delight in cutting down those kids. They may have been children that were Them, as he and his friends had taken to calling the zombies, not wanting to use the actual words for what the walking corpses actually were, but they still were the bodies of children. And what sadistic freak would take enjoyment in killing kids, even undead ones?
He would, he realized. It was something he hadn’t really thought about until now, but had gradually become more and more aware of ever since the outbreak had started. With hundreds, if not thousands, of Them walking around, trying to eat any living thing that crossed their paths, there was no way to avoid killing them, not if you wanted to survive. But as the days went by, and he put down more and more of Them, he began to find that he was enjoying what he was doing.
It was survival, sure, but he enjoyed it all the same, and he almost found himself grateful that the world had taken this dark turn. He got a sick thrill out of putting bullets in these zombies’ heads, of crushing their skulls with his bat, of running them down in a car.
And not just them either. He still remembered the deep satisfaction he got when he had shot that one guy who had threatened him and tried to abduct Rei. The psychotic bastard had really had it coming, and it put a smile on Takashi’s face to know that he had put him out of commission and left him for Them to prey upon. Not to mention all the other things they had to do to survive.
As twisted as it was, he actually found himself liking this new lawless world. While it was true that he and the others were seeking a safe place where they would no longer be in danger, that didn’t take away how much he was loving getting there, or the gratitude of knowing that even once they did, they would still need to go out into this world of the dead where he would be able to enjoy himself some more. So if something was wrong with Saeko, then she wasn’t alone, because there was something wrong with him as well.
“But…” he said almost aggressively, hesitating for only a brief moment, “ever since this has happened, I felt that way too!”
As he admitted it, his mind jumped to the different events of the outbreak. Bashing open a zombie’s head, shooting a man and leaving him for dead, sniping down a hoard of Them as they were boxed in. He’d slowly gone from being horrified to what he did, to feeling indifferent, to having a smile on his face. Because yes, he did enjoy this. No, he loved it. So what did it matter if Saeko got the same enjoyment out of it? They were the same in his eyes.
He had meant for his words to comfort Saeko, but he saw right away that that wasn’t the case. She instead gave him a sympathetic smile, her expression resigned and her eyes full of pity at what he said.
“You became that way after this happened,” she told him, almost as if she felt sorry that he had ended up this way. “But I was like that before.”
His heart went out to her. He understood what she was saying. She was telling him that he had become what he had out of necessity. But in the civilized world, such actions would be viewed as problematic, if not evil. And since she was basically admitting to having always been this way, she must view herself as evil as well.
“Don’t say that,” he insisted.
If he knew one thing about Saeko, it’s that she wasn’t evil. She was kind and considerate. She was caring and compassionate. Yes, she carried around a darkness inside her, but that didn’t make her evil. The fact that she was trying so hard to reject and hide that part of herself was proof of that. Someone who was truly evil wouldn’t care enough to keep that part of themselves in check. There were some real psychos in the world, ones who would go out and commit horrible crimes if they thought they could get away with it, and some who didn’t even care if they got caught. Those people were evil. But Saeko was trying so hard to keep her darkness at bay.
And perhaps she was wrong about herself. From what she was saying, he got the impression that she thought there was always something wrong with her and she just hadn’t noticed it until the day she was attacked. But maybe that was the case for many people. Maybe that was even the case for him. Rules and civilization had kept him in check, and it wasn’t until the outbreak had forced him to step into the darkness that he found that he enjoyed that part of himself once it was let out, and it just so happened to correspond with what was necessary to survive in this new world.
Perhaps for Saeko, she had just had her awakening and realization earlier when she was attacked. Perhaps that was the case for many people in this world. He saw signs of this in his friends too when the dead attacked. They were good people too, but they also seemed to enjoy taking Them down, at least to an extent. Maybe much of humanity had this hidden dark side that they tried to maintain control of, and it simply required an extreme situation to awaken that darkness or make them acknowledge it. And when it came out, as this new world often required it to, they couldn’t help but enjoy it. Takashi certainly did.
The sympathetic smile on Saeko’s face fell away, leaving her looking resigned and miserable, almost as if she were giving up. She could see that Takashi was trying to rationalize what she was telling him, and while she appreciated that, she also felt that he truly didn’t understand what she was trying to tell him. Or maybe not that he didn’t understand, but that he was trying to make it appear not as bad as it seemed.
But Saeko had had a lot of time to think about this. Ever since she had nearly beaten that man to death, she had been trying to live with this darkness. But how did one live with the knowledge that they enjoyed hurting people, that they relished in holding such power over someone else? What kind of decent person did that? She didn’t want to be that way, she didn’t want to take enjoyment in such things, but she did all the same.
So she had tried to hide it. She’d put on a smile and acted the way society dictated, trying to continue on like the perfect, disciplined girl she had been before her attack, pushing away that dark side of herself. Yet it always lingered there beneath the surface. And while she managed to fool the people around her into thinking she was just an ordinary girl, she couldn’t fool herself.
To be honest, she was terrified of that part of herself. She didn’t want to hurt people, she didn’t want to take enjoyment in causing other people pain. And while she was able to keep that part of herself in check in a normal society, that was proving to be impossible in this undead infested world. How could she keep her darkness hidden when she had to let it out regularly on a daily basis?
That was why she had confessed her secret to Takashi, because she knew she wouldn’t be able to hide it with the way things were. And aside from her father, Takashi was the one she had trusted more than anyone else in this world. And with the way things were now, she’d needed to talk to someone about it. And he had been there. Not just figuratively, but literally too.
He’d realized that something was wrong when she had frozen in front of the fountain when they were surrounded by those zombie kids. She took enjoyment out of cutting down Them with her sword, and she’d also noticed that Takashi had taken a liking to killing, for lack of a better word, Them as well. But undead children. How could she excuse the enjoyment she would have taken in smashing their skulls in? Surely he would recognize it and realize that there was something wrong with her, something that went beyond merely doing what she needed to in order to survive. And that had been why she had frozen, because she hadn’t wanted Takashi to see her like that. She hadn’t wanted him to know.
But she hadn’t been able to keep it to herself any longer. He may not have realized what the problem was, but he had recognized that something was wrong. And she just couldn’t keep it to herself anymore. And with the two of them alone together, it had provided her with possibly the best opportunity to get what she had to say off her chest. Better to let him know on her own terms rather than for the revelation to come about later.
But that wasn’t the only reason she had confessed. It was also, admittedly, a bit of a self-destruction situation. Someone like her, someone who carried around such a darkness within them, she really didn’t think they were worthy of love. What kind of sadistic person who took enjoyment in such things deserved any kind of affection, let alone love? It was something she had been convinced of for a while now.
And therein lied the problem. While she had always been attracted to Takashi and admired him from afar, she had never acted on her crush, not even after his breakup. She hadn’t wanted to taint him with her darkness or have him discover it, so she had stayed away. But their situation had forced them to come together in order to survive, and his own darkness had begun to fester and come out.
While in the past she had simply been crushing on him, getting to know him, spending time with him, her feelings had rapidly started growing, and she found herself falling for him hard and fast. And she also couldn’t help but notice his own attraction to her, despite the feelings he still had for Rei. She supposed that was natural, he was a healthy teenage boy, and she wasn’t ignorant to her own appearance; she was perfectly aware of her status as being one of the school’s top beauties. And the blatant chemistry and sexual tension between her and Takashi was so noticeable that a blind person could see it.
But that still didn’t change her opinion of herself. She still hated her darkness, and she still thought it made her unworthy of love. Her confession of that darkness wasn’t just to lift a burden off her shoulders, it was also an attempt to drive Takashi away. By dashing any hope she may harbor of the possibility of anything developing between them other than mutual attraction, she could crush her feelings now and make things easier for both of them. And while it seemed that that hadn’t happened with the way Takashi was responding to her confession, it still didn’t change the way she felt about herself.
“Nothing about me has changed,” she admitted sadly. “I realized that in front of the fountain. It almost feels… like it’s gotten worse.”
Takashi gasped as he suddenly realized that Saeko was giving up. Not just on herself, but possibly on life itself. She was considering herself a lost cause, not just unworthy of love, but of living at all. She viewed herself as a bad person, and with all the good people in the world that had died, she was wondering how someone like her could still be alive. Why did they have to die while she got to live? She didn’t think she should, and that terrified him.
No, he couldn’t let this happen. He wouldn’t. Saeko had to live, he wouldn’t accept any other alternative. He needed her to live, he needed her. Not just to survive, he needed her as a person. He needed her in his life. He had come to realize that over the days since they had started spending time together. He didn’t know what he would do if he lost her.
Without thinking, he reached out and grasped her hand. Saeko gasped in surprise and looked at him, seemingly snapping out of her stupor. Good, he needed to bring her back. He couldn’t let her fall into despair. His attempts to reassure her when she confessed her dark side to him hadn’t worked, but perhaps he could show her through action just how much he cared for her, and how much he didn’t think she was a monster.
Saeko stared at him as he grasped her hand, her eyes wide in surprise and a blush appearing on her face at the physical contact. No, it wasn’t just the contact, it was the way he was looking at her. The look on his face was so intense that it was making her feel flustered.
Takashi stared at her hard, hoping to convey through his touch and expression what he was trying to say. Words wouldn’t do much to calm Saeko down while she was like this, he could see that. But sometimes no words were needed in order to get through to someone. Actions could speak louder than words in many instances, and he hoped she was getting the message now.
It seemed to be working. Saeko had been surprised when he suddenly grabbed her hand in her borderline rant of self-loathing, but as he maintained contact with her, showing her that he was still here after what she had told him, that he wasn’t repulsed by her, he could see that it was working.
It was almost strange to see Saeko Busujima of all people to lose her cool. She had always come across as so strong, so confident. To see her become scared and vulnerable was almost surreal. But she was only human, she had moments of weakness just like everyone else. But it broke Takashi’s heart to hear her think that she wasn’t worthy of love due to her dark nature, and he did his best to let her know that that wasn’t true, that she was worthy of love, that she deserved it.
Saeko was indeed getting his message. She didn’t know why she was surprised; this was Takashi after all. Still, part of her had fully expected him to run for the hills when she had revealed this secret side of herself. But he hadn’t, he was still here, and his touch was letting her know that he wasn’t going anywhere in ways words could not.
As he stared at her, Saeko felt her heart start racing. It had already been rapidly pounding in her chest from anxiety, but had started to slow down from his touch. But now it was beginning to beat fast again, for a completely different reason. He was so close to her, still holding her hand and looking at her so intensely, and Saeko felt her face fill with more heat.
She had always found Takashi to be attractive, even before she really got to know him. And ever since she had teamed up with him and the others to try and survive the zombie invasion, she had found herself liking him more and more. And now, being alone with him like this while in such an emotional state, she couldn’t help but to start to become overwhelmed by the feelings she had developed for him.
Takashi was facing a similar predicament. What had at first started out as an attempt to comfort her was quickly changing as the mood shifted, and he couldn’t help but to be taken in by the purple-haired girl’s beauty. She was considered to be one of the most, if not thee most, attractive girls in school for a reason. He’d certainly always thought so. And he’d always greatly admired her, his admiration for her growing once they really started to get to know each other. And when she had opened up to him a few minutes ago, he suddenly started to feel connected to her on a much deeper level, both personally and emotionally.
As his expression relaxed and he took in how gorgeous she looked in the dim light with her cheeks flushed and the vulnerable look on her face, he suddenly wanted to kiss her, very badly. Somewhere far in the back of his mind, Rei appeared, but her image quickly faded to be replaced with thoughts of Saeko.
Despite the feelings he still had for Rei, the two of them were not together. What more, he had begun to develop new feelings, and they were for the girl right in front of him. And right now, she was the only one he could see. It was as if it were just the two of them alone in the entire world.
He took note of Saeko’s expression. From the look on her face, she was just as affected by him as he was of her. Slowly, he gave in to his desires and began to lean in, giving her plenty of time to pull away if she wanted to. But she didn’t. Instead, she began to lean in as well, and their lips met.
It was their first kiss. With each other at least. Takashi had shared his first kiss with Rei back when they were together, before she had left him for Hisashi. He had no idea if this was Saeko’s first kiss though, but based on what she had told him of how she thought herself unworthy of love, he suspected that this was. But in any case, this kiss was very different from the ones he’d shared with Rei.
This was Saeko’s first kiss, and she was glad that it was with him. It was everything she’d thought a first kiss should be and more. It was also something she had begun to doubt she would ever experience. After all, who hadn’t had their first kiss by her age? Very few people, probably. And since she had thought herself unworthy of love, she hadn’t been sure if she would ever have her first kiss. But not only was Takashi still here after learning about her deep, dark secret, he was actually kissing her.
The kiss was gently, their lips merely pressing together, nothing too intense. Yet when they came apart and looked at each other, they could both see desire and need reflecting in the other’s eyes. Then they leaned in, and their lips connected again. It was more than the mere pressing of lips this time though, as their lips began moving against each other.
Takashi could hardly believe that he was kissing Saeko Busujima of all people. What more, he couldn’t believe that she was kissing him back. But then, a lot of unbelievable things had been happening lately, ever since the dead had decided to get up and start walking around. But none of that mattered right now. All that mattered was the two of them.
Takashi decided to push his luck by tapping her lips with his tongue. He felt her hesitate for a moment before she opened up for him, allowing him to deepen the kiss. One of his hands came up to cup her cheek as they proceeded to make-out.
When they broke apart, their faces remained close together, their foreheads resting against each other. Their eyes opened and they stared into the other’s hooded gaze, a blush present on both their faces. Saeko leaned into his hand, and he rubbed her cheek with his thumb, admiring the smoothness of her skin.
“Takashi,” she whispered.
“Saeko,” he whispered back.
They came together again, exchanging deep, open-mouthed kisses. There was no hesitation on Saeko’s part this time as her tongue dueled with his just as surely as she wielded her sword. Her hands came up to grip his shoulders, and she took handfuls of his jacket, pulling him closer.
Takashi took it a step further, placing his hands on her lower back and pulling her flush against him so they were pressed against each other, both of them sitting on their knees. His lower body reacted, and he felt himself grow hard. He knew that Saeko must feel it with the way they were pressed together, and he wondered how she would react.
A light whimper escaped her when she felt his hardness, but she only pressed herself against him, her hands going from gripping his jacket to wrapping her arms around his neck to bring them even closer. Lust started to cloud both of their minds as their desires took over.
They eventually came apart for air, both of them panting heavily, and not just from the lack of oxygen. The need for each other was greater though, and they quickly resumed their make-out session. But as much as Takashi enjoyed the softness of Saeko’s lips and the sensation of her tongue rubbing against his, he wanted to explore other parts of her.
Detaching his lips from hers, he began trailing kisses down the side of her face. Reaching up, he pushed her hair out of the way and pressed a kiss to her neck. Saeko let out a deep sigh as her head fell back, exposing more of her throat to him. Her eyes slid shut in pleasure as she ran her hands through his hair, discovering that it was rather soft, despite its spiky appearance. She pulled his face closer as his lips and tongue teased her heated flesh.
Takashi grew bolder and reached up to grab her breast. Saeko’s eyes flew open in surprise, but they soon slid shut once more as she relished in the feel of his hands on her, even if it was through her clothes. She wanted more though, she wanted him to actually touch her bare skin. The fire he had started inside her when they kissed was quickly turning into a raging inferno.
When she didn’t object to his touch, he pressed his luck even further. With his other hand, he took hold of the ribbon on her school uniform and gave it a tug. He faced no protests from her, and proceeded to pop open each button down her shirt. And when the last button came undone, he pushed her top open, revealing the dark purple lacey bra he had seen through her shirt when he had gotten her wet earlier. His lips moved lower, and he began peppering kisses over the newly exposed skin of her chest.
Saeko hissed in pleasure and leaned back. Takashi’s arms went around her lower back to support her as he buried his face in her bosom. She held him against her chest as he kissed along the line of her bra, but it wasn’t enough, she wanted to touch him too. Her hands moved from his hair to the top of his jacket, and she began to push it off him. With his arms around her though, she was unable to get it down any further. Fortunately, he got the message, and he released her in order to shrug completely out of his jacket.
Saeko’s heart was racing as she panted in anticipation. She knelt in front of Takashi with her shirt hanging open as he stared at her, waiting for her to make the next move. A small, somewhat coy smile crossed her face as she reached up and pushed her open shirt off her shoulders, letting it sensually side down her arms and off. She noticed Takashi swallow nervously at the sight of her being nearly topless, with only her bra to hide her from his gaze, and she resisted the urge to chuckle.
“See something you like?” she asked, attempting to playfully flirt.
Takashi blushed and looked away. “Saeko… this wasn’t my intention when…”
She felt herself blush as well, but she didn’t back down. Instead, she reached out and placed her hand over his, looking at him with desire shining in her eyes. “It’s your turn now. I want to see you too.”
She saw him hesitate. For a moment, she wondered if he was thinking about Rei. She knew the basics of their relationship. The two of them had been a couple, but them she had dumped him in order to hook up with his best friend, Hisashi, apparently because she hadn’t been satisfied with their relationship; something about Takashi being too indecisive and not interesting enough for her.
What a load of nonsense. How could anyone think that Takashi wasn’t interesting? Saeko, for one, had always found him to be interesting, even before the zombie invasion and they really started getting to know each other. And too indecisive? He was a teenager. What teenager wasn’t indecisive and unsure about their future? That was completely normal.
Perhaps it was the lack of communication that had really drove them apart; Rei had become more reserved ever since she had been held back a year. But instead of just ditching Takashi and rubbing her new boyfriend in his face as to what she thought a proper boyfriend should be like the way she had, Rei should have talked to him and the two of them should have worked things out together. That’s what real couples did. Saeko may have been inexperienced in love and relationships, but she did understand that much. Just how shallow and self-centered could a person be?
But breakup or not, Saeko knew that Takashi still had feelings for Rei, even after the way she had trampled all over his heart and cast him aside; she was his first love after all. But still, it seemed that fate had provided Saeko with this opportunity to take her relationship with him to a new level. Whatever feelings he still had for Rei, the two of them were not together now, even though Hisashi hadn’t survived. And she was not going to let this chance go to waste.
Saeko had had her own intense and rapidly growing feelings for Takashi. She could sense that there was something between them, something that was growing stronger by the day, something that had the potential to become something great. And, truthfully, while she did feel sorry for Rei, since she knew the girl still had feelings for Takashi as well, even though she had been the one to breakup with him, Saeko wanted Takashi for herself. She wanted him to choose her over Rei, and she was willing to fight for his heart.
But that’s not what this was. Here in this shrine, Saeko was simply acting out on her desire. She wanted Takashi, badly. And based on the way he had kissed her and touched her, not to mention the raw lust she saw in his eyes, he wanted her just as much. So she couldn’t help but wonder if his hesitation may have been due to whatever feelings he still had for Rei.
As it turned out, Saeko was way off base. Rei was the furthest thing on Takashi’s mind right now. What had him hesitating was his own shyness. This was his first time going this far with a girl; he and Rei had never gone this far. And what he was feeling for Saeko, what he was doing with her, it was overwhelming.
At her request though, he turned back to her, seeing her stare at him in open want and anticipation. After a few moments though, he stood up and stripped off his shirt, tossing it aside. He felt self-conscious at first, but then he watched as Saeko’s eyes widened as they traveled over his chiseled chest appreciatively. There was a hungry look in her gaze that made his heart beat rapidly. The look told him that she very much liked what she saw, and her reaction made him smirk confidently.
“Do you see something you like?” he asked teasingly, throwing her own words back at her.
She smiled in amusement. “I do.”
He chuckled and held his hand out to her. She glanced at it briefly before taking it. He pulled her to her feet, and the two of them stood before each other. Saeko was tall for a girl, almost as tall as him, making it convenient for him to pull her towards him. Saeko’s hands came up and pressed against his bare chest, but not in an attempt to push him away or keep them apart. Rather, she seemed to be feeling his muscles, admiring the way they felt under her hands, her gaze fixated on his chest.
Takashi’s hand came up to take her chin, tilting her head to look up at him. Their faces were so close together, and Takashi’s other hand came up to cup her cheek, cradling her face in both hands. They stared at each other with hooded eyes, and Saeko whispered his name.
He kissed her again, and Saeko responded in kind. The two made-out heavily as Saeko’s arms slipped around him to hold herself close. Takashi’s own hands trailed from her cheeks and down her neck to her shoulders. He began to push one of her bra straps down to her shoulder, then moved his face down to press kisses to the area as his other hand slid down the other strap.
Biting her bottom lip, Saeko reached back and unhooked her bra. The lacey material fell away and dropped to their feet. She now stood with her breasts fully on display, and she glanced at Takashi to see his reaction. She was pleased to see that he was staring at her with nothing less than pure adoration. It brought a smile to her face to know how beautiful he found her. While she knew she was ranked among the three most beautiful girls in school, which, ironically, was also a status shared by Rei and Saya, she didn’t care about anyone else’s opinion, only Takashi’s.
Feeling as if his mouth had gone dry, Takashi stared at Saeko’s bare chest. At the same time, he also felt his mouth water as he was overcome with the desire to take her rosy nipples in his mouth. He somehow managed to tear his eyes away from her breasts and bring them up to her face. She gave him a smile and held her arms out to him. Accepting the invitation, Takashi stepped into her rms, wrapping his own around her.
Saeko’s arms circled Takashi’s neck and their lips met. She moaned into his mouth as their naked chests pressed together, raising one of her legs to wrap it around his hip, allowing her to grind against him. Takashi responded by reaching down to help hold up her leg as his other hand moved down to cup her rear and pull her more firmly against him. He let out his own groan as he grinded their groins together, and Saeko whimpered as she felt him press against her core through their clothes.
Breaking apart for air, Takashi rested his forehead against hers as the two of them panted. “God, Saeko, you have no idea how much I want you,” he whispered against her lips.
Saeko smiled. “How much do you want me?”
He opened his eyes, looking into hers. “Really, really badly.”
She resisted the urge to chuckle. “Then take me, Takashi. Take me now. I want you too, so much.”
“Shit, Saeko.”
She did chuckle at that and lowered her leg. His hand that had been gripping it shifted higher and moved to her front to the top of her skirt. His fingers traced the top of it, and then slipped inside, pushing past her panties. He felt her curls tickle his hand as he moved it lower, finding her completely soaked. And when he finally cupped her, Saeko let out a groan and threw her head back, keeping her arms wrapped around his neck to hold onto him. Takashi’s other hand rested on her lower back, keeping her close as he began running his fingers along her slit.
“Yes, Takashi,” she hissed out as he rubbed her.
Her hands gripped his hair as she pulled him in for a kiss. They devoured each other’s mouths hungrily as Takashi continued to rub her. When he finally stuck a finger inside her, Saeko pulled away with a loud gasp. Takashi lowered his head and took a nipple into his mouth, causing Saeko to moan, and he began moving his finger in and out of her, swirling it around and causing her to become even wetter. She was incredibly tight around his finger, and he mimicked what he longed to do with another part of his body.
Takashi may have been a virgin, but he wasn’t clueless. Like most teenage boys, he had watched his fair share of porn online. Of course, he wasn’t an idiot, he knew that most of it was staged, and that the couples in the video were putting on an act for the viewer’s pleasure. But it still taught him some basic stuff of what to do. And based on how Saeko was responding to him, he was doing a good job so far.
Saeko whimpered as Takashi’s mouth worked on her breast while his hand worked on her nether region. But she didn’t want his finger, she wanted something else. She also wanted him to lose his pants, and for her to lose her skirt, and anything else preventing them from having full access to each other. She pulled his head away from her chest, regretting the loss of the feel of his mouth on her. He gave her a questioning look, but then her hands moved down to his belt, and she began to unbuckle it.
“Take this off,” she ordered him breathlessly. “I want access to all of you.”
Takashi smirked and suddenly curled his finger inside her. Saeko cried out, her hands flying from his belt that she had managed to unbuckle to grip his biceps. He rubbed her a few more times before removing his finger. Saeko watched with hooded eyes as he brought his finger to his mouth and sucked her wetness off of it, the sight sending another wave of arousal through her.
He gave her a serious, yet seductive look. “Saeko, you taste delicious.”
“Takashi…” she breathed, feeling more aroused than she had ever felt in her life. “Pants off, now.”
He obliged, kicking off his shoes as he began to undo his pants. Saeko’s own hands went to her skirt, unfastening it and letting it drop to her feet, leaving her in only her panties, stockings, and shoes. She kept her eyes on him as he pushed down his pants and stepped out of them. This left him in nothing more than his boxers, of which inside was a very large, very noticeable bulge. He stopped there though, suddenly looking shy as color filled his cheeks, and averted his eyes while letting out an embarrassed grumble.
Saeko giggled as she took hold of her panties and slowly pushed them down her legs. “Don’t get shy on me now, Takashi. I promise you, I’m really liking what I see so far. And from what it looks like you have hidden in your boxers, I’m going to like what else you show me even more.”
His blush deepened, and he looked even more embarrassed. “It’s not that. It’s just… this is the first time I’ve done something like this, and I’m a little self-conscious.”
He was in good shape, and Saeko had made it clear that she found him attractive, but still, he was about to get naked in front of a girl, and he couldn’t help but feel nervous. Especially when he was in front of a goddess like Saeko.
She giggled again and held up her panties. Stretching them out, she let them snap, and they flew over to Takashi and landed on his face, causing him to blink and her to let out another giggle. The truth was, she was nervous too. She had never done anything like this before, and yet here she was, about to go all the way with the boy she was crushing on hard. But she felt safe and protected with him. Plus, his own nervousness was making her feel better about her own, and it allowed her to take on a more playful and teasing nature to help alleviate his.
“Hey,” she told him teasingly, “you’re the guy, you’re supposed to be the one taking charge.” She bent down and began making a show of pushing her stocking down her leg, slipping her shoe off with it, then doing the same to her other leg. “So get a move on, I said that I don’t want any barriers between us.”
She finished removing her remaining stocking, and then stood up in all her naked glory. Takashi found he was unable to tear his eyes away from her nude form, not even to remove the panties hanging from his face. She really was a goddess. Tall, slim, an athletic build, pale skin, long purple hair, she was utter perfection. His eyes traveled up and down her body, from her toned legs to the crop of hair of her nether region, up her flat stomach to her perfectly shaped breasts to her beautiful face. He was staring at her so intensely that the playfulness Saeko had just displayed vanished as her own nervousness took over, and she blushed and looked away.
“S-Stop looking at me like that,” she said shyly. “You’re making me feel embarrassed.”
Mouth dry, Takashi had to struggle to find his voice. “Saeko… you’re gorgeous.”
Her blush deepened as she brought a hand up to cover her mouth while averting her eyes. “Hey, come on, it’s not fair that I’m the only who’s not wearing clothes.”
Takashi blushed again as her eyes returned to him. His whole body seemed to become stiff, but he also looked determine. Inhaling deeply, he grasped his boxers and pushed them down, leaving him just as naked as her. He then stood up straight, as still and as stiff as a board, his arms at his sides as if he were standing at attention. And a certain part of him was, standing just as tall and stiff as he was.
Saeko’s eyes drifted down to that part of him, and a small squeak escaped her as her entire face turned red. Her assessment of what he had in his boxers based on his bulge had been correct, but now that she saw it, she felt a little uncertain. But that was natural, she assured herself. It was designed to fit, even if it did seem like it was too big. Lots of girls became doubtful upon seeing one for the first time; it was just a part of being nervous. At least she was fairly sure that was the case.
Takashi’s heart was racing as he watched Saeko stare at his equipment. She looked bashful and nervous, and he wasn’t sure what to make of that. Was her reaction a good thing, or was she unimpressed?
“I’m sorry!” he suddenly found himself blurting out.
Saeko blinked, seemingly snapping out of her fixation at his words, and she gave him a confused look. “Why are you apologizing?”
“I… uh…” he muttered, and sweat-dropped as he realized he had no clue as to why he had said that. “I have no idea.”
Saeko stared at him for a few moments, then began to laugh, feeling herself relax as her anxiety dissipated in light of his reaction. He was just as nervous as she was, she realized. Despite the confidence the two of them often exhibited, they were still just two, normal teens feeling anxious over their first time. It made her feel a lot better, and her confidence returned as she pushed aside her shyness. This was something they both wanted after all, and she wouldn’t let a few nerves interfere.
Takashi looked on in confusion as Saeko laughed, feeling even more confused by this reaction. But at least his confusion seemed to eliminate some of his own anxiety. But then Saeko stopped laughing and smiled, looking more relaxed and more sure of herself once again. And when she stepped forward, he started.
He remained where he was though as she came right up to him until their chests were nearly touching, her pebbled nipples just barely grazing his chest. “Saeko?”
Her arms came up to wrap around him. She pressed herself against him as she pulled him into a hug, resting her chin on his shoulder. Their naked bodies were in full contact with each other, and Takashi sucked in a breath as he felt her smooth form against his.
“Is this better?” she asked as she leaned her head against his, a content smile on her face. “Now it’s not so embarrassing.”
No, it was still embarrassing, just for a different reason. They might not be able to see each either while embracing like this, but he could feel all of Saeko pressed against all of him, and he knew that she could feel him as well. That included his erection that was currently trapped between his stomach and hers. But arousal overpowered shyness, and Saeko felt so good pressed against him. His own arms slowly came up to wrap around her, and he held her tightly.
Feeling Takashi start to relax against her, Saeko’s smile became more content. Simply standing here like this, embracing in the nude, felt very pleasant, and very intimate. Her smile widened when she felt his arms tighten around her, and she nuzzled his shoulder and pressed a kiss to his heated flesh. And speaking of heated flesh, she could feel him hot and hard against her stomach. It pleased her to know that she could get such a reaction out of him. Of course, he was a teenage boy being embraced by a naked girl; what boy wouldn’t react in such a way?
She had her own arousal going on as well. Feeling Takashi’s arms around her, his body pressed against her own, her breasts pushing up against his hard chest, his erection scorching the flesh of her stomach, practically had her juices dripping down her legs. She rubbed her thighs together, trying to relieve some of the tension she felt, but it wasn’t enough. She needed something else, something more.
Takashi embraced her tightly as he felt Saeko shift against him. He groaned as his cock rubbed against her stomach and whispered her name. Saeko lifted her head from his shoulder to smile at him, then placed a finger to his lips and quietly shushed him. Her smile then became saucier as she trailed that same hand down his chest.
She reached between them, and Takashi gasped when he felt her fingers close around his length. Her hands were surprisingly soft for a swordswoman, and she ran them up and down his length a few times. He felt her thumb run over his tip and smear around the clear droplet that had formed there before she wrapped her hand around him again.
He held his breath when she raised her leg and began to position his cock, thinking she was about to put him inside her, but instead she placed his length between her smooth thighs and lowered her leg so he was trapped between her thighs, the backside of his cock pressed against her wet slit with the head poking out of the back of her legs.
Takashi groaned as he felt her nether-lips spread to hug his length. His hands went from her back to cup her rear, pulling her fully against him, and Saeko gasped as she slid along his length. She hugged herself to him as she rested her head on his shoulder, letting out a deep sigh. They stood like that for a time, simply feeling the other. Takashi’s hands began to knead her ass-cheeks, and Saeko responded by squeezing her legs together.
Another groan escaped Takashi as his length was squeezed between her thighs. Simply feeling himself pressed against her was enough to drive him crazy. He was overcome with the need to start moving, and so he gently pulled his hips back and then slid them forward again, allowing him to slide against her slit. This caused Saeko to inhale and then release the breath in a gasp. He repeated the motion, achieving the same reaction from her, the sensation sending a wave of pleasure through him as well.
He did it again, and this time he felt Saeko move her hips as well. He gripped her rear, squeezing her ass-cheeks, and pulled her against him the next time he thrust his hips forward, grinding her against him. Saeko gasped in response, and he did it again, and the two of them began grinding against each other.
Saeko’s arms tightened around him as they proceeded to rub against each other. Takashi could feel Saeko’s hot breath on his skin as she panted in his ear. Beads of sweat began appearing on their skin as their body temperatures rose with their activity as they continued to move, causing them to perspire. Takashi couldn’t believe how good this felt, and if just a thigh-job felt this amazing, he couldn’t wait to actually be inside her.
Saeko panted as Takashi’s cock rubbed against her entrance. It was an indescribable feeling that caused a knot to form in her stomach that slowly began to grow tighter. She had never been so turned on in her life, and thought she would go crazy from the pleasure, and they weren’t even having sex yet. She grunted as Takashi began grinding against her harder, and she squeezed her thighs together, eliciting a groan from her soon-to-be lover.
Lifting her head from his shoulder, she pressed her lips to his. She took charge of the kiss, shoving her tongue into his mouth, and showed him that her dueling skills were not limited to her sword. Their tongues slipped back and forth into each other’s mouths as they humped against each other, the sweat from their bodies allowing them to slide more easily against each other, causing Saeko’s breasts to rub sensually against his chest.
With his hands on her rear, she let Takashi guide the movements of her hips, and their pace increased. Saeko tore her lips from his as she gasped, biting down on her bottom one as she squeezed her eyes shut and rested her forehead against his. The fire in her belly was burning her alive, and she felt as if she were going to melt. She couldn’t stop moving her hips if she wanted to, and could only dig her fingers into his shoulders as she breathed heavily.
“Takashi!” she whispered loudly. “Takashi!”
Hearing her say his name like that, combined with the feel of her moving against him, was almost too much for Takashi to take. Crying out her name, he practically tackled her to the ground, though he had enough sense to protect her from the fall. Saeko cried out in surprise as they went down, and the next thing she knew, she was lying on the floor on her back with Takashi practically lying on top of her.
“Takashi, wha–”
She was cut off as Takashi slammed his lips over hers in a demanding kiss, and Saeko forgot what she had been about to say, along with all thought in general. Her arms once again wrapped around him as they made-out heavily, little whimpers escaping her as their tongues rubbed against each other.
As they got more and more lost in each other, Takashi’s embarrassment and nervousness evaporated. Saeko’s reaction to him had his confidence restored, and he decided to try something he had seen in his online porn viewing experiences. Not taking his lips off hers, he reached up and pried her arms from around him. Saeko groaned in protest against his lips, offering only slight resistance as he pinned her arms down above her head. She shifted beneath him out of her desire to touch him, but allowed him to hold her arms above her.
Transferring one of her hands to his other one so his left hand held down both of her wrists, he trailed his now free hand down her body. Saeko’s back arched off the floor as his hand traveled over her breasts and down her stomach until he reached her weeping center. He ran his middle finger up and down her slit, swallowing the moans she emitted at his touch.
Finding her clit, he took the small bundle of nerves between his thumb and index finger, rubbing them together, and Saeko practically jumped underneath him. He felt her attempt to pull her hands free, but he held her down. It had been a weak attempt though, and he knew that she was willingly letting him hold her captive. Saeko was strong, and could probably break his one-handed grip if she really wanted to.
When he stuck a finger inside her, Saeko tore her mouth from his as she cried out. She whimpered and moaned, turning her head away with her eyes squeezed shut as she bit her bottom lip. Takashi’s mouth instead moved down to her neck, seeking out her pulse point. He kissed and licked the sensitive part of her neck before latching his lips onto her skin and began sucking at her damp skin.
Saeko began to squirm underneath him when he added a second finger, thrusting them in and out of her as his thumb rubbed over her clit. She bent and unbent her legs as her hips gyrated against his hand, her breathing becoming more and more labored.
“Takashi,” she panted in a hushed voice, “your fingers, they’re…”
He smiled at her obvious enjoyment as he wiggled the digits inside her, making her moan. “Are you enjoying this, Saeko?” he teased.
“Yes!” she exclaimed, still not opening her eyes. “Yes!”
Her legs suddenly clamped tightly, trapping his hand, her toes curling. Takashi resisted the urge to chuckle at her reaction, and instead moved lower to her breasts, taking a nipple in his mouth. Saeko gasped out, her legs opening as her back arched, thrusting her breasts into the air. Takashi continued to suckle at her, lightly taking a nipple between his teeth and pulling at it, making her whimper.
He released her nipple, and Saeko collapsed against the floor, breathing heavily. He took his hand out from between her legs and brought his wet fingers up to his mouth. He put his middle finger in his mouth and sucked it clean before giving her a heated look. “You really do taste amazing, Saeko.”
Still panting, she opened her eyes and looked up at him. After a moment, she pulled her hands free of his hold and grasped his wrist. She brought his hand to her mouth and took his index finger between her lips and began sucking off her own juices, swirling her tongue around the digit. Takashi groaned as he watched Saeko clean his finger of her own essence, the sight making his cock throb.
The feel of her sucking on his finger and running her tongue over it was far more pleasurable than he thought it would be, and the way she kept her eyes locked on his the whole time made it even more erotic. He couldn’t help but wonder what it would feel like to have her mouth wrapped around another part of him, or maybe her breasts or ass-cheeks. Damn, this was making him feel like a real pervert. Maybe sometime in the future; this was only their first time after all, and something told him that this wouldn’t be the only time that they did this together.
Saeko continued to suck on his finger, her eyes remaining fixated on his, and then she pulled his finger from her mouth with a light pop. She gave him a smile and then moved his hand lower, placing it on her breast and holding it there. Takashi glanced at his hand for a few moments before looking at her, then leaned down to capture her lips.
They kissed for a time as Takashi kneaded the breast she had placed his hand on, then he detached his lips from hers and began kissing his way down her body. Saeko closed her eyes as she enjoyed the sensation of his lips against her skin as he made his way lower and lower. A giggle escaped her at the tickling sensation she felt as he traced his tongue over her bellybutton, and he glanced up at her with a smirk.
“Looks like I found a weak spot of yours,” he teased. “It seems that the great Saeko Busujima is a little ticklish. I’ll have to remember that in the future.”
An amused smile made its way across Saeko’s face as she stared up at the ceiling. “Is tickling me really what you want to do right now?”
He chuckled. No, it wasn’t tickling that he had in mind. He continued his way downward, and opened her legs. She spread them willingly, allowing him to see all of her, from the triangle of purple curls at the juncture of her thighs to her wet entrance beneath it, and the sight before him made Takashi’s mouth water. He’d enjoyed her taste on his fingers, and now he wanted it straight from the source. Besides, from all his internet porn experience, he knew that girls really enjoyed this.
This proved to be true when he gave her opening an experimental lick, and Saeko cried out loudly, practically leaping off the ground. For a moment, he thought that he had somehow hurt her, but quickly realized that her cry and reaction had been one of pleasure. He licked her again, and Saeko seemed to be more prepared this time, not reacting quite as strongly, but still jerking slightly and letting out a gasp.
He proceeded to run his tongue up and down her slit, and Saeko began whimpering. Her hands clenched into fists, and she raised them up to cover her eyes as she chewed on her bottom lip, hissing in pleasure and emitting other sounds of delight. Those sounds let Takashi know that he was doing it right, and he kept it up.
Saeko did her best to try and keep quiet. A small part was because she was a little worried that if there were any of Them outside the shrine that they would hear her, even though there had been none around when they had arrived, but it was mostly because she was embarrassed of the sounds she was making. Yet she found herself unable to keep quiet as Takashi’s tongue worked its magic on her.
When he actually placed his mouth on her, sticking his tongue inside her, she cried out louder than ever and rose off the ground until she was almost sitting up. Her hand flew down to grab the back of Takashi’s head, both to hold herself up and to pull his face deeper into her crotch. She remained partially sitting upright as she watched Takashi devour her, the sight of his head between her legs causing a blush to spread across her face, but she was too turned on to care about being embarrassed.
For a time, the only sounds that filled the shrine were Saeko’s pleasured noises and heavy breathing. That breathing became louder and more labored the longer Takashi feasted on her. She felt a pressure building in her stomach as she got closer and closer to the edge, the knot tightening. Through her whimpers and moans, she tried to get enough control of her voice to form words as she struggled to speak.
“T-Taka…shi… st-stop…” she somehow managed to get out. Yet even as she said it, she found herself pushing his face into her crotch even more. “Taka-Takashi… st…op… Stop!”
She clamped her legs tightly around his head, and the hand that had been on the back of it moved to the front to push him away, which was ironically prevented from her legs’ vice-like grip on him. She turned onto her side, taking Takashi with her, and he grunted as his neck and body twisted with her legs. But Saeko wasn’t focused on that right now as she panted heavily, trying to control her breathing and calm her racing heart.
Takashi blinked up at Saeko, wondering what had just happened. She really seemed to be enjoying herself, and then had suddenly demanded that he stop before crushing his head between her thighs and nearly snapping his neck. And while he had stopped pleasuring her, he was unable to pull away from her crotch.
“What’s wrong?” he asked, his voice muffled since his mouth was still pressed against her. “Are you ok?”
Saeko shivered as the vibrations from him speaking against her sent another wave of delight flowing through her. But then she opened her eyes and smiled down at him. “I’m wonderful. But I was about to cum, and I didn’t want to, not yet.” She lifted her leg, freeing his head, and turned onto her back. “When I cum for the first time with you, I want you to be inside me.” She held her hands out to him, beckoningly. “Come to me, Takashi.”
Takashi didn’t think he’d ever heard anything more erotic in his life. Not only because she had let him know how much he had pleased her, but her request told him just how much she wanted him, and not just for physical pleasure. And he had to admit, the thought of making her cum for the first time while inside her sent a possessive streak through him, a driving need to claim her as his own.
He began crawling his way back up her body. Saeko opened her legs for him, allowing him to move between her, stopping when they were eye-level. He felt his cock press against her slit, and a shiver ran through him. They were going to do it. The time had finally come. They were about to have sex.
“It’s going to hurt since it’s your first time,” he warned her.
Saeko just smiled knowingly. “I’m aware of how it works, Takashi. But my maidenhead actually tore long ago from all the physical activity I do, so it won’t be as bad.”
Well, Takashi was at least glad that she would be spared some pain. “It’ll still hurt though, from me… um…” he blushed and averted his eyes, “stretching you.”
Her smile became more appreciative, and she reached up to cup his cheek. “Like I said, I know how it works. And I appreciate the concern, but being able to unite with you will be worth any amount of pain.”
His hand came up to take hers, and he pressed a kiss to her palm before he interlocked their fingers. “Ready?”
At her nod, he laid down on her more fully and looked down at her, face flushed as he lined himself up at her entrance. He began to push himself forward and felt her open for him, feeling her wet heat beginning to envelop him. Saeko inhaled underneath him and he paused.
“Are you ok?” he asked in concern, worried he may be hurting her.
She let out a shaky breath she had taken in. “Don’t stop. Take me, Takashi. I want you so much. I need you inside me. Completely inside me. Give me all of you. Do it now.”
He gave her what she wanted. Thrusting deep and hard, he slammed himself into her until their hips met. A loud groan escaped Takashi as he felt her take him in fully, and Saeko cried out loudly, her back arching off the ground. Her whole body shuddered at the feel of being filled by him, and as her back came back down, she wrapped her arms around him tightly.
“Takashi!” she gasped out. “Ah! Takashi! Ahhh!”
Takashi barely registered her words. The feel of her heat and wetness wrapped around him, her tightness squeezing him as her inner muscles massaged his length, it was a sensory overload, making it hard to focus on anything else. He had enough sense to not instantly start moving like his body wanted him to, but he held still to give her time to adjust. Her hymen may have already been gone, just as she had said, since he hadn’t met any resistance, but he had still felt her stretch around him.
Saeko held onto him as her body adjusted to the invasion. Hymen or not, it had still hurt, but she didn’t care. He was inside her. Takashi was inside her. The two of them had become one. That alone brought on a whole new kind of joy to her that had nothing to do with physical pleasure, the thought nearly bringing tears to her eyes. Something like this with someone she cared so deeply for had always felt out of reach for her thanks to her inner darkness. And yet here he was, accepting her, embracing her, making love to her. It made the whole experience even more special.
Her hold on him loosened as the pain started to dissipate, and she buried her face into his neck, nuzzling him. “Takashi… I can feel you. I can feel you inside me…”
“Saeko…” he breathed out, his voice ragged, and he lifted his head to look down at her. “You feel incredible.”
His words made her smile up at him. “So do you. I wanted this so much.”
“Saeko…”
He leaned down and kissed her. She opened for him, and their lips and tongues began moving against each other. Takashi shifted on top of her, the movement making Saeko shiver and moan, which, in turn, sent a wave of pleasure through him, and he tore his mouth from hers. If he didn’t start moving, he was going to lose his mind.
“Saeko, I can’t…” he grunted, trying to hold himself back. “I need to…”
The way he was struggling to keep his desires in check for her made her smile, and she stroked his face. “It’s ok, Takashi. You can start moving now. I’m good to contin– Ah!”
As soon as she had given him permission, he had pulled back and slammed back in. She had been unprepared for the feeling of pleasure she would feel at the movement, and her eyes practically bulged out. He didn’t immediately start thrusting though and simply held himself inside her again for a few seconds before repeating the motion. Another pleasured cry escaped Saeko as he slammed into her, then held himself there once more, albeit for a shorter time. Then he did it again, getting the same response.
Each time he pulled back to slam into her, the waiting period was shorter before he pulled back again. And soon, there was no longer any pauses, and he began to repeatedly thrust into her. Every thrust was accompanied by a grunt from him and a moan from her as they slowly began to build up a rhythm. As he brought his hips down, Saeko brought hers up to meet his thrusts, the two of them extracting sounds of pleasure from each other.
Saeko’s eyes eye shut as she relished in the feel of Takashi moving inside her. The pain was long gone, having faded quickly, and she was only greeted with pleasure each time their hips met. Every cell in her body felt alive and on fire. She had already been close to the edge when Takshi had used his mouth on her before she had stopped him, and now she was rapidly reaching that precipice again. She hugged Takashi to her tightly, her nails digging into his damp skin as her bent legs hung in the air on either side of him. Takashi had his head buried in the crook of her neck as she panted and moaned in his ear, her cries becoming louder and more frequent the closer she got to her release.
It hit her fast and suddenly. The knot in her stomach came undone, and waves of pleasure shot through her body. She cried out loudly, her arms somehow tightening around him even more as her nails dug into his back deeply. She locked her legs around him, her toes curling in ecstasy as her whole body shook in utter rapture.
Takashi hadn’t thought there was anything more pleasurable than being inside Saeko. He realized how wrong he was when he felt her cum around him. He felt her grow impossibly wetter as her inner muscles seemed to be milking his cock, and her whole body shuddered in his arms as she desperately clung to him. Her nails bit into his back and her loud voice rang in his ear, but none of that mattered. Her reaction was nothing less than beautiful, and the feel of her was as close to Heaven as one could get without actually dying. He hadn’t even realized that he had stopped moving in light of feeling Saeko achieve orgasm, needing to feel her cumming around his full length.
Saeko saw stars behind her eyes as white-hot pleasure coursed through her. She held onto Takashi as tightly as she could, needing to anchor herself to something. Her mind had completely gone blank as she was carried away by the waves of pleasure. She didn’t know if sex was meant to be this good in general or if it was because it was with Takashi, but if she were capable of thought right now, she wouldn’t have cared; she was just glad that it was with him.
She wasn’t sure how long her orgasm lasted, but it felt like forever before she began to come down. Her head fell back, but her arms and legs remained wrapped around him. She panted heavily, each breath pushing her breasts into Takashi’s chest. This time a few tears did manage to creep into her eyes from the intensity of her orgasm.
Looking down at her face, Takashi took note of her tears, and they caused him to worry once more, afraid that he had hurt her. “Saeko, I’m sorry. Was I being too rough?”
Still panting, she opened her eyes and reached up, grasping the back of his head and pulling him down into a heated kiss. And when they broke apart, she gave him a hungry look. “More. I want more. Keep making love to me, Takashi. Don’t hold back. I’m not going to break. Be as rough as you want. I can take it. I want it.”
His eyebrows rose in surprise. It seemed she wasn’t hurt at all. In fact, she was asking him to be rougher, to not hold back. And he had been holding back, wanting to be more careful for her first time, despite her lack of hymen. But not only did she want him to not hold back, she had already achieved orgasm. So soon? They had barely started. Was her cumming so quickly a result of how close their foreplay had brought her, or was it an indication of his skill as a lover? Both options caused him to fill with pride, and he smirked down at her.
“Yes, ma’am,” he said, letting his cockiness slip into his tone.
Burying his face into the crook of her neck, he slammed into her, hard. Saeko cried out loudly, the hand on the back of his head dropping down to his back as he resumed moving inside her. He held nothing back now, giving her exactly what she asked for, thrusting into her rapidly as she clung to him, her legs locked around his waist.
Saeko’s cries filled the shrine. Any concern of possibly being overheard by any of the dead that might be lurking outside were forgotten as they got lost in each other. Saeko couldn’t keep quiet if she wanted to, and Takashi wanted nothing more than to hear her cries of delight as he let out his own pleasured grunts as he thrusted into her.
Both were perspiring so profoundly it was as if they were in a sauna rather than a shrine. The sweat pouring off them aided their movements, causing them to slowly slide across the polished wooden floor. Saeko didn’t even notice. All she was aware of was the feel of Takashi on her and in her. She took everything he gave as he slammed into her, and only wanted more. She moved in sync with him, panting and moaning, encouraging his movements with her heels to help pull him into her with every thrust.
“God, Saeko, you feel so damn good!” he exclaimed.
He did as well, but she couldn’t seem to form any coherent words other than moans and his name occasionally slipping past her lies. Eventually though, she felt her head lightly thump against something and turned her head to realize that they had somehow slid all the way across the wooden floor until they reached the wall. A wicked part of Saeko’s mind suddenly envisioned him taking her against it. Something to try later, she decided. For now, the thought of other positions made her want to try being in control.
“Takashi… hold on,” she gasped out breathlessly, unwrapping an arm from around him and placing her hand against his chest to stop his movements.
He paused, looking down at her. “Are you ok?”
She once again detected a note of worry in his voice and gave him a reassuring smile. He was still worrying about her, even after what she had said. That was one of the things she really loved about him, his constant worry and care for others. But in time she would show him that she would be fine with whatever he did to her body.
“I’m fine, you didn’t do anything wrong,” she assured him. She lifted herself up to whisper seductively in his ear. “It’s my turn now.”
Before he could ask what she meant, she suddenly flipped them over so she was on top and he was the one on his back. The motion caused him to slip out of her, and Saeko crouched over him, reaching up to push her damp hair out of her face. Takashi stared up at her and she gave him a playful smile then crooked her finger at him in a come-hither gesture.
Takashi sat up to a sitting position so their faces were just inches apart. They stared at each other for a few moments before leaning in and kissing. They came apart a few seconds later, and Saeko rose to her feet. She lifted a foot, pressing it against his chest, and gently applied some pressure.
“Up against the wall, Komuro,” she told him with playful authority.
Takashi glanced over his shoulder, then shuffled back until he was against the wall. Saeko’s smile widened as she approached. She showed no shame or embarrassment about her body being on full display to him, but with a body like hers, she had nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed of. And as she walked up to him, standing over him so his lower body was between her legs, she dropped down to her knees so she was straddling him, placing her hands on his shoulders, his erection resting against her stomach.
“I get to be in control now,” she told him, and then her smile became more mischievous. “Maybe this will finally make you stop worrying about whether or not you’re hurting me.”
He blushed. “Sorry.”
She chuckled. “Don’t be sorry, it’s sweet. Just stop worrying, and let’s enjoy ourselves.”
Reaching down, she took hold of him. Rising up a bit, she thrust her hips forward as she pressed his erection against her slit. Even she was surprised by her boldness as she held his length against her and rubbed herself against it, but she felt too good to care. And after teasing them both a bit, she rose up higher so she could insert the tip inside her again. She then returned her hands to his shoulder and sank down onto him, her eyes sliding shut as she did so. She heard Takashi groan as she engulfed him, and the sound brought a pleased smile to her face.
“S-Saeko…” he grunted, and his hands moved to grip her hips.
“Mmm,” she muttered, leaning her head back as she let out a long breath of air. “I love the feel of you inside me. I can feel you touching my womb. You fit me perfectly, Takashi.”
He was inclined to agree. He may have been a virgin before tonight, but it did indeed feel as if their bodies were made for each other, like two puzzle pieces fitting perfectly into place. His grip on her hips tightened as she remained on her knees in his lap, her legs on either side of him as her body kept him trapped inside her warm confines. In this position, it felt as if he was penetrating her even deeper, and he swore that he could indeed feel his top brushing against the entrance to her cervix.
Rising up, Saeko looked down at him. She followed his downward gaze to where they were connected, and when he looked up to meet her eyes, she gave him a smile. Then her grip on his shoulders tightened as she rose up on her knees until he was almost out of her, and then lowered herself. She heard him groan loudly and would have smiled at his response had her own mouth not fallen open in a gasp. She then began moving up and down on him, using his shoulders for leverage as she lifted herself up then dropped back down.
Takashi grit his teeth as Saeko rose and fell. Her movements were sure and confident, just as she always seemed to be. Aside from the initial moments of shyness and embarrassment she had shown, one would never have guessed that she was a virgin. And as much as he loved being on top of Saeko earlier, he also loved her being in control.
The different position offered a different but equally as enjoyable experience. The feel of her gripping his shoulder, her hot breath on his face as she panted, her breasts brushing his chest, her hips meeting his, the feel of his cock-head bumping against her womb. There was so much to feel, so much to experience, and it was all so pleasurable. And as she bounced in his lap, her eyes squeezed shut in ecstasy, he did his best to thrust up into her whenever her hips came back down.
For a time, he let her continue to rise and fall on him as he rested against the wall, helping to guide her movements with his hands on her hips, but as her pebbled nipples continued to graze his chest as she rose and fell, he was overcome with the urge to feel her pressed against him. He pushed away from the wall and wrapped his arms around her, holding her close. Saeko’s own arms instantly went around him as well, her breasts now squashed against his chest. Their lips instantly met as they exchanged deep, heated kisses, only separating for the briefest moment to suck in some air. All the while, Saeko kept moving, only now she rocked her hips against him instead of going up and down.
Saeko finally pulled away from his mouth with a loud gasp and rested her chin on his shoulder as she began to chant his name in his ear. It seemed to be the only speech she was capable of while Takashi appeared to be incapable of speaking at all. He instead buried his face in the crook of her neck and tasted the saltiness of her skin. Saeko cried out as he gently nipped her, instinctually tilting her head to give him better access, wanting him to mark her.
Takashi worked his way down Saeko’s neck to her shoulder and then down to her breasts. The further down he went, the more Saeko leaned back to give him room. She stopped moving on him and cried out as his mouth latched onto her nipple, and one of his hands moved to grasp her other breast as his other hand remained on her back to support her as he dipped her back. Saeko’s own hands were holding onto the back of his head, both to prevent her from falling back and to pull him further into her chest.
She decided that Takashi’s hands and mouth were magic, there was no other way to describe it. And the feel of his cock inside her, she had no words for it. She didn’t know how long it had been since she came, but she guessed at least several minutes. She wanted to bring the same pleasure to Takashi as well, and she released his head and reached back to balance on one hand as her other gripped his shoulder. She began thrusting against him, moving her hips forward and back as she kept him buried as deeply as she could, squeezing her inner muscles in the process.
Saeko’s hips were undulating on him as she panted loudly, and Takashi detached his mouth from Saeko’s breast as he practically cried out. His eyes were shut tight, but the feel of Saeko squeezing her inner muscles around his cock as she moved on him had him seeing stars behind his lids. He once again leaned back against the wall as his hands reached for her bouncing breasts, grasping them in his palms.
Saeko hissed in pleasure, reaching back with both hands to grasp his knees to push harder against him, her hips moving faster and faster as she started to lose control, her movements becoming frantic. Her sweat-slicked hair clung to her shoulders, chest, and face, and she briefly reached up to brush it back. She wanted to look at Takashi, to see the look of pleasure on his face, but her eyes didn’t seem to want to stay open, and would always flutter closed again. The now familiar feeling coiling in her stomach began to bubble up, and she knew it wouldn’t be long before she would be hit with another orgasm. She was determined to have Takashi get there with her though, and so paused in her movements to try and regain control of her body.
Takashi offered her no reprieve though. Wrapping his arms around her, he shifted underneath her and rose to his knees. Saeko whimpered as she grasped his shoulders again, shifting in his lap as she sat practically impaled on him. Then he began moving, the position allowing him to thrust into her much easier. His hands grasped her bottom, pulling her against him to meet each of his thrusts. All Saeko could do was cling to him so she wouldn’t fall back as she did her best to meet each of her thrusts.
Unbeknownst to Saeko, Takashi was quickly reaching his own end. But the sight of Saeko lost in orgasm had been the hottest thing he had ever seen, and he wanted to witness it once more since he didn’t know when he would be able to see it again. And based on the way she was writhing around in his arms, he didn’t think it would be much longer, he just hoped he would be able to hold out until then.
“Takashi!” she cried loudly as she thrust her hips against him. “Takashi!”
She leaned back further so she was facing the ceiling and began slamming her hips against him in a frenzy as she began losing all control. Only her hold of his shoulders prevented her from falling back. One of Takashi’s hands went from her hip to the middle of her back as he dipped her back and lowered her down to the ground. He returned his hand to her hip as he remained on his knees, rising up higher, and Saeko released him and grasped her own breasts as he rose up.
Lifting her lower body into the air so she rested on her shoulders, Takashi began pushing and pulling her against him as he thrusted into her. Saeko locked her legs around his waist, her back bowed as her head twisted from side to side. Releasing her breasts, her hands closed into fists and slammed on the floor, her nails digging into her palms. She thrust herself against Takashi as he pulled her against him, using her legs wrapped around him to aid her movements. Her mouth hung open as she panted heavily, unable to resist the approach of her orgasm.
“Takashi, I’m almost there!” she practically shouted. “I’m so close!”
“Me too, Saeko!” he gasped out as he slammed into her. “I can’t hold it anymore!”
She was glad to hear it, and did her best to hold off on her own release. “Cum with me, Takashi! Let’s cum together! I want to feel you release inside me!”
Takashi swore and rapidly thrusted into her. Despite his claim of almost reaching his end, he was still able to hold back for another minute or two before he could no longer take it. Gripping Saeko’s hips almost painfully, his fingers digging into her flesh nearly hard enough to bruise, he slammed into her one final time as he pulled her hard against him. He let out a grunting cry as he erupted inside of her, achieving a release that caused any he had experienced in the past with his hand to pale in comparison.
Saeko felt him explode inside her, feeling his hot seed coat her inner walls. At the feel of his cock spurting inside her, she let go of her restraint and shouted out her own release, her back arching even further until she was practically balancing on her head. The feel of him cumming inside her, coupled with her own orgasm and the knowledge that they were cumming together, was overwhelming on both a physical and emotional level. Her entire body shook almost violently as her screaming continued to echoed through the shrine, a sex flush coloring her pale, sweaty form.
Takashi’s eyes and teeth were shut tight as he pulled Saeko against him as hard as he could. Stars continued to dance behind his eyes as he continued to spill inside her. He could feel her cumming as well and would have unleashed another gasp of pleasure, but he seemed to have forgotten how to breathe. His own body had shivers running through it, though not as extensively as Saeko’s.
As he finished emptying himself, the tension left his body, and he began to relax, coming down to sit on his knees as he finally suck in some air, attempting to catch his breath. Saeko’s body was still jerking in orgasm as he loosened his hold on her and set her down. He released her hips and felt the strength leaving his body as his muscles went slack. He fell forward, coming down on Saeko, though he made sure not to simply collapse on top of her, somehow finding enough strength to gently lower himself down on top of her.
Saeko was slowly coming down from her high, but shivers of pleasure still wracked her body. She felt Takashi blanket her with his body and relished in the weight of him on top of her. She unlocked her legs from around him and wrapped her arms around him instead, holding him close as she tried to catch her own breath. The occasionally shiver still ran through her, but for the most part, her orgasm had subsided, and she was left with a feeling of joy and contentment.
She kept her eyes closed and a happy smile spread across her face as they laid there in each other’s arms for the next several minutes in post-coitus bliss, feeling each other’s heartbeats against their chests. When her limbs no longer felt limp, she hugged Takashi tightly to herself and pressed a kiss to his shoulder. He lifted his head from her shoulder and shifted above her, and Saeko opened her eyes to see him looking down at her. Her smile widened at the tender look in his eyes as his hand came up to cup her chin, his thumb lightly stroking her lips before he leaned down and kissed her.
They exchanged chaste kisses for a time, simply expressing their emotions. Both were exhausted from their activities and the intensity of the pleasure they had given to each other, their bodies completely spent. Eventually though, Takashi began to extract himself from her, the sweat from their bodies having cooled, causing their skin to stick together as he rolled off her.
His now flaccid member slipped out of her, and Saeko immediately missed the feel of him inside her, as well as his weight on top of her. The latter didn’t last long though as he turned on his side and gathered her into his arms so they were spooned up against each other, and Saeko decided that she liked the way this felt as well.
A deep sigh escaped her as she felt more at peace than she could ever remember feeling, at least since her assault. And safe. Here in Takashi’s arms was the safest she had felt since the appearance of Them. And as dark and twisted as it sounded, a part of her was glad the outbreak had happened if it led the two of them here. She never would have thought she’d find herself being intimate with Takashi. She would never forget the feel of him inside her. She could still feel him inside her, and a part of him was, deep within her womb, and the thought sent a thrill through her.
But she was not ignorant of the situation. As much as she wished that the two of them could stay holed up in this shrine and make love for days on end, she knew that they had to get back to the others. They would be waiting for them at the Takagi Estate. And getting there would most likely mean fighting through more of Them.
“Takashi,” she said quietly, and heard him let out a sleepy “Hmm?”, making her smile in amusement, “what are we going to do for tomorrow?”
“We meet up with the other’s at Takagi’s house.”
Saeko playfully rolled her eyes, even though he couldn’t see. “I meant about getting there. It could be difficult with just the two of us and all of Them running around. What if I…?”
Freeze up again. She didn’t say it, but the words hung in the air. They couldn’t afford to have something like that happen again. Had Takashi not come barreling in and saved her from those zombie kids, she would be dead. He may know the reason why she had froze, but that didn’t mean it wouldn’t happen again.
She felt him tighten his hold on her. “Don’t worry about that right now. We’ll deal with it if and when it happens. But I have faith in you, Saeko. I always feel safe when you’re around.”
She almost laughed at that. It was her who felt safe with him around. But maybe that’s how this was supposed to work; they were meant to keep each other safe. But there in lied the problem. She didn’t know if she could keep him safe, not without showing him her inner darkness. That had been the whole reason she had frozen up. She had been afraid of what Takashi would think of her if he saw the thrill she got out of savagely massacring those zombie children. To reveal that part of herself, that closely guarded secret, it meant no going back. She may have told him about her inner darkness, but to actually see it would be something else entirely.
Takashi felt how tense she had become and knew that she was thinking about what would happen if she let out her inner darkness, fearing what he would think of her. What she failed to realize, or what she refused to accept, was that he admired that part of her. Her determination to survive, her desire to utterly destroy her enemies, the thrill she got at cutting Them to pieces, he respected that, even if she saw it as some kind of flaw on her part.
What he had told her was true. Ever since They appeared, he had changed as a person. He too now experienced a twisted thrill in blowing off and bashing in the heads of those walking corpses, relishing in the violence, all the carnage bringing a smile to his face. He still remembered that rush that went through him when he shot that punk who had tried to abduct Rei.
In the old world, that would have been concerning, but in this world, it was an asset. It didn’t matter to him whether he had become like this after the outbreak while she had been this way before it; this was the world they lived in now, it was what they needed to become in order to survive.
If anything, he found it even more admirable that she had kept that dark part of herself hidden and in check before the outbreak. But there was no longer any need for that. And perhaps everyone had their own inner darkness that wanted to get out, and all it took was the right trigger to unleash it. For Saeko, it had been her assault. For him, it had been when They arrived.
But the fact that Saeko didn’t want to hurt others and didn’t want to be viewed as a monster, that’s what mattered. Despite her inner darkness, she was still a kind and compassionate person. Unlike the bastard he had shot and left for dead who didn’t care about anyone and actually wanted to hurt people. That’s what was really important, what one did with their darkness. And if enjoying violently slicing apart a bunch of zombies offered an outlet to that darkness, then Takashi saw no problem with it. What more, he viewed it as a good thing.
The hand he had wrapped around her came up to cup her breast as he pressed a kiss to the back of her neck. “Sleep now, Saeko. And stop thinking you’re a bad person. I know you’re not, even if you disagree. You’re an amazing person, and whatever darkness you carry doesn’t change that. No matter what you’re dealing with, I promise I won’t leave you. I accept every part of you, including the parts you reject. And whatever the future holds, we’ll face it together.”
He may not have been able to see her face, but he knew she was listening intently to what he was saying, and he soon felt the tension leave her body. He smiled as she relaxed, and his own eyes began to droop shut as the exhaustion of the day began to drag him into sleep.
Saeko could tell when he dropped off based on his breathing and the way he held her. His hand still remained on her breast though, and she reached up to hug his arm to her chest, finding his touch comforting and reassuring. Her own eyes began to drift shut as her own exhaustion got the better of her. But as tiring and stressful as the day had been, she couldn’t think of a better way to spend it than cutting her way through Them with Takashi by her side, and then the two of them fiercely making love into the night before falling asleep in each other’s arms. And as she too drifted off, she couldn’t help but wonder what tomorrow would bring.
And tomorrow came all too soon. Both she and Takashi had been so exhausted that the night seemed to pass in an instant the moment they had fallen asleep. Saeko found that she very much enjoyed waking up in Takashi’s arms as he gently shook her awake, and she had a feeling that he equally enjoyed waking up with her there as well. But as much as she would have liked to have a repeat of last night, she didn’t need him to tell her that they had to get to the Takagi Estate; the sooner the better. The others would be waiting for them, and they needed to regroup to figure out what to do next.
So they quickly got dressed, getting ready to head out into the dead-filled world. Takashi’s clothes were a little less elaborate to put on, and so he finished getting dressed before her. He went to check if the coast was clear, carefully poking his head outside to look around before glancing back at her as she finished putting her skirt on.
“We’ll get to the street from the back,” he told her, mapping out the best route in his head. “We should be able to get to Takagi’s house in about twenty minutes by foot.”
He barely had the words out of his mouth before he caught sign of movement in his peripheral vision. Turning to look at the entrance of the shrine, he gasped as he saw one of Them beginning to make its way up the stairs. This one was followed by another, and then another, until several dozen began making their way over to them. There hadn’t been any around the area last night, so where did they come from?
“Why are they here!?” he exclaimed as he looked around at all the dead coming towards them. “We didn’t make any noise! God dammit! I don’t understand!”
But a moment later, he did. They had been making noise the other night, and plenty of it. There hadn’t been any of Them around the shrine when they had taken shelter in it last night, but the dead were drawn to sound. In fact, they seemed hypersensitive to it, even seemingly relying solely on it since their eyes no longer seemed to work, which somehow seemed to give them almost sonar-like hearing, allowing them to zero in on their prey at the slightest noise.
Had their cries of passion from last drawn Them here? Saeko in particular had been very vocal, and he supposed that their cries would have echoed from inside the shrine. As the two of them had gotten lost in each other, had the dead gathered around the shrine last night, but had been unable to find a way in, and so had aimlessly wandered around the area, not heading too far from the shrine even after he and Saeko had fallen asleep, and were now heading back over here?
It was the only explanation. And while Takashi didn’t regret what they did, he cursed their carelessness. They should have realized that they were making too much noises with the way they had been going at it, but they had been too wrapped up in each other to notice. That had been a foolish mistake on their part that had now landed them in hot water.
He looked back at the swordswoman. “Saeko, I say we make a run for it.”
He gasped as he noticed the look on her face. It was similar to the one she’d had when she told him that she realized that she hadn’t changed. Or, no, not exactly the same. She almost looked heartbroken, perhaps. Did she still have doubts about her worthiness? That would explain the heartbreak, as if she had gotten a taste of the love she craved, but knew that it was out of her reach because it was something she didn’t deserve. It was the only reason Takashi could think of as to why she looked like that.
Saeko’s shoulders sank as she watched the dead approach, not even bothering to take up her sword. Their little bubble that had surrounded the two of them last night had popped, and they were now back in the real world, and that left her facing the same reality she had been caught up in before. And with all the dead surrounding them, she realized that she was going to have to fight, she was going to have to let the darkness out.
Yes, Takashi knew her secret now, but she still didn’t want him to actually see that part of her, she still didn’t want to truly let the monster out of its cage. Despite what he had said and what they had done, she still didn’t think she was deserving of love, and possibly even life.
Unbeknownst to her, Takashi had guessed her thoughts exactly. After having had a taste of the love she thought was forever out of reach, she didn’t want to ruin the memory of last night by having Takashi look at her with revulsion when he truly saw the real her in action. She didn’t think she could take it.
She opened her mouth to say something, but words failed her, and she realized she had nothing to say. What could she say after everything that had happened? She felt weak and helpless in light of it all, and so she closed her eyes and curled in on herself, letting out a small whimper as she began trembling.
Takashi saw this, saw the reluctance written all over her face, and, to his horror, watched as it gave way to resignation. To what, he wasn’t entirely sure, but he wasn’t having it. He’d seen that resignation last night. Whatever fate Saeko had just resigned herself to, he wouldn’t let her. If he hadn’t made his point clear to her last night, then he would make it now.
As she stood trembling, he marched over to her and came to a stop in front of her. “Saeko!”
She opened her eyes and looked up at him in surprise. A gasp escaped her when she saw Takashi standing directly in front of her, looking at her with an intense but unreadable expression. She felt herself blush under his gaze, but still couldn’t bring herself to let out her darkness.
“I can’t do it,” she told him quietly.
And it was in that moment that she realized that she didn’t just mean reveal her darkness to Takashi. She meant in general, to truly let it out. She was afraid of what it would mean for her of what it would do to her as a person. After keeping it in check for so long, how would it affect her to let that darkness out and embrace it, truly embrace it. And what would he think of her after seeing it? She was afraid to find out.
Without really thinking about what he was doing, Takashi suddenly maneuvered around Saeko and grabbed her from behind. His hand came up and aggressively grabbed her breast in a mockery of the position they had fallen asleep in last night, and he gripped her painfully tight, his fingers digging into her flesh through her clothes, snapping her back and keeping her in the reality of the world.
Saeko winced as he squeezed her breast to the point of it hurting, yet a blush still spread across her face at his touch. The pain and placement of his hand was enough to yank her out of whatever depressed mental state she had allowed herself to slip into, and she glanced at him over her shoulder.
“Stop,” she whimpered. “What… What are you doing?”
He just gripped her breast tighter, his voice hard and authoritative when he spoke. “Don’t even think for a minute that you’re quitting on me now, you got it! We’ve come too far, there’s no way we’re giving up! To die like this, have these dead motherfuckers take us down here, it’s not gonna happen! You’re coming with me!”
A breath escaped her as she caught the double meaning of his words. He didn’t mean just how far they had come in terms of survival, he was also referring to the two of them in general, of how far they had come as people, of how much they’ve grown as individuals, and of how close they had become. He was not willing to accept defeat after all that, not when they still had room to grow and see where this new world took them.
His voice grew harder, becoming almost angry, and he squeezed her breast even tighter, to the point where a pained cry escaped her. “Because whether you like it or not, I need you!”
She cried out again and threw her head back as he squeezed even tighter, her cry pain-filled, but also with a hint of pleasure. But the pain kept her grounded, assuring that she heard his words and registered the full impact of them so she wouldn’t get lost in her morbid thoughts like she did last night when he had tried to console her.
Takashi was aware that he was hurting Saeko, and he didn’t like that he was, but he needed her to hear him, because he meant every word of what he said. He really did need her, not just to survive, but in his life, to the point where he was afraid of what would happen to his own sanity if he did lose her. And, in a way, perhaps that too was another survival coping mechanism. Mental state was just as important to survival as one’s physical state, and the thought of losing Saeko, he couldn’t stand it.
Actually, it infuriated him. And the thought of how she didn’t think of herself as worthy of life and love utterly filled him with rage. He would do anything to keep her with him, and wasn’t going to let anything take her away. If that meant accepting her darkness, no matter how deep it ran or how sadistic it was, then he would do it, and he needed to convey that to her so there was no longer any doubt in her mind.
In fact, the darker she was, the better. It would only increase their likelihood of survival. In this dead infested world, a nature like that was beneficial. What would be looked down on in the old world was now of value in this one. So of course he would accept it, just as he accepted and embraced his own darkness. And if she needed a reason to go on living, then he would become that reason. And in return, he would keep her safe as well, and accept full responsibility for her, in all things.
“Maybe that son of a bitch deserved to die,” he continued, driving his point home, “who knows!? I don’t give a shit about what you did before, I just care about what you do now!”
The wind blew through the entrance to the shrine as the dead approached, emitting mindless groans. And as they stood there as the zombies got closer, he felt Saeko relax in his arms and let out a breath. He loosened his grip on her breast as they both returned their attention to the approaching problem at hand, and Saeko glanced back at him.
“Thank you,” she told him, sounding calm and back to normal. “I’m ok now.”
He could hear it in her voice, a new kind of acceptance, one different from the despairing resignation from before. And as she stepped out of his arms, he let her go, sensing a change in her. She calmly walked towards the dead before pausing and looking back at him, a small smile on her face.
“What are you waiting for?” she asked in an equally calm voice. “Let’s go.”
She then turned back to the zombies and took a fighting stance. Her hand fell to the hilt of her sword, and she unsheathed it. Usually when deal with Them, she would keep her sword in its sheath so as not to dull the blade, but not this time. And Takashi realized that she was about to do it, she was about to let the monster out of its cage and show him the full extent of the darkness she had kept hidden for so long.
With a grunt, she charged forward, and slayed the zombie of what appeared to be the shrine maiden. She then immediately turned to the next closest one and attacked it as well. Takashi looked on as she continued to attack, stunned at what he saw. When she had attacked Them in the past, it had always been for the purpose of survival. And while she was doing that now as well, there was also a brutality to it that hadn’t been there before.
He could see it, she was enjoying herself, immensely. It wasn’t just an enjoyment as in her having fun either. No, the look on her face was akin to the one he had seen last night while he had been inside her. She was taking actual sexual pleasure in what she was doing. And it was beautiful.
Takashi stood frozen in place as he watched Saeko got to work, unable to tear his eyes away. She was utterly mesmerizing with the way she cut down all those in her path. He supposed he could understand why she would be afraid to show this side of herself to him, to anyone for that matter. But he wasn’t repulsed or horrified. No, he was completely enraptured. What more, he was glad that she was finally showing this side of herself to him, and he found himself respecting and admiring her all the more. This was her, the hidden side of herself finally laid bare, and he couldn’t help but be amazed.
He finally snapped out of his stupor when he realized that she had become surrounded by three of Them coming at her at once from different sides. Realizing that she was cornered, he called out her name in warning. She calmly glanced back at him, looking completely unconcerned. And then a confident, borderline sadistic smirk crept across her face, and she went on the attack again, easily cutting them all down.
It was a massacre. And when it was over, a pile of severed, bloody bodies lay in pieces all across the yard, those whose heads were still intact continuing to move with whatever limbs they still had left. And while other people may look on in horror and disgust, Takashi didn’t so much as hesitate as he rushed to Saeko’s side, completely unfazed by all the carnage.
“Saeko, this way!” he told her, making a run for it before any more showed up.
She immediately followed after him, and they rushed down the stairs of the shrine and down to the street. They continued running down the road together, heading for the Takagi Estate where they would meet up with their friends.
“Wait a minute!” Saeko called after him, and he paused for her to catch up. When she did, she immediately grabbed his hand, and gave him a look of complete adoration, a blush present on her cheeks that had nothing to do with the exertion she had just built up from fighting off the dead. “You meant what you said, right?”
She gave his hand a squeeze as she stared at him with a smile on her face. One spread across Takashi’s face as well as he squeezed her hand back, giving her a serious look that held so much promise for their future.
“Hell’s yeah!” he shouted out, with no care of whatever undead were nearby to hear his cry.
THE END

(A/N: Well, there you go. Did that satisfy you pervs? Haha, just kidding. I do hope you enjoyed it though. I must say, this lemon writing practice is working. The scenes still feel awkward to write, but I am getting more comfortable with writing them. But of course, I don't do pure smut, we got a lot of inner dialogue from both Saeko and Takashi, along with some further examination on their relationship. I'm still bummed that the series was dropped and we'll never get to see them end up together, because that was confirmed to be the endgame for them, but we'll always have our imaginations. In the meantime, your feedback would be appreciated. See you next time.)

Shrine Of The Dead
