The Power of Desire
Leo
We had stopped to camp under another wayward pine. The rain could be heard violently beating the branches of the tree. We huddled around the small fire, our only protection from the damp cold waiting just beyond the needles of our hovel. Raina was whittling a piece of wood, don't ask how, and it was starting to resemble a raichu. I watched as she slowly dragged the blade of her knife across the surface of the wood, making a pile of long curls. She periodically pushed them into the fire.
Turning from her, I looked at Aditi. She was sitting eyes closed, knees held to her chest. She was distanced from everyone else, at least three feet away from all of us. As I watched her she opened her eyes and looked at me. Blushing, she quickly looked away. I decided not to bother and looked around the rest of our group. Scar was staring at Aditi, but he wasn't just looking at her, he was staring at her, and it unsettled me. I shrugged it off and looked for Terra.
I jumped slightly when I found her staring at me over the flames, in much the same way Scar watched Aditi. Now I was even more uncomfortable, because under the strange stare was the same look she had given me when I had decided to take the bag of supplies. I think it was distrust, or maybe disbelief, either way it wasn't nice to know that the stare was settled on you. We continued to watch each other for awhile when Ember came swinging down from the branches above us and tackled me.
Caught off guard I gave a shout of protest before being knocked on my back.
"Ember, what the hell? Are you trying to scare me to death?" Ember only laughed at my protests.
"Tonight, Leo, I will have you. Consensually." She laughed at me. I glanced around, seeking help. Raina was sitting open mouthed, dropping her carving into the fire, Terra looked angry, Scar was still staring at Aditi, and Aditi herself was smiling strangely. Before any of us could react there was a blinding light.
"Behold! I am the brilliant XiD, all may bow before me." I rubbed my eyes and looked at the bastard in the center of our camp.
"Hey, brilliant dumb ass, you're standing on our fire." XiD looked down, thought for a second, then began dancing around and hopping on his burnt feet. Raina quickly grabbed him and pulled him to the ground.
"Terra, would you mind trying to find a Burn Heal in that bag, there has to be one somewhere." She said calmly. I took the surprising moment to throw Ember at Scar, whose face she promptly clamped to. He finally stopped staring at Aditi to pry the little monkey off of him. I ignored them to help Raina hold down the squirming XiD.
"It'll be over a lot quicker if you stop wiggling." Terra was saying. I stared at her, confused as to why she wasn't freaking out at the sight of yet another half-breed. She noticed me staring and sighed. "Leo after being in this group for so long I've learned to expect anything." Her voice was missing the bubbly energy it usually had. I looked at XiD who was smiling again.
"Now I get it." He said, "You didn't screw Aditi cause of this chick. Dijo dijo dijo, you need higher standards." Terra and I promptly hit him on the head. Terra turned to me, rage plain on her face.
"You did what, with Aditi?" She all but growled. I smiled sheepishly. I looked at Aditi, hoping for some support, but she had that smile again and just shrugged. I noticed Scar staring at her again, and I realized it made me angry. Shaking it of I turned back Terra. I jumped back at the glaring face that was inches from my nose now. I gasped, scrambled back and got pinned against a tree. Stuck, trapped between Terra and a hard place.
"Dijo dijo dijo, she practically forced herself on him. He probably would've done it, but I guess you passed through his mind or something. I just thought he was gay, dijo dijo dijo." Terra's faced softened for a moment.
"Really Leo? Did thoughts of me... AAHHH!" Terra never got to finish because Ember had jumped onto her shoulders and was pulling her hair.
"Hell no! He's mine Terra!" She was dragging Terra back, but that was Ember for you. Out of the corner of my eye I saw XiD and Raina talking just before they disappeared in a small flash of light. Now where were they going? Just then, though, I noticed Scar crawling towards Aditi, who was shrinking away. My rage boiled again, and this time I acted on it. I grabbed Scar by the back of his neck and stood him up.
"The hell do you think you're doing, Scar? Can't you see she's uncomfortable with you so close? The hell is wrong with you." I looked down at Aditi. She was smiling obviously thankful for my intervention. I looked back at Scar, and in his eyes I saw an all too familiar look.
"I want her, Leo. I don't know what came over me, but I wanted her so bad that I couldn't control myself." I looked down and was disgusted. Scar wasn't even trying to hide his arousal. I threw him to the ground and turned to Aditi. I knelt beside her, smiling.
"Are you alright? He didn't hurt you did he?" She shook her head and smiled again. She uncurled her legs and straitened her back. I stiffened and heard Scar gasp behind me. The fire light accentuated her curves, making them look all the more inviting. I began to reach for her, not realizing it was much the way Scar had, but she didn't shrink away. Instead she held out her hand, inviting me.
Just before we made contact I was bowled over by something heavy. I looked up and found Scar straddling my stomach, hand held back for a punch. The fire made his scar glow an unearthly white. The effect made him look crazed and dangerous.
"I told you Leo, I want her. She will be mine." He brought his fist down fast. I caught it and pushed it aside.
"You dumb ass, I don't want her; now get the fuck off me." I said, trying to put some sense in him.
"Liar!" He brought his other fist down without warning, slamming it into my chest. I was winded for a second, but bucked the raged kid off of me.
"Fine, you want to fight over her, I will." I said, vaguely aware of Terra and Ember still fighting on the other side of the fire. Ignoring it I lunged at Scar, grabbing him around the waist and knocking him to the ground. I punched him in the stomach, stopping his struggling for a moment. He couldn't move, but he could speak.
"You don't understand. I love her, Leo." Tears started to run from his eyes. I looked back at Aditi. She was smiling strangely. I took it as acceptance of Scar's confession. In rage I turned back to Scar and punched him in the nose. I felt blind rage at his words, and her acceptance. What did this mean?
"No! I love her, and I'll kill you for that right." I punched for his face again, intending to crush his skull. He rolled his head to the side, narrowly avoiding my fist. When my punch hit the earth it made a small crater. I lifted my fist to punch again, but was stilled by a loud gasp.
I looked up at Raina and XiD staring at me. I hesitated. They would understand my feelings and support me. I gave Scar a feral snarl when he tried to move.
"I'll kill you for Aditi if it's necessary." My fist began to fall. I would not miss this time.
Terra
I growled and threw Ember over my shoulders. How dare she? No one pulls my hair like that.
"Ember, I'm going to beat you for that!"She asked for it. She growled indignantly at me.
"Leo's mine, if you try to take him from me, I will beat you into submission." She lunged at me. I side stepped and let her body fly by. This is about Leo, I thought.
"I knew you were possessive, but you can't claim people Ember." She jumped again. I grabbed her out of the air and pinned her against the tree. Ember struggled in vain against my grip.
"No!" She yelled, "Your trying to take him from me, you whore. I love him, and he will be mine!" The thought angered me. Ember continued to struggle before shooting fire at me. Yelping in surprise, I pulled back to avoid the flames. Luckily, they flew harmlessly to the ground. I turned back to Ember, who was now clinging to the tree, glaring at me.
"I am not a whore." I kicked at the Ember, but she jumped off and clung to my shirt. The weight threw me off balance and I fell to the floor. Off to the side I could see Scar and Leo struggling against each other, and standing behind them, smiling, was Aditi. I didn't have much longer to think about it before Ember scratched my cheek. The sting caused me to throw Ember to the ground in shock. She growled something about Leo again. I didn't hear the words, but the message was clear. The anger in me spiked again.
When I thought of Leo many thoughts filled my mind I felt other feelings. Passion, lust care, and... love? But over-shadowing them all was anger. Anger at the fact that Ember thought she could claim him. Leo was mine!
I threw Ember against the ground again, and then tried to grab her neck. I would teach her to claim my love. I stopped when heard a very loud gasp. I looked up to find a very surprised Raina. Next to her was the strange ghostly man. Seeing them made me stop... what was I doing? I looked down at Ember and gasped. Why was I choking her? I let her up and she glared at me. Understandable considering.
I looked over and saw Leo poised above Scar, ready to strike. I gasped and started running to him. I couldn't let him do what he was doing. He didn't need more blood on his hands.
Raina
(Note: Just before Raina and XiD teleport)
"So," XiD said, "should I ask the obvious?" I looked at him, seeing the ever present hurt in his eyes.
"Not here. Take us somewhere somewhere private." XiD nodded. I stared as Terra tackled Leo against a tree, then watched as Ember dragged her away. A second later I was sitting on a house-sized boulder in the middle of a lake. Next to me was XiD, smiling again. I listened to him for a moment, then turned to listen to the water gently ripple against the rocks.
"Well, XiD, you may ask the obvious." I didn't think it was possible, but he smiled wider.
"When are you going to tell him you're his mother? And, while we're on the subject, when are you going to tell him we've met before?" I smiled. He frowned.
"How is that the same at all?" He stayed serious, still unable to hide the hurt in his eyes.
"You're confessing, but you're changing the subject now." I sighed.
"When appropriate, and if necessary. Does it really matter that I have known you for nearly three thousand years? I mean, I've you known you this long and I've never been told what's been hurting you so horribly. By the way, even with years of practice it is evident." He smiled.
"Dijo dijo dijo, and I thought all that practice had paid off. Though I'll probably never tell anyone the reason for my distress, thinking on it just brings long buried memories to the surface. It's not something I like to remember." We sat quietly, listening to the gentle ebb and flow of water.
"XiD, would you be Leo's godfather." XiD gasped, probably doubting what he had heard.
"Why? I mean he has you, when you tell him of course." I tried to express the reason subtly, but it is not so easy.
"I've seen an... unfortunate, set of circumstances unfolding in the future. I just want to know that someone will be there for him if I'm gone. He's still a child in many ways." We were left in silence again, left only with the sound of the water and my own steady breathing. I heard XiD exhale slowly.
"Fine. We should probably head back now. We don't want anyone to get suspicious." He laid a hand on my shoulder. Once again I found my surroundings suddenly changed.
The first thing I noticed was the smell. It floated heavily in the air, a mixture of musk and heat. I could almost feel myself getting aroused by its pure potency. Ignoring it, I expanded my awareness. The first thing I saw was Aditi, standing and smiling, which turned to an expression shock when she saw XiD and I. Next I saw Leo, poised over Scar, his fist cocked back. I gasped. Leo turned to me for a moment, then back to Scar. He raised his fist higher. Next I saw Terra, knocking Leo off of Scar probably saving his life. What was going on?
Leo
Something knocked me off of my prey. I continued to roll, ending on top of this creature. What would dare keep me from my kill? I growled at the creature under me, barring my fangs and holding my claws above its head, which was cover by its arms. I growled again and the arms moved. I gasped and recoiled. Terra was under me.
My thoughts returned to me in a snap. Everything I had done came back in one horrible moment. I looked at Scar, who was shaking his head, looking dazed and confused. I looked back down at Terra. Her eyes were terrified. I lowered my head for moment. Slowly, I wrapped my arms around Terra's back, under her arms. I lifted her in an embrace, holding her tight.
"I'm so sorry." I whispered before releasing her to stand on her own. Ember was laying on the ground rubbing her temples. I picked her up and put her in my arms. Walking over to Scar I sighed and helped him up. His nose was off center, very broken. I looked apologetically at him, but he just looked confused. I turned to XiD and Raina who had been standing quietly, observing rather than interfering.
"What happened?" I asked, my voice hoarse. Probably from growling. Scar shook his head.
"All I remember was that I got a hard on from watching Aditi, then... I don't know. It goes blank." Ember had gone to sleep in my arms, and now she was snoring quietly.
"Her." Raina pointed at Aditi, "She is in heat. Normally the scent would only bother pokemon, but her human part makes it affect the others as well." I nodded. It explained a lot of things. The scent that nearly consumed me the other night, her advances, and what happened just now. It could all be explained by her being in heat.
"Dijo dijo dijo," XiD laughed, "It gradually came over you guys here, but it was strong as hell when we came in. The pretty lady there needs something to satisfy her, dijo dijo dijo." I didn't feel like laughing. I turned to Aditi, who was standing there being embarrassed.
"I didn't want to tell you, it is kind of a personal problem." She blushed. I sighed.
"Whatever, can we just go to sleep now?" I gave Ember to Scar and turned to Terra, "I'm sorry." I hugged her again, before stamping out the fire. In the glow of the flickering flames I looked at XiD. "You stayin' the night?" He shrugged.
"I might as well just stick with you guys, has to be more interesting than being a loner." He walked over to Terra's bag and pulled out a pokeball. He captured himself, then released himself. "Mistress, dijo dijo dijo." He bowed to Terra. Nodding, I laid down to sleep. Everyone followed suit. After a moment I heard some scuffling then felt something press against my back.
I looked over my shoulder, expecting to see Aditi. When I found it was Terra I rolled over and hugged her. She wriggled closer. I had no objection. That night I had one of the most restful nights of sleep I have ever had.Chapter End Notes:Second favorite chapter. And it is only my second favorite because writing for Professor Redwood is so much fun. He will be coming back by the way, he is too much fun, I can't just drop him. Thanks for reading, review please
