Chapter 92: Big Ugly Kitty
We headed down the stairs and crept to the bottom. We sneakily looked through the door and appeared inside. There was a massive Catsect inside, and it has two more small ones prowling around it, but they looked different than the ones we had faced before.
These ones had scales on their backs, and it looked like it protected the necks. These things would be a problem with the other ones, so I turned to Kyrina, but she was already undressing, so I turned back. I caught a glimpse of her body as I turned around, but I put it out of my mind; I needed to focus right now.
I heard the sound of plates and gears moving, and then Kyrina's silver for was beside me. I looked forward and took a deep breath, tome to get this over with. We still had a long jog back to the camp.
"Let's go!"
Both of us ran into the room, sticking close as the smaller Catsect started to rush us. At least the cats seemed to use the same tactics, but my sword was reflected back when I tried to cut the head off the first one. I rolled to the side as Kyrina punched into the other one, sending it flying, but it was able to catch and right itself, landing on its feet.
The massive Catsect just sat and watched us fight like a sphinx. I got up and brought my blade down on the attacking beast, but my blow was selected again. I was starting to get frustrated, but then I watched Kyrina drive her fist blades into the soft underside of the Catsect she was fighting.
I dodged again and got my self in a better position by circling around. The cat jumped at me again, but I dropped, letting the beast jump over me. As it passed above me, I slashed my katana into the soft exposed underside, cutting deeply as it passed over.
The Catsect fell in a heap where it landed, and I got back to my feet. I moved over to join Kyrina as the gigantic Catsect yawned and stretched out. It didn't seem concerned that we had just killed the two it had as guards; maybe it didn't see us as threats yet. We would change it's opinion of us fast.
Both of us circled around, but the cat turned on Kyrina, leaving itself open. I dash forward as it started to walk towards her and made a low slash at one of its legs. The blade bit deep, causing blood to spray out.
The beast roared and kicked at me, but I dodged. It turned on me, but Kyrina was ready and rushed it after the turn was finished. She darted in cut into the back leg on the other side.
The beast roared again, now looking back and forth, not sure where to turn. The thing was big, but it thought too highly of itself and now would pay the price. It turned to me, but I was already rush to the beast to end it.
The Catsect boss slashed at me, but I dipped down under the swing and slashed up to dig my blade in deep, but it didn't go down. The monster flipped, trying to bite at me mid flip, but Kyrina brushed past me and drove a blade's fist into the side of the boss, ending it.
Both of us panted and stood up straight; that was close! If she hadn't been there, I would have been finished, but Kyrina was...wait a minute. I looked over at Kyrina again, and then I saw what I had been missing.
Kyrina was no longer a tiger; no, she was not wearing anything. My mind was frozen, but my eyes continued to move over her naked body, but then our eyes connected, and I tired when I saw the readiness in her cheeks. What a pervert I am! She must think the worst of me now, not like I had a good record, to begin with.
I stood with my back turned in my self-loathing and waiting for her to get her suit back on, but then I felt a hand on my arm, and I looked down. Kyrina's hand pulled me around, and I was turned to face her naked body. I could feel my cheeks get hot, and I tried to keep eye contact, but Kyrina smiled and shook her head.
"We are both going to have to get used to me being naked. I'm not going to be able to keep changing while we are in the race."
I knew what she meant, but I didn't want this to be just needing to do this just for the mission. I wanted it to be because we were both comfortable with it. I pulled her into a hug to cover her body and then kissed the top of her head.
"I don't want you to feel like you have to show me just for the sake of us completing this mission. I don't see you just as my partner, your more to me than that."
"I know that, and I feel the same. I want you to look at my body without getting embarrassed because you think that I am. Maybe tonight we could spend a little more time alone. I can't see Dresnal forcing anything else on us today."
I kissed her head again, taking in a breath of her hair, smelling the sweat and dirt, before pulling away. There were a glowing blue circle and a box now on the floor. I took Kyrina's hand and walked over to the box. I opened it up, and there was that damn red cape again; oh boy, here we go again!
I pulled out the robe of many things and wrapped it around Kyrina's shoulders. I went to fetch her suit and then joined Kyrina in front of the magic circle.
"Let's go see if Dresnal has fallen asleep yet, hehe!" I chuckled as we stepped into the circle.
