Walking Disasters and Me-New Ideas – Ch 15

Akiko's soft tail finally lets go of my waist after she welcomes me into her estate, which does leave me slightly longing for it again. It's just so damn fluffy and cuddly! I try my best to keep the look of disappointment off my face as she leads me past the Torii's arch and up the perfectly placed stone walkway leading up to the large, wide square building that takes up a good chunk of the grounds.
Its exterior is marked by a large, laid stone foundation that encompasses the entirety of the building, and then resting atop that is the traditional deep brown wood laden construction that seems to make up the rest of the Village's aesthetic. The roof is one solid piece that covers the whole building, sitting on top of the structure in the classic, high slanted triangular style ending with flared tips on all four corners. The green clay fired tiles slat perfectly into each other, making the entire thing almost seem like a sole unit of architecture. Seriously, they went ham on recreating ancient Japan. Mad respect.
As we approach the front entry way, I briefly hear a clatter of something that sounds like rapid footsteps before I am suddenly looking at three women bowing deeply in front of Akiko and me. Jumping a bit from the suddenness of these mystery women's arrival, I notice they're all wearing the same style of robe as me, but slightly more flashy, ornate versions. In unison, all three sing out, "Welcome back, Madam Akiko!"
I take a step back and timidly pull myself closer to Akiko's arm with a small pout.  I just want Akiko to show me to a guest room or something and sleep for years! All these constant distractions keep me further away from my dream land paradise! My overly tired, mentally exhausted brain is not handling new situations well right now!
"Hello my dear disciples~! I apologize for making you all wait for my return from duties, but the situation was quite fluid and required my personal touch on many things after all." She giggles slightly as the women stand back up, like exploding half the governing powers of the Village was a quick trip to the corner store. Hmm... Actually, it kind of was though, wasn't it? In and out, quick 5-minute massacre and then domination. Gotta respect results. Akiko continues on, unaware of my glowing praise for her top tier murder powers.
"Amelia, these are my other disciples that I have taken in. In order, this is Samantha, Jun Li, and Gerra. All of you, meet my newest personal disciple, Amelia Dufort. She will be staying with us for the foreseeable future, and I expect you to treat her with respect and kindness regardless of her current status as a mortal. She holds great promise, and I will be personally overseeing her journey in cultivation." Akiko finishes by giving the women a moment to process what she just dropped on them. While she was talking, I took to looking over the three of them so I can match names to faces.
Samantha looks to be a human woman, at least appearing around my age if not maybe a couple years older. Her curly, golden blonde hair falls to her shoulders gently while framing her charming green eyes and cute button nose. Her lips are on the thinner side and naturally rest in a slight pout it seems. Or she has already found something about me she doesn't like, since those green eyes locked on to me after she saw me standing next to Akiko. What the hell? I
just
got here! Ugh... I continue my observation anyway.
Her body is quite attractive all in all, with a more than modest chest and curved waist leading to well-spaced hips. Her arms are muscular with strong looking hands, but not overly so. Just enough that she would make me feel inadequate if she flexed. Her rear and thighs are knock outs, though. She must do squats like all day! Or whatever she is doing to cultivate is doing her amazing favors! Her legs are quite long too for her height, which I would guess to be around 5 foot 6 inches or so. Although I am kind of arbitrarily deciding that, I don't think I've taken a measure of my own height yet but the number feels right regardless.
Jun Li is another fox woman, with jet black hair down to her shoulders also with black fur for her ears and her three tails. Surprisingly, she doesn't have a different color for the tips of her fur like I've seen every other fox human have. Although my sample size is pretty limited so far, she still is the first foxy that I've come across like that. Her face holds a shy, soft allure to it which is beyond adorable. Her ruby red eyes glitter like the stone itself, both set nicely spaced above a small snub nose. Her lips are full and a dull red color, and they also seem to be slightly turned down like Samantha's. She isn't looking at me though, so at least I'm not the reason for it this time~! I hope...
Jun Li's figure is
stacked.
If Samantha height is correct, then this gal must be nearing 6 foot tall and every inch of her is gorgeous. Her arms seem much daintier than any of us here, leading to nimble looking hands and fingers. Her breasts easily rival mine and Akiko's, and quite possibly they are actually bigger than ours judging by this first glance! Her stomach is healthy, with nice gentle curves and her sides appear to have some flesh to sink your hands into. The bomb shell look continues to her ass, hips and legs, again making me start to get a bit jealous. Sure, I've only had this body for a short while, but it sucks to see it instantly get overtaken in hotness!
Slight rambling aside I turn my attention to the last lady in waiting, Gerra, and my mood instantly picks up. She's a
fucking cat woman
, praise the gods above! There is justice in the universe!! Akiko is always going to be my number one, drop dead mommy fox, but just knowing that there are sexy cat women in this world is doing more to give me hope right now than anything! And holy shit, is she sexy.
Gerra's about my height, with wavy, mid back length long pink hair and cat ears on top of her head, which is beyond adorable. She is also the perfect mix of muscular and plush, looking like she's strong enough to hold you down or be comfy enough to be your pillow. Her face is also fitted with large, pink colored eyes with feline slits, and her nose is cute and small and perfectly boop-able. Her ruby red lips are pinching her cheeks as they turn up into a smile, showing slightly exaugurated canines once she sees me. Her more than a handful chest easily straining the robe like Jun Li's was, but obviously not as pronounced as that walking sex idol.
Gerra's middle is just as well curved as the rest of the group, but I can tell that she probably has the most toned one out of us all going by her arms. They are still beautifully slim, but the obvious muscle lines are visible even when she isn't flexing. Or at least, I assume she isn't. Maybe she caught me staring and is showing off?
Before I ponder that for too long, I cast my eyes down to her tail which nearly makes me give out a little squee of joy. Like the rest of her, its a vibrant pink color and its fluffiness looks like it wouldn't lose out to Akiko's. The tail is attached just above her shapely butt, with decently long, thick thighs coming down to a muscled calf and feet. Speaking of, her hands and feet are humanoid, thankfully, but I notice her flex one of her hands as my eyes are visibly coming back up after my inspection, and her nails do indeed grow out on command! Nifty!
I realize I've been silently checking them out for a bit
too
long, and the patented Amelia Aims Blush (trademarked) returns in all its glory. I clasp my hands in front of me and bow down deeply to the assembled hotties before barking out with my lower, husky voice rushed, "Hello! I-Its nice to meet you all! I'm Amelia, like Akiko said! I uh... hope you like me?"
I truly love my brain sometimes; it just comes up with the most normal ways to speak. I even added a stutter for pizzaz, really knock 'em off their feet. I hear a high-pitched voice follow on after my performance, its chirpy and staccato nature reminds me of Ios a bit.
"Mistress, if you were going out to secure another member for our group you could have just said so! But I must admit, she is rather adorable. I was starting to get jealous before her cute little display just then~" I look back up as the voice finishes her grilling assessment of me, and notice it came from Samantha. When she sees my still blushing face turn to her, she gives me a small wink, turning her lips from her pouting face to a small smirk instead. It annoys me how effective it is in deepening the blush, damn it!
The other two seem to pick up on all of this instantly, Gerra seems to gain a predatory gleam to her eyes while Jun Li looks like she found a kindred spirit. I shuffle another step slightly behind Akiko purely on instinct, before I feel her hand give mine a squeeze and I look up at her. Her face is gazing down at me kindly, before she pulls me slightly against her body and looks back to her... harem? I mean, Xu did say she had one, I just didn't think I'd be meeting them this soon. And before I've had
fucking
sleep.
"Alright girls, that's enough. Amelia is not participating in our little group like that. She is... new to cultivating and the area, but her potential is enormous. I will primarily be showing her the first steps to begin her journey, but eventually all of us will take part in her training. Again, treat her kindly or you will answer to me, understood darlings?" Akiko announces to them. She still has her playful tone from earlier, but by the way all three of them stiffen up at the implied sound of punishment its obvious Akiko doesn't need to use any act with them.
While they all briefly get ram rod straight postures, Akiko carries on with happiness in her tone, "Good girls~! I knew I could count on you all! I am going to show Amelia to one of the rooms and show her how to use the facilities and such. You three wait for me in the garden, make some tea or coffee if you want, and we will discuss what happened on my adventure. There will be many things happening at once soon due to my response to some of the Elder's actions, and I hope that you three are going to play crucial roles in helping me sort it all out. I cannot trust anyone else with the tasks I wish to give you, but if you wish to decline, I wont force the matter." Akiko finishes by looking back to me.
"Alright Amelia, let us get you settled in so you can rest. I assure you, the amenities in my estate are without equal anywhere on this continent. The Sect Leader saw to that!" With a small giggle ending her statement, Akiko walks past the three girls while stopping briefly to give them all pats on the heads with her tails which sends them on their way, and then ushers me inside. After walking a good distance, she speaks up again.
"I apologize dear, I did not think they would come rushing out like that! They are such darlings, but I fear their devotion can be a little
too
extreme at times. I am happy that they all readily seemed to take a liking to you though! I was worried I would have to speak words to Samantha as she can be a bit... abrasive... until you get to know her better. Be sure to tell me if any of them cause you concern after I let you loose from your individual training with me. Hopefully by then it will be a non-issue, but I never want you to think you can't come to me for support if something is wrong. Heavens, even if its not related to the girls, you can always confide in me, okay?" Akiko stops our walk to punctuate that last part, one of her hands coming up to rest on my shoulder. It's very sweet! This is the first time I've heard her kind of... ramble on. The meeting between her harem members and me must have been weighing on her.
"I'll admit, I was more than a bit surprised!" I laugh out in reply, "I know that fuck face of an Elder was making fun of you for having a harem, but I wasn't expecting to meet them so soon, or like that! And yeah, I get what you're saying about Samantha, as soon as she noticed me, she looked at me like I had kicked her puppy or something. I'm just glad my usual, socially awkward tendencies made her relax a bit. I'm usually not lucky enough for that to work out that way."
"Indeed, you are very charming and cute, sweet Amelia~" Akiko's teasing voice fills the hall in response. The blush does its thing again, and I whip my hand out to take hers and start walking fake angrily down the hall further. Although, since I don't know where I'm going I only make it a few steps before I sigh dramatically, and then turn to her with fake annoyance and start pulling on her arm to make her take the lead again.
Akiko's instant laughter at my display echoes through the corridor, its soft gentle ripple soothing my ears and finally making me break my act and start laughing with her. "You are simply too much Amelia, I don't think I've laughed as many times, as deeply, in several years!" She gives a final soft sigh before continuing with a wink, "Come, its this room right here. You nearly made it on your own~"
Akiko points at a sliding fabric door to my right, and then opens it for me. Inside is a very nicely decorated room, definitely bigger than my entire apartment back on Earth. It has small crystals in various spots that give off soft, white light which lets me see the perfectly slatted wooden floorboards in spots that are not hidden by extremely comfy looking rugs or mats. There is a small wooden desk sat against the far left side of the wall with some blank papers and older style, to me at least, writing implements. On the opposite side sits a lovely two-seater couch behind a large ottoman style footrest. In between the desk and the seating area is a decent sized wooden round table, with 4 well crafted, cushioned wooden chairs sat directly across from themselves.
I almost jump for joy as I view the next piece of furniture, an
actual bed!
Nothing against futons or alternative sleeping arrangements, but I'm a bed girl through and through. It looks beyond plush and comfortable, with several soft seeming pillows and cozy looking blankets neatly tucked underneath the mattress. It's probably a queen-sized bed and framed by large, dark wooden head and foot boards. I nearly dive into it, the sweet release of sleep calling to me more than a siren luring in a sailor at sea, before Akiko's hand gentle guides me to a door in the room. I whine a little bit, which only makes this pretty foxy troll giggle into her other hand, before opening said door.
Inside is... a mostly modern bathroom? At least it looks that way. I look back up to Akiko with an accusing stare, "Okay so you guys definitely met a transmigrator before then. All of this stuff in here is
for sure
from my world. Even the bathtub shower setup is the same! I think it almost perfectly matches the one I had back on Earth! And all your architecture is from a period in time that I read about back there too!"
Akiko simply shrugs before responding with a pat on my head by her hand, "More than likely, and the Sect Leader thought so as well at the time. I wasn't dishonest back in the cave Amelia, transmigrators are very uncommon, but they are not unheard of, and they almost always bring change. Before that man came to the village and showed us his way of building things, we had a style that most of the continent has, which is much squarer and brutalist buildings. And although as cultivators advance through the ranks the need for morning ablutions decreases until you no longer need to, one cant deny that the shower invention he made is quite nice to use!"
Huh... well I guess that's true, wasn't like she lied about anything. Hang on... "Does that mean your periods as well? If I get strong enough, I won't get periods anymore?!" I look up to her from the bathrooms doorway, hope and desperation in my eyes and voice. My periods
suck,
they can put me down for 5 days or so with no real relief. If I can never have another one again, I will cultivate till I cant stand anymore!
"Indeed. Samantha stopped having her cycle when she reached the Formation Rank, which is the 2nd Realm. And until then, her symptoms grew steadily less impactful to her. As a fox human, I never had to deal with that issue, of which I am beyond thankful. It sounds dreadful, truly, and I do not envy you humans for having to go through it. Even if its one of the bigger driving forces of human females becoming cultivators, aside from just gaining power and security." Akiko says helpfully.
Yes!! My uterus and hormones will stop bitching about a failure to reproduce every fucking month!! Cultivation, here I come! This time I do jump for joy a little bit, bouncing up and down with a huge smile on my face and both of Akiko's hands in mine.
"Oh my God Akiko, that's honestly as equally motivating for me to start cultivating as healing Sandra! My periods will be over!! No more crying in my bed for the first three days, barely able to move from the cramps and the pain! This place rules!" I bounce a couple more times before finally calming down after my rant, now feeling even more tired than before. I must really be on empty mentally.
Akiko's charming smile greets me again as she says, "That is good to hear, and I agree. There is no sense in seeing you in pain when all you must do is put in some work and overcome it! Now here, I'll infuse this crystal," She says as she pulls out a diamond shaped crystal from her ring, "with some of my Qi. See how its filled with light now? Good, I will set it here in this spot next to the wall and then all of the arrays will become active in this room. They take the function of plumbing, purifying the water, heating it, all of that. Since you are familiar with these kinds of spaces, take a quick look and make sure you don't need me to explain anything."
I follow her instructions as quickly as I can, and notice that I only need her to explain how to adjust the temperature for the shower. Once we figure it out, she leads me back to the room and we both plop sitting onto my bed. She looks like she wants to speak up again, but I've been thinking about something since I saw the other girls.
"Akiko, how does your harem work? Like, are they all just in a relationship with you? Are all of you dating each other? Is it normal to be in those kinds of relationships here? To be honest, I didn't even know that was an option before that Xu bastard ran his mouth off. And I guess it hadn't really sunk in until I met Samantha and the others. I'm definitely not looking to join before I talk with Sandra, but... I don't know... I've just been thinking about the three of us and... Maybe if Sandra and I do decide to... you know if we..."
I cannot believe how badly I am fumbling this! Amelia! Just use your damn words!! I sigh, my face redder than its ever been, before I rub my eyes and regather my courage, "If multiple partners are common here, then maybe that means Sandra and I and you could also be something. Or that maybe Sandra and I could join your group, if we all get along. If Sandra is okay with it, which is the most important part to me." I finally finish what I meant to ask, and I bury my face in my hands trying to hide from the sheer embarrassment of it all. Also, this is the first time that I realize that I'm seriously entertaining the thought of Sandra and I being together.
Have I always been okay with that idea and just never knew it, like Ios said back in the clearing? Why does the thought of us being together here not bother me in the slightest? I fall sideways down on the bed, which is as amazingly comfortable as I thought it would be, with my thoughts and emotions in a whirl wind before I hear Akiko call back to me in her typical teasing tone.
"Ara~ It always astounds me how bold and forward you can be, young Amelia!~ My, if we didn't have our agreement regarding you and Sandra, I would have already offered you a spot in my harem~!" Hmm... I don't think that last part was her just being a tease... Before I can reflect on that much more, she continues, "To answer your questions, which are always delightful by the way, my harem works like you described at the end. In essence, the girls and I are all in a relationship with each other. There is another member, but she is... far away right now."
I look back up to Akiko from my resting position to see her have a sad, melancholic look to her face before she notices me and puts her smile back on, "The girls quite often go on excursions together, either in various pairings or all three at the same time and share in nightly delights as well. If we want to spend one on one time with someone, we simply inform the others beforehand so they know not to disturb each other, but honestly it is a pretty lax affair. I don't think I've ever been turned down from joining in or refused one of the girls from joining mid coitus. But I do understand that sometimes people just need some private time together."
"Whoa... That sounds so... free and amazing. No one gets jealous? You guys don't fight or get upset that maybe one or two of your members are spending time alone?" I ask with a bit of awe in my voice, now turning sideways to fully look at Akiko.
"Of course, there are times when that happens, but we have always communicated our intentions and feelings well to each other which is key. We are all still base creatures at the end of the day, and no amount of logic, reasoning, or rationalization can take away the impact that feelings and emotions have on us. Well, until you get to the Immortal ranks of cultivation anyway, then you're able to regulate and control much about yourself. Regardless, it is honestly kind of fun when those events do happen. The sex afterwards is always so...
passionate and needy.
"
She finishes in a low growl of hunger; her eyes seem to glaze over slightly at some carnal memory being unlocked. I won't deny, the way she said it also did some things for me, so I understand her predicament. She shakes her head softly before looking back down to me.
"Also, when cultivators get to a certain level of power it can be difficult to sustain your baser nature with just one person. Some manage the feat, usually deeply connected soulmates or some other such arrangement, but most of the time they open their relationships up to more members. I have nearly always had a harem, simply due to my Kitsune nature. Having just one partner is dangerous, as I can take too much from them and leave them too weakened by the time I've had my fill.
But I hope that answered your questions dear. If you and Sandra decide to become one, which I will always support with all of my being by the way, and then become amenable to joining us then we will discuss it at that time. You just focus on resting and then healing your sister. The sooner she becomes able to converse with you or her spirit, the sooner you can get those answers yourself. Now, get some rest dear Amelia. Sleep as long as you like, when you awake tap that crystal in the washroom twice, and I will come back to check on you." She leans down a bit and strokes my hair softly before giving me a soft kiss on the top of my head, "Goodnight, dear. Rest well."
And with that, she stands up and saunters out of the room, her hips in their usual seductive motion with her tails floating behind her. As she leaves, I release a breath and rub my face with my hands. I'm so ready to be unconscious right now, I cant process anymore heavy emotions or stimulating situations! I stand up quickly, my own breasts jiggling at the sudden motion which throws me off for a second, before I strip down completely naked and hop back into the bed. As soon as my head hits the pillows again, and I feel the calm certainty of sleep approaching, I see a message pop into view.
[Budding Nudist] Activates!
Oh right, that's still a thing.
