The Cherry Blossom Warrior

Written by DiamondDog

Commissioned by anonymous

When it comes to the art of Kung Fu, there are many notable masters of the various arts and techniques. From skilled monks such as Master Oogway, to those who have made their own styles of fighting Master Flying Rhino and Master Ox. All across China there were many who were skilled above all else, earning themselves names and titles that made them stand out among the rest.

The most famous examples were the Furious Five and the legendary dragon warrior himself, trained by the just as celebrated Master Shifu. But opposite to their fame and popularity, there were masters that were a bit lesser known. But in the world of martial arts, recognizably was not everything...

An example of this very truth was the warrior from the highest hills. His name is Gin, and after years of training among pink petaled trees, the raccoon earned the title of the 'Cherry Blossom Warrior.' He studied the rare style of the petals, syncing his movements to their light yet unpredictable patterns.

It took some time but the raccoon did learn to be just as light on his feet and to move as easily as a petal could in the breeze. And that translated into a deadly style of martial art, made even more so by the twin retractable blades that he kept on his person.

So far, Gin wasn't exactly well known beyond the village in the hills, but that was just fine with him. That gave him the chance to make a name for himself. And once he earned his title, that's exactly what the raccoon set out to do. After a celebration and many goodbyes, the Cherry Blossom Warrior was off and on his own.

He lived far away from the more populated area of China, making his journey quite the venture. But along the way he performed multiple acts of heroism; from stopping thieves to generally assisting those in need along the way, Gin's name and reputation was steadily building as well as spreading throughout the lands.

Doing so made the raccoon feel good. It was always nice to help those who had a bit of trouble helping themselves, when he left an area he felt it was a bit better than it was before. And of course there was a fair bit of pride in watching petty crooks and low level scum running away after he showed them what for. As his name was spreading there were even a few that already turned tail the moment they figured out who he was.

At this point, Gin's travels have taken a fair distance away from his home in the high hills. He had seen many places and met many different creatures that he was happy to assist along the way.

At the current moment, the robed raccoon was thinking to himself as he traveled across some rather empty plains. There was nothing around him for some distance, leaving alone with nothing but his own thoughts for the time being.

At least that was the case until there was a sudden noise, growing louder and louder. The raccoon looked up and froze as something black and white was barreling towards him. Whatever it was, it was large and it was coming fast.

As a reflex, Gin was quick to dart out of the way just in time to avoid the object crashing into the ground. The force made the ground tremor and a small crater was made into the flat earth. The raccoon coughed against the dirt kicked up in the air.

As the dust eased, the raccoon was surprised to see a large, fat panda curled up into a ball, coughing as well. His body was streaked in dirt but his body uncurled and he was starting to stand. Gin continued to watch and he gasped at the sight of the Dragon Warrior himself rising to his feet, looking up at something in the distance.

Gin looked up as well just in time to see someone else crashing down to the ground. It was a large, gray bull, sporting four horns, a long and wild mane flowing behind them. The bull's body was large overall: from his large head, arms, and thick legs, the bull was sporting a large set of pecs and an even larger, rounder gut that protruded outwards, much like Po's.

"You cannot escape from Kai, Dragon Warrior."

Po looked like he wanted to say something, he wore a look of defiance and determination. But the moment the panda took a step forward, he faltered and fell back into the dirt, wincing in pain.

It was clear for Gin to see that the dragon warrior was losing in the fight against the foe he had never seen before. But he looked strong and stood tall over the pained panda.

That's when the bull's gaze fell on the raccoon. His eyes drilled right into the smaller mammal, making Gin shudder. There was a force that the bovine had about him that felt unnatural but powerful. Nevertheless, Gin held firm against the unseen force, daring to meet his gaze with Kai.

Without saying a single word, the raccoon waved his arm, flinging pink petals that soared at Kai. The bull was quick to block them. The thin, sharp petals dug into his hide but he seemed to be unfazed by it. Gin wasn't too surprised or worried, he figured that the hulking bovine could take the surprise attack. Really, it was just to get an idea of his strength.

But to the warrior's surprise, Kai flashed him a wide smile. Now, the bull attention was on the interloper who clearly had some fight in him. It was clear to both Kai and Gin that the Dragon Warrior wasn't going anywhere. Now, the fight was between them.

The bull was the first to rush forwards and Gin was just as quick to extend his blades. The two fighters clashed, and Gin did the best he could to push against the massive bovine.

"Hmm, not bad," Kai said, looking the raccoon up and down, "But you are no match for my strength."

"That's clear enough to see," Gin said plainly. He would have been using all the strength he had but there was something that bothered the raccoon.

It was Kai's tone and the expression that was on the foe's face. Rather than looking completely hostile, Gin could oddly sense something jovial in Kai's voice as well as on his face.

"But you fight well. And you look just as well doing it."

'Huh?' Gin asked internally. For a moment he thought he was hearing things but the smile on Kai's muzzle was even wider and the look in his eyes was clear to see. All too clear, while they clashed, the foe was flirting with him, clearly having a liking to what was before him.

Gin forced himself not to think too hard about it but his eyes were already drifting downwards. Those large pecs were glistening with sweat that was dripping down and over his belly. And that belly itself was large and heavy, pushing out from his own body in a large expanse. And even lower than that...

Gin gulped and told himself to focus. But it was already too late...

His guard was down and Kai took full advantage, pushing him back with more than enough force to send him tumbling to the ground. The raccoon made a small sound of surprise as he landed flat on his back. The wind was forced out of him as the rest of his body crashed to the rough, flat earth.

While he was catching his breath, Gin could hear Kai laughing. "You fight well. Hmm, makes me wonder what else you do well..."

The bull threw down his weapon and approached the lying raccoon, looming over him before he lowered his body down.

With wide eyes, Gin could only watch as the large foe settled his body on top of his lower half, pinning him down. It was one thing to look at him from just a foot away, but now Gin could feel the weight, softness, and curvature of ass settling comfortably on his pelvis.

Every fiber of Gin's being was telling him to resist the villain and somehow fight back but it was hard to do so when he was pinned down, even more so when he could feel Kai grinding his ass on top of his now twitching semi-hard.

Kai knew full well what was doing. And with his audience captive, the bovine chuckled and drew his hands over his large gut, making it jiggle for the pinned hero to see. The rubbing of his large stomach made the area start to rumble and groan.

The stomach noises forced heat to Gin's face and he could feel his cock growing even harder, now starting to rise and tent against Kai's ass. The bovine could feel it as well but he was having too much fun teasing the lesser known warrior. There was something about him that made fighting seem less appealing. Instead, Kai had other ideas of what he wanted to do to the Cherry Blossom Warrior.

He leaned upon the smaller male, more and more until his large gut threatened to smother the raccoon. His face was engulfed in heat and pudgy fur that was damp with sweat. But the thing that really made Gin excited was the loud gurgling and groans that he could clearly hear.

Kai chuckled again and teased the other warrior even further by humping his belly against Gin's face, grinding the warm, soft, gurgling expanse back and forth. And on every rock back, Kai's wide ass bumped against the raccoon's fully erect cock. He teased both the pinned warrior's upper and lower halves in just one single motion.

Under his sweaty belly, Gin started to groan and hiss from the steadily increasing pressure and the sporadic bursts of pleasure that came from Kai grinding his ass against his tip. Just to tease the weaker warrior even further, Kai put a little bit of chi energy into his rocks back and forth. As his ass bumped and ground against the tip, sending a shockwave through the Cherry Blossom Warrior's body.

"Mmrph!" His face was engulfed by the hot, damp fur of Kai's belly. He had just enough room to breathe and voice his pleasures. He tapped against the bull's gut, a signal that he had enough and had finally given in.

"Oh? Had enough already?"

Kai wore a grin as he only slightly eased up. His gut raised but his weight was redistributed, planted down on Gin's twitching cock. He pressed his ass down on it and gave another grind against it, making the raccoon strain and clench his jaw.

"Hmm, I like you, Blossom Warrior. I think I'll let you and the panda live if you offer me something in his place."

Kai ground his ass hard against the erect length, forcing Gin to scrabble at the thin blades of grass underneath him.

"I'll do anything you want!" Gin said, finally admitting his defeat to the bull.

"Good," Kai said, his voice thick with satisfaction. "Submit to me. The both of you will if you value your lives."

Both Gin and the now standing Po nodded. Neither of them were a match for the bull and they saw this as their only chance at survival. While Gin was mostly thinking of the sake of himself, Po was thinking more so of the safety of all of China. Maybe if they did what he said, the bull would spare the rest of China from his wrath.

Having the attention of both the famed warrior's Kai boldly pulled down his pants just enough to expose his thick, sweaty sheath. His gut lifted a bit before it bounced back down, nearly covering the leathery pouch.

While the raccoon was gawking at the large sight before him, Kai had given him an order and his body began to work on it's own. Through the power of chi, Kai was somehow forcing the Cherry Blossom Warrior to rub his belly.

"Mmm, that's it. Let your inner desires be made reality."

Kai encouraged Gin further and the raccoon acted accordingly by rubbing his paws over even more of the expanse, churning the heavy gut into making even more deep gurgles and groans. They were growing louder, now easily heard without his ear being pressed against the surface.

As Kai's belly was being stroked, pressed, and squished between his paws, the feelings of comfort and pleasure spread through his body. But it all came back down to concentrate to his sheath. The pleasure was building in on itself, becoming stronger and stronger.

Gin could feel himself being pulled into a trance by the simple action of rubbing the foe's gut. His fingers were working all on their own, teasing and tracing along the rough, damp fur. The more he rubbed, the more he roused the sweat layered within the pelt.

It wasn't long before Gin was groaning from the heavy musk that was wafted from Kai's body. The smell of a burly male fresh from a fight was powerful and threatened to weaken the warrior's will even further. The more it all went on, the harder it was for Gin to keep the hold on his own will. Between the strange force of chi and the potent smell coming from the bovine, the raccoon could feel the little bit of resistance, of duty he had as a warrior of China, it was slipping away more and more, as if Kai himself was taking it, absorbing it for himself.

And the more that Gin lost in will, the more he gained in pure sexual thrill. His cock was getting harder and harder, twitching hard against Kai's ass. As much as he wanted to touch it or at the very least grind it against the bull's backside, the raccoon couldn't act on his own will. It was clear now that somehow, some way Kai had him by the balls, and that could become quite literal if the foe continued to have his way...

If that wasn't strange enough for the raccoon, Kai's groans were getting louder and from underneath his large gut came the thick tip of his cock. It continued to lengthen and thicken, more and more. Gin's eyes were wide but he couldn't keep himself from rubbing. All he could do was watch the incredibly large dick fill out until it twitched and came to rest on his lips.

Gin could only groan as he was exposed to the pure scent of the bull's pure, masculine scent. It made his mouth water and his nose wouldn't stop twitching. It took in big whiffs of the potent aroma, quickly making Gin lightheaded and even more loose on his inner will.

Kai looked down at the raccoon that he was teasing. He could feel the warrior's fighting spirit diminish more and more underneath him. What the raccoon didn't know was that spirit was being fed into him, making Kai even stronger, as well as bigger. The change was too slow to notice right away but Kai could feel his body steadily expanding as he fed on the willpower of the small yet powerful warrior.

But he wanted more, much more. That fight with Po had taken a lot out of him, more than he wanted to admit and now he needed as much energy from the two of them as he could get...

Just absorbing their will was too slow of a process. No, the bull knew a much better and pleasurable way to get what he needed...

"Lick it."

That was all that needed to be said. And whether Gin actually heard or understood the words, his mouth was already open and his tongue was working along the wide tip of the Chi Warrior's cock. His thin tongue flicked against the flesh, lapping up the flavors of sweat and the precum that was dripping freely.

The simple flicks of Gin's tongue was already doing more to feed Kai the energy he wanted, as well as taking care of the hard on that had sported from the teasing. It was killing two birds with one stone. Or perhaps draining two warriors with one big bull dick.

"You too, panda."

Po trembled as the words were said. He had more will than Kai, giving him more of a fighting chance but his body was still weak, giving Kai a strong tether regardless. And that invisible tether of energy was pulling the resisting panda closer and closer. The bull smirked and licked his lips, as much as he liked those who were obedient, there was something thrilling about those who still tried to put up a fight.

Try as he might, Po was soon before Kai, on his knees, forced to crawl his way up to the bull's cock. And once he was there, his tongue was dragging across the hard flesh as well. All the while Po tried to struggle but it was if his paws and knees were rooted to the ground.

Kai found the display amusing and he reached down to press down on the heads of those licking along his cock. He could feel the power of the dragon warrior steadily feeding into his own body. Just a small taste of it sent a rush of thrill through his own body.

The bull eased his body up, letting Gin slip from underneath him. Instead, Kai sat back and silently commanded the warriors in his grasp to pick up where they left off. He leaned back as the raccoon and panda were on either side of his cock, using their paws to stroke along his shaft and their tongues to lick along his cocktip.

Waves of uneven pleasure coursed through Kai's dick and it made him groan deeply. The two warriors continued to service the bull, pressing their mouths close enough to practically kiss. Their tongues bumped against each others' as they licked along and slurped against the length. Their paws were working up and down, slicked by the excess drool, stimulating the rest of the bovine's length.

"Yes. Good..."

By Kai's command, the two of them worked faster and harder. The bull could feel himself getting close to his limit already. The touches and licks of the two different males struck him hard with wave after wave of pleasure. And the energy slowly draining from the both only added to the sexual thrill and satisfaction.

Po and Gin gripped the wet, slimy shaft with even more pressure, and were now working in tandem to stroke faster and harder. The sloppy jerks of their paws as aided by their mouths, now pressed against each other, teasing and slurping against the wide, thick tip.

Kai was now breathing heavily and his body was starting to seize up. But he remained leaning back and prepared himself to release his seed. With more heavy breaths, hard pulses of his cock, and thick oozes of precum, the bull was clearly on the tipping point.

And there was Po and Gin, giving an extra hard lick to each side, just what the bull needed to reach his climax. Deep groans left the bovine as thick gushes of his seed erupted into the mouths of the famed warriors. They moaned against the taste and continued licking, flicking their tongues against the spraying cockhead as well as each other's sticky tongues.

Kai watched as they lapped and gulped his seed down all the while, their mouths pressed close, looking almost as if they were fighting over who got to drink down more of his seed. Seeing such a thing gave Kai an idea. He pushed the head of both Po and Gin from his cock and gave them a devious smirk.

A new order was given and the two males were soon in position. Kai sat back and kept his sloppy cock hard as he watched Gin press himself close to Po's body. The raccoon was already acting upon Kai's desires, suckling softly on the moaning panda's right nipple, while flicking his thumb against the right.

The erection in Po's pants was clear to see as the spot was growing damp with the pre that was already flowing free from his cock. He was being teased and nearly overloaded with pleasure just from the soft tongue lapping over the sensitive nub alone.

But that came to a quick end as the raccoon drifted lower along his body, dragging his dull claws through the soft fur, teasing the large, soft belly underneath. Those claws latched onto Po's pants and pulled them down, allowing his thick, leaking cock to spring free. The prominent pair of balls were exposed as well, explaining where all the oozing fluid came from.

Opening his mouth yet again, Gin was quick to fill his mouth with the panda's thick, slimy cock. With all the pre slathering his inches it was easy to take the thickness. His head was quickly bobbing back and forth, making the dragon warrior cry out and grip the blades of grass.

Kai chuckled as he approached the busy pair. It was clear now that they were almost completely under his will. There was just a bit more that had to be done and he was now feeling energized from the steady feeding of power.

The bull kneeled behind Gin, taking a moment to watch the raccoon work up close. But he couldn't resist tracing his own fingers along the raccoon's pants. He attempted to pull them down, but he had more strength than he thought. The pants were torn away from the raccoon's body. But Gin didn't react, he was still too consumed with his commanded blowjob.

Seeing for himself that the siphoning of power was working perfectly, Kai wasted no time going full steam ahead with his plans. He traced a finger along his cum-covered cock, collecting a thick slather of the stuff all over it.

That finger was traced over Gin's hole before it pressed inside, forcing its way in deep. He could hear the raccoon moan louder against the panda's cock. They continued as he slipped his finger in deep before slipping it back. Those motions were repeated as he teased and pressed along the soft, tight insides.

"Yes, you'll do well."

The finger popped from his hole but it was quickly replaced by something else. Gripping both sides of Gin's ass, Kai shoved his mouth underneath his tail and wormed his tongue deep inside the tight, tasty hole.

The length of his tongue easily pushed back those tight walls that tried to resist. The flavors of the raccoon was heavy on his tongue, only leaving him with a want for more. And he indulged in that want, flicking and curling the long, thick muscles against the hot, smooth walls.

While his tailhole was filled by a hot, wiggling tongue, Gin continued to take Po's cock. His head was bobbing up and down the length, pressing the thick tip into the depths of his throat more and more. Po's moans were growing louder and the shudders of his body were clear to see.

Kai was quick to slip his tongue from Gin's hole, but he gave the now stretched rim a quick lick before he gave another order. "Don't swallow it."

For a moment Po was confused as to what the vague words meant but his thoughts were interrupted by the quick rise of his orgasm. The sudden deep throating of his cock was too much for him to take. As he threw his head back and strained, Gin was quick to pull back, wrapping his lips around the flexing tip.

The spurt of the panda's seed splattered against his tongue and the roof of his mouth, hot and thick. He did as he was commanded and refrained from swallowing the stuff down. Instead, he did his best to hold the increasing volume of seed in his mouth. It was lucky that the throbbing and spurting of the Dragon Warrior's cock came just as Gin was reaching his limit.

Kai was quick to snatch up the raccoon, doing so with minimal effort. Following through with the motion, the bull collected all the hot cum from Gin's mouth, taking it into own. With just as much swiftness and strength as before, the bull pushed the raccoon back onto his paws and knees.

Kai was quick to press his mouth against the raccoon's hole, shoving the excess of the panda's hot, slippery fluid into the tight space. His tongue worked to slathered the stuff against the walls, guaranteeing that they were more than properly lubed and ready for what was to come next.

"Get on top of him."

Gin did as he was told and climbed on top of Po.

"Now start fucking him."

Po nodded and held Gin tight as he shoved his cock into the perfectly lubed hole. With just a bit of pushing, the thick cock managed to pop in past the rim. Doing as he was commanded, the Dragon Warrior wasted no time pumping his dick within the soft, tight, and sloppy space.

Their moans were echoing off into the distance as they were both adjusting and very much getting into it. Seeing such made Kai smirk, they were nearly there and he would be the one to push them over the edge.

He added himself to the equation in the form of kneeling behind the both of them. He aimed his wet cock and pressed it against Gin's already filled hole. The raccoon wailed as the bull simply snorted and shoved his cock within. Now, the raccoon was filled beyond what he thought was his limit.

Through his trance, Po was able to feel a level of shock as well. Against his own thrusting cock was an even larger, thicker, and harder cock that was pushing in deeper than his own could. With every shove and drag of Kai's length, Gin was stretched deep and Po's cock was pressed and ground against.

Despite them both plugging the raccoon's ass, it was clear that Kai was the one in control. Every hard pump of his lower half made them both moan out from different forms of pleasure. Po did the best he could to keep up but with every thrust he could feel himself growing weaker and weaker. But the pleasure remained, growing all the stronger as his cock was sandwiched between soft walls and a thick cock that rocked against his underside.

Gin was nearly drained off all his strength, leaving him holding on to Po for support. His hole was fully stretched, not even putting up a resistance against the cock massaging his walls as well as the even larger one that was barreling fast and hard, thumping against the very end of his ass. All he could do was moan and endure the intense pleasure of his orgasm. It struck him out of nowhere but he could hardly react to it, all he could do was endure Kai and Po's filling of his tailhole.

With the raccoon's orgasm came the hard clenches of his ass. The muscles had enough strength left in them to squeeze down and press the different cocks even closer together. And that was just what it took for the other males to be brought over the edges. Po came forth, letting out a weak groan as his cock spurt a thick ooze of cum. The last gushes of seed that his balls contained emptied out in the other warrior.

And there was Kai, giving a few more hard humps before he reached his climax. A low bellow left him as his cock pulsed, a powerful and potent load blew from the bull's cock. It was thick and hot, filling up the tight space. Under him, both Kai and Po were groaning from the heat and thickness of the bull's now enhanced load. More and more spurts came, coming out of Kai's ass in thick ribbons. Both Gin and Po did their best to endure the heavy doses of seed, but it was easier said than done...

When the bull finished, but the raccoon and panda were more than spent. Their bodies felt limp and they couldn't move on their own. All they could do was pant and groan as Kai pulled his cock free.

The now fully powered Chi Warrior looked down at the other two. They were completely drained of their wills, he had taken it all and he felt better than he ever before. But now there was a new issue that presented itself, and that was the sudden rumbling of his stomach, along with the hunger that now set in.

But he looked down at the panting males and the answer to that problem was clear enough to him. Chuckling, the bull sat back down on the grass before he sent a silent command for Po to rise. The panda did not even question why he now had the sudden will to move.

He walked towards the bull until his body went limp again. He fell against Kai and the bull caught him, running his fingers along the large, hefty gut the panda sported. Looking down at the dragon warrior, Kai licked his lips.

With his now bigger body, it wasn't hard for him to slip the panda into his maw. As his feet and legs were engulfed in the hot, wet flesh of Kai's throat, Po oddly felt no fear. Instead he was calm and even a little thrilled as more and more of his body sunk within the bull's maw.

His body was steadily consumed, strong gulps pulled him further and further within until only his head remained in sight. Kai pressed Po's head in with a finger slipping the panda fully past his leathery lips.

With half his body already down Kai's throat, Po groaned as the bull's large tongue was dragging through his fur, getting a taste for him. It swept over his face and neck, slathering them in a thick layer of saliva. A small moan left the panda as the tongue ventured lower, flicking over his chest and nipples. He squirmed from the touch and that made him slip further down the bull's gullet.

A deep sound and a series of rumbles came. Whether Kai was chuckling or purring in pleasure, Po wasn't really sure, it was too consumed with the strange sensual pleasure of his body being gulped down and hugged tight by Kai's throat.

As he slipped lower down his body was nearly constricted, forcing his arms close to his chest. Another form of pleasure came as his cock slowly rubbed against the moving walls. He was still very sensitive and another gulp and drop of his body further down was enough to force another climax out of the already milked dry panda.

And with a final hard gulp and pull down of his body, Po was dropped into the soft, enclosed space of Kai's gut. There was more room but the walls around him continued to move and the rumbles and gurgles were clear to be heard, even more so that he was now something for the stomach to concentrate on.

More deep noises and loud gulps were heard and it wasn't long before Gin fell into the soft pit as well. His thin body was much easier for the bull to swallow. Like Po, his cock was teased by the hot walls, but his descent was too fast for him to get off.

He was left lying against the stomach's walls, his cock twitching with need. Seeing this, Po was suddenly overcome with a powerful need. He reached at the weaker male and managed to pull him close.

Gripping Gin by the footpaws, Po repeated Kai's actions; he slipped them into his own maw and started to swallow down on them, steadily slipping the murring raccoon further within his mouth. Another moan came from Gin as his cock slipped into Po's mouth. The panda made another gulp, pulling the raccoon's pelvis into his mouth.

But he tugged on Gin's body, slipping him from his throat. For a moment the raccoon was confused but Po pushed him back in, exposing his cock to those hot, tugging muscles yet again. With the panda holding onto him, Gin's body was pushed and pulled within Po's throat, brushing his cock against the hot walls of his throat.

Gin hissed and threw his head back as he reached his peak, spurting the last of his load down the panda's throat. To his surprise, the panda was quick to make a series of gulps, quickly slurping the raccoon up as if he was nothing more than a noodle...

On the outside of it all was Kai, he was leaning against a sturdy tree as he was rubbing his belly. He could feel plenty of movement within and it made him wonder just what the two of them were getting up to. But it didn't matter, they would soon be nothing but him soon.

While they were fooling around, Kai continued to absorb their power, taking everything else that he hadn't before. The bull snorted and groaned as his body was suddenly expanding. His arms, legs, chest, and even belly were all swelling with muscle and mass.

Such growth felt pleasurable to the bull as if his body was being massaged by thousands of silky hands. They were all over him, expanding his arms, thickening his legs. His chest was broadening and his pecs were filling out as well, becoming just as large and heavy as the rest of his body.

But the true pleasure came when the expansion focused on the bull's genitals. The feeling of those hands were all over his steadily expanding cock and balls. The orbs were growing larger and heavier with even more seed than he had before. His already large cock was growing in both length and thickness, becoming prominent enough to poke past his now massive expanse of stomach.

The bull clenched his jaw and humped at the air as the sensations of growth milked yet another climax out of him. Strong, thick spurts jetted from his heavily pulsing cock, painting the flat grass ahead of him. So much came out of him in such a short time but even as the feeling ebbed, Kai could feel that his balls were still heavy with cum that needed to be released. And there were many warriors within China that could 'help' him with such an issue.
