(Alright all, this one took some time. Anyways, I hope you like it. I wanted to try somthing different, and came up with this strange style of writing. It was either this, or try to write three different stories for each character. I chose this way. It took long enough as is. Anyways, I know its a little hard to follow. Believe me, it took forever to write for that reason. I do hope you like the story though. If you like this style, or see some potential in it, then please leave me a response and tell me so. If you don't, then tell me, in a kind or remotely kind manner, and I won't use it anymore. Again, this was an experiment in some other ways of writing things. * * *

Kino


A gentle breeze rolls through the camp, rustling the various trees, branches and bushes around the camp. Three large wooden towers built around it keeping watch for the other tribes. The three cats stand ready with weapons in hand. Lights circle the forest around them. The full moon shines brightly on their dark fur. I walk out of the tent looking up at the towers, seeing no sign of danger. My foot pads making soft pats on the ground below as I walk to a small clearing around a fire. 8 other cats sit around it, talking amongst themselves. "Men listen up." I call out. I stand at my full 6'2" height. My night-dark fur reflects little of the fires light. They're ears twitch and their backs straighten. The group of yellow eyes fixed on me. "I want all men to be at their posts. I don't want any surprise attacks from those mother fuckers tonight. We will not loose any more men to this war. The forest falls silent as I stop talking and they zoom off, running to the tents of other families and warriors telling them their orders. A few minutes pass and the camp is surrounded. Each fur covered in a black armor, light in weight but having incredible resilience. Swords, spears and javelins show in their ranks. I smile a bit and walk back into my tent. I sigh softly wondering if tonight will be a night of death or a night of peace. "The panther tribe will not lose to those bastards of night, or those winged idiots. I won't allow it." * * *

Sia


I sit on a large branch, my small body making no noise at all as the tree sways in the wind. I wore light robes so that my body wouldn't be weighed down during a fight. The sleeves of my robe where long enough to cover my small paws and the two arm blades attached to each of my arms. I keep looking down at the panther's camp wondering if I should attack now or wait. I may not have been the strongest in my tribe but I was the fastest. I jump from the tree unfolding my wings and land softly on the ground making no sound at all. My tribe-mates may not have my magical skill, but I wanted to do this one up close. I then slowly start to walk towards a large tent in the middle of their camp. I manage to get in and sneak up behind Kino, the arm blades slowly sliding down ready to kill. * * *

Ace


I stand in the shadows at the edge of the panther's camp. My black fur, covered only by black pants and sash, are almost impossible to see in the night and shade of the tree I am standing under. My blade is sheathed in its black scabbard thrust in my sash. I am the best fighter in my tribe, and am trained to fight alone. My tribe's mastery over fire and lightning makes us formidable opponents. We may not be the fastest of the tribes, but we can hold our own in any fight. Our passion for fighting is only surpassed by our passion to protect our blood-bonded mates. I stand, watching the panther camp, waiting for them to move, so I can attack and leave before they realize what's happening. * * *

Kino


My ears perk as I sense something behind me. I slowly get up and turn towards around. "If you are going to try and kill me, at least do it a little more quietly." I grin and cock my head to the side, bearing my teeth towards Sia. Two long braces cover my wrists and arm up to my elbows, made out of an incredibly hard metal, covered in a black paint. I wear no clothes nor armor, not liking the feel of cloth or metal against my fur. I crack my knuckles and my neck, lowering myself into a fighting stance ready for your next move. "You will die for what you and your pathetic tribe have done to my people in the past." I growl fiercely. * * *

Sia


I grin and jump, swing my arms behind me and sweep them towards the dragon intruder. My wind attack cuts across his chest, leaving small marks across his furred hide. "You may want to be faster if you want to hit me." I stand behind him, my back to him and my eyes closed. They where of no use to me any way. My tribe, unlike the other's, where not born with the power to control the elements. My tribe had to make a pact with the forces of nature, and I gave up my eye sight in order to gain control over wind and darkness. * * *

Ace


I watch as a fox and a panther begin to fight at the other end of the camp. I could see some of the other cats running to help their ally. I decided now was the perfect time. I summoned some fire to my hand, and it began to glow. I threw it high up in the air. It landed with a thud on a nearby tent and burst into flames. I then move to another shadowed position, this time closer to the battle, and continue watching with mild interest, keeping always on the alert, in case I should be spotted. * * *

Kino


I feel the slices in my chest and growl in pain. A few trails of blood mix with my black fur but I remain unfazed. "Your not seriously thinking you will win this fight are you?" I say softly, my tail flicking back and forth. My paws clenched into fists as I become angrier. "Men stay where you are!! Don't leave this place unguarded. And put out that god-damn fire!" The cats turn towards the tent showering it in a mist of water putting out the fire, the furs inside still safe. 'Damn...it looks like those fucking wolves are close by too. God why do I have to deal with both of the same night' I think to myself as I raise my leg off the floor and soon slam it back down. The earth below our feet begins to shake as you are held by the feet. A ring of rock around your ankles forms as I throw my arm out and spin around. The brace collides with the side of the dragons head and knocks him a couple yards away, the rings of rock around your feet breaking from the force. I raise my right paw up as the earth begins to shake once more. Chunks of the earth rising in the air as the large boulders hurl towards you. * * *

Sia


I grin and slid right through a tree that I was about to hit, as if it wasn't there. "Have to do better than that, kitten." I grin more as blades made of shadows slice the boulders neatly in half. I walk out from behind the tree my eyes now open, showing pure white in the darkness. "This war is pointless but you must die." I close my eyes again and run at Kino but vanish inches away from him and slice his back open grinning more. "Come on the panthers are supposed to be the strongest of the tribes around here so come get me." I say with amusement in my voice * * *

Ace


. I growled deep in my throat and almost abandoned my hiding spot to rip the dragon to shreds. Strongest? That title belonged to the wolf tribe. But I realized I couldn't fight them here. I was trained, but not stupid. Even I couldn't hold off a skilled dragon and the Panther tribe all at once. Well, maybe if........But no. That was reserved for my blood mate's protection alone. I continued watching for a time before igniting my paw once again and hurling another fireball at a different tent. I shifted positions before the ball even struck. * * *

Kino


The other panthers looking towards the air watching the ball of fire come forth. Their paws aim high as a stream of water collides with it, the ball of flame turning into a cloud of steam. "You cocky son of a bitch!" I yell at the dragon. I turn my paw towards him and his body is covered in a thick sheet of ice. I charge forth delivering a blow to your muzzle with my fist, through the ice. My knee comes up and impacts your stomach a split second later. I bare my teeth watching the ice shatter and the dragon's body fly into the air. I take aim with one paw and the ground opens up and surrounds him. It brings him back down and covers him in a shell of hard rock. It slowly starts to shrink with him inside of it. "Damn little bastard!" I yell out, my body pumping adrenaline and shaking visibly. * * *

Sia


I laugh loudly from behind you. "Shadow clone. It helps when fighting don't you think?" I put my paw on Kino's back. "Bye, bye" I fire a massive blast of wind sending him flying." I know your there wolf so come out and play." I shout, not bothering to turn around. I knew exactly where he was. * * *

Ace


I stay in the shadows. "Why should I come to you? What's wrong, Can't find me yourself?" I wait, prepared to defend or attack, should the need arise. * * *

Kino


I grunt and flip through the air, digging my claws into the ground stopping myself a few feet away. "Don't count me out so quickly." I get to my feet. I put my arms out to my sides and clap my paws together, sending a wave of ice towards the dragon, stunning him. I run forward and grab his throat, slamming him into the ground hard enough to make a small crater. My other paw opens at my hip, and I reach up to wrap it around his head. An orb of water forms around it. "I wonder if you have gills!" I scream down at him. * * *

Sia


I smile and stand still. I mouth the words "Bye, bye" as I start to seep right through the ground and out of the panthers hold. "I'll be back later." My voice is heard all around as I head back to my tribe panting thinking to myself. 'Damn that took a lot out of me.' * * *

Ace


I hear the dragon, and decide to leave before I have the entire panther tribe on me. I charge up both paws with fire and throw them down at the edge of the camp. Walls of flame shoot up into the air and I begin running. Like I said, we aren't the fastest of the tribes, but we aren't slow, by any means. I got into a forest clearing and sat in the shadows. Watching, waiting for the enemy that I knew was coming after me. * * *

Kino


"Damn it.......damn it.....DAMN IT!!!!" I yell getting to my feet and swiping my paw through the air. The fire is consumed with a wave of water and turns to steam. I take a deep breath and try to relax. Suddenly, I jump up into the air and slam my fist into the ground creating a 10 foot crater. I start for my tent. "Everyone remain at your post!" I soon vanish behind the flap of the tent and lie down on the cot, my paws covering my face and rubbing my eyes in exhaustion. "I need to do something before this all gets out of control." I sigh to myself out loud. * * *

Sia


I stop running and hide as I sense three wolves running away from my tribes' camp. I growl and swiftly attack them, my arm blades extending and slicing through their throats, the sharp blades slicing though their flesh easily. They fall to the ground dead. I then run to see my camp nothing but ash now. My eyes grow wide and I growl using the darkness to see ten wolf bodies lying dead around my camp. "Why did they have to send me out?" I yell loudly loud enough for both Kino and Ace to hear. I then send out a massive blast of wind knocking down all the trees in a 15 foot radius, and sending energy far beyond that. * * *

Ace


I felt the blast of wind and heard the dragons roar. I got close to the ground to avoid being knocked over by the energy sweeping through the land. I looked in the direction of the wind and sound. I ran a short distance and found the bodies of three wolves. I didn't feel anything for them, nor the family they left behind. I was a loner, even in my own tribe. I stood back up and waited for the panther and the dragon to come running, as I knew they both would. * * *

Kino


My ears perk as I hear the dragon's voice echo through the forest. "I hope that bastard got what he deserves." I say, not even bothering to get up. I begin thinking. 'Maybe I should go up to the wolves' tribe. See if I can reason with them tomorrow. I guess I will sleep on it.' I think to myself again before I close my eyes, just wanting to get some rest. * * *

Sia


I growl loudly and start walking back, the air around me swirling in a vortex, faster and faster, cutting down the trees I pass by. "I'll kill every wolf I see." I growl still walking heading into the panther's camp. I head right to Kino's tent, any attacks being stopped by the swirling wind around me. I avoid hitting any of the panthers directly. I walk into Kino's tent and just sit there knowing he would wake up soon because of all the noise the wind was making. * * *

Kino


I jerk up and my eyes widen as I see you before me. I jump out of my bed with a paw aimed for you. "Why are you back already? What the fuck do you want?" I yell, my eyes turning a deep blue. My other paw turned into a fist. * * *

Sia


I don't say anything, only look at him for a while. "I'm not here to fight, I'm here to talk." I say. I let the wall of wind down and stare into his eyes. "Attack if you want. It'll just go right through me." * * *

Kino


"Since when do you only want to talk?" I question, my paw still aimed at him. "This is about that scream I heard you make earlier, isn't it?" * * *

Sia


"Yes it is." I still look at him, not really seeing him with my eyes. "The wolves attacked and now there's nothing left of the dragon tribe except for myself." I close my eyes and sigh. "I know you may not believe me, or even want to hear me out, but I was following my orders. I was told to attack but not kill. Now I'd like to join up with you and the rest of your tribe to fight those bastard wolves." * * *

Ace


I decided not to waste any more time. I should report back to my leader if I wasn't being followed. I stood up. Besides, the fox had gone into the panther camp. He was probably dead now anyways. I returned to our tribes caves and went to talk to the leader about the new developments. I entered the main cave and was set upon by three or four wolves. "What the fuck are you doing?" I shouted. "You have become a danger to the tribe, Ace. You do not embrace the pack mentality that forms the basis of our society. You have yet to choose a mate, when those half your years have. You come and go as you please. And for that you are being cast out." The Alpha said. "WHAT?" I shouted. I shook one paw free and shot a burst of fire at the elder. One of the other wolves jumped in the way. Suddenly, every wolf charged their own shots and I was engulfed in flames before I could react and thrown out into a clearing in the forest to die. The burn marks were extensive but, because of my training, I was able to survive, albeit painfully. * * *

Kino


"WHAT?" I yell. The earth shakes with my yell. "How dare you ask me such an idiotic question. What makes you think I would ever let you in my tribe? You have attacked all of us over and over just as the rest of your bloody tribe did, and as the wolves have done." My body shakes as I look furiously at the dragon. * * *

Sia


"Ok fine, I'll leave you to die." I open my eyes and shoot a spear of wind right through your right shoulder. I quickly wrap the shadows around me and disappear, reappearing at the edge of their camp. I walk through the forest heading to the lake in the center. * * *

Ace


Ace finally regained consciousness, though he still couldn't move. My body still had burns up and down, and my pants, my only clothing, was burned away by the blasts of my former tribesmen. My only hope was that someone could come by and help me. * * *

Kino


I yell in pain as the spear pierces my shoulder and goes right through. My muscles shredded, my arm hangs limp and useless at my side. I growl and prepare to fire a blast at the dragon, but he disappears before I can. "Damn you, you bastard!" I yell out. * * *

Sia


I manage to make it to the lake and calmly slide into it, washing away the blood, dirt and grime that I had accumulated from days upon days of fighting the other tribes. What would I do now? I can't fight the wolves alone, and the panthers won't allow me to join them. I growl and pledge that I will continue fighting the wolves, even if it costs my life. I begin walking towards the wolf camp, when something in the clearing catches my eye. I move closer and realize it is a burned fur. I rush to its aid, thinking it may be one of my tribesmen, who escaped the massacre. But when I get there, I realize it is a wolf. I growl and back up a bit, thinking this is a trap. I scan the forest edge, and see no hint of an ambush. I look back down at the wolf. Why is he out here? And what are the burn marks from? * * *

Ace


'Shit.' I think to myself. 'Of all the furs that could come by, it had to be the dragon. Of all the fucking rotten luck. But, beggars can't be choosers.' "Help.......me." I manage to say softly. It hurts to even talk. They really did a number on me. * * *

Sia


"And why should I help you, stinking mutt? Your tribe killed my family, my friends, and burned my home to the ground. Why do you possibly think that I would help you now?" I raise my paw and aim at the wolf, getting ready to finish his pitiful existence on this earth. * * *

Ace


"Because....." I whimper in pain from speaking. "We are in the same boat....so to speak... My tribe.......cast me out......and gave me these.....burns. I have.......no tribe either..." I manage the last words, and then black out on the ground. * * *

Sia


I listen to the wolfs' brief story. I feel a bit of pity for him. His tribe cast him out, after attacking him ruthlessly. He was not part of the party that attacked my tribe. Perhaps.........no, what would my dead tribesmen think if I took care of the wolf. Traitor they would call me. But still.......he needed help. And I was the only one to give it right now. I couldn't leave him here to die. Not when he was no longer an enemy of mine. I picked up the wolf and flew him to a near by cave. It was empty, and I could smell the steam from a hot spring near by. I carried him back to the spring and placed him gently in it, then stripped myself of my robe and arm blades, and climbed in next to the wolf. I held his head above the water with one arm, and slowly washed his burns and cuts clean. The hot water must have woken him up, because half way through, he woke up. He didn't say anything, only watched me as I finished cleaning his wounds. * * *

Ace


"Why are you helping me?" I manage to ask the dragon. He should have killed me in the clearing. He had no reason to help. * * *

Sia


"Because you are no longer a member of my enemies anymore. And you needed help." I looked the wolf up and down. He was rather good looking, but was in critical condition as is. He was certainly not up for sex, of any kind, at the moment, if he was even interested in the kind I was thinking of. I climbed out, and stood for a second, getting used to the cold cave air, before pulling him out gently. "Can you stand yet?" I ask him. I place his legs on the ground, but continue holding him up. * * *

Ace


"I......think so....." I move one leg forward, and growl lightly in pain. I step away from the dragons grasp, only to begin falling. * * *

Sia


I move quickly to catch the wolf, holding him up. I laugh a little. "I guess not huh?" I carry him over to a rock and sit on it myself, holding him in my lap like a new born cub. * * *

Ace


"I feel ridiculous here. Can you just sit me on the ground?" I blush a little. I havn't been held like that in a very long time, especially by someone as nice as the dragon. I would have to figure out a way to repay him for this. * * *

Sia


"Of course." I lean down and place the wolf against the rock I am sitting on. I lean him gently back against it, and make sure he is propped up against one of my legs, so he doesn't fall over. "Better?" I ask him. * * *

Ace


"Much." I look down at the ground. "My..........name is Ace." * * *

Sia


"I am Sia." * * *

Background


Ace and Sia become good friends, as Sia nurses Ace back to health. Meanwhile, the panther and wolf tribes continue their war, trying to gain dominance over the other, and the territory of the once powerful dragon tribe. The wolves begin to win the fight, and slowly but surely, they slowly weaken the panther tribe. Kino, along with some of his men, escape, as the wolves destroy their camp and burn it to the ground, as they did to the dragons. The wolves were in complete control of the area now. Kino and his men move from place to place, hitting the wolves in weak spots and never staying in one place too long. They eventually come across a cave..... * * *

Kino


"This is a good place to rest men. I can smell a hot spring that we can bathe our wounds in." He heads towards the cave entrance and stops. There are ashes from a burned out fire at the mouth of the cave, along with some strips of cloth, covered in blood. I growl low in my throat, causing my men to stop. They look at me questioningly, but I ignore them. I walk slowly towards the mouth of the cave. * * *

Sia


I notice the panthers approaching, and tell Ace silently to go further back into the cave, then say, "Leave now, if you value your lives." After I finish, I move to the back of the cave as well, with Ace. * * *

Kino


"Ha, and why should we be scared." So, the dragon was here huh? I thought he was dead, along with the rest of his friends. Oh well. He can be dealt with easily enough. "Why should the last dragon live in a cave? I thought you would have ran away long ago, after your tribe was killed. * * *

Ace


I growled at the panthers remarks. He wont get away with saying that to my friend. I had healed nicely, thanks to Sia's care. I was back to my former strength, and I knew that, between Sia and I, we could take out these petty cats. * * *

Sia


I could feel Aces anger at the cat, but held his arm, not wanting him to charge at them. He had just healed. Besides I care for hi........no, I can't think that right now. I need to focus on the cats. I look at the mouth of the cave from around a large boulder and frown. There were quite a few of them. The leader, the one I had fought all that time ago, was standing in the front. He was probably the strongest. I could get behind and kill a few of the lesser before he could stop me, then Ace could get the rest. I whispered my plan to Ace as quietly as possible. * * *

Kino


"I hear you dragon. What are you saying?" I place a paw on the ground and freeze most of the cave floor. They won't be able to move nearly as easily as me or my panthers could on ice. I looked around the cave and didn't see anyone. They were either deeper in the cave, or hiding somewhere around here. * * *

Ace


I listen to Sia's plan and nod. It sounded good. I clenched my fist and got ready. He made the first move. * * *

Sia


I wrapped the shadows around me and moved quietly behind the group of panthers that were standing at the mouth of the cave. My arm blades slid out and I sliced neatly through two of their throats before the others could react. I fired blasts of wind at two more, and watched a third and fourth burst into flames. That would be Ace. The only one not touched was the leader. He was to be saved for last. When the last of his men were killed, I stood at the mouth of the cave, behind the panther leader, and Ace stepped out in front of him. "Now, what were you saying before?" I ask, a grin on my face as I look at the panther. * * *

Kino


I could only watch in horror as my men were dispatched so easily. I stood and watched as a wolf......A wolf, stepped out from behind the boulder and looked right at me. "Ahh...poor dragon. You teamed up with the wolves have you? That's a shame. No pride for your tribesmen eh?" I laughed, trying to get a rise out of the dragon. * * *

Sia


"Fuck you. I would never team up with those scum. This wolf was outcast from his tribe. He is no enemy of mine." I snarled at the panther and held my paw out, ready to fire at him, should I need to. * * *

Kino


"Interesting. So let me get this straight. You..." I pointed at the wolf, "Have effectively lost your tribe. You..." I point at the dragon, "Have lost your tribe to the wolves, as have I? Very interesting. Dragon, do you remember what you asked of me some time ago? Right after your tribe was destroyed?" * * *

Sia


I growl. How dare he. "Yes, I do. I asked for your help, and you spat in my face. By the way, how's that shoulder doing?" I grin. "And I have to say, if you hadn't thrown me out, I would never have found the wolf in front of you, and he would probably be dead if it weren't for me." * * *

Kino


"Ahh, so you two are mates? Is that it now? Ha, how cute. But war is never the time for love. You should both know that." I sneer, but I think of how I have longed for a mate. My tribe being destroyed completely made that impossible now............or did it? * * *

Ace


I blush deeply, without wanting to at the panther's comments. Mates? Well, I can't deny that I would like to have Sia as a mate, but that would not work out. I was a wolf, and he was a dragon. It was never meant to be. * * *

Sia


"What? No, we are not mates. Though......." I had to stop myself quickly, before I said too much. I glared at the panther. I shot a small blast of wind at him, not enough to damage him, but enough to show him we meant business. * * *

Kino


I could tell from the wolfs blush, and the dragons half reply that they liked each other, but hadn't said it to each other yet. They couldn't see each other from where they were, so they had no idea of the others feelings. Perfect. I grinned. "Well, then perhaps you wouldn't mind an extra fur on your side. We could fight the wolves together. Hmm? What do you say?" * * *

Sia


I walk past him and over to Ace. I ask him what he thinks of the whole thing. I mention that it could be a trap. I lick his neck lightly and tell him that we need to talk privately later as well. * * *

Ace


I blush lightly as Sia licks my neck, and say that we should at least give him a chance. I turn back to the panther. "How do we know we can trust you?" I look into the panthers eyes. * * *

Kino


"Well, honestly, you don't. but the fact that you just killed 6 of my tribes men should be more than enough proof for you that, even if I tried to ambush you, it would be little use." I look at the two and sigh. If only I could find someone...... * * *

Sia


"Fine, now go out there and wait. We need to talk about something first." I wait for him to go, then pull Ace back deeper into the cave. When we are a good distance away from him, I look at Ace straight in the eyes and smile. "Ace.....I....don't know quite how to say this......but.....I like you. A lot. I was......wondering......what that panther said......about us.....being mates......um....would you....like to?" * * *

Ace


I smile at Sia and lean in to kiss him. "I would like nothing more Sia. I owe you my life." I move forward and wrap my arms around him tightly. We had long ago decided to shun clothes, since I didn't have any to wear anyways, and so our already naked bodies rubbed against each other slowly and lovingly. I take him into my arms and hold him close against me. My paws wander across his scaled body and I murr contently. "Sia........I.....love you." * * *

Sia


"I love you too, Ace" I say, wrapping my arms around him as well, and licking his neck gently. I smile and break our embrace, turn to face the wall, place my arms against it, and lift my tail slightly. "Take me, Ace. Make me yours forever." I say in lust and passion. * * *

Ace


I walk up behind Sia and kiss him passionately, our tongues wrestling inside our maws as we kiss for our first time. I murr into his maw and break the kiss. "Are you sure?" I ask. I place my now hard and erect cock at his entrance and pause. * * *

Sia


"Yes, I am sure. Take me." I brace myself against the wall as I feel Aces cock at my hole. I tense it unconsciously, but tell myself that I need to relax. I try to relax as much as possible. * * *

Ace


I push into Sia slowly and moan as his tightness and warmth envelope my cock. I push further into him, inch by inch, until my hips contact his and our balls tap slightly against each other. I moan and wait, letting him adjust to my size. * * *

Sia


I moan loud as Ace forces his cock into my hole, the only lube being his pre. I push back gently and feel my cheeks touch his hips, and I know he is all the way inside me. I moan and groan as I adjust to his size. After a second or two, it becomes too much. "Fuck me, Ace." I moan into the rock wall in front of me. * * *

Ace


"Gladly, my love." I pull out about half way, and then push back in. I start slow, not wanting to hurt my new love and mate, but soon, his tightness becomes too much, and I have to thrust harder to keep up with my rising passion and lust. Soon, my flesh slaps against his scales as I fuck him harder and harder, our moans of passion rising as we make love against the cave wall. I place my paws on his hips and pull him back with each thrust, my knot forming and pushing against his tailhole with each thrust, but not entering him. * * *

Sia


I moan even louder, feeling the swelling knot press against my entrance. "Oh, Ace. Tie us. Please, tie us." I groan. * * *

Ace


I nod slightly and continue thrusting into Sia, my climax drawing near. I give one final push and pop my knot inside Sia and howl as I release my cum inside him. I continue pumping my meat in and out of him, trying to coax every last drop of seed out of my balls and into his ass. * * *

Sia


I groan as I feel Ace fill my ass with his cum. "Oh, Ace. Thank you so much. I wanted to do this with you since we first met." I grab a hold of my erect cock and begin stroking it. Because of the good pounding my ass got from Ace, I only needed to stroke for a bit before my climax hits and I spray my seed against the wall. It slides down the rocks and forms a pool at my feet. I moan in ecstacy as Ace finishes pumping his seed into me. I lean back and rub against him. * * *

Ace


I smile and wrap my arms around Sia when I finish. "Heh, we are stuck like this for a bit, love. I hope you don't mind." I kiss and nibble at Sia's neck gently. * * *

Kino


"Shit, what's taking them so long?" I walk into the cave and hear moans coming from deeper. I grin, knowing what was taking so long this time. I walk further into the cave and stop behind a rock, watching the two make love. I purr softly, not letting them hear me. I groan slightly as my cock peaks out of its sheath. I smile and step out from behind the rock when they finish. "Hmm...Not mates eh?" I grin. "Looks like you two are having fun. Should I come back later?" * * *

Ace


I jump lightly as I hear the panther's voice. I blush at his comments. "No, I think we are finished. But we are still.......um....talking, so give us a few more minuets and we will be out there in a sec." I pull slightly on the knot, but it's still locked firmly in Sia's tailhole. * * *

Sia


I remain silent at Kino's comments, as I am the one being taken like a bitch. I moan slightly as Ace pulls on the knot, and relax again when he stops. * * *

Kino


"Fine. I'll be outside, but hurry up, will you?" I smile and turn around. I am a bit jealous of the other two, but I don't dwell on it too long. I walk back to the mouth of the cave and sit on a rock. I practice my powers, making one pebble rise, and then dropping it, and then making another one rise. * * *

Ace


"I guess that was a bit embarrassing for you, huh love?" I wrap my arms around Sia's waist and pull him against me, my cock pushing against his prostate again. I smile and nibble his neck lightly again. "I love you" I whisper in his ear. * * *

Sia


I moan loudly as Ace pushes against my insides. "I love you too." I manage to gasp out. I smile and squeeze my tailhole around his cock, and then bend back over. "I think you are small enough now. Try pulling out now." * * *

Ace


I moan and murr as Sia squeezes my cock. "Ok." I tug gently at my cock, and it slips free, my knot shrinking and my cock sliding back into my sheath. I turn Sia around and kiss him passionately. I hold the kiss for a few seconds, and then break it. "We should get back to that panther. He's probably waiting for us." * * *

Sia


I nod and walk to the mouth of the cave, and sit down next to the panther. "My name is Sia. The wolf is Ace. Who are you?" * * *

Kino


"My name is Kino." I look at the naked dragon. "Did you all have fun in there?" I grin. * * *

Ace


I walk out to the cave mouth, and hear the conversation between Kino and Sia. "Yes, we did. And by the way, it's none of your business what goes on between us." * * *

Kino


"Alright, alright. I meant no offence by the question. I was only........jealous I guess." * * *

Sia


"Of what?" * * *

Kino


I pause for a second, considering the question. "Nevermind. We should go. If we want to attack the wolf camp, it will take quite a bit of work. We need to scout their camp out and then decide how to attack. I think with the three of us, we can manage to take it out." * * *

Ace


"We don't need to. I came from there, remember?" * * *

Kino


"Right. We are counting on you to show us the way through the camp to the leader then. Sia and I will follow you and provide back up." * * *

Ace


I nod and look at Kino, then at Sia. I think of what we are about to do. For them, it is natural to want to fight their enemy, but these were my tribesmen. They were my family..............No. They abandoned that right when they threw me out and attacked me. * * *

Background


The battle that was fought was fierce. The wolves were taken by surprise from the three fighters, and many were killed. Ace avoided killing unless they posed a threat to himself or to Sia, but his friends showed no such mercy. They killed without mercy each and every wolf they came across. Man, women, child. It didn't matter. They spilt wolf blood at every opportunity. * * *

Ace


I led them to the cave that held the leader. I stepped through the mouth of the cave and remembered what happened the last time he stepped in here. I charged both paws with fire and looked around the cave. The leader was seated. He had grown older since I last saw him. I aimed both paws at him. "You. You left me to die. You abandoned me, and for that you will pay." The leader stood up and glared down at me. "You had no right to come back, just as you had no right to be here in the first place. You were a danger to your tribe and yourself, and it was for that reason that I cast you out." The leader said in a deep and commanding voice. Though he had grown older, he had not lost any of his command nor his charisma that had gained him the position he was in now. "Now die." The leader shouted. He fired blasts of lightning at me. I countered with the fire at my paws. The collision of energy and fire mixed and exploded in the room. I was thrown back, and I could see the others were too. The leader landed in his chair and looked at the three of us. "You three shall die." He said. He charged a large ball of lightning and took aim. I looked at Sia and Kino. "Walk away now. I don't want you two to see this. Especially you, Sia. Just go...." * * *

Sia


"What? N-no.....What are you going to do? Ace? I'm not leaving you here alone." * * *

Ace


The leader stopped for a second and looked at me and then at the dragon. "You....you are....mates? You took up a DRAGON as your mate?!" The leader shouted. "You have shamed this entire tribe with your actions." I looked back at Kino. "Kino, go take care of the rest of the tribe. I'll take care of this fucker. Sia............go. Please. I don't want you to see this." I turned back around and charged a blast the size of my body. It formed and began to take a different shape, other than the standard orb shape of most of my shots. It seemed to grow bigger, as I grew smaller. It was time to use it......I had found my one, true love, and I could actually use this. If I had tried to use this at any other time, it would do nothing, and kill me in the process. Instead, this would destroy everything in the cave, as well as much outside it. "Kino, you should probably make sure you are well away from the cave for this. Sia....Come here. Quickly. * * *

Sia


I walk towards Ace, tears beginning to form in my eyes. What was he planning. "I'm here love. I will always be by your side. Through everything." I lean in and kiss Ace passionately. * * *

Ace


I kiss Sia back, savoring the last kiss I will ever have with him. I begin to cry. "Go. Now!" My blast takes more shape, as I pour more and more energy into it. The leaders eyes grow wide, as he realizes what it is. "You fool. You wouldn't. NO!!!" He begins trying to form a larger blast. It falls far short of mine. I cant hold in the blast anymore. I throw one arm out at Sia and form a small shield around him, then release the blast. It moves forward, but at no great speed. It seems to tug at my body, pulling my very soul with it. And that's exactly what its doing. I howl my last words as my soul is ripped from my body. "SIA, I LOVE YOU!!!" My soul tears away from my physical self and the blast doubles in size. It slowly moves towards the leader, and he throws his meager blast at it. It does nothing. He screams as he is vaporized in the blast. It continues on, hitting the back of the cave and sending out an immense explosion. My physical body collapses, and the last thing I see with my eyes is Sia, looking at my body with horror and sorrow, tears streaming down his face. 'I'm sorry Sia. I didn't want you to see this happen.' I think. * * *

Sia


"ACE!!!!!!!" I scream. His shield doesn't allow me to move from where I am, and I watch in horror as his body slumps to the ground. I have only a few seconds to see him before the blast destroys everything. I shield my eyes against the intense light of the blast, and curl up in a ball on the ground, sobbing. "Ace, you bastard. Why did you do it? Why did you do that? Why?" A small breeze washes over my body, and I realize the shield is gone. It reminds me that Ace must well and truly be dead. I look where his body was, only to find nothing there. Hes gone. More tears roll down my cheeks. I sit on the ground right there, not moving. I feel the breeze again. It feels so calming and loving. It felt like..........Ace!!. I turned around, and saw a blue, transparent form of Ace lingering behind me, waving slightly, tears in its eyes. I run forward and try to hug him, only for my arms to go through. I realize it is only a ghost. * * *

Aces ghost


"I am sorry to leave you Sia. That attack was reserved only for when our blood mates are in trouble. The fact that it worked when I was thinking of you proves that you are my one, true mate, now and forever after. I may not be with you in physical form, but I will always be with you in spirit. I love you." * * *

Sia


And with that, Ace's ghost faded away. More tears rolled down my cheeks. I curled up in a ball and sobbed for days, not moving at all. I could feel Ace's presence around me, protecting me from everything, but it couldn't protect me from myself. I sobbed until no more tears came, and then I cried some more. Kino came back after a few days, making sure the last of the wolves were gone. He found me, curled up, and sat beside me, stroking my back gently, and telling me he was sorry. I finally got up and wrapped my arms around him, just needing to hold someone and be held. He did the same, and kept gently petting my back, comforting me. He said that, in Ace's absence, he would like to take care of me. I agreed. I let him lead me off somewhere. I will never be the same as I was before. Never. Ace's spirit never left my side, and neither did Kino. Both cared for me, as well as they could. Kino and I had sex a couple years afterwards. I enjoyed it, but I never forgot my first, and last, time with Ace. He will always be in my memories and thoughts.............always.................. End.
