Her dream faded, and a quiet moan of complaint slipped from her throat as she tried to grasp its edges with smoky fingers. No sooner did it vanish into obscurity did its details blur along with it, becoming a grey haze and dispersing as her hands swept through it in wild attempts to pluck a solid recollection from its depths. But alas, it was gone. Gradually, she became aware of the ground, hard beneath her form. She could feel the edge of a ruffled blanket tickling the underside of her jaw, her body curled beneath its appreciated warmth. As sleep evaporated and she woke dimly to the darkness behind her eyelids, Leixia realised that she was no longer alone, as she had been when she had first laid her head down to rest. She felt the tingling sensation of soft hair against the tip of her nose, stirred ever slightly by her small breaths. Her body appeared to have curved to match the shape of another, for she felt plains of muscle pressed against her chest and her hips flush against another’s. Her fingers twitched as she registered the soft, fleshy curve of Natsu’s waist beneath them. She didn’t need to open her eyes to realise that she lay beside – or rather behind – her ninja friend. It was not the first time she had unconsciously sidled close to Natsu after she had handed over the watch to Maxi and come to sleep next to her. She was drawn to warmth in her state of sleep like a moth to the flame. However, something appeared to be amiss. The ninja seemed to be painfully tense, and Leixia could feel the tightness of her body with growing clarity as she woke fully. Leixia found herself curled rather loosely around Natsu’s smaller, tighter form, and the young girl began to worry that her friend was not experiencing as pleasant a dream as the one she vaguely remembered leaving. But even within her moment of worry, Leixia felt a familiar warmth rising gently to her cheeks as she cracked her eyes open and the final hooks of sleep were cast away. Being able to confirm with her eyes what she had surmised from the physical hints of her body caused her to swallow a sudden lump in her throat. From the very first moment she had witnessed Natsu fight, Leixia had been struck with a sense of awe that had left her speechless. The ninja was like a bolt of lightning, her unbound and wild golden hair flung through the air as she darted from place to place, leading the invisibly sharp tips of her dual kodachi towards her target with a mastery that Leixia envied. Beyond that was the fact that to her eyes, Natsu was shaped for battle. Leixia was soft and elegant, a lotus flower that her mother had raised and nurtured and treasured more so than words could articulate. But Natsu was something else. Her scarlet outfit clung jealously to her body and served to emphasise the shifting plains of her back, pressing against the taut flesh of her abdomen and highlighting the faint lines of defined muscle. Leixia was entranced the moment she had seen the ninja, and she could disguise her prolonged stares behind the excuse of her youth and utter unfamiliarity with virtually everything that existed beyond the palace walls. But there was more. It hadn’t taken long before Leixia found herself looking at Natsu with something other than intense fascination. Her bodysuit swept down and clung tightly to the curve of her buttocks, emphasising its shape and size and inviting her young gaze. Perhaps the thought triggered a vague recollection of her dream, but Leixia’s hips shifted ever so slightly. The ninja twitched – Leixia felt it, and she swore she heard the faintest intake of breath as she fell still. Leixia paused for a long moment, wondering if her friend was indeed being tortured by a bad dream. Glancing down momentarily at the arrangement of their bodies, a hazy image flitted past Leixia’s mind’s eye and her hips stirred once again without conscious thought. The movement this time was more pronounced, a slow and circular motion that sent heat flaring to Leixia’s cheeks. At the same time, Natsu noticeably flinched. Leixia gasped and pushed herself away from the ninja in surprise. She’s awake?! “Natsu?” She didn’t respond, and Leixia thought herself mistaken with her assumption until a muffled groan corrected her. Leixia propped herself up on an elbow as Natsu stirred, her tightly curled and tense form stretching out slowly. Leixia’s eyes were drawn to the subtle shifts of her muscles as she moved, a single, continuous ripple seeming to flow down through the fabric of the bodysuit along her back. As though following its path, Leixia’s eyes traced the curve of the fabric as it swept below her hips, hugging to the curvature of her body and tightly embracing the ninja’s powerful glutes. Upon them did the young girl’s gaze linger. Natsu sat up with a strained moan, lifting a hand and pushing it behind golden hair and seeming to massaging her neck with a sigh of relief. After a few moments, she lifted her arms above her head, settling the palm of her left hand atop the back of her other and pushing up towards the morning sky. With a grunt accompanying her long stretch, Natsu’s back arched slightly as though she fought to brush her fingertips across the clouds above, utterly – and thankfully – oblivious to the flush of colour that had risen to her friend’s face behind her. Leixia positively absorbed the shape of the ninja’s body, her eyes flitting as the plain of Natsu’s back rippled with an undercurrent of strength. “Morning”, the ninja greeted, looking over her shoulder as she lowered her arms. Leixia actually winced at the dark shadows beneath Natsu’s eyes. “I hope you slept well”, Natsu spoke before Leixia’s lips parted. Leixia paused as she thought she heard a slight stress on ‘you’, and her friend’s voice seemed rather monotonous to boot. It was not the matter of Natsu not being a ‘morning person’, as Leixia knew Natsu’s mentor had pretty much drilled that out of her for life. “Did you?” Leixia asked. “I…” Natsu paused and frowned, pressing her lips together as she fell silent. Her eyes seemed to flick downwards before she quickly turned away. “I slept alright”, she said evenly. “Hmm, you seem a little tense”, Leixia said as the ninja made motions to rise. “How about a massage?” she offered brightly. Natsu laughed as she stood to her feet and curved an arm behind her back in another stretch. “I doubt you’d know how to”, she told Leixia, smirking. “Wasn’t that the servants’ job?” “So?” Leixia retorted, folding her arms tightly across her chest. “I watched them pretty carefully”. “Of course you did”, Natsu said, stepping past Leixia as a hand descended and patted her head. Leixia fumed and swept a hand upwards to swat the ninja away. Natsu merely chuckled as she danced away and made towards the alert form of Maxi, mentioning something to him as she passed which drew a nod from him. “Don’t go too far”, she heard their guardian of sorts advise. Natsu merely grunted and lifted a hand casually to indicate she had heard and understood. Maxi turned his head towards Leixia as the ninja disappeared into the trees; she was already rousing herself, pushing aside the blanket and rising to her feet. Xiba still lay fast asleep off to her left, lips moving soundlessly though she could guess pretty accurately what he might’ve been mumbling. Maxi didn’t like any of them walking off by themselves, though he trusted their ability enough to not chaperone them himself. Leixia paused before she set off to follow after Natsu, first reaching down to one of her satchels. “Don’t wander off with your eyes closed”, Maxi said plainly to her as she jogged past. She found Natsu just out of sight of the camp, sitting with her legs crossed and her back high and straight. Her hands were curled into fists and she pressed them together, her forearms drawing a perfect line through the air. She trod quietly, though she knew Natsu would be aware of her presence. The ninja’s eyes were closed in meditation, and Leixia knew not to disturb her; this was no simple quest for peace and enlightenment. Natsu meditated each morning – or at least should have done – as her mentor had instructed. She was required to quell and rein in the demon sealed within her body, Arahabaki, who often thrashed within its bonds and brought the young ninja fiery discomfort. It was another element of Natsu that Leixia found greatly fascinating, and Natsu had been thrown off initially by her enthusiasm and almost envious curiosity regarding the great demon locked within her where others would gladly flee. Leixia knew that her presence was a comfort to her friend whenever she sunk into meditation. She often displayed a reluctance to carry out this particular ritual, and Leixia had seen the pained expressions lining her face and worried greatly when she had initially watched the ninja in secret. When Natsu had eventually invited her to sit with her, being aware of her secretive presence the entire time, Leixia realised that it also brought a sense of comfort to herself. She settled quickly into the idea of a protective role, announcing this in declarative fashion to her friend who had smirked and then smiled softly. Beyond that, it was also the perfect time to do something about the ninja’s unruly hair. Natsu had favoured a simple, though rather messy ponytail before meeting Leixia. Her hair was a wild, stubborn thing that she had all but given up trying to control. Leixia had leapt at the opportunity to fashion the ninja’s long golden locks into something stylistic and dynamic, something that would represent the fighter Leixia thought her to be. Leixia perched herself on her knees behind the still, quiet form of the ninja, holding the edge of a length of pink ribbon between her lips. Carefully so as not to disturb her friend’s meditation, Leixia gathered Natsu’s hair in her hands. Her hands and fingers were swift and practiced here, and the multiple tails of the elaborate style Natsu had quickly grown fond of soon arced upwards into the air. Leixia sat back on her heels, her work finished. Uncertainly, after a long moment of silently gazing at Natsu’s still form, Leixia lifted her hands once more. She could disguise this behind the massage she had offered Natsu earlier if the ninja reacted to what she was doing…she hoped at least. It was too difficult to just sit within such proximity of the body she so admired, though when she laid her hands ever so timidly at Natsu’s shoulders, she suddenly thought of the stories her mother used to tell her as a younger child. She figured that it was a strange moment for such a recollection. She felt Natsu stiffen as she touched her, immediately regretting her intentions. Her mind bid her to flee, but there seemed to be no strength in her legs. Her hands continued to move though, striking up a slow and gentle rhythm. A relieved smile crept up to her lips when she felt Natsu relax and heard a quiet exhalation from the ninja, her fingers working to ease the tension from Natsu’s shoulders. Emboldened when her friend said nothing of her actions – and appeared to be enjoying it, Leixia’s eyes glanced downwards and her hands followed. Her fingers trailed down just below Natsu’s shoulders, applying slight pressure as she traced a crescent shape and swept up towards the back of her neck. “You do know what you’re doing, then”. Natsu turned her head slightly to glance over her shoulder. Leixia ducked her head shyly at the grin that curved her friend’s lips, mumbling as she spoke. “I distracted you”, she said apologetically. “Nah”, the ninja replied, “didn’t take too long today. I was just enjoying your attention”. “I could – umm…I could do it properly if you lie down”, Leixia offered in a quiet voice. Natsu shrugged. “Sure”. Leixia directed Natsu to lie flat on her front, her arms at her side and her face turned to the side. Auburn eyes glanced up at her as knelt down, and Leixia swallowed down the suggestion that such massages usually took place with the recipient being naked, heat flushing her cheeks. She had also seen the servants applying a special oil to their hands; lacking it however, she aimed to be as careful as possible. Shuffling over to kneel at Natsu’s head, Leixia felt a slight tremble in her hands and a pronounced thump thump in her chest as she leaned forward and laid her fingertips just below her friend’s shoulders. To her surprise, the ninja’s bodysuit was surprising soft and yielding to the touch; she had uneasily anticipated having to put up a fight with it. She pushed her hands down the length of Natsu’s back, her breath catching in her throat as she finally explored the plains of muscle that had captured her eyes and imagination for so long. Her hands moved outwards from the centre of Natsu’s back as her fingers glided upwards towards her shoulder in a shallow arc, at its peak ghosting along her sides. She repeated this several times, feeling her own skin tingle as Natsu sighed appreciatively. She shifted until she was positioned at Natsu’s side, relieved to see that the ninja’s eyes had fallen shut and a smile curved her lips. She didn’t think she could brave her gaze right now. This time starting from the base of her spine, Leixia’s thumbs trailed along the small depression at the centre of her back as she slowly pushed her hands upwards. A soft ‘ooo’ was drawn from Natsu’s lips as Leixia’s fingers slowed gradually as they approached her shoulders, briefly tracing the curve that led to her neck. Leixia brought her hands back down, softly stroking diagonally across the left side of Natsu’s back as she returned to the base of her spine. Leixia gazed at the swell Natsu’s buttocks, her eyes widening as she recalled the brief moment earlier on when she had ground her hips against the ninja. She was so glad her friend’s eyes were closed. Swallowing, Leixia ghosted her fingers across the top of the curve of Natsu’s buttocks before pushing her hands upwards along the depression of her back. Her hands slowed once again as she reached her shoulders and she increased slightly the pressure of her fingertips. Trailing them back down, Leixia stroked small lines incrementally up the length of Natsu’s back towards her left shoulder. Reaching it, she laid her left hand atop her right and applied pressure as she traced a path upwards to the curve where Natsu’s upper arm met her shoulder. A strange, but pleasurable heat pulsed through Leixia as she transferred herself over to the other side of Natsu’s body, stretching over the ninja and performing a small leap of sorts before landing quietly on the balls of her feet. There, she performed a similar routine, drawing yet another sigh from Natsu’s lips. Admittedly, she was becoming a little distracted. Natsu’s rump was a sight to behold, and the tight fit of her bodysuit accentuated the delicious curve of her buttocks. Leixia’s lips had gone dry and her tongue felt heavy in her mouth as she glanced down at it time and again. When she turned herself slightly and faced towards Natsu’s legs, pushing her thumbs along the line of her lower back, her eyes were fixed upon it. She could feel that single desire rising up from her core, bringing with it the heat that drew the moisture from her mouth. Her hands pushed down towards Natsu’s glutes, sliding down to trail along their sides before curving upwards. She grasped them at last, a piece of heaven squeezed between her fingers as her heart pounded with fury. “Leixia…” She panicked, her hands springing away as though scorched with fire. “Ah, I think we should get back!” she said hastily as Natsu propped herself up on her forearms and turned to look at her. “They’re probably wondering what’s taking us so long!” She laughed nervously and positively scampered away, leaving Natsu lying on the ground staring open-mouthed at her swiftly disappearing form. The ninja rolled over as silence settled around her, pointing a knee to the sky as she hid her eyes with a forearm. Her back tingled pleasurably in the aftermath of Leixia’s administrations…and she felt the ghost of her touch at her ass. She had just learned a great deal about her friend.
