Ninja Gaiden Koibito

Bayoninja: Primarius Climax

The full moon shone brightly in the night sky, casting an azure glow over the city. A large van was parked in a dark alley. A woman sat behind the wheel, her lean body wrapped in a trench coat and her eyes concealed behind shades. Her dark brown skin glistened with sweat in spite of the cool evening air. The woman clutched a small phone tightly in her right hand next to her ear.

“I already told you: it worked!” She snarled into the phone. Her Australian accent added an extra bite to her words. “But I need you to get me out of the city immediately!”

“Watch your tone, Anesthesia.” A curt female voice responded. “What was the exact effect?”

“The ritual oil you supplied worked perfectly.” Anesthesia repeated herself for what seemed like the hundredth time. “Hayabusa’s body responded immediately. He lost all control over his instincts. I ran another set of tests on myself an hour ago. His immortality was transferred to me just as I said it would be!”

“How lovely for you.” The other woman sighed with disinterest. “Are you certain the curse was truly reawakened within Hayabusa?”

“Did you not hear me just now?” Anesthesia shook her head in shock. “I have achieved immortality! Aren’t you the least bit interested in that?”

“Immortality is of little interest to me and my purposes.” The other woman said flatly. “I will ask just once more: Was the curse reawakened?”

“Yes.” Anesthesia answered tersely. “If he hasn’t turned already, he soon will.”

“Then the ritual oil is truly ready.” The other woman’s voice was full of pride. “You have done well, Anesthesia.”

“I need help.” Anesthesia glanced out into the night anxiously. “My win over Hayabusa was overturned, and those two Asian girls I sent back to the rematch failed. Listen, without the prize money I can’t leave the city without drawing attention. For a ninja, Hayabusa certainly has a lot of friends. They’ll find me.”

“You have served your purpose, Anesthesia.” The other woman said simply. “You will have to sort this out for your self.”

“What!?” Anesthesia gaped at the phone. “You can’t just cut me loose!”

“I wish you luck, Anesthesia.” The other woman said calmly. “May the Archfiend have mercy upon you.”

“Wait! You can’t do this, Elizabet!” Anesthesia hissed into the phone. There was no response. “Bitch.”

Anesthesia glanced over her shoulder into the back of the van. A large metallic cylinder lay on the floor surrounded by electronic equipment. She reached back and patted the cylinder.

“It seems we must bide our time, Lady X.” Anesthesia sighed and turned to look at the shadowy figure sitting silently next to her in the passenger seat. “I should have sent you to face Ryu, not those two twerps I kidnapped. You won’t fail me. You are my greatest success. My very own rose; as beautiful as you are evil.”

* * *

“Aaaaarghh!” Ryu Hayabusa cried out, bearing down against the pure evil attempting to claim his heart. He strained against the restraints binding him to the medical station’s examination table.

“Be strong, Ryu!” Yasha laid a hand on his chest, partly to comfort him and to hold him down. “You must not succumb to this vile curse!”

Lisa was hunched over her computer, typing away madly and staring at the data readouts with complete concentration, searching desperately for some glimmer of hope that the treatments could work.

“Lisa!” Ryu hissed through his teeth. “You…you must bring him here.”

“What?” Lisa asked, moving next to him cautiously. “Who must I bring here?”

“When I turn… I must be destroyed.” Ryu grimaced, feeling the dark tendrils of the curse coiling around his mind. “He’s the only one who could…aaargh! Bring him here, Lisa! Bring Hayate!”

The door hissed open as Hitomi and Leifang walked in followed by Aigle and Makoto. They came to an abrupt halt as they saw Ryu’s writhing body on the table. His eyes glowed bright red with the demonic power vying for his soul. His skin was now a vivid blue, with pulsating veins of light coursing beneath his flesh.

“Mein gott!” Hitomi gasped as she and the other three girls watched in horror as Ryu fought against the clasps holding his arms and feet to the table. Yasha pushed down harder against his chest while her other hand gripped the hilt of her katana hanging from her belt.

“You’re back.” Lisa looked up hopefully at the four girls. “Let’s talk in the corridor. Yasha, stay here.”

“Of course.” Yasha nodded firmly, her arm beginning to shake as she maintained pressure on Ryu’s chest. Lisa led the rest of them out into the hallway outside the medical station.

“Have Tina and Dixie returned yet?” Leifang asked as soon as the door slid shut behind them.

“Not yet.” Lisa shook her head worriedly. “But they had a long way to travel, and their mission is vital. My Tina won’t let us down, and she has Dixie watching her back. Miss Spencer and Candy Cane are still combing through the Rumble Roses XXX records for any more information on Anesthesia.” She then turned to Makoto and Aigle. “Do either of you remember anything?”

“Yes, in fact we--” A sudden crash from behind the door cut Makoto short.

“Oh no…” Lisa breathed as she rushed back inside.

Yasha lay sprawled on the floor, and for a moment Lisa feared the worst. Then the kunoichi stirred, and Lisa turned to scan the room. The medical bed was now a twisted pile of metal, and a large hole had been blasted in the ceiling. The Dragon Sword and Ryu’s blue ninja garb were both missing from the storage cabinet nearby.

Ryu was gone.

“Forgive me.” Yasha said as she got to her feet. “Ryu told me to stand back. He said it was consuming him. I did not listen. There was a bright light, and I lost consciousness.”

“There was nothing you could have done.” Lisa patted her on the shoulder. “But I need your help.”

“I’ll track him.” Yasha nodded.

“No.” Lisa shook her head. “Not yet. I need you to find someone else first; Ryu’s best friend, Hayate.”

“Why?” Yasha asked, seemingly affronted. “I can track Ryu myself.”

“Perhaps.” Lisa nodded. Tears began swelling in her dark eyes. “But…you will need help….to kill him.”

* * *

Ryu ran like he had never run before. The ground beneath his feet was a blur as he moved like a shadow over the land. Miles past by in seconds. The power of the Fiends coursed through his body. He only hoped that he reached his destination before the curse consumed him completely.

Time passed by in a haze of mountains and forests, and even oceans as he ran. Finally the spires of Tairon loomed up before him and he vaulted over the city’s walls with ease, moving like a wraith to the city’s plaza. The Serpent Statue sat silently in the night. As Ryu approached, the twin stone snakes began twirling around each other. The ring of stones on the plaza’s ground in front of the statue began to glow. It seemed like a lifetime since Ryu had last passed through the mystical portal in pursuit of the Vigoor Emperor and his Fiend minions. Ryu was uncertain why he felt so compelled to enter the portal once again, but it served one purpose if nothing else.

Ryu could die alone without endangering the ones he loved.

Stepping into the glowing portal, Ryu felt the familiar vertigo as the world around him spun away. Where he found himself, however, was anything but familiar. He now stood in a bright green meadow under a brilliant shining sun. He turned around and saw a majestic city off in the distance, glistening with ivory towers and spires that seemed to pierce the white clouds above.

An elegantly simple stone path ran through the meadow just beside him leading toward the city on the horizon. Ryu frowned, uncertain what to do. Then there was a strangely unnerving eagle cry, but as Ryu glanced up toward the sound, his heart froze.

Three creatures descended from the sky. Birdlike in appearance, they were each roughly twice the size of a man and each wore golden armor that matched their fair feathered bodies. The creatures glided down on powerful wings, clutching fearsome looking spears in their talon hands. They settled down in front of Ryu, screeching terribly as they circled around him.

The curse burned anew in Ryu’s blood, his eyes flashing bright red and the blue veins in his arms pulsating with power beneath his ninja garb. The creatures approached him, brandishing their spears with obvious intent. Ryu reached back and unsheathed the Dragon Sword. He would rather die than turn into a Fiend, but he was not a Fiend yet.

Just as the nearest creature lunged, a barrage of bullets whizzed past Ryu’s head, blasting the creature back a step. It wailed irritably, but did not seem mortally wounded. Ryu spun around and spotted the source of the shots. His glowing red eyes widened with disbelief.

A woman strode toward him. She was tall with dark hair and a striking figure. Her hair was wrapped high around in a conical shape easily a foot tall atop her head. Her body was wrapped in skin-tight fabric that shimmered exactly like her hair; revealing a remarkably voluptuous figure with seemingly endless legs and long slender arms. Long flowing capes were attached to her upper arms. An opening just beneath her collar revealed a hint of impressive cleavage, partly obscured by an ornate jewel set over her chest. Her sharp angular face was the picture of assertiveness, and her grayish green eyes starred coolly out from behind a pair of black rimmed glasses.

The woman hefted a pair of large pink and golden twin-barreled pistols in her hands. Suddenly Ryu noticed that what had at first appeared to be high-heel shoes were actually a matching second pair of guns strapped to her ankles, but surely they were ornamental. The woman set her left hand on her waist, cocking her hips.

“Time to play, boys!” She declared boldly in a sultry English accent. She grinned eagerly as she lunged forward with blinding speed.

Ryu rolled aside just as the birdlike creature behind him struck out with its spear. Ryu caught the strike with the Dragon Sword and forced the creature back another step. The woman leapt over Ryu and kicked the creature in its beaked face, sending it stumbling back. The remaining two creatures rushed forward.

“Get down!” The woman yelled at Ryu. He complied instantly, hearing the assured authority in her voice.

She flipped up onto her hands, twirling her legs around in the air as the creatures advanced. Ryu wondered what she was doing for a moment when the guns on her ankles began blasting away at the creatures. The bespectacled woman twisted her hips around with amazing elegance as she fired at each creature, forcing them back. She finally flipped back onto her feet and rushed headlong into them, kicking and punching away with her guns. She kicked out with her right foot, catching one creature in the neck, and while her leg remained extended, the gun on her ankle shot three times into the creature’s face, knocking it off its feet.

Ryu moved swiftly, bringing the Dragon Sword down and slicing through the birdlike monstrosity’s long neck. Bloody feathers flew up as Ryu turned toward the remaining two creatures. The woman was already jumping over one of them, slamming down on its head with the barrel of one of her pistols. In a flurry of kicks and gun blasts, the remaining two creatures were ended in a manner of seconds.

The woman arched her back, sighing with satisfaction. She began swaying her hips back and forth, moving languidly as she moved in some sort of dance.

“I’ve got a fever, and the only cure is more dead Angels.” She purred before holstering her pistols and turning to face Ryu. “And you are no Angel, my boy.”

“Angels?” Ryu asked, his voice sounding hoarse and resonate. The curse was encroaching on him by the second, but Ryu was mesmerized by this woman. “Those creatures…were Angels?”

“They were.” The woman inclined her head, giving him a coy smile. “But a demon should know that. I’m afraid you’ll have to be going back to Inferno now, dear. As an Umbra Witch, I must insist that you stay where you belong.”

“I am…no demon.” Ryu shook his head, pulling off his hood. “I am Ryu Hayabusa. I am a ninja.”

“With glowing red eyes and blue skin?” The woman laughed almost crazily. “Nice try, little one. But Bayonetta is not one to be fooled quite so easily. Off you go!”

Bayonetta drew her pistols and Ryu brought the Dragon Sword up in a defensive guard.

“You do want to play!” Bayonetta grinned, licking her lips excitedly. “Let’s go!”

She opened fire, sending a hail of bullets flying toward Ryu. The Dragon Sword moved like an extension of his arm, turning aside the barrage effortlessly. After a few moments, Bayonetta ceased fire. She raised an eyebrow, narrowing her eyes.

“This is getting interesting.” She said. Suddenly a long katana appeared in her hands, nearly as long as she was tall.

She rushed forward, her blade slicing down at Ryu’s head. He blocked and struck back, the edge of his own blade slicing through a few strands of her hair, just missing her long slender neck. Bayonetta giggled with excitement, intensifying her assault. The two blades flashed between them, clashing in brilliant sparks as they fought across the meadow. They leaped up, fighting in the air as they each gave the fight every fiber of their being.

Ryu unleashed every technique he knew, but Bayonetta’s skill was incredible, keeping pace with him blow for blow. The witch and ninja battled with all they had, crossing their blades with flawless skill. Bayonetta kicked out, her heel slamming into Ryu’s jaw. Ryu grimaced in pain but managed to duck away a moment before the witch’s ankle-mounted pistol blasted the air where his head had been a moment before.

Bayonetta stepped back, and suddenly much of the fabric around her torso and legs seemed to flow off her, revealing toned abs and athletic thighs. In the same instant, a dark portal opened beneath Ryu’s feet and an enormous black fist emerged, slamming up into his chin and sending him flying back. The fist disappeared and the fabric around Bayonetta’s stomach and legs reappeared just as suddenly as it had vanished. Ryu jumped back onto his feet, readying the Dragon Blade.

“You are so… resilient!” Bayonetta shook her head. Ryu thought she would be furious, but she seemed to grow more excited as the fight continued. “Perhaps THIS!!!”

Once again the black fabric seemed to run off of Bayonetta’s thighs and stomach, leaving her in what appeared to be a bikini. The dark portal reappeared, this time above Ryu’s head, but he was ready. This time, a gigantic high-heeled foot shot down from the churning blackness. Ryu caught the boiling black magic in his hands as it came down on him, attempting to squash him like a bug. Ryu’s legs bulged with muscle, and his arms rippled with strength.

“Impossible!” Bayonetta gasped as she watched Ryu force her magical attack back up into the portal with a mighty roar. The black fabric reappeared around her. The sword vanished and she reached up, wrapping her hands around the back of her head and cocking her hips to the side. She called out an ancient incantation with a strong voice.

Ryu crouched low, waiting for another fist or foot to appear. The fabric around Bayonetta’s body vanished entirely, and her hair seemed to stream like water in a spiral around her, obscuring her more intimate features. It was in that moment that Ryu realized that her entire outfit was composed of her hair, controlled by some sort of magic. Her hair coursed into the ground at her feet, creating a portal. Just as expected, another magic portal opened up in the ground behind Ryu. This time, however, no mere foot or fist appeared.

An enormous dragon’s head emerged from the darkness. Its horned head seemed to be composed entirely of dark magic, shimmering like Bayonetta’s mystical hair. It lunged toward Ryu, its gaping maw filled with serrated teeth. Ryu leapt up to meet it, brandishing the Dragon Sword fearlessly.

Bayonetta watched as Ryu disappeared inside the dragon’s mouth. The dragon bit down, but instead of a rain of gore, the brilliant glittering blade of the Dragon Sword shot up through the roof of its mouth. Ryu roared valiantly, summoning fire ninpo that blazed into life around him. The dragon demon screamed in agony as Ryu leapt back out of its jaws. The ninja watched as the dragon slipped back down into the portal and vanished.

Ryu turned to face Bayonetta, ready to face her next attack. Her hair flowed back around her, reforming her suit. But she did not move to attack him again. The witch simply stood in thoughtful contemplation.

“Perhaps you are a ninja after all.” She reached up, tapping her sharp chin with her finger. “But what a strange look you have.”

“I am succumbing to a demonic curse.” Ryu said, gasping for breath. The enormous effort of fighting Bayonetta and her summoning attacks had left him little energy with which to combat the curse. He felt it wrapping his heart in evil. “I shall become a Fiend at any moment. Perhaps…perhaps you can stop me when I turn.”

“The Fiends!?” Bayonetta asked sharply, her eyes narrowing. “Obviously much has happened in the past centuries while I was napping. You fought them?”

“I have destroyed three Greater Fiends.” Ryu nodded, lowering the Dragon Sword.

“Marbus?” Bayonetta asked, her eyes lighting up.

“Yes.” Ryu said. “Alma and Doku as well. The Vigoor Emperor also fell by my hand.”

“The Vigoor Emperor!” Bayonetta gasped in shock. “You destroyed him? For eons he had eluded both the Umbra Witches and Lumen Sages!”

“But it seems his curse will claim me after all.” Ryu grimaced, falling to one knee as the darkness rose up in his soul. “Promise that you will destroy me once I turn.”

“You aren’t going to turn, ninja.” Bayonetta stepped forward. “I won’t let you.”

“What do you mean?” Ryu asked. The first glimmer of hope awoke in his heart like an ember in a dieing fire.

“I must perform a ritual to purge the curse from your body.” Bayonetta said. “Your name is Ryu Hayabusa?”

“Yes.” Ryu nodded.

“Hold on tight, Ryu Hayabusa.” Bayonetta smiled. “I haven’t done this for centuries, and I may be a tad rusty. It might get a little rough.”

The witch raised her hands in the air and her hair once again spooled out around her and down into the ground. The enchanted strands burst up around Ryu, wrapping around his wrists and ankles, and pulled him down flat on his back on the grassy meadow. Ryu resisted the urge to struggle, knowing that he had little time left before the curse took him completely. Then he looked up at Bayonetta and all other thoughts left his mind.

Bayonetta strode toward him completely naked, her hair streaming like a fountain from her head down behind her into the grass. She was truly glorious to behold. Her shapely hips swiveled alluringly as she approached. Her magnificent breasts swayed freely in the warm breeze, her pale flesh glowing in the sunlight. She moved with sensual perfection, all too aware of her body’s beauty. She reached up and adjusted her glasses casually.

“You want to touch me?” She asked with a wink.

With a flick of her wrist, her enchanted hair tore Ryu’s ninja garb away from his body. Bayonetta licked her lips, gazing down Ryu’s perfectly toned physique, studying the pulsating veins of demonic energy under his skin. Her gaze traveled down to his loins, and her eyes grew wide as she saw his manhood rise up.

Ryu’s cock throbbed with energy, bright blue veins pulsating along the thick shaft. His testicles glowed brightly as unknowable forces brewed within. Bayonetta moved over him, sitting down on Ryu’s thighs. Her feet rested on either side of his chest, pistols still strapped to her now bare feet. She reached down and grasped his hard length of flesh.

“Uuunnhhh!” Ryu groaned as he felt a woman’s hand wrap around his cock for the first time in what seemed an eternity.

“You certainly aren’t a Lumen Sage.” Bayonetta grinned as she studied Ryu’s erect member, running her fingers along the long shaft with tantalizing delicacy. “None of them ever had such an impressive… magic wand, shall we say?”

“The curse…I cannot fight it any longer!” Ryu grimaced as he felt his body beginning to change from within.

“Then stop trying.” Bayonetta sighed with disinterest.

“You must kill me now!” Ryu shouted desperately, his arms and feet straining against the magic restraints holding him down.

“Oh, I have much better plans in store for you.” She licked her lips as her thumb began circling the tip of Ryu’s engorged rod. “This wand of yours has worked magic on many, many women. You’ve been a very, very naughty ninja!”

Ryu looked at Bayonetta with glowing red eyes, silently pleading for her to end his life while it was still his own.

“This pierced many formidable women. Three fellow ninjas…” Bayonetta caressed Ryu’s cock, carefully examining its every contour. Her eyes seemed to see into the past as she continued. “An assassin… a warrior…an heiress… athletes, musicians, a teacher… all these women are dear to you. They have borne three fruits from these lovely loins.”

“No…two.” Ryu shook his head.

“Don’t let me spoil things.” Bayonetta shrugged. “But there is one woman…ahhh… there it is. The one woman who last rode this staff… you despise her. It was she who inflicted this curse upon you.”

“Y-yes!” Ryu nodded, his voice growing darker.

“Then let the ritual begin.” Bayonetta purred in a low, sultry voice.

She raised herself over Ryu’s throbbing manhood, grasping it gently in one hand as she brought her glistening nether lips over the glowing tip. Ryu’s eyes grew wide as he realized what Bayonetta was about to do. He opened his mouth to beg her to stop, but he only let out a demonic growl.

“Bad… boy….” Bayonetta cooed as she lowered herself, sinking down over Ryu’s hard shaft. The witch’s eyes fluttered behind her glasses as she felt the ninja’s cock fill her. His thick member was the first to part the witch’s nether lips in centuries. “Ooooo…my.... It’s been so…so long! And this cock of yours is so…so BIG!”

Ryu’s back arched off the ground as he felt Bayonetta’s hot flesh wrap around his pulsating manhood, surrounding him in what felt like the fiery pits of the underworld itself. But there was no agony, only the limitless pleasure that permeated his loins as Bayonetta began churning her hips, grinding against him. His cock stirred inside her, tilting this way and that as she moved with effortless grace. Ryu’s hips bucked up, instinctually driving his cock deeper inside the witch’s hot sheath.

“Looks like…aaaahh…I still got it!” Bayonetta smiled with satisfaction, looking down over her generous breasts, the twin orbs heaving with each quickening breath. She twisted her hips, drawing another feral growl from Ryu’s blue lips. “Let go, Ryu Hayabusa. Mmmm…let it all go!”

As Bayonetta’s hot flesh pumped his hard cock, Ryu felt his willpower fail. With a final defiant shudder, Ryu relented. The darkness overcame him, and Ryu Hayabusa was gone.

“Rrraaaarrrghhh!!!” The Fiend roared to life beneath Bayonetta, red eyes glaring up at her with sinister intent.

The grass around them wilted and died. A wave of death flowed over the meadow, turning the entire area into a brown wasteland as the Fiend’s power grew.

“Finally!” Bayonetta exclaimed. She shivered slightly as the thick length of flesh inside her twisted and changed into a crooked mockery of a phallus. Her right hand sliced through the air, striking the Fiend hard across its glowing blue face. “Listen up, Fiend! I am Bayonetta, Umbra Witch! Declare yourself to me!”

“Uyr!” The Fiend growled its name, baring razor sharp teeth in a devilish grin. Its voice was as dark as death itself. “And I shall enjoy devouring your soul! Who are you to challenge me!?”

“Uyr, is it?” Bayonetta nodded. The witch contracted her inner muscles, squeezing down on the Fiend’s hard, distorted cock inside her.

“Hhhhaaaarrghh!” Uyr hissed in agony as the most detestable sensation flowed through its loins: pleasure.

“That is who I am.” Bayonetta leered. “Do I have your attention?”

Uyr nodded, glaring malevolently up at the witch.

“As a steward of the forces of darkness, I shall send you back to hell!” Bayonetta declared boldly.

“This ninja’s body is MINE!” Uyr roared, straining against the magic bindings around its wrists.

“I don’t think so!” Bayonetta shook her head. “I’m going to pound you out of him!”

Bayonetta began bouncing atop the Fiend’s enormous knotted shaft, tossing her flowing black hair about as she rode the demon with fluid precision. With a flick of her head, the magic restraints vanished from the Fiend’s hands. The Fiend quickly reached for Bayonetta’s slender neck, but the witch caught the Fiend’s wrists in her hands and pinned them back down to the ground on either side of the Fiend’s head. She leaned down over the demon, gazing into its glowing red eyes.

“You have no power over me, Fiend.” Bayonetta sneered down at the Fiend. She began grinding down hard into Uyr’s groin, riding the Fiend’s dark twisted rod wildly. “Aaaaaaghhh! Prepare to leave this world once and for all!”

“Rraaargh! Gggraaarghhh!” The Fiend bellowed futilely as the witch pummeled its hard member mercilessly. A burning power began to swell within the demon’s loins. Uyr shook its head in terror.

“That’s right Fiend!” Bayonetta nodded, her breasts jiggling wildly as she continued riding the demon faster by the second. The gnarled cock inside her was monstrous and her body had been denied sex for far too long. “You can sense it! Feel this power! Come forth, Ryu Hayabusa! Reclaim what is yours!”

Uyr began to spasm as an unbearable sensation flowed up through its body. The purity of ecstasy burned its very being, forcing it to retreat. The Fiend’s body started to glow brightly as it struggled to maintain its hold.

“Come, Ryu Hayabusa!” Bayonetta moaned, feeling her own climax beginning to blossom within her sex-starved body. “Come for me! COME!”

The Fiend Uyr exploded in a shower of light.

“By the Ancestors!” Ryu Hayabusa gasped in a very human voice. He was overcome with confusion, but Bayonetta’s demanding hips quickly dominated his attention. He did not have to think; his body knew what was needed. “Aaaaaah!!!”

Ryu’s hips bucked up, slamming his perfectly formed cock up, plunging deep into Bayonetta’s tight vessel before erupting with a deluge of his hot seed.

“That’s it! Uuuuuunngghhhh!!!” The Umbra Witch arched her back in ecstasy as her orgasm washed through her, intensified by the liquid heat of Ryu’s climax flow into her depths. Her glasses slid down to the tip of her nose as she began shaking uncontrollably.

A new magic sprang to life inside Bayonetta as she came. Ryu’s entire life poured into her as they both shook as one in orgasm. More than twenty years of battle, meditation, love and hate filled her mind in a matter of moments. In the span of a few seconds, she knew Ryu Hayabusa as well as she knew her self.

The grass around them sprang back to life, and new flowers burst from the ground in an explosion of color. The entire meadow became a veritable paradise. The air began to smell of the most wondrous aromas while the last spasms rocked the bodies of the witch and the ninja.

“Ba…Bayonetta.” Ryu gasped for breath, his clear green eyes looking up at Bayonetta’s angular bespectacled face with unspeakable gratitude.

“You are cleansed, Ryu.” Bayonetta smiled down at him, her breasts brushing against Ryu’s chiseled pectorals. Then she released his wrists and dismounted him. Her enchanted hair flowed down over her body, solidifying into dark skin-tight fabric. “Now you must return to your world. You have a lot of work to do before we do this again.”

“We will meet again?” Ryu asked even as he felt a portal open beneath him.

“Oh yes, Ryu Hayabusa.” Bayonetta grinned slyly, turning to strut away. She spoke over her shoulder. “We most certainly will. Oh, we’ll have so much fun! Ta-tah, now!”

Ryu’s eyes gazed at Bayonetta’s captivating buttocks unblinkingly even as the world twirled into a blur once again. He knew he would see it again, but that it could not be soon enough.
