I id back on my chair as I held two halves of a leaf together, slowly trying to channel mana then focusing it into magic. My eyes focused on the leaf as my fingers glowed a light blueish color, that slowly turned a deep muddy color. I thought I almost had it as the split between the leaf was slowly closing almost like watching a ser cutter in reverse. A soft brown light slowly moved down the gap, closing it together. I was doing it! I was mastering the healing magic! It won’t blow up! The leaf started to swell.

  Wait-wait-wait-wait!

  It just swelled more and more faster like it was a balloon reaching its limits, turning an almost transparent and veiny green leaf. I shot up to my feet and tried to rush for the bathroom, just inches from the sink when.

  *POP*

  The leaf exploded, sending a small spray of green leafy goop around my face. I stood there staring at my now dyed hands, coated in pieces of leaf and its green goopy gunk. My fingers slowly tightened into shaking cws, just barely fighting back the urge to stab them into my palms. I swung my hands down as a deep growl escaped from my throat.

  “I almost had it!” I shouted before slowly marching to the mirror.

  There, I saw myself painted with little goop. I could only growl more as I saw my hair had somehow gotten most of the gunk in it. Even my horns were coated in it! Hair stuck to almost everything like glue! I reached and pulled some of the more solid stuff out but most still didn't come out.

  “Fucking…crap-stupid magic, the hell is this-” I muttered to myself as I grabbed some clothes from a dresser and walked back into the bathroom. “I have a stupid Oni to worry about-Kathy has her team falling apart-then there’s what the annoying church club is trying to pull.” I grumbled to myself as I pulled my clothes off. The only things getting my attention was my underwear. The dam panties always snaked their way between my ass and tail. And when I pulled it down I saw a clear liquid stretch with them, drawing my attention to my missing dick-I mean woman bits…….is it really that time again?

  Fuck. Me. with a sigh, I turned to the shower, pulling off my sports bra over my head. Feeling my bulbous chest spill out with a small bounce. The damn yellow colored melons sending a shock of excitement from the whole thing, it was like it was happy to be free from the bra. I padded my way into the shower, set it to the hottest temperature and made the water shoot out as a jet. I used the water just like st time to hit my sensitive areas, my chest, tail and thighs. I felt a warmth building up, ready and wanting to flood out my existence into losing myself. Only to become like a pimple that wouldn’t pop, a screw that wouldn’t go in, a dog that didn’t come in, a damn computer not turning on or even a phone loading slower than a snail. It would. Not. COOOOOOMMMMMMEEEE! My body ached, it burned! It cried and moaned! But for some FUCKING reason, I couldn’t!

  It was like a porn vid that took its damn time getting to the reason you clicked on it! Come on! Fuck her like the small girl she is! Pick her up like a teddy bear and take her! Pin her to the wall and taste her smooth skin and those cute lips! Bite her ear and make her squeal! The hot water started to feel amazing as it hit my lower lips. I could feel the girl’s hand as she tried her best to explore her lover’s body. But you have to do more! You have to take her breasts! Like this!

  My free hand reached up and massaged my right tit. Moving my thumb and using my cws to trace cursive words into my smooth and almost silky flesh. The action making my back arch and wings twitch. Then you tie her up with your tail. My own tail wrapped around my leg, squeezing and shifting to change where it shot electricity into me. Then you must tease out her shy nipples that are just almost ready to….. pop……… out. As I envisioned this, my fingers began to rub, press down on and rub my hidden nips. Slowly they popped out with a joyous buzz that oozed its way through my muscles.

  Then you let her pull you over as she tries to take control, her hands exploring and even sending a spike of joy through you…..uhhhhhhh~. She might tickle you but your tail should have control over……..over……ove…..

  “Stop that~!” She squirmed as hands burrowed their way under her blouse.

  “Aaaa-Noooooope~!” Her hands tunneling under her bra and into those soft shining mounds. Squeezing and massaging into her spongy, smooth and sensitive flesh.

  “Wa-wait! I’m no-not….mhmmmmmm~!” sHe tries a winning argument only to be countered by her foe’s tongue invading her lips, feeling her mouth and letting the tailed girl to taste her own defeat. She tries to fight it but in the end, her long tail coils around her partner, some of it sliding into her pant leg. Coiling up and up, massaging and squeezing the soft skin like a living thigh high sock. The tail only continues its adventure before it snakes its way under her cheeks, between her legs and over her moist pussy.

  “Mhmmmm~!!” She moans into the kiss as the tail slithers it way up and back, the ridges on the underside easily pressing open her needy cunt and teasing her little clit. But the girl fights back as she pinches the snake girl’s engorged nipples. Pressing and circling the pulsing buds, each touch burning the girl deeper into ecstasy.

  “AHAAAAAAAAAAHHH~!” She screams, breaking the kiss and giving the cute girl room to nibble and suck on the mia’s neck. She even frees a hand and quickly presses her thumb on the snake girl’s panties, massaging the sensitive pussy underneath.

  “GAHAAAAAAAAAAAAA~!” Steph screamed.“GAHAAAAAAAHAAAAA~!” I almost howled.

  I y there panting on the tiled floor. Everything a blurry mess as my wings and tail twitch, my muscles softly vibrating. I shifted my body only to scream, my muscles tightening again as the jet of water hit my pussy and electrocuting any remaining energy out of me. Shooting huge electrical surges throughout me, dropping me to fall on my side, a twitching mess of wow and whoa.

  It took a few minutes of inching my way away from the jet and a few more explosive surprises before I could eventually come down from my additional highs. But my muscles were too stringy and had a soothing warmth that I couldn’t get off the floor with how shaky my legs felt. All I could do was crawl over to the corner and shield myself with a wing. That felt really nice. My nice warm bnket, always with me. Holding me in this nice wiggling sensation in my body, so much nicer…..

  After a breather, my messy mind finally pieced itself back together. Leaving me with a feeling of regret. How could I do that? My friends aren’t sex objects. Right? But don’t people rub one or a few off to celebrities or that hot rando they saw on the street? My shoulders dropped as I thought about it more. The sad truth was…….cws and strength… I have to be careful. I can’t lose control. I can’t imagine that. I can’t advance on them, on anybody. Unless I end up………………… I moved my cws out of view.

  But…. If…….maybe, I could control myself just enough? Maybe even turn human then I could…. O-or wear protective gloves? Then things might go differently? I mean Steph has been coming on kinda strong an-and Belle’s been staring now and then….

  I took a deep breath to crush any lingering excitement at the idea. I shouldn’t hold those thoughts, they’ll just lead to something worse. Once most of my sensations weren’t… too strong, I hobbled my way to the toilet. Took a seat and slowly changed. Trying my best not to think of that situation. But this damned world just had to be more loose about sex! Just how many things do they need to explore their body?! It doesn’t help that all my friends and cssmates are curious either.

  I could only shake my head as I lumbered out and into the living room where Mom was watching some Tv. I even heard a pot of slowly boiling soup as I passed the kitchen. Mom was watching an anime of what looked like a short office worker and her minotaur coworker. The huge guy had just snagged a camera creep and cratered him into the sidewalk. Mom saw me and patted the open space next to her with a sweet smile.

  I just walked over and plopped myself down and Mom had somehow gotten my tail onto her p. She patted it like it was some cat demanding pats as she watched her show. I sat there and watched with her, every now and then she would giggle at the funny bits or aww at the sugary parts. The couch was so comfy that I even stretched all four of my shoulders into the back cushion. It was nice to just sit back and just turn my head off.

  After another episode, Mom looked over at me and dusted off my tail with a cloth she pulled out of nowhere. That felt nice. So nice that I sunk into the couch more as my tail hugged her p, dragging her closer.

  “Whoa.” She said before chuckling. “So. How is my beautiful and handsome boy?” She asked as she continued to stroke my tail.

  “I’m…okay.” I said with a weary sigh, sounding more like a depressed kid.

  “Yeah? There something on your mind?” She asked.

  I looked at her for what felt like the longest time. I wasn’t sure if it was a good idea to talk about the Oni challenge, the pandemonium with the clubs and what was happening with Kathy’s team. But maybe?

  “I found your book on fighting Oni.” I finally said and she blushed slightly. “I was wondering if you ever beat the Oni you were trying to fight?”

  She rubbed the back of her head as she nervously giggled to herself. “Found that old thing? Hehehe…..” She looked around and leaned to look down the hall. Seeing no one, she turned back to me with a dark look over her eyes like I just found proof she murdered her bully. “That was just a part of my training….if you remember our talk about fairy kindnesses, I uh, wanted to get stronger. And well the fairies weren’t interested in helping me so I went with building strength and technique.” She leaned forward, pressing her folded hands into her chin. “Some might say that I should just accept the limits of my body, there goes that crazy girl or even say I wasn’t getting far. But they were all weak willed!” She jumped to her feet, pushing my tail off her p accidently before looking me in the eyes. “I wouldn’t let my best friend and awesome partner in crime leave me in the dust like I was some jealous fan!” She almost shouted before quickly lowering her voice.

  I raised my hand, almost waving it at her, which got her to pause. “I only wanted to know how your fights with the Oni went like. I don’t mind hearing about your youth though, young you sound pretty fun.” I said with the innocent smile a loving son would give.

  Mom backed up, her cheeks glowing a bright red and her hands trembling. She looked at the hallway like it was an escape route before just dropping her head. “I didn’t have to open up my old scars like that, did I?” she asked with a defeated voice.

  My sweet smile dropped off my face as I lowered my head a little. “No. no you didn’t have to.”

  She nodded. “Yeah, thought so.” With a sigh she sat back down and fixed her hair. “Sorry for that, I thought I burned that bo….. Oh, that’s probably why I can’t find my sophomore yearbook. So fighting Oni?” She said in a more rexed tune.

  “Yeah, I was wondering if you developed some techniques or tactics. What you wrote didn’t mention any that worked.” I said.

  “Weellll… to be honest, the smaller Oni that I fought weren’t the best trained fighters. They were more like street fighters with good stamina and battle instincts.” She shrugged like that wasn’t something cool but just a boring fact. But come on! I mean a street fighter Oni?! That’s gotta be pretty awesome, add in some spiked clothes and you’d have some cool film and anime ideas right there! “They weren’t too hard to out maneuver, I just waited for them to go all in for a grapple or throw a heavy haymaker. Then I’d use that to beat their face, the ruder ones just happened to run their noses into my fist. Then into any metal poles, one even accidentally kissed my boot too.” She said as a smirk grew on her face. “ And if they were coming too fast then I’d jump to the side, hitting their sides, legs or even their shoulders. But it was the trained ones that actually taught me things. They threw fake hits only to sneak in an attack from your blind spot, some even rolled with a hit if it meant they could get closer to punish you. Apparently they somehow learned from a kraken!” Mom shivered at that.

  “Those guys.” She shook her head. “They can block with almost every part of their body and turn it right back at you. So these Oni learned how to do something simir, probably because they can actually take hits. But yeah, one had me backing up into walls with how aggressive they were. Landed a few good hits when I tried to dodge or counter them. One of the first punches I threw was smacked away while they ate my second one, hitting my shoulder.” She patted her left shoulder as she said that.

  “So did you ever figure out how to get around that?” I asked, leaning closer.

  “Yeah, I had to py things way more defensively than I normally would’ve. Just like certain sewing stitches, I had to weave between the attacks and relied more on quick jabs or kicks. Going for the knees, elbows or ribs. Wasn’t as strong as I am now, so had to go for the looser skinned areas.” She said, her voice sounding embarrassed and a little weaker.

  “I see… is there a way to stop an Oni that wants to fight with you?” I asked, hoping for some way to not have to hurt someone. Even if she pissed me off….. I’d still slug her in the face though.

  She tilted her head then looked at me with narrowed eyes but I only raised an eyebrow as if I didn’t know what was wrong. She eventually shrugged. “Well, you are a dragon. Wouldn’t be surprised if an idiot wouldn’t try something. The easiest is to just lose. When the challenger sees you’re not as hot as you look, they’ll leave you alone. As long as you don’t disrespect them then you’ll be fine. They live more for the fight but show disrespect and they won’t leave you alone until you apologize with combat.”

  Great. Just great. I couldn’t lose and I had to know what she knew about Mark. but I had to be careful with shit talking too?! “Uh, what do you mean by disrespecting them? Disrespect in battle, what you said or how you act around them?”

  “Just don’t say or do anything that has to do with their family and you’re good. Though some of the more…. Thick headed ones might get a little pissed if you crush them like nothing.”

  “Thanks Mom. I’ll keep that in mind when a brute tries something.” I said with a small smile. But on the inside I was nervous that I might just piss the blood Oni off enough that I'd have to lose a future unnecessary fight.
