The Amazon and the Fairy

“I said I was sorry!” Yugi pleaded over Nao’s cell phone.

“Yugi, you lied to me.”

“I said problem I never specified which.”

“Fucking loophole,” The girl grumbled, “You’re a bitch you know that?”

“I’m really sorry,” Yugi said softly with sincerity, “Are you really mad at me?”

Nao shook her head and sighed, “I can’t be mad at you…You’re way too cute, but I want to know why.”

“You need more than just sex…you’re lonely Nao. You won’t admit it but I can see it in your eyes.” At this Nao let out a noise of disagreement. “Besides…I think Shizuka would be a great match for your…explosive personality.”

“Heh, can’t stay out of people’s business eh?” Nao chuckled at her friend’s antics, “Does Shizuka know about your little theory?”

“Well…no….”

“Yugi, call me crazy but she maybe straight.”

“Well…I don’t know for sure what she is. I mean your gay radar isn’t that accurate. If I had a dollar for every straight girl you’ve hit on.”

“Oh shut up. It’s like what two out of three now?” She began rubbing the side of her face with her right hand, “Point being is how hell am I supposed to control myself around her? I’ll want to jump into her pants when I see her!”

“She’s more than just a pretty face Nao…You’ll see…” Yugi said softly berating her.

“That still doesn’t help the fact that I want to screw her…I just don’t want to do something I’ll regret later.”

It was Yugi’s turn to sigh, “You won’t. You have more self control than you realize or else you would’ve jumped some random poor girl already.”

“I guess…” Nao glanced at her watch, “Yugi, I gotta go. Shizuka is going to be here any minute.”

“Alright,” She could feel Yugi grinning through the phone, “Have fun on your date!”

“Fuck you.”

The anxious girl snapped the phone closed and tossed it into her bag without a second thought. Instead of buying a caffeinated beverage at the local café Nao was supposed to meet Shizuka at she bought some hot chocolate. The Goth was already a nervous wreck as is and last thing she needed to be was shaking with nervousness in front of her dream girl.

Nao cradled her hot chocolate against her chest thanking every god that existed for the creation of such sweet drink that was calming her nerves even though it wasn’t by much. She raised a toast to the omnipotent beings and took a big sip.

“Hello Nao…” Shizuka smiled shyly as she approached from behind.

“Ack!” The startled girl began to cough violently from having her sugary chocolate going down her windpipe.

“I’m so sorry!” The shy girl patted Nao’s back in hopes of clearing her throat.

Nao waved her to go sit down instead as she struggled to regain control of her breathing. Reluctantly Shizuka took the seat across from the coughing girl and continued to look at her with concern. After a minute Nao stopped coughing and glanced at her table mate who immediately stopped breathing when she realized what Shizuka was wearing. It consisted of a form fitting white button shirt which one could make out a pink bra, if one stared at chest area long enough, through the fabric and tight navy jeans that clung to her slim hips.

“Are you okay?” Shizuka cocked her head to side and asked.

Nao tore her eyes away from the alluring girl her voice went up a pitch or two too high, “Yeah, I’m alright.”

“What are you drinking?” She leaned over the table trying to take a peek of what was in the paper cup.

Nao couldn’t help but look at Shizuka’s breasts again which were now in clear view through the collar of the leaning girl’s shirt, “It’s…” Nao gulped trying to form words with her lust filled brain, “a white chocolate with raspberry syrup.”

“How does it taste?”

“Try it,” Nao pushed her cup to the other side of the table hoping that Shizuka would sit back down properly in her chair.

Shizuka lifted the cup to her pink lips and sipped, “Hmm I think I’ll go get one. I’ll be right back.”

Her eyes followed Shizuka lithe form to the cash register, “Hmm…Goddammit!” Nao put her head into her hands and said in a muffled voice to no one in particular, “What did I do to deserve this?”

“Nao, are you feeling okay?”

Nao raised her head and smiled at the girl, “I’m okay.” She noticed a scone next to Shizuka’s drink on the table.

Shizuka smiled broadly like a child who just got a star sticker on her paper, “The cashier was nice and gave me the raspberry scone for free when I asked about the different pastries they have here.”

In a jealous rage she turned around to see the cashier who was grinning and waving at Shizuka. When the cashier turned to Nao, whose nostrils flared and bared her teeth in aggression, he abruptly turned back to the next customer. Satisfied with his reaction Nao turned back to the lamb in front of her.

“Shizuka,” Nao placed her cup on the table and upon her face was a serious expression.

“Yes?”

“Is the record companies the only reason you want to be more assertive?” Nao questioned, “The reason I ask this is because unless you yourself don’t want to be a shy pushover any more then I can’t help you.”

“You think I’m a pushover?” The timid girl’s eyes widened in surprise.

Nao placed her elbows on the table her fingers intertwining with each other, “Yeah, if what happened at the club was any indication. Geez with your attitude it makes ya look like you want to be hit on by drunken guys.”

Shizuka stared quietly into her drink. She seemed to be lost in her own little world contemplating the words that her companion just said. Nao could see the gears turning in her head as she was mulling them over. Suddenly her eyes began to fill with tears! Nao panicked and leaned forward and taking one of her delicate hands into her own. The tears leapt out of the poor girl’s eyes and down her cheeks. Nao frantically handed her a napkin and stuttered a long stream of apologies.

“Oh c’mon did I say something wrong?” Nao continued her apology train, “Look I’m really sorry I said that. It’s just like me to say something like that you know? Nao get it? Ha ha? I mean I didn’t it that way…”

Shizuka gazed at her as if the woman across from her had grown another head, but Nao didn’t notice the tears had stopped. She just went on and on with her apology explanation type of thing.

“Actually I think I did mean it that way, but I…dammit,” Nao paused and took a deep breath, “Listen sometimes I speak before I think and that has gotten me in trouble more times than Britney Spears has had sex! Okay that was a bad analogy. I’m really really sorry and…”

“You can stop now,” Shizuka interrupted the apprehensive girl, “I think I understand…”

Nao glanced up and found herself lost in those beautiful green eyes, “You do?”

“It’s just…I’ve always had Jou, the rest of the band….and Yugi there to help me,” Shizuka took a sip of her chocolate before continuing so she could concentrate on the sweetness of the drink in order to calm her nerves, “I guess I never really had to…”

“Be aggressive? Stand up for yourself? You just let people do it for you because it was easier. Hell I bet people don’t even listen to you sometimes because of your little soft voice,” Nao immediately slapped her hand over her mouth, “I’m so fucking sorry…”

“It’s true,” Shizuka offered her companion a weak smile, but when the smile was lost on the Goth. The shy girl bowed her head in defeat, “Yugi mentioned that you were to put it delicately…blunt.”

Nao gulped the rest of her chocolate before slamming the paper cup on the table, “It’s a gift,” She said sarcastically as she leaned back, crossed her legs, and closed her eyes deep in thought.

A few uncomfortable seconds passed between them. “What do you think I should?” Shizuka asked hesitantly raising her eyes from the table to meet Nao’s.

Without changing her position Nao calmly said, “Look I can’t tell you what to do. If you don’t want to be a pushover anymore I can help you, but only if you yourself want it.”

“I want it…” She said her voice almost cracking, “I hate how they look at me. I hate being weak and how no one listens. I know they don’t mean it but…And…me…I…”

Nao stood up quietly, “Glad you didn’t waste my time,” She smiled at Shizuka, “You brought some gym clothes like I asked right?”

The confused girl nodded and pointed to a small bag at her feet. Nao motioned for the girl to follow her and they both started walking out of the café.

“Nao? Where are we going?”

“You’ll see…”

……………………………
Their destination was not where Shizuka had expected. At the end of their journey they arrived at a small gym called “Ganbatte”. The shy girl threw Nao a confused look which she ignored and continued through the glass doors. The lamb followed close after in fear of being left behind. Nao stopped at the front desk where a blue haired girl with a dragon tattoo on the top portion of her chest was working currently. In her ears she had four piercings each that lined the mid rim to the bottom of her ear and on her lower lip she had two silver rings that made it look she had viper fangs.

“Nao,” The receptionist greeted happily, “what’s up girl?”

“Nothing much Keiko,” Nao replied casually giving her a blue plastic a card from her wallet, “Busy today?”

“Nope,” Keiko said checking out Shizuka, who shied away from her, “What’s your name cutie?”

Shizuka bowed politely towards the receptionist, “I’m Shizuka…”

“Hmmm Shizuka,” Keiko licked her blue painted lips as she tasted the name, “Pretty name for such a pretty girl.”

The brunette girl blushed while Nao groaned at the cheesy line, “I’ll be on down the hall if you need me Keiko. Let’s go Shizuka we have a lot of work today.”

“Okay Nao!” Keiko turned to her attention back to Shizuka and winked flirtatiously, “Call me if you need anything sugar. Nao has been known to be a little too rough on her workout buddies.”

“Alright sure,” The bashful girl back pedaled from the desk for a few seconds before turning around and trotting over to Nao.

For a while they walked in silence until they reached the locker rooms. Only the creaking from the door and the sound of steps on the tiles were noises that were heard. Nao sat on the bench, plopped her gym bag next to her, and started rummaging around for her pants and tank top. Taking this as a signal to change Shizuka did the same with her backpack.

While she did that Nao took off all of her piercings and placed then in a velvet bag. Shizuka watched as the Goth’s face metal was taken off. It was amazing what a few rings on one’s face could do. When Shizuka first met Nao, she thought she was very intimating with her dark clothing, tattoo, and all her piercings, but now with all of them off she didn’t look as scary. Fact of the matter is now she looked much gentler.

“I’m sorry about Keiko,” Nao sighed finally breaking the silence and Shizuka’s train of thought, “She can be a little too flirtatious sometimes and I understand if that made you uncomfortable.”

“It’s okay,” The younger girl mumbled as she took off her jeans.

“You shouldn’t take things…” Nao raised her head and found herself staring at an underwear clad Shizuka.

A lump formed in Nao’s throat which was swallowed audibly but Shizuka didn’t seem to notice. Shizuka’s skin was a cream color tone which was free from blemishes or scars. The sight of such skin on such a stunning girl made Nao’s mouth go dry like the Sahara. The urge was too great and the lusting young woman found herself reaching out for such perfect skin while the other’s back was turned.

“Nao?” It was Shizuka’s voice that broke the stillness this time.

“Ack!” Nao quickly retracted her hand and shook her head to hopefully empty out all of the thoughts she had accumulated at that moment.

“Is something wrong?” Shizuka asked with concerned stepping towards the startled girl clad in a t-shirt and bikini style panties.

“No no no,” Nao shouted in an excited manner waving her arms about, “nothing is wrong. Everything is awesome.”

The oblivious girl raised her eyebrows at the reaction and promptly went back to her spot to put on her bike shorts. “If you say so…”

“Note to self need cold shower after this session,” Nao thought as she walked out the locker room with Shizuka close behind.

The next room they found themselves in was a large studio with a mat and mirrors lining the entire room. Shizuka’s eyes however fell on the punching bag that was situated on the other side. She spun around to Nao who was tying her long black and blue hair in a tight ponytail.

“Idon’tlikefighting,” Were the words that were blurted from her lips.

“Huh?” Nao blinked and stared at the other girl in surprise, “What?”

“I don’t like violence,” Shizuka muttered as she slid down onto the waxed floor, “I don’t like seeing people get hurt. I don’t want to learn how to hurt people.”

“Why do you think I’m going to teach you how to fight?”

The pacifist pointed to the punching bag and Nao sighed, “This gym caters to martial artists so there’s like one of those in almost every single room.”

“So you’re not going to teach me to fight?” She hugged her knees to her chest and looked up at Nao with her bright eyes.

“No exactly...” The Goth squatted down and met Shizuka’s eyes, “Remember how you were moving on stage?”

“Yes, I remember.”

“It was pretty bad,” Shizuka flinched at those words, but Nao continued, “I also noticed your posture at the bar when that guy hit on you.”

“My posture?”

“You cowered,” Nao closed her eyes in order bring up the image of Shizuka the night they met, “if I had poked you with minimal effort I could’ve knocked you over. The same goes for what you were doing on stage. You didn’t flow.”

“I still don’t understand what you’re trying to do bringing me here.”

“I’m going to first teach you some forms,” Nao explained as she got back up, “In kung fu we have forms kind of like katas in karate. A form looks like a dance but it’s not. It’s a series of prearranged offensive and defensive techniques that could hurt someone. In order to do well in forms you have to have a strong body as well as a strong mind.”

“Strong body I can understand, but strong mind?”

“It’s kind of hard to explain…You see while doing a form I feel that one has to have total confidence they are doing it right,” Nao explained, “It’s kind of like ‘think you’re a mountain’ stuff. To be heavy you must think you’re heavy. Do you understand?”

“A little.”

“I’ll show you what I mean and maybe then you’ll understand,” Nao walked to the middle of the room, “You can sit down if you want.”

Shizuka sat down quietly and in a soft voice Nao said as she began, “Tiger Crane Form.”

The Goth girl closed a deep breath releasing all the stress that had accumulated from the past week. First she pressed her hands together as if she were praying to some unknown deity. After she was done praying she cracked her back and began.

Her movements were perfectly executed one technique after another. Each movement was done in total confidence. There weren’t any hesitation or pauses. Every now and then Shizuka would gasp when Nao performed a particularly difficult maneuver, but it seemed like the martial artist was so caught up in her form that she barely took notice. The musician could hear a loud current of air made every time Nao used a decent portion of her strength to “strike”. She noticed that even though she executed hard powerful moves they were presented in a manner which could be described as soft and agile. It was hard to explain it in words, but it was there right in front of her. No wonder she was a great dancer, compared to what she was showing Shizuka that routine at the club was nothing!

After five minutes Nao ended her form with a slight bow and turned to the thunderstruck girl, “Does that explain why I want to teach you?”

“Not really,” Shizuka replied honestly.

Nao walked over and sat next to Shizuka, “I want you to be like me when I dance or do a form. I want your stage presence to ooze out confidence. You probably didn’t notice but I did make a few mistakes.”

“They didn’t look like mistakes.”

“Exactly I made it looked like it was part of the form instead of correcting myself. Usually I don’t do that but I did it to make a point,” Nao leaned back against the wall as she closed her eyes, “I have a near photographic memory if you can’t tell already. You made two mistakes during your set the other night. There weren’t noticeable if you were able to play them off.”

“Yeah…” Shizuka’s eyes became fixated on Nao when she noticed a bead of sweat that had formed on her tan skin.

The dark haired girl stood up, “Well we better get started. Today I’m going to teach you the salute and first form. After that I will teach you how to strengthen your fist.”

Her explanations were greeted with confused looks.

“Er sorry…I suppose it would be better to explain to you exactly when I’m teaching you before forcing your brain to learn this,” Nao sheepishly smiled as she scratched the back of her head, “You should stretch while I explain.”

Shizuka plopped back down onto the waxed hard wood floor and began stretching by trying to reach her toes.

“Hung Gar is a southern style of kung fu which specializes in close combat. It was taught to patriots in China and was popular because it could be taught quicker than other forms of kung fu. Another reason why it’s popular and my personal reason for learning was that students are guided with the firm belief to do what is morally correct.”

Shizuka raised her hand, “But it’s still fighting…”

“To you it may be fighting but to some people it’s an art form kind of like your music,” Nao answered, “You don’t necessarily need to use kung fu just to fight. I mean I like a good spar, but not everyone that practices do.”

“Oh,” The quiet girl lied on her back sticking her feet as high as she could in the air.
Nao paused to glance at her student’s well toned tush and then snapped back to reality, “We use five animals. The dragon gives us bold internal power and spirit. Soft and internal, the snake has a smart deceptive nature and can easily change from one move to another. The tiger emits courage and strength. The leopard represents speed and dangerous power. The crane teaches alertness, agility, active spirit, and balance. Questions so far?”

Shizuka shook her head and stood up. She reached with her right hand to her back and grabbed her left foot tugging it a bit. Once again the perverted minded girl stopped her lesson to look at Shizuka’s well toned legs. While she was still staring two little people one on each shoulder began to quarrel. The angel was in a long while robe with a glowing halo and staff while the devil was in a full length red leather body suit with a sword and horns.

“Stop it!” Nao’s moral and clean angel berated, “How dare you do this?!”

“It’s not like she is doing it on purpose, but she can’t help herself,” Nao’s devil side retorted, “There in front of us is a beautiful girl whose features could put any story book princess to shame. Not my fault our girl hasn’t gotten some in a while…actually that could be your fault seeing that we can just go to a bar and pick someone up.”

“Oh yeah? Your ideas are wonderful…just like that time we picked a fight with those three motorcycle guys!” Angel Nao screamed in anger.

“Tch, we had help. Besides nothing bad happened, they’re the ones who made fun of our tattoo. They got what was coming.”

“We had to get 3 stitches!” Angel Nao launched herself at Devil Nao and attempted to beat her with her giant stick.

“Shut the fuck up!” Nao screeched in thought fury, “Go the fuck away!”

“Nao?” Shizuka momentarily stopped her stretching and looked up unknowingly at her teacher, “Are you okay?”

“Yes yes I’m fine why do you ask?”

“I don’t know you seemed to be scowling…”

“Nah I’m good…anyway continuing,” Nao coughed and thumped her chest a few times before reciting her mental notes, “Most of the things I will teach you will be snake and crane because dragon, tiger, and leopard require more strength. If you like what I teach maybe someday I’ll teach you those. So that’s about it you can probably find more stuff on the net if you curious. Questions?”

“I cannot think of any.”

“Let’s begin.”

For the next hour they worked on the salute and first form. This was the most painstakingly long and frustrating session Nao has ever taught. Not only was Shizuka near hopeless, but…you’ll see…

“I don’t know what I’m doing wrong,” Shizuka sighed. It was hard and the shy girl was getting impatient after not being able to do even the simple form properly.

“You’re stance is really off,” Nao walked behind the depressed girl and pressed her body lightly against hers, “You’re also really tense. Try to relax.”

The teacher mentally groaned as she placed her hands on her student’s shoulders and massaged them gently. Even the slightest tough drove her insane. The timid girl could feel Nao’s hot breath on her neck causing her to shudder slightly. The tingly feel felt good. When Nao felt some of the tension dissipate she moved her hands along Shizuka’s arms positioning them correctly then she used her own feet to nudge hers into the right places.

Nao moved her mouth to Shizuka’s ear and whispered in a low husky tone, “Like this…is this uncomfortable?”

Shizuka shook her head as she tried to concentrate on her stance instead of the sexy voice, “I’m okay. I didn’t know my legs had to be this far apart it kind of hurts.” She held back a whimper in her throat.

“So warm…Why is she so warm? She smells like…sage and lavender. Is it her natural scent or a cream? My God, this is so wrong,” Nao’s hands rest upon Shizuka’s soft supple skin as she thought, “No, I can’t take advantage of her.”

“Do they have to be this far apart?” Her shaky voice brought the lusting girl out of her thoughts.

“Yes,” Wetness began to form in between Nao’s legs as she continued to guide the guitarist’s movements, “Learning to hold the horse stance is one of the basics.”

“I want her…I want her…I have to stop his now before…” Nao forced her own body to move away from her warmth placing her back into harsh cold reality. “We should be done for the day…Just practice and we’ll see how you progress.”

Shizuka appeared very insecure of herself, “Are you sure I shouldn’t train with you more?”

“Lesson one, my dear,” Nao placed her hands on her shoulders and gave them a light reassuring squeeze, “Place you faith in the movements you do. That is something else I want you to take home with you.”

“But…”

Shizuka found calloused fingertips on her lips causing her to shush up immediately. She looked up and found herself staring into her teacher’s eyes. Shizuka had always thought that brown was a dull color for eyes especially since most people had them. Nao’s eyes were different there was something there a feeling she couldn’t describe, but it was…being restrained. This confused the musician immensely. Before Shizuka could make further observations Nao turned away to get her towel which was hanging off a nearby wall.

“So what are you doing after?” Nao asked as she toweled herself off.

“I have band practice,” Shizuka replied as she did the same, “Nii-san is picking me up…would you like a ride also?”

“No thanks,” The Goth began heading towards the punching bag, “I’m gonna train a bit longer.”

“Okay…so I guess I’ll see you later?”

“Yup.”

Shizuka was about to head out the door when a thought crossed her mind, “Nao?”

Nao looked up from the punching bag to the hesitant girl, “Yes?”

“Thank you…you don’t know how much you helping…I really appreciate this.”

The Goth froze for a second taking in what she just said, “I’m happy to help someone like you,” Nao replied in a gentle voice, “How could I not be?” The fighter felt a smile form on her lips.

Shizuka could feel the heat rising up from her neck to her face. There was surely a blush darkening there. The girl waved goodbye to her teacher quickly and scurried out of the room to the lockers before anyone could see her. Keiko, who was walking by, winked at the flustered girl. Shizuka’s eyes widened and her already noticeable blush was spreading even further. Unable to control her color she ducked quickly into the locker room to change and to attempt to regain control.

Keiko smiled wickedly as she made her way over to Nao’s studio. She slandered up to the door and turned the knob meticulously slow in order to reduce noise. Inside she found the martial artist mercilessly pounding away at the punching. Yet each blow was precisely calculated instead of just wildly hitting random spots. This is what Keiko liked about the fellow tattooed girl, she was like a loose cannon with her temper but in reality she was a warrior. It was a thrill to seduce and fuck someone that could easily turn around and kill you. Call it strange but that is the way Keiko play. The receptionist tip-toed quietly to the fighting girl who was resting from the onslaught she laid on the unfortunate punching bag.

“Looks like you two had fun,” Keiko remarked as she placed her hand on Nao’s sweaty shoulders, “I wouldn’t mind some too.”

“Keiko,” Nao said in a calm voice as she turned around, “I’m not really in the mood.”

“Hmm,” Keiko’s lips touched the other’s neck her pierced tongue sampling Nao’s skin, “A little salty not that I mind.” She pulled her hips to hers and grinded.

“Keiko…” Nao stiffen and growled, “I’m warning you, stop this.”

The temptress pouted as her hands wandered under the sweaty girl’s tank top, “Just a quickie….”

“Just because we had a one night stand because I was drunk off my ass doesn’t me I want you again.”

The blue haired girl moved her lips to the other’s ear and licked the outer lobe gently reawakening the wetness in between Nao’s legs. Momentarily her resolve crumbled and Nao’s hands made her way to Keiko’s ample chest. The seductress put her in face into the other’s warm neck and smiled a cat-like smile. She had broken Nao’s control. The girl moaned deliciously as she felt her breasts being massaged roughly and gasped in surprised as Nao’s fingers slipped under her bra and began teasing her nipples to hard peaks. Keiko craned her neck allowing Nao to use her tongue lapping the soft pale surface of her skin her senses were assaulted with overwhelming pleasure. In turn the siren trailed hands down the dark haired girl’s stomach tracing her light treasure line. Nao raised her hand to turn Keiko’s face to meet hers, but instead of Keiko’s face her mind had replaced it with Shizuka’s.

“No no no no!” Something in the back of the girl’s mind roared.

Nao violently pushed Keiko away with such force that she fell on the floor. Confused Keiko looked up to find an extremely angry Goth clenching her fists so tightly she thought the athletic tape around her knuckles would rip. Knowing that she would not get her way she dusted herself up and headed towards the door trying one more time to capture the others attention by putting an extra sway in her hips but it didn’t work.
“I guess I won’t get what I want here…maybe that little kitten in the locker room will give me something.”

A loud current of wind was the only warning Keiko received before she found her head slammed against the door with a loud thud. When her ears stopped ringing she found the door closed and her back pressed onto it. Increased pressure was applied to her neck when she tried to struggle out of the other’s grip. Keiko was also a martial artist herself in taekwondo, but she wasn’t as skilled or as strong as attacker. Nao could kill her if she wanted to…

“Alright listen slut you lay one fucking finger on Shizuka and I’ll break every fucking bone in your body,” Nao snarled as she wrapped her fingers around her throat even harder, “Are we clear?”

“Crystal,” Keiko choked out.

When Keiko left the room Nao wearily sank to the floor sitting here for a few minutes. She sighed as she brought her legs into lotus position her back straight and eyes closed, then concentrated only on her own breathing in order to regain her control again.
Keiko had settled back at her desk and began to work on some schedules to take her mind off of her aching throat. One of these days her libido was going to get her killed either from exhaustion or murder. It was at that instant Shizuka walked out from the locker room giving Keiko a nervous look, but the girl didn’t notice already too absorbed in work.

“Bye Keiko,” Shizuka offered the girl a small wave as she walked towards the door.

Keiko nodded and continued on with the documents in front of her. As Shizuka walked away the building she glanced back over her shoulder. She had expected her to flirt with her but was surprised when she didn’t.

“What happened to her?” Shizuka thought aloud until the honking of a car made her forget.
