Summary: A female demon who was obsessed with Kirinmaru attacked Midoriko. As a punishment, Midoriko planned to seduce Kirinmaru in front of the demoness to make it jealous.
In the heart of the forest, Priestess Midoriko could feel her spiritual power coursing through the trees. The thick canopy above her head provided the perfect amount of shade as she made her way deeper into the woods. She had been coming to this forest since she was a child. Her father, a skilled warrior, had brought her here to practice her fighting abilities. It was here that she had honed her skills, learning the art of the sword and the bow.
As she moved deeper into the woods, Midoriko could hear the sounds of the forest coming to life. The birds chirped in the trees, while the rustling of leaves underfoot announced the presence of small animals scurrying about. She stopped at a clearing, taking a deep breath as she surveyed her surroundings. In the distance, she could see the outline of the mountain range, towering over the trees.
It was here that she began her training. She drew her sword, taking a deep breath as she began to move through her forms. Each movement was fluid, her body moving with grace and precision that only came from years of training. As she fought, she could feel the energy of the forest flowing through her. It was as if the trees themselves were guiding her movements, helping her to become one with her surroundings.
For hours, she had been concentrating intensely on every move, breath, and strike, fully immersed in the task at hand. In this state of mind, her thoughts were clear, and her senses were sharpened.
Midoriko was startled when she heard a rustling in the bushes, causing her to quickly turn around and place her hand on her sword, prepared for any potential danger. At that moment, the demoness known as Honnari appeared from behind the bushes, her gaze fixed intently on the priestess.
"What are you doing here, Honnari?" The priestess questioned with suspicion in her voice.
As the female demon glared at Midoriko, her rage was palpable. Her eyes were a fiery, blood-red hue that seemed to smolder with fury, and her entire body trembled with anger. It was evident that she was on the brink of attacking the priestess at any moment, her sharp claws and teeth gleaming in the dim light.
The demoness responded with a hiss, "I want you to keep your distance from Kirinmaru. He belongs to me, and I won't allow you to become his wife."
The priestess was taken aback by the sudden remark, as the thought of having any sort of romantic connection with the Beast King had never crossed her mind. From her perspective, Kirinmaru was the enemy who caused harm to the people she was sworn to protect. Making the idea of an affair with him completely impossible.
"I don't understand what you're talking about," she responded, trying to make sense of the female demon's accusation.
With her razor-sharp fangs bared, Honnari snarled at the priestess, "Don't pretend that you don't know what I'm talking about! I've seen the way you look at him, and I know that you like him!"
Midoriko's racing thoughts as she tried to understand what the demoness was saying. She couldn't recall ever giving Kirinmaru any indication that she was interested in him romantically. “As a priestess, I have taken an oath to protect my people from the dangers of demons. I can't marry anyone, including Kirinmaru, and I have no desire to do so."
Taking another step forward, Honnari's eyes narrowed into slits as she spoke with conviction. "I find it hard to believe you. Humans like you, are all the same, constantly desiring things that are not rightfully theirs. But Kirinmaru is mine, and I won't allow anyone to take him away from me."
Honnari was a demon of considerable power and strength, feared by many who had encountered it. Her immense power made it a force to be reckoned with, and its strength was unmatched by most. It was said to possess an otherworldly strength, speed, and endurance, which could make it a formidable opponent for any who dared to challenge it.
But Midoriko was not one to back down from a fight. She was aware of the danger Honnari posed and had prepared herself for the inevitable encounter. She knew that her adversary was not one to be underestimated and that she would need to call upon all her skills and experience to stand any chance of emerging victorious. She was determined to face Honnari head-on, even though she was aware that it would be a difficult and dangerous battle.
"Then I suppose we'll have to settle this another way," Midoriko stated while unsheathing her sword. She couldn't hide her annoyance and rage for the woman any longer. If Honnari likes Kirinmaru, she is his, and she has no interest in their relationship.
Honnari laughed, manifesting her own weapon. "As you wish, priestess. Let's see if you're as good with that sword as you claim to be."
The two charged at each other, their swords clashing in a fierce battle. As they fought, their grunts echoed throughout the forest, and the clash of steel resounded through the trees, each one determined to come out on top. The priestess was getting angrier. She had never been accused of something so outrageous before.
For what seemed like hours, they exchanged blows, neither one gaining the upper hand. Finally, Midoriko saw an opening and struck, her sword finding its mark. Honnari fell to the ground, exhausted and defeated. As she lay there, panting and trying to catch her breath, she couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment and frustration wash over her.
With her strong spiritual abilities, Midoriko was able to quickly build a strong barrier and lock Honnari inside of it. Her action was to imprison the female demon for a few hours as a punishment for its unjust accusation against her.
"You witch! Let me out of here!" Honnari shouted, her eyes flashing with fury. "How dare you imprison me like this!"
Honnari paced back and forth inside her prison of swirling purple energy. Her anger boiled over as she thought about what Midoriko had done to her. With a fierce snarl, she slammed her fist against the barrier. But it was no use, the spiritual power of the priestess was too strong.
"I had no choice. You were causing too much destruction." The shield created by Midoriko served as both a physical and strong barrier, rendering Honnari unable to escape. The demoness was trapped within the confines of the shield, which acted as an impregnable barrier, preventing any external forces from penetrating it.
The priestess made the barrier invisible to anyone passing through the area. Only she was able to see and hear Honarri inside the barrier…
Midoriko was getting ready to leave the forest. She ignored Honnari and was getting ready to leave her there when she heard a rustling sound. This drew her attention. Peering through the trees, she spotted Kirinmaru, who was looking intently at her. She felt uneasy about the way he was staring at her, wondering if he had seen what she had done to Honnari.
The priestess stood firmly, her hand hovering over her weapon as she addressed the imposing figure of the Beast King. "What are you doing here?" she demanded, her voice laced with a hint of courage and defiance. She was prepared to fight Kirinmaru with all her might if he made any sudden movements.
But to her surprise, the expression on Kirinmaru's face shifted from intense gaze to confusion...
Kirinmaru had been searching for Honnari. Two of his allies, Totetsu and Konton, informed him that the demoness intended to attack Midoriko alone. He'd come to the forest to track down and stop Honnari. But as he took in the sight of the priestess standing alone and unharmed, his confusion deepened. He was surprised to find her there and wondered if his allies had misled him.
"I was looking for Honnari," he said, his voice measured and calm. "What brings you to this place, priestess?"
Midoriko cast a glance at him and could tell from his confused expression that he was as clueless as she had suspected. But at this point, she didn't have the time to explain the situation to him. She had to leave the forest as soon as possible.
The priestess had made up her mind to leave Kirinmaru behind without a word, but as she turned to go, a sudden idea struck her. Honnari had underestimated her before, and she was determined to teach the demoness a lesson and mete out another punishment.
With a sly smile on her lips, she made a plan to seduce Kirinmaru. She knew that the demoness was likely watching them right now, and she relished the idea of making Honnari more jealous.
As she turned back to face Kirinmaru, she adopted a sultry tone in her voice. "I’m stuck in the forest," she said, edging closer to him, "I have been practicing my fighting skills here, but I can't find my way home after that... " She fluttered her eyelashes, hoping to make herself as alluring as possible.
Kirinmaru seemed taken aback by her sudden change in demeanor, but Midoriko could see a hint of amusement in his eyes. As she leaned in to whisper something in his ear, she couldn't help but glance at the invisible barrier she had built, knowing that Honnari was watching.
Kirinmaru certainly appeared surprised by Midoriko's sudden shift in behavior. As a demon lord, he was used to being feared and avoided, but Priestess Midoriko was different. She didn't seem afraid of him, and as she spoke to him, he found himself drawn to her. He had offered to help Midoriko find her way back home from the forest. He didn't think twice about it, even though he knew she was his enemy. He was too captivated by her beauty to care about anything else.
Midoriko continued to seduce Kirinmaru. And now, she pretended that her feet were hurt and leaned on him for support, gazing up at him with a sultry look in her eyes. Kirinmaru couldn't resist her any longer. He forgot about everything else and focused all his attention on Midoriko. As he assisted her, she suddenly asked him a question that made his heart skip a beat.
"Have you ever kissed a priestess before?" Midoriko asked, her voice low and alluring.
She realized that her question to the Beast King had further fueled Honnari's jealousy, causing her to feel conflicted about her own emotions. She was aware that her actions, including her seduction of Kirinmaru, were not befitting of a priestess like herself. But despite these reservations, she was determined to seek revenge on Honnari for unjustly accusing her.
Kirinmaru stared at Midoriko, unsure of how to respond to her sudden question. He had always been curious about what it would be like to kiss a priestess, but he had never actually considered acting on that curiosity. "As a demon, I have never had the pleasure of kissing a priestess like you. From what I understand, the mere touch of a man would defile your sacred vows and tarnish the purity you maintain in service to your deity."
Midoriko found herself in a state of an emotional conflict as she struggled to come to terms with the pleasure she was experiencing while conversing with Kirinmaru. Despite her confusion, Midoriko recognized the Beast King’s concern for her well-being, which only added to her internal conflict.
"As a priestess, I am grateful for your concern for my well-being. But what if I'm going to give you permission to kiss me right now? Can you do it?"
The words hung in the air between them, and Midoriko's heart raced as she awaited Kirinmaru's response. She knew that what she was asking was risky. This was different from her initial plan, which was to seduce him and make Honnari jealous! She appears to be unable to make any excuses to the demon lord, and she must stand up and wish herself luck.
Kirinmaru hesitated to speak, uncertain of the priestess' true feelings and motives. He was taken aback that she was not resisting his advances, and wondered if he was misreading the situation.
He could sense a certain tension in the air and felt a palpable unease within himself. The silence between them was heavy, and he struggled to find the words to express his thoughts and feelings. He remained frozen in place, waiting for the priestess to make the next move and hoping that his instincts were leading him in the right direction.
A sudden soft touch on his right cheek from Midoriko distracted him. He felt the coolness of her fingers against his skin, and it sent shivers down his spine. His breath caught in his throat. He had never felt so nervous before, even though he was the powerful demon lord who ruled over the Eastern lands. But there was something about Midoriko that made him feel vulnerable, something that made him want to let down his guard and open himself up to her completely.
Her touch was gentle but electric. As her fingers traced the scales on his cheek, Kirinmaru shivered with anticipation. He had never wanted anything as badly as he wanted to kiss her right then and there. But he hesitated, unsure of what would happen if he gave into his desire.
Midoriko noticed the hint of uncertainty in Kirinmaru's eyes, and she sensed that he was holding back. She decided to take matters into her own hands and spoke to him in a low, sultry voice, "Nobody is watching us. We can do whatever we want…"
With those words, Midoriko reached out and took Kirinmaru's left hand, pressing it firmly against her chest. She watched as Kirinmaru's eyes widened in surprise, his heart racing as he felt the steady beat of her heart beneath his palm. He could feel the heat rising in his body, and he knew that he couldn't resist her any longer.
Midoriko leaned in closer to Kirinmaru. She knew what they were doing was forbidden, but for some reason, she found herself unable to resist the Beast King. "I know you want this."
As she whispered in his ear, her voice heavy with desire, Midoriko made sure to use a tone that was seductive and alluring, playing to Kirinmaru's desires. She knew that Honnari was watching them from behind its prison barrier, and she wanted the demoness to feel the pain of jealousy.
As Kirinmaru's resistance crumbled, he felt a fierce hunger rise within him. He let out a low growl as he pulled Midoriko closer, his hands moving to the small of her back as he kissed her deeply. He found her lips to be delightful to taste; their tenderness and sweet flavor made his spine tingle with excitement.
Midoriko had never experienced a kiss before, but as Kirinmaru's lips met hers, her body instinctively responded. Her back arched, and her hands found their way to his broad shoulders as they deepened their embrace. Despite her lack of experience, Midoriko followed Kirinmaru's lead, allowing him to guide her through the intricacies of kissing. As their lips moved in perfect synchronicity, she found herself lost in the moment, caught up in the heady rush of desire and passion.
The intensity of the moment was overwhelming, and Kirinmaru was lost in a sea of sensations. He felt like he was drowning in Midoriko's beauty, unable to resist the allure of her touch. As they kissed, the world around them seemed to fade away, leaving them lost in a moment of pure passion. His body was on fire, his desire for Midoriko consuming him completely. He pressed himself closer to her, his hands exploring her body as they kissed. He could feel the heat rising between them, a primal force that could not be denied.
Honnari's fury and jealousy burned bright as she glared at Kirinmaru and Midoriko locked in a passionate kiss. Her chest heaved with anger and frustration; her fists clenched tightly at her sides. She seethed with anger and could barely contain herself as she snarled at the priestess. "How dare you! Stay away from him! I will kill you once I get out of here."
Hearing Honnari's frustrated and angry words from behind the prison barrier, Midoriko couldn't help but laugh to herself. She knew that the demoness had an intense obsession with Kirinmaru and couldn't bear to see him with another woman.
Despite Honnari's emotional state, Midoriko was determined to pursue her desire to seduce Kirinmaru. With a fierce determination, she boldly wrapped her arms around his broad shoulders and pulled him closer, feeling her heart race with excitement and longing as their lips met in a passionate embrace once again.
As the kiss between Midoriko and Kirinmaru finally came to an end, the intensity of their connection didn't fade. Instead, Kirinmaru's attention shifted to her neck, and he leaned in to plant kisses and nibbles on the sensitive skin there. Midoriko tilted her head back, exposing even more of her neck to him, and let out a soft moan of pleasure at the sensation. She couldn't resist arching her neck, offering him even more access to her flesh. The feel of his lips on her skin sent shivers of pleasure through her body.
Midoriko knew that Honnari still watching them, and she decided to have a bit of fun with the demoness. She gave Honnari a slight smile as she looked over at the prison barrier. She even went as far as to show a slight lip bite, knowing that it would only fuel Honnari's jealousy and frustration even more. She felt a sense of satisfaction in knowing that her actions were causing the demoness distress.
"Don't mess with me, Honnari. Humans are not as weak and pathetic as you may think. I, Midoriko, disprove your assumptions."
