Apotheosis

A thunderous clash echoed throughout the sky. A large scythe was now suspended in air, blocked from falling by a horizontal halberd held high. With a push from the polearm, the scythe retreated back.

"Burn to ashes," spoke the holder of the scythe as he raised his hand, unleashing a torrent of flames upon the holder of the halberd.

Spinning his halberd, the target of the flames created a whirlwind, scattering the fire to the four winds.

"I fear no man!" shouted the warrior with the halberd as he charged at his foe, bringing his blade down in a swift motion, and locking with the scythe.

"You may not fear any man..." the holder of the scythe hissed, "But even if you are the greatest amongst mortals, you still shall cower before the might of a demon!"

With these words, the holder of the scythe raised the pole of his scythe, hitting the other combatant as though he were using a bo-staff, and knocking the halberd from his hand.

"Not bad, Lu Bu. Your skills are quite formidable, but you are still only human," the holder of the scythe says as he throws the halberd back to its owner, "Again! This time, do not let your eyes leave my blade."

"As you command, Lord Orochi," agreed the mighty warrior.

"Lord Lu Bu! " came a woman's voice, "Please, you and Lord Orochi have been fighting for hours... You should take a break... At least stop for some food."

"I'm fine! Look at me Chan, not a scratch!" Lu Bu laughed, "C'mon! I haven't had this much fun in ages! I'll be fine!"

"J-just promise me that you won't push yourself too hard, alright?" Diao Chan pleaded.

"Oh, let the boys have their fun!" cried out another woman, this one with far more force behind her voice. "It's not everyday that Orochi finds someone who can actually challenge him in battle... He wouldn't kill his only sparring partner needlessly. Of course, if you keep interrupting them like this, I can't promise your safety. You should just relax and enjoy the display of skill!"

"Easy for you to say..." Diao Chan. "Unlike Lord Orochi, Lord Lu Bu isn't immortal... One clean hit, and he's dead."

"You're always going on about how he's the 'greatest warrior to ever live'..."

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"Doesn't sound like you're too convinced of your own words. You're a dancer, right?"

"Hey! Stop changing the subject like that!" Diao Chan cried out slightly angry.

"I know just the thing to get your mind off of this!" Da Ji laughed with a sinister smile.

Realizing that trying to get the conversation back to where it had started was useless, Diao Chan gave in with a sigh, "And what exactly do you have in mind?"

"I'm going to teach you a dance of my own," Da Ji explained with a smirk.

"Well, I suppose it would be nice to have something new to show Lord Lu Bu..." Diao Chan said, looking back toward the two combatants.

"I can promise you, he'll absolutely love it," Da Ji said mischievously, Assuming you find yourself willing to leave me afterward.

Looking back and forth between Da Ji and Lu Bu, Diao Chan reluctantly replied, "I suppose... I've not danced since we've arrived here, it would be good to make sure my skills don't fade."

"Then it's decided!" Da Ji said as she stood. Noticing that Diao Chan was still looking toward the warriors, Da Ji grabbed her by the wrist and began to pull her along, "Come on, he'll be fine!"

--- --- --- --- --- --- ---

"Is this a dojo?" Diao Chan asked, walking into a room with bamboo rugs lining the floor from wall to wall, and Japanese-style sliding paper doors and walls.

"It was. But Orochi lets me use it whenever I want to have some fun," Da Ji chuckled, "I'm quite the dancer myself... You and I are probably more alike than you realize."

I highly doubt that, Diao Chan thought to herself, but wasn't about to act so disrespectful in front of Orochi's chief strategist... Especially since it seemed like she was genuinely trying to be nice for once, "Well, who can say?"

"So, anyways, are you ready to begin?" Da Ji asked eagerly.

"Yes, let's," Diao Chan said as she reached for her weights.

"Uh-uh, this dance doesn't use those," Da Ji explained, "a dancer only needs her body to perform."

With a nod, Diao Chan placed her weights in the corner of the room, then walked to the center of the room, where Da Ji was waiting, "So how does it begin?"

"First, you take your right leg and step toward your partner," Da Ji said as she demonstrated.

Diao Chan followed, with their ankles now crossing.

"Now, take each hand in its opposite," Da Ji instructed, their right hands taking each other's left. "Spin, and..."

As the dancers twirled, Da Ji stole a kiss. The sheer shock caused Diao Chan to drop to the floor, "W-what did you do that for?!"

"Two reasons. One, like I said, you need to relax," Da Ji said as she gently slid to the floor atop Diao Chan, rubbing her shoulders all the while, "And two, Orochi hasn't had any time for me ever since the Resistance Army rose up. So, I figured I'd fix both our problems at the same time."

Diao Chan tried to object, "B-but..."

"Besiiiides..." Da Ji laughed as she licked Diao Chan's ear, "If you don't like it, why are you turning so red? You act so shy..."

"Act?" Diao Chan asked.

"But I know what you really are. I told you, we're more alike than you realize," Da Ji let out a devious chuckle, "You're so good at acting, you've fooled even yourself. But deep down, you really want this... You want me to touch every last inch of your skin, to make you scream out my name... You're a manipulative slut, even if you haven't realized your own talents. Don't worry; today's lesson well bring them to the fore..."

"Please..." Diao Chan whispered weakly.

"Please what?" Da Ji asked in a toying manner as she moved her hands down to Diao Chan's breasts, gently rubbing them through her dress. "What is it you want?"

Diao Chan could only utter a single word as the arousal grew within her, "D-don't..."

"Come on... I may be a strategist, but that doesn't mean I'm a mind reader," Da Ji chuckled, then licked at Diao Chan's ears again. "Don't what?"

"Please... Don't stop," Diao Chan groveled, "It feels... So good."

"Don't worry; I have on plans to stop now," Da Ji whispered. "Not until you're mine."

The two dancers began to undress as they fervently exchanged kisses, rolling on the bamboo mats beneath them.

"Not bad, you taste pretty good," Da Ji smirked, "But let's see if it's any better down here... Oh... What's this?"

"W-what?" Diao Chan asked, noticing that Da Ji was staring at her vagina with a surprised look on her face.

"Well, that certainly explains a lot..."

"What? What explains a lot?"

"It's no wonder you hadn't found your manipulative talents yet," Da Ji laughed. "Still a virgin, at your age? I guess all the rumors about you and Dong Zhou were nothing more than just that... But don't worry, that's easily fixed!"

Diao Chan cried out in simultaneous pain and pleasure as her hymen was broken by Da Ji's probing fingers. It felt as though the only thing that kept her from dying was the desire to hold onto the pleasure she felt, yet it was so difficult to do so as the torment tumulted through her simultaneously.

"I don't want it to end," Diao Chan managed to speak, "It's unlike anything I've ever felt before..."

"Indeed... Using this, you can bend anyone to your will... Of course, the process is a little different for men, but the basic concept is still the same," Da Ji explained, "Your little Lu Bu will be your willing slave... And the entire time, he won't even realize that you're the one in charge. Of course, now that you've realized this, I have to establish my dominance over you." With those words, Da Ji suddenly stopped stimulating Diao Chan's nether regions, ceased kissing her lips, and separated their breasts. "You will not have what you want until I get what I want. Understood?"

Diao Chan nodded, "I'll do anything..."

"I know you will," Da Ji laughed as she gently pushed Diao Chan to the ground, and lowered her slit atop the Chinese dancer, "Make me come."

"At once," Diao Chan gladly complied, eagerly eating out Da Ji's pussy, but then hesitating after a few moments, Time to see if I can turn her own teachings against her...

"Did I give you permission to stop?" Da Ji asked, "Finish the job at once!"

"I'm sorry... It's just, I've never tasted anything so sweet before," Diao Chan said as she resumed licking.

Moaning sensually at the pleasure, Da Ji smiled, "I suppose I can forgive you, this once. Just don't let it happen again..."

"As you command," Diao Chan replied, So she's not impervious... If I could turn this around, make her the slave... But I need it so badly... I can't...

Diao Chan's thoughts faded into gibberish as only one goal dominated her mind: release from the tormenting sexual pleasure which she felt. She licked at Da Ji as though her life depended on it, darting her tongue in and out of the vixen's cunt. The scents and tastes grew sweeter as Da Ji grew wetter, and the sensations increased further and further still until she cried out in release.

"Heh... Heheh... Very good... Once you get what you want, it's important to give your slave some positive reinforcement, so that they begin to desire to please you," Da Ji laughed, "But after that little stunt you pulled, I'm not sure you deserve it..."

"W-what?!" Diao Chan cried in shock, "You knew?!"

"Of course I knew what you were trying to do!" Da Ji shouted, "I've been doing this for centuries, you think that you can overcome my techniques in a matter of minutes?! Give me one good reason that I should let you have release!"

"Because, I know what it is you really want," Diao Chan whispered into Da Ji's ear, "And if you're not willing to take me, how can you ever have me as your own?"

"You learn too fast for your own good," Da Ji laughed, "Very well then, I will please you. But if I ever catch you doing that again, I'll have to punish you."

"Maybe I want to be punished," Diao Chan chuckled as she pulled Da Ji atop of her, this time facing the other way.

Their pussies facing one another, Da Ji bent down and began to eagerly lick at Diao Chan. Between the lingering taste of Da Ji's juices, and the arousal she still felt from Da Ji's earlier foreplay, it didn't take long before she came.

"That... Was amazing," Diao Chan gasped, still reeling from the pleasure. "Is that how you went from being in Orochi's harem to his chief strategist?"

"Orochi's harem?!" Da Ji laughed, "No no no! That harem was his wedding gift to me!"

"Oh? Are any of them good?" Diao Chan blushed, unable to believe such a question had come from her own mouth.

"Not particularly, but while Lu Bu isn't here, you can use one of them if you want," Da Ji explained.

"I don't need Lu Bu," Diao Chan whispered into Da Ji's ear.

"Well I won't always be here either," Da Ji chuckled, "But our work isn't done... Do you know of Zhen Ji?"

"Only in passing, why?"

"Her skills in the art of manipulation are comparable to my own, from what I hear... If we can't convince her to join us, she could be a threat..."

"Well then, we'll just have to make her your slave too."

"Well said," Da Ji said as she rolled atop of Diao Chan, and give her a quick kiss. "Come on, they're probably wondering where we are."

"Actually, would it be alright if I laid down?" Diao Chan asked, "This is my first time doing this sort of thing, and it's left me rather tired..."

"Alright, I'll just tell them that you got a little sunstroke from dancing in the heat," Da Ji offered as she pointed toward a door, "My bedroom is right over there."

"Thank you, Lady Da Ji," Diao Chan bowed as she exited into the bedroom. As she lay on the bed, she couldn't help but laugh, You were right... You don't even realize that you're already my slave.
