Chapter 2

Mission 5
Jounalistic Pursuit

A journalist wanted to go down to Ragol. Great, Ash thought. A sweaty guy following him around in the jungle. Just what he needed. But then again, his apartment rent was due, and he needed the money.
The client turned out not to be a sweaty guy at all. Her name was Nol, a newman who wanted to get a scoop on ragol to bring back the tradition of questioning the government. She wore a blue newman hunter’s outfit that Ash guessed helped her get any interview she wanted. She was so tighly squeezed into the shirt that it was a wonder she could breathe and her shorts were so small Ash figured she couldn’t limbo dance without being arrested. Ash told her they should get going. He was going to enjoy this mission.
Ash lead them through the first forest area without consequence. At the teleporter to the next area he stopped.
“Things get dangerous from here on out” Ash said with concern.
“Don’t worry about me” Nol said indignantly. “I can handle myself”
“It sure hasn’t seemed that way” Ash said, looking away from her to avoid getting a boner.
“Yeah, well I don’t need some nobody hunter telling me what to do”
Ash was hurt. She had taken his comment as an insult when it wasn’t ment to be. “Okay, but if things are going to get dangerous so stick close to me”
Nol heard his voice waver and realized she had attacked someone who just wanted her to be safe.
They stepped through the teleporter. The area was more dangerous and Nol realized it. Her gun was barely phasing the monsters here. Ash seemed fine, but she could tell that he was having to work a lot harder to protect her from the onslaught of creatures.
Sweat dripped from Ash’s face. For a moment Nol lost concentration, thinking about Ash’s tough body glistening with that sweat, and about licking it off him.
“Hildebears!!” Ash cried and snapped Nol out of the fantasy.
Nol didn’t see the three giant monsters charging her from behind. She glanced at Ash, and saw the fear in his eyes.
She was a good 10 meters away from him and the monsters were just two meters away from her. Ash knew that if those hildebears attacked her she wouldn’t just be unconcous, she’d be dead.
Ash dashed over to Nol, but he was too late. He saw one of the brutes swing its giant arms, and he made a split-second descision. He jumped in front of Nol and took the heavy blow to his chest. Nol whiled around just in time to see the hit and to hear Ash’s bones cracking.
Ash felt like he had been hit by a truck, but his instincts kicked in and he stabbed the beast with his beam saber. The monster was stunned, but he could see its allies getting ready to spit fire at him. Then Ash felt his arm being pulled away from the monsters, and felt his feet automaticlly following.
Nol pulled Ash into an alcove and the steel doors slid shut behind them. Ash felt himself fall as his vision darkened and he fell unconscious.
Nol rolled Ash onto his back. She knelt down beside him head and ran her fingers through his hair. She had been foolish. He had risked his life to save hers, even after she had been so cruel to him.
Nol injected him with moon atomizer and trimate, but she had heard his bones break and she had no way of knowing if her treatment would help him at all.
“Please wake up...” Nol whispered in Ash’s ear as a tear rolled down her cheek.
“Please...” Nol started to softly cry as Ash lay there motionless. “I don’t want you to die because of me...I... I’m sorry Ash, i’m really sorry...” Nol kissed his lips and pressed her head against his chest. If only she had paid more attention, or listened to his warning, or just stayed close to him. Nol cried for her mistake, and for Ash, who had treated her better than she deserved.
Thump-thump. Nol stopped crying long enough to hear Ash’s heartbeat. Thump-thump. there it was again. Her head was still pressed against his chest and Nol could hear his heart beat clearly now. Nol listened closely for a few minutes, listening to his heart get stronger with her newman ears.
Nol cried again, crying tears of joy.
“What’s wrong?” Ash whispered.
“Ah!” Nol cried and wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly.
Ash pulled his arms around her as she buried her head in his shoulder. He heard her crying. Was she that worried about him?
They stayed like that until Nol regained her composure a few minutes later.
“Lets go home” She said, pulling away from him and standing up.
“Are you sure?” Ash said as he wiped the tears from her face.
Nol opened a telepipe “Yes” she said and took his hand in hers. “I’ve got a new story...” They walked into the telepipe and dissapeared from Ragol.

Nol had changed her story. Her original story was going to be about the survivors, or lack there of, of Pioneer 1. Finding no survivors Nol decided that instead of a depressing story about the loss of everyone abord, she would turn in a story profiling a courageous up-and-coming young hunter.
The next day there was a special report by Nol on the news. It detailed the heroic efforts of Ash to save her life, and an interview with Ash.

Ash layed in his bed under a sheet, and Nol sat on the edge, turned to talk to him. She had come to see him in the hospital after interviewing him last night.
“I guess I should thank you.” Ash said.
“Why?” Nol asked “You were the one who saved my life and then gave me a great story”
“Well...” Ash blushed “lets just say that since that story I’ve gotten lots of e-mails with interesting offers”
“more missions?”
“...more like ‘job’ opportunities, if you know what I mean.”
Ash blushed and Nol turned red with jealousy. They sat there in silence for a whil as Nol calmed down and remembered why she had come.
“Ash...I came here to ask you something.” Nol said “I was wondering...” her voice lowered to a whisper.
“Hey.” Ash interupted “aren’t you wearing the same clothes from yesterday?”
“I haven’t had time to change” Nol replied, still concentrating on her question, “I’ve been dying to get out of them.”
Ash blushed again and Nol realized what she had just said and she turned red again.
Ash took it as a sign and put his hand on her thigh.
“What I wanted to ask you was...” Nol trailed off as Ash, noting that she hadn’t objected to his hand, had started rubbing his hand up and down her thigh.
Nol could feel herself losing control of her mind. She had to ask the question before she gave into her desire. “When will you be healthy enough to have sex?” she blurted out as Ash started stroking the inside of her thigh.
“Absolutely” Ash said as he rubbed her thigh right up to her crotch.
She jumped up off the bed and started to strip down. she pulled her shirt off and her brests jiggled free, nipples erect. Nol kicked her shoes off and she slid her shorts down around her ankles. She turned to face Ash as she slipped her thumbs into her pink panties. As she slowly slid them off Ash stared at her crothch as it was revealed. A tuft of light brown hair surrounded her vagina.
Nol pulled away the sheet from Ash’s naked body and put her hands on his chest, feeling his muscles. His stomach was wrapped in badages and his penis stood erect.
She stradled his waist, letting his dick rub against her butt cheeks. She leaned forward and stuck her tounge in his mouth. Her breasts jiggled and dooped down as she leaned over and her pink nipples pressed against his chest.
Ash rubbed her smooth back as they kissed. Her skin was incredibly soft and warm to Ash’s touch. Their tounges danced around each other in thier mouths.
Nol moved her hands and started massaging his shoulders. Rick returned in kind, rolling her pliable skin in his hands.
Nol shoved her tounge as far down Ash’s throat as she could, and He sucked her touge and mouth as much as he could. Nol let out a small moan. She arched her back and Ash felt his dick slide in between her butt cheeks.
Ash cupped her breasts and rolled her nipple in between his thumb and index finger. Nol pulled her arms behind her and wrapped them around his thighs. She ran her hands up and down the insde of his legs.
Ash continued to suck Nol’s tounge and she let out another small moan. A shiver went down Nol’s spine. Ash felt her butt rubbing aginst his hard cock as she rubbed her pussy against his abdomen. Her soft genital hair brushed against Ash’s skin and as she lowered her vagina onto him he felt the wet lips of her vagina.
Ash shoved his tounge down Nol’s throat and felt her tounge and his pushing against each other. Nol blindly felt for Ash’s dick behind her. She grasped it at the base with one hand and lightly carressed his balls with the other. She pulled his dick out from between her but cheeks and ran her hand up and down its length slowly. Nol slowly swayed her hips back and forth and rubbed her wet pussy up and down against Ash’s body.
Nol wrapped her tounge around his and began to suck on it as Ash pushed his tounge further into her mouth. Nol lifted her pussy up from Ash and he felt a drop of her fluid drip onto him. Nol used her hand around his dick to direct him towards her pussy. She ran the tip of his dick up the length of her pussy, rubbing it against her lips. Ash dropped her breasts and ran his fingers down her body to her ass. he carressed and squeezed her tender flesh as she slowly brought her wet pussy down onto his hard dick. Nol moaned again as the head of his dick slid into her.
Nol felt her entire body tremble with excitement as she pushed his cock into her. Ash moaned as she pulled her pussy off him. His dick glistened with Nol’s juice. She slid her pussy back onto him. Nol was able to slide the entire length of his dick into her. Ash felt the wet lips of her vagina touch his balls. Nol sat there on his cock for a minute, breateing heavily.
She gathered her strength and then started her favorite move. With his dick inside her she started bounceing up and down. Her brests jiggled as she slid up and down his dick as fast as she could. They both moaned as she bounced, his penis rubbing against the walls of her vagina, and her clitoris rubbing against his skin.
Nol began to orgasm. fluid flowed from her vagina as she bounced, running down Ash’s dick and onto his balls. The walls of her vagina tightened around his dick, sending him over the top. Ash exploded a blast of cum into her. she kept bouncing as she continued to cum, and Ash came again, shooting another blob of cum into her. Nol continued bouncing as their fluids mingled and dripped down his dick and the walls of her vagina. Ash came again, shooting a blob of semen at the top of her vagina.
Nol’s bouncing slowed as Ash began to lose his erection. Nol slowly stepped off the bed. cum dripped from her vagina, running down the inside of her legs. Nol picked up her panties and used them to wipe herself off. She turned her back to Ash and pulled her shirt on and slid her shorts up.
“I have to go” Nol said, her back to Ash.
“When will I see you again?” Ash asked as he sat up in the bed.
“You won’t” Nol said with a sigh.
“what do you mean?” said Ash incredulously.
“I...” Nol trailed off. “I don’t do relationships”
Ash stared at the back of her head. “...It’s ok” he said reassureingly. “If you’re not ready for one I can’t force you.”
“thanks for understanding”
“but” Ash interjected “if you ever do want to be with me, then just call”
Nol nodded her head and left the room, leaving her wet panties on the floor.
She ran away from the hospital crying. She cursed herself for being so afraid of committment. Ash was a really great guy and a great lover, but she was terrified of being rejected. After all, if someone as understanding and caring as him dumped her then her hopes of ever finding someone would be forever crushed.
For Nol, never having loved at all was preferable to having loved and lost.
Ash kept her panties.
