Awakened Zelenin

Part 5


Zelenin opened her eyes and looked up at the metal ceiling. Sitting up, she noticed Lilith had gone. Instead, a chess board stood on the floor. A game had been in play, but it seemed it was over now. Apparently, the black queen had checkmated the black king.

Looking around, Zelenin noticed that, although Lilith was gone, she still wasn't alone in her quarters. Zelenin lay on her bed, as naked as she was.

"Wasn't there another one of me?" Zelenin asked her naked self. "One dressed in white?"

Zelenin nodded. "There was," she said.

"But not any more," Zelenin added.

"But not any more," her naked self agreed.

For a moment Zelenin considered asking her other self where their clothed counterpart had gone, but decided not to bother. She had a feeling she already knew the answer. She stood up and walked towards the bed. Her naked self wordlessly sat up, giving her enough room to sit down next to her. This close, Zelenin couldn't resist getting a good look at her self. And, by the looks of it, she couldn't resist giving her a good look either. The attention was... quite flattering.

Looking her over, it struck Zelenin how completely identical her other self was to her. She'd half expected her to be magical in some way. An illusion, perhaps, or a shapeshifting demon. She'd expected her to be slightly different in some slight, subtle way. But no, they were both completely the same, down to the colour of their eyes and the subtle rising and falling of their chests as they breathed.

But then again, that was the point, Zelenin realised. Right now, she could not be with anyone except herself. If she were to build a world where everyone accepted everyone, then she, too, would have to accept everyone. Including herself. Of course, after she'd taken demons into her bed, sleeping with herself seemed like a very minor thing her. Though no less enjoyable for that.

Zelenin kissed her self. She'd expected their kiss to feel hauntingly familiar, but instead it was a refreshingly new experience. A moment's thought told her that, of course this kiss was completely different from all the others she'd ever shared. She'd never before been with a partner whose lips were identical to her own, after all. What wasn't surprising, however, was the gentleness. Zelenin prefered kisses that were soft, speaking of an inner desire that was only subtly expressed. Her partner obviously liked kisses like that because she, too, was Zelenin.

The two parted slowly and looked at each other, identical smiles on their faces. They were sitting on a field of grass, in the shade of a tall tree. The sun was bright and warm in a clear blue sky, and soft breeze rustled through the leaves above. Looking around the landscape, Zelenin spotted a few buildings somewhere in the distance. They were strange and familiar at the same time, as though they had just recently been built by some ancient and forgotten civilization.

"Is this what the new world is going look like?" Zelenin asked.

"I hope so," Zelenin replied. "Though I would expect the actual new world to have Lilim frolicking with Sylphs in the air and Daphne spying on us from between those branches above us."

"Good," Zelenin said. "Our world should be beautiful."

Zelenin felt her other self's hand slip into her own. A smile tugged at her lips.

"It occurs to me," she heard her other self say, "that we could simply enjoy the scenery or... celebrate it."

Zelenin chuckled quietly. A few days ago (or perhaps it had already been weeks) she might've briefly wondered if her companion had meant that non-sexually. But since her companion was herself, there was only one thing she could've meant. It was the same thing she would've meant, after all.

Zelenin turned and kissed her naked self. They kissed each with the same gentleness as before, with the same lurking desire, but, somehow, sitting down on the grass with warm sunlight shining down on their naked bodies, everything felt just that much better. Not that the kiss she'd shared with her identical partner before had been unpleasant, but without metal walls surrounding her on all sides it seemed to Zelenin her arousal could bloom without limit. It couldn't, of course. Her body had its own limits, but at least here those limits could not be constrained by anything. No dim, artificial lights to dampen her mood, however impercepibly. No inaudidble, nagging worry that someone might be able to hear her if she really cut loose. No unconscious fear that perhaps the demons might turn on her after all. Here, the only restraints she had were the desires of her partner. And since her partner was herself there were no restraints. She was absolutely free to do everything she wanted to.

Currently, Zelenin allowed herself to be pushed down onto the grass, her naked self on top of her, breasts pressing against each other. Zelenin embraced her self, intensifying their kiss. Their lips parted simultaneously, identical tongues meeting. Zelenin found herself growing warmer in ways that had little to do with the sun and almost everything with her other self. While their tongues played, she felt heat spreading through her body and her pussy becoming wet. She already knew that she'd eventually desire more intimate attention, but for now she was still content to hold herself in her arms and kiss her with a gradually rising passion. The other Zelenin, however, was perhaps a bit more eager than she was, or perhaps simply took advantage of the relative freedom of being on top. Zelenin felt her other self to begin squirming in her arms, softly grinding her body against her own. In response she let one hand drift down her double's back, trailing a finger down her spine.

Zelenin's other self drew back, panting a little, mirroring Zelenin's own, slightly heavier breathing. For a moment they looked into each other's lust-darkened eyes. Then Zelenin's double dipped down and kissed her cheek, then her neck, then further down. Zelenin breathed in sharply when her other self's lips touched her breasts. Her kisses were soft, but placed with a careful deliberation. Zelenin knew what she liked and so, of course, did her naked self. Each kiss seemed placed with almost cold calculation, designed to arouse her as quickly and as strongly as she could. A simple touch of her lips here, a quick flick of the tongue there and before long Zelenin couldn't stop a quiet moan from escaping her lips.

Zelenin thought she heard her other self giggle briefly, but before she could think too much about whether or not she actually had she felt her double's mouth close around one of her nipples and suck lightly. She hissed between her teeth, then moaned when she felt her other self's tongue flick against the sensitive nub, causing a wave of warm arousal to flow through her naked body. Zelenin's other self drifted away, leaving a trail of kisses across Zelenin's chest, until she neared her other nipple. She halted tantalisingly, agonisingly close, letting the tip of her tongue circle her areola once before kissing her again just below it. Zelenin would've almost whined with disappointment if it wasn't for the fact that each and every one of her double's kisses subtly stoked the smouldering embers of her arousal.

As her other self left a trail of kisses down Zelenin's body she shifted position, slowly turning around. By the time her lips had reached her mons, Zelenin no longer looked up at a clear, blue sky, but at her double's glistening pussy. Zelenin reached up to steady her other self in just the right place. Then she reached up and kissed her at seemingly the exact same moment her double reached down and kissed her back.

The two Zelenins moaned simultaneously, the noise smothered by their flesh and reverberating through their identical bodies. Though she could not deny the pleasure her double gave her, Zelenin nevertheless did her best to ignore her partner's tongue lapping at her folds so that she could concentrate on lapping at her partner's folds. She licked at her other self's folds, let the tip of her tongue circle her clit and tasted her juices, while her double did the same things to her. Lust slowly drew its hazy veil across Zelenin's mind, but she clung on as best she could, determined to pay her other self as much attention as she could. She'd masturbated often enough to become intimately aware of her own likes and dislikes and she didn't want to deny her double the benefits of that knowledge. She carefully licked and lapped at her other self's pussy, each and every flick of the tongue carefully placed to make her double shiver with pleasure. Unfortunately, her other self had the same thing in mind and her careful attentions stoked her arousal into a flame that threatened to burn away her control.

Zelenin kissed and licked her partner's pussy and all the while her own pleasure grew. The erotic feeling had spread throughout her body, brightest near her double's mouth between her legs, but shining only a little less everywhere. The feeling wrapped her chest, choking her lungs until she moaningly released. She refused, because relieving that building tightness would take her own mouth away from between her other self's legs and would deny her the taste of her double's fluids. As a kind of compromise between her body's conflicting desires, Zelenin's breathing deteriorated into gasps and panting. They weren't the loud, moaning confessions of her own lust she rather enjoyed hearing, but her changed breathing did still bear testament to her mounting pleasure.

Zelenin felt her other self's mouth draw away from her mere moments before she heard her moan into bright, blue sky. Now that she was suddenly without that pleasurable distraction, Zelenin focused all her attention on her double, her tongue flitting all her wet slit, lips passionately kissing her folds. The other Zelenin moaned and shuddered, almost writhing on Zelenin's mouth. Zelenin could feel her partner's pleasure as though it were her own and it ran through her body, hot and urgent. Her double groaned after every kiss she placed on her pussy and every time it seemed to Zelenin her partner tried to lean down between her legs again she would flick her tongue across her clit, forcing her head back and sending another lustful moan into the open air.

Soon, Zelenin's other self seemed to give up on trying to return the favour. She barely kept herself in place, panting and moaning, grinding her pussy against Zelenin's eager lips. If Zelenin were any judge, and she liked to think she was, it wouldn't be long before her double would come. The moment that realisation struck her, she grabbed her other self firmly and pulled her down as far as she could, allowing her tongue to slip into her double's pussy. She heard her other self scream at the intrusion, followed by increasingly desperate panting. Zelenin would've smiled at the noise if she hadn't been busy. Her tongue roamed across her double's wet, inner walls and she eagerly drunk her juices. The other Zelenin's panting became ever more higher pitched until, finally, her pussy tightening around Zelenin's tongue, she screamed with climactic pleasure and filled Zelenin's mouth with her fluids.

Zelenin blinked and looked up at Lilith's face. She was lying on the metal floor of her quarter, her head in the first woman's lap. Lilith smiled at her as she softly stroked her blonde hair.

"Welcome back," she whispered.

"How long was I out?" Zelenin asked.

"Not long," Lilith replied. "How are you feeling?"

"Good," Zelenin said. "Horny."

Lilith smiled. "Well, that's to be expected. Would you like me to help you with that?"

Zelenin hesitated. It was tempting. She was feeling hot and horny and here was Lilith, naked and inviting. Her body screamed at her to accept the demon's invitation. After all, wasn't that the whole point of the world they were going build?

The world they were going to build, yes. But it wasn't here yet. And if she constantly indulged her lust it wouldn't be built. Better to indulge in it occasionally, when she had to, like when she was too horny to think coherently.

"No," said Zelenin, standing up. "There's work to be done."

"True," Lilith said. "Good luck. I'll help you whenever I can."

"Thank you," Zelenin said and turned to walk out the door.

"Ah, one more thing," she heard Lilith say.

"Yes?"

"Aren't you going to put your uniform back on?"

Zelenin looked down at her naked body, then at her discarded uniform. It was true that, before, she would've put on her uniform without a second thought. But now... she couldn't quite think of a reason why she should. Her uniform displayed her rank and identification, of course, but everyone on the Red Sprite knew who she was by now, so she didn't need it for that. She also wasn't planning on venturing into the Schwarzwelt today, so she didn't need her uniform for protection either.

Zelenin's eyes narrowed as she tried to recall a memory she wasn't certain she ever actually had. Was there some other reason to put on her uniform? She vaguely felt there should be, but whatever it might've been, she couldn't think of it.

She shook her head. "No," she said, "I don't need it."

Lilith smiled. "Good," she said.

Zelenin nodded a brief goodbye and left, naked and unashamed.

Somewhere in the depths of the Schwarzwelt, a barefooted blonde girl in a blue dress started laughing and didn't stop for quite some time.

Sometimes it really did pay to do someone a favour.

And that's the end of Awakened Zelenin. I'd like to thank all my readers for reading and I would especially like to thank all my commenters for commenting. I probably wouldn't have made it this far without your support. Thank you very much.

The reason I wrote this fic is quite simple. I like Zelenin, but I'm not exactly fond of the Law path in Strange Journey. So I decided to write a fic where Zelenin ended up becoming a kind of alternative Chaos Hero. The fact that she had to sleep with a number of female demons to get there was but a happy bonus, I assure you.

I don't know if I'm going to write a sequel, however. I realise I've left the story wide open for a sequel and I do have a number of ideas, but they're vague and incoherent. The reason I managed to finish this fic (apart from all the kind comments) was that I went into it with a very definite idea of what I wanted each chapter to be (Law - Neutral - Chaos - Recruitment - Closing). I don't have such a structured idea for a sequel, and without one I tend not to finish what I start. So, while I might end up writing a sequel, I really, really wouldn't count on it.

Finally, I'd like to leave you all with this (hopefully correct) password. You might consider it a hint for one of the vague ideas I have for a possible sequel. Or, if the sequel doesn't materialise (which is quite likely, I must stress), consider it a consolation prize. ;)
