I Love with the Monster Slayer

I am in Love with the Monster Slayer

It all happened one day at the very start of Halloween.

There was me, Saori Tachibana, in our building, located at Tokyo. To be honest, there was really nothing about me that stands out. I am a simple girl with a simple appearance. Yes. I have blonde hair, from my father, but that's pretty much it; my eyes are black, and my appearance is very slim, not something you will be attracted to. And the rest, I kept studying, doing the house chores, and going to school every day.

I am eighteen years old, by the way.

My days were simply. Very average.

However, there was something I really enjoyed. That beautiful, amazing girl, with that reddish-black hair, beautiful turquoise eyes, and wonderful glasses. Her name was Karina Ohtani-Wingfield; like mine, her father was Japanese, while her mother... well... I don't really remember where she was born. I think she was from a European country, perhaps the United Kingdom.

If there was a word that could describe Karina, it was... Gorgeous.

She was my type. Elegant, graceful, and perfect. In grades, she was an A-student; in every subject, she was number one, and in athletics, her speed at running, her long jumps, and her swimming skills, along with her gorgeous, fantastic body, fit extremely well on her boobs and her butt.

It really aroused me.

In the end, I decided to make my move.

But first, I approached her in a very subtle way.

'Let's become friends.' Those were my words. Who would have thought that a simple sentence was more than enough?

In the next few weeks, Karina and I started to hang around; she helped with my studies and I helped her with the units she was struggling with, like calligraphy and mathematics. In a way, I was happy that Karina wasn't that perfect in every unit, and that I could be useful for her. The more I stayed with her, the easier it was for me to make it through school, almost like a walk to the park, which, by the way, I shared many with Karina.

Those "friendship" moments were okay; however, I wanted more.

So then, on a Friday, I asked Karina to meet me behind the Auditorium. There was a very important request I had to make of her.

'Karina... I love you.' I finally said.

But that was not all.

'I want us to become a couple. Please be my girlfriend!!' I asked her.

Meanwhile, Karina kept staring at me in such an indecisive fashion, as if she was trying to come to terms with my confession. Karina even blushed, and she looked extremely cute like that. I got to say I was surprised, for she was never this "vulnerable".

Anyway, she soon regained her composure and looked at me in the eyes.

'Well... I am also into girls,' Karina admitted, 'but... you don't want to stay with me.'

'Of course I do!! I am in love with you.'

But Karina looked at the floor, took a couple of deep breaths, and later she looked at me again, this time with a subtle yet convincing smile.

'Ok. Saori. I will be happy for us to be a couple.'

I couldn't be more content.

'But on one condition.'

'Which condition?'

'That we will only date on the days, not at night.'

I would lie if I said that this condition didn't confuse me. However, I accepted. And then, Karina and I held hands.

From that day, every day at school was very different. She smiled at me more and more, we got closer, and we practically held hands all the time. It was a matter of time before the rest of the school realised of our relationship, but that only made us happier, especially to Karina. It was a bit weird - Karina was always friendly, even with strangers, however, she was never that enthusiastic, from inside and outside the school.

But it didn't matter for me. If something, those things only made me like Karina even more.

We only dated for less than a week. But, later on, she invited me to her house, a small, discreet apartment with two bedrooms, a small kitchen and a balcony. I thought she might have a housemate, but no. Karina was living all by herself.

'You have a very beautiful house.' I said in a shy tone.

Nonetheless, I wasn't prepared for what was about to come. Karina stayed behind me and grabbed my breasts.

'Wha... Karina!!'

However, she kept squeezing my boobs.

She immediately kissed me with her tongue, and her sweet, delicious saliva entered my mouth. It was lewd, but at the same time, I enjoyed it. Her soft lips, her obscene tongue and her saliva made me feel in such a weird way, a pleasure that swarmed my legs and my arms; it was a feeling that was trying to urge me to touch Karina the same way.

And she groped my breasts again; first she unbuttoned my shirt, and then she pulled my bra. Her hands were all over me, and I felt very intense goosebumps, especially when Karina tweaked my nipples, stretching them with such passion.

'Saori, you are really sexy.' She said in a mischievous fashion. 'Your boobs are amazing.'

I could only say the first thing I came up with.

'Did you really love them?'

'I want to taste more of you.'

Then her tongue touched my breasts, that was the time when I finally moan. It was embarrassing, but I guess I was too engulfed or too good for opposing and scolding Karina.

Then, her right hand reached my crotch, touching my vulva through my underwear. It didn't last long, for Karina pulled my panties and kept staring at my pussy, after a couple of seconds, her tongue tasted it. The scream that I released could be heard in other apartments. I almost fell through the floor, but I held my grasp as Karina's tongue went deeper and deeper. In the middle of the pleasure, I had the same questions.

Why is Karina doing this? Why is this feeling so good?

Yes. I have never felt like this before. However, later, Karina got undressed and took me to her room. A textbook bedroom of a college person.

'Go on!' she said, opening her legs 'You can do the same to me.'

At first, all I could do was stare at her pussy,

'Come on, Saori.' Karina said, 'Do you really love me?'

'Yes.'

'I want to share this feeling with you.'

However, all my concerns disappeared as my tongue licked Karina's pussy, up and down. Before I noticed it, I couldn't stop. My heart was pounding as my tongue sucked every nerve of her beautiful vagina.

'Yes! Right there!' Karina exclaimed, overwhelmed by the pleasure.

Judging from her face, I deduced that she was feeling really good, so I continued enjoying her pussy, being weirdly creative with every movement, as if I was an expert on obscenity, or perhaps it was my feelings for Karina, who, to my surprise, moaned loudly. She was so sexy, I felt like she was revealing a side of her that she wouldn't show to anyone. I kept going until she got an orgasm.

'Sorry, Karina. Are you okay?' I asked her.

However, Karina was not angry; she smiled at me, and she kissed again.

Our next step was to lie on the bed. Karina was on top, and we shared another kiss with our tongues as she kept rubbing my nipples towards mine, as if they were kissing each other. We spent like ten minutes like this before she licked our pussies at the same time; Karina was on top so I could relax.

But I was happy. I took the opportunity to keep kissing her, every bit of her beautiful body.

And finally, we concluded with something I never thought existed - scissoring. That mutual rubbing of our pussies really drove me insane. It was the most joyful, intense and pleasant moment we ever shared. Even though it lasted an instant, it was like being reborn.

I couldn't believe it. I had never experienced sex before, and I also never expected to do it with my first girlfriend.

'Did it hurt, Karina?'

'No. In fact, I enjoyed it.' I confessed. 'But why?'

Karina smiled at me.

'I simply wanted to make love with you.' She confessed as she gently patted my hair.

We fell asleep, with Karina blissfully hugging me.

***

I have no idea what time it was. It was probably 1 a. m., and I slowly woke up. But Karina wasn't in bed; I was all alone.

Soon, concern took over my body, so I got dressed and went outside. The streets felt strangely hot, despite the fact that it was night; despite that, I continued looking for Karina, in every street, in every possible alley.

Until I finally found her, but... What was that horrible thing that was next to her? It was some monstrous being, with brown skin, red eyes, big fangs and extremely sharp claws. Something that will come from a video game. My eyes couldn't believe it.

However, that wasn't it.

Then, to my surprise, Karina opened her hand, and she slashed it with some nails that she had on her sleeve. She was bleeding profusely, and I almost went out of my way to help her. Nonetheless, something unexpected happened. All the blood that left Karina's hand materialised on her very palm, and then it adapted into the shape of a sword.

I was stunned. What were my eyes watching? And then, with the same agility that Karina showed in PE, she went to attack that hideous beast in front of her. I could barely see a thing. Both of them were fighting, and that creature of darkness attacked her with its claws and fangs. It was a rough battle. Karina got wounded so many times; however, her skin kept healing with such an abnormal speed that it was like nothing had happened.

And despite the fact that the monster was almost three meters tall, Karina didn't exhibit any fear in her eyes. She just kept fighting that hideous monstrosity.

Meanwhile, I was absolutely paralysed. I simply couldn't move. My body refused to respond to me, not even when the monster summoned some kind of pentagram on the floor. Summoned is actually the only word I could come up with. And from that ferocious circle, a big swarm of flying insect-like creatures came.

However, Karina wasn't scared. She kept fighting. It was like nothing happened.

To my surprise, Karina raised her left hand, and a magical circle appeared, and with it, a big rainfall of white spears was shot. I wish I could reference Fate/Stay Night, but I don't think that he or she who reads these pages will fully understand. The case is that every monster was slain by the magic of Karina.

There was another problem, though. That intense magic forced Karina to lower her guard, which allowed her enemy to tackle her and push her against a wall. That was really bad!!! Karina coughed blood, and I think some of her bones were broken.

But that was nothing compared to the fear that she felt when she... saw me in front of her.

'No! Saori?'

'Karina!!!'

I think it happened by instinct, because I went and ran to Karina.

'Stay there, Saori!!!'

It was clear to me that Karina was in extreme pain. Nonetheless, she stood up as if nothing had happened; she carried her sword, and she saw her enemy again. After a strenuous shriek that could have left me deaf, Karina also yelled at the monster, and possibly she recovered her strength, for she grabbed her sword and was able to hurt the monster, over and over again. Soon, Karina was able to cut one of the arms of the beast.

However, it still had a bit of strength. With its remaining arm, it punched Karina again in the stomach, forcing her to cough blood again. However, just when the monster was about to deliver the final blow. I did the unthinkable - I started throwing rocks at the demon. I sincerely don't know what I was thinking, but I couldn't afford to see my friend and lover in danger.

Indeed, it was a risky move. The monster rushed against me and opened its fangs, as if it was about to crush me with its fangs, but then, Karina went to the monster and pierced her sword on the brain, killing it for good.

The monster's corpse immediately turned into ash.

Despite that, Karina was still coughing blood, so I rushed to her with a napkin and tried to wash her face. Nevertheless, my eyes went blank, and my body felt heavy.

'Saori!!!'

***

I didn't remember anything else, except that my eyes slowly opened, and the first thing I saw was the beautiful, gentle face of Karina, looking at me.

'Karina!'

'Hey, sweetie.' Karina said, 'How are you feeling?'

'I feel normal.'

I lied. I was, in fact, exhausted, yet I wanted to stay like that for a while, resting my head on her cute lap

'That's good.'

After half an hour, I think, I finally got the desire to stand up. And Karina and I walked away, back home.

'This is why I wanted to date you only on the day.'

Of course, I had a lot of questions for Karina.

'What was all that about?' I asked her.

Then Karina sighed.

'Listen, Saori. The truth is that I am a Monster Slayer.'

'Monster Slayer?'

'A "chosen being" whose blood is strong enough to hunt monsters, ghosts, vampires, some Lovecraftian horror, and any nocturnal creatures that threaten the people. We have existed since ancient times, and she secretly ensured that the innocents are safe, like you.'

Soon, the wound that Karina had on her hand opened again and returned inside her body.

'But how?'

Karina kept looking at her hand.

'As I said, we come from Antiquity. In my case, it all started with my ancestor in the 11th century, Matthias de Wyngard. He was the first one who inherited the "blood of God" from Pope Gregory VII, and also his descendants must do his job.'

'Like in Castlevania?'

'No. Not like Castlevania. We simply hunt monsters for the rest of our lives. My parents sent me here to Japan to protect this city, and since I was a kid, I was trained.

Karina sighed again.

'You have no idea of all the sacrifices that I had to make because of this, Saori.' Karina clenched her fists. 'My childhood, my friends, a life of tranquillity. This is a curse. There are many like me, all over the world, and we all have to do the same. And... we are not allowed to have a normal life.'

'But you go to school with me.'

'Yeah. That's part of my job.' Karina said, 'However, that changes nothing. I am a cursed warrior.'

And then, all Karina did was turn her back on me and walk away. However, later, I grabbed Karina's hand.

'Karina. I have no idea you had to do all of this.'

'That's why I can't date you. I don't want you to die or get hurt.'

'But... Karina...'

'This is the reason why we had sex tonight. Because I can die at any moment, and I wanted to experience it in case I disappear from this world. And... I am not going to risk your life.'

'Karina...'

Before I could finish my sentence, Karina hit me on the neck, rendering me unconscious.

'Forgive me, Saori.' Karina apologised in tears

***

The next morning, I found myself in my room. At first, I felt it was all a dream, but it wasn't. It really happened.

The next day, I went to school like normal, but Karina was not there, not in any single room. I spent all day having lunch all by myself, remembering what happened last night and every single word shared by Karina with me - the story of her ancestors, her hand bleeding and creating a sword, and her fears regarding having a normal life. Truth is that no one could possibly imagine all the pain and suffering that Karina had to go through, not even me. And yes... It is a really dangerous life.

However, what we lived, what we shared, was also real, and I knew that I was very happy. Perhaps we will die. Kierkegaard said that life must be understood backwards, but must be lived forwards. Was I scared? Of course I was!! But then... I reached the following conclusion.

'If I must die, then I will do being honest with myself and my love.'

With those words, I didn't finish school that day or that evening. Instead, I went running to Karina's apartment, and without any hesitation, I rang the bell.

'Karina!! Karina!!! Please let me in!!' I repeatedly said, 'We need to talk. Please.'

It took a while, but Katrina finally opened the door.

'You should stay here.'

However, I smiled.

'Karina. I can see that you are carrying such a big burden.' I finally said, 'But you don't have to keep doing this. Not anymore. Even yesterday, I was very happy at your side; I have never felt this happy, and yes, we will die eventually, but... we can always give our best in life, even you, Karina.'

Then, I took her hand.

'Let me help you. You protected me; you are protecting us.' I continued, 'I want to do this. Please Karina... Would you allow me to ease your burden?'

And then, it came to pass that Karina started to cry; she looked at me with an innocent expression. I couldn't help it; I dried her eyes with utter tenderness.

'Saori, no one has ever shared such words with me.' Karina admitted, 'Not even my parents; you are the first one. I thought I could just push you anyway, but now... I know I can't. As much as I try, it will be impossible. Saori... Would you stay with me forever?'

I nodded my head.

'Yes. I definitely will, Karina!!'

And then, it came to pass that we hugged each other. It was absolutely the happiest moment of our lives.

'I love you, Karina.' I told her.

'I love you too, Saori.'

We shared a kiss, but that was just the beginning. That night, we had sex again, and Karina went to hunt monsters with her Blood Magic, and I kept waiting for her until she got home.

***

Days later, I moved in with Karina, and I practically became a housewife... Just kidding!!! But we were spending so much time together, and of course, being lovey-dovey despite our dark situation.

Well... at least we were having a great time at school.

But that was only the beginning. October was still there, and a very terrible, frightening red moon suddenly appeared above us.

'The Walpurgis Moon!!!'

What will happen next? We don't know, but for the first time, Karina had a smile on her face; she was truly happy...

'... Because you are at my side.' She told.

And then, she finished with a beautiful kiss.
