The Succubus's Plaything

Chapter 65: Feeling Light

Inesa POV

I feel light. Not light as in lightheaded, but I have a powerful feeling that I could do anything.

I know that it's been a few days since I.. Since I.. Since Hal and I.. My face heats up when I think about it. Ever since Hal spent the night at my place, despite it being a while ago, I haven't felt any urge to suck blood recently.

Maybe I actually satisfied my needs this time? I amazingly actually feel normal now, the urge to sink my fangs into an innocent victim completely gone.

I am walking down the school corridor on my way to first period, when out of nowhere Hal pops up, hitting me in a head on collision.

Somehow he's the one to be sent flying though.

"Hal.. What on earth are you doing?.." While I can't honestly say that I mind bumping into him.. literally sending him flying is kind of embarrassing, especially since the hall is crowded. I shouldn't be even nearly heavy enough to cause that!

"I.. Uhm.. Am in a hurry?" Somehow his words come out as a question rather than a statement. I guess he's just as surprised as I am.

I sigh. "Just get up." People will stare if we have a conversation like this..

"Where are you going in such a hurry?"

"I'm.. looking for a friend?.."

Once again.. a question? I decide to ask him about it.

"Why did that sound like a question?"

"I don't know. I'm trying to find Minoru."

I don't sense any lies, although I do know that isn't the whole truth. Well.. Since I'm in such a good mood, I'll let it slide this one time.

"Well.. Since I'm in such a good mood, I'll let it slide this time." I give word to my thoughts, and following with a little wave, I turn my back towards him to walk away, thus ending the conversation.

In my rear I can hear his footsteps rapidly distance themselves as he once more resorts to running in the hall.

Heh. He'd better not run into Sara like that.. She'd give him an earful. I would know since she does the same to me.

...

Left. Right.

I weave back and forth through the opposing team as I make my way towards the ball. Upon reaching it I make contact, striking it square in the center with the top of my foot, sending it whizzing.

The ball flies in a perfect arch, just barely flying past the goalkeeper, and scoring another goal for my team.

A pang of dopamine pierces through my brain, and reflexively I tighten my fists with a sense of accomplishment.

Of course, as a developing succubus, physical sports come to me quite naturally, but right now, I feel as if I'm riding a new wave.

Does this mean my development is nearly finished? Am I finally a fully-fledged succubus?

"Whoa.. You can do that?" Niko comes up behind me, her forehead shiny from sweat. While her figure is quite nice, her physical state proves that she doesn't get much exercise outside of PE, where even here she normally takes it pretty easy just like me. Today however, with me deciding to play a little bit more serious, I guess she got a bit fired up as well.

"I guess.." I touch the side of my neck, a little embarrassed.

"How come you've never done this before? Have you been training in secret? Why didn't you tell me?"
