Eclipse

Chapter 34

Eclipse's POV

The swim was surprisingly short to the kingdom Kaito was talking about. But then again, cutting through by water is always faster than going around and walking on land. Once we were at the surface, Kaito plucked a scale from my tail, causing me to yelp.

"Ow! Hey warn me at least next time."

"Sorry, had to make sure you wouldn't run off on me." She said, holding the scale and swimming towards the top of the water. I huffed, following and scooting onto land before transforming. Kaito tilted her head curiously, trying to figure out how to use the scale correctly.

"Need some help?"

"...How the hell did you do that." She said with annoyance. I smiled, telling her it was basically like wishing. She spent a few moments figuring it out before finally getting it right. She gasped as she tried standing, falling over immediately. I laughed, her huffing at me.

"Hey don't laugh." She grumbled annoyed. I smiled, walking over and helping her up while still giggling.

"Sorry. I'm not trying to be mean. Just reminds me of Grant when he first got his legs again. It's really strange at first, don't worry." I said, letting Kaito hang onto me while we slowly walked onto the shores. After a few minutes of walking, she got the hang of it and was able to walk herself. 

"There ya go. See? Not too bad. Anyway, where're we headed now?" I asked, Kaito looking around before pointing in a direction. I nodded, following her in silence. Once we reached the city, I smiled, Kaito asking what I was happy about.

"Oh because I know where we are!"

"You do???"

"Mhm. Well, kinda. I've been here before and I semi-know the king."

"The king huh? Who is he."

"His name is Oikawa. This is really the village marked on your parents' map?"

"Yeah.. If you know the king, is it possible you can get me to see them?"

"Mmm, depends on what you plan on doing."

"I want to talk to him." I tapped my foot for a bit, contemplating on doing that. I mean, Oikawa was really capable of protecting himself and he had the loyalty of his kingdom and soldiers and servants, so it isn't like if he disappeared, no one would notice.

"Okay, I'll see what I can do." I said, walking with her to the palace gates. The soldiers looked down at me as I smiled sweetly. One of them had no idea who I was and told me to leave, but the other smiled.

"I recognize you. Are you here to see the king?"

"Yes sir!"

"Please, allow me to send someone to inform him first." The soldier said with a bow. I thanked him, watching him walk off while the other stayed to guard. Kaito looked a bit amazed. 

"How did you do that?"

"Do what."

"Get that guard to get you an audience with the king without magic."

"Um. Well, he said he recognized me and I was just nice to him?" I said, Kaito slowly nodding as we waited patiently for the knight to return.

Oikawa's POV

"Awww, can't we go a bit longer~" I said with a grin, kissing right under my husband's jaw. He let out a groan as I rocked my hips with him still buried inside of me.

"T-Toru..."

"Mm?"

"F-Fuck. How the hell do you vampires have so much stamina.." He said, starting to get hard again. I smiled, moving gently with a content sigh.

"We've only gone 4 rounds." I said, Hajime letting his head fall back while I did the moving again. 

"Is that really not enough for you.."

"Aw come on Hajimeeee. You're hard again, and you look like you're feeling good." I said, kissing him as I moved. My husband sighed, letting his body rest back against the pillows supporting him while I moved, his hands resting lazily on my hips. 

It was true that vampires had a lot more stamina than humans. And I think my sex drive was also a bit higher than that of a normal vampires' anyway. I could tell Hajime was tired, so I smile faintly and cupped his cheeks. Kissing him deeply while just rocking my hips.

"Last round okay??" I mumbled, Hajime nodding while kissing me lazily. Just as I was getting close to finishing, there was a knock at the door. I groaned, sitting still.

"Who is it."

"It is just me, your highness."

"What do you wan- hey aren't you supposed to be on guard at the front!"

"I have come to tell you that the young girl, Eclipse, has come requesting to see you. And she has brought another girl with her."

"Hm.. alright. Give me uh.. 10 minutes." I said, hearing the clink of the guard's armor as he walked off. Hajime chuckled faintly with a raised brow.

"You think you can finish in 10 minutes love?"

"Mm, we'll just have to see. Think we can break a record?" I said with a smirk and a wink.

Mini Time Skip

After a quick bath and changing, I stood in front of the large looking glass to make sure I looked presentable. Hajime joined me while a few servants got to work cleaning and changing our bedding. We walked to the front gates, Eclipse waving her arm with a smile. I smiled faintly, allowing them inside and walking with them.

"Eclipse. It is good to see you. If you are here, I can only assume things went seemingly well??"

"Well, I don't know if I'd say it went 'well', but I will say it was victorious."

"Good, I'm very glad. I hope what we provided was some use."

"Oh it was, thank you so much again for your help and provisions." She said with a smile. I nodded, glancing at the other girl curiously. Eclipse introduced her friend, saying they were looking for her parents. Eclipse described the couple to me.

"Hm. I do not think I have ever seen a man with hair as red as yours. Or a man who matches your second description." I said in thought, Kaito looking upset and asking me,

"Well.. have you ever seen them possibly with anyone else??" She asked. I shook my head, the girl clearing her throat and asking if there had been any disappearances.

"Disappearances? Hm. Not recently, but there have been cases of disappearances quite often. I have sent soldiers out to investigate, but unfortunately they just disappear too." I said rather honestly. Normally I wouldn't share that information to avoid scaring anyone, but Eclipse was trustworthy and could even possibly help.

"Where have these disappearances and soldiers been last seen?"
