You had been an archeologist, trying to find historical artifacts from Yashiori Island. You had heard of some type of puppet; resembling a Kairagi, but also having an oni mask as a shield. You found this information fascinating, wanting to see it for yourself and wanting to examine it.
You had traveled a long way, mostly by foot and only using a boat if necessary. Finally arriving at the island you encountered many hilichurls, sneaking by their camps. Slowly you climbed up the mountain, noticing the many Nobushi and Samurai. Cautiously walking past them, you were stopped by one of them. They seemed to be the leader.
“You, you shouldn’t be here.” Said the tall muscular man, he was adorned in red gear.
“Well, I know that. But I must see the… what do you call it? The puppet.” You said, brushing some hair away from your face. You had been sweating due to the nonstop walking you did, even if the sky was cloudy you still felt hot.
“I would advise you don’t proceed if you don’t want to be killed.” The male said, you tried to speak up again but he cut you off. “Especially someone who’s from the city.”
Feeling offended by his comment, you spoke up. “I am more than capable of defending myself!” Brushing past the Samurai, you didn't look back. “If I do die, it would be my choice.”
“You damn city dwellers are out of your minds.” You heard him mumble as he watched you walk away.
Your clothing was tightly wrapped around your body, you could feel your sash uncomfortably tighten around your waist. Loosening it up, you continued walking up the path. As you finally reached the top, you were met with a beautiful sight.
A perfect clearing, seemingly used for fighting. And in the middle was the ancient relic you had been looking for. You took a step forward before completely stopping. Recalling the many rumors of how it would activate once you got too close. With that in mind, you set up camp on the sidelines of the ‘arena’ and walked around it many times. Pulling out your sketchbook and sketching it out. Sketching every detail, from the clothing to the Oni mask behind it. You captured it all.
The night had come rather quickly, perhaps due to your excitement. Deciding to make an easy dish so you wouldn’t go to bed hungry you started a fire. Making some egg rolls you looked over at the puppet. You swore you saw it move for a split second.
“I’m becoming delusional.” You said with a sigh as you went back to preparing your meal. Eating the eggs up, you made sure your tent was fully covered with a tarp. It seemed like it could rain any second. Yashiori island was prone to extreme rain.
Drifting off to sleep, you could hear the sounds of crickets. The sound didn’t bother you as much as you thought it would, it felt like white noise since you were alone. You didn’t mind being alone. But occasionally you’d feel uneasy. Burying yourself further into your blankets as you heard the sounds of walking outside.
Waking up at the crack of dawn, you peeked outside your tent. Looking over at the puppet. It was still in the same spot.
“That’s a relief. I could’ve sworn I heard someone or something outside last night.” Putting on fresh clothes before stepping out. You decided you’d try to see it in action. Grabbing a nearby rock, you hid behind a nearby tree and threw it near the puppet. No reaction. Picking up another one, you hit the puppet. Still, nothing happened.
Deciding if you should risk your life, you chose to do so. Walking towards the puppet, you hesitated many times. Finally standing in front of it, waiting for it to turn on. Yet it didn’t.
“It must’ve stopped working.” You whispered as you placed a hand on its helmet. Taking out your sketchbook again, you quickly drew the head of the puppet.
It was so beautiful, you wondered who the puppet was modeled after. Feeling up the puppet you noticed how muscular it was. Your hands first felt its arms, and soon roamed its chest.
As you kept feeling it, you heard a click. In shock you stumbled back and fell onto the floor as you saw the puppet pick itself up, getting into a fighting stance. Unable to move due to the immense fear you felt, you say there on the dirt floor, unmoving. Using your arms to shield you. A few moments passed and nothing happened. Could it be it didn’t want to attack? Or was it waiting for you to do something?
Curiously, you decide to stand up. Not in a defensive or threatening way, just standing calmly. As you examined it again, it didn’t move. Not until you grabbed a lock of its hair. The puppet's head snapped towards you, startling you slightly. It seemed as if it were waiting, waiting for you to do something.
Of course realizing it had no face, only a talisman. You couldn’t help but think if the Maguu Kenki was possessed. The thought of it being possessed by an unknown entity excited you. About to pull out your sketchbook again, it went back into a fighting stance. Immediately pausing, you stopped what you were doing.
‘Maybe it feels threatened when I go to grab something, how interesting.’ You thought to yourself as you continued to stare at it, not bothering to grab your materials anymore. It seemed to calm down and only stare at you. Putting the huge sword away. It seemed to be observing you as well.
“Uhh, hello there. I’ve come to observe you!” You said awkwardly. Nervously taking a step forward it seemed to calm down, not feeling threatened by your presence anymore. Noticing your much smaller stature, it cocked its head to the side. Wanting to explain yourself more, you continued speaking to it. Not caring if it understood you or not.
“See I’m an archeologist, I study old artifacts and relics. You are one of the many I’ve been able to witness.” You said as you reached a hand out towards the puppet and gave a reassuring smile. It seemed to ignore you, going back to sitting on its knees. Feeling disappointed, you went back to your setup. Making a quick and easy breakfast. Grabbing a stick that you had planned to use for firewood, you got back up and headed toward the puppet.
“Since you only get up when you feel threatened… then I guess I’ll have to threaten you and hope I don’t die in the process.” You said taking a deep breath, your hair swayed in the wind as you opened up your eyes and entered into a fighting stance.
This caught the attention of the Maguu Kenki, who quickly got back onto its feet as it drew its sword. Now feeling the fear build up in your mind. You couldn’t help but wish you had just left it alone. As it was about to attack, you quickly dropped the stick and began acting like a lunatic. Waving your arms in front of you as you yelled.
“IT WAS A JOKE!” You kept saying frantically. “I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO FIGHT!”
The puppet walked over to you, towering over you as it placed a hand atop your head. It seemed to find you quite intriguing as well. Maybe it wasn’t just built to fight.
Petting you like an animal. It calmed down more. Confusion quickly set into your brain. Unable to fully comprehend what was going on. Not wanting to make the puppet mad, you let it pet you for another minute or so.
Embarrassment kicked in soon after it went to go into its original sitting position. A deep red blush covered your face.
It stood there, waiting for you to do something. Looking up at it, you gave the puppet a small smile. Walking back to your little camp set up, you didn’t know what to do. Glancing over to the puppet occasionally. You couldn’t help but overthink. Was it made to fight? Or could it have other uses?
The sun began to set, you were too obsessed with writing in your journal before realizing the lighting had changed. Adding a fresh pile of wood for the fire, you took a sip of your water. Hours had passed by before you started feeling tired. Settling into bed, you couldn’t help but recall what happened earlier. You could feel the heat rising on your face. You felt butterflies in your abdomen. You had a slight urge, an urge that you needed to please. Using your hand to rub your crotch, you let out a little moan. Covering your mouth with your free hand, you tried to muffle your sinful noises. You could hear wet sounds coming from your bottom half, making you feel more aroused.
“Ah~” You whined out in pleasure, feeling the way your hand and fingers pleased you.
As you came, you could feel the sweat dripping down your face. Panting out, you felt even more exhausted. You soon closed your eyes.
Waking to the sound of birds chirping, you took a deep breath before getting up. Recalling the dirty activity you did last night, you felt disgusted. It also reminded you of how you’d never be able to find actual love.
“Who needs love anyway?” You said nonchalantly.
Days passed as you would interact and observed the Maguu Kenki. Obtaining some type of relationship with it. You found comfort in its company, and it seemed to feel the same way. Becoming more fond of the puppet, you couldn’t take it anymore. You wanted to do something more than have small interactions.
Slipping your hand into its hand, you pulled the giant closer to you. “I know we can barely understand each other but… please, let me try to make us understand each other.” Pressing your bodies close together, you began to dance with it. Following your movements, it mimicked you exactly.
The two of you danced until the sun had set, surrounded by the fireflies. You smiled. Fully leaning into the puppet’s touch you closed your eyes. You could feel its arms wrap around your figure. Looking up at what you assumed was its face, you felt it lean its forehead on yours. You couldn’t help but turn red. Giving the puppet a quick kiss on the armor, you fully leaned into it. Feeling more aroused than ever.
You both sat down on the floor. Lying down on the blanket you had placed down earlier.
“I wonder if you have a penis down there.” You couldn’t help but ask the question. You lay there looking up at the puppet. It seemed to want you to keep speaking. You on the other hand had just wanted to… get it on. Being a virgin and single thirty year old you couldn’t wait any longer.
Pulling your pants down you looked up at the puppet. “Umm… please be gentle.”
The puppet placed its hands on your thighs, spreading them open. You watched as it examined you, looking at the way your sensitive areas twitched from the cold air. It’s gloved hand soon began touching your private parts. You shivered at the touch. Watching how it played around with you. Letting out soft moans you rolled your head back, looking up into the night sky.
It quickly found your hole, inserting its finger inside you. You couldn’t help but shiver in both pain and pleasure. The new sensation made you feel amazing. As you became accustomed to the finger inside you, the puppet had began pulling it out slowly and then inserting it back.
You moaned out, the sensation of being stretched out drove you into a state of euphoria. You squirmed, feeling defenseless as it abused your tight hole. You could feel your orgasm approaching. Your face flushed completely.
Unable to hold back, you came. A loud moan escaped your lips as you felt your bodily liquids leave you. Feeling embarrassed for cumming so soon.
It just stared at you, waiting for further commands.
“I-I, this was an amazing week. I really need to head back to the city.” You said quickly pulling up your pants and getting up. The puppet did the same, getting onto its feet. It watched as you walked back to your tent. Taking the blanket with you as you mumbled out nonsense.
As soon as you walked into your tent you burst out crying, sobbing into your hands. You felt ashamed and disgusted.
“You, you’re disgusting! You desperate piece of shit.” You croaked out. You fell asleep shortly after.
Waking up early the next morning you packed up your belongings. Heading back down the path you had followed days ago. You didn’t look back, not wanting to relive the stupid mistake you made last night.
As you walked down the path you spotted the same red samurai, the one that tried to stop you from walking up towards the Maguu Kenki. You noticed that it was all alone, as if eating for someone or something.
You contemplated if you should keep walking towards him or walk around. But you didn’t have the energy to do the second option. So you walked towards him. Hoping he wouldn’t stop to talk with you.
“So how was it?” He asked. Looking at you with curiosity.
Stopping in your tracks you looked at him in confusion. “How was what?”
He chuckled slightly before turning fully to look at you. “Last night. You seemed to really enjoy yourself.” He said with a tease. His red armor glistened in the sun.
“I have no idea what you’re talking about.” You said with a blush.
“No need to play dumb. It’s ok to feel embarrassed. We all have our own urges that need to be met.”
“I- just please don’t tell anyone.” You muttered out. Gods, you couldn’t believe you were caught.
“I won’t tell.” He said, you couldn’t see his face but you had a feeling he was smiling. “Look, you’re one brave city person.”
“Huh?”
“My crew and I were heading over to the old ship wreck, you seem like the type who’d want to explore that type of place.” The samurai said, he seemed to be a bit nervous.
“Oh I’ve heard many stories about that, Nazuchi Beach, I’d love to explore it some day.” You said with a smile.
“I could, well I mean we could let you tag along. If you’d like to that is.”
You thought for a moment. Unsure if you should go. Then something clicked. You looked around and noticed he was all alone. Was he waiting for you this whole time?
“Have you been watching over me?” You blurted out. He paused for a moment before looking away.
“Yes, I had to make sure you wouldn’t get hurt.”
You blushed before giving a small smile. “Thanks. I’ll take you up on that offer.” You said, grabbing his hand. He squeezed your hand before leading you to the beach.
“What’s your name?”
“Yokou.”
“It’s very nice meeting you. Say is this your way of flirting with me?” You said, giving a small chuckle.
“Perhaps… do you think it’s weird?” Yokou asked.
“No, I think it’s sweet.” You said, kissing his hand.
The two of you walked towards the beach, getting to know each other more. You felt quite happy, the two of you had so much in common. You felt like you finally got your happily ever after.
