Eating Your Weight: Magic Firewall

“...-and honestly they were pretty chill after that. Which is–nngh!–good, because I don't think an actual fight with them would go my way.”

Miyo's eyes shined in the moonlight as she leaned her head back, “*Pop* No it wouldn't have. You're strong, Naomi, but fighting that many Devils at once would end badly for just about anyone. I'm glad you managed to resolve the situation without it coming to that.”

I nodded, leaning back and feeling the cool sheets caress my skin, “Yeah, me too. I just got back home and started school; I don't want to go stirring up trouble with the Satans in my own backyardohmygodMiyo!”

The last part of my sentence came out in a gasp as Miyo did something with her tongue that left me seeing stars. My parents had gone out to dinner and weren't expected until much later so the two of us were sequestered in my bedroom, enjoying ourselves like we always did as I recounted the meeting to my lover. A task that was made infinitely harder thanks to the fact that she had half of my dick in her throat and was quickly working on getting the rest to join it.

She clearly enjoyed the reaction she had garnered judging by the look in her lidded brown eyes. Her tongue slid along the belly of my shaft as she pulled it out of her throat, leaning back to rest it on her face, stroking it with one hand almost nonchalantly, “A wise decision. You may not be affiliated with any faction but that just means that your actions will be scrutinized even more heavily.”

“Yeah, that's totally why I didn't start anything. Definitely not because I didn't want to get my ass kicked or anything.” I gasped as she fondled my balls, “I actually think I hit it off pretty well with a couple of them. Though I'm pretty sure at least one of them doesn't care for me. I couldn't get a good read on her.”

“Well you can't make everyone happy. As long as the important ones were pleased, that's all that matters.” Miyo laid languid kisses along the length of my leaking cock before rising to her feet. I watched as she rose, her naked body looking just as good as the day I first saw it as she straddled me.  

Her sexy, smooth thighs came to rest on either side of my hips as she put her hand on my shoulders to keep herself steady. She rolled her hips, releasing a breathy, shuddering gasp as her core slid over my dick, before reaching down to guide me inside of her.

Miyo’s pussy accepted me as easily as it had dozens of times before, welcoming me between those velvet walls without any issues as the woman sank down on my lap. My hands came down to her ass, fingers sinking into her flesh beautifully  as she began to bounce up and down in my lap. As her lower half moved, she leaned forward and fell onto me.

Her succulent breasts pressed into my much more modest pair as she rolled her hips, grinding her crotch into my lap in smooth, deliberate motions. As she moved, her eyes stared up into mine, and a flicker of mischief passing through those chocolate orbs, “Naomi… Outside. Do you feel that?”

Confused by her words, I turned my attention away from Miyo's talented body and to my senses instead, focusing them out the nearby window. It didn't take me long to find what she was alluding to. A presence was hovering just across the street bright and very noticeable to my senses. I could feel their magic pulsing through the air, fluctuating rapidly  with whatever emotions they were feeling, and I blinked as I vaguely recognized them, “Is that…”

“It seems the Devils don't trust you completely just yet.” Miyo said, raising herself back up so she could properly bounce up and down. She moaned, bringing her hands up to fondle her bouncing breasts before looking down at me with an oddly mischievous look on her face, “What do you say we give them a show?”

Her words were met with a deep throbbing in my core and hers as well as my cock swelled inside of her, causing her to moan. I surged up, squeezing her rear with both hands as I hopped off of the bed. Her legs automatically locked around my back as I stood and our faces were once again bright mere inches from one another.

“Do it, Naomi.” She breathed, her voice like liquid sugar in my horny ears, “Fuck me so hard that that Devil can hear my screams all the way across the street as that massive prick makes me into a drooling mess.”

“I'm pretty sure that our neighbors would have something to say about that.” My grip on her ass tightened hard enough to leave bright red marks on her pale skin, “But I don't give a shit. Get ready, Miyo. I'm not gonna hold back!”

“Good! Don't hold–ah!” Miyo's words were cut off by a moan as I began to slam into her earnestly, bouncing her up and down on my cock as if she was made for the task. Her moans turned into groans and then full on screams as I sped up doing exactly as I promised and fucking her as hard as I could.

It was late and our neighbors were probably asleep or at least making their way there, but unless Miyo's cacophony of pleasure was some sort of lullaby to them, they weren't getting there anytime soon. I fucked my woman fast and hard, holding nothing back as I slammed up and against the velvety walls of her pussy, eager to reapply their daily coat of pearly white paint.

As Miyo clung to me like a starving koala, I painstakingly out one foot in front of the other, making my way towards the window facing the street and the Devil who I could still feel all the way across the street. I stopped in front of it, letting the whole world see what I was doing, to witness the carnal act that Miyo and I were embracing wholesale. I knew that if Miyo was in her right mind, she wouldn't want to be shown like this, but I also knew that our street was empty enough at this time of day that nobody was around to care. Anyone except that Devil.

I put on a show, slapping Miyo's peach-shaped rear and squeezing her plump cheeks. I bent down and slipped one of her nipples into my mouth, sucking on it happily as she hissed in my ear before pulling back to rest my head on her shoulder, staring straight at where I felt the demonic presence.

I couldn't read their emotions through their magic but I could tell that whatever they were feeling, they were feeling it intensely. Their magic was fluctuating like rippling water as they watched us fuck, and that was all I needed to know that they had their eyes glued to the show.

Satisfied that they were indeed watching, I turned my attention away from them and to the beautiful woman in my arms instead. Feeling like I had neglected her enough, I began to make up for it by treating Miyo the way I knew she liked. A toy, but a well-loved one.

I slowed down and made my thrusts a bit more deliberate, methodical instead of forceful. I focused on the spots that I knew she was weakest in, those little sensitive bundles of nerve hiding under the surface that made her go crazy. At the same time, I moved my hands to her hips, gently squeezing them in the way I knew she liked.

Miyo's moans turned into desperate mewls and squeaks as she shoved her head into my shoulder and I knew she was close. She leaned up, pulling her head out of my shoulder and slamming her lips into mine hard enough to make me see starts, and as our tongues baffled for dominance, we came together.

 My cum rushed inside her as her walls squeezed down around me. My thrusts slowed to a crawl and she rolled her hips on my thigh, desperately trying to milk me for all that I was worth. I staggered backwards, falling back onto the bed as I held her close to me and filled her to the brim. 

Even as the cum stopped flowing, our tongues didn't stop dancing as we swapped from having passionate sex to simply making out. I spent a moment to recover, just relishing the feeling of my woman's body against my own. I could feel her heartbeat thudding against her chest, could taste sweat on her lips and smell her juices in the air. It turned me on even more than the show I had put on moments before.

I pulled away from her and gave her a hungry look, before flipping the woman over in one rough motion. Miyo stared up at me, startled and oh-so beautiful as her hair haloed her flushed face. I growled, the sound reverberating deep in my throat, before parting her legs with a single hand.

My cum flowed out of her like a river but I didn't care. I placed my head to those swollen lips and thrust forward without any preamble, splitting her apart as I prepared to go all over again.

“Already?” Miyo moaned out, seeming surprised by my eagerness. I just leaned forward, nipping at her neck as I thrust into her and she let out a sigh, “I can already tell I'm going to be work out tomorrow. You need to hurry and find another partner so I can use my legs properly on the days after you get like this.”

I leaned away from her, licking my lips and tasting her sweat on my teeth. I grinned, “I might actually be on top of that at the moment.” I said, recalling the words and intentions of a certain pigtailed pervert. Aika was a normal human so she probably couldn't handle everything, but having someone to blow off a little steam with besides Miyo would give the woman a chance to rest. The fact that a girl like her probably had all sorts of freaky ideas didn't hurt either.

Putting it out of my mind for now, I shook my head, grinning down at Miyo like I was about to devour her in a different way. I groped one of her massive tits, kneading it roughly and drawing a melodious moan, “For now though, I think I'll enjoy being on top of you.”

As I began fucking my maid into the mattress, I cast my senses out, mentally gazing across the street for our little voyeur. They were still there.

That weekend, Miyo and I made our way deep into the woods surrounding Kuoh, trekking far enough away from the town that nobody would bother us, even by accident. We had been back for a little over a week at this point which meant that it was time to continue my training, and this time we were moving onto a subject that was a bit more dangerous, hence the need for secrecy: Magic.

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t excited, and Miyo clearly picked up on that as she watched me practically bounce up and down in anticipation. “Someone’s eager.” She said wryly, and I gave her a huge grin in response.

“Duh! It’s freaking magic dude! Who wouldn’t be excited to learn how to fling fireballs and shit out of their hands.” I mimed a casting gesture, blasting an invisible spell towards the treeline. Complete with the appropriate sound effects, of course. Miyo rolled her eyes at my childishness but I could detect the hint of a smile on her face.

“Let’s start with learning to access your magical well before we move on to fireballs, yes? Otherwise you might just conjure one up inside of your body and I don’t think either of us particularly want that.” She said, making me freeze and slowly turn my head towards her.

I swallowed nervously, “Can that actually happen?”

“Who knows?” Miyo shrugged, making me deflate, “But just in case, we’ll be beginning with the basics. No need for avoidable accidents.”

“Right. Good call.” 

“Now then, before we begin, we need to focus on figuring out your method of casting. Humans like myself have to create complex magical formulas in our minds to use even the most basic spells. There is an entire subsect of the Church dedicated to fostering the talents of magicians over years of intense study for that exact reason. Since you are technically a dragon though, it’s entirely possible that you can bypass the need for that sort of thing altogether.”

“I hope so.” I said with a shiver. Having to do calculus or whatever in my head just to cast a tiny magic spell sounded like absolute torture. If that’s how this was gonna go, then I’d just stick to my chains.

“Close your eyes and focus.” Miyo guided and I followed her without hesitation, plunging the world into darkness as my eyes slipped shut. “Feel around inside yourself for the well of mana deep inside yourself. Everyone’s feels different. My own feels like a lake of rippling water, cooling me on a hot summer’s day, but I doubt yours would be anything like that. Just search for what feels right.”

I did as she instructed, focusing inside of myself as if I was trying to enter my inner world but not quite. I rooted around in my soul like I was a kid searching a toy chest for something to play with and after a moment, I found something. 

There was the energy of my Sacred Gear, a yawning abyss of darkness that seemed to go on for absolutely forever, but right beside it, almost hidden by the intensity of Abyss Eater and the being trapped inside of it, was something else. It was smaller but more familiar, like it was a part of me rather than just being tacked onto my soul

I focused on that feeling, treating it like I would my chains as I dragged it out of me, manifesting it into the world. Only instead of slipping through my body and into my hands as I wanted, it surged through my chest and up my throat, burning like bile.

“Naomi?” Miyo looked concerned as my eyes snapped open and my cheeks bloated. “Are you alright?”

My only response was a rumbling growl that sounded like the world's deepest burp. My mouth burst open and a stream of bright purple flames surged from my lips, just barely missing Miyo as the woman jumped out of the way. 

My fiery breath bathed the world a deep midnight as they passed the woman by and flew into the forest beyond her. Despite their bright colors, the flames weren't hot at all. They didn't burn and scorch the forest as I recklessly turned them in that direction, instead they seemed to suck the life out of the woods themselves.

Everywhere the flames touched, decay seemed to follow, as if death itself had swiped a hand across the landscape, taking whatever life was present with him. Wood and leaves rotted in an instant and insects fell out of the air. Birds fell from their nests, unconscious or dead, and even the grass on the ground was stripped of life and rendered barren and yellow.

By the time I managed to force my jaws closed, I had done an amazing job of furthering the deforestation agenda. A house-sized patch of forest had been reduced to flat land covered in rotten, fallen logs and dead leaves. I burped and a puff of smoke came out of my nostrils, making my nose crinkle.

“I didn't mean to do that.” I coughed, rubbing my raw throat as Miyo walked up beside me to examine the devastation.

“No, I imagine not.” She said as she bent down and picked up a crumbling leaf that had been green and full of life just a few seconds ago. “I guess this answers the question of whether or not you can breathe fire. If you could even call it that. It looks like Nidhogg’s proclivity for devouring life is present in his flames as well.”

“You say that, but I  don’t feel all that energized.”

“Well these were only plants. It’s possible they just don’t have enough life in them to actually bolster you in a noticeable way.” Miyo postulated, before shaking her head, “Still, as impressive as that was, it wasn’t what we were looking for. Let’s try it again.”

I nodded and closed my eyes again, feeling around for the power just like I had before. I tried to bend it to my will, direct it towards my arms, but it didn’t even entertain the notion of listening to me and I had to hold my mouth closed with both hands as flames started to lick at my throat a moment later.

Subsequent attempts went about as well as that one. Every time I tried to access my magical reserves, I got fire instead. If I didn’t have the forethought to try and keep my mouth shut, I was sure we’d be catching the eyes of any park rangers that might have been in the vicinity. As it was, I incinerated/rotted a couple more trees, a few dozen bushes, and a rabbit that happened to stray too close to my fire before we decided to call it quits.

“I don't think this is going to work.” I said as I swallowed down my latest attempt as well as my disappointment. Purple flames licked at my shoe and I stomped them out.

Miyo studied me, holding a hand to her chin, “Hmm… If you can't even access your latent magic without burning everything in front of you, then I'm afraid there's not much I can teach you.”

My disappointment was immeasurable, “So I can't learn magic?”

“I didn't say that.” Miyo chided, “You just need to figure out how to get past this block and use your magic for something other than breathing fire. I don't think I'll be of much help there considering how much your physiology has changed, but perhaps someone else might be of more use.”

It took me a second to catch her meaning, “The Devils? You think I should ask them for help?”

“It couldn't hurt.” Miyo said, “Their magic is more like your own than mine is. Humans don't have an instinctual knowledge of magic like the supernatural races so I'm not really sure how to help you with this.”

Well that sucked. I thought about her suggestion and decided that she might be onto something. Devils were born with magic unlike humans who had to learn and develop it through years of practice. Sona or Rias might be able to help me get a hold on whatever was going on with me.

Miyo raised a hand and a ball of water, coalesced above her palm, lengthening and flattening into a saber which she pointed at me in challenge, “That being said, we’ve walked all the way out here and I’m not one to waste time. Get that blade out. We’re sparring now. If you do well enough, I might let you have some fun before we head back.”

Her words lifted my mood considerably. My newly christened sword, Kijin, appeared in my hand alongside Abyss Eater, and I twirled the weapon with a happy sigh.

“You always know just what to say to cheer me up.”

“Don't get too excited. I'm not planning on making it easy for you.” Miyo said as she dashed forward, slashing at me with her flowing blade. I danced backwards, swiping Kijin through the air in my wake to keep her from following.

“That's more than fine with me.” I grinned as I pointed the black blade in her direction, "A succulent meal tastes even better after a long hunt, after all.”

~~~

The following Monday, I decided to follow up on Miyo's advice and pay the Devils a visit to see if they could help me get a handle on my magic. Knowing that Sona was probably busy considering it was the middle of the school day, I decided to skip the student council altogether and pay the little supernatural club out back a visit.

I knocked on the door to the ORC. They must have seen me coming or sensed me outside because the moment I stopped knocking, someone called from inside, telling me to enter.

Rias and Akeno were the only two inside, sitting beside one another on a couch with a bunch of papers spread out on the table before them. They looked up as I walked in and seemed almost surprised to see me. “Oh, Naomi! What are you doing here?”

“Hey Rias, Akeno.” I nodded at the Queen who gave me a light smile, “I need some help with an issue I’m having and I figured you guys were the ones to come to.”

Rias and Akeno seemed curious about my request. They looked to one another before Rias moved her papers out of the way, folding them into a neat stack and setting them to the side. She then motioned to the other couch, “Please, sit and tell us what the issue is. I'd be more than happy to help.”

I raised an eyebrow even as I took a seat, “Awfully generous for someone you just met. Was the paperwork that boring.”

I hit the nail on the head. Rias rolled her eyes and let out a loud sigh, “Oh you have no idea.”

“Homework?” I queried and she shook her head, “Really? Then what is it?”

“Supernatural research reports.” she said, making me blink, “The Occult Research Club has to make several reports to the school board to prove that we're actually doing something. I like to get all my work for the month done at once so I don't have to worry about it.”

“Technically, we aren't even at school today.” Akeno said, “We called out so that we could take care of this and some other club duties that we've been holding off on doing.”

I guess being friends with the Student Council President gave them a bit of leeway when it came to attendance. Though taking a day of school just to do more stuff for school sounded kind of pointless in my opinion.

“Well I guess I'm glad I could give you a break then.” I said, “I was going to wait until after school but I don't think this'll take too long. I'm not even sure if you guys can really help with it.”

“We can still try. What's the issue?”

“I need help accessing my magic. I've been having some issues with getting it to do what I want, mostly anything not involving rotting or burning down whatever I'm looking at.”

The confusion on their faces led me to explain my conundrum. I told them about my fire breath that acted more like a miasmic vacuum cleaner for life itself and the problem I was facing turning it off. By the end of it, Rias seemed at a bit of a loss while Akeno had a contemplative look on her face.

“So do you think either of you could help me with that?” I asked as I finished my story. They were silent for a moment, sharing a look between themselves, before Rias spoke.

“I'm not sure I’d be the right person to help you. I'm not exactly well-versed when it comes to magic outside of my own, you see.” She seemed almost embarrassed to admit it, “Akeno might be able to help you though.”

I turned to the girl in question and she hummed, “What did it feel like when you were using your magic? Were you trying to breathe fire? Even a subconscious thought about doing it could be enough for your magic to take the reins and bring it into being.”

I shook my head, “No, I didn't even think I could do that until it happened. The moment I touched my magic and tried to pull it out like I do with my chains or Abyss Eater, it just came out of my throat.”

Akeno nodded as if she had expected that, “I see in that case, it sounds like your body is just naturally inclined to using magic to breathe fire. If you want to use it like the rest of us, you just need to suppress your natural instincts. It won't be easy, but it's possible.”

She said it like it was a certainty, as if she had already seen someone do it or even had experience herself. Unfortunately, I didn't have that experience and I wasn't even sure where to start. I doubted it was like suppressing my gag reflex when I brushed my teeth.

“Do you think you could help me with that?”

“Certainly.” Akeno smiled with strange intention, “We can do it after school today. That way we'll have all the time we need.”

While I was happy at the quick acceptance, Rias seemed to take issue with something she had said, directing a frown her way, “Akeno, we have to deal with that first, remember?”

Akeno blinked before a sheepish look crossed her face, “Oh dear. I'm sorry, Rias, I completely forgot. Naomi, we will have to do it another day.”

“What's going on? Something bad?” I asked, confused by the sudden shift.

Rias stared at me for a long moment, blue eyes lingering on my own. I could see her mind working behind her gaze, warring with herself about something I wasn't privy to. After a moment, she sighed, seemingly coming to a decision.

“Not exactly bad, just a little annoying. A Stray wandered into Kuoh last night and made a lair on the edge of town.” She revealed, “They don't seem especially powerful, but they're strong enough that I wouldn't feel comfortable sending Kiba or Koneko after them so I was going to have Akeno take care of it.”

“Without any backup?” I asked, a little disturbed that a Stray had gotten so close to my home without me realizing.

“Akeno is my Queen. I have faith in her ability to take care of it.” Rias said confidently, and I nodded slowly.

“Why don't I come too, then?” I suggested to their surprise, “I've already killed two Strays and I'm pretty damn strong too so I shouldn't slow her down. Even if you're powerful, it's always good to have someone to watch your back in a fight.”

Rias considered my offer, glancing at Akeno, “I don't see any issue with it. Do you, Akeno?”

“I’d be happy to have her along.” Akeno's voice dropped, becoming playful and almost sultry,  “As long as you think you can keep up with me.”

Her words and tone sent shivers up my spine and I carefully crossed my legs even as I returned her look, “I think I'll be able to manage. “
