11 demonizing

While Xu is in Janzo's lab Talon heads to Gwynn's place, only to see her nearly naked with an equally undressed Garrett kissing her on her bed.

"Talon." Gwynn says in shock.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt." Talon says bitterly.

"Wait Talon." Gwynn says, rushing after the leaving girl, catching her in the hallway.

"What is it Talon? Do you really care that I'm with Garrett?" Gwynn asks.

"No I'm upset just for the fun of it." Talon shoots back.

"Talon I don't understand. You have Xu, who is a great guy why do you care if I like Garrett?" Gwynn asks.

"I like Garrett alright? And you knew it already. Happy now?" Talon says before storming off.

"Talon wait!" Gwynn says desperate, but she's already gone.

|10 minutes later -smithy|

Talon enters the house angrily, tossing her weapons onto a bench in the room before kicking a chair over.

She then feels cold steel press against her throat and hears Dredd say, "time to die black blood."

Before the man can slice her throat however Xu enters the smithy.

"You're that freak from before. Even better I get to kill the black blood and indulge in my revenge. If you don't want me to kill Talon now, then take her sword and slice open your stomach." Dredd demands venomously.

"Don't do it." Talon manages to get out before her voice is lost, seeing Xu grab her blade and impale himself on it.

"Hahaha. Finally some justice in this place." Dred says, laughing hard when he sees tears escape Talon's eyes.

While he's laughing however Xu stands up with a grunt and breaks the man's wrist with his larger hand, making him drop the knife to the floor and run away while Talon catches Xu, tears streaming down her face.

"Don't die you hear? Don't die Xu." Talon shouts panicking and trying to keep Xu from pulling out the sword, which he does however, her strength not being enough to stop him.

"Xu, no!" Talon screams when he passes out.

The next thing shocks the black blooded girl, seeing black blood goop out of his wound before it's covered by skin which looks like a Lo-Quiri

"Arghh." Xu shouts in pain, feeling as though his wounds are burning him alive.

"Talon, no. I love you." He groans out, having some kind of fever dream.

"Xu. I... I'm so sorry." She cries, hugging the collapsed man with all her might.

"Talon, are you here? Janzo asks, entering her home.

"Janzo. Can you help him?" Talon begs, still holding the wounded, unconscious warrior.

"Move." Janzo says, rushing to their side quickly and checks on Xu's wounds, cleaning them, but he and Talon are shocked when the black skin covering his stomach starts to spread like nothing they've ever seen.

"What is happening?" Talon asks.

"I don't know!" Janzo shouts, Wei transforming more and more into a Lu-Quiri, until he looks like a full-fledged Lu-Quiri with some minor differences, like 5 mid-sized claws instead of one long one on each hand, no extra appendages on his shoulders and a brown glowing visible on the back of his neck.

"Grahh!" Talon and Janzo hear the changed Xu shout out, while jumping to his feet, towering above them.

He looks at his clawed hand and feels his head, where he now has horns and an insect like mouth. Looking down at his friends his expression softens, changing from shock and anger to fear.

When he tries to speak only a clacking is heard.

"We can't understand you. Are you still Xu?" Talon asks.

Receiving a nod from the demon.

"Do you know what happened or how you can change back?" Talon asks, receiving a head shake 'no' in response.

"Janzo. What are we going to do?" Talon asks the genius staring at Xu.

"I don't know." Janzo sighs.

'I'll leave.' Xu carves into the floorboard of the smithy.

"No. Don't leave like this." Talon says, trying to grab onto him to hold him back, but he simply continues walking towards the smithy's door.

"Stop. Don't go!" Talon orders in her native tongue, making him stop and shake, before roaring at Talon and Janzo once, leaving while holding his head.

"What did you say?" Janzo asks.

"The same. I asked him to stay." Talon says, looking at the broken-out floorboard with Xu's claw's writing on it.

"What now?" Janzo asks.

"I don't know anymore. He was always who was always there for me." Talon says sadly.

"He wanted to leave anyways because of you and Garrett." Janzo informs Talon.

"There is no me and Garrett. That was made clear when he was sucking face with Gwynn." Talon says.

About an hour later Talon is finishing packing her stuff to chase after Xu when Garrett barges in.

"You heard already? Good come on. We'll get Dredd back on that execution platform." Garrett says.

"No." Talon replies.

"What do you mean no?" Garrett asks.

"I mean I'm not going. I'm going looking for Xu." Talon tells him.

"Xu disappeared." Garrett asks surprised.

"Yeah. He hurt himself to protect me from Dredd and now he's gone." Talon says.

"Dredd was here? How long ago?" Garrett asks.

"About 2 hours ago, maybe less." Talon replies.

"We can still catch him. Join us." Garrett tries again.

"No. Xu needs me." Talon says stoically.

"Xu needs no one. He's strong enough to kill us all barehanded." Garrett says.

"Not when he's like this. I already abandoned him once when I didn't try to rescue him from that sea monster." Talon replies.

"Fine have it your way." Garrett scoffs.

"I don't understand you. One moment you seem to want to kiss me and the next you're focused on Xu." Garrett tells Talon as she passes by him.

"I don't understand either." Talon says, looking back at him, the strong emotions for the man seemingly no longer present.

"Talon, I'm sorry about Dredd. I don't know exactly what happened, but someone must've helped him escape." Gwynn apologizes, seeing the black blood about to leave the outpost ahead of Garrett and his men.

"I'm not going after Dredd." Talon says.

"Then where are you off to?" Gwynn asks confused.

"Xu disappeared. I have to find him and apologize." Talon replies.

"What happened? Something between you and Garrett?" Gwynn asks.

"Nothing like you think, but yeah Garrett and my interactions probably didn't help in keeping Xu calm and safe when he needed it." Talon says.

"I hope you find him and bring him back. He's a good man." Gwynn tells Talon.

"He is. And I'll try to do what I can to make him come back." Talon replies before leaving the Outpost and goes looking for any Lu-Quiri tracks around the Outpost.

Almost a whole day later, when the sun is starting to set Talon finds Xu, having followed his Lu-Quiri tracks all across the forest around the outpost until finding him sleeping inside a cave, human once again.

"Xu." Talon says, gently shaking the man awake, with him only having some rags of his former clothes wrapped around his waist.

"Ta-talon?" He asks with a groan, looking towards the person kneeling besides him.

"Yes, you idiot. What were you thinking leaving like that?" She says, sitting down next to him, putting a hand on his arm.

"You tried to control me." Xu says hurt.

"I don't want you to leave. I need you." Talon tells him.

"You don't. You have friends. And Garrett." He says.

"Xu, it isn't like that. I only told you that I kissed Garrett, because I have been feeling different around him and didn't want to hurt you more if I decided to act on those feelings." Talon confesses, squeezing his hand.

"So? Then go to him and have a normal life." Xu says, taking his hand back and turns away from her.

"Can you not forgive me for falling for his charms? He only flirted with me to keep me around as second prize anyways." Talon asks worried.

"If it were anyone but Garrett I would without a thought, but there always was something going on between you two so it's hard to not feel like I'm your disfigured second prize." Xu says, sounding rather vulnerable, something she only has seen once before when she touched his greyskin covered back.

"Is that what this is about? You think I don't love you because of your ability?" Talon asks caringly.

"You don't." Xu simply sighs.

"Xu. I do like you a whole lot in fact. And you turning into a greyskin or a Lu-Quiri doesn't change that. It makes me worry about you, but not love you any less." Talon tells him, forcefully rolling him onto his back and grabbing onto his head while straddling his large body.

"I don't know why this is happening either. I mean I was ecstatic to finally be able to show my back to someone again, only to have the greyskin to come back and now I'm becoming a demon even." He says confused, staring at the rock ceiling.

"Look at me. Xu, I don't care that you change forms as long as you are still yourself on the inside. Plus it seems like after you sleep you turn back human." She says, poking one of his pecks.

"Maybe. I don't understand it." Xu says, keeping the eye contact.

"Did you know what would happen when Dredd asked you to kill yourself?" Talon asks.

"No, I was hop..." He says, before Talon interrupts him, kissing him passionately while raking through his dark hair.

"No one has ever done something like that for me." She says tearing up.

"That's not true. I jumped into a guillotine for you before, remember." He jokes, caressing her face, brushing the tears away.

"Xu, is there still a chance for us?" Talon asks him in a mixture of hope and worry.

Xu stares back into her brown eyes for a while, before answering "definitely."

Talon smiles at this and ruffles through his hair, telling him "that was torture."

"Then consider us even." He says, caressing her arm and plays with her braid.

"Braidy." He adds with a smirk.

"Thanks desert dope." She replies, leaning just in front of his lips.

"Desert dope eh? Well, can't say it's not fitting." Xu says, grabbing her waist and rolls them around so he's leaning above her.

|lemon|

"So, is Garrett gone from your mind?" He asks, kissing her neck and licking over her scarred ear tip.

"Not yet." Talon says, biting her lip.

"How about now?" He asks, his strong hand roaming over the side of her belly.

"Not yet." She gasps, grabbing the arm hard while closing her eyes in delight.

"Now?" Xu asks with a light growl, kissing down her throat and pulls open her leather jacket slowly.

"More." She says, wrapping her legs around his waist or at least as much of it as possible.

Xu slides the other hand up from her stomach, rolling her dirty white shirt up until its bunched across her breasts.

He then leans up a bit, pulling the clothing off her, revealing her perky breasts and stiff pink nipples to him.

He looks at her wordlessly as to ask 'Now?'

Talon shakes her head and unzips her pants, reluctantly removing her legs from around him. Xu then stands up, pulling her with him and presses her against a cold stone wall in the cave with her wiggling off her pants and boots with some difficulty.

"One downside of your tight pants huh? Though the view is amazing I have to admit." Xu breathes in her ear, one hand wrapping around her and slipping into her undergarments, groping her erotic ass before tugging them off as well, with Talon returning the favor afterwards, displaying impressive flexibility by hooking her foot into his bundle of rags and sliding them off."

"Now he's gone from my mind." She says coyly, starting to stroke his member while looking into his eyes.

"Good." Xu replies, lifting her up effortlessly and puts her legs over his shoulders, holding her in front of him, her crotch against his face while he supports the turned-on girl by her ass and lower back.

"God yes Xu! Who knew you're this talented." Talon moans, almost ripping out his hair.

"Well, stick around and you can get to know a whole other side of me, which you awakened all those weeks ago." Xu tells her, burying his tongue in her pussy.

"Mhhh. Right there, yes." Talon moans, her feet twitching happily behind Xu while he is eating her out, supporting the woman on his shoulder and pressing her back against a rock formation.

"You taste amazing, wonder if that's a black blood thing." Xu compliments her with a smirk.

"Who knows." Talon huffs back, throwing back her head when the tall warrior sneaks one hand to her entrance, starting to finger her while kissing along her thighs.

"Yeahhh, that's the spot!" Talon announces loudly when Xu's rough fingers slide along her inner walls, grazing over an especially sensitive spot.

"Right here, huh?" He asks, moving his two fingers back to the spot, putting more pressure on it while flicking her clit.

"Ngghh , oh my god!" Talon shouts, having an orgasm with her juices freely flowing down Xu's hand and her waist buckling.

Xu then lifts her off his shoulder, licking some of her juices of his hand and wraps his arms around his lover, kissing her passionately with one hand squeezing her behind again while the other is brushing through her long hair.

"What's with you and my ass?" She asks, chuckling erotically.

"It's an amazing ass." Xu replies and lifts her against his front, Talon wrapping her legs around his back before releasing him again when Xu laid her down on the floor, kneeling in front of her pussy with his large cock trembling in anticipation.

"Eager as always I see." Talon says coyly.

"For you everytime." He pants, kissing her.

During their lip lock he angles his member so he can easily push into her and does just that, making Talon's hands rake over his shoulders, leaving red marks.

"You are tighter than last time." He groans, running one hand down her front while staying sheathed inside her.

"I need it more too. I just want you to know how much you mean to me." She tells him, taking the hand now resting against her fit belly and makes him palm her sizeable breasts.

"Your touch drives me crazy." Talon gasps when he starts groping her bosom and pinching her hard nipples.

"Good. I guess that means we're compatible." He says, pulling out and pushing back into her once.

"Yes we are!" She shouts in approval.

"Why are you stopping she asks confused when Xu doesn't move at all, just staring at her for a few seconds.

"I'm appreciating the view. You are so perfect." He says, leaning down to her and lightly bites and nibbles on her shoulder and neck while slowly fucking her pussy.

"Yes. Xu, I'm yours. I need you so much." Talon squeals in pleasure.

"I feel incomplete without you by my side as well." Xu grunts, his hips steadily clashing against hers.

"Harder Xu. Harder." She requests with a pant and her muscular lover complies, his thrusts becoming stronger and quicker, her breasts bouncing with every thrust and he quickly latches onto one of her breasts with his mouth, kissing as much as he can of her cleavage.

"Talon I'm going to cum soon." He moans.

"Go ahead." Talon moans, slinging her legs around him while he's furiously fucking her welcoming entrance until he freezes in place and erupts inside her with a loud grunt.

After his eruption he pulls out of her, still hard as a rock and caresses her face, rubbing his cock against her thigh.

"That feels amazing. I hope you can go a few more rounds?" Talon asks breathing heavily and sweat covering her entire form.

"For you, always." He repeats cockily and inserts himself into her sensitive pussy again, making her loudly shout her approval.
