Twin (R18+)

On the night before the implosion...

Claire and Jinrai coordinated together in Aries to initiate the mission on the rooftop of Claire's safehouse in secrecy. Borrowing his equipment from Sunlight, Claire used all odds to transmit a signal to Ryo and Natia while Jinrai remained by the edge of the rooftop, sipping on an alcoholic beverage idlely. Occasionally, while Claire utilized the communicator, Jinrai would turn his head around to examine her from a distance with an observant attitude. A multitude of questions reflected off of his mind toward the shimmering puddle beside his feet whenever Claire made note of his distant stares, pretending to not observe her when their gazes collided with one another.

"Disguises on, and communicators off, then," Claire initiated through the communicator to Ryo and Natia regarding their mission inside the Meister's Casino. "Good luck, you two." Without another word, Claire deactivated the Sunlight communicator and stood up from the ground. Adorned in a violet-colored strapped satin ruched dress, Claire approached Jinrai with caution. Her black heels clicked against the rooftop floors, hoping to drag Jinrai's attention. It failed.

"Why are you looking at me so much?" Claire asked, coming face to face with Jinrai beside the railing. "Is there something on your mind?"

Jinrai scoffed, taking another sip of his alcoholic beverage before looking into Claire's smokey and contoured eyes. She had a sizable amount of makeup on her face, prepared for her entrance to the party that she described earlier for their mission objective. "Yes, there is." He admitted, placing his drink on the edge of a small decorative pillar.

"Very well," Claire said. "Care to share?"

"I think it's all too convenient," Jinrai explained, turning himself around to lay his back on the railings. His eyes never left Claire's. "Ryo Nakai and Natia are not as observant. The fact that you know more about the Jester than anyone else around here. It's all too convenient. So, I'd like you to tell me the truth."

"Well..." Claire began, cocking her head back after being struck with Jinrai's verbalization, half accusation. "As a Seraphian, we're quite knowledgeable about the people of Kathuz. I was handling affairs directly from a leadership role, and I studied the underground to know more about its structures. The Jester happened to be one of the subjects that I studied as a Seraphian." She explained.

Jinrai chuckled and gazed up at the sky. "Ah, the ole' Seraphian excuse. Never gets old," He said, pushing himself off of the railing playfully. He swept his palms together to rid the dust on them and straightened his iridescent gangster-styled bomber jacket. "You may try to use that excuse on me, but it'll never work. It doesn't explain why you have a VIP-exclusive pass to the party she'd likely attend, or how you know the Jester's top visitation spots around Kathuz."

"It's part of my research," Claire said, curving her head sideways in question. "Are you doubting my skills, or are you accusing me of something?"

"Not your skills, and not just something," Jinrai stated, facing her entirely with a keen expression. "The whole schtick with the Jester is that no one ever sees her except those high above her. Therefore, the only way you'd be able to know exactly where the Jester is commonly frequented is if you were the Jester, or if you were related to her in some way. Now, I strongly believe that the first option isn't possible, or you would have attempted in taking my life knowing that I'm the only one capable of ending your tyranny. But I know that's not the case, you see. So, I'll have to go with option two."

"Option... two?" Claire voiced out, processing all that Jinrai had explained in several seconds with his quick speaking.

"Yes, option two," Jinrai repeated, approaching Claire with his slow, yet evocative walking to close the distance between them. He placed his hand beside the railing next to Claire and pressed his face closer to hers. "Claire Tianne Waters. You were part of her. You knew her, didn't you?"

Claire's mouth hung widely as she was appalled by Jinrai's accusation. Her heels were rooted into the ground like mystical tree trunks. Her frozen eyebrows raised upward, but even she could not deny it. She released her tense worries all at once, dropping her act with a sigh. Her eyelids lowered themselves as she clung to the railing with her sweaty palms. Claire blinked rapidly, lowering her head toward the railing. Lush winds breezed through her blonde bob haircut. "It seems I underestimated your ability as a special operative from a police task force," She admitted. "And for you to accuse me in such manner... is laughable."

"What can I say? I like playing with fire. Taking risks is my job." Jinrai said.

"Even if those risks are accusations without sufficient evidence?" Claire asked. "You're a clever man, Jinrai. But even so, a man like you should know his limits."

"I have no limits," Jinrai replied, gazing off into the distance. "Not for someone who plays dangerous games with someone they have no responsibility for. To torture yourself endlessly like this, searching for someone without a name; there must be a reason behind it all," He looked back at her. "And you will do your duty and tell me."

Claire paused, gazing below the tavern and soaking in the reality of the plague beneath her. She closed her eyes and pressed her lips together. "It is not my duty to tell you. This is my responsibility. She... is my responsibility," Claire regretfully stated. "I must be the one to kill her."

"You have no allies, do you?" Jinrai mentioned. "Those Seraphians from above abandoned you and your mission. They lost faith in you. You're all alone in this."

"I don't care. Once I kill the Jester, I will be free." Claire said.

"Look at you, getting all dramatic," Jinrai teased, edging himself next to her. "I reckon you two had a terrible past, then. I'm not saying you have to tell me why, but... putting all the responsibility on yourself is foolish."

"You're foolish for trusting me, then," Claire said, brushing her shoulder against Jinrai's chest. "I've learned that in the real world, you can't trust anyone until all of your enemies are dead. For a life like mine, I'll always have enemies."

"Yet you trust me," Jinrai said. "You trust me enough to stand beside me to tell me all of this. You trust Ryo Nakai and Natia enough to tell us this."

"Yes, you're right," Claire said, looking back at him. She curved her waist to the side and gazed deeply into his eyes, pondering her desires. "I trust them. But there's something about you that makes me wonder why you, out of all people, would trust me so easily. I am a Seraphian, clearly with a history with the Jester."

"And that is all you are," Jinrai mentioned. "Which means you've always been alone."

Claire rotated herself, turning away from Jinrai. "I've reached a terminus in my life," She whispered. "I don't need allies. And if you are so quick to involve yourself in my life without understanding your priorities, I consider you my enemy for making such accusations toward me."

"Then so be it," Jinrai said, redirecting his palms onto Claire's waist as she turned away. Like invisible magnets attracting one another, his impulse desire to set Claire's jaded soul free escaped his physicality. He found his hands caressing Claire's waist and torso. Locked in an endless war between trust and companionship, Jinrai's urge to end the endless transpired as lust dwelled in his mind.

But it was not lusting alone. Her reticent, half-hostile, diffident, and mysterious personality revived his memory of the soulmate that he had once protected. Claire's voice and her beliefs were exactly the opposite of what she had been, and it enticed Jinrai to seek further.

While Jinrai had been caressing Claire's slender body, she released her longing anticipation for companionship as well, exhaling through her mouth ecstatic pleasure. She pulled herself back against Jinrai's warm torso and pelvis, letting her body seductively run freely through his grasp with no holds barred. Her heart beat dramatically faster as her silky skin delicately brushed off against Jinrai's. Her palms spread wide open and moved behind her neck, wrapping onto Jinrai's jet-black hair and his waist. She slowly shut her eyelids and wanted nothing more than to be with someone who truly cared for her, a divine request fulfilled.

Claire broke free from Jinrai's grasp and turned her body around. The lavender scent of Claire's perfume entered Jinrai's nostrils as she swept backward. Her hurried manner only aroused Jinrai further, making him realize that she wanted companionship as much as he did to fill in the void of their corrupt hearts. She puffed out a breath of minty air into Jinrai's nose as she dove her face forward towards his. Her soft and tenderly glossed lips connected with Jinrai's, and all of the worries in her isolated lifestyle had escaped through their inescapable connection. The two of them passionately kissed as they remembered the worst of their days, seeking desperately to change it no matter the cost.

Jinrai's large hands threaded through Claire's silky and lustrous blonde bob hair. Each intricate blossom of her hair tickled his palms, drawing him closer to her. The fragrant scent of her lavender-perfumed body, combined with the sugary sweetness of her lips only aroused him even further. She delicately placed her palm on Jinrai's muscular chest as she continued kissing him, eventually transitioning into a French kiss as their tongues intertwined with another. Her fingers brushed over his chest, longing, and longing to go further. The breath from their nostrils bounced off of each other as they pulled each other back, still confined together with an affectionate binding grasp.

"You're making a mistake," Claire seductively whispered as her sultry violet-colored cat-like eyes slyly gazed down at Jinrai's lips and facial features. "Don't you understand? You'll forever be my enemy if you trust me. All I do... is hurt, just like I did to the Jester."

"I don't care if you're my enemy," Jinrai whispered back, caressing her blonde hair with a firm grip on her slender body. "If I have to kill the Jester myself to set you free from these restrictions that you call a life, then so be it. Nobody deserves to live a self-torturous life like yours. I want to change that. That's why I want you."

"To decide this yourself in this very moment... is foolish of you," Claire said, eyeing the tightened buttons on his suit. "Then again... I am a fool for this," She began unbuttoning his white dress shirt one button and a time, biting her lower lip as she longed for her escape from her hell. "I want you closer to me. Cut out the pain from my life, Jinrai. Make me whole again."

Jinrai lightly smiled as he watched Claire's fingers delicately touch his bare and exposed chest. He looked up into Claire's sultry eyes, only to lean forward enough so that their noses touched. "And how do you figure?" He asked.

"I want you to kiss me," Claire whispered into his ear after brushing her cheek against his. "Take me inside... and kiss me."

"As you wish, love." Jinrai's final soft words were all that Claire could hear before he lifted her into the air beneath her thighs to transfer her back inside her safe house. They entered Claire's luxuriously clean and well-maintained bedroom, where they seated themselves on the edge of her queen-sized bed. Lightly orchid-scented candles illuminated the room dimly as Claire positioned herself on top of Jinrai's lap on the edge of the bed. The darkness of her room added to her mysteriousness and their overall freedom to do whatever it is that they wanted to.

As Claire nestled herself between Jinrai's legs, she began unraveling the straps of the violet dress around her shoulders. Jinrai sensually caressed her hips and lifted his hands toward her breasts, kneading and cupping them together. His large hands covered the entirety of her breasts as he continued palming and squeezing them, rotating them in a circular motion. Claire's mouth opened wide as she moaned softly in pure ecstasy. The both of them groaned in unison as Jinrai pulled the tips of her nipples to tease her even further.

Jinrai pushed his head forward until he met Claire's neck, kissing her pale skin as he continued fondling her breasts. Claire rolled her eyes toward the ceiling, lost in passion as Jinrai's unbelievably tender hands continued kneading her breasts, intimately connecting them further together. After indulging in such pleasure from his advancing movements, Claire lifted her dress to reveal her black laced lingerie. She began rotating her curvaceous ass on Jinrai's crotch, prompting him to remove his black long pants to reveal his aroused cock.

The mere reaction of Claire's soft and fervent moan, combined with her surprised expression toward Jinrai's actions made her pull her lingerie aside to reveal her bare ass. She groped Jinrai's cock and slid it in between her smooth and large buttocks, rubbing the base as her hips bounced up and down. Claire's intense moaning made Jinrai move alongside her; his hips moved passionately in tandem, dancing ardently with her in slow motion. While she could sense Jinrai's cock rubbing between her ass, she extended her arms backward and placed her palms on Jinrai's knees to give herself leverage.

"Oh my god..." Claire's seductive voice escaped her as her zeal for arousal increased dramatically. "I can't... I can't get enough. Don't... stop..." She said, yelping immediately after in passion.

Jinrai rotated her breasts even faster as Claire's head pulled backward. Her face pointed toward the ceiling as Jinrai continued rubbing her between her buttocks. Her slender, cute, and curvaceous body was lightweight and flexible, deeply arousing Jinrai even further. Her blonde bob hair bounced as Jinrai wrapped both of his arms around her torso for additional strength. His pectoral muscles connected with Claire's back as sweat began forming between them. The sound of their skin sliding and writhing only further increased their intensity.

Eventually, Claire moved away from Jinrai and kneeled underneath him. She placed one of her palms underneath his scrotum and her other hand around the shaft of his penis. Without hesitation, Claire's tongue started from the bottom of Jinrai's shaft and made its way to the tip, tickling him with each consecutive lick. Her heated breath reflected off of Jinrai's cock, turning him on even further. Claire extended her tongue until she could not anymore, covering Jinrai's penis with her saliva as she licked from bottom to top.

After kissing the tip rapidly, Claire giggled and continued stroking it firmly. "This is what you get for trusting me," She teased, placing his saliva-coated shaft between her kneaded breasts. She then squeezed them together and moved up and down while maintaining eye contact with Jinrai's eyes. "I can do more than I look."

"So can I," Jinrai said, placing both of his large hands behind Claire's head. He pushed her gaping mouth down to the tip of his cock as it rested between her breasts, jamming it in her mouth for a warm and tenderly suckle. Her wet tongue sloppily rotated around the tip of his penis as he thrust it upwards, soaking in the bliss of her breathy mouth with each thrust. For some as clear-minded and powerful to the mind as Jinrai, he had lost total control of Claire's serene and overly sexual advances.

"Your cock feels so good..." Claire moaned, swirling the tip of his penis with her tongue.

Claire basked his cock to the deepest point in her throat, triggering her gag reflex to release excess saliva. The sensation of his cock in her mouth made her want to persevere through it all. She allowed Jinrai to thrust it rapidly down her throat as she held her breath with her gag reflex triggering multiple times. Her eyes rolled back as she focused on giving Jinrai the greatest pleasure imaginable, realizing that she was the one who had lost their trust game.

She had given her responsibilities to someone else who wished to help her, which was something she never imagined herself doing. Now that she was together, as one, with someone who desperately wanted to make her see the truth, nothing held her back.

Claire released her mouth's grip on Jinrai's cock and chuckled at him, lifting herself back up toward him with saliva dripping down her chin. "I don't care what I am to you," She said. "But right now, I want you to fuck me."

"Claire..." Jinrai whispered, hugging her from behind.

"Fuck me right now," Claire said, turning herself and revealing her dripping wet and lubricated vagina blended next to her black sexy lingerie. She rubbed it against Jinrai's cock before slipping it down her vagina. Jinrai moaned loudly as Claire yelped in pleasurable pain, holding it to prevent any sudden movement. "Oh... my... god...!" She whispered, mouth agape. "You don't care, do you? You just want to have your way with me...! To have me release who I was to the Jester... all for this...?"

"I don't care about the Jester," Jinrai revealed, thrusting his hips until Claire's warm insides wrapped his penis like a blanket. He pulled her hair back until her shoulders reached his hardened and burly pectoral muscles. "I want you."

They spent the next minute indulging in an overload of sexual pleasure as Jinrai thrust his cock deep inside Claire. She bounced on him up and down like a pump, forgetting about all of her worries and focusing on the pleasure. Her breasts also bounced with each thrust, and Jinrai pulled on the tips of her hardened nipples with each movement.

Both of them moved together like they had fallen out of space and soared through the cotton clouds, conjoined as one.

"Don't stop...! Don't stop fucking me...!" Claire moaned as her back began drenching in sweat. "I'll be with you. I'll change. I'll change until we're both happy, Jinrai...!"

For Jinrai, their sex was not just for mere pleasure. It was a release of the bottled-up emotions that he had been storing as a special operative for Sunlight. He had a life of his own once, protecting the fiance that he had cared for so long. But he had lost his purpose and lived a life of pure isolation, focusing on his failures and erroneous decisions to drag him further into the abyss. For a moment, he could sense his heart connecting with Ryo's, hearing his words about his decision change his beliefs on the beach. He had also been lonely, relishing in his failures as a person before regaining the strength to fight again.

But even as a Sunlight operative, Jinrai still was clueless as to what he was fighting for. He was unsure of why his kindness and positivity even existed. Was it to shed a light of hope toward his successes rather than his failures, or so that no one could fall in the same ditch as he did before?

When Claire had arrived in Jinrai's life, the mere sight of her made him think twice. As while he knew more about her, he began reflecting upon his life. Despite their little time spent together, their first sight of each other was a connection filled with the qualities of a savior. To save each other was their goal, and that is what they had accomplished together.

Now that he had understood what it meant to be alive, and to focus on his successes, Jinrai's strength returned. His determination to protect Claire, Ryo, and Natia while fighting for those he loved returned. His motivation to mentor Ryo returned, and his motivation to treat Natia equally returned.

He had returned. The real Jinrai, without a lonely shell or husk to drag him down.

Jinrai and Claire swapped positions with each other slowly and passionately. Claire closed her eyes as her stomach was facing downward. Jinrai prone down against her ass and thrust deeply inside, feeling everything that Claire had to release.

"I'll protect you," Jinrai said as he continued moving. "I..."

"I love you," Claire whispered, looking back at his face as her ass pointed up against him. "I love you, Rai."

"R-Rai...?" Jinrai heard Claire's sudden nickname, enveloping it down his ears and fueling him based on how adorable and random it was. He thrust his cock inside her even faster, kneading her ass with his gigantic palms.

"Rai...! Rai...!" Claire continued moaning. "I'm cumming. I'm cumming...!"

"Me too...!" Jinrai yelled, pulling his cock out of Claire's soaking vagina. He ejaculated part of his pent-up semen on her face as she quickly turned around to embrace it all. She placed his penis inside her mouth and began swallowing it all, leaving none of it to waste.

Minutes passed as they lay in bed immediately after, cuddling affectionately. Claire nuzzled her head against Jinrai's arm as they began recovering their energy. Jinrai lowered his tall stature down from the bed and kissed Claire on the forehead.

"Rai," Claire whispered with her eyes closed. Her body exuded extreme warmness as she embraced Jinrai's bare body with her own. "Thank you... for showing me the truth about myself and how stubborn I was," She said. "I don't want to be alone anymore."

"You won't be. I'm here with you," Jinrai reassured, stroking her blonde hair. "I'll... I'll train Ryo Nakai and Natia after we find the Jester. I'll apologize for everything I've done... to him and that girl," He referenced April. "And... I'll finish this, with you and them."

Claire lifted her head and cheered silently with a bright, optimistic smile. "Okay," She said. "And I'll head to the party soon, and you deal with the business at the canal. Okay?"

"Okay," He said, but he soon became conflicted with another secret that hadn't been revealed. "But... you still haven't told me," Jinrai reminded her. "Who is the Jester exactly, to you?"

"The Jester..." Claire whispered, nestling beside his arm. "She..."

She's my twin.
