Chapter 40: A Few Months Later

Yukari and Tiamat continued their journey, walking across the bridge that connected the main island. Throughout the walk, Yukari couldn't help but steal glances at Tiamat, observing her cheerful skipping and her cute habit of spinning her head to take in her surroundings, particularly the golden linings on the bridge.

As she observed Tiamat's carefree demeanor, Yukari couldn't help but reflect on her own naivety. Having mostly interacted with her mother, she realized she had limited experience with others. 'She seems naive as well, but who am I to judge?' Yukari thought to herself.

Curiosity got the better of her, and she decided to ask Tiamat a question. "Do you have anyone on this planet that you care about?" she inquired.

Tiamat came to a halt, meeting Yukari's gaze. "No, I've been on my own since I was born. My interactions usually involve either stealing treasures or defending against those who try to steal from me," she responded.

Yukari nodded, understanding Tiamat's solitary existence. "I see. Well, we'll be leaving this planet in a year," she shared with a serious tone, unsure if she should reveal the truth about the God Tree just yet. However, her self-proclaimed first and only friend surprised her with her lack of interest in worldly matters.

"Wow, we can actually leave this planet? Are there treasures out there?" Tiamat exclaimed, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Yes, there will be plenty of treasures," Yukari replied, playing along with her friend's enthusiasm, a faint smile gracing her lips.

Yukari felt a sense of relief at having someone to talk to and share the journey with. She hoped to gain Tiamat's trust and eventually open up about her own life and secrets.

Upon arriving at the grand castle made of quartz and gold, Tiamat was in awe of its magnificence. Yukari felt pleased that her friend admired her home and explained, "My mother built this castle as a parting gift for me."

"WOW, your mom must be really cool then," Tiamat expressed, clearly impressed by Yukari's mother.

"Hehe, yes, my mom is the coolest in the entire universe," Yukari responded, noticing how Tiamat held her mother in high regard. Feeling mentally exhausted from the day's emotional turmoil, she added, "I feel like sleeping right now, but I'll tell you some stories about my mother later." She needed time to rest and regain her composure. "Please allow me to show you your room."

"Mou, I thought I'd sleep with you?" Tiamat inquired, disappointed that she wouldn't be able to cuddle with her mate. Yukari found herself at a loss for words, contemplating the speed at which their relationship was progressing. She reasoned with herself, considering the fact that she had almost killed Tiamat not long ago. After a brief pause, Yukari responded.

"Isn't our relationship moving too quickly for us to sleep with each other? After all, I nearly killed you," she reasoned internally. However, as she understood Tiamat's true desire for companionship and affection, a warm smile graced her face. "Actually, friends could cuddle so that's okay with me," she said, granting Tiamat's wish. Tiamat's face lit up with joy.

They entered Yukari's room and settled in, cuddling closely. Tiamat's head rested gently on Yukari's chest, while Yukari wrapped her arms around her. As they drifted off to sleep, a sense of comfort and contentment enveloped them. Yukari felt safe and loved, a feeling she hadn't experienced in a long while, while Tiamat was grateful for the opportunity to show her mate how deeply she cared.

As months swiftly passed by, Yukari couldn't help but notice that time seemed to accelerate since Tiamat had joined her on their journey. Their days were filled with intense sparring sessions and indulging in the plentiful food stash provided by Yukari's mother. While some might find such routines monotonous, their extended lifespans allowed them to appreciate the simple joys without feeling bored or restless.

Yukari remained true to her promise and visited Yumi every day, sharing stories about her adventures with Tiamat. Yumi eagerly anticipated meeting her other "mommy," and the thought of their unconventional family made Yukari blush with both excitement and apprehension.

Throughout the months, Yukari battled with her increasing sexual frustration. She found herself in constant proximity to Tiamat, whose very presence exuded a captivating aura of maturity and sensuality. It took every ounce of self-control for Yukari not to succumb to her desires and pounce on Tiamat like a horny rabbit.

Yet, amidst her frustrations, Yukari realized that she cherished every moment spent with Tiamat. She was grateful for their deepening friendship, but a part of her yearned for something more intimate and profound.

With unwavering confidence, she made a silent vow to herself, "Once I have harvested this planet chakra fruit, I will confront Tiamat about my feelings. But first, I must trust her with the secret of the God Tree."

She clearly remembered the first morning she slept with Tiamat. Like any bright, sunny morning , Yukari awoke first. The sun's rays hit their beautiful bodies, glistening against their skin. Yukari couldn't help but stare at Tiamat's curves, admiring every inch of her body. The heat from the sun made their bodies feel alive as they enjoyed the warmth on their skin.

"Good morning, Yuki," said Tiamt with a loving voice. As Tiamat's voice interrupted her thoughts, Yukari blushed at the nickname "Yuki". It was a sweet and affectionate name that Tiamat had given her, and it made her heart flutter every time she heard it.

She quickly snapped out of her daydream and smiled at Tiamat. "Yuki?" she asked teasingly. "Yes, I think friends use nicknames," Tiamat said, looking into her eyes with clear innocence. "I see. Well, good morning, Tia," she said in a soothing voice.

Tiamat was overjoyed to hear Yukari's nickname and pounced on her. Tiamat hugged Yukari tightly, and their two bodies felt against each other as two soft mounds began pressing against her own. As Yukari felt Tiamat's soft plump body against her own, she couldn't help but feel a rush of excitement and desire.

She tried to calm herself down, reminding herself that they were just friends, but it was difficult when her body was responding so strongly to Tiamat's touch. Eventually, they pulled apart, both of them blushing and feeling a bit awkward. But deep down, Yukari knew that her feelings for Tiamat were only getting stronger every day.
