The Echantress [Solo]

[Enatsu]

~Pain has filled your heart, sorrow has taken your mind, but please unwind and let go of your past. Life is too sacred, love is too promising to dismiss without fighting~

Words echoed throughout the woods of "Sunagakure" lending themselves upon Koga's ears. He felt as though time stood still as the words of a song played upon him. He could not ignore this melody nor did he want to. Following the sound of music with his chakra enhanced hearing the blind shinobi found his way to the starlit lake, twinkling with the energy of chakra. While of course the shinobi could not see this he could feel it, sensing the large amount of energy around them. This was not normal chakra it was of a spiritual persuasion. This melody was coming from an other worldly creature, and from the sound of it something angelic.

The sweet words continued professing a grandeur of prospering and everlasting rule in the grasp of the maker. This voice pursued to sing about how such things were all waiting for anyone who was willing to reach out and accept it. ~Let love enter thy heart and make a new haven~ Those words specifically hung close to Koga as he stopped in his tracks. An aroma hung in the air as Koga got closer to the water. Using his echolocation he found a rock formation, that had seemingly appeared in the middle of the lake. This being's voice rang from the top of the pillars and his body could only do one thing in reaction to it. He had to get closer to it, and figure out what this creature was. Koga walked into the water so mesmerized by the music that he forgot to use his chakra to stay afloat. His body partially submerged the Suna nin quickly pulled himself out of the water using the chakra like suction cups to cling to the water. Like a stumbling child Koga pursued the voice up the pillar of stone. This pillar was not normal it felt warm, like a gentle flame was lit inside of it. Ignoring the heat the blind-man continued up the rocky formation eventually reaching the enchanting creature who had been singing this beautiful melody.

A woman with hair as teal as his chakra, and wings of a bat. She had a devilish tail, and curves that would seduce any man. She was not of human decent, she was a succubus in humanoid form. The woman smiled upon Koga and reached her gentle hands down grasping his cheeks moving towards his mask and lifting the veil. She turned his head awkwardly and removed the blindfolds from his eyes. A smile spread across her lips as she finally spoke to him.

"Sad creature, eyeless warrior, who are you?" Her voice was still just as lovely as it was when she sang. Softly the blind ninja replied. "I am Ikoji Koga, assumed shinobi of Sunagakure and who might you be lovely creature." She leaned closer kissing his forehead. "I am the answer to your call. It was you who bore a heavy heart and great sorrow was it not? I was drawn to it like moths to a flame. Your spiritual energy is strong, so strong that I had to come and find out why such a human being had such sorrow."" The creature released her grip and leaned back staring at the barren rocky cavern ceiling. This village has seen great sorrow as well has it not? How strange that such pain has been here and is only now being realized. The sun is much better you know." Koga chuckled as he reached out for her hand.

"Yes I know this very well. I'm not from this village originally I've tried to make it my home but the state it's in now I don't know if I can honestly. However I wish for revenge against those who've brought all this pain to the village. Mainly to my clan..." His hands began to tremble with anger but the enchantress grasped his with her other hand cupping it closely. She began to move his hand to her chest over her right breast where her heart beat strongly. "Revenge is such a common thing among any creature. However there are greater things in life than revenge and power. Don't you beleive so Koga? You've experienced so much why settle for such things that will only weigh on you greater. You are a kind soul, I can tell. What is the point of wasting all your lovely energy on revenge." He broke from her grasp and immediately barked. "What else is there then!?" The succubus grabbed his head and pulled it closer, her grip stronger than his. "Love, conviction, dedication, among other things. Allow me to show you the wonders of the world, you just have to open your eyes and allow me in." She would gaze into his eyes deeply, energy leaking from her to him. At that moment an image burned into Koga's mind deeply giving him focus. It was her form, what she appeared to be. She was beautiful and at the same time demonic but bore no signs of malicious intent. She was a lovely specimen and her warmth was beyond anything he'd encountered so far.

The creature inched closer and pressed her lips upon his giving him a deep and long kiss. When they separated only one thing came from his mouth. "What is your name?" A chuckle would escape her lips now. "Haha nothing escapes you in this moment. My name is Utada." They would share another kiss as her wings would grow larger and entrap them both in the caress of darkness.

Utada layed naked, staring at Koga's sleeping frame. He was exhausted and after the dimensional experience they shared it was only expected. Her fingers rolled up his bare body as flaming runes emanated from her fingertips. Blue flamed runes appeared over Koga as Utada began to interact with them. "So this is the curse that was set upon hmm. It explains the abnormal amount of spiritual amount I felt from him. Even on his own it's a great amount the spirits clearly love him, but he's wavering in his path he'll never amount to much if he continues down this path." Utada was normally just a succubus seeking a strong amount of energy to feed off of but something struck her about this one. She could sympathize with him, a human trying to be something he was not, there was a time where she would have easily brought him into her fold through conversion. However now it was sucha different situation. Utada herself was now a demon trying to be something she was not, trying retain a sense of humanity something she balieved to be higher on the totem pole than all else. To see this spiritual man, be perverted so greatly hurt her in a spot and she wished to correct this. When she first laid eyes upon him she immediately felt the great energy inside of him noting that his power came from some type of course. After her pleasure she was able to examine Koga and come up with an answer. Someone had used an advanced form of necromancy on him one that only a lich or kin of liches could utilize. It bound the souls and energy of the deceased through their mortal remains onto another. He was bound to the bones of fallen and powerful warriors. This power was diminishing the spiritual energy of his natural birth.

Utada a genius in the ability of curses and hexes could think of nothing greater to appease her sense of humanity than to help this fallen man. The succubus would bite her thumb and smear a cross of blood on Koga's chest. "Sleep o fallen one and allow the truth to reveal itself" While having relations she was able to access his energy taking some in as her own and becoming use to the way his body moved. By using her blood she was binding him to her will something that normally takes longer but mentally he had already accepted her whether his own choice or her charm. Utada would straighten the end of her tail and focus chakra into it, sharpening the tip to make it like a blade. With surgeon like precision the demonic enchantress would create incisions on Koga's chest tracing the cross and creating a wound where her blood would mix with his. After creating the blood link, her next task was to begin an energy take over, a simple process where she used her own energy to access another's. Two thins made this process possible for her. One being that as a succubus she needed to literally drain people of their energy to increase her own or satiate her if she felt the need. While she had some control here it was easy enough for Utada to not feel the need to feed at the cost of hampering her own abilities. The second thing that made this even stronger was the blood link she could enact. It was simple blood magic, to link oneself with another by fusing their blood. With powers like these her ability to control another's energy became a reality. It was especially easy with those she consummated with. Yet very few every acquired such attention there were only two before Koga, whom she tried to pay attention to like this and they were both long dead now.

"I suppose if nothing else I can get rid of these trifling cursed runes. The funny thing about these is that whoever did them attempted a powerful curse but it's not life binding. It can be removed and quite easily if you have the right tools." Her wings would grow and cover herself as she changed into more a demonic form.

Spoiler

Koga's blood began to literally boil as Utada extended her glowing hand over his chest and began to force her energy to resonate. His body began to writhe in pain but it did not hinder her process whatsoever. He would not wake up she had enchanted his mind and exhausted him, Koga would be asleep through this entire process. The runes that had first appeared when the bones were implanted in him would begin to fade glowing with that blue tinted flame he had witnessed so long ago. One by one she would inscribe marks on them using the combined power of her and Koga. Their blood, and their energy was enough to purify the runes bathing each one in light. They began to fade away as if destroyed by the light their power created. This was not the same as the power that the spirits had once lent Koga it was his own power created out of his own will. Utada was simply guiding his energy like a trench guiding a bursting river. After the runes destruction the next miraculous thing began to happen. The trapped souls and wills of his past clan members had begun to exit his body as if they were freed from something sinister. Utada clearly looked on as each of the spirits hung over Koga giving him one final prayer and blessing before parting. Her demonic form would also begin to fade as she had completed her task. Koga would have to be wrapped up but at least he was safe from his curse, purged of the cursed bone control he had once wished for. However in a sense he was de-powered losing out on one of his greatest assets.

After bandaging Koga and applying healing jutsu, she would leave the area allowing her new thrall to have time to rest and time to dream. In his mind he had experienced everything she had done without consciously knowing the true intent of his dreams. Most dreams would fade from a person unless they could find a way to record them down and give themselves a way to be remembered. In his dream he saw a demon who clamored over him protecting him from the darkness. Her warmth felt wonderful it was something he wished to never release if he could avoid it. Then out o the darkness shone multiple lights breaking through and bringing him an image of the world around him. Each light was a grand display of love and security, something he had been missing for a while now. Last but not least he saw a vision of his mother and her smiling face. It was then that his dream ended as he felt something tugging at his eye sockets. It was like someone was messing with the inside of his eye sockets but he couldn't move. They were putting something inside of him. It wasn't until both of his eye sockets got slapped with something did he wake up.

"Ah dammit! What the hell was that!?" Koga would immediately grasp at his eyes attempting to search the sockets, but instead he found something else in their place. What seemed to feel like eyeballs were now in his head neatly placed from what it seemed. He began to poke at them feeling pain shoot from them instantly, which only seemed to draw his attention to the minor aches around his body. A beautiful and familiar voice would ring from the shadows speaking to the "blind man". "Hmm they look nice on you, don't poke too much I don't know if I can find another nice pair like those again it certainly took some coercing. I don't like getting my hands dirty, Koga dear. You won't be able to see anything but possibly the flares of light for some time, but when they finally heal it's going to be up to you, in order to decipher how well you'll be able to see from there. Also don't try to use much of your chakra for a day or two. Those cursed runes on your bones were hard to get rid of, and you likely lost some of the abilities they granted you if not all of them but if you ask me it was well worth it. You can now focus on creating a weapon through your own power."

"You gave me eyes, and got rid of Oto's curse? Why do all this for me... I don't understand any of it." He would look in her direction of course not being able to see her but being able to pinpoint her voice. However the succubus would simply shrug her shoulders before answering. "That's a good question I'm not even sure myself. I came her due to the power you were emanating and the kindred soul you had but it was mired in malice, it intrigued me. After sharing a night with you I could only think about how to help maybe a flaw in my overall design as a demoness but it was worth it to bring a serene grace to someone's lost soul. Yes I think I did it to feel as if I was doing something good, and I guess deep down I really wish to help you. I guess I see potential in you as well."

This entire event was sudden and unforseen however the blind shinobi had gained a purer slate from his past mistakes. The curse on his body was gone, and he had lost his bone manipulation abilities yet he was still strong enough to some day make his own weapon. His will was reinforced, and he had even received a new pair of eyes to fix his foolish error ridden ways. There was a lot Koga had to learn especially about his current situation and this enchanting creature Utada, but one thing was for certain this was a new Koga, and not new in the sense of a major change in himself or an implant of a new power, but rather a power he always had but once lost. a clarity slap to clear his mind and refocus his position in life. However power seemed so abysmal compared to what he had just received. This war was futile, in his heart he could see the fall of Sunagakure and if not that they'd be only inviting danger into their fold such as bleeding hearts do. Leaving Magnetic alive, being underground, it was all stupid. His father may have been right, maybe this was not a good investment any longer. Regardless he only wished to live in peace now, away from all of this stupid selfishness, and betrayal. With the first sight of tender love he'd had in a while, Koga only wished to be with Utada for longer.


"Hey Utada... Come back with me to my compound. I wish to learn more about you and spend my time doing something else than searching for power and fighting. I've become tired, and realized that force will not get me what I wish for. I used to think if you were stronger then you could get what you wanted. If you had power you could shape your personal world. However I've been proven wrong at each turn. I've never had something else to focus on other than fighting. Call me selfish but will you spend more time here with me in this mortal plane?"" A question to be answered but not in this lifetime, would he actually get his wish? There was simply no point in dwelling on it, if peace wasn't around him, he had to go make it happen no?
