24. Leech life, ghost body.

The rabbit cages were set up in a row with water and berries for them to eat. "Alright then I want to make sure they aren't just killed off so swap everytime you use a life draining move and give them time to recover." I tell Stella who nods.

I pick up the leech life book and start to memorize the hand signs, this time I have to move the energy from my core to my finger tips. I also have to be in my ghost body which is annoying enough to control.

It took a couple of tries but soon my fingers lit up a dark purple color. My hand phased through the cage and I touched the rabbit who shivered slightly. I felt a warm energy enter through my hand and go towards my chest. However the rabbit ignored me a second later and went back to eating.

"This is life force?" I ask Stella.

"Yeah, I get a little through our bond but I get a lot more from these bunnies." She says with a smile as she touches a bunny with glowing fingers. "I also get some from the fruits and flowers I eat."

"Do you know what life force does for you?" I ask curiously.

"Makes me stronger." She says simply.

Hmm.

I head towards the graveyard area and grab a couple of soul fruits and flowers.

I toss a couple into the rabbits cages, the rabbits we hadn't touched don't eat them, but the ones we did touch quickly devour the fruits and flowers.

"Maybe it heals lost life force when eaten but nobody wants to eat them or didn't notice so it's not been documented." All the information I had found was that ghosts eat them and nothing happens when people eat them. So it's probably something a normal person wouldnt notice.

I pop one of the bland fruits in my mouth and eat it. Sure enough it feels like the leech life drain, maybe they could heal ghost type wounds too? However all the attacks ever sent towards Stella including fire ones just pass right through her. Full Intangibility for the win. Dunno if there are psychics types here but probably.

I really should study into this more.

For now I'm just going to eat fruits and pet bunnies to practice life stealing.

I can of course feel my energy going up the more I eat and steal, I'm curious if a soul can explode from consuming too much life force. Like is there a limit to life force? Can I become immortal like this? Am I able to pump more life force through my bonds? Then could i make my partners immortal? Well I'm pretty sure I'm already immortal in my ghost body, but immortal in my normal body is that any good? Does life force transfer over change bodies, because my fire energy doesn't when I change form.

Something to study later.

Something else that was odd was I didn't get full while eating the fruits.

"Do you ever use the bathroom?" I ask Stella.

"No why?"

"I was wondering why I didn't feel full though I've eaten quite a few of these fruits. I don't really feel hungry either. Anyway I wondering if they just kind of dissolve completely." I explained to her and she nods.

At this point my inquisitive side takes over and I just start gorging myself on the fruits. Yet I don't feel anything but the warmth in my body as my energy increases slightly. These fruits are probably the size of my head and ove eaten like 10 of them. I don't feel uncomfortable at all.

I wish there was more information but it seems like ghosts are pretty rare and have a bad rap so information is scarce. I tried looking it up on my communicator and in the library but there isn't much besides moves and what they eat.

Sadly I'm not the scientist type so I wouldn't know where to start besides doing some odd tests on myself. I'm certainly not going to do them on Stella.

It seems I would need another set of eyes for this, hell i dunno what half of the lab equipment even does.

So I wouldn't even know where to start.

Going through handsigns I try leech life again on a different rabbit. Practice makes perfect after all and no use in asking questions I can't really answer.

A medic would be nice to have, a cook, a scientist, those would all be good for the team.

But before that I need some training, they also need to get stronger. I don't want to head to any new world without being able to defend myself properly. A weeks worth of training in some martial arts and otherworldly jutsu isnt going to cut it.

Naruto world would be good, or DC quite a few things could come in handy from those places. Maybe get Poison Ivy to look over the farming operation or greenhouse, Tsunade would be nice as a medic. Well that's for the future I suppose for now I've got other things to worry about.

I bring up the manual for Bind and Fear before memorizing the hand signs.

Bind just makes shadow stretch and wrap around the rabbit holding it in place slightly. It reminds me of the Nara clan from Naruto who uses shadow bind. Except mine just kind of holds them in place.

As for Fear, well I quit that shit pretty quickly when the rabbit started screaming. You ever heard a rabbit scream? Its fucking terrifying.

"Well I think that's enough of that for the day." I swap back to my fire/fighting body. Now all the rabbits are trying to avoid me and I don't want them to die from stress or something.

I imagine its just going to get worse once I get towards the higher ranked techniques like soul shaking or nightmare.

"Okay, do you want to see my panties now?" Stella asks holding her dress with a sly smile.

I just chuckle. "Sure."

However under that dress there were no panties only a pair of smooth slightly puffy lips.

"Oops, must have forgot to put them on fufufu." She giggles before floating off towards the house.

"Well then.."
