Chapter 18: Some Minor Obstacles

As the trio walk through the mighty forest of Merribel Woods,all is calm and safe. Nothing has been strangely out of place or even remotely awkward for our team of three. Well minus one thing. Destiny felt that lately her relationship with Na has taken a different turn. It wasn't bad nessacarily, just..different. She didn't even see him as a thief or a runaway or anything of that nature. Well least not anymore. Now the fluffy haired girl saw him as a bit more than a friend,yet her feelings said different.

"Mmm..we should be getting close to our goal soon guys. Despite that we left about three hours ago. Mom didn't nessacarily tell me were the portal was located hehe. Sorry. " The girl said as she nervously chuckles and scratched her head. Flustered by this Na pinched the short girl's cheeks and playfully gave her a head noogie.

Destiny giggled before giving him a big bear hug. They stayed in that position for several seconds longer until they realize it was enough. Both Na and Destiny blushed at their actions and laughed awkwardly. This made them feel worse as they had to go back to normalcy and pretend nothing had happened even though it did.

The truth is these two liked each other and wanted to express their feelings towards the other,only one problem though. Destiny would fear rejection and Na would fear coming off as rushing a relationship or so the pair thought of themselves. The trio kept wandering aimlessly in the forest only to get slightly annoyed at Destiny's poor instructions she received from her mother. "Its been a whole hour and yet we still haven't made it to the dang tunnel Dest.

What do we do??" Na asked. "Portal you mean Na. I don't know maybe once when were near we can hear it or sense it somehow hehe. Just please be patient with me. Oh and good girl Voya. Your doing amazing. Just use that nose of yours,we'll be there soon I promise." The girl cheered. She then turned her head from Na. Her feelings for him were only growing stronger. So strong even a hug or his voice made her cheeks turn a light shade of pink. She figured if she was in love with him,the least she could do is not come off as weird.

"Hmm? Weird. It's so weird how every animal in these woods are asleep. The quiet is eerily calm. I do wonder what my friends would have thinked. Well if they hadn't been chased by a monster. That was too much of a gamble for me. Na said to himself. Destiny was in her own head with her knees up to her chest. Her long fluffy hair covered her right eye. It made her all the cuter. She wasn't even listening. Suddenly she heard some rustling in the bushes and trees.

"Hmm..what's that noise? No one is usually up at 4 am in the morning. I better do what I can to keep Na and Voya safe." Destiny thought as she sprung to her small grey feet. Na too wonder what caused Destiny to react that way. He thought to ask her but she shushed him with placing a her finger to her mouth.

"Shhh..listen..I don't think were alone here, be ready for anything." Destiny instructed. Na listened and grabbed a makeshift knife from his shirt. The boy had forgotten he was still wearing a dress. At this point the boy was now well accustomed to it. He may have not liked it, but it was better than being naked. The rustling progressively grew louder and louder. So loud Voya stopped in her tracks and gently placed her two buddies on the ground. The mighty wolf began to form herself in a pouncing stance at whatever was lurking in those woods. They didn't have to wait for long thought. Suddenly silence once again fell upon the forest.

Quiet..too quiet even. The tension was becoming increasingly thicker by the nearest yeptosecond even. Destiny instinctively threw a right cross and knock out a familiar foe..well to Luna but not her. The grey girl squatted and noticed it was in all black, that's when it clicked. "Fafkins!..one of my father's most elite soldiers, why would he send them here if he himself could've fought me himself?" The girl asked out loud. Na had no clue what was going on, all he knew were four more Fafkin soldiers showed up they surrounded the trio. Each back in a corner. Until the head of the Fafkins showed up. He was only slightly taller than Destiny and the other Fafkins, yet he threw his black cape off and immediately sent his soliders all for Destiny.

"Whoa! Hey easy there!! Hey what exactly are these things!!" Na asked Destiny. As he was trying to avoid their attacks. Little did he know Destiny effortlessly dispatched of all of them with her agility and slender frame. She avoided some of their most lethal attacks. Attacks that could've killed her had she'd been human or mortal,yet thankfully she was neither of those. The grey girl pushed Na out the way as he was almost impaled. Mere seconds would've been more than enough time to end the boy's life. Voya did her best in swiping away the remaining Fafkins away. Once they were defeated the pair noticed they vanished. All of them seemed to somehow fuel the leader of the blackened soldiers. It didn't seem to change much but was now capable of putting up a fair fight. The Head Fafkin landed a devastating blow to Na's stomach. The move was sent flying across the forest floor coughing up saliva. Voya jumped in front of the wounded boy and snarled at her aggressor.

"Whoa whoa. Easy girl..easy. It's okay. Destiny is here. You take him to the portal okay? I'll handle ol' tall and oily. GO!" Destiny commanded. The wolf bumped Destiny's butt with her nose. Almost as if she's telling Destiny to be careful. The giant wolf picked up Na and hoisted him on her back. The pair than ran off into a random direction. The Head Fafkin cloned more soldiers of itself. It was about to send them after Voya,until Destiny swiped them in half. This caused them to vanish. The grey girl was now angry. She gently descend balling her fists up. The Head Fafkin looked intrigued. It assumed the form of a man and proceeded to attack the small girl.

"Whoa!! hmmph!!..miss me hehe. Come on is that REALLY how you throw a pu-" Before she could finshed her sentence Destiny was hit so hard she was now buried inside a tree. This didn't really phase her though. The girl stuck her tongue out and taunted the Head Fafkin by bending over and slapping her butt once she broke out from the trunk of the tree. The creature was angry and threw some devastating attacks all missing Destiny.

"Gotta hand it to Pops,he sure did make ya strong if only you could talk. Oh the stories you could tell. Shame that your gonna get creamed here in the next ten seconds." The girl proudly said. As the Head Fafkin grabbed her by her long hair and twirled her at full force. This did get her to shed a few tears. Other then that Destiny landed a immensely powerful kick. It was so loud and so powerful it was like that of thunder and lightning. After the attack the girl was sent crashing across the forest floor.

"Oof..gaa..oomph!!" The girl said as she roughly landed on the ground. Her dress was only slightly covered in smudges, scratches and some dirt. The same couldn't be said for her face though. She spat out a tooth that was broken. The most embarrassing part was that now she had a small bald spot in the back of her head. Apparently the collision between her attack and the creature letting her go must've ripped out a few strands. The girl blushed once she felt the smooth spot.

Now frustrated what was left of this Fafkin creature crawled away for dear life as Destiny was getting closer and closer.

"Do you have any idea how long it took for my hair to get this long?..Well DO YA!! I spent several months trying to get it this fluffy and yet you ripped out a few strands!! Now I'm mad!!" The small girl says as she picks up the remains of the Head Fafkin, she throws it high into the air and lands a mean left hook sending it into the vast reaches of space.

"Hmmph..serves you right you meanie..Good thing I can grow my hair back instantly. Not like that creature even cared anyway. I should find Voya and...N..Na..w-what if he sees me like this? Oh no..maybe I should clean up? Should I?" The wondered and pondered on the question. In other news, Voya had licked Na's wounds clean they were already starting to heal even. The young man awoke from his slumber and saw a feint blue glow in the distance..could it be? Had he and Voya made it to the portal already?

"Wow..the sun is just rising,to think that Fafir may have sent those guys..were they after us or trying to stop us?" Na wondered. Voya just wagged her large tail and softly growl. It was like she was talking with the boy. Na picked this up and petted her. The wolf kept walking into a vast area completely void of trees. Only grass. Their ahead of the duo. A blue portal shined brightly. Happy as can be. Na commanded Voya to rush to it.

The wolf barked earnestly and happily ran to the portal. Only for a split second the wolf decided it'd be best to wait for Destiny. The two did worry about her,but Voya had more faith in her caretaker than Na did. As a small puppy even. Voya always protected Destiny,now it was Destiny who protected her. Hours began to pass by and Na grew worried he told Voya to stay. The large wolf just licked his face and panted happily. The young boy rushed off the were he last saw Destiny and found nothing.

True despair began to seep in along with doubt and other horrid thoughts. What if those things killed her? What if they ate her? What if she was kidnapped? What was a weak human like him to do? How could a mere human male save a gorgeous goddess like her? He wondered. Tears began to stream down his face as he saw her white dress blowing in the wind. It gently dangled on a tree branch blowing in the wind.

"Nooo..Destiny..noooo..Those animals took you!! Oh noo.no..nooooo!!" The young boy sincerely cried. He was then encountered with an Destiny whose hands were placed on her hips. She looked down at him and placed his head on her belly. She chuckled and comforted him.

"I'm okay ya dummy. I just took an bath is all. That creature sure packed a punch thought. I should be thanking it actually. I had a massive toothache cause of my last wisdom tooth and man on man it feels so good hehe." Destiny giggled. Na removed his head and saw Destiny look away from him. She blushed and smiled. "Oh..well..your naked again..ya know there is a thing called underwear right?" Na said as he blushed and gazed upon the grey girl's beautiful,wet, glistening body. Na gave the naked goddess his shirt to dry off with. She happily accepted and hugged him.

"If I can be honest..for a moment." She paused and looked at her panties and bra. They were too tossed aside. I..I um..I prefer going commando." Destiny said shyly. "It's just something that's so freeing about the fabrics touching..mm..certain places. Ya know?" The girl says with the fabric of Na's shirt in between her legs. She gently swayed side to side turning on Na even more as he saw her butt peek out from the shirt.

"Juicy" The young man thought. He was mesmerized by Destiny's butt. Part of him wanted her to stay that way so he could look for a longer period of time. The other wanted to give her some pants so she could at least feel warm. Unfortunately the part that overcame him was his mesmerizement with Destiny's exposed rear.

The girl was confused for an moment as they both stood awkwardly. Especially after Destiny made such a bold statement. It made her feel relieved even, now she picked up what Na was staring at. "Oh!..uh..um..N-N..Na..your looking at my butt...d..do you like it?" Destiny asked in a soft voice.

"U..uh..um..w..well I uh..whew..it's really hot in here." The boy manage to muster up the strength to say. He didn't even try to not look away. In fact he wanted to keep looking secretly hoping she'd let him touch her butt. Destiny genuinely was curious and in her eyes wanted to make sure she was as attractive to her future suitor than he would be to her. However the thought of a stranger becoming her friend and possibly more only now took it's true effect.

"I..i..mmmmmmm" Destiny stammered. She turned an beet red and lean forward a little pushing her small breasts up into her arms. The girl shyly looked at Na and speedily looked back to the ground. "J..Just touch my ass Na..mmm..I can't wait to feel his warm hands on my.." In mid thought Destiny was interuppted as Na did place his hand on her exposed back side.

Destiny slowly turn her body to Na and nervously smiled. "I..I hope I'm too your liking." She shyly muttered as she waited for whatever Na would do next. "Your beautiful Destiny..and also pretty well endowed in the back,but..for right now...thought this is very tempting..we have a portal to get to." Na says as he made a complete 180 switch in descion..well almost. He still massaged the grey girl's naked butt..however he had one goal to get to.

Destiny didn't mind it and floated to the young boys height and smiled. "So..wanna date?" Destiny asked unexpectedly and abruptly. "After all..friends at least from what I know..don't rub butts..Just keep those fingers away from..uh.. my...hotbox..mmmmmm." Destiny says shyly. Embarassed the girl buries her face into Na's chest. The boy gently moves her to his face and asks for a kiss.

The two lock eyes and fall in love. Destiny's pools of green now gazed upon Na's eyes that were the color of Earth's mighty oceans. One kiss is all they needed now. Without warning the two kissed passionately for a few seconds until they were so engrossed in locking lips they fell over back first into the large grass field. Destiny was on top and Na on the bottom.

Na quickly grabs her waist and pulls her closer while kissing her. Soon their tongues were entangled as one. They continued to kiss with fervor,their hands roaming the other's bodies. They pulled apart for breath and shared an equally passionate kiss. Their mouths moved together as they slowly went on top of eachother. Both were quite eager to continue,but stopped themselves when they realized what they had to do next. "Whoa..uh..wow..your lips taste like blueberries..Momma's and my favorite berry. Hehe..So..I take it by your hand still on my booty and that kiss..its a yes to dating?"Destiny asked excitedly. Na sat up and kissed her nose and lips.

"Definently. If I can not only caressed your long hair,gaze into your green eyes,spend every day with you and even hug..I'd be more than happy to be yours. Well..this juicy booty is also a bonus. Hehe..eh..please don't kill me." Na said nervously. Destiny coyly smirked and wiggled her hips. "It's genetics mostly thats doing the work,but I do squats from time to time..As for your touching..hmm..well I allow it. Now take your shirt back my dress should be dry by now." Destiny says as she removes the shirt.

Na blushed as he saw her breasts gently bounce up and down as his new girlfriend moved. She put her dress on and the two were off. Hand in hand they smiled headed to Voya who slept and awaited them.

"Oh and by the way Na. I saw you get a hard on hehehe. Your a lot smaller than most guys. " Destiny teased. Na slugged her in her arm for pay back.

"Ouch~ouch!! Hey!! You're so mean~" She playfully pouted. Na just smiled as the two walked towards the portal. He held Destiny's hand and kissed her shoulder lovingly.

Once they arrived, the portal was still open. Na stepped on Voya and helped Destiny up and well. The three were all packed up and ready to go. Then the dread of meeting Nea overcame Na. His and all of Neotic Kind's creator. Not only that but the mother of his new girlfriend. What would he say? What would he do? Who knows.
