Haru the Ogre

After leaving the meadow and walking back the Inn, the two walked hand and hand.

" I still haven't tried out the other elements yet... and I can't help but be so curious." As Rin looked up at the moon

Julius hesitated for a moment " if you have more then 3 elements, that's incredible. There aren't many who have more then 3, even in my wolf tribe."

"Julius, I need to get back to porter town. My family is there waiting for me, and she's taken care of me for a long time." As she squeezed his hand

Julius looked down and saw her begin to worry. " No worries as he stopped. If you want to go and ahead head back, then we can head there."

" We need a carriage though." As Rin became confused.

"No" as Julius shifted into his abnormally large golden wolf form " I can take us where we need to be, I'm also fast"

"Julius.... can you change your size?" As Rin began to have an idea

"Of course, did you think of something?" As Julius began to feel uneasy for some reason.

" I believe so..." As Rin began to look around for an open space and as soon as she spotted one she moved over to the area with Julius .

Rin drew a symbol on the dry that represent the wind element, and started her chant. And as soon as she had finished a large white wind dragon appeared infront of her and had let out a huge roar, waking up all those in the entire Empire and after he had finished.

The light disappeared and he bowed his head to Rin after determining her worthy of being his master, and to prove so. Rin place her hand to the dragons forehead and began to flow her mana into the dragon as the dragon passed it back out its body and back into hers.

Then the dragon spoke " I am ready to take you as my Master. My name is Falkor, may I ask for your name as well?

" I am Rin, the Fox Princess. And I gladly will take on the task as your master" as Rin looked into its eyes

At those words, Falkor leaned and kiss her on the forhead and the symbol of the wind dragon appeared on the back of her hand and the contract was complete.

As the pact had been, Rin back at Julius who adjust his size to fit in her lap and she picked up, as she made her first command.

"Falkor, I need you to bring me back to the town of porter." As she held her head high, and the dragon kneed down as Rin climbed up and saddled herself on the dragon's shoulders as she held on to Julius.

Once Rin was on, Falkor lifted up and its wings began to flap, and before she knew they lifted off the ground and headed towards the direction of the temple, since she needs to go a bit more north to get to the town.

As the dragon flew, Rin and Julius looked down below to see everyone had come out there homes to see what had made the sound., as the wind began to pick up, the dragon picked up its speed and began to fly a little faster, and Rin had never felt so exhilarated in her entire life.

" Magic is incredible!" Julius looked up to see a sight no one has ever seen before. She was truly enjoying life to its fullest and she looked so lovely doing so. She really is so breathtaking, he thought to himself as he started at the beautiful soul.

When they arrived outside the village, which happened to be from the otherside of the river. The dragon landed down on its feet and leaned its body so Rin could stepped down.

" Thank you Falkor, I will call for you again soon" So Rin once again, emptied her mind and the dragon went home.

"Julius, you can go back to your normal size if you like." As Rin scratched his head from still holding him.

"That feels so nice though." As Rin continued to scratch his head and began walk a few distance, coming close to an area that looked familiar., she had noticed she was right outside the fence of the home of that noble woman and " Haru".

While Rin was looking at the direction where she had seen the beautiful man that looked as if he represented the full moon, and right where she saw him the first time. She had seen a body laying face down naked and covered in backlash wounds that had just been inflicted.

Rin hurriedly placed Julius on the ground and jumped over the fence to get to the wounded person, not even phased she was trespassing and was next to him in a matter of seconds.

Julius had also jumped over the fence and rushed over to her side, and shifted back to his human form.

They both notice there had been a chain attached to his neck leading up to the stables, Rin noticed it was the man she had seen when he barely managed to shift his face to the side reached down to brush his hair out of his face " Haru" she spoke as he looked up.

Fear came into his eyes " You shouldn't be here"

"And you shouldn't be left to the brink of death, so you atleast think you can manage to stand up?" As Rin retracted her hand

Haru could barely manage to lift himself up as he tried to roll to his side, to stand up.

Rin sighed " Julius, can you help him up?"

Julius immediately obliged and scooped him up so he didn't have to walk as Rin spoke to him " Where do we take you? To those stables over there?"

"I...I can walk over just fine" as Haru tried to struggle to step down from Julius's arms

" Please let us help you, I understand we've trespass but I refuse to leave you severely wounded on the ground to fend for yourself" as Rin became stern

Haru's breathing began to become rapid as Rin felt his forehead. Causing him to flinch " You have a high fever"

They quickly brought him over to the stables to see where the chain had lead them too, and was literally inside of a bed of hay next to one of the horses.

Rin began to become angry at that woman she saw. " How dare she treat him this way"

Rin looked over to Haru who had fallen asleep in Julius's arms. " I want to take him with us" feeling every fiber in her bones to protect this man.

Rin had also felt it with this man as she did with Julius, something inside her felt a very strong magnetic pull. but to her it seemed he had already had a mate.

"Is there away we can break him out of his chain?" As Rin began to look around

Julius had never see someone go through such a state, had thought animals had been treated better then this man and he too felt anger at the site he was seeing.

Rin began to think, what if she healed him? She didn't get to test to see if she had light magic. But since she did end up with 4 elements of magic, she thought anything is better then nothing.

"Julius, do you think you can lower him a bit? I'm going to try to heal him." As was ready to do anything to save this man's life.

"That...would be a 5th element. I don't think anyone has ever had all of the elements and you've already used a lot of your mana today. I can heal him" as Julius wanted to take some burden off of her

Rin really felt as though she can trust this man. " Okay, but lower his head onto my lap though. I really don't want him to be anymore uncomfortable then he already is."

So Julius, had lowered him down and as Rin requested he had placed his head onto he kneeling lap and began to cast healing magic onto him.

Haru began to flinch, as to feeling his wounds beginning to fade away and being soothed by Rin who was ever so gently rubbing his forehead.

Rin thought of something when she had seen a bucket near her filled water and ripped her skirt, and dipped it to wring it, then placing on on to Haru's forehead.

As Julius continued to work on healing Haru.

Harus began to cry due to his high fever, " Your going to be okay Haru, you will get better as she held on to his shoulders with her other hand, as she sponged hid forehead with the wet cloth.

Haru looked up to see the beautiful soul who was staying by his side, inching his face closer in her lap and not wanting to let go of the dream he was having as he kissed her bare legs.

When Julius had finished healing, Haru's breathing went back down to normal and Rin could hear him smacking his lips due to thirst.

" I'll go get some water from the River" Julius gently smiled at her as he went out, leaving the two alone

Rin took the rag again and began to sponge his whole body to make sure there were no more traces of blood or sweat.

The man gently opened up his heavy eyelids to see the beautiful red hair woman who had been sitting from across the river,gently stroking his hair "How did you know my name?" In a hoarse voice, When he thought of when she called out to him earlier

Rin caressed his hair behind his ear as looked into his grey eyes ever so softly " I heard it the day i had first seen you"

"May I know your name as well? As he wanted to continue looking into her beautiful golden eyes

She smiled ever so gently " Rin"as she continued to stroke his forehead

Haru wrapped his arms around her waist as he still laid and nuzzled into her legs as he looked back up to her " You really shouldn't be here, my miss... she's highly jealous of you. Although, I disgust her. She could tell I've had you on my mind since I first seen you"

" So, then why are you here?" As Julius came back with water in a different bucket and label.

"Because she is my wife, and it is my duty to serve her."

"Sorry to interrupt, here's the water. I can wait back outside." As Julius began to turn around

"No, please stay " as Haru pleaded. " You also saved my life, and I understand your her companion. So please, I don't mind. "

"Your wife just left you for dead" as Rin kept her eyes locked onto him

Haru with the strength he was able to mustered, sat up and repositioned himself.

Rin looked around and found a robe and placed it on his body before they continued there conversation.

" Thank you" as he looked down to himself then back up the two.

" Even so, it was my fault for being vulgar and disgraceful." As Haru sighed

" Why do you believe so?" As Rin patiently waited for him to open up

"Lady Rin, these are my affairs. There's no need for you to get involve. Thank you for tending to my wounds. although I have nothing to repay you with. I would atleast like to express my gratitude, as his softened eyed lingered on Rin

Rin held up her hand " Hold on to your thanks, any sane person would of done what I did., however, why would I leave you here when your chained to the stables? How is that right?"

" This is the will of mother, the will of my wife and the will of God as to know of why I must stay here, though I have sinned." As Haru peeled his eyed away from Rin as he squints his eyes

"Although there is a strong force, telling me that you are also part of my plan. I cannot choose to go with you" as Haru looked back at the beautiful woman

"I'm suppose to serve my wife and make her happy, I'm supposed to be a son my mother is not ashamed of and proud of, even though they hate me to the core I cannot fail to let them down. Since I seen you the other day, my thoughts have only been of you." As Haru maintained eye contact

" I don't even know how it is possible, but I fell in love with you at first sight. Literally. I tried to bury that in my heart, but my wife had seen you and she knows I've been distracted."

"I've tried to please her, and have remained pure all these years I've been with her, in reality. I've never been attracted to her, but for the sake of my mother I need to fufill my duties and have her bear my child." As he balled his hands into a fist

"I've never been good enough though, my family and I, including my wife are all of the ogre bloodline. My mother wants an oni, my wife is a kijin... but I... still haven't awakened." As he took off his necklace, revealing his true face.

"I am hideous and my wife finds me repulsive. So she surrounds herself with humans instead and wants nothing to do with me, except to serve her as a regular servant."As Haru looked numb from his story.

" I just want... to be loved. I don't care about politics in my family. I just want to be a good husband, though I sinned and haven't been able to get you out of my mind, and she's caught me pleasuring myself a couple of times because of it." As he buried his face in his hands

"I cannot be selfish, I am here for my mother and my wife. I know this may sound crazy, but I believe God is also telling me your the one I'm suppose to be serving, and maybe I could have a better life with you." As Haru displayed confusion.

" Though, I cannot displease them anymore then I already have. I need to do this. I need to be here." As he looked down to himself

Rin inched over to where he was, as she kneeled infront of him and took his cheeks to lift them up to meet her gaze as she brushed his hair from his face " I too have felt what you felt, I believe that you are my fated mate along with the one next to me. I definitely felt it , i also understand that you are conflicted, though my doors will be opened to you anytime your ready. I'm across the river, and will create a path for you to cross."

"I...I don't know anymore, but even if I do decide to come with you, I am not free to do so." As Haru smiled softly

Rin " I will get you out of here. Right now if you absolutely wanted to."

Rin looked at Julius, who surprisingly okay with the whole situation and asked him to keep a look out to make sure no one was coming to the stables

When he left, Rin kept Haru in her hands when he tried to speak but was cutt by something warm and soft. Rin took his lips, easily placing her tongue in his mouth and invading his tongue, while wrapping her arms around his neck, and practically climbing into his lap, sucking his tongue.

As the kiss was happening, Haru who had not expected the intimate kiss found himself being wrapped in her warmth and pleasure, it felt so good. He didn't want her to leave.

As she broke the steamy kiss, she looked into his eyes. " I understand your protest" as she ran her thumb on his bottom lip.

"Whenever you decide, I'll be waiting." As she smiled at him.
