Waking early morning of day 428, Kenshin stretched blissfully and stroked Noriko's firm ass. Recalling the wild events of the night, he couldn't help but smile. It was a completely new experience that left several large bruises and a hole from a knocked-out tooth.
"Why put on those scenes..." Kenshin said, stretching his stiff limbs.
"You're to blame for acting not like a chieftain. Men in my tribe never babied women, let alone what you do," she replied, stretching her arms high overhead. Kenshin couldn't help enjoying her graceful, predatory panther-like body.
"We're not in your tribe. Now you're part of MY tribe, and you'll live by new rules, got it?" Kenshin said coolly, finding an effective way to communicate with this disobedient girl.
"Yes..." Noriko replied much softer, tenderly hugging him and rubbing her cheek against his broad chest.
"Do I have to be rough for you to behave?" Kenshin asked wearily.
"No, but I like you like that more," she said, yawning and rising from the ground.
Kenshin couldn't help watching her graceful movements, even as she squatted shamelessly to pee, looking straight into his eyes.
"Shame seems foreign to you..." Kenshin said with a light chuckle but didn't look away.
"What's wrong with it? I stepped ten paces away," she said surprised, genuinely not understanding the question.
"Fine, here, put on the suit, and let's go home," Kenshin said, changing the subject and pulling a spare exo-suit from his near-bottomless backpack.
"Home? We haven't hunted yet!" Noriko exclaimed displeased, donning the suit over her naked body, distracting Kenshin again with her elegance.
"We'll catch some rabbits or a boar on the way," Kenshin said, unable to resist touching her beautiful ass. For better aerodynamics, the suit was perfectly smooth, like latex.
"Fine, but fly over that mountain; I'm sure the mountains have better prey than scared rabbits and slow boars."
"There it is, go lower!" Noriko shouted from five hundred meters up. Her eyes lit predatorily in anticipation, and unable to contain her excitement, she broke from Kenshin's telekinetic control, diving at full speed.
"Stop!" Kenshin shouted, chasing his plummeting wife.
When Noriko was thirty meters from the ground, Kenshin smoothly slowed her fall, and she landed on a large rock without issue, cracking it deeply.
The mountain goat leisurely licking salt deposits was terrified by the sight and nearly slipped off in panicked flight from these horrifying humans.
"Stay right there!" Noriko squealed joyfully and chased the terror-maddened goat.
Kenshin flew calmly after them, shaking his head in pity for the poor animal caught by such a ruthless predator. Noriko could catch it easily but deliberately limited her speed, toying with the prey—first catching up to the frightened beast, then letting it escape.
"Enough now," Kenshin said, pinning the goat to the ground.
"Pff, your boundless pity again..." she snorted, leaping onto the immobilized victim and sinking her teeth into its throat, tearing out a chunk of meat in one motion.
"Did I tell you you're crazy?" Kenshin said, shaking his head.
"I love you too!" Noriko said with huge joy, smiling with her blood-smeared face. In that moment, overflowing with raging emotions, she sincerely expressed her feelings for Kenshin.
"Yeah... Never thought a love confession could be so... unusual," he said with a smile, landing beside the fully blood-soaked girl.
"Why get messy? How am I supposed to wash this blood off you now?" Kenshin said gently.
"You don't get it; it's the predator's highest respect to the prey. You're chieftain, so eat first," she replied, stepping aside.
"I'm not against it, but first it needs cooking," Kenshin said with a smile, to which Noriko just grimaced.
"Come on, we flew past a mountain river recently," he said, telekinetically lifting his wife and the bleeding goat carcass, then soaring into the sky.
Arriving, Kenshin slapped Noriko's ass and sent her to wash off the blood while he built a fire. Though creating a flame "from nothing" wasn't unique here, Kenshin was proud of this psionic milestone. His flame blob barely differed from a torch flame—highly unstable and demanding high concentration—but he still saw it as huge progress in mastering his mysterious powers.
Skinning the goat took little time, and by the time Noriko emerged from the water, Kenshin was roasting large meat chunks over the fire.
"I love clean nature..." Noriko purred blissfully, drying her naked body with the offered towel.
"And I love clean Noriko," Kenshin said laughing, pulling the girl into his arms.
"Wh-what are you doing?!" she grumbled displeased as Kenshin kissed her.
"Kissing my beautiful wife; what does it look like?" he replied smiling, kissing her neat pink lips again.
"Looks like the silly nonsense mothers do with their pups!" she declared, only to be pulled in for another kiss.
She tried breaking free or voicing displeasure a few more times, but Kenshin silenced her protests with skilled, sensual kisses, leaving Noriko completely melted. Minutes later, she took initiative, kissing him with tongue.
"Oh, we have guests," Kenshin said with a light smile, making Noriko instantly alert and scanning around.
"Wow, what a plump mountain lion; it'll complement this scrawny goat nicely," she said smiling, eyeing the large puma lurking among rocks.
"You physically can't fit all this goat meat. Why this good cat?" Kenshin asked surprised, stroking Noriko's smooth back.
"What cat? This is a deadly mountain lion; if we were ordinary people, it'd eat us both!" she declared, glancing at the lurking puma again.
"Now it's scared of you," Kenshin said laughing, turning to face the puma about to flee.
"Come here," he said calmly, staring into the animal's eyes, and the puma cautiously approached the newlyweds.
