Chapter Text
"Hmm and I you Jack..my love..my Samurai." Chi stated softly before she started to breath softly falling into a slumber with all that had happen to her today at long last catching up with her.
"Umm i love you my little princess" He called also closing his eyes trying to get some sleep as tomorrow...he had a lot to think about
And so the two newfound taboo lovers fell asleep in each others arms any worries and fears temporary forgotten as they found rest and contentment with each other.
(Next Morning)
Of all the places Jack could thought about not only having a peaceful night and a warm wake up....the house of the daughter of Aku wasnt one of those places
Yet here he was...waking up with the sun entering the window inside the mansion on a nice bed
A nice bed he was currently laying naked in...with a smaller figure curled up against his side laying on his chest with a small smile...Chi the princess of sorrow...the daughter of his enemy Aku.
The sight of her smiling in bliss as she slumbered away and the memories of what they shared the night before certainly filled him....conflicting emotions to say the least.
The most obvious here was the fact she was...a demon? half demon? he didnt knew to be honest..but outside of that she was the daughter of Aku, the evil entity he swore to destroy
yet it was obvious the girl wasnt evil...naive, egocentric and even maybe innocent...but evil? no..she didnt know how the world she lived in worked, trapped in a bubble that Aku helped make.
but also she shock to the core his own understanding of his mission.
The fact he never considered the implications of going back to the past and killing Aku would have on the people of THIS time...sure a lot of good will come..but what about those that lived in this time and could be at risk of dissapearing if he changed the timeline?
Fading to non existence as if their spirits and their stories had never been....like Chi
His arm hugged the petite form of the girl closer to him.
And not only her.
Scottman.
the woolies
Those dancing kids
the dog people
the sea people.
the spartans.
the archers
As much as he'd prefer otherwise he knew that many of them if not all would likely disappear from existence as if they never were in the first place.
And even if he held onto the hope that they would all still be born and live rich full lives in a timeline where Aku didn't exist, he knew that wouldn't be the case for Chi.
Because he might not know how Aku...made her...but the fact she was of his own essence means that erasing Aku in the past will erase her from the future
And despite knowing that destroying Aku before he could truly expand his evil across the planet would save countless people from eons of suffering under his rule....the Samurai found himself for once questioning if it would be worth the price paid.
Exchange lives..for lives....was that fair trade?
"Ummmm" Chi hummed in her sleep rubbing herself to the samurai´s warm body with a smile on her face
A sight that despite his current turmoil brought a smile to Jack's face and by some strange instinct he found himself kissing Chi's forehead
No...it didnt sound fair...but...was there another option?
He could destroy Aku in the present true....but than what? How could he restore order to the world and repair all the damage that foul demon had wrought to Earth in all the eons he had it under his rule?
"Ummm...you are worried..." said Chi half opening her eyes "I can hear your hearth....its beating fast..."
"Tell me...what's wrong?" she asked with a frown that Jack shared before giving a sigh, "just thoughts about the future...past...and my quest."
"Oh" said Chi "Yeah...i suppose...you still want to find answers to that" she said as she hug him back
"Indeed.." Jack said with a frown, "you were ignorant to many things...but at the same time you weren't wrong at the potential repercussions should my quest be successful."
"we both were ignorant in our own way" said Chi "and you helped me open my eyes...so..i suppose i could maybe help you?"
"How so?" Jack asked as Chi leaned up to stare into his eyes her own full of desire and devotion
"Umm well....maybe...I could...ummm...spy on my father? if we find a way to communicate could send you info" offered Chi
"That would be helpful...yes." Jack admitted though with a slight unsure expression, "but i'm not sure i'm happy at the idea of you putting yourself at risk for me like that."
"Hey! Im the princess of sorrow" said Chi full of herself "I can take care of myself and daddy wont even know about it"
"And there's also still that idea offered before lure him into a trap for you." she added with a smug looking look...while trying to ignore her own conflicting emotions consider her entire world was turned upside down and she had given her virginity to her father's greatest adversary.
"Ummm its...something to consider" said Jack "still...for now...I think i just want to do this" he said before kissing Chi again
Chi eyes went wide for a moment before they closed as she moaned and returned the kiss
It might been a spur of the moment..but Jack wanted to feel the warm of her lips...at least before having to leave
And at the same time he found his hand trailing down her back to her ass giving it a squeeze
Ummmm" Chi moaned into the kiss enjoying the massage he was giving at her ass.
She was about to get over him and ride him
GONG!
GONG!
GONG!
when a gong began ringing across the mansion making Chi´s eyes open wide in fear
"What is that?" Jack asked breaking the kiss and looking up in curiosity before blinking snd looking back at Chi giving a look of concern when he noticed the fear in her eye's.
"My dad alarm" said Chi "my father is coming!" she called in shock
"AKU!" Jack at that shot up in alarm his eyes seeking both his clothing and his blade
"please dont tell me you plan to fight here!" called Chi with some worry
At that Jack froze as he stood from the bed frowning, "This would be a opportunity to strike at Aku." He acknowledge frowning, "but it would also put you at great risk." He added throwing Chi a look of concern, "especially if Aku starts to doubt your loyalty....or learns of last night."
He said with a grimace while feeling conflicted at what to do this was the perfect chance to take Aku by surprise....but at the same time he didn't want to put Chi in unnecessary danger. He was admittedly still trying to figure out what he felt for the girl if it was truly love or not...but regardless of the answer he wanted her kept safe.
"Not to mention we are next to the city" he added after calming down "Aku would be able to call at his lackeys and armies to help him" he hummed.
True he had attacked Aku in the city before back when he was infiltrating that mob group, but it had both not worked out and had also been lucky on his part.
He needed to plan his next move carefully....he was a skilled warrior who had faced armies and great odds before but all of Aku's servant swarming the compound would allow their master to escape...and there was still the matter of Chi in the equation as well.
"Hide..." called Chi as she stood up (with a small flinch feeling some pain in between her legs) "I will see what he wants" she said as she looked for her Kimono
"Very well.." Jack said grabbing his own robes and putting them on, "but i'll be ready to move in if anything happens." He said with a serious tone while his gaze went over to his blade.
Chi nodded as she dress up while the gong alarm rang again
"CHI!!" and the voice of Aku was heard
"Ah!" The shout of her father's yell caused Chi to jerk up in shock and slight fear before she yelled out as loudly as she could while quickly dressing in her kimono, "I'm coming father!" she called making a run toward Aku's voice not wanting to keep the shogun of sorrow waiting to say the least.
Outside and towering over the mansion, the dark form of Aku was seen with a flat/serious expression
Before looking down as Chi exited the compound, "I'm here father." Chi said as respectfully as she could, "Excellent...you know better than to keep your father waiting Chi." Aku said sternly and reproachfully as he leaned down his gigantic face inches away from Chi who for once felt truly nervous if not afraid of being around her father after everything that had been revealed to her.
"Ah yes...my apologies father." she said bowing her head
"Umm...I heard..something" said the shogun of pain and suffering "about a..dark dragon burning a near by village..." he continued "would you please tell me about that?"
"Uhhh a dark dragon?" Chi suddenly got a lot more nervous and gave a gulp with a nervous giggle, "you see it's ah a funny story." she admitted tapping her fingers together while feeling like Aku was staring right through her soul, "I..ah...might have awaken more of my power...and it may have gone to my...head a little."
she said as if in embarrassment while latching onto the full excuse she could, though she knew very well the damage to the village was a huge accident on her part.
Aku bent his body down almost at ground level with a flat look
"A little?· he said "that...WAS AMAZING!!" he called with a full smile and an excited tone
"It....was?" Chi questioned with a blink confused and feeling conflicted a part of her felt good at her father's sudden part but another part of her...remembering the anger from the villagers the pain in their eyes....made her feel sick.
"Hahahaha indeed! you finally are coming into your own power and getting a taste of it" laughed the demon
"Ah..yes...cough...I suppose I am." Chi admitted looking down at her right hand which suddenly shifted into that of a spiked mace, "though I think i'll need some practice before I can pull off that dragon again." she admitted with a frown.
"Bah dont worry..Im sure there must be close by villages and rebels you can use to practice no problem" said Aku
At that Chi had to hide a wince at that the idea of attacking innocent villagers and the like made her feel sick and she wasn't sure if she could face Jack again if she had to do so, "Um..perhaps some of your soldiers would be better father."
she offered prompting a nervous look, "After all random weak villages would hardly be a challenge or a good work out." she added trying to appear calm and collected
"Ummm true.." hummed Aku "we could leave scorching villages as an entertainment for later"
"Sounds...delightful father." Chi said forcing a smile knowing that disagreeing too much....well it would make her father suspicious or disappoint him....neither were a option she could risk or afford, "you know I always enjoy spending time with you after all."
"hahaha ohh and now you will be enjoy more" smiled Aku "who knows...maybe soon you could be the one getting rid of that pesky samurai!!"
Chi froze at that the idea of fighting Jack...it fueled with fear, fury, and anger she didn't want to hurt Jack.
"I...well...I mean...you should....have that honor...father" she said trying to keep her anger in check
"Hehe true~ But destroying that pesky Samurai would make for a marvelous father/daughter bonding moment~" Aku said with a laugh
"he..he...he" Chi tried to laugh too to keep appearances
Had her father always truly been this cruel and she never noticed?
"Well think you have won a deserved reward" said the demon "you want a new mansion? maybe some extra slaves?"
"Ah reward?" Chi gave a startled blink at that she certainly didn't want any new servants...or slaves...or would this be a opportunity to help people...hmm she could use this reward to her advantage somehow...perhaps using it to get a bit more freedom from her father...but how?
An idea came to mind...she only can hope this will work
"Well...since i destroyed that village..maybe i can have another?" she said "would be..nice to have one to order around" she said hopping to sound pompous
and apparently it worked as Aku gave out a amused little chortle, "Hehe why of course~ Consider it yours my dear." He said giving her a proud amused smile
Great now she will have a place away her dad´s eyes to work
"thanks father..you always know how to make me happy" she said
Though now she wasn't sure if that was a good thing....if she hadn't met Jack...and he hadn't open her eyes....what kinda person would she of become?
"well..." Aku´s voice called her attention "After hearing about you coming to power I think i got a craving to...test my own dragon form" said the demon with an evil smile
"you do? Eh...how so father?" Chi asked suddenly getting a lot more nervous and worried about what her father could be planning.
"Ehh maybe will find some rebel village and set them in flames" said Aku with a smile
"Um...is that a bit drastic father?" Chi asked before nervously adding on, "after all you're the ruler of the world isn't such work best left to your warriors."
"ehh..maybe..but is always nice stretch the legs now and then" laughed Aku
"A little piece of advice from your father Chi." He shot her a smirk, "just because your the master of the world doesn't mean you can't still have fun with the little things now and than~" He said with a evil cruel smirk
And before she could say anything else
He was gone in a flash of darkness
Leaving Chi to blink a bit before giving a sigh when it appeared he really was gone before choosing to turn and go back into home internally hoping he wasn't listening in on her or anything...but no she was being paranoid she hadn't given anything away...right?
"Ummmm" there she found Jack dressed up and looking serious. "will need to check the closest villages to the city to make sure he is not going there" he said
"So you'll be leaving than." Chi asked giving him a worried look
"If Aku is going after innocents..I must go help them" said the samurai
"So...this is good bye than." Chi stated more than asked as she was already aware of the answer while looking away from Jack
Jack sighed before moving forwards and hug the girl.
"Its..until we meet again" he said to her
"Heh...don't suppose that will be the day you propose." Chi joked weakly while leaning into his chest feeling her eyes water
"I promise..will find a way to communicate...we can..try see each other later" said Jack
"That sounds nice." Chi said with a sniffle as she looked back up at Jack, "I can try to find a way to send information back to you as well...but with my fathers eyes and ears it will be risky." she admitted with a frown.
"Dont take to many risks" said Jack "do what you can, help those under your command and you already will be doing a lot"
"I understand.." Chi said giving him a serious nod and look before adding with a slight hopeful tone, "But...does this mean we're pursuing a forbidden romance?" she asked her gaze full of desire and hope for his answer as Jack gave a blink frowning in thought in how to phrase his answer while searching his heart for it.
"I...I wont be against it.." said Jack after a pause "Im...not sure if I will be able to...be up to it however"
"What do you mean?" Chi asked him with a frown
"I..well...never have been on a relationship before" said the samurai "even less with someone..like you"
"Hehe good....puts us on even ground." Chi said with a slight smirk, "After all you were my first.." she leaned her head against his chest, "and I'd like to try to make you my only."
"Ummm...." Jack hugged Chi back "I...maybe...umm..sorry...im not good with this" he called back.
He wanted to say something, but after all the revelations and events that have happened (not just the last 24h) he couldnt think straight
"Honestly neither am I.." Chi responded with a weak smile, "I've read plenty of romance novels...but this is the first time i find myself in a situation straight out of it."
she said shaking her head, "but however this started...and despite how quickly it started...I know what I feel for you Jack....and...i want to see where this path takes us." she looked up into his eyes, "even with the danger of my father."
"Ummm if you are up to it.." Jack sighed "I..could try...but right now..." he looked to the sky "I need to track down your father and see if can stop him before he hurt someone"
"Right...I only wished we could have more time together." Chi admitted with a sigh before adding with a faint blush, "or that could give you a proper good bye."
Jack kneeled.
"then let this be a promise to see us again" he said kissing the girl again
And at that moment any doubts or unease Chi felt about this relationship, her new path, and betraying her father faded away. As she was instead filled with warmth and love as she wrapped her arms around the taller mans neck and returned the kiss as best she could.
With Jack returning the hug enjoying the warm coming from her and the sweet taste of her lips
With the moment seeming to last for eternity before it ended all too soon, "until our paths cross again Princess." Jack said with a respectful nod and smile before turning and bounding off leaving Chi to sway with a smile and flushed face, "i'm going to marry that man someday."
she told herself in a distracted daze before shaking her head frowning realizing that things had and were about to change....and she needed to not only do a lot of thinking but a lot of training and planning in order to help Jack defeat her father than.....well they could worry about what would happen next when they got to that point.
"Ok first of all see if Alfred is ok" she said remembering her wounded butler "then began planing"
After all she had a lot of work to do...and entire world that her father destroyed to fix....and she would do it....no matter how long it took...she would show Jack she was worthy of his trust...and his love.
