It was a peaceful night in Shokushu, a huge full moon painted on the sky in all of its perfection. A cool breeze blew across the campus that contrasted with the increasing heat inside the school. Surely many girls were finding their plans for the night ruined by other monsters. In fact, Rahs just finished from doing so with a naive girl inside the library, but didn't quite satisfy completely.

Many of the students were looking forward eagerly to some kind of event that got near. At the time, the mercenary didn't know much of it; it only meant that the girls weren't so wary of their surrounding and catching them alone was much easier. But even though it was a fruitful day, Rahs found himself wanting more, but it seemed many were hidden in their bedrooms.

Before leaving the 'island' on his ship, the syrictae couldn't help but being drawn towards the beach and admiring the beauty of the landscape. The water seemed so tempting that he decided to take a swim before departing. So he approached a large rock on the beach, thinking that maybe the night wouldn't end so bad. But he did not know it was gonna end better than he thought.

Taking some time away from the campus Iruma had decided to visit the nearby forest. She dressed in what could only be called a ninja's outfit, a black shirt with something of a thin cloth mesh style near the top showing her cleavage and a pair of black shorts which were within inches of showing off the bottom curve of her ass, and this was accompanied by a mask that covered the bottom half of her face. Wrapping her long hair up in a ponytail she locked the door to her room grabbing a large black cloth bag in case she found something out there worth taking, and leaving through the window in what would be described as an amazing acrobatic feat as she leapt out the window relieving some of the force with a roll through the soft grass.

Not missing a step she took off towards the forest, and instead of a normal girl's path across the forest floor she took to the trees. The island's inhibitor's, although unknown to her, didn't seem to take enough from her as even though it was quite a bit tougher to keep her footing as she ran from tree limb to tree limb she still managed quite gracefully as she took a straight path towards the beach. "A view of the moon on the water would be quite beautiful tonight." she thought to herself.

Arriving at the large rock, Rahs looked once more at the horizon. An invisible horizontal line divided the sight in the middle; above, a dark blue filled the sky completely with small dots across the sky and the moon floating just above the line. And below it was a perfect mirror of the sky, though as if in sand, with a wavy pattern across the calm water.

It actually was too tempting for the mercenary and so began to undress himself. Even though his armor can't rust, it was such a soothing night that he didn't want to exert unnecessary strength in carrying the heavy equipment. He took off his gauntlets first, and then his boots followed, falling to the sand beside the rock with a heavy muffled 'thud' and next came his fauld and the tasset that hanged from it.

With a careful look around, Rahs made sure no one was around, and then gripped his helmet from below. A bit of effort to pull it off, he finally held his helmet that covered his face at all times. The only times when he took it off was when he was alone in his ship, and the rest of the time his face remained a mystery for everyone.
Carefully, the nude syrictae placed his helmet beside his armor and moved his tall and muscled body towards the water, the cold water covering his figure as it submerged in the darkness. He surfaced to take a deep breath, and then stayed underwater for a good while, as if trying to find an answer to a difficult question in the depths.

Moments after the syrictae had submerged himself in the water Iruma had arrived at the edge of the treeline near the beach, looking up at the star filled sky and down over the water and to the sand of the beach. "I have to admit, this is one hell of a view." she thought to herself as she looked back down at the beach just to make sure their was no one down there but to her surprise she caught the glimpse of something shiny down by a large rock.

Jumping down from the tree she quickly ran over to the rock. Looking down she asked quietly, "Armor? Where did this come from?" Bending down she started picking up the pieces and piled them into her bag and said "No matter. If someone left them here I'm sure I could find a better use for the metal." With each piece piling into her bag she came to the helmet, quite the large piece, and as she lifted it up she said "Not sure if I could find much use for this, or even fit it in my bag for that matter." And with that she placed the helmet on top of the large rock, hefting her now heavy bag and starting to walk back towards the forest.

Beneath the surface, only the sand, some stones, and the sky beyond it were illuminated by the bright moon, the rest was pure darkness. It was such a mystical feeling that soothed the mercenary's mind and body, that he could practically stay there for the rest of the night. But he had to breathe after all, and so after a good while, Rahs began to ascend towards the glazed sky.

When the sky became clear and his head was out of the water, a deep breath filled his lungs again, and the mercenary even considered to try to break his personal record of time spent underwater without breathing. But as he glanced around he noticed something. Or more specifically, the lack of something. He wiped his eyes thoroughly, as if not believing them, and looked carefully at the large rock where he had left his armor.

It was gone... Or at least most of it. Only his helmet remained on top of the rock, shining beneath the moonlight as if it were a forgotten relic of the past. Hastily, the mercenary swam towards the beach, his feet meeting the sand and his eyes meeting a silhouette walking towards the forest. It quickly became embraced by the darkness that the trees cast, though. A furious sigh was emitted and Rahs took the mask from the rock, covering his head and face once again with his trustworthy helmet. At least he was lucky enough for the thief to leave him his most precious item. But she was going to get taught a lesson about not robbing a prideful soldier's armor. And so, his body still wet from his swim, Rahs moved towards the forest, following behind the girl that stole his gear.

As she faded into the shadows of the forest, the weight of the heavy bag combined with the island's inhibitors preventing her from disappearing into the trees, she ran along a clear path quite unaware of the furious mercenary chasing her. She blended quite well with the shadows leaving only the faintest traces of a trail for her pursuer to follow as she made her way back through the forest towards the dorms, hoping to unload her haul and come back out later.

As the mercenary stepped into the forest, he wasn't able to distinguish much between the trees at first, but after following a straight path for a while, his eyes adjusted to the darkness and could clearly see the calm forest. But there was no one in sight. It was not until he noticed some footsteps on the grass and some spots on the dirt that stood out from the rest of the ground when Rahs was certain that there was someone in the woods as well.

He decided to followed where the traces led almost blindly, since they were very faint but still managed to give a direction. And so Rahs began to run along the path until his eyes caught something between the trees hidden by the darkness. It was almost impossible to see from afar, but since it was certainly something, the mercenary kept going. Finally, a tentacle sprouted from his arm and went for her feet and lashed at them, withdrawing beneath his skin after making its move. She seemed to be carrying something heavy, so Rahs slowed down, approaching her, his huge yet limp cock swaying slightly due he was completely nude. "Well, are you the one that stole my armor back in the beach? You know, that's not a very polite thing to do..." he spoke, his fingers tapping his thigh as a sign of annoyance.

Iruma was running along as quick as she possibly could with her over-loaded bag slung over her shoulder when her foot seemed to catch on something in front of her that was hidden by the darkness. The bag landed on her back as she fell to the ground, and as she pushed herself up sending the bag falling to the side she groaned "Ow..." She had stood up by the time he approached her and her well trained eyes noted his naked form looming over her.

It was then that the contents of the bag shifted letting a glimmer of metal peek from the bag. Jumping backwards she asked "So what if I did? You just left it there." Not one to be trusting after her odd encounter on her first day one of her hands rested on the belt tied about her waist. Hidden there was a rock she had carved into the shape of a kunai, she had made it out of a rock she had found soon after she got off the plane to get here deciding that she needed something to protect herself with after the mysterious disappearance of her weapons sometime during the plane ride.

Rahs wasn't that surprised that it was a girl that stole his armor from the rock, but he had also considered the chance of the thief being another monster that would even make better use than whatever Iruma would have been able to. Still, the mercenary found himself to be in front of a very voluptuous ninja-looking girl gripping her belt. Huh? For real? He hadn't encountered a kunoichi in the campus before so it was actually weird at first for him, but it seemed even more promising as well.

As she talked, the soldier's eyes were on the girl's nice cleavage revealed by her shirt. It was then that he noticed carefully how her attire hugged pretty well her curves and the mask that covered half of her face. His grin caused by the beauty in front of him was hidden by his own mask as the bag shifted somewhat and revealed one of his gauntlets shimmering under the moonlight.

"Wouldn't you do the same if you were to take a swim? Anyway, I'll take what belongs to me now, and since I'm in a great mood, for now, I will let you go unpunished for your act of thievery," Rahs said to her as he approached the bag. He must've been in a really good mood to consider not raping her there and then, but it seemed that it was not going to be that easy to simply get what was his.

Staring him down she noted that his eyes were clearly on her chest as he talked to her. Her free hand moved into his line of vision waving a finger and saying "Eyes off my chest, big guy. I know you obviously...." Pointing a finger at his huge cock before continuing she added "...don't belong here but you can at least control yourself while you talk to me."

As he came closer to her full bag she took the kunai-shaped rock out of her belt waving it in front of him as she said "It's not going to be that easy. I'm not giving up my haul unless you take it from me."

The mercenary actually chuckled when Iruma waved his gaze off her chest and pointed out that he should control where his eyes went even as he stared at the impressive visual stimulation of her cleavage. He did as told with a smile on his face, and his bright blue eyes met hers. Those big brown eyes actually had some courage in her. Heh...

By the time she warned Rahs about taking her spoils, he already had bent his upper body and had a hand on the bag. But he stopped abruptly, as if scared of her threat. He raised his head up to meet her face and then laughed before agreeing "Then I shall take it from you, kunoichi. But are you sure you'll be able to fight me with the bag and the inhibitors' effects on?"

With that, the mercenary threw the heavy at her, taking her comment about taking it from her quite literally. Iruma could just fight without it as well, but she was in for a fight now and so was Rahs as he took a fighting stance. He mentioned the disadvantages she had as a psychological attack, though it was an unnecessary one. With or without the inhibitors, he knew that he would win in a fight. He just wanted to play with her now, and there was no going back.

"Inhibitors?" she asked momentarily confused as she tried to figure out what he meant. But as the heavy bag flew towards her she simply sidestepped it, it landing with a clank behind her. She had no intention of fighting while actually carrying the bag. Taking the initiative she charged towards him, the sharp rock held downward by what served as the hilt as she slashed at his unprotected body.

"Yes, don't you know?" Rahs affirmed her casually, even as she sidestepped the bag and charged forward. A slight smirk later the mercenary had Iruma right in front of him pulling back her arm and slashing at his nude body with strength and accuracy. But he was too fast for her even though he was taking it 'easy'... More like not taking it at all.

His body quickly went downwards. His knees bent and the helmet was barely at the improvised kunai's level as his hand met her wrist. A careful automatic calculation from him enabled the mercenary to grip the kunoichi's arm and then pulling her over his body. Rahs threw her over his shoulder, making sure to at least make some distance between. And since he was not one to be more serious with a girl on the island, he quickly turned and headed for the bag, not waiting for the battle to finish, as if he considered this just child's play.

"No, I didn't know. I haven't really been here long." she managed to say as she slashed at him. Every one a miss as he seemed to be playing with her. She was unprepared for his counter however, as one blow went in she felt a strong hand grip her arm and with what seemed like no effort at all threw her over his shoulder.

She was surprised, momentarily, but as she flew through the air she managed to change direction enough to land safely on the ground and come back to her feet with a quick roll. All this had cost her time however as when she turned back towards her opponent he had nearly grabbed the bag. She rushed towards him once again, hoping to catch him from behind in an attempt negate some of the advantages he clearly possessed.

A new girl... I guess that's why I haven't seen her before, Rahs thought as she slashed at him. But he was certain she could keep slashing at him all night and that would be a bit boring for him, so he threw her off his shoulder. When he was just going to lean down to grab the bag, he could hear and even feel Iruma approaching quickly and guessed that she was gonna try an attack from behind.

The mercenary wondered how much she could take when his hand gripped the bag and decided to use it against her. He swung it to his left in a move that did not need much force and instead was based on momentum. A lax attack from him, she could've avoided it if wary enough or she could get the hit if the desire to slash him covered her senses.
