The Phoenix in a Foreign Labyrinth

Chapter 11 – Shinjutsu

A few mornings later, Alice did not rise from her bed in her usual fashion, but stayed there curled up. Yune asked what the matter was, fearing that perhaps she had somehow injured Alice in their love-play the previous evening. Alice set her mind at ease and said it was just the curse, bringing with it the usual cramps that she suffered badly from during that time.

Hearing this, Yune went into her room, opened her trunk, and after a few moments, came back holding a rolled-up piece of silk cloth. She asked Alice to pull back the covers, lie on her back on the bed, and close her eyes. Lying there naked, Alice heard Yune doing something with the silk cloth, and then she felt slightly sharp but still delightful sensations in her breasts. Almost immediately, her cramps started to subside, and despite Yune’s request, curiosity overwhelmed her. She opened her eyes, and looking down towards her breasts, she saw to her amazement that Yune was carefully inserting fine, silver needles into them.

‘Oh Yune, what is this wonderful thing you are doing to me?’ asked Alice.

‘It’s called shinjutsu,’ replied Yune, ‘it stimulates the lines of energy that pass over and through the human body. By use of these needles, I can control this energy, relieving pain, or even causing you to experience pleasure.’

‘Please then, Yune, use your needles wherever you will, but use them quickly,’ said Alice, ‘for if you carry on like this then I must surely come soon!’

So Yune applied the needles to Alice’s breasts, her stomach, her legs, her thighs, and even to her pussy. Alice’s excitement grew rapidly, and soon it was clear that she was very close to coming. At that moment, Yune very carefully placed her final needle right into the tip of Alice’s clitoris, causing her immediately to climax with great intensity. As her body shook, all the needles shook too, stimulating her even more and prolonging her orgasm, and she appeared as one electrified.

‘Yune, please,’ cried Alice breathlessly, ‘I am in ecstasy, but if this continues much longer then I think I shall die of it!’ So, Yune quickly and carefully removed the needles from Alice’s body. As some of them were removed, tiny drops of blood appeared, which Yune brushed away, leaving small, red streaks on Alice’s pale skin.

An idea suddenly occurred to Yune, and she once more went back into her room to get something from her trunk, coming back in holding a small brush. She parted Alice’s legs, gently prised open her pussy and pressed a finger to its entrance. It came away dark red with menstrual blood. Yune smiled, and then dipped the tip of her brush there. To Alice’s surprise, Yune then started to write with the brush on Alice’s body. She formed calligraphic characters with fluency, crafting striking lines and swirling curves, and with every stroke, returning her brush to Alice’s “ink pot”.

When she had finished, Yune licked the “ink pot” clean, and Alice, who was by now covered from the neck to the tops of her legs in the most exquisite calligraphy, asked what it was that Yune had written. She replied, ‘It’s a Japanese poem that likens your body to a delicate flower.’

Alice was very moved, and when Yune started to lick the poem off she asked her to stop, saying that she wished she could keep the writing there forever. Of course she knew she could not, so later on they went into the bathroom, and because Alice could not now immerse herself in water, they stood together in the bath and Yune soaped and sponged her all over with great care.

After this, at Alice’s insistence, shinjutsu, calligraphy and sponge bathing became part of their daily routine until her menstrual flow had stopped.

Notes:

Shinjutsu, 針術, is of course acupuncture. Although Japan has its own unique style of acupuncture, the style of “ero-acupuncture” that Yune is using here is entirely fictitious.

The poem Yune uses is by Nakatsuka Ippekiro, and is from the first half of the 20^th century.
