Bad Medicine

DISCLAIMER IS IN CHAPTER 1


Briefly, she thought over all that she had read, all the studying of Shigure’s books that she had done in preparation of this night, and she flushed a bright red. But then the smoke in the room reasserted itself, and the chemicals from the food she had eaten sped up her heartbeat. Finally, she felt Akito’s blood that she had tasted take affect – she felt the goddess within her, and she realized that all her studying had been just to calm her down before this night. She already had all the knowledge she needed inside of her.

She walked over to Yuki. She leaned over and whispered in his ear, “I do love you, Yuki. Always remember that. If I could break the curse any other way, I would. But if this is what it takes, then this is what I will do.” She moved to his other ear. “It is my dearest wish to set you free.” As she distracted him by whispering, her hands reached within his ceremonial takesode, and found his already erect member. “May I please you, Yuki?”

She knelt before him, naked – like in so many of his dreams. Her tiny hand wrapped itself around his shaft, and she lowered her mouth to it. She gently licked at the head, then took the length into her warm mouth. His head fell back as he moaned.

A gasp from Kisa brought him back, and he pulled Tohru up. “Tohru, no. No. Please.”

“Does… Does Yuki-kun not want me?”

“No! I mean Yes! I mean… God, Tohru, you’re all I’ve ever wanted! But not like this.”

“Yuki-kun. It has to be this way. This is the only way to set you all free. If you love me… if you love your family… take what I *can* give you.” Then she whispered in his ear, “and know that if I could be yours and yours alone, I would. Pretend I’m the only one here if you need to. But let me please you, Yuki.” She kneeled in front of him. She fought to keep the tears from spilling from her eyes as she begged, “Please!”

Her little hands had made their way back to his hardened length and began pumping him. All he could do was nod and moan, as she lowered herself back to face his cock and began to suck on him again.

“Oh, God, Tohru! YES!” He came rather quickly. As this was the first time for him as well, it was to be expected. Tohru sucked the first spurt and swallowed it. The rest she allowed to splash on her bare skin, marking her. No one noticed that upon conclusion Yuki transformed into his rat shape. He lay exhausted, but watched to see what would come next.

She crawled then to the next position at the table, where Hatsuharu sat dumbfounded. She leaned up to him, and the smell of Yuki on her was overpowering. She whispered in his ear, “This will help you to be with Rin. Just keep your eyes on her, and remember that this is what I’m doing this for. Imagine I’m her if you need to.”

He nodded and locked gazes with the horse.

She bent down and opened his robe to reveal his amazingly huge member. (AN: He is a bull after all!) She used both hands to wrap around it, and used just her tongue to tease the tip. She bounced up and down, licking as much of the member as she could, and made her hands work as fast as she could, keeping enough of her saliva on the shaft to keep it lubricated, and sucking hard on the tip. When the tips of one hand brushed the undersac of his balls, he shrieked, “RIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnn!” as he came forcefully in Tohru’s mouth.

Across the table, one hand flew up to Rin’s mouth, and she started to silently cry. But not once did their locked gazes break. Not even after he had transformed.

Tohru reached one hand to her mouth to take some of his come out of her mouth and wipe it on her breast, next to the splotch from Yuki. Then she swallowed the remainder and crawled under the cow, and over to the next position.

Kisa looked at Tohru with terror in her eyes. Not fear of Tohru, but fear for her – and a lack of understanding of how… what could be coming.

Tohru hugged the tiger to her and held her tight. She whispered in the tiger’s ear, “I’m sorry that this will be your first experience with this. I’m sure Hiro will do a much better job of it than me. And I know… you’re like a sister to me, so this is really weird. But… I’m thinking of it as if… If this were the only way to save your life, would it be that weird? No. I don’t think so. So that’s how I’m thinking of it. But… It may be easier if you try to imagine that it’s not me, but Hiro, okay? He does love you, you know.”

The tiger blushed, looked at Hiro and nodded. Then she grimaced and said, “I love you, too, Sissy. I’m sorry that you have to do this.”

Tohru smiled and hugged her harder, then used her hands to stroke down Kisa’s front. When her hand brushed over the fabric that covered her breasts, Kisa gasped. Tohru’s hands worked down Kisa’s sides, and parted the kimono so that she could nip at the girl’s
nipples. Meanwhile, her hands had found their way inside the girls kimono and began stroking her folds.

Her eyes moved to Hiro’s, but the fear and envy she saw in them was too much. She mouthed, “Only you, Hiro,” as she closed her eyes. Hiro’s widened in shock. Despite the envy he felt for that stupid girl, Kisa’s words created a warmth that spread out through his belly, down to his already hardened member, which throbbed at the scene in front of him.

As Tohru felt the dampness of Kisa increase, her thumb flicked at her nub and she slid one finger inside the girl. Kisa gasped, and then moaned. Tohru continued to suck at her breast, and worked her hand in and out of the girl until Kisa threw her head back and Tohru could feel her walls clamping onto her fingers in orgasm. As the juices flowed freely, Tohru removed her hand, licked some of the contents off, and rubbed the next onto herself, next to Haru’s mark.

She crawled over to Momiji, petting the tiger’s head as she went by.

Before she could even say anything, Momiji said, loud enough for all to hear, “Only you, Tohru, could love us enough to do this. No matter whether this works or not, you are the most giving person I have ever met, and we are so lucky to know you. I will never forget your kindness.” He smiled at the girl, and kissed her firmly on the mouth. As she broke away, startled, he grinned shyly and said, “I always wanted to do that.” Then he laughed and shrugged at her look of incredulity.

His laughter broke her free from her shock, and she smiled at the rabbit. Without further delay, she bent over, and took him fully into her mouth. She fondled his balls with one hand, and used only her mouth and tongue, with as quick a rhythm as she could manage, to bring him over the edge. It didn’t take long – rabbits are known for being quick – before he had transformed into a bunny. He twitched his nose at her, as she wiped some of his essence out of her mouth, and marked herself next to the Tiger’s mark, then swallowed the remainder. He nuzzled her as she passed him on her way to Hatori.

Looking at Hatori, she began to blush. She leaned to his ear and whispered softly, “I can never replace Kana, and I wouldn’t try to. But maybe if you imagine her in my place it will be easier.”
He smiled gently at her, lifted her chin, and whispered back, “No, Tohru. It will actually be easier if I imagine it’s *you*.” He also kissed her fully on the lips, then again whispered in her ear, “I’ve always wanted to do that, too.” She felt her heartbeat increase in rate, and she swallowed hard before bowing to the task ahead of her.

For everyone to hear, he said, “I’m sorry that you have to go through this, Tohru. You truly are the most special girl I’ve ever met.” And then, his head went back in ecstasy as the girl he hadn’t dared to allow himself to dream about did things with her tongue that should be illegal – that probably were illegal in some areas of the world.

As he came in her mouth, he transformed into a seahorse. Akito, foreseeing this need, had crossed the room with a dish of seawater, and instead of falling several feet to land on the cushion at the table, instead, he fell just a few inches into the dish. Akito set the dish down, and kissed Tohru on the head before going back to her place on the chaise lounge.

Next came the snake. She kissed him on the cheek as she saw the fear in his normally jovial eyes. “Don’t worry,” she whispered to him. “Yuki will not hold this against you. He’ll understand. And he’ll need you more than ever after tonight. I promise. Will you promise to try to meet him halfway, and to be there for him?”

Speechless, he merely nodded to her, and she wrapped her fingers around his shaft, using the tip of her tongue to flick at the head, snake-like.

Normally, he would have held out as long as possible – to increase his pleasure and his. But, understanding that this was not about that, he allowed himself the freedom to lose control quickly. As she felt him tighten around her, she knew it wouldn’t be long and took his whole member in her mouth and sucked. He exploded down her throat, and she quickly released, so that she would not accidentally swallow it all. There was just enough left for her to use to mark herself next to the dragon’s mark. The snake coiled itself on his cushion, and bowed his head in respect to her as she passed on to the next Sohma.

Rin. She leaned in to Rin’s ear and whispered, “He loves you and only you. You know that now. I hope, once you’re free, you’ll let him know how much you love him, too.” She mimicked the same actions she had on Kisa – but Rin’s experience allowed her for much more room. She ended up having to bend down and use her tongue to flick at the nub, while her hand stretched Rin’s passage, and wiggled inside her, looking for the “G” spot. As she felt Rin tighten around her, she sucked on her clit, and wiggled her fingers more in the spot she had found. There had been no sounds emanating from Rin until that point, when she found herself shrieking, “HAAAAARUUUUUUUUUU!” as her juices flooded around Tohru’s hand, and worked into her mouth.

Tohru smiled as she leaned back, licked her lips clean and swallowed, then wiped her hand next to Ayame’s mark. Then she crawled under the horse toward Hiro.

He grimaced at her, and grimaced harder at the way he found his member twitching in response at the knowledge that she was coming to please him.

Tohru smiled gently at the sheep and whispered to him, “She loves you. And now you’ll get to be together without fear. I know you’ll be her prince. Don’t worry, she won’t hold this against you if you don’t hold it against her.” She moved to his other ear. “You may want to watch her, or just close your eyes and imagine I’m her. It may help.” She smiled kindly at him, kissed his forehead, then moved down to kiss his other head.

He gasped and frantically looked for Kisa, who smiled sadly at him. “I will be your prince, Kisa,” he muttered. The silence of the room allowed the words that were not intended to be heard to carry to the tigress, and she purred acceptance to him.

That sound, combined with Tohru’s ministrations allowed him to come quickly. He moaned, “Kisa,” softly as he came. And Tohru swallowed and marked herself, then moved on.

Ritsu was next. “I’m sor-” Tohru cut him off by placing a finger across his lips. She leaned up to his ear and whispered, “Ritsu, you are here for a reason. My wish for you is that you can accept that there is a reason. Then you won’t need to apologize, because you’ll be too busy enjoying the search for that reason.” She kissed his cheek, then leaned to his other ear. “And after this is done, tell Shigure he needs to introduce you to his editor.” She smiled at him, then leaned down to pleasure him as well.

When she was done, marked and swallowed, she crawled past the adorable monkey and came face-to-face with Kureno. She smiled at him, then whispered to him, “After this is all over with, promise me you’ll take care of Uo for me?”

Without waiting for an answer, she began bending to her task, but he stopped her. He pulled her to him and whispered in her ear, “But I’ve been cured from the curse for years! Everyone else has turned into their animal! How can this work? I can’t let you do this if it’s only doomed to fail – how will I ever look her in the eyes?”

She stopped him with a kiss on the cheek and said, “Trust me. It will work. And she will love you and need you.” She bent down to her task. His moans of “Oooo” and “Ohhh” were misinterpreted as just sighs of pleasure by everyone except Tohru, who knew this meant they would be happy after she was gone.

When he came into her mouth, the following poof as he transformed shocked him, and he squawked! She smiled at the rooster, patted his head, then marked herself and moved on.

Shigure. She smiled up at him sadly. She was reminded of that line from the Wizard of Oz, “I think I’m going to miss you most of all.” He reached down and stroked his thumb along her cheek. “Little flower,” he said, then stopped so that he wouldn’t cry. Of all those in the room, he was the only one there who knew that at the end of everything there would be a sacrifice. She saw the look in his eyes and knew that he knew.

“You never told me you knew about this ritual, ‘Gure-kun,” she whispered. “All you needed to do was ask.” She smiled at him. “I only wish that you finally get your heart’s deepest desire. That your dream finally comes true.”

She pulled back from his ear, and tried to look him in the eye, but his guilt wouldn’t allow him to meet her gaze. “Look at me, Shigure,” she said. Dutifully, he raised his eyes. She kissed his forehead and both cheeks. Then she gave him a peck on the nose, which startled him into a laugh. “That’s better,” she said. “You’re best when you’re happy and laughing. That’s what I love most about you, Shigure-niisan.”

She leaned back in to his ear, “You *do* deserve the love you want, whether you think you do or not.”

He was the only one that she looked up at while she took him into her mouth. He smiled down at her, and said, “Thank you, Tohru.” Then, he started to cry as his pleasure built. The remaining Jyuunishi looked on in shock as Shigure’s eyes leaked all the tears that he had kept inside, tied to all his seemingly hopeless hopes and dreams. As his pleasure continued to build, the tears flowed harder and faster.

Over on the chaise lounge, Akito watched, and was almost surprised to notice that what she was feeling was jealousy as her proxy began ministering to the dog. She hadn’t felt that with any of the others – not even Yuki, and she would have expected that if she was going to feel jealous, it would be of Yuki.

When the tears began falling from Shigure’s eyes, Akito clenched her fists, tighter and tighter until her nails punctured her palms which began to bleed.

Then, as the pleasure came to a head, he shrieked out, “AKIIIIITO!” The goddess fell back against the chair in shock, and began to cry. ‘He does love me.’

As the rest of the zodiac turned to look at first Shigure and then Akito, she found that she was shaking, and she held her bloodied fists up to her face as she continued to truly and freely cry for the first time in more years than she could remember.

Tohru smiled at Shigure, and at Akito, and left them to stare at each other as she crawled over to Kagura.

Kagura was crying freely by the time Tohru got to her. “You really are going to save us, aren’t you?” she asked through her tears.

“I’m going to try.”

Tohru kissed the girl on the mouth, and Kagura kissed her back fully. Their tongues twined, and Kagura moaned pleasure into Tohru’s mouth. Tohru pulled out of the kiss, and kissed over to the boar’s ear. “After tonight, there won’t be anything preventing you and Kyo from a real relationship. Always remember that I love you both, and that I’m rooting for you. You’re such a wonderful person, Kagura. Never ever forget that.”

Kagura whispered back to her, “I love you, too, Tohru.”

Then Tohru kissed down the boar’s neck, parting her kimono as she went. She suckled for a while at each breast while her hand started to play with the tight curls that led toward Kagura’s folds. Kagura moaned and Tohru kissed down the boar’s belly, past her navel. Her hand guided the folds open for her tongue to enter, and she began licking at her slit, then thrusting her tongue in and out of her friend’s hot passage as the fingers of her other hand stroked her little jewel – first with a soft caress, and then as the moans became more insistent with firm repetitive strokes.

She felt her friend arch, leaning toward a pleasure that Tohru – as of yet – had never known, and she moaned into her friend as her tongue thrust in as far as it could reach. That extra vibration sent Kagura over the edge and she came – hard. As her juices flowed over Tohru’s tongue and into her mouth, Tohru sat up, marked herself and swallowed. She knelt at the head of the table, and bowed toward Akito, not realizing that as she did, she bared everything to all the animals at the table.

Then, she turned and faced the animals. “As I am acting as Akito’s proxy, I will call you my jyuunishi. My jyuunishi, please.” She bowed to them all. “Allow me to please your spirits.”
