Straight to the point, it goes on ...

Rainy season - part 4

(That was mean) Ryoga managed, panting.
(Good!) Replied Shampoo, who was also out of breath.
The two lay next to each other and breathed a little. The Amazon half rose and bent over the lost boy.
(Do you understand what I was trying to tell you?) She asked challengingly.
(Yes, I have, peace, alright?) He said soothingly to her.Shampoo nodded in satisfaction. Then they both paused as they realized how close they were and, most importantly, in what way. The blood began to rush in his ears and his cheeks reddened.
(Uh, uh, yeah ...) the lost boy stammered, trying to get his heartbeat under control.
She moved away from him a little and looked embarrassed.
Before either of them could say anything, the door to the room opened and Cologne stepped into the room.
(There I am again), she was astonished to see that both of them turned bright red. The old Amazon raised her eyebrows.
(Is there something you want to tell me about?) She asked calmly.

(I should have guessed), Cologne stated dryly.
(Forgive an old woman's reservations), she continued calmly, (but for a moment I really believed ...)
The young people's faces reddened again at these words.
(Great-grandmother), Shampoo exclaimed indignantly.
The old Amazon laughed and waved her hand.(Take it easy, after all you're at an age where something like that could well be imagined ...)
Then she got up and stretched.
(I'm a little tired), Cologne said, still a little amused, and turned to go. (Ah, on the occasion), she stopped for a moment and looked at her granddaughter (if you want him, I'll allow you to do it!)
With these words, the Amazon matriarch left the room, leaving two very shocked teenagers behind. When Ryoga found his voice again, he looked at Shampoo.
(What did she mean by that? But not ...), the prodigal boy broke off when he saw the look on her face.
#Or maybe yes? # It crossed his mind as Ryoga felt his cheeks burn.
So they sat in silence and did not know what to do next.
Finally the young Amazon broke the silence.
(Ryoga, we need to talk) she began hesitantly.

Ryoga looked uncertainly at the amazon.(It's not because I embarrassed you, is it?) He asked, bowing his head.
She jumped up and grabbed his hand.
(Don't think that! Ryoga, we're friends!)
The prodigal boy raised his head again and smiled in relief.
(Yes, we are), he replied firmly.
Shampoo exhaled.
(I actually wanted to ask you if you know ... what great-grandmother was talking about ... if you understood what she allowed me), she started the conversation again.
Ryoga frowned.
(If you want it, then I'll allow it to you.)
Those words were still hanging in the room because the implications of it all were ... immoral.
(Well, I ... didn't think about it) the prodigal boy said hastily, avoiding her gaze.
The amazon made a face.
(I don't believe you) she said and looked at him doubtfully.
Ryoga sighed.
(Yes, you are right), he finally admitted.
That made her smile for a moment, then Shampoo turned serious again.(She made you my lover, Ryoga), the girl got to the heart of the matter.
His eyes widened and he swallowed.
(There .. There ... she can't do that ...), the boy stuttered, embarrassed, but Shampoo nodded.
(She can do that, my tribe has some of its own ... rules and laws for living together), Shampoo began to tell (we women have the right to choose a ... lover, also next to our own husband, provided of course , the elders allow it. They do so when one's husband’s performance is unsatisfactory.)
At these words, the young Amazon's cheeks also reddened. (Or they consider it necessary for other reasons.)
Ryoga let out a deep breath as he looked away from her. Finally he sighed and looked up again.
(Your great-grandmother must have misunderstood something), said the embarrassed man to Shampoo.
She shook her head.
(Not quite), she said calmly and looked him straight in the eye.Then the Amazon grabbed his hands and squeezed them tight.
(Ryoga, you are ... dear to me and ...) Shampoo hesitated a moment (if you want, I will accept you as my lover), she said to him in a firm voice.

Ryoga sat frozen with Shampoo still holding his hands.
Inside he was racing, alternating between hot and cold.
(Listen, shampoo!) He croaked, (You are also dear to me, but ... don't you think we should wait? I mean ...), he broke off helplessly and didn't know what to do next.
The Amazon smiled up, secretly relieved that she had thought the same thing.
Only Shampoo had considered it an obligation to offer that to her newfound friend.
(You are probably right), the girl answered the astonished boy and looked at him tenderly.
(Ryoga, I'm glad we're friends) she said gently, and kissed his cheek.
He felt his heart threaten to burst, but managed to keep his composure with difficulty.(It's okay) he mumbled softly and smiled shyly back.
So they sat together for a while and held each other's hands.

The next morning it finally stopped raining. With a heavy heart the Amazon brought the lost boy back to the shrine. While he slowly shouldered his rucksack, the violet-haired girl watched him in silence.
(Do you have to go?) She asked thoughtfully.
Ryoga returned her gaze solemnly. (Yes, but I will come back again, I promise you.)
Shampoo nodded at his words.
(I hope so ...) she replied.
When the lost boy finally marched off, the Amazon stared after him for a long time, even after he had long since disappeared from her sight.
(Come back, you promised) the girl whispered sadly.

End of the 4th part ...

Well, originally this would have been the planned ending for this story, but somehow I still wrote a fifth chapter that will come in in a few weeks.Why so late? Knowing that I want to have the more or less second section of the story ready and then to throw all of the stuff online in a relatively short time .....
See you
