The Cursed Game

Kentaro was sitting a chair waiting for news on his friends Akira and Daisuke. They were still unconscious from the venom of the Tsuchgumo.Please pull through!The doctor comes in. "How are they, doc?"

"Not good, they will remain inSleep Modeunless they receive a sleep cure."

"Where can I find a sleep cure?"

"Ask the Kitsune chief, he would know. This is beyond me."

Kentaro nods and leaves.

Kentaro appears before the Kitsune chief. "You're timing is impeccable for the next mission has been opened up for you."

"I cannot do this alone, I need Yumiko."

"The whore is still confined, if you want her, you'll have to wait until she's released."

"But what about my friends?"

"They'll be alight, they're just inSleep Mode. But I should warn you, if you complete all the levels with them inSleep Mode, both sleep forever so they might as well be dead right now."

"That won't do, I need them."

"Well I suggest plan accordingly."

Kentaro nods.

I awake, day 2. A ping goes off and I check to see that it was a message scroll but I didn't care to open it. I still had two more days of confinement. The only bright side from this is that my cell is clean so that mean no visit from Akaname the filth licker. I shudder at the thought of its tongue and how I became aroused by it. That was sick and wrong.

I hear food steps approaching and look up to see two police officers and Kentaro. "What you came here to gloat at me!?"

"Yumiko listen, Akira and Daisuke are inSleep Modeand I am going to 2ndLevel, so when...."

"Wait, how do you have access to the 2ndLevel? You found a cheat code?"

"Yumiko have you not read your message scroll? We completed the 1stLevel."

"Oh well good for you! I guess Hide is too busy to come with you!"

"Hide is dead," he answers grimly.

I am stunned. "What....what?!"

"Yes Hide was killed by the Jorōgumo."

"You're joking!"

"It's on the message scroll!"

I open it.

1stLevel Completed

Survivors: Akira, Daisuke and Kentaro.

Casualties: Ito Hide.

I fall to my knees. I couldn't believe it. Hide was dead. I turn away from Kentaro.

"Yumiko, I need your help to complete the 2ndLevel. Please."

I continue to have my face turned away and soon he departs. He thinks I'm grieving but it's the exact opposite. I have a smile on my face. Hide got what he deserved. They're the ones who kicked me out of Five Leaf Clover, the team I founded and now they come crawling back to me. Yeah sure I'll help but only so I can take back my position as leader! At that moment the memories of Hide flooded into my mind. I'm not gonna cry, I'm not gonna but tears were streaming from my face. Damn it, you just had to get yourself killed. Dumb bastard!

2

I am released and the blasted filth licker never came back. Things were already looking up. I meet with Kentaro who takes me over to where Akira and Daisuke were being kept.Sleep Mode, huh. "So where are we supposed to find a cure?"

"2ndLevel, that's all I know."

"Well let's go." Once I find the cure they'll be thankful and I'll be in charge again! My samurai armor appears with everything in my backpack but my stats do not change, sigh.

We approach the 2ndLeveltoriigate and the red with black swirls portal opens up. I gulp and look at Kentaro who says, "Courage." I nod and we proceed into it.

A second later we appear in a mountainous area.

MISSION OBJECTIVE:FIND THE YAMAMBA

"I don't like the sound of that," Kentaro says.

"What is the Yamamba?"

"A spirit of an old crone who lives in the mountains."

"Well the previous objective said you had to slay but this one doesn't so we're in good shape."

"I guess."

"Come on, perhaps she can lead us to the sleep cure we seek."

He nods and we move out. Time seems to go by slowly, not that it mattered. We were stuck in The Cursed Game until we completed it. 1 Level was done; I just had to get through this one and I'll be in great shape.

Midday comes and I am hot and getting tired. I take a swig of water. All in front of me was Kentaro which infuriated me. I was the leader and yet I was behind. I would reclaim my position! We come to a slope and then the ground gives way and I fall but Kentaro grabs me.

"You alright?"

I nod.

"Careful."

I nod again but I was still angry."Careful!"I'm the leader! We suddenly hear a scream and we make our way and see a woman being attack by bandits.

"Leave that woman alone!" Kentaro yells.

One of the bandits shoots at Kentaro with a pistol but he blocks the shot with his Masamune. Two of the bandits charge at us but I cut down the first one and Kentaro cuts down the second one. The first bandit shoots at me but I block it and he retreats. I purse after him and two more bandits appear and I cut them down but at the same time I suffer a hit and my health is 95. I quickly go to my backpack and switch to my bow. I take aim as the running bandit and then I fire the arrow which hits him and he goes down.

Kentaro and the woman approach me. "Arigatō. I'm Oboro."

"I'm...."

"I'm Oda Yumiko, leader of the Five Leaf Clover Samurai Team of the Tokugawa Shogunate," I quickly said, interrupting Kentaro.

"Um yes, I am Aizawa Kentaro."

"I was on my way home when those bandits attacked."

"We're heading through the mountains trying to find a sleep cure for our friends."

"I see, well my village might be able to help you. Follow me."

Kentaro nods and despite being angry that I was once again following instead of leading. But I thought about it, I knew nothing about where I was going so let the guide be fodder.

NEW OBJECTIVE:ESCORT OBORO TO HER VILLAGE

It was an escort mission. As we walk, more bandits appears and we take them out. We continue through the mountains. I was already getting tired of this but in order to get home I had to complete the mission. I save them so they would owe me! I am the leader!

I start to notice it seems to be no end of mountains in sight. "Um so, you live in a mountain village?"

"Yes."

Terrific, I roll my eyes.

We continue walking and slay a few more bandits and then we come to a bridge.

"It's best if we go one at a time," Oboro suggests. We both nod and she goes first. Once Oboro was across, I go next. I slowly go across the bridge. Don't look down, don't look down, don't look down! I reach the end leaving only Kentaro. As he makes his way, a strange birdlike creature appears. It had the body of a human but with feathered wings and a beak and its face was red.

"It's Karasu Tengu!" Kentaro screams. "Run!"

We run and I look back as Kentaro runs across the bridge but the tengu grabs him and carries him off.

"I'm sorry about your friend."

"I'm not. Let's go."

2

Kentaro is dropped on a peak. He looks to see several tengu including Sōjōbō, King of the tengu approach, unlike the other tengu, his face was white. "Why have you samurai come here?"

"We came to find a sleeping cure for our friends Akira and Daisuke who are insleep modeand can't be awaken without the cure. We mean you no harm."

"You are a cursed samurai; your presents alone defiles our sacred mountains."

"I am sorry, please, just let us get the cure and then we'll be on our way."

"What is your name?"

"Aizawa Kentaro."

"Well Kentaro, let's see what you are made of since you slew Tsuchgumo."

"I did not slay the Tsuchgumo, that was my friend Hide who did it. I slew Jorōgumo."

"My mistake. Anyways let's spar!"

2

"How much further?" I grumble.

"It won't be long now. Do you think your friend is still alive?"

"Let's keep moving." He got what he deserved like Hide! I'm the leader of the Five Leaf Clover Team! Even though I thought that I couldn't stop the imagines of all the good times we shared from flooding in. I don't know why, they betrayed me! I've done nothing wrong!

Another hour passes and we reach the mountain village were people tended to their business. "Home.arigatō."

OBJECTIVE COMPLETED

YOU'VE EARNED 300 RYŌ

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE UNCOMPLETED

Time to visit the shop. I find it and buy three herbs and then I search for the sleep cure but it was unavailable. I only had two slots left in my backpack but now that I have money I could sell my Muramasa. I attempt to sell it.You cannot sell this item.Shit! I don't want this cursed item. I leave the shop full of disappointment. I suppose I should eat before I attend to my objective. I start looking for a place to eat, I would be lucky if I found one considering this is a small mountain village. I spot an inn and decide to check it out just in case I have to stay over. I enter and see a wild looking old woman in a tattered kimono and white unkempt hair.

"Konnichiwa, you're the samurai that bravely saved Oboro.Arigatō."

"You're welcome. I'm just looking around."

"I am the Yamamba and the owner of this inn.

"You are? I've been looking for you."

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE COMPLETED

NEW OBJECTIVE:OBTAIN THE SLEEP CURE

"Have you now?"

"Yes."

"You're welcome to stay as long as you like. Now you must be hungry."

"Yes." I watch in awe as she conjures up bread, soup and water for me.

"So why have you come looking for me?"

"To be honest I have no idea. But I do seek sleep cure for two people."

"Yes I do have sleep cure but I'm not giving it to for free. That'll be 2000 ryō."

"2000 ryō!? Why that much?"

"The sleep cure will not only cure your friends; it will prevent them from being effective again. One alone cost 1000 ryō and you are in need of two."

"Come on! I brought whatever her name is back! Doesn't that count for something!?"

"Not when you're the cursed one."

"I don't know what you're talking about!"

"Oh so now you will lie?"

"I, I"

"I maybe old but I am no fool. Here's what you can do, buy one and earn more coins by either slaying foes or working."

"None of the bandits I killed dropped any loot."

"They will, you just had a rough go at it."

"I don't have for this!"

"Well that's your only option." The Yamamba starts to walk away but stops. "There is another way."

"There is? Name it!"

"Make love to me and I shall give you two."

"WHAT!?"

"Yes."

"OK, NOW THAT'S JUST WRONG!"

"Are you not a whore?"

I ball my hand into a fist.

"Word does travel fast so take it over leave it, cursed one, I mean cursed whore."

"No!" I leave.

"Really? Leaving without finishing the free food I provided for you?"

I eat fast.

"Slow down."

"Shut up, crone!"

"My such disrespect."

"Disrespect!? You're the one who called me a whore!"

"I'm just calling it like I'm seeing it. You know what you are deep down!"

I grit my teeth and finish eating. I was going to leave and kill some bandits.

2

Masamune was knocked from Kentaro's hand and he receives a kick to stomach. His health was on 30. "You're weak but you have heart and despite being cursed, you're noble," Sōjōbō says.

"I just want to complete The Cursed Game and go home with my remaining friends intact."

"Even the whore?"

"Sigh, yes even Yumiko. I don't care about being the leader."

"Well you should, I know what you're thinking, don't lie, just accept it. I'm recharging your health and giving your sword a power-up.You've gained The Wind Slasher.

"Arigatō."

"There are bandits so do dispose of any you encounter and one more thing, a house divided cannot stand."

Kentaro nods and leaves.

2

The arrow strikes the last bandit but he drops only ten ryō. I sigh, most of the bandits carried nothing. I wanted to get through this level as quickly as possible but it didn't seem like such a thing was possible. I sigh again as I was now considering the alternative. No I couldn't but then I thought about it. Kentaro was MIA possibly KIA and I was going to need Akira and Daisuke. They were going to accept me as the rightful leader I've always been since I would be the one who saved their worthless lives.

I make my way back to the inn. I killed many bandits but only managed to make 70 ryō and they didn't drop anything I could sell. My arrows were low too and I found only a few that were unbroken. I inhale and exhale, I had to do it, for my sidekicks. I enter the inn.

"Welcome back," the Yamamba smiles. "Are you accepting my offer?"

"Yeah," I sigh. "Let's get this over with!"

She takes me by the hand into a spare room. I remove my gear and she removes her tattered kimono. I could barely look at her decrepitude body but was this really worse than Akaname the filth licker?

"I...I, I've never done this with a woman before," I stuttered.

"Really? I figured with you being a whore and all....well it's pleases me to be the first." She approaches me and kisses me. Her breath didn't smell bad unlike her body. I sigh and kiss her back. I was going to do my best to pretend it was Shiro. Oh Shiro, how I long to get back to you! The things I must do for love and leadership! I kiss her more aggressively. We caresses each other, her skin is soft like mine but wrinkly. I guess that's how I'll be at old age and then I realize that I'm against the wall inhaling her scent. She kisses my neck, and then I realize that I had been groaning through the caresses and kisses.

She smiles at me and I smile back. She knew the smile was fake of course but it didn't deter her one bit. She takes hold of my thighs and wraps them around herself. She starts grinding me up and down against the wall and I couldn't help but moan in pleasure. What was wrong with me? Getting off on an old female crone spirit just like the filth licker.

I wrap my arms around her as she sucks on my breasts. "OhKamiplease don't stop!" I hear her giggle. I couldn't believe I said that. I was getting wet and my clit was getting erect as she grinds harder and faster.

I was going to cum. I couldn't believe this but at this point I needed to remind Akira and Daisuke who was in charge. I started the Five Leaf Clover Team and I'll be dammed if I was going to let it be taken from me! I moan and groan louder and louder. I was in pure euphoria and then I scream.

I slide slowly to the floor panting. She licks my face cheeks and then she gives me another kiss. "So how was your first?"

"It was...." I turn my head.

"Come on admit you enjoyed it."

"Yes, Yes I did. Now can I get the sleep cure?"

"We're just getting started. Go to the center of the floor and lay down."

I sigh again and do it. She approaches me. For love and leadership. She staddles me and kisses me again. She offers me one of her sagging tits and I lick and nibble on her nipple. She moans again and then I switch breasts. I never thought I would be doing this but I had to in order to complete the 2ndLevel and show Akira and Daisuke who's boss! I continue sucking and cupping her sagging tits and then I glance at her, this was the future staring at me, I would get old one day. Damn!

A minute later she withdraws her tits and goes down to my pussy and she gives it a lick which sends a pleasurable chill up my spine. She licks my legs and inner thighs. She gives my clit a kiss and then kisses my lips. She looks up me smiling before diving in. "OhKami!" This is what Shiro does and the same for the filth licker and now this woman the Yamamba was doing it.

I was moaning, writhing and getting wetter but then she suddenly stops. She smiles at my disappointed face which I couldn't believe I had but she only adjusts positions. I was staring at her ass and knew what she wanted. This was also what I did with Shiro. I gulped because I never ate pussy before, usually it's dick but a lot of firsts were happening.

I take hold of her asscheeks and proceed to lick her old cunt. "OH!" She moans as I slowly lick. She kisses my stomach and then resumes eating my pussy. I dive in sucking on her pussy and she's instantly wet. Tasting another woman's pussy juice wasn't bad at all. Shiro did it all the time and I occasionally tasted my own juice from him.

It was honestly hard to compare tongues. I probably shouldn't though. I kiss her hard clit; I felt her nipples hard just like mine. It wasn't long before I was drinking her pussy juice and mine her mouth. As I lay there, I feel her emerging from my pussy and she turns towards me and kisses me again and I could taste my own pussy juice and she could taste hers.

She was back to sucking on my tits and I lay there moaning wishing I was back with Shiro. Damn Katsura! I feel the Yamamba's sagging tits in my face again which snaps me back into reality and I instinctively motorboat them. It's what Shiro did to mine so just like him I play with her's.

A few minutes later, she withdraws from me, part my legs, places her's between mine and starts thrusting again. We both moan loudly and become more and more wet. It seems like an endless stream coming from both vaginas. "Take over," she orders and I do my best grinding into her. I picture myself riding Shiro. "Ohhh, such a fine whore you are!" I stop and glare at her. "Don't give me that look, you know what you are!" I wanted to be done but she stops me. "Don't you want the sleep cures?" I nod. "Then ride me, whore!"

I was now on top grinding slowly; I wanted to go fast but I knew she wanted it to last as long as possible so I have to give her what she wanted. She grabs my asscheeks and smacks them. I lean down and she probes my neck with her tongue. "OHKAMII'M CUMMING!!!"

"That's right, enjoy, whore!"

We both grind each other fast and hard and then we both scream. We fall back and see each other spraying everywhere. We both panted.

She gets up first and pulls me up. "You've certainly earned the sleep cure." She smacks my ass again and we both redress. We both head out the room and she gives me the two sleep cures. "Come back anytime."

I just simply nod.

2ndLevel Completed

Survivors: Yumiko and Kentaro.

Casualties: None.

I was surprised that Kentaro was still alive and he and Akira and Daisuke would know that I am the leader of the Five Left Clover Team and that was not changing!

To be continued...
