*****
Eager as Kal had been for some more intimate time with Ikuno, the knight's talk of food had gotten to him. As they walked back into the main living area of the cavern his stomach growled noisily. He stopped in embarrassment, his hands covering the offending body part. Ikuno kept walking over to a small set of wooden shelves that appeared to be made from lashed together saplings with crude planks fitted in for holding items. She grabbed a cloth wrapped bundle and tossed it to Kal. "Here eat this before that knight comes charging in here hoping to kill a giant frog," she laughed.
"Really..." he answered glaring at her, he couldn't keep up the annoyed act for more than a few seconds before breaking down and laughing along with the oni. He opened the cloth packet to find some dried meat and cheese, the meat he guessed to be venison though he couldn't place the spices she had used, the cheese tasted like it was made from goat's milk but was firmer than he was accustomed.
As he ate he took in his surroundings, having been too distracted to truly examine Ikuno's home before. It appeared to be around 25 paces long and close to ten wide with a vent hole in the middle of the vaulted roof that smoke from the torches made its way up to before disappearing into darkness. On one side of the room was an oven, like the chair it had been carved out of a boulder, the top was polished to an almost mirror finish that Ikuno was able to cook directly on without the need for pans. To the left of the oven was her makeshift shelving where she kept all her cooking ingredients and where she had gotten his snack from. A few feet away from the other side was the oni's bed, piled high with thick furs. Kal figured that keeping warm on cold winter nights was easier with the heated rock of the oven close by.
Having already finished her own food Ikuno walked past him and set a white gourd-shaped bottle and a small ceramic cup on the bed then began undoing the buckles and ties that held on her meager clothing. Kal watched entranced as her top came off revealing a wonderful set of large blue breasts each almost as big as his head and topped by dark blue areola the size of his palm. Her nipples were easily as thick as one of his fingers and were noticeably hard.
She ran her hands down her breasts, brushing the nipples with her fingers, then down into the belt that held the furs covering her front and rear. Turning away from Kal she slowly pulled the leathers down revealing the blue globes of her ass followed by her rear pucker and finally her sex which was glistening wetly in the torchlight. Kal was reminded again how much bigger than him she was as she bent over and shook her ass at him, if he wanted to walk over and slip his tongue inside her he would barely have to bend his knees.
Thinking that sounded like fun, he took a step forward. However, the oni had been watching him and quickly stood up, moving out of reach. "Finish your food and tour," she said picking up the bottle and cup before laying on the bed, "growling bellies can ruin the mood almost as fast as a bunch of obnoxious knights." Pouring the contents of the bottle into the small cup she raised it up as if making a toast. "I'm going to enjoy some sake while you explore."
"Sake?"
"Kind of like your corn whiskey but made from rice." Ikuno downed the clear liquid in the cup, "Onis love the stuff regardless of our color but if we drink too much our skin turns red and we will stay drunk for days, months or even years. Heaven help the poor man who gets caught by a red Oni. If he's lucky she will be too drunk to keep him from escaping, if not then she's likely to accidentally fuck him to death."
"What a way to go," said Kal popping a piece of cheese into his mouth and continuing his inspection of the cave. Towards the back of the cavern there were no torches and as he got closer he could see large rectangular shapes in the darkness. Once his eyes adjusted to the light he was able to make out two large sets of carefully crafted shelves covered with rows and rows of...
"Books!" he exclaimed with surprise looking back and forth across the shelves. "Where on earth did you get so many?"
Confused, the blue oni looked up from the sake she had been about to drink, "You know how to read?"
Kal kept scanning the shelves with excitement, "My gran thought knowing how to read would be useful for my mother and bought a couple books so she could learn, as I told the knight, my mother passed that on to me. We only have three, but I've probably read them hundreds of times."
"A farmer who can read, you seem to be full of surprises Kal. There's a table back there with a globe on a stand. Touch the globe."
Stepping to the very back of the cave Kal saw a table by the wall with a chair next to it. The stand atop the table was a piece of polished wood with the lower leg and claws of some reptile or bird sticking out, in the claws was a ball made of clear crystal. Wondering why she would want him to touch something that looked so valuable he lightly tapped the globe. Pure brilliant light came flooding out of the crystal ball sending stabbing pain into Kal's eyes, which had become accustomed to the dark. Covering his eyes Kal stumbled out of the oni's library in pain and confusion, only to be met by uproarious laughter coming from the bed. Once his eyes had recovered he glared at the bed's occupant who had curled up into a ball and was holding her belly from laughing so hard, one hand holding the bottle upright so she wouldn't spill its contents. Ikuno looked up and saw him glaring at her, she sat up and tried to put on a straight face but that only lasted a second before she broke down into new peals of laughter collapsing back onto the bed.
"You could have warned me!" Kal said, trying to sound hurt, but the oni's mirth was infectious and her naked body was reminding him of what was soon to come. It's hard to stay mad at a woman you are about to sleep with.
Ikuno sat up again, wiping tears from the corners of her eyes, "My apologies Kal, I thought you knew it was a magic lantern."
Eyes wide with wonder Kal looked over at the glowing orb again, "That's magic?"
Ikuno smiled, "Yes, books are expensive and some of those are irreplaceable magical tomes. It would not do well to have torches near them. Touch the globe again to put the lantern out and come to bed, you can peruse my collection later. There are other things I would like to do before Sir Knight of such and such gets back."
Kal cautiously approached the table and tapped the crystal ball again plunging him into darkness. "Well this looks familiar," he said peering into the darkness as his eyes adjusted once again.
"Let's see if we can do something that feels familiar too," said Ikuno from the bed.
Kal turned around and stepped out of the library to see the blue oni lying on her back sideways across the bed, her head hanging off the side and mouth open as she beckoned him over. Kal shed his clothing as he approached, a smile coming to the oni's face when his pants came off and she saw he was already hard.
