"ALL ABOARD!"
Ruri slapped at Walt's chest in a playful manner as his shout had elicited some chuckles from the others waiting to board the train.
"Walt, you are such a Nerd."
Walt grinned "Well I guess it's a good thing I found a girl into Nerds then. Most aren't."
They filed in one by one, Walt halting at one point to let an elderly lady and her granddaughter go first. The granddaughter was a hot little thing. She looked to be twenty or so. Her black hair was luscious and her skin had a nice bronze tan. She had on a knee length grey skirt and a white blouse. Her legs were shapely and clad in dark panty hose and she had on a pair of two inch pumps.
The elderly lady smiled at Walt's chivalrousness and boarded. The granddaughter smiled too, but it was defiantly not at Walt's chivalrousness. Her eyes roamed him for a hungry second before seeing Ruri. There was a brief flash of envy and then disappointment.
"She..." Ruri's gaze was following the granddaughter as she boarded the train "doesn't think you are a nerd. In fact her thoughts should get her arrested."
Walt just shook his head at Ruri and turned towards the back of the train, but was slowed as Ruri was walking mostly backwards as her eyes were still locked on the granddaughter.
"Ruri, she is going to think you're a psycho girlfriend if you keep that up."
"Me psycho? Walt, if you knew just half the things that girl is thinking about doing to you... you'd call her a psycho."
"Ruri!" Walt wasn't sure if he was more surprised at the thought that Ruri was rooting around in the girls head or about what she had found there.
"Hold on Walt, I'm leaning some interesting things here. Trust me, you'll benefit from this later."
Walt turned her head towards him, breaking her line of sight, and kissed her. Their lips parted and Walt looked her in the eye. "There is nothing you need to learn to please me. You please me just because you're you."
Ruri pointed "I think this is us."
Walt looked at the cabin door. "Yep it is." Walt opened the door and they found a small, but nice cabin. It had a bench seat and a fold out table. The window was open but had some curtains that would give them some privacy.
"Trading in the plane ticket for a train cabin was a great idea." Ruri was looking around the cabin's small bathroom.
"Yeah, I don't like to fly much anyway. Besides the flight was full and a train is a bit more private."
Walt wrapped his arms around Ruri and pulled her close. Her lips were sweet and warm and Walt gently lifted her up to carry her to the bunk. Walt grimaced as his back gave a twinge of complaint. Ruri immediately picked up on it.
"Walt. Please reconsider. You're still very weak from the other day. You need to recharge your reserves...." Walt's face took on a disapproving look.
"Ruri, I told you last night that I don't want anything to do with that. I am not going to eat somebody's Soul!"
Ruri's voice took on a patient but frustrated tone. "Walt, you are the most handsome and loving Master a Genie could ask for, but you can be so hard headed sometimes." Ruri shook her head at him. "I never should have mentioned how Sorcerer's regain their strength. It isn't the same as what you can do, Master."
Ruri wrung her hands in frustration as she tried to think of how to word her explanation."Every human gives off energy, and interaction between humans, especially intense emotion, creates vast amounts of energy. It is a natural byproduct of life. Most people don't even realize that this energy is around them."
Ruri started to pace back and forth and Walt had the sudden thought that she would look insanely sexy in a school girl outfit.
"Sorcerers have learned to store and use this energy to affect the world. When their energy stores are low they have to replace it. Sorcerers can't absorb this energy naturally and must take it directly from someone, usually resulting in that person's death. You on the other hand can absorb this energy because of your status as a champion... "
"Alright you've made your point. Sit down before you wear a path in the floor." Ruri frowned at him but did indeed stop her pacing.
"So how do I... absorb energy?"
Ruri had a wicked little smile on her adorable face and Walt had a feeling he already knew the answer to the question.
"It's easy Master. You have sex."
Walt smacked the palm of his hand against his forehead in an "I could have had a V8" gesture. "I should have guessed. Wait, if it's that simple why haven't I recharged? I've been having plenty of sex with you, haven't I?"
Ruri shook her head. "I'm a Genie. Our energies are incompatible. The only intimacy that you have experienced since draining yourself was with Sarah."
Walt thought about this for a moment. "So you're saying that if I keep using these powers I am going to have to sleep with other women to keep from depleting myself?"
Ruri nodded "Other women, other guys, it doesn't matter. It's the intimate contact that gives you access to the energy."
Walt just shook his head "Well, other women I can deal with, but other guys... I don't swing that way."
"Champions have always absorbed energy by way of their nature. There was one back in ancient Greece that could only absorb energy while debating philosophy."
"So my nature is to have sex?" Ruri laughed again. "In a roundabout way, yes, because of the bond we share. Otherwise your nature is kindness. In fact you can absorb energy that way too, but it's not as effective because of the bond."
"So I regain energy by fucking and random acts of kindness?"
He sat down as Ruri came over and put an arm around her waist. He pulled her close and rested his forehead against her flat stomach. "I need to think about this."
