Inu and Maylene on the Road

After his rapid series of forced encounter in the Arena, Inu had fallen into the service of Maylene, a mature, sexy, voluptuous midara who had a penchant for cutting deals that always suited her. The walked down the road on a casual morning, already about halfway to Rollatia, the town where Maylene owned her businesses. She had held back on teasing her new employee for the most part so far.

"So, uh, boss?" Inu asked. He honestly still felt a bit awkward referring to Maylene as such. "I don't think you ever told exactly what it is you do?"

"I own a lot of businesses in the big city. Or at least partly own them. I give them my savvy sense for business and guidance, and the managers pay me a cut of what the place makes. Just one or two of them isn't that much money, but a few dozen makes me pretty loaded at times." Maylene answered, being mostly honest. Although, she was omitting a few details.

"Yeah, I can see how that could add up." Inu replied with a nod as he thought about it. "What's the big city like anyway? I've mostly just been to small towns."

"There's always lots of people walking the streets, and all kinds of ways to entertain yourself or spend some money. So many sight to see and things to do, you've been missing out." Maylene told him with a smirk and a wink.

"Not like I'm used to having a lot of money to spend." the masked man said with a shrug. "But I guess it still sounds fun."

"It's tons of fun, you'll love it." Maylene assured him as they kept walking. A bit further down the road, they saw a dainty, beautiful woman in a kimono slowly walking in the same direction as them. At this pace, they'd catch up to her soon. And... the air began to smell of delightful flowers.

Inu sniffed at the air. "Is there a flower field around here?" Inu asked as he tried to determine where this scent was coming from.

"Not that I know, but I don't know this area well." Maylene said to him. As they got closer to the woman in front of them, the scent only grew stronger. As unlikely as it was, she appeared to be the source of the fragrance. And yet, she was just casually walking along at a snail's pace.

As the scent grew stronger, Inu began to feel dizzy and lightheaded.

Knowing of his weakness for scents, Maylene held onto Inu and pinched his nose shut as they passed by the floral-scented lady. She gave them a polite smile and wave as they went by. The scent began to dissipate as the put ground between themselves and her.

"Thanks" Inu told Maylene with a blush. "Any idea who that was?"

"She looked like an Aromadara. A midara who is a master of scents both fair and foul." Maylene said as they were now out of ear, nose, and eyeshot of the pretty woman. "So, if you ever see a lady like that, keep that mask on."

"Noted." Inu told her with a nod.

The pair traveled until the couldn't see or smell the Aromadara any further. Then, three young ladies came down the road towards them. Each of them had plump, kissable lips and an air of assertive sensuality. "Hey there, sweeties, out on a date?" One of them asked, smacking her purple lips.

"Want to include us in the fun? Won't even charge you~" A girl with hot-pink lips offered.

"I'd kiss you all day for free~" a girl with pale-pink lips told Inu with a seductive grin.

"We're not on a date." Inu said as he tried not to stare at those pale pink lips.

"You're right, you're on your way back to Rollatia with Maylene, here. Had fun in that arena, didn't you?" The purple-lipped Gangyaru asked, stepping forward with an authority that made her out to be the leader of the trio. "But let's cut to the chase. That bit of intel you got, Miss Queenpin, we're going to have to ask you to cough it up."

"Oh, that is NOT happening. You three amateurs have one chance to bail." Maylene replied with a glare both confident and threatening, although it did little to persuade the three midara.

"Who even are you?" Inu asked as he covertly slipped a needle out of his sleeve.

Just like that, all three of the girls got up in Inu's face and started puckering and smacking their lips at him. "We're the girls who will paint you in lipstick kisses if you behave like a good boy and let us get what we need from your lady friend here." The leader answered as all of them were inches away from planting a smooch on him.

Inu felt a bit of panic with the three of them suddenly in his face and taunting him like this. He tried not to think of how great their kisses would feel as he pushed one of them away.

The leader of the punks suddenly shoved Inu before he could respond, leaving him floored and on his back. She looked down at him menacingly while Maylene stepped in and punched the pale-pink lipped girl in the jaw.

Inu gulped as he stared up at the leader of these girls and tried to get up before she could do anything to him.

The purple-lipped midara took a seat in Inu's lap and stopped him from getting up. She grabbed his face and forced him to pucker up before beginning a highly passionate and intimate makeout session. Her lips ruled his world as the hot-pink Gangyaru cheered her on. By the time she ended it with a wet smack, a perfect purple print was left on Inu's face and his head was spinning.

Maylene was taking care of the pale-pink girl, dominating her with a Kiss of her own.

Inu groaned after the kiss and weakly tried to push the aggressive smoocher off of him.

Maylene hipchecked her target and left her Off-balance, taking control of her end of the fight. The exact opposite was true for Inu. The leader pulled up her shirt so her bare breasts pressed against his chest while she smooched him. At the same time as her lips were servicing him, she used a tube of lipstick to write on his cheek. She wrote 'stay down and pucker up', and even though Inu couldn't see the message, he could feel the urge to obey it. Especially as the hot-pink Gangyaru joined her leader and kissed Inu on his cheeks.
