Shinobinekoden: A Ninja Catgirl’s Tale

   Because Lucy Alpha, or rather, the original Lucy, still had weak knees after the climax she had a few moments ago, Lucy Beta came up with the idea of confronting the level 32 giant bear alone, which had almost reached the tree they were perched on. This way, she could check if she had the same fighting efficiency as the original Lucy and if the experience points she would obtain would instantly transfer to her original.

   "I will head into battle, my love! If I survive and manage to return, I hope you'll keep your promise and make me the happiest catgirl in this world!" Lucy Beta told her duplicate in the most solemn tone while caressing her cheek and gazing at her with melancholy in her eyes as if she wanted to imprint the face of her beloved in her mind for eternity.

   After a brief kiss and one last longing look, Lucy Beta turned resignedly away from Lucy Alpha and, after she used her cat tail to stroke the face of the original Lucy one more time, she leaped from the tree, ready to fight the entire world if necessary to be able to come back.

   'She's so brave... No, wait a minute. I am her, and she is me. Damn, at this rate, I might fall in love for real with my own self...' thought the original Lucy after her duplicate disappeared from her sight.

   Reflecting on the things she and her duplicate had done, Lucy couldn't help but wonder if what they did could still be called self-pleasuring and if ever since arriving in this new world, she had fallen too much prey to her own desires, both of a sexual nature and those related to enforcing justice with her own hands.

   'Even though in my previous life I held the same ideas I have now, because I had no options available to put them into practice, I had grown accustomed to hiding everything within me and didn't even attempt to change the situation. Yes, what kind of justice could I have achieved on my own? Without money or influence, you couldn't do anything in the world I lived in. As for finding a girlfriend, I had begun to believe that was impossible as I had lost all confidence in myself after losing my leg and being unable to practice karate, the only thing I could excel at. But now, everything is different. In this world, I can be my true self. Here, I can fulfill any desire of mine...', Lucy thought as she watched her duplicate attacking the giant bear from all sides, whose fur seemed to have transformed into a mix of rocks and roots.

   'It's truly sexy the way she fights in just her panties, her breasts bouncing with every turn or jump. Well, maybe it's not so great to be so fascinated by my own body, but it's hard to resist because I'm still not used to my new embodiment and because ever since becoming a catgirl, I seem to succumb more easily to instincts. Plus, the fact that I'm truly gorgeous contributes a lot to this... Anyway, I guess I should think about what I'll do next after Lucy Beta finishes the battle. Should we continue where we left off or should we immediately head to the lionkins' village? Considering how eager Lucy Beta was to receive a reward from me, I think it would be a bad thing to disappoint her and not take her wishes into account. Besides, it wasn't hard for me to figure out why she was so active and dominant during our intimate moments, even though I haven't accessed that soul connection since she sent me that surprising pleasure sensation that caught me off guard and made me surrender control. Yes, it wasn't hard for me to realize that because her existence is limited, my duplicate started to feel the need to make every minute count. Yes, this would be my attitude if I were the one who would disappear.... Anyway, this issue will probably fade away with time, as I'll get used to the effects of the skill, and I won't be as clueless as when I created Lucy Beta, which gave her some uncertainties. And in the future, it would be preferable that before the clone disappears, I open the soul connection between me and her to the maximum level, to become a single person again in a harmonious way, so my duplicates won't have an abrupt disappearance that I know I wouldn't like...'

   "Boom!!"

   Seeing that her duplicate had almost managed to defeat the giant bear, Lucy didn't waste any time and immediately opened the Ninja Shop to buy a cleansing potion to freshen up, a two-meter-wide mattress, and a sheer black lingerie set, which was very alluring.

   'Well, I bought these things in a hurry without really analyzing the prices, but I want everything to be ready for when Lucy Beta returns...' thought Lucy, who immediately consumed the cleansing potion and dressed in the erotic lingerie, then she created a dark vines substitute to securely attach the mattress to the tree.

   [You have eliminated a level 32 Mountain Bear. You gained 8200 experience points and 8200 points for the Ninja Shop.]

   'It seems Lucy Beta took care of the bear. Huh, I don't think I've ever received this many points from a defeated being before. Seems like it was stronger than I expected...' contemplated Lucy, as she tried various sexy poses in the middle of the mattress, struggling to decide which one was the most seductive.

   Lucy Beta, who had just killed the bear that had given her more trouble than she anticipated due to its exceptional defensive capabilities, drank a cleansing potion to remove the blood stains from her skin, then she headed toward the sacks with heads responsible for luring the bear and placed them in her newly acquired storage space.

   'Well, that's done. I thought Lucy Alpha would have descended by now... Huh, what the heck is hanging from the tree?' she wondered, observing the underside of the white mattress entangled in hundreds of vines on the tree branches.

   Curious to see what her counterpart had concocted, Lucy Beta climbed the tree immediately. However, what she discovered there left her questioning whether she was trapped in an illusion or merely imagining things.

   "Mmm, why do you look so surprised? Aren't you the one who insisted on being rewarded for the work done?" asked Lucy Alpha, who lay on her side on the mattress in an extremely sensual pose that almost induced a nosebleed in Lucy Beta, like those fools in anime she used to laugh about.

   Although Lucy Beta had come up with this idea before starting the fight with the giant bear, during the battle her mind became less preoccupied with sexual thoughts and she reached the conclusion that it wouldn't be wise to waste any more time and to head straight for the lionkins' village, expecting her duplicate to think in the same way.

   "Huh, what are you waiting for? Don't tell me you don't find me attractive anymore...", continued Lucy Alpha, a trace of sadness appearing like a cloud in her blue eyes.

   "Damn it! How can I resist this..." exclaimed Lucy Beta, reverting to her initial plan of making love with her duplicate until she would be satisfied.

   She didn't waste any time and immediately climbed over Lucy Alpha and, after using one hand to hold both of Lucy Alpha's hands above her head, she started to kiss her passionately as if she wanted to devour her entire being.

  Lucy Alpha didn't back down either and captured her duplicate using both of her legs, then she began to fight back, using her lips and tongue to take control of the kiss, intending this time for her to be the one dictating the rhythm.

   Unfortunately, since both were equal in terms of attribute values and experience, Lucy Alpha couldn't establish dominance as she had planned, and, after about 15 minutes, the two Lucys were in the same position, continuing to kiss, disregarding the fact that their lips had become numb.

   'I think it's become ridiculous already. Why are we both trying to be on top? We're the same person...', thought the original Lucy, who began to open the soul connection between her and her duplicate, causing their minds to blend like the saliva in their mouths, gradually increasing the intensity until they felt as if they had become a single identity living in two bodies.

   'Ah, this sensation of merging minds is truly amazing. It's as if I'm having a spiritual orgasm...', thought the merged Lucy, a result of combining her original mind with that of her clone, reducing the intensity of the kiss between her two bodies, but with no intention of stopping, truly captivated by this double pleasure she was feeling.

   After about 5 minutes, Lucy decided to interrupt the soul connection between her and her clone, because, although the pleasure she was receiving from two bodies was greater, things seemed to be less interesting than before, when their minds were separate, and the interaction between them could be considered making love, not just self-pleasuring.

   'It's astonishing. After we fused our minds, I feel like I was the one who fought the giant bear 20 minutes ago, and I can remember all the thoughts my clone had as if they were my own. Although I might have exaggerated when I thought that my clone was probably scared, because she didn't really have time to think about these things, being first occupied with satisfying me, and then killing the bear, I could see that deep down she had a trace of uncertainty about what would happen in the future. Anyway, now my clone will be much more emotionally stable after seeing that she won't disappear suddenly and I intend to let her slowly merge with me, thus feeling the same things I feel...', thought the original Lucy, while her clone, after licking all the saliva around her mouth and giving her a quick peck on the lips, got off her, took off her panties, and lay down on the mattress with her legs spread, ready to receive the reward she had negotiated before the fight with the original Lucy.

   "Even though this position is truly sexy, I feel like it might be a bit... perverse. It's like you're a cat in heat...", said the original Lucy as she crawled on all fours towards her duplicate, or rather, Lucy Beta, with her tail swaying from side to side behind her.

   "Look who's talking...", responded Lucy Beta, gazing at her duplicate who seemed more like a cat with human characteristics than a human being with cat-like traits, her elastic yet determined movements contributing greatly to this illusion.

   "Well, I'm a cat too. A very hungry one...", replied the original Lucy, then slowly bit into the right inner leg of her duplicate.

   "Ah! Naughty kitty!" moaned Lucy Beta, taken by surprise by the attack.

   "Huh, since when did it start to talk... this kind of food? Well, let's see.... if it'll be able to say anything after I devour it completely....", said the original Lucy, as she approached her main target, leaving a trail of kisses behind.

   "How appetizing it looks... Slurp! And the taste is even better... Slurp! Bon appétit..." said the original Lucy after licking the wet entrance of her duplicate a few times, then proceeding to kiss it passionately, her tongue leaving no unexplored millimeter of the sweet cave in front of her, causing her duplicate to lose all rational thought due to the pleasure she was experiencing, leading her to moan uncontrollably.

   ........................................

   Having not been interrupted by any unwelcome guests, the two Lucys continued to make love to each other for almost two hours, and after both were completely satisfied, they slept in each other's arms for another four to five hours to make up for the lost sleep from the previous night.

   "We're done here. I think it's time to hit the road...", said Lucy Beta after cutting the vines that held the mattress tied to the tree and then placing it in the storage space.

   "Do you think so? We've already lost half a day! It would be good if we could reach our destination before it gets dark...", responded the original Lucy, who had just finished drinking a blueberry milkshake and tossed the biodegradable packaging into a bush.

   "Should we merge now or will we go to the lionkins' village together?" asked Lucy Beta, who pretended not to hear that they had to hurry, and she bought an identical milkshake from the Ninja Shop and started drinking it calmly.

   "Well, we'll go together. It will be easier for us to find the signs left by the mercenaries to locate the lionkins' village...", answered the original Lucy, leaning over to the milkshake in her duplicate's hand to take a sip.

   Although Lucy Beta was tempted not to let Lucy Alpha steal from her portion so easily, and was even tempted to set some conditions, like allowing her to drink only from inside her mouth, she ultimately took no action and allowed her to drink as she pleased, in order to avoid the risk of being swept up in sexual excitement again and having to return to the tree to start over.

   "Huh, I didn't expect it to be so simple...", said the original Lucy after finishing her duplicate's milkshake.

   "I think you suspect what kind of ideas I had. Too bad we don't have time...", said Lucy Beta after tossing her packaging into a bush as well.

   "Okay, let's hit the road now. Even though we'll have many kilometers to go, at least we'll keep each other company. Who wouldn't want to go on a journey with such a beautiful catgirl?" asked the original Lucy rhetorically.

   "Okay, goddess of modesty! Let's go..."
