The Talk (Flashback)

(This thread takes place before the Twins's Induction Ceremony)

Shimiko and the Twins would be sitting in a nice carriage. It wasn't the most luxurious method of transportation in the world but it was comfy and cozy. The carriage had enough space for them to lie down and stretch their legs. Shimiko would use a large quilted blanket to cuddle her dearest twins. The carriage was slowly making its way up the mountains which meant the air was a tad bit colder than normal. The carriage was pulled by several powerful steeds and a Chinoike house servant guided the carriage upwards. They had nothing to fear when it came to bandits and brigands. Anyone dumb enough to attack Shimiko Chinoike on her vacation deserved what they had coming to them.

Shimiko knew that the Mountain Chinoike were sticklers for tradition. She had her own traditional Chinoike garb that she could wear for the ceremony, but the twins would need something. She was certain her grandmother was whipping something up for them but the elders would frown on her if she didn't make something of her own for them to wear. Shimiko was sponsoring them and was essentially their direct line into one of the most ancient and powerful clans within Lightning Country. She would need to demonstrate that she had put thought and care into their induction. To that end, Shimiko had busted out some knitting materials. She worked on a multi-colored scarf that would be embroidered with Clan symbol, secretive Jashinist scripts, and important milestones in their lives.

Shimiko had learned to knit from her mother and Gran-Gran. It wasn't a skill she had exercised often. In fact, she was absolutely atrocious at it. But she had carved out time to practice after she got back from Kiri and now that she was working on the real deal, she was certain that Jashin would guide her hands so that it would at the very least, be passable. She had been knitting in silence for a while before taking a break and retrieving a small backpack with some snacks in it. The girl had gotten out some bat jerky in plastic wrapping. The snack was an old-time Chinoike favorite and since Yui and Yua were going to be in the clan, they'd need to be familiar with such foods. Shimiko undid the wrapping and offered them the bat jerky to snack on.

"Yui and Yua, I think its time we had a talk...."

She had put off this conversation for months if not a full year. But given their sudden interest in Seid and the need to have some kind of emotional anchor given the incoming instability, it was time that Shimiko be upfront with them about their desires and wants.

They all sat in the wagon as the twins would sit next to Shimiko smiling and reading the Jashin script. It was clear they had become devout followers of Jashin and had dedicated their lives to his teachings, they had so much they wanted to learn from the reading and from Shimiko as well. They heard Shimiko suddenly say something about having the talk with them, as the pair looked at her and each other wondering what talk she meant. Maybe some sort of secret they had to know about her clan they were unsure but they would smile at Shimiko.

"We are ready whenever you are if it is something we need to know we understand and will listen intently to anything you have to say."

They both quietly waited still seeming to be excited having no ideas what she wanted to talk to them about were the birds and the bees. They were medical shinobi so they had some understanding of course but not really what it meant or what sex really was. It was for reproduction they knew this but they didn't know it was used for more than just this like pleasure and many other things.

Shimiko would place the bat jerky in their hands so if they wanted to eat some they could. As she chewed on her piece, she'd lovingly stroke their hair and speak as their carriage continued up the mountain.

"Darlings.....I want to talk to you about er, sex" it wasn't easy having this conversation. She imagined that it would be simple and straightforward. She had never had the talk from her own parents because around the age in which she'd normally have these discussions she had begun to avoiding her parents. She resolved that with her own children, she'd have such a great relationship that such conversations would be effortless and simple. It wasn't so.

"You see...um....where do I begin" she munched on the jerky again to buy herself some time. After some chewing and considering she swallowed and spoke up again. "Its like this. A young man and a young woman love each other very much. They want to express their love for each other in ways beyond just kissing and hugging. They want their minds, bodies, and souls to connect. That's why sex exists. I'm sure as medical shinobi you guys know about the mechanics. The penis goes into the vagina and all that stuff, but sex is more than that. Its....a connection between two people who love each other. Its seduction....its fantasy....its all of those things...." she realized she was rambling and did her best to re-center the conversation. "Maybe this would be more helpful if we worked with some tangibles. I heard you guys are really into Seid Otsutsuki"

Suddenly Shimiko began to talk about Sex as both of them appeared interested in what she had to say, of course, they understood how it worked and what it was meant for having babies. They did not quite understand the connection of souls but they both assumed it was like how they felt merged together with one mind one thought yet held in a blanket of warmth and comfort and love they felt toward each other. She then mentioned them liking Sied as the pair would nod their head, of course, Yua was one that liked females but it would be willing to merge with his sister in order to experience what sex was like.

"We do think the emotional feeling of sex is likely how we feel being one body, it's like a blanket wrapped around us with love, when we are inside the body of each other it's tranquil and peaceful and feels very calming. We do really like Sied but we are unsure how to approach him, he is different than normal men almost like someone from another planet, but we admire his strength and courage and he has always been kind to us."

They wondered just how they could meet Seid he was their ideal man, someone strong like themselves and also someone that knew how to show kindness and caring despite his rough exterior.

The twins confirmed their deep attraction to Seid. Shimiko nodded as she listened to what they had to say. Apparently he was from another world, but this wasn't entirely surprising given his last name. She'd need to look more into that though. As she snuggled her darlings, she wondered how best to get them together. Shimiko had planned a dinner but she wasn't sure if that was too formal. The young man appeared to be very dutiful, focused, and matter of factly. Sakata at least had a bit of leisurely charm to him and so she figured that Seid would be a tough nut to crack. A dinner was fine but it was important that Yui and Yua temper their expectations.

"I'm pleased to hear that. You should always pick someone who loves and respects you...trust me, heartbreak sucks". The Twins would know exactly to what Shimiko was referring to at this juncture. "I'll set up a dinner so you have a chance to get to know Seid. With these kinds of things, you want to take your time. Don't jump into bed with him at the earliest oppurtunity. Get to know him first. Analyze him. Make sure that he's showing his true self. Boys will lie to your face when things are hot and heavy, but when things get tough they'll split. I don't want that to happen to you guys."

It occurred to Shimiko that the twins both expressed interest in Seid. Yua was a boy but he did not appear to disagree with his sister's assessment of the young man. She had always assumed he was gay given his effeminate manner of dress but she had never directly asked him nor did she have the guts to. She had no problem with alternate sexual orientations but she found prying to be a bit embarrassing and she could only handle one embarrassing conversation at a time.

The twins nodded and agreed with Shimiko having him over for dinner would be great, Yui certainly liked him and Yua would do nothing to get in the way of his sister's happiness. She told them to take their time but the twins had felt a frustration inside of them, they wanted to experience sex and it was very hard to withhold those urges.

"We understand Shimiko but it is very hard for us to not want sex... we have waited so long for it and even in the church there is often sex happening and the feeling we get when we see it feels like it will boil over. When we see Seid we want everything from him and if he did break our hearts we will sacrifice him to Lord Jashin."

The way they thought was not normal it also was a scary insight in how they would deal with love, anyone that scorned them likely would end up dead. They had killed so much they felt nothing from killing anymore, the felt little sympathy for those they want to kill.

Shimiko nodded her understanding. Church orgies had long been a point of sexual frustration for her as well when she first joined the cult. Despite her rebellious nature, Shimiko didn't want to lose her virginity to someone out of sheer lust. It was a vestige of her conservative upbringing but it was one that remained with her all the same. She wanted to lose it to someone she genuinely cared about and was going to marry. She thought that person was Sakata and she thought wrong. She didn't want the Twins to suffer through the angst of sexual tension only for it to be relieved by some asshole that would just dump then when life got hard. However, she didn't want to control their sexuality either.

"I know it is...trust me I've been there. Church orgies can get really exciting...but you don't have to get involved or watch if you don't want to. Its really hard waiting for the right one, but its worth it. I won't force you to hold off though. If you really want to have sex with him and he's ready to go then you can do as you like. But based on my experience, I would strongly advise against it. Make him wait, see if he's really as noble as he holds himself out to be. And when you are sure about it, I promise your first time will be magical"

The twins threatened to sacrifice him if he broke their hearts and Shimiko laughed.

"And yeah, I'll make sure you guys end him if he turns out to be a piece of shit, pardon my french."

Shimiko hugged her twins and offered them some more bat jerky to snack on.

"Anyways. Good talk. If you have more questions about this kinda thing feel free to ask but for now we gotta talk about this ceremony. We're almost there and there's a lot you need to know. First thing to remember, when you see the Chinoike Elders be as nice as possible...."


Shimiko would then launch into a long and elaborate explanation of the induction ceremony.
