Gossamer's Of Light

A low whistle could be heard in the silence and Gray turned his head to see the rest of the girls staring at the scene. Almost all of them were blushing. Except for Yang, the one who whistled.

“Damn...” She muttered, loud enough that everyone heard. The silence was broken now, and the others took that as their que to breathe again.

“Whoooo!” Nora suddenly yelled; her fists thrust above her head. “That’s what I’ve been waiting for!”

Ren besides her was sighing, giving up on Nora’s antics.

Gray’s team had already seen him and Yang kiss, and do much more, but that didn’t mean that the sight wasn’t affecting them. Ruby’s pale face was very red as she sat on Pyrrha’s bed. The passionate display likely had her thinking a few envious thoughts. Weiss and Blake were just as mesmerized, even if Blake still tried to be her impassive self. Her cheeks had a light dusting of red. Weiss was holding a pillow to her chest while also trying to keep her face under control, her pale face almost as red as Ruby’s.

Yang was grinning at the sight. She had been teasing them almost as much as Nora and was reaping what they had sowed. It was also good to know that there was no hint of jealousy in her, or anyone's faces.

Pyrrha was blushing in embarrassment next to Yang while also smiling happily for her friend.

Gray looked back to Jeanne who was regaining control of her legs. Her bashful expression caught Gray’s heartstrings.

“Are you okay?” Gray asked her, looking at her with concern.

She gulped, then had to clear her throat before answering. “...I, yeah, hm-hm...”

She nodded; her embarrassment was clear to see. Her answer was equal parts hesitant and short. She stopped herself from saying anything more by just nodding along to her humming affirmation.

Gray nodded to himself and let go of her arms before turning to Nora.

“Okay, you’ve had your fun, Nora. Can we now get to the reason we’re here?”

The ginger girl just giggled to herself and threw a thumbs up his way.

“Okay, Yang. You wanna take this away?” Gray asked the blonde sitting down on Pyrrha’s bed.

Yang stood up and clapped her hands. “Alright ladies! Let’s all take a seat in the middle and get comfortable.”

All the girls complied and found spaces to sit on the padded floor.

---

“Welcome class, I’m Yang Xiao Long, and I’ll be your meditation instructor for tonight.” The blonde young woman said in a comically soft and professional tone. It was so unlike the usual Yang that it took Gray a moment to get the joke. “These two next to me are my assistants, Pyrrha Nikos and Lian Ren. Say hello to the class you two.”

“Hello!” Pyrrha greeted them cheerfully with a wave.

“Hello.” Ren greeted them calmly with a nod.

“We three are here to help you on your journey of self-discovery and exploration. Some of you may find it more challenging than others, but don’t worry. We are here to guide you. By the end of this session hopefully you all will have found tranquility and inner peace.” Those last few words were said in such a way that it reminded Gray of a new age hippie he once met. That person's head was so far up in the clouds that their voice seemed to linger and elongate the last few syllables unnecessarily.

Ruby must have understood too because he heard her snort.

“How are you so good at that?” Blake asked while sitting cross-legged. Her knees were poking out from the bottom of her robe, but the robe had been carefully placed so as to not reveal anything more.

Yang smiled at the girl for the compliment. A very hippie-with-their-head-lost-in-the-clouds sort of smile.

Blake shuddered. “That smile was a little creepy...”

While all the girls were sitting on the duvet covers, cushions and pillows, Gray was sitting on Jeanne’s bed watching the proceedings. He decided to turn his Semblance on for the rest of the session, in case his presence was a distraction. Jeanne might have found it difficult to concentrate after their kiss, but hopefully now she’ll be able to focus with his existence erased from her perception.

He also thought that his ability might help any of the girls if they were having trouble with the meditation. His eyes fell on Nora, the one he was most concerned about. That hyperactive ginger was bouncing her knees in excitement. That kind of energy would make it difficult to achieve the necessary calm needed for this task.

Despite his earlier commands for her to want this meditation, Gray was ready to give her more nudges to help her along.

Of course, he also wanted to just stare at hot girls all sitting together on the floor in their PJ’s. He wouldn’t mess with them if that ruined their progress, but he could certainly enjoy the moment. And there might be a possibility that with his Semblance active it wouldn’t matter if he did a little touching.

Now that Gray thought about it, he could do a little testing of how distracting his actions could be for them. It might make the session last longer, but it might be worth finding out.

“Is everyone sitting in a comfortable position?” Yang asked the group.

Everyone was sitting in a cross-legged pose, including Weiss. Her knees and legs were just as exposed as Blake’s. Then again, the girls wearing shorts were just as exposed. The only thing with them was that their crotch wasn’t in danger of flashing anyone. Though, that wouldn’t have been a bother since Gray commanded these girls to not mind being in such a state with Gray to witness. And besides, shorts were hot too. They were formfitting, even in the crotch area.

All the girls nodded to Yang’s question.

“Alright.” Yang turned to Ren to her left. “Ren dear, would you like to help these girls relax with some soft calming directions?”

Ren looked sideways at the blonde with a wry grin. “I suppose I can do that.”

She turned to the group in front of her and addressed them.

“I would like all of you to close your eyes. Hold your arms loose in your lap with your backs straight. Keep your heads level and breathe slow but full breathes, in through the nose and out through the mouth.”

Gray watched all the girls try to follow along with those instructions. Their chests heaved in and out. A pleasant sight for the sole boy in the room. From there, a series of instructions came from Ren that involved having the girls imagine being various things, like a seed sprouting leaves and bathing in the sun or imagining floating in a river and letting it take them away. Also, things like sitting at the top of a mountain and letting the wind slide past them, leaving them unmoved. All that went on for the next ten to fifteen minutes.

On the one hand, all that felt calming to listen to for Gray even though he wasn’t taking part in the meditation, but on the other hand he never had to go through all of this for his own Aura control. Sure, he has meditated before, but he never had to imagine being a bird flying through a valley. His experience was more along the lines of letting his mind wander until his thoughts became still, leaving behind a vague sense of floating in nothingness. From there, he was able to look further inside himself and feel the Aura flowing through his being.

Perhaps some people needed these sorts of mental exercises though. Gray had a feeling that someone like Nora, or even Ruby for that matter, would have trouble looking inward without some kind of mental self-awareness.

Gray’s eyes were caught once again by Nora and her bouncing knee. This time it seemed like she was less excited and more impatient with the relaxing instructions. Her normal energy levels were likely too much for this sort of exercise.

Before it could become an issue, Gray got up and carefully made his way to her, making sure to avoid touching the other girls. She was near the middle and behind Jeanne and Weiss. There was enough space behind the ginger for Gray to kneel down and lean in to her ear.

With Semblance active, Gray spoke softly with his lips pressed against her ear, the contact sending a thrill down to his groin. “Nora, you find it easy to relax when meditating. All your excitable energy dissipates, and you feel like you are floating. You easily follow along with Ren’s soft words.”

Gray then waited; his face still close to both observe her reaction and to breathe in her scent. Because why not.

Notably, Nora’s leg stopped moving and her face cleared up of any emotion. All that was left was serenity. Her breathing was even, and her posture was straight. She was truly following along now.

Since Gray was there, he decided he would do a little distraction test on Nora. He looked over her shoulder and down the opening of her shirt. There he saw the curves of her cleavage. She didn’t have the lowest cut top, so he couldn’t see far, but her chest was quite big and enticing. They looked like wonderful handfuls.

Who better to test this on than the girl that was the most excitable in the room, right after he commanded her to be relaxed. That was his line of thinking when he reached around her body to fill his hands with her boobs.

He grabbed them and sighed in contentment at the softness and the warmth. He could tell that she wasn’t wearing a bra. Either that was just what she did every night or his command from earlier was working as intended. He squeezed gently and watched for her reaction.

Nora’s face remained still and relaxed. Her breathing hadn’t increased at all.

Gray continued to knead the wonderful flesh in his hands and even leaned back in to smell her hair. He found it difficult to compare her scent to anything, but he did get the impression of ‘the-girl-next-door' if that made any sense. Imagery of her being a neighbor back home passed through Gray’s mind. Thoughts of playing as kids by a creek came to mind. She seemed like the type of girl you would play with growing up, and then start thinking of in a sexual way when she grew those breasts later on.

There were a few girls like that back home, but Gray didn’t stay that close to them growing up.

Nora had that vibe, though. She seemed like the type that would suggest sleeping over to her best male friend, not realizing that she was growing her curves out and that would affect her friend too much. Fortunately for Gray, he had already gotten past his early awkward puberty phase and was perfectly willing to get close to a girl like this. And with his Semblance, he never had to feel awkward about getting a boner around a girl ever again.

Which is why he pressed his crotch against Nora’s back as he fondled her chest. Gray amped up his groping by a little and watched as Nora didn’t react in the slightest. He even went so far as to lick her ear.

Nothing.

Gray ran his tongue around the ridges of her ear and sucked on her lobe.

Still nothing.

He licked up her jaw and cheek and leaned down to nibble on the skin of her neck. All the while grinding his dick on her back. He stopped after a moment and looked up at her face.

There was a light dusting of red about her cheeks, but otherwise she seemed calm. Perhaps physically she was becoming aroused at Gray’s actions, but mentally she was still in meditation mode.

Gray slowed his hands down. He felt the urge to keep going and to hold her down and have sex but kept himself at bay. There was still a chance that going that far could ruin any progress she made. So, he slowed down and kept his actions to the small breast massage he was doing now.

They were pretty good tits.

Gray looked up and observed the rest of the girls. They were all breathing slowly, sitting there like statues. He also noticed that Pyrrha was the one talking now.

“–floating in space. There's nothing around you. Just an empty void. Instead of looking around, I want you to look inward. Look inward... focus on yourself. You feel a warmth somewhere in your chest. I want you to find it.”

This was starting to sound more like what Gray had to do for his own Aura control. What should come next is a description of rivers connecting all around the body. Similar to veins and blood vessels connecting to the heart.

“Find the center of that warmth and look closely. There are rivers of light branching off from that warmth. River's flow from it like a spring carrying that warmth with it, to places all over your body.”

There it was. That was part of the same exercises that Gray had to do to develop his skills. From here on, he would be curious to see how women used Aura to protect their uterus or the egg or... however they did it.

So, he sat back, still with his hands gently fondling Nora’s boobs and listened to Pyrrha.

“Follow these rivers down. Follow them down from your chest to your stomach.” What followed was more descriptions and instructions to follow the winding pathways of their Aura. It took a while and Gray was wondering if all of the girls were understanding the assignment. Not everyone was able to follow along when it came to meditation. Case in point being Nora. Ruby was another concern since she was never given the chance to learn after skipping a year.

So, it was possible that a couple of girls were having trouble grasping this concept. And since Gray had already helped Nora relax and get closer to the goal, he thought why not help everyone with his Semblance. He might be able to hurry this whole thing along.

“All the girls in teams RWBY and JNPR can meditate and follow their Aura throughout their body with ease. They will be able to find their uterus with their Aura with ease. They will understand how to manipulate their Aura with ease.” Gray whispered to himself, as Pyrrha was still in the middle of describing a winding path. Hopefully that would have the desired effect.

“Follow these paths lower until you find the place where the rivers split again. This is where the legs begin. It’s in this area that we need to focus.” Pyrrha went quiet then. She must be giving the girls time to become acquainted with that area.

Gray then saw Pyrrha look to Yang with a questioning look.

“Thank you, Pyrrha,” Yang took over. “Why don’t you and Ren start your meditation now so you can catch up to the others?”

The two assistants nodded and straightened their postures before closing their eyes. Some moments passed by in a peaceful quiet. Yang’s eyes looked about the room, watching each girl. Gray had no idea what she was looking for. Maybe she could tell if each girl was doing well? Occasionally she would look back at the two girls beside her before watching the others again. Some moments passed by again before Yang glanced at Pyrrha and Ren one more time before nodding to herself.

“Alright girls,” She started up again. “I want you to look closer at the intricate rivers of Aura around your navel, somewhere behind your belly button.”

She paused and waited another moment.

“You should be able to find a place with a small cavity and an opening that leads down.” Yang took a moment to describe the uterus and how it should look for the girls with their Aura. She also described how the rivers of Aura would look like in and around that organ. Gray found the description difficult to picture, which was understandable since he was not meditating currently and didn’t even have a uterus.

Yang continued for a bit longer before going on to the next part.

“Now, I want you all to look inside the uterus. It can be a little confusing, but I want you to follow along. You should be able to notice that the density of Aura in the uterus is quite thick, however if you compare that to the walls of the uterus, you’ll see that there are areas that are not so thick. Think of it like a cloud of Aura compared to the rivers on either side.”

All this did sound somewhat similar to other organs that Gray had to focus on with his experience meditating, but the uterus was completely unmarked territory for him.

“It may be difficult, but within this cloud of Aura is something you need to find. Something very small. As small as the point of a pin. However, it should shine quite brightly, for something so small.”

Was that the egg cell Yang was describing?

“I’ll give you all a moment to look for it. Once you do, I want you to look at it from many angles and observe it before I give you any more instructions.”

She went quiet and even closed her own eyes.

Gray thought that Yang might be doing the thing she said she would do, back when he was making out with her in the RWBY dorm. She might be ‘replenishing’ her own protection.

This was probably a crucial moment for all the girls, so Gray felt compelled to stop touching Nora. He backed off from her, making sure to avoid bumping into Jeanne and snuck his way out from the collection of girls on the padded floor.

Instead, he walked his way around to the three girls at the front. Yang, Pyrrha and Ren were sitting in a line facing the other girls. Gray knelt down behind Yang and leaned into her messy head of hair and breathed in her scent. There was a hint of something, something that made him think of a sunny forest glade. It was a soothing scent that made him want to lie down and soak up the sun while surrounded by nature.

Maybe in the future he would be able to take Yang somewhere like that. To relax or to mess around. Probably both.

From his position, Gray observed the girls over Yang’s shoulder. He looked from face to face, wondering what each of them was thinking, what each of them was seeing. Gray had heard of a way to use Aura to look into someone else's body for medical purposes, or to observe someone's Aura for similar reasons, but he had never learned to do that. And yet, that seemed like it would be the only way to tell if the girls succeeded in setting up a protection for their egg cell.

It would be pretty bad if any of them failed, and Gray got someone pregnant. So, he would like to get this right from the start.

A moment later, Yang moved her head and Gray noticed that she had opened her eyes again, looking at the girls in front of her.

“Now... is there anyone who hasn’t found that little pinprick of light? Please raise a hand.” Yang called out softly.

A moment passed and no one raised a hand. Gray wondered if they even heard her, considering they didn’t respond in any way.

“Okay, now I’m going to ask you to do something a little tricky. I want you to go back to the nearest flowing river of Aura, I want you to imagine dipping your hand into the river and collect some of that light.” She slowly instructed them. “The light doesn’t act like water; it doesn’t flow out of your grasp. Instead, it clings to you like threads, like fine fabric.”

Interacting with your Aura can give off the impression of weaving gossamer threads of light. So, Gray was following along for now.

“I want you to carry that handful of thread over to the small light that you had found before. Carry it over, and I want you to gently cover that light with the threads. Wrap it around that small ball of light. Carefully fold the threads around and around, until you have no more thread to wrap.” That instruction piqued Gray’s interest. “Now, gently feel around the ball, hold it in your imaginary hands, and try to feel for any holes, any openings.”

She paused and allowed them a moment to do as she said.

The moment passed by, and Gray was really curious to see what was happening inside the girls’ uterus's. That was an odd sentence... Still, this whole thing seemed like an interesting exercise.

“If you are uncertain, that’s fine. We’ll just gather more threads and do this a second time.” Yang said in her dreamy hippie voice. “Find the river of Aura again, gather that light and bring it back.”

She help them through for a second time before moving on to the next part.

“Now, with that done, with all the holes covered, I want you to hold that ball in your hands, gently... gently, but firmly. And now, with your thoughts and your intentions, I want you to fill that ball of Aura that you wrapped around the egg, with the idea of repelling anything from the outside.” Yang instructed them.

Interesting. Gray wondered how they were going to make their Aura repel his sperm cells. Aura was a powerful thing, but it was invisible most of the time. And things could pass through it. The only reason Aura can help to repel attacks from swords or punches was because of intent. Or instinct.

In the case of a fight, a person would have an inherent desire to protect themselves from harm. They would want to withstand a punch or a stab and their Aura would react to that need of survival. Even people who had awakened their Aura recently would have used it in this way without much thought.

But with intent, one can use their Aura for a more focused purpose. Like Gray with his skill of refracting light around his body to hide in the shadows or his skill to increase the friction in his hands to climb a wall with ease.

Without that intent, and without instinct as a driving ****, Aura would just be an invisible ghostly extension of the human soul. Unable to affect things, unable to give humans an advantage over the creatures of Grimm.

So, the process of using Aura as a contraceptive method made sense to Gray now. Women made an Aura construct surrounding their egg cell with the intent to stop sperm cells from passing through. That definitely was good to know, to say the least.

“Fill that ball with the idea that no foreign fluids will pass through it. No foreign cells will pass through it. The light inside is safe. The light inside will not be invaded.” Yang continued to encourage them with more words of defense and protection.

The intent-based exercise seemed largely done by now. All that they had to do from his point of view was strengthen those thoughts until they or Yang was satisfied. Gray got up from the floor and took a seat on Jeanne’s bed again.

Hopefully this meditation class was coming to an end and Gray could get on with the next few parts of his harem plan. He sat and waited, pondering his next move.

In time Yang wound down her words and silence filled the room again. Then came what Gray was waiting for.

“Alright, girls. You can open your eyes now.”
