Rad-Xciting

Predictably Sarah’s blush only seems to grow as she meets your gaze, the brilliantly blond woman flushing a bright scarlet as the memories from the previous night flash past her mind’s eye. Despite this a quick cough and a slight shake of her head later Sarah comes to some sort of composure, her face still tinged slightly pink but her voice and attitude back to normal for all intents and purposes, “As a member of the Brotherhood of Steel I’ve trained all my life to carry large amounts of weight, if my power armor isn’t enough of a clue for your Johnny.”

Sarah’s playful smile sends a small smirk across your own lips, her amusing attempt at flirtatious conversation drawing you in as you readily respond, “Very funny Sarah-chan but you know very well what I mean. What you and the girls are inspecting can’t all possibly come with us.”

Sarah chuckles as she nods her head in agreement, “Very true Johnny, but this is all just maintenance for Megaton before we leave. What we really will be carrying is just enough food and supplies to make it to and back from the Dunwich Building…and of course some Rad-X and Rad Resistance armor.”

“Rad-X?” You speak with a curious tone, “what exactly is Rad-X and this Rad Resistance armor.”

Smiling up at you Sarah pats her thick steel chest plate, “It may not look like it but there is a large portion of lead interwoven into the inner lining of my suit, just like Rose’s, 101, and Moira’s. This protects us from Rad, or Radiation as I’m guessing you know it as.”

Nodding your head in understanding you turn to glance at Rose, Moira, and 101 as they pat down their lightly armored clothing, “interesting…so I’m guessing the Dunwich Building is pretty irradiated?”

Sarah nods quickly as she slings her large oddly designed rifle across her back, “yep, one of the more irradiated places on the wasteland, and it’s absolutely crawling with ghouls.”

“Ah, Moira had a piece on those in her survival guide,” you interrupt, one hand adjusting your hat to the angle of the rising morning sun while the other lays itself on the handles of Katen Kyokotsu, “irradiated humans who turned into horribly mutated creatures, some retain their intelligence and humanity but most don’t and just go insane, attacking anything and everything except for other ghouls.”

Sarah nods with a smile, “Exactly, which is why we’ll need to get you, Free, and…uh, Kaye-oh-kootsoo some armor and Rad-X.”

With a smirk you shake your head, your sensitive ears picking up the approach of very familiar and nearly silent footsteps from behind you, “Perhaps Free-chan will need it, I’m not sure how a werewolf can stand radiation, but Kyokotsu-chan and myself don’t require it.”

Sarah blinks a few times in confusion before you chuckle and speak up, “These clothes that I wear are as impervious to radiation as your suit of armor. It might not look it but they are not really things that a normal human being can get you see. And as for Kyokotsu-chan, well…”

“I’m not…what you call…made of flesh…and blood,” without so much as a sound save for her voice Kyokotsu pops up from behind Sarah, the battle hardened and strong willed Sentinel jumping and nearly squealing from fright at the sudden ninja appearance.

“G-Great god you scared me!” Sarah huffs and puffs as she turns to face the tiny ninja, her hand pressed over the chest of her power armor as she speaks, “Christ…well what do you mean, not made of flesh and blood?”

Kyokotsu’s one visible eye turns up into a small U similar to how you’ve seen Kakashi’s eye appear when she smiles and without another word Kyokotsu’s arm flicks out to her side. With a brilliant flash of light Kyokotsu’s arm is enshrouded in burning white which just as quickly fades to nothing, her limb revealing itself to be replaced with the full length of her sharpened and hardened scimitar release form, “I am…very unique…in body type…Sarah-san.”

While Sarah stares with unabashed amazement you only whistle, one hand cupping your chin as you speak, “Wow, I’ve never seen that one from you Kyokotsu-hime.”

Kyokotsu’s arm reverts to normal as a soft blush spreads across her cheeks, both arms clasping behind her back as she shyly mutters, “I-I learned…from Souls-san…and Tsubaki-san…they said…it would help…my ninja…techniques.”

With a soft chuckle you lean down to the short ninja’s height, your lips gently pecking her nose as you speak, “Well I won’t argue…that was very cool Kyokotsu-hime and I’m proud of you.”

Kyokotsu’s face flushes even brighter than before, her one visible eye doing it’s best not to stare into your own as she stutters and fumbles with her words, “Th-Th-Thank you…John-koi…”

“Alright!” Sarah’s voice cuts through the moment like a burning knife through soft butter, her irritated and rather jealous tone cutting the air as all eyes turn toward her, “Let’s get Free set up with some armor and get going, we need to take care of this as soon as possible!”

With a playful smirk you nod your head, your body bowing low before Sarah as you say with your best seductive voice, “As you wish, lovely Sarah-chan~”
