You open your eyes again, and the sun is higher, brighter. It's no longer morning, it's late morning. Taking a deep breath allows you to settle to the bottom of the tide pool before sitting up, your hair slick and perfect, blinking the excess water from your eyes. You hear joyous shouts from the beach, men and women, most familiar, nothing threatening. You gently pluck a stray crab from your hair and let it scuttle off into the tide pool, and gently move a sea urchin from exploring your thigh.

You look up and see Chisato's people, Peta's clan, and your family, all enjoying themselves in a massive beach party, in one of the quietest, normally loneliest beaches of Japan. Hiding in a crowd of your own making is sometime better than hiding in a hole.

[] Go find Chi-chan and see if she's met Peta yet.
[] Go find your priestess, you owe her some attention you didn't get to finish.
[] Check on Akari, make sure she's still dressed.
[] See how Kiki-hime is coping with this group of rowdies.
[] Contemplate your expediences a little more. Not much more, you couldn't handle that, just a little more.

You roll to your feet and stand up, pulling only most of the water from your hair, leaving it damp as opposed to soaked, since you don't feel like spending the effort to keep it from tangling in the cool ocean breeze. Araihama is more secluded than most of the Tokyo accessible beaches, and the white sand and relatively calm ocean is nice, being different than most of the others as well. With some of Chisato's toughs to stand guard and a few bribes, even the locals aren't going to bother any of you here.

The previous evening is mostly a blur to you; you recall being brought back to life after nearly dying. Yui jump starting your heart, and Er Yin – seemingly possessed by Amaterasu-Omikami – restoring your spirit to it's rightful place. They got you back to the house, and you impressed upon Akari the need to be gone from there at once, with as heavy a guard as she could possibly pull together.

Akari-niji-chan, true to form, didn't pull together a guard. She created an entourage, an impromptu beach party with Chisato's gang and the Nogitsune-Clan as invited guests. You suspect a lot of that had to do with how you looked; you needed something more than just bed rest this time. You needed water, and soaking in the bath helped, but not enough. So she got you to the ocean.

And that helped a lot.

Sighing, you tug at either side of your bikini bottoms, shaking your tail just a bit to get the hemlines straight. It doesn't take any effort at all to locate Kiki-hime....about half of the somewhat small male population of the beach is centered near the umbrella where Kiki-hime is applying lotion to the still bandaged and conscious Er Yin-sensei. Jinyuu-onee-sama is there as well, seated demurely on a towel and laughing behind her hand at the antics of the volleyball game a short distance away.

The Nogitsune and the humans are getting along really well. They're already starting to form natural pairs, the spell that Er Yin-sensei crafted slowly binding them together as familiar spirit and human spiritualist. Well, not quite spiritualist, more like sensitive, or maybe ESPers. The unnerving thing is that a lot of them notice you before you get close, and your presence subdues them some. You're not quite sure if that's a side effect of what you've been through, or because your eyes are still totally messed up and your fingers are gleaming like jewels in the sunlight. Probably the latter though.

“Oh, Ryu-chan!” Kiki-hime gets up and hugs you tightly, her breasts barely contained by the straining pink bikini she's wearing. Er Yin doesn't bother turning around of course, but her tail flips back and forth a few times, acknowledging your presence. Jinyuu-onee-sama smiles and inclines her head, concealing her worry. You yelp as Kiki-hime's sunscreen-coated fingers caress your back, and she giggles, blushing faintly as she pulls back....not really very much. The boys and men – human and not – are all looking at you enviously.

[] You're enjoying yourself rather more than I expected for a princess in the wild.

Hmm, that's interesting. I wonder what long-term effects that will have on the groups. I guess we'll find out more about inter-uh, spiritual? groups soon.

>>39545523
Then again, almost all of the girls on that beach "belong" to Ryukusa.

[XXX] Shut up and snuggle your wife.
[XXX] You know, you're going to need a lot of that too, being Ainu and all....
[X] How are you enjoying your first beach party?

You smiles and warp your arms around her, pulling her into a warm, close embrace, taking in the cherry scent of her hair and feeling the warmth of her body. She sighs against you, her hands gripping your waist, her bikini struggling as the pink triangle have to cope with another centimeter of stretching. Your own two-piece is more capable – the top is a little more reinforced, because you can never tell when you'll have to beat the crap out of someone and having your booms bouncing around while you play ninja fuckin' ~hurts~.

Still, it's nice that you affect her like this. Gratifying, even.

You wrap your tail around Er Yin's and she reciprocates, her powerful muscles squeezing lightly, and the metal cool and smooth along your tail's fur and scales. Stroking her back with the fins, you are quietly amused that your sister is MUCH more interested in that volleyball game now, the silly prude.

Slowly releasing your wife you surreptitiously take note that there's a lot of money changing hands among your audience. Probably kissing bets. You'll have to arrange to get in on that action with Chisato and hedge the bets later. “Here....” Slipping your tail free of Er Yin's you sweep up the lotion and start to pour some on your hands. Rubbing them together, you nuzzle Kiki-hime and whisper in her ear softly. “You need this too. Your pale Ainu skin is going to burn.” You can feel the blood rushing to her cheeks, as she slowly sits down, back to you and stiff as a board. How precious....you laugh softly and slowly push her down, and she blushes even harder as you make her lie down. You straddle her back and tail, and slowly start working the oily cream into her shoulders.

“So, you're enjoying your first beach party I hope?” You work the lotion in firmly and slowly, and you can feel her relaxing in one way, and heating up in quite another.

“I thought it would be more crowded, but Akari-chan said that these people are all people who know you and work with you....not Clan Ryo, but you personally.” You give her an affirmative noise as you work your way down her back slowly. “I had to sign a few autographs, but mostly they've been very polite. Er Yin scares any of the ones I don't want away pretty quickly.”

“I'm not surprised, she's very intimidating, injured or not.” You make it sound casual, but you feel the strain take hold in your arms and back. You will your muscles to relax, distracting yourself from those thoughts by untying your wife's bikini in the back. Er Yin gives a soft laugh at that, fanning herself with a silver lame fan with metal spokes. She's got REALLY good ears!

“Hey, what are you....RYU-CHAN!” Kiki-hime starts to prop herself up on her elbows but immediately falls flat when her bikini moves in a much different direction.

[] Well, I have to oil ALL of your back.
[] This isn't so bad. It's up front you should worry about.

Go figure, she was the one with the triangles. I had expected either Akari or Kiku.

Kiku, just for the dissonance. Still, she has an aversion to these bodies of water. I wonder where is she.

[x] Well, you wouldn't want to have a burn mark in the shape of your bikini lines, right?

“Not to worry, this isn't so bad,” you tell her as you work the lotion into her mid and lower back slowly. She gives a muffled 'unf' sound as you work the dense muscles of her lower back, near her tail. It presses up under you and you smile, wriggling in place just a bit to 'settle yourself' and making her extremely aware of your position, which makes her whimper and try and flatten her tail down. “It's when I work on your front you should be concerned, hime-dono.”

“You wouldn't!” Her shocked voice is dismayed and lean down, working your hands up her back in a walking motion that makes her moan in pleasure as you squeeze the tension from her muscles.

“Besides,” you add, not answering her question, “I do have to oil all of your back properly, don't I?” You carefully run your flattened fingers along her smooth, soft back, enjoying the feel of her ski, reveling in her presence, her scents. And she is producing some interesting ones. “And you really wouldn't want to have a bikini-string shaped burn visible when you wear that backless dress on our date, would you?”

That DOES make her turn around, one arm over her breasts as she squirms to look up at you from the towel. “Wait, what date?!”

[+] (Secretive.) I'm planning a date night with each of you....

You're rather caught up in the rather amazing vision of your wife in the bright light of the day, half naked, covering her breasts with one slender arm, and doing a really not that good job of it. It's a sight you haven't seen outside of memory for....a very, very long time. Her carelessly innocent pose, her fuschia hair spread out and coiled around her, the contrast of the towel beneath her....and those sky blue eyes, filled with surprise and a sort of innocence. She blinks up at you. “....Ryu-chan?”

Off to the side you're vaguely aware of Yui kicking and throwing the thunderstruck and staring males – human and nogitsune – for yardage or into the ocean.

“....gomen gomen,” you say, holding your hand up in front of you. “You distracted me!” As much as you want to do something entirely different, you gesture for her to turn over. She looks confused and then down at herself. Blushing, she turns back over....but not quickly, and not before she removes her hand, to show you what others can only dream of.

“Kiki-hime, please do not tease Ryukusa-sama so much. She's not well enough for that sort of thing yet.” Er Yin's gentle warning sounds both amused and quite serious.

“Hey, hush you!” you turn your attention back to Kiki-hime and worth the oil into her sides, using firm pressure so as not to tickle her. “Since it's traditional to date your bride to be, I thought we would go out on one. You, me, dinner, dresses....”

“Dresses?” she asks curiously. You feel your cheeks heating up.

“Yes, me too. I have dresses and some of them are very nice, I'll have you know!” You work the last of the lotion into her lower back, and upper thighs, just under her bikini bottoms. “I was saving the pants-suit for the wedding.” ….you know, she might have Inau-san's problem if too much more blood rushes to her cheeks. She's probably blushing all the way down to her navel, which she isn't, because you can tell it's only down to her breasts. Leaning forward you whisper almost silently, “I'm planning a date night for each of us, and you are first.” You also have another reason she's first, but that's private.

“Yes, Ryu-chan,” she says in a dreamy voice. You trace her name – Ryuu Kiki – onto her back with your talon carefully.

You lean forward, kissing the back of her head softly, holding your hair out of your way with both hands. “I have to go talk to Peta-sama and Chi-chan....I'll let you finish the rest yourself, this time....kasan.”

“Uh huh....” she says even more sleepily, and you smile as you stand up and walk over to Er Yin.

“Where is your Precious Gem, Er Yin-sensei?” She's dressed in high-thigh bottoms and a front-zip bustier style swimsuit much like yours, save hers has straps and yours zips at the side. Her left arm is in a sling, and bandaged quite heavily from wrist to shoulder. Her shoulder has a pretty thick dressing as well. “Can I do anything for you?” You rest your hand on her thigh and that alone seems to make her relax.

Er Yin smiles, her blank gaze overlooking the ocean. “She, Yuuhi-sama, and Isusangi-sama are all on the rocks near the tide pools, well away from the ocean. We have been together most of the morning.” Er Yin seems to take strength from your touch, however, so you linger a moment more. “Thank you for taking care of my Hougyoku-chan, Ryukusa-sama.”

“no need at all; I am glad you are with us. Have they told you of my plan?” She nods, her smile not fading which you consider a tacit approval. “I think that I have an idea to gain its help. I need to work on it a little more. Please be patient with me, Er yin-sensei, and I will take care of you.”

She turns then, and looks through you. “Ryukusa-sama, you are taking care of all of us. That is all that matters. This is a small thing, in the scope of your duties.”

[] no, it isn't a small thing

[XX] place your finger on her lips and kiss her scar
[X] no, it isn't a small thing

Despite her inability to see it, you frown and then shake your head. She does notice that – your hair being long enough it almost always touches anyone you're this close to – and starts to speak. The soft touch of your finger against her lips prevents her from speaking, and she looks surprised. You lean up and lift her bangs, exposing the X-shaped scar across the bridge of her nose, centered between her unseeing blue-and-silver eyes. She freezes as you gently, slowly kiss that dark flesh, the keloid scarring rough and strange against your lips.

She lowers her head, almost seeming shamed by the simple act, and you run your hand through her soft silver hair, caressing the twisted and folded curve of her horn. “No, Er Yin. This is not a small thing, not to me. Nothing is as important to me as the people I love, not even duties and fate.” Your voice is soft, almost husky. She doesn't know what you've been through, only its effects upon you. She doesn't know how long it was.

>The white, twisted metal gates stand before you, the ruined city beyond crawling with the dead, the ghostly howls and terror-filled screams choking the air. The blue-black sun in the dark sky scorches your skin, casts red-gold shadows, burns the very air around you, blasts the pearlescent desert. The guardians rise up, and you unleash the terrible wind-storm upon them with a scream of rage, turning the desert sands into a billion knives. Nothing will stand in your way, not even the accursed drinkers of breath....

You shudder and press your forehead to hers, taking deep, slow breaths, opening your eyes as you cradle her head in your hands. But it is her hand that cups the back of your neck, strong, reassuring.

“Hai, aniki,” she whispers, and you look into her unseeing eyes. “Go and find your friend. I am sure she has much to talk to you about. Your sister and I will watch over your wife.”

“....yes,” you agree softly, a shaky sort of smile crossing your lips. “All right.”

Rising you shake off the memory, and step out from under the umbrella, shading your eyes to scan the beach. Yui's thinned out a lot of the audience, but with Kiki-hime asleep there's a lot less to be looking at too. The volleyball game is quite raucous, and a lot of the younger Yakuza and Nogitsune-born are there. Which is of course where Chisato-san will be, if you're any judge of character.

Inevitably, a handsome, muscular man with a very interesting pompadour style makes certain he's in your path as you walk across the sands. There are a number of humans nearby, clearly posing and posturing for your benefit. There are also a few pair of nogitsune-born and their human companions, mostly watching as opposed to pretending to be tough. He grins, his teeth perfect. He's got a fair amount of sleeve work done, though, and some chest work. Hes pretty impressive, though hes got very little meaningful work compared to Chi-chan.

“Yeh, you're Ryukusa-san, ain't you?” You remind yourself that all he's seeing is your human form, and your tattoos. No tail, no claws, no dragon eyes, no horns. Long, beautiful hair, a nice body, and probably a lot of blood in your sclera.

“Yes. Can I help you?” Because of course he wants something.

“My sukeban says if I beat you up, I can have half the territory to run.” He grins, looking down at you, even though you're not exactly short. “If you just give up, we can call it even. I'm sure I can show you a good time in my new territory....” There's lots of laughter and nodding and people making fun.

[] What, did Chi-chan need you killed or something?

[X] Well, this is inconvenient.

“Okay.” The look of utter confusion on his face explains why Akari uses that simple one word answer so often. You step around him and he reaches for you, but you turn before he actually lays a hand on you. “What, did Chisato-chan need you killed or something? You haven't been playing in her sandbox or bothering her girls, have you?”

He looks startled and lowers his hand, and you tilt your head. “You DO know who I am, right?”

“Yeah, you're the babe that sukeban said I need to defeat to get my territory.” You sigh and shake your head. He's starting to get angry, but you cross your arms under your breasts.

“Well, would you like the first punch? I suppose I can give you that much leeway. But I am going over to talk with Chisato-chan, so we could ask her what she meant first, if you prefer. It'd be safer.” You pointedly avoid saying for whom it would be safer, because you really just want to look at some pretty girls and maybe hold Peta on your lap and pet her ears.

“Well, don't say it's my fault,” he says, surprising you with his willingness to hit first. Apparently Chi-chan wanted to clean up the gene pool a little.

[] Right, just throw him in the ocean.

Well it's worth a try at any rate!

>>39548077
Or properly chastened. I bet he was going all "yeah, I bet I can beat her ass", and Chisato told him to try.

Were Chisato more traditionalist, she'd have ordered the pompadour dude to chop off his pinky finger just for suggesting picking a fight with Ryukusa.

>>39548143
He should have at least picked up on the fact that Ryukusa gets to call her "-chan."

[X] This fellow needs a few lessons: humility, appearances can be deceiving, and definitely flying lessons.

You sigh and drop your hands to your sides: he's telegraphing a stomach punch from miles away. He slams his fist into your abs hard enough to make you take a step back, though he doesn't knock the wind out of you at all. He's respectably strong, for a human. You tilt your head, studying him, and he takes a step back and goes for a side kick. Deciding to teach him a few lessons, you sidestep that and are standing in front of him as he lowers his leg, looking utterly confused.

The snickers and laughter that erupt from around him don't capture his attention just yet, but that's because only a few people have seen the left side of his head so far. He goes for a double handed head smash, but you catch his hands before the impact your head. “Don't lace your fingers, you'll break them.” He looks shell-shocked and jumps back, taking deep breaths. Now there's a lot more laughter a you flick oily hair from your fingertips, but he's too intent on beating you up to realize why they're laughing on the right side now.

“All right, it's time for my ultimate technique....” You stare at him, and he leaps at you, his hands flashing quick and fast as he shouts 'ora' a whole bunch of times. Of course by the time he's throwing a few dozen punches, you've already done a flip over his head and are standing behind him, but he doesn't notice this for several seconds.

>>39548538
Oh boy!

When he realizes you're gone he tries a roundhouse punch that could quite possible have been telegraphed from the moon. You tilt your head slightly and let it flip your hair a little, and then you press your fingertip to his chest. “Your form is terrible, you style grotesque, and you use way too much hair gel. I've solved that last problem, and I suggest you take holy vows and join a monastery before you actually annoy Chisato-san enough for her to kill you.”

“Wha....who....MY HAIR!” He looks at you with tears in his eyes and grits his teeth.

“Chi-chan calls me Aoi.” That stops him dead in his tracks and there is dead silence from his cronies. Taking advantage of his shock, you casually pick him up by his lapels, and hurl him headfirst into the ocean in along, shallow arc. He lands in the water and comes up shortly after. You glance around and the rest of his people scatter to the five directions. You kick a little sand over the three piles of his precious pompadour, and saying a polite prayer for the deceased, you walk over to the volleyball game.

It's quite fun, really, the teams uneven and made up of unequal parts boys, girls, older, younger, and human and nogitsune. They're mostly just hitting the ball overt the net and only kind of keeping some kind of score.

“OY! AOI-CHAN!” You can't help but smile as Chisato, in a swimsuit that seems to consist mostly of string and a few not-all-that-large scallop seashells, waves enthusiastically to you.

You walk over and settle onto the cooler next to her, and give Peta a finger-wave as Chisato holds the nogitsune-born on her lap. “LookitIfound!” Chi-chan claims happily as she plucks Peta out of her land hugs her close, rubbing her cheek against the little girls cheek. Peta silently accepts the nuzzling, apparently interested in the volleyball game and clutching a large cup of blue shaved ice in both hands. She's dressed much the same as you last saw her as well. “Isn't she just the CUTEST!!!”

“Yes, yes she is,” you agree. “I like mine, though, so she's all yours. How are you doing, your Most Imperial Highness Patanjali Piri Yokuhime Kuronogitsune Pa?”

Peta waves one hand at you without looking at you, then sips her shaved ice.

Chisato is staring at you like you're insane. “That was the name of the nogitsune-girl that Akari-san gave me to talk to.” You nod casually, struggling to keep the smile off your face. “This is....” You nod. “She's....” You nod. “And I'm....” You glance at Peta-chan, who looks at you and lifts her hand in a fox sign. Then you nod to Chi-chan. She gives Peta-chan another bear-hug, and snuggles, making a very odd 'squee' noise that they don't even do in anime.

[X] Wait for Chisato to calm down....no, never mind, that's not going to happen. Anyways, tell her about pompousdork-guy.

When Chisato settles down enough to put Peta-chan – who is remarkably tolerant of the over-affectionate Chi-chan's hugs and snuggles – back in her lap, you pet Peta-chan's ears gently. She looks up at you with her glowing red eyes, and makes a fox sign at you, before turning her attention back to the volleyball game. It's nice to be able to pet those chinchilla-fur-soft ears, and she seems to enjoy it, her tail slowly wrapping about Chisato's waist, making the woman giggle.

“Sounds like you two are getting along well then,” you suggest mildly.

“Ever since the fox-people showed up, things have been going better and better. When this little cutie showed up at the office, a lot of stuff that was hanging over my head just seemed to fall into place. She's like my own personal good luck charm!” Luck probably has very little to do with it, but then again, maybe it does. Nogitsune can cause fortunes to change for the worse, but there isn't anything that says it has to be for people they're hanging out with. You'd lay bets that a bunch of Chi-chan's enemies have had some very bad luck recently.

“And how do you like your new pet?” Chisato looks confused, but Peta-chan gives you a thumbs up before sipping her shaved ice. “Very good. I'm glad you like her, she's kind of important to me.” Peta-chan nods solemnly with the straw still in her mouth, and then wriggles back into Chisato's lap, prompting Chisato to wrap her arms about the little fox-child's waist.

“Oh, by the way, I sent some moron to find you and beat you up. He needs his brains shaken loose, I think they're all glued to the inside of his skull with all the gel he uses.” Chisato strokes Peta's hair and Peta looks up at her with those glowing red eyes, before looking at the volley ball game again. Chisato hardly notices, but she seems....calmer, truly happier than the last time you met her. More carefree, rather than on edge.

“Yeah, I met him. I shaved his head and told him to go join a monastery. I think someone's fishing him out of the ocean now.”

Chi-chan reaches into her purse by the cooler, and pulls out a cigarette and lights it. “Well, he's got potential, when he's not convinced he can take on anyone and anything. Thanks for that, I owe you. Of course, you owe me a hell of a lot more for the party.” You nod, and watch as Peta-chan looks up and lets Chi-chan get exactly one puff before pulling it out of her mouth.

And then eats it.

Chi-chan sighs as you stare at Peta-chan calmly chewing on the cigarette. “Yeah, she does that.” She bends down and kisses the top of the nogitsune-born's head.

“She's just thinking of your health Chi-chan,” you comment mildly, as Peta swallows the cigarette and then washes it down with her blue shaved ice. “I think.” Peta gives you no assistance on that matter. “In any case, I'm glad you two are getting along. I wasn't sure what might happen, but an emergency came up and....”

>You look up at the ragged, bleeding cliffs, the shining thread hanging and drooping from the jagged violet rocks that ooze glowing green sludge into the stream that prefaces the cliffs. Gripping your broken right arm at the shoulder you force the joint back into place by main strength, the pain making stars explode across your vision. The moon turns a dozen eyes upon you, and the white sky sparkles with black starlight. You steel yourself for the first leap, prying that this one is not as tall as the last one....

“....and my family needed help right away,” you finish softly. Peta's hands are on your thigh, and she's leaning over, looking up into your downcast face. You brush your hair to the side, as Chisato lays a gentle hand on your shoulder.

“Aoi-chan?” she asks softly, looking concerned.

You shake your head and stroke Peta's hair gently, smiling. “I'm all right, Chi-chan. I gotta go find my priestess. I owe her hugs. Listen to Peta-chan, she's got it goin' on.” Hundreds of years worth of hugs you missed out on. You shake your head and push the thoughts from your mind when a tiny hand is placed on your cheek. You open your eyes to look into Peta-chan's, and she tilts her head, looking concerned, the only time you've ever seen her make any kind of expression.

Sorry for hugging your mistress Chisato, you can hug one of our Ryukusa's wives in return!

>>39549418
Yui and Akari are getting collars, but we might as well get collars for everyone (Kiku would definitely want one).

Man, this experience is really haunting her.

I wonder if her travel damaged her both mentally AND spiritually.

We just took a little trip, is all. You usually need a few days to recover after a trip, right?

If Peta-chan remains concerned, we can offer to share a few stories from the other side. Maybe story time with Peta and Kiku? We should probably talk about some of the things we saw with someone for our own mental health.

Kiku would want one from Er yin.
Er yin is more of an equal on that side with Ryukusa.
Kiki would probably be confused, then blush, then offer to wear it if thats what ryukusa wanted.

>>39549527
Honestly I'd be more concerned if we weren't having a bit of trouble, re-adjusting and recovering. That would make me think there was something more lying in wait.

Which is why our date with Er Yin will include buying collars for everyone.

[X] Hug Peta-chan.

Forcing a smile, you takea deep breath, lettign it out. The smile becomes natural and you hug Chisato and Peta together. “I'm fine....I just need to spend some time in the ocean. You two be good.” To your surprise both of them hug you back, and Peta rubs her cheek agaisnt yours.

To your surprise, Aoi-chan murmurs in your ear. “As logn as you're okay, Aoi-chan. I don't know what I'd do without you lookin' out for me. Really, I mean it.” You know she does. She'd never admit anything of the sort, any weakness at all, with any of her subordinates around unless it was that important.

“You'll do fine now. Peta-chan can take care of you. But there's so much ahead....it won't be easy. But I need your help. I need the help of the chivalrous organizations.”

Peta slides back into Chi-chan's lap as the sukeban sits up, and gives you a double fox-sign. Chi-chan grins and gives you a salute. “We'll be there for you, Aoi-chan, never fear!”

You smile and walk towards the rocks and tide pools – but not before catching a shout as the volleyball sails towards you. You leap up a good eight feet, and spike it to the other side of the net to the cheers of 'your side' and your friend. It doesn't take you long to get to the tide pools, and you see Yui cruising on a cloud not too high up, watching over Kiki-hime and Er Yin-sensei with the utmost seriousness. She waves back when you wave to her, and blushes brick red as you blow her a kiss and make a heart shape of your tail.

You find the tide pool you were lying in earlier, and note it's gone down very little. The tide won't be coming in for hours, of course, but it might be a good idea to find your wayward priestess, the deadly huntress, and your own cute nogitsune-born. Of course, you haven't yet seen Akari-niji-chan yet, but that doesn't mean she's not around.

In fact, she's probably shadowing you, much as Yui is watching over the princess.

“You are always too perceptive, aniki,” complains your best friend. She's wearing – for the moment – a sleek and simple black two piece, with simple jade green stripes on the sides and hips. Hers is a sports style swimsuit though, rather than a casual one, which surprises you very little. Her stoic, tiny smile belies her dismay, as she slides slowly out of the rock wall nearby. “Are you feeling all right?”

You blink back tears, and murmur softly, “You cannot imagine how much I've missed you, Akari.” She blinks in confusion....then you are hugging her tight, crying softly into her shoulder as she holds you, startled and confused.

>To Be Continued....

Thanks for writing XS.

Dem feels.

XS, I'm not sure how often people tell you how amazing your writing is, but I'm sure it's not nearly often enough.
Because you are an amazing writer and a great QM.

Thank you for the thread!

>>39549881

Thanks for the thread!

It was amazing.

>>39549881
>heart shape of your tail.
Yes
> You cannot imagine how much I've missed you, Akari.
Nooo

>>39549641

Er Yin and Ryukusa could choose each others' collars

For some reason I think red leather would be perfect for Er Yin.

>>39549916
This, collars for everyone.

Thank you all for reading and playing.

Yes, that's Peta's real name.

There is actually little spiritual damage from the trip - but it was a very bad, long journey in a very strange, broken universe. The psychic trauma is quite real, but she's recovered from most of the physical injuries. She fared much better than pic related.

A few other questions can be answered.

>>39549997
>but it was a very bad, long journey in a very strange, broken universe. The psychic trauma is quite real, but she's recovered from most of the physical injuries. She fared much better than pic related.
We need to spend a good long while relaxing with our family and friends and go on those dates ASAP.

I appreciate that you folks do enjoy the thread, and hope to keep up the good work until the end. We're about halfway through.

>>39549997
Figured I'd wait until the thread was over before asking about a different quest, but are you going to continue Slavebreaker anytime?

>>39550047
I should be able to continue it this weekend on sunday evening/monday morning.

>>39549997
Is there anything we could've done to make her journey less torturous for her? Could it have gone worse?

And, most important of all, will she forget?

>>39550031
What, halfway through the quest?
That is...a lot shorther than I'd thought. Not that I'd complain.

>>39550079
Ah nice, was starting to get a bit worried cause it's been like two months since the last thread.

>>39550102
It's 879 pages so far.

>>39550086
Not less torturous, no, but your reaffirmations of what (who, really) is important in her life, and your absolute dedication to the family even above gaining power or learning secrets made her journey less traumatic and painful than it should have been. It could have gone MUCH worse.

Ryukusa will never forget - she's incapable of it, because she is a Water dragonette. But she will get past it, because her family will help her.

>>39550108
I run it on my weekends, and the last few have been problematic, as I've been working strange days. I'm back to my usual schedule now.

>>39549997
>>39550164

Since the deal we made with the landlordladysomething included security, and it kept failing to provide it, does it means that the eldritch being own us something?

Also, does Ryukusa have any karmic debt (or does people own her), currently?

>>39550292
yeah seriously, we keep paying so much and going through so much just to talk to the Thing to have a good place to live and good security, and it can't even protect us in its fucking office

fucker owes us massively

>>39550292
>(or does people own her)
You mean owe?

>>39550292
>>39550323
No - it sent Ryukusa help.

You think Nodens and Lolihastur would show up out of the kindness of their blood pumping organs?

>>39550359
To expand on that, Ryukuza is gettign the full on penhouse with extradimensional protection, and she's paying premium price instead of full price, but Ooya-sama sent her actual HELP in N'kai.

>>39550383
>but Ooya-sama sent her actual HELP in N'kai.
didn't really come across like that, hell until you said this it seemed like she/he/it sat on its fat ass doing nothing at all, though that asks the question as to why It didn't personally help out and why even with It's help called in it took 200 years

>>39550359
>Nodens and Lolihastur
still have no idea who they are

>>39550359

Well, they are beings that are hard to understand by nature. I supposed Nodens just wanted to see how much we could kill, and the KiY thought it was interesting to screw with the little Earthling.

Thouhg, since the landsomething sent help, I'd say it's money invested pretty wisely.

On the other hand, I wonder how much Oba-shit payed it to let her send us into the eldritch space. I guess the old snake really wanted us to toughen up.

>>39550350

I do

>>39550484
regardless of how obacunt managed it, we're going to repay her 8 fold before we finally kill her

>>39550413
Tsathouaggha is a lazy monster. Literally, it spends most of it's time sleeping even in the HP Lovecraft stories.

Hastur is a strange thing that exists as a physical embodiment of insanity in a castle that sits on the shores of a black lake and lies under the lake at the same time as causality and reality break down in Carcossa near lake Hali.

Nodens is one of the elder gods, who imprisoned the Great Old Ones away from this dimension - as in he's one of the ones who put Cthulhui to sleep, locked Yog-Sathoth out, and shoved Tsathouaggha into the black Caverns of N'kai. He's a bit of a prick as well.

>>39550413

Nodens is a god who kill abominations à la Cthulhu for sport and for fun

Lolihastur is a loli version of Hastur, rival of Cthulhu and perhaps even more harmful to humanity's sanity than the old squidface

>>39550413
Point one: The journey took 200 years, not the help. The help was probably immediate, along with certain factions not fucking with her.

Point two: Google them. It will take less time then talking to us and it'll raise your self-esteem.

On the other hand, now we can certainly help with Rei's cat problem

>>39550561
How so? Sure we've aged 2 centuries, but haven't gained the powers of being 2 centuries old yet, and like XS said, we didn't get them all and only bits and pieces we'll get through remembering and dealing with flashbacks.

>>39550561
That depends, anon. Taking them to Ultar would mean they would change who they are. They have a place in this world, and I think it would be more valuable to help then find it.

>>39550585
Anon, reread what XS said. We gain altered powers when not in the human realm.

>>39550619
>>39550585
Allow me to clarify.

Yes you have gained powers from being 200 years olfd, but they're not standard dragonette abilities. Like all the good dragonette powers, you won't have access to them in the mortal world, only when you are outside of it - such as in Barriers, an extradimensional space, or in a heaven or hell.
