[X] Wait and see what Rie wants before you do anything, especially anything that might draw her attention.
[+] Sooth Yui in other ways.
[+] Soothe Akari too.

Purposefully deepening your breathing, you turn your hand slightly, and lay your fingertips along Yui's soft belly, feeling the hard muscle beneath that softness. The softness is thinner, less obvious, but she is still warm and soft to the touch. You trace tiny, delicate kanji against her skin, symbols of love, hope, peace, joy, belonging. She murmurs a little more, but soon she is back in a deep, dreamless sleep.

Carefully turning your left hand, you're pleasantly surprised to find that it doesn't cause you agonizing pain. A dull, deep ache, but nothing like the razor-wire and glass splinters before. Akari's hand slides up higher, pressing between your breasts, feeling your heartbeat. Her eyes close, but she doesn't go back to sleep. She definitely relaxes though, and you're not really asking for more than that.

You look up and Rie is there, crouched on the other side of Yui. Her fingertips lightly pat Yui's cheek, reminiscent of how she did the same when you were wounded. Yui's breathing deepens even further, and a little smile crosses her soft, full lips. Rie lowers her hands to the covers and looks at you directly. You blink back at her and murmur softly, “Thank you Rie-sama. Sorry about the one youkai, but she's with your green-tailed friend.”

she nods slowly, but doesn't seem worried or concerned, classic Rie-style. “I have to go now,” she explains softly, and a plethora of questions erupts through your mind, but you only ask the one that matters.

“Will you come visit? I mean, not to help or warn us, but simply to visit?”

Her eyes widen ever so little, but her pupils widen in a much more obvious manner.

“You're part of my family, Rie-sama. Some of the others feel the same way. Even Kiku-chan....” Her fingertips press lightly against your lips as she looks at you seriously.

>>1251133
“You are a very unusual person. Even in a world of unusual persons, you are more unusual. I will be near, and you will see me, even when I am not protecting my home.” This time it is your eyes that widen. “I am not the same as I was, but I am not very much different. I....I know things now, things I did not know before. They are heavy, Ryukusa, and make me feel strangely. But you found a home for my cat youkai. And I thank you for that.”

It's a little hard to speak past the lump in your throat. “You are always welcome, Ryiekatsumoun,” you whisper softly. You're not crying, your eyes are just wet.

She blinks slowly and her tails curl into a pair of curves, pointing the same direction, a pair of reversed question marks. “Just Rie.”

Your baffled expression makes her smile. A real smile, a think you have never seen her do. “Just Rie, for you, Ryukusa.”

“Yes, Rie,” you whisper. She turns, a cat already, then slips out of the bed and around a corner that you're fairly certain doesn't actually exist in this room at all. Akari's hand traces the first kanji of your name, Rie's name, over your heart. “Is it weird to miss her?”

“She's here, 'Kusa. Just....watching out for us.” Akari shifts and you lip your left arm from between you as she moves to half lie across your body, her head pillowed in the hollow of your shoulder, against your breast. “It was nice of her to say goodbye though.”

“Mnh,” you agree. Resting your head against hers, you drift back to sleep.

You wake this time with Akari spooned against your side, and Yui-chan shivering, her back to you and curled even more tightly than before, which is pretty impressive for someone who is nearly six feet tall. You would know. Akari is awake, of course, and her eyes are open, but she isn't moving. It doesn't take you long to figure out why; she's trying to listen to what Yui is saying in her sleep.

[] You can afford a little use of power for this – filter the words so you and Akari can hear.
[] Listen closely yourself and then tell Akari.
[] Try and use the Void to enter her dream.
[] Help Akari move closer so she can hear better without waking Yui.

You think for a moment, then decide that thinking is overrated, and should be considered a last resort. Well, not really, but you'd like to think that way sometimes. Instead you, carefully extricate your right hand from between you and yui, careful not to tickle Yui with too light a touch. She shivers t the faint movement, and you frown.

Akari glances up at you, then concentrates on Yui....right up until you gently wrap her in both your arms and with your tail and lift her up until she is lying across your body. It takes only a few seconds for you both to get comfortable with the position, and she rests her head between your breasts, but you know she is not hearing your heartbeat, though she is undoubtedly listening.

Once that is accomplished, you then use your power over the wind to draw Yui's words closer and to direct them to both yourself and Akari equally. Sometimes the most basic tricks work the best.

You also immediately work very hard at keeping absolute control over your heart and blood.

”....they'll find out....sooner or later....” She shifts slightly and whimpers almost too quietly to hear. ”You don't know....my master....” A tiny, soft exhalation. It would have been a grunt if it had been louder. ”....my master will find out....she'll make you....” The murmuring fades and she shifts a little more, and makes a soft, unhappy noise in her sleep. At this point you gently reach over and lovingly play with the base of her tail, stroking the sweet spot above the base and lightly holding onto the cute length of it.

Yui-chan smiles and sighs, relaxing quite a bit....but it isn't even five minutes before she's mumbling in her sleep again, this time in a very thick Kyushu dialect, rather than her usual Tokyo Japanese.

These two things are almost mutually exclusive. not making them exclusive with make it hard for Akari to atone.

No worries anon, everyone misses something obvious when voting from time to time!

>>1251286
No, it's a risk inherent in being able to chose multiple options. sometimes they really aren't obviously mutually exclusive.

If you vote from the heart you really can't lose.

>>1251303
It's still not clear to me, it hints at a context I missed.

>>1251304
It's also a risk when playing as a character smarter than you are that you might not realize something dumb. You do well preventing that kind of thing usually, though.

In this case both are appropraite responses, but they're also mostly exclusive. But not perfectly exclusive.

But no one wants to psychologically abuse akari that way. Which surprises me not at all.

[XXX] Call Er Yin to your aid through the Void.
[XXX] See if you can slip yourself and Akari into her clearly enchanted dreams.
[XX] Waken Kiku-chan and see if she can deal with this effectively and quietly.
[X] Quietly remind Akari that this sort of thing is supposed to be taken care of immediately.

You mouth the words than actually whisper them against Akari's cheek, but she understands perfectly despite that. “Even if you thought she was having ordinary nightmares, Akari-niji-chan, you should have told someone, at the very least Kiku-saishi-chan – the Baku should be preventing them even here.” She acknowledges the gentle rebuke with a slight nod, and you can see in her eyes that your rebuke is a hard thing for her to take, deserved as it is.

The Baku is not a minor kami, and if Yui-chan was still having nightmares, they would either be deep seated psychological trauma....or an extraordinarily powerful magical attack that could penetrate the best defenses that anything short of a temple could provide. Though you do have to admit, dreams are trickier magics than most. The rules rarely apply, and the youkai that can manipulate them are few and far between....and all incredibly dangerous.

The nue, for instance, recently brought up by Yuuhi's tale.

Still, you're notin great pain, and you're with your family. And more importantly, you're not drugged, medicated, or even slightly buzzed. You kiss Akari's cheek and then send out a silent call to Er Yin-sensei. She wakens slowly, but quickly becomes alert. You are thrilled that she doesn't wake anyone else or move suddenly. (We have a problem; Yui is having nightmares.)

(Here, now, Ryukusa-sama?) You give her an affirmative. Unfortunately she verifies your fears. (It should not be possible under the auspices of the baku and the wards, to say nothing of our separation from the mortal world here. I will have Kiku see if she can determine the cause or the source.)

(Please allow me; she's in her sister's arms at the moment.) The amused response is still tinged with worry.

Whispering Kiku's name into the air, you direct it to her alone, and quickly explain the reason you woke her. With the ease of long practice she slips free of her sister's rather tight grasp, leaving her sleeping robe behind, which your wife cuddles and smiles at with a soft, sleepy noise. Kiku-chan is at your side instantly, and studies Yui-niji-chan closely – after putting on a new yukata.

She too mouths words rather than speaking them. ”Dream possession. Not a nue's nightmares.A sorcerous casting. Most likely by someone who has something that was a part of Yui at some time.” You frown. Good news and bad news. And you're fairly certain you know who it is. Or at least their clan affiliation. “There is precious little we can do while she iss asleep in this state, with these wards and powers up. If the baku was helpless, it must be a very close bond.”

Akari is the one who voices your thought. ”Her blood, her hair, perhaps her baby teeth or an actual adult tooth?” Kiku nods and then her eyes ignite like twin storms of burning gold. Immediately she turns more pale and sits down, holding her belly.

Er yin makes her way to the four of you, waking no one, and sits. She maintains contact through the voice – she can't read your lips. (We will have to wait, Ryukusa-sama. Until she wakes we cannot speak to her properly about what is happening.)

You narrow your eyes. “i don't think so,” you murmur, not bothering to whisper. “Close your eyes, niji-chan,” you murmur to Akari,who obeys immediately. “My blood pressure will normalize in a moment,” you warn Er Yin and Kiku-chan, the latter's hair exploding into mock flames. But she doesn't try to stop you, which is an excellent sign.

Dropping yours and Akari's blood pressure is easy. Maintaining coherent through from conscious to unconscious is much more difficult, but neither impossible nor troublesome. Especially with your skills in the Void. You might be a seer or a sorceress, but you are definitely dangerous. And if your prey is in someone else's dream, by the Kami you will fucking take heaven to them. Dragging Akari's unconscious mind with you is only slightly more difficult – whatever strange sense of her sleeping mind you have makes drawing her into dreams with you all too easy.

You reach into Yui's sleeping mind and draw yourself to her with ease....

Yui sees pretty much all of the other characters very differently then we do, to her we look like a super scary death dragon. oddly though we dont really know this is how she sees things but maybe entering her dream let us on to this somehow.

I want to help Yui in her dreamscape, but dragging her and the tormentor to ours would maybe weaken the spell...

Every type of dragonette has their secrets. It's the nature of dragons to have them, and that follows through in their spawn, human blooded or not. You haven't a clue what any of the others have, but the one that Water dragonettes have is a doozie.

The bridge between conscious and subconscious is thin for your kind. Water dragonettes, being Clever and Dangerous, are also very self aware and self involved. And one of the most interesting aspects, one of the very first aspects of Water dragonettes learning about their power is dreaming. Specifically, lucid dreaming.

You slide into the dreaming mindset before you even achieve an REM state. Akari takes a little more guidance but soon she is dreaming as well, and you build the dream with what you glean from Yui's clam, pained, and defiant psyche. The walls of white marble rise around you, textured in patterns of Imperial Longevity Knotwork, towering into the clouds above, pearl white and beautiful. The smooth marble you stand on is the same white.

If only it were clean.

Blood is smeared in patches everywhere. Floors, walls, hand-prints, impact marks, cast off spatter, arterial spray in a couple of instances that is quickly sealed. Akari knows how to read the blood, but she doesn't get nearly the imagery you do. At least, you hope not. Someone has been beating your herald silly, and you have absolutely no doubt who it is, given Yui-niji-chan's dislike of white colors, and white marble specifically. No wonder she wants to be the groom.

The cracking sound as Akari's claws and horns grow tells you that no, she is getting the exact same imagery as you did. Her breathing is deep and steady and her eyes are glossy black, carnelian irises subsumed by her pupils as the berserker rage overwhelms her.

“It's a dream Akari-niji-chan. It's not real, not that way. That doesn't mean we can't hurt the person who did this. Maybe kill them. But it won't work like it does in life.” you lift your left arm, and flex your hand and elbow slowly. Nothing – no pain. You smile and recall something and flex your hand again. Oh yes....that works really nicely. You glance up at the swirl of clouds as Akari gets herself under control – something that wouldn't have happened without help in real life.

She flexes her claws and looks at you expectantly. “She's your lover, I figure I can be the distraction for you and feel out the enemy power. I have a lot of experience at this sort of thing here.” Akari looks around, confused, and then her expression lights up and she gets the most evil smile you have ever seen her produce in your entire life. She then walks to the nearest wall and slides into it without a sound.

Then you go hunting.

With a trail so obvious you can't even call it that; the halls form the same patterns as the symbols on the walls, and you hear the smack of iron against flesh and bone and the soft thud of a body hitting a wall then the floor immediately after. “You should have come back to us, you worthless half-breed bastard. You belong with your family, not with some pathetic, barely glorified Yakuza shits.” Tall, wide chest, deep voice, but young as well. Proving himself a man, undoubtedly.

The sound of thick blood being spat on the floor is one you've made a few times yourself. “I am with my family, and I will remain with them until I die.” You hear her stand up and the swing of the kanabo; she tries to dodge but he reacts too quickly, hitting her with it enough to put her off balance for powerful kick. She slams into the wall at a height of ten feet, and falls hard, though safely. She is already getting to her hands and knees.

“I will be here for you, every kamidamned night, you worthless yak scum. I will be here, and you will suffer for the rest of your life. They cannot keep me from you, not even the baku can do that.” He moves towards your herald, the kanabo moving up high. “Death would be a fucking blessing, you stupid little woman.”

They did indeed say that. There's a ton of ways around it "just a dream", "he acted on his own," "he was kicked out of the clan," etc. Most of those would stick, and Ryukusa knows that - but she can lodge a complaint with Kuraokami himself fairly easily.

But it also means Ryukusa has free reign to deal with him however she sees fit.

Hey there was that "Yakuza" thug that scared one of our god's messagers shitless and killed one of our warriors, and our god explicitly promised we wouldn't fuck with her again.

Lets fuck with her again

They need some proper lessons in way to not fuck with Ryukusa.

I say we feed this fucker to Izanami-okami, too, if he doesn't surrender.

And don't forget they're still paying what fucking with us, Akari and Yui cost them.

I guess we're going to see this ambassador girl once again.

>>1251526

If they use the "he went rogue" justification, shouldn't it be pointed out that they still failed to take care of the threat he represented, and so still owe us a compensation?

I mean, policing their rogue elements is their responsabilities, and Ryukusa won't hesitate to use it against them, if they're trying to fuck with her.

[XXX] That would be your cue to announce his erroneous assumption..
[XXX] Oh, shades of your first fight with your cousin, tetsubo and all.
[XX] Make your entrance in silence until you actually get to him.
[X] So Clan Kurao can't keep it's hands off my girls? I know they're cute and all, but really.

You walk around the corner in absolute silence, dressed neatly in the idealized image of Yakuza – tight vest, rumpled dress shirt 9sapphire blue, of course!), nice tight pants, belt with a cool silver and enamel buckle, placing an expensive and stylish fedora on as you tuck your other hand into your pocket. You give yourself just a little swagger, and pull out a nice heavy duty pool cue and add an extra-ostentatious gold pinky ring. Perfect post-delinquent cool look right out of a sleazy bar, just what the idiot oni would most likely imagine of a Yakuza lieutenant.

He's tall, about ten feet, and powerfully built. He's wearing white war paint, or perhaps it's ritual paint, over his yellow skin. His hair is a shocking shade of red, and long, as appropriate for an older man, but his simple gold and black loincloth tells you he's following more....um, modern styles of oni fashion. His kanabo or tetsubo is massive, black steel that gleams evilly. He's wearing a lot of gold jewelry, but it's his black steel sheathed left arm that he's holding the kanabo with that catches your interest. A smith, it seems, and not a bad one at that.

Yui slowly staggers to her feet, a mass of bruises and a wide variety of gashes and cuts. One eye is swollen shut, and the way she's holding her side tell you that she has bruised, maybe broken ribs. Her eyes only flick to you for an instant, before she turns her attention back on her ex-clan mate. “Daibutsu, you are so full of it. My master is-

He starts to swing the massive club, just as he has every time he's heard her call you master, and the whistling slice it makes through the air as it move skyward is enough to make your lovely Yui flinch. Daibutsu, on the other hand, stumbles as he follows through with a six pound piece of steel as the other forty-four pounds clangs to the marble flour at your feet while you study your nails. He sweeps around to finish his swing, his metal gauntlet closing into a fist as he plans to make an example of the dream you that he apparently thinks Yui-niji-chan conjured to protect her.

The look on his face when you catch his fist with your left hand and adjust your hat with your right has got to be precious. Yui is gaping at you, her eye alight with a happier, healthier, brilliant shine that was missing a moment ago.

“So, yeah, about that being untouchable thing....seems that you're messing around in my niji-chan's dreams, Dabby-baby. And you know, I just can't stand someone messing about with my girls and all. I mean, she's ultra-cute and all, and she's definitely great in bed – which you better knot know what I mean, 'cause i'll rip your ball-sack off and feed it to you if you do – but she just so happens to be in MY bed, and you're kinda disturbing my beauty sleep.”

You tilt your hat up and look him right in the eyes, your draconic ones glowing bright enough to illuminate his glowing yellow eyes.

His brain is working, but he's going to take too long to reach the right conclusion. So you help him along. You do this by the most simple expedient – pulling him further off balance and then getting under him, going into a crouch and using all the power in your left arm to lift him UP. He yelps in a stupidly high pitched voice as you picot on your heal and slam him into the opposite wall, shattering the marble in a a four foot wide radius around his body and making him cough blood.

“And I REALLY need my beauty sleep,” you finish, tugging your hat down and smiling wickedly as she falls to his hands and knees.

“A....aniki?” Yui's incredulous voice is soft and uncertain.

[] In the flesh. Well, kind of. Uh....ANYWAYS! Yeah!
[] Two can play at that game, you know....I'm not some figment.
[] Bow and sweep your niji-chan off her feet and out of the way.
[] Use your pool cue to fling the remains of his kanabo at him and make your point before answering Yui.
[] Oh yeah. But you know....it's not me that Dabby's gotta be afraid of. Not even a little.

[+] Nose boop is proof right?
[+] Dabby, you're gonna be loosing more than your marbles in a second....

You smile and bow, catching your hat as it falls off your head, and planting your pool cue under the heavy part of the kanabo as Daibutsu starts to rise. You step forward and lean in...and rub your nose against Yui-niji-chan's, much to her surprise and delight. You wrap your arm around her waist and sweep her to the side, hurling the kanabo's remnant at the ogre as he hurtles through the air where you and your niji-chan were standing.

His arm reaches out to sweep you with him, but the impact of the massive steel crashes him sideways, and his gauntlet fingertips luff your hair lightly as you set Yui-chan on her feet. You toss the pool cue behind you, and lean agaisnt Yui-chan as she hugs you tightly. If this weren't your dream, that probably would have really fucked you up.

“Oh yeah, I'm certainly me, even here!” Daibutsu finishes his skid across the polished floor, his blood leaving a wide smear. He rises, his face gashed wide open by the sharp edged discs of his weapon. His eyes gleam, and you can feel the rage pounding through his blood.

You turn your attention on him and place your hat back on, letting him get a good look at one glowing eye, the shadow dramatically falling across your face. “You people. You stupid, stupid people.” You pull Yui close and lift the sapphire talons of your left hand. “All you had to do was leave her alone, let her be happy. But you just have to get the last word in, huh?” He rises, his hands clenching, and spark flying off of the black steel and golden jewelry he wears.

“Aniki,” murmurs Yui, worried for you as she was unconcerned about her own safety. Her hands gently grip your shoulder and arm.

“Oh, that's right, you're the kind who think that when you get caught in the wrong, you just have to pay a little fee, suffer a little hardship, just wait it out or torture people to convince you to lift curses, right, Dabby-boy? I bet you were going to try and convince Yui-chan to let me be lenient and let you have kids again.” You smile, a wicked, evil smile that fells good as you give it to him.

He smirks, and pulls lightning ands thunder from the air, the glowing sparks vibrating and humming with the suppressed power. “Since you're actually in the little fuck's dream, I'll just extract the promise from you personally,” he growls.

Leaning back a little you give him a bland look. “Hey, are you stupid or something? Do you have brain damage? It's not ME you have to watch out for. I'm not the one that you pissed off so badly that she almost killed Kuroukami's daughter, and made sure you people won't ever have kids.”

He looks uncertain, and Yui's eyes widen in shock as she turns to you. Her smile and pleasure enrages Kurao Daibutsu. And he draws his arm back to hurl the contained thunder and lightning at you. Yui tenses, ready to jump in front of you as you stand calmly as her side, arm about her waist. He starts to lean forward, only to have all of his momentum stopped dead by the slender arm that comes up from under his elbow. The delicate hand with the jade nails pulls, and he goes with it. And while a four or five foot drop would seem like nothing to an oni....when the entire force of a Stone dragonette's supernatural strength is brought to bear, the results are quite different.

Daibutsu is slammed into the marble floor so hard he creates an impact crater six feet deep as the force of the throw launches Akari into the air. She back-flips and lands on the edge of the crater, her eyes black as jet and her horns glistening spikes almost six inches long. She looks down at him as blood sprays the ceiling from the ruptured arteries and veins she burst apart. His bellows of agony are music to your ears, and Yui-chan actually makes an eeeeee sound, squealing as she hops up and down.

He starts clawing his way out of the pit and when he gets to head height over the edge, one horn a shattered ruin, his white pain smeared by blood, and pieces of jewelry falling from his arm....she kicks him.

For distance, rather than injury.

She punts the 800, 900 pound ogre into the air, where he brushes the pearly clouds, and he slams into the marble some hundred and twenty feet away, skidding along the ground and his nails chipping and breaking while the gauntlet and boot carve furrows into the ground. He finally slides to a halt, a bloody trail thirty feet long glistening in his wake.

He staggers to his feet and places a hand over his necklace....and you grin. The necklace cracks and shatters under his palm, and he looks down at it with his one good eye, horrified.

“Oh....by the way.” You wrap your arms around the back of Yui's neck, making her wriggle and nearly hop with delight, and then likewise around Akari's neck as she joins you to glare imperiously at him with her arms crossed. “Welcome to my nightmare....I think you're gonna like it.”

Thank you for readign and playing. I should get an earlier start next week, the schedule is changing at work slightly.

I hope you've enjoyed seeing a little of Akari unleashed, and are looking forward to a little more.

>>1251820
Cliffhanger? Awwwwwww
Thanks for writing!

>>1251829
Thanks for running, it's always nice to see Akari cut loose, and protecting Yui's smile is always nice.

>>1251829
Thanks for running XS

Thanks for running!

>>1251820
Yay Time to extract so payment up front. Thanks XS was great.

>>1251820
Hilarious. I assume the necklace was his way out?

>>1251829
Thanks for running XS. I'm going tonguess that Ryukusa smirking at the clouds after flexing her hand earlier was her remembering the whole 'call down lightning' thing.

>>1251135
Huh, is one of the things Rie learned awareness that it's possible for her to be defeated?

>>1251874
Yes.

>>1251876
There was one other effect she had access to thatshe hasn't tried yet....and since it is just a dream....

>>1251899
Yes, even killed. And it is something of a burden, to something that never had thoughts of mortality.

>>1251922
The tsunami off in the distance?

>>1251934
The tornado she almost touched off in the playground.

>>1251945
Thank you for ruining, XS. I do hope that we keep him alive long enough to find out who he is probably working with.

>>1251945
I wonder, why not both?

Or all three? A lightning-spitting waterspout sounds like a fun time.

>>1251945
XS, I had a question about the upcoming Yakuza meeting. Is Peta-chan going to attend?

>>1252942
Only if Ryukusa invites her. Someone might be stupid and try and hold her hostage.

>>1253455
This is me by the way. Phoneposted at work. I have a stupidphone, not a smartphone.
