Jewelry, in not quite tasteful amounts, purposefully ostentatious in the traditional Chinese princess fashion. The large hoop earrings of milky blue jade and gold, black tourmaline cylinders depicting dragons, tigers, and leopards, a tighter necklace with gold coins and a toad motif, and bracelets with bats and butterflies with gems along the wings, eyes and ears of the creatures to provide color and sparkle. Not just hairpins: an actual comb and hairpin set, glistening gold and silver dragons with delicate ebony sticks and dark red jade baubles hanging from them.

Yui peeks into the room as you tug on the leather ankle boots, the soft material matching that of the black gloves. She stares for a moment, until you look at her inquisitively. “Yes, Yui-chan?”

“....I forgot....”

You blink. “What did you forget?”

She stares a moment more before answering. “....um, everything.” Your herald slowly slips back out and shuts the door.

You'd call that an unmitigated success.

She pops her head back in as you are walking towards the door, and she keeps her eyes tightly shut. “Akari-chan wants to know how formal you want the meeting with the Yakuza, aniki!” You walk up to the door and lean close, carefully setting your foot along the door so that she doesn't open or close it in shock or by surprise.

“Yuuhi-chan, Kiku-chan, and Fuuta-chan are to be in modern-traditional,” you breathe into her ear, making her hair stand up a little and her cheeks color. “You, Akari, Er Yin, and Kei in business suits. Inau-kun and Shoko-chan in delinquent style. Kiki-hime and myself in very formal outfits, her feminine, me....well, I will think of something.” You finish with a sudden, quick little lick of her ear. Her eye pop open, and she darts back, only your foot against the door keeping her from catching her fingers in it.

So cute!

[] Present yourself as you are to everyone.
[] Sneak a moment with Kiki-hime before leaving.
[] Take a brief stop in the shrine before leaving.
[] Casually stroll in and prepare extra takoyaki for your favorite cat.
[] Go see your sister before you leave.

You follow the dazed Yui-chan into the living room, your jewelery making soft chiming sounds as you do so. Conversations stop and all eyes turn to you as you slip past, inclining your head with a warm smile to each of the beauties you have been given the privilege of knowing and befriending (and in several cases, more than that). You can't help but notice that neither Kiku-chan nor Er Yin are among those present, and you aren't really surprised by the fact that your sister is not present either.

You tip your wife a wink and she shakes her head, as though to clear it rather than out of refusal or disbelief. She believes, all right – you overhear Yui-chan confiding to Akari-chan, “That's why I forgot, you know.” Akari's response is a brilliant rendition of the time worn classic, “Huh?” to which Yui-chan replies with a sagely nod of her head.

The takoyaki is relatively easy to prepare, and one of the glorious things about being a water dragonette of the oceanic variety is the fact that between Wind and Water, you don't get a single drop of sauce or particle of flour on your nice clothing. You stifle a completely inappropriate giggle when you over hear Fuuta-chan commenting to Kei-san, “She's gotten better.”

“Better? Better than what, Versace?!” is the incredulous reply.

Shoko-san is seated at the breakfast nook, and looks absolutely dazed. You turn and smile leaning against the counter and letting the slit drift to the side to bare the length of thigh and calf beneath. “So, are we serving red bean jelly later today for you, Shoko-chan?” She blushes darkly and looks down, an idiotic grin gracing her lips. The lashes of her good eye flutter. “Um....not really....at least, not yet, she's still healing and stuff.” Her sweet, high pitched voice, so incongruous with her appearance, also lacks a very distinctive and ordinarily unavoidable streak of foul language.

You pick up the plate and step back into the living room, where your reappearance once again still conversation and murmured comments. “So that's why Yui-niji-chan never swears....” Shoko colors even more deeply, and you lean over, kissing her on the cheek. “We all very happy for you both, you know, even if the others don't know it yet.” Shoko beams brilliantly, and you walk towards the door, your trailing hand lightly stroking you wife's shoulder in passing, startling her out of drooling.

You kneel and place the Cat's Tongue Special Takoyaki outside the door and slip back inside after taking a quick glance at the grounds and walls. Nothing unusual or difficult, fortunately, and you shut the door behind you, leaning up against it.

“Aniki, I hope you don't plan on wearing that to the meeting with the Yakuza,” Akari murmurs softly, her eyes bright and her expression warm.

“We wouldn't get anything done, because you and Kiki-hime would be mowing down the Yaks when they tried to kidnap me.” The soft laughter and giggles help everyone relax, and you stand up and smile, slipping past the 'twins' as they kneel and sit next to Kiki-respectively. You do pause to run your hand over Yui's horn and she leans into the caress. At least an inch longer, maybe more. The edges aren't as sharp and they're a touch more dull, but they carry a weight of presence much stronger than before. Giving your wife another wink you head back into the hallway, and pause at your sister's door.

It's not really hesitation that makes you pause, but consideration. While your sister's misuse of her Water Eyes and her choices made a lot of trouble for you, she did what she thought would help you best. And in a very real way, it did – despite the threats and dangers, and the entirely unpleasant pain, your meeting with Enma-Oh turned out more than just well. Kyubi-sama's presence helped bring Rie back from her cursed state in a way that may have made her a better....well, person isn't really the correct word. At the same time, it was something that didn't have to happen in the first place.

You tap on the door lightly, and your sister's soft voice asks to you enter.

Slipping inside, you see your sister working on a letter, her graceful calligraphy complex yet elegant as opposed to your own florid yet perfect style. Water dragonette writing is as subtle and complex as their words, but today you're not really here for that sort of conversation. Or maybe you are. You're just not sure.

[] Ask your sister for a reading about the meeting with the Yakuza.
[] See if she has any recommendations for places you should take Er Yin and Kiku.
[] Tell her that you're proud to have her as a sister.
[] Let her start the conversation.
[] Gently ask her how she became your 'older sister'.

Well, I and another are curious, but we shall see.

>>1345445
I think some of us are a bit wary due to how Water readings differ from Void readings.

>>1345462

Oh, I'd be ok with her doing her reading at another time, but just before our date, it seems like tempting fate.

Doing it after the date but before the Yakuza meeting might work, though

>>1345462
She would be doing a standard I Ching divination, not a magical one (no power enforcing the reading).

>>1345483
Oh, nevermind then.

[XXX] Let her start the conversation.
[XXX] Tell her that you're proud to have her as a sister.
[XXX] See if she has any recommendations for places you should take Er Yin and Kiku.

Jinyuu-onee-sama finishes the final touches on the letter she is writing, and you wait quietly, placing your hands behind your back and half-lacing your fingers together. “What are you planning to do today, aka-chan?” she asks as she lightly blots the ink from the very expensive paper.

It seems like a strange way to start a conversation, and for anyone other than a water dragonette it would be, but she's as Clever as you are, and the various situations were often topics at the breakfast table. So it makes perfect sense for her to ask what your personal plans were, as opposed to things she already intuited answers to.

“I decided that Kiki-hime and Akari-niji-chan can deal with everything as well as I could. Maybe better; Akari has always been better at logistics and deployment.”

Her smile is genuine, and she really does care about Akari a lot. “You compliment each other very well; she is the yin to your yang in almost every way, aka-chan.”

“Actually, someone else said that Kiki-hime was....but I think you're more right in this instance. Kiki-chan may be my match in life, but in another life, Akari-niji-chan is my match.” She knows you mean in 'death', but it's rude to remind her aloud, in your opinion, given her distaste for that life. “What do you think of Yui-niji-chan?” that makes her ears twitch, but she seals the envelope, and sets it on the corner of her writing desk. I mean, I know you appreciate her....but how do you feel about her?”

Jinyuu turns to face you and pauses, taken aback by your appearance. She actually blushes faintly and you can't keep the surprise off your face. “Onee-sama, that's naughty!” Your older sister blushes even harder but laughs anyways, and that makes you smile warmly; you know for a fact she's as straight as they come, but her reaction is utterly gratifying.

“You grew up so quickly, so suddenly, aka-chan....I have been told that magic made it happen, and you have always been decorous and eager to show your decorative side....but you are beautiful in a different way now.” It is your turn to blush a little and you look down, your fingers making knots of themselves behind your back in nervous movement. “you've embraced your femininity in a way you couldn't before, and you have a poise that is no longer artful, but artless and natural.”

She rises and floats to you gliding across the room on wind alone. Her hands come to rest on your shoulders, and she looks down at you with a warm, gentle smile. And a faint blush on her cheeks still. “Ryukusa....I am happy for you and Akari. You have both found people who make you happy, happier than I thought you would ever be. I think the world of you both, and Yui-san is a wonderful, vivacious, pure soul, who has come through great hardship to be at your side and keep Akari's heart. Kumatori Kiki is a wonderful girl, and she will make you an excellent wife. I cannot be more happy for you, aka-chan.”

The tears that make your vision swim are happier than many you've shed. “I am proud to have you as my sister, Jinyuu. I would not give you up for anything.” You shake your head as she embraces you gently, and carefully. You return the hug, and sigh softly, warmed by her embrace in a manner that is different than anyone else. She is your sister, regardless of anything and anyone else.

Releasing you from the embrace, she floats back a little. You smile and look – and feel a little – embarrassed. “Now I don't want to ask you the thing I came to ask you.” Jinyuu looks bemused. “I am taking Er Yin and Kiku-chan on a date....I was hoping you had some kind of suggestion aside from the temple district. She hasn't been in Tokyo before, and she's blind, and it can't be any place where children can't go, even if Kiku-chan has proper identification.” Mostly because they would probably irritate her.

The non-plussed look that your announcement of a date causes her to make is going in your memory bank of “expressions you inflicted on people who should have known better”. She recovers quickly, and looks thoughtful. “Well, there is a festival in Shibuya today, a street fair. I think it would be a lovely opportunity for both Er Yin and Kiku to see the more lively side of Tokyo. It is near Bunkamura Dori, as well....”

[] So that's where Kiki-hime's play is, then?
[] Play along nicely, Ryukusa.

[XXX] Play along nicely, Ryukusa.
[XX] Isn't she worried you might get mobbed by tourists with cameras?
[X] ….onee-chan, Er Yin can't see anything.

“Bunkamura? That might be an idea. There's a couple of places in there that she would really enjoy. The museums might be very interesting, considering she's been away fro so long....” You refrain from asking if there are any plays or theater shows going on; it's fairly obvious she was told to suggest that. It had to have been Kiki-hime; Akari would have been much more subtle and Jinyuu would have used that same subtlety. “Though Er Yin really isn't going to be seeing much of anything....”

“Aka-chan!” Jinyuu-onee-sama's shock isn't feigned, and you stick your tongue out at her. That makes her realize she's been had and she laughs. “You are still a wicked girl, aka-chan, no matter how old you are.”

“Child at heart, that's me!” you agree readily. “I think you actually just want to see me on the news after the camera wielding mob stampedes through Shibuya and into Shinjuku, where they will get eaten alive by the Harajuku girls.”

“Aka-chan, you're one of those girls, aren't you?”

“How do you think I know the tourists would get eaten alive? Ritual cannibalism is how we reproduce, don't you know. 'S why there are so many Gothic Lolita. Too many chemicals, rotting their brains and all.” Jinyuu laughs softly and lays her hand upon your shoulder; you take it and lightly kiss her knuckles, and she smiles indulgently. Too bad, but you got her at least once. “Well, at the very least, I can take her to Love Hotel Hill. That should really excite her.”

Jinyuu blinks several times, and you look at her innocently enough. “Really, onee-san? You really haven't been paying attention if you haven't realized what kind of woman Er Yin is in the bedroom. Kiku-chan actually calls her 'Master', for hell's sake.” Your sister does blush at that, and you add another point to your tally that you don't actually keep track of.

She recovers quickly and bows, which you return solemnly. Well, mostly solemnly, your tail is lashing too much for that. “Be well, my baby sister.”

>>1345638
At this rate, if we're lucky we might get to the beginning of the date, but on the other hand we got to have a nice conversation with our sister.

Anyone else curious about who she'd be sending a letter to?

Rising onto the toes of your boots and using your tail to counterbalance, you give your big sister a kiss on the cheek and she smiles, eyes closing. “Thank you, Jinyuu-onee-sama.” You pirouette and slip out the door, before sticking your head back in. “Really naughty, onee-san!” you remind her and her soft gasp and blush is enough to make you scram before she grounds you.

Giving yourself an all over shake, you take a few deep, cleansing breaths, and then walk down the hall and around the corner to the shrine. Slipping inside, you find it occupied by the still wounded Inau-kun, who is not asleep, though she is resting quietly. You light some incense, waving it in the air to put out the flames so as not to offend any spirits, and place them in the holders. Inau-kun blinks sleepily and smiles at you, not surprised in the least by your outfit.

Save the teasing for last, after we improve her condition a bit, and to let her stew in her blushing state.

Too sleepy, thanks for running this amazing quest XS

[XX] Say your prayers, then see how she is doing.
[XXX] Help her up and have her drink the rest of her remedy, which she's clearly ignoring.
[X] See if you can give her body a boost in healing – you've been healed enough yourself to have a clue!
[+] Cheer her up.
[+] Maybe with some very gentle and loving teasing without a BP spike.

With a wink of acknowledgement, you move to kneel before the shrine's centerpiece and close your eyes. The variety or prayers is far more complicated than the actual volume of them, and it takes more time to figure out who to pray to first, second, third, and tenth than it does to actually say the prayers. Offending the kami (or any kami, for that matter) before a date while your wife is going out in public just doesn't strike you as a wise thing to do, even by accident.

The finishing touch is laying out some actual money – not just coins but actual paper money – in the offering plate. Money that you worked to ear, not collected via the wealth and well being of the country. It may not seem like much, but the act and the meaning behind it matters: giving back to Japan the prosperity it grants you. It won't completely fix the issues, but it will help in many tiny ways all across Japan. You're not the first to do so either, though it's mostly coins in small amounts; the only other paper money would have to have come from Jinyuu-onee-sama.

That finished you move to where Inau-kun is laying with her eyes half-closed. “....”

“Sorry, I didn't catch that.”

“You're beautiful,” she murmurs softly. That prompts a smile. Her bones are knitting, but not as fast as you would like, and undoubtedly a lot less fast than Shoko would like. Or deserves for that matter.

“Thank you. You're not taking your medicine.” She makes a face. “Oh, believe me, I know just how they all taste, every single kind and one. But you need it.” You help her up, careful of her ribs, and she sighs. You take the cup, and hold the back of her head to help her tilt her head to drink it more quickly and easily. “Believe me, if you think this is bad, I could make Yui-niji-chan come in and help you get better much faster, but I think Shoko wants your kisses first.”

She chokes, but manages not to spray the medicine everywhere. You cradle the cup in your lap as she coughs, her face turning red. Her blood pressure doesn't spike though, so that's okay. “....what is that supposed to mean?”

“Well, it doesn't mean anything as much as it is a method that Yui-chan uses to heal people in desperate need, very quickly. Apparently it's an aspect of her magic concerning alcohol and kissing.” Your huntress glances at the cup of medicinal and herbs. “It works incredibly well,” you comment mildly, “but yeah, it is kissing and alcohol, so there is that.”

“Shoko'd get jealous,” she murmurs with a smile and takes the cup from you so she can drain it.

“Maybe, but you'd be able to enjoy her company more personally rather than recuper....hey, why are you in here, anyways?”

She glances at the bas-relief on the wall before you. “Demigods are prone to spiritual corruption when they heal. You're kind of an exception to the rule, being immortal.”

the idea makes you frown. “I wonder if that's how Kushinada got so messed up.”

Inau-kun nods mildly. “It wouldn't surprise me, especially carrying a sword like that. Yui-san told me about it. Have you been feeding her power, Ryukusa-sama?”

“Mnh. Not directly, but indirectly still counts for her. Not so much Akari-chan. It won't be long before she realizes she's grown another three inches. She'll catch up to Shoko-chan, if I'm not careful.” You smile and take the cup away from her....and stare into it for a moment. Pulling some of the most potent alcohol you have stashed away in Nowhere out, you pour the cup full, swirl it to mix the remaining herbals in, and then drink it.

But without swallowing.

Inau-kun turns to say something to you, and you grab her and kiss her, forcefully and deeply, her eyes wide and shocked. Even more so when you force the potent liquor into her mouth....along with a huge dose of your own shen, carried by the distilled spirits to her body. She can't help but swallow; you won't let her do anything else. She tastes warm and spicy, and yet there is an earthiness to her that dragonettes don't have. You finish the kiss in a loving manner and then sit back, breathing hard and a little dizzied by the power you gave her.

The young woman is breathing hard, her eyes wide and shocked, and her cheeks flushed....and then her hand goes to her side. Startled by what she feels – or perhaps doesn't feel – both hand touch her taped ribs. “....what....how did you....?”

“I remember what others do to heal me, and use it on other people. I don't know if I can do it repetitively, but it seems like it.” You lay your hands on her side. “Your Chi is still sluggish, but if you drink my sister's medicinals, you'll be fine in a day or so, instead of a week or two.” rising, you take stock of yourself. Nothing too terribly draining, but not something you'd want to try often or without being wholly healed yourself. “Get better. We miss you a lot.”

She nods, looking up at you with awestruck eyes. You smile, leaning down to kiss her lips lightly. “I mean it,” you murmur, and she blushes and looks down, rubbing her nose though she's not bleeding.

You slip out of the shrine and glance at Er Yin's room. Her door is positively radiating heat.

[] Okaaaay, not quite ready for that just yet!
[] Maybe it is time to sneak a little but of Kiki-hime's attention.
[] Knock and make sure they are (Er Yin is, really) okay.
[] Slip inside silently; just to be sure.
[] Tap on the door and let them know that they're saving you a bundle on car – er, heating bills.

Sounds like they can entertain themselves for a little.

I like this approach

I'm half-expecting them to be crafting a piece of sub equipment for Kiku. One that can handle the heat.

[X] Tap on the door and let them know that they're saving you a bundle on car – er, heating bills.

You're sensitive to temperature changes, mostly because they move the air around so much, so you know it's not a small amount of heat that's being produced inside that room. Stepping over to the door, you lightly tap on it. The wash of heat from under the door increases rather than being suppressed at all. “Kiki-hime was wondering if she could borrow her little sister to cook nabemono with, sensei!” you call discretely – in other words, by blocking the sound (and heat) away from the rest of the hallway.

The sound of Kiku stomping is a lot more like a large cat padding his way across the carpet, and when she flings the door wide, you look down at her calmly. Her eyes are pools of molten gold and her hair isn't streaming straight up – it's floating around her head like a halo, because she's radiating heat in all directions, instead of just heating up the air around her. You can see the glow of the fires in her throat and cheeks, and she glares at you with the force of nine burning suns.

The reason is obvious enough. She had been dressed boyishly before – kei style really, more androgynous than masculine – but right now she's dressed in tight boyish shorts, a simple tank top, cotton socks, and sneakers. Only the barest of curve shows that she is in fact a girl, and her soft, beautiful face is delicately feminine. With her hair this short though, even that is somewhat diminished. She's clearly upset about not only being dressed as a boy, but as a very young one at that.

So the only reasonable thing to do is lean down, and whisper demurely, “Do you think I'm hot enough to fit in?”

It takes a moment for the soft words to filter through the volcanic eruption of her angered consciousness, but it does – finally – as you stand up and cross your arms under your breasts. The fires die instantly and she stares at you like she's never seen you before. “....uahh.....”

You keep your voice gentle and soft. “I can leave, if you want.” She glances inside and then at you, and then steps out of your way, staring still.

“Thank you, Kiku-chan,” you murmur softly, your tail caressing her ankle as she watches you walk in with the grace you earned over two hundred of experience.

And you stop dead and stare when you see Er Yin's own outfit.

>To Be Continued....

Thank you for reading and playing. We will continue mid-week next week, hopefully in a more timely manner.

Sorry for the length of posts but anon was greedy today, and hopefully got what they wanted.

>>1346007
Also, the QM may have passed out for a short while there - I lost about half of an hour.

>>1346007

Thanks for running!

Damn, you really want to tease us with Er Yin's outfit.

Will you run The Raiders tomorrow?

>>1346021

Damn. Don't force it if it's causing you troubles, XS. Hope you're feeling better now.

>>1346007
Thanks for running! Take care!

I'm fine, just breathing too shallowly. Time for tea, then bed so about 15 minutes for questions.

>>1346037
Wait, that's wrong - Sunday 11:00 PM PST. Derp. Really need that tea.

>>1346023
I have to find the appropriate picture. I know what I want, and I have it. I just don't have it named.

>>1346007
Thanks for running XS

Thanks for writing
