The second most important person in the room is Taisho Ryoga, Kumatori Hojo's right hand man and confidant. Who also happens to be a half-demon, born of a union between demon and human. His slick looking black skin and glowing red eyes and small horns are very impressive. He looks like he's in his mid-twenties which puts him anywhere from fifteen to one-hundred-and-thirty, but you suspect fifties or sixties – he's not powerful enough to be entirely on his own, but smart enough to have insinuated himself into the next best thing. That makes him smart and dangerous. The fact that he's hidden his true nature from his employer – who was married to an actual Dragon at one time – makes him very talented. If he hadn't stepped in on you while you were using your talents for discernment, you wouldn't have thought him a demon-born at all.

He seems to think you won't tell anyone for some reason, which is a good enough reason not to tell anyone just yet.

The third person, who technically should be the most important person, is Kumatori Kiki, daughter of Kumatori Hojo, heiress and iconic rich girl. She's beautiful, rich, talented, admired, and engaged. Your job, as part of the Ryo Clan, is to safeguard and protect her until her wedding night. Of course, you've hated each others guts ever since kindergarten, through grade school, and most of the way through Celestial High before you were summarily pulled out of school by Oba-chan, the leader of Clan Ryo. You trained and worked for months, and naturally, your first real job is protecting Kiki-san. As a Wood dragonette, her powers are innately attuned to yours, and a fight between you would be evenly matched if she had any real training herself (which you seriously doubt s the case, pampered little bitch).

The fact that your presence near her will increase her fertility by 300% or more is just incidental, of course.

Oh, the head of the Hojo Technical Group, Kumatori Hojo himself, Kiki's father, is also in the room, but he's not important.

He's a big fat man sitting behind his polished mahogany desk, smoking an expensive cigar, dressed in white and wearing enough jewelery to be the envy of any dragon-child of the West. His sunglasses gleam as he turns his chair towards you; the fact that he's had the building lights set up for that effect is somewhat amusing. Cheesy, but amusing. Kiki-san is standing next to him, head down, demure and pretty; her hair is fuchsia at the top fading to near-white at the waist length ends, and she is wrapped in a beautiful silk sakura themed kimono, her hips and breasts accentuated, rather than hidden by the normally androgyny-inducing outfit.

“I must say, I was very impressed! Those are some of the most well trained security in Japan, and I even brought in specialists from China and Hokkaido! What was it, twenty seconds?”

“Fifteen and three-fifths seconds, Kumatori-sama,” pipes up the mysterious Taisho Ryoga.

“And that's only because you talked to them I bet.”

You bow politely, a quick acknowledgment. “Hai, Kumatori-sama.” You didn't even muss your perfectly tailored and fitted pants-suit or get one lock of your perfectly knotted and pinned hair out of place. The Western styling of the office makes your horns itch – the feng shui is totally fucked up in this place, something you're especially sensitive to given it's entirely your kind of elemental nature that creates feng shui.

“Well, you're definitely the dragon-girl to protect my daughter! You know each other from school, right?”

“Hai, oto-san. We went to school together.” Kiki's submissive tone is totally out of character for how you remember her at school, the spoiled, imperious, demanding brat whose voice could travel three octaves in seconds when talking to adults after demanding concessions from other children. “Ryuu-san was very athletic even then.” Her blue eyes lift and gaze into your deep sapphire ones, some emotion hidden within before the fall to the floor once more.

“Well, then I am glad you are here, Ryuu-san – may I call you Ryukusa?”

[] Of course, Kumatori-sama.
[] Please keep this professional, Kumatori-sama; my aunt would be scandalized!

“Of course Kumatori-sama. Even if you had not engaged the services of Ryo-gozoku, I would be pleased to be called so.”

Kiki stares at you like you just lost your mind, and Taisho-san gives a slight half smile, as though he is aware that you would like nothing more than to sit on the desk, steal the man's cigar, and blow smoke rings at Kiki.

Which sounds like a really great idea, except for that damn fortune your sister gave you. Be good, be proper, be considerate, don't fuck it up or everything you personally fear will eat you alive. That sort of thing. Except, you know, real.

He guffaws – which is a really weird, disturbing sort of thing coming from any Japanese throat – and slaps his knee. “Damn girl, you really are the type! Well, all you need to do is keep my daughter safe until her wedding in four months, and then you're good to go!” Reciting the Heart Sutra in your head helps keep your calm, because FOUR FUCKIN' MONTHS? YOU'D KILL THAT SNAKE-BITCH IF SHE COULDN'T WIPE THE – calm, calm, good dragonette. Do not scare the client. Speaking of: he stands up and places both hands on his desk, and looks you in the eyes.

“My wife – may she serve the Heavenly Mandate Forever – was a very powerful dragon. I can see your true nature, just as I can see my daughter's and I know how dangerous the people who want her are. Do you truly think you can protect my daughter from them?” Gone is the silly Westernized zaibatsu head. This is a serious man, who wants his daughter protected. But you can see, even without the Water Eyes, that this is a man whose concern for his daughter is secondary to continuing to hold onto his power and prestige. If it were inconvenient, he would cut off his right hand.

Interestingly, he does not see Taisho Ryoga's true nature. Nor, for that matter, does Kiki. You wouldn't know it, if he hadn't walked in on you while you were using the Water Eyes, that peculiar power that somehow relates to your clever and dangerous nature.

Kiki-san's head remains bowed, but you can see her glancing surreptitiously between you and her father; Taisho-san's dark eyes are on you, as Kumatori-sama's serious gaze falls on you.

[] The Hojo Group can count on Clan Ryo at all times, Kumatori-sama.

It's the most accurate one. Promising our life before hers is meaningless if we both die anyway.

>>32732264
>We may strongly dislike Oba-san, this guy AND Kiki, but damn if we don't take work seriously, and appearing professional even more seriously.
Its more an awareness that if we went againts oba-san with our current power we'd be crushed. Ergo, the logical move is to be a good little girl and increase our personal power and subordinates until the previous statement is no longer true.

>FUCK NO!
>Gods, True Dragons, Great Kami, Devils.
Previous rank had demons and youkai in it. Does the Japanese mythology have a distinction between devils and demons? Or is meant in that japanese demons are youkai, while demons and demons hail from western mythology? If so, would Beelzebub count as a devil?

This could be useful to know to tell the fuckers apart and know when to act lower than dirt to up the chances of survival.

>>32732443
>while demons and demons hail from western mythology?
If so, there should be angels and archangels, so probably not.

>>32732443
Akuma (devils) are servants of the heavenly order, while demons are disruptive agents against it - demons are a form of youkai, essentially, while akuma have a sepcific (evil) role.

[X] I am the perfect bodyguard, and don't let anyone let you think otherwise....bakayaro.

No, really, this is simple office politics for Yakuza of any stripe, dragon, demon, oni, whatever. You politely let the boss intimidate you and let it all roll of your back like spring rain.

“”Kumatori-sama.” You gaze back with utter equanimity, and he stands up slowly, looking at you strangely. “I am shinobi. Oba-chan set me this task for you, and I will die before allowing harm to come to Kumatori Kiki. None may harm her save at my will, and my will is like water, drowning all who set foot upon the calm lake. Clay Ryo may be relied upon by the Hojo Group.” You look into his human eyes, protected though they may be by the shades he is wearing, inside, with tinted windows.

Kiki is staring at you like you've turned into a True Dragon while she wasn't looking, and the faint worry on Taisho-san's face is gratifying.

You are almost tempted to ask how you can prove yourself further....but he interrupts.

“Good. Tell Ryoga what you need, and he'll take care of it; you can stay here in the penthouse with Kiki, on level forty-five.” Kiki twitches, obviously wanting to protest, but she remains quiet. “Kiki's marriage with Kaga Ushino is in four months, and I am relying on you, Ryukusa.” He bows slightly, and you return the bow twice as deep, and remain where you are as he leaves the room – mostly because Kiki and Taisho-san remain as they are.

Japane has more often a duality of "nice&helpful" Kami and "cruel&malicious" Kami. There is Enma-O who is comparable to Lucifer in the sense that he is Lord of the Underworld, but the christian mythology is not really easily adaptable in the more "shamanistic" japanese mythology.

Kaga Ushino – son of Kaga Kunito, head of the Kaga Clan; they are technically rivals to Clan Ryo, but an alliance made through the Hojo Group rather than attempting to do so directly would benefit all three clans quite nicely. They have less ties to the spirit-world than Clan Ryo, but they have many more ties to the supernatural world; its entirely possible the 'Experts from Hokkaido' were Kaga plants to test your skills.

And apparently he needs help with his morning wood, because Kiki's is too polished for him.

As the door shuts behind you, Kiki's head comes up, her eyes bright and angry. Taisho Ryoga steps forward and bows, interrupting what looks like was building up to an absolutely hysterical tantrum. “Ryuu Ryukusa. I am honored to make your acquaintance.” It's obvious he knows you, and not just from Kiki-san.

Calling him out now does two things; it tells Kiki that she's in more danger than she thinks, and it causes Ryoga to rethink any immediate plans he has for us.

Unimportant. He's clearly Hojo's 'éminence grise', he won't work against his own interests. If he keeps his nature secret from his employers, that gives us bargaining power if we ever need something of him. which we don't right now.

>Kiki is the childhood friend
Not sure how I feel about that one. Could have been revealed earlier, of left for another character. Just feels tacked-on as it is now.

>>32732674
Revealing that we know it does not reduce its value as a bargaining chip, anon.

>>32732676
We already knew that she and Ryukusa had gone to school together though. The length of acquaintance was perhaps not given, but it's hardly tacked on. That's ignoring the fact that 'friend' seems quite the misrepresentation of their relationship.

It's been established since thread 1 that we hate her guts and she hates ours.

>>32732694
It does when the bargaining chip only has value so long as the other main actors (Kiki and her dad) don't know that it even exists.
And telling him that we know what he is, RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE PERSON IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A SECRET FROM, kind of devalues the chip.

“Taisho Ryoga. You know me, but I don't think Kumatori-san mentioned me in anything but the least flattering terms.” You lock gazes with him, and he smiles, inclining his head slightly.

“Hey, I'm right here you know!”

“What is your part in this? Certainly more than simply standing by and watching.” You can hear Kiki's teeth grinding. You wonder if their power prevents that, idly, though most of your attention is on the demon-born man before you.

“You are right, Ryuu-san. I am taking advantage of my employer's generosity and doing my best to ensure that everything that can possibly be done to further the Hojo Technical Group Zaibatsu is as strong and healthy as his daughter is.” Though Taisho-san doesn't look away, glance, or even move, projecting nothing out of the ordinary at all, Kiki flinches, and places her right hand over the crook of her elbow, her cheeks burning and her eyes downcast. It would be easy to suspect him, but he's also a too-convenient scapegoat. Easy to blame lightning on oni and tsunamis on dragons – no different for demons, you'd suspect.

“All that aside, Ryuu-san, I am here to assist you in every way possible.” He steps forward and sets a metal key-card, an elevator turn-key, a folded map, and a list of numbers and names on the corner of the desk closest to you. Stepping over to pick it up, you note his name at the top of the list. It's obviously an emergency numbers list, with the head of security, the drivers, Kumatori-sama's secretary, and other people you might need to contact or identify. A glance at the map tells you it's the basic building outline – fire escapes, emergency exits, elevators, what floors are supposedly what (that's fuckin' believable, sure).

“The key will allow you access to all floors in the elevator, even those normally restricted.” Uh huh. That's not a fuckin' set up. “The key-card will access all areas not code-secured, including the roof access and parking garages.” You'd bet it accesses several secure locations too. Because then he couldn't pull crap and blame you. Poor bastard has no fuckin' idea what he's dealing with – you're a Water dragonette, not some air-headed Fire-bitch, block-headed Wood dragon-born (you're not going to call Kiki-san that, it's old, you have much better stuff!), empty headed Void-chick, or thick-skulled Stoner! “If something should happen to oujo-sama, please call me at once.” Sure, then he can conveniently forget to tell anyone while he pulls some sort of shit.

Kiki looks like she's about to explode; her face is literally red. It's probably time to finish this up.

“Domo arigatou gozimasu, Taisho-san. You are very kind to a small dragon; I look forward to your assistance.” No reason not to lay it on nice and smooth. Kumatori-sama trusts him with the knowledge of his half-dragon daughter, so even if either of them know he's half-demon, there's no reason to hide the fact that you're a half-dragon from the microphones and cameras. You're presuming, but better safe than sorry. Technically you could check for them but it's considered bad form to sweep the client's office for bugs when it's not your job. Of course, Kiki's rooms are fair game.

If only you didn't have to actually be worried now. Because with Taisho-san present, things are WAY too fuckin' dangerous to stay here any longer than you absolutely have to.

You bow to him, and he bows back, slightly more deep than necessary – abasing himself slightly. Acknowledging you have a measure of power over him. He's no fool, and that makes him ten times as dangerous as he already was. He leaves quietly and you're alone with Kumatori Kiki. True, the doors and front walls are glass, but it's sound (and probably bullet) proof. Which is probably a VERY good thing.

You turn towards Kiki, and grin, tilting your head and arms crossed. “Hiya!”

“I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING HERE?! ARE YOU INSANE?!” It takes the better part of ten minutes before she stops shouting long enough to take a breath, and your ears are ringing. “Didn't they have anyone more competent than you who could do this job?!”

“Oh, a real question with an actual answer! I'm privileged!” Took her long enough to get to the actual point.

“What?! What are you talking about, Ryukua-san?”

You wink at her....

Sounding sarcastic and letting believe that you know he's up to something but powerless to do something about it is probably better than playing the airhead, considering he's a demon.

If it was Hojo, then, yeah, it would have been "please take good care of me" all the way!

“Of course there's no one more competent than me. No one can do for you the things I can do for you, babe.”

“B....B....BABE!?” She's yelling so loudly that anything that could possibly be overheard, such as you checking the blotter, taking all but five staples out of the stapler, making two- and three-link paper-clip chains, Checking all the pen nibs, and studying Kumatori-sama's chop can't possibly be overheard. When she starts to repeat herself you walk up to her and touch her nose with your fingertip.

“That's right, it's all me. You would not BELIEVE the things I can do for you.” Like getting her pregnant, for one.

The sudden silence is both gratifying and shocking, and she stares at you, utterly bewildered. “Yeah, that works on babies too. It's a chi trick.” Her eyes blaze and she starts to take a breath. “I said 'babies too' you know! Give me a break, Kiki-san. Besides, we have to get out of here. Let's debug your suite and take a look at what you got in the way of a wardrobe. Because, honestly, sakura motif? Pink hair? Gradients? It all blends so much! You're losing a real opportunity here!”

Surprisingly, she's latched on to the single most important thing you said. Maybe all her growth wasn't restricted to her chest after all. (Her hips aren't too bad – she doesn't suffer from so much junk-in-the-trunk a doped up gang-banger would admire it, luckily!) “I can't just leave, I have to....to pack, and get ready, and....and....”

“It's really not safe for you here. Or anywhere, but less safe here than you think.” She unconsciously places her right hand over her inner elbow, which does a lovely job of emphasizing the pillow her chest makes of the kimono she's wearing. She sees where your eyes are roaming and puts her hand down immediately, cheeks flush with anger. “Fine, you're the one in charge. But we have to be quick. The longer we stay, the more likely something bad will happen.”

She hesitates, and looks down at the thick carpeting. “....do you mean that, Ryukusa-san?”

You simply look at her, and she lifts her head to see your eyes, and recoils at what she sees there. “H....hai.” Turning, you make your way to the doors, and sweep the office, checking the secretary again (who looks very young and awfully pretty and very bored to be an office lady), before moving out into the hallway.

Kiki-oujo-chan dutifully follows, her life dealing with security very obvious. You're impressed by the guards and normal security ignoring both you and her, as though you're just two office people wandering through. Whatever else he may be, Taisho-san is very thorough and efficient in his work. Kiki even steps to the side and lets you stand in front of the elevator; you noticed on the way up they open from one side and have mirrors, allowing someone outside to look inside the elevator from safety while keeping the people inside from seeing the entire hallway.

Yeah, you're that fuckin' good.

Allowing Kiki to precede you into the elevator, you insert the key (hehehe) and turn it, allowing the eight extra buttons to light up, including the top floor and an extra basement level. Yep, that bastard's gonna fuckin' frame you for something all right. Too bad you'll be long gone and out of harm's way long before then, if you can get your baggage moving.

>>32733327
Maybe now would be a good time to call up Akari and have her prep a secure vehicle from our motor pool; we'll have to assume that all Hojo company vehicles have been compromised.

>(This is your competence exemplar. You really are THIS GOOD!)

Speaking of which, the hallway to her penthouse suites on the forty-fifth floor – which she was clearly pissed about having to stay in, from her reaction to her father's announcement, is short and would be a nightmare to try and hold against any spirit-folk without destroying the place. The door is quite solid, has a peep-hole (oh yes, good, that's a lovely way to die, shot through the eye!) and a camera in the corner (fuckin' brilliant, let's WATCH someone die from a DIFFERENT FUCKING FLOOR!) as well as an intercom (with its own separate camera in plain view; what idiot designed this setup, anyways?).

You wave the magnetic key in front of the lock (you know twelve people in your clan including yourself that this lock alone would stop for half a second), and step inside the living room. The huge, wide open living room with huge glass windows – unless they count as walls – covering more than two thirds of the building. The kitchen is clear, the counter is designed so you can see the whole floorspace (first thing they did right), but the bathroom and there are two bedrooms each down their own hall (WHY, GODS, WHY?!). You slip through each room silently, your ward standing politely beside the wall outside the door as you do so.

Freaky, she's treating you seriously.

As you pass the bathroom – good gods, its bigger than the room you shared with Akari and Yui! – you spot just what you need, and you quickly collect them all. As you enter the living room, wondering exactly who the second bedroom (which looked more like Hinata's shrine than a bedroom) belongs to, you call out, “Come on in princess!”

Ryukusa is clever and dangerous - his chop is his personal seal, his blotter may have appointment and notes, and his pens...uhh, got me on that one.

But she is hyperactive.

“Don't call me that! It's Kumatori-san or oujo-sama only from now on!” Back in her home territory, her attitude comes back instantly. She enters, leaving her shoes as far away as possible from yours on the entry-way floor, and pauses when she sees what you are doing. “Why are you putting all those candles in the living room? Do you have any idea how expensive those are?! And you can't mean to light all of them at once, it will smell HORRID!”

“Give me your phone and anything else you like a whole lot that has batteries.” “What?!” “Now, Kiki-chan.” She angrily pulls her phone out of her pocket and takes her watch off. You quickly check both, but nothing unusual in either. Turning off her phone and pocketing both, you then turn your phone off as well. “Ryukuso-” You glance at her calmly, really having expected better insults than that from her, and her cheeks color. “Ryuu-san, what are you DOING?!”

You stand and hold up your hands, and close your eyes. Surprisingly she shuts up. There is some mercy in the universe after all. Then you do your Party Trick.

Every light in the house, every smoke alarm, every piece of electronic equipment that isn't on you, shorts out. That also includes the eight listening devices, the three cameras, the tracking devices (four of them!) in her various pieces of clothing in her closet, and those one her person (one on her earring, one in her brassier, you think, and one INSIDE her!). Learning to control that one cost Clan Ryo six televisions, eight radios, more phones than you can shake a sword at, and several visits from the power company.

You toss the key card on the table – it HAD devices in it aside from the magnetic chips, and those are also now toast – and you'll get rid of the elevator key as soon as possible. You have maybe about fifteen minutes before the power comes back, and with it the cameras and microphones that are wired in. The self powered devices are dead for good, including the key card (Fuck you, Taisho!). You quickly text Akari-niji-chan for a trustworthy car in ten minutes, and get a two word reply, and then shut off your own phone as well.

Kiki's starting to tense up and about to explode....

Whoever keeps archiving these things early is incredibly incompetent. The threads don't share any single tag besides "collective game", meaning you need to search the archive multiple times find all the threads.

It was mainly the first three. I've started pre-archiving them and using the same set of tags.

>>32733617
There's a list of previous threads in the paste bin.

You're supposed to have a specific quest name tag as well as the Collective Game tag as the minimum.

Could you not at least have kept the dragongirls tag? It's not used by any other thread in the archive.

“This is how it is, oujo-sama.” That makes her blink. “My power over Water has shorted every listening device, cameras....are you an exhibitionist? I sure hope so.”

“Wh....wha....”

“Nevermind. Yes, cameras. And also the tracking devices in your clothing, and in your....your key cards and jewelry. But the hard wired things will come on once they reset the breakers, but all the tracking devices still won't work. So we have to GO. Leave, quickly. Because the worst thing that can happen is us staying here.”

“They've been....really watching me?” Her voice is small, and fearful, and her eyes are wide. It doesn't take a genus to see how badly shaken she is. Actually, you're not sure if you are a genius or not. But that doesn't matter now!

“So, now you're going to pack exactly one small overnight bag, and we're going somewhere safe.” A secondary safe house first, then you'll take her to the real safe house after dealing with the inevitable corporate ninjas, paparazzi, stalkers, and probably Anonimous that seem to come out of the woodwork every time something like this happens.

A quick trip to the kitchen supplies you with a large ziplock storage bag; this is taken into the bathroom, and you collect....HOLY CRAP, HOW MUCH HAIR PRODUCT DOES ANY ONE PERSON NEED??? Deep breaths, cleansing breaths....you collect the absolute essentials of a girl's needs (You clap your hands twice: “Thank you Kami, for not cursing us with human fertility cycles!”) and slip into the bedroom. The huge, inordinately pink and white and wood decorated bedroom with an-orgy sized bed with as many stuffed animals on it as you have cousins. Kiki near the dimly lit closet, the tinted window providing barely enough illumination for your inhuman eyes to see by.

She has a dozen full outfits arranged and is clearly trying to decide between them.

“Small. Overnight. Bag. You can come back later or buy new ones. We have to go.”

“But....I really....Ryukusa-san....”

“I can always redesign your outfits....” you suggest, placing your hand on the hilt of your wakizashi.

“You WOULDN'T!”

[] Try me, bitch.

Shoot a message to Kumatori-sama, a quick explanation that there was an unauthorized tracking device we found on Kiki, we disabled it, and since this location has been compromised, we are moving to a secure location, and we will contact him once we arrive.

Get him to keep his corporate ninjas cleaning house instead of coming after us, heading off any chance of Taisho saying that we're kidnapping Kiki.

“No, really, I'm awfully good. I don't have a professional.”

Her expression looks a little less alarmed and she studies you with renewed interest.

“Really, Ryukusa-san?” She steps closer and studies your outfit with renewed interest.

BA-DUMP.

The thudding impact on the inside of your chest isn't your heart – your Pearl, hidden under your breastbone, responds to that attentive, inquiring gaze with a visceral reaction that you've never felt before in your life. Not even when you first realized that you liked lilies has anyone simply looking at you given you that....that potent a reaction.

She steps closer and you clear your head, pushing your wakizashi sheath open with an audible ~click~. “On the other hand, right now you are literally betting your life on the fact that I won't cut my way through your wardrobe to make you select something quick and easy.”

Her eyes get steely and she rises to her full five-foot-three -inches. She almost looks intimidating. “You wouldn't DARE, Ryukusa-san!” That's....actually kind of a hot look for her.

A high pitched voice wafts from the next room as you give Kumatori-san your most vicious grin. “Nee-chan, have you seen my tamagushi? I thought I left it on the altar. Why are the lights out?” Kumatori-san looks towards the door, as do you, and a four-foot-nothing made out of clouds and red ribbons walks....no, ~prances~ out of the hallway. She's wearing white tabi but is only walking on her toes; she doesn't really seem to be bending her knees, making the walk into a sort of skipping motion. Dressed in a massive collection of white robes with red trim, you can see her head and almost nothing else. Even her sleeves are so large they obscure her hands entirely, leaving only tiny fingertips visible.

Her heart shaped face is taken up by a huge pair of eyes made from molten gold, eyes with slit pupils, and she sports a shock of red hair so bright it looks more like paint than hair. Four long but tiny braids extend from the back and a pair of thick, once-branched horns of copper extend from her head. Her leggings and sleeves even have red pompoms on them - a miko's ceremonial dress. She freezes, and slowly turns towards you, her golden eyes stern and wide, as if sensing the natural enemy of all dignity and decorum, despite your outfit and silence.

[XXXXXXXXXX] WHY CAN'T I HOLD ALL THIS CUTE!?

For a moment you think you must be hallucinating. No girl could possibly be this cute. You inhale deeply and taste tha air.

Huh, Kiki-san is a virgin after all. She certainly talks th – wait! That's a loli, not a shota! You can smell purity and preciousness off her! You must take home!

You and the Fire dragonette stare at each other for a long moment, Kiki looking between you and her sister. You slowly step to the side, then another step, slowly circumnavigating yourself closer. The Fire dragonette watches you, her eyes unblinking and huge, her slightly disapproving expression not changing in the least. She lifts one sleeve, and covers her cupid bow lips. Her tail is a delicate, slender thing with a line of fiery red fur along the spinal line, and a flat leaf-like paddle of copper and red and gold at the tip.

You stand side by side, looking at each other sidelong for a silent minute.

YOU POUNCE!

She squeals as you give her a huge hug from behind while giggling madly; she squirms and struggles, her hair exploding like mock flames, as you cuddle her. Finally she slips free/you let her go, feeling totally vindicated and utterly thrilled. You want one of your own now! Totally CUTE! “Can I have one, oujo-sama?!” Oh....pearls touching! How COOL! You could make one of your very own with Kiki!!!

>>32734202
“What is THAT?!” demands the little miko-costumed dragonette of her sister, pointing at you.

Kiki, who can't even pretend to disapprove of your actions since she's smiling so broadly, Bows deeply. “Gomennasai, onee-sama. That is Ryuu Ryukusa, my body guard. Ryukusa-san, this is Kumatori Kiku, my sister.”

“Shinobi, actu-ONEE-SAMA?” You stare at the diminutive girl, who glowers at you with golden eyes so soft and liquid you could just die, her tail lashing back and forth wildly. She wasn't using the short version of onee-chan, she was calling Kiki her 'beloved sister'!

“I am two-hundred-and-eighty-five years old!” she announces petulantly, which really does absolutely nothing to lower her cuteness factor at at all. “Now if you will excuse me, I have a ceremony in half an hour!” She stomps out, fuming so violently that the candles in the living room all burst into flame. “WAH!”

You and Kiki look at each other and burst out laughing.

“SHUT UP!” The fire subsides instantly and you hear her bedroom door slam.

Then the lights come back on.

“Times up, Kiki-chan. We have to go.”

She sighs sadly and quickly collects some clothing and a few treasures, and you lead her down to the car.

No one questions you or tries to stop you, despite your display in the penthouse, and you finally relax slightly now that you are in an Akari-approved vehicle and on the road. “We'll be going to a safe house for now, and then transferring to a secure location once we've dealt with the compromised security that will happen there. The real place is top secret, only me and my two assistants are aware of it. Not even Oba-chan knows.” You glance at Kiki, who seems thoughtful.

“About what you said....back there....”

“Hmn?”

“Is it true?”

[] Oh yes, and worse.
[] I'm truly sorry. You don't deserve this.
[] I didn't know either. I found out later.
[] Listen....you need to know some things about me....and about you and me.

“Kiki....no, Kumatori-oujo-sama.”

Her eyes widen as you call her in the manner you call your precious people, your special people. It was a quirk, those triplicate titles, but now it means something, and even your most strident detractor, arch-rival, and all-around better0than-you-could-hope-to-be enemy knows it.

“I told someone I promised to protect my precious people. That includes you. I will protect you. I promised, them and myself. And now you.”

Her eyes are wide, shell shocked. Then they narrow as suspicious crowds to the forefront.

“But you have to know the truth. All of it.”

So you tell her. All of it. Everything, except the name that no one should remember, because it's just too dangerous. The tracking devices – all of them even the one in her upper breast. How you say the pain and fear in her pictures. Oba-san and Kumatori-sama's reasons for assigning you. How you're unnatural level of Jing make you more powerful than you should be. And about your ability to make her fertile, to fertilize dragonettes....fertilize her. What would happen if your pearls touched.

She lowers her head, thinking seriously, considering, her mouth tight and her eyes angry. You wait patiently for the inevitable explosion. The Kiki's face softens, her breath leaving in a perfumed sigh. Sadness overtakes her expression and it makes your heart absolutely ache for her pain.

“I'm sorry, Kiki You don't deserve this.”

“Domo arigato, Ryukusa-senpai.”

“Wh....wha....Uh....” FAILING HERE.

You sit up, and take a deep breath, and then turn to her, with as much dignity and earnestness as you can summon. “Irrahasime, oujo-sama.” Nothing of consequence. She smiles, gently, and her eyes meet yours, and you can feel it. Hearts, beating as one, the thudding of your pulse as it synchronizes with hers. The pulsing of your Pearl, the one under your breastbone, as it senses her nearby, senses Your Precious Treasure.

You stare at her sky blue eyes with your dark sapphire eyes. Her lips part in a small, delicate gasp as she feels it to, the pull, the need, the rightness of this. That she is yours.

Your heart beats heavily in your chest, everything you were about to say gone.

You lean towards her, her eyes closing as her lips part, soft, sakura blossom scent surrounding you.

“Stupid cosplayers.”

Every alarm in your head just exploded and killed at least three bystanders. “What did you say?”

The driver speaks up. “Sorry, ma'am, there's a cosplayer in the street.”

Kiki sits up, glaring at you for neglecting her.

“Turn off.”

“I can't ma'am, it's a straight away.” He presses on the horn, trying to get them to move. “Oh, stop waving your red sword at me you....”

Red sword?

FUCK!

"Run them down! That's an order!" Kiki's education may be incomplete and pathetic compared to yours, but her hands grab your left arm tightly. She recognizes it too Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, once called Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi, the real one. HIS sword!

“But ma'am....”

Didn't think this through too well, huh?

You know you will be reliving this moment many times.

The one time where your powers are near their weakest: against a weapon stolen from Water and Wood, that can command the Winds, wielded by a Demigod of Sea and Storms. If it had been made of Jade, there would be no hope.

Throwing up a Barrier protected the driver – he and his vehicle drive on, the mysterious cosplayer vanished, his car fine, and his passengers gone. The spiritual existence of the car, still speeding at HIM, being sliced in half, the passengers in the back seat, terrified, knowing death was coming for them. The real car will simply sputter, and die, the engine stalled forever as the true car dies an ignominious death of its own.

How shocked Kiki is when you grab her shoulder and shove her to the side with all the force you can muster! She slams into the door and the armrest, her eyes closing in pain and her breath a soft, soundless grunt. The tilt of her head down as she recovers almost instantly, her resilience so very enviable this very moment. The way her eyes open as you start to pull back. Your gazes meet, her shocked, tear-filled blue eyes wide. The sun falls between you as the blade cleaves through the roof and her eyes rise to meet it.

The blade passes between your gazes, her eyes following it down to your hand, your eyes closing. You're not fast enough. You knew you wouldn't be. So you do what you can: you pull all the blood away from your arm even as the blade passes through metal, glass, leather, silk, skin, muscles, bone. There isn't even any pain, just a cool sensation as the metal touches you. Your blood slides from your arm, your wrist turning white, the near-black ruby fluid slipping through the air between the remaining part of your upper arm and the two inches above your elbow, where The Grass-Cutting Blade has separated it.

>>32734764
oh

Except, she worked for Kuraokami, not Susanoo.

>>32734764
Falling back against your own door, the blood surging into the stump and vanishing, you grab the flesh near the stump as hard as you can. You concentrate on staying alive as the two halves of the car scream on the road, slamming into a wall and into another parked car respectively. The last glimpse of Kiki you see before impact is her face, white with shock as you save her life by sacrificing your own arm. The half-car topples over, spilling you onto the ground. Fortunately, you planned your fall, and don't get yourself trapped.

You can keep the blood inside, but it takes effort. A cloth tourniquet won't help you – your inhuman heart will pump your blood out at a stupid rate. You hear HIM shouting something at Kiki and Kiki yelling back. So they're still talking – for now. You might be able to help Kiki, but if you're trying to stop the blood flow, you can't use any other power at all.

[] Confront HIM anyways. You may be able to talk HIM out of anything immediate.
[] Drastic measures, then take the fight to HIM.
[] Try and use your magic to communicate to Akari and Yui the danger Kiki is in; they can break your Barrier down if they need to, being Void and Stone – but there is a cost in blood.

You're still in the car, which has fallen over, trapping you underneath half of it. That's not actually entirely bad, it means that BASTARD isn't aware you're still alive. You're on the ground, curled over, gripping the stump of your arm with hand and mind alike, and you're going to cut a bitch.

You close your eyes and use your power to keep your blood inside your body. You can still hear them shouting and that bastard laughing, so oujo-sama is holding her own for the moment. You hold your hand in front of your chest, where you once would have clapped twice to call the spirits attention to yourself; this is all you can do now.

One hand clapping. Funny, really.

A soft, whispered prayer in the moment it will take to make sure you can fight your best, even one armed, is all you have time for before you do something spectacular.

“Ami-no-Horobi-no-Mikado, Emperor of the Rain of Destruction, Lord of the Abyssal Deeps of the Ocean, give your daughter the strength to fight HIM.”

You reach up and grab the two hairpins that keep your intricately knotted and tied hair up, and it collapses in a rush, falling straight and untangles and unwaved, as water will do. You take both pins and tab them into the base of your arm, just above the stump, burying the tips in your humerus, which you feel like laughing about not one bit. Then you bend them both, wrapping them around the stump of your arm. It takes you three tries to bend the silver dragon tipped pins entirely around the stump of your arm. Your power makes it a water – and blood – proof seal with you finally finish, and twist the twin dragons around so the sapphire eyes face out once more.

Releasing your power, not a single drop of your blood falls from the stump of your left arm.

>>32734998
Clearly the best way to power up is to have a near-death experience or five, that never fails.

>>32734848

Wasn't "Grasscutter" one of the traditional ornaments of the ruling Emperor, one of his symbols of power?

And now it's fucking GO TIME, BITCH!

You hear Kiki shouting and HIM laughing, that bastard son of the Storm and Sea, Susano-oh. You stand up gesturing casually and blasting the car to pieces around you and flinging them for miles as the winds respond to your call. He – wait.

SHE turns, startled, and Kiki's jaw drops as you stand up, your hair flowing in the wind as the storms gather in your barrier. “Trying something new, Susano-dono? Couldn't be bothered protecting humans either?” The hate makes your voice carry, the very air obedient to your speech.

So it is with hi- ah, her. She's an adult, her red and very racy armor gleaming, the blood of a hundred dragonborn staining it. “I will not let this world be controlled by the likes of THAT,” she says while sweeping her sword at Kiki, whose hair is blasted back by the power of the wind the blade commands. Hi- HER voice very....well...fruity, actually. Weirdly pitched.

….oh....

Oh, this is too good.

“....really, Stormlord? Hormones? I mean, come on! Or is it steroids....wait...I get it! You're an ACTUAL demigod, not Susano-oh! You don't even KNOW how to put up a barrier!” While it may be true, you're still operating at a disadvantage. “Still....I suppose since I'm operating at a handicap, you won't get to brag about cutting me down.”

Susano's daughter is glaring at you, the long, deadly blade glimmering, the stroms above you both intesifying.

Yes. Susano'o found it inside one of Orochi's tails when he killed him. Much later the bearer was ambushed and hid in tall grasses that were set ablaze, and he used the sword to cut and blow away the burning grasses, giving it its current name. The sword, amaterasu's mirror, and the beads are the three holy treasures of the imperial family.

Susano-oh was an honorless cur, and is no friend of Man. He's like that guy who says he's your friend and will always stick up for you, except he totals your car, breaks your furniture, sets your carpet on fire for laughs, drinks all your booze, and tries to sexually molest your sister's friends.

I think that was more about the spy stuff earlier. She's the same type as we are, which means neither of us are weak to each other, and we use the same barrier combat abilities. Our shen is stronger than it was, but our chi is weak for some reason.

THAT SAID: We are way in the red here. We can't use two of our techniques at full capacity, while she can, and she has exactly the same techniques and AN ARTIFACT.

She will kill us.

Kiki looks at you and stands up, her voice lost to the wind and the rushing water. Susano-oh's daughter takes a guarded stance, but does nothing more as you gather your Shen your spiritual life force, the power of your Elemental Self.

“Daughter of Susano-oh, enemy of my kind, wielder of Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi.” Your voice echoes hollowly throughout the Barrier, and she crouches lower, the blade rising a few inches.

“You would attack the wounded?” You flip her the bird with your nonexistent arm.

“You would cut down the helpless, the untrained?” You gesture to Kiki and a blast of wind surges at the slight gesture, but does not penetrate her guard; the blade will not let that pass.

“If so, then you will die.”

You feel, more than see the red meat of your missing arm turn blue and cold, the bone as clear and shining as sapphire. The sharp crack of your breastbone splitting as your Pearl rises is like a gunshot, the blue-black, mysterious gem fully a tenth larger than the last time you decided to kill someone in the coldest blood of all.

Kiki gasps and clutches her chest, her eyes filled with tears, her face pale with shock.

You feel nothing save a vast abyss of hate for the one who caused her to suffer this indignity, stole her from you, frightened her. Your shirt, your jacket are blasted apart and away from your Pearl as your hair floats in the unseen oceanic currents that surround you even here.

Susano-dono has no pearl, but you see a faint, luminous aura round her. She slowly stands, and you can see her own Shen gathering, silver turning gold, and then her armor crack, shifts, grows over her like living flesh. It becomes a suit of full o-yoroi armor, the mask more demonic than heaven the half-demon's. The sword does not change, does not partake in the power of the one who wields it. She pulls back, the Style and Sword of her choice clear and piercing.

Pretty sure she started the fight when she cut our arm off, anon.

"Swipper no swipping" doesn't really work, anyway. But we should try it the next time we meet a mischievous kitsune

I don't know what any of these options mean

Pls help

From what I gather, Daddy would approve this girl's behavior

"Show me what passes for fury amongst your misbegotten kind."

First is attacking her bravado by basically calling her a coward.
Second is I guess the moral high-ground option? Not sure.
Third is insulting her honor and pride, basically just saying 'yo mama be ashamed!'
Fourth I have no clue to be honest.
And I have no idea which would work best.

>>32735738
Basically, those are insults.

Please guys... Read about Susano-o before posting. The idiot was a lout and a braggart who did what he wanted and resorted to tricks when he couyldn't win in a fair fight. We need to hurt her, not boost her pride.

No "yours are smaller than mine" option?

>>32735778
In that case, the first one would work best.

Her dad is an honourless cunt and I doubt she is any better.

>>32735805
Probably option 4 for that one.

>>32735790
Then laughing about her lack of honour makes even less of a sense and the best is option #4..

>>32735738
The pastebin is busted. But we can extrapolate (not voting here):

Come and Fell the Weak, if Your Heart is So Small and Your Honor so Meaningless.

We insult her use of cheap shots despite having a dragon-wrecking weapon.

Stand and Bear the Brunt of Another's Hate:

We tell her exactly why she disgusts us, personaly.

Child of the Gods, You make them Weep for Your Blackened Soul.

We tell her how much her behavior is unfit from a godling

You Will Not Fall to this Blow:

We... torture her slowly, I guess?

>>32735826
Being a honroless coward, doesn't mean it doesn't affect you to be called out on it.

>>32735792
And this is tier 1. Wonder what the talk is in the others.

>>32735676
>[x] Child of the Gods, You make them Weep for Your Blackened Soul.
Amaterasu would be ashamed.
Not like she's not always embarrassed by Susanoo's progeny, but...

>>32735839
Depends entirely on his ego size. Most would reply with a "whatever works!" while setting off the explosives.

>>32735845
We better hope we got this by stage 2. Otherwise we are pretty fucked.
