[Episode 225663] [Episode 225663]
"Holy shit, Oyuki! You're kidding me!"
The crown princess and heiress to the throne of Kôri shook her head as she gazed into the warm, deep brown eyes of her current companion and long-time lover. "It's true, Benten. The Minister of the Chamber confirmed it himself before I came to see you. Lady K'ekhech has gone to Earth to visit Lum and her husband."
Hearing that, Benten Shigaten took a moment to consider what that meant, and then she breathed out. "Fuck! The Dragonspeaker herself, huh?!" She shook her head before gazing on the Neptunian beside her. "Hey! You don't supposed that…?"
"Lum and her husband went to one of the colonies in the Outmarches after they disappeared after the church exploded on us in the wake of our rescuing him from Elle."
A nod. "Yeah. You did say that the sulphur residue they found at the church matched the one time someone from your planet encountered one of those damned overgrown lizards," Benten mused before she moved to slide herself onto Oyuki's legs, allowing her damp womanhood to come close to her lover's. "I wonder what happened in the month they were gone." She then perked before a laugh escaped her.
"What's so funny, my love?" Oyuki asked as she gently slid her hands up Benten's flanks, making the Fukunokami shiver in delight.
Benten wailed. "Oh, SHIT! Damn it, 'Yuki! Willya QUIT that?!" she gasped before leaning down to nearly suck the Neptunian's lips and mouth into her own, her kiss was that strong. After a minute of tongue-playing and wonderful touching all over their bodies, they slowly came apart to get some air. "Gods, I love you so much!"
"And I will always love you, Dearest," Oyuki said as she pulled Benten close to her. "So what was so amusing?"
"Was just thinking of something," Benten admitted. "If a ch'uokyek dragged off Lum and Moroboshi into Noukiite space — say to Okusei — and they bumped into that girl over there, how would Moroboshi have reacted to her?"
Oyuki hummed. "I can't say. They say the Lady K'ekhech is a very private and remote person. Very few people are close to her emotionally; her parents passed away some years ago in a flitter accident outside Ryekkyuk." She closed her eyes. "But given her profound passion for things when she sets her mind onto something, it is within the realm of possibility that she might have taken interest in Ataru."
"And with the way Moroboshi can hide himself from Lum all the time…"
The Neptunian's eyes then went wide. "Oh, MY!"
Benten grinned. "We still got a chance!"
A nod. "Indeed, we do. Shall we go to Earth?"
"You driving or me?"
Oyuki smirked as she shifted Benten off her, and then slipped out from under the covers. "Would you trust me with your airbike?"
A snort. "I don't trust NOBODY with my bike!" The Fukunokami then shyly smiled as she gazed on her lover. "But I think I could make an exception."
"Never mind, you silly girl," Oyuki said as she headed out the door of the master suite of her private yacht, a beautiful swan-shaped starship that was now in orbit over Jupiter. "I'll get us to Earth as soon as I can, okay?"
"Make it slow enough so we can get showers," Benten advised.
"But of course."
Meanwhile, in another part of the solar system, on the direct line between Sol and Alpha Centauri…
"KYECH DID WHAT?!"
"Travelled to Earth on her own using a space-taxi to Triton from Okusei, then the Warp Chamber right into Tariko's and Lum's bedroom in Tomobiki…" — The town’s name was pronounced in the Noukiite common style, which sounded like "T'omopik'i" — "…so she could go find this person on Earth who was touched by the Great Lady Hucheng-ch'ekyunghechha some years ago." The green-haired, brown-eyed, bespectacled woman in the formal tan-and-black robes which denoted her as Chief-of-Staff to Her Imperial Majesty's Chancellor of the Outmarches then sighed in fatigue as she reached up to rub her forehead, partially covered with a cap that seemed a weird cross of a baseball soft hat and a pirate's headgear. "She didn't even bother notifying anyone that she was doing this, except for a private message to Earth alerting their Special Committee on Alien Activities that she was coming and why." A moan. "Oh, Kaep' is going to be SO upset when she hears about this!"
"Well, at least it's not Kaep' herself that went to Earth, Kyek," the red-haired, purple-eyed tomboy in the soft gold and black jumpsuit said as she relaxed in the co-pilot's chair of the small two-man solar-sail scoutship that was currently passing the orbit of Jupiter on direct course for the third world of this system.
Her companion in the pilot's chair gasped as Kyek nearly screamed in horror. "Kyekkyek! Don't say something like that in front of Kyek!"
A shrug. "Why not? You know how much Kaep' likes to travel around, Kuohu!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!"
Both women watched as Kyek screamed to the heavens as she grabbed her side-by-side braids and yanked on them. "I HATE IT WHEN KAEP' DOES THAT!" she howled as she shook her head. "HATE IT! HATE IT! HATE IT!" She then slumped down and looked at her desk. "Doesn't she realise how much I worry about her…?"
"Please, Kyek, calm down," Kuohu said as she waved the other woman down. "You need to keep an eye on your blood pressure! When was the last time you went out on the town to enjoy a wonderful meal with Syei at the eating house near the riverbank?"
Kyek tried not to pout. "That still won't get me to calm down…" She then stopped herself before slapping her cheeks a couple times and shaking her head. "Never mind!" she snarled. "Get to Earth and find out what Kyech is doing! You have official clearance to land on Earth granted by the Special Committee themselves. And PLEASE try to make sure she doesn't do anything that might ruin our plans to open diplomatic relations with Earth when T'yekp'it' and her agents finally find that damned bioroid factory and get it brought here from wherever that k'uk'e Ôgi hid it!"
A nod. "Of course, Kyek. We'll be there in an hour."
"Thank you!"
The link with Hichkuchch'ek was cut. Once that was done, both free warriors breathed out as they relaxed in their seats and Kuohu pressed controls to deploy extra sails to increase their sub-light speed and get them to Earth immediately. "Heaven's Gate! Kyek sure worries about the silliest things at times!" Kyekkyek said as she shook her head before reaching down to pull up her bladed polearm, the Blood of the Viper's Heart, up so she could finish polishing its deadly surface with linseed oil. "Kyech wouldn't hurt a fly! She especially wouldn't hurt Tariko and Lum! She loves them too much!"
"True, but given her level of power and her being so used to living on her own out in the wilderness, she may not fit in when she is on Earth, even in that district where Tariko and Lum live," Kuohu said as she reached up to gently brush her hand through the long black ponytail she always allowed to flow away from the left side of her head behind and above her ear. Save for a long bang of hair that hung away from the right temple, her hair was drawn back from her pretty yet very mature face, pierced with gold-brown eyes and touched with the tattoos of the Seup'uk on her cheeks. "Pull up a map of the Tôkyô area. I want to see the best place we can put this ship down."
"Okay," Kyekkyek said as she reached over to tap controls on her console. "Still, it'll be good to see Tariko and Lum again, wouldn't it?"
A nod. "I miss them, too, Kyekkyek." She then shook her head. "Don't worry about it. As soon as we get them both back to Noukiite space where they belong, we'll get them to Noukiios itself so we can visit the temple at Suchap't'ach on the night of Tip'heng and celebrate the time they finally take the promise oath with Kyech."
A hum. "Maybe At'at'at', too!"
A laugh. "Maybe!"
Both women then relaxed as they piloted their ship in while we…
