[Episode 240964] [Episode 240964]The vein on Kiyone's face twitched. No, the vein on Kiyone's face throbbed with anger. No, that's not quite right either, the vein on Kiyone's face reached out and strangled the Ryoko as she desperately tried to keep her temper in check. Her eyes became narrow slits of impending death as she asked, “Why is it pink.”
Ryoko took two steps back concealing the box in her arms behind her back. She puffed up for a moment, “How was I supposed...”
Excuses were cut short as Kiyone moved within millimeters of her handmaiden, “When this is over, I am going to harm you.”
The space pirate chuckled a bit at the empty threat. Kiyone was out of her league and she knew it. Although her soon to be wife might just provide a decent challenge. Pulling the box from behind her back Ryoko teased, “Well your Uncle sent over a replacement.”
Kiyone snapped at the box hoping to find an unmarred dress uniform with in. Instead she found something else completely. It wasn't terribly frilly yet it had a subtle slink to it that was more in fashion with current earth formal wear than traditional Morquendi formal wear.
Her uncle carefully offered, “I thought it best we didn't over whelm your suitor to be with too many alien rituals at once.”
The bride simply nodded as she held the silk garment up to her chest and looked at her self in the mirror, man or woman it was definitely something that could stop traffic.
A swarm of bats converged on the balcony of a high rise hotel in down town hotel. The individual creatures lost form as a slender leg stepped out of the shadow. Morrigan pouted a bit as she walked into her hotel room her evening was entertaining but somewhat unfulfilling. She knew her efforts weren't in vain there had been a reaction. That damn woman Morrigan simmered at the thought of Goldie's appearance. Her brow wrinkled as a voice teased, “You seem stressed sister”
Morrigan squeaked a bit as a slender asian figure pressed up against her back. The sensual form offered a very succubui greeting. Her breasts pressed into her back as the greeter's thigh rubbed against her leg. A warm set of lips almost caressing her ear. The elder allowed her self to fall into the younger woman's embrace. She let out a contented murmur as Chun Li played with her form, “I didn't think you'd catch up so soon.”
A giggle came from the room as Seras looked at her two sisters teasing each other, “We're not one night stands you know.” She came within inches of her queen's face, “We're supposed to be more than that.”
The queen reached out and caressed the blond's face, “I didn't mean to run off like that our little side trip...”
Chun Li's voice purred into her ear, “Plans were made and needed to be kept. We can forgive that.”
Seras grasped Morrigan's breast and teased, “I thought we were going to make her beg a bit.”
“We'll that is the plan.” Slender yet strong fingers rubbed at the teal haired succubus' delta as she deeply inhaled the scent of her hair, “Perhaps she can start with treating us to dinner and telling us about Ms. Gun-smoke and Leather.”
Shivering a bit in the embrace of her two wives Morrigan wondered when was the last time she had been domineered in such a way. Seras pressed into her taking in the lingering sent of the gunsmith, “I wonder if she is another police officer?”
Chun Li nodded, “Poor Sakura would be the only misfit if she is.”
Seras taunted as her slinky dress turned into a sexy version of her old uniform. The tan neck line was unbuttoned more than enough to expose the better portion of her immense cleavage while the skirt barely covered the swell of her ass, “Maybe she just likes women in uniform.”
The green haired elder blinked at the assessment. She took in the busty blond's eye candy for a moment, “Ibuki wasn't a cop.”
Shifting her clothes into a too tight and short version of her Interpol uniform Chun Li corrected, “She is being groomed for PSIA. Her scores are off the chart too.”
Twirling a pair of conjured handcuffs around her fingers Seras giggled, “So are you going to tell us about her or are we going to have to use an advanced interrogation technique.”
For her part Morrigan was enjoying the foreplay. The little game of sexy bad cop was a nice distraction even if Seras needed a bit of work suppressing her eagerness. She found Chun Li's domineering terseness quite convincing in fact, she could almost catch the motes of irritation in the air. Mental gears turned for a moment as she realized her arm was very much pinned behind her back and those subtle caresses with her leg had pushed her into a very unbalanced stance.
The door bell rang and Seras turned away. Chun Li whispered, “We still haven't had that conversation about the little things.”
An aristocratic voice called from the foyer of the suite, “Ms. Aesland are you prepared to receive guests.”
Morrigan turned to her bride and grimaced, “Oh, you’re good.”
Her impish grin had it plastered across her face, 'I'm the best and don't forget it.' She planted a searing kiss on her wife's lips only to draw away. The non-regulation Interpol uniform quickly became a very stunning yukata as she pushed her victim on to the bed. Chun Li called out the Jurian princess, “She will need a bit to make her self presentable.”
“Very well.” Ayeka called back as she sat down across from Seras at the small table in the suite's other room, “We do need to leave within the hour.”
The elder succubus looked at the ceiling then at her smirking companion, “I will find out how you orchestrated this.”
Chun Li continued smiling as she adjusted her robes, “Credit cards and the messages she left with the embassy. Wasn't even a challenge.”
Morrigan sat up looking over the 'yukata'. The slit up the slide of the leg let her show off a bit of leg while the modest neck line only hinted at her generous cleavage. An obsidian pair of stilettos lifted her heel just enough to put a bit of lift into her legs. Her hair curled around into an artful arrangement of braids on either side of her head to complete the ensemble. The green haired woman joked, “So we are going with the traditional look.”
“When in Tokyo and all that.” She joked as Morrigan sat up in the bed. The black evening dress seemed to melt away as an intricate pattern of shadows and light began to form covering her from neck line to toe. As the energy took form the traces of deep crimson joined the pattern. The resulting look of the furisode kimono seemed to almost be on fire. Her hair curled up into an intricate bun completing her look. Giving her a nod of approval Chun-Li called out to her lover, “Seras could you join us for a second.”
The young blond took one look at her two older companions and suddenly felt very under dressed. Subconsciously her uniform shifted and reformed to it's original specifications. Morrigan smiled at the girl, “None of that now, we have a formal omiai to attend.”
Seras for her part did her best to keep her eyes focused on the floor and not drool at the sight of her sisters, “Um, I'm uh... Brittish and uh...”
Chun Li and Morrigan simply nodded. Morrigan simply gave her a level reply, “Just relax and let us take care of it.”
She took a breath and closed her eyes letting her clothing sink back into her skin as she felt four hands touch her. Morrigan instructed Chun Li as she felt the various layers of the formal wear solidify around her body. When her two sisters stepped away she opened her eyes and looked her self over. The orphaned blond had never expected to find her self in such finery. Her dress was patterned after Chun Li's the only difference being the dark green tones contrasting to the dark blue tones of the other.
Ayeka had expected many things to come out of the other room given Seras first impression. Three stunningly beautiful women in formal wedding attire was not one of them.
Setsuna Meio sat patiently within Ryu-Oh's garden. The flowing waters and subtle movement of air made one almost think they were within a forest rather than a space ship. While she could sense many of the trends within the flows of time being declared a neutral party in an alien omaiai between an alien family and a makai queen was definitely not on the radar.
A flash of light announced the presence of four more women within the ship. Her violet eyes looked over the queen and three princesses. Ayeka and Morrigan had been known factors. Her eyes wandered to the almost familiar blond she asked her self, “A vampire?”
Her head cocked to the side as she realized that Seras Victoria was not a vampire nor in the service of Integra Hellsing. She shook her head as a vision of Minako and Seras leaving a wake of bloody noses in their path crossed her mind. Freeing her mind from her vision she greeted her old project, “Hello Morrigan.”
“Pluto.” The succubus offered a small bow that was quickly returned, “I'm glad you decided to come.”
Smiling serenely Setsuna replied with a good humor, “Oh, I just wanted to see if any 'I told you so's were in order yet.”
Seras watched the interaction carefully taking note of yet another iron willed woman. Morrigan simply tilted her head to the side, “It has been an interesting experience so far. I will admit that long term relationships are proving to be a challenge.”
Chun Li rolled her eye's at her wife's euphemisms. She knew they had all taken the plunge on a one way trip in a big way and it wasn't going to be easy. Off to the side Ayeka announced, “We will be arriving momentarily please prepare yourselves.”
Crossing her lips the guardian of Pluto smiled, Morrigan's choices were proving to be very interesting. Her vision blurred again as she caught a glimpse of herself pinning the dark haired succubus to a wall. She licked her lips and cursed, “Damn pheromones.”
Looking around Setsuna realized she was outside of the Masaki temple. A small lavender eyed girl greeted her, “Miss Meio?”
She nodded at the pre-teen as the others were shuffled off to their various corners. Sasami continued, “I am Sasami, I'll be serving as Kiyone's neutral party, your counter part for this exchange.”
Nodding a bit she asked, “Just what can I expect to do for the next week?”
The girl shrugged, “Mostly sit around and enjoy the temple grounds. We have to handle the exchange of the dowery... or is it a bride price.” The young girl considered it for a moment, “Well since Kiyone is definitively female lets call it a bride price.”
Setsuna's lip curled into a small smile at the girl's little debate, “Kiyone would be bearing the first child should the two agree so I believe you conclusion is the accurate one.”
Sasami perked up at the mention of children, “Really! That will make her family so happy. Kiyone will make a great mom.”
“So what else will we be doing?” The keeper of time asked as she walked towards the house with her young host, “Both of us have to be present when ever the bride and... um bride.” Sasami looked up to Setsuna for confirmation, “Are in contact.”
Rolling her eyes at the prospect of being Morrigan's chaperone for the next week she entered the house. A flurry of activity greeted her. She watched as her guide bolted from her side, “Leave that alone Mihoshi!”
“But it smells so good!” A voice whinnied from the other room.
An elderly voice cut through the chaos by calling out her name. She turned and frowned at the old man, “I thought we came to an agreement old man.”
He chuckled a bit, “Your wrinkles will start to show if you keep scowling like that.”
“Every time she pilots a ship it crashes.” Setsuna poked Katsuhito in the chest, “Do you know how long it took me to clear up this last accident!”
Taking her irritation in stride the shrine keeper joked, “It wasn't my fault the intended was locked in a hot bath.”
Setsuna palmed her face, “You're kidding me right. Mihoshi's partner caught the eye of Queen Aesland?”
The seemingly old priest nodded. Setsuna just looked at the ground, “I have got to put a stop to this. I don't think I can handle cleaning up Mihoshi's accidents for the next eighty years.”
“Setsuna even you know better than to get involved in one of the Chousin's schemes.” The old man offered up a bottle of his finest sake, “We can forget our troubles for a while.”
Evening came far too soon or not soon enough depending on who you asked. Morrigan sat calmly at the table with Chun Li to her intimidate left and Seras just beyond her. To her right a happily buzzed Pluto sampled yet another glass of wine. Morrigan smirked at the sight of the tipsy guardian, “Enjoying your self?”
“More than you know.” She traced the rim of her glass with her finger. She practically purred out, “I think this is going to be a nice vacation.”
The succubus rolled her eyes, “This shouldn't be so difficult. I have no idea why they are trying to make this as complicated as possible.”
“Just be happy we're not doing our regular jobs.” The emerald haired woman smiled at her companion, “Ah, were going to begin. Dial down the pheromones and be quiet.”
A Sasami led Ryoko and Akeya into the room. Both women made a break to sit beside Tenchi who was at the far end of their table. The younger princess tried to put the two women in their proper seats. A third woman stepped into the room and just laughed as she sat down in the seat opposite Morrigan. With a calm tone Kiyone apologized, “For give my maidens they are easily excitable.”
Three exceptionally regal succubi looked down their noses at a princess and space pirate fighting over a boy. Well they didn't know he was heir to the Jurian throne as he was currently dressed in simple grey robes denoting him as the man-at-arms for the duration of the ceremony. Seras let out a little laugh unable to maintain her poker face as she heard the bride's joke, “You'd almost think it was his wedding day.”
Kiyone smiled and played along, “Perhaps a double ceremony could be fun. We could call in Princess Seto to officiate the proceedings.”
Akeya looked at Ryoko who simply returned her nod. The two made a quick exchange of whispers. Chun-Li bit her lip as the two proceeded to play a round of rock-paper-scissors to determine who would sit where. She could practically taste the power wafting off of the two beautiful women. She shook her head clear of flighty fantasies involving her and the short haired aristocrat. Ryoko's rock lost to the princess's scissors and she begrudgingly took her place beside the bride.
The mistress of time shook her tipsy head as she stood up and announced, “The House of Pluto greets the House of Makibi as an envoy of House Aesland.”
Introductions continued in the formal matter. Each person present stating their name and position within the ritual. Seras and Chun-Li watched as a stupendous sum of money exchanged hands. The only time either of them had seen an equivalent amount of material wealth was in the evidence room of their respective agencies. Kiyone and Ryoko looked at the cache of rare metals almost dumb founded. The bride price being offered was a ridiculous sum. Easily enough money to buy her own ship and drift from resort to resort for the rest of her life. A queens ransom traded hands and Chun-Li mumbled, “I didn't even get an engagement ring.”
“Yes but the honeymoon was enjoyable wasn't it?” Morrigan replied in a quiet whisper.
Scowling a bit she testily replied, “We got kicked out of the club and then we had to fight for our lives against those vampires.”
Morrigan scoffed, “We were hardly in any danger. ” She looked over at the blond succubus who seemed to exude an almost childish excitement over the circumstances, “Besides you seemed to have found your self an interesting playmate.”
Their hushed whispers were interrupted by a tipsy guardian, “Pay attention.”
Kiyone looked at the asian succubus and stated regally, “I will speak with your second.”
