[Episode 243717] [Episode 243717]Anko sighed as she held the peacefully sleeping Ibuki in her arms and watched the movements of one of the two wings coming out of the other ninja's back. The other wing was folded sharply to Ibuki's back and hidden under the blankets, but this one was unfolded mostly and added to the clingy pose the girl already had with regards to Anko.
The facts of the matter were more than clear: Anko's roommate was a succubus and she was enthralled to the young demoness. Of course, she didn't care at all about that. She cared about Ibuki and how to protect her and help her.
That thought came appropriately as a knock came upon the door. Ibuki shifted slightly, but settled back into a sleep as she cuddled in further against Anko, bare breasts and thighs brushing against the very happy sempai.
But that knock came again.
Anko glanced toward Ibuki and thought about her waking up. That brought something of a frown to her face, the younger ninja needed her sleep from what Anko could tell. Carefully and with supreme reluctance, she disentangled herself from Ibuki's cluthes. The older ninja let her hands trail along the silky webbing of the succubus's yellow wings and traced some of Ibuki's curves, drawing a sleepy smile from the other girl.
There was a brief mumble of dissatisfaction when Ibuki first unconsciously realized that her lover was no longer in the bed with her. Just as briefly, Anko was tempted to go back into the bed with Ibuki, but the knock on the door came again, a bit more insistently.
Carefully, Anko draped the blankets completely over Ibuki's inhuman and beautiful body and pulled on a trenchcoat nearby to at least cover up some, though she realized she probably looked like some kind of flasher doing that. Keeping that thought to herself, she moved to the door and cracked it open.
"What can I help you....with?" she asked immediately, and was surprised to be looking at what seemed to be a green man with a bowl of water in his skull, dressed in a business suit.
"Is Her Excellency, Ibuki Aensland, second wife of Queen Morrigan available?" he asked.
Anko frowned and narrowed her eyes and responded to the question. "Who is asking?"
The green man looked confused for a moment and then seemed to have a sudden realization.
"Ah, of course, you must be her consort," the kappa said, pulling out a notepad. "Might I have your name for the palace records?"
"Can you tell me what you're hear for?" Anko demanded sharply.
"Oh...yes, I suppose that is more important," the green man said in embarrassment. "Well, I suppose...we're rather concerned for her Excellency's health."
"Concerned?" Anko repeated, somewhat worriedly herself.
"We have not been able to track her feedings," the kappa clarified. "Lady Chun Li and her own wife, Seras Victoria, have been alongside Queen Morrigan since their turning and we have compl...records from a Makai Diner's Club and accounts from Lady Helsing of the British Hellsing organization. Lady Sakura has been engaging in a number of fighting tournaments, but we have no reliable record of Ibuki attending to her nourishment. I must say it is very good to see that she does have a healthy...human-ish...consort on hand. How many consorts does she have?"
Anko thought for a moment, she'd originally been tracking Ibuki having possible flings with more than a dozen other attendees of the college, mostly normal civilians rather than ninjas. However, since she'd started sleeping with Anko, she'd become more or less monogamous.
At which point she realized that she should have been offended as soon as the question was asked.
"Hey, Ibuki-sama isn't the type of girl to ru..." Anko remembered again the high number of one-night-stands that she now suspected Ibuki-sama had been involved in since her return from the last tournament. "She isn't the type of girl to betray someone."
"Oh dear, just you then," the kappa said. "You'll have to attend to that."
"Did you just tell me to find my girlfriend some more lovers?" Anko asked and then looked up and down the hallway as she realized that she'd said that a bit louder than she'd intended.
"Well, really, you only need to take her places were people are exhibiting a large amount of self-confidence," the kappa said. "But it would be best for her to find other consorts, yes. Or she could attend the local Makai Diner's Club regularly."
"Why are y..." Anko stopped in mid-sentence as she realized something, "succubus...shit. She can't just feed on me?"
"Once her pregnancy is complete, yes, that is healthy for both of you," the kappa said.
"Oh, her...her what?!" Anko snapped wincing as some doors opened further in the hallway. Flushing brightly, she glanced around and then pulled the kappa into the room.
"Watch the water! Don't spill the water!"
"She's...pregnant?" Anko repeated, eyes demanding clarification.
"That is part of the process of being transformed from human to succubus," the kappa said nervously. "Did not Queen Morrigan make it clear that she would be carrying our Queen's child? Or is that too much to ask?"
"How does a woman impregnate another..." Anko thought back her various sexual encounters with Ibuki. "...tentacles."
"That is right, Dame...I still do not have your name, I'm afraid," the kappa said.
"Anko. How...how many consorts does she need?" Anko asked with a sigh.
"Where is Her Excellency, I might be able to tell her directly," the kappa noted.
Anko did not look toward the lumpy bed.
"How many?"
"Five is safest, rotating light feedings through the week," the kappa said. "Three is possible if the other two are more human than you are. Alternatively, two heavy feedings a week from the Makai Diner's Club or her own sources, if she wants to risk independent hunting."
"Why do you keep implying I'm not human?" Anko asked.
"There is a...scent about you, somewhat snakish..." the kappa said. "You might just be of naga descent, they almost bred themselves into extinction with their preference for marrying human males a few centuries back."
"Uh....huh," Anko said. "Just tell me where to find a Diner's Club and get out, all right?"
"Oh, and you might have to be insistent," the kappa said. "Succubae, especially young ones, can be especially loyal to established consorts. Which is another reason to go for consorts rather than regular feedings with strangers, but it is her choice, I suppose."
"Are...are you certain about this, Naruko-kun?" the soft voice of the purple haired makai girl asked as she sat on the chair next to the blond kitsune.
The purple haired girl stared blankly ahead, not seeing the world immediately around her out of her milky white eyes. That was sort of the curse of being an oracle, the only time they ever saw anything was when it was some point in the future. And most of the time that future information was rather useless.
"Don't worry, Hinata-chan, one cage match, or maybe sitting with one of those fear-eaters, a couple of pints of blood to a vampire and we've got enough money for a train ticket to the nearest Makai portal and we're that much closer home," Naruko said.
"It just feels...odd, like, selling my...body," Hinata said quietly, bending her head over and pushing her fingers together.
"Oh don't worry about that," a man said nearby. "There's nothing to force you to do anything you don't want to. This is a club for consenting adults, after all."
"Besides," a woman's haughty voice said. "It's not like anybody is going to pick you."
"And what's wrong with us?" Naruko demanded.
"Pfft, you're Makai," the woman responded. "We're all human. We taste better, our life-force lasts longer against feeding and you enthrall too easily giving people unwanted ties. Makai and empowered humans, that's like all tough gristle, you get too much use out of your souls. I, on the other hand am sweet succulent sugar melting on my paramour's aura."
"Well maybe we're just an acquired taste," Naruko protested.
"Oh please," the woman teased, grinning as Hinata shrunk in on herself. "A makai feeder would have to be a total novice to ever pick another makai from the menu."
"Hinata and Naruko," an oni announced as he entered the room. "You're being ordered."
There was dead silence for a moment before the arrogant woman shouted.
"WHAT?!"
"Are you sure about this, Ibuki-sama?" Anko asked. "The little turtle guy said humans are a better choice."
"I don't really want to do this, Anko-sempai," Ibuki said. Anko started to open her mouth..."I know, I know. I'm going to feed...but wouldn't it be better to try another demon first...I'm sure there's less likely to be any chance of real side-effects, right?"
