[Episode 33362] [Episode 33362]She found herself resting in Onoli’s arms, taking a sinful pleasure in the soft-yet-hard feeling of his muscles. The more she cast her eyes his way, the more she listened to that soft voice, the more she knew that she would be his. She’d seen the possible children they'd make tonight through the time stream, beautiful children with fur like fire, minds of steel traps, and quiet, intense souls... both the best and the worst of their parents.
She knew the future; she also knew the past. She’d looked on as Onoli’s parents had made love, seen the young werelion learning to hunt on the plains of Jade, seeing the boy become man as he joined the Edge Guard, and watched as he accepted leadership - and paid the leader’s price.
They were solace - two alone, together. They were the ones who stood guard at the gates of hell. Maybe it was arrogance, but she’d always thought herself alone, even among the other Senshi. She was surprised to find that he’d been the same way - just as he’d been surprised to find her.
It felt so good to be next to him that it hurt. And it would begin tonight - and, if she had her way, for a long time after. She could smell her own readiness, as well as his attraction; they wouldn’t be able to hold back.
And it would comtinue until all weres on earth - cat, wolf, rat, the new types, ALL - were one in Furry Tokyo. Their goals would combine into one, into something much greater than either had imagined. She looked up at Onoli, twitched her tail, and gave the most subtle of smiles; his eyes danced as he rubbed a hand along her fur.

Theodore Diggers looked up at the ceiling; sleep wasn’t coming tonight.
The wererats had proven to be an invaluable source of information - once his daughters were done bowling. Essentially, the clan was the mafia, and was similarly paranoid in its dealings. They essentially had two rules that they lived by. One: All wererats belonged in the clan, and were subject to the clan’s rule. Two: All threats to the clan were to be eliminated.
This left two critical problems in regards to his family and friends. Akane and Ami were in danger - Akane her freedom, Ami her life. Akane might be forgiven for not rushing to Gothwrain’s side, but Ami, as the child of Hikaru, would be seen as a threat to Gothwrain’s power. The other was more straightforward: any werecheetah was marked for death, with his daughter as Wererat Enemy Number One. Needless to say, the clan was not happy with the possibility of new werecheetahs, and was preparing for war - a war for which his family and friends were not yet ready.
If that was the only thing that had happened, he’d be calm. Contact with Australia had been lost eight hours ago; what few reports had come out indicated that Claudius had changed the entire nation into his army of weres. His mind was abuzz with the possibilities; he’d heard a bit from several different sources that this was foreseen and not to worry, but such a force of weres staggered the imagination. He couldn’t fight it - not in any traditional sense. About the only way he could conceive of to free Australia was to defeat the king.
Or...
He looked over at his sleeping wife, kissed her gently, then eased his way out of bed. He had a lot of planning to do - and he’d need the Senshi’s help.

Claudius smiled as he looked upon his army of weres. No more small groups to do bungled semi-secret operations; his was an open army, all changed and bent to his will, in a place humans would have a difficult time attacking. What few pockets of resistance that remained were quickly being found and converted to the cause. Within another day, no normal human would set foot on this land.
However, it was time to change focus. The other human powers of the world were turning their eyes to his threat; while he had no doubts of the failure of any attack on his land, this was not good. He needed to distract them, to force the world powers to focus on their own people. Fortunately, he had just the way to accomplish it.
“Shampoo!”
The werecat jumped at his call, and presented herself before him. “Yes, Lord?”
He smiled. “How would you like to take a vacation? I hear New York City is nice this time of year...”
