This story is going to include a relationship between three women. If this offends you, please stop reading!
On with the story!
Usagi glared at the three, admirably taller, men standing in front of her. The men each refused to meet her eyes, finding their feet far more interesting at the moment. "Will one of you explain what you three are doing here?" Usagi growled, causing the men to flinch on the steps of the Jinja. Even though Galaxia had been defeated a few months ago, the Senshi still made a point of meeting at the Jinja to make sure no new evil came up, and keep in touch with each other's lives.
The Senshi had been in the middle of one such meeting when these three men burst through the door, each wearing skin tight t-shirts that clearly displayed both their muscles and identical tattoo of a wolf howling to the moon on their right biceps, saying that they needed to speak with Usagi at that very moment. Usagi had been sitting off to the side, smiling as she watched her friends interact. Her eyes had finally drifted to the corner she had been fighting to keep them away from, barely catching a glimpse of aqua and dirty blonde, when the men appeared. At first, Usagi was overjoyed for the distraction, however when she saw who the distraction was, a deep sense of dread filled her. Usagi had quickly stopped her friends/Senshi from doing anything to the men, herding them outside and down the steps as she told the Senshi still inside to not worry and stay there.
And that is how the four people find themselves in this standoff, waiting for someone to explain. The tallest man, a raven haired and navy-blue eyed male appearing to be in his mid-twenties, took a deep breath, his foot claiming a tentative step forward. "Alpha," his voice equivalent to a rumble of thunder, "we come bearing bad news. Kenshin-sama has moved to the Great Beyond, and as his only heir, you must come back to the pack."
Usagi felt as though all the air left her lungs in one fell swoop. She tilted her head up, taking in the few lone clouds dancing through the deep blue sky, before bobbing her head curtly at the three men in front of her. "Thank you, Katsuo-san, for telling me." The tall man, now known as Katsuo nodded once before stepping back in line. Her eyes drifted to the other two men who had yet to move. They landed on the shortest of the three, a red haired sea-green eyed man appearing to be in his early-twenties whose foot began to trace patterns in the dirt. "Aoi-san," Usagi's voice pierced the air between them, causing the red headed man's body to twitch. "What didn't he tell me?"
The youngest twitched again before taking a deep breath and a surprisingly sure half-step forward. "The Elders refuse to acknowledge you as Kenshin-sama's heir unless you are able to prove you are the prophesied child."
Usagi closed her eyes for a moment, she really didn't want to tell them under these circumstances, but desperate times call for desperate measures and what not. She turned to the last man, only a couple inches shorter than Katsuo. He had light blonde hair and sky-blue eyes. The man hadn't moved an inch since the conversation started, but feeling Usagi's stare directed at him prompted him to slowly incline his head until their eyes met. A growl escaped Usagi unbidden, but these men had come onto her territory, uninvited, and now one of them DARED to look her in the eye. The blonde quickly averted his gaze, but Usagi's beast had been awoken with that simple act of defiance, and it demanded total submission.
Usagi's growl deepened, and suddenly the area the three men found themselves in was drenched in an oppressive aura. The weight of the aura, that the men knew to be Usagi's will, pressed down on their shoulders, dropping each of them to their knees. Next, it placed its weight on their heads, manipulating them into bearing their necks. As the men held this position of total submission, Usagi fought to control her beast. To calm it so that it would release the men from its hold. From her hold.
Please. Let them go. Usagi begged.
They challenged us. They dared challenge us, their ALPHA! And in front of our mates! The beast's voice echoed in Usagi's head, taking the form of a rumbling growl.
Our mates weren't here to see their challenge. Usagi fought to soothe the beast. And you have quelled any other challenge they may have been tempted to present.
And it was true, the men were in a completely submissive position, practically laying on the ground with their necks barred. If Usagi wanted, she could kill them all at that very moment.
Except, not everything Usagi said was true. While the men were busy submitting, and Usagi tried to control her beast, the Senshi had come outside to try and see what was so important about these men that their princess had practically run from the room to speak with them. And as such, each of the Senshi had seen the interaction, including the two who Usagi's beast had been wanting to claim since they had first met.
Usagi felt her beast suddenly calm, the growl in her chest no longer rumbling, appearing to want to prance about. Our mates saw our power. They saw us make those three submit. They saw our strength... The beast thoughts continued in a similar tangent, prompting Usagi's aura to release the three men in front of her, and making Usagi look up the steps of the Jinja to see her Senshi staring down at them, completely gobsmacked.
"Shit." Usagi whispered. This really was not how she wanted them to find out. Usagi turned back to the three men, each returned to their former positions, eyes once more landing on the one who prompted that little power display. "Yamato-san." Her voice held a cold edge that caused him to flinch. " You would do well to remember your place." His head bowed lower. She then addressed them as a whole. "Do you have a place to stay for the night?" After each nodded, Usagi sighed again. "Alright. Go to that place and get settled in. We will meet at the Crown arcade tomorrow afternoon." She then turned to look up at her Senshi. "I have some explaining to do."
The men took that as the dismissal it was, leaving with only a murmured, "As you have said Alpha, so it shall be."(1). Then they were gone, leaving Usagi to deal with her very confused Senshi.
