"Why," whispered Maya. "Do you have so much scars?"

"Orimura-kun, please."

Maya did not further question him as she traced the scars on his back.

"... nee-san."

"Sorry?"

"It was nee-san."

"Which ... which one?"

"I won't say any more than that."

Maya sighed and hugged him from the back.

"Well ...if you need anything, your sensei is here to help, okay?"

"Orimura-kun?"

Maya peeked curiously around to look at Ichika's face and saw that he had fallen asleep.

"Orimura-kun, you dummy," she teased softly. "You're not supposed to fall asleep when a lady is talking to you."

Maya laid Ichika down and tucked him in, before walking out the door. No sooner had she stepped out, did she find a gun pressed against her throat.

"Who gave you permission to enter," Madoka asked curiously, her words oozing with bloodlust. "Why were you inside?"

Trembling in fear, Maya gulped. "W-Well ... Orimura-sensei wanted me to help him ..."

"Tch, nee-san must be out of her mind," grumbled the girl, who holstered the gun. "I'll let you off this time, but remember: don't ever enter without our permission.

Knees shaking, Maya could only give a nod in agreement.

"No."

That one word shut up everyone who was in the room.

"Pardon, Ms. Orimura?" asked a flabbergasted representative from France.

"Ichika Orimura is not a commodity," she answered. "You cannot merely buy, sell, nor lease him."

"What about borrowing?" asked a representative from the United States.

"That is also out of question," she refuted. "As of now, I am not speaking as a representative of the ISA, but as an older sister. You cannot, while I am his legal guardian, use him as a sperm donor. And while I am aware that the legal age of consent in this Japan is 13, that does not make him a legal adult. Nor is he legally recognized as an adult."

"What if he were to be moved a country where he is a legal adult?" asked a representative from Britain.

"Dare to do so, and I'll resort to genocide to bring him back."

"Ms. Orimura," protested the representative from India. "You cannot be unreasonable. The male population is greatly reduced, and he is sole male that can operate an Infinite Stratos model. He can-"

"Be used as a breeding cow?" she interrupted. "A stallion? My brother is a human being, and I expect you to treat him as one. You cannot forcefully extract his sperm from him, nor will I allow it.

At this, the meeting went silent. Though many members wanted to protest this possessiveness, they could not risk being seen as more opportunistuc as any of their rivals.

Politics ws a precarious matter, and each person has the same goal:

Control Orimura Ichika.The boy was an enigma. Being a surviving male was rare enough. Piloting an IS made him one if a kind.

Scoring exemplary marks? He was priceless.

And they all wanted him.

"Now, if there's nothing to discuss anymore," declared Chifuyu. "I'm leaving.". With that, she exited the room viooently, tearing the door off the hinges.

At this, the representatives began eyeing one another, a mutual agreement coming between them. It was an unspoken alliance, onsthey knew had to occur for their ideals to be realized.

They needed to separate Ichika from his sister.

"Idiot," hissed Madoka, plunging another knife into Ichika's body. "Don't you know better than to play around with cows like her?"

Ichika was too weak to answer, instead merely settling for a light cough, while a steady stream of blood dripped out from his mouth. Whatever knives she stuck. into him seemed to have a cauterizing effect, as the blood flow stopped surprosngly fast, but reopened as soon as they were taken out

All in all, not a pleasant experience.

"You already had Neesan and me," she stated uncharacteristically. "Why on Earth would you need another woman in your life?"

"I'm... sorry."

"Sorry isn't going to cut it.". With that, she pulled down his pants. Ichika was to tired to resist.

"Maybe a little mark is needed to remind you how you are OUR property," she stated, as she lowered the knife onto his penis.

Ichika's world exploded with pain once more. He screamed and cried as the knife trailed tantalizingly from the base of his member to the tip, drawing forth a line of blood.

"Please," he whimpered. "No more."

"Shut the fuck up," she snarled. "This is a lesson to stay away from the others."

Once she had finished marking th trail, she licked the blood off, causing him to twitch in ecstasy and pain.

"You're actualy getting off off of this?" she asked in a feigned tone of disgust, though inwardly she was shivering with anticipation. "Such a freak deserves to be punished."

She straddled Ichika before putting the barrel of her gun on his head.

"Move."

"...Imouto, explain yourself."

After Madoka had raped her brother yet again, Chifuyu had walked into a familiar scene: Ichika's shallow breathing while exhausted from blood loss.

"I was just reminding him that he doesn't belong with others."

Chifuyu sighed, instead slapping some clothes onto Ichika and a Revival Band around his arm.

A Revival Band was, at first, nothing more than an elastic arm band. However, it was designed by Tabane to secrete regenerative hornones as well as promote stem cell growth and speed up regensration of the body.

It was a miracle marvel.

Used by the sisters, it was a way to keep Ichika from going to a hospital.

'Hmm,' idly wondered the older sister. 'No doubt Maya knows about his scars by now...that bitch can't keep her arms off of him...looks like it's time to pay a visit to Tabane to wipe some memories.'

She picked up her phone and stared at it, debating with herself if it was a good idea to put herself in Tabane's debt once more.

She'd probably use her favor to spend some alone time with Ichika again.

No matter. She was an easier target to deal with than Maya. Tabane spent most of her time hiding but Maya...they saw her everyday.

That was a risk she would not take.

She dialed Tabane's number and a few seconds later, the rabbit picked up.

"Hi hi, Chi-chan!"

"Shut the hell up, you damn rabbit."

"Mou, you're being mean to me again! And I just said hi!"

"Don't care. I need you to wipe out someone's memories."

"...How much are we talking about here?"

"Not much, just the last 24 hours."

"...Chichan...I know what you've been doing to Ikkun."

"And? A pervert like you was bound to find out anyways."

"...Chi-chan, I'll do it for free, but you have to promise that you'll take better care of Ikkun, okay?"

Chifuyu blinked.

She was not phased by Tabane knowing of their "family secret." That insufferable rabbit was bound to find out eventually.

What surprised her was how Tabane was not insulting her because of it.

"You'd waste your payment on such a trivial thing?"

"Chi-chan," replied Tabane, here voice eerily somber. "Ikkun cares a lot about you. He really loves you."

Hearing this, Chifuyu's hearts soared, delighted by the words.

Outwardly, though, her facade had no emotions.

"Are you done?" she demanded.

Tabane sighed. "Yeah, yeah, just use that teleporter I gave you a while ago and slap it on that person." Chifuyu gave a grunt of acknowledgement before waling to Maya.

"Oi, Yamada," she deadpanned. "You're taking a vacation. Now."

"Eh?!" Before Maya could react, she was hit with the teleporter and transported to Tabane.

"Oh? You're the one whose memory Chi-chan wanted erased? That's such a pity, look how big your boobs are! But that makes sense, Chi-chan doesn't like it when other women interfere in her brother's affairs."

As Tabane continued rambling on, Maya could only star confused at the rabbit woman, too distracted to notice the helmet descending on her head. The moment it touched her, she was knocked out.

"Ichika~" drawled out a voice, causing Chifuyu to snort in derision. Honestly, whenever she phoned one of them, it would inevitably result in this.

"Stay focused, Kuchiko," scolded Chifuyu. "How have things progressed?"

"Well..." teased the woman. "I'll tell you in exchange for a favor."

"What?"

"Hire me," she smiled Kuchiko.

"...Fair enough. Would have hired you irregardless. Well? Speak."

"Yokubo's winning over head politicians," began Kuchiko, her voice turning serious. "It won't be long before even the noble lions fall before the will of the Circe."

"Her IS, correct? I remember...mental warfare, wasn't it?"

"Yes, it excels in that aspect. Terrible fighter, but the best support."

"And Unmei?"

"She's slowly buying land and building upon it. Once the overhaul begins, we need a safe spot to keep our...'delicates'..., and she's got it covered."

"Good. It's nice to see the girl using her head for once instead of rushing straight in. And as for you, Kuchiko?"

"I'm training up servants. After all, our dear Ichika will need his caretakers, does he not? And an army to take care of the small fry never hurt anyone."

"Excellent. Can you report to work by next Monday?"

"I'll do you one better: I'll drop by tomorrow."

"And what will happen to the servants?"

"I have already formed subdivisions. They can take care of themselves. In fact, I can send two graduates over for you to evaluate them."

"Please do." A few seconds of keyboard keys tapping was heard.

"Alright, sent. And by the way, do remind Ichika of us, okay? It'd be so rude of him to forget." And with that Kuchiko cut off the call.

Meanwhile, Chifuyu looked at the files sent.

"Hmm...Squall and Autumn...let's see what you can bring for entertainment."

Ichika was in bliss and agony.

It hurt so much.

It felt so good.

And it only made him cry harder.

He would have welcome anything, anything, if he could be told by his sisters that they lover him.

Just once, he'd like to know that he truly mattered in their lives.

He sighed, finding the Revival Band on the wrist again. It was almost a habit now: wake up, remove the band, and shower off the crusted blood.

He mused that with all this abuse to his penis, he'd eventually become impotent, but evidently that wasn't the case.

Hissing as the water stung at his sore member, he groaned in relief as the shower began loosening up the stress in his shoulder blades.

'Madoka-nee's fetish is going to get me killed one day,' he joked.

He heard someone knocking at the door. Curious as to who would come to his room (or more specifically, his sister's room), he opened it.

"Ichika~," purred a voice. To Ichika, it was a familiar voice, but he couldn't recognize who it was. Upon seeing her face, however, Ichika's face began to pale with dread.

"Aww," pouted Kuchiko. "You're not happy to see me?"

"Nee-san will kill me if she sees me talking to you."

"Relax, darling~. Chifuyu already knows I'm here. In fact, she invited me here."

"But why?"

"Who knows?" teased Kuchiko. Don't you worry, I'm not going anywhere for a long time. In fact, the twins will be coming as well. Until then, you're all mine~." And with that, she gave Ichika a kiss

To Ichika, he was conflicted. He remembered some memories of spending time with Kuchiko, Unmei, and Yokubo. They treated him far more kindly than Chifuyu and Madoka did, though they took advantage of him just the same. Unmei in particular happened to be the roughest one, having scored first place in the amount of blood she made him lose during their moments together.

Honestly, at this point he wasnt surprised. His life was full of insane women who loved hurting him.

He'd never admit it, bur in a way, he loved it too.

Damn, this chapter took way too long. Writer's block is a bitch.
