Lady Seto, along with Seina and Ryoko Hakubi-Masaki had barley taken two steps in the door when Seina was cornered by Karen asking him, "Seina When do we get our dates?"

Taking a long slow breath Seina replied in a sotto tone, "You and your sisters come with me! He walked to the base of Yosho's sacred tree, Seina was not happy with the sisters and didn't want to embrace them publicly. Taking a seat beneath the tree Seina's demeanor changed, his voice changed from light and pleasant to a hard stern undertone, "Hakuren, Karen, and Suiren… your dates are forfeit"

Hakuren, Karen, and Suiren were about to complain when Seina held up a finger silencing them and said, "What did I say before we left Jurai"

Suiren replied in a small voice, "You told us we would all get a day with you"

Seina thought to himself, it figures the would only remember that he asked the sisters curtly, "What else did I tell you Suiren?"

"You said that anyone who intrudes on another wives date loses theirs" Gyokuren replied sharply.

Hakuren bellowed angrily, "Gyokuren intruded… why is she exempt?"

Crossing his arms over his chest Seina told Hakuren"I've already spoken to Gyokuren…" his tone changed to to a matter of fact tenor stating, "She was curious and wanted to see the famous space Pirate Ryoko Hakubi-Masak"

Narrowing his gaze on the three youngest of his wives Seina's voice suddenly shot up as he stated in a taut tone of voice, "IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH MY DATE."

The venom in the last half of the statement was palpable and Seina's body language changed, his shoulders slumped forward and bags were starting to form under his eyes as he said in a wheezy and wobbly tone, "I'm tired of all the games…"

"If your working that hard to prove you're the alpha female your not" Seina told them.

Taking a few steps down the stone path Seina turned to face them and said, "A true Alpha doesn't have to prove anything!"

Suiren stood there dumbfounded by his comment watching him walk off, she didn't have a snappy retort to his statement this time, Seina had beaten her in this war of words and she knew it.

Stopping at the opening to the clearing Seina told them, "It's time to grow up girls" he walked away.

Meanwhile back at the house Amane Kaunaq-Yamada asked her in small voice, "Lady Seto… If I can ever get my nausea under control…" Turning slightly crimson she looked at Lady Seto finishing statement saying, "Would you teach me how to cook?"

"Of course dear" Lady Seto replied.

Airi Masaki rounded the corner giving Amane a wink she said, "I can teach you to if you want…"

Absentmindedly rubbing her belly Amane told them, "I can't think of just myself anymore I have to think about my babes."

Both Lady Seto and Airi Masaki looked at Amane wide-eyed it was Airi that commented first saying, "babies?"

In a quite tenor Amane said, "Washu confirmed it… I'm having twins!"

Under her breath Amane stated in a soft voice, "Seina… you fertile bastard!"

The comment itself didn't go unnoticed by either Lady Seto or Airi both lightly chuckled.

It had been 20 minutes since he lectured the sisters about their misconduct and off in a corner Seina was comforting Neju who was dealing with the fact that she almost deliberately killed another human being. Sobbing Neju said, "Some priestess I am… I nearly killed a person out of fear!"

"On earth we call that being human… Besides you didn't kill him!" Seina told his wife softly.

"But I'm not human!" Neju stated emphatically.

"Neju… It's a way of saying cut yourself a break you're allowed to make mistakes." Seina told her.

"You didn't know about the tree" Seina told her, caressing her cheek he said,

Gazing at the floor he felt just a hint of guilt as Seina said, "I don't regret what I did"

Worry lines formed across Neju's forehead, as her head formed points as she said in a tremulous tone of voice, "You don't know what you did…" Leaning in so she could softly whisper in Seina ear she said, "I didn't bond to just the tree Seina, I bonded to the planet itself"

Later that evening the courtyard of Masaki temple was prepared due to the amount of people in attendance including Azusa Masaki Jurai and all his wives. Fortunately Seina parents managed to get a hold of at least three more turkeys, they would be needed as Kaunaq's- Yamada's family were in attendance along with Tenchi Masaki his wife and child, and there family and friends.

The very last person to appear was Noike Kamiki Jurai was escorting Mr. and Mrs. Kaunaq from Jurai itself and acting as their bodyguards.

Mihoshi Kuramitsu was also in attendance but like Noike she was drafted due to fact that the entire royal family and the Kaunaq family were in attendance she wasn't there as a guest but in her official capacity as a GP officer. Their Thanksgiving meal would have to wait until after their job was done.
