A/N: I thought about putzing around for a few more chapters. But then I remember that I intended this as a short story. So time sped up a bit and this is the conclusion. I should also note that this is my first multi chapter story to be finished. Yay for me! In any case thanks goes out to Elder Master again for the beta and to the people who have read this to completion. Also to ROmantic Mode. Gundam OP themes can motivate it seems.
(Aries: Hexagon: Conference Room I)
"Again, I am eternally sorry. Somehow delegates from the Regressive Party received this duty. On the behalf of the Republic and the people of Aries I extend our deepest apologies." Spoke the cleanly dressed man that sat across from Sifr. Though from the presence of a young woman behind him in a formal uniform, this was no normal congressman.
"I see, well then 'it' would all appear to be settled. Would it not?" Sifr said in her best political voice.
"Yes, there was never any desire to change the treaty. Those three buffoons are being dealt with. Accosting a foreign delegate is a very serious crime. I am also hoping that Garderobe will not see this as an assault either." The man said contritely as the young woman behind him smiled slightly.
"I see no reason to file a grievance against Aries within the High Court of Garderobe. But I am required by certain sections of both Otome law and council provisions to file a report. There may still be an investigation. Though it is unlikely at this point, the Acting Headmistress will likely be satisfied with how things are being handled 'in house' as it were." Rena stated as the man nodded.
"That is to be expected. Acting Headmistress Graceburt is even known by us to be a no-nonsense woman." The man acquiesced.
"Though, Mr. President, I signed the agreement this morning. Why have you requested my presence?" Sifr asked still not being fully aware of the 'dance' of politics.
"There have been … uneasy voices within my party and my cabinet. The vast majority of the Arian powerbase does not wish to damage relations with either Windbloom or Garderobe. We have achieved balance for the first time in nearly one hundred years. It is not something that we wish to toss away on the wishes of a few 'honored' congressmen." The President said as he rose to his feet. Rena lightly tapped the base of Sifr's chair with her foot. As Sifr snapped to her feet, Rena could see the woman standing behind the politician chuckling.
"I-Indeed!" Sifr said as the political mask fell from her face for a moment. As Sifr shook the hand of the President several flashbulbs went off nearly causing her to go blind.
"Then I will conclude our business. Good day." The president said as he walked out, his Otome following a few slow steps behind him.
"Seems you have your Master trained well Rena-chan." The woman said as she crossed over Rena's side.
"They never told us that we had to teach our Masters ourselves, though it was by your good tutoring that I retained anything at all, Alice Onee-sama." Rena replied with a light smile.
"Oh don't be so silly Rena! You are embarrassing me. Should I bring up what happened shortly after you became my 'attendant?" Alice replied as she notice Sifr's ears perk up, as if to hear some particularly good fodder.
"Onee-sama! …" Rena exclaimed before realizing how loud she was. " … Onee-sama, I thought you swore never to bring that to light." Rena said blushing profusely.
"I did, I just enjoy stirring you up. But the blushes when you were a Coral were more than enough. I do hope that Elliot-kun is treating you well. Meanwhile I'll become a spinster. It was nice to see you again Rena-chan." Alice said with a smile as she rounded the corner.
"What was she talking about, Rena? What happened when you were a Coral?" Sifr said as she seemed to come back to life.
"We have a transport to catch, Master." Rena said as she seemingly pulled Sifr out of her chair and guided her out the door.
"It must have really been something. Ow!" Sifr said as she felt a knuckle to the back of her head.
(Aries: Hexagon: Main Communications Center)
"I will be returning on the transport to leave in a few hours. I should be back to give my report in twenty-four hours." Elliot reported into the microphone in front of her.
"It is surprising that the report was incorrect on who was to retire. No matter …" Maria said with a pause from the other end. "In any case, as you will be back before the start of the week, I will require your report two days earlier."
"Understood. Also Meister Lukten sends her regards." Elliot said as she was sure she could hear something on the other end that sounded like creaking.
"I see. I think that will be all Meister Chandler." Maria said from the other end. After the closing 'click' Elliot removed the small clamp from her GEM. Though she was surprised at the reaction of Miss Maria at the mention of the older woman she had met a few days before. Not putting much more thought into it, Elliot rose from the chair, pushed it in, collected her folders and left the room. As she turned the corner she ran into a familiar face.
"Leaving so soon, Devil?" Cynthia said as she pushed off the wall to face Elliot.
"As much as I would like to stay, my duties are finished." Elliot said half seriously.
"So it wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that the princess is departing this evening? You needn't use such silly excuses with me, Girl." Cynthia said as she reached across and ruffled Elliot's hair.
"I am sorry; you will not have anyone to occupy your boredom. I would stay but …" Elliot was cut off with a waving motion.
"One thing I don't need is someone here who can get the better of me. I have Ayeka to keep me occupied. If you were left here, I fear that time might actually catch up with me." Cynthia said with a wise smile.
"Oh? I didn't know you were still running." Elliot said only to get her cheek pinched.
"You're luck is about to run out, Devil. Ask my dearest, I am not one to be annoyed." Cynthia said in mock annoyance.
"You say that and yet you are the Obaa-san." Elliot playfully prodded.
"Obaa-san … I think that term has been flying around far too much lately." Cynthia said as she pulled on Elliot's cheek harder.
"You can't blame the girl for speaking the truth." A voice said from behind Cynthia.
"Hmph." Cynthia said as she released Elliot's cheek. After Elliot's head returned to level she saw the woman from two nights ago standing behind Cynthia. Elliot's face automatically grimaced.
"It seems this one remembers me. She is quite cute when aggravated. Ouch!" Ayeka said as she hunched over from being punched in the stomach.
"I see that you have met my Ayeka." Cynthia said with a grin.
"Unfortunately." Elliot said with a faux smile.
"Apparently that joke doesn't sit well." Ayeka stated.
"How can it? You were manhandling my Rena!" Elliot's fists balled up at her sides as her anger blossomed.
"I don't think you know the whole story, Devil. You see, Ayeka had asked your better half for a dance before she realized that she belonged to another. Try as a might, I can't seem to keep her corralled." Cynthia looked over at Ayeka with a sharp glance.
"When I noticed you I did not want you to get upset with Lady Rena. So I pretended to manhandle her so that you would be angry at me. Perhaps I took my part too seriously." Ayeka said with a slight laugh.
Elliot found the story believable, but she kept a skeptical expression. "I see. Well. Good day to both of you." Having said her farewell, Elliot turned on a dime with the efficiency and grace that would only be possible for an Otome. As she left a slight smile crossed her face.
"Oh dear, I think you've set that child up in the end after all." Cynthia said.
"What makes you say that?" Ayeka asked as she offered her arm to her partner.
"Oh, a woman knows. That poor Rena is in for it." Cynthia said as she accepted the arm.
"That Rena is more durable then you think. I say both of them are evenly matched." Ayeka said as they walked to a doorway.
"Oh, to be that young again." Cynthia stated as they headed further down the hall.
"Stop that." Ayeka nattered as they disappeared from view.
(Windbloom: Fuka Castle: Quarters of Meister Sayers)
"I did not think we would get back this early. It's getting light out again." Elliot said as she gazed out the window. The transport ride had been less then twenty-four hours. More likely because it was a military ship that made no stops.
"Elliot." Rena said from behind.
"Yes?" Elliot found herself facing Rena directly as the latter gazed upon her with a need. Rena had begun to breathe more heavily, as her hands slowly reached down for the hem of her slip.
She could see Elliot blushing as she pulled the garment up and over her head. Rena now exposed the set of undergarments that she had taken out that morning. Elliot's memory reminded her of a similar set as Rena's legs shifted as if trying to rub one another. Elliot's eyes slowly took in Rena's figure as they moved from her bust, down to her toned stomach, and then to the area just below. She could see the sheen of moisture as she moved down. Rena's legs shifted again as Elliot's gaze shot back up to her red face.
"Please, I don't think I could stop it now." Rena said as she looked away slightly. Over time it had been hard for Rena to ask for anything. In the beginning, she couldn't even speak and was very embarrassed by her body's reactions. The instances had been few where she actually asked to be made love to, but even then it had been difficult for her.
"Rena…" Elliot spoke softly as she took her love into her arms and held her tightly. A hot gasp had escaped Rena's throat. She hoped Elliot wouldn't take too long because at this rate she would not last. Rena reached down and allowed Elliot's skirt to join the rest of her clothes.
Elliot then slid her hands down Rena's backside, causing a yelp as she released the stockings from the garters. The texture of the white lace was relaxing, but it too would have to go. That thought in mind, she then removed the belt tossing it to the floor.
Rena then returned the favor by kneeling before Elliot and softly pulled her stockings down and off, before reaching up to feel the soft flesh of her thighs.
"You are such a tease … Rena." Elliot said in-between slight breaths. The two then stood before one another with undeniable need. And it didn't take long for the first move to be made.
Rena slid her hand around Elliot's back, released the pressure of the bra clasp, and allowed Elliot's bust to sway of its own accord. Rena giggled as she massaged the soft flesh in her hands, causing Elliot to gasp and move. After she removed the implement completely, one hand slid down and into Elliot's matching panties. Rena's fingers traced and massaged firmly, before one slid further causing Elliot to cry out.
"I've been denying you. So you should … first." Rena said with a blush as she looked into Elliot's eyes before withdrawing her finger. As she slowly cleaned it off, Elliot could only think of what was to come. She had waited so long. It was less common for Rena to be so forward. Her body could only quiver as the need to be touched overwhelmed her.
She walked a few steps backwards until her hands met the table. Her fingers gripped onto the edge of it as Rena followed. The latter had already removed the remainder of her clothes which made Elliot frown, but seeing Rena's breasts quickly erased the annoying thought.
As Rena knelt, Elliot's mind began to swim. As her panties slid off of her hips and then down her legs, the thought of being exposed drove Elliot insane. As she felt Rena grasp her calves, her whole body shook. As her legs slid over Rena's shoulders and she moved closer, Elliot's core began to throb. Rena looked up at her and Elliot could only nod shakily.
As the hot flesh of Rena's tongue pushed into Elliot, she could only gasp as she was penetrated. As her walls bear down and pushed forward, they tried in vain to push Rena out. But Rena didn't relent and lapped harder as Elliot's head slid back and her vision crossed the ceiling. Soon after her eyes closed, as every sensation at her mound only continued to build heat and make her hotter. It was as if her core steamed as the sweat rolled down her stomach only to feel cool below.
Rena continued to be relentless, exposing every inch of Elliot's hot flesh, pushing, licking, lapping and sucking. The latter could only cry out in varying tones and gasps, which only urged Rena on. Rena could feel Elliot's orgasm coming as she was being pushed harder and harder by Elliot's insides.
"Rena… I'm…!" Elliot thrust her hips up in an arch. She dug her heels into Rena's back as she felt her legs cramping. Her eyes rolled back and Elliot could no longer see as her body locked. Rena leaned away, watching as Elliot screamed her name, before she lay back heavily on the table.
"You really came hard Elliot, my back is killing me." Rena teased after a giggle. After she stood up and guided a spent Elliot into their bed, Rena climbed in from the other side.
"I'm sorry Rena … I didn't mean to be a pain last night." Elliot said as her breathing calmed. She couldn't feel her legs as they shifted, however she could feel remnants of her climax pulse across her senses, causing her vision to momentarily blur.
"You are not a pain, Elliot." Rena said as she pulled closer allowing Elliot to rest her head on her chest.
"That was pretty wild Rena, even for you. I shall redouble my efforts next time." Elliot said in mock seriousness causing Rena to chuckle.
"I'll be waiting." Rena said with a wink as Elliot passed onto sleep. Rena quietly stroked Elliot's hair as she too fell asleep.
