Chapter 5

Today was a day like any other, except it was a special day for Inuko. Today was the day that Inuko's would be undertaking an experimental procedure. Eversince Inuko was turned to a devil, she was prone to more rageful incidences and exposed to areas of high miasma from fighting stray devils. Exiled exorcised don't give off as much miasma, so Inuko's exposure level has been quite high. So Mizuki, over the phone, had proposed a method of demonic purification to keep Inuko in check even when she was away. If this works, they won't have to keep confinding her to bed and missing school days at crucial times. Currently, she was in a room on the second floor of the old school building, which is used by Akeno. It used to be a classroom, but now there is a tatami (Japanese flooring) on the floor, and it looks like a traditional Japanese room. There are symbols around the room that look like certain casting spells and there are also casting items in the room. She was waiting in the middle of the room wearing chest bindings and pants. She was already flat chested to begin with (snap! Ahem…) so she didn't bother wearing a bra. There's also a magic circle below the place she was sitting. Inuko notes that they had taken a lot of things into consideration in this ritual. Normally, she should be exposing her upper body as part of the ritual, but she was very conscious about showing her scars. The chest binding stays. No arguments. The door opened and someone entered the room. The person who appeared was Akeno with a white cloth on. She had her usual ponytail untied as well. Inuko couldn't help but think that she looks facinating and attractive! She smiled at her once, and then she quietly sat in front of Inuko very sacredly.

"The preparations are done. Now, we shall begin." Inuko couldn't help but stare at the white cloth that is covering Akeno's body is soaked with water… Her long black hair is also sticking to the cloth and it looks sexy. She can see her skin, her boobs, and her nipples! She was going to lose it. "Ara ara. Did something happen? You suddenly became quiet… Is something wrong with what I am wearing? The reason why it is soaked is because I put water onto myself for the ritual. Is it weird?" Akeno-san started to pat herself on her chest on purpose. It's affecting Inuko greatly.

"If I had to say, you are tempting me quite well, Akeno-san." Inuko says with a lot of will power. She notes that Akeno wasn't wearing anything besides the cloth, not even underwear. And she doesn't seem to be shy about it and isn't even trying to hide it! It's more like she is enjoying breaking Inuko's self control!

"Ufufu… Then let's start. Inuko-kun. Please give me your left arm."

"I will be in your care." Inuko raises her left arm.

"Part of your rage is associated with the dragon's aura. Therefore I will suck the dragon's energy directly from Inuko-kun's finger, pulling accumulated energy out of your left arm. If I do this, you won't be driven into insanity more often." Mizuki told them that part of her rage and insanity is associated with awakening her dragon, Ddraig. So Ddraig is part of her source of rage. So by sucking it out, the ritual is complete. In Inuko's case, her problem is solved by Rias and Akeno sucking the dragon's power through her finger.

'Yet I feel like you're going to do something else…..'

CHUP…

Making an obscene water sound, Akeno put Inuko's index finger into her mouth.

'…!' It was a sensation that she can't describe with words. Akeno's lips were soft, and the inside of her mouth was warm. Just the action alone of sucking her finger was almost driving her crazy.

CHUPI-CHUPA-CHURU

'You're doing this on purpose?!' Inuko inwardly shouts. While sucking her finger, Akeno was making obscene sounds on purpose. It's as if she was enjoying herself at breaking Inuko's retraint on herself! Inuko's face was already red. And she was definitely enjoying this and saving the memory for eternity. But she has limits…..

LICK.

"Ah!" Inuko accidentally slipped my voice. That's because Akeno suddenly licked her finger! She started to swirl around my finger with the tip of her tongue! When Inuko looked, Akeno had a naughty face and it looked like the sadist personality of hers got turned on. The finger that came out of her mouth had a thread of Akeno's saliva.

"Ara ara. If you make a cute reaction like that, then I feel like giving you more service."

"Please don't…." Inuko manages to say.

"But I don't think it's a bad thing to adore my kouhai." Akeno started to suck the finger again and put her body closer towards Inuko. By ignoring Inuko's pathetic rejection (she can't really push a girl aside at the right moment….), Akeno put a smile on and hugged her! Inuko can smell the nice smell of her silky black hair! No, she can smell a fragrance from Akeno's body that drove her body insane!

BUHAA!

There was blood coming out of her nose! Of course! Even in a situation like this, it was bound to happen. Akeno whispered into her ears while Inuko was stiff like a rock.

"Even I act like this, I have a great liking towards you, Inuko-kun."

"Why?" Inuko tried in vain to stop the bleeding.

"Yes. First I thought of you as a cute junior. But it's different lately. In the fight against the Phenex last time. I saw you standing despite the fearsome fire he put you through. And even when your armor shattered, and you were burned beyond, you still stood and defended Buchou." Inuko knew she was talking about the rating game. "And you came to the engagement party to save Buchou. You even defeated Phenex who is said to be immortal. Even I will be aroused if I see a man fighting wonderfully like that."

"I'm no man, Akeno-san." Akeno-san looked directly at her and chuckled.

"Ufu. I know." And she moved closer to Inuko again. "Even if you're not a man, sometimes I think about you and the area around my breast gets hot. And I can't help it. But when I try to make you enjoy something like this, the instinct of a bully inside me rises… Is this love?"

"…" Inuko knew the answer but wouldn't give it easily. "Perharps….."

"But if I lay my hands on you, Rias might get mad. That person…truly sees you… Ufufu, you are a sinful woman, Inuko-kun." Inuko pushed her again.

"You're right, Akeno-san." And she goes to retrieve her shirt. "And that is why I will not touch her." Akeno never heard Inuko with such a sad tone. Then she put her arms around Inuko's neck. And she purposely exposed her body!

"Then, do you want to have an affair with me?"

"An affair!?"

"Ufufufu. I will keep quiet about what's going to happen now from Buchou and Asia-chan. Exciting, isn't it? A secret between us."

DRIP DRIP DRIP DRIP

The nosebleed came back and didn't seem to stop.

"I also want to experience at least once. To get devoured with lust. I also have masochism within me as well. I think it's about a good time for having you inside me now for once."

"Akeno-san, are you perhaps…?"

"Yes, I'm a virgin. Ufufu. Inuko-kun would be more experienced so I would be happy if you lead me."

"No, thank you." Akeno made a shocked expression at the reply. Inuko stopped her nosebleed.

"Ara? That's a big surprise. Do you not find me attractive?"

"I find highly attractive and highly dangerous for my health. But I won't touch you."

"Ara ara. Then you would prefer Buchou?"

"I haven't even touched her." The confession surprised Akeno.

"Is Buchou taking it slow? Then have you done it with Asia-chan?"

"I haven't touched her either."

"If it's Inuko-kun, I thought that Buchou would have given you a "big treat" every night… This is certainly surprising."

"Please, like my Nee-chan would allow me such delicious things." At Akeno's confused face, Inuko explains. "She put me on celibacy. I can't take a girl even I wanted to."

"?!" That was news. "Inuko-kun. Don't you want to do it with either of them?"

"Sure. But I follow my sister before my master." She buttons her shirt. "Besides it's not like she clearly said anything."

"Poor you…Ara ara. Then both of you are slow at these things… I'm sure you could do it if you were willing to do it, but it seems that Mizuki-san put a high hurdle… Then it seems like I can't take your purity without her permission."

"Don't even try." Inuko says the door opened. When Inuko looked in that direction, Rias was there staring with angry eyes.

"Akeno. What's the meaning of this?" Rias approached them with an unpleasant voice. She was mad.

"Ufufu. I was just scattering the power of the dragon." Akeno answered unconcernedly. She had her smile on.

"…Is that so? But no matter how you look at it…weren't you trying to do something beyond that?"

"Ara ara. I wasn't thinking of doing it."

"Even if you weren't, there is a limit. Even I haven't…"

"Isn't that because you are taking it slow? It might be good reading a book about it, but it won't go as smoothly as in the manual."

"…"

"…" They weren't glaring at each other but Rias and Akeno-san were looking at each other in the eyes.

"Knock it off." Inuko dispelled their fight. "Now excuse me." Inuko was about to leave when Rias grabbed her.

"Inuko. It seems like you were having fun. Did you get close to the Akeno-onee-sama that you admire so much?" Inuko freed her head and answered.

"Yes. But I still can't touch either of you period." Then she leaves Rias and Akeno.

"What did she mean…?" Akeno just smiles sadly.

"It seems you and Asia will have it rough."

"What do you mean, Akeno?"

"Rias, she was put on celibacy by her sister."

"?!"

The walk home was quite, for many reasons. One, Rias found out about her celibacy. Two, Asia was still trying to figure out how to talk to Inuko after learning her past that she hid. Three, Inuko was just plain annoyed at all these situations she was getting into and just wanted a drink.

"I-Inu-san-"

"We're home." Inuko announces as they were home. When she tried to open the front door, she felt something bad.

SHIVER…

GRIP.

Asia grabbed her hand with her shaking hands. It seems like Asia also felt something unpleasant. Rias gripped her arm, as if telling her not to open the door. But Inuko sensed the precesence and realized who was there.

"Try not to make a scene, you two." She opened the door. She could hear laughter at the living room. Inuko could make out one familiar girl and one unfamiliar girl and Nina who was laughing while showing videos.

"And Nii-chand won that hot dog eating contest. Eating 40 dogs in 10 minutes was a really doozy."

"Nina, don't show them my videos." Nina looked up when she realised they were there.

"Welcome back, Nii-chan, Rias-neechan, Asia-neechan. What happened? They look pale."

"They're just surprised by our guests." Inuko looks at them. They were both young foreigners with a Rosario hanging around their chest. Both of them looked about Inuko's age. One had chestnut colored hair and the other one had blue hair with a green mesh and scary eyes. Both of them were quite beautiful. But by the way they behaved even you could tell they were no ordinary people. Both of them were wearing a white robe. They were definitely members of the Church.

"Hello, Inuko Kusanagi-kun." The woman with chestnut hair smiled at Inuko. Next to her was the girl with green mesh and there was a weapon covered in cloth next to her. Inuko raises an eyebrow at the clothed weapon.

'They actually brought an Excalibur in my house…no there are two but where's the other one? Oh well…..' Then she smiles at the chestnut haired girl. "Nice to meet you again, Iri-chan." The girl was happy.

"You remember me! I'm so glad."

"How can I forget a cute girl like you, Iri-chan?"

"Stop~. Flattery gets you nowhere." But this 'Iri-chan' was very happy at those words.

"And you." Inuko addresses the other girl. "Don't put your weapon on the couch please. It's bad manners to do such things." The girl doesn't move for a while, then complies and put the clothed weapon on the table. "Better." Then she looks to the surprised Rias and Asia. "Allow me to introduce, this is Irina Shidou. She's my childhood friend, the one who left for Germany. That time she was a real tomboy, acted very much like a boy. Now she's a proper lady. Time reeaaally treated her well."

"Whereas you're still the same crossdressing tomboy, I-chan." She giggles. "It can't be helped since I was a troublemaker just like the boys in those days. But it seems like we both have changed in the time we didn't see each other. Really. You can't tell what can happen in a reunion."

"Fate is a strange thing. Even I can say that with all honesty."

"Is everyone alright?!" Sona barges into the house. She had reports for two people form the Church coming into this house.

"Hi, So-tan." Inuko greets her from her seat. Rias was sitting beside Asia. The older girl had finally calmed down, but Asia was quite shaken from their encounter with the two members of the Church. They sat there with Rias trying to calm her and Asia being coddled by Raiko. A nice calming cup of tea for each was on the table. Nina was in the kitchen, getting dinner ready. Irina and the other girl had left the house after talking for 30 minutes. She had come to Japan after a long time. She apparently came here because it's the town she lived in as a child. She said that she went to England because of her parents' work, which was an obviously Church duty. Seeing them frozen, Inuko made sure Rias and Asia did not to get too involved with them and left the talking to herself and Nina. Especially since Asia didn't want to get in contact with people related to the Church. Inuko forced them to wait in her room until they were out. "No worries, no one was harmed." Sona breathes a sigh or relief.

"Thank goodness…" She took a seat in between beside Asia and consoled her with Rias. Seika came to hand her a cup of tea.

"The worst has passed. I guess for them. But you're here with news aren't you?"

"Yes, I had met those two at noon, they want to negotiate with you, Rias. The devil Rias Gremory, who has this town as her territory."

"The people from the Church want to negotiate with a devil?" Sona nods at Rias' question.

"…I'm not sure what they are planning, but they are planning to come to your club room after school tomorrow. They apparently promised God that they won't attack you."

"Can you believe them?" Asia asks.

"Yes." Inuko replies. "We have to believe in their belief since they are the believers of God and they are coming to request something from devils, when we are supposed to be evil beings to them. You should know that more than anyone, Asia." Then turns her attention to Sona again. "Anything you can tell us of why there even here." Sona takes a sip of her tea before answering.

"They seem to be under pressure and it's certain that it's trouble. I have a bad feeling about this… From their story, the priests that come to this town keep getting killed." Rias's eyes became sharp and she had a serious face. Inuko frowned.

"Seika-nee." The maid came to her side. "Find out what's going on." Inuko pins something on her. "As always, use any means necessary, but be discreet."

"Yes, Inuko-sama."

"Wait, Seika-neechan." Nina stops Seika from leaving, handing her a bento box. "Here, make sure you eat."

"Thank you, Nina-sama." And off she goes. Nina returned to the kitchen. Inuko gets up to set the table.

"Sona, stay for dinner and I'll take you home later."

"Inuko….?"

"As far as I can tell from you, it is not safe for a devil to be walking alone."

That night, Inuko was enjoying a nice bath. Compared to every other room in the house that was standard size, the bathroom was the largest room in the house. The bathtub was already the swimming pool. The Kusanagi family really loved lounging in a hot tub. With a one way window ceiling, they had a perfect view of the night sky.

'Sake and a nice bath…..' Inuko thinks as she took a sip of the cold sake from the floating table. 'What more can I want?' Suddenly she heard noises from the changing rooms. 'Who…? …?!...No way?!' Inuko tried to get out of the bath…..

"I-Inu-san…" Too late, Asia was already in. Completely naked except for the towel wrapped around her. And she wasn't the only one who came.

"So this was where you were, Inuko."

'Like you didn't know, Buchou….' Inuko mentally sighs. 'They got me good…..' Rias came in a towel as well. But it only covered her front. Inuko was, despite the disturbance, enjoying the sight.

"If you're coming in, I'll be going then." Inuko tries to get out but was stopped.

"U-Um….I don't mind at all…." Asia meekly says.

"You were enjoying your drink, right? Don't let us stop you. We'll join you as soon as we finished showering." They left for the shower cubicles.

'Man they really got me good….' Since this was the Kusanagi bathroom, there were no curtains or obstructing glass door to the shower. So Inuko got a good view of their nude forms as they were showering together. 'Too succulent….' She was drooling.

[Partner!]

'Ddraig.' Inuko makes a mental note. 'Do whatever it takes for me not to take them.'

[Roger that.] Inuko was busy at enjoying her sake when she felt the water change and heard a splash. She opened her eyes to Rias as she was leaning to her body.

"This is nice. I've always wanted to take a bath with you just once, Inuko."

"Was it what you hoped?"

"…." Rias rested her head on Inuko's shoulders, running a hand on some of the scars on her other shoulder. "Of course. If possible, I want to do this everyday." Inuko grabbed that hand.

"Don't lie, Buchou." Inuko lets go to get another sip. "Plenty of my ex girlfriend clients have already told me that I have such a broken body they wouldn't even stand taking a bath with me. I don't deny that." Rias was slightly mad. One, because Inuko had taken a job as a pretend boyfriend, remembering that had led to her death. The other was that someone had the audacity to tell her servant that she had a broken body. She was going to kill those people. Asia came soon after embrassing Inuko from her other side.

"Hau….Buchou-san got ahead of me. But I don't want to give up." Inuko sighs as she pours herself another cup, just to see there was none left.

"Hmmm. Out of sake….." She bangs on the tile floor, and the other tile floor rose up to show a mini fridge. Inuko opened it and took out another cold bottle of sake. She refills her glass. "Did you girls really wanted to take a bath with me? It's nothing that special." She touches her scars. "At the very least you would have enjoyed it more if you didn't have to see this ugly body of mine." Buchou and Asia were sad at those words.

"Inu-san's body is not ugly." Inuko chuckles.

"Asia-chan, you don't have to-" Rias grabs her face.

"Inuko, if we say your body is beautiful, then it is. Will you think my words are a lie?" Inuko stares deeply into Rias' eyes then smiles in defeat.

"You win, both of you." She goes back to staring at the sky. "…..Thank you." Rias and Asia were happy for such words as they leaned on her body. 'Sake and a nice bath…..' Inuko muses. 'And two wonderful girls. What more can I want?'

After the bath, Inuko smoked a bit of her kiseru and went to the bedroom. After tucking in Hitohime in her hanging nest, she went to get ready for bed.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

"….." Inuko know who it was. "…Come in, Buchou." Rias happily comes in, wearing a pink see-though lingerie.

"Can I sleep with you tonight? I promise not to sleep in nude tonight."

'And yet you're wearing see-through. Thank god she wore panties.' Inuko thinks as she saw Rias's boobs swaying with her movements. "Wait a bit." A few seconds later…..

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.

"You can come in too, Asia-chan." Asia steps in wearing a light blue pajamas and holding on her sleep doll. She sees Rias.

"…..Hau…..I lost again.."

"Asia, let me be clear. Inuko is my servant and my family. She's my Inuko." She grabs onto Inuko. "Therefore, she should be sleeping with me."

"No, I want to sleep with Inu-san as well." Asia lunges for Inuko's other side. Inuko sighs.

"I'll sleep with both of you. So please let me get ready." Rias and Asia let her go as she puts away her kiseru and strips to her pajamas. Out of all the small scars on her Inuko, Rias and Asia were wide eyes at the two long scars than ran parallel on her back, as if she had wings and was clipped. Inuko could feel their eyes on it. "Those aren't surgical scars."

"?"

"They're scars from a whipping. It seemed that those two still remained." Rais tried to touch it, but was stopped when Inuko grabbed the hand. "Please don't. They're annoying enough as is." She puts on her pajamas and slips to bed. The two follow and were in Inuko's embrace. Asia fell fast asleep to the warm embrace and the slight incense smell from when Inuko smoked. But Rias could see Inuko was still awake.

"Can't you sleep?"

"You must have heard from Nee-chan that I don't need it." Rias remember that talk. "I try to sleep just to get a sense of normalcy." Inuko strokes Rias' hair. "You need sleep though. So go ahead."

"I'll keep you company just a little while longer then."

"….." Inuko regards her. "Buchou?"

"Yes?"

"Whatever happens in the next few days, please believe."

"Inuko…?"

"Please believe that I will make it better."
