Shine 2

Disclaimer: I own nothing.


Sighing softly as she looked at the egg, Filia felt like crying, screaming, hitting something and doing nothing at all.

It wasn't because Val's egg was causing her problems, and she sure was glad that she didn't need to sit on it like a chicken did, it was because she couldn't help but remember, so often, just how... Alone she felt at times. It wasn't the lack of companionship, Chrono, Amy, Lindy and any visitors that showed up gave her plenty of that.

It was the lack of familiar presences in the world. This world was so... Weird and dull. Magic was almost non-existent, though Lina assured her that there was more than she knew, and all this technology made her jittery at times. Lights? Television? Computers? Cell Phones? Hot and cold running water?

...Okay, that last one was pretty nice, she would admit.

"Hey, Filia." The blonde blinked as she heard Chrono's voice. Turning, she smiled as he walked in. "What's wrong?" He sat down on the bed next to her and smiled softly.

"Huh?" She blinked in confusion. "What do you..."

"You've spent all day in here and you don't do that unless you're upset about something." Chrono looked at Val's egg and tilted his head. "He's okay, isn't he?"

Filia nodded at that question, before sighing softly. "It's just... One day, Val's going to wonder how come there's no Dragons his age to play with. And why my Dragon form looks different from his. What do I tell him? "Oh, sorry, my people killed yours off years ago and I'm looking after you to keep you safe from them and make up for what they did." What would he say?" She gasped as Chrono, who was starting to go through a growth spurt, hugged her suddenly. Before, she would have been pulled down if he hugged her, now he was as tall as she was when both were sitting down, well, maybe he was a tad taller, but not much. When standing up, she was still taller.

"Dunno... The best you can do is just hope that he cares for you enough not to be so angry." Chrono mentally cursed as he felt Filia shudder and hug him tightly. "Sorry, I... I don't know what to say."

"Just... Just shut up." Filia said as she twisted her body and pulled Chrono down onto the bed. "Just shut up and hold me right now."

Chrono nodded and gulped as Filia lay on top of him partially, which he was thankful for, if she was on him entirely, he would probably be crushed due to her weight. Her tail was moving around behind her in an agitated fashion. Chrono did wonder why she decided to go with blue jeans and a blue short-sleeved shirt, but he wasn't complaining, they did mold to her body in just the right way.

Though, she did have to wear her pants a bit low for her tail to peek out, or cut a hole in the back.

He wasn't sure if he should be thankful that she was wearing them low this time around. When it moved in just the right spot, he could see the curvature of her rear and...

"Just what are you looking at?" Filia asked him, her eyes narrow.

Chrono gulped, he knew that she could do crazy things when upset, though thankfully she kept most of her more violent tendencies to a minimum. She let Amy do anything violent. "Um... Your pants are low."

"I know that!" Filia hissed as she sat up, practically straddling him, and put her hands on her hips. "I don't like cutting holes in the back of my pants for my tail, because when I hide my tail, people get a free look at my underwear and I don't like that." Her face turned red and she looked down. "Um..."

Chrono looked down too and blushed as well. "Uh... Sorry..."

It was at that moment that Amy popped into the room. "Oh, hey, there you two..." She trailed off as she saw their flushed faced and the position that they were in. "...If you two were doing that," she huffed irritably, "you should have at least locked the door."

"Um, we weren't..." Filia said, still, she wasn't moving and Amy blinked, before shrugging, walking in and closing the door behind her. "Amy?" She yelped as the brunette tackled her onto the bed, thankfully it was reinforced, since Filia was a lot heavier than she looked, and hugged the two of them tightly. "Um..."

"If you're going to do that... You should have invited me." Amy grinned as the two of them blushed heavily. "Now then... Just what were you two doing if not that?" She might have liked Filia a lot more than she did back on that mission, but she wasn't going to lose Chrono to her. Not without a fight.

At least Chrono wasn't so serious all the time these days, it made it a lot more fun to tease him.


Lindy chuckled as she heard a thump come from upstairs. "Oh my... It seems that Amy's having fun with Chrono and Filia." Both Rein and Hayate looked at her in confusion. "Don't worry about it, so, why did you two come on over here?"

"Daddy needed to work her legs and I wanted to play with Zaffy!" Zwei threw her hands wide before zipping over to the wolf and hugging him. "Wolfie ride! Wolfie ride!"

"You do know that I'm not a wolf, right?" Zafira asked her, though he wasn't angry about what she said, just curious.

"Zaffy is Zaffy." Rein stated as she got to his head. "I wanna ride in the back yard."

Hayate and Lindy both laughed and Zafira rolled his eyes, but got up and walked to the back yard for the youngest girl in the family.

"So, um, Lindy..." Hayate looked at her and the green-haired woman blinked in confusion. "Lately, I've not felt too good... Um, I think something might be..." She trailed off as Lindy just smiled at her. "What?"

"Well, Hayate, I think you might need a few things explained to you..."

When Lindy was done, Hayate was blushing red, before she fell over, her eyes swirling. Lindy blinked and wondered if maybe she should have held back the explanation about how sex really worked.


Later...

"Is daddy okay?" Rein Zwei asked after coming back into the house with Zafira and seeing Hayate on the couch, out cold.

"Hmm?" Lindy popped her head into the living room. "Oh, she'll be fine, I said something that was shocking to her, she just needs time to recover."

"Oh." Rein nodded before moving to Hayate and sitting on the sleeping girl's belly and smiling as she lay down and closed her eyes. "I love my daddy."

Watching that, Zafira and Lindy both smiled as Zwei let out a soft sigh of contentment. The little Unison Device was rather relaxing when she wanted to be.

Of course, when she was feeling energetic, it was hard to keep up with her.

Lindy was about to say something when the phone rang. "Hello?" Her eyes widened, before narrowing. "Alright." Hanging up her cell phone, she sighed and looked at Zafira. "We may have a problem." Seeing his confused look, she clarified. "It seems we have at least two powerful Mazoku running around on Earth, maybe more." Zafira winced, the last time there was a powerful Mazoku running around...

"What should we do?"

"Keep an eye on Hong Kong and keep a look out for any powerful magic that may get used." Lindy sighed and hoped that what Nanoha had told her was true, and that they were just on vacation, and not here to cause trouble.

"That's all?" Zafira looked at her critically.

"Yes, one of them helped us defeat Dark Star, so, we keep an eye out for weird things, but do nothing unless he does something to warrant it."

Zafira nodded, but grimaced. He didn't like this plan, not at all. Who knew what these Mazoku would do if they were allowed to roam free?


Meanwhile...

Zelas blinked, she felt the sudden urge to sneeze, before shrugging it off and leaning back to enjoy the show before her.

It may have taken her more than a few hours, but she managed to get the television on. These news shows that were on all the time were quite entertaining. Seeing so much misery, corruption, and greed in the world...

"If our world was like this back home, even low-level Mazoku would have become a threat to people." She muttered and shook her head. The sheer miasma from this city alone was nearly getting her drunk, she couldn't imagine what it was like for Xellos, wherever he was right now.

Picking up a small square box with a bunch of buttons on it, she pushed one. Her eyes widened as she saw the images on the television change from news to...

"Oh yes! Oh yes! Oh yes!"

Zelas blinked several times and tilted her head. "Humans on this world watch other humans have sex for entertainment?" A small grin came to her face. She was liking this world more and more.


"Well, anyway, we'll be keeping an eye out for any unusually large spikes of power and just hope that the Mazoku aren't trying to destroy the world." The only reason Lindy wasn't having the Arc En Ciel fire on Hong Kong was because of Xellos helping them save everything back in that world.

She just hoped that she wouldn't come to regret this decision.


Elsewhere...

Yuuno groaned as he flopped, face-first, down onto the ground. "Ugh..." Getting a handle on his Holy power was easy. Figuring out how to use it without shutting off access to the rest of his power was an entirely different matter. The problem was that Holy magic behaved differently from everything else, being a force of nature, it didn't want to be controlled, it wanted to move freely. And trying to force his will over it just caused it to slip away on him, but just using it left him vulnerable. Sure, he was stronger with it, but the loss of his other spells made it harder for him to use magic the way he was used to.

Fate looked at him worriedly. "Come on, you don't need to..."

"I need to figure this out..." Yunno muttered as he pushed himself up. "At the very least, I need to be able to swap between Vrabazard's power and my own power at will."

Fate smiled softly and helped him up. "I'm sure you'll figure it out. After all, if it wasn't for you, none of us would have ever figured out how to use mother's style of magic as well as we can."

Yuuno smiled at her softly, before blinking as she looked into the air with a slightly wistful expression on her face. "...Anything wrong?"

"Just thinking... What it would be like if Lina-mama hadn't gone up against Precia-mama back then... Would she have made it to Al Hazard? Would Alicia have killed me horribly back on Mid-Childa?" Fate sighed and shook her head. "I don't know, I'm just thinking out loud."

Yuuno shrugged. "Does it matter? Nanoha and Lina saved the two of us and because of them we've seen and done so much in less than two years."

Fate giggled as she looked at Yuuno trying to be serious. He really was growing into a handsome boy. "Your hair is getting longer."

"Just a little." Yuuno admitted as it was brushing against his shoulders. "Nanoha's upset that her hair won't grow back as fast as she wants it to."

"I wouldn't tease her about it." Fate giggled softly. "She's still upset that she can't feel the baby kicking yet." Then again, Fate felt no differently, she wanted to feel a baby before it was born too!

"Ack!" Yuuno yelped as he felt a small body grab him from behind and someone start biting his head. "Hi, Arf..." He muttered as she gnawed on his head. "Just what are you doing?"

"Saying "hi", that so wrong?" She asked after pulling her mouth from his head.

"When you gnaw on my head, yes..." Yuuno muttered, before yelping as Arf jumped off of him. Turning around, he balked as she whapped him in the face with her tail. "What was that for?"

"I wanna play!" Arf whined and pouted at the two of them. "Watching you two train all the time is kind of boring, I wanna play!"

"Play what?" Fate asked, though she could admit, it had been hours, maybe it was time to call it quits for the day.

"TAG!" Arf laughed and bopped Fate on the nose gently. "Fate's it!" She laughed and ran, as did Yuuno as he realized what happened.

"Oh, I'm "it", huh?" Fate grinned as she ran after them. "Just wait till I catch up with you!" She wouldn't use magic, that would spoil the fun after all.


Later...

Yuuno groaned as he stumbled into the bathroom and rubbed his eyes before stripping out of his clothes. He had gotten to the house early, mostly because he wanted to relax in the bath before the others got home. "Lina, Shiro and Nanoha are at the bakery.." He yawned and shook his head. "Arf and Fate are playing with Suzuka and Arisa..." He thought he saw Kyouya there, so he figured that he had the house to himself. "Just need to wash down." He was just so tired that he didn't think that being in the bath for very long would be a good thing.

He didn't want to drown if he fell asleep after all.

Walking into the washroom, something seemed off, there was steam in the air and it was a little hard to see, then again, maybe Miyuki had just gotten done with a bath. He hadn't seen her around, so he wasn't sure where she was. Shrugging, he walked over to the stool and started washing himself off.

After rinsing himself off, he shook his head. "Ugh..." Okay, he was far too tired to do anything, just hop into the bath, rinse off, then get to bed, that was his plan.

As he got up, he turned to the bath and slipped on a bar of soap and would have hit his head on the floor if he didn't quickly fly forward. At least this way, the worst that he'd crash into would be the water.

At least, that's what he thought. He did crash into something, and it was wet. But there was warmth, and softness undercoated with something solid, not to mention the hands that had suddenly grabbed him.

"Wait..." Yuuno muttered softly and pulled his head back, blanching as he saw what he did. "Um, hi..."

Miyuki looked back at him and chuckled softly. "Say hello to all the women after slipping into the bath with them?"

"Uh..." Yuuno's face was turning red as he turned around and tried to get out before Miyuki grabbed him and pulled him against her body. "I shouldn't be here! I mean, you're a girl and I'm a boy and..."

"So?" Miyuki shrugged and leaned back into the bathtub. "I don't mind if you wanna take a bath, Yuuno."

Gulping, Yuuno nodded and blinked as she put a finger on his forehead and forced him to lean against her chest. "Um..."

"What?"

"Aren't you mad? All the girls in those shows..." Yuuno trailed off as Miyuki laughed at him. "What?"

"Yuuno... Those girls get upset because it's funny to see them beat someone up. It's not cool to beat someone up just because of a mistake." Miyuki rolled her eyes. "Besides, I'm sure that Nanoha and Fate would be upset with me if I hurt you." Smiling, she patted his chest. "So, just relax, okay?"

"Um..." Yuuno gulped, the warm feeling of her breasts against his skin was rather... Distracting and it was doing weird things to his body and... "Eeep!"

"Oh dear." Miyuki chuckled softly. "Well, at least I'm attractive to you." It was a bit awkward, but at least he wasn't trying anything. Seeing his whole body stiff, she sighed and put her hands on his shoulders. "Come on, Yuuno, it was just a joke..." She frowned as he didn't relax. "I'm not going to bite, Yuuno..."

"But... Your mother..."

Miyuki pursed her lips slightly. "She won't get upset at you, Yuuno... It's my fault anyway... Forgot to lock the door."

"Oh..." Yuuno nodded, before yelping as she spun him around and pressed his face into her chest. "Myki?"

"So, we're going to just sit in her and relax." She grinned as he pulled his blushing face away from her chest. "Alright?"

He nodded, though he was still nervous and still having trouble moving around.

"Having trouble relaxing?" She moved slightly and he nodded. "Hmm... Might need to fix that somehow..." She trailed off and Yuuno gulped, wondering what she meant.


"See?" Miyuki smiled as Yuuno lay on the bathroom floor, face down, as she rubbed his back. "This is better, right?"

Yuuno's face was completely scarlet as he nodded. The two of them were completely naked still, and Miyuki's suggestions to relax was her doing things to his body that he didn't know was possible. Heck, just after they had gotten out of the tub, the things she did to him made his mind go completely blank. And that was just a rubdown of his chest!

Compared to what she did to him after that, it was pretty hard to think clearly at the moment.

Still, he did finally manage to relax and the way her fingers pressed into his body were just magical.

Miyuki chuckled as Yuuno fell asleep. "Falling asleep, huh?" She chuckled before grabbing some towels and wrapping herself up, and then putting one around his body, before taking him to the guest room and tucking him in.

Walking out of his room, still in her towel, she gasped as she saw her father walk into view. He looked at her, looked at Yuuno's room, then back at her with a raised eyebrow.

"He fell asleep..." Miyuki chuckled and Shiro gave her a look. "Look, nothing... Um... Well, it didn't go that far, dad, I was just helping him relax and..."

Shiro shook his head. "I don't think I want to know what's going on in your mind, Miyuki, but, just take care of yourself... I'll let your mother talk to you about this."

Miyuki gulped and ran for her room when Shiro told her to get some clothes on.


"Well..." Lina looked at Miyuki, who was in her sleepwear, with an unreadable look on her face. "You were sneaking out of Yuuno's room in only a towel? Seriously, Miyuki, he's not even eleven yet." He would be in a few days, however. "I never minded that you had a crush on Kyouya, or that you sometimes snuck into his room when he was getting changed, but Yuuno? He's far too young right now."

"But mom..." Miyuki gulped as Lina held a hand up.

"Look, if he was fourteen, I wouldn't have that much of a problem with it. If you still want him when he's fifteen, that's fine, but I'd rather you and him not push things, he's still developing and I don't want him screwed up because you decided to 'help' him out." Lina sighed as she saw Miyuki blushing more. "Just what were you thinking?"

"We didn't even do that mom, he was just so nervous that I wanted to help him relax and he fell asleep and..." Miyuki gulped at her mother's look. "I was in the bath and he came in, I forgot to lock the door and he slipped on some soap and he crashed into the bath... I wasn't going to kick him out just because he's a boy."

"You're a lot calmer than I was at your age." Lina sighed, before turning to leave. "Miyuki, just... I don't want either of you two to get hurt, okay? In a few years, sure, but right now? I'd rather you two take it easy." She turned and smiled at Miyuki softly. "I want my family to grow up healthy and happy, okay? That includes Yuuno."

"Mom, I..." Miyuki started to say before Lina gave her one last serious look. "Um..."

"If you wanted to have a lover that badly, Miyuki, at least have one that's not so young." If Yuuno was a few years older, she wouldn't have minded the implications of what happened, but she didn't want the two of them to get screwed up horribly by doing something so stupid.

After all, if she was going to be a grandmother, she wanted Kyouya to give her grandchildren before Miyuki, Nanoha or Fate did.

As Lina left Miyuki's room, she looked at her belly and sighed. "You better not date until you're at least fifteen." She knew that the baby wouldn't hear her, but that was fine.


Xellos: I really don't see why it's so much fun to do these. Lina really doesn't have any, huh, what do you mean by that? Next time, Blood That Flows - Shine, you should read it.
?: It's been a long time, Precia.
