Well her is the next chapter for all of you don´t have anything else to say here ;)

Chapter 16: Love and War

Sekiro peacefully slept the entire night but like every morning he woke up well before dawn but for some reason both of his arms would not respond to his commands to move.

The second thing he noticed was that something extremely fluffy and warm was hugging him from both sides and that whatever it was it was breathing that was the moment he remember last night, Akeno and Riya asked him how he felt about them completely out of the blue.

At that moment Sekiro decided to open his eyes only to go chalk white as he felt as if all of the blood drained from his body as on his right arm he found Akeno with fox ears and her tail lying on his shorts and on his left arm he found none other than Riya who had lion ears and her tail was twisted around his left leg.

Sekiro took a very, very deep breath before starring straight up at the ceiling of the room to think and not look at the two still sleeping girls, sure he had some kind of feelings for them both he respected both girls but was there more to it than just simple friendship why had he been so obsessed with finding Akeno for two years of his life after he left his family.

But the more he tried to think about it the more he realized that not only did he like both of them but he also found them both very hot as he had seen Riya almost completely naked on accident and Akeno decided to go for a swim a few days ago in a bikini that fit her very well and did a great job of showing off her trained toned body.

But as he was trying to get rid of the massive blush on his face he noticed someone giggling to both of his sides "Seems we were found out" whisper Akeno with a giggle "Seems like it but his face is just so cute when he is embarrassed" Riya replied but that was just too much for Sekiro to handle as he got up very fast while Riya and Akeno got tangled in the sheets.

Sekiro looked at the tangled mess on his bed until both girls landed on the ground with a yelp and short scream "I swear you two" mumbled Sekiro only to stop dead as he looked at the two girls.

Akeno was only wearing her undergarments as was Riya and while Akeno had a pair of red and black panties and bra while Riya wore a simple black pair of panties and bra.

"You like the view?" asked Akeno leaning forward on all fours only to get a slap on the butt from Riya who was lying half on the bed now "Slow down there missy before I have to tie you up" Riya mumbled red faced but Akeno simply laughed at that until she noticed Riya still glaring at her.

The two girls started to play fight on his bed until Riya was able to pin Akeno down with her hands over her head "You two mind explaining to me what is going on and why you are in my room and bed!" Sekiro yelled as both girls froze completely before looking at him.

Riya got off of Akeno and both girls sat down on the edge of the bed "well Aria knocked you out with a door last night and Akeno and I stayed with you because we were worried you know" Riya explained with a blush on her face as Sekiro was busy scratching his head.

"Well while you were sleeping we two talked about how we felt about you and each other and we confirmed that if you are not interested we are happy to get together" Akeno added before placing her head on Riyas shoulder causing both Riya and Sekiro to blush badly.

Sekiro felt as if his brain had just fried itself but the moment he realized that both Riya and Akeno were trying their hardest not to break out laughing he realized what was up "So even if I´m not interested you two will get together but if I am you two will share me or what?" he asked and both girl looked at each other once before giving him a nod.

Riya and Akeno got up and both girls placed their hands on his shoulders "We both realized we love you" Akeno started with a cute blush on her face "And even though Asuramaru and Muramasa don´t like each other" Riya added "We decided that we love you" both girls said as one as they gave him a kiss on both of his cheeks at the same time causing his brain to go complete [Sekiro has stopped working please wait for it to be rebooted] all the while Riya and Akeno were busy giggling to themselves as they got dressed.

By the time Sekiro had finally returned to the world of the living Akeno and Riya had both got dressed and brought breakfast for all three of them with Akeno and Riya feeding each other small pieces of vegetables until they noticed he was finally aware again of where he was.

Sekiro sat down on a chair with a sigh hiding his face behind his hands "You two do know that Akeno will be leaving tomorrow right?" he mumbled into his hands but Akeno and Riya barely exchanged a look at that "We know that" Riya replied before she continued to eat.

"But we already have a solution to that problem that is as long as we both" the rest of that sentence was not understandable to either Riya or Sekiro as Akeno suddenly looked ready to explode in embarrassment judging by how red she was right now.

Riya had to sigh at that as she rubbed Akenos back to calm her down as Sekiro was a bit confused again but joined Riya by rubbing Akenos head being mindful to avoid the fox ears until she calmed down again.

Riya knew exactly what Akeno was so upset about they had talked about this for a long time in the realm they shared with their personal demons there was a way to still be together with each other over long distances the thing is to do so the both of them needed Sekiro to mark them and they had to mark him in return.

It´s just that the process of how he had to mark them was really embarrassing they only needed some of their blood to draw a symbol on his body to mark him but he had to do a bit more sure he needed to do the same with his blood but he also had to make them submit to bond with them so they could be aware of each other's position at all times when they were near each other and if they wanted to create gates to get together for some time alone when the opportunity presented itself for them.

Back with Mitsuko and Kishiko:

The two cruisers together with B-company returned to the training Island over the last two weeks but to their surprise there were two ships waiting at the Island for them one was the same class of cruiser Akeno used but the other was a massive US-aircraft carrier that was anchored outside of the ship bunker.

Claire greeted them at the pier after they stopped the two cruisers and disembarked "So I heard that Bloomer girl was training with you how is that been going?" Nomad asked carrying two green duffel bags with each hand.

Claire seemed to think about that for a moment before she sighed "Well she is just like Akeno she just eats everything up I teach her. But I can´t get rid of the feeling that she is trying really hard to learn who her real family is" Claire explained as they walked towards the mansion.

Mitsuko and Kishiko were the first to enter the mansion only to stop dead in their tracks there sitting at the couch table was their older sister her hair was a bit shorter and in a ponytail but it was her natural brown orange.

"Big sis" yelled Mitsuko and Kishiko before rushing towards the girl and tackling her to the ground that ended with all three girls landing on the floor with a loud crash.

Claire sighed again as Mitsuko and Kishiko were giggling happily "Sorry girls that isn´t Akeno" Claire spoke up getting a confused stare from the two younger girls "Please tell me what just happened" mumbled the girl that looked almost exactly like Akeno except for her auburn brown eyes.

At that moment Mitsuko and Kishiko realized that it was actually Shirayuri that was lying on the ground "Sorry" mumbled Mitsuko as she and her sister helped Shirayuri to sit up again "Its fine" Shirayuri replied with a small smile towards the two girls.

Claire decided to talk with Nomad and Redford about some stuff while everyone else was busy with getting settled back in "It really can´t be just a coincidence that she looks so much like Akeno" Nomad mumbled as he looked towards the group of three girls.

Redford and Claire agreed with him without saying a word "Well good thing I decided to give an old friend of mine a call and send him a little something" Claire explained to them that she had taken blood samples from each girl during their training to make sure they were not sick and to make sure they had some extra blood at hand just in case one of them got badly injured.

Those blood samples she had sent to one of her old friends under the context that she found the blood on a crime scene and needed to know who it belonged to meaning a DNA search worldwide.

The rest of the day everyone spend doing whatever they wanted what did surprise Redford and the others was that Mitsuko, Kishiko and Shirayuri went to train for a while on the shooting range with their various weapons and that was another thing just like Akeno, Shirayuri had chosen a Russian AK-107 along with an under barrel breach shotgun together with a MP-443 Grach pistol and a PP-2000 Submachine gun.

They left the three girls to their own devices they knew better than anyone that they would not misuse the weapons entrusted to them so Claire and Redford's squad decided to have some BBQ along with some bear as they just talked about anything that came to mind.

Back at the Rabaul base:

Akeno and Riya took over two hours to explain the entire bonding ritual to Sekiro and with his consent they had already marked him with their symbols but the next part was a bit uncomfortable for all three of them Asuramaru told Akeno that Sekiro had to defeat both her and Riya in combat in order for him to even start the marking process.

This meant that the three of them retreated to one of the numerous training hangars that the base had and locked themselves in allowing no one else to enter as they talked about how to do this.

Riya would fight with Akeno at first to weaken both girls before Sekiro joined the fight and defeated them before he marked them both with a symbol drawn with his blood that had to be in the middle of their chest just below their throat.

Akeno and Riya both had drawn their demon blades and were ready to get started Sekiro stood off to the side a bit worried as the girls were using blades that would cut apart flesh and bone if it connected with either as Sekiro had seen footage of how Akeno killed several people with her blade on the slave camp Island.

Both girls stared each other down before they seemed to vanish and a split second later they viciously clashed blades numerous times neither of them giving the other any room to breathe for a second as every opening no matter how small was used.

After the initial clash Akeno started a hit and run tactic by circling Riya who in response simply stood completely still and deflected or redirected each of Akenos attack and only counter attacked if Akeno had a hole in her guard.

Both Riya and Akeno continued to fight for well over two hours with neither of them showing any signs of getting tired however both girls had been successful in cutting apart their clothing over the course of the battle instead of each other's skin how that was possible Sekiro had no idea about.

Akeno had actually started using Asuramarus power during most of the fight as the pitch black wings had appeared on her back allowing her to move even faster but Riya responded in kind by moving just as fast as Akeno.

Another thirty minutes went by before both girls started to look really tired if their breathing and posture were any indication Riya was barely able to stand without using her blade to stand upright while Akeno was on one knee while she tried to get up again using her blade as a support as well.

Sekiro knew this was the moment he had to join the fight and drew his own Katana from his belt as Akeno got up again on unsteady feet raising her blade along with Riya both girls taking a basic stance in their own fighting styles.

Akeno had her blade on the left side of her body with the tip pointing right towards Riya while Riya had her blade right in front of her body with the blade raised towards Akeno.

Both girls charged towards each other but just as their blades were about to meet each other once more another blade knocked both of their blades out of their hands and the last thing both girls saw was the bright gleaming silver blade with a red dragon decal on the katana before they both were thrown to the ground as their blades landed several meters away from them.

Riya had been knocked out by the impact with the ground but Akeno still tried to get to her blade as Sekiro had his back turned towards her but just as she was about to grab her blade a hand grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her away and a moment later Akeno found both of her hands restrained behind her back as she lay helpless on the ground.

Sekiro took a simple silver dagger from his belt and cut his index and drew a simple heart on Riyas chest before he did the same thing with Akeno for a moment it seemed as if nothing happened but then Akeno felt a searing pain from her chest and couldn´t help but to cry out in pain as Riya woke up again from the pain as the simple heart changed form in an instant.

The heart got a bit smaller but it now had a chain that went around the neck of both girls that faded a moment later leaving only the small heart visible on their skin as both girls collapsed to the ground sweating and breathing heavy and fast.

"Well that was a thing" mumbled Sekiro as he helped Riya to sit up while leaning against the wall but as he tried to untie Akeno she moved away every time so he just picked her up and set her down beside Riya.

Both girls were dead tired so Sekiro decided to get a little something for them to eat from the mess hall as they had plenty of water to drink with Riya helping Akeno drink as the girl literally couldn´t lift a finger anymore even if she wanted to.

Sekiro returned a few minutes later with a few sandwiches only to find Riya making out with the still tied up Akeno as both girls had dark red blushes on their faces "Sekiro please help us" whimpered Riya as Akeno had the same begging look on her face.

Asuramaru had warned them about this if the bond was completed Sekiro would have to make both girls submit to him right after he completed the bonding mark by kissing his own mark but they didn´t do that so they both were now facing the consequences as the chain around their neck was visible with a slight pink glow coming from the small heart on their chest.

Sekiro made sure to lock the doors before he helped both girls to the shower room and while both girls started to undress each other he dragged a simple brown suitcase into the showers before he got rid of his shirt and pants leaving him in a simple pair of swimming trunks.

Akeno and Riya joined him in the showers a moment later in their own swimsuits with Akeno wearing the same red black bikini and Riya wearing a bikini in a simple silver but both girls had their animal traits visible on their bodies.

It was a good thing that the three had chosen a training hangar a bit further away from the rest of the base as the various sounds of pleasure that came from the showers were not something anyone would be able to easily forget.

But two girls had actually followed Sekiro, Akeno and Riya all the way out here as they wanted to confirm something for themselves but now the two of them had a different goal in mind as they slowly went into the training hall but instead of entering the main training room they ducked into a maintenance room.

And a moment later the two of them were crawling through the ventilation shafts towards the showers but even before they could see what was going on the sounds alone were enough to cause both girls to blush furiously.

Shirone Nomura and Ava Nomura had been suspicious of how much time Akeno, Riya and Sekiro spent together and now one of their worst fears came true as they looked into the shower room where Sekiro was busy with teasing Riya while Akeno had her hands tied up over her head to one of the old steel showers.

Ava and Shirone felt a stabbing pain in their hearts but the scene before them was still worth it as Sekiro and Riya now started pleasuring the still tied up and gagged Akeno but not before too long both Ava and Shirone decided to get going as the three in the showers seemed way too much into it to even notice the time.

In the middle of the Coral Sea a fleet of twelve battleships, three aircraft carriers and one battlecruiser was busy with hunting a pretty large group of pirates who foolishly thought they had escaped the fleet earlier but had lead them straight back to the pirate hideout.

And now the pirates were regretting every decision in their miserable lives as all thirteen warships opened fire along with the three carriers launching numerous aircraft that attacked anything that tried to get away from the hideout.

It was only ten minutes later that all guns fell silent as only a few more planes were circling over the devastated pirate base as three girls watched from their ships at the destruction they brought upon those pirates without the slightest hint of regret to see.

But unknown to them there was someone else watching them from a distance as a small fleet of one Iowa-class battleship, one O-class Battlecruiser and two Alaska class cruisers continued to shadow the much larger fleet.

Onboard the O-class Battlecruiser a Caucasian German-American male with short dark brown hair combed back with both sides trimmed in a buzz cut and gray color eyes put down his binoculars to write something down before he continued to watch the unknown fleet of ships.

He was wearing a black balaclava over his face with a white skull/specter insignia in the middle, a olive drab coat with a grey and black scarf around his neck while underneath is a white undershirt, black fingerless gloves on his hands, a large black container attached to his belt as well as having additional ammo pouches, olive green and black camo pants, black mountain combat boots.

Over his shoulder rested a massive Barrett M82 Sniper Rifle with a suppressor along with a MP5 sub machine gun with suppressor, USP pistol with suppressor and right next to his pistols holster he had a Karambit Knife.

This young teenager was known to his friends as Ernst Rommel and those enemies that managed to survive called him Specter as he excelled in not being seen by his enemies even after he killed his target.

´So these are the people known as Kronika, Lancer and Saber are they?` Ernst thought as he continued to observe the large battleship force continue on as if nothing had happened that is until Ernst noticed that his radio had picked up a message.

"To the unknown fleet shadowing us, inform us of your intentions and who holds your loyalty." The message simply read making Ernst grin a bit before he responded.

"I do not stand with any country as there are none left that would even remember the country my ancestors created along with a Clan that has been forgotten to the depths of the sea." Ernst replied but didn´t get an answer for several minutes.

"We wish to speak with whoever you follow as we only know if we can trust you once we do." The answer was simple and at the same time it was a bit troubling as Ernst now had to contact Isoroku Nomura to set up a meeting with whoever was commanding the large battleship fleet.

Rabaul Base three days later:

Sekiro, Akeno and Riya were glad that they were done with the bonding marks and everything else that came with it as Sekiro had shown a pretty wild side of him to the two girls who willingly submitted to him.

But as much fun as it had been for all three of them it also was very embarrassing as Akeno liked to get tied up and ordered around as long as it was someone she trusted and Riya, well Riya simply loved doing so with Sekiro either joining her or having both girls follow his orders which they gladly did without complaint.

So it was with heavy hearts that the three of them woke up in the same bed in Akenos room onboard the Tsukuba after a rather tame night compared to what they did during the bonding ritual "So today you´re already leaving" mumbled Riya as Sekiro pulled both girls into an embrace.

Akeno didn´t reply to that but someone knocking on the door caused them all to sit up straight as if they had been struck by lightning "Who is it?" Akeno called but instead of an answer the door opened just a crack and something was placed on the ground before the door closed again.

Akeno looked confused towards her two lovers but got up from the bed and walked towards whatever was lying on the ground but as she picked up the simple white letter and turned it around Akeno immediately knew what this was as only one person knew of this symbol that was drawn right in the middle of the letter.

Without a second of hesitation Akeno tore open the letter and started to read but was confused by it a bit as there was simple message telling her to meet someone on the top of the mountain of the base as soon as possible "So what is up with the letter?" asked Riya still lying in bed looking towards Akeno.

Akeno placed the letter on her table before she started to get dressed in her normal combat gear but what did alarm Sekiro and Riya was the fact that Akeno also took her assault rifle along with her shotgun and two pistols "I need to meet with someone that knows something about a Cousin of mine who I thought had died years ago" Akeno explained but before she could leave the room Sekiro pulled her into a short but deep kiss.

"You better get back safely unless you want me to punish you again" Sekiro whispered into Akenos ear as their lips separated from each other but that little warning was answered with a smile by Akeno.

"I will see you two later alright" Akeno called back as she was already running down the hall of her ship and a moment later she was running into the forest but instead of staying on the ground she took to the trees and covered a lot more ground that way.

Akeno arrived a few minutes later on top of the mountain only to find nothing that is until she noticed something lying on a stone nearby was a simple picture until one look was all Akeno needed but before she could even aim her AK she found someone taking a hold of it for a moment before it left her hands and a black glock-17 was aimed at her forehead along with a knife that was pressed against the side of her neck.

Akeno could barely see a young woman with long silver hair that had a long braid on each side of her face with green bows at the ends and electric blue eyes.

She was wearing a pink and dark blue French maid dress with long sleeves, a white apron over the dress with frills, white cotton gloves on her hands, white stockings on her legs, a white maid headband on her head and black nurse oxford shoes "Akeno Misaki correct?" asked the woman with a questioning look.

"Depends on who´s asking" Akeno replied as she tried to figure out a way to not die at the hands of this combat maid but the knife pressing a bit more into the side of her neck had her focus back on the maid "If you are then there is something I am to deliver to you. Do not try to reach for any of your weapons or I will defend myself" the Maid warned as she removed the blade that disappeared into her uniforms sleeve but kept the pistol aimed at Akeno,

A moment later Akeno had a simple brown folder sitting before her on the ground but the first page was all she needed to read as her eyes burned with anger and vengeance "Where is this piece of shit?" Akeno hissed but instead of an answer the maid did something and before Akeno knew what was happening the ground came up to meet her as she fell, slowly her vision went completely black the maid had placed something into her bag pack and left without saying another word.
