-Tsubasa's POV-
"So, do you care to explain Tsubasa, or do you prefer I call you Empress?" Kotori asks as she looks down at Ayako and I from her usual command seat. After the debacle with Shido, I used my powers to send him and the girls back to Shido's house before grabbing Kotori and Ayako and taking us back to Ratatoskr.
I stare up at her, a cool look on my face. "Come now Kotori, I'm still the same Tsubasa that you've always known. I see no reason for you to call me Empress." I respond simply, smiling up at her.
Kotori groans softly. "Are you planning to make this difficult Tsubasa?" She asks with an aggravated sigh.
"I'm not being difficult Kotori, but you aren't exactly making this a comfortable place to have a conversation. How about a change in scenery?" I smile and with a clap of my hands we are in a comfy meeting room at my work. I sit down and pull Ayako into my lap, cuddling her tightly, causing her to blush in surprise. "Take a seat and we can talk about whatever you wish, Kotori." I promise her, amused by the shocked look on her face.
"Very well then." Kotori takes a set opposite me and Reine stands beside her as she takes a minute to collect her thoughts. "How long have you been a Spirit Tsubasa? Ayako's only been one for a few years now, did you get turned at the same time as she did?"
"I've been a Spirit a lot longer than that Kotori, since the beginning really. Ayako and I are much older than we appear, though the shock of becoming a Spirit put Ayako into a coma for years." I pet her head softly. "She only woke up a few years ago, so she isn't nearly as well trained as I am."
"How did becoming a Spirit put her into a coma? That's never happened to anyone else before as far as I know."
I shrug. "Not sure, we were two of the very first Spirits. Perhaps the technique of turning humans into Spirits wasn't as refined as it is now perhaps?"
"Perhaps… I have a lot of questions for you Tsubasa. I hope you don't mind answering them. If you don't want to cooperate and answer my questions, you are marking yourself as our enemy." Kotori says darkly and I can't help but chuckle.
"Your enemy am I? After all the help Ayako and I have provided you and Shido? You know I'm the one who told Ayako to go out and protect the Spirits from the AST. We're on the same side, but our goals aren't exactly the same."
"Fine then. If you are our ally why haven't you said anything before now? Why hide the fact you're a Spirit and never show yourself to anyone? You can't have been worried about the AST. With how powerful you are, I bet even Ellen couldn't slow you down." Kotori asks, and when she mentions Ellen I chuckle softly.
"Well I couldn't show myself much for a while. I've met Westcott before, several times actually. He knows who I really am." I look down at Ayako and comb my fingers through her hair. "However, Ayako was in a coma and I couldn't let Westcott know where I was for her sake. I may be strong but Westcott is crafty and ruthless, he would do anything to get what he wants, which includes holding a helpless girl hostage."
Kotori nods, understanding. "I get that, but Ayako has been awake for 2 or 3 years now. Why wait for so long before revealing yourself? You're much stronger than Ayako, yet you had her do all the fighting."
"She needed to learn how to use her powers. I wanted her to grow and master her abilities in ways that I can't teach her since our powers are completely different." I explain. "That's not the only reason though. By the time Ayako woke up, I was the CEO of a big company already, I didn't have the time to go around playing hero, but I knew Ayako would enjoy helping them, even if it was a bit begrudging at first."
"Ok I understand that. You gave Ayako a lot of experience that helped her and us. But you didn't step in when she almost died fighting Tohka that one time or when she was hypnotized by Miku."
"I may be her big sister and her protector, but if she doesn't do things herself she won't grow. Also when she fought Tohka I was having a little chat with Westcott, so I couldn't help her if I wanted too. Though I knew my little Kurumin wouldn't let Ayako get too hurt."
"... Ok hold on I have more questions now. Let's start with the simpler one, what do you mean, "my little Kurumin"?" She asks, not quite understanding.
I smirk at her. "The answer is simple Kotori, Kurumin belongs to me. In simple terms, Kurumin is my lover." I explain, enjoying the meltdown happening in Kotori's head as she tries to process this new information.
"Ok ... we'll come back to that… What's your goal Tsubasa? You protect the Spirits, you partner with Ratatoskr to help us. You have Ayako help us save the Spirit but she doesn't become one herself. What's your endgame?"
"That's a secret Kotori. For the most part, my goal is to just live a happy life with Ayako, and Kurumin. Anything else other than that? Well, that's a secret." I tell her teasingly.
"You aren't being very helpful Tsubasa." Kotori groans loudly. "Fine, WHY did you help us? If your goal is to live peacefully why did you support us, work so hard to get a deal with us. Having Ayako aid us puts her in even more danger and in direct confrontation with Westcott, why would you risk it after everything you did to try and hide from him?"
"He needs to be stopped of course. If Westcott has his way, this world will belong to him. If he goes about unchecked, he will destroy this world with the Spirits powers and warp it to his own twisted desires. If he gets what he wants everyone will die, so of course I would help in any way I can. That's why I had Ayako assist in protecting the Spirits, and why I made a deal with you guys at Ratatoskr."
Kotori nods slowly as I finish my explanation. She looks at Reine for a moment, who nods to her. "Alright then Tsubasa, I think I already know the answer to this question. Would you be willing to get sealed by Shido?" She asks doubtfully.
I laugh loudly and shake my head. "Of course not. I have no intention of being sealed, nor does Ayako, Kurumi or Miku. All of us will continue to oppose Westcott with you, but we will not give up who we are. Shido doesn't need to seal us, have him focus on the other remaining Spirits and forget about dealing with us."
"I don't know why you include Miku in that but alright I understand. We will continue to work with you. Not like Shido would be ok with us cutting you out anyway." Kotori chuckles softly. "Are there any other secrets we need to know about you two?" She asks, thinking there's nothing else.
I grin at her, knowing I'm about to ruin her expectations. "Actually there are a few more Kotori. I know I told you Kurumi is my girlfriend, and that's true, but she isn't the only one who belongs to me." Instead of explaining further I tilt Ayako's head back and kiss her lightly, claiming her lips affectionately. Ayako gasps in surprise as I kiss her and I take this opportunity to slip my tongue into her mouth, deepening the kiss with her as I hold her tight to me. I peek over at Kotori, smirking as her face turns bright red as she stares in shock.
"W-What are you doing?! You two are sisters, why are you kissing like that in front of us?" Kotori demands, flustered by the sudden display of affection between the two of us.
I break the kiss and smirk at Kotori as Ayako turns bright red in embarrassment. "O-Onee-sama what are you doing?!" She asks, staring up at me, not sure what exactly I'm doing as I share our secret.
"What do you think, Ayako? I'm showing Kotori that you and the others will never get your powers sealed. Kotori, Ayako, Kurumi and Miku all belong to me." I purr wickedly. "More than belonging to me, I guess I can just tell you, Kotori." I place my hand on Ayako's stomach affectionately and nuzzle her cheek. "Ayako, and Kurumin are carrying my children inside them. They will be the first second generation Spirits ever born." I tell her. I watch in amusement as Kotori's lollipop falls out of her mouth as she stares at me wide eyed.
"...They're what?"
I let Ayako out of the tight hug I had her in as we reappear in our living room. "There we go. Sit down and relax while I make us a quick dinner ok?" I head into the kitchen and start throwing something quick together for the two of us to enjoy.
"Onee-sama, why did you tell Kotori everything? I know we had to tell her SOMETHING after you showed off you were a Spirit too, but you didn't have to tell them about us, or about our kids or the others." Ayako says, obviously nervous after the long conversation we just had with Kotori.
"I know I didn't have to tell them all that, but they would find out eventually when you had kids, so better to inform them now rather than surprise them again later. Also I wanted to let Kotori know once and for all that you, Miku, and Kurumin are mine. I refuse to share you with Shido or anyone else." I tell her firmly as I come in with the quick meal I threw together.
We eat quietly together on the couch and once we finish we set our dishes on the coffee table and I pull Ayako tightly against me, stroking her hair comfortingly. Ayako lets out a heavy sigh and I look down at her, curious about what's got her sighing. "I know I agreed to help them today in case something happened today, which it did, but I'm really sad we didn't get to finish our date. I had something special planned and everything." She says with another heavy sigh and I hug her tightly.
"I had a great time Ayako, you don't need to feel bad that it ended so abruptly. Though that doesn't mean you can't still do that special thing for me you know." I gently prod her and after a moment of hesitation she nods and pulls something out from behind her back.
"I bought this for you Onee-sama, special order. It wasn't easy to keep it hidden from you for sure, considering you can watch me anytime anywhere. I had to get Miku to get this for me so you wouldn't find out." She opens the box and reveals a beautiful silver pendant with an amethyst stone in the middle.
I smile widely. "It's beautiful Ayako, would you put it on for me?" I ask and she nods. I turn my back to her and allow her to loop the pendant around my neck and fasten it tightly in place as it settles on top of my breasts. I turn to her and hug her tightly, pressing my face to her hair. "Thank you, Ayako, I will treasure it forever."
"It's nothing Onee-sama, I'm just glad you like it." She says with an embarrassed blush.
"It's not nothing Ayako, you got this made for me and I love it. It's even more special since you gave it to me today. Today was the first day any of you girls have asked me out you know. I was very happy when you invited me. Thank you again, Ayako." I murmur into her hair, nuzzling her lovingly. "Come on, I want to cuddle you all night long."
