Part 4
…
"Oh God! Kebinu! You are an animal! Oh yes! Yes! Yes!" Naru's pleasured voice cried out. "More! Deeper! Faster damn it! Your Empress demands it!"
"The things I do for the Empire…" Kebinu whimpered.
(Kanako: Okay. Now may not be a good time to check up on the ENE. It's still on the third day of Kebinu's severance package, after all.)
…
Kana sat down on the table, the green flame of the candles the only light. Across him was his goddess, his lover, the dark mistress Kanako Urashima. They were silent, for the most part; the Cathedral was often empty this time of night with the exception of the two of them. Kanako looked at her dark, conniving companion, a man who possessed a mind almost as manipulative as her own, if not more so. She wanted to reach out to him, to hold him in her arms as he so often did for her. Now was not the time though, now was not the time for her to make her move on him. There would be a more appropriate time to physically consummate their affection but it was not now. For now, her mere presence was enough.
"My violin…" Kana slipped out of concentration. "…I haven't played for you in five years."
"The hands that hold the crescent blade and cast spells of Necromancy are not hands able to play beautiful music on the violin." Kanako said, taking a sip of her red wine. She and Kana preferred red wine over most other wines since they were disgusted by the taste of beer and something about the way the wine isn't really red attracted them. "One day, you won't have to carry the burden of Necromancy and then, you will play for me as gloriously as before."
"I will wait for that day to come." Kana answered with a loving smile as his and Kanako's hand touched on the table's ebony surface. "Until then, my sword and my Necromancy are yours to command."
"Kana…" Kanako whispered as her face drew closer to his.
"Kanako…." Kana whispered back as they both closed their eyes.
"Launch EVA!!" Misato Katsuragi, of Shin Seiki Evangelion fame popped up from out of nowhere.
(Kanako: I don't own Shin Seiki Evangelion. Think of this as a disclaimer)
"Excuse me, miss…" Kanako's nerves twitched violently. She did not take kindly to the interruption of the moment they had previously. "…you're looking for the Eva Fanboy War. This is the LH Fanboy War."
"Oh, I'm sorry." Misato chuckled in apology. "I'm lost. I don't suppose you could direct me to where the Eva Fanboy War is?"
"Three doors down, turn left and walk past five intersections and turn left. You should five a swirling black mass at the end of the hall that'll portal you to the Eva Fanboy War world."
"Thanks!" Misato smiled as she walked off. "By the way, you two make a lovely couple!"
"You do realize where you just sent her, right?" Kana asked once Misato was gone.
"The 'Angel of Darkness' world where there are hundred upon hundreds of tentacle plants that take their nourishment from the female…organ." Kanako grinned evilly. "Yes, I do."
(Kanako: No, I don't own AoD either)
"You're an evil woman." Kana smiled as he blew out the candles, making his hand, that glowed a sickening green, the only light source.
"You're not too bad yourself." Kanako smiled as she used the shadows to draw Kana closer to her.
…
Andrew Joshua Talon, general and supreme commander of the neutral forces, which is a rather fancy name for an army-for-hire, stood in the room. His second in command, the lovely Silver Raye Adams, stood in the room as well. However, she was standing farther away, while Talon stood at the foot of the marble prison of his dearest Mutsumi Otohime. The elegant, if somewhat confused, turtle queen was imprisoned there long ago, during the era of the Dual Empresses. Talon remembered those days well, when the Empire was a just, loving regime. Then, when the first Imperial Ambassador, Keitaro Urashima, chose Mutsumi as his bride, Naru, in her jealous rage, imprisoned both in marble. Talon was still rather angry at himself for failing to rescue Keitaro's prison when he and the guards loyal to Mutsumi made their rescue attempt.
"One day, Mutsumi-san. One day, I will reunite you with Keitaro and I will bring down that cockroach, that miserable little psychopath, that conniving, violent, vile, despicable, lovely woman."
"Uhm, General…"
"Call me Talon, Silver. We've been friends since our days back in the Imperial Guard." Talon smiled. "I miss the days when we still had the Dual Empresses."
"Well, I may or may not be hearing things but…did I just hear you call the Empress Naru…lovely?"
"I did? Impossible! I despise her! I would rather rot alive!" Talon contested. "My loyalty rests with Mutsumi-san! Not with that beautiful, luscious psychopath on the Imperial Throne!"
"There you go again." Silver raised a curious eyebrow as she toyed with the fireball in her hands. "I dare say, you're attracted to the Empress Naru."
"Well, she is really, really sexy. Damn…" Talon muttered as he bashed his head onto the wall. "I am attracted to her."
"I'll go get Forte-kun and the rest of the Angel-tai." Silver said as she stepped out of the room. "Maybe they can knock some sense into you…"
"If not, call Kana and have him bring a couple of Black Priests with him too." Talon whimpered. "Still, there isn't any shame in being attracted to a woman like her right? I mean, she is really, really hot right?"
"What are you asking me for?" Silver was just about to throw a fireball in his face. "What do you think I am, Talon, a lesbian?"
(Kanako: I do not own the Angel-tai either. And if I got Silver's gender wrong, blame Talon. He told me Silver's a girl.)
…
"Yes! Faster! Deeper! More! More! More!" Naru kept on shouting. "Make me scream like a cheap little whore! F*** me for the glory of the Empire! For MY satisfaction! Just f*** me damn it!"
"I should have resigned from my job after TEN years…" Kebinu muttered to himself.
"Yes! Yes! Kebinu! Make me your screaming little b*tch!"
(Kanako: I'm sorry. I couldn't help myself, with Talon fantasizing about Naru and all. Damn, I'm evil.)
…
"Did we just lose an entire squadron of Tama-bombers over KFH space?" Baka-Alaskan asked, or more appropriately, demanded from his co-Prime Regent, Shalashaska. "What were they doing with a faction that we have peaceful relations with?"
"Please, the KFH won't know it was us. For crying out loud, their mistress isn't exactly all that intelligent. And even if she is, she's drunk as Hell most of the time." Shalashaska simply brushed off Baka-Alaskan's worries before walking off. "Don't worry so much, the SASA will be fine."
"Why is it that his being in control of the military and technological areas of the SASA worries me?"
"Well, that at least makes two of us, Cheshire Cat. That makes two of us." Baka-Alaskan sighed as he looked at his secretary. "Someday, he may well be the death of us all."
"Should I hire some assassins to get rid of him?" the Cat asked. "I hear that General Talon's Angel-tai are capable of carrying something like that out and placing the blame on the ENE."
"No, nothing that has happened calls for something that drastic yet." Baka-Alaskan reprimanded his more violent companion. "His being alive also adds stability to the SASA command structure and establishes trust among those in Su-sama's kingdom in the Alliance."
"The political game, I see."
"When I was chosen, I swore to make Shinobu-sama the one and only supreme goddess of this world. Even though I negotiated the Alliance with them and a peace treaty with the KoM and the CoK, I still hold true to that oath." Baka-Alaskan adjusted his symmetrical sky blue cloak and proceeded to view his mistress, Shinobu Maehara, in the garden. "She is beautiful, isn't she?"
"She is absolute perfection, sir, nothing less than that."
…
"My Empress…you summoned?" An almost completely burned hump of what could somehow be passed as human flesh stood just outside the Imperial Throne Room's doors, which were locked. He stood wondering just what all the moaning was about.
"Yes…oh my…not there Kebinu…" Naru moaned through the doors. "I'm appointing you as the new Imperial Ambassador…not now Kebinu! I'm working! Wait a moment! Congratulations, Ambassador…what's your name again?"
"It's Leon D.S. Geeste, Empress."
"It doesn't matter what your name is! I'll just call you Monkey-Boy."
"But Empress…"
"Go away, Monkey-Boy." Naru ordered uncaringly. Behind the doors, she made a grab for her former Imperial Ambassador. "Now, where were we Kebinu? Oh yes, there…oh yes…"
To Be Continued…
Kanako: Hehehe. Evil, isn't it? Kebinu, you owe me for all I'm doing for you here. The plot is starting to thicken with even the co-Prime Regents of the SASA showing different agendas. Well, one of them anyway. We also now know what happened to Mutsumi. Next episode! We take another look at the KFH hierarchy! Kanako and Kana slaughter yet another misguided invasion force! Motoko contemplates getting rid of the KoM entirely! The ENE send forces to attack the SASA! Another author bites the dust! Leon, you want to get on my good side? Agree to take off that damn Kanako/Kentaro fic and never publicly mention it again and never, EVER refer to MY Kana in a derogatory manner again. Then we'll talk.
