Author's Note - Here I reference my friend's husband, which is cute because the person behind the male char is a female, so they are both a pair of crossdressers...

Life of a Dancer 2 - Chapter Eighteen

"Mistress! Madame Aurora has gotten a carriage for you, so that we can take you back in secrecy." Faellia said as she had been placing luggage of Kiniro's onto the back.

"Faellia, really, you don't need to be behaving like that. Please it's really embarrassing." Axia said placing a hand on her shoulder.

"Mistress, I have already told you that it is my honour to do this. We have been the servants of the Chosen Hope for 10,000 years so we are not about to stop now. When I die, my daughter will take over for me, and her daughter as well. We will serve both you and your chosen Viking, until there no longer is a need for the process. It was granted, a bit different with the previous dancer, as she unexpectedly died a few years after delivering Callista, but the very first dancer is still around. Maybe one day you will go look for her?" Faellia said as she finished loading all of Kiniro's belongings that they had gathered for him. Axia had brought none, as she always had clothes at the mansion.

"Perhaps I will go look for her, one day." Axia said as she lifted herself into the carriage with assistance from Aurora.

"I will also be here for you as well Axia." Aurora said in a hushed whisper, that only Axia heard

"Ora, remember what we discussed" Kiniro said as he settled beside Axia, in a possessive touch

"Kini, you are going to have to learn to share eventually. Least I am devoted to both of you. Now my sister reports that she has found all the traces of the information of Hope, so now there will be no trace, ever, of Axia or any of the other dancers, when that time comes. As for those that still have her pic, they will have to be found and removed. Zenia is on top of that, as is her husband. He's a priest, but he's devoted to her, so he is finding out all the priests that have the info remaining and is in the process of removing it." Aurora said as she started travelling down the path, with Faellia beside her.

"Will he get into any trouble, if he is found out." Axia said concerned about someone getting hurt on her behalf

"That's what Zenia is for. As a monk, she can make anyone forget what he or she knows. So her husband, is going to remove the pictures, and she will remove their memories. By next week, no one will remember anything about you, your family, or even about Kini. Then we can do the mission. And no one will be the wiser." Aurora said as they turned towards Prontera.

"Ora, we haven't told you, but Axia doesn't have much time. She's pregnant already, and she will be giving birth in about 3 weeks. So the mission will have to wait until after she gives birth." he said, holding Axia's hand while speaking, gently squeezing it in an almost rhythmic pattern.

"How long have you been pregnant?" Aurora said, trying not to show the hurt she was feeling.

"Uh...well...he...uh...apparently..." Axia stuttered out, but Kiniro finished for her

"I made her pregnant the first time I made love to her" he finished almost smugly. He knew that by doing this, it was showing dominance over Axia to Aurora. Instinct told him that Aurora was still hoping that Axia would show preference to her instead, so telling her that bluntly was his way of staking his claim to her

Aurora suddenly stopped the carriage and swung towards them. Turning to them, she just glared at them. Axia, shyly moved her eyes away, but Kiniro and Aurora just stared at each other, almost in a glaring match. She then stated "I still want you. I will always want you. That will never change. But I will not push myself on you ever again. When you go on the mission, I will watch your children like my own, I swear to you." and with that she turned around, and continued making Zenia, her peco, go towards Prontera, where they would take the turn to Axia's home in Payon.

OoO

When they arrived, deep within the heart of the Payon forest, they found that the Hope disciples had already been very busy with the renovations to her home. Lumber and sawdust was strewn all over her once immaculate lawns, and her lilies in the front had all been covered with a fine dust. Axia raised a hand to her mouth, and cried out within her mind. Kiniro then placed a finger on each side of his head, and asked her to not transmit when she screams like that.

"Axia, seriously, it's not that bad, and I can see that they have expanded it to nearly 8 more rooms." Kiniro said as Axia was wordlessly walking around her home that had been her sanctuary for so many years

Aurora came up behind her and wrapped an arm around her shoulders as she walked her up the stairs. Axia then just pointed towards her bedroom and so Aurora guided her to her room. Inside, the workers had not come in at all, so her room was as pristine as Axia had left it, the few days before. Aurora then walked into her bathing room and was in awe at the size of it. Inside it was almost like one of the spa rooms, located in Payon. Axia had nearly a small pond in the middle of the room, although slightly raised, but would fit 4-5 people very nicely. Her shower area, was like a waterfall, with the wall side, pure granite. The showerhead itself was built like a waterfall. Sink area, as she observed did have two sinks. One side was lower, but not by much, and had masculine items, but they all had a very thick sheeting of dust on them. Aurora then realized that they were the remnants of Aldo's toiletries, and Axia had never removed them. Her side on the other hand, was to her very visual. To others, completely cluttered. But Aurora gathered her lotion, and smelled it just slightly. It was a combination of sandalwood and patchouli with a hint of either lime, or lemon. She couldn't be sure, but she took a bit into her hand, and rubbed it onto her neck. Soft lights also adorned the mirror, and there was a small stool under the sink. Smiling at how feminine it all looked, she found the washcloth that she came in there for, and ran the water. Heating it, to nearly burning at the touch, she turned off the water, and headed back into the room.

Axia had already lain down on the bed, and was lightly sleeping. Aurora smiled, and thought how lovely she looked, and wistfully looked down at her stomach. To her, she was still flat, but, she thought, she has barely seen Axia naked, so would have nothing to compare against. Laying the still hot cloth against her eyes, she grabbed a chair and sat down beside her. Brushing her hair aside, she softly stroked her with only her hair. She heard Kiniro come in and he placed a hand onto her shoulder.

"Ora, I won, okay. She is going to be MY wife. Please, don't confuse her anymore. She won't be mean to you, because of our friendship, but I am asking you because of our friendship. I know you snuck in yesterday, and I know you took her again. I am guessing that you will be living with us for a while, so I am asking. Do. Not. Take. Her. Again. Ryan has made her so skittish now, she fears it. She hasn't said anything, but she does. She has only had four lovers, and two have raped her. Don't do this any more. Lex said that because of the growth of her body, she is going to have it rough. She can't have any more stress. Hence why we will not be doing the mission. I am leaving tonight to tell the church that we can not do it. I will be gone for about a week, so I am asking you as my best friend, be with her, as her support." Kiniro said softly to her

"Thank you for your trust, and I know that I have lost her. I will be here for her anyways. She is so sweet in her own way, I can't help but be with her. So I will help her, just to be near her." Aurora said, placing her hand on his, and looking up at him. Aurora then saw what Axia saw in Kiniro, and realized, she never had a chance. To her, Kiniro was just a male, nothing. But thinking as a woman, she realized just how beautiful he was. With his dark skin, his light blue hair and turquoise eyes he was striking. And with his height at 6'5, he was always formidable. But his body...it was always wide to her, but she could see why Axia was lost to her.

Kiniro was not completely dense, and realized that Aurora was seeing him, as a straight woman would, and he blushed slightly. Squeezing her shoulder slightly, he asked her to give them a few hours together before he headed out. Nodding, Aurora got up and set back the chair, and left the room. Finding a room right beside Axia's room she realized that the bed was adjacent to the previous bed, so stripped herself naked and slipped into the bed.
