Author's note

Greetings!

This is just a little epilog/bonus chapter I wrote when an idea crossed my mind...
A lot of stupid ideas in the end, but as for Strange Alliance, I wanted this "epilog" to be comical and to put a "true" end to the story as the ending of Eternal Love has been a little bit rushed in my opinion.

That's it for now, if you're interested in my next project and my current life, I'll give you details at the end of this bonus chapter!
If you're not, well, I wish you a good readind and thank you for your support! :)

"Haa…Haa…"

Panting, his body covered with cold sweats, Tatsumi was limping in a dark corridor, one of his hand against the wall.

Genuine fear had taken over his heart.

(If it goes on… I'm done for…)

Tatsumi shook his head and steeled his resolution. It was too late to hesitate. He could not step back anymore.

"I have to get away from them…" he mumbled, doing his best to carry on.

Tatsumi's lower body was numb, his mind in a state of confusion.

(How did it come to this?...)

– Weeks ago –

After their fierce battle in the North, Akame, Esdeath, Tatsumi, Nea and Ryuu left Najenda and the New Kingdom's army to come back home.

However, due to their state of exhaustion and the tension they accumulated during their journey, they decided to take a well-deserved rest.

To be exact, it was Esdeath that suggested their vacation and Akame who spotted their destination somehow. All of it looked like a coincidence to Tatsumi who suspected that it was their plan from the start.

In consequence, the family, during their journey back to the eastern continent, stopped by a seaside resort called Altamira on a remote island.

The resort was famous for it offered both beaches and natural hot springs to the visitors, due to the specific constitution and position of the island.

Naturally, the fees to stay in a hostel in this paradise were quite high. And naturally, Esdeath managed to somehow get five passkeys for free; even here, people knew of the dreadful General Esdeath.

Excepted they didn't expect her to come on this island with her family to take some rest.

Despite his reluctance toward Esdeath's method, Tatsumi was happy to spend time with his family and chase away his gloomy thoughts in such a place.

Their plan was to stay a month in the seaside resort and then to resume their journey back home.

Little did Tatsumi know that he was right.

This trip was, as he had guessed, something planned by Akame and Esdeath.

Something he could not have anticipated.

Tatsumi had died during his confrontation with his resurrected comrades, Bulat and Mine.

Due to an incredible luck and circumstances, he had been saved by Akame from the death's grasp and brought back to life.

It goes without saying that his death affected his family more than anything and plunged them into a bottomless despair.

Akame and Esdeath in particular were not strangers to that kind of situation as Tatsumi escaped death many times in the past.

However, this time, they intended to make him pay for his recklessness.

When they arrived in the seaside resort, Nea and Ryuu were told to go play and explore the island at their content, while Akame, Esdeath and Tatsumi would take possession of their suite at the hostel.

The sisters could spend time with other children their age all day, enjoy the sea along with all the facilities proposed by the establishment.

Nea and Ryuu possessed incredible strength; thanks to that, it was not necessary for their parents to watch over them all the time.

For example, they would not hurt themselves or fall prey to males with perverted intents.

All of this was just a pretext for Akame and Esdeath to keep their daughters busy and away from the bedroom, for a simple reason.

The punishment the two wives had chosen for Tatsumi was to lock him up in their suit and have sex with him for a whole month.

It was not really a punishment but rather a wish born from Akame and Esdeath's frustration.

It was understandable for them to have such desires, since during their fighting and trip in the North, they did not have such relations at all as they were sleeping in the same tent as their daughters.

It was the perfect occasion for them to satisfy their carnal hunger and to fulfill their second objective.

And so, Tatsumi fell right into their "trap". He obviously understood their motive and found it pleasant at first but soon regretted it.

For a mere human, Tatsumi was tough. His strength, stamina, speed and reflexes were a cut above from the rest of the likes of him. His iron will, especially, allowed him to overcome dire situations.

One could say that these qualities would serve him well in a sex marathon.

Only if his opponents weren't Akame and Esdeath. If Tatsumi was tough, his wives were inhuman. Holding up against only one of them would be almost impossible.

So, against both of them at the same time?

Zero chance.

Tatsumi did his best to give Akame and Esdeath what they wanted. He did his best to stay awake, to accomplish his husband's duty.

But it was simply too much for Tatsumi.

Influenced by love, sexual desire and passion, Akame and Esdeath turned into merciless jailers that did not let him rest between two rounds.

They took turns to ride him, and while he was not allowed to sleep, Akame and Esdeath took micro-rests from time to time, sleeping five minutes before going in for another round.

Tatsumi could not even eat. When Nea and Ryuu were coming back to eat with them, Akame and Esdeath were acting as if nothing was happening as they was sharing a meal like a normal family.

During these times, Tatsumi was literally sleeping in his plate, trying his best to compensate his total lack of sleep.

When his daughters would leave, this pleasurable hell would start over again.

The first week sufficed to turn Tatsumi in a weakened state, drowned in pleasure and dizziness. Of course, his cum reserves did not last the first day, and all of his orgasms were now dry ones.

That detail did not stop Akame and Esdeath, nor did it convince them to let him rest.

At the end of the second week, Tatsumi had the feeling his heart would not hold, were he to continue this hellish rodeo.

In a desperate attempt to take a rest, Tatsumi jumped on a rare occasion when both Akame and Esdeath slept at the same time.

The window for him to leave their suite was short: he had to escape within five minutes, not to mention he had not to wake up his wives with the sharpest senses in the world.

Though, thanks to an incredible luck, Tatsumi managed to leave the suite without waking up his jailers.

– Present time –

Tatsumi left the luxurious hostel in haste. The building was truly for rich people: red carpets, shining candlesticks, waitresses in stern uniforms along with many services at the guests' disposition.

The façade was also gracious as could be, with elongated curves, marble pillars and expensive materials.

It was the second time Tatsumi enjoyed this view for two weeks as he was locked up in his bedroom by Akame and Esdeath.

The fresh, salty air of the sea welcomed and invigorated him. The wind in his hair, caressing his face almost made him cry.

(I'm free…)

Tatsumi abandoned himself to the pleasure of being outside. The sun was shining high, indicating that it was midday and a gentle wind was blowing in a paradisiac atmosphere.

Various people in swimsuits or light clothes were walking around, laughing and enjoying their vacations.

Tatsumi wished he could do the same but all he wanted for now was to hide somewhere and sleep an entire day.

He did not wish to avoid his wives nor to run away from his "punishment" but he seriously needed to sleep and eat to replenish his energy.

(Otherwise, I don't know what will become of me… But seriously, something's wrong with me. I have two beautiful wives who only want to have sex with me, and I'm running away…)

Tatsumi shook his head.

(Two weeks without sleeping… it's a miracle I can still think and walk…)

Tatsumi started to think.

The seaside resort, Altamira, was located on triangular island simply divided in three areas.

The northern district was an immense beach where the tourists could tan, or swim in the sea, watched by coast guards.

The western district sheltered the hot springs. It was a volcanic area, specifically designed to welcome people with large natural bathtubs.

It also had modern facilities such as saunas and cold pools to allow the tourist to refresh themselves.

The sulfur contained in the water had wonderful effects on the skin and the majority of the female tourists spent their time there.

The main harbor, the hostels and the shops were located in the eastern district of the island. Here, the vacationers would find clothes, food, and even boats to rent.

Tatsumi was just in front of one of the most expensive hostels of the island, in the eastern district.

Easy. I just have to find a cheap hostel, get some food and sleep for the rest of the day… Tatsumi thought with a weak grin.

At this moment.

"TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA–"

The word "loud" was weak to describe the power of the scream that just pierced through the air and the ears of everyone on the island.

"–TSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU–"

People around Tatsumi froze, fear and shock in their eyes.

"–MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!"

When the shriek –which lasted a good minute– eventually came to an end, Tatsumi felt chills running all over his body.

Esdeath and Akame had woken up and found out he was gone.

They would search every room of the hostel before going out, which gave Tatsumi some time. However, he knew better than anyone that when his wives went berserk, nothing could hold them very long.

Tatsumi quickly get his mind back on tracks.

The situation was desperate. Tatsumi had no choice but to use the Joestar's family secret technique.

In other words, to run away while thinking up of a plan. But to be honest here, he simply ran away.

(They'll search every inch of the eastern district! I have to mix up with the crowd!) Tatsumi thought while running away. (Yeah! That's a good plan!)

Minutes later, Tatsumi hardly reached the northern district and climbed a sand dune. From here, he could admire the giant beach that made the owners of the resort proud.

It was hard to distinguish the true sea from the sea of people spreading all over the beach. Countless people were lying down in the hot sand, playing, or swimming.

If the prices of the hostels were very expensive, it did not prevent many visitors to come on the island only for a day or two.

Thanks to that, Tatsumi would easily hide among them.

(Nice. I'll find a free spot and take a nap… If I don't attract attention, it'll be fine.)

Unfortunately for him, Tatsumi did attract attention for a simple reason.

Tatsumi was still a male in his prime. His green emerald eyes, his medium brown hair, his fine muscles and especially his many scars made him look like a dangerous playboy.

It did not take long for young voracious women to swarm around him.

"Hey, hey, wanna play touch foot with us? ~"

"Are you free tonight? No, are you free right now?"

"Heeeheee, I bet you also have scars you-know-where… if you show me yours, I'll show you mine ~"

Tatsumi could not help but to be embarrassed.

"No, please, I just want to sleep for a bit…"

"Oh? I'll give you a lap pillow if this is what you want!"

"Kyaaa! Caressing his hair with his cute face asleep!"

At this moment, Tatsumi felt something was off.

The sun was high and so was the temperature. There was barely any wind.

And yet, the atmosphere seemed so cold…

"You seem to have fun, Tatsumi. Mind if I join in?"

"E-Esdeath… how did you find me?!"

"What a stupid question. I followed your smell, of course."

"What are you, some kind of hound?!"

The murderous aura emanating from Esdeath was palpable.

Her long hair untied as usual, she was wearing a two pieces white bikini that emphasized her voluptuous forms.

Tatsumi tried to joke out.

"H-hey… I'm surprised you thought about putting some clothes on before going out…"

"Huh? Of course I did. No one but you deserves to see me naked."

"R-right…"

Esdeath's smile was frightening. Tatsumi had no idea about how to soothe her correctly.

"Look, it's not what it looks like…"

"Oh? Go on. Tell me that you did not run away from us to take some good time on the beach with other women."

"To be honest, I–UWAH?!"

Before he could even end his sentence, Esdeath fired ice projectiles toward three of the women surrounding Tatsumi.

Thanks to his reflexes, however, Tatsumi managed to carry them all and save them from death.

"AND YOU DARE TO PROTECT THEM ON TOP OF THAT?!" Esdeath roared.

"Of course I do! I won't let you kill innocents!" Tatsumi protested.

"Kyaaaah! He's so cool!

"Take me away, hero-sama!"

Seeing Tatsumi acting like a true hero, the women around him started to let out cries of admiration.

"Stop adding to the misunderstanding!" Tatsumi yelled in vain.

"TATSUUUUUMIIIIIII!"

Esdeath lost it. With rage painted on her face, she raised her right hand high and began to store energy. She was literally emanating both killing intent and puissance.

It was as if she was casting a spell; in a certain way, it was the case.

Even the normal people around her –and so to speak in a radius of 200 feet– felt the danger and ran away from that sexy but deadly looking woman.

"I WILL WIPE AWAY THIS RABBLE AND PUNISH YOU PROPERLY, TATSUMI."

"E-Esdeath! Think about it twice! Don't use your powers here!" Tatsumi screamed.

"YOU ARE MIIIIIINE!" Esdeath roared, ignoring his plea, releasing her whole power.

A titanic burst of ice ravaged the beach, splattering sand everywhere in a formidable cloud of dust.

Later, the first aid men to arrive on the scene would wonder how such an ice mass could've raised from a volcanic ground.

Fortunately, most of the people, upon Esdeath's threatening aura, ran away from the area in time. The few unlucky ones were "simply" ejected in the sea or in the dunes, unharmed.

Tatsumi, taking advantage of the situation, also managed to escape Esdeath's sight and used once again the secret technique of running away.

Despite his weakened condition, Tatsumi reached the western district of the island within minutes. Fear was a very efficient fuel, after all.

Since he couldn't help but to draw the attention of the opposite sex, Tatsumi decided to hide in dark and secluded place.

(I'll give up on eating, I just need to sleep… he thought. Even adrenalin and fear can't keep me awake forever…)

The owners of the seaside resort wanted the western district to look like a genuine volcanic area. With that in mind, they dug up basins in the rock and connected them with pipes to the natural hot springs that emerged from underground caverns.

They also built individual wooden cabins that used the heat emanating from the ground as natural saunas. This way, people could use them at their content; they could even decide of the amount of steam and the temperature by opening or not the door. None energy was wasted since it was a hundred percent natural.

As they made ideal hideouts, Tatsumi decided to hole up in one of them.

Heat did not bother him, even if he used to live in a cold area. In fact, it made him sleepy.

(A nice steam bath is all I need along with some sleep…)

Tatsumi crouched in a corner, enjoying the ambient warmth and the contact of the wooden planks against his skin, somehow comforting.

He had closed the door in order to let the steam submerge the cabin. If someone were to enter the latter, he or she would know that the cabin was occupied.

"Aaaah…" Tatsumi exhaled, in peace with himself for a long time.

As he slowly fell asleep, his thoughts derived from his current situation to his past.

(… I seriously messed up…)

Tatsumi was not in peace with himself. In fact, he felt guilty toward his family.

For the promises he did not keep.

For the pain he caused them.

(The worst is, I made these decisions myself and I still regretted them. No. The worst is that Akame, Esdeath, Nea and Ryuu suffered because of me. What kind of husband and father am I?...)

At this a moment, a light creaking alerted Tatsumi.

The door of the cabin opened. Clouds of steam escaped the small interior.

Amidst the smoke, a silhouette appeared, but what Tatsumi saw first was a pair of red shining eyes.

This vision alone sufficed to wake him up.

"Akame?!" Tatsumi yelped.

Akame, wearing only a red bikini, slowly approached him.

Compared to Esdeath's behavior, Akame's was much softer and kinder. Despite their old relationship as lovers, Akame was still acting sometimes as a shy maiden.

But this time, she was unrecognizable.

Her eyes were shining, bright opened, and above everything, a frightening smile was displayed on her face.

"Tatsumiii…."

"Hyaa?!"

Her voice was a yandere's one. Long syllables, high-pitched tone, slow elocution.

Before Tatsumi could react, Akame ensnared him, her face stuck against his.

"…got you ~…"

"What are y– UAH!"

Akame just put her tongue in his ear in a playful manner.

This contact, along with her curves pressed against his body, were arousing Tatsumi.

"A-Akame, please, just let me rest for a bit! I will die if you keep this up!" he pleaded.

Unfortunately, it looked like Akame did not even hear him. She kept playing with him, her face as scary as could be.

"Tatsumiii… hey, Tatsumiii, why did you leave meee?"

"I…I…"

"Heheheee… it's okay nooww… we'll have pleeeenty of time alone…together…"

The current Akame was the most frightening one Tatsumi had ever seen.

(Akame has been corrupted by sex!) he realized, panicked.

Her gestures were slow but confident. Only one thing emanated from her: hunger. A deep, insatiable hunger.

(She's gonna eat me!)

Tatsumi came to that conclusion.

(No…if she's so hungry right now, then maybe… Maybe there's a way!)

Tatsumi gave up any resistance against Akame's caresses. He even returned the favor.

Akame shivered and mewed in pleasure.

"Akame…" Tatsumi whispered, caressing her long black hair. "Do you trust me?"

"Mmmmh?..."

"Lay down and close your eyes… I want to try something different…"

Excited by a new perspective and persuaded that Tatsumi was complying, Akame did as she was told.

"Okay…now wait…you'll see, it'll feel really good…"

"Fufufuu…okayy…"

Tatsumi slowly stepped back while talking. He exited the cabin and blocked the door, praying that Akame, who was lying aroused, would not notice it.

The latter was still waiting on the ground, persuaded that Tatsumi was simply teasing her.

(I was supposed to rest… so why am I running since I escaped the suite?!) Tatsumi wondered when he eventually reached a natural spring in a crater.

Adrenalin and fear had been driving him but he was now feeling truly exhausted. His last reserves of stamina were now empty.

(If I'm caught again, I won't be able to escape… besides, Esdeath and Akame will surely punish me…) Tatsumi thought with a chill. (Maybe I should just surrender and beg for mercy?...)

"Papa?"

"Yeah, it's Papa!"

Two childish voices exclaimed.

Tatsumi blinked.

"Nea? Ryuu?!"

Nea and Ryuu, his daughters, were playing in the spring. They were only wearing underclothes, and if Tatsumi was not a lolicon, he could not help but find his daughters very cute.

"Oh.. so you were here…" he said.

"Yup! And you, Papa, why are you here? Aren't you supposed to play with Mama and Mama?" Ryuu asked cheerfully.

"To play, huh… you can put it that way, I suppose…"

"Papa?"

"No,no,no, you're right!" Tatsumi stammered.

Suddenly, his previous thoughts came back to him.

"Say, Nea, Ryuu."

"Hm?"

"Yes, Papa?"

"… do you think I deserve to be with you?"

"What do you mean, Papa?" Ryuu frowned.

"…no, forget it."

"Of course you do. You're our Papa, after all" Nea said.

Tatsumi expected such an answer.

"The question is not about who I am… but rather, what I've done to you. I… died in front of you… I abandoned you…"

He slowly shook his head, trying to arrange his emotions.

"And above all, Nea… you sacrificed some of your lifespan for me…"

Tatsumi's voice was only a whisper.

The dizziness, fatigue he had been accumulating, his guilt, his feelings exploded as he fell on his knees in front of his daughters.

He could not hold his tears anymore.

"I'm sorry… I'm sorry…" he sobbed.

Nea and Ryuu calmly embraced him. The contact of her petite bodies attenuated Tatsumi's sorrow.

"Papa… I did what I did because I love you. I don't want you to go…" Nea whispered. "Even know, that's true. I don't care about what you have done. I will always love you."

"Me too", Ryuu softly added.

"W-why…"

"Do we need a reason to love our Papa?" Nea asked.

"…"

"Mama and Mama often talked about Papa. They told us… that you saved them. So… if you need reasons… here's one. I love you because you saved Mama and Mama."

"I love you because you love us" Ryuu added.

"We love Papa because he will always protect us no matter what."

Tatsumi heard his daughters' words echoing in his head.

A weight inside of him vanished.

It was as if… he had been forgiven.

Tatsumi wiped off his tears and caressed his daughters' hair.

His love toward them made him feel like his chest would explode any moment.

Tatsumi no longer asked himself if he deserved his daughters and wives.

He did not care anymore. All is wanted now was to make them happy and safe.

"… thank you. Papa feels much better now."

"Is that right?" Ryuu exclaimed.

"Yes… I must be the luckiest man in the world for having such a family."

Nea, Ryuu and Tatsumi laughed together.

"Papa, you know what?" suddenly asked Ryuu. "We will be big sisters!"

Tatsumi instantly froze.

"…say again?"

"Mama told me that when we arrive on the island! That she, Mama and you would be very busy as you would work to gain us little brothers or sisters!"

(… who told them that? Esdeath or Akame? Both of them would be capable of that!)

"…I think… I should go and hide… I mean, rest, now… see you later, Nea, Ryuu…" Tatsumi muttered while getting up on his feet.

"Oho? Is that how you thank your family, Tatsumi?"

"Tatsumiiii… you were so cuuuute…let me comfort youuuu ~"

Two voices resonated right behind him.

Tatsumi turned back slowly, his whole body shaking violently.

Esdeath and Akame were standing behind him.

"Oh! Mama and Mama! Are you going to work again with Papa?" Nea exclaimed innocently.

"Yes. But first, we have to punish Papa as he tried to escape his duty…"

"Hehehee… we won't leave you until you make us both pregnant again, Tatsumiii…"

"Akame?! Watch your mouth in front of Nea and Ryuu?!" Tatsumi yelled.

"Papa, what does pregnant mean?"

"Nothing! It's nothing!"

"Come on now, Tatsumi… Our little game of hide and seek is over. Accept your fate and impregnate us."

"No… NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Tatsumi screamed as his terrible wives imprisoned him and dragged him back at the hostel.

Another Epilog

Tatsumi barely survived the trial Akame and Esdeath made him go through.

Because of that, when they left the seaside resort Altamira, he slept during the entire journey back to the eastern continent and their home.

As they expected, no one had dared to plunder their house, afraid to suffer retaliation from Esdeath.

Tatsumi, after a dispute with the blacksmith he was working for before, became a master of arms and trained many youngsters.

Approximatively one year later, Esdeath and Akame gave birth to two boys, whom they named respectively Yuzuru and Tomoya.

The family moved in a new, bigger house. Nea and Ryuu played perfectly their role as big sisters, while Akame and Esdeath had troubles to find new jobs. They eventually became mercenaries, but only accepted contracts that would not hurt innocent people.

I want to believe that, in this timeline, they lived happy ever after...

Author's Note

First of all... Thanks for reading this bonus chapter. I hope you liked it as much as I liked to write it!

I wanted to put a true epilog, so... that's why I tried to mix up cute/comical scenes with serious ones, especially the one where Tatsumi asks himself about his role as a parent and his guilt toward his family. You maybe noticed, but I'm quite fond of sad/sentimental scenes...
