I Got Reincarnated! - Kitsune Chronicles
~Chapter 13~ Fox in the Lion's Den
"So, you wanted to know about the odd assembly of monsters that defeated the Orc lord?" Rimuru asked as his group and the 'guests' were taken to a nice little dinner in the spacious Tatami room where they were served a nice dinner prepared by both Shuna and Kayo.
"Yes, to determine whether they are friend or Foe. Despite the little fox's letters, I needed to confirm it myself, her words alone were not enough for the Dwargon Council." King Garzel Dwargo assured Rimuru, the slime glanced over at his subordinates, Kayo missing, her own tray of food all eaten to the last grain of rice, next to his own as his co-leader. Despite the Sake bottles with the fox and slime icon painted on them that she was so proud to serve everyone at first.
"Rimuru, there is something I must ask you. Have you an Interest in entering a treaty with me?" Gazel asked, and Rimuru looked back at the king even as he had an odd feeling in his gut with Kayo missing. "If you were to gain control of everything in this vast forest. You could obtain wealth and power passing my own nation. It would serve you well to have another nation supporting you at such a time." Gazel mentioned as he had heard reports about nobles coveting the Jura Forests many recourses, but something strange had been preventing them from harming the forest for the past few weeks.
"That would be fantastic but..." The slime once again looked at his subordinates who were quiet and listing in on the conversation. 'Where is Kayo?' he questioned worriedly. "Are you sure? That would be the same as Acknowledging our gathering of monsters as its own nation." Rimuru asked, trying to shake the uneasy feeling he was getting.
"Of course. This deal would benefit us as well. Both sides stand to only gain form this Treaty." Gazel mentioned, hearing Rimuru's thoughts go to the fox and that something felt off. "If you want to wait for the little fox, I understand. This matter also includes my deal with her as well." he mentioned sternly but Rimuru only looked confused.
"A deal? You have a deal with Kayo?" the Slime asked, wide eyed and looking very shocked at this news. The room was quiet and tense before the missing Kitsune herself appeared, unharmed and excited.
"Who's ready for the special dessert~!?" She sang cheerfully as she held several trays lined with some upside-down little cups on plates in her hand and on her tails. "Lady Kayo?" Benimaru called her but seemed to go ignored as Kayo set the plates before everyone, taking a seat next to Rimuru with the last upside-down cup.
"I think you're really gonna like this one Slime ball. Shuna and I worked really hard to get it prefect!" Kayo explained excitedly before she noticed the atmosphere and was confused. "Did I... miss something?" she asked before Rimuru spoke up. "You had a deal with the Dwarf King... and you didn't tell me?" he asked, looking both hurt and betrayed but the slime quickly got scared as her eyes glowed and she stared down at him unblinkingly.
"I did tell you... did you not listen to me? Again!?" she growled and exposed her fangs as the whites of her eyes turned back.
"Agh! What? When did you tell me? I don't remember!" The slime told her, shivering under her icy stare before she closed her eyes and messaged her temples. "Shion." Kayo called out and the purple Kijin pulled out a notebook and glasses.
"Right! It was just last week when Lord Kayo handed you some paper documents to look over for approval. It was a Terms of Service and an Adoption form... for King Gazel Dwargo to adopt Lord Kayo and the terms for having her on a mission to weed out the corruption among Dwargon's elite." Shion told him, looking worried for the slime who was shocked at the news as was everyone else to now learn of Kayo's adoption by the hero king.
"I was in the room as witness to the approval... Lord Kayo did tell you what they were, and you stamped them personally." She told the slime who felt trapped but there was still something wrong with Kayo that she wasn't telling HIM. "These are the documents. It was supposed to be only known to those involved, the fewer who knew about this the better." Kayo raised a hand and quickly, some documents appeared there, and she showed them to the slime who saw the village stamp, Gazel's signature and even Shion's stamp as a witness.
Rimuru looked at them, the adoption paper was on top... filled out with Kayo's information but her race was listed as Dwarf... and her name...
"Inari?" he asked as he looked at the fox who looked embarrassed. "I'm not good with names, it was that or Kurama." she admitted.
"You're a Dwarf?" he asked, even more confused but wasn't surprised when Kayo got rid of her ears and tails. Leaving her looking like a human dressed in her usual v necked black ¾ sleeved shirt, dark blue slacks and white socks. The collar he had made her wear as a little fox was around her left wrist, the bell chiming softly as her hand moved. She didn't appear to have changed much at a glance, but anyone who knew here could see she made herself look a bit more like the Hero King.
"For this mission I am. It's mostly just as a cover. I'm not really going to be the old man's heir." Kayo explained but the many spit-takes from their subordinates as they were shocked by the news. Only Kaijin stood up, a bit unsteadily from many drinks. "You're going to be the heir of Grazel Dwardgo!? The Heir to the Great Armed Nation of Dwargon!?" the dwarf asked loudly as Kayo sighed. "This is why I wanted to keep it hush hush." she muttered as the king chuckled.
"It was bound to get out. I doubt you can leave here for even a day and not be missed." He mussed and looked at the slime who was reading the next page closely. "You want her to take care of those rotten nobles in your nation? Why her? Why not me?" Rimuru asked but got a gentle bonk to the head.
"You're to honest Slime ball, and your acting chops are not as robust as mine. Plus, if you're going to be the main leader of our new nation it be better if you're not seen ripping off nobles and cheating them out of their 'hard earned' wealth." Kayo spat out with a growl. "I take it the dessert was not the only thing you took care of?" Gazel asked her, but paled as she saw her manic grin and glowing eyes... as well as a memory of what she had down to the poor souls who tried to harm HER forest.
"Yes~, you will get a repot when your back home. They're still alive so they can have a 'proper' punishment for breaking your latest decree." She gave a delighted giggle and calmed down with a soft sigh. "Enough about that, I worked too hard to prefect this to let it go to waste." She beamed excitedly and tapped the upside-down cup gently with a spoon and removed the cup, letting some brown liquid escape as she pulled it off, a small yellowish pilar with some brown liquid dripping from the top as the cup was lifted off it.
"Ohhh~ Is this... Pudding?" Rimuru asked excitedly, now distracted form what Kayo had been doing before. The others watched in shock as Kayo scooped up some of the odd wiggling dessert to bring it near Rimuru's lips. Without any hesitation, the slime happily took it into his mouth and was giddy with delight, hugging the kitsune in his excitement.
"Thank you! That was the best pudding I've ever had in all my lives!" He praised, really loving the pudding she fed him. It prompted everyone to try it as well and have nearly the same reaction.
"Ah~ so soft~ yet firm~. Sweet~ but so light~." Shion praised as she happily ate hers and Shuna was giggling as she enjoyed final product of the new dessert. "Hmm~ Kayo was very insistent on making this herself. I can taste why." she giggled and looked at her brother who tried some and seemed to have a soothing reaction to it.
"Yes! It's truly a master culinary piece!" Rigurd cried as he ate the pudding slowly and his son did the same. Kaijin was one of the few who were crying at the sweet dessert's flavor... King Dwargo held his back but couldn't help himself. "I assure you, I will take care of this precious treasure with my life, Rimuru." He told the slime as he pulled Kayo into a tight hug suddenly as she squirmed a little in his hold.
"H-hey. Was it really that good?" She asked, a little confused by their reaction but also feeling touched that they were enjoying something she made, even if she asked Shuna for some help developing it, she took charge in making it complely on her own. Kayo couldn't help but try and steal a glance at Benimaru for his reaction before she was pulled back into the leader's conversation.
"With that out of the way, shall we get back to the suggestion of a Treaty? I shall be sure to send one of my own here, but no one can really match the worth of my child." Gazel boasted and riffled his adopted child hair, making Kayo blush and pout a little. "I guess. I have no reason to refuse. Do we accept it, Kayo?" Rimuru chucked as he looked to the Fox who was a bit startled, not excepting he would be asking her. "Of course, Slime ball. Or do you just want to get rid of me?" she teased and Gazel chuckled. "You are welcome in my kingdom my child. If your bother doesn't want you anymore, making this arrangement permeant wouldn't be too hard." He mussed as he let Kayo go and sit besides Rimuru.
"No thanks. I'm not much of a public figure. Too much work and to many rules to follow. I'm much more content with working backstage with occasional special roles." she mussed but she looked to the king as she asked him in her mind. 'What's stopping you form MAKEING a real heir? Or choosing someone else?' She asked, but all she got was a glance at the brown-haired man next to him.
"Oh? OH~!" Kayo voiced her shock and surprise as she put her hands over her mouth to hide her grin and sniffle a delighted chuckle. 'I KNEW IT! YOURS IS AT 90 PERCENT! THAT'S THE HIGHEST I'VE EVER SEEN!' She thought as she tried really hard to not let her inner Fujoshi out.
"What? Kayo are you okay? Your acting weirder then normal." The slime pointed out before Kayo calmed down, remembering the cover story she had offered the king as to why he suddenly has a nearly full-grown heir.
"I-it's nothing, but I have to tell you about the cover story I came up with, people will talk after all. may as well control the native as early as possible~." She grinned widely and was eager to share it. "It's not much of a cover story if you tell them that." the brown-haired man muttered but Kayo ignored him as she started and cast a sort of shadow puppet display above their heads.
"Just imagen this~. There was a battle-hardened Hero king, fresh from a grueling fight. He and his men seeking a sliver of peace and comfort. They come across a small village in the Great Jura Forest, the villagers, at first, where unsure of the Hero king and his knights but welcome them to rest, treating the weary souls to a feast." Kayo told as everyone watched as the shadow puppets moved and changed. Almost everyone was wrapped in the story, but Benimaru and Rimuru felt the story sounded familiar.
"The Hero king felt comfortable resting with his solders in this village, planning only for a night before they were all off to war again. When a brave maiden came and offed him a drink and good company~." Kayo grinned as she slowed only the shadow puppet of Gazel and a woman pouring him a drink before it shifted to a moon and the two kissing under it.
"The king decided to stay another night in the village, something the weary knights welcomed whole heartedly. Just so that the king to stay with this lovely maiden for just a bit longer. However, one more night turned into a week and then a month. The knights wanted to see their families and loved ones again and so the king had to choose... his people or the maiden~?" Kayo purred with a smirk as Rimuru's eyes widen as he realized why the beginning of the story sounded familiar, but he was curious where she was going with her story.
"Of course, the weight of his crown was far heaver on his heart, so he left with his knights back to his kingdom. Leaving the heart broken maiden behind... with only a single gift form her beloved~. A child~." Kayo finished as she showed the king leaving and the maiden running after them only to fail and fall to the ground in tears... only to have her tears transform into a baby.
"Oh~! That was... so beautiful Lord Kayo!" Shion cried as she blew her nose in a tissue, Rigurd and his son also crying at the beautiful story and Shuna was in aww at the shadow play Kayo showed them. "Yeah, but that kinda sounds familiar... You wrote a lot of fan fiction, didn't you?" Rimuru asked with a smirk as Kayo looked away timidly at being called out. "M-maybe... there are other variations of the story but there are serval times that King Dwargo-"
"Call me father." Gazel voiced and Kayo blushed before she corrected herself. "There are several times when F-father left for battles and stayed in some small villages before. Several knights and villagers can attest to him staying several nights in a village a handful of times. It wouldn't be a stretch to say he stayed for a woman or several during those times." Kayo pointed out before the Knight beside Gazel angerly got up and stormed out with just about everyone watching him.
Kayo and Gazel shared a look for a moment before he got up to retrieve his knight... and partner.
"What was that about?" Rimuru asked, confused and looked at Kayo for an answer, but she only shook her head. Distracting them form the gay couple that had just left and supplying more alcohol.
~After Dinner~
"And that's it. The official forming of the Jura Tempest Federation and its alliance with the Armed Nation of Dwargon has been completed." Kayo smiled brightly as she had presented the forms needed to make it truly official. With Gazel signing his name and his knight serving as his witness. Rimuru stamped the paper with his village seal and Shion happily stamped it as Kayo felt it unwise to put her stamp on the alliance document as it duplicated and went to each party.
"Now let me show you to where you will be stay-ING!" Kayo was startled as she felt someone lean into her back and drape their arm over her shoulder suddenly. The fox didn't even have to look, the scent of mostly burning wood and cinnamon gave them away.
"Lady Kayo, are you really going to leave us? Just like that?" Benimaru asked, his face flushed from drinking the Sake that had been served, but he also looked sad.
"What are you talking about? I plan to come back." Kayo told him but didn't look at the tipsy Kijin, but her face was flush with nervous embarrassment. "But you were going leave without telling any of us. I don't want you to go." he pouted and nuzzled Kayo making her blush bright red as he pulled the smaller female into his lap and wrapped his arms around her in a tight grip. "You can't have her, she's mine!" Benimaru growled as he glared at the king who was very amused as was Rimuru and Shion.
"Hey. Beni stop that! Your drunk." Kayo scolded him only bit her lip as she felt sharp teeth nip at her neck that she had accidently exposed to the Kijin. "Oh my~. I've never seen big brother like this before." Shuna blushed, confused as she watched her brother try and mark Kayo and she tried to stop him gently at first.
"STOP IT!" Kayo yelled and used her head to ram it into the drunk Kijin's face, making him lose his grip on her and sprawl out on the floor. "How much did he drink? The Sake shouldn't have been that strong?" Kayo asked in confusion, worriedly checking on the Kijin before Shuna came and tried to help her brother. Kayo reached for Benimaru's cup, giving it a sniff and then taking a small sip of it just to 'be sure', but she frowned in confusion. The Sake had a slight change in taste form what she remembered the batch tasting like, but she brushed it off.
'It's not that strong to make a Kijin drunk, is it? Or does he just have low tolerance?' She questioned before Shuna looked to her worriedly, Her brother's head in her lap. "Kayo, can you take my brother home? He's too heavy for me. I will show King Dwargo and his knight to the guest rooms instead." the pink princess suggested.
"Okay. Just to be safe, Stay with Rimuru tonight, Shuna. Something's not right here." The fox warned her before carefully picking up Benimaru into her arms. Rimuru held back a laugh as he saw his samurai general being carried like a princess. The king and his knight leaving with the pink princess to their oddly shared room.
~Benimaru's Room~
"So messy." Kayo muttered as she carefully walked into Benimaru's room for the first time since the home had been built. The floor, bookshelf, desk chair and bed were littered with discarded clothes, random small weapons and scrolls. The only clean places were the desk where a familiar red book lay neatly on it and the dresser where a sword display was set for his prized Katana.
Using her tails, she carefully cleaned the stuff off the bed before laying Benimru down under the covers. Taking care of his sword before tucking him in as he seemed to sleep more then knocked out cold. The kitsune took a moment to memorize his sleeping face in the moonlight coming in from his window.
'He looks so cute~. It wouldn't hurt if I... steal a little kiss~?' she was thinking, blushing as she held his sword but shook her head and carefully placed the sheath blade in its place of honor before looking at the rest of the messy room. "You really should get better habits." she softly told the kijin, glancing at him before she started to quietly clean his room, separating trash and clothing and leaving the room, not noticing the red eyes that had watched her leave.
"Kayo..." he softly called out to her, slowly got up from his bed to follow her, discarding his clothes as he went after the fox.
"Danm it~. What was slipped into his Sake?" Kayo asked as she fanned herself, feeling very warm and Lust was on a rampage in her mind, 'Horny Jail' didn't seem to slow her down this time. It didn't help that her skin felt like it was on fire, her heart pounded heard in her chest, and it was hard to breath. It didn't help that with every breath she took, Kayo could taste and smell Benimaru on her clothes.
"I... I need to get out of here." Kayo huffed as she was going to make her way out of the sibling's home, but when she reached for the door, it opened on its own. "Kayo? Are you okay?" Shuna asked, concerned when she noticed the older woman sweating and her tan complexation flush.
"S-shuna... I think something was slipped into his sake. Tell Rimuru to get over here, I'm not sure if his healing potions will work." Kayo warned her, as she took her chance to breath in the Sakura girl's flowery scent and the cool night air. "Why!? You took a sip from it too. Are you going to be, okay?" she asked worriedly as Kayo was shivering badly before something warm was pressed into her back and the kitsune bit back a moan.
"Kayo." Benimaru called her name, and Kayo blushed as she realized what was so warm on her back.
"B-benimaru?" She looked at him with a blushed and shivered as she felt his warm soft lips on her exposed skin. She held back another moan and tried to pull away, but he had her trapped in his strong arms and her will to get out of them was weakening.
"Stop that! Shuna is here. Something was put in your Sake to make you like this." Kayo scolded him as best she could but couldn't really stop him... even if she wanted to. The pink Kijin blushed as she couldn't tear her eyes away from what was going on as her brother gave a soft whine and his hands went up Kayo's shirt.
"B-beni~ stop it! You're not in your right mind! This is not consensual!" She hissed and gritted her teeth, trying not to give in to Lust. "S-shuna stay with Rimuru for now. I... I'll deal with your brother on my own." Kayo choaked out, trying to keep Benimaru from slipping his hands even more under her clothes before she shut the door quickly along with putting up a silence barrier over it.
This left Shuna stunned and worried as she ran quickly to get Rimuru, who already suspected what had been slipped to the red Kijin's drink.
~Inside~
"Stop this now, Benimaru." Kayo hissed as she panted, groaning as she missed the kijin's heat. Regretting throwing him across the house because now she could see he was deliciously shirtless, making her look away from the very tempting site. "This is just the effect of a drug! I'm sure it once it wears off and your feelings will go-Mmm~?!" Kayo was saying before Benimaru was able to get up and pull her into a hot kiss, no tongue, just lips for what felt like eternity before Benimaru pulled away slowly.
Kayo was dazed looking up into his crimson pools, all she could hear was the blood pumping threw her vains and her panting before he spoke to her.
"Kayo... I love you." he told her and the kitsune's eyes widen in shock at hearing those words from his lips as she looked into his calm eyes that where not clouded by anything external and just touching him showed her... he was telling her the truth.
"B-benimaru..." she called his name as tears spilled from her eyes and she pressed her head into his chest and just held him. Both shivered from the contact, Kayo was cold with an inner heat, and Benimaru was hot with an inner coldness... like something was missing... or someone. "It's okay. We can stay like this; it should help ease it a little. I... I'm not experienced with this sort of thing." he confessed to her, and he hissed as Kayo's nails dug into his skin.
"Your... a virgin?" she asked him softly as she looked up at him in shock, her soft body pressed against his felt very nice. The handsome kijin blushed as he looked at her and closed his eyes in shame of his in experience. Only to open them when he heard her giggle and that smirk on her face had some excited chills run threw his body.
"I am to... but I know a thing or two about sex~. So... let's be each other's first real sexual experience, My handsome Cherry Boy~." Kayo purred as she reached up and pulled Benimaru's head back by his hair. "L-lady K-ka-Oh~?" Benimaru moaned as he tried to say her name before his hair was pulled and he was forced to bear his neck to his master and she nipped his exposed skin, making it feel strange and tingly.
~Morning~
Benimaru was slowly waking up, feeling warm and comfortable in his bed that felt and smelled different as he pressed his face into the soft warm pillows. The sound of a beating heart reached his ears, making him tense suddenly as he realizes he's not lying on top of his bed.
Kayo giggled in amusement before he popped his eyes fully open and saw soft tan skin, looking up pass a Hicky marked neck, he saw kissable pink lips, flanked by adorable dimples, a cute nose, golden eyes that light up like the sun, framed by lush dark lashes, a hint of some red markings around her eyes and even a cute little mark that was under her right eye. All was gently framed by her messy black, white tipped hair that spilled over the pillow and sheets.
"Is this... a dream?" Benimaru questioned, unsure as he slowly pulled away from lay on top of the kitsune, having used her chest as a pillow. The sheets slipping off their bodies and exposing their handywork on each other, a clear indicator that last night was no wet dream, Kayo was just as much a bitter as Benimaru. The Kijin turned red as his hair and his jaw dropped open as Kayo gave him a sly smile and closed his jaw for him, giving the blushing kijin a sweet kiss on the lips.
"Does it really seem like one to you?" She asked, giving him a soft, amused smile.
"Y-yes. I didn't think that what we... last night." Benimaru tried to explain but looked away from her to try and get his memories in order. "Do you remember it?" The fox asked, looking a little guilty for taking advantage of him.
"Y-yes... I... Lady Kayo." he called her name and she chuckled.
"After last night, you just call me Kayo, Beni~" She teased, making Benimaru blush more.
"We should get up. Father is leaving today and, in a few days, so will I to start my mission in Dwargon." Kayo mentioned with a tired sigh, feeling a little sore from having the Kijin asleep on top of her. "Mind if I clean up first? I'm sorry about your sheets, I will make sure their replaced." She told him and got out of the bed; her whole body exposed to the kijin's eyes. The marks he left on her catching his attention the most, and when she walked away, her lush tails waving behind her hypnotically.
It took Benimaru a few minutes to snap out of the daze and get off the bed, looking down at the sheets to see a blood stain he remembered vaguely appearing after he 'Deflowered' the kitsune.
"It wasn't a dream." Benimaru slowly smiled and pulled off the sheets.
~Rimuru~
Rimuru stared at Kayo as soon as she came into the office, watching her closely, because something felt … different about his little sister. "Lord Rimuru? Is something wrong?" Shuna asked as she was helping him with the office work today instead of Shion who was out training. Thie pink princess having come to his home because Kayo had sent her to him last night for her safety as the fox delt with a 'drunk' Benimaru.
"No, but does Kayo seem... different to you?" He whispered to her, curious as he notices Kayo had all 6 of her tails out, swaying her hips and was humming a tune he didn't recognize as she almost danced around the room in an oddly worrying good mood.
"I can hear you, slime ball." Kayo called out as she looked up from her work, bringing the slime a stack of wooden documents over to him.
"Ah... so... did something good happen last night?" The slime asked unsurely, blushing but Shuna looked worried. "Is my brother alright, Kayo?" she asked, and Kayo blushed as she looked away suddenly. "H-he's fine. He slept it off and I made sure there was no aftereffects, and he had a good breakfast. Sorry about sending you away from your home, Shuna. I will take care of dinner tonight, so you don't have to worry." the kitsune mentioned and went back to her work, picking up a few documents she needed to get revised before the doors to the office burst open.
"CONGRADULATIONS!" Antino popped in with a wide, knowing grin with 2 of his other brothers who had the same odd grins on their faces.
"Congratulations... for what?" Rimuru asked, confused as was Kayo. "Aren't you 3 supposed to be on your way to meet with Abisu about the fish hatcheries?" Kayo asked, annoyed with her brothers, even if she trusted they would do what she asked... when on duty.
"Yeah, but it will take like, a minute. We just wanted to congratulate you on getting your first mate!" Diego mentioned and the whole room got cold as Kayo turned her head slowly to look at her brothers, eyes glowing gold and white truing black.
"What?" she asked, looking a mix pissed and horrified.
"First mate?" Shuna questioned in confusion as Rimuru was in shock, having figured out what really happened between his sister and samurai general.
'YOU HAD SEX WITH BENIMARU!?' Rimuru questioned but flinched as Kayo turned to face her brothers.
'Cover Shuna's Ears.' was all she told the slime who was a mix of worry and fear. 'I think she deserves to know.' he reasoned before Kayo's youngest brother Felipe pulled out a familiar book. "Was it like what you wrote in this book? The Karma Sutra?" He asked and the slime quickly transformed into his human form and covered Shuna's ears.
"L-lord Rimuru?" she was confused before Kayo ripped the book form his hand.
"You've been going through my stuff? What do you know about last night? Beni is not my Mate!" she hissed as she slipped the book back into her tails for safety, but in the process, Bruno pulled down her shirt collar and exposed the still visible Hickie's.
"Wow~ You'r NOT mate really left a lot of impressions on you~. Why else would these not heal if he didn't mark you as his mate?" he asked with a smirk before Kayo slapped his hand and blushed, covering her chest. Rimuru was between shocked and depressed that she had been the first to get laid, but with his being distracted, Shuna's ears where uncovered so she heard what the foxes were talking about.
"Did you drug him with that Aphrodisiac? I thought he was just drunk and wouldn't remember last night! That was dangerous! He could have attacked ANY female near him! He could have even hurt Shuna!" Kayo hissed at her brothers before they all heard Shuna gasp as what she had heard. "My brother... was drugged?" She asked in shock and worry before she turned to the 3 foxes. "You did that to my big brother?" she asked and looked far scarier than Kayo did, their sister would never kill them.
"N-no! It wasn't intestinal, Miss Shuna. Honest!" Bruno gulped the 3 slowly tried to back out of the room but the doors slammed behind them and trapped them with 2 angry females. "Y-yeah! We had just put some in Souei's drink. We didn't think he would notice and switch it with your brother's." Felipe added, before all three received hard smacks to their head.
"Don't blame Souei for this one. You still drugged someone against their will. Shuna... would you like to punish them yourself?" Kayo asked as she looked at the startled princess who gave a small smile. "While I don't agree with how you did it, I'm glad Kayo and my brother can be together." she told them and Kayo was shocked and blushing as the Kitsunes where relived, crying at her mercy.
"Thank you for your mercy, Lady Shuna!" the tanked her and the 3 large Kitsunes nearly rushed the small Kijin before Kayo stopped the with several more punches. Standing between them and their merciful goddess. "Shuna may forgive you but I don't. Get to the training fields... NOW." she hissed and the 3 obeyed quickly disappearing into shadows. Kayo barely had time to breath when the slime grabbed her and looked at his sister in shock.
"You slept with Benimaru!?" he asked out loud and Kayo blushed bright red as she looked away. "In a sense. I took advantage of him too since we were both under that drug. I had more self-control but...there was only so much teasing I could take. I'm sorry, Shuna." Kayo mentioned as she looked at the pink Kijin who only giggled.
"I'm still glad it was you Kayo, but where did you get that drug from?" she asked, looking innocent and curious and Kayo got nervous. "I will tell you later but right now, Big brother I wanna show you some skills I've perfected. Can you please come to the training grounds?" she mentioned, trying to change the topic, and a sadistic smile on her face.
'And I'm still a virgin.' She heard Rimuru whine as he held onto the kitsune for a while longer, she pets his head to try and assure him.
~Training Feilds~
Out on the training fields Hakuro was training the goblin riders, the goblins getting a little better, but the old Kijin was still able to beat the whole group by himself.
Then there were some other goblins running drills that Kayo had instructed them to do daily, to keep their bodies in good condition so it didn't leave much for the Samuri general, Benimaru, to do after he had done a bit of his own with Souei who was training with him and Shion. Only it seemed the red Kijin was distracted as he stared off into the sky.
"Lord Benimaru?" Souei called out to the dazed crimson Kijin, who blinked and looked at him. "Yes? What is it Souei?" he asked and the blue kijin looked at him seriously.
"What happened last night?"Soeui asked, sounding odd to the red head who blushed before looking away. "N-nothing special... Kayo just, took care of me." he told the other male, not wanting to tell him what had gone on in his bedroom. Not that there was any evidence, unless Benimaru's spotlessly clean room counted. "You like her in return?" Souei asked as he held a strange accessory in his hand, a small round wooden disk with Rimuru's face on it but a black and white tuff of Kayo's fur attached to the bottom that moved and hid a little compartment for the Ninja to use.
"Yes." Benimaru admitted, before Shion called out to some familiar faces.
"Bruno! It's been a while! Have you seen Antonio? He promised me a spar." She asked Pouting as she liked to spar with the fox siblings as they could take her hits and deal them back to her just as hard. "Oh, he's helping Kurobe with something. Oh! Blue and Red are here!" Burno grinned as he wrapped his arm around both Kijins with a knowing grin.
"Congrats Red! Didn't think you would be my sister's first! Danm, and all night too! You got some stamina!" Bruno mussed and poked Benimaru who looked shocked and horrified that the fox seemed to know. Shion, and Hakuro having stopped to look in their direction, despite the goblins attacking Hakuro seemed interested in what the fox had to say. Only Souei had his eyes closed as he seemed calm and unfazed by the fox's arm around him.
"W-what? What are you talking about?" Benimaru asked, blushing a dark red at the Kitsune's smile that looked at lot like his sister's but... not cute. "Come on, Cheery Boy~. Sis may have put up a sound barrier, but you forgot to close the curtains~." The fox mentioned and laughed at the crimson Kijin's reaction, but his brothers backed away as Souei opened his eyes... and they were not blue any more... but a familiar glowing gold.
"Wait! Lord Benimaru and Lord Kayo... they finely came together?!" Shion asked, very interested in knowing if the fox and Kijin had been together.
"Congratulations, young master." Hakuro gave an amused smirk and the goblins groaned in shock. "Wait did I hear that right? Kayo got laid. Danm it! I thought it would be Ranga." Gobta voiced, pouting threw his pain before there was an odd feeling in the air.
"Bruno~..." Souei nearly purred the foxes name but, it sent a chill through the fox's body as he slowly looked at the kijin ninja. "H-hey you mad bro? You where the original target but you switched your cup with his. She knows and is coming to punish y-" Bruno stopped as Souei slowly looked at him with a creepy and uneasy smile.
"Souei is not being punished... but you my dear brothers... will all be the test dummies for my new abilities~." Souei said, and it sounded like him but not. Bruno hid behind Benimaru but the fox was much larger than his confused shield.
"Don't hide behind Beni. Or are you that scared of your little sister?" Souei... or Kayo asked and the Kijin were confused before something white flew past them very fast and struck the ground, far from them. No one was hurt by the attack, but it was only ment to pull the 3 foxes away from the Kijin and goblins as something on their persons pulled them away.
Bruno tried to hold onto Benimaru but his hands were slapped away by a Kayo possessed Souei who pulled the red Kijin behind them before closing his eyes, falling to his knees as he was given control back.
"Souei? What was that?" Shion asked, shocked as she went over to her Conrad and Benimaru looked at him serious. "Did you know? About the drug?" he asked the ninja quietly, but Souei didn't answer as Kayo arrived in a flash with a Slime Rimuru and Shuna in her arms.
"Right on target." Kayo mussed as she let go of Shuna who ran to her brother as she talked with the shocked Rimuru.
"The Skill: Kitsune Possession, It allows me to possess a target that is willing or weak willed enough to let me control them. The range is 15 miles for a willing target, I can only see what they see on the outer limits but when well within range I can see, hear and feel things as well as move their bodies to do my bidding." Kayo told the slime cheerfully and he looked a little nervous before Souei stood up.
"It's... an odd sensation on the receiving end." He told Kayo as he turned to her, a neutral expression on his face as Kayo nodded as she smiled up at him, missing the small blush on his face. "Thanks so much for helping me with it Souei~." Kayo praised before she turned to her bothers who took that time to escape.
"Now for the fun ones~." Kayo grinned as in a sweep of black shadows she transformed into what looked like a Tempest wolf only black... and then there where 3 that quickly went after the foxes who yelped as the wolves pounced on them.
'A transformation combined with a cloning skill?' Rimuru questioned as he watched the 3 black tempest wolves before he noticed Ranga had come out to watch. "Lady Kayo asked for my help with this. She makes a very beautiful tempest wolf." He excitedly informed the slime, watching the wolves' toy with the foxes before they pulled out their weapons and tried to fight back... only for Kayo to change back into her kitsune from, and pull out her new weapon.
"A pole?" Rimuru questioned, confused as it just looked like a shiny metal pole, then again, she shocked them by using this Pole to disarm her brothers and move in and almost dance like flow around them. Making their disarming look effortless.
"AGH!" one of her brother's yelped as his long-range weapon was grabbed and she sent some electricity down it to weaken him. A used her weapon to block and evade the other two, but the way she twirled around on her weapon reminded the slime of something from their old world. Knocking the sai's out of her brother's hands and getting past her brother's sword to deliver a powerful upper cut to his jaw and all 3 kitsunes where down.
"We give up!" Bruno shouted as he lay on the ground, waving a white cloth with his tail.
"Is she really that good?" Rimuru asked and Hakuro chuckled. "Her brothers are physically stronger but when it comes to agility and skill, she has them far out matched." the old kijin mussed, relived that his young fox student was becoming more skilled. "Could she beat you?" Rimuru asked and Kayo's ear twitched to listen in.
The Old Kijin thought for a moment, stroking his chin in contemplation. "No. Not yet anyway." he mused and was about to walk away before the Kitsune was in front of him in an instant. "How about a spar then Master Hakuro? Then you would know if you had two students who surpass you~." she suggested with an eger bright smile, not having noticed the 3 approaching them carrying something important.
"I guess it's good that we completed your sword then, Lady Kayo." Kurobe mussed as he was with Antony and Kaijin, the eldest Kitsune brother holding a long black box That made Kayo gasp and bound over to them in excitement, her tails happily wagging with excitement.
"It's finished!?" she asked with a wide smile as Kaijin laugh proudly. "Of course. With the 3 of us working on it why wouldn't it? It's one of the finest pieces of weaponry I've ever had a hand in making!" Kaijin boasted pridefully. "Working with Magisteal shards and that strange ore you gave us was fascinating and unique, it is truly a one-of-a-kind weapon." Kurobe mussed, proud to be trusted with making Kayo's sword.
"It was hard to maintain that high level flames but look~ I'm catching up sis~." Antonio mussed as he showed off his now 3 tails before opening the box who show off a sword... with a shimmering blade and a black hilt that looked like it had wings and a strange blue jewel in the center.
"So gorgeous~!" Kayo was drooling as she saw the sword and carefully picked it up, Rimuru gasped in shock as he kinda recognized it.
"Is that...The Master Sword?!" He questioned as everyone around him gasped as he said it name out loud, Kayo happily giving it a few swings, and some 'cuts' appeared in the ground. The blade sparkling in the sunlight with different colors even when held still as some red lines appeared along the blade and made a kitsune face with 7 tails near the hilt instead of the 3 triangles. The handle carefully wrapped in light blue and white hell moth silk, with a red pearl like object on the bottom as a little black and white tuff of fur hung form it like an accessory.
"This. Is. AWSOME~!" Kayo was giddy as she hugged the three weapon smiths who were proud to see her so happy and where shocked when they were given hugs and... a kiss on the cheek for each of them. The kiss spreading a strange sensation threw their bodies as they blushed, except for Antonio who chuckled at how excited his sister was for her new weapon.
"Glad you like it, but are you sure you want to use this against your Master?" He asked looking worried before he looked at the old man. "No offence Master Hakuro, but this blade is nothing like anything that's ever existed before. We three may have forged it, but it is a creation of my sister's brilliant mind." The fox asked the old Kijin who studied the blade and got a little nervous with the blade even Rimuru called a Master Sword.
"Don't worry, I'm not gonna use this in my dule with Master Hakuro. That would be disrespectful of his teachings. I'll just use a knight's blade." Kayo mentioned as she calmed down form finely having her own sword, slipping it into its special sheath that made it look like a little dagger, the Jura Forest Alliance's official crest on it in sliver as it tucked nicely at the small of her back, just above her tails and she pulled out a familiar sword that made Kaijin laughed out loud.
"There is the tricky little Kitsune Sprit!" he Laughed, being one of the few people in Rimuru City allowed to call Kayo so informally.
"Kayo... did you steal that sword from one of the Knights!?" The slime asked sternly as Kayo smiled as she tilted her head innocently. "Maybe~." she said and giggled softly. "Had to make sure none of the feather brained knights got the idea to attack us or interfere with your dule with Father, Rimuru-nee-san~." She called him cutely, and it was effective as the slime cursed himself for thinking it was cute when she called him Nee-san like that.
"Seems the playing field is more level now. However, I would like to make a change to our rules." Hakuro mussed as smile on his winkled face. "If you lose this dule, I get this Master Sword you had created. Seems only fitting." He mentioned and the goblins and everyone looked at him shocked. Kayo's eyes when wide at his suggestion before she gave a soft smile.
"Hey that's not fair! Kayo's brother and the others made that for her, Master Hakuro!" Gobta stood up, not waning his friend to lose something she was so excited for. Only he felt Kayo put a hand on his smiled and the goblin looked up at her.
"You're not really gonna agree to this are ya Kayo!? It's usually just been desserts when you two spar!" The goblin mentioned. "Yeah! No offence Kayo but you've never beaten Master Hakuro!" another of the goblin riders chimed in and the other's chimed in agreement, having become closer to the kitsune during training.
'They care about her a lot.' Rimuru noticed, as the goblins tried to talk her out of the dule.
"That explains why Kayo has been giving her desserts to Hakuro. I don't think she's ever eaten a dessert she didn't make herself." Shuna mentioned and looked sad, knowing well the kitsune had a sweet tooth.
"It's Okay guys. I know I'm gonna beat him this time. Master Hakuro, If I lose, I will give you this sword, but what will I get when I win~?" Kayo asked, seeming very confident as the sword master gave a small chuckle as he pulled out an old book with yellowed pages and lightly charred cover. Shuna gasped as she recognized what Hakuro had pulled out.
"I will give you this. It's filled with many sweet recipes that have been passed down for generations in our village. Our young Lady Shuna herself only knows a few recipes form this tome." he mused and smirked as he saw how focused the kitsune was on it. Her tails giving away her emotions as she was thinking of just trying to stanch it form the elder kijin in case she lost.
"That is a tempting prize alright. No one in our village knew how to make several of them and so they were never taught to anyone. I thought that had been lost with the village." Benimaru informed but was worried for Kayo, noticing her tails movements before they froze.
"Interesting~ and just to be even fairer. I'll fight you as a Kijin." Kayo smirked and her form changed again and most of those present when wide eyed as they saw Kayo had shifted into her own Kijin form. Hakuro's jaw dropped as he looked at the confident woman before him, smirking but her golden eyes held playful amusement from his reaction.
She mostly appeared the same, her usual light blue top and black pants that where normally slightly baggy on her kitsune frame, got a bit tighter as her body explained a little. Mostly noticeably in her height, hips and thighs. Two black horns coming from her forehead as well as some dark markings around her eyes that gave a hint to her kitsune nature.
"S-she's going to fight him as a Kijin?" Benimaru asked, trying not to blush as he did find her new form appealing, but so did Souei who looked away as his nose started to bleed a little. "She's really pretty." Shuna was in aww of the kitsune's form.
"I noticed you looking at my tails before I attack, that was what was giving me away wasn't it, Master Hakuro?" Kayo asked, looking smug as she had learned that habit a bit late as the sword master chuckled.
"Yes, now it seems I will have to find a new way to tell when you are attacking." he smiled and was a bit excited to fight his black fox student both of them drawing out their swords and pausing as they waited for the other to attack or for an opportunity to attack.
It was with a sudden boom the two went at it and crossed swords again and again, each clash sounding like thunder as sparks ran across their swords as they fought, their forms like black and white blurs to most of the observers, but to the more well-trained eyes.
"Lord Kayo is quite fast as a Kijin." Souei mentioned as he was able to keep track of the two fighters as was Benimaru who seemed worried for the kitsune woman. "Kayo doesn't have her strength advantage anymore, but those tails seemed to give her thoughts away." he mentioned as he tried to recall the times, he saw her tails wigging in excitement, stiffen with irritation, curl in curiosity, and go limp from sadness.
"This is hard to watch. When did the little fox become so fast?" Kaijin asked as he rubbed his eyes from trying to watch the two. "King Dwargo picked one hell of an heir that's for sure." He mussed, as now the whole village knew that Kayo was going away... to be King Dwargon's heir.
"Eh! I thought that was a joke! That puny fox is going to be the leader of Dwargon!? For Real!?" Gobta asked in shock, as all the other goblins looked worried that they would lose their foxy friend.
'Maybe that should have been kept a secret.' Rimuru thought as he noticed the thundering noises had stopped and a Winner of their little dule was clear.
