Ga Rei Hime

Nineteen

"Ah wonder if I turned up beside her dressed in just a transparent nightie...," Shizuru mused to herself thoughtfully.

"Natsuki would run away screaming," Midori noted, the two women talking in her kitchen. It was evening, and they were dressed casually as they had tea.

"Ugh," Shizuru sighed.

Midori was very aware of Shizuru being interested in Natsuki, and decided to give her some advice. Shizuru had been a bit wary but had been told by Rena Sayers that Midori was trustworthy AND Natsuki's close friend.

"Here," Midori refilled her tea.

"Thanks," Shizuru sighed. "So... what IS Miss Kuga's type?"

Midoru sipped her own tea as she said, "You've got to be a bit more subtle. She actually doesn't mind an aggressive girl."

"Really?" Shizuru brightened.

"If we get to know each other better, I'll tell you about her girlfriend who liked leashes and all that stuff," Midori noted, amused.

Shizuru raised her eyebrows, surprised.

"Yeah," Midori shrugged, "anyway.. the thing is, you have to let HER chase YOU. Natsuki has to think it's her own idea."

Shizuru sighed as she summarized, "So... pretend to be meek and quiet, then pounce?"

"Ha!" Midori chuckled, "Pretty much."

"And I hear there's other women after her too... including my superior, Ms Sayers?" Shizuru asked with a sigh.

"And that cop Sara too," Midori noted, amused.

"You're enjoying us all chasing her, aren't you?" Shizuru sighed.

Yup," Midori smirked.

"Argh," Shizuru groaned.

"So how are you all settling in?" Midori changed the subject. The three women had moved in a few days ago, mostly with no problems.

"Quite well, other than hearing Mai and Mikoto making out," Shizuru sighed.

"Think walls, this is a older home" Midori conceded. "They're doing that THAT often?" she had to ask.

"Young love," Shizuru shrugged eloquently.

"And Nao?" Midori wondered.

"She... likes to go out," Shizuru noted mildly.

"Oooh, baby...," Nao sighed, the slim redhead laying exhausted.

"I thought you liked to call me Daddy," the busty blonde Haruka teased as they lay in a pile on the hotel bed.

"Or Mistress," Yukino noted, the slightly mousy brown haired woman filmimg on her phone. They had gotten Nao's consent, as Yukino and Haruka liked to save such video clips for their personal collection.

Nao didn't really mind it, there were weirder kinks out there. Plus, being filmed while cumming was kind of hot...

"You okay?" Haruka checked. She had been a bit rough with Nao the last round, though the other woman hadn't protested.

"I've been fisted before," Nao admitted, "but you have big hands, Daddy." She reassured her, "Mind you, I enjoyed it."

"Good," Haruka smiled smugly.

"Haruka, we need to get going," Yukino noted briskly, shifting back into her 'professional assistant mode.'

Nao hid a flash of annoyance. The other woman was SO stiff!

"I rented the room for the night," Haruka said as she got off the bed, "you can stay and shower, or whatever."

"Yeah," Nao stretched, feeling both women's eyes on her.

Yukino hesitated a moment then asked, "Miss Yuuki... I was wondering if you wanted to make this a regular thing?"

Nao felt a twinge of surprise. "And be exclusive?" she asked.

"Yes," Haruka nodded, the two clearly having discussed this earlier.

They had gotten together three times so far... and Nao had enjoyed herself immensely. In fact, she hadn't even considered looking at anyone else, too...

"I think I'd be okay with that," Nao conceded.

"Miss Fumi," Elliot Chandler nodded to the other woman .

"Chief," Fumi nodded, "here to see the Mayor?"

"Please," Elliot nodded.

Elliot REALLY HATED checking in with Mashiro Kazahana, but it came with the job of Police Chief. The woman creeped her out, honestly.

"Chief," Mashiro nodded as she rolled in in her old fashioned wheelchair.

'Why doesn't she get a modern one?' Elliot wondered.

"Tea?" Fumi asked them, smiling warmly.

"Thanks but no thanks," Elliot shook her head. She addressed Mashiro, "So far, there don't seem to be issues with the Hunters."

Mashiro nodded, "I understand they dealt with a goblin infestation?"

"Which I was happy to leave to them," Elliot admitted.

Goblins were nasty little critters. While not that dangerous alone, they could swarm you... and were absolutely filthy. And they took humans both for food and as incubators for their 'eggs.'

"As we've discussed, I want the police to steer clear of bounty hunters bringing in Entities," she said flatly.

"Wouldn't it be best to leave things to the Hunters?" Elliot offered.

Mashiro shook her head, "No, I want samples."

Elliot did NOT want to know what Mashiro was doing with the Entities, too. Not any of her business either.

"Yes ma'am," Elliot nodded reluctantly.

Mashiro looked thoughtful, "I still want to meet Natsuki Kasuga..."

"I'm not sure that would be wise," Ekkiot offered mildly.

"Yes, Mistress," Fumi added, "she is dangerously unpredictable."

"Hmph," Mashiro pouted, looking much younger all of a sudden. "All right," she sighed, "you can go."

"Thank you," and with that Elliot fled, relieved to be escaping with her life.

Natsuki strode down the street in Fuka, out on an evening patrol. With the Hunters in town she probably didn't need to do this, as such, but it made her feel better. She wore jeans and a t-shirt, with a leather jacket hiding her pistols in underarm holsters.

'I was SURE Yomi Isayama would go to Fuka,' Natsuki mused, 'but no sign of her. Was I wrong, then?'

Yomi Isayama had killed and revived Natsuki, after destroying Natsuki's military unit. Ever since Natsuki had been driven by the need to avenge herself... well, mostly. She had to admit lately she had been distracted by everything going on here...

"Brooding, again?" a amused voice noted.

Natsuki spun around, nearby drawing her pistols before recognizing Rena Sayers. "Don't DO that," she scolded.

Rena smiled a bit apologetically, "Sorry."

"I should have been paying more attention," Natsuki admitted.

"Well, my sneaking up on a armed woman wasn't smart," Rena conceded. "It's been a quiet night so far."

"I'm still not used to all the 'harmless' Entities around Fuka," Natsuki admitted.

"As a Hunter my first instinct is to fight too," Rena agreed with her willingly, "but I feel coexistence is possible."

"Uh huh," Natsuki said dubiously.

Rena smiled, "It's a nice night. Walk with me a bit?"

Natsuki hesitated, then shrugged. "Sure, why not?" she said.

Natsuki was unaware of the smug smile on Rena's face...

To be continued...

Notes: I suck at writing sex scenes, but at some point I may do a one shot on Nao/Haruka/Yukino over on Archive Of Our Own. I also need to figure out if Yukino has a 'kink' other than liking to watch. As her 'childe' in Mai Hime is functionally a tentacle monster/plant, maybe she likes tying folks up?
