Gabrielle frowned at the squirming man she had tied to a tree, You re a very bad man Joe, you know that right? She waited a second for a response she knew wasn t coming because of the dirty pair of the guy s underwear she had rammed into his mouth followed by a strip of duct tape to hold them in. I thought really hard about just turning you over to the police but then I changed my mind. See I have a little bit of a problem with you, you wanted to rape me until I bled. I have to admit, that disturbs me more than a little. So what we are going to do is get your friend Marvin s Domina out and we are going to have her teach my cat girl Dominate. And guess what? You get to be the practice dummy. After that I think I m going to practice a spell that I ve wanted to test out for years but never found a person worthy of it. One of the worst spells I can think of, it erases memory you see. I ve always wondered if you could delete words from people s vocabulary or maybe whole skill sets, but see you ve made me a happy witch because I really don t care if you live or die or end up worse than a bunny girl. It gives me a chance to get in some practice.

Gabrielle waved Tabby over from where she was taking inventory. I ll leave you in charge of the Domina. She pulled the sparkly vanity pokeball from her belt holster and held it out for Tabby to grab, Here.

Tabby nodded before running over and taking the Domina from Gabrielle s outstretched hand, Sure thing boss lady. She flicked the release button.

The Domina looked around as she appeared in a beam of red light, What? What s going on.

Tabby smiled grimly at the Domina, Hi, you were lost to salvage, you ve got two choices as I see it. You can either be sent to the pokecenter and given a level five conditioning cycle and basically die or you can teach me dominate and we sell you to a better tamer than Marvin. As an added bonus after you finish teaching me you get to play with Joe here before we erase his memories and sell him for pokechow. Joe twitched in his bonds frantically cursing in his head as he realized that the ropes were too tight to escape.

The Domina frowned as she reviewed her options, on the one hand she could try to escape but as the cat had her pokeball, escape wasn t exactly the best option especially against someone that was willing to grind a human into pokechow. Normally she wouldn t believe anyone would seriously consider that but there was just something wrong with the cat, a certain darkness of the soul that made her believe she was serious. She sort of sent chills down her spine, and not the good kind. Besides if she was honest with herself she wouldn t mind torturing Joe as the guy had done some rather disgusting things to her when Marvin had lent her to him. I ll help you learn if you promise to sell me rather than wipe my mind.

Tabby nodded, That works for me. How do you want to start?

Gabrielle ignored the rest of their conversation as she turned and went back to where Sarah was still busy sorting the gear. Anything useful?

Sarah pointed to the two medium elemental pistols resting on the ground in front of her. Other than these and some basic potions not really.

Gabrielle frowned, Pistols, how are they helpful?

These elemental pistols fire medium elemental rounds, for example you could shoot a lightening or fire round or other type of elemental round. They re more useful against pokegirls than the traditional firearms that people used in the old days. Still not as effective as another pokegirl but probably better than nothing.

I guess we can take them. I ll send them to Lexie, she can cut them apart and see how they re made. She might even be able to reproduce it along with some fire bullets for vampire hunting. I suspect that would be a nasty shock for them to deal with. I m going to assume carrying around weapons like this is illegal?

Sarah nodded, Yeah, unless you have the proper permits.

Not so much looking forward to filling out the paperwork for illegal guns so I ll probably just stick them in the tent. If you want to stay with your sister and make sure things progress nicely with the Domina, I ll teleport back to the pokecenter and turn Marvin over to them with a note on him.

Sarah smiled, Sure thing, can t leave her alone otherwise we might have issues.

Gabrielle reached down and placed her hand firmly around Marvin s neck, This might hurt a bit. She apparated herself and Marvin to outside the pokecenter where she first arrived. She lost her grin as she noticed that the reason the guy was screaming his head off through his gag was that she had left half of the guys foot behind when she apparated. Well shit, good thing that didn t happen to me. At least I hope not. She quickly checked herself and her clothes just to make sure nothing was wrong. Once satisfied that she wasn t missing any body parts, she turned back to glare at the guy screaming in pain. Oh stop whining, you probably aren t going to bleed to death before I can fix that. She quickly drew her wand and waved it over the stump causing the skin to grow over the wound. There, not exactly pretty but you ll live. She smiled as she waved her wand over the guy and burned I m a criminal into his shirt. Oh I almost forgot. She tapped the guy on the forehead with her wand, Stupefy. She grinned as he went rigid, pocketed her wand and walked into the pokecenter. She plastered a frown on her face as she stepped through the doors into the pokecenter. She glanced around the center and had to fight a smile as she noticed the cute nursejoy, she had meet the first time, dreamily reading a book.

Candice placed her bookmark in her book as soon as she heard the front door chime.

Gabrielle tried for a disturbed tone of voice as she said, There s a guy out there that s tied up, he doesn t look well.

Candice looked up in surprise, Oh, I ll have Sam, our officer Jenny, take a look at him. She pushed an intercom button, Sam, there s a man outside that you should probably collect. She took her finger off the button. I ll treat him after she tells me it s safe to. Was there something you needed?

Ah yeah, I needed to run some pokegirls through the cleaner.

So you just need them healed and cleaned?

Gabrielle gave the girl a slight smile as well as an innocent bat of an eyelash, Well, I got two hounds from salvage after this mean old man challenged me in the forest. But they weren t being very nice about things. She used a touch of magic to conjure tears in her eyes, I called my daddy and told them how badly the hounds were behaving, he said to stick them through a level five and be done with it. I couldn t do that. Do you, do you think a level four would work?

Candice nodded, personally she was appalled by the girl s father s idea of just wiping the minds of the pokegirls. She was just glad the young lady had a bit more humanity. I would think a level four taming cycle would be more than enough to correct the problem. You d never have to tell your dad any different. She thought the girl looked rather cute as she wiped her tears away and handed over the pokeballs. I ll get started on that.

Gabrielle sniffled, Thank you. She wandered over to a bench and sat down while the nursejoy went into the back room to run the hounds through the healing machine. She felt bad about deceiving the girl but not badly enough to tell her the truth and risk having the hounds put down as criminals and losing her credits. She blinked in surprise as her pokedex beeped at her, indicating a message. She was glad that Sarah had shown her how to use a few of the functions on her dex, one of which being her message box.

She frowned as she checked the message. It was from a school teacher out in some fly-spec town in the middle of nowhere offering her sixty thousand credits for the both of them. She briefly smiled as she got to the pm part of the message, I know we can t pay you what they re worth but the kids at the orphanage really liked the pictures you posted on poke-bay. We used to have an officerjenny that came through a few times a week and helped keep the ferals down but she was reassigned after they learned she was wasting her time on us. We had a student get hurt fending off the ferals yesterday and I m afraid it s just going to get worse. I don t expect you to help but my kids convinced me to try.

Gabrielle sighed, I can t believe I m even thinking about this. She was almost done running a search on the orphanage in question when the nursejoy came back out with the pokeballs. I don t suppose you have a pokegirl transporter?

Yeah, there s one every couple of hotels, we have one and an officerjenny, which is more than I can say for most of the pokecenters around the ring.

Well I found a person that needs the hounds more than me. She held up the dex with her e-mail displayed, Besides if I go home and daddy finds out that I didn t level five them, he will be very cross with me. If I tell him that they got lost in salvage he will only be mildly annoyed that I didn t win.

Candice was surprised that the girl would sell the hounds for so cheap, I can transfer them near there.

Gabrielle smiled, Alright just let me type in my response. She quickly typed in the response, Dear Miss Kerbs, after reading your message I couldn t in good conscience take your money for the hounds. Please give them a good home and think of me when one of your pokekits comes of age and needs a good home. I believe that a favor for a favor makes a much better world. With loves and kisses Gabrielle. She looked up at the nursejoy, If you could send them for free to the orphanage I would be grateful.

You know there is no guarantee that you ll ever get the favor returned.

Gabrielle grinned, Yeah, but there is always the chance that I might. But if you ll excuse me I should be getting back to the road. I have a ways to go before my feet can rest.

She smiled, Of course, I ll send these girls along.

Gabrielle smiled as she walked down the hallway and out of sight, Ah well at least they re getting a good home. She looked around making sure no could see her before apparating with a small pop back to where she left her girls.

Sarah jumped back a step as Gabrielle suddenly appeared, You okay? I was a little afraid when I found that when you left. She pointed a finger at the bloody half of a foot laying in the dirt untouched.

Yeah, don t worry it was the guy s foot. I guess I hadn t practiced enough to side-along apparate with an adult. I ll do better next time, promise. She grinned as she drew her wand, pointed it at the foot and gave the wand a flick.

Sarah blinked as the foot vanished into thin air, That s a little scary Gabby.

Everyone always says that. Honestly it s not like he needs it anymore. I ll work on my slide along just in case I have to take someone I like. So how s Tabby doing learning that technique?

She s working hard at it. It might be a while though, at least a couple of days I think, maybe as long as a week.

I guess that sort of changes things, I don t really want Leo to see the guy tied to a tree.

He would flip?

Gabrielle nodded, I would have to explain why and then Leo would do horrible things to the guy with his sword that would upset Tiffany. And I don t really want to do that. No, I think the best bet is to simply let the Domina play for a while then use him for feral bait.

What about the memory spell work?

Nah, mom would spank my hide raw if I ever used that spell or any other memory alteration spell without the person s consent. It s a large no-no.

But she s okay with you leaving the bad guys for dead in the middle of a forest?

I know it s a bit odd really now that I think about it. She glanced up at the sky, While we have some daylight we should probably let Tabby get as much practice as she can before we head to back to the tent.

Sarah nodded, We might even be able to catch some ferals while we wait.

Leo wasn t sure if he should to be cross with his sister or just happy that she was back as she limped into the tent followed closely by an abashed Tabby and Sarah. It was a couple hours after she had said they were going to be back and she was limping as they stumbled in, not to mention her clothes were a ragged mess of blood stains and rips, none of these facts made him happy.

She glared at Leo, I love the girls, but I really need a pokegirl that can deal with bug types, and I fucking hate plant types, especially the ones that try to eat you. Seriously, I m never going out at night in this place again. Oh and get the med kit.

Leo blinked, What s wrong?

I m a little dizzy, it might be from the pain of having my legs cut up by vine whip and or maybe the energy I spent healing myself so that I didn t bleed to death, no, no I know it s the fucking energy it took to teleport with these girls as I was running on mangled legs. It could also be from the thousand fucking needles I had to remove with magic then heal before I died of blood loss. Now I want the fucking med kit.

Leo rushed to get the med kit, You don t have to scream.

Gabrielle winced, Sarah honey, do you think you can take my bag before I fall over?

Sarah rushed over and carefully helped Gabrielle remove her bag before setting it down on the table.

Gabrielle winced as she carefully peeled her clothes off and tossed them on the ground, Hand me the aspirin.

Leo came back over with the mid kit and handed the aspirin to Gabrielle. So what happened?

Gabrielle popped the lid open and carefully shook two tablets out of the small bottle into her hand. She grimaced as she gulped the two tablets down. We were trying to hurry up and teach Tabby the domina s dominate technique when it started to get dark. We knew that there was a chance that the prisoner we tied up would attract ferals especially after the domina spent some time with him. Anyways the stupid prisoner attracted some ferals alright, just more than we planned on. Still we would have been fine if it had only been the first group of feral plant types that attacked.

Leo was trying not to stare at all of the blood covering his sister s skin.

Luckily I got my arms up to cover my face when I got hit with a volley of needles. It wasn t going so badly, we had even managed to capture most of the plant types when the real problems started. The noise and mess had attracted some bug types, which is when things went to shit. Tabby blinked to behind a nearby tree and Sarah curled up in a ball. Only thing that saved me was the Domina actually being a good distraction and some quick spell work on my part.

Leo glanced down at his sister s thighs where there were still wicked looking gashes, How come you didn t heal those?

I did, and several other major wounds as well. I feel like shit, I hurt like hell and I want to sleep badly. In the morning we are going to have a long talk about telling me things I need to know. Like I hate bugs, really means I have an irrational fear of the damn things and freeze up. That would have been nice to know. She sighed as she carefully backed up to the table and leaned on it carefully. Please just no more damn questions until the morning.

Gabrielle still felt like crap even after a shower and allowing Sarah to hit her a few times with her heal card. She flopped down on her empty bed. She was angry at herself for not doing better against the pack of ferals, she was angry that the girls hadn t told her they were petrified of bugs. Mostly she was just angry that she had yelled at her girls. She was really trying to focus on the bright side of things. She was just glad that no one was seriously hurt, well other than the prisoner that got stabbed through the heart by that bug, but he didn t count. At least I can use it as a learning experience, the healing potions need to go on my belt where I can actually reach them rather than my backpack.

Tabby gave a hesitant smile from the door way, Can we come in?

Gabrielle nodded, Yeah, look I m sorry.

Tabby slipped inside the room followed by Sarah, We re sorry, we should have been more clear about the bugs.

Gabrielle nodded, You know this means that we are going to have to get someone else in the harem that can crush bugs for us.

Tabby nodded, That would be nice. Do you think I could sleep in here tonight? I m still freaked over the bugs.

Gabrielle rolled her eyes, What about you Sarah? You still freaked about them?

She nodded, I wish I wasn t but I m really, really scared of them, I don t even know why.

Gabrielle held the covers open for the girls to crawl in, It s nice and toasty, get in.

Tabby carefully set her top hat on the desk before sliding under the covers and crawling over Gabrielle to leave her sister a spot next to Gabrielle.

Sarah slipped under the covers and snuggled up to Gabrielle, We okay?

Gabrielle relaxed as she let the covers fall back to cover Sarah. Not sure, but we will be.

Leo had a grin on his face as he snuggled in the bed with Laura and Tiffany. You know if we get too many more girls we aren t all going to be able to fit on the bed.

Tiffany smiled, Nah it just means we ll need a larger bed. So are you planning on getting more girls?

I m not in any hurry but I wouldn t mind at least a few more. That is if we find some that we can all deal with.

Laura was a little hesitant as she said, You mean we get to help you pick any new ones out?

Why not? I mean it s a group effort, isn t it?

Laura smiled as the hand that had been inching along her stomach trailed down to graze her crotch for a brief few seconds before moving back upward slowly. You can t just do that then stop.

Leo frowned, Do what and then stop?

Tiffany giggled as she worked her hand back south, I think she was referring to my playing. Can talk about what we want for the girl in morning.

Laura nodded, Yeah, just don t stop.

Leo laughed, What am I supposed to do with you two?

Tiffany giggled, Join in.

How exactly?

Well there aren t any hands on her breasts.

Excellent suggestion. ~

Gabrielle blinked awake as she felt a furry tail curling up her leg, Tabby you awake?

Tabby blinked, she was slightly blurry eyed as she woke up, What? I was just having the best dream.

Gabrielle smirked as she reached up and scratched the girl s cat ears, I bet you were. She blinked as she heard a strange sound coming from Tabby, Is that purring?

Sarah chuckled as her sister stopped purring, She does that when you scratch her ears. Well not when I do it, but Tiff can get her to purr really well.

Tabby blushed slightly, Hey.

Gabrielle chuckled, It s cute. So what does she do if you pet her tail?

Sarah chuckled, You d have to ask Tiff. I m guessing purr very loudly.

Tabby slipped out from under the covers and rolled to her feet. She was blushing slightly when she straightened out her shirt and flipped the top hat back on her head. I ll just be getting breakfast while you two play.

Gabrielle smiled as she watched Tabby s tush until it disappeared around the doorframe. She s rather cute.

Sarah grinned, Yeah, you know if you really want to make her happy you should talk to Tiff about it.

Gabrielle grinned, I just might have to do that, but first I think I d like to make you happy. Then we can get some breakfast. She leaned in and licked each of Sarah s nipples before moving to kiss her on the lips.

Sarah giggled at the sensation before returning the kiss.

Leo smiled as a naked Gabrielle and Sarah wandered into the living room, Feeling better?

Much.

Good, it s your turn to cook. Leo smiled as he tossed an apron at his sister.

Gabrielle caught the apron, Alright but after that Sarah and I are going to get dressed then head to the ranch and pay one of the girls to teleport us to a major city. I want to unload the pokegirls, get some supplies and that mana crystal you wanted for Tiffany.

You should check to see if they have any stat ups while you re at it.

Gabrielle grinned, Way ahead of you, I m going to try to use the container the tab came in to scry for more of the same. If that doesn t work I ll just run around town searching all of the shops I can find.

Think it will work?

Not sure but it s worth a shot. Gabrielle slipped the apron on and started working on cooking.

Leo chuckled as he watched Laura and Tiff watching Gabby cook, If you like cooking that much we ll have to get a cooking T2.

Tabby grinned, I don t think it s the cooking they enjoy, so much as the show.

Sarah chuckled, Anything else we need to get?

Leo shrugged, Just play it by ear.

She nodded, alright.
