"Is everything set for the Bacchanalia tomorrow?" Sephiroth asked Tifa during dinner.
"Yes, my Lord. And we've let the girl keep enough of her innocence and princessly arrogance to make her a very entertaining centerpiece when we break her completely." Tifa replied, and she and Cloud smiled at each other, half affectionately, and half lustfully.
"Very good." Sephiroth told her, aware of the new rapport between his two most loyal and trusted underlings. "Just remember, the Bacchanalia is your idea. If it fails, so do you."
"Yes, my Lord." Tifa nodded obediently. She wasn't worried, this was their third annual Bacchanalia festival. She had suggested it to Sephiroth during the first year of his reign as a way to endear himself to the populace, and it was a smashing success. The two day party allowing people to fulfill any sexual fantasy they wanted without repercussions convinced many that Sephiroth wanted his subjects to be happy. Most villages had started hosting their own Bacchanalias, but it was the original here at Jenova Castle that people would go to great lengths to attend. An invitation became a status symbol, and the recipient was greatly envied by their uninvited peers.
Later that night, Sephiroth was quietly prowling the halls, heading for Cloud and Tifa's room to follow up on his suspicions. As he drew nearer to their door, he heard noises that he recognized as coming from Cloud. Quietly opening their door enough to spy on them, he saw Cloud laid out on his bed, and Tifa on top, riding him a bit roughly.
"Don't stop, please don't stop!" Cloud begged in between loud moans.
"If you insist…" Tifa smiled and rode him harder still, until guttural cries burst out of him as he climaxed.
"You're incredible!" Cloud exclaimed as he sagged into the bed. Tifa could dominate his body almost as well as Sephiroth could. "I don't care if you can't give me children, Sephiroth was right, you're still the perfect wife for me, and you convinced that stupid blind girl to give us her children so we can have the perfect family."
Tifa frowned, the enjoyment of having her husband back dissipating not only because he reminded her that he was still Sephiroth's bitch, but his insulting comments about Aerith made her want to bash his skull in. But Tifa was trained to not let her emotions control her. She controlled others with their emotions.
Sephiroth left and went to his own bed, secure in the knowledge that Cloud would never betray him. Tifa on the other hand…he would have to remind her of her place.
"I've brought you enough food to last you while I'm hosting the Bacchanalia, and I'm putting it here by the door. Your breakfast is by the fireplace as usual. I'm sorry I have to rush off, but the show must go on." Tifa kissed her tenderly on the forehead and caressed her cheek before starting towards the door.
"Have fun!" Aerith told her, wishing she could be by Tifa's side at what sounded like such a wonderful party if it was lasting for two full days.
"Next year you'll get to be an honored guest." Tifa promised her before locking the door.
"That's your mommy." Aerith said, rubbing her stomach, trying not to feel bereft of two whole days of without the woman she loved. She sighed and went to go eat her breakfast.
As she left Aerith's tower, Tifa wished she hadn't promised Aerith that she could attend next year's Bacchanalia. She didn't want Aerith subjected to all the crude sexuality there…the thought of Aerith losing her sweet innocence and turning into nothing but a cheap whore made Tifa sick. She pushed the matter from her mind as she went to the kitchen for another breakfast tray and then to the apothecary to pick up a couple pills, before heading to the dungeon. "I've got something extra for your breakfast." she told Yuffie as she entered her cell.
"What is it?" Yuffie asked, though she wasn't sure she really wanted to know.
"These." Tifa pointed to the two pills on the tray. She put one of them in a spoonful of the nutritious gruel they fed her for breakfast and lifted it up to Yuffie's lips.
"Wha…" Yuffie started to speak, only to have Tifa shove the spoon into her mouth. Yuffie resisted the urge to spit it out, since that would only make Tifa angry, and she would force Yuffie to take the pill another way.
"And this one you take with water." Tifa handed her the second pill and a glass of water. "Now hurry up and eat. We've got to finish getting you ready for today."
"T…today?" Yuffie's hand holding the water glass started trembling.
"Yes, you're the main event for the Bacchanalia, remember? It starts soon and we need to turn you into such a beautiful centerpiece. Those pills are to ensure you don't get knocked up. You're not worthy of being a mother yet. Now eat!" Tifa snarled at her. "I won't tolerate you making us late."
Yuffie obeyed, her hands still shaking with fear of not only Tifa, but what was obviously going to happen to her at the Bacchanalia. Her fear made Tifa smile, it would make Yuffie's debut all the more entertaining.
"That's your outfit?" Zack asked Reno in disbelief. The now former Turk was bare-chested, except for a tie covered with donkeys, oddly enough. He also had leather shorts on that were so tight, they outlined him well enough that he might as well have been naked. Combat boots completed his ensemble.
"I ain't got nothing to be ashamed of with my body. Women used to fight over me all the time in the good ol' days." Reno pridefully responded. "Are you going to get dressed?"
Zack reluctantly removed his brand new outfit from the shopping bag and put it on. There was a leather vest, deliberately a couple sizes too small so that it had to remain open, leather cuffs for his wrist, and thin see-through silk trousers. Reno had gotten him loafers for his footwear.
"Okay, let's do this." Reno said, grabbing their disguised weapons.
"You're really very attractive." Tifa told Yuffie once her grooming was complete. "Now we're going to get you into position. Your unveiling will take place after the opening ceremony."
"Unveiling?" Yuffie did feel pretty, and being pampered reminded her of her childhood in the palace back home in Wutai.
"I told you, you're the main event." Tifa blindfolded and gagged Yuffie, then tied her hands in front of her. "We're not going to risk you losing your prettiness until then. Let's go." She led Yuffie into the ballroom by the lead rope around her wrists.
