I guess you think you know already where this story is heading? I hope I can surprise you a bit here and there. Here, for example ;D You have been very interested and I love that big numbers on the read count stats. But so far, no comments... I really would like to hear your opinion on this chapter. I always thought the relation between Beryl and Jadeite was creepier than cute, and I guess this has influenced me here. Although I find this one cuter than creepy... with the creep part definitely by Jadeite. :D
Edit: Changed the spelling of Tethys. The anime spells her Tetis, so I had a choice of Greek mythology Thetis, the sea nymph, and Tethys, titan, Thetis' grandmother, and the name of a Saturn moon. I really like the Saturn moon reference. Therefor, I took Tethys and Tarqeq from Saturn moons. I can't believe I got the spelling wrong even after looking it up, so I had to look it up again.
So, on with the chapter, and please review!
Jadeite slowly descended the stairs to the cellars, the part of the house that was his. It had been a shabby basement once, but Jadeite had made some adjustments. He was an obsessive collector of youmas and believed in keeping them appropriate to the species, which required more subspace levels than all the other Shitennou together had ever heard of.
Jadeite groaned. Every muscle in his body hurt from buckling up against someone almost twice his weight. He needed a bath, but first, he had to talk to the chief youma in the house.
"Tethys!" he yelled, but noone answered.
Tethys had become very unreliable lately since she slept around with that snow wolf youma of Kunzite's pack. Great, just now when he needed her she was pleasuring that felt mop.
"Tethys!" he yelled again.
"Masster Jadeite!" rasped a voice near his ear, two arms were slung around him from behind, and the soft feathers and fur of the youma's outfit tickled his neck. "Oh, what did Masster Kunzssaito do to you?"
Jadeite grunted angrily and shoved Tethys' arms away.
"Stop that! I need to talk to you!"
"Of course, Masster Jadeite. Pleasse let me make you comfortable. Take a sseat. What do you want to drink?"
"Doesn't matter. Just cold, and lots of it."
Jadeite let himself sink on the black fleeces that covered the floor in the... well, for lack of better words, conference room. After all, they did hold conferences here, Jadeite and Tethys. And on hot days, it was a nice cool place to take a nap that wouldn't be interrupted by any other Shitennou, as they wouldn't ever set foot in the cellars again since Tethys had made it entirely clear what she thought of male guests bursting into a lady's quarter without invitation.
Tethys swept in with a big mug in her hands. Cold steam evaporated out of it. Jadeite didn't even ask what it was. It never paid to know too much about youma cuisine. He took it and drank, and it was very refreshing, and almost didn't go to his head at all.
Tethys seated herself next to him and gently stroked his cheek with her hand. She was a former Dark Kingdom youma, wore lots of black and some pink in honor of the signature colors of her Master, had a porcelain white face, and pitchblack eyes that only glowed red when she got angry.
She took the mug out of his hand when he was finished, took off his belt, sash, and jacket, and with one arm around his shoulders, carefully laid him down, his head in her lap, pulling some fur blankets closer around him.
Ah, that was good. He was so tired, and she was so sweet with him. Especially lately. Probably she felt guilty because of the youma she was with, but Jadeite didn't really mind. He had once followed Tethys and Tarqeq and watched them, and if this was what she wanted, he was very happy she got it from someone else.
"Masster Kunzssaito is a naughty boy," purred Tethys, and stroked his chest. "Wearing you out, and then making you beg for another round and doing it all over again. Nassty!"
Very obviously, he was not the only one who watched others do it.
"Tethys, could it be that this isn't your business at all?" sulked Jadeite.
Such subtleties were wasted on the youma.
"I will have to talk to him about it. I can't jusst watchch thisss!"
It dawned on Jadeite that Kunzite's careful ways with him might have other reasons than he thought.
"You don't have to watch it at all, Tethys. Keep out of my love life. And leave Kunzite alone. I am fine. I needed that. What's in the locked room on the ground floor, Tethys?"
"Don't tell me what you need, Masster Jadeite... noone hass to tell me what you need..."
Jadeite felt her arm lengthen into a long tentacle that slung around him, it tickled, and he giggled.
"Don't try to distract me, Tethys. I need this room. I know it's a breeding chamber."
"And if you knew it why did you ssugesst ussing it at the conferensse?" hissed Tethys. "Do you exsspect uss to give up a nesst? Kill our grubsss?"
So she was overhearing the Shitennou's conferences now as well. He shouldn't really be surprised, but it angered him.
"Damnit, Tethys, you know you should never have allowed one of the girls to breed upstairs. Kunzite gives you guys a lot of freedoms around here, but if we start to raise sun-bred youmas here, we are in huge trouble. We are Guardians now, in case you haven't noticed yet! Whose breeding chamber is it, Thetys?"
Thetys didn't answer. Her tentacle moved on, slinging twice around his chest, and then around his thigh, and back up... it felt like a jolt of energy shot through his body when Jadeite realized it was one of the tentacles with a hardened tip. Tethys meant business with her distractions... Jadeite felt his own tip harden.
But it took a bit more to silence him. He grabbed the tentacle around his chest and built up enough energy in his hand to make Tethys stop the movement.
"I want answers, Tethys. Whose breeding chamber is that?"
Tethys hesitated, but Jadeite didn't let go of her, and his hand glowed all pink. He wouldn't be able to hold that much energy forever.
"It'ss mine," she said quietly.
"What?" squealed Jadeite.
"It'ss mine..."
"Oh Tethys..." smiled Jadeite and let go of her arm. "That's wonderful... congratulatioins... so that's what are doing with Tarqeq?"
Tethys nodded.
"But Tethys..."
"I know, Masster Jadeite... I'm ssorry..."
Jadeite let out a deep moan and sank back in Tethys' lap.
"Oh Tethys... you youmas are going to be the end of me one day... how many grubs? When will they hatch?"
"Ssome... ssoon... pleasse, Masster Jadeite..."
"Damnit, Tethys... this is not my house, it's Kunzite's. Save your pleas for him. If you want my protection, breed in the cellars. And if you want sun-breeds, I don't know, shoot yourself or something. What were you planning for these buggers? Pit me against them?"
"Masster Jadeite!" hissed Tethys appalled. "I would never do that! We... we wanted to give them a placce far away from humanss, we want free youmass in the world again... but I would never do anyththing to harm you, Masster Jadeite!"
"Oh yeah? Do you think they won't have a homing instinct like you do? What do you think is going to happen if they turn up in Tokyo to see their birth place and say hi to their mom? Do you think Kunzite will say, oh, we have some sunbreeds in town which are immune to our attacks, but it's okay because they hatched in my house, so I won't send Jadeite after them?"
"Pleasse, Masster Jadeite... will you help me with Masster Kunssaito?"
"Of course I will."
Jadeite never could deny Tethys a direct wish. She was different from other youmas. He felt the tentacle at his thigh move again.
"Maybe if we can ssave just one of them..."
"Don't be stupid, Tethys. If we can save one, we can save all. I'll talk to Kunzite."
"Oh, ththank you, Masster Jadeite!"
"But you will help me with the birthday party!"
"Of coursse, Masster Jadeite! ! I'm sso happy!"
She playfully lifted him up with her tentacle and swung him around like she had done when he had been a kid, and he laughed like he had laughed then. And after that she pulled him towards her and they did all the things he had taught her to do some years later when he hadn't been that small anymore.
Because this was a special moment, and in special moments, they would play the old games that made Master Jadeite so happy.
Kissing him wile her humanoid mouth turned into her youma mouth parts and back.
Catching his funny little plaything with two slings of tentacles that moved in different directions.
Detailing her humanoid vulva so she could take his plaything in and squeeze it tight.
She had found out more by herself.
For example, wrapping his legs in tentacles and then opening them so she had access to the other parts that the Shitennou were interested in, which had the nice side effect that no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't escape while she was entering his little ass with all kinds of tentacle ends she could produce, enjoying the squealing and moaning, and the movements his plaything made inside her.
Suddenly, he yelled.
"Aah, right there!"
"Are you okay, Masster Jadeite?"
"Ah, don't stop, Tethys!"
He bit her where her scales were the softest, and now she couldn't have stopped even if she had wanted to.
Humans. So complicated. She loved this little one, she always had, more than a youma should, more than her pride should have allowed. She didn't know what him being in her did for him, and she wasn't certain what her being in him did to her, the feelings she had were as painful as they were intense, an completely incomprehensable to her.
But she knew who she was, and what she wanted, and right now, she had what she wanted. And she was pretty certain she knew what he wanted. She powered up her personal magical field so he would feel the contact between her scales and his skin more intense. That was a new one. And oh yes, he wanted it. He bit her again. And this time, she bit back, until she tasted his blood on her tongue.
Time to start the final stage. She had seen blood. Now she wanted to see tears. She was a youma after all.
Stopping him before his orgasm a few times usually did the trick. Yes, it worked like it always did. He looked at her through his beautiful tear filled eyes.
"Please, Tethys, I need to come."
She could never refuse him anything.
"Ass you wishsh, Masster Jadeite."
She kissed him, and then she bit him again. She added another set of ridges to the ends of her tentacles, and then she sped up their rythm until he had this disquietening yell-and-freeze thing that always scared her a bit.
He fells asleep in her arms, only moments after his final yell. But he had smiled at her. She carefully rearranged her tentacles so he would be comfortable, wrapped him in blankets, stroked his damp hair out of his forehead and sat with him until he woke up an hour later.
