Tsukune slowly opened his eyes, his vision clearing up to seeing the sky above which had turned to dusk. Small wisps and ribbons of green and red lights swirled around in the air near the sight of stars shimmering from the heavens, a calm breeze rolling by as Tsukune regained his senses. He was lying down on the grass and had a faint sweet taste in his mouth still. As his world came into focus he started to hear something, a girl's gentle melody that was floating through the air.

"Ren?" he asked looking around nearby, not seeing any sign of the siren that was mortally wounded when he was last conscious. He stumbled to his feet then looked over towards the lake, seeing a girl with white feathered wings extended out behind her while she was singing peacefully. She was facing the lake while having her hands held to her chest, the water gently rippling away while a few small whirlpools twirled around and then spread about.

"Ren?" Tsukune said with wonder. He looked around, wondering if he was dreaming, then began to walk towards the siren as she continued her song. As he got closer he heard her singing filling the air, her voice seeming to calm and soothe him as she was all he could hear. The water in the lake gently splashed and danced around in small waves and leaps, seeming to react to her words as she gracefully sang her song. Ren continued to sing as Tsukune got closer to her, her song then coming to a quick steady melody that caused the water to spiral up in small torrents while spinning around in a circle. Tsukune watched with wonder as Ren then held her hands out to the sides, hitting a long note that caused the water to shoot up into a pillar like an upwards waterfall, the liquid then reaching high up before dispersing and falling down onto the lake like a curtain of sparkling rain. Tsukune watched the water display as the girl slowly turned to face him, her smile being gentle and loving while the water behind her glistened as it fell back into the lake.

"Tsukune," she said softly.

"Ren? You're… you're ok," he said as he saw the girl standing there with a smile on her face.

"Of course I am, you saved my life," she said as she slowly walked towards him. Tsukune looked back to the hill then to her as she had a serene smile on her face.

"It worked, I was able to-" he started before the siren pulled him into a kiss, the boy watching her with surprise as her lips pressed against his. He felt the girl holding onto him with a firm yet gentle embrace, her kiss seeming to have a great deal of passion in it before she leaned back and smiled lovingly at him.

"Thank you Tsukune, I would be lost without you," she said softly. Tsukune looked at her with wonder then smiled slightly with a small shrug.

"Well, I did the only thing I could think of. I'm just glad you're ok again Ren, I thought I lost you," he said gently. He then looked to the lake and jumped before he tried to move the siren away from the water, the girl watching him with an amused smile.

"Wait, what are you doing here by the lake again? That thing is still in there, we need to get you-" he said before she started giggling and stopped him, the boy feeling her hold on his arm being more sturdy and sudden.

"Relax Tsukune, I've already taken care of that monster," she reassured. He looked at her with wonder then back to the lake as the girl glanced to the water with a cool smile.

"The lake is all ours now Tsukune, I got rid of that troublesome pest," she said calmly.

"What? You… but… how…" Tsukune said looking to her with puzzlement. She laughed then looked to him with a gentle smile.

"It's ok Tsukune, I've taken care of it, you don't have to worry," she reassured. Tsukune looked at her with wonder as she focused on her blood, a burst of vampire energy suddenly radiating around her as her wings arched back behind her. The water nearby rolled away in gentle waves from the shore while Ren's eyes seemed to reveal more power behind them as they watched Tsukune's surprised reaction.

"I wonder, if I'm more siren or vampire now, what do you think?" she asked.

"Ren, you…" he said as her vampire energy was clearly felt swirling around her. Before she had never really emitted much of a monster aura, with sirens not being physically strong in the least, however now she was exuding a great deal of power around her. She looked behind her at the lake and smirked before her wings flapped down, causing a large splash and rolling wave to shoot out and wash away from them. Tsukune looked at the siren with awe as she smiled at him again, her eyes seeming to gaze deeply into his.

"Personally, I'm not opposed to being a vampire, although I don't seem to have any fangs, so I guess I'm still more siren than vampire if we were to be technical about it. Still, I certainly feel better than ever, all because you were so generous to give me your blood. I can't thank you enough Tsukune, you've given me another chance at life, with the strength to actually stand and fight now," she said graciously. Tsukune eyed the girl over with wonder, her aura seeming to amplify her beauty to him as she suddenly became much more noticeable in his eyes. The gentle curvature of her hips, her bosom which was outlined by her shirt, her hair gracefully swaying behind her, her face which had her lovely pink eyes and alluring smile. He shook his head to clear his thoughts then smiled with wonder at her.

"Amazing, I didn't expect my blood to have such a strong effect with you, I was only trying to save your life," he said. She smiled gently and held him close, casually flicking her hair back and exposing her neck.

"It saved my life Tsukune, but I do fear about what it has done to the taste of my blood. I hope it's still as delicious and sweet to you as it was before, I wouldn't want to take that away from you. Please, try some of my blood, see if it's still… perfect for you," she implored gently. Tsukune looked at her with wonder then to her neck as she tilted her head.

"But Ren, I don't… I'm not thirsty now, you don't have to," he said, his nose picking up her scent and making his mouth water slightly. Her sweet scent seemed to be amplified more as well, the smell becoming slightly intoxicating to him as she moved herself closer to his mouth.

"Just a quick drink then, to make sure my blood is still ok to have. It's ok, I want you to," she assured. Tsukune hesitated then gently held the girl while leaning closer to her neck, the siren glancing to him as she blushed slightly. After a pause he bit down onto her neck, the girl not flinching in the least this time. She held a hand to the back of his head while he tasted her blood, his tongue lapping it up as he savored the drops. It was indeed good to drink; although it had shifted slightly in taste it was still very tasty to him.

"Is it ok still?" Ren asked softly. Tsukune nodded slowly as he kept drinking the blood, finding the taste to be delicious and enticing just the same as before. Ren bit her lip slightly and held his hair a little more tightly.

"Good, it's just for you," she said gently. After a moment Tsukune leaned back and smiled at her as she watched him with caring eyes, the girl not seeming to be fazed at all from having her blood taken.

"It's still delicious Ren, it does taste a bit different but not in a bad way," he reassured. Ren giggled then showed a coy smile.

"I'm glad you still approve of me Tsukune, don't be afraid to ask for it anytime you want. I'm here to help you with your training after all, and speaking of training…" she said before her hands slowly moved down his arms to his hands, the boy watching as she held his hands up to his chest while she pressed her chest against his arms and leaned closer to him.

"We need to give you another workout Tsukune, can't be sleeping all day after all. That and I could use a bit of exercise myself, you're not the only one who should be having fun here," she said with a purr. Tsukune stammered something nervously as she then slowly moved her hands down along his arms and held him at the waist while still holding him close and pressing her bosom against his arms.

"Wait, what? What are you talking about?" he asked nervously. She giggled then without warning grabbed his arm and spun him around, hurling the boy off to the side with incredible force. Tsukune spiraled around in the air before reorienting and landing back on the grass, his shoes carving through the dirt and grass as he came to a stop. He looked back with surprise to seeing Ren flying at him with a kick, the girl striking towards his side before he quickly blocked it with one arm. The force of the hit caused his feet to dig into the ground while a small shockwave rippled out on the other side of him from the kinetic energy. Ren smiled confidently at the boy as he stared at her with wonder, her kick being held to the side as she had a fighting stance while she touched down with her other foot.

"Don't go easy on me just because I'm a girl Tsukune, I can be rough too," she said with a wink before swinging a punch towards him, the boy quickly blocking it with his other hand before she swung at him with another punch, the girl striking again and again while smiling at Tsukune who was watching her with surprise still.

"Ren? What are you doing?" he asked shaking his head. He grabbed one of her fists and held it before she lunged forward and tackled him to the ground, pinning his hands down at the sides of his head while leaning close to his face.

"Why, helping you train with your bloodlust of course. I think I can help give you a good workout Tsukune, and also we can find out just how strong I really am," she said with a challenging smile. Tsukune looked up at her with wonder as she sat upright on his lap, her wings arching back while she gently traced her hands down along his arms to his chest and held him down.

"I need to know what I can really do after all, and what better way to test myself than to fight the great Tsukune Aono," she mused while keeping her eyes locked onto him. He smirked and tilted his head slightly.

"Great, huh?" he jested. She nodded and held a hand gently to his cheek.

"You really are the best Tsukune, there's no denying that. I owe you for all that you've done for me, and I'm going to start by helping you overcome this bloodlust," she said gratefully. Tsukune looked up at the siren as she sat atop him, her vampire aura swirling around her while her beauty seemed to be more pronounced than before while she was seen against the starry backdrop behind her. She blinked then looked down, then back to Tsukune with a smirk.

"Well, seems I've gotten your blood going," she teased as she felt what she was sitting on. He jumped a bit then shook his head with a nervous smile.

"Wait, that's not-" he started before she giggled and leaned down to face him closer, her hand moving from his cheek to his shirt and grabbing hold firmly.

"No need for excuses, it's my job to get your blood going after all," she purred. She then leaned closer to his ear while the hand holding his chest down moved up to his shirt next to her other one.

"Now, let's get my blood going too, shall we?" she said, then quickly rolled over and threw Tsukune off to the side, the boy tumbling around before rolling onto the grass away from the girl. He quickly stumbled to his feet before Ren dashed over and struck at him with a sideways kick, the boy blocking it at the last second with one arm as she pushed through with her attack. Tsukune skid around in a small arc from the forceful hit before stopping, looking at the siren's leg before tracing with his eyes up to her face while she was watching him with a coy smile.

"Don't just stare at me Tsukune, fight back," she teased before she spun around with another kick, the boy blocking the hit then smiling amusedly at the girl while he held her leg with one hand.

"Are you sure you want to do this Ren? I don't want to hurt you," he said shaking his head. She smirked and then jumped up with her other leg, kicking him in the face and rolling back onto the grass as he stumbled backwards from the hit. Ren jumped back to her feet then dashed towards him again with a punch, the boy grabbing hold of it as he smirked at her.

"I told you, I can be rough too," she said with a challenging smile. He chuckled then threw the girl around and into the air; her wings flapping as she quickly banked back around and dove towards him with a kick. He dodged to the side before she swung out with a fist, the boy grabbing it and spinning her around before throwing her down onto the ground. The siren hit the grass with a crash and dug into the ground slightly before she quickly kicked up with both feet and knocked Tsukune back against his chest, the girl then leaping onto her feet and spinning around to kick him again. He blocked the attack then sent a punch towards her head, the girl dodging around it and grabbing his arm. She spun the boy around before he quickly dug his feet into the ground and stopped, grabbing her arm and holding her in place.

"I see you got more fire in you now," he said knowingly as she smiled at him still. She giggled then moved herself closer to him and pressed her chest against his, the boy leaning back with a nervous smile as she watched him with a seductive look.

"I have a lot of fire in me now Tsukune, thanks to you," she purred before grabbing his arm and throwing him over her head and into the ground with a heavy crash. Tsukune chuckled then yanked down on her arm, throwing her over into the grass in front of him as he jumped back up onto his feet. He ran towards her before she rolled over and lifted her shirt, the boy stopping dead in his tracks as her breasts bounced in her black bra.

"Ren, wh… what are you-" he started before she got up and smirked at him.

"Tsukune," she said softly with a purr while walking towards him. He stammered something before she punched him in the face, launching him back into a tumble in the grass as she giggled and lowered her shirt. The boy rolled to a stop then darted to the side before Ren's kick struck down into the ground and tore through the dirt. Ren spun around and kicked at him again while he darted to the side, with Tsukune then sending a punch to her side, hitting her ribs and causing her to cough and stumble off-balance. She spun around with another kick, the boy grabbing the leg and holding it and place while she was facing away from him. She then looked back to him while arching her rear and pulling her skirt up, with Tsukune getting a full view of her black panties as she watched him with gentle eyes.

"Oh Tsukune," she said with a teasing sigh, the boy staring with a stunned expression as she gently shifted her hips around. She then jumped up with her foot and spun around in a spiral, kicking the boy in the head and sending him launching to the side and crashing into the ground as she dropped down onto her hands, the girl then leaping back onto her feet while smirking at Tsukune who was lying in the ground in the large gash he had torn through the dirt. He shook his head to gather his senses then looked at Ren with bewilderment as she held a hand to her hip and giggled at him.

"Ren, why… why do you keep doing that?" he asked as he got back to his feet.

"Doing what? I'm only trying to get your blood going, and also getting a workout of my own in the process," she reasoned with a shrug. She then dashed towards Tsukune with a kick, the boy quickly blocking it before she swung at him with a punch. He grabbed her wrist before she swung with another fist, with Tsukune then grabbing the girl's other wrist and holding the siren firmly. She giggled then waved her chest around gently.

"I love it when you're forceful with me Tsukune," she teased, the boy jumping a bit before she moved her arms down and pulled him closer, with her arms then being held behind her while she perked her rear back and pressed it against his fists while pushing her chest against his.

"Rawr," she said with a wink.

"Ren!" he said as he tried to let go and back away, only for the girl to bash her knee into his chest before punching him in the face. He stumbled back before the girl jumped into a spin kick, the boy then blocking it and grabbing her leg before swinging her around and throwing the girl down into the ground. She hit the grass with a powerful crash, with dirt and dust blasting up as Tsukune stumbled back while trying to clear his thoughts of the siren that were creeping into his head.

"Ren, stop doing that, you can't-" he started before the siren leapt up and swung at him with a punch, the boy grabbing the fist before she twirled around and rolled into an embrace with him while having her arm held around her chest, the girl leaning in close to his face with a seductive gaze as he leaned back with a startled expression.

"You want to hold me, or fight me?" she purred before bashing her head into his, the boy stumbling back before she twirled backwards then grabbed his arm in a reversal, throwing the boy around and slamming him into the ground at her feet. He shook off the hit then kicked up and back at her, the girl grabbing the foot as the dust around them cleared. Tsukune prepared to yank away before he saw the girl's panties from under her skirt, the siren standing over him and smiling arrogantly down at him.

"See something you like?" she asked as she shifted her hips around again.

"Stop it Ren!" Tsukune yelled as he shut his eyes. The siren then yanked his foot up and swung the boy around before slamming him into the ground again behind her. He rolled to the side then jumped back to his feet before the siren flew at him with another kick, the boy grabbing it then spinning the girl's leg around, throwing her into a spiral before he swung her around and slammed her into ground behind him. She coughed out as her back pressed into the dirt hard, her arms dropping to the sides of her head as Tsukune held her leg firmly. He blinked then jumped a bit as the girl spread her other leg out and exposed her panties while she slowly sat up on her elbows and perked her chest up, her eyes gazing at him while she had a timid expression on her face.

"Tsukune… that hurt," she said softly. He stammered something as she tilted her head slightly, the girl then kicking him away from her before jumping back onto her feet and smiling at him.

"A little anyway," she finished with a laugh. Tsukune regained his balance then looked at the girl with an annoyed smile.

"So, you're going to try and distract me like that the entire time, aren't you?" he accused. She giggled and shrugged with a cool smile at him.

"I need to get your blood going don't I? Now, quit playing around Tsukune, come and get me," she taunted before tensing up with her wings arching back. Tsukune smirked as he got into a fighting stance, the two staring each other down while standing on the floating island high above Paradise.

"Alright, but I'm going to get serious then," Tsukune said before dashing towards the girl at high speed. She smirked then lifted the side of her skirt up, showing her thigh and side of panties as she shifted her hips and faced her bare leg towards him. Tsukune jumped as he saw her expose herself before she darted forward and swung around with a hook kick, catching Tsukune around the neck before she followed through and took him down to the ground with a crash. Tsukune shook his head slightly to shake off the hit then stared with wide eyes as the siren was holding him down on the ground, her leg wrapped around his neck with her thigh near his face as she was smiling confidently down at him.

"You need to focus Tsukune, you're stronger than this," she said coyly as she held a hand to his cheek. Tsukune glanced to her thigh then back to her while he tried not to get a nosebleed, the siren gently tracing her hand from his cheek up along her thigh then to her hip while she smirked at him.

"I told you, don't go easy on me just because I'm a girl," she said with a wink before rolling to the side and throwing the boy up into the air with her leg, the siren then continuing her roll before hopping up onto her feet and spinning around with another kick, hitting the boy in the chest and launching him back into a tumble. He rolled along the grass before he got back onto his feet and skidded to a stop, a sudden boom of his vampire power being released as he focused his mind. He looked to Ren with a stern expression while he stood up, the siren watching him with an alluring smile.

"That's it, don't hold back Tsukune," she purred. In a flash Tsukune vanished as a gust of wind raced towards her, the siren then swinging back with her arm and blocking his punch from behind. Tsukune grabbed her arm then spun her around, sending a punch to her side then another to her gut which threw her back into the air with a cough. The boy dashed towards her before she flapped with her wings and shot up into the air, avoiding his punch as she flew around then back down towards him with a kick. Tsukune blocked the attack then grabbed her foot, swinging her around then down into the ground, the girl crashing into then carving through the dirt and grass before he swung her around and threw the girl towards a tree. She spiraled around before slamming into it, the girl's back hitting the wood and cracking it as the tree tilted over to the side while a few of its roots popped up below. Ren started to slump down before Tsukune raced over and punched her in the gut, pressing her against the tree forcibly as it cracked apart more. The girl lurched back with a gasp then looked to Tsukune with an open mouth, the boy watching as slowly a smile came across her face as she grabbed hold of his arm.

"You really are rough with your girls, aren't you Tsukune?" she asked playfully, not seeming to be in any real pain from his attacks.

"I'm just getting warmed up, I haven't even removed the rosary yet," Tsukune quipped with a cool smile. Ren giggled then yanked the boy's arm to the side while her legs reached out and wrapped around his waist, pulling him closer to her while she slid her other arm around his neck. Tsukune looked at her with surprise while she kept herself pinned to the tree as she held him close.

"Well then, let's see if I can get you more fired up than this, I think I can handle you being a little more rougher with me," she said softly, the boy feeling her holding her close with her panties pushing against his crotch. It was more than apparent she was pulling him against her repeatedly while she watched him with a hungry eye.

"You're just trying to be a tease now, aren't you?" he said with a stern smile. She smirked and tilted her head.

"Tease? That would imply that you could look but not touch, and that's simply not true," she mused. He looked at her curiously as she shrugged a bit.

"I'm not stopping you from doing anything Tsukune, whoever said I was?" she said, then yanked him forward and bashed him in the head, the girl then putting her legs to his chest as he stumbled back before kicking him off into a tumble onto the grass. The tree started crack and fall over as the girl rolled back onto her feet against the trunk before launching into the air with her wings. Tsukune tumbled back before quickly getting back on his feet, looking up at the siren as the tree crashed into the ground. Ren smiled coyly down at the boy while her wings flapped behind her, her eyes watching him with a longing gaze.

"Do whatever you want to get your blood going Tsukune, whatever you want," she said before licking her lips. Tsukune got into a defensive stance as the girl flew down towards him, his eyes watching her carefully while he summoned more of his power. She raced down then banked off to the side as he threw a punch at her, the boy then quickly turning around and lifting his knee to block her kick from behind. Ren smirked then threw a punch at him, the boy quickly darting around and throwing a punch towards her as well. She ducked under it and swung at him with another kick, the boy grabbing it and holding her in place as she looked at him with a cool smile. She lifted her skirt and tilted her hips, the boy then looking away slightly while trying to keep an eye on her still.

"Watch your wandering eye Tsukune," she said playfully. He smirked then shoved her leg aside before tackling her to the ground, holding her hands down above her head as she looked up at him with a gentle expression.

"Sorry, but that's not going to work again," he said. Ren nodded then looked down to her chest.

"It's working for me, look how hard my nipples are," she said glancing up to him. He jumped and stared at her with a stunned expression before looking down to her chest. She smirked then rolled them over and sat atop him while pinning him down.

"Haha, you're so cute Tsukune, you actually tried to look that time. You need to stay focused here, remember?" she teased while leaning closer to him. He looked at her with wonder then showed a calm expression.

"Yeah, you're right," he said as he started leaning closer to her lips, the girl gasping quietly as a blush formed on her face.

"Tsukune…" she said quietly as she watched him with timid eyes. Before he could kiss her Tsukune then bashed her with his head, the girl recoiling before he grabbed her waist and threw her off of him onto the grass. He quickly got to his feet then ran over and grabbed her foot, the girl looking to him with surprise as he smiled coolly at her.

"Stay focused Ren, we're here to train!" he called out before he spun her around and threw her towards the collapsed tree, the girl crashing through the wood and bark before tumbling through the grass on the other side. She rolled to a stop and shook her head to gather her senses then looked to see Tsukune leaping over the tree towards her with a downward punch. Ren rolled to the side as he struck into the ground where she was, the girl then jumping back to her feet before he appeared behind her and held the girl around the neck and waist.

"If you want to play dirty then so will I," he said with a challenging smile. She smirked and glanced back to him.

"Sounds fun," she said then grabbed his crotch and applied pressure, the boy cringing and keeling over onto her shoulder. She elbowed him and knocked him back into a stumble, the girl then jumping into a kick at him. He blocked the attack then shoved her off, the girl leaping back and landing down on the grass while her wings arched behind her. Tsukune caught his breath then smirked at her as he got into a fighting stance.

"Well, this is definitely an interesting sparring match, but don't expect me to go easy on you anymore," he said with a chuckle. Ren smirked and tilted her head slightly, staying in a fighting stance as well while she felt her heart beating more quickly.

"By all means, be as rough with me as you want Tsukune."


Inside the main dining hall of Fang Fang's villa several of the yasha's guards and servants were working to straighten up the room and clean up the blood and debris that lay strewn about after the large flying demon from the dark world came trampling through and fighting Dark earlier. The men were cleaning the floors and straightening out the centerpiece pond which had a few fish darting around inside the water while other servants were bringing in tables and seating mats for Fang Fang and his guests to have their dinner at soon.

"Ah, please… please don't do that…" Apoch breathed out with a flushed face.

While the dining room was prepared and their meals were being readied by the yasha's cooks the group had returned to the lounge in the meantime to discuss something else that happened recently. Some of the members weren't present, with Luna, Falla, and Complica not having returned after Luna had ran into the building crying, while Fang Fang was also missing as he was overseeing the dining room's preparation.

"Stop, don't… be so rough," Apoch whined as she shook her head.

The rest of the group was waiting for an argument to finally be settled. Apoch and Astreal had explained why they were found in that rather embarrassing and provocative position in the hall, with their argument over who had bigger breasts having escalated to Apoch becoming rather forceful in her assertiveness.

"Please, I- Ah! That's enough," Apoch pleaded while breathing softly.

Since Apoch dominating Astreal into submission with her breasts wasn't technically a final answer as to which witch sister was more endowed, Kurumu had elected herself to settling the dispute once and for all seeing as how she was a succubus and this was right up her alley. Even with Ruby's rather insistent pleading to just use a tape measurer Kurumu and Yukari both seemed to leap at the opportunity to find out which witch sister had developed more. Apoch and Astreal were of course ok with the matter being settled once and for all, and gave their two friends permission to settle the argument for them.

"Would you relax, I know what I'm doing," Kurumu said as she fondled Apoch with both hands, eyeing the witch's bosom carefully as if she was being scientific about her rather abrupt and hands-on approach to settling this dispute. Apoch squirmed about while she was lying on the floor with the succubus straddling her, the witch's arms tied behind her and her legs tied together while Astreal was lying next to her in similar bonds and watching her sister with nervous eyes. Yukari was standing over them as she watched with an inquisitive expression while she watched Kurumu's handling of the witch.

"Why did you have to tie us up to do this?" Astreal asked worriedly.

"Because you two wouldn't sit still," Kurumu said simply as she jiggled Apoch's bosom, the witch crying out weakly while Yukari tilted her head curiously. Apoch shook her head then looked at Kurumu with a flushed face.

"We didn't want you to settle it this way," she whined.

"You were shoving these things in your sister's face earlier, what are you complaining about with my method?" Kurumu asked with a smirk.

"Why would you two even volunteer to do this?" Astreal asked.

"Why not, we're your friends," Yukari said with a shrug.

"You tied us up and you're groping me, how is that being our friends? Ah! Don't squeeze them!" Apoch cried out weakly.

"Drama queen," Kurumu said simply.

Over in the lowered den of the lounge the rest of the group was seated and trying not to look over in the direction of Apoch's gasps and whimpers.

"So, we're just looking the other way with this one, huh?" Mizore asked plainly while sitting on the couch and having her elbow propped up on the armrest, holding a hand to her jaw while Dark sat next to her while listening to his music with a blank expression. Arial covered her ears and closed her eyes as she sat next to her demon, trying to block out the sound of Apoch's stifled moans.

"Couldn't really talk her out of it, she wanted to do this for them," Rason said while looking straight ahead into space and pretending he couldn't hear Apoch gasping from Kurumu groping her behind him.

"She did seem pretty eager didn't she?" Gabriel commented while keeping his eyes on the wall ahead of him.

"Why did Yukari want to help though?" Ahakon asked shaking his head as he looked down at the floor.

"She's got issues," Felucia said with a shrug while leaning back with her arms behind her head.

"Hey! I'm just making sure Kurumu isn't being unfair with this, I'm not doing anything wrong by observing," Yukari snapped at them.

"Why aren't you helping me? For god's sake she's- ah! Now she's taking my shirt off! Wait, not my bra, stop! AH!" Apoch cried out.

"Would you calm down and stop squirming around so much? The sooner we do this the sooner we can put an end to your argument before you two do anything else that's weird to settle it," Kurumu demanded.

"You're fondling me after having tied us up and our friends aren't doing anything to help us, how could this possibly get any weirder?" Apoch cried out.

"Leon! Why aren't you doing anything, she's going to do me next!" Astreal cried out desperately.

"You gave them permission for me to take care of this however I could, remember? You two aren't going anywhere until we settle this, that was the deal," Kurumu said simply.

"We didn't think you would be doing this to settle it!" Astreal cried out.

"That makes all of us," Leon said flatly while he held a hand over his eyes. Render was trying to look back to see what was happening while Leon was struggling to hold the boy's head away with his other arm.

"C'mon man, let go," Render grunted.

"Alright, I think I got a pretty good feel here about Apoch, you certainly have nothing to be ashamed of girl, I'm impressed actually," Kurumu said with a giggle.

"Th… thank you?" Apoch said wearily, her voice conveying that she was still reeling from her experience.

"Any time, glad to help a friend in need after all. Now then, Astreal? You're up," Kurumu said with a giggle.

"Wait, isn't there another way of doing this?" Astreal called out fearfully.

"Yes, why aren't we just getting a measuring tape and let me measure them rather than resorting to fondling them?" Ruby asked out loud with disbelief.

"This is easier," Kurumu said, followed moments later by Astreal's cry. Yukari kept watching with a curious eye while Apoch was breathing heavily with a flushed face on the floor, her shirt and bra still lifted and exposing her bosom while she had a glazed look in her eye.

"Well, we did promise not to stop them from settling the matter," Gin reasoned unsurely with a troubled expression as he looked down at the ground. Kokoa glanced to him with concern while Sun was drawing on her pad on the other side of him, trying to pass the time and pretend she couldn't hear Astreal's pleas for help behind her as Kurumu was groping the blonde witch now.

"Oh yeah, we're totally doing the right thing by not doing anything while Kurumu is having her way with them," Razico said dryly while shaking his head. Ceal was just looking ahead while his reptilian hand drummed its fingers on the armrest of the couch, not saying or reacting to anything that was happening. Ran was looking down while having a blush on her face, sitting on the floor in front of the couch while she drummed her fingers on the table in hopes this would be over with soon.

"Ah! Please don't be so- AH! Not my shirt, wait, you don't have to take my bra off too do you?" Astreal cried out.

"Of course I do, now just calm down and let me work, who's the expert here?" Kurumu said shaking her head.

"Expert at what? Groping me?" Astreal yelled out.

"You said we could," Yukari said with a shrug.

"No we didn't! AH! Ms. Kurumu, please don't… don't squeeze them like that!" Astreal cried out.

"Someone's a little sensitive," Kurumu giggled, not seeming to show any regret about what she was doing to the witch.

"So Rason, did you know your girlfriend was like this before or after you started dating her?" Razico asked plainly. Rason sighed and looked down while holding a hand over his eyes, hearing Astreal's cries and gasps while Kurumu continued to fondle her.

From the doorway Fang Fang walked in with a cheery smile on his face.

"Good news friends, dinner is-" he started before freezing in place, staring with a stunned smile on his face as he saw Kurumu straddling Astreal and groping the witch's bare breasts while Apoch while lying next to them, the witch sisters both tied and partially undressed with Apoch breathing heavily in a daze while Astreal was squirming about under the succubus.

"Ms. Kurumu! Oh! Don't… don't- ah! Please, not… not so hard! OH!" Astreal cried out with a moan at the end. Yukari just seemed to watch with a curious eye while the rest of the group was seated in the lowered sitting den and looking away from the scene altogether.

"Wha… what in the world?" Fang Fang asked looking to the others with a shocked expression.

"Don't ask," Mizore said flatly.

"So, is dinner ready?" Gin asked nonchalantly while looking back to the yasha. Fang Fang just stared at them then looked back to Kurumu as she was still busy fondling Astreal.

"Well… yes, but…" he said shakily.

"Great, we're almost done here, just a second," Kurumu said while still focusing on her work.

"Ms. Kurumu! Please, not so… OH! You can't- ah!" Astreal cried out as she shook her head. Fang Fang just stared at them with a stunned expression.

"Um… I feel as though a bit of context would be most suitable right now," he said weakly. Yukari looked to him with a raised eyebrow.

"What does it look like we're doing? We're figuring out which one of these two has bigger breasts so they can stop their fighting over it," she said shaking her head. Fang Fang just stared at her with a bewildered expression then looked to the others.

"What?" he asked.

"Just what she said," Felucia said with a shrug.

"Ms. Kurumu! OH! Don't bounce them around like that, please!" Astreal cried out. Leon and Render were straining not to get nosebleeds while Render was still trying to look back at the scene, with Leon now holding him in a headlock to keep him from seeing his girlfriend being handled by Kurumu.

"Couldn't we have asked them to at least go into another room to do this?" Kokoa asked out loud.

"Wait, that was an option?" Ran asked looking to her with disbelief.

"Why have we been sitting here listening to this then?" Kyouko exclaimed.

"Oh my god," Kurumu called out. The group paused then glanced to the succubus as she was staring at Astreal with wide eyes while having stopped her fondling of the girl. She looked from one witch sister to the other then to Yukari.

"Astreal's are bigger," she said with wonder. Astreal breathed heavily for a moment then looked up to her with weary eyes.

"W-What?" she asked. Apoch slowly looked over to her with a flushed face and disbelief.

"Hers are bigger?" she asked.

"Really?" Ruby asked with a raised eyebrow.

"They are?" Kyouko asked curiously. Kurumu looked between the two sisters again then to Yukari.

"Yukari, we need a double-check fondle, right now," she ordered. Yukari nodded then cracked her knuckles with a determined expression, with the witch sisters then looking to her nervously.

"Wait, a what?" Apoch asked shaking her head.

In a flash Yukari darted down and started groping Apoch, the witch sister crying out while the rest of the group jumped and just stared at the sight.

"Ms. Yukari!" Apoch cried out as she trembled on the ground. Render's eye twitched slightly as he saw the young witch groping his girlfriend, with Apoch crying out with a deep blush. Yukari showed a focused expression as her hands moved about quickly before she darted over and started to do the same to Astreal, the witch sister crying out while Apoch was breathing heavily and looking up at the ceiling with glazed eyes. Leon just stared in stunned silence as he saw his girlfriend's breasts being handled by the young witch.

"Please, not so rough!" Astreal cried out as Render and Leon stared with wide eyes and blood trickling down their noses. Ahakon looked down while slapping a hand over his eyes as the rest of the group just stared at the sight with stunned expressions. After a while Yukari stopped fondling Astreal and looked to Kurumu with wonder.

"You're right, they are," she said with a nod. Apoch and Astreal trembled and breathed softly as their worlds were spinning, the two sisters shakily catching their breath before they blinked and looked to Yukari with wonder.

"Really? Mine are?" Astreal asked.

"No, that can't be correct," Apoch said shaking her head.

"It's true, Astreal's are bigger by seven centimeters," Kurumu said proudly while crossing her arms.

"What? How on earth could you determine the exact difference in size just by using your hands?" Ran asked shaking her head. Kurumu looked to her with an arrogant smile.

"I'm a succubus, my hands are like supercomputers when it comes to working with anyone's body, figuring out her breast size is no feat at all for me," she boasted. Astreal looked at her with wonder then to her bosom as she tilted her head slightly.

"Even if I could somehow believe that, how did Yukari come to that same conclusion?" Mizore asked plainly. Yukari looked up with a proud smile as she put her hands to her hips.

"Easy, Apoch and Astreal's breast sizes lies between the measurements of Moka and Kurumu, I know this because I've personally fondled them before in the past and know their exact cup sizes. Apoch has the exact same feel and bounciness to her breasts as Moka does, however Astreal's has more momentum and heft to them when they're held and moved about closer to that of Kurumu's, showing that they have more mass to them than Apoch's. Based on this data I was able to feel the difference, slight as it may be, between Apoch and Astreal by using the same hand techniques that I used with Moka and Kurumu. Therefore-"

"That just raises more questions, a lot more," Felucia interrupted.

"What the hell, you've been groping other girls before this?" Kyouko asked with disbelief. Ahakon just stared at his girlfriend with wide eyes as he tried to figure out a way to respond that that. Astreal looked at her with wonder while Apoch was shaking her head with frustration.

"No, that's not right, I demand a re-fondle!" Apoch yelled out.

"What?" Rason cried out with disbelief.

"A re-fondle? What is wrong with you?" Kokoa barked out.

"Right now, do it again!" Apoch shouted out.

"We're not doing this again, it's over and we're all uncomfortable enough as it is," Gabriel said shaking his head.

"Astreal's got a bigger pair than you do Apoch, it's over," Gin said looking up with a tired expression. Astreal looked to her bosom as a small smiled formed on her face.

"Mine are bigger," Astreal said softly, staring at her breasts proudly before looking to Apoch who was thrashing about in her bonds.

"No, that's not fair, mine are bigger, I know they are!" Apoch cried out.

"Sorry, but my hands don't lie, Astreal's are bigger," Kurumu declared as she pulled Astreal's bra and shirt back into place.

"Sorry Apoch," Yukari said as she redressed Apoch. Astreal sat up while looking down to her chest with a smile of wonder while Apoch sat up and looked down to hers with a depressed expression. Leon smirked and glanced to Render.

"Well, what do you know, seems my girlfriend-"

"You heard her, we demand a re-fondle!" Render shouted out with annoyance.

"What? You want them to grope your girlfriend in front of you again?" Ruby asked with disbelief. Apoch looked to Kurumu with pleading eyes.

"Please Ms. Kurumu, perhaps you didn't hold them tight enough or move them around enough, please do so again right now," she reasoned desperately. Kurumu just stared at her with a raised eyebrow.

"Why are you asking her to do that to you again?" Kyouko asked with confusion. Astreal looked to her sister with a smug grin and shrugged.

"Don't be so jealous, I'm just developing more before you, nothing to be ashamed about," she reasoned with a mocking tone.

"No you're not!" Apoch yelled back at her.

"Yes I am, it's been settled once and for all!" Astreal shot back.

"No it hasn't, mine are bigger and you know it!" Apoch yelled back.

"No they're not; Ms. Kurumu and Ms. Yukari just concluded that mine are bigger!" Astreal shouted back.

"They miscalculated with their test; they didn't squeeze and hold mine tight enough!" Apoch yelled back. Astreal yelled and dove over onto her sister, tackling her to the ground while the group just watched with blank expressions and sweat drops forming on the back of their heads.

"Mine are bigger! See? See?" Astreal yelled as she shoved her bosom down onto Apoch's face, the raven haired sister thrashing about while both sisters were still tied and wrestling around in their dispute.

"Well, I see that little test solved absolutely nothing," Ceal said flatly.

"I can think of so many other things we should be discussing right now," Razico said shaking his head.

"Oh for god's sake, enough!" Ruby shouted out as she stood up. The witch sisters looked to her while Apoch's face as partially hidden under her sister's bosom. Ruby looked at them with annoyance as she walked over to them.

"That's enough, both of you need to stop this foolish argument once and for all. I'm getting a measuring tape so we can settle this and be done with it," she declared. She undid the witch sisters' bonds then looked to Fang Fang while the two girls resumed glaring at each other.

"I know this is ridiculous, but do you have a measuring tape we could use? I don't believe we're going to have a peaceful dinner until this is settled," she said with a shrug. Fang Fang glanced to the witch sisters then back to Ruby with a nod.

"Of course, I believe we have one right over here," he said as he walked over to the side of the lounge next to the kitchen. The group watched as picked up a tape measurer from a table next to the wall and walked back over to the witches.

"What? There was a tape measurer there all this time?" Gin asked. Fang Fang nodded as he looked to him with a simple smile and shrug.

"Yes, I was planning on having a larger TV installed in here later and was measuring to see if it would fit. Did nobody notice it sitting over there?" he asked pointing back to the small table. Apoch and Astreal blinked then looked to each other with troubled expressions.

"Wait, you mean we had Ms. Kurumu… fondle us for nothing?" Apoch asked nervously.

"There was a measurer right there the whole time?" Astreal asked holding a hand over her chest. The sisters then looked to Kurumu with furious glares while the group watched the succubus show a confused expression as she was still looking at the table off by the wall.

"Huh, didn't notice that earlier," she said simply.

"Didn't Apoch run by that table earlier while trying to get away from Kurumu?" Mizore asked.

"Yeah, she was yelling out 'No no, don't touch me, let's find a tape measurer instead' before Kurumu tackled her and dragged her away," Felucia said with a raised eyebrow.

"Ms. Kurumu," Apoch growled through her bared teeth. Kurumu blinked then looked to the witch sisters as they were both glaring at her with anger.

"Um… whoops?" she said unsurely.

"You groped us all for nothing?" Astreal hissed as a red glow swirled down her arm towards her palm.

"I wouldn't say it was for nothing, I did conclude that you had bigger ones than your sister. C'mon Astreal, you should be happy right now, be happy, please be happy," Kurumu whimpered with a nervous smile while backing up. Yukari looked at her with worried eyes then to the witch sisters as they glanced to her with their glares.

"You both fondled us like that for nothing! There was a damn measurer a few feet away from us the whole time!" Apoch yelled out. Yukari smiled nervously and backed up towards Kurumu while waving her hands around in front of her.

"Well, it was a simple oversight, and we were just trying to help you," she reasoned fearfully. Astreal screamed and held her hand out towards them, the two frightened girls grabbing hold of each other while watching her with fright.

"Hold it!" Razico yelled out. Everybody stopped then looked to him as he shook his head with annoyance.

"Not in here, we've done enough damage to Fang Fang's home. If you're going to do this then do it outside," he ordered. Apoch and Astreal glanced to each other then looked to Kurumu and Yukari, the two trembling while staring at them with nervous smiles and holding each other close.

"Can't we talk about this peacefully?" Kurumu asked shakily.

A few minutes later a massive explosion detonated outside the lounge in the courtyard, the powerful bang causing the windows to rattle around while a red and white glow shined through the glass from the glowing ball of energy that exploded violently. From the lounge the group was watching as dust and smoke swirled around outside while the glow of red energy slowly faded down.

"Wow," Felucia said simply.

"Astreal really let them have it," Kokoa said shaking her head.

"That was a lot of energy, even for her," Ahakon mentioned with a worried expression.

"Um, Ceal? I don't suppose you would be so kind as to…" Rason asked weakly while glancing to the catalyst mage.

"Nope," Ceal said with a blank expression.

From the doorway leading out into the courtyard Apoch and Astreal walked back into the lounge with closed eyes and stern expressions. They made their way over to the others then looked back to where the dust was slowly settling outside.

"Are… are they still alive?" Kyouko asked nervously. Rason and Ahakon ran over to the windows and looked around, seeing the dust and haze slowly settling to reveal Kurumu and Yukari lying in a large crater face first while not moving. Their clothing was burned slightly and ripped while Yukari's hat was lying next to the witch with a small flame still burning on the tip.

"Oh dear," Rason said shaking his head.

"Wait, I think I saw Yukari's leg twitch," Ahakon said with hopeful eyes. The two boys ran out to see if their girlfriends were still alive while the rest of the group turned to the witch sisters who had their arms down at their sides and dull glares in their eyes.

"Couldn't talk about it peacefully, huh?" Mizore said simply. Apoch and Astreal shook their heads then looked to Ruby.

"Please measure us Ms. Ruby," they said together. Ruby nodded with a weak smile then guided the two girls over to the kitchen while the rest of the group looked outside to seeing Rason holding Kurumu in his arms and shaking her while Ahakon was nudging Yukari while she was lying face first on the ground still.

"I'd say they had that coming," Arial said with a shrug. Dark merely nodded in agreement.

After a while Rason and Ahakon came back into the lounge carrying their girlfriends, both of which were in a daze while having the front of their clothes and faces dark with dust and ash. They set the girls down on the couches as Ruby was measuring Apoch and Astreal, the sisters having their shirts removed while facing away from the group.

"Are they ok?" Ran asked as she saw Yukari twitch once on the couch.

"I think so, they're still breathing," Ahakon reasoned.

"I would feel bad for her, but I can't blame Apoch and Astreal for feeling a bit violated," Rason said with a shrug.

"A bit? Kurumu and Yukari tied them down and fondled their breasts mercilessly, I'd say your girlfriends got what was coming to them," Leon said shaking his head.

"Why didn't you two stop them then?" Ahakon asked looking to him.

"Why didn't you? Besides, I was going to step in eventually, but I couldn't move because somebody kept holding me back," Render argued.

"Right, I'm sure you stopping that was the first thing on your mind," Leon commented flatly.

"It was one of the things on my mind, don't judge a man for being a man," Render shot back.

From the kitchen Ruby walked back to the group along with Apoch and Astreal who were dressed again, the witch sisters looking at Ruby curiously as she hadn't told them the results yet.

"So? What's the final verdict?" Kokoa asked. Ruby looked around at the group then to the witch sisters.

"Astreal's are bigger by seven centimeters, Kurumu was correct with her rather uncalled for method of deduction," she said with a shrug. Astreal smiled proudly and glanced to Apoch who was looking down with sorrowful eyes.

"This isn't happening," Apoch whined.

"Don't feel bad sister, I'm just developing more first, there's nothing wrong with that," Astreal said with a mocking tone. Apoch pouted and looked away with a flustered expression while Leon smirked at Render.

"Jackpot," he said with a mocking tone. Render glanced to him with a dull glare then to Apoch with concern as the witch was looking away with sorrowful eyes.

"Fantastic, she's got bigger boobs, glad that's settled, can we go eat now?" Felucia asked tiredly.

"Yeah, I think I could go for something to eat as well," Kyouko added with a weak smile.

"What about Yukari and Kurumu?" Ahakon asked looking to the dazed girls on the couch. The group looked to them then started walking towards the door into the hallway.

"They know where the dining hall is," Ruby said simply.

"They'll be fine," Mizore said with a shrug.

"I'm starving, I can't wait to eat," Kokoa said with an eager smile. Rason and Ahakon looked to each other then to their girlfriends who were still in a daze from taking an extremely powerful blast of magical energy from Astreal. Ahakon sighed then started to use his magic to slowly help his girlfriend heal while Rason held Kurumu's hand, feeling the bond flowing through their touch showing she was still indeed alive.

Out in the hall the rest of the group was making their way towards the dining hall, with Apoch looking down at her chest with remorse as Render walked next to her and Astreal walking ahead of them with a proud smile while Leon held her hand next to her.

"It's not fair," Apoch pouted. Render smiled gently and held the girl around the waist with one arm, the witch looking to him as he shook his head.

"You're still a knockout to me, always will be," he said with a wink. Apoch smiled softly then rested her head on his shoulder as he held her close, feeling her heart flutter from his words.

Astreal glanced down to her bust, knowing she was in fact more endowed than her sister, and then looked to Leon with a timid smile. He glanced to her and shrugged slightly.

"I always thought of you being beautiful and perfect just the way you are, never doubted that for a moment," he said gently. She blushed then held onto his arm while looking down with a bashful smile, with Leon then blushing slightly as he felt her breasts rubbing against his arm.

"I hope Luna is doing alright, she hasn't come back yet," Gabriel mentioned with concern.

"Not like she missed anything important just now. Besides, I'm sure Falla and Complica are calming her down as we speak," Razico reasoned.

"The poor girl, I haven't seen her so devastated like that before," Ruby said with worry.

"She'll be fine, she just needs some time to think," Mizore said while holding onto Dark's arm. Arial then bumped between them and shoved Mizore to the side, the snow angel grabbing hold of Dark's hand while glaring at Mizore who returned the look.

"Stop hanging all over him," Arial snapped. Mizore forced a stern smile and shrugged.

"Sorry ma'am, I was just expressing my affection for him, nothing wrong with that," she said innocently.

As the two snow girls starting going back and forth with their bickering Ran looked up with a worried expression.

"I hope my sisters are at least doing ok," she said softly.

"Ren's with Tsukune, she's as safe as can be Ran. As for Rin, we'll find her again," Ruby reassured gently. Ran whimpered and looked down, with Sun then holding her gently while walking alongside her.

"Rin, please, just be ok. I can't lose you again," Ran said softly. Sun looked at her with concern then to Gin and Kokoa, the two also seeing the distress Ran was going through.

"I wonder where she could have gone," Kokoa said looking to Gin, the wolf merely shrugging in response.


Under the blood red moon Talon was sitting down and leaning back against a tree, the hybrid looking up at the sky with a solemn gaze while Jovian was holding a hand to his head and healing his injury. The soft multicolored glow wavered around her hand from her magic while Jacqueline was holding her hand to his arm, healing some minor cuts and bruises her master had.

"Do you feel better now master?" Jovian asked as she finished using her magic. Talon nodded while still looking up at the sky.

"There, good as new," Jacqueline said looking to him with a smile as she finished tending to his arm. Talon glanced to them then looked ahead, the witches then looking over to seeing Rin kneeling down next to a river. The four had stopped in an old forest to rest for the night and recover from their failed attempt on Akua and Kahlua's lives. Rin looked at her reflection in the water as it gently rolled by then to her sleeve which was ripped and torn in places. She sighed then grabbed the sleeve to her green shirt and yanked it down, ripping it off at the shoulder. The siren then looked to her other arm and shrugged before grabbing the other sleeve and yanking it off as well so it matched. She looked at her reflection in the water again with gentle eyes, using one hand to slowly brush the hair around her ear as she was without the familiar feeling of having headphones on like she always used to. The girl sighed quietly then lifted some water to in her hand to her arm to wash off the dirt.

"Make sure she's ok as well," Talon said.

"Yes master," the witches said as they got up and walked over to the siren. Rin saw their reflections in the water as they stood over her then glanced to them as they kneeled down on both sides of her.

"Are you alright Rin?" Jovian asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine, although my clothes are getting torn up a lot. I may need to find something else to wear soon," Rin said looking down to her clothing. Her green outer shirt was now missing its sleeves while it was scuffed up in the back while her whit undershirt had a hole near her belly along with other dark smudges on it. Her skirt was tattered slightly while her shoes had scuff marks on them.

"We'll keep an eye out for you, can't have you running around in rags after all," Jovian said with a kind smile. Jacqueline nodded then glanced back to Talon as the hybrid was looking down at his hand with a blank expression.

"Rin, do you like our master?" she asked looking back to the siren. Rin looked at her curiously then over to Talon.

"He understands what I am better than I do, he knows how to help me in this world, I need him to control me properly or else nobody will," she reasoned softly.

"You wish for him to control you as well? But you are not bound to him as we are, you don't need him to control you," Jovian said curiously. Rin nodded then smiled slightly.

"I want him to, he knows what weapons like us are good for and what we can do, I want him to make sure I'm used for the right reasons. Besides, I have no one else to go to, he's all I have in the world now," she said softly.

"You silly girl," Jovian said shaking her head. Rin looked to her curiously as Jovian scooped up some water in her hand then proceeded to wash off some dirt from the side of Rin's head.

"You're not alone, we're here with you," Jovian assured.

"Yeah, we're all the same, we belong together," Jacqueline added. Rin smiled timidly and looked down while Jovian helped clean her head.

"I guess so. We're all weapons, we need somebody to control us and make us do the right thing," she said softly.

"That's why we have our master, he is a weapon himself, and he knows much about what we are and what we can do. He is the one most fit to wield ones such as ourselves," Jovian reasoned. Jacqueline nodded then nudged Rin playfully.

"But if you want our master to be your master then you better give your all and do as he says, and you need to start treating him like your master as well," she said with a giggle.

"What do you mean? I already am going to help him get his revenge on Fairy Tale just like with you two, what else should I do?" Rin asked looking to her.

"For starters you need to address him as master, he is your master now isn't he?" Jacqueline said with a knowing smile. Rin smiled softly and nodded.

"Yeah, I guess you're right," she said.

"And also, don't worry about finding the one you seek. Our master will make it happen; you will have your revenge just as he promised. Help him with his quest and he shall help you with yours," Jovian reassured. Rin nodded with a whimper as she looked down and closed her eyes.

"Falla took everything from me; my home, my parents, my memories, and now my friends and sisters are gone, I can never face them again after what I did," she said sadly. Jovian and Jacqueline hugged her from both sides, the siren holding onto Jacqueline with a whimper as the witches smiled gently at her.

"You have new sisters now," Jovian said softly.

"You have a new home now," Jacqueline said stroking Rin's hair. Rin looked to her as the witch gently wiped tear from the girl's eye.

"You're where you belong Rin, with those who understand you," Jacqueline assured. Rin smiled softly then looked back to Jovian.

"Thank you, thank you both," she said gratefully. Jovian nodded then looked down to Rin's shirt with a smirk.

"Still, there is one more thing we need to do right now," she said, with Rin and Jacqueline looking to her as she shook her head with an amused smile.

"We need to clean those clothes Rin, you're still so dirty," she said with a laugh. Rin looked down with an embarrassed smile while Jacqueline giggled.

"Yeah, you need a bath," she said before she shoved Rin towards the water. The siren flailed about before grabbing hold of both witches, the three then falling into the river with a splash. Talon looked over to see the girls laughing and splashing each other in the water. The three girls splashed each other playfully while laughing, their voices echoing out amongst the secluded woods they had stopped at.

"Make sure to get behind the ears," Jacqueline laughed as she splashed the siren.

"Can't have dirty hair, that's not proper," Jovian giggled as she did the same. Rin laughed and splashed water at the two girls, feeling a sense of warmth from their kindness at her.

"What are you three doing?" Talon asked from nearby. The girls stopped and looked to seeing the hybrid standing at the edge of the river and watching them with a raised eyebrow. The girls stood upright in the water which came up to their thighs, their clothing soaking wet and clinging to their bodies while water dripped from their hair. Jovian and Jacqueline smiled nervously and shrugged.

"We… were helping her get cleaned up, she was a little dirty," Jovian reasoned.

"Yeah, then we fell in, hee hee," Jacqueline giggled. Rin glanced to them then to Talon with a shrug, the boy just looking at them for a moment before rolling his eyes.

"Get out of there and dry off, we need our rest for tomorrow," he said motioning them to get out. Jovian and Jacqueline nodded with smiles at him.

"Yes master," they said, and then glanced to Rin. She stepped forward and nodded slowly as she looked up at the hybrid, the boy looking back to seeing her brushing her wet hair around her ear with a soft smile on her face.

"Yes master."
