Chapter 10

"Lord Tsukiyomi." Yasaka gasped in surprise. "Lady Amaterasu."

The guards, Nabiki, Nodoka and Kunou were already bowing deeply to the two deities while Genma, Ranma and Leonardo followed suit shortly after. Atsuko was on one knee with her head bowed deeply. Lilith, Serafall and Gabriel gave polite bows to the two deities. Lillie did not bow, however Yasaka's face showed her flustered embarrassment as she found it hard to bow. "Forgive me, I..."

"Relax child," Amaterasu told the pregnant woman. "You may all relax." She said while she and Tsukyomi gave Lilith, Serafall and Gabriel respectful bows in return. "You are expecting two children, expecting you to properly bow when you are more than halfway through your pregnancy is expecting too much."

"Neither of us would force a pregnant woman to hurt herself or her unborn children." Tsukiyomi told the assembled group. "We overheard that you," he motioned towards Gabriel, "have a question that our followers could answer."

Gabriel nodded. "Yes. My brother, the Archangel of Death, Azrael, was thought dead many years ago, but there was no confirmation of such. I recently discovered that he was not dead, but he fled the war with a Devil of the Gremory family and was taken in by the Shinto faction." She bowed again as tears welled up in her eyes. "Please! I beg of you, I merely wish to know what happened to my brother. The thought of one of my family being alive that I thought was dead..."

"I see," Amaterasu said slowly as she took a deep breath. "Please raise your head, Seraph Gabriel." Gabriel looked up and Amaterasu smiled at her. "Your brother, if he was here, would feel very fortunate indeed. But..." Her smile slipped off of her face. "I'm afraid that neither Azrael nor his wife are alive today."

"...Oh." Gabriel felt herself slumping to her knees as what she feared was true. "...May I ask how they died?"

"Old age, I'm afraid." Amaterasu said as she tapped her chin with her folding fan. She nodded at the shocked looks she was given. "Yes, he and his wife lived to be quite old before passing away, over two hundred years as humans."

"...I'm completely lost." Atsuko muttered.

"No way..." Lilith's eyes shrank to pin-pricks. "...There's a way to turn us into humans?!"

"Please relax." Tsukiyomi told her. "It's a very complex ritual that takes nearly a month to complete and both parties must completely wish for it to happen in order for it to happen."

"However, I should clarify something before you completely misunderstand." Amaterasu spoke up, "we didn't turn them into humans, we sealed away their powers as an Angel and a Devil and they lived the rest of their lives as normal humans. The power that they had was still in their bloodline, but dormant. They would have children, age and die like regular people."

"I see." Gabriel said softly. "May I ask where they were buried? I would at least like to pray for them."

"Of course." Amaterasu nodded at her. "You may pray after we leave. After all, this shrine is their tomb." She was amused at the looks of shock that the entire room had. "Now that's settled... There are more questions I suppose that you may have. First, for your brother, Seraph Gabriel, he had many children and lived a happy life with his wife."

"Lady Amaterasu, you should tell them about your blessing."

"Oh yes." Amaterasu nodded at Tsukiyomi. "Thank you, I would have forgotten. In exchange for allow us to conduct our ritual on him and his wife, I gave them a blessing that for them and their descendants, that they could and would be able to always find a mate among the Youkai of Japan. Even when the Youkai would give into their more base instincts and become Demons, Azrael's descendants would find that all but the most blood-thirsty Demons would be more friendly towards them, including finding them to be an appropriate mate." She smiled at Yasaka and Ranma's shocked expressions. "Considering that this one has a powerful Divine Artifact that made him more sexually attractive to anyone interested, even at a young age, it should not be a surprise that you would end up marrying one of Azrael's descendants."

"You knew all this about me?" Ranma asked and the two Deities nodded. "...Isn't it kind of... I dunno odd to focus on one mortal?"

"Why wouldn't we?" Tsukiyomi asked Ranma. "After all, you and your father's family have been watched by the Japanese Deities for nearly three thousand years."

"This is going to be amusing." Nabiki muttered softly. "Why would you watch one family?"

Amaterasu giggled softly, it was a melodic, calming sound. "Because, hee hee, Genma's ancestor was quite the lady's man and scoundrel back in those days."

"I have a bad feeling." Ranma and Genma both muttered at the same time.

"Your ancestor tried to steal from Lady Benzaiten's shrine three thousand years ago. She was quite upset and appeared before him to punish him," Tsukiyomi continued for Amaterasu, who was laughing and unable to talk, "instead, he managed to use his silver tongue to convince her not to punish him and even ended up seducing and impregnating her."

"...Master," Lilith boggled at what she was hearing, "your dad's ancestor knocked up the Japanese Goddess of Luck?!"

"...So THAT'S why I can even use a Holy weapon?!" Ranma gawked at the two Deities. "Mom's side of the family has the Archangel of Death and dad's side of the family has the Japanese Goddess of Luck?!" The two Deities nodded at him. "But..."

"Relax," Tsukiyomi said while Amaterasu tried to control her giggling, "that was so long ago, around three thousand years ago, any and all Holy power within you should have been a tiny spackle at most. However, your family is blessed with the weirdest luck..." He gave Genma a meaningful look. "After all, did not your mother tell you stories about how she was supposed to be in Hiroshima on that fateful day but she had over-slept, she was robbed and she was kicked by a horse?"

Amaterasu took a deep breath and let it out slowly to calm down. "And young Ranma, you should not have your Holy powers awakened at all, but due to someone..." She looked at Lilith, "deciding to try and suck your soul out when you first met, she jumpstarted all of your family's bloodline all at once."

"...That is..." Ranma shook his head. "So weird."

"...It makes sense." Serafall spoke up and Ranma looked at her. "The fact that you can mix fire and ice into an attack that no one has ever seen before, you would need an extreme amount of control, which is something that the Gremory family was known for. The fact that you could use any Holy Weapon and even hold Azrael's weapon..." She gave the two Deities a concerned look. "What about his children?"

"Relax, Lady Leviathan," Tsukiyomi told her, "any children that you have with him will be fine." He smiled at her, "after all, a blessing that I gave Azrael was that all of his descendants would be born healthy."

Ranma suddenly stood up, to the shock of everyone. "I need to step outside and get some fresh air and think about what I've learned the past couple of days."

"Of course." Amaterasu smiled at him. "Even if you are used to weird things happening to you, I can't imagine that this is easy." After Ranma left, the Deity looked at the rest of the room. "Does anyone else have any other questions?"

"How did you hide Azrael from Heaven?" Nabiki asked her. "I have the ability to see into the past, present and future and I couldn't find out what happened to him."

"A trade secret, I'm afraid." Tsukiyomi told her. "If you must know, the ritual made it impossible for anyone looking for Azrael to find him."

"We must go now." Amaterasu told them. "I apologize if this was not everything you wanted to know."

The two disappeared in an orange and purple light.

Standing on the top of the building, Ranma sighed and looked up at the sky. "...I mean, it doesn't change anything, but..."

"It changes your world-view, huh, Master?" Ranma turned to see Lilith up on the roof with him. "...Never thought that the two of us were technically distant cousins, huh?"

Ranma blinked a few times before his eyes widened and he realized what she was talking about. "I don't think it's, ha ha ha, the same thing."

Lilith smiled and walked up to him, putting her arms around his neck and pressing her body close to his. "Regardless of anything else, Master... You are my Master and I am your slut."

Ranma chuckled and hugged her back, his hands actually staying on her back and not traveling anywhere. "Thank you." He whispered, his body trembling softly. "Thank you."

Lilith closed her eyes and smiled. "No matter what trouble you're in, I'll be there with you. You are mine, I am yours."

"So why don't you two get married already?" A new voice spoke up and Ranma and Lilith turned to see Kunou smiling at them. "Come on! That way you two can both be married to mother." Seeing Lilith wince, Kunou shook her head. "Mother wanted to speak to you, Lilith. In private."

Lilith gulped and let go of the hug, nodding. "...I'll go see what she wants." It wasn't something that she looked forward to as she walked away and jumped off of the roof.

Ranma walked over to Kunou and sat down next to her. "...Your mom won't do anything to her, will she?"

Kunou hummed and shook her head while crawling over and sitting in Ranma's lap. Though, to Ranma's surprise, she was facing him while wrapping her legs around him and putting her arms on his shoulders and blushing. "Uh, Kunou..?"

The small fox girl blushed and smiled at him. "I love you, daddy." She leaned forward and buried her face against his chest, shifting as she did so.

Ranma sweat-dropped and hoped that this was just her being affectionate and not her about to try and seduce him. 'Yasaka would kill us.' Well, he was sure that she'd kill him at the very least.

In a private room in the back of the shrine, Yasaka sat on her bed as Lilith walked into her room. Yasaka gave her a stern look. "Close the door behind you." Lilith did so and Yasaka patted the bed next to her. "Come here. I promise, I will not harm you."

Lilith nodded and gulped as she did so. "Look, I know that..."

"Do you hate me?" Yasaka asked, a pensive look on her face. "...I know that you're terrified of me for what I threatened to do to you if you seduced my daughter years ago." She looked at Lilith, who nodded. "...I see." She sighed and had a sad look on her face. "It wasn't my intention to scar you for life. I just wanted Kunou to be able grow up without being corrupted and seduced before she was ready."

"...The way you're speaking..."

Yasaka chuckled softly. "If Kunou takes after me, she'll be entering into her first heat within the year. When that happens, I won't be able to protect her anymore."

"...So..." Lilith gulped as the big breasted fox gave her a small nod. "...You wouldn't care if I..."

"I don't want her losing her virginity to you and I don't want you to tempt, trick or push her in a specific way." Yasaka's eyes started to glow red and Lilith gulped. "However, she'll be a teenager soon and..." Yasaka sighed. "My little girl is growing up."

"They always do." Lilith nodded and stood up in an attempt to get away from Yasaka. "Well, I'm glad that this was settled, I'll just..." She stopped as a hand grabbed her wrist. "Uh..."

The next thing Lilith knew, Yasaka pulled her into an embrace. "Should not a wife know how to please her husband's first woman?"

"Huh?" Lilith gasped as she was flipped onto the bed and Yasaka had opened her outfit, letting her large breasts, which were lactating, spill out. "...Oh, I have no problem, but..."

"I want to mend our relationship." Yasaka whispered to Lilith. "And I have no problems with a threesome. I know you can call my husband and get him to show up."

Lilith chuckled as she reached up and gave Yasaka's extra large and sentive breasts a squeeze, watching in fascination as milk oozed out of the nipples. "Well, I've never been able to have sex with a pregnant woman before." She muttered and sent a signal to Ranma to join them. "Also, if Kunou joins us, it's not my fault."

Yasaka nodded, knowing the guards would keep everyone out unless it was an emergency.
