Part 3

Lilith walked around Uminari City by herself. It had been a week since she had been affected by that stupid Jewel Seed thing that Nanoha had pried off of her body and she had sworn off going anywhere near those things if she could help it.

"Then again, her brother has the right idea with them." Lilith giggled as she remembered the pool and how Nanoha's brother had used the Jewel Seed to want all the cute girls to lose their swimsuits. That had been a lot of fun seeing all those naked girls being held up by water tentacles. What had been interesting was the fact that Nanoha and Miyuki, Nanoha's elder sister, were the first two victims of the wish. 'Hmm... Maybe he's into his sisters?' Not that Lilith disagreed with the thought. Nanoha was super cute and Miyuki had a sensual beauty to her.

As she thought about Kyouya, she grimaced as she remembered his girlfriend. "Bleah... Sure, she's beautiful, but..." Lilith grumbled and grimaced. 'Something about her makes me want to hurt her. Same with her little sister.'

Thankfully she didn't have to go over to Suzuka's home, since Ranma had extreme ailurophobia, it was best that neither he nor Lilith went over there if they could help it.

"I still don't know why." Lilith muttered softly. It wasn't like either of them had done anything to her, but for some reason when she was around either Shinobu or Suzuka, she felt like she was around someone who let out the smelliest, wettest fart on a crowded elevator.

At least it was just a general distaste and she could ignore it since they were both nice girls, but it was still there.

As she walked around a corner, Lilith blinked as she realized that she was downtown and it was pretty late. "Huh, I guess I was more distracted than I thought." She was about to turn around when she felt something tickling the back of her head. Looking around, she frowned in confusion as she walked towards the sensation. "Did someone put a magic barrier up or something?" She asked herself while looking around at the skyscrapers around her. "What is this?" Lilith whispered as she touched the front door of one of them and her eyes widened as she felt something surrounding the building. "Interesting." She said as she walked around the building and into the alley between that building and the one next to it. 'There's a mage that's hiding in there.'

Part of her wanted to go get Nanoha, Yuuno and Ranma before trying to go inside but she decided against it. 'After all, none of them can do this." She whispered and walked into a shadow before disappearing into it. Two eyes popped out of the shadow before a black blob crawled across the wall and slipped in and past the barrier. 'The fact that someone didn't think of creating a barrier to stop me like this... Weird.'

She worried that it wasn't a barrier to prevent people from going in, but one to warn the mage in the tower that someone was there. 'Then again...' Something about the barrier had the feeling of "there's nothing here, go away" that most people would be affected by and just ignore the building as though it wasn't even there. Slipping into the elevator shaft, she ran up the side of the shaft until she got to the top floor and slid out from under the door. 'Let's see...' She thought as she materialized back into her regular form. "What's up here?"

"Fate..." A female voice she didn't recognize called out to someone and Lilith floated off of the ground as she slowly made her way down the hallway. "Fate..."

"What is it, Arf?" A soft voice asked and Lilith paused before floating up to the ceiling and flew to the only room that had any light in it before lowering her head to peek in through the open doors.

In the room was a large bed with a small girl with long, blonde hair who was wearing just her underwear laying on it. Next to her was a more mature girl with large breasts, red hair and, to Lilith's surprise, a tail and dog ears. The bigger girl was rubbing some sort of cream onto the smaller girl's back. She was wearing short-shorts and a tank top and nothing else. 'Woah, she's hot.'

"Why?" The older girl asked with a soft voice. "Why do you let that woman do that stuff to you?!" She asked as she rubbed some cream over the girl's back and Lilith's eyes widened as she saw the red marks on the girl's back.

'Those aren't from a fire, someone hit her with something.' Lilith narrowed her eyes.

"Mother is..." Fate shivered as she closed her eyes and sighed from the cream. "Just awkward. I'm sure that things will be fine when we get the rest of the Jewel Seeds for her." She yawned and shifted slightly. "If you're done, I'll go to sleep now, Arf."

Arf paused and nodded, getting off of the bed and putting the cream away before going to Fate and shifting her so that she could rest near the head of the bed. "I'll go scout for a bit."

"Okay." Fate said softly as Arf put a light blanket over Fate's body and then went to the window and jumped out of it, before her body was engulfed in orange light and she flew away.

'Okay, so they must be like Nanoha and Yuuno then.' Lilith thought to herself as she dropped down from the ceiling and floated over to where Fate was. 'What is going on?'

Well, there was one way to find out. Lilith put her head against Fate's head and closed her eyes as the girl slept.

Lilith blinked as she looked around. "What is this place?" She asked, seeing the mostly empty room. At the center of it was an older woman with large breasts, long, dark hair and was wearing a purple dress and cloak. "Who is...?"

"Mother." Fate said as she looked at the woman. "I have a Jewel Seed for you."

"Just one?" The woman growled as she stood up and Lilith paled as she could feel a tremendous amount of magic coming from this woman.

'Dang, it's like I'm looking at the old man who taught me and Ranma magic all over again.' The woman was like a barely held-back torrent of pure magical energy and Lilith didn't want to think about what she could do with it. When she heard a gasp, Lilith turned and stared in shock as she saw Fate suddenly held up with chains in the air. "Okay, what in the name of the Abyss is going on?"

She heard a sound and turned her head to see, much to her shock, the woman's staff changing from a staff to a whip. "Wait, is that one of those devices like what Nanoha has? Does this mean they can turn into anything?"

"You FAILURE!" The woman yelled as she snapped her whip out, striking Fate across the stomach and getting a cry of pain out of her. "I gave you time and training, it's been almost a week and all you can get me is ONE Jewel Seed?!"

Lilith watched, her face pale and eyes wide as the older woman struck Fate over and over again. She could only watch in horror as the whip struck Fate everywhere. Her legs, her arms, her chest, her stomach, her back and butt, destroying the girl's outfit and leaving small, but deep cuts on her skin. "...You're her mother! Stop it!"

Sure, Genma might have been an idiot at times and he could be a harsh trainer, but he never, ever struck either her or Ranma simply because he was mad at them. He made them work harder or retrain what he thought they were missing. Any strikes that Genma did to her or Ranma were simply a result of sparring.

In fact, the only time that she could recall Genma ever hitting her or Ranma outside of training was simply a slap on the butt or back of the head as a reprimand, not a full-on whipping like this woman was doing to Fate.

When the whipping was over, Fate was dropped onto the ground like a sack of potatoes, where she trembled and fought back tears. "...M...Mother..."

The woman's whip turned back into a staff and she knelt down to look at Fate. "I didn't want to do that to you, Fate. You have to understand, it's very important that you get me the Jewel Seeds." Fate nodded. "Now, get out of here and don't come back without at least eight of them."

"Y-yes, mother." Fate got up, trembling as she staggered out of the room.

As the memory faded, Lilith growled as she returned to her body. "That's wrong! That's wrong!" She wanted to scream louder, but she didn't want to make Fate wake up. "Hmm... Maybe..." She put her head back on Fate's forehead. "Are there any good memories in here?"

She blinked as she appeared in a room that looked like a normal kitchen.

Sitting at the table was a much younger version of the old woman that was sitting alone. Lilith couldn't accurately figure out the age of the woman, but the way her face was relaxed, the smiles on her face, it made her think that she was only a few years older than Genma in this memory. '...Either something happened to make her really old or something's not right here.'

Much to her surprise, Fate was sitting right next to her, looking only a few years younger than her. "Huh?"

"That looks really good, Alicia." The woman smiled at the girl, further confusing Lilith.

"Who's Alicia?" Lilith asked in confusion. "I thought her name was Fate."

For some reason, she heard Fate's voice echoing throughout the memory. "I'm not Alicia, I'm Fate."

"...Maybe Fate had a sister named Alicia?" Lilith scratched the back of her head and watched as the woman and the blonde girl, who Lilith thought was Alicia. "Did Fate have a twin sister? Or maybe an older sister?"

There was just one thing that didn't make sense to Lilith. "Where's Fate?" If this was her memory, she should have been here. She shook her head and got out of the memory. Standing in a dark void, she frowned before an idea came to her. "Here." She waved her hand and the scenery changed to a meadow. "I'll give you some private dreams, Fate, you'll have a happy memory here."

Coming out of Fate's mind, Lilith blinked a few times as she felt herself being suddenly grabbed and pinned to the floor. "GUH!"

A loud growl was heard and she looked over her shoulder to see Arf glaring at her. "Ah, you came back pretty fast."

"Who are you? What are you doing here? What were you doing?!"

Lilith smiled at Arf. "Would you believe that I'm just a lost little girl and I wanted to ask for directions?" When Arf growled more, she sighed. "It was worth a shot."

Arf growled at her. "You have three seconds to talk or I'll rip your arm off."

Lilith gave her a small grin. "You know, your hold isn't bad and I don't mind you sitting on me, but..."

Arf's eyes widened as the girl that she was holding suddenly rolled with the way she was pulling, flipping onto her back and knocking Arf to the side. Before she could recover, Lilith gave Arf a quick jab to the throat, which caused Arf to cough and let go of Lilith, who jumped away from her and took a martial arts stance. "That..." Arf coughed a few times. "Was dirty."

"No, me sticking my fingers into your sexy ass would be dirty." Lilith said and looked at Fate, who was still sleeping. "Hey, how about we leave this room so she can sleep?"

Arf looked conflicted and Lilith looked outside. "Well?"

"Follow me, I know you can fly." Lilith yelled as she ran out of the window and jumped into the air before spreading her wings and flying upwards.

"...She has wings?" Arf asked as she flew up after Lilith, who was hovering in the air above the skyscraper.

"Before we begin, can I ask you something?" Lilith asked with her back to Arf. "Does the name Alicia mean anything to you?"

Arf was confused and tilted her head. "No. Why?"

Lilith turned her head to look at Arf. "Because I can see people's memories and dreams. I was wondering what happened to Fate to leave her so banged up so I took a peek in her mind and I came across an interesting memory..." She shrugged at Arf's glare. "Calm down, sexy doggy or I won't tell you." Arf growled and took a battle stance and Lilith sighed. "Fine, fine, there was a memory of her and her mother, but the woman was younger and called Fate "Alicia" and I was wondering if maybe Fate had a twin sister or an older sister."

Arf blinked in confusion. "...I've never seen a sister and I've known Fate since I was a puppy."

"Huh..." Lilith scratched her head. "Anyway, I didn't do anything to her, I just gave her a peaceful dream where she's happy." She then took a dramatic pose with her left arm fully extended and an open palm pointing at Arf. "Hear me! My name is Lilith Aensland! And I absolutely do not like Fate's mother."

Arf's eyes sparkled as she suddenly rushed forward and grasped Lilith's hands. "You mean it? You don't like that woman?"

"No!" Lilith shook her head. "Look..." She had a conflicted look on her face. "Let me come here every night and I'll make sure Fate gets plenty of sleep, okay?" Arf nodded and Lilith grinned at her. "And I get to play with your boobs."

"Huh?" Arf was confused as Lilith pouted. "Why?"

"Because they're nice and big and I want to play with them." Lilith told her. "Also, I'm not going anywhere near those Jewel Seeds, they make me sick."

"Just..." Arf grimaced. "Look, fine, you can do what you want if you help Fate. Can you convince her that her mother isn't a good person? We should run away and..." She paused as Lilith shook her head. "What?!"

"That woman has too much power." Lilith shivered in fear. "She's really strong. You couldn't escape her. I'll help Fate recover so she can do what she needs to do, but..." She grinned as an idea came to her. "Okay, I'll help her relax, but you can't be there." Arf blinked in confusion. "I work best when I'm by myself."

"Ah... Okay." Arf nodded, though she gave Lilith a dirty look. "You hurt Fate and..."

"Don't worry." Lilith smiled as Arf let go of her hands. "I'll make Fate feel REALLY good."

It was hours later when Fate found herself shifting and snuggling against a warm body in her bed. "Ngh, Arf, is that you?"

"Nope." A voice had Fate gasping and trying to sit up, only to find herself pinned to the bed as someone got above her. "Morning, Fate."

"W...who?"

The girl smiled at her. "You're really cute, you know that?" Fate, for some reason, found herself blushing as she heard that. "My name's Lilith. I'm a friend."

"Friend?" Fate asked in confusion as Lilith's hands trailed down her arm. "H, hey..." She hissed and Lilith pouted.

"You poor girl." Lilith cooed softly as she gently rubbed the spot where Fate had been struck. "You shouldn't go through this."

Fate winced as she felt a tingling sensation on her arm. She blinked as Lilith pulled her hand away and Fate stared in surprise as the wound was gone. "This..."

"I can't do much for healing." Lilith told her. "And it works best if I lick the wound, but can I?" Fate hesitated for a moment before nodding as Lilith grinned and leaned in, her eyes glowing softly, which caused Fate to relax. "Just enjoy the sensations. This will be the first time you ever feel like this." She licked her lips. "I wonder just how much you'll enjoy this."

Meanwhile, outside of the room...

Arf was sitting by the door, which was closed, and listened in.

"Feels good, doesn't it?" Lilith's voice was heard.

"Ah, yes, nnngh... Ooooh!"

"Just relax, let your feelings burst and..."

"AAAAH!"

Arf wondered what was going on, it didn't sound like Fate was in pain, but whatever Lilith was doing to Fate had the blonde letting out weird sounds.

It was almost ten minutes later when the door opened and Lilith and Fate emerged from the room. Fate was blushing hard and fidgeting while Lilith looked completely refreshed for some reason.

"That was good." Lilith smiled brightly while Fate's blush got bigger. "Anyway, I'm sorry, I'm going to wash up and then I have to go to school." Fate and Arf gave her a confused look and she sighed. "I don't like it, but since I'm traveling with a couple of people, I have to stay with them and go to school when ordered." With a flash of magic, she was in her school uniform and walking to the elevator. "I'll see you after school again. Arf, you can check her body, she's fully recovered."

After Lilith left on the elevator, Fate looked at Arf and fidgeted. "Um... Are you going to lick me all over as well?"

"HUH?!" Arf yelled in confusion. "What the heck?!"

Poor Fate.
