We took Ka'an to a secluded area of the encampment on doctor's orders so that he can have some semblance of peace and quiet. Ordered not to even allow him to duel. My sister Akiza Izinski III, Ka'ans self-proclaimed servant, Maiden of Moonlight, and myself all came out here to watch over him and make sure he does not mess with any duel disks. We rotated on patrols with at least one of us staying with him at all times. He began to work on reports and write down everything that has been happening these few years, all he has witnessed and done. I think he said something about writing a book. He has spent nearly every waking moment working on this and has gotten roughly half of it done when there were a few mishaps. First off, with Moon constantly being upfront about her feelings and intentions, she has tried to get into his bed more than once, and as irritating as that is, what came next though, crossed the line. I caught Akiza kissing him and I nearly lost it! After this, it was recommended that we restrict the bodies around here to two. Akiza was ordered since this has now become a military operation, Ordered to go back to our house, and stay there with Moon watching her until we got back. Doing this keeps both of them away and watched without taking away from any other military resource. Now with just the two of us here, it is far less crowded and explicit.

I finished writing out that report and had just submitted it as Ka'an woke up, I hate reports. We have been, uh, having daily…, nightly…, hourly romance sessions, 'yeah, screw doctors orders,' We haven't gotten a lot done out here, or done enough resting actually. Then yesterday the doc scheduled an appointment to check up on Ka'an and his condition. Now we're going to need to clean up this place and air it out and change the sheets…, you get the idea. We spent the morning dashing around to get the place presentable before the doc arrived, and who should arrive, a Mystical Elf in all her blue and green elegance, oh and she brought along a nurse, Injection Fairy Lily with her little white nurses uniform and very oversized needle for check-ups.

"Miss Shelly, Mr. Ka'an, how are you doing this day?" Mystical Elf asked.

Fairy Lily looked at us for a second or two before sniffing the air, "what's that smell?"

Ka'an and my eyes went wide as we looked at each other, "uh, nothing. It's nothing!"

"I can definitely smell something. It's almost like when I'm with my Smoopy. That's it! Somebody has been mating!" Lily deduced.

"Ah, yes," Mystical Elf noted, "I can smell the musk now. Someone has been matin…," she started.

"No!" We both said together.

"No! No! No! Nothin' like that has happened here!" I stated, hoping to move the conversation in another direction.

"I thought you came here to check on my medical issues?" Ka'an asked, trying to help move past the subject.

"Very well then, let us commence with the examination. Please remove your shirt, and lay back on the bedding," Mystical Elf motioned for him to lie down.

Ka'an did as instructed, and moved to the bed for the examination. Mystical Elf lifted her hands and began to weave a spell to flow over his body.

"The spell will highlight areas whenever it comes across any abnormalities in the normal human male physique." Lilly explained so that Mystical Elf could concentrate on her spell, "but it would be best to tell us now if you've been doing any physical activity beyond what was prescribed by Dr. Malory."

I instantly had to turn around to not look at Ka'ans' cut upper body when she asked us that because all I could think about was what we had been doing for the last few days. Ka'ans' face turned a little pink as the same idea came to him.

"Uh, well…," he started to say something but I cut him off.

"We…have been havin'," sigh, "inter-course the last few days, a lot," I explained sheepishly.

"Ah, so I was right. It is his musk I can smell here," Lily pointed out, "not unpleasant all things considered."

That caught me off guard, "not unpleasant?"

"My Smoopy is a human male too. They have a similar scent and they're not bad looking either," She remarked while looking at him with a side-eye.

I tried to keep my cool but I couldn't help but give her the look. Mystical Elf's hands stopped glowing and the ambient light in the room lessened to normal sunlight.

"He is almost back to normal human health standards, but I would recommend you to not do any more sexual activity for at least forty-eight hours for him to fully recover. If not, it could take another week before he is allowed back on duty." She said with a straight face, but I saw a glint in the corner of her eye.

"Ah, okay, forty-eight hours, got it." I acknowledged.

Ka'an sat up and replaced his shirt over his chest. Ah, dammit! I wanted to look at him a little longer. Mystical Elf stood and moved to leave but I noticed her raise a hand to wipe her nose after she turned away from him. I knew it. She has the hots to get her own human too. I guess we humans are sort of an exotic commodity around here. I'd be surprised if we don't have several newborns, human, monster, and hybrids alike, by next summer. I know I was hoping to bear young someday myself. Ka'an and I were working on that and as soon as we were alone, we are going to be giving it another go. Screw that forty-eight-hour bull, I finally have him to myself and I'm not wasting a single second of opportunity I have with him.

Soon they were gone and I could almost see Mystical Elf raise a hand to her chest as she walked away, and Lily was giggling all the way out. I just stood there watching them leave, Ka'an came up behind me, wrapping his arm around my middle and laying his head on my shoulder, breathing in my scent.

"Let's eat before we do anything else, I'm famished," Ka'an noted, and I agreed.

We cooked some steaks and mixed a salad to eat with a little wine and whiskey, then we sat outside in the fresh air to let it digest a little before we got back to our extracurricular activity. I lay against him and felt him breathe as we looked at the clouds and saw the outline of the near-finished device overhead.

"Ka'an?"

"Yes?"

"If ya' and I weren't together, and we didn't have feelin's for each other, would you have considered Moonie as an alternative for a lover?"

It's a loaded question, I know, but I was genuinely curious. Would he accept another woman into his bed if I wasn't around? Would he accept Akiza?

"I honestly don't know."

His answer wasn't vague, but I can't let it go at this. "Ya' don't know? Moonie has been actively tryin' to get in yer bed ever since we came for ya' in the Gorilla cave, and I think Akiza has started to develop feelin's for ya' too. And I'm pretty certain nearly every monster in this world sees a human as an exotic choice for a mate." I pointed out, "even Mystical Elf was having a hard time examinin' ya' and remain calm with ya' half-naked. I bet she didn't even need ya' to remove yer clothes to do that examination."

Ka'an smirked, then looked off into the distance, thinking on the matter, "I honestly can't think of anything. I wasn't even looking for a relationship when I got you out of your cell and we took the flight to deliver the component for the Baddeck. I think you first made an impression when you came back for me in the administration building."

I thought back on the moment and don't really know why I made the snap decision to run into that building when I saw the goo beginning to overtake it. We narrowly escaped that encounter and then he ran back into a building that was about to be covered as well, but then the miracle of us both attacking the goo at the same time with overpowered attacks at the same time that allowed him, allowed us, to escape with the Baddeck. It cost us a General loved by his men, but it also made us aware of a human faction that was trying to control how the human race would survive, stubbornly refusing to come with us unless they were in control, even declaring war on the rest of humanity to make their point. They failed, sure, but they made their last act a bitter one for more than a few survivors. My adoptive sister lost her father and we lost another great

General due to a nuke they decided to drop as an answer to us not bending to their whims.

"Would ya' accept Moonie into yer bed now?"

He snapped back to me with an incredible look.

"Would ya' take her to bed? Fulfill her wish to be with ya', even temporarily? Maybe even givin' her a child of her own?" I suggested.

He kept looking at me like I was a stranger and I was almost certain he stopped breathing for a minute. "I haven't given that any thought before, but I honestly don't think I would. She may be a 'maiden' in terms of her species, but I don't see her as someone I'd take to bed." He smirked and I could almost feel the disturbance in the air, "your sister on the other hand…"

I elbowed him in the gut, "hey!"

"What? You asked if I'd bed either of them. Moonie is an 'if I had no other choice', but your sister is another matter entirely. She's almost as pretty as her big sister and has promise as a duelist if she can think to use all her cards together." He explained.

I held my tongue for a minute so as to not just curse, but I had to relent to his explanation. He made a point, but I didn't have to like it. I wasn't even sure Akiza held those sorts of feelings for Ka'an. I hoped she didn't.
