Chapter 2: Good Fortune.
Mattia Turzo - Innermore (1)
Ever since she was a young girl, all she could remember was wanting to live a simple life. Have some friends whom she could value with all her being. And be the best that she could be, not perfect because she knew that true perfection never existed. She gave it her all and was denied a lot of things. But she never gave up.
She loved her family, but especially her big sister dearly. She was glad to have such beautiful lustrous straight black hair that reached past her waist and violet eyes just like their mother. She looked to the future with a positive attitude.
Then, her marriage contract happened. She felt trapped because of it. But, thanks to her higher-than-average intellect she learned a valuable lesson from this. Never take into face value what is presented to you, because she knew that her 'betrothed' was the typical devil male stereotype. (1)
He accepted the conditions she set. Basically, they would have a 'duel' of her choice and if he won, she would do anything he told her no questions asked. But, if she won he would renounce his family name, prestige as a devil, and give up the marriage contract. As a bonus to make it more 'juicy' for him, she said that if he won. She would only recruit female peerage members and he would be allowed to take their virginities. To that added proposition he fell for her trap quite easily. Hook, line and sinker.
For you see, Sona Sitri of the Sitri house wasn't just a simple young desperate maiden trying to flee from her destiny.
No.
She stopped believing and expecting things to go on the best path. For her, fairy tales no longer existed.
No.
She knew that good fortune came at a price thanks to a simple contract.
So, using the tools given to her. Mainly her intellect. She obtained her freedom. She still remembers that day quite vividly. She sought her 'betrothed' and told him to have a special chess game, only once, with her.
In this special game of chess, both families were to be witnesses to the sacred devil pact that took place. One which used an ancient spell to mark her and his heart. This ancient spell was quite simple but effective and she loved it.
She was able to devise her plans and strategies thanks to this simple spell. Ok, she called it simple. But, in reality, as she said the spell was ancient. She did try to understand most of it, but the formulas, matrixes and composition of the spell were so outdated she wasn't able to find that much information about it. Even when she researched the forbidden zone of the library, the most she could get was the erasing of complete existence on the unfulfillment part. Basically, it was a sort of gambling contract.
To show her resolve, she cut off her long lustrous hair in a short bob style and decided to start using a simple pair of spectacles. She filed a meeting with her parents, one in which both were dumbfounded by her new features and asked her why she did it. She explained to them her point of view and talked to them logically. They didn't want to listen to reasons, and she was glad because their denial was within the range of her expectations. So, without even allowing them to react she cast the spell on herself in front of them.
They tried to stop her, but whatever they tried was stopped by an invisible force. This forced them to be able to only stare in incredulity and fear as the spell took place on her whole being. Ancient language surrounded her. Then, scribbles, formulas as dark as a pit of tar started appearing on the floor and slithered up from the sole of her toes to her calves to her legs. Finally, they all connected on her forehead.
"I, Sona Sitri of the Sitri household accept this contract in exchange for my entire existence. I will defeat all beings that dare ask for my hand in marriage in a game of chess. Should I be defeated in any game of chess once, I will submit my entire being for all of eternity even after death to fulfil all wishes that the being that won against me demands of me. No matter which demands they are." Her voice wasn't the strongest nor the deepest, but in that moment with the formulas, scribbles and everything else. She looked ominous. She was truly betting it all.
"Contract accepted." Was the single sentence that was heard in the ominous silence.
The spell finalized its cast and the scribbles and formulas started disappearing. She wanted to pass out, she wanted to yell because of how tired she felt at that moment. But, she didn't.
No.
After hearing the voice say those words. She looked at her parents with the most serious face they had seen her ever have and pointed a finger at them.
"I challenge you father and mother to a game of chess for my freedom!" Her finger pointed directly at them she adjusted her spectacles with 2 fingers never betraying any single emotion on her face.
They saw how an ominous shadow 'materialized' behind her and they saw his blank eyes look directly at them, then it looked down at their daughter.
"You do know. Thanks to this contract you are obliged to keep challenging different beings in matches of chess games from here onwards until you are defeated, Right?"The being asked the young at the time girl who only nodded and didn't look back at all.
"Well then. I will only appear again when you lose to make sure your part of the contract is fulfilled. If you do not fulfil your part of the contract, you will cease to be."
"I understand."
That day she won her freedom from her parents, and they agreed to allow her to do what she thought was best for her. First instance, she would be allowed the chance to challenge her 'fiancee' for her freedom. He was so easy to beat as she said.
But, the interesting thing was what happened once the contract was not fulfilled. He was beyond enraged with her, saying that she had cheated and that he wouldn't allow her to be free from him.
The being appeared again thanks to the contract formed before the chess match and without even saying a word cut off her ex-bethroted's head and disappeared with the whole body. (1)
From that day onwards, everyone knew that she was 'cursed' and didn't want to send arranged marriages to her. There were some brave beings who they thought could fit the description of a potential life partner and challenged her. But every single time she kept beating them. As she didn't want to be known as a killer or something like that. She just made simple bets against those beings.
Even then, the distrust of her reached such levels that she became a sort of outcast in their society. Every time she tried to bring up a new way to help devil society, they gave her a wide berth because they didn't want to be near her. She wanted to lash out at everyone but, she didn't.
She reigned herself in and started using an even more stoic face. She even started pushing her older sister away from her, even though it hurt her so badly to do so. But she did it so that her big sister's image didn't drop because of her.
Then, the day came when her family and Rias' family started interacting with each other. She kept herself quiet throughout their interactions. Suddenly, Rias appeared right by her side and asked if she wanted to play a game of chess with her. Both families were surprised because no children wanted to play with Sona for a long time.
Not knowing what to do but never one to let a game of chess go she accepted. That day she had fun, obviously she won. And as a bonus, her 'automatic' spell didn't activate. Later on, she would realize after a lot of simple games, that the spell didn't affect if the other party didn't want her hand in marriage. She found herself a friend and rival on Rias. She was glad.
Her life was looking up, she allowed herself to relax a little. She got herself her peerage members and made it a competition with Rias on who got the best peerage members, all in good spirits of course.
Then, Rias' marriage contract happened and they talked and tried to brainstorm ideas to get rid of the contract. She was tempted to tell her about the ancient spell multiple times. But, she knew that Rias was so desperate that she would take it without hesitation. And then, she would challenge Riser and she would lose. She tried to imagine multiple scenarios and come up with different plans in which Rias did win. But, she couldn't. No matter how much she tried to think about it. Rias was trapped.
One day at one of their rare slumber parties, they were once again thinking about what to do when suddenly Rias' queen Akeno Himejima put on some weird human science fiction movie. In this movie, there were a lot of deaths, but the most particular one was that in which the 'hero' killed the 'bad' guys without a trace. In this part of the movie, the hero simply poured the clear liquid on the enemy and that was it. The enemy was dead with no trace back to the hero.
Once she saw that part of the movie, she felt a shiver go up and down over her whole back. She felt herself look instinctively at where Rias was and saw how she just looked at the movie with a tilted head. She thought herself crazy because of it. But…
"Rias"
"Yes?"
"You do realize this is just a fictional situation, right?"
"Well, yeah. It's just a movie after all…"
"…"
"…"
They kept their staring at least for 30 more seconds.
"Just know, there are ways to do things. And, there are ways things shouldn't be done. That's all I'm going to say."
"Ok, Sona. Thank you."
Nodding her head, she turned it around and looked at the movie again and ignored the weird look her queen was giving her at that moment. Some time passed after that simple interaction between them. Their peerages kept growing and she saw how Rias was getting more and more desperate, until, it happened.
Riser Phenex was dead. One day he was alive, the next, dead. Just dead. That week she couldn't believe it. Her queen Tsubaki Shinra just kept looking at her while she kept her face stoic, more stoic than before. She knew.
She knew that Rias had found a way to go through with it. But, she couldn't nor wouldn't rat out her best friend/rival. They investigated everything they could but at the end of all. Riser Phenex was diagnosed as a 'normal' death.
She didn't know how to confront her.
Then it happened, the downfall of grace for Rias and her family. She started seeing her less and less up until the point that she was not seen at all. That worried her, her peerage and even Rias' peerage.
They tried to reach out to her, but they couldn't. It was like she didn't want to live any more. But, they left the worries of suicidal thoughts aside when she reassured them that she wouldn't fall so low to do that. She told them that she simply wanted nothing more to do with anything.
Time passed, and as suddenly as her 'disappearance' happened she started appearing again.
Rias was even smiling brighter than before. She was perplexed and so, she sought answers. She questioned her what was the reason behind her newfound happiness. The simple answer surprised her. An anime series. More specifically the Naruto anime series.
That dumbfounded her because her answer was illogical in her mind. Don't get her wrong, she was glad Rias was back to her old self somehow. But, was it something so simple the trigger needed for such a big change?
Of course, all the things that kept happening after her newfound happiness didn't bother Rias that much and that was worrisome to some little degree to her. They interacted some more over time. She knew things were changing fast in the underworld and even their matches of chess were kinda stale because of her always winning. But, the smile never left Rias' face.
She followed Rias 'advice' on watching the series. She liked some characters. Rias' favourite characters were Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuuga. Of course, she could see why they would appeal to her.
Naruto, even though he was a knucklehead and dense as a frigging concrete wall was an 'ideal' type of male for most females. And Hinata, yeah, she wasn't so bad. Not the most talkative, but very polite person. She could see why they appealed to her. But to nearly always talk about them all the time and have a massive crush on them.
Well, it's not like she was hurting anyone so she let her be. And in her personal preference, she found some or other characters kinda interesting. But, overall she couldn't see herself getting obsessed about any of the characters. In the end, it didn't matter to her as long as Rias was ok.
Then, it happened again. Rias started to act differently and this time she talked to Rias' peerage members trying to discern what happened. They were just as clueless as her. She was surprised to see Rias' bishop Gasper Vladi walking around with them one day so suddenly. He was deemed too dangerous until Rias was able to control his power, but there he was.
She gathered everyone available that worried about her and tried to talk to her. They couldn't recognize her, the sheer rage, pain, hate, everything coming off of her entire being. It was a good thing that all this was kept as close quarters as it did because that day she would never forget.
"Rias, please tell us what is going on"
"They have to pay Sona…"
"Rias, what do you mean?"
"They have to suffer Akeno…"
"Rias-Buchou please, this is nothing like you"
"Koneko-Chan, they are using them…"
The simple back and forth left them dumbfounded and not knowing what to say. Until.
"Rias"
"Mother…"
"You know how things have been, don't do anything stupid that could put you in exile"
"…"
"Even if your father is no longer like his old self, you should know you have a responsibility to this house and the underworld first and foremost."
"Don't I know it?"
Her sudden voice change and the appearance of slits over her then crimson eyes made everyone stay put where they were not knowing how to react at all.
She still remembers that day quite vividly, Rias' sins were in synchrony and starting to make her something else. Such was a surprise to everyone that they haven't even brought such an event up again. That day never happened, ever.
But, she was worried. Truly worried. If her suspicions were true, then Rias was bound to do something she would regret for the rest of her life.
So without anyone knowing she kept tabs on Rias every single day.
"She still doesn't know that I know what happened that day at Hyoudo-San's residence. As long as she doesn't harm anyone again. I will not meddle too much in her affairs."
Of course, when she saw what happened that day. She held herself back quite strongly with clenched fists and bitten lips so hard they bleed. Not because she cared about Issei Hyoudou at all, but because she still wanted to believe in Rias.
She saw how she froze up and their interactions and all. More specifically how her whole semblance changed. She was glad Rias was back to herself and she agreed wholeheartedly with her to let Hyoudou-san live a normal life. That's why she didn't stop Rias from sealing his sacred gear away nor his memories.
She stopped worrying about Rias once she noticed that she was back to her normal self. She even surprised her by apologizing for being so long away from her studies in the human world. In the end, she didn't mind.
Three knocks on the door to her council room office broke her concentration away from her reminiscence.
"Come in"

The sound of her muffled moaning and her flesh hitting back against the other person's flesh re-sounded throughout the room. Opening her lust-clouded eyes, she looks at him while he keeps pounding against her, and her lithe hips never stop.
A single traitorous drop of sweat rolls down the face of her lover. She forgot how many days they have been in this dance of carnal passion and pleasure. She didn't know if it was morning, afternoon, or night outside. If it had been two, or three days.
She didn't remember nor did she care about it. Hollowing her lips, a little against his, she sucked his tongue. Finally, she had it inside her hot moist cavern. Thus, a 'battle' of dominance ensued when his clouded with lust deep blue eyes locked with her jade ones.
The sound of their tongue sucking and her moaning filled the room. Her luscious leg was softly nestled on the top of his shoulder while he kept his thrustings rhythmical.
Then, the sound of their mating increased, and she lost the battle when she felt her back touch the top of the bed again. Her legs were on each side of her head, and he started pounding his penis inside her cunt in reckless abandon. Oh, how she loved this position. She loved how her husband reached the deepest part of her womb. She could see the bump his girth made while he kept pushing it, making her tight abdomen have a very well-defined stomach bulge.
In this position he dominated her. He was in control. He was mating her and she loved every single second of it. This was the 20th, or 30th? time in which he dominated her like this. She didn't care. Letting her lover know he was doing it right, she moaned whorishly for him. She knew that he loved it when she did that.
And oh it did, so deliciously for her. His pacing increased, even though only half of his girth was inside her. She saw how the other half kept making the bulge in her stomach increase with every inch that entered her. Until finally with his last thrust he was fully inside her again.
Her eyesight crossed and rolled to the back of her head. Her tongue lolled out of her open mouth while her most powerful orgasm yet reached her.
"Bwaalgh!"
She kept squirting her love juices all over his well-V-defined hips, and all over his well-chiseled abdomen. Her mind was blank. It was pure bliss. He didn't stop, oh no.
He knew that she loved this more than anything else. He resumed his movement and she couldn't control her lower body as it made wet squelching sounds because of his onslaught. Finally, with another final thrust, he emptied himself inside her again for the nth time.
His warm and gooey cum invaded her womb and filled it to the brim again. After what felt like the most delicious minutes, but in reality, were only some 30-40 seconds, he slowly pulled out of her. The copious amount of liquid leaving her gaping hole and her whimper made him look up at her face again.
He saw how she was licking her lips wantonly for him.
"Oh, you cheeky!"
Turning her around, he heard her squeal but not protest. He grabbed her hips and lifted them making her be in a perfect lifted ass chest down position.
"You little slut!"
His hands clapped hard against her tight butt cheeks and kneaded them forcefully. She muffled her moans of pleasure with her pillow, knowing what was coming next.
He stood up behind her, and she looked at him from the left side of her face. She wiggled her butt a little and whimpered for him. He took the invitation without thinking about it. He positioned himself.
But no. This time he didn't go for the gaping, leaking hole from before. He spread her butt cheeks and saw her pink and soft anus open and close enticingly for him.
He didn't hesitate, and she loved it. In one swift motion, he was inside her. Her whorish moans escaped her without restraints while his penis reached the bottom-deep insides of her anal passage.
Her stomach felt so full.
She loved it. This was it, she loved this the most.
Her husband was a sweetheart, very polite, and cared for them greatly. But when nighttime came. They had to satisfy him because he was insatiable. Her whorish moans still escaping her, she allowed her tired head to face the other side, some of her gold locks falling on her side. (1)(2)
There, she saw them. Their wife was looking at her and her husband mate like unsatiable animals without restraints. She saw how she had the chin-length blue hair, and brown eyes young woman seated on top of her luscious legs. The young woman was moaning whorishly too while her legs were spread wide open for everyone to see.
The two women were looking directly in front of them where they could see the mating couple in all their full carnal glory. Their luscious lips were wide open, letting hot breath be visible because of their ragged breathing.
Asia saw how her wife kept sawing three fingers in and out of Xenovia's sticky, full of cum vagina. Her left hand pinched and pulled Xenovia's left nipple so deliciously hard. Xenovia's increasingly ragged breathing was an indicator of her oh-so-close ending.
Then, her jade eyes locked with the pale lavender ones of her wife, and she couldn't stop it. She licked her lips invitingly and moaned whorishly through her pink lips again when a thrust more demanding than the last one made her whole lower body spasm and cum again, soaking the already stained bedsheets again.
Seeing where her gaze was locked, the short-cut blond-haired man allowed a slight smirk of satisfaction to appear on his face. Without hesitation, he grabbed both legs of the petite blonde with his arms and lifted her in a perfect full-nelson position in their direction. He started approaching them, never stopping his manhood from thrusting against her ass.
Such a delicious display made the hime-cut black-haired woman move her right-hand fingers faster, making the blue-haired brown eyes woman spasm in her arms. The younger woman's eyes rolled to the back of her head while her back arched. Her orgasm was so powerful, but the wet squelching of her vagina never stopped.
Finally, they were in front of them. His lust-love-filled blue eyes locked with her equally lust-love-filled pale lavender eyes. Neither said a word, the only sound filling the room being that of their female partner's wet spasming crotches.
Turning Xenovia's tilted head with her left hand. Hinata grabbed Xenovia's lolled-out tongue and brought more of it out of her mouth. She made it move with her now saliva-covered dainty fingers. Without the need for a single word, Naruto brought his and Asia's crotch closer to their faces.
"Ah! No! Don't suck it out! Aah!"
Their sucking was ravenous. It was so loud, and she wasn't able to do a thing but stare at how they sucked her pink, abused and full of cum pussy clean. She felt helpless because of her position.
"Aaah…"
She could no more, the corner of her vision was starting to get dark.
"Naruto-Kun! Hinata-Chan!"
Without saying a word, the mentioned ones did their part. She sucked and inhaled over her cute golden pubic hair. He thrust one last time, sheathing his penis up to the base and making the loudest slapping sound yet to be heard.
Their ragged breathing filled the room, but they never stopped eye contact with each other.
"Aah…!"
As one, they turned their heads. There, they saw her. She was sitting on the couch and abusing her cunt and nipples with her fingers.
As one, they smirked and left their unconscious partners safely tucked one on top of the other.
"Naughty, naughty Irina-Chan" He tilted his head to the right side.
"Did you enjoy the show that much?" She tilted her head to the left side.
"Please… Pleaaaase…"
Without saying a word, each of them grabbed one of her arms and lifted her. (2)

"You know… when you told me that I'd be living up to a better condition than my last one. I didn't think this was what would happen…"
"…"
"Yeah, yeah. I know that things are way better than before."
"…"
"But seriously, don't you think you are taking things way too far in this one?"
"…"
"I see, well it does explain some things."
"…"
"Yeah, yeah. I finished resting up."
"…"
"Geez, I'm not even getting paid up for this you know."
"…"
"Ok, boss. You are the one that calls the shots after all."
"…"
"Welp, time to work. After all Good Fortune just doesn't come that easily, does it?"
"…"
"Yeah, yeah. I'll bring those girls that are trapped from the other dimension too. Especially the black-haired with red tips one, right?"
"…"
"Got ya, boss! Later!"
He disappeared without a trace in the wind.
The crimson-cloaked being kept looking at the sunset, its soft sun rays showing dark-brown eyes, dark-brown skin, and dark short-cut hair.
He looked at the building and then just ceased to be.
AND DONE! This one is shorter, but I hope the quality makes up for it. It is shorter because I kept being attacked on the internet. Hacking, someone was trying to hack my emails and other online things I have. I erased a lot of videos and ideas I had on my computer because I knew the data was lost. I only saved what I considered important to me. Erased everything from my computer. Good thing I saved the chapter on MEGA and Drive. Thank you both!
Anyways, this next week, I'll try to write the next chapter. But, I want to mostly centre on a new youtube video. You know, I haven't uploaded a video in a long time. But thanks to the stupid hacking thing. Now I have to re-install everything. Haa…. If only I had money or something to give me free time.
Don't forget to pay me a visit on my Youtube channel RickVT (R) or Rick-154.
Anyways. Peace and RickVT out.
