Here we are at Chapter 44. Time for the aftermath of the battle in the Dragon Alliance, among other things. I do not own Code Vein or Skeleton Knight. They belong to their respective owners. I only own my OCs. Here's chapter 44.


Chapter 44: Mate

The battle for the Dragon Alliance had been brutal, but otherwise, ended in a victory or the good guy. However, that victory was not without costs. Buildings destroyed, people dead or injured, and traitors from Homura's group captured, interrogated, and executed. This had shaken the country to its core. Their country, which had successfully defended itself from attacks many times in the past, had failed this time. Even if they won in the end, they still can't look past the fact that an enemy infiltrated their home and did such extensive damage. A few days after the battle and when much of the repair efforts had already been completed, Fuyumi and her friends had been called back to the palace. There, they meet with the emperor and his family out in the courtyard. The throne room is still in need of major remodeling after Kagutsuchi had his battle with Homura.

"How are your wounds healing, Your Majesty?" Fuyumi asks the emperor after their usual greetings and pleasantries.

"The wounds to my body are healed. However, the wounds within... remain festering," Kagutsuchi replies. Before, he seemed so imposing. Indomitable. But now, he just looks tired. Truly showing his age, for a dragon at least. "Long ago I met a human who came to my lair. I thought he was another mercenary seeking glory, but instead, he merely asked me 'you want a drink? Drinking with others is a fun experience. It's much better than sitting in here, alone in the dark, don't you think?' He was an amusing man, and then he became a good friend. He taught me everything I needed to know about ruling a kingdom. All of this... was made from him. My old, dear friend" Kagutsuchi reminisces.

"Then that must be how this place looks like medieval Japan back home. Perhaps that human came to this world from Earth like me," Fuyumi thinks.

I wanted to keep my country out of other conflicts in order to keep this place, our home, his memory, alive and well. But, I was naïve. Despite how long I've lived, I still have much to learn. I thought that if left the other nations alone for the most part, and focused on defense, then we would always have peace. But, it seems there are those who do not wish for peace, even among my own people. Kagero located and dispatched the traitors who conspired with Homura. The worst damage was seen here in the capital, for better or worse," the emperor says.

"Well, hopefully your people will bounce back from this, Your Majesty. They're strong," Iris notes.

"They are... but I wasn't. Homura was my eldest son, and originally first in line for the throne. He was strong, but very ambitious, and proud. He wanted more than just our part of the continent. He was becoming too dangerous, so I exiled him. I should have imprisoned him at the very least, but I didn't have the heart to do so. Once again, I was so naïve. And a failure as a father," he turns to Hikaru. "My daughter, I have failed you. Worse, I forced a terrible responsibility onto your shoulders that should've been mine. Perhaps I was holding you too closely... to see how much you have grown," he cups her chin in his hand.

"Father..." Hikaru mutters, slightly stunned.

"Fuyumi Kusanagi, please inform your king that I accept his proposal for an alliance. The time for standing idle has passed. However, before we can join together, we must first finish up things here. Will you inform him of this?" the emperor asks.

Fuyumi smiles and bows her head, "Gladly. Thank you, Your Majesty. You won't regret this,"

"Hikaru, may I ask you to go with them when they return to Anatolia as our official emissary?" Kagutsuchi asks.

Hikaru smiles, "It would be my honor, Father,"

"One more thing, Ser Fuyumi. I know you should return home, but you have just been through a grueling battle, and helped to save my home. I would be remiss if I did not reward you properly. We will be having a banquet tonight to celebrate our victory and the start of a new chapter in our country's history. I would very much like for you and your friends to attend. Will you do me the honor of accepting my hospitality?" Kagutsuchi asks.

"What do you all think?" Fuyumi looks to her companions.

"I wouldn't mind. Besides, with your abilities, we can arrive back home in no time at all. Let's take this chance to rest," Iris says.

"She's right. After the night we've had, I could use a little break," Elane agrees.

"Then we accept your offer, Your Majesty," Fuyumi says.

"Excellent. Then we shall meet again later this evening. Hikaru, come with me. There is something else I wish to discuss with you regarding your duty as emissary," and with that, the emperor leaves with his family and guards, but not before Hikaru smiles back at Fuyumi as she leaves.

Later that evening, while reconstruction efforts continue in the city, Fuyumi and her friends prepare to go to the banquet. However, the emperor had a few seamstresses come to give her attire more suitable for the occasion, as another form of thanks. After they use Fuyumi as their personal dress up doll, much to her terror, they finally grant her freedom and a new outfit. The outfit is based on the alliance's clothing, but primarily in white like Fuyumi's clothes. It is similar to a hakama, but with a more feminine touch. It has a white, sleeveless shirt over a dark under shirt, detached white sleeves with black armor and gold edging. Around her waist is a gold sash belt with two black ties over black armor on her sides. She has a long, silver skirt with two openings on the front for her legs, which have thigh-high armored boots, over a pair of white stockings, matching the armor on the rest of her body. Her ponytail has an oriental tie knot to keep it up. Finally, Fuyumi added a blood veil, Snowy Grace, to finish the look (think Kasumi's outfit from Bofuri with a few slight changes).

"That outfit looks perfect on you, Fuyumi," Iris notes, stars in her eyes.

"Indeed. It truly becomes you," Elane adds, while Umi caws in approval.

"Her Highness, Princess Hikaru, recommended this design to the emperor. She was not wrong," one of the seamstresses' notes, the rest gazing like fangirls at Fuyumi.

Fuyumi scratches her cheek, "W-Well, we'd best not keep the imperial family waiting. Let's go,"

With that, they head to banquet. It was mostly a small affair, with not that many officials showing up due to repair efforts still going on and that this was more unofficial than their first audience with the emperor. Throughout the feast, Fuyumi would catch Hikaru giving her subtle glances and smiles. It takes Fuyumi's full strength to not get lost in Hikaru's teasing ways. The dinner goes swimmingly, but Fuyumi notices Hikaru leaving earlier than the others. She glances behind her shoulder at Fuyumi with a sultry smirk before exiting through a doorway in one part of the palace that was left untouched. Fuyumi glances around at the others. The emperor and empress are busy talking with their vassals about the usual politics, but Elane and Iris catch her glance and nod in Hikaru's direction. With their apparent approval, Fuyumi quietly excuses herself from the table and follows Hikaru's path. Walking down the darkened hallway, Fuyumi looks around for Hikaru. As she comes around a corner, she spots a door slightly ajar ahead of her. She decides to go inside and check it out. Inside, she finds Hikaru sitting on a large futon, in nothing but a red silk robe.

"You sure took your sweet time. It's not nice to keep a lady waiting," Hikaru purrs.

"Shouldn't a proper lady learn patience. It makes them seem much more elegant and graceful," Fuyumi counters while trying to control her blush.

Hikaru licks her lips as she stands up, "Oh, I don't think we'll need to worry about elegance tonight, my dear," she walks over to Fuyumi and cups her cheek. "Last chance to back down,"

Fuyumi wraps her arms around Hikaru's waist, "Not a chance," she smirks.

Fuyumi takes Hikaru's lips with her own in a sensual kiss. Hikaru's holds her face as she moans into the kiss while Fuyumi holds her tight, their chests pressing against each other. Hikaru's tail wraps around their legs. They barely separate for air before their tongues wrap around each other, twirling around between their lips. Not one to keep things waiting for too long, Hikaru's hands reach down and begin undoing Fuyumi's clothing. Fuyumi allows her to handle it, helping with her own hands. First, her sleeves and armor go, followed by her sash belt, then her ponytail comes undone. They walk towards the futon, never stopping their kissing. When they finally reach it, Hikaru guides Fuyumi down onto the bed and begins to take her skirt and boots off, followed by her top and under shirt. This leaves her in her stockings and white underwear. Hikaru licks her lips at the marvelous sight before her.

"Beautiful," Hikaru mutters as she hovers over Fuyumi.

"It's rude to keep a lady waiting," Fuyumi throws her words back at her.

Hikaru chuckles before standing up. She loosens the belt around her robe and lets it fall off her body, revealing her naked glory to Fuyumi. Fuyumi's eyes widen in awe at the form before her. She was right; Hikaru's breasts are bigger than any of her other lovers.

"Like what you see? Don't worry, you'll have all of this and more. But first..." Hikaru crawls on top of Fuyumi and kisses her again.

Fuyumi embraces her lips as her arms wrap around Hikaru's beautiful body. With less clothes on, she can feel her huge boobs mash against her own. Hikaru's tail slides along her legs, sending tingles up her skin. Hikaru leaves her lips and moves down to suck on her neck, eliciting moans from Fuyumi. Hikaru crawls around while dragging Fuyumi with her until their heads reach the pillows. She leaves a few hickies on Fuyumi's skin before rising up to hang her large chest over Fuyumi's face.

"Does this feel good?" Hikaru teases as she slides her boobs across Fuyumi's face. "Enjoy them to your heart's content,"

Fuyumi takes a few moments to simply enjoy the feeling of Hikaru's big boobs across her face, smothering herself between them. She starts trailing kisses along the mounds of flesh until she finally reaches the left nipple. She doesn't waste time and starts suckling it, making Hikaru moan and arch her back. While Fuyumi works on the left side, her hand reaches up to take care of the right. Hikaru closes her eyes to focus on the feeling of Fuyumi practically milking her.

"I see... you have experience... in that sort of thing," Hikaru moans as Fuyumi switches nipples. "Oh, don't stop,"

Fuyumi feels pretty proud of herself. Guess it helps that she has multiple partners and has spent more than one occasion in bed with them and no clothes on. She takes it up a notch and starts sucking on both nipples together, eliciting louder moans from Hikaru. If she sucked any harder, she really would be milking her like a newborn baby right now. Her hands squeeze her breasts, enjoying how they hold around her fingers almost like soft pillows. After a few more moments of enjoying Hikaru's chest, she frees her breasts.

"Oh, now it's my turn," Hikaru picks Fuyumi up into a sitting position before pulling down her bra to free her ow boobs. "I'm going to enjoy this."

She gives Fuyumi the same treatment she gave her, and Fuyumi enjoys every second of it. She wraps her arms around Hikaru's head to pull her deeper into her chest, moaning as Hikaru wraps her lips and fingers around her nipples. Hikaru reaches around to unhook her bra and tosses it aside before her hands go back to Fuyumi's chest.

"Hikaru... that feels so good," Fuyumi hangs her head back at closes her eyes.

Hikaru glances up and smirks at Fuyumi's reaction. She always did pride herself on being a good partner in bed. Her little jaunts into the entertainment district at night helped her perfect her craft. She flicks the nipples with her tongue, getting a few twitches out of Fuyumi. Meanwhile, her tail slides down between their bodies and rubs against the outside of Fuyumi's panties, slowly making her hotter.

"Hikaru... don't be such a tease," Fuyumi moans.

Hikaru releases her boobs, "Oh, but that's half the fun, my sweet Fuyumi," she coos, licking along Fuyumi's chest.

Fuyumi's hand falls onto Hikaru's horns, but when they touch the base of them on her forehead, Hikaru suddenly jolts up.

"Huh?" Fuyumi cocks an eyebrow. She quickly rubs the same spot before Hikaru can stop her, getting a similar reaction. Seeing what's going on, Fuyumi smirks. "My, my, a bit sensitive there, aren't we," shs starts rubbing circles around the base of the horns.

Hikaru starts moaning and jolting from the touch. It stirs Fuyumi up seeing the strong, proud dragon princess falling to her touch. Hikaru ends up falling onto the bed with Fuyumi looming over here. She keeps it up while her other hand gropes Hikaru's breasts a few times before sliding down between her legs. Just the lightest touch and she can feel how wet Hikaru is.

"F-Fuyumi, not the horns... I'm too sensitive there," Hikaru begs.

"Oh don't worry, I'll let them go... after I've had my fun. Don't worry, I'm sure you'll enjoy it too," Fuyumi licks her lips.

Her hand rubs against Hikaru's entrance, preparing her for entry. Hikaru seems powerless as Fuyumi plays with her horns. She even leans down to lick around them, making Hikaru twitch and her face flush crimson. Once she feels she's ready, Fuyumi plunges two fingers into Hikaru's waiting entrance. Hikaru arches her back from the penetration, her tail curling around her left leg. Fuyumi pulls out and then plunges right back in before repeating the process. Hikaru moans with fervor as Fuyumi's hands turn her into putty. Her hips buck in tune with Fuyumi's fingers, wanting her as deep inside as possible. Fuyumi moves her thumb on top of Hikaru's bud, rubbing and playing with it. Hikaru hangs her head back as the pleasure gets worse, or better depending on one's perspective.

"Come on, I know you can handle more than this," Fuyumi says, inserting a third finger and picking up speed.

"Oh my god. Oh my god... So good. Don't you dare stop," Hikaru moans.

Fuyumi leans down to take Hikaru's lips with her own, her hands never stopping what they're doing. Hikaru is at her mercy, ever since Fuyumi found her weak spot. Her whole body is close to shaking as she gets closer to her limit.

"Fuyumi, I'm almost..." Hikaru moans.

"Do it, Hikaru. Let me see you climax. Let me hear you shout as you hit your peek," Fuyumi says, nearly jackhammering her fingers inside her.

"I'm gonna... I'm gonna... I'm about to uh, uh, ah, AAAAHHHHH!" Hikaru nearly screams as she climaxes.

She clenches around Fuyumi's fingers, her juices flowing onto the digits. Her back arches high as she goes through her sexual high. A moment later, she calms down and flops onto the bed, catching her breath. Fuyumi pulls her fingers out, licking them to enjoy the taste of Hikaru.

"I take it you enjoyed that," Fuyumi teases her.

Hikaru doesn't reply as she catches her breath. However, as soon as Fuyumi releases her horns, Hikaru jumps on her, pinning her down on the futon.

"I admit, that was fun, but I prefer to be the one on top, Fuyumi," Hikaru says, a hungry look in her eyes.

"Um, maybe we can talk about this," Fuyumi gets a little nervous now.

"Perhaps, but... I have a much better idea in mind," Hikaru says as the tip of her tail gently rubs outside Fuyumi's lower lips from between Hikaru's legs.

"Wait, I'm now sure that will fit," Fuyumi says.

Hikaru smirks, "Oh, it will fit... after a few rounds,"

With that, Hikaru starts pushing her tail into Fuyumi's folds, making Fuyumi gasp and her back arch. Hikaru pushes a little more in before pulling back out to the tip, and then pushing a little more back inside. Her hands keep Fuyumi's arms pinned, and her knees are under Fuyumi's, keeping her legs bent but spread. This allows her plenty of space to get deeper inside. She starts bucking her hips with her tail, almost like a man.

"Oh god... It's so big. It's going... deeper," Fuyumi moans.

Hikaru chuckles as she pounds Fuyumi with her tail. She stretches her out, wanting to go all the way to her deepest areas. The nipples on her huge breasts rub against Fuyumi's, adding to the pleasure.

"Oh, you feel so good, Fuyumi," Hikaru notes as she leans down to kiss Fuyumi.

Fuyumi's moans are muffled by the kiss as she gives herself over to Hikaru. Her legs move and wrap around Hikaru's waist, her fingers interlace with Hikaru's. Their breasts push against one another. And Hikaru's lovely tail going deep inside her. That alone brings all the fun, with none of the consequences if it were a man's normal rod. Soon enough, Hikaru goes deep enough to hit her entrance inside. This gives Fuyumi new sparks of pleasure she never felt before. She can feel herself building, and she can feel Hikaru picking up the pace. Her inner walls clench around her tail, trying desperately to milk it but never will.

"Hikaru, I'm getting close," Fuyumi moans between kisses.

"Yes, I can feel you around my tail. Do it. Fall apart, Fuyumi. Spray it all on my tail," Hikaru demands as she bucks hard.

Her tail hits Fuyumi's inner entrance again and again, pushing Fuyumi to her limit. Hikaru kisses her again just as she climaxes, screaming into her kiss. Her legs clench tightly around Hikaru as her essence flows around her tail. Hikaru slows her tail down, helping Fuyumi calm down, before finally pulling it out. Her tail is covered in Fuyumi's essence.

"Now, I'm sure you enjoyed that," Hikaru hovers her tail over Fuyumi's gasping face.

"That was... incredible," Fuyumi gasps.

"Well, I do have some experience, darling. But, we're nowhere near done," Hikaru flips Fuyumi onto her stomach and spreads her legs out flat. "I think you've prepared me enough now. Time for the next act," she lines up the slick tip of her tail with Fuyumi's back side.

"I definitely don't think that will fit," Fuyumi says, a little scared now.

Hikaru lays her body on top of Fuyumi, pinning her beneath the dragon, "Like I said before, it will fit... after a few rounds,"

Her fingers intertwine with Fuyumi's as she nibbles on her earlobe. She moves her tail to Fuyumi's butt hole and slowly pushes inside. Fuyumi moans, her eyes wide. She's never had anything in that hole. Hikaru pushes further inside, only pulling out to go back inside again. Fuyumi gasps, moans, and nearly gags as Hikaru forces her way inside her bowels. As Hikaru bucks her hips against Fuyumi's butt cheeks, Fuyumi ends up rolling her hips to respond in kind. There's a little pain, but the pleasure is far superior. Fuyumi has never been in this position before. With all her other partners, she's usually in control. She's given Iris the lead before, but that was different. Here, Hikaru was dominating her. It was strange, but exhilarating at the same time. To let someone else take the reins. Well, with how good Hikaru has proven herself in bed, Fuyumi doesn't mind. Her moans get louder as Hikaru pushes further inside her, pounding her harder and harder.

"You like it, don't you. You like being dominated like this, huh," Hikaru purrs into her ear.

"I suppose... this has its perks. Oh, don't stop, damn it," Fuyumi moans.

"That's it. Climax again. You don't get to rest until I say otherwise," Hikaru says.

Fuyumi can feel herself getting close again. To think that Hikaru would make her feel this good. After a few more good thrusts from Hikaru, Fuyumi moans loudly as she climaxes again. Her juices leak out of her core, dripping onto the sheets. After she collapses, Hikaru pulls out of her back hole, getting another gasp out of her. But, Fuyumi has little time for rest. Hikaru picks her up into a sitting position, facing her on her lap. Her tail is once more lined up with Fuyumi's lower lips. Hikaru kisses her as she plunges her tail back inside Fuyumi. Thanks to how slick she is, the tail slides right in easily enough. Fuyumi moans into the kiss, wrapping her limbs around Hikaru. She bucks her hips, wanting Hikaru to go deeper. Hikaru obliges, pushing her tail as deep as she can go and starts pounding Fuyumi again. Even as they kiss, they never close their eyes. They want to stare into each other's eyes as they connect like this. Hikaru pulls Fuyumi tightly against her, their boobs mushed in between them. All the previous rounds have made Fuyumi very sensitive and it's not long before she gets close to her limit again.

"Hikaru, I'm getting close," Fuyumi moans between their lips.

"Fuyumi, become my mate. Please, become my mate," Hikaru asks as she bucks harder.

"Yes, I'll be your mate. As long as you become my wife," Fuyumi replies.

"Yes, I'll become your wife. My beautiful mate," Hikaru agrees, kissing her again.

They both go full speed with their hips. Fuyumi's limbs clamp hard around Hikaru's body. A few more good thrusts and Fuyumi screams into the kiss again in her climax. Once she calms down from her orgasmic high, Fuyumi sags in Hikaru's embrace, devoid of strength. Hikaru giggles before pulling her tail out, seeing it covered in her new mate's juices. She pulls it up to lick the essence off, enjoying Fuyumi's taste. She sees Fuyumi gasping for air, barely conscious.

"I think that's enough for one night, my mate," Hikaru kisses her forehead before laying down on the futon with Fuyumi laying on top of her. She pulls the covers over them. "I love you, Fuyumi."

"I love you too, Hikaru," Fuyumi mutters before she falls asleep, exhausted.

Hikaru smiles affectionately before going to sleep as well, keeping her mate in her warm embrace.


And that's the chapter. Now that the alliance is secure between Anatolia and the Dragon Alliance, Fuyumi and her friends have new allies against their enemy in the shadows, and Fuyumi now has another lady added to her harem. What will she do now with a dragon princess as a new bride? Until then, please Read and Review.
