Dance in Time

Chapter 20

Walking through the Saotome castle, Chloe, with a towel over her shoulders and walking in nothing but her green panties, yawned as she walked into the bath room. "Glad there's no school today, I can just relax." She muttered to herself. "Good morning Miss Asmodeus, master, how..." She blinked a few times and blushed as she saw both Asmodeus and Ranma, naked, and soaking in the bath. "Ah! I must have walked into the wrong room."

"It's okay." Ranma waved her off. "If you want to join us, you can, if you want to leave, you can. I won't stop you."

Chloe was about to leave when she looked at Asmodeus sulking. "...It's been almost a week since you were depressed, what's wrong?"

Asmodeus sighed again as she looked at the water. "I can't return to my full size form. Apparently becoming a Unison Device screwed up my magic and even if I turn full size, because of my power being only a tiny fragment of what my real self was, it will only last a few moments and then I'm back in my tiny form."

Seeing Chloe looking confused, Ranma thought he would clarify. "She uses up almost all her magic to get back to her full size form and she can't retain that form long enough for me to use a tantric ritual on her."

Chloe blushed, knowing what the tantric ritual needed. "Oh, I didn't realize that she would need to kiss someone for so long to get that much magic."

"Wait, what?" Both Ranma and Asmodeus looked at her seriously.

"...Kissing?" Asmodeus asked, confusion on her face, "but boyo told me that the ritual involves sex."

"O-OH!" Chloe's face turned even redder. "Th-that version of the ritual is the full power one, it can restore someone's power and strengthens them."

"Yeah, it's how Mittelt has ten wings now." Ranma mused. "There's no way we have enough time for that."

"But..." Chloe poked her index fingers together. "If you were to kiss her when she was back in her full size form... It would just restore her reserves. I can show you how." Both of them looked at her in confusion. "How do you think I kept myself alive back in my old world? I needed constant mana and I was called a kissing devil because of it."

Ranma blinked a few times and looked at Asmodeus. "It's up to you. I don't know how this works." He then looked at Chloe. "Are you okay with kissing a girl?"

"I kissed my sister all the time." Chloe told him. "Before you ask, I'm attracted to boys, but I'll kiss anyone."

Ranma sweat-dropped heavily. "So this is how adults felt whenever I mentioned my relationship with Lilith when I was younger." Chloe looked confused before a splash caught her attention and Asmodeus was kneeling in front of her. "Uh..."

"I want to be the same height as you when I transform." She said to Chloe. "You have two seconds to kiss me before my mana runs out and I return to this form, got it?" Chloe nodded and Asmodeus closed her eyes as her body glowed.

A moment later, a much larger, bustier and curvier Asmodeus appeared in front of Chloe. The former Devil King looked like a darker-skinned version of Lilith, her hair was free flowing and long, well, her hips were slightly wider and her breasts slightly bigger and...

The next thing Chloe knew, Asmodeus was grabbing her and pulling her in so that the two could kiss.

Ranma watched with keen interest as Chloe shoved her tongue into Asmodeus's mouth. He wasn't even focused on what the two were doing, but rather the transfer of magical energy from Chloe to Asmodeus and he found it fascinating.

At least until he caught Asmodeus starting to grab and fondle Chloe. He shook his head and reached out, grabbing Asmodeus and pulling her off of Chloe. "Okay, that's enough. No lewding the loli."

For some reason, Ranma felt he heard a crash somewhere, as though reality itself was face-faulting upon hearing him saying that.

Both Asmodeus and Chloe were panting hard with Chloe looking drained and Asmodeus looking refreshed.

"That was..." Asmodeus grinned as she felt herself. "Hey! Like this, I can last maybe... The rest of the day if I don't do anything crazy."

"We can put those runes on your body." Ranma told her and she nodded before grinning and standing up and leaning in towards Ranma. "...Chloe, if you don't want to watch the two of us have sex, I suggest you go to the other room."

"Chloe, dear," Asmodeus smiled with a small blush on her face, "thank you. Run along, cutie, because if you're in here, you'll be joining in with us and you aren't ready for that yet."

"R-right!" Chloe nodded and ran out of the bathroom, slipping and falling on her stomach before crawling out of the room and closing the door behind her.

"That wasn't nice." Ranma told Asmodeus, who was purring as she ran a finger down his chest and under the water.

"Devil King of Lust." She reminded him as she grinned. "Time for you to do to me what you do to my daughter every night."

Ranma nodded and got out of the bath.

The bath still needed to be cleaned when he was done with her.

Meanwhile...

Sitting in the women's bath, Yohko grimaced and rubbed her belly. "Only a few more days, huh?" She looked at the others who were in the large bath with her. "Hey, Lilith, how did you deal with this?"

"You mean, being an over-weight landwhale during the last few weeks of my pregnancy?" Lilith asked with a grin. "Well, it helps that I had the world's best midwife help me give birth." She looked at Miko. "Never thought I'd be thankful that Shikima tentacles are so versatile."

"It wasn't that big of a deal." Miko said as she rubbed the back of her head. "I didn't even know that I could do that until daddy showed me how."

"Actually," Cologne, who was in the water up to her breasts, looked at Miko curiously while Jackie bobbed up and down in the water next to her, "what I saw with both Lilith and Nabiki was quite amazing. I gave birth to six children when I was younger and helped deliver many children for my tribe and no matter what we did, it sometimes took more than a day for the children to be born and neither Lilith nor Nabiki were in labor for more than a couple of hours."

"It just looks weird." Jackie said as she popped her head out of the water. "Then again, you're all a bunch of weirdos to me."

Lilith stuck her tongue out and then looked at Yohko. "Besides, you're no bigger than I was. You're not bigger than Kuroka, so you're fine."

"I know, I'm just..." Yohko sighed softly and rubbed her belly. "Stop kicking."

Both Cologne and Lilith giggled upon hearing that.

The door opened and Kuroka walked in wearing nothing but a towel. "Hmm? Did someone tell a funny joke?"

Cologne smiled at her and pointd at Yohko. "She told her child to stop kicking."

"Urgh, tell me about it." Kuroka grumbled as she rubbed her swelling belly. "Tenma and Daidama were practically a tornado in there when they were growing. There's a reason I put off having more for awhile. I liked not having my bladder kicked every five seconds."

Yohko, Lilith and Cologne all nodded in understanding.

"Having children is the most wonderful thing in the world," the young-looking former Amazon said with a nod, "but it's hell on you during the second half."

"I was wondering something," Yohko looked at Miko, "how did you learn how to use your tentacles to go into a woman as she's in labor, wrap up the baby and pull them out without hurting them?"

Miko felt her eyes screw shut as she remembered it. "Well... I know that none of you know, since we kept it a big secret, but I did need to practice on someone before I tried it with any of you. And when my tentacles are in someone, I can directly connect with their nervous system, so I can make it so they don't feel direct pain."

"I was so sore after the fact though." Lilith groaned as she remembered how much she was hurting after giving birth. She figured it was like when someone had anesthesia used on them for surguries. You didn't feel the pain you were going through, but your body certainly let you know how bad it was after the fact.

"So, who did you practice on?" Kuroka asked as she eased herself into the water next to Yohko.

Miko was about to say something and sighed before hanging her head and just being honest. "...My mom."

"Eh?" Everyone asked, looking at her weirdly.

"Why do you think I was gone for awhile?" Miko asked them as she raised her head to look at them with a weary expression on her face. "I have a younger brother now and I helped pull him out of mom."

"Uh..." Lilith scratched the side of her cheek. "...Your brother... He's about... Two and a half years old?"

Miko gave her an annoyed look. "Yes."

"...Please tell me that he's not your half-brother." Lilith asked, smiling nervously. "Because then I'm worried that..."

"I don't know." Miko told her. "And, quite frankly, I don't care." Her annoyed expression melted into a relaxed one. "Whether he's daddy's son or Ranma's son doesn't matter to me. He's my brother and I care about him. That's all."

"That's good." Lilith muttered. "But how? Master has complete fertility control, there's no way, even with an out-of-control balance break..."

"If her baby brother is Master Ranma's son..." Cologne said with a sage-like expression on her face, "then it is likely that when he was not completely in control of himself during that time that he decided to impregnant the oldest woman that he was sleeping with. After all," she gave Lilith a serious look, "are not a good chunk of his wives older than him? Bulleta is older, even if she has been stuck as a child for so long, then there's Mittelt, Yasaka, Gabriel and Serafall."

Cologne didn't need to explain that those four were all significantly older than Ranma was.

"It's very likely that Ranma has a preference for older women." Yohko summarized.

"Um," Jackie raised her hand, "if he only liked older women, he wouldn't like me as much."

"Master doesn't have a preference for a woman's body type." Lilith told them. "Rather..." Lilith was about to say something more when she twitched. "...And Master is currently having fun without me."

"Having a psychic link must be a pain." Miko muttered as the door opened up and a tired looking Chloe shuffled herself in. "Uh..."

Chloe looked at the group and nodded. "Oh good, I found the right bath this time. I ran into Fubuki and Leonardo in the men's bath after leaving master and miss Asmodeus in the mixed bath."

"Did mom make you uncomfortable?" Lilith asked and paused. "Wait a second... Master... Is he banging my mom?!"

Miko suddenly laughed. "Now you know how I felt when I found out he slept with my mom!"

"But that should be impossible." Lilith protested as she stood up in the bath, water rolling off of her naked body. "Mom could only return to her full-sized form for a few moments and that's not enough time to perform a true tantric ritual to let her stay in that form."

"Uh..." Chloe gave Lilith a tired smile. "I helped her." Everyone looked at her suddenly. "There's another version of that ritual. All you have to do is kiss someone and you can transfer mana. It doesn't make you stronger, it just refills your reserves."

Lilith gave her a serious look and got out of the bath. "Show me." Seeing Chloe's confused look, she shook her head. "I assume that you gave my mother a lot of mana, so she can stay in her full-sized form and I assume that you can drain mana from someone with that ability, so, go ahead, use it on me and drain my mana to refill so I know what it's like."

"If you say so." Chloe said as she leaned in and kissed Lilith while the others watched.

As Chloe slipped her tongue into Lilith's mouth and desperately kissed at the Succubus, Miko had to turn away as she was getting visibly turned on. 'If there's one thing I hate about my Shikima blood being fully activated is that Jedah gave me this dick.' She groaned in annoyance as she was getting more and more aroused at their sounds before she got out of the bath and grabbed a towel, leaving the bathroom while Chloe was distracted.

The last thing she wanted to do was fully traumatize the girl by seeing her hard dick.

After nearly a minute, Lilith broke the kiss, panting softly while Chloe looked fully refreshed while panting. "That was a heck of a kiss, kid." Lilith grinned and patted Chloe on the head. "Thanks for showing me how to do that. Now if you'll excuse me." She then stood up and walked out of the room. "I have a mother-daughter threesome to partake in."

"Well..." Cologne chuckled as she saw Chloe blushing but looking refreshed. "That's an interesting technique." Privately she thought it was a dangerous technique. The Musk Dynasty's leader being a descendant of the Chi Dragon, Sen, gave them near infinite Chi energy. "If such a thing could be done with a kiss..."

Sure, she doubted most men would like the thought of kissing another man, but most women didn't like the thought of kissing other women, but if kissing was all it would take to recharge an army, then the Musk Dynasty would have taken over the Jusendo Valley with ease.

"Anyway, excuse me." Chloe said after removing her panties and jumped into the bath with a big splash, sending water everywhere and causing the others to laugh as she came up out of the water before Jackie appeared behind Chloe, her tails swishing, and grabbing the darker-skinned girl, tickling her and causing Chloe to screech as she thrashed in the water.

It was noon when Chloe found herself in the main living area with Lilith, Asmodeus, Ranma, and Cologne. "Um..." She could tell what had happened between Ranma, Asmodeus and Lilith, she wasn't that innocent, but she was curious about one thing.

"How come Miss Asmodeus has red stars on her cheeks and forehead?"

Asmodeus chuckled. "Blame Boyo, these are runes to help me draw in mana from the surrounding area and I don't need to worry about running out of energy again."

"Hey, you're a former Devil King, there's a manga with the leader of Hell having stars on her face, I thought it would fit." Ranma shrugged. "Anyway, Chloe, I have a plan to deal with your crazy woman problem."

"You do?" Chloe asked, perking up as she leaned in, "what is it?"

"We're going to lure that woman out and take the fight to her." Ranma told Chloe. "Sadly, this means you're going to be the bait."

Chloe closed her eyes and tears comically started flowing from them. "I knew it."

End Chapter 20

You all knew that Chloe was going to have a kissing mana transfer scene or two. I toned it down for posting here, you want to see it, well, just watch the anime to see it.
