Dance in Sin City
Disclaimer: I own nothing here, tis a shame, the only thing I own is the plot.
I REALLY want to apologize for LONG this took to get out. You guys deserved better than this. So, here's the next chapter and more chapters will be coming from now on.
Chapter 3
It was morning when Nabiki groaned as she sat up in bed. "Urgh, I hate being a responsible adult." She rubbed the sleep out of her eyes as the blanket fell off of her nude body.
"How responsible are you?" A female voice said as her bedmate sat up, also naked. "Considering that you're married, have a child and are having an affair with me."
Nabiki smirked at Ai. "I'm a Devil, having a fling on the side, especially with another woman, isn't a big deal for us." She cupped Ai's chin and leaned in, kissing her on the lips. "Besides, neither my husband nor any of his wives would complain about me getting some fun from you."
Well, Gabriel would, but Nabiki ignored that.
Ai blushed softly. "Well, I don't mind being your side girl." She leaned in and kissed Nabiki again. "After you saved me from those Yuragi, I owe you my life."
"I told you," Nabiki whispered to her companion, "that was just me being in the right place at the right time." She slid a hand up Ai's thighs and squeezed them. "I would love to continue, but I have to meet the other magical girls soon."
Ai sighed softly and licked at Nabiki's neck. "When you're done then?"
"I'll be busy all day." Nabiki shook her head. "Tonight though..."
"Tonight then." Ai said as she squeezed Nabiki's breasts, which caused milk to come out of them. "Yummy." She said and opened her mouth before latching on and sucking on Nabiki's breast, drinking the milk that came out of it.
"H-hey!" Nabiki smacked Ai on the back of the head as she let go. "That's for Saito, not you. If you want milk so badly, I could ask my husband to knock you up."
"No thanks." Ai shook her head. "While I've met your husband once, I don't know him that well and if I got knocked up by anyone, I'd rather it be you."
Nabiki shook her head. "Well," she stretched her arms over her head. "I can't even say that's impossible, I know more than a dozen ways to make that happen that are just temporary." With some more questionable sciences, some magic or just martial arts technique that she knew, such a thing was child's play for anyone who was curious about swapping genders.
"Of course, if this gets out it would be a problem." Nabiki said with an exasperated look on her face. Seeing Ai look at her in confusion, she shook her head. "Not you or me, I was thinking about the bad-faith actors who would use gender changing spells or items on kids and ruin their lives."
Ai nodded and rubbed the back of her head. "Yeah, it's hard enough to grow up in one body, being able to swap bodies at will would mess people up something fierce."
"Well, whatever." Nabiki stood up and tapped her chin as she looked back at Ai, who was giving her a hungry look. "Want to join me in the shower? I've got an hour before I have to meet with them." She shook her head as Ai's expression brightened. "You can fondle my boobs and butt, but don't go any further than that or I'll tie you to the ceiling."
"Right." Ai nodded and the two naked girls went to take a shower together.

Rei Hino sat in front of the Sacred Fire of the Hikawa Shrine and took a deep breath as she meditated. "Oh Sacred Fire, I need information." Sure, it was a little silly sometimes and Rei wondered if maybe the Sacred Fire was created by celestial forces or not, but most days meditating in front of the fire was soothing as it felt like it was cleansing away her worries.
To Rei, the world seemed to disappear, leaving her in a black void with just the fire in front of her. After yesterday, she felt almost relaxed and soothed.
Suddenly Rei let out a yell and spun to see Makoto looking at her in worry. "Are you okay?"
"Makoto?!" Rei gasped as the brunette knelt down next to her. "What was that for?!"
"Sorry," Makoto said softly, "but you were starting to fall over and I didn't want you to get hurt. I knocked on the door, called out to you and you never responded, so I got worried."
"Thanks." Rei said with a nod. "I didn't get any sleep last night. Thinking about the possibility of any of us working with a Devil..."
"I know what you mean." Makoto said with a nod. "...But if she's legitimate with her offer." Rei snapped her head to look at Makoto. "I know that we're supposed to be the future rulers and all that, but that's in the future." A distant look crossed her face as she looked at the floor. "And we're soon going to be out of school. I can't help but think that if she has a job for us and it's legitimate and it pays well..." She looked at Rei, who had a bewildered look on her face. "I know that Ami has plans on becoming a doctor and didn't you say that you wanted to be a shrine maiden and take over your family's shrine?"
Rei nodded and let out a soft sigh. "What will happen with you, Minako and Usagi though?" She wasn't worried about Haruka, Michiru, Setsuna or Hotaru as the three older Senshi all had ways of earning money and surviving and Hotaru was their ward, so that wasn't a concern.
"I'm sure it'll work out." Makoto told her friend.
"I hope so." Rei said and yawned. "I'll probably collapse later." She looked at her wrist and grimaced at the time. "She'll be here soon."
"Well," Makoto stood up, "shall we go? Or do you think you'll be getting a vision?"
Rei shook her head. "Even if I get a vision, I won't be able to interpret it correctly."
The two left the room and went to the waiting room for their guest.

What shocked Rei the most wasn't the fact that Usagi was on time for once, or that Setsuna was there, it was the fact that Nabiki, who was dressed in a business suit, had brought cans of coffee with her. "I figure that some of you would have had trouble sleeping." She smiled at them as she put the grocery bags down. "So I thought that you could use some." Nabiki smiled as she took a can for herself and sat down on a couch, opening it and drinking it. "One of humanity's best accidental discoveries, coffee." She chuckled and grabbed a briefcase and put it on her lap.
Rei wasn't going to complain as she took one and opened it up. At least she wasn't the only one who did.
After letting them drink and swallow, Nabiki opened up her briefcase. "Alright, here." She pulled out some papers. "I've already told you that I need a police force for the supernatural. I'm going to have a base of operations in Las Vegas and these papers have all the information that you need to know, pay, benefits and risks that you'll be expected to come across." She looked at Hotaru and shook her head. "And I really hope that you aren't needed to tackle anything, because at that point, I'm calling in some heavy hitters that I know."
Nabiki wasn't afraid of the power that Hotaru had as Sailor Saturn, but if they needed to unleash Saturn on someone, things had gone horribly wrong and the world was about to end.
"I hope so as well." Hotaru nodded. Sure, if she had to suit up, she would, but she'd rather not, since her power didn't really discriminate friend from foe.
"EH?!" Shockingly, it was Minako that was screaming as her face turned red. "Wh-what's this stuff at the top of the risks section?! And why did you put that first?!"
Nabiki gave Minako a flat stare. "I know someone who tried to train his son in a stupid forbidden martial arts technique because he didn't read to the third page of the manual. I'm not taking any risks with warnings."
"Oh my." Ami said, her face bright red. "This is..."
Haruka twitched and looked at Hotaru. "You are not going on this mission."
Usagi's hair was standing on end as her face was red. "What's this thing about rape, mind control, slavery, body modification, death and forced pregnancy and child birth?!"
Nabiki kept her face cool as the other Senshi, minus Setsuna, all blushed hard. Even Setsuna looked disturbed by what she heard. "To answer your unspoken question, there are beings who are part of our world who despise the fact that the world is moving towards peace and want to cause problems for the rest of us. Most of them are criminals to all the various factions. Others just enjoy chaos and carnage."
"Sounds like all they want to do is fight." Michiru said with a frown and Nabiki shook her head. "Huh?"
"If they just wanted to fight, they could join the International Rating Games." Nabiki said and upon seeing others perk up, she explained to them. "Basically a giant sporting event where most supernatural factions join a team and can fight against each other. It's a great way to keep the more violent members of the supernatural world sated since they can fight to their heart's content and not worry about pissing anyone off. In fact, if you wanted, all of you could join in the future. It's not always fighting. Last time there was an International Rating Game, it was a giant relay race where the Angels ended up winning."
"That..." Ami had a thoughtful look on her face. "You know, that might not be a bad idea in the future."
"Anyway," Nabiki shook her head. "The pay that I'm offering is quite a bit higher than normal police get. If you did this for three years, if you survived with everything intact, you'd be set for the next fifty years easily. And with proper investments, it could last even longer." She shrugged. "Sorry, force of habit on my part."
"That's... Quite a lot you're offering." Makoto said and Nabiki nodded. "Is the risk that bad?"
"Yes." Nabiki nodded. "Whether you take up my offer or not, I'll let you know exactly what I'm dealing with."
Nabiki explained about the people that she had been tracking and would be in Las Vegas when she kicked her operation into full swing. "And the reason I'm telling you this is simply to protect yourselves."
"Interesting." Setsuna said and gave Nabiki a look. "I think I will go with you." The others looked at her in surprise. "Please, don't misunderstand, I have another reason to go with Miss Saotome. However, I will need to get some affairs in order."
"That's fine." Nabiki waved her off. "It's going to take some time to finish building the casino and hotel I plan on using as a base." She folded her hands in front of her and looked at Setsuna. "We'll talk more later." Setsuna nodded and Nabiki looked around at the others. "Remember, there's no pressure for you to join. You can all say no and..."
"I'm going."
Nabiki and the others stared at Minako as she pulled out a pen and wrote her name and phone number on the back of the final sheet. "Are you sure?"
Minako nodded. "Yeah, even if this ends up being a bunch of stuff that wouldn't be out of place in a horror hentai, I'm going to go." She shrugged at the looks she got. "What? It wouldn't be the first time that I had to deal with something crazy."
"This isn't like when you were in London." Usagi protested and Minako gave her a confused look.
"Well, I've dealt with a bunch of zombie rats in London." Minako said and the others looked at her weirdly. "There was a zombie that was wandering around in London."
"Oh yeah, I remember that one." A male voice said as a white cat with a crescent moon jumped up on Minako's head. "A zombie that wanted a guitar for whatever reason fell into a pit of rats and was eaten and they turned into a zombie."
"See, even Artemis knows." Minako smiled as she pointed at the cat. "Anyway, yeah, it was a little weird, but not hard to deal with, I just had to fire a single beam constantly and sweep the area and they were all dead."
"You're absolutely sure?" Nabiki asked Minako, who nodded. "Alright, if that's..."
"I'm going too." Makoto spoke up and the others looked at her. "Hey, someone's got to keep Minako safe."
"Just so you know," Nabiki told her and the others, "none of you have to make your decision right now. I'm grateful for you three," she motioned to Setsuna, Makoto and Minako, "but the rest of you can make your final decision later." Standing up, Nabiki gave a small bow. "Look the details over and you can contact me if you want the job."
The Senshi watched as Nabiki disappeared in a flash of light.
Minako sweat-dropped at the looks she was getting. "It's not like it's guaranteed to be bad."
"And if it is?" Ami asked.
"I'll fall off that bridge when I get to it." The others sighed as Minako screwed up another common saying and nodded. "Besides," Minako said as she became thoughtful. "If there's no other world-ending threat out there like Galaxia and I still have these powers, I want to put them to good use and not just sit on my butt with them."
"What about the rest of you?" Ami asked them.
There were no answers over it.
"Just take your time and think about it." Setsuna said as she stood up. "Don't dive head first into the pool if you don't want to get wet after all."
The others nodded and walked away, all with lots to think about.

Meanwhile...
Ai smiled as she played with Saito. "You're really cute." Memories of a young man that she had met during the Yuragi incident flooded her mind. "Akitoshi..." She sighed softly.
He had been a normal student, someone who should have just ran away during the scary events and leave it to her. "You stupid..." She muttered, remembering how he saved her when her Demonic blood started to boil and she had gone berserk.
Ai sighed again as she thought about what happened next.
*Flash*
"Ai!" Akitoshi grabbed her shoulders as she shuddered and convulsed, trying to relax and calm down after Tohru had raped her with a large pole, just so he could try to kill her in a cruel way. Her crotch still hurt from that pillar being forced into her and nearly ripping through her womb and stomach. "Calm down!"
The damaged and hurt girl in front of him glared at him with glowing red eyes as she tried to hold herself back from killing him. "Y...nnnn..RRRG!" Suddenly Ai jerked forward, her eyes going wide as they glowed red and she let out a primal scream and slashed her magical weapon forward, cutting Akitoshi's head off.
A laughing, mocking voice came from behind Ai as she turned, her body trembling as she saw a head with tentacles coming out of where the neck was. "Geh heh heh heh... Well, I didn't get to show him you dying, but you killing him and then joining him because that drug will destroy you from the inside is most awesome."
Ai tried to move but found herself on her knees, puking up blood.
"Geh heh heh heh..." The head that was Tohru continued to laugh. "Die! You stupid bitch! Just..."
The next thing Tohru knew, he was surrounded by a magical circle. "What the?!" He gasped before it activated and he screamed out as he was being purified.
"Well..." A female voice spoke up and Ai could only look up as two people stood above her and she puked again. "Ravel..."
"Certainly." A splash of water hit her face and Ai gasped as her body started to calm down and heal. Looking up, Ai saw a blonde woman with her hair done in drill pigtails standing above her, looking concerned and another woman with shoulder-length brown hair standing above her. "I think she'll be okay, Nabiki."
*End Flashback*
"I owe your mother my life." Ai smiled at Saito, who just let out a squeal.
A moment later, that squeal changed to an upset look and Ai crinkled her nose. "Well, let's change that diaper, huh?"
End Chapter 3
