Crown You King By Kourika(jscaife@austin.rr.com) This story is based primarily off the manga version of Hime-chan no Ribon, but some of Erika's characteristics seemed to be taken from some of the later anime episodes, which I've just recently seen.^^; The characters presented here are not mine; they are the creation of Mizusawa Megumi-sensei, and Shueisha and TV Tokyo own the rights. Please don't sue me; now I've just begun working at my father's company, so I wouldn't have anything worthwhile anyhow.^_~ Many of you may feel that Erika is strongly out of character for this story. However, I will argue that Erika shows signs of having a stronger will and more of a temper than anyone else might expect. She and Hime-chan are not really that different personality-wise; it's just how much they show each side of themselves that makes the difference. Also, in manga 9 Sei starts showing of signs of becoming interested in Erika for real, not just because of the engagement. As a result he gets very shy and bumbling around here...making me wonder if he really had ever been in love at all before her! That's where I took my interpretation of his character for this storyline. Enjoy! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I'm so glad that Daichi and Himeko finally reconciled," Erika said happily, brushing her waist-length hair as she studied herself in the mirror. Her face was infused with an attractive glow, and she surreptitiously studied her new husband in the glass. "I love him so much," the princess thought suddenly, "so much that it almost hurts..." She turned back to Sei's reflection and sighed contentedly. His blonde hair had darkened some over the years, and his muscles had become more defined, but the spirit shining in the dark eyes was the same mischievous boy she'd secretly adored in her childhood. Sei watched his wife's elegant movements, and a lump formed in his throat. Erika was perfect in every way, so beautiful and intelligent, and he still couldn't believe that she had honoured their tentative engagement and chosen him over all her other suitors. He crossed the room and wrapped his arms around, gently kissing her neck. "I love you," he whispered softly, voice trembling. His nerves quivered uneasily with her proximity, and Erika's rose fragrance tickled his senses. Sei let himself enjoy the dangerous sensations for a moment, then resolutely tamped down his physical desires, too shy and reluctant to initiate anything more. Erika turned in his arms and softly brushed her hand over his cheek. "My heart, body, and soul are yours, Sei," she breathed, pressing her body against him and lightly caressing his face. Her soft, dexterous tongue probed the young man's cool lips, finally slipping inside to taste the rough texture of his teeth. Sei tightened his arms possessively around his new wife and pulled her against his sudden arousal greedily. He opened his mouth beneath hers in invitation, and she wrapped her slender arms around his neck, wriggling delightfully against him... "Erika, I can't do this!" Sei panted in frustration as he weakly pushed her away. "You...you're my future queen, ruler of the Magic Realm...It's wrong for me to even have these lustful thoughts!" The princess' face clouded slightly, and she stepped backwards. "The most important thing is that we love one another, isn't it?" the girl asked, her voice breaking slightly. "You will become king by my side one day as Father did with Mother...but our ranks should be irrelevant!" The young man turned away in shame. "I...I do love you...and I've desired you for longer than I care to admit," he laughed bitterly. "It's just..." Erika gently laid a hand on his shoulder. "Would...would you mind if I pleasured you then?" she asked shyly, turning a becoming shade of crimson. The young woman nervously twirled one wavy golden strand around her index finger and tugged. "Maybe it would break the ice..." She embraced Sei from behind without waiting for an answer, pressing her small firm breasts into his back and feathered her fingertips over his collarbone. With painstaking concentration Erika fumbled at the dress shirt buttons until Sei's hand firmly clamped down over hers. "You don't have to do this," he groaned, pushing the young woman's hand away as if her touch pained him. "If you lose your magical abilities, you won't be able to rule...even after you created the ribbon!" Erika ripped away from her husband in shock and fury. She placed her right hand on her hip and advanced on Sei menacingly, shaking her left index finger at him. "Who told you that I had to be a virgin to use my magic?!" the princess demanded angrily. "And why didn't you question it?! How did you think I was born? From a chicken egg? Or maybe I popped out of a cabbage? Or just maybe my mother and father conjured me up?!" Sei paled and meekly held up a thin book. "Um...I read it in this..." Erika swept the novel to the floor without glancing at the title. "Utter trash and nonsense!" she exploded. "Why didn't you ask me about it before this?!" Without any trace of her customary gentleness the girl reached out and savagely tore her companion's shirt from collar to cummerbund. She coolly eyed the buttons spinning across the wooden floor and deftly removed the young man's belt. "If you won't give me what I want, I suppose I'll just have to take it!" Sei paled as his young wife ferociously used her powers to throw him on the bed. His eyes widened in horror as Erika tossed her head defiantly, then moved towards him, lightly popping the cummerbund like a whip. "It won't be any fun if you get away," the girl whispered huskily, running a finger down her captive's chest. Smiling enigmatically, she swiftly wrapped the cummerbund around Sei's wrists, then knotted the fabric to the bed frame. The young man lay frozen, unable to contemplate resistance. Where had the sweet girl he adored disappeared to? He never would have guessed that this sadistic fury could have lain below the surface of the gentle princess with her glowing smile, the girl who had cried bitterly at the though of losing Hime-chan's friendship when she must take back the ribbon. "Is she going to rape me?!" Sei wondered in terror. His ideal wedding night was about as different from this as say Hime-chan and her older sister, Aiko! Erika studied her husband, trying to decide where to start, and her mood slightly softened. Her beloved couldn't help being a fool sometimes...and tonight's idiocy had come from his love for her after all. However, she still needed to teach him a lesson he wouldn't easily forget! " His wife is a woman first and a crown princess second!" she muttered to herself fiercely. "Sei just needs to get it straight!" She straddled her ' victim's' legs and leaned forward, deliberately allowing the neckline of her translucent nightgown to gape open, showing the tops of her breasts. The girl smiled coquettishly and gently kneaded his shoulders, enjoying her power over her husband. Erika slowly trailed her fingers down Sei's chest, then teased his nipples mischievously. His breath came more rapidly against her hair, and the girl replaced her fingers with several of her long golden locks, experimentally brushing and swirling them across the young man's skin. Sei's face turned red, and Erika grinned impishly when she realized he was trying not to laugh. So his chest was sensitive, eh? She gave the young man a sultry look through her long blonde eyelashes, then leaned closer and ran her tongue across his chest. Sei moaned quietly, and the girl turned to his nipples, lightly biting the tender nubs. He arched up into her intimate touch, breathing heavily, and she used her tongue to coax the tender flesh into erect peaks. Erika straightened slightly, so she could move down her companion's chest, leaving a wet trail with her tongue. Sei eyed his bride with a mixture of anticipation and fear as she stroked her hands upwards, but the young woman merely blew across the moistened skin, sending chills across the sensitized flesh. The girl stopped as the top of his pants, appreciatively examining the signs of his arousal. With unaccustomed daring the princess sat up and extended on hand to massage him through the fabric of his dress pants. Sei jerked uncontrollably and whimpered. "D...don't stop..." the young man begged hoarsely, "...feels so good!" Erika smiled triumphantly and swiftly yanked her husband's pants down to his ankles. Controlling her own desire she deliberately drew Sei's undergarments down over his hips, at last revealing his penis to her greedy eyes. The girl shyly reached out and gently caressed the velvety length. Intrigued by the unfamiliar organ Erika allowed her stroking to become stronger, reveling in the rush of heat beneath her palm and Sei's cries of pleasure. "I wonder what would happen if I used my mouth?" the girl thought mischievously. Suddenly she remembered trying to screw up the courage to do the same with Hime-chan four years earlier and began giggling uncontrollably. " Will I actually be brave enough this time, when it's so much more important?" Sei turned an embarrassed red and vainly tried to cover himself. " Is it that small?!" he asked mortified. " You don't have to laugh so hard, you know!" Erika shook her head and tried to catch her breath. " It's not you..." she finally gasped, leaning forward to place a kiss on the shaft's warm tip. Gaining more confidence the girl drew more into her mouth, encircling it with her tongue. Sei's skin tasted hot and salty and bitter all at once, and she ran her tongue along his length appreciating the strange new texture. Her companion thrust his hips up towards, forcing himself deeper into her mouth, but Erika abruptly pulled away. "I think that'll be all for tonight," she said sweetly, knowing how cruel she was to leave him in the throes of desire. Sei lay on the bed shaking and stared at his bride incredulously. " You're going to stop there?!" Blood pounded in his ears, and his groin remained painfully hard after Erika's ministrations. How could she tease him like this? The princess turned away to hide her triumphant grin. "Next time he won't turn me down when I offer to give him intimacy," she gloated. "I think he'll remember this night for a long time!" Erika curled down next to Sei on the bed and gently kissed his cheek. "It's not the wedding night I had planned," she sighed, "but it will have to do..." Sei gazed down at his wife's beautiful, downcast face and tugged on his bindings anxiously. He couldn't bear to disappoint her...To his surprise the fabric yielded easily, and seconds later he crushed Erika to him, hungrily plundering her lips. He frantically tore at her flimsy nightgown until she reached out and guided him, opening herself to his violent assault. Unthinkingly, the young man plunged into her, setting a harsh, angry rhythm of need. Finally, Sei exploded inside his wife and collapsed on her chest, panting. "I'm sorry," he mumbled. "It still wasn't the wedding night you wanted..." Erika brushed his damp hair off his forehead and shook her head. She tenderly enfolded him in her arms, and her smile shone brilliantly. "It was everything I could have wanted and more," the girl said, happy tears welling in her eyes, "because you finally let me crown you king of my heart...for now and always."
