From gorgo@kwangju.net Sat Dec 20 00:18:23 1997 Date: Thu, 18 Dec 1997 13:38:18 +0900 From: Fred Herriot Subject: [fanfic][lemon][UY] "A Remarkable Destiny" Part XI Asuka walks down one of the "Lyna'cha's" corridors. She beamed from the "Hasei'cha" ten minutes ago. She was hoping to find Ataru; after all, everyone assured her he wouldn't touch her and she did want to finally be rid of her fear of men. Why not get rid of it by being with the one who triggered it? Besides, he knew things about women. Much more than Mendou...and after what happened to Ryuunosuke and Nagisa, Asuka couldn't feel safe around the man she was supposed to marry. "*Asuka?*" a voice gently inquires around her. "WHO'S THAT?!?!?!" Asuka crouches, eyes scanning about. "*The voice you now hear is that of the 'Lyna'cha's' central computer. You may call me Bianca. Where are you going?*" "Um...I wanted to see Ataru." "*The Daimon'cha is on Earth meeting his family. Perhaps I can help you. My observations of your behaviour since you came aboard inform me that you seem confused. What is the matter?*" Asuka looks around to ensure no one was present, then sighs. "W-well, I was aboard the other ship, the 'Hasei'cha'...and I wanted to visit Ryuunosuke-san and Nagisa-san, so I went to their quarters to visit...and I saw them there." "*In what state?*" "W-well, they were there with that nice doctor Catty and those nice pilots Lufy and Rabby...and all of them had their clothes off ...and they...they..." "*Go on; I won't tell anyone.*" "They were touching each other...touching their private places ...and Nagisa-san and Ryuunosuke-san...they sounded like they were in pain...yet they also seemed very happy...I don't understand." Bianca takes a moment to consider Asuka's words. Her sub- systems take that time to analyze the scant intelligence on this woman. Raised in a convent, isolated from all men for over sixteen years? Outrageous! What type of parents did she have?! "*Asuka, have you been told about the functions of those private places?*" "Um...n-no!" Asuka shakes her head. "*Asuka, what you saw was Ryuunosuke and Nagisa consummating their love with each other as well as with Lufy, Rabby and Catty- i'sagh. In essence, it's the same thing your parents demand you do with Shutaro Mendou...though I suspect that after what he did to Nagisa and Ryuunosuke, you'll be reluctant to remain with him.*" "Y-yeah!" Asuka nods. "*Asuka, I can propose one thing. This gross neglect in your education is something that could threaten your well-being in the future. That should be corrected. Given your phobia of males, I know of one place where you can go to learn the answers you seek.*" "Can you?! Can you take me there, Bianca-san?!" "*Yes, I can. Transporting now...*" * * * "A Remarkable Destiny" a Urusei Yatsura lemon fic by Fred Herriot gorgo@kwangju.net **** **** **** Based on "Urusei Yatsura" created by Rumiko Takahashi **** **** **** NOTE: All standard lemon warnings apply. This is my second time at this, so please give me a break. I'll try to keep it as spicy as possible without going too overboard. WRITER'S NOTES 1) The Sagussan monetary unit is the pyogh. It's equivalent value is ten ounces of gold. Since gold, silver and latinum are very common on Sagussa, the Republic works on a gold standard, its coins being made from latinum pressed by fourteen-carat gold. 2) Basic Sagussan questions: Personals: Va - I/me. Do - you (single). Moe - he. Sho - she. Si - it. Va'a - we. Do'a - you (plural). Moe'a - they (male). Sho'a - they (female). Si'a - they (non-gender). To convert this to possessive pronouns, attach it before the object word, i.e. vanan'cha (my heart), vamarei'cha (my bond-mate), vayae (my darling, my dearest, my sweetheart). Locators: Kumgh - this (near thing). Kugh - that (far thing). Kumgh'a - these (near things). Kugh'a - those (far things). Questions, prepositions: Chu - do. Igh - is. Nugh - who. Nurgh - whom. Nu - whose. Ongh - which. Mugh - what. Digh - where. Jegh - when. Magh - why. Dogh - how (what state). Onugh - how (what extent). Su - can. Haegh - may. Math - if. Haj - let. Taem - because. Shi - please. These attach behind the central word of the object or subject, depending on intonation. Verbs: Igh - be. Hagh - do for oneself. Ogh - come to this spot. Kagh - go from this spot. Kaj - have. Ragh - love. Mandu - create. Hage - compel someone to... Tamgh - dance. Ijo - forget. Kiokgh - remember. Yongh - excuse. Top - be well (state of one's health). Verbs can be combined, i.e. Manduragh - make love, Haghmandu - create for oneself. These words maintain their forms when they become nouns. "Tamgh va ragh" directly means "dance love for me," but in that instance, it is considered a noun phrase. Answers and Time Frame Replies: En - yes. Nyo - no. Nyo'ne - never. Hang - always. Taeg - usually. Idagh - sometimes. Anghke - rarely. Exclamations: Aghya - Oh! Lynamei'na - Lyna's Soul! Some basic phrases: Aghya, doghma Lyna va! - Thank Lyna! Aghya, kaj chab Lyna! - Lyna have mercy! Ijo si do. - Forget it Aghya, yongh va'shi do! - I'm sorry! Kagh va'anal va'a. - Let's go home. Hagh tamgh va ragh va'a - Let's have sex. To make anything a question, your voice raises in intonation at the end. Ensure proper question words are added to the subject: Kaj mei'nasanjpumgh-kochegh do'chu? (Do you have a cure for a headache?) Kaj mei'nasanjpumgh-kochegh do. (You do have a cure for a headache.) No marks are added for an exclamation, though Sagussans usually add an exclamatory phrase to indicate their emotions: Kagh va'anal va'a. - Let's go home. Aghya, kagh va'anal va'a! - Let's go home! Imperative sentences are indicated with the addition of "Jok" to the subject or object block. When it's one-on-one, the pronouns Va or Va'a MUST appear in the object block. When it's talking about a command for a third person, the third-person pronouns appear in the object block followed by "jok": Kagh shonal Lum - Lum goes to her home. Kagh shonal Lum'igh? - Is Lum going home? Kagh vanal Lum'jok! - Lum, go home! Priss, kagh shonal'jok Lum! - Priss, make Lum go home! **** **** **** PART ELEVEN - INNOCENCE LOST Asuka blinks as the transporter seizes her, then takes her to another hallway, placing her in front of a door marked MAINTENANCE LAB TWO - COMPANION ANDROIDS. Blinking...she loved travelling by transporter...she stares at the door. "What's this, Bianca-san?" "*Go inside,*" Bianca urges. Asuka looks in. Since he came to work here, Megane had reorganized the rooms to make the lab look less like a human meat shop and more like a serious workspace; the other robotics techs didn't really care how they scattered things. The construction lab was clear of any work, the parts stored in new bins against one wall; once Benten's and Ryuunosuke's doubles were finished, current orders were cleared. "What's this place, Bianca-san?" A transporter beam is heard. "This is a workshop meant to help people understand," a voice then speaks from behind her. Asuka blinks. Bianca's voice had a soft metallic twang to it; you could tell that was a computer. This one spoke like a real person. Turning, she sees a woman her height with suntanned skin, long blonde hair tied in a French braid and blue eyes, dressed now in a red-and-gold engineer's jumpsuit. "Who are you...Bianca- san?!" Asuka wonders, then blinks. "But you're a computer!" "That's right," the woman nods. "My sentience is still in my central processor...about five kilometres that way," she points aft. "However, there do come times when I get the urge to stop being just a computer and go out to be with organics. Hence, I have this body to use." "This is a robot body?" Asuka wonders. "The proper term is android, not robot," Bianca amends, then holds out her hand. "Here. Touch me." Asuka reaches out, then gasps. "You're warm." "Oh, yes!" Bianca nods. "This body exactly replicates the body of a twenty year old Yehisrite woman. Yehisrites are people like Lufy, Makoto, May and Priss; I've always liked them the best." "Wow!!" Asuka smiles. "This is neat!" "I'm going to show you something neater," Bianca winks, then reaches out for her hand. "C'mon." Taking her hand, Asuka follows her through the preparation lab and into the testing lab. Megane had turned in an hour before, his three latest androids in storage. Bianca then leads her into the storage room, lights turning on to reveal the room's deactivated guests. "What's everyone doing here?!!" she cries out. "No, these aren't your friends, Asuka," Bianca smiles. Asuka blinks. "These are androids?" "Yes," the blonde smiles. "Everyone on Sagussa has an android constructed in her image. This helps people if they want to get to know someone, or want to be with someone yet are embarrassed to try to be with the real person. These androids serve as surrogates." "Oh!" Asuka blinks, not completely understanding it. "Here, look!" Bianca points at one. "Here's Shinobu." Shinobu is dressed in her normal beige-brown blouse and dark brown skirt with socks and mary janes. "And here's Oyuki," Bianca indicates the princess' double, now in her usual kimono. "You should know Benten, of course," she then indicates that android, then the two beside her. "And Nagisa and Ryuunosuke, too." "Wow!!" Asuka breathes, then looks. "Bianca-san, who's she?" Bianca looks. "Ah, this is Noa, our Elder Mother. She's a very important person on our planet, perhaps the most important. She's also very important to Ataru and Lum; that's why everyone is preparing to rescue her and Lum when they find them." Noa's double is dressed in her usual tank-top shirt, short skirt, bobby socks and slip-on pumps. "She's very pretty," Asuka sighs, then notices a new one standing across from Noa. "Who's this? She looks like Ataru!" "This is Atako Moroboshi," Bianca indicates the new android, who was built by Maria just before Megane began working full-time in the lab. "She's Ataru's sister." "I didn't know Ataru had a sister. Are they twins?" "Yes, you can say that," Bianca nods, smiling. "Anyhow, you may do whatever you want with any of them as long as you don't hurt them. Press the tan buttons by their feet to wake them up...and please put them back when you're done with them." "Won't you stay?" Asuka wonders. "Unfortunately, this body has a very limited power source, so I have to put it away very soon. Don't worry; I'll be monitoring you all the time in case you get into trouble. Okay?" "Okay!" Asuka nods as Bianca walks out, then looks around. She wished there was one of Ryooko so she could talk to a friend. Ryooko herself was aboard the "Hasei'cha," on the bridge the last time Asuka saw her. Staring at the faces, she picks Ryuunosuke, then steps on the power-up switch at the android's feet. Ryuunosuke breathes out a moment later. "Oh, hi, Asuka!" she smiles, stepping off her recharge unit. "So what are you doing here? Are you okay?" "H-hi, Ryuunosuke-san," Asuka meekly waves. "Strange, I just saw you on the 'Hasei'cha.'" "Well, I am programmed with Onee-chan's memories. Here, let's get out of this place and make ourselves comfortable." The two step into the main testing lab, sitting on the bed. "So, how is Onee-chan? Has she bonded with Nagisa-chan yet?" Ryuunosuke gazes at Asuka. "I...I don't know what that means," Asuka admits. Ryuunosuke blinks. "Well, it means that Onee-chan and Nagisa- chan are now a couple. They'll be living together for the rest of their lives...sort of like what you were going to do with Mendou." "Is that right?" Asuka wonders. "I mean, the nuns once told me that two women living together was very wrong, just like two men living together." "Well, on many places on Earth, it's considered wrong," the android muses. "However, as you notice, we're aboard a Sagussan starship...and Onee-chan and Nagisa-chan are now Sagussans. On that planet, two women living together is quite normal." "Oh, I see," Asuka nods. "Then, what were Ryuunosuke-san and Nagisa-san doing with Catty-sensei, Lufy-san and Rabby-san?" "Well...do you remember when Nagisa-chan was shot?" "Yes," Asuka looks down. "When Nagisa-chan was shot, her soul was saved by Rabby until she got a new body. When that happened, they fell in love and became a couple. Then Onee-chan was poisoned and Lufy saved her soul while her body was repaired. They became a couple, too. I'm sure Catty was brought in because Lufy loves Catty and she wanted to be a couple with Catty. Understand?" "So...all five are going to live together?" "That's right. They'll be a family now." "Wow!!" Asuka gasps. "So...why were they on a bed without any clothes on and touching each other's private places?" "So that's your problem, isn't it?!" Ryuunosuke nods, smiling. "Asuka, they were having sex." "Sex?!" Asuka blinks. "But...the only time you have sex is with your husband when you want to have children!" "That's in many places across Earth," Ryuunosuke notes. "On Sagussa, however, sex can occur whenever two or more people want to have it and they don't force anyone into doing it. If you force someone, it's called rape and that's VERY bad. Even on Earth, that's true. You understand that, don't you?" "Yes, I do," Asuka then takes a moment to interpret what the android just said. "If that's the way people think, then if I say I don't want sex with Shuu-chan, he can't force me?" "Morally, he can't force you. However, once you're married, it's considered tradition that you should have sex with him." Asuka frowns. "I don't want to have sex with him...not after what he did to you and Nagisa-san," she sighs. "Then that means I shouldn't marry him. But I don't think my parents'd like that." Ryuunosuke cyber-links to Bianca's mainframe to get an update, then smiles. "Well, Ataru is now on Earth speaking to his family. He's going to tell Mendou's parents about what Mendou did to Onee- chan and Nagisa-chan. What happens next...who knows." "Yeah, Ryooko-chan told me about Ataru's family; weird, huh?" "Oh, considering what we've been through...I'm speaking Onee- chan's words now...it isn't as strange as you'd think." "I guess so," Asuka giggles, then stares at Ryuunosuke. "Ryuunosuke-san, you said that sex occurs between people who love each other. Can two people who like each other have sex?" "Yes, they can," Ryuunosuke nods. "On Earth, casual sex, which is sex between friends or strangers, is frowned on in many places. On Sagussa, the only rule concerning sex is that if you do it, you do NOT force another person to do it with you." "Okay! So...you and I could do it? I could do it with any of the girls in there?" she points to the storage lab. "Yes," Ryuunosuke nods. "In fact, it's better that you'll do it with us than with the real people. I know Onee-chan likes you, but she believes that because you've been isolated for so long, it would be wrong to expose you to things you might not be mentally prepared for. Sex is as much an emotional experience as a physical one, Asuka. In fact, almost everyone who knows of you feels the same way. So...they'd be hesitant to have sex with you." "What about you?" Asuka points at her. "Or them?" she then indicates the storage lab. "We're different," Ryuunosuke admits. "You see, we're built primarily for sex. Bianca didn't tell you we have all our Onee- chans' memories, so we behave like we were the real people. People who don't have bond-mates...that's what Onee-chan and Nagisa-chan are now...use us to find out about a person they'd like to get to know better so they could become bond-mates with them." "So if I had one built of myself, someone could come to her and find out about me...then become my bond-mate?" "Exactly," Ryuunosuke nods. "Wow!" Asuka sighs, then stares at her. "But what happens when they have a bond-mate?" "We have many purposes. You notice two of the Pathfinder Troop Six androids are gone. They're down on Earth helping Linna and Nene babysit Ten-chan. Also, there may come some men who'd like to have sex with a woman, but is a little shy about being with the real person. We sub in for them. We can do many things, you know. We help people...just like I'm helping you right now." "Thank you, Ryuunosuke-san," Asuka blushes. "So what do you want to do?" "I...want to have sex." "Okay. With me?" "Would you mind?" "I'd love to. Would you like to have someone else come out? You might feel a little more comfortable with more people. We all have the basic programming, but our Onee-chans' experiences vary, so you can learn a lot more." "Okay! Um...I don't know many of the Sagussans, though. Could Shinobu-san come out?" "Sure. Would you want Nagisa, too?" "Yes...and Benten-san and Oyuki-san, too." "Okay!" Ryuunosuke nods. "Perhaps to make you feel better, Asuka, how would you like to meet someone?" "Who?" "Atako. You know of her?" "Ataru's sister? Sure, I'd like to meet her!" A moment later, Shinobu, Oyuki, Benten, Nagisa and Atako emerge with Ryuunosuke from the storage room. "Hello, Asuka-chan," Shinobu bows lightly. "It's nice of you to visit us." Asuka nods as the androids move to the bed, kicking off their shoes as they form a circle. Asuka sits between Ryuunosuke and Shinobu. "Okay, Asuka-chan, what's the problem?" Benten wonders. The lone organic suddenly finds herself blushing. "Asuka-chan here is very shy, as you can see," Ryuunosuke lightly smiles. "She just watched Onee-chan, Nagisa-onee-chan, Lufy, Catty-i'sagh and Rabby consummate their bonding and doesn't really understand why people do that to each other and themselves. So, she's come here to ask our help. You think we can help her, girls?" "Of course," Shinobu smiles. "I can only guess what those nuns taught you at that convent, Asuka-chan!" "Um...n-not much," Asuka admits, hugging herself. "It's okay, Asuka," Benten modulates her voice to produce a subtle hypnosis, one designed to calm the Terran's fear. "We won't hurt you. We'll explain everything to you. Everything is under your control. If you want us to stop, we'll stop. Sounds fair?" "Yes," Asuka nods, feeling a lot easier. Benten then stands, reaching to her bikini bottoms. "Okay, I'm going to take these off," she slides the silver fabric away to expose her privates, then sits back on the bed. Asuka stares at her as Benten parts the lips of her gate to expose her tower. "Okay, you see this little bulb here? This is a very sensitive spot on a woman's body. Have you ever touched yourself here before, Asuka?" "No," Asuka sighs. "The mother superior told me that touching myself down there outside of washing my body was very sinful." "Why am I not surprised?!" Benten snorts, throwing up her arms as everyone giggles. "Okay, everyone, slip off your pants and skirts! We're all going to do this." Everyone rises. Shinobu's, Nagisa's and Atako's skirts come off, as do Ryuunosuke's pants. Oyuki slips off her kimono to reveal a bikini, then she slips off the bottoms. Everyone then sits on the bed. "Okay, watch us, Asuka-chan," Benten smiles as she dives for her tower. Asuka blinks as the six androids begin to gently stroke their towers with their fingers. Very pleased looks appear on their faces as they continue to masturbate, many with their eyes closed. "You like that?" she stares at Ryuunosuke. "Yeah, it's great!" the android smiles, then she looks at the Terran. "Why don't you do it, Asuka-chan?" "I..." Asuka feels her cheeks redden. "She's so shy!" Shinobu stops, then sits beside her. "Here, Asuka-chan. It's very fun for people to do each other if they trust each other enough. I trust you; will you do it to me?" "Um...okay!" Asuka nods as she reaches over. Shinobu's hand guides her into her gate, stroking her tower. That causes the android to gasp suddenly, though she modulates her voice so as to not alarm the embarrassed Terran too much. In a moment, Shinobu's hips begin to sway with Asuka's fingers. "Oh, Asuka-chan, you have such soft fingers," Shinobu smiles. "Do you like it?" Asuka wonders. "Oh, yes!" Shinobu nods, gently kissing her cheek, then smiles. "Okay, stop. Now, why don't you touch Ryuunosuke-chan?" Asuka nods, then turns to the android behind her. The others have stopped, watching the Terran as she strokes Ryuunosuke's tower, causing her to purr with delight. "You're right, Shinobu- chan, she's got very nice fingers!" Ryuunosuke licks her lips, then gazes at the android beside her. "You want her next, Nagisa-chan?" "Please," Nagisa sits up on her knees. Asuka stops, then reaches over to touch the brown-haired android. Nagisa coos with delight as Asuka fondles her for a bit, then she guides her to Oyuki. "Oyuki-san, why don't you have hair down here?" Asuka wonders on seeing Oyuki's hairless crotch. "Onee-chan's people don't grow hair there," Oyuki smiles. "When we stop this, I'll show you the other Tritonian Daishi'cha, like Catty and Reinoevan, to prove my point." "Okay," Asuka reaches over. At least she didn't have to look for Oyuki's tower. Oyuki sighs with delight as Asuka sees to her needs, then she guides the Terran to Benten. The Fukunokami android places Asuka's free hand on her shoulder. "When two people do that, they usually hug each other; it's a bit more comfortable." "I understand," Asuka nods. After she has been satisfied, Benten guides Asuka to Atako. "Here, get close, Asuka-chan," the brown-haired female version of Ataru opens her arms. "I want to hug you." "Okay," Asuka leans close. Atako relaxes her head on the Terran's shoulder as Asuka reaches down to stroke her tower. The android closes her eyes as she analyzes what information she has on Asuka. Very lonely girl, forced into a bonding with the man who had tried to kill the real Atako Moroboshi and wound up hurting someone else. The android knew that her Onee-chan was looking for some way to strike back at Mendou...and that gives her an idea. "Thank you, Asuka-chan," she pulls back, then gently kisses Asuka's lips. "Atako..." Shinobu warns. Asuka remains in place as she feels Atako's lips on hers. It was a gentle kiss, very sweet. "Thank you, Atako-san." "Atako-chan," Atako modifies. Asuka nods. "Atako-chan." "Now, why don't you do it to yourself?" Atako guides Asuka back to the head of the circle. "Don't worry; there's not a single man in this part of the ship and Bianca'll warn us if one comes." "Um...okay," Asuka nods, standing as she undoes her leotard. Underneath the pink and black cloth is a beautiful sports bra and underwear. Asuka stares at the androids, then smiling, reaches down to pull the latter off, revealing her very thick curly brown namghsupgh. "Wow!" Benten whistles, guessing how the rest of her body must be. "And to think she hid all that under her armour!" "You like it?" Asuka wonders. "Asuka-chan, people don't normally care how a person's pubic region really looks," Shinobu muses, firing Benten an annoyed glare. "What happens is that when someone, usually a man, sees that, they become aroused. On Sagussa, women can become aroused when they see it, too. We'll get to that in a moment. Now, show us what you can do for yourself." "Okay," Asuka spreads her legs, then gently reaches in. The first jolt takes her by surprise, eliciting a startled gasp from the Terran. "It's okay!" Ryuunosuke gently soothes her. "That's supposed to happen, Asuka-chan. Now, don't pinch it. That hurts if you're not careful. Just rub it in a circle." "O-okay," Asuka bites her lip as she gently strokes her throbbing tower, her body beginning to tremble as those wonderful jolts race up from her groin. "Feels like I want to pee." "It's okay, Asuka-chan," Benten nods. "That rush you're feeling is sexual arousal. That's normal for someone like you." "So boys would feel this if I showed them my privates?" "Right!" Benten nods. "Now, what one does with that arousal depends on the person, so you'll have to be very careful, okay?" "What would Shuu-chan do?" Asuka wonders, settling down as she became more used to her body's reaction to her ministrations. "We really can't predict," Shinobu warns. "But from my Onee- chan's experience with him, I can guess that if he sees you like this, he will try to have sex with you no matter what you feel." Asuka stops. "He'd rape me." "Yeah," Shinobu nods. Silence falls over them as Asuka considers that. Ever since hearing about what he did to Nagisa and Ryuunosuke, her feelings for Mendou had taken a dramatic downturn. Once, she actually was looking forward to marrying him, doing what their clans wanted. Now, she was very scared of him, wanted to be as far away from him as possible. And now this? "I wouldn't like that," Asuka admits. "We're very sorry," Oyuki sighs. "Arigato, Oyuki-san." "Asuka-chan," Atako smiles. "Would you let us touch you?" Asuka blinks. They had let her touch them. "Okay." She turns to Shinobu. "You do me, too," she insists as they gently embrace, their hands reaching for the other's gate. Everyone watches as the two relax, their hands stroking the other's towers as their bodies shake with the surge of pleasure their fondling provokes. "Oooh, you're really good, Shinobu-san," Asuka sighs, leaning back as she closes her eyes. "For a beginner, you're quite good, too!" Shinobu smiles. After a moment, they stop, then Shinobu gives her a kiss on the cheek. "My turn!" Ryuunosuke sits up as Asuka turns to her. After a minute or so, Asuka then shifts to Nagisa, then Oyuki, then Benten, then finally Atako. Both embrace as their hands reach down for the other's towers, then go to work. "Oh, you're the softest one of all, Atako-chan," Asuka smiles. "You're very soft too, Asuka-chan," Atako leans up. They gently kiss. "Do people kiss when they do this?" "Oh, yes," Atako nods. The others smile as the two continue to fondle and kiss the other. Finally, they break apart. "Thank you, Asuka-chan," Atako kisses her. "I really enjoyed that." "Th-thank you, Atako-chan," Asuka breathes in. "I did, too." "Now comes the next part," Oyuki announces. "Atako-chan's been showing you the basics, Asuka-chan, but this is how two people who love each other kiss. Benten?" Benten turns to her. Asuka watches as they gently embrace, their mouths interlocking as their tongues begin to explore their north gates. "Oyuki, Benten, freeze," Nagisa orders. The two androids freeze in place. Nagisa and Atako move to gently separate them. "Do they mind that?" Asuka wonders. "It's okay," Nagisa smiles, then points. "This is called a French kiss on Earth...or stoking the north gate on Sagussa. You see how their teeth are parted, their tongues in each other's mouth? It feels very nice when you do that." "Okay," Asuka blushes. "Can you let them finish?" "Sure," Nagisa smiles as she and Atako forces the two androids back together, then orders. "Benten, Oyuki, continue." The two begin moving, kissing each other passionately. "Are you two okay?" Asuka gently inquires. "We're fine, Asuka-chan," Oyuki smiles, then returns to stoking Benten's gate with gusto. Asuka sits back, then stares at Shinobu. "Shinobu-san, aren't Oyuki-san and Benten-san bonded to someone else?" "Yes," Shinobu nods. "Oyuki's bonded to Honey and Benten's bonded to Priss. But Ryuunosuke-chan said you can have sex with whomever you want as long as it's mutually consenting. Stoking one's north gate is part of sex, it's a way of expressing that feeling you had when you touched yourself." "Ah!" Asuka nods, staring at Atako. "So you wanted to do that with me when we touched each other, right?" "Right," Atako nods, opening her arms. "Let's practice." Asuka slides over, her lips gently caressing Atako's as their hands reach down for the other's south gate. As that rush thunders through her, her mouth opens to allow Atako's tongue to slip into her. Both warmly embrace as they continue to gong their towers, throwing themselves into the kiss with renewed passion. "Easy, Atako-chan...don't reach into her," Shinobu warns. After a seemingly endless period, Atako and Asuka pull away, both breathing very heavily. "Oh, wow...!" the latter sighs. "That really felt great." "You like it, don't you?" the former wonders. "Yeah! I can see why Ryuunosuke-san and Nagisa-san liked doing that to each other...but why were they in pain?!" "Ah!" Benten nods. "That's the last thing you have to learn, Asuka-chan. Here, Nagisa, lay down." Nagisa slides onto the bed as everyone sits around her. "Now, when you saw them together, Asuka, did Ryuunosuke-onee-chan reach into Nagisa-onee-chan's private place?" Benten stares at her. "Yes," Asuka nods. "And...she was both in pain yet she seemed to be enjoying it very much. I don't understand that." "Okay," Benten nods, prying Nagisa's gate open to expose her love canal. "You see this? It's called a vagina; on Sagussa, it's nicknamed the south gate. Now, if you were with Mendou, he would put his penis...you know what he has? Good; the nuns taught you something right!...into your south gate. If it worked right, nine months later, you'd have a baby. That's sex's main purpose; to have children. On Sagussa, since you have freedom of choice with whomever you want to do it with, regardless if they're a man or a woman, you should learn what doing it with a woman's like." "Okay!" Asuka nods. "Does it hurt?" "Yes, there'll be a lot of discomfort, especially if it's the first time you allow someone inside your gate," Benten nods. "You see, in women who've never done it, there's this sheath of tissue in your gate. It's the hymen. When a man penetrates you, he has to break the hymen to make you pregnant. I think when Nagisa-onee- chan and Ryuunosuke-onee-chan did it, they both broke their hymens, so that's why they were in pain. It's bad but it goes away quick." "I see," Asuka hums. "So, when I have someone take down my door," she elicits a smile from everyone, "...it should be someone I live very much, right?" "Right!" Atako nods. "Do you want one of us to do it?" Shinobu nods. "We could do it such a way to ease your discomfort." "No thanks," Asuka shakes her head. "I really appreciate this, though...and I'm tired," she stifles a yawn. "Oh, bedtime for you, young lady," Oyuki smiles as everyone moves to get dressed. "Well, if you don't mind putting us away, we'll let you go back to the 'Hasei'cha' to get some sleep." "Okay," Asuka moves to put on her leotard. A moment later, Shinobu stands on her recharge pad. "If you ever have any more questions or want to have some fun, don't be afraid to come to us, okay?" she kisses Asuka. "Okay," Asuka steps on the tan button. "Good night." Shinobu jolts as energy is sapped from her, her body locking up. Asuka shivers slightly on seeing her so deathly still, then relaxes as Benten stands on her recharge pad. "The person who becomes your bond-mate will be a very happy person if I know you," she gently kisses Asuka on the cheek. "Go find her." "I will," Asuka shuts the Fukunokami android down. She then deactivates Ryuunosuke and Nagisa. "Asuka, come here and see this," Oyuki waves her over to where Catty is standing. "What?" Asuka walks over. Catty is dressed in her white-and-blue shirt and jeans. Oyuki unbuttons her jeans, then tugs down to expose her hairless south gate. "See?" Oyuki smiles. "Catty is a Tritonian, so she has no hair down here, just like me." "Does she mind you doing that?" Asuka blinks. "On, none of us mind that when we're shut off," Oyuki smiles as she puts Catty's pants back on. "In fact, a lot of people undress us before turning us on. It's alright." Once Catty is prepped, Oyuki stands on her recharge pad as Asuka shuts her down. She then turns to Atako, who doesn't seem willing to go to her recharge pad. "Don't you want to sleep?" Atako muses. "I do have about twelve hours of charge left in my system before I'd have to eat or come back here. Would you like someone to sleep with tonight?" "You'd sleep with me?" "Oh, yes," Atako nods. "You see, when you have sex, you become quite tired afterward, so you sleep together. You might as well get used to it." *And get used to me so you can love Onee- chan and be her marei'cha,* the android mentally adds. "Okay! Um...out there?" she points to the testing lab. "No, the workers don't like that," Atako shakes her head. "Well, you can take me to the 'Hasei'cha;' you have a guest room there, don't you?" "Uh-huh! Let's go!" * * * "Oh, Asuka-chan, there you are!!" Ryuunosuke walks into the transporter room as Asuka and Atako step off the pads. "Where've you been for the last while?! We've been worried sick about you!" "Sorry, Ryuunosuke-san," Asuka blushes. "I didn't mean to look in on you and Nagisa-san like that!" "It's okay," Ryuunosuke sighs, then stares at the android beside her. What the...? "Asuka-chan, where've you been?" "On the 'Lyna'cha,'" Asuka feels her cheeks redden. "Atako- chan here showed me what you and Nagisa-san were doing..." Ryuunosuke blinks. "Who else were you with?" "Um...you, Nagisa-san, Shinobu-san, Benten-san and Oyuki-san." "Ah!! That's okay. Did you enjoy yourself?" "I learned a lot," Asuka admits. "That's good!" Ryuunosuke turns to the controls. "Okay, I'll log you back in. Don't leave the ship without telling someone from now on, okay. Eluza got really worried." "I'm sorry," Asuka bows. "It's alright. We don't bite people's heads off for being curious. Now, I'm going back to bed." She turns to the door. "Ryuunosuke-san?" "Yeah?" Ryuunosuke looks at her. "I hope you and Nagisa-san are happy together." Ryuunosuke smiles. "I hope someone comes along to show you how happy you can be when this happens. Take care of her, Atako." "I will," Atako nods as the pilot heads to bed... * * * "We've localized possible target areas," Shildy indicates a graphic of Phentax Twenty-three. "If Gaylan wants to remain out of sight while he's holding Lum and Noa, he has to be in one of the remote residence zones. It's still a lot of territory to cover and there are natural EM fields that are making the rovers' search more daunting. We're not giving up, though." "I wouldn't expect Gaylan to make it easy," Ataru snarls. Asuka walks onto the "Hasei'cha's" bridge. Atako woke her up to return her back to the maintenance lab before everyone came in. After breakfast, the younger Mizunokoji felt as if she had no problems in the world. What better way to test it than be with Ataru? "Good morning, everyone!" she smiles, then stops as Ataru stares at her. "Oh, 'morning, Asuka-chan," Ataru smiles. "Wow!!" she walks up, her hand gently touching his beard. "That is a change! You look so different, Ataru!" "Yeah, I felt I needed the change of image. Lyna knows, I'll be apologizing to you and everyone else for all the times I've tried to glomp you over the last two years, so I might as well demonstrate that I have changed." "Don't apologize," Asuka smiles. "Just get Lum-san and Noa- san back safe and sound, okay?" "Okay," Ataru holds out his hand. Asuka blinks, then gently grasps it. "You know after what's happened, I'd consider you my Onii-chan now," she smiles. "You might be doing that a lot," Ataru wryly muses. "I hear you spent last night with my sister's companion android." "You don't mind?" "Of course not. But if you want to be with the real Atako- chan, you better go to the 'Lyna'cha.' She said she'll be spending the morning in the forward Recreation deck pool." "Okay!" she smiles. "Ataru-onii-chan, what's going to happen to Shuu-chan? Everyone said you were down on Earth talking to your family." "Yes, I was," Ataru sighs. "Your parents and Ryooko's parents will be meeting my grandmother later today. She and my uncle...we had to pluck him from the Peruvian jungle...will tell them what happened, then they'll have a choice to make. If we can limit the damage control to just Mendou, your families'll weather it well. In fact, a lot of people will admire you for having the guts to admit what he did in public. As for what that means for you and him, well, that's between you two." "I won't marry him," Asuka sighs. "Not after what he did." "I don't blame you," Ataru frowns, then smiles. "Look, why don't you go see Atako-chan? She doesn't have any real friends; she can use one right about now." "Okay!" Asuka smiles. "I'll see you later!" Ataru waves as she heads off the bridge. Shildy smiles. "Ataru, she's perfect for Atako." "I know," Ataru winks. "But you have to admit, Ryooko-chan's perfect for you, Shildy-chan. You have good taste." "Doghma do va," Shildy kisses him. "As a matter of fact, why don't you get Ryooko-chan and go have some fun?" Ataru adds. "She needs the chance to experience what being friends with a Sagussan's like. 'Sides, when the rovers find Lum-chan and Noa-chan, they'll warn us." "Good idea," Shildy walks off the bridge... * * * Asuka steps into the "Lyna'cha's" forward Recreation deck to see it already crowed with laughing and playing women. She blinks on noting that all of them were nude, then shrugs. What could she do? While they were nice, these were people from a different planet with different morals. She had learned that last night. Walking down, she walks onto the pool deck, then sits herself down to undress. "Hi, Asuka-chan!" Shinobu waves at her. Asuka waves back. Shinobu and Sylia were sharing a love chair after some time swimming. As soon as her sports bra and panties were off, Asuka walks up to them. "Hi, Shinobu-san, Sylia-san. How are you two today?" "We're fine," Shinobu smiles. "My, you're brave coming down here right away. What happened to you last night? Eluza said you disappeared from the 'Hasei'cha' for some time." "Well, I was here, up where the androids were," Asuka admits. "They..." she feels her cheeks redden. "They showed me some things I always wanted to know about." "Who?!" Shinobu blinks. "Well, there was..." "Ah!!!" Shinobu stops her. "Asuka-chan, you're not supposed to tell other people when you get close to someone!" "Shi-chan, don't embarrass her more that she already is," Sylia tries desperately not to laugh. "Believe it not, Sylia-san, I don't know whether or not to be embarrassed when I talk about sex," Asuka admits. "Oh, I see," the Pathfinder commander nods. "Relax, Asuka- chan. We were all like that at one point in time, even your friends from Tomobiki. Pull up a chair and relax, come join us." "Thanks," Asuka smiles as she takes an empty lawn chair, then sets it down beside Sylia. She then looks around, her eyes finding others. "Oh, there's Ryuunosuke-san and Nagisa-san." Ryuunosuke, Nagisa, Lufy, Catty and Rabby had shoved a couple love chairs together so they could all be close. "That is going to be one of the wildest families on Sagussa," Sylia admits. "Lyna, putting up to four other people would be taxing on anyone." "You put up to me enough!" Shinobu pouts. "And you say I have the passion of a dozen!!" "But I don't mind putting up to you, Shi-chan!" Sylia coos. They warmly kiss, then Shinobu stares at Asuka. "You don't seem to mind watching that, Asuka-chan," she muses. "I know what Sylia-san's enjoying," Asuka smiles. "It seems our resident man-phobe isn't as naive as people'd suspect," Sylia muses. "Don't talk anymore about what you did last night, Asuka-chan. It's supposed to be private. Besides, all the companion androids are programmed never to tell their templates who they spend time with. Saves embarrassment." "I understand," Asuka nods, then waves. "Hi, Benten-san!" "Yo, Asuka!" Benten waves as she and Priss walk up, moving to undress. "So, you decided to mingle with everyone, huh?! Having a good time?" "Oh, yes!" Asuka nods. *You helped.* Benten and Priss pull up another love chair, then watch the new "Hasei'cha" Comedy of Errors across the way. "Shit, when Ryuu- chan wanted to get away from her father, she really went and got away from her father, eh?!" the Fukunokami smiles. "Shock therapy's always good," the coxswain muses. "I hate to be in her old man's shoes when she comes down dressed in her new uniform with her meijasha ready to bust outta her top." Everyone laughs. "The rest of the school's going to freak when they see that!" Shinobu titters. "Many of them still don't know that Ryuunosuke's a girl!!" "They'll find out soon enough," Sylia muses, then looks up. "Oh, my, look who else came out to the hustings." Everyone looks to see Shildy and Ryooko descend to the pool level. "Ryooko-chan, Shildy-san, hi!!" Asuka waves. Both wave back. Ryooko's eyes widen in disbelief on seeing all the unclothed flesh, then stares at Shinobu. "It's okay, Ryooko. No man is anywhere close to see your charms." "Besides, you brother's gonna hate it when he finds out that his 'sweet, innocent' sister is now among such decadent, fickle women who'd ravage her at a moment's notice!" Benten snickers. Ryooko blinks. "I never thought of that," she smiles, then opens her arms. "Shildy-san, do you mind?" "Of course," the first officer smiles as she undoes the obi. A moment later, both undressed women pull up lawn chairs. "Oh, my, everyone seems to be having a good time," Ryooko muses. "Poor Onii-chan wouldn't know what to do if he saw this." "He'd try to hit on everyone," Shinobu snorts. "Don't forget, Ryooko, he's always wanted to control everything around him. You should know that a lot better than me. But with these women, he wouldn't have a prayer in making them bow to him." "Which is why he fears Ataru so much," Ryooko muses, then feels her cheeks redden. "Everyone, please forgive me. I've never exposed myself like this to so many strangers." "Ryooko, you've very beautiful," Shildy smiles. "Everyone here will look at you, even the bonded ones. And they'll think you're very attractive. Even if you don't want to bond with anyone, they'll want to meet you, get to know you better, try to be your friend. Isn't that what you were lacking back in Tomobiki?" "You make your point well, Shildy," Ryooko nods. Shinobu, Sylia, Benten and Priss exchange surprised looks, then psi-link. <> Priss muses. <> Shinobu hums. <> Benten winks. <> Sylia smiles. <> Priss nods. The four suppress their smiles as everyone relaxes. Overhead, special lights emit a healthy dose of UV rays to ensure proper skin development, as well as giving everyone a tan without burning them. Other people come up to join them, including Feb, April, May, Jun, Janny and Negau. "We haven't seen you around, Lieutenant," Sylia smiles as everyone pulls up chairs to form a circle. "I've been busy composing a detailed report to my government about your people, Sylia-san," Negau smiles, blushing. "I'm so sorry, everyone. I feel so exposed being like this." "It's alright, Negau; Ryooko feels the same way," Shinobu indicates her friend. "I trust your report'll be factual, Negau-san," Ryooko smiles. "It will be. How it's accepted in Onishuto is another problem," Negau nods. "You see, the official government policy is that Earth can decide what it wants to do with itself. However, we on Uru...all of us in the Galactic Federation...would like it if Earth joined us when they're technologically capable of doing so. The 'invasion' of two years ago was actually a feint to convince our enemies that we would invade Earth if they tried to invade." "So that's why you gave us the chance to prove ourselves with the Tag Race," Shinobu nods understandingly. "Yes. I think we really lucked out with our choice for Earth tag champion," Negau smiles as everyone laughs. "However, I should warn you that there are elements in my government who would love to invade your planet. They don't like the Sagussans and might try to do everything possible to disrupt relations between your planets, even try to instigate a war." "I know about the Imperials like Rei's uncle," Shinobu nods. "It's awful. Why do you people put up to those slime?" "We have no choice...for now," Negau shrugs. "Until we find some way to work them out of our government, we'll just have to tolerate them. Don't worry, they don't have a member in the Tribal Council though they're pretty heavy in the bureaucracy and THAT has to answer to the President and the Tribal Council." "Let's hope they don't do anything stupid," Shinobu sighs. Everyone nods. Asuka notices that Feb and April share a love chair, as do May and Jun. Negau and Janny have lawn chairs. "Janny-san, Negau-san, aren't you bonded?" she wonders. Both jerk surprisedly at that sudden question. "N-no, Asuka- chan!" the former flushes, waving her hands. "We're just friends!" "But I've saw you last night together in the library," Asuka adds, not realizing how much embarrassment she was provoking. Janny wishes she could crawl under the pool deck. "I was just helping her with her report...!!" "Janny, tag my horn." Janny jolts, then hesitantly turns to see Negau gazing warmly at her. "N-n-negau...?!" "Janny-chan, there's a reason I asked you to help me," the Oni smiles, her own cheeks flushing. "I want you to tag my horn." Janny gapes in disbelief at her, then stares at her shipmates. Feb and April nod approvingly, May gives her a thumbs-up and Jun's normally expressionless face shifts into a very warm smile that seemed so alien. Suppressing a gulp, she then turns back to Negau. "I came here to learn more about your people," the Oni sighs. "And I found someone I want to love. Will you love me back?" Janny blinks, then shudders as painful indecision seizes her. Yeah, she thought Negau was very cute, but never expected something like this right out of the blue. Negau laughs, then leans up and swamps her with a kiss. Hearts appear in Janny's eyes as her hands automatically land on the Oni's lone horn. "Alright!!" Priss whoops as everyone applauds Sagussa's newest couple. Janny and Negau part, both smiling at each other. Seeing their happiness, everyone cuddles up with their bond-mate. Asuka holds her hands together as she silently wishes them the best. Ryooko smiles on seeing two people discover happiness...then jolts as a slender hand gently grasps hers. She then turns to see Shildy gazing warmly at her, a light smile on her face. "Sh-shildy-san...you desire me, don't you?" Everyone turns to the two. Shildy nods. "If you'll have me. Besides, do you actually think you're willing to spend the rest of your life with that nomad Tobimaro?" Ryooko looks down, gazing at their hands. Try as she might, she couldn't summon the will to pull hers away. Last night, they had spent a quiet evening dining in the cafeteria, then gazing at the stars from the "Hasei'cha's" observation gallery. Shildy had treated her with kindness and patience, allowing the younger Mendou the chance to feel right at home. And all that was because she wanted Ryooko as her bond-mate?! For the first time, Ryooko had been totally fooled by someone else. That warmed her like nothing in the universe ever could. And Shildy was right about Tobimaro. Even now, Ryooko couldn't stomach the idea of marrying him. "Of course not," she smiles. Shildy leans up. Her kiss is tender and chaste, a visual sign of her allowing Ryooko the chance to decide for herself. That was an even more pleasant thought. She then gazes at Shinobu. "You won't regret a moment of it," Ataru's former girlfriend smiles. To Benten. "The lady has good taste in women, Ryooko-chan. Look who she wants?" she points right at the younger Mendou. To Asuka. "Be happy, Ryooko-chan." Back to Shildy. "And think of this," the first officer muses. "When your brother learns that his sweet, innocent sister has been seduced by one of Ataru Moroboshi's harem girls..." "He'll be so enraged!" Ryooko shudders, finding that this time, she didn't fear her brother's reaction. Ataru was already moving to limit the damage. She then gazes at Shildy. "Shildy- chan, are you sure you want a manipulative person like me?" "Hmmm...let me think it over." Ryooko is then swamped by the most powerful kiss she had ever received from anyone! "Sh-shildy-san...!!" she stammers, the force of the first officer's passions overwhelming her. "I thought it over," Shildy nods. That makes Ryooko thirst for more. "C'mere!!!" Everyone hoots as the two continue to kiss. "Ladies." Shildy and Ryooko see Eluza standing behind them, an open love chair at her feet waiting for a couple to occupy it. "Your chariot awaits," the shipmistress smiles, waving dramatically. Shildy and Ryooko laugh as they stand up, moving the lawn chairs aside so they could share the love chair. Eluza wishes them well, then heads off to join Pony. By this time, Janny and Negau have acquired another love chair. Sylia smiles at them, then holds out her hand. "Priss." "Aw!!" the coxswain stands, walking over to reach into her trouser pockets to pull out a gold coin, then flicks it at her commanding officer. "Good bet!" Sylia catches it. "Sylia-san, Priscilla-san, I'm shocked!!" Ryooko exclaims, placing fists on her hips. "You actually wagered on when Shildy-chan and I would launch our relationship?!" "Actually, Shi-chan here made the guess that you'll decide to do it by tonight," Sylia squeezes her bond-mate's hand. "Well, I hope it was a good wager," Ryooko smiles. "One pyogh," Sylia holds up the coin. "Roughly equivalent value in Japan today...about six hundred thousand yen." "One...pyogh?" Ryooko blinks. Six hundred thousand yen was quite a bit to be the equivalent of one Sagussan coin. "It's a lady's bet," Shildy smiles. "When two people in America make a gentlemen's bet, they wager one dollar. On Sagussa, when we make a lady's bet, it's one pyogh so that the loser doesn't hurt so much when the winner collects. Especially if it's two Pathfinders on the same troop." "I see," Ryooko smiles, then gazes at her. "So...care to make Sylia-san and Shinobu-san really earn their money?" "Let's!" Shildy rises. "Excuse us, please." Everyone laughs as the two walk away to get dressed and head somewhere private. "Good for them!" Asuka smiles, then blinks as someone else comes down. "Atako-chan!! Hi!" Atako blinks, then waves as she walks up. "Hello, Asuka-san. Are you enjoying your stay with us?" "Oh, yes!" Asuka rises. "You want to go swimming?!" "Sure!" Atako nods. "Just let me get undressed." A moment later, they walk to the deep end of the pool holding hands as they excitedly chatter about events. Everyone watches them go. "So that's who's android she spent time with last night," Feb smiles knowingly. "It seems Mendou will be losing someone else other than his sister when it's all said and done." "No great loss," Benten snorts. "Guys," Priss gives everyone else a warning stare. "We watch over those two, okay?!" Everyone nods... * * * On Phentax Twenty-three, the guards watching over Lum and Noa blink confusedly as they hear them chatting away...in the powerful cadence of Sagussa's native tongue. Since Lum was already versed in Zephyrite, it took Noa a few seconds to get the Oni psionically prepped to make use of her new language in all its dialects. To better spoof the listeners, the two switch from Tere'na accent to Kyre'sha to Ly'sha at a whim. Of course, no one ever thought of providing a universal translator equipped to deal with Zephyrite; all they get out of the computer is hash. "Damn, what're they saying?!" a Buddy Holly-wanna be wonders. "I can't pick heads or tails of that!" a Greta Garbo-wanna be grumbles. "How long has that witch known the Maidens?! A week?!" "Sounds like a decade, maybe more!" the first guard snorts. Gaylan limps in along with his chief assistant, Suisei. They nod to their friends, then stop by the barrier. The colonel listens, then snorts. Even he couldn't make three-quarters of that. "You ladies care to speak in something we could better understand?!" he growls. Noa gazes neutrally at him. "Igh do'nugh?" "I do understand that...I think!" the colonel sneers. "Since you don't want to play our game, let me show you what happens to those who displease us! Suisei!" She turns away. A second later, a bloodied and battered form dressed in a white shirt and form-fitting pants is thrown into the cell. Lum and Noa cry out in shock as they leap clear of the body. "Think about it!" Gaylan sneers as he walks away. "Noa, aghya, igh kumgh'nugh?!" Lum wonders. Noa kneels down, rolling him over, then her eyes widen as she recognizes their guest. "Aghya, Lynamei'na!!" "Koosei...!" Lum shudders, her strength fading. "Hi, Mommy..." the Terran wander moans, his brown eyes staring blankly into space. "I'm home..." * * * To be continued...^Z
