"Kokoro really was a fool…I almost feel sorry."
Genghis is in the mood to celebrate but quietly snickers through the Titer compound while planning his words so he can share the news with Getou. He passes through a crowded, windowless but well-lit room and heads towards the meridian bunker. Nearly all of the clansmen and women bow to his presence and submit their trust as he cheerfully ambulates through their earthy corridors.
"Master Genghis..."
"Good morning, Master Genghis!"
Temujin smiles and acknowledges every Titer surrounding him and remarks one of their oldest sayings.
"Hello everyone, time is all."
He enjoys the gestured acclaim knowing full well this position being his was long overdue and the best part is, the Titers voted him in. He was chosen.
After scanning over the room though, Genghis becomes momentarily sidetracked as his first turbulent encounter ensues. The young Titer that loyally served Mugoi appears in front of him, blocking Genghis's direct path.
'Now to reform these loose ends…'
Temujin assess the young man's despair and tactfully translates that into action.
"You there, what is your name?"
Genghis sees the hatred in the young man's face.
"I-Itgeltei."
Initially, this is all the young man offers while still trying to remain fearless in front of the now most masterful man of the clan. He tucks some of his chin-length black hair behind his ear but focuses his deep brown eyes to feign revenge.
"Itgeltei Baidal."
Genghis smirks to the spiteful response; understanding that the poor wretch has lost his own mentor and is raging with emotions. Any Titer would feel lost since there is so much purpose and responsibility for them to bear. Who else would or even could protect this dimension?
"Baidal...you can come with me now, there is still much work to be done."
He motions for the young Titer to follow him but the single energized stomp in response makes him halt his resumed stance.
"YOU KILLED MASTER KOKORO!"
Baidal surges his greyish-green energy and aims it at Genghis with tear filled eyes.
"…and my SISTER!"
Baidal's shaking limbs continue to quake as he takes a deep breath and prepares to at least injure the newly appointed head before being killed himself.
"YOU…YOU HAVE TO PAY!"
Temujin gracefully folds his arms where the sleeves of his robes look perfectly positioned.
"I see."
Without lifting a finger, Genghis uses his presence to forcefully suffocate the young man who is now clear with regret.
"I certainly did not kill Mugoi or Okhin, that was the enemy."
The fear pricks its way to the surface as the young Titer now seems to recognize exactly how unmatched he is and this entertains Genghis.
"See, I never inherited the ancient techniques but I'm the top dog now for a reason…"
Genghis slowly approaches while Baidal chokes, surely feeling compressed as he opens his mouth to breathe but is unable to suction in any air.
"…I have learned other ways to instill my goals."
After reaching the young Titer, he looks around to all of the surveyors that have collapsed, also winded with horror.
"YOU ALL UNDERSTAND WHO IS IN CHARGE NOW, RIGHT?! DO YOU ALSO UNDERSTAND WHY?!"
Genghis darts his eyes back to Baidal who's face has since turned red and puffed from the lack of oxygen; continuing to struggle.
A woman near the door gasps for air.
"Yes! We...do...Master Genghis!"
All of the Titers before him that are able to drop to the floor and offer an extensive bow.
"Alright then!"
Genghis grins, releases the young Titer and then watches him crash to his knees, gasping. He kneels down before Baidal and holds out a hand.
"If you're willing to redirect your hatred to the right place, you can still serve your clan to the upmost, Baidal."
When that hand is swatted away however, Genghis comprehends that the resentful Titer will need time to decide his own fate.
"If you cannot however, you serve no purpose at all. Consider my offer if you wish to still serve Master Suguru."
Genghis then turns to continue his path to Getou before Baidal felt rash enough to do something hasty. Temujin does not wanting a scene to erupt with so many witnesses present.
After Genghis leaves that corridor, Baidal hunts the room for any indication that he had supporters on the matter but feels completely alone when everyone looks down or simply continues with their business.
'He may be powerful but he needs to be stopped. Since when do the ends justify the means?'
Baidal's frustration peaks as he's still trying to regain his breath and was left to fend for himself; also, Genghis could have crushed him if he wanted to. Beneath his heaving he mutters the words that would have caused him death had they been heard.
"Genghis wasn't supposed to be able to return. How did he do it?!"
Being Kokoro's understudy allowed Baidal to be privy of Genghis's past and the transparency of Temujin being sent by Mugoi to Gojo for death only to be restored by the protective technique and then become banished from this entire dimension. The point of being sent to that particular place had everything to do with the Titer's foresight of the bridge connecting the two worlds being destroyed by Satoru.
'I have to find allies…'
There was never any love between himself and Getou, due to Kokoro himself, but Baidal also wholeheartedly views Suguru as their long-awaited, truest leader.
'What does he have planned for Master Suguru?'
With his anxieties feeling all too real to ignore, the young Titer considers a friend who he knows to be arriving today and plans to ask for allegiance.
---------------------
Genghis is back to his excited mood as he basks in the sensation of Kokoro's lack of existence freeing his very soul.
'Mugoi was a mediocre man and never should have been given this role.'
It's funny because although Kokoro's fate wasn't the exact future he saw, Teujin knew Mugoi was likely to expire at the hands of Shaman Slayer.
"I do admire this Toji Fushiguro's strength; he will certainly give us another edge until his time comes as well."
He pretends to be kind when more Titers bow until he passes; the red clay-made walls and chilling air signifying his descent into the compound.
"Now we just have to work on Suguru and the girl…"
Genghis's modest eerily grin splits with teeth.
'She's truly perfect. What she's capable of…what she'll catalyze...'
Genghis has yet to reveal all of his plans to Getou but will do so when he feels the time is right and not a moment sooner; for good reason.
'So much to do, so little time.'
Upon turning the corner towards Getou's quarters though, Temujin senses the stark gravitational presence.
"Such a grown child…"
Hurriedly, he runs towards the door with apprehension since he personally sent some of the help to assist Suguru.
Getou is furiously releasing his gravity manipulation throughout the room, yelling as he pins weaker Titers that were only there to serve him.
"What am I supposed to do with THAT?!"
In pure fury, Getou demands and answer from one of the servants as he points to the shattered bowl with water spilled all around it.
"She's…SHE IS DISGUSTING!!!"
The three servants cry out unanimously as his fit continues but Getou purposefully doesn't kill any of them; he only wants to terrorize. He glares to a younger male Titer who is already crying.
"You really suggest that I should just accept this SHIT?! THAT I DESERVE THIS?! She's tainted! RAN THROUGH!"
Genghis bursts through the door and uses his crippling presence to counter the waves of gravity.
"SUGURU! STOP THIS AT ONCE!"
The oxygen seems to siphon from the room and become replaced with lung crushing pressure that alarms Getou into repurposing his attention.
"RELEASE THEM!"
Suguru faces his mentor and reluctantly quells his technique, allowing the three pinned servants to scurry away through the door behind Genghis.
"I wasn't going to hurt them…but I may hurt bird bitch. You cannot SERIOUSLY expect me to want her."
Getou now sits to the chair beside him and lets his hair down knowing he made a mess of it.
'At least Fushiguro fucked them up…'
"What on Earth happened in the small number of hours I've left you, little one?"
Genghis sees the shattered bowl and immediately understands that Getou saw something he didn't like. After taking in the state of the room and all of the different craters formed about, Genghis irritably sums the childish behavior in his own mind.
'We're lucky this part of the structure didn't collapse…'
"I will not have Elska Oda as my wife!"
Getou huffs. He seethes at the images in his brain that depicted Elska, Naoya and Gojo sharing sexual relations.
"She is not suited to be ANYONE'S wife!"
He accidentally snaps his hair band apart while trying to put his hair back up and becomes further infuriated. After grinding his teeth together, he tosses the useless hair tool across the room before running his hands through his long black hair. He sees Genghis nearing him and tries to recollect himself so he doesn't seem immature but he's haunted by the still frames shown.
'Why the fuck did I have to see that?'
"What happened little one? What is SO bad that you feel you can justify this tantrum?"
Genghis needs his words to cut but not in a way that will dislodge Getou further. He understands that sometimes the young leader may simply need a parental figure and is attempting to gratify this part of Suguru.
"She…"
Suguru takes a second to swallow down his metaphorical vomit.
"…she was getting railed by Zenin and Gojo."
His fists clench reflexively at the thought of Gojo enjoying himself, living care free; it wrenches his intestines together. There's a lack of response from Genghis though so Getou lowers his voice to exact his reasoning.
"She fucks everyone."
Suguru can't even help himself mid-explanation and cackles in annoyance.
"Everyone but me that is."
Getou remembers Elska's glare when he left the room they held her in at the base and it sends needles into his throat.
"I knew Zenin was oddly territorial with her but I never would've guessed this debauchery. Naoya never seemed like the type to share and he hates Gojo too…or so I thought."
Getou reels over the loss of his cohorts once again. He's no longer alone but it doesn't really feel like it when he considers all the betrayal he's met.
Genghis knows Suguru is expecting him to be riddled with disgust over Elska's habits as well but he simply isn't. There is not anything that could upset him now since he feels all said was confirmation of Suguru's jealousy, whether Getou knows it or not.
'Maybe there is hope for us after all…'
Temujin lets a few seconds pass to simulate that of someone who severely cares for emotional conversation. Genghis loves Suguru like a son but he also loves the grandiose plans for their clan and is on a mission of sorts that he must succeed. With a small sigh he brings a chair and places it opposite of Getou and sits down.
"Look little one, are you sure tha-…"
"GOJO WAS INSIDE OF HER WHILE SHE WAS GAGGING ON ZENIN!"
Getou almost doesn't catch himself in time to control the surging energy flowing through him.
'Fucking Gojo…of all people.'
"Hmmm…"
Genghis offers this while he thinks of how to diffuse this situation.
"HMMM??!!!"
Suguru mocks and then hollers.
"What the FUCK kind of response is that?! DID YOU NOT HEAR WHAT I SAID?! SHE IS A WHORE!"
Suguru catches the glint of anger that flashes across his mentor's eyes and decides to calm down. It's a matter of respect.
Genghis raises an eyebrow at how perceptive Getou can be at times although he needs to learn to be like that always.
"I can see why that would bother you…"
Getou scoffs and shifts his body to face a different direction.
"Oda's nature…it's solidified but ever changing it would seem. We may not have the time we originally thought."
Suguru looks back to him now as he's obviously curious as to what that could mean but Genghis saves the best piece for himself.
'She's already creating a small but powerful army.'
"What is that you know, Master?"
Getou's back to his collected demeanor and is eager to understand what could cause Genghis to seem so causal on the ordeal. He looks around the destroyed room and feels slightly embarrassed, especially if there's some kind of explanation.
"Little one, when she drinks from the hybrid, his unique curse blood fuels her own. This is what I was trying to elucidate to you before."
Genghis checks to make sure he has Getou's undivided attention. When he's satisfied by his pupil practically hanging on the edge of his seat, he continues.
"She has awakened to a small degree and with her kind, that means a growing appetite for many new things and less inhibiting emotions in exchange."
Getou's eyes narrow in response but Genghis proceeds.
"When we get her here, you'll have to sate her needs little one so it's best you understand now."
He's anticipating a rebuttal but it doesn't arrive. Genghis feels relief as the worst-case scenario leaks into his mind.
'Good, because if you don't, I will have to…and that may cause some problems...'
Getou is still mildly confused but understands enough to gather that he'll have to feed and fuck her.
"I've already tried that Master Genghis, it didn't work."
Suguru's thoughts take to the last time he saw Elska, while he was working his way in.
"You stabbed her, broke her wings and then forced yourself between her legs… let's understand the difference here, Suguru…"
Genghis shakes his head as he didn't want to be so blunt but at the same time, there's no room for error there; Getou must comprehend that.
"And she called out for Naoya when I did it!"
Getou's patience are being tried at this point. He knows he was wrong in his approach and even with his brutal nature but is also hesitant to express anything in regards to the scent that provoked him.
Genghis interrupts the pity party.
"Because she's afraid of you Suguru…and rightfully so! Of course she would revert to another man who has treated her significantly better than yourself."
He softens his eyes for his pupil for just a moment and prepares his lies.
"I could never imagine expecting any other outcome. I've never even thought to do something like that to a woman."
Getou exhales heavily and turns his gaze to the shattered bowl.
"I still don't understand why she's fucking everyone…"
He loses himself in those same grotesque images again and runs his finger along his scarred cheek. His eyes widen as he's suddenly remembering the aftermath.
"Toji attacked Gojo and Naoya though so I'm guessing Kokoro succeeded?!!"
Genghis decides to hold off of the details about Elska and Toji following the incident but smiles to her ways as he watched them that day, all of it and from afar.
'Elska Oda really is getting her fill though…'
Temujin then tilts his head upwards and tries to hold his happiness inside as he delivers Mugoi's fate.
"Kokoro perished by the hands of Fushiguro…and Oda."
Upon hearing of Mugoi's death a small smirk appears initially but then Suguru's overcome with the fact that he'd always planned on taking out Kokoro himself. He hopes the bastard can return just to die again.
"How can he be dead? Isn't he under the same revival technique?"
Genghis allows his grin to sneak through after seeing Getou's reaction, knowing they're both pretty glad the fuckers gone.
"Yes well, they didn't use any energized techniques to kill him."
Getou's eyes widen with surprise.
"Yep! they merely utilized that nature of theirs. If he were killed with a cursed ability, yes, we could have reversed that but that simply isn't the case here."
Genghis chuckles lowly.
"I told him to be extremely cautious but he ultimately underestimated this Toji gravely. To be fair though, I wasn't expecting the girl to behave as she did. Lady Oda single-highhandedly killed Okhin with her bare hands as well and let me tell you Little One…"
Temujin has to bury the drastic desires the scene pulled from him as he relives Okhin's last moments in great detail.
"Our poor trainee should have heeded my advice too. I warned her to not set Oda off in any way but Okhin was unable to divide her pride when faced with the prize. It's a shame because she did not have to suffer the way she did but Mugoi certainly had a way of creating shit subordinates. Every moment she was left alive to scream and plead while flesh was torn from her body is completely on Kokoro. They're both underwhelming but he's left me quite the disciplinary mess..."
Getou catches on to his master's amusement and it rubs him as odd.
"You said the outcome would benefit me…did you know this would happen?"
'Okhin, too? What about her brother?'
Getou barely knew the Titer woman but was aware of her loyalty to himself and their cause so gratitude is all he tastes once learning that she lost her life.
"I did know."
Genghis leans toward being honest about this bit at least. He waits to gauge Getou's response and becomes eased when he can tell that his preemptive knowledge won't be met with hostility.
"Mugoi wasn't a very good man and he had no business leading this clan. His strategies were half-baked and his desires to lead were misplaced. He ruled with disregard."
"I never did like him…I actually hated that fucker and owed him for Kechi and Eso…"
Getou sighs as there's yet another thing to be grateful to Elska for.
"Serves him right. I hope his last breaths were full of fear."
Getou ponders on Elska's mysterious existence and wonders what else he may not know about her.
'I wonder how she did it?'
He thought he was well informed before but it's become obvious that, that's not the case at all.
Genghis smiles genuinely as he proceeds the conversation to nourish the seed he's planted.
"So…you were watching her, were you?"
He gives a playful shove to Suguru who has since stiffened.
"You can't hide the fact that you're interested in her…I can already tell."
Getou's expression becomes deadpanned at his mentor's words because he's self-conscious about the truth in the statement since he's not really sure as to when she caught his attention in this way nor why. He looks back at the shattered bowl and attempts to redeem himself.
"I was just seeing if there were any tactics I could formulate based on their own."
He feels another light shove and it becomes clear that Genghis isn't buying it.
'Why is she so important to even him?'
Suguru sighs in frustration.
"Yes, okay? I was watching her…although I heavily fucking regret it now. I want to scoop out my eyes."
"Be honest with me, Little One...I won't speak of it ever again but tell me...do you want Elska Oda?"
Suguru doesn't exactly respond but the sheer fact that he exude another outburst is a damn good sign.
Genghis releases a loud cheer into the room.
"ALRIGHT!"
He pats the startled Getou on the shoulder.
"This is great little one! You shall have her then!"
He can barely control his pride as he knows this step was imperative to conquer.
"We will have to secure her before the Elders try to do the same."
Getou wants to ask about the Elders' hand in this urgency but figures it pertains to the other clans such as the Zenin also aiming for a similar goal. His brain switches over to the tactician.
"It sounds dull but I think we should draw them in and crush all of their shaman at once."
This time when preparing her quarters, Suguru would take a note from Naoya and make sure she can at least be impressed by the offer.
'Would it really make that much of a difference though? Could a few amenities overwrite what I've done?'
He's unsure of what lies ahead because of what's occurred in the past.
Genghis leans forward with approval.
"That is a wise idea but we should bait them first."
The faux head smiles maliciously.
"I think we should take your lover first and give them a location. That will ensure their rallying."
Getou blushes against his own will when Elska's referred to as his lover and tries to mask it with haste.
"Whatever, that's fine. I need to prepare an area for her though..."
Suguru stands up, cloaked in agitation as he worries about what could suddenly be wrong with him.
Why…am I feeling so…awkward?'
"Don't be ridiculous, you only need to prepare another room for yourself."
Genghis can't believe that he's having to hold his pupil's hand through this but laughs to the apprehension painted on Suguru's face.
"Little One, she's going to be staying with you."
—————————————
"Cho, how do you know this? ARE THEY NEARBY?"
Naoya knows Choso is extremely fine tuned when it comes to sensing other techniques, primarily the Titers for having worked around them for so long. The Zenin continues looking around to silently ask everyone to be on their guard.
Choso doesn't remove the box from his pocket. He keeps his fingers wrapped around it though and tries to figure out a way to communicate that won't bring them to a disadvantage. His stillness unnerves everyone but Toji tries to calm the room, understanding there's a purpose the being's silence. Choso decides to try something. After standing, he uses his right hand to point at his pocket and while still holding the box inside of there, he flicks it a few times with his finger, creating sound.
Gojo is the first to catch on and decides to give it a code name.
"The bento box!"
He smiles to Choso's relieved nod and turns to face everyone.
"Do you remember the yellow fish delivery we received earlier?"
Toji scrunches his face but then the connection is made.
"Yeah, what about it you fruit?"
"I believe that Choso's saying he can tell by the bento box it came in that we're being reviewed."
Elska now seems to get it as well.
"Baby? When did you guys eat yellow fish?!"
Naoya approaches her with a coy smile as the remaining members in the room sigh in frustration, thinking he was too dense to comprehend. Megumi scoffs being out of the loop and apparently feels ashamed of Naoya's gestures. When within arm's reach, the Zenin snags Elska by the hip and kisses her cheek, whispering.
"We will protect you princess."
He feels her pull away only enough to look into his eyes and knows she trusts him; it's written all over her face and nothing could make him happier.
Elska is lost in Naoya's warm expression until a realization hits her.
"Does…does that mean they saw…everything?"
She becomes completely uncomfortable at the thought and welcomes Naoya's arms as they wrap around her fully this time. While burying her face into his chest, she can feel the bass from his voice as he awkwardly laughs above her.
"Well at least it was worth watching…I can attest to that!"
Gojo's eyes brighten as he recalls the three of them on the bed.
'It was…perfection.'
Nanami sends narrow eyes over to him which Satoru can feel instantly so against his rowdier judgment, he decides to leave it at that.
Toji scoffs and curls his lips at Gojo.
"You're the fucking worst, you do know that, right?"
He's never been able to stand Satoru's need to gloat about everything, especially when it comes to Elska.
"Oh…but she loves it…"
Gojo warps himself behind Elska and ruts his pelvis into her.
Naoya uses his projection technique to pull her away.
"You're too fucking much Gojo, don't expect that shit to happen again."
He actually really enjoyed the threesome for the most part but sees now that he stoked an already heated fire within Satoru by participating.
'This guy is not right in the head!'
"Sati! Why would you do that in front of everyone?!"
Even feeling the slightest bit of Naoya's technique first hand like that has Elska stumbling and collecting herself after being moved with such speed.
'Did Sati seriously just hump me?'
Nanami yells Satoru with absolute disapproval and has Megumi right beside him with that same agitation.
Choso loses himself in thought after hearing Gojo's mischievous giggles.
'Do they know that this connects their energy to us? I can tell when they're spying…'
He twirls the box within his fingertips in his pocket as he tries to formulate an explanation as to why the Titers left it behind if this was a genuine fact. He glances back over to Toji now.
'Is he really fine? What did this do to him?'
Choso's eyes now take to Megumi and his heart sinks knowing that they've only just begun their father and son relationship officially. The being doesn't want to see anything come between that either.
'I have to figure this out before it's too late.'
He still hears the voices of everyone else but doesn't register that his name is being called. The surging energy from the box has also ceased but his concerns blocked everything out for a bit there. Once he realizes that they're safe, he lets everyone else know.
"I think they're done for now…"
Toji sighs.
"Thank god, those fucking creeps have nothing better to than to use ourselves against us I guess."
Naoya and Elska both relax into each other knowing they can move more freely now. Naoya smiles at her but then continues what they were originally talking about.
"I'll get you some sweets baby!"
He now turns to Choso who is still in his own mind.
"Cho?"
Naoya is waving at his friend.
"Does that sound alright to you?"
Elska chimes in.
"I swear I won't bite you again!"
But she's soon looking around shamefully.
"Although I am due for a feed soon…"
Naoya gasps with dramatics.
"Well I'll stay too!"
He's weary of her feeding from Choso for many reasons, his personal ones at the forefront though.
Toji huffs with his glare bouncing between Naoya and Gojo.
"I think you two should make yourselves scarce when we get back. You guys have had enough today."
Gojo wants to say something smart to rile Toji up but decides that maybe that wasn't such a huge demand so he whines and looks to Naoya.
"Let Toji feed her tonight…"
He kicks at nothing to display his disappointment but knows that he owes the giant at least this much.
Naoya grabs her hands now and looks down to her with his weak protest.
"Baaaby…"
But then sighs as he can understand where Gojo is coming from.
"Okay…but tomorrow you feed from me!"
The Zenin smiles gleefully as he secures one of his favorite past times. Of course, he enjoys the feeling her bite surges through him but more than anything else, he loves how much she enjoys drinking from him. It certainly makes Naoya feel needed and with all of the testosterone surrounding her now, he appreciates the affirmations he receives from her, this one especially.
'If only I had my own fangs…'
"If she drinks too much of you boy, she'll get fucking cavities."
Toji laughs to his own joke though as he meant nothing foul by it, he's actually surprised he didn't receive more resistance from either of them on the matter of feeding.
"What are you guys about to go do?"
Choso now feels he missed something important.
Elska and Gojo chuckle at the fact that Choso indeed tuned them all out moments ago but she informs him.
"They're going on a food run while you stay with me, if that's alright!"
Elska smiles and continues.
"You can take a shower too if you want, I won't leave the room but you'll still have privacy in there."
She walks over to the bathroom and pulls out a fresh towel from a neat stack that lays on iron shelving next to the tub.
Gojo's tries to make a light joke but his insecurities shine through the humorous veil.
"And bro, make sure you're dressed when you leave the bathroom. I saw what you're hiding underneath those clothes, you thick ass stallion!"
Choso recalls Gojo complimenting his body before and becomes anxious over the accusations being launched so he quickly defends himself.
"Elska! I promise I would never try to do anything s-sexy to you!"
"Cho!"
The being hears Gojo roar into laughter and anchors his eyebrows in a way to show the silver shaman that he's been teased enough for one day.
Megumi makes his quiet presence known once more as he's only just calmed down after seeing his sensei hump her and now there's the feeding.
"God...I would hope not."
The junior shaman turns his nose up and condemns them while leaving for the door with Nanami.
"GIVE HER SOME SPACE."
"Doll, I'll be right back alright?"
Toji grins when she nods in anticipation and he can sense that Elska's as eager to feed from him as he is to feed her.
"Umm…I will be back too, don't forget that part old man!"
Naoya finally releases his hands from Elska as he forces himself away and towards the door.
"Be right back baby!"
He blows her a kiss from the doorway but waits impatiently for Gojo to make his exit.
Gojo now grabs her hands and with a serious eyes, plants a light kiss to her lips.
"Love, just be careful and wait for Toji. We will back after you have some time with him to feed."
He smiles sweetly, coveting his love like the delicate flower she is.
"Don't bite Choso in case it's related to that other you, okay?"
He kisses her on the forehead gently before stepping back and taking in her comfortable appearance before orienting towards the being.
"If anything happens make a portal to Naoya but we should be back really soon.
Choso nods and is glad that there was reiteration over him being the source of her nourishment.
'Gojo is far more intelligent than he typically lets on.'
After everyone leaves the room, the awkward silence engulfs them. The being averts his nervous eyes away from Elska and dutifully takes a step towards the bathroom.
"I uhh…I will take a shower now."
"Wait! There's a trick!"
Elska rushes past the door before he can close it in order to reach the faucet. The temperature designated knobs are actually reversed so she wanted to save Choso from falling victim to ignorance's cruelty. Once adjusted, she stands up in the small space and reads his unease.
"Now, you're all set!"
Choso feels the steam taking root and is ready to wash the day away.
"I tend to take lengthy showers so please do not be alarmed by this."
Elska giggles under her breath while turning the exhaust fan on but before she shuts the door behind her she stops and kindly offers.
"That's totally fine. Take as long as you want and relax a bit."
As he undresses, Choso takes each article of clothing and folds his new pajamas neatly on the counter so he can put them back on once finished. For a moment though, he freezes as this doesn't make sense; how can he watch her while he bathes?
'Oh, they were way ahead of me with this one…'
Choso tiredly forms his observer window, focuses it on Elska and leaves the curtain parted so he can check it from time to time.
Elska isn't sure why but as soon as the words relax a bit left her, she felt the urge to do so herself. "Well…he did say he takes long showers…and they're no longer watching us…"
Elska walks over to Choso's unintentional gift. After grabbing it, she cautiously makes her way back to the bed, drops her new ace sweatpants to the floor and lays on her back. Her mind brings her back to the best moments of Naoya and Satoru taking her and becomes flooded with arousal.
"That really was…amazing."
Her nimble fingers press the tiny rubber button located on the bottom of the little pink mouse and jumps with excitement when it turns on and gleams to its vibrating properties.
'Wow! This shouldn't take much time at all!'
The thought of Naoya extracting her pheromones and orgasms while Satoru fills her mouth sends a sensation between her thighs before the vibrator ever even reaches its target. She self consciously listens for any sudden movement in the bathroom, wondering why she was really about to do this right now.
'I just feel like I need to…'
It doesn't make any sense though and Elska's having to force herself to ignore the fact that she's seen plenty of action for one day. Once the silicone bullet reaches her clitoris though, her body tenses up from the sensations it sends through her and she quietly gasps with a wide open smile. There's no turning back.
Choso is rinsing his hair; enjoying the scented products that fall and mix into the water.
'How does my hair feel this smooth after just shampoo?!'
He's amazed and feeling anew. After applying the thick conditioner which is equally impressive, he decides to read the ingredients from the bottle located at the other end of the tub like he would have any clue as to what they are. When he grabs it, Choso turns to check his observer window to make sure everything is alright.
"Oh my…"
The being's dark brown eyes are wide and the shock from what he's seeing steals his attention until the shampoo bottle slips from his hand and plows into the top of his foot.
"OW!"
Elska hears the commotion and immediately closes her legs for cover. She was already pretty close to being done with this test drive but sets that aside and still calls out for reassurance.
"Chos…Choso? Are you alright in there?!"
Biting her lip, she sits up while carefully listening for a response.
"I uhhh…Yea!! I'm great! Just…umm...dropped something!"
Choso feels his heart pounding through him and when he looks down can see his chest beating right along with it.
'I should've just told her the truth! But I...I panicked!'
He stands at the end of the tub where the wonderful water barely touches him and breathlessly waits for a cue that she'd either come check on him or continue.
'Does she not know I'm observing her?'
The curious being watches her settle back into the bed but has failed to notice his erection until he wipes his face and brushes it when his arms unfold at the waist.
"Damn it…"
Choso's brow furrows.
"Think about Getou...be on guard..."
When Elska places the mouse back on her sensitive areas though, he can see the way her face twists in pleasure and discovers himself to be helpless. Shuddering, Choso begins to stoke his member as his human desires take over and submits to the wonderful sensations they send through him. Elska moans quietly but Choso is audibly attached to his window so he hears it; every little bit. He studies her placement of the toy and is surprised to see that it's used to for surface features rather than being for inside. He continues to pump his hand, gaining speed even while the steaming air threatens to stop his motions. Moaning, Choso whispers his epitome through small, quiet gasps.
"Women…they're such…beautiful creatures…"
Elska is working towards her climax but is also intermittently edging herself when she feels she's too close, not wanting to end the pleasure so soon. She thinks about how Toji always tries to stimulate her with his hands while he works himself into her and as if he were doing it in real time, it causes her toes to curl.
'Toji and this toy would be incredible…'
She pictures her beloved with his wings and fangs out, using his mass to pin her against the bed as he thrusts through her. In this fantasy, he would take his hand and hold the mouse down against her, make her endure the combining bliss while locking glowing eyes.
"Holy…oh…yes…"
Elska whines Toji's name underneath her breath as she feels her moisture gather. Her imagination changes his demeanor though and she's suddenly imaging him with smug expression from below.
"Doll, you're so fucking wet for me."
But the facade crumbles when she instantly realizes that would be much more of a Sweet Sati thing.
Choso is no longer even bathing but has opened the curtains further so he can still receive the warmth from the water as he continues towards his own relief. Every time her body arches or she whispers confirmation to how good she's feeling, his hand increases speed by itself.
'It's like a curse...'
He looks down to see how unbearably hard he is and sucks in his bottom lip as his vision takes back to the Observer window. His mind plagues him. He's never had a direct desire to fool around with Elska but despite this, she's always the subject of his carnal thoughts.
Choso knows this is all wrong too, that something about this whole predicament is completely off.
'Why do I do this?'
It doesn't seem to matter though as he imagines himself sitting between her knees, administering the mouse.
"Mmmm…"
He groans while thinking of her furrowing brow and flushed expression being the product of his placement. His hand grips his girth and he momentarily hisses to the building rise coursing through him. He whispers her name but to his own dismay, it feels so natural like he's done this before. The water falling down his back has become cooler but it doesn't deter him from this interesting experience.
Elska is now daydreaming about Satoru's aggressive behavior.
'He would most definitely use this mouse as a tool to dominate me.'
The image of him bending her over while making her hold it to herself nearly makes her unravel. He'd say all sorts of things that she'd never admit to enjoying but would lush in the moment all the same.
"Awww love, what's the matter? Can't handle it? Too deep?"
Elska would have to respond to him before he'd smack her ass…but maybe she would keep quiet on purpose. He'd likely grab her by the throat and raise her up from behind so he could hear her clearly as he spreads her from behind. She gasps to this and arches her body against the mattress, almost losing herself. Her eyes open widely though as she's sure he would attempt anal next but maybe she wouldn't necessarily fight him.
'If I ever tell him that I actually like it, he would try it all of the time though…'
And just like that, the idea of Gojo relentlessly trying to impale her in that manner threatens to kill her high.
Choso is all but minutes away from being spent. He's staring intently into the Observer's window and ignores her change in demeanor. Instead, he's now wondering about this taste that women provide. He still isn't sure you're supposed to lick them there but the probability of it being allowed makes him imagine how he would.
The expression on Elska's face is back to be pleasant though so maybe if he would take his tongue to the same spot where the mouse is located, he could cause this reaction too. His eyes peacefully close while he hastily rhythms with his hand but when she whimpers more aggressively, Choso's thoughts run wild and he imagines inserting himself into her. That was a mistake though because in this moment, he's releasing his contents all over himself and the tub with quivering knees.
Naoya's sweet but domineering nature saved the daydream. While reliving old memories of when she was his prisoner, she recalls the sexual tension that made her crave him even more. While envisioning them on their sides again, she smiles to the desperation felt that consumed her, the part that made her take him in his sleep.
"Oh…Naoyaaaaa…"
It really didn't matter what he would try with her, Elska would likely to allow him wantonly since she feels she can fully trust him in this realm. In her sexual dream however, he's given illuminating red eyes and golden wings. He would brush her hair aside and rock his hips while they lay there but he'd also lean down to pierce her neck.
"God pleeeeassee…"
Elska begs the universe in a hushed whisper to at least be able to simulate what her prince's fangs would feel like. Picturing Naoya's teeth sinking into her skin, how his lips would feel sealing the area, what his draw would pull from her; all of these fantasies unleash their demoralizing power at once. She cries out in real time and accidentally releases a wave of pheromones that lashes through the room.
Her legs tremble but feel numb but while she's focusing on that, the orgasm follows immediately after and its a hefty one.
She lies there panting, not having removed the mouse from her hand nor has she budged to change her position. Without moving too much, her eyes take to the extreme little mouse with with amazement all while her arousal slowly seeps out.
"This was actually a wonderful gift, Choso!"
She smiles and feels the cold chills that are result of her thin layer of sweat but when she goes to sit herself she finds that she doesn't have the energy to. Instead, she lounges as is with a mind that's clear and taking to the days to come.
It isn't until Elska hears shifting on the other side of the wall does she come back to reality.
"CHOSO! Oh no!"
She launches herself into a sitting position, unsure of how she could temporarily have forgotten that he was in the bathroom, only a few feet away. Tensely gathering herself, Elska screams when noticing that the main door is being pushed open and feels like she's being exposed from all angles.
"DON'T!"
She feels so ridiculous as she knew Toji's door no longer latches.
Choso hears her scream and although he's a mess he launches out of the shower.
"Elska! What's wrong?!"
At this same time, Toji stands in the doorway. First, he's instinctively inhaling the scent but is soon noticing Elska's position and eyes the mouse next her on the bed. The fact that she wasn't dressed on her lower half clearly gave it away if her pheromones and flushed expression hadn't.
"Doll? Need some help?"
The giant licks his lips and feels himself getting a little excited but its all but crushed when a wet and naked Choso barrels out of the bathroom door.
"What the f…CHOSO WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
Elska quickly covers herself before Choso has a chance to turn around but against her better judgment, she can't help but stare. His body is so refined and chiseled, his lower half...awkwardly just as impressive. She doesn't feel any desire to experience the being but she can still appreciate a good work of art and can't help but feel like she's seen him like this before.
'I haven't seen him naked before though, right??!!!'
When their eyes meet, Choso turns beet red and flails his hands in an attempt to shield everyone from his usually hidden parts.
"I-I-I thought something was wrong!"
"The fact that you're out here with your little curse swinging is the something that's wrong, buddy…"
Toji glares at the being and points his finger toward the door,
"Go get some fucking clothes on! And what the hell were you doing in there to still be bathing?!"
A realization hits the giant though, a hormonal one, and he growls at the possibility that Choso was relieving himself in his shower.
"How the fuck were you planning on protecting her if you were in there the entire time anyways?!"
Toji demands an explanation.
Choso looks away from Toji and to the floor, soon scurrying his eyes in every direction to sooth his racing mind.
"Well…I was watching her…I just multi-tasked."
He can feel Toji's presence immensely intensify and wonders if he should have just lied and apologized instead.
Elska folds over in the bed and curls up in embarrassment; too mortified to ask or even look at either of them.
'Does he mean…he watched me do that? With the MOUSE?!"
Naoya now walks through the door and is first greeted by the being's pale skin.
"CHO! WHAT THE FUCK!?"
He sees Elska hiding in the bed and after seeing his friend's bareness, he freaks out.
"WHAT DID YOU DO!?"
The Zenin runs to Elska who's actively deflecting any interaction so he assumes the worse.
"Baby! What happened?!"
He then sees the pink mouse on the bed and feels his left eye twitch. With thunderously rectifying intent, Naoya snatches it from beside her and charges Choso.
"YOU TRIED TO USE THIS ON HER?!"
"N-No! I d-did-n't! Sh-she-"
He watches the fear arise in Choso's horrified eyes when the being trips over his own feet to back up and luckily, even through his anger, Naoya grasps that he may have prematurely jumped to conclusions.
Elska understands this is taking a wrong turn so she sits up again.
"I used it on myself! Choso was just taking a shower and bolted out here when I screamed!"
Naoya stops now, being only about a foot away from Choso.
"Baby, what caused you to scream?"
The Zenin's amber eyes train to the toy with perplexity stitched into his features.
"Oh shit, is it really that good?'
Naoya's view now travels back to Elska where he quickly grins and jumps his brow to share his affinity to seeing it in action.
Choso's eyes meet it too and the being blushes further.
Toji is now pinching the bridge of his nose in aggravation to the endless web of miscommunication that spins between them.
"She screamed when I came through the door, boy, calm down."
He walks over to Naoya and steals the mouse.
"You guys need to scram for a few. She needs to feed and I'm tired of there being a God damn peanut gallery."
Choso immediately rushes into the bathroom to change while Naoya pouts and drags his feet back to Elska.
"Baby, I'm parking right next door and I'll be back as soon as you are finished."
Gojo now strolls in, having listened from the hall.
"We actually are switching rooms tonight!"
Satoru comprehends everything that just happened; from the dual masturbation to the sad accusations that were pointed to Choso. He would've help mediate that situation but if he hadn't stayed behind then Megumi would've seen everything before being shooed away and truly, that's the only thing that bothers him.
'Toji is going to have to handle that shit soon…'
Toji defends his messy territory that has suffered from the multiple people using it.
"This is my room you silver fuck! I don't want to move."
Elska is further jolted by Satoru's sudden appearance but calmly settles into the new conversation and is grateful that the topic has switched.
"What are you talking about Sati?"
She's now quickly donning her ace pants while trying her best to make it seem like she's no longer bothered by what may have taken place with Choso.
"Well, we're going to a bigger room, with a bigger bed."
Gojo winks at her as he's still bent on proving to her that the additional company can be worked with.
"But you two can still feed here, I'll have Naoya and Choso help me finish setting everything up!"
Satoru's eyes take to Toji who he has the audacity to explain to.
"Surely you can understand why this room's defenses are no longer suitable…"
He glances to Elska and brings his palms up to the situation they're in.
"Think about it."
Naoya rolls his eyes as he's really not in the position to refuse lodging but wishes he didn't have to share everything with his cousin and him.
"I swear if it's poorly designed, I'm going to snap. Color scheme and layout is everything, Gojo…"
Toji takes a step forward.
"You're giving me shit about security but you're the one who fucking broke the door in the first place, you cunt! You're up to something, I can smell it."
He never knows how far the silver shaman will go but is slowly wondering if there are any boundaries at all. Toji doesn't understand why Gojo feels Elska needs to be smothered all the time and he becomes increasingly worried about Satoru having 24/7 access again since he can't trust the fucker to behave. Becoming further irritated, Toji starts to manually push everyone towards hall.
"Get the fuck out!"
Naoya is still protesting to being forced to leave even as Toji shuts the door in his face which leads to them hearing his whining through the wood.
"Jesus Christ…they're such fucking handful. Last I checked I only had one kid."
Elska giggles to Toji's vexation but sits on her knees as the large man returns toward her, joining on the bed.
Naoya is still on the other side of the door, fuming.
"Choso is in there you old fart! You're senile as hell!"
Toji's eyes narrow to the bathroom but before he can say anything, Choso quickly races out with soaking hair and practically runs to the door leading to the hallway.
"Jesus...just like roaches..."
Inhaling their first breath of peace, Toji now sighs and slouches over on the edge of the bed.
"Doll…sometimes it's so much to navigate through…"
He lifts his head to gauge her.
"…are you not overwhelmed by all of this?"
His hand finds its way to her cheek after he orients his body more in her direction and almost instantaneously, their eyes respond to each other; him not knowing who's began glowing first.
"It is…a lot…"
Elska concedes it all while nuzzling into his hand.
"…but look at how you three loners are no longer alone. There's no way all of your personalities can be contained so some noise should be expected!"
Elska smiles genuinely as that part really does lift her heart. She watches Toji scoot back onto the bed and get to his knees; her teeth peer through her lips as she gathers he's getting straight to it. With slow motion, she crawls over top his thighs until she's perfectly seated in his lap and his arms are securing her against him. Looking down from now overhead, she chuckles and brushes his hair from his face as she happily takes in the details of his rugged features.
"Just like our first feeding…"
His eyes ever so slightly wince as if he was hit with the memory out of nowhere.
"Yeah doll, it is isn't it?"
"I'm really sorry about earlier Toji…I wasn't expecting Sati to take us away like that. I wasn't expecting any of it actually. But please don't be mad at him either! He's just...you know..."
Toji can sense her guilt and feels like he should address his prior purpose.
"Doll, I was just worried Gojo was taking things too far…like before. I didn't trust that he would have your best interest at heart and I told his ass to cool it which is why I was so angry."
He lifts his chin so he can tuck her head underneath and hold her.
"I am with you no matter what, doll, never forget that."
Toji closes his eyes and finally feels her relax.
"Naoya already said he wasn't going to do that again but I feel like Gojo will still try. They're grounded right now anyways though."
He pulls her away and bends his neck to the side to give her full access with a playful smile.
Elska whimpers but laments while eyeing his neck.
"You're too good for me, Toji…"
Instead of immediately biting him though she turns his head back towards her for a deep and passionate meeting of the lips. He responds by send his tongue into her mouth, causing her to whimper again as she grips his sleek black hair with her right hand and holds his throat with her left; not even meaning to. Both of their fangs form as soon as he breaks their lustrous kiss and he again positions his head to the side as she lowers her own. She can hear him groan as her teeth skip across the skin of his neck but right as she's about to puncture him, Satoru's presence can be felt.
"LOVE WAIT!"
But Elska doesn't even acknowledge him so he warps next to the bed.
"Choso made a valid point!"
Toji's trance-induced glowing eyes meet his so Gojo hurriedly elucidates.
"Toji, if you have Titer energy in you, this is about to be another fucking catastrophe!"
Once this is comprehended, Toji swiftly blocks Elska from his neck and rolls over so she's pinned to the bed having been startled by her thrashing reaction.
