Igor's response was weak. Akeno's interference was a much-needed breather for Aurelia. When she broke away his gaze, her heart calmed down. In it's place however, a realm of desire and anticipation welled up.
"Igor…"
She wanted him.
"Hm?--"
Chuu~
She wanted him right here and right now.

Time passed and the minutes turned into dozens of minutes as they trickled by. Igor and Aurelia were busy so Shuri stored their lunch and dished out food for Akeno and Asia. Not long after the two girls had finished eating, they went out to fight once more.
Currently, Shuri was alone in her bedroom, her senses focused on the guestroom next to her. Today, Aurelia was careless. Maybe she'd been overcome by desire, but she didn't set up concealing magic. The sound of their lovemaking was barely dampened by the walls.
Their figures were clear as day through Shuri's senses. Her collective perception allowed her to 'see' them through the wall. For minutes on end, Shuri watched and listened with slight embarrassment.
[They're so…intense.]
Truthfully speaking, Shuri did not know how lovemaking was. Her predecessor's memories did not carry over to her aside from those vague feelings of knowledge and experience. Considering her body was reconstructed, she could be considered a virgin in all rights.
[This is nothing like what I know.]
She commented with a flushed face. Shuri would never admit it to anyone, but she's seen a lot of those 'videos'. None of them were like what she was seeing. These two weren't intense in the manner that they would break the bed, but their gaze was intense.
She could feel it from here. They weren't just rutting with each other. They were connecting on a far deeper level…on a spiritual level. Their bodies and souls were connected and that resulted in intense energy fluctuations perceivable to those with superior senses.
[Is this how she feels everytime?]
The bond between them was manifested before her very eyes. This was far from the soulless coupling she knew of. It made her feel…envious.
Shuri had never known this was what Aurelia experienced every day. It made her understand why the silverette was so hesitant in sharing. Igor had become her life just as she'd become his…and she was interfering in their matrimony.
"..."
For a moment, Shuri thought of ceasing her attempts. Her time spent seducing Igor no doubt hurt Aurelia. The only reason the Aurelia was agreed was because she unfairly took the lead on Igor.
In truth, Shuri would also be very hesitant to share him, especially given how exceptional, capable, and loving he was. But…
*Badump*
…the moment she thought of giving up on him, her heart clung on harder. It was far too late for her to back out now. Her infatuation with him had long since passed the stage of physical attraction.
This was the same man who boldly intruded on the territory of gods and risked life and limb to avenge her. This was the same man who was ready to defend her from Amaterasu herself. From the beginning, he'd shown her care and concern.
She knew his pain and how much he cherished the family he had. She intimately knew his loneliness, his sorrows, and his failures. She'd seen it all, felt it all, and knew it all.
It was hard enough holding back her feelings for him. To leave? It was impossible, no matter what anyone said.
[Dimori-kun…]
Some day, she wished he'd hold her like he did Aurelia, for him to look at her with the same love as her. Some day, she wished he'd unabashedly refer to her as his woman, to proclaim it throughout the supernatural world for all to know.
[Dimori-kun…]
She wanted to feel his arms around her waist, his chest against her back, and his breaths on her ear. She envied the hungry gaze he gave Aurelia and also wished to be kissed anywhere and everywhere.
[Dimori-kun…]
Was it so wrong? Was it so wrong to love him? Perhaps it was. Perhaps it was a cardinal sin and an unspeakable act to many. But what was the use denying it?
It wasn't just her heart. Her mind, her body, her soul---everything of hers wanted him.
"Nng~"
She wanted to feel his warmth deep inside her just like Aurelia was. She wanted to be held, to entangle their arms with each other as he kissed her all over. She wanted him to handle her both roughly and gently, to let her feel the carnal pleasures of intimacy and the wonderful throes of making love.
"Haaahn~"
Her womb quivered. She wanted to know how it would feel to have him inside her. Everything Aurelia was feeling, she wanted it too. She wished to substitute herself with her sister, to know how his hard chest feels like, to have his hands on her waist.
"Hoooo~. Dimori-kun…"
But most of all, she wanted him to accept her. A woman like her was unworthy of someone as dazzling as him. But she wished, sincerely wished from the bottom of her heart…that he'd hold her in his arms, and say…
"I love you. I love you so much…"

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The skies of Kuoh experienced constant sounds of fireworks. The sound was high in the sky, yet constant booms had residents wondering what was causing it. Supersonic jets? Perhaps, but they'd atleast see its silhouette in the sky. No one would imagine the booming sounds were caused by two little girls not even old enough to be considered teenagers.
The fight between Akeno and Asia was intense. The two girls traded powerful blows as if they were trying to kill the other. In battle, there was no kinship. Only fists.
Akeno had both her wings out. Her body occasionally flickered with golden lightning, the physical enhancement aiding her in dodging Asia's cruel blows.
Where Akeno was nimble and focused more on energy attacks, Asia had brute strength and was a close-up fighter.
"Hyaaa!"
BOOOM!
Green rune-like markings covered her arms, each of them stemming from the two silver bracelets on her arms. Those bracelets were the developed form of her Twilight Healing Sacred Gear. From their initial state as two rings on her fingers, they one day manifested as bracelets.
It didn't increase her power by much, but it certainly allowed her to punch properly.
"Take this!"
BOOOM!
The green runes flowing all the way to her shoulders was an ingenius way Aurelia taught her to use her sacred gear. By concentrating the healing power, she could freely punch at speeds beyond sound without breaking her bones. Such speeds allowed her to fight equally against Akeno, but her sister in all but name was just that nimble.
"Maaauuuu!"
Asia backed away in anger when her fist failed to connect. She was wary of Akeno's lightning lances. She could make the runes cover her entire body, but that consumed a lot of mana. Unfortunately as a human, she didn't have much mana to spare like Akeno.
Still, her years of using her sacred gear increased her reserves considerably, especially in the last few years, so she wasn't completely lacking.
[Focus.]
She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. Her emerald gaze continuously tracked Akeno's movements, not daring to let her out of her sight.
Hours of constantly fighting with barely half-an-hour of rest was taxing on her. So she needed to finish it fast.
Su!
She charged forward and stretched out her hand.
Dru! Dru! Dru! Dru! Dru! Dru!
She fired multiple mana blasts aimed not at Akeno, but around her. She was restricting her movements!
"[Rising Sun Fist!]"
Akeno was stuck. The dense cloud of mana blasts surrounded her. She had no choice but to reply with her own attack.
Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!
A light spear coated in golden lightning manifested in her arm. She flew forward and was ready to let it meet Asia's fis--
Tswii!
"?!"
Suddenly, Asia appeared behind her. Her fist was releasing an alarming amount of mana, and it was aimed directly at the base of her neck.
"Hyaaa!"
BOOOOM!
It was a crippling strike. Asia was ruthless and attacked with the intent to kill. There were plenty of Phenex tears so they need not worry about holding back.
So today, it was her victo…ry…
Poof!
The Akeno she just hit exploded in a mass of crow feathers. When she looked around…
Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!
She heard the tell-tale sound of crackling lighting right behind her. Her neck tingled because she knew right now, a blade was aimed right at her neck.
"..."
It was her loss.
"Trickster!"
"Hihihi~."
Akeno mockingly swung her lightning halberd around before dismissing it.
"I win~."
"Hmph!"
Naturally, Asia was not pleased. She'd put in so much work just for that one attack, even going so far as to use her brother's Instant Vanish.
"By the way, Asia. When did you learn Nii-chan's technique?"
"I'm not telling!"
She huffed and turned around, ready to descend to the ground. Yet she barely dropped a few dozen metres when her body suddenly ceased up.
"?!"
Her muscles froze. The shallow dizzy spell she'd had for a while suddenly amplified tenfold. The world was inverted. She couldn't tell up from down or left from right.
"Asia!"
Akeno appeared next to her sister and held her up. She knew what was happening. It was the after-effects from the Instant Vanish.
"Calm down. Close your eyes and take deep breaths."
At this point, green runes had already covered Asia's body. The cramps caused by moving at such high speeds were slowly being relieved and in a minute or so, the dizziness would also disappear.
"Aaaaah. This is not…fun."
Akeno only smiled weakly at Asia's complaints. Their brother's Instant Vanishing Technique was not something one could just use willy-nilly. It required a strong body, and a capable mind to move at such high speeds.
Asia? She had neither.
[Hihihi~. That's the last time she'll try it.]
She was tempted to laugh at her friend, but it would be uncouth. What Asia needed the most was a phoenix tear to recover her reserves. In fact, she could also use a phoenix tear herself.
"Come on, Asia. Let's go see mama."

Soo…did either of them remember to set up a concealing barrier? I doubt either three is in the right state of mind to perceive any third parties.
