Yukishiro, and the one that protects from the shadows, Chapter 9(End)

Chapter 9 (End)

A Violent Conclusion

It was slow, it was agonizing. Time had seemingly slowed to an indescribable halt from Takedo’s perspective. He could only hear his own heartbeat as the intensity from each pulse left him choking for air. He dared not move as below him laid Kuronetsu, who was lost in ecstasy from her tainted venom’s effects.

Seeking to further please herself as well as Takedo in her lust-filled perception, she swallows the tip of his soft member back inside her mouth. Taking it further in, she stopped right around the middle before Takedo felt something sharp on it.

In the moments that followed, Takedo’s heart ceased in anticipation before he felt the two fangs pierce his member. The pain was nearly instantaneous but fleeting. As the pain went away, he felt it. His back arched upwards immediately as the pleasure surged from his penis. Pumping it full of venom, Kuronetsu held nothing back as the venom coursed through his veins. Feeling the thick venom being pumped into him, the pleasure he felt was mind-blowingly overwhelming.

“GAAAAAAHAHHHHRRRGGH!!!!” Clenching his teeth, his penis which was soft before quickly hardened, growing large and larger in Kuronetsu’s mouth as she pulled herself away momentarily to observe its reinvigorated form.

Throbbing, twitching, and every vein pumping blood to full erection. The two small puncture holes left behind from her bite ooze with a deep magenta color, flowing out as if it was held in with pressure with each pulse from his penis.

“AHAHAHAHA! Look at how hard you’ve got! It’s even bigger than before!” Kuronetsu marveled at the size, holding her cheeks together with her hands in glee. The veins on his penis showed a darkish purple hue, showing just how much of her venom she pumped into it. “Oh…the venom’s leaking out from the puncture wounds. We can’t have that now…” The moment Kuronetsu grasped the base of his penis with her left hand, Takedo’s mouth swung open in shock. His eyes widened, his fingers curled, drool leaking out from the edges of his mouth. The insane pleasure he felt from her touch alone didn’t insight moans of ecstasy. Instead, Takedo screamed in bloody murder from the impossible sensations he felt.

“HYAAAAHHH!!!GRRRRAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!” Rocking his hips up and down, Takedo couldn’t hold still as every movement he made sent shocking pleasure down his spine. The more he moved frantically, the faster the venom coursed through his body. If it wasn’t for the pleasure that the venom forced into his body, the tensing from his muscles would’ve left his body in agony. While she knew that his intense body movements and tensing were ultimately bad for his body, the sight of him twisting about only further ignited the sadism in Kuronetsu.

“AHAHAHAHAHA! Come on Takedo, you’re a man aren’t you?!” Taking enjoyment at seeing him twist and turn about, she focused back on her efforts to close up the puncture wounds on his penis. Tightening her left hand’s grip, a faint green light emanated from where her palms were touching. After a few seconds, she let go as the puncture wounds were gone. “There we go! Now, there’s no more threat of the venom leaking out. Though I guess I may have used too much…” Playfully observing Takedo’s frantic flailing, it was clear the pleasure he felt was driving him insane. “You’re veins will literally bursts from how hard they’re pumping if I don’t do something soon.” Discolored with an almost dark purple color, the veins on his hardened member’s base, as well as under the neck were painfully engorged. If he wasn’t given the release he’d need soon, his veins could very well rupture

Meanwhile, Takedo was bombarded with waves after waves of pleasure as he writhed uncontrollably on top of the bed. Even after releasing Kuronetsu’s hand away from his penis, he still felt the lingering sensation of her touch which felt abnormally pleasant all on its own. It was hard to tell if he could even think anymore as his entire being was focused on the forced pleasure literally injected into him.

“Oh dear…I guess I should do something about this before you break…or at least before your penis does…” Moving her hair away, Kuronetsu hung her mouth open, sticking her tongue out slightly. With a playful lick in the air, she looked up at Takedo to see if he was paying attention. “You’re a man right Takedo? Try to keep your wits for this next part hmm?” Though Kuronetsu spoke provocatively, Takedo couldn’t even register what she had said, much to her expectations.

Just when he thought the pleasure from her touch alone was driving him insane, the very instant her warm, wet tongue made contact with his sensitive tip, his mind went completely blank. His legs bent with his knees reaching as high as they could as his body tensed up from the pleasure that he felt. Barely taking in the tip in her mouth, while his struggles proved to entertain Kuronetsu, it made the actual task of sucking him off rather difficult with how often he’d jerk his hip up and down sporadically along with his fidgeting legs. Pulling her mouth off his dick for a moment, she takes a second to think of a way to keep him still.

“As fun as it is to watch your squirm like that, it makes giving you the relief you’re so desperately looking for difficult to achieve.” Coming up with an idea, Kuronetsu used her lower centipede half to wrap around his legs and arms, forcibly binding them together while leaving his penis exposed, creating a small gap between where her lower half had bound his arms and legs. “There we go! This should make this next part easier.” Before going back to suck his penis, she looks at him one last time, this time moving her face in front of his so he could see her.

“I know it feels like torture, but I’m sure you’ll feel a lot better once you cum.” Closing her eyes, she gives Takedo her best carefree smile before going back down to his crotch. Looking at the tip, precum had started to leak from the tip along with her saliva that had covered the tip from her previous attempt, making for an appetizing presentation for her. Going full force afterward, Kuronetsu wasted no time as she bobbed her head up and down, wrapping her tongue around the base as she pushes down while pursing her lips and flicking the tip as she pulled up.

“HHHHNNNNNGGG!!!AAAAHHHH!!!” With his limbs bound by her centipede body, all Takedio could do was scream in pleasured agony. He was feeling good, but it was far more than he could handle. Thankfully, the release Kuronetsu was mentioning earlier did come as Takedo shot his seed in her throat just as she swallowed the entirety of it. Both Takedo and Kuronetsu’s eyes rolled up at the top of their heads with Takedo feeling a desperate sense of relief that he needed while Kuronetsu struggled to keep her mouth down as he poured more of his cum directly into her throat.

“HHNNFFKKKGHH!!!” Using her left arm, she wraps it under his waist to keep her mouth down on him while using her right hand to grab his balls. Gently massaging it, she presses him on to shoot more into her stuffed maw, bobbing up and down in tandem with his ejaculation and sucking it in with every spurt.

Despite her best efforts, cum managed to spill out from the corners of her lips. Along with the need to breathe air, Kuronetsu pulled her mouth off his penis. Loosening her grip on his body, his arms and legs went limp as he focused all his attention on his sweet release.

Even after being sucked off by Kuropnetsu, his penis was still twitching and pumping semen out, shooting streaks out in the air and landing on Kuronetsu’s hair and face.

“Oh wow…there’s still so much ev-*cough*…even after all the cum you shot in my mouth…” Gasping for air, Takedo had a frantic smile on his face as the racking sensation of pleasure seemingly died down. However, his moment of respite did not last long.

“Wha…n-no…it’s coming back…” Weak and trembling in fear and exhaustion, Takedo felt the pleasure-induced effects of the venom rising once more on his penis. What was supposed to be a euphoric sense of relief turned into a desperate desire to keep said relief intact. In a way, it was easier for Takedo to not have released at all.

With his mind and body desperately seeking to keep that sense of relief going, Takedo grabbed Kuronetsu by her shoulders and pushed her down on the tail end of the bed.

“Oh hoh? What’s this now? You’ve gone feral or something Takedo?” His irises were glazed and his pupils dilated. His mouth hung open, he stared at Kuronetsu with pleading eyes. A few seconds after staring at him, she felt something desperately rubbing against her pussy lips. Looking down, Takedo’s furiously thrusting his swollen shaft against her.

“AAAAAHHH!!! I NEED MORE…MOOOOOORRRRREEEEEE!” Grabbing his shaft with his right hand, Takedo positioned the tip right at her waiting snatch. Pushing inside her at full force from the start, Takedo wasted no time as he thrust his hips frantically in an effort to reach ejaculation.

“O-OH FUCK!!!” With his painfully engorged cock increasing in size along with Takedo’s furious thrusting, Kuronetsu grit her teeth at the explosive pleasure she felt from each desperate hip thrusting. Gripping her shoulder nice and tight, Takedo pulled himself closer to her until his chest rubbed against hers.

Taking aim at one of her exposed venom glands on her neck, he pushed his lips against the left side of her neck and licked her glands. This broke through her dominative mindset if only for a moment as the pleasure she felt from having her sensitive glands licked and her sopping wet snatch being violated vigorously.

The precum that continuously flowed from the tip of his aching penis and the wetness of her pussy made sliding in and out of her near effortlessly on Takedo’s part which helped to quickly bring about the relief he was so desperate for as he cummed deep inside her.

“HHHHMMMPHHHHFFFF!!!” Keeping his lips locked on her neck, Kuronetsu could feel him frantically licking her venom glands each time he poured cum deep inside her. Overflowing with cum and love juices, a pool of both liquids began to fill the bottom part of Kuronetsu’s centipede body, with some leaking to the sides and on the bedsheets. Though Takedo did feel a sense of relief once more from cumming, an odd sense of dread came over him as the time he felt said relief lasted shorter than before. Taking advantage of the momentary pause that Takedo took, Kuronetsu looked up at Takedo’s face as he pulled away from her neck. Anguish was written all over his face from how hollow his eyes looked along with his mouth hanging open in disbelief

“AHAHAHA! Oh man, you should see the look on your face!” Kuronetsu grabbed his cheeks gently, pressing her forehead against his, keeping her crazed eyes locked on his. “Come on now…keep going Takedo! I’m not going anywhere. Use me as you see fit.” Moving left hand down, she cradles his testicles. Though unlike before, she firmly grasps them, squeezing them just enough to cause discomfort.

“I know there’s still cum inside these balls of yours. Judging from how hard your cock is and how much it’s twitching and bulging inside me, you’ve still got plenty of spunk left in you.” Moving her mouth to his left ear, she gently flicks her tongue behind his ears, softly whispering to him. “You’re a man right? Go on…stir me up crazy…” Egged on by her provocation, Takedo threw rationality away as he simply acted on impulse.

Grabbing her breast, Takedo roughly squeezed and fondled them while thrusting away once more. Kuronetsu happily accepted his rabid movements, moaning in ecstasy while Takedo sucked, pinched, and nibbled on her nipples, alternating between each breast before cumming once more. And just like before, the relief from the climax lasted even less than before, giving Kuronetsu no time to rest as Takedo wrapped his arms fully around her back, kissing her deeply as he desperately pushed his tongue inside.

Mixing with the venom on her fangs, Kuronetsu was once again reminded of the mind-numbing pleasure her venom could induce, losing herself in the flow as she too wrapped her left arm on his back while pulling his head even deeper against hers with her right.

Swallowing more of her venom, Takedo felt no fatigue even though his body had definitely had been reached its peak. Regardless, caution and common sense were thrown away in the flow of pleasure. Over and over, Takedo continued to cum and cum inside her. He shouldn’t have this much cum, and that was indeed the case as each spurt had less and less in it. The stench of cum, sweat, and saliva could very well choke anyone else who’d enter that room.

Kuronetsu was going through something similar, cumming from Takedo’s aggressive assault. She’d purposefully hold in her climaxes until Takedo did his own, but with how often he came, it didn’t take long for Kuronetsu to give up on that and cum whenever it felt natural, clinging onto him tightly each time she did so.

After what felt like an eternity for the two had eventually waned. With Takedo exhausted far beyond what he could’ve imagined, his mind had finally calmed down as he shot his last seed inside her, Laying flat and motionless on top of her, his eyes were hazy, rolled up on top of his head.

Only the sounds of their heavy breathing could be heard in the now musty room.

‘…what happened…’ Takedo could barely think as his eyes refocused on looking up at Kuronetsu. With lines of pleasure-induced tears rolling down her eyes, it seemed like she’s had enough. Letting his guard down, Takedo lets out a sigh of relief.

“Yo-you can keep going…right?” A mix of frustration and fear came to Takedo when he heard Kuronetsu speak. Looking back up at her again, she regained her composure, blushing with a smile on her face.

“…I…I can’t even move…I swear I can’t move this time…” Though his body was still feeling the lingering warm pleasure the venom gave him, he couldn’t move his limbs anymore even if he wanted to.

“That certainly seems plausible…after all you did have your way with me like a madman. But I gotta tell you…I have a hard time believing you with your dick still being so hard inside me” He could deny all he wants, but there he was indeed still rock hard inside her, indicated by the frantic twitching inside her. Takedo’s eyebrows lowered in defeat, knowing she was right

“Don’t be sad Takedo. I know you gave it your all, so you’re definitely a man…but you can’t just leave a woman unsatisfied you know?” Sitting back up while holding him in a hug, Kuronetsu once again pushed him back down on his back against the wall end of the bed. Based on how easily she got back up, it’s like the fatigue from all the sex earlier didn’t affect her at all.

“I…I can’t anymore Kuronetsu! I know for sure that I shot everything I have inside you…” Shaking her head, Kuronetsu sat up and pulled herself off Takedo for a moment as their genitals parted. Like an overfilled bottle, cum and love juice poured out from her snatch, dripping down on his still hard penis.

“Yes you did shoot everything you had inside me. My belly feels so warm from all the cum. There’s absolutely no doubt in my mind that I’ll get pregnant from this:..” Rubbing her stomach in satisfaction, Kuronetsu’s eyes softened for just a moment, smiling endearingly as she looked down at her stomach. It would’ve honestly been an adorable sight if it wasn’t for the fact that Takedo was right below her, exhausted and covered in their fluids.

“Even so, we must keep going because for one, I don’t feel satisfied yet.” Her gaze returning to its hollow form, she gently pokes at the tip of his member with her right pointing finger. “But more importantly…this fella over here is still rock solid…we can’t stop until it goes down. Otherwise, the swelling could permanently damage the nerves…” Speaking only half of the truth, Kuronetsu positioned herself on top of Takedo, wrapping her right hand on the base of his penis.

“Hold on! Can’t we just wait until it goes soft on its o-OOOHAAAHAHHH!!!” Ignoring his plea, Kuronetsu slammed her waist down on him, pushing his penis deep inside her once more.

“OH FUUUCKKK!!! YEEEESSSSHHHHHH!!!!” Happy to have his penis back inside her, Kuronetsu starts by placing her hands on his waist and slowly grinding her hips forward and back. Feeling his penis rub hard against her inner walls, Kuronetsu gets lost in her own sex-crazed delirium.

“GRAAAHH!!!!” For Takedo, the pleasure he felt came rushing back, only this time this pleasure was not one that he was seeking, but rather one that forces its way back in his clear mind. Losing control, Takedo quickly reached his climax. Just as he told her, nothing came out, but regardless Kuronetsu continued her hip movements, seeking only to reach her own climax as each frantic, deep thrust sends her closer and closer to it.

“I can feel you attempting to squirt more cum inside me! I guess there really isn’t anything left in the tank huh?!” Switching from grinding to piston movements, she’s careful not to move too vigorously to avoid breaking his dick.

Even if she were gentle, the pleasure that Takedo was feeling became mentally unbearable mainly due to the venom directly injected into his shaft. His sensitivity hasn’t died down one iota, gradually breaking away at what little sanity he had left.

“I’m almost there…but I just can’t get to it like this!” Growing impatient, Kuronetsu changes her position slightly. Stopping for just a moment, this gave Takedo enough time to focus his attention back on her.

“Wha-what now?” Releasing her hands on his hips, she moves her hands up to his arms, grabbing hold of his forearms. Raising her hips up, Takedo kept his focus on the empty eyes that stared right back at him from above while she wrapped her centipede body around his lower legs to bind him once more.

“Please don’t look at me like that Takedo. I don’t think I can hold back if you look at me so pitifully like that!” Raising her hips up slowly, she stopped just before his dick would come out, holding just the tip inside her. Opening her eyes as big as they could get, her hollow, empty purple eyes stared down with a crooked smile on her face. “SO GRIT YOUR TEETH AND MAN UP!!!” Slamming right back down, Kuronetsu’s relentless piston movements were even rougher than before, pushing her waist against his as hard as she could while using his forearms as grips to pull herself towards him.

Tight, but slippery with love juices and cum, her rapid piston movements caused Takedo to undergo multiple ejaculations, driving him insane with each movement. A pleasure that would’ve been impossible to achieve through normal methods, the inconceivable pleasure forced onto Takedo eroded his mind as thinking was no longer an option for him. Drooling with his eyes rolled up at his head, Kuronetsu took a chance to kiss him once more, sucking on his motionless tongue as she happily lapped and sucked his saliva in.

“HHHMMMMHHHPPFFF!!!!” Clearly enjoying herself, the saliva she greedily sucked from Takedo’s mouth gave her the pleasurable boost she needed to feel the incoming climax she’s so desperate for. With her desire to cum screaming in her mind, she further increases her speed.

“…” Takedo was near motionless as he had no strength left to deny this one-sided assault, but just when he thought he gave up on resisting, he felt a sensation other than pleasure somewhere on his body. He couldn’t tell where it was coming from, but the aching feeling was growing stronger and stronger.

Before he could fully wrap his head around where the source was coming from, Kuronetsu suddenly stopped her hip movements after one last thrust. Pushing his penis as deep as it could go inside her, Kuronetsu finally got the sense of relief she was desperate for. With tightening vaginal convulsions and uncontrolled drooling, Kuronetsu pulled away from their kiss as she cums, squirting love juices from where the two connected.

“AAAHAHHH!!!!”

*SNAP!*

“GRRRRRAAAAGGHHHHAAAAAA!!!!!!!!” Screaming at the same time, Kuronetsu looked down and smiled at Takedo, thinking that he was screaming in pleasure. However, upon looking at his bloodshot eyes, she quickly realized that wasn’t the case. At that moment, she felt something soft, but jagged on both her hands. Looking at them, she had unintentionally broken both of Takedo’s forearms, snapping both the radius and ulna of both arms in two from how hard she was gripping therm.

If he could move his legs, he’d kick them around, if he could move his chest, he’d be flailing up and down, if he could move his arms, he’d be fidgeting in pain. With his body completely exhausted from his ordeal, he couldn’t do anything to give himself any semblance of relief. Letting go of his forearms, they started to swell and turn red from where the breakage happened.

“…I guess I got a little carried away…” Kuronetsu did feel regret upon hurting Takedo, but she was awfully calm before lifting his left arm up with both her hands.

“OWOWOWOWOWOW!!!! STOOOOOOOOP!!! IT HURTS!!!” Crying in pain, Kuronetsu felt a tinge of pain in her heart. She tried to be as slow and gentle as possible as she lifted his arm up. Examining the swelling, she moves her mouth close to the swelling mass. Her fangs were in full view as venom dripped out from them.

“No…please…no not again! I…I can’t take any more of that!” The only form of acknowledgment Takedo got from Kuronetsu was her staring back at him.

“I understand that it hurts…and it really hurts me to see you crying in pain like this. So don’t worry, I know my venom can dull the pain…” Before he could talk back, Kuronetsu bit onto his swelling forearm, injecting her venom right into it.

“UWAAHAHHHRRGGGHAAAAH!!!” Just as she told him, the pain he felt in his left arm had all but disappeared. Replacing the heavy pulse of pain he felt with waves of pleasure, Takedo smiled in relief as any resistance he had before faded.

“See? What did I tell you?” Gently putting his left arm down, she does the exact same thing to his right arm as the pain he felt before had all but vanished. In place of it was a mind-numbing pleasure as it threw his sanity in disarray.

“Let’s heal your arms right away while the pleasure’s numbing the pain.” Thinking briefly of the times she’s ‘practiced’ her healing magic on certain scenarios, Kuronetsu focuses her attention back on Takedo’s broken arms. Lifting his left arm first, she gently glides her hands on his forearm as the gentle light green glow from her hands creeps into it, healing his arm as the swelling goes down. After fully healing his left arm, she moves on his right and does the same.

Takedo’s breathing stabilized after getting healed, going near silent as the sounds of his heavy breathes fill the room.

“Sorry about that Takedo…I didn’t mean to take things that far…” Kuronetsu was about to pull out, but as she did so, the erection he had which should’ve softened by now remained hard. “Oh? Even after all that it still hasn’t shrunk?” Pushing herself back inside, she lowers her face down to his, licking his left cheek before smiling.

“I guess using my venom as a pain killer backfired…looks like we’ll have to keep going until it goes down again” With a gentle, soft giggle, Kuronetsu continued to pleasure Takedo who had lost his mind to pleasure…

“Mom! We’re gonna be pretty busy tomorrow so why don’t you get some rest for now and I’ll finish with prep for tonight?” After some eight years later, Nikito and Kyoka had moved on past their ordeal and grief and had returned to their restaurant business. With Yukishiro no longer with them, the two had hired more helping hands in the restaurant ‘Slither’s Nest’, resulting in the need to expand the restaurant’s size.

With the construction crew who were responsible for Tavern’s construction completing their assignment a year and a half later, they were now assigned with helping to expand the restaurant. Overhearing the crew occasionally bringing up Takedo’s unexpected disappearance, Kyoka and Nikito couldn’t help but worry for his fate. Taking his promise to word, Kyoka steeled herself and trusted him with keeping Yukishiro safe.

“No dear. I may be getting on in years…but I still have plenty of energy to help you out.” Inside their home, Nikito stood in the kitchen making soup stock while Kyoka was on the island prep table getting the portions of the ingredients prepped.

“Geez…you’re always so stubborn no matter how old you get mom…no you’ve gotten even more stubborn than before!” Kyoka laughed at her daughters’ annoyance.

“Oh please! Like you’re one to talk dear!” The two Echidna’s stared at each other before bursting into laughter.

*Knock knock!*

“Huh?” Both Kyoka and Nikito stopped laughing when they heard the door knocking. It was close to midnight, so it was rather odd to hear someone knocking at their door at such a late time.

“It’s late…who’s knocking at our door?” Nikito was the first to break the silence. The knocking only got more intense as seconds passed by.

“I’ll get it dear…” Kyoka carefully makes her way to the door. Taking a short pause, she reached for the handle only to hesitate for a moment. Shaking her head, she opens the door. Looking straight forward, she couldn’t see anyone.

“Grandma?” Hearing a small, meek voice below, Kyoka looked down and saw a young Yukishiro. The first thing Kyoka saw from the young Oomukade was her striking light purple eyes. Kyoka’s eyes widened in shock as the first move she made without even thinking was to crouch down and hug her.

“YUKISHIROOO!” Saying so in an almost tearful voice, tears quickly filled her eyes as she rubbed her cheeks against the small child. Nikito who was behind her mother moved to get a closer look as her mother’s actions caught her off guard.

“Mom? What’s going on?!” As Nikito got closer, she got to see the young girl in Kyoka’s arms. The young girl was indeed an Oomukade, but she had short, brown hair tied in a short twin ponytail hairstyle.

“Yukishiro? You mean mommy?” Hearing the little girl, Kyoka stopped crying almost immediately as she gently pushed away from her hug, holding the child’s shoulders.

“Elika! What did I tell you about running off ahead of us huh?” Hearing a familiar voice in the distance, the two turned their attention to the source of the voice.

There, they saw a tall, muscular man with long, brown messy hair. Wearing a white long sleeve shirt and a brown vest over it along with black pants, he was carrying two cloth bags, both large in size and looking quite heavy.

“Sorry daddy…I just got so excited when we finally got to grandma’s house…” Turning her head to speak to her father, Kyoka let go of Elika’s shoulders as she moved to hug her father on his left leg.

“My apologies Kyoka, Nikito. Elika here likes to run off and start things without us…” With an awkward silence from Kyoka and Nikito, the father just laughed while watching them stare in awe as Kyoka slowly stood back up.

“It’s me, Takedo. It’s been a while you two…” The two were snapped out of their bewilderment when he identified himself as Takedo.

Now at the age of twenty-six, Takedo looked mostly the same. His messy hair had gotten longer, but aside from that, he was still muscular, carrying the same youthful face he had before.

“I’m sorry Takedo! I look away for one second, and Elika goes bolting off ahead of us!” Hearing another familiar voice, they saw her coming into the distance. Wearing a white Kimono with blue flowers embroidered on its surface and a light blue fundoshi, Kyoka and Nikito saw Yukishiro for the first time in eight years.

At age twenty-five, her appearance had also changed little as the only new changes to her were her more ample bosom and even curvier hips.

“It’s alright dear. You’re too busy carrying Kalluta on your arms anyways…” Not even noticing what Yukishiro had in her arms, she was carrying the other addition to their family, a newborn baby completely swaddled in a pure white cloth.

Both Kyoka and Nikito’s mouths hung slightly open as they were left in disbelief at what they were seeing. After eight long years of absence, they finally got to see Yukishiro again.

“Hello, mother…sister…I’m sorry it took so long for me to visit again…” Looking embarrassed with her light purple eyes, Yukishiro and Takedo moved closer to Kyoka and Nikito.

“Yukishiro…” Nikito said softly while her Kyoka had both of her hands on her mouth, doing her best to hold herself back.

“Oh dear. Takedo, hold Kalluta for me please.” With a silent nod, Takedo took their baby off Yukishiro’s arms.

Smiling at her mother, Yukishiro opened her arms to welcome her mother in a loving embrace. Not a moment was wasted as Kyoka wrapped her arms around Yukishiro, Holding the back of her daughter’s head with her right hand to pull Yukishiro’s head on her left shoulder. Her tail wrapped around Yukishiro’s centipede body, coiling gently, but firmly.

“I missed you so much!” Teary-eyed and choking on her own words, Kyoka did her best to smile while rubbing her right fingers on Yukishiro’s hair. “Welcome back Yukishiro!” Yukishiro softly smiled at her crying mother, gently returning her mother’s embrace while gently patting her mother on the back.

“…thank you…mother…” Yukishiro turned her attention to her sister Nikito. Her sister’s eyes had a hopeful gleam to it, smiling softly at Yukishiro.

“You kept us waiting for a long time you know?” Saying so in a scolding manner, Yukishiro chuckled with her eyes closed.

“Sorry about that sister. I’ve been busy as you can see.” Nikito took another look at Elika and Takedo who was holding Kalluta. Takedo smiled back at Nikito before Kyoka finished her hug. Wiping the tears off their face, she smiles at the two before regaining her composure.

“Sorry about that! Come in all of you! You all must be tired.” With a nod, the reunited family comes inside Kyoka’s home.

Sitting in the living, both Yukishiro and Takedo were tending to their daughters, with Elika sleeping soundly on Takedo’s lap while Yukishiro was holding Kalluta.

In the kitchen, Kyoka and Nikito prepare some tea and biscuits for the visiting family. While Kyoka was pouring hot water into a tea kettle, Nikito couldn’t help but feel worried as she stared at the door that lead to the living room, then turned her head back to stare at Kyoka.

“Mom…I don’t mean to sour the mood but…do you think Kuronetsu’s still in there…” Hearing Nikito’s concerns, Kyoka pulled the hot water off the tea kettle, setting it aside before looking at Nikito in the eyes.

“Nikito…I’m sure whether or not Kuronetsu is still in there or not, it doesn’t matter anymore, right?” Nikito lowered her head, realizing what she said may have been insensitive after realizing that she had time away from Kuronetsu. “Kuronetsu herself said that she regretted how things went. And yes, it won’t change what’s happened in the past. But dear…” Bringing her attention back to the tea, Kyoka pours the remaining hot water on the tea kettle. “We’re finally back together now…and I’m sure the years she spent with Takedo had no doubt softened her. Let’s put our faith in that and welcome her regardless alright?” Looking back at the door, Nikito shook away her worries and smiled.

“You’re right mom…sorry. I didn’t mean to dampen the mood by saying that.” Shaking her head, Kyoka lifts a small plate holding the tea kettle and five teacups. Nikito on the plate she carried an assortment of snacks to compliment the tea.

When the two walked out to the living room, the two were greeted with a smile from both Takedo and Yukishiro as Kyoka and Nikito set the plates down on the living room table before sitting down on the opposite side. Pouring tea in each cup, Kyoka felt slightly embarrassed in bringing out five cups when the cup meant for Elika would see no use to the child sleeping.

“Sorry for coming to visit at such a late time and with no notice mom…” Gently setting Kalluta down on her coiled centipede body, Yukishiro takes the teacup handed to her by Kyoka, while Nikito gave Takedo his cup.

“Don’t worry about it Yukishiro. I’m just glad to see you’re doing well.” Regardless of the time they visited, Kyoka couldn’t be happier with Yukishiro’s visit.

“No kidding. I didn’t think you’d have kids so soon…you’ve been busy Takedo…” Nikito said with a suggestive tone in her voice along with a sly smile.

“Ahahaha…well I did promise Yukishiro that we’d have a family of our own.” Takedo turned his attention to his slumbering daughter below, gently rubbing his hands on her head. “Elika here is about seven years old…” Nikito smiled at the slumbering Oomukade. Her grey carapace and red legs matched her mother’s. But she inherited Takedo’s hair color, though, unlike Takedo’s hair, hers was straight like Yukishiro’s.

“Ehehe! Elika as you saw earlier was rather energetic, something she inherited from Takedo.” Yukishiro said in a delighted giggle while sipping her own tea. “Anyways…we have multiple reasons as to why we visited you two.” Changing the subject a bit, Yukishiro set the tea down on the table, grabbing a snack as she knew Takedo would speak up next.

“That’s right. The first reason of course is just for the sake of visiting. I brought up to Yukishiro on multiple occasions that it’d be a good idea to visit you two. But each time we tried to plan a visit, certain setbacks held us back from doing so. So in that regard, we’re sorry that we didn’t come sooner.” Shaking their heads, Nikito and Kyoka smiled at Takedo.

“As mom said earlier, it’s fine. So don’t worry about it.” Nodding at Nikito, Takedo carefully reached for a snack himself, careful not to wake Elika while Yukishiro saw her turn to speak.

“The second reason, I’m sure you can guess this mom, but I went back to our old home to take care of Takedo after…well you know…” Her tone softened as her antennae dropped down. It was only for a moment however before they perked right back up. “Well anyway, after that, I decided to live there with Takedo. So while we were still getting used to things, we used some of the gold from the treasury room for funds. So the bags Takedo had with him were all the gold we spent over the eight years we lived there.” Yukishiro turned her gaze towards the two large bags sitting against the wall across the table.

“So that’s what those bags were earlier. They looked really heavy too…” Yukishiro shook her head and giggled at her. “What? Is it something I said?”

“No, it’s nothing, dear sister. It’s just that the two bags we brought with us is only a small portion of what we’re bringing. We plan to eventually move all the treasure mother gathered in her youth back here. We think we can get everything moved here in a month’s time using the transportation services the Centaurs have.” Nikito and Kyoka were left in awe as all the riches they left behind were being brought back to them.

“Think of it as me and Takedo paying you back for using our old home mother as well as the money and clothes we used there. Oh, but of course, I plan on returning some of your clothes and other memorabilia here too.” Overwhelmed by everything Yukishiro said, Kyoka and Nikito were left baffled at how much is being given to them.

“De-dear. I appreciate the thought, really! But I don’t think we have the room for-” Caught off guard earlier, Kyoka had forgotten to mind her voice as Kalluta’s whines fill the room. Yukishiro acted quickly and brought Kalluta back in her arms, swaying the swaddled baby side to side to calm her down.

“Oh, it’s okay Kalluta, don’t cry alright?” Gently humming to her, it doesn’t take long for Yukishiro to calm Kalluta down.

“You were always better at calming her down than I am dear.” Takedo said softly as he reached out to gently place his hand on top of the swaddled baby’s head.

“Oh don’t give me that Takedo. Unlike me, you have a much easier time calming Elika down than I do.” Yukishiro looked down at the sleeping Elika on Takedo’s lap before the two softly giggled at one another.

After their moment, Yukishiro gently stood up, moving to Kyoka while gently cradling Kalluta.

“Mother? Would you like to hold Kalluta?” Reaching out with both her hands before even answering, Kyoka quickly pulled them back, hesitating after thinking that it’s her fault Kalluta was whining in the first place.

“Are you sure? I mean I was the one that made her…” Giving Kyoka no time to resist, Yukishiro brought Kalluta closer to her, causing Kyoka to take the swaddled baby off Yukishiro’s arms. Upon feeling the baby in her arms, nostalgia came rushing back as she felt the same sense of motherhood she carried back when she carried Nikito and Yukishiro in her arms when they were still babies. Carrying Kalluta carefully in her arms with a gentle smile, Yukishiro smiled at her mother’s loving expression.

“Kalluta is just six months old. She can be loud just like any other baby would be…but she’s already much quieter than Elika was when she was a baby right dear?” Listening to the two loving couples, Kyoka couldn’t help but be reminded of her time with Zeick. Nikito leaned closer to her mom to take a closer look at Kalluta

“The little bugger’s face, I wanna see it seeing as how it was hard to see with how bundled up the little girl is.” Finally getting a good view of Kalluta’s face, both Kyoka and Nikito froze simultaneously as the color on their faces faded. Their eyes widened with their pupils narrowing as they saw Kalluta’s features. The baby’s deep indigo hair was the first thing the two saw. Long and straight like her mother’s, she slowly opened her eyes to look up at Kyoka and Nikito.

Try as they might, the two couldn’t shake the look of fear in their eyes as Kalluta dark purple eyes stared right back at them giving them a sense of a seemingly unprovoked dread. What was so eerie about her eyes wasn’t the color itself though, but rather how hollow and empty it looked. It was then the two felt a drastic shift in the atmosphere around them. It was an oddity as they did feel a gentle, caring atmosphere around them. However, it felt forceful. Like an overbearing lover, it was forceful and cold, piercing them with feelings of love that if were trampled on, would lead to dire consequences.

“…ah…hah…” Hearing strange noises, the two were snapped out of their trance and looked up at the source of the sound. There, they saw a very unusual sight. Takedo’s face was all read, his eyes glassy, and his mouth hung slightly open. Looking down at his arm, they saw semblances of scars on what little they could see from his wrist. His breathing made it sound like he was in anticipation. Turning his head on his top left view, Kyoka and Nikito followed his gaze.

Behind the seat was Yukishiro, or was Yukishiro as the color of her hair from her shoulder downwards turned a dark blue color. Along with empty, dark purple eyes that the two were all too familiar with, they watched Kuronetsu gently putting her right hand under his chin.

“Hey now…don’t get all hot and bothered Takedo…just wait until we get home alright?” The kindness and gentle Takedo the two knew had disappeared. What sat across from them now looked more like a man desperate for attention from his mistress, awaiting her commands.

“There’s one last reason for our visit here.” Taking her right hand off Takedo’s chin, Kuronetsu took a moment to stare at Kyoka and Nikito, taking delight at the fear in their eyes.

“You see…Takedo and I have been very busy with our prospects of making a family. As our family grows in size, we need to make more room in our old home. So I need to convert the storage room into another bedroom.” Smiling at Kyoka and Nikito, Kuronetsu moves back to her seat next to Takedo.

“Don’t worry…I’ll be a loving, doting mother just like Yukishiro’s going to be. With that in mind…mother…sister…” Leaning against Takedo’s left arm, she hugs it and giggles at the two.

“I hope you two will lend your support when we need it…”

 

(Afterword
For those of you who stuck around, thank you for reading. This wasn’t supposed to be as long as it ended up. In fact, the first time I wrote this fic, it was a one-shot.

And it wasn’t just once either. I had rewritten the version of this fic almost completed, but after some feedback from others, I decided to start over again and this is the result.

Anyways, thanks for giving it a read ^_^.)
