A Nekomata Tale Chapter 19

Two young women dressed in long white robes stood in the street, facing a five story mansion.

One of them spoke, "This wasn't here yesterday Xenovia. It was a half finished construction site."

"Well whoever lives in that mansion is in league with the Devils." Xenovia responded. "There is a powerful barrier here that we cannot pass. Whoever they are, they aren't hiding it any more.

"I agree Xenovia. Those bonsai trees on either side of the door look ancient. But they can't be that old" Irina sighed. "There used to be a neighborhood here. My best friend lived next door, and we used to do everything together. I was such a tomboy back then, We even built a hideout not to far from here. Well it really wasn't much to look out, it was just a shack that we built together out of old scraps of wood that we found, but it was ours. We built it together."

"What was your friend's name Irina?" Xenovia asked.

"Hyoudou Issei." Irina said. "We were such good friends and sometimes I still miss him. I wonder if he still lives around here."

"Oh, So you didn't want to come here to find the missing Excaliburs, you came here to look up an old boyfriend. How disappointing." Xenovia said.

Irina turned red in embarrassment and said, "Really, Xenovia? How long have we been partners. I am always serious in our assignments. We came to Japan to find the Excalibur that were stolen from the Vatican. It is just a coincidence that they were taken to the town where I was born. Still… Issei was the first and only boy that I ever kissed."

"Really? Tell me more." Xenovia asked.

"Oh, my. I should have never confessed that to you. Xenovia." Irina responded. "We weren't even in kindergarten yet. We had a sleepover at my house and I kissed him after he went to sleep. He never even knew about it."

"How shocking... you kissed a boy and then you slept with him… "Xenovia paused for dramatic effect. I should tell Sister Griselda about this. What a wicked girl you used to be!"

"Oh come on Xenovia, I was four years old! Four. We didn't have sex we just slept in the same room."

"Did you sleep in the same bed?" Xenovia asked.

Will you drop it already!" Irina said in exasperation.

"OK Irina, it was just a little joke." Xenovia said. Then she changed the subject. "Do you think that the Devils will interfere with our mission?"

"Why would they, they hate the Fallen Angels as much as we do."

"Then perhaps we should use whoever lives here as a contact with the Devils, tell them not to interfere with our mission." Xenovia said.

"How?" Irina asked. We can't just walk up to the door and ring the doorbell. There is a barrier you know." Irina responded.

"We will just have to wait." Xenovia said.

"Oh sure, two Church warriors hanging out in front of a mansion for hours, waiting for someone to leave. Not suspicious looking at all." Irina said.

"Do you have a better Idea? Xenovia asked.

Before Irina could answer, the front door of the mansion opened and a young man exited the house followed by two girls, The boy was obviously Japanese but the girls looked different, one of them had long blonde hair that hung past her waist and blue eyes. The other girl was a bit shorter than the other two and she had white hair. Xenovia ignored the other two and stared at the blonde girl. Xenovia remembered seeing her before, but where? The door was closed by the white haired girl but it immediately opened again and a woman said, "Don't forget your lunch Issei."

The man turned around and went back to the door and took the bento box from the woman. Then the woman said, "Make sure to make a good impression Asia, but don't be too nervous, Issei will be right there with you." The blonde girl turned and nodded and then the woman kissed the young man and said. "Today is also my first day of class at Kuoh University, so I'm going to need a little alone time with you when I get home, OK?"

"Sure Kuroka." The man replied. "Why don't we take a bath together and then go for a swim?"

"I have a better idea," she responded. "first we fuck, then we have a bath together, then we fuck again. After that, we can go for a swim."

"OK, but after we swim, do you want to fuck?" he said.

"No, mom's making Curry tonight, you know that it is my favorite dish. First we eat, then you can fuck me again."

"Oh hell no." The white haired girl said. "After dinner Issei is going to be busy. He needs to study and he will have extra homework to make up for missing so much school lately, and after that Issei is going to spend the night with me. Alone!"

"What about me?" The blonde girl asked. "I need some alone time with Issei too.

"You fucked him three Times yesterday, Asia," Kuroka said. "Twice before he even got out of the hospital, and then last night you had a threesome with him and Shirone. All I got to do was hold the video camera and record it."

"You wanted to film it Kuroka. You are a voyeur. You are a bad cat, you could have joined anytime you wanted last night, but you just wanted to watch." Shirone said. "You are going to be a bad influence on Asia. You even propositioned Goru as soon as you revealed your true form to him while Issei was gone."

"Wait, you propositioned dad?" Issei asked.

"Yes I did. I told him how much I enjoyed sitting in his lap while we grew up and I offered to let him sit in my lap for a change. It was only a joke. I asked Miki if it was OK ahead of time. She said that it would be a great gag to embarrass him. She knows that Goru is totally devoted to her and she also knows that my heart belongs to you Issei. I will never betray you like that."

"Hmm," Issei said. "That's quite a shock to hear. I am going to have to think about it for a while, perhaps I should consult with Aika Kiryuu after school to better learn how to deal with multiple lovers."

"You just want to consult with Kiryuu because she said that she memorized every position in the Hindu book of Lovemaking, and she said that she is highly skilled." Shirone said.

Maybe I can bring home something new to make you all happy at the same time." Issei said with a smile.

"Yeah, like a new STD. I bet Kiryuu has fucked every boy in your whole school Issei." Kuroka said with a growl.

"No Aika has higher standards. She won't fuck high school boys, she prefers college men. She's probably fucked every man in your school Kuroka."

"Well that makes me feel so much better. If you come home and give me an STD Issei, I am going to kill Aika Kiryuu and bury her in the litter box."

Issei smiled and said, "I can't catch an STD Kuroka, remember? My Dragon immune system is incompatible with human diseases. I can just raise my body temperature to kill anything trying to invade my immune system, and besides, we don't have a litter box anymore. You and Shirone can live like humans now, and that makes me happier than anything I can imagine. I love all three of you and we have a very long lifetime to share together. I'm now a Dragon which means I am probably immortal, and Kuroka, you and Shirone are Nekomata with lifetimes of hundreds of years and Asia has Twilight Healing She can live for hundreds of years as well, besides, within a hundred years you will all be immortal anyway."

"How? Asia asked. "Humans rarely live to be one hundred years old. I don't think even my Twilight healing can keep me from growing old. Age isn't just a disease that can be healed and death for a human can only be put off for so long. I will love you for all of my life, but eventually I am going to be too old and I will die,"

"Not going to happen Asia." Issei took Asia's hand and then he said to Shirone and Kuroka, "And it isn't going to happen to either of you either. I am giving you girls a little Dragon DNA everyday. You are all going to give birth to my children and they will be Dragons. Not half human or half Nekomata Dragons, Full fledged Dragons because by the time they are born, their mothers are going to be full fledged Dragons who can still maintain a human or even a Nekomata form."

Asia asked, "How are you going to give us Dragon DNA everyday Issei? Is it going to hurt us like it hurt you?"

"No my Lovely Asia. My DNA was forced to morph into Dragon DNA by a magic potion and by Dragon's fire in a sudden burst of change. Your DNA will be changed gradually by DNA that once was human, and so it won't be harmful or painful. In fact, you seem to enjoy it a lot. You got three doses of Dragon DNA yesterday." Issei said with a smile.

I did? but yesterday all we did was… OH, now I understand!" Asia said turning red as she finally comprehended. Then she smiled happily and said. "And you need to make sure that I take it three times a day like the doctor recommends."

Issei looked at his watch, and realized that they were all going to be late for school so he kissed Kuroka one last time and took Shirone and Asia by the hands, and they started walking up the sidewalk until they stepped through the barrier.

Xenovia was seething in righteous anger. Not only were these people in league with Devils, but three of them weren't even human, They were a Dragon masquerading as a human and two Yokai, Japanese Evil spirits, and the third girl was… Xenovia spoke, her tone was angry and accusatory. "You are that heretic and witch Asia Argento! To think that you have fallen so low. as to live with evil spirits and Dragons. Let me slay you now, and maybe God will forgive you and welcome you into heaven if you repent."

Irina Shidou was conflicted and confused, Could this young man, this Dragon, be her childhood friend? She called out to him, "Issei!" Yes, it was him even though he was older there was no mistake. This young man was her first friend.

At the same time that Xenovia was pulling out her sword, Irina was running toward to Issei to embrace him. Shirone quickly stepped in front of Asia to protect her from Xenovia. Kuroka quickly ran and joined her sister in protecting Asia. They both recognized her power, she was only human, but she carried Holy Swords designed and created to slay Devils, Fallen Angels, vampires and other evil creatures. The sword was more dangerous than the wielder. If they were cut by the sword they could be severely hurt or even killed, but their friend and newly adopted Sister Asia had no offensive weapons or skills. She could easily be killed before she could activate her healing aura. They changed into their most potent battle forms. Kuroka transformed into a black Leopard and Shirone transformed into a white tiger.

For Irina, the mission was temporarily forgotten, she had found the boy that she had secretly loved since she was only four years old, and if anything her love had grown stronger. Xenovia had removed her robe and was wearing her battle costume and she held two holy swords in her hands. She was a dual wielding sword master, and she stood still waiting for one of the giant cats to make a mistake so that she could quickly slay it, and then slay the heretic they were protecting.

In less than a second, Issei was moving at high speed. He side stepped away from Irina's attempt to embrace him, and ran up to Xenovia and grabbed both swords by the blades and jerked them out of her hands. He tossed the swords aside and knocked Xenovia to the ground with an open palm shove. "OK you two start talking. Who the hell are you and why did you try to attack Asia?" He yelled angrily.

Xenovia was dumbfounded, He had grabbed two Holy Swords by the blades as if they were wooden practice swords. His hands weren't even cut by two very sharp blades. "...How did you do that? She asked dumbfounded.

"I'm the Sekiryuutei." Issei said in response, and before Xenovia could say anything else, she was suddenly grabbed by her collar and lifted off of her feet. Then he pulled her to him so that her face was inches from hers. "I asked you a question. I don't care if you are a woman, you will answer me right now, or you are going to be burned to ash!"

Irina ran up behind Issei and pleaded, "Issei it's me, Irina Shidou. Don't you remember me?"

Issei ignored Irina and continued to stare at Xenovia.

"Issei please…" Irina begged. Don't kill her. We were sent by the Church to recover a holy sword that was stolen by the Fallen Angels, and it is here in Kuoh."

"I'm listening." Issei said still staring into Xenovia's eyes. He saw her rage melt into fear but he didn't release his grip. "You say that you are Irina, but Irina was a boy. Drop your sword on the ground and walk around in front of me."

Irina unsheathed her sword and sat it on the ground. Then she held her hands up and walked slowly and carefully around so that she was standing slightly behind and to the side of Xenovia. "I'm a girl Issei. We used to play together. Do you remember our hideout? We built it together. We lived next door to each other. Your mom used to make the best Miso soup. We played together. Do yo remember me?"

Xenovia held up her hands and said, "I surrender. My name is Xenovia Quarta. Irina Shidou and I were sent to recover Excalibur. It was stolen by a rogue priest named Freed Sellzen after he was excommunicated. We came to Japan to recover it or die trying. We know that he is working with a Fallen Angel named Raynare."

Issei lowered Xenovia to her feet and released his grip on her collar and said, "Freed Sellzen and Raynare are dead. You can go back to your church and tell them that." Then Issei shouted in rage, "How dare you attack Asia! She never hurt anyone in her life. She was used and abused by your Church and then she was thrown out with the trash. Do you know why she was thrown away? Because she helped someone!"

Then Issei turned and stared at Irina and said, "If you really are Irina, then tell me. What was our Christmas promise?"

Without hesitation, Irina responded. "We are going to kidnap Santa and hold him hostage."

Tears came to Issei's eyes, and he said, "I've missed you Irina."

""I've missed you too Ise."
