It all began from one surprising request from her beloved omega, Inoue Takina.

“Chisato. Train me.”

Chisato laid down on the bed, head propped up on her hand, elbow leaning onto the bed. She gently ran her other hand around Takina’s shoulders, rubbing it up and down her back. “Train you?”

“…I want to be able to match up with you, when we go for missions. I’m tired of being someone who just needed to confirm if the bodies you left were unconscious or not.” Takina looked into Chisato’s eyes, those amethyst orbs determined.

“I do think you’ve been able to properly match up with me recently though…” Chisato looked up the ceiling as she thought, her other hand trailing around those slim waist, gently rubbing her hand up and down that slender back.

“Chisato… I know what you’re doing, please stop.” Takina closed her eyes as her she blushed, grabbing that exploring hand with one of her own. “Train me.”

“Mm… I’m not really sure if there’s anything else you need to learn but… how about a practice match first?” Chisato smiled before wrapping both her arms around Takina’s body. “If you know what I’m doing then… can I?”

“…We have a duty tomorrow so if you promise not to over do it then…” Takina closed her eyes as she received the soft kiss. “Okay…”

“Mm…” Chisato closed her eyes as she pushed Takina’s back onto the bed into a sweet kiss. Since their last mission, in the bar infiltration, Takina has started to trust Chisato to keep her promises, which she has been, so tonight too…

Tall trees lined up inside a large field that could almost pass up as half of a soccer field. Rocks of varying sizes placed in convenient and inconvenient places, to be used as hiding spots. At the center of it all was a cemented section with a few tables lined up for firing range usage if preset. The terrain was uphill, which was probably a good venue for military trainees.

“I always trained here until you came to the cafe. The owner, Genji-san an ex-military cool uncle, lets me borrow it sometimes!” Chisato smiled as she toured Takina to the paintball field. “You know how sometimes just firing bullets on the range isn’t enough… so I often joined some paintball sessions as a wild card player.”

Takina looked around the place. It does have an actual firing range, it’s not setup right now, but there were still some left bullet shells on corners of the field. The ground were a mix of sand, cement, and dirt, and the trees and rocks provide a good cover. If she were going to use this as a field, she was confident to have the upper hand in range, but would likely lose short ranged due to how narrow the paths are.

“Is this what you meant by a practice session?” Takina looked around and found a box of paint ball shells on the table at the center.

“Yep!” Chisato grinned. She gave the ‘ex-military cool uncle’ behind them a thumbs up before leaving and walking towards the safe house down at the bottom of the uphill field.

“With what rules?”

“What about… capture the flag?” Chisato suddenly took out two ribbons from her pockets. “The chances of winning will be even between us. You a long range shooter, and me.”

“If I hit you again like in Miyakojima, you can’t complain.” Takina gave playful grin.

“Ahhh… If you hit me.” Chisato grinned as she handed Takina the blue flag.

Chisato called for the owner of the place, Genji-san, to act as the referee to their match. She also specifically told him to never blink at her partner’s moves, because she’s an extremely good shot.

“Nice to finally meet you, Takina-chan.” Genji-san placed his sunglasses atop his head and extended a hand towards Takina.

“Nice to meet you, Genji-san.” Takina took his hand and shook it with a small smile.

The rules for this capture of the flag would be the first one to capture all three flags of the enemy team wins. However, in order to even the field, one of the flags would be hooked around each player’s waist.

With the protective glasses on, and magazines replaced with paintball bullets, Takina and Chisato both slide in their magazines in to their respective guns… cocking their guns, and it’s a start.

Takina immediately went for the close quarter head shot, but as expected Chisato only dodged it with a swift head flick with that annoying but charming grin on her face. Chisato clamped both her hands onto her gun, taking on a high-ready position as she pulled her hands to her chest for her classic C.A.R. style as she took a huge leap forward towards Takina shooting a few bullets her way.

Knowing that she may as well waste all her limited bullets now she won’t hit her at this distance, Takina quickly beelined upward the forest trees keeping her head low as she passed the large rocks to her cover. Chisato watched her go up into the forest path as she disappeared in between trees.

“Nice.” Chisato smiled before looking around and taking a few steps backward towards a few large rocks, then slipping into the forest trees as well.

“It seems that Chisato’s tactic would be to take my flag before searching for the rest of mine… It would be best if I could keep quiet and collect all her other flags before facing her head on.” Takina hid behind a tree waiting for sound cues of literally anything to determine where could Chisato be hiding. “She knows I can’t win in close-quarters, it is within calculations that she would follow me inside here.”

Takina slowly checked each tree in silence, carefully not stepping on some branches to hide her presence. As she walked halfway to the next tree, she heard shuffling on the bushes behind her and immediately faced it, a shooting practice wooden target suddenly flung upward, then a dash of red and white coming at her.

“Oh no…” Takina immediately took a step back as she watched Chisato from above the target, gun ready on her chest. She rolled to the side as a trail of three green paint splattered on to the floor where she was just at. “You’ve been to this range! That’s unfair!”

“It’s a handicap for the ace shooter, Takina-san~” Chisato quickly ran behind the rocks as Takina fired back at her to keep their distance. “These grounds have some traps too, be careful!”

“Say that earlier!” Takina ran back inside the woods as she kept her guard up for a possible Chisato, or one of those ‘traps’ she mentioned. She knew Chisato well enough to know she wasn’t the type to say such things just to mislead the other. She looked around her area, careful of the possibility of more traps that she hasn’t seen.

Takina then started noticing a few things. It was likely that Chisato warned her, so she’d look more around her instead of being reactive to her surroundings. There were stickers around trees, rocks, and some patches on the sandy and muddy grounds. Green ones are likely the dummy targets, what would be blue, and red in this case?

Without a chance to fully hide behind a tree, Takina heard quick footsteps rushing from her three o’clock. She quickly turned around and spotted a blue sticker right behind a tree. Holding onto her gun tightly, she pre-emptively shot the machinery as it puffed out smoke, she covered her nose and mouth with an arm and hovered around the smoke as the rushing footsteps slowed.

“Great job.” Chisato looked around her as smokescreen covered a portion of the shooting range. “It would be bad of either of us stayed in the smokescreen so… I will do just that.” She trailed around the trees, carefully stepping around leaves and branches. There were foot steps heading out of the smokescreen, as predicted. She dashed right into the smoke, following the quick foot steps, trailing hot on Takina’s heels.

Takina’s eyes widened as she heard Chisato coming after her through the smokescreen. “You’re insane!” She turned around and aimed her gun at her knowing full well she would dodge them swiftly.

“I love you!” Chisato winked as she slid down the ground, closing in the distance between the two of them as she shot at her.

Takina jump rolled behind a rock as she reloaded her gun. She looked to her left and right, looking for a possible trap she could use. Green meant a dummy target, blue are smoke screens, what would red ones be? A glint of a red sticker caught Takina’s attention. She aimed at it calmly, and shot it as Chisato closed in onto her rock.

“Gwah!” The tree sparked as the water sprinkles from above it started to turn on with a shower. Chisato covered an arm above her head as she watched Takina dash from her rock, downwards their starting point taking a beeline for one of her flags. “Hm~ So smart.”

Genji, the ‘ex-military cool uncle’ as Chisato puts him as, watched the two of them with his binoculars from the watch area. Nodding every time Takina accurately hit a sticker, or every time Chisato managed to silently go around Takina’s current position.

With a sudden two-two score, with only each other’s flags left, the two women are closing in on each other’s one on one duel on equal footing, making good use of the range’s traps and mechanics until… a small glinting black sticker caught his eyes. He immediately checked a clipboard and noticed that there was a military exercise that occurred the day before, and that the black sticker could be dangerous.

Chisato ran after Takina at the bottom of the range. She knew that if she cornered her in a spot with a big clearing, she would win. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a sparkle light and immediately knew it was Genji-san trying to catch her attention. She turned to look at his direction, he put his hands up in the air and crossed them, then pointed at Takina’s direction. “Huh?”

Takina ran towards the right most corner, closing in on the black sticker that Chisato had just noticed. Chisato’s eyes widened. She tucked in her gun as she went full sprint. “Takina! Wait! The black sticker is…!”

Takina turned to look at Chisato’s panicked expression as she stepped on the black sticker, and almost immediately felt the ground give away. Chisato threw her gun sidewards as she lunged at Takina with both arms, pushing her away from the trap hole as they rolled together to the side.

Takina lifted her head up as her whole body rested on top of Chisato’s, Chisato’s hands wrapped around her head as she laid onto sandy floor. “Chisato? Are you okay?”

Chisato opened her eyes, blinking a few times as she shook away the pain from the back of her head. “Yeah…” Running footsteps neared them as Genji-san arrived on the scene.

“You okay, Chisato-chan? Takina-chan?” He asked as he checked on them. “Sorry about that, there was a military training exercise yesterday, and the trap holes were their request. My guy didn’t do a good job, and didn’t cover this one…”

Chisato nodded and gave him a thumbs up as she sat up with Takina sitting on her stomach. “I’m good!”

“Ah.” Takina turned to look at Chisato’s waist and took her flag. “I win.”

Chisato only watched her, as Takina smiled innocently and held the flag in between. “Okay, okay. I lost. Geez.” She wrapped her arms around Takina’s body, resting her head onto her chest. “You really like jumping head first into danger…”

“I will admit, I was a bit curious of what black stickers did, given how the others were like. To think they were trap holes…” Takina looked at the hole not far away from where they were. “What are inside of them?” She turned to Genji-san.

“Some icky goo thingy. Not stinky, but real sticky stuff. Glad you two didn’t fall in.” He put a thumb under his chin. “I think Chisato-chan has fallen into one before.”

“Yeah, no…” Chisato groaned as she remembered it. “I feel like my skin was sticky for three days. Also…”

“Yes?” Takina rested both of her hands on Chisato’s shoulders and turned to look at Chisato, underestimating the distances of their faces. “Chisato?”

“Um… Let’s stand up before I have a hard time?” Chisato smiled at her wryly, looking down in between them as Takina continued to sit on her waist. “You know… Adrenaline, and stuff…”

Takina only stared at her flatly. “Pervert.” She got up from Chisato’s waist and extended a hand to help her up with her. “Are you really okay?”

“Yeah. Probably got some scratches but I should be fine. Cushioned fall!” Chisato gave her a big grin. “Let’s go back?” She lazily walked towards her gun and picked it up as she dusted it off.

“I’m really sorry about today, Chisato-chan. I’m glad you two didn’t fall into the trap hole. I’ll make it up to you with better mechanics next time!” Genji-san gave the two of them a thumbs up.

“I’ll be looking forward to it, Genji-san!” Chisato smiled, Takina bowed. The two of them headed to the changing room and immediately heard their phones ring continuously from their lockers.

“Yes, Sensei~?” Chisato put her phone into her ears as the atmosphere suddenly turned dark and heavy. She turned to Takina who looked at her equally concerned. “We’re on our way.” They nodded at each other, quickly double checked their things and left the range.

~*

Chisato and Takina met Mizuki, on the driver’s seat of a long black truck with Mika and Kurumi inside the track, set up with multiple monitors.

“You’re finally here.” Mizuki put her hand out with two Bluetooth ear pieces for Chisato and Takina. The two of them took one each and went inside the truck with Mika and Kurumi.

There were at least six monitors, all of them showing different angles, floors, and locations of the abandoned building just right behind where they were parked. On each screen was at least a squad of third lycoris, led by one second lycoris as they slowly approached the building.

“What’s going on?” Chisato asked as they watched.

“The DA received an anonymous tip about Ryan Irvine, the dealer of toxic heat accelerants. Due to his citizenship, the DA couldn’t get their hands on him, and he had to be handed to the local police. He escaped custody and disappeared.” Mika explained as Chisato’s atmosphere and attitude suddenly changed. “Today, there was a rumor of a major deal happening in this building in forty minutes. For safety, all the lycoris deployed are either betas and alphas.” He turned to Takina. “You’ll be on standby here.”

Takina swallowed. “Yes…” She turned to Chisato whose eyes glowed a bright red glint, as she stared at one of the screens. “Chi…sato?” She gently reached for her closed fist, feeling how tightly closed it was, her hand shaking.

“He’s there.” Chisato spoke through gritted teeth. Kurumi typed on her small laptop as the camera on one of the screens zoomed in. Just as Chisato said, he was standing there with a menacing grin, as if taunting them… “Stop! Don’t let the lycoris in!” Chisato frantically spoke into her Bluetooth earphones.

“What? What are you talking about!?” Fuki’s voice went into the communications. “Stop! Fall back!”

As if on cue, multiple explosives triggered inside the building, shaking the ground around their area. They seemed large enough to injure somebody, but not powerful enough to make the whole building collapse. The camera feed on a few floors disappeared as the one with Irvine in it stayed on. He slowly walked towards the camera and held a paper that said: Come and get me.

“This is Alpha One on the ground floor. All remaining lycoris, proceed with caution.” Fuki’s voice rang in the comms. “Chisato. I know you might want to come and help anyone that’s injured. Make that your priority.”

“No. This time I’m heading towards where he is.” Chisato gently let go of Takina’s hand as she grabbed her gun and cocked it. She turned to the monitors angrily. “He’s mine.”

“…Don’t overdo it. Ground team! Proceed with caution! If you find lycoris along the way make sure that helping and escorting them out is your priority.” Fuki gave orders as Chisato turned away from the screens.

“I’ll send out a drone to the cameras I can’t see.” Kurumi opened one of the truck windows and threw out a Walnut logo drone. “This one, where he was, was from the 4th floor. It could be a trap or he could have moved around already.”

“Explosions confirmed from Sixth, third, and fifth floor.” A lycoris spoke into the comms.

“I got it.” Chisato nodded as she turned to Kurumi. “Sensei. Do we know anything else? Why he is here? Where the deal is happening?”

Mika shook his head. “While he was on the run, there were multiple data of his previous smoke box heat accelerant, and all these trade routes were already closed.”

Kurumi typed something on her laptop and brought up a screen of a dark web article. “Recently, there was news of some sort of gel-type heat accelerants. They were being spread as trial around member-only bars. It’s unknown if it affects only omegas, it could affect alphas too. The trade today could be it.”

“He escaped, and have new products… And we weren’t told until today?” Takina questioned.

“We were right behind his trail until three days ago.” Fuki spoke in the comms. “Which is why we anticipated the trap and did not deploy any omegas in this mission.”

Mika’s phone rang. He raised his phone and answered it as he walked away to a corner of the van. Takina turned to Chisato.

“The DA wanted to send Takina in, too.” Mika just got off his phone as he looked at Chisato, frustration in his expression.

“What? But…”

“In this situation, I’d like to ask to be deployed as well. We don’t know how many we lost in the explosion.” Takina turned to Chisato, gently touching her hands with her own. “I’ll be fine.”

“Takina…” Chisato clutched at her hand tightly.

“Don’t you know who I am?” Takina gave her a smile. “I’m this century’s greatest lycoris’s partner.”

“Call for me. I’ll teleport if needed be.” Chisato gave her a playful smile.

“Okay.” Kurumi pulled up new footage into one of the screens. It was a far away side view of the abandoned building. “The missing cameras were hallways for the 2nd, 4th, and 6th floor. I’ll guide Takina around the second floor with the drone. You’ll be okay on your own?”

Chisato nodded. She turned to Mika who handed her her favorite KSG loaded with her usual bullets.

“Be careful out there, you two.” Mika patted Chisato and Takina’s heads with his large hands as the two of them alighted the truck.

“Takina.” Chisato called for her black haired lover and wrapped her in a warm hug, gently nudging her neck. “For good luck and some marking. Hehe.” She smiled as Takina blushed.

“Geez…” Takina nodded bashfully. “Um… Be careful, okay?”

“You too.” Chisato cocked the KSG in her hand. They both nodded at each other once again and ran towards separate sides of the building, climbing up cemented staircases.

The abandoned building used to be a six floor shopping mall. It underwent renovation, however it didn’t finish, and only turned into one of those abandoned buildings with mysterious owners.

One could clearly see from the wall graffiti and other vandalisms that it was frequented by gangsters. It had at least three staircases, the left and right stair cases, and the center stair case.

There were also scaffoldings, and some empty rooms, as well as some parts of the hall that didn’t have walls, making higher floors a bit more dangerous.

Chisato silently beelined around the second floor of the building, finding the old and abandoned scaffolding used by the construction workers just outside a huge window. She hopped onto one after hanging her shotgun behind her back and climbed up one floor. Silently climbing the building one by one until she reached the fourth floor.

“We’ve regained back vision and communications with the squad on the sixth floor. A few minor injuries were sustained. Resuming investigation in stealth. Unknown substance of gel-type residue from the smoke grenades confirmed.”

Someone’s voice in the comms spoke. Chisato acknowledged the information and hopped in the window of the 4th floor. Thankful to the bright light of the moon, she wasn’t too lost into building, however, putting up a flashlight would pose some risk.

Chisato pressed her back onto a wall as she felt and faintly heard footsteps not from afar. There was suddenly a small light of lamp, followed by a few others as she peeked further down the corridor. She slowly pushed forward making sure her surrounding area was clear and safe.

She walked closer and closer towards the small lamp, making sure she wasn’t about to step onto traps or any object, and what she saw beyond made her blood boil.

“Communications restored with the squad on the fifth floor. One lycoris agent unconscious. Sending one agent with the unconscious agent back to the first floor. Please advise.”

Takina looked around her area as darkness consumed the abandoned building, with only the dim moonlight showing parts of the sides of the building’s second floor staircase. 

“Alpha here. Send two agents with the unconscious agent. Delta on fourth floor, take over investigation on the fifth floor. Leave the fourth floor to Nishikigi Chisato.” Fuki’s voice rang in the comms as the other lycoris on the field voiced affirmations. 

“Damnit. They’re all betas.”

Takina blinked as she heard voices, and multiple footsteps coming from the other side of the center staircase.

“Did someone leak today’s plan?”

“Don’t think so… Maybe they knew we were just going for omegas.” Another voice chimed in.

“Two? Four?” Takina pressed her back onto the wall as she tried to listen in on the on going conversation.

“Nothing we could do about betas. Maybe they brought an alpha we could bitch?” Two more pairs of footsteps joined in, followed by the click of a lighter.

Takina remained quiet. “Are they planning to capture alphas next? Make them submit and turn them into omegas?”

If an alpha and an alpha had sex, and one of the alphas consented and accepted the change, they could turn into an omega, and this process was called “Bitching”.

“Maybe they sent in that one who seduced me into an arrest.”

Takina’s eyes widened. It was him. She knew that voice because she conversed with him for a while. Does he know? However, they tried to cover up her scent… and she’s bounded to Chisato. She shouldn’t have a regular omega’s pheromone…

“I’ve remembered so well what that girl’s alpha smelled like… and I feel like they’re here…”

Takina heard the voice walk closer and closer towards her wall. She took a few steps backwards before accidentally knocking over a can.

“Who’s there!?” A flashlight turned on from behind Takina, and a few other more pointed around her vicinity.

“Ngh…!!” Takina ran towards the central staircase, climbing up one floor as she grabbed a flashlight from beneath her lycoris bag, together with her silencer.

She shone the light around the area and was surprised that no one was on that floor. Were the explosions used to lure the lycoris onto those floors? She quickly looked around for a place to hide. There was a broken wall ahead, she dashed towards it as she kept her distance from the multiple footsteps coming up at her.

“Find her! Get the lights for the building! Turn them on!”

“Hurry it up!”

“It’s her!”

Takina attached her gun’s silencer as she pressed her back onto the wall before peeking at the flashing lights ascending from the center staircase where she was just at. It was confirmed that most of them were on the second floor, having kidnapped the lycoris scout team sent to scan around it during the explosion.

She looked at the number of lights and could confirm at least eight… twelve grown men with flashlights and big guns all searching for her.

Takina knew that staying in her position would put her in danger, but running around blindly would be even more dangerous. If she could slowly get rid of them one by one… then maybe… She pressed a button on her comms as she covered her mouth with her sleeves.

“Irvine and his men are on the third and second floor. Kidnapped agents have been found. They’re being held on the east staircase of the second floor. More or less fifteen to twenty men.” She whispered into her comms. She looked around and found a familiar yellow drone flying outside.

“Takina. You could slowly take a few steps backwards. If you could reach the other side of the floor, you can meet up with Chisato.”

Kurumi’s voice spoke into her comms. She nodded towards the drone and held onto her gun tightly as she took a few steps backwards.

“Stop. I sense a warm body near that hasn’t been moving for a while. Maybe they were sleeping?”

Takina moved backwards in smaller steps, keeping her eyes in front of her where she could see the flash lights.

“When is that generator going up!?” A man’s voice shouted.

“The big booms dislodged some stuff! It’s good!”

Suddenly, the whole abandoned building was lit up with small light bulbs enough to cover up the tracks.

“There she is!” The men found Takina standing in the middle of the floor. There were too many of them.

“Strike team! Head to the second and third floor! Support team, take the corner scaffolding and rescue the prisoners reported on the fourth floor by Nishikigi!” Fuki commanded as Takina suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder.

She immediately took the hand and overthrew the grown adult man forward. She put her bag in front of her as she ran away from the open area, firing back at the handguns firing towards her way.

“Kah!” Takina felt a bullet scrape by her left thigh, leaving s light cut that turned red but didn’t bleed. She rolled towards a broken wall, resting her back on it as she fired at two coming men towards her direction, hitting them on either shoulders, knocking them out.

Takina reloaded her gun and got up from the corner, swiftly shooting through two more men’s both thighs as she continued running backwards without looking. She reloaded once again.

“Takina, behind you!”

Kurumi’s voice came into her ears, and Takina turned right in time she collided with a tall guy, followed by a smoke explosion.

“Smoke!?” Takina immediately pushed herself sway from the tall man she collided with, making full use of the smoke while trying her best not to inhale too much of it. After all, Ryan Irvine’s last product was a box that emitted smoke. She extended her arm forward as she aimed through the smoke, standing at the center of it without moving, prepared to shoot anything that moved inside it.

“Takina! Rush forward!”

Takina trusted Kurumi’s words as she ran forward through the smoke. She turned to look back at the smoke. Her eyes widened as a hand suddenly grabbed her gun right wrist, pulling her forward.

Her right side collided into something tough that may as well have been a leg, flinging her far away to the other side of the corridor.

“Gahk! Agh…” Takina coughed out, thankfully no blood, but she was in great pain. She rolled a bit further than she anticipated. After getting her momentum she quickly got back on her feet. She toughed it out and aimed at the tall guy, hitting him on both shoulders, and through thighs, but his walking towards her didn’t stop. She made a beeline for her lycoris bag that wasn’t too far away from her, and ran towards the other end of the floor. She fished out a smoke grenade from her bag and threw it behind her.

The floor was immediately mostly filled with white smoke. Takina covered an arm over her face as she took cover. She closed her eyes as she gently touched her sides. Thankfully likely no broken ribs, but it was fact she would be sore on the side for quite some time.

“This is Alpha. Engaging with assailants on the second floor!”

“This is Delta. Escorting prisoners from sixth, fifth, and fourth floor! Shall we follow Nishikigi Chisato?”

“Chisato… Takina’s in trouble!”

“I’m coming!”

“Chisato… I’ll buy time… The prisoners, you have to get them to safety.” Takina answered into the comms as she put her bag on her back once again. 

“Kurumi. Take care of her for me. I’ll be there soon.” Chisato’s voice was deep, and in it was anger, and it was evident.

“I got it! I’ll do what I can.”

“Kurumi. How many are the people on this floor? Do you know where Irvine is?” Takina looked at her gun’s magazine. She probably had enough for at least ten to eight men… If she were to shoot them fatally, maybe more, but Chisato…

“Fuki and the others are keeping them busy on the second floor. You’re atleast with ten to fifteen left on that floor… and Irvine… He’s ~{%]^]*}%*”

“Kurumi!”

“Hi~” Ryan Irvine peeked from right above Takina, a signal jammer in his hands, and a pistol on another.

Takina immediately aimed her gun upwards, shooting the jammer from his hand, getting up from where she was crouched at and taking some distance but she narrowedly dodged a bullet from Irvine’s pistol, hitting the communications device as it dropped to the floor, broken.

“Did you have any idea on how much that jammer costed me?” Irvine shook his head as he sighed. “It’s nice to see you again, Kiboushi-san. Or should I say… Cafe LycoReco’s

Inoue Takina-san?” He spun the revolver around his hand deftly before aiming it at her.

Ryan Irvine. Alpha. He was to be a rumored foreign trader of illegal goods that had been trading through a route in Tokyo for some time. Due to his immunity, the Police had to let him go and the DA couldn’t get him. He wore a white pantsuit and coat outfit. Together with a fedora hat that hid his short and slick blonde hair. He had narrow eyes, and a wide jaw, completing his slightly foreign image.

He could speak fluent Japanese… Then does that mean, he wasn’t actually a foreigner? Takina aimed her gun at him. “What do you want?”

“You see, I don’t take it so lightly when I get setup for a trap… so I can’t help it but take some revenge.” Irvine laughed as he ran behind a wall, Takina’s bullets hitting right where he was headed. “So I set up this elaborate plan to get you to come to me… but I’ve yet to see your beloved partner.”

“You won’t get to see her if I end things here.” Takina slowly walked backwards, further away from Irvine as she noticed how the men coming at her were multiplying, and the tall guy was still standing.

“That’s the thing. I really want to meet her so that I could kill her, and then have you all to myself!” Irvine pulled out a remote and pushed a button.

The floor’s sprinklers suddenly turned on, as it spit out a mist like smoke, however, the smoke carried something else that was almost a water droplet. Somehow jelly, and sticky.

Gel-like? Takina’s eyes widened as she tried to look for any roofing from the sprinklers. The gel-like substance dripping on her hair, then her clothes.

The effect was almost instant. Takina felt her breathing get shorter as her heart started to beat faster. Her body heated him as she felt her pheromones release from her body. No…!

The sprinkler stopped, and a cold windy air blew into the building, clearing away the smoke as Irvine emerged once again a few paces from Takina.

Takina hugged her body as she knelt one knee on the floor, her hand shaking as she aimed at Irvine’s direction. She was supposed to be aware during her heats. Who was she kidding? She was aware, but her body, her mind, wanted something else. She slapped her face hard as she got a little bit of her control back through the pain, and aimed at three of the men near her, shooting them around the shoulders before giving it her all running for the nearest cover.

“There were ten of them including the tall guy and Irvine, with three down… My fighting chances should increase but… I… Hah… Chisato….”  Takina panted as her body yearned and burned. “Chisato…!”

~*

“Chisato!” Kurumi’s panicked voice rang inside Chisato’s ear.

“I know.” Chisato turned around, staring towards a general direction. “…I know that scent. I could smell it.”

“As expected of a powerful alpha. However, this isn’t the time to be amazed about that. Takina is…!”

“I know!” Chisato gripped her gun tighter as she watched a group of third lycoris slowly help around a number of omegas in shackles. There were a few bodies of men lying down around that were already taken out by Chisato. “I promised her I’ll make sure they’re safe.”

“Go.” It was Fuki’s voice this time. Chisato heard foot steps coming towards her from the othef direction. “Go to her.”

“But how about Sakura, and everyone?” Chisato jogged and met Fuki halfway.

“We’ve got things under control on the second floor, but the entrance to the third floor is still a bit busy. More of his men were concentrated on it. You could take the scaffolding.” Fuki pointed at the what seemed to be a carpenter’s scaffolding near where they were. “It might be a bit far to where Takina is, but it’s the fastest way we have now.”

Chisato swallowed as she held onto her shotgun, her eyes glowing red as she nodded at Fuki. “Thank you, Fuki. I owe you.”

“Don’t kill them.”

“You know my policy. It’s always ‘value one’s life’.” Chisato cocked her KSG shotgun and ran towards the scaffolding, hopping around it with a hand, then jumping downwards.

~*

Takina grabbed a smoke grenade from her bag and threw it around her, her breathes short and ragged. She pushed a button under her lycoris bag as a knife came out from under it. She stared at it with shakey hands before slicing it down her left palm.

“Nnggghh… Mmm….!” She closed her eyes as she bit her lower lips to drown the pain, dropping the knife with a clink onto cement. Blood dripped to the floor as she refocused her attention towards the now dissapating smoke. She grabbed her gun that was just lying down in front of her and focused, precise gun shots.

Takina struggled to get back on her feet as she clutched her left hand for pain as it bled. Seven men… Where’s the tall one? Irvine? She felt a presence just right behind her and fired two shots at one guy’s left shoulder and another to his right knee.

She immediately turned to the one next to the guy she just shot and aimed for the same: left shoulder and right knee. Takina clutched her injured hand in order to keep her awareness in control, but the throbbing and heat of her body was coming unbearable. She dropped both knees to her feet as her right hand shook while she tried to aim.

“Oh no~ Fully in heat by now? Nice try on injuring yourself…” Irvine suddenly appeared in front of Takina, crouching down as he touched her jaw with his index finger, pushing up her face to look at him. “Mm. Just as I predicted, a nice face I sure would love.”

Takina shook her head as she gritted her teeth and glared at him, her hands tightening on her gun. Irvine touched her shoulders, and she immediately felt her body throb. It’s an alpha… Her body wanted an alpha… No, no… Not this one… Never…

“Hah… Hah… I would… rather die…” Takina panted as she closed her eyes tightly, clutching her injured left had into a fist as she trailed blood all over her blue uniform. “Chisato…!”

“I’m afraid it’s the end of the line for you. You’re mine–” Irvine smiled at her until a loud banging sound echoed not far from where they were.

A man grunted as bodies fell one after another, a grunt after another.

Irvine looked at his three left henchmen and the tall guy, and motioned for them to look at what’s going on.

Suddenly there was a smoke grenade. A drone then passed by in front of the tall guy.

The tall man moved his hand in front of him as if he was shoving away a fly, and then once the smoke dissipated, he was face to face with the barrel of a shotgun as it exploded before he could react.

A menacing white haired woman with glowing red eyes walked outside of the smoke. She stepped onto the tall guy’s unconscious body, shot him in the face two, three, four, five times before reloading her shotgun and shooting him a sixth before leaving.

“Ah… You must be Ryan Irvine. It’s nice to finally meet you.” Chisato spoke in a deep and menacing tone as she slowly walked towards them. She felt her non-beating heart throb as she saw Irvine crouching next to a ragged down Takina. “May I politely ask…? What did you do to my adorable partner?”

Chisato’s eyes changed colors from red to gold as her pupils dilated. Her alpha pheromones, that were already oppressing and suffocating to other alphas, became stronger and more potent. An Alpha’s natural reaction to their soulbounded mates. To release a pheromone that would scare away other alphas, while it’s a scent of comfort to their omegas. It was also rumored that a very talented alpha could change their eye colors from red to gold when their killer instinct are activated. It’s often a sign of territorial behavior that bound alphas usually display.

“Wh- What are you guys doing!? She’s just one person! Go after her!”Irvine tried to stand up from his kneeling position but the moment he did, he felt his knees and waist buckle at the pressure, and fell backwards to his butt. “Wh- What!?”

“Hey. I asked something, didn’t I? What did you do to my adorable partner?” Chisato cocked the KSG as she continued walking towards them. “It will be one bullet per scratch I see on her, Irvine.”

“Hurry it up and get rid of her!!!!” Irvine screamed at the top of his lungs as he pointed at Chisato.

Fortunate to Irvine’s plans, all of his henchmen were betas due to the fact that he wanted to remain the only alpha in his crew. The five men picked up their guns, their hands shaking as they shouted and came after Chisato with pistols and machine guns.

If an alpha’s pheromone was strong enough, it could affect even the betas, which was starting to come into effect as the five men hesitated to come after her. Chisato swiftly dodged the bullets, moving casually as she walked through a rain of bullets.

She calmly kicked one guy, and shot him in the face with her shotgun, before spinning around and dodging a guy’s knife. She quickly took out her pistol from her bag with her left hand and shot him on the temple, the forehead, and then three to the chest, then reloaded.

Chisato continued to clean up the rest of the men before reloading her pistol, and then her shotgun as the five men dropped to the floor. She stashed her pistol into her bag as she slung her KSG to her back. She slowly walked towards Takina as Irvine scurried, crawled away from her.

“Wh- Who are you? Y- You’re a monster!” He pointed his revolver at Chisato, shooting at her as she calmly dodged his bullets until he ran out of them. “Y- You’re insane!”

“Shut up and stay there. I’ll get to you after I’m done with the more important things.” Chisato stared him down before turning to Takina and lifting her up into her arms. “Takina… Takina. Are you awake?”

“Chisato! Chisato…! Hah… Hah…” Takina threw herself onto Chisato’s body as she closed her eyes and took in her calming scent. “Chisato… Chisato…”

“Yes, yes. This is Chisato-san~” She hugged Takina tightly with one hand, taking Takina’s left hand with her own. “Did you do this to yourself?”

“Y- Yes… I had no choice… if I wanted to continue fighting back… Hah…” Takina leaned her face onto Chisato’s chest. “I had to…”

“I know, I know… That was reckless of you… but I’m proud of you. Bear with this for a moment.” Chisato pulled at her lycoris bag and took out a towel and wrapped Takina’s hand injury. “Let me give you a look over.”

Chisato removed Takina’s lycoris bag from her back and gently slid it under Takina’s head. She counted the bullet scrape on her thigh, a handful of scratches on her legs and hands. The building large bruise on her stomach. Chisato felt her blood boil. They dare do this to her adorable partner?

“Normally this is the part where I say ‘value everyone’s life’ but… Sensei.” Chisato kissed Takina’s forehead as she pressed onto her comms. “You think Kusunoki-san would mind if I beat him up a little?”

“Depends on what ‘little’ would be on this situation.” Mika’s calm voice went into the comms as Kurumi’s drone moved in to where they were.

“You know. Half-alive, but mostly dead, or something.” Chisato’s voice was deep, angry.

Mizuki looked behind her at the monitor’s screen and smiled. “Hmph. Dude just signed his death sentence.”

“Oh? Something good happening from here on?” Kurumi looked at Mizuki.

“If you wanted to see the ‘top lycoris from the old radio tower incident’ then this might be one of your chances.” Mizuki leaned an elbow onto the truck’s dashboard and propped her head onto her hand.

“What does that mean?” Kurumi turned to Mika.

“It’s Chisato with her killing intent in full force.”

~*

“Takina. I don’t have anything else but… do your best with this for a bit, okay? I’ll be back soon.” Chisato untied her ribbon and gently placed it into Takina’s hand. Takina took the ribbon and clutched it tightly with her good hand.

“Chisato…” Takina tugged onto Chisato’s sleeve. “…You can’t kill him… Okay?”

Chisato’s eyes returned to normal briefly as she sighed. “I really can’t win against you, can I?” She turned to face Irvine once again, her eyes changing as well as her aura. “I’ll just teach him a lesson or two.”

Chisato walked towards Ryan Irvine who firmly stayed in his place. Butt on the floor, legs spread wide both hands behind him as he looked up at Chisato in fright.

“What did you do to my adorable partner? Now’s your time to explain yourself.” Chisato brought her KSG to her front again, cocking at first before resting it on her right shoulder.

“I- I didn’t do anything to her!” He reasoned as he pointed at Takina.

Chisato swiftly took her gun from her bag, cocked it and shot his pointer finger as he screamed in pain. Smoke came out of the barrel of Chisato’s handgun as the bullet casing clinked down the cement floor.

“You don’t get to disrespect her, you’re dirtier than sewage water.” Chisato spoke in a low voice. “Feel like talking yet?”

Irvine inspected his finger. He was in so much pain but his finger was… in tact? He looked at the floor and found the remnants of rubber. “You think rubber bullets can hurt me?”

“Wanna try?” Chisato shot him thrice in the stomach with her pistol.

“Gwah!” He slouched forward in pain.

“He told Takina earlier that this whole plan was a ruse to lure you and Takina here, because he wanted revenge.” Kurumi spoke through the comms. “Oh, and to make Takina his own.”

“I heard you wanted to lure us here, for revenge. Petty, don’t you think? You were the one drugging and selling those omegas in your warehouse. To think that you wanted to turn my woman into yours? I think your bravery is stupidity in this situation, Ryan Irvine.” Chisato shot his forehead with the last of her pistol bullets, making him look up at her. She let go of the KSG and let it hang to her side as she reloaded her pistol. “Oh? What am I looking at here?”

Chisato narrowed her eyes on the tent between his legs. “You seem raring to go, and because of what? My pheromones? Did you want to get bitched and become an omega?” She aimed the KSG in between his legs and fired two shots mercilessly.

“GAAAHHHH! AGHHHHHHH!” He lurched sidewards as he covered his hands over his crotch area. “Grah! FUCK!”

“Ah… I haven’t collected your debt yet. Remember? One bullet per scratch.” Chisato’s eyes glowed bright red, into dilated gold ones as she aimed her gun at him.

“Daaaaamn.” Kurumi’s eyes was glued to her monitor screen as it rained gun muzzle flashes. “Remind me not to make her angry.”

Ryan Irvine laid onto the floor unconscious. Chisato let her KSG hang around her shoulder as she put out a bolawrap gun and started shooting them at the men still sprawled on the ground.

Fuki and Sakura arrived on the scene to take over. Chisato lifted up Takina and carried her bridal style her bag in her hands.

“You sure ’tis guy’s alive, senpai?” Sakura poked Irvine with the tip of her gun.

“Yeah.” Fuki checked his pulse. “Unfortunate for him, he still is.”

“Would be great if he wouldn’t ever be able to reproduce though?” Chisato playfully looked at Fuki then shrugged.

“Take her to the clinic.” Fuki spoke sternly. “Yamagishi-sensei might have something enough to suppress the heat a little, at least to dress up her wounds.”

“I got it.” Chisato nodded and gently carried Takina down the closest staircase.

~*

After cleaning up at the scene, Mizuki immediately drove Takina and Chisato to Yamagishi’s clinic as the night deepened. Thankfully, Takina didn’t lose much blood from her hand wound, but it would take a while for it to completely heal.

“Chisato, do you think you can help her clean up?” Yamagishi finished injecting a heat suppressant onto Takina’s abdomen. She motioned towards the bathroom. “Get her into that hospital gown so I could examine her after.”

“I got it.” Chisato lifted Takina up from the examination table and went straight to the bathroom.

Yamagishi looked at the dried up samples of the gel-like substance from Takina’s hair and clothes and sealed it inside a jar to be sent for examination.

Not too long after, Chisato went back to the examination room with a fresh and clean Takina in her hospital gown to the examination table.

“I’d have to ask you to leave, would that be okay?” Yamagishi looked at Chisato, then to Takina. The both of them nodded.

Mizuki returned to the clinic with a fresh set of clothes and a lycoris uniform for the two of them, from the cafe. She dropped the car keys to Chisato’s hand and looked at her face.

“Did you look like that the whole time you’re here in the clinic?” Mizuki asked the question no one has been able to ask as Chisato looked up to her from the keys in her hands.

“Huh?”

“You look like you’d kill a whole kingdom.” Mizuki patted Chisato’s hair before messing it up.

“Hey!” Chisato tried to remove Mizuki’s hand. Mizuki painted at Chisato, then to her own eyes, as if silently telling her about it. “What’s with my eyes?”

“They’re glowing red. Take a chill pill. She’ll be fine, ‘kay?” Mizuki sighed. “You two are fine.”

Chisato nodded. “Thanks, Mizuki.”

Mizuki just walked away, waving her hand up in the air as she exited the clinic.

Chisato looked at the keys in her hand, and the extra set of clothes, she walked down the clinic halls and borrowed the showers to freshen up before returning to the examination room.

Once she had arrived, Takina’s scent was mostly back to normal, and she was now able to sit up on the examination table on her own. She had a bandage on her left hand extending to her wrist for support, and another to her left leg.

“Chisato.” Takina called to her, and she just gave her a small smile. “Welcome back.”

“Yeah, I’m back. How are you doing?” Chisato walked towards her as Yamagishi finished writing something.

“Here are some painkillers, you would likely be in pain for a while. I recommend cold compress for the bruise on her stomach for a while, then hot compress once it has stopped swelling, but ah…” Yamagishi handed Chisato a bag of prescription painkillers. “The suppressant would only be until an hour or so, it’s still best to deal with it with your usual. So take birth control, and the pain relievers.”

Takina took the pill from Yamagishi’s tray and drank the birth control pill, then the pain reliever and washed it down with water.

“About the substance…” Takina looked at her, worried.

“Analyzing might take a day, so make sure to observe yourself for a while.” Yamagishi nodded, then turned to Chisato. “Try not to open her wound, okay? I see you’ve calmed down.”

“Ah, y- yeah. Sorry about, earlier.” Chisato bowed her head as she realized it could have been because of her eyes when they arrived.

“It’s all right. All good. I’ll let you know about the results soon. Take care.” Yamagishi nodded at the two of them.

Chisato helped Takina down the examination table and gently led her to the changing room to get her back into a fresh set of clothes. Chisato gently touched the large bruise on Takina’s right side as she felt frustrated at herself.

“Chisato..  It’s fine.” Takina touched Chisato’s cheek as Chisato only nodded at her. She put on her long white long sleeves, followed by the lycoris uniform “Let’s go home.”

The drive home was quiet, but comforting. Takina fell asleep for a while, and Chisato had to carry her back inside safe house 1 as she rested.

~*

After changing Takina into a simple shirt and shorts sleepwear while she slept comfortably in their bed, Chisato made a quick run to the convenience store for Takina’s heat. She wasn’t scheduled yet for a while.

The moment she arrived, she rushed towards her own room as the sweet scent she always loved came up in the air. The suppressants probably wore off while she was outside.

Predictably, Takina was already bundled on the bed they shared, surrounded by most of Chisato’s clothes from her closet. Her face flushed, and those purple orbs yearning.

“Chisato?” Her voice was weak and tired, but they both knew they had to do it or the heat wouldn’t end right away.

“Yes~ I’m here~ I’m sorry, I’m late. Have you been awake long?” Chisato dropped the bag of water, energy drinks and other stuff to the side table as she wrapped her arms around Takina’s body.  Takina shook her head. “Are you okay?”

Takina nodded lazily, cocooning herself inside Chisato’s embrace. “The heat… It feels a bit weird. I feel like I’m a little dizzy, but my body is so hot… and I want… you.” She gently placed her lips onto Chisato’s as she closed her eyes.

Chisato welcomed the kiss as she returned it, her hands exploring around Takina’s back, slipping in one hand up her shirt to touch her skin directly. “Takina…”

Takina said she hasn’t been awake that long, but she was able to quickly throw up a nest. She checked her hand if it was bleeding, no bleeding. Her thigh bandage, also good, the bruise, it seemed to be the same as it was earlier. Seems like at least Takina didn’t overdo herself making the small nest.

Takina pressed her body onto Chisato’s as she grinded her hips onto Chisato’s thighs unconsciously. “Chisato… Touch me…?”

Chisato swallowed as she nodded and continued the kiss. She gently pushed Takina down the bed as they kissed. She took Takina’s left hand with her right, and gently draped it around her back. “Be careful not to open your wound, okay?”

Takina nodded as she relaxed her left hand around Chisato’s shoulders. Her voice hitched into a moan as Chisato kissed around her neck, nudging her jaw and shoulder with her nose as she checked her pheromones.

“They are heat pheromones…” Chisato felt her own body heat up as Takina’s heat pheromones got into her system as she planted a kiss onto those collarbones. She gently pulled at Takina’s shirt making sure she didn’t move her body much as she removed the shirt, and threw it somewhere. Her eyes glowed as she saw the growing bruise on Takina’s stomach, and couldn’t help but gently plant a kiss on it.  “Grr…”

Takina gently touched Chisato’s cheek with her uninjured hand, lazily closing her eyes as she felt Chisato plant another gentle kiss on her bruised stomach. “It’s okay.”

Chisato nodded. She knew. They both knew the dangers their jobs held, and it was something Chisato could never blame. Injuries, scratches, and wounds were part of the job.

She swiftly pulled down on Takina’s shorts, together with her underwear throwing it somewhere as Chisato pushed Takina’s legs open, touching her core with two fingers. Her wetness was undeniably because of her heat. Looking at Takina’s reactions, she gently slipped in a finger.

“Hmm… Ah… Chisato… I want… you.” Takina opened her eyes as she lazily touched Chisato’s face. “It’s… fine, so…”

Chisato nodded. She removed the shirt she was wearing as well as the shorts and underwear as her fully erect member swung out. She turned to the side table’s drawer, but felt a warm hand touch her thigh.

“I want to feel you…” Takina panted as she looked into Chisato’s eyes.

Chisato nodded once again and kissed Takina as she positioned her member onto her entrance. She nudged Takina’s lips to open as she slid in her tongue while her hips pushed in very slowly. She gently supported Takina’s left hand around her shoulders with her right as they kissed while her hips pushed inside her.

“Nm… Ah…! Chisato… You’re here…” Takina closed her eyes as she squeezed onto Chisato’s hard member inside her reaching deep, her whole length buried. “Why are you so quiet…?”

“…I can’t seem to wrap my head around what happened today… I almost lost you…” Chisato wrapped her arms around Takina’s body as she rested her head on her shoulder. “If I was a few moments late… What could have happened to you…?”

They stayed in that position for a while as Takina gently caressed Chisato’s hair with her good hand.

“If he had done something to you…” Chisato’s body heated up as her territorial instincts kicked in.

“Chi- Chisato… Wait…” Takina’s breathe hitched at her throat as her body heated up. It was Chisato’s pheromones. They were strong, and it made her heat feel more intense, but… she didn’t hate it. “Are you… in a rut…?”

“R- Rut?” Chisato blushed as she looked at Takina’s face. She hadn’t realized. She had been speaking her heart, and her territorial instincts had taken over her mind. “S- Sorry… I…”

“Nn…” Takina closed her eyes, slowly grinding her hips at Chisato’s. “I… don’t hate this side of you but.. as I expected. I love the usual you, the most.” She opened her eyes as she met concerned and loving red orbs staring into her eyes.

“Hah… Takina… Can I move?” Chisato asked, as if unsure.

“Why are you… bigger…? Ah!” Takina grabbed onto Chisato’s back as she felt her pull out a little and push in again. “Nn…. Mm… Ah… Chisato… come?”

It wasn’t the first time Chisato had gotten into a rut, but it was odd for her to receive one at the start. Usually once Takina’s heat was in full, Chisato gets her rut on the third or fourth day, and they make love for hours with only a few swigs of water in between.

The bed creaked as Chisato continued to thrust into Takina, planting a kiss mark onto those white skin. Takina clawed onto Chisato’s back, feeling some pain throb at her hand. Chisato suddenly reached for Takina’s left hand, putting it in front of her as she held onto it gently, kissing it while the pace of her thrusts didn’t slow down.

“Ah! Hah! Mm! Chisato!” Takina clamped onto Chisato’s member as she came the first time, immediately followed by a second as Chisato doesn’t let up her pace. “Ah… Hah!”

The bed creaked louder as Chisato continued her pace. Takina touched Chisato’s face with her uninjured hand, touching her eyebrows as a sweat trickled down her temple. She traced her finger down Chisato’s cheekbone, before gently pushing her upper body a little so she could kiss her.

“Chisato…” Takina’s voice was gentle. She watched Chisato close her eyes as she felt warm liquid spurt inside her, overflowing outside but she didn’t slow down. “Ahn… Mm…! Hah…”

“Takina, Takina.” Chisato continued pumping  as they stared into each other’s eyes sharing a heated evening of passion.

“Ah!” Chisato and Takina both stopped moving as Takina’s hips shook while Chisato came inside her for the nth time that evening.

“Chisato… I’m… tired…” Takina panted as they finally took a break.

“Yeah… But you need to drink one more pain killer for tonight, okay?” Chisato nodded as she lazily grabbed a bottle of water from the plastic, not moving away from Takina. She took a swig at it and pressed the medicine onto Takina’s lips before passing the water into her mouth. Takina swallowed the medicine, and looked at Chisato. “More water?”

“No, I’m okay. Thank you…” Takina closed her eyes as she felt Chisato slowly pull out of her, the watery sounds embarrassing the both of them, no matter how many times they’ve done it. “Ah… Mm…” A sweet voice came out of Takina’s mouth as Chisato’s still hard member fully exited her body.

“Good night, Takina. I love you.” Chisato gently gave Takina a kiss on the forehead as the black haired girl fell into a calm sleep. “Now… What do I do with you?” She stared at her own still energetic member and sighed. “I guess I’ll clean us both up a little…”

The two of them has had a long day. After cleaning up a little, Chisato pulled Takina into her arms, covering the both of them with a warm blanket as fatigue caught up to the both of them.

~*

Takina stirred as she sleepily opened her eyes to the dimly lit room, brightened by the sunshine through the windows. She turned over to her side and found her faced being smothered into two large mounds of flesh.

“Chisa…” Takina struggled to lift her head up as she felt a hot hard member brush along her thigh. “…to?”

The still sleeping Chisato suddenly turned, facing up, while Takina watched her move. With her steady breathing, Takina was at least sure she was still sleeping, but…? She trailed her eyes downwards the tented section of their shared blanket.

Takina gently got up and slowly pulled at the blanket covering Chisato’s body. After so many times of actually embracing each other, it was likely the very first time she has seen Chisato completely naked outside of bath times.

Purple eyes curiously looked at the standing hard member in front of her. “I can’t believe this large thing always went inside me…” She whispered to herself as she stared at it.

Takina crawled near Chisato’s thighs as she gave it a closer look. She peeked at Chisato’s sleeping face, then to her small shoulders, and those big breasts.

“Such a feminine body… except for this, I suppose.” Takina gently poked the hard member with an index finger. It moved sidewards, springy, as a little bit of fluid came out from the top. “Hm…?”

Takina blew some air on Chisato’s member as she watched it slowly grow harder and larger, as if veins were about to pop out of it. With her good hand, she gently grabbed it.

“It’s hot…” Swallowing, she gently stroked it up and down, rubbing her palm lightly on the sensitive and wet head, using those fluids to lubricate the rest of the long shaft. More of the clear liquid came out of its head as Takina continued to rub it up and down. “So you could still feel stimulation even while you’re asleep…”

~*

Chisato suddenly became aware of her upper body being exposed to the cold, followed by a certain warmth lying down the partially on her thighs.

“Gah…!” Chisato suddenly opened her eyes as she felt cold sweat on her back, and a stifling, and building sensation at the bottom of her crotch…? “Ta- Takina?!”

“Gwood Mornigh, Chishato.” Takina greeted from in between Chisato’s legs, the tip of her hard member inside that warm and small mouth. “Are you feeling good?” She tucked her hair behind her left ear with her bandaged hand as continued lightly licking and sucking onto Chisato’s member.

“Ah, ah… Hah… That’s mega… hot…” Chisato felt her stomach tighten, her eyes dilating as her pheromones released unconsciously. “T- Takina…”

“Yesh?” Takina spoke, mouth still on her sensitive head. Her hair slowly fell from behind her left ear, as sweat trickled down her temple. She placed her hair behind her ear once more before attempting to swallow more of her erect member.

“Ahhh. That’s… Ngh… Aaah…” Chisato covered her face with her hands as she felt her shaft being massaged up and down, and that mouth slowly engulfing almost half of her large member. “Ahhhhh, no, no, no… Takina. Wait… Stop… I’m coming…!”

“Hm?” Takina circled her tongue around the head before lightly sucking on it as suddenly a burst of liquid pushed itself into her mouth. “Mmgh!?”

“Aaaaahhh… Hah… Hah…” Chisato closed her eyes as she panted while she came. After she had finished, she felt Takina’s mouth move away from the head.  “Ah! Ta- Takina! Spit it out!” She sat up from the bed as she tried to reach for Takina’s shoulders.

Takina blinked at her as she swallowed and wiped her mouth with her good hand. “Hm?”

“Gaaaaaaaaahhh.” Chisato covered her face with both of her hands. She decided to just lie back down in bed as she tried to process what had just happened in the split moment of her waking and her quaking. “Takina…”

“Did you feel good? I must say… it was an interesting experience… and taste.” Takina though about it a little, a hand under her chin. “It’s a little salty…? I’m not quite sure how to describe it. It’s yours so I suppose I do not really mind it…”

“…Thank you for your food report…….” Chisato spoke weakly as she sighed and removed her hands from

her face. “…Why did you do that…?”

“I woke up and it was standing, so I thought I’d help out?” Takina blinked as she tilted her head to one side. “As expected, it was the place where your alpha scent was the strongest.”

“Of course it was…” Chisato closed her eyes. “Where did you learn that from…?”

“Learn? I just sort of did what made it become harder… or which part made you respond even when you’re asleep.” Takina turned to look at Chisato’s hard member. “…And as I thought you’re still in a rut…?”

“Don’t say it…” Chisato covered her face with her hands. Suddenly, she felt the bed shift. Takina’s weight from her side was suddenly gone, until she felt knees on either side of her waist. “Huh?”

Takina sat on Chisato’s thighs as she looked at the hard member just front of her. “I wonder if it’ll go inside…”

“Ta- Takina!? Wait! Wait, wait, wait–” Chisato tried to sit up but Takina only grabbed her shoulders, used her as balance as she stood on her knees and positioned her core onto Chisato’s member. “Takina-san, this is really really…”

Takina used her good hand to gently grab Chisato, and positioned it onto her throbbing core. Sitting down slowly as it swiftly went inside her.

“Nnn… Ahh…. It’s… big…” Takina pushed Chisato forward, making her lie down on the bed once again as she stopped inserting her hard member half way to catch her breathe. Then she continued sitting back down until they were connected hip to hip. “…Mm… Hah… It’s finally… in…”

“Kuh… It’s warm… Ah… Don’t squeeze too much…” Chisato panted as well as she gently reached for Takina’s bandaged hand. “Takina… Why…?”

“While I was… touching you, my body started feeling hot and… I wanted, you, here…” Takina turned away as she watched Chisato kiss her injured hand. “Sh- Shall I move?”

“If you’re fine…? Don’t over do it…?” Chisato closed her eyes as Takina lifted her hips a little and grinded. “A- Ahh… That’s good…”

“Ah! It goes in so… deep… Chisato… Chisato…” Takina panted as she continued to bounce on top of her. Her hands exploring around Chisato’s chest, shoulders, stomach.

“Takina… Takina… Wah… That’s sexy…” Chisato swallowed as Takina looked down at her from on top of her. Those sharp amethyst orbs staring her down as she moved up and down. Chisato reached her other hand to Takina’s waist, slowly trailing up that stomach, touching her breast.

“Chisato… Chisato…!” Takina slouched forward as she continued to bounce on top of her. “Wait… Did you… get bigger…?”

Chisato panted as she gently rested Takina’s injured hand on her shoulder, and her other around Takina’s waist as she started moving her own hips to meet Takina’s rhythm. “Maybe… I am on a rut…!”

“Ah! Deep…!” Takina rested her face onto Chisato’s chest as they both increased their speed, reaching climax almost at the same time.

They stopped for a moment in silence until Chisato sat up, pulling Takina’s arms around her neck as they stared at each other. 

“Chisato…?”

“Takina…” Chisato rested her forehead onto Takina’s chest.  “…Can I bite you again?”

“Again?” Takina caught her breathe as she looked at Chisato’s face. “I’m fine with it but… why?”

“…I still feel uneasy about yesterday.” Chisato furrowed her eyebrows as she looked up to Takina’s face.  “…I thought that maybe…  then…”

Takina gently kissed Chisato’s lips as she smiled at her.  “…Do what you feel would make you feel at ease? You’re in a rut, aren’t you?”

Chisato swallowed. “Where do you learn these from…?” She gently pulled out of Takina’s core as some of their fluids suddenly flowed out in between them. Takina sat down on bed as Chisato  positioned behind her. “…Can I do it from the back?”

“…Do… what you’d like?” Takina turned to her. There were suddenly strong arms wrapped around her waist as Chisato placed a kiss on her nape. Takina closed her eyes as Chisato gently pulled onto her waist, putting her on all fours.

“Can you support yourself with one hand?” Chisato asked as Takina nodded. She gently took Takina’s left hand into her own folding her over Takina’s own stomach as she gently inserted her hot member inside her from behind. “Ah… It’s… hot…”

“Mm…! Ah…” Takina closed her eyes as Chisato’s breathe hovered around her nape while she felt that long and hard thing go inside her. “Hah…” She let a moan out as teeth dug onto her nape, once again, as a renewal of their bind.

Chisato started to move faster, in and out of her, as she licked the blood off her nape, sucking on it a little as she pumped at her. “Takina… I love you…”

“I love you too… Chisato!”

The two of them quickly reached climax as they continued their  reaffirmation of love and bind through the morning.

~*

“It’s you, right?” A small nine six year old Chisato grinned as she looked up to Yoshimatsu Shinji. “The person who’s going to help me!”

Shinji smiled at her as he answered. “You have it wrong, I’m just a staff member here.”

“No way! Nobody here wears a fashionable suit like that!”

“How can I show you my gratitude for helping me?”

“Fulfill your grand mission. For you, I became a savior for the time being.”

“A savior, huh?”

Takina opened her eyes as the dream faded out. She blinked a few times before turning around once more as she laid down on Chisato’s arm that she was using as a pillow. “Were those Chisato’s memories?”

She touched Chisato’s cheeks as she solemnly looked at her. Chisato opened her eyes as she felt  Takina’s touch on her face.

“Takina…? Good morning…” Chisato smiled without opening her eyes as she wrapped her arms around her tightly.  She looked at the side table and checked the time that was around two in the afternoon. “Ah… but it’s not morning anymore…”

“Chisato… I think I just saw your memories as a child.” Takina looked at Chisato, her eyes round and curious. “Do you think this is what they called a true bind? When you sometimes dream about  your alpha’s memories, and as you might to me…?”

“That could be true…” Chisato blinked. “What did you dream about?”

Takina hesitated. “…Yoshimatsu, your savior…” As she expected, Chisato’s expression suddenly turned into a frown. “…Young Chisato was very cute, however.”

“I was a cute child, wasn’t I?” Chisato immediately turned into a smile.

“Yes. Now, you’ve turned into a beautiful…” She watched Chisato’s face as her eyes widened and sparkled like a dog. “and annoying woman.”

“…You didn’t need to say that other one, did you?” Chisato pouted as Takina laughed.

“I wonder what would our child look like…” Takina smiled softly as she touched Chisato’s jaw.

Chisato hugged her tightly, gently rubbing her hips onto Takina’s thighs. “…Want to try for one?” 

“…Once we’re married, I suppose?” Takina gave her a teasing smile.

“Then I’ll give you a marriage proposal that will blow you away.” Chisato gave her a big smile as she nuzzled her face.

“I’ll be looking forward to it.” Takina smiled.

The two of them smiled at each other, and a promise to a future.

“It was odd of you to get into a rut for a long time like that.” Takina suddenly spoke as they ate a proper meal for the first time that day. “Usually it’d just be for a while during my heat, and disappears as so my heat does.”

Chisato choked on her water as it exploded on her face. “Don’t just say something like that without a warning.” She wiped the water that smiled on her face, and on the table. “I didn’t know either…”

“Well… I did not… dislike it.” Takina looked away as she took a sip from her water with a blush.  “You were more gentle than usual too… I heard that alphas in a rut tend to be wilder and rougher.”

“Because… You were injured… I found you like that, and you were bleeding. I just couldn’t get the image out of my head… I had to be gentle or I’ll open your wound…” Chisato looked away as she pouted. “What would I have done if… If…”

“Chisato…” Drowned in her thoughts, Chisato didn’t even notice Takina was already next to her. She hugged her tightly gently caressing her head to her chest. “It’s… okay. I’m safe, and that’s all that matters, right?”

Chisato nodded onto her chest as she wrapped her arms around Takina’s waist.

“Chisato.” Takina moved her hands onto Chisato’s nape as Chisato looked up at her. “…If we managed to create a child… Shall we retire?” 

Chisato blinked. “Eh?”

“…Let’s raise our child away from all these violence. Let’s live a normal life.”

“…I never thought I’d hear you say these words…”

“Because I only thought about it today.”

“Is this a proposal?”

“…From me, yes. I’d still be waiting for yours.”

“I’ll surprise you, with a mega big wow.”

“I’ll be waiting for it.”

“Takina, thank you. I love you.”

“I love you too, Chisato.”

While waiting for new orders from the DA, Chisato and Takina stayed indoors for the rest of the day. With Takina’s heat ending in a day, as Yamagishi-sensei predicted.

The two of them sat in the living room as they watched one of the newer films, a sequel to some of Chisato’s favorite films. Chisato eyed Takina as she slowly moved to the edge of the couch, those thin fingers reaching for a banana at the center of the living room table.

Chisato blinked as Takina held that banana in her hand. Those thin fingers gentle peeled the banana, and once it was peeled, Takina suddenly turned around to face Chisato, tucking her hair behind her ear as she took a small bite out of its head.

Consciously, Chisato grabbed a pillow from behind her and immediately rested it on her lap as Takina blinked at her, chewing the banana she just bit very slowly. Chisato felt her cheeks heat up at the action as Takina opened her mouth once again taking a small bite before licking her lips and chewing.

“Chisato?”

“Y- Yeah?”

“Are you okay?”

“Y- Yeah…”

Takina took another bite of her banana still watching Chisato who had her mouth open, somehow imitating her small bites at the banana. She looked at her confused before opening her mouth, hesitating to bite the banana, and then completely putting it away from her mouth. “Chisato? I think your pheromones are releasing. Is your rut back?”

Chisato swallowed unconsciously as she shook her head. “I’m fine. I think not, at least?”

“Okay. Why are you hugging that pillow tightly? Does your stomach hurt?”

Chisato swallowed once more as Takina looked down at the pillow protecting her shame from standing in full display. “N- No. I’m just, I just felt like, hugging, the pillow.”

“If you say so…” Takina only gave her one last look before she turned back to the movie again and continued eating her banana.

It was at that moment that Chisato realized that her cute innocent girlfriend, has started to become even more and more dangerous to her health.
