@Dark CloudEmpusa ignored poor Dexterβs squeals as she watched the wolf woman lock eyes on Seiji. When the Lust demon moved within the boyβs personal space, a small ripple in space right above each of Empusaβs shoulders--small enough not to stand out, but certainly noticeable to Dexter--began to buzz with sparks and embers. He thought he could hear the rhythmic clang of hammers somewhere, but it was like the sound was so far awayβ¦
"Aurora I-I think? What is the problem, wait? Oh!" suddenly his eyes looked more curious than fearful as a tiny smirk danced upon his face.
"Is that your human? Why do you care, Lilith told me you go throu-" his growing confidence withered with the glare Empusa shot him.
βYes. That is
MY Contractor. Murakami Seiji.β And just as she claimed him, both she and Dexter watched the wolfwoman grab Seijiβs face and lean in close.
Those ripples in space sprouted two wickedly sharp sword-points. Empusa finally did let go of Dexterβs shoulder, but it was because she seemed to be taking aim with a gesture. Indeed, if things went any further, it seemed clear there would be deadly violence within the Homeβ¦
But what happened next caused Empusaβs half-forged blades to shatter from the shock.
@MetalWeightThe wolfgirlβs eyes locked onto him immediately. She stood up straighter, and as her shoulders pulled back that chest of hers threatened to block Seijiβs entire field of vision. Then it
did block most of his vision, as she stepped so close she practically ran into him.
My plan was calculated..."Worried? Oh, no, no you shouldn't be worried, never be worried. At least not with me, I'd never hurt a human like you, not unlike
other demons..." He could practically see the hunger in those eyes. Her tail looked like it was going fast enough to have its own air current.
...but boy, am I bad at math.Seijiβs eyes widened and a nervous sweat broke out on his forehead and palms. Those big fuzzy mitts of hers latched onto his face, and cold fear ran through his whole body. She pulled him closer, crouching slightly less than she had with Dexter, and he wasnβt sure what was scarier--trying to meet those eyes, or daring to peer into that dark rift inside her shirt.
Her thumbs caressed the side of his face "You humans are so fragile and innocent, itβs such a shame you die so oftenβ¦β
Iβm not a furry, Iβm not a furry, Iβm NOT a furryβ¦Monster girls donβt count as furry though, do they?β...a dangerous world isn't it? That shouldn't happen to you, these demons, Hell itself, its all so
evil and
controlling, wanting to destroy anything with innocence and lifeβ¦β
He tried to focus on her snout, instead of her eyes. He wondered if her nose was slightly moist to the touch, like dogs back on Earth--Wait.
Iβve got one shot. Itβs my only hope. Gotta be quick...gotta be resolved! Acceptance of death is the way of the warrior!βYou should stay with me, be free with me, be
safe with me..." The cleavage was getting closer! Any moment now heβd be in a new, marshmallowy Hell! Now or never! Do or die! Heβd have to use
that technique!
βAh, Iβ¦β his voice was somewhat slurred, thanks to her hands--paws?--squishing his cheeks together. But the tall seductress might notice something--the humanβs eyebrows furrowed, and his look sharpened. βI
could do that. But, hear me out?β He shrugged his shoulders, in the process pulling both hands out of his pockets. βI present: a counterpoint.β
The movement was too smooth for the wolfgirl to realize what happened until it was too late. Like he had done it a thousand upon a thousand times. Bruce Lee once said, βI fear not the man with 10,000 techniques, I fear the man who has practiced one technique 10,000 times.β At this very moment, Seiji unleashed one technique.
His fingers settled, oh so gently, warmly, into the fur against her throat. Right under her chin. And he...
scritched. Just like he always used to do with his Shiba at home.
Empusa, Dexter, and anyone else who saw what happened would find themselves hard pressed to explain it later. And when the wolf woman came to, all she would see was Seiji walking away from her, both hands back in his pockets. Nonchalantly, he strode over to his Contractor and the small red devil. A confident swagger filled his gait.
Shit shit shit shit gotta go fast!@Dark CloudβSay, Emmy?β The demoness turned her slack jaw towards him, but her ears and wingtips noticeably perked up. βWhat say we explore with the others, huh?β Seiji glanced over his shoulder. β
Quickly.β And then he looked back at Dexter. βCβmon, uh...bro? Tag along with us.β He jabbed a thumb at the staircase where that new guy in the dark robes was also rapidly ascending. βOtherwise youβll be the
only one of the guys still down hereβ¦β Now he jerked his head towards the still stunned furry demon, with a look that clearly said all that needed to be said about that prospect.
βSeiji, would you do
that for me too--kyah~β‘!β The human grabbed Empusaβs hand, and began a
rapidly casual walk up the staircase. She practically floated behind him, her wings aflutter, as she blushed from his aggressive contact and gave Dexter an absentminded farewell wave.
