City of Kins: Yingmu
Hello everyone TomboyJessie13 here, this my peeps is the LONGEST CHAPTER I've ever written, part 2 of the Jun saga but I hope you enjoyed it, after weeks of suffering Distractions, depression, and Art Program, it is finally done. If you don't like it I understand but please don't be rude or hateful about it.
Chapter 9
City of Kins: Yingmu
Soon the light began to tone down, Allen opened his eyes and saw a new surrounding, the sky was blue with clouds up above him, and he's standing on a stoned path that seemed sloped.
"Where are we?"
"I recognized this place anywhere!" Nemesis said in surprised, "We're standing in "The Great Wall of Mukoku"! One of the most famous landmarks of Mukoku.".
"Your absolutely right!" Margarita exclaimed. "...but, wasn't the wall supposed to be red? Why is it a gray?"
"Oh this is the same wall, just different." Jun said, finally showing up.
"What do you mean by that, Jun?" Allen asked.
"What I mean is we're in an alternate universe, just like with Marie and her Capriccio Academy."
"And what universe is this?" Gallerian asked, brushing the dust off his coat.
"This universe is basically made from the ruins of a world that's the same as the one you lived in, same cultures, languages, clothing, etc, etc, the only differences is that this place doesn't rely on magic or demons, the people have natural hair and eye colors so no blue hair or red eyes except when you dye one's hair or wear wigs or contacts, the countries's names and shapes are also different and so are the cities and political leaders." Allen and the sinners are left dumbfounded and confused, tilting their heads to the side. "Here's something that you maybe able to come to terms with." He pulled out to pictures of what appears to be countries and their respective flags. Riliane was the one to point out:
"That's Elphegort and that's..."jurrrrrrr-muuuhhhhhh-neeeeeeeee"..."Germany"...what country is that?"
"It's this universe's Elphegort...well...technically it's not here but y'know...reminders of it, only the country's populace is not green headed."
"Oooooooooooooooooooooooooh." Now they understand.
"As for the wall, this place is known as "The Great Wall of China"...I happened to be the descendant of it's creator."
"You're kidding us, right?" Gallerian asked.
"No, and judging by the scenery, the location we're on is "Yanmen Pass", which will help us get off the wall."
"Why not sent us to the gates?" Riliane asked.
"No need, we're near it, and it's a short cut to the place that I colonized: "Yingmu"!"
"Yingmu?" Allen asked.
"Yes, follow me." Jun walks down the path until he reached down the stairs until he's nearby the gate to a long pile of grass, he opened a path in the woods kilometers from where he's standing. "Come on you guys!" They're a bit skeptical of this Yingmu place, Margarita ran to where Jun is and began running with him hand in hand.
"Margarita! w-wait!" Allen called out as he followed her down the path. "You don't even know what Yingmu is!"
"Come on, we better go before my brother hurts himself." Riliane proclaimed, the sinners began chasing after the three people down the wall's stairs to the the gate then in a a small grassy path where Jun, Margarita, and Allen are roaming on.
"UGH! My pants are getting soaked." Sateriasis groaned.
"Shut up about yourself, Duke." Gallerian snapped.
"You obviously needed a nap." Nemesis sneered.
"Knock it off you three, we're gonna lose them if we don't hurry up!" Banica said while running in the grassy field, holding up her dress. Kayo said nothing while holding her foot wear in both her hands, they start running into the opening in the woods until they're in a vast green forest, there lays a long bricked path that leads to a red gate with green and gold decorations on top, they began walking on a brick path that led to that said gate, on the other side of the gates is a long red bridge Allen's currently running on that crosses over a river that leads to a brownish red wall with another gate on it, the sign on top reads "Yingmu" in Mukokunese.
"Come on!" Jun called out on the other side of the bridge, they did as what the Hybrid said, once they crossed over the large bridge, Jun began to walk to the guards in front of the gate, he said something in Mukokunese. The guards nodded and stepped aside. They opened the gates to which shows a area with red lanterns above and relativity large streets going in three different directions. One street ahead of them is a line of shops and houses with white walls and black roofs, ahead of that is a red bridge over a river and that the bridge leads to a slopped mountain with another set of buildings and a palace colored red, green, and gold...that could be the next district. The second street to the left is a small port that allows people to get around the city via boat and river. And the third to the right is another sloped hill that is covered in stairs, led by a line of red lanterns, leading all the way to a forest of bamboo. The green trees surrounding the place as far as the eye could see, Allen and the sinners are in complete awe by the new surroundings.
"Sweet mother of Held." Nemesis said in awe.
"This place is gorgeous." Kayo said next.
"Thank you." Jun said with a smile as he stepped forward then faced the sinners, "Welcome to my colony: Yingmu!"
"Wow...this...this is...MARVELOUS!" Allen beamed up, his eyes are sparkling in delight, seems out of character but at this moment, it shouldn't matter. "This city is extraordinary! How is all of this made!?"
"I'll explain once we get to my palace."
"Your palace?" Sateriasis asked as he was checking the decorations.
"Why don't you remember? I'm the emperor of this world. Now come, we have so little to do and so much time...wait, scratch that...reverse it." He spread his black wings and began floating to the bridge ahead of them, as the sinners followed them, they came across people in traditional to western clothing that looked like that could be worn be people of 7th century, some gave friendly greetings, others gave weird stares, and they come in different colors of hair; mainly raven, brunette, blonde, and greenette. Sateriasis caught glimpse of some of the women there and tried getting to them, only for Kayo to drag him by the ponytail.
"Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow."
They climbed over the bridge that leads to a long stair case up to the next district, it took them eight minutes to climb up to the district, the ones who are now tired are Gallerian, Nemesis, Margarita, Riliane, and Sateriasis.
"Oh you guys are lazy." Jun teased.
"These stairs are too looooooooooooong!" Riliane panted in exhaustion."
"Alright we'll wait for a few minutes." They rested by the buildings. Kayo looked around and said:
"These people look extravagant up here."
"Oh this is the Aristocratic Quarters, it's where the royalty, the nobility, and the gentry live, for that they deserve a proper view of the city and the great wall from here."
"I happen to be a Duke." Sateriasis said resting his legs.
"Ok, I feel a little better." Nemesis said trying to stand up, they then continued on to the Palace in the Aristocratic quarters until they reached the entrance of it, they were greeted by a lady-in-waiting, Sateriasis tried flirting with her but was smacked in the head by Riliane and dragged him by the ponytail again. they climbed up a few more stairs until they're at a giant red door. "Behold, the throne room." They looked inside, it was a very glorious site to see, the was are red and decorated in paintings and encrusted in gold and jades.
"This room can make someone feel like a king." Gallerian said, drooling at the site and his hands are staring to look grabby.
"But of course." He flew to the thrown from across the room and sat on his seat there. "So Servant of Evil, what was that question from earlier?"
"Oh right, how did all of this happen"
"It's simple, I was born from a demon mother and a father who it half angel from his fath-"
"No I mean the city."
"Oh right: A few thousand years after the wall was built, I was born and began living a life on my own, transporting from one dimension to another until I came across the Sun God during the second period, when the world started to fall under the influence of HER, there were 102 kins plus 4 gods surviving, however, the 30 kins weren't willing to go with your boss "Sickle" because they believe they can never find a new home, so I decided to take care of them while "Sickle" kept the other 72 kins who are willing to go, I took them with me along with a chunk of land and a piece of the Great Wall into this dimension and we all pulled together to construct Yingmu, preserving it's wildlife and cleaning it's water, but it is out of view from other realms to avoid ridicule, nation wide panic, and the many wars that may occur in this kingdom...so you see Allen, this city is a sanctuary for kins and demons alike, these people here are the descendants of the 30 kin I rescued, most of them are 12th generation."
"Wow." Allen said in bewilderment.
"Interesting story." Riliane said.
"This city and the palace are enormous, you mind if I take a look around this city?" Sateriasis asked while looking at the balcony.
"But of course, I brought you guys here to enjoy yourselves!" Jun replied with pride. "Wait, you guys are gonna need maps to get around, it is a big city and they're rivers to get to places." He summoned eight maps and gave them one each.
"Um Jun, if it's all the same to you, I think I'll stay behind in the palace, see what inside this place." Gallerian said clearing his throat, Nemesis gave a confusing glare at him.
"Suit yourself, but don't be causing any trouble." Jun replied, seeing Gallerian started smiling in glee and paced into another room by Jun's throne, "...I think I should send someone to look after that guy."
"I will, I know the Greedy Bastard best." Nemesis spoke up. "Besides I like to see what's in this palace anyways."
"Great idea." He concurred, Nemesis then followed her Dad down the same path he took.
"I wanna see if there are food down there in the city." Banica said as she ran to the exit.
"Maybe they're some women that needs chatting." Sateriasis follows the same suit.
"Don't do anything stupid, Sateriasis!" Allen called out as he followed him.
"I'm gonna have an encounter with the Nobility." Riliane said, straightening her dress.
"I thought I saw a clothing shop near by the river, I want to see it for myself." Kayo left, leaving only Margarita and Jun behind in the throne room.
"I'm by myself." She squeaked.
"Hehehe, Don't worry your pretty head, Margarita." He chuckled. "I got something to show you."
"Oh?"
~Meanwhile with Gallerian and Nemesis~
Gallerian was walking through the long red hallways, every where he looked he can see art and gold in it's purest form all around him. "That "room" is gonna be somewhere around here, every palace has one." He thought to himself completely unaware of Nemesis following him from behind. Soon, he stopped when he saw something that caught his eye, a large door with a key hole that was glowing gold from the inside, he walked over there and peaked inside the hole, he let out a surprised gasp when he saw what's inside. "THERE IT IS!" He then proceed to open the door, the room was filled with gold bars, gold coins, gold necklaces, gold bracelets, gems, stones, jewels, everything in that one room: "the Royal Treasury". Gallerian's eyes began to gleam in fiendish greed as he began drooling, he ran inside the room and began stuffing gold and jewels into his pockets.
Nemesis came out of her hiding spot and saw her father's avaricious descent into madness being performed before yelling: "HEY!" Gallerian turned to face is hell spawn.
"Gold...GOLD!..HEH HEH HEH! IT'S EVERYWHERE! HA HA HA!" He laughed manically, he was completely mad with Greed as he fell back and began making a snow angel out of gold.
"So this is how low you can get? stealing gold from foreign royalty!? I expected this type of behavior back home but this?...you're a complete monster!" Nemesis barked at him, he was not listening to her as he puts on golden rings on his fingers, she began stomping towards him in puffed up irritation.
"Damn it, Dad, stop it!" she slapped the gold out of his hand. "This is exactly why the Master of the Hellish Yard hates you, you greedy pig!"
"This is enough to cure Michelle's legs!" He puts on a golden crown.
"First off: It's foreign currency, it's worthless in our world. Secondly: Michelle's been dead for twenty-freaking-years!" He continued ignoring her, she began strangling him by the neck. "STOP STEALING THE GOLD YOU ANIMAL!" Just then they heard a low growl, they froze in place.
"Did you hear that?" Gallerian whispered, they saw some gold shifting to the right.
"...Y-yes." Nemesis squeaked in fear as they saw more gold shifting to the left, the floor began rumbling under their feet. "Wh-wh-what di-did y-you d-do!?" Nemesis stuttered as the ground shakes from left to right.
"I-I d-don't kn-know!" Just then a mountain of gold started rising in front of them, emerging from the gold and jewels was a large dark green snout, two large brown horns sticking out of the top of the head, growling through it's large white teeth, and a pair of bloody red eyes with black and gold slits.
"Is that what I think it is!?" Gallerian squeaked in a high pitched voice, the creature lets out a loud roar at them.
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWG!
"DRAGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!" They both screamed in unison as they ran out of the room, the dragon began chasing them.
"THIS IS YOUR FAULT, YOU AND YOUR STUPID YELLING!" Gallerian yelled at her.
"MY FAULT!? YOUR THE GREEDY BASTARD THAT WAS STEALING IT'S GOLD!" She yelled back, trying to avoid the snapping jaws of the Green Dragon.
~Meanwhile with Kayo and Banica~
Kayo and Banica are on a boat, streaming through the rivers of town in hopes to find something they want, Kayo hoping to make it to that clothing store she spotted and Banica a string of eaterys. "Mmmmmm, that smell is getting stronger Kayo, can you smell it?" Banica said with anticipation.
Kayo sniffed the air. "Mmmm you're right, it's smells delicious."
"I knew you come to my side."
"Well maybe a small bite, there is this one clothing store around here and I must get to it!"
"Alright." They finally made it to where Banica wanted to go to, they thanked the man who owns the boat and began walking to their destination.
"So many shops and food places but not one that your looking for, Duchess."
"I prefer to be called "Duke" Kayo, It's more fitting for me than Duchess, and you don't have to be formal." They kept walking down the streets filled with busy people until they reached a stoned staircase. "HAAA! THERE IT IS!" Banica said as she ran to an open stand labeled under "Mei's", She looked at different dishes being served, some of them aren't even from the country they're standing in so Yingmu must made a small trade with another realm.
"So many to choose from I must say."
Banica looked inside to see some management, she then saw a sign next to the food that reads: "Manager out for the day, please take one glaze Cornish hen as a token of our apologies, - The manager's son, Mei-Shang"
"You can read Mukokunese, Banica?"
"Yes, I was with this one lady possessing my descendant, Germaine, we traveled through the Akuna region to Jakoku centuries before you were born...what? I maybe in a glass but I can still take language lessons." Banica took one Cornish hen and took a bite out of it. "MMMM! OH GOD IT'S DELICIOUS!" Banica and her mouth are practically in bliss. "You gotta try it, Sudou!"
"O-ok." Kayo took one of the hens and took a small nibble. "Mmmm! Your right it is delicious! and the meat is so tender."
"Nom nom nom."
"I'll take this hen to go, I got a clothing store to get to, you try to stay out of trouble Banica." She took a small box to go and went on her way.
"Ok!" Banica said she grabbed a pair of chop sticks and began to stuff her face with the delicious delicacies that was in front of her, despite what the sign said. Kayo walked up the stairs until she reached her desired location; the clothing store.
"There it is!" She ran up to it, business seems to be booming there, Kayo squeezed past the crowd and walked inside the place. "Ooooh." She was amazed by the patterns hanging on the walls, no two set of fabrics are alike. "These are gorgeous." She said as she rubs a piece of fabric between her hands, such beautiful silks makes the Tailor's heart jump with joy and excitement, even when she's outwardly calm looking, but her thoughts were disturbed but an argument between a shopper and the store's owner.
"Ah! This dress has a hole in it! You told me it was brand new." A middle-aged woman said wearing a lavender cheongsam , scorning an older man.
"I'm dreadfully sorry, I-I don't know how it got there!"
"I've waited weeks for this dress and this is the result?! Your a pathetic excuse of a clothes designer!"
"Excuse me, Maybe I can fix it?" Kayo said, intervening.
"Young lady, this is none of your-" The old man was talking before being cut off be the middle-aged woman.
"Well what are you waiting for? Fix it, I want to see what you can do."
"Right." Kayo took out her eastern pair of scissors from her green obi and grabbed a nearby needle and thread and began patching the hole in a decent speed, snipping and cutting the thread on the dress.
"Oh!" The old man was amazed by Kayo's skill in tailoring and snipping.
"Done."
"The dress is fixed!" The middle aged woman exclaimed with a smile. "Almost as if the hole was never there!"
"My god woman, how did you do it!?"
"It's a talent of mine, I was taught by my mother to tailor."
"What's your name?"
"Kayo, Sudou Kayo of Enbizaka...EH!?" She was then grabbed by the forearms by the old man.
"OH KAYO, I MUST HAVE YOU AS MY TAILOR!"
"HUH!? B-B-BUT S-SIR I-"
"OH MY GOD!" Someone outside the store yelled out, everyone including Kayo walked out and saw that a food stand was in complete shambles with smoke and grease coming out, as Kayo remembers correctly that is the same stand that Banica was eating at. Out of the rubble was the said epicurean covered in food, grease, and twigs.
"This is the best food ever!" Banica said as she was eating a piece of lumber covered in sauce.
"YOU MONSTER! YOU DESTROYED MY FATHER'S STAND!" A young man yelled angrily at her, that could be Mei-Shang from the sign.
"Your father's food is amazing though!"
"GET OUT! GET OUT!" The man grabbed a piece of lumber and began to chase her, causing Kayo to face palm.
"Why Banica, why?"
"You know her?" The Middle-aged woman asked.
"Sssssssort of..."
"...Soooooooooo will you still be my tailor." The old man begged again to Kayo.
"NO! My heart belongs to no one but my husband, your too old for me!"
"What? No I mean be my tailor for my business."
"Oh, That's still a no."
"Aww." The man slouched.
~Meanwhile with Riliane~
Riliane was walking through the streets of the aristocratic district, impressed by the rich structure and architecture of the area surrounding her, In a way it kinda made her feel like she's at home, she walked into a narrow alleyway covered in vines until she reached the other side that seemed to be swarming with children, both rich and poor, some passed her as she walked by towards the garden's gate, there was a square shaped arena like area and a medium sized wall which over looks more buildings and houses, just then she saw two boys around her age in the arena playing with a bouncy ball, they seemed to be playing volley ball of sorts, they stopped once they saw Riliane by the gates.
"Your outfit looks different...you must those strangers our emperor brought in." One of the boys pointed out, he appeared to be an Elphe boy wearing a white dress shirt and navy blue shorts.
"Of course I am one of them." Riliane concurred as she walked into the arena.
"What's your name?" another asked, he's a brunette with a dark green changshan.
"I am called "Princess Riliane Lucifen d'Autriche of the Yellow Kingdom of Lucifenia"."
"That's a mouthful, you got a nickname?" The Elphe boy asked.
"I'm sometimes called Rin...and you two?"
"I'm Ling." The Elphe boy explained. "And this is my friend; Boh."
"Say Rin, wanna play?" Boh asked.
"And what game is this?"
"Volley ball, but we can play something else."
"Mmmmm, Of course." They moved back a couple of centimeters away from one another, Boh did his first kick to Ling who kicks it to Riliane, Riliane uses her head to bounce the ball to Boh.
"Your good Rin." Ling said.
"Thank you, I've have a thing for games and sportsmanship."
They continued with their game until Boh accidentally hit the ball over the wall.
"Oops." Boh exclaimed, they go over to the other side and found that it landed on someone's lawn, they seemed to be having a lot of older folks over there.
"Oh, Aristocrats!" Riliane beamed up.
"Yeah, my neighbor must be having a garden party." Ling said.
"Should we ask for the ball back?"
"Oh but I don't wanna be rude."
"Really? Let's see what happens when I walk in and they see the Emperor's guest?" Riliane comes out of her hiding spot and walks into the party, however the people didn't seemed to pay attention to the young Lucifenian, considering that she's blond like some of the folks in the party then that would come as no surprise to why she's ignored. "Hmph! Talk about rude...Oh the ball!" She sees the ball and runs to it, unfortunately a servant accidently knocks it to under the table, "Crap!" She runs over to the table which seems to occupied by an older first class couple and goes under it, while reaching for the ball she accidently brushed her arm against the woman's leg.
"Ah! Oh honey, not in public~." She said in a flirtatious tone to her lover, she appears blond while wearing a red slit dress.
"What did I do?" The man asked, he's a dark blond wearing a black suit, the woman realizing that it wasn't her lover's doing, she looked under the table saw Riliane under the table holding the ball.
"Helloooooo." Riliane said, trying to look innocent.
"AH! GET AWAY YOU FILTHY BRAT!" She started kicking out, driving Riliane out.
"BRAT!? Well I never! Hmph!" She puffed, she walks away with the ball while keeping her nose in the air in a snooty fashion, "Ling! Boh! I got the ball!" She throws the ball at them, Boh catches it.
"Thanks!" Boh said.
"Wanna play some more?" Ling asked.
"No thanks, I feel like trash having to deal with these two people."
"Alright, It's great meeting you."
"Same here." As soon as they went away, she went to a nearby snack table, poured herself some punch and started looking for something to nibble on, "Now to fine some more decent aristocrats to socialize." She said as she grabbed a tiny sandwich, it was smoked salmon with cream cheese.
~Meanwhile with Sateriasis~
Sateriasis was strolling through the buildings of the Aristocratic district, taking a deep breath in complete relief due to finally losing track of Allen, the servant to him was a nothing but a burden to him when it comes to socializing with women. But now the perverted duke is alone, she sees three "women" standing by a large building that seems to look like a bar of sorts, Sateriasis smirked deviously upon seeing them, allowing his instincts to take over as he walks towards them.
"Well hello darlings, what a lovely morning we're having." He said smoothly, earning a bunch of giggles from the "women" in front of him.
"My aren't you a charmer sir." The first woman said in a husky tone.
"But of course, but not as charming as you dear." He winks, causing the "woman" to swoon in ecstasy and fall down.
"He's mine." The second "woman" said as she grabbed his arm.
"Oh but we only just met my dear." He brushes her chin with his fingers. "I will make exceptions however." She giggled.
"Me next! Me Next!" The third "woman" said.
"Of course my darling." He whispers into "her" ear, "A beautiful desert bloom can never compare it's beauty with you, in fact your more of a beautiful red rose than a bloom."
"Ohhh, your voice is so gorgeous." She gasped in lust.
"So...which one of you beautiful maidens would like to..."go first"?" He gave them a devious smirk, they start chatting excitedly as the grabbed onto Sateriasis, fighting over who wants to go first. "Oh my apologies my dears, it's not fair to only pick one, how about I pick all of you?" They started swooning excitingly, all seemed right with the world for him as they walked inside the building they're standing in front of. As he did so, Allen came around the corner panting and showing signs of exhaustion as he seemed to be looking everywhere for Sateriasis.
"AGH! WHERE COULD THAT PERVERT GONE TO!?" He yelled out while gripping his hair, "SATERIASIS! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!? OOF!" He got hit by a ball.
"I'm sorry kid, are you ok?" The boy his age asked, it was Ling and Boh.
"Ye-yeah, it just caught me off guard." He looked at the two boys and they seemed surprised by his appearance. "What?"
"Whoa, you look just like Rin!" Boh exclaimed.
"Rin? as in Riliane?"
"Yeah, we were just playing ball with her earlier." Ling said, "are you here brother or something?"
"Yes, I'm her younger twin brother, I'm called Allen."
"That explains the likeness, I'm Ling."
"And I'm Boh."
"Nice to meet you two, ok, have you seen a man, very tall, very handsome, has purple hair with matching eyes and wears a purple coat?"
"No."
"Well do you know where Riliane is then?"
"Oh yeah! She's at Ling's neighbor's garden party over there beyond the wall." Boh said pointing at the spot.
"Thanks you guys." He walked to the said spot in hopes of meeting with his sister, once there he saw that the place was packed, everyone having a few laughs and talking, he walked in before he was batted by the blond woman in the red slit dress.
"That's for touching me you filthy brat." She walked away with her lover.
"...I didn't do anything!" Allen yelled, but the woman was gone. "I guess Riliane must've caused some trouble here." He kept walking until he saw Riliane chatting with some of the other nobles, finally finding some people she could talk to.
"Then I said to that dumb knight: "When there's no bread, let them eat snacks!" Riliane said with pride in her voice, the nobles around her began laughing at her saying.
"My I never knew a child your age can be as witty and clever as a young woman, brava Princess." A raven headed woman said to her.
"Oh but it was nothing." She said blushing.
"Riliane!"
Riliane looked around for the source of the voice. "Oh hey Allen!" She runs towards him.
"Riliane, have you seen Sateriasis?"
"No I haven't, I thought he was with you."
"That perverted bastard got away from me just as soon as we got to the Aristocratic quarter, I can't find him anywhere."
"A pervert right?" The raven headed woman asked."
"Uuuum, yes?" Allen answered, unsure of what the woman is asking for.
"And is that man careless?"
"Very."
"Only after women who are beautiful, regardless of their occupation and upbringing?"
"Yes."
"Then I know the very exact place where he might be."
Soon enough, they went to the spot where Sateriasis walked into, Allen read the sign that was on top of the building but couldn't read it's native language, though he saw a bunch of women inside the place so this might as well be somewhat of a brothel or host joint.
"Is this a bar ma'am?" Allen asked the woman.
"Indeed, and he would be coming out right abooout...now." Just then Sateriasis comes out with a messy shirt and hair with kissy makers on his face, neck, and chest, flushed face and all. Normally he would be extremely happy with something like this, however something doesn't seemed right about his expression, he seemed...distressed and disgusted.
"There you are Duke!" Allen exclaimed angrily, "Did you made love to those women in there? You better not have gotten anyone pregnant!"
"N-no, they're not." Sateriasis stuttered.
"That's good."
"I c-can't even get them pr-pregnant anyways."
"Why? They took medicine?" Riliane asked. "Is there anything wrong Sati? You looked like you saw a ghost."
"Th-those women...they're...they're..."
"SPILL IT DUKE!"
"They're...they're...Crossdresser-er-er-errrrs!." He whimpered in his hands.
"Crossdressers?" Allen asked. "You mean...Men...dressed like women?"
"...yes..." Sateriasis squeaked in a high-pitched voice as he hanged his head down. "They were too convincing."
"Well it'll serve you right on two counts, you abandoned me and you judge people by appearances." Allen puffed. "Just like with your victims and your murderer."
"Now I get it, you walked into a all male brothel, they wear make-up like Jakokunese courtesans." Riliane said looking inside, but was pushed out.
"No minors allowed." Said the host standing by the door.
"Well madam, I think some gratitude is an orde-...huh?" Allen turned and saw that the raven headed woman was gone, vanished into thin air. "Where did she go?...Hm, I guess she left or something."
"Ga-Gallerian will never le-let me hear the end of it if he finds out." Sateriasis's hands were shaking like mad. "He'll laugh at me for all eternity!" Riliane then slapped him hard across the face.
"PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER, DUKE! Just process it, forget it ever happened, and move on with your life, the old goat will never find out then."
"Speaking of that, I wonder how things are going at the palace since Nemesis and Gallerian are staying behind."
~Meanwhile with Jun and Margarita~
In the dark hallways of the palace, Jun was holding Margarita by her hands as they wonder through the darkness, they stopped in front of a large door at the end of the hall as Jun began to unlock it. "Your gonna like this one Margarita." Jun said as he opened the door, on the other side was a giant blue rounded hallway, the walls made of thick glass and the wallpaper seemed to be moving, no, it's not wallpaper, it's actual fish and creatures of the deep, a large aquarium under the palace. Margarita's jaw literally dropped to the ground once she saw the aquarium in front of her.
"Oh...my...goodness." She was surprised, she can't even form a proper sentence.
"Do you like it?" Jun asked.
"Like it? I love it! This is the biggest aquarium I ever seen!" She said jumping.
"I was hoping you would." They walked inside, all around them different types of fish, big and small swam around the tube like hallway they're walking in, tangs, tuna, octopuses, turtles, sea horses, clown fishes, squids, star fishes, and many more. There was a small sea horse brushing it's head against the screen to gain Margarita's attention, to which she did, Margarita placed her hand on the glass where the sea horse was brushing at. She giggled on how cute it is. They pressed on through the giant glass hallway, racing a school of blue tangs until they reached a flight a stairs which leads to the surface, they're now on a platform in the middle of a large lake-like pool by the palace.
"This is absolutely amazing!" Margarita said as she jumped. "What I saw was beauti-OOOH!" She nearly fell off, only for Jun to catch her by the waist and hug her, she blushed madly when he did so.
"You ok?"
"Y-Yes."
"Good, I don't want to let you fall to your watery grave."
"I can swim."
"Well they're Octopuses down there."
"Oh." She squeaked.
"Listen Margarita, I know we only just met today, but I got something to show you." The Hybrid dug into his pocket and pulled out a small while box, he opened it which reveals a silver ring with a small yet beautiful heart shaped aquamarine gem on it.
"...A ring?"
"I felt pity for your circumstances from when I first heard your backstory." He places the ring on her slim ring finger. "Clockworker's doll or not I can still make you the happiest person in the world."
"Ohh Jun! Y-your t-too kind! Thank you!" She was so beamed by his kind words, he's the first person to show genuine kindness to her, Kasper's so-called "kindness" was pretty much used on every maiden he was sutured to then later possibly became his whores. Mayrana, or in this case Elluka only used her just for her own gain. Just then she heard three loud noises from afar: two screams; one male and one female, and one loud beast like roar.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWG!"
"EEECK! WHAT IS THAT!?" She was scared, but Jun just formed a mischievous smirk and chuckled.
"Heh heh heh, I guess the Judge and his daughter just became acquainted with Charlie."
"Charlie? who's Charlie?"
"You'll see, come Princess."
~Where the noise is~
Nemesis and Gallerian ran into the Palace garden in great desperation and fear, the dragon still close behind them was snapping it's jaws at them.
"UP IN THAT TREE!" Nemesis said as she turned the corner and ran towards a fairly large tree, Gallerian tagged along and started climbing up with his devil spawn close behind, the dragon slowed down once it lost track of the two sinners, lurking around the very large tree for the father-daughter duo running off with it's gold. The two sinners hid within the leaves of the tree, breathing hard in both nervousness and exhaustion from all the running they endured. The dragon sniffed in order to find them, but so far nothing and began to take it's leave.
"Phew." Nemesis sighed in relief, just when they are about to get down, a piece of gold fell out of Gallerian's pocket and landed on a tree stump, making a small ding noise. To their misfortune, it is loud enough to reached the dragon's ears, it turned around and saw the piece of gold on the ground. It smelled it then looked up at the tree to find the two sinners there, hanging for dear life.
"Oooooooooh shit." Was the only words coming out of Gallerian's mouth, the Dragon the proceeds to jump at them, only to miss every time, the two sinners screamed in horror.
"OI CHARLIE!" The Dragon stopped when it heard a voice, it turned and saw Jun with a obviously terrified Margarita behind him, the Dragon started to jump in seemingly joy towards the Hybrid, then stopped to lick Jun's face and started panting and wagging it's tail like a dog, "SIT!" The dragon complied, "Give me claw." It lightly placed the nail of it's fore finger in Jun's hand, "Play dead." The dragon laid on it's side and started moaning as if in pain, "GOOD GIRL!" He then summoned a giant doggy treat and threw it to the Dragon, it or she eats it as Jun started rubbing her tummy. "Did you miss Daddy, Charlie?"
"Th-that's Charlie?" Margarita said squeamishly.
"Yeah, she's my pet dragon, her full name is "Charlotte" but I like to call her "Charlie"." Charlie was sniffing the Marchioness. "Don't worry she's harmless."
"Harmless?...THEN WHY WAS THAT BEAST CHASING US!?" Gallerian yelled as he climbed down.
"Oh gee I don't know, maybe because YOU STOLE IT'S GOLD!?" Nemesis yelled as she pulled on the pearl necklace he was wearing around his neck.
"You stole from the royalty!?" Margarita said in disbelief. "You're a monster!"
"Thank you!"
"HEY! HEY! TIME OUT GUYS! Before anyone throws anyone under the bus let me explain:" Jun started as he got between them. "Because I travel through many dimensions and worlds visiting and collecting stuff, I pretty much don't need the wealth Gallerian took to make me happy, though I will need a vast majority of it in case of a national disaster like illnesses or widespread bankruptcy. But other than that, I just give it away to anyone who wants it. for good or bad, all is right with the world that way."
"Sooooo...you don't mind me taking the gold and jewels?" He questioned as he straightened the pearl necklace.
"Of course not Judge, help yourself, But not all of it mind you."
"THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME BOY!" He boosted in Avaricious glee, but was stopped by Nemesis just as he was about to flee.
"First of all: Don't encourage my Dad, Jun! and secondly: What about your dragon? Why was it, I mean "she" chasing us?" Just then she froze in utter shock as she felt the Dragon sniffing all round her body, the dragon then stopped at her pocket where she normally would hide her revolver, the dragon the snatch the object that was in her pocket...it was a big carrot and ate it, the dragon fell asleep by the tree.
"She's a vegetarian." Jun said smiling, Gallerian glared at his devil spawn for hiding carrots in her pocket, Nemesis mouthed "what" to her dad.
"Forget it, I got a date with the Treasury!" He ran off back into the treasury.
"GODDAMMIT DAD!"
"Don't worry, like Jun said he can't take all the gold." Margarita ensured Nemesis, "In the meantime, I gotta show you this aquarium in the palace!"
"There's an aquarium here?" Nemesis was confused.
"Yeah!"
"Hmmm, Interesting...are they're any octopuses?"
"Big ones!"
"Show me."
"Yaay!"
~Later in the Den~
Gallerian was content with all the gold and jewels he was able to carry with him as he straighten the golden crown on top of his head, Nemesis had fallen into the pool above the aquarium and was happy with an octopus hugging her as Margarita tried removing it with a crowbar. Just then Allen and the four sinners walked into the Den, Riliane was happily eating cake from the garden party, Banica was licking the sauce off her body as she eat pieces of wood, Kayo was happy with the beautiful colorful fabrics she got her hands on, and Allen was trying to calm Sateriasis down while wrapping a blanket around him.
"Hey guys." Banica said lick her fingers.
"I see that you guess had fun." Nemesis said, finally free of the octopus.
"Why are you covered in gold, Gallerian?" Riliane asked as she eat the cake, Gallerian then smelled something...odd...coming from Sateriasis.
"Why does Sateriasis smell like sweat and shame?"
"Ummm, you see...mmm." Sateriasis was quite hesitant, because he knew that if Gallerian found out he made love to a man he'll never hear the end of it, but he took a very deep and stood his ground yelling: "Y'KNOW WHAT!? I DON'T CARE! I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO BED WITH SOMEONE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN CENTURIES! AND I'M PROUD OF MYSELF!" He said with pride in his voice, finally processing his mistake without revealing much else.
"That's nice to finally accept it but you're still in trouble for doing it behind my back." Allen said with a smile.
"Oh so that's it...pervert." Gallerian scoffed, the duke sighed in relief.
"I got a lot of beautiful fabrics at the clothing store, I'm gonna have a great time with these." Kayo said brushing her fabrics with a smile.
"The food here is delicious!" Banica said. "Sadly they banned me from eating at their restaurants after tearing apart one of them."
"I had a lovely time with interacting with people of my status." Riliane said while using a napkin. "I also did make acquaintances with two little boys, what did you three do?"
"Enjoying the riches." Gallerian answered in total bliss.
"Playing with a dragon and an Octopus." Nemesis said hugging an octopus.
"I seen an aquarium here with Nemesis and Jun, then I saw a large Garden." Margarita said while brushing her forefinger on the ring Jun gave her.
"Strange I thought you cut ties with Kasper." Riliane said pointing at her ring.
"Oh no this is a gift from Jun."
"Oh, looks pretty expensive."
"But it's beautiful nonetheless." Margarita then noticed that Gallerian was forming Ev signs on his eyes upon seeing the ring, only for Nemesis to slap the back of his head.
"NO! BAD FATHER! STOP BEING A GREEDY PIG!"
"I wasn't gonna do it!"
"Bull...Crap!"
"Knock it off you two!" Riliane scolded them.
"Stay out of it!"
"Hey hey hey!" Jun said trying to calm them down, "Let's not do this in my palace, please?"
"Fiiiiine." They sat back down.
"...Well, now that I have everyone's attention then I have something to say to you all." He cleared his voice. "You've guys are the most fun around here and I'm happy to have brought you all here."
"Well thanks I guess." Allen said, a little confused to what he's talking about.
"Though with Banica I'm gonna have to pay the owner of that restaurant a good fortune because you dismantled his stand.
"His food was good."
"And it is, regardless I'm giving you guys free passes to the city so you can comeback anytime you want." The Sinners we're happy with the news.
"That's a kind gesture Jun." Allen said smiling, "Buuuuuuut the problem is I made a promise with Sickle to look after the Sinners and my sister." The sinners got closer to Allen about what he's saying. "The point is that I can't trust them to be by themselves for a long time, and I don't think Sickle is informed about us being in this dimension."
"Aaaaaaaand what's your point, hm?"
"My point is that leaving the sinners here would get us all in trouble... and even though this place is amazing, I don't think coming here on our free will would be allowed." The sinners exclaimed in disappointment.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Gallerian growled.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Banica Yelled.
"MOTHER OF GOD!" Nemesis threw a fit.
"COME ON ALLEN!" Riliane complained.
"NO FAIR!" Sateriasis berated.
"AWWWW!" Margarita pouted.
"HMPH!" Kayo puffed in irritation.
"Well I'm sorry but my job is to look after you guys and help you redeemed yourselves from the sins you committed, it's purgatory not a vacation."
"Your no fuuuun." Riliane whined while kicking.
Jun didn't know how to react to what Allen's telling them, he felt somewhat anxious but he stayed calm, smiled, and said: "Well I understand your concern but maybe I can try to convince dear Ol' Sickle to let you guys visit here."
"Weeeeeell I supposed that's possible." Allen agreed, the Sinners sighed in relief. "I still don't know how he'll agree."
"He'll have to I hope, because I got some big news, and it revolves around Margarita."
"Me?" Margarita said.
"Yes you Princess."
"Do tell." Banica said drinking tea, just thing they heard a loud roaring outside the palace, startling Jun, Allen, and the Sinners.
"IT'S CHARLIEEEEEEEEE!" Nemesis exclaimed in horror, just then they heard another roar outside the palace.
"Another dragon!?" Allen exclaimed in confusion.
"I don't have another dragon." Jun answered, he spread his wings and flew out of the window to see the commotion, at the gates he saw Charlie locked in combat with a large black winged dragon with blue eyes. Jun was in shock at the sight before him, wondering about the other dragon attacking his pet. "SWEET MOTHER OF CHOCOLATE!"
"Behemo sure is ruthless today." Banica said.
"Behemo? You mean the guy in the dress!?"
"You didn't know he was turned into a dragon for his insubordination?"
"No." Just then Jun saw Behemo about to snap Charlie's neck with his teeth, he flew in front of Behemo to stop the crosscresser from finishing off his pet. "STOP!" Behemo then stopped, baffled by the sudden interference. "DON'T KILL MY BABY, YOU BRUTE!" That was enough to subdue the god in all his might, he let go of Charlie. As Jun flew down to tend to Charlie, Behemo shrunk until he was the same size as his human form. POOF! He reverted back to himself, he was wearing a lavender t-shirt with a picture of a eggplant on it, a pair of grey sweats, black socks, and a pair of white bunny slippers. His hair was also messy and is showing signs of fatigue and a five o' clock shadow.
"Brute! BRUTE!?" Behemo snapped at the Hybrid. "I'VE BEEN UP ALL MORNING LOOKING FOR THOSE PUNKS! THAT DAMN SICKLE-WINGED BAT WOKE ME UP EARLY IN THE MORNING LIKE THE ANIMAL HE IS BECAUSE YOU SPIRITED THEM AWAY FROM THEIR PURGENTORY!" He was very cranky today.
"Pfft, wow Behemo, you're a mess." Sateriasis snorted, trying to hold in his laugh. "*Snort* The carpet on your face match the curtains?" He finally burst out laughing.
"Say that again and I'll send the ten plagues on your ass, Duke." Behemo said irritably to Sateriasis, it was enough to scare the noble silent.
"What's the big idea attacking Charlie you bully!" Margarita scolded at the God.
"Me a bully!? That dragon started it! It was getting on to me for no freaking reason!"
"Charlie is a "she"! and that's probably because of the Eggplant on your shirt, she's a vegetarian!" Jun yelled at him after healing Charlie's wounds.
"Ok! Ok! I get it! Look I'm sorry for attacking "her", I'm just so freaking tired that I just wanted to end this and go back to sleep." He stretched out.
"YOU! Better say that to Charlie, pretty boy." Jun yelled, Behemo only sighed.
"Fiiine, I'm sorry for almost killing you Charlie, can you find it in your reptilian heart to forgive me?" The Dragon responded by growling at the fatigued God, "I'll take it as a "No". Anyways everybody grab your things, we're going back in the box, Eh?" Riliane was then groveling at Behemo's feet.
"I wanna staaaaaaaaaaayyyyy." She whined.
"You. don't. live. here. now. let. go. of. my. feet. mortal!" He was trying to shake her off of his ankles. "Sickle has been chewing my but off a couple of times for several centuries now hurry up before he turns me into a newt.
"But Behemo I haven't even gotten to tell them what I was gonna tell them yet!" Jun said.
"Well maybe then you shouldn't hijack the sinners without Batman's approval." He was able to carry Riliane by his shoulder.
"But-"
"NO BUTS! You can tell them next time when you, Allen, I sort things out with Sickle!" He opens a portal. "Now everyone let's go so I can go back to sleep...I SAID LET'S GO BEFORE I TOSS YOU ALL INTO A SCARFICAL MAUL PIT OF HELL HOUNDS!" He yelled a the top of his lungs, scaring the sinners into following him back into the portal to the black box. '
"Well, I guess this is goodbye." Margarita said to Jun with concern.
"For now, I think." Jun said in a Melancholy tone.
"MARGARITA!"
"I'm coming! Bye!" Margarita ran into the gapping portal that leads back into the box, leaving Jun and his Dragon alone at the palace gates.
"I haven't even told them about the Engagement Ring I gave her yet, Charlie." He said with remorse as he patted his dragon.
END CHAPTER
If your reading this JustBmpLove, My apologies if It took too long and I'm also sorry I didn't include everything from our RP into this chapter, but you'll see more later on in the later chapters of this fanfic and I promise you your wish will come true, you have to trust me on this.
*Yeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah I kinda went a little too extreme with Gallerian's greedy madness, I have mixed feelings for the dude. I blame the EC Fandom on Tumblr XD.
**To anyone offend by the crossdressing thing, this is NOT use to mock crossdressing, trans and/or gay people, this is to point out how stupid Sateriasis is at judging people by appearances.
***While trying to re-create "Yingmu", I started listening to music by "Jia Peng Fang" and started taking up pictures of cities in china as inspiration, the chosen cities I got are: Beijing, Forbidden City, Shanghai, Xi'an, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Chengdu, Suzhou, and to some extent a Jiufen from Taiwan and Sei'an City/Seian-kyo from "Okami".
