The Wolf prowling across dimensions by Pandora's Reader

 Highschool of the Dead & My Hero Academia/僕のヒーローアカデミア Xover Rated: M, English, Family & Adventure, [OC, Rika M., Shizuka M., Saeko B.], Words: 820k+, Favs: 1k+, Follows: 1k+, Published: Nov 17, 2021 Updated: Nov 9 779Chapter 79: Karaoke, but with a twist

My p-reon is still Pandoras_Supporter by the way.

Thanks to Scifighter for supporting me.

We're close to the milestone, so I'm going to post this anyway. I might post the other chapter I have finished tomorrow, though I'm not sure yet.

This is another long one, mostly due to singing. I wanted to give the girls a song that really matched their character, and I feel like I got em down. Also. the mixed reactions to the watch party is interesting, but whatever.

The longest chapter to date, which is sort of cool.

Anthony - Thanks.

Shadow - That's fine.

Hermes - *Whistles in future chapter*

Dragon Slayer - *Whistles in future chapter even harder.*

Dragonfighter - The genderbend is SUPPOSED to be weird. That's what makes it good to fuck with people. It'll still be happening, maybe there won't be ENTIRE chapters with a genderbent Maccillian, but it'll still happen.

Jellatinous - It's not turning into a watch fic, that's just going to be a gimmick while they're in My Hero. Not all chapters will be that long, I just wanted to do one that long for PMM. Ideally, the rest will be Omake's, but Idk.

Saik0 - That's what I was going for.

Wently - Must be nice. No trauma for you.

Constellation/anyone else that asked - I've decided not to add Midnight or anyone else to the harem. So for those wondering, there ya go.

Guest - That won't be the case for all of the worlds. I've got atleast 2 in mind where the formula changes.

Oleem - I didn't want to 'rant.' Like I said in the AN at the top, it was originally an omake,, but got too large. The next watch party probably won't be episode by episode though.

{The next day. Maccillian's POV}

Skidding back, I had to shake my head a bit to get the stars out of my eyes. (Note to self, don't meet the fist of a +11 Kiriko headfirst.) It felt like I was going to have a headache, and that just wasn't fun for anyone.

I didn't have time to think about that, since I could feel Rei and Takashi coming up after her. I growled, then opened my maw towards them. There was a split second where their eyes widened. "Break!" Takashi's call was all he managed to get out before a stream of emerald flames roared out from me. The two of them managed to avoid the flames, but a quick slam of my tail sent out a wave that made the two stumble. I internally chuckled, and ramped up the flames as I aimed at Takashi. "Why me?!" Takashi shifted, and tried to run away, but I swept the flames towards him. 'HELP!'

I had to hold back a laugh at that, which got easier when I felt a surge of aura and magic towards the far wall. It was behind me, so I couldn't turn towards it in time to block it. The mad cackle of Kohta filled my ears, and I prepared myself for whatever it was he prepared. "All canons, fire!"

(Oh fuck.) That was all I could think before I felt hundreds if not thousands of bullets and beams clashed against my scales, if not outright pierce them. I even had a chunk of my fucking head blown off, the fucker. The momentary surprise made me stop breathing fire, and roar out at the annoyance/pain. Sure, it all healed a moment later, but that didn't mean I liked having holes in my head, lungs, throat and tail.

I spun towards Kohta, making my tail sweep through the area as I did so the kids didn't get any ideas, and glared at Kohta. He had a massive grin on his face, which froze when he met the eyes of an annoyed/mad Amphisbaena. Even from the far side of the training grounds, I could hear his shaky chuckle. "Ahaha... Mercy?" I narrowed my eyes, reared up, then SLAMMED my forelimbs against the ground, sending a shock wave after him. He yelped, alongside the others that were down here, and made a platform to avoid the wave.

Too bad I was charging up another wave of flames in my throat. Though, before I could send them out, I felt someone jump towards me, and saw it was Rei. She was in Werewolf form and was spinning the Mechashift spear Saya and Kohta made her. We locked eyes for a moment, then she landed on my back. "Sorry uncle Za, this is going to hurt!" And hurt it did. Her spear 'Dawn' tore into my scales, sending waves of electricity through me, then she started to run along my back, tearing through my scales and back all the while. I growled, and started thrashing around, trying to knock her off. "Not today uncle Za!" Rei jumped, spun Dawn, and started sending lightning enhanced aura slashes at me as she disengaged.

I frowned at that, and opened my maw. But instead of using Flamethrower, I went for Echoed Voice. -RAAAAGH!- The burst of sound hit Rei like a physical force, which it was now, and made her shoot towards the wall like she was shot out of a canon. I saw her impact the wall, and internally winced when I saw her aura break, and heard something CRACK. (She's gonna get on my case for that later.) I knew that, but it was an issue for future me, so oh well.

I turned back to the others, and noticed Takashi, in Werewolf form, and also on fire, coming towards me. I had a moment to respond, and decided to smash my head into his incoming fist. There was an explosion as we made contact, but being a dragon and all, I came out on top. Takashi was sent flying back, but managed to stick the landing... Though, as I looked at him, I paused when I noticed something. (Why is he smiling?)

"Kiriko, now!" I blinked, and felt around for her... And realized where she was.

"Gotcha! This is for Rei!" I felt her claws dig into my tail, and reflexively tried to swat her with it. But the resistance I felt clued me into the fact she had dug her heels into the ground, while also coating herself in stone, making it pointless. Then, I felt myself lose my hold on the ground, and started getting lifted! But she didn't stop there. She lifted me up high enough, and started to spin me! "ORAAA MOTHERFUCKER!" If I didn't have a headache before, then I definitely had one now. "AAAND! FUCK OFF!" That marked her fucking THROWING me, making me crash into the nearest wall.

Said crash shook the area, and I was sure that if Saya and I hadn't reinforced/enchanted the area, that would've shook the entirety of Japan with how hard I hit the wall. I took a moment to growl as I saw Kiriko charge towards me, a massive grin plastered on her partially covered face as she reared her fist back, so I decided rain on her parade. I waited for just the right moment, and when she was close enough, I opened my maw and snapped towards her, enclosing it around her when she was in it. I saw the others pause at the fact I'd just 'eaten' Kiriko, but had to focus when I felt her smashing her fists into my teeth, basically going to town on my mouth. (Heh.) That was a funny thought, but I had to focus. Her combo was reset since my bite interrupted her, but it would be an issue if I didn't deal with her soon. (Thankfully, I'm not High Priestess.) My throat rumbled, and I focused my flames again.

The punching stopped, and I could feel Kiriko tense in my mouth... Which was a weird thought to have, but it was whatever. "MILLIE! DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE!" I did my best to cackle, which only made my sister madder, then opened my maw to blast both her, and an emerald sea of flames. "FUUUCK!" She flew from my mouth, and with the rest of my flames, crashed against the ground. I heard her groan, and watched as she slowly got up. When she did, she dusted herself off, and scowled as she looked herself over, then up to me. "Really Millie? Did you HAVE to melt my fucking clothes? If you wanted to see me naked, you coulda just said so... At least my hair is fine." I rolled my eyes at her question, and did my best to shrug in this form. Her fur had been protecting her breasts and pussy, though my flames had burned the fur off, so yes, she WAS naked. It was a nice sight, 10/10 would roast my sister again.

"Mom!" Rei had every right to be embarrassed, but her mother didn't seem to care.

Kiriko rolled her eyes this time, and just waved Rei off. "Honey, I don't know why you care so much anymore. We've all seen each other naked at least once. Hell, Millie doesn't even give a damn, do you Millie?" She directed that at me, so I shifted back to answer. It took a few moments, since I was going from a 30-40 foot dragon, to my 6'4 self.

When I was back in my humanoid form, I shrugged at Kiriko's question. "It's a nice sight, but I'm not going to go all 'Sweet Home Alabama.'"

She snorted at that, and I noticed her fur had started regrowing, which covered her nipples. "If she ain't related, she's free to be dated." I took a moment to blink, then laughed my ass off at that. It was moments like that, that made me happy she shared my, and Rika's, sense of humor.

I heard Kiriko chuckle, and walk over to me. I cracked an eye open, saw her grin, and wrap an arm on my shoulder as she stood by my side. "Anyway, you heard it from the man himself, so nothing to be embarrassed about honey." That didn't seem to work on my niece, since she just pouted at her mother. Kiriko saw that, and started humming. "Ooor, ya worried about Takashi or something?" That seemed to hit her, and Rei blushed as she looked away.

Mainly at Takashi, who was also looking away, blushing. I noticed Kohta was looking like he wanted to be anywhere but here, so I left him be.

For now.

My sister laughed as she took in Rei and Takashi's expressions, and I joined her. Though, she stopped for a moment, and looked at me. "By the way, gimme your sweater. I don't mind being naked, but it's your fault I'm naked in the first place, so take responsibility, brother." I scoffed, but didn't stop laughing as I took it off. It didn't take her long to put it on, and she hummed after she did. "Thanks. Anyway, we gonna go up now? Throwing a, and getting roasted by a big ass dragon makes a milf hungry." The two of us ignored Rei's choking, and laughed.

"Yeah. Let's get something to eat, you something to actually wear, then head out. We'll be getting there early, but the karaoke place is open so it doesn't matter." My sister grinned at that, and the growl of her stomach told us just how hungry she was.

I raised a brow at that, and she shrugged. "What? I just said I was hungry. Want me to blush like a little schoolgirl or something? No offense, Rei."

"Some taken." The two of us snorted at that.

"Anywaaay. Food, let's go kids." Said kids cheered, weakly mind you, and they started going.

I just blinked for a moment, and looked at Kiriko. She must've felt my gaze on her, since she stopped, and looked over her shoulder at me, brow raised in an obvious question. "You didn't exclude me from that."

She just laughed, and went back to walking. "Like I said. Let's go kids." My eye twitched, and I decided I'd get her for that later. Food was more important then getting my sister back for that.

Walking upstairs, we all talked about the training session, and what they thought they could improve on. "I need range. I tried to get in close, but it just didn't work as good as I thought it would." We hummed at that, and no one disagreed. Takashi was still working on aura techniques, which he could do thanks to being a member of the Silver clan, but needed more work to really be effective.

Though, it felt like he was forgetting something. "You do remember the howl, right?" Takashi stopped, and we could all see the look of 'Oh my god, I'm an idiot.' On his face. It was great.

He dropped his head into his hands, and groaned loudly. Rei was on him in moments, and rubbed his back. "It's ok. I forgot about it too. I only remembered about it because SOMEONE," I harmlessly whistled at my niece's pointed glare. "Blew me into a wall!" I snorted at that, which did not endear me to her at the moment.

"Eh, you lived." She did, sure, her clothes were torn and her aura broke, but both of those would fix themselves.

Though, Rei didn't seem to care. "Not the point uncle Za! My spine cracked for a moment!"

I blinked at that. "Oh... So THAT'S what cracked." Rei, and the others, deadpanned at me. "What? You got better." Rei was unamused at my perfectly factual statement. I gave them an eye roll, and walked on. "Whatever. Let's just eat then head out for karaoke." That seemed to placate my niece, and she brightened up, as her tail wagged at obviously happy speeds. (It's amusing how easy to placate she is.)

That said, we walked into the livingroom, and saw the others. Everyone, aside from Kendo, was here, and seemed to be waiting on us. We got some looks when they saw Kiriko was essentially naked, save for my sweater. Kiriko didn't even spare the looks a second glance as she went to the fridge, and grabbed something to drink. "Blame Millie." Then she started to chug a fucking container of Sunny D, Eri's favorite juice.

Her words got me a pointed ~Cheee.~ From Hestia, which I just rolled my eyes at. We both knew she didn't mean anything by it, she was just being childish for fuck of it.

"If it makes it any better, she broke at least five of my teeth." I got a raised brow from Hestia, a chuckle from Saeko and Rika, and a cheer from said teeth breaker, who went back to chugging after the cheer.

That didn't seem to make it any better, since I was getting a lot of looks at that. "Silver... Did you put Koko in your mouth?" I nodded at that, because I did, and Rika just blinked for a moment. "Usually, it's the other way round. But I guess it works when your man's a dragon." I snorted, Kiriko choked, and was joined by the kids, other then Eri, and Saya laughed.

Eri just looked confused, mainly because she didn't hear it. See, we, Rika, Kiriko and I, found a loophole around the 'Don't curse or make crass jokes around the little ball of innocence' that was our daughter. Since we all had enhanced hearing, that we couldn't lower, we settled on whispering out comments like that, since Eri wouldn't be able to hear them. Therefore, Rika could make that joke, and no one could call her out on it because that would mean bringing it to her attention.

Anyway, our loophole aside, Kiriko stopped choking, and gave Rika an annoyed but equally amused look. The two of them looked at each other for a bit, then just rolled their eyes and chuckled.

Saya cleared her throat after that little interaction, and got our attention. "Anyway, when your all done, go get changed. We're pretty much just waiting for you." Which was true. Saya and those that weren't training with me, were all dressed up and looking pretty.

Saya was wearing her hair down, had her glasses, for some reason since she didn't need them. She had a black zip up tank top that showed off her toned midriff and arms, while wearing some tight and ripped jeans. For once, she wasn't barefoot, and had some simple black heels on, because even if she didn't wear her Qipao, the heels had to stay. I didn't know why, and personally, didn't care. (Sexy is still sexy.)

After Saya was Saeko, who also kept her hair down, but wore the 'mother that is going to die' braid. She was beyond amused when I called it that, and wore it just because she could. For a top, my sadistic samurai wore a short sleeved purple button up, that she had unbuttoned to a dangerous degree. For her lower half, she had one of those really long skirts she wore back in HOTD, which covered some nice stockings. Lastly, she had black slip on slippers.

Next up on the new outfit crew was Rika, who instead of having my coat wrapped around her waist, opted to actually wear it, while having a purple sports bra under it. That combo let her show off her midriff, which like Saya and the others, had a defined six pack that Nemuri said she could 'Grate cheese on.' Lastly, she had some baggy sweatpants and Geta sandals, like I do. The only thing that she kept the same was her hair though.

Shizuka hadn't changed her style THAT much, opting to wear her hair down, a more form fitting and sleeveless Virgin Killer, that again, showed an ungodly amount of cleavage. (I'm going to need to kill some people if they look too long... Wait... I might need to keep her from doing it herself... Nevermind.) That aside, she swapped her jeans for more form fitting yoga pants, that made me want to become an ass man. She also wore heels, because why the fuck not?

Now there was someone whose wardrobe DRASTICALLY changed. And that someone was my little goddess. With modern fashion, Hestia had discovered the 'wonders' of shopping. She kept her twin-tails, but her new casual was a frilly light blue shoulder-less top, which had a small boob window, a light blue skirt that went down to her knees, and normal sandals.

Eri was in her usual dress, with her bag in front of her as she happily sat in Shizuka's lap, and Lili was ready to go in her own outfit. Athena stayed in her 'Librarian Supreme' outfit, even though she had other clothes, so really, it was just us.

Understanding that, I nodded, and looked over to my sister. She was done with the juice, and had put the container away before I looked back, so we looked eyes. She gave me a raised brow, but shrugged a second later. "I'm wearing this for now. I'll just put some pants on." That was such a fucking mood, that I had to respect it.

So, I sighed, and turned to the stairs. "I'll be right back." The pack gave their collective 'ok/whatever' and I went upstairs. If I wasn't going to have my trusty sweater, I'd get something else. (Not like I know what that 'something else' is. I've been wearing the same shit for months at this point.) That thought made me pause for a moment, and just take that in. (Holy shit... How long have I not changed my outfit?) I didn't know... And that wasn't a good thing. (Welp. Time for a new skin.) That decided, I went up and over to my room, and decided to switch it up.

{10 minutes later}

Rika whistled as I came down, and I smirked. "Looking tasty Silver." That made me snort, and internally preen. I liked compliments dammit!

My casual skin wasn't much different from what I usually wore. My hair was down for once, I had a black shirt that exposed a good amount of collarbone and the first slash of my scar. My pants were just some fitting blue ones I used to wear back when I was Thorn, while I kept my Geta sandals.(Basically the cover image. That's what he'll look like while we're in My Hero, unless I specify otherwise. As for the others, when they're out in public, that's what they'll wear, again, unless I specify otherwise.)

Anyway, I made my way down to the others, and saw what my sister and the kids were wearing.

Kiriko had her hair down, was wearing my sweater, and like she said earlier, had just put on some form fitting torn jeans. She was one of the rare barefoot members, but didn't seem to mind.

My niece had her hair up in her usual style, was wearing a frilly white blouse, ripped jeans like Saya, and some silver slip ons. Her outfit was pretty tame compared to everyone else, but that was fine. The less people looked at her, the less people Kiriko and I had to instill the fear of god into.

That aside, Takashi wore a black jacket over a white tee, some camo pants, and black boots. He honestly looked like a normal person, and not the protagonist of a ecchi apocalypse anime where the titty physics made no sense.

Then there was Kohta. He didn't have his glasses, since he didn't need them, wore a dark green muscle shirt, some khaki pants, and steel tipped combat boots.

All in all, everyone looked good. "Mama. Why'd Mom call Mommy tasty? Is she going to eat him?" That question made us all pause, and turn to the most innocent person in this entire house. Eri and Shizuka were looking at each other, ones gaze of pure innocence and confusion, the other a picture of happiness.

Said picture blinked at our daughter's question, and took a moment to think about how to answer that. "You'll understand when you're older, Unicorn." And she went for the oldest trick in the book. A commendable effort.

Eri pouted, a HIGHLY effective weapon against anyone other then Shizuka. "But I wanna know now." Oh gods.

The mother daughter duo stared at each other for a few moments, before Shizuka hummed.

A DANGEROUS hum.

My eyes, and the eyes of everyone in the livingroom, widened as we heard the sound, and went into SHIZUKACON 1. "See, when a boy and a gi...-" That was as far as she got before I momentarily went into Werewolf form and blurred into existence right behind my wife, dropping my transformation as I did.

My hand shot towards her scalp, and after a gentle scratch, she stopped speaking. I could hear the collective sigh of relief from the pack, and breathed my own when Shizuka started to lowly hum. Her earlier sentence all but forgotten as she relaxed. Though, not everyone was happy. "Mommy! Mama was going to tell me something!"

I looked down to my youngest, and met her gaze. Her little rubies were staring into mt own miss-matched eyes, and I could see the indignation only a child could have. "You'll get it when you're older Unicorn." Her pout magnified to world ending levels, and I had to backtrack. "How about this. I get you some chocolate or some ice cream later, and we don't bring this up again?" Now, I knew I was bribing my six year old, but bribery always worked on children.

Eri's eyes sparkled, she brought her hands up, and she gave me an enthusiastic nod. "All the chocolate!" My ploy worked perfectly, and she didn't ask what Shizuka was talking about before.

The others chuckled at the interaction, and after a short bit, got ready.

When everyone was ready, we all left the house, and got ready to head to the karaoke place.

After locking the door, we got into our own groups, and started walking.

Rika was with Kiriko, Takashi and Rei. The former were sniping at each other, while the latter were absorbed in their own conversation.

Saeko was with me, Shizuka, and Eri, who was holding mine, and Shizuka's, hand. Though, not to be left out, Saeko was holding my other hand, and humming a tune as she did. (Pretty sure that's pop goes the weasel... Not sure why she's going for THAT, but oh well.)

Hestia was with Saya, Athena, Kohta, and Lili. The crazy trio were talking about the Horizon machines/weaponry, while my goddess wife and daughter were talking about Karaoke. "Hey, Maccillian?" Looking over to my goddess, I saw she was tapping her cheek, looking ahead. I hummed, letting her know I was listening, and she spoke again. "How DOES Karaoke work?" If I wasn't holding onto Saeko and Eri, I would've tripped.

I wasn't the only one surprised either, since the crazies, and lovebirds, broke out of their conversation, and looked at her. "Hestia... Dear... My life long friend." Athena was being extra today I see. "Did you suggest us to do something you didn't fully understand?" The goddess of wisdom was giving Hestia a look of pure confusion, and it was great.

Meanwhile, my little goddess blushed under the look Athena, and most of us, gave her. "Uh... Maybe?" Athena just STARED at Hestia, which embarrassed said goddess even more.

After a few moments of that, Athena sighed, looked away, took off her glasses, and pinched the bridge of her nose. "I should've asked earlier. The blame for not doing so is on me." Hestia wilted at that, and Lili snickered by her side.

My goddess groaned, scampered over to us, and crouched by Eri, who was watching the scene happen with interest. "Eriii! Athy's being mean to me. Get her to stop." My, and a few others, lips twitched at that, and I just stared at the goddess using a six year old against another goddess.

Said six year old frowned a bit, and looked over to Athena, who blinked as she met her gaze. "Stop being mean to Ma. Being mean is bad auntie Athy."

Athena looked like she was slapped, and turned away from Eri, unable to look at her. From where I was, I could make out the blush on one of her cheeks, and laughed. I was joined by the others, and we walked on. "I will claim vengeance for this transgression, Hestia. I swear it." That made said Goddess freeze, and nervously look away. Somehow, Athena noticed that. "Good. Fear the revenge." Hestia shivered a little at that, but the rest of us laughed some more.

After that little bit, we went back to walking and talking, and came up on an interesting topic. "Why are we heading to that specific place again?" It was a good question from Takashi, and one I probably would've asked if he hadn't.

Saya gave him a 'are you stupid?' Look, which made me happy it was him and not me. "A few reasons. Firstly, this karaoke spot is different from others. There's a stage for anyone that wants to openly perform, where four people can use at most, and quirk usage is allowed so long as it doesn't destroy the stage. Anyone can sign up to go, and if the owners like the performance enough, then they'll ask for permission to put said performance on their site. It's one way for them to get people interested in their place, while also allowing the performer(s) to get a fee for any revenue the videos get." Ah, capitalism. Wonderful. "Secondly, it's not only close, but has perfect reviews, so that was another point in its favor." Made sense. "Thirdly, they allow children." Good. We weren't ditching Eri at all.

Everyone took in Saya's explanation, and nodded. With that said, we went back to whatever idle chatter we were talking about before the question, and went on our way.

We eventually made it to the karaoke place, and I hummed as I saw it. (Well, this place is nice.) And it was. If I didn't know it was a karaoke place, I'd call it a studio apartment. Though, when I looked at the name of the place, I blinked. (Jirou's beats... Well... Guess I might be meeting the second member of 1-A today.) Shaking that thought off, I walked in after my pack, who hadn't stopped to look at the name of the establishment.

As we walked in, I took in the place owned by the Jirou's, and felt a smile form on my lips. (Snazzy. Got a nice feel too it, isn't crowded, but still has enough of an audience to have fun with, and it's clean.) Looking around some more, I saw a side bar with an empty seat or two, some tables that weren't all full, and noticed I couldn't perfectly hear the rooms down the hall, so there was some good soundproofing in those rooms. But not enough to stop my hearing. (Professional too.) I felt like we'd end up coming here more often, and I didn't mind.

Checking the place out aside, I started walking towards the others, who had already found their own places.

Rika and Kiriko were at the side bar, ordering up drinks for the rest of us.

Shizuka, Lili, Eri, who was in Shizuka's lap, and Hestia were at a table, looking at the stage. No one was performing, but they were still interested in it.

Rei, Takashi, Kohta and Saeko were at another table, right next to Shizuka and Hestia's, with my niece happily chatting with them.

Then there were Saya and Athena, the two were by the stage, which had a pair of huge speakers connected to a big ol TV, and a terminal right under it. Though, the TV was off, and so were the lights around the stage. The two of them were seemingly getting ready to sign something, and hand it to some random guy I'd never seen before, probably staff. I was about to wonder what it was, but Saya turned back to the others, and got their attention. "Alright idiots, who wants to go first?" Ah.

The question made them all giddy, aside from Hestia, and they all looked at each other. There was a spark of competitiveness in their eyes, which was put to a stop as Kiriko whistled, getting their attention. "Dibs!" Rei looked like she was betrayed, while I, Rika, and Saeko, laughed. "Pfft. You'll get your chance honey. Mama's just going first is all."

My niece huffed, then looked away. "Not fair. I wanted to go first." Her mother and I snorted at that, which only made her pout as she looked at us. "The both of you are mean!" I could live with that.

Anyway, my niece's pouting aside, I made it to the table with my wives and daughters, and sat between Shizuka and Hestia. The both of them gave me a happy hum, and turned back to Rei being salty. "Now that Koko's called it, I'm calling dibs after." That made us all pause, and take in what Rika had just done.

We all looked at each other, and in the blink of an eye, reacted. """""""DIBS!/Dibs."""""""

Our dibs said, it took us a moment to recognize who spoke first, and who came after. As one, we looked at Athena, and she delivered the truth. "Shizuka." My wife cheered. "Saeko." My samurai smirked at the others. "Saya." She grinned at Rei, who was getting sadder and sadder. "Hestia." The little goddess let out a nervous chuckle, since she was the only one that hadn't called dibs enthusiastically. "Rei." My niece perked up and cheered almost as loudly as Shizuka did. "Takashi." He looked relieved he wasn't one of the first to go. "Maccillian." I blinked.

"... I was LAST?!" They looked at me, and I just couldn't believe it. (How the fuck was I last?) I didn't know, but after sighing, I decided to leave it be. I was the bigger man... Unfortunately.

Anyway, with the order set, Saya and Athena put us down to perform, which was also giving our permission to be recorded and all that, then came over to sit when they were done.

With our geniuses here, and after Rei and Kiriko got everyone's drinks, we waited to be called up. Everyone was going solo, and were debating about what songs they should pick. Surprisingly, Shizuka knew what she wanted to sing, and that only made us more interested in just what she was going to go for, mostly because none of us had ever heard her REALLY sing. Hestia, Rika, Rei, and even Kiriko to some extent, liked to sing in the shower, but that was different.

Anyway, it was a few minutes later when the lights to the stage were turned on, and the random guy we saw earlier showed up on stage. He announced who was going to come up today, and after listing off our names, called the first of us onto the stage. "Alright, let's have some fun!" My sister put down her drink, and made her way to the stage. We, and the others that were here, watched her go, and end up at the terminal. When she got there, she hummed, and started searching for her song. As she did, I tapped my focus, and with a little tapping, started recording.

It didn't take her long to find it, and when she did, she grew a massive grin the showed her teeth. Kiriko locked in her choice, and the TV started counting down. The way she turned back to us, grin growing more and more wild, tail wagging at max speed, she was OBVIOUSLY pumped. And as the countdown hit 0, the screen behind her showed her choice. 'Fire On Up by Paper Kings.'

~(A-a-ah, a-a-ah-a-a-a. A-a-ah, a-a-ah-a-a-a.)

I'll be that silver, silver lining to the story.~ I softly snorted, not loud enough to be heard by others except us, but it still earned me a glare from my sister, who didn't stop singing, or let my completely justified reaction wipe the grin off her face.

~If you thought that I would turn and run, then y'all don't know me.

May my fears rest in peace, cause that's the old me.

Got this taste on my tongue, I crave the glory!~ Something that was hard to look past was that Kiriko sung with a passion, one that had fire fueling it. It was easier to notice on that line though, and it wasn't hard to figure out why. Kiriko LOVED being a Werewolf. It didn't matter if she'd get beat into the ground by a massive dragon. She would cheer at the fact she was fighting a DRAGON, even if I technically didn't count despite my Amphisbaena form.

~(A-a-ah, a-a-ah-a-a-a.)

~Gasoline in my veins, be the fuel through my pain.(O-o-oh, ah-a-a-ah)

As we rise, rise from the flames.

Heart of a lion, never say never. For a moment, I heard Justin Bieber, and I almost cackled. Almost. I managed to keep myself in check.

Cut like a diamond.

Shine under pressure.

Whoa oh, it's time to fire on up.

It's time to fire on up!~ At this point Kiriko was basically commanding the entire room to give them her undivided attention using her voice and passion alone. It was interesting, though I knew I could definitely do better. Though, I'd give her this, she was impressive. And given the way Rei, and Eri's eyes shone, I wasn't the only one that thought so.

Pound on your chest, it's like there's no tomorrow.

Just play the game right, no one can follow.

(O-o-oh!) It's time to fire on up.

(O-o-oh!) It's time to fire on up!

(A-a-ah, a-a-ah-a-a-a. A-a-ah, a-a-ah-a-a-a)

They say the struggle is real, I say the struggle reveals.

How you deal, with the monster that's inside you.~ For dramatic effect, she went into her Werewolf form and grinned with her fangs at the ready. Some of the randoms gasped at that, which made Kiriko even happier as she sung.

~I don't buy into the luck.

I put my faith and my trust, in my team, everything that we done been through.~ That had more passion behind it then normal, and we could all tell that, given the way we all grinned.

(A-a-ah, a-a-ah-a-a-a)

Gasoline in my veins, be the fuel through my pain.

(O-o-oh.)

(A-a-ah, a-a-ah-a-a-a)

As we rise, rise from the flames!

Heart of a lion, never say never.~

Cut like a diamond, shine under pressure.

Whoa oh.

It's time to fire on up.

Whoa oh.

It's time to fire on up!

Pound on your chest, it's like there's no tomorrow.~ She actually did here, and it was a wonder she didn't send herself flying with the force behind her fists, or crush the microphone as she clutched it.

~Just play the game right, no one can follow.

Whoa oh.

It's time to fire on up.

Whoa oh.

It's time to fire on up!

(A-a-ah, a-a-ah-a-a-a. A-a-ah, a-a-ah-a-a-a.)

(A-a-ah, a-a-ah-a-a-a. A-a-ah, a-a-ah-a-a-a.)~ As the song finished, my sister dropped her transformation, just in time for Rei, Shizuka, Hestia and Eri to cheer at maximum volume. They weren't the only ones, since most of the audience cheered with them.

Kiriko grinned at that, and came over, after she put the mic back. "That was AWESOME mom! I didn't know you could sing like that!" Rei was positively beaming, and her mother ate that up.

Seeing how happy she was, my sister took a quick sip of her drink, and gave Rei a challenging look. "I told you your voice came from somewhere. So, whatcha think Rei, you any better?"

My niece blinked at that, and returned the look. "Definitely! I'll blow your performance out of the water, just watch!"

The mother daughter duo stared at each other at that, and Kiriko grinned. "We'll see honey. We'll see." And like that, the stare was broken. Though, we could all see how determined Rei was now.

Too bad she wasn't up next. "Alright. I think you two are forgetting who's going up next." Rika stood up after that, getting their attention. "You're also betting I won't be better. I think I need to fix that." Rika's words made the both of them huff, which only made her grin. "Watch, and be amazed." Saya and I snorted at that, but Rika ignored us.

"Go mom! Win! Win! Win!" We all looked at Eri, who was practically glowing as she looked at Rika.

Said sniper grinned, and ruffled our daughter's hair. "Well, put a gun to my head why don't you? Anyway, if it's what the Unicorn wants, then the Unicorn's gonna get it." Eri giggled at that, and Rika got one more ruffle in before she left to the stage.

When she made it there, she grabbed the mic, and kept going. "Let's see. Where's mama's so...- Fuck yeah." Thankfully, Eri didn't hear that. Rika locked in her song, and turned back to face us all as the countdown started. And the moment it hit 0, her song started. And it was one I recognized. (Rumors, huh? Guess she doesn't care that Eri is RIGHT here.)

~She's got some nice long hair, and you know that she's a bad chick.

All the boys stare, can't help it it's a habit.

Clothes that she wears, short skirt and a jacket.~ She used her tail to flick my old coat, and used some wind to make it billow a bit.

~I just wanna get her all alone on a mattress.

I just wanna have it, I just gotta have it.

Rumors all around say her body is fantastic!~ No one could miss the way she spun, to then stop as her breasts jiggled. I held back a sigh at that, since Rika having no sense of shame when it came to showing off, was nothing new.

~All natural girl, not a piece of her is plastic.

Head to her toes yea they say that she's elastic.~ Rika did a fucking split here, much to the surprise of onlookers and those of us in the pack. I realized that this was how Rika commanded others to give her attention. Kiriko was passion like a fire, while Rika was sex appeal and flexibility. The both of them had wonderful singing voices, but their personalities bled into how they performed. Though, Eri was eating up Rika's performance, so yay.

Rika slammed her tail into the stage, not enough to damage it, but enough to send her up a bit, and with some wind, flip her upside down, landing with a one handed hand stand... And she DIDN'T stop singing as she did all that. ~Yeah the whispers all around say she has a reputation.

Don't believe it till I see it so I want a demonstration.

And I've always learned it better with a hands on education, so I need a private session if you get what I am saying.~ She winked at us here, and flipped again, landing back on her feet. As she did, she wrapped her tail around her waist, probably to do something with it later, and went back to singing.

~And they say that she's not easy, no she's really complicated.

But that only makes it better and it's got me so fixated.

And I'm not the type to wait around, I've never hesitated.

But she's got me captivated, so the game I'm gonna play it, yea.

She's got a body like a coke fiend.

She likes to keep the party going, these rumors got me feeling lonely.

I want that body baby show me.

She's got a body like a coke fiend.

She likes to keep the party going, these rumors got me feeling lonely.

I want that body baby show me.

(Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey hey. Hey, hey, hey.)

I want that body baby show me.

(Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey hey. Hey, hey, hey.)~ Rika unwrapped her tail, and spun again, whipping up some wind around her as she did, making her hair billow with my old coat as she did.

When she stopped, she gave the room a smirk, and kept on going. The crowd was eating her performance up, and so were the rest of the pack. Though, we ignored Saya's scoff of 'theatrics.' ~Yeah I heard you look good in a sundress.

I heard you look good when you're undressed.

I heard you like to get away.

I heard you like to stay out late.

I heard you had a couple boyfriends.

I heard they didn't treat you right.

I heard you're hated by your girlfriends.~ I, Kiriko, and Saya snorted at that.

Rika ignored us though, and kept going. ~Cause all the guys want you tonight, yeah.

They say she's too hot, they say she's too cold.

Where she came from, nobody knows really knows.

They say she looks young, but say she acts old.

From everything Ive heard she gets out of control.

And all the boys say she was sent from the heavens, but I'm not too sure this girl is a blessing.~ And wasn't that the fucking truth? Rika was excited about getting to shoot an angel, so there was no fucking way she was coming from or going to heaven. Unless we busted into a heaven, but that didn't count.

~She's got the devils eyes, and they'll cut you like a weapon.

She's stuck in my mind like a bad obsession.

Got bad intentions.

She's got a body like a coke fiend.~ She made my old coat billow again, and emphasized her body, which got a few cheers from the other guys, minus Takashi and Kohta, in the room. I, and a few others of the pack, just rolled our eyes at her.

~She likes to keep the party going, these rumors got me feeling lonely.

I want that body baby show me.

She's got a body like a coke fiend.

She likes to keep the party going, these rumors got me feeling lonely.

I want that body baby show me.

She's got a body like a coke fiend.

She likes to keep the party going, these rumors got me feeling lonely.

I want that body baby show me.~ The song petered out there, and when it ended, Rika smirked, and tossed the mic over to Shizuka, who easily caught it.

With that done, Rika ate up the cheers from the crowd, and dramatically bowed. "Thank you, thank you. I'm great, I know I am." Another eye roll from us later, and she came back to us. Eri reached out to Rika, who picked her up, and put her on her lap as she sat down. Our daughter started saying Rika was amazing, and everything that would inflate her ego. The sniper just laughed, and nodded. "Your mom's the best, right? Waaay better then Koko over there.-"

"Oi!" Somebody didn't like that.

Too bad Rika didn't care. "Right honey?"

Eri looked between Rika and Kiriko, and after a few seconds of not knowing who to choose, turned to Shizuka. "Go mama!" I snorted something fierce at that, and Saya laughed. It looked like Eri knew not to pick at all, and just changed the subject. Smart one she was.

Her mom and aunt shared a look at that, and shared a huff. Though, that was when Shizuka got up, and after giving a quick kiss to Eri's dome, she bounced away. "Mama's gonna do her best!" Watching Shizuka happily make her way up to the stage, I had the phrase 'hate to see her leave, love to watch her go' show up in my mind. I couldn't even be faulted either because of what she was wearing.

Anyway, Shizuka giving me a finer appreciation of her and asses in general, aside. She got to the terminal, and after searching for a moment, locked in her song. With it picked, she turned to us, and gave us a happy smile. Then, the counter hit 0, and her song came up. I had to hold back a snort at it, mainly because of the singer. 'Rather Be - By Clean Bandit ft Jess Glynne.'

The instrumentals started, and we listened as Shizuka started to hum. ~We're a thousand miles from comfort.

We have traveled land and sea.

We locked eyes here, and I could practically feel the love radiating from hers. ~But as long as you are with me, there's no place I'd rather be.

I would wait forever, exalted in the scene.

As long as I am with you, my heart continues to beat.~ Her smile grew, and her tail wagged up a storm as she grew more upbeat. ~With every step we take, Kyoto to the bay, strolling so casually.

We're different and the same, get you another name.

Switch up the batteries.

If you gave me a chance I would take it!

It's a shot in the dark, but I'll make it!

Know with all of your heart, you can't shake me.

When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be!~ Her flames ignited lightly, bathing her in their golden glow, and radiating the feeling of love and warmth. Eri gasped when they came out, and smiled just as brightly as Shizuka. I even noticed the audience was focused on Shizuka too, and not just because she was sexy. Where Kiriko was loud and proud with passion, Rika had her flair, smooth voice and sex appeal, Shizuka had her nature and melodic voice to command the room.

~N-n-no, no, no. No place I'd rather be.

N-n-no, no, no. No place I'd rather be.

N-n-no, no, no. No place I'd rather be.

We set out on a mission.

To find our inner piece.

Make it everlasting, so nothing's incomplete.

It's easy being with you.

Sacred simplicity.

As long as we're together, there's no place I'd rather be.~ She recalled her flames a bit, but instead of snuffing them out, she focused them on her tail, making a golden magic circle appear along it, and started wagging her tail with a purpose now. Seeing golden after images of her tail was interesting, but the way her flames rose into the air, and started to form into something above her was surprising.

~With every step we take, Kyoto to the bay.

Strolling so casually.

We're different and the same, get you another name.

Switch up the batteries.

If you gave me a chance I would take it!

It's a shot in the dark, but I'll make it!

Know with all of your heart, you can't shake me.

When I am with you, there's no pace I'd rather be!~ The shape her flames took was starting to be defined, and I could tell Rika and I both recognized what it was turning into.

N-n-no, no, no. No place I'd rather be.

N-n-no, no, no. No place I'd rather be.

N-n-no, no, no. No place I'd rather be.

When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be!

Yeah-e-yeah-e-yeah-e-yeah-e-yeah, yeah, yeah!

If you gave me a chance I would take it!

It's a shot in the dark, but I'll make it!

Know with all of your heart, you can't shake me!

When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be!

N-n-no, no, no. No place I'd rather be.

N-n-no, no, no. No place I'd rather be.

N-n-no, no, no. No place I'd rather be.

When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be.~ The song ended, and above Shizuka was a golden picture of a forest, and a small campsite. But in the center of it were three people. Rika was grilling my snake, Shizuka was looking towards me, and then there was me, in my wolf form, carrying a rabbit in my jaws.

I couldn't help but stare at the picture, and I could tell Rika was too. That felt like a lifetime ago. Though, as I stared at the image, I noticed Shizuka was coming towards us, absolutely radiating happiness. When she got to us, she sat right by my side, and leaned into my side. I wrapped an arm around her, and kissed her head, much to her joy. The resounding 'awws' annoyed me a little bit, but I ignored them in favor of giving my wife attention. "Dammit sentimentality. I can't beat that." I almost snorted at Rika, but didn't. Though, Kiriko did.

While Shizuka cuddled into my side, I saw Eri hop out of Rika's lap, and make her way over to us. Shizuka and I saw that, and my wife reached out and picked her up, putting our daughter on her lap. Eri cheered, and snuggled into Shizuka, making this a real nice picture. One I noticed Saya, Hestia, and Rei all took pictures of. "If it were possible, I'd say I was getting diabetes." I didn't stop the snort this time, and Shizuka giggled.

The moment was broken, but none of us minded. "Is that really how you met, uncle Za?" Ah.

Everyone, aside from Rika, looked interested in that. We'd never actually gone into how we met, just that I found them in a forest. So, deciding to say it, I nodded. "Yeah. Back then, I just... Landed," Those who knew why I phrased it that way, which was everyone other then Eri, shivered at that. "In that forest, and was still getting a lay of the land. It was maybe the day after that, when I picked up on their trails." They were all listening intently now, which was kinda nice. "That's how I found them. Back then, I didn't know Japanese, so I was basically dumb and deaf...-"

"Somethings don't change, huh." My eye twitched, but I didn't give my sister the satisfaction of getting a rise out of me.

"-So I just followed them for a bit...-"

"Hearing you say that out loud is kind of creepy now that I think about it Silver." I ignored Rika, and the way she and Kiriko high fived each other, and kept going.

"And eventually, they stopped to camp. I watched for a bit, since I hadn't actually interacted with anyone at that point, but eventually got hungry and left. I picked up a snake on the way, was gonna make it my dinner too, but SOMEBODY, stole it from me." I looked directly at Rika at that, and she just raised a brow.

"You laughed at me for no reason, Silver. You didn't deserve that snake." I blinked, and looked at her.

"I hunted that little cac fair and square, thank you very much. Besides, you looked stupid to me at the time, so of course I laughed at you." Saya snorted at that, while both goddesses gave me a look for that. We couldn't curse in front of Eri, but if it was another language, it was fair game.

Rika just rolled her eyes at that. "Should've shot your dumbass." I scoffed at that.

Though, before I could say something, the random guy that Saya and Athena handed the form too told us that the next one up had to go or, pass over to the next one on the list. Hearing that, Saeko hummed, and turned to Shizuka. "May I?" My wife happily handed Saeko the mic, and with mic in hand, got up, and sauntered over to the stage.

When she was up, she searched for her song, which didn't take long, and locked it in. Choice locked, she turned to us, and flashed the crowd a dangerous smile. And as her countdown hit 0, and the name of said song came up, Saya, Rika, Kiriko, and I all barked out a laugh. Her choice was 'Sweet but psycho by Ava Max.'

~Oh, she's sweet but a psycho, a little bit psycho.

At night she's screaming, I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind.

Oh, she's hot but a psycho.

So left but she's right, though.

At night she's screaming, I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind.~ Saeko's grin grew here, and her tail wagged slowly, and methodically. Though, the real kicker were her eyes. They glowed her shade of blue, and looked hypnotic. They almost distracted me from the fact the temperature was slowly decreasing. It almost made me dismiss the fact she was alluding to sex with Eri right here. But a quick look made me see she didn't get it, so thank gods for small mercies.

~She'll make you curse, but she's a blessing.

She'll rip your shirt, within a second.

You'll be coming back, back for seconds.

With your plate, you just can't help it.

No, no, you'll play along, let her lead you on.

You'll be saying, no, no.

Then saying, yes, yes, yes, cause she's messing with your head.~The temperature stopped dropping here, but it was enough. Saeko formed ice crystals along her hair, tail, and at the bottom of her skirt, turning her tail into what looked like the blade of a chainsaw, and her skirt into a potential buzz-saw.

~Oh, she's sweet but a psycho, a little bit psycho.

At night she's screaming, I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind.

Oh, she's hot but a psycho, so left but she's right, though.

At night she's screaming, I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind.

Grab a cop gun kinda crazy, she's poison but tasty.~ I remembered that she was named Oleander back in Orario, which just made that line fit in even more.

~Yeah, people say, run, don't walk away.

Cause she's sweet but a psycho, a little bit psycho

At night she's screaming, I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind.~ Suddenly, it felt like Saeko was more dangerous then before, which let me know she was using real light amounts of killing intent. Not enough to make people piss and shit themselves, but enough to make people look at her, or else. Fun fact, Eri is immune to low levels of killing intent, which is all kinds of fucked up, but helpful. It was also how Saeko commanded a room. She made everyone look at her, making their instincts pay attention to the monster that might tear out their throat if they looked away.

~See, someone said, don't drink her potions.

She'll kiss your neck with no emotion.

When she's mean, you know you love it.

Cause she tastes so sweet, don't sugarcoat it.

No, no, you'll play along, let her lead you on

You'll be saying, no (no, no, no), no (no.)

Then saying, yes, yes, yes, cause she messing with your head (hey.)~ My sadistic wife spun here, and the reflection from the ice crystals made for a nice light show. Though, she didn't stop singing, and started to lower the temperature again, slowly.

~Oh, she's sweet but a psycho, a little bit psycho.

At night she's screaming, I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind.

Oh, she's hot but a psycho. so left but she's right, though.

At night she's screaming, I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind.

Grab a cop gun kinda crazy, she's poison but tasty.

Yeah, people say, run, don't walk away.

Cause she's sweet but a psycho, a little bit psycho.

At night she's screaming, I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind.~ She stopped spinning, showing even more ice lining the bottom of her skirt, but also slowly creeping upwards.

~You're just like me, you're out your mind.

I know it's strange, we're both the crazy kind.~ I didn't miss the way she looked at me, but couldn't deny it. I knew I was chaotic neutral most of the time.

You're telling me that I'm insane.

Boy, don't pretend that you don't love the pain.

Oh, she's sweet but a psycho, a little bit psycho.

At night she's screaming, I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind.

Oh, she's hot but a psycho, so left but she's right, though.

At night she's screaming, I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind.~ Saeko spun again, making the temperature fall again as she called on her ice, and covered her skirt, tail, and even hair, in her ice, turning herself into a weapon of freezing death.

~Grab a cop gun kinda crazy, she's poison but tasty.

Yeah, people say, run, don't walk away.

Cause she's sweet but a psycho, a little bit psycho.

At night she's screaming, I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind~ She stopped again, and made a frozen rose above herself before she dispelled her ice in a small explosion. Since it was magic, her ice left no traces, aside from the chill in the air, and the slowly dispersing cloud of ice and snow.

With her song over, Shizuka cheered, which led into the others cheering. "Pretty! Mother was a princess, like that movie!" Eri followed that up by making a small spray of snow, which Saeko smiled at, and did a fucking curtsy to seal the deal. Saya rolled her eyes at that, an action that Saeko caught, and amused her.

Anyway, she came back to us, but instead of sitting down, she wrapped her arms around Saya, who didn't seem to mind, and hummed. "Something you would like to say, Saya?"

Said cub just scoffed. "Theatrics. You're all so special for no reason. This is karaoke, not a concert. You don't NEED to impress everyone." She had a point.

"But it was pretty. Mami'll be pretty too... Right?" But Eri didn't care.

Hearing our daughter say that, Saya turned to her, and saw the dreaded puppy dog eyes, Eri edition. They were so strong, she flinched, and looked away. "Dammit. That's not FAIR!" We shared a laugh at her expense, which made her pout. "Bastards. I'll give you a show all right." That said, she got up, took the mic from Saeko, and marched over to the stage.

Getting to the terminal, she searched for her song, locked it in moments later, then turned to us. Seeing the look on her face, one of sheer pride and defiance, we already knew she was going to do her best to out do the others. And when the countdown hit 0, and the name of her chosen song came up, we all grinned. 'Queen by Loren Gray.'

~Cross my heart and hope to die, I don't need another guy, to fight my battles.

To overshadow me.

Don't you know I'm dangerous?

Fire burning in my blood.

I got this handled, I don't need rescuing.

You can call me a princess all your life, cause you love to keep me helpless by your side.

But it ain't what I want, Imma show you, Imma show you.

How to treat me like a queen.~ Her aura flared, and we watched as she not only coated herself in it, but the stage around her, and started forming things.

~(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.)

Boy, you better bow down on your knees.

Can I get a yes, your majesty?~ Her aura finished forming, and now, Saya was wearing a full on crown, a robe fit enough for a queen, and a scepter in her other hand. She tapped the stage with it, making the rest of her constructs finish forming. Said constructs were knights in full armor, wielding shields and swords. When they finished forming, they fell to one knee in reverence to her, and dipped their heads. Eri and the rest of the audience were eating her performance up, and Saya knew it.

~So treat me like a queen.

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.)

Boy, you better bow down on your knees.

Can I get a yes, your majesty?~ The knights stood up, and clanged their shields, giving her their answer. Saya smirked at that, and kept going, knowing she had not only the main room's full attention, but the attention of the people in the other rooms, since I KNEW that traveled through the walls. It was interesting that this was how she commanded a room. She used her pride, skills, and sheer presence to make everyone pay attention, and maybe even fealty to her.

~Eyes on me like I'm a prize.

But you better recognize, I'm not your angel.

Cause I belong to me.

You can call me a princess all your life, cause you love to keep me helpless by your side.

But it ain't what I want, Imma show you, Imma show you.

How to treat me like a queen.~ She tapped the stage again, making the knights move towards the sides of the stage while she sang.

~(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.)

Boy, you better bow down on your knees.

Can I get a yes, your majesty?~ The knights bent the knee again, and Saya tapped her scepter once more, making more blobs of her aura appear behind her. Though, we all knew it only took her a moment or to shape something human shaped, so it was easy to tell she was taking her time with them. She was giving everyone a show, and a GOOD one at that.

~So treat me like a queen.

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.)

Boy, you better bow down on your knees.

Can I get a yes, your majesty?

You can call me a princess all your life, cause you love to keep me helpless by your side.

But it ain't what I want, Imma show you.

(You-you-you-you.)

How to treat me like a queen.

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.)

Boy, you better bow down on your knees.

Can I get a yes, your majesty?~ Tapping the stage again, the constructs finished forming, and now, she had a small murder of Nevermore, and a pack of Doberman sized Beowolves behind her. Said Grimm dipped their heads to her, their queen and creator.

~So treat me like a queen.

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.)

Boy, you better bow down on your knees.

Can I get a yes, your majesty?~ And with that, she raised her scepter, making the knights clanged their shields, the Beowolves howl, and the Nevermore caw all at once. It was an impressive sight, and everyone knew it. Saya held it for a moment as she took in the reactions from her audience, and gave a satisfied nod. That done, she tapped the stage again, dispelling her knights and Grimm, and came back to us. None of us missed the confident smirk on her face, or the pride in her eyes as she looked at Saeko."I win."

Saeko just chuckled at that. "I believe you did. Congratulations Saya, would you like a prize?" That got a raised brow from her, and a few of us. Interested, Saya nodded, and Saeko smiled as she reached over for Eri, who was handed to her like some kind of stuffed animal. With Eri in hand, she then passed her over to Saya, who happily picked her up. "One daughter, as earned." That got a laugh out of Kiriko, Rika, me, and surprisingly, Kohta.

Though, she didn't care, and happily held Eri, who was looking at Saya in pure awe. "I'll take it." That said, she passed the mic to Hestia, sat down, and talked with Eri about being a queen.

As the two of them got into that, I noticed Hestia look at the mic, with a complicated look on her face. "You ok mo bhandia?" Looking at me, the two of us locked eyes, and I suddenly understood why she was hesitant when she called dibs, and now that it was her turn. "Stage fright?"

She winced at that, but nodded a moment later. "I didn't... I didn't really think this through." Shizuka, who was interested in where this was going, and I hummed at that, and I gestured for her to go on. After biting her lip, she did. "I just... I've never done this before. I sing, yeah. But that's at home, and in the shower. This is different." It kinda was.

But Shizuka just blew a raspberry at the nervous goddess, and waved her off. "It's fineee Hestia. We're here, who cares about anything else?" That was both very true, and really direct. How Shizuka like.

Hestia blinked, then just stared at Shizuka, and me by extension. For some reason, Shizuka stared back, and they had an impromptu staring contest. "... What?" I just had tot say it, because I had no idea what was going on. (And it's weird that this is happening, but I'm not saying that out loud.)

They ended up breaking out of the contest, and Hestia grinned. "You're... You're right." She got up, and after a quick hug to Shizuka, ran up to the stage. "I got thi...-" And then she tripped...

We all just blinked, and STARED. "Um... Ma? Are you ok?"

Hearing Eri's voice, Hestia groaned, and got up. Her aura protected her from getting hurt, but that had to be embarrassing to the highest degree. "I-I'm fine! I still got this! I swear... Ugh..." She got back up, and after dusting herself off, went to the terminal, and searched for her song. "Alright Hestia. Just do good, and everyone will forget that. Just do your best!" Those of us in the pack shared a look, and decided not to let her know we heard her.

After searching for a bit, she found her song, and spun around. Her eyes trailed the audience for a moment, which made her shake for a second, but a hum from Shizuka brought Hestia's attention onto her. Our little goddess held Shizuka's gaze, and for a moment, her gaze flicked over to me. I just gave her a grin, and that seemed to do the trick, since she took a breath, and stared back at the rest of us, as a group. As a pack. That happened just in time too since the countdown hit 0, and her song started. 'Where we started by Lost Sky.' And as it did, Hestia SUNG.

~Our empty hearts and neon lights.

They're playing with my mind.

Gotta get out of it tonight.

I wanna run off and float.

And I'll tell myself it's fine to be alone.~ I didn't know if she was consciously doing it, but Hestia seemed to be lacing her words with her own emotions, like a ramped up version of Rei's semblance. And if I focused, and let it through, I could see something else. A starry sky, waters reflecting that sky, and a little goddess curled into herself as she sat on a column of stone, alone.*

~Just to find somewhere that finally feels like home, oh, oh, oh.

I hate all this overthinking, oh, oh, oh, oh.

The more I swim, the more I'm sinking.

Then, my little goddess turned back to me, and smiled. ~Take me to a world of silver.~ That's where it changed. Her eyes glowed silver, the feelings of loneliness disappeared, and I didn't even need to focus on it to see why. In my mind, I could see our meeting. See the way the sun shone on me and Shizuka, and felt her emotions as we went through with our introductions. Her hope and joy blossomed in me, and without a doubt, everyone else in here.

~No more heartbreaks, tears, painkillers.

Take me somewhere unfamiliar.

Bring me back to where we started out.

Get me out of now.

To where we started out.

Get me out of now.

To where we started out.~ I saw the church, the rundown piece of shit, before Shizuka and I fixed it up. Seeing it again, I couldn't help but pat myself on the back for fixing it up... Metaphorically of course.

~La-la-la-la-la-oh-oh.

Get me out of.

Broken hearts and starting fights.

Turning truth to lies.

Gotta get out, stop wasting time.

Yeah, I wanna run off and float.

And I'll tell myself it's fine to be alone.

Just to find somewhere that finally feels like home, oh, oh, oh.~ The church was different now. It was fixed. I could see Hestia gawking at the changes, which drew a small laugh out of me, but she didn't let that bother her, since the scene of Shizuka opening the door greeted me. Seeing as she was led in, to then see me and Bell on the couch, I could hear me welcoming her home, and feeling the pure adoration and relief, almost made me react.

~I hate all this overthinking, oh, oh, oh, oh.

The more I swim, the more I'm sinking.

Take me to a world of silver.~ We never stopped looking at each other, but even if we hadn't, I would've still FELT the love that flooded through the image that came up next. I saw the night she cried into me. The night I told her that the girls and I were immortal. The relief, hope, and like I said earlier, LOVE, that flooded through here was practically visible to all.

~No more heartbreaks, tears, painkillers.

Take me somewhere unfamiliar.

Bring me back to where we started out.

Get me out of now.

To where we started out.

Get me out of now.

To where we started out.

I'm out, oh.~ Our first kiss, which had Shizuka cheering in both the past, and the present as she almost cheered when that came up.

~I'm out, oh.~ Surprisingly, the next one had her and the rest of the girls in it. I didn't know what they were saying, but from the relief, happiness, and excitement that was coming through, it was probably something good.

~I'm out, oh.~ Our first date in that nice cave. The satisfaction and love in there was massive, but it made me satisfied to know she enjoyed it that much.

~I'm out, oh.~ The day we left Orario, and ended up on that roof back in America. I and the rest of the girls were by her side, enveloping her in our auras. The amount of safety, and comfort that came through was even more then our first date.

After that, the song stopped, and the place was quiet for a moment. A moment that brought Hestia out of her focused state, and look around and the stunned crowd. She fidgeted for a second, but a loud cheer from Shizuka brought her out of it, and made her look back to us. After Shizuka, the rest of the pack either cheered or clapped. Then, my little goddess looked to me, and I smiled. "You were perfect Hestia." That did it, and she smiled bright as the sun itself.

Hestia practically bounced off the stage, and came over to us. When she was here, she handed the mic to Rei, and gave me a hug. I hugged her back, and like Shizuka, gave her a kiss to the dome. I could feel her preen at that, and I ignored whatever reaction the random people had, they didn't matter. Though, the 'awws' from the rest of the pack was slightly annoying.

Anyway, that done. Hestia sat down, and we looked at said pack.

Rika, Kiriko, Rei, Lili, and Athena had massive grins on their faces.

Eri, Takashi, Kohta and Saya had happy smiles.

Then there were Shizuka and Saeko. The two of them had teasing smiles on their faces, and amusement in their eyes. (Welp, R.I.P future Hestia.) Those two were going to do something, I just didn't know what.

"Finally, it's my turn!" Rei burst out of her seat, and practically materialized on stage. There, she happily skipped on over to the terminal, and started looking for her song, while humming a tune.

As she searched, I noticed Saeko's ear twitch, and saw her turn towards a far wall. My samurai hummed, then turned to me. "My lord, may I be excused?" Giving her a raised brow, I was curious about what she heard, and thought about raising my hearing to pick up on what she heard. Though, I decided against it, and gave her a nod. Saeko smiled, then got up. "Very well. I'll return momentarily." And then she was gone in a blur of speed.

Her leaving made the others curious, but our attention went to Rei, who locked in her choice, and turned back to the crowd. Her smile was full of cheer and confidence. And after the counter hit 0, we saw her choice. 'On & On by Cartoon.' Rei began to sing, and as we listened, I had a thought. (I wonder what got Saeko's interest...) I didn't know, but I was curious.

But it was whatever, she'd probably be back in a few minutes. What was the worst that could happen in that time?

{Saeko's POV}

My senses had yet to lead me astray, and I doubted they would do so now. So, trusting them, I ran towards the source of my interest. It was half a mile away, which wasn't exactly far to my senses, it was in fact the bare minimum I held my hearing too now ever since it was set to its new standard after entering Orario. It was unnecessary, but I liked being vigilant.

My standard aside, I ran across the rooftops, and kept the sounds at the forefront of my hearing. And currently, said sounds seemed to be two men. "Fucking creepy bitch. Ya good Kao?" The first man's voice was strange, reminiscent of an insect rather then a man, but this world's people were subject to strange mutations...

I was also a Werewolf with a tail and ears, so who was I to judge? (However, I'll still do it. My lord is a hypocrite, and so am I.) That thought made me grin, and also the slightest bit curious at what my lord's song selection would be. (Jazz perhaps?) He DID say he loved the sax, so it was a possibility.

I wanted to think on that more, but the second voice spoke up. "Yeah... Yeah, I'm good Yor... Fuck... I think she nicked something. Fucking little whore." The breathing of this 'Kao' man was more labored then his compatriot. And if I focused on it, and sifted through the scents of the city, I could pick up one of my favorite scents.

The scent of blood.

"Shit. C'mon man, let's get you the hospital. Who knows if that bitch had something." The man called 'Yor' responded. I hummed as I ran, and recognized I'd be there in a few seconds given my current speed. I could get there in an instant if I used more then a fraction of my true speed, but I was more curious about the conversation to do so.

Next, I heard what was perhaps a trash can being kicked over, and a grunt. "Yeah. Let's go. Let the little freak stew in the shit." I frowned at that, and changed my mind. Using half my speed, I jumped from one roof, and shot over towards another.

It took but a moment to reach my destination, which was above a dead end alleyway. Taking a moment to take the scene in, I saw the two men whose conversation I had been listening to. But I also saw the 'freak' as well. She seemed to be a teenager with blonde hair, muddled by the trash and blood, wearing a school uniform of some kind. And somehow, perhaps feeling my gaze, she weakly turned up towards me. Our eyes met, and for a moment, I paused.

For I saw something interesting.

A predator.

One that knew what it meant to hunt another...

A broken child.

And in that moment, I knew I wanted her.

{Toga's POV seconds before meeting Saeko}

Hungry. I was really really REALLY hungry. And hurt, I couldn't forget the hurt. (Maaan... That buggy dude has a mean kick... Ugh... This sucks.) I just wanted a little snack, somethin to make the hunger go away, but nooo, the other guy just HAD to have a friend. (Shoulda just waited. Maybe gone for another homeless sucker. But nooo, you just HAD to go for the other guy. Well Toga, how'd that turn out for ya?) I groaned at my own snark, which turned out to be a bad idea.

After they heard that, one of the guys kicked a trashcan, getting all the funky musty trash onto me... Rude. "Yeah. Let's go. Let the little freak stew in the shit." Even more rude! But I couldn't really do anythin to em considering the pain I was in. Who knew adults could hit THAT hard?

I heard the two of em start walking away, when I felt it. Sum scary was looking at me, and even though it hurt to look, I craned my neck up, and met the scary thing's gaze... And I felt my breath hitch.

Sky blue orbs met my eyes, and I realized it, SHE, was scarier then I thought.

Her eyes were cold, kinda like going out in the snow with a bikini, but warm at the same time. It felt like there was a blade on my neck, and ice pricking my skin. But it was what else I saw that really made me pause.

Those were the eyes of a killer, one of my people.

And that was somethin I didn't know how to feel about. (Is it my time?) I didn't know, but I guessed there were worse ways to go... (Though, dying in a dark alley, covered in thrash, is kinda bad either way.) It was!

Though, the scary lady did something different. She came on down to me, I didn't see how, one sec she's up on the roof, then boom, right in front of me! I'd be squealing at how cool that was if I wasn't scared outta my gourd. The scary lady knelt and kept her eyes locked on mine, not caring about the literal trash on me, and spoke. "From this day forward, you will be my daughter." I blinked.

"... Wut?" The fuck else was I supposed to say? Who just expects to have someone just say THAT to them? Not me? No sirre.

The scary lady that wanted to adopt me for some reason, just hummed, and I saw her grin. Even her eyes, those gold sky blue eyes, lit up with amusement... Which I kinda felt was my thing, but hey, who was I gonna complain too? Anyway, she looked ready to say sum, but then the guys from earlier, who hadn't fully left yet, turned back, and focused on us. I watched as they came on back, and noticed the scary lady wasn't even paying attention to them. "We will need to clean you up first... Hmm. How to do that?" She was off in her own little world, which was kinda weird, but hey, I wasn't saying that to her face.

Though, while she was thinking, the buggy guy came up to her, and reached out to grab her shoulder. "Yo lady? You fri...-" The moment before his hand tried to touch her, I saw her arm twitch, heard the sound of something being cut, then smelled food. It took me a second to realize what happened, but when I did, I felt the hair on my neck stand up. The guy's hand was on the ground, by her side, and one of her nai...- CLAWS. One of her claws dripped blood. It took him a moment to recognize his hand was gone, but when he did, he grabbed the stump, and almost screamed.

Almost. "Oh dear, we can't have that, now can we?" That said, I shivered as it felt like I was in danger, and saw as the one handed wonder was decapitated... But she didn't stop there. The other guy, the one I wanted to snack on earlier, got dragged over, and I noticed he bit the dust too...

(Ho-holy shit... How'd... How'd she... Wha?) She just killed off both guys like it was nuthin... "Whoa..." That was cool!

The cool lady just smiled, and gave me a nod. "Now, I believe introductions are in order. My name is Saeko Busujima, but you may also call me mother." Mother? Pfft, I'd call her mommy after the way she just deleted those guys. "What about you little one?" Little one? Oh hell no.

I tried getting up at that, though it hurt, I still did it. Standing up, I stuck my chest out, and huffed. "I.. Am not little! I am lithe!" I was! She could be a cool but scary dog la... "You have a tail? Dog ears?" I didn't notice them earlier, cause ya know, eyes of a killer an all that, but she had these furry ears, and this long tail that just swayed behind her. That was adorable!

My new mama just chuckled at that, and swept the trash and gunk off me. "Yes. Yes, I do. You may touch and play with them when you aren't covered in and smell like filth." Ouch! But so true! "Now, what is your name little one?" She did it again! I pouted at her, but she just laughed it off. It was hard to fight against her calling me that when she was tall as hell. Like, she was probably 180cms or something.

Anyway, she asked again, so I kinda HAD to answer her. "I'm Himiko Toga! Nice to meetcha mother dearest!"

She laughed again, a nice sound, that almost made me forget she just fuckin murdered two guys in under a second. Almost. The smell of their blood was still filling my nose, and that reminded me I was hungry. It didn't help my stomach rumbled, making the fact I was hungry known to the world. When she heard that, my new mom(?) Raised a brow, and hummed. "Oh my, that seems like something we should work on. Now my little one," AGH! "What would you like to eat?" Ou!

I looked at her claw, which was still dripping blood, and could feel myself drool. Sure, there were the other guys too, but they were belly first on the ground. I might've been starving, but I had standards! "Can I uh... Get that?" I was kinda worried how she'd take it, since everyone was all like 'ew you freak' or 'monster!' When I brought that up, though, she DID kill those guys, so maybe she was different?

She took a moment to get what I was looking at, but when she did, I coulda swore she wanted to laugh. The amused smile I got was a good sign too. But then she did something that caught me off guard. Instead of giving me the claw, she raised her wrist up, and gently brought it to my lips. "Drink."

I blinked, and just stared at her. No one's... No one's ever done THAT... "Are... Are you fer real?" She just kept the smile on her face, and nodded. I took a few seconds to stare at her some more, but after my stomach rumbled again, I licked my lips, and went for it. As my fangs pierced her skin, and her blood flowed in, I couldn't help but shudder. (Why is it cold?!) It wasn't that preserved kind of cold, but more of a icy cold. (... Kinda like ice cubes in a drink... It's nice.) That was a weird thought, but hey, who cared? I was getting a drink in who knows how long, and it was delicious!

I drank for a minute, maybe two, and when I was done, let go. I would've drank for longer, but there was something else about her blood that surprised me. It was filling. I was starving earlier, but a minute or two of drinking from my mom, which was a funny thought, and I felt like I'd had a whole days worth of blood. I wanted to think about that, think about how surprising that was, but after I let go, she hummed, and looked at me. "You sure you've had enough my dear?"

I balked at that, and just didn't know how to react. I felt full, and now that I could feel it, stronger then before. My wounds didn't even hurt anymore, which was weird, but I'd take it! That aside, she didn't mind me going for more?! (What the actual fuck?!) She shoulda been bleeding st...- I looked at her wrist, and blinked. "You're not bleeding anymore?" I couldn't even see the holes my fangs poked into her skin. They were just gone!

Hearing my perfectly reasonable question, my new mom just chuckled, and waved it off. "Of course I'm not. My healing factor could close a wound like that in the blink of an eye. But enough about that. Are you still hungry?" I just shook my head, because I couldn't say anything to that. Mommy dearest smiled again, and nodded. "Good." She looked me over, and that reminded me I was covered in literal trash. "Let's get you fixed up, shall we?" That said, she flashed purple for a sec, then suddenly, she had a purple napkin in her hand.

It was so WEIRD to go from starving and getting my shit kicked in, to full and being mothered as she used the napkin to wipe her blood or trash off my cheek, but hey, it was nice, so I'd take it. Though, I squirmed a little, which amused her. "Be still now dear." I dunno if it was the way she said it, so patiently and mama like, or the serene smile on her face and look in her eye, but I stilled, and let her do it.

After she cleaned my face, she made the napkin disappear, and after placing both hands on my shoulders, she flashed purple again, and made a big ass cloak appear on me! "What da fuck?" What else was I supposed to say to that?

Her grin just grew, and after taking a second to look over her work, nodded. "Good. Until we get you something better, that will do. Thankfully, it blocks the smell as well." Now that she said it, I couldn't smell the trash... The fuck kinda witchcraft?! I woulda said something else, but then her gaze turned to the two dead fucktards, and she hummed. "Let's just get rid of them before we leave." Huh? "Encase the world in silence and ice." COLD! It felt like winter, and my only saving grace was the cloak she made me. My new scary mommy brought her palm to her lips, and breathed out towards the bodies. Seeing and feeling the icy winds that came out was kinda scary, and seeing said bodies freeze into popsicles was even scarier.

Then, when both bodies and the blood, were frozen over, she nodded, then snapped her fingers. And like magic, it all broke down, and it was like two dudes were never killed. "Whoa... Cool."

She snorted, and gave me a look. "Oh, your father is going to LOVE you." Father?

I blinked at her, and just had to ask. "I got a daddy too?" I wasn't expecting THAT. I was going along with the whole 'You're my daughter now' thingy because it was interesting, but I could tell she didn't look that old... Ya know what? "How old are ya anyway?"

A smirk was her initial response, then she answered. "I am eighteen."

"PFFT! HUH?!" I could swear my eyes almost popped out of my skull! "Lies! Witchcraft! No way you're eighteen, ain't no way!" She looked to be in her early twenties at the very LEAST!

My new mom, WHO WAS TWO YEARS OLDER THEN ME, flashed me an amused smile, then put a hand on her cheek. "Ah, looking as good as I do is but one of my many talents my dear." Bullshit! I pouted at her, which just got me a chuckle. Shaking my pout off, she hummed, then gave me a look. "Anyway. Let's go introduce you to your new family." That froze me, almost as badly as her ice did.

Family. Again, I was going along with the whole mommy thing because it was interesting, but I didn't really have the best experience with 'family.' But again, (she just killed two guys and got rid of the evidence like it was nothin, sooo...) That in mind, I asked the big question. "Will they... Will they accept me?" I had to know. I didn't care if they were crazy, I knew I was missin some marbles, I just wanted em to accept me.

Mother dearest gave me a smile, a real and genuine one, and nodded. "Yes. They will." If it was a lie, it was the best lie of the century.

I looked at her for a few more seconds, then nodded. "Kay. I'm trustin ya here mother dearest. Try not ta get me killed, yeah?"

She just gave me a small laugh at that. "I'll ensure you don't die my dear. Now then." She looked at the ground for a bit, then kicked away a small bit of trash. "Do make sure not to dirty my fur." Huh? I wanted to question that, but then, I got why she said that. "... You can DO that?" Mother just turned into a purple fuckin wolf, that was maybe a foot shorter then me, and smiled... And seeing a wolf smile with all its fangs was both kinda fuckin scary, and REALLY cool. I couldn't keep myself from reaching out and petting her fur. It was so soft! Like, holy shit. Anyway, after a second or two of some not so heavy petting, she gave me a nudge, and that reminded me of what she said. I blinked for a sec, then jumped onto her. I never rode a wolf before, so first time for everything!

My wolf mama shook then padded the ground for a second, and when I didn't fall off, she nodded. And like that, she JUMPED. It was like taking off on a rocket! One moment we're in the alley, the next, we're at roof level! "WHAT THE FUUU...-" Then she started running! On air! (WHAT FRESH HELL IS THIS!?) The insane wolf that was now my mommy just barked out a laugh as she ran, and I had to hold on for dear life. "MOMMYYYYYYY!" She laughed even harder at that, but I WASN'T! (WHY DID I AGREE TO THIS?!) I didn't know anymore!

A few seconds of me screamin for my life later, and my crazy doggy mommy stopped running, and dropped us somewhere. I wasn't all there yet cause ya know, I went from '0 to holy fuck that's fast!' In a second or two. Even a crazy lady like me needs time to get used to that! But when I did, I looked at where we were, and blinked. "My daddy's at a karaoke place? Really?"

Mother dearest just gave me a nod, I didn't notice when she turned back into her person form, but she did. "Come, let's get you introduced." I didn't get to say anything, since she walked ahead, and opened the doors. Not wantin to be left behind, I followed after her. Though, I had to make sure I didn't walk into a few people. The girl with the weird ears almost bumped into me, but it was whatever.

Getting inside, I saw a bunch of people in the hallway to the side, and a bunch of others all looking at two tables. Turning to where they were all looking, I blinked, and recognized a trend. They all, aside from three of em, had the same kind of doggy ears and tail mother dearest had. Though, I felt my eyes lock onto someone specific. The moment I did, I could feel the hair on my neck stand up again. I couldn't see his front, but I already knew he was dangerous. A man with silver hair, two earrings on his doggy ears, in a black tee and some blue pants. He'd just gotten up, and walked over to the stage. "Let's have some REAL fun."

As he said that, I heard mom sigh. "Oh dear... Please don't go overboard my lord." My lord?

After she said that, I saw the man's ears twitch, and he looked back. "No promises mo lann!" After saying that, he smiled. But that's how I saw his eyes. A silver and black eye that shone like gems, and slit just like mine. I almost got lost in them, but when he looked over to me, and we made eye contact, I froze. DANGER! MONSTER! RUN! My instincts were going haywire as we looked at each other, but I couldn't move.

Mother must've known that, and put a hand on my head. I felt a little cold as she did, but that got me out of my flight response. I gave her a smile for that, and she returned it. "You'll get used to his presence. He is your father after all."

Aaand my brain screeched to a halt. (Nani the fuck? THAT'S my new dad?) He made me feel like I was a lamb in front of a dragon! Just by LOOKING at me! (... SCORE! The hell was I worried about? A monster? A freak? My new dad's scary as shit! Add the fact mother dearest is a murderer, and I'm set!) I still felt my flight instinct, but I was more pumped then anything!

Daddyo turned back, and went over to the TV and karaoke thingy, which helped calm my instincts down. "Now, let's introduce you to the rest of the pack, and your new family." There was MORE? I gave her a mile wide smile at that, and she returned it. "Follow me my dear." And so I did! We walked past the other randoms and made our way to the tables with the other dog eared people.

Getting there was easy, and when we did, I got a better look at my new family. Other then almost all of them having the doggy... (Wolfy? Mother dearest DIIID turn into one after all... But doggy sounds waaay cuter then wolfy... Doggy it is then.) Other then that, I could tell they were all dangerous. Not super dad level of dangerous, but still.

First up! The blonde with the tig ol bitties! (Like, whoa!) She felt dangerous, sure, but at the same time, it was like I was safe and warm. A total 180 from mother. She was also giving me a look like she knew something, but was just waitin on getting it confirmed or something.

Then there was the little munchkin in her lap. Bluish gray hair, a few shades different from super pops, ruby red eyes, in this cute little dress. The little squirt was giving me a confused but interested look, and matched with her finger on her lip, was an adorable picture.

Next up was this small woman, with a rack on her! (The fuck? How?! What is this witchcraft?!) I didn't know, but I wanted some of it! Anyway, she felt just as safe and warm as the blondie, but just more if that made sense. (Not that it needs to make sense to anyone other then me.) She looked cute though, and I wanted to hug her for some reason.

Up at bat for nu...- "Found it! Let's get this show on the road!" Well fuck you too new dad!

Aforementioned thought interrupter had locked in his song, and was giving the crowd a wide grin. His eyes danced with amusement, and his tail wagged fast as heck. "Who wants to bet he does something stupidly flashy?" The woman that was basically that playboy bunny hero, but more jacked. I didn't know her name, so that was what I was gonna go for.

The pinkett with the second biggest set of badongas in this whole place, looked like she was going to say something, but super dad spoke first. "Challenge accepted!" She closed her mouth, then pinched the bridge of her nose. I heard her mutter 'theatrical asshole', and snickered.

Though, after that, the music started, and super pops started tapping his sandals against the stage. The sound drew everyone's attention, and it felt like EVERYONE was focused on him. Then he started singing.

~What will we do with a drunken sailor?(I was tempted to have him sin
