Progression and meeting with the Senator

Days later and all was going according to plan. Natsuru got into the female side. Shizuku wasn't talking to me out of anger but I could tell, she was thinking of my words and power. I'm pretty sure she knows I let my guard down back there simply to test Natsuru. As such, she's been paying extra close attention to her. She even tried to spite me by putting her in a different class.

That loud class where Akane Mishima is. I can only assume she wants to try and drive Natsuru away from me by building strong attachments to Akane and herself before she intends to openly be hostile with me. To that, I say; good luck. I often visit Natsuru in her loud classroom while the class rep and her friends make money off Natsuru's beauty and popularity.

Even now I'm watching Natsuru and Akane change into very risqué outfits. School swimwear, tiny bikinis and much more. Of course, I took a few pictures myself.

~You look so delightfully embarrassed, Natsuru..~ I smile to myself, even as the class rep struts over to me.

"Ahem.. Photos of Natsuru are-" I shut her up with a sharp glare and smile at her.

"Hmmmm~? What was that? I'm sorry, can you repeat that? Were you trying to say I can't take pictures of my girlfriend?" I ask 'sweetly'.

"H-Hey! You're not Natsuru's girlfriend!" Akane protested while pointing at me.

Though Natsuru couldn't help but smile to herself as a deep red hue appeared on her face. Though it soon turned to dread when a bunch of the girls swarmed her and started demanding answers.

"Is this true!?" One of the girls asked, pulling on her arm.

"Eh? Um.." Natsuru didn't know how to answer and looked to me.

"Oh please.. Go on and answer, Natsuru" I smiled back at her, urging her to answer as the crowd's demands for her answer intensified.

~If you can't even stand up for yourself here and be assertive..~ My thoughts trailed off as I thought of more plans to make regarding Natsuru.

"She.. She isn't my girlfriend.." Natsuru said, closing her eyes as the crowd of girls and Akane sighed in relief.

~Haaah.. That's disappointing. Maybe she's not ready-~ My thoughts were cut off and I nearly choked on my own saliva as Natsuru shouted.

"She's my lover! Girlfriend is.. too shallow!" Natsuru declared, though her face was red and her breathing was hitched.

Genuine surprise overtook me this time. Natsuru exceeded my expectations it seems. Though I shouldn't have been too surprised, she was seen as the protagonist, after all. A genuine smile was brought to my face as I watched all the girls fawning over Natsuru deflate.

"N..No way.. That can't be! L-Lovers..?" Akane asked herself as the girls in the room became gloomy.

In response to her bold declaration, I let my mask slip just a bit as I walked towards the nervous Natsuru. Seeing that I was approaching, she bit her lip and anxiously waited until I stepped right up to her.

"That's right. We are lovers, Natsuru" I smile at her before cupping her cheeks and sealing my lips onto hers.

Seeing my bold response, the class rep wasted no time in taking numerous photos of me kissing Natsuru. Further basking in the despair of Natsuru's fans, I hummed in pleasure. Though some had some strange switch in them flip as they watched me snatch away their dream girl. Most surprising to see, was Akane, whose face was red as she watched the display.

Natsuru was a bit emboldened by my display of affection and wrapped her arms around me before she eagerly stuck her tongue out and tasted mine. Taking it as a sign of improvement on her boldness, I let her have a taste before lightly nibbling on her invading tongue.

"Not here, Natsuru" I whispered before licking my lips and facing the stunned crowd.

Quite a few of them were triggered but a quarter had that strange switch flipped in them. Mentally marking them for later, the bell rung, signaling that class was starting soon. Chuckling at Natsuru's wanting expression, I wave and leave the classroom, just to see Shizuku watching from the hall. I smile at her and walk by, stopping as soon as she grabbed my sleeve.

"Kaede. I.. want to know what you fully intend to do. Your words.. I've thought them over and reached only one conclusion" Shizuku said shakily.

"That one way track.. The world being full of rabbits.. You want to kill all the people who you see as 'rabbits'?" Shizuku asked, I couldn't help but chuckle.

"Kill them? What's the point in that? They'll kill themselves. Natural selection and dependency on the strong will kill them. The people who can't do anything but whine and complain who use up resources won't be able to live in the world I want without evolving" I explained, seeing the thoughtful expression on her face.

"Such a change is impossible. What'll you do? Rain down entrail animals to everyone on Earth? Kampfers can't beat nuclear weapons" Shizuku stated.

"Oh I agree. Everyone turning into a Kampfer though..? You think I'm crazy? As a species, we need men and women. As for nukes? Well, I have something in mind" I say, seeing her frustrated expression.

"Anyways.. Good that I have your attention now. I'll be going to Colorado for a week, starting tomorrow. You can stew over my words in my absence and try to win Akane over some more. But Natsuru's coming with me" Shizuku, hearing that last part, narrowed her eyes and began to protest.

"Senou just registered days ago. I will not permit an absence so soon after just getting her..." Shizuku stopped talking as her eyes widened.

I placed my hand on her shoulder as my 'War' blessing was activated. My growth apparent, as is my threatening aura. Shizuku felt it, pressing down on her like a heavy weight she could not shake off. I cupped her chin and lifted her head to meet my gaze.

"I don't believe I asked you, Shizuku. And seeing you deny it so vehemently makes me think you have some plans in store for Natsuru. While I certainly love to see myself proven right that we are quite alike.. I don't enjoy you trying to manipulate her" I say threateningly.

~Molding her is my job alone~ I think, letting a small chuckle out.

Seeing as I freaked her out enough, I suppressed my 'War' blessing and my stature and aura return to normal. Shizuku made a face I can only describe as.. worry?

"What.. happened to you? You were never like this" Shizuku folded her arms, suppressing her shaking.

"I was always like this. I just didn't truly realize until my attack years prior. Now if you excuse me, class has started" I say, continuing my walk to class.

"...I'm sorry.." I hear her apologize for some reason, but I don't stop.

-Later that day. POV: 3rd-

A private jet took off from Tokyo international airport. Inside was Sakura and Natsuru. Natsuru was in her female form, sitting across from Sakura while fidgeting nervously. Contrasting to her nervous appearance, Sakura looked calm and was sipping some mineral water with her leg folded over the other. Both were in their casual clothing with Natsuru in a shirt and blue camisole with blue jeans and sneakers while Sakura wore a fur collar denim jacket, a blue shirt and a white skirt.

"You really should relax. It's not like we're going to fall out of the sky, Natsuru" Sakura said, smirking at Natsuru's anxious expression.

"N-No.. It's not that. I'm just.. nervous about meeting your Dad...." Natsuru said, looking at Sakura with an uneasy smile.

"Ah, right.. Even if you do confirm we're lovers as a female, he'll still try to determine if you're worthy" Sakura hummed as she took another sip of her water.

"Eeeeh..." Natsuru deflated a little as she was considering doing just that.

"Maybe if I do it as a guy.." Natsuru groaned and said aloud.

"No. I'm not dating a boy, after all" Sakura replied, leaning back in her seat.

"Technically.. I am still a male though" Natsuru retorted, hearing Sakura sigh.

"Only because you fully haven't accepted being a Kampfer. You'd grow in power if you did, too" Sakura said, tapping her seat.

"You.. really couldn't accept me as a male?" Natsuru asked, her voice sounding hurt.

Sakura opened her eyes and stared at Natsuru's blue eyes seriously.

"You know.. Natsuru.. The reason I made you, a boy into a Kampfer.. Why do you think I did that?" Sakura asked, trying oh so hard not to laugh at her thinking face.

"Because.. we're childhood friends? And you wanted an ally for your plans to stop the pointless wars..?" Natsuru asked with a rather serious face.

"The last part is true but the childhood friend..? PFT..! I-I'm sorry.. I'm trying not to.. la- Hahahahahahaha!!" Sakura couldn't stop herself from laughing aloud.

Seeing Natsuru's downcast face made her laugh even more. She had to hold onto the armrest just so she wouldn't fall over. Then she shook her head and cupped Natsuru's face with an affectionate smile.

"No.. As a male, you didn't have much going for you anyway.. Now? You're popular, I'm actually attracted to you and you have still untapped abilities that can help me. Oh and save me the 'I wIsH sAkUrA wOUld LiKe mE iN mY mAlE bOdY' garbage. I'm a lesbian, dumbass" Sakura suppress another laugh upon seeing her face scrunch up as she finally understood, though she did still seem a bit saddened.

"You have to understand. I barely knew much about you until we truly talked that day and I found out about your parents being doctors. I saw in you, untapped potential and a possible partner" Sakura said, seeing Natsuru start to cheer up a little.

"But onto my attraction.. Say I turned into a guy, would you still like me?" Sakura asked, seeing her gag.

"Yeah, exactly. You're beyond dense but at least when you're a girl, it's cute. You're beginning to get better now too. When you're a guy I find it really... really tiring. The two living braincells in your head clearly aren't working hard enough if the choice is this hard to make. If you choose to be a girl, we both win. Oh and don't act like you prefer your male body.. I saw you trying to masturbate before Akane stormed in and tried to help you the other day" Sakura pointed out, seeing Natsuru's face turn crimson.

"I.. I just wanted to see.. Once! I.. urgh.." Natsuru looked away and pouted.

"I'm sorry I was harsh, but it was true. At least, the previous you wasn't really that bright" Sakura said, seeing Natsuru's pout deepen.

"Ahh fine.. Will this cheer you up?" Sakura asked, sitting on her lap while facing her with a mature smile.

"M..Maybe if we kiss some more. You left me high and dry earlier" Natsuru looked into Sakura's eyes hungrily and said.

"How greedy. Hmm.. can't say I don't like it though" Sakura placed her lips onto Natsuru's again, taking the lead this time.

Natsuru accepted it all as her hands roamed the confines of Sakura's back. She felt herself wanting more, even as she rolled her tongue over Sakura's. Like an itch she couldn't scratch yet, her hands squeezed her thighs but never traveled up into her skirt. The soft feeling of Sakura's lips, coupled with the fact that her breasts were pressed into hers started to drive her crazy. Right as Natsuru was about to reach under her skirt, they heard the pilot speak, alerting them of their landing in ten minutes.

~WHAAAAT!? We couldn't have been... for that long!? Why did I wait so long!?~ Natsuru shouted in her head as Sakura got off.

"Time sure does fly, doesn't it? That was fun" Sakura said simply, licking her lips as Natsuru felt her legs were asleep from having Sakura sit on them too long.

Natsuru hit her face with her palm, ~Aaaaagh! If only I made a move sooner!! No.. No.. this is good.. Builds up my tolerance.. At least I don't have to hide a boner~ Natsuru nodded to herself with a small exhale.

As soon as they landed, Natsuru had to lean on Sakura as she got up. Her legs wobbily from being asleep and another feeling Natsuru didn't notice before. Sakura snickered as she watched Natsuru slowly come to the realization she got wet. Though she snapped out of her amusement just in time to see her Father waiting for her with a happy smile and open arms.

"Pumpkin!" The Senator threw his arms around her and lifted her up in an embrace as Natsuru blinked in surprise at the giant, Giga Chad-like man.

~Th.. They're related..? How..?~ Natsuru asked herself.

"It's been so long! I missed you, Dad" Sakura smiled, genuinely seeming to miss her Father's company.

"I missed you too, Pumpkin. Now... who is this?" The senator asked, flashing a threatening smile at Natsuru.

~Oh.. nevermind. I can kinda see it now~
