Jenova's Daughter

CHAPTER EIGHT: The Ties That Bind


ReiMei knew instinctively that there was something radically wrong with her. She craved the calm she had once possessed only a week earlier. She knew the substance still clinging to her skin had altered her somehow. It was far too late for it to make any difference, but she sought the baths anyway. She had told Kadaj the truth. She was burning. Whether it was the residue on her skin, or Hojo’s persistent conditioning, it didn’t matter. She was on fire, her eyes shone with it. It ran through her veins, and her skin seemed aflame.

When she stepped into the water, she had to smother a scream. She couldn’t comprehend why she still suffered. Why did pain lance through her like bolts of electricity, making her keep her agony locked behind her teeth? Her tech, Gast, had not bothered to school her on the properties of Mako, and it’s effects on the human body. In the birth pod, Mako infusion was introduced of a long period of time, and the concentration mixed with the Oxyfluid was small, keeping the searing pain to a minimum. No Soldier would remember that pain, just as no child remember the exit from the womb.

The Mako bath was different. The substance was as close to pure Mako as Hojo could make it without killing the injured Soldier instead of healing him. The side effects were always much worse than what the Soldier experienced to put him in the immersion tank in the first place. Sometimes, the screaming went on for weeks.

There was one more thing about Mako therapy that ReiMei didn’t know. It was never administered to newly born Soldiers. Ever. Too much Mako was always a death sentence. The body could not withstand an overdose of the star-material, nor could the mind. The few who did manage to survive the treatment went utterly mad and had to be put down. Hojo would of course dissect them, study them, and pull them apart, but in the end, the subject would be executed.

ReiMei did not linger in the water of the bath. She frantically scrubbed herself clean, while jolts of agony raced back and forth within her. She dried off, rubbing her fair skin raw, trying to erase the feeling that the green muck still crawled all over her. Wrapping herself in a towel, she sped to her room, slamming the door behind her and locking it. She leaned against it, her heart thumping hard in her chest.

Her closet door was open, and she noticed that her leathers were hanging there. Loz had put away the long-vest she had left in his room. She took a step toward the clothes, but her eye caught the garment spread like an offering on her bed. A black robe of silk with red embroidery lay there, waiting her return from the infirmary. ReiMei wondered briefly which brother had placed it there, and where had he found such a garment? The thoughtfulness of the gift touched something within the Assassin for the fleetingest second. The urgency driving her receded just enough for her to ignore the pain that wracked her. She began to prepare for the final Bonding.

Loz awoke, a minor headache drumming slowly in his head. He looked down into the immersion tank and leapt up, his eyes wildly searching the room. ReiMei was gone! Had she run away again? His heart could not bear it when he found the petite green footprints of his sister’s passing.

They led to Yazoo’s room. Loz flicked on the light and shook his younger brother roughly. It took several attempts before Yazoo’s eyes fluttered open.

“ReiMei is not in the tank!” Loz said, his feline eyes full of alarm.

Yazoo was on his feet instantly, noticing the green globbets and footprints on his carpet. He and Loz followed them to the next location. Kadaj met them at his door.

“She’s in her room.” Kadaj told his siblings to relieve their panic. “She’s waiting for us. First, we need to talk.”

Yazoo and Loz filed into Kadaj’s room to listen to what he had to say.

“She’s healed.” Kadaj informed them. “But she is insane under Hojo’s conditioning. She’s suffering, and it has nothing to do with what she and I did. Hojo’s programming will kill her if we don’t help. I don’t know if you feel it too, but there is one more step to the Bonding. We have to do this for her or she’ll go mad.”

Kadaj knew neither of his siblings would deny their little sister in her time of need. Together, they went to ReiMei’s room.

Behind her door, her brothers found the suite lit with hundreds of candles. The flickering warmth played over the figure bowed in complete submission on the bed. Every fold and line of the robe she wore was perfect. Her hair had been brushed to a brilliant sheen, and had been carefully arranged to lay in a fan that blanketed the black robe.

Perhaps it had been Hojo’s ego that had made this last part of the Bonding into a full fledged Ritual. It seemed to serve some part of his god complex to subdue the most powerful creature he’d ever gene-spliced into existence in this way. The triplets looked at each other nervously. It did not seem right for ReiMei to present herself in this manner – not after what she’d been through. Yazoo stepped forward, laying a tender hand on his sister’s argent head.

“No.” He said softly. “Not this time. Not like this.”

Loz came to the other side of the bed to touch her silk clad shoulder.

“We decided, the three of us.” He told her. “This will be what you want.

Kadaj stepped to the end of the bed, cupping his little sister’s face to raise her eyes to his.

“Three brothers and a sister. A family of equals.” Kadaj said. “How can that be if one of us serves the others? We want to see who you really are.”

Yazoo and Loz smiled along with Kadaj.

“Even if you don’t know who that is.” Kadaj finished.

There was something familiar in the woman’s Mako eyes. Had the three men sparked her love once more, or was it the compulsion?

Yazoo and Loz lifted ReiMei up from her kneeling position and set her at the center of the head of the bed. Kadaj came and sat beside her, inviting her into a loose embrace. The geas had full hold of her and she rested her head against Kadaj’s chest. Loz and Yazoo climbed onto the bed, kneeling and facing each other. Yazoo reached up and stroked Loz’s square jaw. Loz grinned and his fingers flew to the buttons of Yazoo’s dark gauze shirt. Kadaj noticed that ReiMei’s eyes had gone wide with surprise.

“Do you want to see?” Kadaj asked his sister wickedly.

“Yes.” She replied with a hiss, a smile slowly making it’s way to her lips.

Yazoo’s gentle smile and Loz’s sardonic grin met in a kiss that quickly grew into heated passion. The thin sleeping garments vanished as their ardor grew. ReiMei looked on, the surprise gone from her expression. It was ruled now by curiosity and the slight pinch in her brow that belied her confusion. Her brothers had loved one another before her birth. If it had been a geas, or forced, one of them would have told her. Tears briefly stung her eyes. Why were they allowed freedom to love when she was not? Why all of this bullshit when procreation was a non-issue? Had it only been a guarantee that she would be a willing ‘present’ to her siblings?

Her thoughts drifted as Yazoo and Loz’s efforts drew her attention away. The middle brother had retired to his back, his mouth on the younger sibling’s sac as Yazoo knelt above him. ReiMei rose from where she’d been sitting with Kadaj, unable to hold herself in reserve. The Bonding must be completed, and she burned from the Mako poisoning. It heightened her senses to a fevered pitch, and she was quickly becoming a sensual being with no inhibitions, exactly as Hojo had planned it.

She climbed across Loz’s midsection and he raised his head long enough to grin at her before returning to his work on Yazoo’s testicles. ReiMei worked her way onto Loz’s manhood, a slight smile gracing her face, but not touching her eyes. It felt good to have him inside of her, just as good as the first time. When Loz issued a muffled moan, ReiMei’s smile grew a little wider, and a glint appeared in the swirling of her Mako eyes. Leaning forward on Loz’s chest, she took Yazoo’s neglected erection into her sweet mouth, making the second of her brothers moan in appreciation. He buried his hands in her silky fine hair. Loz’s hands were on her hips, and then ReiMei felt Kadaj’s touch, a hesitant pressure on her spine. She purred in response to the caress.

Kadaj put his mouth on ReiMei’s porcelain skin and began to leave a cooling wet trail from the nape of her neck, down to her spine. He went out to each hip, nipping at Loz’s fingers while he was there, and then finding his way to the dimples just below the small of her back. ReiMei purred again, urging Kadaj on. He ran his tongue between the perfect mounds of her cheeks, and then on to the puckered orifice within. He sucked on his fingers, drooling on them so he could use them to prepare her body for his manhood. He teased Loz too, raking his younger brother’s balls like a cat, and then blowing on them, causing them to draw in.

Kadaj was careful as he eased his way into ReiMei’s anus. She huffed a sigh through her nose and some latent strain of DNA kicked in as she purred deep in her chest, just like the feline she resembled. The tightness compressing Loz’s cock was too much when added to the off stroke he was feeling from the Eldest’s movements. Both the brother and the sister felt Loz’s organ pump seed deep into ReiMei. As electricity crackled in her head, he growled with delight. Next came the searing pain across her abdomen, but she had come to accept that this was part of her sexual experience.

ReiMei didn’t hesitate, but pulled away from her brothers. On hand firmly on Loz’s chest, she bid him to stay where he was. She directed Kadaj to the steaming bowl of water and cloth waiting by the bedside. She pointed to the spot between Loz’s legs, and her eyes told Yazoo to place himself there. She had Loz and Yazoo sit on the bed, facing each other, and making them scoot closer until their erections touched. ReiMei squirmed between them, taking Loz into her ass and Yazoo into her cunt. Kadaj came to them after he’d cleaned up and offered his member to ReiMei.

She took it greedily, filled once again with the love of her siblings. Her pleasure centers were inundated with sensory input, and it helped dull the high voltage fire that seemed to be growing hotter and more dangerous. Yazoo’s feline genes found his purr too, and it modulated to a growl when his orgasm shattered his composure. ReiMei quickly scrambled off of her sibling pile, once again, sending Loz to the water bowl, Yazoo to behind her, and Kadaj under her. This was the final part of The Bonding. After this, she could be herself at last!

Her eyes were locked intently on Kadaj’s, willing him to his climax so that she could be free. They were Mako poisoned eyes, and she would soon find a reason to seek madness, but not yet. It could wait for the time being. Kadaj did not purr as ReiMei and Yazoo had done, but his roar of release was clear enough. ReiMei jumped up rather abruptly, making all three of her brothers wince.

“It’s gone!” She cried gleefully, dancing on the bed around her siblings. “I can be me now!”

She froze unexpectedly and sank back down to the mattress.

“Who is that exactly?”

“You are sister!” Loz exclaimed, pulling her into an exuberant kiss.

“You are Assassin.” Kadaj added, wrapping his arms around her from behind.

Yazoo interrupted Loz’s kiss, taking ReiMei’s elfin chin in his delicate fingers to make her face him.

“You are incomplete.” He said sadly. “When you and I Bonded, you gave me your climax. This time, you did not, and I want it. You need to give it to me.”

“Hey,” Loz spoke up, “I noticed that too. You didn’t come for me. That’s not fair.”

“I’ve yet to feel you.” Kadaj whispered in her ear. “I owe you that much at least.”

Loz smothered his sister with another kiss, his tongue eagerly tasting the sweetness of her mouth. She found herself on her back with Kadaj and Yazoo suckling her even as they quested for the silver fur between her legs. The triplets brought her swiftly to an explosion that whited out her vision…or was it green? The electricity inside her arched her back high as it struck the orgasm, causing a second explosion. Female cum came trickling out of her, past her brother’s fingers. The next strike caused a searing agony centered on her abdomen that hit her so hard, her high arched back rose higher until only her head and her heels touched the mattress. She could hear Hojo laughing even though she’d never known the madman. The Mako was changing her body, but wracked in torment, ReiMei could not guess in what way.

ReiMei awoke some time later, floating in the clean, steaming water of the baths. Her brothers surrounded her, keeping her from drowning.

“Wow, little sister,” Loz commented, “Are you going to get off like that every time? I’m jealous.”

ReiMei’s smile was tender, even though her thoughts whispered ‘Don’t be’.

“Was that a fitting Bonding?” Yazoo asked.

ReiMei nodded, though her stomach lurched. Something had happened that frightened her, and she had no way of knowing what it was.

“How are you feeling?” Kadaj inquired, his expression the kindest she had ever seen.

“Sleepy.” ReiMei replied, even though she really wanted to say ‘Terrified’.

“Do you want to sleep alone, or do you want company?” Kadaj questioned.

“Take me to bed, please?” ReiMei responded. “And stay with me…all of you.”

A/N To cherry, I realize that I've switched the order of the triplets ages, but I am going by when the birthpods opened. In actuality, yes, Kadaj is the youngest, but born first, Loz the oldest, born second, and Yazoo, the middle child, born last.

I also beg patience from my readers. This is all I have written in the notebook. Don't worry, I'm on it, and I'll have more chapters posted as soon as I can. Thank you.
