CHP21: Upcoming Test
Into the dining room and with Akasha out front was a long table capable of fitting up to twenty persons on either side, so there was more than enough room for all the guests. No one had much time to settle as another of Akasha's servants entered.
"My queen, Mister Orsic's carriage has arrived. Shall we see him inside?"
The vampire nibbled back as she wasn't assuming his arrival. They weren't to talk or meet until after a week as she specified her schedule would be full the entire week. This was all affirmed with Bruce in mind and the fact that he'd be staying under the castle. The less exposure to the outer world for the time being was for the better in his case.
"I ah... yes you may see him in," the Dark Lord nodded.
Akasha then looked to her father as she let out a groan.
"For no reason can Bruce be exposed as Sasha's father and nor the identities of them, known."
"Unquestionably," Apollo nodded his head in agreement. "Such news getting out would garner unsolicited attention."
Immediately afterwards Akasha turned to everyone and explained to them the situation. There was a clear understanding and with no questions and it was shortly after this that Apollo made eye contact with Sasha for the first time. She immediately squeaked and took off just before hiding behind her father's side. With all that went on and the addition of the human world's defenders in attendance he hadn't seen her until that very moment. Apollo managed only two steps in that direction before Akasha's hand lowered over his left shoulder.
"Leave her be," the pink haired vampire shook her head. "You'll have to take it slow in regaining her trust and then you can focus on rebuilding and adding to your relationship."
Apollo didn't respond nor look at Akasha as he was too busy keying in over the child's inner force jumping about. This indicated what he already knew and it was that she was afraid, and that clearly being of himself. Knowing this brought a sense of twinge to his very soul and he would stop at nothing less than to repair what had been damaged.
And it was just after that to which those who hadn't properly introduced themselves to the yokai emperor did so. He was honored to allow them admission into the realm and though he didn't know all their stories he was aware of the great deeds most of them accomplished.
"So you're Akasha's papa," Makai's queen was one of the last to approach. "I've heard much about you from all over, particularly those that have voyaged both this realm and my own."
"Your own? And just who might you be?" Apollo looked this woman over closely.
"Morrigan Aensland, queen and ruler of Makai," she responded.
The yokai emperor was taken aback with his shoulders tightening and with a grin.
"To think I'd acquire the opportunity to meet the daughter of my old friend, Belial Aensland."
The succubi's eyes lit up with her hands hugged together.
"You knew my father, how?" Morrigan probed with much interest.
"We didn't just know each other, we were also a great help to one another once upon a time. Give or take the last time we spoke would have been just over six hundred years ago. We were knowledgeable in our own regard and so we often times cooperated in the ninth through tenth century. I wouldn't have referred to us as partners in crime however, we were rulers of separate realms and agendas."
"Different agendas huh," Morrigan held a smile of her own. "I'm interested, please do tell more."
The emperor coughed and cleared his throat before continuing and Morrigan wasn't the only one listening in as both Wonder Girl and Ruby did so as well.
"We had very many differences and standpoints, much of which political, social and all the other little fixations of life. I won't get into all that as I fear we might be standing here for hours, however I shall entertain you with a singular subject where we differed. And I refer to the idea of man and monster openly living amongst one another as a society."
"He despised humans?" Cassandra asked.
Apollo only shook his head.
"On the contrary, much like myself he held them in high regard and it was only in provisions of moving forward and terms of living that our views separated. While my goal has been to reach and build a foundation that would include both humans and monsters alike residing together."
"He saw things different?" Ruby asked.
Right away Apollo again shook his head.
"That wasn't it at all, Belial respected my views just as much as I did his and we respectively disagreed as we did other issues. His belief on the matter were that man and monster were best suited living apart in our own separate worlds. He truly assumed that both worlds could never fully bloom as neither side would ever really accept or understand the other. And without an understanding comes fear and hatred, many entities fear what they don't know which breeds war."
"Then it sounds like Belial might have been onto something," Kara-Zor-El moved in on them. "Sorry for eavesdropping, kinda can't help it sometime, you know super hearing."
Cassie was the only one to laugh while both Apollo and Ruby hadn't any idea what was so amusing as neither realized she was a kryptonian just as Kal. Either way Ruby brushed the comment aside as she had something of her own to add.
"She does make a point about Belial being onto something..."
The witch's voice trailed off as everyone looked to her.
"I guess what I'm saying is that in many ways humans have yet to justly find peace among themselves, fighting and starting wars over the darndest things. Whether it be cultural, political or just dissimilar views, they fight and kill each other for absolutely no reason and the same can be said for yokai and all monsters, we're no different. Truth be told if things are that way without coexistence, just imagine what sort of chaos could erupt if both worlds were mashed and we lived together."
Her vast words and perspective really got everyone engaged in the conversation thinking. There were valid points to be argued on both sides.
"Very true and quite insightful of you miss Ruby," Apollo couldn't help but be enthralled by her knowledgeable input. "As is and the current state of affairs in both worlds, there could be no coexistence. My goal has always been to reach that point and though there is much ground to gain before that becomes a reality, both sides are so much closer than they would have been even half a century ago."
"Very interesting," Morrigan snickered to herself. "I can't say that I'm for or against either belief. I'm a woman that enjoys the finer things in life and having a great time. Aside from my active duties, that's really all that matters."
Kara was with a smile as she mostly agreed with the assertion. A few words were traded before they joined everyone else at the table. While Apollo sat at one end of the table, Akasha was at the other and everyone else in between. Plates of food were fetched and placed over the lengthy table. Everyone noticed something almost immediately, which had to do with the food and Akasha letting out a snicker.
"I've had more than a day or so to prepare for your arrival and I wanted you all to feel right at home so I had my chefs' cook up dishes you'd be familiar with from the human world."
"Very appreciative, you're scoring points early and often," Dick Grayson complimented.
The vampire was without a response but that didn't stop her from smiling. In just two minutes they were joined by not only Colton Orsic, but two of his lady friends that were with him, locked arms and all.
"Hello, hello, sorry to crash the party unannounced, but something sure does smell good."
Colton sniffed at the air as he unlinked from the two female vampires.
"Akasha-sama!" both ladies waved as they bowed their heads.
The pink haired vampire smiled at them which was then followed by a nod of appreciation. Colton moved up on Akasha and rubbing a hand over her side.
"Sorry again for swinging by like this. The gals and I were just coming from a party in the general direction so I figured we'd stop by."
"It isn't any trouble, you're always welcomed here," Akasha smiled at him.
Colton did the same just before bringing his lips to hers, but in the last instant Akasha avoided him with the tilt of her head.
"Something wrong?"
"No, you see it's just..." Akasha looked away from him and to the group sitting around. "There's so much on my plate."
Colton took a look for himself before his eyes fell back over the Dark Lord.
"Who are these people?" he asked naturally.
Akasha barely got her mouth open as someone answered before she had the opportunity to.
"We're here on business from a very, very far away kingdom, and the queen here has been so generous as to host us on such short notice and with great hospitality," Kara emphasized with a grin.
The Dark Lord just about giggled but bit over her tongue to keep it from getting out.
"Yes indeed, it has been quite the journey, but well worth the trip," Starfire decided to add and play along. "But with such important matters to discuss it simply couldn't be helped."
"I see," Colton nodded. "Then it would appear I've come at a bad time."
"Nonsense!" Diana interjected. "We're simply having dinner and we'd love for you to join us, all of you."
The amazon princess didn't just look to Colton, but his two female companions.
"I don't see why not," he looked to Akasha and shrugged. "I could use a bite to eat and since it's fine with your business acquaintances I'll stay for a while."
Colton took only one step towards the table before noticing someone sitting at the opposite end of the table and swallowing his own saliva.
"My emperor!" the vampire quickly bowed his head. "I had no clue you were here."
For only a moment did his eyes stay on Apollo before surveying the rest of the table and that's when he spotted her and his eyes almost falling out of their sockets.
"Sasha!"
"Hiya, Orsic-san," the child vampire waved at him.
Colton blinked a couple times over as his jaw fell.
"Where in the hell did you even find her?!" Colton turned and looked to Akasha. "Why didn't you tell me she had returned?"
"I was going to, but didn't get the chance. Father found her touring the human world and thankfully she was unharmed, I'll tell you all about it later. But for now let's all just relax and enjoy a feast."
And just like that Akasha returned to her seat at the head of the table as Colton sat to her left and one of his lady friends beside him. The other settled in right across from him. Additional dishes were brought into the room and laid out over the table by chefs and maidens of the Bloodriver castle. Side conversations ensued from there as the guests enjoyed the banquet while at the same time conversing with one another. For just over twenty minutes things were this way and Colton reaching out with his hand lowered atop Akasha's. The Dark Lord shuddered with visible discomfort at this.
Though she was a couple seats down Moka saw this reaction and tracking her mother's eyes which looked in the direction of someone specifically, being Sasha'a father. Moka enjoyed every bit that Orsic's very touch tormented the Dark Lord.
"You're too tense Akasha, lighten up a little," Colton spoke in a groan.
Akasha didn't realize it but while Colton rubbed his hand atop hers, beneath the table the woman sitting beside him had her hand down his pants. He quietly moaned as she so gently stroked him off. And on the opposite end of the table things were entirely different. A handful of the earth's defenders listened in on Apollo telling past stories involving himself. There was no one more dialed into this all than Wonder Girl, Starfire, Arthur Curry, Diana and Ruby.
"Tell us more, you can't stop there!" Starfire exhilarated. "You said the revolutionaries retaliated against the kingdom of Thishieita royals, but that doesn't explain how the Morphlet tribe got involved or the kingdom of Aqualanteis!"
Cassandra was equally as anxious to hear the outcome of the story.
"She's absolutely right, you said things got so bad that Queen Ella Laurent of the mermaids jumped in, but even she and her army of mermaids and mermen weren't able to bring a calm to the situation. What was the result of them involving themselves when none of this had to do with their homeland affairs?" the amazon was with her elbows over the table.
Apollo took a sip of what was inside his glass before leaning forward with his hands overlapping.
"Yes, Yes it was queen Ella Laurent at the time, a very distant ancestor of the current mermaid queen, Yasmine. And you asked why the kingdom of Aqualanteis stepped in, yes? Well it's really quite simple, goblins are the greatest earth dwelling allies to mermen and mermaids."
"So naturally they'd lend a helping hand," Diana chimed in.
"Very much," Apollo nodded. "Mermaids and goblins share a similar relationship to one another as elves do to dragons, but back to the story at hand. My involvement only became necessary after a certain amount of bloodshed and the queen herself reaching out."

It was after dinner that he found himself inside his room and sitting over the edge of the bed and staring into the mirror just over the dresser as two persons appeared through the open doorway. He only gave the two of them a quick look before his eyes fell over the ground as he was in bottomless thought. Both took this as an invitation to enter and the first being the purple haired vampire, Selene Kayeda and the second Clark Kent who closed the door behind them. For a little while the two just stood and looked down over him without words until Selene did so.
"I think I understand, but I'd like for you to confirm it," she breathed out. "What you did back there, asserting you had fallen to Akasha-sama... it was all for her sake, was it not?"
As expected there wasn't an immediate answer and so both Selene and Clark stayed silent waiting it out, knowing he would talk when he was ready and this happened and that wait wasn't for very long.
"Yes and no," his tone low but both able to hear him clearly. "Partially, but there's another reason and that reason the most important. Akasha Bloodriver is one of the greatest living vampire warriors in past or present with battle skills unmatchable by nearly ninety percent of the entire yokai realm."
"No question about that," Selene nodded her head. "At the height of her power she'd wipe the floor with even the best of them. That has been well documented, Mister Wayne."
"Clearly. But the whole purpose of me being here is all because of one thing... Apollo. He wishes to know if I'm somehow a threat, or might become one. His appearance under the Bloodriver castle and finding out his daughter, the great Bloodriver Akasha was defeated by myself in combat would be a bad start. The whole purpose of this visit is to show him and get him to see that I'm not someone that should be seen as a menace."
Clark immediately shook his head at this.
"You getting the better of Akasha has little to do with your turning and everything to do with your natural talent and skills. You didn't just gain all of that after your turning, your battle skill has been through the years you've built yourself up, confronting not only Gotham's criminals but the world's worst monsters."
"Good point, but I must counter," Selene focused in on Clark. "Yes, Wayne is a brilliant tactician and martial artist... surpassing even my master, but you're forgetting one detail that the emperor would not so easily overlook. Bruce is a newly turned and that in itself shouldn't make it remotely possible for him to get the better of my master for the reasons I'm about to detail."
Clark wasn't the only one listening in with content, but Bruce doing the same as he leaned forward.
"Even with his turning, Akasha's base speed and strength put her on a much higher level than his current limits and then there's also control of one's body. And when I say that I refer to speed, power, precision, elusiveness and the ability to read and react. Your typical vampire usually takes a handful of years before mastering this all and working towards the path of reaching their full potential. Even in just over a year, the time that you've had to train a newly turned shouldn't hold anywhere near the control that you do. Far as Akasha-sama knows and our emperor, you've been turned for only four months and with no combat training as a vampire. Both which are false, and I'm positive Akasha-sama realized this during her battle with you."
"How can you say for sure?" Bruce questioned.
"She gave me a look afterwards," the medic sighed with her eyes over the ground for a moment. "A look so powerful and dark that my bones literally quivered. Surprisingly enough she hasn't come to me yet, undoubtedly because all the proceedings and then the arrival of her father. But I know she'll question my original report."
"Then what?" Clark responded with crossed arms.
This resulted in another few seconds of hush before she again spoke.
"I'll think up something," Selene simply shrugged. "Revealing some of what has occurred behind the scenes might be necessary at this point. She's no idiot and will have discovered this at some point or another regardless. She's very intuitive as you know. But as I was saying before, if Apollo knew of the true results of your bout red flags would rise. A newly turned in four months, despite impressive combat skill beforehand wouldn't have the control to maneuver his or her own body in a way that would be capable of defending against any polished opponent with higher or equal strength. To conceivably do what you did against Akasha-sama would require a minimum five to ten years of concentrated training by a typical vampire, combat skills and technique aside. I refer only to the control of his body, combining all his senses."
"You said five to ten years," Clark's eyes narrowed with question. "Then how did he..."
"Even I don't have the answer, Wayne is a very special case. You know of his resilience, will and determination... all of this combined with the state of his conditioned body before his turning have all played huge factors in this result. His growth in strength after a said battle is just over four to five times the rate of the natural born vampire, which is just unheard of! If Apollo were to discover this, coupled with what transpired between his daughter and Wayne he'd..."
"He'd have plenty of reason to fear what he might become," Clark's head lowered as he closed his eyes for a moment. "Then for the time being until a bridge of faith and trust are reached, it's ideal that he doesn't."
"Precisely," Selene shook her head. "Except there's one problem. I'm unaware of the details surrounding the test coming up, but one things for certain and I'm sure of it… Apollo will want to see your full power. Yokai and aura powered to the max, and when that happens you will without a doubt be under house arrest in his estate for weeks and possibly months, no questions asked. Control aside, your levels of strength and overall power at this point in just a year, let alone four months would be tremendously troubling. Most vampires in even a decade don't reach the levels that you have. If you try using a holy lock or anything such as that to mask your yokai and aura, he'll know. There is no winning in this test for you… unless you could find a way to decrease and hide your current max, which is impossible. Only few are on the same level as our emperor at yokai detection, there will be no way of cheating your way out of this one, Mister Wayne. Anything I detail to Akasha-sama will be in a limited capacity. She's very close with her father and it wouldn't surprise me if she went to him with certain information."
"There's always a way, nothing is impossible," Bruce looked into her eyes. "I will pass this test in every regard."
With one step back Clark looked to the ceiling for a quick instant before his gaze lowered back over Bruce.
"I wish things weren't this way and us having to cover up so much from those who're considered allies. But in this case I suppose it really can't be helped," Clark exhaled. "
The conversation was hindered as Kal picked up on footsteps from nearly thirty feet down the hall with both Bruce and Selene detecting an incoming yokai energy signature. They waited and waited as this person drew nearer and before they knew it the door to his bedroom was pushed open and standing in the doorway was the silver haired vampire and looking directly at Bruce.
"Grandfather wishes to speak with you," Moka said.
"In private?" Bruce stood from the bed.
"Don't know," she shrugged.
"On my way."
Bruce walked toward and sided with Moka as they stepped out into the hall.
"I must keep my distance from Wayne," Selene spoke up. "Especially while Apollo is around, or he might start suspecting something."
"That doesn't sound like such a bad idea," Clark nodded as he stepped forward and headed for the exit himself. "But our situations are different, I'm going to see what this is all about."
Both the kryptonian and vampire were quickly out of the room but Selene heading the opposite way to Clark who caught up with both Moka and Bruce. It was just down the first hall that Bruce cleared his throat and looking to Kal from the corner of his eye.
"Clark, I need a favor."
His teammate raised an eyebrow but just as quickly returned the gaze.
"Name it."
"I need you to make contact with Doctor Fate and tell him I want to meet. The sooner the better and for obvious reasons I'm in no position to do so myself."
This was certainly a strange request and one Clark didn't see coming, but even so nodded.
"I'll get it taken care of," Kal smiled.
And it was almost on the other side of the castle where the emperor awaited them, standing over one of the many balcony's within the castle and a great view which overlooked the entirety of Hiklorhan. The harbinger was with his back to them and his fingers tapping up against and over the railing.
"Grandfather," Moka called out to him. "We're..."
"I am aware, my child," Apollo smiled as he turned and faced them. "You may leave us."
His eyes specifically looked to Moka and so as she turned to step through the doors, Clark managed only a slight pivot before Apollo called out to him.
"No, not you," Apollo shook his head. "You may stay, what I wish to converse with Wayne is something you may hear as well."
Without restraint or hesitation Bruce walked forward and out in front of Apollo with Clark just a few steps behind. He looked back and forth between both men and with a smile over his features, before his eyes settled over Clark.
"And so what do you go by, what shall I call you? Certainly it would be somewhat a hindrance addressing you by your world celebrated title, at times such as now."
Clark let out a chuckle at this with a quick nod, not at all surprised Apollo recognized him through the pair of glasses disguise.
"No doubt about that, call me Kal."
"Kal huh," Apollo looked away from both men as his hands returned to the balcony's railing. "Simple enough."
The harbinger very much enjoyed the cool breeze over his face and the way the moon peeked through the clouds and its light illuminating.
"What did you want to discuss?" Bruce asked.
"You, my boy."
There wasn't the slightest bit of reluctance in Apollo's voice as he again turned around and faced them.
"For one that has just turned, there are some irregularities," he gazed into Bruce's eyes. "From what I've seen and observed of you thus far since my entrance has been nothing short of intriguing. You appear mindful, well mannered, grounded and disciplined. None of these are qualities found in a human that has succumbed to vampirism, in the span of even twelve months and here you stand cool headed and without a shred of killer instinct."
The Harbinger paced about and with his hands behind his back but never taking his eyes off Bruce.
"No other before you in all my ages that I've witnessed go through exactly what you are now and been as in power as you are now in this timeframe, and I refer only to those who gathered the proper supervision," Apollo implied.
"There were others?" Bruce questioned. "I was under the impression any and all turned subjects were struck down and fed to the roaches, no questions asked."
Apollo wasn't at all amused by this remark and frowned upon Bruce with no intent to respond.
"And those that hadn't in such a span would have turned to carnage and going on a killing spree, downing any and everything! You expect me to believe by some miracle from the heavens you've defied the impossible and without a watchful eye are level headed as you are now... I don't think so, boy! I've lived for millenniums and have seen it all, many things, creatures, people and things. There isn't anything I haven't consulted or dealt with!"
"But then came the likes of the Justice League, demons and alien lifeforms from the furthest reaches of our galaxy that you never believed possible," Bruce looked into his eyes. "The universe is endless and while you've lived for long, things are always changing and you don't know what you can't see... none of us does. And while you're more knowledgeable than most and carry insight you'll find this day and age even someone such as yourself will be confronted with situations, people and things that you have no answer to and just as the league you'll find that I'm unlike the other wolves in the wilderness."
The yokai emperor did nothing but chortle as he took a step back.
"Such a display of arrogance isn't befitting for you, boy. You're a human turned vampire who has lost what made you wholesome and believe it or not I have nothing but feelings of remorse and hurt. Such a transgression was not meant to be and for that I apologize but don't think for a second to question my knowledge, you're just as any other vampire full of self-pride and brashness. I've seen and dealt with many of your type and you're foolish to believe otherwise."
"Is that what you think?" Bruce questioned.
By this point Clark was just about ready to interrupt but held back and just continued listening.
"It is what I know, Mister Wayne. You've yet to live half a century and speak as if you know it all when you know absolutely nothing and if you aren't careful that self-absorption may be the death of you sooner rather than later. Now tell me who was it, who has looked over you in these past few weeks?"
"The league," Bruce responded.
Their gazes were frozen into each other's and Clark looking back between them both as he felt the atmosphere around intensify.
"You really expect me to believe that, do you boy?" Apollo glowered. "I'm only here to support and so the least you could do is show honesty. Now I'll ask again, who is responsible for the control you currently possess over yourself. None from your Justice League are of the world of yokai and wouldn't remotely be capable of maintaining you as you are now. When I look into your eyes I see so much calmness and focus, which would not be achievable without..."
"I gave my answer, and I'm sufficient as you can see. That should be good enough."
A brief second of silence fell upon them and Apollo standing with his arms crossed.
"Is that really where you want to go with this, Mister Wayne. The truth will come out sooner or later and you can't expect that it prevaricates me for long."
Bruce was without a response this time around their gazes bolted for only a little while longer before the Harbinger looked him off and exhaled.
"I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, as what I've heard from my daughter has been all good and while my own little research was with mixed results you don't appear to be such a bad person. But don't think for a second that my foot is off the petal and you will be under close observation for the entire time that you're here and at the end of the week you will meet with me inside my estate and from there I shall determine whether or not your stay and how I shall deal with this situation."
"I came on my own free will and I shall leave when I chose, not when you or anyone else says."
Clark coughed and cleared his throat as he stepped forward.
"And how exactly will you determine if he stays or not?"
"A simple test," the emperor looked to Kal. "And if he passes then I'll let this go for the time being but that doesn't mean I won't send someone to occasionally check up on him or do so myself. Anything bad that comes of him in direct result because of his turning falls on my shoulders. That is all I'll say on the matter, so till then, goodnight."
Apollo had said all he needed to for the time being and so he was on his way through the sliding doors and leaving the two of them behind.
"What will you do?" Clark posed, looking to Bruce.
"The only thing that I can," Bruce looked to Kal. "Pass the test, whatever it might be."
"That's what I like to hear," Clark grinned at him just before pulling out a small tool. "I'll be returning to our world for now, and look up Doctor Fate's whereabouts."
While standing in place Bruce watched Clark disappear as he triggered the device. For the next hour he just stood there over the balcony with immeasurable thoughts before eventually returning to his room and it was almost instantaneously that he felt another presence as he lowered his hand over the doorknob. He paused for a moment before pushing through and he was only halfway through the door when his collar was pulled at and her lips compelled against his as she kissed him with lust and her arms wrapped around his neck.
"Hello lover," the succubus broke away moments later and looking up at him with impious eyes. "I'd say I've waited long enough for this."
Morrigan purred as her naked body rubbed up against him.
"We can't here, not..."
She shushed him with another kiss before pulling away and ceasing his arm as she jerked him towards the bed and pushed him down as she arranged herself atop him and sealed lips with Bruce again, and her tongue exploring his mouth as she moaned into the kiss.
"I want you to make love to me," she broke away as she ran a hand over the side of his face. "That isn't an invite, but an order."
"Is that so?" Bruce smiled up at her.
Makai's queen proceeded to unbutton his shirt and kissing at his bare chest with each button that she undid. At his waist she unbuckled his belt and pulling down his pants just enough and taking hold of his member which was already erected as she pulled, tugged and fondled it.
"Gosh, it's so hard and firm and I think you might have grown an inch since your turning," the succubi queen smiled up at him as both laughed.
Morrigan then lowered her head and trailing her tongue over the wholeness of his length before taking in into her mouth in one go and sucking him off. Her head bobbed up and down as she circled her tongue around it and Bruce groaning at the feel of the wetness and the way she slurped. He ran his hand through her hair and even over the wings stemming out of her head as she deep throated his cock. For the next couple minutes this went on before the two embraced in another kiss as she helped him remove his shirt and Bruce kicking off his pants. They repositioned over the bed with Morrigan on her back and Bruce atop her.
"I've waited so long for this," she whispered.
"I'll make it worth your while," Bruce smirked.
She braced herself as he inserted himself inside her and his hips shooting forward as he started slow, and Morrigan's legs wrapped around him moaning as he gave her more and more of his rod with each thrust. But then surprisingly he lowered his head and bit into the left side of her neck and drinking her blood which caused the succubi's eyes to roll into the back of her head with intensified pleasure. Her moans became louder as he increased his pace while feeding upon her, and without anyway of holding back she climaxed over him as she bit at her lower lip.
"Amazing, so amazing, I'm going to lose my mind!" she cried out in pleasure.

Jitoshi was one of the last to enter into the quarters of Ched Vlet as everyone else had gathered around, being himself, Clayface, Kahlua Shuzen, Captain Cold and Akua Shuzen. Across from them were Ched Vlet, Kiria Yoshii and someone they hadn't seen in weeks.
"Al Ghul," Akua stepped forward as she looked the demon's head over. "What brings you here?"
"He comes with significant information, I can assure you. The group of you led by Yoshii Kiria have another mission, the human world again. And this time you will be heading to Iceland where Ra's Al Ghul and his league of assassins have discovered the vicinity of what we believe lies two separate pieces of the Chirismoy shells."
"Why so many of us?" Captain Cold questioned with a single step forward. "This job hardly calls for the participation of us all, half of this lot should be more than capable of..."
"We aren't taking any chances," Kiria specifically looked over the duo of Akua and Kahlua. "Surely the two of you haven't forgotten what occurred in Central City?"
The two vampires only gave one another a quick look but knew exactly what it was he meant.
"That was an isolated incident. You can't really believe that's even in the realm of possibilities, it was pure chance that the Flash stumbled over us," Kahlua voiced. "And if I've heard right Central City is like his backyard."
"Do not underestimate them, Shuzen," Ra's sounded. "Half of you will be on standby while the others will pursue the objects of interest. We must presume they're now onto at least the idea of our gathering."
The room quieted for a moment.
"Jitoshi, Captain Cold and Kahlua," Ched looked over the three of them respectively. "The three of you will take a head start alongside a handful of our lower ranks on scene. You will first confirm the shells and then we shall proceed from there. Each of you will be afforded a small tracking device that when close enough will alert and confirm the shells."
"Confirm them, now that's interesting. I was under the impression this had already been determined."
Ched immediately shook his head.
"If in fact the Chirismoy shells as sources state there will be two pieces guarded by a tribe known as the Gold Laws. And interestingly I've already confirmed so myself, this tribe is made up of yokai," Vlet implied.
"How certain are you of this?" Akua crossed her arms. "As a child I heard stories of the Gold Laws and its history, but nothing suggesting monsters or yokai. From my knowledge it is a tribe ranging back into the mid seventeenth century, made up of man."
"Ched-sama speaks the truth," Q-Bee chimed in as she entered through a side door. "I had a run in with them once in the past five years, they're well trained and mostly consist of Onikuma type yokai. They won't be an easy bunch to get by."
Akua looked back and forth between them, but without words.
"The Golden Laws have lived amongst humans for countless generations and have never revealed their true nature. And from what I've dug up, they cherish the two pieces in their possession like nothing else since the forming of their tribe. To them it is considered artifacts passed down from the heavens. Just a little bit of background you should be curious of as they will guard the two pieces no matter what, even if it means death," Ched informed.
It was then Cheetah that laughed.
"Then die they shall," Kahlua rubbed her hands together.
"Well then, I'm about as anxious as the next gal or guy to get this over with," Jitoshi looked specifically to Ched. "When will we get this show on the road?"
Up and out of his chair, Ched pointed to the exit.
"No need for any further postponement, I've said all I've needed to say. A group of twenty awaits the three of you down the hall where you will then relocate to Iceland and group with others and report back to us and then we shall strike," Ched grinned.

Since the night of that party things had been different and this couldn't have been more apparent when they were in the presence of each other. It seemed as though she was purposely avoiding him and the more he thought about that it was for the better. If things escalated or went any further the consequences in his case could be dire. What occurred never should have went that far and even with that in mind that didn't stop him from constantly thinking about her and recalling how soft her lips were against his.
"Luke."
He turned and looked down the hall and that's when he saw her approaching.
"Dinah," Luke waved as she did the same back.
In just a couple steps she sided with him as they continued down the hall together.
"A few of the trainees are about to go through a workout practice and I think it might be a good idea that we joined them. What do you say?"
"I'm not otherwise doing anything else at the moment," Luke responded.
"It really isn't all bad and most are easy to get along with except for the occasional hothead."
They laughed while prolonging further down the hall and into the training facility. It was just as they entered that Prince Arlo stepped out and in a conversation with two soldiers.
"Correct, the lieutenant general and her unit took off on a mandatory mission. They won't return until a little over a week. It'll be up to us and every other unit to hold down the fort during that time," Arlo conveyed.
"We'll handle just fine, with any luck their journey should end a day or so early," one added.
They were into the hall quickly and listening in over the exchange brought Isla back to his thoughts. It wasn't until they were inside the gym and really got going did Luke truly clear his mind. Dinah and Luke started with cardio based workouts and throughout the gym were many working on their own singular routines. They worked hard for the next hour straight and both breaking a pretty good sweat. And while Dinah branched off and joined the trainees in the wide group routine, Luke headed through a door in a far corner of the gym which led into the weight room.
He gazed around at all the equipment and with a smile over his face. And while much of the materials around were very different in design to what he was accustomed to, all would get the job done. The kingdom of Vindellorien might have lacked in technology, but made up for in sorcery and magic. Luke didn't waste time going right to work as he started light with a couple dumbbells and did so for the next several minutes as a means of warming up.
Following that he worked out his shoulders and receiving a good burning sensation before laying out over a bench with leather material, switching over to the bench press. He barely adjusted the weight and got started as the entrance door opened and a familiar face stepping through, but she was dressed somewhat differently. She wore black leggings, a purple blouse and her hair tied in pigtails by purple bows. Lastly she wore purple boots and a black choker around her neck.
"Great, just the person I wanted to see," Luke quickly knocked out the first two rounds of repetitions.
The female vampire laughed somewhat as she slowly walked toward him, not missing the sarcasm.
"So vindictive Fox, keep talking that way and I might actually gobble your tongue out. And here I was thinking we had something going," she stuck out her lower lip and scowled as she moved in closer beside him. "Just over five hundred fifty pounds, hhhmm not bad for a human. But at max power I'm capable of lifting sixty to seventy times that amount."
"Psh, right," Luke responded with little belief.
This didn't go unnoticed by the vampire who chortled.
"You really don't believe me? Quite the uneducated worm, aren't you?"
Miukei proceeded to up her yokai and Luke could feel the heaviness of her inner yokai spewing outward, its invisible weight immense. It was so intense that he could barely hold up the weight over his head.
"Need a little assist?" she looked down over him arrogantly.
She didn't give him the opportunity to respond as she pulled the bar away from him and over her head. Luke watched in astonishment as she cracked out rep after rep like it was nothing and Miukei using only one arm! There was that, but even more so was the speed in which her arm moved up and down at such a velocity that he quickly lost count of the repetitions she was whipping out.
"What's wrong, Fox? Do I make you feel fragile and weak?" the vampire chortled.
Not long after that Miukei's inner power plummeted as she carefully set the bar back into the hands of Luke who continued where he left off.
"How do you possess such incredible strength?!" Luke pushed the weight up and down.
"Easy, vampires are physically one of the most powerful creatures to ever exist," Miukei threw her head back as she walked around and in front of him.
Without warning she was leaning forward and sitting in his lap and running her fingers over his stomach. That was only the start of it as she reached down and pulled up his shirt just enough to get a view of his toned abs.
"So muscular, so much blood flow," her eyes brightened with sparkles in them. "Your body is just begging to be fed on!"
Luke didn't have the chance to speak as her head dropped and the vampire did something he wasn't anticipating. The muscles through his body stiffened at the feel of her tongue slithering over his flesh. The vampire especially trailed the tip of her tongue over the visible veins and Luke squirming somewhat. He immediately lifted and set the weight aside as he looked down over Miuke whose head was halfway up his shirt and that's when it happened, the first bite. It was a quick strike of pain but disappeared just as quickly, but then came another and then another. She bit down and consumed blood from various sections of his stomach and this was more stimulating than the typical bits over and around his neck. Soon she pulled up looking at him and repositioned while still atop him.
"I'll make this fast," the vampire grinned with herself lowered over him. "You're such a good food supply, not making such a fuss... I think I might actually like you, Fox."
"If not for my blood, unlikely," he frowned.
They were chest to chest as she lowered herself completely and biting into his neck. All he kept thinking and hoping for was that no one would walk in on them in such a position, especially Dinah. He would have lots to explain, that's for sure.

It was just two days since his arrival to the yokai realm and staying under the Bloodriver castle and in that time he had not yet ventured the entirety of the castle which was easily four to five times the size of Wayne Manor. More so than even back home Bruce felt like he was living in royalty with the Dark Lord's servants and maidens at his service twenty four seven. There at least had to be one hundred to two hundred of them and for the most part they had all been very pleasant. He was on his own and for the last half an hour Bruce found himself wondering around and eventually finding himself inside one of the handful of art gallery exhibits within the castle. There was a variety of art of different genres, some dark in tone and others bright. He positioned himself in front of a painting detailing a ship at sea during a storm, taking in every detail as his eyes looked from side to side and downward.
"There you are."
His shoulders twitched somewhat as someone called out to him and he turned looking at the entrance door as she entered wearing a dark blue cloak with a hood connected to it.
"Akasha," Bruce looked to and moved in closer to her as she did the same. "This is quite the collection."
"Yes, yes it is," the pink haired vampire stopped short of him. "Do you have a favorite?"
"Not particularly," Bruce gazed around. "Just looking, and there is quite the quality."
The Dark Lord was with a smile as she looked into his eyes and both smiled.
"Where's Morrigan, I thought she'd be with you?"
"She left hours ago, but to Makai or the human world I don't know," Bruce shook his head honestly. "She didn't say. And what's with this?"
He pointed at the Dark Lord's choice of attire.
"Oh," she giggled. "I tucked Sasha in for bed just an hour ago and had an errand to run away from the castle. There was a light downpour and well... I needed to be protected. So ah, is it only you then?"
"Yes. Members of the league and others left just before Morrigan and I don't expect any of them to return until sometime tomorrow or the day after. Most probably not until the end of the week when we make the trip to your father's estate."
"Oh really... so it's just you," Akasha's gaze fell over the ground as she fiddled with her fingers.
"What's wrong?" Bruce took a step towards her.
She didn't give an immediate answer and for a while her eyes remained glued to the ground before she eventually looked up.
"There's much you've seen but there's one place you haven't that you should," Akasha gestured him to follow with the bob of her head. "Come this way."
Bruce didn't know where to but didn't matter as he followed with little space in between them. They took to the higher levels which turned out to be quite the lengthy journey. And somewhere along the way Akasha fell back and took hold of his hand as more and more of her active security came into view. It seemed as though she was purposely avoiding them and trying to stay hidden, which Bruce found bizarre seeing as she was the castle's ruler.
"Where are we going?" Bruce finally asked.
"Ssssshhh, you'll see in a moment," she whispered.
They cautiously moved onward and the Dark Lord looking all around to make certain there were no eyes on them as they did. And eventually they came up on a twelve foot door which was locked off by a magic seal and Akasha the only one with the means to unlock it which she did.
"Hurry, come!" the Dark Lord pulled him through as the doors closed behind them.
Inside was a king-size bed in the middle of the room just ahead of them with red blankets and red bed curtains surrounding it. Above them was a ceiling lamp and in one corner of the room was a large mirror with a stool out in front of it with beauty products over the dresser. Antique furniture was throughout along with paintings along the walls and two lit candles over either side of the bed. On the far right corner of the room was a sliding glass door which led to the balcony and a perfect view of the kingdom of Hiklorhan.
"What is this place?" Bruce looked around and couldn't help but be awestruck and it was also very spacious. "It's beautiful."
"I'm glad you think so," Akasha walked toward the bed as she undid the belt around her cloak. "It's my quarters and rarely does anyone step inside, unless one of my servants. Even Colton has yet to set foot in this room. This spot is sacred to me, more so than any other."
With this assertion he looked in on her with narrowed eyes and questions.
"If it's so sacred then why am I..."
Bruce bit down over his tongue as the cloak lowered and fell off her shoulders. And beneath it the Dark Lord was dressed in a green see-through nightgown with a black bow tied into her hair. She gazed back at him over her right shoulder and smirked as she walked barefoot over the carpet and into the bed.
"And this is my bed, so soft, fluffy, and comfy and I'm asleep in minutes of laying my head over the pillows," Akasha laid out on her side with her head lowered over the pillows. "Come try, there's plenty of room."
She looked up at him but a glare over his face.
"What do you want?" Bruce walked up on and stood at the foot of the bed.
"You know something," Akasha rolled over on her back. "This spot isn't just for snoozing, but where my mate and I will make sweet love."
"Colton," Bruce responded.
"I didn't mention any names," she smiled up at him with a snicker, lifting her right leg and pointing her foot at him. "I've yet to make any such commitment."
The vampire circled her ankle, gazing up at him with intent before lowering her leg.
"And you wanted to know why I brought you here? I think you have an idea but I'll tell you. After our friendly little fight and the outcome, to say I was somewhat sour would be an understatement. But since then you could say my entire outlook has changed. Not once in my years have I had a man of interest or lover that was capable of keeping up with me in battle, let alone defeat me. I love a strong man with grit and skills to pair, I can't help that it turns me on. My natural vampire instincts obviously. But there's also something else."
Akasha licked at her upper lip and positioned in a suggestive manner.
"You and Morrigan," Akasha blushed as she looked away from him.
Swallowing back, he had a pretty good indication of what she got at without her saying a thing.
"It wasn't intentional," the Dark Lord quickly clarified. "I went to check on Sasha just after midnight and she was already asleep but the sounds coming from across the hall couldn't be ignored. Lucky for you she's a heavy sleeper."
Bruce was speechless and did his best not to show his embarrassment but this didn't get away from Akasha who chuckled.
"The door was halfway cracked, you should really be more careful. Sorry to say but curiosity got the better of me and I took a little peak and that's when I saw," Akasha pushed up and crawled over her knees. "She was riding you so good and it was almost painful to watch, I was... so envious. But I was evenly as stirred and thought only about being in her place."
And while ceasing his shirt the pink haired vampire pulled herself up and taking his lower lip into her mouth, sucking and biting at it lightly. She then fell backwards with her back over the blankets and looking up at him.
"Let's not beat around the bush, I brought you here for one purpose and it's your choice. I told you about the agreement Colton and I had about no intercourse until after marriage," Akasha lifted her left leg and rubbing the sole of her foot over his chest. "But in the case of you, I'll let you take me here and now, over and over again."
"No," Bruce slapped her leg away as he stepped back and away from the bed. "You're engaged!"
"And if I weren't," Akasha sat up and her tone seductive. "Would you consider rekindling what we had?"
Bruce took another step back with tightened fists.
"I haven't forgotten your unfaithfulness and while I've gained trust in you again, that doesn't consist of a relationship. You had your chance," Bruce turned and walked toward the exit.
She immediately sprung up from the bed and jumped out in front of the door and blocking his path.
"Don't go, I know I messed up we've covered that lots. I also understand that you and Morrigan have a thing but I want to be with you," her eyes stared into his as she rubbed a hand over the side of his face. "I don't know what else to say."
"I'm leaving, move aside."
She exhaled as she looked him off but did as he asked and he only partially got the door open as Akasha took hold of his arm.
"One more thing," she stood over the tips of her toes and kissed at his cheek. "You passed… my test. I knew that you would but I wanted to be sure."
His eyes were filled with confusion.
"Excuse me?"
"I'm talking about all this," she stepped back giving him space to breathe. "I bringing you here and attempting to seduce you was all planned and you proved again you're good man. Even if it were to stay between us, and you know next to nothing about Colton but you had him in mind and not thinking about yourself. Virtually any other in your position wouldn't have passed up the opportunity to sleep with me, love or not."
"I see," Bruce exhaled as he turned and reached for the doorknob.
Akasha's hand however took hold of his and pulled him back around.
"But don't get it twisted, all of what I said is true… being how I feel about you."
"And if I weren't such a good boy, what would you have done?"
The question froze her and the Dark Lord fumbled around with numerous thoughts, biting over her tongue.
"You've made your choice, so that isn't something we have to consider," she smirked. "Goodnight, and be careful that no one sees you leaving. They might think something happened and then come rumors."
"Well documented. Goodnight, Akasha," he smiled at her.
She returned the smile just before kissing at his cheek as she closed the door behind him and her back against it.
"He won't come easy," she whispered. "But I love a man that plays hard to get."
Bruce managed to make his way down the hall and without being seen as he made his way to the lower levels. And it was just as he came up on his bedroom door that a boom tube appeared out in front of him and a single individual in front of him.
"Victor," Bruce stared at Cyborg with surprise.
"Sorry for the sudden arrival but we've got movement. Our target has traveled into the human world, Iceland to be exact."
Bruce followed Cyborg into his room and that's when victor stopped for a moment and then proceeded to perform an advanced scan of the entire space. A bright light stemmed from his left arm which expanded and covered the entirety of the room and a beeping sound going off four times.
"What's the meaning of this?" Bruce questioned.
"Hold up," Victor responded.
The bright blue was replaced by a red and then came a buzzing sound before the light disappeared and Vic's arm returning to how it was.
"Three devices designed to pick up sound," Cyborg looked Bruce in the face. "One sealed beneath the carpet, another through that wall and the last in the wall across from that one."
Cyborg pointed out each and Bruce clinching his fists, not happy with the fact he was being spied on in his own room.
"You couldn't have known," Cyborg looked him over as he surveyed his mien, knowing exactly what was on his mind. "With your weaponry and gadgets, sure but you're without all that. And besides we have more important matters that require our attention, we need to get you back to the cave and..."
"What's happening?" Bruce cut him off.
"That tracker in Jitoshi Ichiro's bloodstream puts him in Iceland as we speak, your system from the bat computer that's temporarily networked with myself notified me the instant this happened. We need to get you out of here and to the cave and so you can suit up and we get the drop on these guys before they accomplish anything. Perhaps if we're lucky we'll be in and out before anyone notices you're gone. This can't wait, we need to act immediately."
"I know, and it's possible we might need backup depending the situation."
"Already ahead of you, Barry has been notified and no one else. So to the cave?"
"Yes," Bruce responded.
