Most of the day was overshadowed by the strange appearance of a messenger crow. The bird was rather large for a crow and was seated atop the mailbox of the guild house with an undeniable level of severity. Sabrith noticed it first and walked politely up to the bird.
A head tilt from Sabrith that was mirrored by the crow grew rapport but didn’t satisfy Sabrith’s immediate curiosity. “Somedays I guess the mail man just isn’t enough?” She laughs, noticing that the crow had a little letter strapped around his body. Sabrith politely reached out to the bird’s torso. He drew the scroll away just in time for Tayelle to come over with the groceries nestled in her arms.
“Did we… did we actually get crow mail?”
“Yeah, whatever it is, it must be pretty urgent to necessitate the crow,” Sabrith opened the note and began to read aloud:
Tayelle,
It has been a bit since we’ve seen each other! I am sorry to reinitiate our correspondence with such a grim request. You see, I am still working at that same shrine you visited forever ago and things have gotten worse. Suddenly, a scourge of devious Yokai spirits moved in and have wreaked havoc. I am the only shrine maiden here for quite a while. I am requesting to officially employ you and your wife, Sabrith for assistance with cleansing this shrine and restoring the sigils keeping the Yokai sealed.
From,
Masako
Tayelle lowered the scroll and admired the old shrine. Her and Sabrith’s travels here were short via a rented cart. It was alone deep in a forest said to have formed from a collection of spirits willing a haven but was corrupted by the horrors that were ultimately held within the shrine that rested in the heart of the forest. Tayelle walked calmly to the front door and knocked her knuckle softly twice. The sliding door was pulled aside and the woman inside gave a warm smile at the sight.
“It is so good to see you again! How long has it been?” Masako rushed out and gave Tayelle a warm hug. Masako was exactly what you would envision in a shrine maiden. She had long black hair that was well kept, her bangs combed aside and her hair tied into a braid on one side. She smiled warmly and turned to Sabrith. “And this is the Sabrith I’ve heard so much about! Thank you so much for coming truly!”
“It is the least we can do!” Sabrith grinned. “Though I have to admit it is weird you know more about me than I of you. Tayelle never really spoke of you.”
“Heh,” Tayelle blushed. “Well, it was a visit that became a lot of things. Some sake was involved and…” Tayelle stopped as soon as she saw how red Masako’s face became. “NEEDLESS TO SAY, I brought you up Sab but didn’t really um, know how to bridge the topic…”
Sabrith patted Tayelle on the back reassuringly. “Ah don’t worry. A drunk fling is nothing to be ashamed of. We’re that kind of couple, right?”
“Haha…” Tayelle was still blushing and looking away and the shrine maiden was steadily compressing into a chaste marble on the floor. “Well, either way it’s been a long time. We should focus on the present. You said that there was an infestation?”
The shrine maiden retrieved herself from her sad state and nodded her head. “We think something went wrong with both of our Yokai seals. This shrine is built on top of two sealing sites where extremely powerful Yokai were imprisoned by a powerful shrine maiden. There is a powerful oni of the stars with incredible strength and a mystical tiger of the moon. Both of them were terribly powerful and ruled the nearby village. The seals have held for a long time but recently we are concerned the seals are starting to break.” Masako lead the way inside. The shrine was a sizable home for both their religious facilities as well as the maidens who would tend to the seals. One had long to travel from one wing to the other as the shrine was comprised of several long halls and essentially three different sites. In the center was the square shaped central garden and living quarters which was a hollowed square with the garden and hot spring in the center in the open air and a long looping hall connecting them. Then, there was the Oni and the Tiger containment sites attached to either end of the shrine.
Masako opened the center door to allow them into the garden to relax for a moment. Tranquil waters poured forth and emitted a soothing steam smelling faintly of tea. “Usually, the seals are so powerful they also keep Yokai externally away from the site. Rarely are any spirits able to tolerate the magic inside of them. However, recently we’ve had a large influx of them infesting our halls. While the center wing is safe, either of the containment sites have swirled into madness. Spirits roam freely and have either blockaded the area or harass all who enter. I have tried to attend to the seals as per my rituals however…” Masako blushed at this mention and crossed her legs beneath her kimono. She looked at the cat girls with a nervous look, eyes never settling on any contact. Ashamed. “It turns out they are quite mischievous and made it difficult for me to focus. I was hoping both of you would be able to help.”
Trickling water massaged their ears and made them start to faintly fall. Sabrith nodded her head. Her fingers tensed where they held on to her hips. “Yeah, I think we can handle this!” She said eagerly. “So all you need us to do is attend to the shrines right?”
“Of course,” Masako said. “I would task you both with the items needed and I would assist with both rituals. I would first go with Tayelle to the Tiger wing and assist with the ritual. The Tiger ritual is a bit trickier but conversely the spirits there are less numerous and physical. Afterwards we would venture together to the Oni shrine and complete its ritual as well. Once both sites are placated and serenity returned to our shrine I would ask you both remain here until it is freed of evil spirits. I hope you don’t mind, but I’d ask for us to be thorough with this.” She gave a slightly more firm tone. Tayelle perked at this.
“You mean… a contract?” Tayelle asked. Masako nodded to this. Sabrith seemed confused how this was a big deal so Tayelle spoke quickly; “A contract in the Yokai sense. Essentially Yokai and spirits can oversee or create their own deals. Once we enter a contract, we have to fulfill the terms no matter what. Why would you ask this of us, Masako?” Tayelle asked.
Masako held her hands up defensively and shook her head. “O-oh it’s not like that! It’s not so much to make sure you get it done, but more so to give you assistance. In exchange for promising to the spirits of the shrine maidens who oversee this site that you will assist, they will grant you both the power to see these Yokai and physically touch them. Otherwise, I have no way to help you. I just need you both to accept the terms and you will be able to help.”
It wasn’t unusual for jobs to have an extra wrinkle, especially when venturing out to these stranger lands. Sabrith couldn’t help but feel this one was a little extra strange, but Tayelle was eager. Seeing no issue, Tayelle nodded her head and let her pink ears flutter in the air. Sabrith couldn’t help but compare them to the pink blossoms on the trees filling the courtyard.
“I enter this contract of my own will,” Tayelle said, then turning her head to Sabrith. The cat girl however seemed cautious.
“I’ll enter the contract once it is my turn to help,” Sabrith said. She’d be fine not seeing these things for now. “After all, I can enter any time right? You said it was a contract with the spirits of the shrine?”
However, Masako shook her head. “You’d have to go through me to get to them if that makes sense. Think of me as the last chain in a long line of inheritance of this place. The only way to them is through me. If you do not take the contract, the only time you will be able to is when next we see each other.”
Despite the calm air, despite Tayelle’s assurance, something had wrinkled Sabrith’s brow and kept her tail swaying in cautious hunter-like instinct. “Then that will be fine. I will enter the contract at that point.” Tayelle had this look on her face that was the lightest of pouts. When you’re in a relationship with someone for long enough you start to learn what even the smallest creases meant. The two could reach other’s minds by pinpointing the way their smiles didn’t quite tighten right or how they seemed quick to blink and use it like a curtain over emotional eye contact to dart their eyes away from something awkward. Tayelle did just exactly that, blinking fast and then returning her eyes to look to her friend.
“Give me and Sabrith a moment to place our gear and we will get to work.”
[…]
Rooms were typically modest in shrines like these and this room was no deviation. The door was thin and rolled into the wall to open way to the modest accommodations. The only noteworthy feature of tan wood floors and pale walls was how easy it was to feel soporific effects wash over the minds of even the least devout and immersed in these dark arts. Sabrith laid on the floor and laid out her bed roll from her pack and helped Tayelle with hers as well.
Silence lasted a bit longer than typical for them. Tayelle seemed to be musing and Sabrith was allowing a pregnant silence to allow her words to become pointed. “You know Tay, you really don’t have to worry…”
It wasn’t like Sabrith to leave words that open so Tayelle’s ears were pointed and her attention undivided. They stood like colorful puppets over the drab background, making the words all the more colorful. Sabrith doted the air with her dramatically flickering ears and let her brow seem heavy and eyes woeful. “It’s fine if you want to reconnect is all I am saying. I get it, there are other women out there who are more refined than me~” And that’s when the grin creeped up Sabrith’s face. “I’m sure when you bury your face between her thighs it is a religious experience.”
Tayelle’s face became a red dot over the white backdrop as she steamed up and shook her head. “It’s not like that!” She huffed. “Besides, our vows were mostly about not laying with another man, weren’t they?” Tayelle would never take a tease without her own retort. Another huff, this one hotter. “Besides, we need to focus. The sooner we get the shrine restored the sooner we can get out of here. Why didn’t you accept the deal anyways?”
That made Sabrith’s tail twitch but only at the tip. A little tic that rarely came out. “Not a fan of being bound to anyplace. Even a deal with a friend like her seems like a cage to me. I want to wait and see how this goes and make sure no issues arise. Say, bit weird that she wanted us to do each ritual separate isn’t it?”
“Oh, not really,” Tayelle retorted. “The Tiger ritual probably requires magic and know how, and The Oni ritual, once she’s done helping, might have you actually arm wrestle the Oni. Physical challenges aren’t entirely rare in this domain. Makes sense she’d want us to do things carefully.” Tay gave a little grin and grabbed on to Sabrith’s arm. “I trust this place and I trust Masako. So don’t worry! Now, wait here and I’ll be back, okay?”
Sabrith sighed and sat back, rolling Stormfury on her lap. She didn’t take the deal before so she wouldn’t be able to help with the spirits… All she could do was wait until the other two were done to make or break the deal. So… she’d wait. And perhaps snoop around just a bit.
[…]
Every single room was a bleak white cube. Door after door Sabrith found this place disappointingly baren of surprise. Sabrith limberly snuck through the halls, back close to the walls and found everything rote and serene. A small tea chamber that didn’t even smell all that pleasant or marked in any way, a small bedroom with blankets on the floor and a wardrobe filled with similar apparel, and hardly anything else.
A part of her wished she had taken the deal now. She could have gone over and cleared her half of the building ahead of time in preparation for when Tayelle returned. Sabrith was being obstinate and grinding things down to a slower pace but damn it, she had to put her foot down somewhere. Every extra minute this took would at least be a reminder that things should be done to a certain level of caution, something Tayelle usually expounded. Sabrith just wanted to feel the recoil of her weapon bashing into something…
It was a bit later on, but Tayelle and Masako returned. Except Tayelle wasn’t in the clothes she arrived in. No, instead Tayelle looked even more native to this shrine than Masako’s baggy yet flowing kimono. Tayelle was no wearing a very tight robe that left little to imagine. Around her neck she wore a bright pink choker with a golden sigil of this site that looked like a pawprint. The robes kept her shoulders and chest revealed before suddenly squeezing tight around her cleavage which was shown in a deep V cut that exposed the start of her smooth thin belly before a tight obi squeezed the kimono tight and close around her waist. Her hips jutted out either side entirely unclothed and a short sash that didn’t even reach her knees seemed to be all that was covering her crotch. Her arms were at least covered in baggy sleeves which must have had more fabric than the rest of her outfit combined. Sabrith’s eyes darted across Tayelle’s form and found herself a little surprised by how excited this look made her. It was like looking at any other shrine maiden but with a shade of Tay shining bright. “Um, hey! How did it go?”
“Oh, the ritual?” Tayelle asked. “Resolved~ Masako showed me how the ritual worked and—” Tayelle nibbled her lower lip and swayed her hip. “Oh, Sab it was so… nice to see how their magic worked! The Tiger should be good now, we just need to deal with The Oni. So, you had better make the contract and we can get going.”
Sabrith agreed… but something about how close Tayelle was leaning towards Masako made her feel like being difficult for just a bit longer. “Once we get to The Oni site, I’ll form the contract. If that’s alright, Masako.” Of course, the shrine maiden had no issues with this.
Without hesitation she nodded her head firmly and serenely like a tree being caressed by the wind. “Of course, Sabrith. I will accompany you both over to The Oni site and we will work on the ritual once we are there.”
As well, Sabrith thought to question… why had Tayelle changed clothes? Was this a part of the ritual. Tayelle didn’t seem to mind or pay heed to her wardrobe change and didn’t seem bothered by how she was being presented. “Say… What is with the outfit anyways—” But Sabrith wasn’t able to get the rest of the words out as Masako urged them suddenly to get to the next ritual site before things grew more dire. The work they did on the Tiger site would likely agitate the spirits resting here.
Convened and prepared, Sabrith decided to lead the group whilst Tayelle and Masako remained right behind her. After all, the spirits they’d be facing would be the Oni’s, which is to say the sort that the Oni would attract. According to Tayelle (with a handful of pastoral corrections from Masako) Yokai often attract those of a similar nature. Tayelle recounted that in her wing of the shrine she mostly faced tricky and magical spirits which was similar to the nature of the tiger they were sealing away.
Sabrith cautiously pushed through the dark. No candle could stay lit here and Tayelle’s magic seemed suppressed for some reason only able to light up a few feet ahead of them. Sabrith took careful steps, eyes wide for anything she could possibly detect with hopefully some spiritual guidance from the two behind her who could actually make out these spirits. Stop being stubborn and make the deal, Sabrith thought. Protect Tayelle. Just do it you—
From behind, Tayelle let out a pointed, sharp eep sound! She stumbled in place and slammed her hand against the wall for support. Half bent, tail in the air and shaking quickly for balance, she tried to play it off like nothing happened but Sabrith was already turned around. “What happened?”
“N-nothing!” Tayelle said. “I think something tripped me.”
“It could be a spirit,” Masako said as her diligent eyes scanned the darker corners. “Did you see anything Tayelle?”
“No!” She said, all the more concerned based on the look on her face. “We should be more careful…” Sabrith could agree to that. They continued to walk deeper inside.
More and more strange as they went along. The floor began to turn into a volcanic material. Sabrith’s boots kicked up silt and ash which hovered in the air and turned purple and red before settling back down, emitting just enough light to illuminate the floor. The walls became harder to see. A strange wet sound echoed out from behind them, like something meaty thwacking against the wall with growing menace. Tayelle sounded like she was gagging at some point as a strange sulfur scent raised in the room.
“See anything?” Sabrith asked.
“No,” Masako said as Tayelle remained cautious, ears down, walking calmly behind.
Sabrith stared dead ahead, never daring to look behind as it became clear whatever was ahead was going to be powerful. Masako gasped out, “Swing right now dead ahead!” Sabrith raised her hammer quick as possible and slammed her weapon forward! The hammer bashed into something and then collided with the floor.
“What was that?” Sabrith asked as she panted.
“A powerful spirit drawn here by the Oni,” Masako said who held Tayelle close to protect her. “I’ll tell you when to swing, but we’re getting close!”
Step by step.
“Swing! Swing!” Every few paces.
They finally arrived to the center room. Four purple torches glowed through the impenetrable malicious darkness and surrounded a large black stone covered in blessed ofuda, the long papers swaying in the pungent air. Masako approached the stone and placed her hand on the stone and turned to face Sabrith. “The time has come. You must now accept the contract I offered before or else you will not be able to see the spirit. Sabrith, we must hurry.”
“Do it,” Tayelle urged, swaying close to her. “We need to hurry, Sab.”
Sabrith nodded her head. “I really do hate that you’re making me do this, Masako. I’m sure you’re a nice person, I don’t doubt Tayelle’s trust being placed in you. I try to live without making too many promises without entering any bargains. They feel like prisons and tie you down, even if they’re hospitable and likely short. I just want to say this to explain why I’ve been so cautious and aloof…” Sabrith lifted her head and nodded at Masako. “I accept your deal.”
[…]
“What is that?” Tayelle asked Masako as they walked down the languid hall towards the Tiger shrine. A strange ghostly creature floated in the air ahead of Tayelle and vanished inside the wall. Masako nodded her head.
“A weak spirit. Essentially a ghost but not of a full person. Sometimes strong emotions and events can leave behind their essence and grant existence to things. All Yokai are in some part formed by these ideals. That one is a weak one, maybe formed from jealousy or trickery. It was likely not born here but drawn to the power of The Tiger. Should The Lunar Tiger be released this spirit would immediately pledge itself to The Tiger and become stronger for aligning itself so. We will absolutely see more of them as we go deeper inside.”
And while that was a good answer, Tayelle was much more concerned with why it was that floating ghost had a massive cock jutting out of it just drooling around. She had no idea how to bridge the idea to Masako before figuring well, these things are formed by strong emotions. Shrine maidens must get horny!
Tayelle walked down the hall steadily and kept her eyes peeled for more of the super natural that might be hidden around. Masako had equipped herself with a warm shawl and Tay could see why. Her breath was visible and her chest was tender against her attire. For a moment she swore she could see frost on the wooden floor beneath her. Every step brought her a greater darkness ahead as less and less of what laid ahead was visible. Masako’s hand reached out for her just as it seemed she was about to trip on something!
Fingers slid across the side of Tayelle’s hip and squeezed tight. Masako let her hand slide back. Her palm roughly was pushed up into Tayelle’s rear, following the outline of it until she retreated her hand far enough to find Tayelle’s hand. She helped the cat girl steady. Tay turned only to see Masako giving a warm smile, satisfied with stabilizing her friend. They continued further.
And further.
Till shadows parted and in their place was a true darkness that heeded no light nor dimension. If the room was no larger than those humble bed chambers than the dark betrayed all perceptions and bewildered the eyes with what felt like infinity. All that there was as an indicator of place and standing was a large pure white stone that emitted a low ghastly fog that swelled out over the floor.
It was as cold as Tay thought indoors could get here though Masako did not react. The shrine maiden opened her robes and laid out a special kimono before Tayelle. “I will need you to wear these, Tayelle. It will enhance the ritual and allow us to placate the spirit.”
At first, Tayelle was certain she would do it. Then she lifted the kimono and saw that it was flagrant and flaunting! That napkin sized crotch flap wouldn’t protect her from even a stiff breeze let alone walking! Her ass would be on full display with every step too! And what was with that cleavage dive? Weren’t these shrine maidens supposed to be chaste, why the hell was Masako trying to dress her like a shrine-themed courtesan?
Masako leaned down on to her knees and began undoing the buckles on Tay’s outfit. The cat quickly protested “Hey! I didn’t agree to wear anything yet!” But Masako just gave a low grin. Her eyes were bright in the low light. Her hands squeezed Tayelle’s hips as they hunted for buttons and latches. Tay felt her eyes grow a bit lower and her breath seemed to come out in thicker plumes.
The shrine maiden leaned in close and ran her hands slowly over Tayelle’s face. The cat girl’s heart raced. Her lip trembled as the other drew nearer. She felt the sort of gravity all things do in a wind storm as the maelstrom draws all things ever nearer the eye of its spiral before inevitably and chaotically tossing it wayward. Masako hovered as close as she could before stepping back and letting the last of Tay’s attire drop to the floor. The cat girl was naked and laid cold and bare before Masako. Tayelle bit her lip and looked up at Masako.
“Put it on~” Masako ordered. “The ritual, Tayelle. We need to start it.”
Tayelle stood up, cautious to keep a hand over her breast and her legs cross just so as to hide herself despite her once shared intimacy with Masako. Something about the shrine maiden made Tayelle feel like a stranger was looking at her. She asked “You still haven’t said what this ritual is exactly. All I know is we are supposed to be placating the spirits held here and it involves us being close to them.”
Masako nodded and gestured to the stone. “The devil is held in here beneath all the seals and the stone, beneath years of prayer from maidens and consequences we still don’t understand. You will need to enter Contract with both me and the devil that lives inside this stone.” As soon as Tayelle was dressed Masako became firmer and more instructional.
There was no question how to lay as Masako pushed Tayelle to her knees. Tayelle laid on her knee with her ass just barely exposed past the swaying flap that seemed uninterested in her. Masako held both of Tayelle’s wrists, digging her thumbs lightly and showing her the prayer form to make. “We need to be hasty before it makes the room too cold for us to continue in here.” Masako lowered her head and purred lowly. “I am so glad you came back Tayelle.”
“Masako…” Tayelle muttered her friend’s name. “Are you sure this is the only way this can work? This feels off. Ever since I got here I’ve been worried about something…”
“Oh?” Masako asked, suddenly colder in her tone. “What is that?”
“The more I try to remember you… the less I do.” Tayelle said it firmly but with just enough wavering that… that she could be…
“Be reassured, Tay~” Masako leaned in closer, fingers against her underside and pushing between cheeks. Masako gently swayed her fingers right above… just close enough to tickle. Her breath was so hot, it was the only heat on Tay’s body. Masako’s hood was pushed aside and her two big furry ears were revealed. “You’ll remember more soon. All you have to do is enter the ritual now. Do you accept the form of the shrine maiden to allow yourself to defeat the spirit?”
Tay bit her lip, confused but this must be the ritual now. “I do…” Tay’s tail began to sputter and shake. It plumed outward and grew bigger and bigger as a new tone of fur spread across it. Tayelle felt a strange little giggle emerge from her.
“Will you follow my instructions until the rituals are complete? Say you will~”
“I will…~” Tayelle said. A choker suddenly appeared and locked around her throat. Masako grabbed on to Tay’s shoulder with suddenly much larger hands—dark furred paws. Masako leaned forward as her eyes turned bright red and her tail stopped hiding.
“Hey, Moon Tiger~ Look, a perfect host…~” Masako spoke with a deeper yet still cute voice, but so much more sinister. It was rich and filled with terror, Masako’s face contorted into a terrible wide grin. “Let’s enter a contract Moon Tiger~ Become my minion and in exchange I’ll let you have this girl I just obtained~ The only way to break the seal will be to get Star Oni too, but just wait a second okay? What do you say?~”
Right above Tayelle’s crotch a glowing moon sigil emblazoned itself. Masako(?) raised her hands and cast a spell of hiding over Tayelle that only those with her ghost sight would be able to see through. Tayelle turned her head only to see something emerge from Masako, the something that had been twisting her. Tay screamed and tried to stand only to find that she couldn’t, having not received instruction from Masako.
Masako, blushing without ears, stared blankly away from Tay as the spirit possessing her emerged. He was short in stature with dark skin, bright red eyes, dark brown fur, and flowing mysterious robes ornamented with relics and beads. All Tay could get out was a question; “Who are you?”
And he replied, “I am Goro, High Cultist Tanuki~ and you are my disciple~”
Tayelle could only say the words Goro himself planned. He hovered nearby, watching and following Tayelle and Sabrith and their brainwashed guide, always hidden out of Sabrith’s sight since she hadn’t taken the contract to obtain ghost vision. Masako, as it turned out had been kept human on purpose to be a perfect lure to draw the cats in. Tayelle wasn’t sure if the letter she had read was enchanted to convince herself she knew this woman or if her memories had been rewritten at some other point but all she knew now was that she was in a similar situation.
She tried to act out, tried to make it obvious to Sabrith that something was wrong! Worse yet was when Goro hovered over and made her trip or lured some of the spirits to her. One of them bent her over and fucked her ass against the wall, whispering worship for the tiger into her ears, and then even later they plowed her throat like a cheap glory hole while Sabrith just kept walking, unaware.
Until she couldn’t be unaware any longer.
[…]
Sabrith’s vision brightened suddenly. A ghostly wind surrounded the sphere of her eyes and played at the center like evaporating yet ephemeral tendrils. They parted as frost painted windows defrost in the warmth of noon. As her vision cleared Sabrith could see the truth.
Tayelle’s feet were suddenly encompassed in ghostly paws, big enough to be a tiger’s overlapping her own yet still see through. Her hips were similarly overshadowed by a ghostly set of breeder’s hips. These two articles of ghastly apparition faded in and out like a reality yet to become but growingly possible. What was less hidden was the glowing crotch tattoo of the moon at the base of her mound and right below her belly. As well was her larger tanuki tail and ears. And hovering directly above her head was something thick dripping musky pre on to her hair over and over. Sabrith traced the drops up more and more as a figure came into vision.
Focus raised and the blur of mortal vision gave way to the abhorrent truth. A short stack tanuki creature, tall as an imp and just as devilish was hovering over Tay’s head. He slowly lowered himself and let his fat nuts rest on Tay’s head and drown her in his potency. He gave a smile down at Sabrith and just shook his head. “Took you long enough. Seriously, why did you have to be so paranoid, should’ve been curious and trusting like Tayelle~ But oh well, you did eventually get with the program so kudos to you Sabrith, you may have lost but at least you showed some modicum of survival.”
Sabrith raised Stormfury as quickly as possible only to just then notice that it was covered in thick plumes of some strange substance. “What the hell?”
“Early you swung that thing right into the piles of goo I arranged. Basically, that’s a kind of Yokai that eats magic. I was shocked when you kept desummoning the piles I made, but after the third swung or so it started to stick. Not sure how special your hammer is, but that goo will make sure its twice as heavy as you’re used to and not all that special.”
So Sabrith threw the hammer to the side and ran forward, straight at this little shit! She’d settle things claw to claw. She lunged for him only for Goro to just dodge… straight into Tayelle.
Her fist whiffed right above Tayelle’s head, the wind from her blow making Tayelle’s big ears sway just as her eyes opened, blazing red. “Sab! Careful, you almost hit me!”
Sabrith’s stared with slim slit eyes thin as a knife’s edge. “What have you done…?!”
“What are you talking about? I’m just trying to do the ritual, Sab! Remember, we’re trying to help Masako… Oh~ You looked away from her didn’t you?”
Suddenly, a tanuki leapt on to Sabrith’s back and started thrusting into her. Masako had transformed into some strange tanuki slime, part tanuki but equally able to become a fluid creature in a moment’s notice, only recognizable as Masako by the thick hair on its head. Sabrith struggled as she was held down and bound by the slimy creature and rapidly stripped. Sabrith ripped through the tendrils one after another, easily able to defeat the slime…
THWISH! Tayelle’s hand raised and magical bondage of glowing pink magic clicked around Sabrith’s wrist and held it firmly in place. And then another bolt and the other was equally contained. Sabrith stared up at Tayelle with growing anger but some new category of fury she hadn’t felt before. Tayelle giggled sinisterly, lowering her hand and raising the little crotch curtain again and swaying her hips.
Sabrith watched as Tayelle, possessed or maddened, grew nearer. She wanted to yell something and even started to open her mouth… when suddenly something poked against her tabard. A tendril of tanuki slime tore away her crotch attire to let it free in the air. The head of her newly growing canine cock, red as candy, was prodding out of her furry sheathe. Sab went to kick… but ended up stumbling over her new fat balls.
“Sorry, Sab~ Goro decided to lend you some of his most holy vestments. The form of the tanuki is by far the best feeling, and he’s going to let you feel it even. How divine~”
“I know that’s not Tay you bastard!” Sabrith growled.
“Tay… what is a Tay anyways?” Goro snickers through Tayelle’s lips. Sabrith leaned backwards, unbound tail managing just a little…
Just enough for Sabrith to swing her hammer with her legs and tail wrapped around it, navigating around her encumbered form. She swung just hard enough to strike Tayelle and send her flying back. Tayelle’s back hit the stone behind them and Goro emerged from Tay just in time to not feel any of the pain. The floating tanuki groaned at Sabrith. “Really? Hitting your wife is never the solution to your problems y’know~”
“A lot of my problems would get solved right away if I could pop your head like a firework.”
“Think of it this way: your wife is bound to me~ She’s mine, and promised to someone else now. You should’ve known you can’t keep a girl like her settled down forever. Remember the wording of my first contract with her too~ She can’t leave this shrine as long as there is a spirit here. The only problem is… she is a spirit now~ Or is at least playing host to one…”
Tayelle stood up and wiped blood from her lip. Then she smiled and revealed sharp predatory teeth. “MATE~! I love a mate who can play rough~” Tayelle lowered to her haunches, wagged her tail and POUNCED on Sabrith with all the fury she could muster, grinding her growingly needy slit against Sabrith. In fact, her mound was growing bigger, needier, darker.
Grinding away maddeningly against Sabrith’s newly grown cock, Tayelle cackled away as more and more of the apparition of the Lunar Tiger appeared over her. Ghostly purple fur spread across her form, fading in and out but never staying. The frame traced over her was bigger, more carnal, more motherly. She looked like a warrioress brood mother, someone who could rend armies and birth nations. Someone who wanted Sabrith so bad she’d do anything.
All the while Goro just hovered above and patiently munched at a bao bun to enjoy the sight just as he likely had always intended.
“I’m sooo happy to see you Sabrith~ I’m so happy to see you have such a huge cock too~! Oh my kami that’s a big one~! Almost as big as Goro too ehehe~”
“T-Tay?” Sabrith muttered. “What is… happening?”
“Sabrith~ Saaabrith~” Tayelle moaned her mate’s name as she ground harder and slipped that fat knotted cock inside her. Sabrith screamed as a red hot injection of pure pleasure blasted through her and ignited her everything. “Hrghh ehehe~! I-I’m almost merged with the Lunar Tiger Sab, and she’s so powerful~ I feel like a goddess, like I feel really actually invincible. Even through the stone she’s sharing knowledge with me of powerful magic, of secrets people both forgot and hid. Magic should never be forbidden, curiosity never outlawed, and I just really… really..~ Wanna see what happens if me and tiger can finish merging~”
It was hard to argue while Tayelle was fucking her brains out like this. Sabrith couldn’t hold back and she just… let it loose. A load deposited inside Tayelle, their results seeding the floor in equal measure as Tayelle’s growing belly. But that wasn’t even close to enough. Tayelle growled with a tiger’s roar and SLAMMED down again and mewled.
Over and over. More and more maddening. Sabrith felt pleasure intended for some nasty spirit like Goro hovering above pulsing through her system. She felt like a tree being fed only the richest syrupy sugary water over and over, watching the dye spread through her leaves and taint them red. Tayelle at some point lost her words and became a clawing feral breeding machine. All she did with her large paws and growingly strong stomach was BREED. The faint outline was slowly stabilizing and becoming reality. The larger breasts at some point stopped fading in and just became reality. It was heaven—
And then it wasn’t. The cock just simply vanished. Goro hovered above, a smile on his face that could curl wall paper. “Sorry to cut you short, but remember, we had a ritual to do~” Masako reemerged back in her normal form albeit hung and tanuki’d. Goro hovered ever closer. Sabrith felt maddened like suddenly she was plucked from the ocean and left to dry and perish on the sands. Every word was so much sharper, but no nearly as sharp as the sight of Tayelle.
She kept grinding, desperate, stupid, needy, yet divine in her animalistic pursuit. How else would you react to a god of breeding grinding her needy cunt against your own? Sabrith felt tears in the corner of her eyes.
“You love her, don’t you?” Goro teased.
“So much…” Sab panted.
“Why not ordain it in the gods? Why not become as the stars and the moon? Why not fuck until the night sky fills with your nebulas and milkyways~”
Sabrith grunted as Tayelle moaned, “Pleaaaase~ I need your dick so bad~ Where did it go pleaaaaaaaaseeee~! I feel so empty, I feel so empttty~ I need more so bad! Please Sabrith, please, give me more, give it to me NOW~ I want oni dick~ I want your oni dick, no one elsssse~”
Goro leaned over the pair and smiled. “If you’d like, I could take over from here. She’s so cock crazed, I’m sure she wouldn’t mind, after all I just got done training her with my dick on your body. Sure, that oni is probably hung as a—”
“JUST. DO. IT.” Sabrith screamed. “I take it. Your deal. MY deal. Bind the oni to my body, but in exchange… we can leave the shrine and you’ll never touch Tayelle again.”
Goro paused… before letting that grotesque grin return to his face. “Finally, some sense. Your wish shall be granted. Contract: sealed~” He snapped his finger and turned his eyes to the stone.
The paper stuck to it all rapidly burned away and was shot across the room into the void. The stone rose at the exact same moment as the other. Sabrith’s bondage was released and she was levitated into the air. She lunged forward and squeezed her arms around Tayelle, happily squeezing her close and happy. Sabrith watched as her arms thickened into powerful weapons as star dust flew into her body.
She immediately felt an incredible mind flow into her own. The mind of a demon who conquered the stars, who smashed moons into comets. Sabrith’s eyes filled with stars as her skin turned dark blue and stars spread across her body like freckles. Her hips widened and her legs became stronger and stronger as a single horn sprouted from the front of her head. She laughed and laughed, watching as something equine and powerful sprouted from her crotch. At the base it was pale purple but became more and more dreamy blue at the base, golden yellow etched across it.
Tay raised her arms, flaunting her multiple growing rows of breasts as they came in. Tiger fur, purple and pink and yellow and moon themed sprouted across her. Thick tiger stripes swiped across her like the arms of galaxies as her face stretched into a short muzzle. Sabrith leaned forward and pushed her new cock inside. Everything made sense immediately. She was Sabrith of The Stars and she Tayelle of The Moon. They were the Lunar Tiger and Cosmos Oni. Tay hugged Sabrith close and rode that cock happily.
Suddenly, a magic force pushed Tayelle just away enough from Sabrith so she wouldn’t be touching Goro’s cock suddenly being pushed between the two. “See, no touching, just as promised~ Now, get sucking~” Goro allowed his body to become ghostly enough so he could ram his cock between Sabrith’s breasts and into her mouth whilst Tayelle kept riding Sabrith’s cock, desperate for breeding, for more and more and more~
They rode and rode until Sabrith was drowned in a nebula of pleasure.
Ultimately, the shrine became Goro’s entirely, which wasn’t much of a surprise. Goro’s only interest in this place was obtaining the power of the Oni and the Tiger. Breaking the seal was tricky, but finding two women with similar personalities and trickable minds lead to his plan reaching fruition. Sabrith and Tayelle remained by his side for some time, obeying him with the utmost loyalty until one day that awakened in a tavern with no memory whatsoever of this event and with the spirits of the yokai removed. Goro had discarded them just the same as anything that had served its purpose.
Though Sabrith still couldn’t decide if those pawprint tattoos and tanuki leave sigils had always been on them or not, and her repeated dreams of sucking some strange cultist off had her wondering… She sat at the edge of her bed staring out the window when suddenly she noticed a crow land on their mail box with a letter tied around his neck.
A twisted petition that made Sabrith pant and begin to rub herself.
