Chapter 3: Aquamarine
Nakago rested for a few days. The concubines in his contrived heaven had sapped his strength. It explained why his life force blast was not strong enough to kill Tomo as he shielded Lapis. Hin women were masters of bouchuu. Ki rejuvination and sapping through coupling was a fine art to them.
"Are you ready to go, sister? We must not keep the Kutou Emperor waiting."
"Yes, I am ready. Fate smiles upon us. Hiko thinks he has found Lazuli."
"Oh?"
"Yes, our brother seems to have become a bandit, ravaging the border of Konan. Hiko is going to see the truth of it, and give chase."
"Our brother is running from us. I am sure you realize this already."
"I have considered it. He did not want to lead the tribe. He preferred to be among the lesser warriors."
"Enough talk, Get on your horse. Kutou awaits."
"Yes Your Highness."
During the hours he rode beside Lapis, Nakago considered the irony of his capture. He wanted a throne, never knowing he already had one. His tribe served Tenko, yet more than one of them were chosen of Seriyu. In order to keep his position as King of the Hin Horse Lords, he had to bow to another to preserve his people and his sovereignty. His time would come. Kutou would be ruled by the Hin soon enough.
Tomo followed them. He would return to the Hin, but was interested in the other two celestial warriors his King had found.
"Here," Nakago said as they started to enter the city. " We will go to my house first. I need to change into my armor, and I need you to change into something more simple. I plan to take you to him bound , gagged and slung over my horse. It will explain what took me so long getting you to him."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"You must call me Lord Nakago from now, until the Emperor is dead."
"Of course, Lord Nakago."
"And be careful not to mention how we are related. It could ruin everything. When you are in the harem, be careful not to smoke from the opium pipes. I trust you can fake that."
"Of course, Lord Nakago."
"Good. Once you are settled, I will come to you to make sure our plans are secure. If you betray me, sister or not, I will send you to oblivion."
"I am prepared, Lord Nakago."
"Good, now get inside the house before you are seen."
Tomo examined both Soi and Ashtari closely.
He did not question the bloodline of Ashtari, that one was descended of one of the extinct tribes , the Wolf Takers. Tenko had destroyed both the Wolf Takers, and the Dog Eaters tribes long ago. Of the Wandering Tribes, they were the only two who were made up of shape shifters.
Soi, he was not as sure. She had the build, the beauty, and the sexual potential that marked her of the Horse Lord tribe, but her height and coloration was more like that of the Bear Dancers. Either way, he was positive that she was descended of the Wandering Tribes, just like all of them that carried Seriyu's mark.
It was clear to Tomo. Seriyu favored the Wandering Tribes as the new rulers of Kutou, and perhaps, the rest of the world. All they needed to do was wait.
"Are you finished with them, Aono?" Lapis said tritely, "If you are, I want you to prepare a couple of your shells for my use. "
"What type of illusions do you require, Your Grace."
"One, create an illusion of me lying down, smoking an opium pipe. It will give me freedom to roam the palace when I place it on another concubine. It will also keep me from having to smoke the disgusting ichors. Two, I want an illusion of an ideal partner for me to perform upon. Nakago tells me the Emperor is ugly. I do not want his appearance to hamper my performance on him."
"Very wise, Your Grace. I will do so immediately. Do you have an ideal partner in mind for the illusion?"
"Someone, strong, vital and very Hin in looks. Nakago will do."
"You are truly a royal woman. Your strength, ruthlessness, and perverse nature mark you as such."
"Are you saying that my royal brother is not handsome enough to lust after? You yourself desire his touch. You may be the son of a peasant slave and a Hin, but you are old enough to remember that Nakago's mother and my mother were sisters. You also are aware that both women were first cousins to our father. We are Hin, it is not unusual for siblings to become sexual partners. You know perfectly well I gave Lazuli the same therapeutic coupling as I gave you. So quit mocking me."
"I apologize."
"Are you just about ready," Nakago said as he walked into the room in full armor.
"Hmm, you look perfectly delicious in those clothes, Lord Nakago. I will as soon as Aono has finished making the illusions for my use. I am also hiding my bolas in a sash. I refuse to go completely unarmed. The ends will act as ornamental weights. I promise to only use them if necessary, Lord Nakago."
"Good. I may allow you to choke the life out of the Emperor when we are finished with him. Would that please you?"
"Oh yes, my brother. I would be honored to send him to oblivion."
Tomo has the shells ready for Lapis within an hour. He readied himself to leave back for the Horse Lord encampment.
"Take Ashtari with you. He is of no use to me here." Nakago said.
"Yes, and take care to keep up your therapeutic coupling with the women. I know you prefer boys, Aono, but his is for your health, not your lust. You must keep up your health, for our greater glory."
"As you wish, Your Majesty, and Your Grace. I will wait for you to call upon me."
"I will send word as I need mercenaries. There is no need to flood the Emperor's army all at once. It must be done slowly. Be content with your fate, Tomo."
"Be content, My Liege."
Nakago dragged Lapis into the throne room and threw her at the feet of Emperor Hebishoru.
"It is about time, Nakago. I was wondered if sending you after this whore was a mistake."
"She did give me quite a chase. I found the chase invigorating. I hope you do not mind. I had to bring her to heel before I could capture her. I found her touch, quite pleasurable. I am sure she will satisfy your needs well."
Hebishoru laughed, " If you say so, then I know it is true. Guards, get her cleaned up and take her to my chambers. I want to see how well she can satisfy me. Good work Nakago. You may go."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Lapis lay on the cool sheets, waiting for the Emperor to arrive. His looks were worse than what Nakago had described. She was glad she had the shell with the illusion spell on a ribbon tied around her neck.
"You see that crown on the shelf," Hebishoru said as he had to all of his concubines, "If you please me, and do as you are told, I will make you my empress. That crown will be yours."
Lapis used her talents to push energy into the emperor, and draw them out again, creating an electrical circuit. Within twenty minutes, Hebishoru was sound asleep, and would not likely wake until late the next day.
Lapis got up and looked at the crown. She wrinkled her brow in disgust.
"Why would I want such a gaudy, ugly thing? The stone is nice, if I could pry it from the setting."
Lapis made her way back into the harem. She placed the ribbon containing the other illusion spell around the neck of one of drugged concubines and opened the shell. That concubine immediately appeared to be Lapis.
She found the wig and servant girl's clothing that Nakago had provided for her.
Lapis quickly slipped on the clothing, and slipped out of the harem with not so much of a look from the guards. She made her way to the kitchens.
"I have been sent to take Lord Nakago his tea." She said politely to the kitchen maid. Lapis kept her head and eyes lowered as the water, cup and tea were placed on a tray and handed to her.
She slowly made her way to Nakago's rooms in the palace. Lapis knocked on the door and waited patiently for her brother to answer.
"Come in."
Lapis walked in and placed the tray on the desk. She carefully mixed the tea into the cup and placed it next to Nakago. He did not bother to look up, but brought the cup to his lips and sipped. Lapis stood and waited for him to acknowledge her.
"You may go."
"Yes, Lord Nakago."
He rose his eyes as he recognized the voice. "Never mind. I did not realize it was you. I disguised you well. How is the emperor?"
"Sleeping. He is boorish and boring. It took me no time to put him completely to sleep. He tried to tempt me with that garish crown . The gem is nice, but I would not wear the crown itself to a pigsty."
"Ah, that gem. Do you think you can pry it from the setting and replace it.?"
"Easily, but the emperor will notice it missing."
"That gem is what keeps the fool in power. Here, I have replaced one of the stones in your bola with an aquamarine. It is not quite as dark as that sapphire, but it should fool the emperor."
"At your command, Lord Nakago."
"As long as that gem is no longer in his possession, his power will slowly wan. Come to me tomorrow. Since I sent Ashtari away, I have no more need for my house in the city. Soi needs training. Her sexual talents are extraordinary, but she needs to learn to control them. Only a female master of bouchuu can teach her the proper technique. I want you to make sure she makes the most of her natural talents."
"Of course, Lord Nakago."
The task of prying out the sapphire and replacing it with the dark-hued aquamarine was simple. Lapis put the emperor asleep quickly before she went to her work. As many of the Hin, Lapis was a master at thievery as much as she was a master of bouchuu.
"The fool will never know the difference," Lapis though to herself as she laced the sapphire into the leather covering the weights of her bolas. "The fool can not even feel the power emanating from the jewel. He has no right to rule."
As soon as she was finished, she slipped in to her disguise as a servant and quickly made her way to the kitchens, then Lord Nakago's rooms.
"Your tea, Lord Nakago."
"Ah , good. I see you stole the emperor's energy again. How long do you think he will sleep?"
"Until this evening. He seems very pleased with me. He says that no woman pleased him to the point of exhaustion before."
"The fool never slept with a Hin before. Soi is in my bedchamber. She is ready for you to begin your teachings. I will join you later."
"As you wish, Lord Nakago. Here is my bola. The jewel is yours."
"Thank you. I will keep the gem in the weapon. I may need you to smuggle it out for me."
"I will see to Soi now. She will know the pleasure of 'proper' life energy manipulation and pass it to you, my dearest brother."
"We shall see how well she learns, sister."
Every chance she got, Lapis gave Soi as much training as possible. Soi was a very fast learner and appreciated the chance to give Nakago ultimate pleasure. Within the many weeks of training in sexual energy manipulation, Soi began to think of Lapis like a sister. Lapis just liked being away from the harem.
Lapis had tried to teach some of the concubines some lesser version of her sexual talents, but in their opium drugged state, none could focus long enough to put the methods. The concubines began to bore Lapis. That made Lapis dangerous.
Over the course of a season, several of the concubines mysteriously disappeared, to be found dead, days later in various places on the palace grounds.
Hebishoru suspected Lapis to be behind the murders, but had no proof He believed she was ruthless from jealousy.
Lapis had become the emperor's favorite, making her chances to sneak out less. She took out her violent frustration on the servants and other concubines.
Drugged idiots were not worth her time. She wanted out, no matter how many she had to kill to make it possible.
One evening, before taking her to bed, Hebishoru asked Lapis why she was killing the other concubines.
"Because they are weak. They disgust me. They laugh at me and make rude comments. When they ask why I am able to please you, I try to teach them the proper positions and techniques, but they ignore my advice. They tell me I am disgusting and do not deserve to be there. When one makes me too angry, I kill her. The guards I occasionally seduce, but do not touch, deposit the bodies for me."
"I see. They hate you because you are Hin. Since they frustrate you so much, I will give you a little more freedom to roam around the palace grounds. It will allow you to vent your anger on something besides my beauties. Will that suffice?"
"It will, Your Majesty."
"Very well come here."
Nakago rested for a few days. The concubines in his contrived heaven had sapped his strength. It explained why his life force blast was not strong enough to kill Tomo as he shielded Lapis. Hin women were masters of bouchuu. Ki rejuvination and sapping through coupling was a fine art to them.

"Yes, I am ready. Fate smiles upon us. Hiko thinks he has found Lazuli."
"Oh?"
"Yes, our brother seems to have become a bandit, ravaging the border of Konan. Hiko is going to see the truth of it, and give chase."
"Our brother is running from us. I am sure you realize this already."
