I am Succubus! Chapter 192

The two of us soared over the canopies of the exotic jungle in search of Kagatsuchi, the kami of fire. We had no idea where to even begin other than to fly from a bird's eye view. It was like Aokigahara tis a thousand. No matter how high we flew, there was no end in sight or any other landmark than the verdant stretch.

"We've been flying for hours! Do we even know where the hell we're going?" Mio asked as she soared slightly ahead of .

"No… They didn't give us any clues on how to find him. Let's try looking for clues below instead?" I suggested.

We nosedived for the surface and landed in a part of the jungle that looked like that one we initially erged from. Everywhere looked the sa. Mio walked up to a pitcher plant and took a swipe at it like a punching bag. It swung back on the rebound, smacking her across the face.

"Urk… This thing's packing heat…" Mio rubbed the side of her cheek.

"Amaterasu did warn us not to disturb the wildlife," I reminded my excitable girlfriend.

To find a kami… How would I go about doing that?

The black ring on my finger, proof of my matrimony to Uta, began to vibrate and hum. Suddenly, he appeared in front of . Uta cupped my cheeks and kissed deeply, shoving his tongue into my mouth. Off to the side, Mio watched with amusent.

When Uta finally parted from my lips, a string of saliva hung between us until it snapped.

"Hi, my lovely wife!" Uta bead happily.

"W-What are you doing here?" I stamred, fidgeting from being brought close to climax by my god husband's long overdue embrace.

"Oh, I'm not actually here. Mother would kill if I was. This is only an astral projection given temporary form. It takes a lot of power to do this, so I'll only be around for a few minutes," he explained.

I clicked my tongue, disappointed that we couldn't get a quickie in.

"So, kid. Whatcha doing here then? You about to help us?" Mio asked.

"That's right. While you're in Takamagahara, I sensed you were having trouble. I'll tell you how to reach my uncle Kaga. Like with any kami, he can be prayed to. However, as the kami of fire, he won't hear you unless you speak into a fla. Whether or not he responds… well, that's up to him. I hope that's enough. I can't stay any longer, because my form is wavering," Uta sulked.

"That's more than enough. Thanks, hubby~" I drew Uta into my arms to make out with him again, and he responded by humping his erection against my belly and groping my butt.

We stayed like that until Uta vanished entirely, much to my dismay.

"Heh. You're a hardcore shotacon, ain't'cha?" Mio sneered.

"N-No, I'm not! It's just Uta that I like, and he's centuries old! Co on, let's start a fire," I insisted, walking off to find kindling before she could tease again.

We eventually gathered enough twigs and dried leaves to form a pile in the dirt. Mio and I ignited our hands with controlled flas, then held it by the kindling until the pile caught fire. Next step was to pray. I put my hands together, shut my eyes, and called out to Kagatsuchi.

A long, drawn out sigh echoed through my mind.

"Wasn't ," Beatrice interjected.

"Saeko, look sharp!" Mio shouted, kicking out of my reverie.

I followed her eyes to a massive red boar, charging straight for us. When Mio and I conjured magic, a spear zipped past us and plunged into the beast's head. It crashed to the ground, skidding to a stop at our feet.

"Sorry to burst your bubble, but killers keepers," a rumbly voice said.

We spun back around. Towering over us was another major kami in the Shinto pantheon. Kagatsuchi, the kami of fire. Or… at least we thought? Kagatsuchi stood a proud six feet up to his shoulders, because he didn't have a head past that. Only a flickering fla like on a candle perched where his head should be.

"You're… Kagatsuchi, right?" I asked reluctantly.

"I am, yes. You are? Don't tell my brother Raijin sent you. Go back. I don't need yokai sex workers to cheer up!" Kagatsuchi groaned, the flas swaying more violently to his emotions.

"If you aren't going to ask, then I will— Where the fuck is your head?!" Mio exclaid.

The kami of fire tied the dead boar by its legs, slung it over his shoulders, and walked past us.

"I don't want to talk about it. Makes self-conscious," he said.

I gave Mio a dirty look.

"Like Tsukuyomi said, their father chopped off his head," I whispered.

"You guys keep saying these words, but it's not making any more sense than the first ti!" Mio complained.

We hurried to catch up to Kagatsuchi, who had stopped in front of his cabin. He threw the boar onto a butchering table and began to skin it. The organs were cut away carefully, deposited into a bucket beneath the table.

"Still here?" Kagatsuchi sighed.

"I need your help to destroy a weapon. This." I brandished the Blade of the First Temptress, but he didn't so much as turn around to look at it.

"Destroy it? A weapon forged by a god from another realm? Don't make laugh. It has never been done and neither is it possible," he said.

"Oh, yeah? If it's never been done before, then how do you know it's not possible? Checkmate, headless!" Mio smirked like she got him with a gotcha.

An audible, exasperated sigh escaped Kagatsuchi, and his flas even snuffed out a little in response.

Mio and I exchanged uneasy looks. It wasn't looking like he would budge. Infuriated, Mio stord up to Kagatsuchi and turned him around.

"Look, buddy. We need that sword destroyed, and we know you're the one who can do it. What's it going to take for you to help us?" Mio asked in desperation.

"The jokester grows impatient! Is it ambition that drives you to demand this of ? Or perhaps you do this for the sake of soone else?" Kagatsuchi turned his fiery head to .

"There's another soul inside . An unwilling one. She's going to take over my body and mind if nothing is done, and destroying this sword is the only way to free us both," I explained.

Kagatsuchi wrenched away from Mio and sliced a piece of at off the boar. He lifted the bleeding chunk up to his face, searing the flesh briefly before sohow biting into it. Mio and I watched with our stomachs churning. He was clearly eating it, because pieces of the at were disappearing before our eyes.

"Want so?" Kagatsuchi asked.

"No…" I shook my head.

"I prefer my at erect and not bleeding all over the place," Mio said.

"This is a female boar," he replied with one hand raising the animal's hind leg.

"Kagatsuchi, please. Is there sothing, anything we can do in exchange?" I asked pleadingly.

The kami stabbed the skinning knife into the boar and wiped his bloodied hands on a towel. He faced us, but I wasn't sure this ti if it was or Mio he was looking at.

"It cannot be done because I do not possess the forging hamr with which to do so. The tool is guarded by the Mizuchi, a sea serpent which belongs to my sister Mizuhano," Kagatsuchi explained.

"Then quit stalling and point us to where this Mizuchi and Mizuhano is," Mio said.

He looked at us like we were crazy. "You're both insane. Mizuchi is a legendary sea dragon, and Mizuhano is the kami of water. You really expect to just waltz over there and take it from her?"

Mio and I looked Kagatsuchi in the eyes.

"Yes," we answered.

"Well." Kagatsuchi chuckled. "In that case, you can find her in the lake which sits at the center of this jungle. Take my shrine to reach her."

"Wait, really?" I asked.

"I lose nothing by you failing and dying. If you sohow succeed, I get my forging hamr back. Follow ." He gestured into his cabin.

We entered the kami's ho, a single room furnished with a bed and cabinet. So hunting equipnt like spears, fishing rods, and traps, hung from nails on the wall. The place was otherwise very modest.

Kagatsuchi shut the door behind us and walked up to the cold fireplace. He breathed his own fire upon it, igniting the kindling underneath, then used the iron fire poker to stoke the flas. The entire cabin lurched without warning, and I stumbled into Mio's back. We held onto each other until the place stopped moving, at which point the kami set down the fire poker and went for the door.

Crisp, fresh air wafted into the cabin. Kagatsuchi threw open the door to an enormous and beautiful, glimring lake. In the distance, situated at the center of the water, was a small island only large enough to accommodate the shrine upon it.

We stepped out of Kagatsuchi's cabin and up to the edge of the lake. The water was still and clear. Koi fish and water sprites swam past us by the hundreds.

"Sister!" Kagatsuchi shouted across the lake.

Nothing happened for a few seconds. Then sothing began to cut through the water from the lake's shrine. Small, like a fish swimming just underneath the surface. Then it grew larger, leaving wakes in the water. The waves grew more intense until a massive dragon rose out of the lake. A woman sat upon its head. Long, blue hair draped down her shoulders. She wore a long, ceremonial white dress that flowed and rippled like the surface of water.

"The dragon is Mizuchi, and the wet bitch up top is my younger sister, Mizuhano," Kagatsuchi introduced us.

"Calling your cute little sister a bitch, do you? I see you haven't matured one bit. What do you want, brother? Have you co to be quenched of your flas again?" Mizuhano asked.

"No. Actually, these two have co to challenge you to return my forging hamr. I'm just here to watch," he said, taking a seat on the steps to his shrine and pouring himself so sake.

Mizuchi lowered itself until we were facing the jaws of the dragon. Mizuhano was more beautiful up close. Her curved brows furrowed at us.

"And who are these misguided challengers?" Mizuhano gazed at us with disinterest.

"They call themselves Mio and Saeko. The latter, if you can believe it, is the wife of Utako!" Kagatsuchi revealed amusedly.

"Utako? You're kidding! Our sweet little nephew… to this… girl? You're not human. What are you?" she asked.

"We're succubi, and circumstances led us here because we need Kagastsuchi to get his hamr back," I explained.

Mizuhano erupted into laughter. Even the dragon rumbled, seemingly amused by our challenge.

"What's so funny, bitch? You wanna go or not? We're not afraid of you!" Mio shook a clenched fist.

"You should be. Because if you intend to fight , then you also face Mizuchi. I accept this challenge, and I agree to the terms of returning Kagatsuchi's forging hamr if you defeat . The question then becos— are you prepared to face us?" Mizuhano sneered.

"We are!" I exclaid.

"Very well," she said. "Then may the battle comnce now!"

"What—"

Taken by surprise, neither of us were prepared for Mizuchi to fire a geyser of water. The pressure of the blast sent us crashing into the jungle. Mio and I picked ourselves up, nodded to each other, and flew back to the lake where Mizuhano awaited.

"Is that all you got?" Mio cackled, lobbing fireball after fireball into the dragon.

The spells connected, but Mizuchi didn't so much as budge from the impacts.

I brandished the Blade of the First Temptress and went directly for Mizuhano, who was atop Mizuchi's head. She raised two fingers up to her lips and shot out another water spout. I barely dodged it, then swung for her head. Mizuchi backed away farther into the lake, and we gave chase.

Mio ca at Mizuhano from the back, and I ca from the front for a pincer. As we got close, a spout of water from the lake pumled us into the sky. We ca crashing down into the water and resurfaced to the sound of her laughter.

"My brother and I have fought countless tis over the millennia! Not once has he defeated . What hope do you have, little mortals, against the kami of water and dragon?" Mizuhano taunted from below.

"This isn't working," Mio muttered. "I've been laying into that dragon, but he doesn't even look bothered!"

"We're going about this fight the wrong way. We should be fighting like succubus," I said, drawing a smirk from her.

The two of us bolted into the sky and lunged for Mizuhano together. When we got close, she and Mizuchi fired geysers of water to keep us at bay. However, that couldn't stop our succubus auras from reaching her.

Mizuhano twitched. Both hands went for her crotch in mild confusion. We seized that brief opening and grappled onto her.

"What do you think you're doing?" The kami of water gasped.

A lustful smile flashed across my face. Mio slipped her hands into Mizuhano's robes. The groped the kami's breasts, causing her to writhe and squirm.

"Oooh! Is this a goddess' titties? Nice and supple. Just how I like it." Mio licked her lips.

"Let's see if you're just as wet down here~" I reached between her crotch to feel a damp patch.

"How dare you… do this to a kami— ahhhh?!" Mizuhano squealed with pleasure as I began to finger her.

Mizuchi tried to shake us off, but we held Mizuhano tight and wouldn't let go. Mine and Mio's tails word their way into the kami's clothing, slowly drilling into both holes.

"Don't resist! It's going to feel better if you just let it happen," I assured her while plunging my tail into her pussy and stroking her clit with my fingers.

"E… Enough!" Mizuhano roared. Sweat flicked off her forehead and exploded the both of us off.

The force sent flying back to shore, but Mio—

"Mio!" I cried as she was snatched up by Mizuchi's jaws.

"Give up," Mizuhano demanded. "You may be a succubus, but you're also mortal. I am a god. The kami of water. There is no hope of you defeating ! For the humiliation you've dealt , don't think I'll let you go with just a beating!"

Damn it. Damn it! If this fight continued, Mio would really die. However, if I gave up, then Beatrice would inevitably take over my body. I couldn't… I didn't want to lose Mio, but…

Mizuhano wasn't just so greater succubus with powerful magic, or insane dryad guided by baser instincts. She was a god. A kami. Why did I even think we could beat her to begin with?

"Grr… Don't give up, Saeko! I see that dumb face you're making when it looks like you're losing. This is our only chance! If you give up now, it's ga over!" Mio shouted, vainly punching the dragon's sharp teeth.

"At this rate, you're going to die! We're up against gods… I-I'm not strong enough—"

"But we are," Beatrice said.

A font of power surged through like a breath of fresh air. I stared at the Blade of the First Temptress, enlarging and growing more savage in my hands. Sexual energy filled and the sword to the brim.

"What… Where were you storing all this?" I whispered in awe.

"Well, I am sort of like a back-up generator in here. You've felt it before, from the yacht? But this isn't the ti to take a trip down mory lane. Get up. Mio needs us!" Beatrice bellowed.

Fighting through the pain, I slowly climbed to my feet. No. Not just . Both of us commanded my body. We stood up and pointed the sword at Mizuchi and Mizuhano. A volley of black energy fired out and slamd into the side of the dragon, the strength of which knocked Mio out of its jaws.

We flew up to Mizuchi and opened fire again, this ti pumling it into the lake. As it fell, Mizuhano separated from the dragon at last and gaped at us in surprise.

"Where did you get all that power from?" Mizuhano growled.

"Wouldn't you like to know? You might be a kami, but there's a lot you're still inexperienced about. I felt it when I was fingering you. You're a virgin!" I accused her.

The kami of water blushed red.

"What does that have to do with anything?!"

"That just ans it's going to be easier to defeat you my way!" Beatrice and I exclaid.

Mizuhano tried to shoot us out of the sky, but we deftly dodged her geysers. We tackled her, and the both of us went falling out of the sky and landing on top of Mizuchi's unconscious body part-way out of the water.

"Get… off !" Mizuhano cried.

With the kami pinned underneath in the sixty-nine position, we pulled her robes aside to find a cute little snatch still wet from being teased earlier.

"Let's see if you can squirt just as much from down here~" We kissed Mizuhano's clit, causing her entire body to twitch.

The pleasure that was new to the kami, left her unable to resist or fight back.

"Shlrrp… shluurrp… chuup…!" I licked and sucked the little nub, thrusted my tail into her pussy, and soon, she began to tremble uncontrollably.

"No… stop… I'm— aaaaahhhhhhh!" Mizuhano convulsed and climaxed, and I reared my head back as she squirted all over the dragon's scales. Even though it was her piss, it sohow tasted fresh like natural spring waters.

The disheveled kami laid there. Defeated. She wept into her arm which covered her red face.

"How's that? I'm more than down to go again." I grinned.

"You… win… I give." Mizuhano panted.

"You did it!" Mio tackled off the kami with an embrace, knocking us both into the waters.

"Yeah… we did…" I hugged her back and felt Beatrice's presence retreat back into the depths of my mind.

Kagatsuchi was waiting at the shore, applauding us as we landed in front of him. Mizuhano slinked out of the waters with her head down, still red as a tomato.

"I believe I'm owed my hamr," Kagatsuchi said.

"Screw you, brother." Mizuhano reached into her sleeve and pulled out a simple blacksmithing hamr.

The kami of fire snatched it from his sister's hands and cradled it like a long lost baby. As for Mizhano, she turned to leave but stopped at the edge of the water to look at , pressing two fingers together in embarrassnt.

"I-I have a shrine in Minato city and Higashiyoshino if you want a rematch. That's all it's going to be, okay? A fight. Nothing more!" Mizuhano exclaid before diving into the water.

Well, who was I to deny her that?

With the hamr in hand, Kagatsuchi brought us back into the depths of the jungle. As if willing the earth to life, he raised a forge and anvil from the very dirt.

"Oh, how I've missed this. Thank you. Truly. For returning my beloved hamr and thoroughly humiliating Mizuhano. I quite enjoyed that show, though I wish to erase the image of my sister's orgasm from my mind. Anyway, your sword? I can destroy it as you wish." Kagatsuchi extended a hand to .

Now that we were finally at this point, I hesitated to give it over. I had every reason to. I would finally be rid of Beatrice, but… then I would really be rid of Beatrice for good. Did I not want that?

"Saeko? Sothing wrong?" Mio asked.

"No, it's nothing," I said and put the sword into Kagatsuchi's hand.

The kami of fire placed the Blade of the First Temptress onto the anvil and glanced over his shoulder to look at .

"You're sure about this? About destroying this weapon? There is no repairing this once it is done," Kagatsuchi said.

There was a mont of pause that gripped my chest. Beatrice wanted to object, but she fought the urge to. She knew it had to be done. Instead, my body was compelled to look at Mio, and Mio looked at . Another urge not of my own wanted to embrace her but just as quickly casted it aside as an impossible thing.

"Mio," I called out to her.

Just by looking in my eyes, Mio sohow knew. She averted her gaze from at first, then wrapped her arms around . At that mont, I took a backseat and let Beatrice take over.

Warmth, sadness, love. All these conflicting emotions that were coming from my forr enemy washed over . Beatrice, in my body, was unsure if she deserved it. Ultimately, she caved and lifted her arms to hug Mio back. She squeezed hard. Her fingers tightened, not wanting to let go.

"I should have been a better sister." Beatrice sighed.

"A shitty sister is all you'll ever be, but… I felt your aura back there when you guys were fighting the water bitch, so thanks for helping, Bea. Bye," Mio whispered quietly.

"Heh. Don't suppose that earns a few tears from you, does it?" she asked.

"Fat chance."

Beatrice flashed a smile. She brought a hand to Mio's cheek. I thought she was going to go in for a kiss, but control of my body was given back to .

Are you sure? I asked internally.

"What for? This is your body. Not mine. So it is yours to live alongside my little sister," Beatrice said.

I turned to Kagatsuchi and nodded to give him the go ahead. The kami of fire lifted his forging hamr above his head, preparing to strike the Blade of the First Temptress.

"Bye for good, Beatrice." I offered her a smile.

"Perhaps you have what it takes to be queen after all. Don't go fucking it up now, you hear?" Beatrice said as the hamr ca down hard on the artifact sword and shattered it on impact.

A massive pulse of energy erupted outwards, knocking into Mio's arms. Shards went flying everywhere. Kagatsuchi struck a second ti and only dust remained on the anvil, remnants of the weapon that brought about this whole debacle.

"It is done. The sword has been destroyed," Kagatsuchi inford us.

My mind was quiet. Not a single peep.

A strange, fuzzy ball of energy rose from the pieces of the sword and into the sky. We all watched it go until it vanished from thin air.

"Was that…?" Mio hesitated to finish asking.

"That was the soul. Gone to rest in peace among the realms of Takamagahara. It may not belong here, but like all kami, we will ensure it is cared for." Kagatsuchi nodded to us.

Mio couldn't take her eyes off where the soul had disappeared. It took until I tugged on her hand that she finally snapped out of it. Together, without a word to each other all the way back, Kagatsuchi returned us to Takamagahara city, and subsequently back ho through Kon's boat.

We decided against telling the others for now. A lot happened in one day, and I could tell Mio was deathly exhausted. As soon as we got ho to our apartnt at Tsukiji, Mio skipped a bath and threw herself into bed. I joined her not too long after and slept right beside her.

The mont my head hit the pillow and sleep overtook , I woke up in front of Beatrice's cottage again. Part of was hoping for her to co out and surprise , invite to fish and eat with her, and even tell stories about Mio when they were younger. Nope. Only the steady waters and rustling leaves.

"Is she really gone?" Mio asked.

I glanced over my shoulder, surprised to find Mio had entered the sa dream.

"Looks like it," I said.

"Don't get the wrong idea. I wasn't expecting to see her or anything. I just… I dunno. I wanted to see what kind of place she was living in all this ti," Mio explained with a slight quiver in her voice.

I grabbed her hand, and we walked inside the cottage together. Everything was tidied up. The fireplace was cold. There was a letter on the table that wasn't here before. While I didn't recognize the handwriting, it seed by Mio's gasp that she did. This couldn't have been anyone other than from Beatrice.

"Do you want to read it?" I asked.

"No. I will," Mio said, then steadied herself before beginning. "To my sister. I thought about going quietly. Every step of the way I also thought about going back on my word and seizing this body for myself. Saeko, that cunt. I can't believe she has you in her clutches so tightly. But I get it. Along the way, I started seeing what you saw in her. Goodness, it's because of her that I'm writing this accursed letter! My greatest fear as an older sister has always been leaving you alone, but now…" She started choking up and cleared her throat. "But now, knowing that Saeko is by your side, I'm quite content that you will be fine. You were the one to transform her. Maybe you can be the one to help her grow so balls for once. As the queen, she will need them. Oh, I almost forgot. Saeko told you punched Delilah. Good. Fuck that bitch. Anyway… Farewell, little sister. Should we find each other as siblings in the next lifeti, I shall not lose you a second ti."

I almost didn't believe that Beatrice wrote this.

A couple of tears dripped onto the letter. Mio shoved it into my hand and turned away. She walked over to the window, casting her gaze out at the creek.

"Do you need a mont?" I rubbed Mio's back to let her know I was here.

"Nah. I'm good. How long is this place gonna last?" Mio asked, still facing outside.

"I pretty much have it committed to mory, so it's here to stay unless I want to erase it. Why?"

"Let's keep it around for a while. I kinda like it. Maybe drag Kana in here and mark the place with a threeso," she suggested.

Without warning, Mio peeled away from the window and whisked past . She threw open door after door until she found the bedroom.

"Mio!" I called out, putting a stop to her hyperactive solo tour. "If you're sad, it's okay to cry."

"Tch. Cry for what? That shitty sister of mine?" Mio asked.

"Trust , it helps. Just because you cry for Beatrice, doesn't an it's going to invalidate her being shitty. You can still cry about losing her."

I figured I had read Mio all wrong, that maybe she really didn't have any tears to shed. Then I saw her shoulders shaking and tears dripping onto the floorboards. As though the last traces of Beatrice's consciousness compelled , I hugged Mio from behind. We stayed in the cottage all day, and I held Mio as she cried into my shoulders for as long as she needed.
