Yume chocked and sputtered, straightening up and letting her voice drop to a normal woman's tone rather than her piping cute voice as she began a lecture to the general public about proper social structures--that is to say, women leading households with their choice of men coming and going freely--and the Imaculate delusion of owning each other, and the far worse southern institution of women as little more than their man's slaves...<br/><br/>Jade glared at them both with unfathomable rage gleaming in her golden eyes before breaking into mad laughter.  She chocked it off, cursing, "Oh, damn you, Darius!  But if i'm going to be damned, I'll be damned!  You, Neomah, on your knees and shut your mouth!"<br/><br/>She pointed at Yume, who'se pine green eyes were wide with shock at the tumultous passion chained under Jade's deterenation.  "You, bouncy, get over here!"<br/><br/>"Umm..." Yume squeeked, not quite sure what to do, and obeying in her confusion.<br/><br/>Jade studdied her body, "You'll make an acceptable conubine once I've squashed this River Country stupidity out of you."<br/><br/>The redhead squeeked again, opened her mouth angrily, only to have Jade grab her by the hair and press her dark chocolate lips demandingly into the redheads.<br/><br/>Yume squeeked again, eyes bugging out, but gasped as her lips yielded to Jade's agressive kiss.<br/><br/>The chocolate skinned girl broke the kiss and gave a satisfied nod.  "That's better.  I never thought I'd accept a master, but at least I wasn't so deluded as to think I could have a man and not submit to him.  Now, get on your..."<br/><br/>Yume snapped, "I am the heir to the Earth and Sky School of Martial Arts, Medecine, and Inner Ballance!  Me!  I am no one's slave, and no one's master!"<br/><br/>Jade deftly scooped the redhead's pendolous breast out of her peasent blouse and gave a painful twist to the autumn leaf nipple.<br/><br/>"OW!" Yume shouted, and Jade stopped her lips with another kiss, this one hungrier, or demanding, as her soft, clever fingers comanded Yume's nipple to swell and stiffen.<br/><br/>Jade released Yume's lips, and the redhead panted, lower lip trembling.  "You keep saying the world's changing, Yume.  You keep saying that it's time to take chances and find new ways of doing things.  Well, I'm taking you seriously.  You're as afraid to be ruled as you are of comitment, Yume.  That's okay, I am too, or I wouldn't be were I am today.  I'd be a Salamin's concubine, or a death knight's.  I don't know if this is the right choice, but i'm not afraid any more."  She kissed Yume tenderly this time, and the larger redhead moaned, sagging against the chocolate skinned girl needily.<br/><br/>Jade smiled this time as she broke the kiss, then spoke to Yume softly, gently.  "It's okay, I'll show you how.  Kneel now, leg's spread."<br/><br/>The redhead's eyes shone as she obeyed.<br/><br/>"Good," the golden eyed girl replied.  "Now press your palms on the grass, and your forehead to your palms, and wait for Darius to aknowlege you.  You'll be fine."<br/><br/>Yume whimpered and nodded again, casting a look at Darius that was both hopeful and frightened.<br/><br/>Jade nodded, then stepped in front of Yume and sank to her knees before Darius with grace and elegence that far made up for her inexperience.  "Darius," she spoke, sudenly trembling.  "Do you want me?  Do you want a harem?  So be it.  I am Harmonious Jade.  All I have is yours, all I am is yours, your hapiness is the soul meaning of my life.  Grant me two boons and I will cease to be Harmonious Jade the Beautiful Killer and become Harmonious Jade the woman, willing slave of Darius, equaly obedient in bed and in battle.  All I ask is that you place me first in your harem, and that you place this demon and any other beneath me and Yume both.  Place no other woman above Harmonious Jade the Woman, and nor any demon, and Harmonious Jade the woman is yours 'til death.  If this is too much to ask, The Beautiful Killer need never darken your life again."
