Alright, final part of this flashback chapter.
*********
Part 5
The clicking sound of gears and a watch was heard in the distance.
Suddenly the gears started to spin fast as they moved forward, before slowing down and resuming their normal speed.
Hayate Yagami, an eleven-year-old girl with short, brown hair and blue eyes, smiled as she moved around in her wheelchair. "I was hoping to be able to walk today too." She patted down her sweat-shirt to wipe some dust off of it.
A more mature woman with blue eyes, short, blonde hair, who was wearing jeans and a casual t-shirt, smiled at Hayate. "You've been working hard. The doctors said that some days where your legs don't want to work is perfectly normal, Hayate-chan."
"I know, Shamal." Hayate sighed softly. "I just thought that after two years I wouldn't have bad days again."
"Well, I wouldn't worry about it too much." Shamal told her. "You've been doing really well with your physical therapy. You should be fully recovered within the year."
"Yeah." Hayate nodded, smiling brightly. "I'm looking forward to when my legs are working right all the time."
Shamal smiled before sighing softly. "Sadly, Hayate, I and the others have to go on a small mission. It's not much, but we'll be gone for the day."
"I know." Hayate nodded. "I'm going to go to the library today to hang out with Suzuka-chan and read some books." Shamal smiled at that. "But, please, don't let the Bureau be too mean to you."
Shamal chuckled softly. "Don't worry, the Bureau's been really nice to us. They haven't asked us to do anything beyond what we can do as a team and they haven't tried to do anything lewd to us either."
Hayate had a smile on her face. "That's good, because I was worried that they were doing perverted stuff to you, Signum and Vita-chan and that maybe they had female mages doing bad things to Zafira too."
Shamal sweat-dropped heavily. "I told you that being online was bad for you, you're getting weird ideas in your head again."
Hayate smiled and rolled to the door. "Well, I'm off." She smiled as the newest member of the family flew right at her. "Rein?"
"I wanna come with, daddy!" The short girl, only thirty centimeters tall, with long, silver-white hair and bright, blue eyes, who was wearing a blue and white outfit, smiled at Hayate while waving her tiny arms and legs up and down on the side of her body.
"Only three days old and you call me daddy." Hayate sighed softly. "Okay, but most people don't know what to think about a tiny girl like you, so..." She grabbed the miniature girl and shoved Reinforce Zwei between her modest and still-developing breasts. "I'll show you to Suzuka-chan when we get there, but until then, stay there."
"Okay." Reinforce Zwei said between her boobs.
Hayate grabbed a coat and put it on as well as an umbrella. "We're off." Hayate said as she rolled out the door. She was suddenly stopped as Shamal grabbed her wheelchair. "Shamal?"
"At least let me take you to the library." Shamal smiled at Hayate. "Besides, it rained yesterday and I don't want you getting splashed on the way there. I'll have to leave in a few minutes, but we can get to the library before I have to go."
Hayate smiled and nodded as Shamal pushed her out of the house.
(---)
A little later...
"We're here." Shamal said to Hayate as they got to the library grounds. "I'd love to push you inside, but I have to go."
"It's fine, Shamal." Hayate smiled as she wheeled herself towards the handicap ramp. "I'll be fine."
"Good luck then, Hayate!" Shamal nodded before turning and leaving.
As she rolled up the wheelchair ramp, Hayate paused for a moment, applying the brakes and looking around. "It sure is nice outside." Sure, it was still wet, due to how heavy the rain was the day before, but it was nice to see the world after rain.
"It is pretty." Reinforce said as she poked her head out from between Hayate's boobs."
"Yeah, it would be nice if things could stay peaceful like this." Hayate nodded and undid the brakes and went to grab her wheels, before pushing forward. "Ah!" She gasped as she realized that she didn't push hard enough and the chair was rolling backwords too fast. "Oh no."
"Daddy! I'll..."
Whatever Reinforce Zwei was going to say was cut off as Hayate's backwards momentum was suddenly stopped. "Huh?" Hayate asked as she realized that she wasn't moving. "Shamal, is that.." Hayate turned her head and gasped again. "You?"
Standing behind her was a boy that was a little older than her, with black hair done up in a loose ponytail and clear, blue eyes. He was wearing a slightly tattered white training Gi and he smiled at her. "Are you okay?"
Hayate, for some reason, found herself blushing as she looked at the boy. "Ah, yes, thank you."
"Master!" A female voice called out and Hayate turned her head as a girl, who looked to be about her age, with short purple hair, red eyes and was wearing a similar outfit to the boy, walked up behind them. "We haven't been in town for even ten minutes and you're trying to do what you did in Kyoto again?"
"Come on, Lilith, I wasn't going to let someone roll off the ramp like that." The boy told her.
Lilith rolled her eyes. "Seriously, Master..." She sighed and shook her head. "Hello."
"Ah, hi." Hayate smiled at her. "Miss Lilith?"
Lilith shook her head. "Just Lilith is fine."
"And..." Hayate looked at the boy. "Mister Master?"
The boy sighed as Lilith suddenly clutched her stomach and started laughing hard. "My name's Ranma, not master. Ranma Saotome," he jerked a thumb at the laughing Lilith, "her name's Lilith Aensland. We've been traveling together for four years now."
"Ah!" Hayate nodded. "My name is Hayate Yagami." She smiled at him. "Thank you for stopping me from going back too far. I stopped to admire the scenery and didn't catch my wheels."
"So, returning a book or something?" Ranma asked as he pushed her up the ramp to the library proper.
"Or something." Hayate smiled as the doors opened up so the three of them could go inside. "I was meeting with a friend of mine." She waved at one of the librarians, who smiled and waved back. "Thank you so much for taking me in here, I'm sure that..." Hayate's eyes widened and she pointed at someone sitting at a table. "That's her!" She rolled forward and Ranma and Lilith looked at each other before following after Hayate. "Suzuka-chan!"
Suzuka smiled as she got up from the table. "Ah, Hayate-chan, it's..." She gasped in surprise as she saw who was behind Hayate. "You two..."
"Oh!" Hayate blushed softly and gestured behind her. "Where are my manners? This is Ranma Saotome and Lilith Aensland, we met just outside and they helped me inside."
"Wait, is that Suzuka?" Lilith gasped in surprise as she saw the girl in question. "Wow! You grew big boobs in the past two years, huh?" Suzuka blushed and covered her chest while Hayate turned her wheelchair to look at Lilith more fully.
"You like them?" Hayate asked Lilith, who nodded. "Well good, I helped Suzuka-chan and Arisa-chan and Fate-chan and Nanoha-chan all grow their boobs through constant fondling. Nanoha-chan and Arisa-chan's boobs are still a little small, but Suzuka-chan and Fate-chan's boobs are coming in just fine!"
Suddenly Lilith was in front of Hayate and grabbing her hands, shaking them up and down. "Oh! You are such a perfect child!" She looked at Ranma, who was sweat-dropping heavily. "Can we adopt her into the family? I'd love it if Master had a little sister that was this cute and loved boobs as much as she does."
"Big brother?" Hayate blinked a few times and looked at Ranma before her face lit up. "Can I call you my big brother?"
Ranma chuckled nervously and rubbed the back of his head while his face got a bit flush. "Well, I guess... It wouldn't be a bad thing to have a little sister that was as cute as you are."
"Um..." Suzuka spoke up and caused Ranma, Lilith and Hayate to look at her. "Hayate-chan, why are you in your wheelchair? I thought you had recovered."
Hayate sighed, a disappointed look on her face. "Sadly, my legs decided right after dinner last night to stop working and I fell to the floor. Thankfully Vita-chan was at home and got me my wheelchair. We called the doctor and I was told that sometimes setbacks happen. So I guess it's just a bad day today." She then smiled and gently clapped her hands. "I'm sure that it's just a temporary set-back and not permanent." She rolled her wheelchair over to the table. "Actually, I wanted to show you someone." She reached into her shirt and pulled out a miniature girl. "This is Reinforce Zwei."
"Oh my goodness!" Suzuka gasped in surprise. "She's so cute."
Reinforce giggled while Ranma and Lilith both looked at her curiously. "Master..." Lilith whispered and Ranma nodded.
"Yeah, I've never seen a small girl like before." Ranma whispered back. "Now that I look more closely, Hayate has a lot of magic too, doesn't she?" Lilith nodded. "I wonder if Suzuka..."
"So, Hayate..." Suzuka spoke to the wheelchair-bound girl. "How come you didn't just use magic to float around?"
"Eh, I shouldn't waste my magic like that." Hayate waved her hand. "If I did..." Her eyes widened and she looked at Ranma and Lilith, who were giving her a startled look. "Ah, that is..."
"Well, at least we don't need to wonder if Suzuka knows about magic." Lilith chuckled and sat down at the table. "How'd you find out?"
"Nanoha-chan told me and Arisa-chan about it." Suzuka told her and Lilith nodded. "And, my big sister told me about our family's history with yours so..."
Lilith waved it off. "Don't worry, that was then, this is now. I might say or do something mean, but I don't mean it." Suzuka nodded. "Plus Master would spank my ass if I did something too mean."
"Master?" Suzuka asked in confusion and looked at Ranma before looking back at Lilith and pointing at Ranma. "You mean him?"
Lilith sighed and nodded. "Yes. Ah... Let's just say..."
"I died." Ranma told her and Suzuka and Hayate both stared at him in shock and surprise. "Lilith, for some stupid reason, decided to bring me back to life, in doing so, she gave up like half of her life to bond herself with me. If I die, she dies. If she dies, I die."
Lilith let out a huff as she crossed her arms over her chest. "And I told you before, Master, I made my choice. You're alive because of it." She grimaced and looked away. "Even if it means that all the Devil Hunters we come across now think of you as some kind of evil Demon."
Ranma sighed as he saw her apologetic look. "Lilith... I don't mind that you saved my life, it's fine." He smiled and walked over to her, putting a hand on her head. "What I don't like is that you gave up half your lifespan to save me."
"I'm a succubus," Lilith told him, "I'll live for a couple of centuries and then die anyway, might as well make use of my life by helping you out, Master."
"So big brother's servant is a succubus?" Hayate asked as she blinked in confusion. "Wow!" She clapped her hands. "This is like a manga!"
"So..." Lilith looked at Reinforce Zwei. "What are you? I've never seen a tiny girl with magic power like yours before."
Reinforce Zwei had a broad smile on her face as she put her hands on her hips. "Huhuhuhuhuhu... I'm Reinforce Zwei! The Tome of the Azure Sky! A Unison Device that supports daddy and the Wolkenritter in battle!"
"Volkenritter?" Ranma asked in confusion.
"No, Wolkenritter!" Reinforce Zwei shook her head. "It sounds like Volkenritter, but it's Wolkenritter."
"Wait!" Lilith gasped in surprise. "Unison Device? Is that like Nanoha's Raising Heart thing?"
"Ah!" Hayate perked up. "Rein's similar. She's got her own mind and can think her own thoughts and can even fuse with me to help me cast my magic spells, since I got my magic differently from other people, I don't have a lot of control and mostly do big spells. So Rein helps me speed up my casting and makes it more accurate."
"Ah, okay." Ranma nodded at her and looked at the little miniature girl. "So... Why does she call you daddy then?"
Hayate blushed while Suzuka giggled. "Well, that is..." Hayate began, "see, I had another Unison Device named Reinforce, but she was broken and had to be sealed away so she wouldn't hurt anyone. I took what was left of her and then used some of my Linker Core to make Reinforce Zwei."
"Oh." Lilith nodded, "so you really are her daddy."
Hayate hung her head and pouted. "I'm not a boy."
"Yeah, you're too cute to be a boy." Ranma said with a nod and Hayate's eyes sparkled as she looked at him. "Unless..." Ranma looked at her lap.
Hayate put her hands over her lap and her face turned red. "I DON'T HAVE A...!"
"SHHHHH!" Someone from nearby hushed Hayate, who looked away.
"Sorry." She said meekly. "As I said, I don't have a penis, big brother." Hayate was blushing and fidgeting.
"Sorry." Ranma said. "I believe you." Hayate smiled up at him. "Sorry, but Lilith and I should go. We were just near by and wanted to stop and say hi to our friends here before leaving."
Hayate pouted at him. "Couldn't you stay overnight? You could meet my family?"
"Ah, Lilith and I have to talk to pops about it and..." Ranma trailed off at Hayate's look. "How about this? We'll show up tomorrow and meet them then?"
"But you don't even know where I live..." Hayate trailed off.
"Well, if you're friends with Suzuka..." Lilith spoke up, "I bet you two go to the same school." They nodded. "So, get any new friends since we were away?"
"Well, there's Fate-chan..." Suzuka said and Lilith's eyes lit up, quite literally as they started to glow. "Ah?"
Lilith's eyes stopped glowing as she looked at Suzuka in excitement. "Blonde hair, red eyes, soft voice, cute as a million puppies and so adorable that you can't get mad at her with an amazing butt?"
Hayate giggled and nodded. "Yes, that sounds like Fate-chan."
"She got away from her mother." Lilith whispered, smiling softly. "That's good."
"By the way," Hayate had a grin on her face, "if you're curious, Fate-chan's boobs are just as good as her butt."
Lilith's face lit up at the thought of Fate's boobs being as good to look at as her butt was. "Master, we have to show up tomorrow after school so I can meet with Fate again."
Ranma nodded, "yeah, that sounds good to me." He looked at Hayate and Suzuka. "Can you two keep it a secret from the others?" He asked while giving them a pleading expression.
"Well, since it's coming from my beloved big brother, how can I say no?" Hayate asked and giggled. "But only if he sees me as his little sister." She giggled as Ranma's face turned red. "It's okay, I'll wait for you."
After waving Ranma and Lilith off, Suzuka smirked and looked at Hayate. "I'll wait for you?" Her smirk grew as Hayate's face started to turn red. "It sounds like you're in love with him and saying that you'll wait for your husband to come back from the battlefield."
Hayate continued to blush. "Well, maybe." She wasn't sure what she felt, but she knew that her big brother was really neat and for some reason she just wanted to be with him all the time.
(---)
The next day...
Lilith skipped right next to Ranma as he walked towards school. "Hey, hey, Master, I bet that Nanoha and Fate are super sexy..." A mischievous smirk came to her face. "And if Arisa's anything like them..." She giggled as Ranma rolled his eyes.
"Look, we're here just to say hi, meet Hayate's family and then we have to leave." Ranma sighed softly as he thought about leaving her. "Though I suppose we could spend one night here." Genma was having them head off to the Southern parts of Japan for the next couple of years on the training trip. After that, Ranma wasn't sure what was going to happen.
As they got to the end of the block, Lilith suddenly went pale. "Um, Master, whatever you do, do not look to your left."
"Huh?" Ranma blinked and turned his head to do just that.
And saw the most terrifying, repulsive and dangerous thing to ever walk the planet.
"Meow." The tiny black kitten, which was sitting on the wall, said.
"C-C-C-C-C-CAAAAAT!!!" Ranma screamed and suddenly bolted from the area while Lilith clutched at her head and fell to her knees.
As Ranma ran, all he could think about was getting away from the evil, furry creature that wanted to torture him, gut him, eat him and then sleep on his corpse. In his panic, he didn't see the tree root that was poking out of the ground that caused him to trip. Thankfully, his skill and training allowed him to avoid the worst of it as his body reacted while his mind was pre-occupied.
He only crashed into a street sign, knocking it over as he landed on it and slid forward, face down.
It was much better than tripping, falling and tumbling in a rather comical matter after all.
Ranma just groaned and stayed face-down on the ground for a bit while he tried to collect himself. 'Damn cats! Why can't they just...' His thoughts were interrupted as he heard someone saying something above him. He lifted his head up and the first thing he saw was a white skirt. "Lilith," he growled and flipped his arm up, "quiet, my head hurts."
Sadly for Ranma, he didn't completely control his strength and his arm caused the skirt to flip completely up, revealing that the person who was standing above him was wearing green panties.
"AHHH!" A voice that sounded familiar to Ranma caught his attention as he got up and he realized that the person in front of him wasn't Lilith, but someone he hadn't seen in over two years in Arisa, only her hair was starting to grow out past her shoulders.
"You jerk! You just flip up anyone's skirt in front of everyone?!" Arisa yelled as she pushed her skirt down, blushing hard. "Why the heck would you do that?! Huh?! Just going around and doing MMPH?!"
Ranma, in his panic-addled mind, couldn't even think straight, the only thing he wanted to do was quiet down the person who was yelling at him and Lilith often mentioned the best way to quiet someone down was by putting something on their mouth.
The fact that he was putting his lips on hers to quiet her down was proof that Lilith's soul bonding was quite effective in more ways than one.
More than one person gasped in shock and surprise.
Ranma broke the kiss and blinked a few times as his mind started to reboot properly and his thoughts became more rational. "Ah, Arisa... Oh crap, what did I..?"
"RANMA YOU JERK!" Arisa screamed and slapped his cheek so hard that he found himself on his back as she ran off, crying.
(---)
A little later...
"Gee, big brother, you shouldn't have done that." Hayate admonished Ranma as he pushed her to her house.
"The fact that my cheek still hurts tells me that more than words ever could." Ranma answered, the red handprint of Arisa's slap still fresh and vibrant. "And the fact that Nanoha is giving me dirty looks still despite being behind me doesn't hurt either."
"I could make it hurt." Nanoha glowered at him. "How could you do that to Arisa-chan?!"
Ranma sighed and hung his head. "You know my problem with cats?" Ranma asked and looked back at Nanoha, who was looking at him confused. "I don't like them. I need to run away from them."
"Oh, you have ailurophobia?" Hayate asked and Ranma looked back at her in confusion. "An unreasonable fear of cats."
"It's not unreasonable!" Ranma protested loudly. "They're evil, furry, want to eat me, eyes..." He shuddered and both Nanoha and Hayate had concerned looks on their faces as he trembled. "The eyes, they're looking at me... No! No more! I don't want this anymore! Stop!"
Suddenly Ranma found himself on his knees with his face against Hayate's chest as she held him. "H...huh?"
"Poor big brother." Hayate whispered softly as she patted his back. "I had no clue. No wonder you were acting like that at school, your mind must have been scrambled from the fear."
"Great, now I feel bad for getting mad at him." Nanoha sighed softly. "Look, Ranma, I'll tell Arisa-chan what happened when she calms down, okay? But you need to apologize to her before you leave. Or at least leave a letter."
Ranma let out a soft sigh and nodded as Hayate let go of her hug. "Yeah, thanks, I..."
"Maaaaassssttteeerrrrr!" Lilith's voice was heard and Ranma looked up in time to catch Lilith as she tackled him from above. "Master! I finally got over that really bad fear headache you gave me!" She pouted at him. "Why didn't you listen to me?! I told you not to look."
"That only makes me more likely to look!" Ranma protested from where he was on the ground. He sighed at the look she gave him. "Okay, I'm sorry, and I know what's wrong, we'll take care of it later, okay?" Lilith nodded and got off of Ranma, helping him to his feet.
"...Master?" Nanoha asked in confusion. "What happened?"
"Oh, this and that." Lilith told her. "Master is now my master and I'm his servant." Seeing Nanoha's confused look, Lilith sighed. "Master kind of died and I brought him back to life by giving up some of my life."
"You gave up half of your life." Ranma reminded her.
"And I don't regret it, Master." Lilith told him with a huff. "Anyway, it's a side-effect, so he's my master now."
"Oh, so you're his slave?" Nanoha asked and Lilith nodded. "Ahhh! Ranma's an evil slave owner!" She stuck her tongue out at the looks that Lilith, Ranma and Hayate gave her. "And that's for kissing Arisa-chan in front of everyone!"
Lilith gawked before suddenly laughing. "You were teasing?! Hahahahahahaha!"
"Nanoha-chan is really good at teasing. She does it all the time to us." Hayate groused. "We can never tell when she's being serious or not."
Ranma gave Lilith a dirty look as she sweat-dropped. "That's all your fault."
Lilith giggled and rubbed the back of her head. "Um, where's Fate? I wanted to say hello."
"Fate-chan had to leave school early." Nanoha told Lilith. "She just had a doctor's appointment is all." Nanoha waved her hands as Lilith looked concerned. "No, no, Fate-chan's fine, she just needed a standard check-up is all. Her appointment happened to be just before school ended, so she didn't get to see you. If you want, I could tell her that we'll be at Hayate-chan's place." Lilith nodded and Nanoha closed her eyes for a moment before nodding and smiling. "And done. She'll be coming over after she's done."
"Telepathy?" Lilith asked and Nanoha nodded. "Neat, you should teach that to me so Master and I can talk over long distances." She grinned. "Or even... Heh heh heh..."
Nanoha and Hayate both looked confused while Ranma blushed. When Lilith didn't stop chuckling, he slapped her ass and grabbed Hayate's wheelchair, pushing it towards Hayate's house.
"Mouuu..." Lilith whined as she rubbed her butt. "Master, that hurt."
"Good."
Lilith narrowed her eyes and suddenly jumped on Ranma's back, wrapping her legs around his waist while hugging him, which caused him to stagger and glare up at her. "Gimme a piggyback ride then!"
"What?"
Lilith pouted. "My butt hurts since Master was sooo mean to me, spanking me in public. Why, I might get arrested for public indecency if I was caught rubbing my butt."
Nanoha giggled as she walked after them. "I was worried that Ranma and Lilith changed because they're master and slave, but I'm glad that they haven't." Even if the relationship was different than what she remembered, the two seemed like they were still good friends with each other.
(---)
"I'm home!" Hayate called out as she entered the door.
"Hayate!" A young voice was heard and there was a pitter-patter of feet before a young-looking girl wearing shorts and a t-shirt with blue eyes and red hair in braided pigtails ran into the room. "Hey, uh..." She narrowed her eyes at Ranma. "Who's that?" She didn't even register Lilith, who was next to Ranma.
Hayate opened her mouth before an idea came to her. "Vita-chan, I want you to meet my big brother."
"Huh?" Vita said blandly.
"And we're getting married."
"HUUUUUH?!" Vita, Ranma and Nanoha all said at the same time.
Hayate suddenly grinned as she put her hands over her mouth. "Hahahahahahaha! You all bought it!"
Ranma sweat-dropped heavily. "...My little sister is super dangerous."
"Hahahahahahahaha!" Lilith was on the floor, kicking her legs up and down as she laughed.
(---)
After calming both Hayate and Lilith down, Ranma and Lilith were introduced to Signum, Shamal and Zafira. A few minutes later, there was a knocking on the door and Vita opened it, revealing Fate, who was smiling. "Hello, am I late?"
"Fate-chan!" Nanoha waved at the blonde. "Look! A couple of old friends were in town and wanted to meet you."
"Ah!" Fate saw Lilith and her face turned slightly red. "Lilith and I were friends from back then."
"You were?!" Nanoha yelped in surprise and looked at Lilith with a suspicious look on her face. "Just when did that happen?"
"When I was looking around town for something to do, I came across where Fate was sleeping and became friends with her." Lilith said while shrugging and she walked over to Fate with a grin on her face. "You've gotten a lot more pretty, haven't you?" She giggled as Fate had a flustered look on her face and she looked away. "You were cute like all the puppies in the world, but now you're just flat-out pretty."
"Lilith, stop teasing her." Ranma groaned and shook his head. "Sorry about that, Fate."
"It.. It's okay." Fate said with a soft smile on her face. "She was like that even when we first met. I'm glad that she hasn't changed."
"I think I should make some snacks." Shamal said as she got up from where she was sitting and went into the kitchen.
Seeing Shamal going to the kitchen to make some snacks, Hayate and Vita both sweat-dropped. "Ah, Shamal, do you want some help?" Hayate asked her.
"Don't worry, Hayate, I'm just going to make some sandwiches." Shamal said as she went into the kitchen. "I won't even use the toaster this time."
"For some reason, I'm still worried." Vita muttered as Zafira followed after. "Hold on, I'll make sure that you don't."
There was a weird sound that filled the room that had everyone pausing in fear before they all made their way to the kitchen.
"AHHH!" Shamal yelled as she ran water over a plate that was on fire. "I tried to make sandwiches and it set itself on fire!" She cried, tears falling from her eyes. "How did that happen?!"
"Um, maybe you should just try to serve ice cream?" Lilith offered and Shamal's eyes lit up.
"Of course!" She nodded as the fire died out. "Ice cream! It can't betray me!" She walked over to the freezer and grabbed a pint of ice cream and a bowl that had been washed earlier. "Surely this won't do anything weird."
As Shamal scooped out the ice cream, everyone, including Shamal sweat-dropped heavily as the ice cream spontaneously combusted, both what was in the bowl and what was in the original container.
"If God is real," Lilith muttered softly, "this is surely his idea of a sick joke."
"Or it's a curse." Ranma muttered as Shamal cried while Signum and Vita quickly worked to contain the fire. By the time it was put out, the bowl had turned into a liquid puddle that had melted into the table.
"...We'll have to get a new table." Signum said with a sigh.
"Or we keep this and have a funny story to tell in the future." Hayate said with a soft giggle.
(---)
A little later...
"So..." Ranma looked at the blue wolf, "you and the others, I can feel some sort of magic between you four and Hayate, but..."
"You could call me her Guardian Beast." Zafira told him. "I don't wish to go into details, but Hayate gives us magical power so we can live, in exchange we protect her with our lives."
"Oh, like a familiar?" Ranma asked and Zafira nodded.
"Yes, but I'm from Belka, so I'm a Guardian Beast."
"...Velka?" Ranma asked the blue wolf, who sighed and hung his head.
"Everyone gets it wrong. Yes, that's what it sounds like, but it's Belka." Zafira corrected him and Ranma nodded.
"So..." Ranma scratched his head. "Are you just a wolf or do you have a human form?"
Zafira chuckled at Ranma's question. "While I can become more human, I stay in this form constantly. It reduces mana drain from Hayate, plus there's less questions if people wonder why a young girl has an adult male living with her as opposed to a large wolf."
"That makes sense." Ranma said as he looked at the fur.
"If you want to pet me, go ahead." Zafira said as he laid down and Ranma walked over and ran his hand over Zafira's fur. "I don't find it offensive in the slightest."
"Well, when talking to anything that looks like an animal that can talk back, it's not right to assume anything. I met a raccoon that could talk and I tried to pet it and the thing kicked me between the legs." Ranma grimaced at the memory. "That wasn't fun."
"I bet not." Zafira said as Ranma continue to pet him. "But that's a good rule to have for the future."
(---)
Lilith stood outside of Hayate's house, leaning against the wall as Fate came outside. "So, you wanted to talk?" She asked as the two of them stood in Hayate's back yard.
Fate smiled. "I missed you." Fate grabbed Lilith's hands and gave them a squeeze. "You were my first friend..." Lilith smiled and squeezed Fate's hands back. "But Nanoha and Hayate, they're good friends too. I wish I could have contacted you."
"For what?" Lilith asked in confusion and Fate sighed softly.
"Lately, whenever I think of Nanoha, I just..." She blushed and fidgeted. "I remember when you healed me and what you did to me."
Lilith blinked a few times before her eyes widened in shock. "Oh! You want me to do that again?" She grinned as Fate blushed more. "Oh, the things I could do to you..."
"Well..." Fate fidgeted. "I wouldn't mind it, but when I think about what you did to me, I was thinking I wanted it to be Nanoha who did it, but..." She sighed softly and let go of Lilith's hands. "For some reason, Nanoha seems to not understand how I feel about her. I don't know how to tell her."
Lilith blinked a few times before she slapped her forehead. "Ah, let me go talk to her."
Fate nodded as Lilith walked back inside and found Nanoha talking with Hayate. "Hey, Nanoha, can I talk to you in the hallway?" Nanoha blinked and nodded as she walked with Lilith to the side. "You know..." Lilith said before turning around. "I think Fate's in love with you."
Nanoha looked confused. "Eh?! But I love her too. We're friends."
Lilith shook her head and pulled Nanoha into a headlock. "Moron, she loves you like Kyouya loves Shinobu."
Nanoha was confused for a moment. "...Oh?" Suddenly her eyes lit up in surprise. "....OH!" Lilith nodded. "Bu-but-but..."
"She has a really nice butt." Lilith said as she let go of the headlock. "Look, even if you don't know how you feel about her, you should at least know how she feels about you, dummy."
"Nyahahahahaha..." Nanoha giggled nervously. "Where is Fate-chan?" Lilith pointed to the backyard. "I guess I need to talk to her." Lilith nodded. "...How did you..?"
"I'm a succubus, I can feel other people's emotions, you know?" Lilith winked at Nanoha, spun her around and slapped the girl's butt loudly, getting a yelp from Nanoha. "Now go before I decide to steal Fate away from you."

It was a few hours later that found Ranma laying on the bed in the guest room. His eyes were closed before he felt someone climb into bed with him. "Huh?" He felt someone's lips on his and he didn't resist as he kissed back. He didn't even resist as he felt that person's hands on his pants, undoing them and sliding them down. After his pants, his underwear went along with them and the kiss was broken and he opened his eyes to see a naked Lilith straddling him.
"Oh?" Lilith grinned as she rubbed his rapidly hardening dick. "Is this for me, Master?" Her left hand rubbed his dick while her right hand rubbed her crotch.
Ranma grunted. "We... We shouldn't do this here." He said as Lilith smirked and positioned herself over him.
"And why not?" Lilith asked as she slid him into her. "Mmmm... That's nice. I'm hungry and you haven't fed me yet."
Ranma groaned and nodded. He wasn't sure about doing this, but it did feel nice. After all, this was only the third time that the two of them had done this thing and it felt really good, so it couldn't have been bad, right?
Lilith sighed as she rocked her hips on top of him. "Mmmm... This feels nice." Sure, she knew he'd get bigger as he grew older, but right now, he felt nice. Lilith grinned as she dropped her butt down again. "I'm going to make you into the perfect lover that knows how to use his dick. Any woman who you bed won't be able to think about anyone else when I'm done with you."
Ranma was blushing as he thrust his hips upwards. "And... What if I don't... Nmmmmgh... Want..."
"No, no, Master..." Lilith shook her head as she ran a finger over his chest. "Eventually you'll be able to outlast me. When that happens, you'll need lots of lovers to satisfy you." She had a blush on her face as she grinned at him. "It's okay to not have great stamina now, you can go more than once, so that's good for now, just..." Lilith cooed as she felt Ranma cum inside of her. "Mmmm... That's good, Master... I'll have to..."
"Oh!" A gasping voice had Lilith and Ranma both stare at the door where Hayate, dressed in light blue pajamas, was sitting in her wheelchair and was watching them with a weird expression on her face. "Big brother... Doing... Doing lewd..."
The next thing either of them knew, Hayate was pushing herself up out of her wheelchair and launched herself into the bed, tackling Lilith as she straddled the Succubus and fondled her small chest. "Heheheheheheheheh..." She grinned while breathing heavily. "Lewd... Lewd..."
"Ah..." Lilith blinked a few times as she tried to figure out what was going on with Hayate before she smirked and sat up slightly. She hooked a thumb under the waistband of Hayate's pajamas and slid them and her panties down, leaving her bare ass exposed. "Master, I think Hayate wants you to claim her." She giggled as she grabbed Hayate's butt-cheeks and spread them. "Come on, Master, you..."
"Just what the hell is going on?" A stern voice asked and Ranma and Lilith both turned to see Signum, Vita, Shamal and Zafira all at the door, glaring at them, glowing with magical power and all of them had their weapons drawn. "You two... If you are not out of this house in five seconds, we will remove you... Piece by piece."
"...Lilith, time to go." Ranma grabbed Lilith, who nodded and the two disappeared into a corner in the shadow.
Signum closed her eyes. "Shamal, are they still in town?"
Shamal's rings glowed as they detatched from her fingers and formed a circle in front of her. "Yes, near the edge of town."
"Vita, Zafira, you two come with me, Shamal, make sure Hayate is okay. We need to have words with those two."
"Aww!" Hayate launched herself at Signum, hugging her. "No! Please?! No hurting big brother?!" She asked with tears forming in her eyes. "Please?"
Signum felt her eye twitching, it was impossible to deny Hayate when she was doing the puppy dog eyes of her. "Hayate, if they come back any time soon, I will gut them, understood?" Hayate pouted, but nodded. "And pull up your pants!"
"Yeek! When did they get down past my knees?!" Hayate yelped and pulled her pants and underwear up. She then blinked as she realized that she was standing up with no issues. "...My legs are working again?"
"...At least something good came out of this." Vita grumbled as she tried to fight off the irritation she felt from not being able to smash Ranma's head in for trying to do bad things to Hayate.

Just outside of Uminari City...
"Let's go." Ranma told Lilith as the two left the city. "Pops is in the next city over, if we hurry, we can get there by morning."
"So..." Lilith began as she slid on the large backpack that she and Ranma had hidden just outside of the city. "Are we coming back, Master?"
Ranma shouldered his own backpack. "...It might be best to not return unless we need to. Between Arisa and the Volkenritter, I think that it's best if we don't come back unless we have to."
"You mean Wolkenritter." Lilith pointed out, but nodded. "I understand. It's too bad, your sister is super cute and adorable and perfect."
As they left the city, Ranma narrowed his eyes in thought. "Lilith... You weren't... Influencing my little sister were you?"
Lilith's eyes went white and blank. "Well, I don't think I was, but I was so hungry and horny that I probably was putting out an aura strong enough to make the dead get horny, so... Um... Maybe?"
Ranma sighed, at least that made some sense.
As the two walked off, the gears in the distance started to spin as time sped up, returning to the current day.
