Chapter 2: On her own.
Above the clouds: Night
WHOOOOSH!, WHIIIISH!, WHOOOOSH,, WHIIIISH!,
Tohru's wings flapped! Her ash colored appendages flapping through the air as her now dragon jaded body flew and sour through the night sky. Asura on her back legs crossed and eyes everywhere,
"Did I ever tell you that your flying is awesome Tohru!? Cause if not, then your pretty fucking awesome!"
he asked, remembering the same scene awhile back earlier.
"You have and...have not master, but I am more than glad to hear it."
she answered, her snout directing towards their home as the wind gushed over them,
"Amazing work Tohru, you have really out shone yourself on your first day and first greetings. I couldn't be anymore proud of anyone or anything in my life!"
he complemented, happy that she did all this in her 1st day.
"That is...wonderful my master Asura! Oh! We will be also landing upon your apartment top in about...now."
she thanked, and informing him that she was now right above his home and other peoples home, flapping her wings for levitation.
He looks down and smiles,
"Your very much welcome Tohru. Just set us down gently and we'll be on our way tomorrow!"
he said, looking down at the minuscule sized rooftop.
"Understood my master."
she replied. And dropped her body down carefully towards the center space. The wind blowing and shifting all around her body mass and pressure,
"...Although I wonder how she's gonna stay the night?..."
Asura then thought scratching his chin. Pondering as to how she's gonna sleep in there, or with him..
Orborozuka:
Asura's apartment: the bedroom:
"Mph. Uh, what time is it?"
Asura woke up silently. Opening his eyes to the side of the bed, and also to his mattress, desk, and alarm. Reading
12:15 PM, on the clock. His red eyes soon made way as he slowly got up. Rubbing his eyes and looking around him as he felt the warmth of his blanket. His vision perfect, as even in the dark he could still see everything round him. Or, just know or sense that they are there.
"Hm?"
he then spotted something out of place. ...A big lump on the floor with something covering it. He moves a little to the front as he scoots to see what this is. And, what he found, was a person. Laying on the floor with a small mattress and a big green blanket with flowers covering whom.
"Who the hell?"
Asura narrows his eyes, his vision bettering as he sees...the outline of a tail?! He quickly hops up and places his backside by the pillows. Leaning his face and body so he could hear anything coming from said person,
"M-Master...Asura..."
Tohru's voice muttered and whispered slowly. Halting him as he remembers.
"Wait...Tohru? What the hell is she doing there? No, here?!"
he thinks, looking at her tail waving out as she moves an inch. Like a leech in a swamp,
"Mmmmmm, master is so kind...to let me...stay...here..."
she grumbles, still asleep and snoring.
"*Gasp!* Did I let her stay in a mattress?! Why did I do that?"
he wonders. Looking at her with a bit of curiosity. Pausing for a moment, before Tohru...suddenly flipped over and the blanket was removed. Revealing her...sleeping face, all red, silent, and wholesomely adorable you could just coo at her like a baby,
"Master, Asura...mmmmm..."
she smiles slowly. Her tail hastening its wagging by a touch. Asura seeing this, he slowly leans back. Staring at the girl that is and probably ever, going to be his maid...and his irl dragon...his irl, irl dragon maid...
"Hmm, seems...pretty nice and...darn cute though..."
he smirks, his red eyes glowing as he slips back to bed and flips round to his pillows. Laying there as he thinks about this scenario...with her.
As he subconsciously lifts the blanket with his toes, to his chest, then his fingers. Covering himself as he stares at the wall buggy eyed, and listening to the soft sounds of the night, the silent of the room, the essence dark, his bed creaks, the warmth of his bed, and of course the soft snores and whimpers of a Tohru.
As he shuts his eyes with a smile and simple thought,
"...What a delightful day this has been..."
as he went back to slumber.
Asura's apartment: the kitchen
"So, how was the bed Tohru?"
Asura asked, sat down on the couch as he looks at Tohru. As it was about 7:00 with the sky a bright light blue with the sunlight shining through the window...all except Asura's windowless bedroom. Tohru now back in her maid dress and in the kitchen. Cooking up or frying the morning breakfast. With Asura expecting something not deadly nor extremely hazardous...
"W-Well...it was quite a relaxing sensation master. You were so generous as to let me sleep in a mattress with comfort. Although, I am despleased that...I couldn't sleep with you..."
she replied solemnly. Wanting to sleep with her master instead of her lonesome.
"Tohru, don't be upset just because you couldn't be with me. Its not a big deal and its already done and over with."
he replied. Her blushing from embarrassment,
"Oh, you spoil me too much my master. But at least I can make you something of delicacy today."
she chirped, happily showing her bright pink cheeks as she moved towards the other counter.
"Mmhmm."
he muttered, before getting the TV remote and watching the news. Along with a small cup of sake nearby too,
(Residents are to be informed that today should have a high chance of rain. If not then should expect a very cloudy morning, or afternoon.)
(And local neighborhood watch says that "A small group of 4 delinquents, had been found unconscious. But uninjured in an alleyway.". No one says they saw or heard anything of this incident. However, there was a single deck magic card. With, the single diamond found at the scene.)
the broadcast told. Asura then took a sip of sake from the tiny cup. His expression lessening due to the information. Tohru then showed up and walked towards the table.
"Bloody rain, seems like its happening everyday since last Saturday. And that little thing too. Probably something petty or something."
he thought.
Clank!, "Here you go master, I hope you are pleased with this one."
she said, bringing down a metal tray. Filled with a small bowl of steaming egg soup, a tiny Hamberg steak, and finally a nice big yellow omelette garnished with onions and topped off with a huge red saucy heart.
"Oh my freaking god Tohru! How did you make this?!"
Asura exclaimed, turning off the TV and looking bewildered and completely in awe at her sudden culinary skills. With the dish presented cooked to perfection and Tohru only smiling a huge one at his complement. ...And ignoring the word "god" in his sentence,
"Only made them by getting it off of a small little cook book that was in one of your drawers. Used my magic to scan and skim the thing. Next choosing those 3 as starters, which I found to be adequate. And then followed the steps provided, although I did make some adjustments to the meals."
she answered proudly.
"Really? Good damn job for you then Tohru. This is some top level stuff right here!"
Asura commented. Noticing a small set of knifes and forks, and spoons near the dish, all properly placed. Taking one, and he immediately starts to dig in.
"Mmm, i'm glad he's actually enjoying it!"
she thought, as she watched her master dig intoher dish. His little sake going along perfectly with the breakfast.
Later, Asura had finished up. And, Asura had plenty of time to spend at home. Since it was now 7:23 AM and his work starts at around 12, so he had time to share. And, he decided that, he would...spend it on more time with Tohru.
"So Tohru, since i've got plenty a time of spend. I think I should give you a basic rundown on your skills. And perhaps some tips or small advice for when I leave."
he told. With Tohru sat flat on the ground with full attention,
"Mm, understood master, you a very keen. But what exactly do you mean? Do I not have the necessary skillset already?"
she asked, curious as to his words.
"Well, first your uniform should be changed once in a while. It would be bizarre for someone to wear something everyday, and, incase if somebody come or visit here. Secondly, you possibly do...but I need to assess you...just in case..."
he explained. Crossing his black cloth arms, as Tohru started to ponder and then,
"Then that is no problem then. I easily change my "outfit" whenever I want. Like this,"
she said standing up. Before her dress then suddenly started to shade and morph, much to his awe. With the orange bits turning a clean white and her little tie turning into a diamond shaped red tie.
"See?"
she said, with her dress changing again into her usual outfit. However she sprouted her black grey wings along with her clothes.
"Hmm. I see, but still. I'll show you some other maid outfits you could replicate. But you need to focus on them got it?"
he asked tilting his head. Tohru quickly nodding in response,
"Then come. And after we can move on to your other skills."
he said started walking. Grabbing her waist fast as she yelp a tad. With the 2 then walking to her tips.
Skill: Maid dresses:
A little bit later, Asura had gone to get his computer and searched up some pretty, pretty maid dresses. Some with cosplay, others that looked to belong in a Victorian area. To simple maid cafes and even...lewd dresses. (AN: As it was asked by her)
With the dragon maid scanning the images, creating some space, and twisting like Wonder woman to get a perfect match. The first sets being ones such as, Victorian, Classical, Japanese style, and Chinese.
Next, were the more...outlandish ones, like, Military, Steampunk, Cyber, Miniskirt, French, and finally...Swimsuit... All normal, until Asura wanted to test out more colors.
"And how about showing some color in those pretty things!"
he said. With Tohru did not tire from this exercise, but simply obeyed command. She even got...aroused with the lat few. And interested and fascinated with the "out of place" ones.
"This is also something ya should wear. Something normal and fits you."
Asura said, clicking off of his device and turning to a Tohru,
"Hm, like what kind of wear?"
she asked, dressed in now her new classical maid outfit with her "accessories."
Asura brainstormed for a second, before sparking an idea that could work.
"Something like this, alright first,"
he told. Getting her to follow his instructions as to her new look, with the outcome being pretty average.
A simple long sleeved pink V shaped shirt with a white loose undershirt. A pair of bite sized pants and a simple white skirt. Along with a few bracelets and a necklace provided by him. Keeping the horns in place but the tail and wings hidden.
"Ah! Thank you so my lord! This is simply perfect, I would never have imagined this for me, let alone my body structure, you are too kind!"
she twirled around. Having a full view of her and his, new wardrobe,
"No problem, all I had to do is figure out your body shape. How it would fit you. And how color played a part in it too. But, you simply just probably figured it to suit your own."
he welcomed, taking a good while look at her too.
She giggled and blushed in pure delight...which turned into lust,
"Ehehehe...Master Asura, would you even like a sacrifice for me? A taste of my blood or...something far more excessive..."
she lusted. Blushing bright fucking hot as she revealed her tail and lifted her shirt. And also scrunching her sleeve up with her tongue sticking out like snake.
"WHAT NO! What am I? A demon spawn from the pit of hell!"
he objected. His appearance hardening with a mean red glare and his hair turning cartoonishly spiky black,
"Although I ain't no real human either.."
his subconsciously thought.
"No, no, no, no! You are practically a divine god yourself master! But I highly object you fighting in his name though. Bastard..."
she denied,
"Is the actual lord himself actually that bad? How the fuck does that even work?"
he severely questioned,
"Uh... Okay lets just go do some laundry then..."
he said. Commanding her to follow him. As she did, her...rage dialing down as she transformed back to her normal outfit.
Skill: Laundry duty: (8:46)
"Okay, so Tohru. How do you wash the laundry?!"
he demanded. The 2 face front in a pile of dirty clothes with the baskets, dryers, and open laundry room right next to them.
"Well, first I use my clairvoyance to scout out any trinkets or objects you've left behind. And if after, remove them with magic."
she said, demonstrated by doing it with a emerald green hue in her eyes,
"I then fold and place them by color separate from another."
she said picking them up, walking in. And then walking to the laundry baskets and folded them with a flick of her wrist. The piles levitated themselves and folded, preceded by tossing em neatly in sets of baskets.
"Nice, nice."
Asura thought,
"Next I find the right waste detergents with magic and find just the right kind. And depending on the amount of cleanliness, dry, and pace. I find one, or mix multiple to make an efficient wash."
she explained. Grabbing a bunch of containers in the cabinets above the machines. She poured an amount of 2, in a cup, mixing them. The percentage being rather small or medium.
"So they sully their clothes with waste materials too. Heheheheehehe, such a inferior species. Lucky my master's not one of these insects."
she thought laughing.
"Good... good..."
"And finally, I put them into the cleaners and put them alongside the detergent! Easy!"
she said, pouring them in the 2 contraptions. With the liquids tossed in too. As she then used her magic levitation, sealed the lid and turned the right switch.
Crk!, Crk!, Crk!, Crk!, Crk!, Crk!, rumbled them. Asura looking very, very impressed with her work. Started clapping just as she finished, smiling at her greatly.
"Absolutely astounding Tohru, you've successfully cleaned the clothes properly! And even added a ping right amount of magic in there too!"
he cheered for her. Grabbing her by the waist...and squeezing her by the waist!
"H-H-He's hugging me so tight! I must've truly done w-well to receive this b-blessing!"
she flushed uncontrollably red. Her primal urges telling her that her "mate master" was getting INTIMATE WITH HER.
"Oh I am so proud of ya girl! Ya did absolutely fabulous! But, now we have to see if you can properly hang em. Which i'm more than sure you can now. But in the meantime, why don't we get make sure you can also clean as well."
he winked, letting go and expressing a very content happy look,
"Mmmmmmmhmmmmmhmmmm!"
she forcefully kept her squeal in as she blushed and blazed with SO, SO, SO, SO much joy and happiness.
Skill: Cleaning the home:
While the 2 were waiting for Tohru's finish. Asura had brought out the same cleaning supplies from last night. All with a new towel and a bode of confidence in both of them, that Tohru could accomplish her failed session,
"Okay, you know the drill. BUT, this time...i'm not letting you clean the walls or anything like that, NO. I'm gonna see how you handle cleaning my...COLLECTION!"
he tells. Directing towards the amount of stuff that were all, ninja-based, items, furniture, and more. The living room was full of the stuff with 2 ancient Chinese vases. A little glass display of a Aragami and shinobi items. And a whole bunch of other figures and body wear.
"U-U-Uh u-understood master A-Asura, b-b-but I was terrible at this last night and, and, and, and—"
she muttered, before he shut her up and looked at her with a...good judging look,
"Hey... You, can, do, this, Tohru. All it has to take is a little faith in yourself, courage, and a lot of inner and outer patience for this." he told her.
She nodded in return, getting the tools slowly and then breathing in and out. Ready not to mess up THIS bit. And actually clean the grease dust covered shit that stained his collection. And...perhaps, even utilize some magic, along this mop up.
With Asura decided to leave outside and let her do her own thing.
40 minutes later:
"Done!"
Tohru shouted from within! Catching Asura away from his phone and his small bottle of sake. Rushing in fast to see her result.
Creak, went the front door. As Asura instantly rushed over to Tohru, standing next to a vase. Smiling wide and blushing as the tools were laying in the ground with...it being almost...unused...
"So what did you do?!"
he asked, looking around, a tiny bit scared to see. But also having a great sense of "She can do this, yeah!" in him. And, as he did look around, he, not only spotted that. The collection he has was...completely and utterly spotless! The items to the pottery were extremely shiny and smooth like. With even the while room appearing shiny and sparkling! Everything seemed like brand spanking new with even the floor boards, if you look at em, reflected his freaking shadow!
"Well, I first cleaned all the objects that was in EVERY room. Using the tools given, and a hint of magic, gave them a quite long lasting shine. But then, I decided to clean the entire home! Granted now, I did use magic for this, cautionary mind you. And mixing air and wind magic, with alchemy. This entire abode has been granted a long lasting "permanent" state of cleanliness. I even set up teleportation barriers on the floor and within walls to prevent insects or rodents to mess this up. Not even the smallest of dust mites or specks of dirt can step foot without being completely eradicated."
she explained,
"And, best of all. I even washed the bathroom spotless WITH the tools IN there. So I did THAT, all by myself. And, perhaps, maybe, a little scrunch of water magic too."
Tohru finished with the upmost pride. Extremely content and satisfied with herself and her handy work. Asura heard this and had his jaw, nearly, dropped,
"Wow. Hot dang! That is good work! Total control over every scenario, magical usage to a most efficient degree, and most of all... You made it without a SINGLE mishap!"
he congratulated her. Showering her with applause and uproar, her, blushing maddening with a silent but VERY, VERY shaking bod.
As she, then, cried silently. Her eyes slightly trickling up with tears Asura patting her on the back and shoulder for her accomplishment. Even then going so far as to comb up her hair..
"W-Wow..."
she thought. As the 50 year old evolved pat her head and praised for a good long while.
Before departing towards the finish.
Skill: Laundry finish: (11:34)
Ding!, the machine stopped, Tohru, after some comforting, quickly picking and putting the clothes out. Then, heading out, the 2 went with her leading and him following.
"Alright Tohru, lets finish this off with the hanging up K?"
he asked, now CONFIDENT that she could pull this off and impress him. Her face flushed with a bright red smile as she easily carried 2 basket full of wet pants, shirts and underwear like a female bodybuilder. Nearing the ledge as she looks on to the city, and mostly the clothe lines.
"Mmhmm! Just leave it to me master. Watch this!"
she exclaimed! Dropping the baskets on the floor and instantly using her superhuman speed to immediately hang up the moist coverings! A blur of color and wind swirling as she left clothes lined up and straightened up. Everything going real freaking smooth,
"Jesus that is just..."
he droned, amazed by her technique, skill. Tohru finishing up with a stop and a twirl. Everything hanged up and drying...except,
"...Wait a minute, didn't the news show that today was gonna be rainy, or at least cumulus? Oh...well shit"
he thought, looking up at the...sunny skies. But, there were little bits and bunches of forming and moving clouds grey and dark light.
"HowdidIdomasterAsura?!"
Tohru sped towards him and rapidly asked. Shaking with impatience for an answer,
"AMAZING TOHRU! You've really outdid yourself this time!"
he nervously congratulated. Giving her a weeny pat on the head and ruffling it a tad.
"Mmmmmmm." she purred like a cat.
With the shot panning out from the balcony.
"Hmmm, Its nearly time to go. Heh, guess she's on her own from here."
he thought in the back of his mind.
(11:54)
It was about time to go to work. Asura had started preparing, Tohru switched to her normal civilian outfit. Asura switching also a plain small leather jacket and nice undershirt underneath. Including also a set of tanned green long pants and a buttoned white shirt with a small keychain filled with little wooden chips.
"Alright ready to kick some management ass."
he said. Walking out of his room with a tiny black red flash drive. And a small little compact luggage bag filled with papers. Tohru on the side of the hall as she watched and waited, her big green swinging like a dove,
"Are you prepared for leaving master?"
she asked,
"Yup, just got finished here. Which also reminds me,"
he told. Heading to the door as she followed right behind.
"About right now, when I leave. You're gonna have to do everything on your own from here on out, on your own. So, I recommend studying on other or hygiene's of maid lessons, skills, techniques etc, on the net. And you might need to learn communication to humans too, since I won't be able to reach ya from over there."
he said, getting his shoes and putting them on. A nice set of white socks and a pair of nike esc black and grey shoes,
"So I expect you to exceed all presentations and expectations, even more than you already have. Hell, you can even use some of you magic powers. But, only of you use them properly."
he continued. Getting his keys out and opening his locks. Before closing em when he opened.
"And thats...basically all I have to say. Understood Tohru?"
Creak, he asked, opening the door and letting the light in. Looking at her with his red eyes and black shimmering hair,
"...U-U-Understood master Asura, I shall present with upmost efficiency. Do not fret, and, be careful of that stultu-I mean human! While you are at work."
she stuttered, bowing before sending him off.
"Hmm, so cute."
he chuckled,
"Bye then. Good luck!"
he shouted.
Wham!, And bolted through the door and into the staircase! Shutting the door and letting all the locks get into place.
"Safe travels sir!"
she waved goodbye,
Leaving the daughter of demise on her own and alone with his apartment.
"Hmmph!, I can do this! I just accomplished multiple tasks! This is no challenge for me and my power!"
she marched with pride and confidence.
Later
"So.. the internet. The same thing showed on his magic device. This should be a breeze!"
she said, holding the laptop in-front of her as she sat down at the couches. And as she's already seen the minutes and minutes of acts taken by her master. She had grasped the basics of the web and how to search up stuff on search engines. (AN: Also new tabs cause she was curious.) However the more complicated and sophisticated stuff...yeah not at all..
"What kind of maid techniques should a maid have or get?"
she said, typing in and clicking. Using a Japanese language version of google.
And what she clicked, was a link to a website informing anybody on how excel as a maid called,
40 Fabulous Tips On Skills In Maid-hood.
And scrolling down revealing a bunch of links, forums, and information regarding those tips. Such as one like basic menial cleaning methods, tools, accessories, and etc.
"By my father this species is impressive in its technological achievements! What a truly independent race!"
she exclaimed on this.
Moving towards much more complicated tasks such as,
1. Actions taken in/at events/parties.
2. Pace and swiftness of precision.
3. body building and muscle increase.
4. Tools and proper equipment needed
5. Maid lessons in high standard baking and cooking.
and etc, and etc.
"These humans are quite versatile in professionalism. Better jot this down in my memory."
she said in intrigue. Getting quite a kick outta this.
And, all of this as taking for at least a couple of minutes. Tohru decided to click on another new tab. And clicking the search tab with the title,
Any other maid dresses or needs required.
Clicking and opening to the search recommendations. Clicking on a link for the subject at hand, opening it up to see a ton of forums and adds pooping to the side a little. While the middle showed a ton of different designs and colorations of maid outfits and dresses and accessories. Some were even from an anime series and some didn't seem like maid outfits at all! Including ones that were in pop culture, games, and even visual novels.
"Impressive clothing sets."
she said, scrolling down and storing anything in her vault. Before minutes later backing out and clicking the image section, showing a whole gag bunch of well adorned women in dresses and outfits. Outfits themselves showing as well too.
As Tohru then got up and started pacing around the home. Taking the laptop with her as she, without looking, never bumped into anything valuable and seemed to be aware of her surroundings.
"I could ask some assistance in this after i'm done."
she thought, glancing at everything then at the screen.
A while later, the dragon maid had finished up her searching. Shutting down the device and testing out the various outfits and colors that she looked up. Taking her at least 50 or more minutes. Including other normal clothes she randomly pulled. As well as scanning the rooms and apartment in order to get a better grasp on what kinda...style or feel she could/should be working with.
Now, she was gonna get some tips on certain activities, from her friends and comrades..."comrades",
"Now, I believe I can call someone by magic. But I should be careful just in case."
she said, wearing a flame red fire hot swimsuit maid outfit in the open. Letting the air conditioning breeze by her...skin...
"Really wish master could see me like this. I even colored it my own red blood!"
the back of her mind said.
As she moved around and contemplated. She then stopped, and raised her hand to create a medium sized grey light magic circle. She then pushed her hand against it. And it suddenly spread out into smaller and tinier circles. Each one having different symbols or runes on em. As Tohru stood ideally by it and paused for a brief moment,
"Maybe Fafnir could help in this situation."
Tohru thought nearing the floating circles,
Fafnir's suggestion:
"Kill them all and him to—!"
"Eep! Nope not gonna help!"
Tohru hanged up! Fafnir's dark voice getting immediately rejected and shut the fuck down.
Tohru sweating from his bold and cold statement as she looked up...another benefit,
"Well perhaps Quetzalcoatl could help. She's a knowledgeable dragon like figure..."
Tohru decided, the circle glowing translucent.
Lucoa's suggestion:
"Hey, Lucoa how are you doing?"
Tohru rang. Speaking into the magic circles as they transcend space and dimensions to call somebody,
"Tohru? Oh my goddesses its been like an eternity girl!"
Lucoa spoke up. Her accent like a lazy slutty but generally nice valley girl. Tohru still in her revealing swimsuit btw.
"Yeah its me so i've got a problem for you,"
Tohru explained. As she mumbled everything to her distant friend.
. . . . . .
"And thats about everything I got. I know it sounds like the most insane act ever but—."
Tohru finished. As a while had passed before she was done with her story. Lucoa keeping silent or just murmuring "Okay" for over minutes and minutes and minutes of chit chat.
"Oh, doesn't seem that bad then. Alrighty I think...I have an advice for ya Tohru."
Lucoa replied, her laid back tone still present but a small droplet of attention was raised. Tohru surprised at her still nonchalant attitude towards her situation, her life choice actually!
"Wow. Not the reaction I thought I was gonna get. Huh...guess she's not...surprised?"
she pondered.
"Well, first of all, do you remember what that Needhog did to the world tree?"
she asked, Tohru raising an eyebrow to this subject,
"Um, the one that poisoned the roots of the Yggdrasil? Well, yeah kinda, but I didn't see or even heard of it since like...3 or 4 centuries ago?"
she responded, a bit confused. But still going along with it.
"The world tree correct, surprised you know. But anyways, no matter how much he bites the thing. The gods and goddesses always always come around to purify it. Despite the poison that seeps through the bark and roots."
she explained. Tohru knowing this information, but...kinda confused and interested in how this relates,
"Well I think that this Mr. Asura Mercer guy is talking something about similar to that."
she finished. Tohru only staring at the 6 translucent glowing silver circles in an expression that read,
"Whaaaaaaat is she talking about? That...is very...uhhhhhhh. How in the world does that relate to ANYTHING!?"
she thought with a upward "Uh" face and a REALLY confused eyebrow. She then shook her head before raising her hand in order to cut communication.
"Tohru...do you...like living with the humans? Especially that...Asura Mercer guy? He seems...kinda..odd from what you told me about him."
Quetzalcoatl asked, as she was genuinely curious as to how and why she chose her now new life decision/goal,
"Um...yeah, I do Lucoa. You should see him he's amazing and has this very...odd feel around him. And! He's VERY not human! Like...he's kinda like a hidden god amongst men."
she excitingly responded. Thinking back to everything he dd and not to mention the crazy stunts he pulled and survived.
"Mmhmm. Yeah sounds like a real hoot of a human Tohru. Hehehehe."
she chuckled lightly. Clearly not believing her and calling a real big bluff,
"Don't laugh i'm serious, he's NOT a normal man Lucoa!"
Tohru blushed, trying to make her understand as the circle grew a bit more bright. The dragon only slightly giggling at her reaction.
"Alright Tohru see you when."
she cut off. Leaving the magic circles and Tohru back on their own. Tohru calming down as she breathes, looking at the circles and crossing her arms,
"I really wish Kanna was there. Then I could possibly get someone else's help. But she's not even there. And I haven't seen her since a long time ago..."
she glumly thought, sighing before looking at the communications circles.
Then, raising her arm, she made the thing contract and disappear as she then walked over to Asura's door.
"Maybe a cushion on his bed should help relieve me of my stress..."
she shut the door. Her tail wagging behind and noise of a pushed mattress came from within.
Later:
It has been about a good while few minutes. Tohru coming back from her slumber nap in Mercers own bed and bed sheets. With the dragon maid still in her swim wear red maid outfit. And she then changed it back to her normal orange one. Shutting the doorway behind her as she stretched and cracked her limbs. Yawning a big one as she started to walk.
"Uuuugh!, Alright what to do, what to do...oh I know! Master Asura's laundry, they should be clean and dry by now!"
she thought in realization. Heading towards the balcony as she spotted the closed door and the outlines of stiff frames of still hanging clothes. Getting nearer as she opened the door with her gloves.
Whoosh!, the open air blew! Tohru cheerfully smiling as she saw the dried laundry... Which were not dry...but still soggy and wet. Actually, they were more wet. From the droplets of rain that were starting to fall and waist the time!
"WHAT!?"
she immediately shrieked! Looking around at a bunch of pottery and tools. To the sky, which was now a really dark grey color with the rain starting to trickle down and on her, the balcony, and the laundry,
"No, nonononononono they're completely and utterly ruined!"
she cried, looking hopeless at the still and now getting dirty clothes. As all the time spent learning was, all this time, wasted to nothing as she stared hopelessly at her failure.
She for a moment pause as she felt the rain hit her outfit...and actual body...
"Oh wait a minute! I can just blow away these troublesome moronic rain clouds! Hah!"
she realized!
WHOOP!, and instantly leaped up and away from the balcony ledge and did a front flip. Using her speed, she strength, and stamina to make way up the top of the roof of the whole complex. Her figure standing proudly as she looked up happily at the rain clouds,
"Witness my full power you worthless meaningless clouds of rain! Feel my power as a roar!"
she roared up! A red magic circle suddenly appearing as her body once again glowed a blinding white light. As she grew once more in size with her dragon frame and figure thankfully covered the roof.
Lifting her head up, she steadily opened her maw of a jaw. And raised her mouth to the sky. Her eyes slit, her scales glow green, and her maw started generating a small condensed ball of white hot energy, before changing to a light green. Then building up INTENSELY, as it cracks and sparked with reality felting power and energy. Before,
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!, a huge, HUGE wide energy shot boomed the grey skies! And tore a GAPING HOLE IN THE SKIES! With a rumble from the amount of firepower.
Asura's workplace: A few minutes earlier:
"So, hows Tohru doing Abraham?"
Takiya asked. The 2 men at a vending machine as Takiya stood there with a cup of coffee. And Asura was laying on the wall with a stern look and a little cup of ramen instant noodles. Besides the 3, they were set in a hallway with a bunch a reinforced glass windows everywhere, with exits and doors and stairs nearby too.
"She's fine, just got done showing her some steps. She should be at my apartment."
he looked down at the still covered bowl. The heat of the cup not affecting him in the slightest.
"Amazing that you have a heat tolerance dude. And a freaking alcohol one too! You don't even seem tired after like nearly and hour and half, or two, hours of working and typing. You even have the tolerance of patience to men like our boss. Its no wonder why you lasted for so long! And now a maid too man?"
Takiya trailed off, clearly bewildered at his co-workers health. Taking a sip of his coffee,
"No need to grovel man. You don't even know what I did BEFORE I went to Japan about a few years ago."
he looked at him. Before getting back and tearing open the cover top. But not too much though, as he picked a little wrapped up chopsticks from his pants pocket. And started slurping and chowing down on a veggie, cake fish, and ham instant ramen.
"Hehe, yeah dude, some pretty stuff. But we need to go back to work soon or else our boss will kill us."
the salary man looked up at the ceiling. Then looking down at his clean black shoes with a sigh,
"Stupid that guy is, doesn't know how to shut up and calm down. ...Although, he isn't really and truly at fault for his attitude. Its those cooperate arrogant snobs that keep that kinda stress going..."
Mercer slurped his noodles, glaring at a wall with such intent. The deliciousness of the noodles lessening his anger as he swallowed the soup.
"Yes but you seem to be in a tight situation with them lately and like I said last night. Its gonna put you in some hot water soon, despite your contributions to the jo—!"
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!, Tohru's blast tore the sky apart! The clouds parting the fuck away as a roar opened the sky with the rain and clouds gone, and a bright new sunny day was all that was left. Takiya dropping his mouth as he trailed off and staring at what just happened.
Asura was in awe to, trying his hardest not to spit-take or drop hot and wet udon with soup! His body shaking as her felt that effect and cause to his bones. However his shock was lessened as he only held the chopsticks and cups, while his red eyes froze at the blast or white green hot energy. However, to the others, and Takiya, all THEY saw was just the clouds dissipating at a very high speed,
"Godamn it all Tohru, but holy shit that is some terrifying power..."
he thought glumly, recalling back to his...previous 10 years...
As others swarmed to see what the hell was that, as well as everybody else.
On the streets:
WHOOSH!, WHOOSH!, Back outside, the view of the event was seen by all and felt by all. Every man, kid, woman, and baby all staring at the giant the gape dissipating cloud hole. Everyone murmuring with friends and strangers of a giant gape suddenly appearing. The sunlight hitting them as all around them, everyone chatted and stared.
However...one particular, oddly dressed little girl didn't seem fazed by the thing. Only keeping silent as she paid attention to the POWER of the feat... And...who and what could've done it,
"I know that power and strength... Thats Ms. Tohru's energy..."
a little monotone squeaky and cute girl thought, feeling the vibrations AND seeing the beam of magic energy. Sensing Tohru...and started to step and walk away.
"S-S-She's here...that means...that means..."
she trailed off. Before bolting away with "lightning", fast speed. Her white covered stockings and feet taking off as we see a flash of bright pink and white.
Across worlds and dimensions:
*Rumble*
"Hmmmm, what was that? That sounded like...felt like...Tohru..."
a old and husky gravely voice raised and eyebrow. His figure and body hidden by a dark and red surrounding. The old man was not from the world of Earth...instead..of Tohru's home world...
"What?..."
his voice's ire slowly tumbled, the space he resided in then began to rumble and shake. As pieces of rock and dirt began to fall and shake.
As now a flicker of evil despairing inducing light and dark lavender power began to flow from his voice...
*Shake*
"Hmmmm?"
a slumbering young toned voice grumbled, it was the voice of Fafnir's! He then slightly shifted his body. And as he did, a ton of little coin like noises were heard. The surrounding place was also dark and pitch black. However, subtle noises were here and there, like a large cave or cavern,
"Whats she up to now?"
he growled. Shutting his red gleaming eyes, like Asura...but a bit less aggressive. As he went back to sleep with silent snores.
In the vast skies of the infinite land. A HUGE serpent like creature soared through the skies! Its scales the size of houses! And even a Tohru's dragon from would be tiny, and a human would be speck of a dimple! Green and golden in color, white and golden green fur covering it like if a blue whale had whiskers,
"Wonder what she's even doing with that guy...and the human world?"
it spoke, and it was LUCOA'S! The massive snake like dragon was Quetzalcoatl! Her massive scaly body hidden from view as her mass was just too far large. However, she did slither the skies like a giant anaconda snake. The clouds swaying here and there to her shape and body.
*GOOOOOOOON!*
"Hmmm!? What was? Was that? ...Was that Tohru!? That felt like Tohru's roar! No, power! What is she doing!?"
she stopped, her still hidden head shifted below. As she had gelt what the others did, and was very in awe,
"And that roar came from...the human world! Is she really down there. Is she actually some mans actual slave!? And that roar, that went throughout time and space!"
she thought, trying to process what is going on with her friend.
Someplace in the other world. A LARGE LOOKING TEMPLE STOOD ABOVE THE SKIES AND SURFACE BELOW. The stars themselves even visible as a dark and bright starry view. The size of the temple was ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE IN SIZE! You could fit about 1000 elephants in here and they would be like freaking HUMAN SIZED!
As the panning screens to see a huge hallway with spires and columns holding up the ceiling. With everything, and EVERYTHING, decorated with Japanese art, culture, divine heavenly creatures, and everything carved and smoothed out to utter, UTTER, UTTER, perfection. As many certain horned individuals, were walking in lines like a crowd and all were dressed in garments that quite frankly screamed out. GOLD, GOODIE GOODIE, RAINBOWS, GOD AND DIVINITY AND STAFFS AND OTHER WEAR BODY WEAR, WOOOOOOOO!
*BZZT!*
"NANI!?"
cried out the thoughts of a select hundreds. As they have sensed something turned to the columns that revealed the majestic sky and heavenly stars. One in particular, was a female. And wielding a 3 trident point wooden staff, with a bunch of jewelry wear attached to it. Her outfit was bright gold with highlights of blue, purple and green. Her hair short, black, and tipped with blue and lavender. As well as a little wiggly worn on her forehead too,
"Kami's beard what was that!? That was a roar of a chaos dragon!"
someone called out! And as soon as a snap. Everyone began murmuring as they had now sensed the power and presence of a chaos dragon! And it sounded like...it came from...another world?!
"A...chaos...dragon? In the human world? But why would—."
the young woman spoke in a soft and shy tone. Her broght blue eyes blinking towards the light blue sky as she had felt what no one else did...familiar,
"...Tohru..."
she said,
"HUUUUUGHHHH!"
everyone gasped! Hearing her and then exceedingly talking to one another. As that name was the daughter of demise! The end bringer! Every harmony dragons worse fears and nightmares come to life!
"Tohru..."
she thought staringly."
"In the name of Odin's beard what was that power!?"
a young girls voice cried! Her tone sounding much like a...16 or 15 year old middle aged young lady.
As the we transition to...a place beyond our realm. A etherial mystical, mythical one. With the entire space being great golden and a touch of orange red her and there. As this was a more...heavenly part of the dimensions.
Whoosh!, as another gigantic snake like dragon slithered! Its appearance akin to Lucoa's. But...it was much...shorter than the laid back dragon. It was still huge, but...slightly less than the serpent 2 sections ago. And, it wasn't the same color pattern. For it, or she, had streaks of red, gold and ORANGE, attached to her. With a hint of green, yellow and black too. She had fur covering her body too, though they were more...wispy like.
Although...the one thing that stood out from all the rest. Was that...this dragon...had armor! Golden yellow plates of armor and metal! Lines and curves across every piece of metal and gold! Tiny amulets and jewels decorating it like some sort pf divine entity. Its moving tail visible while its others are not. The armor stretching across miles of kilometers. As this dragons size was like...nearly the length of the 3rd highest mountain in the world...or 4th.
"That sudden roar was from the chaos dragons lord!"
she exclaimed in a...royal hearty tone,
"The daughter of demise!" she called out! Her body slithering making ripples in the dimensional space she was in.
"What kind of sorcery was that!?"
she cried! Reeeaaalll, fucking confused as to what was just felt. As she looked down to the bottom of her residence,
"...Does...she know about this?"
she thought, totally referring to someone of relevance. As she continued to look down below herself.
Orborozuka
Asura's apartment: The balcony:
"There we go, good as gone! But...I probably should've watched my power. Got a little too carried away, hehe."
Tohru jumped from the rooftop. Her human form back, as she floated, flapping down with her black wings. Landing on the balcony as she took a look at the clothes, and her handiwork of obliterating the entire sky that covered the city...
"HA! Success and victory to me! Take that you dumb worthless rain clouds."
she laughed, walking away with a bright cherry smile on her face. As she puts her hands behind her head in contentment,
"Hmhmhmhm. Master Asura should be so proud! And even if I did use my powers. No one saw it, only other magical beings are allowed a glimpse at my power. That and my glorious master of course."
she told herself. Shutting the door with her tail as she walked into the living room.
"Hmmmm? What to do, what to do? Huh! I got it, why not use those tips I found! They would be a great assistance to my endeavor to please my master!"
she grinned, skipping on down to the cleaning supplies.
And prepared to utilize her new found abilities and skills. ...On an apartment which was already waxy, waxy sheen...
8:00
Later that afternoon:
Wham!, "Tohru! Where are you at?! I need to talk to you dragon maid!"
Asura opened the door! Glaring his red eyes at the room and searching for her as he frustratingly takes off his shoes and leaves only his work clothes behind.
"Right over here master! I'm just finishing dusting off your collectibles!"
she cheerily chirped from a hall. Asura then started to march right on down to her as his feet unbeknown, tramples the floorboards and creates creaks and cracks on the wood. Until, he stopped himself...and calmed down,
"Hooooh, okay, okay, just calm down. No need to frighten her and no need to get so worked up about it. Just talk to her normally and hope everything works out..."
he thought. Now trying to keep his cool and began walking normally over to her. And, right when he turned a corner, he spotted her dusting off 1 of his vases with a...dusting tool. And...wearing a...Re:zero esc pink looking maid outfit!?
"Tohru! Get over here please."
he called. She raised her head and twisted, turning over to him and gasping. "Huh!" before hastening right over to him and stood at attention, with her dusting pan held in her hand,
"Yes master Asura what do you need of me?!"
she saluted out a nowhere. Asura looking at her weirdly.
"Can we talk on the couch please?"
he said calm, but sternly. Turning back and gesturing for her to follow. She immediately responded with a rapid nod. And quickly swept over to the living room and plat her butt straight down on the cushions.
"*Sigh* Dragon maids..."
Asura only sighing as he knew what was about to be said.
"So why did you use your powers on the rain clouds bloody damn openly Tohru? I know it was you because it came from this location. And, your the only one who can even DO such a feat. And don't say it wasn't, that would be an obvious lie."
Mercer asked strictly. Glaring at her disappointingly with gleaming eyes. The 2 were sat together with Tohru on the right and Asura on the left.
"S-S-Sorry about it, I didn't heed my mistake... And i'm not gonna lie and say it wasn't me... I'm so, so very sorry Asura! ...But, no one saw it and no one knew! And if someone did, it would have been something of magical prowess! And I cleared the sky for you, no, for everyone master!"
she tried to defend herself. A flushing face as she felt extreme shame and guilt for not considering this scenario for at least a micro-second!
"*Sigh* Why did you do that anyways?"
he leans back in the couch. The soft cushion relaxing his body as he cracks his neck for relaxation,
"Oh. Too help clean your laundry."
she said calmly. Looking at him with her slitted eyes.
His eyes opened wide as she said that. Coming up and looking at her with a face of total disbelief. Tohru responding with a soft whimper and a held back movement. An alarm going off her head that she said did something real fucking BAD,
"W-What...did you just say?..."
he leaned in, raising a brow with a dangerous but curious glare. Looking at her while she scooted the F away and into the other end of the cushions. Looking at him with a terrified face.
"I-I-I-I...did it...because...of...your laundry... And...the clouds...were in...the way..." she shut her eyes. Waiting for something that would send her tumbling to the depths of the day underworld and leave her begging for mercy and forgiveness. As Asura held back, before...he fumed...
"WHAAATTT! What made you think that any of that could be a good idea!? Local news channels would report this. Officials could get involved, and people will question that kinda info! You just drew in SO MANY ATTENTION, that might concern us and others!"
he yelled, extremely worried on those multiple occasions. As he thought he would be done with that kinda government officials crap. Red eyes gleaming like a great death bringing demon from hell itself.
His face snarling with even...tiny veins were showing on the edges of his eyes!? As he kinda tore the fabric of the couch with his bare fingernails, as he bared teeth like fangs to Tohru. The daughter of demise cowering before him like a little girl.
"I-I-I'm sorry! I was solely mistaken and I deserve punishment for my ignorant action! Forgive me master please, please!?"
she gets on her knees. Devastated that he was worrying so much about what she did. Asura only looking at this with a disheartened expression. Sighing, before pulling her up with an arm.
"Don't be sorry, be better. And, don't worry that badly, we probably won't even meet those officials anyways. But...please...don't so that again, unless I say so...or its an emergency..."
he reeled in his anger. His face pulling back as he turns back to normal. Straightening his clothes as he looks forward to his apartment. His attention was drawn at what he saw,
"Wait. Hold on...is it...still...clean?"
he thought, raising a brow as he saw his entire apartment completely spotless. As in the shape that she cleaned it in earlier...it hadn't been changed...like...at all. The walls and floorboard were still dustless and shiny, the items and artifacts of his Shino-bi collection were still totally pristine, and, when taking a gander at his feet. He noticed no amount of dust or dirt on it whatsoever...
"I know she said dust and grime would be completely eradicated. But I didn't think she was actually serious bout that!"
he thought, his ire and held-back anger sizzling down. As Tohru was still on her knees and mumbling things to herself that kept herself hidden away from him.
He looked at her and told,
"Get up my dragon maid. We still got to finish up the day."
he smiled at her. Standing up and walking while taking off his coat and hanging it on a sofa. Leaving only his buttoned tie shirt, and Tohru looking up with tears in her eyes and a awesome look.
"So, so, so what are you...we gonna do?"
she asked, confused to what he's doing. Getting up and following his command. Asura turning his head as he responds,
"I'm gonna go take a shower and your gonna prepare dinner. Ya got that Tohru?"
he asked, Tohru wiping the trickles from her eyes and stared at him with great confusion.
"U-U-Um...yes master..."
she replied. Starting to strode to the kitchen as she looks on in a mix of stiff confusion and a tad bit of sadness, in her pupils,
"Oh, and also,"
he continued, Tohru stopped to listen, wide eyed and pink eyed.
"I forgive you...dragon maid."
he smirked. Winking at her, before heading off, turning the corner and heading to his bathroom. Tohru now staring slack jawed, buggy eyed at him,
Slap!,
"Snap out of it! He just forage you now!"
she thought, snapping herself out of her daze and spun her head! Refocusing her focus and drawing over to the kitchen ingredients and utensils with a redetermined face.
Marching forwards in her Rem and Ram outfit.
Much later: Asura's bedroom:
So after Asura had been done showering and bathing himself all nice and clean. The evolved stepped out and into the living room. To see Tohru, cooking up a hot fresh meal consisting of rice, veggies, beef, fish, tiny steamed buns, wieners, gyosa, and some miso soup. He kindly ingested them with a light burp. He suggested she should try some, but she had already eaten her tail 5 minutes ago. As exampled by the large bon on the plate full of sauce and maybe poison. So she was set for her stomach.
"So...where do you want to sleep tonight?"
he said. And now the pair had finished up with the dishes in the sink. And Asura in his room and in his sheets. Problem was...Tohru didn't have an actual place to sleep...
"I can just sleep on the mattress you gave me! Or the coach, or the sofa, or even on the floor completely naked!"
she cheerfully inclined. Now sporting a long flaming orange T-shirt with pink panties, showing in fully view of her boobs and thighs. As well as her hair was let completely down to her waist, and her horns and black wings were put too,
"No, no, no, you're not gonna sleep on the floor. Let alone in the fucking nude. ...Hmmmm...Oh I know! You can just sleep with me!"
he concluded happily. And instantly turned over to the right side as the left was completely open for her.
"What!? No! I don't deserve i—"
she was shushed,
"Shut up...and listen to me..."
he placed 2 fingers on her mouth, immediately making her flush.
"You've proven yourself on all occasions that this could work with all the dragon maid stuff. Not only that, but YOU'VE that you can do this with or without me. And plus, we've together made a pact that basically defies all common sense since two days ago. So, out of anyone...well..anyone I know...you deserve this. So please...get in the bunk, alright?"
"And besides, it ISN'T a bad thing. NOT, AT, ALL, TOHRU."
he says, taking his hand off and seeing her reaction.
"..."
she was completely silent. Safe for a few sniffs, tiny yelps, and overall a mild reaction. She still had a blushed face that turned her into a fire breathing tomato. And her horns were comedically puffing pit steam like Harry Potter, getting even more flushed as her body visibly shook even worse than before. And keeping her, no doubt, conflicting thoughts to her own.
A momentary pause occurred before she spoke,
"...Yes."
she simply said. Keeping her blush and fidgeting to a minimum, as she strides over to the other side and cautiously gets on the cushion. And SLOWLY made her way down as she laid uncomfortably, comfortably well. Raising the blanket, she carefully covers herself as her wings were smushed under her back, and tucked in surprisingly smoothly and painlessly.
Tucking herself in, she covers her entire face as one side has been hidden with a big lump of dragon maid. Asura was staring at her, waiting before he made his way as well. Tucking himself in rather quickly and laying on his side towards facing his desk.
"Oops, forgot to turn off the lights."
he thought,
flick, as Tohru magically went. Darkness filling the room instantly. As Asura shut his eyes and not trying to mind Tohru right next to him. Forcing himself to snooze, Tohru was left on her lonesome with heat rising in her cheeks and body.
She after a while turned over to her masters side...and uncovered her orange foaming head. A smile forming, she scoots silently closer to him. And felt the heat of her master Asura. As she relented a fluttering wide proud smile,
"Hehe...good night master..."
she whispered. Shutting her serpent eyes, and slumbering...with her master Asura...
OWARI
