The Midnight Prince

[Shisou]

Shisou nods, tugging Rokag up to cuddle with him as they head to sleep in his bed, together. 


It takes four days before Indou gets impatient and summons a healer to take care of Shisou's ribs, four days when they can't go out at night because of his injury. They learn new ways of taking care of each other sexually during that time, refusing to stop just because of his wounds -- though, now, either before or after the main event, Shiori comes out to play and be played with. 

After his ribs are healed, the next day, a different healer comes to visit. Rokag had planned a combat practice lesson with Tsuki, but instead, she's sent back to her room by the servants, whispering and hesitant. Not long after, Shisou enters, his face beet red, with the healer and Indou at his heels. 

"Now, there's no need to be alarmed," the healer is saying as they enter. "Just show me what you do together, and I'll give advice. We just want to ensure that you're performing optimally to impregnate your fiancee, after all." 

[Rokag]

"What in the h-" Rokag had to physically clamp he mouth shut as Indou and the healer came in. She'd expected this to be another examination of her 'Status' but that was usually with no one else present. Sh why in the fuck was Indou here?!

After a moment to keep herself from shouting. She manages to speak. "Is... something...wrong?" She hoped that her efforts to not ask loudly about Indou came off more like confusion

[GamesMaster]

Indou takes a chair, spinning it around and sitting in it backwards. "Not at all," he says, with a sly grin. "We just want to make sure you're doing it right. Kid might be dense enough to stick it in the wrong hole or summit."

The healer winces. "Please. This is a matter of some delicacy, of course. We understand that. There are simply concerns that your good faith efforts may not be... ideal."

[Rokag]

"...okay, but why does everyone need to be here just to ask what we're doing." Rokag did NOT want the alternative to be true. She was sure that it couldn't be true, cuz that would be fucked up even FOR everything else she's heard.

[GamesMaster]

"You're to give a demonstration. You can keep most of your clothing on, of course, just a demonstration of what techniques you're using. Mr Higurashi is here to, ah, ensure everyone's safety during the examination."

[Rokag]

Rokag did NOT want to do ANYTHING of the sort with Indou here. She would honestly rather have to bathe those big cats again. There wasn't a lot she could DO about it without making herself a target or... "Uh..isn't that...kinda improper. I thought only my betrothed can see me in that state." And hopefully this examiner isn't one Indou just completely paid off.

[GamesMaster]

"Precisely, precisely. You'll keep your yukata on, and remove your underthings only. Shisou will have to remove his hakama and leave the yukata on."

[Rokag]

Rokag...gave that something of a concerned look while, internally, she was panicking. Why in the DEAPTS was Indou HERE for this. Either he thinks something is up or this is some unique kinda fucking torture. "I...see." She tried to catch Shiori's eyes in a hope that he had ANY idea what the fuck kinda trap this was.  "Is...I was made aware that having such things viewed by anyone would be shameful. Is..that not the case? I don't wish to cause any trouble for anyone." Rokag REALLY hoped that all those 'lessons' she'd picked up from the other girls in the menagure weren't all fucking talk, but that was definitely why Kotaru had made a big fucking fuss about peopel trying to sneak off during the festival.

[GamesMaster]

"There's nothing shameful about seeing a healer," he says kindly, with a warm smile. 

[Rokag]

"My apologies, then. I was not aware that Lord Indou was a healer as well."

[GamesMaster]

"You hear stories, sometimes," says Indou, dismissively. "Don't want you taken advantage of by a healer or anything."

"P-p-p-p-p-perh-h-h-h-aps a--"

"Spit it out, boy, we haven't got all day."

"M-m-m-m-m-ay-b-b-b-b-e-"

"Zanon's sake, kid, nobody has time for your muttering." 

[Rokag]

I can probably defend myself better than you could defend me. Rokag kept the comment to herself as she worked her brain on how to get out of this. "Thank you for the concern for my well-being, but this seems...slightly much for you to personally assure this. Perhaps there's someone else that could report to you? I don't want to be a distraction."

[Shisou]

"A s-s-s-s-creen," stammers out Shisou. "Y-y-y-y-ou c-c-c-c-could h-h-h-h-hide b-b-b-b-e--"

"Yeah, yeah. I'll go behind a screen and you shout if he tries to rape you." Indou doesn't seem happy about it, but he does relent, going to get a screen from across the room and move it by his chair. 

[Rokag]

"That seems fine." Rokag gave a bow and made a mental note that he REALLY wanted to stab Indou right now. She still have to give a look to Shisou in thanks....and then remembers they still have to PERFORM in front of someone!

[GamesMaster]

"Now then. If you will lay on the bed here," says the healer, "and lift your kimono to provide access. Shisou-- ah, yes, good, remove your hakama. Alright, go ahead."

Shisou hesitates, letting his hakama drop to the floor, leaving him in the yukata. I am so sorry, he thinks as hard as he can toward Rokag, still bright red. And not at all, ah, interested.
