“Okay. That should be everything,” Rigi says, checking the bags.

“Let’s slip out before the pharaoh gets done with the talks today,” Asherah says.

“Couldn’t agree more. She is stuck in the past, let me tell ya,” Rigi says grabbing some bags and lifting them over his shoulder. “I would grab Daring and fast,” he says walking off.

“Actually, Asherah here wants to avoid her attempts to get his attention,” Daring informs.

“Then I suggest you hurry,” Rigi says over his shoulder.

“You four ready?” Asherah asks looking at the four.

“Yeah, mostly,” Rainbow says, hanging a bag over the shoulder with the rest of them.

“I got my little one,” Sasuke says holding her sleeping chick in her harpy form.

Asherah looks to little Avasha and rubs the little’s one head as she chirps happily.

“Cute,” Rainbow says smirking.

“She is my daughter. I have to be nice,” Asherah says still rubbing the little one’s head.

“Here’s to more children,” Sasuke says.

Asherah nods before looking around. “Let’s get out of here.”

“Finally done. Those two go on forever,” the Pharaoh says, seeing Anubis.

“So…an agreement is reached?” Anubis asks.

“The basis of one. Now, where is the son of Ra? I wish to attempt to attract his attention,” the pharaoh says.

“He left on a boat a few hours ago. Off on his next adventure most likely,” Anubis says.

“You are kidding? He left like that?” the pharaoh asks a bit shocked.

“He is an adventurer or a wanderer. He has no true home. I told you, I was surprised he stay that long, don’t you remember?” Anubis asks.

“I just wanted him in bed,” the pharaoh says slouching.

“He is still on this plane. You will see him again. Especially if we keep interacting with the Equestrians. As it is what brought him to us, to begin with,” Anubis informs.

“Maybe I should get another servant under me that is close to him,” the pharaoh says to herself, thinking of a plan.

“He killed the death worm in his anger. If you want to bed him, earn his favor,” Anubis informs.

“Or maybe one of his mates already,” the pharaoh says, already lost in her own planning.

‘Oh dear,’ Anubis thinks.

“Finally home,” Sasuke says putting her bags down.

“Yeah. About time. That was almost a bitch to deal with,” Daring says in relief.

“Now for our bill to you,” Sasuke says smirking.

“Bill?” Daring asks confused.

“You can either work it off or join Asherah’s little harem,” Sasuke says, smirking at her.

Daring looked shocked. “Are you serious? This is just the pharaoh in another way.”

“So you aren’t interested?” Rainbow asks smirking.

“Well…” Daring starts as she looks to Asherah who is holding Avasha in his arms and petting her head as she hugs him, “maybe…”

“So isn’t this a shortcut then?” Sasuke asks.

Daring rubs the back of her neck and sighs. “Fine.”

“Avasha, you got another new stepmother,” Sasuke calls.

Avasha smiles and chirps happily to Daring.

“Um…” Daring says speechless, not having thought of this.

“Come on, hold her,” Sasuke encourages.

Asherah holds out Avasha as she holds her wings out to Daring who carefully picks her up and carries her. “She’s…cute,” Daring says as Avasha wraps her arms around Daring.

“Get used to it,” Sasuke instructs smirking, implying she will be pregnant soon.

“I guess,” Daring says as she makes sure she has a good grip on Avasha.

“I will go make sure everything is in order. We recruited a merchant, three bodyguards, and a thief to work for us,” Asherah informed.

“Must be waiting for us or maybe my tribe must have already ordered them,” Rigi says looking around.

“You go check the vault and make sure nothing is missing,” Asherah advises.

Rigi stretches as he walks off. “Got it.”

“So…um…do I get a room?” Daring asks the other girls.

“Yeah…with us,” Sasuke says giggling.

“So how is our merchant doing?” Asherah asks looking to Naruto who was looking it over in her kitsune form nearly a month later.

“He is doing fine. He got us a lot of profit,” Naruto says grabbing another paper.

“I see,” Asherah says before covering her with a blanket as the seasons were changing to winter.

Naruto smiles at him. “You’re always so sweet.”

“I am not a food,” Asherah says bluntly.

Naruto giggles and leans on him. “No. But there is another part of you that is sweet and you give it every night to us.”

“You like what I make for dinner?” Asherah asks.

Naruto laughs and hugs him. “You’re a clueless husband. But you’re ours.”

“Speaking of which, how are the tribe Rigi controls?” Asherah asks.

Naruto hums as she looks at another scroll. “Seems they are turning in more profit than ever. More tribes from where he picked them up are coming in for safety and the breeder zebras are going to work the most. We got more potions than we know what to do with and even some mages. I say he took a big risk and came back with an income boost.”

“I see…so what about this Kurama you told me about?” Asherah inquires.

Naruto sighs and puts her head on his lap. “He was a fox spirit that lived in me. Well…forced into me and forced to live inside me. He was a god spirit and…well…well he was a bit of a friend to me. That was until I became this certain form did he disappear. I guess I became him in a sense.”

“How do you know this?” Asherah asks.

Naruto smiles up at him. “This form. It requires you to be super smart. So…knowledge received.”

“I see,” Asherah says getting in the blanket with her.

Naruto smiles and hugs and snuggles up to him. “I love you.”

“Love you too,” Asherah says, making Naruto happier.

Naruto nuzzles him and wraps her tails around him. “So…what else is needed to be talked about?”

“I want to know how we are doing financially as you are better at it than I am,” Asherah admits.

Naruto smiles and kisses his cheek. “We are doing well enough. Income is pretty high. Heck, we could start our own town with this.”

“Somehow, I think you are blowing it out of proportions trying to impress me,” Asherah says.

“A good wife has too,” Naruto says, giving a foxy grin.

“Tell me the truth, how are we really?” Asherah asks.

Naruto sighs. “We are making like a thousand a week. Just enough to steadily fill up the accounts.”

“And what about an account to start saving for Avasha?” Asherah asks.

Naruto blinks and sits up and looks to him. “Really? An account for her?”

“To set aside money for her education and to buy gifts for her,” Asherah says,

Naruto hums. “Well…we can set aside half, but that won’t solve unexpected expenses that might come up.”

“The problem is we need more room to expand,” Rigi says walking up and tosses a pillow to them.

“Only place to expand is down,” Naruto informs.

“We need diggers and I heard from the little dragon and seamstress that this land is plentiful of jewels and gems,” Rigi says, sitting down and thinking. “They did tell me of dogs that love to do this job as long as they have jewels.”

“Naruto, Twilight has been teaching you all the laws of this land. What about them involving excavation?” Asherah asks.

“Free range. As long as it isn’t on any official property that isn’t yours, then you can dig all you want. Heck, go deep down as much as you want. Just make sure that if you are digging under buildings, don’t cross the property line and don’t make them unstable,” Naruto says before they all look to the window at the back of the house to the forest beyond. “I think we got enough room.”

“Then let’s send our thief and a few hired muscle to stiff around looking for a job for them to establish contact with them,” Asherah says.

“Yeah, question is, how long will that take? In fact, hold off on making the account for your girl for now. Until we get our dog diggers, we can’t do shit,” Rigi says getting up and leaving.

“What about you? Any you screw show signs of becoming pregnant?” Naruto asks.

“Not really. Not even that crazy wyvern bitch. Five gangbangs and still not gravid with eggs,” Rigi explains.

“Maybe because you don’t go all the way like Asherah does,” Naruto points out.

Rigi smirks to them. “And there is the problem. I really don’t want to overload us with kids and hatchlings running around. It would bankrupt us. We need another established running civilization to live for that.”

“Well, we are late for that as the zebra tribe is already having children,” Naruto informs.

“And that’s as far as I’ll give it,” Rigi says shrugging.

“Start having our merchant making inquiries on any rumors of anyone with exceptional skills as well. We will send the other hired thug to go investigate the rumors looking for recruits,” Asherah says, letting Naruto wrap herself back around him.

Rigi nods. “Give the message. Got it,” he says walking off.

“And be prepared, you might be getting more slaves soon,” Asherah informs.

“Woo hoo!” Rigi cheers as he throws his arm up.

“No guarantee, though,” Asherah adds as Naruto moves in to kiss him.

“I always get some!” Rigi yells from down the hall.

A good solid two months passed. Asherah growing increasingly worried they won’t get a job from the dogs as Daring laid in bed with him.

“Are you alright?” Daring asks, looking to him.

“Yeah, I am fine, but if we don’t get a job from them soon, I will go and kick down their door basically to talk,” Asherah says.

Daring chuckles. “Yeah. That’s you. Kicking down doors, breaking bones…burning…all the same.”

“Well, I was a thief before I met all of you,” Asherah reminds.

“Really? How much did you do?” Daring asks, looking to him.

“The crew I ran with only went after the biggest scores. We even raided an auction for all of the known mafia gangs. We stole everything from them replaced them with fakes and took all their money. We built up quite a reputation for our daring heists,” Asherah says.

Daring smirks and raises an eyebrow at him.

“What?” Asherah asks.

Daring chuckles and lays her head back down onto his chest. “Yeah. You can’t make jokes.”

“You found something I said funny?” Asherah asks.

Daring giggles. “A little. But I guess you aren’t that good, are you?”

“Actually, we were also the most feared as those mafia groups went to war with us over that and all the heads of their families elite hitmen were buried by us,” Asherah says completely serious.

Daring sighs. “And you killed the mood.”

“Also, out of all of them, I am most likely the cruelest,” Asherah says.

“And look at you now. Look at what you have,” Daring says, snuggling her head on him.

“Yes, but it doesn’t mean I changed that much…have Naruto or Sasuke told you about the succubus and what she tried to do to them?” Asherah asks.

“Yeah. Tough to hear. Can’t believe they still have those forms,” Daring says.

“I wonder how long she lasted before she died? A week, maybe a month?” Asherah asks, thinking aloud.

Daring hums. “So…going to check to see if the job is there or not?”

“Oh, I did a month ago. The corpse was already torn apart by wild animals,” Asherah informs.

“Job boy. Job,” Daring says slapping his chest.

“So does this mean you want to go again or are we done for the night?” Asherah asks.

Daring rolls her eyes. “Just go to sleep hon.”

“Alright. I can wait one more week,” Asherah says.

“Sir?” the wolf asks, walking into the castle and finds most of the group just laying around. “We got a message for a job.”

“About fucking time!” Rigi yells as he gets up and heads to his room to pack.

“What is the jobs for the dogs?” Asherah asks.

“Apparently there is a big war going on near them and they can’t mine. They want the little war dealt with,” the wolf explains, giving him the message.

“Go rest,” Asherah says, getting up.

“Yes sir,” the wolf says walking off.

“Oh and if any of my girls are touched by anyone while I am away, both the offenders and you will suffer,” Asherah informs terrifying the wolf.

The wolf gulps as he freezes. “Ye…yes sir.”

“Good. Sasuke, Naruto, you both are coming this time,” Asherah informs.

“Yes! Another job!” Naruto cheers, in her original female human form.

“Alright,” Sasuke says in her original female form as Rarity cleaned her face with a napkin.

“Let’s go, man,” Rigi says tossing them all a grab bag.

“Are they in here?” Asherah asks.

“Yep. But you got like four mags each. One already in them,” Rigi explains as he shows his rifle on his bag.

“Not enough, but given how much ammo they can produce right now, it will have to do,” Asherah says.

Rigi nods. “Yeah. Save ‘em, though. I got only one extra mag.”

“We will be back soon,” Asherah says before kissing Rarity, showing Rigi he missed Rarity making her move while he was getting the other two tribes under his command.

Rigi growls under his breath, before smirking slightly that he can have a bit of quantity than quality for a bit.

“I shall do so darling and maybe I will make some clothes for my stepdaughter,” Rarity says.

Avasha chirps happily as she tries and climbs up onto a seat.

“Take care of her with Sophie, Rainbow, and Daring,” Sasuke says helping her daughter up.

“Of course I will. She is family,” Rarity says smiling as Avasha sits down and smiles at her.

“Also, vault four is yours to use. I have decided to fill it with some money already to help with your business,” Asherah says.

“Oh. Thank you, dearie,” Rarity says smiling.

“Just try working together with the merchant. You may now work the same wares, but he has contacts to the east and you have contacts here. So working together, you two could expand your business,” Asherah says.

“You just know how to treat a fine lady,” Rarity says walking to him and hugs him.

“Easy now Rarity. He has to work himself,” Rainbow says looking over the weather schedule.

“Oh, hush. I won’t bother him that much,” Rarity chides as she waves a hand towards her.

“Why not do something useful like finding a way to make normal clothes as durable as armor or coming on!” Rigi calls.

Rarity rolls her eyes. “Because you will pay me at least. Besides, you insist on wearing that drab cloak.”

“I like this thing,” Rigi says looking at it.

“Does that mean you also dislike my outfit?” Asherah asks.

Rarity hums. “Only if you are in a jungle, I may. But we are not.”

“Can we go now? It isn’t clothing talking time,” Rigi groans.

Asherah rolls his eyes. “Yes. Let’s go,” he says and Rigi is the first out the door before sticking his head back in.

“Girls, watch the castle and kids!” he yells before rushing back out.

“So this is where they are hiring, huh?” Asherah asks, coming to an old bar in a city.

“Looks decent,” Rigi says walking in.

Asherah says nothing, opening the bar door to look inside, immediately drawing everyone’s attention.

“There the doggies are,” Rigi says walking over to three different diamond dogs of different sizes.

Asherah motioned for Naruto and Sasuke to remain close as he followed, taking note of the many mercenaries in the bar.

“So…what’s with all the muscle? This war taking a bigger job than ever?” Rigi asks cheerfully.

“Rigi, it’s obvious the reward is what has drawn them,” Asherah say knowing these types of gathering from when he walked into a bar in disguise while the mafia’s recruit people to hunt him and his gang down.

“Well, then they are idiots. If the war is enough to keep dog digging dogs off of the lands when they can dig right under them, then there’s a bigger problem,” Rigi says.

“What did you say?!” one of the mercenaries growls.

“He said you were idiots,” Asherah informs.

Rigi rolls his eyes as the hot-headed merc runs at him with a punch ready and Rigi stays still before sliding back suddenly and leaving his tail, making the merc trip into a table. “Yeah. You need to be better.”

“Rigi, don’t play with them. Show them how weak they are in comparison to you,” Asherah says before stomping on the guy’s shield attached to his arm and shattered it with his nen infused stomp, leaving his arm completely untouched.

Rigi clicks his tongue. “You’re no fun,” he says as he dodges to the side of another punch coming at him from another merc and he grabs the fist and holds it as it shakes. “You…I don’t even think a teenage dragon is a good enough match for you,” he says gripping his neck and throws him into the bar, smashing all the bottles and glasses. “Who’s next?” Rigi asks, taking out his sword and spinning it around.

“Rigi, focus on why we are here,” Sasuke says.

“Yeah. For some good ass to hunt, kill, and fuck,” Rigi says chuckling pervertly.

“No, for the job,” Asherah reminds.

“Oh yeah. That too,” Rigi says grinning.

“I will sign us up since you made an ass out of yourself,” Asherah says walking to them.

“Yeah, yeah. Go ahead and sign us up asshole,” Rigi says jumping onto an empty table and laying on it.

“Name?” the dog asks.

“Asherah,” Asherah says, making the bar go silent.

“Yep. Great Asherah here guys. Also, yes. My name’s Rigi. Take us both in,” Rigi says chuckling as he waves a hand in the air.

“Just sign us as Blazing Moon group,” Asherah informs.

The dogs were still surprised as the littlest dog was trying to scribble them down.

Asherah then motions his girls to join him at the table with Rigi.

Rigi sighs as he takes out the map of the area. “So…war? Never heard of any war around here that much.”

“Looking at the surface, but the dogs like to dig for gems and a war on the surface wouldn’t affect them this much, so it must be underground and maybe full of monsters,” Asherah points out.

“And maybe underground monsters that have a war of its own. So both top and bottom,” Rigi says shrugging.

“We shall see,” Asherah says.

Rigi hums before putting the map away and then slams his head on the table as he snores loudly. “Wake me when ready.”

“Listen up!” one of the dogs calls.

“I’m up!” Rigi yells, picking his head up.

“The job wesa hired you for is to help us fight the monsters that have been pushing us out of our underground territories,” the dog says to all of them.

“Plan?!” Rigi calls.

“We will be dropping you at the border of the territory. We have managed to keep from there. You are to push them back so we can regain territory,” the dog says.

Rigi slowly looks to Asherah. “Want to slam heads against the table for a bit?”

“I have dealt with worse idiots, but this means we are free to do what we want as long as we accomplish our goals,” Asherah says.

“Good. Because we need to find some ways,” Rigi explains.

“You two ready?” Asherah asks, holding his two girls.

“Yeah. Ready to go,” Naruto says leaning on him

“Also, it’s time you two started thinking about what weapons you really want to wield besides the sword and shield,” Asherah informs.

“Yeah. Been thinking about it too,” Sasuke says smiling.

“Well, we are going to work on it when we get home,” Asherah says before they got up.

Rigi yawns as he stretches. “Maybe you girls can get it personalized.”
