13,926Mira was aware of a late night visitor outside her dorm. However they were content to wander the ground and had yet to enter without permission.
So out of boredom, she decided to see who it was.
Her breath caught the moment she caught sight of him. If it wasn't for the fact she would have sensed if there was an incubus in the school, she would have assumed he was like her. He was inhumanly beautiful, and his horns were magnificent. He had an ethereal aura, and his magic was so tempting a treat that it was taking every ounce of self restraint to avoid mounting him then and there. His deep green eyes spoke of old magic and fierce intelligence, and seemed to pour into her very soul.
Mira knew damn well if any of her clan caught sight of him, they'd dance naked into hell for a chance at him.
Once the shock wore off, her senses returned.
"I was unaware that the dorm had become inhabited. A pity," he said.
Seven-dammit...even his voice was sin personified.
"Who are you?" she asked.
He seemed deeply amused by the question, which lead her to believe he was very well known.
Mira decided on a different question.
"Why are you wandering this area so late?"
"I come to enjoy the quiet, and to observe the gargoyles," he said.
"Gargoyles?" she said, blinking. She looked up to the silent figure of the stone guardian. "Huh. I guess they're so good at their jobs I never really paid attention to their presence."
She could tell she had said the exact right thing, because the mystery male all but beamed at her.
Of all the things she could have expected, having an in-depth discussion on stone gargoyles with a very hot male that was making all her instincts sing was not one of them.
"Mira-chan, don't take this the wrong way, but are you aware of the rumors about you?" asked Cater carefully. He was rather fond of the girl and had been treating her basically like a younger sibling of sorts.
It was such a novel experience that Mira enjoyed it immensely.
"If it's about the fact I've been inviting boys over to my dorm for a 'good time'..." she started, and he nodded. "Then it's not only true, but it's rather nice to have the rumor mill work so quickly in my favor."
That made Cater stop and actually look at her.
"Wait...what?"
Mira couldn't help but laugh.
Her tail waved a bit in front of Cater, remind him she wasn't entirely human. She was thoroughly enjoying the fact that they had pants already altered for tails, and had bought several pairs already.
She generally kept her tail wrapped around like a belt of sorts, which made it easier to shuck them off when she found another boy to drain.
"So you did that deliberately?"
She made sure no one was around. Cater caught the hint and cast a privacy spell around them.
"My species tends to feed off sexual energy," she said bluntly. "Some people more than others."
"Wait. That research Riddle was doing a few weeks ago before he suddenly calmed down by a lot..."
"He figured it out and I confirmed it. Since I'm not actively feeding off the students to the point they can't attend class, he's elected to not say anything on the matter. This is actually the ideal feeding ground," she admitted.
"How so?" asked Cater. He had no room to talk, considering he tended to sleep around a lot too.
"I don't have to drain one person to unhealthy levels, and there are so many boys here I can do a quick feed and leave them feeling only mildly tired after...which they'll just attribute to getting off anyway."
"Wonder if Crowley knows," said Cater grinning.
"Not yet he doesn't," smirked Mira. "And I'm waiting for him to figure it out, because if any of my clan had been here the teachers would have picked up on it a lot sooner."
Cater was already grinning, as he was sure the reaction would be hilarious.
"Want a list of discreet areas?" he asked.
"Yes please," said Mira without a second thought.
Cater seemed to think of something, and sent Mira a series of pictures with names under them. She looked at them and gave him a questioning glance.
"These are the known assholes who aren't particular careful with their partners. They've been known to get unacceptably rough with anyone unlucky enough to get their attention," explained Cater.
"Ah. Well if they're stupid enough to try that with me, they're going to end up on the wrong end of the food chain...and that's before I feed off them."
Most succubi tended to fuck rather than fight. Mira on the other hand had become a proficient martial artist by necessity. Her lover Hibari wouldn't have allowed her to simply act as a damsel in distress... not so long as he was the primary source of her food. Most of the Disciplinary committee knew about what she was, but so long as she followed the agreement with Hibari, they looked the other way.
Hibari did not tolerate weak lovers, and honestly a good fight was enough to get her ready. Something he put to good use.
Cater was rather pleased in an odd way when Mira told him that if he ever got too pent up or needed a quickie, he could hit her up at any time and she'd take care of him. Also, it was nice having someone he could freely chat about that sort of thing with zero judgment.
Cater was initially very worried when Mira made a beeline for the Savanaclaw dorm over the spate of 'accidents'. She had become very pissed over Riddle being targeted. She still found it amusing that the headmage had chosen to turn a blind eye over her fucking half the school, so long as she never became pregnant.
His concern turned to confusion when instead of trying to seduce Leona...Mira brought out a pair of what could only be tonfa. Tonfa that had seen a considerable amount of use and a pair that she showed an unusual degree of familiarity with.
What happened next could only be described as a massacre...for the Savanaclaw dorm.
Leona was not expecting the school's newest (and most open) slut to be able to kick his ass ten ways to Sunday without breaking a sweat.
"The fuck? Since when does a succubus know how to fight?" said Ruggie incredulous.
"Wait, that's what she is?" said Cater confused.
"Leona said the tail made it pretty obvious," said Ruggie shrugging.
Seeing the horns, tail and the cute pair of bat wings made it even more obvious. Either way, she was giving Leona one hell of a hard time and he was beyond thrown by this fact.
Leona had a pretty nasty black eye, and there was a distinct look of actual respect for Mira by the time they called an uneasy truce.
A few days later, the accidents had mostly stopped...but there was a new visitor in Ramshackle.
"Since when does a succubus know how to actually fight and not just fuck?" said Leona, smirking.
"When their primary lover refuses to let them be a damsel in distress all the damn time," deadpanned Mira flatly. "Hibari-senpai made it clear that if I was going to feed on him, then I would have to learn how to get him worked up without having to resort to just using seduction. Martial arts is just another way to tango."
Leona was from the Sunset Savannah. He was used to women being the strong ones in the relationship. Hell, in the animal kingdom the females were usually the most vicious.
"What will it take for you to turn a blind eye?" he asked.
"Your little stunts are interrupting my feeding grounds," she snorted. "The weaker students are all too worried about being next to give me a proper work out, and the others are too busy with this stupid spelldrive tournament."
"I'm surprised Crowley hasn't figured out what he let loose in the school yet," said Leona with a snort.
Unleashing a succubus of all things into an all boy's school like Night Raven was a guaranteed recipe for trouble Crowley would hate.
"He's lucky he got a more discreet one than most. If any one else in my clan had gotten permission to stay they would have drained a good third of the students dry already," said Mira. "Besides, from what I understand graduating here means a better chance at getting into medical school later."
"Medical school?" said Leona surprised.
"Most of my clan end up as escorts, madams or massage therapists. I want to become a reproductive specialist or at the very least, a sex therapist," said Mira. "Less competition and the medical degree would insure a small level of respect. Even my own mother calls me a hopeless romantic."
Leona's respect for her went up a bit hearing that. Most succubi would have been a one and done, draining as many as they could of their energy and magic before getting chased off. He had only started connecting the dots once he got a good whiff of her scent, which made her a far more discreet hunter than most.
Which made her one of the most dangerous kinds to come across in the wild.
Leona's smirk had Mira smile slightly as well. He needed no words for what he was offering, and this was a far more preferable method to avoiding a repeat of earlier.
The next morning...
"Leona offered to let you feed from him to make up for disrupting your meals?" said Cater snorting.
"In exchange I won't come back until after the tournament. He agreed to not target Riddle a second time. He gave me more energy than the lackluster deposits the others have been for the past week," said Mira cheerfully. "Also he said he'd pay me to deal with his ruts, since Ruggie had to back out halfway through the last time."
Cater choked, just a bit.
"Lucky bitch."
"Honestly, I thought mom was joking when she said college would be much easier than high school. Here no one comments nearly as much about the fact I sleep around so much besides a half-hearted observation, and the teachers aren't nearly as bitchy since it's clear I'm taking precautions," said Mira.
"How is your mom doing?" asked Cater.
"She's moved to a new feeding ground closer to the clan. She made it clear ages ago she was just waiting for me to find one of my own before she left that boring town," said Mira. "Oh, and that apparently my sperm donor remembered I existed because he's sent someone to try and bring me back into his family...it's far too late for that though."
From what Nana implied, Iemitsu had attempted to drag Kiseki back into his family for a political marriage. That would have only ended in disaster, so it was for the best Mira was far, far away from that country right now.
"Still, did Leona say why he was causing such a ruckus?"
"He's pissed someone named Malleus kept stealing the spotlight...and the attention...of the people who give out sports scholarships. Everyone is so busy watching him they aren't giving any attention to the Savanaclaw students who rely on that for their college expenses," said Mira.
Cater winced.
"Okay, that makes complete sense actually."
"So...have Ace and Deuce started fucking yet?" asked Mira eagerly.
Cater cackled at that.
"If they haven't, then they're pretty close to it. I saw Ace trying to hide a hickey last week."
Mira had pegged those two as a potential couple within minutes of meeting them. It was the main reason why her allure didn't work on either of them, which she was delighted about because they were swiftly becoming steadfast friends.
It was a fact that most of succubi ended up being major supporters of the LGBTQ community, and wore the banner with Pride. It wasn't out of irony either...most succubi could only develop healthy, non-sexual friendships with those who were gay. More than one had acted as a surrogate for their gay friends, since it was an arrangement that made everyone happy.
