Tama left to find Drake, I had been waiting for her to get bored enough to leave. The plague was extremely important to cure. I knew this but…

  “Was it really necessary for her to leave? You always talk about her watching?” Lyran asked as he pulled his pants up. I giggled and didn’t respond. Instead, I finished putting my bra on and looked out at the golems.

  Tina and Xan had left awhile ago, before Tama had even come back the first time. Something about hunting a dragon. When Tama came back, she had interrupted Lyran and I.

  Then the whole plague thing happened and I started to panic. I didn’t trust Anna, but she did cure Tama as promised and I.. I really needed the release.

  After a moment I turned to Lyran. “Just.. to be clear, I am waiting for Tama to mature more. Then she is fair game.” Lyran frowned at that and seemed thoughtful. I rolled my eyes.

  “Yes, you can sleep with her separately, in fact I encourage it.” I started simply to calm his fears.

  He looked at me uncomfortably. “Um.. that’s.. Not really the issue Saki.. Don’t get me wrong, I am okay with threesomes, but you are my girlfriend.. It would be wrong… ya know? Without.. Without you?”

  I sighed and shook my head. “If that is how you feel, that’s fine. Just know if you change your mind I would love to watch.” Even as I finished, Tama suddenly appeared next to me and I instinctively put on an illusion of panties and a dress… both of which were draped over the control room console..

  Lyran quickly closed the door to the control room and I silently thanked every known deity that he was my boyfriend.

  “Nya Tama made a new friend!” Tama said excitedly. I almost dropped my illusion because it was Tama, and Tama could see through it anyways. But then I noticed the other girl. Slightly pale skin, purple hair, blue eyes, and an innocent and sweet smile.

  My mind began to whir.. Something was off… “Where is Anna?” I asked.

  “Do you like fries too Saki?” The girl said.

  “Nya Saki likes fries, but not as much as Tama!” Tama said gleefully.

  Maybe they hadn't heard me? “Tama!” I snapped and she looked at me. “Where is Anna?”

  Tama looked at me for a moment then opened her mouth to answer.. Then the girl cut in again. “Who is Anna?”

  Tama frowned and looked uncomfortable. “Tama doesn’t wanna talk about it.” Her tail lashed and my eyes narrowed at the girl.

  “What’s your name?” I asked casually as I shifted to a more casual smile.

  The girl turned to me with a shy smile. “Nice to meet you Royal Advisor Saki! My name is Sabrine, but you can call me Sabi.” Her tail lashed back and forth playfully and her nekojin ears perked up at seeing me.

  “Tama says you are super smart!” She continued as she leaned in. “Is it true that you assaulted a noble in the castle!?”

  I froze and narrowed my eyes. “That.. was private information, how did you know that!” Her response was to pull out a pamphlet and hand it to me. It was a letter that was crumpled up from Persip. He was complaining and calling me a traitor. It was addressed to the General.

  “I found that outside the castle gates! I, of course, cleaned it up so no one else knows!” You would never do something so vile! You are Tama’s Royal Advisor!” She said happily with a sweet smile.

  If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

  I looked at the letter then back to her. “Out.. outside the castle?” I said worriedly. After a moment, I burned the letter and looked at her again. “So.. um.. Your name was Sabi right?” She nodded cheerfully.

  I pulled up the blue box for her. As Royal Advisor, I could simply see her info, that would..

  I read over it a few times. Aside from the stats, which seemed.. Off for some reason. It was all there… I looked at her, and she looked back at me. Was.. was I just being paranoid? I mean.. “Tama, show me your underwear.” I said cleanly.

  Tama shrugged and her, quite frankly beautiful dress, swirled and then vanished showing.. Her underwear… Same purple Bra and Panties that Anna had become. They even shimmered slightly.

  I looked back at Sabi... Then my eyes wander back to Tama. “I am sorry Tama, can you remove the underwear too?” Tama smiled and her bra and panties fled her, joining the water in the swirling ball of water that was her dress. Leaving her completely naked.

  My eyes jumped to Sabi who was looking confused and uncertain. “Why is Queen Tama naked..” She said worriedly.

  Tama looked between us before asking. “Nya! Tama doesn’t want clothes, but Saki says they are important. Now Saki want’s Tama naked in front of our new friend?!” Her tail lashed and she looked uncertain.

  She made no move to put her ‘clothes’ back on though and even went so far as to look at her own body. The moment her hand started going down, I spoke. “Okay, Tama, put them back on. It’s.. fine, I was just checking something.”

  Tama looked unhappy, but the clothes reformed on her body and the very pretty dress was once again born. Sabi suddenly spoke up. “Tama! You are super fast, can you get us all fries?”

  I tried to speak but Tama was ecstatic. “Nya! Tama will be right back!” She jumped into the air and blinked.

  I turned to Sabi to speak, but her smile turned dark. “You really want to try that, do you Saki? I know you know, or would figure it out. But think for five seconds about how devastated she would be if she found out. You think you're special? Look how lonely she is, and you're too busy with the full package Lyran over here to notice! I am doing your job! So go ahead Saki, out me. But now you will be breaking another friend from Tama.”

  “Anna you..” I started but she cut me off.

  “I what? Became a better friend than you within minutes? Share all of her interests and always want what's best for her? Am I willing to do anything to make sure she is happy and safe? Or are you claiming that's you?” She turned and smiled, shifting friendly right as Tama appeared with the fries.

  I swallowed as both girls sat on the walk and ate fries together. Tama offered me one and I took it. “Nya, Tama loves fries!” She cried out as she dipped them in ketchup.

  “They really are the best!” ‘Sabi’ said as she ate another fry and smiled at Tama. Tama really was happy right now.. She was happier than I had seen her in a long time. I swallowed as I looked over at Lyran who was watching with uncertainty.

  Anna… Sabi.. was right, I had been a terrible friend and had just assumed it would be fine. I had chosen my relationship over Tama and it had led to the very event that Got Anna removed. Then I had left Tama alone again and she had caught a plague. Anna had shown up.. Again.. To save Tama.. Where was I? Getting laid…

  “Also, Sabi, Tama doesn’t like you manipulating Saki, even if you chose a new name and form!” Tama said casually as she ate another fry.

  Sabi and I froze and looked at Tama. “What.. Do you mean Tama?” Sabi asked with an innocent smile. Tame turned to look at her, then grabbed Anna.. now Sabi’s core out of her chest before she could react. “Tama can feel your core.” She said simply.

  Sabi’s entire demeanor flipped and she suddenly looked horrified. I laughed, hard. Of course Tama knew. The girl saw souls.

  “Tama likes you better this way.” Tama said happily as she handed Sabi another fry. Despite Tama’s friendly demeanor. Sabi suddenly paled and nodded viciously. Tama didn’t react at all and just ate another fry.

  “Well, if you already know.. Can I keep the Sabi name? I.. don’t really think my old form was.. Acceptable.” Sabi asked uncertainly.

  “Nya” was Tama’s one word response.

  I sometimes wonder about Tama… I really do..
