Tayuu

The history of Japan, as controlled by a magical sprite made in mortal form by the sun goddess, sent to find the royal family, and be their Tayuu throughout history...to those of you who know Japanese history, this is not written to fit it, but for it to fit my story...oh, and also, your comments are welcome unless you wish to cut my efforts down, then please keep them to yourself, or if you have nothing good to say, say nothing at all, thank you

The next morning I go to my house and tell Connase, "My precious darling the emperor has proposed to me last night, we shall be wed in 6 month, the business, school, all the furnishings, girls, patrons and profits are now yours I will come buy often to see how you are doing, but know this I will never take more then you can easily pay once yearly."

After poor Connase stops crying she asks, "You will not be my mistress and lover princess."

"I cannot my love, I gave the emperor my vow of loyalty. There are the attendants who will easily become loyal lovers to you Connase."

Then in a shocking move, for me at least, she stands and announces, "I know why you are doing this, it may be on paper, but Princess between you and I only you shall still own the pleasure palace of the Yoshiwara. I will never forsake my everlasting love for you, profits shall go into wherever you have kept the fortune you seem to have that has no end, I shall raise and cultivate one who will take over when the time comes...no my love, I refuse to desert you even to the place where I masturbate only as I dream it is you who still excites me so."

"So be it my precious love, one last passionate kiss good bye."

Then I go to Yukio and ask, "You are becoming older my love, your time of youthful vitality has passed, I give you this, is it your wish to come with me, and be my servant living out your life near me, or here with your memories."

"If you will have me you know my answer."

"Then ready yourself, we leave as soon as you are."

Back at the palace General Leyasu, prime minister has brought his cabinet to have a meeting over this, what they consider, rash decision of the emperor, and as it begins and I am coming into the hall, he tells me, "No princess Susiama, you are not allowed, this is between men, not a woman and men."

"As you command my lord."

But I watch from out side, and listening to their arguments, "Your majesty, she is a whore who many of us has actually had in our beds, she is crafty, intelligent, knowledgeable in world affairs, how can we know she will not pervert the mind of our emperor to make illogical decisions."

So I empower Yukiosaki and he stands and tells them, "Every one of you has pledged his loyalty to me, telling me I am the youngest, most intelligent emperor the Japanese empire has ever had, who better to be at my side then one whose intelligence is far beyond a mere woman's, who can actually council me and even us as we face what is our destiny. No my council I tell you this as you say, this too intelligent woman is my match in every way, not simply an empty headed woman, to lay in my bed, receive my lust, bare my children and not be visible as I must find another to satisfy my desires, Princess Susiama will be the perfect empress for, who you say is the Japanese empire's most promising emperor...I will take no decisions today, think on this, give me you reply tomorrow, General Leyasu, please sir stay."

After the hall is empty Yukiosaki asks, "You led this argument what is your reasoning General."

"May I speak freely your majesty."

"You have my permission."

"I have laid this trollop, and talked with her, she thinks even quicker than I, I fear her your majesty, she is a sorceress who will pervert your mind as she has done countless others."

"As I recall it was your uncle who convinced my father to take her from this council, do you have no mind of your own, but to stupidly follow his thinking which is from old Japan, Leyasu, you sir, are relieved of your position, to ensure you do not pervert the minds of others you shall be imprisoned until you either learn to think for yourself or are of no importance to the Japanese empire."

He instantly falls to his knees pleading, "Please your majesty, do not do this to me, I have served you well."

"Then on pain of slow and terrible death make you loyalty, devotion and submissiveness to her majesty the empress of the Japanese empire...Princess Susiama please come out and allow general Leyasu to do this."

Appearing from behind a door I walk to the throne, stand in front of Leyasu and ask, "You have something to say General."

He kneels, and suddenly draws his sword to kill me, and it is almost magically ripped from his hands, as I finger stab his throat, splattering blood all over he and I and he falls dead on the floor. Poor Yukiosaki who did not even witness all of this because it all happened so quickly, almost weakly says, "Truly I have found my empress, guards remove the body of this traitor, I need no prime minister, I shall hold this title from now on, is that not as it should be."

I kneel before him and kiss his feet, looking up into his eyes I say, "Again my lord, I pledge my everlasting loyalty, devotion and allegiance to the throne of the empire of Japan, and my love to you."

By now the great hall filled with other of the council who had lingered, servants and staff, as they all cheer, "Long live the emperor and empress of the Japanese empire."

Later in our quarters my precious Togi says to me, "Your might is as quick as your wit my darling, I did not even see him pull his sword, nor your blow that killed him."

Kissing his lips passionately and placing his hand on my breast, I reply, "One as mighty as you my lord, demands immediate unwavering loyal response to your every word, the mighty personification of the sun goddess on earth must never have less. Rise above these finite mortals and see your divinity, which in their goodness has bestowed upon you through their humble slave your, soon to be, empress."

He sweeps me into his arms, kissing me madly, fondling my tiny body. All Japan spends the 6 months until our wedding celebrating the future of the empire, since few of the common people know Yukiosaki's age, or who I even am, except I am a cousin, knowing only the emperor is to have an Empress who will give him sons. We have many processions through the streets and enjoy the love of our subjects, as during many I stop the procession, get out of our carriage and walk out among the people, allowing them to touch me and tell me how lovely I am as well as how pleased they are with our coming wedding. During one of these walks of mine, as our imperial guards try to have Yukiosaki get me back in the carriage, I come face to face with a young child, who slowly says, almost as if she was reading it from something some one else had written, "Princess Susiama, please take this as a gift from me, knowing it tells you of our love for you."

She hands me a group of wild flowers, so I kneel as I tell her, "This one, look closely, come out little pixie let this adorable girl see you."

And suddenly a very tiny Pixie flutters from the flower stops, and flies away, as the girl asks, "Was that a real Pixie Princess Susiama."

"Yes, my darling it is, now thank you so very much, where are your parents."

A woman steps forth and tells me, "Her father has just died, than you for being so kind to my Sasi, she loves and worships you my honorable Princess, may the Kami give you a wonderfully pleasing life."

"Wait, do you have enough to live on."

"It is difficult...but we manage."

Tears begin running down my face as I call, "My lord Emperor Yukiosaki please will you come here."

Then with a great number of our guards around us I tell Yuki, "My lord, please I beg of you hear me, do we provide enough for the poor of our subjects." "Princess Susiama, this I must take up with my council."

I kneel before him, and ask, "Please my lord may these two come with us...now."

Smiling he replies, "I best become used to this, you are just too tender hearted Princess, yes, of course, Captain have this woman and her daughter ride with us."

During our ride I ask, "What do you work at Maim."

"I wash cloths and clean the lord major's home Princess."

So once back at the palace Yuki sends for Lord Mayor Leasu, and ask, "Lord Mayor you have a woman working for you named Renase Siccoma is she well enough provided for."

"Your majesty I do not understand your question."

"Sir, this is not a complex question, is she properly provided for."

"I do not know your majesty, I never have heard of this woman."

"She washes your clothing and cleans you home and you have never heard of her, I know the name of every servant in the palace."

"May I humbly ask your majesty what does this have to do with you."

Suddenly Yuki was dumbfounded the realized possibly this is how most all the nobility looked upon those under themselves, so he tells the lord Mayor, "I want you to find out who she is, check and see if she makes enough to support her and her daughter and if not, tell me...and lord Mayor...let nothing happen to her. I expect an answer tomorrow...you are dismissed...Susi please come out now...you heard."

"Yes my lord, may I suggest, if Japan is going to expand it must make sure its people are provided for, or the ones we take over will be little more then conquered ones who hate us, unless we can give them more than they now have, and if our own do not have enough to live on where does that put the others we control out side of these islands."

A great mission began that day as ministers choice others to travel throughout the islands to see if our subject are indeed provided for properly, ships of food and men sailed for all our extended areas, as we began a program other nations will not get around to for another 200 years, a kind of social help center that checks into the people's lives and give assistance where need, so my darling Yukiosaki now emperor, prime minister, chief military head of all the armed forces, designer of war ships, ground military tactics, new and more power weaponry many working on those very weapons praising and worshipping H.I.M., emperor Yukiosaki of the Japanese empire. As of now we control Indo-China, Korea, Formosa, and major ports along the coast of Asia proper, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and even Singapore in Indonesia, although our hold there is weak, one day during a meeting of the council the strongest of them, lord Tougawa of Hokkaido takes the floor and says, "Your majesty as we all know our hold on Singapore is weak at best, we must do something about that is we want to hold it for future expansion."

"Yes Lord Tugawa, that has been on my mind, although as you know I do not feel as though I need your council, you are here and you are for this purpose so tell me your thoughts."

Lord Meiji stands as he says, "The French now loosely control Malaysia, they neither have actual use for it, nor do they offer any real assistance to the people there, nor do they have a military force that can defend it, speak to the French Ambassador, ask him if we may give these poor half starving people real assistance, if so we shall take Malaysia, and strengthen it from possible foreign invasion."

So Tougawa replies to him, "You know the French they have no actual power but they are foolish barbarians who wish the world to think so by having these useless, to them, pieces of Islands on the other side of earth. In other words your majesty they will not willingly give it to us."

Smiling Togisaki tells them, "We all know these matters as they are, but still if I talk to them before we act, no one may say we took Malaysia without warning." That evening as Togi and I are having dinner he asks, "You heard, today."

"Yes my Lord, offer the French Japanese protection over their Polynesia, it has none now, we have an interest in Malaysia, none in Polynesia...possibly they will not think quickly enough to realize what we are doing also gives us a powerful hold on Polynesia...and my lord do it yourself, bringing a few of your council, and I humbly pray my master allow myself to be with you."

"Susi darling; why do you address me so formally when I have given you permission to refer to me by name, even as you have done for years when you were my Tayu."

"Familiarity shall give me that my lord, as of now, I have given you my life, will and freedom, I am your slave therefore it is only as it should be, that you are my lord and master."

"You humble me Susi, in knowing you will freely give your life for mine...but I pose a question Susi, pray tell me more of what you actually are."

With a questionable look I ask, "My lord...your meaning."

"Please do not treat me as you did, a young child, I now have become the man you fashioned and made sure I will be, no games now my little sprite."

"So many times Togi, I have shown you my world, yet you seem to remember it as a child's fairy tale...my lord Emperor Yokosuka you are blessed above any who came before you, they had my council, my passion and my love, but you have my very self and all the sorcery I possess. Now watch."

We had been setting in our bedroom suite, with only a few candles lit so the room had been darkened, suddenly from no where, as if a small sun was shining in here only the room brightened, and Togi saw 1000s of tiny creatures buzzing around the room, especially around my face, as he heard, "Yes my darlings reveal your selves to this mortal, for we shall soon to be wed, your sister has been chosen to become empress of all Japan be joyful with me."

Togi asks, "Are you speaking to these creatures."

"My lord, these "creatures," as you refer to them, is also myself, you jokingly refer to me as a sprite because I am so tiny, Yuki, I am a sprite, a wood sprit to be exact with more sorcery in my little finger than power in all our military might...but think my lord, one may not win by sorcery, how can it be explained, so I assist, Council and intervene only when all else fails. Look closely at me, my precious, allow me to show you who, indeed is your empress to be." As Togi looks I land on his lap and his kimono is lifted and now far easier to see 100s of us flutter around him, then as quickly he is pushed back and suddenly I am laying on his body as we make a magically driven form of euphorically delirious ecstatic love, as at the moment of his ejaculation I weakly tell Togi, "It is good our wedding is close, you have impregnated me, our 1st son is on his way."

"By the Kami, how can you know this."

"Darling the last thing I want to do is cause you to sound foolish, but think on what you just asked...also know our child, of which there will be as many as you wish, and of the sex you wish, will not be birthed as you may think of that, I shall give birth alone according to the old ways of Shinto. Soon I shall explain this to you, know this, our children will be normal mortals, healthy, living normal lives, not as you, but as any one, because my precious love, son and soon husband you have enchantment within you."

"My darling Susi will I ever understand you."

"No my love because I as you was created by the Kami of earth's trees, water, fire, wind and soil...as our children will be, only they will then have normal lives...the 3 months of my pregnancy I shall be alone except for you of course...now question me no more, here my love please allow me to drink of your essence, never deny me this, it is my and our children's life blood."

Later after poor Togi had fainted from exhaustion, as my poor weakened Togi awakes he softly asks, "What caused such a climax as I just felt, as if my insides were drained of all my semen."

"I am so very sorry darling I need it desperately to nurture our children."

"Do not be, that was without a doubt the more exhilarating experience of my life...even though it has left me so terribly weakened."

"Lay close to me darling tomorrow this feeling shall be gone."

Tomorrow brought the French to the throne room and the ambassador asks, "Your majesty we are wondering what your intentions are in Malaysia, a short time ago you took Singapore, now we are thinking you may march on Malaysia."

"Ambassador LaCross, thank you so much for coming I was about to come to you, I have a proposal."

Between Yukiosaki and I secretly hidden behind a door, soon the Ambassador says, "You will not control French interests in Malaysia,, or try to have them removed, as well as Polynesia...and actually enrich these two vassal interests of ours, taking control of Malaysia, but not Polynesia...done, I will contact my government and tell them of this boon to us."

Within days the Russian Ambassador is here asking, "Japan is, it seems on a drive to increase its boundaries the Czar Nickalas has asked me to ask you what your intentions are for Russia, your Imperial Majesty."

"You come to the tiny nation of Japan and ask me if I am stupid enough to take on the great bear if the north, imperial Russia...here Ambassador Kerchoff , relax, have a glass of Sake no my friend I have no such desires, especially to have my military slaughtered by the Might of Russia." After they have their drinks, soon he leaves, I come out and ask, "My lord, might you have a great dinner at which you may explain Japan to the barbarians who are so stupid and cannot see what is happening in Japan, we were closed to the world for centuries, your father opened the door, I among others thought him to be wrong, and possibly he was, but since Japan like a sponge has soaked up all that these other nations have, in that we have become stronger, wiser and yes, ambitious much as the Europeans have been for centuries now the Americans have begun, we are not so naive to not know why Japan has gotten so many foreign offices in such a short time, now the rest of the world wants to know what we are thinking, when for centuries they did not care, allow any nation into world politics and can one expect it to idly set as it is practically taken over by other nations, hardly...although you must also remember the nations of earth have a few centuries on us only in international diplomacy, we on the other hand have centuries on them as an intelligent thinking peoples, so what can they possibly do to trouble us."

"By the Kami Susi you are a genius in diplomacy that is brilliant."

"The nation's whose Ambassadors who are there will see through what I said and know it for its two way street, or double tonguery. I told them what we are, were, wish to be, and can now possibly achieve, at the same time causing them to see it is they who have given this attitude to us now allow me to write this, and elaborate on it, do you wish to have courtesans present...those nasty minded barbarians can easier be duped with sex."

"Now I better understand why Leyasu was afraid of you, Susi I beg of you, never allow me to forget from where I came, and to whom I owe my allegiance." "Please my lord never to me, I to you, but not the descendant of the sun goddess, for you owe no one but the goddess."

So the next day I send a runner to the pleasure palace and soon Connase comes to me, once she's in our apartment she asks, "Are you truly happy my mistress, do you not miss any of what you were."

"Connase, my precious, this is but a point of passing time, what I am, have been and will be again, can never be changed until I am called back from where I came, but to business, next week, Fri a great dinner, many wealthy ambassadors will be here, no charge to them, calculate what it will be, I will pay it, pick only your very best Oiran, use none from other houses, I want no one to get sick in this, but I do want these men coddled and tantalized until they cannot think right, so tell me with you it is well."

"I now wonder why you ever came to me, the attendants you have are wonderfully pleasing."

"Be careful with them they become as blood suckers and never seem to get enough of you."

"Too late, I awake many mornings not remembering when I fell asleep."

"As did I Connase, how sweet their lips and tongue is, are they not, especially the very young ones for they do not swallow their spit and it runs all over your body does it not."

The dinner is held and all goes very well until the Russian ambassador violently overpowers one of the girls he was diddling with, and marks her face, as she screamed and ran from him, I could not control myself and as he comes running after her, passing close to me, unseen by any one I hit him so hard, he falls and cracks his head on a table killing him. Not caring I run to the girl and seeing her face, I burst our in a loud scream, as Togi and others run to me, seeing the poor girl they all just say, "She is a whore so is this not part of what they put up with."

I whisper to Yogi, "Get our guards to take her and I away from these barbarians before my anger spoils everything."

"Yes my lady."

In our suite, Connase has joined us and upon seeing poor Trondi looks to me as she asks, "One of our very best my mistress, that bastard."

Togi looking strangely at me asks, "Our best, explain that Susi."

"She speaks of herself my lord, please both of you leave us."

"No my empress, this woman may leave, I demand to remain."

"Connase, then you remain also, be very still...my precious little Trondi..."

As I cover her face, "Close your eyes darling and remember as you once looked."

Then Togi and Connase hear, "Great and gracious Kami of land, trees, water, fire, earth and mortals, I ask little, I now beg, answer my prayer..."

After an hour I lift my hands from her face and she is as she was. Connase faints, Togi falls back on his pillow, mystified and amazed, as I ask, "Trondi, are you feeling better, look at yourself darling."

As I hold a glass for her to see, she bursts out crying as she grabs me and kisses my lips, prayerfully saying, "My goddess and Empress I have always, but now with more belief, pray and worship you...for you truly are sent from the Kami of earth, a goddess in human form."

"Never say a word of this my precious love, now attend your mistress, my lord, please may we speak alone."

Once we are I drop to the floor wailing my wrong doing, kissing his feet as I plead, "For give me my lord and master, I did not think of what I was doing." "Darling what are you talking about."

"The Russian Ambassador."

"Who tripped fell, hit his head and died, all of us witnessed it, you had nothing to do with his death, now let me hear no more about that, more, tell me what you did there."

"Not I, my love, the Kami, every mortal has their own Kami, with one supreme above them all, he healed Trondi, I only pleaded with him to do so, that was the 1st time I have ever called for help, she was healed because my prayer was totally unselfish not for myself but for her, no one deserves to live life scared as she was by that monster...ooohhh, Togi I have experienced feelings as these toward only one other, this is anger, hatred, revenge...emotions so foreign to me...I must dismiss them I do not wish to have emotions such as these, please my darling may we go to the shrine of Shinto, I must pray, diligently so. You my love will need to sleep, allow me this night of Prayer."

As we go to it, winter has set in and snow in on the ground, as we come under the cherry trees, Togi witness what mortals call a miracle, the snow melts, grasses grow, the trees blossom, it becomes warm, as I see his face,

I reassure him, "Fear not my lord, they are answering my call, I shall be fine, please go to bed, you need your rest. I shall be beside you when you awake."

A week later we are married at the great Shinto Shrine in Osaka, we both wanted a simple small wedding but such was not the case, especially for the Emperor boy of Japan who was more brilliant then any of the foreign Ambassadors who ever talked with him, a small boy of only 15 now, 5-1, and only 90 lbs, wedded to a tinier bride of only 4-8, 66 lbs, my age is listed as 15, so I was not older, for that would not be right, and the next few months were quiet, Yuki and I did not take a honeymoon as such because of the expected problems we knew would come, if not from Europe, then surely Russia, instead we went to one of the garden houses on the palace grounds the night of our wedding, after a brief reception in the palace as we stand facing one another in our little honeymoon garden house, he shakes his head, as my love says, "I am speechless Susi, you actually married me, can you know what I feel, for I have heard you speaking to me since before I was born, I think that's when I fell in love with you."

"I want you in my arms, your body covering mine, & your lips pressed tightly against mine, nothing else matters now, let all words remain unsaid until we have consummated our wedding, and eternal love for one another."

As it was that glorious 1st time we so loved one another, we witnessed the rising sun before we fell asleep."

And so we did, and as the sun came up we were still in the rapturous bounds of one another's arms, blissfully fucking our brains out. Then 2 days later General Consumato, council member and chief general of the military knocks on our door, as Togi opens it he kneels as he says, "I am so terribly sorry your Majesties but the Russians are sending people here to investigate the death of Ambassador Kerchoff, it seems he was an uncle to the czar, and they bring another Ambassador."

"Please come in General, my love, Susi you heard."

"Yes my lord, our honeymoon is over for now, you must not allow these barbarians to have access to our royal palace or its grounds...darling please may I speak in front of General Consumato."

"General you know my wife's knowledge of international affairs and intelligence."

"Yes ,my emperor, empress, I have and always will not only honor you, but worship and pray to you, your thinking please."

"My lords, alert the military, Russia is ready to attack us."

So Yuki tells him, "Send our naval forces to the coast of Russia, as soon as they launch, sink them, our ships and gunnery is superior to theirs, we'll stop them before they begin, do you suggest any other plan Empress Susiama."

"Yes my lord husband, send ships up over Russia, with our very best army special forces, attack from the Artic sea, with stealth, take Moscow, that move will break their back and most of all, spirit."

The general looks at me amazed as he says, "By the Kami, your majesty, empress Susiama is a military genius, even Cesar never did anything so bold and daring. At once your majesties."

The Russians were using ball and cap we repeating rifles, we had war ships, they barges they thought they would ferry the troops to Japan, they died just off the coast of Russia, Moscow fell in a week of siege the Czar asked for an audience, and came to Tokyo to talk to us, although my throne is lower than the emperors, I am in on all matters of state, so as Czar Nickolas, stands before us I ask, "Sir, if we were in your throne room we would honor you by bowing, do we deserve less...rather as our prisoner, on your knees."

Togisaki asks him, "You are here what do you want."

"Spare me and my family great emperor of the Japanese empire."

"I had no intentions of doing other wise, you will of course by stripped of your wealth, it split between out treasury and feeding the starving millions in your nation who even now you have little regard for, coming here to plead your own life. I shall even allow you to return and continue as Czar of Russia, except you'll need to find some way of providing for your family."

"Great emperor I am pleading with you allow me my personal wealth, and allow me to live here."

"We have enough foreigners here with the different ambassadors, you will be taken back to where they found you, General Consumato be sure and find all the Czar's wealth I know it is monstrous."

Then I speak up, "And General we wish all the people of Russia to be taken care of, if you either do not find enough or there is not enough talk to us, we shall provide more, emperor, I humbly plead hear me, these subjects will be loyal subject of ours if we give them peace, food & respect and raise their dignity...as we have learned else where those who are loyal subjects are far easer to govern and recruit from if needed...also General we will not stand for mass rapping, or unnecessary brutality...we hold you personally accountable...and for your devotion you shall have the governor ruler under H.I.M. emperor of the Japanese empire."

The poor man does not know who to look at, so Togi tells him, "General the empress and I are always of one mind, if either of us speak the other knows what will be said."

"If I may your majesties, never has a nation known such rulers as we have, so wise, and knowing, my life is yours, if I fail you in any way."

Later when we are alone Togi tells me, "It was as if you were reading my mind, we truly are of one mind my precious Susi."

"Togi, my time is nearing, no one can see me from now on except you. Darling trust me in this, I need no help in what must be done from this point on."

"Are you well Susi."

"Well does not cover my emotions now, joy, happiness, for soon I shall present you with your 1st son, there shall be no time that we cannot love one another nor will I ever become large, because with me, there is no pregnancy as such, better you see what I am talking about rather than me trying to explain it."

He passionately kisses me and asks, "May I still have you my love."

"Oh yes darling every time you so desire, as many times a day, or night...now come with me."

We go out in the orchard where, I take a small seed looking object and place it in the hollow on the base of an old cherry tree, as I tell Yuki, "Now in 3 months your son will emerge from this tree opening."

"Just like that...I am having a difficult time understanding."

"As do I my lord, but this is what the Kami has told me to do, how else can I proceed."

For weeks after that he walks around looking lost, then the Russian problem becoming worse, poor Yuki becomes too busy, until a few months later Togi is setting on his throne, during a council meeting, as I appear from a door way, and ask, "My lords, if I may, I present to you the emperor's 1st son."

Poor Togi is so mystified and surprised he just sets there, as I walk to him, kneel and hold out our son and ask, "I pray my lord and master that you will be pleased with my offering to you."

Totally losing his composure he takes the child, leans closer to me and waits for my kiss, the hall goes silent as we embrace kissing, then as we pull away he asks, "May our Council members see our son, Empress Susiama." Turning I tell them, "He sleeps, please if you will look but please do not awake him."

After Togi asks, "I have seen babies before, ours does not look like as others do, they were red and wilted looking."

"They, my lord had spent 9 months swimming in a pool of liquid...our darling little wood sprit did not."

"Please Susi may I know, you never looked pregnant, you brought him to me right after you birthed him, which must have caused you pain."

"Darling I held him within me far longer than I had to, simply because mortal babies take 9 months, our children take 3, the 1st 6 to satisfy the 9 month time, but right after you impregnated me when he was so small one would not be able to see him, as I did 3 months ago when I planted our little wood Sprite seed, he came from the oldest and largest cherry tree just hours ago, which will nurture all our children, but now he needs my breast nipples, water, as soon as he can eat, then he will shed what of him is wood sprite and grow naturally as a mortal...why this look my lord."

"This is so unbelievably...what, cute, prefect, magical...how do I name what I feel." "My beloved name our son."

"Are you thinking of what I am, now do not test my intelligence I know you can."

"Yukisaki Sakura Toshama, part your name and mine, but please believe darling other than in affairs of state I do not practice seeing your thoughts." "Why not, then if I lust for another even in my mind you will know." "That is why, for you are a man and men cannot keep from admiring lovely women, and darling selfishness from the sprite in me, would cause me untold amount of jealousy, so I would rather not know. Now love me Togi, it has been far too long since I felt you deep within me."

"My darling we made love last night."

"I know, but I need your essence orally now, much of it, to feed our little sprite."

The general was good to his word, although he did publicly execute a few of his soldiers for raping girls, within a year the population was working feeding themselves, and begging to see the wonderful emperor and empress who saved them from the Czar. But no sooner had we taken Russia, then the Americans, English, Chinese, French, Italians and only the Kami knows who else was all but breaking down the gate to the palace demanding we, of all asshole things, reinstate the Czar and leave Russia, so I ask Yuki, "Instead of talking to these barbarians separately have a large gathering of them all, and after telling them why we needed to do what we did, ask them to send people to Russia and witness for themselves how much better the people of Russia are living, this is the largest humanitarian thing any nation on earth has done since time began."

That done, we still had problems, a fleet of ships came within seeing distance of Japan shortly and seemed to anchor just setting there, our fishing boat captains asked to see us, so in the council hall 10 of them gathered tell us, "The ships off our coast are scaring off the fish, do we not have some rights to the waters around Japan."

So Yuki replies, "Well said sir, I shall see to it these ships are moved far enough away so your fishing will not be slowed."

After conferring with the admiral Sisatoga

of our navy, he sends a lone ship flying a white flag and talks to the commander of the fleet, finding that they are both American and English and over 50 of them, with double rows of cannons and after he asks them to move further out, because they are interfering with our fishing one of Japan's main sources of food, he simply tells them there is no boundaries on water, they will be here rotating ships until Japan relinquishes Russia what we did is considered an act of war, and if we do not follow what they demand they will attack in force."

So after we hear that, I ask, "Council members it is time for the Emperor and I to go to Russia, and with us enough military to try to get around to as many of the Russian people as possible, telling them what the rest of the world is wanting us to do, and if they wish it, we shall, but if they do not, then let the world know, write letters, whatever can be done to save these people from future starvation, within a week of little Yuki being born my love asks, "You control when you become with child, so we do not need to be concerned, nor do we need to wait." "Precious may I remind you the children you have now and for the next possibly 50 years, will die before you do."

If I had shot him he would not have looked so bad, slowly he asks, "Can they not live longer."

"My sweet darling a very special thing was done for me with you, I dare not ask more, special circumstances existed then, I asked to take me if they needed to, to have you be what I pleaded for, I was given you, but I know my request will cost me some time, I answer to the Kami, and he is a demanding spirit, had I thought far enough ahead possibly I could have done something then, it is you I needed, especially in my life, I have told you sprites are too selfish creatures, we will hold on until we are literally forced to quit. That is how I am with you, ooohhh...Togi...I need you so very badly."

After, because it is that we find time to pleasure ourselves on one another's bodies many times daily, even if they are very quick, or oral sex, which I do a few times daily, he asks, "Please Susi tell me more of you."

"Let me tell you a story, it will seem like a fairy tail but it is a sprit tail, mine, fairies are difficult creatures to deal with, they know they are better then we, so they keep pushing that on us, although they rarely harm us, we must constantly put up with their meanness, because they have sexes, and we do not, even though they do not reproduce as mortals do, but spring from water lilies."

"Wait, tell me more about the creature in the middle earth too."

"Please darling what do you wish me to tell you 1st."

"About your middle earth's creatures."

Kissing his lips I tells Togi, "Have I told today how deep my love is for you, it is, 1st the goblins, Trolls, and Gnomes eat pixies, brownies, and sprits...it frightens me to even say the name Goblin, they are such horror able creatures, trolls are almost as bad, gnomes mostly like to catch us and tease us until we no longer have strength to be frightened, then they eat us, right under these 3, are fairies, who are so conceded, they are big enough to easily be seen so they think they are better then the brownies and sprites, but a little like the other three they are not fast enough, especially to catch us, and the brownies are few and stay out in the deep wooded areas, living in trees, and under ground we on the other hand also live in trees, but higher up, and there are more sprites than all the others put together, if we had the kind of thinking mortals have we could easily overpower all our enemies but, fear, meanness, hatred, anger, revenge, all have no meaning to us, we are so quick, you have no idea of how difficult it is for me to get the others to slow down enough so mortals can see us, but since my family all loves one another so much they do that for me, Togi, I am nothing special in my world, just another of millions upon millions of sprites, except the Kami gave me mortal form, there fore my kind see me as a very foolish wood sprite, and although they will assist me, they tease me terribly every time...please darling may I finish later, I do so want to be in your arms."

A few days alter we leave for Moscow and 1st meeting with a group of civilians who advised the Czar so we tell them, "Practically all the other nations are demanding we leave Russia, so we want the Russian to tell us if they want us to leave also, at which time we will, but if not, then there has to be a way this vote can be gotten to the heads of these nations."

"Empress please my savors you have given us back our pride, jobs, I actually make enough to provide for my family, this is the 1st time I ever could, so we will do this, not for you, but for us, if you will supply us with enough Rublies we can go to the capitals of these...sorry for my terminology, dumb bastards, who know nothing of how we lived under the Czar and make them see how you have made us human again."

"General...if you will, please help this man organize this, try to get it done as fast as you can remembering we have a fleet of 50 ships off our coast ready to invade, and although I see sooner than I like we will be at war with another nation I would like to put it off as long as possible. Now Emperor Yukiosaki, this you must not do, because we do not wish to tempt fate, but I am going into the streets to talk to the Russian people myself."

"Yes your majesty I shall have 20 men protecting you, as well as one of our newest armored cars."

"From a distance General, if we cannot feel relaxed in our own nation, then we should not be here."

"Empress, please you can be kidnapped, shot, or beaten."

"I do not think so general we have given these people a new life in the 1st month, by now they all are operating and providing well fore their families."

So with my armed escort a block behind me, I walk down next to a street outside of Moscow, soon this little boy stops me and asks, "Are you her." Smiling I ask, "Who, her."

"You can't be, the empress of Japan is a very serious lady, you are Japanese aren't you."

Then her father walks out of his house and tells her, "Elexi how many times have I told you to not talk to strangers, I am sorry Miss, but you kno...

"He stops reaches in his pocket, pulls out a drawing of `me, and gasps as he falls to him knees, begging, "Empress, please for give a dumb farmer, please come in to my home, we have little but you are welcome."

Inside I ask, "You are not getting enough food for your family."

"Oh yes we eat better than we ever have, my meaning was that we are still in this little house, we move soon, but now this is all we have for rooms, empress is it true money was taken from you accounts to provide for us."

"Yes and more will be used, until every person in Russia is eating properly, housed right and has work so you can make what you need, all the Czar's wealth is in statuary, pictures, and only the great Kami knows what else, so until that is found, sold and exchanged into Rublies this seems the only way, once that is done hopefully some of our personal wealth will find its way back to us, but as Empress of Japan for me to be wealthy while you were starving...no, I will not keep filthy wealth, it is better used feeding those who need feeding. Our sciencetis and engineer will come to find mineral sources, every person who needs work here will have it, plus trading we have things you need you have things we need, we shall put all our geniuses together and build Russia up to where Japan is, from there we all shall build a larger, stronger and more powerful military, guns, a thing we call a tank, give us a year and there will be more work paying good wages then Russia has men to fill, here is something I wrote telling the Russian people what is happening else where in the world read it carefully, then tell us what you think you can do to help, because if we do not win this, Japan will be forced out of Russia, and what will happen to you all, I wish I knew, once the Russian people help us convince the world you want to be Japanese citizens, so it shall be. Sir do you not have daughters." "they were taken from us to supply Russia soldiers women."

"Do they send you any money for them sexually pleasing Russian soldiers."

"No, they are sex slaves for the Russians."

"Not any more, I abolished selling women who are allowing men to use them and the woman is a slave, any one caught doing it is executed. Even our own soldiers who raped girls here were publicly killed so all can see we mean what we say...your food is very good. But I must be going, please follow up on this."

In another home the man had little to say and the wife wasn't allowed to speak, until I said, "I can see how better living for you is since the Czar no longer rules Russia."

"You invaded us, took our beloved Czar Nickelas, now you are stripping him of his wealth, how do you expect the Russian people to think you are anything but conquerors...this charity, we want to work for what we need not have it given to us."

"You will it is easier to work when you have food in your belly."

"Well I don't care who you call yourself, we know the empress of Japan would never going walking around alone, in fact after looking at your jewelry, I think I shall take these from you, then I will have enough Rubles to buy what I want."

"So you are a thief and never worry about feeding your family or whatever."

"Yes, and I'm damn good at it too, now just fork over what you are wearing and then get your yellow ass out of my home."

And he pulls out a long knife, so I reply, "Since I am the empress, and if you rob me, I shall send men here to lock you up, if you take anything from me, you'd better murder me, which is a shame in front of these children unless you have them trained already to rob and murder."

By now my military guards wondering what was taking so long were our side the door, listening, so I tell the asshole, "Let us for get the whole thing, I am leaving, if you try to stop me, you are the one who be jailed."

So since he is as dumb as he acted he grabs me, my guards rush in as I disarm him and flip him on his ass, and I tell them, "Be sure and have these poor children sent somewhere safe, not for them but possibly they have been taught to steal, Yuki had to go back to Japan because now the French were demanding to see him, I stayed in Russia for a week before I leave for Japan, and as Yuki and I meet he tells me, "We now have problems with the French they want Malaysia back, and us out of Polynesia. I purposely left it with no reply, I very much will like you to handle this, since you speak French." "I will calm him and have what has been done remain so." Any problems."

"Not really, every good person I spoke to is defiantly on our side of this stupidity." Later that day the French Ambassador comes back and seeing me only asks, "Where is the emperor."

"Please sir, set here next to me, think on this, Malaysia is now doing better than it ever has, the populations incomes are higher, more raw material is either mined or made and exported, with Singapore part of Malaysia more finished products also are exported, we have spent millions building Malaysia there is no way we can walk away from these investments, and now with nations sailing farther, Polynesia will soon be one place where they all will be looking hard especially since there is the largest source of pearls on earth, all we are doing is protecting your interests, and giving us another close trading pardoner, I am so very sorry sir, but our investments have gone far too high to lose now, there is no problem here, are the French so willing to go to war over nothing, this was brought about because of our interest in Russia, soon the world will hear from the Russian people as to what their wish is, to be free of Japan or to be a part of Japan."

After 2 months all these nations who were so apoplectic and it seemed as if we were actually going to get a honeymoon, 2 years had passed, little Togi is a demon on wheels, probably because he has two teenagers raising him, so Yuki tells me, "It is time, little Yuki and I want you to tell us about middle earth."

"I wondered how long it would take you to get me talking about my home, is little Yuki old enough to hear some of this, it gets rather graphic."

"He either will understand it or not."

"Then I shall give it a try, goblins are the most mean minded, ill tempted of all creatures in the middle earth, they'll eat most anything, but enjoy fairies, pixies, brownies and sprites best of all, they only live in very large wooded areas, thick under growth and they are so slow, and dumb, they never created weapons, learned to ride a horse, know what a wheel is, their clothing is mostly cloth, they stole from Gnomes, or none at all, since they do not have fire, they eat everything raw, never save any food, catch it and eat it, sleep all day and hunt all night, bumping into trees, falling over logs, I often have wondered how they mange to stay so fat, except they do eat soft bark from trees, soft rotten wood, ants, termites, frogs, snakes, lizards, if they have anything they do not eat, we never found out what it is, trolls are almost as bad, they have most of the same ways about them except they're smaller, lighter, but as silly as it sounds slower, and dumber so dumb they do not know what they like to eat so they will eat anything they can chew, or swallow whole, and if that happens to be one of us, a fairy. Pixie or brownie, they'll eat it clothing and all. Since we tiny ones never go out at night, we're like the hummingbird, once the sun does down we more or less stop, except in middle earth where it stays the same all day, although there is no sun, it is magically lit and looks like a shaded area, in the darkened places is where these nasty creature hide hoping one of us will be dumb enough to go there, Gnomes are very gentle creatures, very hard workers, never bothering any one, who farm, and mine, especially for gold, diamonds, silver, they make great weapons, and sell them to the elves and dwarfs, they could sell them to the goblins and trolls, but neither one would know what to do with a knife or sword

elves are trouble makers, they love to mess things up as terribly as they can, farmers equipment of any kind, their homes are wherever they choose, if it happens to be in a city, look out, because the more mortals around the more things do not work as they should, their diet is like the troll, if it is soft enough it must be good to eat, also anything dead, they like the dwarfs are born thieves, if they can carry it, it is not where it was left, pixies are all fun, like us, they feed like us, anything liquid, with pixies we go to the tiny ones, for Pixies, Fairies, and Sprites are very tiny, and normally move fast enough that mortals never see them, but if you are setting reading, or studying and cannot figure out why different parts of your body keep wanting to be scratched this is why, because pixies and sprites love nothing more than to cause mortals problems, too tiny to steal, or eat, they suck all of what they eat, only liquids, so you may leave a glass of water out on a table, only to find it empty the next morning, but since you must have drank it, because no one else is around...so it goes, we specialize in confusing mortals teasing other creatures the Kami put on earth, small enough so we can, rats, rabbits, mice, ducks, chickens, also we drink almost any liquid, the most desirable is human or any animals semen, the vaginal fluid of women, these are harder to get from other animals, except when they sleep, mortals think nothing of laying down and falling asleep nude, males wake some times having experienced a wet dream, the ones who gave it to them is us, get a 100 or more buzzing around a man's penis, and he'll pop in no time, with women we only stimulate their vagina, and the juices flow, spit, what we can get out of a person's nose, flacks of skin, sweat, when two people are making love we have a feast, and there is nothing as wonderfully satisfying as having a few 100 pixies or Sprites stimulating a man's penis, his ejaculation is so powerfully pleasing it damn near renders him passed out from exhaustion, Sprites out number all the others 100 to one, if we could be organized we would never have any enemies, but pixies and sprites are so silly all they can do is feed and play, but like the hummingbird, we play, feel starved, eat so we can play, if you've ever seen a dog chasing his tail, he is not chasing it but us, squirrels are the most dangerous ones to tease, because of their speed, far too many pixies and sprites have been eaten by them as we were just teasing them, small birds too, the smaller the creature, the faster they are, the more of us lose our lives, but there is no sense of lose in us, we cannot seem to realize what happened to any who are no longer, in fact we do not even notice them gone. Since no one is related, and certain emotions are foreign to us, such as fear, friendship, love, desire, hatred, since we're sexless, we form no attachment, there are just so many of us, every bud on trees, dies because a new sprit has sucked all its nectar, every time wave crests and sprays, more sprits are created and since time does not exist for us, we live forever...unless some darn goblin eats us, now speaking of being eaten, goblins swallow us whole, so since we can exist within a body, we give them fits, and make them so sick, they vomit, and we are freed...oh, please you two, you would have me go on forever, but I tire, may we pick this up some time later."

Yuki then asks, "Can you do one thing for our son, he should experience this from the time he is young on through his life, so he will never forget from where you came."

"It always excites me also, so of course."

"Excites you, why, do you long to be there."

"Never my dearest love, there I was a sexless sprit, who had no knowledge of the joys and splendor of knowing I love some one and he loves me deeply also, going from not knowing the word love, to having you, excites me greatly."

Yuki pulls me to him and presses his lips against mine until he pulls away and I ask, I'n front of little Yuki my lord."

"Where else my darling some day he will experience your sexual pleasures, he might as well see how overwhelming you are even now, you certainly will not deny your son the most fantastic experience he will ever have, when you have not any other of your family. I know you talk to him in the night, as you did me and I do not know how many other your princes."

"I do not know you would want me to my darling, I have given my self solely to you."

"Nonsense, especially since he will never wear the crown he must be given you, who is even far more rewarding then a simple crown, when is the proper age for you to start tantalizing him."

"Any time now."

"You will allow me to be present."

"I would not wish to have this any other way my lord."

"Although he is here and has heard all this, tell our son what awaits him now."

So turning to our son I tell him, "My precious, you saw what your father just did to me as we kissed and embraced one another, will you allow us to do that."

After a pleasant time of kissing little Togi until he falls asleep contented and happy that I am so loving to him, then Togi and I love one another until he tires and falls asleep. a few days later Togi asks, "Let us go to Polynesia for a vacation, honeymoon, I shall ask General Consumato to come from Russia to over see the nations affairs while we are gone, he has Russia in control and a good 2nd man under him who he assures me will be as resourceful as he during a time he is gone."

"If I may ask my lord, why Polynesia."

"I want to see why the French Ambassador keep raving about it."

"How many shall we have with us, and do you wish to bring Togi."

"Do not think you can deceive me by asking that, I dare not leave him for fear of encoring your displeasure."

"What did I say to cause you to think this."

"Not what you said, the way you said it."

So soon we are on a large ship that was rebuilt for our yacht, we stop in Polynesia and look over our investments there, especially the pearl business, on one of the docks where the men sent out to the oyster beds as we talk to one of the drivers he tells us, "It's really a wonderful world down there, like floating on air."

"Oh, no," I say, "I could never go in the water, I fear water, except for bathing in a tub."

"Oh now empress, the sea sprites are friendly in these waters."

"Really," I reply, "you have seen them."

"They must be, because they look nothing like fish." "how large are they." " 2-4 inches."

"Oh, interesting."

Later Togi asks, "Are sea sprites that large."

"No...not even close." So little Togi asks, "mother are sea sprites the same as you." "Oh my darling you were paying attention, yes my love, we have no difference between us, but never tell a sea sprit that, or a wood sprit, because each one knows they are better than the other, it was not until I came to be of mortal form did I realize the difference between water sprites, river, lake, sea, falls, & wood sprites is so tiny, we actually cannot see it either, the thing being we never get close enough to one of the others to see there is no difference, today, on that dock, I was frightened so much, that is the 1st time I have ever been so close to water before, except my bath, which is silly because there is nothing that can harm me." That evening in our suite, little Togi asks, "May I have more of you tonight mother, what you did felt so nice."

Turning to his father I ask, "Will you do what you did last night."

"Certainly my precious love."

So I hold him in my arms kissing his small lips and telling him of my love for him, as he drifts off to sleep, Togi and I make love after and when he is asleep I laid thinking of how good the Kami had provided for me in this life, and wondered if I was always truly following what he would have me do, so getting up I go to the small shrine we brought with us, and pray for guidance, not having seen it had almost been day light when I started soon Togi is kneeling beside me, so I ask, "What are you doing up my love...oh...the sun has risen...how time gets away from me, especially when I am with the two dearest ones in my life...I really must have a little rest, have we somewhere we must be early my lord."

"No my precious, come I shall lie next to you." But we were woke by little Togi asking, "Are we not going to see a famous mountain today."

Shaking sleep from our eyes, Togi replies, "a volcano my son."

After that as we are walking along a gorgeous beach, Togi asks, "As terrible as it may sound I have not seen a thing we do not have in Japan."

"Nor I my lord, why do we not return, I enjoyed that small garden house so much, but we had so little time in it, our home beckons us my precious darling may we not go back."

"Let us do something decadent...smoke from opium, drink Sake until we are dopey, ban every one from the orchard, and run around nude until we are tempted by one another's bodies and fuck like rabbits, but now I wish to ravish this so delightfully tiny irresistible body that renders me helpless before you." "My lord I cry with anticipation of you doing that very thing."

We set sail and stayed in our cabin tempting one another beyond mortal comprehension all the way back, and especially having our son here with us so he may see the joy and pleasure we have in loving one another, once there we did as we said, bring Togi with us and me diddling his little peter, until he falls asleep each evening then Yuki and I go crazy fucking ourselves delirious.

A few years later after little Togi is in School Togi and I set out to visit our now many out laying areas, we had been in Russia right after it became part of the Japanese Empire but not since; so 1st we go there, and in St. Petersburg at the Hermitage which was the winter home of the Czars, now a museum of the lesser valued art he had, because we had stripped him of all his wealth to feed the nations starving as we walked around it, many Russian families were there too, and it always seems that young girls gravitate toward me, possibly because my aura brings them to me, this darling young girl asks me, "Are you from Japan."

Yuki loves watching me at this, so I kneel next to her as I reply, "Yes my darling I am from Tokyo."

"Have you ever seen the empress, I am told she is beautiful, like you."

Then there father asks, "I am sorry Miss, is she botheri...you are the empress, aren't...and there is the emperor, family kneel, it is the emp..."

Togi now used to what I cause to happen reassures the man, "Please sir do not kneel we are all visiting this wonderful museum let us not have divisions between us."

The poor man is speechless, so his wife asks, "Are you enjoying St. Petersburg, we live here, come often to show our children this."

"You truly have a great city, we love it and it is so interesting."

Then of their little girls asks,

"No one will ever believe we really spoke to you, is there any way we can prove it." "Yes my precious, here is a 25,000 Yen note, it has the emperor's name written on it, he will sign it, under where his name is, all see you must have."

Later back in our hotel, Togi tells me, "All because of you, I am probably the most loved emperor ever...the way everywhere we go the people seem to love us so deeply."

"Is that not as it should be my lord, and with you, because of your benevolence I think it would be whether I was with you or not."

"That is my meaning darling, would I be this giving if you were not more of my life then I am."

"That is a sweet thing to say my love, but I would hate to think you are right, and I am actually the only true giver between us. We went from there to Korea, where after what seemed like a nice visit, our procession of cars carriages ambushed, most of our guards killed the my precious love kidnapped. At the palace in Tuosing the capital I with others waited to hear from the kidnapers as to their demands, soon a young girl came and gave us their demands, they want Korea free of Japan rule, so I ask General Chin Ho who is governor of Korea, "If this has been how our people here feel why have we not been told before this."

"Empress, they mean to kill the emperor, this has to be a very small group of dissents. What is your wish."

Put this out where all may see it, the empress of the Japanese empire will be...tell me a very deserted place."

"On the north side out side the city, but empress, possibly you will be killed also." "I will be there, alone and waiting for them to see me."

To my good luck it is summer so at least I was not cold during the 2 days I waited, them 4 men came and asks, "Why would we want to talk to you."

"Without a word I tear into them like a wild cat, killing two, breaking the legs of the other two, then ask, "Where is the emperor."

"Kill us and he will die."

I drag them into an old building and torture them until I learn where he is, and go there, strip so I am nude and storming in like a herd of bulls, I actually kill another 4 men, getting knifed 3 times, but find my love tied to a chair in another room, after untying him I ask, prayerfully, "Are you alright, did they harm you."

"Where are the guards."

"I came alone."

Speechless he looks at the dead men, and sees them actually splattered like the pigs they are, then asks ,"Alone...you did this."

"I would have killed a 100 if need be, come my love let us leave."

After the general after having seen these, he tells us, "We have been looking for these men they killed one of my staff, but empress how...you were alone."

"My knowledge of martial arts is 2nd to none, I am sorry none are alive to tell us if there are others, but I had little time to risk how I stopped them...oh, back where I was waiting there are two with broken legs, get them general and let me question them, they will tell me what we want to know, so after I torture them terribly we find the rest of this group and have a public execution announcing there if any one has problems with our rule over Korea, come directly to us, there are always ways to solve problems without resorting to this. From there we go back to Japan because I told Togi, "No more chances, will we take with our lives, they are far too importance to the empire. A few Years later I plant another wood sprit seed and soon our daughter is born, our son Togisaki away at school, and once Tuni is old enough I, in such a long time, have the softness of a young girls touch on my skin, and my darling Togi has learned archaeology and is digging for a hobby, we take a trip to the old palace in Osaka and he goes into the cellar while the children and I wander around this large empty castle, and discover how drab some place can become once no one lives there, and there are so many dark places until I tell my children, "We must leave these dark places, they frighten me, so Tuni asks, "Mother are you really afraid of the dark."

"Then I realized I could not say yes, for she would be then, so I reply, "it is just this old building darling let us go out side."

Then our son Yukase who I talk to very much at night in his dreams, tells Tuni, "Don't you remember anything mother was a sprite, goblins are in dark areas, she does not like being in dark places because of that."

"Mother," Tuni asks, "is that right, I do not remember you telling me that."

"It was old ago darling, when you were very young...but Yukase you are not supposed to repeat those things I tell you."

When we get out side there is Togi who has dug something out of the cellar, so I ask, "A box...have you opened it."

"Not yet, I think I will wait until we get back, so I can have a mask on just in case." "Let me touch it...yes, perhaps it will be better if you open it alone, there is nothing in it that can harm you, but I do not want the children to see."

After that we rode back to Tokyo, having to stop alone the way, but now new are there and I tell Togi, "I really do not enjoy travel I like our home too much."

"Have you not spent enough time in the palace to grow bored with it."

"How can you ask that, become tired of the royal palace of the Japanese emperor, where any woman is honored beyond her ability to express by being his empress." "That is a question I have for you, since you can modify your surroundings to satisfy yourself, why do you never seek the throne before this."

"I am far too playful a sprite to wish responsibility upon myself, until now, I had never been caused to have problems with any of the past emperors and since we all were lovers, my thoughts were only on them, when your father turned on me, I looked to the future emperor for the 1st time, and determined to see to it you were what Japan needed most, a true intelligent, but humble man who will rule with responsibility, being fair to all and still insistent. My love as much as I hate to bring this up, since it seems dissatisfied groups want freedom, we still must travel among our subjects to enforce our close commitment to them, please my lord, may I then go on this next trip alone."

"Would it not be better to extend your protective power over me, because I will not allow you to go alone."

I kiss his lightly and reply, "This is why my love for you is so deep my precious, you are willing to over see my will so easily, even when you know, I can even more easily, change your attitudes about it."

"Have you not promised you will not do that."

"Yes, but it still takes a strong man to enforce his will over a magical creature." Tuni was standing near us as I said that, and quickly asks, "Mother are you really magical."

"Oh, my sweet girl, you know I am, how many times have we played a magical game."

"Please may I get Yukase to be with us, can the 4 of us go this time."

So Togi asks, "What are you talking about Tuni."

"Get your brother darling your father has never played this game."

When the 4 of us are setting in a circle, holding hands I say, "now close you eyes, and think of flying over us and looking down upon the palace grounds...now open your eyes and look down, but be care do not fall off this cloud."

As our children laugh and giggle, poor Togi, weakly asks, "Are we actually flying, and if so on what."

"Oh, Togi, stop being so pragmatic enjoy this while it lasts. Now you better begin believing or it will vanish and the children will be angry with you for spoiling their fun, after a time we are back where we were, and Togi asks, "Was that real or did you just hypnotize our minds into believing it."

So Tuni tells him, "Oh daddy please learn to except what you witness without trying to explain it."

"Tuni," I scold her, "Naughty, you should never speak to your father in that tone of voice, I do not, nor should you, after all, Yukiosaki is emperor of all the Japanese empire..."

Smiling I then say, "He can have us boiled in oil for less."

So then Togi tells us, "A far better way to deal with disrespectful subjects is to tickle them into submission."

And so starts a tickling session that causes us all to end up crying because of so much laughing. Later after the children have gone to bed, Togi and I open the box, inside we find the bones of an infant along with a golden necklace, with a very large diamond on it, so I ask, "Does this mean anything to you my love."

"No, obviously some poor woman in the royal family had an unwanted child, but who, and by whom, I have no idea, let us read in the histories of our family and see if we can find who did this."

Which is a dumb idea because the last place it will be is written in the imperial families history, so we put the diamond with the rest of the crown jewels, and bury the poor little person whoever he or she was, but after a proper Shinto burial the one's Kami comes to me, and tells me the story of a young daughter of the emperor Geiji of whom I knew well, I was his mistress for a long time, then the daughter comes to my mind, she was there in the palace for only short time before Geiji sent her away to school, which was never done back then, my precious Geiji, knew his daughter was with child, so he sent her away to have it, but she never returned, so why was the child put in a box and buried under the palace, days passed, as we went about our family business, but this mystery haunted me, until finally it became known to me, Geiji brought his daughter back locked her away, leaving the box with her to ever remind her of her shame...the young man who did this was boiled in oil, as the daughter watched, such a heartless bastard Geiji was, and I his favorite Courtesan,

how terribly blind with my love for him was I, that I missed this horror able piece of my families history and the viciousness of a man I loved so dearly. I choose to not tell Togi, it would only hurt him to think any emperor could have been so hurtful toward his own daughter, but is this any different from the way Japan has felt about baby girls from the beginning of time, a woman is useless unless she can bring pleasure to a man, and we start these poor girls out so very young, myself chief among the wrong doers...but is it really wrong, to take a girl from a family who does not want her, give her a pleasing life and shower her with love, no, I think not. Every 10 or so years I plant another wood sprit seed in the old cherry tree and know before hand if it will be a boy or girl so we have 7 girls and 15 boys, and as I told Togi, some died of natural causes before he was gone, simply because of the long life I had given him, it was interesting having so many children, some were away at school others living here, tottlers, a baby in a crib, as no one could say the palace was too quiet, rather it was like a children's play ground, as I looked ahead I saw who will be the next emperor and I begin tutoring him nightly Prince Layeasu, was only 3 when I knew he would follow my love on the throne, so nightly I came to him, teaching him about governments, societies, as well as poetry music, and calligraphy so he will have a good education and in not only government but the arts. Connase left my house and went I believe to China, and little by little my house emptied as more of the Oiran left to wed or go on their own, until it was empty again, but my life was so full I had little time to concern myself with that, for even with nannies, when one has this many children one's life cannot help but be busy, so as I have gone so many times before I slipped into loves deepest cavern and gloried in my good fortune, teaching my young children the joys of being a sprite, as well as realizing that is only within one's mind and most never be spoken to others about. Because of the attempts on Yukiosaki's life each time we travel, I set out to look over the empire alone, with a full company of palace guards, naturally, we go 1st back to Moscow where I again go out into the people and talk with them about our governing and if we are fair with them, since we 1st took over Russia we have recruited 1000s into our military, and now have a few generals from Russia, as part of a military no other nation dares to try, not only because of number, but advanced weaponry, since our fleets cover most of the seas now, and we have foreign offices in every major nation on earth plus an attachment of troops, our largest ally China, even though it is weak, it has large land mass, so we have many troops there also, in a small district in Moscow as I casually walk down the side walk a man comes out of a house and knees, as he asks, "Empress...I beg of you, a word." "Rise my man do not humble yourself before me, I am the same as you another mortal on this earth, how may I be of assistance to you." "Please your majesty, come in my humble dwelling...my son joined the army, since I have become unable to work, I have tried to get him home, but the army refuses, can nothing be done."

I ask my captain of the guard, "Take this man's name, find his son and have him released, if circumstances in his family are as he says...also have the son talked to, make sure this is as it should be."

Captain Penase tells me, "If I may your majesty, this is one poor family, can we take time to do this."

"Captain...it is a terrible matter that the empress of this great nation knows so little of her subjects needs, please do not cause it to be worse then it is...sir you shall have your son home if indeed he will be the only one working to support this family, if although you seek to defuse the truth from me, you had better find a place to hide, for as giving as I may be, to those who tend to lie to me, I become their executioner."

To his good fortune he was telling the truth and his son wanted very much to be home helping, later as Captain Penase and I are talking he asks, "Empress you are so giving, warm and try to be so close to your subjects, those of us in your escort, often wonder if these people know how good they have it because of you."

"Penase, may I refer to you as such, when one is on the bottom looking up one seldom sees who is either pushing them down or lifting them up, all they see is the difference, then praises whoever it is that caused it, not actually knowing that person at all...my heart breaks more each time I realize this, man's inhumanity to man is the most heart breaking thing we have to deal with, and Penase this does not even come close to what girls have done to them, under bad conditions raped to death, as men laugh at them for their weaknesses, if the women of earth ever had control, men would be in a very bad way."

"But your majesty, that will never happen."

"Truly you are correct, it is and always will be a man's world. I fear our next stop Penase, stay close to me, have many men with us, remember the emperor was kidnapped in Korea."

"I also remember your majesty, you killed 8 men rescuing him, and with your bare hands, truly you are a great warrior."

"Or the great Kami was with me Penase."

We had a nice visit in Korea, and no problems then on to the coastal areas of China, Shanghai where my way of dressing was cheered by all the women I was near, they even liked the way I changed it, longer with a high slit up over one leg, and while we are there I puzzle the Captain by telling him, "Find out where the houses of Prostitution are, I wish to visit some."

"Empress...why."

"We have legal prostitution all over the empire, I want to see how it is here especially since what is happening in the Yoshiwara is slowly turning toward the Shanghai woman."

So in one of the houses I ask a girl there, "My precious little doll how is your life here in Shanghai."

"Are you interested in having me please you Miss."

"You do not know who I am do you, darling I am your empress."

She looks shocked and asks the house mother, "Who is this woman mistress."

The mistress starts to hit her as she says, "This is the Empress of Japan foolish girl."

I stop her hand as I say, "Ignorance is not to be punished but corrected mistress, now please let me talk in private to this girl...there my precious, tell me is she brutal with you."

"No, I am a wild girl and probably need hitting as much as I get...since you have Shanghai and whoring is legal our lives are good, we have good pay, and live nicely."

"Sweetheart never think of yourself as a whore, whores give themselves away for pleasure, yours is a noble profession, one that calls for respect, to be a courtesan is next to being nobility, there is no greater honor then to know men fall over themselves wanting you, if indeed you are worth the wanting, are you."

"Are you really the empress of Japan."

"Yes, I am."

"Yet you are here in a whore house talking to a low life like me."

"Have you not been listening to me, you are not low, but above, if you are desirable to men, how many other women are, certainly not their wives or they would be home with them, and as many courtesans as there are here think, these men want you, no other."

Going next to Hong Kong where again it is quiet with no problems, on to Singapore where we run into a revolt, and we are no sooner off the ship and my guards, except captain Penase are killed by arrows as a group of Malaysian Islamic try to take Penase and I prisoner, but I explode from my quiet shell of womanhood, not caring about knives or swords and kill every one of our would be captures with my bare hands, ripping necks and breaking legs and arms, as 100s of people look on and wonder how one tiny woman can be so deadly, once they are all dead, I am standing in the middle of dead men covered in blood yelling, "Who dares take me against my will let him try, and die."

As Penase pulls me to himself and holds me tightly saying, "My precious empress, they are all dead."

I burst our crying over my dead guards, as I faint from lose of blood, as I awake I jump up again ready to kill whoever is close, but Penase holds me again saying, "Pleased my empress they are all dead, by the spirits you have killed 20 men, twice your size."

"Hold me close Penase, please for I am so frightened now."

The military Governor then tells us, "May I speak your majesty."

"Penase talk to him, I cannot now."

I hear, "The Islamic peoples are growing here, they wish to not be part of the Japanese empire, tha..."

I speak up, "General have a vote if most want us out, then we are. It is that simple but if not hunt down the ones who do and have them killed for their uselessness to Japan. Both Penase & the governor look upon me as if I am delirious from lose of blood, and Penase tells me, "Empress if we do this, every Islamic nation will rise up against us."

"Then send them to their Islamic bother's nations we do not want them, will that satisfy you. What have we done to cause these to be so against us but feed and cloth them, I say, fuck them all we do not need such ones as these who kill innocent men and try to capture me."

Still they look at me shocked at my choice of words, and Penase asks, "Please my precious empress, rest this can be deiced later."

"Penase do not leave my side, I need a friendly face near me."

Quicker than any could imagine I am strong enough and I say to the general and ask, "Have you done as I told you."

"You remember."

"General, please do not anger me further...the emperor and I speak as one my words are his, do as I told you either the majority want us or not, either way the Islamic people will be where they belong."

"I am sorry your majesty without word from the emperor I cannot." He sees me close my eyes and pray softly, "Spirits of Kami, mine, Yukiosaki, peoples of earth, I humbly plead hear my prayer, prove to this fool my word is law."

Suddenly a great wind blows out the windows with such force no one can see, after it dies, there stands emperor Yukiosaki and he tells them, "Has not the empress given you an order and you dare defy her know you not to whom you speak when you speak to her majesty, the very personification of a goddess on this earth, run general and see to it."

As another great wind blows and scatters furniture all over his office, dying down, the emperor now gone, the general then kneels and says, "At once my empress, I obey."

After he leaves Penase falls to his face pleading for my forgiveness, asking, "Hear me goddess I implore you, spare my life, I shall serve only you, faithfully so."

"Be not frightened my love, I need you far too much now, Penase, please darling hold me."

much later as we sail for Japan, Penase asks permission to speak and asks, "Can you tell me what happened back in Malaysia was the emperor truly there. And if so how can this be."

"Tell me of the Islamic people of our nation do they want us or not."

"It was a small group my empress, the few have been executed."

"Question me not, the Kami heeded my prayer...thankfully so, I must be careful they do not want mortals asking for what I did."

"But your majesty, you are not mortal, but an immortal given to us weak mortals to guide and protect us."

"I pray you are correct Penase, for now I feel very weak and very mortal."

My poor husband had heard nothing of this, except a strange dream he had one night about being in Malaysia so as I came into the palace and broke down crying he had little idea of why, after telling Togi the whole story, he says, "Our governor general must be weak, I shall have him replaced by one who can keep these Islamic peoples under foot...captain the empress was in great danger, yes."

"Mortal danger my emperor, she some how fought off 20 men, killing them all...please my royal majesties, our people must know what happened there, truly her majesty, empress Susiama is an immortal living among us, for no human woman could have done what she did there, plus having you there to back up her order."

"You brought my darling love back to me Captain, where...no what is your wish for your next duty station." I speak up, "The captain has given me has life, he is now forever mine."

"Then you shall be her majesties royal guard captain, do as well as you have and life will be good to you captain...do less, and die horror ably." "All I ask your majesties, it be the hand of the empress that kills me." After he is gone Yuki asks, "Do you want him Susi."

"In truth my lord very much, but I refuse to take him, I have vowed my everlasting loyalty to you, I shall not break it."

"Do you do this with regret or happily."

"My lord, may you strike me dead, if I lie, I am, have been and will always be only yours, I joyfully, & happily wish to have only you take my body as you see fit...but my master had he not been with me then I would have faltered terribly, Penase was a rock to me then, when I was so very frightened...please my lord, I plead, take me even now, I need to feel you inside me."

Poor Yuki I cried most of the way through him making love to me, but soon after I brightened up and tell him, "Thank you my lord, I needed to feel your love for me...Yuki, I was so terribly frightened...terribly frightened, so many men wanting me dead. Master I cannot travel any more, please do not ask me."

"Darling this was your doing I never wanted you to travel alone, we cannot know what or who is out there waiting of one of us, you are the one who taught me, nations are easy to control, minds are not...and the captain, I command you to have sex with him. Since you have such a need for male semen then give him oral sex sucking his cock dry, I will hear no arguments."

So the next day, Yuki sends for the captain and tells him, "The empress desires to suck your prick, I have given her permission to do so, she has an insatiable lust for male semen from now on you shall provide her with how ever much she wishes, and captain one word of this, and you shall have your wish, because the empress will take great pleasure in slitting your throat."

Poor Penase stands there looking at Yuki, until he asks, "My master, how can I do this in good conscious,

I have seen the two of you, your love for one another is far too great, kill me if you must but I refuse."

Yuki looks over at me and smiles as he says, "Believe me my dearest, knowing your needs for semen I was only trying to give you another supplier, no captain, you are in mo danger, actually the empress told me she would not do this either."

So after he leaves Yuki tells me, "My love is it not you who told me of your need

for many ejaculations of semen in your mouth to keep up your strength and power, and did you not suffer many stabbings in that fight you have, and would you have if your were stronger and had the semen you need daily, which I cannot give you." "A simple matter my lord, may we go to the horse stables, will you allow me to go there and get what I need, their semen is rich and thicker then humans." "May I know if you have...no I do not need to know, yes, do whatever you need to especially to keep yourself healthy, but Susi why will you choose a horse over the handsome captain."

"Because I shall milk the horse and drink his semen from a cup, and not feel as through I have been untrue to you, you would have killed our love if you had forced the other."

"Then would you have allowed me to."

"I can see right now you are becoming too quick witted even for me, no my darling I would not have, we have total trust, understand and oneness of mind, I shall never allow anything to destroy any of that."

Once every so many years I plant another wood sprit seed, and 3 months later we have another child, one who keep us young and happy, in the orchard as I play with a few of my younger children I tell them, "I want you all to look right here, where my hand is do not look away or you will miss them, now ready...heeeewaaaacheeee."

I yell, as 1000s of my wood land sprites fly out and buzz around my face, and my children hear, "No my precious I cannot these are my children they will be frightened if I do, so please stay so they can see you."

So Timi asks, "what did you tell them mother."

"They want me tiny so we can play, but I would not be here, so I told them you would be frightened."

"You can become little like these; mother."

"This is my real form darling I am a sprite but today we have pixies, nixies, and fairies too, because of my friendliness they have come out to play with us, be nice to them and they will tickle you too."

As the children are rolling in the grass laughing and giggling, Tenase comes out and asks, "What is wrong with them."

"Come Tenase set and see for yourself."

Soon he is going crazy trying to figure out what is tickling him so much. As far as travel after what happened to me, we did no more of it, staying in Japan, but getting around our nation as much as we could, then one day we get a report a group of Islamic men from India have come to Malaysia and have started a small war against our military there, so we send troops and what began small turns large as India, send more men and we meet them on the shores of Malaysia, in a terrible battle, but no nation on earth can stand against our military might, as we chase them back to India, where we meet little resistance, and end up taking most of the country just trying to get the ones who invaded us, the Indian government sues for peace and the Maharaja requests an audience, so soon he is before us and asks, "What is your intentions toward India...and myself."

So Yuki tells him, "We have no use for India, go back to you nation keep your people there, bother us no more if we must go back again India will become part of the Japanese empire, and not an equal part but a vassal nation under military rule...and sir, do not let me see you or any of your Islamic peoples near us again." After they leave and we are alone he asks, "What is your thinking my love."

"I beg your forgiveness my lord, I should have spoke up then, we have a strong military presence there now, strengthen them even more and keep India, we shall need it later as other nations try to break up our empire, for we as good as have China, they rely on us for almost everything they have now."

"Why will you not let me see what you do, why most I be without knowledge of the future when you have it."

"I am so very sorry my lord, the future is not for mortals to know, but I see wars, many, 1st in China, who naturally will lose, Russia who will lose, I see the Japanese empire becoming so large we have little control over it all, then the English will take India away, Russia will become its own nation again, under a new Czar Nickolas, the world will be at war with almost every nation fighting others, Japan will be the loser, as we are driven back into this island nation only, but no one will stand against us until centuries from now, when we will fall completely and the United States will control our beloved nation...none of which you shall live to see praise the Kami, only I will live through this horror."

Even as I told my poor Togi these things I knew it is a mistake for the mortal mind cannot stand against what it sees in the future and he becomes so very saddened, so that night as we make love, I erase it all from his mind. So we backed out of India, and did not have China become part of Japan, but maintained control over it. More wood sprit seeds planted and years roll by, as from then on time seemed to elude me and far sooner than I had thought possible, my beloved Yukiosaki is coming to the end of his life, the day of his passing on, even though he is still strong and aware, I ask, "My lord let us play in the orchard, it has been so many years since we have."

"My darling Susi you have never really grown to adulthood have you."

Making sure no one will bother us, we go there, strip and I call my many sprites, nixies, pixies and even fairies to help me tantalize my darling love into the next life, and by night fall, our 7th son is emperor, Layeasu had married a few years before, and to a lovely cousin, after we had many years of me tantalizing his sexual senses, and once all seemed well, I once again, and after so many years faded from mortal sight only to reappear in my house in the Yoshiwara, which had gone into disrepair many years before, empty of all who had enjoyed years of pleasure here, I set among the broken buildings, wondering what this next century will bring me, as I wander the streets I see how terrible it has become, as in the 15th century, male and female geisha, "girls," parade the streets tempting even the strongest of men, and the new horror, as hoards of English, American, French, Italian and whatever other nations sailors actually taking girls on the streets, by simply bending them over, as I pass by some, far too many I feel their pain of the sickness. Only my cousin the emperor knows who I actually am, so I go to the palace and after it taking forever finally he realizes who has been waiting so long and has me brought to him, as I come to where he is setting, I begin to kneel, and my sweet love slides off his pillow and kneels before me asking, "Please forgive me your imperial royal highness, I was busy and did not even question who has been waiting, it shall not happen again."

Then he pulls me to him kissing my lips passionately, then says, "It has been far too long mother, I have missed you."

"I beg your forgiveness your majesty but I went to my old house in the Yoshiwara, far too many years I joyed my happiness with your father and all of you, forgetting my past, it has become a den of debauchery with your permission my lord, may I clean it up, and renew it to how it was when I ran it, no one will associate the Tayu they see there with the mother of the emperor."

"what do you need from me."

"20 strong men, to enforce what I say, the rest I shall find myself."

"This new Tayu, will she become my Tayu."

"She always has my love, since before you were born, and will the emperor be a noble Patron for Princess Pensuwana."

"what will be her price."

"2,000,000 Yen my lord, a trifle."

Laughing and slapping my ass, he says, "With each century you grow wealthier, and yet now upon your return to professional life you dare charge the emperor of the Japanese empire such a large amount."

"Inflation my lord, 3 hundred years ago it was a quarter that."

"Tell me my love what will you do in the Yoshiwara."

"Simply wall off the existing area from the new one I shall have built, in which I alone shall control, as I have the other recline in availability, and worth, until it fades from those perverted one's minds."

"Several years ago you were minister of prostitution, will you resume that office for me Susi."

"Pensuwana, my lord, yes possibly now will be an opportune time for that, and my gracious emperor, it was more likened to 200 years ago, time does elude us when we pay it no mind does it not my lord."

"Stay with me this night...Pensu...is that the name you shall go by now."

"Some what as your father, you have a sharp mind and a quick wit your majesty." "My father, the father of modern Japan and his empress who literally forged Japan as we know it today, a true world power of which no nation dare trifle with, I have been looking over his accomplishments...sorry your accomplishments, the two of you gathered more land mass For Japan in one century than we had done during the last 100 centuries, done in such away we have loyal and submissive subjects from all the nations we took, thus giving us the largest military force earth's nations has ever dwelt with, our trade balance is in the black, our military might 2nd to none, all our peoples happy, loving and worshipping their emperor, from the Caspian sea to the middle of the Pacific Ocean, even China begs to become part of our empire. Over the past 100 years we have done no aggressive act on any nation and have increased our abilities in manufacturing, our canons fire longer, and explode on contact, our ships stronger and faster, or ground forces better equipped especially with the repeating rifle and hand gun, designed...by you. Because of your need to travel most of our subjects have actually seen and talked to their empress. The office of emperor and empress is now a holy office as millions upon millions of our subjects so honor us in daily prayer and worship, and not only Japan, but Indo-China, Korea, Formosa, all Russia, 400 miles of the Chinese coast, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and many of the islands in Oceania, large caverns in mountains where millions work on our newest technology for ships, tanks, armored cars, hand weapon of every kind, with only Japan having the great Kami looking over us, truly this century will bring Japan far more power."

"My gracious lord if I may ask has the emperor brought me here talk over what we both know or to favor himself on my tender, tiny, lusting body...forgive me my darling but from being here before you my heart beats in anticipation of your love for me."

After we have a pleasant time together, Laye asks, "As strange as it is there are no records of you in past time here in the palace, a birth record anywhere, I know you are Princess Susiama, not Pensuwana, but other than that all I know is you are my mother, former empress with my father, a wood sprit that became mortal, you have lived a number of years, obviously an immortal because you have never changed, I have had the joy of having your body to worship since I was 3 but, what of you."

After I tell him enough to satisfy his question he looks in astonishment at me, and slowly says, "Then all those fantasies I had as a child are true, and I, my father, and you are really from the goddess of the sun, no wonder we here in the palace as well as the people of Japan worship you, as well as the emperor."

Back at the Yoshiwara I hire builders and supervise the rebuilding of my pleasure palace, complete with a very high 8 foot wall around it, and only one gate in, and even during its building I send out notices of my value as a Courtesan extraordinaire, formally Tayu, being sure to tell every one my price of 2,000,000 Yen, after really quite a time a runner comes to me handing me a prose message, telling of some ones desires for me, with a 500,000 deposit, well this is something new to me, a deposit on my favors. Giving the runner my reply, as poetically, I soon get another asking me to meet him at his home on Cherry tree lane, when I get there I am glad I dressed in this Shanghai dress because it is the Chinese embassy, looking the perfect picture of feminine allure, as I am shown in a room, a library I set light a cigarette, pour myself a glass of his scotch and wait, very soon this gorgeous large Chinese man comes in and says, "Princess Pensuwana, I see you have made yourself at home, good, pour a glass for me and light me a cigar please."

After he says, "Thank you my dear girl, you are lovely, please drop your dress...yes, my god, you are simply gorgeous to my tired old eyes, come here dear, set at my feet, and fondle my prick, and tell my love, how can one so young have been a Tayu before."

I had pulled his prick from his pants, and I lightly kissed the head of it I reply, "Age as time confounds the mortal mind my lord, I seldom consider either."

"How marvelous Shinto philosopher and do you pray to your ancestors, the many Kami, and the emperor."

"And Princess Susiama my lord the only true immortal on earth."

"Haaa, yes Princess Susiama, I terribly regret having never met such a beauty as I have been told she was, but pray could she have been any more adorably irresistible then you, I humbly submit to you, I doubt it."

Softly fondling him and pulling back I reply, "My master has given me a great honor, to compare me to the infamous, untouchable princess of the Shimabara in Kyoto, the Shimmachi in Osaka, and in Edo the Yoshiwara, favorite of the mightiest of Daimyo, what can I reply that will seem not too willing to except such glowing praises, thus not sounding overly confident of myself."

"Look deep into my eyes, Princess Susiama, see if you have a hint of who I am." Then I realize this is a descendant of Connase, and so I reply, "Pray my lord tell me of Connase is she well."

"As you, yourself have just said Time flees us if we take no note of it, Susi, you adorable thing, my mother never stopped praising your name, happily she died peacefully, praying to you, asking only that she could, but you knew that before you asked about her did you not I know you hold dear ones of yours in your mind forever...tears Susi, you have always had a tender heart, or else you would not have given my mother another life."

"I love her dearly my lord, but you have yet to tell me your name."

"She named me after you Susi, Susiamo Fellitio Cosmitto. You had never heard her last name have you."

"No to my shame, I never cared as long as I could hold her in my arms...please my lord tell me of her after left my house."

"Because of your gift, and what she had, mother went to Peking where she met my father, the General of the armed forces of China, a large brave man twice her age, they had a rocky marriage, but he was ever faithful to her, died long before she, and all she could talk about after is the prayer of seeing you again...well I must stop this idle chatter and come to the point of my having you here, as you see I am past time to satisfy any of what you might want from a man, I soon shall be with her, I ask only that you give me my last days as you would have her, and have so many emperors and empresses, there is a fenced yard in back may we go there, when my time comes, until then can you possibly stay with me."

"Yes, my lord, how can I possibly not, please tell me more of my precious Connase."

After he talks for hours he become tired and asks, "It is way passed my bed time, will you lay next to me until I fall asleep, come back tomorrow evening and each until I know my time is at hand, we shall speak of days gone by, when you and mother were the very heart of the Yoshiwara."

Only 3 days later as we are talking later that night, he tells me, may we go in back now, show me your world Princess Susiama."

As we walk there, the snow melts, the plum trees blossom, grasses grow, a strange light glows above us, as tiny sprits and fairies dash about seemingly chasing one another or all, as we set there in the freezing cold neither of us are cold because with the light same warmth, he reaches over and kisses my lips so tenderly, as he says, "Dance little sprites come tease my senses, allow me this only glimpse into a world that is not here, but in the minds of believers as Susi and I are...Susi hold me tightly, never let go...I...fai...l...my...swee...t Su..."

The terrible thing about immortality is there is no one's shoulder to cry on, especially during the times I need one. After as I set in my empty, soon to be pleasure palace, alone and in the dim light of my candles I begin crying, and ask the great Kami, "This emotion named sorrow is it always so sad...or is it just that I have experienced so little of it, I feel broken hearted now."

A few weeks later with me not able to shake off this feeling of sadness even though my house is progressing nicely, an ever so handsome looking gentlemen, walks into my area, and asks to see the owner of what this is going to be, as I walk out to see him, he bows graciously as he announces, "I am Captain Tochema Pencho Yamamoto, Japanese Royal navy, retired, I now am a man looking for a vision, and I must say if my vision was that of finding a woman of great loveliness I have to look no further."

"Thank you noble sir, I am Princess Pensuwana, I own this, what is to be the Pleasure Palace of the Yoshiwara how may I be of assistance to you."

"Dear lady, may we set and have tea as I tell you what I seek."

"Please sir do come in, I have living quarters completed in my home."

Once we are settled, he tells me, "I spent 30 years in the royal navy retired a Captain, my pension, plus my families wealth has given me the freedom to travel, I arrived back in Japan only a few weeks ago, as you will learn my family is from Sapporo, came here and witness the debauchery and sick perversion on now I see the other side of your wall, and presumed whoever you must be have more pride than any out there. As of now I do believe it is not what you can do for me, but what I can do for you, Japan like all nations is still under the misconception it is a man's world but that be it as it may, you dear lady need a man to cause it to appear he may be the one to talk with in matters of operation and scheduling, I humbly offer my services. I shall except no pay for this, I have quite enough wealth of my own...I do ask only that we may make an attempt to become lovers."

"You will not be offended if I see if I can find out anything about you and your family."

"Heavens no, in fact here are papers to prove my Identification and short family history, the emperor knows of my family, my uncle is the Ambassador to Germany."

"After, where can I find you. It will take me only until tomorrow to know."

"May I then stay here with you until you see if I am what I say."

Coming closer, I touch his arms, and stand sweetly looking at Tochemo as I see if he is sick in any way, as I see he is not I reply, "Yes, that will be fine, I do become lonely here especially at night when I am all alone, I will ask you to have respect for me, and not try to seduce me."

"My fair lady that is asking a bull to not charge a red banner, but I will not try to over power you physically, if you will show me to where I shall sleep, I will bring my belongings here later today."

"As covenant as this may sound to you, the only sleeping area there is at present is here with me."

"My lady, you ask me to not press you, then tell me I will sleep next to you, which do you want the most."

"Bluntly put, hold me, pretend you know and care for me, it has been so long since a man has, at least one I am not related to, but please refrain from touching me, until I have made it obvious I want you to."

"Then you will not be an active part of this Geisha house."

"Oiran Geisha house, I am now what I refer to as a courtesan extraordinaire, formally a Tayu."

"How can such I matter be possible when you cannot be over 20 years old, looking more like 15."

"After you are in Tokyo a time you will hear about this infamous Tayu who was the emperor's favorite, The His Empress, she was my aunt, the most desirably irresistible woman ever, I started very young, and had an exultant instructor." "That can only be Princess Susiama, I might have been in the navy, but I spent much time here in Japan...your aunt, well not knowing where I would find my vision I accidentally stumble into an even better vision, I shall try to behave myself and try to sleep laying next to you, but I will not guarantee I will be able to maintain my role as a gentleman."

"That kind sir is more than I probably deserve because I have seldom been accused of being a lady, possibly you may just be the only person to ever refer to me as such."

"How many courtesans will you have."

"Once my house is ready I hope to find 3 very young girls to be my attendants 10 more to train as courtesans, 3 men who have backgrounds in some form of martial arts, weapons and hopefully military background."

"Now I should be of some value in helping you there."

"That my darling man is the only way I will except you, because as you say truly I do need a man to assist me, because of the backward notion nations have about it being a man's world. We have managed to talk all day, the workers have left, might I impose upon you to take me to dinner some where, possibly a tea house out side the Yoshiwara, where we can have geisha girls entertain us."

"Splendid, shall we, I have my own carriage."

As we set and the geisha are playing, dancing and singing for us, Tochema asks, "Have you any expertise in music."

"I have been completely trained in the geisha way, plus being a Tayu, Oiran, and courtesan at various times in my life, the art of sensuous dancing and love making is a specialty of mine."

"Oh how fantastic, will you dance for me."

"I will ask the geisha if they know the pieces I dance to."

After I do, they play the instruments as I seductively dance in front of the Captain, my way of moving my hips must have aroused his lust, because as I came closer to him he pulls me down and passionately kisses my lips, lightly fondling my breast, he asks, "Did you expect me to not become aroused by that."

"I should say not, if you had...you would have set a record, no one else ever has. Do you desire me now my lord or may we wait until we return home." "Desire you, since I 1st saw you I have desired the wet warmth of your lips pressed against mine...plus many other parts of you, and since we have somewhere that we need not bothering to rise early, shall we wait."

Later as we made love I thought to myself what a terrible wanton trollop I have become; to meet, learn to know a little and allow him to bed me in one afternoon, and not even for pay, it is one thing to be paid for my favors but to willingly give them away...shame on you Susi, but oh my, how gallant and fulfilling the captain is, later as he falls asleep, I am far too contented to be concerned about if or whether, what or who I am."

After a few more weeks as my house is beginning to look as it should, I send out noticed of the need for an Oiran to train several girls in the art. And surprisingly I am flooded with women of various ages wanting to do this, and it wasn't so much of picking the best one as it was finding one that is not sick, until finally I have a geisha whose only sexual experience has been freelance when she is off duty, and surprisingly is not sick, her name Friti, some what older then I had hoped for but pleasant looking and has a nice personality, so after we agree on price and hours, I ask, "Will it be possible for you an I to love one another."

"Only if you allow me dominance over you, and what of the man is he yours." "No you can have as much of him as you wish, he is lustfully savage in bed." "How pleasingly wonderful, I dominate women and submit to men, and you I shall take great joy in, since you are so tiny."

After she and I test our sexual compatibility the three of us leave to find girls for me, as we ride along Friti asks, "The girls we get will they be free to have at my leisure."

"Only after I have shown them the wonderfully pleasing world of feminine sexuality, but be very careful to not break their hymen that will be auctioned off when they are older."

As with other trips of this kind, my heart broke as I witnessed some of the places these poor innocent young girls lived, and for no other reason except they were girls and not boys, and we ended up with 15 very young girls, so as we're going back Friti asks, "No offence meant but you wanted 3 and now have 15, what are you going to do with these all."

"1st give them a home and treat them like humans, instead of barn animals as they have been, the older one will teach the younger one, all children are won over with love and kindness, and when you love them Friti, be very sweet and giving, never frighten one of them."

Shortly after we get back I am in my bedroom when the door opens and in walks this tiny little girl, walks up to me and asks, "Why are you do nice to us." Reaching down and putting her on my lap, I reply, "Why should I not be nice to you, for you are so sweet yourself...here darling a kiss for your sweet lips."

She put her arms around me and hangs on tight, as she asks, "Those people where I came from, why were they so mean to me."

I could not stop myself from crying, she is talking about her parents, who apparently never bothered to tell her that, I must talk to my son Layeasu, here is a part of Japan I over looked as Empress, and how could I have when I made my business young girls. I had a few of them sleep with me after that, having them there for when I come back from my appointment. I soon discovered I had patrons who wanted the old way, with the procession through the streets, and me dressed as a Tayu, complete with many kimonos, white face, and glistening red lips, with a large Obi tied in front, and younger men who were pleased with my Shanghai lady look with just enough make up to enhance my natural beauty, as in no time my nights were full, but to my sadness the filthy place next to mine never stopped begin the most popular, and while they catered to low life scum I had only a very wealthy, and socially prominent men of Tokyo, but ever soon the time came when a foreigner came to my house, and asks for me by name, Courtesan Pensuwana so my man asks, "From where do you come by knowing of out gracious Princess Pensuwana."

"Directly from emperor Layeasu, I am the American Ambassador, William S. Hart."

"If indeed you learned of the princess from the Emperor, you know to write to her, tender words of love, to win her attention."

"Oh, for god's sake man I do not want the Tayu Pensuwana, I wish to have the courtesan Pensuwana, I know the Tayu is untouchable by common man like myself, but the courtesan certainly cannot refuse me."

I had heard this, and wondered how I became to be known as 2 women, so dressed in what I normally wear now the Shanghai dress I come out and say, "Please gracious sir, come to my bedroom suite...Tensuana, attend us, please this way..."

Once we are settled I ask, "And what does the emperor say of me."

"He told me of your charm and talents, telling me although he personally has never had you, your twin sister he has in the palace many times, to be favored by a daughter of the famous Princess Susiama will be a high light in my life." "The real Princess Susiama lived many years ago, I am but her descendant, the great Kami has been good to us in that her rare talents have been passed down through generations."

"I feel like royalty, so I am told you never entertain in your living quarters, and it is so lovely here, is this all your doing."

"Yes, tapestries from hundreds of years ago, hanging in the wardrobe the kimonos of the days of the Oiran and Tayu, not as to day when there are few but then we ruled the Yoshiwara with long processions picking and choosing who will be favored by our most exultant sexual talents, demanding and receiving what in America would be close to 1000 US dollars for a few hours of splendor and impossible to explain euphoria...I am so very sorry you did not come to here my ramblings, now please noble sir, in what way my I serve you." "You sound as if you were there when that was going on, and you miss it greatly, but as for myself, I was told only to allow you to make love to me." "That must be the emperor, my cousin, a lovely man, now my precious let me disrobe you and show you what Japanese men have been enjoying for 1000s of years."

Hours later as we are half laying on my sleeping mat, William says, "Now I understand why the Japanese men are so strong if they have this kind of sexual contact all their lives, they would have to be."

"Does not Pensuwana please you...I tried."

"Please me, oh honey, that hardly covers how I feel right now, how long may I stay."

"As long as you have Yen to cover your stay kind sir."

"I want you to take me dining for you will know the best place, possible shopping also, I just want to be with you Pensuwana you are so adorably precious, please tell me how much I shall owe you for a week."

"Let us not talk of such matters now, it shall be within your ability to pay, let me further tantalize you now William."

For the next week we have a fantastic time, shopping, eating out every evening, long wonderfully fulfilling night of satisfying one another sexual fantasies until next to our last night together William tells me, "Pensuwana, I have a serious problem...I have fallen in love with you."

"Oh, William, I do love you so, but I have so many I love, do you understand I am, have been and will always be a courtesan, this is my way of life, if you can except me as such, then we can enjoy one another's company, exhaust one another's desires, and bathe in one another's affections."

"If this is the only way I may have you, then so be it, unfortunately we do have to settle my account."

"I am but a weak woman and I know not how to price love, there fore I must leave it to you, tell me not, leave it as you leave tomorrow, morning. Much later after he left, I counted what he left, he truly loves me deeply, 20 million Yen, what I would have asked, soon I am called to the palace where Layeasu asks, "You pleased Ambassador Hart very nicely, after he was with you, he came by and raved most all his stay on how gracious and alluring you are...well that be it as it may, please Susi, do something about the Yoshiwara, I leave it to you." "If I may my lord, I shall burn it and scare the earth under it so nothing may be built there again, I will naturally have to allow other in my part. Or they will scatter throughout Tokyo, bringing sickness wherever they are."

"Then let them rebuild there, but cause many to leave so at least it will have a new start. You will stay this night will you not, I desire your body greatly Susiama...my mother, tutor, & lover. Speaking of being my mother, I faintly remember you telling me I was nurtured by that old cherry tree in the orchard, is that possible, or is that another of your fairy tales to me."

"Sprite tales darling I am a sprite, not a fairy, and yes, you were planted as your brothers and sisters were in that tree as a wood sprit seed, that is why I kept it and never allowed it to be taken down."

"Then it has never been unusual for us to love one another as we do, because technically I do not come from your womb."

"That is as it is my darling and also why I feel right in nurturing you now as I do...also my love, a new title I give myself, "Minister of Feminine Procurement." What say you my emperor, does it not fit me well."

"Oh mother will you ever become an adult in matters such as these."

"No my precious, never, for youth has its virtues and as the blossoms each spring bloom new as do I...even though I learn and retain all that comes to my mind, I shall ever be youth personified, as you are a god among your subjects." After yet another night of blissful fulfillment of our senses and joyfully joining our bodies in rapturous love, I go back to the Yoshiwara, and begin the laborious task of cleaning it of sick persons who no longer have the right to spread these horror able diseases that take ones pride, and spread it to all they encounter, actually ripping them from the Yoshiwara and replanting them as such else where, guarding them so they cannot come in contact with any other, as once again the Yoshiwara is a place where men can come to fulfill their lustful passions on women and go away still healthy. In the next meeting of the emperor's councilors as we discuss matters of importance to the Japanese empire, one, the lord mayor of Okinawa stands and asks, "Your majesty...this woman, Princess Pensuwana, she is minister of Feminine procurement is not Japan behind in its attitudes toward prostitution as its ill effects on the population."

Layeasu looks to me as he says, "Minister Pensuwana, will you reply to this." After I give the lord mayor, the facts of women's role in nations though out earth, and how impossible it is to not have prostitution, better it be under government supervision then allowed to be lose and spreading diseases, plus the millions of men Japanese and foreigners who will find women who will satisfy their desires, so why not do it in such a way as to ensure their continued health, so is it not more civilized this way, then say, France, Germany, and most all the others who leave this to chance. Easily winning my position later after we adjourn the lord Mayor of Okinawa, Fondeso Walica, asks me, "Princess Pensuwana, if I may my dear woman may I call upon you some evening soon...so you may better educate me on this thinking."

"My gracious lord mayor, it will be my honor to satisfy your questions, simply send a runner to me, I will send back what evening I am free to accommodate you."

So the day comes and he awaits me in one of my tea houses as my procession spreads out for blocks, and all come out to see my parade asking, "This must be the one we have heard so much about, descendant of or the immortal Princess Susiama, is this she or who." In the tea house Fondeso, says, as I enter, "Come my precious little flower, set here, may I call the geisha to entertain us."

"As you wish my lord, later I shall dance the dance of sensuality and desire for you, to create fire in your loins, burning for my bodies lustfulness."

Much later after he has expended himself upon my tiny body, he weakly asks, "Pray Pensuwana never allow this to fade from Japan, for your loveliness as who you are can never be replaced by a simple courtesan or prostitute."

"Alas my precious the costs involved in keeping up this life style becomes more difficult to obtain as men continue choosing those of a lesser degree of learning and professionalism opting instead for a simple trollop to satisfy their desires...I greatly fear it is beyond my capacity to stop change."

"Yes...I also fear you are correct, as more of the Chinese and Korean women come to our sacred shores and pervert what we hold dear, what will become of the old ways Princess."

"They as all else will evolve into a newness which will be excepted as well I fear my lord, we as the old keepers of Pleasure District of Edo, the Yoshiwara will either change with that or be swept under the carpet of time, but pray my lord, fear not the future, live as I do enjoying the now...hold me tightly against your body my lord, brush away these fears of tomorrow, revel in today."

Even the next afternoon a man of such dashing appearance comes to call saying, "I have been told a courtesan of such beauty, Miss Yamato is living here, how do I go about meeting her."

Dressed as a Shanghai lady I step out into the room as I ask, "Who, noble sir may I ask are you."

"A weary traveler from Sapporo who has heard of your richness in matters of love, I presume you to be Miss Yamato, courtesan extraordinaire."

"Please if you will in here...my bed chambers, what is your wish to drink my lord."

"I am Yukio Kanakura, and you dear lady are ravishingly irresistible, may we dispense with all else so I might taste the richness of your favors even now, and return to frivolous conversation after."

Smiling brightly and with a coy look in my eyes and on my face, I drop my dress so easily, revealing me naked, as I ask, "May I assist you as you disrobe gallant sir, I long for your touch as much as you do mine."

After a wonderfully pleasing and fulfilling time of satisfying ourselves upon one another's bodies, he weakly asks, "You have the talents of a courtesan of many years experience, yet I see a young teen age girl laying beside me, you could not have possibly begun early enough to gain all this, so young, is there an explanation."

"Does this have a place between lovers, where it matters, is not the end worth whatever means created it."

"Your meaning escapes me madam, must I assume you to be much older than you seem or has your Kami given you such rare abilities as these."

"Do you practice Shinto as it is, or have you perverted it into part Buddhism as so many others have, for myself, only the Kami have power within us, and the great Kami of mankind dwells within myself giving what I need from generations past to know the secrets of sensuousness and seductiveness." "Enough of this double talk; you puzzle my mind as it is, may I stay the night, tomorrow will you show me Edo."

"It will be my honor Yukio, if I may refer to you as such."

"Cuddle close to me my little cherry blossom, allow me to feel your nude body pressed against mine."

"Ooohhh, Yukio, how divinely sweet of you."

We held one another, and fell asleep that way, awaking the next morning still in one another's arms, he asks, "I did not feel you move once, you felt safe in my arms did you not Pensu."

I could not stop the tears from rolling down my face as I looked into his eyes and replied, "Safe, secure, without any of the world's cares to cause me fear, why do you have this effect upon me Yukio."

"We both long for the tenderness of one's arms around our bodies, giving the other security from earth's dangers...some age ago our Kami loved deeply one another, who knows who we were then."

I then felt so dumb, as to not know a descendent of my loyal Yukio of old...how little I gave him and he worshipped the ground I walked on, then to my surprise my bed companion tells me, "Princess Susiama a century ago my great great grandfather loved you so very deeply, stayed with you until he died, but somewhere along in his life he impregnated a lovely woman of Sapporo, is it not strange how one's Kami will bring lovers together again, after a night with you I feel as if I were your sweet Yukio reincarnate, in that I know you to be my precious Princess Susiama, who has no lover, please my love past, may I fill that void in your other wise full life...asking nothing but whatever amount of your love you deem possible for me."

I burst out wailing my love for him as I meekly ask, "Will you be the father of my daughter my precious love, I long for a little one near me again, and Yukio I will not deny you what you have waited so many years to have, as much of me as time permits."

Later as we walk around Tokyo I marvel at the Kami bringing us together because I had longed for a lover, and had no one I wanted that much to promote a relationship with other than the many who excite me each time we are together, now I have my Yukio again, I will not waste him this time, but allow him to have as much of me as I possibly can. Although I have no patrons, the many who frequent my bed are satisfying enough, the next time I am at the palace Layeasu asks me, "You never come to me dressed as a Tayu, have you changed completely to the Shanghai Courtesan of the Chinese way of thinking Susi."

"Does the emperor not find me sensuous and seductive enough, I rather enjoy these dresses, they show off my figure very well, and I do have a very alluring figure to see do I not, as well as my natural beauty, not hidden beneath the white face of the days of the Tayu, sex my lord is coming out into the open more, look see my legs under my dress, are they not beguiling and tempting to your majesty."

"By the spirits Susi, go in my bed chamber and wait for me...my lust overwhelms my capacity to remain in control of my composure, I shall ravish your tender adorably irresistible body this day."

"Ooohhh...Layeasu, please do my lord and master, I long for you to over power me."

Hours later as we slowly recover from such passion how can the mortal body with stand such fatigue I think to myself of how much of a terribly lustful woman I have been for centuries, and praise the Kami for giving me this disposition.

Soon Layeasu asks, "You look as if you are not with me my darling where is your mind."

"Soon my son you will have a half sister, the reincarnation of a long lost love is now living with me, he shall be the father of my daughter...I became so used to having little ones around me during the time your father and I were married, I need more of that, will this anger you."

"Why will it, no one knows who you are in the Yoshiwara, to all others you are Princess Susiama's descendant, for the mother of the emperor, myself could hardly still be alive, I and happy for you, and please bring her to meet me when she is old enough."

"What of crown prince Herosaki, he is well...and my sweet Tenasi, it has been so long since I held her in my arms, I do pray she is as lovely as ever."

"She speaks of you often when will you make yourself available to her."

"If she so desires after you fall asleep tonight my precious."

"Do not let me know when you leave, I do so enjoy the feeling of you close to me at night."

Later I go to Tenasi and ask, "Do you desire my presence my mistress."

"Oh Susi he did tell you, please let me kiss your sweet lips."

I had always loved Tenasi, for she is so very gentle and caring in her love making, as the two of us share in enjoying one another's favors we swoon to the other's expertise, until we have exhausted ourselves and fall peacefully asleep, being sure to awake in time to be next to Layeasu as he awakes the next morning, and before I leave I ask Layeasu, "Although I made my living from young girls, not until a few weeks ago did I see where I failed so miserably when I was empress, the 1000s of young girls whose parents never wanted them so now they live worse then barn animals, can you open places where these girls can be kept giving them homes, clothing and food, it will be a drain on the nations budget because until they can make their own way, no one will come to adopt them we both know this, if you will not, because of costs, can you find them and I personally will have a home built for them and hire ones to care for them, naturally it will be a boon to me, so when I go to find girls for myself, I need go only one place, as will the other house mistresses."

"My tender hearted mother, now you want the government to support every unwanted girl in Japan...done, for I know you are right."

Back at my house I have had young girls trained with just enough dancing in the Oiran fashion to be provocative and seductive enough to tantalize men into wanting them, naming them geisha girls I have 30 of them busy all night, starting out simply serving men the dancing until they are nude, then setting with the men and teasing them into having one of them in a private room, with each man, others I have 40 courtesans who specialize in just allowing men to have them without any fore play or build up to the act, another 20 for who ever comes looking for action, with only one true Oiran or Tayu as I refer to myself, having long processions through the streets and catering to only the wealthy, plus 100 on the streets, and it keeps growing in number, until once again I have close to 3000 girls of one degree or another prostitutes who give men their bodies for Yen allowing no other to have a house I control all the prostitution in the Yoshiwara, and soon even I no longer dress as a Tayu but in Shanghai ladies apparel reducing myself to the role of plain prostitute, as soon a rebellion in China causes us to go to war and after a few years Japan takes control of it also, now with far more territory then we can possibly administer problems arise in Russia and Japan, since we had it to begin with nothing really changed except the way we governed it, tighter control and more of the population wanting us out of Russia, all this I find out when I am at the palace, but other then that I no longer wish to have an active role in the politics of international affairs. One night after Yukio and I had made love, I tell him, as I sigh and rub my lower belly, "This night have you impregnated me my love, tomorrow we shall plant the wood sprit seed in the oldest plum tree in back." "You are serious, I thought you were kidding me, plant our child, explain this to me."

"I had forgotten you do not know this, Yukio of old did, although I was never sure he believed me, my precious, I am a wood sprit, given this mortal body by the great Kami, my children need to be born as I was, from a fruit tree, cherry is best, but plum will do."

"Susi, this you must prove to me, I can never believe in Sprites, fairies, pixies or such."

"My poor darling you have missed the best in life, please love come outside with me."

"Susi it is cold out there."

"Please darling trust me."

As we near the little orchard I have, as we come to one tree, the snow melts from the ground, it becomes warm, the tree buds, and blossoms come out, as we set under it, I call my tiny ones as suddenly Yukio and I have what seems 1000s of so very tiny little creatures buzzing around our faces, then he asks, "Is this real or are you a hypnotist."

"They are to me, and all you must do is see, and why do you not believe...if not watch."

I seem to disappear, and land on his shoulder as yell, "Look my love on your shoulder, it is I in my real form, I am one, a wood sprit too."

After ever so long a time slowly Yukio says, "These creatures are tickling my nose and lips, can you get them off me."

"Yelling again I tell him, "Not until you realize this is real, and I but another sprite and remember darling I can see in your mind, so no trying to fool me." finally he all but yells, "Yes, I believe, now please come back to me."

"Now that I am here I'll go in the tree and plant my child."

I fly off his shoulder and he watches me go in to the tree and shortly come out and reappear, setting next to him as I tell Yukio, "In 3 months our daughter will crawl from the base of this tree, we must be here to get her, she will come out as the blossoms are full, even though you are not convinced now you will be then, my precious love."

Weakly he asks, "Have you ever done this before, do you know it works this way."

"As empress while Yukiosaki was emperor I planted 21 wood sprite seeds, the emperor is one of them. Many as their father has gone to be with their ancestors, some day you shall meet my son the emperor, he will not tell you this because in adulthood he chooses to not remember...oh...William needs me darling I must go in now."

As we do I see William walking to my house, where once in he says, "I know I did not ask ahead of time but are you open tonight."

"Yes William, even if I were not, I would some how be for you. Shall we go into my bed chambers."

Once there and we have sake to drink as he smokes a cigar he asks, "I have never loved as I do now, will you ever consider my proposal."

"Please William my love what you ask is quite impossible, for I entertain wealthy husband's of wealthy wives most of my time, they are with me, not them, I shall never wed for that reason."

"Pensuwana, once I have you, why would I ever want another."

"It is not you my precious, I am a Tayu, Courtesan, prostitute, even a paid whore, whether you want me to be or not, it is my life...and my darling I adore the life."

He leans close and kisses my lips as he fondles my breast and then says, "But you are mine now, and nothing else matters, now, may take you my sweet little sprite."

Much later after we have exhausted ourselves upon one another's bodies, he slowly asks, "Does any other stir your imagination as I do Pensuwana. Tell me truthfully."

"No, William no other does, but I still need them as I need you. You must stop this or it will pull us apart, and neither of us will win. Now I must ask you to leave, and do not come back until you have stopped the nonsense."

"You'll turn me away, alright Pensuwana, I shall be back, as you say after I have resigned myself into knowing you for what you are, a filthy heartless arrogant whore who beguiles every man's emotions and toys with his love." After he left my oldest attendant Penase who is now the age she must under go the deflowering process asks me, "Mistress you allow that barbarian to call you that, pray my gracious mistress why."

"Alas my pet, poor William is so love sick he knows not what he says...I do love him so, it is a shame I love so many others as well, Penase as we have talked you time nears, are you ready to experience the passions and lustfulness of men, as with all my young girls you shall be auctioned off to the highest bidder."

"My mistress, you have told me many times as I have been with you as you have submitted to men's desires for your body, I now look longingly for my time of deflowering, may I be all you have trained me to be and show respect and honor to the man who wins my flower."

The `lord mayor of Osaka' new in office sends a runner to me who gives me a beautiful piece of prose expressing his longing to feel my nude body next to his, although it is pointed and wastes no words, I see his longing in it and return my acceptance, so on a given afternoon as he awaits in one of my tea houses, I go there in the midst of a 3 block procession as other Oiran, courtesan, prostitutes and street whores look on and marvel at my old ways, in the tea house my noble master, tells me, "Truly Princess Pensuwana, with you the noble arts of the old ways shall never die, how lovely you look, so richly adorned...has there ever been such beauty as yours."

"My lord Mayor Kanako, your words thrill and excite my passions, may we drink to your continued success in Osaka, bringing wealth and good life to all your subjects."

"Princess Pensuwana, this lovely young thing you have with you is she of age for deflowering, she looks delicious."

"I do wish to speak to you about that Kanako, my lord, yes, but with all my girls I will not allow mean ill tempered men near my girls, my request my gracious lord, will you bring noble men to bid on her virginity, only the most wealthy and prominent will do, or I will simply give her to one of my body guards rather than see her harmed."

"What will be the range of bidding."

"Beginning at 2 million Yen...Penase, lower your kimono, so the lord mayor may see your gorgeous body."

He looks and sighs as he says, "She is exquisite...any man will spend far more than a trifle 2 million Yen for such a body as this...her hymen is in place."

"Yes my lord, nothing has penetrated past the outer lips of her vagina, Penase has been my favorite for many years, but I have been careful to not rip her hymen, so some fortunate man will see for himself her innocence."

"May we smoke opium to relax my growing desires for you, so I may fully enjoy your tantalizing of my senses Pensuwana."

"As you do my lord, I shall disrobe us and excite your will to remain composed." Much later as we lay next to one another smoking from my opium pipe, Kanako softly says, "Will you ever allow a man to take you as his wife Pensuwana."

"No my lord, after spending a life time entertaining married men, as their wives set at home tending their children, I shall never become one of them, besides I am far and away too much of a butterfly, or as I choose to refer to myself, a sprite, pollinating the cherry and plum blossom flowers of spring."

"I heard an interesting tail about your thoughts of being a sprite, and giving dying emperor's a glimpse of an alternate world from which you supposedly come from. That of sprites, fairies, pixies, nixies and the like, may a man who sees death coming humbly request you do the same for me."

I slid off my cushion and kiss his foot as I tearfully ask, "My lord, no...speak not of death so lightly, for it is not death as you see it but newness of life, to where you shall be transcended to, with your ancestors, to be worshipped and prayed to daily. The passing of one to that glorious house is the reward each one's Kami gives us, and yes my lord and master to do this for you will be my humble honor." "Pensuwana, the opium has taken its toll on my senses, I sleep now. You will not be here when I awake, so a sweet kiss I give you now."

After he is asleep I go back to my house, and Penase asks, "What a glorious way for me to have my flower taken, to have the man be one so noble as the lord Mayor."

"Do you desire him Penase."

"Oh, my yes mistress for he is so pleasing to behold and he thrills you so as he ravishes your tiny body, I would be so pleased to have him do so to me."

"Although this is not done, write your feelings in prose to the lord Mayor, he will surely respond positively toward your wishes, if you wish I shall personally see to it you have Kanako deflower you."

The next day I call Yukio and tell him, "We must go to the plum tree and wait for the child, your daughter to spring forth from it...you still cling to your disbelief, Yukio, soon you shall see I speak truthfully."

"I am lost in your love my precious Susiama at the same time I want to believe you, logic stops me."

"The ever pragmatic man of this century, where has the dreamers of old gone, long since dead I fear, part of an age gone by. Come my love and witness what mortal man refers to as a miracle."

As the child slowly crawls from the base of the tree, poor Yukio all but faints, weakly trying to say, "This cannot be, my daughter born of a plum tree...Susi, what sort of magical wonderment have you with in your being, to have such an impossible event happen as this."

"Yukio will you not pick the child up, she needs our care and love my precious, bring her in the house so I may wash the dirt and core of the tree from her skin." As I wash her, Yukio asks, "She is so perfect, not red and wrinkled as other babies are." "She did not spend 9 months swimming in a pool of liquid, wood sprite seeds when hatched are far advanced from mortal children, our daughter is even now much older then normal babies when they are born."

"This still has me puzzled, Susi you truly are an immortal...and to think...I have your love, can any man be more blessed."

"We are a family now my precious Yukio, name our daughter."

"Yuki Susiama, how is that."

"Prefect my darling love, please Yukio let nothing spoil our love."

Soon Kanako comes with several men who wish to bid on my precious Penase, so again I sent a large hall where we can all be and have geisha entertaining us, with dance and song, food and drink then my lovely Penase makes her appearance dressed as an Oiran geisha, and the men bid, Kanako did not mean to be the high bidder, but because Penase wanted him to deflower her I made sure he is, and as they are standing waiting for me to tell them where to go, I say, "My lord, take my lovely Penase to my bed chambers where you may enjoy your selves much better. After they leave one of the men here sees tears in my eyes and asks, "Madam I am Tugiwasa member of the emperor's high council, please may I be of comfort to you, I see your deep feelings for the ever so lovely young virgin we bid on...you know Kanako is a gentle man and will not harm her, please allow me to use my bid, to comfort you this night."

"I will be honored kind sir, each time one of my flowers lose their virginity I weep as you see, only because as we all have experienced, once taken it can never be again."

In another bed chamber Tugiwasa tells me, "I still remember when my father took me to an Oiran as a mere lad of only 12, and I lost my virginity, I was frightened out of my wits, she was not gentle, but harsh and demanding. To my shame I cried all the way through it, I had to bribe her so she would not reveal my weaknesses to my father, he never knew, it took me years to find that all women are not so callus during which time I entertained thoughts of young boys, and consummated my lust on quite a few, at long last a wonderfully tender woman seduced me and since my love life has forever been pleasing."

"it must be difficult for you to speak of such matters my lord."

"I had forgotten until I witnessed the tears in your eyes, and knew from whence they came, please my precious, favor me with your talents."

Tugiwasa is a pleasingly gentle but forceful man who satisfied my desires completely, and after as we smoked opium and drank sake, he asks, "Such a rare flower you are princess Pensuwana, this as if it were your 1st, as a deflowering of you, yet I know of your exploits and lovers, who are many. How does one so desirably irresistible manage to keep yourself seeming to be fresh and new."

"My lord, I am likened on to the spring blossoms on the cherry and plum trees, being renewed each spring in brilliant array hungering for the suns energy, and thirsting for the liquids of regeneration an new birth...may I say my lord, you are must pleasurably pleasing and refreshing to one so lowly humble as I."

"Tell me Pensuwana, this house it has been here for generations, how come you be it."

"Since the days of the Shammichi, in Osaka, Shimabara in Kyoto, and in Edo the Yoshiwara. my family has owned the finest house, when the emperor and shogun did so, I am but a descendant of a long line of Oiran, Tayu, although I do still have many who request the blissfulness of the Tayu with all my pomp and ceremony." "Yes as Kanako has told me, I wish to become a part of your desirous patrons who ask for your knowledge of old Japan and its beauty, you will find my pet, there are many of us who still cling to our glorious past, especially when it comes to enjoying femininity in its finest form, the Tayu and all your pomp and processions."

Looking joyful I ask, "My lord, please hold me, tell me sweet things, treat me as you would a wee child for you have caused Pensuwana such happiness and joy with your words of reassurance."

"By the spirits, you make love as a seasoned Tayu, yet you are seemingly so innocent and vulnerable...here my little sprite, let me hold you in my arms, and protect you from this cruel world which dares change our ways...then may I assume you will take on Patrons."

"As now I have only one, so oh my yes, I will be so pleased to again have those who know my talents and appreciate my humble attempts to satisfy and please lords of mighty Japan such as yourself."

After Tugiwasa leaves I feel as if a newness of life has been born within my being, in the midst of the careless ness I witness around me there are still those who favor what I hold so dearly the royal processions of the Tayu, the words of love written in prose, sending them back and forth, until I favor the men who hungers for my extraordinary abilities to render them helpless before me because of my overwhelming and euphorically induced delirium they so willingly surrender to and feed upon so desperately. Praise the spirits, true beauty and honor in Japan has not died. The next morning late Penase comes to me and asks, "Do you always feel drained of your being my mistress...Kanako is so over powering and pleasingly forceful in his delivery, I enjoyed him so much the pain was not to be even noticeable...I can have these expressions of love from now on, please my mistress, I adore men."

"Oh, Penase I am so happy for you, yes my love, I shall put you in my paper, as Oiran Geisha, you know enough music to please even the strictest of men, you will be my prize Oiran, my precious, young tender and so very loving, now tell me how you rendered him weak from your desirably irresistible intoxication... do not leave one thing out I must hear it all."

Joyful Penase raved on until I had to stop her because I have to ready myself for this afternoon when yet another noble lord comes to see me. lord Kendo Toshama of Hiroshima comes to me the 1st time, under suggestion from Kanako, as he impatiently awaits my arrival in a tea house he has geisha entertaining him, to my disfavor drinking far too much, so as I enter, he harshly pulls me to himself covering my lips with his, in a sloppy almost sake dripping wet kiss, slaps my ass as he says, "Bitch will you keep me waiting all day."

Alas I am caught, if I deny him what will Kanako say, if I submit will he harm me, so I pull away, kiss his foot as I ask, "Please my lord, I am but a humble servant for your lust this day, would you not be far more pleased with my performances if you had not drank so much."

His complete attitude changes as he asks, "I know you have the right to deny me, please I plead, do not, allow time so I may recover, it is my nervousness that caused me to drink too much."

"My lord...you nervous from knowing you are to be with me, how come you by this feeling."

"So many have told me of your remarkable talents and abilities, although I am a great man as far as men know, my possible worth to women is questionable...if you turn me down shall I ever live under the scorn of my fellow ministers."

"How admirably noble of you to admit such a thing to a common Tayu...I shall stay, be not harsh with me for no reason, I do enjoy roughness during love, but only as a part of it, not brutality for brutalities sake...Geisha tea for my honored lord. Also my lord, let me light my opium pipe, the opium will calm your nerves." Unfortunately it also causes him to become so useless I then tell the geisha you will say nothing of this, guards carry lord Kendo to the sleeping room here, I will stay with him, even though he is rather useless sexually."

As lord Kendo awakes the next morning seeing me setting next to him he asks, "I made a proper fool of myself, I would not blame you if you told my associates of this terrible performance of mine."

"And cause you embarrassment, why would I ever do that, my lord you are a very handsome man, was your nervousness caused because you favor young boys and not women."

"How very perceptive of you Pensuwana, yes, I have a few who I have in my bed nightly."

"But you choose to not have any one know this, therefore we have spent a very enjoyable night of blissful love, you pleased me and I satisfied your desires, tell your friends I swooned to your expertise."

"Why will you do this for me Pensuwana, what have I done for you, but embarrass you in front of those Geisha."

"No my lord you did not, I bribed them to be still over your lack of performance. Now let us part, I have another I must see shortly."

"Your fee Pensuwana."

"Yes my lord that I must have, it is a matter of pride to me, 2 million Yen."

And he leaves knowing his secret is safe with me. actually I must go to the palace to see my sweet Layeasu, who is getting older, but needs my council, after we are settled and Tenasi is here also, he asks, "Susi we now have a generation in Russia, and they are requesting independence what is your thinking on this."

"Let them have it my lord, better you give it to them, then they take it, and forever be your enemy, since Japanese troops have been there, they now have what we have in power and new weapons, you do not want to fight again your own countrymen, Russia will be a great ally, better than an enemy, we have China for all practical purposes, except they are their own nation and our ally, the same will be with Russia."

"Susi will you stay with Tenasi this night, I no longer desire the company of women, but Tenasi still needs physical contact...and Susi thank you for your thoughts."

The next morning as Tenasi and I have breakfast out in the orchard she asks, "You remember Henriti."

"How can I forget we were lovers and I loved her dearly."

"The home she had in the mountains you know is one of the imperial families residences now, will you go there with me, I do want to be in the country for a time this spring, and I cannot choose any one I would rather be with than you Susi." "You are most kind to ask me my mistress, I am so honored by your invitation. And yes I can go, but stay only a short time I have many now who require my presence."

"Why do you tie yourself to that business when you have wealth beyond what any of us can probably imagine."

"I am not tied, I enjoy men's desires toward me, they cause my arrogance to maintain its haughtiness."

"You nasty girl, you tease those poor men until they are crazy in love with you, and laugh at them behind their backs do you not."

"Why do you think such about me, have I ever given you that idea...but probably you are correct, what other use does a man have for a woman then to render them helpless before us, tease, torment, tantalize and overwhelm them with our lustfulness, then cast them aside when they are of no further value to us, but now I have older men who enjoy the Tayu yet, so I have the pomp and processions through the streets regularly again."

"And what did you do with that foolish love sick American ambassador."

"Told him to leave and not come back until he grows up and realizes what I am. He called me a filthy whore and left, I have not seen him since."

"Ooohhh...Susi he did not, you a whore as if you will ever give yourself away, not if there is Yen to be made from your tender ass...oh, darling I have hurt you, please forgive me."

"No darling it is not that, it is that I have...I have given myself to a man who thrilled and excited me so, I loved him deeply, but as all men what they do not pay for they use and cast aside... not actually but close."

"May I know who this so very fortunate man is."

"A few life times ago, I had a man servant who loved me deeply, I treated him terribly, he came with me to the palace when I married Togisaki, stayed until he died, then one day not that long ago, a man came to me and I discovered he to be Yukio's descendant...all my past guilt rose up within me and I willingly made him my lover, I planted a wood sprit seed from our union and we have an adorably cute little girl, as Yukio and I have a wonderfully pleasing relationship, I become saddened every now and then asking myself why I could not have given the 1st Yukio this much of me."

"Then stop it, this man's Kami looked you up it is as if the tow of you have another chance, fly with it Susi."

"Thank you so very much for those words my darling because he loves his daughter and plays with her every chance he has. Still he desires me...also...even though he know what I am...and will forever be."

"Do you ever regret becoming in mortal form. Do you not long for the carefree life of the sprit you were."

"I return often especially when a mortal is with me so they can have a glimpse of another world no one even realizes exists."

"Susi...will you show it to me while we are in the mountains."

"Oh, Tenasi, how magical of you to ask, possibly we may find some elves and gnomes also, most of the time all I call for are the fairies, pixies, nixies, and sprites."

"Elves...Gnomes how can you catch one of those."

"I must be very quick, and grab them by an ear, they cannot bit me that way."

"Are you teasing me now...I am not sure I believe all this."

"It matters little my darling when we are there, you shall see...now allow me to go to my house and leave word, I am on a vacation...for 2 weeks only, if only Yuki were old enough to enjoy this, Tenasi, please do not seduce me into staying longer."

"I shall not attempt to...unless I know I can, after all those nasty, horny men can wait, for once I have you to myself I shall not let you go easily...all fun aside Susi, you know how deep my love is for you, if I never was touched by another, but you, I will pass on to the next life a pleased and fulfilled woman...oh...now what did I say, you are so tender hearted, you do long for a simple life do you not my love." Fighting back my tears I reply, "Tenasi you are such an adorably precious woman to me, if only...no...I really cannot think that way, I have set my course there is no changing it now."

Back at my house I send runners to all my patrons telling them I have left for the mountains for 2 weeks rest, pack and, kiss Yukio and Yuki good bye for 2 weeks and Tenasi and I leave, as we are riding out of Tokyo she asks, "This will be a long trip, days we shall be on the road, have you any way of entertaining us."

Putting my finger to my nose I tell Tenasi, "Watch closely...do not take your eyes off my finger, and do not blink...see darling my many ones."

Tenasi gasps, and screams, frightening them away, as she says, "They are sprites." "Please darling do not scream, they frighten easily, although they cannot understand you, speak softly, and tell them how precious they are...I shall assist you."

I disappear and land on her shoulder as yell, "Tenasi, look on your shoulder... see I am here, I call again and the coach is full of my many ones, as on through that day we play and whisper to my many ones, but even realizing the coach has stopped until the driver opens the door, they scatter as he says, "Empress, we are here." Poor Tenasi amazed and awe struck asks, "So soon how can we be, is it not days ride."

The driver mystified at her question, just replies, "we have been your majesty, look see your country home."

Saying no more we go in, have our things put away, telling the servants to open the house, then Tenasi asks, "Susi explain this to me...please." "my ever so precious darling love, time for us moved very quickly, but not for any out side our carriage...it is magic my love, pure and simple."

"Easy for you to say...magic indeed, sorcery I think...but you are, are you not, a sorceress."

"In more ways than I can have you know darling, ask for our dinner, so we may relax the rest of the evening...I wish you naked as I shall be...this night I will tempt my powers over darkness and see if I can catch a gnome...or elf for you to see."

"You, go out after dark, I thought you were afraid of the dark."

"I am, it is then the goblins & trolls lurk to see if they can catch one of us and eat us."

"They eat humans."

"No precious sprites, fairies, nixies and pixies, we are as sweet candy to them...but I have long wanted to see if I can catch an elf or gnome."

"May we put it in a cage and keep it."

"Heavens no darling as soon as I let go of his ear he will disappear...I wish I was as brave as I was as a sprite, then we could find a goblin cave and go down it, and find them too, they run from humans...but then we will never fit in their caves."

"I still think you are teasing me Susi, let me see these you believe to be so."

"Now when we are there I must become a sprite, and find a gnome or elf, once I do I will change quickly and have him by an ear, so do not become frightened when I am no longer next to you."

She was not pleased with me telling her that but goes along because Tenasi's interest has gotten her so she has to see what I am talking about, shortly I am gone, and she asks, "Susi are you here."

Fluttering in front of her face I say, "I will not be far, shall I leave you some company."

"Who."

"Some of my many ones."

"Yes, please do."

No sooner that said and suddenly I am setting next to Tinasi with a little bearded man yelling nasty things at me while I hold his ear. Tenasi jumps and screams, then weakly asks, "What is that."

"This is Pehoo, a gnome and he is very upset at me for fooling him as I did, he had just caught me, when I changed back into mortal form and had him by his ear." "May I touch him."

"As long as I have his ear he cannot harm us."

So Tenasi gingerly touches him on his head and he yells at her, scaring her, she jumps again and screams, by now all my many ones far gone because of her screaming as the gnome just stands there cussing us out terribly, so Tenasi asks, "What is he saying."

"You do not want to know...his language is terrible."

"What can we do with him. Cannot we make friends with him."

"Possibly, let me try, do you have any food on you."

"Cookies."

"Great, they love sweets."

I give him a cookie as I speaking ion his language say, "We mean you no harm my lover and I wanted to see you, Pehoo you are a great person to us, please be nice we have lots of Cookies in side." So he replies, "I know you, you are that sprite who became mortal...and why, so you can have this thing mortals call love in your life." "Do you not dare tell me you do not know love, you gnomes have wives and children...and speaking of them are you living well. I can help.' "Mortal never help they take and take, so little room for us is left." "please Pehoo, let me help you, can we not be friends, I can have this area become larger for you, supply food and whatever you need, even though you were going to eat me, I understand why, you poor man you are hungry, if you promise I will let you go, and get whatever you want from the house there, and it will be yours. Remember I am a sprite at heart." "Alright, 1st you let me go...there that hurt my ear, how did you know to hold it so I could not harm you...oh...that is right, you are one of those tasty sprites...well where is my stuff." "We are not in the house, and you have not told me what you need and want...oh another matter once I have supplied you with what you need no more eating my kind."

"I will never agree to that, nor will any of us, you are far too tasty. Now where is my stuff." "Well shit little man give us time to get in the house, you keep giving me a bad time and the next time I get your ear, I will bit it off." Then he actually gets on his knees and pleads, "No, please no, you know I cannot live without my ears." "alright then let us go." Poor Tenasi not knowing any of this I tell her what we talked about, once at the house I ask, "Food, what kind, blankets, material for clothing...whatever I have you can have."

"Anything Pensuwana... I am sorry I am such a grouch but you know why, mortals beat us down so much."

After he has all he can carry, we help him with more, and we walk way out in the wooded area and then we come upon a hollow tree, at the base of it, is his home, so I ask, "Is your family here may we see them."

"Pensuwana, is this mortal woman a good friend can I trust her."

"Pehoo I love her as I do myself."

"Then I will get them."

After he goes in the tree Tenasi asks, "I heard your name the one you use now Pensuwana, how did he know it."

"It is my sprite name Tenasi, I use it now."

"Oh...my darling now precious...it is your real name."

Soon he comes out with his wife who is really scared, and 6 little tiny children, so I ask, "Do you have room enough here, may I Build you a better home. Oh sorry what is your wife's name."

"Penne and my children are Pehu, Tehu, Hetu, "Wetu, yetu and Wildu as you can see he does not stay still long so we call him Wildu...how can you build us a home that will not be seen Pensuwana."

"As a sprite I was magical, as a mortal it is larger, watch my little man."

Suddenly the tree becomes larger, their home with it, as soon it is very large, and I tell Pehoo, "Shall I divide it into rooms or can you do that."

"Give me the wood and I can I am a very good builder."

"Tomorrow I will bring some, now Pehoo, will you be our friends."

"What can I do to be friends to you Pensuwana."

"Only let us see you when we want, and talk to you, to make sure all is good with you, any other gnomes you know of tell them they have a friend in the mortal worlds, I Pensuwana, the sprite of old, who became mortal will assist them in any way I can...please believe me, we mean you no harm."

"Then this calls for some ale, you do drink ale don't you."

"Oh yes we certainly do...what kind is it."

"Clover...but be careful because it is stout. It is a man's drink so you mortal women better make sure you are where you want to be before you drink any, or you'll never get there."

So we set, told stories and got so drunk neither Tenasi or I could walk back to the house and slept on the ground out side his tree house, and the little shit ass woke us up at dawn yelling, "Mortal women, I told you, now please I must work can you move."

"Sleepily and with a terrible hang over I ask, "What do you do Pehoo."

"I mine, digging for gold, silver and diamonds, then I take them to a gnome I know who some how has gotten a way to trade them for what we need."

"Please show me and tell me what you get for it."

He goes back in the house, and comes back with a golden nugget worth probably a few million Yen, and tells us, this size rock is worth a weeks food."

"Pehoo, I will give you a years worth of food for it."

"You my poor mortal are still drunk."

"No my friend you are being cheated...please do me a large favor, keep all you mine, and after I have this land 10 times the size it is now, I will come back see what you have and pay you a fair price for it."

"Take this, bring me a piece of paper proving to me its worth."

"Good before we leave we will empty the house of all the food there, plus more blankets if you want and cloth for clothing."

"Pensuwana, if you can do this for us, whatever you ask I will do my best to help you also."

"If it were not for your wife I would kiss you Pehoo, you are a sweet man."

So soon we leave, making sure he has all the food that can be left out, it took me a long time to explain all this to Tenasi, but after she sees the gold nugget and hears what he was getting for it, she tells me, "We must help these little people Susi...Pensuwana...such a lovely name, Pensuwana...fitting an even lovelier young woman...but Pensuwana how can you take care of them and your men also." "Perhaps it is time for me to retire from what I have been for centuries, I can always go back to being a courtesan, men will never change."

A few days later I have purchased all the land I need in that area, piled 4 wagons with food that will keep without being cold, all kinds of cloth, wooden boards, walling material. Wrote letters to all my patrons telling them I have left Tokyo, put my house under Penase's watchful care and went back up into the mountains, having sold the gold nugget and bought all this food with the Yen, especially since Yen will have no meaning to Pehoo, but when he sees how much food it bought he will see he has been cheated...and how does a gnome go about getting food for gold, then it hits me a house elf...if I ever catch him look out...elf you cheating little shit. Altering time I am back there in a day, and have the wagons brought to where I know I will soon see Pehoo, so after the men who hauled them leave I call my many ones, who show me where Pehoo lives, so I tell him, "Look my sweet friend see all those wagons, they are full of food, that is what I got for your gold nugget." "Pensuwana...please wait here while I get the rest of the gnomes who live here. As I wait, here comes a few hundred of them, very frightened of me they stay far enough away as Pehoo tells them what I have done, and shows them the food. After several days of listening to them argue over if they can trust me, once they do, the ale is served and we all become rather intoxicated, much later, I find myself the object of 4 aggressive little gnomes who are actually making love to me, and it is either my drunken condition or they really are pleasing to me, but I become totally lost in their will over me, as I awake the next morning with what is known as a hangover, as I move, Poo one of the gnomes, asks, "Do we please you Pensuwana, you sure do us."

"How would I know, you seem to have gotten me drunk, and I certainly cannot know whither you were or not."

"The overseer assigned us to you, telling us to keep you pleased with us, so you will continue helping us."

"Is this a bribe of some sort, I do not need to be sexually satisfied to help you, my purpose is to make your way of living better, not expend your young unmarried men of their energies."

"Either way you lovely mortal creature we did and will continue enjoying you, come let us show you our dwellings."

As I am shown where all these little people live I am amazed at their resourcefulness, as a whole village of hundreds is right here in the mountains so neatly hidden no one walking through here could ever find them, then I am taken to the overseer, who asks, "I am told you are pleased with the young men I gave you."

"Yes, my lord, but they are not necessary, my purpose here is to assist you, not to be the object of young men's desires."

"That matters little, you enjoy them that is enough...you may leave now."

Later that day, after we have eaten, damn if Poo doesn't kiss me and tell me, "I want you badly Pensuwana, you will give yourself to us won't you."

"You are so adorably cute, yes Poo, take me."

"1st some ale, to help us enjoy what we do."

Much later the ale, much stronger than I had remembered causing me to be rather drunk again, and after all of them had expended their energies upon my body, as we lay out in the open, me nude, with dozens of other little men and women looking on I ask, "As a sprite I spied on you enough to know you do not openly make love as we have been doing, so why are we."

"Here Pensuwana, have one of our smokes and concern yourself no more of those who watch us, they as we are simply marveling over your stamina."

As I smoke I become feeling needful of more of their lustfulness and actually pull one, Pal by name, to me and kiss him passionately. Later again with me lost in delirium and euphoria I weakly ask, "please my lovers, no more now, I tire... you are so very pleasing to me, but even a whore such as I, must rest."

"So Pal replies, "Nonsense Pensuwana, we are so small, you can stand against our lust for you easily. The whole day must have been spent with them making wanton sex to me, as I awake it is morning, after we eat, damn if they don't want more of me, as between the smoking and ale, days I think go by with me in a drugged and drunken stupor weakly continue to submit to their inhuman demands on me, until one morning I wake and feeling sober ask, "What is going on here, why have you kept me weakened and drugged so that I am helpless to resist your advances." "Pensuwana, please you precious mortal female have a smoke, ale, relax you sweet large woman and enjoy us."

"No more, get away from me."

Now me fully awake they scatter, and I go out and find Pehoo, and ask, "Why am I kept in a half drunken state, and practically raped because of my weakened condition, endlessly weakening me terribly." "A thousands pardons Pensuwana...I tried to tell the overseer we can trust you but since you were long ago a teasing sprite, now a harmful mortal he does not trust you at all, and wants you kept weak so you can't harm us."

"Oh my...what shit is this, try to tell the overseer he will either learn to take me at face value, or I shall leave you as I found you, being cheated for you mining and barely living, gather all and tell them I am taking what you have and selling it, bringing back what you need, give me a list, also tell, not ask the overseer to come to me, I have matters for him alone."

So as they get all they've mined so far on my wagons, the overseer asks, "What is it you want, who are you to demand to see me."

"Listen little man, I gave up my life to assist your people to have a better life, I have given you nothing but trust and loyalty and my vow to assist you, for this I am kept drunk, raped several times during this, forced into the sick perverted sexual lusts and passions of your single men, and not even allowed to enjoy them because of this, either I have your trust, or I shall leave you as I found you...test me not, my magic is far superior to whatever means you only think you have against me."

"You will need to prove yourself to me."

"I humbly agree, in what way may I do that."

"Show me your magic, what can it do to us."

"As you command my lord."

He falls to the ground and cannot move except his voice so he asks, "What is this, I can't move...guards overpower this mere mortal woman cast her in the pit."

As they run in they too are paralyzed unable to even stand, so I then tell the overseer, "If I wish I can do this to you all, then call for the goblins and trolls to come and eat you...please Pen, I do love the men you gave me, they please me greatly, but I shall not continue to allow them to keep me drunkenly weak, because of your inability to see a good thing for your people when I have done nothing but treat you all with respect...Pehoo, tell this fool I mean what I have said."

So the overseer hesitantly says, "I see your logic...possibly I have been unfair with you, please once again do as you have promised once you return with our needs...I yield to your sincerity...but please Pensuwana, see my side of this, how can I easily trust one such as you, a teasing sprite, become a mortal woman who, without regard to yourself and your personal needs, to give up your former life for us, isn't that against all moral reasoning."

I ponder his words, then kneel before him, having released him as I ask, "Please my master forgive my outburst and allow me to continue with my mission to you all...I will upon my return find and neutralize the trolls and goblins who prey on you so you may never fear them again."

"Pensuwana you can do this, wonder."

"Only if I have your love and devotion...for I shall no longer allow you to use my body as a hole for your young men to masturbate in."

Left as it is, I go back to Tokyo, sell what I have and go to the palace to see the family, seeing my weak son Layeasu nearing death and realizing I have not spent enough time with crown prince Herosaki I ask, "Please my lord and master may Tenasi, and Herosaki come back with me to the mountain retreat where I may instruct Herosaki in his future rule, pleasure Tenasi and prepare myself to see you off to your life with our ancestors, so the people will worship and pray to you for generations to come."

"Yes Susi, if you will, thank you, I shall be here upon your return."

So as we begin our trip Herosaki asks, " Princess Susiama why do you have all this basic food stuff, there must be enough here to feed several hundred people for months."

Even before I can reply, Tenasi asks, `I am wondering too, what have you been going up there all this time, we sent runners to ask you to come to see us, who all returned saying you were still in the mountains."

"Better I wait and show you, other wise you probably will be some what reluctant to believe me."

"You have not, oh may my son we are in for a great treat...am I not right Pensuwana, and Herosaki, Pensuwana is Susi's real name from long ago." Upon our arrival, after the men have gone, I call and our comes the overseer and a few of his guards, so he looks through what I brought to them and kneels as he says, "Pensuwana please forgive an old man's mistrust, I am 7 hundred years now, never have I trusted Sprites, and especially never mortals, you are both and have proven me so very wrong."

I reach down and help him up as I say, "My lord your distrust is commendable, if you were any less vigilant possibly your people would not be as safe as they have been under your guidance...also my lord may I introduce you to the empress of the Japanese empire and crown prince Herosaki."

"It is my place to be honored by meeting you, pardon me for not being so honored, but Mortals in general are not kind to gnomes and the wee peoples from middle earth, but you being close to one who has proven her value and love for my people I welcome you and graciously ask you to be relaxed and enjoy our company."

So Tenasi says, "Thank you my lord, since Pensuwana has befriended you, I know we will, my son Herosaki pay honor to this great man."

Herosaki just stands there looking as if he is dreaming, then finally asks, "Are these little people real or have I been some how put to sleep."

So I ask him, "Please your highness, whatever your thoughts are say something to this mighty chief of the mountain gnomes."

Hesitantly Herosaki says, "It is my honor to meet you sir."

Then Pen says to me, "He like I is distrusting of what he sees, with your permission I will have the crown prince pleasantly relaxed."

"The empress also my lord, they are in need of relaxing as you witness."

A bright smile on my face as I say that, so Tenasi asks, "Pensuwana...what have you allowed to happen to us."

I kiss her lips and Herosaki's as I ask them, "Please, if you will allow yourselves to be taken to a world where I have spent the past several weeks, if my lord will may the crown prince have women to himself."

"Pensuwana you ask much...Haaa-haaa...yes we can do that, we have many young girls who will find him desirably irresistible...my children take these two and give them smokes and ale, treat them as you did Pensuwana, give them memories they will never forget. Pensuwana, may we be alone."

"Yes my lord, what do you require of me."

"I am alone now my wife long since faded way, please you desirably precious bitch allow an old man to ravish your body...it has been so very long since I felt one so easy to look at close to me."

"A bitch am I, shame on you, my lord, but so be it, take me."

The next morning as I awake, I see Pen setting at the table, drinking tea, or so I thought, as he sees me awake he hands me a cup and says, "Be careful it is strong."

As I sip it, I taste honey, so I ask, "Mead my lord."

Yes, it takes years to ferment but it is well worth it, Pensuwana, many thanks for last night, did you enjoy me as much as I enjoyed you."

"Yes, my lord, I certainly did, I wonder now why I ever thought mortal men were worth the effort I put into seducing them."

"You truly are a rare prize to have Pensuwana, and you will keep me young, will you give up those 4 men and be mine."

"You are so very fulfilling, my lord, how can I refuse, your beard is rough on my face, but I can become used to that...and speaking of roughness, let us find these Goblins and trolls who you told me about." "You told me, neutralize them...what do you mean." "My magic has limits Pen, but I can cause them to not see Gnomes and elves, then we can have fun with them, teasing and they will not know from where the teasing comes."

"Pensuwana, you have never totally lost the sprite in you, no we will not tease them we will just leave them alone, if you want to tease them go ahead, but do it away from us."

"No my lord, you word is my command as long as I am your woman."

"I will like having you under my will and authority, especially since to us you are so large, and might I say most desirably tempting even now after I have actually expended my energies on you."

"My gracious master would you enjoy me cuddling you close to me."

"My god woman am I a child in your mind, shit no...now clean my house, wash my cloths, make bread, pies, cakes, cookies and be ready to go about the dwellings with me this afternoon."

"My lord the goblins and trolls, what do is your wish I do."

"That subject has passed, do as you promised."

"I will need some men to go with me late tonight."

He becomes angry with me as he yells, "Well shit bitch, do I need to hold your hand with every step you take."

"Please my lord and master be not angry with me, please remember I am but a weak mortal woman, and need men's guidance."

"Ooohhh, Pensuwana..."

He kisses my lips and he rubs my ass and smiling says, "Be humble and submissive, this way toward me, I know I am a bastard to live with, but I will treat you well. After I have finished what he told me to do, we go and he simply looks through several dwellings, correcting certain ones on what they have in their caves. Long after dark the 4 young men who previously done such a great job of keeping me helpless by me being either drugged or drunk, and I went looking for trolls and goblins, and I am surprised to find they are closer than I would have expected, my little men using themselves as bait, get caught by 3 goblins, only to have the goblins facing me, as they try to run, I grab 2 by his large toe on his left foot and he is helpless, seeing what I did, Poo does the same and yells, "Pensuwana, it works."

"Yes now all of you stand so they can see you, and watch."

Shortly one yells, "What is holding my toe...I cannot see a thing."

So we let go and the goblins all quickly, or at least in their slow dumb way, look around and seeing no one near they go back in their cave grumbling to themselves. Over the next several weeks I neutralize all the goblins and trolls, only the 2nd night I am with Pen as we are setting, smoking from his pipe, he asks, "You will never totally be mine will you Pensuwana."

"My darling please do not toy words with me, what is on your mind."

"You belong to the mortal world now, and some day you will go back."

I lean close and kiss his lips as I say, "Pen my dearest, you have lived 700 years, I have lived 100,000 years, time no longer has meaning for me, if we remain good to one another and you soften and learn to love me, I shall stay with you until you fade away."

Pen looks sad as he tells me, " Love, a young man's dream of how he will feel toward the one he chooses to have live with him...can an old man such as I learn love again Pensuwana, and if I do, and you leave me, I will be heart broken as I was when SoSo faded away...possibly so much I will fade away." Holding him close to my breasts, I say, "My poor dear Pen, my sweet darling, how may I convince you of my devotion to you."

"Will you allow me to impregnate you, and plant wood sprite seeds who will be my children."

"Have you none of your own master."

"No...poor SoSo never became with child...but I know you can, please my precious Pensuwana."

"I will; but only after you have treated me this way for a few years. So I may know you truly love me, leave behind this bastard who yells at me, and show me tenderness and gentleness, pleasantly taking me as many nights as you have strength and holding me close telling me of your deep love for me."

"You really want me to act like a young love sick boy."

"Yes my lord, that is my condition."

"Then take off my beard, let me feel as a young man and help me learn to love you."

After a few weeks Tenasi and Herosaki make ready to go back to Tokyo and I have felt the emperor needing me so I tell Pen, "My darling please allow me to go to Edo with Tenasi and Herosaki, the emperor is dying I must be with him." "You have renewed my life Pensuwana, please promise you will return to me." "My darling I have learned to love you so dearly, if I do not, to be away from you will surly render me useless, and there is much to be done, so I cannot allow that to happen to me." So we load the wagons and travel to Edo, and as soon as we are there, I know I will never stay now, Japan is at war, the high council has taken control of the government, so once again the emperor is only one to be worshipped with no political power, foreigners are so many now and everywhere, I go to my house and find Penase has left it, and it is as nasty and filthy as the rest of the Yoshiwara, the rest of my girls choosing to be common prostitutes and earning more Yen, by having many men nightly, so I magically pack my many kimonos, and all else I want, walk away and go to the palace where I take my beloved son and emperor, Layeasu, out in the orchard, as he asks, "Pensuwana it is winter, it is cold out there."

"Possibly my darling let us go and see."

As we get to where I wish the sun shines, the snow melts, the trees blossom my many ones flutter out to see my son off to the next life and Layeasu marvels at all he sees, letting me kiss his lips as he dies. As I set, with his head on my lap Herosaki comes out and asks, "How do you stand it Pensuwana, so very many you have seen born, and died...is immortality worth having to see all this death."

"Herosaki," I cry out, "Please do not cause me more sadness...is this not enough...I choice my path, so I must live it, as you will now live yours...my precious emperor, praise the Kami, you are emperor of Japan, now before the ceremonies begin go to the orchard Shinto Shrine and pray to the Kami for wisdom, strength, Knowledge, and most of all gentleness with your subjects, for nothing else matters unless they love, worship and pray to you."

"My dearest Pensuwana you will now go back will you not, will I ever see you again."

"Yes my brave emperor, more than you now believe."

During all this Yukio had taken his daughter and left, leaving an address where I can write and or come to them. Weeks later as I arrive at the gnomes settlement, Pen runs to me, actually crying with joy over my return, kissing my lips, pressing tight against them, he asks, "Please tell me you have missed me as much as I have you."

"Better feel my heart my darling it beats wildly at my return to you...have you the time my lord, for I have been true to you, and need you within me desperately now."

As others take care of the wagon loads, Pen and I go to our little tree base home. the sun still high in the sky, as we wake later, it is the next morning, and he tells me, "How I missed your tender touch, the warmth of you close to me, the quickness of your breathing as we make love, the thrill of you climaxing as I do also, and this, your sweet softness after as you lay so close sweat can't form between us...how soon will you plant wood sprite seeds my dearest." "You were so powerful last night my lord, I have 6 to plant this day, 3 months and you will be a father."

"Oh joyful day, dress, we must tell every one, my love is with child."

"Wait my master remember sprites do not live within me, but are nurtured by fruit trees."

Stopping him there, he asks, "What will we have, a cross between a sprite and gnome."

"Trust me my lord, perfect tiny little gnome babies...you do not think I would allow you anything less do you...Pen my precious my love is far too strong to not give you exactly what you have wanted all these years. planting them now, they will come out of the tree in spring."

Winter up here is such we cannot do much of anything, the younger ones play in the snow but must be careful because if they fall into very deep snow we may never find them, but the older gnomes almost hibernate staying partly intoxicated and doped from the weed we smoke, eating very little and making love every second we have the energy to consummate it, then just dopey like laying very close necking up a tornado. Winter is when many younger ones are lost to wild animals up here, because like the Kami's every creature they hunger also, so Pen asks, "Pensuwana, is it possible for you to keep our young safe from the animals who will eat them if they see them."

"Oh, pen, how horror able, yes, of course. No raccoon is going to eat one of our younger men...I know it is late for this but can we somehow gather all the young ones who play our side, and I will do a reverse enchantment on them so they cannot be seen by any thing but another gnome. Months later Pen's 6 little word sprites hatch and roll out of the apple tree we planted them in, after that it was as if that is all he was waiting for, as there are times I would look at him and almost see through him...my poor darling Pen has begun to fade away, so he asks, "You will be with me as I fade away won't you Pensuwana." "Pen my darling we have only been together 2 years most you fade away so soon." "You of all, should know we have no choice in this, come my precious little sprite this is a day of rejoicing not crying."

Out side our little house I watch as the little love of mine fades into the ground under his body.' I light one of his pipes and become rather goofy and set there drinking heather ale getting drunk and goofier by the minute, until I undress and dance around naked, as many young single men come out strip and dance with me, until we are all so pooped, drunk, doped we fall on the ground and fall asleep. as I awake the next morning I have a dozen or more young naked men laying around me, and one rolls on top of me and says, "We passed out before we consummated Pen's fading way."

Pushing him off me I tell him, "I am not that naive remember little man I have been long before any of you were, I know the fading away process, and what you have in mind is not part of it."

Later some women come to me and one asks, `Pensuwana, you need ones to raise your young."

"Yes, but they are your young they are gnomes. How do I go about having this taken care of."

"You must take to the new overseer."

"Who and where do I find him." Then Pehoo walks to me and tells me, "I am Pensuwana, can you believe it, they all wanted me, your...no our young gnome children, women, take one each. Pensuwana as the sprite who planted them, what hold do you have on them."

"I ask nothing my lord, I planted them only because my darling Pen wanted young..."

"Pensuwana what will you do now."

"After we have enough minerals I shall take them to Edo, exchange for gold, buy what we need and come back...remember Pehoo, my vow is to you all not Pen."

"You naturally have to open yourself to our young men, or will you allow one to marry you."

"No my lord, I shall; never wed. and I shall be pleased to accommodate whoever has a desire for me...or how many ever."

"Go to your own home now Pensuwana, I shall come by later and tell you if it is as it should be...you do know you will be overwhelmed with young men who desire you."

"I do pray so my master, life would not be worth living if it were not so."

A few weeks from then I head once again for Tokyo, take care of my business and go to the palace where I find Herosaki and his new bride, Tunase as he sees me he runs to me, kisses my lips sweetly and says, "oh good you have come back to us, you are here to stay."

"Oo my darling, I have found love there, I have had 6 little children...you do remember who I now live with."

"Pensuwana, I no longer think of that as actually happening, it is just too unbelievable...gnomes, Goblins...word sprites...come now Pensuwana surly you do not still cling to those foolish beliefs. So stay here this is much better then living alone."

"But my precious do you not hear, I have 6 children, and a true love in my life.' I lied. So he says, "if I need you how will you know."

"Emperor Herosaki, you will never be without my closeness, not even if you do not call my name if you are overly troubled I shall know., as it has been for generations it is with you."

"Now Pensuwana please do not expect me to believe all this either...you as the rest of us have your life span to live."

Seeing he thinks he knows what he is talking about, I reply, "Of course my lord, how silly of me, well really I do have a long journey so I must leave now."

I no sooner get back and Pehoo comes to me and tells me, "The women who have the children want you to tell them who they really are, it is not...well ever that a former sprite, now mortal has mated with one of us and planted 6 wood sprite seeds we all voted on this, they must be raised to know their heritage."

I fall to the ground and kiss his foot as I say, tears running down my face, "Ooohhh...my master, overseer you have caused me great joy and happiness by allowing me this rare privilege." "Please stand Pensuwana, I have chosen 4 men for you to either keep for your pleasures, or pick one or more to keep you warm nights."

"Thank you overseer, I will probably keep them all for now."

"At what age will you begin instructing the children gnomes."

"Now my lord, as I have all my children is past days, even though they understand not, their subconscious learns, and they come into the age of understanding having this in their minds. But you need not have them come to me, I shall visit them nightly."

"Pensuwana...am I supposed to understand what you just told me." "no my lord."

"Oh more magic."

"Well sorcery plus spiritualism...I do not appear, they only hear my voice in their minds."

He looks around making sure no one can hear, then tells me, "Pensuwana, please if nothing else make sure we never anger you... for you truly are a goddess of which we can have no defense against."

I kneel before him as I reply, "I once again will commit my life and ability to the gnome families here, my I die a horror able death if I ever break this vow, by the great Kami who gave me mortal form and keeps us all, I so swear...master command, I shall obey."

He lifts me up and kisses my lips passionately, then says, "Too many of us married men love you dearly Pensuwana, if we could, we would all not only desire you as we do, but consummate this desire."

"Then my lord I would be driven out, as a filthy whore by your wives."

I go to my little cave under the very large tree, and inside here are my mates, surprisingly the same four I had before, so I laugh as I tell them, "Praise by you have come back to me, come my loves please me."

Poo, who always has something to say about everything, then tells me, "Not without pleasuring ourselves on this lusciously large body of yours, Pensuwana."

"1st my sweet men let us drink ale and smoke so we are goofy and happy as we love one another. We all vote one day about how often I must go and bring back supplies, in the end it is once a summer, toward the end, and it is all put in a large supply house, so months later after my yearly trip and we are set for winter, Pehoo asks, "this winter will the enchantment continue to keep our young men safe as they play in the snow."

"Yes my lord, enchantments are in the air around us, not within persons." "Pensuwana the children you gave life to, they are healthier, stronger and learning faster than any others...will you plant more wood sprite seeds come late winter."

"Pehoo...I must remind you of the natural order of nature, you are gnomes, I a former sprite now mortal if we pursue what I am seeing in your mind the gnomes as we now know you to be...shall cease to exist, and your kind will be a cross between mortal, sprit and gnome...your loving families will also cease, because they all come from a tree, that is why I pleaded and begged the Kami to make me mortal so I would have a family...all gnomes would be my seeds, owing their very existence to only myself...please overseer, Pehoo, my so very precious man do you not see the danger."

"Pensuwana, I must have you nearer to me, I have learned you are far wiser than any of us, you can better lead us in our lives than I, or any other gnome." "As I have the imperial Japanese family for centuries I shall assist and council you, for myself to become head of the Gnomes is as tragic a matter as I planting all the future gnomes...you desire my body Pehoo, your wife and help mate will not approve of this, why are you becoming so obsessed with my carnality and lustfulness...please my darling man see me for what I am, in plane terms I am the worse of filthy, slut whores, who take pleasure in seducing poor men, having them expend themselves upon my tiny but irresistibly tempting body, and for what...my selfish pleasure."

Damn if he doesn't laugh at me and reply, "You will never convince me you honestly believe that, but I do know why you said it...shit...you are right again...please Pensuwana never refer to yourself as that again, this is an order from your overseer, do it."

Smiling I reply, kneeling as I do, "Yes my lord and master I hear and obey."

As I walk back to my home, I wonder if I will be able to hold him back from making a terrible mistake...then it hits me, take a husband, then one other male gnome will dare try to seduce me."

So days later as Pehoo and I are talking about the elves and their infringing upon our area, suddenly he stands and tells me, "I cannot stand this any longer...I, as your overseer order you to submit to my sexual advances...Penne come in here."

Oh shit, I think I am now in real trouble, Penne comes in and asks, "I told you Pehoo, Pensuwana is an honorable woman she will not give in to your lustfulness unless I agree."

"Well then tell Pensuwana, you agree."

So then I stand and tell them both, "I am leaving, when Pehoo...you can control your desires for me, I shall return. I found you poor and needy, I have helped you become wealthy and healthy. I shall not cause this lovely little group of gnomes to fall apart because of a bitch like me...when you have yourself under control I will know, good bye."

I vanish from their sight. What I did not even look to see many others had been listening to us, and as soon as Pehoo did what he did, they came in and stripped him of Overseer voted in an old gnome who has lost has wife, and I was gone minutes, when I came back, arriving in front of the new overseer, kneeling and asking, "All I ask my lord and master do you still want me here living among you."

A sweet old man standing there reaches down and lifts me up, as much as he can, as he tells me, "Pensuwana, this is our doing we acted too quickly when Pen faded away, none of us expecting it, Pehoo is our problem...I as overseer humbly plead with you to stay...under one condition, allow young single men your favors, no pressure, just as you want, you will become public property, owned by us all, freely giving yourself to our single men and keeping them from chasing the girls so much and married men in place because you will have no use or time for them, this is what you do in the mortal world, do it here...according to my figures from the % we gave you in all our mining by now you should be very wealthy. So gold will not be a facture in what you are doing for us."

"My lord, I have always been very wealthy, I have taken none of your gold...you are wealthy, in mortal terms worth over 100 million Yen...or around 50 million lbs of gold. Where we are, many have gathered, women fainted, men gasp, the poor overseer just stares at me, then slowly tells me, "You were ordered to take your % you have refused a direct order from your overseer, there fore I fine you all the % you would have taken, and Pensuwana, no matter how much we may want you living with us, I personally will banish you if from now on you do not...now kneel and vow."

After I do he tells me, "Now come with me."

We walk to his home, and I see such a perfectly orderly little cave home, so he then asks, "It has been a 100 years since my TeeTee faded away. I have lived a life without a woman's love since, when they voted me to this position I asked only one matter, if I could convenes you to be mine can I have you, they told me I could. So all I now ask, is that as you have many numbers of young men coming to you, choose if you actually want that life to continue in our world or will you consent to be one man's woman...I witnessed Pen become a happy man after you went to live with him, can you do that for me."

I just could not stop tears from coming to my eyes, as I kneeled before him, I tearfully say, "For me to live with a man, I must love him, I shall try my lord, because I now see how passionately humble and gentle you truly are...please tell me now, if we learn to love one another, will you ask me to plant wood sprite seeds."

"No Pensuwana, I have 3 dozen children now, and 1 dozen grandchildren and a half a dozen great grandchildren...and they go on from there, too many greats for me to remember."

"My lord do you still wish me to spend some time satisfying the lusts of you young men."

"Is that what you want to do."

"Please my lord, no matter what you may believe of me, I am only a mere woman and without the council of men I cannot always know my mind, as you expressed your desires for me, I committed myself to you, so now you must tell me what to do."

"Pensuwana, I know you to be an expert business woman, and you have been for centuries, so sensuously irresistible men flocked to take your favors, which you demanded a very high price for, million's of your Yen..."

He stops and lights his pipe, then asks, "You smoke, here have this pipe I will light another, well...we may as well have a drink of ale also...her my pet, set at my feet...where...was...I...haaa yes, councilor to emperors, lovers to them also and their wives, children and so on, so for you to tell me I now must decide what you next move will be is redundant. Alone look what you have done for us, you are a genius of finance, love, sex, men's emotions and your own desirability... you see in to the minds of us all and know now what is in mine, yet you insult my intelligence with that load of pure bullshit... you want our single men don't you, damn it just tell me."

"Alright my lord, I do I felt the lust for them build inside me as you told me what my purpose would be here, then you told me that was what I did in the mortal world, so do it here...and my desires for them left me, because even poor wretched women as I, know some day we must change our ways. Now my lord I commit my life and body to only you, for as long as you desire me, no one shall touch me...but you. If we can learn to love one another so much the better, I can easily live several life times with one I truly love and adore, if you love me the same, even more the better, I become your humble servant and slave if you wish. I shall clean, wash, cook and keep your dwelling as perfect as it is now, asking only to be kind, respectful and pleasingly amorous toward me. you must know I will need to go to Tokyo at times, there I may, probably will have one or more of the royal family loving me, but my total love and obedient submission will be only to you."

"Thank you Pensuwana for being truthful with me...I cannot hold you to what you have told me, I order you to allow our young single men to take your favors as you wish to give them. I will never actually love you, there is none in me, I will desire your body, ravishing it as you allow me, never speak of whom you have been with, live here with me, no one ever thinks I have any stamina left in my old body. But my treasure I will now prove to you I have."

As I weakly try to rise from his bed the next morning I realize I have been with a man of such power, might, forcefulness and stamina, he overwhelmed me completely, my face burning from whisker burns, my vagina actually sour from him lasting so very long, and as he walks in, asks, "Why are you not up, where is my breakfast."

As my tears rush from my eyes, I plead, "Have mercy on me my lord, you some wonderfully overwhelmed me last night I can hardly move."

He walks to me, holds my face up, and I see in his eyes, he softens and asks, "Please...I didn't harm you did I." "Not seriously my lord, please do not force me to also take on your young men, I cannot last against you...I certainly cannot take another man today."

Kissing my lips sweetly, he smiles as he tells me, "I have our food ready, and on a platter, I will bring it in, stay as you are, nude and beautiful."

"Thank you my master you are so good to me."

As he sets the food next to me he says, "My name is Pizho...please my dearest refer to me as such."

"Pizho, may I say now it will be very difficult to not fall deeply in love with you." "Do not try, after last night I feel as you...your face...I must remove this beard if I insist on kissing you half the night...also I don't want you stuck in this dwelling, we both will clean, cook and wash, I have been doing this for a century now and I have come to like it."

"As you wish Pizho, but remember, you should have a woman to wait on you, so you may relax nights, smoking your pipe, and reading, and Pizho, if you enjoy your beard so not remove it for me, look see my face the redness is gone, especially as you kiss my breasts it feels nice on my skin there."

"This day we will look over the dwellings and the mines, I want you to learn all our ways, as I also want you to tell me of the mortal world you lived in before coming to us...do you like getting rather drunk, high on our smokes, and then making love."

"I certainly did enjoy all of it and especially you darling last night."

"Do not expect me to perform like that several times a day, once is quite enough for me."

"Oh, Pizho I am so happy to hear you say that, because I would not be able to be so amorously responsive every time if you did want me several times a day, once is truly enough."

"How can that be, you have spent several life times with men of that world as must larger than we are smaller than you and none of them have our stamina." "Not even close Pizho...not even close. You are a very good cook I do pray mine satisfies you as much as yours pleases me."

"Do you know gnome cooking...of course you do, Pen would not have been so pleased with you other wise, you must learn fast."

"As you said Pizho, I am a genius and yes I earn very fast."

"And you stay as you are, being so sexually overwhelmed by me."

"You know I can and will, darling my purpose now is you and your pleasure and fulfillment at least as far as my small part of your life is concerned."

"Small part, when I know we will spend at least 2-4 hours daily enjoying one another's sexual passions, and that my large gorgeous woman is a 6th of my day." "Pizho do you have problems with Eves."

"Not any more, we had a battle and they lost, then went back to the cities, since then our only contact was that thief who you exposed."

"What did you do with him."

"We found most of the gold, silver and diamonds we'd given him and took him way out in the mountains and left him there."

"Good, if it had been me I would have probably killed him."

"In a round about way we most likely did, he couldn't have survived there alone very long, especially once the snow came. Come my pet, let's see the dwellings." After inspecting a few of them we go to the mining areas, and I see how miserably difficult these little men must work to dig out what they do, so looking at the mines I ask, "Why do you not allow me to cause this to be easier for these poor hard working men."

"Other than the few crops we grow, there would be nothing left for them to do, no this is what keeps us strong. You have seen enough for today as we walk tell me about the mortal world, and after we are home also."

"I talk about cooking, how we live, no chairs or high tables, sleeping on the floor on mats, everything is gotten with paper Yen worth so much gold, then I ask, "Pizho would you like to see me in my many kimonos the way I used to go to see the men who came to pleasure themselves with my body...oh look Pizho a doe and her fawn, may I play with them Pizho."

"Play with them how can you get near them."

"They see the sprit in me, and will come to me, watch, but stay hidden."

I walk out into the clearing and call making a strange sound, they look my way and slowly walk to me, I pet the doe and she asks, "You are the sprit who became mortal, how nice we get to meet you, I am goodness, my little fawn Glover...say hello to Pensuwana."

After a time I tell her, "My man awaits me, I must go, do the gnomes bother you."

"No they fish, they cannot catch us, or really much of any of the creatures here in the mountains, good bye Pensuwana."

Back where Pizho is he marvels at my ability to actually talk to these what he calls animals, then he says, "You must pray often to be so tender hearted these animals so easily come to you, to what god do you pray."

"The Kami of us all, there are many Kami, even rocks, grass, water, sky, the sun, moon, these mountains every living and non-living object, including the world itself has its own Kami."

"The spirit of creation, yes we pray to that also, what is this named."

"Shinto, the old Japanese way of life the philosophy of Japan's people." "Japan... what is that."

"The island nation we are on; there are many nations on earth, each having mountains, rivers, lakes, flat land, dense wooded areas, where other gnomes are."

"Other gnomes, oh no, Pensuwana we are the only gnomes here."

"Pizho...you are a very intelligent man do you actually believe you are the only gnomes on earth."

"Are you telling me there are more somewhere else."

"Yes my darling, probably millions."

By the look on his face I know he thinks I am teasing him so before he can say anything else I ask, "Please Pizho, think a moment would the great creator Kami of earth put gnomes only on this so very small island nation of Japan." Pizho inhales a deep drag from his pipe, and ponders my thoughts...and as he exhales the smoke from his lips, then asks, "How can we know this." "Hmmm...let me think...can I some how show you... Pizho have I proven to you I am your humble servant and will never do anything to harm you or any gnome."

A long time passes as he again ponders my question, then slowly he replies, "You are going to do some of your magic... but even then how can I know you have not clouded my mind, and I see what you will me to see."

"Again Pizho you are correct I cannot...we will need to drop it then because I know of no other way, but even what I was thinking calls for you to except what you see if fact. I leave this question on your mind, if there are peoples all over this earth, on several pieces of land called continents divided into nations, probably billions of peoples, why would there not be gnomes, elves, fairies, sprites and all the others who came from middle earth."

"How were you going to show me this marvel."

"On what is known as spiritualism there is a place called the astral plane it is possible for me to rise to it, in spirit form and go where I please, and still be here, but seeing the wonders of this earth below me."

"Pensuwana I do respect you, and have a lot of trust in what you tell me, but my pet, you have just crossed over in to a realm that has no meaning to me at all."

"Yes, Pizho, you are correct again, we must end this, it only becomes more complex as I try to explain it further."

"I just had a thought, tell me what Poo is doing right now, when we get back I will ask him if he was doing what you say, you have won a large part of your explanation."

Setting my mind on Poo, I see the little shit seducing one of the young unmarried girls, both of them only around a 150 years young, so I tell Pizho, Please Pizho you cannot punish Poo for what he is doing right now, after we get back."

"Oh no, is he after another young girl."

"Check the time he is kissing her breasts right now."

"Pensuwana this is why I still believe it will be better for you to satisfy these horny unmarried men."

"Let us not discuss that right now, we should be close to the settlement."

"Just over this next hill. After we get there Pizho goes to Poo and tells him, "I know who you seduced a short time ago, today, now you tell me at about 3:30 were you doing what with Pinrosea."

"I will not tell you, for that you will have me punished...oh...I admitted it didn't I...well ...kissing her breasts."

"Alright Poo you have nothing to far this time but be careful if one of the girls complains about you, I must punish you."

Pizho is quiet all the rest of the way to his cave home, so after getting there he lights his pipe, pours a glass of ale, and one for me, then he asks, "You witnessed what he was doing, how did you."

"This is difficult to explain I visualized Poo in my mind, and as I did where he was and what he was doing came into my mind, but this is not what I am talking about, we will actually be where I will us to be...in our spiritual form, or better put, our spirit will go where I will ours to go...I have a way to show you, we just left the mines hold my hand and close your eyes, try to empty your mind of everything, and please do not become frightened, I am with you always."

Then we are in one of the mines, and Pizho whispers, "Why are they not acting like they see us we are standing right in the middle of all these men."

"They can neither see or hear us, we are our spirits."

"Well...by the spirits you are right we are here, and I can still see us where we are also, back at the settlement...has this any practical value."

"Watch darling and see."

I cause a small crack to break open wider and there is a monstrous rough diamond, the size of which I have never seen before so I magically pull it out and put it in a bag I carry so no one else can see it, and say, "Let us return to our bodies Pizho."

Once back, I pull the diamond out as I say, "Here my love is that diamond...by its weight and size this stone may be worth a whole winters supply."

"I must forget the diamond...now tell me how can your spirit take it away from there it is solid and material, per what you told me we were in spirit form how can your spirit take something that is real and itself, a solid piece of whatever it may be."

I kiss his lips as I reply, "This will not help you...but it is all I have that I can tell you...darling I actually do not know."

"Pensuwana why do you call me darling."

My gosh he can change a subject fast, so I tell Pizho, "Is it not a word saying my feelings for you a term of endearment...like my love, my dearest one, honey, sweetheart love of my life...and so on."

"My wife never called me her darling, in all those glorious years we were together...oh.. the diamond...well if you do not know who does."

"Only the giver of life and will, the great Kami of earth, who in one way or another created us all, changed me from a quarter inch sprite to as 4 foot, 8 inch mortal, so very much of what I can do I have never understood, seeing into one's mind, seeing the future, although I have never done it actually traveling the earth over, magically causing my home to be invisible to other forms of life, having the wagons manned by no one yet going where I will them to go...so very much only the Kami knows the answers to... you know earth is round, right."

"Pensuwana I am becoming to realize how terribly stupid I really am, no my love, I never thought about the earth being round, flat or whatever."

"My precious love never stupid, yet to learn, something over looked, of no use in knowing, never stupid, that is as bad as me saying I am a filthy slut."

He quivers as I say that, and tells me, "Please never say that terrible word in connection to you, I am the overseer of our civilization, you are my woman, so you can never be known as a slut."

"You just won my side, because as head of us all you can never be stupid." "Pensuwana you caused our young to be invisible to wild animals as they play in the snow, can you cause me to be that way as we go to the Tokyo you go to when you exchange our minerals for gold to buy what we need."

"Pizho you never told me you want to go with me, yes, and with no trouble at all. This rock will buy everything we need for the next winter, so after we have all that we will take it will be worth far more than we will ever need."

"Another question you told us we are worth 50 million lbs of gold, where is it all."

"I reduced its size, and caused it to be invisible, I carry it wherever I go, here darling is what really is 50 million lbs of gold."

I hand him a piece of rock that looks like nothing special, and Pizho asks, "I will never understand your magic."

"Nor do I my precious, nor do I, but we both know it is here within me."

The summer rolls by and after loading my wagons Pizho, Poo, Pal and I leave for Tokyo. I had been so preoccupied I missed Tenasi's death...it just never came to my mind, most likely because I am falling in love again and to this so wonderfully pleasing older man, who is nothing to look at, except he is a gnome, 2 feet tall stocky, a long beard, and hair, wearing a pointed cap, interesting shoes that curl up beyond his toes, a regular shirt and pants, or so they look, sparkling eyes perfectly shaped lips, and rosy cheeks, a very warm disposition, and loving also, most all gnomes look much alike, except for the beards they all dress in rather drab brown, gray, off black and generally dark clothing stronger than any normal mortal man, faster and usually wittier, actually funny, their capacity to consume large amounts of ale and the smoke they have that would kick any mortal in his ass, hardly touches them until they smoke a lot, all are jolly especially after enough ale, Clover is the best, Heather come after it and wild wheat is the strongest. After we get there, I make sure I keep doors open for them and so others do not bump into them, as I make the exchanges Pizho, when we are alone asks, "How much is that in gold."

"You better set down; 10 million lbs. Is that not so wonderful, do you have any idea of how wealthy your...our family of gnomes is...to date 70 million lbs, and we will buy everything we need for 500 lbs of gold."

"My darling Pizho if you wanted no one will ever need to work in the mines again, but again you are right what will we all do but probably get ourselves in trouble with only the Kami knows who. So what would you like to see or do now."

Pal and Poo who were not near us, came to us and Poo asks, "Can we leave soon, all these mortals cause me to be scared."

"Pizho what are your thoughts."

"Poo is right let's get away from here, there is nothing we care to see or do among these mortals."

"Since we have all we came for ok let us leave. As soon as we clear the busy streets, I cause us to be home in a split second. After unloading and storing it all back in our little cave home Pizho asks, "How could you have ever liked it there so many mortals walking so near us all the time.. I expected to be knocked over at any given time, they don't even look where they're going...and those ones who looked so different, whiter larger, dressed so fancy, such bright colors...they look like clowns."

"Gee, I never looked at them that way, but you are right Pizho they also act like clowns."

So Pal asks, "Why were those women in the tight dresses standing on the street corners."

"My sweet innocent men they are a low class of what I used to be, prostitutes, selling their bodies to whoever will buy it for whatever length of time, but I never stood on a street, men came to me, dressed like they are going to a wedding so fancy, what those poor girls make in several days is what I spent on my Obi for my kimonos, one of my men would pay me more than they make in a month, the highest price I ever received from a man who was my patron and was with me either weekly or more was 20 million Yen or around 5 thousand lbs of gold...but enough of my nasty past, my precious we have not been close for a few days and I, my darling desire you so very much."

After the 1st cold comes and the snow covers everything, some times even our way to get out of our homes, some other who can get out must come and dig us out, Pizho and I put on large wide platform type things on our feet and go out walking on the snow, 1st getting a lot of wheat, oats and barley that we put on a sled to feed the deer and off we go, returning very soon because walking is so difficult, then one day soon after Pal and Wal come and show Pizho this sled they made...as I look at it, I ask, "If you put a pole here and attached a cloth sail it should slid by itself driven by the wind."

"Oh Pensuwana what a great idea let's see."

It takes us weeks to get this thing the way we think it will work best. Then we try it and it slides across the snow like a horse was pulling it, so we load it with grain for the deer and move along to where we know they try to get bark off trees and put a big pile there, since we have so much more than we need throughout the winter we feed the deer, giving us a good feeling for helping some of the Kami's creatures get through the winter, one evening while the deepest snow covered every one of our holes to where no one can get out, as Pizho and I set close to the fireplace he asks, "Are you truly happy living with me Pensuwana."

"Yes my love, why do you ask."

"After seeing where you came from and thinking of how many years you were there, don't you miss the glamour and excitement of your former life."

"I shall not lie to you Pizho, darling...yes, I miss much of it, and wonder if I shall ever return, then I look at you, and see how much you love me, and most of all want me. and it all goes way."

"Does it really or are you trying to make me feel better."

"My precious darling, Pizho why are you doubting my words to you."

"Because I...oh...how..."

Then he slides off his chair, kneels before me, holding out a special necklace, that has only one meaning as he asks, "Will you marry me Pensuwana, my deepest desire for you is to be my wife."

As my tears build up and run down my face, I kneel next to him and he kisses me passionately as he puts the wedding necklace on me and says, "With this token of my endearing love for you I now wed you Pensuwana, and make you my wife until fading away parts us. We kiss again and hold the kiss until we are laying on the floor, then he begins making love to me."

The next morning as we look out the snow has covered all the homes, so I ask, "I must check the families to make sure they are all in good health, although my body will be here, what makes Pensuwana will be wherever, fear not my darling nothing can harm my spirit."

In the spirit it takes me a short time, and as I look like I am waking, I tell Pizho, "Sono and Sisi have run out of food, and she is going to birth her young any time now, I came back to tell you this so you will not worry, I do not know how many trips I must make to do this, and please darling do not go out side it is bitter cold out there."

It took me so long I had to go back and reassure my love I am alright, once I am there to help, in case I am need I magically bring my body there also gnome women need no help birthing their children they have done it alone for centuries, but in this case, poor Sono becomes so frightened that something is going to go wrong, I actually have to magically put him at ease. After the baby is born the next morning I tell them, "I must go back to Pizho he must be out of his mind by now, as I come in the house it is quiet, scared for my love I call out, "Pizho darling are you sleeping...Pizho...please where are you."

A sleepy Pizho comes out of the bedroom and asks, "I am so sorry, I must have fallen asleep, I am a poor man to not even stay awake for my love to return."

I burst out crying as I say, "You worried me when I got no reply."

"No my love as you must know gnomes only fade away when we can on the grassy ground, you poor thing...you looked frightened out of your mind...so tell me the good news."

"A boy healthy and loud. Poor Sono became so upset with worry I had to magically calm him. Have you ever witnessed it so cold and the snow so deep." "No I haven't, I wonder if this has a meaning hidden in it."

"Can you forgive me ,but until this goes away I must check the families at least every other day."

It lasted days more, and after the snow melted we lost three older men who were waiting to fade away in the sweet fresh earth of early spring, which called for rejoicing and ale, and smokes, by night most of us were falling over others who had passed out earlier, Pizho is the only one of us who did not become so drunk he couldn't walk I really over did it, vomited and passed out on the floor of the gnome's home as did most of us.
