Diana sat in her room, the soft aroma of green tea filling the air as she read a book on agriculture. It was clear that she had been dedicating herself to learning more about the subject, helping out with the farming initiatives that had become part of the community's daily life. She closed the book gently as Kara and Raven entered, setting it down on the table beside her cup of tea.
"Good afternoon, girls. I hope you are feeling fine after last night's experience," Diana said, her usual calm demeanor in place as she gestured for them to come in. She gave them a polite smile, clearly at ease despite the heavy topics they were about to discuss.
Kara smiled warmly as she walked toward Diana, giving her a friendly hug. "Good afternoon, Diana. Thanks for asking. We're doing fine, what about you?" Kara replied as she sat down, settling herself comfortably. Raven, ever more reserved, gave Diana a small nod in greeting.
Diana's expression softened slightly, her gaze distant but thoughtful as she spoke again. "It was an interesting night, and I had fun sleeping with Naruto, but you already know that I don't like being one of many. I hope there won't be a repeat of this incident." Her words were blunt, but there was no malice in her tone. She clearly didn't appreciate the situation but wasn't upset about it either.
Kara was quick to respond, shaking her head. "That wasn't part of the plan. Someone else messed with us," she explained, looking at Diana to gauge her reaction.
Diana's calm gaze met Kara's, and she raised an eyebrow in acknowledgment. "I see. Sorry for jumping to conclusions."
"No problem," Kara assured her with a kind smile. "So, you're not going to have the child?"
Diana blinked, clearly taken aback. "You mean... I'm pregnant?" The surprise in her voice was genuine. She hadn't even realized.
"Yes, we wanted to know what you plan to do now," Raven interjected, her tone as neutral as ever. Kara exchanged a glance with her, not sure how Diana would respond. She was often the most unreadable of them all, making it difficult to predict her emotions, let alone her decisions.
Diana took a moment, her mind clearly racing through the possibilities. Then, with a firm resolve, she spoke. "I wish to have a normal family, so I won't have the child. It was a mistake, and Naruto isn't my lover, so it is the obvious choice. I'll just go have a drink of the cleansing water when I get back home, and it will be over." Her answer was calm and direct, as expected, and Kara and Raven didn't seem to have any issues with it. One less girl, one less complication.
Kara gave a nod of understanding, relieved by the clarity of Diana's decision. Raven, however, tilted her head. "Did you see anyone else in the room? Anyone who might have been involved?"
Diana paused for a moment, then shook her head slowly. "I saw Ivy and Donna. What happened to them?" she asked, her voice curious but not accusatory. She had been unaware of the larger implications of the situation.
Kara's expression softened, and she answered with an openness that Diana likely hadn't expected. "We allowed them to pursue Naruto since they want to have his child. Are you sure there was no one else? And do you have any idea who could be responsible for this act?"
Diana, who had been holding her cup delicately, nearly dropped it in surprise. Her eyes widened, and for a brief moment, temptation flickered within her—an emotion she quickly tried to suppress. The idea of pursuing Naruto, of being a part of this complex web of relationships, wasn't something she'd ever seriously considered. But hearing Kara's words stirred something in her. She couldn't deny that a part of her felt drawn to it.
"Are you girls really okay with that?" Diana asked, her voice almost skeptical but tinged with a note of intrigue.
Kara's response was immediate and firm, her pride clear in her words. "It is the best choice for Naruto and our family. We trust Naruto to keep us all happy." She spoke with a confidence that seemed to settle the matter in her own mind, as though this was the only possible path forward. Raven, standing quietly beside her, simply nodded in agreement, her eyes thoughtful but supportive.
Diana studied them for a moment, then sighed. "I see... I didn't see anyone else, but I suspect Shiva might have been involved. She was interested in having his child. As for the culprit, I have no clue who would be interested in messing around with us like this. We can discuss it later with everyone and see if anyone has a clue." She leaned back thoughtfully, mulling over her suspicions. "Aphrodite is the only other one I could think of, but I would have felt her presence if that were the case."
Kara nodded, taking in Diana's words with a serious expression. "We'll wait for your call then. And are you sure about the child?"
"Yes, I will have one with someone I love and accept," Diana answered, a gentle smile spreading across her face. There was a softness to her words that was unusual for her, but it made sense. Diana had always been someone who valued genuine connections, and it was clear that she wanted something real and lasting.
"Okay, we will wait for your call. See you later," Kara said, standing up with Raven following her lead. The two of them turned and walked toward the door, ready to leave Diana to her thoughts.
As they exited the room, they found themselves face to face with Shiva, who seemed to be leaving her own private thoughts behind. Diana's room had been a place of calm, a brief respite from the chaos of their complex lives. Now, as the door clicked shut behind Kara and Raven, they found themselves contemplating the next step in a situation that had only just begun to unfold.
Diana sat silently in her room, the echo of Kara and Raven's departure lingering in her mind. The conversation they had just shared, coupled with the lingering sensations from last night's experience, left her feeling conflicted. Her thoughts swirled as she considered the ramifications of everything that had just happened, and she couldn't help but be drawn deeper into the web that Naruto had woven around them all.
The intense connection she had felt with Naruto during their intimate moments was something she hadn't expected. Her body still remembered the touches, the warmth of his presence, and it left a lingering aftertaste, like a sweet poison she couldn't shake. It was undeniable—the bond that had been forged was powerful and real. It felt like it had shifted something within her, deepening her emotions for him.
She thought back to Kara's comment about how hollow it would feel if they didn't have sex every day. Diana understood now. There was something addictive about the act, a connection that wasn't just physical but emotional too. For Kara, Raven, and perhaps others, it wasn't just about pleasure—it was about closeness, about feeling alive in a way they hadn't before. Diana, though she had never given it much thought, realized she was no different. She had felt it too.
But then came the nagging doubt—Naruto's feelings. She hadn't really considered how deeply this might affect him, how the experience might change the way he viewed the relationships they shared. Could he be feeling something similar? If his love for each of them was as deep and genuine as they all believed, wouldn't this experience only bind him closer to all of them?
And then there was Donna. Diana knew Donna's situation was different—she was pregnant, and her feelings for Naruto were more intense. Donna might not only be willing to pursue Naruto, she might be the one who would truly claim his heart in a way Diana couldn't. Donna's commitment to Naruto would be unshakable now, especially with the child. Diana found herself questioning whether she should step back and allow Donna to have what she wanted. Was she even capable of competing for Naruto's affection in the way others might?
The idea of backing down went against everything Diana had ever been taught. As an Amazon and a future queen, she was raised with the belief that a strong man could have many women, but that wasn't the same as being one of those women—especially not when it came to her pride. Diana had always been taught to be the best, to stand on her own, and to never share a man if she didn't truly want to. But Naruto wasn't just any man, and this wasn't just about sharing him. It was about love, about connection. Would she be willing to bend, to change, for him?
"Should I play along and see how it goes?" she mused quietly to herself. "No, I think I'll watch for now. Let's see how things play out. I need to figure out where I stand." Diana's fingers gently traced the rim of her cup as she stared off into space, her thoughts turning inward, calculating the next steps.
She was well aware of how much Naruto had already given to them—how he had changed the way they all saw themselves. He wasn't perfect, but that was part of what made him special. His love wasn't conventional, and neither was this situation. But in his world, it was real. Diana understood that much, and she wasn't willing to let go of it, not yet.
Her thoughts then turned to Donna again. The younger woman was about to make her own decision, and it was clear that her emotions for Naruto ran deeper than Diana's at this moment. But Diana had her pride. She wouldn't back down so easily.
"Naruto is special," she thought, a small, wistful smile forming on her lips. "He always was. Maybe I'll let things unfold and see where they take me. After all, I've never been one to follow the rules when I don't feel like it."
As Diana sat alone in her room, her heart beat a little faster, her resolve hardening. She would wait—let the others make their decisions, but she would be ready when the time came. Naruto was worth it, and for now, she would be patient, watching from the sidelines and preparing herself for whatever might come next.
Shiva, lost in her contemplation, let the thoughts of her desires and her newfound feelings toward Naruto swirl through her mind. She had always considered herself above the emotional attachments others seemed to form. Her life had been centered around power, control, and the strategic use of her talents. Love and affection had never really been part of her equation—until now.
The feelings Naruto had stirred within her were unlike anything she had ever experienced. Her mind grappled with the notion that, for the first time, she might actually want more than just power or revenge. She had always been driven by the thrill of combat, but now, there was something deeply seductive about the emotions Naruto made her feel. His presence—both in battle and in their brief interactions—had affected her in ways she had never anticipated.
"I want him," she thought, feeling the growing warmth in her chest. "But he's not easily swayed, is he?" She knew Naruto was no simple man. His relationships with the others, especially the women around him, made him a unique challenge. Not just anyone could win his heart, and she understood that. But the idea of him succumbing to her, of making him her own—she couldn't help but fantasize about it.
Then there was the child—his child. A small, almost imperceptible connection to Naruto had been formed the moment she learned of the pregnancy. The child was special, not purely human, and Shiva couldn't shake the feeling that this child might be part of something larger, something greater. She had her own motivations, of course. Power, influence, and control, all wrapped up in the desire for a future that involved Naruto in some capacity. She wasn't just considering the child; she was thinking of the entire future they could have together.
But now, as her thoughts turned darker, she was reminded of the intense and vivid emotions from the night prior—the pleasures and connections that had left a lasting mark on her body and mind. She had never expected it, never wanted it to be this way. The simple act of sex had become something beyond the physical, something that tied her to Naruto in ways she hadn't imagined. The intensity had shaken her, and she couldn't deny it—she wanted more.
However, what surprised her most was the feeling of love that had begun to grow within her. She had always been detached, cold even, when it came to affection. But now, she understood. She had been seduced by something far greater than mere lust. This was something deeper, something that connected her to Naruto on a level she couldn't fully explain. She had tried to keep herself distant from the emotional bonds that others had with him, but this... this was different. It was the first time she had felt this way, and it terrified her.
As her thoughts drifted deeper into the complexity of her emotions, she didn't notice the subtle shift in the air around her. Naruto's energy still lingered from their previous encounter, his presence haunting her mind. The energy was so potent that it affected her physically. She began to feel drowsy, the connection to Naruto's lingering energy overwhelming her senses. It wasn't long before her body gave way to exhaustion.
Shiva collapsed onto the plush cushions of the seat, her mind lost in a haze of overwhelming emotions. She fell unconscious, her body suddenly gone from the room without a trace, as though it had never existed at all.
