Finding Hanako's Gem

We all watched Hanako fidget and shift from hoof to hoof uncomfortably, despite Annie's hug. Waiting for the dryad to explain more. It was honestly jarring to see this confident woman acting like a nervous schoolgirl.

After maybe a minute, she visibly collected her composure and stepped out of the hug. "I must gather my notes from my office if we are to acquire her assistance. Annie, help me sort through what we have here, please."

That's it? Sam and I exchanged an incredulous glance while Hanako and Annie went to work. I noticed Elizabeth sink into a puddle in the corner.

"Hanako, we need more information than that she's your ex! Is she a doctor or scientist or something?" I can't believe I'm about to say this. "If this just a way to get back together with—"

The willowy woman jolted at my words. "Of course not! She's a zoologist specializing in reptiles and the potential medical applications in the ability to regenerate lost limbs and their longevity." She said in one breath.

Okay. That actually sounds fairly relevant.

Sam raised a hand. "If she's your ex, how do you know all that?"

Blushing, she put her hands on her hips. "We parted on amicable terms and we're both mature professionals."

"Didn't you just have a mini panic attack about her never speaking to you again if we were late?" Sam crossed her arms. "That doesn't sound very amicable to me."

"Well—" Her cheeks flushed as purple as Elizabeth's. "Yes, we didn't actually part on the best of terms." She admitted. "But that was several years ago. When I learned she was in the city this week I contacted her through a video call." She opened and closed her mouth a few times before seeming to mentally pivot. "It was actually quite interesting! Her response, I mean. She commented on my new appearance as if I had merely got a new hairstyle and makeover." The dryad frowned. "When I told her of Mason's anomalous ejaculate and how it could help her…she became quite cross with me."

Annie looked up as she finished organizing the notes. "Is Gemma the trans woman you mentioned dating?" Hanako simply nodded, lost in thought as she put the books in her bag.

I perked up at that. "You think I can help her transition?" Aside from what happened with Stella and possibly Rachel, I hadn't done anything I'd consider too bad. But helping someone get the body they wanted would feel pretty good. Can I do more like that? Cure cancer and other diseases? I remembered how Stella and even Hanako seemed to de-age over a decade each. Possibilities began to sort themselves into plans…

Hanako continued. "The relationship between me and Gemma was…good. Very good. We were together for nearly five years. I had plans to buy a ring after I finished my doctorate but…there were…complications. I fell afoul of academic politics and had to leave the university. Gemma tried to follow me. I discouraged her." Her lips trembled and Annie pulled her into another hug.

I put a hand on her shoulder. "You don't have to explain everything to us right now."

She wrapped me up with her arms and vines in a heartfelt hug, Annie squished between us. "Thank you."

A moment later, the puddle of purple slime reformed into a girl with an uncertain wave. "Is this a bad time to ask if anyone knows what happened to my phone?"

Annie gasped from within the hug and wiggled until a hand vanished into her cleavage. "I picked it up when you uh, melted." With a flash of pink, she held out Elizabeth's phone. "The screen's cracked. I can help you get a replacement?"

The slime girl shook her head with a smile. "No, I was needing to replace this thing anyway." She read a few messages with a sigh and looked up at me with a determined set to her face. "I need to pick up my brother from soccer practice in an hour." She pointed at each of us in turn before landing back on me. "I want to learn everything that's going on, more than that Mason has magic cum! Got it?"

She put her hands on her hips while a third hand kept pointing an accusing finger at me.

I nodded solemnly with the hand that wasn't busy on Annie's ass placed on my heart. "Come over to my house tomorrow and we'll fill you in on everything we know."

Elizabeth made a considering hum and tapped her chin. Behind her, Sam gave me a thumbs up while mouthing 'fill her in!' and rocking her hips. That's not what I meant!

"You had better. I spent all week out of the loop." There was some real hurt in her voice which made me beckon her into the still ongoing hug. She did so, several pairs of arms snaking around to join the vines in embracing everyone. Annie giggled and Hanako rolled her eyes fondly as she relaxed.

Soon, the android was being stared at by four sets of pleading eyes. She threw her hands up and stalked forwards. "Alright, alright. I'll join in on the mushy stuff for five minutes. Don't we all have somewhere to be?"

Hanako chuckled as she ruffled Sam's blue-black hair. "The park we're supposed to meet Gemma is twenty minutes away. We have time."

---

Almost exactly an hour later we pulled into a small parking lot with some picnic tables in a clearing. Sam and I in my car while Annie had opted to ride with Hanako.

A tall, skinny woman with curly black hair in a high ponytail and light brown skin leaned against the only other car in the lot. She was dressed in torn jeans and a fitted jacket over a top that showed off her toned abdomen and pushed up her small breasts.

She frowned at us. "Hey Hana. Long time, huh?" Her voice was slightly deep for a woman but not what I would call masculine.

Hanako seemed like she was going to offer a hug, only to let her arms drop lamely at Gemma's nonreaction. "Hello, Gemma. I... It's good to see you again." Annie squeezed her hand in support.

Gemma frowned harder. "Well, let's get this over with." She spun on her heel and stomped towards one of the trails.

Hanako wilted.

That could've gone worse? I grimaced and led the others on the shaded trail after Gemma's heavy stomps.

We were led to an empty meadow maybe thirty yards wide, full of wildflowers and ringed by dense bushes and stout oaks. I noticed that the various flowers perked up with Hanako's every step, an invisible wave of revitalization emanating from the dryad.

Gemma crossed her arms again. "Alright, explain."

The dryad hesitated. It was odd, she held herself so confidently most of the time, it occasionally bordered on arrogance. She pulled out a bunch of papers and showed some of the videos we took. Even the impossible objects we found in my semen.

We traded off in explaining, Hanako and Annie did the most obviously, followed by my personal account and even a bit from Sam.

Gemma slowly grew more and more bewildered. Disbelief and irritation turning to shock, then growing enthrallment. She was drawn into the discussion more and more, until Sam and I were lost. Well, I was lost, Sam had gotten bored and tugged my pants off.

"—have chloroplasts in your skin cells!?" The tense, angry woman that met us here half an hour ago had become bright and eager to learn more. She'd long since sat down on a patch of moss to read through everything. I'd missed exactly when the haze or mist that kept people from noticing all the weirdness vanished from her head. Now her eyes were bright and focused.

Hanako nodded excitedly. "We found the same hybrid animal/plant cells in my vines and leaves, but only there! My blood is almost unchanged but I found the same fractals from the Anomaly I ingested within it!"

I whipped my head up. "It's in your blood!?" Sam popped her mouth off my dick so I could stand.

"Yes! I'll need a sample of yours and Annie's blood as well, I don't believe we'll learn much from Sam and Elizabeth was entirely different. I'm on the lookout for a suitable lab to do more tests and someone with the right expertise to examine us." She turned to Gemma, who was avidly reading through the collected notes. "Gemma, do you consent to me taking some blood to serve as a control?"

The slender woman flipped to another page. "Yes, yes... That'd be great to see the before and after. You said the process was pleasurable?" All three of the other women said yes in some way. "Do you have a syringe and a vial to draw blood? I have a medical kit in my car..." Gemma began to shrug off her jacket.

I was stunned. "You want to do this? So soon?"

Gemma blinked at me. "Is that not why I'm here? To help understand what's happening?" She was wearing a practical sports bra underneath her top, exposing more of her caramel skin. Annie and Hanako were prepping her left arm for a blood draw.

"Well, yes but... I'm just surprised." Is there some hypnotic effect that's encouraging women to suck my dick? Why am I complaining again?

"Mason— Can I call you Mason?— you have extremely compelling evidence for something beyond our current understanding of science, and a method for me to skip past some very expensive surgeries and months of recovery." She grimaced at my erection, or maybe from the drawn blood. "I'd be willing to do a lot more than swallow some cum. Though, I do ask that you do not make me want to fuck you, if possible." Annie put a bandaid on the inside of her elbow after wiping with ****. Hanako tucked away a small vial of blood.

I held up my hands. "I have no intention of making anyone have sex with me against their will." Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a smirking Sam cross her fingers. I ignored her. "Do you have any tenet requests, by the way? Like 'stays a lesbian' or something?"

"I do have an observation about those tenets of yours—can you only do three at a time?" She kicked off her boots and unbuckled her belt.

Huh. "I hadn't realized that. I think that is my limit, yes. I'm not sure if that's an absolute or if I can increase..." Gemma stepped out of her underwear, she had very well toned thighs... "Why are you naked?" I caught a glimpse of her penis before I averted my eyes. It was small and oddly feminine, which made sense I suppose.

Gemma held her hands in front of her crotch, pressing her small breasts together. "So my clothing isn't destroyed in the transformation." Right, of course. "And I do want to maintain my sexual preferences. Can you make sure I can continue my herpetology job, maybe so I'm better at it even!" A faint blush darkened her cheeks. "I... Would really enjoy being able to change my appearance at will." She said quickly.

"Like a chameleon or..."

"Yes!" Why was she more embarrassed about her request than standing naked in a meadow? I mean, I was too, but I'm getting blown by a living sexbot. "That... Sounds ideal, yeah."

Hanako was blushing now as well. I looked between them as the two former lovers stared at each other. Okay. Not gonna ask. "I think I can do that. So you want to keep your orientation, be better at your job, and shapeshifting chameleon style." She nodded at each point on the list. I felt eerily like a car salesman. "Alright...how are we doing this?" I asked.

Almost immediately, Annie was at my feet with another beaker. "Same as last time." She licked me from base to just before the head. "We can't go changing variables this early!"

Sam slithered her way in to start tonguing my balls. "I want to try something— it won't affect your precious variables!" She rolled her eyes at Annie. She snaked her tongue all the way around my cock, the very tip buzzed on the sensitive skin between the base of my shaft and my ballsack.

I jumped. "Holy Fuc—hrgghhnnn..." I gripped her head as my knees wobbled. Clamping down to keep from cumming as the blue tendril wrapped around me vibrated in rippling patterns. I had to push her away. Sucking in unsteady breaths, I said, "That's awesome, but too much too fast. Hah! I won't be able to focus on what Gemma wants if you do that."

A smug Sam wagged her tongue and slurped it back into her mouth. "Mwah! Just testing a theory. I might be able to vibrate in other places as well~" Oh, this girl is gonna be the **** of me...worth it.

"We are definitely going to be testing more thoroughly later." Annie rubbed her damp thighs together with an eager grin.

"I look forward to it!" The android replied proudly.

I sat down on the soft ground and leaned back on my hands to give my girls room. "I've cooled back down now, you can get back to the extraction." They dove back in.

Across the meadow, Hanako and Gemma were talking quietly to each other. The dryad seemed to be apologizing. Gemma pulled her into a sudden hug and whispered into her vines. I saw tears and looked away.

I focused on the double blowjob I was receiving. The two girls met my eyes and grinned at me. They shared a few sloppy kisses while stroking me, licking up the trails of precum from my shaft and each other's faces. The sight nearly pushed me over the edge.

"I'm close!" I moaned.

I held Gemma's requested tenets in my mind.

Unchanged Sexual Attraction Good with Reptiles Malleable Appearance

It wasn't literally those words, more an approximation of the concepts that would be filtered through Gemma's mind. It was straining to hold that many at once, especially the sexual orientation tenet. I could feel my power struggle, like using a shovel to hammer in a nail. It was technically possible, but it wasn't the purpose of the tool, it was too large, too heavy, unwieldy and frustrating. I grew dizzy from the effort.

It finally worked, an orb the color of molten steel flowed from my balls and into the waiting beaker. When I opened my eyes, the glass held a bright reddish gold liquid.

Annie presented it to a shocked Gemma. "I can feel it already..." Her tear streaked face glowed with awe as she lifted it to her parted lips. "It was meant for me." She gulped it all down.

Annie scrambled to set up the camera while Hanako lowered Gemma to a sudden bed of moss. She kissed the blank woman's forehead and knelt beside her as she glowed that same reddish gold.

Sam helped me stand up. "You okay? You seem woozy."

She draped my arm over her shoulder to take some of the weight. "I had a lot of disparate ideas to hold at once." I rubbed my forehead and squeezed my eyes shut to ward off the headache. "It was draining, but I always get a burst of energy right after." Now that I thought about it, what was causing that? Am I draining something from them?

As if it was waiting for my words, the rush of familiar heat poured through me. Rejuvenating and improving.

My eyes opened to see a faint silver flicker in the trees. The same silver that flashed in Zoey's eyes.

Without conscious intent, I exploded towards it. My feet digging into the bed of flowers and then launching me from tree root to tree root like a gazelle. Until I landed next to the ghostly silver wolf. It was even less solid than the word ghostly implied, merely a silvery outline, like a preliminary sketch instead of a complete work.

"Zoey?" I held out my hand palm up, showing I had no weapon. If that would even apply when magic exists. Maybe an open hand is a deadly threat. "Is that you?"

In answer, the silver impression of a wolf melted away in between blinks. Leaving nothing behind.

Sam came running up a second later, skidding to a stop next to me. "Mason, what the hell was that!? You were like a car or a cheetah!"

What? "There was this silver wolf thing. I think it was Zoey watching us."

The android blinked a couple times. "You mean that bitch was spying on us?" An electric hum buzzed just outside of my hearing range as arcs of blue ran up and down her alabaster arms and over her clenched fists. She practically growled as she scanned this section of forest. "Is she still nearby? I want to have a little talk with her."

I grimaced at the shocks as I put a calming hand on her shoulder. "Hold on, let's not go looking for a fight with the possible witch girl. What if she has a whole coven or clan behind her?" I pulled her into a hug as she toned down on the lightning. "I'm still hoping we can actually talk with Zoey and anyone with her. A headache and spying is not worth going to war over." Now, depending on what originally caused the headache might make this an entirely different matter.

Sam breathed out and the humming died down completely as she shoved her face into my chest. "Right. That whole mess with Rachel still has me on edge and I'm conflating the two in my head. Sorry for shocking you."

"No problem. It was really hot seeing you like that, wreathed in lightning and ready to fight off an army?" She giggled as she relaxed into my arms, sighing and pushing into the grip I had on her ass.

We started walking back to the meadow hand in hand.

Right, Rachel was another potential problem. Especially with whatever weird shape shifting power she got. It wasn't likely to be very strong, considering how minor the other girls' powers were starting out, but it didn't need to be to cause problems.

It took us a good minute to walk back to the meadow at a steady pace. "Wait, I ran out of here in a few seconds." My jaw slowly fell open as I saw the three divots in the meadow leading from the veritable crater on the far side.

Sam grinned up at me. "Did you just now realize? You nearly knocked me on my ass dude. You covered twenty yards in less than three seconds. Then twice that through the trees."

"But… I was just running normally…" I looked down to see my sneakers coming apart at the seams. "How the hell did I do that?"

"Congrats, Mason. You're a superhero now."

Before I could properly respond to that, a red glow like the setting sun filled the meadow.

Gemma was…hatching?

---

—Hanako—

Mason blurred from one side of the clearing to the other, covering ten meters or more with each step. Curiously, there was almost no sound to his movements, despite the clouds of broken earth and shredded flora in his wake. I filed away the information to be considered later. Gemma was more important.

Oh! Brave, beautiful, brilliant, Gemma. My heart soared at your forgiveness! I never should have denied your wish to join me. Curse my prideful nature! Three long years apart and I can feel my aching heart finally beginning to heal.

"The camera is recording the transformation Ms.Tanaka!" My favorite student reported, apparently missing the events behind her. Such a diligent girl, even despite her new flighty demeanor. As she said on Monday, Annie was far happier and more confident— much better than that timid waif she once was!

"Thank you, Annie. You know I'd prefer to be called Hanako." I brushed a ringlet of hair from Gemma's forehead, my former-and-hopefully-future lover was soon enveloped by an aura of light, roughly faceted like a gemstone. Ha, fitting. Before she decided to follow her passion for reptiles, Gemma was an avid student of geology and collector of precious stones.

Annie knocked me out of my musing. "Sorry, Ms— Hanako. It doesn't feel right to be so informal, especially when I'm recording like this."

I shook my head fondly. "I understand, I just..." Familiar bitterness rose up. "This is not an admonishment of you, to be clear, I feel a blow to my pride every time I'm called miss or Ms instead of Doctor." I bit out the words.

Annie's fascinating eyes widened. "I'm so sorry Hanako, I should have—"

"It's fine. You had no way to know until I told you. I shouldn't let it irk me so much." Gemma's aura began to pulse and condense, derailing any further discussion.

Annie sucked in a breath. "What's happening?"

I had no answer besides the obvious, and I wouldn't belittle her the way a younger, more abrasive Hanako would have. Gemma was shrinking and changing shape within her radiant gemstone. No, not a gemstone...

An Egg.

With a sharp crack the luminous egg shattered like cheap glass. Inside, a small form was uncurling from a fetal position. Large, inquisitive eyes the color of liquid gold and slitted like a snake's took in the surroundings. Bits of shell clattered to the ground, trailing motes of light as they dissolved into nothing.

Gemma rose on a pair of uncertain legs, her digitigrade claws digging into the soft soil. A long, whip-like tail armored in shiny red scales helped her balance. She felt the stubby horns at her temples with blunt talons and a forked tongue flicked out to taste the air. My heart raced when she smiled up at me, the fangs somehow cute instead of threatening.

Her head tilted to the side then down at herself. "Did I shrink?" A sibilant soprano voice asked. "Ooh, not all of me did!" Gemma grinned when she hefted her proportionally much larger breasts and angled her very wide hips in a provocative manner. My throat went dry as my eyes drank in the view of her shapely body. Gemma had always been gorgeous to me, but this...

"Ahh! You're so adorable~" Annie squealed to the side. I sent a tangle of roots to hold her in place when she made moves to pick Gemma up. "Oof!"

I coughed when the pink girl thumped to the ground with a yelp. "We'll need to measure you, but yes, I'd say you are now just over four and a half feet tall." It was strange and exciting to be so much taller than her.

"Holy shit, you're a giant now, Hana!" The deep coppery skin of the diminutive woman shouldn't have been able to visibly blush, but she did anyway. She hugged me around the waist and shoved her head into my breasts. "I think I like it!" She gave a rumbly purr and her claws slid down to my posterior.

My cheeks warmed at her ministrations. I wrapped my arms around her, pressing her head deeper into my bosom, the almost metallic texture of her red-black hair tickling my sensitive skin. "I'm enjoying your new stature as well." This close, I could see that what appeared to be human skin is actually a collection of very small scales.

The newly reptilian woman bit gently at my nipple. Grinning wickedly at my moan, her tail coiled around my legs, which reflexively melded back into a stem and roots system to keep us from falling. My vines tightened around her waist and each limb to pin her in place. She gasped, the tiny scales that made up her skin went through a rainbow of color.

Gemma wiggled in my restraints, her chromatic scales settled on a warm pink and red. "Making up for lost time, eh Hana? Been a while since we've done this."

It was like nothing in the world existed but for her. I lifted her into a passionate kiss, an apology and a promise. My petals closed us off, hiding us from the noise outside and coating us in violet light.

Our mouths separated and I rested my head between her horns. "I never should have driven you away, Gemma. I was an idiot, I don't deserve your forgiveness." It wouldn't stop me from wholeheartedly seizing the chance she was so gracious to give, however.

She licked her lips clean of nectar. "Enough, I knew what you were doing, we were both stupid." She ran kisses along my cheek and up to my ear to lick the outside. "I could have kept my temper better, talked sense into you." Her flexible tail brushed the petals of my second flower. "All that's behind us." She pressed her own heated petals into my abdomen. Whispering, "Now, are you gonna help me test out this new pussy I got, or do I have to play by myself?"

New, thicker vines bound her in place. Then, a particularly special one, a stamen dripping with nectar from the bulbous tip, began to tease her entrance. "Oh? Do you mean this tiny pussy?" At my mercy, she could only make a guttural groan that didn't fit her new size. "Hmm, was that a no?"

She whined when I loosened her bindings and retracted my stamen. "Stop teasing and just fuck me!"

I smirked. "Are you suuurre?" The broad head popped into place. "I might be too big for you!"

"Yesyesyes! Fuc—guhhmmmphfmm~" I kissed her silent. Savoring her squirms and squeaks as my vines explored, her scales shimmered and rippled in an array of mesmerizing color when my tip hit her cervix.

I chuckled into our kiss. Oh! I'm so glad my Gemma is back with me!

---

—Mason—

The three of us waited around the trembling flower bud. Faint noises of pleasure occasionally escaping it.

I scratched the back of my head. "It's been an hour, I don't think they're gonna stop anytime soon."

Annie shivered in my lap, a dazed smile pulling at her lips as she wiggled on my cock with Sam's buzzing fingers up her ass and massaging her left tit.. "We-hah!- can't leave them he-here!"

"We can't stay much longer either." Sam said. "Didn't your mom ground you? She'll call Mason's dad or the cops if we spend the night."

"She's right, Annie. We have all the notes and video. What are we accomplishing by staying here?" I asked.

She huffed into my shoulder. "What if Zoey or some other magic person finds them while they're ****?" I could feel her grimace against my shoulder, still torn over her friend possibly lying to her for a significant amount of time.

"I'm pretty sure she's working alone. If she isn't, and brings an army— how will we be able to help? If she's following me we might be drawing danger down on them!"

Annie groaned in frustration. "Fine! But, we wait one more hour!" She crossed her arms over her huge breasts, daring us to argue.

Sam shrugged at my glance and I sighed into Annie's hair. "Alright, another hour."

So, we waited. The beams of light from the setting sun highlighting the purple flower bud and the two silhouettes within.
