The Yuki Family Part 1 (NSFW)

In Tales of Heroes, humanity has little to no knowledge or belief that the Mythics (Fairy Tale/Deities/Mythical Creatures) exist except for those that have their religious beliefs. Of course, there are a few amount of humans that know that the mythics walk among them that are taking up magical human disguises. In the end, humans can't see the difference...... There are many races that are in Tales of Heroes that exist on Earth. Take, for example, the Yuki, a family of rats that live in areas such as Japan, Southeast Asia, China, Korea, and the Western side of North America as they spread outward without any real human knowledge. They are the most prolific of "races" and most successful after a disaster wiped out most of the mythics five hundred years ago. The story follows the fairy tale The Espousal of the Rat's Daughter (although stories don't always come out to be the same in real life) where a rat princess by the name of Yuki was to be married to the most beautiful and respected among the Rat Kingdom. These almost practical ordinary rats were a group of sun worshipers where they hoped to have Yuki marry the sun. Princess Yuki, in her knowing knowledge, knew that the sun and even the cloud would never marry her. In a futile attempt, she was to marry the most handsome rat of the land, but even she was not interested in this rat bachelor. She wanted to marry the smartest and most powerful creatures in existence on Earth, and she knew what she needed to do. Princess Yuki would travel for months through danger where she would find a sorcerer that would grant her the deepest wish she ever had. She wanted to be able to marry and continue her kin with humans. The sorcerer would grant Yuki her deepest desire, and her body transformed. She was no longer the tiny rat but a 4-foot tall walking, talking rat that walked on two legs. She could speak with humans and be mostly at better eye level than the ground altogether. She, like many of the mythics, could take up human form, looking like a woman of Japan when she needed to. Happy and excited, she thanked the sorcerer and retreated to her kingdom to tell the news. Unfortunately, tragedy follows even what might be the happiest ending. Upon returning to her kingdom she found that a mythical creature had destroyed her home. All her family, friends, and people were gone. Saddened, she went and moved on and, in her human form, eventually found a dock worker in Japan. She revealed the truth that she was a rat and that she wanted to stay with him for as long as he naturally lived. He agreed and they married. Yuki was surprised that the magic that transformed her allowed her to get pregnant as well. Determined, she vowed to return her kingdom to its former glory no matter what. She would have four children with this man, all of them rat pups like her........ The children of Yuki would also find men of their own and follow the same suit. Mythics, much like the Yuki, never age and live forever. Following their mother's wishes, they began to seek out other human men to reveal or take what they needed. They wanted more and more rats like themselves. The bigger the family got, the better in restoring the kingdom to what it formerly was. Male rats born were infertile with the human women they met, and the idea of trying to interbreed among the female rats was out of the question for the Yuki family. Most of the rat pups born were female, and human men were on the menu. Having children was considered the most important thing and even a status symbol among the family. Getting pregnant was essential and it was known that the family as it grew larger and larger in secret would go out of their way to finding men to marry and impregnate them. As the female rats would reach adulthood, they would go into heat. This would put their bodies in overdrive. If they did not have sex, the heat process could actually kill them. Boys and men would be over the course of several years be adopted by the family (raised to become breeding machines/husbands), kidnapped, or on rare cases raped to ensure they survived. In heat the females generated a chemical where when they had sex, it would seep into a human's bloodstream. The compound could drive the man to "lock" to her. This would cause the man to fall deeply in love with her, and she, in turn, would never leave him. Being in heat was the highest chance of getting pregnant. The Yuki began to spread in 1950 after WW2 when one of their own discovered the seed from the legendary Money Tree. The myth of the legend was that there was a tree in existence that could literally grow gold, diamonds, and other valuable minerals for the Yuki family to begin making massive profits. While the Coalition of Deities (Unity of Deities and Fairy Tale Characters) and their rules prevent the Yuki from revealing their true identity to humanity, the few that know them, know that the Yuki are massively influential in their own right. With massive amounts of money, the Yuki have begun to pull their weight in influencing governments and corporations around the world. Dens, massive underground cities, have been built under specific locations around California, Japan, China, Russia, Southeast Asia as their population exploded. While there are still around 1500 in total population-wise, that is an impressive number compared to one solitary rat that birthed the four pups to start off from over a hundred years ago. O Yuki San, the former princess of her fallen kingdom, has created one of the most successful networks to be ever known for a Fairy Tale character. All the rats look at Princess Yuki as their great overseer of the family. Her decisions hold all the weight as she contemplates her next series of moves for her family. Today the Yuki family continues to spread. They, like most fairy tale characters, lack magical abilities except the ability to take up the human form to mask their real appearances to humanity. The enormous money reserves that the Yuki have means that they can adopt human boys easily. They then raise them to be future husbands, give them education, provide the latest technological advances, fund massive science projects, medical research, all to advance the family line. Having children is a status symbol, the more, the merrier. With endless money now, children have everything, and nothing is stopping them from having as many as they want. Children.....the pups born from their mothers can take up human form. The human form of the Yuki is that of the mother and the human father together. This means that their infiltration network benefits from having husbands from all over the globe. This of course, doesn't restrict them to having husbands from everywhere but Japan where they originated, but it is an observation nonetheless. Having a husband is valuable to the Yuki. If you are unable to conceive, they will ensure that you can with their advanced medical technology. Going into heat is one thing that they have to contend with. Sisters that know that one of them is going into heat will share the husband to for another to ensure that she does not die. It is not uncommon for the human to have not only a wife but others that they may impregnate and have as well for a wife or close companion. Some cases, a man may have as many as three wives in these circumstances. Pregnancy lasts around 7 to 8 months for the Yuki. After they give birth, in a couple of weeks, they can get pregnant again. One husband supposedly had forty-two pups during his lifetime. The Yuki do not care how old you are since they do not age after they reach adulthood. They like most of the mythics (Deities/Mythical creatures/Fairy Tale characters), acknowledge that humans only live so long. It is a natural process of life. To the Yuki, if you can produce, then that is what they will get. For now, the Yuki remains unseen to humanity. You might be walking down the street to see the pretty woman from Japan or China that will come to talk to the random man. She may seem open to you, kind and considerate, little do you know that she is one of the Yuki that seeks to find a suitor for her luxurious home or to be brought to the great Dens to live as a lover, husband, future father, breeder.
