Prompt: The worst day of my life.

 I rouse my wife, holding her in my arms as she slowly comes to. When she does, she spends a few moments remembering, then the tears come. I hold her, ignoring the mess those men made of her, and make sure she can cry on my shoulder. After a few minutes her tears stop, and she looks up at me.

"Do you know where they went?" She asks, I shake my head.

"But we'll find them." I promise, pulling her in tight.

We go back to the resort, as we enter people start giving us congratulations, until they see our faces.

"Sir, ma'am, what happened?" One concerned employee asks.

"It doesn't matter. But can I ask, where's the best place to find troublesome humans around here?" Her concern deepens, but she's gently pulled aside as an ogre steps up.

"Let me guess, a group of men came up behind you, knocked you out and raped your wife." I nod, asking if she knows anything about it.

"Yeah. I've had two friend's whose wedding nights were ruined by those assholes. They're damned slippery though. Guards have been hunting them down for months now, without so much as a hint." I nod, looking at my wife. The mess about her is a reminder of the horrible night, but also our best lead.

"We can track them down. We just need some ingredients." I give the ogre and woman a list of materials and tell them to meet us in our room. We pull some of the spattered seed from her fur and put it in a vial. The two women arrive with the requested ingredients, along with four other couples.

There's a harpy, an arachne, a kejourou and a minotaur, along with their husbands. They all have the same grave look on their faces.

"I take it you're all victims of this group too?" All eight of them nod. My wife takes the things from the ogre.

"So, what are we doing?" Asks the minotaur, flaring her nostrils "How are we finding these guys to beat the everloving shit out of them?" I nod along to the idea, happy we're all on the same page.

"A little spirit tracking ritual. We put together the stuff our friends here got, and we can track down the largest source of spirit energy that links with what's in the sample here." I pick up the vial and drip the contents onto the copper plate at the centre of the ritual.

After adding some magic to the mix, a pale blue arrow appears, making the plate look like a clock. The arrow swings around a few times, before locking in a direction, and moving quickly.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"He's close." My wife states, picking up the plate and handing it to me.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"Then let's get moving." We all make our way downstairs, towards the source of the spirit energy. We find him sitting at the pool, eyes cautiously looking at everyone around him. When he spot's us he bolts, taking off away from us. There's a flurry of wings and the harpy's off after him, the rest of us giving chase from the ground.

<p style="font-weight:400;">The chase is short, thanks to the harpy. She grabs him and pins him down with her feet, shoving his face into the sandy beach. We catch up to them, and it's all me and my wife can do to stop the minotaur and ogre from throwing him into the ocean.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"We still need information from him." My wife says, holding back the minotaur.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"Fuck that, the only thing I need from this asshole is his balls on my wall!" She shouts, trying to shove passed my wife. As she's going that I have the arachne tie the man up and kneel down in front of him.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"So, I'm only going to ask this once. Where are your friends?" He spits at me, though it falls shot and lands in the sand.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"I'm not telling you shit!" I raise an eyebrow.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"Well, if you're not going to talk, I'm sure these lovely ladies would have fun popping your meat off like the old days." He gives me a threatening look.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"As if they'd be that stupid." The arachne grunts, grabbing a thread and hoisting him up into a tree, leaving him dangling against the trunk.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"Well, you and your friends did rape them on their wedding nights, while threatening to kill their husbands." I pull my own knife out, and cut open his pants. "If they don't castrate you, rest assured. I will." He starts to say something again, when I put the knife to his throat.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"There's more than monsters here, and we humans are much more prone to killing each other, isn't that right?" I turn to look at the other men, all of whom are nodding, two of them even draw their own weapons. "I'm not asking again, so how about a new question. Who's next on your list?" He doesn't say anything for a few seconds, but when the three of us with weapons start moving he cries out in terror.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"Okay, okay, I'll tell you! I'll tell you! It's the pretty hinezumi! I swear, it's her." I nod, cutting the bindings loose.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"We're going to be waiting for you and your friends. If you don't show, I'll use this tracking spell to find you, and then you're going to regret a lot more than just ambushing newly weds. Got it?" He nods, getting to his feet, when everyone moves to block him I wave them off.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"Let him go." They all look at me like I've gone mad. "I doubt he's alone, and I doubt even more that they'll make a move if someone's missing." After a few seconds an opening forms and he bolts.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"You better be right about this." The minotaur growls.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"Whoever these people are, they've avoided guards, and they've avoided you. They know what they're doing. And it'll be much more satisfying to get all of them in one hit." We head back to the resort and organise ourselves. I ask the woman if she know's the hinezumi's plans.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"Yeah, she's getting married tomorrow at the base of the volcano. They're walking back afterwards." I nod, thinking.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"Alright, everyone, we're going to be scattered along the path. You see the ambushers, you move. We'll get them this time." They all nod, and we split until tomorrow night. Closing the door I lean against it and sigh.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"I hope we get them." I mutter, opening my eyes to my wife kneeling in front of me.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"We will. This isn't our first time dealing with trouble like them." She takes my hands and kisses them. "We also need to make up for such a horrible first night." She says with a smile. I return it, wrapping my arms around her and kissing her on the lips.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"That we do." I grab the concoction we brought just for our first night. We don't sleep that night, and we utterly erase the events of the previous night from our minds.

<p style="font-weight:400;">We spend the day carefully looking around the resort. We pick up on four potential assailants, all of which subtly try to blend into the background when they notice us. When night comes, all of us meet up at the resort entrance.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"Ceremony should finish in five minutes. Let's go." The employee guides us through the short treck to the mountains base. We find them just after they've attacked. The hinezumi's curled up and shivering, her fire doused in water, while her husband lays unconscious on the ground. The six men gathered around them have started moving them when we arrive.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"Put them down, and get on your knees!" The arachne shouts, getting all of their attention. They drop their prisoners and all make a run for it. Unfortunately for them, there's only two ways to go; through the dense jungle around the mountain filled with the more wild mamono, or up the path towards the crowd from the ceremony.

<p style="font-weight:400;">Two don't make it four steps before they're wrapped up in arachne webbing, the other four opt for the jungle, and we give chase. Between our numbers and skills, none of them escape. We all bring them back to the path, where the girl from the resort is helping to dry off the hinezumi and the husband is coming to.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"W-what happened?" He asks as he sits up.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"You were ambushed by these men." The kejourou says, throwing her captive onto the road, where the arachne ties him up. "I'm going to be washing scum off of my hair for weeks." She mutters.

<p style="font-weight:400;">We're wiating for a good three minutes before the minotaur and her husband return with their member, already unconscious and covered in bruises. She dumps him next to the road, before eyeing the other five.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"Can I get these ones too?" She growls, cracking her knuckles. I shake my head, getting a glare from her. "Why not?!"

<p style="font-weight:400;">"Because she came up with a better idea." I say with a smile, putting a hand around my the employee girl. "And it won't work if you beat them bloody before hand." All of the men are looking worried, eyes darting between the various monsters standing around them.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"It better be a good one, or else I'm cracking that one in the nose." She growls, pointing at one of the men. She glares at him as she speaks. "I still remember you taking me first."

<p style="font-weight:400;">"No, no, that wasn't me, it was Ben!" He nods his head towards another of the men, who immediately denies it. This starts an argument amongst them until my wife get's their attention.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"Doesn't matter, because you'd all be getting the same beating from the both of us if this woman hadn't had another idea." She nods at her, and she explains her plan.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"Okay, so everyone, I'm going to offer another option from just straight up beating these... creatures, to within an inch of their lives." I grab the one who we caught previously. "With the exception of this one, we take them back to the resort, lock them in stocks for a few weeks with this sign hung around their necks." She pulls a wooden sign out of her pack, reading;

<p style="font-weight:400;">'We raped mamono on their wedding night and forced the husbands to watch.

<p style="font-weight:400;">Punish us!'

<p style="font-weight:400;">"And we leave a supply of... 'suplements' for their punishment with them." The minotaur smiles, as do the kejourou and the arachne.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"I've already organised it with the manager." The employee adds. "We've already set up a dozen stocks, and we're going to be adding it to the criminal punishment records." She gives the men a dark look, with a smile that could scare the gods themselves. "I'll personally be visiting them regularly."

<p style="font-weight:400;">"And what about him? He wasn't exactly cooperative when we caught him." The harpy glares, perched on her husbands shoulders.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"Oh, he get's the same punishent, he just gets early release." I look at him for a few seconds, letting the fear soak in. "I'll let the staff decide what's fair for all of them, actually." The ogre smiles wickedly.

<p style="font-weight:400;">We all make the trek back to the resort, dragging the men along in their bindings, seeing as how no one wanted to carry them. Once there we give the hinezumi and her husband our best wishes, and go to the new stockade. The girl wasn't kidding when she said the hotel manager gave full support. The area's not only raised onto a stage, but there's two whole racks of gear. Everything from cock rings, to paddles, to strap ons, if it could be used to punish or violate someone, it was there.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"Well, I don't know about you all, but all this talk of punishment's got my furnace burning." The minotaur says, picking up her husband and slinging him over her shoulder. "C'mon, babe, I've got a raging mushroom with your name on it." Before they're too far away she promises to come back tomorrow to make use of the new 'toys'.

<p style="font-weight:400;">The rest of us go to the restaurant and get food. We all have a good time talking and eating, the owner even let's us eat for free after hearing what's happened. As we're leaving there are two guards waiting outside, a blue and red oni, who call us over as we step out.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"I hear you two headed up this whole hunt." The red oni asks, looking us up and down.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"Yeah, but only because you apparently couldn't do it yourselves." My wife says accusingly. The red oni arcs up slightly, but her partner puts a calming hand on her.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"She's not wrong. We came for two things." She pulls out a bag of coins and hands it to us. "First, the whole town thanks you for taking care of them, we've been trying to find the bastards for months now. Second, where in the world are you two from?" We look at each other for a moment.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"Well, I'm a knight for the kingdom of Sarthis." I say

<p style="font-weight:400;">"As am I." My wife responds. The blue oni nods quietly for a moment.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"Sarthis, that's on the northen border, isn't it?" I nod. "Heh, and here I was thinking you might be some kind of travelling adventurers. They're usually the ones who solve these kinds of problems." I nod in agreement. Whenever something big comes up there always seems to be a handfull of adventurers with their own way to solve it.

<p style="font-weight:400;">"Well, thanks again for tieing that up. And have a happy honeymoon." The red oni throws us a vial of something with a wink. Looking at the label it's another dose of our wedding night potion. I give my wife a smile as we head back to the resort, with the full intention of using it.
