Moments later, a huge man with horns approached the
Moroboshi residence. The fellow was dressed in a tiger-
striped outfit, and had a perpetual snarl on his face. He
had come to wish his daughter and future son-in-law a happy
engagement anniversary. However, things looked amiss as he
approached the front of the house. Noticing the destroyed
door, he squeezed into the house the best that he could.
"Lum! Son-in-law!" he bellowed as he took in the
damage that was inflicted on the house..
"What?!" Ataru screamed, coming to. He put his hand to
the back of his head and nursed a nasty bump that had
appeared there following his swan dive down the stairs.
"Son-in-law!" he said as he glided over to him from the
front door. "Where's Lum?!"
" I don't know," Ataru said with a terrible look on his
face. "She's missing."
"What happened here?" he demanded. "What have you done
with my daughter?"
"Your highness, I don't know! I just got here myself.
Something terrible HAS happened, but I feel that it's better
to show you than to tell you. Follow me!" Ataru said as he
rushed upstairs. Prepared this time, he held his nose
against the pungent odor of the decaying body.
Displaying an uncanny level of dexterity, Lum's father
floated upstairs behind Ataru. As they approached his
bedroom, Ataru held out his arm, stopping the King from
advancing any further.
"Father-in-law," Ataru started, not realizing what he'd
just said. "I should warn you that it's pretty gross in
there."
"I've seen your bedroom before, Ataru..."
"THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT! Just hold your nose and
follow me carefully."
They advanced into his room, where the decaying body
still lay. Ataru was used to the sight now, but the King
was too overcome to speak. He just stood there, shaking.
Moments later Ataru cringed as the King yelled at the top of
his lungs, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Slumping his shoulders, the King bowed his head and
mumbled "... they've come. Those bastards have come and now
they have my daughter..."
"Uhh, Father-in-law, do you know what's going on?"
Ataru asked carefully.
"Let's get out of here first Ataru. It stinks," the
King replied in a scary monotone.
<*>
After lingering on his bed for a few minutes, the two
disengaged from their embrace and stood. Megane noticed the
mess they made on his bed with a slight grimace. He didn't
mind however, the mess was an expected outcome from what
they had done `and will do many times in the future, I
hope.' Something that shocked him, however, was that all of
the snow had melted completely, leaving a puddle of water on
his floor. `We haven't been going at it that long, have
we?' he thought to himself as he followed Oyuki's sinuous
form into the bathroom.
They went into the shower together. Watching her begin
to bathe, Megane managed to restrain himself from having sex
with her again, although he didn't object as she reached her
arms around his neck and kissed him deeply. `Hell, this is
so wild! We've just met,' he thought as he returned the
kiss, sliding his hands down to grab her behind. His hands
wandered the white globes of Oyuki's rounded ass as they
drew closer to each other.
She broke the kiss with a wink and turned around. She
drew her long hair over one shoulder so he could soap and
wash her back. He happily did so, occasionally kissing her
on the nape of her exposed neck while he scrubbed. Unable
to resist the temptation, he lathered the soap liberally in
his hands, and reached around under her arms to wash her
breasts.
She held her arms up and wrapped them around the back
of his neck, pressing her back against his chest, happily
accepting the caressing wash. Megane's slick hands pressed
against the underside of her breasts, as he felt the weight
of her fleshy mounds. Slowly, he glided his soapy fingers
across her breasts, rubbing in small circles that orbited
her prominent nipples.
Occasionally he would close his hands gently on the
underside of her breasts, kneading the soft skin with his
fingers. Oyuki moaned lightly under all of this treatment,
Megane's bathing techniques getting her hot again.
Eventually, Megane disengaged his hands from her breasts, to
their mutual disappointment. Oyuki dropped one of her hands
from his neck, and began stroking her breasts while she
moaned constantly.
His penis went erect as it came to mind what it was
they were doing. He tried to ignore the fact that his
member was poking up into the crevice of Oyuki's ass, and
soaped his hands liberally and slid them across her tight
stomach. As his hands roamed across her abdomen, they
occasionally made contact with feather soft hair, and he
knew that he had reached her sex. Pushing his soapy hands
downward, he started washing her vagina. His roaming
fingers found her clitoris, which was erect and throbbing.
Oyuki shuddered as Megane's hand made contact with her
sensitive clit. She sagged forward, bracing herself with a
hand against one of the shower walls, while stroking her
breast with the other. She felt Megane bring his free hand
around her waist, trying to support her further.
His fingers stroked her clit continuously, and
occasionally Megane's hand would descend from her button
down her slit to send a finger probing slightly inside her.
His stroking hand was getting Oyuki so aroused that she
could feel herself building up to go off again. Adding fuel
to her fire was Megane's raging hard-on pressing into her
ass. She knew that he was as turned on as she was, and that
made her hotter.
Megane's resolve crumbled. He wanted another piece of
Oyuki, now! He stopped stroking her sex and grabbed her
hips, turning her around. Face-to-face now, he grabbed one
of her legs in his hands, and moved himself between them.
Oyuki's hands went around the back of his neck and linked
together, as her lips went to his. Their tongues met and
their kiss deepened, their breath hot and ragged as each got
more and more excited.
Megane positioned the head of his rod at the entrance
of her vagina, and pressed in. Still slick from their last
go-round, he slid in easily, and once again he was inside
the blessed warmth of Oyuki's tunnel. She moaned loudly as
Megane's member slid into her dark, wet chamber. She felt
his hands grab both of her legs, and suddenly her feet were
off the shower floor.
His penis sank all the way inside her, as their sexes
meshed completely. Megane growled as the pleasure of their
joining traveled through him. Oyuki's legs wrapped around
the small of Megane's back, and he took her tight ass in his
hands to support her. Then he began moving her back and
forth with his hands, somehow pounding into her in the
confined space of the shower stall.
Megane's erect pole appeared from and disappeared back
into her clenching vagina time and time again. Screwing
like a man possessed, he pumped inside her until suddenly
Oyuki moaned into their kiss and dug her fingernails into
his back, drawing blood. Oblivious to the pain, Megane knew
she was almost there. He went faster, the swollen head of
his rod rubbing back and forth against the well lubricated
walls of her throbbing sex.
Unable to keep the kiss, Oyuki moved her head from his
and laid it against his shoulder. She wrapped her arms
tightly around his shoulders and bit down on one of her
fingers to keep from screaming as she rode him for all it
was worth. Oyuki's ass bounced off of Megane's thighs
rhythmically, his greased member invading her again and
again until her vision blurred and she shouted. She came
copiously, her honey running out of her, and down Megane's
balls and legs.
Megane, nearly deafened by Oyuki's cry, intensified his
pumping. Suddenly he tensed, his balls contracting as he
shot his seed inside her. Their motion stopped as they
clung to each other, Megane's member twitching continuously,
pouring his essence into her. Soon the only sound in the
shower was that of the warm water pouring from the shower
head, splashing against Megane's back and running down the
drain.
Megane sagged against the wall of the shower, still
holding the object of his dreams in his hands. As Oyuki
relaxed against Megane, drops of his come leaked out from
between his rod and the tight lips of her vagina,
commingling with her own juices, and running down the drain
with the warm water.
Carefully, Oyuki brought her legs down so she could
stand up, while Megane kept his hands on her ass until he
knew her feet were on the shower floor. Slowly he brought
his hands away, and Oyuki promptly collapsed to the shower
floor with a surprised yelp.
The force of her orgasm had made her very unstable on
her feet. Her legs were wobbly, and she was still too rocky
from their last sexual go-'round to be able to stand on her
own. Reacting quickly, Megane caught her at the waist,
lifted her up so they were face to face, and held her to him
until she regained her stability. Without saying a word,
Oyuki lightly wrapped her arms around Megane and lay her
head against his chest, gratified that he was there for her.
Then, much more sedately this time, he knelt down and
washed her vagina. She put a hand on his shoulder to keep
herself upright while he tenderly cleaned the fruit of their
combined labor from the rosy petals of her delicate sex. He
stood again and kissed Oyuki on the forehead. She
reciprocated by lathering her hands and stroking his semi-
erect penis, cleansing it of all evidence of their wonderful
activities. They rinsed each other off under the shower
head, then exited the shower.
Megane turned to gaze at his lover as she stepped from
the shower and walked towards him. Steam danced off of
Oyuki's sexy body. Rivulets of water traced courses along
her sensuous curves. Water droplets cascaded down her
chest, over her erect nipples, and collected at the
underside of her rounded breasts. There they formed into
droplets that fell to the floor, forming two puddles at her
feet.
Megane reached out and stroked the water from her
twinned swells with his hands, the captured drops of water
running down his fingers. He moved his hands from her
breasts and around her back. He pulled her towards him and
let his hands roam her wet bare ass, then kissed her deeply.
Remembering the social, they broke the kiss. He then
grabbed two towels, handed one to Oyuki, and they dried each
other off.
It had occurred to Megane while he was toweling Oyuki
off that he was fortunate that his parents weren't around.
Had they been, he would have had to explain why he was
moaning like a woman in the shower. They'd never have
bought the excuse that he'd had a woman with him.
<*>
Looking very relieved, Shinobu daintily extracted
herself from the bathroom.
"Whew! That was very necessary. Thank you," Shinobu
said as she extricated herself from the bathroom. She
paused for a second, her expression changing slightly.
Looking up to Mendou, she spoke again, "I am curious,
however, as to why you came searching for me in the first
place. Surely you could have sent one of your guards to
look for me," she reasoned. Mendou's blank look indicated
that he wasn't comprehending her context. "I mean, why me?
I'm sure that there were much more attractive girls you
could have spent your time with."
Mendou's face was a study in duality as he fought to
mask the shock and embarrassment he felt over the bluntness
of Shinobu's question. He coughed slightly, clearing his
throat and concealing a sudden blush that had worked it's
way to his face. "I was worried about you Shinobu. This is
a big place, and someone could easily get lost. I couldn't
stand it if something had happened to you." `Oh well, might
as well go for broke now...' he thought to himself. "In all
honesty, the reason I looked for you is that I wanted to be
with you. In fact, ever since my first day at Tomobiki I've
wanted to be with you," he completed in a rush.
Shinobu was taken aback by his honesty. Her hands flew
to her face in surprise, as her eyes shimmered with the
beginnings of tears. Quicker than she meant to, she blurted
out, "I've wanted you too, Shutaro-kun!"
"REALLY Shinobu?!" he asked in a surprised voice, his
eyes occupying two-thirds of his face.
"Yes, Shutaro-kun! Ataru will probably hate me for
life for saying this, but I don't care. You're the one I've
wanted for a long while," she said, her confidence starting
to build.
"Shinobu, I ..."
No longer able to ignore the burning that had been
building since they started talking, Shinobu decided to take
the initiative. She'd wanted to divest herself of her
virginity for awhile, but only with him. "I want you
Shutaro-kun..." Shinobu almost begged as she reached to kiss
him.
Mendou didn't know how to respond to her overture at
first, showing a slight hesitation as she pressed her body
against his. However it didn't take long for him to recover
his senses and return the kiss. Almost running to the bed,
Shinobu kept kissing Mendou as he reached his arms around
her and pulled on the zipper to her dress. The damn thing
didn't want to budge, however, and Mendou was quickly
running out of patience.
A mischievous grin formed on her face, as she figured
out how to give Mendou a little incentive. Putting her hand
up to his chest, she ran her fingers up and down his shirt,
playfully unbuttoning it for him. Mendou shuddered in
expectation as Shinobu's dainty hands worked across his
chest, making minute contact with him through the fabric of
his shirt.
Her incentive apparently worked as he grabbed her by
the shoulders and turned her around abruptly. Mendou's mind
was fueled by passion as he suddenly whipped his katana out
of nowhere and brought it to bear against her. A small
growl worked its way from his mouth as he slashed down with
the blade, severing the ties that bound her dress. He stood
back from her as she slowly reached her hand around her back
to feel for the zipper that was no longer there.
Shinobu gasped lightly as she felt bare skin where
fabric should've been. Turning around quickly, she looked
at Mendou in shock as she understood what he did. He held
his katana in one hand as he nervously scratched his head
with the other. "Did you just...?" she began in disbelief.
Mendou laughed nervously and dropped his katana at the
side of the bed. He nodded at her haltingly, unsure of what
she would do to him.
Shinobu smiled at him. "That was so... " she said
hesitantly, clasping her hands together as a deeply sensual
expression replaced her initial shock. She reached out to
him with a warm smile on her face, as her dress fell from
her body.
With a whisper of silk on her pure skin, the remains of
her outfit slid down her body. As her dress hit the floor,
she was left clad in only a black bra, panties, and
pantyhose. In a strained voice, Shinobu asked Shutaro to
stand back for a moment. Then in a motion borne of habit,
Shinobu unhooked her bra, slouched her arms and shoulders
forward, and let the straps descend from her shoulders and
slip down her arms. Sitting back up, she nervously took a
deep breath and let the bra hit the ground at Mendou's feet.
Her freed breasts swayed slightly as she moved her
hands down her body to rid herself of the rest of her
clothes. Already at the bursting point, Mendou watched
helplessly as Shinobu finished undressing. She wiggled her
tender little hips seductively, hooking her thumbs between
her silky skin and the elastic of her pantyhose, and pulled
off the remainder of her underwear.
As her pantyhose descended, Mendou got a good look at
the long expanse of leg that Shinobu was exhibiting. He
hungrily licked his lips and twitched visibly, trying to
restrain himself. As he allowed his gaze to linger, he saw
just how truly beautiful she was, and was kicking himself
for not seeing it sooner! Shinobu tossed her pantyhose and
panties out of the way, and stood erect with her legs parted
to let Mendou explore her young womanhood with his eyes.
"Shinobu, you're absolutely beautiful!" he verbally
understated as he took in Shinobu's naked body.
Her cute face, flushed with embarrassment and
excitement, was enchanting. His gaze descended to her small
breasts, the pear-shaped swells rising and falling slowly
under her labored breathing were entrancing Mendou. Their
pert reddish nipples were surrounded by the flawless skin of
youth, and were firmly erect and pronounced. He reluctantly
pushed his gaze downward, past her ribs and slim belly and
finally stopping at the delta between her legs. His eyes
penetrated the fine covering of raven hair which was only
slightly obscuring her virgin sex.
Mendou's attention did not go unnoticed. Shinobu's
desire was rising greatly as he gazed directly at her body.
Unable to help herself any longer, she reached her right
hand up to her left breast and caressed its stiffened
nipple. Soft moaning issued from her mouth as she explored
herself. Straining against himself to pounce on her, Mendou
started to visibly shake. As if on cue, Shinobu looked at
him and, with her lower lip trembling, held her free hand
out to him.
Unable to control himself any longer, Mendou accepted
the proffered hand. Stopping himself short of lunging at
her in the heat of passion, he tugged on her hand and drew
her down to him and gently laid her down on the bed. He
brought his hand up and caressed her face while giving her a
kiss.
Wanting her desperately, Mendou broke the kiss and sat
up, quickly stripping off his clothes, leaving only his
underwear on. Bending down to her again, he used his mouth
and tongue to explore her. Working from her neck to her
shoulders, he moved downwards, his mouth making love to her
vibrant body.
Placing his hands on her sides, he brought his head up
to her chest. Mendou then brought his mouth to her petite
breasts, savoring the taste of Shinobu's young skin as his
tongue glided across her upper body. She could only whimper
slightly and tremble as strange new feelings cascaded
through her.
Encouraged by her moaning, Mendou continued his
exploration. He slowly encircled the base of her breasts,
making sure that no part was left unattended by the feather
touch of his lips and tongue. Shinobu gasped as Mendou took
her right nipple in his mouth. He rolled it around with his
tongue, flicking and sucking it like a children's candy.
She put her hands on Mendou's head and stroked his hair,
relishing the ecstasy that his nursing was providing her.
Inflamed with lust, Mendou milked her breasts for all they
were worth.
While he suckled, he stroked his hands down her sides
in a gentle caress, moving his hands past her hips and up
her stomach. He regretfully removed his mouth from her
tasty breasts and grabbed them with his hands. Slowly he
stroked the base of each breast with broad strokes while
occasionally rubbing their taut nipples between thumb and
forefinger. As his hands worked their magic on her breasts,
his tongue traced a line down her body. He nipped and
kissed as his head descended from her breasts, roaming his
way down her stomach and around her navel until he finally
got to the core of her femininity.
Mendou parted the fine black hairs of her sex with his
mouth and tongue, exposing the slit of her vagina. He blew
softly on her clit and nuzzled it with his nose, inhaling
the intoxicating scent of her sweet essence. Using his
tongue, he teased her further by licking the puffy outer
lips of her vagina and roaming the area around its cleft
before he settled on her clit. Shinobu's breathing became
shallow, and her shivering increased as he licked and sucked
all across her treasure.
He moved one of his hands from her breasts and parted
the pink folds of her femininity with two fingers; all the
while keeping his mouth locked on her clit. Slowly he sent
the two fingers to probe deep inside her, and felt the
enchanting heat and sticky wetness of her womanhood. She
gasped loudly as he pushed his fingers deeper inside her and
began to slowly twist them so that they rubbed against the
tight walls of her trembling orifice.
Shinobu grabbed Mendou's hair and started pushing his
head into her, as her passion claimed control of her. Her
eyes screwed shut, she ground her hips up into him,
thrusting her sex as far as she could into his face.
Needing no further incentive from her, Mendou pressed his
face full force into her femininity and used his tongue to
probe her slick tunnel. He pulled his other hand from her
tender breasts and started stroking her belly and flanks,
never releasing the locked grip his mouth had on her.
Shinobu's grip relented a bit, allowing her fingers to run
through Mendou's hair. But she continued to arch her hips
upwards in response to his incessant suckling.
Mendou's actions drove her to the edge of absolute
ecstasy. Wild now, she threw her legs around him and
captured his head between her silky thighs, shoving her sex
as far as she could into his face and grabbing handfuls of
his hair. "OOOOHHHHH YESSS!" she screamed as he brought her
beyond orgasm, her head thrashing side-to-side. Taking deep
gulps of air, Shinobu continued to scream with pleasure as
her head shook. Her juices were a river rushing out of her
body as Mendou's constant sucking drove her insane. He
drank what cum he could from her sacred chalice, his face
getting liberally soaked by what remained. He gently
stroked her breasts as he consumed the fruit of her sex,
losing himself in her release.
Shinobu calmed down and stroked Mendou's hair with her
fingers. He brought his face back up to hers and took her
in a passionate embrace giving her a slow, loving kiss.
Shinobu returned the kiss with interest, thrusting her
tongue forward and exploring Mendou's mouth. She tasted a
hint of herself as her tongue wandered her lover's mouth,
arousing her sexual desire again. She reached down and felt
the bulge in his underwear that had been rubbing against her
thighs earlier. Making a quick decision, she broke the kiss
and descended.
Mendou watched with growing anticipation as Shinobu
lowered herself to his manhood and began to rub it through
his underwear. She looked up at him in and winked. Mendou
arched his hips up and she removed his underwear with a
quick yank. Snapping free from it's restraint, his stiff
rod held itself out from his body. She gazed spellbound at
his member as it stood in it's full prominence, then she
moved herself closer to it. Lying down on his back, Mendou
gasped loudly as she sat between his legs on the bed and
took his rod in her hands. Slowly, she traced her finger
along the head of his tool with one hand while cupping his
balls with the other, nuzzling them with her face. She then
completely grasped his member in her hands and pumped.
Mendou's eyes bugged out and a strangled cry issued
from his mouth, "not... so... tight... Shinobu...!"
Realizing that she was squeezing the life out of his penis,
she released it. With an extremely embarrassed look on her
face, she said, "Oops! Sorry, Shutaro-kun! I'll make it
better!" With that, she gingerly took his flaccid rod in
her hands and stroked the length of it with her fingers.
It quickly regained it's full prominence under her
kinder and gentler touch. Shinobu had never been with a man
before, so she'd never given someone a blowjob. The idea of
taking Mendou's object into her mouth both tantalized her
and frightened her. She swept her doubts away, however, as
she concentrated on bringing Mendou as much pleasure as he
did for her. With this in mind she kissed the head of his
member softly, and slipped her tongue slightly from her
lips. She turned her head to the side and worked her way
down the length of his shaft, slightly nipping with her lips
as she descended. Shinobu worked slowly on Mendou's tool,
learning how to make love with her mouth. Mendou sighed
(pleasantly this time) as Shinobu's rising and descending
motion worked it's magic on each side of his rod.
She rose to the top of his penis, and with a determined
look, put the head of his rod to her lips. Letting it do
the work for her, her mouth was slowly forced opened by the
head of Mendou's throbbing rod as she descended down his
length. A long moan escaped Mendou's lips as his tool
entered the blessedly slick warmth of her mouth. His hips
bucked upwards reflexively as she continued to slide her
mouth down his tool. Struggling against his movements,
Shinobu started working her head up and down, tongue
stroking away as his rod traveled in and out of her mouth.
After a few minutes of this, Mendou was in pure bliss.
However, he felt himself starting to lose control. All of
his muscles were tensing in anticipation of release!
Shinobu swirled her tongue over every bit of penis that
it could touch, when something happened. Suddenly, she
tasted a small drop of salty fluid on her tongue as Mendou's
whole body went stiff beneath her. Then, with an animal
cry, Mendou lost his fight to control himself and came
copiously in Shinobu's mouth. Surprised, she managed to
repress her instinct to gag. But the taste was so new and
so difficult for her to take that she couldn't swallow his
cum, and wound up having the lot of it spill out of her
mouth, over her hands, and onto his twitching member and
balls.
Mendou's ragged breathing slowed to normal, and his
penis went soft in her mouth. Daintily, she extracted his
member from her mouth, and let it droop over his balls.
Shinobu felt the mass of his cum cool off on her hands and
get really sticky, so she reached over the side of the bed.
Pulling up the ruined tatters of her dress from the floor,
she quickly wiped her hands off on the fabric of the back,
then dropped the garment unceremoniously to the ground. She
kissed the head again, a small bead of cum linking her lips
as it met the head of his rod. She dropped his member
against his belly, the bead of cum elongating until it
snapped and lingered on her lip.
Shinobu licked her lip instinctively, and tasted the
bead of Mendou's seed that clung there. She admitted that
while it tasted odd, she figured she could get used to his
cum if she ever gave him head again. Scandalized by the
thought of drinking his hot seed, she blushed, feeling a
wave of lust pass through her. Wanting suddenly to give him
more, Shinobu scaled her way up Mendou's body, her dangling
breasts caressing his skin as she moved, until her head lay
on his chest. They rotated on their sides, still facing
each other. She put her arms around him and released a
contented sigh. She looked up at him with a smile on her
face.
Several minutes of peaceable silence ensued as they lay
wrapped in each other's arms. Mendou looked down at the
woman in his arms, her supple skin warm and comforting in
his hands. As his eyes roamed her forbidden territory, his
hormones responded and his manhood rose again to the
occasion. Shinobu, sensing the sudden pressure against her
belly, looked up to him. She took his rod in her hands and
stroked it lightly. "I want this inside me, Shutaro-kun,"
she whispered, indicating the throbbing organ.
Mendou positioned himself to where he was lying on his
back. Shinobu straddled his waist and sat down, rubbing his
chest. Bending down, she dangled her breasts in his face,
placing one of the nipples towards his awaiting mouth.
Mendou raised his hands up and placed them on her back.
Bringing them forward, he traced his hands down her sides.
As he did this, he took her right breast in his mouth and
playfully nipped at her rosy nipple.
Shinobu response to this was to begin grinding her hips
in a downward motion. His hands continued their gentle
dance on her flanks, sliding down her body and meeting at
her ass. He squeezed the firm little cheeks of her ass,
enjoying the feeling of her soft skin as it slid beneath his
nimble fingers. Then he grabbed her hips with his hands and
began sliding her body down towards his awaiting rod.
As she slid down his body, she kissed him; lingering
at his mouth as their tongues intertwined in a dance of
passion. She continued downward, showering his chest with
kisses, her soft skin caressing his like an angel's touch.
Then with only slight apprehension, she positioned herself
at his stiff manhood. She slowly guided him into her and
was wracked with pleasure as the head of his rod started
inching his way inside her quivering mound. Mendou gasped
loudly as he made contact with her. The warm wetness of her
vagina almost made him come on the spot. His instinct was
to push hard as his tool touched the paradise of Shinobu's
slick vagina, but he managed to stop himself short of
hurting her.
Mendou rocked his hips slightly, pushing his rod up
into her slowly to allow the walls of her sex a chance to
become accustomed to his burden. He continued to push his
way in with small lunges, enjoying the feeling of his member
being clamped tightly by Shinobu's throbbing vagina as he
drove himself further inward.
He continued his assault until his member met with an
obstruction. Having reached her hymen he stopped for a
second, caressed her face and pulled out a little. Shinobu
put her hands on his shoulders, and arched her back a bit.
Then with a quick lunge Mendou thrust his member up as far
as he could. Shinobu screamed in pain as her virginity was
sundered by the unstoppable force of his thrusting penis.
Mendou stopped for a moment when she screamed, afraid
that he'd gone too far. Panting loudly, she had to nod to
tell him that she was okay, and willing to continue. They
shared a tender kiss and embrace. Mendou then laid Shinobu
down on the bed and got on top of her. Slowly, he initiated
a regular rhythm at a pace which allowed him to claim a
little more room within her with each thrust. As he
occupied more and more space within her, Shinobu's pain
lessened and turned to a deep, awe-inspiring pleasure. Her
young face screwed itself into a grimace as wave after wave
of sensual pleasure hit her, and her breaths became
shallower as she approached her peak.
Mendou was in a frenzy as his member continued to
burrow deeper and deeper into her sex. the walls of her
vagina maintained a vice-like grip on his rod as he slid in
and out of her relentlessly. She began to shiver
uncontrollably as a wave of intense sexual passion hit her.
Mendou's thrusts suddenly became shorter as he felt her body
shake under him. He grabbed her hips and pulled her up so
that only her head and shoulders rested on the bed.
Then he started slamming into her sex with abandon,
gritting his teeth and squeezing his eyes shut. Mendou
grunted loudly every time their bodies impacted. Shinobu
felt like she was on fire, the pistoning hardness of his
penis rubbing the tight walls of her sex was becoming more
than she could bear. She doubted that she could keep
herself from releasing any longer. In fact, she couldn't.
"AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!" she screamed as her first sexual
experience concluded with a body shaking orgasm. Mendou, at
a loss for words (and breath) came right after with a grunt.
Burying himself inside her as far as he could go, he flooded
Shinobu's sex with redoubtable dose of his cum. After what
seemed like an eternal orgasm, they collapsed together in a
heap of exhaustion.
The serendipitous lovers lay together absorbing the
feelings generated by the fantastic sex they'd just had.
Mendou regarded his partner as he lay against her on the
bed. He had always considered her to be a good and strong
woman, but he REALLY liked this new side of Shinobu. He
stroked her hair away from her flushed face and kissed her
damp forehead. `God, that was wonderful!' he thought to
himself in awe. `Lum-sama, I regret to inform you that I
have found the one I want to be with,' he thought as his
hands wrapped around the exhausted frame of Shinobu, holding
her close. He was determined to see that this sort of thing
happened again, and often.
Meanwhile, Shinobu marveled at how wonderful sex had
felt. Looking up at Mendou, she wondered what she ever saw
in Ataru. `That baka can have Lum, for all I care. They'll
never experience the joy I just did,' she thought to
herself. Content for the first time in as long as she could
remember, she raised her hands up around the back of
Mendou's neck. "Whew! That was *very* nice," she purred.
"Definitely my pleasure, Shinobu-chan," he replied,
holding onto her a little longer. After several minutes of
silence and rest, he moved to speak. "You know they're
probably missing us out there. Perhaps we should return to
the social," he said, kissing her again.
She looked at him with a mischievous grin on her
flushed face. "As soon as I can walk again, sure," she
replied with a wink.
Mendou picked up his clothes and dressed. He had just
finished buttoning his pants when he heard Shinobu politely
clear her throat behind him. He turned to her, and saw her
wearing her black panties, bra, and stockings. But she
wasn't in her dress. "What's wrong, Shinobu?" he asked in
concern.
Shinobu blew out an exasperated breath, and pointed
down to her ripped, and cum-stained dress. "You don't
seriously think that I can wear that out in public again, do
you?"
Mendou blushed severely, realizing that he probably
went too far when he ripped her dress off with his sword.
"Oops... I wasn't thinking when I did that."
Shinobu smiled and wrapped her arms around his waist,
pressing her underwear-clad body against him. "That's okay,
Shutaro-kun. To tell you the truth, it really turned me on
when you did that."
Mendou smiled, and could feel his exhausted member
trying to stir beneath his pants. As if it were possible,
Shinobu looked even more sexy to him with her underwear on.
He sundered his desire to avoid making love to Shinobu
again. He definitely wanted to, but he wasn't sure that his
absence would be tolerated much longer. Then he had a plan.
"Shinobu, you could borrow one of my sister's dresses.
She's about the same size you are."
Shinobu nodded, agreeing with his assessment. "Well,
let's get a dress," she said enthusiastically, releasing her
hold and heading to the closet.
Mendou frowned and cleared his throat. "Umm, Shinobu,
this isn't my sister's room."
She stopped in her tracks, and turned to look at him
from across the room. "Umm, Shutaro-kun," she asked
sweetly, as she batted her eyelashes. "How *far* away is
her bedroom?"
Mendou laughed nervously and scratched the back of his
head. "Umm. On the... other side of the compound..." he
said, wincing.
Shinobu paled for a moment, then relaxed. "Well, we'd
better get there quickly. I don't want to get caught
walking around your place in my underwear. At least, not
yet," she said mischievously, blowing him a kiss.
Mendou blushed a deep red, and walked to take her hand.
"We'd better get under way, then. It'll take us about five
minutes to get to Ryoko's room." `And I hope she isn't in
there,' he added to himself nervously. Then they exited the
room and quickly walked the maze of hallways to Ryoko's
room.
<*>
Ataru knew something was up. It was obvious from the
expression on the King's face that he had recognized
whatever it was that was lying on his bedroom floor. Once
they were outside the house, the King spoke.
"Son-in-law. If I am right, Lum is in terrible danger.
The thing that's laying dead on your floor is a soldier from
the forces of a leader named Prince Aylan Graven. They're
called `ShadowKnights.' They all wear black. And to help
instill fear in their enemies, they are deliberately
faceless."
The King looked down for a moment, as if to collect
himself. "The presence of a ShadowKnight here means that
Graven's forces are planning a move on the Oni empire. We
have to assume that they've abducted Lum. Only she or a
select few from my family could've toasted a ShadowKnight
the way that one was." `Atta girl!' he thought to himself
with a bit of pride.
"Who is this `Prince Graven' character, and what's he
doing with my Lum?" Ataru asked, the beginnings of anger
forming inside him.
"Graven was once a commander of an elite group of our
armed forces. His position in our military was quite high.
He was a status symbol, a figurehead to look up to by the
men of our military. Well, one day I caught him doing ...
something he shouldn't have, and had him arrested. I made
him an object of ridicule, and expelled him from my domain.
A small group of disaffected soldiers accompanied him when
he departed. As he left, he swore revenge against me for
the shame I'd caused him. Not long after that we received
word that he'd colonized a world just outside the rim of our
empire, and proclaimed himself Prince. This all happened
several years ago."
Ataru let this sink in, and came up with the obvious
question "What did Graven do to get himself kicked out?"
The King blushed in what appeared to be embarrassment,
and shuffled his feet, not answering Ataru's question.
"Well?" Ataru pressed.
The King released a sigh and looked at Ataru. "I
caught him with his hands in the cookie jar." he replied
simply.
"He was getting it on with your wife?!" Ataru replied
with a hint of jealousy. "That bastard..."
"NO! I mean, his hand was in the cookie jar! I caught
him stealing from my private batch of Oni-gooey oatmeal
cookies!" the King said, his eyes staring into the distance.
(Hey! You expecting something else? This is Urusei
Yatsura, after all! ^_^ )
Ataru's subsequent facefault remains in the record
books to this day. "Waitaminute! You mean to tell me that
Lum's been kidnapped because of some stolen COOKIES?!"
"Well, I guess you could look at it..." the King
started meekly. Then he rose up, his voice thunderous, "But
that asshole will regret ever laying a hand on my daughter!
We must find out where they are, NOW!!"
Ataru considered their options. He had to tell the
guys what had happened. He had a feeling that he was going
to need their help to free Lum from Graven's clutches. God
only knew what that little shithead was doing to her.
"Father-in-law!" he screamed, the answer suddenly in his
head. "We need to get to Mendou's estate! We'll find what
we need there!"
"Where is Mendou's?!" he snarled.
"Just look for the largest residence in Tokyo!" Ataru
said, unruffled. "You can't miss it!
A few minutes later, while waiting for a shuttle to
arrive to take them to the Mendou compound, a message came
in on the King's VidPhone. An Oni soldier appeared on the
screen. "We just received this message from home-world,
sir," he said to the King. "Benten from the Gods of Luck
has been reported as missing. What could this mean, sir?"
"I don't know, and at the moment I don't care. We have
a priority situation right now. Benten may be a friend of
my daughter's, but she takes a back burner to my missing
daughter." the King said tersely. "I'll be planetside for
awhile with my son-in law."
"Yes your majesty," the soldier replied. They broke
the link and sped onwards to the Oni shuttle, which was
landing in the street in front of Ataru's home.
<*>
Megane gazed over again to the beautiful woman
accompanying him to the social, thanking whatever divine
intervention responsible for sending her into his life.
After drying off from the shower, Oyuki put her kimono on
(her swimsuit was drenched in her cum, and therefore
unwearable). She then said that she had to get some clothes
from her place. With that, she disappeared into his closet,
promising to return as quickly as possible. He pulled his
blanket off of his bed and dropped it on the floor, clean
side down. His sheet was apparently untouched by their
messy thrashing, so he decided to lay his tux out on the
bed. He also managed to tidy up the room a bit before Oyuki
returned.
Less than half an hour later a cold breeze from
Megane's closet announced Oyuki's return. He looked over to
see her toting two large suitcases and a hanging bag. She
looked up to him, an embarrassed look on her face.
"I couldn't decide on what to wear, so I brought a few
choices," she offered by way of apology.
"That's okay, Oyuki-chan. I'm sure that you'll look
perfect in whatever you choose," he said sincerely.
Oyuki blushed slightly at the open compliment. "Thank
you, dear," she replied mockingly, curtsying before him.
Megane almost got a nosebleed watching her undress. He
jumped in surprise when she peeled her kimono off because
she still had no clothes on under the kimono. This time she
had no problems with displaying her naked body in front of
Megane. In fact it pleased her greatly that he stared so
openly at her lithe form.
Her breasts stood out firmly from her body, rising and
falling slowly with every breath. The small nipples of her
breasts stood out slightly from their puffy, pinkish
aureole. They looked odd to Megane when they weren't erect,
but he didn't complain in the least. He thought that the
proportion of her breasts set off well the shaped muscles of
her stomach. He traced the lines of her muscles down to the
delta of her sex, which was dry now.
The ruddy outer lips of her sex were pouting visibly
behind the wisps of bluish-gray hair. The hairs seemed to
part for him so that he could easily gaze at her enjoyable
womanhood. He gazed happily at the source of their mutual
ecstasy, but stopped before he lost control of himself. He
allowed his gaze to continue downward, taking in the long
length of her shapely legs. They moved in a hypnotic way as
she walked about the room. She turned around to set
something on the bed, putting her back to him and giving him
something else to stare at.
Her long bluish hair, which was usually held up by
something, cascaded freely from her head down to the small
of her back. The cheeks of her ass stood out proudly, and
wiggled seductively as she moved about to place things here
and there on the bed. She dropped a hanger on the floor,
and bent to pick it up. Megane gasped when she bent down at
the waist, exposing her ass and the lips of her vagina
again.
Unable to stop the inevitable nosebleed, he quickly
cleaned his face with his towel while she stood back up,
unaware of the effect her walking about was having on him.
Oyuki had finally made a decision on what to wear, and it
appeared that she'd chosen well. She had selected something
from her wardrobe that accentuated the outline of her
breasts and hips, but didn't make her appear tawdry.
Spellbound, he watched as she somehow managed to push her
curvaceous body into that dress, scooping her breasts into
the confining top as she pulled it up.
Megane's dressing was taking longer than it should
have. He was having a hard time fitting the trousers of his
tux over his boner. He had trouble concentrating on
dressing himself anyway. He knew that Oyuki wasn't wearing
anything whatsoever under that dress. In her haste to
return to Megane, she had forgotten to bring some underwear
with her from Neptune.
Megane put all of her other clothes in his closet, and
in the two drawers that he'd cleaned out for her while she
was doing her hair in the bathroom. With that done, he
completed dressing. Oyuki straightened Megane's bow tie,
and brushed his coat smooth with her hands. Megane smoothed
and straightened Oyuki's dress. He ran a finger along the
inside of the fabric, accidentally grazing her breasts and
nipples as he aligned her top. He saw her nipples go erect
under her dress fabric, and stopped himself before they both
wound up yanking their clothes off.
They both donned overcoats, looking like a well-to-do
and happy couple. As they prepared to leave his house,
Megane approached her from behind and wrapped his arms
around her, linking his hands together at her stomach to
form a loose embrace. He leaned his head towards hers, and
whispered, "I couldn't thank you enough for being with me,
Oyuki-chan."
Oyuki froze for a moment, then turned around smiling.
She took his hand in hers, and brought her lips to his ear,
whispering "I couldn't imagine being with anyone else but
you right now, Megane-kun."
The newfound couple kissed at the front door of his
home for a long while before they continued on their way to
the social. It was a lingering, loving kiss conveying
tenderness between the two.
It was only a short distance to Mendou's estate, so
they decided to walk together in the cool air.
Along the way, Megane tried to recall how they first
met. It had been a while back, and not too clear. It had
something to do with Ataru, but beyond that he couldn't
remember. "Oyuki-chan, do you remember the first time we
met?"
"Vaguely, it was a while ago." she replied. "I believe
it was the time that B-bo got out of control and attacked
Lum's fiancee." She kept the part about Ataru groping her
to herself. No sense getting her new love interest upset
over something that happened in the past. Ataru had already
been sufficiently dealt with by B-bo and Lum.
Something in Megane clicked, and he remembered
suddenly. "Now I recall. We didn't talk that much because
unfortunately you were preoccupied with Lum and Ataru at the
time. Myself and my friends were put on snow abatement
detail." Megane chuckled to himself, remembering the whole
thing now.
"Well, I can promise you a MUCH warmer reception from
now on, Megane-kun," the Snow Princess said with a smile on
her face, mirth evident in her eyes. She put an arm around
him and hugged him from the side as they walked, while
Megane tried to hide the substantial blush he'd acquired at
hearing her words.
Soon, they arrived at Mendou's estate. At the gate,
Megane flashed his admission ticket to the guard, put his
arm around Oyuki's slim waist and proudly proclaimed to the
dumbfounded guard, "Oyuki is accompanying me to the social."
Once inside, stunned glances from everyone that knew
him fell in his direction. Megane strode proudly towards
the building housing the banquet hall, his arm around Oyuki
who looked equally proud to be with him.
<*>
Mendou escorted Shinobu to Ryoko's room, and blushed as
he walked in. He was quite surprised to see his sister
laying on her bed, reading a Manga. He'd had no time to
warn Shinobu, and winced when she dashed into the room, and
halted directly in front of Ryoko.
Shinobu squealed in embarrassment, her hands whipping
up to cover her bra and crotch as she crouched to the floor.
"It's about time you two started messing around," Ryoko
declared with a wicked grin on her face as she saw Shinobu's
underwear clad body and the deep blush on her brother's
face.
Mendou frowned at the comment, but kept silent.
Shinobu groaned disgustedly, upset that they had been found
out not five minutes after completing the deed.
Seeing that she may have gone too far with that remark,
Ryoko reached out and placed her hand on Shinobu's shoulder.
"Hey, it's okay!" she said soothingly, getting out of her
bed and helping Shinobu back to her feet.
Ryoko looked at her brother sternly. "What'cha need in
here?"
He scratched his head again, sure he'd rub a bald spot
there if he kept it up much longer. "Well, Shinobu's dress
was ruined and I was wondering if she could borrow one of
yours," he said simply, not giving away anything.
Ryoko smiled knowingly at her brother and walked up to
him, cupping her hand at his ear. "Ripped her dress, huh?"
she purred softly. Mendou looked absolutely scandalized,
and he looked at his sister severely.
"RYOKO!" he shouted indignantly. "Could you help me
out, please?"
Ryoko giggled before flashing a stunning smile at him.
"Sure. I like Shinobu, anyway," she whispered before
trotting over to a nervous and shivering Shinobu.
She looked at Ryoko warily. "You won't tell anyone
about us, will you?" she asked apprehensively.
Ryoko looked at her in shock. "Of course not! Why
would I waste a bargaining chip this big?" she asked,
gesturing to her indignant brother.
Mendou blew his breath out in a sigh as he watched the
two ladies disappear behind the door of Ryoko's walk-in
closet. He sat on his sister's bed, and waited anxiously.
Moments passed before he heard the closet door open and
both girls giggling as they walked out. He gasped in shock
as he caught sight of the outfit Ryoko had chosen for
Shinobu.
It was tight! Shinobu was wearing a form-hugging black
dress which contrasted drastically with the frilly and
billowy one she had been wearing when she arrived at the
compound. The black satiny fabric outlined every inch of
her petite frame. Mendou found himself drooling as he
stared at her captivating body. Ryoko ignored the
passionate glances her brother and Shinobu were trading as
she walked up to him and handed him something.
"Here, you can keep this in your pocket. She couldn't
wear it with the dress," she said, shaking her head at her
brother's obvious lust. She turned from him and sat next to
him on her bed. Mendou looked down at his hand and saw
Shinobu's lace bra sitting there. He looked back at Shinobu
in shock, his mind and member both on the verge of
exploding.
Shinobu walked up to him, an expectant look on her
face. "Do you like it, Shutaro-kun?" she asked, posing in
front of him. He absently pocketed her bra in his pants,
and regarded her sinuous body.
"You look fantastic, Shinobu-chan!" he enthused. He
looked at the door to Ryoko's room and took Shinobu by the
hand. "Let's get back to the ball, then," he suggested.
Shinobu nodded and led the way out of Ryoko's room.
Mendou turned to his sister and nodded solemnly. "Thank
you, Ryoko."
Ryoko smiled rakishly, running a hand through her hair.
"We'll discuss it after the party, okay?" she asked with a
wink.
Mendou winced at the implications, but spared her only
a nod as he closed her door and hurried to catch up with
Shinobu. He caught up with her before she could make a
wrong turn, putting one of his arms around her bare
shoulders and holding her hand with the other. Hentai
thoughts dominated his mind, prompting him to look down
Shinobu's dress. He swallowed hard as he saw easily the
swell of her breasts as they were pressed in by the tight
fabric of Ryoko's dress. He could also see the upper rim of
her nipples, and that was prompting another erection in his
pants.
Shinobu felt his member rubbing against her thigh as
they occasionally bumped against each other. She smiled
inwardly, knowing that he *really* liked her in that dress.
She felt herself stirring in response to Mendou's sexual
longing, and wondered how well the dress would conceal her
nipples.
Not that well, if Mendou's reaction was any indication.
He could easily see two points push out the fabric of her
dress at her breasts, and called a halt. "Shinobu, we'd
better take a moment and calm down," he suggested, his hand
touching her nipples through the fabric to illustrate his
point.
Swallowing hard, she nodded her agreement. He held
onto her as they stood in the middle of the corridor.
Several silent minutes went by before Mendou's member had
returned to its flaccid state, and Shinobu's nipples
disappeared from view. Satisfied that they weren't
broadcasting their lust anymore, he led her the short
distance remaining from their position to the party.
Nobody seemed to notice them walk in as they entered
the ballroom, which was good because they were both still a
bit flushed. Composing himself, Mendou took Shinobu's hand
in his own, kissed her lightly on the lips, and guided her
to the dance floor.
Shinobu was a picture of grace as she moved fluidly on
the dance floor, following the lead of her new love
interest. She and Mendou's dancing encouraged the crowd to
begin dancing in earnest, and so they did for a while.
During a slow song, Shinobu lay her head against
Mendou's chest and watched some of the other dancing
couples. For a few moments, she didn't pay attention to
what she was seeing until one of the couples caught her eye.
"Shutaro-kun, look over there. Doesn't that look like
Megane?" she asked, pointing off to her left.
Mendou looked over in the direction she indicated and
got the shock of his life. It WAS Megane. He shared his
lover's shocked expression when he saw that a woman was with
him, WILLINGLY? The woman was absolutely stunning in her
curve-hugging dress. She was almost enough to distract
Mendou from Shinobu. However the only question Mendou had
for the beautiful woman was to ask her how much Megane paid
her to accompany him to the social. Curiosity getting the
better of him, Mendou's dance steps started guiding he and
Shinobu in Megane's direction.
It wasn't too long before he was close enough for them
to see who Megane was with. He didn't readily recognize
her, but Shinobu's startled gasp indicated that she did.
"Shutaro-kun, that's Lum's friend Oyuki," Shinobu
hissed, in shock.
"I've heard the name, but I don't recall her clearly,"
Mendou replied sotto voce.
"She's the Snow Princess of Neptune. I met her early
on in Ataru's relationship with Lum. I don't understand
what she's doing here, and why she's with Megane. I thought
he was insane over Lum. Something earth shattering must've
happened to him if he was able to choose Oyuki over Lum. I
wonder what happened... ," Shinobu queried, honestly
curious.
Mendou looked in Megane's direction again. Megane was
oblivious to the world around him. His arms were wrapped
around Oyuki's body and he was sporting a silly grin.
Oyuki, on the other hand, had a contented smile on her face,
her head resting against Megane's chest and her arms around
him.
Deciding that miracles were still possible, Shinobu and
Mendou changed their course on the dance floor again. They
brought their attention back to themselves, remembering how
much joy they felt just by being with each other.
Later on, Mendou noticed that several men were aiming
jealous glares at him as he and Shinobu traipsed across the
dance floor, obviously in love. Women were also glaring in
Shinobu's direction with a venomous look. He took that as a
cue to leave the dance floor for a rest.
"Ah, Shinobu. You dance beautifully, and you still
look radiant after all this dancing. But surely you must be
tired after all we've done. Perhaps a moment's rest?" he
ventured, with her still in his arms as they wandered the
dance floor.
"Yes, Shutaro. I am getting a little winded," she
replied cheerily as she guided him towards the refreshment
table.
The glares disappeared with the couple, and the mood on
the floor lightened. Moments later, Mendou's own mood
darkened slightly as a courier from his staff approached him
at the refreshment table. Only a stupid courier or an
emergency would interrupt him while he was entertaining
guests. He chose the latter of the two options and turned
to Shinobu. Placing an arm around her supple waist, he bent
down to her and nuzzled her neck. As he did so, he
whispered in her ear, "Shinobu, I'll be right back. I have
to take care of something."
"Yes dear, I'll be waiting here for you," she replied,
stroking his face and kissing him deeply on the lips before
he left.
As Mendou walked away, someone else called for her
attention.
"Shinobu?"
She turned to see Megane and Oyuki together, arm in
arm. "Megane!" she said, a warm smile forming on her face.
It didn't escape her that they looked to her the way she
expected Mendou and herself looked to others. "Glad to see
you could make it to the social." She turned to Oyuki and
bowed slightly, saying, "It's been awhile, Your Highness.
Good to see you're enjoying yourself."
"Thank you, Shinobu. But please, call me Oyuki.
Megane was kind enough to invite me to this event after we
ummm... ... met." Oyuki blushed slightly as she remembered
the way they `met.' Megane, meanwhile was blushing
furiously, and seemed to have trouble walking all of a
sudden.
Shinobu cast a puzzled glance at Megane's behavior, but
decided not to pursue the matter. "Well, Oyuki. How's
everything going with Lum? I haven't heard from her in
awhile."
Oyuki's face took on a more serious tone. "Well,
Shinobu, apparently Lum's been ignoring her family for some
time now. She hasn't been in touch with myself or any of
her other friends for that matter. Frankly we're all
worried. So I took it upon myself to pay Lum a visit to see
exactly what was going on. I worry about her, especially
now since she's paired herself with Ataru Moroboshi."
"Well, knowing Ataru, he's probably chasing other women
and making Lum's life miserable," Shinobu replied. With a
start, she realized that she didn't really care all that
much that Ataru was chasing other women. That thought alone
comforted her. She knew right then that she'd made the
right choice with Mendou.
Megane, who'd managed to calm his raging hormones
enough to stand erect again, added to the conversation. "I
agree. Ataru's disrespectful behavior towards Lum has not
waned. It has irked the Stormtroopers greatly that he
continually dishonors her so." Megane looked over to Oyuki
and took her hand. "But I'm afraid that my priorities have
changed, thanks to Oyuki-chan. I'll no longer be holding a
constant vigil for Lum." He then reached over and grabbed a
cup of punch from the table and started sipping.
Shinobu's eyes were wide at his declaration. "Woah!
Oyuki, you seem to have made quite an impression on Megane
for him to forsake Lum like that."
Oyuki had a sly grin on her face when she replied.
"Well, you could say that Megane surprised me with his
appearance when we met. But it wasn't long after that when
I applied my skills in oral argument to convince him that we
were perfect for each other."
Megane, who had been blushing deeper and deeper shades
of red as she spoke, spewed his mouthful of punch to the
floor at her mention of `oral.' He tried to cover it by
sneezing. Oyuki nudged him with her hip, giggling behind
her hand.
Shinobu, who understood the hidden meaning, turned beet
red and started chuckling herself.
<*>
Meanwhile Mendou made it over to the awaiting courier.
"Report," he said simply.
The courier bowed slightly and responded with "Sir, the
observation deck reports the following: `A strange flash of
light and an explosion, followed by irregularities in the
gravitational field.'"
A concerned Mendou replied, "The same sort of thing
happened one year ago. You know what happened then, don't
you?"
It was a rhetorical question, but the courier answered
anyway. "That's when the Oni ship arrived!"
Mendou and the courier both made for the exit, with
Mendou saying, "Better check it out."
<*>
It was bedlam inside the command module of Mendou's
observation deck. Personnel were scrambling around
acknowledging beeps and flashing lights from consoles,
retrieving printouts, or answering phones and monitoring
comm chatter.
Mendou walked in shouting, "Report!"
"Yessir. An object is approaching the compound from
low altitude at a high speed. Point of origin appears to be
the Moroboshi residence."
A dark skinned young woman in a tech's uniform turned
from her duty station. "Sir! Every system in the center is
starting up. The defense system has activated the main
missile batteries to fire!"
Another female tech with long, sandy blonde hair
shouted quickly, "Shut down all defense systems!"
"We can't hail them! What'll we do?" the first tech
asked frantically.
"Calm down people!" Mendou commanded. He gestured to
one of the techs and said, "You! Try scanning the
frequencies used by Lum's spaceship. Perhaps that's why we
haven't heard from the ship," Mendou said calmly.
Static filled the room for a moment until a familiar
voice was heard. "...s the royal shuttle "Tiger's Paw"
hailing the commander of the Mendou compound. Stand down
your weapons! Repeat, stand down your weapons! We request
landing instructions. Can you hear us?"
`What the hell is Ataru doing on an Oni-vessel? He's
probably trying to use it to crash the social. But better
to be safe,' Mendou thought to himself. Aloud he said,
"Stand down the defense batteries. Transmit coordinates for
the nearest landing strip, and have an armed force standing
by when it lands!"
A chorus of `Yessirs' met him as they bent to their
tasks. Mendou turned to leave the center.
<*>
Mendou returned to the social long enough to pick up
Shinobu and fill her in on what had happened.
"I don't know Shutaro-kun. Ataru's enough of a baka to
think of crashing a party like this. But if he's in an Oni
ship, he'd need Lum's consent, wouldn't he?" she said.
"Perhaps you are correct. In any event, we need to be
there when the ship..." Mendou began. His words were
drowned out by a mechanical roar that shook the whole
building. An instant later, the roof of the banquet hall
began to creak. "Evacuate the building!" Mendou shouted to
one of his guards, and instantly the building began
disgorging harried party-goers. Satisfied that everyone was
going to get out safely, Mendou located Shinobu with Oyuki
and Megane in the crowd and, hand in hand, each couple made
for the nearby landing field.
Moments later the four arrived on site to see armed
guards holding back some angry party-goers from Ataru and a
hulking man in a tiger-striped suit. Many of those people
were hurling epithets at Ataru, blaming him for the
interruption of their enjoyment.
"Woah! I didn't crash this party without a reason.
Besides, I'm the life of most parties! You should be glad
I'm here!" he shouted back.
A hastily improvised lynch-mob of angry guests and
armed security guards approached him menacingly. Ataru's
hands went up defensively. He back-pedaled from the crowd
until his back was against one of the landing struts of the
spaceship. Ataru screamed back. "HEY!! THIS IS IMPORTANT!"
"GET TO THE POINT!!!!!!!!!!!" the angry crowd bellowed
in his direction.
Unable to speak after that last verbal onslaught, Ataru
collapsed to the ground. The King, who had been silent up
to this point, addressed the crowd. "I apologize for this
interruption, and the damage to the building, but I require
your assistance. You see, my daughter Lum is missing."

Minutes later in the observation deck, Mendou was on
the phone talking to one of his remote agents. A concerned
look made itself plain on his face as his phone conversation
concluded with, "...nothing? Then keep searching and call
back later with a progress report." As he hung up the
phone, he sighed and put his hands on Shinobu's shoulders.
She'd stayed with him once word of Lum's disappearance was
known, lending support to the search, and to him personally.
He bent down and kissed her on the lips. "You didn't have
to get involved, Shinobu. I appreciate your assistance, and
your presence."
"I may have had my problems with Ataru and Lum in the
past, but I am capable of shelving my anger in times of
crisis, Shutaro-kun." she replied, putting her hands on his
as she turned back to the unnecessarily large operations
console of Mendou's command center.
A moment later an attendant approached Mendou and
bowed.
"Yes, what is it Reeves?" Mendou responded.
"I have the final damage report for you, sir."
Shutaro guessed as much, and rubbing Shinobu's arms
delicately, asked Reeves to read it out.
"Yessir. The shockwave generated by the landing of the
Oni shuttlecraft was the only source of damage. 10,000
windows were shattered. The roof of the banquet hall was
slightly damaged, but the structure is still sound enough
for occupancy. Three guests were injured, but not
seriously. We were able to ascertain their identities for
insurance purposes."
"Is there anything else?" he managed to say at length.
"Just that Mr. Moroboshi has regained consciousness."
"Very well, Reeves. Please keep me informed of any
further developments in the compound. I'll be here
continuing the search for Lum. Also, get a crew in here to
move ops from here to the banquet hall. We'll need the room
for Lum's father and his equipment."
"Yessir," Reeves responded before departing.

Ataru had recovered from the audio shockwave that
rendered him unconscious, and was now sitting in a chair
feeling dejected. The source of his dejection was all of
the unknowns concerning Lum's disappearance. Her absence
stabbed at his heart, and THAT was something that he wasn't
expecting to feel. Where was she? Was she okay? Why was
he worried about her in the first place? Right after
awakening, Ataru was told that the King's forces had
dispatched a ship to Graven's home-world, but they reported
back that no-one other than the civilian populace was found
there.
He shot a despondent glance over to the King, who was
in the process of coordinating Oni intelligence with the far
flung resources of Mendou's defense force. Ataru shifted
his gaze over to Mendou, and saw him talking on the phone.
What happened next curled his toes and set his brain on
fire. `THAT BASTARD JUST KISSED SHINOBU!'
Ataru bolted up from his chair, ready to strangle the
life out of Mendou when a voice spoke inside his head. `Who
do *you* love, Ataru?' Cherry's question from earlier
repeated itself in his head, cutting through most of his
anger. He sat back down and sighed to himself, still unable
to answer that question. No-one had apparently noticed his
angry response to the kiss shared by Mendou and Shinobu, and
for that he was grateful.
He was brooding over the general status of his life
when he received the next shock of the night. He saw Megane
holding hands with and trying to comfort an obviously
worried girl. He recognized her, but couldn't remember
where he met her. Then he realized with a start that Megane
was with Lum's kawaii babe of a friend from Uranus, or
something. `Woah, if Megane can net a babe like what's-her-
face there, then I should be able to get any girl I want!
Wonder why my life isn't turning out as logically as
that...' he mused to himself. He was brought out of his
deep concentration when he heard someone call his name. He
looked in the direction of the voice and saw Lum's father
gesturing him over. Ataru rose and jogged over to him.
"Yes, what is it Father-in-law?" he asked as he arrived next
to the King.
"It looks grim, son-in-law. Our forces have been
spread thin hunting across all of known Oni-settled space to
no avail. We're also hunting across the rim of Oni-
territory, but that will take weeks to accomplish. How's
Mendou doing on his end?"
Ataru shot a sour look Mendou's way before responding.
"I guess that he's got things well in hand. Although it
doesn't look like he's come up with any answers either."
"Tell Mendou to employ outside forces if necessary.
She may still be on this planet," the King commanded. But
before Ataru could run off, the King stopped him. "Hey, son-
in-law, have faith! We'll find Lum. I know you miss her as
much as I do."
Those words tore through Ataru's mind as soon as they
were spoken, slashing at the fog that had been clouding his
judgment for so long. Thoughts in his mind seemed to clear
a little bit, as he continued to sort things out. He knew
he had to rescue Lum, but his reasons for doing so were
still elusive. He shrugged his shoulders slightly and
forced the argument from his mind as he padded on over to
Mendou's location.
Ataru looked to Mendou and spoke, "Lum's dad thinks we
should call in supplemental forces."
"Has he no faith in my resources?" Mendou retorted
hotly.
Shinobu responded before Ataru did. "Shutaro-kun, I
don't think that his highness meant anything by those
remarks. Remember, his daughter is the one that's missing."
"As usual, you are right Shinobu-chan," he responded.
He took her hands in his as he turned to address Ataru.
Unseen by either, Ataru winced when the handhold took place.
"Ataru, please inform Lum's father that I will exert my
forces to their fullest ability. We'll find her for him,"
he said, trying to sound confident.
Ataru nodded, saying nothing, and stormed off in the
King's direction.
"Geez, he's taking this harder than I thought," Shinobu
said. Mendou didn't respond immediately, but instead stood
behind her and wrapped his arms around her in an embrace.
At length, he responded, "Yeah, but what's he finding hard
to take? Lum's disappearance, or my love for you Shinobu?"
"Good question, Shutaro-kun," she replied, wondering
which one it was.
<*>
Megane was in a difficult position. He still felt his
calling as a Stormtrooper, but he damn well wasn't walking
away from Oyuki. The poor girl was on the verge of tears,
and it was all he could do to keep himself from smothering
her with his attention. He was about to go out of his mind
so he decided to comfort both himself and her by talking to
her. "Oyuki-chan, I'm sure it's going to be okay. Mendou
and Lum's father are working on the situation..."
"I fear that is not so, Megane-kun. If Lum's father is
asking for assistance, something could be terribly wrong."
She clenched tightly to Megane's arm, drawing comfort from
his presence.
Megane kissed Oyuki on the head, and held her in his
arms. She sobbed slightly as she ran through several
possible outcomes for Lum, none of them pleasant. Megane
nodded his head down and grazed her ear with his lips. In a
low voice he said, "Maybe we should talk with him. If you
pooled resources, you may be able to help him locate her."
Oyuki looked up at him. Her eyes were red and rimmed
with tears over her concern for Lum's safety. Megane wiped
a stray tear from her cheek, letting his hand hover under
her chin. She smiled, thinking Megane's suggestion a good
idea. She told him so, and suggested that they walk
together and speak with His Majesty. Megane stood and
helped Oyuki to her feet. Once standing, he put an arm
around her protectively, telling her that he'd be there for
her if she needed anything.
They walked quickly to the King's location in the
ballroom. Oyuki struck a regal pose, but worry was still
evident in her eyes. She addressed him, "Good evening, Your
Majesty. How goes the search?"
"Princess Oyuki! What are you doing here? Well,
regardless of why, it is comforting to see a friend of
Lum's!" he said, putting a hand the size of a basting turkey
on her delicate shoulder. "Hey, that guy isn't bothering
you, is he?" he said, eyeing Megane suspiciously.
Oyuki was quick to posture herself between the King and
Megane. "No, Your Majesty. Megane-kun is with me. You
see, he's my ...," she said, struggling for the proper way
to say it. " ...my ... my fiancee," she said finally, sure
with herself of what she was saying.
"Well, remind me to congratulate you properly once this
is all over," the King replied, bending back to his console.
"What do you know so far, sir?" Megane asked after
getting over Oyuki's roundabout marriage proposal.
"I guess no harm will be done if I tell you. Ataru and
I believe that she's been abducted by a group of men known
as `ShadowKnights.' " Megane caught the sharp gasp from
Oyuki at the mention of ShadowKnights, and knew right away
that Lum was in deep trouble.
"What's a ShadowKnight?" Megane asked, wondering why it
evoked such a reaction from Oyuki.
The King looked stonily at the console, his effort to
keep his anger in check being quite visible, before turning
to face him. "It's a very bad thing, Megane. And it has my
daughter."
