  "Oh, come on, ronin," Kitsune needled, smirking. "You really ARE slow. 
Think it through, man!"
  "..." Keitaro just stared at her for long moments. Then, without a 
shift in his befuddled expression, he raised a hand and pointed at her. 
"... You're the devil?"
  "Yup!" Kitsune confirmed cheerfully. "Satan, Beelzebub, Old Scrotch, 

       ITYM "Old Sractch."  Although "Scrotch" certainly is... evocative, 
looked at from the properly skewed angle....

the Serpent, Lucifer, Light of God, the Serpent in the Garden..." She 
trailed off, then raised an eyebrow. "You're surprised?"
  "... Now that you mention it, not really."

       You know... Neither am I.  It explains so much.

  "Right! So here's the deal, bucko!" Kitsune thrust the paper towards 
Keitaro. "You get into Tokyo U., and as a bonus, I'll make sure you and 
Naru wind up together!" Seeing Keitaro's eyes widen, she smirked 
broader. "Thought you'd like that. Anyway, the deal is, after you 
graduate, you do the vocation *I* tell you to, and do it the way *I* 
tell you to!"
  "But-" Keitaro began to protest.
  "Consider who you want to marry, and the fact that you'll be having 
your every move dictated by a woman as it is."
  "... When you put it that way, you've got a deal."

       Now, see, if Keitaro were a good Christian boy, he'd know better than 
this.  Yup, yup, yup!
       But then, this story wouldn't be nearly so funny.  Even if Keitaro 
yelling "Get thee behind me, Mitsune!" *would* be kind of neat...

  "Yup! And you even get to use your artistic talents. You see, I'm 
sending you to America to do a webcomic."
  "A webcomic?!"
  "Yes. It will become an insanely popular webcomic, too! MILLIONS will 
read about your sweet little innocent girls!"
  Keitaro just stared for long moments. It seemed odd... but not bad! 
Slowly, he rose to his feet. "Er, so... what do you get out of it?"
  Kitsune grinned... her most wicked grin to date.
  "I control when you update."

       Oh... my.... GHOD.  That is PURE EVIL!  Truly, Satan has moved into 
the 21st century with a vengeance!
