Oni You

This one is kind of romantic actually. Might not be updating over the weekend, but shall try. Blame the computer hogging hubby.

Finally decided what to do with Kuno, I couldn't think of any character who would want to touch him with a ten foot pole. Couldn't have poor Ranko have to do him.

******

Mousse was getting dressed that morning and frowned to remember a conversation from the day before.

Flashback

Mousse was helping Akane and Kasumi hang the laundry. As Ranma wasn’t around they felt free to talk. Akane had been brought into the fold and been told about the oni, she knew about Kasumi and Mousse and didn’t seem to mind. Both females had agreed with Mousse that they should keep from Ranma, the fact that Mousse had both their firsts as he wouldn’t be able to handle it. Best he believes that Kasumi’s was Dr. Tofu and Akane’s was Ranma. However, Ranma had insisted on telling Akane about Mousse and himself; her reaction was not what they had expected. Rather then a look of distaste or horror, they received “cool!” along with a request that they repeat the performance so that she could watch it, first as male and female, then as male and male. Both boys had declined with glowing red faces. Mousse still suspected that he was going to have to coax the traumatized Ranko into his bed to prove to her the sex between a man and a woman felt good and didn’t hurt as she remembered. Oddly enough Mousse didn’t mind this idea.

“Mousse, what about Nabiki?” Kasumi asked.

“What about her?” he replied.

“Well, aren’t you afraid that she’ll be offered as the next sacrifice?” Kasumi asked..

Mousse thought about the huge pile of condoms and said “I don’t think we have to worry about her. Where do you think I found all the condoms?” he answered.

Akane looked at him “are you sure? She’s never had a boyfriend and I doubt that she’s ever even kissed at man”

“Shit” was all that Mousse could reply. He pulled out his list and rewrote her name with a question mark beside it.

End Flashback

Mousse went down to join the others; breakfast at the Tendo house was much different now. The fathers were still away on a training trip, allowed the transformed teens to relax and be themselves. Kasumi was reading a bridal magazine and wearing a fetching outfit of black knee socks, a straight red skirt that ended just above her knees, a black satin crinkle halter and a red blazer. Akane sat on Ranma’s lap while they shared their breakfasts and traded kisses. Mousse’s eyes were particularly blurry that day so he pulled off his glasses and could see perfectly! The others turned welcoming smiles on him and then started to frown when he kept on staring at them with a besotted expression on his face. Mousse wondered if Kasumi knew that the tips of her eyelashes glowed golden in the morning light. He wondered if Ranma knew that his slate blue eyes held green flecks. He also wondered if Akane knew that she got the cutest dimple on her left cheek when she smiled. He kept on staring at them until they looked uneasy, and then he repeated his observations out loud and told them about his miraculous cure. His friends were happy for him and hugging ensued.

Once they calmed down he asked “so does everyone here think that Nabiki’s a virgin?”

“I couldn’t see her being anything but” Akane replied. “I’ve never seen her even look at a guy for any reason, other then to try and figure out how much money she can make off of him”

“Was there any guy who might have interested her?” Mousse asked, thinking about the condoms.


Kasumi looked up “she spent a great deal of time with that Kuno fellow” she observed. Everyone quietly pictured the Kendo clad rich boy, though Ranma and Akane added the groping hands that the others didn’t know about so well.

“I seriously doubt she’s slept with him” Akane replied, rejecting the notion.

“I don’t know; there seemed to be something between them” Ranma said. “I mean they were always hanging out and seemed to be very comfortable together”

Mousse felt a light bulb go off over his head “wait I have him on my list of possible male virgins. What if we arrange little alone time for them and see what happens? It would work out well if two possible virgins took care of each other” he said shrewdly.

“Why would they do that?” asked Akane.

“Well, the boy‘s weird, there’s no denying that. But he’s also very attractive and perhaps Nabiki noticed that” Mousse reasoned. “I’m just suggesting that we invite him over for dinner to see his old friend and all of us happen to be absent when he arrives. Then we leave them alone together and see what develops”

“You want me to cook for a Kuno!” Kasumi said in a startled voice. “I hear they have a French chef employed fulltime. It would like the inviting the Queen of England to dinner”

“Kasumi, he’s a teenaged boy being invited to the home of three noted beauties. He’s not going to care what he eats, you could serve him dog food and I doubt he would notice” Mousse pointed out reasonably.

“I guess so” she said in a hesitant voice.

“It could work; I have no objection to Kuno coming for dinner if I’m not here” Akane said.

“Nor me” Ranma seconded.

“Kasumi want to make the call?” Mousse asked with a mischievous smile.

Kasumi dialed the phone and asked for Tatewaki “hello, Kuno-kun, I’m Nabiki’s sister, Kasumi Tendo. I apologize for the short notice, but Nabiki’s coming home from college for a week and I was wondering if you would care to come to dinner tomorrow night? I thought it would be fun to invite some of her friends over. You will? That’s wonderful. Is six o’clock okay? No you don’t have to dress up. Thank you Kuno-kun we look forward to seeing you” she said excitedly and hung up. Then Kasumi reverted back to being her new worldly self and said “the fish took the bait and is wiggling on the hook; we just need to reel him in”

“So what are everyone’s plans for tomorrow night?” Mousse asked.

“Akane and I are grabbing a quick bite to eat and then going to see the new horror movie that just came out” Ranma announced.

“Horror movie?” Akane asked turning white.

“Don’t worry, you can cling to me when you get scared” Ranma assured her with a wolfish grin.

“Baka” she replied, but didn’t object to the plans.

“I’m having a private dinner at Dr. Tofu’s house” Kasumi announced with a gleam in her eye. Then they looked at Mousse and realized he had nowhere to go.

“You can come with us” Ranma offered.

“Or you can join us for dinner” Kasumi asked.

Mousse was touched that his friends were willing to give up their cuddling or sex time to make sure he had something to do. “It’s okay, you guys go ahead. I’ll think of something” he assured him.

Nabiki opened the door and said “knock, knock” causing Akane to scrabble frantically
off Ranma’s lap and have a seat in her usual place. Both teens hurriedly straightened their clothes. “Welcome home Nabiki” they all said at once.

“Hi, I’m not sure you remember me. My name is Mousse” Mousse introduced himself.

“You’re that Chinese guy that tried to turn Akane into a duck” Nabiki stated.

Mousse blushed “it was plain water” he said defensively.

“It’s okay, I’ve forgiven him. He’s our houseguest. He’s been staying in your room” Akane explained.

Nabiki regarded the handsome boy “Is he still going to stay in there with me?” she asked.

Mousse blushed even darker “no I’m staying in Ranma’s room” he assured her.

“Too bad, you’re kind of cute and I like your accent” Nabiki answered, enjoying putting him on the spot.

“Can I help you with your luggage?” Mousse asked to change the subject.

“Of course you can” she replied and followed when he picked her suitcases up effortlessly and carried them to her room. He set them down and then tried to test the waters “Tendo-san, I have something to tell you. I found your condoms and pictures under a floorboard. I’m embarrassed to admit that I’ve been using your condoms. I’ve kept a running tally and will replace them” he offered.

“Well, stud muffin. Use as many as you want, they’re of no use to me” she stated.

“Do you use another method of birth control?” Mousse questioned.

“Well that’s a rather impertinent question. Actually yes, the safest one in this world; chastity” she replied.

“You’re a virgin?” Mousse asked.

“I don’t understand the relevance of these questions, but yes” she said feeling a little annoyed by the encounter. “Why are you planning to seduce me?” she asked.

“No, I was just curious. I never meant to offend” he assured her. “I was just wondering about all the condoms”

“A friend gave me them as a joke, her brother works in a factory that makes them” she explained. “Does that answer your question?”

“It certainly does” Mousse said with a friendly smile.

Shampoo

Shampoo was exhausted after just a short bike and almost hit a pedestrian “watch where go!” she snapped.

“Perhaps you should watch where you’re biking” Kuno snapped back.

Shampoo regarded the tall figure walking away from her “cute man, stupid clothes and wooden sword look plain dumb” she mused softly. “Wonder how get women dressed like that?” Tatewaki Kuno reminded Shampoo of the crazy people that were relocated to huts on the outskirts of her village with a caretaker appointed for them. Yet in Japan they seemed to let them roam free. Then a thought struck her, there was no way that he could get a girl acting so nuts. He was a virgin!

That night when the oni came to her, she said “new sacrifice is male virgin, he guarantee be virgin. Male Kuno, you take?” she offered.

“Male life force is a lot stronger then female. Very well, I shall see if he will suit my needs. If not, I shall be back for yours” it intoned into her mind and vanished. Shampoo smiled in satisfaction; there was no way she was wrong this time.

Nabiki

Nabiki was rather offended that no one was having dinner with her for her second night in town. “Sorry, I’m having dinner with Dr. Tofu and Akane and Ranma are going to see a movie and Mousse is meeting a friend. I left you plenty of food ready; it’s warming in the oven. You just have to serve yourself, the table’s already set” Kasumi had explained before she hurriedly rushed out the door. Everyone else departed soon after, leaving Nabiki alone and feeling rather down. When there was a knock at the door, she assumed that someone had forgotten something and went to open it. Her eyes grew wide at who stood on her doorstep “Kuno?” she said in surprised.

“Hello Nabiki Tendo, did I startle you? Perhaps no one told you I was coming for dinner?” he said and wondered where the others were.

“No, as far as I knew I was having dinner by myself tonight” she replied.

Kuno frowned “I’m sorry; I thought it was your sister Kasumi who called me. Perhaps someone’s playing a joke? I’ll leave then, you shouldn't be alone with a male; I certainly wouldn’t want to ruin your reputation”

She opened the door “my reputation’s already shot. Come have dinner with me, you’re already here and my sister always makes way too much” she said persuasively.

He hesitated “you’re sure?”

“Of course, I hate eating alone” she replied.

He walked into the house and handed her a bouquet of roses and a bottle of wine “the flowers were intended for the lady of the house and the wine was for your father” he explained.

“You’re not wearing your Kendo uniform” Nabiki observed. He was wearing a grey suit, with a black dress shirt and a blue tie. “You look nice” she said.

“I couldn’t very well show up for dinner at someone’s house dressed in my uniform, that’d be tacky” he said with a shy smile.

“You’ve grown taller” she said.

“I’m shooting up like a weed” he replied, rubbing the back of his head in shyness. “You’ve grown your hair and dyed it, it looks nice” he said. Her hair was now past her shoulders and dyed auburn.

She blushed “I’m glad you like it, I thought it might be too drastic a change”

“I like it” he proclaimed.

She held up the bottle of wine “I don’t normally drink, but would you like to open this, seeing there’s no one here to object and neither one of us is driving?” she asked.

“I usually don’t drink either with my training, but why not?” he said. “Here let me open it” he suggested and she handed him the corkscrew.

He poured them each a glass and handed one to her. She took a sip of the warm velvety liquid and moaned in appreciation “tastes expensive” she commented.

“It isn’t cheap” he replied.

“It’s too good for my family” she commented.

He frowned “I don’t discriminate; I wouldn’t insult your family by bringing cheap wine. I bring the same wine to every occasion that I’m invited to” he explained.

Nabiki looked at her house through the rich boy’s eyes for the first time and saw the badly patched holes in the walls and the shabbiness of the furniture. Suddenly she felt self-conscious. “I guess this place sure isn’t what you’re used to?” she commented

Kuno glanced around “it’s not so bad, it could use some paint and the work of a skilled carpenter or twenty” he joked. Nabiki laughed, feeling better.

“Well, if you’re dressed for dinner, I want to also” she said.

“No problem, I’ll plate up the food” Kuno volunteered. “Yes, I can do such things. I have the necessary skills, I even know how to make toast” he said to her skeptical look.
He found the table already set for two and took the plates to the kitchen and pulled the food from the oven. He was impressed by how good it smelled and arranged generous portions for both people and placed them on the table. He picked up his wine glass and took a sip while he waited for Nabiki return. He glanced up and nearly dropped his glass. She wore a deep burgundy halter dress that almost matched his wine; it tied at the neck, it was low backed and had slit over her left leg on the long skirt. She looked both alluring and demure at the same time. “Well?” she asked the gaping boy.

“You look lovely” he exclaimed. She smiled and took her seat; he took the seat opposite her. Kuno barely remembered what they ate; though he was sure it tasted good. He was too busy watching Nabiki. He had always thought her attractive, but now she looked positively beautiful. He enjoyed her smile, her laugh and her tendency to touch his shoulder when she talked to him. He was intoxicated by her. Once their meal was over, was they carried their wine to the living room.

“So how’s life in America?” he asked her. Nabiki had been granted early graduation as she had been accepted into a special college scholarship program in America. It lasted for twelve months and would allow her to graduate a year early with her degree. He was startled when her eyes filled with tears.

“I hate it, I like the program but I’m lonely. I can barely speak the language and haven’t made a single friend. I’m younger then all of them so I can’t even attend most of the college events because you have to be of legal age to go. I can’t afford to come home for every holiday, so I normally spend them alone in my shitty apartment. I used to make fun of the foreigner trying to order food in the cafeteria and now I am her! I’m so used to being popular and making witty comments and now I have no one to talk to.” she said, admitting out loud for the first time her feelings of isolation. She didn’t know why she was telling this to Kuno and expected him to mock her. Instead he pulled her onto his lap and drew her into a hug. She looked up at him warily, and then sobbed against him. He placed his chin on top of her head and let her cry it out, he was disturbed by this. He had never even seen her upset before.

“I’m okay” she said pulling away and wiping the last of her tears away. She was surprised when strong but gentle, calloused hands cupped her face and Kuno leaned forward to kiss her. Nabiki’s eyes went wide, as she had never kissed anyone before, but kissed him back. She was surprised at good it felt kissing him, it was thrilling yet felt natural at the same time. She moaned and deepened it; she could feel his erection and felt a thrill of fear mixed with desire and yearned to make love for the first time in her life. Wordlessly she led him into her bedroom; they undressed themselves and stood naked before each other. Nabiki’s mouth went dry at the strongly built herculean body before her. She felt a little shy when he picked her up and placed her on the bed, as delicately as if she was made of spun glass. “I’m a virgin” she whispered.

“So am I” he whispered back. Nabiki had always thought that Kuno would be a rough and clumsy lover, yet his touch was gentle and sure. He slowly ignited a fire inside her and then brought it to blaze. She mewed when he entered her for the first time; he whispered sweet nothings to sooth her. They moved together in a timeless rhythm until they reach the pinnacle together, crying out each other’s name. He held her close. “Would it help if I came to visit you on the holidays?” he asked.

“You would do that for me?” she asked.

“Of course” he replied, stroking her back.

“My place is about the size of one of your closet and the bed folds up into the wall” she warned.

“Is the bed big enough for two?” he asked.

“Yes” she said.

“Then there’s no problem” he assured her. He hesitated “I feel awful about having to run so soon after we just made love, but I’m concerned that your family might catch us. Perhaps I should go?” he suggested

Nabiki felt sad “sure, go ahead” she said in a resigned tone of voice.

“I hope that you don’t think this an odd question, but I’ve heard things about this family. Does this mean we’re engaged? Not that I would mind!” he added hastily.

Nabiki laughed “that only applies to Ranma and Akane as they’re the dojo heirs. Though I do expect that there would be a shotgun wedding if Daddy was here right now” she replied in amusement, then the last part of what he said trickled into her brain. “What do you mean that you wouldn’t mind?”

Kuno gave her a sheepish smile “it just kind of slipped out”

“Well, I would mind. I intend to test drive a lot of cars before I buy” Nabiki said.

Kuno frowned at that statement, but said nothing and pulled on his clothes. Nabiki also got dressed and walked him to the door. “Thanks for everything, if I knew that sex felt so amazing, I would have done it a long time ago”

“Yes we should have” he said shrewdly and pulled her into a kiss. “Nabiki, can I take you to dinner tomorrow?”

She laughed “most people usually go on the date first before they have sex” she pointed out.

“Does that mean no?” he asked a little sadly.

“No that means yes” she replied. They went out for dinner that night and spent every other night after that together until she had to go back. Her family didn’t realize that the limousine that came to pick her up to take her to the airport belonged to the Kuno family. Kuno kissed her goodbye before she left.

“Goodbye Nabiki, I’ll see you in a month for American thanksgiving” he assured her.

“Goodbye Kuno” she said, staring up into his handsome face. “I’ll see you soon.” They announced her flight was boarding.

“Call me anytime you feel lonely” he ordered her.

“I promise. I have to go” she said reluctantly and presented her boarding pass to the flight attendant. He watched her slender figure depart and felt sad that she was leaving. He turned to go. “Kuno” she called after him, he turned to face her. “I’ll miss you” she cried.

“I’ll miss you too” he called back and watched until her flight departed for America ‘you never know what you have until it’s gone’ he thought sadly.

Mousse

Mousse was glad to get back to the Tendo residence. He took one look at Nabiki and mentally crossed two names off the list. He only hung out with the others briefly and then sat on the roof alone. While the three lovers had spent the evening in the arms of their heart’s desire; Mousse had spent it in a twenty four hour coffee shop reading a murder mystery. He had correctly guessed who the killer was on the second page. He looked up at the full moon and wondered where his love was. Or was he meant to be alone forever?

Kuno

Kuno froze in horror when the creature had appeared. He wondered what the hell was happening when a glowing stream was pulled from his mouth, and then spat back into him with a look of supernatural distaste. The next day he convinced himself that it was a dream and went to put on his Kendo uniform and realized how stupid he looked. So he changed into his school uniform and left the kendo one and his bokken at home. Before leaving the house, he ordered Sasuke to take down all the nudity pictures of girls in his room, something the ninja did happily. Kuno’s gift was common sense and rational thought. The oni had cured his weirdness.

Shampoo

Shampoo barely even tried to fight when the oni fed from her. “What happen now?” she said wearily.

“This male too, had been corrupted and I cannot accept an impure life force. Hence why I came back for yours” it informed her.

“He act weird, he dress weird and some girl like him?” Shampoo said. “Why?”

“How humans act is of little consequence to me as long as I get fed. I shall be back for another sacrifice tomorrow night. Think hard upon this, you’re starting to try my patience” it intoned and vanished.
