"Hello Handsome," a sultry voice interrupted Ren's anxious inner monologue. Looking up, he found Kyoko sitting on the coffee table a few feet away from him, a very sexy and provocative Kyoko who was only wearing one of his long sleeved pajama shirts—the top matching his bottoms. Its called a boyfriend shirt. Ren recalled. The royal blue outfit was one of his better pairs of pajamas, and the pocket had a blue and white pattern marking it as a designer item, but that was of little consequence.
Right now, what made the shirt so damn remarkable was that it was being worn by his woman. The shirt was loose on her petite frame, but it exposed her body in other suggestive ways. The hem of the shirt grazed her thighs, exposing damn near all of her shapely legs as she sat before him. Kyoko also must have grown tired of buttoning the shirt because she had left nearly all the buttons undone, maybe buttoning 2-3 buttons at most. This fashion let the shirt reveal a taunting trail from the pale skin of Kyoko's neck, down across her collarbone, in-between the slopes of womanly mounds, and slightly below the toned mid-section of her stomach. Desire surged through Ren, and through his pants, but he had learned the theme of the night. He knew this wasn't his Kyoko, so he simply sighed in resignation.
"So, who do I have the pleasure of meeting now?" Ren had an idea of who this could be, but he didn't want to make any more assumptions tonight.
She had watched as the man before her devoured her with his gaze, and she had to hide the utter enjoyment she was anticipating for this last game. She even had to school her features before answering his question.
"Don't play coy, love. You know who I am." A teasing smile played at the girl's lips as she seductively crossed one leg over the other. Her smile wasn't anywhere near innocent, but it had a light-hearted playfulness that he had seen on the face of a certain high school girl before.
"Natsu-san, I believe." Ren answered slowly, leaning back against the couch. If I'm right, I'm in trouble.
"Ding! Ding! Ding!" The seductress chimed and giggled as she clapped her hands in mock celebration. Ren's eyes caught how such movements made her breasts jump and jiggle in a delectable way. "I am guessing from your reaction I am not the first to greet you tonight?" Natsu's lively voice chirped as she looked at the cautious man before her. His guards up, this will be fun.
Surprise appeared on Ren's face at the comment. Neither of the other two had talked about one another, and mentioning Kyoko had seemed like a taboo subject for Setsu while Mio exhibited neither positive nor negative feelings towards her creator—she had barely even acknowledged her.
"You know about the others?" Ren's voice held obvious interest. He learned with Setsu and Mio to treat them as individuals and not as Kyoko, so he had planned to maintain that plan of attack with Natsu, but here she was throwing him a curveball right off the bat.
A knowing look spread across her face as Natsu analyzed the man before her. However, she didn't want to appear too critical as of yet, so she displayed a friendly smile instead. "Of course I do. We are all part of Kyoko-chan."
Her answer, accompanied by such a relaxed smile, was initially very comforting for Ren. However, he became unsettled as he registered the possessiveness in Natsu's voice. The way her voice wrapped around Kyoko's name was similar to how he called her, with love and devotion. Was this a warning.
"Have our girl's been giving you trouble? Setsu and Mio are good kids, they can just be hard to handle sometimes. You should hear Kyoko trying to reign them in haha." Natsu's eyes sparkled as she talked about their relationship, and her demeanor was that of a school girl sitting around the table talking to friends at lunch, but Ren didn't hear words of friendship. It was more like she was building a wall between him and Kyoko—separating them.
"That does sound like a lot of fun, but I don't think they were too much trouble. Even if they were, I would have to get used to it since I plan to be with Kyoko from now on. As you said, you are all a part of her." Ren's voice mimicked Natsu's sociable tone, but they both knew they were sizing each other up. Natsu was a true demon, more so than Mio, and Ren knew that. All he needed to know her true character was the fact that Kuon was itching to come out. He liked Natsu a lot, and though Mio and Kuon would have been a dangerous pair, Natsu and Kuon could destroy the world.
"Hmmm," Natsu hummed as she made direct eye contact with Ren. When their eyes locked, Ren could feel Natsu analyzing him again, seeing how he was reacting to her performance. She smiled back at him after a few seconds, and it was clear that she was entertained by whatever she saw.
"How boring, I bet you and I could have a lot more fun." A haughty stare shot over at Ren. "Don't you want to try touching me?" A teasing Natsu was a dangerous animal. The way she bit her lip and looked over at Ren was screaming for him to take her, but Natsu wouldn't simply allow anyone to have their way with her. No, Natsu was just playing games, and Ren could have handled the teasing if it had been any other day (probably), but tonight had really worn down his nerves. In the mood for a little revenge, Ren moved his head to rest in one hand as he looked over at Natsu.
"I don't know," Ren's voice deepened, "Maybe if you play with yourself, I may feel motivated to touch you." Natsu paused for a short second before responding to Ren's offer. She had not been expecting such a forward attack so soon.
"Oh, so you wan't a show?" Natsu's laughter trilled as she grinned at him, "Ok, but you know nothing in life comes free, and I may cost more than you're willing to pay." Ren's eyes darkened as her words hung in the air. He was willing to give anything to Kyoko, and he didn't like being doubted.
It was under this heated stare that Natsu began to roam her fingers over Kyoko's body. She started at her neck and then sensually made her way down the rest of her body. Her hands glided down, tracing her feminine curves, as she descended past her breasts, down to her waist , around her hips, and then leaning over to stoke her bare legs from her thighs down to in-between her knees. Ren watched as she teased him, knowing that both of them would have preferred it if it were his hands caressing her body, but he was still thoroughly enjoying himself, especially when Natsu's current position — leaning over and looking up at him through delicate lashes— was allowing him to have the most spectacular view of Kyoko's unclothed breasts that hung free from the confines of his shirt.
Natsu smirked at the man who was watching her every move with devoted attention, and decided to tease him a little more before getting to the good part. Sliding back up to a sitting position, Natsu allowed her hands to catch the hem of her shirt and pull it slightly higher up on her thighs. Once upright, she fixed Ren with a heated gaze of her own.
"How was that, Sensei?" Natsu had used the fact the she was a school girl to add some depth to their fantasy play, and she laughed as Ren flinched back at her words. "Oh, is that a sensitive topic?" Natsu flashed a smug grin in Ren's direction—she had known what Mio had called him. "Hmm, then how about this?"
Natsu's hands left her thighs as she brought one of her sleeved arms up to her mouth as she simultaneously opened her legs to allow the other to nestle between her thighs, blocking Ren's sight form her womanly essence. Her face then transformed as a light blush dusted her cheeks and her lips puckered into a pout.
"Sempai, this is embarrassing." An embarrassed whine escaped Kyoko's lips. Ren wasn't much for role-playing-he did enough of that in his line of work-but being called Sempai by Kyoko made his body shiver and his cock twitch. All night, Ren had been called everything but his name by the alter-egos, and this was closest any of them had come to calling him in a way similar to Kyoko.
Natsu watched the man shiver at her words, and licked her lips at the effect she was having over him. Hungry eyes watched her as she then began to let the shirt slip off her shoulders even more, making it fall behind her back and pool around her on the coffee table.
Natsu arched her back forward, displaying Kyoko's smooth, white breasts in all their glory. "But if this is what Sempai wants.." Natsu's voice trailed as one hand came to cup the under side of her right breast as her left hand came up to her mouth where she inserted two fingers.
Ren was transfixed by the woman before him, there was no point in denying it. He was watching Kyoko play with herself in front of him, of course he was enjoying it, but when Natsu began to fondle her right breast she flinched slightly. They both looked down as Natsu gently probed at a hickey blooming around Kyoko's nipple.
"Well, well, Sempai" Natsu's taunting voice began. "Who have you already defiled tonight?" The look on Kyoko's face was erotic as she drew two moistened fingers out of her mouth. Ren had felt guilty when Kyoko flinched, but he needed to continue the game if he was going to get to see Kyoko tonight.
"It was just a taste. Mio didn't seem to mind." Ren's voice was gruff as he answered her, his arousal clear.
"Ah, well. You seem to like them innocent, Sempai." Natsu crossed her arms across her chest and went back to sitting like some business tycoon. Ren didn't miss the understood accusation in Natsu's voice. "But why waste your time with children like Mio and Kyoko? I can pleasure you more than those naive fools."
Ren didn't know how to answer. He felt like he had just been asked an interview question and it seemed like his answer was going to determine if he got the job or not. Ren also didn't understand Natsu's change in behavior. Yes, she was still goading him, but her reaction to Kyoko had shifted too far too quickly. Something wasn't right. Natsu was protective over her Kyoko-chan, she wouldn't speak of her that way. Unless…
"Anything you can do for me, Kyoko can too." Ren stated with 100% conviction. He needed to prove himself loyal to Kyoko. Like a mafia boss, if there was anything Natsu would respect it was loyalty, but he also felt like this was a test. He needed a little more information before he could be sure though.
Natsu's face went blank and merely stared at him for a few seconds, probably to process this new information. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she threw her head back in laughter, full on hysteria filled the room as Natsu held her sides while she continued to laugh in Ren's face.
"Oh my, sweet darling," Natsu finally said after she caught her breath, and then fixed Ren with the most provocative of smiles. "Do you actually believe that?" Her voice hardened as she fixed her shirt and slid off the table. Natsu began to stalk up to where Ren was sitting on the couch, taking those few measly steps towards him with overwhelming allure. Ren gulped as Kyoko's hips swayed form side to side as she walked, and the shirt she was wearing, his shirt, offered tempting glimpses of her upper thighs before vanishing as she took her next step.
Ren knew this was dangerous. He could handle Setsu. He could even tame Mio. But Ren had little confidence in his ability to face Na-chan in the same way without losing control. He had nearly lost all reason just watching her play with herself, and they both knew it. Setsu and Mio were nothing compared to Natsu when it came to being villains—she was the true master mind.
In secret, Ren had watched Box R to catch glimpses of Kyoko when they couldn't meet in person and to assess her development as an actress, and he had loved the thrill of seeing his Princess becoming such a mature beauty before his eyes—even if she was a bully role. Natsu was also closest in appearance to Kyoko, so Ren could imagine that it was his Princess that was coming towards him, radiating sexuality.
No…That's a step too far. They do look similar, with Kyoko only needing some makeup to make the transformation, but their hearts were probably the farthest apart of all Kyoko's alter-egos. This seductress walking up to him was essentially a charismatic crime boss, and, if Ren wasn't careful, he would end up being twisted around her delicate little fingers.
Natsu had made her way over to stand before Ren. Looking at her, Ren only saw the dainty features of his beloved gazing at him. Her hair was damp and had evidence of her fingers recently running through it to push it behind her ears, her cheeks were rosy against her supple skin, and her smile was small and innocent. When their eyes made contact, Natsu's smile became incredibly gently as she placed her warm hand against his cheek. The action was so affectionate, if he closed his eyes it would be easy to think Kyoko was touching him, but he didn't close his eyes. Instead, Ren's eyes merely fluttered as her sweet little hand trailed down his cheek, over his neck, and down to his chest, where it stopped. Ren looked down at her again when she ceased her little happy trail down his body, and what he found shocked him back to reality.
Ren had forgotten who was touching him, and it was only when he met Natsu's eyes that he remembered. Glimmering eyes were staring at him, but what was shinning behind those eyes was not love for him, but love of power. Natsu was enjoying playing with Ren, and she wasn't done. A wicked glint in her eye was his only warning before that loving hand on his chest became a heavy handed force that pushed him back into the couch.
Before he could get up, Natsu forcibly rammed her knee in-between Ren's legs, dangerously close to where Ren Junior was standing in full attention. Her other hand also snaked its way into his hair and yanked his face close to hers. "You think innocent little Kyoko could give you the same pleasure as I can? You honestly believe that?" The eyes that Ren loved filled with pure menace, pure evil. Kyoko and her alter-egos could do whatever they wanted to his body, as all of him belonged to her, but he didn't like Natsu using Kyoko to look at him like that. Let me play. Ren shivered as Kuon attempted to rise completely to the surface for the first time since Cain Heel, but Ren was able to hold him back—well, most of him.
Natsu waited for the man below her to respond, but he had closed his eyes and was trembling before her. Hm, if he's this pathetic Kyoko-chan shouldn't waste her time. Natsu rolled her eyes at the man's apparent weakness and was about to continue with the game when a cold shudder rocked her to her very core. Feeling the presence of something sinister, perhaps on the same level as her, Natsu's eyes searched for the owner of such a malicious presence. Her amber eyes locked on two brilliant emeralds, eyes that were barely managing to contain whatever fire was burning within. Natsu could see Tsuruga Ren, but she could also sense that something, someone, was lurking just below the surface— and oh, how she wanted to play with him.
"What makes you think you can pleasure me, little girl?" Natsu watched as a cold sneer coiled her Sempai's lips and she could feel the throaty rumble of the man's words as those same eyes slide over Kyoko's body, giving her a once over. The man had dislodged himself from her grip and was now leaning back into the couch, looking as comfortable as a king on his throne.
The heat from his gaze was stifling, yet his tone was mocking. So he's finally getting serious. Natsu's body hummed in anticipation as an ecstatic smile flashed across her face before a sultry one replaced it.
"What, Sempai, am I not womanly enough for you?" Natsu purred as she brought one hand to her hip and trailed the other down the center of her partially exposed chest.
"Hmm," A throaty moan answered her. "Not that you aren't unbelievably tempting, my dear, but I think I've waited long enough for Kyoko to come out. Even Ren's patience won't last forever." Natsu felt the weight of the man's words and knew just by looking at his face that he truly was losing patience, and quickly. That's when a thought came into her twisted little brain.
It was a good thing Natsu wasn't a push-over. Any other woman, or human being for that matter, would probably have crumbled under the pressure this man's presence was exerting on her, but for Natsu this was a delicious development. Box R had finished its filming and she hadn't been allowed to come to the surface that much recently, and she had never had the chance to meet someone so like her. A comrade?
Natsu's body was tingling all over with excitement every second that man looked at her, and she could tell behind his impatience there was another emotion burning, something more instinctual, more primal. That was her chance.
"Ok, ok" Natsu rose her hands in mock defeat. "I'll let you meet Kyoko-chan" Lowing her hands, Natsu rolled her eyes and harshly ran her fingers through her hair before looking back at Ren with an impish grin, "But, only after you've played with me too. Its only fair."
Natsu reached out her hand and the combined instinct of Ren and Kuon had them just looking at it warily, debating on what they should do. They knew this would be a mistake, but they would be lying if they said they never thought of the idea of "playing" with Natsu, and Ren truly believed she wouldn't let him meet Kyoko until he agreed to her terms. Hesitantly, Ren took Kyoko's small hand in his and gave a tentative shake. Ren knew his fate was sealed when Natsu's small, pink tongue slipped out from between her lips to wet them.
"Excellent" She hissed.
Ren had agreed to her terms, but he had not been prepared for what was too come. Before he could second guess his decision, Natsu got down on her knees and stationed herself between his legs. A devilish grin adorned her face as she gently placed her hands on his knees, giving a light squeeze before yanking them apart. The action wasn't meant to hurt Ren, but it had definitely made him tense up. Now that he was at her mercy, Ren was loosing his nerve. Natsu also seemed to revel in making Ren uncomfortable as her grin grew at the tension in his body. Strong, sure hands slide from his knees and up his thighs, coming to a stop on either side of his waist.
Natsu was now looking at him as hungrily as he had been all night, but it was slightly different. Natsu had the confidence that his lovable Kyoko, sadly, lacked. She moved with sure motions and determined actions, and her eyes never once doubted that he wanted her. It was in this moment that Ren realized how much he missed the adorable Kyoko. He wanted her to have confidence, but he only found it strange seeing his lover acting as if this wasn't the first night she had touched him so intimately. Ren wanted to shower her with love and affection and then watch her develop such confidence on her own, and then they could enjoy themselves to the fullest by exploring their sexuality together. Oh, how he would look forward to that.
However, it definitely wasn't the innocent Kyoko sitting before him now, and Natsu and Kuon had their minds on other desires. Grasping the waistline of his pants, Natsu once again yanked at Ren's body, only just managing to move him forward a few inches in his suspire at the suddenness of her actions, but it was enough. With those few inches, Natsu was now only a breath away from Ren's skin. Leaning forward, Natsu unabashedly licked a long trail from the tip of his belly button up to the center of his chest, savoring him.
"Hmm" Natsu moaned as she leaned back to meet a scorching gaze. "Salty, but overall delicious." She smacked her lips as her fingers began to play along his waistline once again. "I wonder, am I making you nervous?"
The teasing smile and delighted eyes Natsu wore would have made Ren laugh if he wasn't so turned on by the situation. Kyoko's hands were hovering around the growing bulge in his pants so he could barely maintain a proper train of thought, but he had come to realize something. He had a theory for why he was spending the night with everyone BUT his Kyoko, so it was now time for a test of his own.
Finally handing the reigns over completely to his own alter ego, The Emperor of the Night, Ren's hand reached out to grasp Kyoko's chin. Gently but forcibly he pulled her face up to his, "I am spending the evening doing indescribably pleasant things with the women that I love, why would I be nervous?"
The piercing gave of the Emperor took even Natsu off guard. She had never really had a worthy opponent before and now that the Emperor had been unleashed, she may have met her match. No, No! This is for Kyoko-chan. You have to remain in control. Natsu tried to dislodge her chin from in-between his fingers, but the Emperor was allowing no escape tonight, him and Ren had reached the end of their rope after all the taunting they had endured that night.
Suddenly, Natsu was swept up into the air and thrown over the man's shoulder. "Wait, what, put me down!" Natsu thrashed against Ren's iron hold, but it was useless. Before she knew it, Natsu was being tossed down onto the bed, air momentarily leaving her lungs in a loud huff.
"Now, Na-chan, you said you wanted to play?" The Emperor stood staring down at her from the foot of the bed. The streaks of moonlight entering from the window cloaked him in a silvery halo, and the stirring Kyoko gleefully compared him to a fairy or an angel inside their head, but in the real world Natsu shuddered under the desirous gaze of the one before her. Now she knew why Kyoko referred to him as the Emperor of the Night…
"So, Natsu" The Emperor's green eyes were fixed on her as he began to slowly crawl onto the bed, stopping when he came to tower over her on his knees. "Do you still wanna play?" The taunting smile being returned to her was something Natsu wasn't used to, but that only made the situation that more exciting.
"Mhmm," Natsu hummed as she too got on her knees and wrapped her arms around Ren's neck. "I sure do." Natsu leaned in for a kiss, but was stopped by two hands on the side of her face, holding her in place.
"Hold it, little girl." The Emperor's eyes were filled with amusement as he watched an impatient scowl pull at her eyebrows. "Not so fast, we haven't discussed the rules."
Natsu rolled her eyes and tried to use force to pull herself in to claim his lips, but they both knew that was useless. "I don't like rules." Natsu huffed out, obviously annoyed with the situation.
The Emperor looked down at her a second more before he abruptly pushed her away and moved past her to the head of the bed where he sat down and crossed his arms in disappointment. 'i guess that means the game is over before it starts. I'm not foolish enough to play a game against you with no rules, Natsu." Ren's face was stern as he showed how foolish the idea would be.
Natsu had to agree, Tsuruga Ren and whoever the man sitting before her was were no fools, and it was wise to have a game plan if they were going against someone like her.
"Ok, Handsome, you win. What are the rules?" An annoyed but resigned stare met his as Natsu also turned around to face the head of the bed. The Emperor smiled at gaining the upper hand.
"You can do whatever you want to me, Natsu. I will be completely at your mercy." Ren's arms raised to his sides as he made an open gesture, "But," an evil glint shined behind the seemingly innocent expression on Ren's face. "You have to be completely naked."
Natsu's muscles twitched under the implications of such a rule. Natsu was confident in her looks, but being the only one in a room without clothes on implied a sense of subjugation, of humiliation. She knew why he made the rule, and she figuratively pat him on the back for playing his cards so well, but she didn't like being one upped.
Not saying a word, Natsu stood up from her sitting position on the bed—she could have easily removed her shirt while sitting, but she wanted to give this man a good view. Slowly, she let her hands travel to the three bottom buttons and began to unbutton them. Once the buttons were undone, Natsu looked up to meet the Emperor's penetrating stare. Fuck . Ren had suspected as much, but when she had opened her shirt it was clear. This whole time Kyoko hadn't been wearing any underwear.
"That's fine," her silky voice broke the silence. "But can I make a rule of my own?" Natsu's hands vanished under the sides of the shirt so that only their outline was visible as she once again traced along her body up to her shoulders, never taking her eyes of the man before her.
Ren didn't trust his voice at the moment, so he just made a deep guttural noise of acknowledgment and nodded, telling her to continue. Natsu smiled. "I will be naked," Her hands slowly rolled the shirt off her shoulders, "But you can't touch me unless I tell you to." The shirt fell to the bed like a little pool of fabric around Kyoko's feet, and the daring look Natsu was wearing made Kuon nearly pounce on her—already trying to break the rules.
A sly smile as her hand came to rest on her hip, "Is that ok, Sempai?" Ren was battling with himself right now. Ren, Kuon, Katsuki, and even Cain wanted to play at the moment, and he didn't know who it was that answered her but all of them were in agreement.
"Sure, little girl, I'm sure it won't be too long before you're begging for me." They smiled at each other as the challenge electrified the air between them.
"We'll see."
Natsu was sure taking her time toying with Ren.
First, Natsu had placed herself over his lap, her second pair of lips less than an inch away from kissing his hardened manhood. Once situated, she continued her earlier show. Moistened fingers moved and slid all over her breasts and pulled at her own nipples while mewling noises tickled Ren's ears. Ren nearly broke the rules when those same fingers had wandered downward towards Kyoko's lovely lady cavern, but this was just a tease as Natsu only laughed at Ren's reaction before moving them back to play with her breasts.
Next, Natsu seemed to make it her mission to cover every inch of Ren's chest in hickeys—she called it "returning the favor." She's quite liberal with the use of her teeth. Ren could tell Natsu was having fun making him moan and pant underneath her, but he didn't mind letting her take control. At the moment, all his mind could focus on was how long his poor little buddy had been straining against his pants, begging for release. As if reading his mind, Natsu suddenly shoved her warm center down, grinding against him with intoxicating friction.
"Ugh," A moan left Ren and Kyoko's lips as Natsu found the throbbing growth in his pants.
"Hmm? What's this?" Natsu gave a knowing look as she moved back off him to look at the man in front of her. Her voice then coming out again in a sultry whisper. "Can I play with this too?" Her hand reached down to outline the impressive length in Ren's pants before clamping down on it, making Ren groan at the welcomed contact.
"Mhmm," Ren hummed as the Emperor returned to smirk at the little tease. "Only if you make sure not to break it." A coy smile answered him as Natsu pushed Ren more forcibly against the headboard and repositioned herself so that she sat between Ren's strong thighs, her hand never leaving his hot, throbbing member.
"Oh don't worry," Natsu's glance met the Emperor's gaze briefly before looking back down, "I take very good care of my toys." Sure you do, Ren grunted as Natsu harshly tugged on him. She laughed and began to play with him some more, sometimes going frustratingly slow with only feather light touches, other times turning rough as she squeezed him from his head to the base. Ren was too lost in the fact that she was finally touching him to really care about how she was doing it, but neither of them missed the fact that he was becoming soaked underneath his clothes. Just a little more.
As if sensing this, Natsu suddenly let go of him, choosing instead to lean forward so that her face was in his. "Sempai?' A sweet voice addressed him. She waited for his answer, and a smile pulled at her lips as the Emperor rolled his eyes in response.
Ren had been close to finishing, despite the odd way she was pleasuring him, so he had a feeling she had stopped just then on purpose. The look in her eyes confirmed his suspicion. "Yes, Natsu." Ren had known he had been in for the long haul by agreeing to play with Natsu, but that doesn't mean he was particularly happy about it.
Natsu giggled at his annoyance before leaning in to kiss his nose in a surprising show of tenderness. "Don't be like that, Handsome. I just thought of something. Do you wan't to hear a secret about Kyoko-chan?" Ren looked at Natsu warily as she continued to smile at him. He didn't really know where she was going, and he couldn't even trust whatever she said, but he might as well play along.
"Sure." He replied tersely, but it wasn't enthusiastic enough for Natsu.
"Oh, come on. I promise you its something interesting, something you probably couldn't even think of." Natsu's eyes were alight with mischief, but there was a hint of sincerity in her words that was making Ren curious.
"Ok, Please tell me Natsu-sama." Natsu chuckled at the way he addressed her and leaned back out of his face, just by a few inches so she could look at him full on, pressed against the headboard, bare chested, and with a raging boner. Needless to say, she liked what she saw.
"Barely passing," She graded his performance, "but since its you I'll go ahead and tell you." A little smirk and her hand came to rest on Ren's chest, slowly dragging her finger up and down the center of his body.
"Did you know that Kyoko-chan, YOUR Kyoko," Natsu moved her hand off Ren's chest and pressed it against his lips. "has touched herself with this hand while thinking of you?" Ren's eyes grew wide at the news and his jaw literally dropped hearing it. Kyoko did what? Natsu traced his now parted lower lip before slipping a single finger into his mouth.
"Did you also know," She continued slowly as Ren's tongue rolled around the guest in his mouth. "That Kyoko desires you just as much, or maybe more, than you desire her. That she has dreamed of this," Once again Natsu grabbed Ren's erection in her hands and gave a strong tug, "Heavenly shaft being thrust into her again and again, night after night, since you two stared dating?"
Ren was left speechless, even Kuon was having a hard time understanding what she was saying. Kyoko wanted him? All this time he had thought he was the only one suppressing himself, but had he been wrong? Was Kyoko having just as many desire filled dreams as him? If Natsu was right, she had gone even farther than he had in his dreams if they had actually reached penetration. What does that mean for their relationship now? Did he need to keep holding back, or could they…
For the first time that night, Natsu was showing a truly displeased expression. This was one damn idiotic couple. Natsu could practically read Ren's thoughts as they passed though his head. Annoyed, Natsu turned the finger that was still in Ren's mouth into a hook and pulled at his cheek from the inside.
"Listen, you." Natsu growled. "You need to stop seeing Kyoko as a child. Don't you dare underestimate a young woman's desires." Her lips curled as she tried to get her message through, thinking the job had been done she extracted her finger from Ren's mouth and flopped down to sit next to him.
Ren rubbed his sore cheek as he witnessed Natsu's character shift. It was like a switch had been flipped and all her taunting and teasing blew out the window, at least for now.
"Kyoko desires me?" Ren let the thought slip from between his lips as he came to hope for the impossible. He had thought it would be months, years possibly, for Kyoko to be wanting Ren the same way her wanted her, but if what Natsu said was true, than he wouldn't have to be so timid around Kyoko anymore.
Ren wanted to have her clarify some more, so he turned to meet a disbelieving stare, one that was clearly looking at him like he was a pathetic excuse for a man.
"Oh, thank god your pretty because right now you seem really stupid." Her words were harsh, but he didn't feel the same sting her words had earlier. Natsu wasn't really trying to bully him, she was just sitting there talking to him. Weird.
"But," Ren began to doubt, his cautious nature making itself known. "If that's so, why does Kyoko always run away from me. It can't simply be due to embarrassment." Ren's voice was filled with insecurity. He wanted what he was hearing to be true, but he just couldn't understand—it didn't help that it was nearly 6 in the morning and he had been up all night playing mind games.
"Well, it could, but that's not really the case." Natsu was already bored with the conversation. She didn't feel like it was her responsibility to spoon feed the man the answers he was searching for, but she did want to see Kyoko happy and this was the fastest method.
"Kyoko-chan is nervous and afraid." Natsu continued, sighing as she shifted so she sat criss-crossed on Ren's bed, naked. If he hadn't been so preoccupied with the conversation, Ren would have appreciated the sight a little more.
"Why would she feel that way? Is it because of me?" Ren's face darkened as he thought of how he could have made her feel such painful emotions. He thought he had been doing well showing her how much she meant to him.
"God, the world isn't centered around you!" Natsu's voice rung with disgust. "You shower her with love don't you? But that's not always enough, and Kyoko-chan is special. You know she has been hurt before so her defenses are constantly on guard, her fears ever present. She feels guilty that she doubts you, but she can't help it. That's why we are here."
"You were here to test me?" Ren had known that was the case, but confirming it hurt. He didn't like the thought that Kyoko doubted him even if he understood why.
"Oh stop it with the kicked-puppy face. Yeah, it's why we were all here tonight. Setsu thought you would eventually abandon us for another woman, Mio thought you would come to hate us if you realized how dark we truly are, and I was here to see how you would respond to the advances of a "mature beauty" because you always treat us like a damn brat. All of us are part of Kyoko-chan. We share her fears, and I guess when she got drunk Kyoko-chan lost some of her control and the rest of us stepped forward to voice her fears on her behalf. Don't blame her. We just don't want Kyoko-chan to get hurt again." The last sentence came out much more strained, and Natsu's aloof attitude was quickly beginning to crumble. In her words, anyone could have seen how much she cared for Kyoko and wanted to protect her.
"Hmm" Ren ran his fingers through his hair, thinking over what had been said. He thought he had been doing a good job of alleviating some of her fears, but tonight had led him to see that hadn't been the case. "Well, how did I do?" Ren asked bluntly.
Natsu looked back over at him, pulled from the jumble of all their thoughts combining. "What?" The confusion on her face actually made the girl look quite cute, so a small chuckle escaped Ren's mouth despite himself. Natsu's eyes narrowed into slits, but before she could dish out a verbal lashing, Ren continued.
"I said, how did I do? Did I pass? I mean, I know I wasn't anywhere near saintly tonight, but I made sure that I didn't go too far with any of you. I love Kyoko, and I accept all of you as intricate parts of her, but the one I want to touch, the one I want to hold, the one I want to ravish. That is only Kyoko." Ren paused, hoping his wish would finally be granted, "Do you think you could get her for me so I could tell her that?"
The god-like smile that Ren wore even cleansed some of Natsu's wicked aura, and she also couldn't help but laugh at the sincerity in his words. Yeah, they had played long enough. Now it's up to you, Kyoko-chan.
"Anything for you, Handsome." Natsu left Ren with a flirty little wink while blowing him a kiss. A genuine smile had graced Kyoko's face before the face of his dear little flower grew pale and the smile turned into a grimace. Before Ren could say anything, the girl threw herself under the blankets and cocooned herself there, just like Setsu had before her. A ghastly wail began to shake the lump from within, but Ren just smiled,
"Welcome back, my darling Kyoko."
AN: Yay! The final boss has been vanquished!
First and foremost, I would like to thank everyone for continuing to read my story. I would especially like to thank everyone who left a comment! You have no idea how happy and encouraged I feel from anyone taking the time to send me their thoughts about the story's progress.
This chapter ended up being a lot longer than usual, but I thought ya'll wouldn't mind too much ;) Natsu really is one of my favorite character development stories from the Skip Beat Series, but I have to admit she really is the farthest from Kyoko's personality in my own opinion.
I hope everyone is still enjoying the story's progression. I will be returning to school starting next week, so I don't know when the next time I post will be, but I promise not to keep you waiting too long! I am also going to try and go into a lot more depth with the love scene next chapter, since Ren is finally getting to meet Kyoko, so that may also take some time to develop the way I want. I hope to make ya'll proud!
See you next time!
