Chapter 36: Peaceful Days

"Sir!" Shogo saluted as he stood in front of Leon. Shogo still hadn't gotten the uniform but he wore the armband that made him a member of the Public Safety Committee.

"Yes, Shogo?" Leon questioned.

"Sir, will we be providing security for the Sports Festival?" Shogo asked.

"We will once we have enough members," Leon answered. "How about your recon? Did you find her yet?"

"No, sir. I've only heard reports of sightings from other students," Shogo answered.

"Dammit…" Leon muttered, annoyed. "She's hiding really well. You have anything else to report?"

"No, sir." Shogo saluted. "May I be excused?"

"Sure, and at ease soldier," said Leon.

"Thank you, sir!" Shogo marched out and Leon sighed. He heard another knock at the door. "Come in."

Yuki entered, with a sketchpad in hand. "Oh, Yuki. It's you."

"I just passed by Shogo. Did he have something to report?" Yuki asked.

"I sent him to do aerial recon," said Leon as he looked back at his paperwork.

"Still having trouble finding more members?" Yuki questioned.

"I need to build a team made up of people I can trust not to become corrupt, but besides you and Shogo I haven't found anybody else." He spotted Reiri's application form. "I still need to prepare for more interviews. So, what did you come to see me for?"

"Well, I was thinking we could redesign the uniforms for the Public Safety Committee. You're still wearing the old colors and the students have very bad memories of the old regime," she informed him.

"You have suggestions?" Leon asked.

Yuki went to his side and opened up her sketchbook. "I have a few, actually."

"Are you sure about this, Moka-chan?" Shinichi asked.

"It's the best way for you to practice your Kanji, Shinichi-kun," she reasoned.

"But…this is Japanese calligraphy!" He was holding an ink brush and dipping it into an ink well before writing on a sheet of paper. There was a pile of blank sheets of paper next to him, ready to be written on.

"You need to practice the order of strokes. Your problem is that you know what the characters look like but you put the strokes in the wrong order," she told him. She'd seen his handwriting and it was barely readable. He was the only one who could considering he'd written them. It was a miracle he was able to get 2nd in their entire year for last term's midterm and final exam.

"OK, OK," Shinichi sighed. He slowly put the brush onto the paper and wrote a character. Moka watched as he drew the character with each stroke but then frowned. "What?"

"You got that part wrong," she said, pointing out.

"Is it really that noticeable?" he asked. She nodded. "Kaa-chan says that Kanji wasn't her forte either but it's not a problem for her since she writes with a computer."

"Still, you'll need proper Kanji writing skills, Shinichi-kun," said Moka.

"Hai, hai, Moka-sensei," he saluted. He flicked the brush and accidentally stained Moka's cheek. "Oh, shoot!" He grabbed a paper napkin and gently rubbed the ink stain off. Moka blushed a bit at the close contact and so did Shinichi as he slowly withdrew his hand but Moka grabbed hold of his wrist. "Ah…I think we should take a break."

"Right," Moka agreed as she let go. "I'll make some tea."

"Could you pour me a glass of cold milk and honey?" he requested. She nodded and went to the kitchen. Being alone with Moka often made him a little nervous, despite the fact that they had kissed before and gone out on a date…one date…a date that got ruined by GIN-SHOCKER's meddling. He twirled the ink brush around and then dipped it into the ink well before drawing on the paper again. When Moka came back with the drinks, putting the cups on the table, she blushed as she saw what Shinichi had drawn.

It was a picture of her, drawn in ink, and it was done within the span of time she'd taken to make their drinks.

"Shinichi-kun," she said and Shinichi realized what he'd drawn.

"Did I do this?" he asked. "I wasn't really paying attention."

"It's amazing, like the painting you did," said Moka. "You've really got talent."

"I wouldn't call it that," he said modestly. He grabbed his cup and sipped the delicious beverage. "Ah…milk and honey." He swirled it a bit around. "You know, I remember how Kaa-chan persuaded me to drink milk when I was a kid. I was so stubborn so she had the idea to put honey into each glass of milk and drink it with me. Since then it's been our favorite drink."

Moka smiled after hearing that. It was so good to listen as he told her about a memory of his childhood he thought he'd lost.

He put down the cup and smiled at Moka. "Thanks, Moka-chan. You've been a great help."

"Well, you do need help with Kanji," she said.

"I was talking about the first day," he said. "The day we met. You became my friend even when I didn't know who I was or how I got here. I think the first time I ever cracked a smile was the day I met you."

Moka remembered, crashing into him, drinking his blood, and accidentally driving him away because she'd foolishly told him she hated humans. He still came back to save her from Saizou. Speaking of which, where was Saizou? He hadn't turned up again since the first day of the new term. She wonder where he'd gone. She looked to Shinichi, wondering if Saizou had confronted him and had been beaten again.

"In fact, if it weren't for you, Kamen Rider Showa would not have been born," he finished. He then leaned in and kissed her. Surprised, Moka lost her balance before falling on her back with Shinichi on top of her, still kissing her. Moka slowly kissed back, putting her arms around Shinichi as she held him close.

Breaking the kiss, he told her, "Moka-chan, I love you."

"Shinichi-kun, I love you too…" she replied, gazing into his eyes.

"I'm not interrupting anything, am I?" Hearing the voice, Moka and Shinichi suddenly jumped apart and looked at the window to see Reiri sitting on the windowsill.

"Reiri-chan!" Shinichi yelped.

"Oh, don't mind me. Please, continue," she encouraged.

"What are you doing here, Reiri-san?" Moka asked.

"Oh, I was on my way to see Leon when I decided to just drop by and say hi." She stepped into the room and picked up a sheet of paper. "Calligraphy?"

"It's for Kanji practice," Shinichi answered. "So, you said you were going to see Leon about something."

"I applied for the Student Police job," said Reiri.

"Really? Congratulations," smiled Shinichi.

"Don't congratulate me yet, Shin-chan. I still need to pass the interview and go for a trial period before it's official. But, I think I can persuade Leon." She licked her lips.

The following morning, Shinichi walked to school with Moka when all of a sudden Kurumu appeared and hugged his right arm. "Shinichi!" she cheered happily. "I've missed you!"

Amused, Shinichi replied, "But you saw me yesterday, Kurumu-chan."

"I know, and I hated the hours we didn't get to see each other. I wish I was the one you went to see for Kanji practice," she pouted.

"But we'll be seeing each other tonight. I'm gonna help you with math," he reminded.

"Yes!" she grinned. She looked forward to that. "Hope you come to my room then." She kissed him on the cheek and beamed at him.

Moka glowered but then let out a sigh. She knew that Shinichi loved her and that all that counted. And while she felt she should be the only one for him, insister by her inner self, she knew that all the others loved him just as much as she did.

AFTER SCHOOL…

"So, we're all gonna head to the Hive Queen for some training tonight," Daichi told Shinichi, Yokoshima, Shogo, and Chiaki. The group was in the empty Newspaper Club room, and it was a good hiding spot since Shinichi's admirers where not around. Shogo, Chiaki and Yokoshima nodded, but Shinichi didn't look too thrilled. "Yo," Daichi alerted, snapping his fingers at his face, "What's wrong with you?"

"Huh?" Shinichi snapped out of his funk, "I kinda have a prior engagement. Kurumu-chan needs me to help her with her math homework."

"Oh, the succubus girl?" Yokoshima grinned, "I bet she'll be so grateful she'll put out for you."

Shinichi blinked at the Pillbug Cyborg's statement, and then he blinked again, "Are you implying that my friend is a slut?" he thundered with a glared.

"I think he's implying she's a whore," Daichi remarked, his face showing no emotion.

"Shinichi, relax," Shogo continued, "Yokoshima didn't mean anything by it. He's... not all that bright. He cooks bacon with an iron."

"Is it my fault that the iron makes the bacon nice, smooth and crispy!" Yokoshima shouted defensively.

"OK, here's what's we'll do, Yokoshima," Shinichi said, his finger raised up, "I am going to turn around, close my eyes and count to ten. If you're still there when I stop counting and turn back around, I...I can't be held responsible for what I might do to you." With those words said, he closed his eyes and turned around.

"Come on, Shinichi! Relax, it was a joke! I didn't mean anything by it!" Yokoshima pleaded.

"1...2..."

Shogo said, "Yokoshima, I think he means it."

"3...4..."

Daichi warned, "Yokoshima, run."

"5...6..."

Yokoshima cried, "Amscray!" before running for his life.

As promised, Shinichi showed up at Kurumu's dorm room. He knocked on the door and stepped back as the door was flung open. Amused, he asked, "Were you waiting for me at the door this whole time?" He looked at her ensemble. She wore a pink tank top with a pair of blue cut off shorts. The tank top revealed her midriff and barely contained her breasts. He, on the other hand, was wearing a yellow t-shirt with a black 'S' on it, a leather jacket, blue jeans and a red scarf.

"Maybe~" she said, amused, before taking his hand to pull him into her dorm room. He sniffed the air and remarked, "You've been baking." Kurumu had her own portable oven so she could bake her cookies and cakes. She was good at sweet things, in fact, and often brought some to share with him during lunch.

"Just a fresh batch of chocolate chip cookies," said Kurumu, "So we can enjoy it while you help me with my homework."

"Well, I do enjoy a snack," Shinichi said. He then put his arms around Kurumu, "And speaking of which…" He pressed his lips against hers. He had long ago realized that he cared for all the girls very much and while he could not choose one of them, he resolved to at least show each of them a fair amount of affection. The girls didn't seem to mind, at least when he was alone with one of them.

Kurumu closed her eyes and kissed back, putting her arms around her Destined One. It did frustrate her that Shinichi did this with the others but for now she could just enjoy the sensation of being in his arms and being kissed by him.

Shinichi broke the kiss and stared into Kurumu's violet eyes, her cheeks pink with a cute blush. "OK, let's do some math!"

"OK, do you understand it?" Shinichi asked. Kurumu's forehead slammed down against the table.

"I don't get it at all!" she whined. Shinichi put his hand on her back and rubbed it up and down.

"Just don't get too stressed about it. I mean you did well on our final last term, remember?" he told her.

Kurumu looked up and smiled at him. "Yeah, that's true."

Shinichi smiled back and looked at the clock. They had been working on the homework for half an hour. Maybe a little break would be nice. "How about a break?" he suggested.

Kurumu scooted over to him and then leaned against his shoulder. "I have the perfect idea…"

"Does it involve the both of us in bed?" he deadpanned.

"Ooh, you read my mind!" she giggled. "So…"

"Well, I wouldn't mind cuddling," Shinichi shrugged. Kurumu was actually thinking something beyond cuddling, "But I was actually thinking of something else we could do.

"Oh?"

"How about we go fly around for a bit?"

"So, this is what it's like to fly for fun?" Showa-Skyrider asked as he flew alongside Kurumu, his scarf flapping in the wind.

"Yeah, we succubae were built for this," she said, spinning around in midair, her wings spread.

"Must be nice to be born with wings," he remarked.

"You have wings," she pointed out.

"My Cicadroid has wings," he corrected. "I just put it on so I can fly with it, but Skyrider has his own merits."

"What are they?" she asked curiously.

"I'd race you, but I just wanna enjoy a flight with you." Showa-Skyrider reached towards her and she reached back. Their fingertips touched before they held hands, fingers intertwining. His hand may be covered in a black glove, but she could feel the warmth in his touch. She just wished that mask didn't conceal his face. She wanted to see his expression but could only imagine it from the tone of his voice.

"We're going to dive now. Ready?" Kurumu asked.

"No!" he joked, laughing, and the two shot down towards the ground. Just before hitting, the two of them shot up into the air as fast as they could, enjoying the rush.

"YA-HOO~!" Kurumu cheered.

Compared to Shinichi, Kurumu was an expert at this. Her wings were spread wide, her tail helped her to steer, and her body was so slender and light. The only thing heavy about her were her breasts but they didn't hinder her flight.

Then again, as she'd said, succubae were made for this.

"Wait…" Showa-Skyrider said. "Look, the sun's setting."

Kurumu looked to where he was pointing and just watched the beautiful sunset with him. It was just so romantic. Here they were holding hands, while in flight, and they were watching the sunset. It was a beautiful moment.

She felt so blessed.

She couldn't wait to write to her mother about this. But first she was going to make a stop at the campus store to buy ingredients. Next time, she was going to make muffins. Shinichi was sure to love them!

Kurumu exited the campus store, which sold everything for a student's convenience like groceries, stationary and even clothing. Since students were not permitted to leave the school until the holidays or under special permission, the school made sure that there were facilities that allowed students to make their dorms feel like home.

Kurumu, still dressed in tank top and shorts, skipped back towards her dorm. She was going to bake something delicious for her Destined One. Suddenly, her body felt cold.

She felt a presence behind her, a malevolent one, and picked up the pace. She felt a disgusting presence which she wanted to avoid at all cost. As she continued to run, the presence pursued, finally stopping in front of the dorms. She finally stopped running and spun around to see who it was.

"Nagare!-?" It was that slimy guy who'd tried to take advantage of her last term. "Weren't you expelled!-?"

"I was, thanks to you and your friends," Nagare said as he admired her figure. "Nice outfit. Mind if I took a few shots?"

"Yes, I do mind!" Kurumu snapped. "Now get out of here before I call Shinichi!"

"By all means, call him," Nagare chuckled. "I have a score to settle with him."

Kurumu scowled and dropped her groceries before going on the attack. Her claws lengthened and she prepared to strike him down. She went for a brutal slash but her claws simply slipped off the surface of her body. Nagare's perverse grin grew as he counterattacked, spitting a large wad of slime at Kurumu. Kurumu shrieked as she was hit and was disgusted.

"You…you're disgusting!" she cried. She then saw that her clothes were starting to melt away. "Hey, what's happening!-?"

"It's an acid that only affects fabric," he told her. "Now, can't have you running away…so…" Nagare took a deep breath before exhaling, releasing a thick gas that surrounded the two of them. Kurumu fell to her knees, coughing, as she felt herself growing weak.

"No…not again…" she uttered weakly. She was at Nagare's mercy now and he would be able to do what he wanted to her still virgin body. She wanted Shinichi to be her first, not this slimy creep.

The acid was slowly eating away at Kurumu's clothes, much to Nagare's delight, and the gas he emitted weakened her. Perfect. The bitch would submit to him and he his slave, willing or not, and he would get to have her as much as he wanted before he got tired of her. Licking his lips, he advanced on Kurumu who was trying to cover her modesty with her hands. Suddenly, Nagare was hit as a motorcycle ran into him, sending him flying.

Shinichi pulled up his visor and got off his bike to check on his friend. "Kurumu-chan!-?"

"Shinichi!" Kurumu cried out.

"Che, you again," growled Nagare as he got back to his feet. Shinichi looked at Nagare and watched as he transformed. He still resembled a slug but now his body was humanoid in appearance with greenish, brown skin and slime. His eye stalks were still as creepy as ever. He also wore leather pants and had GIN-SHOCKER's signature belt with the insignia as a belt buckle.

"You're with GIN-SHOCKER," Shinichi observed.

"That's right, and now look at me now!" boasted Nagare. "You may call me Slime Slug from now on!"

When Shinichi saw the state Kurumu was in, with the remains of her clothes hanging off her, he saw red and immediately turned his eyes towards Nagare. The slimy student who'd tried to take advantage of Kurumu had not changed his ways nor learnt his lesson from their last confrontation, and what was worse, Nagare had willingly admitted to joining GIN-SHOCKER.

"Let's Ride: Showa," Shinichi said coldly as he strode towards Slim Slug and clenched his fists. He charged and punched at Slime Slug, only for his fist to slide off once it made contact with his opponent's body. He stumbled forwards and spun around for a kick, only to meet the resistance as his foot just slipped away.

"My slimy body prevents me from taking damage, fool!" Slime Slug boasted. "I can also do this!" He inhaled, his cheeks and throat bloating up before he opened his mouth and spat, firing a ball of slime at Showa. He jumped out of the way and the slime ball struck a tree, completely melting it down. "See? I can even control the acid's intensity so it can only melt clothes like Kurumu-chan's!"

Showa glanced at Kurumu who was now only in her underwear and back at Nagare. His eyes flashed red for a second before reverting back to green. "Let's Ride…!"

"I can handle anything you got!" Slime Slug boasted.

"Super-1!" Showa's body flashed as he assumed the space Rider, Super-1. Charging forward, he called out, "Hot & Cold Hands!" The Hot Hand shot at Nagare's face and unleashed a stream of flames which caused Slime Slug to scream as he was engulfed by it. He rolled around, trying to put out the flames. Showa-Super-1 then pointed the cryogenic spray equipped to his Cold Hand and shot it at Nagare, dousing the flames but freezing his body in the process, except for his head.

Showa resumed his default form and walked towards Nagare who struggled to move but even his Cyborg Yokai body wasn't able to break out of the ice that now covered him. He trembled, both out of cold and fear as Showa formed his Gravity Hammer.

Showa gave Kurumu a look and said, "Look away."

Kurumu, understanding this, closed her eyes.

"WAIT! WAIT!" Slime Slug shouted as Showa raised up the Gravity Hammer. "I CAN TELL YOU THINGS! ANYTHING! I CAN EVEN TELL YOU WHERE THEIR HEADQUARTERS IS! JUST LET ME GO, PLEASE!"

Showa wasn't interested in talking and started to bring the hammer down. However, Slime Slug used a desperate move and shot a stream of acid which hit Showa in the face. The Rider screamed as his faceplate began to burn, the eyepieces damaged, effectively blinding him.

"Shinichi!" Kurumu screamed.

Slime Slug broke free from his icy prison and spat more slime that hit Showa in the chest, sending him reeling. He then knocked Showa to the ground with a punch and stood over him victoriously.

"Look at you now, writhing in the ground in pain," Slime Slug sneered. "Now, prepare to die." He inhaled and bloated up his cheeks and throat to unleash his killing move. Just before he spat out the acid, Showa's eyes turned red and suddenly shot laser blasts right through Slime Slug's chest.

"Gah...!" Slime Slug hacked as he slowly back way. While this was fatal to most other people, he also had regenerative properties that allowed him to heal up the hole in his chest. He snarled at his target and was about to retaliate, but then a black blur hit. It felt like a foot, burying into his side before knocking him away from Showa.

Kurumu looked and saw who the figure was. "Leon?"

Leon looked at Showa, who's eyes had reverted back to green before then. "Are you OK?"

"Just a little sore," said Showa as he got up. His chestplate had been melted and part of his helmet had melted off. "I'm fine now."

"You should go, and take Kurumu with you," Leon advised.

"But this is my fight," Showa countered.

"Now this is my fight, and I'm using my authority as the leader of the Public Safety Committee to dispense justice," Leon told him. "Now go."

Showa was hesitant then looked at the state Kurumu was in. Going to her, he helped her up and guided her to the bike. Slime Slug, seeing this, went to stop them but the tip of Leon's face in front of his face stopped him.

As the Cyclone-X3 raced away, Leon put away his sword and turned to Slime Slug, "So you're one of the three other Riders on our hit list," the Cyborg Youkai sneered.

"Charmed," Leon said sarcastically as he took out his means of transformation. "You must be Nagare. Shinichi warned me about you. So you joined GIN-SHOCKER in retaliation?"

"He ruined my life!" Slime Slug snarled. "He got me expelled!"

"No he didn't, your dick did," Leon frowned. "You couldn't attract the woman you liked so you attempted to rape her instead. And where I come from, people who do such things are scum. Now, enough talk." He pushed the key in and twisted, "Rider Change!"

"KAMEN RIDER NECROS!"

Standing in Leon's place was Kamen Rider Necros and he brandished his Ankh Sword proudly. Slime Slug, enraged that he couldn't have both Kurumu and his revenge, lunged at Necros who swung his blade in response. Thinking his slime barrier would protect him, Slime Slug didn't stop his charge, but he was proven wrong as the blade struck and hit him across the chest, sending him reeling. Necros strode casually towards him, swinging his sword several times, causing sparks to fly when it made contact with Nagare's cyborg body. One last swing sent Slime Slug tumbling. Putting away his sword, Necros took out the Ryuga Rider Key and activated with his Mobirider.

"KAMEN RIDER RYUGA!"

The armor of Kamen Rider Ryuga, Kamen Rider Ryuki's dark mirror twin, replaced Necros'. His armor was black with reinforced gauntlets, boots and torso armor. Mounted on his left forearm was a device called the Drag-Visor. His head was encased in a helmet with a dark, grilled visor that hid his eyes. He wore a belt with a hollow buckle to hold a dark grey rectangular case with a black dragon's face on the front and a slot on the side. He then drew a card from the Advent Deck slotted in his belt and put it into the black Drag-Visor mounted on his left arm. He then closed the Visor to activate the card.

"FINAL VENT!"

A roar was heard and a mechanical black Chinese dragon materialized. It flew around Necros-Ryuga and stood behind him as the black dragon Rider hovered up. He then went into a flying kick pose before a burst of fire from the dragon propelled him like a rocket, covered in black and blue flames. Slime Slug stood up and froze when he saw the attack coming before Necros-Ryuga's kick connected with his chest. Slime Slug was sent flying before he exploded in mid-air due to the force of the attack, his body engulfed by the black and blue flames before he blew up.

Leon reverted back to human form as he landed on the ground with a light tap and looked at the remains of his opponent. "Whether it was up to Shinichi or I to decide what to do didn't matter. The moment you harmed a friend of ours, your fate was sealed," he declared before walking to parts unknown.

Shinichi took Kurumu back to her dorm room. Despite the damage his armor had taken from Nagare's acid, he wasn't visibly wounded. Still, the pain had been real. As they both went through the threshold, Kurumu keeping the jacket draped over her closed, Shinichi shut the door behind them and locked them. He slowly helped Kurumu inside her dorm room.

Kurumu had nearly gotten raped tonight and if Shinichi hadn't been nearby, doing some maintenance on the Cyclone-X3…Shinichi didn't want to think of what might've happened to his friend. She was shaken. Nagare had put her into a helpless position, unable to defend herself, and perfect for him.

Shinichi and Kurumu sat on the bed together. What remained of her clothing was just her underwear and it was barely holding on. Shinichi tried to look anywhere but her. He didn't want to seem like a pervert, even if he was a little, but Kurumu needed to be comforted, not ogled.

Suddenly, the girl wrapped her arms around him and he returned the embrace as she trembled in his arms. "Thank you…" she uttered. "Thank you…you saved me…"

"Of course," he answered softly. "I'll always be there to save you. Always…"

Kurumu looked up at him, his face filled with concern just for her right now. He had that expression on his face whenever he worried for them, and it was focused on her. 'Even after finding out how messed up his life was, he still has time to care…"

Feeling impulsive, Kurumu leaned up and softly kissed his lips. Shinichi didn't protest and allowed Kurumu to do whatever she wanted to feel comforted. Of course, her kiss turned deeper, more needy, and Shinichi responded in kind, kissing her back. They held onto each other, making out, and cheeks were flushed before they parted for breath. Then, they resumed.

Kurumu's hands went to his chest, running up and down it. She felt, so very warm, and she wanted more. Breaking the kiss again, she looked into his eyes, her own violet ones glistening, as she requested softly, "Take me…make me yours…"

Shinichi was stunned by the offer and declined weakly, "I…I don't think it's the right…I mean after…" Kurumu nuzzled his neck.

"Need you…" she whispered. Her bra-clad breasts were pressed against his shirted chest. "Please…for tonight…be mine…and make me yours…"

Shinichi took a sharp intake of breath and caught Kurumu's sent. Was she exuding some kind of pheromone? His mind was in a haze. His sensible side told him to leave before anything happened but his more emotional side told him to stay to comfort her after Nagare tried to rape her.

His emotional side won.

The next morning, Kurumu opened her eyes and gazed at her lover's face. Oh, she felt so happy that she was in the lead against those girls. She was the first to bag him. She definitely had something to write to her mother about. Also, he was just big enough. Maybe it was a result of his genetic enhancements. She wasn't complaining. She stretched and draped her leg and arm over Shinichi's body. Both of them were naked under the cover. She watched as he still slept, tracing a circle around his muscular chest.

Her alarm clock rang, causing Shinichi's eyes slowly fluttered open as he yawned. He reached over to turn it off but Kurumu was faster. "What…?" It took him a while to process the fact that he wasn't in his bed and that he wasn't alone. "Kurumu-chan?"

"Good morning, darling," she purred sultrily as she gave him a deep kiss. She praised, "You were amazing last night. Was I your first?"

"Yeah…" he admitted. Kurumu added that to the scoreboard in her mind. Not only was she the first to sleep with Shinichi, she was the one to officially deflower him. Well, he deflowered her too and he did it so well.

Resting her head on his chest, she listened to his heartbeat. He, however, had other concerns. Mizore, Moka and Yukari would definitely become upset if they learnt about this and Kurumu did love to brag. "Um…Kurumu-chan…about us."

"Yes…?" she asked, grinning like a Cheshire cat.

"How about we keep what happened between the two of us a secret?" he suggested.

"Why?" Kurumu pouted. She didn't think it was such a big deal.

"Well…if the others find out…well…they might murder us," he said, concerned.

"Worried about me, huh?" she asked.

Shinichi could already picture it in his head. Yukari would curse her, Mizore would freeze her, then Moka-sama would shatter her with one of her kicks.

"Yes, I am," he admitted honestly. "I'm worried about myself too." He imagined the same thing happening to him as well and gulped. "I mean…what am I gonna do when I see them today?"

"Well, how about you and I stay in bed and have sex today?" she suggested.

"That's…very tempting," he replied, swallowing saliva. "But I think we should get up and have breakfast before getting ready for school…" Kurumu's warm, naked body was pressed against his and her thigh was rubbing up and down his leg, stimulating him once more. Heck, he was already forming a tent with the covers which Kurumu noticed. She licked her lips. Reaching down, she grasped his shaft causing him to gasp. "Kurumu-chan! Not now!"

"Oh…you can't fool me…" she giggled. "All boys want it all the time."

"That may be true, but now's not one of those times! Now please let go of me!"

"No!"

"Kurumu-chan…!" he whined.

Shinichi was able to sneak out of Kurumu's bedroom after breakfast to run over to his own dorm to switch into his own uniform after a brief shower. Last night's events were pretty vivid in his mind, and not just the sex. Kurumu had been in danger and if he hadn't arrived then she might've been…Then Leon showed up to help.

"I should thank him," thought Shinichi out loud.

Shinichi walked to school and met up with Moka and Mizore at the gate. Suddenly, Yukari appeared and leapt into his arms. He caught her and set her down, smiling at her as he greeted her warmly. Of course there was one last girl left.

She hugged him from behind, making sure to press her soft breasts against his back. "Shinichi…why didn't you walk with me to school today?"

"I was in a hurry," he said. Kurumu pouted sadly but smiled before kissing his cheek and skipping towards the entrance. Shinichi and his friends followed after her towards the show lockers.

Daichi, Chiaki, Shogo and Yokoshima saw how happy the succubus looked.

"Does she seem happier than usual?" Yokoshima asked.

"Meh, she's always like that," Daichi dismissed.

"I think Yokoshima's onto something," Chiaki signed.

"Well, maybe it has something to do with the fact that Shinichi spent the night at her place," said Shogo. The other cyborgs looked at him. "I was doing aerial recon this morning and I saw Shinichi leave her dorm room."

"Wow…he spent a night with a girl," Yokoshima said, impressed.

"Maybe nothing happened," signed Chiaki.

"Dude, come on! When a guy and a girl spend the night together, something always happens!" said Yokoshima.

"Is this from one of those Shiori books too?" Daichi asked.

"Yeah, and call it common sense. Man, Shinichi got laid! Lucky bastard!"

"Keep your voice down," Daichi warned. "We don't wanna cause a rumor to spread."

"Right, right. Gotcha, Dai."

"Now, come on before we're late."

"It's only because you wanna see Nekonome-sensei…" teased Yokoshima. Daichi had a love for animals and because Nekonome-sensei was a Bakeneko Onna, the Pillbug Cyborg would tease his friend about having a crush on her.

"Oh, shut up!" Daichi huffed, adjusting the strap of his guitar case before heading inside.

"You shouldn't rile him up like that," Chiaki advised.

"Hey, he makes it so easy. Now come on, guys! Race ya to class!" Yokoshima dashed off.

"He's such a child…" sighed Shogo as he shook his head.

KAMEN RIDER DATABASE

"Hello again, and welcome to the Kamen Rider Database segment. Today we will be reviewing another Dark Rider," said Leon as he held up his Mobirider and the Ryuga Rider Key. Folding the figure into key form, he flipped his phone open and called, "Rider Change!" before slotting the key into the phone and giving it a twist.

"KAMEN RIDER RYUGA!"

Leon had transformed into Kamen Rider Ryuga.

"Kamen Rider Ryuga is the dark Mirror World twin of Kamen Rider Ryuki. As such, Ryuga resembles Ryuki in all but color and personality. Kamen Rider Ryuga utilizes these items." He put his hand down to the rectangular case lodged in the centre of his belt and drew out a card. He flipped it around, revealing its face. "This is an Advent card, one of many that Ryuga possesses in his Advent Deck. Advent Cards are what allow Ryuga to access his arsenal and activate his final attack." The screen behind him showed Kamen Rider Ryuga performing the Dragon Rider Kick. "By using the Final Vent Card, Ryuga can summon his Contract Beast Dragblacker to execute his signature Rider Kick, the Dragon Rider Kick." He then deactivated the armor which shattered off his body and vanished. "And that's Kamen Rider Ryuga. Tune in next time for another installment of the Kamen Rider Database."
