To Love-Ru: Rito Fulfills the Harem Plan
"Rito, I hate you!" yells Momo, her eyes filled with angry tears.
"Huh?" panics Rito. He and Momo stand in an empty space. Hazy darkness all around them.
"How could you? You'll date Haruna AND Big Sis, but leave me out? Why? Why does Big Sis get special treatment?" says Momo.
"Momo, I-" begins Rito.
"What about me, Rito?" a voice yells from behind. Rito spins around to find Run. Her eyes like daggers, tears streaming down her face. "I told you I loved you just as much as Lala does. Do my feelings mean nothing to you? Do I mean nothing to you?" asks Run.
"Run, it's not like that. I swear," begs Rito.
"Quiet, Rito Yuki," says a chilling voice. Sweat drips down Rito's brow. He slowly turns to see Yami, her eyes filled with hate, her golden hair shaped into blades.
"Yami…" Rito said, stepping back.
"I hate perverted things. But I hate those who break the hearts of others even more. Wouldn't you all agree?" asks Yami.
Suddenly, many girls from Rito's life appear around him, all with the same cold look in their eyes: Yui, Nana, Rin, Mea, Risa, Kyouko, and even Mikan. The ten girls surround Rito, leaving him nowhere to escape.
"Wait, you guys! I-I do care about you, all of you. It's just..." pleads Rito.
"Stop it, Rito," says Momo.
"It's too late, Rito," says Run.
"I should've done this a long time ago. Goodbye, Rito Yuuki," says Yami. Her blades rise into the air, casting their shadows over Rito.
He can only watch, helpless, as the blades slash down on him-!

"Ah!" screams Rito, bolting awake in his bed.
He pants heavily. Sweat soaks his face. He looks around, and realizes he's in his bedroom. The full moon shines outside. It was all just a bad dream. As Rito calms down, he feels something brush against his side. He pulls back the blanket, revealing Momo in her pajamas, still fast asleep despite his earlier outburst. Rito sighs. Of course, she's in my bed again, he thinks.
I hate you, Rito. Her cold words from the dream still ringing in his mind, Rito stares at her for a moment. He shakes his head, knowing such harsh words couldn't possibly be true. Especially because...
I love you, Rito. From the bottom of my heart. He blushes, remembering Momo's confession from a few days ago. Momo stirs in her sleep. Rito gently brushes her hair away from her face. His touch brings a warm smile to Momo, still asleep. Rito can't help but smile himself.
"How bold of you," claims an unseen voice. Rito yelps as a petite black-haired girl emerges from his body like a ghost, looking right up at him with a playful grin. "Fooling around with a pretty girl in her sleep, fufu," says Nemesis.
"Nemesis? I wouldn't dare. And why are you in my body?" whispers Rito so as not to wake Momo.
"I've told you before. My own body is in constant need of energy, and yours is the best source of replenishment. Doing so while you're asleep is just a bonus, fufu," says Nemesis.
"Well, you seem plenty replenished now, so will you please get out of my chest?" says Rito.
"Fine, fine, fufu," replies Nemesis, fully emerging from Rito's body to sit on his bed, wearing a revealing piece of lingerie, making him blush. "I could do without the crazy nightmares anyway," she continues.
"Huh? Wait, you saw that?" asks Rito.
"Every bit. Though crazy as it was, there was some truth to it," says Nemesis.
"What do you mean by that?" asks Rito. Nemesis leans in close and looks him right in the eye, making him blush even harder.
"Rito, don't you think it's about time you fulfilled the harem plan?" asks Nemesis.
"Huh?" asks Rito. "Oh, come on. Not that ag-," Nemesis presses a finger to his lips before he can finish.
"There are an awful lot of girls who love you, including yours truly. I understand you love Haruna Sairenji the most. And now you know she feels the same. Bet that feels like a dream come true. But you also love Princess Lala. And the thought of only being with Haruna and leaving Lala behind saddens you, doesn't it?" asks Nemesis.
"Well, uh…" says Rito.
"But the two of them are okay with sharing you," continues Nemesis. "I'd be okay with sharing you as well. And if you spoke to those other girls from that dream of yours, I'm sure they'd feel the same. And if they don't, I'm positive they'd come around. After all, having a piece of you is better than not having any of you at all. That's the whole point of the harem plan. But back at school, you said that a harem was impossible. Care to elaborate?" she asks.
Rito can tell from her eyes just how serious she is. She wants an answer, and he's not going back to sleep until he gives her one. He sighs, gets out of bed and pulls the blanket back over Momo.
"Because I'm an earthling, Nemesis. And polygamy isn't something earthlings practice," says Rito.
"But you may not be an earthling for much longer," says Nemesis. "If you stick with Lala, you can become the king of Deviluke. In which case, you can have as many women as you want. You already spoke with that pipsqueak King Gid about taking over for him; he challenged you to become a man worthy of the role, and you accepted. Isn't that why you did all that long-distance running training with Haruna way back when?" she asks.
"I know, I know," says Rito as he sits in the chair by his desk. "But…all I wanted was a normal life here on Earth. I wanted to make Haruna my girlfriend. The two of us would go on dates, then we'd graduate, get jobs, get a house, get married, start a family, and spend the rest of our lives together. Just a normal, happy, earthling life," he says.
"Sounds wonderful. So do it," says Nemesis.
"Eh?" replies Rito.
"Do it. It's your decision, your life, your future. If you want to spend it with Haruna, go on and make it happen. However, you'll have to leave Lala out of it," warns Nemesis.
"What? Why?" protests Rito.
"Because it's not fair, Rito," explains Nemesis. "Whether you like it or not, being with Haruna means rejecting all the other girls. Breaking their hearts is bad enough. But how do you think they'll react when you tell them you're still gonna keep Lala as well?" she asks.
Before Rito can respond, Nemesis jumps out of bed, and stomps towards him. "You don't want a harem. But you do want two specific girls, and then you'll just dismiss the rest of us like trash. Like I said, not fair. And if you go through with that plan, who knows? That crazy nightmare of yours might just come true, fufu," says Nemesis.
"But...but then…what am I supposed to do?" asks Rito. Nemesis holds up three fingers.
"The way I see it, you've got three options. Number one, you date Haruna and only Haruna. Live the normal life you so desperately want, and reject Lala and the rest. They'll be hurt. Some maybe hurt forever and resent you both. That's just how it is. Also, you tell King Gid that since you're not marrying Lala, you won't be succeeding him as the next king of Deviluke. And knowing him, he'll be so furious he might just vaporize you and this whole planet," says Nemesis.
Yikes. That actually is something that hotheaded king might do, thinks Rito.
"Number two," continues Nemesis. "You choose no one. Picking one or two girls means hurting the rest. If you want to avoid that, your best bet is to pick none of them and live the rest of your life alone. It's the only way you'll spare all of them from a great deal of pain, but you may end up bringing a great deal of it onto yourself. Is that what you want, Rito? Do you want to be alone?" she asks.
Rito lowers his head. He doesn't say anything for a moment. Then he shakes his head.
"That leaves option number three," says Nemesis with a smile. "The harem plan. You marry Lala, and become the king of Deviluke. As king, where polygamy is as practiced as breathing, you can have Haruna, Lala and all the girls you want. I'm not talking an entire planet of women, as fun as that would be, fufu. Just the girls who matter the most to you. Such as girls like me, who love you, but you don't love back. I'm sure you can grow to love us over time," she says.
"Nemesis…" say Rito, blushing. Nemesis paces around the room.
"Now, some conditions will have to be met. For instance, the other girls will have to agree to this plan. And you'll have to make your intentions clear," says Nemesis.
"What intentions?" asks Rito.
"As king, you're gonna be very busy. If you can't spend equal amounts of time with your future wives, you'll have to reassure them all how much you love them during the times you can spend with them. And you'll have to remind Haruna that no matter how many girls you marry, you will always love her the most," explains Nemesis.
"But that's…there's just no way I can do any of that. There's no way I can make them all happy. I'm nothing special. I'm just one guy," sulks Rito.
"That's not true, Rito," says another voice. Rito and Nemesis look to see Momo, wide awake and sitting in bed with a smile.
"Momo?" says Rito.
"I had a feeling you were listening, fufu," says Nemesis. Momo steps out of bed and walks over to Rito.
"Yes, I was listening. And as much as I hate to admit it, Nemesis has a point. The harem plan would be your best course of action, Rito," says Momo.
"But, I…" says Rito. Momo leans down and wraps her arms around him.
"You are special, Rito. You're the kindest boy I know. Even though you're just one guy, I believe you have the power to make everyone happy, both as a king and a lover. So please, don't doubt yourself. And don't worry. Whatever choice you make, know that I will always love you," confesses Momo.
"Momo…" says Rito, blushing harder. Just then, Nemesis throws her arms around Rito, hugging his right side while Momo hugs his left.
"That goes for me too, Rito. I'll love you and keep messing with you forever, fufu," says Nemesis.
"Hey, back off," says Momo. She and Nemesis keep hugging Rito, shoving each other, fighting for dominance. "He's mine!" she yells.
"Hey, wait, you two," panics Rito, helpless as the two half-naked girls hug and fight over him. The chair wobbles. "If you keep this up-ahh!" He shrieks as he falls out of the chair, and they all crash onto the floor. Rito's right hand lands on Nemesis' breast, and his left lands on Momo's. The two girls moan in pleasure as he accidentally squeezes them.
"Rito! Are you alright?" says a voice from out in the hall. The door opens, and in walks Mikan. "I heard a loud noise, and-"
She stops when she sees the three of them on the floor; Rito on top of Momo and Nemesis, his hands on their breasts.
"Mikan!" says Rito, freaking out, removing his hands. "Wait! This isn't what it looks like, I swear," he says.
"Good grief," sighs Mikan, rubbing her head.

An alien spaceship flies through outer space, the words DARK ROVER on its hull.
Inside, a figure cloaked in shadow sits in front of a bunch of monitors, all showing various videos of life on Earth. The central monitor displays a video of a flustered Rito walking arm-in-arm with a cheerful Lala.
"You think you can take the throne from me, you little worm?" says an unseen, sinister voice.
BAM! – an enormous fist slams into the screen showing Rito's face, destroying it.
The figure stands, revealing his form: a six-foot tall, muscular, chrome-blue, humanoid alien with augmented mechanical parts; half-alien, half-robot.
His name is Stem.
"Never," he says.
Author's Note: Hello, and thank you for reading. The To Love-Ru manga ending left me with too many questions, so I wanted to write this fanfic as a means of self-answering. I also wanted to flesh out Rito as more of an active protagonist seeking a harem rather than just every girl around him trying to get with him. But that wasn't enough, so I included my own villain in the story as well; hope he doesn't disappoint.
