CH 10
Kahlua was having a great time shopping. Leaving the toy store with bulging bags filled with stuffed animals. Her, Mizore and Betty got out on the sidewalk, Kahlua happily skipping along. Heading back to the outdoor café where Kurumu, Monica and Josette were waiting with a huge pile of store bags full of clothes, jewelry and knick-knacks around them.
Seeing their haul, Kurumu frowned. When they got close, she called, "Hey! Moka said no more than we can carry! What did you do, but every stuffed animal in the store?"
"There are some left on the shelves," Mizore intoned.
"Very few," Betty said with a grin.
"We can have a grand tea party now!" Kahlua boasted.
"Just HOW are we going to carry all this stuff back?" Kurumu asked.
Kahlua shrugged. "We'll think of something," she said happily.
That something was taking the handles in their bags, and sliding the bags up their arms. The 'stuffed animal' girls were loaded down first with bags hanging down up past their elbows. Kuurmu wasn't much better, hers didn't quite make her elbows. They all had at least 15 bags each. Even Chiho was loaded down with things she got for herself and Uzume, including new animal costumes.
Walking down the street, taking up most of the sidewalk as other people stared at them, they went to the train station to find they couldn't get into the doors carrying so much.
Pushing in sideways, Mizore discovered how to get in. They were stopped at the turnstiles.
"You can't get on the train with all that," the man there said.
"What do we do then?" Kuurmu asked.
"Where do you have to go?" he asked.
"The top of the MBI building.," Kurumu told him.
"All that stuff with never fit onto the elevators, unless they have a freight elevator," he told her.
"Ohhhh!" Kahlua whined.
"We'll figure it out!" Kumuru told her. She asked the man, "Can we call a big taxi from here?"
Seeing all their arms covered in bags, he said, "I'll call for you. I think you may need two or three."
Working their way back out of the train station doors, they waited for the cabs. In the end, it took three van sized cabs to get them back to the MBI building. Kurumu went in and checked, no fright elevators to the top floor. They were going to have to go up two at a time.
.
From her father, Moka found out who to bribe to get the construction permits and who at the insurance company to bride to ensure they had the contracts. By the time dinner came, she had both and even got the Aono Construction Company officially registered to do business. At dinner, she let Tsukune know who the workers were going to be.
Knowing the girls had bought a ton of stuff to put away, Tsukune told Ruby, "After dinner, take Yukari, Tanya, Josette, Monica and Summer back to the castle so you can put all your stuff away. Tomorrow, all of you are joining Moka's construction company and are going to rebuild Kyoko's house."
"You're going build me a new house?" Kyoko asked.
"What castle?" Koji asked as he eyed his son.
Kurumu spoke up and said, "Why don't we all go? We all have stuff to put away, and you can show your parents our castle too!"
"After graduation the school is all but vacant so that should be fine," Moka agreed.
"Can me and Karasuba play?" Kahlua asked brightly.
"We have new stuffed animals, I want to play first," Mizore stated.
"Really?" Kahlua asked.
"Um!" Mizore grunted with a nod.
"Me too!" Betty said.
"Tsukune, you have a castle?" Koji asked. "A real CASTLE?"
"We do," Moka said. "Tsukune had it built for me."
"Ruby and Yukari did a fine job on it too," Tsukune said proudly.
With all his gorgeous wives, this mansion and his own castle, Koji was beginning to get very jealous of his son. HE should have gone to this monster school!
.
In a short time, The girls had racked up a huge pile of purchases. Ruby got Tsukune, Moka, Kyoko and his parents through first, then held the portal open so all the girls could made trips through with all their new stuff.
Leading his parents and Kyoko through their castle, Tsukune noted their reactions to the large rooms they walked through. Kasumi eyed the room, fixtures, statues along the walls and chandeliers in disbelief. Koji's mouth hung open as he stared at all the richness around him, as did Kyoko. By the time they got up to the second floor balcony off the library, Koji finally muttered 'Unbelievable"
Tsukune had to grin at his father's look of awe. "Dad, Mom, those building over there are the school," he said pointing to them.
Kyoko pointed and said, "Moka, that building right there. Isn't that the one where you jumped me over all those big monsters when they were after me?"
"It is," Moka agreed. She pointed out a path through a break in the trees and said, "Down there, you can see part of the path where you helped us get rid of the fairy that had that mirror that was causing so much trouble."
Kasumi turned to Kyoko. "That happened to you … here?"
"It did!" Kyoko replied. "At first I was really scared, but Moka saved me and I was able to help them stop the mass of chaos that was going on. They got me away from the school." In a serious tone, Kyoko said, "Auntie, you DO NOT want to get near that school, trust me on this."
"You're safe here," Moka assured Kasumi. "The students have mostly gone home, and they all know to stay away from our castle."
"That is good to hear," Kasumi said in relief.
.
Upon completion of the tour, and all the girls getting their new purchases put away, Tsukune was ready to take his parents and Kyoko back to Tokyo. Kahlua brought a pair of her new stuffed animals to come back with, as did Mizore and Betty. Tsukune noted that Kahlua was beaming bright smiles at everyone.
Once back in Tokyo, Moka had Ruby make them outfits for work. Ruby started with her yellow hard hat, Moka got a red one, everyone else got white hard hats. She then conjured cotton work shirts, for them, all blue (since they would be blue collar workers), and tan jackets that read 'Aono Construction' across the backs. Heavy work gloves, blue jeans and work boots.
Dressed and collected together, Ruby thrust her wand in the air and proudly announced, "Master The Aono construction crew is ready to work!"
"Ruby, I have to go get the paperwork before we start, and the offices are closed," Moka reminded her. "We're done for the day."
Ruby nodded. "All right, they we begin in the morning after breakfast!" she announced.
"We can't be seen, we'll start when the sun goes down," Moka corrected her.
Ruby frowned a bit then said, "You're right Moka." To the other girls she said, "Get some rest today, tonight, we're building houses!" She then went over to Tsukune. Folding her hands in front of her, she bowed her head and meekly said, "Sorry for the delay Master. If you wish to punish me, that is your right."
Tsukune's father eyed him heavily. Right, no whipping the slave while father or mother was present. Probably a real good idea. "Ruby, you need rest also. You don't want to be tired for tomorrow tonight."
"Yes Master," she said with a sigh and sagging shoulders.
Feeling a bit bad, Tsukune grabbed her shoulders and pulled her close for a kiss on her cheek. He also whispered in her ear, "No punishment until my folks are back home."
Ruby brightened up. "I will make it happen, Master!" she said with a determined look in her eye.
.
That night, Kalua, Mizore and Betty played 'tea party' then 'sleepover' with their new toys. As they settled in with their stuffed animals in bed with them, Kahlua's face was still aglow with happiness. She had so many friends now!
That night also, Kasumi spend some time in the kitchen with Kurumu to share recipes and modifications to them to enhance the flavor of foods. They got so involved with swapping recipes and talking about food, Koji headed off to bed alone.
Snuggled into the big bed by himself, Koji was drifting off to sleep and felt the bed depress. Right, Kasumi was finally coming to bed. Then there were kisses on his back and a hand gently petted his hip. Koji smiled. He rolled over on his back with the help of a soft, firm leg. She climbed on him and kissed him gently as she slid down his shorts. Ohhh, play time!
She was rather aggressive, rubbing her bare groin against him as they kissed, which got him hard in no time. She even stroked him and guided him into her soft moistness. Wow, something got Kasumi hot, he thought. He pushed up sinking into her wonderful folds of heat. As she rode him, he reached up to fondle her breast, and bumped into the side of a breast that was much larger than Kasumi's pert little nips.
Koji's eyes shot open. He pulled back from the kiss as he felt the large size of her breast. He kneaded the large orb. It was really big and soft.
"Yes, suckle on me," she whispered.
The head above him outlined in the dark had long ears sticking out the top of her head as she moved back and forth, making those heavy breasts sway.
This was NOT Kasumi! "Ahhh," He meant to say something, but with a large breast in his hand, and her riding him, he wasn't able to get anything out of his mouth.
She moved up some to plant a nipple on his lips. "Suck me, please," she whined softly
He couldn't stop humping her back, THIS WASN'T KASUMI! his brain cried. But damn, she felt so good! But this wasn't Kasumi! He tested her nipple and … yum. She cupped the back of his head and left out a very sexy sounding coo, and began humping him faster.
He should stop this! He couldn't stop, Damn this was good, but this wasn't Kasumi! Koji's body warred with his logic and honor as a husband as the soft gasps of the girl became quicker. He felt an orgasm coming on, as she cried out her own softly and slowed down. His brain gave up the fight, his body won as he thrust up into her and blew his own load as she shuddered in orgasm. At this point, he wanted nothing more than to keep thrusting into her. He managed another almost minute before he relaxed and she collapsed onto him and hugged him tight.
"Thank you, Master," she said softly, hugging him and pressing those large breasts into him.
Dizzy from the surprise encounter, Koji managed to say, "Thank you. Ummm, who are you?"
"Jessica, Master," she said, then slid to his side and cuddled up with him.
Koji held her just because she felt fantastic. Plus, he didn't know what else to do.
Then the door opened and Kasumi came in and turned the light on. Koji could only stare in shock as Kasumi stared down on Koji in shock, who holding the naked rabbit girl as she cuddled tight against him.
Jessica squinted and said, "Please turn the light off."
"KOJI!" Kasumi roared.
.
In the morning, Kurumu, Chiho and Uzume got breakfast ready as normal. Mizore came down to breakfast not feeling good. She had to run off and use the bathroom. When she got back, Yukari performed a spell to see what was wrong with her as everyone gathered.
Yukari passed her wand over Mizore then her face lit up. "Mizore, You're pregnant!" she cried.
"YA-HOOO!" Kurumu yelled. "Mizore has her baby!"
Mizore flushed as Moka, Tsukune, Ruby, Kurumu and Kahlua came over to hug and congratulate her. Flushing with joy, Mizore said in her flat tone, "Tsukune, we must go tell mother."
"We will go visit her the moment we can," he promised.
"Baby stuff!" Kurumu cried, pointing at Mizore. "We need to go shopping!"
"Um," Mizore grunted with a nod.
Moka came up and clasped Tsukune's hand and announced, "Many of us are going to be busy with building houses tonight. There is no immediate need for baby clothes, but there is need for just about everything else for a nursery. Kurumu, focus on nursery items, and make sure you don't loose track of the time."
Kurumu gave her a thumbs up. "We will! Now, breakfast everyone, we got important things to do!"
Tsukune noticed his parents when they came down. Actually, his mother stomped in first, not looking happy. His father followed a safe distance behind, looking very meek. Obviously, something happened.
"Ahh, Mom, is everything OK?" Tsukune asked.
Kasumi cast him a dark look, then in a cold tone, said, "Ask your Father."
Koji turned red. He tried to hold the chair for Kasumi, but she yanked it out and sat, ignoring him.
The rabbit girl appeared. Running over to Tsukune, she bowed repeatedly as she said, "I am so sorry! So very sorry I got the wrong room! Please forgive me!"
"Huh?" Tsukune wondered aloud.
"I thought it was your room, Master, I really did, but your mother kicked me out!" she cried as she continued to bow.
Tsukune noticed his Mother glared at the girl. His Father was trying not to see her. "Oh no," he said in defeat. He got the picture. His Father had been the victim of a horny Rabbit girl.
"Tsukune," Kasumi said in her cold voice. "Keep your … whatever they are, OUT of our room!"
"Yes, Sorry," Tsukune said, bowing to her automatically. "It won't happen again. Honest. She knows better now, don't you, Jessica?"
"I'm really sorry, I just …. Couldn't help myself, I thought it was your room, Master!" Jessica cried.
"You sneak into people's bedrooms at night?" Moka asked in a heavy tone.
"OH no!" Jessica cried, fists clenched against her chest, "Master said I could."
"When was this?" Tsukune asked.
Jessica gaped at him pleadingly. "When you told us we can work for you. You said you'd take care of my needs!"
"I wasn't aware that sex was one of your needs," Tsukune replied. "You could have been a little clearer."
"Tsukune, rabbit yokai do need fairly frequent sex," Moka told him. "She needs a boyfriend, the faster the better."
"I'll go talk to Minato, I'm sure he knows someone," Tsukune told her. By how angry his mother looked, Tsukune knew they needed to get those houses built as fast as possible.
.
Due to the work they were dong tonight, Moka had her construction crew take it easy for the day. While Tsukune went to See Minato about a boyfriend for Jessica, Kahlua, and Betty played tea party, introducing all their new stuffed animal friend to each other. Kasumi spent her time shopping for baby furniture with Kurumu to get away from Koji.
Knowing Kasumi was very angry with Koji, Kurumu brought up the subject while looking at cribs. "Mother Kasumi, don't be too angry at your husband," Kurumu said gently. "Jessica made a mistake, and some of us can be … very persuasive. It's not his fault."
Kasumi frowned deeply as she inspected the well made wooden crib. "I have to question Koji's motive in not getting her out of our room," she said firmly.
"I am sure she compelled him. He didn't have much choice in the matter," Kurumu told her.
"You can to that?" Kasumi asked curiously. "I mean, make someone do things against their will?"
"Not against their will exactly," Kurumu explained, "It's more like guiding their will in the direction we want it to go. Say for instance, Jessica needed male attention, which rabbit girls do. If she was desperate enough .." Kurumu let her words fall off.
"You mean she was in heat and needed a male."
"Yes. Tsukune will make sure that doesn't happen again, and Moka will get your house rebuilt very soon so you can go home," Kurumu assure her.
Kasumi noted the price tag on the crib. "This is expensive," she said.
"No matter, I'm sure Mizore will like it. I'll get the light blue sheets and the blankets for it too." Kurumu replied.
Kasumi eyed Kurumu and asked, "May I ask what your relationship is with Tsukune?"
Kurumu grinned and said, "He is my Destined One. The only one for me. I'm not happy that I have to share him, but at least it's with all my friends." Casting Kasumi a wider smile, she added, "And I am happy Moka didn't really die. We were all upset thinking she did. Tsukune was … shattered. He lost himself, and we had a hard time convincing him he had to keep living."
"When was this?" Kasumi asked.
"A few months ago. We had to go … fight a real bad threat. We all went to stop this thing from destroying everything we know. During the battle, Moka was tore up pretty bad, bleeding all over the place. Tsukune lost it and charged that thing, insane with anger and grief. He managed to kill it, and was badly wounded himself." Kurumu explained as she looked at nothing. "Ruby told us Moka died, and Tsukune couldn't take it. We had to bandage him up ourselves, he ignored the fact he was bleeding and in bad shape. We'd lost Moka, if Tsukune died, I would too, just from a broken heart. That whole thing was horrible."
"You fought wars in school," Kasumi said, beginning to understand what really went on.
"Yeah," Kurumu said vacantly. She then perked up and said, "Hey, Moka was revived and that's all over now," she said brightly. "Mizore is going to have her baby, and I have my Destined One."
"Tsukune has three wives," Kasumi reminded her sourly.
"You don't get it," Kurumu told her. "Moka and Mizore are my close friends. So I have to share Tsukune. That's fine we're all together. I know Tsukune loves Moka and Mizore. He loves me too. He also takes his responsibilities very seriously. He's the most kind hearted and understanding person I have ever met. That's one of the reasons I will never leave him and take care of him and my friends the best I can. I also know that if we meet another big challenge, we will face it together, and together we will win."
Looking at the stunned Kasumi, Kurumu said, "I know Tsukune gets some of that devotion from you and his father. Honestly, if a nomal human learned half of what you have discovered about us, they would run away, screaming. You haven't, neither has Koji. You are still supporting Tsukune, even though he is mixed up with a bunch of yokai like us. That says much for your character. I can see why Tsukune is such a wonderful person."
Kasumi understood they had gone through hell. All of them. That would also explain why they were so close. She drew Kurumu into a hug then asked, "Dear, what's the story on Jessica? Why is she and those other girls with you?"
"Oh. They were slaves. When their masters died, the would have been drained of their blood and killed. Tsukune didn't want to see them die, so he brought them back and gave them jobs so they could live a little better," Kurumu replied. "They have a chance to be happy now."
Yes, her son saved them, Kasume thought. She also had some thinking to do.
.
Dusk came in the destroyed town where Tsukune's parents live. After the incident of Jessica climbing in bed with Koji, Moka decided their house needed to be rebuilt first.
Ruby appeared, made sure no one was around, then motioned every one else through the portal. Dressed in their construction clothes, a few girls brought signs on posts and put them up where the fence for the property used to be. While they held them up, Moka hammered the signs into place, announcing this was the Aono Construction company.
Ruby waved her wand and put the fence back up first. Inside the yard, she conjured up a box truck with Aono Construction on the doors. They sat in the back and had the dinner Kurumu packed for them while they waited for it to get dark. Once Moka and Ruby was sure the area was vacant, Ruby performed her reconstructing spell. The debris of the house lifted up and came back together. Ruby conjured a generator to run electricity into the house. They went in and made sure everything was intact, then took the debris from other houses that landed in the yard, out to the street to be gotten rid of. The debris clearing took most of their time.
Ruby made an addition to the house. At the end of the hallway on the first floor that was a blank wall, she made a door with a portal straight to the Tokyo mansion. Moka opened the vehicle gate and drove the truck out so the cab was sticking out onto the sidewalk. They then locked the house, shut the lights off and returned to the mansion where Ruby made another door-portal straight back to the Aono's house. They were done by 5 AM , just before the sun was rising.
.
In the morning, Koji got up, noting Kasumi wasn't here. Right, she was fuming mad at him. He was sorely hoping he hadn't ruined their marriage. Yes, he'd screwed up bad. He tried apologizing and begging Kasumi for forgiveness, but she had turned a deaf ear to him. He sat up, desperately wishing the other night hadn't happened.
Kasumi peeked in, then flung the door open. "In here." she said firmly.
Jessica came in still in her construction clothes, hands folded in front of her, head down and her ears bent over meekly. Kasumi guided her by the arm and made her stand at the foot of the bed.
Firmly, Kasumi stated, "Young lady, it is VERY improper to seek out random men to fulfill your sexual needs! There are names for women like that and they are not good ones!"
"Yes, Ma'am," Jessica replied as she shrunk in place.
"And YOU!" Kasumi barked, pointing a finger at her husband, making him cringe, "Taking advantage of Jessica also carries responsibility!"
"Kasumi, I'm sorry I let that happen," he pleaded.
"You did, and now you must take responsibility for it," Kasumi said firmly.
Koji paled, "Please, Kasumi, don't … leave me," he begged.
"I don't plan on leaving, but you are responsible for Jessica here," Kasumi stated. "This young woman has had a hard life, and needs someone she can depend on. You took on the task of satisfying her needs, so to suddenly stop would be dishonorable and force her to seek out others."
Koji stared at his wife. Jessica looked up at her.
"Kasumi? What are you saying?' he asked tentatively.
"Jessica needs you," Kasumi told him. "Moka finished our house last night, we can go home as soon as the inspectors are done. I talked to Moka and Tsukune this morning. It's fine with them if she commutes between here and our house."
"It's finished already?" he asked in a squeak, not wanting to talk about Jessica.
"It is. Soon they will be doing Kyoko's house," Kasumi told him. "Kyoko can have Tsukune's old room, and Jessica can have the spare room until then." She then turned to Jessica and said, "When you need to, you can satisfy your … urges, BUT! Only when you must. Is that understood?"
Jessica's ears popped up. "I can?"
Kasumi nodded.
Jessica rushed in to hug her. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" she cried.
Koji gaped at Kasumi. "Ahhh, dear? Why?" he asked, confused.
Kasumi explained, "Tsukune is already over burdened with women. I am agreeing to this to help him out and be sure that Jessica here is a proper lady and not a harlot who goes seeking out many men. As I said, Koji, you have taken responsibility for her."
Koji's jaw worked and nothing came out. Part of him wanted to jump for joy, the other part reminded him that would be cheating on his wife. "But…" he finally got out.
"But nothing!" Kasumi stated. "If your son can handle a half dozen women, you should be able to handle one extra. Koji, this is for Tsukune and Jessica. As I said also, you have taken responsibility for her. Do not let her down."
"OK," he said weakly.
.
Ruby explained the portals here in the mansion and the one in their hallway at home. Koji and Kasumi went though the doors with Jessica tagging along.
Koji was shocked that not only was their home rebuild, it was exactly as they left it. All the furniture, even Kasumi's knick-knacks were on the shelf in the living room.
"It's just like we left it," Kasumi said in wonder. "They did this in one night."
"It doesn't seem possible," Koji added. "But I guess they can perform miracles."
"Do you want me to start cleaning … or something?" Jessica asked.
"No, dear, you work for Tsukune, not us. You are just going to live here," Kasumi said vacantly as she noted all the curtains and rugs were in place also.
"That is, if you want to," Koji added.
"Thank you. So many wonderful things are happening to me," Jessica said meekly and sniffled. She then ran over to scoop Kasumi and Koji together in a hug. "So wonderful!" she sniffled.
.
The town inspector was shocked that a house had already been rebuilt. He checked it out completely. It was solid and complete. He also noted the truck that was there. He wasn't familiar with the Aono Construction company, but apparently they worked fast and did a good job. The town hall was a wreck as well. He contacted the town supervisor and the Mayor to see about hiring this new company to repair their own buildings.
A couple days later, another small house was ready for inspection. Again, it was the Aono Construction company who had rebuilt it.
.
"Tsukune, we have three new contracts," Moka said as she joined him in the garden at the mansion. Handing him her notes, she said, "The town hall, the maintenance building and the city garage. We also got paid for your parent's house from the insurance company, and Kyoko's insurance company paid up with a little coaxing."
"That's great," Tsukune agreed. "No one has figure out how you're doing it?"
"No, we were careful no one saw. Now that your folks are home, Ruby does need some rewards," she added.
"She does," he agreed.
"With the insurance money, I'm going to buy a couple more trucks to make our construction method look more normal. The town hall, especially. That is very visible," Moka said. "Since your father is a purchasing agent, and his company will not be in business for months, he agreed to buy what we need. Aono Construction is registered as separate from MBI, so I will be keeping separate books for it."
"Makes sense," Tsukune agreed. "So, will Ruby and the girls need to be paid from the Construction company too? MBI can give loans out to help wherever it's needed."
Moka grinned and said, "We can work the numbers to make them realistic. Other than pay, and the cost of the trucks, we're not spending any money. Though we will be on paper, with receipts."
.
Tsukune decided to do something different for Ruby. He made sure she was directing her bevy of maids and snuck down into her room. He took apart the frame and reassembled, keeping in mind what seemed to excite her the most. The rack was horizontal now with posts to hold her arms and legs, and a three cross bars to hold her. Looking into her red closets with the black iron strips along the edge, he got the cuffs and chain out. Searching the drawers, he also found a coil of black rope and clips he didn't know what they were for. He also found clips that had small batteries in them. He turned one on, it vibrated. Hmm, that had to be used for something.
He bypassed the skewer looking things, he didn't want to really hurt Ruby. Same thing with those small clips, the ends had sharp pointy teeth. Ruby enjoyed the flail on her, and there was a leather strap he felt safe using. There were leather strips he could try and figure out how to use.
The things he planned on using, he left on a small table to the side of the frame. He managed to slip out of Ruby's room unseen.
Tonight the construction crew wasn't working, he'd give Ruby some reward. Tsukune went to the MBI meeting. Minato and his mother had a solid grip on the business, no worries there. Takami also seemed to be happy running MBI in his stead. They were the medical machine giant in Japan, were selling to eight other countries, and making lots of money.
The one thing Minato seemed to be lacking though, was male friends. Most of the boys he knew were all jealous of his own harem of busty girls and wouldn't talk to him. So much for plans of getting Jessica a boyfriend.
Heading to his parent's house to see how they were doing, Tsukune was surprised to see his mother and Jessica in the kitchen. He was sure his mother was going to wring rabbit girl's neck.
"How's it going, Mom?" he asked.
Kasumi smiled. "We're doing fine. "I'm teaching Jessica how to cook. She picks up pretty fast. Your father's out helping to clean up the neighborhood. Earlier we've had people coming to ask if you could rebuilt their houses also. You'd be surprised at the wait times people are getting! It's going to be months before companies will even put in an estimate, let alone start work!"
"I'll see what we can do about that," Tsukune said. "Jessica, how are you doing?"
Jessica cast him bright smile and said, "GREAT!" as she bounced in place. "Kasumi had been so nice to me and teaching me how to cook, and both her and Koji accept me!"
"Jessica will be living with us," Kasumi explained.
Tsukune smiled, it looked like his mother found a friend. "That is good news," he agreed. "I'm going to find Dad so I can let Moka know where to put bids in."
Going out, it wasn't hard to find the group clearing out a lot a couple doors down. As soon as Koji let people know Tsukune had the construction company that rebuilt his house, he was swamped with requests. 18 houses, two stores and 3 apartment buildings in their immediate area. Someone had brought a note pad so they could write the addresses, and who the insurance companies were for each of them. They were also eager to get rid of the garbage.
"How long's this gonna take?" a storeowner asked.
"Not sure," Tsukune said with a shrug. "One day, a couple weeks, the crew's been very busy lately."
The old man frowned a him and asked, "You got a huge crew?"
"Just efficient. I'll have signs put up o the lots as soon as we can get the contracts," Tsukune told him. "You don't have to bother cleaning up, either, my crew will take care of that. Everything we can find that was in your house, we'll put back in place."
"Sounds too good to be true," another man said.
"He will do it," Koji insisted. He put our house right back to where it was before the storm. Curtains and rugs included!"
"We'll get to them as fast as we can," Tsukune said. "I have to go let the crew know where they'll be working next." He waved and took the list back to the mansion to let Moka know so she could get the contracts. Passing through his parent's house, he noted his mother and Jessica were still in the kitchen, and he heard chuckles from them. He didn't know why they were getting along good, but he was glad they were.
