Chapter 6: Playing in the Bath

So, I guess 'this is it' in a way.

One would argue that my previous words, those at the end of the previous journal entry, would translate into me getting laid with Kuroka. After all, that's pretty much the dream for any cat-girl lover. Kuroka was gorgeous, there was no denying it, and she wasn't against sex. Quite the opposite in that last regard. If anyone had to bring up a character in DxD that was confident while being a pervert, Kuroka would make the list. But no, that's not what happened even though the girl made some attempt in that regard.

Not outright sex but... she was taking steps after a few weeks of being in my house. I think that after just a month or two of being around me she was comfortable enough to not be too frightened by repercussions. After all, I wasn't outright scolding her for her behavior despite the fact I did chide her in some awkward circumstances. So, instead of listing out the specific bit themselves, how about I just describe the standard day of having Kuroka at my house?

If she wasn't out of town for some assignments, Kuroka would wake up in my bed. She would be under the sheets, hugging close to me as her nude frame pressed onto my clothed one for warmth. It had been a cause of concern for a while since I didn't know how much her devil biology kept her from suffering the cold, but she was keen to assure me that it wasn't bad enough to be concerned about it. And she appreciated the fact I asked. I could tell that was what enabled her to be more confident to be open towards me considering the theme I focused on with these circumstances.

Now, the next bit was quite straightforward: breakfast was mostly calm. The girl would go for a simple shirt that barely covered her midriff and a pair of shorts as we went through the early day session. She would switch to something a little more conservative around lunchtime, but never waste a chance to play with her 'strengths' as her curves were quite highlighted by her skimpy clothes. Something I noticed, and something she noticed that I noticed.

It was a cat-and-mouse situation at times, but I reckon it could have been worse had she been a bit more forward in that regard. Despite that being a flag for how things could escalate further if I made the wrong step, I just couldn't help but accept the fact it wasn't that bad. She wasn't pushy about it, and most of her flirting was either 'warranted' by some conversations we engaged that started with simple topics, or just caused by some ill-placed glance to her chest and rear.

Not my fault for being a guy that likes girls. But definitely my fault for being so permissive when she was being a bit too frisky for my liking.

After dealing with Issei and his group, with Reya spending time sparring words and ideas against Kuroka on how a girl should behave and with both the brunet and blond that were her friends cheering for the cat-fight, it would be time for a bath. And that's where things tended to get really intimate. One would think 'Oh my God, she is going to try something there'. Which, truth be told, she did. Frequently so. She would enter the bathroom uninvited after a while, ignoring my complaining regarding her eagerness to spend time around me 'to this degree', and sitting right in front of me.

Kuroka's smug look was predicted, the same was her remarks about her body, but also mine. I could see she lusted a bit after it, but refrained from going any further. It was a constant 'how much can I push John?' and this was the best she could pull after a month. Many would just prefer getting their bones jumped at this point, but I didn't plan to do so. Not when it could be too risky with how 'distrusting' she was on 'cool and strong' guys. There was just a type of people Kuroka didn't like. Strong is fine, she reaffirmed her interest in strong males, but she had also added she was selective even in that regard. And I could tell it was tied to her previous living conditions. I didn't press on it, we were both aware of that instance and yet I saw no reason to bring up some unpleasant past out of nowhere.

The baths were nonetheless... intense. The girl would go on with the same script and it became natural answering to those.

"Nyah, can you please wash my back, John~?"

I would shrug or give a quiet 'yes'. She would turn around and let me go through this. When this first started, the young woman was tense. She thought I would just jump at the occasion to go for more. But I wouldn't. I would focus on not straying too far from the rear, never getting too close to her sides but also her lower section where her tails cheekily twirled and tended to pat at my arms while I was moving around. Despite my efforts, that would still be enough to leave her slightly aroused from the petite blush appearing on her cheeks and the long-drawn breaths coming from her.

At times she would ask a specific query. "I-If you want... I wouldn't mind if you go a bit more."

I would say yes at that too, but leave her pouting as that just meant massaging her shoulder and neck. She absolutely loved that, even as I went for chin-scratches that seemed to leave her purring. I knew what she really wanted, but she wasn't pushing for it, and I saw no reason to be that forceful. Just yet. Next would be me asking for my back to be washed and she would go for it... but still ask if she could go for more. Now, that's where the tricky bit started. I would say yes, and she... would return the 'favor' in her own mirthful way.

Instead of being too bold about it, Kuroka just focused on teasing me through spots she knew would get a reaction out of me. My arms, my hips, close to my butt- and she would also press her breasts at times against my back, almost gloating over the fact she would get a reaction out of me. I wouldn't cover what was happening to my lower body, almost tempting her to a bolder move but... she wouldn't. She favored that kind of situation more than anything beyond it. At least we were agreeing on that amount of lewdness.

Dinner would go as normal as lunch, and then it was time to sleep together. That was the daily situation if work or Ophis' visits were ignored, but that status quo wasn't meant to last.

Another normal day, Kuroka looked a bit happier and mischievous than usual. She seemed to be holding back onto something. I could tell that day was meant to be different than the rest. I expected little changes from the usual stuff I was now accustomed to. Things went chill from waking up through breakfast and lunchtime. I thought the Nekoshou would have done something around the time Issei and co. visited, but even at that point she behaved as she would in previous occasions.

Kuroka struck during bathtime. She would come in as usual, smiling eye to eye as she 'greeted' me and then... she picked another seat. Rather than sit in front of me and stare, she just sat between my legs. The way she slowly entered the large tub was clever as she carefully nestled herself close without actually hurting. Me. In fact, the only thing she accomplished with that closeness was my funny guy down below being suddenly squished between her buns.

"This is quite comfy, nyah~."

"So... what's up?"

"I've been thinking for a while," She replied quietly, a shiver going down her spine as her tails slightly tickled at my chest. "And... I realized that we've been living together for a while."

"Yes?"

"And I find you pleasant."

"Oh well, thank you-"

"I also really like you," She blurted out. "I mean, you're nice, you're attractive and... I'm a nyaughty kitty."

"So you want to do more because of it."

"Yep," The Nekoshou replied childishly. "I want my master to treat this kitty to a better bath."

"And more?"

"Nyot yet~," She hummed mirthfully. "Master should get stronger first."

...

"Well, what if I don't do that, kitty-cat?"

Her cat ears twitched at that pet name, and she pouted. "W-Well... I don't know. I guess I would just sleep on the couch."

"..." I tried to hold it back but... I had to laugh at that weak response, causing her to huff at me.

"I-It's that bad, John. I'll do it."

"It's just... you know that this is the first time I see you so flustered, right?" I argued and her cheeks flared at that, a tentative smile forming.

"What about it?"

"I can't just ignore the fact you look so cute and hot at the same time. Ku-ro-ka-chan~."

The last bit had her shiver in pleasure again. "M-Master is a teasing jerk."

My response was giving her something she had been asking for. She tensed up as soon as she felt my palms around her breasts, her lips parting as a long breath left through her mouth. A quiet moan followed as her nipples were teased and her rear moved up and down, returning the favor back to me by rubbing my length. This wasn't something I have ever done. I had sex before, I had som experience in foreplay too, but this was a degree of lewd I had yet to fully explore. Never had that kind of fun in the bathroom, and I wasn't minding this new experience.

Kuroka was... still a 'rookie' too in that predicament. I could tell from the way she moved, so mechanical and yet so determined. Her body just twitched at every touch, her arousal increasing with my careful teasing and eventually my right hand went lower and checked down below. She tensed instantly as she felt my digits poking at her clit before finally getting to her wet lower lips. Her juices staining my fingers and giving me the chance to test something I knew could get her really excited. Kuroka's nostrils flared as she smelled the nectar coming straight from her honey pot, tongue out to lick it off my hand as she was deeply immersed in the teasing and...

"N-Nyah! So good~!"

Not the strongest, but we both found some genuine relief from that combined climax. I've been holding back from treating my sexual frustration for a while, same for Kuroka due to her previous circumstances and... it was great. Mind you, I had nothing against scratching the itches from time to time but I had real reasons to not jump for proper sex. Not when there was going to happen a lot of shit and I couldn't afford to also take care of a family with Kuroka. Plus, it was clear she wasn't looking onto that possibility just yet. Not until I got 'stronger' as she tried to reason with. Still, there was one last thing I wanted to make clear with the girl. Something I knew had to be addressed quickly before my situation turned into Issei 2.0 with how his future developed for him.

"Kuroka?"

"Hmm~?" She asked back, still recovering from her orgasm.

"I'm fine with this but... don't get too taken by it. Let's try to not be too extreme with this situation."

Blinking for a moment, the young woman realized what I meant. "No pushing it, got it."

"More like let's try setting up a schedule about it."

She nodded. "I don't mind, Master~."

A fiery blush appeared on her face as soon as I kissed her cheek.

"And it's still John, Kuroka."

The girl giggled, but she made it a personal mission to call me master whenever possible. I didn't mind, with the sole issue being when she tried to do that with others around.

Ophis ended up visiting later that day for a nightly snack and I could tell she might have picked up something happened with Kuroka from the way she started to smell my shirt. She didn't say anything beyond that I smelled 'oddly familiar' for some reason. When asked what she meant, the girl just went quiet and resumed her usual discussion: ranting about the situation back in her organization and how 'whiny' some people were getting. Despite that, I could tell she had noticed something and I would have to be wary about it in the near future.

Now, that was the beginning of a new status quo with Kuroka and... also a change of pace when it comes to my job.

"How do you feel about a two-days trip to Osaka?"

I blinked as I held my phone close to my ear as Azazel had called me for some important assignment.

"What about?"

"I just need a victi-I mean, someone I can trust and I know will make it alive through this task. It's crucial you succeed one way or another and... you have to convince this important agent to get back to work."

"I thought there was a standard about handling disobedient agents," I replied with a confused tone. "Like, expelling them or have them eliminated."

"Not this one. I think of her as a very important part of the organization and I know she means well. Deep down. So please, help me with this and I will up your checks."

That would help a bit with some costs... I shrugged, and nodded.

"I'll do it. Will you mail me stuff to know where to go?"

"Something like that, yes."

He sent me mail with the specific address, the agent's denomination and the code to use to make it clear I was an ally and not an assassin, but also a package with stuff I needed to bring with me for this trip. It was my first 'errand boy' task. The first of many. And I should have known from the way he worded it that things were just going to plant me in a very bad situation.

Especially because of who I ended up dealing with for those two days and more beyond that.

AN

Kuroka is a bold kitty, and one that still knows moderation. Yet, Ophis picked up something that was off with that different smell and... next up is another girl.

I have to come clean about this one since I doubt anyone will get her in a single guess, but I will say this one is a Genderbend character. Why? Well, why the heck no, I say! Boobas are still boobas.

But after that, I'll keep the 'interests' folder closed for a while. Other girls will come up, but none meant to get too attached to the MC. As the MC just mentioned, it's best to not fall the same hole Canon Issei did with how things turned out for him in the future regarding his harem...

REVIEW Q&A!

EnkiduTheGreenOne: Something of that 'unseen' kind, yes. But I think it will not be magic. I've something in mind and… it will take a while. In the mean time, he is getting a minor boost through someone that is really protective of their first friend.

Dragon King of the West: Because it's quite logical for Kuroka to go in the same town where her sister, which is currently guarded by the little sister of one of the Satans, is? Logically speaking, he shouldn't just be jumping the gun at every black cats he find.

Rodvek97: The next one is a curve ball of a choice.

Guest-Questioner: Maybe~.

Guest (Chapter 4): A certain bugged AI on the Moon supports this statement.

Terracotta Tortilla: The Creep bit was about sitting close to her in the couch. MC is just trying to not give the impression of being too creepy with his own behavior, not how Kuroka behaves. And the word is never mentioned beyond that point. So I really don't see your… point.
