Nina Has Plans For Ryu
As much as they didn't want it to, morning came, and the lovers awoke staring into each other's eyes.
"Good morning, sunshine." Ryu whispered, smiling. "Sleep well?"
Katt yawned. "Sleep? Did we do that?"
Ryu chuckled. "I doubt it. Did I tell you yet today that I love you?"
She kissed him. "I love you as well, Mr. Bateson."
"Come on, let's go downstairs."
"Okay… sweetheart." She winked at him.
They came down the stairs to find Bow talking with Jean about something. Nobody else was around.
"What's up, buddy?" Ryu asked.
"Oh… good morning, lovebirds." Bow said, turning from his conversation. "I've got some bad news. Jean tells me there's no more food in the house."
Jean nodded remorsefully. "Old mother Hubbard I may not be, but Alas! The cupboard is still bare!"
Ryu scratched his head. "So what do we do?"
Katt tapped his shoulder. "We'll go hunting! Bow and I know how to hunt. If we work all day, we can probably get two week's worth of food!"
"Hmm… Well, okay." Ryu said. He hugged her. "Happy hunting!"
After Katt and Bow had gone, Jean went to clean the roaches out of the basement (to eat them, no doubt), and Ryu was left alone in the living room. He started to flip through a magazine when he heard a noise behind him. He turned. It was Nina.
"Hey Ryu," she said in an affectionate voice, "How you doing?"
"I'm all right."
"Where's your little gal-pal?"
"Oh… she went hunting with Bow. She'll probably be back this evening."
"Humm… do tell." She said, seemingly uninterested. She plopped down on the other end of the couch. "I'm so bored."
"Yeah, I have nothing to do either," Ryu agreed, yawning.
"Tired?" Nina asked, shifting a little closer. "Did you get enough sleep last night?"
Despite being good friends with Nina, he didn't feel it necessary to divulge what had happened the previous night. "Yeah, I did. Why?"
She shrugged. "No reason." She inched a little closer to him. "You're not a very good liar, you know. I heard a lot of noise down here last night."
"Uhhhhh…"
"Yeah… it's okay, Ryu, there's nothing wrong with it. However…" Closer. "Does it bother you knowing that you may only do it with Katt and only Katt for the rest of your life?"
He raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean by that?"
"Well, other people may give you more satisfaction," she said, leering at him. "For example, Katt really doesn't know what a guy wants, or expects. She's really not going to give you a lot of satisfaction. However, there are other people…"
"Who, you?" he interrupted.
"I didn't say that," she said, inching up right next to him, "But maybe someone like me would be able to completely blow your mind out, whereas Katt…" Nina shrugged. "Oh well. Do with my words what you will."
Ryu's breath became very fast, seeing Nina so uncomfortably close to him.
"Can I sit here?" she asked softly, a seductive expression on her face.
"Uh, sure, I guess. Just don't come any closer."
"Too late." She whispered, pushing him down and throwing herself on him. He wrenched himself away.
"What are you doing?" he cried. She grabbed his neck and started to kiss him.
"You're mine." She said. "You're mine forever, and you can't do shit about it."
"No!" he scrambled off the couch and toward the door. Nina raised her hand and cast a freezing spell on the door. No matter how hard Ryu yanked, the door wouldn't budge.
"What's this all about?" he growled, turning around.
She cocked her head. "Oh, I'm sorry, I thought I made it clear. But I guess you don't get it. I WANT YOU!!!" She sped over to him and pushed him flat on his ass on the floor, and started to kiss him again. "You can't get away!"
"Wrong." He bolted towards the stairs. Nina cast a barrier before the stairs. He slammed into it.
Nina walked towards him slowly. "Now then, Ryu, are you ready to submit yourself to me? Or must I force you?"
With a growl, Ryu threw his hands up and transformed into a dragon. With a roar of anguish, he flew up, breaking the roof of the house. He flew out through the hole and off into the forest.
"You won't get away!" Nina screamed after him. "You can run now, but let's see what happens when Katt gets back!"
Ryu heard her, and bowed his head. This could be the end of the relationship.
