Yuri's POV.
Ah. I need to work on my landing. While it doesn't injure me, it seems to be done incorrectly. There's always a slight jolt of pain in my legs whenever I land on the ground, but so far, it doesn't affect anything and therefore I'm in no rush to perfect it.
Fortunately, I did not lose control tonight and there was no one in sight. I'm still worried about that girl. I ran before I could harm her, but I don't know what happened to her after that or why she was out so late at night in the first place. The chances of encountering her again are very low, but there's no knowing who else I might run into.
Just as I thought, I am a nocturnal creature. As soon as the moon became visible, I felt refreshed. That's not how it's supposed to work, but I shouldn't think too hard about it. There's no point in trying to explain how any of this works when it's obviously not something that can occur naturally.
With a bag in my hand, I open the door and enter Kazuki's house. I wonder if Natsuki is sleeping? Last night, she stayed with me for a few hours, but she still went to bed and she had no problems during the day, so, she's certainly not supposed to be active at night. If she is sleeping, she should be in be living room. I'll try to be as quiet as possible to avoid waking her up.
"Oh, you're back." - she greets me. She looks comfortable with that blanked draped over her shoulders.
"You're still awake? Well, that's fine. I brought you some things." - I say as I pull out clothes she asked for. Should I keep...that one for later?
"Thanks, Yuri. Oh! I almost forgot! I have something to show you. Wanna see?" - she asks me and she looks eager to demonstrate whatever that is.
"A-Ah, sure." - I accept her offer, curious about what she wants to show me.
Once she receives my answer, she removes the blanket, stands up and spreads her eyes wide. I see something move under the sweater I lent her and...are those spiders? Pink spiders? Where did she get them? Does Kazuki know about this?
"Surprised? You should have seen my face when one of these guys suddenly crawled up my face!" - she says after extending one of her arms towards me with dozens of spiders crawling all over it. I'm not squeamish when it comes to insects, but it doesn't look pleasant.
"Um...it's interesting? But where did you get them?" - I ask as I take a closer look at the spiders. They are certainly not regular spiders.
"Oh...uh...You see, they're sort of crawling out of my body. I can't really feel them crawling inside or something, but Kazuki told me they are coming out of holes on my back." - she replies. Huh. That's interesting.
"Is this all they can do?" - I ask as my interest in these arachnids grows.
"Pfft. You're underestimating these guys. Alright, everyone! All of you except for two smallest spiders can crawl back inside." - she commands and within seconds, only two spiders remain. This is truly fascinating. I clap my hands with a smile on my face.
"That's amazing, Natsuki! You don't even have to teach them anything and they obey! I've heard about spiders living in large colonies, but this is something new...Hm...I wonder if you count as their mother or their queen?" - I say and Natsuki immediately freezes.
"Uh...Yuri? Have I ever told you THAT. YOU. LOOK. TASTY?" - she a- W-W-WHAT?! W-W-W-What is she saying?! S-Somehow, I can feel my face heat up as if I'm blushing despite it being impossible with my body.
"A-A-A-A-"
"YOU. HAVE. JUST. ENOUGH. JUICY. BITS. TO. CHEW. AND. BONES. TO. GNAW. ON. MMMM. JUST. THINKING. ABOUT. IT. MAKES. OUR. MOUTH. WATER! CAN. WE. HAVE. A. BITE? PLEASE?" - s-she asks. The fake scleras of her eyes are pitch black now, leaving only glowing pink irises. Ah, I see. I'm not the only one then. This isn't good.
"N-Natsuki, I know something is wrong with you! Calm down! - I say, but she's obviously not listening.
"HUH? WE. CANNOT. CALM. DOWN! WE. ARE. SO. EXCITED! EXCITED. TO. EAT. YOU! BUT. YOU. ARE. ALSO. SO. FUN. TO. PLAY. WITH! WE. DO. NOT. KNOW. WHAT. TO. DO! OH! WE. KNOW! WE. SHOULD. ALL. VOTE! PLAY. OR. EAT? WHAT. DO. YOU. GUYS. THINK? WE. WANT. TO. EAT! WE. WONDER. WHAT. YURI. TASTES. LIKE? SWEET. OR. SOUR? MAYBE. BOTH? MAYBE. NEITHER? MAYBE. PLAIN? WE. CANNOT. WAIT. TO. FIND. OUT! ARE. YOU. EXCITED. YURI? WE. ARE!" she asks cheerily, her feet no longer touching the floor as she uses her extra appendages to stand.
"B-B-But what do you want to play?" - I ask to distract her.
"OH? UM. WE. COULD. MAKE. YOU. DANCE. ALL. NIGHT? TEAR. OFF. YOUR. SKIN. AND. WATCH. YOU. SQUIRM?...PLAY...SUPER. SMASH. BROS? OR. MAYBE. ALL. OF. THAT?" - she replies, her sing-song tone of voice still present and...Smash Bros?
"Y-Yeah! We can just have some fun toge-"
"THE. VOTING. IS. DONE! WE. ARE. HUNGRY. AND. SO. WE. DECIDED. TO. EAT. YURI! TIME. TO. FEAST! FEAST! FEAST!" - she says before lunging at me with her mouth split into five parts, each lined with teeth. Fortunately, I can react in time to close her mouth shut, making her scream in pain. Once her eyes regain their normal color, I let her go.
"...Thankth, Yuri, but it thtill hurtth like hell." - she mutters. Looks like I pinched her tongue with the lower parts of her mouth when I closed it.
"Sorry, but it had to be done. Now then, I must go to warn Kazuki. He's not going to understand you well until you recover. Leave your apologies for later." - I say, not quite ready to tell her everything, but it's for the best. He must know.
I leave the living room and head towards the bedroom. I don't want to wake him up, but this is an urgent matter. There's no knowing what would happen if we both lost control while he can't fight back or run. That is without even getting into what trouble we would get into if it happened elsewhere. I don't know how to tell him about this, but I'm sure I can figure it out.
I enter his bedroom. I have no need to turn the lights on. My eyes are already perfect, just like the rest of me. Artificial lights are absolutely useless to me. Ah, he's so serene when he's sleeping. It's almost adorable. Unfortunately for him, this is his last night. No one can stop me. That damn pipsqueak isn't there to intervene or attack me and so I am free to devour him. He's all mine. Mine alone.
"Oh, little Kazuki, you have no idea what awaits you, but I promise that I won't leave behind even your dried husk when I'm done with you. You shall be the first one to die." - I whisper, more for myself than the human. It's always more fun this way.
Now then, I have plenty of time to do this. As I'm in no hurry, I slowly walk towards him and crawl up his soft bed. It would be a shame if it got stained with his blood and it would also be a pain in the ass to get rid of the blood on my body, so, I'll try not to make it messy. The anticipation is killing me. I can already smell his sweet scent, hear his heart beat, feel his warmth a-
"Eh?"
H-H-His arm suddenly wraps around my body a-a-a-A-A-AH WHAT IS THIS?! I-I-It's not right, but he's also so warm and soft and AAAH! What am I supposed to do? I can barely suppress the urge to scream. I must tell him everything, but...it feels so good...I can't wake him up like this. I must, but...I don't feel like it?...Maybe we can leave that for later...May-
S-S-Suddenly, h-h-he pulls me in closer a-a-and nuzzles my neck...ah, now I know that I should have sent Natsuki instead! This is just...too much! I need to get out...or should I? It wouldn't hurt anyone. Just one night. I doubt I can really sleep at night, but taking a nap should be possible. I just have to make sure not to be there when he wakes up to avoid...um...this situation getting any more awkward than it already is. I don't know how I would even explain...this.
Hm...I swear I heard someone giggle outside...Ah, it doesn't really matter.
