Sorry for the delay, but glad to see the pleased reviews, and yes I too am excited to see where this goes on its own path. Keep in mind that while things are their own now, certain things will be seen in the background characters etc. as Easter eggs of sorts. Don't worry, this will only be Kimihito and Rachnera. After this one I may do some with Miia and Lala as separate stories. Sorry for any Grammer errors, my keyboard is a bit glitchy and my autocorrect isn't too great. As for formatting I'm not sure how else to write it, it's actually a major improvement than what my older stuff was before I corrected them. But as usual drop a review. Let us begin.
While it had been a somewhat long night, Kurusu woke up feeling quite recharged from last night's ordeal. He smiled as he lay in his bed, replaying it all in his head. Now he was not only a host, but a happy one with a pretty extraspecies girl who seemed fond of him.
He lay there with his eyes closed as he waited for the alarm clock next to his bed to go off, and immediately shut it off when it did so 10 seconds later. He started to open his eyes a bit, it seemed to be darker than it usually was in his room at this time of day. He began to take in his surroundings, and noticed that his curtains seemed...different. Sitting up he noticed that they weren't the usual ones he always had, but instead looked to made out of webs.
'Did Rachnera do this? Maybe she's not a morning person, but...why change My curtains?' Kimihito thought confused, until he heard a swaying sound above him. He also saw that there seemed to be something silvery in the far corner of the room, and saw it leading upwards. He began to look to the ceiling, and almost jumped.
Rachnera was sleeping up there, above his head maybe a few meters from him with one of her breasts hanging out.
'What the hell?! Why is she in my room? And why is she half naked?!' his mind panicked as he felt a trickle of blood starting from his nose.
Kurusu's thoughts were a jumble as he processed the woman technically sleeping in his room. Last night when they'd gotten in he showed her around, and prepared a room for her just down the hall from his. She'd politely thanked and bid him goodnight as he began to feel exhausted from everything that took place an hour prior. He'd gone to his room, changed and went right to sleep without a second thought. He didn't even remember dreaming very much, but he thinks some of it might have featured the still sleeping Liminal girl above him.
As she lay there on one of the lines she placed strategically above his bed in case she'd fallen, he took in more of her features. They were even more serene and enchanting while she was asleep, how relaxed they looked since she didn't appear to be awake. Her six eyes were moving a bit under the eyelids, letting him know she was actively dreaming. About what he didn't really have any idea, but the smile on her face told him that it was happy, whatever she saw in her mind.
Now the whole situation would've been fine if she hadn't shifted and unknowingly slipped another breast out from the loose fitting shirt she wore. 'Lewdness aside, where did she even get that shirt from? Make it herself like she said she could?' Either way it didn't matter as Kurusu got up to give her some more time to sleep and hopefully compose herself when she finally woke up. Trying to be as silent as possible, he crept towards the door and felt something lightly tug on his shoulders.
'What the?' He thought before he found himself quickly bound like he had been yesterday. 'Not again, why now of all times? Whats with her and trapping things? Like me??' As he struggled as best he could without making a noise, Kurusu felt something tickle his left ear. Turning his head a little he jumped as Rachnera's face was right next to his. She sleepily asked him with a voice like warm honey "Mmm going somewhere so early? Never thought you were an early bird."
He calmed himself down before replying with a light smile "Good morning, I didn't think you were one to sleep in. By the way, why did you sleep in here?" She smiled and told him "It felt warmer in here than my room, plus it had a higher ceiling." That puzzled him, all the rooms had the same temperature unless he adjusted one of the two dials the IEP installed when they renovated the place. But he hadn't changed either of them, so the whole house was pretty much the same. His ceiling was maybe a meter taller than hers, so he understood that part.
"Really?" He questioned her, not quite believing it but not making a big deal out of it either. She smiled at him with half lidded eyes and nodded her head. "Mhm. I saw how much light your old curtains were letting in, so I...fixed them." Kurusu almost raised an eyebrow at the way she said it and replied "So you prefer this room? I can always move to the other and give you this-"
"Who said anything about making you switch rooms? What kind of a person would I be if I forced my very welcoming and kind host from his own room? I was actually thinking we might...sleep together in here." She replied with a voice like sweet honey again even as a blush fought to make itself shown on her face. Kurusu gulped as he tried to respond, but found himself stuttering. "T-t together? I'm not s-so sure that's such a-"
All she did was watch him fluster like that with a small smile in her face, her eyes showing a happy view. "What? It's not like either of us are planning anything perverted, now are we? Not that I'd mind, considering it's just you and me in the house." She asked as she neared him, a pointed finger dragging across his jawline. She'd clearly been emphasizing the word to see how he'd react to it, and watched his face blush hard. Hell even her face was a bit red from the flirt she'd thrown out there at him.
To her, it was so cute to see him trying to hold himself back from her advances. She knew he full well wanted to do something like that, from the way he tried to avert his eyes but failed, the warmth his cheeks were giving. But to her surprise he closed his eyes and took a few breathes before opening them again, seeming to have calmed down.
"As nice as that would be Rachnee, you know as well as I do that it's against the law. I wouldn't want to see you get deported because I couldn't keep myself together. Maybe when it's legal for both of us, I'll take you up on that offer. But right now, why don't we get something to eat?" He finished, hoping it would defuse the situation in a positive way, and was rewarded as she sighed but still held a small smile.
"That sounds great Honey, and perhaps afterwards we can go for that shopping trip? I made these ones last night, but I don't have any colored silk. Limits my style, you see." She gestured to the loose fitting gray shirt she wore, and the pair of what appeared to be a skirt of sorts that covered her lower front. It too was a little revealing, showing off her two front "legs" which actually were pediphilips. Being a legs man didn't help either, especially when she had so many. Kurusu turned his head from them and told her "Sure, after breakfast we can head out. But before we do that, can you please let me down?"
"Oh, right." she replied and slashed lightly at one of the lines nearest his arms. All at once the threads fell as if they weighed nothing, which was quite a contrast to him given how strong they felt when he was in them. "By the way, whats with tying me up? And are there any other lines I should be concerned about?" Kurusu asked as he rose from the floor where the webs deposited him, though lighter than the last time he escaped them back in the warehouse. She shook her head at the second inquiry, and almost hesitated when it came to telling the first.
"It's what I've always been good at, sort of runs in my species. It's also kind of turned into a pass time of mine, different weaving styles for different bodies. It's actually quite fun once you try it out, maybe I can show you a thing or two..." She trailed off, and the last words made Kurusu shiver involuntarily. He definitely did not want to go into whatever she was imagining in her head, though it caught his curiosity. He quickly changed the subject while he could.
"Maybe some day, but do you like omelettes? Or do you have any special preferences?" He hastily asked, and was relieved when her face went into a thoughtful expresseion. Kurusu hopes he at least has something to make for her, he'd be real embarrassed if he couldn't even provide breakfast for her as a host. Her reply came about 10 seconds later.
"I do tend to stick with meat, but eggs are pretty good with me. I'm not a huge veggie person, but I'll go for the occasional pasta or rice dish. Soups are good as well." He sighed in relief, luckily he had all of those things.
It seems that Mike's advice back when he first asked how to be a good host was paying off so far. Make sure you can accommodate, and just be yourself. From her warm demeanor towards him, she seemed to like him as a person. Maybe liking him a bit too much, but it wasn't exactly unwelcome. She was a nice person so far, beautiful as well, and needed a home. He had a larger home and was more than willing to host her, what was the downside?
"Well your in luck, I've got all the ingredients for what you prefer. Let's head to the kitchen and I'll start cooking, sound good?" He asked and received a light nod from her. As he stepped to leave the doorway she put an arm out in front of him.
"Hold on, almost forgot that one. There you go."
At first he hadn't seen anything, but as her fingers snapped together with a slight clang due to her gauntlet like hands, a double set of nearly invisible webs dropped to the floor. "Do I even want to know what those were for, or what they would've done to me?" Kurusu asked and she laughed lightly as she shook her head.
"Probably not, thought it wouldn't seem so out of place later perhaps." She hinted again to him, though she sighed at the end. She knew it probably wouldn't happen due to their situation, but that didn't mean she couldn't tease him until such a time it was possible. Then things would get real fun for her.
As they walked together through his rather large hallway, she smiled to herself as they entered the kitchen. A thought crossed her mind of a few certain styles of clothing to search for when they head out, the teasing lingerie kind.
'This is the wonderful start of something very interesting."
