Kouta looked at his long list of gift recipients and sighed. He'd already started the shopping and got all of his trivial gifts out of the way. A trip to the local lotion and perfume shops took care of the various female lovers that he liked to keep around and a trip to the gentleman's store took care of his male lovers. Always keep your options open and happy. That way when he needed to call someone they'd be on hand. After depositing the gifts for his many lovers in the trunk of the limo, he glanced at his list and got down to his true gift shopping.
His first gift was for a lovely teacher that he frequently caused problems for, the Lady Tiffany. She liked cute things and pink things so his first thought was to get her a stuffed toy, but after spending a bit more thought on it he decided a pink tiara would be a much better gift. Waving to the limo driver he pulled his heavy fur coat tighter around his body and headed to the jewelry store.
Shiny display cases faced the windows of the store front and Kouta could see several women looking longingly into the windows. Each one of them hoping one of their students would buy them a fancy trinket from the shop. With his graceful movements he opened the door to the shop and entered. A pretty woman immediately came up to him. "Merry Christmas sir. Can I help you find a nice trinket for a loved one? Your teacher perhaps?" The brown haired shop worker smiled at him.
"Yes my lady I'm looking for a tiara for a lady friend though she isn't my teacher." Kouta smiled seductively at the woman and was rewarded with a blush.
"Oh this must be a lucky young lady. Our tiaras are this way sir." She turned gracefully and led him to a display case full of various tiaras. Some made from gold bases and others silver. All of them had various colors of gemstones set into the metals. He carefully examined each one and mulled over their implications held in each design. Finally he spotted one decorated with pink Morganite gemstones. Perfect. The gem represented the innocence that Tiffany portrayed.
"I'll get that one there please." Kouta smiled seductively at the shop worker again and she smiled back while pulling out a set of keys.
"This is a very nice one. She must be one lucky lady." With a semblance of grace the woman carefully removed the tiara from the display case. He followed the worker as she brought the lovely item to the counter.
"Will you be paying in cash today or by card?" The woman asked and blushed as Kouta gazed at her with his seductive eyes.
"Card and would you please gift wrap it for me?" He elegantly handed the card to the woman and brushed his hand against hers as she took his card. She blushed once again and nodded to him. After swiping the card and handing it back to the seductive man she put the tiara in a box and carefully wrapped it before putting it in a bag for Kouta to carry out.
"Thank you for your patronage and please come again." The woman smiled and slipped her number into the bag as she handed it to Kouta. With a smile and a casual brush of the woman's hand he took the bag. He bowed slightly as he exited the store. Purchase in hand Kouta marked Tiffany of his list and moved on to the next name. Alyera was the next person on his list to get a present. The lovely vampire enjoyed his company as many women did and had a taste for gothic themes as well as a love for the sun.
Before he got too far with his gift hunting for Alyera his phone rang. Looking at the face of the phone the call was from Naiki. A little surprised he answered his phone with his usual seductiveness and was even more surprised when the fox asked Kouta where he'd be able to get a rather interesting gift for the Dark lord's youngest brighter Mix. After some thought Kouta provided the requested information and he bid his housemate goodbye. Putting the phone back into his pocket he returned to his shopping.
Shivering a bit from the cold air Kouta walked around for a moment to think about his next gift. As he was looking at various shops something caught his eye. A small shop nestled in amongst the others showing various bright hair accessories. Seeing a bright barrette with a sunflower made of various gems Kouta made for the shop door. "Welcome sir." A pair of blue haired cats spoke in unison as he entered. The two cats were identical and he didn't know if they did that on purpose or if they were twins; either way the sight made Kouta smile.
"I would like that sunflower barrette in the window." He elegantly pointed to the sunflower in the window. For a vampire that liked the sun a sunflower seemed fitting.
"A gift? For your teacher perhaps?" The cats once again spoke in unison before one of them moved to take the gem encrusted trinket from the window. "This?" Again the cats spoke in unison and Kouta figured they had to be twins. He thought for about using his other sight on them for a moment and seeing if they had the connection twin auras held, but that would be rude.
"Yes please it's a lovely flower for a lady that likes the sun." Kouta held the trinket and was surprised to feel a small bit of power from it.
"Oh even better. The gems are golden Topaz. Perfect for a lady of the sun." The cats once again spoke in unison and their eyes twinkled with mystery. That explained things. The two shop owners held some sort of power and their trinkets kept some of that power. He subtly looked at the trinket with his voodoo sight and saw what the spell did. There was nothing harmful in this trinket's spell. All the barrette would do is make Alyera feel warm and safe.
"I'll take this please." Kouta handed the trinket back to the cats with a seductive look to them and the shop owners happily took the trinket to the register. They rang up the purchase for Kouta and put the barrette in a pretty box then in a bag for the man to carry out.
"Thank you for your purchase. Enjoy this Winter Solstice." The cats bowed as Kouta left the shop. He smiled over his shoulder and left the shop. Any shop that called this holiday by its old name was a shop that deserved frequenting. Kouta wasn't against the holiday being celebrated as Christmas, but being a voodoo priest his religion laid elsewhere and he preferred the context of Winter Solstice. Once again Kouta crossed off a name from his list and moved on. The next three he could take care of in one stop. His housemates all had a taste for a specific type of food and he knew of a shop that catered to unusual fetishes.
With a graceful air to his step he made his way through the cold to the store he had in a mind. The shop he was looking for was a little ways a way, but the walk allowed him to think about some of the other gifts he needed to get. When the shop he was looking for came into view he quickened his pace. He was in one of the seedier parts of town and the shop he was looking for had bold red neon lights blazing across the windows. The store advertises its wares as all of the naught foods you could need to satisfy you. The perfect place to fill orders for those with food fetishes.
A smile on his lips he entered the comfortable atmosphere of the shop. Kouta thrived in places like this and it wasn't long before a sultry store clerk approached him. "Merry Christmas Kouta. How can I help you today?" The shinning blue eyes of the rabbit clerk looked at him and a blush crept across the clerks cheeks.
"I need some specialty gifts for my housemates." Kouta smiled seductively at the clerk and trailed his finger down the young rabbit's cheek.
"Oh I see. Well please tell me about these housemates and I'll be sure to provide the best service I can." The rabbit bounced happily at the opportunity to serve the elegant man.
"The first one is Ryu. He has a fetish for peanut butter and is a very violent person." Kouta explained a little about the wolf that he often had childish arguments with. The rabbit thought for a moment then his eyes shone happily. He waved for Kouta to follow him and quickly moved through the store. The clerk picked up a box and opened it. Inside was a toy gun that could obviously be filled with something.
"How about this? It's meant to be filled with thicker substances like peanut butter." The shop clerk looked expectantly at Kouta who shook his head.
"I need more of a gift basket for my housemates. They all have lovers and something those lovers could use with them would be better." The rabbit's lips formed an 'o' as Kouta's words sank in. He thought for a moment then smiled again.
"What are the other fetishes we are working with Mr. Kouta?" The rabbit asked with a twinkle in his eyes and Kouta obliged the clerk. After explaining everything the rabbit asked him to wait a moment and ran off bouncing along the way. Kouta knew his requests were in good hands and though he felt Xiren might be a little upset that he spent more time on his various lovers than on his housemates, he didn't let that fact bother him. His housemates weren't his favorite people since they tended to interrupt his plans, but he didn't out right hate them or anything.
After several minutes the clerk returned followed by several other clerks. The procession walked up to him and each clerk held a box open with various items in them. Kotua diligently examined the contents with a smile. The first held a box of peanut butter based adult play materials as well as a lotion that increased euphoria and touch sensitivity. Each box was full of the recipient's favorite foods and various implements to help put those food items on a body and held items containing various aphrodisiacs. A perfect assortment of items for each person and Kotua nodded his approval.
"I'll take these they are perfect." With a seductive smile toward each of the store hands he walked to the register. Ryu would be very happy and know exactly what to do with the items in his box, but Naiki and Atraiyuu would probably need some help figuring out what the present was for. Kouta was sure Jinx would be very happy to demonstrate the use of those items on Atraiyuu and Kouta figured Mix would know how to use these things on Naiki, but he didn't like thinking about that. The fact that the fox's virginity slipped through his fingers and fell to a wolf still irked him. Shaking off his irritation Kouta smiled seductively at the rabbit as he rung up the purchases. Another phone number was casually slipped into his bag as the clerk handed him his purchases.
As he walked from the store Kouta called the limo again. His purchases were weighing him down and he still had three more gifts to get. As the limo approached he helped the driver put the gifts into his section of the trunk and thanked the driver again. The poor limo driver had spent most of his day driving around and picking up gifts though he and Atraiyuu seemed to have the most gifts accumulated. Not surprising since Ryu and Naiki were the most unsociable of the group.
Unburdened by his bags Kouta moved on to the next person on his list. His lover and master Jas was the next person on his list. The violent cat loved anything that caused pain to others and currently had a thing for guns. Kouta himself didn't like guns because they were too messy and often destroyed the parts of the body he needed for his voodoo, but if Jas liked them then Jas would get one.
Once again the elegant and seductive man moved through the streets toward a shop. This time he was looking for a gun shop which unless one knew where to look this was quite a feat in the city. Several things were kept underground, but there was a small market for the various wares that were otherwise unobtainable. After a little searching a dusty shop that looked abandoned appeared in his field of vision. The sign above the door simply read 'guns' and proved promising.
Carefully Kouta entered the shop and saw that it indeed sold guns. Several were on display, but none of the ones on display were real guns. All of them were the toy guns that one often saw these boys that wanted to play tough guy sport. A sigh escaped his lips as he looked around the shop. He hoped that there was some secretive part of the shop that sold the real thing, but before his eyes could uncover the store's secrets a voice called from behind him.
"Can I help you?" A grey haired wolf looked at him and crossed his arms. Kouta turned to the man and smiled with his seductive smile.
"Yes I'm looking for a gun. A real gun."
"We don't sell those here." The wolf dismissed Kouta and tried to shoo him out of the shop.
"Oh I have it on very good authority that you do sell guns." With a quick movement he tugged on a cord at the back of the room revealing a case of guns. The shop owner made a strangled noise and ran over to Kouta.
"What are you doing!" The wolf tried closing the drapes.
"Relax my name is Kouta and I am good at keeping the secrets of others." At the mention of Kouta's name the man relaxed.
"Oh yes I have heard of you. Then please choose your gun." The shop owner's manner changed completely and Kouta was free to browse through the selection. A simple hand gun was not going to be sufficient for his master and the case held a myriad of those. As his gaze neared the bottom of the display case he saw what he wanted.
"I'll take that." Kouta smiled at the shop clerk and pointed to the semi-automatic shotgun on the bottom shelf of the case. This was perfect for the violent cat.
"A very good choice Mr. Kouta." The shop owner smiled and opened the case. He pulled the gun from the shelf and brought it to the register. He rung up Kotua's purchase and placed it in a large box wrapping it so that it looked like an innocent package rather than a high end weapon. "Please enjoy your purchase and don't tell where you got it from." Kouta took the box from the wolf with a smile and a nod. Stepping out of the shop he crossed off yet another name from his list and moved on to the next one. His teacher was the next person to get a gift for. This one was easy as well. He and his housemates already coordinated with each other on what to get her and his mission was to find a new outfit.
As he walked away from the gun shop his phone rang again. This time the call from Ryu and he answered the phone a little brusquely. His muscular housemate called to ask for a place to get a demonic object for his friend. One day the wolf would have to learn to accept the fact that he was a demon, but for now Kouta would help him out. He provided the information that Ryu needed and once again put the phone back into his pocket before going back to hunting for his gift for the fashionista teacher of his.
Xiren was a distinguished fashion designer and all of them were getting her several parts of an outfit to make a complete set for her. Ryu had the undergarments and he was tasked with the actual outfit. Pulling his jacket tighter to ward off the chill Kouta made his way to the clothing districts. He had the outfit in mind and made his way to a glamorous clothing store. The store had various gowns on display all of which were extravagant and whimsical.
A seductive smile on his face Kouta opened the door to the shop and was immediately greeted by the familiar staff. "Merry Christmas Kouta. What brings you here today?" One of the elegant female staff members asked him with a blush across her cheeks.
"Looking for a gift for Miss Xiren." He smiled seductively and took each woman's hand in his and kissed it in turn. The women on staff all giggled and blushed at the attention.
"What type of outfit would you like for Miss Xiren? Something extravagant I imagine?" A red headed store clerk asked and Kouta thought for a moment. Knowing Ryu he was going to get some sort of impractical and expensive undergarment so he'd need to find a dress that would be easy to remove and wouldn't be too restricting. As much as he favored the elegantly designed fantasy outfits, a simple cocktail dress would work best. Though, just a cocktail dress would pail in comparison to anything Ryu would get.
"I want a cocktail dress, but I want it to be elegant and unique." Kouta tried to explain his ideas to the clerks and one of the women's eyes light up.
"Oh I have the perfect dress." The dark haired woman elegantly and quickly went to the back of the store. When she returned she held an elegant cocktail dress in a strange fabric. The woman held the dress out for Kouta to see and as the dress moved the colors on it shifted and shimmered as they changed. It was perfect.
"This is perfect." Kouta smiled seductively at the shop attendants and gave his approval. The woman holding the dress smiled and brought the dress to the register to ring up the charge.
"Will you be putting this on your tab or paying for it today?" The clerk dutifully asked Kouta who handed her his card to indicate he'd pay for it today. Carefully the clerk folded the dress and wrapped it in a decorative box before handing it to the elegant man. With a kiss on each of their hands he left the shop with only one name left on his list. His Dark Lord and revered voodoo god Shinx Darkness.
A smile played across his lips and a glow formed in his eyes as he thought about what he needed for the Dark Lord's gift. With a purposeful stride Kouta made his way to the toy store. The cute shop was not his normal venue in fact he never bought anything from the toy store before. Outside the store front a student dressed in a red suit depicting Santa Clause stood ringing a bell and ushering people into the store. Ignoring the student, Kouta made his way through the door. Before he got far a very happy cat boy dressed in an elf suit walked up to him.
"Hello there sir, can I help you?" The store worker looked at him with bright blue eyes and smiling face.
"Actually yes." Kouta smiled seductively at the cat and as usual was rewarded with a bright blush. "I need the cutest stuffed bear you have."
"Oh well the cutest one we had was bought already, but we have another one I can think of." The cat led Kouta to the racks of stuffed toys they had. With a smile the worker picked a small fluffy bear off the shelf and showed it to Kouta. "This one is super soft and cuddly. A perfect gift for… your teacher." The blue eyed man hesitantly asked.
"For a friend." Kouta smiled and pat the cat on the shoulder as he took the stuffed toy from him. "This is perfect, thank you." In a good mood Kouta lightly kissed the young man's cheek and was rewarded with another brilliant blush.
"Th-then I'll just take this and ring it up for you." The store clerk quickly covered his blush by rushing off to ring up the seductive man. With a smile Kouta followed the cat and headed to the register. Paying for the stuffed toy he declined the offer to wrap it and took the toy from the clerk. As Kouta left the store he found yet another phone number tucked in with his purchase. He had quite a collection of potential bed mates from the day.
Next was to enchant the cute toy. Shinx was a man who loved anything dark, dangerous, bloody, twisted, and evil and this cute stuffed toy was about to become one of the most twisted things he'd ever enchanted. His Dark Lord had a problem with some obsessive people stalking him and not wanting to do as he commanded. To solve that little problem Kouta had a plan to enchant the cute toy with a unique voodoo spell he'd been working on perfecting. All he needed now were a few key elements. First on his list, the kiss of a virgin.
Walking through the streets for a little bit he found the perfect person to get a kiss from. Spotting a sweet lady in a cute frilly pink coat and matching pink pants sitting with an equally cute student he walked over. "Excuse me lady, sir but may I ask a favor?" Kouta smiled sweetly at the couple only showing a little of his seductive side.
"What do you want?" The student asked and moved closer to his teacher. As he thought a cute little couple with a young student trying to be tough and an innocent teacher sitting together on a first date. He stifled a laugh at all of these 'tough' boys that had been cropping up lately. One hour with himself or a few of his housemates would show this student what tough was.
"Sorry to interrupt your date, but I have a present for a very important person and I wondered if your lady would give me her opinion on the gift?" Keeping his voice sweet and letting just a little of his seductive ways he directed the question to the student.
"Oh I'd love to see." The innocent teacher smiled brightly before her student could object. Carefully Kouta pulled out the stuffed bear and showed it to her. He was rewarded with squeal from the girl. "It's so cute! Can I hold it for a moment?" The teacher asked with bright eyes and Kouta nodded he watched the woman with his eyes. She held the toy and admired it for a moment before placing a soft kiss on the bear's nose. Perfect the irresistible power of a plush toy always brought favorable actions from the innocent. "I'm sure your important person will love it." With a bright smile she handed the toy back.
"Thank you for your assessment my lady." With a graceful bow and a jealous look from the student he walked off. Element one acquired, Kouta moved through the streets for his next part of the spell. Most of the ingredients for this spell were things he carried on his person so the next piece of his spell was to enchant the bear at a special location. Walking carefully through the streets he looked for a park with few people in it.
After a brisk walk through the cold Kouta finally found what he was looking for. Walking into the center of the park he set purchases on a nearby bench and set the bear in the snow and drew a circle around it. Muttering various spells in an old language he placed locks of hair, drops of blood, and various herbs along the circle. Finishing placing everything he stood back and continued to chant. His eyes glowed with a dark aura and a smile crossed his lips as he finished the spell. Giving the spell a few moments to settle into the plush toy he took a few breaths to steady himself. He used more power than he intended and deciding walking home was not something he'd favor.
He walked over to the bear while pulling out his phone and calling for the limo to pick him up. Kouta picked up the bear as he put his phone in his pocket and examined his work. The stuffed toy looked cute and cuddly to the untrained eye, but with a little focus the dark glow around it shone brightly. Now his Dark Lord would have a charm to give any of his stalkers and they'd be enthralled to his every whim. Anyone who held the toy would do everything Shinx asked and though they'd have no control over their actions, they'd be fully conscious of what their body was doing.
Kouta picked put the toy into a bag and picked up his other purchases with a smile. He was confident that his gift would please his Dark Lord and if his stalkers didn't die from Shinx's demands, they'd go mad from the plush doll. When the limo pulled up the driver helped Kouta put his gifts in the trunk and the seductive priest slid into the back. Ryu was already in the car and Kouta nodded to him.
"Got everything mutt?" Ryu handed Kouta a beer and he nodded with his seductive smile on his lips and accepted the beer.
