A/N: Well, this took a significantly longer period of time then I was expecting to get out, and like the last chapter I'm not entirely sure I hit the 100% mark that I was aiming for, but I think I came in with a close 90%s somewhere. Still I am incredibly happy with the response In Spite of a Nail has gotten so far, so thank you to everyone who reads it and all Reviews, favs and follows I've gotten so far! As it is if you liked this chapter, saw something that needed to be improved, or just wanted to voice your opinion on it, please leave a review! Also as it has been so long, and I am planning to start on the next arc as this one's epilogue/spare scene collection is going to be relatively small if it does get one. So I've ended the Arc 3 poll and put up the Arc 4 poll (it should be visible by the time you are reading this). Cera is the winner and will be the star of our next arc. With Miss Smith, and Cathyl (Seriously, lots of support for her kinda came out of nowhere toward the end) being carryovers. The arc 4 votes pool is contains few 'Main' girls as we will have had two in a row by that point.
Disclaimer: I do not own DLWMG, and I would like to put a thank you to my editors Sammieo and The Ambiguous Briton for their continued help in making my writing presentable.
Lemon Warning: This chapter contains not one, but two lemons, if you do not want to read them, please skip from where the Lemon Warnings are in the story, to where the Lemon Ended lines are.
Arc 2, Chapter 2: Arrangement with an Arachne
Rachnera wasn't quite certain what she had expected living in with a boyfriend to be like, but somehow she felt she had hit the motherload with Kimihito. Well, she had already known it was probably going to be good after she had gotten to know him on their dates, but she had heard that people changed when at home. That was only partly true with Kimihito; at home, his eccentricities were just more pronounced.
She still couldn't say that she had expected to see a room full of 'at home' science stuff, but it wasn't too weird. There were only a couple of things that Kimihito wigged out over and begged her to not touch, and as time went and they got more comfortable with each other, he spent less time tinkering with them on his own. What was weirder was just how...domesticated Kimihito was. Rachnera was a housebody, and knew how to keep a place looking at least okay, but Kimihito was like some wonder god about domestic chores. He could cook, he could clean, he could do everything.
Even her room, which was the old master bedroom that Kimihito had given up to her , was perfectly spotless, save for the more obvious webs that ended up being left everywhere from when she made clothes or other things was all cleaned. Kimihito hadn't found her secret lines though, the ones she set up for whenever she felt the urge to bind him, an urge she got… Rather often. He was just so easy to tie up, and she was growing increasingly certain that he liked it when she did it to him.
The biggest downside was that she felt a bit...intrusive. With Ren's family she had been able to hang around the house without really cutting into anyone's schedules, as Ren's mother was almost always home. Kimihito on the other hand had to cut a good number of courses to make enough time to meet the requirements of the homestay programme, though he said he didn't mind doing so.
Though could she really complain about having her boyfriend around more? No, not really. She still felt a bit bad about it, but the opportunities to tease Kimihito more than make up for it, and it wasn't like she was being a total load on him, with the homestay program providing a healthy stipend for taking him in. Still, the liminal couldn't help but feel there was more she could do.
She was trying to think it over as she spun herself a new outfit, situated in the living room and watching TV in the background as her fingers clicked away against each other. She was quite adept at it; the outfit had started as nothing more than an idea an hour ago, and it was already almost completed. It bore a significant resemblance to her usual attire, though a bit more conservative. Covering her breasts entirely, it also ran down her arms to the wrist. It was something of a test, as she was certain she was slowly ranging in on all Kimihito's hits and misses.
Rachnera was midway through the final weaves when her homestay stepped into the room from the kitchen. The black haired want-to-be scientist was holding some tea and snacks on a tray, and a warming smile on his face. "Hey Rachnee, thought you might want something to eat. Dinner is not going to be 'till after I get back from my class."
Did she mention that Kimihito had amazing cooking skills? Because if she hadn't, it very much bore repeating. Just the mention of dinner nearly caused her to drool a bit, distracting enough to very nearly made her miss her weave. She caught herself midway through the motion, and put the mistake right."Thanks, Honey, just set it on the table, I want to get this done before I have some."
The two had picked up their own pet names for each other, Kimihito had kinda started it with the conservative 'Rachnee' after he'd joked that she'd seemed more like a teasing older sister at the time then a girlfriend. Rachnera had gone for the much more blunt 'Honey' just a few moments after, and after the blushing response she'd gotten back kept using it at every opportunity.
She wasn't disappointed this time either, Kimihito blushed as he put the tray and cup on the table. "It's looking really good, Rachnee." There was a momentary light in the raven haired man's eye, and Rachnera grinned as she realized he was thinking how she would look with it on. "Though you know…" He put his hand to his chin in contemplation. "Have you ever considered selling your work? You're certainly skilled enough to do well as a special-order seller."
Rachnera paused for a moment, surprised she hadn't thought of it sooner. It was brilliant! She could use the money she made from the outfits to pay Kimihito back a bit, or at the very least take him out occasionally. Not to mention that it would keep her skills sharp, it wasn't like she needed a new outfit every other week.
"That's a great idea, Kimihito, I'll start that as soon as I finish this one." Rachnera gave a small grin, looking at her host and boyfriend. "Also make sure you finish your class quickly, I'm going to be done with this soon enough, and then I'm going to be...bored." The spider girl's smile grew a bit, and Kimihito gulped, the realization almost visible as it passed through his mind, suddenly aware that he'd probably not be touching the floor for a little while when he got home.
Still he nodded, and then excused himself, slipping out the door. After a moment's pause, he popped back into vision as he biked down the street, disappear again as he turned the first corner. "Mmmmm, maybe I should give him a bit of a reward for that little idea." The spider girl chuckled to herself with a rather more...perverse grin, even as her digits twisted and knitted the last strands of her outfit to completion.
-ISoaN-
Kimihito leaned back in his seat, his class was taking a ten minute break so he was stretching out his back and neck. Out of the corner of his eye he could see Ren was heading his way. For as much as the redheaded girl had practically foisted Rachnera on him, she was always worried about how the liminal was doing.
"Rachnera's fine Ren, just like yesterday, and the day before that." Kimihito half-groaned to the pig tailed girl as she came closer.
Ren responded with an non commital glare, before rolling her eyes. "I'm not here to ask about that, I'm actually wondering two things. One, can I get some of the notes from earlier? My attention slipped, and two, I was wondering how you were doing. I mean you're still taking as many courses you can, and you're looking after Rachnera, and you don't have a car, and I know how much monstergirls eat, and-"
"It's fine Ren, it's going fine." Kimihito cut off the blabbering redhead, chuckling with a tired little smile. "It's a bit of running around and cooking is a bit difficult, but well, not like I'd dislike having my girlfriend staying at my house." He paused, the smallest hint of a blush sneaking across his cheeks. "Especially not Rachnera."
"Well, that's good." Ren sighed. "I was just worried, it's a lot of things for you to do all at the same time, and I kinda feel like I hoisted my problems on you."
"I would have a very difficult time calling Rachnera a problem. Now stop worrying Ren, it's all going well, and I'm not going to blame you even if things do end up getting a bit difficult for me."
"Well...okay then, but I have to help you somehow! Maybe I can help you more with your classes. That would at least be something!" Ren practically begged, and eventually Kimihito sighed and nodded.
"Okay, well, if you want you can stop by the house sometimes to help me with homework, or at the very least help me keep notes when I can't make it to classes or something." The black haired boy said in response, and Ren practically jumped in response.
"Great! I can take notes for you for the rest of class if you want! It's not like the teacher is talking over anything complicated today anyways."
"But… I-I don't have to leave..." He cocked his head, looking visibly confused.
Ren pulled Kimihito to his feet, hand him his backpack, pushing him out of the classroom. "Yes you do, get back to your girlfriend already! I'll hold the fort here."
Shoved out of the classroom, Kimihito pondered going back in for a moment, before shrugging, and heading out to where he parked his bike, and from there, back to his house. He couldn't help but admit he was a bit excited at the prospects that were at home.
-*Lemon begins here, skip to next bold if you do not wish to read*-
Rachnera was mildly surprised to hear the door crack open, and immediately set down her near complete outfit. Glancing at the clock she saw that Kimihito wasn't supposed to be home for another half hour at best, and she hadn't seen anyone through the window. This all rang of something suspicious.
So as it was when she felt one of her wires trip, the spider girl was already prepared, and with a close of her hands she heard an incredibly brief 'wa' sound out from the main hall and felt her silk strands bind up whoever the intruder was.
Slinking out through the roof, she didn't even need to see her bindings to have an idea of the state she had left her target in, so she knew they wouldn't be able to see her up here. The spidergirl crawled along the ceiling, slipping out into the larger main hall, when she noticed who she caught.
She had to resist the urge to titer to herself, this was too great, she had Honey caught like a fly in her web, and she didn't even have to do anything. Instead she slunk along the ceiling, and then extended her legs until she was even with Kimihito's web covered cheek. "Mmmm, look what I have here. A little intruder."
Kimihito, given he was gagged, and the only part of him visible through the webbing was his eyes and part of his mouth, couldn't say anything except a muffled and pitable. "Mmmmph, phph."
"What's that? I couldn't quite hear you." Rachnera said, shifting her webbing just a bit so she could whisper into his ear, and she began nibbling on it. "Speak up or you'll be stuck like this."
"Mmmph!"
The nibbling grew a bit sharper, and Rachnera slipped her hand into the webbing to cut free both the webbing over his groin and, a moment later, his trousers, revealing that the scientist wasn't anywhere near turned off by the encounter. "Not speaking up anywhere near enough."
"Mmmmmmph!"
"A~and too late now." Rachnera grinned, and twisted the silk again, leaving Kimihito with his arms tied behind his back, his legs tied together, and pointed straight upright, his now exposed member standing proud and straight, spare the occasional twitch. With a dangerous smile on her face, the spidergirl held herself above him. "Look at this, so eager to be tied up like a little fly? So~o eager to be wrapped up and used by a spidergirl?"
Kimihito shook a bit against the bindings, but well...given how hard he was, he really couldn't say he wasn't eager about this. Especially since this was significantly farther than Rachnera's usual; 'tie him up in a provocative position and leave him there for a while' routine.
"Heh, trying to struggle now? Bit late for that when you're already wrapped up you know." Rachnera shifted sliding herself so that she was practically looking at him over his own shaft. "Mmm, wonder how you taste little fly."
Before Kimihito could even begin to process why that turned him on so much, he was introduced to the pleasure of a spidergirl's skilled tongue and mouth. Licking, sucking, all while keeping Kimihito bound so tight he could barely move an inch even in his strongest jerks. He could feel tension building within him, much faster than he would have liked to admit, but really, he had nothing he could compare to this incredible pleasure.
Then, just as he was about to go over the edge, the feeling stopped, reduced to just warm breath onto his painfully hard shaft, and Rachnera's voice would cut through his thoughts. "Mmmm, actually, I'll have all the time I could want to savour your taste, but for now...let's skip to the main course shall we?"
With that Rachnera picked herself up once more, and crawled forward, trailing her tongue along Kimihito's pinned form, until she was nibbling on his neck. "Hope you are ready Honey, this will be...fun." Dragging herself further up, she pulled him into a deep kiss even as she untied her loincloth, revealing a dripping human pussy just where her human side met it's arachnid counterpart.
"Heh, to think tying you up and teasing you would get me this wet… Maybe I'm even more of a freak then I thought." Rachnera grinned as she broke the kiss, before making the last shift to join them. Kimihito's heated member pressed against her own, needy petals, and a moment's hesitation passed through her. Was she really willing to take this last step, one that while Kimihito might have forgotten, she was quite aware, was illegal by those silly laws?
After a moment's pause she mentally slapped herself. She was Rachnera Arachnera dammit! She would not be having second thoughts, especially not when she was in the middle of dominating the only human that had actually been unfailingly nice to her the entire time she was in Japan. Not to mention the two had been living together for nearly two months now, and had been dating for even longer than that. If she wasn't ready now she'd probably never be.
Still...there was one thing to do first.
Kimihito, meanwhile, was waiting with baited breath, the anticipation was absolutely killing him, to say nothing of the fact that Rachnera's last little shift had stuck her breasts directly into his face, and the gag mixed with her heavenly soft mounds were doing a very solid job of suffocating him. He was about to start struggling again when Rachnera seemed to wake from her pause, and pulled back just a bit to give him air. He wasn't able to be relieved though, because he felt webbing spin around the base of his member.
"Mmmm, I felt you twitching. We can't have you going off before I've had my fill can we Honey?" Rachnera's voice was sickly sweet as the webbing drew tight, just a moment before the spiderwoman dropped down and took him in entirely. She barely even paused for her own hymen breaking, though she did bite her tongue as the pain passed through her, giving herself a moment to adjust before it faded away. Monstergirls were not exactly ones to have to worry about truly painful first times.
She was thinking of something good to say to her pinned lover, when she realized she was already talking. "You know, despite how big I am, I don't think I've ever felt this full before." Well...not everything she had to say had to be great.
Not giving Kimihito a chance to think on that little embarrassing admission, she'd start to ride him, or more specifically, use her webbing to drive them together without even having to move a muscle. The webs tightening and slackening to set a slow and deliberate pace, letting herself enjoy the feeling of Kimihito rubbing against her inner walls, and while she didn't actually realize it, her body was adjusting, fitting itself to make Kimihito's member a better fit for her large size. All she would recognize was that each time her skin met her black haired lover's, she'd feel even more pleasure than the last.
Speaking of her black haired Honey though, the boy was writhing in her bindings, and she could probably tell why. They had barely even started and he was twitching desperately inside her, but she wasn't about to let him go until she herself was ready to climax, though by happy coincidence his twisting and turning was helping hit some of her much more sensitive spots by pure accident.
Despite her best attempts to keep her voice level, her words came out as something much closer to a moan then anything else. "Keep that up Honey, if you want me to let you finish."
The two continued at their passionate, web-aided embrace, Rachnera speeding up their pace with every passing minute as she continued to work herself toward a climax, and soon enough she started to feel the tension building in her body. Her breath began to come in pants, and she had to bite her tongue to keep it from sliding past her lips in a shameful, lust drenched expression.
What she couldn't keep herself from doing though, was setting a pace just short of hip shattering as the tension continued to mount, nearly blanking everything out of her mind, before suddenly every muscle in her body crashed tense at once. A loud cry escaped her lips as she clamped down on Kimihito, and her squeezed fist cut the silk thread she had been using to keep her pent-up boyfriend from going off himself.
Rachnera was not ready for the deluge of warmth that filled her and she practically climaxed again at the feeling of Kimihito filling her, but eventually all things had to come to an end and the glorious release settled to a bright afterglow.
She had been just about to start again when she looked down and saw Kimihito. The man half looked like his spirit had departed as he lay limp in the webbing, but before she could panic she realised, much to her relief, he was still breathing, albeit slowly. Judging by the even more blank look in his eyes then usual however, she may have held him back just a pinch too much...
"Heh, well, lesson learned." She said as she pulled off of him and shifted so she could give him a kiss on the lips, followed by a light slap on the cheeks to get him back to reality. "We'll just have to work on your stamina won't we?" Then her smile turned teasing. "For now though, I think you mentioned something about dinner being ready for when you got back?"
-*Lemon has finished*-
Kimihito was sore, extremely sore. After he had been let down to cook dinner, he had had just enough time to finish cooking and eating when he had been tied back up again, and Rachnera had introduced him to the stamina and need of a monstergirl that had just lost their virginity.
So now he was trying to bike his way to school while he could hardly feel his legs. Or his groin... Or his hips for that matter. He would have to toughen himself up in the future, or be a cripple by the time he turned forty.
Still, he could not complain. He had heard horror stories about first times, but well… It seemed that didn't apply to monstergirls, or perhaps it was just Rachnera. Either way it had been a night to remember, and he wasn't going to deny he was looking forward to the next time.
In that same breath, Kimihito had to try to hide his injuries as best he could, he had no idea if Smith and her group were watching, and he had only remembered that morning that well… The last night was firmly in the bounds of 'illegal' as far as the current laws were concerned, and if they were caught then Rachnera was going to get deported at best, and himself arrested and her deported at worst. As such, he would keep going, hiding the bruises as best he could as he continued toward school.
Little did he know he really didn't need to worry.
-ISoaN-
A few blocks away, on a tall apartment building, five women were sitting. One looking through the scope of a sniper rifle, one through a pair of binoculars, and the other three were busy having a card game around a portable table. The one with the binoculars would have been a familiar face to Kimihito, given it was Ms. Smith.
"Heh, look at that. Seems like Rachnera really did a number on him. The tapes didn't do it justice." Smith said with a laugh to herself. "He's probably freaking out."
"U-Ummm, I still t-think we shouldn't have those c-cameras in his house…" The girl at the sniper rifle said as she stepped back from her weapon.
One of the other girls, who sported a collection of stitching and oddly coloured skin, chuckled, and played a card, while the dark skinned, silver haired girl across from her asked. "Why aren't we enforcing the law with them again?"
"Well…" Smith rubbed the back of her head. "We kinda screwed up with Rachnera's first placement." The agent cocked her head to one side, grimacing at thought of having to report any of this debacle to her superiors. The expression passed, and she chuckled."Not to mention, it's adorable, and no one can say no to whatever Tio finds adorable… So we'll let them have their fun, the laws are going to change any day now anyways, legal snafus as big as this rarely stick around for long. For now…" Smith checked her phone, building up the tension as the others leaned in, expecting some work. "Let's get lunch." Their collective sigh of relief was only slightly dulled by the irate shout of a tenant below telling them to get off the roof.
-ISoaN-
Another month on, and two things changed for the homestay couple. First, Kimihito no longer needed to spend a day or two recovering after every bout of evening 'exercise' with his spider-girlfriend. Second, he received a notification in the mail that included a list of changed laws.
He skimmed, growing increasingly stuck between tense and excited as he scanned the bullet points, pausing on one, vital line, hiding innocently, half-way down the document between a section on homestay stipends in southern prefectures, and a note on proper care of temperature-sensitive liminals in the coming winter.
'27b - The definition of physical harm as pertaining to the aforementioned law, has been changed to give special exception to intercourse.'.
Kimihito, who had been downstairs cooking breakfast when the letter had arrived, half-sprinted up the staircase, only to find that Rachnera wasn't in their room. "Rachnera?"
"In...here, Honey." Rachnera's voice answered from the bathroom down the hall, sounding much worse for ware, which had Kimihito coming a running.
Sliding to the bathroom door he looked in and said. "Rachnera, are you-"
"No Honey...ugh. I am definitely not okay." Rachnera cut him off, the spider girl was leaning over the toilet, and had obviously been having a bout of nausea. Kimihito didn't even say anything and just moved over to give Rachnera a half hug as he waited for her to recover.
It would be a few minutes later when Rachnera seemed to gain a bit of colour to her already normally pale cheeks, and she'd give Kimihito a tired smile as she stood back up. "Thanks Honey, but I think I might need to pass on breakfast...I don't think my stomach is going to agree with me being hungry…"
"Should we go to the doctors?" Kimihito sounded worried, liminals were extremely hardy, and if Rachnera was sick it was likely something serious.
Said spidergirl was about to say that she was fine, but...she could see the look in his eyes. He really was worried for her, and it made her feel nice inside even if she didn't quite let it show. Instead she just sighed. "Okay, we should probably call Smith, they have to have a clinic or something set up for something like this..."
"I'll go make the call, you just go back to bed and rest." Kimihito said with a bit of command in his tone, and Rachnera couldn't help but chuckle a bit as she half-stumbled back towards the bedroom, wondering just what she had come down with.
-ISoaN-
"Pregnant!?" Rachnera half shouted, before slamming her hands over her mouth, hoping that Kimihito hadn't heard her through the walls of the clinic.
The doctor, a professional looking catgirl adjusted her glasses and said. "Yes, it looks like you are about a month along. I should probably report you since it was before the law change," She paused as Rachnera's face fell, a cheeky smile crossing the MD's face. "But maybe just this once we can stretch that patient-doctor confidentiality thing. Either way, I'd prefer to say, congratulations!"
Rachnera was shellshocked. "...I….thank you?" The spidergirl was in a daze at the news, though there was a sickening sense of alarm rising through her, before she quashed it with a shake of her head. She wouldn't let herself fall into panic, she was better than that!
"I'll just go out and tell your boyfriend if that is fine with you?" The doctor 'asked' as she was already starting to open the door.
The panic shot back up to near bursting in Rachnera and the catgirl found herself yanked away from the door by a string of webbing. "W-wait. L-let me just collect my thoughts first."
"That's perfectly understandable, miss Arachnera, take all the time you need." The doctor sat down on her chair, waiting for the spider girl to prepare herself.
Rachnera took a fair bit longer to collect herself then she really would ever admit. Externally, she managed to keep herself looking calm enough that the catgirl seemed to be surprised that she wasn't ready to talk to Kimihito yet. Internally though Rachnera was terrified about telling her boyfriend, how would he take it? Would he end up finding some way to send her back home…
Again she mentally slapped herself, she would not think so low of Kimihito! Looking to the doctor she'd nod, not trusting her mouth still enough to actually say anything. Then she'd take a deep breath and wait, still a hint of worry.
She needn't have concerned herself, as just a few seconds later Kimihito had seemingly materialized in the room, yanking her into a tight embrace. "I'm so sorry Rachnera! I should have worn protection or...something! But don't worry, I'll take responsibility!"
Rachnera remained silent for a moment, before beginning to chuckle, which turned into a full blown laugh as relief flooded through her. The idea that she had even doubted Kimihito for a moment, now amusing to her. She hugged the raven haired man back, voice soft and soothing "No need to apologize, though I might not be so forgiving in a few months when I'm all big and swollen."
"Well, don't worry I'll take care of you both, though uhh, is there going to be...anything unusual happening?" The last bit was directed more toward the doctor, Kimihito trying to plan ahead.
"Nothing too different than a normal human pregnancy, though Rachnera should be able to move around much better than humans can…" She paused, something suddenly coming to mind, the catgirl slapping herself on the forehead for forgetting. "Oh! Before I forget. It will only last six months, not nine." The pair nodded, and a few minutes later the two now turned three... Or more, were on their way home.
-ISoaN-
At the house, a bemused Rachnera would found herself in the living room, which had since been populated by an enormous footrest, though it was so large that it now served much more as a chair for the spidergirl then an ottoman.
Kimihito meanwhile, was trying to make her as comfortable as possible.
"Kimihito." She said quietly.
The raven haired boy was moving in a flurry of motion as he brought food, water, pillows, everything.
"Kimihito..." Rachnera said a bit louder.
Kimihito was about to head out of the room to grab something else for her, until Rachnera caught him with a thread and held him still.
"Kimihito! I'm fine." Rachnera finally said with a slightly raised tone as she pulled Kimihito right back to her like a yo-yo, catching him in a hug that kept him from going anywhere, and landed his head between her breasts. "Now just sit here and be a good teddybear got it? I still think the idea of me having an egg growing in me is settling in."
"Yeah, it's definitely not what I was expecting to hear any time soon, but ummm... I can't say if I'm sure if it's bad news you know?" Kimihito said uncertainly as he settled into the embrace.
Rachnera took a moment to consider what he said, before resting her chin on his head. "Yeah, though I would have prefered if it hadn't happened so soon. It's a good thing Mom isn't around, she'd probably make what I do to you look tame as revenge."
Kimihito gulped and made a note to self to banish the mental image that put in his head, sometime later…
"Mmmmm, I guess I've broken you in a bit faster than I thought Honey." Rachnera said with a small chuckle, and Kimihito felt himself being poked somewhere intimate. "But I'm not quite feeling up to that for now, so stop tempting me will you?"
-*Lemon begins here, skip to next bold if you do not wish to read*-
A few weeks later, Kimihito would learn something that most men across the world have learned at some point in their lives. Namely, that looking after a pregnant significant other was significantly harder than you would expect. Especially when you were also planning a… Surprise in the wings.
At the moment, he was dealing with one of Rachnera's cravings. Namely for…'protein.'
In short, it meant he was currently naked, hanging from the rafters in a teardrop of webbing, with Rachnera, sporting a mildly rounded belly, making her way down from the ceiling toward him.
The spidergirl's sultry voice graced Kimihito's ears, shivers it induced visible as the webbing quivered. "Mmmm, I hope you're ready Honey, I'm ve~ery hungry."
Kimihito couldn't respond, and it wasn't just because of how bad he was at dirty talk. Rachnera really did like her gags. He was ready though, as ready as he could be anyways, this was just another incident that all that 'training' with Rachnera before was for. He braced himself, exhaling slowly as he controlled his breathing.
His stoicism lasted what could be measured in microseconds after Rachnera's warm lips wrapped around his tip, just like every other time. One day he'd manage to not break under his girlfriend's incredible native skill, but today was not that day.
Rachnera chuckled at Kimihito's groan, the spidergirl had to admit, being pregnant gave some serious advantages. She could hide just about anything behind a craving, and she was making use of that as much as she could get away with, especially with regards to getting Kimihito all tied up and at her mercy. Mostly because she had found she quite...liked her boyfriend's taste.
Dropping down Kimihito's member, circling her tongue over the tip, Rachnera grinned to herself. Kimihito really was too adorable for his own good. He probably would have gotten her the moon if she asked,. Anything she had requested he'd thus far found a way to get, and she had been tempted to abuse it more than she already was, but couldn't bring herself to do it. She was getting enough 'training' time with Kimihito that she thought that the raven haired man would be able to survive when her mother showed up, which was very much now a 'when' not an 'if'.
For now though, she let that thought float away, instead preferring to focus on servicing Kimihito to the best of her ability. The relentless teasing was doing quite a number on the bound man, the arachne could feel Kimihito twitching against the roof of her mouth, and she knew what was about to come. All it took was just one more lick and she was provided with the protein she was 'craving.' The warm semi-liquid rolling its way down her throat as she milked Kimihito for all he was worth.
And that would just be the first time of many that night.
-*Lemon has finished*-
"Kimihito, is it just me or are you looking more...desiccated than normal?" Ren asked, sitting across from the previously mentioned man at a lab table. The experiment was quite simple, so neither of them really needed to focus on it too much.
Ren was right though, Kimihito was looking just a bit... Dried out, for lack of a better term. His cheeks were gaunt, and he was a little paler than usual, to say nothing of the small bags which were forming under his eyes. Ren had what she thought was an idea, but she really didn't want to put it to words, so she'd let Kimihito do that for her.
"Rachnera is being a bit more, well, her, then usual." Kimihito said with an amused sigh. "But I'm fine. I just need to drink more."
"Hmm? What's gotten into Her?" Ren asked, her suspicions confirmed.
While Ren had been right, she had absolutely no idea about the rather important part, namely that Rachnera was pregnant. Kimihito had never really gotten around to telling her, mostly because of how busy he was with Rachnera. He had only been able to see his friend at school, and even then was only attending the bare minimum of classes anyways.
Kimihito looked around, and saw that they were practically the last group left in the lab, so he figured he could tell her now. Scratching the back of his neck he searched for a way to explain the situation without just awkwardly blurting it out. After a moment's pause, and finding nothing, he just visibly braced himself, and in a deadpan voice said. "Well...Rachnera's pregnant."
There was a moment's pause as Ren's eyes widened almost comically, before her enormous voice bellowed out the last thing he'd be capable of hearing for a few minutes.
"WHAT?!"
Once his hearing returned, the ringing in his ears went away, and the car-alarm outside the window stopped, , Kimihito found himself bombarded with question after question, mostly along the veins of "When did that happen!?"
The raven haired boy waited until the barrage was finally done, unable to find even the smallest gap where he could cut in and answer during the confused tirade.
"Four months ago now, we're expecting within the next two, though uhh, I wouldn't come stop by our house. Rachnera is likely to just pull you into her webs."
Ren took a moment to ponder it, and a blush passed over her face as she considered what Kimihito meant, before she frowned and asked apprehensively. "Well, you're planning to marry her right? Right?"
"I-I'm not sure." Kimihito returned nervously. "I got a ring and everything... But can I really do this?"
Ren's eyes narrowed a bit as she realized what Kimihito was getting up, but before she could say anything Kimihito started talking more.
"I'm not even out of university for god's sake! I don't have a job, I have no hopes of getting a job for another few years at this rate. I'm able to look after Rachnera thanks to her contributing to the house funds and what the government gives me, but if I marry her then we're going to lose the government funds, and that's just considering us two. How am I ever going to provide for our kid as well?"
That had been entirely said in seemingly a single breath, and Ren's eyes narrowed further, before she slapped him on the back of the head, quite hard. "Quit that! You're overthinking it Kimihito! You're a smart guy, you'll be able to find work easily once you're out of uni, and I'm sure you can figure something out before then!"
"But I've looked Ren, all the jobs either have too much time requirement, or they're volunteer work which doesn't help and-."
"What did I just say!" Another hit, and Kimihito would stop ranting and actually cower a bit at the look on Ren's face. "You're a man right? Then suck it up and work through it! You'll find something."
Kimihito was losing the stamina to argue with her. Ren could be inspiring when she wanted to be. Not at all a permanent solution, but very uplifting all the same. Ah, perhaps another time... "Maybe I can find a way to make this work. Though now I just need to find a good time to ask her."
The last bit there would earn Kimihito a light slap on the top of his sore head, followed by a few others. "You will find a way to make this work. You're Kimi-motherfucking-hito." Ren beamed at him with something that the boy and girl did not often show each other - a tender admiration. He beheld that redhead's look for a pleasant while.
Then she slapped him lightly twice more.
"And it's always a good time to ask Rachnera! Do it today! After the lab, before you end up getting nervous and delay or something!"
Kimihito pulled back from the mostly-playful blow, and put his hands in front of him defensively. "H-Hey! Fine I'll ask her tonight, just stop hitting me!"
"Good, and you better tell me how it goes without waiting four months first this time!"
-ISoaN-
Kimihito gulped as he stood at his own doorway. The box in his pocket, transferred there from where it had been in his bag before, felt like a lead weight as he reached up for the doorknob, and tentatively turned it. Keeping his pace slow as he tried to avoid getting caught up in Rachnera's webs.
Months of training having managed to let him spot the threads out just a little bit, given the right light, and he was able to get the door closed without being tied up, before he'd shout into the house. "Rachnera? I'm home. How's it going?"
"Ohh is that you Honey? I didn't hear the door." Rachnera's voice drifted back from the living room. She poked her head into the hall, followed a moment later by the rest of her body. For some rather confusing reason of biology the egg Rachnera was baring didn't move into her spider half until more or less just before the birth, so her human side's belly was quite swollen, and it made maneuvering around even harder for the woman, though in a minor side benefit the spiderwoman's already large breasts had swollen even further thanks to milk that the child wouldn't need for some time.
Kimihito tried not to focus on that, and, after just a moment of failing, switched his attention back to his love's face. "I have a surprise for you."
-MEANWHILE-
On the far side of town, five women were glued to a monitor, a monitor that was displaying an image from one of the tiny cameras the in the Kurusu residence. The first was leering in because they were enamoured with the words Kimihito was saying, as they could tell just where this was going much to their giddiness. The second because it was like being a voyeur; she felt bad about it but she just couldn't look away. The third, because she had gotten into it like it was a daytime soap opera. The fourth because she was secretly hoping she would get to see Kimihito, for example, fall flat on his face and fail in the middle of his proposal.
The last was Ms. Smith, who was rubbing her hands together and chuckling half-evilly and half-happily. Her odd reaction only increased when Kimihito dropped to his knee, and they heard over the camera's microphone. "Rachnera, would you marry me?"
Tio, the girl glued to the monitor because of the incredibly romantic sight, squealed at the words, and fell into unconsciousness bliss when Rachnera responded with an emphatic. "Yes" a moment before the spider girl pulled the black haired boy into a powerful hug and deep kiss.
The monitor switched off at that point, as a dissatisfied Dopple pouted. "Damn, and here I was hoping he'd make a fool of himself or something."
Ms. Smith though, was still laughing to herself. "Ohh this is great, with the first Human-Monster marriage happening with one of my charges is going to get me that raise for sure this time! Finally!"
-ISoaN-
Wedding planning between the nerdy Kimihito, and the homebody Rachnera, was surprisingly simple compared to the average wedding, as they had decided to conduct a shinto wedding instead of a western one on Rachnera's insistence of all things. As such, there was only a very limited selection of invitations to be sent out, and Rachnera wanted to provide her own kimono for the event, and one for Kimihito as well, so costs were pretty much nothing.
So as it was, it was barely a few weeks after Kimihito's proposal, that both the black haired boy, clad in a deep blue kimono made out of Rachnera's silk, an item that he would probably keep forever given how well made it was, and Rachnera, clad in a pure, nearly blinding, white kimono made from the same, along with a white paper hat, were walking to the altar behind a kitsune shrine maiden who seemed much too young for the job.
Behind the two was a very small collection of humans, and a single arachne, though it was that monstergirl that drew the most attention out of the congregation. The large spiderwoman had arrived just an hour before the ceremony due to her flight being delayed, and Kimihito had gotten to meet the liminal that was going to be his mother in law only for a minute or two before the ceremony had begun, and had been quite terrified.
Nomiki Arachnera was like Rachnera, if you took out Rachnera's softness and replaced it in it's entirety with teasing sadism. The meeting had literally been nothing more than an introduction, and just the smile Nomiki had sported would have been enough to confirm for him that the woman was 'dangerous', even if Rachnera hadn't warned him ahead of time about her mother's tendency to be a manbreaker.
The other four members of the small group that made up the congregation, was both of Kimihito's parents, who had taken the time off there work to fly back to see their son get married, though they had actually been on the same flight Nomiki had been on, which caused the two to cast semi-frightened glances back at the spiderwoman, having briefly thought she was following them as they disembarked at the airport, and at her daughter that Kimihito was marrying.
The last two were Miss Smith, there by government requirement as part of her duty as Rachnera's coordinator, and Ren, who had been the matchmaker in the two's relation and thus was granted a spot in the wedding ceremony.
Kimihito himself was taking deep breaths as he walked toward the altar ahead, both to keep his nerves down, and to help keep his attention from being lost looking at Rachnera's kimono-clad form. Even her belly swollen with their daughter was not even a minor detriment to her appearance, to Kimihito it was just made her look even more beautiful. It really wouldn't do for him to end up stumbling to a dumbstruck stop if he turned his head just a bit too much and lost himself.
Rachnera meanwhile was taking her own deep breaths, causing her large chest to strain against her kimono much to Kimihito's consternation. The spidergirl was nervous like her fiance, but she was also nervous for another reason, namely she could feel her mother's gaze boring into her and Kimihito's back. She knew after the ceremony she was going to have to be on her toes if she wanted to keep the woman from making a move on her husband.
Soon enough the two reached the altar, and followed through the priest's purifications and readings, and watched through the shrine maidens dance before it became time to exchange the cups. Kimihito felt giddy as they went through the ceremony stage-by-stage, the half lidded look Rachnera gave him when the priest wasn't looking sending a shiver through his spine.
Finally came the vow, and Kimihito had to take a moment to get his lungs working again before he spoke, saying in one way what innumerable men before him had said in countless others.. "We make this marriage vow respectfully before the Hikawa deity. We Kimihito Kurusu and Rachnera Kurusu are delighted to be able to make our vows on this great day, and to become husband and wife through the blessing of the Hikawa deity. We swear before the Hikawa deity to love and respect each other forever, and to strive to bring our family prosperity. Moreover, we swear never to veer from the true path of matrimony, and to work to share the divine grace of Hikawa deity by helping people and society."
Kimihito added a quick thanks to Ren for bringing the two together, causing the redhead to bounce a little bit on her feet from where she was standing in the congregation.
With the vow finished, the offering passed by in a haze of happiness., Iif asked, Kimihito would have forgotten it even happened, as the next thing he remembered was slipping their wedding ring onto one of Rachnera's armoured fingers, and the few members of the congregation shared in rice wine with eachother, with Ren being accounted as part of Rachnera's family much to her own discomfort.
There was no reception planned, Kimihito's parents, a friendly looking man with a goatee and a mousy looking woman, were only able to hang around for an hour or so after the ceremony before they would have to fly back to Europe for their work. Still, that was more than enough time for Kimihito to introduce them properly to their new daughter in law.
"Mom, Dad, I know it's a bit awkward but I'd like to introduce you properly to Rachnera." Kimihito said as he approached the two with a smile on his face. Rachnera was smiling just as blissfully behind him, and the two elder Kurusus were able to dissociate her from her mother thanks to that.
"Heh, I wish we could have met before this Rachnera, but welcome to the family." Mr. Kurusu said with a grin and a half bow. "Though I guess you and Kimihito did not have long to wait did you?" He added as he straightened out, it was rather hard to miss Rachnera's belly afterall.
Mrs. Kurusu meanwhile was busy yanking on Kimihito's ear despite her delicate appearance. "I can't believe I raised a boy that would wait until his girlfriend was pregnant before he married her!"
"M-Mom!" Kimihito started to complain, before Rachnera would provide his rescue with a cough.
"Mmmm, it was my fault Honey got me pregnant before he had the opportunity to, technically, we weren't even legally allowed to get married when this happened…" Rachnera said with a nervous chuckle, not quite sure just how much she wanted to let the parents in on, so she'd quickly change the subject when Mrs. Kurusu let go of Kimihito's ear. "As for how long, I will be laying the egg before the end of the month most likely, and it will be another two after that until she's born."
"We will have to see about getting that time off. With a bit more forewarning we can probably get a week or two off instead of just a day." Mr. Kurusu said with a nod. "I think we'd both like to be there when our granddaughter is born."
"Granddaughter." Mrs. Kurusu said almost reverently, before shaking her head. "I can't believe I'm saying that already! I'm not that old."
"Mmmm, and how do you think I feel?" Another voice, one tinted with a hint of danger said into the conversation, and a moment later Nomiki would step up to the group. "I have a granddaughter and I'm not even forty yet. I was expecting to have a few more daughters before I had a granddaughter. Though maybe I can fill that with these two"
The laugh that followed from Nomiki along with the lustful look at both male Kurusus, was enough to put the three humans on edge a bit, and caused Rachnera to glare at her mother. "Mom, don't talk like that about my Honey! Or about his dad!"
"Tip number ten my dear daughter. No matter how many men you've caught in your web, you shouldn't give up on finding some more." Nomiki said with a grin, and both Rachnera and Mrs. Kurusu put themselves between the spider woman and their respective husbands.
Luckily it was at that point that the taxis arrived to take Mr and Mrs. Kurusu to the airport, and Nomiki to her hotel, Rachnera having insisted that the elder Arachnera not stay at their house.
Just as the taxis were pulling away, Kimihito felt a different presence behind him, and the two would turn and see Ms. Smith, who'd been comfortably emptying her glass for a time, standing there with an envelope in her hand, and a smirk on her face. "A little redheaded birdy told me you were in need of some work Kimihito. Lucky for you I'm a caring supervisor." She chuckled at her own joke, and handed him the envelope. "Job details are in there, we can take you on part time as an assistant. Thanks to you two getting married, my department's budget got quite the expansion, so we can afford to pay you pretty well. Just-"
Whatever Ms. Smith was about to say next was cut off when Kimihito bowed low, "Thank you." He practically shouted with eagerness, before straightening back up. "I'll accept whatever work you can give me."
Rachnera looked a bit confused, but shrugged, she could always ask him about it later. As it was Ren was just coming over to give her congratulations to the couple.
-ISoaN-
Two months later, Rachnera, Kimihito, Ren, both elder Kurusus and Nomiki were all collected in the younger Kurusu's living room. The boy and his wife were sitting on the couch as Rachnera's egg, which was shaking on its own accord in the arachne's arms with Kimihito looking on, neared hatching. Ren and the elder Krususus were on the other couch with Kimihito's parents, who managed to actually get a whole month off work and had arrived the day before. All the better to spend time with their son and his new family.
Nomiki had become a semi regular appearance at the Kurusu household, along with ever increasingly, Ren. The elder Arachnera had decided she liked Japan, and had moved into a house a few blocks away, where she made regular attempts to convince Rachnera to share Kimihito for an evening or two. That said attempts had succeeded once or twice only egged her on more.
Ren, meanwhile, had taken to beating her phobia through exposure, and as such had made it her goal to become actual friends with Rachnera, and had started to come over to visit with her former homestay a few times a week. Perhaps it was a good thing she didn't find the determination to do so while the spiderwoman lived under her roof and not Kimihito's.
It was a stroke of luck that all of them had been at the house at the same time the egg had started to hatch. They were just talking about their favourite things to drink when the silk ball that it was hidden inside started to tear in Rachnera's grip, exposing a chitin covered leg, followed by a few other legs that would cut the silk with growing strength.
At last, after moments of baited-breath and tension, the entire thing unraveled and revealed a small arachne child, six bright red eyes as solid as her mother's, black tufts of hair like her father, and a black carapace with a small...skull and crossbones like shape of all thing on the spider abdomen.
And so Katerina Kurusu was born.
