Chapter 19: A Virginal Night
Keitaro, Motoko, Kitsune, and Naru were all staring into a large room that was made for large groups. It wass very well decorated and it seemed it had enough space for them. The next room could be seen clearly as well. It was there that they could see four futons put down next to each other.
"Well," Keitaro spoke. "It's a pretty nice room."
"Yes it is isn't it?" the hostess smiled. "Whenever we're in season we get flodded with all sorts of couples."
She then looked at Keitaro with a sneaky look in here eyes. She leaned in slightly closer, whispering to Keitaro.
"Although, you're the first boy I've seen come in here with three pretty girls. You lucky dog."
A crimson flush came to Keitaro's face as what the hostess' words came to her face.
"It's not like that!" he spoke pleadingly. "Really!"
"Oh don't worry about it," the hostesss giggled. "I won't tell a soul."
Kitsune was overhearing the silent conversation and she broke out into her usual foxy grin. she walked seductively over to Keitaro and draped her arms over his shoulders.
"Oh Keitaro," she sighed wistfully. "We promised to share you. Could you at least give us something to share?"
Keitaro's face turned beet red while Motoko and Naru's did the exact same.
"Kitsune!" the three of them cried embarrassedly.
The hostess beegan to giggle uncontrollably. She was still in a fit of giggles when she motioned for the four younger people to follow them. They followed them and found that dinner had been served already.
"This entire meal has been prepared in the traditional Japanese way. It really boosts the energy," the hostess explained. "One of you ladies will have a wonderful night."
"None of us are lovers!" Naru cried pleadingly. "Honestly!"
"Oh don't worry," the hostess smiled. "I won't say a word."
The hostess moved to the door, but she stopped by the dresser, "By the way, we keep all 'necessities' in theis drawer. Good night."
'Necessities?' Keitaro thought to himself. 'What did she mean by that?'
The four friends sat to their meals and began munching away. Motoko had actually taken the time to prepare some tea and poured everyone a cup. Keitaro and Kitsune took a seat at one side of the table while Motoko and Naru sat on the other side.
"Thanks Motoko," Keitaro smiled. "Man, I wasn't quite expecting this to happen."
"Quite," Motoko agreed. "Although I cannot help but be surprised by the hostess. How perverted can one person be?"
"Well," Kitsune smiled. "If our little Keitaro isn't a pervert then I guess a woman can be."
Keitaro had turned his attention from the conversation to the four futons in the next room. He could easily tell that the other girls probably wouldn't want to sleep right next to him. Well, Kitsune might but that still left Motoko and Naru.
As he was considering the options, Kitsune saw him looking at the futons. A grin came to her face as she decided to tease him.
"Why are you looking at the futons stud?" she smirked. "Having dirty thoughts?"
Keitaro broke into a fierce blush while Motoko and Naru snapped their attention towards him. They both had suspecting looks on their faces.
"No!" Keitaro frowned. "I was just thinking that we could move them if anyone was uncomfortable with them the way they are."
Motoko dropped her suspcious look and nodded slightly, "I suppose. That is a good idea."
"Yeah, I guess," Naru agreed with a nod.
Keitaro shook his head. He then turned to Kitsune, intent on facing something that had been bugging him for a while.
"Hey Kitsune," he spoke. "Why do you call me 'stud' anyway?"
Kitsune opened her right eye as she glanced over at Keitaro. A gentle smile creeped across her features.
"Why?" she asked. "I thought that was obvious. You're the stud of Hinata House. You're the only guy there after all. Besides, it sounds cute. Does it bug you?"
"Not really," Keitaro shrugged. "I just kinda wanted to know. Especially since I don't see myself as a real stud."
Kitsune smiled again as she latched onto Keitaro's arm. motoko visibly stiffened, but she didn't say anything.Naru watched with mild interest. She knew Kitsune was after Keitaro, but she didn't have a clue that Motoko had the same targeet in mind.
"Well, you're a stud to me," Kitsune whispered into Keitaro's ear, her breath making the hair on the back of his neck stand up. "You're one of a kind."
Keitaro started getting flustered at her words. Motoko started trembling at the sight of Kitsune getting so closer to Keitaro. She was gripping her cup of tea so tightly that it had cracked.
"Okay!" Keitaro sputtered as he stood up quickly. "I'd better call Shinobu!"
Keitaro then made a beeline straight for the exit of the room. Kitsune started giggling while Motoko and Naru sweatdropped. Naru shook her head and returned to her meal.
"You shouldn't tease him like that," Naru sighed. "You'll give him a deadly nose bleed."
"It's fun," Kitsune smirked. "Besides, he's cute when he blushes."

Later that night, Keitaro found himself staring at the futons again with Naru, Motoko, and Kitsune. They had all eaten dinner and were contemplating the formation of the beds.
"So who wants which one?" he asked, slightly nervous.
It was one thing for him to shared a night with Su and Kitsune. The younger girl never really let him even think about the fact that he was sleeping right next to Kitsune. Her iron grip on his back kind of deterred any thoughts from that. Kitsune had even behaved herself.
Even with all that in mind, Keitaro now found himself a little uncomfortable. He was sharing a room with three very attractive girls. Most guys would rejoice at this. Keitaro, on the other hand, was beginning to dread it. He knew that if he made one slip, Naru would punch his face in before Motoko removed it. Kitsune would probably just make it worse by flirting with him.
'Another bloody nose and I'll need a transfusion,' Keitaro sighed inwardly.
He was pulled out of his thoughts when Kitsune grabbed his arm. He gulped when he saw the foxy grin on her face. Without a word, she dragged Keitaro over to the futons and dropped him on the one second from the left. She then put herself in the one on his right.
"We'll take these ones," she smiled. "It's going to be a cold night after all."
Keitaro sighed as he felt a flush come to his face. Kitsune was really stepping up on her flirting games. He wasn't sure why or else he'd know how to stop her. He looked up to see Motoko walking silently towards them and sit herself on the futon to his left. She looked at Keitaro as she felt his confused glance towards her.
"What?" she asked.
"Well, uh," Keitaro sputtered. "I thought you of all people wouldn't like a guy sleeping in the same room as you."
"That is normally true," Motoko nodded with her cheeks slowly turning rosy. "However, tonight we have no choice and I know you wouldn't try to take advantage of the situation."
"Go that right," Keitaro smiled. "I like my head where it is."
"As do I," Motoko nodded with a slight smile.
Before Keitaro could really catch the true meaning of what Motoko had said, Naru and walked over to the last futon and dragged it away from the others before settling into it.
"I find you anywhere near me you die, got it?" She asked, half seriously.
"Got it," Keitaro nodded quickly.
All four of them then settled in for the night. Keitaro shut off the light and allowed himself to relax for a change. He could hear the ambient noises of Kyoto and the soft breathing of the two girls next to him. He found himself becoming slightyl drowsy when he heard something. It sounded like a soft sigh coming from Naru's bed. Keitaro sat up and looked over to see her tangled up in the sheets. Sighing to himself, Keitaro stood up and walked over to her so to fix the blankets. No way was he going to let her catch cold after all they went through.
He walked over to her bed and gently grabbed her blanket. He had to be gentle or else Naru was going to wake up and sock him one. He kept his eyes averted from Naru's chest, but that wasn't easy. In all her thrashing she had let her housecoat get loose and it was revealing a good portion of her chest. Keitaro managed to get the blanket untangled when naru thrashed again.
"Keitaro!" she muttered before her arm went up and wrapped around his neck.
The boy in questin thought his heart stopped. Even in her sleep Naru had an iron grip. Too bad she was pulling him down slightly. Now he was getting a real good view of her chest.
'Oh shit!' Keitaro thought darkly to himself. 'Now I'm really going to get it!'
Keitaro qickly slipped himself out of her grip and placed the blanket back over her. His heart was going about a mile a minute and he was pretty sure that his nose was going to explode after what he was just subjected to.
"Keitaro," Naru mumbled in her sleep again. "You're so warm. Mmmmmm,"
Keitaro looked at her with an awkward glance. Of all the things he was expecting her to say, that was not it.
'Does she actually like me that way?' he asked himself. 'Why is she even dreaming about me anyway?'
Deciding to classify this as one of the many mysteries that surrounded the female mind, Keitaro went back to his own futon. He just wanted a good nights sleep.
'I think I lost five years off my life tonight,' he thought absently to himself.
When he finally relaxed into his futon, he felt a warm object press agaisnt him and grip his right arm. He looked and saw a smiling Kitsune with her eyes cracked open slightly.
"I saw that stud," she whispered with a smile.
'Oh shit,' Keitaro thought to himself in despair.
"That was really nice of you," she smiled. "Although I bet you enjoyed the free show."
"Don't remind me," Keitaro whispered wiht a glare. "And please don't tell Naru."
Kitsune gave a genuine smile as she cuddled closer to him, "My lips are sealed stud."
'I'm sensing a catch coming,' Keitaro thought to himself.
"You just have to cuddle with me," she continued.
'There it is," Keitaro thought with a smile. "I'm not stopping you. Knock yourself out."
Kitsune smiled with her cheeks growing rosy in the darkness as she let her head rest on his shoulder. She hadn't really been this far with a guy before. Hell, she was still a virgin despite all her talk. She was just knowledgable on the subject. What she did know right now was that she was at her most comfortable right now. Getting warmth from a guy she really had feelings for and hoped would soon develop feelings for her.
Keitaro, on the other hand, was focousing on making sure he could fall asleep without getting stiff. He could feel Kitsune's breasts against his arm. That alone made him feel a little nervous. His nervousness only increased when his left side began to get warmer. He dared to take a look and saw that motoko had rolled onto her side and grasped his arm like a securty blanket.
"Oneesan...don't go," she mumbled sadly.
Keitaro figured that she had her own family troubles to deal with. He was now officially pinned to the floor by two of the woman in his life. Again, he was feeling slightly nervous about his positon and again he tried not to think about it. He just wanted to get some sleep and maybe figure out what they were going to do next.
It was going to be a long night.

Naru sat up with a yawn as she woke up. The sun was streaming in through the window and it was proving to be a beautiful day.
"Gosh I was restless last night," she mumbled to herself as she readjusted her robe. "I'm surprised my covers were still on."
She looked over to her friends and almost let out a giggle. Kitsune was cuddled up to Keitaro's right, sleeping soundly, while Motoko had a hold on his and looked rather peacful herself.
'I knew Kitsune was into him,' she thought with a smile. 'I wasn't expecting Motoko though.'
With that, Naru went with her bag to get changed. She wa shappy for her best friend. Kitsune needed someone special in her life. Naru just hoped she could beat Motoko.
As Naru went through the door and shut it, Kitsune finally stirred from her slumber. She blinked slightly and she smiled when she felt who she was cuddled against. She let out a small giggle of her own before leaning to Keitaro's sleeping face and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Thanks Keitaro," she smiled. "We have to do this again sometime."
She stood up and ran her hand through her hair. It wasn't often that she woke up without a hangover some weeks. When she did, she felt refreshed. Today though, waking up with someone she cared about made it even better.
"I feel pretty good," she smiled. "Can't wait for breakfast,"
She looked to see Motoko's position and she broke out into a wider smile. Motoko did like the guy too. About time she made a move or else she would have felt a little bad about trying to get him and not letting Motoko have a chance.
Motoko began to stirr and Kitsune decided to let the two have some privacy. She wanted to hear how badly Motoko was going to freak out about her position. She wanted to see as well, but no one could have everything in life. She just stepped out of the room and held her ear up against the wall.
Motoko blinked the sleep out of her eyes as she woke up. She had been dreaming about her days while her sister still was yet to be married. She was actually dreaming about the day she left. It had broken the girl's heart. For some reason though, it was like a dream rather than the usual nightmares which left her feeling a little drained. She was feeling rather comfortable with the warm object in her hands.
'What is it I am holding?' she asked herself as she looked up.
Her eyes widened when she saw Keitaro's sleeping form and his arm in her grasp. She felt her face redden as she quickly sat up and shuffled away from the sleeping boy. She quickly looked around the room to see if there were any witnesses. She felt a tiny bit of relief when she found that there were none.
'What was I doing!' she mentally raged to herself. 'What is wrong with me?'
If she didn't know that Keitaro wasn't a pervert then she would have pounded him into the next life, accusing him of attempting to take advantage of her. Luckily, she did know that Keitaro was a decent man so his life was spared. Motoko's blush didn't reced as she kneeled next to Keitaro with a curious look in her eyes.
'He is rather cute,' she thought to himself. 'He is very warm as well. It was rather nice to wake up next to him.'
She reached out and lay her hand on his cheek. A small smile graced her lips as she felt his warmth.
"Good morning Keitaro," she smield as she stood up and headed of the door.
As she left, Keitaro turned in his sleep and let out a brief sigh.
"Watch out Indy," he sighed in his sleep. "It's the lost ark"
