Chapter 5: My Perverted Cousin
Ikaros was watching over her master's sleeping form as he lay comfortably in his hospital bed. The watermelon he had gotten for her was still cradled in her arms protectively. 'What can I do for Master to make him happy? He went out of his way to get me this, and I haven't done anything for him...' Her thought turned depressing as she racked her brain for a solution.
"Come on, please? It would make me really happy!"
The sudden voice startled Ikaros out of her thoughts. She turned her head to see the television in her master's room was on and she hadn't noticed. On the screen a man was laying in a bed similar to Master's, and a rather busty woman was sitting next to him like she was.
"Are you sure this would make you happy? It seems like you're just being a pervert..." the woman on the screen said with her arms crossed under her chest.
The man shook his head furiously at her. "No, no, I swear! This pillow is really uncomfortable and resting my head on your chest would make it way better and make me really happy!" the man said, looking like he was about to beg the busty woman.
The woman sighed and lay herself next to the man. Bringing her hands out, she lifted his head and placed it in between her breasts. The man seemed to snuggle into the woman as she lightly petted his hair. "Do all men like this as much as you do?" the woman said in a joking voice.
"Yup! Any man would be happy to get this kind of treatment!"
'Would that make Master happy?' Ikaros thought. 'That man said that all men like it, and Master is male, so he will like it.' She solidified her thoughts and stood up. Placing the watermelon back onto the chair she was just sitting on, she removed her jacket and lay herself next to Chaney. She mimicked the woman's motions and lifted Chaney's head, placing it in between her own large breasts. When Chaney snuggled into the new source of heat, Ikaros let out a relieved breath she didn't know she was holding. 'Master is happy...'
-O-O-O-O-O-
Chaney slowly opened his eyes to the sounds of birds chirping and sunlight hitting his sleepy face. He groaned lightly and wrapped his arms around the long warm pillow he was currently snuggling with. He closed his eyes and let out a content sigh as his face landed back in between two more softer pillows that were resting on top of the long one. Wait... three pillows? Didn't the hospital only provide one?
Chaney opened his eyes again and blinked in confusion at one of the pillows he was resting on. One of his hands unwrapped itself from the long pillow and fell on top of the soft mound, squeezing lightly. What he didn't expect was the voice that said, "Good morning Master, did you sleep well?" He looked up towards the voice to see Ikaros' blank face staring back down at him. His gaze went back to the mounds he was resting on... only to find he was groping Ikaros' large chest.
Chaney's eyebrow twitched involuntarily as he calmly took his hand off of Ikaros' large mounds of flesh. "Ikaros... what the hell are you doing?" he asked from his position in between her chest. He would've freaked out and probably flown off the bed, if not for the fact it would open up his still bandaged wounds.
"Ano, the man on the TV said all men like this. And Master is a man." Ikaros said with slight worry in her voice that she did something wrong. All she wanted was to make him happy, but did she somehow displease her master with her actions?
Chaney could hear the worry in her voice and let out a long sigh. His warm breath hitting the uncovered part of Ikaros' chest made her instinctively shiver from the intimate action. "You shouldn't listen to everything you hear on TV Ikaros. You might end up doing something you regret from the information you get." Chaney's words caused Ikaros to stiffen slightly. She knew it. She had made a mistake, and now she was bound to get punishment. Right? "But... in this case the TV was totally right!" She looked down at Chaney with a bit of confusion as he snuggled into her body and wrapped his arms around her waist. A light blush formed on her cheeks from the close contact. So she hadn't done something wrong? Thank goodness...
-O-O-O-O-O-
Sohara walked in through the glass doors of the unusually busy hospital with a bouquet of bright red roses in her hands. She stood in line at the receptionist's desk, looking around at all the people present. 'Wow, that terrorist attack sure did a number on everyone. I hope Chaney is okay..' she though in slight worry. From what she heard, Chaney had taken a slab of concrete directly to the left side of his face. Her hand clenched the flowers a bit tighter at what may have happened to her childhood friend.
"Next!"
A voice snapped Sohara out of her thoughts as she saw she was holding up the line with no one in front of her. "Ah! Sorry, I was just thinking about my friend that's staying here." she said while walking up to the desk to check in.
"It's no problem." the woman behind the counter said with a kind smile. "So who is it that you're here to see today?"
"Kurayami Chaney, please."
"Oh my, he sure is popular with the pretty ladies today, isn't he?" the woman giggled while typing something into her computer.
Sohara tilted her head to the side in confusion. Ladies? Chaney never showed any interest in anyone as far as she knew, so who was this woman talking about? "Ano, who else came to see Chaney today?" she asked with her head still tilted off to the side.
The woman stopped her typing to look up at Sohara. "That pink haired girl hasn't left his side for anything. Even when we tried to get her to leave, she just kept sitting like we weren't even there."
Sohara let out a short sigh. So Ikaros hasn't left him since the incident happened? That might make giving him the letter she found in his mailbox a bit less complicated. Hopefully he wouldn't freak out too bad.
"And I'm done. Here you are miss. Make sure to keep this on at all times while in the hospital." The receptionist handed Sohara a badge that said 'Visitor' on it and motioned for the next person in line to come to the front.
-O-O-O-O-O-
Chaney sat upright on his hospital bed with a remote in his hands, flipping through the channels with a bored expression on his face. "Dammit!" he yelled, startling Ikaros slightly and causing her to look directly at him. "I'm so bored!" he yelled again, throwing the remote out the window. He blinked a couple times at what he just did. A blank expression came onto his face and anime tears started flowing out of his eyes. Well.. there goes his only form of entertainment.
A knock from the other side of the room's door caused Chaney to snap his head towards it with a hopeful look on his face. "Come in, and please tell me you're here to bail me out of here!" The door opened and in walked Sohara with a sweatdrop already on the back of her head. Anime tears started flowing out of Chaney's eyes once again. So much for getting out.
Sohara let out a sigh and walked over to Chaney's bed, grabbing a chair she sat on the opposite side of him as Ikaros. "Calm down Cha-chan. You've only been here for a few days." She said while placing the flowers into a vase on the nightstand by the bed.
"That's a few days of watching bad reruns on TV and no exercise. I think I'm getting soft..." Chaney said. To emphasize his point he brought up his arm and poked it a few times, even though his finger didn't sink in at all.
"You aren't going soft, baka. It takes at least two weeks for you to start losing your strength."
"Well if you say so. By the way..." Chaney looked down at Sohara's hands that still held the letter she picked up from his house. "what's with the letter? Is it for me?"
Sohara nodded and handed him the letter. When he saw who it was from, his eyes widened a little bit and he opened it swiftly. Inside was a single piece of paper and it read:
Dear Chaney-chan,
how have you been!? Sorry we haven't been able to visit, but me and your uncle have been busy traveling and other stuff. We are currently in Brazil in America and I have to say, THERE ARE SO MANY BABES HERE! Seriously! Every beach we go to has so many tanned beauties I don't ever wanna leave! Too bad the rules here are more strict on groping though...
Oh well! That's not why I'm sending you this. I'm sending you this because I want to ask you a favor. Could Tomoki stay with you for a year or two? Or three? With us moving around so much, he never gets to make very many friends and always has to leave them behind. I was thinking it would be a good idea for him to stay with his cousin (you) and go to school there! Great! I knew you'd love the idea too!
Chaney palmed his face when he read that last part. 'Seriously oba-chan? Not even give me a choice?' he though as he sighed and went back to reading.
Tomoki should be flying in tomorrow if you get this letter on October 8th, which I have no doubt you will. Be careful and try not to shoot him he's down there!
Love, Aunty Tomoyo
P.S: I think he has a crush on that Sohara girl, so do your oba-chan a favor and put in a good word, ne?
At the end of the letter there was a picture of his aunt Tomoyo and uncle Tsutsumi on the beach, the latter with his hand raised in a karate chop motion with the former drooling over some busty girls in bikinis. He smiled fondly at the picture for a minute before putting it away back into the envelope.
Chaney would be lying if he said he wasn't happy to see his cousin again. Tomoki was a nice guy. Fun to be around, almost never a dull moment, and a great source of entertainment. Especially when he get the crap kicked out of him by the girls he spies on. Oh yeah, Tomoki was a complete and utter pervert. The term 'Super Pervert' would probably fit him best.
-O-O-O-O-O-
In an alternate universe, a tall white haired man in his fifties sneezed loudly, startling the toad he was sitting on into hopping and sending him into the woman's section of a nearby bath house.
-O-O-O-O-O-
Sighing, Chaney put the letter on the nightstand and looked over at Ikaros. "Hey Ikaros, can you do me a favor?"
"Anything Master." Ikaros replied immediately and with no hesitation in her voice. Chaney didn't ask her to do much, just some small chores around the house. But even then he always helped her with them, even the cooking. So now whenever he asks her to do something other than the normal activities, she almost literally jumps at the chance to please him.
"Since I'm not going to be there to pick Tomoki up from the airport, do you think you can do it for me? I should be out by tomorrow, but his plane is gonna get here before then." Chaney asked with a large smile on his face. He couldn't wait for tomorrow, he was finally getting out of the hell that they called a hospital. "Oh, and Sohara, you go with her. I don't trust Tomoki to be left alone with a girl. Much less Ikaros."
Ikaros nodded with the same blank expression on her face, although you could tell she was happy if you knew her well enough. Sohara sighed but nodded as well.
"Good. Now, if you ladies don't mind..." Chaney started to say something but didn't finish as his head slumped forward. Ikaros and Sohara were alarmed at first, but the light snoring coming from the boy put their worries to rest. Along with with making Sohara's palm connect with her face.
-O-O-O-O-O-
Ikaros and Sohara stood in the surprisingly busy airport, each holding a sign that read "TOMOKI" in Katakana. Ikaros stood there with the same impassive look on her face, but with some amount of curiosity in her eyes as well. She had never seen anything quite like the happenings in front of her. People walking around and talking amongst themselves, talking into little devices , or just not talking at all. She looked to her left and saw a woman run into a mans arms with a large smile on her face saying, "I missed you!".
Ikaros turned to Sohara and gently tugged on her sleeve to get her attention. "Hm? What is it Ikaros?" Sohara said, still holding up the sign but also paying attention to the angeloid.
Ikaros pointed at the hugging couple and said, "Is that what a woman does when she misses a man? Hugs them?"
Sohara smiled warmly at the scene before turning back to holding up the sign. "Mhm, it sure is. When someone cares about a person, they usually want to show it somehow. Especially if they were separated for some reason. Hugging is just one way."
Ikaros gave a gentle nod and returned to holding up her sign. "I am a woman, and Master is a man. I miss Master, and I care about Master, so maybe Master would like it if I-" Ikaros' thoughts were cut short by a scream that came from her right. Looking over, she saw a short boy, roughly 5'3", groping Sohara's breasts as if appraising them.
The boy nodded to himself, seemingly content, before turning to Ikaros with a perverted smile on his face. He reached out and grabbed Ikaros' own large chest before doing the same appraising he did with Sohara. Ikaros just stood there impassively throughout the whole thing, her head tilted to the side in confusion.
The boy then stepped back from a confused Ikaros and a madly blushing Sohara. "So did Chaney send you guys to pick me up or something? I'm Tomoki, by the way." the now identified Tomoki said with a small wave and a short bow.
Sohara just gaped at the boy in front of her. This was Tomoki? This was Chaney's cousin? But they were so different! There's no way they could be related! Right?
"Man, I owe my cousin big time. Sending two complete babes to pick me up from the airport! What great family!" Tomoki said with stars in his eyes and drool dripping out of the corners of his mouth.
Sohara just sighed. "This is gonna be a long walk back..."
-O-O-O-O-O-
Chaney currently found himself in a rather... odd.. situation. Sure, nothing ever seemed to be "normal" around him, but this was pushing it a little. He just got out of the hospital, cleared to leave on crutches with the restriction of not being able to walk without them. That wasn't the strange part though. The strange part was the little girl with long blonde hair in a nun outfit and collar that kept following him everywhere he went. He tried to out run her, but being on crutches didn't really help him there. He tried going into a public bathroom for half an hour, but when he came out, she was still standing there.
"Why do I always attract the crazies?" Chaney thought to himself with a twitching eyebrow. He sighed, deciding he needed a break. He walked up to a nearby bench and sat down, placing his crutches right next to him.
The little girl jumped up onto the bench and sat down next to him, swinging her legs and humming an unknown tune to herself. She seemed content with just sitting there next to Chaney.
"Hey, little girl, why are you following me everywhere?" Chaney asked, finally deciding to break the silence.
The girl looked up at Chaney with a smile on her face. "Well Mister, I wanted to ask you a question, but you looked mad about something so I didn't wanna upset you."
Chaney blinked in relative surprise at the girls answer, not expecting such good manners from someone so young. "Uh, yeah, go ahead. Ask away." he said.
"Do you know what love is?"
