The Forbidden Love of Yukari Yakumo
Chapter 3: Perennial Doubt that Regrows...
Mayohiga, Yukari's House, the next morning
Ran Yakumo had slept in Yukari's bed, tasting the joy of being the head of the house for the first time after brutally attacking the fragile rose. Sleeping until ten in the morning, the Kitsune didn't seem to be remorseful or feeling guilty of what she had done.
Walking out into the street of Mayohiga, where she had thrown the unconscious body of the Border Youkai, she stepped back in shock after noticing that it was gone. Next to the spot where it was was a thick, strong, and distinctive blade of black head-grass upon the floor. Picking it up and smelling it, Ran's face flushed with jealousy as she identified who it was that had passed here. She knew that he must have picked Yukari up, which means that Yukari, of all people, was spending intimate time with the blue-cloaked specimen of perfection.
Running towards the hunk's house, Ran barely noticed the far shorter, black-clothed young magician in front of her as she ran into her. Without thinking, she shouted, "Watch where you're going!"
The magician's hair seemed to flare up like magnesium, and she brushed off her lacy black fishnets covering her arms before picking herself up off the floor, and asked, "Where are you going to in such a hurry?"
Ran gave the woman a look over, and realised it was none other than the official lover of Dawitsu herself, Yutaka Hadekawa. Her eyes pierced Ran's, and seemed to make her resolve crumble like a sunflower in the desert sun, "I... I was... I was trying to find my mistress. You wouldn't have happened to have seen her anywhere, would have you?"
"I've been out all night, and I can't say I've seen her." Yutaka answered, and began to walk away, swaying her hips slightly has she walked, like a swaggering snake.
Ran began to panic as she was walking in the exact same direction as she needed to go... towards her object of lust's house, and now needed a method to get to the house without seeming like she was following the fire-haired Gothic Lolita.
Yutaka continued to swagger, and Ran placed her hands in her pockets, the stretching of the clothes emphasising her perfect, slander figure. [Typist's Note: This may or may not be 'slender'. I don't know, she might have been attempting wordplay to make Ran seem evil or something... ]
Walking quickly, so as to catch up to Yutaka, she cunningly devised a fabrication as to why she was stalking her prey like a cheetah hunting an equally dangerous python, "...I may as well try to find her with you, right? Two heads are better than one, aren't they?"
Yutaka's sharp red eyes stared at Ran's, and she swiftly noticed the false tone of Ran's sentence, "It wouldn't help you. All I'm doing is going home."
The Dawitsu Mansion, during these events
After a third romantic escapade with bandages of love that tied the two lovers together like the mystical threads of fate, Yukari and Dawitsu finally decided to get out of bed, and put on their best clothes. Yukari wore a small, purple mini-skirt, trimmed with eye-shaped ornaments and frilled at the bottom, accentuating her curvaceous, buxom figure perfectly. Dawitsu wore skin-tight leather pants, and a ripped shirt the same colour as his night-black hair, and once the two were finished with their preparations, Yukari opened a gap.
"So, where shall we get married?" Yukari asked.
"I know exactly where we shall get married... at the Moriya Shrine. I'm good friends with the Shrine Maiden there..." the black-haired beauty said, his leather pants showing off his perfectly thin waist and his thick, muscular legs.
Yukari, although noticing this important factor, also noticed that he was good friends with the Shrine Maiden there, and a small, red flower of jealousy bloomed within her heart. Her voice shaking like a small red autumnal leaf in the breeze, she asked, "She's... not anyone special, is she?"
"No, I just let her borrow my Animé comics..." Dawitsu explained, his expression as honest as an Oni's.
Yukari sighed with relief, and changed the gap's destination, walking into it. Dawitsu walked in also, and the two appeared at the gates to the Moriya Shrine. Knocking on the door with his firm, muscular, manly hands, Dawitsu waited for the door to open. Once it did, a moderately tall, young-looking human shrine maiden with flowing green hair appeared, her gaze towards Dawitsu's crotch.
Tapping the shrine maiden on the shoulder, Dawitsu said, "Sanae, my face is here. I'm here to get married..."
Sanae looked past Dawitsu, to see the ethereal, pale face of Yukari Yakumo, who was trying her best not to make eye contact. Smiling as if she wasn't bothered about the potential loss of the greatest man alive as a crush, she nodded her head, and said, "To Yukari Yakumo? She's a little out of your league, isn't she?"
"Love has no leagues." Dawitsu philosophically said, his hair billowing in the wind.
Sanae nodded, and agreed to do the wedding. She proceeded to go inside her shrine, and bring out two small dishes of sake. Putting them down on the step, and began to recite the traditional wedding vows:
To Dawitsu, she said, "Yukari Yakumo, I shall marry, no matter how ill or healthy she is, I shall love this person, respect this person, console this person, help this person, until death, protecting fidelity. Do you swear to this?"
"I swear to this." Dawitsu said, looking to Yukari with a chiselled smile hand-carved by Venus herself.
To Yukari, she said, "Mateyuu Dawitsu, I shall marry this man, and become his partner, and will do so in peaceful times, during sickness, this person love, this person respect, this person console, this person help, until death. Do you swear to this?"
Tears filling up in Yukari's eyes, the Border Youkai stuttered, "Y-yes..."
"Then, I do pronounce you man and wife! Mazel tov!" Sanae called, and put a glass bottle on the floor.
Crushing it, Dawitsu grabbed Yukari by the waist, and kissed her as passionately as the dew kisses the rose petals late at night, filling their delicate inner layers with clear, pure water.
Sanae cheered, and then offered them each a dish of sake. Dawitsu and Yukari drank the liquid infused with the essence of happiness, and they then walked together to the Forest of Magic, and decided to consummate their marriage underneath the mid-day sun.
[Typist's Note: Okay, this one may be legible, but do you seriously expect me to type this... I mean, good GODS! I'm actually considering asking Nitori if she can perform a lobotomy on me, apparently all you need is a drill put in the head and you suddenly forget your problems...]
The Dawitsu Mansion, as Yutaka reached the house
Still following the irritated Gothic Lolita, Ran floated into the house as she did, trying to keep up the false impression that she was searching for Yukari. However, a small hint of scent fortunately gave her the factual evidence to back her claim, and she smiled a smile indicative of twisted victory, like a tree that bears rotten fruits.
"Hmm. I smell Yukari's scent... upstairs. May I check there?" Ran asked.
Yutaka's hair seemed to burn more violently, "...upstairs? Hold on, I need to check this, too..."
Entering the strange cube of transport of which led to the bedrooms, Ran followed her scent until they found the room they were looking for... the bed was unmade from the pure antics of true love and several clothes were lying on the floor, including a large, round-cupped purple brazier. Picking it up, Ran smirked, and turned to Yutaka, "This is Mistress Yukari's... I wonder what it's doing here?"
Yutaka looked around, and noticed the partly-unravelled bandage of true love lying on the bed, and began to cry, and screamed in her loudest, most heartbroken voice, "I THOUGHT THAT WAS OUR SPECIAL THING!"
Ran smiled as darkly as her heart, and said, "Ah, it seems that both of us have been betrayed... for I had made my Mistress promise not to fall in love with anyone, and your lover has betrayed you also... join me, Yutaka, and together, we can have our revenge!"
The short, flat-chested Lolita took the bra off of the Shikigami, feeling the comparative ampleness compared to her own, and nodded her head, "Yes, we shall get revenge... in the night, when they least expect it..."
Author's Notes: I'm so smart! I'm so cool! I just made a suspenseful ending to the chapter! You can't put the book down, can you? You just want to read the next chapter, don't you? Read, read, read, that's all you do, now that I've hypnotised you with my brilliant technique! You can buy photographs of my beautiful face for thirty thousand yen at my house, now labelled 'Tokage-mart!'. You can find all sorts of souvenirs here for the series, including Dawitsu, Yukari, and Yutaka figurines, as well as various real-life souvenirs from Dawitsu, including his hair, his nails, and his skin! There'll be an auction once enough people come along, and I just want to remind everyone to stay civil. I mean, I know he's like, the hottest guy in the world, but you gotta say calm if you wanna get the merch, right? Save your passion for once you get home and you're all alone with his skin...
Typist's Notes: OLSFIOGSHFISFVLIIHHDSKJNS I'm sorry... I still... need to do... the reviews... please kill me... I don't care if someone else gets the money... well, actually I do... but if someone can kill me, that would be far better. Come on, surely someone has Youkai Extermination powers and will actually use them... oh, right, the Human Villagers, of course! They're nowhere near as tolerant as that Hakurei Miko! Goodbye, cruel world!
Um... I'm back. They didn't want to kill me. Apparently stealing all their sake isn't offensive enough to warrant extermination...
Reviews for Chapter Three:
Mateyuu Dawitsu: Okay... I'm... okay now. Um... firstly, WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH YOU AND THE BANDAGE THING? I mean, sure, me and Sakuya... um... uh, just forget I... YOU TYPED THAT UP? Oh God... uh... well... actually, it was more Sakuya's thing, I just sorta went along with it, was a gentleman, let her have her way... uh... you know...
Sakuya Izayoi: Dawitsu, you dirty liar! You were the one who liked that kind of stuff, there's no way in hell I would like... slow... sensual... fabric-like... contact... ohhhhh... HEY! How many 'aitches' did you just put in that 'oh'? You're not trying to imply I... hold on, I'm gonna kill Dawitsu when I catch him...
Yukari Yakumo: Oh, a skimpy purple wedding dress with frills. Totally my taste. Just in case your tiny author mind is incapable of comprehending sarcasm, that was sarcasm. Why on earth would I marry someone when, according to this trash, I'm too insecure and doubtful to even trust him with a female friend?
Sanae Kochiya: I'm pretty sure 'Mazel Tov' is a Jewish wedding custom. I've never used it in a Shinto wedding ceremony. I have married people before though, because for some reason my shrine doesn't have a male priest... I wonder why? Maybe Suwako doesn't like men. Oh, and also, it's MANGA, not ANIMÉ COMICS! Um... but... uh... about Dawitsu in leather pants... it's not that I would want him to wear them, but he is cute, and all... I actually do borrow some Manga from him, he's a nice guy. What sick person gave her the idea to write this?
Yutaka Hadekawa: I don't have red eyes! And stop comparing my hair to chemical flames you have no knowledge of! Magnesium burns with a white flame, just like Phosphorous, you're not getting any smarter. Wait, what? Why don't I open my eyes? Um... I'm not really sure, but the Boss never seems to mention it...
Ran Yakumo: I would NEVER use my superior scent to find... Miss Yukari's underwear. That's... just... wrong. In fact, that's all this story is. Wrong, wrong, wrong...
Marisa Kirisame: Hey, Tokage, this is an awesome chapter, keep it up! I especially liked the bit where they did Mazel Tov and drank sake!
