A/N: And now, as I'm in the mood, let us see what happens when you sleep with a blob of darkness! On with the show!
Early morning, Rundown old shrine:
I had fallen asleep, off and on, only to be woken back up by nibbling. Why did I have to have the fantastic Idea of inviting a man-eating Youkai to share my bed...? Also, why was she only nibbling my breasts! ...Well, actually, that does make sense, as her face is burried in the things...
I couldn't help but sigh, annoyed by the sharp teeth pressing against my soft flesh. My rather tough kimono probably all that was keeping them from puncturing my skin...
"Hey human." Ehh? Had I woken her up?
"Yeah?" Might as well see what it is she wants.
"Why arn't you afraid of me...?" ...That's a rather odd question...
"Well, I figure that I can't particularly stop you if you did try to eat me, so why fear that? If it happens, it happens." It was the truth. Why fear death when you know it is next to guarenteed?
"...Is that so? Well, why are you being so nice? I've even been pressing my teeth against you this whole time, and you've yet to show anything but kindness towards me! You could have tried to escape, or simply gently remove me, but no... you bear the discomfort..." Wait, she knew she was nibbling me this whole time? Has she yet to fall asleep? ...Wait, 'pressing'? That wasn't even nibbling? ! Just how sharp are those things...?
"Show kindness to those who show it. You were kind enough to give up a meal so that I may live, and as such, I'm in you debt. ...More than I can ever repay, honestly, as you spared my life. Also, why do you eat people...?" I felt her shake lightly with silent laughter.
"You sure are a strange human... Most would tell me it's bad to eat humans, or try to get me to change my 'evil' ways... You, on the other hand, simply ask why..." I guess I always have been a bit strange, due to an inquisitive nature. At times to a fault.
"Well, it's a Youkai's job to attack humans, isn't it?" My question elicited a snort from the tiny Youkai.
"You know, if you say such things, I just might attack you!" While the words seemed threatening, her tone was rather joking. What an odd sense of humor...
"Ohh no, whatever shall I do..." The monotone of my voice made the Youkai giggle.
"I like you, I think I'll keep you!" Keep?
"Keep?" I echoed my thoughts aloud, utterly baffled as to what she had meant by that.
"Yeah! You seem like you would make a great pet!" ...Well, isn't that interesting...
"...Well, if you say so..." I wasn't sure what to make of her statement, honestly.
"I'll be sure to give you lots of love, so you'll be pleanty happy for the rest of your life!" ...How ominous sounding...
"A pet is a big responsability, you know! You have to feed them, give them fresh water, and shower them with love!" I did my best to make a pet sound like a bad idea in a half joking manner. While I wasn't sure what it would entail, it couldn't be a pleasant thing to be the pet of a Youkai, right?
"I'd just have to adjust your diet, so food would be easier to come by, that's all! Water's easy, and love..." I heard her giggle. "...I can be quite loveing!" ...I didn't like the way allot of that sounded.
"...adjust how?" I really hope it's now how I think it is...
"Well, human is easiest to come by, sooo..." She didn't have to finish that statement, she knew I got the gist of it.
"...There's no way I'm going to eat people!" I felt the girl once more shake with laughter.
"Is that so~? Though, It's still good to try new things! How do you know that you won't like it?" Was she seriously using such a simple argument, in such a serious matter...? Even if it was probably a joke, it was in poor taste...
"I have no way to know, and I hope to never find out." I had to do my best to resist this curiousity towards the forbidden she had given me. No good would come from trying such a thing! Damn my inquisitive nature!
"Is that so~?" I felt her shake with a silent chuckle.
"That is so." Ask a simple question, receive a simple answer.
"Hmph, fine, don't broaden your horizons, be 'normal', like all the other humans. ...Though I guess, that would be impossible for one who befriends Youkai, huh? Being 'normal,' that is." She sure does have a way of makeing one feel guilt over ones words, no matter how right you are.
"Jeez, while I'm not going to try something like that, I am fine with broadening my horizons!" Once more I felt laughter, though this time, I actually heard it, too.
"Ohh really, now? Then how about we..." I felt a small hand caress my rear. "... broaden your horizons right now?" ...She couldn't mean... that, right?
"W-we'll do no such a thing! You're a child!" My face was burning bright red, at the mere offer of such a thing.
"Child...? I'm probably about as old as you, human." Wait, what? She's so small!
"But you feel like a 7 year old..." I tried to be as least offensive as can be with the statement. Wouldn't want to offend one that can eat you.
"Youkai are formed with a young physical age, and grow from there, albeit many times slower than a human. I'm actually around 15 winters old, going on 16!" Wait, shes of a similar age as myself?
"...I would have never taken you for being as old as me, give or take. Infact, winter is next month, so the odds are good that you are almost exactly my age..." The Youkai snuggled against me.
"So, now that age isn't an issue, shall we...?" Gah, she still is going on about that...?
"N-no... I can't! I-I hardly even know you... Besides, we're both girls!" My face was once more burning red. It was hard to form words after hearing such an outrageous thing.
"Ohh, but if we do, we'll know eachother ohh so well! And, as for being girls, I know a few... work arounds for such an issue~!" she had manovered herself by the end so that she was talking directly into my ear, makinging me shiver. Maybe it wouldn't be so ba- N-no, what am I thinking? !
"I c-can't! I've never even done such a thing, a-" Suddenly I felt her tiny fingers tugging at the neck of my kimono.
"You won't be thinking of anything of the sort, should you accept my offer... In fact, after awhile, you will feel too good to think at all~!" Why are her words so... enticing? M-maybe it wouldn't be so ba-
The sound of the door to the small bare room slid open, interupting my thoughts.
"Why arn't you up, Mima... It's getting close to noo- Ehh?" Miko had walked into the room, wondering why I was still asleep at such a late time. Before her, in the now bright room, was a glob of darkness.
"Ehh? ! Noo-, as in Noon? !" I got up in a hurry, careful to make sure the Youkai wasn't stuck between my breasts. As I stepped from the dark, the light of day took its toll on my eyes which were now used to the pitch black of the girls darkness, which I had forgotten about.
"Yeah, but... What's up with that black... thing that you were in...?" Miko looked rather confused about what exactly it was.
"Ahh, that's the Youkai that Yukari spoke of. She seems nice enough, as she has yet to eat me! Ahh, by the way, she eats people, so watch out." My explaination seemed to have unsettled her, as she simply stood there looking back and fourth between myself and the blackness.
After a short while of silence, Miko noticed the darkness begin to rise a small bit, as the Youkai had gotten back up, before approaching. She began to back away from the mass of pitch black that seemed as though it was sucking up any light that touched it. The closer it got to her, the further Miko backed away.
After the darkness had nearly reached me, it simply stopped, but Miko was still backing away. I looked back, wondering why Miko looked so scared. Nothing there but the Youkai's darkness... Odd...
"St-stay back, monster!" Ehh? Was Miko afraid of the Youkai?
"Are you the kind of person I can eat?" Ohh my, maybe she does have reason to fear her... She does eat people, after all.
"N-no! I taste horrible!" Miko seemed quite shaken by the question.
"Is that so~?" The sound of the question, while similar to the one she asked me, was a whole lot more threatening.
"Stay back!" Suddenly I couldn't see, as the Youkai had now stepped closer to Miko.
"N-no, what have you done with Mima, Youkai? !" Ehh? Nothing, I'm just in her darkness...
"I ate her all up~!" Well, that's an obvious lie...
"W-what?" Miko's voice was but a whisper, as though she couldn't believe what she heard.
"She tasted so good, too~!" Don't tell me that Miko actually belived her words... One, I doubt my death would be silent. Two, I just said she had yet to eat me... ...Maybe she took that the wrong way.
"No... No...! No, no, noo..." Well, Miko seems to have broken... Maybe I should speak u-
Suddenly I heard the rush of footsteps towards us, before being punched in the gut. I landed hard on the ground, the wind rushing from my lungs.
"Ohh, nice one~!" Was that all she had to say...? This pain was horrible! I never knew my sister could hit so hard!
"E-ehh? I just hit you with everything I had, and you're fine? !" Wrong target...
"...Yes, I didn't feel that at all!" The Youkai seemed to be fine with simply going with what was assumed.
I heard Miko run off in a hurry, unable to tell her that not only was I fine, but she had hit me.
"...She sure is gullible..." I would have to agree with the Youkai after that little display.
