Y/N: My, there sure are a number of outsiders entering my domain of late. Hello, from the Yukari of the present. The author has started another co-op story between herself and Crazy Scion, this time. It will, unlike that other one with... Begi, be on Crazy Scion's page. However, unlike with Begi's one, I doubt it'll become a "canon" part of my domain~

Early night, Mountain-top Shrine, Mima's PoV:

Brr... After that bath, I feel so very cold... Even my breasts agree! Cold, cold, cooold!

I let out a sneeze, which was far from un-noticed by Rumia. "Uuugh..." I sniffled a bit, sucking a hanging strand of snot back into my skull.

However, while I stood there shivering, Rumia had a ...great idea. I jumped at the sudden heat pressing against my back. I looked behind me, and found exactly who I had expected to see; Rumia's skin was oddly sticky against mine, and ohh so warm. What, had she not been affected by the icy water? Just what sort of tough stuff are youkai made of...?

While I was busy with my internal complaints at the weakness of my own body, Rumia had begun to look ever so distorted, as though she were melting.

Which was because she technically was melting. Her hardened outer layer was softening, so as to bring out her sticky insides.

While thinking, I tried to bring my hand to my chin, and found resistance. I looked back, to see Rumia's skin seemingly stuck to my own, as if fusing to it like.

"What the hell? !" Needless to say, I was quite startled by the experience. To me, it looked like I was pulling her skin away from her body like mochi from... well, meat. Oddly black meat...

Below the skin I had pulled away from my movement was black muscles, which had that same odd sheen as her missing kimono.

"Relax, relax~" I felt my arm being pulled back by the... skin contracting, and tugging at me. This would be a disturbing, perhaps scarring memory, I just knew it.

I felt the whole of the now goopy skin begin to tug at me, wherever it touched me at, as though I were sinking.

Hey, wait. Sinking?

I looked back yet again, and found Rumia to now look distorted as can be, and my body sinking into hers. It was an odd sensation, as though a boot was being sucked into mud. And I was the boot.

And Rumia, obviously, was the mud.

Even if her lips didn't move, I heard her say, "Shh, shh. It's okay~ I'm just going to warm you up a bit, dry you off, and get a little bit of a snack, too~" ...Why did the word snack sound so... non-threatening? Did I really trust her, a flesh eating youkai, enough to just... lay back and let her do as she pleases?

At that thought, my cheeks flushed a bit, and my heart began to race slightly. Just... accepting it, huh?

I relaxed in her odd, gooey embrace, which was... tingly, for lack. "I-if you say so..." I was ready for just about anything, by way of accepting whatever fate she may have in store for me, if she meant snack in a... painful way. "...Wait, why are you... melting...?" It was a valid question, really.

I heard the strangest of liquidy laughter eminate from her, while her body shook a fair bit. Atleast, I figured it to be laughter. By this point, she was a human-shaped blob of black goo. However, it wasn't long before she lost even that, and was but a glob of black jelly with most of my body inside of her. This tingle was an odd sensation, but easy enough to grow used to.

"I'm not melting, I'm just returning to my natural shape! You just have yet to see it, so it probably looks a bit odd to you, that's all!" I couldn't help but imagine her grinning while saying that, as she probably would, had she a mouth to grin with.

The warm goo that was now covering most of my body warmed me up so very well, even if it the warm, tingly, constant pressure against my three most obvious of erogenous zones was putting me on edge a tad, to say the least. The stench of meat that clung to her was probably giving me a bit of a perfume, too.

With another giggle, Rumia added, "Though, if I really wished to, I could make you melt right now - in both meanings of the word. I'm quite acidic, you see, and can twist about in just about any way, in any place~ For example," Why does that give me chills, the way she said that? "I can do this!" Had she a mouth, or a face for that matter, she'd be giving me a seductive little smirk, because I felt like my entire body was being gently massage, licked, and kissed, all at once. I had less than a second to enjoy this slimey heaven before she was yet again interrupted.

"Ayaya~ What a sight!" In the blink of an eye, the crow-girl from before was but a metre away from us.

"...Aya...?" I spoke in a daze, as that split second full body massage/lick/kiss had relaxed me to a degree I doubt I'd ever felt before. It was maddening to have that sudden heavenly massage end just as suddenly, but the effect of said massage had left me rather... apathetic toward anything that would perhapse annoy me.

"Aww, way to spoil my fun... I just about had her, too! Just another minute of that, and she'd want nothing more than for me to-" Rumia's complaint was cut off, when the fast-talking crow began to speak.

"While that'd make a fascinating scoop, I'm here on business." She cleared her throat, and wiped the goofy grin off her face. "You two are suddenly invited to the Tengu Village on the summit of the mountain. Very sudden party going on. I only heard about it an hour ago. Rather annoying, really." After a bit of rambling, we drowned out the noisy crow, who was just about cawing for no apparent reason after that point.

"When?" The blob that was Rumia was curious.

"Didn't I just say it's going on now? I think I said it was going on now! Did I say it was going on now...?" She seemed out of it, and once more began to ramble. What could cause her to be so... hyper?

I took a deep breath to steady my heart-rate, breathing, and mind. They were all a bit chaotic, in part thanks to the rambling crow, and in part thanks to the jelly that was keeping me quite toasty. When I finally opened my mouth to ask a question of my own, Rumia asked it for me.

"And... are we fine with our usual clothes?" I let my mouth close, and sighed in annoyance at not being allowed to voice the question.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes! You're fine as is - well, not literally as is, as one of you is naked, but those clothes are fine! Just do be sure to put them on!" Aya took a breath, and began to speak anew. "Ohh, and before I forget, here are you invitations!" In a fraction of a fraction of a second, a pair of envelopes were deposited atop my folded outfit. There was only one outfit to be found, so Aya left them both there - not that she didn't look. She checked the whole shrine, and even looked inside of that cold, wooden box that stunk of human flesh. All in that fraction of a fraction of a second. Once more beginning her one-sided conversation, she said, " Well, I must take my leave! Places to be. People to see. Tenma to get drunk. Oni to try and out-drink against my better judgment. You know, party stuff! Bye~!" And with that, she was gone.

In her wake, she had kicked up a rather large cloud of dust, which would have hit me in the face, had I not quickly been shielded by Sunshine. And now my entire body was inside of her, head and all. An odd sensation, to say the least. I held didn't particularly want to see what a lung-full of Rumia would do, so I held my breath for the short time I had to. Thankfully, the dust settled quickly, allowing my head to be exposed once again.

It looks like we have a party to go to. One that seems like it'll be full of nothing but youkai.

...That makes me wonder just how common it is for them to eat people, as I'd rather not get eaten if I can help it.

...Maybe I should bring my knife, just in case.

No point in training with the thing if I never have it handy, and die because of that.
