Small world

Apparently, my question on the message board about a pregnant kansen had caused a real stir among the commanders of various bases, getting lots of them admitting to bedding more than a few kansen on their bases. So, on one level, I felt good that it wasn't just me being with one of them, but on another level, well, I kind of felt like I was lagging behind if I hadn't been with half the base yet. What was strange however was that none of them seem to know or at least be willing to admit it was one of their girls. Frowning that everyone seems to be keeping tight-lipped about it if they know who it is, I close the message board and stretch just as my intercom buzzes, but in an unusual pattern, Kako doesn't speak right away.

Tilting my head to the side I ask, "Kako?"

Again no response, getting out from behind my desk, I start to walk towards my door, this is really unusual for Kako. I just touch my door handle as I feel it twist in my hand, knowing I'm not the one turning it. Just as it slowly swings open, I hear Akagi's voice purring out, "Shi-ki-kan-sama."

With the door finishing opening, I gulp, she's dressed like normal, her black and red robes, but there was something about the way her tails were flicking back and forth, or maybe it was the heat she was giving off, but I knew on some level, I was in trouble. Backing away from the door, I stutter, "A…Akagi."

"Yes, Shi-ki-kan-sa-ma." She purrs crossing the threshold of my office door, using one of her tails to close the door behind her. Just as the door clicks shut, she drops her arms to the side, slipping off her black and red kimono top, and puffs out her bust towards me, one gloved hand being dragged atop her bust as she continues, "Is it true," she pauses, moving that hand to drag it down her neck and over her right breast, "Shi-ki-kan-sa-ma?"

I keep backing up as I play dumb, "Is what true?"

She keeps advancing and I bump into my desk, she leans forward, nuzzling my neck with the tip of her nose, as she whispers, "That a kansen is pregnant."

Leaning backward over my desk as she touches my chest with one hand I gulp and say, "So far, it's only a rumor."

She leans closer, lifting a leg onto my desk, pinning me under her as she nips my neck and whispers, "If you so desire, Akagi would not mind if you partake of Akagi in front of all the others."

Nope! Nope! NOPE!

Leaning back a little more, bending my knees, and slipping my feet forward, I slide out from under her, catching an eyeful of just how far she had been willing to go right here, right now. As soon as I'm behind her, I dash to my door, opening it and slamming it shut behind me, just as Kako enters from the door to the hallway, her head tilted to the side as she asks, "Shikikan?"

Looking back at my door, I say to her while moving to push past her, "Word is out."

She tilts her head to the side and asks, "What word?"

As the door handle starts to twist, I start to run down the hall as I yell, "The thing!"

After running for I don't know how long, I came to a stop, bending at my hips, my hands on my knees, chest heaving in and out as I try to catch my breath, my ear twitched as I hear the clicking of a pen, looking to my right I see pink boots and slender milky white legs then I hear the voice of my local 'reporter', "Shikian! Glad I found you, do you have time for a quick interview? Or maybe give me a hot take on some news that's going around like wildfire?"

Oh, fuck me… well, maybe Shoukaku will later.

Taking a deep breath and standing upright, I take off my cap and wipe my forehead as I say, "Depending on how you want to phrase those questions, Aoba."

"Awesome." She chirps before digging in her coat pockets for a notepad. I watch as she flips through several pages before asking, "So, is it true, that there is a kansen that is pregnant?"

I shrug and say to her, "As far as I know, there is a report out there saying there is one, and I'm sure she's not on this base."

She gives me a sly look, her dog-like turquoise ears twitching from front to back and she asks, "Are you sure about that? What if I told you there is a rumor going around that one of us has been intimate with you?"

My stomach drops.

Doing my best to keep my reaction under control I play it off, "I think I'd be the first to know about that, wouldn't I?"

She gives me a sideways look, I'm worried she's seeing right through me, keeping my breathing controlled and normal for the most part to appear calm. After a few moments she shrugs and returns to the first question, "So? Aside from the one report you mentioned any other information?"

I shake my head as I say, "As far as I am aware, nothing has been confirmed. But if it has happened, then I'm sure the high command is already aware. Just as I know you're aware that we collect regular blood samples from all kansen for testing purposes."

I hear her pen making scribbling sounds on the notepad, then she looks up and asks, "One last question, Shikikan?"

Looking over my shoulder to make sure I'm not being hunted still, I nod and say, "One last question."

"About two and a half months ago, the large tree outside the dorms had a branch crack, then there was a loud splashing sound coming from our, at the time, new open-air bath, do you know anything about that?" She asks.

Oh fuck.

Forcing a smile on my face I shake my head as I say, "Only that Kako asked me to get the manjuu to check it over and make sure it was alright."

She makes more notes then clicks her pen again and says, "Alright, that's all I've got for now, thanks Shikikan."

Offering a warm smile I say to her, "No problem Aoba, if there's anything else you'd like to ask, just let me know."

As she starts to walk away, she looks at me over her shoulder and says, "Say hi to Shoukaku for me later."

I stop in my tracks and spin around; my face was on fire, Aoba grinned wolfishly at me and shouted, "I knew it! You are seeing one of us!"

Pressing my lips together I hurry over to her and whisper, "How did you know?"

Aoba pats my chest, leans in, and whispers in my ear, "I think you forgot just how good us canid format kansen can smell, Shikikan, I can smell Shoukaku all over you."

I gulp and lean back, my heart in my throat as I ask, "Wh… what are you going to do with that information?"

She shrugs and puts the pen away in her coat as she says, "Nothing right now, but I may need to use it later."

After spending the bulk of the day, hiding from Akagi, I made my way home and sat down behind my laptop, and opened the message board, to see if there was a new response, to my surprise I had a DM waiting. Tilting my head to the side, I opened it up and saw a video file was attached. Opening the video file, it seemed to be security footage from a medical ward on base, hell we had them too. Not that we needed the security, more just to document how medical procedures work with kansen. I watch as a woman who was dressed like a nun had a file in front of her, then a heartbeat later, the door opens and this well-endowed kansen with red hair in pigtails walked into the room. I found the camera angle to be a little… problematic as it allowed me to see right down her top. I watch as the kansen with red hair sat down across from the woman that was dressed like a nun, the nun opened the file so fast that I couldn't see the names, and she held the file close to herself as she spoke to the redhead. The redhead's expression became shocked and her hands went to her belly, I kind of wish there was audio for this, then just as the door cracked open, the film ended.

Holy shit, it's true.

I looked up the name of the user, we all had different handles, and the one they had was 'Lu-Ow', and the only words in the message were, 'It's real and it's mine.'

Closing my laptop I lean back, running a hand down my face before I stand up and start to walk around my living room, this was bad. More alarmingly, I knew I shouldn't have that file, I knew I didn't have access to the ones from this base, those went right to research and medical, bypassing me entirely. I mean I know the girls are in a legal grey area straddling the line between person and hardware, but still, this was an invasion of privacy for me to even have it.

Going back to my laptop, I open the board again and search the message board for Lu-Ow, only to be told the user deleted their profile, but I still had a copy of the video file in my DM's. Running a hand through my hair I sigh and just as I go to turn out my lights, I hear a tapping on the back door of my quarters. Looking at my watch I see the time, and I feel a grin on my face, I know who this is. Reaching under the curtain, I unlock the door and let them in, keeping my back turned as my mind was still on what I just learned.

The door slides open and I hear Shoukaku ask with a giggle, "May I come in?"

"Door's open." I say to her as I take a seat on my couch, putting my hands behind my head, and looking at my ceiling, my mind racing with everything I'd gone through today.

I was paying just enough attention to what was going on around me to hear the door close and lock, but not enough to notice Shoukaku sit beside me and kiss my cheek before asking, "Are you alright?"

With a heavy sigh, "Not really, no, a lot, and I mean a lot of stuff happened today." I then look at Shoukaku and kiss her properly and ask, "How about you, how are you?"

She blushes when the kiss breaks, and she smiles before tapping my nose as she says, "I... I am ok, I suppose. Why don't you tell me about your day then?"

Taking in a deep breath I say to her, "Aoba knows we're seeing each other, Kako has known for months apparently, but has kept her trap shut because she didn't see a good reason to do anything. The rumor of a pregnant kansen out in the world seems like it isn't a rumor after all, and Akagi tried to enlist me in helping her duplicate the event."

Shoukaku's blue eyes are wide as I unloaded on her, as I mentioned Akagi, her eyes narrowed and she asked, "What did you tell, Akagi? You didn't help her did you?"

Shaking my head as I say, "Nope, I slipped out between her legs, got an eye full of just how far she was willing to go in my office, before sprinting away as fast as I could."

She starts laughing, even wiping a tear as she asks, "How much did you actually see?"

With a whispering tone that borders on the voice you'd use to suggest you're terrified I say, "Everything."

With a mighty howl of amusement, Shoukaku leans back against my couch, laughing hard as she said, "How can she be so shameless?"

With a shrug I say, "I think she wanted something and didn't want to waste time doing something to slow down the process."

She looks off to the side and asks a little nervously, "And I suppose you didn't, uh... give her... whatever she wanted, did you?"

I reach over and pat her thigh as I say, "Only kansen on this base that is getting that kind of assistance, is you, Shoukaku."

She snuggles against me and touches my hand, and I can see a mischievous look in her blue eyes as she turns her face to playfully nip my ear and whisper, "Wanna?"

Before I can answer, Shoukaku has gotten off my couch and was starting to make her way upstairs, dropping bits of her clothing along the way. I quickly turn off the lights and start to dash upstairs, I'm not going to turn down Shoukaku.

When I wake up the next morning, I see that I've been tagged in a post on the social media network on base, opening my phone, I go to the link, and what I see is a picture of me laying in bed, asleep, with Shoukaku sitting on my lap, doing a selfie, but careful not to show anything with the hashtag: #AyyyLMAO

Looking beside me, I see she's still asleep, but with a content smile on her face, and now I cannot help but wonder what new level of complication this is going to give me. With a sigh, I put my phone down, and snuggle in against her.

Whatever problems come from this, that's future me's problem.
