Rito: Fine.

Me: Thanks for your input. You can have fun this chapter.

Rito: Really?

Me: Yes. And some embarrassment, but that's a given.

Rito: Sighs Okay. I was hoping for a break.

Me: Pats Rito on his back Sorry, man. Maybe next time. On with the story!

Chapter 3: Problems resolved and the uncertain future

Rito, Lala, and present company had visited Ryouko's house after the "accident." As he stepped out of the large and complex-looking machine that Ryouko had instructed him to enter, he looked to Ryouko with a worried expression. "So, what's wrong, Sensei?"

"As far as I can tell," she began, crossing her arms and, in the process, lifting and accentuating her already obvious breasts, "there's nothing wrong with you. You're just technically a Devilucian male. You have normal vitals, no infections, a strong immune system, and you aren't comatose. In fact," she added, "you being this healthy is nothing short of a miracle."

"Maybe the universe is compensating for my misfortune." he muttered. "What did I ever do to deserve this?" he moaned, oblivious to the "fortune" that most guys would kill to have.

"Mmm." Lala replied, downcast. 'This must be hard on him, being changed all of a sudden.' she thought ruefully, 'And it's all my fault.'

Rito noticed the look on her face. "Hey, Lala, don't worry. This is no problem. I just have to adjust to the new body and to having a tail. I've dealt with worse." he said, putting a hand gently on her shoulder. She started to tear up. "I promise that I'm not mad at you."

"Rito!" she cried, latching onto him with a hug, bawling her eyes out.

Rito, being the gentleman that he is, returned the hug. But, he did feel slightly different. He felt almost... complete, standing there with his arms around her. 'Have I really fallen for her, this hard?' he thought. His tail twitched at these thoughts.

I'm so sorry, Rito!" Lala cried, sniffling. "I-I won't ever test my inventions on you again. I swear!" she promised, looking up at his face.

He simply looked at her with a kind expression. He then cupped her face, and said, "It's alright, Lala. I don't mind the inventions. After all, they all leave me with memories of you. And I wouldn't ever give that up. After all," he paused. "I love you." He then pulled her into a kiss.

Lala was too stunned to do anything. 'He... loves me?' she thought incredulously. 'Well, it would be rude NOT to kiss him back.' she decided, giving into the emotions that she had been hiding for far too long. She kissed him back so hard that he staggered from the force of the passionate kiss.

While the animals enjoyed their moment of passion, they forgot all about the others. Each had their own opinions about this situation.

'I hope they go further.' thought Momo crudely.

'How dare that beast!' thought Nana, reaching a hand out to stop them. Mikan grabbed the hand midway and gave Nana a 'do it and you're dead' glare that would have rivaled Yami's.

'I wonder what he tastes like,' thought Ryouko, amused.

"Well, all seems normal, at least biologically. Does he still have a tongue, Lala-chan?" teased Ryouko.

Rito and Lala turned away from each other, embarrassed that they lost themselves in such a moment. "H-hai." Lala stammered out, shuffling her feet.

"Don't be embarrassed." Smiled Ryouko, "It is normal for lovers to lose themselves in each other and forget the rest of the universe. I'm just surprised at why it didn't happen already."

"Technically, this is the first time that I confessed on purpose." he admitted, scratching the back of his head.

"Well, it's about time!" barked Nana. "You are still Onee-sama's fiancé, after all!"

"Actually, he's doesn't have any obligations. The engagement was annulled." Lala pointed out.

"Well, since Rito is 'normal,' shall we get home?" asked Mikan. "I still have to start dinner soon."

"Oh, no. Stay, please!" demanded Ryouko. "It has been so long since I had guests who weren't sick or dying, it really gets quite dull here."

"If it's no bother..." said Rito, not wanting to be rude.

"Not at all!" she exclaimed, pushing him towards the living room. 'Tonight is going to be fun!' she thought gleefully.

Me: So, how was that kiss, Rito?

Rito: *Appears behind me* You're SO dead!

Me: Ah, but I am the all-knowing- *Gets kicked*

Rito: Take that! *Sweatdrops* Oops. He's unconscious. Anyway, since he can't say it, Read and Review!

A/N: By the way, sorry for the short chapter. It was longer, but I decided to split it up for personal reasons. Also, this chapter ended nicely, don't you think?
