Me: Hey guys! I'm back. Rito runs really fast.

Rito: That's right I do.

Me: *jumps* Damnit Rito! Stop surprising me!

Rito: I don't think so. *winds up for a punch*

Me: Enough! Fall asleep! *points at Rito*

Rito: *falls asleep*

Lala: What did you do?!

Me: You too. *points at Lala*

Lala: *falls on top of Rito*

Me: Silence, finally. Alright! Here's the chapter!

Ch. 7: And one...

The next morning, Rito woke up sore. "That's what I get for dating the princess of Deviluke. A sore back." He chuckled, sitting up from bed. He looked at the sleeping form of Lala next to him. 'I wonder.' he thought, extrnding his conciousness toward the sleeping beauty, trying to read her mind. But instead of words or ideas that are normally associated with telepathy, and what he normally gets, he got a very sensual image of himself doing things that Yami would actually kill him for to Lala, which in turn caused him to have similar thoughts, thus distracting him and ending his telepathic insight into the mind of Lala. He shook her awake. "Lala?"

She rubbed the sleep from her eyes. "Yes?"

"Slow down with your imagination, dear."

Lala blushed. "Stop reading my mind!" She yelled playfully, hitting Rito with a pillow. Then she hugged Rito fiercely, pulling him back into bed. "Thank you for yesterday, Rito. That was a very brave thing for you to do." She said, drawing little circles in his arm.

"Anything for you, Lala. And thank you for last night."

"That? I can do plenty more. I was just worried that it wasn't going to fit. It's so big!" She exclaimed.

"Yeah, well, I'm glad that it did. Nice technique, by the way." he complimented her.

"Ryouku showed me the first part, and said that I would figure out the rest." she said, getting out of bed and going to her dresser to get ready.

"I'll have to thank her for tipping you." He said, mimicking the princesses actions.

Said princess went to the bathroom door. "You know that you have to take responsibility, right?" Lala asked, turning around.

"I'm prepared for that." He said, slipping on his shirt.

"I knew it!" Nana yelled, busting down the door. "Step away from Onee-chan you beast!"

"My, my," Momo murmured from the doorway. "So Rito-kun is now a man?"

"What are you talking about?!" Rito asked, confused. He would have read their minds, but he was wary of Momo's imagination.

"You know what we're talking about!" Nana yelled, pointing her finger, accusingly, at Rito. "You just admitted to defiling our sister!"

Silence, then... "Ehhhh?!" He exclaimed, thinking back to their earlier conversation. He thought about the sentence structure. When he put the pieces together, he grew a blush that would have shamed a tomato. "I was talking about my armor, not... that!" Rito spluttered, pointing to a storage unit on the far wall. "My armor was a bitch to put away, so I asked Lala for help."

"So you didn't deflower her?" Nana growled.

"Awww." Moaned Momo. "I got my hoped up for nothing." She pouted, leaving the archway.

"I didn't have sex with Lala last night. Now leave," he glared, "before I make you." He sighed. "Gomen. I'm just high strung because of yesterday." He sank to the floor. "I'm not in the mood to argue. Can we continue this later, Nana-chan?" He asked, looking up.

"We don't have to." Nana said, casting her gaze to the floor in shame. "I apologize. I have no right for butting into-"

"Stop." Rito said, smiling. "I'm happy that you see you flaws, but it is your responsibility to look after your sister."

"So, you aren't mad?" She inquired.

"Not at all." He said giving his trademark grin. "If you stopped berating me, my life would slow down too much. I guess I need you, Nana." He finished, scratching the back of his head.

'He n-needs me?' Nana thought, all other thoughts coming to an abrupt halt.

"Awww. See Nana? Rito does like you." Lala teased.

Blushing, Nana kneeled on the ground so that she was equal height to Rito. "So you do like me?" She asked carefully.

Rito frowned. "Of course I do. Why wouldn't I?"

"Because I constantly call you a beast..." she muttered.

He laughed at that. "That?" He chuckled more. "I know that you're just teasing and don't mean it. I mean, if that's all, you have nothing to worry about. Plus, I thought you liked beasts."

'Good. I see why the rest of you like him.' She thought. Blushing at her own actions, she leaned forward. "So you accept me?"

"Of course." He smiled closing his eyes. "I accept your every flaw and perfection. Why wouldn't-" But he didn't finish his sentence because Nana's lips were blocking his ability to do so. 'What is she doing?!' He thought. But obviously she wanted it, he kissed her back.

Soon, all of the tension left Nana. 'He didn't reject me!' she thought. 'He tastes pretty good, too. I wonder...' She slid her toungue forward and it met lips while asking for entrance.

'What the hell?!' Rito thought wildly. 'No! No! I will not!' But then Nana's tongue hit his lips again, begging. 'Damnit, fine.' And his lips parted. 'Just because you got in doesn't mean you make the rules.' He inwardly grinned, fighting for and achieving dominance. Having won that, he broke the kiss for lack of oxygen.

Nana pouted, but smiled. "I guess Momo-neesan was right."

"About?" Rito was confused.

Nana opened her mouth but didn't get to speak. Instead the last of the Devilukians joined them. "I knew it!" Momo cheered from the doorway. "Now the Harem plan can finally comence!"

Lala also cheered. "Yay! Now we can be one big happy family!"

A pause, then... "EHHHHHH?!"

We find One Yuuki Rito alone in his room at Ryouku's house, cross-legged and deep in thought. Who could really blame him, though. He had three, three, Devilukian princesses, an assassin that was a living weapon, a gender bending Memorozian, a sultry Witch Doctor and a ghost, all pining for his affections now. That doesn't include his sister, who had some wierd moments and facial features recently, abd the crush of his life until recently. If he really thought about it, it already was a harem, albeit one-sided. He didn't even want to think about the sister thing. Putting that aside though, he could honestly say that they were all pretty cute. Hell, they were down-right sexy! So, the question is: what to do? Abandon his morales that he was raised with and live with a... harem... if beautiful women? Or pick Lala only and remain as he was. Life was hard. He could imagine his parent's reactions to this type of decision. A freak out, followed by total cut off from his parents. Or quite the opposite. A warm welcome, followed by inviting Gid over for dinner. Gid! He totally forgot about Gid. What would the crazy king say? Would he accept such a decision, or just blast him into oblivion for simplicity's sake? The scenarios were... difficult to comprehend.

There was a knock on the door. "Rito? May I come in?" Lala asked, opening the door. But the man didn't hear her. He was list in thought. So, she opened the door anyway, and found him... hovering five feet above the ground. "Rito!" She gasped. Unfortunatly, this broke him out of his concentration and he dropped like a stone.

"Oww." He complained, getting up. "Yes, Lala?"

She grinned sheepishly. "Sorry about that, but Otou-san is expecting you downstairs." She said cheerfully, as if it were normal for the most powerful person to visit her. Oh, wait. It was.

Me: That's a wrap on this chapter, folks!

Rito: Yeah, yeah. Just keep it down. *holds the side of his head*

Me: That time of year again?

Rito: Yeah. At least it only happens once a year.

Gid: For once I agree with you, whelp. I hate women on their periods.

Rito: Try it here. The women here get theirs once a month.

Gid: I have newfound respect for you, my son.

Me: Until next time! Also, did anyone notice the new M rating? :)
