(time shift (two hours later)
In Rika's mom's car.
"I'm so glad your parents said you could come spend the night with me, we're gonna have so much fun." she said, then she whispered something into his ear, "especially since my mom has to leave for a modeling gig in Seattle America at around eleven pm."
Takato blushed, "whatcha mean?" he whispered back.
"you'll see." she said, and then she laid her head down in his lap and closed her eyes.
Takato smiled nervously And brought out his wallet and looked at something the school had given him, (along with every other male student) he hadn't even thought about the little thing in weeks.
Rika peeked up at him, "whatcha got there?" she asked.
"ohh nothing really." he said quickly shutting his wallet, 'what am I thinking, I'm not even out of highschool.' he thought.
Rika was still laying on him wondering what he was thinking about, she actually wanted to have some fun with Takato tonight, she just wasn't sure how much yet, she just figured they would see where the night took them.
"All right kids well were here, and , I need to have a talk with you young man.
"ok, first off, I've already talked with your mom about all of this, and to be honest, she's fine with it, so here it is, I'm leaving tonight and won't be back for four days, I would like you to stay with Rika till I get back, her grandmother would but she's on vacation in the tropics, and I don't want her to be alone, so please do whatever it takes to keep her happy, I haven't seen her like this in years, truly in love, just promise me one thing." she said.
The whole time Takato just nodded, "what would that be?" he asked.
"just promise me I won't have grandchildren when I get back." she said jokingly.
Just then Rika came back out and grabbed his hand and led him towards the house, namely her room.
As he entered her door way he realized something, "hey, I don't think I've ever been in your room." he remarked.
"probably not, I don't usually let people in here." she said.
They laughed and tried to think of something to do, and after much deliberation, they decided on watching a couple of movies.
"hey Takato, could you grab me something more comfortable out of my closet before the movie starts?" she asked.
He nodded and headed towards a white set of doors on the other side of the room. Rika quickly jumped up and blocked that doorway.
"uhh not this closet, this is my 'other' closet." she said still standing there.
Takato smiled, "so, stuff I should see, but not other people." he said.
She sook her head blushing for once, "no, sorry, in here is the weird stuff my mom recently started buying me," she said, then continued on to yell so her mom could hear her, "stuff I did not ask for I should mention."
"oh honey, you were sixteen and had no clothes that weren't jeans, or full cover tee-shirts, I had to do something, I mean, you were wearing pumpkin panties(bloomers) till you were 14 dear." her mom called out.
'creak' went the door behind Rika, causing her to freeze.
"damn." Takato said quietly.
"god dammit Takato, that's my personal business." she said trying to look angry.
"yeah, I can see why you'd wanna keep this private." he said holding up what appeared to be a bunny style bikini.
Her mom appeared behind her and grabbed the out fit and her daughter somehow carrying them both to a changing room.
"okay we'll Rika, I have your shirt, bra, and your pants, so either you come out wearing the swimsuit, or just your underwear." her mom called out.
"uh miss, you do realize she's gonna blame this on me, right?" he asked.
"well duh, you think I would do this without a scapegoat?" she asked.
Takato just kinda stood there.
Rika was still inside, she knew she would never wear the swimsuit in front of any body, as it had ears and a poofball tail attached to it 'maybe Takato, but never for mom.' she thought.
"all right I'm coming out." she called before walking out in 'almost' all her glory.
Before Takato had looked away, but Rika's mom, who by now you know is a very strong woman despite her appearance turned him around just before Rika walked out.
Of course, being mr. Cool Takato first gasped, then he made a little chocking sound, before finally getting a nosebleed and passing out.
"do ya think he's dead?" Takato heard Rika ask her mom just as he was slipping out of consciousness.
"no, just unconscious, oh hey, we should do stuff to him while he's out." her mom said.
"Like what?" she asked with the same mischievous smile her mom had.
Takato woke up and noticed red marks all over his skin, and on closer inspection, they appeared to be smooch marks, and then he realized something else, his shirt and pants were missing.
He walked out of what he now realized to be Rika's room and searched around before finding her in her moms room.
"what happened, did I miss something fun." he asked still groggy.
Rika turned around and he realized she was wearing his shirt, "oh your awake, and you owe me a thank you, I'm the only reason you still have those on." she said motioning to his boxers.
He blushed, "uhh whatcha mean?" he asked.
"we'll my mom asked me how far I wanted to go and I stopped there." she said.
He started to walk forwards in an obvious attempt to retrieve his shirt, "oh I wouldn't come over here, that is unless you want to see about as much of my my mom as you've seen of me." she said.
"oh yeah right, like your mom would be half naked in front of you." he said continuing walking towards her untill he saw a half naked Rumiko, "oh I'm so sorry ma'm, I thought shjudas just trying to trick me again, she quite good at it." he said still in the room but blocking his view with his hands.
"hey, how come you didn't pass out when you saw her breasts?" Rika asked annoyed.
"firstly, Takato, you can uncover your eyes, I model all kinds of cloths, too many people have seen to much of me for me to care, and secondly, Rika it's because I'm not as attractive to him as you are obviously." Rumiko said plainly.
Takato slowly walked back towards the door and motioned for Rika to follow.
"oh hold on just me minute, I need to talk to her about something", she said running over towards both of them still undresses, Takato did his best to advert his eyes from her body.
"look Takato" she said putting her hands on her hips, "I feel I should just tell you now, we have a more open house hold than your family, so if your going to be spending more time over here, I would just get used to it, if you were just a friend of Rika's I would definantly be dressed, but as far as I'm concerned, your part of the family now." she said sincerely.
Takato was caught off gaurd by what she had said, "wait, you really think of me as Part of your family?" he asked trying to force himself to look her in the eyes.
"how could I not, you make my little girl happier than she's ever been, and I'm grateful for that." she said spreading out her arms to both the kids.
Takato still extremely embarrassed, looked to Rika for conformation, she just smiled and shrugged before getting off the bed and embracing her mom, and Takato followed suite.
"just one big happy family", they all seemed to say.
