Chapter 102

The only time Kurumu was not happy about her bond with Tsukune was when she knew he was alone with another woman. Specifically, when he was alone with Moka. There were several times during the late evening and night that Kurumu found herself aware that Tsukune's heart was beating fast and he was breathing hard. While she had to fight back her jealousy, Kurumu couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to be with him. To be the one making his heart race and his breathing heavy.

Kurumu woke early, feeling a little grumpy from her less than restful night. Tsukune had spent the night with Moka, and now Kurumu wanted her turn with him. She may not be his lover, yet, but that didn't mean her time with him was of any less importance, or that her love was any less in strength and depth. Kurumu was growing to dislike Mondays, and if Moka was going to continue claiming Sunday nights, Kurumu was going to dislike Mondays even more. Monday was they day teachers liked to surprise students with quizzes and extra assignments. After school, Tsukune always had committee meetings on Mondays, which took up time he could have spent with her.

Kurumu headed out the door to get an early start on the day. She was determined to make time with Tsukune happen, even if it was minute by minute. With her objective in mind, Kurumu crossed the street to Tsukune's front door.

Tsukune almost feeling jumpy. Monday had yet to make its mark on him. From the beginning, Mizore and Kurumu had both been making plays for his attention, while Moka just smiled contentedly. The battle for his attention was nothing new in and of itself, but Tsukune realized that he was more aware of his companions, and was taking their attention more seriously. He realized that now that he was no longer getting as embarrassed, he was able to enjoy the attention more.

At lunch, the twins Kumi and Rumi caught up to him before he could sit down with his companions. They had the weekend summery from the Student Police and his mail from the Love Letter Club. Now that he had regular deliveries, it was never more than just a few letters at a time, and sometimes nothing for a week or more. The twins had received enough attention from Tsukune that after they left he received frowns from his companions. At the end of classes for the day, Tsukune parted company with the others to attend a Festival Committee meeting.

The school's festival was far enough off that the committee meeting was without much pressure. With an eye on the future, and hoping to minimize his own stress, Tsukune found himself an assistant. Yamata Yuu was a first year boy that had been selected by his grade to represent them to the Festival Committee. Tsukune saw the nervous looking boy applying himself to taking notes at the first meeting, and inventorying booth parts and decoration materials at later committee gatherings. The younger student was serious about his work, even if he was intimidated by his upper classmates.

"Yamata," Tsukune said to the younger boy as he approached the Festival Committee's building. "I have something I want you to do."

"Aono sempai," Yuu went stiff when one of the most popular and respected seniors of the school spoke to him. "Yes. What can I do for you?"

"Come with me," Tsukune said, leading Yuu into the building. "Is it alright if I call you Yuu, Kohai?"

"Yes sempai," Yuu agreed.

"Good," Tsukune nodded. "Then you can call me Tsukune. It will be good working with you."

"Thank you, Sempai," Yuu said. "Errrr... Tsukune."

"Alright everybody," Tsukune announced as he entered the main room. He saw that most of the committee members were already present. "I have a quick announcement before we get to work. As you know I am on more than one committee, and have other responsibilities as well. To help me do the best job that I can in making the school's Cultural Festival a success, I have asked Yuu here to help me out." Tsukune put his hand on Yuu's shoulder. "So from now on, until the festival is over, Yuu is going to be my personal assistant."

Yuu though that he would faint. During the meeting he kept wondering if his sempai was playing a joke on him. The other committee members took Tsukune at his word, and some even congratulated Yuu. After the meeting was over, Tsukune took a moment to explain to Yuu what was expected of him. Yuu was still expecting to be told it was all a joke. At best he expected to be Tsukune's message runner. It turned out that he was only partially correct. Tsukune told Yuu that he would be running messages, but that was only a part of what he was going to do. Yuu was going to be an extension of Tsukune, to help him be the next best thing to being in two places at once. Tsukune also told Yuu to come to him with any problems or ideas, even his own.

Tsukune had a plan for Yuu. He was going to use the boy to help him, but he was also going to train Yuu. By the time the festival was over, Yuu would know every detail of what went on, and how it was arranged. After Tsukune graduated, Yuu would be a major asset to the Festival Committee, and likely the next committee president.

Tsukune left the Festival Committee's building and turned to the village, ready to enjoy a little quiet study time, when Kurumu dropped out of the sky, literally. Tsukune jumped in surprise and tensed up, readying himself to respond to some crisis or another. He gave Kurumu his full attention.

"Kurumu," Tukune question. "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong," Kurumu said as she reached out and hugged Tsukune. "Is that I don't get to spend enough time with the man I love. So... I'm here to claim you before you get busy with anything else."

Tsukune let himself relax. There was no emergency that he needed to deal with. He put his arms around Kurumu. He had missed spending time with her too. They shared a gentle kiss.

"Would you like to go for a walk?" Tsukune invited with a smile.

"I would love to," Kurumu smiled back.

Kurumu declared her 'Catch Tsukune alone after his meeting' plan a success and made a mental note to use it as often as she could. They held hands and walked together through the woods, just the two of them. It was quiet, with little to look at or any other distractions, making the moment all about being together.

"I love you," Tsukune said without preamble. He was instantly rewarded by a flash of warm feelings from Kurumu. "You know, I'm glad you wanted to spend time with me." Again the warm emotions flowed through their bond.

"I... I worry about you, Tskune," Kurumu said, blushing. His honest and direct words controlled her heart, making it hard for her to think about anything else but him. She wanted to hear Tsukune say more nice things, but the way he made her feel was too good sometimes. "You are working so hard, and you never get to have a chance to relax."

"I get to relax when I am with you," Tsukune said. "And I am working hard now so that I have a better chance of having the life I want in the future." He stopped walking and tugged Kurumu around so that they could face each other. He gave her a confident smile. "I finally have a plan for my future. I know what kind of work I want to do after I graduate."

Kurumu watched Tsukune's face as he talked about his career plan. He had a fire in his eyes and his whole face showed his determination. She could hear the confidence in his voice and could tell how glad he was to have a plan for his future. Kurumu knew that Tsukune had been bothered by the lack of direction for his life after graduation. She couldn't help but feel inspired by him.

"Tsukune," Kurumu spoke in a soft voice. "You're wonderful."

"Kurumu..." Tsukune looked into her eyes.

"Tsu-ku-nee..." Kurumu felt hear heart beating.

Tsukune felt himself getting lost in the moment. Clarity of thought brought him back to reality. Before anybody could interrupt his time with Kurumu, he took her face in his hands and kissed her. It was a kiss that carried his feelings and desires and the countless tiny things that defy definition. Kurumu was taken by surprise by Tsukune's kiss. He moved with such commitment and serious intention. It seemed strange to label a kiss as serious, but that is what it was. The kiss was forceful and Kurumu became unaware of anything else. Her entire world was Tsukune and the connection they shared.

When Kurumu was aware of herself and the larger world again she was breathing hard and her heart was racing. Some small inner voice complained that men were supposed to be enslaved by her kisses, not the other way around. Kurumu ignored the voice. If Tsukune kept offering her such wonderful kisses she would follow him anywhere. She was holding on to Tsukune, not just hugging him, but clinging to him for support because her legs had lost their strength.

"Tsukune..." Kurumu breathed.

"I have assignments to finish for tomorrow," Tsukune said, slightly spoiling Kurumu's mood. "And I am sure you do to."

"Yeah, yeah," Kurumu pouted.

"A good education is important," Tsukune reminded her. "So after you get your work done, would you like to come over and let me wash your wings?"

Kurumu looked up at Tsukune and blinked in surprise. Tsukune had never given her such a bold invitation before. In the past, the most that he had managed was to make some kind of offer when the mood had already been set. This time Tsukune was taking control. He was inviting Kurumu to share an intimate moment with him.

"Yes," Kurumu blushed, radiating happy, excited feelings. "I would like that."

As they walked back to the village together, Kurumu replayed Tsukune's words in her head. He had made the invitation to her. He had taken initiative to be with her. Tsukune had asked her to 'let' him wash her wings. That caught in Kurumu's mind and she picked at it for a while. Tsukune had not offered to wash her wings. He had asked for permission to wash her wings. Tsukune had invited Kurumu to share a private moment with him, but he wanted to do something for her. He wasn't offering it as a service, but instead he was asking to be close to her because it was something he wanted. Tsukune wanted to be close to Kurumu and to do things for her. That thought kept circling through her mind, making Kurumu feel warm inside.

Kurumu parted company with Tsukune when they reached the village. After a brief kiss, she ran to her house to tackle her school assignments. Trying to get her schoolwork done nearly drove her crazy. It wasn't that she had a lot to do, but rather that she normally took her time doing it, and now she wanted to rush through it. It did not help that her mind kept wandering. As she tried to get her assignments done, Kurumu kept taking little breaks to get ready to see Tsukune. She read her text book while preparing her dinner, and ate one handed while she wrote out her work. She packed a bag with the things she would need for a proper bath, and repacked it three times to make sure she had everything. Kurumu even packed the things she would need after a bath, including a fresh uniform in the morning. Half way through her History assignment, Kurumu unpacked her uniform and pajamas. When the paper was finished, she packed her clothes again. Her mind nearly exploded doing her Math assignment, because the more she tried to hurry the harder it became, slowing her down. Kurumu thought about abandoning her school work, but she was afraid Tsukune would ask her if she had finished, and then she would ether have to face his disappointment, or lie to him. And if she lied, he would find out and be disappointed anyway.

By the time Kurumu finished her school assignments it was late evening and she was ready for a bath. She considered washing herself before visiting Tsukune, to wash away the sweat she had worked up while trying to get her work done, but rejected the idea. While it only seemed a little silly to wash herself before having Tsukune wash her back and wings, Kurumu rejected the idea because it would take time, and she didn't want to wait. With a sense of relief if not accomplishment, Kurumu packed her work into her school bag. With bags in hand, Kurumu headed for Tsukune's house.

It was late enough in the evening when Kurumu arrived that Tsukune had time to spare. If he had not invited Kurumu over, he would have already bathed and gone to bed early. He welcomed her in and helped her with her bags, letting her know that he was glad that she wanted to spend time with him. They relaxed together for a short time, sipping tea, before accepting that it was getting late.

"Tsukune," Kurumu asked as she opened her bag. She started pulling out her preferred skin cleansers. "Should I wear my swimsuit?"

"Only if you want to," Tsukune answered. "Would you be more comfortable if I wore mine?"

"No," Kurumu said quickly. A small blush colored her cheeks.

The bath went better than Kurumu had expected. Tsukune's shyness was small. She could tell by the tension in his neck and back that Tsukune was deliberately letting himself be exposed to her. Having his hands on her body, touching her back and wings, felt almost as good physically as just having him paying attention to her made her feel inside. After washing, Kurumu and Tsukune squeezed into his small bath together for a relaxing soak.

"I noticed you brought more than a bath kit with you," Tsukune observed. "I was a little nervous about that."

"Why is that?" Kurumu asked, wondering if she had been too forward. She was still unsure if packing enough to spend the night and to get ready in the morning had been too much. Tsukune had expressed how uncomfortable he felt about her being too forward.

"I wasn't sure," Tsukune explained. "Just how I should go about inviting you to spend the night."

"All you have to do is ask," Kurumu said. "If you ask me I would be happy to spend the night with you." She managed to turn about in the bath so that she was kneeling between Tsukune's legs, facing him. "And not just the night. I will spend all day with you." Kurumu leaned into Tsukune and wrapped her arms around his neck. "If you ask me to, I will spend every day and every night with you, Tsukune. I would spend my life with you, Tsukune."

"Kurumu," Tsukune put his arms around her. "Some day, I might ask that of you."

"Tsukune..." Kurumu felt her heart skip a beat.

"But for now," Tsukune smiled gently. "It is getting late and we both need some rest. Would you like to spend the night?"

"Yes," Kurumu said, before leaning in for a kiss.

After their bath, Kurumu had some decisions to make. Tsukune had not tried to hide his body during their bath, and had not objected to Kurumu exposing hers. After getting a candid look at his body, Kurumu had felt a little nervous. She did not know if Tsukune was ready to be her lover, but she wanted to be his. As she dressed for bed, Kurumu had to decide how to present herself to Tsukune. Going to bed naked, she knew, would be too forward for Tsukune's sensibilities. Kurumu went through the bag she had packed and pulled out her underwear. She immediately set aside her bra for the morning, sleeping in the thing was not something she would ever do willingly. Panties took a moment of thought before being put on. She had thrown a set of pajamas in her bag because Kurumu had not known what to expect, and if nothing else, she could have warn them back to her house after the bath, instead of her dirty clothes. Kurumu considered the pajamas carefully for a moment, taking a quick look around to see if Tsukune was spying on her. Kurumu returned the bottoms of her pajamas to her bag, having chosen to only wear the top. Kurumu also decided to leave all but one button open, showing off her body while keeping the most exciting parts covered.

Kurumu had chosen to get dressed in the bathroom, because she wanted a little time for her personal cleaning rituals. She wasn't going to wear a beauty mask to bed, every woman's magazine agreed that such a thing was only for after marriage, or when the woman wished to discourage the advances of her partner. Kurumu still wanted to take a little extra time to make sure her face was properly scrubbed and her hair dry. When she was finished with her rituals, and had packed everything back away, Kurumu emerged from the bathroom. She found Tsukune in his room, sitting at his desk reading a small book. He looked up when Kurumu entered the room, and from his reaction Kurumu knew she had made the right choices about how to dress for bed.

Tsukune and Kurumu went to bed together. They kissed and cuddled a little as they settled into the sheets, enjoying the darkness. Kurumu was very excited, but knew that Tsukune was working himself hard, so she did not protest when he said 'goodnight' and drifted off to sleep. It took Kurumu a while longer to relax enough to finally fall asleep herself. One moment she was looking at Tsukune's sleeping face, and in the next moment she was slipping into dreams.

XxxxxxxX

Kurumu woke up in the predawn hours to a moment of confusion. She felt warm but crowded. It took her a moment to figure out why her bed felt strange. Then she remembered that she was in Tsukune's bed, and was suddenly clear headed. She noticed how strong and handsome Tsukune's sleeping face appeared in the dim light of the room. Kurumu cuddled up close to him carefully, not wanting to disturb his sleep.

Try as she might, Kurumu could not get back to sleep. She would doze off for a moment, only to snap back to wakefulness. She wasn't feeling tired, and Tsukune was so close to her. Kurumu wanted to let Tsukune rest, because she knew he needed it, but at the same time, she wanted him to wake up and so he could pay attention to her. Kurumu tried to sleep, but every time she woke up she found herself checking the clock beside Tsukune's bed.

Classes started at eight in the morning, Kurumu reviewed her morning schedule in her head. She normally got up by half past six in order to get ready in time. By half past seven, she would head out the door to meet up with Tsukune and start the twenty minute walk to school. Tsukune didn't have to do as much to get ready for the day, because he was a boy. He also had Ruby to help him out. Kurumu reasoned that Tsukune wasn't likely to wake up much before seven. At a quarter after six, Kurumu was too restless to even pretend to try to sleep. She climbed out of bed carefully and started her morning rituals to get ready for school. She did everything she could, short of fixing breakfast or making her lunch, to get ready for the day ahead. She discovered Ruby in the kitchen working happily, but felt kind of awkward so she left the witch alone and retreated to Tsukune's room, closing the door behind her. It was still twenty minutes to seven.

Kurumu saw Tsukune laying on his side in bed, still sleeping. She hoped that he would overlook a little selfishness on her part and went over to him. Kurumu pulled back the blankets and sat on the edge of the bed. Tsukune, maybe because of her, rolled onto his back at that moment. Kurumu was treated to the sight of a defenseless Tsukune in a state of being only partially awake. She felt herself blush as she took in the sight of Tsukune' boxers raised up in the front. Kurumu kept looking between Tsukune's face and his lap. With nervous fingers, Kurumu reached out carefully. She slipped her fingers in through the opening in the front of Tsukune's boxers, immediately feeling the heat coming from his body.

Excitement and desire made Kurumu bold. She reached for Tsukune's flesh and was rewarded for her efforts by feeling it in her grasp. Once she had him in her hand, it was so easy to draw him out. Kurumu could feel her heart pounding with excitement in her chest as she looked at Tsukune's masculine flesh in her hand. It was warm, and heavy for it's size. Kurumu squeezed Tsukune gently, moving her hand about to look at the object of her curiosity from different angles. It was a part of Tsukune she wanted to know intimately. It was a part of him that he had already shared with other women in his life. As Tsukune's flesh grew more firm in her hand, Kurumu felt the urge to take what she wanted from him while he still slept. It would be so easy for her, it was a natural talent for any Succubus. She held back because she knew Tsukune would not approve.

Kurumu looked up at Tsukune's sleeping face and thought about her choices. Her mother had talked to her a lot about the ways a woman could please a man, and by pleasing him, she could control him. Ageha had even gone so far as to watch a pornographic movie with her daughter, explaining it in clinical, critical detail. While Kurumu had never more than kissed a boy, she did know about other ways to bring a man pleasure than going all the way. Leaning down, Kurumu kissed Tsukune gently on the lips.

"Good morning Tsukune," Kurumu said in a warm voice. "Time to wake up."

"Mmmmmm," Tsukune smiled slowly and opened his eyes. "Morning Kurumu."

"Tsukune," Kusumu looked at him with seductive eyes. "You know that I love you, right?"

"Yes," Tsukune answered, fighting a yawn. "And I love you too."

"Do you really love me?" Kurumu questioned.

"Yes," Tsukune nodded, blinking the sleep from his eyes.

"If you really love me," Kurumu continued. "That means you will forgive me if I do something a little selfish, won't you?"

"Of course," Tsukune said.

"Good," Kurumu grinned as she gave his flesh a firm squeeze.

"Wha..." Tsukune was suddenly wide awake, but his exclamation was cut off by Kurumu's demanding kiss.

Kurumu was rather pleased with herself. She had overwhelmed Tsukune with her kiss and his masculine flesh had grown hard in her grip. She continued to squeeze it as she rubbed the end with her thumb. As she attacked Tsukune, she could feel his heart beating faster.

"Kurumu," Tsukune protested in a hoarse whisper. "What are you doing?" He tried to find the leverage to sit up.

"I am being selfish," Kurumu said. Now that Tsukune was awake, she felt her courage starting to slip away. She was going to do something incredibly forward, and was starting to feel afraid of how Tsukune would react. "I love you." Kurumu kissed him again.

Kurumu realized that she had to commit or quit. If she did not continue her attack, then all that she would have achieved would be to have worked up Tsukune, possibly to the point of wanting to find satisfaction with Moka or Ruby. Kurumu couldn't afford to retreat now, so she pressed the attack. She broke off her kiss with Tsukune, and made her move before he could realize the direction of her next attack, let alone defend against it.

Kurumu tried not to over-think what she was doing. With a firm grip to keep Tsukune from trying to escape, and to keep herself from retreating, Kurumu launched her attack. She bent herself down over Tsukune and opened her mouth. In a way it was like being a little girl again. When she was little, Kurumu would try to get a whole cookie in her mouth in a single bite, as much to make it irrevocably hers as to enjoy the taste of it. It was a very spoiled thing to do. Those same feelings and motivations bubbled up through Kurumu as she went down on Tsukune. She wanted to claim him for her own as much as she wanted to know the pleasure and the flavor of him.

Only once she was committed did Kurumu let herself truly be aware of things. She was aware of the heat from Tsukune's body. She could feel the tension in his muscles as he struggled with his sense of shock. But more than anything else, Kurumu was aware of Tsukune's flesh between her lips. It was strange, she thought, that such an intimate and important part of Tsukune should taste so much like his finger, or his earlobe. While it was still his skin, Kurumu had expected this one place to taste special in some way. Drawing on what her mother had explained to her, Kurumu applied her skill and knowledge of kissing to the object of her attention. As she did, she realized that it was the textures that made Tsukune's flesh so unique. Because there was neither muscle or bone, the flesh was less ridged at first, but had grown more firm than his arms or chest. Even in its most awakened state it was somehow soft to the touch of her fingers and lips. It was also very warm, almost hot.

Kurumu was distantly aware Tsukune was reacting to her attentions. He let out a groan that was filled with frustration. She counted it as proof that she was doing something right. Tsukune wasn't trying to stop her, no mater how tense he was holding himself. As she applied herself to the task she had taken on, Kurumu tried to be aware of Tsukune. Her mother had taught her that watching a man's reactions was important. Kurumu ended up climbing up onto the bed and over Tsukune's legs. In her new position she was able to steal looks at Tsukune face to gauge her performance.

One movie and a few frank conversations with her mother were not enough to give Kurumu any serious skills when it came to giving pleasure to a man. It was the suddenness of her attack that gave Kurumu her chance. The fact that Tsukune had relatively little experience, and was not immune to Kurumu's charms to begin with, aided Kurumu. In spite of his intentions, Tsukune found Kurumu's attentions exciting, and the pleasure was impossible for him to ignore. His base desires rose up within him, a dark reflection of his love for Kurumu. The two together were a potent combination. Primal hungers and emotional energies blended together. In spite of himself, Tsukune reached out to Kurumu. He gripped her shoulder with one hand and ran the other through her hair.

Kurumu was caught up in the moment. She could feel Lust stirring within Tsukune, and knowing how rare that was, took pride in the knowledge that she was the inspiration for it. Tsukune was touching her, giving her attention without trying to reject hers. She was aware of a sweet flavor on her tongue even as Tsukune groaned, or possible growled.

"Kurumu..." Tsukune's voice was gruff, tortured as he spoke her name.

Kurumu felt a rush of pleasure, affection, excitement, and other feelings she couldn't name. Tsukune saying her name was gratifying. His body tensed and his flesh swelled. She felt the tremor running through him as she took his control away and he reached his limit. In a rush, Tsukune's moment of release arrived.

Kurumu was a succubus. She was a youkai that lived off of men's desires. She remembered the truth of her basic nature as she received Tsukune's release. It was more than just a physical sharing. In that moment, Kurumu received not just from his body, but from his spirit as well. The rush of energy, of power, was intoxicating. Kurumu felt so good, so alive in that moment that it was like anything was possible. Also in that moment. Kurumu was aware of Tsukune as never before. She could feel the heat of his emotions, and even the lingering pain of his scars and the burning of the youkai blood in his body. It was a flash of clarity and closeness that nearly brought Kurumu to tears of joy.
