Author's Note: Back to Japan and 2P!Japan. We advance more with Kumiko/2P!Okinawa. The match just wrote itself. Kumiko's story is going to be interesting. Kuro doesn't seem to happy to see her. We are going to see why. I think I will come back to the couple later on. I know what I plan to do next week. We haven't really seen England or the nightcomers. I am going to fix that. You will have to stick around and see. For now, enjoy this week's match.

Match Fifteen: Tamamo no Mae:

Kiku has a front row seat to everything. Kuro has taken over everything. He acted like he owned the place. Everyone on the outside couldn't tell the difference. However, there's going to go more drama to follow behind.

It all started with a woman.

She knocked on the door.

Kiku lifted his head. He's seen her before. A strange sense of dread and awe washed over him. There was only one reason why she was here.

Kumiko walked up to the door and knocked.

"Hello?" she asked. "Is anybody here? I'm looking for my husband." She knocked on the door again.

"Sweetie? Are you here? Sweetie? Sweetie?" Kumiko asked. She backed up when the door slid open. A woman dressed up like a cat girl greeted her. They stared at each other for a long moment.

"Who are you?" Kumiko asked. The cat girl blinked at her.

"Who are… you?" she asked. Kumiko tried to look into the house.

"Is my husband home?" she asked.

"No!" the cat girl said. She was about to shut the door in her face but her body froze. The wife frowned.

"Take me to my husband," Kumiko said. The look in the cat girl's eyes glazed over.

"Yes, mistress," she said. The cat girl backed up from the door.

"Thank you," Kumiko said, bowing her head. She followed the cat girl into the giant house.

Kiku can only watch. Kumiko was beautiful but deadly in her own way. She stood in the living room. The Japanese man held his breath. Something told her that this woman was worse than Kuro himself. She glanced over at the mirror out of the corner of her eye. Kiku froze.

Don't move. Maybe she doesn't see him. The Japanese man counted down in his head.

Kumiko looked around the living room as she waited. This was going to be her house as well. This house was going to be their castle after all. Her attention shifted over to the mirror. Kiku tried his best not to move.

"Kumiko?"

The wife looked up. Oh, there he was. Kuro stood in the doorway with an annoyed/worried look on his face.

"What are you doing here?" he asked. Kumiko gave him an angelic look.

"Darling! What are you talking about?" she asked.

"Why are you here? I told you to stay back!" the Japanese man in black hissed. His wife pretended to look innocent.

"I missed you," she said. He gritted his teeth. Kiku watched him yell at her. Kumiko looked angelic. She batted her eyelashes at him. The Japanese man in the mirror felt his stomach turn. She was clearly planning something. Kuro gritted his teeth.

"This is why I didn't want you here," he said. "You are going to ruin everything!"

"Darling!" Kumiko said, pouting.

"Don't you 'darling' me!" Kuro snapped. "I know how you are! Go back home!"

"No," she said. She sounded so calm. There was no tone in her voice. Kumiko kept her eyes on her husband. Kuro stared back at her. The spouses didn't move. Kiku held his breath the other time. There was a war in the house. It could make things worse.

Or he could use this to his advantage.

Kuro

Why did she have to go here?

I had everything going perfectly. I didn't expect her to follow me. Despite this, it doesn't surprise me. She's clingy to me to a fault. It just didn't take too long.

Well, now she's here. Now what?

Where do I begin with my wife? She's loyal to a fault. Yes, I know I said that already. It can't be stressed enough. Some men would kill to have something like that. Me, I can handle it… sometimes.

Don't get me wrong, I love my wife. She's one of the most beautiful women in our world. It's amazing that she chose me. But still…

She's got her own problems, you know?

Can I let you in on a little secret? Kumiko scares me. It's not her personally or how she treats me is the problem. (Well, it's part of it but not the main issue.) It's her powers. They put me in a paradox. They scare me but I need them. First, she needs to feed. Nothing too lewd. Just a kiss will be enough. I don't know how many she's drained to get here. I'm sure they won't be missed either. (Hey, I don't care if that sounds harsh. That's just how it is.) Her powers only work on humans. So me and the other countries will be fine. It's a good thing she doesn't have to do it all the time.

My wife can mentally control anyone she wants. That's how she got into the main palace. It's a good thing that she could only control humans. The rest of the countries fear her because of her powers. What doesn't help is Kumiko is so genteel and proper. You could be forgiven for thinking that she is just sweet and nice. But that's the thing. She knows what she is. And she will use it to her advantage. I have seen her do it.

The biggest problem is I don't know what to do with her. She's here and she won't leave until I leave. This is going to create a headache for me. I have an empire to build out here. She's going to try and take it from me. That's how she is. I would know. I married her!

I'm going to have to humor her for now until I can come up with a more permanent solution. When I say that out loud, I don't have confidence in doing that alone. It looks like I'm going to have to call for back-up with this one.

Kumiko

My husband has done an amazing job in this world. The main house is so nice. He's made plenty of connections. I'm really impressed. I am going to love it up here. However, Kuro has been friendly with some women here. Too friendly.

Those young ladies are going to need someone to show them the way. I already have a little kitten that I can raise. I think my husband's going to love her. Maybe love her too much. I will have to keep an eye on her. But she's so cute. How could I not share her?

I don't know why my hubby is scared of me. I love him so much. Everything I do is because I love him. Surely he must see that. He told me to stay behind but I couldn't do that. My heart couldn't take it. And here I am.

I will help to build his kingdom. I can see us running this country. This kingdom will give rise to the new world. I can feel my little heart beating with joy. I can't wait to get started. My husband needs me after all. He and I make a great team. Together, this kingdom will grow and prosper.

That just leaves one more thing in the way. My counterpart is still out there. I haven't met her yet. Honda Sena. She is cruder than me. She's unladylike and frightening. I don't know how her husband manages to put up with her. I pity him. I might have to show him the love of a good woman. Don't worry. I belong to my husband. I just figured that I could have a few pets at my side. He has his women. It's all a fair trade.

I just need to go and find that other wife…

Kiku

He's seen all that he needs to know. This couple was dangerous. He was taking over his life. She could take control and move wherever she wanted. There wasn't much Kiku could do. He was trapped behind the glass. He looked down at his hands. The Japanese man managed to get Alfred's attention but no one else has come by the house for a visit so far. Sena was away visiting her family. She was due back in a couple of days.

No. She couldn't come back here.

Kiku needed to warn her. Maybe he could reach out to her telepathically. The Japanese man didn't know if he could. He would have to try. Kiku closed his eyes and started talking.

Sena! If you can hear me, don't come home! Please! Just stay where you are! Don't come back to Tokyo!
