Date A Live: Son of Westcott (Original Concept - Archived version)

by Bakuganman

Michael is a young man whom moved to Japan to live with his parents, despite the fact a phenomenon called "Spacial Quakes" are quite frequent there. Join him as his life turns upside down and into a Dating Sim, as he makes beings known as "Spirits" fall in love with him.

34. Chapter 34

Its that time my fellow Chads. Yuzuru's turn for a pleasing night with Michael starts, this concept fic ends, and I'll be deleting all these chapters to make room for the actual story. Now this chapter is actually based on once again, Date A Live Spirit Pledge, with some sprinkles of originality baked in as well. Her chapter called "Sticky like a Cat", if your interested in searching a YouTube video on it for further context (or I could link you through discord if that's easier).

Speaking of which, the game technically is still active in the App Store, you just can't get past its loading screen. It does have a replacement called Spirit Crisis, but it's more of a renaming as it's exactly the same, not to mention you need a VPN to access it outside of Japan and China.

Speaking of, to get this out of the way, the last poll I held was at a tie again, but instead of picking it myself or just wait for a tiebreaker which isn't likely, I decided to drop the poll entirely. So sadly there will be no bonus scenes after this chapter, but this way I can then focus on getting the official story posted instead of waiting even longer and quite frankly, I think you and I are both tired of waiting.

Like always, lets answer some reviews:

From walo888.1880:

This is just me and bear with me here but Im not actually a big fan of the whole readerxcharacter fanfics tbh. I mean what's the whole point of replacing the main character and replace with some random guy that outshines Shido to make it better? Do you hate the main character so much because the guy had more ladies? And replace with this new character and steal the spotlight? You know can always change the whole personality and the story of the main character, Shido, to make it something better. Idk. I'm sorry to say this but Im not interested with this fanfic. I'm just offering some criticism and I hope this message won't ruin your day.

Bakuganman: That's fine your not a fan of reader X character fics, they vary in quality for me personally and can be cringe… but that's where your initial criticism falls apart. This story is not an insert reader or self-insert, whichever you wanna call it, type of fanfic. This is an original character i've created and set in the DAL universe. I would have specified this was an insert fic otherwise.

Your next critique is what I've heard multiple times before: Shido being replaced with "random guy", Saying/asking I hate the character just because I wrote this, stealing; blah blah blah. Heard it all before. I don't dislike Shido, but he's ironically more of a self-insert than Michael. As Shido, like most harem protags, starts off with the typical shy and nice guy attitude. This is how most of Japan is anyway (actually just went there with my cousin. Definitely recommend it as a vacation), especially the boys. Most if not all of them are actually quite shy and/or stoic when meeting new people, or just talking in general.

If you actually read the entire fic, which is ironic because this review was left on chapter 34, you'd know this criticism also fell apart the very second you typed it up. You either did not read the fic in its entirety and made a judgment off of a few chaps, or just skimmed through it all really quickly. Either way, the criticism you provided does not make any sense as again, this is not a self-insert.

In fact, Shido DOES make a cameo appearance here, but I'm not gonna bother telling you which chapters because I can tell you did not even give the story a chance. If I had to make an educated guess where you stopped reading (assuming you did), probably around Kurumi's or Miku's lemon, maybe Tohka's.

Plus, if I changed the personality of Shido to something better like you suggested, then I'd get the same NPC's complaining Shido isn't Shido at that point; so I can't win with "critics" (I use that term loosely) like them because of that reason. If anything, they are the ones that hate Michael for quote: because the guy had more ladies.

Also, you said quote: guy that outshines Shido to make it better? So at least you acknowledge anything is better than Shido before he gained an actual character in his source material.

So no, this review and "criticism" will not ruin my day. Frankly because it's not. It's another person on the internet who, sure may have a different opinion on my story, but can't make a coherent argument other than "ma Shido replacement story", which I've come to terms with is a buzz-term for that section of the DAL fanbase.

If you don't like the story but can't explain why, thats fine too. I have read stories that I can't explain why exactly I dislike them, but don't try to sound smart. You can just say something like "yo, this rubs me the wrong way. Not a fan." Boom. Done. No need for a 300 IQ take on essentially a blog post at the end of the day.

Final point: This is a hobby. And it makes me happy to share my ideas and express my liking of the series in a different way, as well as making over 90 people happy who also seem to enjoy it. And when the full story is finally posted, it'll only increase further. Not my most popular story maybe, but one I'm simply having fun with, and if thats somehow a heinous crime; then so be it.

From abeem0 (chapter 4):

Your fanfic is really good i just wish i had a way to read it in order its really jarring the way it skips around.

Bakuganman: See, walo888.1880? THIS is how you make an actual criticism. Like I've said in the story summary, this was originally just a concept that I would update periodically. But over time I've gotten a better idea of what I want to do. This is still a fair criticism, as it is very weird to be out of order. This will be fixed later on when I revamp everything.

From mrmisterman:

I reread this alot and like a good movie it doesn't get old, I look forward to the official start of this story

Bakuganman: Do you? Interesting, then it must be pretty good. It'll be officially starting soon after this last concept one, so not much longer.

From Twilightiger1602:

…

... Pffffft! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaa!

Jesus-tap-dancing-Christ, that was hilarious! I swear, if people weren't interested in this fic before, they would be after seeing this.

Also, no worries about any IRL stuff. Balancing your livelihood and hobbies is never easy. Trust me, I've been struggling with that for years, so I feel ya. As for the poll... I'm gonna have to go with the battle between Tenka Vs. Michael. I was sorely tempted to go with Miku's Inversion, if only because I was curious to how it would play out, but I figured I'd save that juicy-bit for later.

That and I wanted to see how Tenka and Michael would interact with each-other... my best guess; when they aren't fighting each-other, it'd probably be full of back and forth bickering and sexual tension you'd expect from two people who are, to say the least, More-Than-Friends-But-Less-Than-Lovers lol.

Welp, nothing else to say here. See ya when we see Yuzuru's time in Michael's bedsheets... or if the trailer is anything to go by, in his bathtub, lol. Twilightiger out.

Bakuganman: Glad you liked the trailer, figured I'd post some shits and giggles. Im surprised that was your choice, would have assumed you'd pick the Muku vs Tenka one or the Miku inversion like you were tempted too. I'm not gonna say too much on Mike and Tenka, but there were a few times I hinted not only what happened between them, but also the type of relationship they share.

From guest:

I'm disagreed with Walo and others reviews, they can deny so much they want your Oc ISN'T Shido 2.0.! Your story IS different from all stories where mc remplacing Shido as Wattpad or Trashpad is full of kind of crap.

Wow it's just so bad whatever others people say, your oc doesn't steal Shido spotlight, doesn't steal Shido's harem, he's not Shido!

they must really hating you.

Bakuganman: Like I said above, i've come to the realization that the haters are using buzzwords. I guess your not a fan of Wattpad though, which is funny as I was thinking of cross-platforming there.

From guest:

I'm agreed with Walo and others reviews, you can deny so much you want your Oc IS Shido 2.0.! Your story is NOT different from all stories where mc remplacing Shido as Wattpad or Trashpad is full of kind of crap.

Wow it's just so bad whatever others people say, your oc steal Shido spotlight, steal Shido's harem, he's Shido!

you must really hating him, as Walo suggested, you COULD HAVE IMPROVE Shido, change his personality

instead this pale clone hating him. Shido 2.0 with sex pathetic

same crap than Trashpad.

Deny so much you want, your oc IS ANOTHER SHIDO 2.0!

Retarded fic from a hater. Cringe as fuck. Congrats for writing one trash NTR fic, one of more.

Next time TO IMPROVE THE MC INSTEAD TO REMPLACE HIM!

Bakuganman: Whelp, this proves my point even further.

From guest:

I want to use NovelAi to give Shido back his rightful place/harem and trash your pathetic copy badly because I have no creative talent and need to use AI.

just saying.

My username is Vercingetorix Rex.

Bakuganman: okay.

From fan del anime:

hum autor, creo que tienes una opción para borrar commetaires no dude en utilizarlo

Bakuganman: You misspelled "comments" in Spanish. The correct spelling without using Google Translate is "comentarios". But to fully translate what you meant to say is: "hmm author, I think you have an option to delete comments feel free to use it". Yes I can delete comments, but I'm not Terminally Online like most of the trolls out there, so some comments slip by me.

booteryyy:

Haven't read this yet but as long as different events will happen i think ill be fine preferably id love for it to be shido but I can ignore it normally id never read an oc mc fanfic but this author is a good author in my eyes abd reviews are good

Bakuganman: Well welcome aboard the Waifu Express, Destination: Date A Live Franchise. Thanks for the compliments and hope you enjoy the trip, so sit back, relax, and order some snacks from our maid cafe as you get called Master every 5 seconds.

Twilightiger1602:

Hmm. Small what-if scenario's to hold us over for a while longer... Alright, let's see what we got here;

Miku: Always nice to see her and Michael having a good time, acting like a married couple. I find it both strange yet heartwarming the two of them have that routine down-pat better than Kurumi or Tohka... though I gotta say, the thought of Mikey getting cucked by a Ken-doll is one mental image I won't soon forget. lmao!

Nia: Wait, hold up! That's where Nia got that from!? ... Interesting. Now you have me curious about how she and Michael behave as a couple, though judging from this, I'd say their relationship is more on the casual side of things.

Natsumi: Ahh, poor Natsumi. She just wants to have a steamy moment with Michael, but our boi is having none of it! Like he said, sex really isn't the "End all, be all" in a relationship... especially when said partner looks and act like she should be in junior high at best. Though, much like with Nia, now I'm more curious about how Michael is with Natsumi post-sealing.

... Wait, PEOPLE ACTUALLY THINK HE TRIED TO DO THE VERTICAL TANGO WITH YOSHINO!? Oh man, that poor bastard... I mean Yoshino probably wouldn't mind(knowing how much of a covert pervert she is), but still!

Tohka: Definitely takes place during Natsumi's little game, though it's still rather nice to see just how close she and Mikey are, even in spite of the more trying times. The fact that they had a brief fight and made-up (and made-out, lol) just as quickly only shows just how more believable their relationship is... adding that little bit with the buffet was pretty cute too. Mission Accomplished, Double-O Michael.

Tenka: And now we come to the big event; a segment of Michael's three-way with Mukuro and Tenka... wait-

Anyways, while it is relatively close to how it was in canon, seeing Michael's own spin on these events, along with the addition of Mayuri (how did she resist the Angel Michael's ability?) more than made up for it. Seeing him actively struggle to keep his composure when dealing with both Tenka and Mukuro antics, right after the latter sealed everyones memories of him thus leaving him almost completely alone... I honestly didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

On the one hand, it's the usual harem-shtick we're all familiar with, just with a more lively and snarky protagonist at the helm. On the other hand, given the current situation, I imagine he's under a metric crapton of pressure and stress, with Tenka's unprovoked antagonism definitely not helping.

Which make it all the more understandable when Mikey inevitably goes full-medieval on Tenka and reads her the riot act after one insult too many. Some people may find issue with this, but again, given the circumstance, he'd be forgiven for forgoing chilvary in this case, especially after Tenka made that rather dickish remark at Mukuro when she was having an episode (Likely remembering her sister, Asahi).

On top of that, I just found that last bit of the scene interesting, not just because we got a good look at how Michael acts when he puts his foot down, but also showcasing that while it should definitely not be used as the end-all be-all for any given situation, nor done so recklessly, using a bit of force is indeed necessary when trying to deescalate and get someone to settle down. Use too little, and it would have no effect. Use too much and it will likely backfire and make this worse. In this instance, Tenka has likely been nothing but nasty to both Michael and Mukuro even before the date started proper, so Michael was well within his right to get in her face and bluntly tell her to cut the crap or he will reseal her.

Sidenote; full-props to Michael for being nice to the waitress and giving her both a tip for putting up with both of his dates antics. God knows most restaurant staff don't get paid enough to deal with half the crap they do, much less this. Also, casually complementing the girl for rocking the maid uniform... Smooooooth~

Twilightiger1602 (guest review):

Also, forgot to add to the proper review (Thus I'm posting logged off), but to the guests down below, if you really feel the need to trash on someone else's work this badly, even when they have done nothing to you, I only have two words of advice:

Seek. Help.

Bakuganman: I actually don't have much to say about this review since a good chunk of the chapter isn't canon at all for my story. But yeah, if it wasn't obvious, he and Tenka aren't gonna have a good relationship as Tohka will Inverse quite a number of times as opposed to only a handful like canon. Damn shame the official author didn't expand on Inverses a bit more, as there is a few things he could have experimented with it. Not a lot, but some more. Like how would it cause Origami to spilt in two halves (unless I'm missing something)? I get how it works with Tohka, but Origami's makes less sense to me.

Guest:

I don't see why NPCs are calling this a self-insert. Even if it is, Michael is written to be a genuine character that has his own motivations that also changes the events of the story. I wouldn't be surprised if the people that Twilighttiger called out are Brandon Biden voters. Only they are that stupid and brainwashed enough to not see Michael isn't just a random oc out of nowhere.

Keep doing what you're doing, Bakuganman (odd name but not the weirdest out there. Lol.)

Bakuganman: I humbly accept the small roast, as my name is an odd one. There is a backstory behind it, but It'll take too long to share here. Lol.

Guest:

First of all. Im not a big fan of the OCxcharacter fanfics because I just dont see the point of the whole idea where the main character was replaced by a random OC for no reason. I mean it maybe just a fanfic but I just kinda find this concept lazy.

However, as I read this more and more, I'm liking this Michael as a character more. Shido's a bit too generic but still enjoyable. You have a potential as a writer to turn the main character into something else and you succeeded. Good Job.

Bakuganman: that's fine. You have your opinion, but thanks for giving this a fair shot.

Lildeevil:

I was rereading this when I saw on chapter 31 there was a character named Freya. Is she an OC or an actual character?

Bakuganman: In a way, her being an OC or an official character is yes and no. She is an actual character in the series yet only in the now-defunct mobile game "Date A Live Spirit Pledge", but she was never given speaking lines or a personality, so that part of her was made up by me, making it half-OC. I have a whole archive I'm still uploading to YouTube, but if you have discord or something, I'll be happy to send you her picture. (This goes for anyone else who is interested)

Yuzuru Lemon:

Yuzuru awoke with a start, so much so that she nearly fell off the bed… it happened again, that very same weird yet oddly stimulating dream she kept having for the past few days.

It all started that one night she kept having these visions… er, maybe that wasn't the best way describe them. More like they were flashes before her eyes that only lasted a few seconds or longer but never more than 10 seconds. Anyway, there was one night she was just laying down in her bedroom minding her own business. Kaguya was out that night, having asked Michael out on a date.

Kaguya did return, but she then left for Mayuri's room (aka the "birdcage"), but then maybe an hour or so later (why it was taking her sister so long, she had no idea) she began to feel this feeling of warmth in her body. This feeling didn't go away, in fact it seemed to amplify slowly but surely. During its amplification, very brief images of Kaguya kissing Michael popped in her head, then others of Michael touching her in various ways with a massage being the most notable thing… and that's when she began to feel pleasure shoot throughout her entire body.

She had more visions of Kaguya and Michael doing… more. Kissing not on the lips, but Yuzuru could feel it on her own neck. She even felt a sensation on her legs and waist as if someone was picking her up by them. Then for some strange reason, Michael was standing up, but Yuzuru could only see what was behind him.

The entire time she'd feel waves of pleasure wash over her, making her body moan on its own and even her back was bending backward a bit. It did eventually stop, along with the visions, which on one hand Yuzuru was glad the unexplainable feeling was gone… but also slightly disappointed.

It was really bizarre, but those visions appeared to be in Kaguya's perspective.

But even though it never happened again, Yuzuru's brain wouldn't turn it off. She kept seeing these same images and visions replay over and over again every night since, with her subconscious filling in the blanks to make a near-movie on the subject… maybe Michael was right, hanging with Origami was making her a bit more perverted.

That's not to say she never had those thoughts, like the one time she accidentally brought him to that hotel…

Yuzuru then grabbed her head with both hands and started shaking it violently back-and-forth, literally trying to shake these images and thoughts out of her head. She couldn't go on like this! What if this expanded to daydreams next?! That would be so embarrassing!

Why was this keeping up though, why didn't these weird dreams go away?… Maybe she was sick?

Yuzuru first looked over at Kaguya in the opposite bed next to her, nearly having the same images flood back into her brain, but stayed focused. Her second half was still asleep even though there was daylight bleeding in from the windows… she can be so much like Tohka sometimes.

Deciding not to wake her, she quietly got dressed and ready for the day, looking over at Kaguya at regular intervals to make sure she wasn't waking up. For some reason, she felt it was best Kaguya didn't see her right now. Once she was ready, she approached the door, looked at the peacefully sleeping Kaguya once more, smiled at her, and then left the room while making sure the door shut as quietly as possible.

XXX

Reine was just having coffee, again with a massive amount of sugar, but unexpectedly her cell phone began to ring. She obviously didn't expect it as she looked surprised it rang so early. So much for her day off…

That's not all… the caller ID wasn't Kotori's…

"Hello?" Reine asked the caller, of course she knew who called due to the caller ID, but of course still needed verbal confirmation.

"Greeting. Good Morning." Said the caller, and of course only one person Reine knows talks like that. "Question. I know its early, but; can I ask a favor?"

"What is it, Yuzuru?" Reine asked the Spirit. Call it a hunch or maybe it was the way Yuzuru's tone sounded almost like when she begged Origami for help during Judgement week, but Reine sensed something was bothering her. As for what it was, she had no idea, and needed more info.

"Reply. I feel… I feel…" Yuzuru began to say, but then once again 'certain images' began flooding her minds eye as she was asking her request and had to pause to regain her composure. She even shook her head vigorously which also applied to the phone she held at her ear. "I… I feel funny."

Reine took her statement with the upmost concern. "Are you sick?"

Yuzuru nodded despite the fact Reine couldn't actually see her do it. "Confirm. I think so." She said. "Request. Can you examine me?"

XXX

Reine had examined Yuzuru as she requested up in Fraxinus' med bay, like she has done to many of the Spirits and sometimes Michael before. This included the standard normal parts of an examination (checking inside her ears, down her throat, heartbeat, etc.) to the more Spirit-exclusive parts such as her energy levels.

Reine was just finishing up the exam while Yuzuru just sat on the bed in only her white underwear and a matching white bra (as she had to take her clothes off at one point, just never put them back on). Reine was going over the tests' numbers on a tablet while Yuzuru sat there, a little nervous as Reine still hadn't said much.

"… Question," Yuzuru began to ask, not able to take anymore silence. "Is anything wrong?"

Reine was still focusing on the numbers, but she did hear Yuzuru's inquiry. After a few more seconds of double and even triple checking just to be sure, she finally addressed the Spirit of Wind. "… Nothing. Your fine."

Yuzuru just stared at Reine for her answer, unable to believe it. "… Nothing?" She repeated, not even doing what she normally does and saying a term first before her actual thoughts. "Are you sure?"

Reine referred back to her notes as she answered. "I checked your blood, heart, vitals, even your Reiryoku levels. There's absolutely nothing wrong with your body." She said. Reine checked literally everything that was considered medical. She even included her digestive track, which probably had nothing to do with anything, but did so only to be as thorough as possible.

Stress was a little elevated, but that could be attributed to Yuruzu's overall concern for her own health. Other than that, she was over 100% perfect. Nothing was medically wrong with her.

"Oh…" Yuzuru said, then looked down at the floor. "… Apology. Sorry for wasting your time." She added, feeling a bit guilty for as she put it, wasting Reine's time on herself when there was nothing wrong with her at all.

"Its fine. This is just part of the job." Reine said, then added a small smile. "You'd be surprised how many times Tohka came to me." Yuzuru couldn't help but form a small smile of her own, already thinking how the airhead of their group might have acted. Now that she thought about it, there was that one time, at least she heard from Kotori, about when Tohka misinterpreted Michael explaining what a picture booth was.

To his credit, he never asked for one, he just explained what the machine did due to Tohka's child-like curious nature at the time.

Reine literally just closed to tablet, and was just about to leave to give Yuzuru some privacy to put her clothes back on…

"… Confession." Yuzuru began, which stopped Reine, but its the second part of Yuzuru's statement after a small pause that shocked Reine a bit. "… I've been seeing things." The Yamai sister admitted, not having lifted her head up either.

Reine continued to look at Yuzuru… seeing things? That sounded a little if not more concerning than just something medical. Mental was just as important, especially being a Spirit. "What kind of things?" Reine asked.

Yuzuru did seem willing to speak, but then cutely grumbled and glanced away, as that was a little too embarrassing for her. Just thinking of a response was mortifying in itself. Of course as Reine didn't know the context and could only judge Yuzuru's predicament by her actions, she could only assume she was uncomfortable sharing, but she couldn't make a diagnosis otherwise.

"Yuzuru. Unless you tell me what's going on, even our vast level of technology can't help you." Reine said, trying to reassure the Spirit.

Yuzuru did still look conflicted on it, but eventually came around and looked back to Reine. "… Correction. I've been having dreams."

"What kind of dreams?" Reine asked. "Bad? Good? Odd? Wet? Nightmares?"

The fact that wet was in one of her questions did make Yuzuru flinch very slightly that it was barely noticeable unless you were really focusing on her. Deciding to ignore that, Yuzuru answered immediately with an affirmative: "N-Negative!" She then waited a few more seconds to calm herself down before answering. "They've just been… strange."

"Strange how?"

Yuzuru's face began to flush a bit, as the visions she once saw returned to her mind's eye due to the subject matter of the conversation. "R… Reply… they don't make any sense."

Reine could tell on one hand, Yuzuru wanted help; but could also tell she was still holding back vital information in the other. "How so? Care to elaborate?" Reine asked her.

Yuzuru waited some time again before responding. "… … Clarification… I'd see… I'd see…" she still tried to get out the words, but they were caught inside of her throat. UUUUUUGH! This was so embarrassing (meanwhile Reine just calmly watched her)! "… S-See… Kaguya… … doing things…"

Reine slightly cocked an eyebrow… was that it? Then her reactions seemed very odd if that was the case. Before she could press Yuzuru again, the Spirit continued after a moment to recover.

"A… And Michael…" She stopped herself again, but this is where Reine really took interest from the mention of Michael's name. What exactly did he have to do with this? "… also doing… tttthings…"

Reine could tell whatever she saw must have shocked her, which for a Spirit can impact them very negatively for their mental state. "What kind of things?" Reine needed ask, as she needed that information.

Yuzuru's face was pretty much as red as a stop sign, going as far as to cover her face with both hands and moaning in her hands, but she pulled through and forced herself to finally admit what she saw in her mind for days after the fact: "I-KEEP-SEEING-THEM-SLEEP-TOGETHER!" She finally and quickly blurted out, then went back to covering her face with both hands and moaning in her hands, at a bit higher volume this time.

Of all the things Reine could have prepared herself for... that was the only one she didn't. For once which was extremely rare, she couldn't think of a response, and had a shocked expression on her face as well which was just as rare. Now as for why Yuzuru was seeing that, that was a bit difficult to answer. Could be teen jealousy, but that didn't apply much to the sisters as they pretty much shared a brain, just took and did things ever so slightly differently. If one twin was shy, the other was more than happy; though sometimes they'd also share the same emotion.

It could also be Yuzuru's love for him manifesting in a different way, her body trying to tell her she wants a little more, but then why would she be seeing Kaguya instead of herself?

"I see." Reine said, shaking off her shock and going back to professionalism. "When exactly did this all start?"

Yuzuru slowly removed her hands from her face. "Reply... a few days ago. Kaguya said she was going to drop off some stuff to Mayuri's room." She explained.

"I see, so when she came bac-..." Reine began to hypothesize.

"Negative." Yuzuru immediately cut her off. "Kaguya didn't come back at all. I didn't see her until breakfast the following day. During her absence is when these..." Yuzuru explained further, then her face slightly reddens again but shook it off. "Dreams started... statement, I was in the middle of watching a movie when my heart began to beat faster. I turned off the movie by that point but the moment after, I felt my..." her face reddened again, and she waited a few seconds before continuing. "M-My boobs... they felt like they were being squeezed by something..."

Reine cocked an eyebrow, but continued to listen.

"... a-at the same time, I saw Kaguya's and Michael's hands all over each other, but it was like I was Kaguya and I could see through her eyes..." Yuzuru forced herself to continue. "This continued on for a good portion of the night. It would go away for a moment, but then these same visions would come back and I'd also see her and Michael do all sorts of... things together. Conclusion, it finally ended when Kaguya and him..." Yuzuru's face got the maximum red again, a cute eep coming out of her, but still forced herself to say it. "... when Kaguya and him... had... sssssssssssssex."

Yuzuru did leave a few things out, like she saw and felt Kaguya touch Michael's... private, it keep it PG, and play with it and then kiss him deeply before she felt warm liquid on her fingers... again, these were just dreams she was having, but she could feel the actions of those dreams as if she was Kaguya during that instance. She figured just admitting she dreamt they had sex was good enough.

Reine took all of this in... this was certainly yet another thing Fraxinus has never experienced with Spirits before, and leave it for Michael's name to come up involving it yet again. The question still was, why? The days of the sisters being jealous of one another, while once in a while they'd try to outdo each other, were long gone. Additionally, Yuzuru said she FELT, not imagined, her body being touched.

Hmm... could it be related too...?

"Yuzuru, perhaps you should take a few days off. No school or anything to involves stress. Just relax for a while." Reine said.

"Question. Is there something wrong with me then?" Yuzuru asked.

"I'll go over the medical data again just to be sure, but aside from all that, do you feel anything wrong with your body? Anything at all?" Reine said, then asked a question that was cleverly disguised to also confirm her suspicions.

Yuzuru did think about it for a moment, trying not to think too hard about what she saw and make her face red again. But she did remember that when these visions happened, she'd feel an odd sensation. "Reply. There was... in my chest..." Yuzuru said, Reine paying close attention. "When the visions first started, I felt this warmth in my heart... though, it wasn't exactly my heart. More like, it was in that same location..." She added.

Reine nodded once... this somewhat confirmed it. "I see. Thank you for telling me, Yuzuru. This will make the diagnosis easier. But other than that, nothing else is wrong with your body?"

Yuzuru shook her head. "Negative. I feel normal otherwise."

Reine gave the teen a warm smile. "Well then, try not to worry about it too much. For now, just take it easy. I'll also make a doctors note for school on your behalf." She said. "Now get dressed and run along back home. Try to relax."

Yuzuru smiled and nodded. While this visit didn't answer all her questions, it at least put her mind at ease being able to talk to someone about it. Doing as she was told, she got all her clothes and quickly redressed, before thanking Reine. "Gratitude. Thank you, Reine." She said, then left the specialist alone in the room...

Once she was gone Reine looked over something on the monitor, wanting to confirm something that's been really odd in the Spirits' data lately. If Yuzuru's account was any indication... She pulled up the records of the Spirits' current data, including Yuzuru's. She then looked back a week or so ago... and there is when she noticed a pattern:

First was Tohka. Prior to a week or so ago, she was normal. But some time after that, her levels elevated. Then they went to maximum which only Origami had achieved (which wasn't too shocking as she was Mike's Ex), but during a particular day Tohka's happiness peaked, then went back down before only a few hours later they went to a level that meter wasn't made for. Basically above 100% happiness, and it only continued to increase. Additionally, her full Spirit Powers were restored, but only for a moment as by the next morning, they were back to normal levels.

That was actually the night Tohka had that stomachache and didn't come out to eat, which was far out of reach of her initial character.

Next was Kurumi, who had nightmares and her shadow arms went crazy. That same day, her happiness also peaked, but not till the night she and Michael came back from their date. Then it continued to increase beyond the meter just like Tohka's, then her full power returned for a short time before the next day it was fine.

Afterward's was Miku, who also had some dreams but they were mainly memories of her past with Michael. They also sang together at an Italian restaurant and went shopping some more before once again, her happiness maxed out and her power also fully returned before it was sealed again.

Now was Kaguya... the same thing as above. She'd be with Michael, something would max out her happiness, then her powers would return to her before they were sealed back... but the only way this would all be possible is if Michael was still in direct contact with the Spirits in question.

It finally hit Reine. It wasn't Yuzuru's heart that reacted to the visions... it was her sephira crystal. More accurately, the crystal was the cause. Because Yuzuru and Kaguya were once the same Spirit and they spilt apart, the 2 halves of their crystal spilt amongst themselves. Since Michael was most likely still in contact with Kaguya at the time, Yuzuru must have indirectly also felt the same connection since the sisters shared the same power. Of course, this still didn't explain why their happiness went beyond the meters limits... but Reine had a theory on that just now.

To be honest, she had been thinking if her original hypothesis about Michael's power being able to nullify internal barriers the girls had was accurate or completely outlandish. But if Yuzuru's visions were to be taken with an entire box of salt, and this data confirmed it to a degree, it would appear either Yuzuru was starting to have perverted thoughts about the opposite sex and just imagined Kaguya in her place (both of which were normal for a girl her age)... or Michael had been testing out a "hypothesis" of his own with a select few.

Michael was currently out with his friend Hiroto and his newly closer acquaintances Ai, Mai, Mii. Ever since the whole "spot the difference" game with a Witch Spirit, the 5 of them, especially the girl trio, have been hanging out together more frequently outside of school instead of only interacting during campus hours. For the normal humans that were originally out of the loop to even learn about Spirits that way was freaky at first, but... they didn't know, hearing Michael make some lite of it calmed their nerves.

Of course to also confirm Tohka, a close fiend of the trio was also a Spirit, also confirming she was in fact who they saw on the news when Mayuri's Angel went berserk, did take a while to sink in after they convinced themselves they were only seeing things; but it did also confirm they were not crazy. Who'd have thunk such an adorably innocent cute girl like Tohka would be a raw powerhouse? But at least now it made sense why Michael asked the trio out on their own separate dates, not only to figure out whom Natsumi was cosplaying as, but also because he genuinely wanted to protect them.

They were at a small diner, ironically the same one Michael for their dates during Natsumi's game, the girls and boys of the group on opposite table ends.

"I swear, my math teacher is either out to get me, or isn't qualified for the job." Said Ai, engaging in conversation.

"I've experienced the same thing with science. One of my classmates nearly caused an explosion from mixing the wrong chemicals." Said Mai.

"It was so lame!" Mii said, agreeing with Mai.

"Least you guys don't deal with those every week..." Michael said, then taking a sip of his drink, referring to his experience with various explosions. The girls were mainly sharing gossip, which Michael honestly didn't mind whether living with 10 girls or not... it's what Hiroto said after...

"You act like your life's the worst thing in the world, Mike." He began. "Your have incredible Dragonball-like superpowers, fly over the city in a spaceship, and you live with 10 dream girls that don't wanna be around anybody else but you." He took a longer sip of his own drink after, completely oblivious to how Michael took his statement. When he did finish, he saw the female trio look at him questioning as if he said something wrong, but it's actually when he saw Michael out of the corner of his eye slowly turn his head to look in his direction, looking at him as if he just said the most stupidest thing on the planet.

...

...

"... EXACTLY!" Michael shouted at him, his voice cracking on his response. He then buried his head in his hands. "What I would give to be normal again..." he added, somewhat muffled due to his hands in his face.

"Actually, I think I agree with Hiroto to a small extent." Said Mai, surprising her 2 friends next to her. "Sure, you deal with insane stuff, but would you really give up your superpowers? Aren't they yours after hanging out with them for so long?" She added, not understanding exactly how these abilities worked and assumed it was a mutation or transference like spreading a disease.

"That's not the way it works..." Michael said, understanding the confusion given the fact he never actually explained how he got the powers, just what Spirits actually were once they say a loli Natsumi poof herself into an adult body and being captured by her. He removed his hand to speak clearly. "It's more of sharing the powers between ourselves. I'm still human, but I can zing and zap shit now since it's inside my body, though they can still call upon the same energy." He explained (and the confused faces the girls gave were honestly cute). "... yeah, it's confusing, but that's my best explanation."

There was a moment of 2 of silence.

"... so, your a storage system then?" Aii asked.

"More or less." Mike said with a shrug. Then after a second moment of silence, he spoke again. "... If I'm being honest, while it's great to kick ass in the sky, I like this."

"like what?" Asked Hiroto.

"This." Michael emphasized, gesturing to the table with both hands. "Sitting around after a school day, grabbing a snack with normal people, not worrying about when a new Spirit and/or Space Quake goes off... it's nice." That comment really touched the normal humans at the table, that Michael appreciated their company was really sweet. "Plus you 3 don't glare at me with hatred and disgust anymore, which is great." He pointed to the trio, whom all slightly flinched from being called out.

"W-W-We didn't hate you!" Aii denied.

"Y-Yeah. We just... misinterpreted you. That's all." Mai made an excuse.

"We were really lame." Mii also denied.

Michael just smiled, appreciating how far everything had come. While they could deny it all they wanted, the trio never had the best opinion about of him the more girls he had acquired to his party, which Tohka was a part of so they were concerned she was putting her feelings on someone bad for her. From anyone on the outside looking in, he could get that. And Natsumi's trick may have been the last straw if the truth was never revealed at that same time. Likewise, the girls did feel guilty they thought the worst of him for the longest time until that context was revealed.

The fact he even trusted them with such a secret... it really changed their opinion about him. He was still a somewhat rough-around-the-edges guy and was rather too honest on what he thought, but he was genuinely a good person that went out of his way for other people.

As Michael was taking a bite of his food...

Aii: I mean, sure I was concerned about Tohka, but she's always happy around you. She's been practically glowing.

Michael swallowed way too much of his food and way too quickly upon hearing "Tohka" and "glowing" in the same sentence (and what it implied), so after his huge gulp, he began to have a massive coughing fit. He quickly grabbed his drink, making somewhat of a mess but not too large, and started drinking quickly to wash it down before smashing the cup down slightly harder than needed to be. As you'd imagine, the other 4 were concerned, but he waved his hand.

"*cough, ahem!*... I'm okay... wrong pipe..." He said, attempting to brush this off. Aside front that, the hangout session continued as normal until they had to part ways, going home to be doing homework or whatnot.

When Michael did get home, he was surprised to see Yuzuru walking around the house. She and Kaguya had clubs after school, so why was she home so early?

"Yuzuru?"

She did slightly jump at the call of her name, then turned to see it was Michael who called her. She did smile at him, and she even felt something pump in her chest a few times, but was still happy to see him. She did also have a mental image of his making out with Kaguya again, her mind still refusing to let that go, which made her flush red some more.

"G-Greeting. Hello Michael." Yuzuru said, trying to sound normal, but Michael cocked an eyebrow, immediately knowing something was wrong.

"You okay? Why aren't you in that club with Kaguya?" Michael asked, walking over to her.

"Um..." Yuzuru was left speechless again, not prepared for that question. She also fumbled and stuttered a few times, trying to think up an excuse that would sound believable enough for Michael to buy into. "I, uh... S-supply!" She said, coming up with something she hopped would work. "I left early to fetch supplies in the storage room, but then left early cause I was feeling tired."

She couldn't tell if Michael fully bought her story, but he didn't question her about it. However, he did take a good look at her, which did make Yuzuru a tiny bit nervous, afraid he saw through her act; but he then put a hand on her forehead, and also gently grabbed one of her wrists.

"You sure your okay? Your a bit red and you do feel a little warm." He said, checking her head temperature and her pulse in her wrist. Ever since he took a few pointers from Reine when it came to basic first aid, he would sometimes check the girls himself before calling Fraxinus or anyone associated with them, in case it was something simple and not needing to waste their time. He mostly did it to Yoshino and Natsumi, being the littler kids of the group, but once in a while he'd do it to the older section of the harem.

Yuzuru felt her heart race faster by this, and the images of him and Kaguya together still in her mind wasn't helping.

"A... Assure... I'm fine..." Yuzuru said.

Michael stopped touching her forehead, but did swift his hand from her wrist to her fingers where he held them, which made Yuzuru's eyes widen and she felt her heart pounding inside her rib cage. When she looked up at Michael, she then saw he was frowning.

"Yuzy... I know..."

She flinched. He knew?! Knew what?! Oh lord, did he figure out she was having these dreams?! Before she could even reply, even though her mouth hung open, Michael continued.

"Ya don't think I've noticed you avoiding eye contact with Kaguya sometimes? Did something happen between you 2 again?" He asked, concerned the twins may have started another argument.

"Negative!" Yuzuru immediately blurted out. "Me and Kaguya couldn't be happier!"

"Then what is it?!" Michael said, wanting to know what was going on. He squeezed her hand more as a form of not only affection, but comfort, letting the Wind Twin know he was here for her. "Yuzuru. Talk to me. Tell me what's bothering you." He added, lowering his voice and calming himself down, trying a different approach.

Yuzuru was very conflicted, torn between wanting to be honest with the boy she loves and how weird it was to actually tell him... could she really tell him what's going on? 'Hey Michael, I just had the craziest dream you and my sister screwing the hell out of each other, isn't that funny?'

...

...

No way. Too embarrassing. She'd die. Oddly enough before she could say anything, Michael looked shocked. "Oh... she told you, didn't she?"

Yuzuru blinked, still on edge but now adding confusion on top of that. "... Nani?"

Michael then sighed. "Guess it couldn't have been a secret forever..." Yuzuru's head was now spinning... a secret?! What was he about to tell her?! What happened between him and Kaguya? Could those dreams be... nah! No way! They couldn't have been real. That was crazy! "I didn't want to leave, but back then, I felt I had no choice."

Yuzuru blinked again, this time twice; no longer on edge... just flat out confused.

"Look, I was in a bad place at the time, then Mayuri flew in, and I was going through allot; having these new powers and worrying about you girls if I stayed since trouble follows me like a damn multiverse protag... long story short, I knew I had to stay, because I knew I had to keep people safe... that includes you." Michael said, giving her the abridged version of what he told Kaguya when she found out the truth from Mayuri.

Yuzuru's chest began to warm up when he mentioned wanting to protect others which included herself... but what exactly was he talking about? And he was gonna leave?! Why didn't he tell her?!... Of course, he said it was ancient past now, so maybe it didn't exactly matter anymore... and Kaguya knew about this and not her?

"Um... A... A-Affirmative..." Yuzuru lied. "I... I was a little upset, but I'm glad you told me." Did she feel bad lying?... Yes, but it beat the alternative. This was her best way out of this conversation. She'll ask Kaguya what exactly he was talking about later. Or maybe Mayuri... maybe both of them, just so she could get the full picture.

"Tell you what; I'll make it up to you. What do you want?" Michael offered, feeling guilty enough already from the old news of his past thoughts starting to spread (unbeknownst to him which was his own misinterpretation).

"Reply. What I want?" Yuzuru asked, wondering what he meant.

"If it's in my power and grounded in reality, then I'll see to it. Whatever you want." Michael repeated more clearly. Yuzuru thought about this for a moment, thinking what she wanted Michael to do for her. There were a few things, but one thing did come to mind...

XXX

Walking down the street the next day, Michael approached the location of yet another date... he should have probably guessed this, but it would make Yuzuru happy so he went through with it. Besides, it's not like she was gonna bring him to a love hotel by accident this time, so this date might end up being very enjoyable.

Still... he felt this pang of guilt ever since he started "spending nights" with a few of the Spirits. Granted he did love them all and they all loved him, so it was totally mutual... the problem was, he wasn't being forward with it, and it made him look very hypocritical with the amount of times he denied he had a harem.

He knew for a fact if it didn't come from him, Tohka would probably be devastated as she was the first one he was with. Kurumi could be wild and highly flirtatious, sure; but that was just their dynamic. He knew she genuinely loved him and while she did find out about his night with Miku when Kaguya asked him out recently, he had the feeling Kurumi did few a teensy bit betrayed even if she didn't let it bother her.

Speaking of which, then there was Kaguya and Miku. Both instances just happened out of varying degrees of circumstances; and because of how emotional those 2 could be, while Miku would probably find it hot (and may support it), Kaguya might feel disgusted since he was her and Yuzuru's "property". And as far as he knew (reminder: misinterpreting Yuzuru's reaction), he was in a very tough situation right now, and here he was going out with yet another girl. But if he could just control his bodies desires, then this newest date would be quick and easy, not to mention clean.

Also... they were meeting at the Cat Cafe Origami worked at...

'If Agent Oreo does ANYTHING to mess this up...' Michael thought to himself. To be fair, Origami has gotten better with her tendencies to not inadvertently make things worse for him when in public and/or with the other Spirits, but he still wouldn't put anything past her to do so, accidental or otherwise. Regardless, he made his way down the shopping street to the Cafe they agreed to met at.

The door went "ding" 3 times in a row, signaling that a new customer had arrived. It was a small cafe, having only 10 tables but had a decent sized play area for the cats in the back like those play houses for cats, several toys, and those scratching things they use (yes, Michael could care less what they were actually called, being a self-proclaimed dog person). However, only about half of the tables were utilized for customers currently, so he arrived at a not busy hour. This might actually turn out for the better as Yuzuru and him wouldn't have to wait long for to be served.

Of the few people that did look up due to the ding-ding-dinging of the doorbell, the person he was actually here to met looked up and upon noticing him, smiled. Yuzuru was waiting by a window seat, the suns rays giving her hair a nice glow. She was also wearing the exact same outfit she wore when she did her "Twisting" stuff when Mayuri was born, and was also wearing the cheap yet-very-important-to-her heart pendant she wanted him to buy her back then.

It still really suited her, still looking as cute and fashionable as before.

"Delight. Your here." Yuzuru said in her normal manner as Michael took the seat across from her.

"Did you think I'd miss is an opportunity?" Michael said, which made Yuzuru flush a little and smile a bit more from the humous yet genuine flirt. "Sorry I am a bit late though. Had to visit Mayuri in the birdcage for a minute, but then Natsumi and Yoshino needed help with the TV." He then apologized.

"Forgiveness. It's okay. I just got here a moment ago myself." Yuzuru said. "I just ordered 2 waters for now, in case you showed up."

"Oh, thanks. That was sweet of you." Michael said, appreciating the gesture, and Yuzuru smiled a bit more from the praise.

"Waters' for two." Said the waitress when she came over, putting both cups of water on the table.

"Thank Y-... Gami?!" Michael shouldn't have been too surprised, but the stars must have aligned because he and Yuzuru literally had Origami as their waitress. She was also wearing a maid outfit, complete with an apron in the front and a white collar around her neck. She was also wearing white cat ears, looking very similar to this one catgirl Michael had seen in this one anime about catgirls employed at a bakery or something, only Origami's hair was too short to do said character's long twin tails. "What are you doing here?!"

"I work here." Origami said in a simple tone.

"You know what I mean." Michael dryly accused.

"This is my section for the day. Not my fault." Origami said simply again. "I harbor no foul intentions. Promise."

"Then why are you wearing that?!" Michael accused again, pointing at her outfit in question.

Origami looked at him like the answer was the most obvious answer in the world. "... it's Special Service Sunday. All employees dress up as cat maids for the day." She said, pointing out to the rest of the staff scattered throughout the shop, which sure enough all the female staff members were dressed up in maid outfit of similar type to Origami's of course with different body types, as well as different breeds of cat ears. Even a tail to match the ears of the breed the girls had chosen.

'Plenty of furries would love it here...' Michael thought to himself as he looked around. What he didn't notice was Origami slowly realizing something, and slowly smiling a small smile.

"Why... you like what you see?..." Origami said, teasingly.

Michael immediately flinched and turned back from the accusation. "Di-...! N-NO! I like dogs!" He adamantly denied. Even Yuzuru found his reaction funny, as it was no secret Kurumi took him on a catgirl date once or twice. The bustier Wind Spirit couldn't help but giggle. "And you go chain yourself!" He snapped at Yuruzu.

"I'll get you both 2 parfaits. My discount included." Origami said, writing down the order for the kitchen on her little notepad, which also had cat ears on it matching the white ones she was wearing. She also kindly included her employee discount.

"Thanks... I guess." Michael said, calming himself down a bit. "Can I add the charcuterie board and the frozen hot chocolate?" He added, adding to the order when taking an peek at the menu.

Origami's smile widened a little, clearly up to something, then put her notepad into her aprons front pocket before staring at Michael, holding up a fist, then flicking it forward. "Nya Master."

...

Michael just sat there and stared at Origami, unamused at her joke, and also glanced at his water, imagining himself threatening to pour it in her for being a 'bad kitty'. He ultimately decided to just take it, looking back to Origami and handing back the menu quickly with a flicking motion. Origami took back his menu along with Yuzuru's with a victorious smile, which made Yuzuru giggle a bit more. Origami then walked away to get there food.

Michael: ... I hate cats.

XXX

Aside from Origami roasting him when they first showed up, the date last week was pretty good all things considered. Yuzuru had a good time, they talked and had snacks together, and it was less expensive than it probably was thanks to that handy dandy employee discount. Michael was just getting back from school and when he was heading to his room, he heard sounds of a struggle in the room he was passing.

"Rrrrrrffffh! Grrrrr! Herrrrrrrr!" Was the sounds he heard coming from Yuzuru's and Kaguya's room. What was going on in there? Were they wrestling or something? Just in case they were in the middle of getting changed or something (lord knows how many times that happened already to him in both ways), he did knock. The struggling sounds only continued as if they didn't know he was there.

He could use Kurumi's shadow ability to peek, but that would probably make it worse if they were in fact changing.

"Girls? I'm gonna come in... slowly." He said, yet the moaning and groaning continued. Jeez, they were really going at it, them not registering his presence at all. When he did open the door... "Guys? What are yo-...?" He was gonna ask why they were fighting, but he froze at the sight... and Kaguya wasn't there.

What Mike saw was Yuzuru in the exact same catgirl maid outfit Origami wore last week, which Yuzuru was trying to put on. The only difference was, she didn't have the cat ears and tail. Thankfully Yuzuru's back was not facing him, so there was no panty-shot, but what he did see was how... "small", the outfit was on her, to keep as PG as possible. Both teens, upon realizing what one walked in on, just stared at the other person dumbfounded.

...

...

...

"... Greeting." Was all Michael could get out, sounding kind of how Yuzuru would.

"... Y... Yes... G... Greeting, Michael." Was Yuzuru's response.

"SSSSSSSSShould I ask why?" Mike asked.

"Ex... Explain... I am a substitute maid today... for Special Service Sunday..." Yuzuru said. "Master Origami asked me to fill in for her today."

"Your definitely filling in alright." Michael said, actually wanting that be in his head but it came out from his mouth instead. Yuzuru however, seemed to either ignore the statement or just didn't register it. "Just... repurpose it with Spirit Power."

"Reply... already tried... don't have enough..." Yuzuru said, getting more embarrassed by the nature of the conversation.

"Course not..." Again, that was meant to be to himself, but Michael's mouth moved before his brain. He then began to walk over to her.

"M... Michael?" She asked, but then he kissed her on her lips with closed eyes, which made her eyes go wide, but that's also when she felt her lips and body tingle with energy... that's what he was doing. He was transferring some extra Spirit Power to her, feeling it course all inside her veins. When he felt she had enough, he gently pulled away, the girl in question gazing at him. Transference technique or not, it was still a kiss...

"How about now?" Michael asked, getting his own bearings after the kiss even though he was the one to initiate it. Again, transference technique or not, it was still a kiss. Yuzuru tried again, focusing on the power inside her, and sure enough, her clothes began to magically fit her much better.

"Better. Thank you, Michael." Yuzuru sweetly thanked him. She then completed the rest of her outfit with the leftover energy, spawning orange cat ears that grew from her hair above her head, the same color at her hair but also had a hint of light brownish tint, along with a bushy tail of that exact same color. This was most likely done as Origami's cat ears and tail would look out of place if she wore those, so Yuzuru made her own.

Michael continued to look at her; not full on staring, just looking at her. Her dark colored dress covered with a white frilled apron, the standard maid outfit had an alluring contrast to her mostly expressionless face. And like Origami, she also reminded him of a character from the aforementioned anime, but he couldn't react the characters name at the moment... Azuki? Or maybe it was the one she always fought with, Coconut?

Whatever the case was, Michael had to admit, he liked what he saw.

"Curious. Your starring. Or is this 'admiring'?" Yuzuru asked, which aside from the reference to one of his many moments with Miku, he blinked upon being called out. He wasn't gonna deny he was getting a good look at her, that would be stupid.

"Oh... well I... ya know, rarely get to see you dressed up like this." He attempted to play off, as technically this was true as Yuzuru had been in a maid outfit before once or twice; but something about this time just seemed so different. Maybe because of how much time had passed since then, when he was only getting to know Yuzuru better as more time went on, coming so far from just one of two girls duking it out with her sibling out of stubbornness.

"Specific. Like what?" Yuzuru asked again, more than aware of Michael's game to try and brush it off, wanting more clarity than that. "Supplement. You admired. I noticed." She added, once again using his own terms against him.

Swallowing his pride, and with a low grumbling sigh, he answered honestly: "You look great, Yuzy. Really cute. Happy?"

Yuzuru did smirk victoriously, much like how Origami did last week at the cafe, and even cutely swayed as she held her arms behind her back. "Expected. Master Origami's equation was right." She said, and before Michael could ask exactly what Origami said, Yuzuru gladly repeated it. "Kitties plus maid outfit equals twice the irresistible charm. Master Origami never fails." She said with admiration in her voice.

'Why did I ever bother dating her...' Michael asked himself while mentally groaning, not talking about Yuzuru.

"Confidence. Did I make your heart race just now then?" Yuzuru asked. Now if there were choices digitally generated for Michael Fraxinus-style based on his own thoughts at the moment, they would be:

1) Yes. You did.

2) Before or after your "filling out?"

3) Stop listening to Detective Siesta's perverted nonsense!

Part of him wanted to go with option 3; and while he could have easily went with option 2, he decided to swallow it again and just be honest with option 1. He may as well be, seeing as he already admitted she looked cute.

"Very. You look really good, Yuzy. The most charming cat I've ever seen." Michael said, which got Yuruzu both to smile brighter and also blush, feeling like a huge winner. She then did something Michael did not expect her to do... she began to brush up against him, her soft body touching his own. "Y-Yuzuru?..."

"Lure... Nya, Master." Yuzuru said, copying what Origami did last week, instigating a flirt with him. This was probably a bit of his fault, now that he admitted he liked it, the Yamai's competitive nature began to take over, wanting to one-up him some more.

"S-Shouldn't you be heading to work?" Michael asked, keeping his cool despite the soft touch on his arm. Even so, his body stiffened and dared not to move. Now this wasn't the first time a girl touched him like this, Kurumi doing it all the time with her cat-like antics, but in that context, he was so used to that specific character doing it that it didn't affect him as much as annoy him. This was Yuzuru, who yeah can be flirtatious, but it usually came across as inexperienced and shy.

"Explain. I have 2 hours before needing to clock in." Yuzuru said, which meant she was only trying on the maid outfit before she actually had to go to work. "So until then... Master, please accept this clingy kitten." She added, continuing her rubbing against him, making very legit sounding purring noises as well. Michael was just standing in bewilderment, unable to move from the 'kitten' leaning and rubbing against him. At one point, Yuzuru also rubbed her head more into his wrist near his hand.

If he was reading this correctly... did she want him to... pet her?

With nothing to lose effectively, he gave in and began to softly pet Yuzuru's head like she was an actual cat, even stroking the cat ears which only got her to purr and meow more, but it seemed like she was actually enjoying it rather than just flirting with him now. Or she was just really getting into the character and still enjoyed this for that reason. Either way... this honestly get really nice, Yuzuru's soft and curvy body up against his own. In fact she kept pushing into him, he ended up having to sit on her (or Kaguya's, he wasn't paying attention) bed, with Yuzuru laying her head on his knees as she had her eyes closed with a smile and her fists up under her head imitating cats paws. She was totally relaxed, enjoying the gentle strokes of Michael's fingers along her head and inside her hair.

Yuzuru then rolled over, her eyes closed in comfort. "Request... rub the kittens belly..." No way. That was not appropriate. Michael wanted to verbally deny that, but his lips wouldn't move. Of course he made no moves to actually do it yet, he was still shocked Yuzuru of all the girls was asking this of him. "Genuine. To a kitten, that is a sign of trust."

Duh, he knew that. It's just doing this to an actual human... er, well; human-like being felt weird. But with her waiting for him to do this, it felt wrong to deny her, so he gave in again and literally rubbed Yuzuru's belly, caressing every part of her stomach with his fingers. She stretched out like a pet having its belly rubbed, the Wind Spirit totally content and comfortable with what was going on.

She slowly began to open her eyes in a dreamy state and looked directly up at him, her eyes locked onto his, refusing to gaze away... he was so handsome... well, not like movie star handsome, being all dolled up; but more on the side of he wasn't disgusting to look at. Those deep hazel eyes looking down at her, which could be hard at times when he gets in one of his moods, but they also gave her the feeling of security she could only feel when under their watch... no matter what mistakes she makes, they'll never judge her poorly... the eyes that looked both her and Kaguya point-blank and said: "fuck that. I'm not choosing between you, because your both worth everything to me."

Neither teen knew which one of them leaned up to him or down toward her first, or who went more into it, all they knew was the next thing they both knew was they felt each others lips connected to each other. This kiss however, felt so much different than the others they had shared. This one felt more caring... more emotional... more intimate.

Yuzuru and Michael continued to kiss each other, with Yuzuru's purrs also turning into soft moans as they continued the kiss into a much longer one than they recall ever sharing, which was far from a bad thing. Yuzuru was even enjoying it so much, she couldn't help but drop the cat act thing and physically lean up into the kiss more and also instinctively wrap her arms around his neck, wanting more out of it. Michael wasn't just rubbing her belly anymore either, now his fingers were tracing over her more curvier hips while also wrapping around her back to pull her up closer.

This was only meant to be a small flirt, but neither of them was gonna deny this version of events either. This was a very enjoyable experience for Yuzuru, even better than the dumb little flirt.

How did all this come about? Yuzuru wasn't sure and right now, she honestly did not care in the slightest. But as they continued, like every girl before whenever Michael did this, her clothes began to shine and slowly change to her Astral Dress, the chains making metallic sounds as they moved with her own bodies movements. Also since the ears and tail were made by Spirit Power, they shrunk back into her body... maybe this was a side effect of receiving her full power back?

Like the first twin when they parted for air, Michael saw his act of deeply kissing her passionately returned her armor. Still both use to the other twin, but perfectly suiting the current owner. One twin was cuter, the other was sexier. Yuzuru being the sexier one of the two, his honest opinion.

Yuzuru started the kissing up again, her emotions forcing her to smash her lips into his again… what can she say? It felt nice, kissing the boy who had done so much for her and her other half countless times. Part of her did feel a little guilty as he was also Kaguya's "property" as much as her own… the other half of her didn't care at the moment, only wanting to continue the warming feelings spreading all over her body.

In fact, she took this a step further, and leaned up further so she was now sitting directly on his lap, kissing him deeper while pulling and pressing herself into him by using her hands around his neck as a pully system of sorts, though this was instinctive and happened automatically. This gave Michael the same feeling as with Kaguya, the chains around her Astral Dress being cold yet still stimulating; only because Yuzuru was curvier, her skin against his felt slightly warmer, increasing said stimulus.

Michael's touches began to get more bolder, his fingers and palms gliding over her back and sides, which made Yuzuru moan into his mouth a bit more even as he gripped her body closer, surprising her and making the moan hit a slightly higher note. Unlike with Kaguya who did show some discomfort yet still pleasured, Yuzuru was similar to the body types of Tohka, Miku and Kurumi, which allowed him to continue his touches without worrying about hurting her.

Yuzuru began to imagine the visions of him and Kaguya touching each other, but now wanted that for herself, so she began to rub against with both her body and hips, effectively grinding on him, to try and invoke the same reactions. This was again, instinctive, Yuzuru having no idea if this was the correct thing to do or not... but it felt right.

This did work... a little too well, because she felt something stiffen beneath her. Was that his...?

"... massage me..." Yuzuru moaned out in bliss in-between kisses, feeling on cloud nine from all of this, and wanting the experience to keep going. They parted after another few seconds to gaze into each others' eyes, where Mike also did a double take on what she requested. Why did she ask that? She looked into his eyes pleadingly, silently begging him to agree.

Maybe it was a Twin thing, both Yuzuru and Kaguya liking a massage, so Michael lifted her off of him. Like Kaguya, although a little heavier (he wasn't gonna say that out loud), Yuzuru was very light, not needing a strength increase from Spirit Energy. He placed her right next to him while he turned his body.

Without another word, he began the massage the exact same way, gently placing his hands on her shoulders, and like Kaguya, she gasped out like when Michael put lotion on them. His touch, like she dreamed about him and Kaguya's time, was a bit rough, but very gentle and warm. And also, since her dress was almost a mirror image of Kaguya's, she felt the same direct contact with his fingers to her skin.

As Michael was massaging her, pressing his thumbs into her body (though he did have to move the cape from off her back), Yuzuru's reaction to all of this was a little different from Kaguya's. While Kaguya resisted for a time, Yuzuru immediately began to fully moan while Mike's magical fingers traced down and around her shoulders and back, her eyes fluttering shut. His own instincts taking hold, he exhaled on her left shoulder, but surprisingly this didn't have the same effect as from Kaguya; but when he changed to he right one, THAT'S when Yuzuru began to arch backward. When he followed up with the same type of kisses to that shoulder and making his way towards her neck with more kisses, she arched back even more, sighing out with pleasure. It would appear Yuzuru had the same pleasure points at Kaguya did, just flipped... could be another twin thing, Michael wasn't entirely sure.

Yuzuru felt his right hand (as his left one was holding her left shoulder for leverage) start feeling along her belly again, but this also included her torso. Because of the straps of her Dress being the way they were, Yuzuru was able to feel the alteration between her skin and the dress in real time, the feeling of Michael's fingers traveling from skin to armor was almost like turning a light switch on and off.

He got even bolder and began gliding his fingers directly to her right breast. He at first teased her by only rubbing his fingers against the glowing fabric part, which got the moans to quicken; then he directly inserted his hand and fingers in there, which was much easier compared to Kaguya's with the way Yuzuru's version of the dress was fashioned, able to cup it directly from beneath. Despite the additional straps that kept her chest locked in place, the boy able to cup her breast and easily massage it with his whole hand.

"Miiii-chael..." Yuzuru moaned his name in the same fashion as Kaguya, unable to resist the urge to do so. Michael's head continued its way under her neck, kissing it as she tilted her head in the opposite direction to allow him better access, not wanting him to stop. She felt exactly the same as when she say Kaguya in her visions, and even those visions began to overlay over herself as she was now living those moments for herself. There was still the same issue with the collar covering her neck with no way of getting it off, but where the shoulder meets the neck was still kissable and Yuzuru loved every single second of it, especially when his tongue came out and he began to lick her neck. Just like when Kaguya, Yuzuru was the prey to the vampire known as Michael, with no hope of escape (and not that she wanted too).

Yuzuru felt absolutely incredible! If having dreams of Kaguya and him doing it was good, this was amazing! It felt even better with this actually happening with in real life! There was still a part of her that thought he'd have preferred Kaguya over her, as Kaguya was skinner than she was, not to mention cuter. But at this moment, Yuzuru felt so warm. So happy… so loved.

She was putty in his hands, Michael continuing to touch her, also tweaking her nipple to make it erect from his service. There was no spot Michael left untouched, Yuzuru continuing to moan as he touched every spot her Astral Dress left exposed, especially as he deepened the kisses and licks to her neck. She couldn't crane her neck anymore if she tried, giving him unlimited access to that part of her that felt so incredible to be pleasured in. Though the stupid collar was blocking him from servicing her completely, but she couldn't focus on removing it due to said service... she felt already addicted to this.

Now whether this was accidental or not was unknown, but Michael's hand then ventured toward her skirt… but she didn't stop him. Yuzuru truly loved him, and didn't want to ruin this moment.

"Mi... Michael..." Yuzuru said in-between breaths as she slowly craned her neck to look back at him, her eyes filled with passion and ecstasy. With the way they were positioned, her lips were an inch away from his as she looked at him while he was behind her, both could feel each others' breath tickle the other ones lips.

They ended up kissing on the lips again, Yuzuru softly moaning a few times into it. Michael teased her a bit by digging his fingers inside her skirt, but not exactly touching her down there just yet. To Michael's surprise however, Yuzuru touched his hand that was inside her skirt, but was actually guiding him. Not only that, Yuzuru stopped kissing him and leaned up further so her neck was in his face; clearly she wanted more attention there.

With another kiss to her neck, he then added a very light bite with his teeth, gently pressing into her skin.

"Haaaa... Haaaa... Haaaa...!" Yuzuru gasped and moaned, trying to control her breathing but it wasn't working. His teeth biting down on her wet skin from his licking and kissing. It almost sent her over the edge, and this was a tad painful, but it was also very much stimulating, giving her a sense of pleasure she didn't think was possible. Now he was marking his territory on her, just like he already did to Kaguya... she was so happy... happy Michael and her were sharing such an intimate moment like this.

He then began to touch inside her...

"Ahhhhhh!" Oh God! Yuzuru's moan burst out of her throat uncontrollably... How many fingers was he using?! She felt something slide inside her and wiggle around, and it just made her vocal cords sent that sound out of her mouth. That's not even mentioning he was still biting her, and his teeth were pressing in further, he himself reacting to her moans. She wasn't gonna be able to take much more... Her body was going crazy with all these new sensations and feelings spreading throughout it. She felt so hot, on fire even... she didn't think her body could get any hotter!... She felt she was gonna explode...!

As Michael got deeper into "that area", Yuzuru of course moaned louder after she felt an insane wave wash over her, then her body felt a bit drained from a release, resting on top of him while heavily breathing... no... she wasn't done yet... If dream Kaguya could last longer, then so could she! With newfound resolve, Yuzuru smashed her lips into Michael's extremely forcefully, nearly knocking him down. In a frenzy, she began to explore his body much like he did, ripping his clothes off. While she was doing this, her Astral Dress began to disappear bit by bit until she was left completely naked; though also by that time, Michael was only in his pants as his shirt was completely destroyed.

Recovering from her frenzy, she slowly stopped kissing him. Michael's fingers were obviously soaked by this point because of her, and was able to remove them from her heated core, and Yuzuru's eyes refused to leave his.

"Heart... Michael... I love you..." Yuzuru said, unable to hold back the words. Michael had given her so much attention just now, that she couldn't hold back her feelings anymore. Yeah, she would always send Michael hints and such, but this was the very first time she openly admitted it by herself. Yuzuru felt like a cat in heat, needing to admit her feelings for the person she cared so much for, and the one who returned that same care back to both her and her sister.

Michael began to sit up a little before he answered her with: "I love you too, Yuzuru." He admitted his own feelings, which got Yuzuru to start tearing up some tears of joy, her body feeling all warm and fuzzy. It also didn't escape her notice how large he felt with something poking her as she laid on him.

"Re-Request... Michael... are we...?" Yuzuru asked, asking if they were really gonna take it this far. As they were already naked together, or at least she was at the moment, they may as well go all the way. With this being her first, she was a bit uncertain to an extent, but also wanted to do this with the boy she loved.

Michael gently caressed one of her hands, intertwining his fingers with hers... her heart began to quicken when he did this, the Spirit feeling his and her blood pulsing in what she felt was a perfect rhythm. "That's up to you." He said, not denying her, but instead letting her make the final decision, which she appreciated.

Instead of giving the verbal answer, she used her free hand to unzip his pants, with Michael using his own free hand to assist her. When his pants were removed and he was only in his underpants, Yuzuru couldn't help but stare for a second... the bulge in his pelvis area caught her attention, and instincts along with the images of him and Kaguya together flooded her brain. It was crazy some that long did pop out of his clothes like a pair of breasts would, Yuzuru trying to comprehend it. She never done this before, and wasn't sure what to do. She however, thought of something different... something those visions never showed...

She let go of his hand. "Yuzuru?" Michael asked, wondering what Yuzuru was doing. Was she having second thoughts?... A let down sure, but he wasn't gonna force her if she wasn't ready.

What she did next, was something Michael would never forget, and be burned into his brain, for the rest of his life...

Yuzuru lifted her leg over him, and turned her body around. For a brief second, he saw her bare private, but that's not what threw him for a loop. It's the fact that she then took his cock while her back and butt was facing him, and began to lower herself on him that way. When she tried to insert him, she did feel some pain when she got past the tip, but kinda expected that. It wasn't bad, it just felt different. There was the sharp pain of course, but it was small. It felt hard as well, like she was putting a rock inside her, but it felt gentle against her insides… yeah, kind of a weird description, but that's how she felt.

She went up and down slowly, but not all the way in, moaning as she felt Mike's cock stretch her out.

Michael couldn't believe it... He had to be imagining this right? Yuzuru actually doing this without being coached or told to do it?... This was the same girl who couldn't even commit to taking him into a love hotel! Now here she was, preparing her body for a Reverse Cowgirl!

Looking down at their near-union, she finally figured it was enough, and completely took in Michael's everything. Once it was all the way inside her, she immediately arched backwards, not expecting the level of pleasure it gave her. Michael also grunted pretty vocally as well, never having felt this position yet. Doing it backwards felt his cock be massaged in a completely foreign way, but a way that exceeded what he thought was possible in the realm of sex despite his limited experience. You know how when you put something in backwards like in a toy or something, it's harder to jam it in as the toy wasn't designed that way, which in turn makes the toy harder to come apart... that's probably the only description Mikey could give about it, but in this case, her warmth felt even tighter going backwards!

After a moment of getting adjusted to his length, Yuzuru tried to move... there was pain, and some blood, but it was very minor. Still a mix of pain and pleasure, but one she could tolerate. She forced herself to continue until the pain completely disappeared, and she wanted nothing more than to keep bouncing backwards on him, moaning each time she went down. Michael felt the same, his hips moving upwards into hers on their own, making them both moan and groan with pleasure.

Unable to handle her doing all the work, Michael shot up and held Yuzuru as she still rode him Reverse Cowgirl style. She was shocked he slightly grabbed her, but this is where he used the new leverage from holding her this way to thrust deeper into her. He was squeezing her breasts as his hands were wrapped around her chest, his grunting filling her ears... it made her own body work more to return that pleasure back to Michael, pushing into him every time he thrusted into her.

"AHHH! AAHHH! MI-AHHHH!" This made a ripple effect. Every time Yuzuru sucked in him, he would push himself all the way into her, giving both teens the maximum amount of pleasure for this scenario of love making. In addition to that, Michael uncontrollably bite into her neck again from behind, only now the lock collar from her Astral Dress was gone he could ravage her there directly!

"AAAAAAAAAAHHH!" Yuzuru screamed out in pleasure once again, the loudest her voice would allow. It would appear that like Kaguya... her neck... was her weakest point. Even as she kept up from her end, Michael too kept thrusting into her, along with biting, kissing and sucking on her slender neck. He was really starting to think this really was a twin thing, both sisters having mirrored pleasure points.

Yuzuru kept moaning as Michael impaled her constantly, now the one in control, still making out with her neck. Sadly as much as she wanted to, she couldn't claw at his back like Kaguya did in her vision, but what she could do was wrap her legs as much as possible around him. It wasn't much as they were sitting up, but it was something that still increased the pleasure between them both. She didn't want this to ever end, but she felt a large knot in her tummy, knowing she was at her limit.

"AHH! AHH! MI-MICHAEL! MICHAEEEEL!" Yuzuru cried out his name loudly, feeling each and every thrust deep inside her, giving her the maximum pleasure possible. She didn't care if this was gonna hurt tomorrow, all that mattered to her was making passionate love to the boy who saved her life. And with every thrust he gave her, she felt like a button was pressed within her body.

She wanted it… wanted to take in everything Michael was about to unload within her.

"Yuz...!" Michael didn't even get to finish her name... he felt it too, feeling his dick swell up inside Yuzuru's warmth until neither of them could take another second…

SPLURT!

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Michael's love shot deep inside of Yuzuru on his last thrust, so much that there was plenty leaking out. The Spirit was unable to control the volume of her scream as she arched back against Michael's body after her huge orgasm thanks to him, overloaded with sensual gratification that she didn't think was possible… she felt all of it, feeling her insides being stuffed by a hot load deep in her womb, both her and his body fluids mixing inside and outside of themselves.

They could both feel Michael's hardness began to soften inside of her, Yuzuru panting and trying to catch her breath from the intense experience, and Michael had already stopped bitting her neck by the time he came inside her. They were both just sitting in the bed with both lingering excitement and exhaustion from the activity, the intense love-making session they shared sapped them of nearly all their energy.

Yuzuru closer her eyes and hugged Michael's hands that where still around her, feeling his hands over her beating heart, which was beating not just from the sex, but from sharing the closet act 2 people can share. She couldn't love him anymore than she already did, her mind in a haze from the act, but knowing this is exactly where she wanted to be. She loved him with every fiber and Reiryoku in her being, smiling contently and in silence as she sank into the hug, in the strong arms of the boy she loved more than anything else and only tied by her sister.

30 minutes later...

RING! RING! RING!

A phone was ringing at Origami's cafe job. One of the maids, dressed as a cat again, answered it. "How can we help you?" Asked the cat maid.

"Yeah. I'm calling about Tobiichi Origami..." Michael's voice said over the line. "I'm her boyfriend, Michael Pelham."

"Okay, is she alright? She has her friend coming in to cover her shift soon." Said the employee.

"That's kinda the reason I'm calling..." Michael said. "Yuzuru won't be able to make it today either."

"Really? What happened?" Asked the maid and by this point, the perspective changes from the cafe to Michael's room, where we see him standing half-decent on his cell phone in Kaguya's and Yuzuru's room, with Yuzuru peacefully asleep and while still clearly naked, was put under the sheets for modesty and comfort.

"She's... ... feeling rather drained today. Had a really rough time and just needs to rest." He said, unable to think of another cover story. "Sorry to call last minute, but I hated to disturb her, ya know?"

"Yes, I understand." Said the employee, understanding. "Don't worry! I'll figure it out. Thanks for letting me know." She added cheerfully.

"Your welcome. Have a good one."

"Bye!"

Click!

Both callers hung up, then Michael looked back at Yuzuru... she looked so cute and peaceful, and he couldn't help but smile. On one hand... Gold! He took another girls virginity out of love for her. Though on the other hand... Failure! He couldn't resist the temptation of yet another cute, pretty girl in his harem. Yuzuru certainly looked happy, her smile wide even as she slept.

He couldn't do much else for her right now, so he just sat next to her while she slept... his presence seemed to be sensed by her somehow, cuz she smiled a bit more as she snuggled in the bed. He couldn't help but pet her like a cat again, which made her smile and snuggle more.

XXX

Kaguya panted as she felt the wave of pleasure leave her body finally after what felt like an hour. It was so bizarre, having that random daydream about Michael... but why was he doing stuff with Yuzuru and not herself? Maybe she just missed him and all the things he did to her?... Yeah, probably.

Maybe she'll ask him for a second time, if an opportunity ever presents itself...
