First Story: Crosplay Event

"I cannot believe you are making me do this." Kazuya groaned with displeasure, dismay and a whole lot of reluctance. Looking at what was holding within his hands. Mimi was outside his room, and he tentatively held up the outfit at eye level. He paled and shook his head. "There is no way I am doing this." He stated and his door opened. Mimi came in and frowned.

"But you promised. You said you would do me a favor when and if I could find out what Chizuru would consider a perfect Proposal. I was able to do that and now this is in exchange for that." Mimi smiled and could not wait for him to change into the outfit. She had goofed and purchased a Crosplay Costume for her Website. The problem was it was way too big for her. So, she decided to force Kazuya to put it on. "Now finish putting it on...This time I will turn around and cover my eyes. Because I do not trust you." Turning around she placed her hands over her eyes and heard Kazuya groan audibly. Finishing putting most of it on. This allowed Mimi to turn back around to help him put on the rest. Which included huge fake padded boobs, long white hair, horns, tail and wings. Neither heard the front door open and then close.

At that moment Chizuru came home. She had a bad day. It started normal enough but after she broke the heel of her right shoe. It went downhill from there. From there she had not noticed that her Cellphone died. Because she had forgotten to recharge it last night. So, when she arrived at the Theatre for Rehearsal. That is after she bought a cheap pair of shoes. She discovered it had been cancelled due to some problems with the Lighting on the stage. Then to add to her problems. While she found that out Umi once more demanded that she not have Kazuya remain in her house. While at the same time confessed again. She had to remind him that they were not a couple, that she had no intention of ever being in a relationship with him and if she wanted Kazuya to live in her house. That he had no right to demand anything. In the end he left in a huff. Causing her to be in a bad mood. So, she decided before anything else went or could go wrong she would just go home. Wanting to take a hot bath and try to forget the problems she had today. But as she headed for the Bathroom, she overheard something from Kazuya's Room that made her stop and listen. "What is Mimi doing in Kazuya's room?" She muttered listening intently. Feeling a strange tingling painful sensation in her chest.

"I just pray Chizuru never finds out about this." Kazuya muffled voice said from within. "If she does...There goes any chance I might have with her. She will think I am some sort of pervert." Chizuru outside the door, began to imagine all sort of things that the two of them were doing.

"Oh, come on Master...I am sure she would not even care. Hey...Don't be so rough with my boobs." Mimi said disapprovingly and Kazuya gently adjusted the padded fake boobs that consisted of the Character that he was portraying. He was having trouble stuffing them into the Costume since it was so tight. At that moment Chizuru decided it was time for her to interrupt whatever sorted thing that they were doing. Turning the door handle she threw the door because she no longer could handle what she believed they were doing. Wanting to put a stop to whatever it was. But what she encountered was something she never expected to ever see.

"Sorry...Is this better?" Kazuya asked and just as he finished lightly stuffing the fake boobs into the Costume. IT was not an easy task. The Costume was extremely tight, and the Boobs were massive and hard to stuff within the material. Once done, he looked down to see the overabundant cleavage that was pressed tightly within the straps of the Costume material. He was afraid to breath too heavily. Afraid if he did that the material would rip and then Mimi would be upset at him. Again he prayed Chizuru or anyone else would see him in such an embarrassing state. Unfortunately, at that same moment the door flew open, and Chizuru was standing there staring at him. Wide eyed.

"What the...?" Chizuru started to ask as she stared at what was before her. Mimi was off to one side holding what looked like Horns and Wings. While Kazuya was dressed in women's clothing. With gigantic Boobs that strained against the top of the scantly outfit and a long flowing white wig. Kazuya paled and he immediately gasped loudly.

"This is not what it looks like!" Kazuya stated quickly grabbing a blanket from his bed to somewhat cover up what he was wearing. Chizuru suddenly burst out laughing, shaking her head as she came further into the room. He looked over at Mimi who he could tell would be no help in this situation. "Oh man...Thanks a lot Mimi...Now she is going to think I am some sort of pervert. That cross dresses. There goes any chance I might have had with her." He thought, blushing a bright shade of red as he groaned loudly and felt like running from the room. But to do so he would have to almost knock Chizuru out of his way.

"Can you tell me why Kazuya...Is dressed like this?" Chizuru asked between bouts of laughter. Mimi gestured towards Kazuya attire.

"I bought a Cosplay Costume, and it was way too big for me. So, I got Master to put it on so I can publish it on my Website." Mimi told her as she put the Wings, Tail and Horns down. "He is portraying HELVI. From I SUMMONED THE DEVIL TO GRANT ME A WISH, BUT I MARRIED HER INSTEAD SINCE SHE WAS ADORABLE. MY DEVIL WIFE." She then pulled out her Cellphone and after a second showed Chizuru the MANGA image of HELVI. Chizuru looked from the image and then over at Kazuya. Again she laughed.

"Well...He does sort of look like her. Mostly in the chest area." Chizuru commented with a huge smile. Causing Kazuya to groan again. "Though...He needs some make-up. Here and up here." She pointed to his cheeks and then at his forehead. "Maybe a darker shade of lipstick too. Got any? If you do, I will put it on." At that point Kazuya knew where he was, and it was not heaven. As Mimi handed the make-up to Chizuru who began to lightly put it on him. Mimi watched with a huge smile and after a second or so snapped her fingers.

"I will be right back. I need to get something I forgot." Mimi said dashing from the room while Chizuru continued to put the make-up on Kazuya who felt like no matter what happens. Any chance he had was now gone and he had to know if that was the case.

"Does this...Does this mean...How badly does this make me look...You got to know I am not into this sort of thing...Right? This doesn't...Does this negatively affect your investigation? Does it mean I blew it?" Kazuya asked sullenly and Chizuru smiled at him while she applied the last the make-up on his forehead. To make it appear more feminine. She shook her head.

"No. I told you I was seriously thinking about the Investigation...This does not affect that at all...In fact, Kazuya I was in a bad mood. I did not have a nice day today and something like this...Helped a lot. It cheered me up." Chizuru leaned back to admire her work and continued to smile. "There all done. I have to say...You look really good." Mimi returned and she held out a cloak.

"I cannot believe I forgot this. Here put this on too." Mimi held out the Dark Colored Cloak and Kazuya slung it over his shoulders. "Perfect. Now all we got to do is the Podcast and..."

"And I can finally get out of this." Kazuya said wanting to get out of the costume as soon as possible.

"Before that...I want some pictures of him." Chizuru said taking out her Phone to take several pictures.

"Why would you want...Pictures of me like this?" Kazuya asked as she continued to take several more pictures. She smiled coyly.

"Well, if you ever really annoy me. I can send them to your family and maybe even Kibe and Kuri." Chizuru said and Kazuya paled again. She had not said it out loud but thought it. "Which includes if you ever do cheat on me." The Investigation continued. Nearing a positive conclusion.

Unexpected, Unwelcome and Unwanted Visitor

It being a day after Chizuru endured the hardest part of her time of the month. She felt a lot better. Though she still was feeling some of the effects. She had been worried earlier that Kazuya might have caught a cold sleeping basically outside her room. She considered reprimanding him if he had caught a cold. But he seemed to be fine. Though he was complaining about being a little stiff and sore. "Serves you right. For doing something so...So stupid. Along with endearing." She thought warmly with a small smile as she headed for the Bathroom to take a shower. Taking off her Bathrobe, she turned on the Shower and removed her Underwear. Stepping within she let the warm water flow over her for several minutes before washing her hair and her body. It soothed her as the water flowed over her. Enjoying the entire time. Turning off the shower, she reached for her towel and spotted something that caused her to shriek loudly. There on the floor was a Mouse. A large about four-inch mouse. Shrieking again, loudly. She took her towel and threw it at the invader. Which had no real affect. The Mouse did not even move, and Chizuru grabbed the nearby Washbasin to throw it at the furry intruder as well. But at that moment the door of the bathroom was thrust open.

"What is wrongggg...?" Kazuya asked in concern and then stared wide eyed at the sight before him. Mesmerized by what he now saw for several seconds before he closed and covered his eyes with his hands. "SORRY." He quickly stated and Chizuru shrieked again this time in embarrassment. Instead of throwing the basin at the mouse, she threw it hard at Kazuya. The Basin hit Kazuya across the face knocking him backwards onto the floor.

"Whoops." Chizuru muttered, noticing that the mouse had hightailed it out the door. Right past the now unconscious Kazuya. Walking over where the now prone Kazuya laid on the floor, she knelt and grimaced. She had hit him squarely in the head. She had not meant too. But when he had come in and saw her naked. She just threw the basin without any clear thought. Basically, she overreacted. "He is going to have one hell of a black eye." She frowned. At that moment his eyes fluttered open, and he groaned loudly.

"Crap! That hurt!" Kazuya said softly and tried to sit up. Chizuru placed her right hand on his chest.

"Wait. You might have a concussion. Take it slow and easy." Chizuru said and then exhaled with a deep sigh. "Sorry about that. I just...I did not mean to throw it so hard at you." Kazuya slightly shook his head.

"No. I am sorry. I should not have rushed in here when you...When you were taking a shower. It is all my fault." Kazuya said almost dreading that now Chizuru might believe he is a pervert and any chance he had was now gone. Seeing her naked had blemished him negatively in her investigation. As he was about to ask. There was a knock on the door. Chizuru rose and went to see who it was. Somewhat shocked to see two Uniformed Police Officers.

"We got a report from your Neighbor about loud yelling and other noises." The shorter of the two officers said and Chizuru let out a sigh. Already suspecting that it was the nosy next-door neighbor that had too much interest in what she was doing. The taller of the two looked in to see Kazuya slowly sitting up.

"Do you mind if we come in?" The Taller Officer asked, and Chizuru let out another sigh and stepped back so they could enter. The taller Officer went over to where Kazuya was and looked down at him. "Are you alright Sir?" The Officer asked and Kazuya nodded.

"Yeah. I am fine. Just took a spill." Kazuya stood and the Officer offered his hand to help him up. But Kazuya rose without any assistance. Chizuru knew exactly what it looked like. With the horrendous bruise on Kazuya's face and it being right after loud noises and her shrieking. That it was basically domestic violence.

"Sir. Nowadays it is not just Women being Domestically Assaulted. It is also Men being Assaulted by their significant other." The Officer told Kazuya looking suspiciously over at Chizuru and she inwardly groaned.

"No. That is not what this is. Yeah...Well..." Kazuya was about to tell the Officers that he deserved to be hit. But decided that might not be a good idea. "It was an accident. Nothing more than that." He then told them exactly what happened. Not embellishing any of it at all.

"Is that what really happened Maam?" The Shorter Officer asked staring at Chizuru suspiciously.

"Yes. It was just an accident. I do not...I would not intentionally hurt my Boyfriend." Chizuru told them and Kazuya smiled. He loved it when she referred to him as her Boyfriend.

"Still...Sir I would suggest if this should happen again, or it worsens...You contact the Domestic Abuse Hotline. Or call us. Domestic Abuse is a serious crime." The Shorter Officer said almost directly at Chizuru. Just before the two Officers made their way towards the door and after the Taller Officer gave Chizuru one more accusatory glare. They left. Kazuya burst out laughing as Chizuru scowled at him.

"This is not funny Kazuya. They think I...That I am abusive...It is not funny." Chizuru declared sternly and started to chuckle. Finding it was sort of funny in a weird way. It took them several more moments to stop laughing at the situation. "Don't ever tell Mimi or any of your Family about this." She informed him. Then went to put on her clothes. Completely forgetting out the furry intruder until later she saw it in the Kitchen. Thankfully this time Kazuya was able to chase it out the door.

Decisions Made:

Sitting at the table, Chizuru counted the money she had made at the Crosplay Event. Where she had dressed up as a Sexy Rabbit. She could not believe that she made just about 1.3 Million Yen in just six hours of her being paid for selfies. "I do not make this much in two or three months as a Rental Girlfriend." She muttered as she once more counted it again and it amazed her. Especially since Mimi made about half a million yen more by selling trinkets and books along with doing selfies. She smiled and thought about how Mimi offered to let her come next time. "This could be a good source of income if I have to quit being a Rental Girlfriend." She said as she finished counting again. She actually was waiting for Mimi and Kazuya to come back from the bank. Mimi had Kazuya escort her so she could deposit her money in the bank. That was something Chizuru intended having Kazuya escort her as well to her own bank. Then afterwards perhaps she would get Kazuya to take her out for dinner and a movie. She wanted to spend more time with him. It would help her with her decision. That and she really liked going out with him.

"Were back!" Mimi announced as she and Kazuya came through the door. "I am sort of glad I had Kazuya come with me. The last time...I had to make about half a dozen trips to the bank and it got really embarrassing." Both Chizuru and Kazuya looked at her slightly confused and Mimi smiled. "Well...To make sure no one held me up or mugged me. I sort of stuffed Money down in my Panties and in my Bra. So, when I got to the Bank...I had to go into the bathroom and get it out." She explained blushing slightly as Kazuya and Chizuru chuckled.

"I won't be doing that." Chizuru said and picking up her money and putting it in her purse. "Can you escort me to my Bank?" She asked Kazuya and he nodded. Almost willing to do anything for her. After they had left and were a good distance from the prying ears of Mimi. "There is a Movie I want to see...After I deposit the money in the Bank...How about we go out? Go to dinner and see that Movie?" She suggested and of course, Kazuya replied yes.

Even with Chizuru dressing moderately, Kazuya noticed that she gained a lot of attention from others. He already knew that. From those times he had Rented her before. She drew a lot of attention from other Boys and Men back then as well. "She is just so beautiful and attractive. Of course, she would attract attention." He thought as he walked besides her towards the Bank. He was being more observant to those around them. Wanting to make sure that none of them tried to snatch her purse or mug her. Though he suspected that none of those that looked at her. Had no intention of robbing her. "No. They probably want to approach her for an entirely different reason." He continued to think. As they neared the crosswalk. She reached over with her left hand and clasped his right hand in hers. Holding it possessively. Making it obvious to anyone looking at them that they were together.

Chizuru had noticed the others as well and she had decided to curb their intention of approaching her. She had dealt with this several times before when she was alone. Though at those times, she simply told those that attempted to ask her out that she had a Boyfriend. It was like that at the Crosplay Event as well. A good two dozen of her patrons that wanted Selfies tried to ask her out or they would ask for her contact information while trying to give them theirs. So, just like before when she was alone, informed them that she had a Boyfriend, and he was right over there. Gesturing at Kazuya who was also dressed in Crosplay. "I cannot count how many times I have used Kazuya as a means to keep someone from trying to hit on me." She thought as she gave his hand a light gentle squeeze and continued to hold his hand right up to when they went into the Bank.

During the Movie, Kazuya was so thrilled with the prospect of being out with Chizuru that he wished the Movie would go on for a lot longer. Like before on the street, she held his hand as they watched the Movie. "This feels like a real date." He thought and when she leaned her head onto his shoulder. That was when he almost lost it. Inwardly panicking right to when the movie ended. Having no idea what even happened in the Movie. Though what happened later made him completely lose it mentally.

On his bed, Kazuya stared up at the ceiling unable to even try to go to sleep. His thoughts kept going back to when they had returned back at the house. Just outside the door, Chizuru had placed a restraining hand on his right forearm. Then before he even realized what was happening, she had done something that caused him to inwardly scream. "She...She...Chizuru kissed me." He mumbled as he lay there, still in shock on the fact that she had kissed him. It was a brief kiss, what could be considered only a few seconds. But to him it felt like an eternity. He only wished it could have gone on longer. Then before he could respond. She quickly said goodnight and went inside the house. Making a beeline right into her room where Mimi was sitting on her own bed.

"So how was your date?" Mimi asked and Chizuru blushed a bright shade of red.

"It was fine." Chizuru stated and turned so Mimi could not see how embarrassed she felt.

"I can easily see that. By the way you are blushing. So, what did you do? Did you maybe...Kiss him?" Mimi asked with a huge smile. Chizuru turned back and glared at Mimi.

"You saw? You saw me...Didn't you?" Chizuru asked back no longer feeling quite as embarrassed and Mimi giggled. Which caused Chizuru to feel embarrassed again. She quickly went to her side of the room and got ready for bed.

"Really bold of you. Kissing him right there in front of the house. Does this mean your investigation is over?" Mimi asked and Chizuru did not reply. Instead, she laid down and pulled the covers onto her. "Is it over or not?"

"No. I still have some things I want to think over. The kiss was nothing more than a spur of a moment kind of thing. I will tell him tomorrow that it did not mean anything, and I need more time to finish my investigation." Chizuru said and Mimi grabbed her pillow and hit Chizuru with it. "HEY! What was that for?"

"Come on! You can't do that to Master! You can't encourage him and then...And then do that to him! That is beyond cruel! You know Master loves you...Why can't you admit you love him as well?" Mimi said about to hit Chizuru again with her pillow. She shook her head. "Or maybe you don't. Are you just being nice? Telling him you are investigating your feelings where you really have no intention of ever being with him. Hoping that after he moves back to his apartment. You plan on never seeing him again."

"No. I am seriously investigating my feelings." Chizuru said softly and pulled the blankets up so Mimi could not see how much she was blushing.

"What is there to investigate? Answer me! Do you love him or not?" Mimi demanded and for a brief moment she believed Chizuru was about to answer. Instead, Chizuru turned over and faced the wall. "Fine! You have no one to blame but yourself when he eventually gives up on you and gets with someone else. Like maybe Ruka...Or Sumi...Or." Mimi smiled coyly. "Or me." Those words hit Chizuru like a ton of bricks.

The Dream/Nightmare:

In her dream, Chizuru had not heard from Kazuya for over a month. Sure, she was staying at her House now and he had moved back to his Apartment. So, there was not really the same opportunities to see each other as much. Even at College, she only saw him once or twice and he basically ignored her. That alarmed and confused her. So, she decided to stop by the Apartment building to see why he had basically cut her off from all communication and was ignoring her completely. Then as she was about to ascend the stairs, she saw something that made caused her to gasp in shock. Outside Kazuya's door was he and Mimi. They were kissing passionately, and he had his hand on her ass. At that moment Chizuru awoke and sat up. Realizing that it was just a dream. Though to her it was a nightmare. She glared over at the sleeping Mimi and had an urge to hit her with a pillow. Instead, she put her robe on and sneaked out of the room. Going right to Kazuya's door and after standing there for several moments. Lightly knocked. A little surprised when he opened the door. "Can we talk?" She asked and then led him out back and outside. Once there she found she could not even look at him. For she was completely embarrassed.

"Is this about earlier? When you...When you...Kissed me?" Kazuya asked and Chizuru nodded. He let a long sighing breath. "I take it I am not supposed to not get the wrong idea, right? That it did not mean anything." He was expecting this. It had happened so many times before that he already suspected that she would tell him that the kiss was nothing more than what would be expected after a real date. She spun towards him and glared at him. Causing him to subconsciously step back.

"NO! It did mean something and...And it meant exactly what it implied." Chizuru stated blushing even more. "I kissed you because...Because..." She closed her eyes and reaffirmed her resolve. Not wanting what happened in the dream to actually happen. Not wanting him to be with anyone else. Not Ruka. Not Sumi and definitely not Mimi. She lunged forward and threw her arms over his shoulders and around his neck. "I kissed you because...I...I..I LOVE YOU! I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH YOU!" She announced loudly and then kissed him again. This time she pressed her lips hard against his and relished in the embrace. Feeling her heart pound heavily in her chest as she continued to kiss him. Parting she smiled at him as he wavered a bit. She could tell he was in utter shock. She chuckled. "By the way. The investigation is over, and you are now mine. You are my boyfriend. That means you belong to me." She then kissed him again.

The End? Or is it?
