Chapter 53: Discomfort
Hell, Lucky Seven Casino…
A sigh escaped the owners… lips?
Chomei was a tall demon, standing six feet tall.
He had a humanoid body, wearing a long sleeve button up shirt, black tie and gray vest with slacks and brown loafers.
His head, however, looked like a knight helmet with a rhinoceros beetle horn, his eyes glowing through the slits.
He leaned back into his chair, sighing in relief.
'Today has been a good day.' He thought as he moved his hands behind his head.
The phone on his desk rang.
"Yes, what is it?" Chomei answered, knowing it was security.
"Sir, some people on the black list have arrived… we need you." The chief of Security said with a mild panic in his tone.
"Who is it?"
Meanwhile…
B and Kurama were at a Blackjack Table, waiting for their opponent to roll the dice.
"Sorry sir," the dealer said as they scooted the chips away from the loser. "But you lose."
"Shit…" The demon shuddered, having been in the casino for… God knows how long.
The dealer retrieved the cards, and shuffled them back into the shuffler.
B and Kurama smiled confidently as the dealer did their job, passing out the cards.
They looked at their cards.
'Oh, lord, B's poker face needs work.' Kurama mentally giggled, glancing at B's face.
It was sweaty, his lips pulled together, and his hands shook.
"Hit me, ya' Fool!" B stated confidently, placing four chips into the pot.
A third card was placed before him.
"SHIT, I GOT BIT!" B exclaimed, his card total being over twenty-one.
The dealer looked at Kurama.
"Hit me." Kurama said as she put ALL of her chips in.
The dealer quirked an eyebrow, looking into Kurama's eyes.
Her face was soft, gentle, with an air of confidence as she looked in in the eyes.
He dealt the card.
"Twenty-One." He said in surprise.
The table groaned as Kurama use one of her tails to scoot her earnings toward her pile.
B and Kurama heard someone cough behind them.
"I thought I told you, the two of you are BANNED from my establishment!"
"Oh, Chomei~" Kurama said as she turned in her chair, leg crossed, exposing a lot of her skin. "I thought we were friends?"
Chomei grumbled, crossing his arms.
"What does out friendship have…"
"Because I thought you would have lifted out ban by now." Kurama continued, her ears twitching cutely. "I mean, I did pay for the damages, and we aren't drinking this time."
Chomei's fingers twitched.
"Beside, the three of us and the other six had a hell of a time, raising turmoil and wrecking things in our youth." Kurama brought up.
Chomei face palmed.
"As… as long as you DO NOT drink, then I guess I can tolerate your presence here…" Chomei glanced at B with the angriest glare. "And keep him on a short leash."
"Cho, my bro." B said in a hurt tone. "I'd be a ho, but if my presence is a bother, just say so~"
"My god, your rapping sucks." Chomei whispered, knowing this conversation was doomed from the start.
He made his way to the dealer.
"Swap out, I'll deal." He told his worker.
Without question, the dealer stepped aside, and allowed Chomei to take his place.
"Just to make sure you two don't go wild, I'll be your dealer." Chomei said, preparing to play against two of his oldest friends.
B smiled, happy to be allowed to stay.
Kurama chuckled, her tails swaying back and forth.
Meanwhile, Park…
In disguise, Verosika nervously waited for Loona to arrive.
She fidgeted her hands, needing to move her hands or tail.
Her body felt restless.
Verosika looked around, spotting Loona in the distance, looking for her as she held a small plastic bag.
A wave of ease washed over Verosika as she waved, getting Loona's attention.
"Hey, Vero, sorry, I had to do a quick errand on the way here." Loona said as she approached the disguised Succubus, kissing her cheek and sitting on the bench with her. "Here."
From the bag, she produced two ice cream cones, one chocolate and one vanilla.
"Oh, thank you." Verosika thanked as she took the vanilla one, opening it.
The two sat in silence, watching the children in the park play.
The silence felt unnerving for Verosika.
The comfort she had taken was now slowly being warped as her organs began to knot themselves tightly in discomfort.
Every second, the knot in Verosika grew tighter.
Like a constrictor suffocating its prey.
"Loona…" Verosika said as she lowered her ice cream, not turning to look the hound in the eyes.
"uh, yeah?" Loona said as she munched on the cone, having finished it already. "What is it?"
"…."
Verosika's lips trembled.
She felt her eyes begin to water.
'Why is this so fucking hard!' She thought, closing her eyes slowly, trying to step the watering.
"Why…" was all she could say.
Loona frowned in confusion and tilted her head.
"Why… what?"
She could see Verosika deep in thought.
Loona felt concern.
This wasn't how Verosika normally was.
She was playful, sensual, and bright, like NOTHING got to her.
But now, Verosika was nervous, jittery, and looked like she was about to cry.
Verosika's ice cream hit the ground as Verosika grabbed Loona's hand, gripping it tightly as if the possibility of losing her grip would cost Verosika her life.
"Why are you okay with sharing Naruto with me… Isn't it a hassle?" Verosika asked, tears starting to drip down her cheeks to her chin. "Don't you want him all to yourself?"
Loona pulled out her pack of cigarettes and lighter.
Grabbing two, lighting both, Loona exhaled smoke, offering one to Verosika.
Verosika accepted, placing it to her lips as Loona placed her hand on top of Verosika's.
"When Naruto saved me from the Exterminator, I felt… happy, and then, when I met you…" Loona said, thinking back all those months. "I was ready to fight you for him… you have better tits, an equal, if not, superior ass. Not to mention you have money, fame, and power."
She paused to smoke.
"When in the Human World," Loona said as she looked forward, allowing Verosika to look at her without pressure. "Learning Naruto was hooking up with my favorite singer… it was easy to share."
Loona smiled at the memory of meeting Verosika for the first time.
Flashback…
"So, you are Loona?" Verosika said as Loona entered the small room.
Loona was nervous.
Standing before her was Verosika Mayday.
VEROSIKA FUCKING MAYDAY!
Popstar extraordinaire.
"You want a drink?" Verosika offered as she poured a glass of whipped cream vodka, raspberry pucker, and limoncello together before topping it off with whipped cream.
Verosika turned on a small hand radio, Michael Jackson's Thriller playing.
"… uh… uhm… No… not right now, thank you." Loona said nervously as she sat down on the bed.
Pulling up a chair, Verosika sat near the table that housed her human world liquor, drinking it.
The silence was palpable.
Neither enjoyed the silence, but neither knew what to say.
"Lovely weather we are having?" Loona said as she looked out the window, to see a Fall rainstorm.
"If… you say so." Verosika said as she drank.
'Failure…' Loona thought in a panic before her phone started to ring.
Skip…
"You turned him." Verosika finished as she ran her finger around the edge of her glass. "Well, that is one hell of an introduction. Was it good?"
Loona blushed.
"Yeah, and we became a couple a few days later, and the sex was great."
"If sex with him as a human was good, you'll enjoy sex with him as a hellhound." Verosika admitted, wiping the corners of her mouth.
"So… you both had…"
"Yeah, but…" Verosika said as she stood up and walked to the bed, sitting on it and looking at Loona in the eye. "You are in his heart. He still loves you."
Verosika's eyes looked at Loona's neck, seeing the jade necklace, making her smile.
"But I won't give him back to you." Verosika stated as she got into Loona's face. "I am willing to share."
"Over my dea… what?" Loona said in absolute confusion, expecting Verosika to fight her over Naruto's love.
"I am willing to share and carve a piece of his heart for myself." Verosika told Loona. "I love him."
"I love him too. It is kind of hard to not love him." Loona laughed, making Verosika giggle.
"Yeah, it is." Verosika replied.
"I am… okay with sharing… just because it's you…" Loona whispered that last part.
"OHO~" Verosika hummed as she leaned in and seductively smiled. "You have a crush on me? Or are just a pervy fan?"
"Uh…" Loona scooted back, only for Verosika to crawl up and cup her face.
"Oh, you are so cute." Verosika whispered, pecking Loona's lips before getting off the bed. "Business first, pleasure later."
'God damn cock tease!' Loona thought as she could feel herself being hot and bothered.
"Until Naruto wakes up, let's get to know each other." Verosika said as she sat back down, looking at Loona.
Flashback End…
Verosika chuckled, wiping her eyes, grabbing her cigarette.
"I did say all that, didn't I…" She laughed as she exhaled the smoke, putting her cigarette back in her mouth.
"Honestly, I'd be disappointed if Naruto didn't tap." Loona laughed, making Verosika snicker. "I wasn't even mad, because I… I knew he would come back. I would proudly post it on Social Media, 'My Boyfriend FUCKED Verosika Mayday STUPID'!"
Verosika laughed.
She just laughed.
Each second, it felt like her spirit was being lifted.
'Thank you, Loona.' Verosika thought as she leaned into the hound, feeling Loona's tail wrap around her.
Loona leaned into Verosika, the two enjoying their company and smoking.
They finished Loona's entire pack.
Evening, Human World…
"Dick, we're back." Delila called out as she entered the door, arms full of paperwork and bags from the store.
As she neared the dining room, she heard voices.
"… Tex then emerged, covered in paint, and Flare could ONLY respond with…" The female voice said happily, before becoming dull. "'Oops'."
Delila entered the dining room, and gasped.
Dick, Vortex, Jayjay, and Naruto were sitting at the table.
But her sight was on her step-daughter.
It had been ten years.
Ten long years.
"Delila." Dick said as he took notice of his wife.
Jayjay turned, standing up.
"Hey, Delila." She said as she stood respectfully before her Step-Mom. "You look great…"
Jayjay was pulled into a hug.
Naruto, meanwhile, glanced at Vortex.
The disguised hellhound was smiling, his good eye faintly watering.
He was just so happy his girlfriend was reuniting with her family.
Hell, Lucky Seven…
"You lose." Chomei said to Kurama, who pouted, but willingly giving up her chips.
"This might be abrupt, but its about time, we give up~" B rhymed, standing up.
He knew when to hold'em and when to fold'em.
Chomei smirked.
"No, I think I'll stay a bit longer." Kurama said, not wanting Chomei to out do her.
Her fire of competition was burning bright.
"I feel it Apropos," B said as he put a hand on her shoulder. "Think of your hubby, Shippo~"
And that Fire was dowsed.
Chomei stayed quiet as he took a step back.
The mood had soured.
Kurama's hair covered her eyes, keeping them darkened.
She stood up, magic oozing out of her as she walked away, causing the casino to shake.
"Great going, Octo-Pussy!" Chomei shouted as he smacked B outside the head. "You JUST HAD to mention Shippo."
"What? I didn't mean any harm, so why sound the alarm!"
"STOP FUCKING RAPPING!" Chomei shouted as he hit B.
As the two friends argued, Kurama walked dully.
Her eyes peeking out through the strands of hair, coming off creepy.
Her mind blank, except for ONE thing.
One Person.
'Shippo.' Kurama thought as she returned to Fox's Den.
Fox's Den…
Stark was laughing, HOLLERING, in childish glee as he banged on the door.
Said door was the door to Melani's bedroom.
"YOU LOST YOUR FUCKING TAIL!" Stark shouted, continuing to laugh his coked-out mind.
Doing her best to ignore the dumbass, Melani lay on her bed, under her blanket, curled like a wounded animal.
'That bitch…' Melani thought as she shook with rage, her pain still fresh.
It has been two days since Millie cut off her tail, and it would take thirty days for her tail to fully regrow.
Currently, her 'tail' was just the start of a small nub above her ass.
'I swear I'll kill her, that imp cunt!' Melani promised.
Her promise, however, was interrupted when the brothel shook.
At the entrance, Kurama stepped through.
Entering her home, Karen and Arnold gave their boss a wide birth, seeing she was not in the mood for talking about work.
She stepped past them, the floor creaked as she walked up the stairs to her office, passing the silenced Stark, who was attempting to escape… through a wall by pushing against it.
Kurama neared her office, seeing Tamamo struggling to withstand the pressure Kurama exuded.
"Mother…" Tamamo squeaked.
Kurama's hand appeared above her head, making her flinch.
The hand gently caressed the tiny fox's head, grazing her ear.
"My dear…" Kurama said in a tone. "I have… a job for you…"
She pulled out a note, handing it to her daughter.
"I have faith in you." Kurama said as she removed her hand from Tamamo's head, entering her office.
The door clicked shut, the Brothel was able to breathe again.
Within her office, Kurama stripped herself of her dress, kicking off her heels.
Now bare of the trappings of appearances, Kurama let down her hair.
'Shippo…' Tamamo thought, her throat becoming scratchy and dry.
Shippo.
Her husband.
Taken from her while pregnant with Tamamo.
Her inner thigh scars ached.
They ached in remembrance.
Of Kurama's weakness.
And in anger, of her vow.
Human World…
"Imma head out." Naruto said as everyone stood up to eat.
"What?" Dick, Delila, Jayjay, and Vortex asked in unison as they stared at him.
"I got a few errands to run." Naruto said, putting his hands up. "Don't worry, they are within the town, so call me when you are done, and I'll let you know where I am."
"But… but we are about to eat…" Jayjay said in confusion.
"I know, but my errands are important." Naruto urged.
Naruto wasn't stupid.
He KNEW he was the third wheel here.
He needed to let Jayjay be alone with Vortex and her family.
"Bro," Vortex said, their cover story being Naruto was his little brother. "Just… be safe… and careful, okay?"
"No prob, Tex." Naruto said as he turned to Dick and Delila. "It was nice meeting you."
"It was nice meeting you, too, Naruto." Delila said as she gave him a hug.
Dick shook Naruto's hand, very firm grip.
Naruto smiled as he went to the door, only to feel his shoulder get grabbed.
Jayjay turned Naruto around.
"Do you know your way around?" she asked in a pleading, slightly desperate tone.
Naruto felt a twinge of confusion, but nodded.
"Yeah, I got google maps if I get lost." He said as he gently pulled his shoulder out of Jayjay's grasp before he exited the house, pulling out his phone.
He dialed a number.
*Ring, Ring, Ring*
*Click*
"Hello?"
"Sup, Gaara, guess who is back in town?"
"Naruto, Oh, fuck, man where are you? I'll get Fuu and Shino and we will hang out." Gaara said in excitement.
"No problem with me, Gaara." Naruto replied as he walked down the street. "I'll meet you guys at…"
As the teen walked away, the house of Burdell got silent.
Father and Daughter were silent as Delila and Vortex made small chat, talking about how Vortex met Jayjay.
"… Worked at the bar my dad owns, and I just built-up courage to ask her out one day while having a kidney stone." Vortex lied, knowing this was a better to tell a cover story than it was to tell the truth.
"Oh, my, that must have hurt like hell." Delila said as she looked Vortex up and down. "Seems strange YOU would get one, you seem to be in shape."
"Yeah, well, I eat a lot of salty, so with a lot of cranberry juice, I cleaned my kidneys thoroughly." Vortex said with a casual shrug.
As the two continued to talk, father and daughter sat in uncomfortable silence.
What should they talk about?
That Dick was correct?
That Ryan Slater was a bad person and that Jayjay should apologize for not listening?
These feelings swelled in Jayjay.
She had hoped to have Naruto and Vortex act as distractions to keep this from happening, but Naruto had left.
Jayjay wracked her brain, trying to find out what to talk about, when she realized something.
"Dad…"
"Yes, Jayjay?"
"Where is Dickie?" Jayjay asked in a calm, serious tone, contrasting Delila's and Vortex's tone.
Dick put his hands together, visibly trying to figure out his own words.
"After… you vanished, we found a facility for Dickie to live and be taken care of."
Jayjay bolted to her feet, hands on the table as she leaned over it.
"YOU DID WHAT!" Jayjay screamed. "WHY? OH, LET ME GUESS, YOU 'COULDN'T MAKE TIME TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR SON BECAUSE YOU'RE BUSY'?"
Meanwhile…
After grabbing pizza, Naruto sat in the car with Fuu, Shino, and Gaara, laughing their asses off at a stupid joke.
"But, for real, though, your parents let you come by with a cousin?" Fuu asked as she looked at the blonde. "I mean, didn't you say 'wait until summer'?"
"Surprise?" Naruto laughed out.
This stifled a new laugh.
"Oh, ho…" Shino chuckled as the laughter died down looking at his phone. "Oh, OH… ugh…"
"What's wrong?" Gaara asked as he leaned over.
"Ugh," Shino looked at Naruto. "Well, a mutual enemy of ours posted a new video."
"Who?" Naruto asked in confusion.
Fuu frowned.
"Really?" Fuu rolled her eyes and looked at Naruto. "Shino is talking about Hinata, remember how she moved out to Vegas? Well, while looking on Pornhub, we found… her videos."
Gaara purposely gagged, sticking two fingers in his mouth to 'Simulate' forced vomiting.
"Oh, okay…" Naruto said as he scratched his head.
"What? You not angry?" Shino asked, his turn being confused. "They humiliated you?"
"Well, I am happy now, so why harp on the past. Pass me another soda?" Naruto asked, willing to let sleeping dogs lie.
Las Vegas, Nevada…
Hinata sneezed.
She was at home, currently soaking in a nice bath, cleaning herself after another hard day's work.
Chapter 53, DONE!
Well, well, well, it seems Hinata is coming back, but in what way.
Hm, let's see next time.
Thank you, PLEASE READ, for the idea for Loona and Verosika talking. I agree, it was a missed opportunity, and probably would have been better if it was Loona/Jayjay talking after she bumped into Queen Bee, so I altered it to be this. Hope it works.

POLL: WHAT SHOULD THE GENDER OF STOLAS AND STELLA'S NEXT CHILD BE? Poll on biopage.
Jayjay and Dick are now at this weird argument over her brother, I wonder what happens next. Can they salvage this?
If you enjoyed this chapter, please leave a review, even if you hated it as it helps me become a better author.
