Story: UY First Impressions

Not entirely sure about this one, particularly the second half. I'm considering other ways to end it. If you would prefer it to go a different way, or think a different approach might be better please comment.

Edit: I've put up a new version which I think works better. Please share your thoughts!

When the weight of the whole world lies upon your shoulders, the responsibility must be crushing. Shinobu wasn’t remotely surprised that Ataru was so exhausted. All day, he would run after a cheating alien floozy like his life and freedom depended on it - probably not the best way to put it, but that <i>was</i> the situation he was in - and then the news would completely maul him for failing to catch up to her. Which didn’t seem fair. Nobody could catch her. She could fly! Hello! Anybody notice that little detail? Apparently not! The poor dear must be so stressed out, and right after she’d broken up with him. Again.

Yes, again. Theirs was such a strange relationship. Ataru was a complete pervert. He couldn’t stop himself from looking at a girl if his nuts were in a vice. The boy had such a bad habit for chasing skirt that when Shinobu had first heard that he had to save the world by grabbing a bikini-clad alien girl, she’d thought it would be in the bag. It was like saying, “Unless you, Tiger Mask, can win this wrestling match I shall end the world!” Grabbing hold of girls was just something Ataru did in his day-to-day life. Trick was. The girls he grabbed couldn’t fly!

That was one half of the relationship. The other was Shinobu. “Oh, Shinobu!” the other girls would sigh, “Why do you keep going back to that boy! He’s only going to disappoint you! Surely you can do better.” Well. It was because he was kinda cute, and he was nice. When he wasn’t staring at someone he shouldn’t be. Or making advances on her that she never ever once considered agreeing to, no sir, no how! But no, really, he was a nice boy! Funny and energetic, very perceptive and had excellent taste in… Things that Shinobu wasn’t interested in, like other girls and their figures! Nope. No interest in that. Take those booty shorts elsewhere, thank you, she’ll be having none of that here! And she certainly never wanted Ataru to look at her like that, which is why she dressed up sensibly. No bikinis for her, and… Sure, this skirt was the shortest one in her wardrobe, but she wasn’t wearing it to show Ataru her legs or anything like that! Cast the thought from your mind!

Truth was, Shinobu always felt she could change that boy. Get him to be a one-girl guy with her as the one girl. Some might call it a vicious cycle of jealousy and lust, but Shinobu didn’t see it that way. She was on a project. She was working on him, making it so that he might one day be able to settle into a normal relationship with her, and that was kind of why she was paying him a visit today. It was obvious that Ataru needed some comfort. Not that kind of comfort, no. Just… someone to be there for him after getting so close and still failing. Someone that understood his position, would let him embrace her. Let him have the opportunity to let out some of that stress… Not like that! No, no, no! Her intentions were innocent, and pure, and -

Where the hell was he, anyway?!

“Ooh, right there!” cooed a familiar voice. “That’s right! That’s the spot, right there!”

Shinobu frantically looked around. Where was that voice coming from?! It was kind of quiet, but - She could swear it was that half-dressed alien! Where the hell was she? And where was Ataru, for that matter?!

“You mean right here?” Ataru’s muffled voice said. “Yeah, you like that, don’t you?”

“Oh, yes! Your fingers are miracle workers! Oooh…”

Ataru’s closet was an innocent piece of furniture, but it found itself bearing the full force of Shinobu’s death gaze. Though it may not have been a sentient entity, it behaved out of self preservation and allowed its door to swing open and reveal the sub-space corridor hiding within. Shinobu charged into it like a rhino that had seen a red flag. Or was that a bull? Whatever. She was stampeding in there, muttering things under her breath. Violent things. Hateful things. Jealous things. How dare he. How <b>dare</b> he?! That boy was dead! Dead! Dead! Just as soon as she got her hands on him! To think! She’d been worried about him! Worried he might be stressing himself out! But no! This put a whole other dimension on their mutual exhaustion the other day! They’d shagged! All night! Ooh! Just wait until she got her hands around his throat! She was going to -

“So, have you rethought that whole ‘taking over the world’ thing?” Ataru asked. He was standing in place while Lum hovered just a little bit above him. Her boots were off, but the rest of her clothes were on. So were his clothes, for that matter. Ataru was giving her a foot rub.

“Mmm… I don’t know, we could use this kind of skill! We’d never even dreamed of this before! Say, who’s the cute girl over there?”

“Huh? Oh! That’s my girlfriend. Hi, Shinobu! Something wrong? You’ve got that look on your face like your brain is switching gears.”

Well, that’s because her brain <i>was</i> switching gears. This was not what she was expecting to see when she got through here. She’d been expecting to find Ataru being ridden by the alien cowgirl style, with her enthusiastically using her flying ability to enhance leverage. She’d been expecting - Well, to be honest she’d been expecting a wide variety of experimental positions based on the alien’s ability to fly. Not because she’d <i>wanted</i> to see that sort of thing, keep in mind. She was just disappointed because she’d built up the murderous rage and run into a brick wall of confusion. Ataru’s friendly greeting really threw her off as well. Where was the fear? Where was the terror? But the most important question was this:

“What the hell is going on here?!” Shinobu demanded. Even stomping her foot for good measure. That felt kind of good.

“Oh, your darling boyfriend has been negotiating for Earth’s future,” Lum said in a far too playful tone for Shinobu’s liking. “He’s made a few interesting points, but I’m afraid he’ll have to work a little bit harder if he wants to maintain your freedom.”

Shinobu glowered at the alien. Look at her. Floating there in barely anything at all, like she was on a trip to the beach. Virtually nothing left to the imagination. Showing off her toned stomach, her trim figure, hinting at the perfect formation of her breasts which must surely be as flawless as her legs. All the men must stop to drool over this alien babe, the hormonal idiots. Shinobu sniffed and wiped at the side of her mouth.

“So, this is what you’ve been up to? Negotiating with her to throw the match?”

“Pretty much,” Ataru said, flashing her a smile that made Shinobu shudder for absolutely no reason at all. “Only chance I have to catch her is if she lets me, pretty much.”

“Goodness,” Lum gasped. “Where are my manners! Oyuki, Benten! We have a guest! It appears Ataru’s girlfriend found the corridor!”

After a few moments, two more alien girls stepped out from another room and they were just about as bad as the oni girl. One of them gave off a kind of rough vibe, but that didn’t mean she had any kind of problem flaunting her body! The other seemed more refined and dignified, but still did appear to be insisting on wearing a crystal bikini. Sort of see through, making it bad enough but it was a body hugging one piece with a cut in the material that started between her well formed breasts then plunged down, down... Not that Shinobu was letting her gaze linger upon that pristine flesh, nor was she imagining at what the covered areas might actually look like! Nope! Not even crossing her mind!

Shinobu twitched a little bit at the realisation that Ataru had been sneaking off to meet with these sexy alien babes behind her back (and she only used that particular description from an entirely dispassionate point of view because these girls were, in no way at all, attractive to her personally). It rather turned around the idea of that foot rub, didn’t it? Not just trying to butter up the alien to make her throw in the towel, were we, Ataru?! No! You were trying to seduce her so you could have your wicked, wicked way with her! You were hoping she would spread those legs, those perfect, slender, smooth and enticing legs so you could fuck her and her friends with your ever ready dick! Shinobu could see it so easily in her mind, that distasteful image! Why, she absolutely had to sit down because the thought made her feel so thoroughly unwell. It was not at all appealing. No, sir! Not at all!

“Pleased to meet ya!” the biker chick slapped Shinobu on the back in what was probably intended as a friendly greeting. “Name’s Benten, this is Oyuki and you should know Lum already!”

It was a little bit weird how friendly these aliens were all acting. Ataru, at least, was backing away and taking a seat next to Shinobu while Lum pulled her boots back on. All eyes were on her.

“My name is Shinobu,” she said firmly. “Would someone please explain to me what’s going on here?!”

“Didn’t I just say?” Lum remarked, idly playing with a loose strand of her hair. Look at the way she was leaning back. Putting as much emphasis as possible on those breasts. She must be used to boys being putty in her hands. “Your boyfriend and I were negotiating a deal for Earth’s freedom.”

“Well, Ataru’s hardly the spokesperson for the whole planet,” Shinobu said. “And I expect you’re not for your own people, either. So, what could you possibly want from him that you couldn’t get by taking over anyway?”

“Nothing,” Lum simply replied. “That’s the problem he’s having. It’s fun watching him try to think of something, though.”

“Hmph!” Ataru grunted. “I’ll figure out something, just you watch!”

“Today was the closest you’ll ever get!” Lum harshly replied. “You will <b>not</b> get that close again.”

“I dunno,” Benten said. “Remember that time you guys got a little too confident in the Setsubun contest? Otherwise known as every year you lost? That boy’s got a better chance than you think!”

“The only time we ever lose is because you <i>cheat!</i>”

“Who needs to cheat when you guys get so damn sloppy?”

Shinobu slammed her hand down on the table, and let out a low growl. “Could we focus, please! Am I really supposed to believe that? I walk in on my boyfriend giving a foot rub to a scantily clad alien babe, and the very next thing that happens is that her two equally half-naked friends walk out of the next room! What kind of idiot do you take me for?!”

There was a heavy silence in the room as the three alien girls looked very carefully at her with quirked eyebrows and gears turning in their wicked, wicked heads. Ataru himself was conspicuously silent, which was hardly good evidence for his case.

“The human kind,” Lum finally said. “I’ll have you know that this…” she said, gesturing to her bikini “is the very height of fashion among Oni women, and Benten’s attire is perfectly appropriate for one of the Lucky Gods. The same goes for Oyuki as well!”

“Yeah, that’s right!” Benten sneered. “If anyone oughta be criticising fashion choices, we oughta be taking a look at yours!”

“It seems rather impractical,” Oyuki observed. “Poorly designed for ease of mobility and heat preservation in a species that surely requires it. I would say that it gives the impression that you intend to keep your body concealed, while deliberately attempting to entice attention to what lies beneath.”

“In other words,” Lum said, with a gleam in her eyes that made Shinobu’s suspicions rise higher still, “what you’re wearing is far more suggestive than what we’re wearing. It’s outright scandalous! Why, it’s outright insulting that you would suggest something so shameless!”

Shinobu’s mind was reeling by this point by the completely insane logic the three of them were attempting to peddle to her. Her clothes were the sexualy suggestive ones? <i>Hers?!</i> How ridiculous! The idea was absurd on the face of it, and yet… And yet, when confronted with completely insane trains of thought leading towards a baffling conclusion it’s very difficult to form any kind of coherent counterargument that didn’t sound completely stupid.

“Since you are in my home uninvited,” Oyuki said, “I will have to ask you to either wear something more appropriate, or to please leave.”

Okay. That much she could understand, and honestly she wasn’t sure about her chances in a situation like this. Lum could fly. Who knew what these other two were capable of? And given the way Ataru kept on glancing at the other girls then maybe if she stripped down it would give him something else to look at, which is what she would think if she were as hopeless a pervert as he was. No way was she doing something so completely shameless as that!

“You know, maybe you really will win after all,” Benten said. “I mean, if all humans are this cowardly, they don’t got a chance! I mean, it’s just us girls and your boyfriend, right? ’Less you really are a coward, huh?”

Ooh, she shouldn’t be listening to that anger in her. It was going to make her do something completely stupid. Like toss her blouse to the floor, revealing the lacy, sexy bra she typically wore underneath, or tossing her skirt to the ground and letting them all take a look at her sheer black thong. Both of which she wore for comfort reasons! Not because they made her feel sexy, and certainly not because she was trying on a daily basis to screw up the courage to get Ataru into bed!

“There!” Shinobu angrily spat as her skirt hit the floor. Damn her anger, anyway. “Satisfied?!”

“Careful, Oyuki, she might melt the room!” Benten whispered, but Shinobu caught it and gave her a bit of the death glare. It bounced off Benten unnoticed, save for the brief amusement it caused.



"Pinch me, I'm dreaming," Ataru mumbled. "No, on second thought let me sleep just a little longer. I have to see where this goes next."

“Hmm…” Lum thoughtfully tapped her lips. “I’ll tell you what… I want daily foot rubs and ten minutes with her. Alone. Give me that, and I’ll throw the game.”

1. Shinobu refuses point blank, not particularly liking the expression on Lum’s face.
2. Shinobu agrees, incorrectly believing that she can fend Lum off.
3. Ataru refuses… Unless he can watch. Or participate.
4. Something else
