Benten wasn't the kinda chick to giggle or titter or any of that refined girly bullshit. She outright guffawed when Shinobu turned an even brighter crimson than she was already and the brand new perverted girl was stumbling around for words and finding nothing but "ums" or "ahs". Benten lifted her leg out of the furo and let it sit straight up in the air so the water would trickle down it. This seemed to have a calming, mesmerising effect on the girl. Just as intended.
"Come on now," Benten said, reaching up to run her hands down her rather splendidly fit leg. "What's the point in being a hot piece of ass if you can't have some fun in private?"
Shinobu clung the towel a little bit closer to herself. Ooh, so adorable! So cute! She could eat this Earth girl alive, then probably get eaten herself. After all, the shy ones always turned out to be the most fun in the end.
"But we're not in private," Shinobu whispered. "We're at Ataru's place, and he has guests who might hear us if we start -" Benten sat up and began running her fingers in circles around her nipples, carefully maintaining eye contact and not letting a single drop of her hunger go to waste in this gaze. Shinobu trailed off, returning the same hungry expression, licking her lips and letting the towel drop down her body as though she forgot it was there in the first place. "Fucking like animals in heat they might see us. Hear us. Know what we're doing." She shuddered. Attagirl!
"You're suppressing an exhibitionist fetish," Benten suggested. When Shinobu attempted to object, Benten reached a leg up and pressed her big toe against Shinobu's lips. "That ain't healthy. Y'know? Trying to pretend you are what you ain't is only gonna make it harder for ya in the end. Don't it excite ya knowing they could catch us any moment?"
"N-... No..." Shinobu protested in between planting kisses on Benten's toes, one by one. Reflexively. Like with the towel, not even aware she was doing it. "If - If they walked in on us right now, I'd just <i>die</i>! Mmmm..." Now she was alternating between kissing Benten's ankle and licking it. "It would be so... <b>embarrassing</b>! I simply *smooch* couldn't."
Sure you couldn't, Benten thought while using the underside of her foot to stroke the budding pervert's cheek. Where's the fun pretending to be a prude when you can have such a better time this way? Embrace the perversion. Go on. No need to fight it, no need to pretend, no need to -
"Giiiirls!" Ataru's voice called from just outside the room. The door was pushed open, and Ataru crawled in like a worm. A worm with a stupid face and the stamina of a demigod, but that was hardly the point. "Come quick, you don't wanna miss - Hello? Did I miss something?"
Shinobu looked down and blinked. Creeping awareness set in that at this very moment she had Benten's little toe nestled comfortably between her teeth, and that she was completely, totally naked. She pulled away. Grabbed the bucket, filled it to the brim and dumped cold water all over both Ataru's face, and Benten's hopes of getting laid before the day was out. Of course her bad luck for the day would keep her from getting lucky. Dammit, just when she was really getting in the mood...
"Knock before entering a bathroom with girls in it!" Shinobu admonished, wagging finger and all. "What could possibly be so important that you'd barge in all of a sudden like this? Is someone hurt?" Ataru shook his head. "Are we in danger?" Ataru shook his head again. She reached down, tweaked his ears and then lifted him upright. "Then tell me, <i>darling, beloved</i>, what could possibly make you do something so impolite? I can't think of anything in this world that -"
"Sakura's being seduced by a half-naked succubus!"
"- Could keep me from making a home video of that for later use," Shinobu finished, dropping the boy, then deftly kicking up her towel and wrapping it around herself. "Benten, be a dear and untie Ataru, 'kay? Thanks! Back in a tick, I can't miss this."
You know, Benten also really wanted to see that. Which made the whole thing all the more tragic for her. If she went then something would ruin it. Either she'd be prevented or things would go awry, or something unforeseeable and somehow even worse... Stubborn a gal as she might be, even she had to admit when she was beat and this bad luck curse sure had her beat!
"Well, crapbaskets," Benten sulked in the furo. "Hell, let me see that knot. Knowing my luck, you'll do something to turn me on even more and they'll turn out to be magical ropes that tie me up instead so I can't even frig myself off. And wipe that dumb grin off your face!"
"Sorry, can't help it," Ataru said, openly leering at her naked, dripping wet body. Ugh. Why couldn't Shinobu be so open about her perverted tendencies? "My life of late has been weirdly awesome. I almost can't wait to see where it goes next!"
<hr>
Unknown to the occupants, there was a terse gathering outside the Moroboshi residence. Three groups of (mostly) boys trying to keep their heads down and pretend the others weren't there. Each of them wearing a particular kind of signalling clothing: A tiger-print headband, a chain necklace, a snowflake-print armband... You get the idea.
"So," coughed one of the guys wearing a chain necklace. "What brings you guys to this neck of the woods?"
"Nothing," answered a girl wearing a snowflake-print armband. She kicked a can, pretending to be innocent when she clearly was anything but. "Just going for a walk, you know?"
"Same here!" answered a boy wearing a tiger-print headband. "Just... Going for a walk. Say, isn't that where that world-famous buffoon Ataru Moroboshi lives?"
"It surely is!" said another of the guys wearing a chain necklace. "Golly gee!" he gasped, in a way that nobody actually did except in parodies, or when making a poor attempt at pretending to be naive and surprised. "The same guy that got into a race with that alien girl and saved humanity."
"Wow, to think we live in the same neighborhood as a guy that famous."
"Kind of makes you want to ring the doorbell, maybe ask for an autograph."
And then things became silent. Tersely silent as each group was thinking the same kinds of things: I can meet an alien babe if I watch this place long enough! All they had to do was wait, wait and wait! They'd appear, no doubt about it. In the fullness of time. Patience would be rewarded. Pictures would be taken, immortalising the moment forever.
"You know," one of the tiger-print-wearing boys said around the drool pooling out of his mouth. "That Lum girl sure was -"
"Skanky!" yelled a girl's voice.
"Huh? Who said that?"
The Stormtrooper's ire was roused, and they stared around at the other two groups, many of whom were stifling chuckles, or at the very least were avoiding direct eye contact. The leader of the Stormtroopers opened their mouth to demand again to know who had said that, when all of a sudden a girl's voice said, "At least she's not a cold fish like a certain Neptunian!"
"Huuuuh?! You dare insult a regal goddess so blatantly?!"
And then, a girl that sounded suspiciously similar to the other two piped up. "The only reason that biker babe wears so little clothing is to keep herself from being mistaken for a boy."
"That's it! Gloves are off! You punks are dead meat!"
And so, a brawl ensued as a rivalry kicked off, the participants oblivious to the idle observations of a certain carrier car being hauled off down the street by four burly men wearing dark clothes and even darker masks. Within that carriage was a rather terrible young woman watching the brawl with increasing amusement.
"Mmm, those commoners..." she sighed, rubbing the sides of her neck. "They're so easy to manipulate, so easy to control. So easy to incite into a violent, bloody brawl." She stopped a moment at the sight of that one boy getting a rather nasty-looking uppercut, right under his jaw. A whimper of delight filled her personal transport and she sucked on her fingers. "If only I knew how to express this feeling building up inside of me. The violence isn't enough anymore... I need something else now. Something more... chaotic."
- Sakura is desperate for help. Thinks Shinobu is going to give it. Is disappointed, but the feeling fades.
- Ryu is trying on pretty, frilly dresses.
- Benten's bad luck somehow makes things worse for everyone.
- Sakura is able to escape the demon and tries to hide.
- Something else
Heh, good one, Benten's bad luck strikes again! I take it the "terrible young woman" was none other than our favorite lovely sadist, Ryoko Mendo? And the three groups gathering outside the Moroboshi residence reminded me of the People's Front of Judea and the Judean People's Front fighting each other along with the Campaign For A Free Galilee in "Life of Brian."
