Story: Ran's Craving

If Ran had a list of hobbies, then the top three would be planning, scheming and plotting. Go a little further down the list and you'd find conniving, drooling over Rei and then back to conspiring and trying to steal Lum's precious Darling...

Well that's what she was doing now. Sitting in her planning chair, drumming her fingers against each other while a truly wicked smile settled across her pretty face. It did not take much imagination to picture Ran deciding to steal Christmas with the sort of smile she was wearing. Ran had a new weapon in her arsenal, a new toy that she could abuse in her pursuit of vengeance, vendetta, revenge against a certain Oni girl... And now that she'd gotten certain things out of her system she wasn't getting distracted anymore by that hunky piece of man meat she'd been drooling over for the last however long.

“Uh, here’s your tea, Ra- ah, Mistress Ran.” Shinobu said, wearing a very skimpy looking outfit that resembled a french maid. Except it was made with the same sort of tiger striped cloth that a very handsome male Oni might wear. Not the sort that the girls might wear! No, no. The boys. It was distinctly male. Never mind that it was clearly designed for a girl's figure. A very nice figure that Shinobu was revealing to Ran right now.

"Good... Good!" Ran cackled to herself. She barely seemed to be paying the girl any mind at all. She took a sip of the tea. Dainty, in a way that didn't quite fit with the wicked image she was portraying. "Oh goodness me, li'l Shinobu has mastered making tea with Ran's alien teaset!"

"Thank you mistress," Shinobu curtseyed, then bounced a little on her heel to make her boobs jiggle.

"Now stop being so cute so that Ran can concentrate on her revenge scheme!" Ran yelled, face twisting up into a rather demonic visage that one would only believe could come from a doll like face such as hers if you'd known Ran for, say, about five minutes.

Shinobu was not greatly affected by Ran’s sudden outburst, she had known Ran for well over a year by this point. And Shinobu was not quite thirsting for Pink Sugar yet. So she simply pulled out a paper bag and put it over her head. “This better?”

It did actually. Though not for the reasons Shinobu might have expected. Ran fixed her gaze upon the body in front of her. A cute girl with curves in the right places. Wearing a tiger striped cloth over her revealing <I>slutty</i> body. After a moment Ran let out a truly guttural grunt.

"Come over here," Ran demanded. Her voice was low and the furthest from cute that you could imagine. Shinobu meekly approached, taking care to not bump into anything. "Sit in my lap," Ran commanded, and Shinobu immediately obeyed. "Good girl. Good girl. Now, stay there no matter what I do. Or else."

Her fingers went a-walking along Shinobu's thighs. Index finger, middle finger, index finger, middle finger. Creeping along, creeping along. So far as Ran was concerned this wasn't play. It was punishment. Oh yes. Punishment. For a naughty, naughty whore of a maid who reminded her of a certain green haired nuisance. The fact that the outfit her pet maid was wearing was entirely Ran’s creation was immaterial. Vengeance is the important thing!

To Ran's immense satisfaction, she found that Shinobu was already dripping wet. Well then. That made things nice and simple didn't it?

"Do you like this?" Ran asked. "Being addicted to Pink Sugar? Savouring that taste. Knowing that I am your only truly reliable source?"

"Ah! I love it!" Shinobu gasped. Heh. And Ran wasn't even getting started yet. Yet here Shinobu was, loving it with all her heart. It would be fun. Sooooo much fun to have Lum sitting where Shinobu was now. Squirming and trying to push her hips down further, to get even more of Ran's fingers inside of her.

But Ran was a petty sort. Ran was a sadist at heart. Ohohoho... It wouldn't be enough to have Lum broken before her. No, no. Ran knew all too well that what she had broken was Shinobu's body. Broken it in. Made her admit what she wanted. First things first Ran wanted to break something else of Lum's.

Her spirit! It must be shattered! If she got Lum hooked then that would break her body more speedily than it would break her spirit. Therefore the logical next move she should take is...

"So Shinobu," Ran asked without hiding even a single trace of the sadism in her voice. "It would be pretty selfish of us to keep Pink Sugar to ourselves, right?” She traced the edge of Shinobu’s thighs as she spoke. “Such a wonderful, wonderful feeling to have it flowing through our bodies! We should share it out, don't you think?"

Shinobu gurgled unintelligibly in response. Oh dear. Oh dear, that wouldn't do at all. What a naughty, naughty slave she was being. Ah, but if anything this cemented the idea in Ran's mind. She'd been thinking so, so hard about how to punish Lum when she should have been thinking about keeping up her bargain with Ataru: Get him other girls to keep under their thumb!

A bit too risky to go for Benten or Oyuki. Best to go for one of the human girls. Heh. Hehehehe! Oooh, how satisfying it would be! Seeing that haughty nurse/priestess Sakura on her hands and knees, tongue out the side of her mouth as she crawled towards Ataru's dick. Or that butch crossdresser who had tricked her into going out on a date begging and pleading for another taste of that sweet, sweet nectar of life.

And then once they were all pumped up with Pink Sugar they'd crawl into bed with Ran. They'd serve her on hand and foot, much the same way Shinobu was. Dressed up in these tiger print maid uniforms. And long, flowing green wigs with little horns affixed to them. Mmm... Yeah... that's the stuff. It would be so humiliating for them. So very, very...

"Oh, I'm bisexual," Ran realised as Shinobu came all over her fingers. "Well, I guess... I'd better enjoy myself as much as I can."

“Yo-ah… j-just realized that!?” Shinobu managed to gasp out post-orgasm.

"No talking back!" Ran warned. "Now... I want to hear some ideas about how I can get me some priestess and/or crossdresser booty. Or I'll start doing things to your butt that crawled out of your deepest, darkest nightmares."

The worst part about becoming Ran’s bitch, Shinobu realized, was that there was fairly notable part of her mind that wanted to disobey Ran so she could follow through on that threat. “Trying to get M-Miss Sakura would.. Ah… I think be hard? She has a fiance and is really tough!”

Ran snapped her fingers, and a robotic hand popped out with a tube attached to a bottle of some glowing liquid. “Cleaning it first~” She said with a nasty smile. “Give me some ideas Shinobu~”

Wh-what was she going to do with that... and... and was that a feather duster as well? Shinobu's mind went to some strange places. Strange, dark, glorious places.

"Grk! We-well, maybe if we made it look like he was cheating on her, she'll break off the engagement!" Shinobu suggested. "Um! She’s a nurse, something about CPR?” Shinobu just threw out some ideas.“I-I know! H-how about you pretend to almost drown-”

“I can’t drown.” Ran said, a freshly gloved finger sliding that glowing tube underneath Shinobu’s rear.

“Pretend!” Shinobu said, “Miss Sakura doesn’t know your amazing alien anatomy!”

"But Lum would! She'd see through it in an instant." Then Ran stopped. "Actually... She'd think I was trying to drain Darling and work to keep him away. If you kept the other boys away as well, then it's only natural that Sakura would fall into our trap." Ran smirked. "And even if not her, another pretty girl wouldn't be a bad consolation prize... More slaves to Pink Sugar makes it easier to get more slaves, right?"

“I guess, I mean…” Shinobu suddenly felt a crisis of conscience. Did she really want to make more girls addicted like she was? To give up all their dignity to love a crazy person with all her heart because said crazy lady makes her feel <b>better than she had ever felt before in her life?</b>

Ran kissed Shinobu’s ear and gave her a lick of Punk Sugar.

“Yes! Oh god yes they all need to know how amazing it is!” Shinobu cried out, her hips bucking forward and she orgasmed <b>again</b> without Ran even touching her pussy or her ass. "It would be selfish to keep this to myself!"

"Mmm, that's more like it," Ran whispered. "Now. The crossdresser. She seems a little bit gay to me already so she shouldn't be too hard."

"Ugh... Her dad is super annoying..." Shinobu slurred out, feeling genuinely drowsy from even that tiny hit of the good stuff. "He'll be on your ass the second he thinks something weird is up."

“Well maybe we’ll just have to <b>take care of him permanently</b> won’t we?”

Honestly even if Shinobu hadn’t become Ran’s pet due to alien drug energy addiction Ran implying they murder Mr. Fujinami would have gotten some consideration from her. As it was, the most she could do was nod her head with eyes glazed over and a dopey grin upon her face.

"Rigel Seven is always looking for new specimens to study," Ran sniffed. "Those lunatics are obsessed with studying all manner of 'lower life forms', they'll probably pay a hefty sum for him. After that... I'll leave it up to you to get little miss butch hooked. In the meantime..."

Ran popped the paper bag back on Shinobu's head and pushed her off to the floor. At some point during the endeavor she had scribbled on a very crudely drawn face with fangs sticking out of its mouth and a pair of horns on top of it.

"Dance for my amusement," Ran said, leaning back in her chair. "And make sure to add 'tcha' to the end of every other sentence, and do your best to sound like a bit of an airhead."

<hr>

Other people in the world weren't quite having as much fun this morning as Ran and Shinobu were, it must be said. Which is kind of a shame, everyone might be a bit more of a morning person if they all woke up with that kind of fun going on.

"That was my breakfast!"

"Ah, one should not be so hasty to break a fast. It is good for the soul to deny oneself the pleasures of the flesh."

"Darling! Would you like to share breakfast with me instead?"

Ask Ataru Moroboshi to point to the bane of his existence, and he'd have to seriously consider which one of these two was worse. On the one hand, Lum was always up in his business and getting in his way. On the other, Cherry did much the same with about as much consistency. Both of them introduced weirdness into his life at a fairly consistent rate.

For the first time in a long time Ataru honestly had to say that Lum was less annoying. If only by virtue of the fact that she was a very hot girl who regularly went around in skimpy outfits. Not that he'd ever tell her that. Oh boy, would he be sure not to tell her that! Sure way to the old ball and chain trap! Especially now that Ran and Shinobu both seemed to be in love with him! (They were in love with his dick, but Ataru couldn't tell the difference yet, if ever.)

By contrast Cherry was a shriveled old man whose face was the single most frightening thing he saw on most days. And nights, for when it haunted his nightmares.

Onto a more pleasant topic... His libido had been satisfied for the first time ever fairly recently. That kind of thing had an effect on even him. It was kind of a shame. Lum was right there. She'd go for it. In the early days she'd been all but spreading her legs for him.When that didn't work she'd switched tactics, but somehow he felt that if he said the word she'd be under the sheets in a second flat.

"Young man, it is rude to stare at a young woman with such blatant lust!"

Cue Cherry's face filling his vision, replacing the sight of Lum's trim waist. And there's his libido shot for, oh say the next two hours. Most regular guys a shock like that would be it for about a year. Many years later researchers for the Japanese Government would pin the blame on him for a good half of their nations declining birth rate . Luckily for Ataru he was randier than a finely made martini. His libido was like the hydra, you could cut off as many heads as you like but it'll only come back worse.

“You must restrain yourself, otherwise I fear for your future. Some dark force will corrupt you and everyone you love!”

Meanwhile, Lum was sensing an opportunity arising. An opportunity that was being killed stone cold dead by this old interfering monk! She leaned out the window and loudly said "oh look, there's an errant watermelon rolling down the street! It must be possessed by a ghost."

The old man disappeared so quickly you'd think that he was a ghost. Funny thing thought, Ataru's mother had also vanished. Woman had a thing for watermelons that Lum didn't think she'd ever understand.

Anyway, that didn't matter much. Lum casually drifted over towards Ataru and soon had him in a hug from behind.

"Darling! Were you staring at me?" she asked. "You always get so jealous when Rei shows up. It's so cute!"

"The way girls fawn over the brainless cow, any guy'd be jealous..." Ataru grumbled, pointedly ignoring the warmth of Lum's stomach. Pressed against the side of his head. "Get off me! Can't you see I'm trying to eat breakfast?"

"Cherry already stole it," Lum said. Then slapped her hand over her mouth.

"I don't steal," Cherry said from atop a floating watermelon. "People graciously offer me food as thanks for my divine intervention and sage wisdom."

“I never offered you anything!” Ataru said.

“You’ve given me more food than I can count, and I thank you for those offerings to this humble monk.” Cherry said, and Ataru wished he could strangle him. Alas, such a thing was beyond his ability for he could not identify where this goblin's neck was. "You would do well to heed my advice. Be wary of the demon who seeks to suck your energy away. You think she does you a service, but I can assure you that it is anything but."

"You heard him," Ataru said to Lum "Better keep away from me..." Naturally this earned him a little playful shock that left him a twitching mess for about ten seconds or so on the kitchen floor.

"Actually you'd be better off spending the rest of your days with this demon from beyond the stars," Cherry continued. "I see many blissful days if you only leave this Earth behind and wander the heavens arm in arm."

Yeah, whatever. Ataru wasn't paying him any mind. He grabbed a slice of ghost melon and slung his bag over his shoulder, then went on out. Maybe if he was lucky he could get Ran or Shinobu to blow him again.

"So... what would I have to do to get him wandering the heavens with me?" Lum innocently asked.

"Ah, you need only stick to him closely no matter what," Cherry said, then began to pray. "Deny yourself the pleasures of the flesh, and you shall know bliss eternal. That is my advice. By the way, his mother seemed to be frantically searching for something out in the street. If you happen to see it please let her know."

Alas, neither of them would heed that annoying monk's advice. Because as right as he usually was, he was seriously the most unbelievably irritating person to have around that it was basically impossible to follow his advice in any serious capacity.

1. During swim class, Ran begins to 'drown' as planned. The plan goes off without a hitch.
2. Haha, are you kidding? As if a plan in this setting is ever going to work first time.
3. Instead of Sakura, Ran decides to bring Ryuunosuke on team.
4. Ataru derails things, as usual, by being too pushy for Ran and Shinobu.
5. Something else
