You've heard the old Chinese curse 'may you live in interesting times'. Well, Shinobu had long since taken it to heart. She was a plain, ordinary girl (who could bench press a small car) who wanted to live a plain, ordinary and boring life. None of that interesting wackiness thanks, we're full. Ataru's antics were one thing. Lum was a step in the wrong direction. Then it was like a dam burst and she was left drowning in 'interesting'.
This little transformation wand from a potential future was - to say the least - one of the most interesting things she'd acquired of late. It had definitely transformed her just then. It had given her honest to goodness super powers. It had also changed her clothing into something a lot less, ahem, covering than she'd normally enjoy but that was neither here nor there.
Magical Girls were supposed to stay in comics and cartoons! Not become real! (Shinobu had once thought the same thing about aliens.)
"Maybe I should throw this away," she pondered. Then imagined what might happen if some little kid found it. Cue involuntary shudder. No, no. Throwing it away was a really bad idea. In which case she should look after it until she found a way to dispose of it safely.
The best thing for her to do would be to simply go about her everyday life with this thing tucked safely in her back pocket, where she'd never ever use it because she was a good and responsible girl that would never give in to the immature urge to be a superpowered vigilante.
Of course, she says that while being unaware of the fact that the pen being in her possession was causing a paradox. The universe likes paradox even less than it does vacuums. Not to mention that Ataru's tomfoolery with the future was making his harem increasingly likely to be the fated future already...
"Meowwwww!" a cat mewled at the exact right time to ensure that Shinobu - and Shinobu alone - heard it. She made the mistake of looking up at the thing. It looked back with big bright innocent eyes. It reached out a paw towards her...
"How did you even get up there?" Shinobu wondered aloud. "There's no branches low enough for me to grab onto..."
She looked around. Nobody else in the street. Well... Look at the poor thing. It was shivering and wet and reaching out a paw towards her. Okay, okay! She wasn't made of stone! Shinobu pulled the pen out and held it aloft.
"Harem sparkle change!"
Cue the transformation lightshow, and she was in this silly outfit again. Ugh, the ribbons around the chest were easily the worst part. She almost didn't mind the ridiculously short skirt compared to that. Something about the skimpy ribbons was almost worse than being nude.
"Meowwww!" the cat mewled pathetically.
"Don't worry kitty! Sparkling Harem Girl Shinochan is a protector of pussy everywhere!"
Ooh, but she was glad nobody heard her say that. If anyone had, she'd never be able to live it down! Anyway. In this form she could fly. So up she went. The cat jumped into her arms and licked her face. Then down she went, mindful of the fact that even if someone had been underneath they wouldn't have been able to see anything under her skirt. Because magic. Then the cat licked her cheek again, hopped off and dashed down the street.
"Sparkling Harem Girl Shinochan has saved the day again!" she said, almost in spite of herself. Shinobu found herself adopting a cutesy salute, and then saying "Now that cat can freely chase all the tail he wants! Exactly like my Darling Master Ata- Ordinary Girl Shinobu!"
The magic vanished and she was back in her normal clothes. Shinobu stumbled and put her hand against the tree, then took deep sucking breaths. Whoo boy! That magic sure did a fine job of worming its way into her head just then. It was almost unsettling how good that had felt right then, how right it was to quip about being part of Ataru's harem...
Which made her even more determined not to get rid of the pen. If it could do that to her, what might it do to someone unaware of its magical power? What might it do if a girl with no experience in weirdness picked it up and used it? They might fall in love with the idea of sharing Ataru among a dozen or so super sexy girls. Cue nervous gulp. She'd better be careful with this herself for that matter. If she used it too much she might give in -
"Help! Purse snatcher!"
Shinobu turned around to look in spite of herself. A young man in a balaclava had grabbed an elderly woman's purse, and was dashing off just opposite her. The weight of the pen still rested in her hand. Well... Maybe if she used it once or twice to help people out, that wouldn't be a bad thing. Would it?
<hr>
Life was wonderful. Wasn't it? The things you can experience, the lessons you can learn. Sakura had long since felt this way, and she'd certainly started feeling like this when her disease spirits had undergone their initial exorcism at the hands of her new lover, Ataru Moroboshi.
On getting home she'd enjoyed herself walking around naked. Taking a bath and letting the water make her skin glisten and radiant. She felt... powerful. Alive in a way that she'd never felt before. It was strange. Now that she was an unabashed, unrepentant pervert you would think that her mind would have been more focused on sex.
But no. If anything she felt more in tune with the world around her than she'd ever felt before. Maybe a result of their tinkering with destiny?
"I should purchase a harem girl outfit," she said to herself. Sakura spun around in her bedroom, and performed a small imitation of a belly dance. This somehow resulted in her cartwheeling over and landing on her back. Don't ask, you're better off not knowing. "And get belly dancing lessons too."
All this energy! Sakura was feeling properly pent up. Ooh, she didn't want to have to wait until she got her chance for another roll in the hay with that boy! And then once he was a man...
Inspiration struck out of nowhere. Of course! While it was true enough that destiny itself was in favour of that wonderful future, who was to say she couldn't push for that future to happen a little bit faster? Why not? Pretty much anything she did wouldn't go against fate, only help it.
And so Sakura retrieved a pen and some paper to write on. No clothing, mind. She sat on her chair as naked as the day she was born and started writing out a list. Which girls should be part of Ataru's harem? Once she'd set that out, she could start pushing their destinies in a more interesting direction.
<hr>
It had been created tens of thousands of years ago, during an ancient sorceror's attempt to destroy the world. A band of plucky heroes had united, defeating that sorceror in his moment of triumph and sealed it away at the very bottom of a lake.
Ever since then it had been stuck in its seal with a bad TV that could only get two channels and one of them was the shopping network. Which it couldn't use lacking a phone or home address. It did have the means to pay though. You know that junk mail offering credit cards? He'd been able to sign up for them. Couldn't spend them on anything, but he had them nonetheless.
In any event. On this fateful day his seal had finally been broken. Yes, those heroes thought they had been so clever. Setting up a seal that could only be broken by impossible means.
"When a Princess of this land bears clothing from the other side of the world, and the unluckiest man experiences tremendous fortune. Under these conditions would he be set free."
Well, the ancient monster offered up its thanks to Ryoko Mendo and Ataru Moroboshi. Whoever they may be, they'd ensured its freedom! It rose up from the lake and let loose a mighty roar, ready to lay waste to the land. The world's end had been put off for too long! He might have spared the world yesterday but it turned out that really cool cooking implement he'd seen on the home shopping network had run out of stock. Therefore: No mercy!
It sent out a limb that's not quite an arm and not quite a tentacle, and thrashed it against the water, sending several boats flying. The monster laughs as it appreciates the sight of puny mortals in the midst of mortal terror. Hah! If only they had purchased the 'home jetpack' while it was on sale, they might be able to save themselves!
"Oh damn it. Harem Sparkle Shinochan!"
Imagine the monster's surprise when a bright dazzling (and somehow sexual) light blinded it for a moment. The next thing it knew the boats had been caught by some slut in a weird ribbon tube top and a skirt that defied panty shots no matter what physics demanded.
"Ten times in as many minutes!" the girl yelled. "Can we stop escalating please? This is getting fun - I mean, annoying!"
Huh. Well, that girl was unexpectedly loud. Or... no, she was somehow talking using a magical effect. That was why she was seeming that much louder. Well, no matter. She was a tiny little thing compared to how big the monster was. It would be no trouble at all to reach out and squish her flat.
"It's getting to the point where this is actually starting to feel pretty comfortable," the girl complained. "That's not a good sign, right? It probably means this magic is creeping into my head!"
Which meant that soon she’d be… be like that crazy future her! Draped over Ataru and then fighting weird demons in skimpy outfits!
All she saw was a large shadow looming over her. The magical girl clutched the sides of her head, then lashed out and accidentally killed a world ender while screaming about the idea of giving in to that terrible... terrible...
"Ahhhh I just killed a demon while dressed up like this!" Shinobu wailed.
But then imagine her surprise when she hears applause start a little behind her. Shinobu turned around and found that she was indeed being applauded by steadily increasing numbers of people. Applauding her for saving them all from a giant monster.
"Ehhh, it wasn't a big deal or anything," she said sheepishly rubbing the back of her head. Oh gosh She'd only transformed because that thing was hurting a lot of people, and she knew she had the power to stop it cold. This attention! It felt... kind of nice. For a moment there she even forgot what she was wearing in front of them all.
"What's your name?" someone asked.
"I'm the brand new Magical Girl to hit the scene!" Shinobu said, unconsciously raising her hands up above her head. She thrust out her belly and set her legs just <i>so</i>. "Sparkling Harem Girl Shinochan has hit the scene! My wonderful Master has given me the power to save the world from evil!"
It was only later on at home once the rush of being cheered on faded that Shinobu would realise what she'd said and what she'd felt in that moment. She'd then spend the next ten minutes screaming into a pillow. But her dreams that night would be filled with dancing magical harem girls annihilating monsters left and right...
- Ataru continues seducing Ryoko
- Ataru heads away from the Mendos and starts working his magic on another girl.
- Sakura has made her choice. She's hellbent on adding to Ataru's harem. Where to start...
- Lum has recovered from her experience with the lego. But she's not recovered from the threesome she had with Ataru and Benten.
- Something else
