CHAPTER 2 — PART 3: IF YOU LIKE OLDER WOMEN, RAISE YOUR HAND!

Katsumi stood outside the gym infirmary, her back pressed against the door as she thought about the sparring match. But her thoughts were shattered like glass by the noises coming from inside.

"Gentle... Reina..."

"Is it your first time~?"

EHHH!?

Katsumi immediately leaned against the door and listened closely.

Wait... this is...

"Relax, baby~ I know what I'm doing~"

"Nghh~..."

D—Did Yami just... moan!? Katsumi's face turned red, steam practically coming out of her ears.

Orime walked by and noticed Katsumi. With a curious look, she walked up and asked, "What are you doing, Katsumi-san?"

Katsumi shushed her and made a little gesture, telling her to listen.

"Hmmm...~ It burns..."

Orime flinched, then leaned against the door with Katsumi and listened too.

"Look at you~ Taking it like the good boy you are~."

Orime also turned bright red, steam oozing out of her nose.

"Reina... I can't... It's too much..."

There was a lot of rustling, a lot of weird noises, and both Katsumi and Orime assumed something lewd was happening.

But then—

Bam!

The door suddenly opened by itself. It seemed the weight of both girls had forced it open.

Katsumi and Orime looked up at us, expecting to see something shocking, but instead they found Reina tending to my arm. She was massaging it and putting ointment on it to ease the pain.

"Oh my~ We have snoopers around~ Did you expect something else~?" Reina cooed playfully.

The silence was heavy.

"Whatever you were imagining isn't safe to do here~ I'd rather do it at home~ In private~ With no prying eyes, and no snooping girls wanting to see spicy things~."

"W—What are you saying, Reina!" I blushed hard.

"What I'm saying is... watch your back, Yami~ I might take a bite very soon~."

I flinched, and my heart started racing.

"Look at you~ Already dancing in my hands~ I know you want this~ Just say the word and I'll give you everything you want~."

"D—Don't listen to her, Yami! She's trying to groom you!" Katsumi was the only reasonable one. She was the one who would keep me in check...

FUUUUUCKKKK!!!!! I WANT THIS SO BAD!!!!

RAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

It took everything in me to refuse her.

Everything...

The man in me shook his head in disappointment, and even an image of my dad shook his head too, like I had let him down.

Forgive me, father... I failed you as a man...

"Don't worry, Yami~ I'll wait for as long as you want~."

That swift comment made me look up at Reina.

"W—Wait, what!? You would... wait for me?"

"Yeah, until you feel ready for a big leap~."

"Th-That's... actually sweet of you..."

Katsumi gritted her teeth as this strange relationship unfolded before her eyes.

Why did she feel a lump in her chest? It felt as if she was losing something precious.

Her rough hand clutched her chest as she wondered what this meant.

Reina's sharp eyes caught Katsumi's reaction, and her only answer was a teasing smirk.

"Now I get it~ It seems we're rivals~."

What did she mean by that...? I didn't get it, but I figured rivalry was fine.

"E—EHHH!?" The azure tomboy flinched at Reina's words, her cheeks turning a nice pink.

Katsumi did not want that gothic chick to steal Yami from her. That was the real reason she was against Reina...

And the tomboy knew it in her heart.

Still, Reina was definitely grooming yours truly.

"I... I won't lose!" she blurted out, surprising even herself.

Katsumi had finally met someone she could relate to. They had similar tastes, and Yami seemed so... handsomely kind. Even though he was scrawny, he had way too much strength and potential.

They could both grow strong together. They could both share their struggles, wrapped in a cocoon of safety and comfort...

"Heheh~ Challenge accepted. I won't lose either."

Orime just frowned at her sister.

"Geez... that's enough love talk for me... can we go home? It's really late!"

"Fine, fine. Let's get some pizza for dinner."

"No way! I'm on a diet! I'm not the one with an amazing metabolism!"

"Alright! Sushi it is!"

The mention of delicious food made my stomach make a funny noise, and that only made me more embarrassed.

"Yami, you're coming with us~."

"R—Really? I wouldn't want to intrude..."

"Come on, come on~ Let's go eat together, Yami~."

Reina locked my head between her plump mounds.

"Waaah~~~"

I was being choked! And the smell... sweet yet salty... bliss...

"You too, little tomboy. We're all training together, so come eat with us." Reina grinned.

"M—Me too? I... well... alright."

Katsumi gave in as well.

The next thing, we were all inside a restaurant, eating sushi.

"Think of the possibilities, Yami~! With your incredible speed, you're already powerful, but imagine having freakish strength; you would punch a hole through a Blighted Brutus."

"That sounds like a great plan; maybe my sword swings could do more damage..."

"Oh, absolutely~ Your slashes would level up; you could overpower your opponent in a clash."

"In that case... train me, Reina. I want to be your student!"

Reina held her face in ecstasy, making everyone flinch.

Reina was so happy; nobody in her life had asked her to train them. She would just "pick" people, in terms of better words... kidnap, but that's besides the point.

The gothic chick began giggling creepily, even scaring Orime, "What the... I have never seen Reina-nee like this..."

"Is that normal... Orime-san? She's giving me the creeps..." Katsumi gulped.

"Very well~! Yami~ I shall train you, and make you incredibly strong, even stronger than these two ladies over here~."

"What? I won't let Yami-kun outshine me~."

"Yeah! Me neither! He is my rival after all!"

"We'll see about that~ Yami will wipe the floor with both of you~."

"I appreciate the confidence in me. I won't fail you, Reina." I gave her a gentle smile.

The gothic mommy suddenly leaned in and fixed a black leather choker on my neck.

My expression went from confused to shocked, and finally to secondhand embarrassment.

"Ummm... what's this for?" My voice went a few octaves up.

"A mark~ Everyone will know who you belong to~."

Holy crap baskets... was she those rare dominant gothic types? She's like a rare shiny... never in my 16 years would I have expected this...

"Hey!! You can't just claim him like that!!"

"Oh, I can! I won't let anyone else train him!!"

Hah... that's what she meant? Boo...

"Wait... train... him? So that's what it means..." Katsumi sighed in relief.

"Oh~? Then what did you think it meant~?"

"Nothing!! Forget about it!!"

"Yami~" Reina took my attention by saying my name affectionately, making me blush a bit.

"Y—Yes?"

"Since I'm your personal trainer, you will stay with us until I complete your training, no arguing."

"Stay!? At your place!?"

She just chuckled slowly and sensually at me, enjoying my reaction. "Indeed~ I want to keep tabs on your progress. I'm quite strict and harsh when it comes to my training, so are you willing to go far with me? Tell me, why is it that you want to get stronger?"

Her question came out of nowhere. I... didn't think about it thoroughly. Why did I want to get stronger...?

Memories, recalling, remembrances...

My father...

Weakness...

Despair...

Loss...

Blighted...

"I..." My lips opened a bit.

"I want to avenge my father, and to slay every single Blighted in the world."

Reina's eyes widened a bit.

Everyone remained silent.

Katsumi was the only one who seemed... disappointed?

"Ambitious~ I like that." Reina cooed at me.

"Every single Blighted? Geez... that's crazy, but a good kind of crazy." Orime laughed incredulously.

Katsumi remained silent, eating her sushi.

"That's not heroic at all..." She murmured to herself, then she realized what Reina just said, "Wait, what!?? Yami is staying at your place!?? I won't let that happen!!" She even stood up to yell at her; customers gazed at her, making her shy and nervous, sitting back down.

"Forgive me..."

Reina began laughing her ass off.

"If you're worried about our dear Yami, you can stay as well~."

"Really~? Yay~ It's like a sleepover ~~" Orime was cheerful about this.

"I... guess I could... keep tabs on you, grooming Yami..." Katsumi groaned, embarrassed.

And just like that, it was decided.

We finished eating. Reina did, in fact, pay for the food, which made me feel a bit bad, since I'd never had anyone pay for my food before...

Reina noticed my discomfort and patted my head, "Relax, baby~. I'll pamper you rotten; in fact, you can call me Mommy~."

"EHH!?" I felt my knees go weak. She knows me! She definitely knows me!!

"WHAT!?" Katsumi almost tripped.

"S—SIS!!" Orime held her face in embarrassment.

"Say it~. Come on, baby~." She cooed, leaning close to my face.

"M—M.....Mommy..." It took all of my pride as a man and all of my mental fortitude to say it.

"Good boy~." She cupped my chin, forcing me to look at her eyes.

Oh yeah, I'm stiff as a rock. Well... time to leave my hands in my pockets perpetually!

Reina just grinned in a predatory way. Oh... she found out, fuck me...

Please... let no one notice it... just Reina!! Just Reina!!

"Alright~. Let's go home then~." She seemed eager now...

We walked to her truck, opening the door for me.

Reina made me the shotgun princess, making Orime mad, "Come on! I'm always the shotgun!!"

"This spot is now reserved for Yami~."

Orime pouted like a kid, even sulking.

Katsumi just laughed wryly.

On our way to their home, Reina had the audacity to place her hand on my thigh; she did this the whole ride. I was so damn embarrassed, like come on!! Have mercy on my virgin soul!

As she parked near her home, I saw a massive pit bull glaring right at us... of course, there's a fucking pit bull in her house, and I can guess the name is "Princess" or some shit.

"We're here~. Come on, let's go~. I'll help you clean that pipe of yours, Yami~."

Shit!! She definitely knows?!

"I'm good... just... show me where I'll sleep."

Shame on me, shame on my family, shame on my honor.

"Resist it all you want~, Yami~. One day, you'll give in, eventually~."

Thanks to her obvious words, Katsumi and Orime remained silent, awkward; both had a deep flush, and didn't even move to get out of the truck.

KILL ME!! FUCKING KILL MEEEEE!!!

God only knows what they were thinking...

... I'm so tired after this...

After this embarrassing moment, she showed me inside, presented her menacing-looking dog named Donut, and showed me where I would sleep, her damn room...

"I won't let that happen! If he sleeps in your room, he's as good as gone!"

"G—Gone!?" I proceeded to imagine Reina as a mobster, with a fine suit and a shit load of gangsters...

"My, my~. Have some faith, I won't just take him without his consent."

"Can I trust you on that...?" Katsumi glared at her eyes for a few long seconds, making Reina sweat a bit, and then she averted her gaze.

"HEY!! You were going to do it!!!" Katsumi growled like a maddened wolf.

"O—Orime-san, can I sleep in your room...?"

"Yes, you'll be safe with me." There was a big bead of sweat on her forehead.

"Thanks..."

Reina placed her rough hand on Orime's shoulder, looking sinister. "Are you trying to steal him from me, Orime?"

"N—No, I was just..."

"Fine!! I'll sleep on the damn couch!! Enough!!" I was exhausted from all of this...

"I can't let you do that, Yami. There's a guest room next to my room, just take it..." Reina was disappointed.

"Thank you, I'm going to sleep; we'll talk tomorrow morning..."

As I left, Reina and Katsumi began arguing again, talking about some "Try and stop me" or something like that.

Yeah, I'm locking my damn door.
