Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-34263048-20180502162326/@comment-28718853-20181219181223

I watch from the sidewalk as the buses roll to a stop in front of the crowd. How unfortunate for these supernatural ladies that it had to come to this, but I am more than willing to help out, plus a tax break will benefit me greatly. I can see the mamono inside the buses staring back at us with a mix of somber and relieved eyes. With winter right around the corner they are lucky that they are getting shelter here.

The buses hiss as their doors open and the humanoid occupants exit their transports. So many ladies in the crowd. My limit for the house is three, and I should be careful in my selection for house guests.

"Ummm...excuse me sir, are you open for guests?" asks a nervous voice at my side. I turn and see a Kikimora in a blue jacket looking up at me with a solemn expression.

That was quick, but I'm not complaining. I pat her on the head and say, "Sure dear.  What's your name?"

"Beatrice," the Kikimora replies.

"Okay Beatrice.  Stay with me for right now.  I'm looking for two more to allow into my home," I tell her as I look over the crowd for any mamono that stand out.

"O...okay," Beatrice mumbles, though she doesn't sound too excited about my plan to add more mamono refugees to my group.

Soon enough I spot an Ushi-Oni in the distance with a rather stone-faced expression. I could see why as people are taking care to avoid getting near her. Makes it easier for me.

I start toward her and Beatrice whispers, "Sir, she's an Ushi-Oni.  Are you sure this is a good idea?"

"As I said before B, I intend to allow more into my home," I tell her.

"My full name is Beatrice sir," Beatrice mutters with an annoyed look.

The Ushi-Oni spots me approaching her and twirls her body to face me.

"Hello there," I say to her once I reach her.

"You're quite brave for coming up to me so bluntly, most men wouldn't even come near me even if their lives depended on it," the arachnid mamono responds.

"Well, I tend to find girls like you quite charming," I say with a goofy grin.

The Ushi-Oni chuckles at my attempt to woo her and states with a sharp grin, "I like you already dude."

I can see Beatrice giving me concealed pouts out of the corner of my eye, but I ignore her and ask the Ushi-Oni, "What's your name sweetheart?"

"Ariel," she answers following with a question of her own, "Yours?"

"Sydney," I respond.

Ariel scoffs at my answer and says, "Girl's name."

"Actually, the name is unisex," I explain though I notice Beatrice pointing a scolding finger at Ariel though she doesn't seem to care about it.

"Is this it sir?" Beatrice asks as she looks at me with eyes that are hoping that my max is two.

I shake my head at her and answer, "One more B.  Then I'll get you ladies registered to live with me."

A hard scowl forms on Beatrice's face and she says to me, "Beatrice sir."

"Sorry Beatrice," I mutter with a gentle chuckle.

Ariel giggles along with me, and Beatrice is very unimpressed with our behavior thus far. Hopefully she learns to deal with it in the future during her time in my house.

We scuttle through the crowd in search of another suitable candidate for my home, and soon bump into a Youko who turns to face us with a lewd grin and coos, "Ooohhh...little early to be getting dirty isn't it?"

I'm taken aback by her callous statement and I can see Beatrice roll her eyes and whisper to me, "This fox just said that out loud!"

"All Youkos are like that dear," Ariel explains with a snide grin in Beatrice's direction.

"Just be thankful I'm not a March Hare honey," says the Youko.

I scratch the back of my head in embarrassment and tell the fox girl, "Apologies for bumping into you.  We were just looking for a third guest."

"Third you say?" the Youko asks as she steps up to me and wraps her hands around my waist. "I can complete your party of three," she says as she begins to assault my face with non-consensual kisses. Despite the fact that this is essentially rape, these kisses felt amazing.

The smooch fest is finally broken up when Beatrice pulls the Youko off of me and mutters to her, "That's enough."

"You can join," I mumble, still charmed from the Youko's kiss barrage.

Beatrice facepalms and Ariel chuckles saying, "Welcome to the team dear."

"Glad to be a part of it," the Youko says as she leans down in front of Beatrice and begins to play with her cheek. Beatrice lightly smacks at her arm until the Youko finally releases it and asks me, "So, what do I call you?"

"Name's Sydney," I say as I gesture to Ariel, "She's Ariel," I point to Beatrice and say, "And that's Beatrice."

"Pleased to meet you ma'am," Beatrice mumbles to the Youko.

"Sweet, name's Yuki," the Youko says cheerfully.

Within several minutes the four of us are at the registrar. The woman slides me several papers and says, "Just you and the ladies sign those and you'll be registered."

She then fully focuses her attention on me and says, "And can I just say how you're a brave man for allowing an Ushi-Oni into your home?"

"Appreciate it ma'am," I tell her as Ariel wears a warm smile of her own. Beatrice remains silent with a downcast expression. Yuki pats the Kikimora on her shoulders and says, "Cheer up dearie, we'll have lots of fun when we get back to our host's house."

Beatrice doesn't look toward Yuki, but she does utter, "Sure."

Once the proper papers are signed I lead my three new housemates down the road to my house. It's white and has two floors, primarily because my parents and other members of my family will sometimes visit over the summer.

"Nice house," Beatrice compliments.

"Thanks B err... Beatrice!" I respond quickly correcting myself.

Both Ariel and Yuki laugh at my slip up, but Beatrice just gives me a thankful smile for fixing it.

I bring the ladies into the house and get them squared away on where everything is and my expectations of them when they're living under my roof. They seemed to understand and I then made each of them a grilled cheese sandwich.

As the mamono enjoy their sandwiches I notice Beatrice staring at me from the side. She already wasn't pleased with having to spend time in my house with two other monsters, but this one is different. It's almost sincere, apologetic.

"Thank you!" Yuki says to me as she sucks the remainder of her sandwich off of her finger. "Yeah, thanks Sydney," Ariel adds as she holds in a belch. "Your hospitality is greatly appreciated Sydney," Beatrice adds, sounding fully genuine.

By nightfall I'm on my bed having just finished another session of video games when I notice Beatrice peering at me from the cracked doorway.

"Hi there Beatrice," I say to her with a friendly wave.

"May I come in Sydney?" she whispers.

"Come on in," I say.

Beatrice pushes open the door and steps inside. She makes her way to the side of my bed and asks me, "May I sit with you?"

"Permission granted," I respond with a grin as I pat the blanket beside me.

"Thank you," Beatrice says as she sits on the bed beside me.

"So, what brings you into my domain?" I ask the Kikimora.

Beatrice twiddles her thumbs and mutters, "I...wanted to apologize for my unruly behavior from earlier."

She hides her saddened face in her hands and mumbles, "It was unacceptable."

"Oh sweetie don't be like that," I say as I reach out and place my hand on her shoulder, "You just need to do some warming up that's all."

Beatrice shakes her head and continues, "I was untrusting of the other two mamono that you were bringing home with us. I just didn't want to be in competition for your affection."

"Beatrice, Beatrice sweetie look at me," I tell her.

As if she was in a horror movie she turns her head to face me.

"All three of you will get my love equally. None of you will be neglected, that includes you," I tell her in a straightforward manner.

A tiny crease in her frown forms on her face and she asks, "E-equally?"

"Yes, now come here," I say to her with open arms.

Beatrice practically jumps into them and I wrap my arms around her in a tight embrace. Her fur feels quite warm and comfortable.

"Starting the party without us Beaty?" comes the ever lewd voice of Yuki.

I glance up and spot her and Ariel standing in the doorway grinning. Beatrice breaks off from the hug and stares at them with a face as red as a tomato. "Sorry, you weren't supposed to see that!" she states as her body shakes.

Ariel chuckles at Beatrice's excuse and says, "And I thought that you Kikimoras were supposed to be gentle and kind."

"We are...mostly!" Beatrice claims.

Ariel snickers some more and both she and Yuki climb onto the bed with Beatrice and me.

"Anyway, I think it's time to do what mamono do best," Yuki states as she begins to remove her top, "Wouldn't you two agree?"

"Definitely Yuki," Ariel says as she hugs my face against her chest.

"H-hold on here, what about Sydney's consent!?" Beatrice exclaims as she tries to push both Ariel and Yuki away from me.

"It's okay Beatrice. I expected this to happen, and I'm not bothered by it at all," I explain as I stroke the back of Ariel's neck.

Beatrice looks at me flabbergasted as Yuki says, "There's your consent Beaty!"

"It's Beatrice!" the stunned Kikimora mutters as Yuki moves to lay on the other side of me with an expression craving for me.

Both the Ushi-Oni and the Youko start to peel off my shirt and I ask Beatrice, "Would you like to join in? There's room for one more."

Beatrice appears hesitant for a moment. A few seconds later she sighs and says with an accepting smile, "It is a Kikimora's duty to please you master, so that is what I will do."

She leans forward and sets to work undoing my belt buckle.

"Atta girl Beaty!" Yuki cheers.

"Beatrice!" Beatrice grumbles.

Hopefully Beatrice learns to accept us using nicknames for her soon. Her full name is fine, but I prefer to call her B as it's shorter and easier. It's cute hearing Yuki call her Beaty, but I'll need to do my due diligence to maintain balance around the house so that things don't get out of control. For now though, there was a night with three beautiful mamono to enjoy.
