Chapter Thirty-Nine: Agalmatophilia:

March 2nd, 2010.

Velvet black surrounded the lad as his eyes wandered around for any signs of life. No stars or moon in the sky tonight; just the sound of crickets everywhere. The lad shivered in the cool spring breeze. Why am I cold? He felt along his body and twisted his face into confusion.

"And why am I naked?" he asked. His ears caught a splashing sound. The lad tried to look around in the dark. The splashing grew louder. He found himself walking toward the source. A soft glow became his source of light. He squinted for a better look.

Her face shone like a diamond in the snow. The rest of her body stood out in the black swirling water ahead of him. Curious, the lad walked out to her. The pale girl swam around in the water when she noticed him walking towards her. He froze when his toes touched the surprisingly warm water. Their eyes met and the young man blinked at her.

"Uh� who are you?" he asked.

"Tell me who you are," she said. The lad found himself moving closer to her.

"I don't have a name," he said. "What about you?" The glow of her naked body drew him in closer. The warm, black water came up to his hips.

"What do you desire?" the girl in the water asked. Only two words came to his mind.

"White Rabbit�" The pale girl smiled and giggled. The lad gave her a blank stare.

"What?" he began. The girl only pushed him under the black waters below. He ended up washed away in a stream of light bubbles. Moments later, he awoke in the warming blue light. The lad sat up and looked around when he heard singing.

Where is that coming from? The naked lad paused when he heard footsteps. There was his White Rabbit in all of her shimmering glory. He noticed that she wore a wedding dress of tattered, old lace. Her veil and fingerless gloves looked just as old and wore. The lad kept his eyes on her now skinny frame.

"My love," he breathed. "What happened to you?" She looked at him with lifeless, glass eyes.

"She missed you dearly," a lavender-like voiced filled his ears. The young man looked up to see a girl close to his age sat on a salted-rock. Her simple tan dress, Sunday hat, and bare, full breasts blended in with the rock she sat on. The girl gave him a sweet smile.

"Welcome!" she greeted him. The lad stared at this nymph-like angel.

"And who might you be?" he asked.

"I am the priestess of the dark waters," the girl said.

"Okay�" he said. �And who's that girl above?"

"My angel," the priestess in brown said. "I sent her up to bring you here." The lad rose to his feet.

"Why?" he asked. The nymphet in brown giggled.

"The wedding, of course!" she cheered. His eyes widened at her words.

"What?!" he yelped. The priestess rose to her feet with elegance. She didn't mind if the hem of her dress got wet. She came over to the frail White Rabbit.

"You see," the priestess said as she stroked her on the back. "You chased her around for a long time, but alas her body can't keep up. Like all rabbits in this world, she must settle down and wed. It is lucky that she has chosen you to be her mate."

"What happens if she doesn't marry?" the groom asked.

"The rabbit will die and disappear into snow," she said.

"And if we marry?" he asked.

"She will be reborn," the priestess told him. "Her fate is based on your decision." He didn't need to think.

"I'll do it," the lad said. "What do I need to do?"

"Take her hand," the priestess said. The lad took the bride's delicate hand.

"Now, say these words," she said. "I vow to love you with all of my being. I will protect you and take care of you. If I fail to do these things, may my heart be cut out and crushed before my eyes."

"I vow to love you with all of my being. I will protect you and take care of you. If I fail to do these things, may my heart be cut out and crushed before my eyes," he said. The priestess turned to the frail bride.

"And now you say it," she said.

"I vow to love you with all of my being. I will protect you and take care of you. If I fail to do these things, may my heart be cut out and crushed before my eyes," the bride said. The priestess clapped her hands.

"You are now married," she said. "You may now kiss the bride." The lad leaned and gave his bride a kiss on the lips. Just a little peck, really. Yet, that was all it took for the transformation. They pulled away and the bride took a step back. The priestess leaned down to the groom's ear.

"Witness," she whispered. "Here is where your White Rabbit is reborn." The bride rabbit held out her skinny, graceful arms. Bright lights of white and faded green formed at her wrists. The lad looked around as the velvet black surrounding them blended into a silky purple.

"What is�?" he began to ask. The priestess only shushed him.

"Just watch," she whispered. The lights grew and swallowed the bride's arms. The white and green consumed her stick-like body in one gulp. Suddenly the light burst into tiny stars in the endless purple. His bride floated up from the explosion. Her old lace gown became brand new silk. Her curves and color to her skin returned. The lad blushed as he could've sworn he saw two great shimmering wings blossom from her back. In that instant, he fell into an endless flood of rapture for his wife.

The rabbit bride floated off of the damp ground of tunnel and up through the opening hole to the full moon in the sky. Her husband raced after her. He too went through the hole in the sky and disappeared to above ground.

April 22nd, 2010.

8:15 p.m.

-Charlotte-

I had the day off tonight. Fine, except I have nothing to do now. I studied for my exams at the Todai library until I got bored. Then I just came to this bar. A couple of guys offered me a drink, but I turned them down. I don't know; just don't want to be bothered tonight I sat over my drink and sighed. What can I do for the rest of the night? One thought keeps reoccurring in my head that I don't enjoy. Seduce Takashi tonight.

Mariko-senpai's suggestion makes me cringe. Yet, it hasn't left me all day. I can't do it. It's just too weird. But why won't the idea die already? It could be fun. Plus, when was the last time you got laid? Good point, but still�

I shook my head. No, I shouldn't even try it!

"Excuse me," I heard someone say. "Are you okay, miss?" I lifted my head from my hands. The bartender had an eyebrow raised at me. I blinked for a moment. Then, I grabbed my glass and downed my shot.

"Yeah!" I lied. "In fact, get me another one!" He only looked at me blankly.

"Okay�" he said. The bartender made me another drink. I puffed up my cheeks. This isn't working. What can I do? The best way to kill temptation is to give in. That's just wrong. Yet, I can't get it out of my head. Why am I losing this battle in my head? I shut my eyes. My curiosity warred with my good sense. In the end, curiosity got the better of me. I opened my eyes. Right then, I knew what I needed to do, but first�

I downed my second cherry-flavored vodka. I stuck up my hand in the air.

"Bartender!" I called. "Get me another." After the third shot, I paid my tab and began my walk of shame home.

-Takashi-

I heard the front door close. "Who's there?" I asked.

"It's only me," a familiar voice answered.

"Charlotte-chan?" I asked. "What are you going back here?"

"I had the night off," she told me. I heard the door close and lock. "Takashi-kun, do you like me?"

"Yes," I said in a low voice. "I do like you."

�No," Char-chan said. "Do you like me in a way a man likes a woman?" I froze not at her words, but how she said them. Her tone had gotten huskier, almost alluring in a way that was far from my understanding.

"I� I don't know�" I said. Her footsteps came over to me on the couch. Her fingertips graced my left shoulder.

"Aww," she cooed. "That's a shame, because I might like you." Char-chan pulled me to my feet. She cuddled close to my chest. "You've been so good to me. I want to thank you for that." I still didn't get what she was doing, or rather I tried not to understand.

"W-What do you mean?" I asked. Her hands closed around my wrists instead of speaking. My fingertips touched the hem of her shirt. She guided me to lift it over her head. My heart sped up in my chest.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"Feels nice, doesn't it?" she asked.

"Uh�" was all I could say.

"Shhh," she whispered. "It's okay." She put a finger to my lips as I began to speak.

"It's okay," Char-chan whispered. Her lips lightly touched mine. My cheeks burned. I have live in Chijou for six years now. Angels who live among humans for a long time start to develop human traits of their own�such as jealousy, wrath, and lust. I can't tell if that has caught up to me yet or not. I don't even know what to do right now! Char-chan moved my fingers again. This time, I touched her bra. My body became rigid.

"C-C-Char-chan�" I tried to force out. She put her finger to my lips again.

"Just unhook my bra," she murmured.

"But�" I said.

"Please," she whispered. I stayed quiet for a long while. My fingers seemed to move on their own as they worked to unhook the tiny hooks in the back.

"This is hard," I said as I came to the second clasp.

"Just take your time," she told me. I swallowed at first.

"Okay�" I said. The rest of the hooks came undone in my hands. Char-chan moved my fingers to the straps of her bra. I sensed her eyes on me.

"Do you want me to take it off?" I asked.

"Yes," she said. Her voice sounded serious yet appealing. I swallowed again. My stiff body broke out into a cold sweat.

"I feel hot," I whimpered.

"This is normal," she said. I nodded, still sweating. I took her bra into my hands and slid it off. My ears caught the sound of it hitting the floor. Char-chan moved my hands to her breasts. My face burned.

"Does it feel good?" she asked. I seemed to have lost the ability to speak. I only nodded. My heart raced at her giggling. Kami-sama, what do I do? Char-chan's yelping brought me back to earth. I nearly jumped at the sound.

"What is it?" I asked. It dawned on me in my nervousness that I had started squeezing her chest. I loosened my grip.

"I'm sorry!" I yelped. "I didn't mean to�"

"Uh-uh," Char-chan replied. "It's okay. It actually feels good." I paused at her words.

"Really?" I asked.

"Uh-uh," she said. "In fact, come with me."

"Huh?" I asked. Char-chan took hold of my hand and led me down the hall. I heard a door slid open. Judging by the scent of incense and French perfume, we were in Char-chan's room.

"Char-chan�" I spoke up.

"Shhh," she whispered. I heard us take a few more steps before the sheets rustled. That small hand closed around my wrist and pulled me downwards. My hands and knees touched the sheets. The closeness of her scent and body heat made my spine freeze again.

"It's okay," she whispered. "Relax." Her hands grabbed my shirt. My throat nearly closed up as the fabric slid over my head. My ears caught a light gasp as my shirt hit the floor.

"Oh my!" Char-chan said. "You're so buff, so handsome." My cheeks grew warm as her finger touched my arm, then my chest, and down to my abdomen.

"You think so?" I asked.

"Yeah," Char-chan said. My ears caught a zipper unzipping.

"In fact�" she continued. Her hand seized my wrist and pulled my hand down her jeans and panties. "See? You're making me wet thinking about you."

"Uh�" was all I could say. My fingertips felt soaked.

"Here," Char-chan said. "Help me take the rest of my clothes off." I froze up again.

"What?" I asked.

"It's okay," she whispered. She pulled my hands to her pants. I gulped as I slowly began to pull them down.

"Ooo!" she murmured. I froze when I came to her knees.

"What?" I asked. "Should I stop?"

"No," she said. "Keep going."

"You sure?" I asked.

"Yes!" she insisted. I swallowed and lowered my shoulders. If she insists� Her jeans came off in my hands. I threw them aside and got to her panties. The warmth of her skin overwhelmed me. I shook my head to continue. Yet, I couldn't ignore my organ stirring awake between my legs. The panties hit the floor before I knew it. It didn't take long for Char-chan to grab at my jeans and unzip them. My thoughts went blank from there.

"Char-chan," I said, trembling. "Are you sure--"

"Shhh," she cut in. "I'll take good care of you tonight. Don't worry." I went silent. My jeans came off, and then my boxers.

"Wow!" she gasped. "You're so big!"

"What?" I began to ask. I drew my mouth closed fast as her fingertips ran down my organ. I drew in a sharp breath as her mouth connected around it. My breathing grew heavy as she started to suck. Her mouth felt just as wet as her privates. Small moans escaped from my lips.

"Oh�" I murmured. She sucked on me slowly too. Almost teasing me. I kept swallowing and breathing hard.

"C-C-Char-chan�" I moaned. Her sucking gradually grew faster as a result. I grabbed onto the sheets under me. The sucking stopped and I felt Char-chan put two fingers into her wet mouth. Before I knew it, wet fingertips graced my back hole while the sucking returned. A shock raced up my spine. I struggled to regain my senses.

"C-C-Char-chan," I forced out. "W-W-What are you doing?" The sucking stopped as she pulled away her mouth. Her giggle made my heart jump.

"What am I doing?" Char-chan asked. "I'm teasing your ass." She didn't give me time to respond. The sucking came back more forceful. My voice became choked up in moans.

"Char-chan!" I whimpered. "Oh!" Her mouth and fingers kept working me. Suddenly, I froze

"Char-chan," I said. "This feels funny. What's happening to me?" All I got was a loud, hard suck in response. She even used her tongue along the hard skin.

"Wait!" I screamed. "Something's happening to me! Ahh!" I broke down under such unknown and timid pressure. Char-chan released my organ as I panted. I heard her swallow and lick her lips.

"Mmm," she said. "I never knew angels tasted so sweet." My cheeks burned again.

"You really think so?" I asked.

"Uh-huh," she said. "Now, time to return the favor." Her words confused me so.

"How?" I asked. Char-chan giggled and pushed me under. My face came to her privates. I felt her heat at my nose.

"Now," Char-chan said. "Stick out your tongue and lick me."

"Okay�" I mumbled. I inched my tongue towards her privates. Char-chan let out a loud squeal when I touched skin. I quickly drew back.

"I'm sorry," I whispered.

"No, no," she insisted. "You were doing well. Keep going." I hesitated at first.

"Alright�" I said in a low voice. I stuck out my tongue again. This time, I didn't stop. I slowly pushed my tongue inside. I nearly paused again. I've never tasted a woman's privates before and right now, it tastes weird to me. Yet, her moans pushed me to keep going. Suddenly, something changed in my mind. I couldn't explain it, but I just had to taste more.

"Oh!" Char-chan cried. "Too fast! Slow down! Slow down!" My licking slowed down at the sound of her command. Char-chan moaned.

"Yes!" she said. "Take your time! Take your time and enjoy! Oh!" I only complied for a while. Pretty soon, my own growing lust got the better of me as I pushed my tongue deeper inside and licked faster. Char-chan only replied in screams and moans. My head became so lost in everything that even Char-chan's screams blended in with everything else.

I froze when Char-chan put her hand on my head. I slowly withdrew my tongue.

"Char-chan," I said. "Why did you stop me?" Her chuckle made my heart jump.

"Takashi-kun," she addressed me. "Would you like to put that inside me here?" Her big toe caressed my stiffened organ on "that" and she moved my hand to touch her privates on "here." My whole face turned hot.

"Would I like to put�" I began to repeat. My heart flipped in my chest. "Yes!" I yelped. "Yes!" Char-chan chuckled at my response.

"My, you're such an honest boy," she said. "Alright, just take it and guide yourself inside." I swallowed as I nodded.

"Okay," I said. I felt for my organ and took hold of it. It took me about four tries but I managed to get it in.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"Yes," she said with a pant. My hands found her shoulders. They seem so small under me.

"Uh� now what?" I asked. Her fingertip ran down my chest.

"Just relax and move your hips back and forth," Char-chan told me.

"My hips?" I asked.

"Uh-huh," she said. I about had a heart attack when her long nails sank into my hips. Char-chan then proceeded to push me back and forth. It took me a while before I started to move on my own. Tiny shocks raced up my spine. Char-chan screamed out.

"Harder! Harder!" she cried. "Oh!" Her voice drove me to thrust faster and harder. My body felt like it was on fire. Sweat coated my back, chest, and brow. Yet, I couldn't stop. My own lust willed me to pump harder. The fire burned stronger in my chest. Char-chan wrapped her arms around my neck.

"Takashi-kun!" she cried. "I love you!" Her words drove me to pump faster and harder. I gave her another kiss on the lips. Char-chan pushed her tongue out of her mouth up to my lips, demanding entry. A big shock raced up my spine. She took advantage of my surprise and darted her tongue into my mouth. It didn't take me long to figure out what she wanted. My tongue almost instantly joined the battle. The sensations in our mouth drove me to pump even faster. Once again, I felt that strange tingle before my body gave into that unknown and timid pressure. I broke off the kiss and panted. I waited until my organ went limp before I pulled out and collapsed next to a panting Char-chan.

-Moments Later-

"How was that?"

"You did well, I'm impressed."

"You mean it?"

"Yes."

"Uh� thanks, I guess."

"Takashi-kun."

"Hm?"

"What was it like with you being, you know?"

"Blind?"

"Yes."

"Well, this was my first time. So, I wouldn't fully know, but it did feel really good."

"Did it?"

"Yeah. It really was enjoyable."

"Good for you. I'm glad you had fun."

"Char-chan, what's the matter? Why are you crying?"

"I'm not crying; something got in my eye."

"What's the matter?"

"I was your first."

"Yes�"

"Don't you get it? I seduced you and took your virginity. You'll probably be fallen now because of me."

"I'm fine with that. I don't care, just as long as we can be together in the end."

"That's so sweet, but I will still feel guilty in the morning. So please let me enjoy the rest of this night right now."

"Alright, whatever you like."

"Why are you so good to me, Takashi-kun?"

"I like you."

"In what way?"

"The way a man likes a woman, I think."

"That's good enough for now."

"Hm."

-Charlotte-

I went to sleep with Takashi, my angel, by my side.
