Chapter Fifty: Object Sexuality:

March 4th, 2010.

11:00 a.m.

Tsuzuki carried Anna to the front door of their apartment. His wife looked him in the eye.

"You know," she said. "You didn't have to do this. I can walk by myself."

"I know," he said. "I wanted to do this." Anna smiled as she unlocked the door.

"We're home," Tsuzuki whispered.

"Welcome back," his wife said. Anna giggled as the shinigami nuzzled her on the cheek.  It feels good this way, she thought.

April 30th, 2010.

11:57 p.m.

It turned out to be a blood-filled night that spilled into the early morning hours. The shinigami took Hisato over to Watari to remove the vessel out of his body. The blonde scientist surveyed the damage.

"Crap," he muttered to himself after he opened up the young man's chest.

"What is it?" Tsuzuki asked.

"It looks like Asmodeus really placed in one of his parasites really deep into this man's heart," he said. "Look, it keeps drinking up his soul and blood at an alarming rate."

"Can it be taken out?" Tatsumi asked.

"Not without any serious damage to his body," his colleague replied. "The best to hope for is that he'll end up in a coma, but that will be only if the girlfriend is okay with this." Tsuzuki pressed his lips together.

"I'll go talk to her," he said. "If you are all okay with that?" The other shinigami looked among each other as they thought about this. Watari turned to his friend.

"Alright," he said.

"I thank you," Tsuzuki said with a bow. He turned and walked out of the operation doors.

May 1st, 2010.

1:00 a.m.

It's all over. The case, the forced chastity, all of it.

Asmodeus sat back in his throne. "Thanks to them, the vessel is comatose. He might not wake up, but his girlfriend still visits him. With that, the murders are done. Gone."

"And we still have the souls," Kannon said.

"Exactly," her master said. Gesshin turned to Asmodeus.

"Though, I am curious about one thing," he said. His master peered at him.

"Uh-hm?" he asked.

"Why Shinto shrines?" the male geisha asked. "Just why there?"

"Rather fitting, don't you think?" the demon asked. "Lust brought to the shrine for purification. Reminds me of Anna and her marriage."

"I guess you're right�" Gesshin said. Asmodeus smirked on his throne.

"Now all that's left is for the Mother to feed," he said.

"Feed until fat and beautiful?" Gesshin asked, grinning.

"Exactly," the master said.

11:00 a.m.

Tana sat in Tsuzuki and Anna's living room with the couple on the couch, facing her. The therapist had already hit record.

"This is Fujimoto Tana-senpai. It is now May the first at 11:00 a.m. I am here with Tsuzuki-san and his wife, Anna on the final session for this month." She turned to the couple. "Tell me, has no sex brought you any closer?"

The couple didn't speak at first. Anna pressed her fingers together.

"I was angry," she admitted. Tana and Tsuzuki eyed her.

"Anna �" the shinigami said. His wife put up her hand.

"I was angry at Nobu's wife," she said. "Abused for so long. She just stood there and took it." Anna clenched her fists. "I just thought� women like her should just disappear."

"So that's what caused the fire?" Tsuzuki asked. She nodded, lowering her head. Tana straightened her glass.

"Well then, this is progress," she said. "You have taken the first step that you needed to grow in your marriage." The couple eyed her.

"You finally managed to really say what needed to be said," Tana said. "All without sex. You will still need to keep growing and improving for the long stretch." Tsuzuki and Anna said nothing. Somehow, that made sense.

1:00 p.m.

Tatsumi met Tana for lunch. He took a sip of tea under the cherry blossoms.

"How are the newlyweds?" he asked.

"Good," she said. "They are making a little progress. In fact�" She lowered her cup to the table. "I'm thinking about staying for a while to see how things play out for them," Tana summed up.

"Of course," Tatsumi said, bowing his head. A cherry blossom petal fell in her tea. Tana smiled at the trees.

"I missed such beauty," she said.

"Yeah," Tatsumi said. Another petal fell in his tea.

10:00 p.m.

Tsuzuki kissed Anna against their bedroom door. She looked at him with big eyes.

"Asato-kun," she murmured. "Are you sure this is okay?"

"Of course," he murmured at her lips. "That hellish month is over after all. I have so many things I want to do to that hot little body of yours for a long time now."

"But�" Anna murmured. He silenced her with another kiss.

"Please?" Tsuzuki whispered. Anna's heart flipped in her chest. She missed the warmer of his body against hers. Each kiss he gave her invited her home to their bed. She closed her eyes.

"Please," the wife murmured.

"Please what?" Tsuzuki asked.

"Please� take me�" she whispered. Tsuzuki kissed her again.

"Very good," he whispered. "I will, but only if you do as I say tonight."

"Yes!" Anna said, breathless.

"Good girl," he whispered. The shinigami kissed her before he slid open the door and walked her inside. The man let go and sat on the floor. Anna watched him.

"Undress," Tsuzuki commanded her. Anna's hand went to her white blouse and started with the top buttons. Tsuzuki held up his hand.

"No," he said. "Slowly. I want to be turned on tonight." Anna slowed down with each button. Tsuzuki's eyes clouded with hunger. He replayed his plans for tonight as the blouse sank to the floor.

"Pause for me at times too," the shinigami ordered. "I want to really look at your body." Anna gulped when she heard his request. Something's different about him tonight. He's more dominant, more powerful, more� seductive. This demeanor of his made her knees tremble. Tsuzuki raised an eyebrow.

"What's the matter?" he asked. "Are you afraid of me?" Anna quickly shook her head.

"N-N-No!" she said.

"They why are you trembling so much?"

"I'm trembling because I'm excited!"

"Is that right?"

"Yes!"

"How bad do you want this tonight?"

Anna shut her eyes. "So bad that I would go crazy without it!"

"Is that right?"

"Yes!"

Tsuzuki smirked at her. "Well then, finish undressing and maybe I can help you out there."

Anna�s hands moved to her skirt. Tsuzuki's hunger flared as the long, black cotton material slid down her slender, shapely legs to the floor. She stepped out of the skirt. Tsuzuki starved desire spiked as he watched his wife strip off her lace bra and panties. He took in how wet the black and pink silk of the latter became before they fully began.

"Oh, you really are a hungry little kitten, are you?" Tsuzuki asked. "Get on the futon and lie down in the way that I want you." Anna lied down on the futon on her back. Her husband could hear the warm siren song of her womanhood drawing him in closer. He rose to his feet and disrobed. Anna's cheeks turned a candy apple red as he climbed atop of her. He gave her a naughty grin.

"Tell me," he said. "Do you like bondage?" His question confused her, but she nodded anyway. Tsuzuki smirked at her reply.

"Very good," he said. The shinigami pulled out a fuda and held it to her wrists. With one quick spell, the fuda turned into tight ropes. Anna looked rather puzzled.

"Asato-kun!" she yelped. "What is�?" He gently put his finger to her lips.

"Do you trust me on this?" he asked. Anna hesitated at first. He husband looked her dead in the eye.

"Do you?" he asked. The strong tone in his voice made her nod in a hurry. Tsuzuki licked his lips at his prey.

"Good," he cooed. "Now just go with me on this, okay?" His wife�s eyes widened. The husband kissed her on the forehead.

"Don't worry," he ensured her. "It'll get better soon." He moved down to her ankles and used his fuda there as well. He checked each rope for tightness. Anna looked down at him.

"When did you have time to learn this?" she asked. Tsuzuki glanced up at her with a smirk.

"I was bored in Kabukicho," he said. Anna drew her mouth closed. Tsuzuki came up back to her face.

"Good, you're nice and secure," he said. He drew out another fuda. "I'm going to blind you for this tonight. Don't worry, this won't hurt at all. Trust me." Anna felt her heart racing. Tsuzuki gave her a gentle kiss on the lips. Her husband broke off and rested the fuda over her eyes. He chanted a quick spell and drew back. At first, nothing happened. Tsuzuki smiled.

"Well?" he asked. Anna began to speak, but blinked.

"It's all blurry," she said. Her husband sat back.

"Good," he said. Complete darkness invaded Anna's vision. She tried to keep herself calm.

"Now what?" she asked in a low voice. Tsuzuki leaned down to her ear.

"Focus on your other senses tonight," he whispered. His tongue came down to her ear lobe and gave it a love tap. Anna gasped with such a jump to her spine. Tsuzuki took advantage of such reaction and penetrated her.

The heated rapture engulfed them. Each pound welcomed him home. Anna ached to hold him against her body. The sounds of her moans drive him through the ride. Her nails digging into his back spiked pain with the curving pleasure. The restraints held their tight grip. To Anna, her surroundings felt like they spun around her. She too felt the pain and ecstasy in the darkness as Tsuzuki's teeth sank down to her breasts. Her lower back jumped at the final bite.

"I can't hold it!" Tsuzuki yelled at last. With his release, he collapsed onto his wife, panting.

"How long does this blind spell last?" Anna asked once the depraved desire died down. Tsuzuki glanced up at her.

"Forever," he said. Anna gasped, trembling.

Tsuzuki chuckled. "I'm just playing with you. You'll see again by morning."

Anna frowned at him. "Jerk! That's not funny!" Tsuzuki laughed at her until he was breathless. Anna shook her head.

"So, can you untie me at least?"

"Nope."

"But why?"

"I kind of like seeing you tied up at my mercy like this."

"What?! So I'll have to sleep like this for the rest of the night?"

Tsuzuki had already gone to sleep. Anna smiled and shook her head to herself. Goofy little perv, she thought.
