Chapter Sixteen: Storyteller:

-Emiko-

I have truly loved one other woman than Hoto-chan, Sumire. I don't want one over the other. I love them both equally, but I can only have one.

-Outside-

Emiko opened the bedroom door a crack. "Hoto-chan?" she whispered. "Are you asleep?" Hotaru didn't answer. The butch demon swallowed as she went inside. She's still upset, Emiko thought. The butch demon scanned the dark room.

"Hoto-chan?" she whispered. "You here? Hoto-chan? Hoto-chan?"

"I'm here," the loli demon whispered. Emiko relaxed some.

"Oh good," she said.

"I'm still mad at you."

"I know." Emiko walked over to the bed. "I love you both."

"I don't want that."

"I can't help it. I can't control my feelings," the butch demon reasoned. Hotaru turned away from her as her girlfriend sighed.

"I never cheated on you." Emiko lowered her head. "I couldn't," she said. Hotaru eyed her.

"Why?" she asked. Emiko lowered her shoulders.

"I'm a demon," she said.

"So?" Hotaru asked. "Hasn't stopped you before."

Emiko shook her head with a pale face. "No. I am a demon."

"So?" The gravity of the explanation took about a minute for Hotaru to get it. "Unless�" She stared at her girlfriend. "Was she�?" Emiko pressed her lips together as she nodded.

"Yes," she mumbled.

"Oh�" Hotaru murmured. She leaned forward, intently. "Then�why do you love me?"

"I can have you," Emiko explained. "I can touch you, kiss you, and love you like can't with Sumire-chan." Hotaru frowned at her.

"So what am I to you?" she asked. "A stand-in?"

"No!" Emiko said. "That's not it!"

"Then what?" Hotaru growled. The butch demon sighed.

"Come on," she said. "What do I have to prove it to you?" Hotaru leaned forward.

"Tell me a story," she said. Emiko blinked at her.

"What story?" she asked.

"About Tsuzuki and Anna," she said. "When they make love." Oh crap, Emiko thought. It's that bad for me to bring Anna into this for foreplay. She drew in a breath before letting off a nervous laugh. Okay... Emiko climbed onto the bed and sat down in front of her lover.

"Tsuzuki will sneak into Anna-chan's room at night," she began. "He'll greet her with a kiss."

"How?" Hotaru asked.

"What?"

"How do they kiss? Show me." The butch demon could feel her heart stop. Oh, she wants the big guns tonight.

"Alright," she said. "Close your eyes."

"Why?" Hotaru asked.

"Just do it."

"Fine." The loli demon drew her eyes closed. Her lips tempted Emiko to kiss them. The butch demon leaned forward and gave Hotaru a deep yet gentle kiss. Heh, this could be okay tonight. The couple pulled away. Hotaru looked at her emotionlessly.

"What happens next?" she asked. Emiko reached forward and unbuttoned her top.

"Let me show you," she whispered. She kissed Hoto-chan again. The loli demon kissed her back as she pulled Emiko down on the bed with her. She groped her small breasts under her shirt. Emiko pushed her tongue into her mouth as her hand went down her PJ pants and underwear. Hotaru moaned in her mouth.

-Emiko-

I love Hotaru-chan and Sumire-chan, but yet I can only touch Hoto-chan. I can't explain it to her in words. I don't expect her to understand, but I cannot change how I feel. I cannot change how I feel about my lovers.
