Past

The Devilukian royal palace was not a palace, at least, it wasn't by Earth's standards. It was an Arcology. A big confusing mess that had a city inside it's big confusing dome structure while the actual 'palace' was a monstrous thing that took up space equivalent to what some Earth city districts would be, by his guess-timation, at least. Sure it did make sense since it had it's own spaceport within the dome, royal guard district, gardens (both within and outside the actual palace) and who knows what elde but the rest was there for sheer grandstanding opulence.

After all you did have to send the message that you ruled the galaxy, or at least that was what seemed to be the prevailing philosophy.

Rito was, understandably, struck dumb for several minutes the first time he actually laid eyes on it and then was further struck stupid by being told that no that's not a city, it s the palace. Yes all of it, the palace's ' royal living complex' just made him give up.

Which then made him look up as he made his silent proclamation and realize it wasn't just the surface area that was ridiculous but the stupid dome stretched kilometers upward too and-

What the- he doesn't even know anymore.

Now he just wondered if it would be highly improper if he could get something like a hoverboard to get around this stupid thing. And a map.

He would really like a map, right about now.

Sure Lala and the other princesses could get away with it (or rather a lot of shenanigans) but they were Devilukian royalty and daughters of Gid 'Planet cruncher' Lucione Deviluke. No one would be stupid enough to say no to them – that wasn't their parents at least, or someone highly valued, or highly highly suicidal – he, meanwhile, was some human from Earth (Terran, Earther, Earthen, Solian, Rocker...depends on who you ask and the dialect, apparently) a backwater planet in comparison to a vast majority present in the galaxy, that somehow managed to capture the attention and love of all three Imperial Princesses and managed to somehow get the OK from the Queen and SOMEHOW had gotten the A-Ok from Gid 'Capitalship Thrower' Lucione Deviluke.

That's not even counting the others of course…

You would think that would count for something but besides a general consensus of him having a tremendously stupid amount of luck he still had to get the respect of everyone, as was expected. Not to say they weren't courteous, far from it, he just couldn't get away with even half as much as his newly wed wives.

'This is what I get for not accepting that transportation offer.'

Still it wasn't even a year and half yet, so he'll yet manage to master all of these road networks and get used to the size and scope of the royal palace along with dealing with his other lessons.

...Eventually.

But first he really needed to get to Nana's 'personal playground' for his date.

Princesses get personal physical and cyber space for their hobbies.

Well, from how the story was told to him, it was more like they grew up, found a place(s) that matched up with their interests and proclaimed/convinced everyone else that it was theirs and they would be supervising it now.

Like the absolutely gorgeously cute little conquerors/charmers they were.

No, he wasn't biased at all. And no it wasn't doubled since he was still in the 'honeymoon' period as some put it.

On a side note; Gid "Solar Breath" Lucione Deviluke was beaming with pride each time it happened, from what the servants told him.

'I think I need to take a left here and then take a skycar...or was it a teleporter...both…?'

It's been a while since his last romantic meeting with the twins, so he was looking forward to spending some time with them.

Now if only he could just get there…

"You're late!"

"...I got lost."

"...They still won't give you a map, huh."

"I have to memorize the general layout at least, or so they said."

"I'll talk to them."

"That would be counter intuitive."

"Ooh big words, I'm proud." She finally rose up from the plush divan she was laying in, taking small graceful measured steps toward him around the matching pair in front of her own, "In all seriousness though, there should be some allowances."

She stopped in front of him and he unconsciously held his breath for a few seconds. He still couldn't quiet get used to this, this state he was propelled to when they gazed at him with such honest emotions in their eyes. The effect was multiplied two fold – or perhaps even more, he could never get an accurate measure thanks to the intensity – with the unique colors of their eyes, amethyst in this case. Colors that seemed to darken and lighten with each different emotion as they gazed at him.

Rito gulped, minutely though, he was rather proud of that. "You're snarkier than normal."

Her gaze shifted downwards onto her stocking clad legs before returning up to him as she gently grasped his fingertips with her smaller hand, a light blush staining her cheeks. "You're late..." She repeated before she pushed on, "...And I was looking forward to this...The earlier the better I thought since it's been a while that we had time for something like this, so..."

She trailed off yet her hand continued where her words didn't, softly coaxing his fingers open and caressing each one individually as she intertwined their hands, her blush getting a bit deeper at initiating the romantic gesture and his heart was beating faster with every touch.

Nana was truly a vision of petite loveliness as she stood there, cheeks lightly and pleasantly flushed, pink hair loosely tied on one side and resting upon her shoulder while delicately framing her face. Her plum colored eyes staring up at him through long pink lashes while her head was tipped minutely down, half staring into his eyes and half at both her hands now playing with his own. The image was further emphasized by her slender yet curvy body hugged by a red and black dress made in a Devilukian style, bearing some resemblance to the one she wore when they first met, and of course, the fact that all but sheer centimeters were separating them.

"Come on." She tugged his hand minutely while she turned around toward the divan and he obediently followed a few steps behind like a well trained puppy.

Without conscious thought his eyes followed a trail starting from their joined hands up

her stretched arm, they lingered for a second onto the gentle slope of her bare shoulder before continuing onto the pale skin that was visible from the exposed nape of her neck, followed by going down to the curving profile of her back and then even further down to follow the gentle curves of her waist until finally stopping at her softly swaying hips. Her lithe profile further emphasizing the lovely contours of her heart shaped derriere as she walked.

He felt a minute squeeze of his hand and his eyes shot up to find her gazing back at him from the corner of her eye.

Unbidden, his body tensed as it instinctively expected a lunging headlock followed by a loud cry of 'You beast'!

Yet all he got in return was a further deepening of her blush followed by a smile that showed one of her elongated canines giving her a gracefully cute yet somewhat playful appearance.

Slowly his body relaxed as no amount of physical violence happened to it, his active mind remembering that ever since their relationship upgraded she stopped her more showy forms of punishment to his antics along with said antics of his happening less and less frequently as of late.

They stood in front of the divan, Nana opening her mouth to speak to him as she simultaneously turned around-

-Only for them to trip. The second princess' hand still intertwined with his causing him to be pulled down with her.

His hand shot out and immediately her felt a plush softness envelope his finger tips. Looking down he quickly spotted the cause of the pleasant sensation.

One of his hands had settled down onto the cushion a small way off from Nana's waist while his other hand was still firmly weaved into hers. His fingers firmly clutched the cushions of the divan and his forearms were slightly flexed from the impact. His hands placed on either side of said pink haired princess trapping her in between his arms as she gazed at him with wide eyes.

"Well..." A small pink tongue darted out to wet her lips, briefly giving them an enchanting shine- a fact he dazedly noticed- while she breathed in a small shuddering breath that caused the slightest of brushes of her breasts to his chest from the proximity, "You didn't strip me, grope me, got me entangled in an impossible position from the angle in which we fell, or any combination of the above."

The pink haired princess exhaled her earlier breath causing it to ghost pleasantly over his face as he continued to gaze firmly at her, another small smile springing onto those increasingly alluring pale pink lips. "That's a remarkable progress from the savage beast you once were, don't you think."

"Uh-huh." His eyes traced the contours of her rouge cheeks.

"Rito..."

"Yeah?" Her now loose hair was fanned around her head, the pink locks were actually complimented by the red and black color scheme of the divan's cushions, causing the overall lovely picture that was her face to hold his attention. Even more, he meant.

He followed the slight movements of her throat as she softly gulped, "You're still staring."

'I wanna breath her in.'

It was his turn to sigh out a shuddering breath. "...I know."

The tips of her sharp canines were visible as she gave him a shy smile that did nothing to mitigate his pounding heart.

"Come here." she responded to his sighed words by pulling at him, her tail having wound it's way around his waist and she sighed once again in minute pleasure as her sensitive tail rubbed against his clothes and form. Her free arm hooked it's way around his neck by the elbow, her hand burying itself in his russet hair as she brought him closer to her lips…

"Oh my, I just can't quite get used to this scene yet."

...Before being unceremoniously shoved back with a startled squeak.

Fortunately he wasn't thrown to the ground with the strength of her shove thanks to the tail around his waist but by that same saving grace her, really, sensitive tail endured a much grater shock than the earlier gentle caress she was experiencing causing the rather cute squeak to turn into a breathy moan.

Nonplussed Rito turned his head to the side-

"Momo!" Nana growled out as she sat up yet still kept him close and her tail around him.

-And spotted the third princess of Deviluke, twin sister to Nana, casually lounging with her head pillowed against her arms on the other divan positioned in front of theirs. A twin to their own.

'Theirs something poetic about this. Most likely exactly how she envisioned it.'

"Hmm?" Said Devilukian sister simply smiled at both of them, small enough to be considered polite yet wide enough that the briefest glimpse of one of her own fangs was visible.

"What..." the older of the twins bit out, "are you doing here? We had a deal remember? I get to go first today and then you. And we wouldn't get in the way of each other, so that it would be fair amount of time for each of us. Remember." She finished with a growl.

The youngest of the Deviluke sisters eyes flashed and he had enough sense that he started preparing himself as she slowly uncurled herself in front of them.

"Well," Momo started easily enough, yet there was an undertone to her words that he knew meant she had more words planned out, "that was the intent, yes. But it seems that someone forgot the agreed upon time, since it's clearly past that and yet I remained alone."

She held her hands up in a typical -human- gesture of 'what can you do' yet her gaze never wavered form her twin. Suddenly she smirked and Rito felt like rolling his eyes at that moment as he understood her game.

"I Should have expected this childish behavior." Her words were sweet enough yet there was a slight bite to her tone, if one didn't pay attention to her words alone, in any case. "Really now Nana," one of her hands cupped her face in exasperation," Do I have to lecture you in proper etiquette for a princess, again."

It was a testament to her self control that Nana didn't launch herself at her sister...yet.

For her part Momo allowed herself the smallest of pouts at the lack of reaction while she began to twist one of her fingers into a shoulder length lock of pink hair.

'...I want to kiss it away.'

"He," a finger was pointed at him by the young woman next to him, "Was late."

"...They still won't give you a map, huh. Want me to talk to them?"

The young husband couldn't hold it in and finally allowed himself a proper eye roll, "Twins." He sighed out as he leaned back on the divan's backrest.

A set of musical giggles reached his ears and he briefly felt hope that it wouldn't end up in a tangle o limbs like it usually did when these two fought.

He blinked. '...Then again...'

Nana, surprisingly, was the first one to continue were they left off. "Anyways, thanks to that I didn't get to spend much time with him. In fact, he just arrived here."

She very visibly unwrapped her tail from around his waist, "So, we're going to have to push the timetable back a bit little sister," and coiled it around his arm, making sure to lay half the spade of her tail up against his palm as she scooted closer to him to wrap her arm around his, all while giving her sister an angelically sweet smile. "Don't worry it'll still be the same amount of time, just...later."

The twins while having some differences in temperament and in personality shared the same appearance; the same plum eyes, the same height, weight, the same lithe body, the only difference seemed to be in breast size, (as Momo was oh so fondly on sweetly reminding her sister), though admittedly that seemed to be disappearing as they aged. They also, consciously or unconsciously, had the same body language and whether they knew it or not, they sometimes shared actions between them.

Like now, for example, as Momo abruptly stood up and proceeded forward to stare her suddenly smug sister down.

"I've waited long enough-" The youngest princess began hotly, hands firmly crossed beneath her breasts to push them up and cocking of one her shapely hips-

"And I haven't?!-" Nana retorted just a heatedly as she also stood up, yet still kept a firm hold over his arm with her tail, while deciding to firmly plant her hands on her hips causing her trim torso to arch beau-

'...The things these Devilukian sisters do to me...'

"We had a deal remember, Nana? Since he just arrived here then surely it wouldn't be unfair to give him to me and then you get him later-"

"Why Momo, why don't you wait your turn like a proper royal princess would-"

"Why don't you act like the proper elder sister you're always touting to be-"

"Enough!" It was strange for Rito to reach his breaking point, even so all his wives and the others who knew him enough realized he had one and that generally when it was reached, it was for a good enough reason.

The gold eyed teen stood in between them for a moment, his arms held loosely by his sides with one of his arms still wrapped by Nana's tail, though looser now, yet his gaze was as firm as how he was taught to use by Sephie for diplomatic situations.

For their part the twins cooled minutely at his tone yet they never backed their gazes down, standing firm like proper Imperial Princesses would.

As the seconds passed he slowly let his gaze settle down and with his free hand, slowly yet obviously reached for Momo's tail.

For her part the younger pink haired princess didn't protest as she willingly allowed him to touch her tail and made no reaction apart from an initial squeak when he touched it. Rito gently, lovingly, proceeded to wrap her tail around his free arm in a clear imitation of his other one.

"Look, I've been busy, we all have, I admit it." Carefully he pulled them toward him and when they were close enough to lay their heads on each if his shoulders he continued, "And it has been a while-"

"A long, long while." They echoed in unison, pausing, before briefly smiling at each other.

-He nodded. "Yes, it has. And I understand it was supposed to be our day, were we would catch up and finally spend some time but it didn't go like it was planned." Briefly, lovingly he squeezed their shoulders, the action causing them to inhale briefly and squirm a bit as their tails wriggled enough to get comfortable in their wrapped state.

"But that doesn't mean it needs to get to this point. I miss you. Both of you."

They stayed like that, the seconds passing by and only shifting once in a while until Rito decided it was safe enough to guide them both unto the divan he was previously in until they all settled comfortably against each other.

"...Those lessons in diplomacy sure have been going well, huh? Not even a blush at those words or at our closeness." Nana snarked as she laid her head on his shoulder once again.

"Mother must really be trying hard, then again it shouldn't come as a surprise since she did become fond of him ever since our dear husband managed to impress her." Momo giggled back as she buried her nose into his neck.

He snorted partly in exasperation yet there was a smile on his face, "So...how have my dear wives been in the meantime?"

He felt his arms being squeezed by their tails and his hands being enveloped by theirs as they all began talking all throughout the rest of the day.

Momo stared out at the garden visible from her wall length window from atop her bed, sitting with her knees pulled up to her chest and arms around her bare legs, taking comfort in the presence of the two bodies that currently shared her bed.

"Something wrong?"

She looked at her husband as he stirred beside her and part of her wished that they were doing activities other than resting or at the very least that all three of them were less covered by their pajamas.

Instead she pushed that desire down for the moment, after all, they had all the time in the world right now and they were bonded for life.

She smiled at those thoughts. Those reminders.

"No." Pink hair swished around her head as she shook it. "Everything's fine."

Wordlessly, that precious Earth boy she fell in love with opened his arms and she slowly crawled into his embrace. "Everything is right."

Shifting a bit she made sure to wrap her legs around his own and slowly started to relax herself to sleep even as her own heartbeat picked up at having Rito, her husband Yuuki Rito, so close to her. Just as it always did in these situations.

"Momo," her twin groaned out against Rito's other side, even as she groped around in the relative darkness of the room until she grasped one of her hands, "...Introspection tomorrow. Sleep now."

She couldn't help it she let out an airy giggle as she squeezed her sister's hand followed by giving their husband a peck on the side of his neck before finally settling down.

Momo sighed as she surrendered herself to sleep along with two of the other precious people in her life currently with her.

"Everything's as it should be."

Sup Guys and Gals, I'm alive!

So sorry about that, I'll get to that in a minute but first off, this little update is just to tie you over until I upload the other multiple ones. It'll include Lala and a Yami and Mea one. Whether separate or mixed (for the latter) I'll see.

Anyways don't know if you guys know but I'm Venezuelan, as said on my profile, literally the only thing there and it's because it's a feature of the site but I'm getting sidetracked.

Point is, things have been getting rough so less time to write. I write to de-stress and for enjoyment.

Soo, won't bore you with details or anything but yeah. I'm trying.

Anyways how was this? This was set in the past of my fic. In other words before Rito reunites with Mikan on Earth. So they are kinda different yet still the same, a transition period if you will.

Am I getting worse in my writing? Better? Characterization (with enough justification on the events of the timeline, I mean)?

And now I'll answer some reviewers questions:

shadowknightfall: Boom! I'm back baby. Also, I got you fam. Romance for Kyoko and Rito, been a while since they last saw each other so they went to do mushy stuff. They did have fun another day, maybe even included Run too. And yes, I'll do a Run chapter in the future.

treyalexander63917: He's in peak human condition. No, he's still a normal human. It's more for looking all fit and well exercised. Gid didn't want a scrawny looking kid on top of being a, technically, peasant. At least in this fic's timeline. He could fight other Humans but say Devilukians? Hahaha, Nope.

magic135: Some unspecified time at the start of the story. I left it purposefully vague to give me more freedom. You know stuff like did he marry them all in one big ceremony or one by one or...etc. Among other reasons. Only the alien girls since they had an easier time accepting it. And a ghost since she was born when it was normal.

Guest: Eh, technically she has more ecchi scenes but here in this story she has a more of a sisterly/maternal/adviser role for the Yami and Mea. As for the reason Oshizu is in, please look at the response below.

withdranwnmadness000: Thank you. Oshizu is in the harem due to events that happened in this timeline that I will be showing in another chapter. I originally stated this was going to be part story/ part practice for me. Oshizu's chapter is one that helps me in various ways (for example: make it believable to the readers(-ish, it's To Love-ru after all), see if I can setup a scenarios(s), etc. I also got you brah/sis. No, currently they have decided to postpone having children and enjoy married life together. And yes those are more or less their ages. In this chapter, for example Rito and the twins are younger since it's in the 'past' of this fic.

to love this: They'll have scenes in this story, just not romantic ones. Maybe ship tease. Same with Mio helping Risa tease Rito. Those scenes however are not 'romantic'. For now.

ZenithTempest: Thank You! Have another one.

Questions? Thoughts?

Also fingers crossed for the Harem Ending! Or sequel, at least.

For reference for you future readers, I'm publishing this on the 01/03/17 hence my comment.

That's first of March. I'm not a North American so I don't use the month before the day format.

Also the word counter say 3,506 words with just the story. Not any of this A/N.
