Rito's Road to Marriage

Chapter 6

"Mikan! We're home!" Rito yelled as he opened up the front door to his residence, taking a step into the home and then taking his shoes off. Rito let out a sigh as he placed his shows down on the floor, "I'm so glad that this is done and over with! No more Kronos running around causing issues for me, or anyone else." Rito thought to himself.

Rito, Lala, Yami, and Mea all came around the corner into the living room where they saw that Zastin, Mikan, Celine, and the twins were sitting on the couch watching the television. Zastin looked over and saw the returning group, placing his warm cup of tea down. He gave the company a smile, "Hello Rito-Dono. Would it be correct for me to assume that you were successful in your endeavor?"

At this point, everyone who had stayed behind was now looking at Rito. "Yes, at least I believe so. I'm glad that I had my friends there to help me though, Yami, Mea, and Lala all fought to help me, and I couldn't have done it without them." Rito turned around and gave his friends a smile, he then walked up to the First Princess and pulled her into a hug.

"Yuuki Rito even picked up a sword and fought on his own too." Yami said with a very slight smile, not letting the others know that she was proud of him.

"Wait, Rito used a sword and fought on his own?" Mikan cocked an eyebrow up, giving her older brother a look of slight disbelief.

Before Rito could even give a response back to his younger sister Mea jumped into the conversation, "Yup! Rito-Senpai sure did fight. He was doing it all on his own for a while there at the end. There was a close call though, Kronos managed to slice up the middle of Rito's shirt, but luckily he missed and only cut open his shirt. It exposed his large breasts though." Mea glanced over at Rito giving him a wink, "Not that I mind."

"Ummm what do you mean by his breasts..." Nana looked over at the now blushing boy.

"It's alright Nana. It's a long story, but I turned Rito back into Riko while we were out there!" Lala put some of her items on the table.

"Oh my, Rito-San turned into a girl again. Are you starting to get used to the feeling of being a woman?" Momo looked right at Rito and had a smirk on her face.

"I know she's just trying to get me all flustered up again." Rito thought to himself, trying to fight back down another blush. "You know what? I think that I am starting to get used to it, and I think it's starting to bother me less and less each time that I turn into Riko." Rito responded with a tone of confidence that was unusual for him in these kinds of situations.

Everyone looked at Rito with a very shocked expression, "I think that is a good thing Rito-Dono. It is important that you get used to strange scenarios and be prepared for anything. Maybe we can place you in even stranger situations and see how you react to those."

"Ummm, I think I am fine Zastin, I think that I've been handling some of this stuff relatively well. At least well for me. I am surprised that I actually fought today too. It was actually kind of exciting, in a weird way. I actually did something for once." Rito smiled and felt proud.

Mikan listened to her brother and a smile formed on her lips, she was proud of her brother. She could tell from the way that he was talking that even if he views what he did as, not much compared to what the Devilukian sisters and the transformation sisters can do, he still felt like he was able to contribute. "So, how do you feel now then? You guys did just end up merging him back into you with the machine that Lala made right?"

Rito leaned up against the wall and began to think, "Honestly I don't feel exactly the same as before. I can tell that Kronos has become a part of me again and that I am 'whole', but there is something that feels off, but I can't exactly explain what it is. I might just be tired, or my body or mind isn't used to being back together? It has been a couple of months since all of this has started anyway."

"Well, I am glad that this situation seems to be sorted out now. I still find it hard to believe that you actually fought. Instead of just throwing one or two punches, I am glad that there are not two of you running around this planet. One beast like you is enough already, this planet doesn't need another." With that Nana looked over at Mea, who was still eating some sweets and just observing the conversations taking place in the living room. "Come with me, let's hang out in the digital safari and play with all of the cute animals!"

"Can we see the animals that do the lickity lick things too!?" Mea's posture shot right up when Nana said that to her.

"Yes, we can see the animals that will lick too. Now hurry up, before Rito does something perverted to you!" Nana grabbed Mea's hand and ran upstairs to their warp spot in the hall. In an instant they were gone, in the artificially distorted space that exists in their attic.

"Well it looks like everyone is going to go back to doing their own thing now then. Yami would you like to learn how to make some sweet desserts, so that you have options other than Taiyaki?" Mikan grabbed her friend's hands, which made the assassin smile.

"Yes. I would appreciate that very much. Even though I do love Taiyaki, it would be nice to become acquainted with other desserts from Earth." With that confirmation Mikan began to drag Yami away towards the door, so that they could begin to get what they needed for their dessert.

"Hey Rito, I plan on making some homemade ice cream with Yami. We don't have everything that we need to do that here, so I am going to take her out shopping for the ingredients with me. I am going to take Celine with me too and maybe get something for her" Mikan put her white shoes that were slip-on on her feet and opened the door. Before taking a step out of the house she stopped and looked back, "Good job today Onii-Chan, I am proud of you for what you did today, and I am glad that you were able to come home safely after all". With that Mikan and Yami stepped out of the house and closed the door behind them, leaving Lala, Rito, and Momo alone in the living room with Zastin.

"Well Rito-Dono, I congratulate you on your successful quest of making yourself whole again." Zastin stook up and began to walk towards the door. "I will tell King Deviluke of your success in handling this situation, I am sure that he would be pleased to hear about this. Have a good day Lala-Sama, Momo-Sama." With that, Zastin stepped outside of the door and a beam of light appeared, teleporting him back to his ship.

"I think that father hearing about this will be a good thing for you Rito-San. I am sure that he will think better of you now that he sees that you can fight on your own if you need to." Momo grabbed onto Rito's right arm and leaned her head onto his shoulder.

Lala grabbed onto Rito's left arm and did the same as Momo, "I am proud of you too Rito. I will always do my best to make sure nothing bad happens to you, I don't want you to have to take things on your own, even if you can handle it. We are supposed to be able to do things together as a team, we don't need to do anything on our own." Lala began to pull on the arm that she was clinging to and began to drag both Rito and Momo down to the couch to sit down.

Rito looked over at both of the girls that were clinging onto him and thought to himself, "I do feel proud and her saying that does mean a lot to me." Rito did not realize it, but he was starting to become lost in Lala's green eyes.

Letting go of Rito's arm and beginning to sit upright Momo began to notice what was happening, "Come on Rito-San, I can see that look that you're giving her. Just give her a kiss already, it's not like it would be the first time that you kissed her or anything."

Rito, feeling very relaxed now, used his right thumb and index finger, and placed them on Lala's chin. He then began to lightly lift up, so that he could lift her lips up to his and gave her a deep kiss, which came to Lala's surprise, her eyes widened for a bit, before relaxing and closing them. "He's starting to kiss me more and more now. He's finally opening up and being less afraid to show his affection. I really love this!"

After a few seconds Rito broke off the kiss, with the engaged couple looking each other in the eyes. A smile on both of their faces, with a small strand of saliva connecting their lips still. Realizing what he just did out of nowhere made Rito blush, "That was really nice, wasn't it?"

"Yes it was Rito, and I love you very much!" Lala hugged her fiance.

Momo was still on the couch watching her sister and the target of her love kiss, she had a twinkle in her eye and was very excited to see what she just saw, giving a devilish smirk she decided to tease her favorite person. "Hey Rito-San, when is it going to be my turn for a kiss huh?"

"Wait… wh-what?" Rito was surprised to hear Momo say that, especially while in front of her sister.

"You just gave Onee-San a nice kiss and I was just here all alone, only able to watch and not being able to participate in your affection." Momo began to get closer to Rito again and put one hand on his chest and began to rub it, "I think that it would only be fair that you do the same to me."

Rito could not respond to her as he began to freeze as she got closer and closer to his face, "She's about to kiss me and there is nothing I can do about it since I can't move, and Lala isn't even doing anything to stop it!"

"You're so cute Rito-San." Momo was right about to make her lips connect to his, but right before she could, she felt something large and soft in her hands. Momo stopped and looked down to see that she was holding onto a very large breast, "Ummm Rito-San, why are you a girl again? I didn't even see Onee-San pull out any inventions or anything be able to make this happen again."

"Lala! What's going on? Why am I Riko again!" Riko sighed as she looked down at her female body.

"Hmm, I think that I'll have to look into that. I didn't do anything to make this happen, the only thing that I can think of is that the merging of Kronos back into you did something strange since you were a girl right before it happened." Lala's innocent smile began to turn a bit more mischievous, "Maybe I should get a more thorough examination of your female body Rito.

"You know, I said that I am getting more comfortable with this whenever I change into Riko, but that doesn't mean that I want you guys to keep messing with my body."

Momo looked over at her sister, who she could tell was once again trying to seduce Rito, "I think I am just going to let them be and see what happens later." She thought to herself. "Alright Rito-San, Onee-San I think I am going to go tend to my flowers upstairs. Have fun you two!" Momo got up and began to go up the stairs.

"WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN MOMO!?" Riko began to feel really nervous again, "Dammit she did that on purpose, so that we would just be left alone." Riko thought to herself as she got pushed down onto the couch with Lala on top of him. "Wait Lala what are you doing?"

"I told you, I am going to examine your body now, so if you would please take off your clothing so that I can begin the examination." Lala then began to pull off Riko's shirt, making her cover herself once again. "Now how am I supposed to get a good look at your body if you are going to keep covering yourself like that?"

"You don't need to examine me like this Lala! If you really need to I will let you, but this is definitely not a normal examination."

"It'll be ok Rito, there's no one else here, so why won't you let me?" Lala asked with a genuinely curious tone of voice.

"Well, because I just don't… uh feel comfortable with that.." Riko stammered out trying to find the right words to explain how she feels.

"Well, I know that you'll become more comfortable with this over time. You are starting to kiss me more often now too. It'll just be a matter of time before you do get comfortable with this." Lala's tail started to wave back and forth, and she began to let up on Rito.

"You know you're starting to sound more and more like Momo every time you do something like this." Riko sat back up while continuing to cover herself up.

Lala thought about that for a moment before continuing,"You know Rito, I did say that you should confess to Haruna and then after we get officially married you could marry her too and the three of us could live happily ever after." Lala reminded him with an innocent enough looking smile on her face. "I think that you should also consider adding Momo to that."

That statement made Riko's jaw drop a bit, "Wait what do you mean by that! Now you are really sounding like Momo."

That comment made Lala cock her head a bit, "Wait, what do you mean that makes me sound a lot more like Momo?"

"Oh no, does she not know about Momo's harem plan? This isn't good, I'm sure that if Momo didn't say anything about it to her, then she did it for a reason. I think it would probably be best if I don't tell her about her plan right now, even if I'm not exactly sure if I want to go along with it in the first place." Riko thought to herself as she looked into Lala's emerald eyes. "Umm. I mean nothing ha ha... it's nothing."

"That sounds really suspicious Rito. I feel like there is something more to this than what you're letting on. Maybe, I could persuade you to tell me what it is?" Lala once again got closer to Riko and grabbed onto one of her breasts.

"Wait Lala, it really is nothing, you don't need to keep touching me!" Riko began to panic, "Come on let go of me!"

"Nope, not going to happen! This is fun. I think your breasts are about the same size as mine Rito, do you like big boobs?" Lala began to pick and tease at him.

Riko's eyes opened wide as she felt Lala place her right hand on her stomach, "Lala what are you doing?" Lala's hand began to travel down lower and lower, "Alright! I'll tell you! Just stop touching me and move your hand away from there."

"Thanks Rito." Lala removed her hands from Riko's body and gave her a chance to put her shirt back on, Lala sat back up and watched Rito with an almost childlike look of curiosity on her face.

"I really don't understand how you can go from being so aggressive, to going back to super innocent and cute." Riko sighed as she adjusted her clothing.

"Sooooo are you going to tell me what you meant now, or am I going to have to go back to being naughty with you? I don't mind either way ya know?" Lala winked at her, now female, fiance.

"Yeah, I'll tell you. Just stop with the handsy approach to everything. The thing I was talking about is that Momo has a plan that is similar to yours when it comes to me marrying you and Haruna. The difference between your plan and hers is that she doesn't plan to stop adding people to that after you and Haruna." Riko looked away from Lala, breaking eye contact.

"So Momo wants you to have a harem?" Lala looked down and brought her hand up to her face while thinking, after what felt like an eternity of Lala thinking to Riko, she brought her hands together and clapped,"This could be something that really works out well!"

"What do you mean that this is something that can go well! I thought that you would be against this honestly."

"Well if you have a harem, I am assuming that Momo has all of our friends in mind! That means that we can all be happy together, and It means that we can all spend time together forever. I would be happy with that and would not complain about that at all!" Lala jumped up and punched her fist up in the air, "I think that this is fantastic and that we should go upstairs and talk to Momo about this right now!" Lala grabbed the fully clothed Riko and began to run up the stairs, dragging her along behind her until they got to the teleporter in the hallway. Rito and Lala used the teleporter and she continued to quickly run into Momo's room, bursting through the door without knocking.

"Momo, I think your harem plan is a wonderful idea and I am super excited about it!" Lala shouted.

"Onee-San, Rito-San!" Momo shouted with a wide eyed look of surprise on her face, "What's going on?"

"Hey Momo, are you alright? Your face is really red." Riko asked as she began to take steps towards the mischievous princess.

"Yeah, I am alright, it's just a bit warm in the room right now." Momo smiled at the two as she adjusted herself, so that they wouldn't see that she was rubbing on her tail right before they came in, "Why did they just run in here without knocking on the door? That is something that is unlike them, they usually don't come in here, but when they do come in they always knock." Momo thought to herself as she tried her best to calm herself down and relax. "Wait a second, what did you say Onee-San?"

"I said that I really like your harem plan and I want it to happen!" Lala had a very big smile on her face as she ran up to her sister, grabbing her hand and pulling her up so that she could hug her, "It's such a good idea, it's better than mine to just have it be Haruna and I with Rito!"

"I am glad to hear that you think that my plan is a good idea, Onee-San." As she was hugging her older sister she could look over Lala's shoulder and look right at Riko, "Oh man Rito-san. I don't know what you did, but It seems like big sis is really happy with this. This is going to be fun." Momo thought to herself as she began to think of all of the possibilities. Momo gave Riko a wink and broke away from her hug from her sister.

"Oh no, what have I done?" Riko sighed.
