Poked around for an appropriate image for a while, closest I can do is this!
[X]See if Ran is free.
------
Ran! Of course, that seems to be the best course of action at this point. Any time spent with Ran is time well spent. She was last in the kitchen, but she's probably done working by now. You head to the sitting room and slide the door open slightly, peeking in. Ran is sitting on the long couch, feet propped up and book in hand. A pair of reading glasses adorns her face at the moment. You've never seen her with glasses, she's absolutely adorable in them.
“Ran?” you call out to her quietly, pushing the door aside. She jumps at your sudden appearance and drops the book.
She looks up to you, a blush covering her face. “Oh, hello, I wasn't expecting you,” she says in return. Ran adjusts herself on the sofa, offering space beside her. You're more than happy to join her and you cross the room to do so.
After settling down on the seat, you look over to her with a smile. “They suit you, you know.”
She cocks her head as if not understanding initially. “Oh!” she exclaims in realization. “Thank you, I don't use them very often. Yukari likes to tease me about them.” Ran's eyes flick down to the book and back to you.
“What were you reading?” you inquire, bending down to retrieve the dropped book. Before she can speak, you read the title aloud. “A Guide to Understanding Human-Youkai Relationships.” She blushes profusely and snatches the book from your hand.
“It's nothing, just an old book from different times,” she says. Indeed, the book is old. You have a chance to look at the back now that she's holding it. The book seems to be dated from about four or five hundred years ago. It's hard to fathom that Ran is as old as she is, or the others in the house for that matter.
You reach up and push the book aside, encouraging her to set it down on the table. “Why do you need a book to tell you that sort of stuff?”
Ran shakes her head slightly. “I'm not used to dealing with men, especially human men,” she answers.
Laughing quietly, you offer her a kind smile. “I don't think a book can really teach you that sort of thing, Ran.” She watches you with curiosity, waiting for your next words. “I think the best thing that you can do is what your instincts tell you,” you continue, sounding like some sort of wizened old sage. “Always trust them, Ran.”
Her face is beet red now, and her teeth chew nervously on her lower lip. “So I should do what they say, then?” she inquires. You give her an encouraging nod. “My instincts tell me I should have done this from the moment you sat down.” Ran leans over to you and presses her lips to your own. Your eyes widen in surprise, not having expected her to be so bold. She sighs contentedly and shuts her eyes, kissing your lips fondly. She takes your hand in her own and wraps her fingers within yours. The kiss is broken and she sits back up, grinning stupidly at you like some sort of lovestruck teenager.
“I like your instincts, Ran,” you chuckle. “Aren't you glad you went with them?”
She nods and releases your hand. “There's one other thing they are telling me to do right now,” she tells you. Ran stands up from the sofa. “Would you mind waiting here?” she asks. “I'll be back in just a moment.” You nod and relax on the sofa, kicking your legs up to remove them from her path. She walks past and out of the room.
“What have I gotten myself into?” you wonder aloud while waiting for your companion.
A quiet laugh echoes in your ear, followed by a familiar voice. “Something good, my friend,” whispers Nue in your ear. “I actually have a tiny favor to ask of you before bed tonight.”
You sigh audibly and nod with hesitation. “Alright, tell me then, but for the mean time keep it quiet, nobody else knows you are here and it would be best to keep it that way,” you tell her firmly. The ring squeezes lightly on your finger and Nue goes silent. Not a moment too soon, either. Ran enters the room in short order. You glance over to her and are stunned by what she is wearing. A silky dress, reminiscent of her usual wear, covers her body. Stockings and garters clothe her legs, and long gloves run up her arms. Ran seems to be a bit embarrassed by her appearance, but once she realizes your approval her confidence seems to return a bit. “I didn't know you had something like that, Ran,” you say.
She blushes slightly and nods. “Yukari bought me this many years ago,” she replies. “She said it would be good for attracting a man, but up until now,” she pauses, swallowing nervously. Well, it certainly does show a very Yukari-like taste in clothing. “I've never had a man I wanted to attract.” You lower your legs from the sofa as Ran sits down beside you. “It looks nice, doesn't it?”
“You look absolutely stunning in it,” you answer. You can't help but wonder how she'd look with the glasses on, though.
Ran leans in and kisses you lightly on the cheek. “Thank you,” is all she says before drifting off into silence. The two of you stare at one another for what seems like an eternity. She slowly lifts from her seat and slides into your lap, sitting on it sideways. You reach up with one hand to stroke her cheek briefly, before setting it down on her soft and fluffy tails. “I like spending time with you like this.” You receive another gentle kiss.
You grin and return her affections eagerly. “I could say the same, it's a shame that we don't get to do this more often,” you say to her. Something has been bugging you for a bit, though. Ran shows you her adoration, but you wonder how she feels about your situation. “Ran, may I ask you a rather sensitive question?” you inquire. She nods and watches you with anticipation. “How do you feel about this whole thing?”
“What do you mean?” she asks.
You sigh quietly. “With me having to run off, sleeping with Yukari's friends and the others, does that bother you?”
Ran seems taken slightly aback but then shakes her head dismissively. “No, I understand,” she answers. “If the situation were more ordinary, then yes, I would be bothered.” She takes your hand and pulls it up onto her lap. “But things work differently in this place, and I realize that.” She squeezes your hand gently. “I would prefer to be able to keep you all to myself and perhaps have a normal relationship, but we can't,” Ran says with a hint of sadness in her voice. “With that said, I am happy to have someone like you around.” Her tone and expression pick up a bit. “Even if I wasn't very pleased with you at first,” she teases.
You chuckle briefly and then lean in to kiss her on the mouth. “You most certainly weren't, were you?” you ask rhetorically. “You really are quite beautiful in this dress,” you say, shifting the conversation.
“I didn't really care for the dress at first, but the more I think about it, the more I like it.” Ran shifts in your lap, her butt pressing down against your crotch. “It makes me feel sexy, and that's something I don't get to feel very often,” she adds with a sigh.
You raise an eyebrow and slip your hand from hers, running it along the smooth dress and placing it on her stomach. “That's a bit of an understatement, isn't it?” You close your eyes and kiss her on the lips affectionately. She moans and presses back against you, returning the sentiment. One hand gently strokes her tails and the other slides up her stomach and cups her right breast from below. Your eyes open and the kiss is broken. Ran's head leans back slightly, her own eyes shut, as you squeeze her sizable bust. You release the breast and reach up, pushing one of the dress straps from her shoulder. The dress slips down and exposes a translucent, lacy bra. Her hard nipple stands up beneath the fabric, begging to be teased. She gasps sharply when your fingers gently pinch the hardened tip. Ran's breasts jiggle slightly, still held mostly in place by the bra.
She shifts uncomfortably and shakes her head. “No, no, please, not yet,” she begs.
Pausing your assault, you release her chest. “Are you sure, Ran?” you inquire.
Ran nods and brings her head back up. “I want you, but I want you at the right time and in the right place,” she states. “Right now is neither for me.” You nod in understanding, it would be best not to push her when she doesn't want it. “I know you want it, but just wait a little bit longer, alright?”
“You just tell me when you're ready, Ran,” you reply. She lets out a quiet 'thank you' and kisses your cheek.
Sitting up properly, she slides from your lap and stands. “I did enjoy the time we spent together tonight, but I have some things to get done before bed.” You nod and give her a smile. “I'll see you tomorrow morning, and we'll get together after breakfast.” Ran moves past you gracefully, heading for the door. “Please don't think I'm leaving because you made me uncomfortable, I really do have things to get done,” she says reassuringly.
You nod in understanding. “Go, finish up what you need to do, we'll do stuff together tomorrow,” you tell her. She nods and leaves the room, quietly closing the sliding door behind her.
You sigh in exasperation as she disappears. “Don't even say a word, Nue, please,” you plead.
“Oh?” she chuckles. “I wasn't going to, but now that you've got a few moments alone...”
Groaning quietly, you throw yourself backwards on the sofa. “All right, what was your request going to be?”
She giggles softly and materializes on your stomach, the weight of her light frame pressing down on you. “I can take the shape of many things, aside from what you've seen so far,” she starts. You watch her curiously. “If you ever need a condom, I'd like to request that you use me instead.”
“What do you mean?” you ask. She places a pale finger on your lips as if to silence you. Her form fades from you and is replaced by a long, rubbery condom that falls onto your chest.
“Think of it like the ring,” she clarifies. “Do you understand now?” You nod and pick the condom up between two fingers. “I won't do anything funny, and I'll repay the favor in the future,” Nue says, shifting into a more lustful tone for the second half of her comment. The condom reforms back into a ring, which is returned to your finger.
You sit up and sigh once more. “We'll see,” you answer. Standing up from the sofa, you stretch and glance around the room. You laugh upon noticing the book on the table. Things definitely turned out better this way than anything she could have gleaned from that book. The two of you stayed here an awfully long time and it is now night out. You head towards the door and leave the room yourself, making your way back to the room shared by Kogasa and yourself.
The house is eerily silent at this time. You'd expect Chen to be running around at the very least, or maybe some noise from Kogasa. You're not even sure what happened to dinner, but that's alright, you aren't particularly hungry. That silence is broken as you approach the hallway containing Yukari's room and your own. The sound of two women talking can be heard. You approach quietly, listening to the voices. You can't make out what is being said, but you recognize one voice as Yukari. The other seems much more youthful, but it isn't anyone you know. This must be your master's friend.
