Sorry about not updating earlier, but I got drafter to do manual labor around here, so I was unexpectedly busy. Also, blame EX Nine if the next update doesn't come soon, he's fatally distracted me.

[x] “Come on in Kaguya.”
There's no doubt in your mind as to who it is. You stare at the silhouette for a bit longer, recognizing the general shape and dimensions of the person. It should be fairly obvious who it is now, but you check again to be sure. That height, build, lack of any rough protrusions or visible ornaments.. It can only be one person that you know of. Well, only one person that you can think that might come visit your room suddenly at night like this.
“Come on in, Kaguya.” You say, certain of who it is.
“Thanks Shirou.” The familiar lunarian says while coming in. She closes the door behind and her and comes to your position. It distracts you momentarily the fact that you think that you see something. You see Kaguya's feet hovering just above the ground. But you shake your head and when you look again you see that it was just your imagination. She's dressed in her usual garb, but something is a bit off about them. Are they not fastened as tightly as usual?
Kaguya sits by the edge of you futon, directly to your right. You can't see much of her face due to the poor illumination, but the soft rays of light from the moon reflect on her hair. This causes her fine long strands to shimmer with an almost ethereal beauty. It's hard not to be captivated by the transient glow that seems to come from her. More than ever, you feel like stroking her soft black hair and gently brushing it. Yet, before you can take steps to even touch it, Kaguya starts speaking.
“Now, now Shirou... there will be time for that later. For now listen to what I have to say.”
“Uh, sure...” You uneasily reply. You can't help but think that she somehow read your mind just now. It's a disturbing thought.
“I have to complete my mission here. And I don't have much time.” She says as you look at her face. You can make out her eyes quite clearly along with her soft and refined features now. In fact, you can almost see them as clear as day. “You should heed my words carefully, since they might save you.”
“Save... me?” You have no idea what she's talking about.
“Yes that's right. There's something going on behind the scenes which you probably have no clue about. If you're not careful you might get used as a pawn and, even worse, be disposed of like one.” You can tell by the glimmer in her eyes that she's being completely serious, so you just obediently listen to her. “I see that you understand the gravity of this matter. Good.”
Kaguya brings her face closer to yours, leaning in quite a bit.
“Now listen well.” She says in a soft voice. “I am not at liberty to say this freely, and I'm taking a rather large risk in saying this.” You lean closer as well, taking a cue from her. “Your foe is closer to you than you would guess. You may have not noticed yet, but that which wishes to hold you back is real close.”
“I don't get it. I don't know what you're talking about.” You say, not entirely sure of why you said it. A wide grin forms on Kaguya's face.
“You'll know what I'm talking about. I'm sure you've seen hints of it already. You can't stick your head in the sand and expect it to go away just like that. Sooner or later it'll hit you, and you'll panic.” You back away a bit, slightly startled. “But don't worry, you'll do fine. Yes – you have to do fine. Otherwise there will be no meaning. And I know that you want things to have a meaning.”
There's a part of you that understands what she's talking about. You try to disavow it, push it to a dark recess. But it's too late, you know you have the knowledge. A whole range of emotions are unleashed within you. Anger, sadness, loneliness; feelings you've felt before, but never with such intensity. You don't quite understand why this is happening, but you can't simply ignore it now. Much like Pandora's box you think that this might be a source of suffering and misfortune. You just wish that what remains inside of you might be hope.
You look upon Kaguya again. She's retracted herself a bit now. And is sitting next to you with a cold stare. You try to tell her something, but find that the words will not come out of your throat. No matter how hard you try, you can't quite say what you mean to say. Not even a squeak. You gesture to your throat, hoping that Kaguya can help you out. She sits there, watching with a cold gaze.
“Don't worry about it Shirou.” Kaguya states, observing your current situation. “It's only natural that your body would react this way. You are starting to realize it. It's cause and effect really. It'll pass before too long. Besides, this gives me a good opportunity to say something I've been meaning to say for a while.” She smiles at you. But this isn't like her previous grin. You can detect actual warmth and kindness coming from it. This relaxes you a bit, and you stop struggling by trying to speak.
You instead sit up, facing Kaguya directly. You can't help but feel that there's something wrong here, but when you look at Kaguya you see your buddy. With no strings attached.
“Since you're an indecisive lout, I might have to take a decision for you.” She says in a cryptic tone. You tilt your head, not understanding what it is that she means. “But I'm not worried, I'm sure that if you are just there when I need you things will work out. You may not even realize that yet, but you'll know it when it counts. All is not lost yet.”
In the blink of an eye, Kaguya disappears from in front of you. You have no idea where she's gone.
“Behind you.” Kaguya's voice says.
You turn around and are surprised to see Kaguya lying there, with one hand supporting her head and her body sideways. Her appearance has almost completely changed. Her clothes... they're loose to the point that they look like they could fall off at any moment. The openings in her attire reveal her clear fair skin in various places. You can see most of her shoulder, legs, and other parts. You gulp almost instinctively.
“How did you do that?” You ask, surprised to find that your voice has returned.
“When one can control eternity, feats like those are child's play.” She answers plainly. “Now then, we don't have much time, we should make use of it properly.”
“Huh, time? What are you talking about?”
“There's no time to discuss it. Just come on over here.” Using her free arm, Kaguya grabs you by the torso, pulling you closer to her.
You lose your balance and fall on your side. Kaguya's bosom is about at the same height as your sight now. You automatically peek at her chest through the openings on her clothes. Because of the darkness you can't make anything out. You feel a trickle of warm air next to your ear now.
“I see that you're interested. It's such a shame that it's dark now. I would so like you to look at them properly. But oh well, for what we're about to do, we don't need light.” Kaguya's voice filters into your ears with a breathy tone.
You turn your head to see Kaguya's smiling face above you. She's got a bewitching smile that seems to strike you to your very core. You smell a fragrance coming from her. It's unlike any smell you've noticed around her before. You don't know why, but it's enough to make you go crazy. It's a refined fragrance that alludes to maturity and elegance. You can't help but associate it with images of glamorous older women. Is this Kaguya's true scent? You hadn't felt it before, but you don't let that fact stop you from becoming extremely aroused.
Kaguya giggles as she notices your excitement, and her silky long hair drapes just above you, touching you here and there.
“Well then, let's get started. You seem like you've waited long enough.”
