Richard stared out across the blue expanse of water, a warm breeze gently slipping through his hair. The day before they had just arrived on Teralist. He was introduced to her entire family, father, mother, three sisters and an assortment of cousins, aunts and uncles. They reminded him of the wealthy families back on earth, leading a carefree life on the beach.
Even with ten plus people living in Kikata's home it seemed like a castle. The massive dining room was breathtaking, not to mention the assortment of drinks and food. Fisc had stopped by briefly to introduce himself, but he would be coming by later tonight to show Richard around town.
His eyes wandered across the impressively wide beach front, he could almost imagine himself back home. His gaze fell on Kikata, her pale skin distinguishing her from the much tanner members of her family. Almost all of them shared her dark hair and fur, though the bright golden yellow eyes were unique to her, one of her sisters and her father. A tall and fit man stood next to Kikata, carefully pampered short brown hair sitting atop his head in a way Richard found particularly annoying. A nimble, thin tail flicked from side to side behind him.
"So Runo is a Fela eh?" Richard grumbled to himself. He hated to admit it, but he was jealous. The more he denied it to himself the more he realized how true it was. The more he gawked at Kikata in her tightly fitting two piece the more he reflected on the body that he had witnessed just barely contained beneath the taunt blue fabric.
He heard a series of booms followed by a massive crash, a long dark shadow looming over him.
"Sitting around huh?" A soft voice asked.
Richard turned to see Kikata's older sister, Kikarra. As Richard learned it was common practice among Teralist natives for daughters and sons to share the same root sound as their corresponding parent. For example Kikata's mothers name was Kikai (spelled as pronounced for us english speakers). Her three daughters are named, from oldest to youngest, Kikarra, Kikata, Kikala, and Kikap. Richard wondered what it must have been like to grow up in a house of four daughters. He himself came from a family of three brothers.
"Still sitting around, Richard?" Kikarra asked with a concerned look. Kikarra was into her late twenties in human years, a good bit older than Kikata and her other sisters. Out of the three sisters she seemed the only other with real ambitions out of marrying a nice man and living the life on the beach. She was well educated, spoke many languages, and held a job in some business.
Richard shrugged, "A little too big out there for me." He chuckled, "I'll avoid getting trampled by some little kids for now."
Kikarra laughed, "I could hardly imagine what it must be like. I could take you out to the water if you like? Keep an eye open." She said with a wink.
Richard nodded, he figured he may as well live it up while he could, "Alright." He brushed some sand from his shorts as he stood, stepping up onto Kikarra's well manicured hand which she had placed down next to him. She rose to her feet slowly, holding Richard out in front of her as she walked out towards the water. She called something out to the others in their native language, Richard heard his name thrown in there. He still felt a little embarrassed when he was handled like this. He felt like the families new puppy, or something along those lines.
~ ~ (I will split these areas for Richard and Kikata's perspectives, when from her perspective the dialog will be written in english though will often be in their native language)~ ~
Kikata took hold of Runo's hand as she walked over towards her older sister, Richard seated awkwardly on her outstretched hand.
"Going for a swim?" She asked her sister with a small grin.
Kikarra nodded, "He looked bored."
Kikata laughed, "Alright, sounds like a good time."
"Not for me." Runo said with a shrug. He leaned forward and gave Kikata a kiss on the cheek, "I'm going to go answer a few calls."
"Work? But I just got here!" Kikata pouted.
"I know, but I promise to make it up to you later."
Kikata rolled her eyes, watching Runo walk back up the beach, leaning down to grab his shirt before climbing the tall dunes towards the house. She joined her other three sisters who had gathered by Kikarra's side. Neither Kikala nor Kikat spoke a word of english, however each of her younger sisters were insatiably obsessed with the tiny human, like many neko were. They shared the same star struck infatuation with him because he was a human soldier, the very same type that they saw in so many movies. And even Kikata had to admit that Richard was handsom, and somewhat charming.
~ ~ ~ ~
Richard glanced from sister to sister, finally looking up towards Kikata. It was a sight to behold, that was for sure. But it was made all the more awkward for him knowing that not a single one of these girls was available, at least not available within good taste. For starters Kikat was equivalent to a sixteen year old human girl, even Richard would not stoop that low. Kikarra was happily married herself and Richard was pretty sure that Kikala had a boyfriend of some sort, a woman as strikingly beautiful as herself had to. But overall even if one were single Richard felt obligated not to hit on his partners family members.
"You look tense?" Kikata asked with a laugh.
"You try being carried around all the time." He replied, trying to mask the real reason for his nervous composure. Alls he could see was a wall of cleavage that surrounded him, and that dark hair, and those pretty eyes. He shook his head, this was too much for one guy to handle...where was Kina when he needed her?
Kikata lowered her hand down over him, "Here, maybe I can help you relax."
"I have a feeling this wont help." He groaned. He watched as Kikata turned and started to wade out into the water. He peered over the edge of her hand, the waves and water crashing against her thighs in massive bursts of mist like waves crashing into stone cliffs. He couldn't help but wonder what things like water and sand felt like at the size of nekos.
~ ~ ~ ~
"So is it true you really swallowed him?" Kikat asked curiously.
"Twice." Kikata laughed.
"How did he react?"
"Well. He was less than thrilled, both times."
The girls shared a laugh, Kikata eyed Richard playfully who seemed to know that they were laughing at his expense. She brought her hand to what she figured as a safe level, flashing Richard one more grin before turning her hand over and dropping him in.
Richards ears would be filled with a roar of girlish laugher as he plummeted a good twenty feet down into the clear water.
~ ~ ~ ~
Richard opened his eyes, a herd of tiny bubbles rushing up towards the surface as he hung idly in the cool liquid world. The laughs and voices from above echoed around him. His now long hair drifted around his head as he looked around at the massive pillars of smooth tan skin and supple womanly curves. It nearly made him want to scream out in frustration. Kina was right, he did get lonely out there.
He kicked his legs and breached the surface. "Funny." He called up. The view was even more unbearable than the one from Kikarra's hand. Now not only was he surrounded by walls of soft, sexual flesh. But now they were shining with moisture. He never dreamed being surrounded by four beautiful women could be so torturous, but here he was literally floating in a sea filled with women he couldn't have.
~ ~ ~ ~
Richard let out a sigh of relief, finally he could get out and enjoy himself. At least that was the plan.
"So what's the plan?" He called up to Fisc.
"Let's see. We'll go to some bars, and then see where the night takes us."
"Sounds about right." Richard chuckled.
He watched as Fisc leaned into a sleek black vehicle. He spoke to the driver briefly before leaning back into the seat.
"So, how was your day with Kikata and family?"
"Rough." Richard laughed.
"Oh yeah?"
He nodded, "Apparently drop the human into the water is a new pass time here. I thought I'd never get the water out of my ear."
Fisc snorted, "Complain about being rough handled by the four most sought after sisters on the coast?"
"That's just it! They are all breathtaking and yet so unattainable. It's a dick tease man." Richard thought a moment, "And don't tell Kikata I said that. The last thing I need is her flaunting that fact over me."
"Ahh. You've got what us guys on the Force call Eathilia gunto!"
"Eathil-what?"
"I think it translates to...how do you say...Space balls." Fisc laughed, his hand cupping his groin for a moment, "And let me tell you I am suffering the same fate. You and me both need to find ourselves some kind ladies tonight."
~ ~ ~ ~
Kikata sighed, she had wanted to go out with the boys tonight but Runo, along with her family insisted she stay in.
"What's wrong?" Runo asked sitting next to her on the couch in her families wide and lavish living room.
Kikata shrugged, "Nothing really. I'm just bored." Her golden eyes met his, "Come on let's go out. I've been on duty for so long I want to let off some steam."
"Those bars are just so filthy. And now more than ever with so many of those damn-" He noticed Kikata's brow raising as he was about to refer to her fellow comrades in a derogatory way. He sighed, "Alright, but let me tell you the news first."
"News?"
Runo nodded, "I...got the promotion."
Kikata gasped, the bitterness suddenly disappearing with a sense of pride for her love, "Oh! Runo! I am so happy!" She wrapped her arms around him and gave him a long kiss upon the lips.
Runo grinned proudly, "Yup. You are officially looking at the man who foresees all imports and exports from Teralist." He leaned in closer and whispered, "Not to mention a man that could afford to send you to any exotic location you might like with hardly a thought."
Kikata smiled at the thought. A life that lived more like a permanent vacation, "It's a nice dream."
"Dream? No Kikata it's a reality now. We did it." He kissed her on the cheek, "Now, be reasonable...how important to you is this Nova Guard thing? Now I know you want to do something with your life. I respect that completely you know I do. But why restrain yourself to their program? With my help you could go help twice as many planets of your choosing! Send the aid where it's needed most."
"I can't just abandon the Guard. Not in the middle of my first mission of all times! I was just awarded two medals and given responsibilities!"
"With my connections? You could be out and living your life within days. Hours even. Look let me make a call-"
"Runo. I love you and I know you mean well. But let's not be brash? I enjoy what I do. I really do."
"I know." He smiled, "You keep me in line. It's just I am so excited."
~ ~ ~ ~
Richard bounced slightly atom Fisc's shoulder as they made their way into the bar. Fisc had mentioned this place was popular among the Guards and other military men and women. So it was no surprise that they were met with a lot of uniforms. A constant drone of cheers and shouts echoed from the far end of the bar.
"Let's check it out." Fisc nearly shouted as they walked into the dimly lit bar.
They snaked their way through the crowd of cheering neko's until they stood infront of a large screen. Neither of them could believe what they saw.
A black and white video displayed on the screen. A dark hallway seemed all to familiar to Richard. He recoiled in disbelief as he watched an armored figure sprint across the screen, stopping briefly to fire weapon into a massing crowd of lanky pale creatures. Blood and debris sprayed against the gray walls, much to the cheering neko's delight.
"Is that..." Richard gasped. But he knew. That was him!
"They must be playing the surveillance video from that log you got."
"No fucking way." He muttered. He wasn't sure if he should feel disturbed or pride at the video. In that moment he was living in sheer violent terror. But here on the screen he looked like some sort of movie star.
"Here comes my part." Fisc mused quietly as they watched Richard sprint down the hall towards the exit. Once he dove through the small doorway in the top right left corner of the screen a large shadow enveloped the doorway. The camera shook violently as a series of flashes exploded from Fisc's rifle, sending bodies and debris scattering through the morbid hallway. Alls that was left afterward was smoke and blood.
"Christ..." Richard muttered.
But all the other neko watching were disconnected from the event. To them it was just an action movie. They weren't there to experience the terror of being hunted by a horde of bloodthirsty undead.
"What are they chanting?" Richard yelled over the storm of voices.
"Play it again, play it again." Fisc said. "You know what will shut them up?"
"Whats that?" Richard watched as Fisc moved in front of the screen, "Wait hang on I don't want to be-" He sighed, too late.
"Why watch the man on the screen when I've got him right here on my shoulder!" Fisc called out the crowd. He grinned as they all fell silent. "That's right. The very same human in that video is right here in the flesh." He offered a hand to Richard so he might be displayed for all to see. Richard climbed on reluctantly, waving out towards the wide eyed crowd nervously.
There was a moment of silence. Then with a new sense of vigor the crowd cheered and surrounded Fisc chanting "Richard! Richard!"
Richard couldn't help but grin.
