Chapter 141: Kouta gets married.

When I woke up, I found myself numb. I slept in the nursery that night with Kizuna.  I had a nightmare that night.  No, it wasn’t one of Ume cheating on me… it was far worse.  It was a dream where I was married to her…  About five years down the road, Ume was my beautiful bride, and so was Chikako.  I had two kids, a boy and a girl.  Mom was just mom, I hadn’t crossed the line with her.

Kizuna was a lovely Onee-chan to my children.  Chikako and I were working hard, and Ume was taking care of the children and the house.  Every night was heaven, and we were all happy.

I kept my visits to Kanae private, and there was no interference. There was no Ruru, there was no Shi-chan.  Mafuyu remained only Kanae’s friend, there was no garden, no stress from so many women, from not being able to give them their proper attention and love.

Everything was perfect.

And then Kizuna’s little cry shattered that dream.

I woke up, and had to force myself from my numbness to see to her.

“Yosh, yosh… Onii-papa is here.  Are you hungry?  I think mama left a bottle around here…?”

I find one next to the crib on a table, and feed her.

“You like mama’s milk too don’t you?  Yeah, it’s better from the source, isn’t it?  Well, let’s let mama sleep in a little bit more… then you can have the good stuff a bit later.”

One of the additions to the nursery mom picked up was a rocking chair, so cradling her carefully, we rocked until she finished.  She gave a healthy burp, and then she went back to sleep.

The life of a baby is so simple and clean.

Did you do this for me too, mom?  Or was it dad or Kanae in place of you?

I set her carefully down in her crib, and ventured out into the living room.

On the couch in the living room was Kanae.

“Onee-chan?”

“I figured you needed me.”

“Talked to Shi-chan?”

Kanae shakes her head.

“I don’t need words to know when you need me.”

Kanae gets up from the couch and comes over, enveloping me with her embrace.

“How are you handling it?”

“I’m not.  I… don’t want to give her up.”

“Even after what she did to you?”

“Even after that.  But… she was so hurt, she couldn’t even show regret.”

“Regret isn’t always immediate, Kouta.  Sometimes we do crazy things when we think you aren’t loving us like we need to be loved…”

“You talking about that?”

“Yeah.  I would have done it ten thousand times, if I thought it would work even once.”

“Kanae…”

“Just give it time with Ume.  Maybe… maybe she will move on, maybe not.  If she can show you that regret later, and can accept a different place in the garden… I’ll support you in bringing her back.”

“Why?”

“Because she’s necessary for you.  Unlike all your other flowers, she’s your sense of normalcy, isn’t she?  She’s selfish, and wants to be spoiled, and held above everyone else.  You know, that’s what a normal relationship is like.  What you have with the garden… none of it is normal.”

“Haah… why do you so easily put into words what my feelings are?”

“Who do you think raised you?”

“You did.”

“I did.”

“Did mom breastfeed me?”

“What, you think a five year old has milk?”

“...”

“Reiko did.  Until you were one, you sucked her titties like a champ.”

I smile a bit at that.

“You know… I tried it once with you.”

“Eh?”

“Yeah.  When mom and dad weren’t looking.  I tried to feed you.  You had one tooth, and you bit my little titty.”

“Onee… were you always weird?”

“Only for you.  You know, it wasn’t until I found out mom was cheating on dad that I learned my real feelings for you.  I never wanted you to have to worry about going through something like that.  What you want for Kizuna, is what I wanted for you.  To never have to be hurt and betrayed by a woman.  What I did to you with Shi-chan… that’s my regret.  That I ended up being a woman who hurt you.  Yet, it’s that reason I can understand Ume, and why I will forgive her.”

“I wish I never set those rules…”

I go a bit slack in her arms.

“Want Onee-chan to make you feel better?”

“You already have.”

“I was thinking of a name for our baby.”

“Oh, what have you come up with?”

“Yuki.”

“...Yuki?”

“Yeah, because I am so lucky to have her, so Yuki for Luck.”

“It’s missing something…”

“Like what?”

“An e.  How about Yukie?”

“That sounds like an old lady’s name.”

“Really? I always liked it in your name… it’s why I never enjoyed calling you Kana-chan.”

“Yukie…  for beautiful?”

“Yukie for eternal fortune.”

“...Yukie…”

“My Kanae and her Yukie.”

“Our Yukie.”

“Aa.. Our eternal fortune.”

Onee-chan and I look lovingly at each other.

“Oh just fuck already!” Mom comes out of the room in her nightgown, and heads to the porch, teasing us along the way.

“Just cause you can’t get any for a while, don’t ruin our moment, you old hag.”

“I just fed Kizuna and put her down…” I say to mom.

“Alright dear, I just woke up anyway.  I wanted to see how you were doing.”

“I’m not prepared for today, I just want to crawl into bed, and wake up in a week.”

“Got something going on?”

“Ah, yeah.  Going to marry Shi-chan later today.”

“ “ WHAT!? “ “

Mom and Kanae react to that with surprise.

“When did you decide this?” Kanae asks me.

“Yesterday.  Ruru wants to be the mistress, I can’t marry mom or you, Chikako’s still underage, Mafuyu I can’t see as being interested in marrying me… the only other candidate is now gone… so it has to be Shi-chan… right?”

Both mom and Kanae look at each other, and nod.

“I didn’t think it needed a vote.  Unless you two have an issue?”

“No.  Shi-chan should have that role.” Mom tells me.

“I agree. If anything, it would be worse to have chosen Ume.  You need a strong wife, and Shi-chan is a strong woman.” Kanae follows up. “Just… be prepared for what it means to marry her.”

“Aa…?”

“Mom, got a light?”

Mom and Kanae enjoy a break, and I go to the kitchen for my morning cup of caffeine.  Making a cup of cola, Ruru comes out of mom’s room.

“Good morning Kouta-kun.”

“Good morning Ruru.”

“Good luck today.”

“Huh?”

“Shi-chan told me already.”

“Is that so…?”

“It’s fine.  I want that for you… being the legal wife?  Why take a demotion?  It’s so stress free being the mistress you know?”

Huh… so everyone’s really okay with it?  Alright.  Then it’s settled for sure.

“Speaking of Shi-chan… is she here?”

“She left last night… She said something about preparing a gift?”

“She said the same thing to me.  I guess I’ll find out later.”

“You should take Kanae’s room.  I’ll stay with Reiko-san.” Ruru pats me on the shoulder and walks over to join the flowers on the porch.

…

Ruru handed over a key to Kanae.

“Thanks, Ruru.”

“Aa.  I’m basically living here now, so I’m not using it anymore.”

“We’ll take good care of it.” Kanae says.

“??”

“Oh, I’m letting Kanae and Mafuyu have my apartment.”

“Why?”

“Let’s just say, it’s easier than you coming and going at Mappuchin’s place.”

I shrug.

“Plus, it’s so close to the seven and the studio, so it’s a win-win.  That and when we have kids, it’ll be less of a burden to Mappuchin’s mom.  Having a commuting husband who might bring along another woman to defile her daughter…  not everyone is as understanding, Kouta.”

I agree.  Alright, it’s fine with me, since it’s Ruru’s decision and not mine.

…

Kanae took me to the studio to find me a nice outfit to wear.  She thought it would be appropriate for the occasion.  Mafuyu was informed and she too didn’t mind that I was marrying Shi-chan.

“You’ll come play with us, right?”

“Of course!”

It seems that was enough for her.  Mafuyu has a big girl-crush on Shi-chan, and was looking forward to our next rendezvous.

“Kouta… I should know in a week.”

“Know what?”

“Whether my period comes or not.”

“...”

“Alright.  You look good.  Go and marry that caramel goddess, and secure us a wife.”

“Roger!”

…

I get to the office around four.

There’s no sign of Shi-chan.

My phone vibrates and I get a text:

DM>(Lotus):  Ko~u~ta<3

DM>(Lotus):  So… there’s a small thing that’s been kept from you since we started dating.

DM>(Lotus):  It’s not anything bad… but do you remember what you asked of me that day we met at Kii-chan’s place?

DM>(Gardener): Which one?  That I wanted your first time, or that I wanted all of you as my woman.

DM>(Lotus): Both.  You received the first one that night at the hotel.  The second one you will receive now.  Please turn around.

I turn around, and my heart nearly jumps out of my chest.

It’s Shi-chan… and Shi-chan?

Is one of them Shiho?  No… those are both the real thing… what’s going on!?  One of them looks like the normal Shi-chan… she’s got her hair up like usual with the red tie in it, only her hair is black.  The other has twintails, like she did that night at the hotel, her hair also black, and they both have those golden eyes that are unmistakable.  They are dressed identical, and if I had to try and guess which one was the real one… I wouldn’t be able to.

My phone buzzes as the one with twintails is typing something.

DM>(Lotus):  Kouta… this is the second wish you asked of me.  This is all of Nakada-san.  You see… we are identical twins.

DM>(Lotus):  We both love you, Kouta.  However, we can’t choose between us which one should marry you, so we want you to decide.

DM>(Lotus):  One of us, is the girl you saved.  The other is the girl you gave your first time to, and who gave you hers.  Thus making us both special to you.

DM>(Lotus):  However we agreed not to tell you who is who.

DM>(Lotus):  The Shi-chan you saved, is Shizu.  She’s the older one.

DM>(Lotus):  The Shi-chan you gave yourself to is Shiori.  She’s the younger one.

DM>(Lotus):  A long time ago… we came to an understanding.  We are both half of the same person.  The person called Junpei caused a problem with us… we became out of sync, for lack of a better term.

DM>(Lotus):  Being with you… has brought us back.  However it’s untenable to keep being apart from you as we have been up until now.

DM>(Lotus):  So we’d like you to pick one of us to be your legal wife.  Neither of us will be upset if the other is chosen.  In the end we will both be yours forever.

DM>(Gardener):  So… the one who was with my father… was Shizu?

DM>(Lotus): Yes.

DM>(Gardener):  What about the night… I lost it and hurt Ruru, Kanae and ...you?

DM>(Lotus):  That was Shiori.

DM>(Gardener):  The night of the hotel in Shibuya?

DM>(Lotus):  Also Shiori.

DM>(Gardener):  That night we had the first foursome with Kanae and Mafuyu?

DM>(Lotus): Both times were Shizu, actually.  Shiori hasn’t had a turn with Mafuyu yet.

DM>(Lotus):  Kouta… does it matter to know it now?  We’ll answer all of your questions afterwards, and to your satisfaction.

DM>(Gardener):  Why me?  Why do this play with me?

DM>(Lotus):  If you hadn’t rescued Shizu… she would have killed herself at that time.  To her, you are her reason to live, and her heart and mind are filled only with you.  Shiori on the other hand didn’t know you until the Aquarium date, but had come to love you over time, not just for Shizu’s sake, but for her own.  Kouta, we both love you.  We both want to be with you, together.  You are our fated person.

DM>(Lotus):  We both got a copy of the form, will you please fill each one out?

So I fill out two copies, their sides are blank.  I stamp it, and hand it back to each of them.  I still can’t figure out who is who.  Each of them in turn fills out their portion, and holds on to it.

DM>(Lotus): Let’s go register.  When we get to the desk, please choose which one of us will hand it over.

DM>(Gardener):  This is a strange way to do it.

DM>(Lotus): Sorry, but it’s how we want to settle it between us.

We go to the desk, and wait in line.  When it’s our turn I look at both.  

I can’t decide…  I…

I get a bump in the hip from the Nakada-san to my right, the one with twintails.  It sends me into the Nakada-san to my left.  My hand reaches out so I don’t fall, and it’s on her shoulder.

She looks at me, and smiles serenely… then hands over her form.

The registrar asks for our Identification… and I learn who my wife is.

I got married to an Angel.

…

While it was going on, the other one disappeared.

A while later, we met at the front of the office, and there was a document she was holding.

“What’s that?” I asked.

“Nihehe~ I changed my name.”

“To what?”

“To Shiori.   This way, when you say Kawamura Shiori is my wife, it’s truly both of us who are… who can say any different?”

…

And so my life enters a new chapter.

They suggest a love hotel for our first night, but they both get a chop on the head from me, and a lecture about doing things in a cursed place.  Instead, we go home, and I introduce Shiori, and Shiori to everyone.

Needless to say, everyone but Kanae seems shocked.

Well… except Chikako.

“Onee-chan never had a chance!”

“...”

We had a small party, and each Shiori answered the questions relevant to themselves.  One particularly important question I had wanted to know was how they always were able to know what was going on with each other.

“We always texted or talked about everything that happened.  That way we wouldn’t get caught.  Shiori didn’t think she’d get away with her speech pattern so easily, but Kouta seemed to think I must have had some kind of mental illness, I bet.”

“I did… actually.  I’d call you Wild and Angel Nakada to separate you… but I never thought you were separate people.”

“Nihehe~ I’m an angel.”

I chop her.

“You are the wild one!”

“Kouta.  Hurt me.”

“Oh.. I’m sorry Shiori… I…thought you were...”

“Got ya!”

“...”

I chased Shi-chan around and punished her with more chops until I was satisfied.

Afterwards, when it came time to consummate our marriage…  I saw something I wasn’t able to ignore.

“Shiori… what’s that?”

“Our baby.”

“You’re pregnant too?”

“Un.  Not our first night, but later.  No more periods.”

“Shi-chan?”

“That’s why I’ve been trying!  Shiori got lucky…”

“Onee-chan… don’t worry.  Kouta will do his best for you too.”

And I did… I did my very best to plant that seed of happiness inside of Shi-chan, too.
