Summary:

Maybe kissing really is effective

Chapter Text

~Satomi residence, next day, 05:23 morning~



The sun was slowly creeping up, beginning to light the city very sluggishly, indicating the beginning of a brand new day.

The rays were shining through the window of Enju’s room, as the girl was snuggling inconspicuously to the human body pillow that she was grabbing to indiscriminately, while having innocent dreams and smiling childishly.

The room was mostly quiet, as there were very little noises that early in the morning, except for the occasional cicada outside.

Rentarō: “N-noo!” suddenly, without any prior notice, the teen male seemed to spring up to life. He began chanting the word “No” in his sleep while also weakly flailing about, waking up and alarming the girl next to him.

Enju: “What the…?!” the child awoke, a bit scared when realizing that her partner was panicking under the covers of their bed, although she didn’t panic immediately and attempted to simply assess the situation before she would do anything rash.

Enju: “Rentarō, are you awake?” she inquired rubbing her left eye and checking his face, confirming that his eyes were still closed and his breathing was quite slow, a clear clue that he was still in slumber land.

She stared a bit at him, trying to see what his next reaction would be, before he continued and began flailing again.

Rentarō: “No...stop it! We shouldn’t do this! I told you to-….” he then began mumbling unintelligibly while Enju finally realized what this was all about.

Enju: “Oh….great. He’s having more weird dreams about Kisara-san, isn’t he?” the thought finally dawned on her.

Rentarō was still squirming under the covers, as if he was fighting to push someone off of him, as she continued to stare very unamused and a bit disappointed in him.

Rentarō: “I told you I’m not ready for that…!” he kept on mumbling, some sentences being louder and more coherent while others were just garbled mess that she couldn’t even make out any meaning from .

The girl, to confirm it, slipped her hand down to his underwear and grabbed his penis, noticing the erection that he was having and how it was also twitching infrequently.

Enju: “ Yes, it’s one of those dreams again. For crying out loud, Rentarō! Can’t you have the courtesy of not dreaming of sleeping with another woman while I’m in bed with you?! last time he did that to her she played that prank on him with her trying to fake a pregnancy. Back then, he panicked as soon as she messed with him and forced himself awake. That, naturally, led to an unpleasant squabble with her, considering the fact that he wasn’t too happy with her having sneaked up on him while he was sleeping.

Now, she knew better than to provoke him a second time.

She knew that it would be wrong to interrupt his dreams and, after everything that had happened, she knew that he needed his rest to recover physically as well.

Rentarō: “I said no more—arrghh…!” now he became even louder.

Enju: “ That’s it! I’m sleeping in another room! ” fed up with his nocturnal antics, the girl hopped off the bed with her pillow under her arm, deciding to leave him alone and find another part of the house to sleep in.

Apparently her request of them sleeping together that night was a bad idea.

She slowly began approaching the exit to the room while groggily muttering about how unfair it was for her lover to be dreaming about other women when, suddenly, she heard him say something unexpected.

Rentarō: “I said stop it, Enju! I can’t...arrgh!” she heard her name being spoken, which was so shocking that she stopped walking immediately after her brain parsed that.

Enju: “Wait, what?!” she said out loud before running back to the bed to listen more to his incessant mumbling.

She stared at him very curiously, almost not believing that he would have a sexual dream about her, someone who he had never seen in such a light before.

Rentarō: “Please….Enju! No more Kissy Corner! No more, please! Argh!” he continued, unaware of her watch over his unconscious body.

The girl couldn’t believe her ears.

Enju: “ But….we barely just started the week! We’ve only done the Kissy Corner once, last night, and it already worked so well?! ” she was completely shocked, dumbfounded and unsure what to believe, seeing how the man that had been so stoic and disinterested in her in the past, broke down and began having romantic dreams about her after just one night of them kissing like that.

Rentarō: “No! Not the tongue again!!” he genuinely sounded traumatized, so much so that even Enju was starting to feel very sorry for him when realizing how badly scarred he had been after just one session with her .

Enju: “ Enju’s Kissy Corner….really is scary!



~Kisara’s apartment~

The young woman was sleeping very lightly, trying to recover from the nightmare that she had to go through the past couple of weeks. She had been exhausted the previous day and was now taking full advantage of the recuperative powers of sleep.

Out of nowhere, her phone vibrated, though, on the desk next to her bed.

Being a very light sleeper, she immediately woke up at that minuscule interruption and almost instinctively went to the katana that she always kept sheathed on the bed next to her, her never having expected for such an odd sensory invasion from the small device, that early in the morning.

Unsure who could have messaged her at that hour, she went for her phone and opened it, to check the sender for that message.

Kisara: “ A message from Enju? At five in the morning? Doesn’t she sleep at this hour? ” she thought to herself a bit worried, thinking that maybe it was a grave emergency that involved Gastrea, or Rentarō suddenly suffering another affliction to his body or whatnot.

She opened the message to check the contents, only to have all the adrenaline rush that she was experiencing turn into complete confusion at the small and seemingly random sentence that was in it.

From Enju’s phone: “I win :P” was all that was written on it.

Kisara simply stood there, staring at the screen of her phone, bedazzled.

Kisara: “What….does that mean, Enju?” she questioned, hoping there would be another message after it to clarify whatever it was that she meant by that.

A new message never came though.



~The End~


Author’s note: two years after the publishing of the first chapter and it’s finally over. This fanfiction is finally ended and, before anyone asks, no, I won’t be making any sequel to this.

I already covered all that I ever wanted to cover from the Black Bullet universe, even going so far as attempting to tease at a conclusion for the Cursed Children arc, although the exact details of how that will pan out will be left to your imagination.

Thank you so much for reading and sticking to the end! I hope the last chapters compensated for the overly dark mood that I created previously in this story and erased the bitter taste that you may have had with it.

Also, before I check out, if there are any people reading this who are graphical artists, maybe on deviantart or other platforms, please add a copyright license to your works, whenever possible! It’s been very difficult for me to find a proper cover art for this story, mainly because I was always unsure which cover images on deviantart I was allowed to use and which I wasn’t.

Even something as restrictive as saying “Just don’t use my art!” would be fine, since that at least expresses clear intent from the artist and I know for sure that I cannot use it. Knowing how one can copy and use art is very important (this is ironically coming from an author of fanfiction so maybe I’m just a hypocrite).

If you want to read more of my works, I’m sorry to say that my output will slow down greatly from now on. I have many more projects that I want to publish. One that I’m working on at the moment is a Naruto fanfic that’s already taken me a couple of years and, from the looks of it, it will take me at least another year or two before I will complete it. I will make it public, this time, only after I finish writing the last chapter, unlike this story.

Due to how long it’ll take me to finish it, I cannot guarantee that it’ll even be completed, as I could very well lose interest in it and simply drop it.

As such, please don’t hold your breath for more content from me. Maybe in the distant future, maybe never. It really depends.

Also, some of my works, including the Naruto one that I just mentioned, will very likely be published (if they will even make the light of day at all) on the ArchiveOfOurOwn website, mainly because they will have actual sex scenes that I plan in adding. Since fanfiction dot net does not allow explicit descriptions of sex per their age rating guidelines, that story won’t be featured at all on it. Sorry! That’s not to say that I won’t use fanfiction dot net anymore at all, just that I’ll only be posting content that’s more family friendly. I have no plans for that at the moment but who knows? Maybe inspiration will strike me again. Or maybe not.

Thank you so much and I wish you all a happy and wonderful life!
