Rikya tugged Ichi's hand, leading him away to the fort. Ichi watched as Scipio and Satou made distance between the two of them.

"Is she going to be okay?"

"Scipio's the one who lost the most today. We gained the most."

Ichi sighed. Outside Renya's intricately detailed fort he drew his hand over the carved wood. She was still under that waterfall. Hopefully. He cracked open the fort door and was met with a lavish interior. Carpets, furs, strange objects littered the place in an orderly fashion. The amount of color and clutter dazzled him. Ichi could only say one thing as he glanced over the mahogany table in the center with three ornate chairs and a full spread of food and drink.

"Renya's pointlessly talented. What is this, some alchemy thing?"

He picked up a plate of food and smelled it. Rikya hovered low behind his back.

"The 'Fox' spirit you freed from my house did this. She wants to talk."

"Right now? I'm kind of tired. Really, got to get home-"

Ichi turned to pat Rikya and head home. He was blinded by the sunlight from the dawn trickling through the windows. A tall dark figure appeared to his side. He noticed the fluffy tails and ears before anything else as his vision returned.

Rikya held out a hand in front of the woman in front of Ichi.

"This is Tamano no Mae."

Rikya nodded to herself as she saw Ichi's eyes move over Tama's body like a snake. She walked to the table, took a seat, and started eating. Ichi couldn't move. No, more like he didn't want to move. What he was undoubtedly looking at was a woman. With fox ears and a bunch of golden fox tails. Tama's smile and breasts took over his attention. He could see her white teeth peeking through parted lips. His eyes moved down to her broken flashy garment, and stayed there as his heart raced. He felt arms circle around him as his vision went black. The fragrant smell overwhelmed him, as did the softness he was enveloped him.

Ichi spent the last six months around a bunch of silent girls and Renya. Really, there was a limit. That limit was passed. Tama hugged Ichi's frozen body into her chest, stroking his head.

"Nice to meet you in person, Ichi Danzaburo. That was quite the exciting night, wasn't it?"

Ichi couldn't move. No, even if he could move, he didn't want to move. His arms were frozen in a crooked position. Half of his mind was telling him to give up and grab around Tama, and the other half was still thinking about Rikya being in the room. The half that told him to hug Tama back won. His arms circled her lower back. He could hear Tama's voice from above.

"Are you hungry?"

Ichi stayed there. At first he thought that Tama would give some indication by moving her body that he should pull back. But, Tama didn't do that. Tama's hand stroked Ichi's head rhythmically. Ichi didn't have the will in him to move either. When he realized that Tama wasn't moving, and that Rikya was still in the room, a lot of time had passed. Ichi didn't realize it, but he was stuck in Tama's chest for over an hour. He gradually came to the realization that Tama wasn't going to let him go unless Ichi did something.

Meanwhile, Rikya ate, took a nap, and then played around with the new golden scroll she stole from Syon. She checked over the shikigami, then headed out, smiling at Tama frozen in Ichi's breasts. During that time that Ichi was entirely occupied, she had free movement. And she used it to her advantage. By the time she came back, Ichi was still stuck.

Rikya pouted. She felt cheated. Slightly, slightly, jealous. Tama and Rikya had a strategy planned out. But, that wasn't needed. Ichi lost to Tama's body alone.
