Aqua's Dorm Room / Late Night
The room was quiet, lights dimmed to a soft glow.
The window was cracked open, letting in a whisper of the night breeze.
Aqua sat on the edge of her bed, clutching a pillow to her chest, wearing one of her oversized sea-blue sweaters.
Her hair was damp, clearly fresh from a shower, and she looked anxious.
A soft knock.
She stood, hesitating a moment before opening the door.
Kain leaned against the frame, hands in his pockets, casual… but his eyes weighed them.
That magnetic pull.
"You asked for me?" he said, voice low.
She stepped aside, letting him in.
"Yeah… I, um… just wanted to talk"
He walked in like he owned the place, taking a seat in her desk chair, spinning once before stopping to face her.
"Talk about what? About how you looked miserable at lunch today? Or how you couldn't meet my eyes when he held your hand?"
Aqua flinched.
"That's not fair…"
Kain leaned forward, elbows on his knees.
"I'm not trying to be. I just want you to be honest. With me. And with yourself"
She sat again, avoiding his gaze.
"I… I like him. I do. I just… I don't know, when I'm with him, it's like I have to pretend I'm okay all the time"
"Like if I tell him I'm upset, he won't know what to do"
Kain gave a soft, understanding smile.
The kind that made people open up.
"Because he doesn't ask. Doesn't see you. He's not cruel, Aqua, just… very fucking stupid"
She swallowed.
"I hate that I've been distant. I hate that I think about… you"
Silence.
And then Kain's voice, velvet-wrapped steel.
"So stop pretending"
She looked at him, eyes wide.
"What?"
He stood, walked slowly over to her, and crouched in front of her knees.
"You don't owe anyone your peace, Aqua. Especially not someone who only loves the part of you that's easy to understand"
His hand brushed against hers.
"You showed me your truth. Your tail. Your world. I know the real you… And I never looked away"
Her lower lip trembled.
"Then what am I supposed to do?"
He leaned in closer, nose brushing hers.
"Be mine"
She blinked, stunned.
"I'll take the guilt, the confusion, the mess. All of it. If you'll give it to me"
And in the quiet, as her breath caught, he pressed his lips to hers.
Not rushed.
Not forceful.
Just right.
Soft and full of heat that curled into her spine.
When they pulled apart, she whispered, almost in tears, "What about Aiden?"
Kain gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
"Let me carry that sin"

[Aqua. Affection (Kain): 95% / Loyalty: 90% / Lust: 85%]
[Aqua. Affection (Aiden): 50%]
Their lips met again, this time with no hesitation.
Aqua's fingers curled into Kain's shirt as he pulled her closer, the kiss turning from tender to ravenous.
His hand slid to the small of her back, guiding her into his rhythm, his dominance masked in tenderness.
Her breath hitched.
Kain deepened the kiss, tongue coaxing hers, and Aqua moaned softly against his mouth before pulling back with flushed cheeks, trembling.
"I… I want to… but not yet," she whispered, eyes wide with a mix of desire and guilt.
"Please… just wait a second"
Kain's grin was slow and wicked, laced with patience that only made it more dangerous.
"Of course," he murmured, brushing her lip with his thumb.
"Whatever you want, my sweet little siren"
Then he leaned closer, voice turning into something silken and cruel.
"But how about a little honesty, just for fun?"
She blinked, confused.
"Call him," Kain said.
"Right now"
Aqua's eyes widened.
"Wh-What? Aiden?"
"Mhm," Kain said, still smiling.
He pulled his phone from his pocket, handing it to her.
"Use mine. Just for fun"
Something in his voice made her hesitate… but she took the phone.
Aiden, still in Kain's room
The beer buzz had dulled the edges of his thoughts.
He was smiling to himself, replaying Aqua's earlier acceptance in his head like a highlight reel on loop.
Then the unfamiliar ringtone buzzed on the table.
"Unknown number?" he muttered, but picked it up anyway.
"Hello?"
There was a pause.
"…Aqua?" he asked, noticing the soft breathing.
Then a voice came through.
But not hers.
It was a man's.
Low.
Smooth.
Mocking.
"She's a little busy right now. But she wanted you to listen"
Aiden froze.
"Who… who is this?"
The voice chuckled.
"Just listen as I fuck your girl, you pussy, in fact here's a video call"
Aiden's gaze darted around the room, his mind racing as the unfamiliar voice continued to taunt him.
He fumbled with the phone, eager to see the caller's face and put an end to this unsettling charade.
As he connected the video call, Aiden's breathing hitched.
Aqua's half-mermaid features filled the screen, her beautiful face twisted in a mix of shock and devious pleasure.
The camera captured her room from a low angle, allowing Aiden to witness the scene unfolding before his eyes.
Aqua's legs were spread wide, her long, flowing hair cascading down her back as she reclined on the bed.
The man loomed over her, his large frame casting a shadow on her pristine sheets.
Aiden's stomach churned as he watched his girlfriend's pale skin glisten with arousal, her eyes locked with Kain's smirking gaze.
The camera panned down to Aqua's heaving chest, her rosebud nipples hard and begging for attention.
Aiden's small dick twitched in his jeans, a sick sense of voyeuristic excitement mingling with his jealousy.
Kain leaned in, his lips brushing against Aqua's ear as he whispered something that made her gaze darken with malicious intent.
He then straightened, a wicked grin spreading across his face as he addressed Aiden.
"Hey there, Aqua's boyfriend. I know what you're thinking"
"'What is this, a prank call?' Well, let me assure you, this is very real"
"And judging by your expression, clearly a step up from whatever pathetic dating you've been doing"
He chuckled, the sound low and mocking.
"I mean, seriously, you never even thought to hold her hand? You must be a real catch, huh Aiden?"
Kain's eyes glinted with amusement as he ran a hand through Aqua's hair, tangling his fingers in her soft locks.
"I bet you're on your knees right now, willing to do anything for a taste of her, huh? Too bad for you, I get to have her first"
With a final smirk, Kain's attention refocused on Aqua.
He planted a searing kiss on her parted lips, his tongue delving deep to claim her mouth.
Aiden's stomach dropped as he witnessed the raw passion, feeling a twinge of inadequacy pierce his chest.
His breath caught in his throat as the sound of Kain's kiss reached him, the man's lewd taunts echoing in his mind.
He watched, helpless and seething, as Kain explored Aqua's mouth with a confidence born from experience and entitlement.
The camera panned out, capturing the scene in its entirety.
Aqua's hands roamed over Kain's chest and back, her nails digging in as she arched against him.
Aiden's eyes narrowed at the sight, his grip on the phone tightening to the point of pain.
"You know, I've always wondered what a half-mermaid tastes like," Kain murmured against Aqua's lips before nipping at them.
"I suppose it's only fair that I get to find out before you do"
He pulled back, a trail of saliva connecting their mouths.
Aqua's cheeks were flushed, her chest heaving with rapid breaths.
Kain's hand slid down her body, fingers grazing over the swell of her breasts before dipping lower.
"Let me show you how it's done, boyfriend," Kain said, his voice dripping with condescension.
"I'll make sure Aqua gets exactly what she deserves"
Kain's hands trailed further down Aqua's body, his touch igniting a trail of electric pleasure that had her writhing against him.
Aiden had no idea what to do in this situation, feeling powerless as Kain continued his taunts.
"Oh, we're just getting started here," Kain said, his tone dripping with sarcasm.
"You've got plenty of time to sit and watch while I take what's rightfully mine"
With a final, wicked chuckle, Kain positioned himself between Aqua's thighs, his cock thick and imposing against her untouched entrance.
He gave Aiden a last mocking glance before focusing on his prize.
"And here we go," Kain murmured, his voice low and sultry.
"Time to collect what's owed"
With a single, powerful thrust, Kain buried himself to the hilt inside Aqua's virgin pussy, his groan of pleasure mingling with her gasp.
Aqua's back arched as Kain's thick cock stretched her virgin walls, his initial thrust sending waves of intense pleasure coursing through her body.
She bit her lip, trying to stifle the moans that threatened to escape as he began to move, each plunge filling her with his hot, throbbing length.
"Oh god, he's so big," Aqua whimpered, her fingers digging into Kain's flexing biceps.
"It's so deep... I can feel every inch"
"Hush now," Kain cooed, his hips rocking steadily as he fucked into her.
"But I will ask you this now… What am I to you?"
Aqua's eyes glazed over, her mind consumed by the sensations engulfing her.
She nodded, a breathy gasp escaping her lips.
"Y-yes, it's you… my lover..."
Kain chuckled, slowing his pace to savor the moment.
"Well, whatever makes you happy, sweetheart. Now, are you going to come for me like a good girl, or do I need to get creative?"
Kain's grin turned feral as he picked up the pace, his powerful thrusts driving deep into Aqua's quivering flesh.
She cried out, her body trembling as the intense stimulation pushed her closer to the edge.
"That's it, take all of it," Kain growled, his hips slapping against hers in a primal rhythm.
Aqua's mind disintegrated, her senses overwhelmed by the depth of his cock and the relentless pounding.
Just as Kain sensed Aqua's impending climax, a sudden splash of shame hit him.
The realization that Aiden was still on the line, listening to every degrading moment.
Kain's chuckle burst free, followed by a full-throated laugh at Aiden's expense.
"Oh man, you're actually jerking off right now, aren't you?" he taunted.
"I bet you can't tear your eyes away, can you? Watching your girl lose her virginity to me while you stroke your pathetic dick?"
Aqua's piercing eyes snapped to Aiden's image on the screen, her expression a mix of outrage and disgust.
"Are you seriously masturbating while this bastard is ruining me?" she spat, her voice a venomous hiss.
Aiden hastily zipped up his pants, tears streaming down his face as he attempted to defend himself.
"I-I'm sorry, Aqua, please listen, I didn't mean to..."
But his words were cut off as Kain's booming laughter filled the room once more.
"Sorry, but it's a little late for explanations"
"We both know the score here. Your girlfriend has moved on, and exclusive access to her gorgeous pussy is now mine"
Aqua's face contorted in a mixture of anger and humiliation, her slender body quivering with the aftershocks of her intense climax.
She glared at Aiden through the video call, her gaze venomous.
"You pathetic little worm," she seethed, her voice dripping with contempt.
"Did you really think you could compete with a man like him?"
She jerked her head towards Kain, her eyes flashing with defiance.
"Well, now you know the truth. There's no room for you in my life anymore"
With a final, cruel smile, Kain reached down to stroke Aqua's drenched slit, his touch igniting a fresh wave of pleasure within her.
He leaned in, his lips hovering mere inches from hers.
"Now to finish what I've started!"
His eyes burned with unrestrained lust as he ravaged Aqua's body, his fingers and tongue exploring every inch of her willing flesh.
He pounded into her with relentless intensity, the sound of skin slapping against skin mingling with their primal moans.
As his climax built, Kain's thrusts became frantic, his cock throbbing with the need to claim Aqua utterly.
With a guttural roar, he emptied himself inside her, his hot seed painting her insides and dripping out to coat her thighs.
Through it all, Aiden remained on the line, his anguish and despair reaching a fever pitch.
He wept openly, his sobs echoing through the speakers as he begged for forgiveness, pleaded for a second chance.
But Kain barely acknowledged him, his attention consumed by the exquisite aftermath of his release.
As he pulled out of Aqua's spent body, he fixed Aiden with a cold, imperious gaze.
"Stay the fuck away from her, understand?"
Kain growled, his voice low and menacing.
"Aqua's mine now, and I won't hesitate to wreck anyone who dares get in my way"
With that, he ended the call, leaving Aiden to his pitiful despair.

Kain grinned as he quickly got dressed and left a satisfied Aqua to clean up.
Kain's Room / Moments Later
The door creaked open.
Kain stepped inside, hair tousled just enough to sell the illusion of a casual smoke.
He paused at the sight before him.
There, Aiden sat on the edge of the bed, shoulders trembling, eyes red-rimmed and glassy with tears.
His phone lay in his hand, clenched tight, shaking.
Kain didn't say a word at first; he let the silence stretch, let the image burn itself into memory.
Then, he spoke, voice light with concern.
"Bro, what's wrong?"
Aiden looked up, throat tightening.
"There was a man… a blue-haired guy," he choked out.
"He was an unknown number who was with Aqua. Said she was busy. That she's his now"
His voice cracked on the last word.
Kain's eyes widened just the right amount.
He stepped forward quickly, hand on Aiden's shoulder.
"Wait, what? Blue-haired?" he repeated, his tone laced with just enough doubt.
"You sure it wasn't some prank? Maybe a cousin or something?"
Aiden shook his head violently.
"No… no, man, it wasn't a joke. I legit saw the whole thing through video call!"
Kain's heart could've exploded with amusement.
But on the surface?
He gave the perfect frown.
Sympathetic.
Supportive.
Fake.
"Damn, bro…" he muttered.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't think things were that bad between you two…"
He squeezed Aiden's shoulder.
"We'll figure it out, alright? Get to the bottom of this, it has to be fake right?"
In his head, though?
'Guess I'll be "helping" again tomorrow, huh?'

[Congratulations! Aqua Cordelia has now become a member of your harem!]
[Effects: Aqua will not question your actions. Her loyalty is absolute. She will follow you no matter what path you choose!]
Kain grinned on the inside.
One down.
More to go.
Next Morning / Courtyard Garden, Academy Grounds
The morning sun rose gently, but the atmosphere in the courtyard was anything but calm.
Aqua stood at the center of a storm.
Surrounding her were four very pissed-off girls.
Lupa, Hazel, Holly, and Nina.
Their eyes burned, not with jealousy, but righteous fury.
"He asked you out yesterday, Aqua!"
Hazel snapped, her eyes wide with disbelief.
"He was so damn nervous, and you said yes! What the hell happened?!"
"You said yes, then let another man TOUCH you the same night?!"
Nina's voice practically cracked the stone floor.
Her fists were clenched so tight, small wisps of smoke rose from her sleeves.
"Do you even understand what you did to him?!"
Aqua didn't flinch.
In fact, she rolled her eyes.
"Maybe if he had done more than just ask, I wouldn't have been so tempted"
"You heartless—"
Holly began, stepping forward.
"What?!"
Aqua cut her off, eyes flashing.
"You don't get to judge me Holly, when you haven't even met him!"
"That mysterious blue-haired guy?!"
Lupa hissed.
"You cheated with some random dude the night he asked you out?"
"No. I moved on"
Aqua said flatly.
"It's not my fault Aiden's still stuck in fairytales"
The silence was deafening.
Until—
A strained voice cracked from behind the trees, unseen but all too present.
"...I loved you…"
They turned, but he was already gone.
Above / Balcony Overlook
Kain sipped his black coffee, seated like a king surveying his conquest.
Beside him, Ruby exhaled a low whistle.
"Oof. That hit deep"
"You think he's crying again?"
Lyla smirked.
"Definitely"
Darcy said, arms crossed.
"That man's spirit is in shambles," Beatrix added, a faint smile tugging her lips.
Alyssa simply nodded.
"One down"
Kain didn't speak.
He just grinned.
His girls, his game, his stage.
And Aiden?
Just another extra in the play.
Lunchtime / Academy Cafeteria, East Courtyard
Kain sat alone beneath the sakura trees, a bento box on one side, chopsticks lazily dancing between bites.
That's when he caught the scent.
Cinnamon and trouble.
Lupa.
Her tail twitching behind her, approached with that faux-confident smirk of hers.
But her ears betrayed her, they were tilted slightly back.
Nervous.
Hesitant.
"Yo, Kain. Mind if I sit?"
Kain didn't even look up.
Just patted the stone bench beside him with two fingers, finishing a bite of grilled pork.
"You've already decided to. No point asking now"
Lupa rolled her eyes, but took the seat anyway.
She folded her arms under her chest, biting her lip before speaking again.
"Look… I know it's weird for me to ask you this, but… could you talk to Aiden?"
Kain finally looked her way, crimson eyes narrowed with mock interest.
"Aiden, huh? Thought Aqua made it pretty clear he's yesterday's news"
"That's not fair," Lupa muttered.
"He's hurting. You're the only one he still even listens to"
Kain gave a slow, thoughtful hum.
Then, he leaned forward, elbows on knees, expression grave.
"You really care about him, don't you?"
Lupa looked away.
Her tail flicked.
"He's… a good guy. He just—he's lost right now"
"Maybe he's not the only one holding back," Kain said quietly.
Lupa blinked.
"What?"
He gave a small smirk and glanced at her with a knowing look.
The same conversation.
The one they had when he was choosing whom to target first.
Now that Aqua's under his belt.
It was time to claim Lupa.
"I've seen you spar. All that speed, grace, unpredictability. But every time it gets intense, you flinch"
"You hold back. Just like you're doing now"
Lupa's ears flattened.
"That's not—"
"It is"
Kain cut her off smoothly, voice soft but firm.
"You want to help Aiden? Then stop pretending. Come train with me instead. I'll help you bring out your real strength"
Her mouth opened, confused.
"Wait, what does that have to do with—"
"Everything"
Kain leaned closer, eyes burning into hers.
"You want him to rise back up, right? Show him how far you've come. Show him you're not his shadow anymore"
Lupa swallowed. Her heart thudded faster.

[Lupa. Affection: 31% / Loyalty: 16% / Lust: 28%]
[Mood: Flustered]
She looked away quickly, hiding the faint flush that hit her cheeks.
"Fine… one training session," she muttered.
"But I'm only doing this to help him"
Kain leaned back, smiling behind his chopsticks.
"Of course you are"
'One by one, they come'
'All pretending to save Aiden'
'And I? I'm just the helpful friend… again'
Later That Afternoon / Private Training Hall #4, West Wing
The room was quiet.
Echoes of past battles clung to the cracked tiles and worn-out dummies.
Magic-proof walls stood tall, silent witnesses to every hidden duel.
Kain stood at the center, shirt off, hair tied loosely behind him.
His body was relaxed, but his eyes were sharp, waiting.
The door slid open.
In stepped Lupa, hair pulled into a high ponytail, her red and orange tail flicking behind her like a fuse.
She wore a modified combat suit.
G-tight at the waist, light armor over her shoulders, legs bare from the thigh down.
Her fans were strapped to her hips.
She paused when she saw him.

"You're late, Kitsune"
"You didn't say it was shirtless training," she grumbled, trying not to stare.
"Guess you'll just have to deal with the view"
He cracked his neck.
"Let's see what you've got"
Lupa drew her fans.
"Don't hold back"
She launched at him, swift, wild.
Her fans slashed through the air with glittering arcs.
Her moves were unpredictable, but Kain read her like a book.
Their clash echoed, sparks flying as she twisted and struck, dancing like wind and flame.
But he countered everything.
And she knew it.
Every dodge, every parry, he was toying with her.
Panting, she stumbled back.
"You're not taking me seriously"
Kain stepped closer.
"You're fighting with emotion, not instinct. All those feelings clouding your form…"
He stopped just inches away.
"...Aiden, maybe?"
Her eyes widened.
"Tch- shut up!"
He reached out, touching her cheek lightly.
"You want to fight properly?" he whispered.
"Then forget about him. Just focus on me"

"And you came anyway"
Lupa suddenly leapt back, fans swirling, throwing wind-blades his way, he dodged them easily, appearing right behind her.
"Too slow"
His voice ghosted behind her ear as he caught her wrists.
She froze.
Their bodies pressed together, his breath on her neck.
"This... is the strength I'm talking about"
He turned her to face him, their eyes locked.
Her lips parted, breath shaky.
Her heartbeat echoed louder than her thoughts.
"K-Kain… I…"

He just smiled.
"One more session tomorrow, same time"
He let her go, walking away.
She stared at his back, completely rattled.
"Y-yeah… sure"
As the door shut behind her—

"One fox, ripe for the taking"
Aiden's Dorm Room / That Evening
The lights were dim.
Empty chip bags littered the desk.
The air smelled of stale tears and self-pity.
Aiden sat slouched on the edge of his bed, wearing the same hoodie from yesterday, staring blankly at the wall like it had betrayed him, too.
His phone sat face down on the floor, unanswered texts from Hazel, Nina, Holly, and Lupa left unseen.
Knock knock knock!
"Go away…" Aiden mumbled.
The door creaked open anyway.
"You sound like shit"
Aiden looked up, and there he was.
Kain.
Looking good, clean, and confident.
A grin on his face and a black bag slung over his shoulder.
"Thought I'd bring you something to stop the crying"
He tossed the bag onto the desk, a six-pack of the finest premium imports, chilled to perfection.
Nothing like the watery garbage Aiden used to buy.
Aiden blinked.
"…You serious?"
Kain popped one open and handed it over.
"You're heartbroken, not dead"
Aiden took it, holding it like some sacred relic.
"…Thanks, man. Really. I know I've been acting like a bitch lately"
Kain chuckled, cracking open his own.
"You're grieving. First heartbreak cuts deep"
They clinked bottles.
Aiden took a long swig, then sighed.
"…I thought Aqua was the one. We had one amazing day. Just one"
He leaned back, staring at the ceiling.
"She said yes. We held hands. I laughed like an idiot, but she smiled"
His hand tightened around the bottle.
"Then some blue-haired bastard swoops in and… I don't know, man. She didn't even hesitate to hook up with him"
Kain took a casual sip, hiding the smirk behind his bottle.
"People change, bro," he said calmly.
"Maybe she was never worth it if she could throw you away that fast"
Aiden nodded slowly, not even noticing Kain's choice of words.
"…You're probably right"
"Damn right I am"
Kain leaned back, pretending to scroll through his system messages, watching Lupa's stats tick upward.
His plan was in motion.
One broken boy.
Four soon-to-be traitorous girls.
And a smile only the devil could wear.
