The Japanese Omelette
The Japanese Novelette
A small rented apartment, in the sprawling builtup suburbs of Tokyo.
She uttered a groan as he licked her nipples and planted small kisses on her breasts. K rubbed his index finger gently against Sumi�s soft cotton panties. A moist warm feeling spread between her legs.
�Is this enough?� K muttered as he applied pressure.
��nearly there�� Sumi said. Her eyes closed shut as she leant back onto the sofa.
��.�
�ok.� she said finally.
Sumi got up and took off her panties, a wet patch dewing on them. She picked up a transparent cylindrical tube and stuffed the soiled panty into it. Cheeks flushed, she managed a smile at K.
K gave a slight cough.
He said, �How much is this worth?�
�hmm�about 3000yen I guess�too many girls nowadays�spoiling the market.� Sumi said as she buttoned her school blouse and pulled on her skirt, pantiless.
�ok�all done.� Sumi patted and smoothened her skirt.
K coughed again.
She looked at him, realised that his cheeks were strangely flushed.
�oh�haha,� she giggled. �sorry�.i forgot.�
She reached out and pulled K up from the sofa.
They had standing sex.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later, Sumi and K walked out onto the streets. Sumi walked in front. A distance of ten metres away, K dragged his feet, his eyes resting on her back.
It is a cold Monday morning. Tokyo has just awakened. The roads were deserted, save a few hondas and toyotas cruising by and a worker clad in reflective white jacket clearing the trash bins.
They passed by several grocery stores and sushi-tempura restaurants.
Abruptly, Sumi stopped.
Ten metres behind, K stopped too.
The cute porky-shaped signboard smiled at them..
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hiki yawned.
He drank the last few drops of Kenki Jenki Juice, squashed the bright orange packet and threw it in a graceful arc into a waste-basket at the corner of his room. The room is dark. Hiki has switched off all the lights and the windows were painted over with black paint. The only light illuminating the room came from the 16-inch red monitor screen of a pentium III 880mHz 256 Mb ram computer.
Hiki got up from his chair at the computer and paced around the small room, trying to drive away the sleepyness. He stretched his thin arms over his head and coughed several times.
Feeling better, he took a look at his watch and then walked towards the windowsill. He tapped the plastic transparent walls of a hamster cage on the ledge. The small furry mound buried under wood shavings moved a bit as he tapped harder. He shook the cage gently, the shavings rustled, revealing a lifeless hamster lying on its back, its fur ragged and bits of pink flesh peeking through.
In fact, ham-taro has been dead for 3 months already.
Two months after Hiki shut himself in his room and never came out, he ran out of hamster pellets and fed ham-taro with leftovers from the meals his mother passed through the latch-opening near the bottom of the door. Maybe it was the alien food or the ventilation, Ham-taro became strangely sick and rarely stirred. He died in a cold snowy night.
Hiki stared at the lifeless creature for a moment. Then he moved the cage away from the window and placed it on the floor. He pushed open the black windows slightly and peered out at the streets below. A thin shaft of warm sunlight fell into the room, tiny particles danced in the spotlight.
He squinted at his watch.
7.15 am.
5 more minutes.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
�This is it!� Sumi called out to K.
�You sure?� K called back. He stared at the porky-shaped signboard.
�Yes�he said in the email, �7.20 sharp outside the Nakamiro butcher shop.�
�Hentai butchers?� K said.
Sumi shrugged and looked around.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
�Hey! �You!� A childish voice stuttered aloud from nowhere.
Sumi looked around.
K heard the voice too. He walked quickly up to Sumi�s side.
�Hey! �I, I said �alone�! You � came with someone!� the voice shouted again.
Sumi looked around startled. Where did the voice come from.
�Where are you? I brought the stuff!� she called out.
�yea�come out! Stop hiding!� K shouted and looked around fiercely.
A few passers-by stared at them curiously.
�Up here! Here!� the curiously childish voice came again.
K and Sumi looked up, above the big porky-shaped signboard of the Nakamiro butcher shop. From a small darkened window at the 3rd storey, Hiki waved his hand at them.
�Come up!� he shouted.
K stared incredulously at the kid. What a joke. He started to raise his right hand and middle finger but Sumi nudged him and said, �Come on, let�s go up.�
�But he�s just a runt� I expected a hentai salaryman with leering eyes� not a kid!�
�Nevermind� since we�re already here�� she replied as they stepped into the shop.
A benevolent-looking, old woman smiled at them.
�Are you Hiki�s friends? He told me yesterday u were coming�� the old woman said and bowed.
�er�yes�er.� K scratched his head and bowed awkwardly.
�Nice to meet you, Auntie,� Sumi said and bowed. �Can we go up to his room?�
�Yes, sure� if he asks you over�� Hiki�s mother nodded and smiled nervously. �I�ll show you the way.�
She led K and Sumi towards a staircase at the back of the shop.
Pieces of meat bloodless with strips of white fat hung on hooks.
The smell of raw flesh mingled with the sterile flourescent light.
An old guy in a pvc apron and holding a stainless steel knife, stared at them fiercely from behind the counter.
�Old man� they�re here� to see our Hiki.� her voice wavered.
K and Sumi bowed their heads slightly and walked on quickly.
A psycho butcher. K thought to himself.
�Who�s Hiki?!� the old guy said gruffly and with a swift violent chop, split a piece of meat into two.
Hiki�s mother stopped at the foot of the dingy dark staircase. She lowered her face and said, � this is the stairs� Hiki doesn�t like me near his room� please go up and see him.�
�er� yes.� K said.
�Thank you, Auntie.� Sumi bowed.
The two of them climbed up the stairs.
�Can you believe it� our first customer, a shut-in kid� what a freak�� K muttered under his breath.
Sumi smiled at him and said nothing.
They reached the third storey and came to a wooden door. K looked at Sumi wordlessly, shrugged, and knocked.
�hey kid� we�re here. Open up.� K said.
Nothing. Silence.
�Hey! Hey!� K said and knocked harder on the door.
�.nothing�.
�We�re here, Hiki.� Sumi said.
K looked at her.
A faint rustling in the room, then a voice uttered, �Tell the guy to go away.�
�What the fuck!� K swored and kicked the door roughly.
Sumi stopped him. �K, you go downstairs first� I�ll handle this.�
K paused, looked at her for a moment, and backed away from the door.
�Be careful of the little hentai prick.� he said.
�I�m not a little hentai prick!� Hiki protested from behind the door.
�ya, ya, shut-in kid�. shut up!� K said as he walked down the stairs.
�Is he gone?�
�yes.�
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
K leant against a lamppost outside the shop and lit a cigarette.
Ten minutes later, Sumi came out of the shop.
�Bye bye, Auntie, Uncle.� She said and bowed.
She walked up to K.
�What did that kid want?� he asked.
�The stuff.�
�Uh-huh�ok, how much did he pay?�
�He gave me these exam textbooks.�
�what?!�
�oh� nevermind� he�s just a 14-yr-old kid.�
�A kid? Oh ya, that kid is going to smell your wet panties and masterbate to it� that�s just a kid.�
�Oh well�� Sumi said and laughed.
�What about our rent?� he asked.
�We�ll think of something��
The two of them walked away.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hiki looked at the two retreating figures, till they disappeared around the street corner. Then he shut the window and the room fell into darkness again. The red monitor screen flickered silently. He lowered his head and stared at his limp penis.
---------end of chapter one.
End of Chapter One Epilogue:
Maybe there will be more chapters. i dunno. When i wrote the adult intro, it was quite funny. Trying to find the non-existent balance between erotica and porn. 'standing sex' is the title of a X Japan song. The phrase 'hondas and toyotas' seemed quite funny too, becos its so trying-to-be-jap. I hope, overall, this story transfers to you the feeling of the beautifully sparse and strange-cold japanese culture that's depicted in the jap love serials. Maybe a serial murder! hmm....
ok more character background...next page.-->
