Perverts 'R' Us

Kiku - Chapter 2

By Dudester ( viol, no sex )

Dave's brother James arrived just before noon. Dave was estranged from most of his family due to creative differences. Dave considered their lust for money repugnant as their lust was the basis for most of their decisions. James, because he lived close to Dave, came over every couple of weeks to make sure Dave was alright.

When James arrived Dave let him in and instantly introduced him to Kiku. Kiku nodded her head and extended her hand. James already had a look of surprise from Kiku's presence, but his surprise grew when Dave told him that Kiku was a doll.

"What?" James asked, completely astonished.

"You're a nurse," Dave told him. "I bought a stethoscope. You listen to her. You tell me."

Dave retrieved the stethoscope and gave it to his brother. James had Kiku sit down, and then he checked her. He placed the stethoscope several places on her chest, her back, wrists and elbows. He held the stethoscope to his own chest and wrist to make sure it was working.

"How much did you pay for her?" James asked. Dave told him. James whistled, and then added, "I'd say you got your money's worth. You know I'm going to have to tell Stacey about this."

"I wish you wouldn't."

"What can I say, I'm married, and you know how Stacey is. She's going to want both of you over for dinner."

Dave groaned. "And you guys wonder why I'm single."

Stacey did call a little while after James left. Stacey started in, inviting Dave and Kiku over for dinner. Dave tried to decline and to hold off Stacey, but she was persistent and he finally gave in, telling Stacey about Kiku's very different dietary needs.

After the phone call, Dave told Kiku about his family and what to expect at James' house. The most difficult part of the upcoming dinner was going to be that James and Stacey had two children-twelve-year-old Connor and eight-year-old Samantha. Clearly they were going to be curious about why a grown man would need to buy a doll. Dave wished that Stacey would respect his privacy.

When Dave and Kiku arrived at James' house, they stayed together and in James' living room where they talked to James, and Stacey intermittingly, as she prepared dinner. Eventually, Connor came in and was astonished at Kiku. Predictably, he tried to seek permission to have Kiku come with him, but Dave anticipated that, politely declining. As well intentioned as Connor was, children are accident prone and Kiku cost way too much to be involved in an accident. Disappointed, Connor stomped off.

Minutes later, Samantha came in the room with a doll. She sat next to Kiku and tried to start a conversation about dolls and the interests of girls. Although Kiku was unfailingly polite, she didn't share the interests of Samantha. Samantha was taken aback at that. To Dave's relief, Stacey announced dinner was ready.

During dinner, Connor and Samantha kept their eyes locked on Kiku. Naturally, the subject of her diet came up and Kiku explained that the sugar and gluten in the cookies powered her internal machinery. The subject of her price came up next and Dave carefully sidestepped the figure, except to say that Kiku was expensive. Almost predictably, Samantha asked if she could have a Kiku and Dave used his eyes to signal James that the price was prohibitive. James got Samantha to retreat off her request. When dinner was over, and the adults were alone with Dave, the subject of her price came up again.

Dave confessed that Kiku was a sex doll, which elicited the look of panic in Stacey's eyes.

"Listen" Dave told her, "I've never touched anyone's kids, including yours. I bought Kiku so that I would never touch anyone's kids. You would never have known about Kiku, but you invaded my privacy and dragged me here. I thought I was just buying a doll, but no one was more surprised than I was that she's a walking talking humanlike presence. She's perfect company, and by the way, she cost almost nine thousand dollars. Still want to buy one for Samantha?"

James and Stacey were blown away by Dave's revelation and were clearly going to need time to get over what they had just learned. Dave thanked them for dinner and left with Kiku.In the car, on the way home, Kiku sensed stress in Dave and asked him if he was ok. Dave opened up and told her about his dysfunctional family. Kiku listened and was the perfect attentive partner, comforting Dave.

Dave took Kiku to church the next day. Dave usually sang in the choir. He took Kiku into the choir room with him before the service to introduce her as his new adopted daughter, and explained why he wouldn't be singing that Sunday, but that he would be sitting in the congregation. The choir, and other church folk were non judgmental, but Dave did see the looks that several women shot his way. Clearly, the bias against single men wasn't going to go away until long after every pedophile had been hunted down and nailed to a cross.

Things turned sour for Dave and Kiku a week later. Answering a knock at his door, Dave found a couple of Japanese men, with a large crate, on his doorstep. One was the continually bowing type steeped in Japanese tradition, but the other was more Americanized.

"Please pardon the intrusion" he began, "but there has been a mix-up."

He went on to explain that Kiku had been given an internal computing unit destined for a doll to be delivered to Russia. The Russian buyer had paid far more than Dave had for the computing unit accessory and the men wanted to swap out another doll for Kiku.

"No", Dave refused. He went on to tell the men that he had paid a top price for Kiku, and her abilities were a pleasant surprise, but he had paperwork to prove he had paid a lot for Kiku and an American jury would see things his way. The men couldn't argue with his logic and left after apologizing again for the intrusion.

Several days later, Dave saw something that alarmed him. He lived near the end of a cul-de-sac, and as he got ready to leave for work, he noticed a man in a car watching him. He went back inside and went into his secure closet, taking out a high powered handgun and shoulder holster. He placed both inside his suit jacket, which he decided to keep on that day at work. He also had Kiku get dressed and join him in leaving for work. He took a book with him and on the way to work instructed Kiku to stay in his office and read the book so that she would finish the book by the end of the day. At work he made the excuse that he had taken Kiku out of school for the day because of a disagreement with her teacher, but that many didn't know he had a daughter had him explaining that he had quietly adopted her. The whole time though, he was going over in his mind what he would do when he got home.

When he got home, the first thing he did was have Kiku go back in her crate, which he locked in the secure room. He also laid the crate down, instructing Kiku not to move or speak unless he told her to. While he was in the closet, he also took out an M1A1 assault rifle, six loaded magazines and an assault vest. He went into his bedroom, changed into battle fatigues, and then went into the kitchen.

He knew that sunset that night would come at six thirty. He also knew it was rare to see anyone on the street in his older neighborhood after eight thirty. He also knew that a neighbor's pool light and a street light shined in his back yard, and that home invaders coming after Kiku would most likely, and foolishly, try their assault through the back yard.

Dave had an older country esquire home with an open kitchen that faced into a large back yard. The onetime Marine took up station behind a counter in the kitchen, and he waited. He had already dialed 911 on his cell phone, he just needed to press send. A little after nine it happened.

First, he heard his front door being kicked in. He pressed send on his cell phone and placed it face down inside an open cabinet. Seconds later, he saw the shadows coming toward the kitchen, reflected in his oven door. The man, or men, at the front of the house had to navigate a dark house that they weren't familiar with. He knew that the shadows approaching him knew of the raiding party at the front of the house. Because they didn't know his location, he was in the advantage. He waited until they were just upon the back door.

Slowly and quietly, keeping low and mostly behind the counter, he took aim at the back door. He had a good target and the advantage of surprise. In rapid succession, he fired off four rounds and moved to his pantry. He knew he had hit his targets because he heard them yell and fall. He had also lost his night vision.

When he ducked in the pantry, he left the door open a sliver. He hoped to regain his night vision and the two minutes he was blind seemed as an eternity. As he regained his vision, he noticed a shadow move past the pantry and towards the back door. The shadow was checking out his fallen comrades. He took aim and fired off two shots. The shadow fell and he dashed out of his pantry.

With his rifle pointed forward, he moved quickly down the hall to his bedroom. He could hear sirens coming towards the house, and he didn't know how many more would be targets were in and around the house. His vision still had spots in it, but it was functional. His instinct told him to move towards his carport. He doubled back and headed that way. Sure enough, his instinct was dead on, there was a figure in black in the carport, looking like he was debating to stand or run. They both saw each other at the same time and fired.

Dave heard the man scream and fall. Dave quickly advanced on the man, kicking his weapon away. The man was clutching his shoulder and cussing in another language which Dave guessed to be Russian. Dave pointed his weapon at him in a no nonsense manner, letting him know it would be deadly to try to fight further. Just then half dozen Police cars came screaming to a halt outside his home. Police Officers, drawing their weapons, got out of their cars screaming for him to drop his weapon. Dave complied, laying down his weapon and becoming submissive with their demands. Although they cuffed both Dave and the shot man, Dave let them know that there might be more armed men in and around the house. An armed party was quickly put together and a search carried out.

A dozen more Police cars arrived on the scene and a shift commander began sorting out what had happened. Inside of ten minutes the cuffs were off of Dave, but there would be many more questions. A detective soon arrived on the scene and joined the shift commander in questioning Dave. Dave finally decided to answer many of their questions by opening the crate and showing them Kiku. When the detective saw Kiku, he grew ashen. He placed his hand on his pistol grip and ordered Dave back while he yelled for an EMT. Several minutes later, an EMT on the scene arrived at the closet and looked over Kiku. After a long moment, he pronounced that Kiku was a doll, and not a little girl in a box.

Although the pronouncement of Kiku as a doll cleared Dave of being a murderer, both the shift commander and the detective treated Dave like a suspect. James' arrival on the scene only led to more questions, which went on till past one in the morning. After the Police left, James told Dave he had been watching the late news and saw his house reported as the scene of a shooting. James was surprised at the courage of his older brother, taking down the attackers.

"You would protect your kids. I was protecting mine" Dave said.

"Speaking of which, where is she?"

Dave led James over to the crate. "Ok Kiku, you can get up and speak again."

Kiku rose from the box and hugged Dave. "I missed you" she volunteered.

James smiled and decided to leave. He was happy that his brother had finally found love. Although she wasn't a flesh and blood woman, she was a loyal mate, and now more his than she had ever been. It only mattered to James that Dave was happy.

It would be weeks before the Police questions stopped. The questions did lead to a Russian crime boss being taken down. Dave and Kiku went on to a happy life together. Although Kiku never aged a day, it didn't seem to bother anyone because her growing wisdom of humans taught her to handle every situation with grace and dignity. Stacey even went on to become one of Kiku's closest advocates and friends because of her loyalty to Dave. Connor and Samantha considered her a friend and sibling, making her part of the family and educating visitors to Thanksgiving Dinner that sometimes love can be found in non conventional ways.

The End, or is it?
