"We do it in the dark with smiles on our faces.

We're dropped and well concealed in secret places

We don't fight fair"

Dreams of an Absolution
Chapter 25
Later that week, the Utonium household was packed, as the two coordinating officers of Townsville met to discuss forming a more perfect union between their two groups. While Dexter and Agent Honeydew meshed out the details of the cooperation, the Rowdyruff Boys and Powerpuff Girls were snickering and talking amongst themselves, only giving an appropriate response when asked for one. Every now and then Professor Utonium would give his girls a stern look, or Ms. Keane would hush the kids when they started getting too noisy.
The Powerpuff leader kept one eye on the door, growing increasingly worried about her sister's absence. Blossom had been staying out late since returning from the hospital, the night before, she hadn't come home until well after ten. Just what was her sister getting herself into? Buttercup turned to try to pry more information out of Boomer, who was off sitting by himself near the hallway. He looked up, confused as ever, when Buttercup whispered his name.
"Boomer, where did you say Blossom was?" She mouthed, trying to avoid drawing Dexter's attention. Boomer shrugged, again. Before Buttercup could erupt into a fury, the front door opened and a cheerful voice called out.
"I'm home!" Everyone paused when Blossom giggled and hushed whispers were exchanged in the hallway. Boomer blinked and looked up in confusion, as Blossom peeked into the living room, "Hey! Sorry I'm home late! I was, um...studying!" She giggled and swatted at someone around the corner, who seemed to be laughing. Now the suspended Powerpuff girl had everyone's attention. Ms. Keane was the first person to find her voice.
"Blossom...is someone with you?" Blossom giggled and jumped away from the doorway, rubbing her side. She turned bright pink and brushed her hair out of her face.
"Um...well...yes. Um...I guess I wasn't really studying," She rubbed her head, turning redder with every second. She glanced at her companion then gestured for him to come out. There was a brief, whispered argument, but in the end, he relented. It was a monster boy...mostly human looking, with green skin, shaggy white hair, and two tiny black horns poking through his hair.
"Heeey...Utonium family...and friends?" Professor Utonium slowly narrowed his eyes. Bubbles' hands flew to her mouth. Brick's eye twitched. Butch stuck his tongue out. By the doorway, Boomer looked up and smiled, waving. The boy grinned and waved back. There was a sound like a gunshot, and suddenly Buttercup was in the monster's face, glaring daggers.
"Who are you?" she snarled. The boy laughed sheepishly and took a nervous step back, holding his hands up in defense. Blossom grabbed Buttercup's wrist and tugged her out of the air.
"Buttercup! Leave him alone! I knew this would happen!" She huffed. Ms. Keane's look of shock was slowly becoming a barely contained giddy grin.
"Blossom..." she called in a singing voice. Blossom, Buttercup, and the monster boy looked up. Blossom was turning bright red again, shuffling her feet nervously, "Who is this young man?" She finally asked, a knowing grin spread across her face. The Professor simply glared at the boy, having reached the same conclusion as Ms. Keane. The...correct conclusion.
"Um...well, you see...this is...Baku...he's um a sixth grader and...um..." she trailed off, mumbling the rest. Buttercup was almost as red as Blossom, it was a wonder why her glare hadn't set the boy, Baku, on fire yet. He scratched his hair, taking a moment to tap one of his horns. Ms. Keane suddenly began giggling uncontrollably. Professor Utonium's glare almost matched Buttercup's.
"He's...my...boyfriend," Blossom's hands flew to her mouth, a silly grin on her face, "I can't believe I finally said it! He's my boyfriend! My boyfriend!"
"Boyfriend?" Ms. Keane, Buttercup, and Professor Utonium shouted in unison. Brick snickered, elbowing Butch.
"What a loser," Blossom narrowed her eyes, her good mood going up in flames, "He must be a real loser if he's dating her!" She gasped and glowered at Brick, wishing with all her heart she could will his eyes to melt and his tongue to explode. Butch snickered, high-fiving his bother. Dexter cleared his throat, sizing up Baku.
"How exciting, Blossom has some stupid boyfriend. Can we please get back to the important matter at hand?" Under his breath, he muttered something about stupid girls. Unfortunately, he underestimated the cumulative outrage and joy filling the room.
"You can't have a boyfriend!" Buttercup and Professor Utonium said in unison. The two looked at each other, nodded, and returned their fury to the fiend.
"You're too young to be dating!"
"He's a monster!"
"And besides, he's too old for you!"
"He's a monster! Rawr! A monster!" Blossom took a deep breath, ready to defend her boyfriend's honor. To her surprise, Ms. Keane cut her off.
"Now you two, stop that! There is nothing wrong with Blossom having a boyfriend," She said, rising up to stand between the two groups, hands on her hips. Blossom blinked, glancing at Boomer. Her friend just shrugged, giving her a mitt's up—an awkward equivalent of a thumb's up without thumbs.
"Cassandra, this is outrageous, she is only seven years old," the Professor explained, climbing to his feet as well. Buttercup flew up to his side, waving her arms frantically.
"And he's a monster!" Ms. Keane sighed and turned to Buttercup.
"I understand, Dear...now please, sit," Buttercup swallowed nervously and returned to her spot on the couch. She turned to the Professor, wearing the same look. He swallowed nervously, "Sit." He, wisely, complied, a sheepish smile on his face. Ms. Keane spun around and dropped back on the couch, next to Professor Utonium. There was a gleam in her eye that Blossom found endearing...and a bit frightening.
"So, your name is Baku, is it? How did you two meet?" Dexter groaned and threw his papers into the air. Agent Honeydew sighed and patted his shoulder.
"It's a fight you can't win, Dexter," she mumbled. Everyone's attention was on Blossom and Baku now. She blushed and folded her hands behind her back, kicking her foot. Baku cleared his throat and stood beside her, his green cheeks tinted pink.
"Well, um...it was kind of an accident...we met when I was coming home from seeing Dr. Elise. Um, at the park," She looked up at Baku, who nodded and laughed.
"Yeah, uh, Blossom was taking a nap by a sprinkler, so I woke her up before it sprayed her," He snickered and Blossom giggled, blushing more.
"I was really tired, leave me alone!"
"What are you doing here?" Buttercup rudely asked. Ms. Keane glared at her, returning the Powerpuff leader to silence.
"Oh well uh, my uncle lives here. My mom sent me to live with him to learn, I dunno, like...human culture or something?" Blossom flew up to Baku's level, grinning as she hugged his arm.
"He's Uka-sensei's nephew!" The living room exploded in another flurry of reaction.
"Is that why he's so nice to you?" Buttercup shouted. This time, Ms. Keane offered no protection, she seemed just as interested. Blossom sighed and shook her head.
"No...well, not at first. I've been visiting Baku after school with Boomer as a cover...sorry, Boomer," Boomer waved his hands over his head. No one really understood the gesture. "And I guess, I spent a lot of time with Uka-sensei, so...well yeah! He likes me because I'm a good influence on his nephew!" Brick and Butch snorted and laughed again.
"Yeah...I'm not big on studying and stuff, so Uncle asked Blossom to make me learn stuff. He always jokes and says she's more," Baku laughed and lowered his voice, mocking Uka's voice, "Worthy an heir to my name than you," Blossom and Baku laughed again. Ms. Keane giggled, shaking her head.
"How long have you two been dating? Oh! I bet I know!" Ms. Keane jumped up, uncharacteristically excited. Had her sister been present, she'd have vouched for Cassie being something of a cheerleader for romance, "It was around the 24th of August, wasn't it?" Blossom and Baku stared incredulously.
"Um...yeah...but...how did you know?" Ms. Keane grinned and clapped her hands.
"Now it all makes sense! That's why you were afraid of my meeting with Mr. Uka, you didn't want me to embarrass you in front of your boyfriend's uncle," Blossom laughed and nodded.
"Yeah...I'm sorry about that, Ms. Keane,"
"So you're leaving soon?" Professor Utonium asked, arms crossed. Buttercup sat next to him, a mirror image of her father. Baku stuffed his hands in his pockets and shrugged, looking at Blossom.
"Um...we were going to study some more, but I don't-" Ms. Keane jumped up.
"Nonsense! You two go to your room and study, it's no trouble at all!" Blossom blinked, looking at Baku. He seemed just as flabbergasted. As the two turned to leave, Blossom calling her thanks, they heard an explosion of "WHAT?" followed by a frenzied arguing. The two ascended the stairs slowly, their blushes fading, though their grins grew. Blossom slid her door shut and sighed, laughing.
"That went better than I had hoped!" She cried, dropping down on her bed. Baku looked around her room, picking up a book lying on the floor. He flipped through a few pages and glanced at Blossom with a raised eyebrow.
"Why are you reading this? You're living it," Blossom flew up to him, snatching her book back.
"My situation is nothing like hers. She had a man, I have a god," Baku laughed and ruffled her hair, plopping down on her bed. Blossom pulled out a few notebooks and textbooks, setting them on the bed. She had planned ahead, filling the notebooks with details about human culture and history, enough that if anyone asked, they had something to show to prove they had been studying.
"So...what do we do now?" Blossom looked up, her blush returning with a vengeance. They were supposed to be planning... preparing. But... she glanced at Baku, who seemed confused. Blossom bit her lip, her hand slipping across the bed, finding his. He chuckled and gave her mitt a tight squeeze, leaning closer to her. Blossom's felt like she was on fire, "Well? Blossom?"
"Um...I...don't..." Blossom stuttered out. She glanced at the door, then back at Baku. Her heart fluttered in her chest: he was back in his true form. His eyebrows crackling, his fangs gleaming in the moonlight slipping in through her window. Blossom licked her lips.
"Is it not your task to educate me on..." He leaned closer, his breath caressing her cheek, "human culture?" Blossom shuddered, her legs locking up and her mouth going dry. She looked up at Aku, into his big, fiery red eyes. They were so close...this was it, this was the day...
"I guess..it is..." she whispered.
"Then what is it boyfriends and girlfriends do...Blossom?" He had to stop that, she thought, shivering again. She was going to need to change! Blossom swallowed the massive lump in her throat and leaned closer to Aku, so close she could smell the brimstone on his breath.
"Sorry to bother you! I just wanted to-" Ms. Keane blushed and giggled as she came in. Blossom and Baku were on other sides of the bed, both beet red and panting. Blossom glared at Ms. Keane, struggling to find her voice.
"M-M-M...Ms. Keane! Y-You...you sh-should...should knock first!" she exclaimed. Ms. Keane was beside herself, leaning against the door frame, laughing herself to tears.
"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! Oh my...that was...I'm so sorry, Blossom. I promise, I'll knock from now on," Baku sat up, still catching his breath. It had been close...he hadn't had to transform so fast before. He could only hope nothing was out of place. He coughed, clearing his throat—making sure it was the right voice—and looked up at Ms. Keane, curiosity replacing panic.
"D-Did you need something?" He asked. Blossom nodded.
"R-Right! What did you need, Ms. Keane?" Ms. Keane had, by now, recovered well enough to speak. She sighed and touched her face, still giggling.
"I'm sorry, I just wanted to know if you two wanted any snacks? Did you have dinner, Blossom? I could warm up something for you both," Blossom shook her head, her breath slowing.
"I don't know, are you hungry, Baku?" Baku blinked, then slowly nodded.
"Um...yeah, I could eat something," Blossom nodded, rubbing her belly. She was hungry too.
"Maybe just some snacks?" Ms. Keane nodded.
"I'll be right back," She cut Blossom off with a laugh, "and I'll knock this time." Blossom nodded. As soon as the door clicked shut, Baku faded to Aku, who was still holding his glowing-red chest.
"That infernal woman! She nearly ruined our hard work..." Blossom nodded, crawling across the bed and laying down beside Aku.
"I know, but be nice to her. She's important to me," Aku nodded, twirling a lock of Blossom's hair between his fingers.
"Of course, child...ha! But, surely your eyes beheld the precision and power of Aku's disguise!" Blossom giggled and stroked his beard, nodding.
"Yeah...that was certainly impressive. I hope you don't have to do it too often though, your eyebrows were on fire when she walked in. Aku blinked and pinched one of his eyebrows. So that was what he had missed, was it?
"Hm...next time then," Aku mused. He paused, grinning and lifting Blossom's chin. She was already blushing again, "Now then, what was it you sought to teach the mighty Aku?" Blossom licked her lips, shuddering as Aku ran his claws across her back. Blossom crawled closer to him, staring at his lips.
"W-Well..boyfriends and girlfriends...they..." Blossom trembled as one of Aku's stray tendrils—they usually came out when he was relaxed, something about his body wanting to return to its natural form—brushed against her legs. Blossom's toes curled, her breath caught in her throat when he ran his claws through her hair.
"Is it something you can show me, Blossom?" She smiled and gave a breathless laugh, nodding. She was afraid before, but no! Now it was time! It was finally time, she was finally going to...
"Uh huh..." Blossom caressed his face and leaned closer, pausing to steady her nerves. What if she did it wrong? What if he didn't want her to? What if...it wasn't as good as she hoped? Aku wrapped one arm around her, half-closing his eyes as he trailed a single finger across her cheek. Blossom's knees were trembling, her belly was doing flips and thrusts and just wouldn't settle down!
"What comes next, Blossom?" he whispered. Blossom gasped and shuddered. It was so hard to keep her balance, her body was all fuzzy and tingly! This was the right time! The perfect time!
"Well...we..." A knock sounded on the door. Blossom screamed. Aku screamed and threw her back, quickly changing his form again, while the door began to open. Blossom snatched one of her notebooks, Baku grabbed one of the textbooks. She smoothed out her skirt, he tried to smooth his hair, but he really couldn't do anything with it.
"I'm back!" Ms. Keane sang, "Who wants crispy treats?" She paused, again resisting the urge to giggle madly seeing the two flustered kids. Baku stiffly raised his hand, laughing nervously. Blossom was still too flustered to speak, content to just nod.
"Here you go, now don't work too hard. Remember, there's always time to have fun too!" She winked at Blossom, who nearly had a heart attack.
"Mom!" Ms. Keane laughed, quickly turning away to leave. Blossom happened to catch a glimpse of her wiping her eyes.
"Have fun kids, just let me know if you need anything," Blossom and Baku sat in relative silence, only broken by the sound of Baku munching on one of the crispy treats. Blossom sighed and snatched one for herself. If she wasn't quit, he'd eat them all!
"You've never called her your mother before," Aku pointed out, putting his arm around Blossom. She nodded.
"Not...out loud, at least," She whispered. But it was true wasn't it? That...hadn't been part of the plan at all. It just slipped out. Blossom looked up at Aku. The god had crispy crumbs around his mouth. He looked down at her, offering the last bite of his treat. She smiled and nodded, surprised when he unceremoniously popped it in her mouth. Chewing, glaring, and with a childish sense of revenge, Blossom caught Aku's finger in her mouth before he could pull away.
The sensation wasn't what either expected. Aku froze, red cracks breaking out on his chest. Though she hadn't meant to, Blossom sucked on his finger almost instinctively. It tasted so sweet, she thought absentmindedly, closing her eyes. Rubbing her thighs together, Blossom slowly pulled away, panting. Aku was so close now; she looked up into his eyes. She couldn't breath anymore...she almost didn't want to, it made it feel like time had stopped.
"Is...this part of your lesson?" Aku finally asked. His other hand pulled her closer. A stray tendril found its way to her leg, lightly trailing its way up her stocking, only pausing when it reached the hem of her skirt. Blossom wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling herself into his lap. The stray tendril slipped up her skirt, her legs wouldn't stop shaking.
"Yeah...and so is this..." She whispered, pulling him closer. As the two fell back against the bed, Blossom felt something happen, something went wrong. Aku suddenly shrunk, his body cooled. The tendril up her skirt was gone. She gasped and rolled over as the door opened and the Professor walked in.
"Blossom, I just wanted to apologi-" the Professor opened his eyes and stared at the scene before him. Blossom, laying on top of Baku, her skirt hiked up, her hair mussed. They were flushed, panting, her arms around his neck. Whatever diplomacy and tolerance his girlfriend had talked into him vanished in an instant, replaced by blind fury.
"OOOOOOOUT!" He shouted, pointing at the door. Blossom and Baku were downstairs in a flash. The Rowdyruff Boys, Dexter, and Agent Honeydew were gone. Baku pulled on his shoes, laughing and rambling incoherently, apologizing to the Professor, who was already at the bottom of the stairs, arms crossed, glaring at the pre-teen. Blossom flew up to his eye level. She was going to get her first kiss! No one was going to stop her!
"I'll see you tomorrow?" Baku nodded, she smiled, "Sorry about all this...um...good night!" She leaned forward. Baku leaned forward...only to be shoved out the door by Buttercup.
"And stay out!" She shouted, slamming the door in his face.
"Buttercup!" Blossom screamed, fury building in her heart unlike any she'd ever felt before. For a second she could feel her true power beginning to surface. She could feel the darkness bubbling up on the edge of her consciousness. She could almost feel her eyes beginning to burn.
"What is going on here?" Ms. Keane demanded, coming into the hallway. When she saw a furious Blossom, defiant Buttercup, and angry James, she could feel her own temper rising. "James Utonium! Buttercup Utonium! What did we just discuss?" Blossom clenched her fists so tight, she could feel her own bones grinding. She had to get away, she had to get away. She couldn't even hear their voices anymore. There was only a blinding, maddening black fury taking over her.
'Not now' she thought, struggling to control her own power. Vaguely, she was aware that her bracelet was starting to snap and sizzle. She climbed the stairs, taking each step one at a time. She came to a halt at the last step, looking up into a pair of big blue eyes.
"..." Blossom and Bubbles stood there, the former's fury slowly passing while the latter seemed to grow increasingly uncomfortable. Blossom sniffed and stomped passed Bubbles.
"I think you're perfect for each other," Bubbles suddenly said. Blossom froze and turned. Bubbles was holding Octi, but seemed to be ignoring him. He was staring at her, but she refused to look away from Blossom.
"You...do?" Blossom asked. Bubbles nodded and, for the first time in forever, smiled.
"Yeah, I do," she nodded and smiled, brighter still. Blossom slowly smiled too.
"Thank you," Bubbles looked down at Octi, gave Blossom one last smile, then slipped downstairs. Blossom laughed to herself as she went back to her room. He couldn't visit her at night anymore, now that he was projecting a fake tracking beacon for Uka-sensei. But they still had tomorrow. Tomorrow was going to be the day she had waited for for so long.
Tomorrow, she and Aku would share their first kiss!
