Background:
I've always been mild mannered to say the least. Truthfully any sort of attention makes me freeze up. I have a habit of panicking and overthinking about any social interaction - even for things as simple as paying for a bus ticket or signing for a delivery. I get so nervous that I'm often either overly polite and come off as condescending, or I take too long to respond and come off as rude. So I mastered the art, not through intentional practice but reflexive habit brought about by my anxieties, of being unnoticed. Socially invisible. Sometimes it feels lonely, but whenever I see the bullies in my class spit wads of paper into the hairs of known otakus and outliers or the social butterflies get into yet more drama and fights because of the messy webs of their social lives I feel relieved. I'd much rather be invisible and safe than be seen and have to deal with all of that. It's just more comfortable this way.
Its not that I don't like people. I generally do, and I want to be nice and warm. That's the way Hinako-san is. So caring and comforting all the time, despite having to look after three kids all day every day. My mother's sister; though she's the one who raised me all these years. She doesn't treat me any differently from her own kids. Everything I know about my birth mother I know through her. How I was a love child, how she was worried about raising me on her own when pregnant, but once I was born seemed overjoyed at the notion. How much she must be proud of me. Hina-san set up a small shrine for the two of us in our home to our mother. Occasionally she takes me there so we can speak to her. But I don't really know what to say... Whenever I think of my mother, I picture Hina-san. This other woman... I don't know her.
Eiji-san, Hinako's husband, is a businessman. Often very busy, which leaves much of the household chores and parental responsibility to Hinako. I've started helping out where I can, but its still a lot for her to deal with. Not that I consider Eiji lazy. Whenever he returns from one of his business trips, he's clearly very tired and stressed out. Sometimes his trips take him overseas, and he brings back souvenirs for me and his kids. Though sometimes I wonder if he's a little resentful of me. I'm another mouth to feed, so that means he has to work even more and see his family even less. I faintly recall him being a bit uneasy with the idea of Hina-san taking me in when I was very little, but since then he seems to have warmed to me more. Though I don't think he views me as a daughter. More like an prolonged houseguest.
I used to be much closer with my cousins than I am now. The twins, though they couldn't be more different from each other these days, used to play with me all the time when we were little. Though as time went on we grew more and more apart. Chiyuri even seemed to actively distance herself from me. As I grew more and more socially awkward, she flourished. She might be one of the most popular girls in our school. She's somehow managed to make it so that no one notices that we're related. Which I suppose I should be grateful for, I don't need the attention that would come with that. Half the boys in the school faun over her and grovel for chances to earn her approval. The other half act like they don't care, but I've seen them looking her way and hoping she might catch an interest in them.
Yuji is, like I said, the opposite. Which would make him more inclined to still be close to me - and he was for a bit longer than Chiyuri was - but not for long. Yuji's antisocial tendencies have circled around to drawing more attention than less. Despite his smarts, he barely applies himself to anything other than his video games and the various personal projects on his computer that he won't let anyone else look at. He seems embittered with the wider world, leaving him with a fairly carefree attitude when it comes to authority figures and people's perception of him. He's also gotten into the habit of causing embarrassing pranks on Chiyuri and myself quite often. Sometimes I think he even goes through my things when I'm not in my room. Eiji-san was once training him to follow in his career path one day, although in recent years it seems he's given up on that. It seems like Hina-san is the only person who still hasn't accepted that Yuji has resigned himself to the life of a NEET once he either graduates or, more likely, drops out.
As for me? I'm happy to continue going by unnoticed. High school is tricky enough without making my final year even more complicated, so I'll keep to myself and focus on my studies until I graduate. I have my own ways of destressing. The school library is like my little quiet oasis. Even without the enforced quiet rules, there's usually hardly anyone in there. Sometimes its just me and the librarian, so I can read away and relax without worrying about somehow embarrassing myself. After hiding away in my room during the party Chiyuri had to celebrate her 18th birthday (I don't think anyone there knew it was Yuji's birthday as well), I'm glad that my 18th is going to be a quiet one. I expect Hina-san will want to do something between just the two of us, which will be nice. And once todays over and one with I can go right back to my normal, unassuming final year at school.
Perks:
Unassuming Reputation: Though Aiko is about to start getting a lot more attention than she's used to, she still has the reputation of a quiet, well-behaved and productive student. Authority figures at home and her school are less likely to be suspicious of Aiko. Even if they catch her somewhere she isn't or doing something wrong, they'll be more inclined to assume she's either been forced into it or its just an innocent misunderstanding. It would take multiple serious infractions to start damaging her reputation.
Eyes of Desire: An ability Aiko has available to her even in her human form, Aiko can see the fantasies, lustful thoughts and desired sexual characteristics of the people she looks at.
Inhuman Strength: Aiko's demonic blood provides her with enhanced strength and speed. This boon is amplified even further when in her Succubus Form.
Innate Talent: Despite being a virgin whose never even been able to hold her crush's hand, Aiko's body knows how to please others. The way she walks will subconsciously drift towards more seductive styles. Any sexual act she participates in will be on the level of an expert. Her body will always feel perfect to anyone seeking to enjoy it. These sudden talents will come with a few side effects, typically in the form of some sultry or sexually implicit acts or mannerisms Aiko may find herself performing unintentionally, but these will just strengthen her appeal to others.
Flaws:
Captivating Aura: For a succubus looking to gain power, this is a definite boon. To a high school girl looking to avoid attention, this couldn't be worse. While most of her new powers seem to require being activated and take energy to maintain, this one seems to run all on its own with no clear way to stop it. Wherever she goes, Aiko will turn heads. People will start taking interest in her and wanting to get to know her more. They'll notice features that she has that they find attractive more prominently. She won't be able to avoid attention any longer.
Sealed Power: The strength of most of her succubus abilities is limited while in her human form. In order to tap into their full potential she must transform into her succubus body. However there are certain drawbacks to this. Firstly, there's no hiding what she is in this form. Even if she isn't recognised, anyone who sees her succubus form would obviously discern she's an otherworldly beauty in a literal sense. Secondly, this form requires lustful energy to sustain. Aiko will passively acquire lustful energy from the thoughts and desires of those around her throughout her day to day life, but this replenishes her strength slowly. As she is half human, she has an advantage that most succubus don't in that she can masturbate and tap into her own lustful energy to fuel herself, though even this is a minimal boost compared to the lustful energy she can gain from others. From coy teasing to a kiss all the way to indulging in some of the wildest kinks humans have, the amount of lustful energy is dependent on the act committed and the more powerful she grows, the more energy she'll need to fuel her powers.
Easily Flustered: Aiko would sooner eat something she was allergic to than tell a server they got her order wrong. Any sort of social interaction could cause her to panic. As it turns out, positive social interactions might be her biggest weakness of all. The intense flustered feeling she'd get being enough to through her off balance and disrupt her composure. This extends to physically as well as mentally, as her body is just as unused to the attentions of others as her mind as, leaving her particularly vulnerable to being played with and teased.
Turn Ons: sub/dom play, incest, hypnosis, corruption, gangbang, blackmail, cheating, cuckolding, drunk / drugged sex, rape, bestiality, humiliation, teasing, bondage, musk, sexual competition
Turn Offs: gore, vore, pedo, scat, insects and arachnids
Your day begins the same as it usually did: the ringing of your alarm just as the sun begins to break over the horizon, and the suggestion of dawn plays at the sky just behind your blinds. It's a tad early to be getting up, even for a high school student, but an exemplary student like yourself is expected to have an exemplary track record of attendance, and risking tardiness would just bring way too much heat down on you for your liking. Plus, you need to get up early if you want to beat Chiyuri to the bathroom. That girl is basically a black hole for hot water, to say nothing of how long her make-up routine takes. By the time you've pried yourself from the warmth and comfort of your blankets and gotten down the hall to the bathroom, you can just barely make out the beginnings of the daily routine downstairs. Your aunt might be the only other person in the house to rise as early as you, and even still, she seems to have beaten you downstairs and into the kitchen by ten or twenty minutes. Not that it matters all that much for your purposes; Aunt Hina has cooked pretty much every meal you've eaten since you were old enough to eat anything at all, and you doubt she'd give up that streak today of all days. It is your birthday, after all.
Not that you expect that to change much of anything, either. For the best, really. There were efforts to make your birthday a big event when you were younger, perhaps an overcompensation to make you feel like more a part of the family than anything else, but they were abandoned after a few years of discomfort. You had always been a wallflower, of course, and the spotlight only tended to make you wither. Luckily, your aunt proved to be sensitive to your needs, and birthday celebrations transitioned from big parties to little day trips with just the two of you. A lunch at a cafe, a shopping trip for some new books or clothes, and some light conversation with one of the few people who engaged with you on a level you could handle. That did a lot to tamp down on the dread of the coming day.
Of course, you weren't sure how much longer you would get to have those little aunt-niece dates. You turned eighteen years old today, only one more year of school left before you inevitably shuffled off to university and a big, new, terrifying world. You weren't even quite sure where you would be going. Maybe you could find a nice university closer to home, closer to where your tenuous comfort zone was. Of course, maybe it was for the best you tried to stretch your wings at least a little bit, lest you ended up like Yuji. His impending future (or late thereof) was bound to be a sore spot for the family, even as Chiyuri practically strained at the chains of your simple little home life. No doubt she'd take the wider world by storm, just like she did the local high school.
You quickly shower and get yourself presentable, changing from ruffled pajamas into your neatly pressed uniform, painstakingly ironed and set out by your aunt at the start of every week. Only, maybe this week, she was a little too eager to get it smoothed out. It's a little tighter than usual, and you find yourself struggling to do up the buttons of your blouse, the fabric pressing into your chest as you wrestle it closed. It's not the only thing that's quite a bit more snug than when you last wore it; not only is your skirt riding up a little higher than you like—so, far shorter than just about every other girl in your class—but your underwear also seem to hug your body just enough to be uncomfortable. A consummate homemaker, it wasn't at all like Aunt Hina to shrink your laundry, but even as you stand under the light of the mirror, you can't help but flush at the sight of yourself. You look... well, not promiscuous. That would be rude to Chiyuri, because with how your uniform seems to cling to every curve and contour of your body, you can't help but think you look a lot like your much more popular cousin, in the very same way that makes her so popular with the male student body.
A banging on the door shakes you from your staring, and you hurry to the door just in time to see Yuji pushing his head through. He looks at you through bleary eyes, blinking beneath messy, bedhead tangled hair, and then blinks a little faster as his eyes settle on you. They linger, for a time, on your body, then your face, then your body again, before eventually looking for anything other than you to look at.
"Mornin'... Mom's got a surprise for you, so, y'know... hurry up."
He doesn't leave you much time to explain yourself before he's popped back out the door, retreating to his cave until you've vacated the bathroom for the next of the Kogane brood to take their place. Without a replacement uniform to squeeze into, you're left with little option but to head downstairs to meet with your aunt. It doesn't take her long to find you, the only mother figure you've ever known greeting you as you descend the stairs into the living room. She seems taken aback by the sight of you at first, but she's quick to bury down the surprise, offering you a warm smile instead,
"Happy birthday, sweetie," She closes the space between you to welcome you into a quick hug, squeezing you gently and holding you for just a few moments longer than you're used to, "I can't believe it's been eighteen years already. You're all grown up."
When she finally pulls away, her hands linger on you, cupping your cheeks like she's holding some precious treasure. In some ways, maybe you are one to her. She has two children of her own, both as grown up as you are by now, but neither of them seemed to maintain the same connection as you had over the years. Yuji, as teenage boys tended to do, retreated from his mother's warmth long ago, and his contentious relationship with authority since hasn't done much to endear him since. Chiyuri isn't much better, hardly coming home any more, so swept up in her friends and life and boys that coming up with the time for a sit down dinner at home seems all but impossible. Of all the birds preparing to leave the nest, your flight might be the one to hurt the most. Luckily, Hina doesn't let that notion linger for too long.
"Look at me, getting all sentimental. Don't let me stop you from eating, honey. I made you pancakes today; and after school, we can go to that little cafe down the train station, if you'd like. It's been a while since we've had a chance to just talk."
It's pitched as something for you to look forward to, but you can tell she's been looking forward to this just as much if not more. With your uncle often absent from home, your aunt doesn't have much of a reason to get out and about any more. You might be content to disappear into the world of books and silence, but the weight of loneliness isn't something Hina seems cut out for. Maybe today would be good for the both of you, bittersweet though it was.
