Rachel, after she finished talking with her father, went out of the door on the way to school. As she was passing the Tachibana residence, she was joined by Megumi. Rachel noticed the rather wry grin on Megumi's face. "So, did you have a good time last night?" Megumi asked breaking the silence.
"What?" Rachel asked. "I mean...what do you mean?"
Megumi turned to face Rachel and said, "I heard what you and Aaron were up to. You moan quite loudly." Megumi's grin grew wider as she watched Rachel's face turn a bright red.
"I know we...um...had...um...but it didn't..." Rachel stammered out before Megumi put a finger on Rachel's mouth. Rachel went quiet as the pair continued to walk to school.
"It's alright," Megumi said, "Although, judging by the fact that you're still normal, the two of you didn't quite go all the way." Rachel nodded confirming what Megumi said. "Well, that's good, I suppose. Have you decided on which group you want to join?"
"Well," Rachel said, "Not yet. I'm still trying to decide. I think my dad's okay with it, although, a bit..."
"Protective?" Megumi said finishing Rachel's sentence. "Yeah, lots of the new residents to Moon Lake are about that, especially the parents. They can't imagine their innocent sons and daughters going through and...you know...enjoying themselves. Parents who are already weres tend to be a bit more...liberal about this."
Rachel thought for a moment and said, "Yeah, I think I can get why. I mean, don't you guys have high libidos or something?"
Megumi chuckled and said, "That's one way of putting it. Yeah, the sex drive is a bit stronger in weres. Add in teenage hormones, and it doesn't take much for a teenage were to...well...get in the mood if you know what I mean." She paused to think a bit before continuing. "There's this saying we have at school. The only thing more rare than an unchanged student in high school is a virgin were. It's why we have such strict rules about kissing, holding hands, and stuff like that. They don't want the school to turn into a giant orgy."
Rachel chuckled as she asked, "Seriously?"
"Well, there might be an overstatement, but it's not that far off from the truth," Megumi answered. "If you look through the past year books, it's not strange to have a graduating class full of weres. The Freshmen might be about two-thirds were, but the Senior class might be all weres."
"So, all of the normal people in the class is turned were? By force?" Rachel asked.
"Well, no," Megumi answered slowly, "I mean, we have strict rules against turning people against their will."
"Except..." Rachel started.
"Yeah, there are exceptions," Megumi said, cutting off Rachel, "but ever since I've been alive, that rule has never been used. Most of the time, it's willingly. Sometimes a girl falls in love with a guy, and becomes a were to be with him. Sometimes, a guy sees what a certain were group has, and joins that group to get what they have. And accidents have happened."
"Accidents?" Rachel asked, "What sort of accident?"
"As you may already know," Megumi answered, "turning a normal into a were can happen through a few different ways. Being scratched by a were can start the change, as well as being bitten by one. Although, I haven't heard of anyone being bitten in a long time. Sexual fluids can also start the change. I heard of one girl who became a weretiger after giving a blowjob to one, even though he didn't cum in her mouth." Rachel thought back to last night's activities, and wondered if she was going to change into a werevixen. Aaron's cum did land on her, so she thought, so she should be turning into a werefox, right? "Most of the time, though, the change is caused by good old fashioned sex," Megumi continued, breaking Rachel's thought. "And most normals end up becoming a were of some type before they graduate high school. There are exceptions, of course, it's just...well...it rarely happens."
"I...I see," Rachel said as the two of them approached the school. "Thank you for telling me all this. See you during study period."
Megumi smiled at Rachel and said, "Sure, I'll see you then," before bounding up the stairs into the school.
Rachel followed her in and started to head to her first class before she spotted Melissa Jenkins. "Mel!" Rachel called out, waving her hand. Melissa spotted Rachel and waved back, joining her friend in the hallway. "Hey, Mel, guess what? You'll never believe what happened last night!"
"Oh," Melissa Jenkins replied with a smile, "Did something happen?"
"Well, mom and dad went out and..." Rachel started before interrupted by the warning bell. Rachel frowned and said, "Aw, we gotta get to class. I'll tell you later during lunch period."
Melissa huffed and said, "All right, but you better spill then." The two then split to go to their respective morning classes.
