Kito and Kuponda Pumzi are  KitoTheManedLigress

It was a particularly chilly Saturday in January, the snow was piled on the ground, and the sun barely shone in the grey skies.
Todd went to visit his ligress cousin Kito Pumzi and her beautiful hippo wife Kuponda, using the excuse of seeing if they needed any repairs.
He knocked at the door and was swiftly answered by Kuponda.
Todd: "Hello hello, how's it going? Need anything fixed up?" He said with a smile.
Kuponda: "Hey there, uh nothing that I know of right off. But do you want to come in and warm up?" The green eyed hippo said inviting him in. An offer he could hardly refuse.
Kito then repositioned herself on the couch, laid up for a bit from an injured ankle caused by a recent trip overseas.
Kito: "Not unless you can patch me up." She chuckled.
Todd: "Sorry about that, might want to check with Dani on that one. I do however wish you a speedy recovery. Oven working alright? Sink stopped up maybe?" He said desperately wanting to be useful to somebody.
Knowing how her cousin was she said: "I think there's a little leak in the upstairs sink. Might want to check it out."
Todd: "Great! I'll get to it!" As the little dog rushed up the stairs, humming and talking to nobody in particular as he got to work.

Kito then motioned for her darling Kupo to come over and sit with her.
Kito: "Did you notice something?"
Kuponda: "That he's talking to himself?"
Kito: "Well, that. But I meant the humming. He's done that since he was a puppy. Usually when he's nervous or wanting someone to talk to." She ran her fingers through her mane and said: "Is your sister still single?"
Kuponda: "A few of them. But I'm guessing you don't mean Harufu or Gesi?"
Kito: "Heh, they'd be more my second choice. Great girls, but I think they'd kill him on accident. I was thinking Kichaa actually."
Kuponda: "Oh yeah, she actually just moved into a little apartment. Looking to set them up?"
Kito: "Maybe. I mean, I found the love of my life with a hippo." As she gave her a kiss.
Kuponda: "I'll see what I can do." As she held her close.
She then called and got the gears in motion to set them up.



After a while Todd was back downstairs a little damp, but everything was fixed.
Todd: "Alright, there we go. Need anything else patched up?"
Kuponda: "No, I think we are good. But I was wondering if you'd be interested in a date with my sister?"
Todd: "I would be honored to take your sister out. Any of them really."
Kuponda: "She doesn't know anybody around town, and I figured if you weren't busy that the two of you might want to hang out."
Todd: "I can always make time to hang out with a lovely lady. What's her name?"
Kuponda: "Kichaa Uzuri, tonight good with you?"
His eyes lit up: "Yes! Absolutely!" He dashed to the couch to give his cousin a hug, before kissing Kuponda's hand.
Todd: "Don't worry, I'll be a perfect gentleman to your sister. Thank you again!" As he dashed out the door.

He later arrived at Kichaa's apartment wearing a nice button up shirt and dress pants, carrying a bouquet of roses and a box of chocolates.
He nervously knocked at her door, hoping to make a good first impression.
After a minute she opened the door, wearing a pair of booty shorts and a crop top. Her gray belly on full display.
Todd: "Kichaa?" He said already a bit enamored by her. Her royal purple eyes string down at him, her shorts lightly squeezing her thick thighs.
Kichaa: "That's me. I'm assuming you are the guy my sister told me about?" She looked a little confused, assuming he would have been taller than this.
Todd: "Yes, sorry if I'm not quite what you imagined." As he handed her the gifts he brought.
Kichaa: "So where are we heading Todd?" She said before taking a whiff of the roses.
Todd: "Well I was thinking maybe we could have dinner at my place? I uh, I've got a delicious broccoli and potato soup in the crock pot and I've got the stuff to make some delectable dishes if that's not your thing."
Kichaa smiled: "Hmm, been a while since I've had a good home cooked meal. Sure thing short stuff."
She said playfully.
Todd: "Perfect! I do hope my cooking is up to snuff, I uh.. I've not had anyone to cook for in a while."

After getting to his place, she joined him in the kitchen. The two worked together and made some very tasty food, got a feel for each other's personalities and the two clicked rather easily.
Turned out the two even had similar tastes in movies, deciding to watch an old monster movie on the couch together. She even let him sit in her lap.
Kichaa: "Comfy little buddy?" As she rubbed his belly.
Todd: "Very much so, are you?" He asked as the credits rolled.
Kichaa: "Yeah but I know a way to make us a little cozier..."
Todd: "Oh? How is that?" He said trying to be a good and proper gentleman.
Kichaa: "If we swapped places, or took this snuggle session back to your bed?"
He blushed bright red as she carried him off. "Think your bed will hold a big girl like me?"
As she stripped him off and tossed him into bed, landing his head on a pillow.
Todd: "A-are you sure you want to do this? On a first date?"
By now she had her shorts and crop top on the floor, as she undid the hooks on her bra.
Kichaa: "You ready for the night of your life?"

The next morning she woke up, still a bit sleepy but with a smile on her face. She didn't see Todd at the time, but once she got up she found him underneath where had been sleeping. He looked a bit flatter than the night before. She stood him up and checked him over.
He then made unintelligent happy noises.
Kichaa: "You okay sugar?" She chuckled softly.
Todd: "Never been better in my life."
