Gender Bender Chapter 1, a mai hime fanfic

Chie kissed Aoi passionately, before pulling away, confused as the brunette stiffened. Aoi's blue eyes searched Chie's face anxiously, looking away quickly when she saw the pain in her eyes. Chie turned her head away slightly, watching as two figures approached in the distance. Aoi quickly raised her hand and turned Chie's head to face her.

"Forgive me…," she whispered, wincing as she saw the tears in her girlfriends eyes. Chie's jaw clenched and she pulled away and wiped her eyes. Chie turned away and stormed off, clearly upset. Aoi stared after her, knowing that she would have to apologize later.

She was jerked out of her reverie by her two friends, Tokiha Mai and Minagi Mikoto. They were smiling happily and at that moment Aoi felt an uncharacteristic flare of anger at the two. How could they be happy, when their appearance had hurt Chie? She offered them a small smile, though it was particularly weak and Mai picked up on it almost immediately.

"What's wrong, Aoi?" she asked, obviously concerned. Aoi looked t her and debated on what to say. Saying she was fine would cause Mai to pry, so that was out of the question. She could always…

"I offended a friend and I'm not sure how to apologize…," she murmured, it was close enough. Mai smiled slyly, almost absently allowing Mikoto to leap onto her back happily.

"That boy you were just kissing?" she inquired, trying to sound innocent. Aoi felt her face flush red and her heart hammer, almost painfully. Mai giggled.

"You don't have to be shy Aoi…," Mikoto nodded in agreement and Aoi felt her face go redder, if that were possible.

"Ah… that is… um… I'd rather… not…," she stammered, thanking every god there was that Mai had mistaken Chie for a male like most people. Mai smiled and placed her hand on Aoi's shoulder.

"If you don't want to talk about it that's fine but if you ever do need to talk… feel free to approach me," Mai said seriously, her reassuring lilac ones meeting Aoi's panicked blue orbs. Nodding uncertainly, Aoi tore her gaze away and focused on the ground. They fell silent for a while.

"Hey, Aoi, if he really is your boyfriend then you could always do some bedroom role playing," suggested Mai out of the blue, causing Aoi to stumble and Mikoto to look confused.

"MAI!!!!" screamed Aoi, in horrified embarrassment. Mai laughed as Aoi continued to splutter in protest at her sudden advice.

Aoi knocked on the door to Chie's apartment, feeling slightly apprehensive. It was soon opened by her dark-haired love and she slipped inside. Chie seemed to be still upset and a little confused when she realised Aoi was still wearing her school uniform. Aoi just smiled impishly, before skipping away into the bathroom. Chie followed her and knocked on the door, wondering whether she was OK.

"Hey Aoi… what are you doing?" she called, frowning. Aoi answered her but Chie couldn't make out the words. Chie frowned even more, before shrugging and opening her mouth to call again. The door swung open at this point to reveal a slightly flushed Aoi. She quickly pressed something cool and made of metal into Chie's hand and pecked on the lips. Pulling away she smiled and ducked away, towards Chie's bedroom.

Chie glanced at what Aoi had given her and felt her eyes widen, a pair of handcuffs. Feeling as if she were missing something, Chie followed the brown-haired beauty into the bedroom.

"Aoi, what…?" Aoi cut her off by placing her finger on the startled girls lips. Aoi smiled.

"I'm not wearing any panties Chie…," Chie felt her widen and then she began to grin, engulfing her girlfriend in a breathtaking kiss. Her hands soon confirming Aoi was not wearing any underwear.

"Punish me, Chie…," whispered Aoi, as Chie planted kisses along her collar bone. Chie wasted no time, securing Aoi's hands behind her back, she pushed her onto the bed. Pausing to examine her one and only, she couldn't help but smile evilly. Then she descended, making sure Aoi was thoroughly punished.

Aoi lay back on the bed, squeaking slightly when Chie ran her hands up the inside of her thigh. Chie chuckled, and then snuggled closer too her, smiling smugly.

"Chie… could you un-cuff me?" asked Aoi, squirming uncomfortably. Chie sat up allowing the sheets to fall, exposing her well endowed chest that was normally hidden underneath baggy clothes.

"No…," she grinned, running her fingers over Aoi's stomach. Aoi whimpered and Chie stopped before her face took on a serious look.

"You did it again," she accused. Aoi looked away, remembering why she had allowed Chie to cuff her in the first place. Feeling guilty, she turned back, their eyes meeting once more.

"You're ashamed of us… of me," Aoi forced herself to hold her lovers gaze, no matter how much like a kicked puppy it looked. Chie sighed before dragging Aoi onto her lap, the brunette gasping in surprise at the sudden movement.

"When… when will you tell everyone?" it was a plea almost, Chie's way of telling her something was wrong. That she didn't want to be Aoi's dirty little secret and that's what she currently felt like. A way of telling she was hurting.

"I'm scared Chie…," she murmured, feeling herself begin to cry. Chie held her and rocked her gently, assuring her it would be OK.

"My parents won't approve… people at school will hate me," She sobbed, feeling Chie burrow into her neck. Finally she finished crying and Chie laid her down, pulling blankets over both of them.

"Chie…," came Aoi's unsure voice. Chie shifted slightly.

"Hmmm," came Chie's reply.

"The cuffs…," there was a click and Aoi sighed happily.

"Thanks Chie,"

Aoi slipped into the house, praying her mother wasn't in the living room. She probably was, but miracles could happen. She glanced into the next room, spotting her mother immediately.

"Hi mum, I'm home," She called, quieter than usual. Her mother glanced round and smiled warmly before standing up and embracing her only child.

"Aoi… you used protection, right?" She asked, holding Aoi at arms length by the shoulders and looking into her eye. Aoi felt her face grow warm.

"Mother!" she hissed. Julia Senou smiled, her eyes showing their laughter as her daughter squirmed. She patted her on the back and indicated for her to go to bed. As Aoi left, Julia's face settled into one of mild discontent.

Not that you'd need protection with another woman…

Julia was quite aware of who her daughter was dating… she'd followed her once and had witnessed the interaction between the two. At first she'd thought Ms. Hallard had been a young man but had soon realised that she was a woman. At first she'd been outraged and had wanted march over and slap her for doing such things with her daughter. After all, Chie was two years older than Aoi and Julia could just imagine her taking advantage of her poor, sweet baby. However, examining their interactions it became clear the two were deeply in love and Julia felt a bit better. She just dreaded what would happen when her father found out.

Aoi smiled as she ran up to Chie, and skidded to a halt. Her eyes roamed the sea of delights before her, Chie always went over board when left in charge of any catering project. The girl was an excellent cook and even better photographer but she had the enthusiasm of a ten-year-old buying sweets and the sheer quantity of her work reflected this.

"You like it?"

Aoi smiled as she sat down and nodded happily, picking up a sandwich and taking a bite out of it. Chie grinned and helped herself as well.

"Aoi…?" Aoi almost choked on the sausage roll she was eating. It was Mai and Mikoto. Chie looked between Aoi and Mai before shooting Mai a charming smile.

"Good day, my name is Chie Hallard, care to join us?" She asked. Mikoto immediately dug in and Mai sighed before sitting down next to Aoi.

"As I was saying earlier Aoi, it seems like my brother is going to be a no show," Aoi smiled weakly at Chie, desperately apologizing with her eyes.

"Ah, that's a shame…," she mumbled and began to eat, knowing that the lie would fall apart if she started talking for a more than a few sentences. They sat in an uncomfortable silence, with only the sound of Mikoto's voracious eating to break it. Finally Mai rose.

"I'll get going now… come on Mikoto," They left leaving the two lovers on their own. The silence continued for a while.

"I'm sooo sorry…," began Aoi, but stopped unable to think of anything else to say.

"It's OK…," mumbled Chie.

"Hi, guys," The glanced up, to be confronted by a green-eyed redhead. She was smiling mischievously and both of them immediately distrusted her.

"I'm Juliet Nao Zhang, call me Nao, and I hear you've got a little problem," she continued, in a mock sincere tone. Her eyes sparkled with mirth, only heightening the two lovers distrust of her. She waved her hand imperiously as Chie opened her mouth to speak, then she tapped Chie and murmured something inaudible.

"There that'll solve your problem, have fun," giggled Nao, disappearing. Chie and Aoi were left staring at each other, mouths open.

"Did that just happen?" asked Aoi, shaking her head. Chie scratched her head in confusion, before smiling evilly.

"Hey Aoi, call your parents and tell them you'll be out tonight," she murmured into Aoi's ear, seductively. Aoi blushed and turned to her, giving her a strange look.

"Why?" she asked, still slightly creeped out by the Juliet Nao Zhang incident and now Chie's acting strangely. Chie caressed her cheek lovingly.

"'Cause your going to apologize to me again…,"

Aoi met Chie's eyes and lunged for her phone as Chie began to pack the picnic away.

Nao watched as her two most recent victims piled their rubbish into a car and got in. The brunette was blushing furiously whilst the other one laughed. Finally they got in and drove off, dismissing her appearance as a delusion or dream. Nao smiled evilly, oh this was going to be good. What's more is that it would definitely get up that whipped dog, Kruger's, nose. Misuse of Magic indeed…

Sunlight shone through the cream coloured curtains of Chie's bedroom. The owner of said bedroom began to stir, before rolling over and hiding her head in her pillow. The woman next to her also stirred but instead she sat up, glancing at her lover with a fond smile. However, it soon fell from her face.

"Chie, I think I know what that Nao person meant…," Chie glanced at her as she pointed towards the body-length mirror positioned in the corner. She sat and frowned, before looking into it. Then she understood.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!?!?!?!"
