Kyou walked through the door, her feet moving only from the momentum they had held before. She stumbled up the stairs, her body aching from earlier that night.
She quietly entered her room, her sister Ryou sleeping lightly on the bed beside hers. Trying her best to remain silent, she plopped down on her bed and looked at the clock. Its red luminescent lights read 2:35 am.
"Crap, it's late," Kyou moaned as she rolled onto her back and looked at her ceiling, remembering earlier that night. the time she had spent with Tomoya. It had been amazing.
They had kissed several times and enjoyed themselves far too much, losing track of the time. He had offered to walk her home, she remembered, but she declined, saying Nagisa's family was probably worried sick about him, or worse, thinking he was having sex with someone other than their daughter. Even though they wouldn't admit it, everyone knew they wanted Tomoya to date Nagisa.
The thought of having sex with Tomoya sent shivers down her spine. She wasn't ready for something that serious.
She started to doze off, she thought she smelled a light trace the sweet smell of the fair with a hint of hair lotion; Tomoya's hair lotion, drifting into her nostrils as her vision faded.
"And where were you?" the stern voice of her sister broke the silence of the room, bringing Kyou from her thoughts.
"Wha?! I was at the fair!" Kyou said, her voice trembling with shock, "Aren't you supposed to be asleep?"
"So you were at a fair until 2:35 am?" her sister questioned suspiciously, ignoring the question Kyou had asked her.
"No! I had to walk home too, you know!"
"Okay so until 2:00 then?" At this point Kyou knew she was trapped. She had no way to get out of the immediate assumption that she had, had sex with some random person, or at least someone her sister didn't know, whose name was Rodrick.
"I swear to you I was at the fair, not doing dirty things!" Kyou said before rolling over onto her bed and closing her eyes, trying to block out her sisters questions.
Kyou yawned and stretched her arms out as thick rays of sun made them through the open window across the room from Kyou's bed. She got out of bed, her navy blue dress draped over her.
"So what does sex feel like?" Ryou asked mockingly from where she sat on her bed which was adjacent to Kyou's own. Her eyes pierced Kyou's like lasers and Kyou tried as hard as she could to avoid their glare.
"I didn't have sex with Tom- Rodrick!" she shouted, stuttering when saying his name, remembering she didn't want to hurt her sister's feelings by saying she went out; in fact was asked by the boy of her dreams.
"Wait a second," Ryou said, "You stuttered on that name! Who did you really go out with?!"
"No one!" Kyou snapped back, "I went to the fair with a guy named Rodrick and that was that; okay?!"
"Ooooh who is it?" Ryou asked, her voice trailing off into thought, "Who're you really going out with?"
"No one!" Kyou shouted at her sister before running out of her bedroom, tears streaming down her face as she ran into the bathroom, locking the door behind her.
Kyou had never lied to her sister before, and never had lied to her about a topic this serious. She knew she'd be in a lot more trouble if she kept who she had really gone out with a secret, but she knew the bond between her and her sister might never be repaired.
The choice was a tough one, and when Kyou finally emerged from the bathroom, she was red faced from tears, but determined to tell her sister and parents one story, the story that could get her in trouble, or the story that could ruin the bond her sister had with her.
