It was another normal winter festival for me. Well…not exactly normal. I was walking back to my dorm, the slifer red dorm, after the school festival. I could still hear the shouts and cheers as people welcomed in the new year. I wasn't amoung them. I had never been big into crowds. That was my brother Yugi's turf. Mine was the ocean and the library.
Anyway back to my story. It was cold and my dark blue kimono did little to protect me from the chill of the night as I walked down the path. I heard a noise in the bushes so I turned around and who should jump out of the bushes but my crush's best friend and my couisin Judai Yuki.
"J-Judai! Na ni? What are you doing dobe?" I hissed as I helped him up out of the snow.
His eyes were red and he smelled like sake. Oh for the love of Isis, hes drunk off his ass! Jaden put his arm around me and breathed on my neck.
"Hey (hic) Heba. What do you say we go back to my dorm and have a little (hic) fun?" Jaden slurred, kissing my neck.
"Jaden get off." I hissed. He normally flirted with me when he was sobber but now he was drunk and things could get really out of hand if I let them.
Jaden, groped my left breast and I turned and slapped him. He slapped me back and he hit me so hard I landed in the snow. After trying to crawl ontop of me, I kicked his nuts and ran as fast as I could to the dorm. The ra yellow dorm. I knew the otheres were at the festival and Sho had stayed in to study. When I knocked on the door and Sho saw my disheaveled look, the bruise on my face, the bruised lips, the red eyes, the messy hair, and the soaked Kimono said it all. He didn't ask. He knew already. He let me in, gave me a pair of pajamas, let me take a shower, and made me some tea before we really sat down on his bed to talk.
"What happened?" Sho asked.
I told him everything. My date making out with Alexis on the ferris wheel, getting humiliated when I cried on the rollercoaster, and what happened with Jaden. By the time I was finished I was sobbing my hear out and Sho looked ready to kill somone.
"He tried…..He didn't…..I didn't let him." I said before I broke down. I was shaking so hard. I was so frightened. I could have been a victim. But all those thoughts were banished when Sho kissed me. It wasn't rough or sloppy. It was sweet, gentle, a simple close lipped kiss.
"I love you Heba. If you'll let me…I'll make you forget what he did to you tonight. I'll love you every moment of forever. I swear to the Gods." Sho said.
I threw my arms around him and kissed him, knocking us both back on the bed. I knew we wouldn't go any farther and I was glad for that. As we parted Sho smiled at me and I smiled down at him.
"Heba Yuki Mouto, I love you." Sho said.
"And I love you Sho." With that we smiled again.
"Now what?" Sho asked as we sat up.
I put his arms around my shoulders as I sat between his legs.
"Just hold me." I whispered.
