The Moment that Started Everything
Takeba Yukari could not believe what just happened. She was standing with everyone else staring at Kirijo–senpai, who at the moment was in a state of shock. Just a few minutes earlier Kirijo-senpai witnessed her father's death with her very own eyes. She was bound just like the rest of SEES to a cross and had no mobility to stop the tragedy that had just occurred. You see, it turns out that the Chairman and adviser for SEES, Ikustuki Shuji was using them this whole time. They all believed that once they defeated the 12 Arcana Shadows, the Dark Hour would cease to exist, but it was just a trick, a hoax. He did something to Aigis and put the rest of SEES in danger.
Just thinking of herself on that cross made Yukari's stomach churn. She wanted to bust out of the chains that held her and kill the guy. They were like his puppets and just thinking of being used that way made her want to scream. Though what she witnessed was far worse. The man that she thought she hated Kirijo Takeharu, Kirijo-senpai's father came to confront the Chairman and save them. One thing lead to another and by the end everything built up to this moment, this horrible awkward moment that left everyone with nothing but more questions than answers.
Yukari felt speechless, confused, frustrated and nervous. During this whole incident, she learned that the Chairman had 'modified' her own father's message making it as if he was to blame for the Shadows existence. She didn't know what to believe anymore and yet she needed answers.
As she was about to leave with her leader and Junpei, she took a deep breath. She stopped as she heard Sanada-senpai trying to help Kirijo-senpai up. Yukari felt bad seeing Kirijo-senpai in this state and wanted to do something to maybe help, she had gone through the same tragedy at a very young age, and Kirijo-senpai would need someone to confide in. Without any thought Yukari turned around and looked at Sanada-senpai, who was now trying to keep Kirijo-senpai balanced. He seemed to be very worried for her and yet, he appeared to be lost on just what to say to her.
Yukari took that time to ask, "Senpai…Would you like me to take her to her room?"
"Huh?" Sanada-senpai said out of confusion as if his mind was somewhere else. He looked up at Yukari with a raised brow before he registered her words.
Yukari knows that it's not as if Sanada-senpai doesn't trust her, it's just that throughout the months she has been quite a handful for his dear friend. She watched as he seemed to contemplate if giving Kirijo-senpai to her would be the best idea. He didn't seem to want to because he wanted to help Kirijo-senpai himself.
Finally making up his mind Sanada-senpai grunted, "Yeah fine, but first let's get her out of here alright?"
"Oh yes senpai, right," Yukari answered nervously as she walked over to the other side of the other woman. Though just as she was about to grab the other girls arm, a weak yet firm hand gently slapped her hand away, causing Yukari to step away as she met cold crimson eyes.
Yukari winced as Kirijo-senpai glared at both of them. She could tell that the girl was in no mood to deal with anyone, let alone be treated as if she was a china doll. She wanted to be alone, and brush this off as nothing. Yukari had to remember that she was a Kirijo and a Kirijo shows no fear, no tears, and no flaws. Kirijo-senpai brushed Sanada-senpai off her and started to make her way to the entrance that would lead her out of Tartarus's lobby. She had only taken a few steps when Yukari saw Sanada-senpai grab Kirijo-senpai's wrist, forcing her to stay so she could receive the help she needed. Yet the older girl just continued to protest.
"I do not need anyone to help me Akihiko, Takeba, so please leave me alone."
Yukari felt her heart breaking as she heard her Kirijo-senpai's voice. It was shaking but still demanding, telling them that she needed to be alone. Yukari did not know why she wanted to be alone. It's probably to let out her feelings privately. She thought sadly before hearing Sanada-senpai's voice.
"Like hell we would leave you alone. Dammit Mitsuru, your father was just…", Yukari bit her lip as his eyes widened, that was the last thing Kirijo-senpai would want to hear, yet Sanada-senpai could not stop his final word. "Killed."
Kirijo-senpai wrapped her arms even tighter around her chest. It was clear that she was very close to tears, but before Yukari or Sanada-senpai could say anything else Kirijo-senpai left Tartarus with quick strides, the loud clicks of her boots echoing in her wake. Yukari sighed. She heard Sanada-senpai growl before he nearly punched a hole in a wall. She looked up at him, surprised and a little scared. Yukari never really understood any of the upperclassmen, but at that moment she felt that she needed to do something and fast. She didn't like seeing someone that was usually positive and up beat in such a state and she certainly didn't like to see Kirijo-senapi so vulnerable.
I can't just let her be alone…its hurting me, Yukari thought, Sanada-senpai, and everyone else in SEES…Yukari thought long and hard before finally making her mind up. I'll talk to her, we may not have a lot in common but if Sanada-senpai can't get through to her someone has to.
With a clear mind and a set goal, Yukari bowed to Sanada-senpai, before making her way out of Tartarus as fast as she could. She knew she could catch up to Kirijo-senpai if she kept up her pace but she was worried that the girl was already at Iwatodai dorm. Luckily the Kirijo heiress was only a few feet away. Yukari started to slow down once she made her way to the girl's side but made herself stop a few steps back. She could not be next to her. It just didn't seem right at that moment.
They were quiet for some time. Yukari didn't know what to say. Well that plan went well. She thought sarcastically. She always had a problem talking to Kirijo-senpai, it was either awkward or SEES related. With a sigh she glanced up at the white full moon above them, feeling a little relived that it was no longer the Dark Hour. She listened to the clicks of Kirijo-senpai's boots and couldn't help looking ahead. Almost automatically her eyes wandered towards Kirijo-senpai's figure. She was always quite jealous of Kirijo-senpai, not only because she had this power over everyone, but also because she was one of the most beautiful girls in Gekkoukan.
It bothered her because at times she couldn't help but admire Kirijo-senpai's curves and the way her hair moved whenever she walked. It's strange really. She usually had this kind of attraction towards men, she even harbors a small crush on Minato-kun. Yet, lately she finds herself staring more and more at Kirijo-senpai, watching how she walks, how she holds her appearance in front of everyone, the way she bites her lip slightly when nervous or how her eyes seem to light up when she is happy, or when she has tried something new.
Minato-kun was not the only one she had a crush on. To say she was scared by her own feelings was an understatement. Before that day, Yukari hadn't known how to act around either of them. Now, walking behind one of them only made her more nervous.
Yukari sighed at her own nervousness and cursed her feelings. She really did not want to deal with her sexuality at the moment. Honestly it was the last thing she needed with everything else that was going on.
She took a deep breath before opening her mouth and saying,"Senpai…" God why is this so damn hard. If I was with Fuuka, Minato-kun or even Junpei I could do this, she thought as she continued. " I know how you feel about losing…" Just say it dammit. "Your father." There that wasn't hard was it? Nervously she waited for a reply, if there would be one.
"Do you now? Weren't you young when he died Takeba?" Kirijo-senpai's voice had no emotions and was like ice.
Yukari felt the temperature dip. It was clear that Kirijo-senpai was angry. She took a few steps back as Kirijo-senpai turned around. She looked down at her again with cold eyes, eyes that Yukari wished held that rare happy glow in them instead.
"Losing a father at that age is nothing like losing one at this age." Kirijo-senpai's said vehemently. Her voice was colder than usual.
It made Yukari shudder but she kept herself in line as she replied. "Yet it haunted me, more than you can imagine. I came here just to find the truth. I do understand how it is too lose a father because I still haven't completely healed from losing mine."
Yukari couldn't help but be a little upset with the way Kirijo-senpai was acting. Here she was, trying to make amends and Kirijo-senpai was being nothing but resentful. Though, when Yukari remembered how she had behaved towards Kirijo-senpai these past months, she thought that maybe she deserved some of the anger being directed towards her.
Kirijo-senpai looked completely lost in that moment. Yukari could see that she didn't mean to lash at her. Yukari took a step back and placed her arms behind her back. Absentmindedly, she wondered where Sanada-senpai was at the moment.
Kirijo-senpai spoke once more. "Takeba this whole argument is tiresome, I would just like to return to my bedroom and be alone. I have a lot of things to do tomorrow and I need to rest." Her voice was shaky, yet her tone neutral. Yukari could feel the exhaustion the girl was holding in.
Yukari looked up to realize they had been in front of Iwatodai Dormitory for a while now. Before she could form some sort of reply the other girl already made her way inside. Despite her own exhaustion, Yukari followed her. It was obvious once they stepped into the lounge that everyone had gone to bed. The first floor was deserted. Yukari felt her cheeks redden as she realized that she was alone with Kirijo-senpai. Yukari struggled against another wave of drowsiness and tried to keep her thoughts in check. She was just about to call it a night when she heard a small groan near the stairs. She turned around to see Kirijo-senpai holding one of her legs as she tried to get up from where she had fallen. Yukari chuckled a little at the scene, Kirijo-senpai looked like a child.
With a giggle, Yukari carefully walked over to the preoccupied girl and bent down, putting one of her hands on Kirijo-senpai's back and the other on her ribcage. Yukari ignored the blood that rushed to her cheeks and the electrical shock that went up and down her spine as she helped Kirijo-senpai back onto her feet.
"You know senpai…" She said, pointing at Kirijo-senpai's boots. "I think you should take those off before climbing up the rest of the stairs or else you might get hurt again."
She waited but there was no response, so Yukari was surprised by the sound of metal being unbuckled and leather being removed. Yukari turned towards Kirijo-senpai, shocked that she was actually taking her advice. Her brown eyes caught sight of exposed skin and her cheeks grew hotter. It wasn't the first time Yukari had seen Kirijo-senpai without her boots. But it was the first time that she had seen Kirijo-senpai without the usual power she held whenever she wore them.
"Is that better?" Kirijo-senpai's voice startled Yukari her out of her thoughts.
Yukari nodded. Kirijo-senpai looked surprisingly small without her boots. Yukari couldn't suppress the feelings of happiness at the idea of the older girl showing some normalcy. They made their way up to the third floor. This was the floor all the girls were assigned to and the location of the little cafe. Yukari knew that it was time to part with Kirijo-senpai but something possessed her as she took hold of the slightly taller girl's hand.
She then asked without thinking. "Senpai, do you really want to go into your room? Don't you think it will just cause you more pain…or cause you to have bad memories?"
Gods knows Yukari sometimes hates her own room. She has a lot of things that remind her of both her parents. Sometimes, she just wants to throw everything away and yet she can't until she knows the truth. Her heart was hammering. It was as if time stopped at that moment. She looked up in surprise when she felt Kirijo-senpai's grip tighten.
"Senpai—?" Yukari started. Kirijo-senpai cut her off before she can finish.
"Give me a moment to put these away and clear my thoughts. I'll come by your room shortly Takeba." Kirijo-senpai's voice was soft, making Yukari feel a little lightheaded and happy.
"OK, I'll leave the door unlocked so you can just come in." Yukari said as she gave Kirijo-senpai a small smile.
She let go of the other girl's hand and made her way quietly to her bedroom door. Once inside her own room she kicked off her shoes and pulled off her socks. She groaned as she let her back hit her bed. Suddenly, it hit Yukari that Kirijo-senpai would be there soon. She glanced around her room. It wasn't really messy but it wasn't clean either. She felt a surge of panic. She leapt out of her bed and quickly began to clean up the room. While picking up some of her clothing her eyes glanced at the clock. It reads 1:30 AM. Damn we were gone that long? Normally, she would be asleep at this hour. Not cleaning her room in anticipation of a guest. I'm seriously starting to become an insomniac because of that hour. She put the clothes away and turned when she heard the sound of her door being opened. She looked up to see the still dressed Kirijo Mitsuru standing in her doorway.
They stared at one another as Kirijo-senpai let herself in. Yukari felt her cheeks heat up again. Kirijo-senpai looked as if she was blushing as well. She must be embarrassed about coming in. Yukari thought. Yukari couldn't helped but be amused. Yukari walked over to Kirijo-senpai, whose arms were wrapped tightly around her chest, her eyes shining with uncertainty.
"You know you don't have to just stand there senpai. Come closer. I mean I don't bite…well not now at least," she said giving Kirijo-senpai a small smirk.
Yukari walked over to her bed and sat down. She crossed her legs and watched silently as Kirijo-senpai made her way over to her. No sound came out of either girls and Yukari started to get frustrated. She rubbed her neck nervously and sighed, falling backwards onto the bed. She closed her eyes and begged for anyone, even Io, to help her out here.
It was Kirijo-senpai who ended the silence. "I'm sorry for everything." Yukari heard her say.
The emotion in her voice made Yukari sit back up and look at Kirijo-senpai who was at the moment trying to look anywhere but Yukari.
Yukari sighed and asked. "What are you sorry for senpai?" She couldn't keep the curiosity out of her voice.
She found herself leaning towards Kirijo-senpai. She reached up, hesitating briefly, and placed her hand on Kirijo-senpai's cheek. Gently, she turned the other girl's head to face her. She felt a sharp pain in her chest when she saw the tears silently streaming down Kirijo-senpai's face.
Kirijo-senpai pulled away from Yukari."I'm sorry for ruining your life." She blurted, "for causing everyone so much pain. I let my blindness and trust for the Chairman cause all of this. I worked so hard to save my father, and yet I failed. All I wanted was my father to be ridden of my grandfather's mistake. Ever since that whole incident, my father looked nothing but dead inside. I wanted to do everything I could to take away this onus he was cursed upon, but instead I took his life." She sighed. "Now I'm trapped in this duty of becoming the next head of the Kirijo Group. My life has no meaning at this point…right?" Kirijo-senpai's eyes blazed with anger, as well as desperation. Yukari almost jumped when Kirijo-senpai growled and hit Yukari's sheet with a balled fist.
Yukari watched with wide eyes as Kirijo-senpai started to breakdown. She bit her lip as she leaned in again, this time grabbing both sides of the heiresses face, forcing her to look at her. Yukari didn't know what to do at this point. Kirijo-senpai was in a horrible state and she didn't know what to say to make her feel better. Feel better…with that in mind she did something that she had never even dared to dream about. With her heart pounding hard against her chest, Yukari leaned in and captured Kirijo-senpai's lips in a desperate attempt to make her feel better.
Once she met her lips, Yukari felt Kirijo-senpai go still. She let her lips stay there for a few seconds. When their was no response she felt herself growing scared and worried. Just as she was about to pull away, the older girl kissed back, pressing gently against Yukari's lips. Yukari gasped as she felt Kirijo-senpai's hands move from the sheets to her hips, instinctively pulling her closer.
She opened her eyes to see that Kirijo-senpai's eyes were now closed and was enjoying this. It was odd. She never thought Kirijo Mitsuru would actually do this kind of thing. Yet, as the kiss intensified and Yukari felt the older girl's long yet soft fingers traveling up her back, all her thoughts went out the window. She moaned into the kiss and pushed Kirijo-senpai gently onto her bed, straddling her and kissing her with more vigor. She pushed her tongue against Kirijo-senpai's lips and was almost immediately granted the access she desired. She moaned again as she felt her tongue brush against Kirijo-senpai's. It felt amazing and it made her want more.
Yukari soon found Kirijo-senpai's bright red bow and tugged at it swiftly, letting it unravel in her hand. She wanted to help make Kirijo-senpai and herself feel better. To forget all the terrible things that had happened. To forget all that made them suffer. She broke the kiss and started to make her way down the heiress's jaw. She unbuttoned the top buttons of the girl's blouse and kissed her way up Kirijo-senpai's collarbone until she met her neck. She sucked at it gently before taking a little nip, accidentally making her mark.
She heard the other girl moan, making Yukari even more determined to rid them of their clothing. Kirijo-senpai followed suit. Her fingers found their way to Yukari's own red bow before pulling it off. Next, she reached for the zipper of Yukari's sweater. Yukari let out a happy sigh as she heard the zipper being pulled gently and felt the buttons at the top of her shirt being undone.
"Senpai" Yukari moaned. She arched against Kirijo-senpai who was now dusting her neck with kisses and sending ripples of pleasure coursing through her.
By then, both her sweater and blouse were on the floor. She met Kirijo-senpai's lustful eyes before wrapping her arms around Kirijo-senpai's neck and pulling her down to her.
Yukari reluctantly broke the kiss to remove Kirijo-senpai's blouse, followed by her crisp white bra, releasing the Kirijo heiress's alluring and perfect chest. Yukari blushed a little as she looked at the round white breasts. She looked at Kirijo-senpai in a silent plea for permission. Kirijo-senpai gave her a quick nod and Yukari's hand grasped one pale breast. It was unbelievably soft under her hand. She squeezed it experimentally and was rewarded with a moan from Kirijo-senpai.
Yukari couldn't help but grin devilishly as she leaned against the other girl, whispering huskily."Does it feel good senpai?"
Her other hand was traveling up the girl's thigh, the fingers teasingly brushing against the warm skin. She heard a quiet gasp as she pressed gently against Kirijo-senpai's inner thigh.
"Take…ba," Kirijo-senpai gasped. Yukari smirked into her neck. She had always been a little fascinated with the human neck. It was one of the most sensitive areas of the body.
She lavished Kirijo-senpai's neck with kisses and whispered. "Do you want me to go higher?"
"Please…," Kirijo-senpai replied, husky and low.
Yukari felt a jolt of excitement. She pulled away from Kirijo-senpai and removed the rest of her own clothes, except for her underwear. Kirijo-senpai's wanting eyes never left her face. The heat between Yukari's legs was becoming unbearable. She slipped off Kirijo-senpai's skirt and tossed it to the floor before moving up to capture Kirijo-senpai's lips once more. Her hand made its way towards Kirijo-senpai's center. Yukari took a deep breath before letting her fingers stroke gently up along Kirijo-senpai's covered core. The area was damp, letting Yukari know the other girl was just as excited. Yukari looked up to see Kirijo-senpai's cheeks were flushed, her breathing heavy. At that moment, she was the most beautiful person that Yukari had ever seen.
"Takeba" Kirijo-senpai whispered as she looked at Yukari with need.
Yukari frowned. "Yukari…" She found herself saying suddenly. "You call me by my given name or we stop."
The assertiveness in her voice made the other girl's eyes widen and, if possible Kirijo-senpai blushed harder. Yukari watched as Kirijo-senpai—or was she Mitsuru now?—opened her mouth and whispered her name. She leaned in and placed a quick kiss on Mitsuru's cheek before pulling her underwear off. Yukari threw the panties over her shoulder. Gently, she trailed a hand through Mitsuru's thick red hair. It was now or never. She bit her lip as she slowly slipped one finger inside Mitsuru. Unbeknownst to her and the girl below her, everything had changed.
Please I would really like your advice. I want to make this fic as good as I can. And besides there has not been any complete Yukari x Mitsuru in ages. So please review and thank you for reading this.
Also I would also like to inform that there will be two more couples, one which will need votes. The first one will be Chidori x Junpei and the second would be either Minato x Aigis or Minato x Ryoji. I will reveal the winning paring in the third chapter but I'm leaning towards Aigis.
Most of this stories POV's will be Yukari's (like this chapter) Mitsuru's (which will be next chapter) and Minato's (to give another view at the developing relationship.)
Until next chapter~ MikiSayaka.
