The last thing Chikaru Minamoto needed will trying to read was to have an old stuffed bear shoved right into face...yet here it was. Even worse, it carried the faint stench of sushi on it.
"Chikaru-onee-sama...Percival says he wants a kiss!" Kagome Byakudan exclaimed with a stern expression on her cute little face. Chikaru sighed; there was no way she was going to put her lips on that mangy old doll. However, it didn't seem like Kagome would leave her alone until she did as requested.
Forcing a tiny grin, the black-haired girl said, "Um, Kagome-chan, I'm kind of busy right now, so why don't we play later, okay?"
Kagome shook her head. "No! Percival says his life force will run out if it is not recharged by a kiss from the beautiful Lilum Queen Chikaru-onee-sama!!!"
'...What the hell is Percival telling her?' Chikaru wondered.
"Please, Chikaru-onee-sama! I don't want Percival to die! He's my first true friend!! Please save him with your delicious, plump lips of love!!!!" Kagome pleaded with tears in her eyes.
Chikaru thought about it. "...No."
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"NO!!!"
"If you don't, I'll cry!!!!"
Chikaru winced. 'Ugh...I guess I don't have a choice, then...'
Sighing, Chikaru took in a deep breath, and leaned in as she placed a tiny kiss upon Percival's nose. Kagome giggled happily.
"There! You happy now?" Chikaru asked as she wiped her mouth on her sleeve.
Kagome thought for a moment, and then said, "...Percival says he wants you to give me a kiss, too!"
"WHAT?!!"'
Kagome puckered her lips and closed her eyes. "Percival won't be happy until I get a kiss on the lips, too!!"
'...You know, maybe this might be a kiss I'll actually enjoy...' Chikaru figured. "Okay, I'll do it...but that's it, okay?!"
"Yay! You're so great, Chikaru-onee-sama!!!"
The surrounding heat seemed to rise by several degrees as Chikaru gently placed her palms upon Kagome's cheeks. A light blush formed on both Chikaru's and Kagome's cheeks. Slowly, their lips drew closer and closer to one another...a shiver crawled up and down along Kagome's spine...Chikaru's heart skipped a beat...the tips of their lips touched...and then...
Remon Natsume couldn't help but grin when she and Kizuna Hyuuga suddenly entered the room. "Wow, I never knew you were into little girls, Chikaru-onee-sama...!!" The other two girls quickly broke away from one another.
"Percival is the one who wanted her to do it!" Kagome spoke up. Her cheeks were still glowing with embarrassment.
Chikaru just sat here without words, her face pale and her eyes devoid of expression. She had never felt so humiliated in her entire life...more so about having kissed the bear than anything else.
