A/N: I just finished watching Kill la kill a while back and I absolutely loved it.

Unfortunately that caused this and now I have another new story among the other tons of stories I'm working on.

Anyway, this is going to be four chapters long, each chapter is inspired by a song by the indie rock band the Pixies. But over all the main theme is the song Where is my mind you know, that song from Fight club. Great movie, great song

Warnings: BDSM themes so there's a heads up on that.

Apologies spelling grammar and OOCness

Disclaimer: I do not own Kill la kill or any of its characters.

She smiled.

Ira's head gave a tilt of curiosity as he watched lady Satsuki out on the crowded dance floor. Although her movements were awkward to say the least, she was still happier than he's sure he's seen her since they met.

The war is finally over. The life fibres had all disappeared and the tension between those of Honouji academy and the agents at Nudist beach had all but completely dissolved.

Since there really wasn't a need for the students to train anymore and she wanted to spend some time to really get to know her sister, lady Satsuki called summer break for the first time in Honouji academy history.

Of course Honouji wasn't closing down any time soon. In fact, Lady Satsuki plans on opening more academy's all across the country before spreading further right across the world.

Ryuko told them about Ragyo's warning after all. As psychotic as the woman was, they can't take a threat like that lightly. If the life fibres should return, this time they'll be more than ready. But lady Satsuki still thought that her troops deserved a reward for all their hard work.

So tonight, was Honouji academy's very first summer festival dance.

"Hey Matoi, looks like you got ditched."

Gamagori turned his head to the side from his seat, to find Sanagayema leaning back against the bar with a smug smirk directed at the raven haired girl beside him. "Your girl moves fast."

Ryuko just rolled her eyes in return.

"Shut up, monkey boy. At least I had a date." Sanagayema gave a scoff and Ira couldn't help but let out a small smile as he looked back at the two on the dance floor.

One was still Lady Satsuki still looking awkward, but happy nonetheless and the other was Mako Mankanshoku. The hyper girl was bouncing along to the beat of the music and waving her hands in the air while Satsuki tried to keep up.

Mako decided to drag the student council president out onto the dance floor since sitting on the side at her own party really wouldn't do at all.

Mako turned back, giving a bright smile to the three sitting by the bar before she bounced back into the rhythm and Satsuki chuckled when the girl almost stumbled over her her own feet. The student council president grabbed her arm so Mako wouldn't go crashing to the ground. Mako gave Satsuki a grateful smile before jumping right back into the beat.

Ryuko smiled, "Little psycho."

Agreed.

Ira felt his lips twitch up in a smile as he watched the two on the dance floor.

She's certainly an odd one, but Gamagori admired her loyalty and strong will. The girl was never afraid to speak her mind and she seemed to be quite brave as well. Of course Mankanshoku would never just needlessly jump into a fight if she could avoid it. No she certainly wasn't stupid enough for that, but she definitely shows a strong sense of courage whenever it was necessary.

The girl is wise beyond her years, unfortunately she was also more than just a little odd so very few people saw her wisdom.

Mako is a lovely girl.

She'd be perfect to take home to his parents, he's always thought so.

Ira's cheeks began to warm as he briefly looked away towards the other dancers in the crowd.

He's developed a bit of a crush on the girl, I mean, he does admire her quite a bit after all. She's the first girl that Ira has actually noticed in more than five years. Before he was always just to busy serving lady Satsuki and helping her fulfil her ambitions, there never seemed to be any time to notice anyone as anything more than a potential soldier that could be useful in their cause.

But he noticed Mako, for the first time in years he actually saw someone outside of the elite four as an individual. Someone he might actually like on the merit of personality alone.

That much was actually quite a relief for him.

He used to worry about it quite a bit since he hasn't noticed anyone in a romantic way since five years ago. Sometimes he'd think that there might be something wrong with him, since the rest of the elite four had many romantic flings over the short amount of time that he's known them.

Sanagayema always seemed to have some girl running after him every other week. Jakuzure would often whine and complain in his ear whenever one of her admirers seemed to be ignoring her for some baffling reason and even Inumuta had a few fan girls that he'd indulge in or sometimes Iori on occasion.

Lady Satsuki never really seemed to have any romantic interests but Ira knew that she already had enough on her plate to deal with without taking part in such frivolities.

For a while Gamagori assumed that he was the same. That he was just too busy for any such nonsense and couldn't be bothered to waste his time in such a way.

But there was a small part of him that knew the truth. It was that tiny part in the back of his head that he refused to acknowledge in any way whatsoever. The part that told Gamagori that the real reason he didn't show any interest in anyone is because he still hasn't gotten over 'him'.

Ira ignored that voice as much as he could. He'd lock it away in the deepest recesses of his mind and pretend like it didn't exist because it wasn't true.

It's been years after all, he was fifteen years old when it first happened and...

It doesn't matter. It's all in the past now and Ira needs to look towards the future.

Even if he's come back, Ira wouldn't allow himself to dwell on passed mistakes from his youth. Because things are different now, he isn't the same person he used to be.

He's stronger, more confident.

Ira Gamagori is no longer weak and he doesn't submit, he's a man now. He's not the way he used to be.

It's right in the middle of these thoughts that the music changed and Ira felt his heart skip a beat when he realised which song it was.

The people on the dance floor slowed just as the beat did and some of them even moved off in pairs to sway softly against the music. The blonde took a deep breath and grabbed the glass of sake beside him on the bar to try and calm his nerves.

It's just a song, but it's a song he hasn't heard in years. Hearing it after such a long time made memories rush to the front of his mind that he really didn't want to remember at that moment.

Instead Gamagori decided to focus on other things. On Mankanshoku and lady Satsuki on the dance floor. On Jakuzure and her newest admirer flirting at a table in one corner of the room and-

"Where are you going?"

Gamagori looked up to see Sanagayema stretch his arms up above his head and let out a long yawn just before he gave the raven haired girl a smirk and said.

"I'm bored so I figured I might as well get up and dance," the green haired teen paused and arched an eyebrow at the girl, "Why, you wanna come with me?"

Ryuko gave a scoff, "I think I'd rather be bored."

"What's wrong Matoi? Ya scared?" Sanagayema challenged as he gave a shrug, "It's alright, I mean, I know how intimidating it must seem to dance with someone as strong and handsome as I am."

Ryuko's head cocked to the side, "Wow. Doesn't it hurt your back kissing your own ass like that?"

"Nope." Sanagayema smirked and Ryuko rolled her eyes, "So what'cha say?"

Ryuko gave an exasperated sigh, "Whatever, I promised Mako I wouldn't sit around all night anyway."

Ryuko set her drink down on the bar and Sanagayema grinned, "You know, you could just admit that you like spending time with me. It's O.K, you wouldn't be the first."

Ryuko scoffed, "In your dreams monkey boy, I already have a girlfriend, remember? You're the one who should be grateful I'm even considering it."

Sanagayema rolled his eyes while Ryuko hopped of her seat and grabbed his arm, making the green haired man blink in surprise while a light blush coloured his cheeks.

"Let's just get this over with."

"Uh... Yeah, right."

Gamagori watched Matoi drag Sanagayema out to the dance floor all while the taller teen started blushing up to his ears and gave a snort.

And they say he's got it bad.

With the way those two are always bickering you'd swear that they were married.

Gamagori smiled despite himself as he watched his comrades all around him when a voice suddenly spoke up beside him, making the blonde freeze when he realised who it belonged to.

"Good song."

Ira took a deep breath trying to seem as calm as possible even as his heart started thumping loudly in his chest. He turned his head to the side and found Tsumugu Kinagase sitting on the stool next to him. The nudist beach agent was leaning back with an elbow braced against the bar while his other hand held a lit cigarette loosely between it's fingers.

A long stream of smoke left the older man's mouth as he glanced up at the blonde and smirked, "Brings back memories huh?"

Gamagori started to flush, both at the comment and the appearance of the man beside him. During the war with the life fibres, Ira was always too busy with the rebellion to really notice Tsumugu much and before then the man was always just dressed in his uniform but right now he looked almost normal.

He wore a plain white shirt and black jeans, leather jacket and heavy black boots. With the exception of his mohawk he looked about the same way that he did back when they were younger.

When they were next-door neighbours, Gamagori's was in highschool and his father despised Tsumugu. When Ira used to have breakfast at the Kinagase house after he stayed the night, almost every friday night.

When Kinue was still alive.

Gamagori looked away at that thought and fought back against the urge to sigh. Yes, this song does bring back a memories.

"Too many memories."

The blonde was too lost in thought to notice that he'd actually spoken but Tsumugu did he watched the blonde beside him for a moment before taking another drag from his cigarette.

"Kinue, used to love this song. I didn't really think much of it back then." Tsumugu started as he stared up at the sky, "I guess it's kinda grown on me now, but that's probably your fault, huh?"

Gamagori flushed and looked back at Tsumugu to glare at him while the man just smirked, "Did I ever tell you that she threatened to kill me when she found out?"

The blonde blinked in surprise, "What?"

"Yeah, she said she'd kill me in my sleep if I ever hurt you. She's always liked you better, I think she wanted you to herself but then she realised she couldn't give you what you needed."

Gamagori didn't say anything to that. What could he say?

Kinue was wonderful, Mako Mankanshoku reminded him of her quite a bit only unlike Mankanshoku, Kinue was a little more reckless.

But still, Tsumugu is right about one thing. She couldn't give him what he needed back then. Kinue was so kind hearted and pure, honestly Ira would have been horrified if she could be what he needed back then.

"I saw the first one. You know, the goku uniform you had that Matoi trashed in your fight." Tsumugu started as he leaned back against the bar a little more, "The scientists at Nudist beach couldn't understand why you'd want a design like that, but I wasn't surprised. I knew you'd find some way to scratch that itch."

The blonde glared at the man beside him even as he continued to flush with embarrassment. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Yes you do. With the life fibres gone, I'm just wondering how your dealing with things since you don't have your shackle regalia." Tsumugu smirked as he slowly slid off his seat and went to stand right next to Gamagori as he leaned down to whisper in his ear, coming so close that the scent of cigarettes and motor oil almost seemed to overwhelm him. "Still itching, Ira?"

The blonde wanted to growl at the insult but it was so hard since Tsumugu was hovering right over him right at that moment, he moved so he had an arm braced on either side of Gamagori's head while that smirk stayed in place.

In that position the crowd around them almost seemed to disappear and he felt trapped in Tsumugu's unyielding stare.

His heart was pounding furiously in his chest and Ira had to fight to keep his breathing steady. But it was hard.

Despite his size, Tsumugu's probably the only person on this earth who could make him feel this vulnerable and exposed. The same way he did all those years ago.

The blonde let out a sharp gasp and a hiss when he suddenly felt a sharp burn against his arm prompting him to look up and see Tsumugu snuff out his cigarette right there on his wrist.

To anyone else that would have been extremely painful, but then again Gamagori isn't like everyone else is he?

As the cancer stick burned into his skin the blonde had to bite his lip and shut his eyes tight in an effort to stop the moan that threatened to leave his throat until the pressure from the cigarette stopped and he let out a heavy sigh.

Tsumugu chuckled.

"You haven't changed a bit, have you? I bet you're aching for it, right now." He said leaning in a bit more, making the blonde feel even more trapped than before, despite the fact that he was more than capable of getting Tsumugu off of him. Ira stayed perfectly still as Tsumugu whispered, "I can help you scratch that itch if you want."

Gamagori swallowed hard, "I-"

No, his answer should be no.

He isn't the same person he used to be back then. He's not vulnerable anymore and he's not weak. Ira Gamagori does not kneel or submit. He's changed.

He's different now, right?

Tsumugu's hands slid down from the bar with one hand resting on Ira's waist while the other lingered around his neck. Periodically applying a light pressure to his throat before easing again.

"Well, Gamagori, do you want some help?"

"No-ah." A quiet gasp left his throat when the hand on his waist slid in between his thighs and before he knew it, Gamagori nodded his head.

"Yes."

Tsumugu smirked as he pulled away completely and the blonde let out a deep breath when his arm was grabbed and he was yanked off his seat.

"Wait, where are we going?"

"You'll see."

And right then, just as Tsumugu pulled him towards the exit he looked back and caught sight of lady Satsuki.

She wasn't smiling anymore.

Instead her eyes were filled with shock and Ira saw what he's sure was his mistresses first ever blush. Mankanshoku stood on her toes, with her hands on the taller girl's shoulders as she pressed a kiss on Satsuki's cheek.

A/N: if its not obvious yet, then yeah Gamagori is going to be the submissive in this.

Don't ask me why, cause if you've seen kill la kill then you know exactly why he's the submissive.

Anyway next chapter is going to go from the time Gamagori first met Kinue and Tsumugu and some of the stuff that happened when they were younger.

For now
