CHAPTER 2: Snack Time
BOOM! CRASHCRASHCRASH SCREEEECH HOWWWWWL…
"Hey, that was my kill! Stop poaching!"
"As if I need your points! Why don't you just leave me to play by myself, I'd clear these levels so much faster if you weren't dragging me down!"
"As if!"
The two teenager sat on the floor in front of the television, their thumbs a blur as they slaughtered zombies at an incredible speed.
"Nearly at the boss fight! Don't get in my way, Nakahara!"
"Same to you!" The dark girl cried, her controller beginning to smoke as she redoubled her efforts.
"THERE!" They cried in unison as the last minion fell.
Suddenly their controllers shook, and an enormous foot appeared on screen.
"Wah! That thing is huge!"
"And look how many hit points it has!"
Together they began firing at the boss zombie, a disgusting amalgamation of rotted bodies.
"He's regenerating!" Cried Kyouhei in a panic. "The only way to do enough damage before he regens is to attack the eyes, while someone waits to cut his legs out. But whoever goes for the face will be eaten for sure!"
"Damn, I'm almost out of potions-watch out!" Sunako cried as the boss slammed his meaty fist inches from Kyouhei's avatar.
"Thanks. Here, I have a couple extra." Replied Kyouhei, transferring two health potions to Sunako's character.
"Thanks."
The two teenagers battles it out for several more minutes, sweat dripping off their brows, their tongue s between their teeth, until, finally;
"I'm done. I'm out of potions again. There's no way I'll make it."
"Don't say that!" Cried Kyouhei. "Just stay at the edge of the fight!"
"There's no way you can survive without me that long! There's only one way out of this, and you know it!"
Kyouhei bit his lip while fending off a major offensive from the king zombie. "You sure?" Sunako nodded firmly. "On three then." Looking sad but determined Kyouhei began to count down.
"Three. Two. One."
"Kyaaaaaaaaahhh!" Sunako cried, her character gaining speed in a sprint towards the demon. In life her eyes glowed red, her aura flaming with determination. Her fingers moving in a blur she punched out a combination, her avatar flying up through the air to deliver a devastating blow to the eyes of the boss zombie. A white glow lit the screen and for a moment both teenagers watched in awe as its life bar began to drain before their eyes. But then, inevitably, it's huge hand swung up, and Sunako's character went flying. Her health, already so diminished, drained to zero just as Kyouhei delivered the final blow to the knees of the creature.
"VICTORY"
Said the game.
They both fell back panting, watching the replays as they regained their strength.
"You did it… thank god…" moaned a skeletal Sunako dramatically from the floor.
"'Twas only… thanks to your bravery…" Choked Kyouhei, a tear running down his cheek.
The distant sound of drilling and shouting snapped them out of their fantasy.
"Well, I'm off to have a shower. Pool water makes my hair like straw."
"Uhuh."
Sunako and Kyouhei stood at the same time, but somehow they had become tangled in the wires from the game consol. Struggling to stay upright and not break anything the pair of them were attempting to get free when Kyouhei's foot caught on Sunako's makeshift robe as she tripped, tearing it off. Sunako fell onto Kyouhei with a gasp and they both went down in a tangle of wires and towels.
"Ow-ow-ow! Geez, why'd you have to do that? If you've broken something I'm not paying for it." Grumbled Kyouhei through the towel that had fallen on his head.
"Me? It's you're fault. You-"
"What?" Kyouhei frowned at Sunako's sudden silence and finally struggled free of the blinding fabric.
Sunako straddled him where she fell, a twist of cable still around her ankle. His arm was wrapped protectively around her waist, her hands resting on his bare chest. But Kyouhei was more concerned with what Sunako was wearing; a deep violet bikini with a crossed neck made her milky cleavage impossible to ignore. The matching bottoms were somewhat obscured by the sheer wrap skirt knotted at her hip that tickled his thighs. Other than these pieces she was naked.
For a long moment the teenagers stared at each other, the sheer amount of bare skin between them holding them frozen.
Then, with bloodcurdling scream, Sunako threw herself off him into a forward roll, coming up in her best fighting stance. Her eyes were completely white, and twin trickles of blood dripped onto the floor from her nose.
"HOW DARE YOU VIOLATE ME IN THIS WAY, DAZZLING CREATURE!?"
"Wow, is this stuff really all Oba-san packed you? No wonder you're pissed."
"DON'T THINK IGNORING MY CHALLENGE WILL SAVE YOU, BRIGHT ONE! I SHALL KILL YOU FOR YOUR TRESPASS!"
"Trespass? I didn't do anything! You just fell!"
"YOU SHOULDN'T BE HALF NAKED IN THE FIRST PLACE!"
"What's that got to do with anything?! You're just-"
What promised to be an epic battle was suddenly interrupted by a loud knocking coming from near the door.
"Oi! Are there people in there?"
"Ye-"
"YES! GET ME OUT OF HERE! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!"
"How many of you are there? Are their any injuries?"
"No sir! There are two of us in here! Nakahara Sunako and Takano Kyouhei!" Called Kyouhei through the door.
"Well, I have some bad news. It could be a little time before we can get you out. We have to reinforce the wall before we knock the door down or else more will collapse!"
"WHAT?! I absolutely refuse! I'd much rather be buried in rubble than stuck here with you! Crushed to death by hundreds of tonnes of rock...ah! I can't wait!"
"Shut up you. How long will it be?"
"A couple hours at most!"
"WHAT?! But there's no food in here! I'M STARVING!"
"Just hang in there!"
The two teenagers turned to face one another in horror, but their desperate stares were interrupted by Kyouhei's stomach growling. Sunako's immediately answered with a rumble of her own.
"Come on. There have got to be some snacks in here somewhere." Said the blonde bishonen.
They had searched but a short time when Sunako's nose began to twitch.
"Chocolate….." she moaned. Sniffing about Sunako followed her nose, getting closer and closer to the smell, until-
BUMP. She smacked into Kyouhei's back. Bouncing off she cried.
"You've found some haven't you? GIVE IT TO ME!"
Slowly, Kyouhei turned around.
The chocolate, which had already been soft from the summer heat, had melted all over his hands and stained his mouth. He had somehow even managed to smear some of it on his bare chest.
"You ATE IT? YOU-you…" Suddenly Sunako became less aware of the chocolate-or lack thereof-and more aware of the handsome, chocolate-stained youth smirking at her.
"Too slow!"
Though his words enraged her, Sunako felt her pulse speed up and immediately spun around and pinched her nose. Thankfully this also prevented her from detecting the tormenting smell of chocolate that she could never have.
But Kyouhei had other ideas. Grinning he jumped in front of her and waved his chocolatey fingers in her face.
"Come on. I've left you some! It's right here!"
Sunako's eye twitched. He was radiant, but also incredibly annoying. How could she let him get away with that? Letting go of her nose Sunako lept for his wrist, but he held it high above her where she couldn't reach. Her anger and hunger firing her up Sunako stretched and jumped and just managed to catch his wrist when a loud drilling sound started up outside, making them both jump and stare at the door. With a sigh they turned back to each other-only to realize what a compromising position they were now in. Sunako was on tip toe, one hand stretching above her to grasp Kyouhei's corded forearm, the other squeezing his bicep for balance. This position caused the entire length of her body to be pressed against his; her breasts were crushed to his chest, his thigh between her legs. To make things worse they were both still dressed in their bathing suits. Sunako could feel Kyouhei's skin making direct contact with her body in about 1000 places.
Her breath, already heavy, became wild, and her heart sped up, making her face flush and vision redden. She felt a family tingling in her nose, and then
Whack.
Kyouhei had slapped his hand across her face, covering her eyes and nose at once, as well as the rest of her face (his hands are very large).
Sunako turned to stone.
"Quick! Think of Freddy and Jason! Pretend I'm a serial killer! Thaaat's right, I'm juuuust a slasher…" Kyouhei said as reassuringly as he could when he was so close to death.
Growl.
Sunako's stomach. Kyouhei blinked. Looking down at the girl hanging from him he realised she was no longer turned to stone. Instead she was sniffing. Sniffing his hand, where it covered her face. Feeling a twinge of guilt for stealing the only food Kyouhei began to remove his hand when Sunako released her death grip on his arms and grabbed his wrist. He saw her violet eyes sparkle as she drew his hand away, her eyes intent upon it.
"Choooocolaaaaaaaate…!" She moaned, but having forgotten to morph into chibi form this lost some of the scary effect she had intended and-surely not. Did she just cross over into sexy for a moment? Surely not…
Sunako's tummy rumbled again and her nostrils flared. The pink tip of her tongue came out to swipe her bottom lip and Kyouhei was reminded once again of her closeness and state of undress.
With a tormented moan Sunako screwed her eyes shut, the fingers on Kyouhei's wrist digging in painfully. For a long moment she wavered-Kyouhei froze so as not to panic her-and then, with a tortured sigh, Sunako licked. She wasn't dainty; her tongue was firm and purposeful against Kyouhei's fingers, slipping in between a little, scorching his hand. Kyouhei gasped aloud at the exact same moment Sunako did. Her eyes wide and shining, sparkles glimmering in the radiant air around her, Sunako sighed. "Ahh. Chocolate...y." With a swift glance up at his face Sunako closed her eyes again and swept back in with determination. Quickly she swiped at his fingers, her tongue slipping hotly around and along. His hand was now thoroughly wet from her ministrations, but he didn't care. All of his brain power was devoted to the sight of a scantily clad Sunako licking him clean. Kyouhei felt his heart rate increase and his face flush. Worse, his could feel a twinge of response in his swimming trunks. The wet noises she was making ever so faintly and her occasional sighs weren't helping in the slightest. Too afraid to move lest he lose his life (or worse), Kyouhei squeezed his eyes shut. But then the tickling of her tongue across his nerve endings became the greater torture. He licked his lips and started when the flavour of chocolate flooded his mouth. Was this what she was tasting…?
Tch. That's enough, Kyouhei, he thought to himself. Just punch that Creature of the Dark and go and wash your hands.
But just as he opened his eyes to push her away, Sunako did it.
Just what he had feared she would do.
While hastily gobbling the chocolate bar he'd found Kyouhei's thumb had caught the brunt of the drips, until it had become almost coated. Sunako had realized this and was going about getting that chocolate for herself in the most expedient manner available to her: by taking the whole digit in her mouth and sucking.
"Su-!"
CRASH!
"Oooiii! Are you two still okay in there?"
