"Y-Yes" Tomoko said exasperatedly, carefully holding her cellphone as she lay on her bed.
"Yes, yes, Yuu-chan, I'm fine," Tomoko groaned. "School? Well it's been better..."
"Y-You wanna come and visit? But Yuu-chan, it's a Saturday and you don't live that close..." Tomoko knew how redundant that sounded, but she honestly didn't feel like seeing Yuu today. Comparing her relaxing silence to the whole Imae fiasco that happened a day prior, Tomoko just didn't want to do anything today.
"Ooh fine," Tomoko moaned in the reciever. "I-I do not sound like a baby!"
"Okay, see you then." Looks like there was no escaping it. Yuu was coming, whether Tomoko wanted her to or not.
Tomoko flopped on her bed. She was tired. Imae had spent most of the time trying to coax conversation out of her, and made their journey suspiciously longer, but she had kept quiet.
"That's because I won't let that bitch know everything about me. I am awesome after all and a little mystery always keeps 'em coming," Tomoko convinced herself, laughing all the more when she was sure that was the reason.
She soon sighed forlornly. Who was she kidding? Imae had approach completely out of the blue, so randomly that it left her bewildered.
"Maybe, she likes...?"
Nah, the bitch must have had a motive.
Tomoko's mind started working aimlessly, putting her in a park with Megumi; the sky was clear and they both occupied swings. Tomoko looked much more beautiful while Megumi remained the same.
"Tomoko-chan..?" Megumi said dreamily.
"Hmm?" Tomoko hummed, confirming her awareness to Megumi's call.
"I never met someone like you. You're loved by everybody! All the guys wanna bang you and the girls wanna be like you! How do you do it, Tomoko-chan?!"
"Simple," Tomoko waved dismissively, "I'm hot."
"Awww," Megumi whined, "I wanna be just like you! Who do I have to sleep with? Tomoki-kun?"
"Well... Wait, what!?"
"That's it!" Megumi exclaimed, smacking her hands together as a means of asserting her hypothesis, "I must sleep with Tomoki-kun! Only then can I become like you!"
The scene soon changed. Tomoko found herself outside her brother's room. She could clearly hear what was going on inside.
"Ooooh Tomoki-kun!" Megumi shouted.
"That's it, baby. Scream my name!" Tomoki joined her.
"Now that I have you, I don't need your loser sister!"
"That was the plan, wasn't it?"
"Shut up and keep making me a woman!"
As fantasy soon turned to reality, Tomoko was reeling from the daydream. She rushed out of her room and raced to her brother's. She opened the door, banging it with the force of her push. Her frantic eyes searched the room for any evidence of her brother doing the nasty with her class rep.
"What the hell!?" Tomoki screeched, desperately trying to hide some hentai manga under his pillow.
"Phew!" Tomoko breathed. "And here I thought you were busy screwing someone."
"Get out!" Tomoki ordered, embarrassed with the pospect of being discovered as growing boy.
However, Tomoko had failed to notice any of his 'hobbies' and walked into the room undeterred.
"Otouto, we need to talk."
"Get out."
"I've hit a bit of a snag."
"Get out."
"There's this girl at school. She's popular but I don't think she's all that. For some reason, she came to me and started hanging out with me. I didn't even ask, she just started talking to me out of nowhere..."
"... Get out?"
"Look, I know that I look like I have everything figured out in my life," Tomoki had to stifle a 'Yeah right' at that, "but I'm not sure what to do here. I don't think she wants to be my friend; I think she has ulterior motives."
"If I give you advice, then will you leave?" Tomoki grumbled, not at all happy with spending time with his weird sister.
"You're not giving me advice, just your opinion," Tomoko corrected arrogantly, failing to see the error of what she just said.
Tomoki had half a mind to throw her out of his window. 'Keep calm,' he told himself. Just get rid of her and everything would be fine.
"My opinion, would be that the girl likes you and wants to be friends. Now get out." If only he hadn't hurriedly explained what he thought of his sister's predicament, maybe she would have been out of his hair much sooner.
"Hmm. Maybe you're right."
Please, oh please, just get out already.
"Kuroki-san!"
"What?" Tomoko and Tomoki said in unison. They soon realised that neither of them called their last name.
"Kuroki-san!"
"It's coming from outside..."
Tomoko approached her brother's window. The moment she peered through, it was too late.
"Aha! There you are! Hey!" Megumi waved energetically.
Tomoko's eyes bulged and she swiftly hid on the side of the window.
"What are you doing?" Tomoki queried irritably.
'Crap, crap, crap!' Tomoko thought. What on Earth was Megumi doing here, on a weekend?!
"What's wrong with her?!" Tomoko blurted out.
"What? Is it that girl-"
"Shh!" Tomoko hissed, evidently thinking that keeping quiet would somehow chase all the bad stuff away.
Tomoki rolled his eyes. What would 'Shh' do? It was already too late.
"Kuroki-san? Kuroki-san! I saw you in that window!"
This was bad! Sooner or later, Megumi would cause a scene, and her mother wouldn't like that at all.
"Get rid of her!" Tomoko ordered her brother.
Tomoki sputtered, surprised with his sister's nervousness. She was always random, but her erratic behaviour was kind of frightening.
"Me!" He hissed back, "She's your problem!"
"Kuroki-san!" That, was definitely a whine.
"Excuse me, but can I help you?"
Tomoko knew that voice quite clearly.
Oh, crap.
"Oh! I'm so sorry. I wasn't sure if anyone could hear me."
"We have a front door..."
"Oops! Silly me! I'm out here screaming my head off and I could have just knocked!"
"... Anyway, are you looking for Tomoko? You're wearing the same uniform...on a Saturday."
"Yes! I had weekend duties but I was able to finish quickly. I came here just for her."
"Oh, okay. Well, I'm her mother."
"It's nice to meet you; my name is Imae Megumi."
"Well, step inside. No reason to cause a scene."
"Thanks and sorry again!"
Tomoko raced out of her brother's room.
Tomoki sighed and proceeded to lock the door. Once he was sure to be alone, he took out his hentai stash.
'Oh my God! She's in my house!' Tomoko's mind blared at her.
She was running to her room. On a normal day, it would be just a few steps away. Today however, it was miles from her.
She needed to get there, to sanctuary.
"Tomoko!" Her mother called.
Tomoko froze. Her dwindling chance just went up in smoke. She had no choice now. She had to see Imae.
Her legs were like lead. She felt like she was sinking in quicksand. Every step she took down the stairs felt like her last.
When she reached the ground floor, she immediately saw Megumi's piercing yet friendly eyes.
"What took you so long? She had been calling you more than once. Honestly, Tomoko, that's not how you treat your friends," her mother scolded.
"I-It's okay!" Megum hastily cut in. "I'm sure she was busy with something, right, Kuroki-san?"
"Mh-hn-mh!"
Her mother blinked at Tomoko. "What?"
Megumi was quicker to action. She quickly approached Tomoko and gently guided the girl upstairs. "It's okay... uh... Kuroki-san. I'll talk a little bit with Tomoko-chan."
The mother shrugged.
Tomoko was stiff as a board. Megumi's hand was still on her shoulder. It was so gentle and soft...
Did she just call her Tomoko-chan?
"Which one is your room?" Megumi questioned.
Knocked out of her stupor, Tomoko could only point out the room's position.
"Right, let's go." Megumi said.
They went into the room. It was spotless and tidy. Nothing seemed out of place.
'Nice and clean,' Megumi mentally praised. She proceeded to giggle. Who knew that her lover would be so compatible?
"I-Imae-senpai?" Tomoko forced out. She was still figuring out what the hell just happened. One moment, she was talking to Yuu; the next, she had Megumi in her room.
Her room.
With all her materials.
...
Oh, no.
"Yes, Tomoko-chan?"
Tomoko looked around her. Okay, everything seemed well-hidden.
"W-Why... um... a-are y-you here?"
Megumi lifted a bag that Tomoko had yet to notice. "I was kind of in rush to get here, so I didn't dress properly."
She rushed to get here? Tomoko did not know what that meant.
"Can I dress first? I'll explain things after."
Tomoko was confused and a little irritated by that, but nodded and pointed to her bathroom. "T-The b-"
Megum took off her shirt and skirt right then and there.
Tomoko's mind stopped as she stared at a semi-nude Megumi. Her body was so delicate and feminine. Any guy would be lucky to score that. Then her mind caught up to her.
Megumi was undressing right in front of her!
Tomoko's breathing laboured. She started for the door, but a firm hand grabbed her elbow.
Megumi had been prepared for that reaction. Her plan was not easy. She had to get Tomoko to be comfortable around her - as well as display everything she's willing to offer - the hard way.
It was a bit perverted, she would concede, but damnit, she couldn't wait anymore for her chance! This was her first love and she would be damned if she let anything stop her!
"It's okay, Tomoko-chan. I-I don't mind if you see me like this. In fact, I want to show you more, if you'd like."
Sorry it took so long. I got finals coming up and need to study. But I had to give you guys at least this for so many reviews. Thanks for reviewing. Keep 'em coming, guys and thanks Zokusho for that. I apologise for being lazy here! Thanks for letting me know. Oh, yeah, I am South African, was it that easy to tell? Anyway, until next time!
PS: Since it isn't a one-shot anymore, I'll make the next chapter's longer, after my finals.
