Young At Heart
Part 2
He makes me go oo-oo-oooo
When he looks at me
Oo-oo-ooo
And it's plain to see
Nothing you can do oo-oo-oooo
To discourage me
And I love him
I really love him
"Mai-chan, over here…" a girl with octopus hairstyle waved to Mai from the front row of the bleacher as people starting to fill up quickly. Mai smiled as she made her way to the girl who is a year younger than her girlfriend and dating the school's infamous delinquent: Yuuki Nao. Mai had wondered how does a petite girl like Shiho managed to put a leash on Nao to begin with, even though Nao prefer to wear pants outside of class it seemed clearly who is wearing the pants in the relationship.
"This is your first time here to watch Mikoto's race right?" Shiho asked once Mai sat down next to her. "Y-yeah…" Mai replied nervously feeling out of place somehow. "Don't worry about what other people say, especially Nao-chan. She was the star of the track team until Mikoto joined last year, that's why she's holding a grudge against Mikoto. I never thought the day where Nao-chan would be overthrown as the fastest runner though," Shiho giggled lightly. "Tch! You never let it go do you?" Nao flopped down on the other side of Shiho while glaring at the girl grudgingly. "Of course not, how else will you learn modesty and being humble?" Shiho said with a bright smile on her young and innocent face.
Munakata Shiho is the manager to both the track and kendo team, and she's a slave driver during practice. Thanks to her effort, the junior high come in first place during the regional tournament and second place in the national championship for both clubs last year. Even though she's dating the star of the track team, she worked Nao harder than the rest because she doesn't want the others to think that she's favoring anyone.
The race wasn't all that exciting, but it was intense as each of them trying their best to be the first to cross the finish line. By the end of it all, Mikoto won first place and one of her teammate got third while second place went to a top runner from another school. During the whole ceremony, the feral girl stared straight at her girlfriend in the stands with the rest of the crowds. Her fearsome amber eyes bore into amethyst eyes, carrying deep love; desire and hunger within it like those strong ocean waves crashing violently against the rocks. Mai felt as though she's slowly losing control of herself as a light red hue slowly spreading itself across her cheeks and maybe moving to the rest of her body.
"Mai, what the hell are you doing with her?!" a certain biker yelled just as Mai caught up with the young athletic star and give her a quick kiss on the lips. "Natsuki, aren't you supposed to be in track meeting today?" Mai asked turning around to look at a very angry looking girl with long midnight tresses and emerald eyes filled with disgust. Kuga Natsuki, Mai's best friend since junior high and a complete delinquent who is into motorcycles and street racing. The girl was a notorious badass and still is, she even proclaimed to be a lone wolf and have a very unhealthy obsession with Mayo. In other words, everything she ate looked like it has been dipped in a pot of mayo and she would never go anywhere without a bottle of mayo just in case.
"Tch, there weren't any practice today and what the hell is it with this place?" Natsuki said with venom as she looked around the room. Somehow she was talked into going to a Tea House with Mai and Mikoto, the hostess led them into a very plain but elegant room away from the main house. It looked to be of old style, sliding paper doors, a nice backyard, a small pond with waterfall and the sound of bamboo hitting the rock every time it dumped the water that filled it up back into the pond. It has a very calming effect and a relaxing atmosphere, even the angry Natsuki slowly deflated by it.
"It is exactly what it is, a Tea House." Mikoto said nonchalantly as the door slid open and a figure entered. Mai noticed immediately that that person is none other then Fujino Shizuru, dressing in beautiful plum shade kimono with sakura patterns on it. She looked so divine that Natsuki, who was about to took a sip of the tea ended up forgetting to open her mouth and poured it down onto her jacket and shirt instead. "Ara, if you don't like the green tea I could always bring out the red tea. There's no need to waste it," Shizuru said as she looked at Natsuki with her twinkling crimson orbs. "Achchacha…" Natsuki jumped as she finally felt the hot water on her skin after it soaked through her clothes. "I know she's beautiful, but you're just totally slack jawed at her sight that you pour hot tea on your clothes." Mai giggled as she whispered to Natsuki who turned redder with each word.
"Ara, Mikoto-han, I almost forgot that Jiji wanted you to come over to the meeting room." Shizuru said as she turned her attention to the feral girl while holding out a bag. Mikoto drank her tea, put the cup down with great care and got up. "Please help me get ready," Mikoto said with a light bow at the ex-kaicho. As soon as Shizuru nodded her head, the young girl started stripping her school uniform off in front of her girlfriend and Natsuki without a second thought. Mai blushed hard as she tried to remain calm and focused her attention on the cup of tea in front of her, all the while Natsuki could only gawked at how tone Mikoto was. Shizuru delicately helped the young girl buttoned up her shirt, tuck it in, and even make her tie and straighten it out before handing her the jacket to complete the suit. "Mai, I'll be back in a bit." Mikoto smiled at the older girl charmingly and Mai could help but nodded and blushed deeply at the same time. "Shizuru, I leave them in your beautiful hands," Mikoto chuckled as she left and Shizuru giggled lightly at the girl's words.
