AW, GROW UP ALREADY!
Chapter Three
More Than Love
Before Kagome knew it, it was Friday.
Her hands trembling, she managed to clothe herself in her summer uniform --- it was May 1, the official day to switch. Today she was a bit more meticulous where appearance was concerned. She adjusted the red necktie maybe twenty-seven times before she was satisfied that it was on straight. She headed out the door quickly, yet clumsily, almost tripping over the door frame. Midway down the hall her hands fruitlessly groped the air by her sides. Oh my goodness. I forgot Pashibaru! She spun around on her heel and ran back to her room.
"Gomen nasai, Pashibaru!" Kagome cried as she snatched up the teddy bear. Pashibaru's resentment was almost tangible.
I'm surprised that you even remember my name, the bear said deadpan.
"Eh? Nando yo?" the Lulim girl asked.
Ever since you got in with that Chiyo girl, well, I'm nothing but a stupid bear, right?
"No! It's not like that!"
Okay, Kagome, Pashibaru sighed, letting the issue go.
"Oussu! Kagome-chan!"
Kagome looked up to see Remon and Kizuna approaching. It was the latter who had hailed the third year.
The Étoile couple halted, and Remon blushed profusely.
"Oh, so we switch today…?" the green-haired girl mumbled sheepishly.
Kagome nodded.
"I told you, Remon-chan!" Kizuna giggled as the Étoile premier, in a flurry of humiliation, whirled around and headed back to their dorm.
All day long Kagome couldn't concentrate. In Gym her class played volleyball. But so focused on her night with Chiyo was the Lulim girl that more often than not did the ball hit her in the head. She was to write a rough draft in Effective Writing, but persuasive research was the last thing on her mind.
All she could think about was Chiyo, her body pressed against Kagome's, holding her powerfully, her hand reaching for an area where only Kagome's hand had gone…
By the end of the day, Kagome was running into doors.
After dinner that night, she started to seriously prepare for this date. A lot of attention was paid to appearance, and several outfits in Kagome's wardrobe didn't make the cut. In the end she settled for an olive-green tanktop and tan cargo shorts --- simple, but appealing. She got out a brush and a red ribbon, and put her hair up in a ponytail.
I've never seen you so conscientious about how you look, Pashibaru commented dryly. Then he said, You know, I really don't want to be here when this whole lose-your-virginity thing goes down.
"I understand," Kagome nodded, picking the bear up. "I think Kizuna-sama and Remon-sama would think me crazy to ask them to babysit you."
The important thing is that you are not crazy. But I will be if I have to sit and watch you and Chiyo doing the deed.
"Right, and this is a special night for us. I don't want it to be ruined by your ceaseless whining." Kagome exited her room with Pashibaru and headed for the Étoiles' room.
---
Currently Kizuna was signing her X to a large pile of papers. She looked up when the door swung open to see Remon entering. The green-haired girl carried a stack of papers so high, her face was obscured. She walked carefully to her partner's desk, and dropped the stack atop the pile of papers Kizuna was signing.
"Jeez, Remon-chan!" the cadette protested. "I'm tired of signing papers! I never want to write my name again!" But she pulled a sheet off the newly-heightened stack and proceeded to sign her name.
"At least you have me to share this burden with," said Remon. "Imagine what it must've been like for Shizuma."
"Yeah." Kizuna shuddered. She didn't want to think about going through that.
Sighing, Remon picked up the stack of papers Kizuna had signed and brought it over to her desk. Being Étoile really was a pain. In addition to the extra homework upperclassmen had to do, they also had to fill out forms, sign things, and type reports for student council meetings.
Her head in the clouds, Kizuna distractedly tore a corner off the form in front of her. She rolled it into a ball with her thumb and index finger. Then she got an idea.
Kizuna turned in her seat, pleased to see that Remon's hair was still up, the back of her neck exposed. The cadette popped the piece of paper in her mouth and rolled it over with her tongue. Once it was sufficiently wetted, she took aim and shot it out.
Her aim was true. The spit ball hit Remon square in the back of the neck. The premier sat up and absently rubbed her neck. Kizuna suppressed a giggle. When Remon went back to work, the cadette shot another spit ball. This one hit Remon's ear.
Now Remon turned in her chair to face her grinning girlfriend. "Kizuna-chan, is there a bee in here or something?"
"I don't know, Remon-chan. Do I sting like a bee?" Kizuna rested her chin on her palms, her brown eyes sparkling comically.
Remon took in her partner's joking expression, the torn up paper, and a look of horror crossed her face. She stood. "Kizuna! Those are important forms! You are an Etoile! Behave more responsibly!" She paused. "And stop making references to bad pop songs from the '90s!"
She sat back down. Moments later, she felt something pelt her shoulder. Thoroughly frustrated, Remon stood and crossed the room to stand over Kizuna.
"Okay, now I know you're trying to cheese me off."
"You're no fun anymore," Kizuna complained, poking Remon's tummy. The premier gave a little squeak; she tried to lecture Kizuna and avoid her poking finger at the same time.
"I've grown up, that's why I'm no fun. Kizuna-chan, we are the Etoile couple of Astraea Hill! That is an immense honor. Not only are we supposed to be a model couple, but we're model students! We have to fill that role. Now I see you chewing on paper --- I want you to put the spit ball in my hand."
Remon thrust her hand out. Kizuna stared at her.
"Kizuna-chan..."
"You want me to put a spit ball in your hand?"
"Yes. It's your spit, so---"
Kizuna shot the spit ball right at Remon's breasts. The premier tried to keep a straight face. But soon enough she found that impossible. She shook her head and chuckled. "God, you'll never get serious. You leave me no choice...but to tickle you!" she finished savagely.
Kizuna squealed and jumped up, nearly knocking over her chair. Remon advanced upon her rapidly, and Kizuna backed away. In a matter of seconds, the premier had the cadette cornered.
Kizuna sank down to her knees. "Please don't tick---AHH!" she cried as Remon squeezed her side.
The cadette endured a few pinches and pokes before she spontaneously reared up. With a surprising roar, Kizuna floored Remon. The Etoile couple tusseled a bit until the premier found herself being straddled and pinned down by her girlfriend. They locked eyes, breathing heavily, their faces red with exhaustion.
Remon sighed and smiled. "Quite a convenient position we're in. If only you'd grow up, Kizun---AAAHH!" The cadette was roughly kissing Remon's neck, her breath soft and gentle in her ear. "K-K-Kizuna...What ab-bout the forms?"
"Screw the forms!" Kizuna cheered. "And screw me!"
They locked lips for a few minutes. Then their makeout session was interrupted by the sound of their door slamming. Kizuna looked up. Remon craned her neck.
"What was that?" Remon asked.
"I don't know," Kizuna said oddly. "But somehow Pashibaru wound up in our room..."
They shrugged it off and went back to kissing, their clothes slowly coming off, oblivious to Pashibaru's rants.
What the hell! I came here to get away from this blasphemy! Aaauuu, Kagome! You owe me for this!!!
---
Chiyo stood outside Kagome's door, her fist raised to knock. But she couldn't. She was more nervous than the day she was assigned to be Nagisa and Tamao's room temp. That was an awfully long time ago, the librarian realized absently.
"Hey, Chiyo-chan."
Chiyo nearly jumped out of her skin. She turned around, surprised to see Kagome behind her.
"H-hey...Hey," she repeated, a bit more confidently. "Where were you?"
"Dropping Pashibaru off at Remon-sama's and Kizuna-sama's." Kagome stepped forward and pushed her door open. She politely offered for Chiyo to step in before her, an offer which Chiyo hesitantly accepted. However, the librarian stumbled over the door frame. Kagome caught her, but the two nearly fell over --- the Lulim girl's hand caught the door frame just in time. Using every ounce of her strength, Kagome managed to pull them upright.
"That was...awkward," the Lulim girl giggled nervously.
"Yeah. Nice save." Chiyo was still breathing heavily from the shock as Kagome closed the door. She took in what her girlfriend was wearing and commented, "You look amazing."
"Thanks," Kagome smiled, blushing. "You look great, too."
Chiyo was wearing an indigo T shirt and tattered jeans. Casual, but it worked for the librarian.
They stood for a moment, staring at one another. They both knew what was going to happen, and they both desperately wanted it to happen. But initiating it wasn't as easy as Carrie Bradshaw had made it seem (only take sex advice from Sex and the City with a grain of salt). Chiyo knew someone had to get this thing rolling, and so figured maybe she should. She stepped forward and leaned her head toward Kagome's, inviting her girlfriend to a kiss. Her breathn coming in short, panicked gasps, Kagome brought her hands to Chiyo's shoulders and got on tiptoe. They came close too eagerly, and bashed their heads together. They pulled apart briefly, giggling sheepishly.
"G-gomen nasai," Chiyo stuttered. "I just feel kind of nervous..."
"Let me...take you then." Kagome brought her arms around Chiyo's neck and kissed her full on the mouth. Shaking like a run-out horse, the librarian held Kagome by her trim waist, her clammy hands playing with the fabric of her tanktop. The sensations she felt now were very powerful, and they were going to get stronger. Kagome inched closer to Chiyo still, and began to bounce slowly on and off her toes, rubbing her body against the Miator girl's. Their kissing deepened, and Chiyo's stomach took a tremendous plummet.
Kagome broke off the kiss and murmured, "It feels good to rub up against you."
"Yeah, it feels good for me, too...Oh, God..." Chiyo gasped as Kagome strengthened her movements. She had never felt this much of Kagome all at once. She was starting to feel a bit of sensory overload. Chiyo could feel Kagome's breasts brushing past hers, over and over. Up, down, up, down. Torture. She felt light-headed, yet euphoric.
Kagome tipped her head back as the sensations briefly overwhelmed her. This was too much, but at the same time she wanted more. She pulled Chiyo towards the bed, where the librarian nervously laid with Kagome hesitantly sitting on top of her.
Chiyo took in the sight of Kagome's body hovering over her, and felt a chill in her thighs. The left strap of Kagome's tanktop had fallen down her arm a bit, partially revealing her bra. Plain old-fashioned white, a little crevice of cleavage. Kagome, sensing her girlfriend's curious desire, pulled off her tanktop. Upon seeing her beloved Kagome topless like that, a shock caused Chiyo to buck against her. She squirmed and the two shifted so Chiyo was sitting upright, her back against the headboard, with Kagome sitting in her lap. The librarian ran her clammy hands up and down Kagome's bare back, the warm feeling of her flesh tantilizing her more and more.
Kagome was feeling a drowsy sort of arousal, one that prompted not rough, aggressive sex, but slow, tender lovemaking. She and Chiyo were finally brave enough to have this night, and the Lulim girl wanted to make it last. Kagome ran her fingers through Chiyo's hair, watching adoringly as the locks slid through her hands in sapphiric cascades. She leaned in and showered her girlfriend with full, sensual kisses, cupping her cheeks in her hands.
Chiyo shuddered as she felt Kagome's gentle hands slip up her shirt and fondle her stomach. The Lulim girl was still kissing her deeply as she kneaded her tummy like bread dough. Then she ran her fingertips in feather-light circles trailing upward. Erotic anticipation fluttered in Chiyo's breasts as she pressed them toward Kagome, inviting her to them. But Kagome had other things in mind. She brought her hands back down and Chiyo sighed. Then back up again, dangerously closer to her chest. Then down. Moaning through the kissing, Chiyo pulled her shirt up high enough to expose her tummy. The cool air hitting her warm skin made her shiver. Kagome continued to torture the poor librarian with her close-yet-not-so-close strokes.
"K-Kagome, you're t-teasing me," Chiyo whimpered. "Please just touch me..."
The need was definitely there in her blue eyes. Kagome could feel Chiyo shaking, and suddenly knew how badly she had wanted this. She dismounted the librarian, and for a crestfallen moment Chiyo thought Kagome was backing down. But her libido shot back up through the roof as she saw the Lulim girl unbuttoning her jeans. Chiyo raised her hips to allow Kagome to pull them off.
Kagome smirked and her emerald eyes gleamed at the sight of Chiyo's underwear. "You're already wet."
"A-and you're not?" the librarian retorted.
The Lulim girl slipped a hand down her shorts. "Actually, yeah. I am, too. Wanna taste?" She brought her hand back out and trailed a glistening finger along Chiyo's lips. Chiyo instinctively took the finger in her mouth and sucked. Warm and salty.
To Chiyo's shock, Kagome went down on her. Everytime she felt her girlfriend's tongue on her clitoris, it sent a jolt that was oddly hot and cold at the same time through her. Her spine arched and her legs shook like an earthquake. She could hear Kagome's muffled groans, saw her hands between her legs stimulating herself. (Somewhere between the wetness banter and the eating Kagome's shorts had come off. Chiyo couldn't remember when, and decided it didn't matter.)
It was starting to become too much for them. To Kagome, the sensations building in her chest were not unlike the Giant Drop at amusement parks --- they built up high in her and impetuously plummeted. Suddenly they were no longer controlling their movements, just moving instinctively. Chiyo's orgasm seized her by the heart and soul as she cried Kagome's name.
"Kagome!" she sobbed as she erupted in Kagome's face. Having Chiyo's juices shoot out on her pushed the Lulim girl over the edge and she, too, climaxed.
Once her orgasm subsided, an immense fatigue swamped Kagome. Her arms shaking, she reared back up to look at Chiyo. In the librarian's sapphiric eyes Kagome saw everything. Neither of them could think, just feel. And what they felt for each other was something potent that the word "love" didn't hold a candle to. Whatever it was, it was more than love.
---
Afterward they laid side-by-side on the bed facing each other. Their bodies were so vulnerable post-climax that it hurt to touch. So they held hands. And really, for this moment that was only theirs, that simple gesture was the best thing ever. They locked eyes, silently getting to know each other, occasionally sharing a warm smile.
"...Chiyo-chan...?" Kagome whispered.
"Yeah?" The librarian inched closer.
If it were possible, the Lulim girl's feelings for Chiyo strengthened as she proclaimed, "I love you, Chiyo. I love you."
Chiyo smiled hugely, her blue eyes swimming. "And I love you, Kagome...so much..."
They kissed gently a few times before it became too much for them to bear. Then Chiyo pulled the duvet over them, Kagome switched off the lights, and they fell into a deep dreamless sleep.
AUTHOR'S NOTE
So hopefully this turned out okay. I never did think I was very great at writing scenes like this. But I did have a few goals with this chapter. One, I wanted to keep in mind that Chiyo and Kagome are only 13 or 14 so this would be pretty awkward for them. Two, I wanted to accurately portray the emotional side of sex. I feel that a lot of erotic novels focus too much on technique and not enough on what the characters are feeling. Three, I wanted it to be fairly educational. Not like sex ed, but more like imparting some advice.
If you didn't catch it already, Kizuna has made references to "She Bangs" by Ricky Martin and "Ironic." (Though I think "She Bangs" was actually recorded in the early 2000's.)
