?

So, anyways, hello everyone. Today, the new chapter of my story has been posted. On another note, I was thinking about it, and I supposed I should probably give an explanation as to how this story is made.

Yes, of course, this story is based on the characters and stuff of K-ON, but most of the story is influenced by the music I listen to. I usually pick a song, maybe two or three, and listen to them over and over to get the story out. And whatever comes from randomly in my mind, that is what is produced.

Why am I telling you this? I realize there is some OC in this. I would just like to let you all know I acknowledge this, not that I've gotten a whole lot of complaints, as of now. Also, this is why Ritsu's a singer. Mostly, because when I imagined someone singing the music I was listening to, it seemed better to have Ritsu do it. Mio just doesn't really seem like that kind of person.

Thank's for letting me clear this air, which was mostly for myself. It was bothering me a little bit.

Yeah, don't own K-ON, or it's characters, or it's songs. Don't own any other music mentioned or used in this either. Unless of course I make it up, in which case I will let you know. I also don't own any types of clothing, or TV shows I use in this.

Oh yeah, and … :

"Ritsu, we've been digging for two hours!" Mio shouted, tiredly. "Can we take a break?"

Ritsu looked down at Mio, who stood at the bottom of a twenty foot long hole. The hole was large enough to fit three mini vans, and had snow stairs leading back to the top. There were also three tunnels, leading into different directions. Ritsu gave a hum of satisfaction and nodded.

"Sure, we can take a break! I'd say we're about done anyways!" Ritsu called back down. Mio gave a small sigh, from her fatigue, and climbed up the snow stairs. Ritsu waited for her at the top, and when Mio reached her Ritsu took her by the arm and led her back up to her apartment. Ko looked up as they walked into the living room.

"Hey, Mio, you go to Sakura High right?" Ko asked.

"Yeah," Mio said, with a nod. "Why?"

"I know some girls from your high school, so I invited them." Ko said, leaning back on the couch. "Oh, and your friends email was on the computer, so I invited them too. Actually, I invited them to be part of our army."

"You go to Sakura High?" Ritsu asked, looking confused.

"You didn't know that?" Mio said, raising an eyebrow at her.

"Oh yeah? What school do I go to?" Ritsu shot back, challenging her.

"Uh…" Mio said, as she didn't know.

"Ha!" Ritsu shouted. "Hmph, you don't get to talk now!"

"What school do you go to?" Mio asked, curious. "There are only four schools around here. My school, Primose High for girls, and two other schools, but they're for boys."

"Go ahead and guess." Ritsu said, with a hint of amusement on her face.

"Primose?" Mio asked, as it was the only option.

"Nope." Ritsu said, with a smile. "182 Blink Lower College." [1]

"That's a boy's school!" Mio shouted. "And it's for the smartest guys in this district!"

"My dad's on the board," Ritsu said, with a shrug. "And, obviously, I have great grades."

"You have terrible grades." Ko jumped in. Ritsu glared at him.

"Well, what ever." Ritsu said, rolling her eyes. "One of the reason's I've had so many boyfriends. I was the only girl they pretty much came in contact with."

"…" Mio just stared at her. "What about gym and stuff like that?"

"I just go change in the bathroom," Ritsu said.

"Do you have your own uniform?" Mio asked.

"Naw, that's too much," Ritsu said, shrugging. "Besides, I like wearing pants better."

"Somehow, this isn't surprising me as much as it should…" Mio said, shaking her head.

"Shouldn't you be worried?" Ritsu asked.

"Why?"

"Because, some random could steal me." Ritsu said, as if it were plain as day. Mio raised an eyebrow. "Or rape me!"

KAPOW!

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!" Ritsu cried, holding the top of her head.

"Pou, oi Ko, Ritsu," Akahiro suddenly said. "Have you ever considered being a punk band, or whatever it's called? You know, like Sum 41, Good Charlotte, or Blink 182."

"It could be fun," Ritsu said, with thought. "What brought that on though?"

"Well, the songs we sing now have more of a Ready Set or My Genuine Find feel, ya know. Like… more techno-y." Akahiro said. "And, part of me thinks that Ritsu's voice would fit it more. I mean, you're voice is great anyways, but it's kinda got this… roughness about it. Plus, you seem more like a punk performer."

" 'More like a punk performer'?" Ritsu asked. "How so?"

"Well, I mean, you like jumping around stage, and that head banging stuff," Akahiro said.

"You're actually right." Ko agreed. "It does seem more like you'd be a punk band member. The thing with a punk band is that, personally, I think it would be better if we had two guitar players. But, unlike a lot of people, we use the bass to keep the beat."

"You use the bass to keep the beat?" Mio asked.

"Yeah," Ritsu answered, scratching the back of her head. Something seemed to be going on in her head. "Something about it just feels easier. Besides, I'd get lost in the song sometimes, so we needed a new way to figure out where we were in the song. So we use the bass. We just have it have pretty much the same sound the whole song, and changes indicate what part of the song we're at. Like, the tempo might increase for the chorus or something."

"You guys… are really impressive." Mio said, in awe. "I don't think I'd ever be able to do that."

"Psh, you don't play an instrument, you wouldn't know if you could or not," Ritsu said.

"Ritsu Tainaka, we have been going out for two and a half months now." Mio said, angrily. "How do you not know I play an instrument?"

"Wait, you do?" Ritsu said, innocently. Mio's face went red with anger.

"I've told you before that I did!" She shouted.

"You have?" Ritsu said, batting her eyes a bit. "What on earth do you play?"

"The bass, you idiot!" Mio shouted, steam coming out of her ears. Ritsu grinned, triumphantly. Ko and Akahiro's eyes gleamed. Mio felt their looks and gulped. "Shit…"

"Hey guys, what's going on?" Akahiko said, coming in through the window. "Oh yeah, you guys LEFT me in the tunnels, and FORGOT to tell me we were done!"

"Mio's joining the band," Akahiro said.

"I, uh, well, I," Mio started, her eyes spinning.

"Oh ho ho, you are one clever bastard, Ritsu Tainaka." Ritsu said, praising herself. "Oh, no, no, no. You're the clever one, Ritsu! Please Ms. Tainaka, you're clearly the most clever one here."

"You set me up…" Mio said, in shock.

"And you actually thought I forgot," Ritsu said, pouting a bit. "What kind of girlfriend would I be if I forgot?"

"I hate you so much right now," Mio hissed.

"Band mates shouldn't hate each other!" Ko said, hugging them together.

"Guys, I don't know if I can really join…" Mio said hesitantly.

"Oh c'mon, the other day you told me, that you needed money." Ritsu said, raising her eyebrows with a smile. "Isn't this a good way to earn some pocket cash?"

"There are other ways to make money," Mio pointed out.

"Oh? Didn't know you were that kind of girl." Ritsu said, with a smirk. "You and me, baby, ain't nothing but mammals, so let's do it like they do on the discovery channel."

"GET HORNY NOW!" [2]Akahiro shouted, realizing what song Ritsu was singing.

"Do do dodo doo doo, do do dodo doo doo, do do dodo doo doo!" Ritsu and Akahiro attempted to sing out the beat.

SMACK! SPLAT! KERPOW!

"Holy , that hurt!" Akahiro whined. "How do you put up with that?"

"I'm a masochist," Ritsu said with a smile. THWACK!"No… no I'm not. It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts."

"Then, try to think before you speak." Mio said, harshly. Ritsu wept silent tears and decided not to comment.

"Why're you against helping us?" Ko asked, calmly. "This could actually probably help us. Don't you want Ritsu to be successful? What else do you think she could do?"

"Hey!" Ritsu shouted.

"Hush," Ko said. "You won't even consider it?"

"Well… I could consider it, but you know, I have studying to do, and I'm applying to colleges and taking exams…" Mio started.

"I love you," Ritsu said, seriously. Mio looked shocked, and then turned bright red.

"… ok fine," Mio said, relenting.

"You know, we can even visit colleges whilst on tour." Ritsu pointed out. "We can direct our tours in places with colleges you want to go to."

"You can?" Mio asked, looking enthusiastic.

"Well, duh!" Ritsu said.

"We'll do everything we can, to make sure you get into the college you want," Ko said. "Akahiko or I wouldn't mind helping you study, right?"

"Of course not," Akahiko said. "You can always ask me for help. Even though I'm younger…"

"Really?" Mio said, her face brightening. Ritsu had to squint just to look at her.

"Yeah, yeah," Akahiko said, with a kind smile. "A friend of Ritsu is a friend of mine."

"Thanks," Mio said, beaming.

"Ritsu, what's wrong with you?" Akahiro asked, noticing how Ritsu looked as if she was looking straight into the sun.

"Can you not see it?" Ritsu gasped. "My eyes! They burn!"

"What?" Mio said, turning to look at Ritsu. She scowled when she saw Ritsu look at her through squinted eyes. "Well, sorry for being so horrifying that I burn your eyes."

"What're you talking about?" Ritsu said, utterly confused. "Am I the only one noticing how bright she is right now?"

"What are you talking about?" Akahiko said, worried.

"Are you all blind?" Ritsu shouted, covering her eyes with her hands. She gave a content sigh. "Ah, the darkness. It soothes me."

"Mio looks exactly the same." Ko said.

"Could this be…" Ritsu said, with a sudden thought. She opened her eyes, only to have to squint them again.

"What's wrong with you?" Mio said, looking at her as if she had three heads.

"I… I…" Ritsu was at a lost for words. Suddenly, she launched herself at Mio, burying her face in her shoulder and wrapping her arms around her waist. "I love you!"

"W-w-what?" Mio stuttered. She could feel Ritsu's heart beat on her chest and blushed. "What is it?"

"I love you," Ritsu repeated. She kept Mio close to her, as if she was going to run away. Mio sat motionless, bright red and confused.

"Uh… I…" Mio started, slowly moving her arms around Ritsu too. "I… love you too."

With out warning, Ritsu leaned up and planted a kiss on Mio's cheek, with a smile.

"You're really cute," Ritsu said, with a satisfied huff.

"W-w-w-what are you talking about?" Mio asked, lost.

"Oooh nothing~" Ritsu purred, burying her face in Mio's neck. Her warm breath tickled Mio. Then, she pulled back. "You know, Travis Barker is pretty hot." [3]

"What?" Mio said, surprised and some what disappointed. "Wait, isn't he the guy with the Mohawk and all the tattoos? How is that attractive?"

"How is it not?" Ritsu said, leaning back on the arm rest, with a grin. "Bad boys are my type."

"What about me?" Mio said, furrowing her eyebrows, slightly agitated.

"You're Mio," Ritsu said, smiling. "You're just my type."

"Oh really?" Mio said, raising an eyebrow suspiciously.

"Well, of course, then there's Ryan Sheckler, Adam Levine, Ryan Gosling, Chad Muska, Riley Hawk, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Chris Hemsworth, the Madden Brothers…Oh! And of course, BAM MARGERA! Bad ass right there!" [4]

"Ritsu!" Mio growled. "You're really going off about people who you're attracted to, in front of your girlfriend?"

"Well, of course," Ritsu said. "Because my girlfriend knows that no one in this world is hotter than her."

Mio turned bright red, and scratched her face.

"Besides, you can tell me about who you're attracted to," Ritsu said, with a grin. "I wont mind."

"Well… no, it's really ok." Mio said, shaking her head.

"Oh, there is someone?" Ritsu said, jumping up. "Tell me, tell me!"

"It's no one!" Mio shouted, getting up to walk away. Ritsu grabbed her arm and swung her back on to the couch. She swiftly put her legs on either side of Mio, effectively straddling her. Mio attempted to move, but Ritsu forcefully held her hands next to her head. She moved her head to Mio's neck and breathed heavily on it.

"You wouldn't really want to do this in front of them, would you?" Ritsu asked, huskily. Mio gulped.

"R-r-ritsu!" She cried, helplessly. "Stop!"

The boys fidgeted uncomfortably. They're faces were bright red, and they tried to look away. However, Mio and Ritsu were attractive females, and it wasn't every day you got to see a sight like this. Well… maybe on the internet, but not five feet in front of you.

"You d-d-d-don't want to let them s-s-s-see this either, do you?" Mio stuttered, and Ritsu slowly licked up her neck, tracing a line to her earlobe. Ritsu lightly bite down, causing a squeak from Mio.

"I don't care that much," Ritsu admitted. "They've seen me do this before, hell, even with Kobsene."

Ko shook his head, remembering how often Ritsu would initiate a make out session while other people were around. He was surprised that she didn't do it as often with Mio, but he realized she probably didn't want to expose Mio as much.

"Ok! Fine!" Mio shouted, shaking her head, breathing heavily. "It's… it's … mic...el Ce.a"

"…What?" Ritsu asked. "Speak up."

"…" Mio remained silent until Ritsu started returning to work on Mio again. "IT'S MICHEAL CERA!"

….

….

"BWAAHAHAHAHAHA!" Ritsu burst into laughing, falling backwards and hitting her head on the floor. She continued to laugh anyways. "Michael Cera? Leave it to you!"

"Well, I mean, he's, uhm, he's cute…" Mio said quietly. "SHUT UP RITSU! You told me to tell you! This is why I didn't want to!"

"I'm sorry," Ritsu said, attempting to cease her laughter. Mio punched her in the head. "OW! Ok, I'm really sorry, I'm sorry."

"You should be." Mio said, miffed.

"Well, fine, me and my band are going to discuss our future plans," Ritsu said. "While we wait for the war to start."

"I thought you guys told me to join?" Mio asked.

"No." Ritsu said. "I don't want you to anymore."

"Holy shit, stop arguing." Ko said, shaking his head with frustration. "We can be a punk band, and we're keeping Mio. Besides, we'd be more interested of a band if we had her. Most bands don't have girls just playing instruments."

"I agree," Akahiko said. "It sounds logical."

"Pou, and Mio's hot." Akahiro said, honestly, with a smirk. Ritsu sent a death glare towards him as Mio blushed. Fire formed behind Ritsu. Mio panicked and put it out by frantically hitting it with a pillow.

"It's not like I'm that interested in her, calm down Ritsu." Akahiro said. "I don't want your sloppy seconds."

"Sloppy seconds?" Ritsu shouted, furious.

"No, that's not what I meant!" Akahiro said, frantically. "I meant, I wouldn't go after her, because, you know, I respect our friendship, and homies don't do that shit to each other!"

"Oh, why didn't you just say that?" Ritsu said, smiling and waving it off. The aura around stayed glowing red though. Akahiro shuddered with fear. "Besides, Mio has higher standards then you."

"Clearly not, if I'm with you, Ritsu," Mio said, bluntly. Ritsu's jaw dropped as she looked at Mio, dumbfounded.

"Are you saying I'm not of high quality?" Ritsu pouted.

"That's exactly what I'm saying." Mio said.

"…Barnacles are growing on your feet," Ritsu said ominously. Mio turned pale, shot up from the couch and went to kneel in a corner.

"It's not there, it's not there, it's not there, it's not there, it's not there," She repeated, holding her hand over her ears and she shook her head. She cautiously looked at her feet.

"Barnacles!" Ritsu said, popping over her shoulder.

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Mio screamed. Ritsu flinched from the high pitched noise. Mio turned to her with anger. "Stupid Ritsu!"

"Ow…" Ritsu said, taking her spot in Mio's corner, holding the large bump on her head.

"You know I don't like to be scared." Mio growled.

"But you're so cute~" Ritsu purred.

"Shut up." Mio said, and returned to the couch.

"Are we all loaded, Akahiro?" Ritsu asked.

"Yes sir!" Akahiro said, saluting. All seven of the small army had snowball guns around their torsos.

"Yui, Mugi, keep making snow balls as fast as you can." Ritsu said, walking down the line.

"Roger!" Yui said, saluting her as she past.

"Will do!" Mugi said, following suit with a determined look on her face.

"Azusa, Ko, Akahiko be careful on the battle field," Ritsu said, continuing. "And remember the sites where we have refueling stations."

"Okey dokey lokey," Ko said, with a smile.

"Yep," Azusa said, nonchalantly.

"Mio~" Ritsu hummed. "You're gonna stay close to me and defend our base."

"Okay," Mio said.

"Everything is in place… we can expect swarms to come by the tens or the hundreds even. This is our last stand." Ritsu said, dramatically. She tilted her hood off her face slightly. "We will succeed. There are seven of us now. I expect seven of us at the end too. If not, just know you died in battle, for honor… with honor."

"Sir yes sir!" Akahiro, Yui, and Mugi said, all with intense looks on their faces. Mio rolled her eyes and Azusa sighed.

"Aren't you taking this a little too seriously," Mio said. Ritsu, Akahiro, Yui, and Mugi all whipped their heads around, their eyes beaming.

"I hope for at least six of us to come back." Ritsu said. "We can afford some causalities… Akahiro take your position. Azusa, Ko to the leftward wing. Mugi, Yui, take cover in the tunnels and continue snow ball making and transportation. Mio, you'll be coming with me to a hidden spot in front of our base."

"Be safe everyone…" Akahiro said. He turned to Akahiko, with tears in his eyes. "Brother… if I don't come out alive… take my xbox. And tell mother I love her!"

"It's a snow ball fight, you're not gonna d-"

BAM!

A handful of snow made contact with Akahiko's face. He wiped it of and glared at Akahiro.

"Fine," He said, with a grunt.

"Wars aren't won by numbers, soldiers." Ritsu said, ceasing her walking. "Their won with skill. And no one out there is more skilled than us seven. This. Is. Our. Battle. Now get out there, and win this!"

"YEAH!" Yui shouted.

"Hurrah!" Akahiro said, throwing a fist in the air.

"Woo." Akahiko said, unexcited.

"Yes!" Mugi said, her eyes glowing with anticipation.

"You better not let anything happen to me," Mio said, her arms crossed, her gun slinged [5] behind her back.

"We'll be back, after this battle is over." Ko said, calmly, but with a smile.

"Yui-sempai, please don't do anything stupid." Azusa said.

"Why only me?" Yui complained.

"Because I'm most worried about you." Azusa said, with a sigh.

"Alright!" Ritsu said, firmly. "Go!"

The seven members than walked their own separate ways. Ritsu went into a tunnel straight behind her, Mio following shortly behind her. It was a little dark in these tunnels, but enough light to be able to see what was in front and behind you. Ritsu held her hands on her head, carefully placing on foot after another, her gun bouncing lightly against her stomach. They walked in silence, save for the crunching of snow.

"Oi, Ritsu?" Mio called out, hesitantly.

"Hm?"

"Don't you dare think of leaving me here."

"I wasn't planning on it. This is too important, you might break the walls if I scared you."

"This tunnels is more important than me being scared?"

"If you break it, you might end up trapped. Which is why you shouldn't yell either." Ritsu said calmly. She turned back, looking at Mio with a smile. "Dro you want me to hold your hand?"

"Uh, uh, n-n-n-no, I'm not t-t-that scared." Mio said, blushing. Ritsu just kept walking with a smirk.

"Okay then~ I think we're about ten yards from where we should be." Ritsu said. "The tunnels getting lighter."

Mio felt anxious as the light came closer and closer, not knowing what might be beyond the slight darkness. She gripped her arm tightly, and attempted to breathe evenly.

"Don't let it get to you, rookie," Ritsu suddenly said. "Everyone's first battle is the scariest."

"I…I…" Mio started, fear spreading through out her body. Then she shook her head, and furrowed her eyebrows. "Wait, this isn't war! This is just a snowball fight!"

"But you have to go into it as if it was a war!" Ritsu said, with exasperation. "How do you expect to win if you half-ass it?"

"You get motivated about things like this, but not anything important?" Mio asked, raising an eyebrow. "Like… school?"

"What if I join the National Guard?" Ritsu retorted.

"I thought you said "the band is forever" Mio said, trying to imitate Ritsu's voice.

"So I don't need to focus at school!" Ritsu said, smiling back at her. Mio felt a vein pop in her head, with frustration. "We're here."

Ritsu and Mio stepped into small, circular snow room with two lawn chairs, a cooler, a telescope and two pairs of binoculars. There was a long, narrow window stretching across most of the wall. It was just big enough to comfortably move their guns in, but not crawl through.

Then Mio noticed something.

"Are we underground?" she asked.

"Yep. We'd be too obvious if we were a giant lump in front of our base." Ritsu said, taking a seat. "And it's easier to ambush them from below."

"Why is there a telescope?" Mio asked, sitting in the chair next to Ritsu.

"So we can find the people before they actually get close. Then we use the binoculars when they get close enough that we have to position ourselves." Ritsu explained. "Then… BAM! We take 'em out. I've even got holes set up around here."

"Holes?"

"Booby traps! They run, they fall, their confused, they try to get out, they cant."

"Isn't that dangerous?"

"They can dig themselves out, but they'll be too frustrated to think of it so a while. The holes are only six feet deep anyways."

"What's in the cooler?"

"Uh, beers, sodas, juice…"

"Beer?"

"I like my alcohol, leave me alone."

"Whatever… so how did you manage to make this?"

"Very carefully. We're the only ones who know where it is too~" A smile formed on Ritsu's lips. "The tunnels are very intricately designed. It'd be very hard to find this place and very easy to get lost."

"How did we manage not to get lost?"

"I put little markers on the way over here."

"When did you become so… prepared?"

"You know, just in case there's some development~"

"Development?"

"You know, the kind where we end up having sex."

TWACK!

"We are not doing it in a place like this."

"Why not? I don't even remember the first time we got to do it. And it was in some person's bathroom."

"Hmph, we can… uh… do it some other time."

"Really?" Ritsu said, perking up.

"Yeah, sure," Mio said, with a small sigh. She didn't really feel annoyed though, but a bit guilty that she was the only one that got to remember the first time. Ritsu reached into her pocket and threw something at Mio.

"Pick something?" Ritsu asked. Mio looked down and saw that it was an ipod. Ritsu then produced small speakers from her large white jacket. Mio scrolled through the music on Ritsu's ipod, looking for something she liked. She finally found something, clicked it, and gave the ipod back to Ritsu.

"… you have such a weird taste of music," Ritsu said, with a smirk.

"Shut up." Mio said, turning red.

"But still, it's a good song." Ritsu said. "The Ballad of Mona Lisa… Do you listen to Panic at the Disco?"

"Yeah, they're probably my favorite band," Mio said, nonchalantly, grabbing a sprite from the cooler.

"Why was I not aware of this?" Ritsu asked.

"You never asked?"

"We just had a conversation about music you liked the other day," Ritsu said.

"Well… I don't know…" Mio said.

"Brendon Urie's cute." Ritsu said, blatantly.

"…I know." Mio said, quietly. Ritsu stared at her for a second, before breaking into laughter.

"That's why you didn't want to tell me, isn't it?" Ritsu said, snickering. "Thought I'd be jealous?"

"Well, normally, don't people not say things like that?" Mio said, embarrassed.

"In normal relationships, but we're both girls. It's not like I can really deny it." Ritsu said, still laughing a little. "I don't mind that much, unless you say you'd leave me for one of them. Then I'd have a problem with it."

"Ordinary people would be jealous…" Mio mumbled. Ritsu looked at her, seriously.

"You don't have to be, when I say things like that, you know." Ritsu said. "Because no matter how hot anyone is, I'd still choose you. Even if you were the ugliest person in the world, which you're clearly not."

"But… it still makes me feel a little anxious." Mio admitted, looking down at her soda.

"If it makes you feel that bad, I'll stop." Ritsu said, seriously. She stared at Mio, even if she wouldn't look up. "I'm sorry."

"Ah, it's… it's fine." Mio said, looking up at her. She blushed at her passionate stare. "I… I understand where you're coming from."

"Mio, if I had to choose between losing you or several hours of acupuncture, I'd be one holey freak." Ritsu said, with a smile. Mio smiled back at her, relaxed. "Anyways, it's time to check the surrounding areas."

Ritsu stood up and walked over to the telescope. Mio watched as Ritsu stuck her eye onto it and quietly looked around. Ritsu sighed and stood up straight again. She stretched and looked at her watch.

"It's only ten in the afternoon… I'm pretty sure the wars starting at twelve…" Ritsu said, with a loud sigh.

"What?" Mio shouted. "Why are we out here so early?"

"Well, everyone wanted to make sure everything was perfect. I mean, early bird catches the worm." Ritsu said, with a shrug. "Besides… I haven't been alone with you for three days…"

Mio blushed, as Ritsu sat back down grabbing a coke from the cooler. Mio grabbed Ritsu's hand as she raised the drink to her mouth. Ritsu looked at her with confusion. Mio was blushing, leaning over Ritsu, one knee on the chair, the other planted on the ground.

"What's wrong?" Ritsu asked.

"Well… I know I said I wouldn't earlier…but…" Mio started, licking her lips.

"Hm?" Ritsu hummed, confused.

"I wouldn't mind…" Mio continued, leaning closer to Ritsu, both knees on her chair now. One hand stayed on her soda, the other pressed against Ritsu's stomach. Ritsu gulped.

"Mind…?" Ritsu squeaked out.

"…Doing…" Mio continued, her mouth against Ritsu's ear. Despite being a room made of snow, Mio could feel heat rising from Ritsu.

"Doing…?"

"It," Mio finished, taking Ritsu's ear in her teeth. Ritsu shuddered with a smile. She tugged at Mio's shirt, flinging it somewhere in the snow.

"So…" Ritsu said, a bit out of breath. "Was it better than the first time?"

"A thousand times better," Mio said, panting. Their clothes were back on them, but they stuck to them as they were sweaty. Some of the snow on the ground had melted, from where they had done it on the floor. A chuck of the wall was missing too. Ritsu's smiled at Mio.

"Hm, then this is a good memory," Ritsu purred, nuzzling her face against Mio. "Even if it's not the first."

"Agreed." Mio said, with a nod. Suddenly, the sound of feet crunching on snow could be heard from outside.

"And so it begins…" Ritsu said, with a crazy grin.
