"Blood is Thicker than Water"


Chapter 8: Crazy For You

As the crystalline-like ice nearly consumes the apartment window, past the chilling window displayed an affectionate embrace of two lovers under the warm snow white sheets. The pair were in the familiar positions from the previous night, the shorter girl's face buried in the dark-haired woman's neck with her arms wrapped around her pale abdomen.

The older girl awoke first, inhaling the scent of her younger sister's dishevelled hair. She shuts her eyes once more nuzzling into her lover's temple once more. Before the former student council president was comfortable to fall asleep once more, her eyes snapped open instantly remembering something of great importance.

"Ryuko, when does your train leave?" Satsuki whispered waking her sister up.

"Mmm…like eleven…why?" she mumbled eyes still shut. Satsuki looked over at her clock on the desk behind Ryuko.

"Well its nine now, it's probably best we get up now," she suggested beginning to disentangle herself from Ryuko's hold.

"Can't we stay here for a little while?" Ryuko muffled, face first on the feathery pillow. Not bothering to put on her robe Satsuki got up and walked around the bed to Ryuko's side.

With a devilish grin, Satsuki leaned down to Ryuko's ear and whispered. "Well cuddling for your last morning here would be nice, but I have a much more…special send-off that I have in mind," she breathed sensually softly gliding her hands across Ryuko's hair.

Piquing her interest Ryuko instantly sat up with a nearly identical grin to her sister's. "Oh yeah, what do ya have in mind?" she asked as Satsuki cups her jaw.

"Would you like to take a little shower with me?" Satsuki proposed rubbing Ryuko's cheek with her thumb.

Ryuko felt a wave of mixed emotions when her sister invited her to bathe with her and the possibilities of sensual activities involving a naked Satsuki covered with warm suds. Knowing about her sister's past she never thought that she would be suggest something like this at this early stage of their relationship.

"Are…are ya sure, like are you okay with that?" Ryuko stuttered still taken aback from Satsuki's offer.

"Ryuko, you trusted me last night it's only fair if I trust you too-"

"We don't owe each other anything-"

"Let me finish, what she did, as dreadful as it was, it's in the past now," she started now sitting next to Ryuko on the mattress. "I'm not afraid of her anymore, and neither should you and I'm definitely not doing this because I feel that I owe you or vice versa," she continued now leaning in for their first kiss of the day "To be honest I want to do this because, my sister-complex dictates me to bathe my adorable baby-sister,"

"Pervert,"

"Admit it, you want to do it too," she retorted quickly.

"Yeah you're right, come on," Ryuko agreed as the couple got up and made their way to the restroom.

"Gah! Why is the water so damn cold?" Ryuko shrieked stepping in the shower after her sister. Satsuki briefly apologised and raised the temperature at a satisfactory climate for both of the girls.

"Could you wash my back for me" Satsuki asked handing over a lavender-coloured body soap container that gave Ryuko unwelcome goosebumps. Ryuko overcame her anxious vibes and obliged by gingerly rubbing the soapy water all over Satsuki's slender back.

"They don't hurt,"

"What?"

"It's obvious that you're avoiding them, it's alright to touch them they don't hurt," Satsuki answered looking over her shoulder with a smile. It was obvious, Ryuko never noticed before the numerous scars all over her pearly back, either due to that the only time she saw her back it was either covered or was clouded in darkness.

Ryuko gulped brushing over every wound on her sister's body. "Sorry," she whispered.

"Please don't be, they aren't yours," Satsuki assured turning around exposing her soaked breasts. "Here I wanna wash you now," she insisted shuffling behind her, moving Ryuko closer to the showerhead below.

Satsuki took her slim fingers and tilted her sister's head backwards. After leaving a brief peck on her forehead, Satsuki grabbed the nearby hair conditioner and scrubbed the scalp of Ryuko's hair.

The relaxing sensations of Satsuki's movements put Ryuko completely at ease, shutting her eyes allowing to fully feel her head massage and the tepid downpour washing over her not allowing her sight to deceive her.

Satsuki placed Ryuko's head in an upright position and turned her around. The two sisters were now facing each other only the drizzle of water separating the two. Biting her lip, Ryuko reached her hand to her beloved's sudsy hands and held it tightly.

"I'm gonna miss you," she exclaimed gripping the hand tightly. With no hesitation Satsuki brought her sister's hand to her lips and gently smooched her knuckles.

"Me too," she whispered leaning in for a tender locking of lips. Ryuko's hand almost instinctively began to slowly trail down Satsuki's midsection.

The sudden touch made Satsuki moan as her tongue was swirling inside Ryuko's mouth. Ryuko noticing what she was doing broke the kiss immediately. "Shit sorry, I-I didn't know what-"

Satsuki hushed her, sealing her lips with her index finger. "I trust you, touch me Ryuko," she assured guiding Ryuko's palm to her inner thigh.

"I-I don't know how…" Ryuko gasped as her palm shook on her thigh.

"Relax, I'll help you," Satsuki hushed kissing the cheek of her anxious lover. She took her sister's hand and brushed them against her own slit. With her free hand she grabbed her middle and index finger and inserted them inside her own entrance. "Just move your fingers inside me that's all you have to do," Satsuki instructed letting out sighs of pleasure.

Ryuko obliged now trying to get her bearings and fully exploring the insides of Satsuki's pussy. "Is this good?" she asked eyes still gazing at her sister's lower parts. Satsuki answered by smacking her lips with her own.

"Keep going," Satsuki grunted breaking the kiss before assaulting her younger sister's lips once more. As Ryuko's eyes were shut as they made out, Satsuki had one eye open and noticed that Ryuko's thighs were rubbing against each other. "Can I touch you?" Satsuki asked breaking the kiss once more.

"Please," Ryuko answered spreading her burning thighs. Satsuki reached her arm around Ryuko gliding her hand along her back eventually cupping her sister's soft ass making her squeak Satsuki's favourite noise.

The dark haired woman ran her hand along her inner thigh plunging her two fingers inside of her sister as her thumb flicks with her clit. This pleasure Ryuko literally dreamed almost brought tears to her cobalt eyes letting out a small cry. Satsuki placed her free hand on her sister's cheek, "Shh…shhh keep going," Satsuki urged not wanting Ryuko to abandon her initial vocation.

Trying to outdo her sister Ryuko quickened her pace and with her other hand. She played with her sister's sensitive bud flicking it ferociously. The sibling rivalry engrained in their DNA was taken into effect as the two were trying to make the other one climax first. Both engaging in dirty tactics such as Ryuko biting down on her sister's nipple and Satsuki sticking her free pinkie up Ryuko's tight butthole.

In the end it was a neck and neck race with both of them feeling the building up inside of them at the same time.

"Ah…Ryuko!"

"S…Sat-"

"Satsuki-chan! I'm home!" a high-pitched voice echoed outside of the bathroom. The pair slipped and tumbled on the floor of the shower. While cursing in loud whispers the sisters got back to their feet and turned off the shower.

"Satsuki-sama are you home?" Nonon asked outside of the bathroom.

"I'm just finishing my shower now Nonon, umm…I'll be out in a few minutes," she answered as she and Ryuko stepped out of the shower. Satsuki bent down in front of the door looking through the keyhole searching for her unexpected roommate. "She's going to her room," she quipped turning back to Ryuko.

"Oi, is the invader gone?" Nonon asked turning back at the bathroom door.

"I'm the invader? Why I oughta-" Ryuko began before Satsuki's palm smacked her lips shut.

"Ryuko…has gone…to the…coffee shop to grab a quick meal for her ride home," she lied resisting to remove her hand from her sister's hand when she began licking it.

"Why couldn't the idiot just buy something at the train station?" she asked still looking at her room. Ryuko at this point was screaming into Satsuki's hand.

Taking her second hand she applied a firmer grasp to Ryuko's silence. "Because…the train station's snacks are too expensive…" she lied once more.

"Oh…I guess that makes sense," Nonon observed. "Well I'm fucking starving I'm gonna cook up some eggs for us and maybe the runt too," she declared making her way down the hall to the kitchen.

Once Nonon was out of her sight Satsuki removed her grip on Ryuko's clamours. "Runt!? The world's smallest fucking pianist calls me a runt!" she breathed loudly not wanting Nonon to hear her.

"She doesn't play the piano she's a-"

"I don't give a fuck!" Ryuko interrupted, "That was way too close," Ryuko sighed once more leaning back on the tiled floor.

"What was?" Satsuki asked with a smirk.

"What do you mean wha-Oh ha-ha very fucking funny," Ryuko sneered before Satsuki threw a long towel at her.

"Get up we need to sneak past her," Satsuki declared eyeing the keyhole once more finding no sign of the pink haired woman.

Ryuko stood back up wrapping the towel around her. "Well how are we gonna pull that off Mega-Brows?" she asked.

"You're shorter than me just walk behind me the door is only a few feet away," she planned.

"I'm not that short!" Ryuko pouted throwing a rubber duck at the back of her sister's head.

"I apologise, we were both denied of our climaxes and now we're stressed, just follow-"

"Euch…you don't have to make it sound so technical," Ryuko gagged wrapping her arms over her stomach. "Fine let's move," she conceded hiding herself behind Satsuki's scarred back which was covered by her robe.

Satsuki poked her head out of the door inspecting down the hall where the kitchen was as Nonon began making breakfast inside. "Clear," the elder sister whispered stepping outside the door followed by Ryuko. Satsuki advanced to her room making silent footsteps with Ryuko following a duplicate pattern. "We're almost there just a few more step-"

"Oh you're finished in there thank god I need to take a piss" Nonon groaned walking through the corridor. Satsuki and Ryuko stood frozen as Nonon crept closer to them with every step she took. Their heartbeats raced and their blood turned icy cold.

"We're fucked we're so…so fucked this is all my fault my big dumb-"

"Oi Nonon what's that behind you?" Satsuki asked calmly pointing her finger at her longest ally.

"Behind me?" Nonon repeated turning around only finding the closed front door and can only hear sizzling of her eggs cooking in the kitchen. She turned back around at Satsuki who was now leaning on Nonon's bedroom door, much to the musician's confusion.

"Oh apologies, I must be seeing things," Satsuki breathed keeping her composure.

"You're acting really weird Satsuki-chan, what did that underachiever do to you for the past week?" Nonon asked tilting her head.

"Oh so many things, to keep things interesting," Satsuki giggled as Nonon walked past her. As soon as the bathroom door closed. In one swift motion Satsuki opened the bedroom door and hoisted her sister up back on her feet grumbling with pain.

"Did ya have to kick me like that?" she grunted rubbing her midsection.

"Sorry I panicked, come on," she insisted grabbing her arm and hastily made their way into Satsuki's room.

As Ryuko flopped on the soft mattress feeling her aches slowly ebbing away, Satsuki sat at her dressing table and began drying her hair. Ryuko turned around and watched the angelic sight of her sister combing and moulding her short ebony hair. The technique she displayed signified years of repeated motions, achieving the perfect silky, straight and smooth hairstyle her sister accompanied regardless of length.

"Ryuko?" Satsuki asked turning off her hairdryer still gazing at her own reflection.

"Yeah?" Ryuko breathed not feeling the pain Satsuki inflicted earlier anymore.

"Can I do your hair?" she proposed turning around with a gentle smile.

"Is this part of your 'sister complex'?" Ryuko asked raising an eyebrow.

Satsuki looked down for a short period of time still smiling thinking of an answer, before tilting her head back up facing Ryuko. "Maybe, but another part of it is my desire to tame that unruly mane of yours."

"I thought you like my hair," Ryuko jested twirling her lone red strand.

"I don't like your hair, I love it now come on," she decaled standing up and patting the warm empty seat under the dressing table. "Please for me?" she pressed.

Ryuko sighed and accepted her partner's offer as she sits on the cushion of the seat. The only sound heard in the room was the blast of the hairdryer parching Ryuko's navy hair. A sudden flush of a toilet echoed next door but it didn't spur the moment. It was a peaceful moment between the two that ended a little too quickly for Ryuko as Satsuki applies the finishing touches.

"There…is it a bit too ostentatious?" Satsuki winced looking at Ryuko's reflection. Ryuko looked at it too, it was a tad bit straight for her liking except for her red fiber that stood wavy and isolated among the navy forest it was surrounded in.

"I don't what the fuck Austin-whatever is but I really like it Sats, thanks for that," she praised taking Satsuki's fist and kissed her pale knuckles.

Satsuki looked down at the warm smile of her sister as she rubs her hand. Looking back up the reflection she notices the clock alongside the mirror, provoking a frown. "We better get dressed you're gonna be late," she wistfully whispered pulling her hand from her sister's grip.

"Yeah," Ryuko weakly replied getting up preparing for another stealth mission in getting her clothes from Nonon's room.


"You don't have to come with me, the station is like a ten minute walk" Ryuko exclaimed.

"But I want to come with you just give me a few more minutes and we'll be on our way," Satsuki insisted opening her wardrobe of nearly infinite outfits.

Ryuko knowing her track record of arguments she had with Satsuki decided to let her partner have her way. She stepped outside noticing that Nonon was watching television outside the corridor. Engaging in what would be her third attempt at trying not to get spotted by Nonon, Ryuko crouched down and silently crawled behind the couch. Ryuko looked back watching Nonon reading a text making her burst out a loud cackle that would make a witch's skin crawl. Using this opportunity Ryuko swiftly opened the front door and leapt outside closing the door once more once she was through.

As her giggling began to pacify Nonon heard a loud knocking coming from the front door. She opens the door finding a nearly out of breath of Ryuko.

"Wassup?"

"Satsuki-chan packed away your shit and left it in her room," she explained walking away back on the couch beginning to reply a text message. Ryuko felt slightly annoyed by the unnecessary lack of greeting, however she didn't expect anything less from her half-pint companion.

"Oi Jakuzure," Ryuko called out shutting the door behind her.

"What do ya want you little turd?" retorted, still gazing at her phone.

"I want to say, thank you," Ryuko replied. Nonon dropped her phone almost making the screen crack. The musician slowly turned with a look of bewilderment on her face.

"Th-thank me…for what?"

"Satsuki and I caught up a lot in the past week and she would always say how you and the other guys stood by her through everything. With you being her oldest friend…look I'm not good at this shit," Ryuko admitted scratching the back of her head. "Look what I'm trying to say is," she started making her way to the couch Nonon was sitting in.

As Nonon's jaw was wide open in shock Ryuko bent down and gave Nonon a brief hug. "Thank you for being there for her Nonon, when I wasn't," Ryuko finished enjoying the satisfaction of the pink-haired woman's dumbfounded expression.

"Are you ready Ryuko?" an angelic voice called behind Nonon.

"Yeah I'm ready, see ya shrimp," Ryuko waved off as she took her luggage from her sister's grasp. Ryuko followed Satsuki out the door until she heard her surname being called out.

"Matoi…you're welcome and…thanks for not burning the place down," she lauded with a genuine smile.

"Well I did break your mirror,"

"Wait what?" Nonon yelped rushing to the bathroom. "Oh my god how did I not fucking notice this before, Matoi you stupid fucking cu-" Nonon ranted before Ryuko closed the front door.

"Ryuko come on!" Satsuki urged at the top of the stairs. Ryuko took one final look at the three numbers that changed her life and followed Satsuki sown the stairs.

914


Ryuko and Satsuki were sitting on a bench watching the snow slowly plummet one by one onto the railroad tracks as they're fortunately sheltered by a metallic platform being blanketed by the snowy onslaught.

"There's your ride," Satsuki breathed with a puff of chilly smoke escaping her throat. The pair stood up together and waited for the train to make its halt. Feeling her heart race faster Ryuko grabbed on to Satsuki's hand. "Don't worry, I'll call you every day and you're always welcome to talk to me or visit whenever you want," Satsuki assured.

Feeling tears beginning to swell around her eyes she leapt on to Satsuki head first into her sister's neck. "I don't want to leave," she pleaded tightening the grip of her arms wrapping around her lover.

Instead of returning her sister's embrace Satsuki took the gift Ryuko gave her and wrapped both herself and Ryuko's necks with the warm woollen scarf. Ryuko slightly confused by her sister's actions paused her weeping and looked at Satsuki whose nose was touching her own.

"I don't want you to leave either, but I need you to work hard for the both of us okay," she persuaded with rosy cheeks that emanated from the mixture of the hue from the scarf and of her own flustered accord. "I'll always be here for you, I love you Ryuko," she whispered giving her sister one last kiss that would satisfy them for a lifetime while the wintry flakes of snow fell on top of them.

"I know, I love you too Sats," Ryuko replied smiling showing no signs of tears in her eyes. She gently tied the scarf around her girlfriend and made her way into the passenger car. She scouted for the closest window seat that she could see Satsuki in and pounced on it like a predator. She looked outside and saw Satsuki staring blankly at the door gripping her scarf tightly.

Ryuko knocked on the glass loudly hoping that Satsuki would see, however it was all to no avail. As soon as the doors shut Satsuki turned around and marched her way back home in a hasty pace. Ryuko placed her hand on the glass as if she was trying to reach out to Satsuki, unfortunately the longer hand was on the glass the farther Satsuki walked away before disappearing,

The red-streaked girl turned around and grasped on to the train handle on top of her as the train shifted violently, beginning its journey to Kanagawa.


You held my hand so tight
We watched the stars all night
But still I realize
There's something in your eyes.

The way you say you love me
And that we are meant to be
Is killing every piece of me
If you could only see.

There's no doubt you really care
But it's your heart you can never share
And though you tried your best to love me
It's just not meant to be and so I set you free.

It's hard for me to let go
But it's the only way I know
To spare you from suffering
And to save my heart from dying.

It's true you want my happiness
But it's time to be honest
And as much as it hurts I'm going to say it now
It's time for us to break our vows.

Still I thank you for everything
And it's your love I'll forever be missing
And now that I have to go
Remember what we had was never a show.

I love you dear and so I fear
You'll be miserable if I am near
So take this chance and explore the world
Let your heart be your sword!

Goodbye my love and be happy
I'll be fine you have nothing to worry
Take her hand and you will see,
That I was never your destiny
