Rena stared back into Jurina's eyes before giving her a hungry kiss. The hungry kiss gradually lessened and it became a soft kiss. When they parted, their lips breezed over each others, not truly leaving one another's warmth. As they stayed like that, Rena reached for the shirt and put it on Jurina. She then led Jurina over to the bed, sat down against the wall and pillows, and pulled Jurina down to sit between her legs. She then turned on her stereo and put on some piano music. As they sat there enjoying the music, Rena started to play with Jurina's fingers again. Jurina started to giggle when she tickled her palm and laughed when she blew into her ear.
"What's wrong Jurina-san? Why are you laughing?"
"Haha because! You're hahaha tickling haha me! And stop calling me Jurina-san! It's too formal!"
"Well then you stop calling me senpai! Jurina-chan is acting too formal to me too!"
"Well how about Rena-san and Ren-san?"
"No… still wayyy too formal."
"Rena…-chan and… Ren-kun?"
"That's better!"
Rena smiled at her before poking her in the side making Jurina squirm. Jurina then tried to tickle Rena while Rena tried her best to block. They tussled on the bed for a few minutes before settling down, Rena laying on her back while Jurina laid partially on top of her while avoiding the injured arm. As Jurina lay there, she saw the bandages that covered the deep cut on Rena's arm and the small gauze that covered the small cut on Rena's face. As she listened to the soothing piano music, she unconsciously began to stroke the covered wound. Rena looked down at Jurina curiously.
"It's… all my fault. It's my fault that you got hurt… my fault that I have caused so much trouble… my fa—"
She was cut short but Rena grabbing her hand lightly and giving her a silencing kiss. As Rena parted, she felt something warm on her cheek and noticed that Jurina was once again crying. She wiped the tears away and kissed her on the cheek.
"Shhh… don't cry… it's not your fault. I did what I had to and none of it was your fault. It was their fault that they did such a thing to you… stop saying it is your fault. I'll do anything for you just to keep you safe and happy."
Jurina only nodded and buried her face into Rena's chest. Rena used a controller and turned off the stereo and lights while pulling the blankets up around them. For a few weeks, they continued with their regular lives. Both of their bruises slowly healed and the cut on Rena's arm healed and turned into a faint scar. When they saw Rena with a bandaged arm, many of the girls all screamed and cried while asking him how he was hurt and who did it but he just ignored them and held onto Jurina's hand. Both Kosuke and Ren made it official to the school that they were with Anna and Jurina respectively by asking the girls out to a dance in front of the whole school during an assembly. Jurina stuttered and turned bright red when handsome gentleman Ren walked up and handed her a huge bouquet of roses with sakura petals falling around them and asked her to the dance. When she said yes, he picked her up, twirled her around, and placed a quick kiss on her cheek. Anna was beyond happy as she was nearly crying when pretty boy Kosuke walked up with a bouquet of carnations and had rose petals falling around them, got on one knee, winked at her, and asked her to the dance. She jumped with joy and hugged him while he was still on one knee making it look like he proposed. He then got up and kissed her right in front of everyone. Ren and Jurina were breaking ribs laughing while watching the girls dying in the audience, knowing that their chances with the two princes were basically zero. After the extravagant assembly, the whole school was in an uproar. The boys kept pestering Kosuke and Ren about why they would choose such lowly girls while the girls pestered the boys to change their minds and choose one of them. The boys both ignored them and continued walking with their respective girlfriends. After a while, the people settled down and left them alone but they still did googly eyes at the boys and sent hate messages and such to the girls. The boys, however, made sure that all the messages sent were always intercepted or if not, they would always be there to confirm that it was not true. The night of the dance came along and the boys both dressed up nicely. Ren had a black tux with a tie while Kosuke had a black tux with a bow tie. They sat in the living room, waiting for their girlfriends to come down from their rooms. Anna was the first to come down. As she came down, Kosuke stood up and stared at her in awe. She wore a light pink dress that fell down to just above her knees. Her hair was tied up in a simple French braid. As she reached the end the stairs, he walked over and tied dark pink rose corsage with glitter on it around her wrist. She smiled at him and thanked him with a kiss. They stood to the side as Jurina walked down the stairs. As she walked, Ren was sure he forgot how to breathe. She wore a silk red dress that reached her ankles but had a slit on the left side that went up to her mid thigh. Her hair was pinned up with a pin that Ren had given to her when she told him she liked it while they were shopping. She had let a few strands loose so they framed her face perfectly. He walked up and gave her a crimson colored rose corsage that had fake water drops on it that glittered in the light.
"It's beautiful… Ren-kun. Thank you."
"You're very welcome Jurina-chan… always for you."
The boys both held out their arms and led the girls outside where a limo was waiting to take them to the place the dance was held. The night went on with plenty of dancing and chatting mixed with jealous girls trying to get in the way. But no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't separate the little four person group. The dance ended at midnight and the group got into their limo. The boys were all smiles while the girls were giggling and laughing at everything. All the fun that they had recently had gotten to their head and they were on a sugar rush. However, once they stepped into the house, the girls both collapsed and the boys had to catch them. Anna was practically living with them now that her parents either go on business trips or go out on vacation but when they are home, she stays with them for a while. They wholly approve of her relationship with Kosuke but they don't know his secret. Both Anna and Kosuke had decided to tell them later on about it. Kosuke carried Anna up to his room and disappeared for a few minutes. He came back down later as Kumi and got Anna a glass of water.
"I think she's had too much fun. She's all tired and sleepy right now."
"Is Anna-chan still giggling like earlier about how Ren-kun's hair looked funny?"
"Wha-?"
"No she stopped."
Kumi quickly ran back to her lover with the glass of water and closed the door. Ren took off the wig and turned to Jurina. She gave Jurina a questioning look and Jurina merely shrugged looked sheepish.
"That's what she said… I had no part in it I swear Rena-chan!"
"Mhmmm sureee…"
"It's trueeee!"
As they bantered, they suddenly heard a loud thump from Kumi's room so they ran up and Rena knocked on the door hard.
"Kumi… Anna-san! Are you two alright?"
At first, there was no reply until they heard a seemingly breathless Kumi's voice and a stifled giggle… most likely Anna's.
"Y-yea… we're f-fine."
Rena and Jurina looked at each other and shrugged. Who knows what's going on in there… they didn't… that's for sure. They went back to the bedroom for a goodnight sleep since tomorrow would be a day off which will head into a long weekend.
