A/N: Hey guys, it's your buddy The Author, and I have a few things that I want to talk to you guys about before we start this chapter.

Wow, that came off way more serious than I thought it would…sorry about that one.

Anyways, what I really came to talk to you about is how I'm gonna change things up around here. These changes may or may not be seen as an inconvenience, but I can hope they won't.

I'm starting to organize myself better (believe it or not), and as such, I figured I should keep you guys in the loop. I don't want to stray back to my old ways of being messy, disorganized, and wrought with faults (well, more than I currently have now, but you get the picture).

So, to keep you guys in said loop, I'm now going to post any upcoming fictions I have in my profile, as well as any important changes that I'm making. And although I tend to sway towards the unorthodox end of the spectrum when it comes to organizing theses things, let me assure you I'll try and keep that to a minimum.

Also, I've noticed that some people are in the gray/grey on their opinions about this fiction ever since the little mishap we had with a certain chapter whose name shall not be spoken.

Therefore, I extend only my deepest and most heartfelt thanks to those of you who have stuck around for this long, and I only hope that you will stay with me for a little while longer. This fiction's ending is sadly drawing near…

On that note, let's abandon this little note of sorrow, and run away instead to a more lighthearted environment, eh? Onward!

(And don't worry, I'm internally shaming myself for being perhaps the only person who gets cheeky and plays a personal word game when it's supposed to be a serious and heartfelt A/N…Ah, whatever…)

Nonon sat at the table, Ryuko by the window, their current situation plagued by an awkward and seemingly eternal silence. After Nonon had gone all table-top-proximity-attack on Ryuko, and Ryuko had immediately afterwards bolted up out of her seat and wandered over to the window for a her own reasons, Nonon took the hint and took her place (if only for the moment).

However, unbeknownst to Nonon, Ryuko's 'hint' was actually her going to the window to calm the blush that had somehow eluded Nonon's superlative detective skills. Ryuko distinctly remembered her rush to the window, and everything she had mulled over while she was over there…

[5 Minutes Ago…]

Ryuko was helpless but to make the smallest of squeaking noises at the situation. There she was, a beautiful and sexy woman, on all fours no less, right before Ryuko, their faces mere inches apart, and her peachy pink lips begging to be graced by the pleasure of Ryuko's more gruff (yet still soft) counterparts.

Nonon cocked her head to the side out of confusion, and inquired, "Hm? Is something the matter?" as she inched her face ever closer to Ryuko's. At this distance, Ryuko could feel the warm air that escaped Nonon's lips in small, short heaves.

"Uh…" Ryuko managed to say before drawing back just the slightest bit, jostling her raven locks ever so slightly.

"What's wrong?" Nonon inquired as she compensated for the distance that Ryuko had put between them, even to the point of overcompensation, "Do you have a fever or something?" Nonon reached out her hand to place the back of it to Ryuko's forehead, but before she could act quick enough, Ryuko fell backwards out of her chair, creating a rather loud thud as she toppled. Nonon shrieked out of concern for her, and peeked over the table, still on all fours, and said, "Sorry…"

Ryuko's mind instantly came alive with thoughts of how she was unsure about this girl's advances, if they could even be classified as that, and figured she should play it safe.

"O-Oh, it ain't yer fault," Ryuko erratically replied as she rose up from the ground, "I was just er…" Ryuko's eyes quickly analyzed her surroundings until they fell upon the beautiful landscape outside, "I was just lookin' out the window fer a sec there and got a little sidetracked," Ryuko took the opportunity that was created by this hopeless excuse for an excuse to dash over to the window and assume a position such that she appeared to be miring at the outside. However, it was at that moment that the gray and black clouds that had been accumulating over the past few minutes burst, and a rainstorm commenced. Crackling of thunder and lighting echoed across the land and through the open windows, and rain began to pellet the ground before the vicious wind kicked in and began to direct the rain through the storm screens on the windows. Ryuko ended up getting her hand and sweatshirt significantly wet in sacrifice of this endeavor.

"Uh…" Nonon unconfidently began as Ryuko continued to merrily linger by the open window, "You like thunderstorms?"

"Y-Yeah, 'course I do!" Ryuko stammered in response as she spun around, drenching the back of her sweatshirt in the process as she flashed a 'thumbs-up' pose and an extremely forced smile. At that very same instant, a crack of thunder came, causing both girls to jump simultaneously. Ryuko emitted a high pitched yelp, and Nonon relieved herself of her all-fours posture and instead assuming a crisscross sitting position, wrapping her arms around herself and burying her head in them.

Ryuko took note of the behavior and relieved her own shocked appearance, and moved forward towards Nonon as she inquired, "Hey, are you…scared of thunderstorms?"

Nonon's head shot out from her arms, and she retorted, "I could ask the same thing to you! They probably heard that shriek all the way down the block!"

Ryuko blushed at the thought of her scream, and simply spun around to face outside and replied, "Well, if that's how you feel!…"

[Present]

And the two haven't spoken a word to one another since…

Ryuko twiddled her sole streak of red while Nonon toyed with her own locks, the two still not saying anything to one another.

'Well great,' Nonon thought to herself as she gazed a the soaked sentinel that was Ryuko, 'there go my chances. The dates I had planned, the trip for Spring Break, the wedding in a nice chapel, PFFT!' As Nonon uttered that mental spiel, complete onomatopoeia, she gazed onward at Ryuko who had her own thoughts in mind.

Ryuko gazed onwards as the thunderstorm continued to drench her clothes straight through, and flood the windowsills while it was at it. She contemplated everything she had just done, and told herself, 'Nice work Matoi, you can't foul up enough chances, can ya? You get a chance to be near a pretty little girl like that n' whaddya do? Ya go off with that big mouth o' yers…' Ryuko heaved a heavy sigh right as the phone on Aikuro's desk began to ring. Both parties stared at it for awhile before they mutually decided to get up to pick it up from their respective positions. However, they both reached the phone at the same moment, bringing their hands into contact momentarily. They both looked up from their positions, their faces both flushed as they allowed their hands to hover mere centimeters over the phone. After a second or two, Ryuko chuckled and flashed that charmingly tomboyish smile of hers before picking up the phone.

"Hello?" Ryuko said as she put the plastic phone on her ear.

"Yo, Ryuko!" Aikuro's obviously tipsy voice called from the other end of the line, Ryuko could hear the classic rock blaring mixed with the clamor of the crowd in the background. "How about that storm, eh?" As Aikuro said that, a crack of thunder came across, and Ryuko felt Nonon's hand clasp firmly around hers.

Ryuko smiled at the move from Nonon, and replied, "Yeah, it's really…" Ryuko locked eyes with Nonon and her smile broadened, "something…"

"Eh? Why the lingering there little Matoi?" Aikuro inquired, "Somethin' happenin' there with that Jak-u-off or whatever her name was?"

"It's Jakuzure," Ryuko firmly corrected as she cast an angry glance at the phone, "and maybe there is, maybe there isn't. Wouldn't matter t'some nudist hobo like yerself!"

"Aww, now that's low, even for you, Ryuuga!" Aikuro slurred in reply.

"Nudist hobo…?" Nonon said to herself as she began to think about that one, "Hey, don't tell me he's the same guy who-" thankfully Nonon got cut off by Ryuko's conversation with Aikuro, or else she would've compromised herself.

"Ryuko, ya dense prick!" Ryuko snapped back at Aikuro, "And where are you anyways?"

"Oh! I'm still at Checker Records!" Aikuro exclaimed unnecessarily loudly, causing Ryuko to remove the phone from her ear momentarily, "A bunch of us guys busted out the booze and we've just been maxin' and chillaxin' while Mother Nature does her thing, man!" His voice was in a tone that sounded exactly like that of your stereotypical flower child.

"No one says 'chillaxin'' anymore, Mikisugi," Ryuko playfully replied, her smile darkening to one of sarcasm as she spewed those words, "and I thought you agreed, no more drinking when you're on duty. You remember what happened last March?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, Plank Sleeper!" Aikuro retorted loud enough for even Nonon to hear.

"Sh-Sh-Shut up!" Ryuko stammered in reply as her blush intensified even more, "When's yer ass gettin' back here?"

Aikuro let out a raucous cackle as he said, "About that, I'm not comin' back."

"What?" Ryuko inquired, thoroughly surprised. A low rumble of thunder arrived with her inquiry, and Ryuko felt Nonon's hand clasp tight again.

"I mean have you seen the storm reports?" Aikuro replied.

"N-No, why?" Ryuko responded, the concern in her voice clearly evident.

"They say this storm's gonna last until late tonight!" Aikuro called back, unknowingly elevating his voice loud enough that Nonon heard, "Listen, it's just chill at the school until the Big Mama takes her chill pill, and then you'll be good to peace."

"It's disturbing how laxly y'say that…" Ryuko initially muttered in reply, her mind already racing with millions of thoughts that each went off like firecrackers of varying magnitudes at that statement.

'S-S-So…I'm…' Ryuko thought, doing her best to avoid eye contact with Nonon and hopelessly failing.

'I'm…alone with her…' Nonon thought in a pining tone as she involuntarily allowed her gaze towards Ryuko to become 60% more seductive.

Ryuko didn't notice Nonon's enticing glare, and instead continued her conversation with Aikuro. "So, just leave when the storm blows over?"

"That's what I said, soul sister!" Aikuro happily responded as he uttered yet another booming laugh. After he calmed down, he said, "Anyways, take it easy little dude!" before hanging up.

"I'm a woman, damnit!" Ryuko sharply corrected, but didn't make it in time for Aikuro to hear. It wouldn't have mattered much to Aikuro with how out of it he was, but it would've mattered to Ryuko at least. After Ryuko set the phone down, she made her first eye contact with Nonon after awhile, and saw that seductive gaze of hers. Her lipid and full eyes were locked solely on Ryuko, and a playful smile danced upon those lush lips of her. With the way she was leaned over the desk, her shirt drooped just enough for Ryuko to catch a satisfying glimpse down it and permitted her to gaze upon the tops of Nonon's enrapturing breasts. Nonon involuntarily allowed her petite light-pink tongue to rear its tip, and run itself in an enamoring manner across her perfectly glossed lips.

Ryuko noticed this temptress' behavior, and inquired, "Hey, you ok?"

Nonon awakened from the fantasy she had become entranced in, and straightened herself up, her hand still firmly intertwined with Ryuko's, as she said, "O-Of course!"

Ryuko looked down at their locked hands and grinned a cheeky grin as she said, "Oh?" and motioned with her head towards them.

Nonon immediately took notice of this and blushed at the truth, but didn't break the two intertwined members either. She instead scoffed at Ryuko's smug grin and replied, "You have a grin painfully similar to Uzu's…"

"There's that guy's name again," Ryuko remarked out of jocularity, "guy must be somethin'…"

"Oh he's something…" Nonon concurred as she thought back on all of the memories she had with Uzu, and all the banter they had spewed collectively, "a little pissant monkey, that's what…" she muttered under her breath.

"What was that?" Ryuko inquired as she cupped her right hand over her right ear, tilted her head accordingly, and leaned in towards Nonon.

"Ah, nothing." Nonon remarked dismissively. As Ryuko reassumed her normal posture, Nonon's eyes happened to drift downwards, and Nonon was instantly flushed redder than she had been in a long time. She immediately averted her gaze from Ryuko to the thunderstorm outside.

Ryuko cocked her head to the side at this unusual behavior from Nonon, and inquired, "Something wrong?"

Nonon was hesitant to say anything, but when she spoke, her tone was overcome with a bizarre mix between elation and embarrassment, "C-Clothes…s-see…"

"Clothes? See? I don't-" Ryuko began, genuinely confused as to what Nonon was saying until she took a second to look down. She realized that all that standing by the window had thoroughly drenched her shirt straight through. Ryuko remembered that she had taken off her sweatshirt after standing by the window had gotten it too wet to be comfortable, but didn't realize that her shirt would be so transparent upon coming into contact with water. And transparent it was, for there, perfectly exposed, was Ryuko's slim, toned belly, accompanied by her well-defined collarbones and plump breasts that were still covered by her blue-and-white-striped bra. Ryuko became just as flushed as Nonon for a moment as she responded, "Oh…" eliciting the smallest of head nods from Nonon. However, after a few seconds, Ryuko began to chuckle at the whole ordeal, and extended her free hand out towards Nonon. Grabbing her by her delicate jaw, Ryuko turned her head back to face her, the let go of her hand before she did what Nonon could never have seen coming.

Ryuko reached her hands down to the edges of the hem of her shirt, firmly grasped them, then, after a deep breath, lifted it up and over her head, tossing it haphazardly into the corner of the room, revealing her alluring features. And if this wasn't enough for Nonon, Ryuko used those same delicate yet gruff hands to reach behind herself, grab the tips of the latch on her bra, and undo them. She rolled her shoulders enough to allow the straps to fall, and soon the bra itself came to float gently down to the linoleum floor. Ryuko's enticing breasts were now in full view, and they were just as perfect as Nonon had envisioned them. Their curvature was second to none, and her nipples had perfectly light red aureolas, and their tips were already showing signs of becoming erect, and it sure as hell wasn't from the chill in the room. Ryuko smiled at Nonon and said, "Something wrong with this?"

At this point, it was taking every bit of strength latent within every fiber of Nonon's being to not break out in a vicious nosebleed and collapse from both arousal and blood loss. Nonon was helpless but to stammer out light, squeaky, incoherent noises, but Ryuko took the initiative to help her.

Extending her left hand and grabbing Nonon's right hand by the wrist, she guided it slowly towards her chest before stopping before her hand was just mere centimeters above Ryuko's left breast, as if to ask for Nonon's consent. Nonon quivered slightly, but gave Ryuko a nod nonetheless, and Ryuko smiled in reply. She moved her hand that much closer, until it was gently grasping Ryuko's breast, her hard and firm nipple like a smooth stone in Nonon's palm. Nonon grasped firmer, and carefully massaged Ryuko's stunning member, causing Ryuko's face to tense up and alternated between various expression of pleasure and arousal before relieving her hand of her position and shooing Ryuko's hand away, Nonon was confident in what she wanted to do.

'Déjà vu…' Nonon thought to herself as things proceeded.

She carefully traced Ryuko's bust, her eyes aglow with captivation the entire time, before returning to her original position, and equally as carefully tracing Ryuko's nipple. When she reached the tip, she flicked it back and forth, causing Ryuko to moan silently. Nonon took glee in this, and began to do it more aggressively before she stopped and grabbed the full mass of Ryuko's breast again. She could feel the heat of arousal and embarrassment emanating from Ryuko, but cast a reassuring look at her before she slid her hand lower such that Ryuko's nipple's tip was now lodged in between her middle and ring fingers. Using this to her advantage, she resumed her massage-esque routine, now more firm and animalistic about her motions, ensuring that she was delivering equal action to both Ryuko's breast and nipple. By now she was also mirroring this motion with her other hand, and Ryuko found herself using her own hands to grasp the finely polished desk beneath her firmly in order to prevent herself from collapsing.

The duo wasn't quite sure how long they had been doing this, but it apparently lasted for quite awhile, since the phone beneath them began ringing again. The electronic ring echoed throughout the classroom, bringing Nonon and Ryuko's interactions to a grinding halt. They didn't say anything, just gazed on at the phone for a few minutes before Ryuko worked up the initiative to pick it up and answer. She was still gasping from her experience, but managed to work up a, "Hello?"

"Yo! Ryuko!" Aikuro's cheery voice called from the other end of the line.

"Oh, it's you, Aikuro…" Ryuko responded in an unamused tone.

"Yeah it is! Anyways, I was just wondering if you guys had bounced outta the establishment." Aikuro replied.

"Well of course not, it's-" Ryuko began as she gestured outside but then realized that her and Nonon had been going at it long enough that the rain had now softened up to only a mild downpour. "Oh…"

"Yeah, we're in the eye of the storm right now," Aikuro explained, "but I don't know how long it's gonna last, so I'm bustin outta my space, and I suggest you two do the same."

"Y-Yeah…alright then…" Ryuko replied as she hung up. She then locked morose eyes with Nonon before she said, "It looks like we gotta save the rest until another time…"

Nonon frowned at Ryuko, but obliged and removed her hands from her gorgeous mounds. Ryuko smiled and kissed Nonon's hand as it was moving back before picking up her bra and shirt and getting dressed again. All the while, Nonon was watching on, the hand that Ryuko kissed pressed firmly against her mouth.

Once Ryuko was dressed, Ryuko said, "Y'know, I did say 'another time'."

Nonon snapped herself out of her pity state, and replied, "S-So…you wanna…schedule a date or something?"

"That sounds about right." Ryuko said as she flashed a smile and produced a phone from her pocket.

Nonon was surprised that Ryuko had a phone, given her housing situation, but dismissed it and replied, "Alright, what's your number."

The duo rattled off their individual numbers, logging one another in their contacts and then smiling and conferring plans about a date. Ryuko had several ideas, but Nonon's predetermined plans brought heat to the discussion. After a while of playful bickering, Nonon said, "I'll just text you later, alright?"

"Sounds good!" Ryuko replied as she hugged Nonon tightly, her embrace warm, firm, and sweet-smelling. She had spent so much time around the Sandalwood incense on the desk that her clothes were stained with its spicy scent. Ryuko and Nonon locked eyes once again before bringing their lips together in a soft, tender kiss. They held the kiss for 7 seconds before breaking it, and Nonon smiled before waving 'goodbye' to Ryuko and leaving.

Nonon pranced down the halls, giddy as she could be as she checked her messages and missed calls. There were many from Hōka that all said something to the accord of:

SAVE US PLEASE DEAR GOD SHE'S GOING TO KILL US

or something like that. She figured she'd better check to see if they were still alive, and texted Hōka:

Did the Dog and the Monkey kick the bucket?

After a few seconds, her phone emitted a notification ping, and sure enough, Hōka had responded:

The Dog is still alive, the Monkey as well (unfortunately), and Satan's incarnate is pacified for the time being…

Nonon was unsure what 'pacified' meant in this sense, but dismissed its presence as another message came from Hōka that said:

So how did things go?

Nonon smiled at something Hōka said for once and replied:

Perfect. Just like you said it would.

It didn't take Hōka long to reply:

What did I tell you? I knew Matoi would be in detention today of all days…

Nonon huffed at Hōka's response, and said:

Yeah, yeah, whatever…

However, it was then that Hōka sent her a message that brought Nonon face to face with grim reality…

However, you do realize that…now it's her turn…

"Ah yes…" Satsuki mused to herself as she lay in her bed in only a fine silk bathrobe, "now it's my turn to take the stage…"
