Disclaimer: I don't own Mai Hime (wish I did but I don't *sadness* I wish that could change that but I can't *sigh*)
Anyway, sorry for the late update, I apologise profusely for its lateness and I hope for my reader's forgiveness, I'll let you get on with reading the chapter now though.
Chapter 12 – Shopping and Dates part 2
Youko's PV
The feel of Midori's tongue against my own was electric, like a current flowing through me it was awakening something and it felt so damn good that I let it. Her nails scratching down my ribs gently enough not to break the skin but hard enough to cause a bit of pain, causing me to hiss in pleasure before I grabbed her face and kissed her with a passion I'd never felt before. My own nails travelled down her faces towards her neck where I started to apply more pressure making her tongue falter slightly giving me the chance to take control of the situation.
I pushed against her with my hips, forcing her back before I slammed her against the wall of the kitchen. All the while not taking my lips off hers, even as she gasps from the force of the impact, when her back colliding with the wall. Once she had recovered she kissed me with a fire that felt as if it could burn me alive but instead it lighted a fire inside me that I never knew about.
With every touch and kiss the animal inside of me gained more and more control making my actions become more instinct with each passing moment. My nails digging into her back, drawing blood only caused her to attack my neck with a higher intensity, while her hands worked on undoing my shirt and ridding me of my irritating clothes as well as getting rid of her own.
There was a wave of pure pleasure that passed through me when her mouth finally claimed one of my newly exposed nipples, she sucked, nibbled and licked at it before slowly moving across to my other breast and giving it the same treatment. The pleasure she caused to explode inside me only helped fuelled the beast inside me, as I started scratching and clawing at any part of her body I could reach.
I heard myself hiss again as she dragged her nails down my sides to the button on my jeans, her skilful fingers were able to undo it swiftly, before unzipping them as well while she slowly brushes against me causing me to whimper slightly at the pleasure it caused.
Her lips were back on mine in a kiss that could only be explained as carnal, the force of it was electrifying and it sent shivers and tingles all through my body. I felt her hands on my hips pulling at my jeans trying to get them to go down and for the first time I growled and cursed in irritation at myself for putting skinny jeans on. Luckily though with a swift tug she was able to get them down over my hips easily, my own hands were now disposing of her belt with ease and undoing her own jeans that I was surprised at the skilfully quick way I had them off of her. To stop my actions though she pushed against me causing me to gasp from the force of the wave of pleasure it sent coursing through my body. Not being able to help myself I bit down into the muscle of her shoulder causing her to hiss in please as her nails dig into the skin of my hips before her right hand travelled to my centre in between us.
As soon as her finger collided over my centre my hips bucked against hers causing her to moan quietly at the sensation, before her finger begins to move again. This time her finger delves gently inside reaching my core finding my nerve centre making my hips buck and causing me to moan to escape my mouth. Soon her finger had started to move more quickly making my hips buck more regularly while my noises gain volume as her lips and teeth graze my neck heightening the pleasure I was already experiencing.
The white hot pleasure that was running through my was gaining speed and power, making me feel as if any moment I was going to explode. I jittered and bucked uncontrollably as the pleasure rick-shaded through my body becoming too much for me to handle, it felt like a drum had burst as I felt the sensation swirl around inside of me.
My breathing was still laboured when the pleasure finally started to subside as Midori finally spoke again. "Sorry about that, I just couldn't control myself anymore." I growled deep in my throat as I hungrily kissed her before I replied.
"You'll be truly sorry in a minute." I said as I pushed her roughly against the kitchen wall as I kissed her passionately again before pushing away from her slightly and saying "Are you coming or you just going to stand there?"
Before she had a chance to answer I dragged her off towards the bedroom so I could repay her the favour she had just paid me.
Natsuki's PV
Somehow Shizuru and I had ended up in the cinema watching a rather random movie, it was meant to be a horror or thriller of some kind but I really couldn't see what was scary or gory about it. It was like the worst movie I have ever seen but at least I had good company which all that matters really.
I turned to look at Shizuru sitting next to me; she looked slightly pale but nothing about her facial expression was showing she was scared but a part of me still told me that she was terrified belief. It made me want to put my arm around her and comfort her, and the other part was unsure about whether I should or not. I looked around the cinema screen and noticed that it was fairly empty and maybe she'd see it as me making a move to do something more or she would just see it as me trying to comfort her. Either way I still found my arm moving around behind her head and putting it across her shoulders; she automatically leant into me, leaning her head onto to my own shoulder as I let my arm rest against her shoulders. She immediately wasted no time in putting her own arm across my stomach as she tried to hide her face from the crappy movie we were watching.
Once it was finished it seemed as if we were both rather hungry, so after we'd walked out of the cinema I suggested we go find somewhere to go eat, which Shizuru was more than hungry to agree with me.
In the end we found a nice quiet little café on the corner at the end of a row of shops, it was quiet and had a nice relaxing atmosphere. It was slightly romantic as well which made me start to think about my choice of restaurant for our meal, maybe Shizuru would prefer to come to somewhere like this instead of the fancy restaurant I've already reserved a table at.
Once the waiters had taken our orders I decided to see whether Shizuru was done with her shopping or whether there was anywhere else she wanted or needed to go. "Was there anywhere else you wanted to go?"
"No, I think I'm done, so how about after we have eaten we go home and settle down to watch a movie, I need a bit of a good decent movie to watch considering the terrible horror we saw earlier. Maybe we can sit by the fire place as well; I haven't done that since I was little." She replied in her natural Kyoto bent as she smiled sweetly at me and I couldn't help but think about how much I loved her accent and her beautiful smile. "Is there anywhere else Natsuki would like to visit?"
"If that's what you want to do that's what we'll do, I finished my shopping before the movie as well so I'm all good." I said as I smiled back at her, what she said really did sound like the perfect thing to do, especially so at Christmas it was extremely romantic and considering it had just started snowing I'd rather just cuddle up on the floor leaning against the sofa curled up in a blanket in front of a nice warm fire and watching a movie; and of course being with Shizuru would be the icing on the cake.
"Ara, Natsuki is being quite romantic lately are you sure you're feeling alright?"
"Yes, I've never felt better as a matter of fact, maybe I've just come to my senses."
Before Shizuru had chance to speak the waitress arrived with our food and she had to turn slightly to hide the blush that was covering her cheeks, it showed me why she like to tease me so much; I'm sure that if I was that cute when I blushed I would want to tease me all the time too. Maybe I should tease Shizuru more often.
As soon as the waitress had gone I couldn't help but comment. "You know you look extremely cute when you blush." Her response was only to continue blushing and start the motions of beginning to eat.
Our conversation stopped for the moment as we ate our food, it surprised me that our silence wasn't awkward but it was comfy, for me that was a big deal because most of the time I find silence awkward, when I'm with another person at least. It was really different, but it was nice and I liked it.
After the waitress had collected our plates and given us a few minutes to ponder over our dessert choice I decided to break the silence. "So, I'm guessing the only problem we have is getting all the stuff home because we did come out on a motorbike instead of in a car, so that's going to make life difficult, don't ya think?"
"Unfortunately yes, although I could rent a car I've been meaning to do so since I arrived but I didn't get a chance to get round to it yet. At least then we can put all the stuff into the back and you can ride you motorbike home and I'll follow behind you?" she said as she looked over the menu and sipped her tea.
I sat there slightly stunned and amazed at how quickly she was able to come up with a solution to our small problem. "Did you know that you never seize to amaze me?"
"Ara?" she looks up at me with a slightly confused look on her face and it's amazing to see her real expressions for once instead of the masks she always seems to hide behind.
"You seem to find solutions so easily in life, it's truly incredible." I said as I quickly finished looking over the dessert menu. "Did you fancy anything else or did you want to leave?"
"I think I'd rather have pudding at home while we watch the movie." She replied putting her cup back down on the table and closing her menu.
"Okay then we can go sort out all of the paperwork for you to rent a car and then we can finally get back home after I get the bill." I say as I see the waitress walk past and ask for the bill.
After convincing Shizuru to let me pay, I paid and gave the waitress a tip while Shizuru put her jacket back on and picked up a few of the bags that were on the floor next to our table. I quickly put my own jacket on and grabbed the rest of the bags before Shizuru could pick them up, we headed out the door and tried to find the nearest car rental place as fast as possible it seemed that we both weren't very clever with what we had chosen to wear for that day.
While Shizuru began the paperwork I decided to leave the bags with her and go get my motorbike, It didn't take me that long to go retrieve it and drive it back to the rental building, but by the time I got back Shizuru had already finished the paperwork and had been able to require a bike carrier to be put on the back of the car so I wouldn't have to ride back home in the cold snow.
It wasn't long before we had packed up all the shopping and put my bike safely and securely onto the trailer, we were soon on our way home, hoping to get there before the weather got worse. The car journey was also in silence as I wanted Shizuru to be able to concentrate in the bad conditions, but it was still comfortable even though it was different to the silence in the restaurant.
Once we got home it wasn't difficult to decide what we were going to do first, the obvious choice was to get a cup of tea to warm us both up, which Shizuru prepared while I got the fire started. I was just finishing with getting the shopping in from the car when Shizuru came in with the tea.
"So now that we have tea what did you want to watch?" I ask Shizuru as we sit down on the sofa drinking the warm tea.
"Ara, what are you in the mood to watch Nat-su-ki?" I shiver slightly at the way she says my name and hope that she doesn't notice it.
"Whatever you're in the mood to watch of course, maybe we could watch a comedy or something because the horror movie today has just put me off that genre for the moment."
"I agree, but what comedy?"
"What about the Proposal movie?" Shizuru said as she points to one of the movie resting on top of the TV.
"Sure, I haven't watched it yet so I don't know how good it will be but it might be fun to see a movie together that neither of us has seen." I smiled at her when I finished placing the DVD into the player before I grabbed the blanket and settled down on the floor in front of the fire Shizuru had set up.
Shizuru settled down next to me and I couldn't help but put my arm around her while I covered her up with the blanket, she hit play before she lean back and cuddled up against me.

Takeda's PV
Tate had been walking backwards and forwards for hours now, he was still ranting about what he did to Mai and how he was her back, but to be honest I personally believe that he's wasting his time the guy was a jerk to her I doubt that none of her friends are even going to allow him to get anywhere near Mai until she's ready to talk to him which won't be anytime soon.
"Dude, will you just shut up for once? She's not going to take you back right now and you know there's no point going over there." I say as he finally blows my last fuse.
"Have you been listening to anything I've been saying? I need her back, I love her..."
I cut him off before he can begin his rant all over again. "Are you in love with her or do you just not want to spend Christmas with Shiho again, because when Christmas comes all you ever do is moan about her and now that you're alone again all you want is Mai, but you still moan about wanting to get out of going to Shiho."
The next thing I know is feeling a sharp pain shooting through my back as I hear a loud bang, upon opening my eyes I noticed that Tate had me pined up against the wall while he began putting pressure on my neck causing me to feel a little choked.
"Leave Shiho out of this, I want Mai because I love her, she's mine, I'm her most important person remember." He said to me as he eyes started to get a little wild.
I kicked him in the shin and elbowed him in the solar plexus causing him to let me go before I started to talk. "She's not yours; she's not a piece of property, besides if she's yours because you're her most important person then Shiho is technically yours as well considering you're her most important person too. How about you think about what you're doing for once? And maybe while you're thinking you can decide who you really want to be with, because trust me you don't want the right person to come along only to let them pass you straight on by." I'm yelling at him by the end of my own little rant and I decide that it's better for me to walk away before I end up hitting him into the next century.
I walked out of the room slamming the door behind; my pace didn't slow down until I reach the town that was close to the school. Unfortunately for me it was quite cold outside and considering I rushed out of the house in an angry state of mind I didn't think to pick up a coat, so now I was beginning to freeze.
After looking around for a little while I finally came across the small café that Mai used to work at when Takumi was still ill, I'm still unsure on whether she has continued working here or not. Either way I still walked into the café hoping to get out of the cold wind that had started to blow.
"Hey Takeda"
I turned around to see Kazuya cleaning a table to the left of me, I quickly look around the rest of the small café and notices that there was only one other customer in the café. "Hey, a bit of a slow day for you guys?"
"Yeah unfortunately I think everyone is just staying at home for the Christmas holiday although it was quiet last year too so I think it might just be a tradition or something." He said as he came over to me. "So what did you want? A sit or just something to eat?"
"A seat and food sounds nice right about now." I replied
"Want some company? I doubt we're going to get busy anytime soon." He said as he showed me to my seat and wrote down what I always order.
"That'd be great."
He walked off once I had sat down, it wasn't long before my order arrived and Kazuya sat down opposite me.
"So what are you doing for Christmas?" He asked as I began to eat my American style banana slip, which was my favourite desert of all time and really the only thing I could eat when I wanted to calm down or when I was just in a bad mood in general.
"Nothing, my parents are away this Christmas so I can't go home, so now I'm going to be on my own for Christmas, sad isn't it?"
"It's not all that bad, Akane parents are on holiday this year too so she's going to come to my family dinner for Christmas instead of being on her own. You can join us if you want; my parents are always inviting my friends to join us for Christmas celebrations and things. You should come; nobody should be alone on Christmas." Kazuya said as he watched me slowly eating my delicious banana and ice cream with a small amount of whipped cream to top it all off.
"Yeah I think I will; it'd be nice to be with friends on Christmas. At least I'll be able to get away from Tate and his whining for once in my life."
"To be honest what does that guy even find to moan about he was dating Mai and they were happy but he still continued to find things to moan about, bit of an arse when you think about it really. Sometimes I can't see how you stand him, but I guess that's what friends are for right?"
"Yeah, I guess. Anyway how are you and Akane? You guys seem to have been together forever, I can't understand how you do it, ya know?"
"We're good, It's easy really, I think when you just find the right person it all just comes together in a way."
"Yeah, maybe I'm just not meant to find love or something; I don't mind really though gives me more time to focus on kendo and school work."
"Yeah but you miss out on the romance of life."
"Romance of life? That just sounds weird."
"What can I say I get weird when people talk to me about love and girlfriends, it's just the way I get when people talk about love, and it's difficult to explain."
"I guess I can understand that, anyway I've got to get going. Hopefully Tate has cooled down enough now so maybe I can get some peace and quiet tonight." I said as I finished my banana slip and paid him for the desert, before I started to head home.
Tate's PV
Maybe I should listen to Takeda for once, I am always complaining at him about everything. I can't understand why I just can't be happy with anything I have, I guess I'm just one of these people who can't be happy because I always want what I can't have and when I have I just find something else I want that I don't have.
I wonder what I really want from life.
I think I should just give up with this for now, I'm going to head over to Shiho's and see if I can stay there until after Christmas considering I'm going over there for Christmas anyway. It is only for three days, well more like two days now considering the time, I know Shiho will be happy with me stopping there, so it should be alright and at least this way Takeda will get a break from all my moaning before he had a go at me I didn't realise that I'd been doing this to him.
Well, I better get going before Takeda gets home don't want him to see me leaving he might think I'm going to Mai's to cause more trouble or something, I guess I should really probably apologise to her about the way I acted but I think I should leave it until after Christmas so she can at least have a happy one without me around to complicate things.
I guess this works out better for Shiho as well because it makes her Christmas better and at least I can do that for her, and it's not all that bad spending time with her or her grandparents, it's quite enjoyable at times really.
After writing a note to Takeda telling him where I was going to be until after Christmas I left the dorm room and locked the door behind me before heading off in the direction of the shrine.
Hey guys, I know it's not as long as the other half but I hope you enjoyed it, I think I might skip the next two days and go straight to Christmas day, but I think that'd be mean so maybe not we'll have to wait and see. I'll hopefully update again before either the end of the month or by middle April, although it might be later than that considering I have work and college and exams and birthdays and way too much to do, but I will try, I don't want to let you guys down. R&R please if you want to, I really appreciate all of your opinions.
