"Hell yea! Beer and junk food!" Arisa shouted, holding the two shopping bags in her hands above her head. Tohru giggled as she unlocked the front door and stepped inside. "Where is carrot top at, anyway?"

"Oh! Kyo is staying with Kazuma tonight. He didn't love the idea of our girls night happening the day before our trip, though." Tohru shrugged.

"Kyo does seem to steal an awful lot of your time." Hana replied, as they entered the living room.

"Yea, forget about him for tonight! I'm sure you'll have plenty of hot times with him on your little vacation." Arisa wriggled her eyebrows, elbowing Tohru. Tohru blushed, looking down in embarrassment.

Both of her friends laughed in response. "Still prudent as ever. Don't think your going to get away with not giving us the details. I brought things to make you talk." Arisa said, shaking the can of beer at her.

"It does almost feel like a bachelorette party, doesn't it?" Hana chimed.

"Bachel.. Oh no! I dont think I should drink! I dont think Kyo would like it very much." Tohru said, waving her hands in front of her.

"Aw, what is he, your dad? Besides, Kyo's not here! It can be our little secret." A devilish grin crept onto her face. After a moment of hesitation, Tohru caved, taking the outstretched can.

"You really do fall for peer pressure far too easily, Tohru." Hana stated, taking a slow sip of her own beer. Tohru's face got even hotter.

"Come on, guys. Don't tease me." She whined. All three girls began to laugh.

"Hey, I'm just curious as to how you managed to pop carrot top's cherry. I've never been with a virgin before." Arisa stated, matter of factly.

"The only woman Kureno knew before you was his cousin." Hana jabbed, raising her brow nonchalantly.

Tohru gasped, covering her mouth. "Hana!"

Arisa let out a deep laugh. "Don't worry about it, Tohru. I can take a little teasing. Besides, at least we are getting laid." She retorted with a smirk.

"And how do you know I'm not?"

Tohru and Arisa's jaws dropped open. A small smile formed on Hana's lips. "Gotcha." She said coolly.

Arisa threw a melon bun at her. "Aw come on, don't get us excited like that! We all know your a hottie. Theres gotta be some good looking man out there looking for a voodoo bitch to make his own."

Tohru's eyes widened as she took sip of a soda, her beer untouched. It had been awhile since they had all gotten together like that, and she was no longer used to their teasing. Still, it made her smile to have such good friends near her again.

About thirty minutes later, the questions returned. She could already feel her face getting flush, but she wasn't sure if it was the time of night or the topic.

"So when did it happen, huh?" Arisa asked.

"Oh, um, I guess the first night we moved in here.."

"Damn it!" Arisa cried, pulling out 10,000 yen and handing it to a subtly gloating Hana.

"I knew he wouldn't last a night." Hana explained.

"But they're both such prudes that I assumed it would be awhile!" Arisa defended.

"Actually, I was the one who asked for it.." Tohru admitted, shyly. Both girls jaws hit the floor.

"Holy shit, are you serious?!"

"This is quite shocking."

"So our dear little Tohru has a sex drive after all."

Tohru feigned offense. "I'll have you know that Kyo and I aren't as innocent as you say we are." She protested.

Arisa laughed. "Oh really?"

Tohru huffed at her challenge. "Yea, we even had sex under the cherry tree in the back yard!" She loudly proclaimed, pride dripping from her shaky voice.

"Damn girl, I guess I was wrong about you." Arisa seemed genuinely impressed.

"Yes, I never would have expected that from you. Your waves seem so calm and reserved. It almost sounds like something from an erotic novel." Hana stated, taking another bite of her pretzel.

"Yea," Arisa agreed, putting an arm around Tohru's shoulders before continuing dramatically.

"Then, unable to refrain from their passionate lust any longer, he pushed her down to the dirt, tearing her panties away in the heat of the moment."

Arisa let out a bellowing laugh. "Sorry, Tohru. You look like a dog in heat right now. That must be one helluva memory for you. Do we need to call Kyo over for round two?"

Tohru shook her head, glaring at her friend. "Absolutely not! I can go one night, you know." She pouted.

Suddenly, they heard a light tap on the door.

"Huh? Are you expecting someone, Tohru?" Arisa asked.

"I don't think so." She whispered nervously.

"I don't sense any danger. Should we answer the door?"

"No! What if someone is out there?"

"Then let me answer. If it is some pervert, I'll kick his ass, then he'll never bother you again." Arisa said confidently, walking to the entryway before Tohru could stop her. "Huh? It's just a box. There's a note on it."

Arisa rounded the corner again, this time holding a decently sized black box with a red ribbon.

"A box? What does it say?" Tohru implored.

"It says, 'For your trip' with a heart next to it. I'm going to open it."

Tohru pondered the package, wondering who would give her a gift for their trip. Suddenly, it clicked.

"Hold on, Arisa, don't-"

"What the fuck is this?!" Arisa exclaimed, her face paling. She quickly brought it over to the table, hurriedly removing its contents. Two blind folds, silk rope, a small plastic device, and a leather tipped riding crop fell to the table, along with another note that simply said, 'Beginners Kit'.

"Shigure.." Tohru whined, putting her blushing face in her hands.

"Wait. Did you just say Shigure?!" Arisa's eyes darted to Tohru.

"I thought I sensed a dog nearby." Hana snarled.

"Explain yourself. Why the hell is Shigure giving you bondage crap? And a freaking vibrator?!"

Ugh. Tohru knew there was no getting out of this. She then explained how Shigure had been helping her and Kyo understand more about their desires.

"So Kyo likes it rough, huh?" Arisa laughed, getting a twisted gleam in her eye.

"I suppose as the author of erotic novels, Shigure would be quite knowledgeable of various fetishes." Hana admitted cordially.

"Yea, but how am I going to explain this stuff to Kyo?" Tohru asked. "I don't even really know how to use it."

She wasn't experienced enough.

"Then learn together." Arisa shrugged. "I don't think he expects you to be a sexpert, and I'm sure introducing this stuff will get him damn excited."

Hana nodded in agreement.

"But won't it be awkward?" Tohru mumbled, flicking the tab of her can nervously.

"Eh, who the hell cares? If you ask me, learning is the fun bit. Bondage isn't really my thing, but Kureno and I have explored kinky stuff too. It's hella fun."

"I agree. I think Kyo would enjoy discovering it with you more than learning it from you."

Tohru considered their words, nodding with acceptance. Yea. Together. She liked the sound of that.
