The days went by rather smoothly, with Satsuki spending more time with Ryuko. Most days, she would bring her a lunch and they would sit with Mako and eat. Ryuko rather enjoyed having lunch with her girlfriend, especially as every lunch was made by her. One day in particular, Satsuki had made rice balls with honey for dessert, and they were kind of messy. "Hey, Ryuko." Satsuki began. "You've got some rice stuck to your face."
"Where?"
"Right here." Satsuki said, then licked Ryuko's face to get the piece of rice.
"For a second there, I thought you were gonna try and get a ki-" Ryuko started, but was interrupted by Satsuki kissing her.
"I don't try, I do." Satsuki responded, taking another kiss.
"Aww, you two are such a cute couple!" Mako chirped. "Love is amazing."
Satsuki and Ryuko both started to blush lightly. "L-love? I guess... I do..." Ryuko got out.
"I know the feeling." Satsuki said. "I mean, I do really like you. To the point that you could say I... Love you."
"I kinda figured that, bringing me lunches and all."
...
After the school day, Jakuzure sat at home, racking her brains trying to figure out what to do about Satsuki and her girlfriend. "I should've tried when I had the chance." She muttered out loud. "Then, I'd be the one with Satsuki keeping me close. I wonder if I could try and make that girl jealous. Wait- that's it! I can go out with her ex to get her jealous. I'll date her, I'll do whatever I can. This just might work."
She went and opened her address book and found Mako's home number and called. "Mankanshoku residence." Barazo answered.
"Hi, is Mako available?"
"Yes. Who's calling?"
"Jakuzure. Nonon Jakuzure."
He sat the phone down and sent Mako over. "Hello? Miss Jakuzure?"
"Yes. Miss Mankanshoku, I was wondering if you had any plans for this friday?"
"Well, Ryuko invited me to the party, but that's about it."
"Do you have anyone to go with?" Jakuzure said, a snake like smile creeping across her face.
"Hmm, nope." Mako replied, not really seeing where it was going.
"Maybe you'd like to go with me? You know, make it kind of like a... date"
"A date? I didn't think you liked me like that."
Jakuzure rolled her eyes. "Well, in the spirit of liking people and all the love floating around, I figured... maybe I'd guessed wrong about you. So, what do you say. Will you be my date to the party?"
"Sure! What should I wear?"
"They said it was casual, so I guess whatever you feel like wearing."
"Okay! I'll see you there!"
Jakuzure hung up and put the phone down. "Worst case, I might be able to reform the little slacker."
...
Friday finally came around and the elite four as well as the Mankanshokus were all gathered in the garden at Satsuki's mansion for the party. Ryuko stuck by Satsuki like she was glued to her. Jakuzure showed up with Mako in tow, holding hands. This came as a bit of a surprise to almost everyone, but they also didn't know Jakuzure's motive. Mako wrapped her arms around her and squeezed her in a hug, and although she kind of wanted to push her off, she didn't. She returned the hug and kept a happy look about her to keep up the facade. "Well, looks like you two are the next big couple around here. When did you get together?" Satsuki asked.
"Oh, a couple of days ago." Jakuzure answered, keeping her fake smile.
"What brought you two together?" Ryuko asked, slightly concerned for Mako and why Jakuzure would suddenly want to date her.
"I got to thinking, and she's not a bad girl." Jakuzure started. "And with all the love in the air, I kinda caught the bug."
"Hm, well I wish you two the best." Ryuko responded, still concerned, but smiling.
Jakuzure looked over at Mako, who was still holding her hand and smiling, and she smiled in return. "I think it's working." She thought to herself. "Ryuko seemed awfully fixed on us for a moment. I wonder what she'd do..." She trailed off in thought.
The party continued, everyone happily mingling together. Mako was sitting with Jakuzure on the outdoor couch by the fountain. Jakuzure had her arm around Mako, holding her close. She saw Ryuko sitting across the way with Satsuki and decided to test things out. She looked Mako in the eyes and pulled her in for a long kiss, which almost made Mako faint. "Hmm, she must be using some kind of minty breath spray." Jakuzure thought to herself. "I'm kinda surprised. Wait... did she expect me to kiss her?"
Satsuki saw their little display and wanted to copy it. She started kissing Ryuko on the neck, which she liked very much. She finally made it to Ryuko's face. She gently ran her finger down from Ryuko's cheek, down her neck. Then she brought Ryuko close and French kissed her. Ryuko happily let Satsuki get her sugar and had a sheepish look about her when she drew back. "That was nice. Wanna do it again?" Ryuko asked, hoping for more.
"I don't want to do too much, we might make others jealous." Satsuki replied.
"I don't care what the others think. I love you. Now are you gonna tease me, or am I gonna get another kiss?"
"Oh, I'm the tease?" Satsuki asked, with a loving smile on her lips. "You're the one with that lovely personality, strong body, gorgeous face-"
Ryuko interrupted her. "All the more reason you should!"
Satsuki conceded and gave Ryuko another loving kiss, which Jakuzure saw. "Shit, she might be on to me." She thought to herself. "Maybe I gotta turn up the heat."
Jakuzure started nuzzling her face up against Mako's face, which made her giggle. "Hey, what's gotten into you?" Mako asked. "Not that I mind, though."
"Seeing Lady Satsuki and Ryuko getting all close and lovey-dovey kinda makes me feel things."
"You feel things? For me?"
"You're my date, and we've already kissed, so I guess so." Jakuzure told her, not letting on about her plan.
Mako squealed happily, practically throwing herself at her date, landing so she was partially on top of her. Jakuzure didn't particularly like being in that position, but she remained firm with her plan. "Hey, you. Don't tell me you're going to try something on the first date here."
"Try what?" Mako responded. "I'm just so happy that you like me. I like everyone, and I like it when people like me! Especially high profile people like you, Lady Jakuzure. That means alot to me!"
Jakuzure started feeling like she may have lit a powder keg by now, but for the time being, it didn't matter to her.
...
The party now winding down and everyone heading for their cars to head home, Ryuko pulled Jakuzure to the side for a short talk. "Hey, I saw how chummy you were with Mako."
"Yeah, I didn't want her to feel lonely. Plus, being with someone like me might help her in life." Jakuzure replied.
Ryuko still didn't buy it 100%. "You've made my friend very happy." She said, maintaining a smile.
"Yeah, I can have that effect on people."
"I don't know what you're up to." Ryuko continued, her smile fading to a stern look. "But I swear to god, if you hurt her in any way, including emotionally, I will literally rip your throat out and tie a knot in it with my own two hands." Ryuko said, now staring into Jakuzure's eyes, as if she might make good on her threat right there.
"Oh, settle down. I'm not planning anything, I'm dating her. Straight up." Jakuzure said, trying not to let the deep feeling of fear peek through her fake smile.
Ryuko walked back to rejoin Satsuki and Jakuzure kept walking until she knew she was alone. She started shaking and feeling sick from the fright she had just felt, to the point that she vomited on the sidewalk. "Oh god, what have I done?" She asked herself. "I- I've- oh shit. I've gotta stay with her." She said to herself, trying to calm herself down despite still shaking. "But, I've still gotta try and go through with my plan."
...
Ryuko walked into a hug from Satsuki. "What was all that about?" Satsuki asked her.
"I was just talking with Jakuzure about her relationship with Mako, is all."
"They looked happy together." Satsuki said with a smile.
"Yep. They had better work out."
"What's that?"
Ryuko caught herself. "I mean they ought to work out. Opposites attract, you know. Jakuzure's always punctual and proper, Mako's usually the last one to get to class and one of the first to leave."
"I hadn't thought of it that way. But yes, I'm happy for them. I don't suppose you'd like to have a sleepover?"
"I'd like that. Just let me call home and let them know I'll be staying overnight."
...
Ryuko called the Mankanshoku house and Mako answered. "What's up?"
"Hey, I just wanted to let y'all know I'm sleeping over with Satsuki tonight, so I won't be home til tomorrow."
"Oh, alright! I'll let everyone know." Mako said. "By the way, would you happen to know what might have happened to Miss Jakuzure? When we left the party, she was all fine and good, now it's like something almost could have killed her."
"No idea. Like you said, when she left, she looked okay to me." Ryuko answered, leaving out her conversation with Jakuzure. "Why, is she there with you?"
"Yeah, she's sitting with me on the couch, clinging to me closely."
"I guess just try to cheer her up. You've always done a good job of that."
"Will do!"
...
Ryuko went and got dressed in a nightshirt Satsuki loaned her for the night and rejoined her on the fold out couch for a late night movie on TV. Satsuki wrapped her arms around her and kissed her on the lips. "Thanks for spending the night, hon."
"Hey, this is for me too." Ryuko responded. "Now, what's on?"
