I Fell For You In San Francisco: Temptation
Tired from a long day of sight seeing, Keitaro and Shinobu creep back into their hotel room. He walks side to side in the room before flopping face first onto the unmade sofa bed. "Boy! That was by far the longest day of my life!"
"But Sempai, it's only 8 o'clock," Shinobu sits on the desk, next to the computer.
"8 O'CLOCK?!" He turns his head to the clock. "You got to be kidding me! We left around 9:00 this morning. I swear it's midnight or around there." Shinobu giggles at his comment.
"You would think that. We did go around like half the city, even thought most of the time we were either on or waiting for a bus."
"I know. But the places we went to were amazing."
"Yeah! I has a great time at the Golden Gate Bridge Visitor Center."
"And Coit Tower was fun to go. But I still don't see how it looks like a fire hose."
"Me neither. Walking around Fisherman's Wharf was cool too, but the best place was Alcatraz. I never knew American prisons has something like that before."
"I'm still surprised that there was one successful escape. You would think no one could escape from a place like that."
"Yeah. I guess you're right" Keitaro could tell something was wrong with Shinobu in her voice. He gets up and sits in the chair next to her.
"You OK?"
"Yes!" She tries to smile, but can't, lowering her head. "Well, I did want to check out Pier 39. It looked like a fun place to go to before we left. But with your tiredness and all, I didn't want to..."
"Wait. You didn't say anything about going there because of me?"
"I caught you trying to dose off during the tour and on the boat ride back. Plus, it was getting late." Keitaro feels overwhelmed by her thoughtfulness. He knows that she would love to check that place out, but because he was out of it, she chose to say nothing, sacrificing something she wanted to do for him.
"Shinobu," She looks at him. "Tired or not, we'll go to Pier 39 tomorrow."
"You mean it?" He nods while she cracks a smile, jumping on him and falling to the ground. "Thank you Sempai! Thank you."
"Don't mention it." They both get up, slightly blushing. "So, what are you going to do?"
"Probably rest while watching Strawberry Eggs. I'm on the last DVD." He turns around and walks back to the sofa bed.
"Oh." She blushes even more. "Well, I thought...you could...join me... in the...jacuzzi." He immediately stops, surprise that she even asked him.
"You...You...what?" He turns towards her, who is looking at the floor and playing with her thumbs.
"If you want to join me in the jacuzzi. I mean, we haven't used it since we got here. So I thought that we could at least try it."
"Are you sure?"
"I thought we would be going to the beach, so I bought a new swim suit. Since it's pretty much cold here, why not use it for the next best thing?"
"True. I did bring my swimming trunks."
"Well, whatever you decide, I'll be in the jacuzzi in a few minutes." With a smile, she goes into the bedroom to change into her swim suit. Just thinking about what Shinobu will be wearing makes Keitaro fantasize about possible situations in the jacuzzi.
In the end, he decides to go in. He takes off his clothes and slips into his blue swimming shorts. He opens the bathroom to see most of Shinobu's body already submerge in the jacuzzi. Smiling at him, he gets into the jacuzzi, sitting opposite of her.
"WOW! This feels better then the barrel I'm used to." He looks around the jacuzzi and sees buttons next to him. "Hmmm...What's this." He presses one of the buttons and hears Shinobu scream. Before asking a question, his eyes become big, setting them on her black bikini top with orange polka dots, revealing some, if not most, of her cleavage.
"What was that you pressed?" Keitaro shakes his head and checks the button that he pressed.
"It says jets. What did it do?"
"I felt some water shoot up my butt. That's all." They both laugh. "OH. I forgot something. Be right back." Keitaro is in a state of shock when she gets up, revealing her bikini bottom to be a thong. He beings to stare while she walks to the sink, then feels something pop in his trunks.
'Calm down boy! Just calm down!' He thinks to himself, pushing it downwards. Hearing a splash, he turns to see Shinobu back in, holding a green rubber duck in one hand and a red duck in the other.
"I found these two in one of the cabinets the another day. They're so cute. Which one do you want?"
"I'll take that one." Pointing the to the red duck. She hands it to him and beings to play with the green one.
"What should I name you? " She thinks about it for a few seconds before deciding. "I know! I'll name you Nobuko, after my favorite character from Video Girl Ai." Still playing with it, she looks to Keitaro with a smile. "So, what are you going to name yours?"
"Mine? Hmmm...let me think." He looks at his duck carefully. "Since you're red, I think I'll name you Sae." Shinobu starts to laugh.
"I knew it! You and your obsession with Maho Tsukai Tai!"
"Obsession?!"
"Yeah!" She splash water onto him. "Obsession! You have all the DVDs in your room. Along with all the mangas, the CDs, posters, wall scrolls, the art book you just bought. You even have a Nanaka plushy! I saw you sleeping with it last night!" With a funny smile and a wink, she splashes more water.
"Do not."
"Do to!"
"Do not!" Whether Keitaro was really mad at her or not, they seem to be having fun, splashing water at each other. Somehow, when he tried to get closer to splash her, but slips and grabs Shinobu, thus getting submerge in the water. It only takes them a few seconds before they get above water. "I'm sorry about that Shinobu."
"That's OK. It's my fault for provoking you." She notices him rubbing his shoulder. "Are you all right?"
"I'm fine. Why do you ask?" She points at the shoulder. "Oh that. Sometimes it suddenly becomes sore for no reason."
"It does?" She begins to come towards him. "In that case, let me rub it then."
"What?! Wait. You don't have to." He says, sweating profusely.
"But Sempai, I want to." Seeing the willingness in her eyes, he gives in. She goes around him and places her hands on her shoulders. Keitaro experiences the most relaxing shoulder rub he has ever had. Hearing him growl, she lets go of him. "Am I hurting you?"
"No. It feels wonderful. I like it. I really do." She does something before continuing. The rubbing only last for half an hour in totally silences, but neither seem to mind. They just enjoy having each other's company.
"I'm sorry," Shinobu says, letting go of him. "But I need to stop." He smiles to himself.
"Well, want to do rub your shoulders." Frantic, she grabs the back of his head.
"NO! NO! PLEASE DON'T!" Feeling bad for yelling at him, she says "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell. But if you like to return the favor, I do have one small request."
"Sure. After what you gave me, I'll do anything." He hears water being splash behind him. Just before turning back, he sees something fly over his head and lands next to him. Curious, he stares at it and almost goes into a coma when he realize it's Shinobu's top. Before he can react, she hugs him from behind, feeling her chest on his back and sensing all the blood rushing to his very special area.
"I need to take a shower." She places her head on his shoulder. "Can you please not turn around?" He starts to bob his head.
"How...about...I...leave?" She hugs him even tighter.
"But you'll be cold in the living room. I don't want that. Please, stay in the jacuzzi and don't turn around."
"O...O...OK."
"Thanks." She gives another tight hug before releasing him. "I won't be..." She says some more, but Keitaro is passed out under the water. It takes a few seconds before reviving from choking on the water. He gets up from the water and start to heavily breathe. Feeling something on his head, he grabs it and is about to have a heart attack when he sees that he's holding her bikini thong. He's unable to move in the jacuzzi, hearing the shower on while Shinobu hums to herself. With every second that goes by, it feels like an eternally, until he hears Shinobu say "All done. You can use the bathroom." She closes the door, leaving him alone.
He gets up from the jacuzzi, with her bikini in hand and walks to the bathtub. Filling the tub with water, he takes off his trunks, setting them next do her bikini. Once the tub is full enough for him, he takes a deep breath and plunges himself into it. After about two minutes of holding his breath underwater, he gets up, breathing heavily.
'What the heck was that about?' he thinks to himself, not wanting her to hear if he speaks. 'This is unlike Shinobu. She's too shy to flirt with any guy.' He then looks at her swim wear. 'Still, she did say she just bought it. Is she trying to seduce me or something? Does she even like me? Or...loves me? Like I...love her?'
Meanwhile:
Shinobu, dressed in her night shirt, leans on the rail of the balcony, staring at the evening sky. 'What was I doing in there with Sempai? I teased him about sleeping with his Nanaka plushy, wore that bikini, rubbed his shoulders while my top was off, I even took a shower when he was in the room and left my bikini in the jacuzzi!' She looks at the stars for an answer that she already knows. 'Oh yeah. I did that because I'm alone with Sempai and wanted his attention. He means the world to me!' With a twirl, she goes back in the bedroom, closing the sliding door behind her. She sits on the bed and picks up Ichiro, the stuffed frog that he won for her at a festival a few summers ago. "Ichiro? Do you think Sempai loves me? I mean, he did take me along on this trip. The only person who knows that we are even in San Francisco is Haruka and she can't get a hold of anybody. And he is letting me buy whatever I want with his money." She turns off the lights and lies on the bed, holding her frog. "Ichiro? Do you think he loves me? Like I love him?"
Note 1: If you haven't guessed it yet, 1234 is right. Rebecca & Billy are characters from Resident Evil Zero. Hope you don't mind, but expect a few more jokes like that popping into this story.
Note 2: I never meant for this chapter to be a lemon. Then again, I'm still unclear what a lemon-fic is. Incase I wrote that, tell me where & I'll change it.
Warning: Please don't use this story as a guide to San Francisco. I don't want to be responsible for you getting lost!
GOOD OR BAD, PLEASE REVIEW =)
