Shinobu had never been on a plane before in her life. And as she stared out the small viewing hole on the side of her 1st class seat, she felt terrified as she came face to face with the plane's reflection as it danced and distorted itself upon the shimmering surface of the Pacific Ocean.
At that very moment, she had regretted having been convinced by both her parents and her beloved sempai to stay in the United States during the summer. She had joined the overseas program over a year ago hopping that she would be selected to go while Keitaro was doing his six month study abroad program, but she had received the phone call six months too late.
She was planning to turn down the invitation, but by some weird twist of fate, which ended with her panties atop Keitaro's head, her program invitation in his pocket and his body flying through the atmosphere at super sonic speed, from Motoko's and Naru's powerful attacks, she accepted the invitation and now found herself on a plane heading for the Californian coast and the LAX airport.
Although part of her was sorry that she had left her friends and him behind, part of her danced at the excitement that coming to the United States brought. She was also happy about the tender kiss that Keitaro had giving her on the cheek the night before she left Japan as both sat alone on the roof. Her cheeks filled with blood as she remembered how warm Keitaro had felt as he pressed his lips against her soft face.
"If only to get that one kiss, this trip has been very much worth it." Shinobu thought to herself as the pilot announced that they were making there final descent into the LAX airport.
It had taken Shinobu nearly an hour to go from the LAX airport where she and the other students which had been selected for the program had been picked up, to the front of the school which was in the city of Santa Monica. A fact which pleased her very much because it was so close to the beach. Now as she stood at the front steps of the school she was amazed at how large the main building was.
It was identical to the picture that she had seen in the brochure, it was a very large building, she supposed that measured anywhere from 40 to 45 feet in length and was 4 stories high. Even from where she was standing she could see through the windows of the many classrooms that were in session at the time. The building was painted a beautiful deep red, the windows edges were a shimmering gold color which sparkled like real gold as the rays of the sun hit there surface.
The entrance of the building had been constructed in a large arch that reminded Shinobu of the entrance way to a Christian church. Even the two massive oak doors reminded her of a church. "This school was built almost 2 years ago here on Pico Boulevard, when our present board of directors bought the land which had previously been Santa Monica College, when it was forced to close because of lack of founds." The short, red-haired old woman told them as she led them to the front steps of the school.
As the massive doors opened slowly Shinobu felt a swarm of butterflies suddenly take root in her stomach, this was going to be her home for the next 3 months and she was excited by the idea.
"This is going to be your room, Ms. Maehara," said the same red-haired old woman which had given her the tour of the class rooms. The room were Shinobu was staying in was located directly behind the main building, and was one of the two buildings which housed the students rooms.
Shinobu was told that she would be boarding with an American student, which would help find her classes and help in any way that she could. As Shinobu stepped into the room, she was once again very impressed with how luxurious the rooms were, the size of the room was at least the twice the size of her room at the Hinata Sou, the beds were at larger than she thought she would ever need, but she wasn't complaining.
The beds which were in one corner of the room, was only one of the things that she found interesting about the room. The dark red carpets were spotless, and wondered if the school had its own cleaning crew or something. In the opposite corner of the room, against the light peach painted wall was a very large television set, that was turned to a channel, which seemed to be airing a news broadcast but she couldn't understand the language that was being spoken. Unsure which of the bed were hers she placed her luggage on the ground beside her and continues to look around the room.
Two massive oak drawers were placed on the sides of each bed. Again Shinobu wondered if she would ever need that much room, but she wasn't one t look a gift horse in the mouth. "Hey, so you're the new girl." Comes a voice from right beside, she turns to meet the voice and finds a young woman no older than she, her young slender, tanned body wrapped in a towel along with her hair standing in the doorway to the bathroom.
Her bright silver eyes catch Shinobu by surprise. Sensing Shinobu apprehension, the young girl steps forward and extends her hand. "The name is Jessica Crimson, but you can call me Jess." Her voice is sweet and innocent, it eases Shinobu's anxiety.
" Hi my name is Shinobu Maehara, nice to eat you." Shinobu bows, blushing slightly as she did. "I think you mean meet you, Shinobu." Jess laughs as she unwraps her fiery red hair from its towel. "I'm so sorry!" Shinobu apologizes, her face glowing red like an apple.
"Hey don't worry about it." Jess says as she slips into a pair of bright pink shorts and a large white shirt. As Jess changes Shinobu merely looks on, much too embarrassed to do or say anything. Once again Jess breaks the silence "Hey kid it's kind of late, and we have school in the morning, you could sleep on that bed." She points to the bed nearest to Shinobu.
"Yes, thank you very much." Shinobu bows as she prepares herself for bed. A few minutes later as both girls lie in there beds, Jess strikes up another conversion. "Hey, so how old are you?" she asks hopping that she hasn't woken up her sleeping guest. "I'm sixteen." Shinobu answers in small voice after a few moments of silence. "That's cool, I'm the same age, which means tomorrow were going to have the same classes." Jessica answers, as her voice trials off and both girls slip away into their own version of wonderland.
In the morning, classes come and go easily enough. Shinobu finds most of her classes to be very easy and that the students are learning material that she has learned years ago. After lunch, both she and Jess proceed to their Chemistry class, making grievous errors as they try to speak each others' language.
Just like in the other classes Shinobu finds the material an overview of something that she has already learned. But in this class every time that she looks up from her desk she finds that her teacher is giving her a very odd look, and being Shinobu know nothing but to smile and giggle nervously.
One more then one occasion, it looks as though the teacher were trying to have a peek up her very short gray skirt, but Shinobu quickly shakes off the feelings, reassuring herself that it is only her imagination.
The teacher, a man by the name if Jose Guerra, is a tiny man with a smooth bubble of a head, and eyes that seem to pop out far too much out of his head, his face and body are ugly and distorted, he is weaklings among weaklings he is bony and extremely under weight and strangely pale, and the looks which she gives Shinobu run shivers up the young girl's spine.
Unknown to the young girl though, Jose has been very successful and trying to look up the girls' skirts, and sits behind the desk for the entirety of the class because of the obvious excitement that he has enjoyed from his glimpses of there white cotton panties.
At the end of the day both girls sit in the school's large cafeteria and laugh at the things which have happened during the day. "The teacher in Chemistry class was giving some very weird looks." Shinobu comments in between there burst of laughter. "He was looking at your underwear." Jess answers without so much as flinching.
At hearing that her suspicions were entirely correct, Shinobu becomes as red as a cherry and tries desperately to make her skirt longer as she tugs on it. Sensing that Shinobu is less then happy with her revelation, Jessica tries to comfort her new found friend.
"Don't worry about it, he does that to all the girls, he's just a major pervert" Shinobu finds little solace in that fact, and wishes that Motoko could be here to slice the man in half with one of her powerful kendo attacks. "It's okay." Shinobu assures her, but Jess knows that she's lying but decides that it would be best just to leave it at that.
That night Shinobu found herself very much alone in the room, Jess had gone to visit her family for the weekend and even though she invited Shinobu to come and join her, it was understood by both that Shinobu wanted to be alone for a while.
As she lay there in bed, still wearing the school uniform from the day's classes she regretted having said no to Jessica's invitation. Although Shinobu had never been the most social of people her beloved Sempai had taught her long ago than having a friend was not a bad thing.
"Well might as well get to bed." She told herself, as she looked out the window and noticed that the full moon was already very high in the sky, and the school was very strict about the curfew that they set for the students, and every once in a while she could hear someone walking up and down the halls to make sure that everyone was indeed asleep.
As Shinobu undressed she folded her clothes neatly and placed on the top of her draw, knowing that she was going to have to wash them over the two day weekend, another thing which Shinobu found very strange about American Schools, so that they would be clean for her return to classes on Monday.
As Shinobu sat on her bed wearing nothing more than a simple white bra and panties brushing her hair lightly with her comb, her thoughts began to wonder towards home and what everyone was up to. Her thoughts focused on the actions of Keitaro, and even though he was already married to Naru, Shinobu still liked to dream that there was a chance between her and her Sempai.
Especially now that she had grown into such a beautiful young woman, she laughed as she remembered the first time that she had met Keitaro and how he had managed to show her a side of him that she would not mind seeing again.
She had even managed to find a pair of underwear with a large teddy bear stamped on the back end, like the ones Keitaro had managed to steal from her during her 14th birthday. She could not help but laugh even harder as she suddenly remembered that she was wearing those same pair of panties and that moment.
Unfortunately Shinobu's laughter was short lived, because she was startled to silence as a very large thud came from the window at the far end of the room. Quickly covering herself with a towel, she rose from the bed very startled, wondering what could have made such a large noise.
Making her way slowly towards the window Shinobu was once again startled by the large thud at the window, but because of the pitch black night outside she fails to see what is making the noise.
Mustering all the courage that she can, she made her way to the window and even managed to open it, as a large gust of wind blew in and effectively removed the towel which she had wrapped around her delicate young frame.
"I'm so glad that you let me in" came a slither of a voice from somewhere behind her. Shinobu quickly turned around, to find that the same Chemistry teacher who had taken a peek at her panties during class was now standing in her room, with a very large smile on his face.
"I see that you saved me the trouble of removing that pesky little uniform of yours." The teacher continues as his eyes drift up and down Shinobu's nearly naked body. Shinobu suddenly realized the teacher's intentions with a gasp and desperately tries to finds a way to escape.
