No Need for Revenge
(!)(!)(!)(!)
The assassin set themselves up on the rooftop overlooking Justin's house. So far, all the assassin had been watching is some woman tend to her rasberry bushes. It was mid-July, and the summer heat was only beginning to pick up. Being on the black rooftop wasn't helping much either. The assassain wiped their forehead with a wet cloth and went back to watching, he'd have to come out sometime.
~*~*~*~*~
The person sat on the edge of a lake, this always seemed to relax them. Feeling the cool breeze off the lake. Watching the ripples warp their reflection in the mirror of the lake. Listening to nature as the day passed on. Smelling the sweet air that surrounded the lake.
~*~
Ashley walked around the camp, a Creedence Clearwater Revival song came to mind, 'Have You Ever Seen The Rain', "Someone told me long ago, there's a calm before the storm, I know, it's been coming for some time." She sang, and continued her walk.
This is what she liked to do, just walk around, and think. To let her mind drift along with her thoughts, thinking about anything and everything. She hadn't seen Mihoshi all day, suprisingly. Ashley had thought the blonde woman would be sticking to her like glue. Also, Justin didn't show up for class today, there was a substitute instead, one of his friends. She simply shrugged, then continued on her way.
~*~
(AN: Hehe, this part's gonna shock you all. *points to light socket* This may help you cut down on electricity bills, you'll be like a little power plant.......................or something.)
Mihoshi curled up next to him, she buried her head into his chest, he wrapped his arms around her, holding her even closer, their bare skin touching. She smiled contently.
"You alright?" He asked.
"Yes, I'm fine, just a little tired still Justin." She responded, still smiling.
"How are we going to break this to Ashley?"
"I can't help my feelings for you and her Justin, I love you both so much. I just hope she'll understand that." Mihoshi said, a tad bit worried.
"I know she will, she'll be mad a little bit, but, she'll understand." Justin told her calmly.
(AN: MUAHAHAHAHAHA*cough cough*HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!)
(!)(!)(!)(!)
Justin walked out of his house, and he spotted his fiance right away, he smiled as he watched her pick her rasberries. Finally, he went over to her, and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. He took this time to breath in her sweet scent and kiss her soft neck.
"Hey sweetie." Vera smiled, leaning slightly back into him.
~*~
The assassin watched the happy couple pick rasberries together. They felt sorry for what they were about to do, but, this was their last job, after this, they could move on, to whatever that would be. They set up their gun quickly and quietly.
"It's time to finish this, once and for all." The person whispered to themself, taking aim with their gun, placing the cross hairs right on Justin's head. They placed their finger on the trigger, and readied to pull it. "Good bye Justin."
Just as they were about to pull the trigger, a loud crash went off, the assassin jumped, accidently moving the weapon and pulling the trigger as well.
"Oh no." The assassin groaned, seeing she had shot the wrong person. Her mouth hung open as she watched Justin cradle the dying woman in his arms. The wound was fatal, and the assassin knew that all too well.
~*~
Justin held Vera still close, her breaths were getting shorter.
"Vera." Was all Justin managed to choke out, his eyes welling up with tears.
"Justin, I'll be fine." She tried to reassure him, she put her best smile on for him, though that did not change the sad and worried expression on his face. "Stop acting like I'm dead already." She traced her fingers over his face gently. "Justin, I love you."
"I love you too." His voice cracking.
Her eyes closed, her breathing came to a slow halt, she was gone. Yet, Justin still held her close, not wanting to let her go.
A glint from the corner of Justin's eye got his attention. He looked up and spotted the person on the roof putting away a gun. Now he had to take action. Justin quickly pulled out a gun from his holster that he had hidden beneath his shirt, just in time to see the person running out of the building, suitcase in hand.
The person looked, and spotted the angry raven coming toward them, gun in hand. The assassin the took off, running down the street, with Justin close in tow.
Taking a shot, Justin managed to get the assassin in the thigh, slowing them down slightly. He shot them again, this time close to their knee, not slowing them down much.
The chasing continued, all the way down to the main street, when the assassin jumped onto a double-decker bus that was moving down the busy street, and was gone before Justin could catch up.
~*~*~*~*~
Ashley, Mihoshi, Haley, and Justin headed up to the lake for the day. Mihoshi had brought a picnic with her. Ashley brought a battery powered radio. Once they got there, the only people who refused to get undressed to their bathing suits were Justin and Ashley.
"Oh, c'mon Ashley, it'll be fun!" Mihoshi pouted slightly, she was wearing a pink bikini, which Ashley thought she looked very good in.
"No, because, I burn easily?" She shrugged.
Mihoshi smiled a bit, "Take off your shirt at least, the bikini I got you looks very nice on you."
She then mumbled something in turn.
"If you don't, I won't tell you what I have in store for you later." Mihoshi told her in a teasing voice.
"You know your gonna tell me anyway." Ashley responded, taking a seat on the sandy beach.
"Can you take off your shirt for me?" Mihoshi then sniffed every so often, making puppy dog eyes at Ashley.
"Alright, fine." Ashley groaned, finally slipping out of her shirt, tossing it toward the basket.
The blue-eyed girl smiled, and wrapped her arms around Ashley, "Thank you." She then proceeded to kiss her on the cheek.
Ashley blushed, "Yeah, but don't get used to it."
Haley on the other hand, immediately stripped down to her bikini. She jumped into the water and dove under. She resurfaced grinning broadly. "The water's fine! C'mon in!"
"Alright!" Mihoshi responded, stepping in to about waist deep. She turned back to Ashley, "Hey, join us will you?"
"Nah, just not yet." Ashley shouted back, laying back in the sand, propping herself up on her elbows so she could watch Mihoshi.
"Did you notice the scars on her one leg?" Justin asked, his eyes seemed to darken slightly.
"Oh yeah, I have a fair share of gunshot wounds too." Ashley glanced at him, something was bothering him. "Why do those on her one leg seem to grab your attention?"
He almost told her, but, thought better of it, "No reason."
"No reason my ass." She snorted, "It's obviously bothering you."
"Do you remember the person I met up with to talk at the mall?" He questioned.
Ashley thought for a minute, "Oh yeah! The guy with the goggles that kept taking the free samples."
"Yeah, well, he found out something for me from my past." Justin explained.
"Ah, that explains it." She smiled a bit, "What was that all about? Who killed who?"
Justin glanced over at her, then looked out over the lake, "She was the one."
"Was?"
"She was shot during an assassination attempt on me." He explained.
"Girlfriend?"
"Fiance." He corrected.
"Oh." Ashley gave him a sad look, then went back to watching the other two swim around, "You must have really loved her."
"Yes."
"Like they say, better to have loved and lost, then to have never loved at all. I should know, I knew what it was like not to be loved, to feel wanted, until I met Kyle, Jared, you, and Mihoshi." She then continued, "Love is a wonderful feeling, maybe because I didn't understand it and called it a disease, it isn't."
Suddenly, Mihoshi and Haley grabbed Ashley's arms and legs, carried her over to the water, kicking and yelling profanities, then they tossed her in.
~*~
As the night approached, Haley returned to her bunk, she said she was going to do some training that morning. Mihoshi was still swimming around, Ashley was drying off in the setting sun, and Justin was listening to the radio.
"This was fun." Justin calmly noted, a soft smile on his face.
"Yeah."
"I was just thinking, maybe you and Mihoshi would like to spend a few nights at my place to get away from here." Justin told her. "Kind of like a vacation I suppose."
"I'd like to come along too, now, all we got to do is ask Mihoshi." Ashley responded.
"I'd love to come too." She added, apparently Mihoshi was listening the whole time.
"Alright then, let's get moving then." Justin smiled at them.
With that, they all headed back to go get ready to go.
~*~
Mihoshi and Ashley followed the raven into his very nice house, it was definitely a lot better then the bunks. They set their stuff down in their rooms. It was already very late. Everyone got ready to go to sleep for the night, tomorrow they would start having fun tomorrow.
As the night wore on, the more Ashley tossed and turned, she couldn't sleep. All these emotions that she wasn't used to were confusing her to no end. Was this really love with her and Mihoshi? Or was it just lust? She remembered a quote she had heard from someone, 'Lust is when you love what you see. Love is when you lust for what's inside.' She couldn't make heads or tails of her feelings for the tanned woman.
Finally, she gave up trying to sleep, and wandered sleepily over to Justin's room, maybe he could help her, just maybe. She opened the door and slipped quietly in, hoping not to wake him up. When she looked at his bed, it was empty.
'Where could he be?' She wondered, then shrugged.
The blue-eyed woman was having trouble getting to sleep as well, she wandered over to the room Ashley was sleeping in. She entered, and gasped when she saw that her bed was empty. Her mind began to race with different thoughts. What if she left again? What if she never found Ashley again? Before panicing too much, Mihoshi went to check and see if she was talking to Justin.
'Please be there.' Mihoshi silently prayed.
She entered the room, spotting the blond girl sitting on the edge of Justin's bed. Mihoshi felt her heart leap with excitement, then quickly went to Ashley, wrapping her arms around her tightly, she was crying.
"What's the matter?" Ashley asked sleepily.
"I thought you left again!" Mihoshi cried, "I thought I'd lost you again!"
"It's okay, I'm here for you, and I'm not going anywhere." Ashley pulled Mihoshi into her arms.
Mihoshi wiped the tears from her eyes, Ashley smiled a bit, the kissed her on her forhead. Then, Mihoshi kissed the other girl's cheek. The girl smiled then, kissed her on the lips. The kiss deepened and grew more passionate as each second passed by. Mihoshi moved her lips down to Ashley's neck, nipping and licking at it, getting a soft moan from her.
Their lips reunited once again, Ashley then went down Mihoshi's neck, slowly moving down her body, unbuttoning the top of her pajamas. Once she had it removed, she took off her bra and began to suckle on her breast. Mihoshi moaned softly, arching her back.
The two broke apart when Justin opened the door to his room, Mihoshi quickly covered her breasts with her pajama shirt.
"I'm sorry about this Justin." Ashley quickly apoligized, her head drooping a bit.
"What's there to be sorry about?" He asked.
"Urm..." This one was stumping Ashley.
"In fact I was planning on joining you two." He grinned.
"What were you doing out of bed anyway?" Ashley questioned, turning beet red at his comment.
"Wandering about wondering which of you would be awake. I'm so terribly aroused." He simply answered, the grin remaining.
Ashley crossed her arms, still blushing, Mihoshi grinned back at him. The shorter blonde girl noticed this and snorted.
"I should've known." She snarled, semi glaring at the two.
"Known what?" Mihoshi raised an eyebrow.
"That there was something between you two!" She growled in frustration, quickly leaving the room to go to the one she was staying in.
She shut the door, and sat up against it. She felt two hot, wet trails of tears start to drip down her face. 'So this is love? If it is, then why does it hurt so much?' She continued to cry silently, ignoring Mihoshi and Justin at the door.
~*~
The next morning Mihoshi was going to try and talk to Ashley, hopefully she would understand when she explained to her about her feelings for Justin.
She slowly opened the door and peered inside, when she looked around, there was no one. Ashley had left sometime during the night, the open window proved it well, it was wide open, the curtains blowing wildly in the breeze. All her stuff was there, she was probably planning on coming back, but when was the question.
The blonde spotted a note on the pillow, she picked it up, it was in Ashley's untidy scrawl. It read: 'Mihoshi, I do not want to get between you and Justin. I'll be back for my stuff. Good-bye. Lovingly, Ashley'
Mihoshi started to cry, quietly at first, but, it grew to loud sobs. Justin came rushing over to see what was wrong with her.
"What happened?" Justin asked her. Mihoshi handed him the note, which he quickly read over.
"We still have a chance to get her to stay." Justin told Mihoshi calmly, wrapping his arms around her, pulling her into a comforting embrace.
~*~
Ashley quickly and quietly climbed into the open window. Her appearance had changed a little since she left, she had gotten her hair cut to about an inch or two long. She looked over to her bed and spotted Mihoshi and Justin sleeping, both were nude, to that Ashley snorted.
She quickly gathered up the few clothes she had brought with her. She then threw them down to the ground first, then she was about to climb out, but, a pair of arms stopped her.
"Just where do you think you're going?" A witty voice purred slyly. "It'd be rather rude of you to run out on both your lovers."
"Yeah." Chimed in a giggling tinkling of a girl's voice. "You'd force us to look all over for you all over again."
Ashley turned. Upon her left wrist was one of Justin's hands. Upon her right, Mihoshi's. They grinned at her and began slowly pulling her to them, drawing her into the bed they shared.
"What do you think you're doing?" She demanded, trying to wrench her wrists free. "I'm going so that you two can be together, can't you see that?"
Mihoshi and Justin smiled at each other, then leaned close to Ashley, each nuzzling one of her cheeks.
"But we can't love each other if we can't love you." Mihoshi spoke softly, placing delectable little kisses along Ashley's jaw.
"Indeed, my dear." Justin added, hushed and low. "You brought us together. Our love stems from a shared love of you. You bind us to each other."
The short-haired blonde girl was about to object when she was silenced by Justin's lips, it took a second before she responded. She felt the sparks of electricity to course it's way through her body. Gradually, she was laid on her back, Justin kissing her lips gently, while Mihoshi busily began to undress the shorter girl.
"What are you planning on doing with me?" Ashley managed to say between the kisses.
Justin smiled, "You'll see."
With that, Justin's lips moved down to her neck, kissing and licking her. At this point, Mihoshi had gotten Ashley's shoes, pants, and underwear off, Justin slid his hands under her shirt, gently carressing her breasts, his touch sending the short blonde girl even higher. Her eyes were closed in obvious pleasure, her back arched as Justin's hands continued to touch her. Each fingertip sending sparks throughout her entire body.
Mihoshi went to work as well, gently kissing Ashley's lips, which was eagerly returned. Ashley slipped her tounge into Mihoshi's mouth, exploring her mouth, running her tounge over the blue-eyed girl's teeth.
The kiss parted for a brief moment to remove Ashley's t-shirt and sports bra. Mihoshi went back to kissing her lips, teasing her every so often. Ashley let out a gasp when Justin's mouth closed around her nipple and began to suckly on her breast, Mihoshi was to far behind in doing the same. Ashley couldn't hold back her moans of pleasure, and she let out a soft moan, her back arched again.
Ashley and Justin's lips reunited once again in a deep passionate kiss. Mihoshi continued her way down Ashley's body, kissing and licking at her skin, sending a tingle down her spine that run up and down a few times. It wasn't long before she reached Ashley's sex, she began to rub her, causing Ashley to moan loudly into Justin's mouth.
The short haired girl gasped even louder when Mihoshi slid a finger her into, creating that small bit a friction as her finger moved back and forth in her. Justin once again trailed his lips down from Ashley's lips, down to her breasts, which he began to suckle once again. With that, Mihoshi added a second finger increasing the pleasure. Ashley moaned loudly lost in a sea of pleasure.
Mihoshi and Justin exchanged glances, and nodded. Mihoshi slid her fingers out of Ashley, Mihoshi moved up toward Ashley's head, and began to kiss her passionately, Ashley eagerly returning it. Ashley looked briefly at Justin as he laid down on top of her, his hips going between her legs, their skin tingled where they met. Justin looked at Ashley kind of asking her if he should or not, she simply nodded. With that Justin gently thrust into her Ashley moaned loundly, then Mihoshi kissed the girl's lips, muffling her moans. Justin began to pick up the pace, thrusting faster and faster. The pleasure increasing, then, Justin finally climaxed, his muscles relaxed everywhere, he was breathing heavily, as was Ashley and Mihoshi.
Justin pulled out of her and laid down next to her opposite as Mihoshi. Ashley fell into an easy sleep between the ones she loved.
~*~
The ringing phone woke up Justin the next morning, he sat up groggily, shuffled over to the phone and answered it.
"Hello?" He grumbled still half asleep.
"Sorry to wake you up, but, I found out something this morning about her death." The person answered, it was the guy with the goggles that kept stealing the free samples at the coffee shop.
"What'd you find out?" Justin paid close attention to the perosn's answer.
"There wasn't just one assassin, there was two assassins involved in this. Whoever fired it, was still on the roof and got away while you were chasing after whoever was, in short, a decoy." He explained.
"So, I'll have to find the decoy to find the killer." Justin thought out loud.
"Sounds like that'd work. Well, talk to you later, go back to sleep." With that, the guy hung up, as well as Justin did.
Justin stood there for a minute thinking, but was shaken out of his thoughts when a pair of arms wrapped around his waist and held him close to their warm body.
"Mihoshi, you startled me." He said calmly.
"I'm sorry, but you looked like you needed a hug."
"Yeah." He trailed back to his thoughts, 'I'm getting close Vera, I just know it.'

"I know she will, she'll be mad a little bit, but, she'll understand." Justin told her calmly.
(AN: MUAHAHAHAHAHA*cough cough*HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!)

Justin walked out of his house, and he spotted his fiance right away, he smiled as he watched her pick her rasberries. Finally, he went over to her, and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. He took this time to breath in her sweet scent and kiss her soft neck.

Justin held Vera still close, her breaths were getting shorter.
"Vera." Was all Justin managed to choke out, his eyes welling up with tears.
"Justin, I'll be fine." She tried to reassure him, she put her best smile on for him, though that did not change the sad and worried expression on his face. "Stop acting like I'm dead already." She traced her fingers over his face gently. "Justin, I love you."
"I love you too." His voice cracking.
Her eyes closed, her breathing came to a slow halt, she was gone. Yet, Justin still held her close, not wanting to let her go.

~*~*~*~*~
Ashley, Mihoshi, Haley, and Justin headed up to the lake for the day. Mihoshi had brought a picnic with her. Ashley brought a battery powered radio. Once they got there, the only people who refused to get undressed to their bathing suits were Justin and Ashley.
"Oh, c'mon Ashley, it'll be fun!" Mihoshi pouted slightly, she was wearing a pink bikini, which Ashley thought she looked very good in.

The blue-eyed girl smiled, and wrapped her arms around Ashley, "Thank you." She then proceeded to kiss her on the cheek.
Ashley blushed, "Yeah, but don't get used to it."
Haley on the other hand, immediately stripped down to her bikini. She jumped into the water and dove under. She resurfaced grinning broadly. "The water's fine! C'mon in!"
"Alright!" Mihoshi responded, stepping in to about waist deep. She turned back to Ashley, "Hey, join us will you?"
"Nah, just not yet." Ashley shouted back, laying back in the sand, propping herself up on her elbows so she could watch Mihoshi.
"Did you notice the scars on her one leg?" Justin asked, his eyes seemed to darken slightly.
"Oh yeah, I have a fair share of gunshot wounds too." Ashley glanced at him, something was bothering him. "Why do those on her one leg seem to grab your attention?"

"Yeah, well, he found out something for me from my past." Justin explained.
"Ah, that explains it." She smiled a bit, "What was that all about? Who killed who?"
Justin glanced over at her, then looked out over the lake, "She was the one."
"Was?"
"She was shot during an assassination attempt on me." He explained.
"Girlfriend?"
"Fiance." He corrected.
"Oh." Ashley gave him a sad look, then went back to watching the other two swim around, "You must have really loved her."
"Yes."
"Like they say, better to have loved and lost, then to have never loved at all. I should know, I knew what it was like not to be loved, to feel wanted, until I met Kyle, Jared, you, and Mihoshi."

Suddenly, Mihoshi and Haley grabbed Ashley's arms and legs, carried her over to the water, kicking and yelling profanities, then they tossed her in.

As the night approached, Haley returned to her bunk, she said she was going to do some training that morning. Mihoshi was still swimming around, Ashley was drying off in the setting sun, and Justin was listening to the radio.
"This was fun." Justin calmly noted, a soft smile on his face.
"Yeah."
"I was just thinking, maybe you and Mihoshi would like to spend a few nights at my place to get away from here." Justin told her. "Kind of like a vacation I suppose."
"I'd like to come along too, now, all we got to do is ask Mihoshi." Ashley responded.
"I'd love to come too." She added, apparently Mihoshi was listening the whole time.
"Alright then, let's get moving then." Justin smiled at them.
With that, they all headed back to go get ready to go.
~*~
Mihoshi and Ashley followed the raven into his very nice house, it was definitely a lot better then the bunks. They set their stuff down in their rooms. It was already very late. Everyone got ready to go to sleep for the night, tomorrow they would start having fun tomorrow.
As the night wore on, the more Ashley tossed and turned, she couldn't sleep. All these emotions that she wasn't used to were confusing her to no end. Was this really love with her and Mihoshi? Or was it just lust? She remembered a quote she had heard from someone, 'Lust is when you love what you see. Love is when you lust for what's inside.' She couldn't make heads or tails of her feelings for the tanned woman.
Finally, she gave up trying to sleep, and wandered sleepily over to Justin's room, maybe he could help her, just maybe. She opened the door and slipped quietly in, hoping not to wake him up. When she looked at his bed, it was empty.
'Where could he be?' She wondered, then shrugged.
The blue-eyed woman was having trouble getting to sleep as well, she wandered over to the room Ashley was sleeping in. She entered, and gasped when she saw that her bed was empty. Her mind began to race with different thoughts. What if she left again? What if she never found Ashley again? Before panicing too much, Mihoshi went to check and see if she was talking to Justin.
'Please be there.' Mihoshi silently prayed.
She entered the room, spotting the blond girl sitting on the edge of Justin's bed. Mihoshi felt her heart leap with excitement, then quickly went to Ashley, wrapping her arms around her tightly, she was crying.
"What's the matter?" Ashley asked sleepily.
"I thought you left again!" Mihoshi cried, "I thought I'd lost you again!"
"It's okay, I'm here for you, and I'm not going anywhere." Ashley pulled Mihoshi into her arms.
Mihoshi wiped the tears from her eyes, Ashley smiled a bit, the kissed her on her forhead. Then, Mihoshi kissed the other girl's cheek. The girl smiled then, kissed her on the lips. The kiss deepened and grew more passionate as each second passed by. Mihoshi moved her lips down to Ashley's neck, nipping and licking at it, getting a soft moan from her.
Their lips reunited once again, Ashley then went down Mihoshi's neck, slowly moving down her body, unbuttoning the top of her pajamas. Once she had it removed, she took off her bra and began to suckle on her breast. Mihoshi moaned softly, arching her back.
The two broke apart when Justin opened the door to his room, Mihoshi quickly covered her breasts with her pajama shirt.
"I'm sorry about this Justin." Ashley quickly apoligized, her head drooping a bit.
"What's there to be sorry about?" He asked.
"Urm..." This one was stumping Ashley.
"In fact I was planning on joining you two." He grinned.
"What were you doing out of bed anyway?" Ashley questioned, turning beet red at his comment.
"Wandering about wondering which of you would be awake. I'm so terribly aroused." He simply answered, the grin remaining.
Ashley crossed her arms, still blushing, Mihoshi grinned back at him. The shorter blonde girl noticed this and snorted.
"I should've known." She snarled, semi glaring at the two.
"Known what?" Mihoshi raised an eyebrow.
"That there was something between you two!" She growled in frustration, quickly leaving the room to go to the one she was staying in.
She shut the door, and sat up against it. She felt two hot, wet trails of tears start to drip down her face. 'So this is love? If it is, then why does it hurt so much?' She continued to cry silently, ignoring Mihoshi and Justin at the door.

The next morning Mihoshi was going to try and talk to Ashley, hopefully she would understand when she explained to her about her feelings for Justin.
She slowly opened the door and peered inside, when she looked around, there was no one. Ashley had left sometime during the night, the open window proved it well, it was wide open, the curtains blowing wildly in the breeze. All her stuff was there, she was probably planning on coming back, but when was the question.
The blonde spotted a note on the pillow, she picked it up, it was in Ashley's untidy scrawl. It read: 'Mihoshi, I do not want to get between you and Justin. I'll be back for my stuff. Good-bye. Lovingly, Ashley'
Mihoshi started to cry, quietly at first, but, it grew to loud sobs. Justin came rushing over to see what was wrong with her.
"What happened?" Justin asked her. Mihoshi handed him the note, which he quickly read over.
"We still have a chance to get her to stay." Justin told Mihoshi calmly, wrapping his arms around her, pulling her into a comforting embrace.
~*~
Ashley quickly and quietly climbed into the open window. Her appearance had changed a little since she left, she had gotten her hair cut to about an inch or two long. She looked over to her bed and spotted Mihoshi and Justin sleeping, both were nude, to that Ashley snorted.
She quickly gathered up the few clothes she had brought with her. She then threw them down to the ground first, then she was about to climb out, but, a pair of arms stopped her.
"Just where do you think you're going?" A witty voice purred slyly. "It'd be rather rude of you to run out on both your lovers."
"Yeah." Chimed in a giggling tinkling of a girl's voice. "You'd force us to look all over for you all over again."
Ashley turned. Upon her left wrist was one of Justin's hands. Upon her right, Mihoshi's. They grinned at her and began slowly pulling her to them, drawing her into the bed they shared.
"What do you think you're doing?" She demanded, trying to wrench her wrists free. "I'm going so that you two can be together, can't you see that?"
Mihoshi and Justin smiled at each other, then leaned close to Ashley, each nuzzling one of her cheeks.
"But we can't love each other if we can't love you." Mihoshi spoke softly, placing delectable little kisses along Ashley's jaw.
"Indeed, my dear." Justin added, hushed and low. "You brought us together. Our love stems from a shared love of you. You bind us to each other."
The short-haired blonde girl was about to object when she was silenced by Justin's lips, it took a second before she responded. She felt the sparks of electricity to course it's way through her body. Gradually, she was laid on her back, Justin kissing her lips gently, while Mihoshi busily began to undress the shorter girl.
"What are you planning on doing with me?" Ashley managed to say between the kisses.
Justin smiled, "You'll see."
With that, Justin's lips moved down to her neck, kissing and licking her. At this point, Mihoshi had gotten Ashley's shoes, pants, and underwear off, Justin slid his hands under her shirt, gently carressing her breasts, his touch sending the short blonde girl even higher. Her eyes were closed in obvious pleasure, her back arched as Justin's hands continued to touch her. Each fingertip sending sparks throughout her entire body.
Mihoshi went to work as well, gently kissing Ashley's lips, which was eagerly returned. Ashley slipped her tounge into Mihoshi's mouth, exploring her mouth, running her tounge over the blue-eyed girl's teeth.
The kiss parted for a brief moment to remove Ashley's t-shirt and sports bra. Mihoshi went back to kissing her lips, teasing her every so often. Ashley let out a gasp when Justin's mouth closed around her nipple and began to suckly on her breast, Mihoshi was to far behind in doing the same. Ashley couldn't hold back her moans of pleasure, and she let out a soft moan, her back arched again.
Ashley and Justin's lips reunited once again in a deep passionate kiss. Mihoshi continued her way down Ashley's body, kissing and licking at her skin, sending a tingle down her spine that run up and down a few times. It wasn't long before she reached Ashley's sex, she began to rub her, causing Ashley to moan loudly into Justin's mouth.
The short haired girl gasped even louder when Mihoshi slid a finger her into, creating that small bit a friction as her finger moved back and forth in her. Justin once again trailed his lips down from Ashley's lips, down to her breasts, which he began to suckle once again. With that, Mihoshi added a second finger increasing the pleasure. Ashley moaned loudly lost in a sea of pleasure.
Mihoshi and Justin exchanged glances, and nodded. Mihoshi slid her fingers out of Ashley, Mihoshi moved up toward Ashley's head, and began to kiss her passionately, Ashley eagerly returning it. Ashley looked briefly at Justin as he laid down on top of her, his hips going between her legs, their skin tingled where they met. Justin looked at Ashley kind of asking her if he should or not, she simply nodded. With that Justin gently thrust into her Ashley moaned loundly, then Mihoshi kissed the girl's lips, muffling her moans. Justin began to pick up the pace, thrusting faster and faster. The pleasure increasing, then, Justin finally climaxed, his muscles relaxed everywhere, he was breathing heavily, as was Ashley and Mihoshi.
Justin pulled out of her and laid down next to her opposite as Mihoshi. Ashley fell into an easy sleep between the ones she loved.
~*~
The ringing phone woke up Justin the next morning, he sat up groggily, shuffled over to the phone and answered it.
"Hello?" He grumbled still half asleep.
"Sorry to wake you up, but, I found out something this morning about her death." The person answered, it was the guy with the goggles that kept stealing the free samples at the coffee shop.
"What'd you find out?" Justin paid close attention to the perosn's answer.
"There wasn't just one assassin, there was two assassins involved in this. Whoever fired it, was still on the roof and got away while you were chasing after whoever was, in short, a decoy." He explained.
"So, I'll have to find the decoy to find the killer." Justin thought out loud.
"Sounds like that'd work. Well, talk to you later, go back to sleep." With that, the guy hung up, as well as Justin did.
Justin stood there for a minute thinking, but was shaken out of his thoughts when a pair of arms wrapped around his waist and held him close to their warm body.
"Mihoshi, you startled me." He said calmly.
"I'm sorry, but you looked like you needed a hug."
"Yeah." He trailed back to his thoughts, 'I'm getting close Vera, I just know it.'
