Chapter 8 of ?
Sue walked quietly out into Hatori's garden. She came upon the pair, now lounging in the grass. They were asleep, Mary tucked close to Hatori's side. Sue smiled wryly...but she felt sad.
Sue squatted down beside the napping couple and watched them for a few moments.
"How long are you going to just stare?" Mary murmured without opening her eyes.
"Are you both awake?" Sue asked, eying Hatori suspiciously.
"I doubt it," Mary replied.
Sue stayed silent.
"Go ahead and say it," Mary muttered.
"About damn time," Sue responded, grinning.
Mary just smiled back at the other girl. "Mmmm, yeah," she finally said.
Silence stretched between the cousins as they stared at each other.
"Shigure told me his story," Sue finally spoke.
"About Kana-san?"
Sue nodded.
"He told me, too," Mary whispered, glancing up at Hatori's sleeping face.
"How does that make you feel?"
Mary thought a moment, brow furrowed. "Sad."
Sue nodded. "But...Shigure says he's never tried to find anyone new."
"Until me."
"Uhn," Sue replied. "I mean, I can see why, but still...it sounds so...so..."
"Lonely?" Mary provided. "We haven't been much different."
"Yeah, but it seems different."
"I think I know what you mean," Mary said. "You think...that he felt love before, so strongly...and then had it taken away from him. You think...to have just a taste would make him search for it again forever."
Sue nodded. "But, instead..."
"He locked it all away," Mary finished.
They fell silent again.
"But," Sue continued. "At least he didn't shut out his capacity to love."
Mary smiled.
"I'm going to go back in and talk to Shigure," Sue announced.
"Oh, really," Mary drawled.
"He's a fascinating person," Sue said, slightly defensive.
"I'm sure he is," Mary winked. "Go. Have fun."
Sue began to leave.
"Will you at least warn him before you jump him?" Mary called after the girl.
Sue tripped slightly but kept walking.
Mary settled back against Hatori and marveled at the situation. She could feel his heartbeat beneath her ear. She could hear his breath as he breathed. Mary was close to Hatori. And it felt really, really good. Mary closed her eyes and moved closer to him. In sleep, Hatori pulled his arms tighter around her and Mary smiled before dropping off into a light doze again.
"How long do you think they'll be out there?" Sue wondered aloud, leaning against the doorway.
"Ahh, with Ha-san, you never know," Shigure answered. "We've known each other all our lives, but with this, especially after Kana-kun, even I don't know."
"What are you working on?" Sue asked. Shigure had been sketching and writing for several minutes.
"Oh, this?" Shigure grinned at Sue. "Just a little something I've been dabbling on."
"Tori-san, I'm here!" a voice suddenly rang out before Hatori's door slammed open.
"Aya!" Shigure exclaimed as the other person came into view.
He was, by far, the most sparkly man Sue had ever seen. She wondered if he had glitter embedded in his person.
"Gure-san!" the man gasped. "Now this is a pleasant surprise. But...who's this?" His gaze turned on Sue.
"This," Shigure said, sidling closer to Sue and draping an arm over her shoulders, "is our new friend, Sue. Sue-kun, this is Souma Ayame."
Ayame's eyes had widened when Shigure put his arm around the girl...and nothing happened.
"I see you've realized we can embrace and nothing happens," Shigure said with a broad smile. "It's a bit of a story, I'll tell you later."
Ayame looked between Shigure and Sue.
"Oh, Gure-san!" Ayame cried before whirling around. "You have been cheating on me! I knew it was only a matter of time, but...too soon!"
"Aya!" Shigure exclaimed, moving to comfort the other man. "You know I would never betray you!"
Sue immediately picked up on the half-serious, half-joking nature of their banter and grinned.
"Do you really mean it?" Aya asked with wide eyes. He'd taken one of Shigure's hands in both of his and was staring up at the other man endearingly.
And then suddenly, Ayame was on the floor. With a Sue firmly glomped on him.
"Aya, I think you've made an impression on our new friend," Shigure deadpanned.
Sue looked up at Shigure and gave him a wink. Which caused him to completely forget what he was going to say.
"Oho!"
Ayame exclaimed. He struggled to stand, a task made much more difficult
as Sue was still attached to his back. "I like this one. Can we keep
her"
Shigure snickered. Sue giggled.
"What are you doing here anyway, Aya?" Shigure asked.
"Oh! I was just stopping by to see Tori-san," Ayame replied, straightening his clothes when Sue finally removed herself. "But, now that you're here I can go ahead and give you the thing you requested."
From out of nowhere, Ayame produced an extremely cute, light blue, and very revealing maid's dress. Shigure hung it up by the door and examined it from various angles.
"Good!" he finally said. "Great work, Aya. Exactly what I was looking for."
Sue eyed the dress. Sue eyed Shigure. Sue eyed the dress some more. Sue plotted mischief.
"Where is Tori-san?" Ayame asked, glancing around.
"He's outside with Mary-san," Shigure said. "She's a friend of Sue...and also like Sue."
"They're sleeping together," Sue said before bursting out into giggles.
"In public?!" Ayame exclaimed. "I never knew Tori-san had it in him. This, I must see." And with a toss of his hair, Ayame was gone, bouncing out of the room and stealthily making his way through the garden to the sleeping pair.
"He...bounces," Sue breathed.
"That's Aya," Shigure said, smiling.
Sue grinned and turned to look at the dress again. "So, is this what you were working on?"
"Ah," Shigure admitted. "I use it for inspiration. Aya is a bit of a dressmaker and he indulges my requests."
"It's really cute," Sue remarked, finger to her lips.
"Uhn," Shigure replied. "Aya really did a fine job."
"Can I try it on?"
"Er..."
But Sue was already heading toward the changing screen, dress slung over her shoulder. Before Shigure could say anything more, clothes were appearing over the edge of the screen as she undressed.
"Oh, my," Shigure thought. He was completely enthralled and his imagination was running wild. "High school girls, high school girls, high school girls," his little tune rang through his head.
Sue squirmed until the dress fell into the right places. In addition to being very cute, it was also very small.
"May as well flaunt what I've got," she thought to herself as she employed a trick of contortionism to zip up the back of the dress.
Sue inspected herself in the little mirror behind the screen, posing this way and that. It was extremely low cut and had a built-in push-up bra feature. Very push-up. The hem of the dress was just barely long enough to cover the important bits.
And then Sue got a very naughty thought. Quickly, she stripped off her panties and, instead of hanging it over the screen's edge, treated it like a rubber band and let it fly. She heard Shigure squeak and she knew her aim had been true. Sue took one last look in the mirror before stepping out from behind the screen.
Shigure sat at the table in the middle of Hatori's room, most of his body hidden by the table. Thankfully. Especially after those panties came flying right at him. And most especially after Sue sauntered out from behind the screen.
"How do I look?" Sue asked, posing.
"Er...very cute," Shigure managed in a strangled voice.
"Are you ok, Shigure-san?" Sue asked in her most innocent voice. "You sound like you're in pain." She approached him and sank to her knees so she could be on eye level with him. And, of course, to flaunt her cleavage, but that wasn't her fault.
"Oh, just fine!" Shigure said, trying to sound natural and failing miserably.
"Oh! That dress looks quite good on you, Sue-kun!" Ayame's voice rang out.
Shigure and Sue's heads both snapped to the exterior doorway where, much to Shigure's dismay, stood Ayame, Hatori, and Mary.
Sue winked at her cousin before standing. Mary approached her and circled her with a critical eye.
"You're looking quite the nymphet, aren't you?" she whispered in Sue's ear. Sue giggled.
"Nice dress, you are very skilled, Ayame-san," Mary said in a louder voice.
"Maybe you could ask him to make your wedding gown," Sue murmured. Mary smacked Sue's ass.
"What happened to your underwear?" Mary muttered.
"I think Shigure stole them," Sue muttered back.
Mary was on the verge of exploding from keeping her laughter in check.
"Ayame-san has graciously invited us all out for dinner," Mary announced to Sue and Shigure. "Shall we?"
"I'll change," Sue replied before whirling around and heading back to the changing screen. A few moments later she was back, having done the quickest costume change in history. Mary eyed her suspiciously. "What? I'm hungry."
"You're always hungry," Mary said.
"Are we ready to go?" Ayame asked, looking around expectantly.
"Um, I'll catch up with you," Shigure said. He was still sitting at the table. "I just thought of a great idea and want to write it down before it disappears."
"Ok, Gure-san, but don't make us wait too long," Ayame pouted.
Hatori picked up his car keys and lead the way out of his office area. Sue turned at the doorway and looked back at Shigure. Mary's eyes widened at the look on Sue's face.
"We'll be waiting for you to come!" Sue exclaimed before Mary rudely shoved her out into the hallway.
Both women practically ran out of the house and into the courtyard before bursting into giggles.
"I can't believe you just said that," Mary said. Sue merely grinned at her.
"Is everything all right?" Hatori asked as he and Ayame caught up with them.
"Just fine," Mary said, smiling at Hatori. He graced her with a smile before holding his hand out to her. Mary took it and together they made their way down the street, walking close and talking softly.
"Shall we?" Ayame asked, proffering his arm to Sue.
"Sure!" Sue replied before linking her arm with Ayame's.
Several minutes later, Shigure stumbled out of the front gates to the main house looking a little weary. He couldn't get the image of Sue in that dress out of his head. Or her words. She had to have known the effect she had on him. Shigure shook his head in an attempt to clear it and headed for the restaurant where everyone was waiting, unconsciously fingering a pair of panties that had somehow made its way into his pocket.
