Chapter 5: Lies Beyond Truth Part 2

"IF Kyle is really a girl then try to get as close to her as you can; physically. If you're able to get her aroused, it'll be even better for this experiment. If she's displaying signs of arousal, hug her. Pull her close to you and you can conclude from there."

These words were echoing inside of Kiko's head as she wanders back to the festival. She wanted to take the risk yet she was uncertain. Questions started to appear inside of her mind; "What if Kyle thinks I'm a pervert?", "What if Kyle really is a girl? She will think I'm weird and perverted and stop being my friend?". The "What if…" questions were endless and Kiko was having a hard time weighting the pros and cons of this situation. However, a certain someone was also experiencing the same matter on hand.

Kai, who was pacing back and forth awkwardly, pondered the "What if…" questions too. He didn't understand why Kiko touched his chest and why she was being… perverted. He never knew this side of her before but perhaps, it was forgiven because of their age. At this age, they were free to explore, to feel, to experiment and to be curious about certain things in life. However, why was he the lab rat? Of course, if that was really the answer then the kissing could also be forgiven for the same reasons too. Feeling better than he ever was, he walked down the path that led back to the nearly ending festival.

An hour later, Kiko and Kai crossed each other's paths and they made their exit out of the festival grounds. Kiko who has decided to do the experiment, made a suggestion to Kai to watch a movie since the night was still living. Of course, Kai agreed and was unaware of what Kiko had actually planned in store for the both of them. As Kai went to change into casual attire, Kiko set up her experiment and positioned herself on the couch and pretended to sleep. A moment later, Kai came back into the room and discovered that Kiko was sleeping with her kimono slightly loose on her body. Kai decided to let his friend sleep and started the movie. As the screen blurred with motion pictures, Kai glanced at his friend. Kiko was spread out on the couch in a way that allowed the exposure of her chest in an angle where Kai could easily see from his seat. Kai stared at his friend's face as he admired her slightly redden cheeks and his eyes followed the line of the kimono and stopped on her chest. Kai could his feel his heart beating a bit faster than usual and he felt as though he was burning slightly; similar to a fever. He stood up and made his way to his friend, he couldn't take his eyes off her. He was attracted to her like a North and South Pole of a magnet. As he edged closer to her, he could smell the captivating perfume she put on. His left hand itching to touch her soft skin, her soft hands but just then, Kiko stirred. Kai pulled back a little but only to discover that Kiko stirred to change her position. She was now spread out completely like a "T" shape. Her face was facing him and her left hand drooping down. Her kimono slid downwards more because of her left hand, giving Kai a full frontal view on her left chest. Kai was getting uncomfortable yet at the same time, he hungered for it. He had a burning desire inside of him to touch Kiko and place his lips over hers. Waves of heat was traveling through his veins like never before, he couldn't take it. He had to leave that room, now. He tore his eyes away from Kiko and stood up and headed for the library.

He closed the door to the library and stood behind the closed door, pushing his back against the door to support himself. He couldn't believe what he felt back there. He was driving himself mad, how could he think of touching his friend! Was he insane or is there something wrong with him! He placed a hand over his heart; it was still beating just as fast in that room. He decided to read a book to calm down; he walked over to the large bookshelves and picked out a book called "Human Anatomy". He flipped through the first few chapters with no interest until one diagram caught his eyes. His eyes were focused on that one diagram. His mouth opened a bit but it opened more as he read the diagram's description. It read

'the anatomy of a male at its well developed stage. It consists of a penis, the most sensitive membrane and the place where seeds or sperms and other urinal materials are released through the tip of it. When it is sexually aroused, it will become hard and it can cause the release of sperms into its sexual partner during sex. If the sperm is met with a female's egg, there are possible chances of that sperm and egg developing into an offspring." .

Kai was too stiff to move. He allowed the book to slide out of his hands and dropped on the carpeted floor with a 'THUD'. His mind raced with questions and as he eyes darted back to the diagram lying on the floor, he satisfied some of his questions. He was a male. A sixteen year old male. Someone who was raised as a female, hiding his true identity. 'Why?' 'Why me! Would someone please explain this to me!' he wanted to scream but no sounds came out. Kai understood why he was having urges to touch Kiko, why he kissed her, why his body was burning up. It was because of him, he was a male and he was aroused! He picked up the book on the floor and searched under the female anatomy in the index. He looked at the diagram and took his shirt off. He discovered he was flat, no possible hints of any chest or softness as he used his fingers to apply pressure on his chest. The conclusion was, he was a male. As he stood up, a "THUD" echoed in the room. Kai turned around and saw a video tape was on the floor and standing near it was Kiko! As his eyes met her face, he could see that she was shocked. Her face a pale shade of color, her eyes were still and not sparkling. Her mouth frozen in a small "O" shape and one of her hands covering her mouth. Water began to wet the eyelids, forming small droplets as they slid down her face.

Kai snapped back into reality but before he could explain anything, Kiko said "You…you…you're a guy. A male. You… you really are a male… why? Why Kyle? Why did you lie to me! You were lying to me this whole time! Why! I… I.. I hate you Kyle Hiwatari!" as she turned around and exited the library.

"No.. no Kiko! Come back! Y..Y..You don't understand!" Kai rushed out of the library and heard the loud "SLAM" of the front door being closed. Kai, being shirtless opened the door and ran outside; hoping to find Kiko in the near distance. He looked around and saw no traces of her whatsoever. He tried calling out her name but no response came. Slowly, he walked back inside of his house and closed the door. He couldn't believe what he had just discovered and how he had just lost a friend. Like the winter weather, he felt cold and lonely.

End of Chapter 5

Well, I hope you enjoyed this chapter! Just to clear up some possible confusion; Kai was in too much of a shock to hear the door being open and Kiko walking in because his back was facing towards the door. When he stood up, Kiko saw a clear frontal view of him. Hope that will clear up possible confusions. Comments and Flames are welcomed! Sayanora
