Hello folks, Here is Chapter 2 of Love Trials The Chronicles. Please R&R and let me know what you think.
Author's Notes – I have seen Junpei spelled two different ways. Junpei and Junpi but most of the sourcesI could find spelled it Junpei, so I am leaving it that way.
Love Trials The Chronicles
Chapter 2 – Evil Plots
Junpei was just finishing up revising chapter three when the phone rang. Jumping up he excitedly looked at the caller id on the handset. Kitaouji, why is Satsuki calling me? I really had hoped it was Aya-chan. Answering the call his voice rang with curiosity.
"Hello, this is Manaka." He paused, waiting for Satsuki to speak.
"Hi, Manaka-kun this is Satsuki and well I sort of have a favor to ask of you. Could we go on a date? I need a guy's advice while shopping." She smiled letting the mood carry over to her voice. "Please Manaka-kun say you will come with me, tomorrow after school." The hopeful excitement in her voice surprised him.
"I suppose I could, I'll meet you at the flagpole after classes. Is that all right?" He thought about the next day relieved that he didn't have any after school duties.
"That would be great, Manaka-kun I really owe you one, thanks. I'll see you tomorrow. Sleep well Manaka-kun." Suddenly Junpei heard dial tone beeping in his ear.
Wow, she sounded kind of odd, what did she mean by sleep well? He thought about her tone which sounded different. Ah well women don't always make sense. He shrugged it off before preparing for bed.
-------
Satsuki plotted the rest of her plan as she walked to school. I need to make sure Toujou knows we are going on a date and I need her to end up where we are.
Hey, her eyes widened as an evil thought entered her mind. Maybe I can convince Hiroshi to bring her to the shop, if we met them by accident Junpei might think they were on a date too. Hiroshi should be easy to convince. A maniacal light entered her eyes as she approached the school.
------
"So you have to do this for me please." Satsuki smiled sweetly at Hiroshi before whispering in his ear. "I promise….," Her voice quieted drastically. She watched satisfied as Hiroshi turned pink and practically drooled at the thought.
"All you want me to do is distract Toujou-chan at lunch. Then after class bring her to the lingerie shop appearing as if we are on a date." He glanced at her quizzically to see if he understood.
She nodded, "It's that easy to get what you want." She left the thought unfinished leaving the rest to his imagination.
Hiroshi thought for a moment before answering. Is this really such a good idea? What if Manaka finds out? Ah what are the chances of that and she promised…His mind could not fully comprehend the idea yet. He finally caved in, nodding excitedly. "Okay you have a deal and I guarantee you it will look like we are on a date."
--------
Satsuki smirked as Hiroshi left for his seat. That was just too easy, you promise a man something simple and they cave. Watching the students come into class she glanced around for someone to talk with.
Just minutes before the bell, Toujou walked in to the class and headed towards her seat. Satsuki sat idly waiting. Thank Kami her seat is directly across from me. She waited for Toujou to approach.
"Good morning Toujou-chan," She smiled trying to seem friendly. "What are your plans when class ends today?"
"Um I'm not sure yet because the Movie Club is not meeting today. I was thinking of asking Manaka-kun to work on chapter ten. It still needs some help." She smiled shyly not sure what to make of Kitaouji-chan's overt friendliness.
"Oh my, didn't Manaka-kun tell you, he must have forgotten. Silly Junpei-kun," Satsuki giggled laying it on thick. "I am afraid we have a date after school. He promised to take me shopping." She watched as Toujou's eyes widened slightly.
Score one for me, Satsuki thought as the bell interrupted. She turned as Sensei began a lecture. Glancing surreptitiously over at Toujou she was happy to see the little gaki looking mildly upset. Oh just you wait, it's only going to get worse.
--------
Aya left the class at lunch. Heading for the cafeteria she watched for Manaka. Wandering around, she was surprised when Hiroshi-kun approached her.
"Toujou-chan, just the girl I was looking for. Can I beg a favor of you? Will you come with me to the school roof?" He leaned in whispering in her ear. "I don't want to discuss the favor here where everyone can hear."
Aya glanced up at him to see a shy nervous Hiroshi slightly blushing. Understanding shyness she easily agreed. "Sure let me grab my lunch first."
He smiled down at her. Women really are suckers for shy awkward men. I cannot believe Sempai was right. He hid his smirk and led her to the stairwell.
When they reached the roof they were quite alone. He wandered over and picked a spot to sit and began unpacking his lunch. Aya followed him and knelt down unpacking her own lunch.
"I feel kind of silly asking this of you Toujou-chan but could you go shopping with me? I need some a woman's opinion and I thought since you have good taste I would ask you." He hid his smirk and looked shyly away.
Aya's eyes widened in surprise, he needs a woman's help? I wonder what he wants to shop for. Well it can't hurt since Junpei is busy anyway. "I could help you I guess, I have nothing else to do." She smiled shyly at Hiroshi and then glanced away.
"Really that's great, you will be helping me so much." Hiroshi smiled at Aya and then changed the topic to mundane things.
--------
When the final bell chimed, Satsuki hurried to the flagpole. Junpei stood waiting for her casually staring off into space. Sucking in her breath she stopped just to stare. He looks so handsome; I just cannot wait. Hurrying up to him she smiled brightly.
"Junpei-kun I am so glad to see you." She reached over and latched onto his arm. "Are you ready, let's go?" She glanced up at him to find him smiling at her bemusedly.
He nodded his head and began heading for downtown. Walking together and chatting, Satsuki leaned her head on his arm.
"I am so happy this is going to be such fun, plus I can really use your opinion because you have good taste." She peeked up at him to gauge his reaction. He was staring off into space. "Junpei-kun what are you thinking about?" Idly she pretended to be interested.
He glanced down at her blushing. "Oh eh well my thoughts were just kind of wandering off. Sorry, I am not trying to spoil your fun." He glanced down at her with an apologetic look. "So where are we going? Did you have a store in mind?"
She pointed up ahead, "That one there looks good, come on." She tugged on his arm enthusiastically hurrying him forward. In a few minutes they were at the door and she opened it and pulled him in.
Junpei stopped just inside the door glancing around in surprise. There were women's panties and bras everywhere in every shade imaginable. Junpei's jaw dropped open as he stared around the room. He could hear his heart thumping in his chest. Panties…bras everywhere, he stood dumbstruck just taking in all the different styles.
Satsuki took one look at his face and wanted to laugh. Instead she grabbed his arm again. "Junpei-kun I need your help in choosing some new things, what do you like?"
His head whipped back towards her at hearing the question. He gulped, what do I like…on her? He stammered trying to get words out. "I think…well that is…what do I like? Um well…" He paused trying to gather his random thoughts. Pick your tongue up man. What do I say what do I say? He ran sweaty hands down his slacks and tried to focus.
"Yes what do you think would look nice on me?" She asked him flirting outrageously. "I think pink maybe or a dark green?"
"Pink…Green, uh yeah that would be nice." He was drooling at the thought.
"Will you come tell me which looks better?" She watched as his eyes nearly crossed. Laughing to herself she pulled him over to the sales rack and grabbed a pink checkered set of bra and panties. "What do you think?" She held them up shoving them practically right under his nose.
Junpei was shocked to be staring at women's underwear close up. "Wow um I mean wow well sure." His hand reach up to touch the fabric and then he dropped his hand down to his side.
She grabbed another set in dark green velour. "Come on, I have to try them on and see what you think." Satsuki pulled him towards the wall where the curtain dressing rooms were. "Wait right here and I'll be right back.
She walked into the dressing room and hurriedly changed into the skimpy pink set of underwear. She opened the curtain and strolled out standing saucily.
"Well Junpei-kun what do you think? She watched as his jaw dropped open again. I must look good if his jaw just fell open. Smiling she heard the door opened and turned towards the door. When it opened and she saw Hiroshi guide Toujou in she put the last part of her plan into action.
Grabbing Junpei she toppled over backwards pulling his weight with her. She easily guided his head forward making sure his face ended up sunk in her chest. Giggling loudly she purposely drew attention their way.
"Junpei what are you doing, it feels nice whatever it is." She smiled at him and giggled some more, "Stop that tickles."
Junpei blushing crazily tried to pull his face out but found it mashed between the two globes. Finally with a funny pop his face slid free. Glancing down at Satsuki he was surprised by the slight blush on her face and the odd look in her eyes.
Hearing a throat being cleared, his head whipped around to find Aya-chan standing next to Hiroshi-kun. His arm was resting easily around her waist and she stood looking down at the two on the floor with a strange expression on her face.
FIN - Here is an end to Chapter 2, I hope you have enjoyed it. Please review and share your thoughts. Sorry for the cliffhanger, I just don't know how Aya is going to react yet, ya know, so be patient and I will update soon with more.
