First Kiss at a Swimming Pool

Masane is standing with Stella outside the dorm doing some swordsman training though the mother can tell that something is bothering the burning princess.

"Hey Stella, it's something wrong? You can always talk to me." Masane asked concern.

"Well, it's been two weeks since Ikki and I became a couple, but…" Stella paused as her grip on the wooden sword tightens.

"I understand, Ikki has done anything romantic to you yet, just remember that this is new to Ikki too. So, I'm sure he's thinking of doing something special with you." Masane assured.

"I guess, but I'm worry that Ikki's new popularity might get in the way of that." Stella pointed.

"Yeah, everyone in school have started calling Ikki from "The Worst One" to "Another One" after seeing winning a few more matches." Masane chuckled.

(Lunchtime)

"Oh, some of Ikki's classmate has asked him for swordsman training?" Masane asked as she is sitting down with Shizuku and Alicefor lunch.

"Yes, that's what I heard from Stella and I believe that newspaper girl will be there probably as well." Shizuku answered.

"Kagami, I guess she'll go wherever there's a good scope." Masane joked.

"Yes, that woman certainly knows where the nose follows." Alice punned, the two share a laugh together.

"Mother, I'm worry that Ikki training them may create more competitions for the selection matches. Don't you think it may cause some problems?" Shizuku asked worry.

"Probably, but I don't think it would bother Ikki a bit." Masane said, confusing Shizuku.

"Ikki wants to become stronger too and if he thinks helping other students would give him the challenge then he'll welcome it. He also wants to help them be prepared when they face threats outside of the school." Masane explained.

"Ah, just like when we faced that terrorist group at the mall." Alice said understanding this.

"It sounds like big brother is being too generous." Shizuku commented.

"Yeah, you maybe right about that." Masane agreed.

(The Next Day)

"Uh, I see you're already starting your training class." Masane said as she watches Ikki train two female students as they balance on one leg with Kagami writing on her notebook.

"So, what exactly is the purpose of this training exercise?" Kagami asked.

"You could say it about balancing your legs, putting more pressure one than the other. Ikki learned this from the Chinese history." Masane explained.

"I see, I mean I don't understand this, but I'm writing down word for word." Kagami said.

"(This girl sure is honest.)" Masane thought with a sweatdrop.

"You look like you're having fun, being surrounded by girls, you worthless knight." A tall male student with blue hair glared at Ikki as he and his friends surround Ikki.

"(Oh boy, I was afraid of this might happen.)" Masane thought, knowing there are other students who still think Ikki is a weakling.

"Miss Amaha, aren't you going to do something?" Kagami asked worry.

"Don't worry, Ikki got this." Masane assured with a gentle smile.

True to Masane's words, Ikki has all six of the male students without even bring out his sword and even manage to stop the tall blue hair male student from using his gun with a little rock, and to their surprise the bullies have quickly surrender wanting Ikki to train them too and they're even calling him master.

"Amazing! Even the worst bullies are immediately reformed, this is the revolution Ikki Ahama method. I bet I could make big money if I sold this online." Kagami excited as she writes this down.

"Hey, my son is not a toy!" Masane angered.

(Later)

"Wow, your class is really getting big, Ikk." Stella surprised to see more students joining in while Kagami is just taking pictures.

"Yeah, I guess it is." Ikki agreed.

"You know you have make time for your own training including with Stella, you two haven't spent much time together… as a couple should do." Masane pointed out.

"Oh, I'm sorry Stella, was I making you lonely?" Ikki asked and Stella's face almost blush.

"O-Of course not, I was just, huh, getting myself ready for our next t-training session." Stella stuttered.

"A-Anyway, I brought you some water in case you're thirsty." Stella hold out a water bottle in front of Ikki's face.

"Thanks, I am feeling thirsty." Ikki accepted the bottle.

"Oh darn, and here I was hopping to offer this orange soda I brought." Shizuku sighed as she walks to them.

"That's very sweet of you, Shizuku, I'll be sure to drink it later." Ikki promised as he takes the soda can.

Shizuku look at Stella with a smirk which she responds with a little glare, even though Stella is Ikki's girlfriend they still compete for his attention and affection.

"Oh, boy." Masane said.

After today's training with the students, Ikki and Masane are talking outside the student dorm.

"Oh, you want to take the training to the swimming pool?" Masane asked.

"Yes, I want them to drift in the water to improve their lungs lung capacity, but also for them to connect to their true inner selves as they emerge." Ikki explained.

"As always, your explanations are confusing to understand." Masane stated.

"Well, I'm sure it'll become clearer to them." Ikki said before walking away to his dorm.

"Stella, I'm home." Ikki announced as he enters and Stella jumped in surprise throwing her arms around.

"Uh, is something wrong?" Ikki confused.

"N-N-Nothing! Anyway, what were you saying about tomorrow?" Stella asked. She hopes that Ikki wouldn't find out that she was playing a dating video game.

"Yeah, for tomorrow's swordsmanship training I wanted to take Shizuku and the others to the pool, and I was wondering if you like to come?" Ikki asked.

"Oh really, it's not like you can teach me anything." Stella said feeling offended.

"That's because you're too far advance with your skills, our styles are different too." Ikki mentioned as they sit down.

"What do you mean?" Stella asked.

"I'm style is all about trickiness while yours is strength. I want you to get stronger with your own strength, to always go beyond my imagination." Ikki encouraged.

This shock Stella and also brought a new fate in her love for him as she smiles.

(Next Day, Pool)

As everyone enters the area, they changed into their swimsuits since they're gonna be in the water for today's training. The six former bullies admire the view of seeing all these girls in their swimsuits including Stella wearing a two-piece brown bikini with white spots and light-green design, Shizuku is wearing a pale-yellow summer dress over her orange swimsuit, Masane is wearing a two-piece red bikini, and Kagami is wearing a one-piece black tight-like swimsuit. Then the boys got weirded out when seeing Alice wearing a female swimsuit.

"Wow, so this what a Japanese pool is like." Stella amazed.

"I guess a princess living in a castle doesn't know about the world that you've never seen a pool." Shizuku mocked.

"Oh yeah, but in my castle, we call a pool this size a bath." Stella bragged as the two rivals glare at each other.

"Come on, girls, what have I told you about getting along?" Masane sighed.

"Fire and ice may create steam together, but they can't always agree on everything." Alice stated.

Everyone saved for Masane and Stella got into the water as Ikki explains the purpose of today's training though Stella feels a little unwanted with Ikki paying attention to them more than her.

"I know he came here continuing giving his lessons, but I wish he spent a little time with me too." Stella said as she held a beachball tightly.

"Yeah, I even helped picked out that bikini too." Masane nodded then the beachball suddenly slip out of Stella's arms and bounces toward a girl's butt.

"Oh, I'm so sorry." Stella apologized.

"It's okay." The girl said as she walks away.

Stella and Masane continue watching Ikki giving his lessons, they became a little curious about the method he explained and decided to give it a try for themselves as they drift themselves into the water and focus all their thoughts into their deepest part. For Masane, she hopes that this might give her a little clue about her past since she lost her memories which she sees is her Device though getting a feeling that it's more than what it seems and she knows it more than she realize.

Then an image appear that looks like a little girl, but she couldn't make it as the image is blurry though she feels like she knows that little girl.

"So, I'm curious, how far have you and Ikki have gone?" Kagami called out, snapping the two out of their deep thoughts and Stella gasps going up for some air.

Masane surfers seeing Stella coughing a bit while pat her back.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know that question would surprise you." Kagami apologized.

"What do you mean how far have we gone?" Stella asked nervous.

"Well, you guys are dating, right?" Kagami asked.

"D-Don't be ridiculous, a princess of a nation dating a commodore like him, that's insane." Stella lied hoping to keep their relationship a secret.

"Oh yeah, they're totally dating." Masane blurted out.

"MASANE?!" Stella gasped.

"I think we know that when Kagami smells a good scope, she won't stop until she finds out the whole truth." Masane pointed out.

"That is correct." Kagami smirked. Stella let out a sigh of defeat.

"Yes, we're dating." Stella admitted.

"I see, and don't worry, I won't tell anyone." Kagami promised which is good for Stella.

"You asked about how far they've gone, well, to be honest it's only been two weeks and Ikki is still new to dating, so they haven't exactly done anything special." Masane explained.

"Really, not even a kiss?" Kagami asked.

"No…" Stella hanged her head.

"You know, I couldn't help but notice that you like being close to Ikki and it's not because of writing something for the newspaper." Masane guessed with a teasing smirk which made Kagami flinch a bit.

"Well, it just that Ikki is not only super strong, but also a very nice guy too." Kagami said nervous.

"Yeah, his generosity and his dedication, all those things are so dear to me." Stella said.

"But you haven't open up to him about your feelings, and sometimes guys don't open up to their feelings either. Shizuku is pretty straight forward girl though I think she can come on too strong." Masane mentioned.

"Yeah, like that kiss she did when she arrived at the academy." Kagami chuckled.

"…I'll admit that I was jealous that Shizuku stole Ikki's first kiss, but that doesn't mean I'm giving up." Stella determined.

"Great, then I think it's time you have a talk about this right now." Masane said as she stands up.

"Wait, what?" Stella confused.

"We're going to get Ikki, make sure you tell him you want to do it!" Kagami said as she and Masane run off to get Ikki while Stella becomes nervously scared.

Soon, Stella finds herself being alone with Ikki inside the small water tower where they can have some privacy though it doesn't appear to be going well for Stella like when she asked Ikki about her bikini, Ikki said she looks really nice but didn't look like he means it. Ikki then brings up if they should keep on dating pointing out that they haven't been acting together which made Stella believes that Ikki wants to break up with her.

"I was thinking the exact same thing, there was no way this was ever going to work." Stella said sobbing as she turns her back on Ikki.

"Uh, Stella?"

"Of course, understand of a girl who doesn't even hold your hand, you prefer Shizuku who's all over you or Kagami who's rubbing her chest on you." Stella blurted out sobbing.

"Rubbing her… where is all this coming from?" Ikki confused.

"Doesn't matter, we're talking about breaking up, are we?" Stella asked.

"Wait, calm down." Ikki tried to reach out for her, but Stella slaps his hand away.

"Did I do something to make you mad? Tell me what it is, and I'll apologize, are you mad at me?" Ikki asked again.

"It's because I know that you hate me." Stella answered.

"How can I hate you? I never said anything like that!" Ikki protested.

"You don't have to say it, I know." Stella claimed.

"No, you do not know that, and it's simply isn't true. Where did you even get that idea? It's pretty clear you're the one who hates me." Ikki proclaimed.

"No, I do not! Don't be stupid, I really like you, Ikki!" Stella said.

"No, like you more!" Ikki said.

"That is such a lie. I so like you more, I know you wouldn't look at my bikini and I know you don't' care about me because I wasn't quick enough!" Stella mentioned.

"Stop, I'm gonna get mad." Ikki warned.

"You're already mad, dumbass!" Stella yelled.

"It's because you're driving me crazy! This amazing girl I really like come out in a bikini and she's all cute and hot, and how the HELL do I NOT get excited about that?!" Ikki yelled back.

"You look interested in my bikini at all!" Stella pointed out.

"Because I didn't want to objectify you that you would hate me, besides you said that really like me, but you haven't done anything to show me that in any way!" Ikki said.

"I can't just say I want to make love with you, I didn't want you to think I'm a slut and not like me!" Stella explained.

"Me either!" Ikki agreed.

"Well, okay then." Stella said.

"So, why the hell are we still yelling at each other?" Ikki asked.

"I don't know anymore!" Stella said and they finally stop yelling.

"I got an idea." Ikki said.

"What?" Stella asked.

"We can tell each other at the same time what we want." Ikki suggested, Stella nod and they both said the exact same time.

"I want to kiss you."

They look at each other deep into their eyes and Ikki leans in a quick peek on the lips as this made Stella happy.

"Tell me, would you hate a naughty girl who would ask her boyfriend for a kiss?" Stella asked smiling.

"There is no guy who doesn't appreciate a naughty girl. How about you, would you hate a guy staring at you like you're the hottest thing ever?" Ikki asked back smiling.

"Yeah, definitely, but you're allowed, Ikki." Stella answered.

And the two couple lean closer to each other for their first official kiss of lovers.

(Bus)

After the day of training at the pool, everyone is on the bus riding back to the school with Ikki and Stella sitting together in the back and holding hands, Masane looks over her shoulders to see as she is sitting with Shizuku.

"It looks like they managed to work out their feelings, that's good." Masane said.

"Even so, I still wish to be more than Ikki's little sister." Shizuku sighed and Masane pulls her onto one of her breasts for comfort.

"I know." Masane said. "(Because the truth is… I also have deep feelings for Ikki.)"

KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
