A/N: I cannot lie... It's been about two months since I have done this chapter, or maybe a month? I'll have to check...
As I said, I have been at it with working on new chapters, pretty much every day and my work ethic for this story have gone up by x4.
It has been a matter of waiting for the review to get done.
I think from here on out I will push for the updates to this story to come out more as I want to get up to 40-50 chapters out by the end of the year, maybe 40 as I would have to become a shut-in lol.
Make sure to read Imherepresents Truth Be Told and Recollections.
Chapter 207: The Interlude
With Ichika Orimura and Lingyin Huang
Location: Somewhere in the city of Osaka
Before the Gathering
"We must surely be in the clear now, right? They've been gone long enough so they must be..."
"I agree, luckily we were able to steal a few pairs of sunglasses before anyone would notice. If we didn't, we would have for sure been caught by goddam paparazzi following us! Now those girls know that we're in the city somewhere... just great!"
Rin threw her hands in the air as the two of them stood in the middle of an alleyway, the two had long escaped anyone chasing after them of course. The feeling of defeat lingered in Rin's heart as her original plans for the day were quickly washed away as soon as they were caught red-handed by normal bystanders that roamed the city of Osaka.
"There isn't much we can do now except try to salvage whatever we can from this day."
Ichika turned towards the exit of the alleyway as he noticed the several passing citizens that walked past the two as they talked with each other in the small yet cramped alleyway.
I'm not too sure what we can do now, anything I considered wanting us to do has mostly gone out of the window as it's getting later on in the day." Rin sagged as the poor girl wanted to give up and roll over in the hands of fate.
Ichika chuckled wryly before scratching the back of his neck, scanning his mind as he tried to come up with something for the two of them to embark on.
Moments passed by as the two stood by in silence, standing opposite each other.
"How about we grab dinner and head back to the hotel? That way we can explain to the girls what we were doing and hopefully wait for it all to blow over?" Ichika suggested as he leaned his head on the back of the wall, his mind thought about the angered faces he would see once he returns to the hotel.
It made the young teen shiver, to put it simply.
"Are you crazy!? They will grill us for information as they'll think we were trying to escape to the outside without them!" Rin exclaimed as she tried to make her point clear to her childhood friend.
"We technically did, I believe we should explain a little at least, they're probably angry enough with us as it is right now." Ichika felt shivers run up his spine as the feeling of them cursing his name became more apparent.
"Good point but still! Just leave it all to me, I can deal with the others when we get back."
Rin let out a sigh and crossed her arms. Ichika nodded in response as he hoped she had a good coverage plan for them, otherwise, they would be sentenced to the same fate.
Ichika knew he would like to avoid that at all costs.
Their tendencies to jump to conclusions in a fit of rage had made Ichika feel quite scared whenever he got the feeling that he was doing something they wouldn't have liked, he ultimately knew that they were angry for a reason, the teenage boy wanted to tend to their needs but couldn't help but feel that at times it was almost impossible, it was something Ichika knew the girls had to deal with on their own sometimes, no matter how much Ichika did not like it.
"Well we better leave this place and find somewhere nice to get something to eat as you suggested, I'm starting to feel hungry." Rin tapped her skinny belly as she felt the need to eat food, Ichika nodded with her as he took a glance at her.
Turning around Rin placed her left hand on her back as she stretched her worn-out limbs. Ichika chuckled and shortly followed behind Rin with a warm smile on his face.
"I'll pay, of course, make sure you order as much food as you can eat, of course."
"Ehhh!? No way! I'll get fat!"
Rin disclaimed as they walked out of the alleyway and onto the pathway following several other strangers. The two clearly heading deeper into the city whilst the sun went down slowly.
"Come on Rin, you're really skinny, it's almost quite concerning at how skinny you truly are."
Ichika wrapped his arms softly around her neck as they continued to walk. Rin blushed lightly as she and Ichika stumbled forward with no place in mind to go.
"But! But... don't you like me being skinny? I thought all guys preferred women that are on the skinner side..." Rin blushed lightly as they came to a stop due to a traffic light being red.
Looking anywhere that wasn't Ichika, Rin felt her face began to warm up.
"I like you for who you are Rin, whether that be for the bubbly girl you make yourself out to be, not for your body or anything else related to that, the person who has been with me since I was in middle school, the person who... continues to fight alongside me and the others. I may not say this enough but, I do truly care about you."
Ichika couldn't help but speak with his heart as he made his feelings clear to Rin.
"Oh, come here you dumbass!"
Before Ichika could even process what was happening, the young girl buried herself in him as she threw herself onto him without anything holding her back in the slightest, her hair covering the sides of her face as she blushed lightly. The words of Ichika Orimura, her childhood friend and the man she loved more than anything, clearly effecting the young maiden.
Ichika smiled warmly as his arms enveloped the younger girl, the two of them from afar looked like lovers having a moment as many people tried to ignore the love-fueled heated passion happening in the city of Osaka.
Many moments passed by...
For Ichika and Rin this time felt like hours for the two of them as they continued to be enraptured in each other's presence.
"You know you can act quite cute sometimes, how I was oblivious before was beyond me." Rin giggled as she leaned back and met the eyes of Ichika.
"W-Well! Only because you know how to bring that s-side of me out Ichika." Rin turned her head as Ichika held her shoulders gently.
"Well if that's the case I may have to bring out this adorable side of yours more often then."
Ichika chuckled lightly as he turned his head to the sign, checking to see if the light that allows them to cross the street had turned red yet, to the unfortunate dismay they were forced to wait a bit longer.
"O-Only if you take responsibility for what happened between us not too long ago..." Ichika remembered what his friend was pointing out, he remembered perfectly as the image still stood tall in his mind.
The many moments Ichika had shared with each girl flickered through his mind, he knew that the girls would never understand the complicated position he is in truth, their love and admiration for him practically oozed out of the girls when he thought about it, Ichika knew he wouldn't be surprised to find out more ladies had fallen under his spell.
Ichika also was aware that it would only everything a lot more complicated.
"We can discuss that another time somewhere else Rin, let's just enjoy the day for what it is, for now, it's getting late and we have not accomplished much since that whole fiasco earlier today."
"Agreed. Say, I wanted to ask whilst we are at a standstill, it seems like some of the war divas are going to be at that event or whatever it's called tomorrow, although not all can make it due to the gathering in France alongside that... did you know that the likes of Sakuya Tachibana and the other's will be there?"
Ichika's eyes widened for a few moments, the teenager thought for a few moments before locking eyes with the Chinese girl that stood in front of him.
"I did not, I haven't truly gotten to talk to some of the war divas yet, I may make an effort to get to know them to find out more." Ichika scratched his forehead, the young teen thought about numerous conversations that could take place.
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beeeeep!
The traffic light turned green, many civilians slowly in a pack began to walk across to the other side as Ichika and Rin shortly followed behind the group, with cars put to a halt of course.
"At least you've met them, so you already know a little about what they are truly like."
"Good point, due to everything that had happened previously I figured it would be wise to at least understand their motives as they clearly have more experience in this world than I do."
"You talk like your fighting with one hand behind your back."
Rin giggled as she found Ichika to be more amusing, the teenager with jet black hair was glad his friend could find amusement out of his words.
"Of course not, one of them is Sakuya Tachibana, the mother of our good friend Sakura. I want to understand the type of environment that she grew up in and the hardships that others have faced."
Ichika thought to himself as he tried to find a better way, to sum up, his thoughts in words to Rin.
"I understand Ichika, it's the principle of listening to others, understanding what others have gone and going through and using that information to learn about who they are and learning yourself from it?"
Rin rhetorically asked as she thought she knew what Ichika was trying to say, the teenager responded by nodding vigorously.
"Correct, after everything had blown over with my sisters during my battle with them, I realized that I should understand the people around me rather than being ignorant and dense."
"I don't think being dense is something you can change overnight, Ichika."
Rin snorted as a warm smile appeared on her face. The two had reached the other side and started walking down one of the many long winding streets within the city of Osaka. Passing by many shops, in search of places to eat yet nothing in particular catching their eyes.
"Point taken, I'm sorry if I am still quite dense these days, just know I am trying to become less of an idiot." Ichika scratched the back of his head.
"I think it's a part of what makes you, you. Without your unique traits then you wouldn't be the same person who I want to spend my time with, Ichika."
Rin smiled brightly as she stepped in front of him, causing him to stop in his tracks as his eyes widened.
"Thank you Rin, that was surprisingly kind."
"Yeah Yeah, Let's hit this place already! It has so many different kinds of food that I want to try already!"
Rin grabbed the arm of Ichika and dragged him into the restaurant to the side of them. Ichika allowed his friend the satisfaction as he half expected her to drag him along to a place she wanted to visit. Luckily Rin was bringing the two into the restaurant to have food as Ichika did feel slightly hungry for all of their numerous adventures around the city, trying to avoid their friends in all. Rin dragging him around was becoming something of a norm to the young man.
Although Ichika realized, he didn't really mind it at all.
With Charlotte Dunois and the others
Location:? France
A Day Later...
"It's good to have you here Ran. Although it's a little late, it's still good to have you here."
Smiles all around, Charlotte held her hand out towards the red-haired girl as she shook it gently, with a smile of her own forming on her face, Ran wore a tank top with light blue shorts and a cardigan to go over her, all-around a normal attire for the first-year student.
"Thank you! I was forced to stay behind and complete a ton of work before being allowed this mini-vacation of some sort." Ran let out a sigh as she explained her reasoning for being late.
"We understand Ran-san, it's good to have you here, the more the merrier I think they say?"
A curious Cecilia Alcott greeted the red-haired girl before going off into a thought frenzy of her own as she tried to think of the correct saying, Ran nodded in response, her mouth opening to say something and her eyes told the rest of the ladies that she was trying to say something.
"What's the matter?"
"Are you feeling rather unwell, Ran-san?"
Charlotte and Cecilia asked kindly as they became slightly concerned for their red-haired friend, Ran giggled slightly.
"No, no it's not that, I just forgot that a certain someone has decided to join us today." Ran pointed towards the plane behind them as the ladies saw a familiar figure pulling out a suitcase full of stuff.
"Alys? Yes, we knew she was supposed to becoming."
"Yeah, miss Orimura mentioned this to us a few days ago now."
Charlotte wore an amused expression on her face as she and the second years already knew about the arrival of Alys Crystal, the pink-haired girl dragged her suitcase down a small flight of stairs as the group continued their conversation.
The fourteen-year-old girl sported a similar attire to Ran, Alys had messy waist-length pink hair placed into a neat ponytail alongside sporting a grey jumper and black shorts on underneath. Her expression was beaming as the younger girl walked ever so closer to the group of ladies that stood a few meters away from the welsh teenager.
"It's been a while since I've seen you look so bright, welcome aboard Alys." Charlotte welcomed the younger girl with a warm smile on her face as Alys crystal noticed all eyes were on her.
"That's probably because of all the work I have been given! Uuuuu!"
The younger maiden complained as she remembered the different pieces of work she had to do outside of class and inside of the classroom alongside her fellow students.
"That's what you get for arriving later than others into the academy." Tatenashi warned as giggled.
"But it wasn't my fault! I had no idea what I was really getting into by signing up to join this academy!" Alys huffed as she felt tired just thinking about it.
Alys Crystal, a welsh fourteen-year-old girl that had not long ago joined the rest of them at the IS academy, had begun to leave a standing impression on each of the women that got to witness her 'unusual behavior.
To put it simply, Charlotte and the others found it amusing and odd at the same time.
"You know girls, she reminds me of an explosive version of Sakura." Tatenashi Sarashiki pointed out as she played with the zipper of her coat.
"An explosive what now?"
Alys Crystal's expression quickly changed as she didn't hear what the president had to say properly, Tatenashi waved her fan in her hand and stepped forward, sporting an amused expression as her hands reached into her pockets.
"It doesn't matter too much now, ufufufufu! well, I'm sure we could spend hours talking but I think it's better if we used the rest of today preparing to attend this stupid event already." Tatenashi gestured for all of them to walk out of the private airfield and onto a few vehicles waiting on the road.
Charlotte nodded before walking alongside Tatenashi with the others following behind slowly but surely.
"Well speaking about this event actually, at least I get to see some of my family for once, it feels like a very long time since I was able to talk to them without any sort of restriction." Charlotte smiled as she imagined talking to those from her past.
Tatenashi turned to Charlotte with a raised eyebrow.
"If I remember correctly, the last time you got to visit them was with Ichika?" Tatenashi guessed as her mind scrambled for any proof to back herself up.
"Yes, that was the last time, of course, I have had phone calls with my aunt and some of my other relatives, but it doesn't really feel the same as talking to them in person," Charlotte explained as she went along with her thoughts that popped up into her head.
"Nee-san, our family will be there as well." Kanzashi said as she followed behind Tatenashi and Charlotte.
"Yes, I know, although I don't think they truly want to go to this thing."
Tatenashi Sarashiki appeared to be uninterested in hearing her own family attending, Charlotte picked up on this and made a mental note to confront the eldest sister of the Sarashiki clan later on.
"Say, where's big brother? I thought he would be joining us out here."
Alys covered her face as the sun began beaming into her eyes, the rest of the ladies began looking at each other as they wondered who was going to tell the welsh international, Marika rolled her eyes as she noticed her friend's eyes land on her.
"Hmph! I am not telling her."
"I will."
Emelia let out a sigh as her mind ran through different situations on how Alys could react. Charlotte and the rest nodded as they understood that the pink-haired girl that recently joined them, was going to feel deflated for a while.
"Hmmm?"
"Ummmmm Alys, Ichika is with the other group in Osaka, they are attending a separate event like the one we will be attending on behalf of the IS academy students." Emelia played with the stray brown locks of her brown hair as she laughed wryly.
"Eh?"
Any expression on Alys' face dropped as she stared at Emelia with a dumbfounded expression, unable to comprehend and believe what her friend just said.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
A few moments passed of silence, eyes wandered as they waited for one of them to break the silence between them.
"Change of plans I'm heading back! Pilot! Take me to wherever big brother is!" Alys turned around and began walking towards the plane.
Before she could walk any closer, a hand was pressed onto her shoulder as a way of stopping her from moving anymore, Alys looked over towards the person placing a hand on her shoulder in surprise. Kanzashi Sarashiki gave the poor girl a look of pity that Alys recognized all too well.
"No! Take me backkkk!"
The welsh girl known as Alys Crystal struggled against the grip of Cecilia Alcott, Kanzashi Sarashiki, and Emelia Moretti holding her back as she used all of her strength to make her way closer towards the plane that brought her here.
"You can't go back Alys-san! We have to attend this party and show off our prowess!" Cecilia clenched her teeth as she and the other two managed to pull her back.
"Cecilia is right Alys! Who better than all of us here to represent those of the IS Academy? Can you name me anyone better?"
Emelia used her strength to pull Alys closer towards her and the ladies as the pink-haired girl still put up a fight against them, any motivation behind Alys wanting to see Ichika Orimura or otherwise known as her 'big brother' was slowly slipping away.
"But..."
"Ummm, think about it! We were selected to represent the academy for a reason! Let's try to live up to that!" Kanzashi gave words of wisdom to the younger girl as she began to stop fighting together.
Alys Crystal soon gives up and came to a standstill, allowing the girls who were stopping her for a moment to breathe and recapture their composure.
"Fineeeee, this better be worth it! Hmph!"
Alys pouted as she turned back to the group, getting a myriad of different looks.
"I'm sure we will all have a great time out here in France! I still remember when my mother used to take me out to fancy parties like the one we are going to attend soon, try not to be too down ladies! we are only here for another day or so! Let's make the most of this!"
Charlotte laughed wryly as she saw the mixed reception from her friends.
"I'll try..."
"It would be better if big brother was here you know..."
"I don't know about you girls but I'm already having a great time out here! no work as the president makes things a whole lot easier~" Tatenashi Sarashiki covered her mouth as she yawned, feeling a sense of refreshment wash over her as she enjoyed every second she was away from the academy.
"I agree with nee-san here, to some degree anyway. I think we can use this opportunity away from the academy to show independent we are to Ichika, maybe that way he will lust after us."
Kanzashi began to format a plan in her mind as spoke out loud.
"I think Ichika lusting after us because we are independent women would be quite creepy in reality Kanzashi..." Emelia laughed awkwardly as she tried to let her friend know.
"Where are we heading now? Charlotte-san?" Ran brushed a few strands of her red hair behind her shoulder.
"Well..."
Charlotte chose not to answer the question, instead of allowing the girls to make up their own guesses on where they were heading next, Charlotte decided to leave the answer with a small smile rather than answering her kouhais question
"Hmmm?"
A while later~
"So... you brought us to get dresses? I thought we were going to wait a bit longer and then pick out our dresses later on in the day?" Tatenashi Sarashiki wore a curious expression as Charlotte had led them to a store in the city of Paris, one owned by the Dunois family.
"Well... if we wait a bit longer then we won't be able to relax our bodies for tomorrow's exciting event."
Charlotte scratched the back of her head as she gestured for her friends to walk deeper into the store, many dresses were placed into glass containers with very expensive tags on the sides, showing the full price of one of the Dunois family's pre-made dresses.
"Woah these are really high-quality Charlotte-san!"
Cecilia continued to look at the different variants of dresses that surrounded her in the store.
"When I was a child my mother decided to expand the Dunois name and create several stores across France for those who wanted to buy our unique clothing that was made by the best tailors that were known."
Charlotte wore a small smile as she made it known her family was well known across the whole of France, being that her family was more than prestigious, the Dunois family was considered to be on par with the Alcott family who was also had many connections in Great Britain, the Dunois family also had many connections to France in different ways that weren't just business.
Charlotte's family was very well respected for doing honest work and building up the many companies the family owns, which were now mainly Charlotte's to inherit once she is old enough to inherit it.
Cecilia Alcott was also in a similar situation with her family's riches and companies.
The two being seventeen years old and not old enough to inherit that sort of power made other members of the Dunois family was run by Albert Dunois, Charlotte's father with who she had a rocky relationship.
"Your mother sounds very kind Charlotte-san." Cecilia praised Charlotte's deceased mother.
"She was while I got to know her, it's just sad she had passed away before she got to see what her family was capable of building..." Charlotte smiled sadly as her hands clasped each other behind her back.
"Ah, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to upset you!"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"It's fine, it actually feels rather good to be reminded of her presence, I still miss her which is why I will one day take everything she and my family built and elevate it to the next level."
A bright smile appeared on her face as she walked forward, for a few moments the other ladies remained silent as they did not want to bring up her past, Cecilia understood to some degree as her parents were unfortunately deceased.
Just like anyone, Cecilia back then was hit by it of course.
"Cecilia? Cecilia?"
"Hmmm! oh! I'm terribly sorry! I was in deep thought about what to wear! hahaha!" Cecilia Alcott walked over to a beautiful dress that was black with straps that held the dress up.
Cecilia took it off of the hangar and placed it in front of her body, analyzing and seeing if it would fit properly.
"Wow! that dress would look amazing on you!"
A familiar girl wearing a giddy grin stared at her with excitement in her eyes, the girl was stood next to Ran Gotanda, who also held a blue dress in her hand, neatly folded up and over her hand like a butler would carry clothing.
"Oh, you think so? Thank you Alys-san!"
"So, you are going to wear black now? I never thought of you to be the type to be a scandalous girl that wears a skintight black dress to the party, Cecilia." Tatenashi Sarashiki smirked as she approached Cecilia with a wicked grin on her face.
"I wouldn't say black dresses are scandalous..." Emelia Moretti giggled slightly as she watched her friends.
"I agree with Emelia nee-san, I like black dresses as much as the other colors, although I prefer a red dress myself, but none of the less! black dresses look awesome as well!"
Kanzashi suddenly appeared behind her sister as she stared at the older onee-san.
"Oh really? well, that's quite funny actually, a little birdy told me that Ichika will be turning up at the party and loves black dresses, especially when it's a skintight dress that is... ufufufufufu!"
Tatenashi Sarashiki grinned like a Cheshire cat as the atmosphere between the girls became quiet...
"Hmmm! Would you look at that! hey, Cecilia can I borrow that black dress?" Alys Crystal smiled creepily as she reached out for the dress in her hands.
"No way! I already was looking at that specific dress earlier so I should be the one having that dress!" Kanzashi spoke out and got one hand on the dress alongside Alys and Cecilia as the three began to tug at the dress.
"Come on guys..."
"You really shouldn't believe Tatenashi..."
Emelia Moretti and Ran Gotanda attempted to be the voice of reason as they saw through Tatenashi's lie instantly, however, the other ladies in front of them seemed to go along with it and began to fight over the dress.
"..."
Marika on the other hand began to facepalm, alongside the other two was not falling for Tatenashi's lie.
"Hey, give me that dress!"
"No! It's mine! I need to look good if Ichika-san does arrive in France!"
"Hold on! He needs to see my sexy and alluring body so he can fall in love with me already!"
"No! No! I need the dress so my figure and beauty for sure get the attention of the world! especially for Ichika!"
Letting out a sigh, Emelia Moretti and Ran Gotanda let their friends battle over a dress, a part of them still somewhat confused on why they had easily fell into the trap of Tatenashi Sarashiki, however, the red-haired girl and the famous singer knew better than to let Tatenashi Sarashiki's words get into their head.
Although a part of Ran Gotanda wished her brother's friend Ichika would end up turning up at the party that they were going to attend, although Ran had already realized that they were already getting ready to attend their event.
Emelia Moretti on the other hand allowed herself to zone out as she thought deeply about everything happening around her.
'Jeez... today is going to be a long day, I wonder what the others are up to? hopefully, they are having a good time at the party in Osaka, after all, they need it, and they also need to show what us IS students are capable of.'
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"EVERYBODY RUN! THOSE THINGS ARE FLYING OVER THE CITY!"
Within a matter of a second or so, Emelia felt her heart drop as the people passing by the store that was owned by the Dunois family, their panicked expressions made each of the ladies in front of Emelia worried and confused.
Each individual running for their lives as they refused to look back.
It was at that moment for the girls that they realized that everything was not as it seemed. Emelia specifically, walked forward to check what was happening within the windows on top of the mall they were in.
From the sight of it, many are units flew over.
With Ichika Orimura
Location: Osaka
A Day later...
The young teen known as Ichika Orimura was currently stood in the lobby of the event, having been here for a while, the only male IS student had made himself quite well-presented in front of those who had wanted to talk to him about the academy and many other things aside from that of course.
His friends were not long away from arriving, since then Ichika knew he had to make himself preoccupied with the people around him, whether it was making small talk to waste time with some of the most influential people within the room.
Although Ichika Orimura knew it would be slightly awkward to approach people he did not know.
Since arriving, of course, Ichika Orimura had felt a strange feeling that he was unable to shake, it was like the looming aura was lingering somewhere in the building, although Ichika noted it down to be his mind and body playing tricks on him.
"Oh! Have you seen her?! She's gorgeous!"
"Wow! I wish I could be as beautiful as her! I cannot help but feel jealous!"
"Look at that dress!"
"Her blue hair is magnificent! Her slender looks and her arousing aura make me want to go wild!"
It was an odd aura that Ichika Orimura had been feeling, it was like it was a very familiar aura that he had been dealing with in the past, it was something that he felt that resonated with him, the hint of mischievousness behind the power as it surged throughout the building.
Making everyone obviously enticed, especially Ichika as he stared outside the window and towards the hills in the distance.
"Hello, Ichika."
Looking towards the hills, Ichika couldn't help but feel like someone was watching him from there.
"Ahem! Mr. Orimura?"
Snapping out of his thoughts, Ichika looked over his shoulder to see who was calling his name, seeing a woman wearing a beautiful skintight red dress with long luscious blue hair.
His body trailed every inch of her as he took in her slender body, her slender legs that were shown slightly as his eyes continued to linger on her.
Her perky breasts sticking out in the dress as if they were begging to be released from their confines.
Her lips a cherry red color as she smirked at the younger boy.
And finally, her eyes met his own as she stared with all of the love in the world at the boy in front of her, Ichika's own eyes beginning to widen as he realized who the woman was in front of her.
"Hello Mr Orimura, nice to meet you, I must say you are rather... dashing."
"H-Hello Miss-"
"Call me Miss Itsuka, Ichika."
Her endearing smile and her presence within the room made Ichika feel slightly off, on one hand, he was very surprised to see her here, on the other he was kind of glad that he got the chance to see her again.
Ichika understood where the aura was coming from now, the woman in front of him made it more than obvious.
"Oh my, we seem to be attracting a lot of attention from these... people around us." The woman with blue hair analyzed, her hair falling over her shoulders as it became clearer to Ichika she had put the effort into her appearance.
"It seems that way." Ichika was still in shock somewhat.
"Care to go in the other room with me Mr. Orimura?" Her lovely smile reminded Ichika of their last meeting, the torch he held for her was immaculate.
"... Sure."
The woman with blue hair held out her hand with a warm smile on her face, only looking at Ichika as she ignored everyone around them. Ichika could feel the different types of looks he was receiving from the men, jealousy, anger, hatred, and annoyance at him.
Ichika did not blame them with all things considered, a rare beauty like his sister he currently led towards the main room, was someone that all men wanted to be with, to put it simply, the ideal woman in most men's minds.
Opening the door whilst the older woman held his hand gently, Ichika led them in whilst others talked to each other.
"What are you doing here Chisaya?"
"I wanted to see my little brother and lover... Am I not allowed to visit you?" Chisaya asked with a Cheshire cat-like grin whilst her eyes remained on Ichika
"...You haven't caused any issues whilst you were here right?"
"Of course not, don't get me wrong, I really wanted to, but I know little brother would be more than angry at me if I started hurting those who were hitting on me earlier. Ufufufufufu!"
"You were being hit on?"
"Oh? What is this I detect? Is little brother jealous? Hmmmm..."
"Not at all, you already know that you are my woman, although I like your attempt at making me jealous, however, you must not forget that I am the only man that can see you in such a... lustful state."
The dirty talk between Chisaya and Ichika was starting to turn the older sister on.
"Oh, baby... you sure know how to fuck a girl."
"What can I say? When my slutty sisters think they can get away with being naughty, I surely have to punish them right?" Ichika and Chisaya spoke to each other quietly as they got to their own section in the large white room, whilst everyone else talked and ignored their presence.
"Hmmm... I wonder what type of punishment I will receive for turning up looking all... Sexy and slutty?"
"None for tonight for reasons which you are clearly aware of, however! You being here tonight has reminded me that I should put a leash on you girls." Ichika's left hand was placed on the wall to the side of her, corning lustful-looking older sister of Ichika's.
"Oh? Do you want to put us on a leash? You should know I'm down to try anything, ufufufufu!" A light blush appeared on her face as hearts also appeared in her eyes.
"I did not mean literally, but anyway, that's beside the point, I wanted you and my other nee-san's to be involved more..."
"..."
Ichika's eyes flashed red for a brief moment, his eyes returning to brown within a few seconds.
"You've been a naughty girl, I don't know why you are here but I will not let you out of my grasp now that you are here..." Ichika's eyes stared into the depths of Chisaya's soul, the older sister found herself at a loss for words.
"I-Ichika..."
For the two, everything around them was non-existent and to them, it was also the same to the others within the room, they had hardly noticed Ichika Orimura's presence.
"Why are you acting so cute? It makes me want to bully you..."
Ichika Orimura's eyes turned back to a blood-red color as he struggled to get his words out, letting himself go on autopilot mode as he leaned into Chisaya's neck, the older sister holding a bright red blush as her hot breath tickled Ichika's neck.
"Hyah..."
Biting down on her neck, Ichika left a mark before backing away slightly, their foreheads colliding as Chisaya looked ready to be taken.
"As much as I would like to 'teach you a lesson, I cannot do that..."
Backing away, Ichika moved away as he gave Chisaya some space as his eyes returned to his usual brown eyes.
"Ichika..."
"My friends are going to be here soon, but before that, I want to know your intentions with being here." Ichika placed a hand on Chisaya's shoulder, his expression turning slightly serious as he watched his sister squirm.
"M-My Intentions? It's you Ichika, I am here because of you." Chisaya recovered her breath as her eyes stopped on Ichika.
"Is that so? Well, we can discuss this later on when this is all over."
"I have to go back soon, everything we have worked on is starting to unfold quicker than I or the other's expected." Chisaya moved her body off of the wall so she wasn't leaned against it.
"I am too preoccupied to get the answers to that, so I want you to come to me when this is all over." Ichika rubbed his eyes, his body slightly tired and off as he looked over his shoulder.
"I don't thi-"
"No excuses, if you do not at the very least visit me after tonight, I will be waiting at the IS academy," Ichika told his blue-haired sister with a stern expression.
"..."
Chisaya nodded in response to Ichika and began to walk past Ichika.
GRAB!
"Wait... Are you going home? Is mom there?" Ichika reached for Chisaya's wrist and pulled her back.
"Ufufufufu! You want a message to be passed on right? I can tell by your expression." Chisaya smiled deviously as she looked at Ichika.
"Yes... Tell her I love her and that... I expect to see her soon."
Ichika felt a lump forming in his throat as he managed to get his words out, the thought of his mother had always made him nervous, his memories were still somewhat clouded, especially the memories of his mother.
Chisaya nodded as she understood the meanings behind her little brother's words, she could see in his eyes that he missed the woman known as his mother without knowing too much about her, Chisaya closed her eyes for a few seconds as she knew she should have expected such a reaction.
CLANK! CLANK! CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!
Watching his sister walk away from him, Ichika averted his eyes for a moment and noticed her aura disappeared quickly.
Not only that but she herself had disappeared.
"Ichika? What are you doing standing alone in this corner?"
A certain familiar woman who Ichika knew all too well, especially the other girls behind her, her busty dress held back her ample breasts as she had her hands on her hips with a warm smile on her face. A surprised expression quickly grew on Ichika's face as he checked around for his older sister who was here mere moments ago.
Ichika let out a sigh of relief, the idea of his sister's encountering his other female friends whilst Chisaya was deeply in love with him was not he knew would go down well without him being around.
"Hey ladies."
Ichika's eyes lurked on each lady as they watched him with a myriad of different expressions on their faces, not wanting to think about it, Ichika found their presence here to be more than welcome.
With Chigusa Orimura and the other sisters
Location: Main Headquarters of the Orimura Clan
"So, you are saying that the blue-haired bitch Chisaya decided to take a trip to visit little brother when we are supposed to be holding ourselves from doing exactly just that?" Chigusa's expression showed that of an annoyed person as she listened to her mother's clone.
The woman who resembled her mother so much stood right in front of her with a neutral expression.
"That is correct, it is believed she left some time ago with her reasons being rather unknown, although we are keeping tabs on her and will make sure that she is put back in her place very soon."
"Good, that whore needs to be taught so, especially when we are just as desperate as her." Saya shrugged her shoulders.
"For once I agree with her."
"Same here, I'd loving nothing more to run into Ichika's arms as we make passionate love, but we all know why I cannot do that, her getting ahead like the greedy whore she is, does not help anything."
Yuuko imagined her and Ichika reuniting once more to be a rather 'loving and passionate' experience for her.
"I don't entirely blame Chisaya, I am incredibly close to doing the same thing she did, although I imagine my 'trip' to visit Ichika would be to solve this infuriating amount of lust building up inside of me." Misaki pushed up her glasses as she placed the book she was reading on her lap.
The back and the cover are completely exposed.
"That 'lust' you talk of is to do with the aftermath of Chi-Tsuki and those pleasurable nights you spent with Ichika back then, you will feel unmeasurable desires to go and 'ride' that stick of your brother's, however, you must think of it as a mission that you have to complete, you must not give in to your desires yet," Nobume explained vaguely as she gave them a new order.
Question marks appeared above the heads of the Orimura sisters as their faces resembled the question 'Why Not?'.
"Why not? After all, I have tasted little brother in all of his glory, nothing wrong with wanting more, ufufufufu!"
"..."
"How am I supposed to relieve the sexual frustration I have pent up inside of me? I can only please myself to pictures of Ichika for so long..."
The busty redheaded sister known as Saya Orimura began to receive odd looks at her sister for her awkward reply to Nobume's command for them to not visit Ichika at any cost, although it was strange, the other sisters still agreed with her.
"Ummm, Saya?"
"...What?"
"Too much information you whore, save that for after training." Chigusa rolled her eyes as she crossed her legs.
"Oh please! Don't act like you don't masturbate over our little brother! I know for sure you are lying if you say you aren't!" Saya crossed her arms as she made eye contact with each of her sisters.
"Of course, I do but I do not start bringing up what I do in my 'alone time' here, that's the difference."
"Oh? So now you are trying to act like some pure maiden?!"
Nobu watched on as the aura's of Saya Orimura and Chigusa Orimura began to grow immensely as they continuously went back and forward with their sly remarks to each other, the older woman was almost tempted to allow the two sisters to battle it out but an afterthought came to the woman.
Her thoughts began to flashback to a previous time of one of her times monitoring her master's son, Ichika Orimura.
"That reminds me, 'that plan' is knocking on the doorstep of the Tachibana clan and that friend's family of Ichika's, it will not be long now until it begins if it hasn't started already." Nobume rolled up her sleeve and checked the time.
'So, it has already begun... Interesting, luckily I had the opportunity to check up on that son of-'
Nobume stopped in her thought of tracks as she realized what she was thinking, although she was a clone of Ichika's mother, she had almost begun to think of Ichika as her son instead of being the son of her original copy.
Slaaaaaaaaaaap!
The sisters of Ichika Orimura watched on with confused expressions as Nobume Orimura slapped herself on the cheek for having such a thought, the idea of her getting complacent in Ichika's life was something she would have to work on.
After all, Nobume knew she was not Ichika's mother.
However, it did not stop the copy from having motherly thoughts every once in a while.
"?"
"That reminds me, I'm sure if you need to 'satisfy' those urges of yours, Ichika has a phone with a contact number inside of it so do with that information what you will like." Nobume turned her attention elsewhere as she had other things to take care of before anything else.
Leaving the remaining sisters to look at each other.
"..."
"..."
"... She didn't mean what I think she means?" Chiasa turned to her sisters with a curious expression threatening to break onto her cold demeanor.
"What's a contact number? I don't know what normal human's these days do
but it sounds largely pathetic."
"I wouldn't know, it's surprising to hear Ichika has it, must be Chifuyu..." Chigusa bit her tongue to stop herself from going on and on about her rival sister whom she disliked to a degree.
All of the sisters except Chiasa did not know what Nobume had meant.
"It's what that trash outside in the cities do, they use a 'phone' as a way of contacting other trash people through something called 'texts' or 'phone calls', apparently our little brother has it too."
Chiasa knew what this meant, with her arms crossed, the younger sister began to think of different ways to get Ichika's 'Contact Number'.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"That means..."
Saya began to imagine what the scenario in her head would look like, her mind slowly escaping from reality as she began to fantasize about the possibilities that were now open with her and her little brother.
...
"...1114...1115...1116...1117...1118... 1119!"
The man with jet black hair and a muscular back with sweat dripping down it, stood up straight from his push-up position, allowing himself to breathe in the cold air of the warm atmosphere around him as he relaxed his tensed-up muscles.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Ichika reached for the small towel to the side of him that he used to begin to wipe his face which was full of sweat.
His face entirely red from working out, the boy sat in silence as he allowed himself to recover bit by bit, wiping every ounce of sweat as the sunlight from the outside gleamed down upon him.
His hands eventually coming up and covering his eyes from the sun.
"I wonder what my nee-san's are up to? I hope they are training well..." Ichika let out a sigh as he stood up once more.
BEEEEEEEEEP! BEEEEEEEEEEP! BEEEEEEEEP!
"Hmmmmm?"
Ichika reached for the left-hand side of his pockets as he wanted to reach for the vibrating phone.
After a few moments of fiddling with his pocket, the heir of the Orimura clan eventually managed to pull out the mobile device before reaching for the button to turn on the screen.
Which showed him a notification from his 'Messages'.
The name of the user messaging him he knew all too well, a small smirk crept onto his face as he unlocked his phone.
Swiping left until he saw the green icon which said messages underneath it, clicking it, a list of contacts popped up but Ichika clicked the top person which was his sister who had messaged him.
His expression quickly changed from a smirk to a surprised expression.
...
[Saya-nee]
"'Ichika... Your nee-san is feeling rather dangerous tonight~ will you help your poor sister out?'"
"'Saya-nee! Sent An Attachment: '"
...
The little brother of Saya Orimura began to stare at the photo the older sister sent him, admiring every inch of her perfect body as she had sent him an innocent naked selfie of herself to Ichika.
The light blush on her face as her ample breasts were there for the taking within the photo, Ichika knew that Saya was trying to entice him into doing her, the problem was that Ichika also did not mind, the naked image of his lover left him holding his breath.
Her hair was no longer tied up in a ponytail but messily over her shoulders like how Ichika preferred her to look.
A small smirk on Ichika's face began to appear once more as his eyes flashed a bright blood red color, typing furiously on his phone as he wanted to respond as quickly as possible.
[Ichika]
"'...You caught me off guard ;), get over here already! I'll do more than help you out, let's say that at the very least.'"
...
"Saya?"
[Saya-nee]
"'I'll be seeing you soon my love~'"
...
"Saya!"
"Huh? What's going on?" The red-haired sister looked around frantically as she was brought out of her fantasies by her other sisters.
"What the hell were you thinking about? You better not be planning something behind our backs or otherwise, we may as well settle this outside already..." Chigusa cracked her knuckles with an annoyed expression across her face.
"Hmmm~ I'm not planning anything worthy of your thought!"
Saya stood up whilst wearing a warm smile on her face, her first reaction was to look over towards Chiasa with eyes that told the girl with snow-like hair that Saya needed her, Saya continuously looking at her until she was interrupted or stopped.
"You are definitely planning something..."
"Chiasa can you get us one of those... Mobile phones that you spoke of earlier? Oh! And while you are at it please get our little brother's number, I believe he and I have something very important to talk about~"
Chiasa stared back at her older sister, noticing that she was being 'kinder to her since her bringing up the 'mobile phones' earlier on.
With ?
Location: Osaka
"Wait... Are you going home? Is Mom there?"
"Ufufufufu! You want a message to be passed on right? I can tell by your expression." Chisaya smiled deviously as she looked at Ichika.
Watching from a distance as the brother and sister conversed about the mother of the two, the woman with many scars littering her body stood behind a pillar and a small glass of wine in her hand as she stared at it.
Continuing to listening to the brother and sister nonchalantly as she noticed others in the room barely seemed to pay the two siblings any attention, it was almost like they were not there or being concealed by something that only she could see.
'To think he got away from my last interview last time, I will find out everything about you Ichika Orimura, Chisaya Itsuka...'
Spinning the transparent glass in her hand, the woman in her twenties allowed the wine inside of her glass to constantly be moving around each side, her eyes never once moving as she thought to herself.
"Yes... Tell her I love her and that... I expect to see her soon."
The voice of pain yet sadness came through in Ichika's words as it had a much deeper meaning than the words suggested, the woman who once attempted to interview him, could not help but wear a slightly shocked expression as she realized that the 'mother' in the situation was someone who the young man had not seen in quite some time.
His voice and the way he chose his words told her all she needed.
Looking back on the conversation between the two siblings seemingly, there was a feeling of disconnect between the Orimura family and the Itsuka family, the woman wanted so badly to find out why they were siblings.
A cheating scandal perhaps?
Star-crossed lovers, that had multiple children together from two different families?
'No no no! That cannot be it! The little brother to those girls back then looked so similar to Ichika Orimura!'
The same little brother that the woman saw when she was with her 'friends' back in school in the past, the younger boy with a vibrant aura and a smile that was enough to lighten even the darkest person within a room.
The man that stood next to one of the girls who almost ended her life looked identical to her 'friend's little brother.
'Goddamit! Surely Ichika Orimura is that little boy from back then! He has to be! He even shares the same first name as the little boy that was introduced to me back then...'
The image of the two boys called Ichika Itsuka and Ichika Orimura stuck inside of her head as she tried to come up with any possibility of them being different people, their eye colors were similar, the aura they both gave off was very 'lively', their hair color being the same but much longer now than back then, and the final fact was Ichika Orimura was more than familiar with Chisaya Itsuka.
The young man even treated her like a brother would do.
Their relationship between the two was nothing normal of course, even if they shared the same mother.
The connection between the two was something more than she had ever expected, she could hear it in Chisaya's voice, every time she spoke was with a sudden calmness that made her sound like she was holding back.
It was like she could collapse and melt into Ichika's arm any second, but she held herself back with as much willpower as she could.
"..."
Letting out a breath as she watched the blue-haired vixen pass her, the woman stood up straight and turned her attention elsewhere, her eyes remaining as cold as ever, her mind remembering the events that happened in the past between her and the Itsuka sisters.
"I will find out everything about you Ichika Orimura, Chisaya Itsuka, and of course the other whore sisters."
