Pretty 35: Ageha x Matsuri

It's winter here at Maisen University High School for Girls, meaning the girls wear their winter uniforms, consisting of only the long sleeved light blue blazer. The main five, Ageha, Tsubame, Yoshimitsu, Meimei and Matsuri attend it despite them being ninjas themselves. It's a cold winter for sure and it's been snowing quite a bit recently for the past few days. However, Matsuri has a bit of a problem with the cold, but as long as she is with her teammates, she's fine.

Like right now, while they are on their way to school, Matsuri is shivering. However, Ageha takes notice and puts her scarf around her with a gentle smile on her face.

"Ah…thank you, Ageha-onee-sama…" Matsuri says.

Ageha nods as she takes her hand and walks along with her. Yoshimitsu's blue eyes sparkle in delight with Meimei and Tsubame sweat dropping from her excitement.

"You know, Matsuri and Ageha have been getting along very well," the blonde American says. "For the past week, I've seen Ageha care for our Native American friend. They are almost like sisters."

"We can definitely see that," Meimei says. "But she's my best friend too."

"I know you adore her, Meimei," Yoshimitsu says winking at the Chinese girl, making her blush.

"Come on!" Tsubame says. "Ageha-sama adores us as equally as Matsuri! She can't hog her all the time!"

"You love Ageha, too, huh~?" Yoshimitsu says, grinning. "What happened to that idol, Tamaki-chan, hm~?"

Tsubame blushes, but turns away, hiding it while crossing her arms. "Th-that was before Tamaki came into my life! You know my heart is all on her now, right?"

Yoshimitsu giggles. "Yes, yes, I know. You little cutie~!" She gives the petite girl a little noogie, but Tsubame pulls away.

Tamaki is not one of them, but is in an idol group called Milky Pop. She is the one who made Tsubame finally smile when she was having some hard times. Soon after, Tsubame developed a crush on the happy idol and then, after confessing her feelings, the two became a couple.

"Everyone," Ageha says, turning around. "We're going to be late. We need to hurry."

"Ah, yes!" Yoshimitsu says, nodding. "We're coming!"

The rest of the team follows Ageha and Matsuri towards the entrance where all the other girls are entering.

Later

Between periods, Matsuri looks out the window from the hallway, watching the snowflakes while clutching her text books. Her mind immediately has images of Ageha. She dosen't know why, but after spending some quality time with her, like studying, playing together and basically enjoying each other's company, she can think of nothing other than the beautiful Spaniard.

As the day goes by, classes go without trouble. And at the end of the day, Matsuri gathers her materials and goes toward the entrance to meet her five ninja comrades. They are already here waiting for her and the Native American smiles as she approaches them. They walk together towards the dorms to their own room they all share.

As everyone puts down their bags and Matsuri plops down on the bed, Yoshimitsu sits next to Ageha with a smile.

"Ageha," she says, "I have something for both you and Matsuri."

"Hm? What is it, Yoshi?" the Spaniard asks.

The all American blonde holds out a flyer. "There's a figure skating competition coming in a few weeks. And best of all, it's with two people. So you two should be a great pair~"

"Eh?" Ageha takes the paper from the blonde. "You know, I've never figure skated before."

"Ahhh, but you CAN dance, yes?" Yoshimitsu winks at her. "I've seen you during the festivals after all. Matsuri can learn a lot from you."

"Uhhh…" Ageha looks at Matsuri, who is tilting her head in confusion. "Matsuri-chan, do you want to figure skate?"

The Native American nods shyly. "Y-yes. It's immmm…very interesting."

Yoshimitsu clasps her hands together with a smile. "Then, it's settled. Tomorrow's the weekend anyways, so we'll go there to get you two some training~"

Honestly, Ageha and Matsuri are excited to do something fun together, but a little nervous as well since there IS a competition in a few weeks.

Next Day

By the time Ageha, Matsuri and Yoshimitsu come to the ice rink, they rent ice skates and come onto the rink. Ageha helps Matsuri step onto it with Yoshimitsu skating along in circles before rejoining her group. Ageha takes both Matsuri's hands and gently guides her along, skating as slowly a possible. Matsuri can feel her legs wobbling just from being afraid that she'll fall any second.

"You're doing good, Matsuri-chan," Ageha says softly. "I'll keep being your guide for the time being. Then, when you're ready, you can do it on your own."

"O-okay…" Matsuri blushes just from looking at the Spaniard's beautiful smile. She gently squeezes Ageha's hands tightly as she glides along with the Spaniard.

Yoshimitsu just skates along with them, watching them with a smile. "Yes, that's it, Matsuri! Hold on to Ageha and keep your balance at all times."

Matsuri nods, although she can feel her legs wobbling from time to time as she glides along. Ageha pulls her a little closer to her so she can feel a bit more comfortable. The Native American blushes from this.

"A-Ageha…onee-sama…"

"You okay, Matsuri-chan?" Ageha asks.

"I-I'm fine."

"Alright, if you're done with the basics, now you two should try dancing," Yoshimitsu says.

Ageha and Matsuri blush heavily at having to try it out already, but it wouldn't hurt to do it. Ageha slowly starts skating backwards with Matsuri still holding onto the Spaniard. Ageha then slowly lifts up her arm, signaling her to do a twirl. Matsturi does so, but ends up falling on her behind as a result. Ageha quickly helps her up.

"I'm so sorry!" she apologizes. "Maybe I was too quick on that one."

"N-no, it's okay," Matsuri says. "I can try again."

Yoshimitsu nods as the two tanned girls do it once again. They start off slow by gliding on the ice for a minute or two. Then, Ageha once again raises Matsuri's arm for her to twirl. The Native American does so and successfully spins 360 degrees with her two low pony-tails swaying.

Yoshimitsu keeps watch as the two practice their dancing. So far, everything is going smoothly for as Ageha and Matsuri are quick learners. They practice their skating first and then their dancing comes next. Pretty soon, after about a half hour they nailed it. Ageha and Matsuri are dancing beautifully, holding each other's hands and twirling each other as they go. The blonde smiles at this. For sure, they will win this competition if they keep this up.

For the next couple weeks, Ageha and Matsuri come to the ice rink every single day after school and on weekends to get themselves ready for the competition. Yoshimitsu pays for their dresses and everything while they were at it. Ageha and Matsuri practiced and practiced their skating and dancing until they are sure they perfected it. Both of them look at each other after they danced that one day.

"You ready for this?" Ageha asks.

Matsuri nods with confidence in her expression. "Yes. I'm so ready."

On the day of the competition, Ageha and Matsuri are standing near the rink, watching the figure skaters dance with their other, may it be a man or woman. It's a long line of competitors since this is one of the best figure skating competitions out there. Ageha is dressed in a pink short dress while Matsuri is dressed in a light purple one. Both of them hold hands as they watch the two competitors, which are two girls, one with medium length ginger hair and the other with long ash brown hair, dance with the big spotlight on them. Matsuri gently squeezes Ageha's hand tightly as she watches the two dance beautifully while the music is playing.

"They are so…beautiful together…" Matsuri mutters.

Ageha nods in agreement. "It's like they are connected or something."

The two girls who are figure skating do one last twirl and then the ginger dips the ash brunette as soon as the song ends. The crowd applauds for their awesome performances and they get off the ice while the judges are writing things down. The next two competitors are another pair of two girls that are both blonde. One with odango style hair and the other with long, straight blonde hair with a big red bow on it.

As the music starts, the two blondes take each other's hands and start dancing. Their beautiful hair flows at every movement as they twirl, and dance while spinning makes the crowd stare in awe. Matsuri can see that. How in the world is it possible to beat those two beautiful maidens dancing their heart out with everyone's eyes on those two like glue? It's like they are made to be in this competition.

"Those girls are amazing," Matsuri says, softly. She looks down at the floor, hugging herself. "And…everyone seems to have a lot of attention towards them. I'm not…even sure if we're able to beat them."

Ageha can tell that the Native American is starting to lose her confidence. She can definitely understand what she's saying just from looking at those two blonde girls dancing the night away. She gently turns Matsuri to face her, put on her gentle, beautiful smile and kiss her on the forehead.

"Hey, hey, it's okay," she says softly. "We can prove them wrong, si? I mean, we're as beautiful as them. But we can definitely prove that we can dance better than them. I'm sure of it."

Matsuri looks up at the Spaniard and nods. "Alright. Let's do this, Ageha-onee-sama!"

As soon as the music ends, the two blondes take a bow and leave the rink while the juges jot things down. Ageha and Matsuri are the last two contestants. Taking a few deep breaths, they enter the rink, holding hands. Once they are at the center and the spot light points at them, the music plays.

The two take each other's hands and slowly start skating while spinning in a circle. Just looking at Ageha's beautiful face makes Matsuri even more motivated. Ageha lets go, letting Matsuri twirl with both arms up while Ageha jumps and twirls with one leg out. The crowd stares in awe at the beauty of not only the Spaniard, but also the Native American, who has her hair down for once for this occasion.

They rejoin and waltz along with the music, sway this and that with their hair flowing at each movement. Both of the tanned girls are focused on themselves and no one else, like they are lost in their own world. And they don't care. They keep on dancing like they have never danced before, including one move where Ageha lifts Matsuri a little, spin around 180 degrees and releasing her, having to land perfectly on her feet and twirl around in the process.

As soon as the music stops, both tanned girls twirl one more time to face the audience and take a bow. They do a thunderous applause for their great effort.

The competitors stand in line with the judges in front of them. Matsuri takes a few deep breaths. This is finally it. The moment they've all been waiting for. One female judge holds up the mic.

"Wow!" she says. "We've got some excellent figure skaters out here today, especially the last two pairs. I have to admit I was very impressed by both of their performances and skill. But as always, we need only one winner for this competition. It was a very close call for the last two competitors."

Ageha and Matsuri squeeze each other's hand as they brace for this. The judge pulls out the envelope and opens it.

"The winners for today's competition is…."

Everyone in the audience lean forward and so does the female competitors.

"Ageha and Matsuri of Maisen University Girl's High School!"

The crowd cheers loudly, raising their arms in the air and whistling. Yoshimitsu and the rest of her team cheer too since they came to the competition too. Ageha and Matsuri look at each other and embrace one another, feeling very happy for their hard work. It is then that Ageha beckons the Native American to go and receive the trophy. Matsuri does so and takes the golden trophy. She then heads back to rejoin Ageha while everyone else applauds.

By the time everyone leaves, Ageha and Matsuri walk out of the rink while Yoshimitsu tackle hugs the Spaniard happily.

"YOU WON! YOU WON!" She speaks in English. "I'm so happy!"

"Easy, easy, Yoshi…" the Spaniard says.

Meimei and Tsubame give their praises to Matsuri. The Native American blushes and thanks them. However, Ageha comes over, puts her arm around her small kouhai.

"Can we have a moment alone please?" she asks.

"Sure, sure no problem~!" Yoshimitsu says and gently pushes Meimei and Tsubame. "Go, go! Get a move on!"

Once everyone has left, it's Ageha and Matsuri alone. Ageha turns to face her kouhai, looking at her directly in the eye, leaving Matsuri immobilized.

"I had a great time with you, Matsuri-chan," Ageha whispers. "Thank you."

"No…thank you…Ageha-onee-sama," Matsuri says. "You're the one who…gave me courage…and we won this competition."

Matsuri nods. "I'm very…grateful for that. I'm glad we won."

"Same here, Matsuri-chan. Same here."

With that, Ageha leans in to kiss her kouhai on the forehead and takes her hand.

"Now then, mi hermanita, shall we go?"

"Huh?"

"We're like sisters, right? So, why not treat you like one? At least that's what Yoshi said."

Matsuri blushes at this. "I…I don't know, it's embarrassing..."

"Not as long as we're together~" Ageha says with a wink. "Is that alright?"

The Native American looks down at the floor for a moment when Ageha cups both hands to her cheeks and kisses her directly on the lips, making the small kouhai surprised for a bit. Ageha pulls away with a giggle.

"How about now?"

Matsuri doesn't hesitate as she is eager for another kiss, so she cups her hands on Ageha's cheeks this time and crashes her lips against hers before pulling away. "Sure, Ageha-onee-sama."

"Muy bien~" Ageha says. "Vamos, Matsuri-chan~"

The two hold hands with a smile as they walk out of the ice arena. For Matsuri, this has been the best day she's had with her senior, Ageha.

~The End~

Yuri-chan: Well everyone, as promised, here's another pair of Tanned Beauties~ Ageha and Matsuri~

Also, if you're wondering, Ageha is not really Matsuri's sister. They are just…I dunno. They're just really close sempai and kouhai Senrans, closer than any siblings could ever be. That's all.

So, as always, long and detailed reviews and I wrote this story solo. Now, tune in next time for all FOUR tanned beauties put together in the next one. Have a nice day~
