Forbidden Love
Eps. XVI
After they ferried from the Fuuka to mainland, the pair catch a train all the way down to Kobe to visit Mai's parents. As much as Mikoto didn't wanted to come with the teen, Shizuru had to threaten the feral girl about permanently putting her in a frozen state did she reluctantly agreed to go with the teen. As Nao worked hard at the restaurant while Shiho rest up from the crazy event, Yukino did a follow up on the incident as Natsuki shipped the head out express to the High Council as Mikoto asked of her.
Wearing a strawberry bandana, Mikoto heaved another sigh as she stared out at the sceneries that rushed by outside the window of the moving train. Even though it's a bullet train, it would take them about a whole day traveling from Fuuka to Kobe. With her left hand holding onto Mai's hand as their fingers interlaced, the teen was grinning from ear to ear just having her beloved held her hand. Mai leaned over, resting her head on Mikoto shoulder grinning still feeling butterflies in her stomach wishing the train would just kept on going forever.
"S-sensei, let's play a game since you look bored." Mai suggested even though she didn't have to look up at Mikoto. "Go on," Mikoto perked up her ears and listened to what the teen will suggested. "Truth or Dare," Mai said happily since there's something she wanted to know and this might be a good chance for her to find out more about the woman she loved. "Okay, you get the first question then." Mikoto mused resting her chin on her right hand that is resting on the train's windowsill. "Truth or Dare?" Mai started. "Truth," Mikoto replied without thinking. "Why did your father had to kill your mother?" Mai asked carefully knowing it's a very touchy subject to the feral girl. "Because he didn't want his wife to know that he's cheating on her with a half-demon," Mikoto murmured absentmindedly. "Okay, my turn… Truth or Dare?" Mikoto asked without looking over at Mai. "Dare," Mai fidgeted and suddenly regretted her choice when she felt Mikoto chuckled. "I dare you to call Natsuki to Shizuru that you love her," Mikoto said holding her mirth as she felt the teen stiffen.
"…" Mai seriously doesn't think that's such a good idea as she witnessed how jealous (possessive) her gym teacher could be over Shizuru. In fact, there's a band-aid on Mikoto's right cheek to reminded her of that, just two days ago that Mikoto came over with Mai and kissed Shizuru on the lips and Natsuki went nuts. Mai had to say that it was like a near death experience with an overly jealous Kuga Natsuki, and Mai in a moment of panicked nearly fried Natsuki with her fireball if Mikoto wasn't there to absorbed the thing with her hands.
"Looks like you owe me one then," Mikoto said finally looking over at Mai who wore a twisted expression on her face making her looked quite adorable. "Fine, truth or dare?" Mai asked pouting a little. "Truth," Mikoto smirked. "Do you really plan on taking on the entire High Council by yourself?" Mai lowered her voice. "Mm!" Mikoto nodded confirming her answer. "Truth or Dare?" Mikoto asked. "Um… truth," Mai said steering away from the daring as her teacher seemed to enjoy putting her in hot water. "Will you stand against me when that day come?" Mikoto asked tighten her hold on Mai's hand just a tiny bit. "I will stand by your side to the bitter end," Mai replied honestly, knowing full well that she might be facing against her parents and even younger brother who had already granted the title of a Magnus. "Mm, and you still owe me one." Mikoto teased causing the teen to blush nicely. "And I'm going to take it soon whether you like it or not," Mikoto leaned over and whispered into Mai's ears sending a tingling sensation throughout her entire body. They stopped their game after a few questions and decided just to took a nap instead, and Mai really doesn't want to dig herself a grave since Mikoto could make it really hard on her no matter which choice she picked.
By nightfall, they arrived at Kobe and the two went ahead and find a hotel and ordered room service. By now, Mai had really used to sharing a bed with the feral girl that when Mikoto said two rooms, Mai quickly jumped in and said one and so they settled with one room. Mikoto didn't ate much, though she enjoyed watching Mai ate all the foods. They watched TV for a bit and finally turned in, laying on their sides Mai with her back against Mikoto while resting her head on Mikoto's arm like it's a pillow. Mikoto placed her free arm on Mai's waist and gently pulled the teen ever closer to her, then she just playfully traced her fingers from the teen's hair down to her thigh causing her to shivered.
"S-sensei…" Mai heaved her breath feeling her body getting warmer by the seconds (no thanks to Mikoto's hand). Mikoto remained silence as she continued on with her teasing, and Mai squirmed for a bit before rolling herself over to face her teacher. "S-sensei, please stop…" Mai pleaded as she grabbed Mikoto's hand to stop the unbearable teasing. "You love me don't you?" Mikoto asked suddenly as she gently stroked Mai's hair instead. "Y-yes…" the teen blushed bright red. "Then address me correctly or you won't be sleeping at all tonight," the feral girl said sternly, as her hot breath heated Mai's face up even more. "Mi-Mikoto…" Mai stuttered as she couldn't help but grabbed onto Mikoto's shirt and tried to hid her face. "Good, now I'm taking what you owe me on the train. Mai-hime…" Mikoto whispered sitting up suddenly smiling down at the startled teen.
Grinning, Mikoto pulled the teen up and started dancing, Mai was a bit shocked at first but caught on and moved in sync with Mikoto's steps so that she wouldn't be stepping on the feral girl's feet. It might be a fleeting moment, but it's a precious memory to Mikoto as the day of extracting her vengeance drawn near since she had found the relic or rather it had came to her on its own. Wrapping her arms around Mai's waist as the teen had her hands encircled her beloved's neck, the two leaned in and let their forehead touched as they continued on dancing to no music whatsoever.
"Say my name again," Mikoto whispered pulling Mai closer. "M-Mikoto…" Mai stuttered still feeling a bit embarrassed to be calling her teacher on the first name bases. "I love how it come out of that beautiful mouth of yours making it sound so sweet," Mikoto sighed contently. "Mikoto, Mikoto, Mikoto… I'll say it as many times as you want me to, because I love you Mikoto…" Mai said blushing from head to toes this time around as she stared at their moving feet instead. "I never get tire of hearing you say my name," Mikoto said kissing Mai's cheek lightly startling the girl again causing her to looked up at her beloved. "I would love it even more when you scream my name," Mikoto murmured before capturing those luscious lips in front of her just begging to be kissed and kissed it she did.
