Dead Or Alive: Crossroads
Episode 2: Babes, Babes And More Babes
Dammit...I couldn't do it. Helena was just TO gorgeous that I lost my nerve and walked away. I returned to Zack's office, hanging my head with such shame. What was wrong with me? If Misaki saw me, she'd look at me, with such shame. More than I already was. I had to fix this. Time to be a man and do what I had to do. Returning to the islands, I could see Helena again. She was sitting in a chair, underneath an umbrella, trying to stay lout of the sun. This was my chance. I began walking over to Helena and I started hearing her talk to herself.
Helena: It's so hot...That fact doesn't change, no matter how many times I come here. What is Zack planning now? Well...I guess it's none of my concern. I suppose even I deserve a break every once in a while.
Just as I approached her, she managed to catch me, out of the corner of her eye. I was stunned and didn't know what to say...
Helena: Oh...can I help you?
Uhm...yes. I...I'm the new owner of this island.
Helena: New owner?
Y-yes. You see, Zack had other business to take care of. So he left me in charge.
Helena: I see. Zack was always one to abandon his duties.
Yes. Misaki has told me that.
Helena: Who?
She is another visitor on the island. At least...I think she is.
Helena: Is that so? Well, it is nice to meet you. I am...
Helena Douglas. I know. You're one of the visitors, on the list.
Helena: You misunderstand. I am not a visitor.
Huh? Wait...but it says here that...
Helena: It says I am a visitor. But Zack clearly invited me. Along with others.
Is she serious? Did Zack really forget to mention that to me? Ugh, you've gotta be kidding me. He failed to mention THAT to me too.
Helena: It seems Zack fails to mention that to you?
That's right.
Helena: As always, no surprise. Are you aware of your duties?
Yes. Misaki explained it to me.
Helena: That is good. Well, if I ever need anything, I will be sure to come and see you.
Y-yes. Please do...
With a smile on my face, I was just about to walk off, feeling good about myself. However, Helena called to me, just before I left.
Helena: Actually, there is something I would like you to do.
Yes? What is it?
Helena: Take a walk with me.
A walk?
Helena rose from her seat and was now standing up. I could not help but admire to magnificent woman that she was.
Helena: You will join me, won't you?
Y-yes. Of course.
Helena: Then let us be on our way.
Helena walked over to me, standing beside me. She wrapped her arm around mine and I could feel my heart beating twice as fast. Together, the two of us took a walk. It didn't take long for us to run into someone. Most likely another visi...I mean, another invited guest to the islands. She was of petite height, with a slender and athletic frame. She had striking red eyes and straight purple hair, which was cut to the nape of her neck, with a front fringe, and tied back with a dark-purple bandana. Her bikini was a green halterneck top with green camouflage briefs.
Helena: Well, this is a surprise. I did not expect you to be here, Ayane.
Ayane? You know her?
Helena: Yes, we are...aquaintences, isn't that right, Ayane?
Ayane didn't really say much. She just stood there, examining me up and down. Don't really know if she was checking me out or looking for a weakness of mine.
Ayane: You look as laid-back as ever, I see. What do you say we pair up?
Huh?
Helena: Yes. Excellent suggestion.
Ayane: I'm counting on you.
Uhm...Helena?
Helena: Do not worry. She does not bite. Out of her duties, that is.
Huh? Wh-what is that supposed to mean...!?
Hearing those words, I wasn't sure if I should feel panicked or relaxed. Ayane looked like the type to cause damage to someone. But it didn't matter, as Ayane started leading the way, with Helena and I following her. Back in the office, the phone was ringing. Unfortunately, I wasn't there to answer it. On the other end of the line, it was revealed to be Zack, calling the main office. But since he wasn't getting a response, he just chose to hang up.
Zack: Dammit. What the hell is taking him so long?
Zack, hurry up. We don't have much time.
Zack: Oh! R-right. Sorry 'bout that, baby.
Zack hung up the phone and placed it in his pocket. He returned to whoever it was that was calling him. The stranger was revealed to be a young dark skinned woman with a voluptuous and athletic build, who has short brown hair, brown eyes, and full lips. She was wearing a white lab coat with a blue blouse and purple miniskirt worn under the coat, a pair of garter belt stockings, black high heels, a silver necklace with matching dangle earrings, and a pair of glasses.
Zack: So, you ready to get this started?
The woman said nothing else, as she started typing away at keyboards and the entire location started to light up and make strange noises. Back on the islands, I was still with Helena and this new girl; Ayane.
Helena: I want to enjoy myself while claiming victory in Butt Battle.
Butt...Battle? What is that? Some kind of game?
Ayane: Aren't you the owner of this island?
Uhhh...yes, that's right.
Ayane: Shouldn't it explain the games on that piece of papoer of yours?
I didn't even think to try that. I held up the paper and began looking for the list of games. I found them and noticed the one called "Butt Battle."
Let's see...according to this, the two of you have to stand on this floating platform, in the pool and try to knock each off, using nothing but your butt.
Huh...I see now why it's called "Butt Battle."
Ayane: That's it?
According to the rules, yes.
Helena: Well then...shall we?
Helena led me and Ayane to the pool and already, the games and such were set up. I guess Zack must've done this...or maybe Misaki did. Who knows. Both Helena and Ayane were on the floating platform, in the middle of the pool, having their asses face each other.
Alright then. You ready? Go!
Using their strength, both Helena and Ayane tried using their ass to knock the other off the platform. Helena seemed to know what she was doing. As for Ayane...the way she was playing, made me question if she's EVER played a game, in her life. But it looked as though Helena won the first round, with her knocking Ayane into the water.
Huh...that was quick.
Rising back up, Ayane surfaced, from the pool and pulled herself back up on the platform. The game continued again, with Helena easily winning the second round...along with the third. With that, the match had gone to miss Helena Douglas, who claimed her victory. Walking over to the poolside, I helped Ayane out of the water.
Helena: How was that?
Not bad at all. Excellent work, Helena.
Ayane: ...
Are you new to this, Ayane?
Ayane: Sh-Shut up!
I'm not really sure what I did, as she began to walk away. Did I say something wrong? I looked at Helena and she simply smiled, like nothing. Throughout the entire day, we continued playing these islands games, until the sun began to set. And I can say, my first day on the job...I enjoyed myself.
Helena: Well? How did today treat you? For your first time?
I have to say, I had a good time. Thanks for this.
Helena: Of course. Now, I should get back to the hotel.
Then allow me to escort you.
Helena: Ma parole, what a gentleman.
I offered Helena my hand and she gracefully accepted. Together, we walked from the beaches to the hotel rooms. I stood in front of her door, as she walked inside.
Helena: Thank you very much.
Not at all. If anything, I should be thanking you.
Helena: Then, I trust you will do the same tomorrow?
That's right.
Helena: Then, I shall see you tomorrow.
Yes, of course.
Helena smiled at me, as she slowly closed the door. Feeling satisfied and on top of the world, I returned to my room and decided to sleep. Elsewhere, Ayane had returned to her room as well. She locked her door and closed her curtains and pulled out a bag. From that bag, Ayane was holding a phot of someone. It looked to be another girl who seemed to be around the same age as Ayane. She had a childlike and youthful appearance, with brown eyes and chestnut brown hair that reaches to her lower shoulders.
Ayane: You have to be somewhere on this island. I'll find you. Eventually.
