A/N: Meh! My muse is STILL in lust with muse Natsuki, so she has been inspiring me to write. However, everything I have been inspired to write is 'nose bleed' material. I am HOPING all this lust turns to love soon, so I can stop supporting the tissue companies.
I and muse Shizuru wanted to wish all my readers a safe New Year's Eve, so we worked hard to get this chapter to you all for the holiday. Happy New Year!
One Step Forward, Two Steps Back
After their brief scene wrapped, Yaya draped her arm around Tsubomi's shoulder and they headed for the parking lot. Yaya nuzzled and kissed Tsubomi's neck as she walked, so it was slow going. As they approached Yaya's car, they heard a familiar voice call out to them.
"Yaya-chan! Okuwaka-san!" Hikari yelled as she tried to get their attention from where she stood outside her car.
"Hikari-chan!" Yaya looked around, located Hikari and yelled back while she waved from in front of her car.
"I don't want to see her," Tsubomi growled.
"Okay," Yaya assured Tsubomi under her breath, waved good-bye to Hikari, quickly unlocked both car doors and they got in the car.
Yaya made a quick exit out of the parking lot.
"How was that?" Yaya asked Tsubomi.
"Perfect. Absolutely perfect," Tsubomi smiled, leaned over and kissed Yaya appreciatively on the cheek, before the movement of the car forced her back in her seat.
"Now, as I remember, you promised we could play all day," Yaya's voice oozed with lust.
"That I did. Home…and step on it," Tsubomi purred as she reached over and slid her hand along Yaya's bare thigh, which caused Yaya to press down on the car's accelerator.
Amane unlocked the front door to Hikari's house and entered.
"Hikari-chan, I'm back," Amane called out.
"I'm in my office," Hikari called back.
Amane put her belongings away and walked into Hikari's home office. Hikari was seated at her desk signing papers.
"Hikari-chan, what are you signing?" Amane asked as she walked over and stood behind the blonde's desk chair.
"It's the preliminary contract for my next project. It starts shooting in Africa next year," Hikari said as she finished signing the last page.
"New project? Africa?" Amane sputtered and staggered a bit.
"Amane?" Hikari asked concerned and stood up.
"I'm fine. I'm fine," Amane managed.
"I was going to talk to you about this later, since the project doesn't start for awhile. I was thinking…if you didn't sign for another project after this…you would accompany me," Hikari said as she sat back down, still staring at Amane's stunned expression.
"Oh," Amane said as Hikari's words began to register.
"Amane?" Hikari asked.
Amane came to her senses and stood behind Hikari's desk chair. Hikari leaned back and looked up at Amane. The older woman leaned down and lightly kissed Hikari on the lips. Hikari raised both arms up to Amane and locked her hands behind Amane's neck. Amane deepened the kiss and opened her mouth, her tongue begged for entrance. Hikari opened her mouth. Amane's memory flashed to the kiss Amane shared with Nagisa. Amane swallowed hard and tried to push the thought out of her head. Amane ran both hands down the sides of Hikari's torso, as far as she could reach, and back up to Hikari's breasts. As soon as she cupped both breasts in her hands, Hikari grabbed both of Amane's hands and removed them from her breasts, without breaking the kiss. Amane broke the kiss.
"What's wrong Hikari-chan?" Amane asked concerned.
"They're still sore from the other night," Hikari said shyly.
"Gomen Hikari-chan. I'll try to be gentler next time," Amane said.
Hikari smiled weakly and wondered if she should tell Amane about the other sore spots Amane left in her wake. Amane came around Hikari's desk chair and stood beside it. She extended her hand to Hikari. The younger woman took her girlfriend's hand and Amane began to lead her to the bedroom. Hikari's previous question was answered in a heartbeat and she stopped in the home office doorway.
"Amane, it's still daylight," Hikari teased, trying to make it sound like she didn't do such things during the day.
"So? We've done it during the day before," Amane said.
"I was still embarrassed," Hikari said.
"We'll draw the drapes," Amane said happily and resumed pulling Hikari towards the bedroom.
"A-ma-ne," Hikari scolded and extricated her arm out of Amane's grasp.
"Gomen," Amane said dejectedly and looked down at her feet.
It broke Hikari's heart to see Amane like this. She bent down and turned her head up to look into Amane's face. Hikari smiled, leaned up, and firmly kissed Amane on the lips. The younger, shorter woman stood and brought Amane up with her. After Hikari broke the kiss, she took Amane by the hand and led her into the bedroom.
Once inside the bedroom, Amane drew the drapes as she promised and then took Hikari in her arms. She passionately kissed Hikari, taking the younger woman's breath away. Hikari, lost in lust, temporarily forgot about her sore spots as her hands expertly stripped Amane. Amane still needed to hone her skills, so Hikari stripped off what Amane hadn't yet. Both naked women stood kissing deeply, filling the bedroom with moans of pleasure. Amane scooped Hikari up in her arms, gently laid her down on the bed, and lowered herself on top of Hikari.
"A-ma-ne…," Hikari moaned as Amane lightly sucked on her neck.
"Hi-ka-ri…," Amane growled as her hands gently roamed over Hikari's body.
Hikari sharply drew in a breath as her memory flashed to Yaya doing the exact same thing, back in Hikari's room at the resort. Amane caught this and lifted her head to look at Hikari.
"Daijobu?" Amane asked.
"Hai," Hikari assured Amane and gently pushed on the back of her girlfriend's head, encouraging her to resume what she was doing on Hikari's neck.
Amane began descending Hikari's body, leaving a trail of soft kisses. As she approached Hikari's breasts, she paused and wisely decided to leave them alone, when she felt Hikari's body tense up. Amane settled down between Hikari's thighs. The older woman slipped both hands under Hikari's small tight ass. Amane liked the way each cheek fit perfectly in each hand. Hikari moaned as Amane gently massaged each cheek. Amane lifted Hikari and lightly kissed her fine blonde hair. Hikari looked down at Amane and sharply drew in her breath when she saw Yaya looking back at her. Hikari blinked her eyes and shook her head to clear it. When she opened her eyes again, she saw Amane looking up at her with concern in her eyes. Hikari smiled and thrust her hips up towards Amane. The older woman got the hint and returned to pleasuring Hikari.
The morning sun shone through the couple's bedroom window, warming an angelic sleeping face. Momomi stretched and looked at her still sleeping lover next to her, the sun shining brightly on Kaname's face.
'My angel,' Momomi thought and smiled.
"Stupid sun," Kaname grumbled and pulled the covers over her head.
An hour later, Kaname padded into their kitchen with nothing on, except her women's boxer briefs. She sat at their kitchen table, put her head down, and commenced napping. Momomi glanced at Kaname from in front of the stove and rolled her eyes.
"Kaname, where is your robe?" Momomi asked.
"In the bedroom," Kaname mumbled.
"I bought that robe for you to wear, not your exercise bike," Momomi said exasperated.
"Uh-huh," Kaname mumbled.
"Put it on…NOW!" Momomi yelled.
Kaname immediately sat bolt up, stood up, walked into the bedroom, and returned wearing her robe. By now, she was wide awake and grumpy. She plopped down at the kitchen table and pouted. Momomi just ignored her grumpy girlfriend and finished cooking breakfast. She plated the food and brought both plates to the kitchen table, setting one in front of Kaname.
"Here grumpy, eat. You'll feel better," Momomi teased.
Kaname glared at Momomi, grabbed her fork, and dug into her breakfast. After a few mouthfuls of Momomi's awesome cooking, a smile broke out on Kaname's face. After all their years together, it never ceased to amaze Kaname how well Momomi knew her.
In Hikari's bedroom, she was desperately trying to stop Amane from packing for the day.
"Amane, you can't wear that outside the bedroom," Hikari implored.
"Why not? The website stated this one is meant for wearing out in public," Amane stated matter-of-factly.
"What if someone sees it?" Hikari asked desperately.
"Who's going to see it?" Amane smiled and shifted her new toy around until she found the perfect fit.
Hikari sighed deeply and went into the bathroom for a couple of aspirin. Amane finished dressing.
On the set, Yaya sat in her set chair with Tsubomi leaning back between her legs. Yaya was playfully kissing the top of Tsubomi's head. Hikari approached the two women and plopped into her set chair, exhaling loudly.
"Hikari-chan, what's wrong with you?" Yaya asked as she placed her hand over Tsubomi's mouth.
"Amane can be SO frustrating sometimes," Hikari growled.
"What did she do this time?" Yaya sighed deeply; removing her hand from Tsubomi's mouth after the younger woman licked her palm.
Yaya wiped her palm off on a giggling Tsubomi's shirt.
"She refused to listen to me this morning," Hikari huffed.
"About what?" Yaya asked, not paying much attention.
"Packing," Hikari stated.
"She left?" Yaya asked.
"Not a suitcase. Pack-ing," Hikari said, stressing the word to get her point across to Yaya.
Yaya's eyes widened as it FINALLY dawned on her. Tsubomi followed suit soon after.
"AMANE?" Yaya and Tsubomi exclaimed in unison.
"Nani?" Amane asked as she approached the three women.
Yaya and Tsubomi could barely stifle their laughter as both women tried not to stare at Amane's crotch. Amane leaned in and kissed Hikari on the cheek. Amane knitted her brow as she looked at Yaya and Tsubomi, who were sniggling violently. Sakoi Masayuki and Ayako arrived on the set, saving Yaya and Tsubomi from having to explain their behavior to Amane. Hikari and Yaya took their places without being asked. Amane and Tsubomi sat in their girlfriend's set chairs as usual.
The brief scene wrapped in one take. As soon as the scene wrapped, Yaya and Tsubomi quickly dashed off towards the dressing rooms, leaving a puzzled Amane behind. Once they were out of earshot, Yaya and Tsubomi broke down, laughing hysterically.
Kaname and Momomi passed the two laughing hyenas on the way from the dressing rooms to the set.
"I wonder what's wrong with those two?" Momomi asked.
"Too numerous to mention," Kaname smirked.
Sakoi Masayuki rolled his eyes as soon as he spotted Kaname and Momomi walking on to the set.
'It was peaceful while it lasted,' he thought and sighed deeply.
Surprisingly, the scene wrapped smoothly and without any improvisations from either actor. The flashback clip of Shion was already in Editing.
As a favor, Sakoi Masayuki allowed Nagisa and Tamao to shoot their extremely brief scene yesterday, so the both of them could have a day off today.
Hikari and Amane sat in their set chairs reading through their scripts as Kaname walked up to the two women.
"Hey, lovebirds," Kaname teased.
Hikari and Amane both looked up from their scripts, briefly acknowledged Kaname, rolled their eyes, and returned to their scripts. Kaname fumed and plopped down in her set chair. Amane shifted in her chair. Hikari glanced up from her script and rolled her eyes.
The scene on the staircase wrapped in one take.
Yaya and Tsubomi sat on Yaya's bed in the dorm room set intimately chatting. Hikari and Amane walked on to the set and sat on Hikari's bed. When Yaya and Tsubomi looked at Amane, their violent sniggling began again. Amane attempted to ignore the two women, but they finally wore down Amane's patience.
"NANI?" Amane yelled from the bed.
This startled Yaya and Tsubomi into silence. They just stared blinking silently at Amane. Neither woman was about to voice why they were laughing.
"Stop staring and tell me what is SO funny!" Amane stood and demanded.
Yaya opened her mouth to speak, but before she could say anything, Sakoi Masayuki and Ayako arrived on the set. Ayako called for the cast to take their places. Amane watched Hikari from off set in Hikari's set chair. Tsubomi opted to return to her dressing room to avoid a possible confrontation with Amane off set and most importantly, she did NOT want to watch Yaya physically interact with Hikari. This particular wound was still a bit raw.
While they shot their scene, Hikari wondered if what she and Yaya did back at the resort bothered Yaya. Hikari was visibly uncomfortable and was thankful her character was supposed to be acting this way. Yaya, on the other hand, did not appear uncomfortable in the least bit with Hikari. The scene wrapped smoothly. Yaya quickly headed to the dressing rooms to find Tsubomi.
Kaname and Momomi sat on their bed in the dorm room set snuggled together, waiting for Sakoi Masayuki. Momomi absently ran her fingernails up and down the top of Kaname's bare thigh while they chatted. As Momomi got close to the top of Kaname's thigh, Kaname moaned deep in her throat. This resulted in an evil grin to grace Momomi's lips. She widened her pattern to encompass the inside of Kaname's thigh, which of course, led to deeper and louder moans from Kaname. After the last moan, Momomi could no longer contain herself. She turned and pounced on Kaname. Sakoi Masayuki and Ayako found the two actors fully engaged when they arrived on the set.
"Kobe-san, how do you think we should handle this? Wait until Kenjou-san and Kiyashiki-san finish or the fire extinguisher and its inevitable payback?" Sakoi Masayuki asked Ayako.
"We're ahead of schedule, so I say let them finish. That color red really isn't your color," Ayako laughed.
After Kaname and Momomi finished their business, Sakoi Masayuki and Ayako returned and the scene wrapped in one take.
Yaya sat on her bed in the dorm room set staring into space. Hikari and Amane walked on to the set and sat on Hikari's bed.
"Yaya-chan?" Hikari asked.
Yaya continued to stare in to space.
"Yaya-chan?" Hikari asked a bit louder.
"Hai?" Yaya said still staring in to space.
"What are you thinking about?" Hikari asked.
"Packing," Yaya answered.
Sakoi Masayuki and Ayako arrived on the set. They both looked strangely at the staring Yaya.
"What is wrong with Nanto-san?" Sakoi Masayuki asked Ayako.
Ayako shrugged and said flatly, "Maybe she's been 'Shizuma'd.'"
Sakoi Masayuki gave Ayako a strange puzzled look. Ayako ignored it and called for the cast to take their places. Yaya came out of her trance while the scene was shooting, but it didn't interrupt shooting and the scene wrapped smoothly.
Sakoi Masayuki decided to shoot all of Yaya's solo scenes at one time and let Editing put it all together. Yaya's solo scenes wrapped smoothly. When she was done, Yaya quickly returned to the dressing rooms.
The brief scene with Amane, Kaname, and Momomi wrapped in one take.
Hikari sat in her set chair fuming. She was angry she had yet another scene with Kaname molesting her, making this the second time. This time, Kaname would be rambling on about some nonsense regarding Japan's feudal period. Hikari was getting angrier by the second.
In Kaname's dressing room, she was ranting to Momomi about the idiotic rambling speech she has to deliver before molesting Hikari for the second time.
"I'm fed up with these molestation scenes! After the first one, Konohana-san practically bit my head off. I know she is probably really pissed off right now. And what the hell is up with this idiotic rambling speech about Japan's feudal period?" Kaname paced and fumed.
"Kaname, if you don't like the rambling speech, change it," Momomi suggested as she watched Kaname pace.
"Momomi! That's brilliant! Maybe I can make Konohana-san laugh as well," Kaname said happily and set about rewriting her script.
By the time Sakoi Masayuki and Ayako arrived on the set, Hikari was visibly angry, Kaname and Momomi were giggling, and a weird feeling hung over the set. Ayako called for the cast to take their places.
Kaname pulled and Momomi pushed Hikari into the dorm room.
"CUT!" Sakoi Masayuki yelled to cast and crew as the first part of the scene wrapped smoothly.
Ayako called for the cast to take their places.
"ACTION!" Sakoi Masayuki yelled to cast and crew.
Kaname pushed Hikari up against the dorm room door and put her hand over Hikari's mouth.
"Konohana-san, I know you're probably mad as hell right now. I'm sorry. I didn't write this shit, but I think I may have found a way to make this more enjoyable for us both. Just follow my lead, okay?" Kaname softly whispered in Hikari's ear.
Hikari nodded.
The scene rolled smoothly until Kaname's rambling speech. When she began her revised speech about the greenhouse effect, Hikari's eyes widened. Sakoi Masayuki shot Ayako a puzzled look. She shrugged her shoulders. He decided to let the scene run for now. As Kaname got further into her speech, she began to exaggerate her facial expressions and her voice took on a melodramatic quality, which caused Hikari to begin sniggling and she improvised her lines as well. Neither actor wanted to reshoot this idiotic scene, so they made sure to skate the fine line between letting the scene roll anyways and the dreaded re-take. Kaname placed her ice cold hand inside the opening of Hikari's dress and when it made contact with Hikari's back, the blonde let out a blood curdling scream.
"CUT!" Sakoi Masayuki yelled to cast and crew.
Hikari smacked Kaname on the arm.
"You could have at least warmed up your hand," Hikari teased.
"Gomen," I didn't realize it was that cold," Kaname apologized.
"Thank you for what you did," Hikari said and kissed Kaname on the cheek.
"Anytime," Kaname said as her cheeks blushed.
Ayako called for the cast to take their places. The scene resumed shooting from where they left off. Once again, Kaname improvised her lines. She pushed Hikari back on to the bed and leapt on top of the blonde. As Kaname pinned Hikari to the bed, the blonde decided to do some improvising of her own. As she struggled under Kaname, she moved her thigh between Kaname legs and rubbed. Kaname's eyes widened and her cheeks blushed. She barely managed to maintain an even tone in her voice as her sexual arousal increased each time Hikari expertly moved her thigh. Kaname breathed a sigh of relief when Yaya burst open the door. The remainder of the scene wrapped smoothly and followed the script.
"CUT!" Sakoi Masayuki yelled to cast and crew.
Amane and Momomi sat in their set chairs on the location for their scene and waited for Sakoi Masayuki.
"This is ridiculous! I don't understand why we can't wait in our dressing rooms where it's a lot cooler," Momomi complained.
"This is where Sakoi-sama asked us to wait, so we wait," Amane answered flatly.
"Doesn't anything ever get to you?" Momomi demanded as she stood directly in front of Amane with her stomach pressed against Amane's knees.
Amane looked into Momomi's eyes. She saw fire and passion erupting behind them. Momomi was so close; Amane could smell the young woman's perfume. It caused Amane's pulse to race. Amane involuntarily parted her knees and Momomi fell into Amane's lap, her face landing against Amane's flat, hard stomach. Momomi pushed herself up and stared down at the bulge between Amane's legs. She felt compelled to touch it. When her hand made contact with it, Amane let out a soft moan. An evil grin danced across Momomi's face. She pressed against the bulge harder and Amane moaned again.
"Ootori-san, I do believe you're packing," Momomi purred in Amane's ear and unzipped Amane's fly.
Amane looked Momomi in the eyes. Momomi took Amane's hand and led her to a more secluded spot off the main trail. Momomi pressed Amane's back against a tree and reached inside her pants. Momomi took out the prize inside and smiled.
Momomi pressed up against Amane and growled in her ear, "I sure hope you know how to use it."
Sakoi Masayuki and Ayako arrived on the set. They found Amane and Momomi seated in their set chairs reading their scripts.
The scene wrapped smoothly. Momomi blew a kiss to Amane and left for the dressing rooms. As Momomi passed Hikari on the path, she shot the blonde aknowing grin. Hikari dismissed it and continued on the path to join Amane for the next scenes. Amane and Hikari accompanied Sakoi Masayuki, Ayako, and the crew to the train station.
After all the scenes at the train station, in the train and at the beach wrapped, Hikari and Amane retreated to Hikari's dressing room for some much needed rest. Amane stretched out on the couch with Hikari comfortably wrapped in her arms.
"Amane, you seemed distracted during shooting. Is something wrong?" Hikari asked as she nuzzled under Amane's chin.
"Hai," Amane answered.
"Are you having a problem with us?" Hikari asked.
"Me," Amane answered.
"You?" Hikari asked.
"I'm frustrated with my inability to satisfy you sexually, because I'm too rough," Amane blurted out.
"AMANE! Stop that!" Hikari yelled, propped herself up, and looked Amane in the eyes.
"But it's true Hikari-chan. You said so yourself," Amane said startled.
"Amane, yes, I said you were too rough, but I did NOT say you didn't satisfy me," Hikari said sternly.
"I do?" Amane smiled weakly.
"You do," Hikari smiled, lay back down, and added, "You're just too enthusiastic right now."
They cuddled and napped until a knock on Hikari's dressing room door woke them.
"Konohana-san, please report to the set," Ayako said through the door.
Kaname and Momomi shot their bathtub scene on a closed set. Momomi prayed Kaname would not notice the small bruises on her ass. Momomi smiled to herself as she remembered how Amane turned out to be an enthusiastic lover.
'With more experience, she'll be incredible,' Momomi thought.
The brief scene wrapped smoothly and Sakoi Masayuki was thrilled he didn't have to use the fire extinguisher on his actors.
Yaya pleaded with Tsubomi to wait in her dressing room while the next scene shot, but Tsubomi stubbornly decided to watch Yaya shoot the scene. For all her bravado, Tsubomi's stomach was doing somersaults while she waited with Yaya for Sakoi Masayuki. Hikari arrived on the set with Amane, so Tsubomi wisely kept her mouth shut. Sakoi Masayuki and Ayako arrived. Ayako called for the cast to take their places. As usual, Amane and Tsubomi sat in their girlfriend's set chairs, watching from off set.
"ACTION!" Sakoi Masayuki yelled to cast and crew.
Yaya and Hikari delivered their lines perfectly. Hikari pulled her handkerchief out of her purse, opened up the handkerchief, and showed Yaya the shell she brought back for her. Yaya moved closer to Hikari, firmly grasped Hikari by her shoulders, moved in and kissed Hikari. As she kissed Hikari, Yaya opened her eyes.
'This is harder than I thought it would be,' Yaya's thoughts raced through her head.
"CUT!" Sakoi Masayuki yelled. "Nanto-san, is there a problem?"
"Gomenasai Sakoi-sama," Yaya said quickly as she bowed deeply.
"We lost you in that last scene," Sakoi Masayuki stated. "Do you need a break?"
"Hai Sakoi-sama," Yaya said gratefully.
"TEN MINUTES! AND I MEAN TEN MINUTES," Sakoi Masayuki yelled to cast and crew.
"What happened?" Tsubomi asked Yaya as she wrapped her arm around Yaya's shoulders and helped her girlfriend to her dressing room.
Once inside her dressing room, Yaya's fragile façade finally broke and tears began to fall down her cheeks. Tsubomi held Yaya close on the couch and whispered comforting words to her, as she ran her fingers through Yaya's hair. The strained silence hung in the dressing room, until Tsubomi finally spoke.
"Yaya-chan, what happened back there?" Tsubomi asked soothingly.
"Tsubomi-chan, I…I…," Yaya broke off.
"You're beginning to worry me. What's going on?" Tsubomi's voice was tense with worry.
"Do…do you love me Tsubomi-chan?" Yaya asked finally.
"Of course! What a silly question," Tsubomi teased. "I fell in love with you the first time I saw you."
"Doesn't it bother you when I…I kiss another woman?" Yaya asked sheepishly.
Tsubomi remained silent while she gave her answer a lot of thought.
"Yes and no," she said honestly. "Yes, it bothers me to see you kissing another woman, but no, because I know it's your job. If I thought you really did love Konohana-san, it would…" Tsubomi trailed off.
Yaya held her lover's face in her hands and lovingly gazed into Tsubomi's eyes
'She's wise beyond her seventeen years,' Yaya thought.
Tsubomi smiled at Yaya, leaned over and kissed Yaya gently on the lips. Yaya deepened their kiss. A knock on Yaya's dressing room door startled them both and they broke their kiss.
"Nanto-san, Okuwaka-san, please return to the set!" Ayako said through the door.
Upon their return to the set, Hikari shot Yaya a concerned look. Yaya smiled weakly.
"Let's try this AGAIN!" Sakoi Masayuki yelled to cast and crew.
Yaya moved closer to Hikari, firmly held Hikari by her shoulders, moved in and kissed Hikari. As she kissed Hikari, Yaya opened her eyes.
"Better now?" Hikari whispered in Yaya's ear.
"Hai…much," Yaya whispered back and finished the scene.
