Whee, another chapter FINALLY.
My roleplaying is getting most of my time...
Disclaimer: Never will.
I was hoping for a dreamless sleep.
I got something close to that. It was dreamless, until I found myself
in my room in Japan. I looked around and saw that the princess sitting
across from me. "Tomoyo?" I asked slowly.
She looked up at me, her face blank as a slate, "Hello Kurogane. I
trust you have been alright,"
I nodded and said, "Yea, I'm fine, I heard from the idiot that you
taught him hiragana and asked about me,"
"Yes, I did wander dreams to find your... 'friend' I think he is,
right now. You haven't resolved anything with him have you?"
There was something weird about the way she said 'friend'. It
bothered me for some reason. But, not wanting to get into anything
with her, I shook my head, "No, he keeps avoiding answering my
questions directly." I sighed, thinking maybe, just maybe she would
have some answers; I looked directly into her eyes and asked, "Do /
you/ have answers for me?"
She stood up and walked over to the wall and pushed it open so she
could look out to the water, "Kurogane..." She started, not looking
away from the water, "You must look inside your heart, for the answer
to who the one most important to you is, for that is the only way you
can get the answers you desire, although those answer will make more
questions arise,"
I threw my hands up in the air and let them land harshly on my legs,
making a loud slapping noise. "Great! More damn riddles."
She turned back to me and giggled a bit, "Of course, do you expect it
to be easy?" She then walked over to me slowly and grabbed my hands.
Looking me straight in the eyes she asked, "Kurogane, do you have any
clothes for tomorrow? I have this kimono that would be perfect for you!"
I stared at her thinking, 'What the hell? She's trying to make me
wearing a kimono? Oh, wait... and then I looked down at my body. With
the familiar setting we were in, I forgot about my 'problem'. I had to
think of an excuse, so I didn't end up looking like a princess, "Uh,
the world we're in, it doesn't have clothes like here..."
She laughed, "Right, I forgot~!" She was starting to sound like the
mage, and it scared me, just a little. And, maybe they've alike the
whole time, and I just never realized it until now, "Well, Kurogane!
Then how about this?"
She clapped her hands and ran to my closet. When she opened it I saw,
with horror, there were dresses that match the world we were in. She
reminds me of the Tomoyo in Piffle.
"If you don't pick one, I won't let you have pleasant dreams." She
stated, narrowing her eyes slightly at me. I sighed unhappily. She was
using that tactic again. She did that to me once, and it was terrible.
Shuddering at the memory and not wanting to face her wrath, I stood up
and walked over to the closet. I looked through all the dresses and
grabbed a red one with black lace trimmings. "All right, this one," I
said, holding it out to Tomoyo, she giggled again and waved her hand,
"Put it on." She said with a huge smirk.
I sighed in defeat, knowing there wasn't any way out of it, "Fine,
but can I have some privacy?" I asked, hoping she would agree.
"We're both women here." She laughed and stood in place. Of course she
would say that. Hmph, so that was how she wanted to play it? Well,
fine, I turned around and made to take off my shirt and pants, only to
find I was wearing a kimono instead. How did I not notice before? I
turned back to Tomoyo angrily, "Tomoyo!"
She just smiled and giggled, not saying anything.
I realized it was futile to attempt to say anything else after she
giggled again, so I made to take off the kimono and put on the dress.
It was a trifle reaching around to untie my obi, until I gave up and
turned to the princess, "Can you help me untie me obi?"
"Of course," She said with a smile as she walked over,
It was slightly hard putting on that dress, damn zippers. I glared at
the princess when she laughed at my struggle.
After I got the dress zipped up, there was a button section at the top
I couldn't get with my hands. Damn it, I'd have to ask Tomoyo, /
again/. I turned to face her again. "Uhm, Tomoyo... could you help
me...?"
"Again~? Hehe, of course Kurogane!" She said with a slight smirk.
After she buttoned it, I turned around and looked at her. She smiled
happily, "Kurogane it looks wonderful on you! And I am sorry, but I
must be going now!"
And with that, the dream faded into black and I found myself on my
bed. Sitting up slowly, I felt something next to me. I picked it up
and looked at it; it was the dress Tomoyo made me wear. She must've
planned it out, for me to get this dress.
I placed the dress on the bed as I stood up and stretched. I think I
slept for a long time.
I looked out the window and saw it was dark out; I must have been out
for a very long time. I decided to try out on the dress, just to see
how it looked, not that I actually wanted to wear the dress...
And, I knew that if I didn't wear the dress, Tomoyo would find out.
That was the last thing I wanted.
Gingerly, I picked up and put on the dress, zipping it up. But without
help, I couldn't get the top button done up. Shrugging, I decided to
leave it at that and look at myself in the mirror.
Holy crap.
It really did look good on me. Really good. The dress highlighted my
hair and eyes. Ah crap! I was starting to think like a woman!
Although, it does look good on me...
I twisted and turned in the mirror until someone burst in the door. I
jumped and looked over in slight, only slight fear, hoping it wasn't
either of the kids. It was the mage, I breathed a sigh of relief, He
had a blue-ish bundle in his arms. "Mage?" I asked warily.
He smiled hugely and walked over to me, "Kuro-sama! That dress looks
very nice on you~! Very sexy~! Hyuu~!"
I scoffed, "Whatever. What's that you got there?" I asked, pointing to
the bundle. He smiled again, "Why Kuro-tan, I'm so glad you asked~! I
went to sleep a couple minutes ago, and I saw Princess Tomoyo! She
gave me this lovely dress~!" He held up a dress that was blue with
white trimmings. Trimmings in the same spot as my dress.
"It kinda looks like my dress..."
"It does~ I wanna try it on~" And, of course, the mage started taking
off his clothes right in front of me.
For some strange reason, that made my face explode in a blush.
"Oi, idiot! Give me some warning when you're going to do that!" I
yelled, quickly turning the other way.
He shrugged and slipped into the dress. He got it zipped up, then
tried to do up the last button, which he couldn't reach. He pointed to
the button on the dress, "Help please~?" He asked. I sighed and
helped him with the zipper and button that were on the back, same
place as the ones I had.
"Help me with mine?" I asked, turning around. He nodded and
buttoned it up, not saying a word.
We stood next to each other in the mirror. Oddly enough, he looked
more like a woman than me and I was a woman. Weird. I noticed that the
dress didn't quite fit him as well as mine. He was lacking breasts.
Odd how my dress fit my body perfectly...
Almost like she made it specifically for me, but she's never been to
that world. Maybe she got it from the Tomoyo of this world, which
wouldn't surprise me in the least.
She's done it before.
I looked into the mirror, at the mage. He seemed to be trying to
decide on whether to do something or not. His arm kept twitching, like
he wanted to, maybe, I don't know, put his arm around me? I decided
'Why the hell not?' and put my arm around him and pulled him close. He
gasped at first, but he didn't lean into me. He kept leaning farther
and farther away, that is until I pulled him close. "Damnit mage, if
you wanna do something, just do it."
He smiled and relaxed into my arms, but I could tell he was still wary
of me. "I never imagined I would wear a dress of my own volition.
Actually, I never imagined that I would be a woman... Or that I would
even consider...liking a person like...you," Gah, confessing my
feelings? Ugh, what was wrong with me? I can't even say it out right
what I wanna say...
And, I hoped my small confession would make him feel better, but he
tensed in my arms so I released him. I waited for him to turn around
and look at me. After a few seconds, he did, with an annoyingly fake
smile, "Aha, Kuro-sama. Can you help me get this undone?"
"Mage...?" I asked, confused at his demeanour. Did I say something
wrong?I thought saying that was going to he a good thing...
If so, why did he look so...fake?
He nudged me and pointed to the buttons, whining incoherent sounds.
"Hurry up! I wanna go to bed!" He said, trying to mask his impatience,
although...he wasn't doing a good job of it.
"Yea, but only after you answer my questions," I grabbed his shoulders
and flipped him around to face me, he laughed bitterly,
"Is that all you ever want? Answers?" He asked, with an odd tone to
his voice.
"I just want to know what the hell is going on." I answered sharply,
not loosening my grip on him. He looked me pointedly in the eyes and
asked,
"What if these answers make more questions? Ones that won't be easy to
answer." I glared at him, trying to figure out what the hell he meant,
"So, what is your question? The one you always seem to have,"
"I've been told by four people, yourself included, that you have
feelings for me." I said, watching for his reaction, it softened for a
second before going back to what it was before,
"And?" He asked me simply and coldly. He looked at my hands on his
shoulders, then back at me, "Kindly remove your hands. I'll get
someone else to help me remove the dress."
I released him slowly, letting my arms slide down his. When I reached
his hands, I held onto them, trying to pass a message that I did care
and just wanted to help. I felt him jump and his muscles tighten. He
looked up at me, glaring a bit, I hoping my eyes looked like they were
trying to implore him to let me help, because they were.
He pulled his hands out of mine and started to walk away. I planned to
grab him, to pull him in for a tight hug, but he dodged my hand that
grabbed for him.
He tried not to slam the door, but the slam of the door was so loud...
What the hell?
WHAT THE HELL?
Damn him, I try to help him, tell him how I feel, but of fucking
course not. He has to be like that!
"DAMNIT!" I yelled and picked a vase, chucking it at the wall. It
smashed when it hit the wall, making a huge crashing sound.
I scowled at the fact the mage didn't even come back in to check if I
was alright, but why would he?
I walked over to the window, looking outside the pitch black night.
Opening the window, I slipped into the pitch blackness.
More coming soon!
Reviews would be AMAZING! Thanks~
