Took me ages, but here it is! Many thanks for your reviews guys, I hope this will keep you satisfied for a while. (Oh, and ArmorBlade: I personally think Kagami looks great with short hair, but I'll let you know that you'll get to see her old hairstyle again.)
I generally try to avoid unnecessary Japanese in this fanfic (that's why I use "sis" instead of "onee-chan, etc.). However, I decided to leave Itadakimasu, because there is no viable equivalent in English, and all attempts at translation I've seen were more or less lame.
Again, many thanks to my excellent beta Shadowfox026. Seriously, if you get the chance to get writing help from her, go for it — even if she demands your soul in exchange, it'll be worth it.
3rd July 2020, Tokyo
Kagami was still trembling from the emotional shock that gripped her so tightly. She was recovering now though and another kind of anxiety started taking hold of her: a healthy, normal state of panic.
She has just called Tsukasa. She made her worried, probably giving hints that she was going to hurt herself. Besides, she could not present a rational explanation on why she called in the first place, or what exactly she wanted from her sister. Now Tsukasa was on her way here, most likely having alarmed the entire house before she left. This spelled trouble, and could damage Kagami's reputation at the very least.
Still lying in the dark, she lit another cigarette. Will Tsukasa come alone? If Minoru comes too, or indeed anyone else, it will be even more awkward. How would she explain it? Say that she felt lonely? Damn it, she wasn't five anymore! That would sound ridiculous, and the image of her that probably was already imprinted in her family would change from weird to downright crazy. She would never live it down. If Tsukasa comes alone though, it wouldn't be half as bad… Tsukasa would understand; she had a heart of gold. But still, she would be very worried as Kagami had never pulled off anything remotely like that, even when she actually had been five. If Minoru was with her, or their father, or whoever... Apart from everything else, she wouldn't like anybody see her in her present state, she knew she probably looked terrible.
Kagami lit yet another one cigarette, forgetting she'd barely finished the previous one. What have I done, what have I done... And right after I did that while thinking of Tsukasa, in a way... She didn't even feel ready to start pondering that yet. But Tsukasa will be here nonetheless... This was a cheerful thought, a pleasant thought. God, she must have been really lonely to wait for Tsukasa so impatiently, but she suspected that it was not so simple. She didn't spare it any further thought at the moment, instead concentrating on analysing the situation and finding the best solution. She'd really done it this time, but hopefully it wouldn't make her lose her face... But what if...? and Tsukasa...
A sudden doorbell sound startled her, and only then she realised she was still in the nude. What's happening to me?, she groaned inwardly, trying to get back to the present moment as soon as she could. She set her eyes on the only piece clothing in her view, the discarded yellow dress, and put it on as quickly as she could while hopping towards the door. The doorbell sounded again, so Kagami straightened her dress, prepared for the worst, and opened the door slightly.
Tsukasa was standing there, dressed in a black jacket, white blouse, and checked skirt and she was gripping an oversized First-Aid kit. The mismatch of blouse buttons told Kagami that Tsukasa had been rushed. She was looking very serious; and she was alone, thank God.
"Sis... Are you okay?", she asked quietly but firmly.
Kagami fully opened the door and simply caught her sister in a strong hug, practically dragging her inside. She felt Tsukasa's free arm wrapping around her in response. She breathed a delicate scent of Tsukasa's hair and skin.
After a moment, she let go of her younger sister and closed the door, again plunging the apartment into darkness. She looked at her intensely and Tsukasa returned her look, slightly confused but relieved to see Kagami alive and well.
"Sorry about that call, Tsukasa...", mumbled Kagami. "I shouldn't have done it. You must have been worried."
"That's okay, sis...", Tsukasa responded, and gave Kagami an apprehensive look. "Uh, are you really okay?"
"Yes... I'm fine. I just... felt alone." Kagami felt very embarrassed about this, but she decided to drop any pretence. She hoped that Tsukasa would understand, somehow.
Tsukasa nodded; she still looked a bit worried, but more relaxed than a moment ago. She took her black jacket off, then proceeded to remove her shoes.
"Uh... do you have electricity problems?"
"...No", Kagami replied flatly.
Tsukasa cast her another worried look, but didn't press the matter. "You were crying...", she whispered instead, and her look hardened a bit. She put her first aid kit on a shelf, and took a small step towards Kagami.
Tsukasa wasn't accustomed to taking care of her older sibling like this, but it didn't take much to realise what a mess Kagami was tonight. So Tsukasa did the only thing she could: she hugged Kagami again, and wiped some moisture off her cheeks.
"Don't worry sis, I'm here. Um... are you hungry?", she asked with a gentle smile.
Kagami blinked in surprise. "Hungry? Well… I guess I could have something to eat...", she admitted, still blushing slightly.
Tsukasa gently let go of her and simply proceeded to the kitchen, now radiating an aura of a happy someone who knew what they were doing. Was she always so strong? Kagami asked herself, or was it motherhood which awakened this side of her?
Kagami's kitchen was soon bustling with activity. Tsukasa found some shrimp in the fridge, boiled water, and washed some rice, humming to herself softly. She obviously took her idea quite seriously; Kagami could only stand in the doorway and watch her.
Tsukasa was beautiful.
Seemingly not noticing Kagami's stare, Tsukasa got into her usual habit of casual chitchat about things at home. She talked about how adorable Matsuri's kids were, about Inori's family new house in Kobe, about some birthday party preparations that they were not supposed to know about... As always, it helped Kagami to relax, even though she suspected that Tsukasa's ramblings were not entirely random, no matter if Tsukasa had it planned before coming here or not. She did her best to maintain the conversation, asking Tsukasa questions about this or that, while her sister was bustling around merrily, and the kitchen was filling with the delicious aroma of cooked seafood.
"All right, sis, it's ready!", announced Tsukasa half an hour later, dividing the portion between two plates (Tsukasa's was considerably smaller). There were shrimp and several types of vegetables, and a few rice balls too. It definitely looked delicious, so Kagami sat at the kitchen table more enthusiastically that she would have expected. She remembered to keep her legs closely together though, as not wearing anything under her dress suddenly made her feel really awkward.
Tsukasa smiled at her encouragingly. "Itadakimasu!"
"Itadakimasu!", Kagami responded, then took a bite of the pinkish meat. "Tsukasa, this is fantastic." Did she even have this kind of stuff around her kitchen?
"Thanks, sis! This is nothing really, I just took whatever I could find."
"Still, that's very good. I wonder how you manage to manage your weight with that kind of food..." Tsukasa's body was not as fit as Kagami's, but she definitely wasn't fat.
"Oh, I don't exactly eat like this everyday", laughed Tsukasa.
"That's right, I usually come on Sundays...", muttered Kagami, reaching for an onigiri. If there was a perfect rice ball contest, this one would be a good candidate.
They continued like this, making small talk and eating, lost in a world of salty aroma and clicking chopsticks. They were almost through their plates, when Tsukasa suddenly jumped. "Oh my, I need to call home! They must be worried about you."
"Oh, right..." Again, Kagami felt a sting of remorse, but found no words to express how she felt.
Tsukasa produced a small pink cell phone from her pocket and hurried out of the kitchen. After a while, her voice could be heard from the living room explaining that Kagami was not feeling well, but most of the details were lost to her sister. Not that she wanted to hear it anyway, she already felt quite ashamed about the evening.
Having finished the meal, Kagami put both plates in the washer and waited patiently for Tsukasa to return. Her sister took a good few minutes over the phone but finally she returned to the kitchen, putting her phone back to her pocket.
Kagami sighed. "Tsukasa, I'm truly sorry I caused you so much trouble. I don't know what's gotten into me tonight. I made you leave the family and come to my place for no good reason... Even though I know you have many commitments. I really shouldn't have."
Tsukasa approached her and gently put her hand on Kagami's shoulder. "Don't worry, sis. You're important to me, too. And you always took care of me, when I wasn't, umm... very wise..." She didn't seem too embarrassed though, as she gave Kagami another warm smile.
"And... what about you going back home? You shouldn't be wandering around this late... I'll get you a taxi, okay?"
"Oh, don't worry, sis", Tsukasa waved dismissively, "I said I probably wouldn't be home tonight. So I can stay in your place, if you want me to."
If I want her to? Hell, I do.
"Oh, right...", Kagami nodded, "Actually, I wouldn't mind. Thanks..." She suddenly felt her eyes stinging again. Tsukasa must have spotted this, and she gave Kagami another affectionate hug. Kagami almost whimpered, and held on to her sister.
They stayed like this for perhaps a minute, but Kagami was oblivious to the flow of time. She sank into Tsukasa, hoping this wouldn't end. She couldn't bring herself to break that contact, and when Tsukasa finally moved away, Kagami did the only thing she could think of to remain in touch.
She started tickling her sister.
"Aiiiiii!", squealed Tsukasa, as Kagami attacked her sides mercilessly, just like when they'd been five or so. Tsukasa's resistance obviously hadn't improved since then, as she was only a giggling, helpless prey to Kagami's attack. Soon Kagami started giggling herself, nimbly dodging Tsukasa's weak attempt at retaliation directed at her belly. They almost fell over when Tsukasa, laughing like crazy, managed to get away from her sister and sped out of the kitchen like a bullet.
Kagami brushed her short hair out of her eyes. "Just wait, you...!", she threatened, and followed Tsukasa into the living room, then to the bedroom where her victim was certainly hiding. Before leaving, she turned off the lights in the kitchen, plunging the apartment back into darkness; which is why she didn't manage to dodge a pillow which hit her face as soon as she entered the room.
Laughing, she held the pillow like a makeshift weapon and descended upon Tsukasa, who was sitting on her bed, also splitting her sides now. She managed to knock her over and prodded her with the pillow a few times, extorting a few more squeals of delight. Having secured her victory, she put the pillow aside and took a deep breath, still giggling a little. They were both gasping now and their faces — especially Tsukasa's — were flushed with laughter.
"Whew...", said Kagami after a moment, "that sure was fun. I think I needed that."
Tsukasa stretched on the bed. It was pretty dark here, but Kagami could see her bright eyes pretty clearly. She felt... moved, somehow; she felt much more in control now but also strangely apprehensive about the situation. Still, she didn't want to stop this physical contact with her twin.
"Tsukasa, you were probably walking around all day. Give me your foot. Don't worry, I won't tickle you..."
"Oh, okay", came a quiet, but resolute response. Kagami withdrew towards the end of the bed and took Tsukasa's leg, which was clad in a white stocking, to which a few crumbs had stuck when she had been cooking. She gently slid it off Tsukasa's foot and started massaging it. It was warm, and seemed very clean; Tsukasa had obviously came here straight from bed. Why exactly she was wearing something that elegant (and white panties to match, which Kagami could see pretty well from her position), while the rest of her clothes must have been put on hastily, was something Kagami did not think about right now.
Tsukasa purred with pleasure as Kagami's palms were running back and forth, stroking her skin and squeezing the small bones. Kagami was no expert, but she found this surprisingly easy; Tsukasa's foot was too cute not to know what to do.
"Give me your other foot, now", said Kagami softly. Tsukasa obliged with enthusiasm, shifting her weight a little and resting the foot that Kagami massaged on the bed. Kagami resumed her work, aware of how relaxed Tsukasa was becoming. She was getting pretty relaxed herself.
After a few minutes, Tsukasa broke the silence. "Umm, would you like me to do the same to you, sis?", she asked casually.
Kagami suddenly felt a bit shy. Doing this to Tsukasa was fine, but being on the receiving end was... somehow more meaningful. Still, there wasn't any good reason not to agree, and she certainly wouldn't mind. "Sure, why not."
They switched positions, with Kagami laying on the bed and Tsukasa kneeling by her feet. Kagami soon felt Tsukasa's nimble fingers stroking her toes, sole, and heel; those fingers were slipping between her toes, too, which felt a bit embarrassing yet insanely good. Kagami gasped with rapture, unable to hold back completely; her worries were very far away now, chased away by the strange intimacy that was building up between them.
"Could you roll on your stomach, please?", Tsukasa asked matter-of-factly. Slightly surprised, Kagami obliged, not uttering a word. She soon felt Tsukasa's hands massaging her calves with expertise. Did she learn it in medical school?, Kagami thought, or was it… at home? Or maybe she's just a natural? She felt too good to care though at the moment. Still, she let a nervous sigh when her sister's hands moved to the bottom part of her thighs, just below the line of her skirt.
"Wow, sis, you're really tense", said Tsukasa's gentle voice. Indeed, Kagami was aware that her body was slightly shaking. "Would you mind if I massage your back?"
Kagami lifted her body slightly and unbuttoned her dress down to her navel, then allowed the material to slide down to her waist. Having freed her arms, she returned to her previous position, her back completely exposed. Once it happened, she suddenly found her position much less embarrassing than she had expected; she felt relaxed now, anticipating. She felt Tsukasa kneeling over her thighs, and with slight surprise she noticed that her sister's skirt was gone, probably to ease her movements.
Kagami felt Tsukasa's hands resting on her shoulders, then sliding down her shoulder blades, locating and taking thorough care of every single muscle. It was a slow, unrushed process, which was gradually making her more relaxed, focused and conscious. She couldn't remember the last time when her choleric temperament had been so mitigated, but it must had been a great moment.
After some time passed, she also grew unusually bold.
"Mmh, Tsukasa… You know it's all about massaging the muscles, right?", she said casually, and even smirked.
"Uh, yes?", came Tsukasa's agreeable response.
"Then, I guess you know where those muscles are?"
Tsukasa giggled. "You're right. I was getting there, anyway."
She grabbed Kagami's dress and carefully slid it down her hips, then all the way down to her feet, and off. Kagami knew she should be really concerned now, or at least slightly uncomfortable, but somehow she didn't. It was normal to get naked for a massage after all, and it felt good too.
Really, really good… When Tsukasa's hands grabbed her buttocks, tenderly but undeniably firmly, Kagami let an actual moan. Forbidden visions, kept more or less in check until now, began swirling in her mind. The fact she was both so calmed and concentrated now didn't help; actually, it seemed to amplify these thoughts and experiences. It was Tsukasa, wonderful Tsukasa, and her beautiful hands were this close to her privacy, both in the general and physical sense. And these hands… they weren't shy at all.
As Tsukasa was tending to her buttocks and thighs, Kagami felt something breaking inside her. It didn't hurt, though; she felt strangely disconnected from reality, yet entirely in control. She knew perfectly well what she wanted now.
"Tsukasa", she tried to sound casually but her voice was dark and ardent, "would you like to swap?"
"Oh, why not… Um, I need to get undressed, right?"
"How else would I do it?", answered Kagami with a hint of impatience.
Tsukasa quickly unbuttoned her shirt and slid it down, exposing her back to Kagami. Her skin seemed pale in the dark, almost angelic. She laid down on the bed, so open and trusting, dressed only in her fancy white panties. She was radiating warmth and secrets.
Kagami's hands approached her sister's skin almost on their own. They slid from her neck to her shoulders, then down her back and around her hips. She carefully massaged Tsukasa's back muscles, taking her time to learn and appreciate this body. Tsukasa was so different tonight, yet so familiar; not only because Kagami had always known her, but also because she was so damn similar to herself… but different. Yes, it somehow made sense… or rather, making sense became irrelevant.
Kagami's hands continued working on their own, weaving a delicate but strong flow between her and Tsukasa. To Kagami, it felt like this force was uniting them and binding them together in a completely new way. Emboldened by this feeling, Kagami casually took Tsukasa's panties off, fully revealing her curvy physique. Then she rubbed the small of her back, and finally grabbed her buttocks eagerly, extorting a surprised, delightful gasp from her sister. Not wanting to hurt that precious bond, she quickly withdrew to the hips, caressing that delightful shape.
Her caresses soon extended to the sides of Tsukasa's body, and finally she slid her palms under Tsukasa's stomach; by reaching a bit too low, she realised with mild surprise that her sister seemed to be completely shaven. To Kagami, it somehow made Tsukasa even cuter, despite being almost kinky.
"Uh… Sis… please, not there…", Tsukasa protested weakly. Kagami's hand quickly returned to a slightly more proper place, somewhere on Tsukasa's thigh. Tsukasa seemed happy enough, and she fell back into that blissful, relaxed smile that Kagami learned to associate with her sister being really happy. It warmed her heart and also made her blood rush.
Kagami kept massaging and caressing Tsukasa's back and thighs, taking in all that bliss they both felt at the moment. However, with every second she was becoming more and more certain on what to do. Finally her hands moved again under Tsukasa's stomach, and she lifted Tsukasa's hips, bringing her to a kneeling position. Then she placed a soft kiss on her buttock, and inhaled Tsukasa's delicate scent.
Kagami continued on kissing Tsukasa's warm skin, slowly moving towards the other buttock. She expected some protest, but she heard none this time; so she simply continued her caresses, until she was confident that no protest would ever come. Her palms held Tsukasa's hips shamelessly and firmly now, like they were preventing her sister from getting away. Now she felt more than Tsukasa's warmth and softness; it was the scent of her womanhood.
Driven by impulse, Kagami lowered herself even more and buried her face between Tsukasa's thighs. Her tongue started probing carefully, while her hands kept Tsukasa's thighs apart. Tsukasa made no sign of resistance; instead, her loud gasp could be heard, encouraging Kagami even more. Her lips soon joined her tongue in caressing and nibbling on Tsukasa's soft flesh. Kagami's mouth was roaming freely and greedily around Tsukasa's most intimate area, getting more and more of Tsukasa, of her overwhelming presence. Miraculously, Tsukasa responded by bending her body even more, exposing herself to Kagami's caresses. Once in a while, she gave a distinct moan; her voice was trembling, yet somehow serene.
Kagami didn't want to be in a hurry, but she couldn't help but keep licking and sucking and Tsukasa apparently couldn't stop moaning. Kagami kept her eyes closed now; she only cared about what she could taste, feel, and hear. Her own body was burning, but it didn't matter: she only wanted this wonderful ritual to continue, to stay this close to Tsukasa forever.
Suddenly, Tsukasa's moans got louder, and within a few seconds she gave an actual scream, soft but untamed. She collapsed on the bed, shivering; suddenly, she looked so feverish and vulnerable that for a moment Kagami froze, terrified that something horrible had happened. However, after a moment Tsukasa casually rolled over in the dark, smiling at Kagami with her entrancing eyes.
Kagami felt her terror about what she'd just did fade away in an instant. Those eyes… They made everything simple and pure, even now. They were almost frightening.
"Hey, sis…", Tsukasa whispered, "would you like to kiss me…?"
Kagami could only nod. She raised her body and kneeled on the bed, suddenly overcome again with uncertainty, her old fear of not being able to kiss properly. Tsukasa probably felt or guessed it, as she kneeled opposite to Kagami and smiled encouragingly.
"Don't worry. Lick your lips a little first…"
Despite being completely intoxicated with Tsukasa, Kagami couldn't help but notice that their traditional roles were oddly reversed. That's right, she remembered, I'm the clueless one here… And she, she's the experienced one… And God, she's so gorgeous too.
She obeyed gladly and licked her lips, taking in Tsukasa's naked form in front of her. Tsukasa nodded brightly, and placed her hands on Kagami's shoulders; Kagami could only respond by embracing Tsukasa, bringing her closer.
They lips met rather fiercely, which took Kagami by surprise, but her mind immediately dissolved; she lost all other senses, aware solely of the sensation on her lips. Tsukasa's little mouth was almost overwhelming, but gentle; she definitely was experienced. Kagami's half-closed eyes suddenly opened wide, when she felt Tsukasa's tongue sliding inside between her teeth and tickling her own.
They kept kissing each other slowly and passionately, and deeper than Kagami had ever thought possible, or realistic. Kagami still felt some residual embarrassment about what she just did to Tsukasa — especially seeing how casually Tsukasa was exploring her mouth right now — but she didn't mind; in fact, she found it alarmingly pleasant. She wasn't worried about anything anymore, she had Tsukasa. Right here, in her arms, on her lips. Very close…
Finally they slowly descended on the bed, with Tsukasa landing on top. She kept kissing Kagami, but her palms started tracing Kagami's body more, quickly getting to her right breast and making Kagami moan rather loudly. Tsukasa's fingers started playing with Kagami's nipple, while Tsukasa's lips moved to Kagami's neck. Oh God, I'm in heaven, Kagami thought.
After a moment of twirling and moaning, Tsukasa raised her head and looked Kagami straight in the eyes. "Sis", she said softly but seriously, "do you want me to do that to you…?"
Flustered Kagami didn't bother with an elaborated answer; again, she simply nodded, not trusting her voice at all.
Tsukasa nodded as well in response, and moved her hand down Kagami's body, slowly, teasingly but without any delays. Kagami felt a palm that wasn't hers between her thighs, and soon she felt a gentle touch that made her mind explode. She suddenly understood that she lived for this very moment; all her life was simply waiting for Tsukasa to touch her. As inexplicable as it was, she felt more than ready.
Kagami was laying there moaning, completely immobilized and overwhelmed by Tsukasa's caresses. The only thing she could do was to put her own hand on Tsukasa's soft hair, when Tsukasa was kissing her neck and simultaneously rubbing her most intimate place. Kagami's body and mind was already dissolving, giving in to the enormous wave that was rising inside her, filling her with blinding whiteness. Finally, as soon as Tsukasa's fingers grabbed her more directly, Kagami exploded and vanished in that light…
…She was descending from unimaginable heights that was her orgasm, slowly regaining consciousness. She was still screaming and shaking, but her arms were tightly wrapped around a warm body… Tsukasa's body. Tsukasa wasn't moving her hand any more, but it was still there, just like she was afraid to remove it.
Yet, when Kagami started taking in the sight of Tsukasa's face, her sister didn't seem frightened. She was smiling slightly, in a way Kagami hasn't seen for a long time… if ever.
"Good night, sis", whispered Tsukasa, and rested her head just under Kagami's chin. Kagami loosened her grip and held her sister protectively.
"Good night, Tsukasa", she whispered hoarsely, closing her eyes again. Soon she was getting drawn into Tsukasa's heartbeat, which she could clearly feel under her own breast. Within a few minutes, Tsukasa was asleep.
Tickling: providing your default option for opening an erotic scene since was created. :) Seriously, it was only after I wrote this scene when I realised it. It's fun however, so I don't care (and I doubt you do).
And if you think that's the end… you're in for a surprise. We're just getting started! ;)
