Anonymity

Chapter Four

-Truth or Dare-

"So what are we playing?" Tomoyo asked as she entered the Sabaku residence. She had long black hair that fell down just past her rear, and light, crystalline eyes. She was dressed in some shorts and a tight V-neck shirt, obviously ready to spend the night with her boyfriend.

"Truth or dare." Haru explained to her, leading her into one of the more casual lounging rooms where everyone was. "Here baby, gimme your stuff and I'll take it upstairs." He held his hands out and she placed her bags and pillow in his arms.

She walked in and smiled at the group waving. "Hey guys." She said, focusing on Akito and growing confused. "Akito how come you look so jittery?"

"I'm expecting an important text message, and some douche decided that our phones have to stay upstairs." The ebony haired boy glared over at Toshiro.

"Whatever. You were acting like a woman. Checking your phone every five seconds for your texts."

Natsumi raised her hand, making the redhead sigh. "What?"

"I have to pee. So…be right back." She said, getting up and running from the room and up the steps.

Satomi stared after her, Kyo sitting extremely close to her side and hovering over her. "Why isn't she using one of the downstairs bathrooms?"

The youngest Sabaku bounded up the steps, and once she was in her room, dove for her bed, digging out her phone from the pile and opening it up, seeing in fact she had a text. Excitement rushed through her and she read it to herself before replying.

What else would I want from you? A kiss, maybe the ability to cop a feel, something. Lol. Actually, at this point, I would be content just to see your face, hear your voice, and hold you in my arms as we spent the night together.

Natsumi smiled, feeling her heart soar. Knowing her time was sparse she quickly texted him back.

I would love to see your face and hear your voice. But we talked about this. I don't want us to end…I'm afraid of this changing. But I think soon…I'd even maybe be so bold as to kiss you once we do. Hehe

After it was sent she hurried back downstairs and returned to the living room. "Okay. Back." She smiled, seeming much better than before.

"Alright. Vincent," Toshiro glanced over to the football player. "Why don't you start us off?"

"Sweet." The auburn haired boy smirked, looking over at the girls. "Natsumi, truth or dare?"

The pink haired girl blinked and shifted uncomfortably. "Dare?"

His smirk widened at his luck. "I dare you to show us your bra." He said, already anticipating the amount of skin he was about to be allowed to see.

"What?" Toshiro went wide eyed. "Why would you say that?"

"Oh relax Toshiro." Natsumi rolled her eyes. "It's just as if I were wearing a swimsuit." She sighed and grabbed the edge of her shirt before pulling it up, revealing her black bra that had pink polka dots scattered across the fabric, as well as showing off her cleavage. Though Toshiro covered his eyes, inwardly groaning.

"Yeah, that's nice." Vincent nodded, staring right at her chest. Akito looked at the sight as well, before standing.

"Be right back." He said, leaving the room. He rushed upstairs, picking up his phone and reading the text that was waiting for him. He smiled, responding quickly so that he wasn't missed downstairs.

Now I look forward to the day we meet with even more anticipation at the thought of getting to touch my lips to yours. You know, I've been told that I'm an excellent kisser. I could rock your world. =)

Once it was sent, he went back to the living room, where everyone was waiting to see who Natsumi would pick. "Sorry about that." The ebony haired man said, sitting back down.

"Um…okay. Akito, truth or dare?"

"Dare."

She looked around the room and smirked, deciding it was time for payback on her brother. "I dare you to kiss my brother on the lips." She pointed to the redhead with a devious smirk. "And not just a peck."

Tomoyo giggled. "That's kinda hot."

Haru went wide eyed and looked to his lady. "What?"

"What?" she retorted. "I enjoy some yaoi every now and then."

Akito shrugged, not really caring as he looked over at his best friend. He was comfortable enough in his own sexuality to kiss a guy, and it was just a game after all. It wasn't like anybody would broadcast it. What happened in the truth or dare circle, stayed in the truth or dare circle. "Pucker up big boy." he smirked.

Toshiro went wide eyed and leaned back. "Like hell am I going to kiss you when you speak like that, sicko." He glared, taking a deep breath and bracing himself for the most traumatic moment of his life. Akito just laughed and waved it off, not caring since he had his lady already. He leaned in and gave Toshiro a long, satisfying kiss before both jerked away and spit. "Men taste horrible!"

"You're telling me." Akito glared, rubbing his tongue with his hand. What he wouldn't give to be making out with his lovely little CrescentMoon right now. Satisfied that he got his friend's germs off his tongue, he sighed. "Toshiro, truth or dare."

"Fuck you man, truth." Toshiro said, crossing his arms.

Natsumi stood and crept across the room. "Sorry, gimme a second." She said, hurrying back up the steps to check her phone to find another message.

I bet you are. So when do I get to see more of you? After all the more I get the more I may be inclined to show.

She sent the message and then scrolled through her locked pictures, finding one she'd taken for him just the other day so she could send it to him. She'd actually taken off her top and covered her chest with her arm, pushing up her breasts and pulling down her shorts so it looked as if she were fully naked. She sent the picture and once she was sure it sent she ran back down the steps, sliding back in the room and taking her seat, seeing that it as Kyo's turn.

The blonde looked over at Satomi. "Truth or dare?" he asked her.

"No."

He blinked. "Awe come on Satomi, you have to pick something. It's part of the game." He whined, sticking his lower lip out at her.

She crossed her arms defiantly. "No."

"Please?" he asked. "I promise it's not anything bad either way."

"I don't care."

Tomoyo smiled at the pink haired girl and leaned forward. "Come on Satomi. It'll be fun."

Satomi arched a delicate brow and then sighed, shifting her gaze back to Kyo. "Fine. Truth."

He gave her a pleased smile. "Is it true, that you like me, even the teensiest bit?" he asked, holing up his thumb and pointer finger to indicate the small amount.

Her glare turned icy as she stared at him, emitting a dark aura that everyone felt. "…yes…" she ground out, almost incoherently.

Kyo smiled happily, practically radiating sunshine. "Yay!" he bounced. Akito rolled his eyes as he got up from his seat.

"Hold on a sec." he said as he left the room, going to check his phone. Excitement welled up inside him when he saw that he had two text messages from CrescentMoon. He read her words, and then looked at the other one, his eyes widening at the picture as he felt his lower regions stir to what he was seeing. He went to the camera on his phone, before lifting up his shirt, holding the hem in between his teeth. Then he pulled down his pants and boxers a bit, before positioning his phone so that he took a picture of his abs and pelvis, the edge of the picture stopping right before it got to his member. He sent the picture, righting his clothing before texting her.

There, a little taste of me. If you want to see more, all you have to do is ask. I'm not shy about those things. =) And that picture of you is amazing. You have no idea how turned on I am right now.

Once that was done, he went back into the living room and noticed that it had moved on to be Haru's turn in his absence. And the brunette's gaze zeroed in on his friend. "Akito! Truth or dare!" he proclaimed, calling him out.

"Dare." The ebony haired boy sighed, sitting down.

"I dare you to remove your boxers' right here and give them to a lucky lady!" he snickered. "Or male…whichever way you sway."

Every girl in the room went wide eyed, even Satomi, who was beyond shocked at the dare. Akito deadpanned. "You are such an idiot." He said, dropping his pants and stepping out of them.

Minako covered her face unable to even watch. Natsumi's eyes went even wider, unable to take her gaze off of his pelvis. Tomoyo gasped when he grabbed onto them, her own blue orbs glued. "You're not really doing it are you?"

He looked up at her. "It's a dare, I'm supposed to do it." He said simply.

"Why are you staring?" Haru asked, leaning towards her. Tomoyo pushed his face away, not letting up in her stare.

"Please. Everyone wants a chance to see Akito's…"

"Yeah." Satomi glared at Haru. "So shut up."

Akito smirked, and as he began to lower his boxers, Kyo tackled Satomi, covering her eyes. "No!" the blonde shouted, blocking her vision as Akito took off his boxers.

He straightened, holding his black boxers on his finger. Seeing that Minako was too embarrassed to even look, Satomi's eyes were still covered, he looked over to Tomoyo. Knowing that his friend would flip out if he gave them to her, he tossed them at Natsumi, hitting her in the face.

She fell back, the amount of blood that had just rushed to her head making her black out momentarily. Vincent gasped, "You killed her!"

"Get off me!" Satomi yelled, struggling beneath the blonde senior.

"Not until Akito is covered! I must protect your innocence!" Kyo said, staying firm. Akito rolled his eyes, stepping back into his pants and pulling them up. Seeing that it was safe, Kyo removed his hand from the pink haired girl's face.

Akito walked over to Natsumi, picking the boxers up off of her face as he looked down at her. "Natsumi." He said, tapping her cheek lightly.

Toshiro sighed, rolling his eyes. "I wouldn't worry too much. She probably just overheated and fried her circuits."

Tomoyo leaned forward to try and look at her. "Is she okay?"

"I dunno." Akito said, examining her face. "Natsumi." He tried once more, tapping her cheek again.

She groaned, cracking her eyes open and staring up at him. Natsumi blinked and her eyes widened once more, her face turning a dark red. Akito smirked down at her. "You alright?" he asked her.

"…No…" she said softly.

"Do you need some water? An ice pack? Anything?"

Natsumi sighed, closing her eyes. "I need something alright." She mumbled, trying to rid the clear and vivid picture of Akito's dick from her mind and just how badly it was affecting every part of her body.

This caused his smirk to widen. "Come on, let me help you up." He said, reaching out and grabbing her hand to help her back into a sitting position. Once she was upright, he dropped his boxers in her lap. "Those are yours by the way." He murmured, before going back to his seat.

She nodded and took them in her grip, placing them in her lap. "Um, I'll be right back." She said, getting up and hurrying from the room and back upstairs. She shut her door and screamed out in pure delight, holding out Akito's boxers. "Oh my God. Oh my God!" She squealed snuggling into the black fabric. "Oh…God." she beamed, exhilaration surging through her body. She had Uchiha Akito's boxers.

Natsumi began to laugh insanely as she nuzzled them, a small blinking red light catching her eye. She glanced up and her eyes widened when she noticed it was her phone. "Darkfalcon!" she gasped and ran over, picking up her phone and opening up the message.

Guilt ripped through her as she read the message and stared at the photo. He was gorgeous, maybe even as gorgeous as Akito. She shivered at the thought and looked from the boxers in her left hand and the phone in her right. She frowned and went over to the closet, stashing the boxers away and walking out to reply to Darkfalcon.

Hey, sorry. Just crazy time right now. But I'm glad you liked it. I took it just for you. I've actually never done anything like that before. And you have a really amazing body. It's insane because I love talking to you and you're so deep and honest, but you look like you'd be a total ass up front. =) You know being a hottie and all.

She sighed and sent the message, allowing herself some time to breathe. She shouldn't feel bad. It wasn't like she was doing anything wrong. She liked both of them, in different ways. And she wasn't technically taken at the moment. She placed her phone down and walked out from her room, taking her time before she got back downstairs to find it was Minako's turn.

"Um," she tapped her chin as she looked around the circle. "Toshiro, truth or dare?"

"Dare."

Minako blinked, looking slightly surprised. Then she smiled. "One second." She got up and left then, going into the kitchen. She came back out, holding a bottle of vinegar. "I dare you to drink half of what's left in the bottle." She said, holding it out to him.

The redhead frowned, looking displeased with the task but took it from her nonetheless. He uncapped the bottle and gulped, quickly drinking down the contents as everyone frowned in disgust. "Gross."

"Sorry, it was all I could think of." She said sheepishly, taking her seat.

"What the hell are you guys doing?" an annoyed, older voice said from the doorway, causing all the teens to look over to the elder redhead.

Gaara crossed his arms, looking irritated. "Why the hell are there so many people in my house? And do you know what time it is? Get to bed." He pointed upstairs.

Everyone groaned, but didn't argue with him as they shuffled up the stairs, going into Natsumi's room and getting their phones. The boys turned to leave the room, all except Kyo, who jumped on the bed. Vincent frowned. "You're sleeping in here?"

"Duh, I always sleep in the bed with the girls when we have slumber parties." The blonde said, rolling his eyes as if the answer were obvious.

Natsumi nodded, "Every night."

"Unfortunately." Satomi sighed.

"Satomi, if you don't like it, how come you always sleep in here too?" Minako asked curiously, only making Satomi huff and cross her arms as she looked off.

"Because." She said sharply. "I just do."

"I think it's because she likes to cuddle with me." Kyo smiled, causing Satomi to roll her eyes. Akito just ignored them all, walking out into the hall and reading the text that CrescentMoon had sent him.

I won't lie, I am a total ass up front. But that's just what people that don't really know me see. If you and I were together right now, I'd be myself with you. =) Oh, and if I don't text you back, it's because I'm asleep. My friends are all ready to head to bed. Bunch of pansies. -.-

He put his phone in his pocket then, and headed into Toshiro's room to claim his spot for sleeping.

The girls and Kyo all got ready for bed. Tomoyo smiled at the three. "I had a lot of fun tonight guys. Thanks for letting me come over."

Natsumi smiled and shrugged, pulling down her shorts and tossing them aside. "No problem Tomoyo. I didn't know you weren't a frigid bitch like Taka."

The dark haired girl laughed, "Yeah…I know it surprises a lot of people. But she's nice sometimes."

The younger pink haired girl waved her off and went to her closet, getting out some more fluffy pillows and blankets. Satomi and Minako did the same, tossing aside their shorts so they were left in their tank tops and underwear. After all it was just girls, and Kyo.

Natsumi picked up her phone as it vibrated and walked away from the group. She looked down and read the text, smiling a bit. "Hey, I'll be right back. You guys go ahead and get settled in." she said, leaving the room and entering the dark hallway.

Satomi stared after her sister, before taking Kyo's hand and pulling him with her to the bed and getting settled in her usual spot. Everyone else got settled then, leaving space on the edge of the bed for Natsumi whenever she got back.

Over in Toshiro's room, the guys were all ready for bed and in their spots, all only dressed in their boxers. Akito had just put on his spare pair that he'd brought, and was getting situated when his phone began to vibrate. He opened it up and read the text.

Don't go to sleep on me. =( I'd be so lonely. I left my friends so I could have some private time with you. Sorry I've been so distracted all night. It's just all this crazy crap, it's not you. I was rushing to get my phone as fast as I could.

He quickly composed a reply.

It's no problem. I was stuck with my friends as well, which is why it took me so long to respond sometimes. If you want me to stay up all night to talk to you I will. =)

He sent it, before sighing and laying back, wiping his hand down his face.

Toshiro leaned over his friend, arching a curious brow. "Talking to CrescentMoon?"

Akito glanced at him. "Yeah."

"Doesn't it ever bother you that you don't even know her name?"

He shrugged. "Kind of. But I'm waiting until she's ready to tell me who she is. And I don't want to freak her out by just telling her my name, so for now we're content to just leave things as they are. Maybe after we've known each other a bit longer we will."

"What if she's pulling an Akito?" Toshiro asked.

"A what?"

The redhead sighed. "What if she's just telling you these things as like an alter ego? She could be completely different than you think. Have you even heard her voice?"

"I do not just tell her things as an alter ego." Akito glared, offended. "Besides, I know she's not different in real life. I can just tell. And whether or not I've heard her voice is not important." He said.

"Oh?" he smirked. "So what would you do if she called? Just accept it like any other call?"

"Duh." The ebony haired boy rolled his eyes.

Toshiro gave him a knowing look, "Uh huh."

Akito's phone vibrated then, much different than her text buzz. Akito looked at it and his eyes widened. "Holy crap!" he said, jumping out of bed. "I gotta take this call." He said, rushing over to the door and leaving the room. He poked his head back in, narrowing his eyes at Toshiro, who was smirking. "Shut up man, I don't wanna hear it." He said, before closing the door to the bedroom. He walked down the hall a ways before answering, a smile already coming to his face.

"Well this is a pleasant surprise." He greeted.

"I'm tired of waiting. And I thought…I might want to hear your voice this time before I went to bed."

He felt something flutter at the sound of her voice. It was the most beautiful thing he had ever heard in his life. "Well you have an amazing voice." He told her, wandering around the hall upstairs. "It's sounds even better than I imagined it would."

"Really?" He heard her laugh. "I think it's kinda annoying sounding…at least that's what people tell me anyways."

"Well they're all liars." He smiled at the sound of her laugh. "You have a pretty great laugh as well. I bet it just shocks people when they hear it in person."

He heard it once more, though her voice seemed to somewhat echo. "Thanks. I was kinda nervous about hearing yours…but of course it sounds as perfect as your texts and your body. Almost too good to be true…"

"I know what you mean." He sighed. "I still can't believe I was so lucky to get someone as amazing as you for my partner in this project."

"I know. I was skeptical at first…but thanks to this…I met you, which I don't think I would have had we not been assigned each other. I was actually freaking out because I thought I would get assigned with Rock Ken." She laughed once more, but he could hear the real nervousness that had penetrated her tone.

Akito snorted. "Well I am definitely not that weirdo. Thank God." He shook his head, even though she couldn't see it. "So, how has your day been?" he asked, actually a little tensely.

"It was good. I happened upon you know who a couple times, since he's at my house and all," there was a pause then. "I think…it might just be physical attraction. I even tried being bold like you said and well, it was just…I dunno, sexual. If that makes sense. I much more prefer to talk to you. Especially now that I got to hear your voice."

He couldn't help but feel flattered by her words, and tried not to let it inflate his ego. Key word being 'tried'. "Well, you told me that you've liked this guy most of your life, right?" he asked. "So there must be something more to it besides sexual attraction. I mean, why did you start to like him?"

"I've known him since I was really little and he always stood up for me when I got picked on. I guess…I just got attached."

"Hm, well I don't really know what to tell you, because it would be biased." He smirked. "Since I don't really want you to like this guy."

"Heh, I know you don't. But I would love to know some specifics as to why."

"I should think the answer is obvious." He said. "I want you all to myself. If things between you and this guy kick off, you'll have less time for me, and then I won't get to try my own methods of wooing you." He said, trying to sound nonchalant.

"You want to woo me?"

"Only if you want to be wooed."

"That's kinda lame. What girl wants to have to tell a boy to pursue her?"

"Touché." He said. "Then I shall just continue as I was in my quest to pursue you."

She laughed once more, "It's nice to be pursued…"

"I'm glad I could make you happy." Akito smiled. "So, now that we've spoken on the phone, I'm allowed to call you whenever I want, right?" he asked.

"Sure. I mean, as long as you don't use it to stalk me and find me out." She snickered.

He laughed. "Hey now, don't go giving me ideas. Although, if I wanted to stalk you and find you out, I'd be a bit more creative than that."

"Really? Tell me."

"Ah, ah, ah, if I told you then you'd be able to figure me out." He said. "Besides, you knowing takes the fun out of it."

"Does not." She said, sounding as if she was pouting.

A smirk came to his face. "Maybe not for you, but it would lessen my fun."

"Pleeeeeeeeeeeease." She whined.

"No, I don't think I will." He said. "Besides, the stalking won't come until later in our relationship. So you're safe for now."

She stayed silent for a while. "Maybe I want you to stalk and find me…" she said, almost too softly for him to hear.

"Is that so?" he asked her, intrigued. "Well, that bumps my plans up a few weeks."

"Well…what are you going to do if you come up against your competition?"

He pondered that for a few seconds. "Nothing. I mean, the guy's too stupid to realize the treasure that's right in front of him. He obviously doesn't deserve you, and so there's no competition to be had." He said with confidence.

"Yeah…" she laughed softly, but he could tell it was only halfhearted. "I really like talking with you…I feel calm and relaxed and like…I could tell you anything."

"I want you to be able to tell me anything." He said truthfully. "Because I want to be able to tell you anything. I think I'm closer to you than I am my best friend." He chuckled.

He could tell that she was smiling by her tone. "I feel the same. And you can always tell me anything. I promise I'll always be here for you…no matter what."

"Same here." He said. Then he let out a sigh. "Well, I wish we could keep talking, but my friends are waiting for me, and yours are probably waiting for you as well. And I promise I'll text you in the morning when I get up."

"Swear?"

"Cross my heart and hope to die."

"Well goodnight…"

"Goodnight." he told her, hearing the dial tone shortly after that. He hung up his phone as well, before turning around and heading back towards Toshiro's room. He turned the corner and ran into someone just as they were coming out from one of the spare bathrooms.

He felt small, soft hands steady themselves on his bare chest. "Ow." She groaned out, since it was shadowed and dark in the hallway.

His eyes, already adjusted to the darkness of the hallway, took in the form of Natsumi. "Sorry, it seems we're destined to keep running into each other." he joked.

She visibly tensed, staring wide eyed up at his shadowed face. "Oh sorry Akito." She blushed, thanking god for the darkness. She blinked, feeling his chest a bit more with her hands and lowering down to his boxers. "Are you not wearing a shirt?" she gasped, retracting her hands quickly. "S-sorry." She stuttered, apologizing again.

He smirked. "You know, if you wanted to touch my abs so badly, all you had to do was ask."

"Really?" she asked, her gaze darting up to his.

"Of course." He shrugged, not really caring.

Natsumi tried not to let her inner squealing vocalize. "Isn't…that kind of personal…I mean…I just…" she jumbled on fumbling with her words.

"Natsumi, I've known you over half my life, you can touch my abs whenever you want." He reached out and grabbed her hand, placing it on his six pack.

Oh God. She shivered, swallowing hard as a lump formed in her throat from the amazing feel of his rock hard body. How she wanted to be pressed against it or pinned beneath him. Finally she allowed her touch on him to come from her instead of him holding her hand to him. "They're…really…really sexy." She whispered, sounding absolutely innocent and in awe.

His gaze narrowed slightly, but not noticeably. Her voice sounded a little like CrescentMoon's. He shook his head, knowing that it was impossible. "Thanks." He said, dropping his hand and letting her touch him to her heart's desire. Despite himself, he couldn't help but be turned on by this simple act. "You know, you have pretty sexy legs." He complimented. "I guess I should have noticed sooner, but you were always wearing pants around me." He smirked.

Natsumi moved her hand back, her eyes wide as saucers. She glanced down and finally remembered she'd removed her shorts earlier. "Oh…I…uh. I didn't really like when guys kept hitting on me in middle school…so I pants'd it up."

"Good thing too. I'd have hated to have to beat people up for thinking they had a shot with you." He teased, reaching out and brushing his thumb along her hip over her panties.

"Oh so you're the reason I've never had a guy interested in me? And I thought it was just my lack of allure." She smirked and arched a delicate brow, desperately clinging onto what little self-control she could. His touch shot fire throughout her entire body, exciting her to her peak. How she hated what his little gestures did to her.

"Nah, you have allure." He told her. "Otherwise you wouldn't have given me a hard on earlier." He leaned closer to her face, tilting his head contemplatively. "You know, I never figured you for the naughty type. I must say, it's a pleasant surprise."

She laughed. "Oh don't worry. It's all talk. I'm still pretty inexperienced when it comes to the real deal. I just like to talk big."

"Well, at least you have the right stuff to back up your words." He said, straightening and moving past her, lightly smacking her butt as he did so. "Night Natsumi, see you in the morning." He smirked over his shoulder, disappearing into Toshiro's bedroom.

The pink haired girl stared after him, her eyes wide and a dark red blush on her cheeks. "Oh my God." She breathed out, leaning against the wall. Then her eyes widened, what had she just done? She slid down a bit and slumped. She was so fickle. She'd just told Darkfalcon it was only physical, but when she was around Akito everything in her responded to him.

Almost exactly like it did when she'd talked to Darkfalcon on the phone. She sighed, frowning and walking back to her room. Entering the dark abode, she slid into her bed in her usual spot on the edge beside Kyo, and rested her head on his shoulder with a sigh. Sensing her inner turmoil, the blonde turned his head and opened his eyes, looking down at her.

"Something on your mind?" he asked softly, so as not to wake the sleeping pink haired girl curled against his other side.

"Akito." She frowned, looking up at him slightly.

"Something happen while you were out in the hall?" he inquired.

She nodded. "He's really…confusing. Like he was saying how he was glad I dressed different so he wouldn't have to beat guys up cause' they thought they were good enough for me. And rubbed my hip and smacked my butt and said I had sexy legs. And told me that I could feel his abs whenever I wanted to…I don't know what to do."

"Feel his abs whenever you want I guess." Kyo shrugged. At the look he received he chuckled. "Maybe Akito is finally beginning to notice you as the wonderful woman you're becoming. I mean, now that he doesn't have Taka following him around, he can do whatever he wants, and isn't hindered by her nasally voice."

"Yeah but now there's Darkfalcon in the picture, which insanely complicates things." She tried to explain.

"But you don't know him as well as you do Akito." The blonde reasoned. "I mean, I'm glad you have someone you can talk to about anything and everything, but you know stuff about Akito that not many people do. Like, his favorite food, movies, hobbies, you know, things like that. Maybe this is your chance to have a relationship with him." he suggested. "Or, he's just shamelessly flirting with you, and this is your chance to enter into a torrid affair with your long time love. Besides, you don't even know who Darkfalcon is, nor he you, so there's nothing wrong with you trying to start something with Akito on the side. If it doesn't work out, then you finally have the question as to whether or not the two of you were meant to be answered. Make sense?"

"Isn't that like…cheating though?" she groaned softly, snuggling into his friendly embrace. "I don't want to be playing two guys."

"It's not cheating if you aren't in a serious relationship with either of them." Kyo said. "Technically, you and Darkfalcon are just friends who send one another naughty pictures and have known each other for a week, and you and Akito are mutual acquaintances that are physically attracted to each other and have known one another almost your entire lives. Maybe you should just let things continue as they are for a while, figure things out and see which one you like more. It couldn't hurt, and that way you're completely sure about which one you want. Because either way, you'll regret not trying to get with Akito when you had the chance, and always wonder what could have been if you had."

"True…" she trailed off, nodding with her new resolve. "Okay. You're right." She smiled snuggling into his side. "Night, night Kyo."

"Night Natty. Sleep tight." He said, turning his head and resting it on Satomi's head, which was on his other shoulder.

Natsumi fell asleep then, just assessing what she had to do to try and be with Akito. Kyo was right, she did like Darkfalcon, a lot, but she would always regret missing this chance with Akito. With that resolve in her mind, she drifted off and fell asleep, ready to take whatever life would throw at her.
