Chapter 3

The Bathhouse

(Himeko)

I yawned. How long had I been asleep? I swung my legs to the side of the bed and stood up. I looked around. I was alone. Where did she go? I opened the door to the room and stepped out into a giant hallway. Maybe she went to her room, but which one is hers? I wandered down the hall. I could hear the faint sound of water running. I decided to follow it, not thinking about anything besides the fact that I needed to find her, find Chikane. I soon came to a large bathroom, well it was more like a bath house than anything else. It was even larger than my dorm room back at school. I stepped inside and looked around. Then I saw a figure under a shower of water. I blushed as I watched the water travel along her intoxicating body. She turned her head to look at me and I could feel my face getting hot. My body was nothing compared to hers...

"Oh your up. How is your head feeling?" She started to walk over to me. I struggled to keep my eyes from wandering up and down her. She smirked slightly. "Have you come to join me? I'd like it if I had some company."

I could see that her eyes held a deep gaze of lust. My face was definitely dark red.

"I uh um guess I should take a shower..." I hesitated.

"You know you have to take your clothes off to bathe right?" I looked down.

"I'm sorry. It's just embarrassing..." She smiled.

"I'll let you undress yourself." I watched as she turned around and walked back into the bath.

After I had undressed myself I slowly descended into the hot pool of water. Chikane looked so relaxed. Her head was laid back against the side of the pool and her arms were outspread along the edge. I could feel my heart beating out of my chest as my body heat up. I didn't realize it but I had moved over next to her. She lifted her head up and smiled at me.

"Aren't you glad you finally took off your clothes?" I nodded.

"I guess so. The water feels so nice. It's just I'm embarrassed about my body." I could tell she was looking at me.

"Why would you be embarrassed?"

"Well compared to your figure mine is-"

"It's beautiful." My eyes widened and my face grew hot. "You shouldn't feel self conscious." She moved closer to me. My heart was racing. She reached for my face. "Himeko, you are beautiful. Don't let anyone ever tell you other wise." She ran her fingers through my hair and down my cheek. "Himeko?" I looked up at her. "I don't know what it is but there's something inside me that is telling me there is something between us." She took my hand and placed it on her heart. I blushed, and took her hand and placed it on mine. She smiled. "I knew I wasn't crazy." My face heated up as she inched closer to my mouth and placed her lips on mine. She slowly pulled away. "I love you Himeko. Do you love me?" I placed my fingers on my lips and stared down into the water.

"Yes. I love you Chikane..." She smiled and gazed into my eyes.

"I'm glad." She said as she embraced me.

(Chikane)

I could hear my heart beating now. The feel of her naked body against mine drove me absolutely insane. I lifted her head up and pulled her lips into mine. She wrapped her arms around my neck as I placed my hands on her hips and gently brought her in between my legs. My whole body heated up as she let out a soft moan.

"Mmmm your so cute Himeko..." I smirked and lifted her legs onto my hips so she was pressed against my stomach as we kissed. I gently placed a trail of light kisses down her neck and down to her chest.

"C-Chikane..." I looked up at her. Her face was pink. Mine was probably pink too. "C-Can we move to your room? I-I don't mean to interrupt you but it's just-" I placed my finger on her lips.

"I understand." I got up out of the water and grabbed two towels and wrapped one around myself. I held out my hand to her and helped her out of the pool. I grabbed her legs and picked her up.

"Chikane!" She blushed as I laughed and carried her into my room.
