Although the sun already set hours ago, the full moon lit the entire city on a warm spring night. The moon was slightly revealed through the cracks of a closed blinds in a spacious apartment bedroom. A young brunette dressed in a one-layer pink floral kimono looked at the tiny white light and then glared at a grey haired shirtless man who stood before her in only a pair of blue hakama pants. The girl could tell that the man had no undergarments on underneath since his hips were clearly exposed. The man slowly drew his sword halfway out of his sheath.
"Usagi! This is really embarrassing!" the girl whined.
"Worry not...Princess," the shirtless man responded with a smile in a low voice. He pulled the rest of his sword completely out and held it at a negative forty-five degree angle on his side. "I, Samurai Akihiko, will save you from these demonic herd of bears. And then we will make love in the moonlight." Akihiko was referring to the pile of stuff bears the girl was surrounded by on the bed.
"Usagi do we really have to role play?," the girl asked resentfully. Her attention quickly shifted from Akihiko to the sword. "And where did you get that sword?! Is that real?!"
"Yeah…" Akihiko responded. He looked at the hilt of the sword as he held it towards his face. "I don't remember how much it was though."
"You idiot!," the girl frantically shouted. "What did I tell you about carelessly buying things?! And of all things why a real sword? You could have purchased a fake one."
"...Well that's no fun," Akihiko frowned.
The girl growled and then threw a teddy bear at Akihiko. He immediately dodged the projectile and leaped. The girl was stunned by the airborne half naked warrior. He landed on the bed right on top of her without making physical contact to her body. Akihiko's blue-violet eyes made eye contact with the big olive green eyes beneath him. The girl's blood pressure skyrocketed as soon as she realized she was trapped by her predator. Akihiko grinned and said, "Misaki...you know rabbits are cute and you can't resist them." (Usagi is japanese for rabbit) Flustered, Misaki turns her flushed face away and looked at the pile of stuffed bears next to her. "You're cute? Don't flatter yourself." Akihiko gently grabs Misaki by her smooth face and turns it towards his. He then leans towards her face. Misaki closed her eyes and opened her mouth to welcome Akihiko's tongue. He slowly slips his tongue into her warm moist mouth. The two battle each other with their tongues. Akihiko's hand slowly descends from Misaki's face to her neck and then to her chest. His hand movement instantly decreased when it touched Misaki's cleavage where both the folds of the kimono met. He inserted one of his fingers between the folds and drew it downwards gradually unfolding Misaki's kimono.
"Easy access…" Akihiko slyly whispered as he swept his entire hand underneath the kimono. He felt the warmth from Misaki's bosom and began massaging it. Misaki twitched as she felt his finger continuously rub her nipple in a circular motion.
"Nngh…" Misaki breathed.
"You're already this sensitive?," Akihiko asked.
"Wh-Why do you think!?," Misaki raised her voice bashfully. Akihiko then grabbed the entire breast with a slightly firm grip and pressed the nipple hard with his tongue. He kept licking it with the tip of his tongue. Misaki began to calm down and her heart beated a little slower.
"AH!" Misaki squealed and gasped immediately when she felt Akihiko simultaneously suck on her nipple while he fingered her clothed genital. Misaki could feel Akihiko tugging on her nipple while holding her breast down. Misaki started to breathe harder when Akihiko placed his whole hand inside Misaki's soaked panties and resumed to his pleasuring.
"Hah..Huh..Huh...HUH!" Akihiko's fingers slid up and down rapidly on Misaki's warm and slippery womanhood forcing Misaki to close her legs tightly trapping Akihiko's hand. Akihiko's tongue moved from one breast to the other and did the same thing. Misaki's breathing got louder and louder.
"U-U-Usa-USAGI, WAIT! I'M GOING- I'M GOING!-" Misaki was on the verge of her climax, but Akihiko stopped and removed his hand out of Misaki's underwear. He used both of his hands to quickly pull Misaki's undergarments off and throw it on the ground. He then pushed his hakama down to his knees. As soon as Misaki noticed Akihiko's large and hard member spring up and pointed towards her, she closed her eyes tightly and turned away. Even though Misaki saw Akihiko completely naked before, she could never get used to it.
Misaki opened her eyes and loudly gasped as soon as she felt the tip of something warm graze her between her legs. Then she felt the whole thing enter her.
"GYAH!" Misaki screamed. Akihiko could feel the tightness of the hot and wet walls squeeze him inside.
"Hahhh...It feels so good inside," Akihiko said. He slightly pulled it outward and then swiftly jammed it back inside deeply forcing another squeal out of Misaki. Akihiko bent downwards and hugged Misaki. He attempted to kiss Misaki, but she yelled again as she felt something expanding inside her. She could hear the slippery fop as the speed of Akihiko's movements progressed. Akihiko took the chance and closed the opening of Misaki's mouth with his. Misaki gave up her rebellion and embraced Akihiko's love. She hugged Akihiko and held him against her to prevent separation. The two held each other tightly as they passionately made love. The two could feel the king-sized bed shake and hear the furniture around them shake.
Eventually, Akihiko rose and picked Misaki up. He placed her on top of him while he was sitting up. Misaki then bounced up and down on Akihiko's manhood; breathing harder. Akihiko groaned as he felt the warm and moist pleasure.
Minutes of repetitive lustful movements passed and their voices rose. The climactic end of their carnal union was near..
"Misaki….hah…" Akihiko uttered. "You're on the...Huh...on the pill right? Hhhh~"
"YES! Hah! Hah! HAH! HAH!," she replied.
"Good. Ngh! I'm really close! Huh...Huh...HUGH!"
"AHHHH!" "UGH!" The lovers finally screamed at the same time. Misaki felt the warm explosion inside her; going from wall to wall. The two pant at the mutual pleasurable relief. Once they caught their breath, they romantically kissed.
"I love you," Akihiko said as he gazed into Misaki's eyes. Misaki firmly pressed her lips shut and inflated her reddened cheeks. She closed her eyes, bowed her head. "I l~v you too." Akihiko smiled at her bashfulness and placed his nose and mouth on top of her bowed head.
The bright sunlight filled the entire apartment leaving no trace of darkness. Misaki was tying the laces on her knee high boots as Akihiko watched her.
"I'll be back around eight," Misaki started. "There's already leftover food from last night. All you have to do is warm it up. While I'm at Nii-chan's, I want you to finish your work."
Akihiko sighed and placed his chin on the table. "There's too much to do. I want to sleep."
"Do your work! If you don't, Aikawa-San will kill you, and then me for not reminding you, and then herself! Her life is hard enough and the least you can-" Misaki was ambushed from behind with a hug from Akihiko. "Let me recharge first~"
"You did plenty of that last night!," Misaki complained as she freed herself. "I'll see you later." Akihiko watched the beautiful girl walk out of the apartment. "I guess I'll do my work on time for once."
A three year old boy is putting in his best effort in building a city out of colorful blocks. But his construction was interrupted when he hears someone opening the door. Alert, he turns to the door to meet his visitor. Misaki enters the room with a white bag in her hand. "I'm home!" She looks down and noticed the small child who stood before her with a big smile.
"Hi Mahiro!," Misaki cheerfully greeted the boy.
"MITAKI!," Mahiro excitedly screams as he jumps into Misaki's arms.
"We can work on that pronunciation at one point," Misaki responded. She places Mahiro on his feet and then opened the bag. "Look, I bought cookies!"
"YAAAY!"
"You can have some, but wash your hands first."
"OKAY!" Mahiro frantically ran towards the bathroom. A tall man approaches Misaki with a big smile. He held his arms out and shouted, "MITAKI!"
Misaki instantly laughed out loud. "Nii-Chan No! Don't do that! Mahiro will hear you and think that's the right way to say my name!" She hugged her brother, Takahiro as he wrapped his large arms around her.
"Hehe...It's like I'm hugging a middle school girl~," Takahiro sang. A moment of silence took place right after Takahiro comment.
"Nii-Chan…" the muffled words escaped from Misaki's face buried in Takahiro's chest. "Please don't say that ever again."
"But your just so short!"
"Keep talking and you won't have a single cookie."
"Cookies?!"
"Yeah, I bought these assorted German cookies from this bakery Usagi once took me to."
Takahiro released Misaki and skipped into the kitchen. "I'll go make some vanilla coffee!" Misaki followed her brother into the kitchen. She helped her brother with the preparations. "Where's Onee-san?," she asked her brother.
"She'll be here in half an hour," he replied. "She just finished work. In the meantime, I actually wanted to talk to you."
"About what?"
"Your relationship and your future," Takahiro said with his back turned to Misaki. Misaki took a deep breath and slowly exhaled knowing exactly what Takahiro was going to say. She quietly set the table with saucers and mugs. "What is there to talk about?"
"Misaki, you're going to graduate sooner than you think. It's time you thought carefully about the next step and where you're going to live."
"What do you mean? I'm going to live with Usagi."
"And take the easy way out of life by playing housewife? No. You need to get a career and become a successful woman. It may be fun to live with someone rich, but as an adult, you need to take responsibility and do something for yourself. You can't always rely on someone like a dependant child. What if something happened to Usagi and you have no career or survival-"
"Nii-Chan! I'm not a whore!" Misaki yelled. Her brother turned to her when he heard the anger in her voice. Misaki sat down in the chair and bowed her head. Her face was red and her heart raced. "My feelings…...are genuine."
"Misaki, this is your first boyfriend and he's too old and he comes from a wealthy family so you can't relate to him. Even in Mitsuhashi University, your grades aren't as high as they should be and you put no effort in constructing your future. I can't take your relationship seriously and I forbid you to stay with him."
"WHAT?!" Misaki shouted as she jumped out of her chair causing it to fall behind her. "What the fuck do you know!"
"Watch your mouth," Takahiro grunted. "I raised you. I have more education than you do. I know what's best for you."
The atmosphere was filled with pure anger. The two glared at each other in silence. Mahiro stood there; curious about what the two adults were talking about. Misaki calmly picked the chair up and pushed it in the table.
"You think you know what's best for me." Misaki headed towards the front door and grabbed her boots.
"Misaki," Takahiro called to get her attention.
Misaki ignored him and continued to tie her boots. Then she proceeded to open the door.
"MISAKI!" Takahiro raised his voice. The door slammed and Misaki was gone.
Misaki stormed outside; raging like a thundercloud. She continuously walked until she reached a park. Although she eventually calmed down, she was still upset about her conversation with her brother. Misaki sat on a park bench and stared at the ground. She could feel warm tears sliding on her cheek and falling onto her skirt. She tried to wipe away the rain drops from her eyes, but it kept pouring. She noticed a hand appeared before her. It held a blue handkerchief a little close to her face. Misaki shifted her attention to the smiling dark haired man holding the handkerchief.
"You know Takahashi-San," the man began. "A cute crying girl is bait for any man."
"Ijuuin-Sensei," Misaki's trembling voice responded. She took the handkerchief and dried her face. The fabric was heavenly soft on her cheeks. "Thank you."
"You know, you'd never have to cry alone if you became my lover." Ijuuin sat down next to Misaki. "It's too bad Usami isn't here to comfort you." Ijuuin attempted to put his arm around Misaki, but she sensed his movement. She scooted away from Ijuuin to the other side of the bench sending him an unwelcoming message. Ijuuin smiled weakly at Misaki. "I guess the answer is still the same?"
"Sorry Ijuuin-Sensei," Misaki said looking away from him.
"Why are you crying anyway?"
"My brother and I argued. I didn't like how I responded."
"I see. Family arguments can be pretty rough so I know where you're coming from."
"I know my brother wants me to be happy, but I'm already happy with Usa-". Misaki paused as she just realize she was ranting with someone who had unrequited feelings for her.
"Ah...I made things awkward," Ijuuin chuckled.
"I have to go." Misaki handed Ijuuin his handkerchief, stood up and began walking away.
"Wait, I have a question!"
Misaki halted. "Yes?"
"Why exactly do you love Usami?"
Misaki stood for a moment and thought really hard for an answer. She looked at the cloudless sky and said, "I don't really know. He's childish, does things at the last second, and causes trouble for other people. I clean up after him like a parent every time he makes a mess and I negotiate with him to stop causing the publishing company so much trouble. Why do I love him so much?" Misaki then continued to walk leaving Ijuuin by himself.
She returned to her Takahiro's apartment. She slowly opened the door and instantly made eye contact with Takahiro. The two could understand the guilty expression in both their eyes which prompted them to hug each other out of forgiveness. Misaki's sister-in-law, Manami was delighted to see the make up between blood siblings.
It was already late and Misaki was ready to depart. She noticed Takahiro tying his shoes.
"Nii-Chan, I'll be fine on my own," Misaki informed Takahiro.
"A young woman like you should never walk alone at night," Takahiro responded.
"Don't be stubborn," Manami added. "Let your brother take you home safely."
"Alright. Good Night Nee-Chan. Good Night Mahiro."
"Bye-bye," Mahiro waved watching his aunt and father leave the room.
Once Misaki and Takahiro arrived outside the apartment building, they noticed a huge crowd surrounding the garage area.
"What happened?" Misaki asked.
"Beats me," Takahiro replied. "Maybe the paparazzi found out about Akihiko's home address?"
The two got out of the car and approached the crowd. A news crew was present and so was the ambulance. Misaki noticed a group of paramedics pulling a stretcher with a body bag out of the apartment garage.
"Takahashi-San!" a black haired woman called to get Misaki's attention.
"I remember you," Misaki responded to the woman. "You're Unagi from the second floor!"
"Listen," Unagi instructed. "Usami-San is dead." Takahiro and Misaki's hearts sank. They both vigorously trembled.
"He was killed with blunt force trauma! His face was beaten in! Oh, I'm so sorry!"
Misaki fell on her knees and vomited. She could not believe what she was hearing. She looked back up and watched the men put Akihiko's body in ambulance. Misaki's voice was coming out with short whimpers and low screams. She had a hard time breathing. 'Is Usagi really gone?'
