A/N: BWA HA HA! I decided to modify this scene a little. It got a bit more...graphic. VIEWER...ERM...READER DISCRETION IS ADVISED. Don't worry, there's not lemon. Because that would be bad. And on another note, I also made the decision to make everyone first, second and third years in high school, rather than middle school. SO DON'T WORRY, THERE'S NO UNDERAGE...I'm gonna stop there. Anyway, enjoy the new, modified chapter 41! (Which is now not so facking long!)

--

She felt her way into her room. As she was feeling around for a flashlight, the door suddenly slammed shut.

"Who's there?!"

"Eiji's right you know, Sayomi. Something bad could happen to you if you're not careful. Someone might just come along..."

She felt a strong grip wrap tightly around her.

"...And snatch you right up."
"Fuji-kun?"

"Well done, you've guessed correctly. Your prize? Why, me of course."

He loosened his grip and draped himself over her shoulders.

"Fuji-kun, what are you doing?"

"Like Eiji said, bad things can happen to a pushover..."

"You're freaking me out a little now..."

"Is that so? Then maybe I should..."

He tightened his grip again.

"...Amp it up a bit."

"You're not making much sense..."

"I don't have to make sense. Not if I'm going to..."

He suddenly released his grip and scooped her into his arms.

"...Sweep you off your feet."

"You're freaking me out a lot now..."

"My, my, Sayomi. You're as light as a feather!"

"Fuji-kun, you're really freaking me out..."

"Freaked out? Then why don't we have a seat on the bed?"

He tossed her onto the bed, Sayomi letting out a scream as she fell.

"Scream as you will, Sayomi. The others aren't going to hear you."

He threw his shirt on the floor and knelt above her.

"There goes my shirt, now how about yours?"

"Fuji-kun, please don't..."

Fuji ran a few fingers through Sayomi's hair.

"My, such silky hair you have. What do you do to keep it so nice?"

"What the hell is this?!"

She swatted his hands away from her hair.

"This, Sayomi, is proof."

"Proof of what?"

"Why, proof that you're a pushover of course."

"How will this prove anything?"

"Being a pushover, you'll let it go farther and farther and farther..."

With each word, he got closer to Sayomi's face.

"...Until something...less than legal happens."

Softly and gently, he kissed her neck.

"Stop it...please..."

"If you truly are a pushover, Sayomi-chan...your virginity will be lost tonight."

He whipered to her, mere inches from her face.

"Fuji-kun, this isn't right..."

"Of course it's right. As long as no one finds out, it's right. And no one's going to find out."

"It shouldn't matter if people find out or not. If it's wrong, it's wrong."
"Don't question my morals, Sayomi-chan. Unless you want something less than legal to happen..."
"N-no..."

Fuji pinned Sayomi's hands down to the bed, intertwining his fingers with hers.

"I'm kneeling on your legs, pushing your hands down...there's nothing you can do to stop me. You're helpless now."

"What exactly are you planning to do?"

"Everything..."

He whispered in her ear and bit it.

"Ouch!"

"What's the matter? Am I hurting you?"

"A...a little bit..."

"Well if you weren't such a pushover, then maybe you'd assert yourself."

"I'm not a pushover..."

"Talk is cheap, Sayomi-chan. Prove yourself."

"Get off..."

"I'm afraid you're going to have to speak up a little louder..."

"Get off me!"

Fuji leapt off and stood beside the bed, clapping softly.

"Well done, Sayomi-chan. You've now proven to me that you're not a pushover."

"So you haven't gone crazy then?"

"No, not at all. I was merely trying to prove a point. Like I said, you'd have let it go farther, and farther..."

"Until something less tha legal happened, I heard you."
"But you shouted at me. You proved that you're not a pushover."

Fuji smiled sweetly.

"You were pretty brave to have gone through that without shedding a single tear. You've got guts, Sayomi."

"Thanks."

"But you know, I didn't have to be so gentle. I could have been much more agressive and carried out my plan, even after you shouted at me. You truly could have lost your virginity tonight. Or your life."

Fuji pulled a small knife from his back pocket.

"That's really serious. Why'd you do it, Fuji-kun? And why would you even consider doing that? And why do you have a knife in your back pocket?!"

"I wanted to prove a point. That you're a pushover. You didn't seem to listen when others told you, so I thought I'd prove it to you. I wouldn't have considered it, because I'm not that type of person. And the reason I carry a knife in my back pocket...well, I like to scare people."

"But I'm not a pushover..."

"If you weren't a pushover, would you have let this all happen?"

"Um...I still need to get a flashlight."
"Right, the power. I'm sure Eiji will have it back on soon."

"So it was Eiji..."

Fuji opened the door and allowed Sayomi out of her room. She took a step out, only to find Eiji standing in the doorway.

"Eh? Fuji, why's your shirt off?"

"I told you I had a plan."

"Oh right, your plan. How'd it go?"

Fuji slipped his shirt on.

"Quite well. But it's time to turn the power back on."

"Oh...um...I'm not really sure how I shut it off...or how to get back there..."

"Well first of all, where did you go?"
"Somewhere in the basement...I think."

"Sayomi-chan, can you show us the way down to the basement?"

"Not without a flashlight."

"Here, you can use my lighter."

Eiji tossed a small lighter towards Sayomi.

"It's amazing how you can throw such a small thing to me and I can catch it...in the dark."

"It's because you're right in front of me."

"Why do you even carry a lighter with you?"
"Well it's not so I can burn random stuff if that's what you're thinking..."

"Here, you take it. I'm afraid I'll burn myself."

She passed the lighter back to Eiji.

"Oh c'mon, it's not that easy to-ouch!"

"You burnt youself, didn't you?"
"No..."

"Hm...that flame isn't going to be big enough to be a sufficient light source...we might need a candle."

"I'll go ask Tiffany if she has any."

They walked clumsily back to the living room to find Tiffany.

"Where are the candles?"

"Candles! I should've thought of that!"

"Well Eiji said he shut off the power somewhere in the basement, so we're going downstairs."

"Okay, but I am not going with you. There are candles in that one drawer in the kitchen."

"Alright. The power should be back on soon."
