Under the Influence

Miyuki and Tsukasa- part 3

When we woke up the next morning she was still there lying in my arms peacefully. That is only to be expected, she usually enjoys sleeping in late. I suppose we must have shifted in our sleep, because her head was even with mine on the pillow.

I felt like it would be a shame to wake her though. She's simply adorable when she's sleeping. I found myself playing with her short hair instead.

After a while, she started to stir in her sleep. Just before she awoke I quickly kissed her forehead, and quietly said, "Good morning, Tsukasa-chan."

She looked at me sleepily smiling, or maybe smirking would be a better word for it. She suddenly grabbed me and kissed me on the lips. It was as if she took every ounce of passion from last night and re-ignited it instantly. It made my head spin with pleasure.

By the time we pulled apart I was in a bit of a daze really. Which is probably why I didn't notice it right away when she cuddled up in the blankets again.

"Good night, Yuki-chan."

"Yes, good night…Oh wait, that isn't right. Tsukasa-chan, it's time to wake up."

"I don wanna getup yet Onee-chan." She quietly whined.

"But I'm not… Didn't you say you wanted to make breakfast for everyone?"

"No…lunch tastes better anyway."

"Oh." She was being so silly, but it's very cute. "I was going to help you make it though."

"But you can't cook, Onee-chan."

"No, I'm Miyuki."

"We can't cook Yuki-chan!" Waking Tsukasa up is quite the chore…I wonder how Kagami-san does this every day.

I begin to shake her shoulder a bit. "Please, we should wake up now Tsukasa-chan."

"It doesn' matter how good she tastes… we can't cook her."

"Tsu…Tsukasa-chan! …You… You certainly cannot cook me!" I must have said that bit too loudly, because when I looked down at her she was not only awake, but also looking at me with eyes wider than I think I've ever seen hers be.

"Go…Good morning…Yuki-chan…" She seemed alarmed at first, but then she started smiling. "You're blushing again."

Of course I was, I couldn't help it. I was just so embarrassed. I looked away and tried to hide my face behind my hands. "We…well I…"

She got out of bed and yawned and stretched. "Well do you still want to help make breakfast?" she asked happily as she looked down at me, rubbing her eyes.

I agreed. We got changed, during which I was sure to stare intensely at the wall in attempt to avoid stealing glances of a half naked Tsukasa, and went downstairs. Although I offered to help, Tsukasa-chan still did most of the cooking. I mainly focused on setting the table.

I went upstairs to wake up Izumi-san and Kagami-san. I knocked on the door, but did not receive any answer. Assuming they were asleep, I went in to wake them up. Once inside I saw that Kagami-san's bed was empty. I kneeled down and moved aside Konata-san's blanket to wake her. Instead of the small otaku, I found a rather large amount of long purple hair. I blushed as I realized that Kagami-san was asleep on top of Izumi-san!

I backed up a few feet so I was closer to the door, then loudly coughed while slamming the door behind me. The couple was jolted out of their sleep.

"Go…Good morning… Tsukasa-cha… Tsukasa-san will have breakfast re… ready downstairs soon. So… So please come down and join us once you're both dressed." I stuttered out before quickly leaving the room.

"Wa…Wait Miyuki-san! It's not what you think!" Kagami-san suddenly yelled out after me.

"Meeeeh… Kagamiiiiiin, don't be so loud so early in the morning… I'm trying to- Woah, good morning world!" Izumi-san quickly responded, but I didn't stay longer to hear anymore. I returned downstairs to see that Tsukasa was almost finished preparing the food. She turned her head to look over and smile at me.

"Were they awake, Yuki-chan? It's almost ready." She happily chirped before returning her attention to the stove.

"Um… Well no they weren't. But I woke them, so they should be here shortly." I barely mumbled out as she started to move the food from the pan to the dishes. Soon the others joined us, Izumi-san smiling brightly and Kagami-san blushing like mad.

During breakfast they started a very lively explanation as to how Kagami-san fell off her bed in the middle of the night and ended up in Izumi-san's futon.

"So… So you see Miyuki-san when you went upstairs and saw us like that it's just because I fell over. And since Konata always stays up late gaming, she's a heavy sleeper and it didn't wake her up," Kagami-san nervously explained.

'Hey! Don't bring my gaming into this!" Izumi-san retaliated. "If anything, you're the heavy sleeper. What kind of person doesn't even notice when they've fallen out of bed! Even Tsukasa isn't heavy enough to do that!"

Speaking of which, Tsukasa-chan seemed very annoyed through their story. On a more positive note, the food was absolutely delicious. Tsukasa-chan has quite a talent. But once the meal was over she silently and quickly left the table.

"Hey, what's the matter with Tsukasa?" Konata asked.

"I… I'm not sure. Something must be bothering her. Did something happen last night Miyuki-san?" Kagami asked me. She seemed incredibly nervous at the thought of something being wrong with her dear sister. I felt incredibly guilty about it, but I wasn't sure if I should tell them the reason without discussing it with Tsukasa first.

"I'm afraid I'm not sure, Kagami-san. But, I will go speak with her. Would you two mind taking care of the dishes?"

"Oh… Um yeah, no problem," Kagami-san agreed, but seemed very uneasy about it.

"Yeah, just leave it to us Miyuki!" Izumi-san cheered while giving Kagami-san a reassuring pat on the back. I nervously smiled at them and followed Tsukasa upstairs.

I walked in, and was about to start folding the blanket and putting the futon away when I heard the door slam behind me.

"Yuki-chan! What is the matter with those two!"

"Wh-what? My you really are upset with them."

"Of course I am! I mean… It was bad enough that they were keeping it from us, but why would they waste time making up stories like that?"

"We…well…"

"Onee-chan would never fall off the bed like that!"

"Ye…yes but…"

"And how does anyone fall off a bed with their pillow?"

"Tsu… Tsukasa-chan…"

"And to say she ended up under the blanket because Kona-chan was having a weird dream about-"

"Tsukasa-chan!" She looked at me with a very shocked expression, but only for a moment.

"Sorry Yuki-chan…"

"No, that's all right. But, if you're so upset about it, does that mean that you'd… uh… want to… tell them?"

"Tell them?" She actually seemed confused but after looking at me for a while she understood. "Oh about…" She blushed and smiled, but then she remembered the question and frowned. "I'm not sure… I don't like keeping it from them, but…" She balled her fists and stared angrily at the floor. "I'm just so angry with them for keeping it for so long… I guess I just want to… I want to give them a taste of their own medicine!"

"Oh…well… that's a bit… To be honest, I'd rather tell them. Kagami-san seems very nervous that you're upset about something." I wasn't comfortable with the idea, but when I saw her giving that puppy dog look again. I wasn't sure what she had in mind exactly, but I couldn't bring myself to say no. "But, if you really don't want them to know yet, then I won't tell them."

She quickly hugged me and kissed me on the cheek. "Thank you so much, Yuki-chan. I knew you'd understand." Then she kissed me again. "I love that about you." And then she did it again.

Before I even realized what we were doing, she was holding me down against the bed. Normally I would panic much more, but my mind had gone blank. Eventually she moved her lips from mind and moved down to kiss my neck again.

"Tsu…ah Tsukasa-chan, we shouldn't… The other two…" I could feel her giggling into the kiss.

"I locked the door when we came in."

"What!" She planned it from the start!

"I'm sorry… I guess I just got excited…"

"But the others will be coming up as soon as they finish the dishes, and we still need to put the futon away."

"I…I know that… But I don't know when we'll get a chance to be alone together again!" I smiled at her and ran my fingers through her short hair.

"We spend a good amount of time with each other, I'm sure we'll have a chance to be alone together again soon. But we said we would take things a bit more slowly didn't we?"

She pouted a bit as she replied, "Well…yeaaaaaah." I hugged her close and kissed her on the cheek just before she got up. I gathered my things and helped her put the futon and away.

Before we went to check on Kagami-san and Izumi-san, she grabbed me in a hug from behind. "Since we'll be with Onee-chan and Kona-chan later… Can I at least give you a kiss goodbye?"

My face warmed at the adorable thought. I turned around to return her hug and kiss her softly on the lips once more. As our faces drew apart, she gripped my sleeves to keep the embrace just a bit longer. "Thank you… Yuki-chan." She looked up at me smiling, and then went to join the others.

AN: Hey, sorry this update took so long. I really wasn't expecting this story to get much attention, especially since I have the M rating on it and haven't gotten to the M material yet. And somehow I've gotten a bunch of positive reviews, so thank you all for the support. I'll try to update more frequently.
