A/N: Alright, so here we go again! Chapter four of Sexual Tension! Be prepared for small smut in this chapter. Probably two more chapters, one being the lemon and then the epilogue. Do be aware of the fact that the next chapter is going to be set about a year after this chapter. So, now you know.

So, without further ado, let's go!

Disclaimer: I don't own When They Cry/Higurashi. Never have, never will. If I had, it would've been more of a cutesy romantic comedy with harem elements.

Chapter Four: The Beginning of a Relationship, and Shion's worry.

Keiichi and Mion both burst from the school, faces flushed. Despite the fact that they both now knew about each other's feelings, there was still the fact that they had MADE OUT IN FRONT OF THEIR FRIENDS! Granted, if it wasn't for that game, they might of never discovered the feelings that the other held for them respectively, but still.

'Damn it. I let my hormones take control! Even though Mion didn't react negatively to the kiss-which I'm glad she didn't, otherwise I'd be in a world of pain right now-but now she might think that I'm sort of sex-fiend or something!' Keiichi bemoaned in his head, thinking of the million and one ways he had just sabotaged the relationship that, in his mind, would now never happen.

Mion was having a similar thought pattern, albeit more hysterical.

'I didn't mean to get carried away! What if Keiichi thinks I'm some sort of easy slut? Damn you Shion! You just might have ruined my chance to be with the one I love!' Of course, for Mion, it was easy to blame Shion for everything. Granted that Shion usually WAS indeed somehow involved in most of Mion's problems, but that was besides the point (if you asked Shion, anyway).

They had put a good amount of distance between them and the school. They were by the fork in the road that they usually separated when they went home.

Of course, for the shy…well, not couple PER SE, but the two young teens, it seemed like they would just go to their respective houses, call it a night, relieve themselves, and act like nothing happened. And if somebody brought it up, they would hang them upside down from the ceiling or shove them off of a bridge or something like that.

That's when Keiichi got a bad feeling. With all of the strange happenings around Hinamizawa, what with Hanyu and the Oyashiro nonsense, he knew better than to ignore any bad feelings he had. Somewhere, deep down, he knew that if he and Mion separated right now, some sort of tragedy would happen. Only he could prevent this tragedy, and he'd be damned if they had to repeat June 1983 again.

Just as Mion turned to head towards her house, Keiichi spoke up.

"Hey…um, d-do you want me to…walkyouhome?" he asked hurriedly, sighing inwardly in relief that he'd been able to say it.

If you thought Mion was red before, she redefined the color red now. Stuttering over her words, she finally nodded quickly and walked, a bit faster than what was necessary, towards her destination.

They approached Mion's house in silence, neither one knowing exactly what to say. Mion hesitated, then turned to Keiichi.

"Would you like to…come inside and have some tea or something?" she asked timidly. Keiichi mulled it over, then nodded.

Mion quickly got the tea ready, and soon they were sitting in silence, looking everywhere but at each other. Keiichi quickly finished his tea. He sat down his cup a bit more forcibly than he meant to, causing Mion to jump. Keiichi looked at her, and sighed.

"Mion…I think we…need to talk."

Mion paled slightly; oh no, what was he going to say? That the kiss was an accident? That she was a bad kisser? That he actually already had a girlfriend and-

"Mion?" Keiichi's voice broke through her hysterical tirade.

"Y-yes? Sorry, what?" Mion stuttered.

Keiichi flushed. "Um…well, about that kiss…er, what…what do you think about it? I mean…was I…good?"

Mion stared. Then, she started laughing. She started laughing hard. She laughed so hard that she found herself quite unable to breath.

Keiichi could only look on in bewilderment, unsure exactly what was so funny. Eventually Mion calmed down.

"Oh Keiichi…you were…great," the blush intensified. "I can assure you that you are a great kisser."

Keiichi let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. "Whew…heh, well, thanks. You aren't…you're a good kisser, too."

Silence reigned again. Then, Keiichi spoke up again. "Um, Mion…do you…what do you think of me?"

Mion thought it over. "Well, you certainly are fun to be around. And it's fun to tease you." Keiichi rolled his eyes. Mion smiled. "And it's always worth a barrel of laughs whenever you're forced into a girly outfit." A vein appeared in Keiichi's forehead, causing Mion to laugh.

"I'm kidding, I'm kidding…well, you're a good man. You're reliable, and you always seem to be able to help any of us with any problem. And you aren't half bad looking, either." She finished, flushing at her forwardness.

Keiichi blushed. "T-Thanks…You aren't half bad yourself."

That damnable silence returned once more. Mion stood up.

"Want to take a walk?"

Keiichi considered the girl before him, and nodded.

Several minutes later, they found themselves not too far away from the house. They weren't exactly hidden, but you would miss them unless if you looked hard enough.

Sitting side-by-side, Keiichi and Mion looked up at the stars.

"You know, you can't see the stars in a bigger city. There's too many lights in the area. Out here…it's beautiful." Keiichi said, seemingly at random. Mion smiled.

"Of course, the stars don't have anything on you." Keiichi added, seemingly as an afterthought.

Mion looked at him. Could he mean…?

Keiichi returned the look. They caught each other's eyes.

Slowly, they leaned towards each other. Eyes closed, their lips met.

A fire erupted in both of them. Mion felt light; she was sure that she could now fly. Keiichi felt his heart beat faster with every passing second. So, this was what it was like to feel love…

Mion jolted slightly when she felt Keiichi's tongue enter her mouth, but quickly fought back with her own; arms wrapping around each other, they were locked in a passionate embrace as their tongues fought for dominance in their mouths.

Keiichi felt his hand drift upwards; he wasn't entirely sure himself what he was doing. It seemed that his mind was in a fog (a very pleasant fog at that), and his body was acting on its own.

Mion gasped slightly when Keiichi's hand grabbed her breast, sending a shock of pleasure throughout her body. Damn, she had really been missing out all of this time…Self pleasuring had nothing on this.

Their moment was ruined when they heard the door to Mion's house slam shut. Despite their urge to break apart, Mion just laid her head Keiichi's chest, arm around his neck, hand in his. They watched as a shadow moved throughout the house, obviously looking for something. Moments later, Shion burst out of the house, clearly in a panic. She grabbed her bike, and took off into the distance.

They both knew what-or rather, who, she was looking for. They grinned at each other, before making their way back to the house. Shion would eventually return home. And they would act as if they were there the whole time…

A/N: Hmm. I'm not too pleased with the ending. But it works. Anyway, I'll try to get chapter five up soon.

Until next time.
