The sun was setting.
I sat on the edge of the fountain next to my crush, Kurumi, while staring at the dying oranges of the sun. The lamps of the park flickered into existence, barely illuminating anything as the sun overwhelmed their light. The staircase in front of us wasn't steep, but it represented the journey I took to come this far.
Today was the day I would tell her my feelings.
Kurumi…she is the love of my life. We may be young and in high school, sharing most of our classes, but I know for sure that I want to be with her for the rest of my life. Her long black hair, her large onyx eyes, her soft, cherry red lips…I want all of it to be mine. I want all of it to be mine not because of her beauty, but because of my unrequited love for her.
"Kazu…what did you bring me out here for? I know we were sent home early today because of the explosion in the school, but…it's kinda late." I swallowed the lump that had formed in my throat, turning to stare into her shining eyes. My eyes traced the edge of her pale face instead, following every deviation in her skin, every blemish and pore, and everything that made her…well, her.
"Kurumi, the truth is…I have loved you for a long time." Her pale cheeks flushed red in an instant as she looked away, staring at the dying sunset. "The events that occurred today have confirmed my feelings for you. Either of us could have died and it made me realise that, if I want to live, I should live without any regrets." She smiled faintly, the corners of her lips curling up as she turned back to face me.
"Kazu, I…I'm sorry, but I…"
"It's okay. You don't need to say anymore. I understand. I just wanted to tell you so I could get this feeling out of my chest." I pushed myself to my feet as I looked away, beginning to make my painful journey home as the tears began to drown my eyes with their sorrow.
I was living without any regrets, but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt.
"W-wait, Kazu!" I felt a hand grab my own, forcing me to stop as I began to leave that wretched fountain, the place where my feelings had been crushed by the only girl I have ever loved. I twisted my torso to face her, the tears blurring my vision as they threatened to spill out onto my cheeks, and I opened my mouth to say something, anything, but nothing came out. "I…I can't accept your feelings right now, but I can in the future. When we graduate at the end of the year, I want you to ask me again. I will definitely accept then. I promise. Because I've realised that I also love you." I sniffled and rubbed the tears away with my free hand, turning to embrace my one and only love…
"Wait, you can't be satisfied with that crappy ending, can you!? You idiots!" All of a sudden, a hideous creature descended from a nearby tree. With the face of a leopard, the wings of a griffin and the body of a small girl, the hideous creature jumped between Kurumi and I and pushed us away from each other.
"W-what the…?" I shouted as I stumbled back towards the fountain, my eyes wider than they've ever been in my life. "What the hell are you?"
The thing turned toward me and offered me a grin of some kind, its hands on its hips as a boisterous laugh echoed throughout the park, "I am Sitri, and I am here to make the two of you love each other indefinitely! I am the granter of romantic, lewd and mostly sexy wishes!"
"Huh? What does that even mean?" Kurumi asked, slowly shimmying around Sitri towards me.
"Well, firstly, you guys love each other, right?" I slowly nod as did Kurumi, our eyes making contact for a brief moment. As Sitri turned to face Kurumi, I raised a hand and motioned to the stairs, shoving a thumb in their direction while mouthing the sentence, 'I think we should get away from this creep.'
She didn't respond, opting to glance at the stairs in what I assumed was a response, intently watching Sitri as she did so, "Yes…I think so." Kurumi said slowly, edging closer towards the staircase at a speed that was similar to a turtle's.
"Then, shouldn't you guys get naked and make love to each other?" Kurumi's face became red in an instant as did mine, Kurumi's mouth opening and closing in an effort to mutter a response.
"W-what kind of hooligan would do such a thing in public?" She finally managed to squeak out, her hands now covering her face as she quietly groaned in embarrassment. Sitri, on the other hand, was giggling to herself, as she suddenly spun to face me.
I hadn't moved at all because I was closest to the stairs, but I suddenly found myself with no way to run without being completely obvious. "You there!" I pointed at myself and she nod, her index finger aimed at me. "Do really love this girl!?"
"Yes!" I answered quickly, hoping that Sitri would turn around or disappear. Although I loved Kurumi, I didn't love her enough to want to die for her because some weird leopard-human-griffin thing was being creepy.
"Then I need to go! My mission here is done!" Sitri disappeared as quickly as she had come, leaving Kurumi and I alone once more.
Kurumi's face was still red, showing that she was extremely embarrassed, and it showed no signs of returning to its original colour, "I-it's kind of hot all of a sudden, isn't it?" She asked me, slowly pulling her arms out of the sleeves of her blazer. I furrowed my brow in response, noting that Kurumi was sweating and shook my head, still trying to comprehend what had just happened.
"No, it's not. Are you okay, Kurumi? That Sitri thing didn't do anything to you, did they?" Kurumi dropped her blazer on the floor and released a sharp exhale of air.
"No, they didn't. They didn't touch me. But it's kinda hot...I'm feeling kind of hot…and kind of bothered." Kurumi strode over to me and, as she was a head shorter than me, grabbed me by my tie and pulled my head down to her level. "Say…should we do it?" It was my face's turn to become completely red.
"W-what are you saying all of a sudden? Just before, didn't you say that doing it in public was something a hooligan would do?" Kurumi laughed, her voice a sweet melody to my ears as I felt my body temperature rising.
"Do you really care?" I felt her lips touch mine as she forcefully kissed me, sticking her tongue into the deepest recesses of my mouth as she seemed to quiver under my touch. Her tongue retreated moments later, her lips disconnecting from mine as she gasped for air.
"I…I don't think I care anymore." I whispered as I buried my head into her neck, gracing her smooth skin with the touch of my lips. She moaned, gripping a handful of my hair as I continued to kiss her on the neck, my lips slowly travelling up her body.
"So…do you wanna do it?" I glanced up into Kurumi's eyes and noticed how she was biting her lip, my cheeks heating up as I was suddenly overcome with emotion.
"Let's do it. Definitely." Kurumi stepped back as she began to unbutton her shirt. Her breasts weren't small or large, they were just right for me and, as she slid her shirt off of her body with a shrug of her shoulders, revealing her black bra that was laced with white, I couldn't help but get excited.
"Oh…Kazu, you seem to be…" I swallowed a lump of saliva and chuckled as I stepped close to Kurumi, fiddling with the zipper of her skirt as I lowered my head to kiss the side of one of her breasts. She moaned, helping me with the zipper of her skirt, and moaned again as her skirt fell to the floor.
I grasped one of her breasts, lightly squeezing it through her bra, and wrapped my arms around her, failing to unhook the clasp. "Wait…I want you to see me as I do it." Kurumi moaned in my ear, stepping back a moment later as I intently waited for her to reveal her two, luscious lumps of flesh.
Her hands reached up her back, her hands swiftly going through some motions, until she shrugged her shoulders forward, the straps of her bra falling down her arms. And as she was about to completely take it off…
"Damn kids!" A police officer came out of nowhere and was running towards us! Kurumi snatched her clothes up with one hand, holding them against her chest to protect her modesty, and allowed me to grab her hand as I began to run, leading her out of the park!
"Dammit, and we were just getting into it…" Kurumi muttered as we entered the street, the police officer still chasing us.
"Nice job, Tsubaki!" Sitri shouted as she spun around in a circle, waving her arms around. Tsubaki, Sitri's Queen, watched on in embarrassment as her King acted like a complete idiot, a stark contrast to her other self that has become arrogant and ill-tempered through the misuse of her Sitri powers.
"President Sona…" Sitri shot Tsubaki a sharp glare, "Apologies. Sitri, may you remind me of why you do this?" Sitri stood still, wobbling from dizziness and disorientation, and held her hands on her hips, puffing her chest out with pride.
"I'll tell you once more, so you shouldn't forget it again, okay!?" Tsubaki hesitantly nodded and watched as Sitri walked circles around her, "I do this to achieve the ultimate goal of my ancestor! 'What is that goal?', you may be asking! Well, it's to create a schoolwide orgy, of course!"
There was a deafening silence in the clearing.
Tsubaki blinked owlishly.
Sitri grinned.
"E-excuse me…?" Sitri's jaw dropped.
"Huh!? You didn't get it the first time?" Tsubaki waved her hands in front of her face.
"No, I did! I did! But…why did you choose today and why do you want to create a…umm…" Tsubaki's face flushed red as she struggled to articulate the remainder of her message.
"Schoolwide orgy?" Tsubaki nod once as she quietly sighed, looking away in embarrassment as her King's behaviour and speech was undeniably atrocious. "It's to achieve the goal of my ancestor. He didn't specifically mention a schoolwide orgy in his ancient texts, but he wants to create the biggest orgy he possibly could! And I'm gonna fulfil that goal! As to why I chose today? People are afraid, Tsubaki, and want someone to comfort each other in their time of need! This is the perfect time for me to work and naturally make people unconditionally love each other!"
"So you do have a high level of intelligence in this form…" Tsubaki muttered to herself as Sitri ran up to her.
"Also, I'm counting on you to show everyone how to do it properly when the time comes!"
"Wait, I never knew I was included in this, you pervert!"
"But you have relatively large boobs!"
"That doesn't mean I know how to do it!"
"Gasp! Then you're a virgin, Tsubaki? Dammit, how could you betray my trust?"
"Hah!? How is this betraying your trust, you idiot? Just because I'm a Devil, it doesn't mean I have to whore myself off to every guy I see!"
"Yes it does! You just don't understand it, Tsubaki!"
"I don't understand it!? I take it back, you have absolutely no intelligence in this form!"
"I'm not stupid! You're stupid, Tsubaki, so go find some man to take your first time! Oh, I know! How about Issei Hyoudou!? He's pretty strong, so he'll show you how to have a good time! He'll pierce your body with his Sexcalibur and deliver his divine punishment with his holy water! Well, he's not actually an Angel or priest, but you get the idea!"
"You damn pervert!"
An unbelievably loud slap echoed throughout the entire park.
Just a little side story I came up with to explain Sona's situation. Well, I didn't exactly reveal all of her goals and motives and what's wrong with her. Just a little bit of what she wants to do…
Also, I am determined to release a legit chapter every one or two weeks on a Monday! If an update doesn't come out on the first week, expect it to come out the next! Although, I may release chapters earlier than intended, so please don't get mad if I do that. I also want to release more side stories along with the main story. They could be anything and may not be very long, just like this chapter that hasn't been paced very well.
A big thank you to my friend Hellsender for giving me the idea for this side story and Sona's ultimate goal!
