"W-who told you I had a boyfriend?"

"Aki-senpai of course! Your sister!" Rini said with a bit of cheerfulness and mischief in her voice. I started to think about the alibi I could use. I had to be very careful. I was skating on thin ice. Suddenly I realized something. I hadn't used birth control. My world seemed to crumble as I realized I had a chance of being pregnant with Sora's child. It seemed exciting that I would have that mark, but very scary that I had a chance of being a teenage mother. I was only sixteen. I had a sudden urge to feel my belly as I rubbed it wondering. It's not like I could go get a pregnancy test right now.

"Is something wrong, Aoi-chan?" Mari chimed in with concern.

"Erm...It's n-nothing. He's nothing. I m-made him up to...spknnnknknknkkknkknkkkknnknkkkknkark jealousy in Aki-née..."

"Oh! A little bit naughty have we been? I just hope that you knew the guy who you were screaming naughty things with! Heh heh!" Rini said with a hint of mischief.

"AKI-NÉE TOLD YOU ALL THAT!" I shouted. I hadn't realized that we were still on school grounds. Some people looked at me as though I were insane. I glanced back and forth then looked down. Surely I wouldn't be able to cover this up if they kept poking and prodding at me. They were my best friends, but I knew they couldn't know. They would surely get me punished for having sex with my little brother.

Those thoughts stung my insides as I remembered the feeling. It had been guilty lust. It may be very difficult to cover up. The two just exchanged glances. I was very worried and my foot began to shift nervously below me as I worried. I couldn't tell anyone. I knew that this was Sora and I not them. It wasn't my business to be telling them. I shifted my footing and let my hip rest on my arm.

"Who did you have sex with Aoi-chan?! Give us all the dirty details!" Rini smiled as she whispered so only us three could hear.

"Ehhh?! I-I told you I don't have a boyfriend!"

"Is it possible that little miss good girl had a successful masturbation?" Rini chuckled darkly.

"Hey leave Aoi-kun alone!" It was the voice of a male. I looked up and noticed him. He was a tall well built man with dark eyes. I felt threatened yet safe underneath his stance.

"No no it's fine erm...what's your name?"

"I am Minabunchi Kutaro. Are you Aoi Haru?"

"Yes."

"I am Mari's boyfriend..."

Mari nodded and looked at him lovingly. It was kind of shocking considering how built and buff he was. Mari was a short thin girl with short dark brown hair and light eyes. She is very pretty, but small. Rini was a little more curvy with larger breasts than Mari and long light brown hair. It was almost dirty blond. She had dark green eyes and a bit of a glint of mischief in her eyes. Mari was more defensive. I knew Kutaro, but just barely we hadn't met in person. Mari talked about him all the time.

I felt odd in his presence. He seemed to be pulling me closer, but my mind was shoving it away. The force wasn't my own it was his. He was trying to flirt with me. I squished my nose in disgust. He looked away instantly. If only he knew my internal battle going on in my head. Mari surely would not know of this. She hugged him from behind and I smiled. Rini rolled her eyes and I had to laugh. The truth was they weren't pressuring me, because they knew something they were having fun as my friends.

I needed to stop making such a big deal out of it. I forced myself to do so and turned around. "Well, I should head home now before Nami does something stupid to Sora..."

Mari giggled, "Well Rini is sleeping over at my place tonight. You are welcome to join at any point if you so chose...We are having a large meal tonight. I already told my mom that it wouldn't be unusual if you popped by as long as your mom is okay with it."

"Yeah and if Nami-chan doesn't kill Sora-kin before you get the chance to come over! Heh heh!" Rini giggled.

"You two are too much! Well, see ya tonight if I can make it..."

I ran home all these thoughts bubbling in my chest. I decided that on my way back home I would stop by and grab some pregnancy tests. I had a special place at my house to store them until I got back. I hid them swiftly and walked inside. Things weren't unusual. I did my homework then walked upstairs to see Sora cleaning my bedroom. It wasn't unusual. "Oh hey sorry Sora..."

"..."

"Well, I am going to spend the night at Mari-chan's with Rini-chan! Hope you don't mind! You can sleep in my bed if it's more comfortable."

"Okay, bye Haru-née..." Sora's usual spirit lacked. It was probably from last night and this morning that made him so quiet. He probably was just as confused and worried as I was. I got together my stuff and let Nami and Aki know where I was heading before I went over.

"Ooh! You've decided to come over so soon!"

"Yeah, I suppose it's not that big of a deal..." I shrugged it off as nothing to reduce the amount of questions.

"Well, if you need to go home early it's okay!" Rini winked teasingly. Mari elbowed her in her gut.

"It is okay if you need to go home it's not usual for you to spend the night over. My parents can be overwhelming sometimes too."

"Thanks Mari!"

I gathered my stuff and set it in Mari's room. She had two futons set out for us to lay on. Mari had a towel and her clothes set on her bed. Rini also had her clothes set out so I put mine out too.

"We are taking a bath together!"

And thus began my weirdest night ever.
