[Summary: Late at night, Fuuka decides to return Rise's affection.
The chapter's title is just a joke on the navigators' various messages, hehe.
I am not that confident in my femslash skills but here goes!]
Rise Kujikawa. That was the name of the copper-haired girl. The pop idol 'Risette'? W-well, she was certainly very beautiful in person, Fuuka admitted, and very spunky and lively in her interactions with her friends, so it was very believable.
Kujikawa's friends, after everything that had happened today, had decided they would all stay together at the Amagi Inn.
The Amagi Inn. Conveniently, where Mitsuru had decided her team would stay as well.
Lying awake in her floor futon that night, Fuuka toyed with her Evoker. Maybe... Maybe... she could repay Kujikawa the favor from earlier...
Fuuka slipped out of her futon as quietly as she could, Evoker in hand. She couldn't summon Juno right here—Mitsuru, Aigis, and Labrys were sharing the same room, and she'd definitely wake them.
She sighed. She might wake Mitsuru, anyway, even summoning in a different room. The woman was quite sensitive to it. Well, if she was caught, she could probably come up with an excuse. 'I would feel safer if I scanned for Shadows,' or something.
She found an unoccupied room a few doors down, put her Evoker to her head and summoned Juno. Yes, actually, she could sense a Shadow drawing her attention like a beacon—Teddie. Fuuka was glad for him since his presence made it easier for her to find the new group of Persona users.
Ah, yes, there she was... Rise Kujikawa. Through Juno's eyes, the world looked different—she could see in the dark, but colors showed up somewhat muted and often distorted, like through a gauzy filter. Fuuka could see the idol sleeping and could sense that she was exhausted. Fuuka felt guilty... She should draw back, let the girl rest. The events of the day had drained everyone. Fuuka, too, was tired, but most of that was from traveling here on such short notice at Mitsuru's request. She hadn't been fighting Shadows or watching her best friends forced to fight each other nearly to the death like Kujikawa had.
The idol's eyes opened and Fuuka jumped and dismissed Juno, severing the connection.
How embarrassing... She'd almost been caught. Well, actually, Fuuka had planned to try and please the girl somehow, so of course she'd get caught, but...
She sighed to herself. She should leave the girl alone, let her get a good night's rest so she could enjoy the rest of Golden Week with her friends. She hid the Evoker in the folds of her yukata and began to tiptoe back to the room.
"Fuuka-chan?"
Fuuka squealed, jumped, and whirled around. She put a hand to her pounding heart. Kujikawa was right in front of her in the hallway, wearing a yukata that was very loose on her, like she'd just thrown it on as an afterthought. "Oh... Kujikawa-san..."
The idol grinned at her in the moonlight trickling through the window. "Come on," she said. She grabbed Fuuka's hand. Fuuka couldn't resist; she let herself be led downstairs and to the room that served as antechamber to... the hot springs? It was the changing room.
The girl let go of her hand, and Fuuka stared at where it had been. "Umm, Kujikawa-san..."
"Just call me Rise! Come on, the hot springs are the best under the moonlight."
"Y-yeah?" Fuuka said cautiously.
Rise stepped in front of her and kissed her. Fuuka's eyes widened in surprise. "Yeah," Rise promised, releasing her and stepping away.
Fuuka brought her fingers to her mouth. Rise's lips had left behind a lingering taste of raspberry.
While she watched, Rise unashamedly shrugged off her yukata, dropping it into a basket. Rise then turned a critical eye on Fuuka, waiting for her to do the same. She ran her fingers down her own naked body teasingly for a moment before picking up a bath towel and tying it around herself. Then she opened the sliding door to the hot springs and strode outside, leaving Fuuka behind.
Fuuka could back out, now. Or she could... She was still carrying her Evoker. Her original plans didn't need to be canceled.
Fuuka summoned Juno, a jolt of power rushing through her. It was difficult to summon a Persona here in the real world. Fuuka hoped she could keep Juno out long enough for this. She quickly scanned outside the changing room and found that Rise hadn't entered the water yet; she was sitting on a stool and cleaning herself to prepare for the bath. She was doing it rather slowly. Fuuka sensed that the idol hoped she would join her soon.
She instructed Juno to caress Rise's mind. The idol immediately jumped—she hadn't been expecting that at all. She sensed Rise's alarm, but it faded quickly as she figured out that it was Fuuka's Persona. A burning curiosity replaced it. How was a Persona being used in the real world?
Before Rise could re-enter the changing room and get to the bottom of this, Fuuka had her Persona touch her again, trailing from her face to her chin to between her breasts, then around one of the breasts like she was cupping it. Rise lifted her head back in response, whispering her name to the warm summer air.
Could you... mentally kiss someone through a Persona? Fuuka tried. It didn't quite work, but Rise was licking her lips hungrily afterward. Fuuka then combined the actions, caressing and licking and stroking the girl's body and enjoying her reaction.
Rise spread her legs on the stool with a lusty sigh. Fuuka took it as an invitation to explore the new territory. The idol was wet already, and it wasn't just because she'd been washing. Rise murmured her name again and implored her not to be shy, to keep going.
With push after push, Rise was rocking against her, barely able to stay on the stool. Eventually she gave up and ended up on the ground, hugging it to stabilize herself as Fuuka rubbed her faster with her mind. She kept at it until the idol moaned, gasping and convulsing against the stool.
Fuuka allowed Juno to fade out of existence. She shed her yukata, placed it in a basket, hiding her Evoker under it, then put on a bath towel and went outside.
Rise was still at the stool, looking at her with heavy but satisfied eyes. "Fuuka-chan, how did you...?"
"I'll tell you later," Fuuka teased. She sat at the stool and took the sponge from the basin and began to wash Rise. It was different touching her in-person. The warmth and softness of her skin was lost in Persona contact.
When Fuuka started to wash herself, Rise took over. "Allow me," she whispered into Fuuka's ear, making her blush—fortunately it probably couldn't be seen in the moonlight. "Into the water," she said when she was done.
They sat across from each other in the water, enjoying the relaxing warmth of the hot springs for several long moments.
"Fuuka-chan," Rise murmured. "Are you lonely?"
"U-umm," said Fuuka, startled by the sudden question. "N-not really. I have my friends. Mitsuru-san and Akihiko-san and Aigis-san."
"I meant," Rise said. The idol leaned forward until her nose was brushing through the hair around Fuuka's ear. Her hand was now on Fuuka's thigh. "Lonely in this way..."
Fuuka blushed again as the girl's breath warmed her ear and neck.
"You haven't had a lover in a while, hmm?" Rise whispered.
"Y-yeah," Fuuka admitted.
Rise gently pushed one of her long braids out of the way and kissed her. "Don't be so shy," Rise said when she drew back from the kiss. "Relax! You saved us today, you know."
"It must've been frightening for you, Rise-san," Fuuka said. "Being trapped with that General Teddie."
"I want to do something nice for you," Rise murmured. "You saved me, and..."
Rise's fingers were inching up Fuuka's thigh. Fuuka's face was heating up, possibly hotter than the water they were sitting in. "Y-you already did," Fuuka said. "In the TV. With your Persona."
"Something more personal than that," Rise said. Her hand cupped the area between Fuuka's legs, and there was no mistaking her meaning. "How about it?"
Fuuka trembled in the water, and then she nodded.
With a triumphant grin, Rise slid her fingers there, pressing in, teasing. Rise kissed her, too, and her other hand was trailing hot water up her back. Under her ministrations, Fuuka began to relax. If Rise wanted to reward her like this, why should she complain?
Besides, the idol was very good at this!
Fuuka leaned back and moved her legs apart some to give the girl better access to her body. Rise's tongue darted across her lips until they parted, and while they kissed, Rise's fingers continued to tease her, making her twitch and gasp and eventually break the kiss.
"What, Fuuka-chan?" Rise murmured against her cheek.
"Rise-san..." Fuuka whispered back, suppressing a gasp, because the girl hadn't stopped moving those fingers.
"Be more assertive, Fuuka-chan," Rise told her. "If you know what you want, reach out and take it!"
"I want..." Fuuka breathed. Rise verbalized a sound that encouraged her to go on. Fuuka shivered despite the heat from the hot water. "I want... j-just keep doing that!"
She laughed, a giddy little laugh.
Rise laughed too and began to rub her a little more aggressively. In an attempt to be more assertive herself, Fuuka squeezed one of Rise's breasts and was rewarded with the girl crying her name in a scandalized tone.
Fuuka kissed her, and Rise moved her lips against hers, and then Fuuka felt Rise's free hand squeezing her backside, and that made her dizzy. "Rise-chan," she whimpered.
Her back arched, and her legs tried to spread further. She bit down on Rise's lower lip, mostly on accident, but Rise sure seemed to like it by the sound she made—and then she gasped as the pleasure spread through her body.
Catching her breath after that, Fuuka pulled Rise's hand away and then gave the idol a gentler kiss. "Th-thank you," she said. "That was... nice."
Rise's smile was coy, and she fluttered her eyelashes. "Risette knows how to please."
They remained in the water for a bit, holding hands between them, and then Rise helped her out and took her back to the washing station. After cleaning up, they returned to the antechamber. Rise helped her put her yukata on, and while tying the obi, she pulled Fuuka into a hug from behind.
"Rise...?" Fuuka asked when she wouldn't let go.
"I don't want to go back to bed yet," Rise murmured. "Walk with me?"
To answer, Fuuka took her hand and squeezed it.
Hand in hand, they headed outside and slowly walked the inn's garden path, enjoying each others' company under the moonlight.
