Chapter 7: Sorry for the long wait (Whoever is still reading) BUT I have student government, working out, and also Senior year (including applying to college) to do =/. I always think about writing though. =) Well, I could say there will be a surprise this chapter, and also that I've started work on a few other fics =D… Enjoy!

My night with Shiori, was filled with a lot of care, almost no lust, and much thinking … Of Shiori, and of Mai. I tried not to think about the Indigo haired woman, but I couldn't help it. As happy as I was with Shiori, Mai had already made a home for herself in my heart. Hopefully, with time I will get over her, and move on completely. As I continued to wage war with my mind, Shiori slept peacefully between my legs and arms, her light snoring was adorable, and calming. I stared at both of her wrists, and it looked like the left had the worst of the cuts, she is going to bare these scars, which I take responsibility for, for the rest of her life. Lightly, I raised both of her wrists, and landed a kiss on each, then one on her cheek, I then lifted myself up, and with my arms free, I picked Shiori up and set her on her bed. Covering her body with the comforter, I flattened it a bit more than I needed to, and ended up having my hands only one layer of covers over Shiori's chest. Quickly, I lifted my hands and felt a major blush as Shiori's soft voice caught my attention.

"Yuuichi Aizawa, I love you with all of my heart." Shiori's eyes stayed shut, I'm guessing she was still ½ way asleep.

"Shiori…. I…. L…" It felt as if I ate a ton of cement, my mouth stopped listening to my mind, the words I tried saying would not come out

"Its okay" and Shiori smiled as she said this, "You don't have to say it back right now, but you owe me something later."

"Okay." Feeling a blush spread across my face, I walked towards the window, spinning my head around to get one last glimpse of Shiori before I left, I smiled, knowing someone loves you, feels really nice. I turned back to the ladder, and Slowly stepped down, foot by foot, slowly I made my way down the ladder. Thinking no one would mind the ladder, I left it where it was, and began walking home. My heart felt light for a moment, and I felt there was something wrong; Shiori seemed to confess her feelings for me so easily, and I… choked. Did I Love Shiori? I definitely cared a lot about her. Could I forget about Mai? Now that I take in everything that this night has brought me, I can only come to one conclusion; Woman have conquered my life. Walking down the rode I had walked up earlier this morning, everything seemed so beautiful, yet so… I don't know what the word is.

CUT! Now the surprise is, We are going inside the mind of Mai.

Day: Friday night. Time: 10:15 PM (About 2 hours after Yuuichi spoke with Mai, and ran off after Shiori). Place: Moonlit hallway of The school.

He's gone. She won. My Yuuichi will become involved with that girl. I lost my only chance at true happiness… When I told him to go after that girl. I'm sure now, more than ever, that Yuuichi is still the person I love most. So why? Why didn't I tell him? That girl's face, looked so filled with pain, and I was sure of it; She was in love with Yuuichi as well.

Maybe if I continued to act like a girlfriend to Sayuri, and a Good friend to Yuuichi, maybe I would be ok. As I sit in this hallway, in the exact same spot Yuuichi left me in, this vial hallway, with its big windows displaying the moonlight, and the way it reflects off the classroom doors, and off the pearl white floor tiles. I let the hollow feeling of losing my first love, consume me. My bones felt week, and I crumbled onto the floor. Screaming, like I had never screamed before, I feel the face become soaked with tears. Why? Why did that girl have to fall in Love with Yuuichi? Why did Yuuichi seem to care about her? Wasn't I the one Yuuichi said he had loved, and that I was his reason for being here? Why am I blaming anyone but myself, I should have told Yuuichi it was him I wanted to be with. I could envision his face, His sweet smile, Beautiful chocolate colored hair and eyes. Yuuichi's peach skin tone always looked so beautiful around this snowy area.

"Mai-Chan?" A voice that belonged to someone whom I couldn't possible forget, rang in my ears. "Mai-Chan what's wrong?" The urgency in Sayuri's voice was apparent as I heard her footsteps grow closer. Her hands felt warm against my arm as she helped sit me up. The only other person in this world besides Yuuichi, who truly understands me, My body started to feel over taken by warmth. Not sure what I was thinking, or what I felt at all, I crushed my lips against Sayuri's, unlike our previous intimacy sessions, I didn't feel any love, what I was feeling was purely lust.

Breaking away from me, Sayuri looked as though she had been attacked. "Mai-chan what are you doing"

"I want more of you." I slowly muttered before pushing Sayuri down with a bit of force, and again crashing my lips down on to hers. Keeping her hands pinned together was no issue for me, Sayuri really wasn't the athletic type. As I moved my lips in a fast rhythm, Sayuri matched me, and I forced my tongue into Sayuri's mouth. I traveled every bit of her mouth, and tasted every corner. Not long into my travels, Sayuri's tongue began to fight back, and while our tongues danced my fingers worked their way slowly down her neck, To their destination of her chest. Feeling the firm roundness of Sayuri's bosoms my hands began too caress them slowly, a shot of ecstasy ran through her body as she arched her back, and our kiss deepened.

Catching me off guard, Sayuri broke free of my hold on her arms, and flipped me on to my back, so that she was on top. Smiling, She grabbed on my bosoms, with were slightly bigger than hers, and began to caress them. Slowly, the lust that was brewing inside me took hold, I wrapped my arms around Sayuri's neck, and brought her into a very deep kiss. Slowly, she began rocking her hips in a very rhythmical way. When it felt like we were entwined by the kiss, I removed my hands from around her neck, and started moving up Sayuri's legs, and towards her womanhood.

"Mai-Chan" Sayuri moaned into the kiss. Much to my dissatisfaction, She built up some strength, and pushed me off of her.

Without thinking I spoke in a voice only Sayuri would hear. "But… I love you." trying to move onto to Sayuri again, but I was rejected.

"Mai-chan, what happened hear? I heard you screaming from all the way down stairs, and when I walked up the stairs, I found you on the floor, crying, and screaming, and then you decide to get really intimate with me, when the fact is we had never gone past kissing, and you started crying…" Slowly I brought my hand up to my face, and sure enough, I was crying.

"You didn't like…this?" For the first time since Sayuri had come here, I really looked at her. She looked slightly scared, a little turned on, and god… this moonlit hallway kind of made her skin beautiful. Her golden locks, peachy skin, and very light brown eyes all looked especially beautiful in this light. The curves of her body looked as though they craved attention, or was it I who was craving the attention?

"I won't lie, It took a lot, I almost didn't stop you, but this isn't the place where we should do such things, and I'm sure I wasn't the only one who noticed there was no love in those actions, and if we did something like that, I really would like it if each touch was filled with love." that was an inevitable fact, seeing as I hadn't even looked at Sayuri properly, I would say that was pure sexual desire.

This was terrible, thinking back on what I just did… and tried to do, was this out of the feeling of Yuuichi being pulled away? This time, the tears fell on their own. Warm and streaming, the tears came down, and I sat in regret. Without a word, I was pulled into a hug. "Don't cry, it's ok Mai-chan. I did like it, and I definitely want to do this again, I only request that it's at my house, and that next time we are intimate, it is love-filled.

Its weird how not too long ago, I swore I would protect Sayuri, and here I was trying to relieve what ever stress I had on her. Hanging my head, I just mumbled "I'm sorry Sayuri."

Surprising me again Sayuri picked my head up, and kissed me. This time however, the heat I received was different, and I indeed felt love flowing through her lips. Just like that, Sayuri had pulled away, a kiss for reassurance I figure. "I love you Mai-chan even though you don't talk nearly as much as I, and you keep to yourself, the things you do say to me, they mean so much. The things you do for me, they are such caring gestures, and I just want to say, thank you."

"Sayuri, I love you too." I didn't lie, but how much? If it wasn't for the fact that I felt so lonely without Yuuichi, I probably wouldn't have made my advance onto Sayuri. How bad of a person was I, how selfish could a person get? "I want you to be happy."

Either side of Sayuri's lips pulled up into a smile, and her almond colored eyes shone along with the moon. I felt loved, for a long time I haven't felt this loved. Sayuri and I had talked, and we had kissed, but in this instant, with her moonlit skin, beautiful gold locks, deep brown eyes, and very caring smile, I had felt more loved than she could ever tell me I was. This however, could only make me feel worse, both Sayuri and Yuuichi wouldn't like me very much if they knew what I was keeping from them, and what I tried keeping from myself.

"Hold me." was all I could say with the lump in my throat. What I would have really liked was for her to wrap her arms around me and tell me everything would be fine. If I couldn't have my prince charming, I at least wanted to settle for a normal relationship, where things felt nice, but nowhere near what it could be providing I had my prince. Maybe now would be the right time to let at least Sayuri know what was to be, in the near future.

"Sayuri, after we grad-" Hearing the glass shatter, My instincts kicked in, immediately making me jump to my feet, my sword clutched tightly in my hands, I positioned myself in front of Sayuri, ready for battle. Seeing the area in a distorted view, I realized that the monsters who had once terrorized me, harmed Sayuri and I, and also caused Yuuichi problems, were back. Why?

Cut! I'm really sorry I haven't posted in a while. I really hope you enjoyed this chapter, I wish I could have decided on A different writing style for Mai. I would like it if I got tips on that. I thought the make out scene should be there, as it was like she wanted to feel the love she was deprived of, also Sayuri isn't as much of an angel as everyone thought huh?. I think its apparent that the next chapter will be the battle between Mai and her monster/s… That however will not be the whole chapter. Take it easy until my next chapter…

Tk.

Ps.

I'm going to try to write a chapter by the end of this week and have it up. I also plan on having a new chapter for "Makoto Returns" by the end of the week. I started a fic that includes Yuuichi in the world of True Tears. Its YuuichiXNoe, Also I started writing one of the Star Ocean 4 world - EdgeXMeracle. Lastly.. I had the idea to start a HinateXNaruto fic.. Just letting anyone who reads these fics… that I haven't been slacking, just been busy .
