Chapter seven: a night on the town

After their bath Shizuma decided to escort Nagisa back to her dorm to get dressed. They walked together down the corridor and stopped outside Nagisa's door. Shizuma turned to Nagisa an uncertain expression on her face. "Are you sure you don't want to wear one of my small dresses?"

"Yes I am sure" Nagisa eyed Shizuma's reluctance to let her go into her dorm alone "what is wrong? Why can't I go and get dressed?"

"You know why Nagisa" Shizuma stressed. "Tamao-chan would do anything to get into your knickers, and as far as I am concerned anything inside your knickers belongs to me!"

Nagisa giggled and pulled the taller girl against her "I will be alright, my love, and if she touches me I'll do what you told me to do; scream"

"I love it when you scream my name" Shizuma purred lowering her lips to Nagisa's neck.

"Maybe I'll do that later"

"Later? What's going to happen later?"

"I want to show you how much I love you"

"Mmm" Shizuma pressed a kiss to Nagisa's lips "I'll be looking forward to it"

"Okay, can I go and get changed now?" Nagisa teased.

Shizuma pretended to think for a moment before reaching around and squeezing Nagisa's arse earning a squeak from the younger girl. "Go on then"

"I'll meet you downstairs in twenty minutes"

"See you there"

Nagisa walked into her dorm and stopped almost inside the door. Tamao-chan sat on her bed staring at the wall above Nagisa's bed with a glassy expression. Nagisa nudged the door shut. At the soft click of the closing door Tamao looked up. "Oh, Nagisa-chan, you're back early"

"It's my dorm too"

"I know but … you more or less moved in with Etoilé-sama so …"

"So what?"

Tamao sighed, "I don't know"

Nagisa eyed her dorm mate before moving towards her wardrobe. She ran each garment along the iron rail until she had found the one she was looking for. A simple sexy dark red strapless dress that hugged her body with a lopsided cut at the bottom. She was about to undress and then remembered that Tamao was still in the room. Nagisa draped her dress over her arm and went into the bathroom and made sure to lock the door behind her. She shrugged off her pyjamas and rinsed her face with cool water. She quickly changed into her dress and slipped into red high heels. She clasped her clutch bag against her thigh and unlocked the bathroom door. Her cherry flavoured lip-gloss glimmered in the light. "I wonder what Shizuma will be wearing," she murmured as she ran a brush through her hair.

Shizuma waited patiently in the reception of the strawberry dorms. She had dressed herself in a tight fitting glittery black dress that reached down to her knees. It highlighted her luminous skin and shiny silvery-white hair. Her black stiletto heels made her twice as much taller than she already was. A soft clicking of heels from the staircase made her look up. "Nagisa?"

"No it's just me" Miyuki came to stand next to Shizuma "I stopped in on Nagisa, she's nearly ready"

"Okay" they began to talk lightly until another set of heels echoed down the staircase. Both girls' looked up. Shizuma smiled. "Good evening Nagisa"

Nagisa smiled up at Shizuma "good evening Shizuma"

"I'll leave you guys to it" Miyuki smiled at them and watched them leave outside the doors.

Shizuma took Nagisa's hand and led her towards her car. She opened the passenger door for Nagisa to climb in. "Thank you dear" Nagisa smiled as Shizuma nudged the door shut and walked around the back of her car to climb into the drivers seat. Shizuma clicked her door shut and started the car engine. They pulled out of the school's parking lot and drove away. Nagisa looked over at the gorgeous woman that was her lover. She smiled. She remained staring at Shizuma dreamily all through dinner. After desert Shizuma finally turned her head to find Nagisa staring at her dreamily.

"I didn't know I was that beautiful Nagisa" Shizuma teased. "you've been staring at me all evening"

Nagisa blushed and giggled, "you are, incredibly beautiful, and I feel so lucky to have you"

"And why is that?" Nagisa looked down at her lap. "Nagisa?"

"I transferred to the strawberry dorms after my aunt died. She wanted me to come here. So I did. My parents are abroad and I have no one. Then I fell in love with the Etoilé at my new school. I had never felt that way before. But she was troubled; she had her own dark past. But eventually we were able to pull through all the hard times and decided to stay together no matter what. And now … uh …" Nagisa drew in a deep breath and let it out. She stood up from her chair causing Shizuma to frown. She rummaged around in her clutch bag and drew out a small black box and knelt down beside Shizuma's chair.

"Nagisa" Shizuma breathed as Nagisa took her hands in her own.

"Shizuma-sama … will you marry me?"

Shizuma's breath caught in her throat. Her eyes brimmed with happy tears. She fell to her knees in front of Nagisa, cupped her cheeks and smothered her lips with her own. "Yes, Nagisa, yes, yes, yes, a thousand times yes!"

Nagisa slipped the ring on Shizuma's finger and wiped Shizuma's tear stained cheeks. "You've made me so happy"

"You've made me happier!" a moment of sweet silence passed before they stood up "let's go for a walk" Shizuma took hold of Nagisa's hand as they walked along the road, under the twinkling stars towards their car. Nagisa smiled as Shizuma examined her ring.

"Do you like it?"

Shizuma tore her gaze away from the silver ring encrusted with a single emerald "I love it!"

"Let's get back to the dorms"

"Mood-killer" Shizuma pouted.

"Sorry" Nagisa wrapped an arm around Shizuma's waist and hugged her closer "but you know Sister closes the door at quarter to twelve, plus I did promise you that memorable evening"

"Why yes, you did"

"Now come on then, after all I can't drive"

"I wouldn't let you anyway, you'd crash it"

"Thanks for the vote of confidence"

"Any time" Shizuma squeezed Nagisa's arse as they walked into the parking lot.

Miyuki was once again doing her last minute rounds. Along the second floor corridor she caught sight of someone sneaking towards Shizuma's bedroom but it wasn't Shizuma or Nagisa. It was Tamao. Miyuki felt her blood boil. "Tamao-chan what do you think you are doing?"

Tamao froze as Miyuki's cold voice rang through the still air. She turned looking guiltily up at Miyuki. "I … I …"

"Tamao-chan you have to stop with this obsession!"

"I can't! I love Nagisa-chan!"

"No you don't! It's an obsession! Nothing more!"

"How can you say that?"

"Easily" Miyuki snapped, "Shizuma loves Nagisa. Nagisa loves Shizuma. You gave Nagisa your blessing and now you're going back on it!"

"I…"

"What kind of friend would do that?"

"I … I…"

"Get in your dorm and stay there!!!" Tamao-chan hung her head guiltily as she returned to the sanctuary of her dorm.

She slid down the door her face in her hands and she wept. "No one understands"

She was knocked forwards as someone opened her doors. She turned on her back so that she could see whom it was. It was Miyuki. She raised her eyebrows. She was about to ask what was wrong, when Miyuki slapped her across the face and straddled her hips and pinned her wrists to the floor above her head. "You're not going anywhere"

"What makes you think you can stop me?"

Bad move. Miyuki grinned evilly and ripped Tamao's nightdress from her body. Tamao watched with wide eyes as Miyuki lowered her head and began to bite at Tamao's thigh. Her breathing increased to heavy rasps as she began to squirm with fright. "Mi … Mi … Miyuki-sama!!!"

SMACK!!!

"Who told you to speak?" Miyuki spat.

Tamao whimpered beneath her "w-what are you d-doing?"

"Punishing you"

"W-why?"

"I will not stand by and watch as you try to destroy Shizuma's happiness again"

"A-again?"

"Yes. The Etoilé elections and now this, I'm warning you one. Last. Time. Leave Shizuma and Nagisa alone or else you will have me to deal with"

"B-but-" Tamao was cut-off as Miyuki's hand grasped her throat tightly, making her gasp roughly for breath, her arms and legs thrashing weakly beneath Miyuki's firm weight.

"I said 'leave them along'. I have me eyes on you Suzumi-chan, mark my words I'll hurt you twice as much if you interfere again"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The door burst open crashing into the opposite wall as Shizuma walked into her room, latched to Nagisa's cherry flavoured lips. She tangled her fingers within Nagisa's sleek auburn hair as Nagisa tightened her legs around Shizuma's waist. Shizuma wrapped an arm tightly around Nagisa's thighs as she manoeuvred them towards her bed. Shizuma fell backwards onto the bed, Nagisa landing on top of her. "Oh Nagisa I love your lips"

"I thought you would, I wore it for you"

"Mmm cherry my favourite" Shizuma purred. Nagisa giggled as she leant down and pressed her lips to the pulse point on Shizuma's neck. They rocked their hips together.

"Oh Shizuma you have the body of a goddess"

"Then worship it" Shizuma panted her chest heaving. Nagisa did not need telling twice. She slid off Shizuma's sleek black dress and teased her tongue around Shizuma's erect nipple. Shizuma arched her back into Nagisa's touch as Nagisa stroked her hand up the inside of Shizuma's thigh. Nagisa slid further down the bed, bundling Shizuma's dress over her waist and smiling.

"Nice thong Shizuma"

"Like you're complaining"

"True" Nagisa smirked as she fingered the thong down Shizuma's broad hips and pressed kisses up her thighs. She rubbed at Shizuma's clit earning a deep gasp from her lips.

"Nagisa!" Shizuma's hand tangled deeply within Nagisa's hair and urged her tongue forwards so that Nagisa was licking hungrily at Shizuma's dripping entrance. She pulled away and sucked her fingers. Shizuma leant up and frowned at the lack of contact from her lover. When she saw what Nagisa was doing, however, she smiled and thrust her hips forward.

"Demanding, love?"

"Yes! Very!" Nagisa rolled her eyes with a smile as she stroked her fingers over Shizuma's entrance, teasing her to a vicious orgasm. "Na-Na-Nagisa-a-a-a-a!!!" Nagisa pierced into Shizuma's tight entrance and felt her hot muscles contract around her wet fingers. She felt another orgasm ripple through Shizuma's stomach and couldn't help but give a satisfied smile. She licked her tongue inside Shizuma and pressed a kiss to her clit. Shizuma was sweating profusely as Nagisa slid up her damp body, pressing kisses as she slid up to Shizuma's neck. Shizuma wrapped her arms around Nagisa's neck, sealing their lips together in a passionate kiss.

"I love you, Shizuma-sama"

"I love you too, Nagisa-chan" without another word they snuggled into one another's embrace, pressing small kisses to one another's damp bodies.
