CHAPTER 82. OMAKE HAIR SHORT STORY

RYOMA'S HAIR SHORT STORY

We all know Ryoma favored having short hair. Short hair and tennis are a super great combinaison. Otherwise, long hair is a real bothersome for playing tennis. However, after her marriage, Ryoma let her hair grow.

"Why?" Might you wonder.

The answer? One word.

"Syuusuke."

"How?" Might you wonder again.

"See down here," is my reply.

So here is Ryoma's long hair short story.

It must be an after effect of the loooooong absence that Syuusuke had developed for being far away from Ryoma for too much time. After being sure that Ryoma was engaged to him—and that she stayed that way—, Syuusuke returned back to the United-Kingdom to get his degrees. However, he also had to advance in his academic course for his future career. Since Syuusuke didn't like the idea to be separated for much longer time away from Ryoma, he speed up by two the process to get a master's, then his doctoral and hurried back to Japan. Having a fiancée (unwillingly) waiting for you was for sure a strong motivation.

Him back to Japan, Ryoma was happy. But at the same time, she was damn right annoyed by him. Syuusuke became wayyyyyy tooo much more annoying than he was before his loooong absence.

Here why.

Ever since he was back, Syuusuke just loved to have her with him. By his side. Next to him. Beside him. Glued to him. Despite how many times Ryoma remind his that she too liked to have a personal space, Syuusuke kept ignoring it and kept invading said space.

"It's been so long and I missed you so much!" he used to retort (whim).

But more annoying than having her personal space invaded, it that Syuusuke kept remind Ryoma that she... lacked in height.

Twitch! A read vein popped on Ryoma's forehead.

For a reason Ryoma cannot explain, while she had her father's eyes, she didn't have his height. She didn't even have her mother's height. Instead, she had her grandmother's height. Who was shorter than her mother by a head.

Twitch! Twitch! Ryoma twitched at the implication underneath.

Ryoma wondered if her father's height genes really hated her because they refused to deliver out their code, keeping it locked and unexpressed, well hided somewhere in her (messed up) DNA chains. And her mother's height genes must be asleep, slacking on its job. Her grandmother' s gene had to cover up her father's resentful gene and her mother's lazy gene. Thus, Ryoma was doomed that she that cannot grow any taller for the rest of her life. The milk regime her previous data-maniac-senpai Inui Sadaharu only helped gained a couple of inches to reach her mother's head level ("Why not some feet more?" Ryoma whined), but she could only reach Syuusuke's shoulders. And Syuusuke loved it because her petiteness made her fit marvelously well on his lap.

"What's the link with the long hair?" You might wonder.

"Continue reading and see," I tell you.

So, Syuusuke loved to invade her personal space. Loved to have her on his lap. And loved to remind her of her... lack of height.

Twitch! Twitch! Twitch!

All things that annoyed Ryoma immensely. But what annoyed Ryoma above everything and everything was that Syuusuke became rather... touchy ever since her returned back to Japan. He kept grop-... err, touching her everywhere and every times he had a chance. Which he had a lot. Because he cheated on Fate to increase the number of chances in his favor, despite the limited number of chances one person is allowed to have in one life time cycle. He gave explanation for his touchiness as her gaining some curves during the years he was away and missed her changes, so he was making up to them. His first favorite activity after his returning was to discover every thing about Ryoma... and her no-longer-a-teenager-but-now-a-young-adult body... with his hands.

"You're just being a pervert. Simply admit it. AND DO SOMETHING TO STOP IT!" Ryoma admonished. But a mischievous hand sliding up toward her... left upper body part immediately stopped her screaming.

"Eeeeep!" Ryoma froze in his arms, dread that he continued any further because they were in a public place.

"Huhuhuhu," he chuckled in her neck, his warm breath sending freezing chills down her spine.

Thanks Heaven, Ryoma find a way to cool down his (perverted) ardour.

Her hair.

Yes, her hair.

Her hair was Heaven send rescue from Syuusuke's perv-... touchiness!

She once noticed that when he played with her hair (which he also often do), he was much more subdue in his... explorations of her being. Syuusuke liked to run his fingers through her hairs, marveling at their softness. However, since her hair were short, he couldn't run very far his hand for a very long time. So he ran his hands somewhere else. South direction. Down there... Down there!

Ryoma tried something. She first experimented to let her hair grow a little bit more length to see if they can keep Syuusuke's hands up there for a longer time.

They did. His hands stayed longer in her hair (and less on the other parts of her body). Ryoma let her hair grow extra length down her back!

"Why?" Miyabi once asked her, very pleased with the change. With long hair, Ryoma looked very much like a young lady, and a very pretty young lady.

"I rather have his hands in my hair than on some other parts of my body," Ryoma had retorted, making Ryoga spurted in his coffee and Nanjirou grinned stupidly. However, Rinko and Nanako found the thing very amusing. They giggled! Much to Ryoma's dismay.

"How about Syuusuke? What does he think about that? Does he know the reason of Ryoma's change of hair?" you asked me.

"What do you think?" I asked you back.

Well duh!

Of course (I insited) he was aware of her scheme.

How can he not be aware of it?

In case you have forgotten (which it seems to be), let me remind you.

His name is Fuji Syuusuke.

Fuji Syuusuke.

THE one and only ONE Fuji Syuusuke.

A tensai!

Tensai (and sadist) extraordinaire.

Does tensai (and sadist) ring(s) any bells to you?

Of course he would know about Ryoma's true motivation!

Duh!

Syuusuke knew very well why Ryoma let her hair grow. But he just played along with her game.

"Why would he do that?" you asked.

Syuusuke smirked at the question, but wouldn't answer you. Which left me.

"Why me?" I asked him. "It's about you, so answer to them!"

"Huhuhu!" he answered.

*sigh* That answer basically meant he won't be answering with words, but only with his annoying incessant chuckling. So, here you're back to me. Much to my dismay. *sight*

So here's the answer.

"Because he found a weak spot behind Ryoma's head, just below her cerebellum, on the left side."

Ryoma was surprisingly sensible at this particular spot. With only one slight pressure on that spot, Ryoma completely subdue to any of his touchs. All her defenses shut down, leaving her completely relax, like a mass of melting goo. Syuusuke took that opportunity to pull her against his chest, which she leaned on without professing any protest. And he kept massaging non stop that spot to keep her relaxed against him.

After a nice massaging session on under her cerebellum left side spot, Ryoma showed less resistance when he want to... explore more her body... in the privacy of their bedroom. So, Syuusuke often played in her hair to take advantage of that weak spot to have her completely subdue to his... seduction session on her during being during night time. He was also aware that she loved it when he touched her on that spot because he made her feel good, though she would never openly admitted it.

So, Ryoma kept thinking that her long hair would kept Syuusuke more sober in his courting on her. She just didn't know that Syuusuke let her believe so because it served his... hidden 'ardourous' advantages.
