Well, I figured it's about time I update on this story XD

Chapter 6: Cat and Mouse

Rena could've sworn she had heard someone call her name, but when she looked around, no one was anywhere near her. She gave one last glance, before continuing her walk in the opposite direction.

"Rena!" she stopped again. She recognized that voice,

"...Mii-chan...?" she walked over towards a bush, where the voice had come from. Mion slowly appeared from behind the shrub, and looked around frantically,

"...You haven't seen Shion around, have you?" she asked, causing the other girl slight confusion.

"Umm...No, I don't believe so." the red head replied, "...May I ask why your hiding behind a bush though?"

"I'm hiding from Shion..." the green head answered with no hesitation. Rena thought for a moment, before exclaiming,

"Oh! Are Mii-chan and Shii-chan playing hide-and-seek?! That's so kawaii!" she clasped her hands together, dancing in place a bit.

"No, Rena..." Mion interrupted her friend, "It most defiantly is NOT 'kawaii.'"

"Huh? Why not?"

"Because..." Mion started, "Because..." she faded out, and looked to the side blushing a bit, "...Just because. Twin stuff, you know?" Rena could see her friend's discomfort, so she decided not to question it any further.

"Hey, Rena?" Mion asked, "Would you mind, if I could perhaps go with you to your house for a bit?" The red head smiled,

"Of course!"

"Here's your tea." Rena said happily, handing the cup over Mion.

"Thank you." the green haired girl smiled, accpeting the beverage. Rena stared at her friend, before asking,

"...Mii-chan? ...Is there something going on between you and Shii-chan?" Mion had to stop herself from choking on her tea. She looked at her friend, and tried to play it off,

"Eh? What? I-Huh-What-What would give you that idea?!" she tried to calmly take a sip of her drink, not making eye contact. However, it was obvious her hand was shaking.

"Mii-chan," Rena explained, "you don't have to be embarrassed. If something's bothering you, you can talk to me. You're my best friend, and I really care about you. So, know that you can talk to me." Mion set the cup down, staring into the liquid,

"...Rena," she started, "You're my best friend too, but...I'm just not comfortable with talking about such a thing...At...At least not yet..."

"I understand." the red head said, completely sincere. After a long silence, they went to talk about entirely different matters.

After about an hour, the doorbell rung.

"I got it!" Rena's father yelled towards the girls from the other room.

"I wonder who's here?" Rena questioned.

"Probably just someone for your dad or something." Mion lifted her cup to her mouth, taking a sip.

"Girls!" Rena's father called, "Shion's here!" Tea went spewing out of Mion's mouth upon hearing that name.

"...RENA!" she yelled in a whisper, "Please! Oh, please! Help me get out of here! NOW!" Rena looked around for another way out, knowing her friend didn't want to be seen by the new guest in the house. Her eyes settled on the back door. Mion shot up,

"Thank you!" and hurried towards the exit. She tried to open it quietly, but Shion entered the room,

"Onee!" the older twin exclaimed, upon seeing her sister.

'Well, there goes sneaking out!' Mion thought, shoving the door wide open, and breaking into a sprint. Shion ran after her. As she passed by Rena, she quickly said,

"Hi, Rena! Bye!" and followed the previous girl out the door.

'...Oh yeah.' Rena thought, calmly sipping her tea, 'There's definitely something going on between them.'

0000

Mion refused to slow down, once she knew she was being followed.

"Onee!" she heard Shion call from behind her.

'Just get in public!' she thought, speeding up, 'Get in public, and she won't do anything...' she pondered on that, before panicking, 'GAH! But what if she DOES still do something, even in public?! That would be even worse!' She glanced back, to see her twin gaining on her, 'Ah! She's getting even closer now! What do I do?! Do I go in public, and risk my chances, or just stop now?! I don't know what to do anymore!' She decided to just stop behind a tree, panting 'Maybe if I'm lucky, she didn't see me stop here, and will just keep running-'

"Tired already, Onee?" she was pulled out of her thoughts, "Surprisingly, you don't seem to have much stamina." Shion teased, despite panting a bit herself. The younger twin sighed,

"...What do you want, Shion? Since you chased me all this way..."

"Is it too much to just want to see you?" Shion pouted. However, she quickly smirked, "But I see you're the one who stopped at such a convenient location..." The younger girl looked at her, puzzled. Without warning, Shion pushed her up against the tree, hands by both sides of her head. Mion blushed bright red,

'Why the hell did I stop HERE of all places?!' she screamed in her head. Shion moved her head closer, causing the other girl to tense up more than she already was.

"Ah-umm-I-I-" she was cut off by soft lips connecting with hers. Shion's arms moved down, and wrapped around Mion's waist, pulling her closer. The younger girl's hands shot up, gripping the other's shoulders, out of both panic and surprise. At first, she attempted to push Shion away, but slowly relaxed. Slowly, very slowly, she let her arms fall back down to her sides. Her eyes were half closed, as the kiss continued. She felt like she had to do something, but just felt so confused. However, as Shion didn't break away, Mion very timidly, returned the kiss.

'...I don't know what I'm doing...' she thought, 'I just...don't know what to think anymore...'

As Shion finally broke the kiss, Mion wasn't sure if she had notice her kissing back or not. The older twin didn't say anything about it, so she assumed she didn't.

'It's probably better that way...' the younger girl thought in the back of her mind. Shion let her go, and stepped back. She smiled sweetly before saying,

"You know, Onee. When I was chasing you, and we both got tired and started panting...I wouldn't mind doing that again..." she grabbed Mion's chin, causing the girl to blush, "But I'd much rather do it in my bed."

As Keiichi rode down the road on his bike, he could've sworn he heard the sound of someone being slapped. Hard.

Way to ruin the mood, Shion XD And, awww, Mion's kind of, slowly, somewhat accepting Shion's feelings and returning them XD And Rena and Mion friendship :) This was my first chapter that wasn't just mainly Mion and Shion for once XD (an actual storyline shall now start to develop) Well, please review letting me know what you think ^_^
