Chapter 8

Haruki was talking a walk near their building and she stopped at a park where there were still kids playing. "This sure bring many memories back..." Haruki thought with a nostalgic smile. "I really envy those kids. I wish I just could play all day like them without a worry in my mind. But... It's all gone cold now. Growing up sucks" It was true that Haruki hadn't been in deep thought about her family problems and it was thanks to Isuke. The girl knew how to play with her and she was beautiful too, so that was a terrible combination for Haruki. Yes, Sagae Haruki had a little crush on the girl. But she didn't have time for thinking about love... She needed to get good grades and keep her full scholarship. Even if she wanted to kiss and rip the other girl's clothes really bad.

Isuke was still confused at the weird reaction of Haruki. Their neighbours had stopped having sex a long time ago and now there was just silence in the room. Silence that was filled with the thousands thoughts that were running through Isuke's mind. Why did Haruki walked away was one, followed by why the hell it felt so good that massage. "I am used to having massages and from real massagists. This doesn't make any sense". Isuke went to Haruki's bed and laid on it. "It really smells like her". Haruki's smell was all over Isuke now, and she started to feel her arousal all over her body starting from her core. Isuke's imagination ran wild and bit her lip as she descended her own hand from her breasts to her center. She held her eyes shut tight as her fingers started to tease her own nub, which had started to grown since her images were filled with Haruki. "This isn't good.." Isuke was imaginating how Haruki's lips would feel against her neck. How it would feel to have Haruki's lips against her own. How it would feel to remove that smirk off Haruki's face for a pleading expression. Oh, just how much she wanted her. Isuke's finger were rubbing her clit hard, no teasing and no waiting. Her panting grew and tried to muffled her panting with Haruki's pillow. Two fingers entered her center as she moaned loudly. She started to pump her core hard, as if her fingers weren't hers. As if those fingers that were inside her were Haruki's.

-Nnghh.. H-aaruki~- Her hips started to adjust to her own rythym, increasing the friction and the pumps. Isuke's center started to ask for liberation, like it was surrending to the hard pumps that she was giving herself. She kept moving her hips at the same time as her fingers pumped her core. In her imagination, Haruki's head was between her tights with a fiery look as she licked hard her center and introduced deep and deliciously hard her tongue. And Isuke came undone in Haruki's bed.

-Ahnn... This is no bueno-

Haruki was coming back to her room after spending all of the afternoon in the park, watching the kids playing. After a while, the kids invited her to join their play and she accepted gleefully. She felt like she was with her brothers and sisters playing again so in the end, the day hadn't end up being so bad. Now she just had to deal with Isuke and her questions about what happened to her, or maybe the girl decided to let it go and don't ask anything. She entered the building and found an orange-headed girl with a pensative look on her face. She was sitting in the sofa of the lobby and was watching at the nothingness.

-Hey, you okay? - Haruki's voice startled the other girl, who looked over Haruki and smiled with majestuous.

-I'm okay, I'm waiting for someone -Blue eyes fixed her piercing look on Haruki, and the other started to feel pretty uncomfortable with such a piercing look. -Are you Isuke's roommate? -

-Uh.. Yes. How did you know? -Haruki asked frowning.

-I just guessed... Let's just say that you don't inspire the rich aura that everybody does around here- Replied the girl getting up from the sofa. She invited Haruki to join her on the sofa and introduced herself.- My name is Hanabusa Sumireko, it's a pleasure to meet you-

-Heh, who am I kidding? I don't usually meet pretty ladies like ya'. Name's Sagae Haruki and the pleasure is all mine- The girl's name sounded familiar to Haruki, but she decided to let it go and put her charm on.

-You really are something special if you can live together with Isuke-

-Huh? And why's that? I mean, I know that she got a bad temper and that she's kind of... -

-Slutty?- Finished Sumireko for Haruki, who just chuckled.

-Yeah, kind of... But that's part of her charm-

-Sorry, I don't see anything good in her... We're rivals -

-Wait. WAIT. You said... Hanabusa right? I knew that name was familiar somehow... Well, at least your moans- Sumireko blushed hard but tried to recompose herself. -I guess that you're waiting for the girl or boy who made you scream like that this afternoon, right? -

-Uhm... As a matter of fact, yes. I am waiting for Banba, my roommate and recent lover- She declared openly and proudly.

-Oh, cool. Wait, lovers? With your roommate? Wow, I envy you -

-HEY SUMIREKO, WHO YOU TALKIN' WITH? -In that moment a grey-headed girl appeared in front of them with a wicked smile plastered on her face. The girl went over Sumireko, leaned on her and started making out with the girl. Haruki stood there awkwardly, asking herself if she had to go away or something. -She's mine. Only mine, y'hear me?- The girl wrapped her arms around Sumireko and showed her middle finger to Haruki.

-No worries here, she's beautiful and all but not really my type – The girl had a weird and creepy smirk on her face, but she actually had charm. Or something like that. Haruki excused herself and went to her room.

-It was a pleasure talking to you, maybe we could talk in another time? - Asked Sumireko before Haruki was out of sight. Haruki thumbed up and threw a cheeky grin to the girl.

Haruki entered her room. It was dark and the windows were open, so it was pretty cold. She didn't turned on the lights and went over the windows to close them. She ran her hand through her hair and undid her hair rubber with a fast movement, freeing her long red-hair. She looked over her bed and found Isuke sleeping deeply. Haruki chuckled at the other girl's childish behavior. She approached her bed and knelt down.

- Since when you are the one who causes the trouble, huh? Geez, you are the real troublemaker here- Haruki breathed as she lightly stroke Isuke's hair. She lifted the girl cautiosly, trying not to wake the girl who just mumbled something intelligible at the sudden change of position. The girl had her brows furrowed and a child expression on her face, as if someone was punishing her for stealing some cookies. She was even pouting. -Heh, you really can be cute when you're not acting like a bitch- Haruki's eyes scanned Isuke's body before she got Isuke in her bed. It would be so easy to just give in to her craves... But she couldn't do that. She couldn't risk the fact of losing her scholarship. She needed the studies for her family and that was all. Haruki left Isuke in her bed and planted a night-kiss on the girl's forehead, making her smile lightly. Haruki needed to close herself again, she needed to regain her composure. She needed to get rid of what she felt towards Isuke.

The next day Isuke woke up with the beeping of her alarm clock and looked confused: didn't she fall asleep on Haruki's bed? What was she doing in her bed? She looked over the other bed and found Haruki asleep. "Maybe I just... dreamed it?" Isuke touched her panties which were sticky from her previous night and sighed heavily. "Nope, not a dream. Ugh, I need to shower and change".

After a good bath and a change of clothes, Isuke was ready to leave for school. Haruki, on the other side, was acting slow and as if she didn't care for anything. She didn't even care about her hair or her clothes. On their way to school Isuke tried to make a lightly chat with the red-headed girl who just nodded or shook her head in disagreement, but nothing more. She didn't even tried to piss Isuke off. "What the hell is wrong with her? She's acting really weird since yesterday and nothing happened! I mean, it's not like she did something wrong" Isuke was starting to get pissed off by the attitude of the other girl, who had her mind on other side. Just when Isuke was about to yell at the other girl for her weird attitude, Hitsugi showed up excitedly and said good morning, earning a "'sup" from Haruki and a weak good morning from Isuke. The pink-haired girl decided to let it go and talk later with her roommate. She and Hitsugi kept talking about their homework and about what they were going to do in the weekend.

-Isuke-chan! I really need your help with something. And yours too, Haruki – Isuke looked curious at the little girl while Haruki snapped out of her trance at hearing her name. -But you gotta promise me that you won't laugh!-

-I can't promise anything with the last part, but I guess I can help a little cute thing like you -

-Well... You know that I'm kind of close with... Chitaru-san and... Well. Geez, I'm so nervous- Histugi covered her face with her hands as she blushed hard. "Uhm, what's goin' on? Does Chitaru have a giant penis or something? What the hell is making her so nervous?!" Thought Isuke as she looked perplexed at the reactions of Hitsugi. -CHITARU ASKED ME OUT! -

-Well, that turned out better than my thoughts. -"Congratulations girl!" Thought Isuke. -Wait, no. That wasn't what I mean. Ugh, I messed up my thought with what I was saying- Histugi raised an eyebrow, not understanding a thing Isuke was saying. - I meant: Congratulations girl! -

-Thank you Isuke-chan! I wanted to ask you... Uhm.. What should I wear for my date? You know, since you are so stylish and stuff-

-Sure, ask the playgirl to help you – Intervined Haruki with venom on her words. -Sorry, I can't help you with that Hitsugi. I'm going to search some club activities to do in the afternoon... - Haruki didn't say anything, but she didn't like the idea of Chitaru going near Hitsugi, she didn't know why but an over protectiveness feeling grow on her towards the little girl.

-It's okay, Haruki! Isuke will help me – Haruki smiled weakly and kept looking to the distance, lost in deep thoughts.

-You can come over to my room this afternoon, okay? We'll have the room to ourselves!~ -

The afternoon came by and Haruki found herself walking around the school, not wanting to go to her room where Isuke and Hitsugi would be trying to make Hitsugi look slutty for her first date with Chitaru. "Geez, what the hell is wrong with those two?" But no, the one that had a problem was her and she realised it. She wasn't her usual self since the previous night and she knew it. Everything seemed darker for her now. She was forcing herself to shut her feelings in and with that, she was shutting a part of her. "The real problem is me here. The girls are just excited for Hitsugi's first date... I should apologize to Hitsugi for not helping her". But still, she didn't like the idea of Chitaru and Hitsugi together. Not one bit. She went to the track-team and spotted their leader: Azuma Tokaku. She neared her and tapped her shoulder.

-Hey, can I train with you today? - Asked Haruki with a forced grin.

-You look like shit – Replied Tokaku. Let's just say that Tokaku isn't a really sensitive person. -But yes, If you can keep up with the team, go ahead -

-That won't be a problem captain-

Tokaku gathered up all of her team and started giving the instructions for the training. She presented Haruki as "Someone who needed to run to burn stress. Just like a dog chasing cars" The members looked confused at each others, but they were used at the sarcasm of their captain. Everyone stood up and started the warm up, which consisted on 10 laps on the field. Once the warm up was finished some of the members were already sweating a lot, while others just had a thin layer of sweat. Haruki was one of those. Tokaku looked kind of impressed at the girl, who kept a constant rythym and speed all of the warm up. Now it was time for the speed so they would make a quick 100 meters race. Four of the members were timing the race times. There were 4 races in all, the first one with the most inexperienced members of the track-team, the second one with the mid experienced members, the third with the oldest members and the fourth with the fastest of the other races. Haruki tried on the most inexperienced members, being the fastest of them so she ended in the fourth race too where Tokaku was participating. Obviously, Tokaku was the fastest but was followed pretty close by Haruki and another track-team member.

-You sure you don't wanna join? -Asked one of the members to Haruki, who was cleaning the sweat of her forehead with a towel.

-Nah, just like your captain said: I'm like a dog. I just need to chase some cars once a while- Winked Haruki at the other girl. She went over the fountain to drink some water but something caught her eye. Namate Chitaru was approaching the field with another girl, who seemed really friendly with her. Haruki growled. She knew that The Prince would only lead to trouble. Love always meant trouble. And she was about to have a little friendly exchange with the Prince.
