Infinite Stratos IS Yuri

(Edited One and Two)

"You know, I'm kind of confused about how often my classmates change their dorm rooms," Ichika Orimura noted as he and several friends were having lunch in the cafeteria of the academy, "Why is that?"

Cecilia Alcott blinked and exchanged glances with Houki. "You don't know?" she asked, confused.

"He's a little dense about these things," Houki Shinonono noted with a sigh.

"What things?" Ichika protested.

Cecelia pointed to where two girls were sitting, staring into each others eyes while little sparkles and roses danced around them. "What do you see?" she asked.

Ichika looked, confused. "Two girls who are friends?" he replied questioningly.

"Ack," Houki sighed.

"Ichika, you know about all girl schools, right?" Cecilia tried.

Ichika looked impatient, "What? They have lots of girls?"

Cecilia ran a hand across her face while Houki groaned. "I knew you were kind of clueless about relationships, but this is a BIT much," Houki noted.

"I think I better get going," Ichika got up and headed off, walking right be the couple still looking adoringly at each other.

"Maybe if I lend him my Strawberry Panic set it might get through to him," Cecilia suggested a bit wearily.

Houki gave her a odd look, "You own Strawberry Panic?"

Cecilia blushed faintly, "It was part of my cultural training for coming to Japan."

"Right," Houki drawled sarcastically.

Notes: One of the things that always bugged me about Infinite Stratos was the total lack of yuri in a all girls's school. It occurred to me that since Ichika is our POV character and he is notoriously blind to love, he might ALSO not be seeing the yuri going on.

Two: Sex Ed

Chifuyu Orimura strode to the front of the class, as several girls sighed dreamilly and called out endearments. "Settle down," she ordered, the attractive black haired woman filling out her suit nicely.

The crowd of girls looked at her adoringly, and Chifuyu sighed. Why did SHE get all the yuri fangirls? Admittedly she WAS tall, dark and bishonen, but still... Maya had better boobs. Some of the other teachers were classier too.

"Today's lecture if officially Sex Ed," Chifuyu started, then had to pause for the giggling to subside, "but it's really about the sexual realities of being an IS pilot." THAT got everyone's attention, she noted. Not that the girls had not been watching her anyway, but considering how many of them were buzzing with hormones and such...

"Miss Orimura, what do you mean by sexual realities?" one girl was brave enough to ask.

"Glad you asked," Chifuyu smiled slightly. "Ladies, unless you completely flunk out, you will end up controlling one of the most powerful weapons systems in the world."

There was a burst of chatter over that. "IS is only for sport though," another girl offered.

"The Alaska Treaty forbids their use as weapons," Chifuyu noted, "but treaties change." That shut up the babble as she continued, "So, you all are sexually mature. That means you want to be sexually active, but that also means you have options."

Chifuyu brought up a list on the screen beside her and highlighted the first option. "Simplest is abstinence. Basically, have no sex. Remembering my days as a teenager, I think that's very unlikely."

Some laughter from the students at that and she highlighted option two. "Mastrubation or self love," Chifuyu continued, "is probably your best option at this point in your lives. It's relatively safe, hygenic and you won't get diseases. Or pregnant."

"Uhm, some of us don't... uhm..." one of the shier girls stammered.

Chifuyu smiled wryly, "There are a variety of books you can find in the school library." She coughed, "And several quality back massagers available in the school shop." Several of the girls looked VERY intrigued by that piece of news, and she expected there to be a run on the shop later that day.

"Now, next up is heterosexual sex," Chifuyu said, "and it's one I would not recommend."

"Because you like girls?" one girl called out hopefully.

"No, because this is the one most likely to mess up your career as a IS pilot," Chifuyu continued calmly. That got everyone's attention as she continued, "First of all, you run the risk of STDs. Second would be pregnancy. And both conditions could sideline you as a IS pilot."

Chifuyu changed the image behind her to a human body. "The IS system relies on updated data on the user's body. Pregnancy would almost automatically end your career as a IS pilot."

"Are you implying someone could deliberately try to get you pregnant to eliminate you?" one of the girls asked, stunned.

"I was in the competitions, and was a champion," Chifuyu noted, "and there were teams desperate to win at any cost." Mentally she added, 'Including kidnapping.' Aloud she continued, "So yes, I could see someone trying that."

There was a uncomfortable murmur in the crowd. Chifuyu continued, "Now, some of you are no doubt aware that my brother has recently joined this academy. However, he's not really a option as there are already five girls chasing him. Your chances are, frankly, slim."

A disappointed sigh followed as Chifuyu thought, 'Besides, I'm not giving him up without a fight.'

With that Chifuyu brought up the last option, 'Lesbianism.' Aloud she said, "While I would expect your parents would get upset, I would also recommend this option. It's safe, clean, and unlikely to get you in trouble."

"Oooh," a murmur from the class.

"The school store carries safe sex information and accessories," Chifuyu added, "and NO, I will not be doing any live demonstrations."

The entire class pouted, "Awwww!"

Noting the time Chifuyu sighed in relief. "Class dismissed," she said, collecting her papers and leaving.

Back in the staff room, her assistant looked up as Chifuyu entered. "How did it go?" Maya Yamada asked gently.

"Horrible," Chifuyu shuddered, "Why do you always ask ME to do that?"

Maya shrugged, "Gives the girls in class a thrill?"

Chifuyu just glared at that.

To be continued...

Notes: Yes, I'm implying the girls at the academy fool around. A lot. Which, frankly, I don't think is unreasonable.
