Chapter 12
Spellbound“Looks like Reina got lucky.” Came a pleasantly soft voice from behind her
Risa had noticed the Princess presence for awhile though but only acknowledged with a brief look. She has a more important task on hand now. When she said she will be watching, she meant it.
Unable to get the brunette’s attention for the time being, Ai wrapped her arms around the slender waist and rested her head on her shoulder to watch the pair as well.
“Will I lose my puppy?” Risa finally speaks up. Ai could already imaging seeing that cute pout forming.
“Why don’t you think it as you might gain a kitten and we become in-laws?”
“I rather not. In-laws can’t get married, can they?” Risa smirked. Without looking, she was sure she got the shy girl blushing already.
Choosing not to reply, Ai just shrugged.
“Why don’t we leave the two cuties alone?”
“Am I cute?”
“Why do you always ask this kind of weird questions?”
“I think you’re cute.”
The Princess like always, chose to ignore her but this was what Risa actually finds cute about her. Ai just brings a whole new meaning of teasing to her.
AND not forgetting the arms around her waist now. Risa had this goofy grin plastered on her face and pumped her fist into the air internally when the girl held her from the back for the first time. Important information… she was not the one who initiated it.
“I’m going to the library” the girl released her hold reluctantly and walks away. RELUCTANTLY! Risa pumped her fist into the air but this time actually really doing it since Ai was not facing her anyway.
Taking one final looking at the still intimate pair, Risa jogs up to the raven beauty before taking her hand into hers.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Like the other time, upon reaching the library, the Princess leisurely walks over to the ladder but pulled her robe a little higher than needed to as she steps up the rung. Risa, of course did not miss the smirk the girl had, but this time she was not all stoned, admiring the girl.
As the girl climbs up the ladder, the brunette followed.
“What are you doing?” noticing the girl below her, Ai questioned.
“I’m getting a book too…I wouldn’t peek. I promise~” the girl threw her a cheeky wink.
The raven girl giggled before resuming her climb, which of course was followed closely behind by a certain brat.
When she was right at the top, the girl was a just a step lower than her. As she scans the row of books, she felt the girl circled her waist with one arm from behind while the other reaches out for a book that was right in front of her. That action had caused the whole of the girl front to be pressed up against her back and what drove her crazy was that hot breath on her nape.
She gasped as the sneaky girl nestled her face against the back of her neck while further tightening her hold on her waist, pretending to be leaning even closer to reach out for the book.
When the girl finally pulled out the book from the slot, Ai felt a smirk forming at her nape.
With a heavy thud, the book that Risa had, accidentally slipped from her hand and landed on the rung that Ai was on.
“Opps… Sorry…” the Princess shivered as the brunette girl breathes out the apology on her neck.
Ai pressed her lip into a thin line as she felt the teasing girl slipped her hand slightly into the slit of her robe, placing it on the side of her thigh. Together with her lip and body against her back, the seductress leisurely slides down the length of her body and leg, causing a soft whimper to escape. Stopping at her lower back, the girl lingered longer than needed to get the fallen book before sliding back up reluctantly and fondly placing a kiss at the nape of her neck.
“I’ve got your book.” With that simple sentence, Risa effortlessly led the half dazed girl down from the ladder.
Instead of the tables, the younger girl chose a more private spot at the back and sat under a window before gently pulling the older one to join her. It took Ai awhile to snap out of her current state to realize that the girl indeed had gotten the book she was looking for and even had it flipped open to where she had stopped at the day before.
Although it seems almost as though the girl had just casually picked the similar book for her from before but apparently, it actually discreetly hints that she was in fact was on the right track with her little research. Seriously, how the girl even manages to look into just about every single small detail was beyond her imagination. Leaning back comfortably into her personal warm couch, Ai started reading the book that was held open for her.
Ever so often, she will lightly tap one of her human book holder’s hands to get the page turned. After some time, she ends up just having a lazy hold on one of the girl’s wrist where simply a gentle rub with her thumb will be enough to get the job done instead.
Throughout, the brunette was just contented with merely observing the girl over her shoulder.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As for the two cuties, they were pretty much in a similar position as their masters but just in reversal role with the kitten cuddling the pup from behind instead. Reina would have gotten them to rest in her basket if not for that Eri had passed out from the kiss in her semi-human form. She did panic a little when the girl blacked out but after making sure she was okay, given that she could not bear to attempt to wake the angel, she brought her to an empty guest room instead. Less comfy than her basket though, but will do for now.
At some point of time, the pup had turned in her arms and snuggled in the neck. Since then, the kitten was simply just gazing at the slumbering angel. This was, in fact, the first time she had actually settled down enough to really take a good look at the angelic face, studying every single detail and safe keeping them in mind.
For how long she had been staring, the kitten did not know or rather did not bother to care.
It might have been after several hours that the pup finally stirs a little from her sleep but not quite yet opening her eyes. Reina tightens her hold and watches affectionately as those lids that were heavy with sleep, unfolds to reveal a pair of unfocused sliver orbs for the second time of the day. As expected, the girl again, jolted, except this time she did not thrash around when the drowsiness dissipated enough for the pup to make out her current state. If it had not been for the steady hold Reina had on the girl, she might have fallen off the bed from the shock.
If she could, Reina really wish she could have kicked her own ass for bringing the girl down to this point.
For a few minutes, they just remained still, the pup with a startled look and the kitten with an almost remorseful smile. It was not long before the initial shock starts to wear off and Eri tenses up again as she recalled what had happened before and blushed.
Seeing that, Reina gingerly starts to lean closer to the recovering girl and planted a kiss tenderly on her forehead while mumbling words of console.
“It’s alright babe… It’s okay…… I’m not going to hurt you…” It was getting harder to convey what she intended to when she felt her throat tightens.
“This is not a dream…Not anymore……this is real………I’m here for you……” the kitten clenched her jaw tightly to calm herself down from the sudden surge of emotion.
“I’m…… sorry for being such an ass…… I’m…the worst……” she tried but ends up turning into a sobbing mess as she reproached herself.
As the kitten weeps, Eri realized the gentle grip that Reina previously had on her had turned into clinging hold, almost a desperate attempt to keep her close. On instinct, the pup just shifted their positioning to let the girl rest her weight fully atop her and holds on endearingly to kitten.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back at the library, the sun had almost set, casting an amber glow upon it. Even so, a certain pair of couple had yet to leave. Strings of vocabulary can be heard coming from the back of the library.
It seems that the Princess had discovered that the crystal ball was word bind.
“Release……Reveal……Disclose……Uncover……Unearth……Unveil…... Unwrap…Materialize…………………” Risa watched in awe as the Princess starts to verbalize randomly, probably banging on out of a hundred shots, she might get a bull’s eye by chance. She is stubborn isn’t she?
“Show……Appear…… Surface…… Emerge…….Come on……Come out…….Get Out… ……Hey……” Was that a “hey” she heard? The brunette could only laugh harder as she buries her face into the girl’s shoulder. Apparently, the raven had pretty much starting to run dry on ideas hence she was basically just throwing anything that came into her mind.
“AH! Abracadabra!” she exclaimed and observed the bluish purple orb closely for a reaction…but nope. Nothing happens. The Princess thought she got it this time. Thought.
Turning in her lap to face her, Ai pouted as she smacks the snickering girl playfully.
“Expose?” the girl attempted again.
“Okay!” Risa replied shamelessly as she does a suggestive gesture as if she was going to remove her clothing, which of course, got her a few harder smacks.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just as Eri had thought the girl atop of her had fallen asleep, Reina hesitantly pulled back from her neck.
“Sorry…I’m…I…” apologies again.
Deciding that there was just too much apology from the kitten, Eri switches the topic.
“Come on…Let’s start anew.” The pup said while she sits up, bringing the gloomy kitten into a sitting position on her lap. As the puppy look expectantly at her, Reina nods shyly.
With that, Reina closes her eye on the side that Eri had leaned forward to as she brushes her cheek softly up against hers. Reina purred as she leans into the friendly gesture from the puppy and giggled when Eri nudged her playfully with her nose.
“Eri of Niigaki” the pup pulled back with a bright smile but not too far away from the kitten before introducing herself.
“Reina of Ai” the kitten replied and returned the friendly gesture before nuzzling into the puppy’s neck.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Ouch…aw………No one told me a Princess packed a punch as well…” Risa whined and pouted as she rubbed her slightly sore arm, easing the pain away from the ruthless smacking by the blushing Princess.
“Serve you right!” crossing her arms, Ai just glared at the girl.
“Maybe you wanna try ‘Strip’ instead? It might have better results.” Risa immediately put her hands up, prepared to defend herself from another round of beating which…never came. Slowly, she peeked through her fingers cautiously. The girl was looking away as she murmurs something under her breath.
“
She’s lying… she’s lying… she’s lying…” Straining her ears to hear, Risa pressed her lip into a straight line to prevent from laughing out loud, amazed that the girl actually took her words into consideration.
“What are you doing!” the girl continued as she smacks Risa, who had her hands suspiciously behind herself.
“Ouch ouch! I’m just trying to tie up my sash…its loose!”
“Like REAL!”
“Oh…or you prefer me walking around later with the possibility that my sash might fall causing half my body exposed to the world? I’m okay with just showing you…but… i’m not sure about others…” Swinging one end of the loose sash, the mischievous girl smirked.
“Not interested!”
“Did you hear that?” the bluish-purple eyed girl suddenly alerted.
“What?” the pointed ears of the Princess twitched slightly as she heightens her senses.
“It’s so loud……”
“Here… you will hear it better.” The brunette continued as she pulls the girl closer until a side of her face is leaning against her chest. Ai finds it strange but compelled anyway.
“My heart is breaking…” Risa managed to deliver that part of the message as calm as possible before cracking up as she secures her arms around the struggling girl’s waist and shoulder to hold her tightly to her. Unable to get away, the scowling girl pounded her fist mercilessly on any possible spot she can get on the younger.
She only stopped when she realized the girl under her was motionless with her arms limply by her sides.
“Hey…! Hey……Stop pretending!” not getting a respond, Ai started to panic a little as she shakes the still body.
“Hey…Wake up……… Risa!” the distressed Princess taps the girl lightly on her face. With her hands glowing white, she was about to heal the girl from whatever internal injuries she might have gotten from her when a bluish-purple orb hovered right between hers and Risa’s face, halting her action.
Confused, she followed it with her eyes as it hovers to the side. She observed closely as the orb glows softly before intensifying. Without warning, it flashed out, so bright that she had to shield her eyes from the blinding light. Opening them gradually, the already dark library was now softly illuminated by a bluish-purple glow. Rays of light then, started to extend out from the orb before flattening out at the end as if it was shone on an invisible screen.
Her eyes widen in fascination as the orb starts to project something on the light screens. She gasped as the images became clearer. It was none other then she herself. Each screen showed a different expression of her smiling, blushing, smirking, grinning, glaring, astonished, shocked and even the scowling look just from minutes before. At the corner, new screens were forming rapidly, showing new images.
It did not take long to realize that it was probably her current expression and from the angle, the camera can only be one person.
Indeed, she found the previously “unconscious” girl observing her with a grin when she turned to face her. So many questions flooded her mind now but she only managed to voice out a word.
“How?”
“Finally Ai-chan said it.” the simple reply was all the brunette offered as she wraps her arms around her waist affectionately.
Frowning, the Princess recalls what she had said that might have dispelled the binding.
New images were forming at a faster rate as the realization dwelled into those emerald orbs before gazing into the pair of amethyst.
Not wanting to break the moment, Risa raised her hand slightly to allow the projecting orb to rest on her palm gently before bringing it up between them.
“Here…Look…this corner…” she pointed out with her other hand before placing it back at the girl waist again.
“It’s still empty…I hope one day it will fill up as well.” The girl said in such a sentimental tone that Ai was not sure if this was the flirtatious brat she came to knew. She was speechless.
“Will it?” the brunette’s voice sounded almost desperate when there was no respond from her after a long silent.
Damning her ability to speak, Ai wrapped her arms around the Risa’s neck and leaned in swiftly, pressing her lips onto the almost quivering one.
Risa gasped at the sudden turn of event and closed her eyes to enjoy the feel of those soft lips on hers. After a short moment, the lips were still pressed tightly against her…but…remained perfectly motionless. Risa was a little lost on what to do because she does not want to push the girl but she her senses tells her that something is amiss as the girl had snuggled even closer to her. Realizing that this was probably the girl’s first kiss, an instinct of possessiveness seems to kick in as she tighten her hold protectively around the girl. Slowly moving her lips, she led the inexperienced girl into the kiss. Ai whimpered softly but not quite yet moving her lips. Risa encouragingly nudged the unmoving lips tenderly and smirked into kiss as she felt Ai reciprocated experimentally.
The brunette was seriously considering whether she should add her tongue in since this was only the Princess’s first lesson but decided to let it slip for now. She might overload the girl plus she is so innocently cute that she does not want to corrupt the girl so fast yet. Anyway, it will be fun too to have a lesson two during some other time.
Sensing the rapid increment in the girl’s temperature, Risa pulled away reluctantly, ending the kiss with a soft smooch. She does not want her girl to pass out thus leaving some bad impression or something.
The raven beauty still had her eyes closed when she pulled away hence Risa moved a hand up to support as well as to stroke the cheek softly, hoping to gravitate her girl.
When those heavy lids finally unfold to reveal the hidden gems, Risa was sure the orb was probably popping out new images at a frenzy speed and was definite that the orb was overloaded with images when a lazy smile made its way onto the girl’s face before turning it into a sexy smirk. The brunette was not even sure now who was the inexperienced one. She so wanted to go on to lesson two but shook the idea off.
Pulling the girl back down her chest, she calmed herself down a little.
“It’s loud….” The Princess copied the younger Niigaki’s words from before
“Hmm…ya…of course…cause you were the one hitting it?” Risa smiled contently as her girl continues to lay on her, listening to her heartbeat.
She opens her palm a little when the older girl started digging into it for the bluish-purple orb. Still leaning against her, the Princess took the small orb between her thumb and forefinger, observing the new additions. Even as she was looking, new images were accumulating.
“May I?” with a nod from the girl, Risa closes her fingers over those that were still holding onto the orb and squeezed softly.
Noticing that the shape of the item between her fingers was no longer round like before, Ai observed closely as Risa slowly removed her hand. Holding in between her fingers in place of the orb now, was a gorgeous silver ring imbrued with an amethyst.
The girl then gently took the exquisite item from her fingers. She leaned back slightly to see what the girl was doing only to find that the distant was once again closed by Risa who was leaning forward to have her hands behind her neck and she felt something cool resting against her collarbone. Looking down, she found the ring on a necklace
“It will be easier to carry it around this way.”
Taking a closer look at the ring, Ai found that the brunette’s name was elegantly engraved on the inner circle of the ring.
“Beautiful” the word was practically breathed out by the enthralled girl.
Using her hand to cup her girl’s face gently, Risa lifted it up to face her and this time, she moves in. It was slow and light as she pours her feeling into the kiss. Her heart soared when her girl returned those with equal affections.
Pulling back slowly, Risa sighed contently and presses their forehead together as she gazed at the girl who still had her eyes still shut.
When those emeralds emerged, she kissed her forehead and the girl naturally just nestled comfortably into the crook of her neck.
“These cuties are adorable…” Risa commented while she uses her finger to touch the pointed tip of the elven ear and chuckled when the girl twitches them playfully.
“You’re adorable too”
“Say that again.” Risa could not believe her ear. She had to confirm she was not hearing things
“That again”
“NO! Not that.” Ai giggled as the girl smacks her playfully
“You’re a brat.”
“But an adorable one…beware My Princess…I might abduct you someday.” Risa tried to sound as horrifying as possible and ended the sentence with a satanic laughter.
“I’ll be waiting.” came the casual reply from the unaffected Princess as she snuggled closer.
Risa was a little confused when she felt the hands that were around her neck moved to encircle her waist before fidgeting with something behind but only giggled as she realized the girl was tightening her sash for her.
