CHAPTER 37
I’ve only been here for an hour and already crazy things are happening. Sayu’s drunk, as I guess she would be. She’s getting a little too friendly with Koharu too might I add, if you know what I mean. Ai’s not totally drunk, but she’s using that to her full advantage to start a grope fest on Risa. Seeing the two of them like this make me worry for Eri. She went off to get a drink from all the dancing we were doing and I’m left on the couch to cool down. She’s an amazing dancer, much better than me. She seems to love dancing too. It makes her happy. I had enough dancing for one night. I wonder where she is though. Maybe I should go look for her. She’s been gone for over a minute. It doesn’t take that long to get a drink. I get up to head towards the back of the room. As I walk pass people, I see Sayu trying to seduce Koharu, but since she’s drunk, she’s a little sloppy in her words and her coordination is slightly off.
“Ahh, Shige-san, please not again!” Koharu pleads
These two are unbelievable, well…not entirely. Koharu tries to run away from Sayu, but she grabs on to her writs and pulls her back. I know how strong Sayu is and how strong her grip is too. She’s only strong when she’s drunk, oddly. Koharu’s done for unless someone gets her. I’m not sure if I should be the one to interrupt. Sayu places a kiss behind Koharu’s ear and her skin instantly turns bright red. So bright, I can see it through the flashing lights. Sayu nuzzles into Koharu’s neck and wraps her arms around Koharu’s waist.
“Can’t we w-wait for later?”
Yeah, MUCH later. Sayu doesn’t listen. I’m not sure if it’s because of the alcohol or just from the raging hormones. Whatever it is, it has to stop. Looks like I’m coming to the rescue.
“Hey! You two get a room already!”
Sayu glares at me and lets Koharu go. I’m surprised she listened. Koharu sighs and thanks me. She’s safe for now. I smile at her and head to where I planned on going in the first place. I’m a little disappointed when I see Eri nowhere in sigh. Where could she have gone? I’ll check the kitchen. I go off to wander again and push the door open without thinking. BIG mistake.
“Ahh! Oh god…my eyes!” I put a hand over my eyes. “I’m sorry Yossie! I um…have you two seen Eri?”
My cheeks start to feel warm. I’m probably blushing so bad it would put Koharu’s previous blush to shame. Aren’t people usually supposed to have sex IN the bedroom anyway? Instead of in a kitchen, on the counter?! I don’t need to know that. I’m just glad they’re not fully naked, but it’s enough to damage my brain. I hear shuffling and mumbling. I think I’ve lost my eyesight.
“No we haven’t. Is there anything else you need?” Yossie asks, highly annoyed.
“Yeah, if I go blind and mentally scarred, YOU’RE paying for my medical bills!” I chuckle
Rika giggles
“Get out!”
“Alright, I’m leaving, geez.” I turn around and stick my arm out to find the exit. I keep walking and slam face first into a wall. “Ow!”
I rub my nose and feel for the door again. My hand touches something wooden. This must be the door. I hurry out. Ok, Eri’s for sure NOT in the kitchen. I’ll check upstairs then. I’m scared what I might find at the top of the stairs. I walk up each step carefully to brace myself on what I might see again. There’s nothing bad when I get there, thankfully. I’m not sure if I can deal with seeing someone just go at it in the hall either. What is it with everyone being horny tonight?! Did Yossie put something in the drinks to get everyone to try and jump someone’s pants? That’s not important. I need to find Eri. I’m so busy looking into each room to find her that I forget to look ahead and bump into someone.
“I’m sorry. I wasn’t paying attention.” I apologize
“It’s fine, nothing was spilled.” She lowers the cup in her hand
Wait a minute…I know that voice. I squint to see the person better. It’s hard to see anything in this dim lighting. I squint harder until she comes into view. It’s an older girl. She’s wearing a mask that covers the top part of her face with fox ears on the top of her head. Her hair is tied up and large crystal earrings dangle from her ears and she’s wearing a nice tan colored glittering dress. I try to remember who she is. I’m still not getting anything. It’s on the tip of my tongue. She looks at me confused. I think harder. I got it! I snap my fingers the second it comes to me.
“Aya!” I proclaim
“Yes?” she asks, skeptically
I chuckle seeing that she’s lost to my outburst. “It’s nothing. I was just remembering who you were. It’s hard to see anything in this light. That’s a really nice costume.”
She smiles and points to my cat ears. “I like yours too.”
Oh! Now’s the time to try and get her and Miki together! It shouldn’t take a minute. I trust she won’t try to take my head off. So here I go. I take a deep breath before starting.
“Uh…Aya, don’t be mad at Miki, ok? All the mean things she does to upset you, she never means them.” Aya reminds silent and emotionless through my speech. I get a little nervous. “She doesn’t hate you either and the incident at the school was my fault. I was only trying to get you two together. Only because Miki really likes you and she has a hard time asking you out. So I’ll help her, will you go out with Miki?”
There I’ve said it. It’s all done and over with. Lets hope this works. Aya smiles and puts a gentle hand on my shoulder. I hope she says yes. I would hate to be the bearer of bad news, especially to Miki. Who KNOWS what she’ll do to me! Probably skin me or beat the living day lights out of me. Sometimes she’s too scary for her own good.
“You’re really kind. And I admire how much you want to help Miki,”
Oh boy, here comes the ‘but’ part! This isn’t looking good.
“But I would like to tell Miki myself the answer.”
I suppose that’s KIND of good. There’s still some hope and no direct answer. I’ll fix that. I see something standing off to the side behind Aya. It’s too far away and dark to see what or who it is. But I have a really good guess on, whom the unknown figure might be. Aya doesn’t notice the person behind her. I turn back to her. This is my last try. “So is that a yes?”
She laughs. “If you must know, yes I would like to go out with her, very much.”
“Good because she’s right behind you.” I point in front of me
Aya spins around and Miki makes her way down the hall. She smiles at Aya and holds her hand out. Aya grabs it in a heartbeat. They stare at each other, lovingly. Mach Maker Reina strikes again! I honestly had no idea if this would work; I just took a guess. They’re staring at each other pretty intensely; it kind of creeps me out. Miki then kisses her and they stand there lost in the kiss. I smile. Then they start to get a little touchy. I frown.
“Geez, you guys not while I’m here!”
I walk away before they can say anything and continue my search for Eri. She isn’t in the bathroom. I step inside anyway to fix my hair and make up, then use the toilet. I might as well use it since I’m here. I step back out not knowing where else to check. Where is she? Is she ok?! I’m starting to panic. I walk back down the hall. Miki and Aya are gone. I don’t even want to think on where they could have gone. I near the staircase and someone zips up, startling me. The person stumbles a few times in their step then falls. They quickly get up and look at me.
“Reina!”
Who is that? They come closer and I get a better view.
“Eri?!”
She stumbles forward and goes to grab me, but she falls and latches on to me to break the fall. I hold her then help her up. I look her over properly. Her face is flushed, her eyes are glossed over, and her cowboy hat is put on crooked to the side.
“Eri are you drunk?!” How can she be after I told her to stay away from the alcohol?! Oh crap, I forgot to tell her the punch is spiked.
“I’m n-not drunk Tanakacchi!” she giggles
I’m an idiot. I should have warned her. How drunk is she? She doesn’t smell like she bathed in beer, that’s a good sign. But she can’t stay still and looks like she’s about to flop over.
“I was looking everywhere for y-you. Where’d you go…Reina-chan?”
She sounds sad to have lost me. Even drunk she manages to look cute and sound helpless. I’m not so mad at her now. I have this strong urge to take care of her instead. I put an arm around her waist to try and hold her still. She’s even more defenseless in this state. I hear her hiccup a few times and it’s so cute. She needs to go straight to bed, enough fun for her.
“Come on Eri. I’ll go get Ai so we can leave.”
She shakes her head and pouts. “I-I don’t want to leave yet.” She whines
“Eri, you can’t stay here.”
She thrashes around in my arms, making it hard for me to keep a hold on her. Then she slips out of my grip. She loses her footing and falls backwards to the floor. Her hat falls off her head. I sigh and squat down to help her once again. I pick up her hat. She sits up looking at me in a daze. She’s just acting goofier and stranger. I fix her hair. She’s not staying here any longer. Not if I can help it. I’ll make that clear.
“Y-you make a sexy cat, d-did I tell you that?” she smiles and leans close to me. A sloppy hand reaches up and loops on to the hook on my collar. The hold is tight, making it hard for me to move.
I feel myself freeze as she pulls me face to face with her. Her breath is heavy and smells like alcohol just a little. It isn’t a strong and sour smell. What is she doing? This isn’t the time to fool around. Yet I can’t turn away.
“You’re my cat only. My…neko-chan.” She hiccups again and comes closer. “Let me hear you purr, kitty.”
She pushes me back into a sitting position until she’s sitting on her knees between my legs. She keeps the hold on my collar and kisses my neck. I sigh and sit still. It’s hard for me to focus with her kissing me like this. She kisses the other side of my neck then licks me, slowly. I moan, unable to control myself. I close my eyes and breath heavily.
“E-Eri, this isn’t…we have to stop.”
This isn’t right. We’re in a hallway for crying out loud! It doesn’t slow her down though. She places her lips over mine to silence me of any more protest. As a reflex, I kiss her back, hungrily. Her tongue tangles with mine in a messy kiss, but I manage to kiss her with no problem. Her mouth is warm and moist. I can taste the bitterness the alcohol left behind, but it isn’t that much of a strong taste. It doesn’t distract me from kissing her. I part away an inch to catch my breath. Her free hand goes up my shirt to fondle and caress my breast. I cry out the second she firmly grabs my breast. She shifts her hand down to my shorts and easily pulls down the zipper and undoes the button. This can’t go any further than kissing, it’s just too sudden and she’s drunk. Yet I can’t seem to push her away. She kisses my neck again, causing a chill down my back. She puts her hand inside through the zipper and I grab her wrist. I know I’m going to regret this later, a whole lot!
“We really have to go.” I say firmly
She pouts at me. “But…I wan tot make you feel good.”
Oh I’m feeling good all right, but if I don’t stop now we’ll both regret it. I stroke the side of her face and give her a peck on the lips.
“There will be other times. I promise.”
She takes her hand out and gets up. I take her hat and stand on my two feet then place the hat back on her head. I fix my shorts and grab her hand. She seems a little upset, but she’ll get over it. I need to calm down, though. My body is screaming for her to touch me again.
“Come on, let’s go find Risa and the others.” I suggest
We walk down the stairs together, carefully. I’m ready to go. I’m not staying here with Eri like this. Who knows what else she’ll try on me to embarrass me.
