Ya-ho~ Did anyone missed me?
It's the weekend! Finally got a chance to sit down and write again. I should have finished this earlier but then I started to write different things and didnt get anything done.
Anyhow, this is part III! Enjoy~
Story IX: I Dare You Part III (MaYuki featuring Awesome! Yuko )Team B’s captain fidgeted in her seat. She had been trying to memorize her lines from the script in her hands but the task seemed to be harder than usual as her mind was distracted by other things, or rather, someone. That someone was also the one that she had been trying to avoid ever since that day in that very same room. She could not even look at the girl without images of them… doing
things flashing inside her head. The captain even could still recall how good the smaller girl felt underneath her, the smoothness of her skin, the taste of her lips, and the sound of her voice moaning out the captain’s name…. Oh Kami-sama!
Kashiwagi Yuki shook her head, trying to clear her thoughts. Her body felt warm and tingly all over. When she looked into the mirror, she could see that her face was flushed. The leader took a deep breath and placed a hand over her chest in her effort to slow down her erratic heartbeat.
“I seriously need to stop thinking about… that.” Yukirin thought to herself.
But it was harder said than done. Her relationship with said girl had evolved from complicated to… more complicated? Words cannot even describe what their relationship was at the moment. Sure, they still address each other as usual; however, there was this indescribable tension between the two of them that lead Yukirin to keep her distance. She had to, or she might give in into temptation again. Things became considerably awkward between the two of them.
The captain felt that it was wrong of her to think of the younger girl that way. Those dirty feelings were already there all along, surfacing from time to time but after that hot encounter, they had intensified to a certain degree that Yukirin could not ignore anymore. It was like finally having a huge bite of that forbidden fruit that she had been nibbling all along. And she wanted more of that fruit… badly.
Alas, she cannot. She must not.
She didn’t get the chance to consume the whole fruit as their passionate activity was stopped by the sounds of the other girls heading back to the dressing room. Yukirin was somewhat grateful (and extremely frustrated, too) by the interruptions. She didn’t even want to think of what would have happened to them if they had gone all the way that day. Their current situation was already enough to drive Yukirin to the brink of insanity, anything further would definitely send the girl to the madhouse. The captain closed her eyes and sighed deeply.
“Something wrong, cap-tain?” A teasing voice asked suddenly.
Yukirin’s eyes snapped open and she was met with the infamous pervert of the group, Oshima Yuko, who was grinning mischievously. The taller girl frowned. Normally, she liked the girl standing in front of her but after seeing how touchy feely Yuko was with a certain someone earlier, Yukirin found herself getting irritated with the older girl’s presence. Deciding that the brunette was one of the last things she wanted to see (at least for that day), Yukirin focused on the papers in her hands.
“Just some problems with the scripts.” The captain said coldly, hoping to drive off her sempai away. She really wanted to be alone for the time being. The effect was not quite what she had desired.
“Problems with scripts or…. I don’t know… Cyborg girl?” The younger shot a sharp look at the smirking Yuko. How did she? Yukirin stared incredulously at the short girl then something clicked in her brain.
“Oshiri-sisters. Damn it.” She should have known that
the girl would consult her butt-loving comrade about their problems. The knowledge made the captain a little bit restless. The faux sisters were too close to her liking.
“You should not get into people’s business.” Came the captain’s warning.
The older was not least intimidated by the glare that was directed at her. Instead, she flopped down onto the seat next to the annoyed captain. A smirk was still plastered on her face.
“I saw you earlier.” The squirrel-like girl spoke up. Yukirin bit her lower lip, trying to calm herself down. She did not want to do or say anything that she would regret later on in her current state of annoyance, although honestly Yukirin really would love to wipe off that smirk on perverted squirrel face. Rational thinking and her respect for the older girl stopped her from doing so.
“Didn’t expect you’d be the jealous type, hime-sama.” The captain gasped, eyes widening at the accusation resulting in a humorous facial expression. Always the reaction queen.
“I-I was not jealous!” Yukirin tried to defend herself but the stuttering gave away her true feelings. Yuko laughed lightly and patted the younger girl on the shoulder. Obviously the older girl did not believe every single word said. The flustered girl swatted away the mocking hand, clearly disliking the way their conversation was heading.
“I.AM.NOT.JEALOUS.” The captain said through gritted teeth. Yuko rolled her eyes at the girl’s stubbornness.
“Anyway, shouldn’t you be worried that Kojima-san would run away because of your perverseness? If I’m her, I’d be sick of my girlfriend running around kissing or groping other girls.” Yukirin shot back at the older girl, her black side appeared. She was tired of being the one getting attacked. It was time to turn the table around.
“Kojipa?” The smirk disappeared and the short girl got into her thinking pose. After a few seconds, Yuko just shrugged.
“Nyan Nyan wouldn’t do that, she loves me very much.” The short girl said with a grin.
The way that the squirrel said the words with unshakeable air of confidence irked the captain even further. Didn’t the older girl have any fear at all?
“How would you know?” The weather girl asked in a low voice, her head hung low.
Yuko noticed that the younger girl’s body was shaking and that her hands were gripping the papers so hard that Yuko was sure that the other girl would require a new copy afterward.
“How would you know that she wouldn’t wake up one day and then realize that she didn’t want to be with you after all? How would you know that she wouldn’t decide to be normal and marry a guy instead? How would you know that you would be the only one in her heart forever?“
The sudden outburst surprised Yuko. The older girl then realized that the questions were not just about her and Haruna. Those were the doubts that clouded the captain’s heart, the fears that prevented her from moving forward - Her insecurities.
“I wouldn’t know.”
Yuko’s expression turned into a serious one.
“I never asked Nyan Nyan for forever. I couldn’t. That would be asking for too much and downright selfish of me when I can’t promise her the same.”
The captain raised her head. The confused expression on younger’s face led Yuko to go on with her explanation.
“Isn’t it the same for the other party too? Tell me, would you be able to make a pledge that you will only love one person for the rest of your life?”
Yukirin fell silent, the words struck her hard. The answer is a definite no. No one could predict what will happen in the future. Yes, she could be very much in love today but what about 10 years from now? Would her feelings remain intact? The captain was so caught up about her own insecurities that she had forgotten that the other party was entitled to question her faithfullness too. The realization made Yukirin felt she was a complete jerk who only gave a damn about her self-interest. A sense of shame washed over her. Briefly Yukirin wondered if she ever could be as loyal as the female in front of her, the one that had been declaring her love for the other woman for as long as she could remember. The older of the two then spoke up as though as she could read Yukirin’s mind.
“You know, there was a point where I had almost let go.”
Shocked, Yukirin stared at her sempai’s face. For some reason, she had always believed that the older girl‘s love for the cat girl was eternal, a kin to those fairytale love she heard as a child. Hearing from Yuko’s very own mouth that the older was close to giving up such picture perfect relationship was like breaking news to her.
“Why… didn’t you?” The captain asked quietly.
A smile made its way on the older girl’s lips as she stared off into the distance, as if she was remembering a fond memory.
“She held on. During the time when I had lost my faith, she fought for us. She made me fall for her all over again.”
Noting that the younger girl was not giving out any response, Yuko brought her eyes back to the quiet girl. She laughed at the reaction queen who was awkwardly gaping at her. After a while, the captain, probably realizing how stupid she looked like at that moment shut her mouth and look away in embarrassment.
“My Nyan Nyan is amazing, ne?” Still in awe, the younger girl nodded.
“I… Envy you. The two of you. Somehow… You made things look so easy.” The captain admitted shyly with a weak smile. Yuko shook her head in disapproval.
“Iie. You’re wrong. It’s not easy, it’s never easy. But I thought to myself… If I don’t walk, how am I going to reach the other side? So I had to try. You’re an idol too, aren’t you? So you’d understand the meaning of ‘doing my best’ more than anyone else, right?”
Yukirin gave a weak nod. In the industry, those who only gave half-assed effort would never make it to the top. Contented that her kouhai understood the message that she was trying to get across, Yuko gave the captain another pat on the shoulder and stood up.
“Give yourself a chance. Give
her a chance. Who knows? She might surprise you.” The older girl said with an encouraging smile.
Yukirin returned the smile, all her hostility towards the petite girl earlier dissipated into thin air. The squirrel was only looking after her juniors, although her method was somewhat peculiar.
“Err... it’s not like I’m forcing you into anything but you understand what I’m trying to say right?” Yuko added as an afterthought, scratching her not itchy head.
Seeing the squirrel incertitude after such bold talk, a small laugh escaped the younger girl. It was amazing how the woman was able to transform from being a serious sempai into a dork in such a short second. Oshima Yuko never failed to amuse people.
“I understand. Don’t worry.”
After exchanging goodbyes, Yuko finally left, leaving the captain to ponder on their conversation. Sometime later on, the door to the dressing room swung open to reveal the one that had turned Yukirin’s world upside down. Their eyes met and like always, those brown orbs made a surge of conflicting emotions to come over the captain yet this time, it was slightly different. Yukirin had made her decision. It was time to stop running away.
Since the trouble started with a dare, another one shall end it all.
