Also thanks for the supportive comments you left while I forced you to patiently wait for this update, really appreciate it
Chapter 5Click. Carefully shutting the door behind me I nervously surveyed my surroundings. The room was identical to the one I was just in, a television screen on the opposite wall and two grey couches sitting either side of a glass table, yet the atmosphere couldn’t have been anymore different. Being weighed down by the heavy pressure in the air I began anxiously inching toward one of the couches. With every tiny step forward a wave of guilt flowed through my body, causing my breathing to become more and more erratic. Despite the constant protest of my mind I finally completed the long journey from the door and arrived at the bedside of the snoozing maiden. A massive lump slowly tumbled down my throat as I cast my shaky eyes over the motionless Yuki. Gazing at the magnificently heaving chest my hands began unconsciously feeling my own breasts until a sudden urge pulsed down my arm.
“I wonder how soft they are…” Transfixed by the huge domes I silently mumbled to myself while reaching out with a possessed finger in order to get even the faintest touches. Just as my finger was about to prod Yuki’s my mind kicked in and forced my other hand to snatch at my arm to stop myself from poking Yuki. Struggling with the strange conflict going on in my head I stood quivering on the spot with only a thin slither of air hovering between Yuki and my finger tip.
“No I can’t do this!” Eventually common sense won over my desires, yet my devious my devious finger still managed to steal a slight stroke before it was yanked away. But the force of me pulling away was so great that it caused me to crash into the table behind me. Panicking at the loud bang I waved my hands around in an attempt to catch the noise and stop it from spreading. Then from my rear I heard a small groan followed by the sound of someone shuffling on a sofa. Fearing the worst I froze on the spot and slowly jerked my head around to see that Yuki had turned her body toward me. Luckily for me her eyes were still tightly shut but that didn’t stop me from placing my drenched hands on the floor to lean in and make sure that she was still asleep. However as I moved nearer to Yuki an alluring scent drifted up my nose, sending my mind into a crazy spin. Along with my fading consciousness, my head gradually fell toward Yuki our lips hovering dangerously near to each other.
Suddenly a low hum buzzed through the air waking me up from my dreams. Lifting my head away from Yuki I pulled my phone out and glanced at the flashing screen.
“Dammit Jurina you’re supposed to be helping me.” Not even bothering to see what the girl message said, it was probably another perverted joke; I stuck my phone back into my pocket and got back up to my feet.
“I guess better head back.” Taking one final glance at Yuki’s peaceful expression I walked over to the door and pushed it open, a tiny smile forming on my face. “This’ll do fine, for now…” Letting out a very slight sigh I stepped back into our original room only to be met by an unnerving silence. On one side of the room sat Rena, nervously sipping her drink through her straw, her dejected eyes peering down at the floor as if something awful had just happened. Across from her was a statue like Jurina, her elbow resting on top of her crossed legs as she blankly gazed into the wall beside her.
“Ah Mayu, you’re back.” Noticing me wander in Jurina dragged herself up and stared at me with a pair of unusually empty eyes.
“Come on we’re leaving.” Before I could ask what was going on Jurina marched toward me and yanked me out of the room. Shocked by Jurina’s strange actions I remained silent as she stomped out of the building and rushed through the bustling streets. Eventually we escaped the streets and slowed down from a brisk walk to a leisurely stroll alongside the river. I took this chance to wrench my arm away from Jurina and question her.
“Jurina what happened while I was gone?” Various scenarios flashed through my head as I stumbled to a halt behind Jurina, the sight of her lonely back sinking into my eyes.
“Huh what are you talking about Mayu? I just got bored of waiting for you to be done with Yuki.” Hearing my voice Jurina paused on the spot and spun around to face me with a forced smile. “By the way how did that go? Did you have fun with Yuki?”
“Never mind that Jurina, I’m asking about what happened between you and Rena-san.” At the mention of Rena’s name Jurina turned to forlornly stare at the setting sun as an ugly twitch of annoyance spread across Jurina’s face. This was probably the first time I’d ever seen Jurina get worked up about something or rather this is the first time Jurina’s revealed any sort of emotion to me. Normally she would just brush off something like this and laugh about it but whatever it was that occurred today clearly bothered her in some way.
“She slapped me…” In total contrast to her irritated face Jurina let out a timid murmur while trying to avoid any sort of eye contact with me.
“Eh?” I couldn’t help but exclaim at the unbelievably pathetic excuse made by the huffing girl. “Surely someone like you is used to the occasional slap?”
“This is different!” My attempt at making light of the situation was immediately dismissed by a whine from Jurina. “With those girls I’m the one rejecting them. But this time around…”
“You got rejected?” Finishing off Jurina’s sentence for her I desperately held in the urge to laugh at the rare occasion of her being rejected until I realized exactly why she was rejected. “Ah, I guess she is dating Yuki…”
“Well I’m not too sure…” It took me a few seconds to work out exactly what these words meant but the very moment things fell in place I felt a huge excitement spread through my body.
“Re-really what do you mean by that!” Thrilled by the small slither of hope offered by Jurina’s doubtful voice I latched onto her arm and began pestering her for more details.
“Look just give me a chance to explain ok?” Jurina pulled her arm away from me and took several steps back. Like a dog waiting for its treat I sat there wagging my tail in anticipation of Jurina was going to say. Taking a deep sigh Jurina began re-telling her tale. “It’s just that while we were singing I pulled off my typical moves, you know simple things like sharing the microphone or hugging her as we sang. Well she didn’t shy away from any of it. In fact considering the fact that she’s dating Yuki it felt like she was enjoying things a little too much.”
“That’s true…” During Jurina’s brief pause my mind quickly flashed back to the scene where Jurina had her arms wrapped around the seemingly fine Rena.
“So anyway with things flowing my way I decided to move in for more a little more action, but right as I leant into kiss her she slapped me across my face! And do you know what that wasn’t even the worst part!”
“Then what was?” Puzzled by Jurina’s exclamation I tilted my head and gave her a quizzical look.
“It was when she just sat there!” Jurina yelled at the top of her voice, the cool persona that once surrounded her rapidly crumbling down and revealing a rather whiney girl. “All the other girls would slap me then rush off but not this one; she just whacked me and then immediately froze up as if she was the one suffering from heartbreak…” Meanwhile Jurina’s hand unconsciously strayed up her chest and was clutching at the piece of clothing just above the heart.
“Er Jurina did you just say you had your heart broken?” As I finished uttering my question I could clearly see Jurina’s eyes whirl around and process the information through her brain before realizing exactly what was said.
“N-no I’m talking about my pride here! I can’t forgive that girl for shattering my pride like that!” The flustered girl flailed her arms around as she denied the very idea of her liking the girl that had just left a rosy hand print on her cheek.
“Oh really now.” Sensing a weakness in the bumbling girl I advanced up towards her and prodded at her blushing cheeks. “You’re bright red face seems to be telling me something else.”
“Come on Mayu just leave me alone.” Having just witnessed the unraveling of Jurina I began to uncontrollably laugh at the confused girl. Eventually I managed to stop my giggling and catch my breath so that I could explain myself to Jurina.
“I-it’s just that out of all the girl’s you could have chosen to like you managed to select the only ever rejection in your life.” With my eyes flooding from tears of laughter I stumbled back a few steps and stared at the pouting Jurina. It was refreshing to see someone who is normally so calm and nonchalant about other girls actually panic over a single girl. “This side of you is surprisingly cute you know.” Putting an arm around Jurina’s shoulder we started walking along the path along the river until Jurina got fed up of my childish hug and brushed my hand away.
“By the way Mayu-chan did you get up to anything, interesting?” A flashback of my time with Yuki came rushing through my head, from the sweet smell of her hair to the gentle touch of her skin the vivid memories of the moment invaded my senses causing my mind to go blank.
“Judging from your silence I’m going to say no.” Reverting back to her typical teasing ways Jurina reached round my waist and tugged our bodies closer together. “Mayuyu you had to take this chance to steal a kiss from your sleeping beauty. You never know when you’ll have your next chance to strike.”
“Ah I guess so…” Not really paying much attention to Jurina’s lecture I kept playing my short time alone with Yuki through my head, a larger smile forming across my face with every replay. All of a sudden a painful flick on my forehead woke me from my day dream and forced me to acknowledge the presence of the girl walking alongside me.
“Sorry but you’re face had such a dumb look that I couldn’t resist.” Sticking her tongue out at me along with a cheeky wink Jurina drew her arms away from me and started walking backwards while continuing with the conversation. “So as I was saying earlier, luckily for you I’ve got the perfect plan to give you a second attempt at things.”
“And when’s that going to be?” Still not convinced by Jurina’s promise sent a sharp leer toward her demanding some sort of explanation to her ideas.
“Surely a smart girl like you knows what happens at the end of the month? Or are you too boring to care about such a trivial thing?” It didn’t take me long to work out exactly what Jurina meant by this but I was still having a hard time working exactly when this ‘chance’ would present itself.
“You’re talking about the annual trip right?” I always hated going on these trips, it was bad enough that I had to spend most of the day with my school let alone having to sleep under the same roof as the rest of them.
“Ding-ding-ding full marks for Watanabe-sama! Oh but I better be off this way.” Ignoring Jurina’s sarcastic applause I came to a halt beside the bridge that Jurina was pointing at.
“Wait but how are you going to create this ‘chance’ with Yuki?” By grabbing the other girl’s arm I stopped her from rushing off and took the chance to ask her one last question.
“Trust me I have my methods.” Jurina pulled out her phone and wagged it in front of my face before slipping it back into her pocket. “Well you better start your preparations soon; it’s going to be one heck of a trip!” Waving an excited arm at me Jurina rushed off across the bridge leaving me to worry about what on earth the crazy girl had planned for the trip.
