===========================
Mayu’s POV“Every dumb prank I went through for the past year, was by you?”
I wasn’t going to let anyone else prank Yuki. It could only be me. I wanted to bring out the best of her reactions. It’s been worth it.
I hop down the stage to her level. “All of it.” I smile daringly. What are you going to do about it, Yuki?
“Let me borrow her real quick.”
Before I had realized it, Yuki had picked me up and brought us up to the roof. It’s quiet out here except for the sound of our breathing.
I feel her dark aura as she flashes us to the edge of the roof. Oh no. Holding onto my dress with her hand, she hangs me over the edge. No no no no no no nooo no!! I start hyperventilating. Out of everything she could have done… It had to be this.
I struggle under her grip, trying to pry her hand off my dress. Why did I have to be wearing a dress? I wish I was wearing a shirt. This is not comfortable at all. I bet she knows that. I stop struggling, realizing that what I’m doing is stupid. If I get her to release me right here, I’ll fall. This is bad. This is bad…
“Ne, Mayu. Are you having fun now?” She smiles wryly.
No! I’ll be giving her satisfaction if I answer her. If I wasn’t on the verge of being dropped to my death, then sure, this might be fun. I look down trying to not meet her eyes. Big mistake. The drop beneath me looks much higher than it should be. I’m hit with a dizzy spell and my body begins to tremble. I look up at the sky to prevent tears from falling. I don’t want her to see me cry again. Especially for a reason like this.
“I heard you have a fear of heights. I see it’s true, right?!” She shakes me aggressively, forcing me to look back at her. I grit my teeth as tears finally fall.
“Yes. Happy? Now let me go.” I say in a rather indifferent manner, trying to be strong.
She releases a couple fingers, only holding me with two. She holds on to me firmly and easily, as if I were a paperweight.
Still, I freak out. I didn’t mean it like that! “I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry! For everything I did, I’m sorry! Please don’t drop me! Let me down! Please! Yuki, I’m sorry!” I beg for her forgiveness. I start crying uncontrollably. This is too much for me to handle. Any other punishment would have been better than this! I don’t want to fall. Not again. This is much higher. I’ll certainly die this time.
“Yuki…aren’t we friends? You wouldn’t hurt your friend, would you?” I sob.
“I’ve done worse to others.”
I look at her, horrified. I’m doomed.
I shouldn’t have said that I did it. She’s too black right now. It was just so tempting. I wanted to know what she would do if she knew.
I should have done smaller pranks, like the others said. I just couldn’t. They were too simple for my tastes. If I couldn’t go all out with my pranks, it wouldn’t be as much fun. I did a lot, but I never hurt her.
I recall the pranks I did, bitterly thinking that I may have went too far.
Early into the days it all started, I placed a skunk in Yuki’s closet. When she found it, she screamed causing the poor animal to panic and spray her along with her closet. She had to bathe in tomato juice for a week, and she wore a tracksuit the entire time while she got all her clothes cleaned. She told her classmates that it didn’t bother her, but it was obvious that she was furious. She never did anything about it though, which surprised me. She had a lot of self-control to not do anything back.
Another time, I had saran wrapped her entire room. It made things easier for me that she lived alone. Going over every single thing, I covered the floor, her bed, pillows, desk, textbooks, purses, jewelry, her clothes, everything. It was a special wrap that I used too. She was beyond pissed when she found her room covered. When she tried to clean it, the wrap emitted a noise of a baby crying loudly. Enduring the noise, she removed the wrap as fast as she could. It was entertaining to watch, and she crashed exhausted on her bed right after. She seemed so lifeless then.
One of my favorite pranks I did was while she was sleeping. With some help, I had her bed brought up to the top of a big tree. It took a while but we were able to get it to just barely stay up there without her waking up. The next morning, Yuki was woken by a harmless caterpillar crawling on her nose. She panicked in surprise and started freaking out. Her sudden movements caused her to fall out of her bed. Luckily, she landed on a mattress I placed on the ground just in case. I’m not cruel, right? She landed safely. Raged though, she actually took her frustration out on the tree she fell out of, quickly cutting it down to bits using her speed.
I had all of them secretly recorded so that I could watch them over and over again. My lips tug up just a bit at the memories. For just a brief moment, I forgot about my current problem.
Unfortunately noticing it, she releases another finger and I jerk slightly lower. She hangs me out like a coat on a wall. I gasp, taking in rapid breaths. If not my death, she’s going to cause me to get asthma.
“Were you lying when you said you loved me?” I ask desperately, choking on tears. I have to know.
She doesn’t answer me. I don’t know what to think of her silence.
“I love you.” I say. Even if I don’t really know, I want to make sure she knows.
“With recent events, I guess nothing can begin between us.” She utters softly.
At that, she lets me go.
I close my eyes as I fall. It’s all my fault. She was almost mine, but I ruined everything.
Unable to hold it any longer, I scream. My last thoughts trailing, I don’t want to die.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yuki’s POVDidn’t she know, curiosity kills the cat, or in this case, the mouse. That sneaky girl. If she’s so smart, she shouldn’t have messed with me in the first place. She did say she loved me, but is that really so? Or was that a lie? But she was so nice earlier. I bet she was pretending to be nice to me so she could later break my heart. No, that can’t be. I’ve only known her for a short time, but Mayu wouldn’t do that. She’s not that kind of person.
Either way, she’s done enough.
I watch amused as I let her fall. This is what you get, Mayu. Never mess with Kashiwagi Yuki.
This is very good, I’m glad Rena told me about her fear. It makes it so much easier for me to punish her. Those pranks were the worst, I hate just remembering them. It feels great to finally know who’s behind them, even if it is Mayu.
Thinking about it, a crying Mayu is really cute and interesting. It’s not something you see every day. I could see she tried so hard not to. It was in vain though.
Not watching anymore, I decide to listen to her scream. I giggle. Just a few more seconds, and it should cut off. I hum to myself for a bit, waiting for the end. I lean over the edge to take a look how far down she was. Ah, almost there.
Within the next second, I run down the wall to the ground. I hold my arms out, as I look up. Smiling triumphantly, I catch her. She’s still in shock, screaming. After a minute, her scream dies away as she realizes that she’s not falling anymore. She slowly turns her head to me, bewildered. I kiss her cheek.
“You didn’t really think I’d kill you, did you?”
“I fell didn’t I?! Of course I thought that!” She yells breathlessly, struggling to get out of my arms. I let her down, but keep her back up against the wall of the building.
“You deserved it.” I say. She rolls her eyes indifferently. There’s the Mayu I know. Always trying to show she doesn’t care. You’re such a liar. I can see through your expressions now. You’re just a child.
“You also deserve this.” I whisper before rewarding her with a meaningful kiss. Surprised at first, she soon returns my kiss, cupping my cheek as she brings us closer together.
“I thought you hated me.” She says after we pull apart.
“I never said that. I said I loved you, Mayu.” I press my lips against hers once again, and she returns it eagerly. “This is for entertaining me.” I say playfully.
“Those were fake tears.”
“Oh really? Shall I do it agai—“
“No!” she suddenly clings onto me.
“Don’t! Don’t do that again…” she whispers almost painfully.
“Mayu?” I rub her back worriedly. I shouldn’t have said that. I was just teasing. She was terrified when I held her up there. I could feel her trembling in my grip. Anyone would be scared though if that happened to them.
“I’m sorry. Are you okay?”
“I will be, now that I have you.” She says, trying to lighten the mood. If she didn’t seem so frightened right now, that would have been sweet of her.
“Mayu…please tell me. Why are you afraid of heights?” I feel like there’s more behind it.
She shrugs. “It’s a long story. We should get back.”
“Give me the short version. I can get us back in no time anyway. They can wait a bit longer.” It’s only been 5 minutes. Wow, a lot can happen in 5 minutes.
Sighing, “Fine, it’s not a secret anyway… When I was 10, my parents were killed before my eyes, and I was thrown off a cliff. I survived, but just barely and I lost an arm. You could say that’s sort of why my arm is the way it is now. Since that time, I’ve kept away from high places.”
Shocked, I can only stay quiet. What kind of person would do that to her family?? That’s cruel. Especially to her as a child. Thinking about it gets my blood boiling. Mayu went through so much! I want to find the bastard who put her through all that pain. I want to know more of what happened, if she knows what happened to that murderer, how she dealt with her parents gone, how she lived after the ordeal, and how she got here. Yet I shouldn’t, because I don’t want her to talk of such a painful past.
I was a second year when she came, but I never paid much attention to any of the other students that weren’t in Block A besides Rena. I could talk a lot, but I wasn’t that social at the time. Funny how it’s not until my last year that I start to get to know everyone more. I missed out on getting to know many wonderful people who have their own stories to tell. I could have gotten to know Mayu more if I just knew of her earlier.
I don’t know what to say to her and I don’t think saying ‘I’m sorry’ would be enough, so I just embrace her. If I had known, I wouldn’t have done this in the first place. I would have done a different punishment.
“If you’re sorry then don’t be. I’ll be all right. I learned my lesson anyways. I won’t prank you anymore.” She says a bit regretfully. She’s going to miss it huh.
Pulling away from her, I stare into her eyes to see if she was really okay. They shimmer and are a bit red from crying, but she holds her gaze firmly to mine. I nod.
“You better not. Otherwise, I’ll break up with you.”
“What?? So we’re dating now?” She chuckles a bit skeptically.
“Yes. You’re mine now.”
She smirks. “Yuki, I’ve always been yours.” She surprises me with a kiss, not giving me any time to breathe in between the several kisses that follow after.
A long moment later, she groans pulling away from our little make-out session. She rubs her temples as if she had a headache.
“What’s up?” I say concerned.
“Paruru says we have to go back now. Everyone’s been waiting on us. Tch, what time is it?” she sighs in frustration.
I look at my phone. “Um, we haven’t even been gone 10 minutes.”
“Nani?? How?? I swear it feels like it’s been an hour.”
“That’s because you’ve been with me, silly. Things might seem slow, but around me everything’s fast.” I wink. “Do you understand?”
She closes her eyes to think. She soon looks at me and opens her mouth to say something, but stops. She tries again, but pauses. She shakes her head. “You know what, nevermind. I have enough going through my mind now, I’ll try to understand later. For now I just want to say, let me do a project on your powers later. I want to gather research on a theory I have.” She takes my hand, walking us back.
“Uh sure.” I’m a bit confused. Project? Like that sounds like so much fun…
“You want me to run us back? It’ll be faster. Though things are apparently good between our blocks, I don’t want to keep Mariko waiting too long.” I say.
“Walking has its own perks you know. There are some things you can only appreciate when you’re taking your time.” What does she mea— ah, I get it. I squeeze her hand in mine, lightly swinging them happily as we walk.
~~Sometime later during the party~~
After the dance battle, I praised Mayu on her dancing. She merely pouted in return, saying that she wasn’t even that good. Fine then.
“You were behind everyone in your steps, you messed up on more than one occasion, you seemed stiff, and to sum it up, your dancing was really poor. It. Was. Awful.” Emphasis on the word awful.
She punches my shoulder. “Meanie!”
“What are you, a child? You’re the one who said you weren’t that good.” I say innocently.
Tears start to form in her eyes. “Was I really that bad?”
I panic. “No! I was just kidding! You were amazing, really. That song’s choreography is really hard, but you were able to dance it wonderfully with the others. Seriously, you were great.”
She wipes her eyes. “Now that was fake crying.” She laughs. “I know I’m good, I didn’t believe you when you said all that in the first place. I just wanted to hear you compliment me on it again.” She sticks her tongue out and holds up a peace sign. I mess with her bangs, brushing them around for kidding with me. She slaps my hand away, irritated, and tries to fix them back into place. I laugh and hug her from behind, resting my head on top of hers.
“Ah! There’s Yuko!” She calls, pulling away from me. Confused and a bit upset, I follow after her. Catching up, I find her standing in front of Haruna who is sitting on Yuko’s lap.
“Haruna, can I speak to Yuko privately?” Mayu asks.
“Sure.” She says simply before getting up and walking away.
Yuko jumps up upset, complaining. “Oi! Why’d you do that?? It took me forever to get her to sit on my lap! How am I supposed to hold her perfect body now?!”
“We might have had differences, but I’d like to offer you a chance to actually have Haruna as yours.”
I whistle. Yeah, she can’t refuse that.
Yuko squints her eyes suspicious of her. “I’m listening.”
“You won’t know any more unless you accept. I will say this though, if you accept, then besides having Haruna, I’ll also offer my services in locating her for you when you can’t find her. ” Ooooh, good play.
“Hm… ok. Whatever it is, I’ll do it. What is it??”
“Not here, I’ll explain the details later. Can you come to the lab in 5 days?”
“5 days?? You gotta be kidding me.. But yeah sure, I’ll be there. At least tell me what you get out of this. What are your motives?”
“It’s just scientific research. Nothing more.”
“Eh? Interesting… Can’t wait!” she says quickly, waving her hands to gesture that she was going to go to Haruna.
“What do you have planned for her?” I say curious.
“It’s not much really. Would like to watch what happens? You can come to the lab with me.” Her eyes glint excitedly.
“I’d love to.”
~~5 days later~~
3rd person omniscient POV somewhatMayu leads Yuki to the lab, finding Yuko waiting at the entrance. Yuki marvels at the structure. “I heard about this before, but I never believed it was true. This is where the lab is?” They all stand in front of a thick tree, a door embedded into the trunk. At the top, a small treehouse can be seen. It looks very simple.
“Why can’t I teleport inside it??” Yuko demands, since she wasn't able to.
“It’s built to resist super powers so not anyone can just get in. Only Block B students and Sasshi have access to it, but usually only me, Rena, and Mariko-sama are working inside there. You can use your powers inside though.”
“What is in there??” Yuki asks.
“Inventions. High tech stuff. Chemicals. You know, things you find in a lab.”
“No, I mean specifically since mainly block B students can go in there. Is there anything dangerous in there?” Yuki questions, as she’s heard rumors of them keeping weapons. It’s not like it’s bad, it’s just what they are is not known to her. In general, no one knows what weapons and devices they may have at all.
“That Yuki, is classified.” Yuki frowns upon hearing Mayu’s answer. Mayu lowers her head to a device that scans her eyes. A moment later, the door open revealing an elevator inside. The three head inside and are sent up to the treehouse.
Upon entering, Yuki and Yuko gaze around wonderingly. The lab is a lot more spacious than what they thought. They try to spot the other side of the lab, but they can’t seem to find an end as there are many machines in the way.
“How big is this place??” Yuki wonders aloud. Her eyes expand as she takes in the massive place.
“No, how does this all fit in here?!” Yuko says, while running around the room, looking through the various items on shelves and the tools on a wall.
“Um…I don’t remember. Probably about the size of a football field. It’s not that big. I’m actually looking to expand soon.”
“Ehh?? How???” Wide eyed, Yuki looks around the lab. She believes that this place is big enough.
“It’s the same as how my closet was done, isn’t it?” Yuki glances at Yuko confused. Yuko paces to Mayu.
“You got it. It’s just a hundred times bigger than your closet though. I invented a way to make space, since the original lab was becoming too small.”
“Sugoi…” Yuki mumbles.
“Come on, we’re meeting up with Rena. She’s been helping me with my recent project.” Mayu walks passed a bunch of shelves. She stops, turns around, and points to Yuko. “DON’T touch anything.” Yuki catches up to Mayu, linking her arm around hers since she doesn’t know her way around. Yuko follows sullenly, eyeing every little device that catches her attention. She makes a mental note to check the place out later. Thoroughly.
When they find Rena, they find her sitting in front a massive super computer. On screen a video is playing of Yuki when she was blasted in the maze while sleeping. To her horror, Rena didn’t expect Yuki to be there. She quickly fumbles at the keyboard, shutting off the screen before the three have a good look at it. Mayu of course, noticed it and nodded at Rena to keep the screen off. Both of them know it wouldn’t be a good idea to have Yuki know that they have videos of her under Mayu’s pranks.
“Was tha—“
“It was nothing, Yuki! Just running through software tests.” Rena stammers, fidgeting in front of them. Mayu glares at her. She couldn’t be any more obvious. Rena looks back at Mayu silently asking why she was here. She had no problem with it, it’s just that Mayu was usually strict about bringing other students into the lab. If she knew, Rena could’ve brought Jurina. Jurina kept pestering her about her hidden computers in the storage closet, and it would be easier to explain in the lab. That room was just one of many extensions of the huge super computer in the lab. If she can’t work in the lab, she just goes to one of the rooms. Rena liked the thought of impressing Jurina with her computer tech. She thinks it’s such a wasted opportunity that Jurina wasn’t with her at the moment.
Mayu decides to help her out, opening to a more relevant topic.
“Rena, Yuko said she’ll help us out.”
“Really?? That’s great! I’ll go get it.” Rena hurries to a small cabinet. Soon coming back with something small.
Mayu turns around. “Now Yuko— Hey! I said no touching!” she yells. Yuko was about to flip a red lever on a wall nearby. Mayu smirks, quickly realizing something.
“Oh nevermind, you can touch that. If you flip it, the wall will flip to reveal a fridge of food.” She says nonchalantly.
“Really??” Yuko excitedly flips the switch. The next moment, the ceiling opens above her and she’s launched like a rocket, right out of the treehouse. Mayu and Rena bend over laughing, while Yuki tries to cover her surprise. She ends up laughing too as she can’t help it. Rena goes to the computer and presses a few buttons before turning it on. She types some things and on screen a replay of Yuko being shot out appears. They watch her excited expression change into shock as she’s launched into the air, and can’t help from replaying that moment over and over again.
A harsh banging is heard on the door below a few minutes later. Rena puts Yuko on screen down below, whose face is red with rage. “Open this door!” she screams.
Laughing, Rena remotely opens the door for Yuko who gets inside quickly. Once inside, Yuko teleports back to them. She grounds herself on the floor, angry. “That was not funny.”
“You were the one who didn’t listen.” Mayu shrugs. “Now get up. All we need you to do, is test something out. The reason you had to wait 5 days is because it wasn’t ready to be tested yet.” Rena hands her a small bottle that looks like a perfume bottle.
“I came here for perfume?” Yuko looks at it incredulously. “I know where you’re going with this, and it’s not going to work. Really, I’ve tried all kinds of perfume and even cologne. And none of them attracted NyanNyan to me, like those stupid commercials and ads say. We’re all wasting our time.” She tries to return the bottle to Rena who pushes it back to her.
“It’s not perfume. …or cologne. Well, kind of. Just spray yourself with it. You agreed anyway.” Mayu states.
Yuko breathes a deep sigh. She knows she has to do this. She doubts it’ll work, but if there’s any chance that Haruna will be hers, she’ll take it. Before Mayu has the chance to tell her the risks, Yuko begins to spray herself. A red smoke-like mist comes out of the bottle and surrounds her. Mayu takes notes on a clipboard in her hand.
“I might have made a mistake in my formula.” She mumbles, scratching her head with her pen.
Yuki glances at her confused. “What do you mean??”
“It’s supposed to be pink. I must have messed up somewhere.” Mayu explains while jotting notes.
The three stare at Yuko’s clouded figure, waiting for the strange mist to disperse. As it dissipates, the three gasp. “Did it work??” Yuko asks anxiously.
“Something worked.” Yuki says nervously, trying not to stare at Yuko.
Yuko notices and looks about herself. She screams, “Ah! I have a tail!” She runs around in circles to get a good look at it, but she can’t reach it. Rena brings a full body mirror to her. Yuko screams louder, and moves her face closer to the mirror. She grabs her head, distressed. “Wahh! I have these ears too?! Mayu! Fix me!”
“Um, it’s just a minor side effect. It should wear off at the end of the day.” She clicks her pen, putting the notepad away. “Analyzing your situation, it looks like you took on qualities of a wolf.”
“Mayu, she’s doing it again.” Yuki points to Yuko who’s chasing her tail. “Are you sure she’s not a dog?”
“Yes, I’m sure. Her ears and tail are unmistakably that of a wolf. She possibly just has some other canine characteristics. It’s should be alright. She just needs to stay here until it wears off, and it’s quite possible she may start developing more animalistic habits, so we need to keep an eye on her. I want to see the full effects of this new development.” Mayu’s eyes sparkle at this new discovery. Though she didn’t achieve what wanted originally, she created something else and is already imagining the limitless possibilities this will offer.
“Yuko left though.” Rena points to the empty space in the room Yuko was previously occupying.
“What?! Weren’t you watching her?”
“She looked so cute, I didn’t want to bother her. After chasing her tail a bit, she stopped and started sniffing the air, her ears alert. She went around sniffing a bunch of things and soon left. I guess she’s searching for something.”
“Or someone.” Mayu rolls her eyes. She slouches in a chair nearby. “I can’t finish this project if she’s not here.” She frowns worriedly, as she doesn’t like to leave unfinished projects. It shows that she wasn’t smart enough to complete it correctly, and it damages her pride as a genius.
Yuki coughs to gains Mayu’s attention. “Ahm, Mayu, what were you going to do with that if it actually had worked?”
“Originally? I was going to try it out with you, but since we’re together now there’s no need for it. I’ll be putting in storage when it’s finished.” She says it without a hint of guilt, like there was no problem with it at all. On the other hand Yuki’s going off with her famous reaction.
“Eh?!”
“Let me explain. The purpose of the…oh—I haven’t thought of a name yet, huh…I need to name it. Um.. hm. Let me think.” Mayu closes her eyes, tapping her foot on the floor and her nails against a table. The tapping sounds echo throughout the large room, easily annoying Yuki and Rena who wait impatiently.
“I got it!” she screams, making Yuki and Rena flinch in reaction to the sudden noise. “When I finish it, it’ll be called, get ready you’ll love this.” She claps her hands together then spreads them out slowly in a rainbow fashion to describe her wondrous name. “Enlight.” The duo watch her strangely.
Yuki steps forward. “Ok, I know I’m not that smart but ‘enlight’ is not a word. And you’re the genius!” she adds at the end.
“I am a genius! I just created this word. It sounds much better than the word ‘enlighten’ or ‘enlightenment’ which would sound weird if I named it any of those.” She shakes her head, thinking that would be ridiculous.
“You may be smart, but you are terrible with coming up with names.”
“Oh shush, you’re just jealous you couldn’t think of it.” Mayu gloats to Rena. She frowns.
“Suit yourself.” Rena gathers some of her things near the computer. “Let me know your analysis later. I’m going on a lunch date with Jurina.” She nods bye to Yuki, and leaves.
“So as I was saying... the purpose of Enlight is to attract the person you like, similar to what a love potion or cupid’s arrow does. But those are just myths, fakes, whatever. Those don’t exist. It’s not easy to make a person like you, let alone love you, so I pursued the challenge of creating something that would actually make it happen.”
“Love isn’t something you can control or decide for others.”
“I know! Which intrigued me. Listen. Love is just a feeling, right? Feelings can be controlled though. Feelings such as sadness, anger, pain—people suppress them. People act like they’re happy in public when they’re really not. Everyone wears a mask in an attempt to control what they are really feeling. So what about love? Do people hide it? Show it? They become confused by it. It’s an entirely different feeling. It makes you spiral up and down a raging rollercoaster of emotions. So I wanted to try to control all of that, see if it’s possible to make someone love someone, or at least realize they do. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to be bad or anything. I’m just a curious person. It's not like the effect would be permanent. It's just an experiment.”
Yuki doesn’t like what she’s hearing. Her thoughts wander about Mayu. She would really use something such as that to make her fall in love with her? Many thoughts go through her head as she answers her own question. It’s not surprising, it’s definitely Mayu to use such a tactic. It’s also disgusting to her though, because she would hate if that happened to her. Anyone would, except the person using it. She shakes her head.
“Mayu, love isn’t something you should tamper with. You shouldn’t mess with anyone’s feelings. If I were to use it on you, and you found out later, how would you feel?”
“Oh. Eto…I wouldn’t like that.” She admits.
“So you know what you should do then?” Yuki implies. She wants Mayu to not finish this project, because if she does, then who knows when it’ll be used, and on who. It was good it didn’t work on Yuko, she was sure Haruna would hate it if she fell in love with Yuko unwillingly. Even if she did love Yuko, she would hate what Yuko attempted to do. Then again, it would be Mayu’s fault, so if anything happened she would have to take responsibility.
“I almost had a breakthrough though…” she sighs. “Ok, I’ll stop working on it. Only because you want me to.”
“Thanks. Now, why don’t you show me around here?”
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile, Yuko’s been teleporting all through the school, trying to sniff out a scent. She couldn’t get it out of her mind. She had to find it. It was like it was calling her to find it. It was like a game of hide and seek. Students would gasp in surprise when they saw Yuko, but when they blinked to make sure they weren’t seeing things, she would already be gone.
She growls in frustration as she can’t seem to locate the scent. She’s been practically everywhere, but still nothing. As she strolls through the garden, she comes across the scent again. She breathes it in deeply. It’s stronger and fresher. It’s close. Anxiously following it, she finally finds her target. She tackles the figure down, and rubs against her face trying to show her affection. The figure beneath yells out, shoving her away before getting up and brushing herself off.
Yuko tilts her head. The girl before her looks like a cat. She shrugs off those thoughts, because she doesn’t want to chase it away.
“What happened to warnings?” Haruna recalls Yuko always calling her name before she hugs her. She finds it odd that she didn’t this time. Shrugging, she decides to continue her walk in the garden, away from Yuko. To her dismay, Yuko follows her. Haruna surrounds herself with a force field just in case. Yuko doesn’t teleport or make any move to touch her, but instead just simply follows her wherever she goes. Haruna is intrigued and yet baffled by this kind of Yuko, who doesn’t talk much at all and stays only a certain distance from her, but close at all times.
After a while, being slow as she is sometimes, she finally notices Yuko’s appearance, but instead of saying anything about it, she decides to just go along with it.
She passes Yui and Paruru in the garden. Haruna smiles, greeting them. “Hey, how ar—“ Yuko growls at the pair she’s trying to talk to. Although they both know Yuko, they feel uncomfortable by her actions as she continues to growl aggressively to them. They both bow, excusing themselves saying that they needed to be elsewhere.
Haruna frowns, looking down at the smaller girl. “Why’d you do that?” As her tone is a bit harsh, Yuko’s ears flatten and she looks down away from Haruna guiltily. “Yuko?” Haruna calls, confused why Yuko doesn’t answer her, and her sudden change in attitude. "Yuuchan?" She calls again. At the mention of her name, Yuko’s ears perk up and her tail wags happily. Haruna forgets why she was upset with Yuko, and feels like petting her head. Her tail wags faster, and she smiles warmly as she feels Haruna’s soft hand upon her head.
Even though it is a bit bothersome since she can’t talk to anyone, Haruna finds it cute when Yuko growls at students who approach her. She feels a sense of protectiveness from Yuko. She ends up playing with her since she also can’t hang out with anyone else. She runs around with Yuko, playing a little game of tag, though Yuko still doesn’t touch her. She watches her as she rolls around in the grass, enjoying the sun and environment. Not wanting Yuko to fall asleep, she grabs a stick on the ground, and starts to play fetch with her. She laughs, finding it amusing that Yuko comes back with the stick in her mouth every time. For the time being, Yuko hasn’t teleported at all, only walking or running. It’s not like she couldn’t, but she enjoyed not using her powers for once.
They spend the whole day together playing and it was enough for Yuko. Her day hasn’t turned out as expected, but it was better than she ever imagined it could be.
Nightfall approaches, and Yuko stretches her body out on the ground, letting out a small whine as she yawns. “Kawaii!” Haruna smiles, and thinks it’s time to head back.
“Come on, Yuuchan! Let’s go inside now.” Yuko trots up beside her, her tail wagging excitedly.
After a quiet dinner, they go to Haruna’s room. Haruna told Yuko to go back to her room, but Yuko stubbornly followed her to her room. Sighing in defeat, she lets Yuko in her room because she’s been behaving well all day.
“Acchan’s not going to be here tonight. She’ll be in your room, so I guess you might as well sleep here too. On her bed though. Wait here, like a good Yuuchan. I’m going to shower before we sleep. You can shower after.” She pats Yuko’s head before going into the bathroom.
Yuko looks quietly around the room. “It’s like a dream.” She softly says.
Of course she is well still herself, she just felt more loyal and behaved throughout the entire day. She understands yet doesn’t understand the way she’s been acting, but doesn’t mind. She was happy with the way things turned out, and no one got in their way which was even better.
Her attuned ears listen to the sound of the water running in Haruna’s shower. She suddenly starts having strong desires to go in there, and it scares her. She wants to do something in there, but she can’t tell what it is. She tries to wait patiently for Haruna to finish. She fidgets around, trying to control her impulses. Her urges are so overwhelming though that she can’t contain herself, and she sneaks inside.
To not alert Haruna to her presence, she finally uses her powers and teleports inside. The first thing she notices is Haruna's clothes laid in a basket. She sniffs inside, finding her lacy underwear which dizzies her in excitement. She shakes her head to control herself, but then her eyes glaze upon the outline of Haruna’s body behind the shower curtain. Her desires increase, wanting to go there, and she soon finds that they are not entirely her own, but they have only increased as she's like a wolf. She tries to battle the wolf inside her and keep from disturbing Haruna. She knows that even this is bad. Haruna would be more than angry if she found Yuko here, and she didn’t want her to hate her. Not when they were just having a wonderful time earlier.
While she battles herself, Haruna emerges from the shower wrapped in a towel. She raises an eyebrow at Yuko who seemed to be in slight pain, clutching her head, whimpering softly. Yuko didn’t want Haruna to see her there. She really didn’t, so she fought hard to make herself get out of there while she still could. The only thing is, she didn’t even notice Haruna when she came out of the shower. Haruna’s not so surprised to see her there, but looks at her concerned.
Yuko gasps as she finally notices Haruna in front of her. She takes in the fresh beauty, and the thought of her naked body right underneath the flimsy towel is enough to send her over the edge. She realized something, as wolf instincts took hold of her. She didn’t realize it earlier, but when she first found Haruna in the garden, she imprinted on her immediately. Claimed her as hers. So technically speaking, Mayu wasn’t wrong when she told her that Haruna could be Yuko’s.
A change overcomes Yuko that Haruna notices but fails to realize that something may befall herself.
“I’m sorry.” Yuko whispers in a painful voice that surprises Haruna, before she pushes her up against the wall and kisses her hungrily, a low growl slowly rising from her throat.
The taller girl’s mind spirals out of control as she tries to comprehend what’s happening. In the end, she decides to stop thinking and returns Yuko’s kiss to fulfill the little wolf’s desires.
As they pull apart, Haruna realizes two things. The first being that Yuko’s wolf ears and tail are now gone. The second…she really loves Yuko. She knew she did, but she didn’t want to admit it to the girl she liked. She pulls the small girl closer to her, kissing her much to Yuko’s shock.
Haruna pulls back. “If you say anything, you’re out of here.” And kisses her again, cupping her cheek. Yuko smiles against her face and teleports them to Haruna’s bed. As much as she wants to, she doesn’t do anything to Haruna that night except kiss and hold her. Haruna’s body is laid under her covers, and it kills Yuko to not touch the bare body underneath. She doesn’t want to do anything rash in their new relationship and as much as she’s ready for anything, Haruna isn’t and she loves her enough to accept what they have. For now.
The following morning, Yuko was woken by a scream and was kicked off Haruna’s bed. When she came to her senses, Haruna stood before her freaking out, because she momentarily forgot what happened the previous night. She thought Yuko did something to her, but than she had an epiphany, suddenly recalling everything and burst out crying, sobbing she was sorry for kicking and accusing her. Yuko smiles lovingly at her new girlfriend, feeling like she’s just starting to get to know her. She gives her a tight hug in comfort and a good morning kiss.
“As much as I’d love for you to stay this way, you need to get dressed.” Yuko says, momentarily teleporting away and back, throwing clothes onto Haruna’s head.
“And she speaks!” Haruna says as she takes her clothes off her head.
Yuko playfully pushes her, as Haruna giggles in return. She turns away from her as she gets dressed.
“You know, you should have ears and a tail more often. I was kind of warming up to a quiet Yuuchan.”
“Well I like the loud Yuko who constantly clings to her lover.” Yuko says, running behind Haruna to attack her with a hug. She picks her up to swing her around, then buries her face behind her back to take in her scent.
“You smell wonderful.” She says.
Haruna turns around. “And you smell….awful, ugh, go wash yourself! You smell like dirt and sweat.” She scrunches up her nose, and lightly shoos Yuko to the bathroom.
Before entering through the door, Yuko tries to turn around stopping Haruna. “I’ll wash up if you go in with me.” She grins hopefully. Haruna blinks.
“Bath or shower? You can pick.” The small girl tries to give her options.
Haruna shakes her head and pushes Yuko inside, closing the door before Yuko could try to take her inside with her.
On one side, Yuko smiles defeated. She lets out a sigh, leaning her back against the door. On the other side, Haruna too is leaning against the door, blush shading her cheeks as she smiles, thinking about her Yuko.

If no one noticed, this is probably the last side story I'll do. Just saying.
