Work Text:
“Phew! That’s all ready to go, now just waiting on my ride to arrive.” Mary stretched as she admired her hard work. Her bags were packed, but it wasn’t something to be proud of. All she had was an average looking black bookbag and a small drawstring bag.
Hyakkou Academy’s semester schedule is similar to a University’s, maybe even more generous. They had 6 weeks off from school for their Winter Break. Mary spent most of it with her family and hadn't seen anyone from school. It has been sort of relaxing to get away from the chaos on campus, but it was also kind of a burden to lie to her family about school and everything.
She didn't talk much to her parents, mostly because they try too hard to be liked by people better than them. It has always sickened Mary to see how desperate they are to be liked by the more wealthy or successful. That’s basically admitting defeat, but Mary knew she was different. She came from a middle class home, yet here she was destroying the lives of the rich and powerful. Thinking about it now, she almost couldn’t help but laugh.
Honk-Honk
Mary exhaled, that must be her ride. She grabbed her both of her bags and slung them over her shoulder, then headed down the stairs. Something caught her eye by the window next to the front door. “What’s the big deal, that you’re staring out the window?” Mary, now at the bottom of the stairs, placed a hand on her hip questioning her mother. Her mother looked at her with very wide-open eyes. It looked like she was anxious about something, as her hands were tightly gripping at the window panes. “Mary, there is a very expensive-looking black car in our driveway.” She turned back, intensely watching the car through the small window.
Her mother seemed to grow more anxious by the second now, this was really getting strange. Mary walked over to see why she might be freaking out, but she only saw the black car. Obviously it was her ride, but her mother was getting too worked up over nothing. She sighed and opened her mouth to speak, but was stopped by the sound of the doorbell going off. Mary’s stomach dropped. She really didn’t want to do this today.
She went to open the door, in the hopes that she could sneakily get through it and shut the door behind herself. No such luck. Mary’s mother was quick to pull open the door, pushing Mary to the side. They looked up at the girl on the other side of the threshold. Said girl quickly did a half bow and said “It’s so nice to finally meet you, Mrs. Saotome.” She stood back upright and it wasn’t until then that Mary realized the ashen blonde was holding a small rectangular box in her hand.
She hasn’t worn her mask since the election ended. It was a very nice thing to see her being more confident. Mary really appreciated seeing her face more as well. The girl opened her mouth to speak, though she was facing Mary's mother instead of the blonde herself. “My name is Ririka Momobami and, once again, it is a pleasure to meet you.” She raised her arm and extended it to Mary’s mother. “This is a gift for you, please accept it.” Her eyes looked very serious, marked with intent.
Mary’s mother started to reach for the gift but hesitated, worried that would be bad etiquette. Ririka stepped forward and delivered the gift into the hands of Mary’s mother, while she placed her other hand on top of the older woman’s reassuringly. “Please, this is my gift to you, would you accept it?”
Her mother’s resistance dwindled and she let a small smile escape on her lips. “I wish I had something for you as well, but thank you so much dear. Should I open it now?” Ririka smiled lightly in response and said “Yes, that would be great.”
The box was of a very simple, yet elegant design. There was no need for wrapping paper, since it was already divine. There was a hinge on one side of it, very standard of certain single-item jewelry boxes. No sound or creaks emitted when the older woman peeled open the box, it was definitely of fine craftsmanship.
“My goodness!” Her mother exclaimed, while placing a hand over her mouth. “How much did this cost?!” She literally was in shock, as was Mary, now having seen the obviously expensive necklace that laid on the cushion. Her mother realized her mistake and began apologizing “I’m sorry, that was incredibly rude to ask, you just surprised me a great deal!”
Ririka smiled back reassuringly, “no need to apologize, Mrs. Saotome.” Mary wasn’t going to let the girl off the hook though, she decided to press her for information. “Well Ririka, how much did you spend on this gift?” She raised her eyebrow, waiting expectantly. Ririka turned to face her and said blankly “it’s only 2.2 million yen, I got it for a good price.” (2.2 million Yen equates to about $20,000 USD)
Both Mary and her mother shared the same response, their eyes almost bulging out of their heads. “2.2 Million yen?! That’s just crazy Ririka!” Mary’s face was growing red out of frustration. Ririka didn’t mention that she was going to pull a stunt like this. It was embarrassing. She has a lot of work left to put some sense into this girl.
“We need to be going now, I will see you in a couple of days Mom.” Mary saw no reason to linger, she wanted to hit the road and relax. Her mother interjected “Miss Momobami, was it? This was very generous of you, the least I could do is offer you some tea, won’t you come in?” She stepped aside to let the girl enter her home. However, Ririka waved her hand in response “I’m very sorry, but I will have to pass on your offer this time. Mary and I have a tight schedule to keep to. I would like a raincheck, though.” She smiled at the older woman and stuck her hand out to formally shake her hand goodbye. “It was a pleasure meeting you. I appreciate your letting me borrow Mary for a few days. I promise I will bring her back in one piece.” Mary stepped outside and lightly elbowed the girl. “Not funny, Ririka.”
-------------------
The driver stopped as they pulled up to the end of the driveway. Mary checked her phone, it was already 5pm and the sun would be down within an hour or two. Ririka gestured to Mary to open the door and exit the vehicle, while getting out herself. Mary followed suit and stepped out of the vehicle, being sure to grab her bags before she shut the door. She instantly felt a shiver run through her body. She’s really glad she was wearing a winter coat like Ririka suggested. Mary wasn’t sure what to expect when she was invited up to the Momobamy family lodge in the mountains.
“Jesus Christ woman!” Mary gawked at the sheer amount of baggage that the girl brought with her. “It’s just a week, why on Earth did you bring so much?!” Ririka looked at Mary with a genuinely confused look on her face. “Doesn’t everybody bring at least this much?” gesturing to the mountain of large suitcases by her feet.
“No! What would you even need this much stuff fo-.” Mary paused, deciding not to pursue her frustrations with her girlfriend. “Well, where is this grand lodge at?” She questioned. Ririka looked over on the hill to the right of them. There was a long uphill walkway, followed by a horridly steep set of stairs leading to a large lodge on the hill. Mary had to squint to really see much of it, it appeared there was a very large building there.
Mary whistled at the distance. “Yikes, that is going to take us a few minutes to get there from here.” Luckily, she packed pretty light with a backpack and a small drawstring bag. She would be all set. If they had taken a plane, her items would’ve all fit under her seat. Plus, a little workout wasn’t bad either, especially to warm up in this cold weather.
She looked over to Ririka, who was typing on her phone, and then to the black car. “So when is he going to get out and help carry your luggage up?” Ririka looked up at Mary, locking her phone and sliding it into her coat pocket. “What do you mean?” Just as she replied with another question, the sound of the car revving the motor and the snow beneath the wheels began crunching as the car started to move away from them.
Before Mary could even realize what was happening, the car was already about 60 meters back down the road and it was picking up speed. “What the hell?!” She screamed, “Who is helping with all this damn luggage?!” Her eyes flicked over to Ririka, hoping for a better answer than what she was concluding.
Ririka looked worriedly at the floor. She really wasn’t hoping to get in a fight, especially at the beginning of their getaway. At this moment, Mary realized she would be the one taking up all of the luggage. Ririka was trying to pull up one of the large suitcases and it was clear she was struggling to take a few steps at a time.
“Hey Ririka, can you just grab my two bags and take them up there? They’re pretty light and that would help me a lot.” She handed her two bags to Ririka and took the suitcase from her. Rirka looked unsure about leaving Mary to deal with the luggage alone. “You said it yourself before, I am the strongest.” Mary gave her a warm and reassuring smile, then sent her on her way.
---------
After 10 excruciating trips of carrying each suitcase up the hill individually, Mary spent. She was, however, able to take a closer look at the architectural design of the building there. She felt like she might have to scrape her jaw off the floor, because the sheer size of the building was jaw-dropping. At least, it was much greater than her expectations.
Essentially, there were three good size structures that were connected. They were modular and contemporary in design. Mary thought that the stonework was a nice touch. She leaned towards Ririka, keeping her head fixed towards the building, “this isn’t really what I expected when you said ‘small and cozy cottage.’” She scoffed at these damn rich people, showing off their wealth like this.
“Ah! So you have finally arrived with my luggage.” An all too recognizable voice, imbued with arrogance, spoke out from the front door. Mary gritted her teeth and her eyes narrowed in the direction of that girl. Oh, she was not in the mood for her shit right now. She shot a side glance at Ririka. “Why is she here?” She shouted. “What the Hell is she talking about, Ririka?” She said demandingly. Ririka began nervously playing with her hair. She could almost feel the heat emitting from Mary’s glare, which she was trying so hard to avoid.
“Well,” she stumbled “I didn’t say all those bags were only mine…” She drawled out, deciding to bravely sneak a peek at Mary for her reaction. To her dismay, Mary’s eyes were filled with a fiery wrath and her face was gnarled up. Ririka was well aware of what was to come next, Mary was surely about to fire off some choice words. It wasn’t hard to feel bad for the girl, but Ririka was in the middle of Kirari and Mary. She had no chance of winning in that situation.
She turned away and shrunk down, in the expectation of receiving the incoming onslaught from the angry blonde. To her surprise, she felt Mary’s hand softly grip her shoulder. Ririka already looked ready to cry, when she brought her eyes up to meet Mary. However, the girl had a caring smile on her face, just for her.
“Ririka, can you do me a favor and point out which of this luggage is yours?” She asked as she rubbed Ririka’s shoulder affectionately. “I just want to separate them into two piles, so we know which ones go where.” Ririka leaned forward into Mary’s touch, to which Mary replied with wrapping her arms around the girl. She really did have a soft spot for this girl. A really big one. For her sister, Kirari, however, oh not in the slightest.
Ririka pointed out which ones to separate and it turns out that Ririka’s pile was only about 30% of the total amount of luggage. Mary quickly moved all of Ririka’s luggage a few feet away from Kirari’s. Then she started moving Kirari’s luggage about 20 meters over to where the hill they were on, met with the steep slope towards the road.
“I’m sure you’re aware that I won’t be staying over there, Mary. Why don’t you bring it over that way?” She ordered, while gesturing to the most luxurious looking entrance on the left. “Oh, I'm afraid I'm not obligated to help you. I’m just separating them.” She said as she walked back over to Kirari’s pile, and simultaneously pushed the whole lot of them down the hill. Some raced down faster than others, they were practically sledding down the snowy hill.
Mary then picked up Ririka’s luggage and started heading towards the central villa entrance. “Well, I think I’m going to enjoy some rest now. See you later!” She boasted back to Kirari, with a wide smile across her face. She felt so victorious over that detestable girl. It was well worth the physical pain and humiliation from before. She was giddy inside, thinking about how Kirari would have all that, but tenfold!
Ririka nodded in greeting her sister, then hurried along after Mary. Kirari was left alone, standing there in shock. She collected herself, after a few moments of staring in disbelief. “Well, I never could have expected she would have gone and done something like that but knowing her, she isn’t one to ever submit to my orders unless she has to.” she clutched at the empty air in amusement, a smirk tugging at the corner of her mouth.
“Oh Sayaka, can you come over here?” She called over to their villa. The girl quickly appeared and marched right over to Kirari, she was prepared to wait on her hand and foot it seemed. “Could you help me with my luggage?” Kirari gestured to the luggage that had toppled down the hill, sitting in piles of snow. “It seems that I have dropped it and I’m not sure I could get it all by myself.”
Sayaka looked quizzically at the piles down the hill. She couldn’t help but wonder how it all got there, but that mattered not. There was no way she would submit the older girl to such a task, one that was far beneath her. "Of course President," she piped up, "I will make sure that all of your luggage makes it safely to your quarters!"
She was ready to go right down there and get to work, but stopped when she heard Kirari clicking her tongue. "Sayaka, you should know better than that by now I would hope. That just won't do. I am no longer the President, so you must call me something else." She approached Sayaka with a smile on her face. Sayaka felt her face grow warm even before Kirari's fingertips made contact with her skin.
“But President, what else can I call you?" With apprehension, she looked up at the older girl. "Well, I do have a name, afterall. What do you think?" Sayaka faltered back "but I... President that's too.." Kirari shook her head in response. “Too what?” She questioned back. “Too informal? Sayaka, I regret to inform you that I no longer require your services as my secretary." Sayaka's heart panged in her chest so violently, she thought she would fall over right there. Her mind was running at a mile a minute, as sweat began dripping down her face. She questioned if this was the end. How did it come to this?
"Mmmm." Kirari vocalized in an unapproving tone. "My dear Sayaka, you're taking things too literally again. You already assumed that I would have no use for you now, being that I’m not the President any longer.” She folded her arms together and began tapping her index finger on her other arm. “Well I suppose you’re right in one sense. While I don’t need a secretary now, I suppose I have never had a girlfriend before.” She paused and looked at Sayaka “Wouldn’t that be nice, Sayaka?”
“Girlfriend??” She repeated back and her mind exploded. Poor Sayaka, there was probably no coming back from that bombshell. Everyone else knew, but for Sayaka to hear her wildest dreams be asserted by the one she loves, verbally. It was game over.
----------
Mary was grinning ear to ear once she entered the villa, feeling that she had been victorious over that wretched girl. She may look identical to Ririka, but she couldn’t feel more opposite about the two. She set the bags down in the corner and took her boots and coat off.
“Mary~!” An excited voice came from her right. Before Mary could even look at the girl, she was quickly wrapped in a big hug. “I’ve missed you, Mary! I’m so glad we get to play together a bit on our break!” Mary felt like the life was being crushed out of her. She pried the raven-haired girl off of her and blushed in frustration. “Yumeko! I told you no hugs!” She reprimanded back. “Oh Mary, you’re so stingy.” Yumeko pouted.
Ririka just closed the door behind her as she entered the foyer. Mary looked over to Ririka, with a questioning look on her face. “You neglected to tell me that she was also invited.” nudging at Yumeko. “Don’t forget about me!” Itsuki yelled as she popped her head around the corner from the kitchen. Mary pinched the bridge of her nose and ignored everyone. This is not going to be a quiet vacation, afterall.
Later that evening, everyone gathered in the living room. Yumeko brought out wine glasses for everyone that were filled to the brim, and suggested they all play a drinking game. “Here Mary, that is the last glass of champagne, but don’t drink any yet!” Mary nodded, “As if I care.” Ririka rubbed the blonde’s knee, in an effort to get her to play nice. “Let’s just have some fun tonight, Mary. We came all this way out here.”
“Bullshit! That’s the name of the game. The six of us will sit around in a circle and play.” Yumeko announced, as she sat down in a chair she pulled up to the coffee table. Itsuki also brought up a chair, though she didn’t seem too happy about it. “Why do those four get the nice couch seats and we have to sit in these uncomfortable wooden chairs?” She cried, looking mournful at her predicament. Everyone seemed to ignore her, but she knew her ass was going to hurt later tonight.
Kirari and Yumeko almost tied for first place as they ran out of cards quickly into the game. Itsuki wasn’t far behind as she laid down her last card after three more rounds. Mary and Sayaka had been going at it for at least fifteen minutes, but not much progress has been made on either side. Mary had a few more cards than Sayaka and that put her in a bad position. In this game, whoever is left with all the cards is the biggest loser.
Kirari nudged Yumeko with her elbow as they watched Mary still in the game with Sayaka, the last two remaining players. “I am curious.” She whispered. Yumeko hmm’d a response back. “Why is it that you told Mary that was champagne, the rest of us were very well aware that it was just sparkling grape juice.” Yumeko turned her head to Kirari slightly, her eyes sparkled “Well it is more fun that way of course! I want Mary to loosen up, this is vacation after all.” she divulged her secret and Kirari replied “Ah, so that’s why. How interesting. I think I’m going to have to meddle in this game, though.” She smiled back.
Kirari walked over and sat down next to Sayaka again. In fact, she was incredibly close. The other girl was very aware of the sudden proximity of Kirari. She lost focus on the game in front of her, as Kirari snaked a hand around her waist and pulled them even closer. Losing round after round, she was accumulating a lot of cards. This was not good. They moved on to what would be the final round. Mary seemed to be in her own drunken world, while Sayaka was hyper aware of the girl latched onto her and nothing else.
Mary placed down her last card, unchallenged, and it was over. Sayaka lost the game. Sad for her, since she initially was winning and Mary had been on a losing streak that night. She didn’t even pay any mind to her loss, as Kirari leaned in to whisper in her ear “I am happy to see you play with us. It is quite fun watching you play, Sayaka” she was so close to Sayaka’s ear, that the girl was trembling at vibrations against her skin. Kirari took notice and leaned in, ever so slightly, to delicately bite down on the younger girl’s earlobe.
Sayaka let out a shriek and her entire face was as red as a ripe tomato. Her breaths became labored. Kirari released her hold on the earlobe and Sayaka lost her balance, falling back on the couch. It seemed she had passed out. Kirari smiled, satisfied with her work, and cradled the back of Sayaka’s head in her hand. “You really are the best, Sayaka. One of the countless reasons why I love you” Kirari declared as she looked down at Sayaka’s face.
Sayaka’s eyes fluttered as she was coming to. She never thought she would hear her beloved Kirari ever say such words to her. They just stared into each other’s eyes with a sense of longing for one another, each in their own way. Their faces were only mere centimeters apart. “Woohoo!!!!” Their serene moment was broken by the blonde sitting across from them.
“You all can suck it! I won!” Mary apparently had a delayed reaction to winning the game. Everything was so fuzzy to her at this point. She grinned and looked over to Ririka, who was now sitting an arm’s length away from her on the same couch. “Come here, Princess!” Her grin widened as she slid over and slung her arm around the timid girl. “Where’s my prize for winning, Sweetness?” Mary inquired as she grabbed Ririka’s chin, while looking intently at her lips.
Ririka tried to turn away, as she felt her face heat up. She was blushing from ear to ear. Ririka could not believe Mary just said secret pet names she has for Ririka out loud, in front of everyone! “Mary, please calm down.” Ririka placed her hands on Mary’s shoulder and lightly pushed her away.
“What’s your problem? I thought you said you liked it when I pull you close. I give up!” Mary crossed her arms and leaned back against the couch. Kirari piped up in response. “No need to act that way, Mary. She’s allowed to push off a fake drunk. You’re being an embarrassment.” She smiled and looked directly at Mary, while her arm was around Sayaka.
“What the Hell do you mean? You saw how much I drank!” She yelled back. Kirari gestured over to Yumeko who was standing against the wall, next to the kitchen. Mary looked intensely at Yumeko. It wasn’t making sense to her. Yumeko waved back nervously and pulled out the “champagne” bottle. It was pretty clear what brand it was and they definitely don’t make any alcoholic products.
Mary gritted her teeth and narrowed her eyes back at Kirari. As if this girl hasn’t embarrassed her enough times already. She was shaking with anger. Ririka slid closer and pulled Mary into a hug. “I’m sorry Mary, I’ll make it up to you I promise.” Mary leaned away from the girl’s touch. She just wanted to be alone right now.
Ririka could feel a few tears build up, waiting to splash down her cheeks. Her breath hitched in her chest, it felt like she really was going to start crying at any moment. She quickly stood up and walked away from Mary without another word. The blonde was still stuck in her own internal rage, before she even noticed that her girlfriend left the room entirely.
She looked up and around the room. Everyone else was looking right at her and Ririka was gone. Mary knew she fucked up. She stood up “I am going outside to cool off for a few. See you guys tomorrow.” With that, she grabbed her coat and headed down the hallway. The rest could hear the door slam behind her.
Kirari waved it off, she knew they would take care of it and it wasn’t her concern. Looking back down at Sayaka she suggested “it’s about time I get you into bed, don’t you think so?” She stood up and reached her arms underneath Sayaka’s body, lifting her up from the couch. She began walking to the other hall to their room, carrying Sayaka bridal-style. The younger girl swooned and slung her arms behind Kirari’s neck as she carried her away.
Even Itsuki blushed at the romantic gesture. Who knew that the previous President was in such good physical shape? She looked over to Yumeko and they nodded in agreement that it was time to clean up and head to their own rooms for the night.
-----------
Outside the lodge, a familiar eye-patch wearing girl was prancing around in the snow. Midari giggled in delight as she finally made it up to the meeting place where she found out Yumeko would be. She grinned when she heard Yumeko’s voice coming out of the window above her. “Looks like I found you Yumeko” She laughed hoarsely, her body barely able to contain her excitement. “I’m so glad I stole that itinerary from Sayaka, since I heard you would be here.” She eyed a tree closeby where she could get a better look and began to climb it.
Yumeko stretched after a long night of fun with the other girls. It was time for bed as the festivities were over. She peeled off her shirt and stockings, then reached behind her to loosen the latch on her bra. Having removed it, she breathed out “Phew, that was just what I needed!” She heard a strange noise outside her open window. It almost sounded like some sort of deranged laughing? She didn’t know of any animals in this area that would make such a sound. It was definitely questionable.
Midari tried her best to stifle her laughs as she saw Yumeko approaching the window. The other girl leaned out her window a bit to check on where the noise might be coming from, giving Midari and eyeful. Her nose began leaking, then spurting uncontrollably blood like a waterfall. That was certainly more than Midari was expecting to catch a peek of.
Yumeko didn’t seem to find anything interesting, so she closed her window with a thud. Midari had been leaning forward on the branch as far as she could, when the vibrations of the window closing suddenly sent her over. No one else was around to hear it, but the deranged girl landed with a soft puff, into a big pile of snow.
“Yu-” she struggled to ramble on “Yumeko~” Despite her position, face right in the snow and butt in the air, she seemed very happy. The snow around her began melting at an alarming rate. Midari’s body seemed to emit a strange amount of heat when Yumeko excited her. Oh boy, was she feeling pretty excited tonight.
---------
Ririka heard the door open and the floorboards creek behind her. “Look, I’m sorry for acting out earlier and making you uncomfortable in front of everyone. I’ve been an ass.” Mary reasoned as she stepped into their bedroom, closing the door behind her. Ririka was in her nightgown, sitting on the side of bed, facing away from Mary. She didn’t respond verbally or physically to Mary’s words. Mary’s heart dropped looking at this beautiful angel, who was this upset and staring off into space.
She hazarded to approach the quiet girl and sat next to her. The foam bed was very soft and didn’t make the slightest sound as she inched closer to her girlfriend. Mary reached an arm around Ririka’s waist, but there still was no response. She moved her hand up to sweep Ririka’s hair from her face, but stopped when she made contact. Her skin was very wet.
“Have you been crying?” Mary whispered, rubbing her fingers into Ririka’s cheek. She saw the girl nod in response. Mary swung her other arm around Ririka and engulfed her in a hug. She kissed her head and made note of the fragrance. The ashen blonde hair was unbelievably soft and smelled of vanilla. She breathed in and hugged the girl even tighter.
“I love you, Ririka.” She loosened the hug, so that she could look the older girl in the eyes. The uncertain and hopeful blue eyes locked with hers. It was as if their souls had kissed. Mary brought both of her hands up to Ririka’s face and brought her close. Their lips grazed ever so slightly until Ririka leaned forward and captured Mary’s lips. They shared a quiet, yet passionate kiss.
They pulled away, their eyes were glossed over with their feelings. They needn’t say a word in this moment to feel like they understand each other perfectly. Mary’s fingers slowly traced the outside of Ririka’s ears. She brought their foreheads together, as they shared another moment of silence.
Mary pulled them both down on the bed. Laying on their sides, they just looked at one another. “You are so beautiful.” Mary spoke for the first time in what felt like ages. She reached down and brought one of Ririka’s hands up to her face, kissing it. “I love you, Ririka.” She flicked her eyes up to Ririka’s, as she grazed her lips against her hand again. “You are my Princess.”
----------
The next morning, all of the girls agreed with Kirari’s idea to have their driver take everyone to the ski resort a few miles away. They exited the front door of the lodge and began walking over to the stairs to meet the car down the hill. They stopped in their tracks when they heard a loud moaning noise coming from the side of the building. Mary was the first to venture towards the noise, her arm out shielding Ririka from a potential wild animal. She was hoping she wasn’t going to need to try fighting a bear or something.
The other girls followed suit, as they made a turn around the corner and saw Midari in an odd position. She was somehow laying on grass, even though there was snow everywhere else. “What the hell is the Pirate-looking bitch doing out here?!” Mary shouted, purposefully loud enough so Midari could hear them. The girl didn’t seem to have any coherent response though.
“What are you yelling at, Mary?” Yumeko said, her eyes cut like razors out in the general direction of Midari. Mary yelled back to Yumeko, “that girl is sitting over by your window, Yumeko. Midari, was it?” Yumeko swiftly turned around, walking back towards the stairs. “Mary, are you not feeling so well? If you keep seeing people that aren’t there, we might need to get you to a doctor. You could be sick.” Mary shrugged and grabbed Ririka’s hand, following Yumeko down to the car.
“Hmm.” Kirari sounded as she moved closer to Midari, squatting down to get closer. “I don’t believe you were invited here, Midari.” Her blue eyes seemed to absolutely glow at the other girl. “I trust you know your way back home, or else I’ll have Ririka place a restraining order against you in Yumeko’s name.” She moved Midari’s hair away from her eyes. “Of course,” she paused. “I have many other methods to make you comply, that I promise even you won’t enjoy.” Midari’s eyes scrambled around and up at Kirari. She quickly grappled her way up off the ground. “Yes! I am heading home!” She tried running through the snow and didn’t realize the steep hill beneath her.
“Oh look at that Sayaka!” She looked over to her girlfriend with a delighted smile. “It’s just like what happened with my luggage! I think we’ll leave her down there though.”
