Starting the week with too many troublesome things, my enthusiasm dropped to a degree. At least when the class officially started, Shio stopped focusing on me. What's wrong with her? She didn't reply and the next thing she did was to send me back to her room. Will she answer my question there? Maybe, she doesn't want to talk about it over the chat.
When the 1st period ended, I excused myself to go to the restroom. Err well, I got a message from Haruko to go somewhere. She said someone was waiting for me. There are only a few minutes of free time, who would want to meet me? One of her lovers?
When I opened the empty room, well, there is one here on the 1st floor. Somewhere along the storage room where the cleaning materials were stored. I marked it so I can use it in the future. There are more like this upstairs and in the other buildings. I'll ask Haruko for those, she probably already marked them during her 1st year here.
"Y-you came."
Ah. This girl. Hime. As I thought. Back when Haruko introduced her, she's not wearing her uniform so I didn't know whether she was a 2nd or 3rd year but now, yeah, that's certainly a 2nd year uniform.
"Yes. What's wrong?"
"Haru. She told me to come here."
She was fidgeting around and couldn't look straight at me. Did Haruko force her?
"Did she force you to come here?"
"N-no, I volunteered."
Ah. That girl, she wanted me to start stealing someone from her harem. And this girl was too brave to be the first sacrifice.
"Really? You can't look straight at me, you looked like you're forced to be here."
"N-no! Haru, she…"
Ah. I see. Her inner introvert is surfacing. Haruko might have helped them come out of their shell, but it's only in front of those they were familiar with. Me? I'm just a guy Haruko introduced that would steal her. That was no doubt, a bad first impression.
Haa. Is this part of her plan? To use my method to soften this girl up?
"You don't need to say more. You see, I want to steal you from her. But if you're forced to be here, then that's taking away the fun."
"N-no. I wanted to be the first. Mina, she's scared so I want to know."
Ah. Of course who wouldn't be scared if someone you love suddenly told you that you will be stolen by someone you just met. And they don't even know about the meaning of being stolen.
"I see. Can you come here? Near me. I still don't know much about you. I'll tell you what you want to know, in exchange you tell me about yourself."
"Y-you won't do anything?"
She's also scared but she steeled herself to be the vanguard against me. Ah. This girl is adorable. And her devotion towards Haruko is admirable.
"I won't. We don't have enough time so…"
"I understand."
After saying that, she took a few steps towards me. She became near enough that if I stretch my arm, I can put her in my embrace.
"You're quite adorable Hime. You can ask me now and I'll answer."
"Uhm. Do you love Haru?"
Her voice trembled a bit, she still couldn't shake off the feeling of talking to someone else.
"No. But I want her and she's mine."
"I don't understand. You only want her, why does it look like she loves you more than us?"
Hearing my answer, she raised her head and stared directly into my eyes. Ah. This girl is really brave.
"Only Haruko can answer that. It's true that I don't love her but that's because I still don't know about that emotion. Wanting her, that's all I can give to her for now and to you girls too. I want you all to be mine."
"D-don't know that emotion? That's absurd! And why do you want us too? We only love Haru, not you."
Hearing what I said about wanting them too, Hime took a step back but her eyes are still staring directly to my eyes. Maybe she's trying to find an answer there.
"Yes. I know it's absurd but that's the truth. I want you because you all ignited my desire. I don't need your love, you can continue loving her even when I successfully steal you."
"You're weird Onoda-kun. What is that desire? Why does it involve us? If we can continue loving her, then what's the point of stealing us?"
Ah. I'm being called weird again. Well, I'm already used to it. This girl has a lot of questions but yeah we're running out of time and I haven't asked mine yet.
"I know I'm weird. But Hime, we're running out of time. I won't answer that yet, it's my turn to ask you. What's your full name?"
"Unfair. I still have a lot of questions but you're right. I'm Itou Himeko, Class 2-3."
At least she accepted. I thought she wouldn't answer me but her name. Itou? How is she related to that Ojou-sama type? Ah. Now that I see it, there's a resemblance. She's the older sister? An introverted older sister. Haruko got someone from a rich family. What the hell?
"I see. What's your relationship with Itou from Class 1-3? And you can reject this but can you give me your hand?"
"She's my little sister. Why? If it's just my hand then here."
She stretched out her hand and I took it to mine. Crossing our fingers together. Though she flinched when I did that, she didn't pull it out. Haruko opened her up to this extent. That girl really is amazing.
"I see. I only saw her once but you're vastly different than her. By the way, your hand is a bit rough. Considering you're her sister, you don't look like you're as sheltered as her."
"Maaya, she's stronger than me. I'm always afraid of people but Maaya is different. Haru told me that my hand is rough as well, I tend to do everything by myself and before I knew it, it turned like that. Uhm, is holding my hand necessary?"
Slowly, she's becoming relaxed. Hmm. Her being an introvert maybe became her strongest asset. She learned to do things by herself without relying on anyone.
"That sounds admirable, to be honest. Doing everything by yourself. Yes, this is necessary. I can feel your pulse and I'm preparing you because we're going to do more than this."
"Wait, what do you mean more than this?"
Seeing the time was about to run out, I didn't answer her. Instead, I pulled her hand towards me and circle my arm to her back, taking her in an embrace. I took in her figure and her scent.
She smells sweet. At least sweet enough to make me want her. This time I really want this girl, I'll steal her to be mine. Even if she loves Haruko that doesn't really matter, Haruko is mine anyway. But yeah, I want to experience the process of stealing this girl, I'll teach her a lot of things Haruko couldn't.
"W-wait. You said you won't do anything."
She struggled but I didn't let her hand nor her body go, I kept her in my embrace. Letting her feel my desire to have her mine."
"I'm not doing anything. Don't you feel it? I really want you Himeko."
"N-no. I love Haru. I'm only for her."
I let our hands free from each other and using that free hand I raised her chin, planting my lips on hers.
Stealing a kiss like this made her flustered and the force in which she struggled grew. When she pushed me again, I let myself be pushed back.
"Y-you, why did you do that? Y-you kissed."
"I can't resist it, Himeko, I really want you. We have to go now or we'll be marked absent. See you later."
"Y-you shameless! I'll never let you steal me nor any of us! That kiss wasn't even good at all!"
"Ah. Wait for me, I'll soon give you a better kiss. Right. I decided to steal you first, Himeko. Tell Haruko I said thanks for bringing you to me."
Leaving her fuming like that, I went back to our classroom. Her lips are that soft. I wanted to do more but yeah, there's not enough time. Luckily the next teacher hasn't arrived yet.
Satsuki glared at me like she found out something. What's this girl? If you keep at that we'll be found out by the idiot behind me.
"That's a long piss, Onoda. Did you relieve yourself too?"
"Shut up, idiot. There you go again. So when will you confess to her?"
Sakuma shivered at my words. And what's wrong with this guy? He looks like someone who found his resolve yesterday and now he's back at this.
"You heard her. She bloomed like that because of a certain someone."
"And that made you scared? Sakuma. If you keep thinking like that you wouldn't have your chance."
He turned downcast and sat back down at his seat. This guy. What to do with him? Will that photo bring back his enthusiasm? If he somehow finds a resemblance to Satsuki if she edited that enough that it won't be found out that it was us, he might feel the urgency to confess to her. Thinking that might happen to her. Err. But that already happened. Well, anyway that could give him a better push than just my words.
I took out my phone and sent another message to Satsuki.
"Send the photo to everyone in class. If you can't edit it enough, I can help you. That way Sakuma won't think that it's targeted to him."
After I sent that message, the next teacher arrived and the 2nd period started.
Only when that ended did Satsuki's reply arrive.
"Who did you meet earlier? You smell sweet. That's not your scent. Ah. Anyway leave the edits to me, pervert. Now I need to make sure they won't know it's us. I don't want other people seeing my body. Only you and Sakuma can."
"Sweet? I just went to the restroom. Okay. That might give him a push if he saw that photo. Just don't let it be traced back to you."
"Liar, pervert. Come with me later at lunch, I'll remove that scent on you. Don't worry about it. Anyway I blame you for all this. I've really turned this weird that even thinking of doing things like this is making me excited."
"How did you even pick that scent up? Alright, I kinda miss your taste too Satsuki. Keep blaming me, but don't show that side of yours to others, you're mine."
"You don't know? Even last week and yesterday, I can pick up different scents on you. You pervert. You're hiding something from me but I don't care. Me being yours while I love Sakuma this deep is weird as well. Tell me all about it soon. I want to know."
This girl, so she knew. Haa. And here I worry how I will tell her about my desire. Though she changed this much after she started being this honest with me, I still feel the same fulfillment of desire I got from her from our first contact.
She's only like this when we're alone or there's no other party involved. But outside, she's still the same foul mouthed Satsuki. Err. Earlier was kind of special though.
"My Satsuki is this sharp. Alright. I'll tell you what I'm hiding later. And after that, I'll ask you again if you still want to be mine."
Right. I'll give her this choice. If knowing my desire will make her back away from me then I wouldn't force her like how I forced those girls who left before. Err. It's a shame, yes, but yeah I'm slowly changing but this desire to have her isn't. I might work on her slowly again if ever she decided to back away. Ah. She's still the greatest catch I ever had.
"Pervert Ruki. What did you do to me? I can't stop thinking about yesterday."
"Don't worry, it'll soon pass. We'll make more memories together, Satsuki."
When she read that, her foot stomped on mine stealthily. This girl. I glanced at her and saw her blushing at her seat. I wanted to reach my hand to that luscious thigh of hers and rub it but yeah, I can't do that here, when Sakuma is just behind us. He's probably watching her even now.
Will he start to suspect something or? He probably loves her as much as she loves him otherwise, this guy would've already dated someone else.
Now I wonder why he was always rejected. Satsuki mentioned they get creeped out by him but maybe those girls saw that his eyes were only for one person. And that may be the case for Satsuki too.
These two. I'm sorry for getting in the way of your supposed pure love. But Satsuki's mine now and I won't just hand her to anyone else. Sakuma can date her and that's all he can get.
After a while, the 3rd period started. The day is still long and I still have a lot to do. There's Andou and Mori. And Shio. I'm getting hungry already. And I miss Akane's voice. Ah. That silly girl.
