//CLOSED// Enjoying a night swim [LAZ]

Drifting through the water was a new and curious feeling. Liquid air was all water basically was anyway , and in a sense swimming was like flying. It was the closest you could get to the birds while still being on the ground. Of course you couldn't see the land below you as small as ants while you had the rush-like feeling of soaring , nothing between you and the ground but your ambitions and dreams. Swimming was different because you were suspended in the air. You did not glide through it as if you were falling with style through nothing. There was nothing below you that was like tiny civilizations. That was a lie however. In some places swimming could contest flying in a way that being in the air couldn't dream of competing with. Taking a coral reef for example , one could find themselves in a whole new world. A world they were not apart of until they dived deep in and became merged with this alien place.


Unlike flying , swimming was devoting yourself to a alien world. A world with new limits , new requirements , new dangers and wonders. Crusing through a coral reef is like taking a trip to the moon and wandering it's surface , except a reef is actually home to strange and odd creatures. Some people could handle being in this world were air is in the water all around you , sunlight is muted , and colors are everywhere. Valina couldn't. Unlike some people who's human drive urges them on to see , explore , and push themselves into new worlds were one isn't born into , Valina had a deep seated fear of it. It being new made her curious. But also afraid. She couldn't breathe the water. She could not see all the colors in the muted light. And she had no defense against the predators that swam in the beautiful shadows of the underwater kingdom. As curious as she was she was also fearful.


And why not? Most things were scared of the unknown. And what was better then water? Space probably comes to mind more so then the depths of the ocean , but empty space isn't as scary at to what is in your backyard that you have no clue about. Hidden in rifts were modern day monsters and demons locked away by the planet's will and whim. Perhaps one day someone will reach the cusp of the rift and witness things that would make all of man wish that they had left it well enough alone , but it could be too late. The unknown was all around in the water. One had to watch under and over , side to side , and feel the currents to be even remotely aware. There was no such thing as safe. Water. Water is a terrifying thing. Yet beautiful. Every beauty has their thorns. Some just have more then others. And speaking about thorns...

Valina's nails didn't let go of Riley's flesh. The poor boy would just have to endure since he made no attempt to un-lodge her nails. There was no way she could think of that she would let go. That was to be proven wrong as Riley got near the edge. That flipped a switch in her head that couldn't be ignored. FREEDOM. Free from this watery prison she was in right now , clung to her....ladder. Did her mind just utter Ladder? Yes it did. Captial L.A.D.D.E.R. Ladder. Riley's calming worlds were taken in but not recognized. The nuzzle and pat and all the comfort he was giving her at the moment was on the back burner of her mind. Right now , that pool side looked really appealing to her.So much in fact that as the boy tried to grasp her , she had her own plans.

Her nails suddenly dislodged from her back , attempting to settle her palms lightly onto his shoulders. Nimbly , her legs arched up , seeking his body to push against , and if allowed , her shoe's would for only a moment alight in the curve of his hips. Love handles? Pft , stepping stools on her way for freedom. As she attempted her own escape , if he didn't freak out , she pushed off , her from skyrocketing up and for a moment the lucky boy got a faceful of her chest. Firm b cup bust mashed there for only a second as if it was giving him a kiss on the cheek for being such a good sport. Then , one hand attempted to remove from his shoulders , onto his head , the other would try and follow , and nimbly her lower body would leap up , her knee's coming down onto his shoulders ever so lightly. As if kneeling , she would try and adjust a foot to be standing on one of his shoulders. If all went well , the girl would push off as if leaping from a crouched position and would land with hardly a sound on the pool edge. Standing there with a pause , only long enough to shake her head wildly to free water from the heavy strands of pink hair. All of this took a matter of seconds for the girl to complete if all went well and Riley didn't flail and cause her to topple into the water again.

Once she got her wild shake down down , she stood there , arms apart from her body in the way people did to try and not like soaked clothes touch them. Frowning at her situation , she'd kick off her shoes and try and wiggle out of her socks. Being handed a towel would be met with a smile , and the attempt at helping her by ruffling her hair would be rewarded with giggles. Apperently she wasn't as tramatized as some might think. But , that was just her nature. Scary and bad things happened so people could appreciate the good things in life so much more , or so she thought. She wouldn't mind being cuddled a bit , since she was cold. However...as the towel ruffled at her she peeked around for a larger one , grasping it in her free hand , while one started to try and peel her soaked shorts down and her leggings , having apperently no shame in the action of stripping down and wrapping herself in a towel , confirmed by the way she was trying to pry herself out of her wet and baggy clothing-

As he was waddling into the water, he thought trying to help her was the best methodolgy to getting her off of his back. That was wrong. As soon as his hands tried to put her above his body, the crazy pink girl used his body as a clmbing post to get out of the water asap. He would ruffle his own hair with spite, but he would accept all the maneuvers rather well. She was being rather adorable for a springing girl, and he had expected her to freak out. Nevertheless, he was at the pool side with the towel in hand, trying to dry off her hair. Backing off, he watched her doing a fairly decent wiggle under another towel. "What are you doing?" Giving a light chuckle, he attempted to reach forward to grab the towel she hung closely to her body. "Mind if I hold this up?" It would give her free reign to do as she pleased with both hands so that she would not trip and fall on herself. Nevertheless, as soon as his eyes darted to what she was doing, he turned away with a light chuckle, trying to hold the towel up for her.

Trying to yank off wet clothing with one hand was a hard task. Have you ever tried to rip off wet leggings with one hand? It was like having a suction cup engulfing your leg. So when the attractive male offered to hold up the towel as a sort of curtain , she paused her actions to look at him with her blue eyes. As the eyes peeked at him for a moment , her lips curled into a pleasant smile , coupled with a pleasant nod , and topped off with a pleasant giggle as she held out the towel to him to take." Thank you! That'll help alot. My clothes are sticking to me and there wet..." Her bubbly voice got the sort of disgusted tone one had when taking out perhaps some sort of disgusting waste or trash. After he accepted the towel , she went to town on getting herself on the high road to dry town.


Now with both hands free the slender girl could do what needed to be done. Arching her hips up from a sitting position , heels digging into the ground a bit to prop her lower half up , her back supporting her , she wiggled the leggings off and let them hit the ground with a wet plop. After that , the jangling of chains could be heard , as well as a zipper being undone. The shorts she wore soon joined her stocking at her side with the same wet sounding flop. The girl now bottomless besides a simple pair of striking black panties paused for a moment. Creamy legs extended out , damp and glistening a bit with the residue moisture on them , she shook them a bit as if it really would make them dry. Shifting her lithe body once more she let herself sit up a bit more and shred her sweater with perhaps the most audible flop. The cute and baggy sweater now was like shedding a ten pound wet weight from her. The shirt came next, being yanked over her head with a sudden tug , causing the strands of her hair to become ruffled and unruly when the shirt came off.


Sitting in her underware , which to the amusement of herself and others , didn't match , she sat there shivering slightly , wondering what to do. The solid black pair of simple panties was offset by the bright pink bra she wore, making her color scheme true and tried , all the way to the last drop. The delicate body structure of the fit figured girl was on display. From the silken skin curving about her sides , hips , her taunt tummy , and upwards , she was still damp. What happened next was probably something of a culture shock to some , bizzare , or unmodest. Valina's hands went from supporting herself to around her back , nails tracing along the soft flesh as it made their way to the hooks settled between her shoulderblades and a bit down. They found their gateway , and passed all clearance. She deftly unhooked the bra , letting it just go lax. Hands pulling away from her back one grasped her bra and gave it a casual toss to the side. The smaller bust she sported was victim to gravity once , giving a firm shapely bounce before they settled like perfect molds , bouncing a bit as she leaned her body forward to slip her panties up and along her legs , over her knees and her wiggling toes to join the pile of clothing. She was nude besides her bracelet , and she seemed to not have any desire to take that off.


Finally done , she attempted to take the towel away from Riley , giving him a cheerful grin while she would use it to wrap herself up inside it. The other towel she'd place on the ground and make a sort of nest like bed out of it. Then , oddly , Valina would just tip onto her side into it , curling up into a ball that percieved the world as being on it's side. Content to just be warm and drying right there." Thank you! This feels alot better now."

Riley's words ringing out to her would only be acknowledged by an arm raised high in the air over Laura's head as she reached the exit, a quick wave of her hand being given as if to say "see ya" without really saying anything at all. Laura's pace never slowed in the least up until the instant that familiar female voice licked first at her ears as she stepped across the threshold of the doorway, and then at her spine as each word danced along its regal length. Laura spun on her heels, that raised hand dropping down and catching the edge of the door just before it closed behind her and swinging it open wide as she stepped through it once more.

Leave it to Lillian to be the one to know just what to say to cause Laura to stop dead in her tracks and retrace her steps back to the pool, dark eyes blazing dangerously as she set her gaze upon the one female who had incited this sudden shift in mood. "What did you say to me?" Laura asked incredulously as she neared the group of kids who had already climbed out of the pool, both hands going up to collect her flowing, lavender tresses before sweeping their length behind her narrow shoulders. Laura paid no obvious attention to the towel-holding Riley or the unfamiliar girl with the pink hair who was hidden behind that makeshift screen as she easily side stepped both, making certain to also dodge the heap of wet clothing laying in a pile near the other two's feet.

Laura really had no reason to ask Lillian what she had just spoken to her because the words kept repeating themselves in her head, but the girl just had to hear LIl say them once more while she was within arm's reach and could look the other female directly in the eye.

“Laura Lye. If you don’t so much as get your ass back into this pool with everyone else I am going to ensure you will not be able to sit for a week. If you leave me hanging.. I swear… it will be the last time….”

Laura's feet only came to a stop when she stood before Lillian so closely that her chest heaved against the other girl's with every breath that she took, her head tilted downwards so that her gaze was locked steadfastly with the shorter girl's, the tips of their noses nearly brushing against one another as Laura spoke, "Oh? Is that so? And, do tell, how do you plan on making sure I can't sit for a week, sweetness?" One hand lifted from Laura's side, slender fingers easing forward with a subtle eagerness to tease across the wet material molded around the other girl's hip and draw her even closer.

Laura tilted her head just a bit, dipping it lower still until the fullness of her lips came within a hair of grazing along the side of the other's throat just below her sensitive lobe before continuing to whisper, "That sounds more like a wicked lil' promise to me, doll. Be careful, or I'll see that you keep it, too." Laura stepped back from Lillian, though one hand would continue to linger at the other girl's hip. Still, it was enough of a distance set between them that Lillian would be able to see that mischievous smile of Laura's playing deliciously across her full, ripe lips.

Laura winked at the girl standing in front of her, this time letting her gaze drift slowly up and down the other's drenched form as that soaked, black night gown clung to Lillian's frame in the most scintilating way. "I don't think you'll have to worry too much with me leaving you hanging again, darlin'..." Laura began teasingly, "...but I might feel the inclination to tie you down and make you squirm."

Laura laughed aloud, feeling very much like her old self once more as she turned away from Lillian and headed towards Riley and the pink hair cutey, stopping short as she reached down and swiped up the wet, discarded clothing that was laying forgotten on the floor. She wrung the entire pile between her hands, seemingly oblivious to the water splashing atop her feet as she did so. "Don't mind if I hang these up to drip dry, do you?" she asked the unfamiliar girl as she trapsed over to a nearby railing and began shaking each piece out individually without waiting for a reply. Meticulous care was given to the girl's clothing as Laura drapped her leggings across the rail first, then her shorts with the dangling chains. Laura twisted another five pounds of water out of the sweater before shaking it back out and laying it out flat on the bleachers, looking over her shoulder to the girl as she did, "Wouldn't want to stretch that by hanging it with the rest." Delicate was her touch as she fingered the black panties and pink bra remaining in her grasp, admiring the simplistic detail of each. "Just lovely..." she commented, placing both pieces over the railing next to the girl's shorts.

When Laura turned around, she looked to the two kids still in the pool, her smile growing almost shy in origin as she waved at both Arik and Kazumi, the hint of a blush kissing her cheeks as her eyes lingered on Kazumi's pretty face and damp, strawberry curls. Laura walked back over to the edge of the pool and flopped down unceremoniously, both legs dangling in the water nearly up to her knees as she smoothed her hands up and down atop her jean clad thighs. "Seems we all have a bit of catching up to do, huh?" she asked no one in particular, her gaze drifting to everyone gathered around but lingering on none. "You guys don't ask me any questions, and I won't ask any either...I'm just glad to be back. No other place has ever felt so much like home."

Valina's position on the floor didn't leave her with much of a view point at to where the woman that spoke those cryptic words to her went. The girl's eyes were scanning the pool in a sort of distracted way , skimming the water's skin with the simple look one would give the sky while in thought. So much has happened since she stepped inside here. She liked it.It was a mix of what she was told it would be like , and what she wanted it to be. School seemed to be something she could deal with. However , her brain filled with the simple background image of the water it began to drift from it's happy thoughts , leave never-never land , and plop itself right into the muck filled worry-thinking of "...What did that one woman mean...and why was she so sad?" That thought stayed in her head for a good while compared to her usual thought process. Face on screensaver , she was smiling like a doll. A warm and still smile locked there forever while her brain was lost in thought.


What snapped her away from her brain buffet of bitter-sweet thought was that the same woman was making her way back. Each step made the girl be pulled away from her thoughtful embarkment into herself , and be brought back to the land of the living. The frozen smile melted and her lips somewhat relaxed while her smile grew unsure. Why was she coming back? She seemed to be unhappy and perhaps angry. Valina didn't mind if she did come back , not at all , She herself was the queen monarch of social butterflies. It just seemed like the girl was...she didn't know how to put it into words. So she just watched , curiously , and cautiously , as the girl stepped close to Lilian and engaged in her almost succubus styled taunting , that seductive and sarcastic taunting that instead of being intimidated was more so amused or wanting of the threat. The now naked girl watched with a sort of wonderment. This behavior was new and different which made her curious. Eyes watching every movement she could percieve she whispered slowly to Riley , trying to be quiet and not disturb the activity of the two." What are they doing....? Is that girl sad anymore?"


The child like concern for the other's emotional well being was a valid and important topic to Valina. She wasn't sure what she was supposed to do about it. She herself wasn't shy in anyway and probably she'd have given the other a hug or at least tried to comforted her in any way she could have attempted to , but the comment made confused her. She wasn't sure how to take it. So she held back for now letting the words play through her head with a grain os mystery flavoring it. Which could be why she didn't realize that her clothing was getting scooped up by the same girl and was now being fused with , wringed at ,hung to dry and smoothed about with utter care. The pink haired youth watched as if a dinosaur was doing her laundry for a moment , surprise evident on her face. Then her lips turned into a full and rich smile , pleasant intentions sparking about her full soft toned lips.


" Thank you for hanging them up! They got really heavy....I hope they don't stretch , then they might fall off me, hee!" The comment about her underwear didn't catch her as being a odd comment , or an shameful one , so her reply was just as cheery." I think so too! I was in a panty store and they didn't have purple , pink , an' black underwear so I had to get too different ones.All the lace and stuff is distracting...so I got them. I like them , they're soft. " And indeed they were. Simple and sure. That's how Valina worked. Well , mostly anyway. As Laura crept to the pool's edge the pink haired girl started to wiggle like a inch worm. The distance between them was slowly crossed by the odd full body wriggle the towel clad girl gave while on her side. It took her a few moment's to get there , but soon Laura would have a cautious and warm face smiling up at her from her side while it cautiously asked once more"Why are you sad...and what did you mean when you said that to me?"

Splash Splashy well at least that was the scene had sort of erupted into, all the failing and tossing up of water the delicate balance of everything was broken. Standing there only about a couple of arm lengths away from Riley as he was holding on to that precious little furball, this one was a bit more animalistic than the norm. Which brought a turn about of different questions, and the adoring of that bracelet, there was another story to this, as there was with every student in HHSR. Things never seemed to stop amazing her around his place keeping her arms at water level she continued to smooth out the water’s ripples listening to the two behind her. Her eyes every now and then looking back through her peripheral vision keeping tabs on what exactly was going on between the two, the pink tinted female was actually very appealing to the eyes. Though she would never mask the attention that Kazumi and Laura aroused in her, but there was something there that inched her to wanting to know more. A twisted smirk stay on her lips as she continued towards the side of the pool, the glance of her eyes wondered in the corner of Arik and Kazumi wondering if the two actually had lost their clothing yet.

A slight frown tinted on her lips of course they were just working their way back down into the pool she was surprised a bit that Kazumi had not said anything when Laura came into the room, maybe she was still hurting of the fact? Hearing the light commentary about her remark about staying wet came from the kitten that scarlet muscles teased its way over the puffs of her lips. This entire situation was getting better and better. Two strong suits that is who she was trying to find out of this bunch though she did already have in mind who it would be without even a second thought. Heading towards the steps of the pool for there was no one else on the sidelines anymore to help pull her up, for Laura was all the way down the hall last time she checked. Too bad that little set up could prove very interesting to say the least. The water line was now up to her knee caps though it seemed that Riley stayed in the deeper parts of the waters with the kitten.

Only for a second did those eyes slant in his direction as he went to hoist her up, only to see her play a bit of a game of leap and bound. Foot met the first stair hearing Riley call back out to her “wow, that was quick” she thought, like a little boy with a toy Riley stood there with Valina. Shaking her head lightly at the sight, it should have been a Kodak moment to say in the least. Clearing all three steps she looked towards the other side of the pool pulling both fingers in the corners of her mouth, taking in a large breath of air and quickly exhaling in as a whistle would feel and echo the hall, if they two were trying to keep things secret the play time was now noticed. Cupping her hands in a playful cheering type of way she chanted “GO ARIK!”giggling of course that was a bit obnoxious of her something more along the lines that Riley would do. There was no being quite when she was around, that was for damn sure.

Coming up the last two steps until both her balance and feet planted themselves on the side of the pool, the night gown clung so tightly to her body that ever ripple of her muscles could be seen. The tightness’ of her abs along with that firm backside. The pert nipples now were hardening against the airs breath bringing her arms above her head stretching before deciding which direction to go. Riley seemed preoccupied with the disrobing kitten, of course it was fine no efforts had been shown to peek her curiosity there, at least for that time frame. It was only then did she even notice that Laura Lye had actually made it back into the room, a devious little smirk twisted on her lips very surprising she could be at times herself, not one to really double cross without some type of punishment in the mix.

A pile of cloths occupied the floor her eyes roamed over the different garments as if wondering what all was left on that furry ones body. Actually there was hardly anything left that could have been from what she remembered her wearing. Riley was standing there holding the town her eyes shot up to him briefly before hearing that seductive little banter coming from the side. Her arms found their way over her chest which, seemed nearly poking out from the v shaped neck. It was held so tightly against her frame now nothing seemed to matter as the droplets of water started to pool around her feet. Biting the back of her teeth she nearly bucked at the words that Laura spoke like a bronco trying to be tamed by novice rider she spoke once more. “ I do not think I have to repeat myself, for you already know what was spoken you do not need confirmation which is why you stand in front of me. “ Waving her hand playfully in the area before her knowing exactly what she was nearly asking for but, she kept her distraction.

A breath apart she soon closed in the space which she had no doubt in the back of her mind that she would feeling the softness of the breast attempt to touch her own by the very breaths the chest chamber held. Her eyes did not divert to her feet but she could feel the water’s droplets swish between her toes. Watching each and every stroke the beauty before her seemed to try place she kept a very calm face, as the hand made its movement towards her hip her own hand moved outwards and gripped it holding it back from its destination. Keeping her hand from touching her, while her head turned towards the side as she spoke so that the lips would not touch against her ears, she smirked inside however on the out she kept her posture and held Laura Lye at bay, her words caused her own toes to curl with the ideas, she stepped back once more from one of the most beautiful women she had ever come in contact with and spoke.


“I will do exactly as I said. Promises are never meant to be broken, I always hold up true to my end of the bargain Laura Lye.”


Of course this bit show of testy behavior was only normal for she did leave the girl hanging by myself, without giving her am explanation things were not going to just hope right back on the tracks, a little was going to have to play in her favor before she would digress. Placing those arms back over her chest listening to her next words of “tying her up and making her squirm” chuckling a bit as she stood there and spoke. “ I do believe, that the only one between the both of us that would be tied up and made to squirm would you be you.” Those gentle violet eyes stared back at her, yet only giving her about a seconds response, such was the way of a dominate female. Thinking that she could easily get Tristan to help her with such an affair if Riley chose not to help in the measure; unknowing exactly how Laura would take the behavior would a grain of salt would be fitting for the situation. That smile never seemed to leave the surface of her lips though watching her as she headed towards the couple, she whispered to herself softly “ Good to have you back, Laura Lye..”


The fix of this entire situation was rather simple was she brave enough to take things to the next level she would have to be smart if she did. Leaving the scene of Laura carefully walking past the on coming kitty she was pretty sure that Riley may or may not follow. The deep end of the pool it was calling to her to dive into the bottom, to feel the pressure of the water against her body she loved it secretly. Tossing those violet strands across her shoulders looking back towards Riley with that near ‘dare me’ smirk. Passing the numbers along the pools edge 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 nine foot of water was the best way to dive is not deeper. Without hesitation she pulled that soaked gown off her body tossing it to the side bouncing twice on the tips of her toes bringing her arms forward just at her ears she leapt forward hitting the waters surface like a hot knife through butter, only the waters ripples in her wake. Blushing severely under the water as she touched the bottom did she really just do that? Blinking her eyes open under the water well on but one way up.

Giving a slight nod, he was rather thankful that he was going to help the girl in her little event, trying his best to keep wandering eyes away from that tantalizing flesh that the clothing molded so perfectly to pinkie's body. " Thank you! That'll help a lot. My clothes are sticking to me and there wet..." With a light wink, he gave her a quick one moment gesture as he stretched the rather large towel around pinkie's body. This, of course, hid most of her body to the general eye... but anyone with a fast eye could catch a glimpse of her by simply walking within 5 feet and looking down the towel. "Alright, now you may feel free to do what you are doing..." To be honest, all he did was turn away. As much as he wanted to catch a glimpse of the color of her panties or shirt, he felt a dear obligation to keep a perversive mind at bay... just this once. With a light gulp, his eyes slid clothes as she struggled haphazardly to take off all her clothes.

His eyes would only open to the paddle of feet approaching from across the yard. Turning his head once more, he allowed his eyes to open to catch a glimpse of that ever devious female coming back from wince she left. Giving a light chuckle, he tilted his head in Laura's direction. "Seems like you just can't stay away eh?" With a light chuckle, he glanced down to catch a glimpse of the kitten taking off her bra and showing him a nice set of B breasts. "Oh shit!" He called out rather silently for the adventurous type like Riley. He did like what he saw, as a light dribble of blood oozed down his nose. Using his other hand, he wiped it away quickly before anyone else caught a glimpse. Luckily the blood did not smear under his nose, so it was not so obvious from before. Watching pinkie do a final wiggle, he darted his attention away once more... catching a glimpse at all of her clothes. Damn, she did wear a lot for the summer time.

"Don't mind if I hang these up to drip dry, do you?" A head darted towards Laura's direction, thankful for the temporary distraction. As he started to say "Hey, thanks for helpi-" he was caught off when Laura bent over to pick up the matching panties and bra. Wow, it was heating up rather fast. Shaking his head, he could not help it as a light huge of red blessed themselves across his cheeks. Once more, it was he who felt a little out of place as the girls continued to torment him without directing anything towards Riley in particular. Maybe God designed them in this fashion so that men would always forever be taunted by the female species. Such slender legs, innocent forms, flat stomachs... nice breasts - he pinched his thighs, now was NOT the time to be thinking these thoughts. He did NOT want to get another boner.

Turning his head towards Valina, he felt the towel tug from his grasp. Looking down to the fully wrapped pinkie who was slowly getting comfortable, he had to let a light laugh escape his lips. "Alright, you are welcome." No matter what the case, he had to admit Valina was rather adorable snuggled up in the towels. Once more, he had to hold back an inward awe that he wanted to express so easily. Valina did look cute in her own special way, like a new born baby or a little kitten. He would never admit it openly, but he always had a strong spot for a baby kitten. They were always so cute-“ I do believe, that the only one between the both of us that would be tied up and made to squirm would you be you.” Jarred from his thoughts, his eyes darted towards Lillian and Laura... who were becoming rather close for two normal females in his opinion. This, of course, sparked millions of thoughts in his mind that made him want to jump into a pool of ice to kill such perverse thoughts. But what could you expect, Lillian was practically naked and the two females were torn from the same cloth. He had to admit, they would make a lovely pair in the near future.

Turning his attention towards the kitten, he briskly walked over to hear "Why are you sad...and what did you mean when you said that to me?" Instead of answering for Laura, he merely bent over and attempted to pat the poor kitten on the head. She was being too sweet for words. Shaking his head, he had to finally take notice to Lillian who was dripping wet from the waters. Making sure to hold his jaw in place before it dropped in mere shock, the droplets of water that fell off of Lillian caused his head to spin. Now this, Riley proclaimed in his mind, WAS A GIFT FROM GOD! As much as he wished to say it, his expression across his face explained it all at once to anyone who was looking at his surprised expression. Giving Lillian a nod of approval, he gave her a thumbs up from afar. Why the hell not, Lillian looked beautiful in the dripping night gown. It matched her skin perfectly, and he loved to see that slim but powerful figure. There was more than meets the eye, it seems.

He must of missed the 'dare me' look that spread across her face, as his eyes darted in utter shock when he watched Lillian toss the night gown aside and dove into the pool. Did he... did he? DID HE JUST SEE BOOBS FOR THE SECOND TIME TODAY!? Turning his head, he was almost waiting for Laura to strip off her top and follow suit. Instead, he shook his mind and did what any man would do if he saw an event such as this. He immediately broke into a bolt, rushing across the pool line. His feet paddled harshly against the cool and wet cement, making tracks as he watched the numbers climb up easily. 7...8...9! Witnessing Lillian slowly climbing to the surface, Riley did not hesitate as he performed a rather quick impromptu skimming dive into the pool. His body ruptured the quiet waters quickly, as he dove beneath the surface to catch up with the daring female. Opening his eyes in the water, he tries his best to catch up with her... paddling hard and fast. Kicking with his feet and using his arms, he manages to make it clear across the pool rather quickly. Catching a glimpse of a cute butt under the water, he reaches forward and attempts to catch the now naked Lillian and tries to pull her close in the waters. His boldness did not come without some common sense, as his other hand would reach out and grab the side of the pool... attempting to hold them both up in the calming waters.

His breath escaping as he tries to pull the wild Lillian close to his body, his chest heaving lightly from the built up excitement. "Gotcha..." He would proclaim victory before hand, his hand trying to ensnare around her waist and pull her closer to his body.

Shuichi had been walking the grounds on one of his midnight ramblings. Sleep was not his friend again this night and he needed to burn off some energy or maybe just find a way to relax. He had tried soaking in the tub, but it only left him more awake than when he started. Who know why the warm water did that. Usually it was just what he needed. Still tonight, he found his mind was filled with thoughts of the past. One thought to be exact, "I'm not running off...I'm walking. Trust me, you'll thank me later. Damn, though, I sure would love to stay awhile and just....," she had said. And that was the last words he had heard from her..until...until this morning. He had nearly fall on his face when he had turned to see her in the office.

His mind was still trying to make sense of everything when he saw a door open. It was the door to the pool if he was correct. And who was standing there but her. He saw her retreat back into the pool area and decided to follow. What could be happening that was so interesting to cause her to return? He came to the door and slowly opened it to listen to what was going on inside. He could hear her talking to...Lillian if he heard the voice right. And Riley were here also as was a girl he couldn't place. Arik and Kazumi, two people he had yet to meet were also there if what Lillian screamed was correct. So, there were six people total. He wondered if he should walk in and make it lucky seven. He stood there and listened to the conversations for a bit longer, trying to decide.

He listened to her and Lillian go back and forth and even heard her comments about a certain girls panties. But what peaked his curiousity was the girls comment. "Why are you sad...and what did you mean when you said that to me?," she had asked. He could only guess about the last part, not having been present to hear what she had said, but it was the first part that tugged at him. He opened the door and walked inside. He was simply dressed in a blue t-shirt, a pair of shorts, still damp from his soak and no shoes. He looked around the room. He smiled at Lillian and Riley, nodding his head to them. He looked over at who he guessed was the other couple. And then looked to her and the new girl. He walked around and sat on the other side of the pink haired girl and smiled.

He looked over her though and back to her for a moment before even speaking. "So, I guess no one will answer you, but I will," he said to her, not even introducing himself. "Sometimes, my pink little friend, we do something and well, we feel kind of bad about it. But at the time we did it, it felt like the only way. Only we find that we miss what we had and come back to find some things have changed while we were gone. We might feel like everyone has moved on and that can make us sad. Or we feel foolish for ever leaving in the first place and don't know how to say that we have made a mistake. But our friends understand and are quick to forgive us, even if we don't ask. And some of them, never really moved on at all," he said quietly.

He looked around again and said, "Sorry to interrupt everyone's swim time. I just saw the lights and thought I'd stop by," he said, lieing as he stood up. "Lillian, I see your late night wanderings still continue. I hope this time you at least have some kind of permission to be out. And is this the lucky fellow you were scavengering for. I mean was he the lucky recipient of your demonstration on the proper use of said item," he told her grinning. "Riley, lucky man. See you come rent time. He bowed to the couple and then to the girl in the towel. "Laura," he said as he bowed his head a bit before looking at her. "So, I guess I should let you all return to your...merry making." He slowly turned away and started towards the door, wondering if he was right to have spoken out of turn.

The girl's bubbly personality and nearly child-like ways were quite infectious, and Laura could not resist the smile that slid across her own lips as she heard the girl speaking to her from behind as she carefully hung up the other's wet clothing. She found herself instantly ensnared by the girl's sweet, even innocent, demeanor that radiated like warm sunshine from the inside out with every word, every movement, that the unfamiliar female spoke or made. Laura liked her immediately and that, my friends, is something which rarely ever happens.

That revelation, though left unspoken, made it unanimous. There was not a single person in the room that Laura Lye did not feel a certain level of affection for to one degree or another, and she found herself quite grateful that she had acted sensibly for once and returned to keep company with them all after Lillina had called out to her a few minutes before. In truth, there was nowhere else Laura Lye would rather be than right here, right now, with old friends and possibly even a new one in the making, too.

Granted, Laura was just a wee bit miffed at the way Lillian had avoided her well-intended touch, and also at the way she had so boldly snatched hold of her wrist as if the very thought of Laura's hand settling upon her frame was something repulsive, to say the least. The words Lillian had spoken to her, though, flew in one ear and right out the other with hardly any attention being paid to them at all. The two women were so much alike; even Laura could see their similarities, and that common thread is what always kept the two at wits end with one another. Watching the two lock horns, as they always did, one might wonder if either had any modicum of fondness for the other at all, but such concerns were ill-founded. There existed a bond between the two dominant females that neither would deny, a mutual respect that was always present just beneath the waggling of their sharp, quick-witted tongues. Even so, Laura had made a mental note of the way in which Lillian had responded to her a moment before in front of everyone, and she would call the other girls' bluff soon enough. Another time, and other place, another outcome to be sure.

As Laura settled herself down at the edge of the pool, she would completely miss Lillian's removal of that wet, black gown just before diving head first into the water, but the splash which ensued was enough to draw Laura's attentions to Lillian's nude form torpedo'ing from the pool's depth back toward the water's surface. "Wicked creature..." was Laura's only comment as Riley suddenly came charging forward, too, and dove into the water with obvious intentions on saving his Lillian or, at the very least, enjoying the other girls unexpected lack of modesty. "Wicked boy, too..." Laura remarked once more, nodding her head in the affirmative to no one other than herself.

Laura diverted her gaze as Riley began to grapple for Lillian's form beneath the water, her dark eyes settling on the too quiet , and obviously inseparable, Arik and Kazumi as they clung to one another in the pool far enough away to at least enjoy some hint of privacy. Whatever it was that the two of them shared, Laura was jealous of it, but not in any sort of hateful, vindictive way. Laura missed Kazumi and the ever silent Arik as well, and as she sat there watching them, she couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic as she remembered another pool scene not so long ago when they all had just met. What Laura had shared with that stunning strawberry blonde that night had been pure magic, or as close to magic as anything Laura had ever felt before. Arik had been a part of it, too, with his eyes every bit as full of wonder and curiousity as the caresses the two women had exchanged. It had been so special, so beautiful, that it almost seemed like a dream as Laura thought back to it now. While Laura was overcome with the urge to peel off her clothes and swim out to the two and wrap her arms around both, she remained seated, not daring to interrupt such a loving exchange. Again, another time, another place, another outcome to be sure.

Thank the powers that be for unexpected distrations! That was precisely what the pink hair girl provided unknowingly for Laura as she closed the distance between them and then settled her towel-clad lil' body right beside Laura at the pool's edge. Laura's smile exploded across her lips as her gaze was torn from Arik and Kazumi to stare at the one now sitting next to her. "Well, hello there..." she offered immediately, wiggling her ass just a bit and scooting over just a notch to give the other girl more room. Laura's dark eyes washed slowly over the other girl's face, studying the each delicate feature, and lingering perhaps a breath too long on those pleasing lips which seemed to always offer only the sweetest of words. She was beautiful, and in ways far deeper than what the eyes could see. There was something unique about this one, Laura knew, and she felt herself warming to the other girl instantly. Besides the two females obvious physical appeal, they were opposites in every conceivable way, or so it seemed. When the girl spoke, it was as if she whispered to the child which still lingered within Laura's heart, and the lavender hair girl instinctively knew that the one with bubble gum pink locks was someone she could trust with the secrets to her soul if she had to. Besides, their hair colors kinda sorta matched...how cool was that?

Laura remained silent for a moment as she pondered over the other girl's innocent and concerned query, but her smile never faded from her lips. Laura shook her head from side to side just slightly, reassurring the girl at her side that all was well even before she leant words to her private thoughts. "No, I'm not sad anymore, but I was. My heart was aching because, well, I didn't think my friends were my friends anymore. I see that isn't the case now, though...and I feel much better than I did. Thank you for being concerned about me, Sweetness..." Laura could feel her cheeks tingle as a hint of a blush licked across each, feeling just a little embarrassed to find herself talking so openly to anyone, much less a girl whose name she didn't even know. Even without realizing it, one hand lifted upwards towards the other girl's pretty face, Laura's fingers slowly moving to slide a wayward strand of pink hair from those delicate features. Her gesture would fall short, though, as the sound of the door swinging open once more caught Laura's attention and she peeked around the girl's petite form to see who had entered. Dark eyes flew wide, an instantaneuous "utt ohh, here comes trouble..." slipping across her lips when she saw Shuichi quickly closing the distance as he approached.

Laura was more than a tad surprised when he flopped down nonchalantly beside the girl whose name she had not gotten the chance to catch just yet, immediately breaking into speech as he, too, answered her question. It was his words, though, that were perhaps the biggest shock of all to Laura, because he seemed to know exactly what it was she had been feeling earlier and somehow managed to put her emotions into his own words quite eloquently. Like the girl beside her, Laura decided, there was more to this boy than what had first caught her eye. "Hey, Shuichi...fancy meeting you here!" Laura said cheerfully, one arm reaching across the other female's lap in an attempt to give Shuichi's bare knee a playful nudge as she winked knowingly at the boy, hoping her greeting was enough of an invitation to persuade him to stay even as he made haste to leave. "Looks like the gang's all gathered 'round..." she would say next, her eyes drifting back to the water to see if Lillian and Riley or Kazumi and Arik had noticed the new arrival. Little did Laura know that the term 'gang' was about to take on a whole new meaning for them all...

For the moment, the second question posed to Laura by the female she was quickly becoming fond of referring to as 'Sweetness' would go unanswered. Laura had told the other girl earlier that she was in good company with this group of kids, and that was Truth; the girl could find no better cohorts than those gathered around her now. Laura had also asked the other girl to hang tight with them, and that was sound advice; It was the only way the threads of lasting friendships could be beautifully and intricately woven. The only other thing she had asked of the new girl was that she take good care of the one's who had accepted her into their sacred fold. That had been a request whispered from Laura's heart; Afterall, there was nothing like knowing that, no matter what, you could always count on a friend to watch your back even when everyone else let you down. Laura smiled to herself. No, there was no need to respond to the girl's second question. Sweetness already knew the answer because the girl had the sort of heart that would tell her what was so.

Such new and interesting things were being displayed for Valina to take notice of in this new place , with these new people , in her new life of a student. She had inadvertently stepped through the door to the pool room and into the land of fancy , with herself as an odd unique Alice lost in wonderland meeting all the inhabitants of the place she was lost in. Valina's lips formed such a peaceful smile that could repel any sort of doom , gloom , stay the hand of demons , and make an angel cry. Why might you ask? The girl's form was laying so content wrapped up in the plush towel that caressed and cushioned her petite frame and warmed her skin , she felt as if she were making new friends , and life seemed right grand at the moment. After all , the girl might be Alice lost in wonderland , but it couldn't be a bad thing , hence the name containing wonder , right? And like Alice , things had there ups and down. Meeting her fellow students and learning named and faces , and the down to that would be her trip into the pool. That even had an upside to it as she mentally noted to herself while her frame re-situated itself under the cowl of cloth hiding her frame in it's embrace.

The pink haired girl's content realm was broken , no , disrupted for a moment while Riley suddenly took off like he was being chased by a stampede of yaoi fanatics. The sudden movement had Valina give to unique responses. For starters , her whole body tensed up. Not in fear , but in the urge to spring , pounce , roll away , or some other action. Her eyes locked onto his figure as it ran as if she herself was a homing missile and she was thinking of joining in. However , her body slowly went lax again and her eyes drifted away to go back to peeking at the Purple haired women she didn't know the name of. Arching her frame back away from the girl , the towel clad figure displayed a lazy streak to herself. The arching was just enough to upset the balance she had on her side , and with a light thump , she was now on her back , arms crossed and laying across the swell of her breasts under the towel. Wrists crossed at each other , her bracelet on the top as if it were her eyes , watching , taking in everything just as much as her senses. Tendrils of pink haphazardly were strewn around her head and pool side in every which direction while she laid , waiting for a response with so much innocence and peace shining through those blue eyes that judged not but only loved.


To her distinct pleasure which tuned the smile to a lax one of peace to one of the utmost warmth. Her heart fluttered in her chest with not shyness or even remote feelings in that area , but sheer and utter delight. Broad , unabashed , and filled with a sense of self-euphoria at having the stranger speak to her it was all she could do to not giggle in joy , the girl's frame squirming a bit in effort. Like a ray of sunshine she focused her attention on the other's reply , gracing her with it's brilliant force. The girl listened , smiled , thought , and gave her an answer in that sugar sweet voice that bristled with life.
"I'm really happy you're not sad anymore. I'd have felt bad if you did...I'd like to think everyone I meet could be happy if I at least try and share with them my own feelings of happiness that they are just there and themselves. You know what I mean? I just met you all so it must sound silly , heehee! But , I really like you all , you all seem fun and nice. I don't think they would be any more upset at you then sad , like you were sad just a few moments ago. They like you , you're nice , so why run away? Good friends share both feelings. Good and bad , and when one feels sad or hurt , you have other's to pick you up and help. But if you run away...it makes them sad you don't trust them. Least that's what I think..."


The girl's moment of thoughtful focus was straining her small attention span. Her brain was whirling with what comforting things she could add to that , or should say. Nose wrinkling in a sense of urgency to say something that could follow onto what she just uttered in her own brand of friendly banter. Then her eyes lit up as if the keeper in the lighthouse of her head found the match that fell and used it to spark the light back up full blast and with the purpose of saving SOMETHING." If you had a friend and they ran off and something bad happened..you'd feel bad , right? You'd wanna comfort them or help. But...what if they didn't let you? That would be terrible..." her smile faded a notch. Her brightness dimishined a hair as she herself tried to fathom with her well of innocence how terrifyingly immense that would feel if someone did that to her. At that moment , her eyes grew a little watered with the thought , but she toned her smile back up to the girl while those coral pink pert lips parted and she added in with her tone of voice back into the right temperature , warm. " I'm so happy you came back to let them not worry..."


Valina's moment of startling focus was at last shattered. By forces she couldn't resist or control another body slipped into the scene to distract her. Coming into the pool scene was another youth , a boy , who seemed to be much more familar with the other's then she herself was , and he never did say his name. He just spoke to her in a almost all knowing sort of way. From her upside down perception on the complex world of other's ,Valina's head tried to nod , which would look strange since she was laying on her back , and make a sort of muted "Ohh..." noise with her mouth. Through his dialogue she discovered Laura's name , and if suddenly someone kicked her in her towel clad nakie rear she gave a full body twitter under the cloth." O-Oh! I'm sorry I was being rude , my name's Valina." She might have said more...but as cryptic as he entered the boy seemed to be leaving...making her eyes settle into the pool with Riley and Lillian , watching with a sort of amused look to herself as the game of cat and mouse went on and on with those two.

"Lovely", Nate said observing the lights within the halls as he made his rounds. During this time of night students were known to take advantage of the locker room showers and pool. His job was not to escort them off premises or kick them out. Simply he took note of who was their and made sure their were no non-students in their ranks. what they did was only his concern if safety came into play.

Nate was adorned in his usual fashion a dark navy blue uniform with gold trim, tactical boots, and his satchel pack. His jacket hid his longsleeve shirt and vest. The covering garment was emblazined with the kanji for "genbu" and "north" on his back.The collar had a small gold tortois with an onyx back. He wore cufflinks of a similar nature. Naturally he customed tailored his garments, the jacket had many hiddien pockets, was dual lined and had some protective fabrics. His shirt was silk and hemmed to pull off easy, his pants had several hidden pockets and were hemmed an inch above regulation. His satchel pack like the rest of his clothing looked stock, yet was tailored to his needs. Perhaps most important was his belt. It was actually a climbing harness with pouches holding a multi tool, video camera, light, cuffs, and his SOCOM with spare mags. Due to the nature of his customization, the iscretion of his equipment was absolute.

Nothing escaped the stoic young man's lips as he opened the pool door. The laughter and catcalls were a dead give away to the activity. The roomwas half lit, and he observed several piles of clothes, and roughly 10 students. Nate was careful and quick about opening the door he was not attempting to startle the students.

It was a suprise to observe Arik in this sort of affair. Riley and Lillian were not a suprise. There were a few faces new to him. The his eyes fell upon Laura. He hadn't seen her in a while. Now it looked like she was getting into some mischief. He wouldn't say anything. He rarely betrayed his mannerisms.

Making a second sweep, it did not look like their were any unauthorized persons in the pool. He'd log the event and the students present into his PDA. The event was not uncommon. He attempted to slip back through the door, again professional and discrete.

Valina. So that was the name Sweetness went by? At first, Laura only smiled warmly at Valina when she offered that little tid bit of information, seeming somewhat dazed into silence as she watched and listened to the other girl with mounting fascination. Every word that Valina spoke was wrapped in a blanket of sincerity, and it was an impossible task not to fall under the spell of sweetness and innocence which radiated beautifully from the other females' being.

As Valina shifted her position and moved to lay on her back next to the pool, Laura was hard pressed not to join her in that endeavor, thinking to herself how pleasant it would be to simply curl up comfortably on her side next to the girl and continue their soulful conversation for hours and hours on end. Valina had that easy, welcoming way about her that was positively magnetic, and while Laura had just met the other female and knew absolutely nothing about her, she sensed intuitively that the other would easily and effortlessly slip into the ranks of those Laura considered to be her most trusted friends.

Laura offered no reply at all to Valina's words, for truly none was needed. Sweetness had done a delighfully splendid job of explaining the meaning behind each utterance, and Laura felt herself slipping further and further under the other girl's spell. It was a rare anomoly in this day and age to find anyone with such a pristine, untarnished skew of their suroundings and the people around them; someone whose mind was still bursting with possibilities and their heart still filled with hope. Laura couldn't help but feel a pang of regret at her own stained and oftentimes misconscrewed perception of reality, and she also couldn't help but wish that she could see the world through Valina's eyes just once, where every picture painted was brought to vivid life by the wide-eyed wonder and innocence of a trusting, loving child.

There were life lessons to be learned from Valina, Laura knew, and she considered silently whether the other girl's instant acceptance into this clique of friends would not eventually become the common thread which held them bound together, or perhaps even the saving grace which would bless them all in the bittersweet end. Only time would tell what integral part Valina would play in their adolescent lives, and time was something Laura had plenty of. "My name is Laura...Laura Lye," she offered to Valina as the girl lay sprawled out under her towel at Laura's side. "...and thank you for being the voice of both empathy and reason for me today. Your words were medicine for my Soul."

There it was again. That sudden urge to just lay back and relax beside Valina while chatting and giggling the night away as they told stories and shared secrets the way girls are so often fond of doing with one another in their teenage years. Laura felt almost silly for having that rather girlish inclination, but it tugged at her nonetheless. A girlfriend. Someone to share her pains and heart aches with. Someone to listen to her hopes and dreams. Someone to trust. Someone to believe. A ray of sunshine and burst of inspiration on those less than 'happy' days. All of those things and so very much more without any sort of sexual innuendo or hidden agenda. A True girlfriend. That is what Laura wanted Valina to be, and Laura was convinced that she could offer the same in return given the opportunity.

Laura stretch one arm behind her to rest her palm flattly on the concrete floor, supporting the weight of her upper body as she, too, shifted her postion and leaned back, rolling onto one hip as she turned to stare down at Valina almost adoringly. There was only silence as Laura looked deeply into the other girl's eyes, searching their depths so intensely that one might think she expected to find the answers to the Universe within those shimmering pools. And, perhaps she did. Laura's smile was both sweet and serene as her free hand lifted to cradle Valina's cheek with the tenderest touch she had ever granted to another living soul, and Laura seemed almost poised to speak, as though she were on the verdge of some sacred revelation as this unfolding scene unexpectedly shifted once more.

Laura's focus was broken a second time as movement in the distance rattled her attentions, drawing them away from Valina. Laura's hand fell away from that intended caress as she sat back up quickly, her legs swinging out of the pool as she clamored hurriedly to stand. One word flew loudly from her lips as intrinsic grace gave way to haste, and she began almost running in the direction of the door for the second time that night, "Wait!" Water sloshed and dripped from the hem to her jeans as the wet fabric clung to her legs from the knees down, leaving a trail of tiny puddles behind her as Laura hurried to catch up to the oddly dressed boy who had just entered so quietly and then fled just as quickly without uttering a single word of recognition to any of them.

Laura stopped when she reached the exit, pulling the door open and stepping just inside the threshold as both hands reached up to lay claim to opposite sides of the door frame, her upper body leaning out just slightly as her head turned this way and that, dark eyes searching the night. Laura's tone was laced with the sincerity of a heart felt plea as she called across the darkness from the doorway where she stood, not caring at all if the kids behind her could hear her hopeful words as they rang out with crystal clarity, "Please, please don't be gone! Come back to me, Nathaniel... I've been missing you so very much and for so very long...Please?" Laura fell deathly silent, keeping her back to the group as she listened for any hint of sound, any slight bustle of movement that might indicate that he wasn't really gone. Not yet. Not without at least telling her "hello."

There was nothing more satisfying than to see that playful giggle across Lillian's face when he wrapped his arm around her. At first, he would feel highly subconscious of his move, because frankly he could be deemed as some crazy pervert and should be shot on sight for being so horn dogishly forward in attempting to ensnare Lillian all to himself. Slowly looking back on it, he came to realize that he did not really have to 'decide' whether or not to follow Lillian into the pool. He was rather astonished at his own moving of his feet, since he only realized it when he was in mid flight across the pool and into the water. The rest of the way was along the lines of Why stop now? You have already committed yourself to it, best to push forward and claim your prize! Nonetheless, he would never consider that devilishly cunning Lillian something as a mere trophy at the end of the finish line, but her attention alone was the prize that he sought as those hands continued to curl around her waist in slow motion.

When her gaze turned towards him, for a few small reasons he felt that she would turn around and smack him across the face. Once more, he felt like an utter idiot for running across the pool like some jackal trying to claim a good piece of meat... but once more he was met with a surprise, as those legs locked around his waist. His hand started to lose his grip around the pool momentarily, having to struggle to remain a firm grip onto the side of the pool's edge. His world was slowly contorting to that of simplistic views of a male who was slowly falling for the girl right in front of his face. As much as he hated to admit it, he did not notice Nate or any other person entering the abode or the cat calls anyone may or may not be giving him. His eyes were focused on the beauty he wanted to see, and that beauty was mere inches from his body. With a light wink, he loosened his grip around her waist just a tad so she could get comfortable where ever she wanted to be. He was just happy as hell to be holding someone he had been, somehow, seeking for quite sometime.

Those delicate angelic finger tips began to nest themselves along his neck line, allowing her to have free reign once more to getting comfortable. His eyes only darted downward once to catch a glimpse of those beautiful breasts that floated so elegantly along the ripples of the pool. Shaking his head, he would have to give a light chuckle. It was a rather amazing feature to watch, and hell he had not seen this before. Letting his hand tighten around her waist, he attempted to let it rest just along her lower waist line. He did not want his hand feeling up her backside just yet; he wanted to make sure he would not scare her away so to speak. Even though Lillian was as cunning as a mountain lioness, she was still as delicate as a fragile flower. Every woman had their soft sides that gave them their sense of inner beauty and elegance, and he wanted to have the chance to witness that under comfortable conditions. Those sensual eyes locked with his blue hues, making his eyes dart across her glow for answers. He was rather confused with this sudden closeness, she was really putting a lot on the line to be this affectionately close without freaking out.

Instead of having the long gaping stares where they try to figure out who is going to nuzzle into who, she angelically laid that beautiful cheek across his shoulder blade. This feature alone sent many vibrating chills of desire skyrocketing up and down his spine. Those good sensual chills made him shiver in delight. He apologized immediately for the light shake up with a light chuckle, adding. "Sorry sweetie." His lips would lean forward to attempt to place a light kiss on the top of her forehead. She was being a rather gentle cutie-pie without having to 'strut her stuff' at all. Of course, he did feel those fantastically molded breasts from god that pressed against his chest, but that was not what he was focusing on right now. His light gaze was staring down into the fitful of wet hair, attempting to reach up and comb a few fingers through it. It was a hard feat, given because one of his hands at to hold them both afloat. Nevertheless, he had to admit he was enjoying himself without all the warning bells of sexual desire racking inside of his brain. He was inwardly shocked that he was not freaking out over the fact that she was naked and pressed so tightly against his form. It did not stop his desires from perking up a little bit, but he someone managed to push them down with a small word of No... across his mind. Maybe some male discipline was finally catching up to him.

As those soft breasts continued to press freely against his chest, he could not hide that continuing blush that played across his cheeks. Even though he could not give in to those sexual desires, he had to at least admit those breasts felt mighty fine against his lightly toned chest. Finally feeling comfortable with her being so close to him, he gave a light sigh of approval from his lips. "Well, I guess this means that you... got me instead." Giving a light chuckle, the game of cat and mouse had turned into something a bit more devious as the cat played into the mouse's trap for once. Keeping his voice low so that no one around them would hear, he talked to her silently. "So now that you have me all to yourself, what are you going to do now?" His lips attempted to brush against her right ear that he was whispering into, trying to give her a loving kiss across her ear lobe. He was somehow feeling more into the cuddly atmosphere than he gave to imagine. She was being too cute for him to ignore, and he wanted to partake in such treats. "So of all the possible candidates here you could ensnare over to this side of the pool, why did you pick me?"

It was an open into the air question, that he left for her to decide to answer or not. He was not completely certain that he was 'falling head over heels in love with Lillian' but there was a high spark of interest that was slowly evolving into something greater. He had to admit, every time he touched her it felt more like a necessity than something to appease his sexual desires. Something that he was naturally allowed to do without some kind of consequence in return, like breathing in fresh air from the morning breeze. Letting the temporary silence overtake them, he slowly opened his eyes more as he attempted to trail his fingers along her backside very gently. Allowing his eyes to wander, he was rather curious to see if he could spot a birthmark on her butt from underwater that he could pick on her about. Nevertheless, through the ripples of the water he could easily see small marks across her back.

At first, he thought his mind was playing tricks on him. For example, he wanted to believe it was an optical illusion. Nevertheless, when she clung closer to his body he watched part of her back slowly come out of the water... exposing part of her damaged back to the cool air outside of the pool waters. Instinctively, his hand drifted from her waist and attempted to wrap around her upper part of her back as he attempted to hide it. It would be EXTREMELY hard for people outside the pool to notice it from afar, since most of her body was underwater and the water did contort the natural image.

Nevertheless, anyone that walked within 5 feet of the couple could easily get a glimpse of her backside. He did not want that to happen, his moment with Lillian was finally obtained. He did not want to ruin it with mindless questions, something that looked like it would bring her a lot of pain if he brought it up. He could tell that it took courage for Lillian to become comfortable to strip naked and to expose her back to his gaze, and in such he wanted to respect that completely. If she were looking across his features, he would only let his expression falter for a few seconds, giving a light smile as he shook it away. It was nothing to ruin the moment about. "Comfortable?" The quiet question passed his lips, as his arm attempted to pull her snuggly against his body. Not wanting her to part from him for a little while longer.

"Missing me", Nate questioned just a bit. The young man was free from his glasses that so commonly hid his eyes from view. The dark orbs locked on her. He had not taken more than a step. Her call was picked by his sharp hearing.

"That's quite flattering Laura, I'm on the job currently. Though I am free of my obligations at midnight. Should you wish to make up for loss time", Nathaniel's voice was even. his gaze to not lift from her though. He had met the beauty while working. The ordeal had been complex, and for some reason he found himself at odds with Miss Lye.

He turned to face her completely not removing his eyes from her's. He wouldn't smile, nor would he give into the yearnings that were betrayed in his eyes. The spark that burned under his skin had reignighted.

"I trust that you're not getting into any trouble tonight", he said giving her the once over and letting his arms shift. It was subtle, but if Laura was as sharp as she was before her absence, she would see the cracks in the fortress of Nate's persona. He tried to be rigid, but forgot he was still a young man.

For the very first tme in her entire life, Laura Lye Maddox acted her age. Momentarily cast aside were her over-inflated airs of experience and that ever-present inclination for carnal delights. As she stood poised and propped in the doorway staring out at Nathaniel, Laura Lye was very much like any other normal sixteen year old girl who was crushing on a boy. Dark eyes were wide with longing and secret, unspoken adoration and the faint smile painted perfectly across her lips was meant for the boy her gaze was now settled upon-- meant for him and him alone.

There were a million thoughts rushing through Laura's mind as she stared at him, and an equal number of questions, too, but she didn't speak. Not yet. In truth, the girl was just grateful that he had heeded her call and paused long enough in his departure to spare her even a moment of his focused attention. That was enough. For now. The fact that the boy was currently on duty and in the process of making his nightly rounds of the campus made the moment that he spared for her even more appreciated, for truly Laura knew how seriously he took his position as Gate Guardian and would rarely let anyone or anything distract him from the tasks at hand, let alone a girl. Let alone a girl like her.

Laura could not quite put her finger on the unwavering attraction she felt for the boy, though he was, without a doubt, a very handsome young man. Perhaps it was his extremely regimented demeanor which captivated her; his methodical attention to even the most minute details, or even his logical, tactical mode of thinking. Laura didn't really know what caused her to gravitate towards the boy with a force so tangible that she could feel it resonnating at her very core. She didn't really care either.

To most, Nathanile seemed stern, well- disciplined, apathetic to the point of being without a trace of emotion at all, and most certainly deadly given his intensive training and skill with fire arms and martial arts. He was the sort of young man that made himself very unapproachable by those who were faint of heart, and the aloof, even arrogant way, in which he carried himself was intimidating to say the very least. Laura Lye's interest in the boy wasn't deterred, though. If anything, all of those characteristics which comprised Nathaniel's personna only pricked at her incessant curiousity all the more, until she found herself wanting to slowly peel away the layers of that well polished facade until she could glimpse the man behind the mask.

"Don't shoot me.." Laura Lye said to Nathanile, half jokingly, half not, as she finally let go of the door frame and took several slow steps in the direction in which he stood. Were she to run up to him hurriedly in her excitement to see him again, Laura Lye was quite certain she would quickly find herself being forced to the ground face down with her wrists pinned behind her body and his knee pressing into her lower back as he tried to decipher in his own tactile mode of thinking why she had charged at him to begin with. No. It was best to proceed with caution where Nathaniel Logan Ardenson was concerned.

As she stepped within arms reach of the boy, Laura confirmed his query. "Yes...missed you. Is that so hard for you to fathom?" The girl had quietly absorbed each word the boy had spoken to her. In fact, she had hung on every utterance, as he would soon discover when she turned the conversation back to his subtle revelation. "Your obligations to your job ends at midnight, as you said. I would like it very much if you would meet me back here at say...12:15AM or so, and then walk me back to my dorm. It isn't out of your way at all, you know? My room is still across the hall from your own, and I can think of no better way I would rather end my night than in your company as you escort me to my door, Nathaniel."

While the boy always seemed to be suspicious of her motives and questioned the reason behind every little thing she did, Laura still held out hope that he would agree to come back for her a little later after his work day was done. It was such a simple request raelly, but why then did Laura feel as if she had just asked the boy to deliver the entire world to her served up on a silver platter? Was the pleasure of his company so valued, so cherished, by her that Laura felt like she had just asked for the impossible? Yes, in fact, it was.

As she stared at him while awaiting his reply, the memory of his lips playing so softly, so timidly at the corner of her own made the hint of a blush creep into her cheeks, and Laura could only hope the boy would not be able to spy that slight discoloration through the veil of darkness surrounding them. Nathaniel had mentioned making up for lost time, but the girl didn't dare ask what he had meant. The mere implication of those words were enough to warm her in a way that only he could. It was almost like that innocent utterance held a hidden innuedo, an unspoken promise, when slipping from his lips...a subtle foretelling of pleasures yet to be discovered between them perhaps. One never knew, but a girl could always hope.

Like Nathaniel, Laura missed very little that was going on around her at any given moment, but she rarely let on that her senses were so keenly astute. That being said, the shifting of Nathaniel's arms did not go unnoticed by the girl after he allowed his eyes to drift over her form in the most liesurely, yet calculating of ways. "I trust that you're not getting into any trouble tonight" he remarked to her so casually, and Laura's smile deepened considerably. At the unexpected movement of his arms a minute before, Laura's gaze had flittered over his ripped masculine frame, too, yet she made no visable sign that she had seen that which he was trying to inconspicuously conceal, nor would she comment on it now. Suffice it to say, it was enough of an unintentional revelation to assure Laura Lye that the boy had missed her, too, even if he couldn't or wouldn't tell her with his words. As was sometimes the case, one's body would betray the strength and resolution of their mind, and Nathaniel's body, even as well-disciplined as it was, could most definately be found guilty of treason at the moment.

"Trouble?" Laura Lye asked with feigned innocence, as if she didn't have a clue what the boy could possibly be talking about. "Me? No, none at all, I promise...Scout's honor!" Laura nodded, holding up her right hand in the air at shoulder's height as if she were being sworn into some sacred club. She took one step closer to the boy, turning her face to the side just a bit and leaning forward as closely as she could while still maintaining her ability to keep her eyes locked steadfastly upon his own as her whisper licked across his ear in the most provocative way, "Of course, Nathaniel...perhaps I spoke too soon. Afterall, the night isn't over with yet, now is it?" Laura raised back up, smiling brightly as she winked at Nathaniel playfully and then spun around on her heels, heading back in the direction of the door and to the friends still lingering inside. "Please don't be late...it's not polite to keep a girl waiting, Darlin', " Laura tossed back over her shoulder at Nathaniel just before disappearing inside the building.

Her welcome had slowed his step as he started out. He stopped at her next comment and looked around and it seemed they were quite a gang. But was he included in this gang. He looked to each of them. He had only really ever talked to Riley while trying to get his room. And as for Lillian, well he really didn't even know if she was a friend or just a thief who took advantage of his good nature. Of course, he really didn't mind getting robbed and it sure made his night better than it had been. Looking at her, he thought, 'She might not play a maid, but she was doing a hell of a job playing a mermaid, sans tail.' Quickly looking to the couple, he knew that he had not met them. And then there was the exciteable young lady in the pink hair. Picturing her only proved she was a new face. A pretty face in a towel..only a towel. His thoughts drifted a bit. Focusing brought him back to her. Was that the intent of her nudge? Of course earlier..maybe he'd stay a bit longer...Maybe not. He shook his head.

The door opened and he saw a young man standing there. He had a coll demeanor and the look of someone on a mission. His blue uniform seemed neatly pressed, crips to say the least. He wondered if his pants would stand on their onw, like a cousin of his did. Maybe they were made of the same material. He wondered if he was part of one of these squads he had heard about. He surely did seem to fit the profile, down to his boots. He thought back to his previous encounters with these type of people. Even though he might not look like it, he would bet a years wages that he was carrying more that he seemed to be. Those type could put Batman to shame with the amount of items they could fit on their person. Even though he was probably so clean he squeaked, he was sure he was a good guy to have a round in a tight spot. Even if he did happen to come and herd them back to their respected rooms. Oh well, he was headed out in any case. He was however suprised to see him leave. Maybe he didn't squeak after all.

He turned around to say a final good-bye, when she flew past him. "Guess she knew him," he told the young ladies who's name he caught as Valina. "Oh, well," he grinned. "Seems to be the flavor of the day," he said more to himself than to anyone. "Have a good night pink," he told the girl. "And just so you know, Valina's a pretty name." With his final word echoing sofly, he walked to the door, only to spot, seeing the two of them just beyond the reach of the light that shined through the window. He stood there. Maybe he should give the two a few minutes. And even though, he had made his gesture for privacy's sake, that did not stop him from listening to the voices floating on the wind.

As he saw her near, he opened the door standing in the door way, he asked her as he smiled, "So, that's him huh?" He watched him leave. " That's guy with the gun fetish, the one I should be thanking you for?, " he asked, refering to their conversation in his room. "You know it's later and I still don't know about that thanks," he told her. "Still, not a bad looking chap. And it was good to see you smiling again. You seemed a little melancholy. I hope at least his visit raised your spirits, for what it's worth." He walked outside, still holding the door open for her. "Guess I'll be heading out, Darlin'," he said, matching her inflection. "Don't worry though I'll be around." He took a step and stopped. "And Miss Maddox, you might want to erase your voice mail, or at least don't asnwer it around him. Wouldn't want you to get into any trouble. Besides, it seems you
do have a knack for it. Or maybe trouble is just drawn to you," he told her with a smile. "Good night, Laura and welcome home."

"Laura Lye...that's a pretty name. They both start with a L.Makes it flow nicely. " Stating the obvious evidently wasn't beyond the pink haired girl , and she did it in a way that wasn't mocking , or dry sounding , but honest and true. There was no hidden meanings or manipulative motives behind the girl. She was honest and bare with her feelings and words."Really? Wow , usually when I talk alot no one says those kinds of things to me. Are you sure what I said helped alot?" a faint stripe of pink made her soft cheeks glow with pink candle light. Not that she was embaressed , but more like pleased with herself for doing something useful.


Valina made no move as the other shifted herself and peered down at her. All Valina did was peer back up with one of her wide and innocent smiles while her own bright blue hues were being delved into deeply , deep enough that in the back of her mind she could feel her soul be tickled by the glance. And what would Laura see? Just a normal pair of bright sparkling cotton candy blues peering up at her with a warmth and curiosity that made her unique. The hand being lifted up and moving to her chin was watched,eyes tracking it as if assessing the action. Her brain didn't focus on it long , her mental lock on mechanism wasn't the sharpest. Yet , who's attention is very solid when the person sitting near you suddenly gets to their feet and sprints after someone like a hungry lioness and the male she was after a plump and appealing Gazelle?

Giggles flew from her lips as easy as money slips out of a rich person's pocket when you hold them upside down and shake them a little. The very actions of this people brought her wells of joy from being still pools to bubbling brooks that couldn't be hushed. Crisp and clear laughter sparked in the night from the beacon of brightly colored hair and the hair's mistress , Valina. " Cute! Hee , everyone is lively! I like it!" which was so true. Valina liked randomness. Which could explain that when Shuichi spoke to her , she paused for a moment to think of a word or phrase , her brain collecting a vast number of responses it could throw back , then settled on one she heard a while ago from a cd she had the grace of paying attention to. " Goodnight mister! Farewell. Farewell, til we meet again, peace be with you, may the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house!" Such an odd goodbye , but on she felt was as good as any. "Thank you for the compliment tooooo!" her voice held the "Ooo" sound a few seconds longer then she had to , just to give her speech enough , pazazz.

The pink haired kitten of a girl switched from being actively speaking to actively watching. There was no one in the vicinity of her any longer , and she was slaying by the pool side with a towel wrapped about her. This made her wonder if she should hold onto the towel and just make a little toga like thing out of it and walk about. However , she was warm , lazy , and comfortable. These three things caused the lazy girl to stay put where she was. Her body was idle , just not her mind. Eyes searching upside down at the world while her arms shifted a bit, her left hand reaching to her right to idly spin her bracelet around her right wrist in a careful and measured way. While she did this, her eyes had settled on Lilly and Riley , watching them with the utmost curiosity. Her curiosity was pure intentioned , not just because one was nude and both were clinging , but she wanted to know why. Yet, like her reason for not chasing any of these new friends she had about, she gave them a somewhat sacred space while she watched in clueless awe at their actions of closeness.

Shock. That was what struck Laura Lye soundly as she turned on her heels away from Nathaniel to head back into the building. None other than TROUBLE itself was standing in her path and holding the door open for her, boldly engaging her in a conversation that would have best been held behind closed doors. Shit! Laura's eyes flew open wide as she looked at Shuichi as if he had lost his ever loving mind, that pretty head of hers shaking from left to right as subtley as she could manage in an effort to tell him wordlessly to shut up! Her lips pursed and a quiet "Shhhhh..." sounded, and Laura's only hope was that Nathaniel had put enough distance between himself and the building that he couldn't hear that desperate sound or the words Shuichi had just spoken to her either.

"That's guy with the gun fetish, the one I should be thanking you for?" Shuichi asked her, refering to their conversation in his room. "You know it's later and I still don't know about that thanks."

"You're positively incorrigible!" Laura accused under her breath, her pace quickening before Shuichi could say too much more while they were still out in the open. The girl was fast, but she wasn't quite fast enough. After making his intention to leave clear, Shuichi's next little bit of advice made Laura want to pounce on him if for no other reason than to clamp her hand over his mouth so he would quit speaking in that voice which seemed like it was about 10 decibals too loud right that minute.

"And Miss Maddox, you might want to erase your voice mail, or at least don't answer it around him. Wouldn't want you to get into any trouble. Besides, it seems you do have a knack for it. Or maybe trouble is just drawn to you,"

Damn and double damn! Not only was Trouble drawn to her, but it seemed to know her fucking name. Laura flew through the doorway, one hand reaching out to grab Shuichi by the wrist as if she meant to pull him behind her as she continued walking quickly back to where the other kids were still lounging around by the pool without missing a step. "Oh, no you don't!" she shot back a him over her shoulder. "You're not going anywhere. You are going to stay right here where I can keep my eye on you and make sure you don't stir up any...nonsense! While you're getting acquainted with everyone else, I'll try to see if I can't teach you the fine art if discretion...something you obviously know nothing about!"

If the boy was on her heels and in her grasp as she expected him to be, Shuichi would hear Laura calling out to the other kids loudly, "Hey! Everyone! This is Shuichi..." One arm flew up and she pointed over her shoulder in his direction as she made that simple introduction.

Laura's hurried footsteps only ceased when she reached the end of the pool where the others were, and hopefully Shuichi would grind to a halt as well to avoid completely bowling her over. She came to stand directly beside Valina, smiling down at the girl as she brushed her lavender hair out of her face and attempted a sincere smile. "Thanks, Sweetness. I'm glad you like my name, too...and, yes, you really did help ~a lot~ with the things you said to me a few minutes ago."

Laura then whirled around to face Shuichi, her eyes narrowing at the boy as she pointed to the couple wrapped around one another in the pool. "That's Riley and Lillian, but you probably already know them...everyone around the school does...and try not to stare...they obviously don't know the dorms come equiped with a bed." Next she pointed to the somewhat secluded pair on the other side of the pool who were cuddled up rather cozily, too. "And that's Arik...he can't talk, so mind your manners. That lovely strawberry blonde is Kazumi, and she's awfully shy...so dun go saying anything to embarrass her." Then Laura stepped aside just a bit, her arm swinging downwards toward the pink haired girl she had only just met herself. "And this lovely lil' pink haired creature is Valina, but you already caught her name, didn't you? Be nice to her...she's kinda new around here, too, just like you...so it seems the two of you have something in common already."

Laura exhaled deeply, blowing a few strands of hair out of her face before flopping back down at the edge of the pool, but his time she curled her legs beneath her rather than dangle them in the water. Her gaze drifted over towards Riley and LIllian for a moment, glaring coldly at the boy she took such pleasure in tormenting. What the hell was wrong with those two? She was damn tempted to take a flying leap into the pool and see if she couldn't land smack dab in the middle of their lil' flesh party and break it the hell up. Lillian. Why the hell did she favor Riley's touch as opposed to her own? The cunning lil' vixen had all but broken Laura's goddamned wrist when she had tried to slip her hand over the other girl's hip. Eh, it didn't matter, Laura decided, shrugging indiffeently as she looked away from the couple and back up at Shuichi. "This is a 'clothes optional' kind of party, I'm guessing, 'Trouble', " Laura told him, using the term she had come to equate with the boy. A sly smile eased across her lips as she attempted to nudged the towel clad Valina to draw the girl into her game. "Now I don't mind getting naked in the name of fun, but tonight it's gentleman first, so...after you, doll." Laura winked at the pink haired girl beside her. "...isn't that right, Sweetness?"

Valina's eyes were growing heavy. Those bright orbs were no longer really focused on anything in particular. No doubt she was listening , but her mind was slowly going into shut down mode. Lashes flirted with her vision as they tickled down , then snapped back up , then back down again. As if a sleepy unheard lullaby , her fingers danced and explored the little patterns on her leather bracelet in a slow lulled fashion. Sleep was like an inviting haven , slowly beckoning her closer to it's warm and dark embrace that would renew her. However , Sleep was shy and easily chased away by company , and as presences made their way closer , sleep fled her.

Her form stirred and wiggled under it's cocoon of safety and warmth , wriggling like a catapillar waiting to become a butterfly. However , if Valina emerged it would only be a naked girl , not a winged phenomenon. The pink haired sweetheart had managed to sit partially up after her small stretch without yanking the towel higher then her calves up her , bare toes wiggling in the air while a sleepy looking smile , half tranquilized and enhanced with a sleepy innocence while peering up at Laura" Welcome...Nnn....almost fell asleep..." Sitting there , Valina would probably look under the influence of something with that halfway there stare. Then , her hands rose up , curled into loose fists , hinged at the wrists making a paw like gesture , and rubbed at her eyes in an attempt to wake her up a little.


"Niaho..." was the greeting she gave the boy for now , just rubbing at her eyes until movement was felt close to her. Slowly , her head gave a fraction of a inch tilt back , eyes moving up and almost crossing as her vision fixed on the finger. In that moment she did something probably strange to most. She more or less arched her body upwards in a wiggly S motion. This caused her upper body to elongate upwards just enough for her satin soft cheek to come in contact with the finger , giving it a bit of a nuzzle and a nudge. Then she relaxed back down , giving the boy a proper more awake smile " Hi hi Trouble." A playful little grin spreading widely across her face like paint from a slow and loving stroke by a masterful painter. Did she hear Laura's pet name for him? Perhaps." But I guess people like to call me Pinkie or Sweetness too...so I don't mind those either." Content was evident on her calm and pleasant face with it's bright eyed gaze and her heavenly light and sweet smile.


Thought , it changed a bit to a more confused one as Laura was explaining the rules of the party. Then she was nudged , the light girl being lazy enough to actually teeter to the side and slowly , like a wobble ball , re-balance into place. Naked? Valina's nose slowly scrunched up , the poor little nose held in a state of confusion , then her face relaxed a moment while the small built girl piped up in a perfectly innocent tone , with innocent intentions , with her innocent mannerisms. " Uhuh. Gentlemen first. But I've never seen a boy naked...what's the difference?" That of course would be downright....what's the word? Strange? Nah , not quite. Sheltered? hmm , close , but not enough. Odd? Too weak sounding. Valina was odd before , but now she's gone a bit beyond to the land of the Outlandish and fantastic. Such a comment , and made in the crowd she was in , in the place she was in , would probably be as close to Blasphemy. Did Valina know? Judging by the look on her face she was so much more clueless about the land of naked bodies and interactions between them. Did they want to taint the pure snow? Who knows?

There were so many things that went on in the past several moments that Arik had found himself unable to escape the sounds and sights after a few had passed. Though with Kazumi's hand caressing him, his gaze captured and his body enraptured by the voluptuous young woman, the fact that she seemed to have spaced out or somehow gotten lost in his eyes. He blinked, and then crossed his eyes before he'd slip his hands out from beneath the elastic of her one-piece swimsuit. It was beautiful, she was beautiful, but there'd been no response since he'd held her to him as he'd attempted to get her to the pool. It didn't take a genius to understand some of the language at play. She doesn't want to go in the pool, and it was her suggestion to get naked. Maybe...

With that, Arik smiled to Kazumi, caressing her hips gently if she let him before he'd reach between them to do something he wouldn't have suspected himself capable of doing. His fingers slid between the elastic band of his swimming trunks, the red fabric still wet and cool as he felt her fingers working beneath it, and upon him. Then, bracing himself for the colder air that he expected to wash in as surely as the waves upon a beach, he thrust the shorts down and they slid quickly to his ankles. Now, the timid young man had made quite the bold step that he rather hoped few would see- he didn't need to make waves, so to speak, but he needed at least one that would hopefully wake his unofficial girlfriend up. His fingers would slip to her hand, trying to extract himself from her grasp before he'd turn around and head to the pool, stepping into the shallow end as naked as he'd been the day he was born.

Arik turned around to face Kazumi, giving her a teasing smile before he'd glance around at the others. He could see Lillian, Riley, and the new girl... Valina, he had to remind himself. The others, he couldn't see at the moment, as he ducked under the water , shivering as his body finally warmed up a bit more. And his erection finally relaxed, fortunately, as he smiled and surfaced after swimming out towards the middle of the pool. Little did he realize that he wasn't the only nude swimmer of the bunch... But then, he hadn't had a chance for a good look around yet. He gasped for air, barely making any noise as he blinked the water from his eyes before glancing around to make sure that no one was too close to him- he was nude, and he didn't need to be found out by anyone other than Kazumi at this point...

A story that was what her life was intended for never a dull moment of peace always on edge and always moving, like the rapids upon the rocks. She of course had no problem being the rock in the middle of the rapids that would force everyone to choose a side. That was more her intended purpose with a lot of things, forcing choices on others yet in a rather sly and mysterious way. The truth of the matter was always there, perhaps a bit hidden from the naked eye, but it was always there, to say the least. Curiosity, to see Riley’s reaction to everything was the current path she was working on though, that did not mean that her mind didn’t cross Laura. It wasn’t that she didn’t enjoy the company of the woman or even want her to touch her, there will be a time and a place for it all to come out piece by piece. Right now the best thing she could do was to keep her interested and always wondering what her next move would be. She could count on her crossing paths with Laura either, a little bit later in the night or soon knowing how the girls mind worked. That continuous smile only seemed to brighten as her eyes kept on Riley, feeling those arms curl around her a bit tighter.

Caught in his own devious little plan maybe he didn’t have one at this point, maybe he was just testing her to see how or even what she would do? He so far had been trying out her buttons in his own little ways, which she couldn’t blame him; she was a piece of work heart and soul. The grip loosened a bit which, was a bit to her surprise alas she did figure though, that if she made a move for it he would follow her every wake, he would become her new shadow. Curling the tips of her fingers around the base of her neck as he did allow the action, she could easily snap it if she choose, for he seemed like he just drank a love potion N.9. Her intentions would never be such against this man unless she caught in certain acts which she would not be approving off and that alone, he would have to worry about more than just a simple snap of the neck. Those entrapping eyes had her at the ensnare attempting to read past their meaning he was a male she was sure that one would act as such when a female, was in their presence especially one without any cloths.
A very surprising thing indeed, perhaps she didn’t have him pegged completely right, or he just was trying to make sure that he wouldn’t be loosing his jewels any time soon. Finally, feeling his hand against her lower waistline arching her back ever so gently against it, how she longed to feel the touches, she had missed over the years.

Tristan had been the only one, ever she let close, and she had forgotten the sense of pleasure that joined the touches in harmony. A soft gasp tinted over her lips, the loneliness that had been felt all those years carefully was getting stroked, though a large void he would never be able to fill until Tristan was back, without him she was not a complete person, she knew it a little to well. The shake of the body could be felt she wondered, exactly what that sign was for perhaps she would prod it a little more to find out. Wrinkling up her forehead when he apologized it sent that look of confusion strike over her face the warmth of his lips placed themselves against her forehead, slightly caught off guard, but she didn’t push him away.

Nuzzling her head against the attempted hand touching over the wayward strands, they were hell once they got wet always sticking to everything. Giggling softly as her head remained against his chest she wondered how long it would actually take him to reach down and grab one of those beloved twins, perked to perfection the ripples of water teased the light pink nipples, yet her eyes wondered back down towards the shallow end of the pool. Many eyes seemed to be distracted with the sight, it didn’t matter to her, she had her own plans in place. Shuichi, she still hand unfinished business with that one that she would have to find herself attending too soon enough. The last thing she needed was him to start to yell thief through the school. Lifting her head up off his shoulder she looked up to him as his words stung through her like a stake to the heart, that was a very good question indeed what was she going or even planning on doing to him.

Blinking a couple of times the lashes of her eyes touched her cheeks lightly as her hand carefully started to move up his neck line. The warmth of breath against her neck could be felt as her toes curled together behind his back, not that he could see them of course, but the hue of her cheeks should be proof enough. Moving her hand across his neck gently her thumb keeping its hold so that she could lift his head, feeling the tease against the lobe of her ear once the question was asked, smiling brightly as she spoke. “ I didn’t choose anyone to follow suit. I acted and waited to see who would come for me. After all, that would leave it as you choose me. Neverless” quickly she went to press a finger against his lip as if to silence him if he spoke, that innocent stare held very true in her eyes as she attempt to push yourself up his frame a little more to try and spare off the height difference, thus it would also make a near grinding motion against him. “I am glad that it was you to beat everyone else to the chase.”


Bracing fingers against her back it didn’t really cause her worry it was a sensual move on any ones part, the only thing that she knew, was going to be the next questions at stake. Tristan’s mark could easily be seen on the underside of her butt if she allowed the right position to make it visible and there was no denying the scares. Leaning upwards coming nearly nose to nose with him keeping her firm hold against his waistline so that the waters would not part with them. Her breast could now be seen above the waterline, if there were onlookers they could indulge themselves in the site, it was almost as if she was taunting them from afar. Speaking in that softened whispered tone as her hand started to apply pressure to the back of his neck drawing it towards her, in attempt. “A long story is in store for those that line my back, a bed time story some night if you ever want to know the truth behind the marks. However, save that for later… now.” A light inclination of her head moved forward bringing her lips inches from his own instinctively those sparkling pools of violet closed, as her head moved forward to capture his lips. This was a daring move on her part, wondering if he would actually accept the antic’s, parting them slightly she smoothing them over his own in a delicate kiss, if he didn’t respond back she didn’t care, she owed him one. It was his reward after all for getting what she had asked for.

There was many active things working around behind Riley that he would have loved to take notice of. There was Laura and Nate having their little exchange of differences; of course, she seems to have run across her own little feud with with Shuichi. The man seemed out of place, Riley would glance back from his mind, but he hoped that the man would take notice to the cute kitten resting inside her comfortable blankets beside the pool. Valina was looking for that special playmate that could keep her occupied for a little while. Everyone else, minus Laura, seemed a bit preoccupied with their own little events to take much heed to the different aggressors of the hour. Riley has finally ensnared himself a cute little girl, someone that he has been eying for the past while. It was not as if he could make the situation as perfect as possible, since he was a man and was bound to make a few mistakes, but he hoped others would get the general idea to let them two alone for a little while. He wasn't planning on anything that could be issued as strong PDA (Public Display of Affection) but hell, can they blame him for wanting to be a bit cuddly? Lillian was a sexy feline that he wanted to at least gander into those fiery hues for a little while longer.

If Lillian was using some kind of love potion or some kind of spell to attract Riley over to her so easily, he would have to wonder why? Lillian was a fun gal to hang around with on those boring days after school. She seems to be able to stomach him, somewhat, and her mysteries only added to her beautiful glamor he always wanted to at least touch in complete awe. Now that he had her to himself, he was speechless for words to describe it. It was not as if he reached the finish line, her awaiting at the end as a trophy that he had won from the Kentucky horse races. She was more of a delicate flower he just picked up, and he had to care for it with love an affection or she would wither away from him. Such poetry was not beyond the grasp of Riley, he just preferred that public displays of it was rather too awkward for him. Besides, it sounded too cliche for him to say aloud without turning questionable heads. His gaze was a light smirk, followed by an attempt to place a kiss on her cute little nose.

Her little reactions to every touch sent spirals of cuddly warm emotion down his spine. The way she curled to his grasp around her waist made his eyes light up with a sense of comfortable passion. Even her little shake from the tension building up inside of her sent millions of comfortable signals throughout his body. She was perfect for what his mind and soul began to ache for, and the knowledge that his simple touches made her squirm with delight only fueled his bodily aches to pull her closer to his chest. Riley was the type of man that would only enjoy feeling close if the partner was at the same level or above him. He could not, would not relax until she was able to. Seeing a woman in her happiest of states was the pride and joy of his youth. He would run a mile backwards in his boxers to get a giggle from anyone... and it would seem, he could do 3 miles completely naked for Lillian if only to catch a glimpse of her soft smile.

It took all of his inner resistance to control his more sexual desirable emotions at this point. Like a lid over a tea pot on a burner, it rattled lightly as the tensions continued to heat up around them. Riley was surprised to notice that he was not getting a raging problem between the knees at this point, but maybe it was because she sent such a soothing calmness throughout his body that his 'other self' could easily calm himself down without going into freak out 'stand at attention' mode. It was a reassuring feeling to know that he could control himself around this woman. It shows that he was more interested in hold her close instead of finding ways to get into her panty drawer. Nevertheless, he had to note that all men fall once they are tempted by such passionate forces. A man's sex drive could only be pressed into so many times before it kicks in and wants to play. For how long could he last without trying to reach out to run an angelic digit over those fine perky breasts that ached for his attention. Or that swell of such a perfect ass that his palms wanted to smooth over like a tongue over an ice cream cone.

His desires were still there, ever so present, but for the time being they were kept under control. A beast quietly locked up in a cage was still a beast, and he had to be careful to not let his mind wander too far... or the beast might become anxious and break the bindings in his cage. This will be be bad news on his part, when he is trying his best to make a good impression on the attractive, yet naked, Lillian that was clutching to his body every so tightly. Turning his head in her given direction, he felt a finger tip pressed against his lips lightly. Soothing his consciousness with immediate awe and relaxation. “I am glad that it was you to beat everyone else to the chase.” Her fingertip alone made him melt like butter in his hands. Once more, he had to struggle quietly to keep afloat. Inside, he wanted to seep into the depths of the waters and drift along with her forever... holding her into his arms as the cool abyss encased them to be sealed along with the deep blue sea.

Such strange thoughts caused his mind to quiver in delight. "I just reacted is all...." He didn't want to sound like some horny freak show of a male, but it was his reaction that brought his legs into motion when her skin slipped itself into the aquatic waters of the pool. Before he knew it, he was already holding her in his arms.... feeling her soft and warm fingertips wrapped around his neck. Her soft cool voice breaking the silence within his mind with such a force, the torrents swept him off of his feet. “A long story is in store for those that line my back, a bed time story some night if you ever want to know the truth behind the marks. However, save that for later… now.” The story about the scars on her back, his mind was already contemplating his next course of actions. It was not as if he did not want to know; it was the fact that he did not need to know. He would be happy to note that she was happy now, in his arms, than a few days ago in a small town somewhere off the coast. When he is with her, all he wants is for her to be happy and comfortable around him. He would only stir the nest only if she was handing him the stick and telling him to wack at it. Otherwise, he was just concerned with her happiness.

Merely shaking his head in response, he gave her a slight nod. "You can tell me when you feel up to it... for now, I don't want to bring up such sorrows. All I want to see is a cute smile on your face." His only spare hand would attempt to cup to her cheek, tilting his head with slight satisfaction. He could read her lips before her mind was slowly setting the kiss in motion. His fingers would try to interlace around her cheek, helping to guide her head into the kiss by trying to tilt it ever so slightly. As those luscious lips pressed against his own, he tilted his head in response and pressed back with a light notion of solitude and happiness. Letting his lips part, he tries to only deepen the delicate kiss by trying to press his lips across the bottom of her lip... slipping them around for a moment to suckle on that beautifully made bottom lip. His tongue would rest in his own lair, easily preventing something from ruining her adorable kiss. He had forgotten all about 'his reward' from earlier, and hell he would not force her in any case. Being happy to know she was happy was more than enough of a prize for his own mentality.

Before the kiss would deepen, he would slowly trail away from the kiss with a solemn smile across his cheeks. It was finally his turn to blush a sunrise hue across his cheeks, showing a sense of embarrassment for the delicate kiss she laid across his lips. For a moment he was silent, trying to let his thumb rub across the bottom of her lip. He would gaze across her hues with his bright blue ones, searching for the words he wanted for this situation. All he had was the mind numbing sensation left behind from their first kiss. His eyes were casually relaxed, searching for the words that he so desperately needed. After a long silence, he pulled closer to her once more... his lips only an inch or so apart. "Just like a delicate flower.." His lips would try to press against hers once more. Trying to heaten the moment with a more passionate kiss.

He had brushed aside her attempt to silence him. So, he was the incorrigible one now. That was funny, he thought looking at her smiling. He had to admit, he enjoyed seeing the shock on her face as he spoke. As her hand closed over his wrist, he turned and was led back inside towards the pool. "Just when the night seemed to be winding down, you spin me around again," he told her. "As for stirring up nonsense, as you say, well who's to say what I was going to do. But, okay, I'll stay a bit, even if it's only to know this group you seem to be so found of. And besides, I'm not sure that discretion would be your strong suit, but I'm willing to learn. Who knows, maybe I'll be able to teach you a think or two," he said as he followed behind her, his gaze roaming over the swish of her hips.

Hearing her introduce him, he looked back at the kids in the pool and gave a wave. He turned back to her only to notice that she had stopped to talk to Valina. His steps stopped, but not before he softly pressed against her. "Sorry about that," he whispered in her ear, his lips only a hair's thickness from her soft skin. Stepping back, he listened to her introductions. "Yeah, who woudn't know him, well not if you want a dorm," he said smiling. "And her, well we've had our introductions already. Now that I think of it, I offered her a bed as well and she was not to inclined to accept it. Maybe she just doesn't feel the need for them." His eyes followed her finger as she pointed to the coupled. "I guessed as much, I mean I heard Lillian saying their names before I came in. And I don't know how shy she is, seeing as how, well they are in a roomful of people. Still, I bet her cheeks get a very pretty pink color when she blushes," he told her smiling. "Ah, yes, I've met your little friend here. Hello again Valina," he said, opting for her name instead of the pet ones she gave. "My name is Shuichi Saitou. So, don't let anything Laura tells you scare you," he said winking at the girl. "I'm not as much 'Trouble' as she makes me sound."

He watched as she sat down, he moved to the other side, adhering to her sense of discretion. Never let it be said that he wasn't one to follow rule, well that was if they didn't bother him too much. He watched the two girls and grinned, once again, the wheels of his mind turning. Catching Laura's gaze, he listened to her description of this little impromptu meeting. His eyes watched the playful nudge and shook his head. Maybe she had forgotten her earlier comments or maybe she had just forgotten who it was she was teasing once again. Had not their prior meeting in the hallway to his room taught her anything? How could she not guess that he would take up the gauntlet she had so casually just tossed at his feet? Hearing Valina's question, only made him grin. "One moment please Val," he told her, that mischievous grin still painted on his face

He stood up without saying a word. His bare feet making soft sounds and he made his way around the pool, walking with purpose. About three quarters of the way there, his intentions were made clear as he removed his shirt, dropping it to the ground as he continued to walk to the diving boards. As he approached the high dive, he stood behind the ladder and looking through the rungs, looked at Laura, arching his eyebrow as he played with the waistband of his shorts. With a wry grin, he slid then down across his thighs, letting them fall to the floor. Being that they were the same ones he had on in his dorm, there was nothing else underneath, of course, the ladder might have done a job of hiding him, but he doubted it. He climbed the ladder and walked to the edge of the platform. He stood there, looking out over the water. The gifts he had been given bare for all to see. Only the lights, shadows, and the reflection of the water painted his skin. As he looked around, he noticed that one, no two had preceded him. He was sure that Lillian had not expected him to get this bird's eye view of her own gifts, he smiled. As they say, timing was everything. He dove down into the water, swimming to the opposite side. He remained under the water until he was about to reach the wall. Coming up in front of the two girls, who had stay where he left them, he smiled as he reached the edge. Pulling himself out of the water and turning to sit by Laura, he pulled off his hair tie and shook out his hair. "That, my little pink friend is but one of the differences," he told her. Looking at Laura, he asked, his voice dripping with a tone of challenge, "So, I just cleared the path of obstacles. But tell me darlin', are you brave enough to follow?"

Laura had somehow managed to place herself between a hard place and a rock, and there would be no wiggling free without suffering a few scapes in the process. If the girl had thought that she had successfully called "Check" with that lil game she invited Shuichi to play, then the boy had just countered her tactic magnificiently and called an indisputable "Check Mate." The way Laura saw it, she had only two choices: Either step up her game or forfeit. The thing about that logic, though, was this; She wasn't a girl who gave up easily, and she wasn't the sort to back down once she had stepped up.

Laura glanced at the clock hanging on the far wall, quickly calculating how long it would be before Nathaniel returned. There was still time, she decided, to win this heated game she and Shuichi had been locked into since the very day they had first met. At this point, it was a matter of principle really. Winners never quit, and quitters never win, right?

Laura's senses were fine tuned at the moment, and she missed nothing. She watched from the corner of her eye as Lillian and Riley turned up the heat, but lost interest quickly and looked away. It seemed 'love' was blossoming between those two, and that was something Laura had no concept of or remote interest in either. She was fond enough of both of them, though, to be happy for the bond they shared with one another and the sanctuary they found within their shared embraces. Love suited them, she supposed, and it was another sort of joy altogether just to see them smile.

Ever watchful and oddly silent she remained as Laura became captivated by Arik after he freed himself from Kazumi's grasp only to peel down his shorts a minute later as he walked naked to the shallow end of the pool as casually as if he were taking a stroll in the park. Laura had always thought him much too timid to pull a bold stunt like that, but apparently she had read the boy wrong all along. Laura didn't even care if Arik caught her staring at his nudity because, seriously, who wouldn't? While the boy may have not been blessed with the ability to speak, he was certainly favored in other, more physical, ways and Laura couldn't help but wonder just how familiar Kazumi was with Arik's body and the pleasures he was certainly equiped to deliver. For a fleeting instant, Laura was jealous, but she didn't know who of. Was it the pretty strawberry blonde who held the boy captivated and utterly enthralled by her own delicious charms, or was it the boy who would soon know the ecstacy awaiting him between the vice of kazumi's shapely thighs. Laura shook her head as Arik swam to the middle of the pool, his nakedness concealed beneath the water. It was best not to dwell on such thoughts as those. Afterall, things were already confusing enough.

And then there was Trouble to steal away her attentions like he was so good at doing. Laura watched as Shuichi made his way to the diving board, so full of confidence and arrogance that it made her want to scream. He seemed to prick at her in ways few could, and he took pleasure in doing it, too. The boy had not a moments hesitation as he pulled off his shirt and then tossed it down, offering her eyes the lean cut of his back as he kept on walking, determination to call her bluff in every step that he took. She couldn't look away, and the girl would swear that the way he pulled off his shorts was the sexiest thing she had ever seen. Again, there was no hesitation as he peeked at her through the rungs of the ladder almost daring her NOT to look as he climbed up and then stepped onto the platform. My, God, but he was a magnificient male specimen to feast her eyes upon, and Laura drank in every inch of the boy from the top of his head to the tips of his toes...and most assuredly not missing any inches in between.

When he dove into the water, her fingers tingled to feel his skin beneath her nails, to feel the muscles tensing in that perfectly chisled ass of his as he anchored himself between her thighs. The boy had sent her thoughts to running wild and free, and it was those decadently deviant thoughts, Laura feared, which would surely be her undoing if she didn't get a grip on her carnal inclinations, and damn soon, too. The thing about that, though was this; the reigns of self control were a slippery harness indeed, and Laura never had found a solid grip on them in the whole of her life.

Laura had caught Valina's curious question a few minutes before about what the difference was between a boy and a girl, and she tore her eyes away from Shuichi when his form disappeared below the surface of the water to turn and look at the girl. "If you just saw him standing up there on the diving board with nothing but the light reflecting off his skin, then you've seen what a boy looks like, doll." Laura paused and quickly corrected herself. "No, you've seen what a man looks like...The sight of a naked boy doesn't quite have the same affect that Shuichi's bare image is having on me right this minute. Can you feel it, too?" How could the girl not, even in all her innocence, feel a subtle stirring between her sleek thighs at such a delicious sight? How could Valina not be experiencing the same heated moisture seeping from her most intimate core? Impossible, Laura decided. Impossible. Laura tried to explain, as best she could so the girl would understand.

"It is kind of like that lovely lil' pair of black panties I hung up to dry for you a few minutes ago. You didn't have to try them on in the store to know you wanted them...to know they would feel good against your skin, and be a perfect fit, too. You just knew, right? It's the same thing with a man and a woman...sometimes you just know they're gonna feel good."

Laura would have continued with that lame ass explanation, but she couldn't resist turning back to face Shuichi as he swam over to their side of the pool and then hoisted himself out of the water to sit by her side. It was his taunting words, though, that would cause Laura to slowly rise to her feet.

"So, I just cleared the path of obstacles. But tell me darlin', are you brave enough to follow?"

Laura was smiling that signature smile of hers as she looked down at the naked boy, her eyes drifting appreciatively over every exposed portion of his flesh. "Oh, I'm damn sure brave enough, doll..." she said just before lifting the hem to her black tank top and pulling it off over her head, catching the length of her lavendar hair in the process so that her bare breasts were fully exposed to him. Though not large, each mound was ample enough to sit perfeclty in the palm of any man's hand should he cup them from beneath to weigh and measure them, the perky upward curve of each one causing the peaks of her breasts to jut skyward as if pleading to the Heaven's above for wicked attention. Surrounding her soft, unaroused nipples were dark spheres, the rosey flesh of each areola remaining smooth and unpuckered for the moment.

That brief glimpse would not last long, though, as Laura's hair fell back down into place to shield them from Shuichi's view even before her shirt landed in his lap. Next, Laura kicked off her flip flops rather unceremoniously, letting them fall where they may as those hidden breasts of hers jiggled behind lavender locks at her effort. Laura's eyes remained fixated on Shuichi's own, that smile of hers still perfectly in place as she raised one hand to that space between her delectable mounds, letting her palm smooth downward with deliberate slowness as if to draw his attention to that taunt, sleekly toned abdomen of hers. Her index finger toyed with the dangling ring pierced through her navel, flicking it playfully as he watched before trailing sideways just an inch or two as her willowy digit traced along the thin gold chain which was encircling her waist and fasted to that piece of body jewelry.

Shuichi would watch as Laura's free hand lifted to join the other as both slipped down to the button of the jeans she wore slung way down low on those subtley curved hips. Quick were the motions of her fingers, undoing that single fastening and then wasting no time easing her zipper down, too. Laura latched both thumbs into the waist of her jeans at each hip, the front folds parting to reveal at hint of the sheer pink panties she wore beneath as she wiggled that sweet lil ass of hers from side to side while working her snug fitting pants down to mid thigh and no further. That thin, lacey veil stretched across the "V" of her sex did lil' to conceal the fact that the girl was quite obviously smoothly shaven at the front, but one could only wonder if the same attention was given to that heavenly space between her sleek, well toned thighs. Laura curled the fingers of one hand around the thin band of her panties at her side, pulling it out far and then letting go so that it popped loudly against her hip as it snapped back into place. "I've always been partial to the feel of a man's hands sliding over my skin as he undresses me, Shuichi. If you want the rest of my clothes peeled away, darlin', then I suggest you come over here and indulge that lil' whim of mine..."

Laura never took her eyes off the boy, but the words she spoke next were intended for the pretty, pink haired girl still laying sprawled out near her feet. "Why don't you give Shuichi that towel you're hiding under and come play with us, too? If you thought you were wet before when you climbed out of the pool, Sweetness...well, suffice it to say that there is an entirely different meaning to that word which I'm sure you'll enjoy learning all about."

Laura stood there half naked, waiting to see which of the two would move first, knowing full well that this game wasn't anywhere near being over yet.

At first, he thought he had scared her off once again, seeing as how she moved to her feet. Maybe it was the hallway all over again. But watching her dangerous smile spread across those luscious lips of hers, he thought twice about his previous assessment. He returned her smile, with one of his own as he leaned a bit to get a better view. So, she was going to step up to the challenge and provide him with a show. He guessed it would be a short one. More than likely she would only strip down so far and then hide in a towel. Still, he bet she would look good towel and all. "So, step up to the stage," he had started to say as she pulled off her shirt.

To say he was surprised was an understatement. It was all he could do to keep his jaw from dropping. Still, as shocked as he was by her actions, it did little to keep him from admiring the young lady's body. His eyes moved over the swell of her breast, drinking in every inch of exposed flesh. Suddenly the room had faded from his sight and all that remained was her creamy form. He licked his lips, his mind already moving faster that his normal thought process. Already, he could imagine letting his tongue move between, his hands caressing them, tugging at her nipples making those rosy buds blossom. He could almost feel his lips closing around them, his tongue circling the now stiff flesh. It was only her movements that brought his world back into focus.

But even as her hair tumbled before her to block his sight, it did not change matters; in fact, it only seemed to add to her allure. If before she had been beautiful, now she was Venus. However not even that work of art had those lustrous lavender locks, no those were all her own. His hand half started to reach out and take them between his fingers just as he had the moment when they had met again after all that time. Only this time, Miss De'Loroque would not be interrupting. His eyes found hers and held them as softly as one would a new born. And although, he eyes never left hers, he saw her hand move between those tantalizing breast.

Watching as she slowly traced a path down to the flat of her belly, he offered her a smile and a questioning raise of his eyebrow. Surely her play had come to an end. Still, she was a impulsive and reckless person. He almost laughed, thinking that she could be this twin and yet thanking his stars that she was anything but. The flicker of the light off the golden chain brought him out of his silent thanks giving. He looked at the dangling hoop in which the chain passed through. His hands began to itch with the desire to just reach out and touch her, but would that be breaking the rules of their games. Up until now it had always been the slightest touches, headed words and opportunities left untaken. But as he watched her hands slip to the button of her jeans, he wondered how much of those rules no longer applied and if the game had somehow turned into real life.

It was only through pure sense of will that he kept from leaping at her and pulling off her pants. She seemed to be enjoying the effect she was having on him as she slowly undressed. He had to smile when he saw the pretty shade of pink that were her panties. He didn't know what he expected, but pink was not it. Maybe a nice purple to match her hair, or blue, even red to match her fiery spirit. Pink seemed so girlish. Maybe it was because until then, he had see her as a dangerous and worthy opponent; and now, well now he was seeing the girl beneath. And what a sight it was. His eyes never left her as she peeled the jeans from her hips, stopping just so he could see a glimpse of what lay beneath. He looked at the tantalizing flesh and began to think about how smooth is tongue would run across her velvety skin.

As he heard the pop of her panties against her hip, he gave a small movement towards her, as if the sound was an official's starter pistol. She had done more than he had expected of her, but then that was no surprise. She was always throwing him for a loop when he least expected it. And if her actions until now had been ones of shock and awe, then the next words she spoke were more so. At first he wasn't sure he had heard her right. Only when she spoke to Valina did her words register. It was then that he saw the extent of her resolve and he had to laugh silently. So much for teaching him discretion. No, that ship had sailed and there was no point in trying to catch it now.

He looked at her and asked, "SO, it's a man's touch you desire?" he asked her. Then far be it from me to keep a lady waiting," he said as he got to his feet, the effects of her little show visible on his naked form. He stepped towards her, his body moving into hers. He was so close to her now that he could feel the heat radiating from her partially naked form. So, it was up to him to finish that transformation. She should know that he would have taken up the offer. It was ever the case with her. It was always, anything you can do, I can do better. And right now, her show had out done his. Hers even had audience participation and he was the lucky audience member who walked on the stage.

He leaned his head close to her, almost touching her neck with his lips. He inhaled her sweet fragrance as he lips moved to her ear. "I hope this isn't one of those moments that we have to put off to later," he whispered to her. "If it is, then teachers be damned. I'm going to fulfill that request and remove every inch of fabric from you body. He moved down to his knees, his breath trailing along her skin as he lowered his body. His breath washed over the flesh between her breast, down to her belly and past the chain. His tongue brushed gently across her ring, still not touching that flesh it wanted to run across.

He purposely moved his hands in between her thighs, getting so as close as he could with out touching her. He looked up at her and gave her a wicked grin a he started to inch her pants down along those shapely thighs and across her calves. He moved to take one of them in his hand as he raised it so that he could pull off the leg of her pants. He did the same to the other leg, his eyes on hers the entire time. Then, if she would allow him to be so bold, he would then move his hands along her calves, moving up her well rounded thighs to the swell of her hips, his fingers slipping beneath the thin strands of her panties. He would then let his finger trace inward, pulling the back away from where it reset just above that covered mound of flesh only to pull the fabric out and not down. If left to his indulgence, he would lean close his hot breath moving beneath the sheer fabric as he let his teeth close on the fabric before slowly starting to tug them down.

" Nice to meet you! I'm sure Laura is just teasing I guess , or else maybe you really are trouble and just being sneaky..." Valina's smile grew bolder while she remained where she was , nestled in her blanket covering with no intent of escaping it. It was as if she were cuddled up in bed getting all relaxed and comfortable , but with a movie playing. And what better movie to watch then perhaps an educational one when in doubt? Valina had no doubt , only curiosity which was as innocent as a child asking where rain comes from or why the grass is green.With that same brand of innocence , she watched the boy as if suddenly she should be aware of a difference.


From Valina's vantage point in her short juvenile life , she had yet to see a major difference in the genders of people. To her , people were an amazing thing to be regarded with full blue eyes wonder. So many differences in sound , look , smell , colors , and behavior. Now that she was pressed into a way to define them differently by gender , it was confusing the blue eyed cutie. The girl's slender frame settled into a cross legged position to the right of Laura , still wrapped in her cotton asorbent veil. Like a pair of angels wings closing about her to shield her from certain forces of decadence that were going to happen. And slowly they did happen . Valina's eyes followed the boy's walking body like a Prep girl watches the sale rate on a new pair of "In" shoes. Drinking in information given to her about his form , her eyes skimmed over the difference in his body the moment his shirt came off and she was able to view his back. The only difference she noted so far was that unlike her own smooth and slender back which curved down into a nice little pert bottom , his was chiseled a bit , smooth in it's own way , but with a firmness instead of a softness. It was as close to the same as Caramel and Butterscotch seemed to be at first , but different.


"Hnn.." A thoughtfully quiet little noise ebbed from her while she tried to take in that he was indeed different. It was hard for her , because she viewed people as all the same at the core , but different on the outside. After all , people were people , even though they acted different then each other and looked different and evidently there was a d- ...Brain fart. Valina's thought train went from " Huh , I don't really see too much of a difference at all " To " HOLY CRAP THERE ISN'T ANYMORE TRACKS IN THE ROAD WHAT'S THAT POKING OUT FROM HIS BODY?" Followed of course but a terrible crashing noise as a bit of reality she had made erupted into a fiery explosion from her thought train. Where her eyes had been scanning his body lightly , they became focused like a lazer as his trunks dropped. Not staring right at his nethers , but because evidently there was supposed to be the difference. It was really only noted when he climbed up the rungs of the ladder , and what really got her attention was no doubt the work of gravity on the member he was charged with. Movement never seemed to escape her gaze , and she could only see a glimpse here and there. The little strip tease show was lost on the girl , who seemed to not hold any interest or signs of being effected. She's been around naked bodies mostly all night as is anyway , what's a few more?



Still. There was something important to ask about. The smile on her face was still there , but it held a somewhat shy and curious nature to it. After all , how do you inquire poliety about something on someone's body? She couldn't just say in a casual tone of voice like it wasn't that big of a deal considering she was told people's appearances was something they were picky and sensative about. The wonderful mind that was hers to have was grinding with questions. She turned to Laura to ask , but even as her lips were moving she noticed that the girl was lost in her own mental voyage. However...by the looks of it it was much different then her own. Plus , Valina could tell a difference mostly by.....her senses. Pheremones where in the air no doubt , and no doubt they have been all night but she had yet to sit next to them. It was a musky sweet smell. Sort of a biting smell that lulled and tried to bring one closer to it's source. Like bait , it was made to have it's soul purpose to be attraction. To what and whom it wasn't so picky about. Laura's smelled stronger , more biting , not lulling but grabbing. It seemed to want to cloud her nose with only it and use it's hooks to tug the pretty pink haired girl's head closer to the source. Poor Valina was in for a surprise however as the boy came back to settle in to the left of Laura like nothing ever happened and a wide grin on his face. He was oh-so-pleased with himself no doubt. New smells. New sights. Valina's form sloooowwwlllyyy shifted foreward to peek around the undressing Laura , giving a bit further lean as her breasts took up her vision while they bounced freely and bare. Did Valina give them a look? Nope. Not that they weren't nice , certainly a bit bigger then her own , but she wasn't curious about them at the moment.

As her head craned around , a hand rose to part the curtain of pink hair that clouded her blue radiantly curious eyes from gazing upon what they wanted to look at in higher detail. As heavy as a book , her curious gaze plopped right into the boy's lap without so much as a warning. There was a difference. Close up , she could see that indeed the boy was different in two ways. One , the general rule of being more firm was evident , even to someone as curious of her. Not saying that the nice boy sitting with them was a muscle bound stud who rippled from head to toe with over excessive power , but he sported more muscle then Valina did , whom was sleeker and smooth , smaller , and limber. And two , was that instead of that oh so familar little slit that she sported , he sported something...else. It was just jutting up from his lap. It sort bobbed there while Laura was doing her thing in the background of Valina's vision. Sadly , Laura was drowned out by Valina's one topic focused mind. Staring with now a sort of confused look on her face ,her hand lowered from flicking the strands from her view to settling on her bracelet and toying with it a bit in thought. It took her a few minutes to decide how she felt on the manner of the thing he sported. After a descision , and a moment to be introduced to the muskier and more blunt smells of a man , this one smelling like a darker musk , mild and tingly , yet effective as it seeped in with all the stealth and power of a specter in the dark , she broke into a giggle fit. You heard it right , a giggle fit.


Airy wonderfully warm giggles shot from her mouth as the smaller girl toppled backwards onto the pool side floor with a mild thump , her towel clad body scrunching up as if having a tummy ache , but her whole body shook with laughter , shaking her head a little while both hands clamped onto her mouth to stiffle her little fit. And why not? Penis was a funny thing. Why would there be so many jokes about them then? And thinking about it , having something jutting out like that would seem funny when first told " Yeah ,boy's have this thing that juts out like a pointer". She wasn't mocking Shuichi at all , but she found that particular part of him amusing. While laying there trying her best not ti giggle any more and having the luck of someone trying to not to have to breathe ,Valina heard Laura's suggestion. That made her snap her focus back to the topless Laura , giving her a giggle as well as they tittered down into a amused smile on her face while she listened. Then , like a confused animal , cocked her head to the side to show that she had no real idea what she was talking about an effect. Wetness? Where? She was as dry and warm as ever.


"I'm warm though...it's going to be cold if I take the towel off." A slight protesting tone was in the girl's mild and appeasing voice. The mention of Play was something she was interested in though. Games were a good thing , playing was too. So in an act of simple debate , she peered downwards at the towel , then the other two whom were naked. Her gaze skimmed past to peer across the water at Lillian , whom was naked , and then further to Arik. Everyone was naked indeed. That seemed to be the final coaxing point for the pink haired girl , whom quietly peeled off the towel from her body , letting it puddle about her form while she sat there cross legged in the nude. Gooseflesh immediatly tickled up her arms and a shiver snaked up her back. Sitting there as naked as one could be , she still kept playing with her Bracelet idly while she watched. It wasn't like Valina wasn't pretty enough to join in the certain activities. To a contrast , she was smaller then the other girl's frames were. Valina was trim and petite , her body following that looked delicate. Yet it was no doubt toned in it's own forge of her playful energies. She was soft looking , from her sides and hips , to the rise of her bottom half hidden in the towel , to her lovely yet small breasts that were holding their perfectly firm and round shape , rising and falling with each intake of air and exhale. A smooth flat tummy , pretty rounded hips and thighs , and dainty little feet topped with dainty little toes. She was cute. Not full bodies and down right a diva of decadence , but she was without much doubt cute and lovely.

"What sort of game are we playing? Do I need to get my clothes and put them back on to take them off again?" The innocence that was Valina asked with a tone that beset her bubbly nature for a more shy one. She didn't really understand the smells and intentions of the others , or their bond for another , but she felt like she wanted to be a part of the festivities if she felt comfortable with them. Sitting there nude , she watched upwards as Shuichi undressed Laura , gathering the clothing that fell with a smile on her lips which never faltered. The flip flops kicking everywhere seemed to fill her with glee as she caught one , and narrowly missed the other. Then came the pants , which she bundled with the shoes and places in her own lap to hold onto them , waiting for them to be done or pause so she could ask where to put them " Hee!This is a strange type of play...I thought people taking their clothes off wasn't allowed in a building?"

The angelic touches of there lips tasted like sweet honey nectars pulled from the angels themselves from the angels above. Riley loved to kiss. The sweet passion of it all, from light touches to the full extent of trying to devour one's soul into the admist of it all. His inner hungers try to devour his more considerable approaches, his lips were clasped against hers. His tongue would run across his own to reassure the kiss was perfect. She was rather delectable kisser, and his inner urges thirsted for more of her sweet touches. His shock was slowly subsiding from the situation, as his mind was only in tuned to Lillian's interactions. All he wanted to do was to touch this girl for just a bit longer. It was not within the sense he wanted to enter her, it was more of the desire to just be close to her. Just the physical attraction that it was needed to be so. The purring only added to that flavorable sensation within his sensual desires to continue to hold her into his arms. For some odd reason or another, this was all he contemplated on. He did not want to entreat any farther than a few light touches of their skin. He was happy, for just this moment.

Then he felt it, it was a light push into his gut. There was nothing more he could describe it, but it felt as like butterflies in his stomach. He was not nervous, that thought was true. This woman was perfect in his eyes, so it would not be unusual to have this belly floating feeling across his abdomen... but there was something else in the air. Something he was missing, it was on the tip of his tongue but he could not register it. As much as his mind tried to pry into it to find out what it was, the feeling retreated within his mind... leading him down the path of darkening wonders. His mind slowly came into reality, as his lips began to press across her own... just about to kiss her once more. Then he saw it, the look of shock in her eyes. He was speechless for a moment, he hoped he didn't do anything wrong. "Hey Lillian... you okay?" Her eyes continued to expand, getting worse by the second.

Taking a quick mental check of his body, he was trying to figure out a problem had occurred between his knees. Checking inbetween his legs quickly, a light sigh escaped his lips. "Okay, thats not the problem." For the sake of the gods themselves, he was gifted with the perseverance of not having a boner at the wrong moment. The situation definitely called for it, given the fact that she was naked and he was almost naked. Nevertheless, he was gifted with a nice present for the time being. As his eyes shifted upward towards Lillian, a quirky smile spread across his lips. "You alright, sweetie?" The amount of concern spread across his cheeks as his tone changed from playful to heavily concerned in a matter of seconds. Watching her grab at her neck, a light sigh of false relief escaped his lips. "Don't worry, if you dropped your necklace I can go down and fish for it...." He did not remember her wearing it before, so it might not be on this side of the pool. Nevertheless, he gave her a soft smile. "Don't worry, ole Riley will take care of the problem."

As that smirk faded from his lips, he could easily read something was dreadfully wrong. "Sweetie... are you alright?" The time for games was over, he could recognize that expression from a mile away. It was as obvious as a pink beetle in the middle of a crowd of black sedans. His hand would reach out to try to grasp a hand across her cheek, a light smile on his cheeks. "Let's try to get you out of the poo-" He was cut off, as she frantically pushed away from him. Keeping his hands off, he thought it was something that he did. "H-hey, you okay?!" Of course, they were the first words that came out of his mouth, a random girl after a nice passionate make out session pushed away from him like he was filth of the earth. As if she was regretting every touching him. It was a stab at his manly pride that caused him to freak out a little on the inside, but the gut feeling inside of his stomach continued to increase. His little 'warning sensor' was wigging out like a crazed Mexican dancing around a campfire.

As he continued to see the terror in her eyes, he said fuck it internally. He was not going to let her swim out there by herself. In a panic such as that, she could easily drown unless she had some help. His arms darted out as he swam to try to keep up with her. The warning bell only continued to increase inside of his mind, causing his muscles to cramp from the sheer... fear? Was it fear once more riddling across his mind? What the hell should he be scared of? She was just a girl-“ BY MY HANDS YOU ARE BOUND, YOU WILL NOT DISMAY. BY MY HANDS YOU HAVE NO POWER. YOU WILL OBEY. BY MY HANDS, I GIVE YOU LIFE. YOU WILL NOT LIVE. BY MY HANDS I BI….” His mind shut down, what the fuck did she just say? What the hell was going on?

Shaking his head, he tried to clear his thoughts. He needed to focus. Why the hell would she say something like that unless it meant something? Maybe she was acting a play and she was trying to shout out one of her lines at random? Then he saw it... the red familiar crimson that was seeping across her body. He saw it, and his mind went berserk for a second. WHY THE HELL IS SHE BLEEDING SO MUCH?! His mind obviously went that she was on her perio- NO, BAD RILEY. As he watched her breath give out, he let out a cry. "Lillian!" There was no other choice in the manner, he had to intervene. His arm would reach out, just as she was clutching to stay afloat. In his mind, all he had to do was to grasp her hand. Just take a hold of it... please... just grab it. His hand would try to grasp along her wrist, trying to pull her towards his grasp. There was no time, he had to get her out of the pool. She would continue to bleed, and he had to figure out where before she bled to death. There was no other choice!

He would try to pull her towards the pool's edge, with a little helpless flailing on his part. It was extremely hard to drag someone by the hand... but luckily she made most of the trip by herself. All he had to do was cover the remaining 2 feet or so... but that two feet was a long treck. Trying to hold under her armpits, he would climb out the side and turn around. The hard part. "GET HELP!" He would call out to any of the remaining occupants. "Give me Towels now!" Another order would shout out, as he would try to pull her out of the pool, trying to place his hands under her armpits as he did so. "UMPH!!!" It would take all of his strength to tug her out of the waters. He had to be careful, making sure if she allowed it that he would not make any part of her body scrape against the side, minus her butt. His mind would take notice of the underside of her butt, where if he lifted her out of the water and into the air for a split second.

Nevertheless, he just did not have time to wait for the others. If he had to, he would perform the operation himself if he knew where the problem was. Emergency medical care was probably not his best suit, but applying quick pressure to the wound was not that hard to comprehend. He could not find it just yet, but the first move was to get his pants so that he could call for help. Trying to lay Lillian down onto the ground, he would quietly whisper into her ear. "Wait just a second, I will be right back... hold on." He would try to place a kiss on top of her forehead, darting off for a moment he would return with his pants. As his hand fisted into his pockets, he would pull out all the objects in his pants to grab what he wanted. This, of course, caused all of his items to burst out of his pockets... One item of which would fall towards Lillian's hand. The iron shards. "Hey guys, bring me those towel's please?!" He would call in a pleaded voice, as the blood continued to seep from her unknown wounds. He would frantically search for those wounds, but he just could not find them at the moment. "Come on... come on... where are they?!" He would grab his nearby shirt and neatly try to lay it across her chest.... trying to cover herself up properly for when people came over. His hands would dart to his cellphone, as he started to dial 911. "Come on-come-on-come-on-come-on!"
