Chapter 6d:  Excuse me?  What's that sound?  It sounds like a cherry  
					popping to me... 
 
	"PAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR-TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!"  the crowd yelled in
unison.  The fraternity house in which the party was being held, was
crowded and booming.  Only the people from that sorority and people who had
made a name for themselves on the campus were invited to these parties and
they usually ended up with everyone laying the one that they most
desired...*usually*.  Everyone at the party knew that...with the exception
of the only freshman invited to the party.  However, it does not always
work out as nicely as some would have planned it, especially with who was
doing the bartending.  Craig stood behind the counter that housed the frat
house's booze stash and the main stereo unit.  The speakers for the system
were wired all over the house.  Beside him was Myles.  They were chosen to
do the bartending and the disc jockeying because they were the only ones
who could still do the job right even after they had more than a few drinks
themselves. 
	A-ko walked into the frat house and looked around.  She was the only
freshman there.  That was because she was the only freshman to have made a
name for herself on campus...that day even.  That and some of the sorority
members wanted her...badly.  Unfortunately for them, they did not know that
they were not to go within ten feet of her with Myles around.  All eyes
were on A-ko as she stepped into the house.  A-ko was wearing her new tight
black, low/high-cut dress that she had just bought that day.  Myles' jaw
dropped through the counter.  Craig lowered his sunglasses and gawked at
the sight of the red-head.  Myles slugged his friend in the stomach.  Craig
glared at Myles and then bowed before him. 
	"Gomen.  Now I understand why you're so obsessed over her," Craig said,
bringing himself back up.  Craig reached into his duffle bag full of
compact discs and produced the first album of the night.  It was a
twentieth century hevy metal group call AC/DC.  The song was "For Those
About to Rock...(We Salute You!)".  With that, the party was well under way
and just about everyone in the house came over to the bar, ordering drinks
and beer.  Myles and Craig set them up properly. 
	A-ko sat down on a couch.  A-ko was happy to be there, but she still felt
bad that C-ko did not want to come.  _Oh well,_ she thought.  _At least
now, I'll be able to meet boys without her scaring them off._  She smiled
and looked up to see Kei chatting with some young blond girl.  _My, he's
certainly become more talkative since high school.  No!  I'm over him! 
There are plenty of boys here that I would like to get to know better._ 
A-ko stood up and decided to get something to drink.  She walked up the
counter.  Myles turned to her and then fell backwards onto the floor. 
Craig looked down at him, quickly changed CD's and pressed play.  He then
stood up and leaned his friend up against a wall.  He then turned to A-ko,
who was only standing there blinking. 
	"HEY!" he boomed.  "You rrook MA-velous!"  A-ko blushed.  "What can I get
for you?" 
	"Um, well," she said, nervously. 
	"First time drinking, huh?"  A-ko blushed again.  "Tell ya what.  Go ahead
and sit down, I'll make you a specialty," Craig said, winking at her.  A-ko
smiled and nodded and then turned to sit back down.  Craig turned to Myles
and smacked him across the face.  Nothing.  He smacked him again and again.

	"[KNOCK IT OFF!]" Myles yelled. 
	"Shut up.  You want me to set her straight, or no?" 
	"HAI!" 
	"Okay then, gimme some fruit punch and a *drop* of Bacardi rum.  This is
her first time drinking, so I want it to be a good experience for her." 
Myles turned around and then turned around again, this time holding a glass
filled with red liquid.  Craig took it from him and set it on the counter. 
He leaped over the counter, grabbed the drink and walked over to A-ko. 
	"Here you go," he said, handing the drink to A-ko.  She accepted the drink
with a smile and then sniffed it. 
	"Smells good, what is it?" she asked. 
	"I call it a 'beginner's specialty'.  It's more or less a light drink," he
replied, he then gestured toward the couch.  "Mind if I have a seat?" 
	"Sure," she said.  A-ko then took a sip of the drink.  "Hm, fruity." 
Craig smiled. 
	"That's what they all say about me..."  A-ko laughed.  "Um, listen,
there's something I need to tell you.  It's about..."  A-ko looked at Craig
and then blushed. 
	"Oh, Craig.  I...uh...I didn't know you felt that way about me...I..." she
started.  Craig shook his head violently and began to laugh.  A-ko jumped
back at his sudden boom of laughter. 
	"Hee hee...No, you don't understand...Although, I wouldn't mind going out
with you if it weren't for someone else." 
	"Who?" 
	"Well, that's...uh...I mean...I...that is...to say..." 
	"OY!  HOW 'BOUT SOME MUSIC!" a couple young men shouted. 
	"Shit!  I forgot to change the CD's again.  I'll be right back."  Craig
leapt over the counter and switched CD's again.  This time it was Priss and
the Replicants singing "Rock Me".  Myles gave Craig a quick glance.  "She
thought I liked her..."  Myles was about ready to kill him.  "But, I set
her straight on that...I'm still working on the other...hand on...when this
song plays out, put this one in."  Craig handed Myles the disc and then
swung himself back over the counter again. 
	"Okay," he said, plunking himself next to A-ko.  Craig stared for a moment
at her as the sudden movement he had made on the couch made A-ko's breast
bounce.  "I...uh... I wanted to talk to you about something you had said
earlier.  About..."  A-ko smiled sweetly at Craig.  _Shit, this is going to
be hard...Fuck it!  I can't do it!_ he thought.  Craig swallowed hard. 
"You...uh...had...it..."  Craig could not got through with it.  He was more
nervouse than he had reason to be.  He knew why though.  If she did not
feel the same way as Myles did, he would not want to be the one to tell
him.  "Um...well...Why were you so bent over the tee-shirt I wore earlier
today?"  A-ko dropped her drink.  Before it hit the ground, Craig grabbed
the glass and handed it back to A-ko, very little liquid was spilled. 
	"Wha...huh?...Nani?...ah...um..."  Craig hung his head.  _Oh, good fucking
come-back, you dick,_ he thought.  "Why do you want to know?" she asked. 
	"Well, uh, you seemed pretty irate about it at the time, I thought that I
might have offended you somehow." 
	"It was nothing.  I...uh...had a bad...um...experience in my childhood
that I associate with Superman," she lied. 
	"Sher," Craig said, suspiciously.  "Well, listen, enjoy the party.  If
there's anyone here you want to talk to or something you'd like to do, let
me know.  I'll keep you set on the drinks, there's really no alcohol in
that.  I want your first frat party experience to be a good one." 
	"Arigato," A-ko said, smiling sweetly at Craig as he stood up and walked
away.  He felt like a cad to have lied to her and to have had her drudge up
some memory that she probably would have rather have forgotten.  To top it
off, he was supposed to be helping Myles and her get together, but could
not bring himself to do it.  What was worse, is that he was starting to
think that maybe, just maybe, he was starting to fall for her as well... 
 
	Myles was standing behind the counter, keeping an eye on Craig and A-ko. 
He finished talking and then walked back toward the counter. 
	"Well?" Myles asked, frantically. 
	"We were interrupted." 
	"What're you talking about?  I changed the CD like you asked."  With that,
the song ended and Craig leapt back over the counter.  He began to rummage
through the CD's in his duffel bag. 
	"Ye *are* gonna tell her tonight, aren't ye?" 
	"No," Craig said, flatly.  "There's too much of a crowd here.  Way too
many distractions." 
	"What's the matter?"  Myles asked, knowing that something was up. 
	"Nothing, now hand me that Survivor CD over there."  Myles complied.  "If
you're really that hot to trot for her, why don't you just tell her
yourself?" 
	"..."  Myles leaned back and thought. 
						* * * 
	It was about two thirty in the morning.  A-ko had already spoken to quite
a few young men.  All of which were drunk and trying to get into her
pants...that is, if she were wearing any.  Towards the last few she spoke
to however, she found that she did not mind their forward advances much,
she was a little more than tipsy by that point.  A-ko crossed her legs as a
shadow fell over her.  She turned to see who it was.  Kei stood there
looking at her, drunker than an Irishman on Saint Patrick's Day. 
_Shhhheee...kkooooo..._ he thought, as the view of A-ko was replaced by an
image of C-ko wearing the identical outfit that A-ko wore, filling it out
the same way that A-ko did.  Behind the counter, Myles was too busy to
notice and could no longer keep an eye on his love. 
	"At earthly or happy is the rose distilled, then that which withering on
the virgin thorn, grows, lives and dies in single blessedness," he said,
poetically.  A-ko looked at him, wide eyed.  "These weaklings, such a
borish lot, truely.  They fought for the privelege of you company.  If they
could manage, that is.  What fools these mortals be." 
	"Kei-kun, don't do this to me.  I-I've finally gotten over you," she said
as she got up to leave.  Kei blocked her before she could walk away. 
	"Oh!  Tho she be but little, she is fierce!" he said.  A-ko felt a
stirring between her legs.  "Whilt thou care to dance, my goddess?" 
	"Kei, please..." she started. 
	"I love you like no other.  I would date with you!"  With that, as if on
cue, the music changed to a slow song.  It was the Righteous Brothers
singing "Unchained Melody".    Kei stuck his hand out and A-ko accepted. 
He led her to the area deemed the dance floor.  _Uh oh!_ Craig thought as
he caught a glimpse of A-ko and Kei embracing and swaying gently to the
sound of the music.  He quickly turned to Myles who was chatting with
another red-haired girl, who Craig could have sworn he heard him call Kei. 
_Hope he isn't thinking what I think he's thinking._ 
	Back on the dance floor, Kei and A-ko, both a little too drunk to dance,
stumbled and fell, A-ko on top.  Their eyes met and A-ko leaned down and
kissed Kei on the lips.  They embraced, holding each other there for a good
moment.  A-ko and Kei helped each other up.  Kei took A-ko's hand and
kissed it. 
	"For it so falls out, that what we have, we prize not the worth whilst we
enjoy it.  But being lacked and lost, why then we rack the value, then we
find the virtue that possession would not show us whilst it was ours," he
said to her.  A brown-haired girl around the corner overheard the
conversation and swung around. 
	"Kuno?" Nabiki said, out loud. 
	"I love you, I would date with you."  A-ko felt weak in the knees.  Kei
pulled on A-ko's arm, gently.  She followed him up the stairs of the frat
house to the bedrooms that were reserved for such occasions. 
 
	Kei opened the door to the room and looked inside.  It seemed that that
room was the only vacant room in the whole place.  He walked in, with A-ko
following close behind.  He closed and locked the door behind them, turned
to A-ko and pulled her close to him.  A-ko looked deep into his eyes and
then leaned into him.  Kei lifted her face and then gently kissed her.  Kei
picked A-ko up, walked over to the bed and gently laid her down on it.  Kei
sat next to her and embraced her again, kissing her seductively.  He pushed
her tongue into her mouth and then began to caress her left breast, while
leaning her back.  A-ko returned it in kind, pushing her tongue past his
and into his mouth, while running her hands along his back. 
	Kei then ran his lips down A-ko's neck, kissing her as he went.  When he
reached the top of her dress, he ran his tongue along the hem line across
her breasts.  He then reached up and pulled one of the spaghetti straps
down off of her shoulder.  He then pulled the other strap down, along with
the dress, revealing A-ko's firm, supple breasts.  Kei took the right
breast into his mouth and began to suck on the areola, while gently
pinching and squeezing the other with his left hand.  A-ko gasped and ran
her fingers through his hair. 
	She pulled him off of her breasts and fumbled, trying to open Kei's shirt.
 He then took her hands in his and guided her, until she was able to get it
on her own.  A-ko sat up and pulled Kei's shirt off of him.  She licked his
right nipple and gently bit it.  Kei groaned from the back of his throat. 
_Those romance novels I read really help!_  she thought.  Kei then pulled
the rest of A-ko's dress off of her.  A-ko reached down and covered her
sex. 
	Kei put a reassuring hand on A-ko's shoulder and reached down to her
crotch.  A-ko moved her hands out of the way and Kei began to rub her
clitoris, pinching it ever so gently.  A-ko threw her head back and moaned.
 Kei began to insert his middle finger into her, as she grabbed his hand
and then looked at him tenderly. 
	"What's the matter?" he asked. 
	"I...I'm a virgin..." she replied, blushing, looking away from him.  Kei
took her by the shoulders, turned her head and kissed her on the lips. 
	"It will be alright...unless you want me to stop." 
	"N-no...you're right, it'll be alright." 
	"I'll be gentle," he said, with a reassuring smile.  A-ko fell into his
arms.  They embraced for a moment longer and then Kei leaned A-ko back.  He
then went down to her crotch and kissed it tenderly. 
	"Don't look at it!  How embarrassing," A-ko moaned. 
	Kei sucked on her clitoris, and then ran his tongue along her pubic lips. 
He then inserted his index finger into her, but only to the second knuckle,
slowly pulling it out and then sliding it back in.  A-ko groaned with
pleasure as she threw her head into the pillow and grabbed a fistful of the
bed sheet.  Kei took his finger out and ran it along her pelvis and worked
his way up to her breasts.  He then reached down and rubbed her clitoris. 
A-ko grabbed his arm again and looked him at him.  She was ready for him. 
Kei stood up and began to unbuckle his belt.  A-ko sat up and ripped his
pants off of him. 
	A-ko sat back and stared at Kei's manhood.  She had never seen a penis
before, at least not in real life, and obviously had no idea what to do
next.  Kei guided her.  He laid her back on the bed, reached down to A-ko's
crotch, spread her pubic lips and then eased his cock into her.  There was
a small snap, that was barely audible, and A-ko screamed, caught between
pleasure and pain. 
	"Are you alright?"  Kei asked, compassionately. 
 
	"H-hai..." A-ko moaned, dazed.  Kei pushed himself all the way into her. 
She gasped and blushed, turning her head.  He then began to work in and out
of her.  He leaned forward and kissed her tenderly again.  A-ko's hips
began to buck wildly with his movements.  She had never felt *anything*
like this in all her life.  "Oooo," she moaned.  Kei began to work harder,
moving faster and faster into a sexual frenzy.  Instinctively, A-ko moved
her hips with his.  A-ko moved her arms to hold Kei, running her hands
along his back. 
	A-ko reached her limit, coming in a screaming climax as she raked her
fingernails through the flesh on Kei's back.  Kei's face contorted as he
gave one final thrust and screamed himself as he came inside her.  He
slumped down and gathered A-ko into his arms, kissing her again.  She
looked at him drowsily.  He laid her back on the bed and she quickly fell
asleep.  Kei laid down next to her and slid his arms around her. 
	"My love...my daisy-haired goddess...C...ko..." he muttered and then
drifted off to sleep.
