And yes, this means my own particulair warped fromatting.
Hopefully it's getting better.

"So what about Mokoti?"
"Well, he is cute....and, he's you know... older." She giggled.
"And you know," The Redhead said. "Older means more *Experienced*."
She enunciated the last word slowly and with emphasis.
"A mature man." The Blonde said and hugged the pillow.
The bunnies on her pajamas made a slight mockery of her words.
"He's got a friend you know." Her friend said. "He's tall and dark and
his eyes are a slate blue."
The Redhead was attired more "maturely" in an oversized Tokyo Giants
baseball shirt.
"You can have him." The Blonde decided magnanimously. "I'm not so sure
about these tall and dark guys.... I mean everyone wants
somebody tall and dark ...maybe I want something different?"
"You haven't seen him have you?" the Readhead asked. "You just think I
might try and take Mokoti away from you." The girl looked over the rim
of her wine-glass her green eyes dancing with mischief.
The Blonde sniffed and waved her free hand disdainfully. Unfortunately
in the process she almost lost the pillow she hugged and spilled
her own wine. "I'm just sick of all of these BORING guys who are all
the same."
"I'm so tired of them all." She sighed dramatically.
"I don't want to rain on your parade Usagi but I don't see hordes of
guys falling all over themselves just to date you. Or me either."
She quickly added. "And, as for Mokoti, well I don't think he even
notices you.....or" She corrected herself "if he does he sees you but
only as a customer."
"He simply doesn't want any of the others in the arcade to know about
his forbidden feelings for me."
The wavy red hair glinted gold as it caught the light of the rooms
lights. "Forbidden feelings" The girl spluttered. "What? That
sometimes he's so sorry for you losing that he gives you a free
token or two?"
"Tokens of our love." the other said seriously and then spoiled it by
laughing.
"Okay." She said sighing. "But he doesn't realize what he's
missing."
"So here we are." Naru said. "Two single girls on a weekend.
My Mother's out of town, we have a bottle of wine and what don't we
have?"
"Boys." Usagi replied. "Stupid boys."
Naru sighed and nodded.
"But what would we do without them?"
"Hmmmm." Usagi looked thoughtful. "You do have a point."
"I DO know one boy that IS interested." Naru said.
"Who? Who?" Usagi leaned foreword eagerly.
"Gurio-kun."
"Oh." Usagi did not sound thrilled. "I thought you said it was a
boy."
"He is a boy." Naru laughed. "And I seem to remember a time when you
were interested in him as well."
"I was not!" Usagi protested. "Well," She corrected herself. "Maybe I
was, but that was in Grade 4. Hey, so were you!"
Naru nodded slowly. "I remember. I hoped you didn't but I did."
"What about now?" Usagi teased. "Jealous?"
Naru shook her head, a touch of rose in her cheeks. "Of course I like
Umino...but you know how he is."
"A Geek." Usagi said. "Otaku."
"He's just a little to *involved* " Naru objected. "He can be cute
in a puppy-dog sort of way but I want to be with someone who can
treat me like a princess."
"A princess." Usagi echoed her face was flushed from drink now and
she sipped as she spoke.. "Oh could you imagine it? He would take
you to parties and buy you presents and you could sit in little
cafe's and he would buy you treats."
"It always comes back to food you." Naru said wryly.
"Well..." Usagi said, nonplused by the other girl's remarks. "I'm
just practical that's all."
Naru laughed. "You're incorrigible. What would I ever do without
you?"
"I'm not sure." Usagi grinned back at her friend. "But I don't think
you'll ever have to worry about that."
Suddenly Usagi looked serious. She uncurled from her seat and stood.
placing her glass on the night-table. She moved over to her friend and
offered a hand pinkie extended.
"Friends forever?" She asked.
Naru linked her pinkie with Usagi's and they smiled at each other.
"Friends forever."
"Now." Usagi said. "You mentioned food....."
"Oh you are horrible." Naru giggled.
"Well you started it." Usagi's voice was plaintive... wistful. "And, I
was just thinking...maybe all of this wine on an empty stomach might
not be a good idea. Maybe just a snack or two would...."
"Oh come on." Naru stood up and led her famished friend kitchen-ward.
After procuring a good supply of food for Usagi they settled in
the living room.
Naru produced a movie (which her mother had bought the day before)
and the girl's watched with rapt attention.
Soon they were transported far away to another world....one however
which Usagi insisted they leave halfway through for popcorn.
Eventually the credits rolled to the strains of a romantic song.
"I love this." Usagi sniffled and blew into one of many kleenex
nearby. "She's so beautiful and he's so handsome."
Naru nodded and dabbed her eyes. "If only stuff like that happened in
real life. I mean couldn't you just imagine."
Usagi gave a final blow before speaking.
"Just think." She said dreamily, eyes shining. "Princess Usagi and
Princess Naru. Bold and beautiful warriors and their handsome men."
"Bold warriors?" Naru giggled. "You've been reading that Sailor V
manga again haven't you?"
"Maybe." Usagi joined her laughter. "I Just think it would be so cool
to do all of that...not to be afraid of anything and to have all of
those fans. All of those hunky fans." A thin trickle of drool
followed her thoughts.
"And newspapers and magazines showing up when you fought crime, trying
to catch a picture of your panties...." Naru started impishly.
"...and all of those skuebe old men looking at those pictures.
Of course we can't forget all of those young otaku making ecchi manga
about you.
Haven't you seen those pictures Tanaka draws in math class and
sells afterwards? Brrr..."
Her shiver was only partially pretend.
"Oooog. I hadn't thought of that." Usagi admitted. "Wait, What if we
had some sort of super armour and nobody could tell we were girls?"
"And then how would all of those "hunky guys" be drooling at us? They
couldn't see us."
Usagi's brow furrowed at this. She smiled then as she came up with a
solution. "Okay, then how about this....Only our boyfriends know who
we are. Our HUNKY boyfriends." She stressed the word.
"All right." Naru laughed. "I'm convinced. Now all we need is two
things.
"What?"
"One, super powers." Naru listed them on her fingers. "And two and
probably more important. Boyfriends."
Usagi's face fell.
"Maybe I could do without the super powers." She said.
"So, what do we do about the boyfriend thing?" Naru asked.
"Go to a shrine and ask the Kami's REALLY loudly?" Usagi suggested.
"Put an ad in the school newspaper?" Naru suggested
"Naw. Too likely Gurio-kun would answer." Usagi said.
"Well, maybe if he got his hair cut and some better glasses."
Naru said thoughtfully..."No wait a minute..." Her eyes widened.
"What on earth am I saying?"
"Desperation, that's what that is girlfriend." Usagi laughed. But
then considered. "Maybe you're right about the glasses...Naww."
Naru hit her with a pillow of the couch.
***
"Ah." Usagi closed her eyes and gave in to the sensations she was
feeling. This was so much better than when she did it herself.
Occasionally, Naru did something that was a little uncomfortable but
she also seemed to know when that was happening and correct it.
"That's so nice."
"It is?" Naru asked. "Good, I like doing this."
Naru moved with an efficiency that Usagi often envied.
Usagi could feel her moving with each stroke and dreamily wondered
if she could borrow some of her energy sometime.
After a few more strokes Usagi wished she was a cat.
If she was she would purr.
"You'll do me after?" Naru asked for the second or third time.
"Uh-huh." Usagi had to keep from whining. She wished that she had let
Naru go first or had some way out of that particular agreement but
after all - a deal was a deal.
"You know." Naru told her if I have to keep this up my wrist's
gonnna get sore."
"It can't be that much longer." Usagi said. "Just don't stop!"
"Greedy." Naru teased with a throaty laugh.
A few more strokes and the Red-Head had finished.
"Done." She announced.
"So soon?" Usagi asked. She was tired now nad so relaxed.
"So Soon?" There was laughter in the other girls' voice as she
mimiced her friend.
"What happened, did you fall asleep?"
"Nope." Usagi replied although she did want to drift off.
"Well good, Naru replied. 'Cause it's your turn."
**
Usagi took the hairbrush from her friend's hand and began
her work on the others (much) shorter hair.
In a few minutes she was finished.
**
"I really love your hair Usagi it's so.."
"Long" Usagi suggested. "Easy to tangle and difficult to do anything
with?"
"You do stuff with it." Naru protested stoking a handful
of Usagi's golden mane.
"It's like a you know.. trademark what you do with it."
"Well. sometimes I just want to cut it off." Usagi replied.
"And you don't because..." Naru fished... already suspecting the
answer.
"Well, I guess I'm just used to it." Usagi smiled.
"I wouldn't know what to do with it."
"A cute little pageboy bob?" Naru suggested.
"Weeellll, that would be neat but I wish I could simply change my
hair to whatever I wanted it to look like that particular day."
"Who wouldn't." Naru grinned and handed her the hairbrush.
After they finished with Naru's hair they looked at a
couple of fashion magazines to see what they really could do
(if either of them ever had access to a salon which charged more the
GNP of most countries.)
"Another movie?" Naru suggested tossing aside a magazine
with the enlightening selection "How to remain a teen forever."
"Sure" Usagi agreed.
The quest for romance was resumed (with more popcorn.)
"How do they do that?" Usagi wondered watching Romeo grapple with
Juliet.
"It seems pretty obvious." Naru said. "And with him..." She sighed.
"I thought you liked the tall dark kind?" Usagi teased.
"Well, maybe both." Naru replied.
"No," Usagi said, re-stating her original question. "I mean,
they've just met right?"
"Uh-huh."
"And they're 'posed to be...um...you know...virgins." She felt her
cheeks heat. "So how do they KNOW?"
"Oh." Naru said understanding. Glad that Usagi couldn't see her own
blush in the room's darkness.
"I don't know." Naru admitted. "They just do."
"Well?" Usagi asked. "Do you?" She then admitted "I sorta do but..."
Naru nodded and turned towards the other girl. "Ya, what we've done
in Health.. and of course." She giggled. "Movies."
"Same here. "Usagi said but how do I know that the first time I kiss a
guy I don't end up doing it wrong?"
"You don't think that I don't worry about that as well." Naru's
answer was not at all comforting. "I don't want to kiss some guy
like I kiss my Aunt Michi."
"And I don't want some guy to kiss like your Aunt Michi." Usagi
giggled.
Naru joined her.
Naru's Aunt Michico was, well, affectionate. She came from a family
which expressed this affection with much kissing and cheek-pinching.
Usagi had fallen victim to this woman early in her friendship with
Naru and attempted to avoid being around when she knew the woman was
visiting.
"EEEeeeewwww!" Naru made a horrible face. "Could you imagine it.
There you are on the balcony and your lover has climbed the rose
trellis to be with you."
"The what?"
"The thing roses and boyfriends climb up silly."
"Oh." She considered this. "Could they be something else?"
"What?" Asked Naru confused.
"The trellis-y thing... could you grow another kind of flower on
em?"
"No Naru said firmly. It's gotta be roses. I thought you liked roses?"
"Well, ya but I was just....:"
"You're ruining the mood." Naru said. "Now where was I?
Okay. Now there you are and it's night-time 'cause your parents and
his hate each other and you have to sneak around. The moon is big
an full and you can see his blue eyes.."
"Or Green." Usagi added.
"Or green." Naru continued and he takes toy in his arms."
Here she plucked up her bear Mr.Tendo which she had been using as a
pillow and held it close to her in a lover's embrace.
"My dearest," She whispered and Usagi began to laugh.
"My Dearest" She growled in her lover's voice. "I would cross
seas and mountains to be with you."
"Then kiss me." Naru said.
The bear pressed up against her and made a horrible sucking sound
and then it's front paws grabbed her cheeks.
"Who's my liddle trooper?" She growled out in a high-pitched squeal
"My but the little lady has grown all up!"
"Unable to take her own abuse Naru fell to the floor laughing.
"I like her, I really do." Naru said eventually when the laughter
had turned into a few sporadic giggles. "But she's just so..."
She had no words and simply shook her head at the woman.
Usagi nodded. She had been on the end of the same greetings and
sympathized.
"So, How do you do really do it...for real?" Usagi pressed.
"Do you kiss like in the movies and if you do.. then what movies?"
"I think it depends." Naru said thoughtfully.. "I mean if you miss
somebody a-lot then you are more well...intense.
I don't know if every time you kiss them you'll be you know..all
passionate and stuff...I mean what would your parent's do?"
"Daddy'd die." Usagi laughed. "Or kill the guy.
He's started to give me the 'Usagi, soon in a few years a boy might
ask you out.' talk but when he starts he gets sorta embarrassed
and angry and then stops.
Mom and I talked a little bit about it but really what she said was
'When you want to know something ... ask. I know there are things you
may be curious about and if I can help I will.
I'd rather you asked me about something than did something
you might regret.'
She seems cool but honestly...I just don't know what to ask her."
Naru nodded.
"I asked my mom about dating and stuff and she said that she was
pretty sure that she had brought me up right and that we would pool
our resources.
She had just as much she'd like to ask me about when she started
dating again."
"Wow." Was all Usagi could say.
"I know." Naru nodded soberly.
"That was last year and it was the first time I've ever heard her
talk about dating or anything like that.
I miss Daddy too but Mom's gotta go on with her life.
I was wondering if she would ever realize it."
She shook her head.
"It's been like eight years now since the accident and she still
feels horrible. I do too, but I know that Daddy'd want Mom to
be happy.
But you know....?" She began and paused, sipped her drink
and then began again... "You know what?
I know all that but I also know that no matter how easily I can say
that I still don't think I'd ever be able to call anyone else
my father."
Usagi nodded. "Well, I don't think she'd expect you to Naru-chan."
Suddenly Naru looked extremely sad.
"Usagi can I tell you something? Something my mother doesn't
even know?"
"Sure." Usagi said. Noticing how serious her friend looked she tried
to lighten the mood. "I told you my last mark in English."
Naru almost-smiled.
"There are days you know," She began, "Days when I can't remember
Daddy."
Her eyes filled with tears as she continued.
"I mean I know who he was and all but I can't *remember* him!
I can't remember what his face looked like!
I look at his picture and I see him and all I see is some man, some
stranger. I remember his voice but it gets harder and harder.
I'm such a bad daughter!"
She began to sob.
Alarmed, Usagi instantly went to her friend and embraced her.
"It's o.k." She whispered. "It's ok."
"No it's not." Naru sobbed, gulping for air.
"There's something wrong with me. I don't deserve to have a boy friend
and be happy. I don't deserve anything good.
I can't even remember my own father's face! I might as well have killed
him myself!"
"Shhhhh." Usagi stroked her friends' back and felt the strong sobs
rocking Naru's slim frame.
She was totally out of her element.
She had never considered that Naru had felt any of this,
Certainly she knew the girl missed her father .. and who wouldn't?
But as for the rest - all of a sudden it was simply too overwhelming.
She didn't know how to face it except to comfort her friend and hope
things somehow got better
... hoped that somehow she would think of the right things to say.
Surprisingly somehow she did.
She was still hesitant but *somehow * all the right words came out.
Not simply things that would act as a bandage, but the truth.
Making comforting sounds Usagi let the other girl cry for a while to
let out her feelings before she actually spoke.
"It's not your fault Naru-chan ." She soothed the other girl using a
warm voice. "It's not your fault."
"It's okay, and it *will* be okay." She continued.
"You have to live and get on with your life just like your
mother does. This is just Nature's way of letting you do so."
"But..." Naru started and Usagi let her go till she was
looking at the other girls' teary face.
"Shhh." Usagi said. "No buts."
"Do you think your dad would want you to be thinking about him all
the time?
Do you think he'd like it if you lived for him and not for yourself?"
"I don't think he would." She continued answering for the other girl.
"This is just the way things happen, how people heal so that you don't.
just go on like some sorta zombie."
She paused. "I want you to do something for me ok?"
Naru looked like she was going to do anything but agree with the
other girl.
Usagi gave her the gentlest of shakes. "Ok?"
And her tone brooked no refusal.
Naru, face wet, sniffing, nodded.
"Good." Usagi smiled the gentlest of smiles.
"Now, close your eyes."
The other girl obediently followed her words.
"Now, think back, far back, and feel yourself getting warmer and
warmer. Not hot but warm, warm and comfortable.
Now think of the party that your parents had after that first week of
grade 1."
By that time Usagi and Naru had been firm friends, having met the year
earlier.
"Remember How different it had seemed then. Grade 1 was like starting
school all over again but this time we were better prepared
and maybe even looking foreword to a ...just a little."
Naru smiled slightly at this.
"Remember." Usagi repeated softly " Your parents and my parents took
us to the park and I got scared by that big dog."
"It was a tiny little puppy." Naru spoke and there was a hint of
laughter in her voice at the memory. "And it was just as scared of you."
"Well, whatever," Usagi glossed .
"And then we went and saw the fireworks....."
"And Daddy lit those western-style sparklers and helped me write
my name with them...."
There was a smile on Naru's face now. "I remember."
"I remember." She repeated again. She opened her eyes then and
looked up at Usagi, her eyes bright like tear-washed jade.
She smiled a gentle smile then and it was one mirrored by the one on
Usagi's face.
"Thank you." She said softly. "I won't forget again."
And Usagi knew it was true.
Impulsively, Naru leaned forward and kissed Usagi.
Usagi found herself instinctively returning it.
The soft touch of lip upon lip was like nothing Usagi had ever felt
before and she found herself leaning into the kiss and adding more
pressure.
She felt Naru's lips part slightly before her advance and she followed
suit.
Naru gave the faintest of moans and found herself pulled towards the
other girl her arms reaching around to hold the other.
She welcomed the advance and felt warmth of the other girl fill her
with comfort.
The other girl.
Suddenly, with this thought Naru pulled back, breathless.
Usagi herself trying to catch her breath looked at her questioningly.
"I'm not..." Naru said flushing. "I'm... not like Hikari-san."
"What?" Usagi's question wasn't one of surprise but one of confusion.
"I mean." Naru said flustered and looking down onto her lap.
"I'm not like Hikari and Sana. You know, *that way*."
"I know that." Said Usagi, still confused.
"Then why..." Naru wasn't sure how to ask it. "Why did you kiss me."
Usagi looked surprised.
The flush that already painted the blond girl's cheeks becoming a
deeper rose.
"I didn't. " She said.
"Yes you did."
"No, Naru-chan you kissed me."
"I kissed....? No, I couldn't have." She denied, then again
with less force. "No." Then "I did. Oh Kamis!"
"Usagi." She looked up at her friend and tears started to leak
from the corners of her eyes.
"I'm sorry. I'm not like them. but maybe I am... maybe that's why
I can't find a boyfriend...maybe..."
"Maybe you just needed to be kissed." Usagi said. "How do you
feel about Brown-sensei?"
"Brown-sensei?" It was Naru's turn to be confused. "Oooh, he's cute.
and I've heard that he's already got a girlfriend in America.."
"Well, if he didn't?" Usagi pressed.
"Well.." Naru thought of the young teacher from America who had
come to their school at the begining of the year.
"He's so old...maybe 25 or twenty-six and he *IS* a teacher but..."
Her eyes viewed by the other girl took on a dreamy look.
Usagi couldn't help but giggle and this startled her friend out
of her dream-like state.
"Nani?" She demanded hiding her embarrassment in a cross tone.
"If you think about Brown-sensei like that." Usagi giggled,
then I don't think you have to worry about being like Hikari.
Naru's laughter joined her friends.
After a while they had quieted down again and Usagi took her
friend's hand.
"Naru-chan?"
"Hai?"
"I feel the same way that you do but I thought I should
tell you..."
"Yes?"
"When we were.. you know, kissing. I kinda liked it."
"I did too." Naru slowly admitted.
"I was wondering." Usagi said shyly and as she spoke she drew
circles with her finger tip on her pajama-clad leg.
"Yes?"
"Well we both like boys right? And we want boys to like us, and
boys like girls who know how to kiss good so maybe we could like..
practice a little?" Her words came out in a rush and by the time
she was finished her face was quite red.
Naru also blushed at the idea.
It was embarrassing how the whole idea of *practicing* kissing
was actually sort of *exciting* to her.
The fact that she would be doing it with Usagi,
the friend she had known for ages also sent a forbidden thrill
down her spine.
The idea seemed somehow wrong.
She knew there were girls in school - girls with "special friends"
but the whole concept had seemed so alien to her.
Well, there were so many hunky guys out there and girls were just,
- well girls.
But Usagi..
Usagi had always been her friend and they had always shared things.
They had shared so so much, good and bad.
Usagi had been the one to hold as she sobbed for the month or so that
it had seemed like her mother had almost "switched off" as a person.
As a matter of fact it had been Usagi who had helped her mother as well.
Well, at least Usagi's clumsiness.
It had been a typical Usagi occurrence. The girl seemed to
move with a kind of clumsy dumb luck, which continually got her into
trouble but equally saved her from the full brunt of it's effects.
One day, the girls had arrived at Naru's apartment from school
(grade two in fact.) Eager to see her friend's new stuffed toy
Usagi had rushed up the stairs to the apartment home and then, even
more quickly ,begun to fall.
Naru, standing at the bottom of the stairs had seen the look on her
mother's face as the other girl began to scream as she lost her
footing.
It was as if her mother had painted on a gray featureless
mask the day Naru's father had died, a mask that was slowly sucking
the life from her.
That mask had cracked and shattered as the woman had thrown
herself down the stairs after Usagi, and had managed to catch her.
Naru's mother had then gathered both girls tight in her arms and
sobbed horrible heart-wrenching sobs for what had seemed like hours.
About two weeks later Naru had stayed with Usagi for a while at the
Tsukino household while her mother had gone away for a "rest."
(Later, when Naru was older and able to understand better,
her mother had told her about the time she had spent in the rest home
undergoing counseling.
With this confession and her honesty the girl had actually respected
her mother's strength even more,both for the fact that she had been
open and honest and, for the fact that she had been willing to put
herself in a position in which some people might mis-judge her.
This, and her mother's constant willingness to treat her with some
equality (with the realization that she was si\tll young and her
daughter as well) was something that had allowed them both to
continue to deal with the loss of the man the two had loved so much.
Naru considered the girl before her and wondered at her.
She was both the luckiest and most unlucky person the Readhead knew.
She considered the deep blue eyes and saw both the nervous hesitation
and the thrill she herself felt mirrored in them.
"Well," She said slowly. "it seems to be a good idea but I have
one condition."
Usagi looked expectantly at her.
"If we are both doing this to get boys we have to promise that
it won't be to get the *same* boys. Deal?"
Usagi nodded. "Deal." She said and then giggled. "I promise to use
my kisses for good and never evil."
Naru giggled as well and quoted something Gurio-kun had said the
other day.
"With great power comes great responsibility." She stated.
"Nani?" Usagi asked.
"Um, nevermind." The other said; some things never change.
"So" Usagi looked more nervous now that when she had proposed
the idea. "What do we do now?
"I'm not sure." Naru answered. "Do you want to just..you know
try and kiss each other and see how it works."
Usagi nodded.
The girls sat on their knees leaning forward facing each other
slowly they leaned foreword. Their eyes closed and...
"Ouch" Naru pulled back rubbing her forehead.
They had collided.
"Hmm." Usagi was sitting back rubbing her own.
They tried again with similar results and this time also
managed to mash noses.
Naru was confused. Where had the beautiful kiss they had shared gone?
"Something's wrong." Usagi had her 'problem solving' face on and
despite her own frustration it was all Naru could due to keep from
laughing.
Only Usagi would wrestled with the idea of kissing with the same grim
determination that she failed countless math tests.
"Something..." Usagi worried her lower lip with her teeth and thought,
maybe if she upset Naru again it would just *happen* again?
No, somehow that seemed doubtful.
Maybe they had to *want* to kiss each other?
No, they did, she could feel that.
She thought back to all the sticky little-girl kisses she had
given her friends and family. She thought of...a flower?
"Like a rose-petal." She thought, eyes open so she could see
her friend.. just softly, like the petals of a rose.
She leaned foreword.
Resting on her knees and one hand she raised the other hand to
gently hold the other girl's face.
- her skin is so much paler, so much prettier than mine she thought.
-even those freckles look so cute.
Naru watched as the other girl moved toward her
with slow deliberation and felt herself shiver a little at
the other's touch.
She watched as her friend's face grew closer and
felt something odd deep inside herself begin to warm when she
looked in those deep deep eyes.
She couldn't help herself, she closed her eyes and tried not to
shake.
She almost didn't feel the first light contact as Usagi's lips
brushed against hers.
It was an almost-tickle as if she had herself stroked
(and just grazed them) with her own finger tip.
She felt it again, and again.
The soft touches continued and she felt the need to moisten her
lips.
Her tongue darted out - and met with Usagi's lips.
it was purely accidental but it was not necessarily a bad thing
Naru thought surprised.
Usagi felt as if a small shock had suddenly stung her lips.
A tiny (but nice) shock.
When this happened Usagi suddenly found herself looking into
the emerald depths of Naru's wide open eyes.
The two girls moved back slightly looking at each other wide-eyed.
"I..I think you might be onto something." Naru whispered.
"Naru-chan." Usagi breathed.
Naru reached a tentative hand up and brushed her finger-tips across
her friend's lips.
"They feel so soft." She said.
She slowly traced her friends' features; they were so familiar yet
she saw them so differently.
Why, Usagi was beautiful!
How could she not have noticed it before?
Her fingers stroked Usagi's cheek, ran along her jaw and the did the
same on the other side.
Gently she ran a finger across the other girl's neck.
She felt her shiver, to swallow in nervousness.
Returning her attentions to the girls' face she traced it's outline
in a graceful oval. from the forehead and then down, around and
then up again. Usagi closed her eyes and Naru touched the fine golden
lashes with the lightest of touches.
Continuing to touch the other she leaned foreword and planted a light
kiss on Usagi's forehead.
She lightly kissed each closed lid and then both cheeks.
Naru was in wonderment at the way every part of her felt different
as her lips made contact.
Her kisses were small and moved inward and she remembered the time
when Usagi, grubby with mud had given her a quick muddy peck.
"We're bestest friends now." She had said.
Alternating from the right to the left Naru moved in and then gave a
playful kiss to the tip of Usagi's nose.
Usagi giggled.
As she leaned foreword Naru moved to balance herself by resting
her hand upon the other's shoulder. She was surprised how hot the
skin beneath the cotton pj's felt.
She pressed her lips briefly against Usagi's own remembering how
they had parted in that first kiss as she had reached to her friend in
thankfulness and support.
She pressed her lips firmly (but not hard) on Usagi's.
Repeating - this time with determination, her actions of the last
she darted her tongue out to lightly flick over the lips of the
other girl.
Usagi shifted and reached out to touch the other girl's
face as they continued to kiss.
Slipping back under her ear it cupped the back of Naru's head and
with fingers opened moved back and forth as if it was combing the
deep red hair.
Usagi's parted lips opened wider and Naru flicked her tongue
back and forth wetting the other girl's lips.
"Tickles." Usagi murmured, but did not move away.
Naru eventually stopped however and moved with small wet kisses
back along the edge of Usagi's left jaw-line. Naru felt more than
heard Usagi make a small sound of discontent deep in her throat.
She could feel the other girl move and tense beneath her hands.
When had she wrapped her arm around Usagi?
As she kissed her way along the other's jaw-line she felt the
muscles in a sort of tension and she felt the same when her lips
touched Usagi's throat.
Inside her mind Naru wasn't sure how or why she was kissing the
other girls' throat and as her lips got closer to the other's
collar she wondered why Usagi was not stopping her.
It felt that the hand which lightly cradled her head was actually
imperceptibly urging her on.
This was nice. Usagi though. Really nice.
She felt all warm inside and she really loved the touch
and presence of her friend.
Naru-chan was so sweet and thoughtful and had always stood up for her
and helped her and even sometimes sneaked her answers to her homework.
Now, this was a different kind of homework and it felt better than...
well, a chocolate sundae.
Wow, could you imagine Mokoti doing this?
That would be really nice too.
For some reason every time she tried to picture the Arcades'
manager she saw him with dark hair.
Which was odd... she didn't like dark-haired guys.
She wondered if Mokoti would smell as nice as Naru-chan did?
She could smell the scent of the other girl's shampoo
and the perfume that they had tried on at the Mall.
Usagi could also smell something that was.. well it was Naru-chan.
She hadn't really thought about it before but there was something
there that was distinctly Naru. She guessed she *must* have noticed it
before but now it was really apparent -and that was nice too.
What else would Naru-chan smell like but herself?
Usagi really liked what Naru was doing and the way she touched her
lips. She had held her as they kissed and she had enjoyed the silky feel
of the other's hair.
She wasn't happy when Naru had stopped but, the feel of Naru's lips
moving across her face, the way she *almost* seemed to *nip*
the edge of her jawbone and then the feeling on her throat.
Mmmmm that was nice and as the kisses moved lower that felt even nicer.
Naru-chan's arm felt good holding her too.
Wait a second.
Kissing downward towards...?
That was SO wrong.
The idea of Naru's lips touching her breasts.
*My oh my.* She thought. She was glad Naru couldn't read her
mind or she would think that she was such an ecchi girl.
The idea though...
Naru's hands upon her like when she did at night sometimes. It was
so wrong but Usagi wondered what it would fell like to feel another's
hands?
The image of Naru actually *kissing* her breasts.
Well that was so wrong and dirty that she felt herself clutching
Naru's head toward her.
Naru felt the fingers curve and the grip of Usagi's hand on the
back of her head tighten.
Well, I guess she's realized what exactly she was doing, Naru thought,
although she was still not exactly clear herself what was going on.
She had the ecchi thought of...of...*kissing* one of Usagi's
cute pink tipped breasts.
Oh, that was so wrong, but what would it feel like?
Babies did it and that was fine and Shiori said that Kaneada had done
it to her that night in the park.
She had loved that feeling when she touched her own nipples, gently
squeezed them.
It sent bolts of lightening into her and felt so nice.
She wondered if Usagi had ever... touched herself like that.
It wasn't anything the girls had ever really talked about.
Naru never really wanted to talk about *that* as she would
have been forced to say that she did
-and what would Usagi think then?
Usagi had to fight off a groan of disappointment when she felt
Naru begin to kiss her way *up* her neck.
She didn't mind however when she felt the graze of the other girl's
slight overbite....the barest touch of teeth.
Naru's a vampire. She thought and fought to quell that image as well.
The idea of Naru *nipping* her. What would that be like?
The feel of her lips and a small sting. Was she going to do that?
Naru enjoyed the sensation of Usagi's skin under her lips and
for the briefest of instants felt the desire to give the flesh
the smallest of nips. She wanted to gobble her friend up.
Usagi shifted her arm so the hand that she was resting slid between
her knees. She hoped Naru didn't notice. She felt like she did
when she fantasized about her and Mokoti getting married.
Suddenly she wished she was alone and that way she could...
No, Naru was here and she had to remember that.
Actually, with the sensations that the other girl produced it wasn't
all that difficult.
Usagi tilted her head and with the hand that cupped her friend's
head, drew the auburn- tressed girl's head upwards to meet her own.
She met Naru's lips open-mouthed and tasted the other girl.
Tentatively she flicked her tongue as she had felt her friend do
and instead of touching her lips came into contact with the inner
wet warmth of Naru's mouth.
Naru, expecting to kiss her as she had before flicked out her tongue
only to find it inside Usagi's mouth and meeting the other girls'.
Both girls halted for a second but the feeling was anything but
unpleasant and they continued.
The kiss grew harder as the girls pressed together.
Usagi put an arm about Naru (who already had her arms about her
friend) and pulled her close.
Usagi felt the other girl's nipples, hardened under cloth pressing
against her... felt the sensation of her own as they rubbed against
cloth, against the warm body of her friend.
She pressed the flat of her palm down against herself and felt
heat, moisture, through cotton.
She longed to hold Naru with both arms but was loathe to remove
it from where it rested.
She shifted slightly rocking back on her heels.
Naru pressed foreword and drew Usagi closer to her.
She felt the other girl's arm about her and found herself
running her own hands up and down Usagi's back as she inched ahead.
She felt Usagi's pajama top wrinkle and fold with her movements,
then, then suddenly under the bunched fabric her hands touched
the skin of Usagi's back.
So smooth.
The auburn-haired girl ran her fingertips down the other's back and
traced her spine.
As if answering to this Usagi rocked slightly back and foreword
back to the touch of the hands forward to Naru's lips and the press
of her body.
Naru was lost in wonderment. She had known the other girl for years
and yes, they had kissed as small fiends would kiss.
Yes, in curiosity they had compared their forms...first in simple
curiosity to see if there were differences.
..and she remembered the boy inside the playhouse where he, Usagi
and Naru had confirmed that Yes, indeed there were differences.
Then, their comparisoms were almost a competition as their
bodies changed.
But never like this.
Things had never felt quite like this.
Usagi felt like a different person almost a stranger, but there were
things that re-assured as well, the almost endless blond tresses,
the small sounds, even the scent, they were all Usagi.
She felt she had somehow missed or overlooked these things before
now, she was sure they were locked into memory as a portrait of her
friend.
She found herself reflexi\vely running her hands through Usagi's
golden hair, along her sides, as well as her back,
-moving her hands slowly up and down but feeling blocked somehow
in her movements.
Pulling back from the others' kisses (a small almost mew of
sadness coming form Usagi)
she looked down at her friend to see that the other girl had
placed her hand before her and was slowly rubbing it into the center
of her lap.
Usagi opened her eyes and Naru could see an expression of fear and
shame beginning to form.
At the tsame time Usagi pulled her had away from herself and made an
attempt to hide the offending limb behind her back.
It would have been funny if it hadn't been so much of a surprise.
"I'm sorry." Usagi muttered, looking down and an even deeper
red flushed across her already reddened cheeks.
"Why?" Naru asked and it was her turn to force the other girl
to look her in the eyes.
"Because." Usagi stammered and Naru saw the beginning of tears.
"It's wrong!"
"Is it?" Naru asked gently.
Biting her lip, Usagi nodded.
"Why?" Naru asked. This was something that she would never have
talked about but since it had come up in this way she felt obliged.
Naru knew that this was a chance to help her friend just as Usagi
had helped her earlier.
"I've got a book my mom gave me." Naru said. "And it's written by a
doctor. And you know what that doctor says?"
Usagi shook her head slightly.
"That doctor, a LADY doctor." Naru stressed the gender.
"Says it's perfectly natural. She says boy do it, girls do it
- adults too!"
Now Usagi shook her head - in disbelief.
"I don't believe you."
"Are you calling me, your best friend a liar?" Naru knew
that was exactly what she would do if she didn't know better so
she wasn't offended. She did however narrow her eyes in an
almost angry way to make Usagi *think* she might be angry.
"No, I wouldn't call you a liar Naru-chan." Said Usagi anxiously.
"It's just...it's just..."
"Would you like to see the book?" Naru asked.
Usagi nodded her head. She had taken a lock of hair in one hand
and was nervously nibbling on the ends.
Naru smiled,
It was a smile of two mixed feelings.
Somehow it almost felt like she was springing a trap
on her friend, dragging her off to her room
- But, she WAS just trying to help the other girl.
The odd thing was she couldn't help but wonder what Usagi would
do if she pushed the other girl down on the bed and touched
her like she wanted Usagi to do to her.
Now, part of her knew (or at least felt) this was somewhat wrong
- well, maybe a little.
but she also couldn't help but hope.
Naru stood, then bending she grabbed Usagi by both hands and
pulled her to her feet.
Usagi's hands were fintly moist with perspiration and the one that had
led to the whole discussion she knew was wet with something else.
At the thought she felt a surge of heat and wetness from inside
herself.
She wondered if that really was a trickle of moisture that had begun
to run down her inner thigh and hoped that Usagi wouldn't notice.
Maybe she should have worn a longer nightgown instead of the
over-sized sport shirt?
She released the *other* hand and led Usagi into the next room.
Usagi almost jerked away from Naru's grasp when the other girl
pulled her to her feet. Surely the other girl couldn't help
but notice the abundance of moisture she hadn't managed to
wipe away before Naru had taken her hand.
What would Naru think?
She had said everybody did this..or at least this
doctor in a book. She still wasn't convinced but she also
wanted to believe her friend.
She knew that if it really was ok she might feel a bit better about
being caught this evening.
She knew she'd feel better about the guilty night she spent at home.
Her face burned from both embarrassment and excitement from earlier.
Suddenly she had a thought. Did Naru?
Usagi almost staggered at the thought and her knees were all
rubbery.
She let herself be led to the other girl's room and blinked hard,
dazzled when Naru turned on the overhead light.
Naru finally released her hand and she went over to her bed.
She patted the place beside her and Usagi gladly sat.
Opening the top drawer of her nightstand Naru produced
a book and handed it to Usagi. Usagi took it in somewhat shaky
hands.
"I've.. marked the page." Naru said.
Usagi looked at the book and noticed several places where it had
been dog-eared.
"Um..." She began wondering where to start.
"Oh!" Naru took the book from her and after quickly flipping it to
several different sections handed it back.
Usagi read.
It WAS true!
"Wow." She said. "And pictures of ...." She flipped a few more pages
and "Wow." was repeated.
"It's pretty...a.. detailed isn't it?" Naru contributed.
Mouth open Usagi could just nod, nod and turn pages.
at each page turn her blue eyes widened till they could widen no more.
"Ne, " She finally said. "Ne, Naru-chan aren't you afraid your
mother will find it and.." She giggled. "And kill you?"
Naru shook he head.
"Mom gave it to me."
"Nani?" Usagi cried incredulously.
"Well." Naru said fidgeting. "You know how open my mom is about me
talking about stuff with her?"
The other nodded.
"Well, She said that eventually I would ask her a question she didn't
have an answer for or one that she might not really want to hear.
She said that this book had a lot of answers and that I could look
there. She also told me that if it didn't answer any of my
questions we would find out together."
Naru didn't mention the other reason the book was in the night-stand
and not on the bookshelf. - that really wasn't important.
"That's SO cool." Usagi said admiring Naru's statement.
"Well ya, I guess." Naru admitted. "But she also said that just
because I knew about something it didn't mean I had to.
If I ever did have to think about something we'd figure it out
together - then she'd spank me if i was being an idiot.
Usagi giggled this was cut off as she turned another page.
"What..?" Naru asked and then stopped as she saw the illustration.
Both girls flushed as they stared at the black and white illustration
of two women lying on their sides each with her face close to the
other's parted legs.
"They really do do that too." Usagi whispered.
Naru, lips suddenly dry ,licked her lips and nodded.
"Girls with girls AND guys as well..." SPossibly Usagi's eyes could
get widewr. She turned a succession of pages and saw the same position
repeated by different individuals.
She sat down on the bed and Naru joined her.
"Look at this." She murmured. "and this!"
Usagi suddenly looked over to her friend.
"How long have you had this?" She demanded.
"Um.." Replied Naru nervously. "Remember that talk we had in
health a couple of years ago?"
"Since then?"
"No, but mama has one like it and she showed me the parts that
the nurse talked about then. Then she'd let me look at it with her
when I had a question. She gave this to me about 4 months ago.
I was SO embarrassed. She said she had a "special" present for me
and I thought it was that blue dress I wanted so much. "
"And you didn't tell me?" Usagi looked hurt.
"If you had this would you be waving it around?"
"No way!"
"See."
"Oh."
"You know, some of this stuff is pretty gross...I mean, I've
seen one of these before..." She gestured. "But never one
that looked like that."
"Well." Naru studied the picture (one which she was quite familiar
with.) "Who's did you see?"
"Well." Usagi said. "I used to help Mom give Shingo a bath before."
"This." Naru said tapping the picture. "Is what a REAL GUY's looks
like - like Mokoti!"
"Eeeew!"
"And look." Naru continued. "See what it says right here."
"Ick! That's gross and it's so big look how big they say
"average" is! I mean how does anybody expect something like *THAT*
to fit inside? I can only put like two, maybe three fin...ooops."
Usagi coloured. What had she just said?
Maybe Naru didn't hear her?
Naru's face was almost as red as her hair. She dropped her gaze
from Usagi and muttered something.
"Nani?" Usagi couldn't make out the words.
"I *mumble* mumble* *mumble* " Naru replied.
Was Naru saying something about her?
"What did you say Naru-chan?"
"I said I thought it might feel nice."
"Naru!" Usagi was shocked.
"Well, with the right person." She attempted to defend herself.
"Not right now...I mean in a few years."
Usagi thought about this and eventually conceded. "Well, maybe.
But only if they really took their time.. and stuff."
"Usagi." Naru was twisting the hem of her nightshirt in her hands.
"Hai Naru-chan."
"I wouldn't mind if you.. you know touched me." Her
next words were an apologetic blur. "I mean, If you wanted to, and
all. I REALLY liked how we were kissing and stuff. If you don't
it's okay. REALLY."
Usagi put the book down. This idea had been in the back of her mind
as well and looking at the book had made it seem like an even
better idea. She didn't want to mention it however -just in case.
"I'd...I'd like that a lot Naru-chan. I liked what we were
doing before." She giggled self-consciously.
"I guess you could probably figure that out huh?
"That's why we came in here in the first place."
Naru giggled as well.
"I would have been doing what you were but I had my arms around you.
- well that and...I'd feel you-know nervous."
Usagi turned to face her friend. "Naru-chan, will you kiss me now?"
Naru nodded and leaned forward.
She closed her eyes and Naru moaned when their lips met.
She had anticipated the kiss of course, but when it actually
came it surprised her anew with how it felt.
There was a *thump* when the girls moved together but both ignored
the sound of the book hitting the floor.
Somehow this was different.
Usagi could feel Naru press against her and pressed back.
What she had read (and the pictures she had seen) convinced her
that if what she was doing was unusual at least others did it as well.
That was still no reason for her actions as she kissed her red-haired
friend but she didn't care.
It felt good.
Naru felt her friend's shy hands move boldly from her side
to gently, almost gingerly cup her breasts.
She was surprised but not at all unhappy and the other's touch
felt... just right.
*They're so soft.* Usagi thought as she slowly began to touch
the soft curves of her friend through the soft material of the
shirt.
Naru arched her chest forward breaking her kiss with the other.
"Usa-chan" she murmured. "That feels nice."
She worked her own hands under the cotton of her friend's
pj top.
She had intended to work her way up the soft skin of Usagi's
back but as she moved she found her hands moving downward instead,
-under the tails of the shirt and onto her friends buttocks.
Usagi flinched, or rather *clenched* under her touch and her hands
mirrored the action gently on Naru's chest.
Enjoying this Naru cupped her friend and squeezed gently.
Part of her absently noted that her friend, who seemed to spend so
much time sleeping or at least trying to, would have such firm
muscles here.
Then, she simply couldn't help it...she giggled.
Usagi's hands froze and she opened her eyes.
"What?" She said suspiciously.
Naru looked at the serious look on her friend's face and coupled
with her previously thoughts continued to giggle.
"Nothing." She smirked.
"Nothing?" Usagi asked and her hands fell away from Naru
(oh how she missed that touch that she had just begun to experience.)
"It's just..." Naru attempted to keep her face straight.
"It's.. your butt."
"What's wrong with my butt?" Usagi clenched the object in question
self consciously and tried to move away from her friends grasp.
Naru however, would have noting to do with that and held her firmly.
"It's just." Naru knew that she was seconds away from a major
giggle-fit despite her desire for her friend.
"It's .. well I was just wondering how somebody who gets such bad
grades in gym class can have such a firm butt."
She finally let go of her friend and fell on the bed laughing.
Usagi stared at her friend an expression of...shock and, then well,
more shock, flashing across her face.
She pounced upon her friend in a cloud of silken hair and wiggling
fingers.
"Very funny!. Now I'll give you something to REALLY laugh about!"
Usagi's attack was devastating. It was a first strike on an
unprepared and vulnerable target.
The girls rolled about on the bed for a bit, Usagi first having the
upper hand but soon the tide of battle changed.
Usagi pressed hard her attack but unfortunately she forgot something
that she tended to forget in every tickle-fight
- She was more ticklish than Naru.
Soon she was helpless under the other girl who showed no regret or
remorse in her attacks.
Naru then had the upper hand.
Straddling her friend's waist she looked down at the girl she had
pinned.
Usagi's unbraided hair had somehow not managed to get pulled during
the struggle and formed a halo of fine gold around her head.
She held Usagi's hands above her head with, pinning them at the slender
wrists with one hand while using the other as a method of torture.
"Tell me I'm wonderful." Naru demanded.
"You're horrible!" Usagi cried bucking to escape, and then screeched
as the other girl's fingers tickled her ribs.
Naru paused for a second and let the other girl half catch her
breath.
"What am I?" She demanded again.
"A meanie!" Her ever-defiant friend replied ad faced the
consequences of her words.
"Please." Usagi pleaded, squirming. "Please!"
"Please what?"
"Oh most wonderful of all women...most glamorous most everything
... please stop!"
Feeling tolerant Naru complied.
She let go of Usagi's hands and moved to get off her.
"Wait." Usagi said.
"Hmmm?"
"As the winner I have to reward you."
"With what?" Naru asked.
Usagi had a gleam in her eye.
"With a kiss." She said.
Naru's face became as red as the exertion-strained Usagi's.
"Okay." She said softly.
She bent forward and kissed Usagi on the forehead.
Raising herself slightly and resting with her arms on
both sides of the other girl she bent and kissed first one cheek
then the other. She then kissed Usagi upon the lips and accepted
their half-parted invitation.
After a moment she sat up and looked at Usagi who looked
back at her from heavy lidded eyes.
"I think...I think I won." Usagi said, a bit breathless.
"Maybe we both did." Naru said softly.
She looked down and saw that Usagi's shirt had ridden up
during their struggles and she carefully placed both hands on
the sides of the other girl's exposed tummy.
"Ooh." Usagi said.
"Tickles?" the Red Head asked.
"Yes...no. it tickles nice." the other responded.
Usagi's' eyes were dark pools with small rings of blue round the
centers.
With a careful and deliberate slowness Naru raised her hands
above the hem 'till she touched the beginning of the gentle swells.
"Stop." Usagi said softly.
"But I thought..." Naru began, confused.
"I do." the other replied to clarify. "Buttons."
Naru smiled and bent forward kissing the other again.
She was acutely aware of how the other felt when she moved
her hips.
She continued to raise her hands till they began to climb upward and
then removed them.
Usagi made a disappointed sound in her throat.
"Shhh." Naru put a finger-tip to the other's lips.
"Remember, buttons."
As she removed her finger Usagi kissed it.
She shifted her weight, and noticed the tension in Usagi's
thighs as she shifted. This did feel nice.
Usagi wanted to hunch forward but another part of her mind
tried to maintain some control.
The pressure of the other girl's thighs pressing down on her
gave her the same sensation that she felt when she held
Snuggle-Bunny that way.. Except, this time it was her who
was getting squeezed.
She reached out and felt her friends hips and slowly moved her
hands back and forth from her sides to her back.
The Over-sized shirt Naru wore was bunched up around her waist and
Usagi could see the small roses on the pale pink cotton of
the other's panties. She could also see that they were darkened near
the bottom and this confirmed that the other girl felt as she did.
She saw a small wisp of reddish hair peeking from the hole
of one leg.
For some reason this also excited her.
She watched as Naru pulled her top down and straighten it.
This also gave her the excuse of wiggling a little bit to "help"
her friend.
She had been right.
It had felt good to have Naru touch her bare skin.
Now, she watched as with careful fingers
the other undid first her top button, and then another.
Naru traced her fingers down Usagi's neck and into the "V" of the
neck of the shirt. She traced it all the way down and then just a
little further. She undid a third button and repeated this, her
finger passing into the cleft of flesh.
She then removed her hand and un-did the bottom button.
Usagi made a frustrated sound.
"You know." Naru said. "Maybe you are right after all.
I am a meanie."
Usagi stuck her tongue out.
"Behave." Naru cautioned with mock sterness. "Or I'll stop."
The tongue retreated.
Naru looked down at the girl and then undid another button.
One lone button remained. it did a poor job of hiding Usagi's
attributes and perhaps even emphasized them.
Usagi could feel the muscles in Naru's thighs as the other girl
slowly and almost imperceptibly rocked against her.
She felt like a spring or like a wind-up toy and she fought an
urge to force the other girl into somehow hurrying her motions.
Naru licked her lips.
"Well." she said. "One button left. A big decision here
- I mean it's a big step isn't it?"
Her words were playful but there was truth behind her words.
Usagi watched her bright-eyed.
Naru's hand hovered over the button and Usagi pushed up offering
herself to the other girl.
Her nipples made sharp points in the flannel.
The hand retreated.
"Naruuuu." Usagi whined.
"I have to think about this." Naru's green eyes were bright as well
and seemed to glitter. "I have to deliberate."
Usagi watched her frustrated friend - What was there to deliberate?
Serious step?
She and the other girl had changed together countless times.
She wanted Naru to look at her - to touch her.
Now.
Boldly, and without really thinking, she acted. (If she had actually
stopped to think she probably wouldn't have. )
She reached her arms out and placed them on Naru's panty-clad hips
and began to run her hands up Naru's sides.
"Deliberate." She said, her voice becoming husky as she spoke.
"Deliberate on this."
Her hands moved up under the sport-shirt and up, up across Naru's
stomach. (She felt the other girls shuddering inhalation of surprise)
Up, 'till she could feel the beginning of the other's ribs, then
up further to cup Naru's breasts in gentle hands.
"Usa-chan!" Naru's breath was a hiss.
Usagi was surprised herself.
The feeling of the gentle curves, the hardening points of the nipples,
The biology was all familiar but this was oh so different.
When she had done this to herself alone in the dark it had been
exciting simply because she knew she wasn't supposed to be doing it.
The pleasure of the forbidden mixed with the pleasure of pleasure.
Now, she was touching another.
She felt a hopeful confidence that she somewhat she knew how to
touch the other girl.
Carefully, the blonde girl took her own private experiences and memories
and from her own at least tried to re-create the pleasures she had felt
herself in the other.
Usagi hoped that the way Naru moaned as her touches progressed
indicated she was doing the right things.
She wondered if it felt the same to Naru.
-That strange mirroring.-
Now that she knew that Naru had also enjoyed the sensations with
herself she wondered if this was what the other girl felt
- as if she touched a mirror as she also touched her friend.
Opening her palms slightly she trapped the nipples between her
fingers and then closed her hands to trap the curves of soft flesh.
As Usagi's fingers trapped her she felt twin jolts of ticklish
electricity jolt to her center. Naru's vision blurred.
She felt her eyes begin to roll back into her head.
Her mouth opened and she made a low sound.
She pushed herself forward onto the other girl's hands,
cupping them within her own within the fabric of her shirt and
then braced her hands on either side of Usagi's shoulders.
As she moved she ground her hips down on the other girl, lurching
as Usagi bucked up to meet her.
"Ah..yesssss." Naru bent low over Usagi and began to frantically
kiss the other girl as her hips continued to rock.
Usagi was surprised by the intensity of Naru's reaction but not at
all unhappy. Naru pressed down on her and she felt the other girls
warm excitement pressing into her.
Naru's kisses moved across Usagi's face, kissing her cheeks, her
chin, the curve of her neck and then her lips with a pressing bruising
need.
Usagi responded in kind as Naru's body, leaning forward, forced her
own arms back down towards herself.
She felt the backs of her hands pressing and rubbing her own breasts
as the other girl swayed and moved against her.
As they moved Usagi seemed to hear and feel everything, the panting
gasps
- both from herself and Naru.
-The pressure of the other upon her,
the sound of cloth on cloth, skin on skin and a fainter wetter
sound.
- It was if *Something* was choked - was building inside her.
She had felt herself have an orgasm before (at least that's what she
thought it was) But this was quite different. It was *deeper*.
Naru suddenly pulled back and moved into a more upright position.
She reached for the hem and pulled it up, struggling out of her
nightshirt. There was a tearing sound as some of the old material gave
way but she continued.
Soon, only one arm remained trapped and she soon flung it free of
her and across the room.
Usagi could see that almost all of Naru's body seemed to have taken on
the rosy glow of one of the pale redhead's usual blushes.
She only had a short time to notice this as she caught sight of
Naru's eyes.
Usagi was taken aback by the look.
The other girls' normally bright green eyes seemed to almost glow
with jade fire and there was, well, a hunger that burned there
as well.
A cat, Usagi thought, a tiger.
It was a little frightening to see her friend looking at her like
that but it was also nice.
Naru felt the odd mixture of pain and pleasure in her body as she
moved and found to her surprise that she had drawn her lower lip
between her upper teeth.
She did nothing about her discovery however as she found she
didn't mind quite so much.
That little tickle of pain kept her aware of herself...
Otherwise she felt she would simply be washed away.
With every rocking movement against the hard and soft of Usagi's
pubis she felt the muscles of her stomach grow taught.
(Later she giggled about it when she told Usagi and wondered if
this sort of exercise* was better than gym.)
She felt the heat and wetness of her body mixing with that of the
girl below her and enjoyed the slick feeling of their sweat mixing,
their bellies rubbing and slapping against each other.
As she moved she watched expression on the other girl's face.
Usagi's head was tilted back and she could see the tension in the
muscles of her shoulders and in her neck.
Her face was contorted but somehow, somehow...beautiful
in it's appearance.
The blonde-haired girl looked up at her with an odd intensity.
Her blue eyes seemed both darker and yet full of an odd light
and her breathing came in short gasps.
Naru began to mimic the other girl's attention.
Shifting her weight she placed her hands back upon the other
girl's breasts and began to knead and squeeze them
together holding them softly, then more roughly as she drew them
together.
She carefully shifted her weight and slid one leg between
her friend's partially open thighs.
"Na, Naru-chan." Usagi panted. "That feels..nn, nnn, that feel's sooo
good."
Naru continued to take her lead from Usagi and, catching the other's
upright stiffened nipples she imprisoned them between her fingers,
stimulating them as her hands manipulated the other's soft curves.
Usagi responded with more intensive and convulsive motions.
She pressed her chest upward to receive more of Naru's
ministrations and also began to apply more pressure with her own
hands.
Naru began to squirm and twist on top of Usagi as the sensations
within her grew.
Her breath began to sound more like sobbing and tears formed in the
corners of her eyes.
As this happened her feelings fed both upon herself and were also
fired by watching the girl beneath her.
Usagi was dizzy and sweat stung as it ran into her eyes.
She twisted back and forth pushing herself upward.
The gentle rocking of her hips became faster and harder, and her legs
flailing about trying to clutch and imprison Naru's even tighter.
She tossed her head back and forth and that sweat-darkened
gold that was now beneath her whipped back and forth.
She needed,, she needed..
Making whimpering cries she let go of her friend's reddened
breasts and pulled her down scrabbling with frantic fingers at
her back.
Usagi forced her mouth onto her friend's and fed upon it like she
was feeding on a lush wet fruit. She moaned into her friend's
mouth, a helpless lost sound.
Behind her closed lids, things flashed red.
Lights seemed to explode in her like she was the core of a great
burning gem. A hot silver fire of crystal.
Together their bodies moved harder and faster than they could
control, moving till they could move no more.
***
Naru shuddered. With reluctance she shifted her weight from
her friends' panting form and off to the lie beside her making sure
that despite the heat, their bodies were still touching.
Her own body was slick and she could almost see as well as feel
the heat radiating from it.
As she regained her breath she slowly felt odd twinges coming from
where she had used muscles she didn't know she had.
Languorously and unobtrusively she ran her finger tips up her
dampened leg and slowly, as not to be obvious touched the
dampness to her lips.
The smell, a mingling of herself and Usagi was ...nice.
Some time passed and the girls began to breath more normally.
That was when the realization of exactly what happened really set in.
Naru tried several times to speak but each time stopped.
How could it be that they had been so intimate and now this silence.
Inside , despite her warm feelings a small voice nagged at her.
She hoped they hadn't ruined their friendship for
- well, whatever had just happened.
She slowly looked over at Usagi,
glancing stealthily through silted lids and after a moment saw that
the girl had been stealing covert glances at her as well.
"She's looking again." Usagi thought.
"Why do I feel like I'm so naked (well, I am mostly... but I feel odd."
Impulsively she looked over at Naru directly and, catching her eye
gave her a small (hopeful and) re-assuring smile.
Naru decided to take the plunge.
"Well." Naru said and pushed a sweat-dampened lock away from
her face.
Her curling red hair was even wavier than usual.
"Well." she repeated.
She had finally caught her breath but felt her *self* was still
off somewhere...closer now but still just possibly ahead of her.
"That was nice Naru-chan." Usagi said dreamily from beside her
and now Naru openly watched as the other girl's flushed chest moved
up and down with her still-rapid breathing
Usagi closed her eyes and then took a deep breath. She let it out
slowly and finally felt another wave of warmth pass through her.
She opened her eyes and noticed Naru was starring at her with a
smile upon her lips.
She shuffled, and then partially rolled over to rest on an elbow,
careful not to pull her unbound hair.
She looked down at herself and touched one of her nipples and felt
all shivery , then reached an inquisitive finger over and gently
touched one of Naru's.
"It's paler." she announced. "Than mine."
As if in apology for her touch she gave it a gentle kiss.
Naru closed her eyes at the sensation and smiled, lips slightly
parted.
"You know, your skin really looks pale next to mine."
Usagi continued on her voyage of discovery.
"Sort of like cream and Naru-chan!" She sounded tired and yet excited.
"OOOH! You've got freckles, like everywhere! I mean I always knew you
had lots but I never really, you know, . . . looked.
Naru could feel herself blush. "I know." She mumbled.
"I hate 'em."
"No!" Usagi cried aghast. She had, while being fascinated, briefly
forgotten exactly how much Naru had disliked them.
"They're neat." She said. "I mean, I wonder what sort of picture
you could get if you connected them?"
"Usagi!" Naru opened her eyes and shot a glance at her friend.
"I'm kidding." Usagi said quickly giggling. She tossed her head and
her perspiration-darkened hair covered most of her torso like a
pale curtain.
Naru noticed that the other girl had managed to wriggle out of
both her bottoms and her panties which lay in a sodden bunch on one
leg.
Her hair was darker there but still golden.
She hadn't really noticed before
- Well, she had but never in this way.
She also noticed the hint of pinkness underneath as the other girl
shifted her weight.
She just hadn't considered what she was considering now
- What she had just done.
She drove that thought from her head to answer her friend, her
lover.
"It's okay." She said. "I just don't like 'em that's all.
"Maybe I could join them with kisses sometime." said Usagi and
promptly flushed and looked quickly away.
Naru felt her own embarrassed coloring heat and deepen.
Usagi, was not daunted for long however - Naru guessed it was
a byproduct of simply being used to constant embarrassment.
"No," She insisted, "Really, they look good on you... you look like
some kind of tiger...no, that's stripes. - Like a leopard."
Naru made her hand into a paw and mock growled.
Both girls laughed.
She really does look like a cat Usagi thought. Curled up like
that, a big relaxed cat.
She felt relaxed herself. She felt like, well, she wasn't sure.
- but nice.
Ne, Naru-chan?" She said propping herself up on both elbows.
"Hai?" Asked Naru affectionately.
"This was really really really nice." She said earnestly.
"REALLY NICE."
Naru giggled.
Ya know, ... well..." Usagi's finger-tip doodled lines in the sheets.
"What do you think it's like with a boy?"
"Probably even nicer." Naru said a smile dancing upon her lips.
She didn't know any boys she felt THAT way about, except she
probably wouldn't say no to Mokoti - He was cute... and OLDER.
She also considered the feelings that she had gotten from her friend
and couldn't help but wonder....
"Really?" Usagi said.
"Well, maybe." She conceded. "I mean Hikari and Sana say that boys
are creepy but I think they just haven't ever even looked at boys."
"'cause they are too busy looking at each other." Usagi giggled
thinking of how the girls Naru mentioned didn't even look at other
girls, much less boys.
Naru nodded and continued." ..this may be fine for them but I think I
want a boy who will..."
"Sweep you off your feet." Usagi suggested repeating the earlier
conversation. "Like a Prince."
"Mmmm." Naru agreed and reached over to turn out the light.
"One with a cape and a white horse."
"Well," Usagi said. "I'm really not sure. I mean I love you but
I...I don't think I'm *in love* with you.
But, but I want to do that again .. well," She flushed.
"I REALLY want to do that again."
Naru blushed and giggled.
"But" Usagi continued. "I don't want to *not* do this with boys
either. The right boy." She amended.
"I don't want to say that's it for me without you know...tryin."
Usagi blushed again and wondered how she could manage it.
"Usagi." Naru laughed. "You sound like you were just eating dinner
and are full." She pantomimed rubbing a full stomach.
"Oh." Usagi said. and her eyes had a dangerous glint.
"Oh I did have a tasty snack."
She licked her lips.
Naru now bright red, squealed in outrage and hit her with the pillow
as the other girl, face flushed from her own words, cackled.
When the pillows had stopped flying Usagi continued.
"I just don't want to say.. well, you know...it's like ice cream."
Naru panting from pummeling her friend raised a questioning brow.
"Well," Usagi went on. " When we go to Bobson's I like to try
different flavors...I know I like some and I eat them."
"Lots of them" Naru interjected and Usagi stuck out her tongue.
"And there are the ones I haven't tried. I want to keep
the ones I like but I want to try new ones as well. I won't say no
to a boy (or to boys in general) until I've at least had a
sample.
Naru nodded in understanding.
"A sugar cone?" She suggested nastily and the other made a face.
"Now," Usagi said wrinkling her nose at her friends' comment
We should go to sleep before I get hungry." Said Usagi exercising
unusual common sense.
It soon was disproved by her next words. "I mean, the sooner we get
to sleep the sooner we can go to Bobson's in the morning."
Naru shook her head. Her friend may have had a one-track mind but
it went around a lot of curves...
Usagi flopped down again and yawned.
Naru reached across to the stand beside her bed.
With a *click* the light was out and the room was in darkness.
The girls shifted to get into a more comfortable position on the bed
and Usagi lightly draped a cool cotton sheet on their dampened forms.
Naru curled herself around her friend. She reached around and rested
her arm loosely around her friends still sweat-sheened body.
She could feel a slight stinging from her back and wondered
what Usagi HAD done.
Usagi wriggled, searching for comfort until Naru's hand was cupping
one of her pink-tipped breasts.
She sighed.
"Naru-chan?" she whispered, the darkness making it a time
for whispering.
"Hai?" Naru whispered back.
"Will you let me ride his horse sometimes?"
"Only when he and I are busy." The redhead replied gently tweaking
the other girls' nipple for emphasis "Doing this."
"Naru-chan?"
Naru couldn't help but smiling. This was the way they had gone to
sleep every night that she had stayed with Usagi or Usagi had stayed
with her.
- Usagi asking questions till she finally fell asleep.
"Hai?"
"Naru-chan, if that was the first time we did this.. don't you think
we should keep practicing...just so we REALLY know how to do stuff?"
Naru blushed. If she had blushed more the darkened room would have
glowed pink.
"Maybe." She said and knew it would be soon.
She had all the time in the world to wait for her Prince only now,
because of her best friend, the waiting wasn't so hard.
And, oddly enough, Usagi made sense.
I mean what Prince wouldn't be happy with a girl who knew how
to kiss?
"Naru-chan?" Usagi's voice was fading.
"Hai, Usagi?" She asked but was greeted by the soft rhythm of her
sleeping friends breathing.
She wondered who he would be and as sleep took her she could see
almost see his face....
*FIN*
Here I go again.
In the face of "Why aren't the Senshi Lesbians?" I of course began to
write a non-lesbian same-sex fic.
- Maybe I'm a glutton for self-delusional punishment.
I'll admit I've got a soft spot for Naru (not Molly... don't like
the Bronx Accent) but we don't really know all that much about her
especially her past. She's supposed to be a really good friend
to Usagi but after the other Senshi begin to appear she sort-of
fades into the background.
We know she lives with her mother -where's her father?
dead?
divorced?
A slave to Metallia? (well, with Naru's luck as monster-bate) ;)
So ya, I killed him off.
Umino seems to have been a fixture in the girl's lives as well...
when did Naru notice him?
Did Usagi ever *consider* him?
I don't know.
I guess this is a lead-in to my "Prom Night" story. It's sort of a
"Hmmmmm Maybe Naru had *SOME* sort of experience." This isn't
even counting Neffy.
It also gives a *possible* "pre-Moon" back-story.
As I said, we may be missing a little info on the Neffy
side of Naru's experience... but then , that's another story.
Whoops, this just in. John Martin tells me the following:
In Erica Friedman's "The Distinction Between Strategy and Tactics"
Quote Stolen to act as a plug for that:
(forgive me Erica.)
***
.... I can help *you* with something." Usagi continued.
"I've kissed another girl - even if you haven't!"
"What?!" Ami put her hand to her mouth in mock horror.
"Not Haruka-san, I hope?"
"Nope. Naru-chan." She spoke defensively, as Ami began to laugh,
"A long time ago, now. Before Umino and Mamo-chan, of course."
***
So I guess a tip of the hat is indeed in order.
Drop me a line 'cause C&C is always welcome.
I may not change anything or you may make a HUGE difference.
I do read 'em.
nite.
