Once Upon a Time...

"Fucking beautiful," Fae responded, walking with Akira, "I think I came about six times, but really I just stopped being able to tell when one ended and the other began after about four."

Akira smirked. "That good? You'd have to let me try him out sometime. I've been a little dry lately."

"Mmm, by choice I assume?" Fae inquired, "Anyway, I'd love to, but I think he wants to save all of himself for me for the time being. He's so cute when he gets all honourable. Still, I could probably get him to go for a threesome if I suggest it right in the middle of the afterglow. If you're cool with those, I guess I've never asked."

She laughed again as she opened the door for them. "No. If that's his mindset, I'll leave him all to you." Akira took a seat, crossing her legs. "But it is by choice... Or more like by obligation." She rubbed her head. "I haven't had the time like I did before to go and get my needs fulfilled lately."

"Oi!" Ayamasnapped. "Not all if us want to hear your toilet noises."

----

Alice chuckled. "You really need to be over the top to counter then, right?"

Kenji snorted and ignored her, continuing to strum harmonically.

---

"Of course!" Yuriko laughed. "Now this is a girl who understands."

"Whatever."

"Mmm, I find that hard to believe," Fae said, "It's not like it takes too long. Or are you just getting too bogged down in the process of trying to ask someone properly? Because fuck that, I know, like, six guys who would jump at the opportunity for a night with you right now. Seriously, I can show you pictures."

She laughed. "What you said." She checked her nails and grimaced. "I think it was more of what was going on with my brother. That whore he called a girlfriend left a terrible taste in my mouth for a very long while." Akira tossed her hair over her shoulder. "She got exactly what she deserved."

"Hey now," Faye objected, "I will not have you besmirching the name of good, honest whores by comparing them to... that."

"Just be careful with Kouga." Ayame said looking at Shinki worriedly. "He...he may not have a lot of political power but his tribe has acquired powerful allies and as much as I dislike him right now out treaty still stands. He could obliterate my people." Ayame sighed, "You had it all wrong...he doesn't need me. I need him."

Shinki looked at Ayame. "What?"

---

"UGH!" Akira groaned. "The thought of her gets on my nerves. To think that that thing was tramping around in my house."

Ayama groaned and stood. "Fuck this. I may as well be in class." She stubbed out her smoke abd left.
Yuki giggled.

----

Aluce dried her hands before offering one to the other girl. "In Alice and this is Miranda."

Kenji smirked as he heard her leave and picked up a more up-beat tempo.

---

Yuri took her hand and shook it. "Yuriko and that's Haru." Yuri whispered, "Carefuuuul. She's really cranky."

Haru sneered at her companion.

Yuki laughed as he sat back against the table. "Do you do that on purpose?"

-----

"Careful. I think you upset her." Alice smiled. "But she is cute when angry."

Miranda pushed off the wall. "Come on, Ali. We need to get back to the boys."

"Kouga's tribe have no real political power. They're actually a distance branch of my own tribe while mine is the main family branch. The main branch numbers has always been low and it became especially lower in recent times due to certain events...." Ayame frowned. "Meanwhile Kouga's tribe thrived without the dissension and back-stabbing that was prevalent in my own. My grandfather realized this and in a last ditch effort with the semblance of authority he still held, ordered the merging of the two tribes prior to my birth." Ayame's green eyes peered into Shinki's, "You have to be careful. All Kouga has to do is order a hit on the last remaining members with the allies he recently acquired. Which happens to be my grandfather, my sister and I. We are completely vulnerable. Kouga held more than just my heart....he holds the fate of our people."

Kenji hummed as he played his miniature instrument serenely. "Maybe, after she called my uke's music toilet noise."

---

Yuriko leaned forward, placing her jaw on both her fists. "Come on~ Stay a while. I like you guys." Haru gave her a look, which she ignored.

---

Shinki frowned. "If he should take up his fight with anyone, it should be himself. No one told him to go around, waving his dick all over the place. To take revenge on the three of you makes absolutely no sense to me."

"This is a bathroom." Miranda told them carefully like they didn't understand that chats shouldn't last longer than a few seconds here.

Alice grinned at the two. "I'm grabbing something to eat. You hungry?"

-----

Yuki chuckled. "Not going to class?"

Lily began to tut her tongue at him. "Naughty boy. Skipping classes. You may end up having to see-" she gasped in fake horror. "The guidance councillor."

"To be fair, I think the problem was more the tramping she did outside your house," Fae replied, "Inside it is where she should have been tramping."

"Oooh~ Food." Yuriko hopped off the counter and pulled Haru along. The vampire groaned and moaned in protest. "Hush, Haru! This'll be fun!"

---

Kenji snorted. "That bat doesn't scare me." He looked down on them with a raised brow, slowing his tempo of playing again. "But aren't you two calling the kettle black?"

---

Akira rolled her eyes. "She also brought in her cooties from those outside trampcapades into my sanctuary. You just don't do that."

Alice smiled as she tucked a strand if hair behind her ear. She walked down to the vending machine.

----

"Well, we are pots." Lily smiled.

"Kouga's all about waving his...you know..." Ayame blushed. "That's just how he is. All testosterone and ego. He likes to do things just because he can." She sighed. "I don't know what to do about it."

Shinki scoffed at the mention of Kouga's self-obsession and blew some hair out of his face. "Wouldn't the best thing for you to do be to talk to the Inutaishou about all of this if it's that serious?"

---

Yuriko asked as she followed behind them, "So what's with the weird-y names?"

----

Kenji strummed. "So we can get along just fine. We serve the same purpose in this school and I don't like my first period in the least."

"Well...I could I suppose, but that's really extreme. Especially seeing as how I need Kouga for the survival of my clan." Ayame sighed. "I wish it were simple as some high school drama when you could tell someone, but it isn't. We're under his protection, but...our problem are our own."

Shinki looked at her blankly, not understanding what she was saying, entirely. "Well, what would he do?" he asked, trying to get to at least grasp a little bit of it.

Ayame sighed, "Let's....let's just not talk about it for now." She looked around and checked the time, "Oh wow, we've been out here for a little while now. I think lunch coming is soon."
