Stealing Spree

Chapter 16: Maemuraʼs Resolve, Akaneʼs Love

”Help how? What do you want to do with Sakuma? Cripple him?”

”Stop joking, Mr. Lazybones. Because of you. Because of your damn mouth.”

”What? What did I do?”

I try to play dumb to fork out more details from her

”Are you already old? Because of what you said last Tuesday. I got this conscious of him.”

Ah. When I told them to date each other in which they both shouted impossible in response. That seems to be the trigger as to why she wanted to confess now.

”What? Could it be? You like Sakuma? Wow.”

”I was keeping it hidden but because of you. That foul mouth of yours.”

Your mouth is fouler, you know? Just count how much you insulted Sakuma and me since day 1.

”Yes, yes. If you say itʼs my fault then my fault it is.”

”I know youʼll bow down before me.”

Really? Maybe you will bow down to me as well. As long as I play my cards right. You can hate me then but I wonʼt stop. Iʼll make you mine. Ah. Iʼm really getting excited even if theyʼre not a couple yet. I see. I can also do it like this. Maybe this will work on Andou too. That girl is scary. Stealing her will make me breathe better inside the room. I wonʼt be under her observation and even if I am, she wonʼt be able to go against me. Ah. My secret desire is filling up just by thinking about it.

I see. I get it now. I understand a new thing about my desire. Itʼs not always about someone having a boyfriend or husband. Itʼs about if the girl loves another man. The effect is better if the man loves her back but I think it will also work even if the feeling is unrequited. That excitement of snatching someone who likes another man. Ah, I see now. I was interpreting it wrong all along. But why am I not feeling excitement for the girls who love me? Is it because I canʼt steal from myself? I donʼt know.

So for Andou, Iʼll start planning for her. For now, Maemura it is. They like each other so this will give me better excitement.

”Yes, your highness. Your wish is my command.”

”That doesnʼt suit you at all Onoda.”

”Why?”

”You donʼt fit the image. Youʼre more like the jailer who tortures the prisoners.”

What the hell is that imagery? Do I look like that? And here I am trying to maintain my status as Classmate A.

”So should I torture Sakuma then?”

”Idiot. That wonʼt work. I need you to help me gather resolve.”

Ah yes. The Maiden in Love trait is kicking in.

”Okay just tell me what to do?”

”First. Tell me what you think of me? Your honest opinion.”

Honest opinion eh? Then letʼs be completely honest. Tell her the thing I desire most.

”Are you sure? You wonʼt punch me tomorrow, will you?”

”What? Will you say something that will make me punch you?”

”I donʼt know. Iʼd like to have some insurance.”

”Ah. Youʼre too demanding for a servant Onoda. Okay. Iʼll give you a word that I wonʼt punch you.”

Ah. Yes. Iʼll be serving you down there too. And in turn, youʼll serve me too. Weʼll serve each other without Sakuma knowing. Look at how despicable I am to someone who considers me as his friend. But I canʼt deny this excitement. This is it. What I truly need. Not that vague emotion called love.

”Then. What do I think about Maemura? I want to make you mine.”

I told her the same words I told Shio, just the wording is a little different. Theyʼre not a couple yet so I canʼt say I want to steal her from Sakuma and that will probably raise her cautiousness against me.

I donʼt know but it seems to have an effect. Her fast response slowed down. Is she flustered? Embarrassed? Ah. I want to see her face right now.

”What the hell Onoda? Are you serious? Youʼre not playing with me, are you?”

”You asked for an honest opinion, Your highness.”

”Something like that, really? Youʼre really not joking? Argh. What the hell Onoda?”

”Donʼt punch me okay.”

Maemura, Iʼll work on you slowly. Weʼre just starting.

”Argh. I wonʼt. I already told you.”

”So whatʼs this about?”

”Ah. I told you. I need resolve to confess. But you, to suddenly say it like that. I got more confused.”

”What? Donʼt be. Thatʼs just my honest opinion of you. That doesnʼt mean you need to be conscious of me.”

”Now that you say it like that, then okay.”

”So whatʼs next? Will I be of more help?”

”I canʼt stop thinking about what you said. Give me time.”

Ah. Itʼs showing an effect. You can be this cute too Maemura.

”So you like Sakuma. Since when?”

”Keep this a secret okay.”

”Cross my heart.”

Do I have one? Ah yeah. That internal organ that keeps me alive.

”Since 6th grade.”

Like I guessed. Sheʼs holding it in for long. Thatʼs why when someone pointed it out she woke up. Ah. Since 6th grade then does that mean sheʼs still a virgin? Possible. No, itʼs a certainty at best.

”Wow. Really Maemura? 4 years. Itʼs already been 4 years.”

”I know. When you joke like that last Tuesday, I got really conscious of my feelings for him. It woke me up to the thought that Iʼm running out of time.”

Thatʼs not an ordinary ʼlikeʼ now. That feeling that was boiling for 4 years. Was it love? Is this the same as what Akane is feeling? I honestly donʼt know.

”I see, Your highness is a maiden in love. Waiting for your Prince Charming whoʼs eternally sleeping on that bed. You now decided to give him your kiss to wake him up.”

But Prince Charming can stay asleep for now. Me, the jailor will taste the Princess first.

”What the hell? Why does that sound so accurate? Are you a literary genius?”

”No Your Highness, just a jailor that is serving you.”

”Youʼre funny Onoda. Thank you. I think I received some resolve from you through that.”

”Iʼm glad to be of help.”

”What about you Onoda? Donʼt you like someone?”

If that like is equal to love then no.

”I just told you earlier.”

”What? Youʼre still on about that? Itʼs not ʼlikeʼ and you told me to not be conscious of you.”

”But you asked. Not my fault.”

”Youʼre truly amusing and weird. I can now see why Rindou is so into you.”

Weird. Yes. Iʼm weird again. Iʼm the weird guy.

”Huh? Why Rindou?”

”You donʼt know? She likes you.”

Ah. I donʼt know. Why does she like me? Why do I keep having these questions?

”Really? I donʼt know. Iʼm helping her to gather the courage to talk to others.”

”And that is why she likes you. If you saw Rindou back in middle school, youʼll see how gloomy she was. But since day 2. Sheʼs starting to cast out that gloom.”

”But I want you more than her.”

Iʼll slowly imprint into her mind my desire to own her. About Rindou, I donʼt know. Iʼll just keep at what Iʼm always doing

”Idiot. Donʼt change the subject. Continue helping her.”

”Of course. She, liking me, wonʼt affect my decision to help her.”

”Youʼre an amusing, weird and good guy Onoda. I might like you too but sadly I like Sakuma more.”

Iʼm not a good guy. I will never be that.

”Itʼs enough that I want you Maemura. You can keep liking Sakuma, I donʼt mind.”

Yes. I only want to steal you. Doesnʼt mean I want you to like me or you might end up like Yae. Haa. I can only wish good luck to Yae now. Iʼll treasure our memories of the duration that I stole her.

”Weirdo. Help me more, okay?? I need more resolve.”

”Just tell me what I have to do, Your highness.”

”Tomorrow. Can you go to school early?”

”How early?”

Here it is. Next step.

”6 am.”

”Where?”

”In front of the Gymnasium.”

”Iʼll be there.”

”Iʼll tell you the details when we meet.”

”Okay.

”Goodnight then, Mr. Jailor.”

”Goodnight, Your highness.”

And like that, our conversation ended. I donʼt know what will happen tomorrow but letʼs hope itʼs a good thing. Maemura is still innocent of worldly things, I might be able to teach her some knowledge.

I rested a bit more before I went to the kitchen to cook my dinner.

I was in the middle of eating it when my phone rang. And currently, only one number was set to ring in it. Kanaʼs.

”Hello?”

”Ah. Ruki. Good evening.”

”You called? What happened?”

”Ah no. I just wanted to hear your voice.”

Eh? What is this? Kana? Donʼt tell me, you? No no. This doesnʼt mean sheʼs starting to like me right? It wonʼt evolve to what happened to Yae, right?

”Here. Iʼm talking to you now, Kana. Miss me?”

”Y-yes. I miss you.”

”Thatʼs cute, Kana. I miss you too.”

Letʼs pay her some lip service.

”Auu. Just hearing your voice is making me smile.”

”Iʼm glad, Kana. So what happened earlier?”

”Ah yes. Kenji, heʼs suspicious about why I ended the call. I told him Iʼll let him borrow my momʼs massager if he couldnʼt believe me.”

Wow. Sheʼs sticking to that excuse. Does her mom really have that kind of massager? I find it amusing.

”So, did he eventually accept it?”

”Yes. He did. But heʼs so grumpy the whole day. That made him fail to concentrate on his piece. I scolded him during club hours, that made him calm down.”

She really did have a way to put him on a leash. I underestimated you, Kana. Youʼre more interesting than I thought. Now Iʼm itching to do you again.

”My Kana is amazing.”

”Auu. Donʼt tease me. I.”

”You what?”

”I-itʼs embarrassing, Ruki.”

”Who am I, Kana? I accept everything from you.”

Except your heart.

”T-then. I might get wet down there. Auu.”

”Youʼre too cute, Kana. You donʼt need to be embarrassed about that. Show it all to me.”

”Auu. I.”

”Again? You what, Kana?”

”I-i want you, Ruki. Iʼm already wet down there.”

”Ah. I wish I was there. In your room. Iʼll give it to you anytime, Kana.”

Sheʼs too erotic tonight. What the hell happened to you, Kana? You only lost your virginity to me last night and now youʼre asking me for it.

”T-tomorrow morning, Ruki. In the clubroom.”

”What?”

”T-there will be no people there. W-we can.”

”We can what? Tell me, Kana. What can we do inside the clubroom?”

Ah. Teasing her like this is making me hard. This excitement. What if that Kenji is trying to call her now? Heʼll only hear the busy dial tone. Most probably heʼll get suspicious again. Ah. This is filling my desire up.

”W-we can have s-sex. Inside. I want you inside me again Ruki.”

”You know, youʼre making me hard now Kana. Tomorrow then.”

”Auu. Yes, Iʼm glad I can make you hard. Iʼll wait for you inside the clubroom.”

”Iʼll be there. Goodnight, Kana.”

”Y-yes. Goodnight, Ruki.”

Ah. That fills up my desire for tonight. Kanaʼs too erotic, I wonder if I can hold this in? Iʼm too hard right now. Itʼs a waste to masturbate. I want to fill her up with my semen before classes start tomorrow.

I finished eating my dinner that was left lying there when Kana called. Though itʼs cold now, itʼs still satisfying. My desire was filled up by Maemura and Kana, Iʼm even hard down there. Ah.

I washed the dishes and took a bath before preparing for bed. Iʼll leave early tomorrow for Maemura so I wonʼt be able to take a bath in the morning. Suddenly my morning was already packed. Maemura at the Gym then Kana at the clubroom. Iʼll happily fill up my desire again.

I thought my day was already ending when I heard someone knocking on the door again.

Ah, this girl. As expected, itʼs Akane. On her hands is a pair of pajamas and a pillow.

”What? Why are you here holding that?

I ask.

”Are you growing dumb? Iʼm sleeping in.”

Akane says then she invites herself in. She even went directly upstairs. And from there I heard her voice.

”Donʼt come up yet. Iʼm changing into my pajamas.”

What the hell?

I lock the door then shout below the stairs.

”What are you doing Akane?!”

”I just told you. Iʼm sleeping in. This is a trial run before we start living together next week!”

She shouts back.

This girl. Deciding everything on her own. I climb upstairs and open the door to my room.

There lies Akane, in her underwear. Sheʼs in the middle of changing into her pajamas.

”W-what? I told you not to come up yet, you pervert!”

She shouts as she throws her clothes to me.

”I seem to recall that this is my house. I can go wherever I want.”

”Y-you pervert. Are you thinking of attacking me now?”

Akane blushes in shame. She has no choice but to continue changing in front of me.

”I admit your figure is too sexy but no I wonʼt attack you.”

”Huh? W-why? All those girls you brought here. Didnʼt you attack them?”

”Yes. But thereʼs a difference, I brought them in. You invited yourself in.”

”Idiot. I canʼt believe you. Argh!”

Sheʼs fuming in anger now.

”So, youʼll sleep with me? Iʼm going to sleep now, I have to get up early tomorrow.”

I said then I lay myself on my bed.

”Y-you. Why are you so composed? Arenʼt you aroused at my body?”

”I am. Who wouldnʼt? But Akane. I wonʼt touch you. Aunt and Uncle will probably be angry at me if I did. And even if I do, you know my secret desire. I donʼt think I can get hard without it.”

”B-but youʼre hard now.”

Sheʼs staring at my hard-on.

”Ah. Right. It was because I just had my fill.”

”Ah. This idiot. I donʼt care anymore. Move over. Iʼll go to sleep too.”

Though this isnʼt as exciting as when Iʼm having the fill of my desire. This is amusing on its own. This Akane. Sheʼs truly serious at what she said earlier. Even trying it out tonight. Haa.

”I wonʼt. This is my bed. Youʼre the one sharing with me so lay on the remaining free spaces.”

”Youʼre bullying me Ruki. The truth is you want me to go home, right?”

”Yes. You can still change your mind.”

”Argh. I told you Iʼll teach you how to love. Iʼll show my love for you now!”

”Then please do so.”

Akane closes her eyes and jumps into my bed. She places her head on my shoulder and cuddles onto me like Iʼm a hug pillow.

”Aahh. This is Rukiʼs scent. I miss this. I miss this a lot. Goodnight. I love you. I love you. I love you. I wonʼt give up.”

A few seconds later, her soft snoring leaks out.

”Oii? Akane?”

What the hell? Sheʼs already asleep? Is this how you show me your love? I honestly donʼt get it.

Ah. Iʼm too tired. I guess Iʼll sleep too.

I look at Akaneʼs sleeping face. This girl, sheʼs pushing herself too much. But seeing her peacefully sleep like sheʼs in the safest place on Earth, I canʼt help but recall the time when my desire hasnʼt manifested yet. We often sleep like this back then. Together in one bed. Cuddling each other.

I donʼt think I can understand love but seeing Akane this earnest. I guess Iʼll give her a chance. I wonʼt be able to stop my desire though.

I stroke her hair and put her into my embrace. This girl is fighting for something uncertain.

”Goodnight Akane.”

I kiss her forehead and let myself drift into sleep. Tomorrow will be a busy day.
