Part Three
...To Release Her...

Still locked away in her room, Shiori listened to the message on her answering machine one more time. The slightest sliver of solace that it was; it remained her one and only comfort. �I suppose�� She thought to herself, ��it wouldn�t be that bad. I can do that� for you.�

Hours had passed since the duel had ended; since Shiori had returned Ruka�s call. Juri stood at Ruka�s door. She was hesitant to turn the knob and enter; too afraid of what would happen when she did. She remembered, perfectly, what he had told her then and she shuddered to think she had complied. She remembered it all too vividly.

�Should I be the victor, you and Shiori�� �I know�� Ruka interrupted, ��Don�t even say it.� Then he declared with his every confidence, �But if I win, for a single night, until the sun breaks over the horizon, you belong to me. You will be mine.� �What?� Juri asked in astonishment. What kind of screwed up requisite is that!?! It was getting dark out. If they were to duel, they had to do it now. �Is it agreed?� Juri clenched her sword in her hand. I just have to win. Then none of that matters. And I can. I know I can. Ruka called out to her again, �If I win, Juri, for one night, you will be mine and you will do whatever I say. Is it agreed?� The locket seemed to burn upon her chest, and she cried out, �Yes! It is agreed!� �Then the terms are settled.� Ruka said. �Let the match begin!�

Looking back on it now it all seemed so stupid. How did I lose? Why did I agree? What�s wrong with me that I couldn�t just walk away knowing it simply wasn�t worth it? Then Juri thought about Shiori. She opened the door.

Upon entering the room, Ruka�s voice greeted her. �So you stay true your word.� �I�m afraid so�� Juri muttered under her breath. What did he think I�d do? That snake! He can strip me of my clothing and even of my pride, but I still have my honor at least. She kept her head bowed, unable to look at him. He stepped out from the darkness into the lamplight beside her. �Is there anything you want, anything I can do to get you ready for me?� Juri maintained her quiet, even though his words terrified her. She had known what he planned to do with her, but only now did it strike her as the definite truth. His deep voice began again, saying �Juri� just ask. I don�t want to hurt you� not really.� Still she was mute, incapable of making a sound without betraying her contempt. She formed her hands into little fists at her sides. Then she felt his hands running over her body.

Slowly he untied her robe. �So you�ll be silent?� He asked laughingly. �Dare I say it suits you?� She would only eye the floor, her eyelids hanging low like limp curtains, the silver glitter of tears freshly painted upon her lashes. There was something deliciously erotic to her that moment, her face so full of anguish, her hair sinking over her naked body as he parted the fabric and let it fall. He lifted her chin, forced her mouth, once again, to his own, and cherished the sweeping sense of satisfaction for what she communicated to him with all she was: I surrender. I am yours. He forced his tongue into her mouth while his hands ventured bit by bit down her back. He was gradually pressing her closer and closer to him. She could not escape, not even if she wanted to. With both hands he gripped her ass hard then rounded her firm, shapely cheeks, lifting her legs up and wrapping them around him. In surprise she jerked her mouth away from his. She looked at him frightfully. Everything was happening so fast. Then she felt one of his hands shifting below her pussy.

To keep from slipping off of him she tightened her legs around his waist bringing her pubis up against his body. His fingers were stroking her gently, as though he were petting a kitten. Then he lifted his hand. His fingers were covered in her fluids. �Your body betrays you Juri.� He pressed a finger lightly to her lower lip. Then, submissively, she took it into her mouth, licking away her own warm juices.

Ruka was irrevocably captivated. He wanted to take her now, to ravish her at that very instant. But he restrained himself. He placed his hands below her again, carrying her over to his bed. He sat her down upon the mattress. Then there was a knock at the door.

The hinges squeaked as it opened, and Juri wrapped her arms around herself in an attempt to hide her unclothed body. What the hell is going on?Then a voice came, feeble and unsure, saying, �I�m not too early am I?� The voice was undoubtedly Shiori�s. She sauntered into the room. She was wearing her uniform, bending over to remove her shoes and socks. Juri watched in bewilderment as Shiori drew nearer to the bed with her small, unhurried steps. First she untied the tie at her collar and let it drape over her blouse. Then she placed her hands on her waist and loosed her skirt so it fell to her feet, then she kicked it aside. Next she gripped the bottom of her blouse and slowly pulled it over her head. Then she took off her bra and thong. She sat on the bed next to Juri, her nude body masked in the shadows. She was far more beautiful than Juri had, so many times, imagined her to be. She couldn�t believe what was happening.

�Surprised?� Shiori asked. She took Juri�s hand and let her cup one of her breasts, rub it, squeeze it. �I know you�ve thought about it� many times�� Shiori murmured. Then she leaned in closer to Juri, so that her lips brushed lightly against hers. �Am I everything you imagined, everything you hoped?� Her breath was the airy kiss of a ghost, a beckoning warmth taunting her cruelly. I still don�t understand. �What�s happening? Why are you here?� Juri struggled to say. Ruka answered with a voice full of contentment, saying, �I asked her to come here. She said she would do anything for me.� He paused, �And you, being everything to me�I asked that she do anything for you.� With Juri eyeing him in shock, Ruka sat upon the mattress, and then positioned himself behind her. He ran his hands down her arms and kissed her neck and shoulders over and over. �I just want you to be happy.� He whispered. Then, for the second time, he reached for the burning cleft between her legs and stroked the wet, sensitive skin surrounding it. Then he found the little nodule of flesh just above her vagina and rubbed it back and forth. Unthinkingly, Juri gave the breast in her hand a hard squeeze. �Oh�so you like that?� Shiori asked. Juri blushed profusely. Always the strong one, she detested revealing this side of herself, the vulnerable, submissive side so easily seized by this ecstasy. Pleasure victim that she was, she couldn�t help but let out a soft cry as Ruka pushed a finger into her. Shiori chuckled. �Yes. You like that a lot.� She said. Then, at last, Shiori kissed her, her velvety lips sending a luscious warmth through her body while Ruka continued to work her aching sex.

Touching, stroking, licking, kissing; Juri felt herself lost in a thousand sensations that would surely swallow her alive if she were to lose herself to them completely. Eyes closed, she could taste Shiori�s sweet mouth, her tongue thrashing against hers. She could feel Shiori�s hands fondling her breasts, squeezing them almost unbearably. Behind her, Ruka�s kisses continued to send shivers down her spine, one of his hands handling her throbbing clit, the other fingering her, in and out, with two fingers now. Juri found herself torn between both the man that loved her and the woman that she loved; torn between the many pleasures and pains that they were giving her.

Then, suddenly, she no longer felt Ruka behind her. She could hear him undressing; caught the sound of a zipper being unzipped. At that sound, the emptied orifice between her legs seemed to pulsate, all the blood rushing to it. Then Shiori backed away. Juri opened her eyes.

Shiori was touching herself. She stretched her supple body like a cat would, running her hands all over herself, then collapsed onto her back. ��Ruka�� she murmured, licking her lips, ��I�m ready�I want you�� Juri heard him rustling beside her. He was naked, and his cock was hard, thick, and long, a wonder to Juri as she stared at it, captivated. Something like that� how can it�? It paralyzed her, the mere sight of it, with a terrible fear. But still, her pussy seemed to yearn for it. It grew hotter as she thought of him filling her with it, too big for her�too impossibly big for her. He sat himself between Shiori�s legs, and with his hands under her knees, he lifted them so that her hips rose up just a little, and her eager sex was upturned to him, smoldering and wet. Juri looked on, bemused. And what am I to do� am I to simply watch? Her sex tingled. She wanted to touch herself, but she was unsure if she should, if Ruka wanted her to. Then he called to her.

�Juri, I want you to get on all fours over Shiori�s body, your legs spread out and her head between them, your face above her sex.� What? She stared blankly at him for a moment. I�I�m to do what? Ruka smiled at the innocent bewilderment that showed on Juri�s blushing face. ��Anything I say�.� He reminded her, tenderly. She hastily carried out his order.

When she was positioned the way he wanted, he lifted her face to him and covered it in kisses. His cock was pressing against Shiori�s pussy now, and she moaned with anticipation until finally he entered her.

He thrust into her slowly, each time a little deeper. Juri looked down and watched him pump into Shiori, in and out, faster and faster. It arrested her. Then he murmured to her, his words dispersed with several pauses for breath, �Lick her�Juri. Tease her�clit� it�s okay� I know you�want to.� It was as though he read her mind. And she did as he had told her, tonguing Shiori�s swollen mound gently, then forcefully, listening intently for the moans she was wrenching out of her. Then Ruka removed his cock from Shiori�s cunt. Juri stopped what she was doing to look at it. Then he ran the tip of it over her lips. It was bathed in Shiori�s juices, sticky and warm. Does he want me to�? Am I supposed to�? Then he spoke again, one of his hands running over her head through her disheveled, glossy hair. �Juri�I want you to take it into your mouth�. Can you do that for me?� Her heart raced. Her pussy tingled. Then hesitantly, she obeyed.

She ran her tongue up and down on it, depositing her feathery kisses all over the shaft. Then she kissed the head of it hard, tonguing it vigorously. After tantalizing it with all these acts, she took it into her mouth as deep as she could. She sucked on it, letting the head of it edge at the back of her throat. She used one of her hands to stroke the bottom of it and, occasionally, to lightly rub his balls and the tender space between them and his throbbing organ. She secretly delighted in all of this, loving the taste that was filling her mouth. Then he told her that it was enough.

He entered Shiori again, pumping into her even more rigorously, then stopping to let Juri suck upon him. Once, while doing so, Juri felt Shiori�s hands probing her other end. She lowered her pussy so that Shiori could better please it, kissing and licking and fingering it, making Juri even more enamored with the thing in her mouth. She watched Ruka pound into Shiori over and over, and she wanted to be filled the way Shiori was. Then she heard Shiori�s breath quicken. Shiori moaned loudly, her cries never forming into words; she was too overwhelmed, too fraught with her extraordinary feelings, to make any sense of them.

Juri envied Shiori, in that instant, for the sweet consummation that she felt. She craved for that same fulfillment. Cum trickled slowly down the inside of her thighs. Her breasts were teeming. Then, once again, Ruka lifted her face to his. Juri gazed at him in the same desperate way she had in all his dreams. Though she wouldn�t dare to say it, she longed for his cock to be inside her, to fill her in all the places she could never reach on her own. She couldn�t stop herself from shaking with the sensations that she felt. She couldn�t control the slight undulation of her hips as they begged to be pinioned against his. She couldn�t stop her fluids from dripping down low enough for him to see. She couldn�t do anything to hide her obvious desire, as ashamed as she was of it. She wanted him so badly, so hopelessly, that she couldn�t stand herself for it. Then, grinning, he said, �Your trembling Juri. Is there anything you want?�

At his words, she felt like collapsing. Will you force me to say it? Will you agonize me forever before granting me my release? �Oh Ruka�� she cried breathlessly, ��please� please�� He moved her to the side so Shiori could get up. Then he sat Juri down, brushed her hair away from her face and breasts, and commanded her, softly, �Just say it� just tell me what you want.� She struggled with the words. Then he raised her up on her knees and pulled her hips very close to his. He pushed her legs very far apart. Then she moaned.

Juri heard Shiori laugh. �Is it really all that difficult to submit to him?� she asked. But it was. For whatever reason, it seemed so difficult. Then she felt Ruka spread her nether lips wide. �You�re so wet Juri�� He murmured, ��I could just slide into that tight, burning cunt of yours, and wouldn�t that feel so wonderful?� �Oh God�� she thought to herself, despairing. If he leaves me to these feelings, unsatisfied, with no ability to appease myself, I will die� �Just ask me�� He assured her, �and I�ll make you feel unbelievably good.�

Then she wrapped her arms around him, pressed her aching breasts against his chest, and in utter abandon cried at last, ��I want to cum with your cock deep inside me! I want you to fuck me good and hard because of everything I�ve done to you! Dirty me for everything I�ve done to you! I want you to fuck me!� The words poured out of her mouth in a long breathless stream. Then feeling his large, rigid sex rub against her hungry pussy she echoed the last phrase again, dazed and euphorically, �I want you to fuck me� I want you to fuck me�� Then he pushed himself into her, stabbing his dick upwards as her head fell back in joy.

Even as his thrusts brought him deeper and deeper inside her, he had his hands on her hips pushing her down onto him. Then she started to recognize a certain part of her self that emanated even greater feelings of ecstasy. She aligned herself over his cock so that each time he aimed for that spot, hitting it over and over and over. �Oh God!� she cried, clinging tightly to him. �Right there! Right there! Oh Ruka! Oh God!�

Then he lifted her and positioned her in the same way, only her back was facing him. He kept one hand on her waist to work her and let the other massage her clitoris. Then with her help, he found that same precious spot again and pound against it even harder. Then Shiori crawled up in front of her. She got up on her knees as well. She cupped Juri�s breasts, felt them bounce in her hands as Juri rode Ruka�s cock up and down.

Shiori was kissing her when she finally came; her entire body drenched in sweat, quivering from the immense rush of pleasure running through it, her sex contracting over the organ filling it so perfectly, her face bright red with all her efforts. Almost immediately after she reached climax, she felt Ruka�s cum surge into her. He moaned into her neck as it happened, giving her a few more gentle thrusts until his fluids finally subsided. It all felt so incredible, too incredible to be real.

Hours passed. Shiori left long ago. She wasn�t on the Student Council; if she were caught out this late she could be expelled. But Juri�No�she had too much power after all. She remained in Ruka�s bed beside him, exhausted. �Where do we go from here? Are we�Do you�?� Ruka began. Juri hushed him by pressing a finger to his lips. He looked at her questioningly, unsure of what she meant by this. �Whatever the case, I imagine Shiori detested the prospect of leaving of us two alone together.� Ruka murmured. �Ah. Yes. Not like anything would happen, however.� Juri said, Ruka answering with a disappointed grunt. �And why not? You know, it isn�t morning yet.� He reached for Juri�s sex, and she cringed at his gentle touch. �Oh�that�s why�� he said, somewhat relieved. �You�re that sore? Well, I believe that little cunt of yours deserved it.� Then he kissed her forehead, lovingly. �I wouldn�t torment it any further.� Juri smiled. �Thank you.�

She arose and dressed herself. �So.� She began. �Will you and Shiori�� �Get back together? Do you need to ask? No. I never really loved her.� Juri grasped the doorknob and, as she turned it, whispered, �...No� and she never really loved me. Never will. But you lo�� Suddenly she was unsure of what she was trying to say or why she had even started to say it. Then Ruka uttered, before she could open the door, �You know, love isn�t at all what they say it is, that romantic curse that people make it out to be, unchangeable, persistent, eternal. People change; change their minds, and there�s nothing weak about that. Because no one�� ��Yes?� �No one can constrain you.� Juri stood perfectly still. Then, releasing the doorknob, she turned to face Ruka. He was still lying atop the mattress, his face turned aside, gazing at her. �No one can constrain your body or your will. No one or you will die�� ��without truly being born?� She interrupted. Ruka nodded. With that Juri opened the door and stepped out into the empty hall. �Yes.� She whispered. �I know.�
