Chapter Six: Sakura-hime:

After dinner, everyone cleaned up and scattered throughout the house. I went back to my room to study again. They tried to invite me down to play some games. I refused, of course.

“I have to study,” I told them. Akemi mocked me under her breath.

“I have to study,” she muttered. I pretended not to hear her of course. I just went back to my room and got right to work. About ten o’clock, I started to doze off. I didn’t even bother fighting it off. I just went into the bathroom and changed for bed. Afterwards, I brushed my teeth and went to bed.

Around midnight, I felt fingers caressing my neck as I slept. I trembled at the sensation. Soft kisses landed on my neck as well.

“Mmmm,” I mumbled. “Hitomi-chan…” The kisses soon grew into nibbles. I shifted a bit in bed.

“Mmmm…” I mumbled again. But then, someone tried to lift my shirt. I slowly opened my eyes and saw a woman lying on top of me. She had her hands on my pants, trying to take them off. The shock took a little while to reach my brain.

“What the?!?” I shouted. She put her hand over my mouth.

“Shhh,” she whispered, “It’s okay, It’s okay.” I looked at her with big eyes. I don’t think I’ve even seen a face look that elegant before in my life. She reminded me of a geisha in a creepy sense at the moment. Those violet eyes of hers burned a hole through my soul and heart. Escape looked impossible from her. Her deep red lips lowered themselves down to kiss me. My eyes widened in a panic. I shoved her next to me.

“Get off!” I yelled. The woman looked up at him, still wanting another go at me.

“What’s wrong, baby?” she whispered. I reached for my glasses above my bed and put them on. This woman pouted at me now.

“I won’t bite,” she whispered as she tried to embrace me again. I shoved her off.

“I don’t even know you,” I hissed. “How did you even get in my room?” The woman blinked at me.

“So, you’re not Isaac?” she asked.

“No!” I shouted. Suddenly, the lights cut on in my room. We looked up to see Sunao looking in with a scowl on his face.

“What the hell is going on in here?!?” he snapped. The woman tried to grab onto me.

“I found my new lover!” she declared. I pushed her off again.

“Get off,” I muttered. “This crazy woman broke in my room and tried to molest me!” Sunao narrowed his eyes at us.

“Didn’t Cassius tell you lock your door at night?” he asked.

“What’s going on?” Akemi asked as she, Romi, and Cassius walked to my door. My sister looked up and saw the other woman.

“Sakura-hime!” she yelled. “What are you doing to my brother?!?” The woman blinked at her.

“Wait,” she said. “This is your brother?”

“Yes!” Akemi and I shouted. Sakura-hime, as I already that was her name, placed her hand on her forehead.

“Oh, my bad!” she said. “I really thought you were Isaac! Sorry!” Cassius had to hold Nee-san back as she glared at the other woman.

“Uh… listen, Sakura-hime,” I said, “Could you please get off my bed?” She turned her attention to me.

“Huh?” she asked.

“Get off my bed,” I repeated. I gave her a little nudge as a hint. Sakura-hime looked down at my arm.

“Oh,” she muttered. “Sorry.” The crazy woman climbed off of my bed and stood next to it. Once Akemi calmed down enough, she cleared her throat.

“Anyway as you have guessed, this is Sakura-hime,” she told me, “Saku, this my baby brother, Kichiro.” Sakura-hime turned to me with a cat-like grin.

“Hi!” she said. I frowned and waved at her back.

“Hi…” I mumbled to her. Cassius sighed and gave me a face palm.

“I told you to lock your door at night,” he said.

“I was too tired,” I replied, “Plus you never told me why.”

“Sakura-hime gets a little flirty and handsy when she comes in drunk,” Sunao explained. My face just dropped.

“Oh…” I mumbled. Sakura-hime hugged on me again.

“Oh, where’s my Isaac-kun?” she whimpered.

“Asleep, like you should be!” Romi said. “In your own bed!” Sakura-hime pouted at her.

“Aw, Romi-chan! You’re no fun!” she whimpered. I tried to push the drunk woman off of me again. Sunao walked over and pried her off of me.

“Come on,” he said, “Let’s get you to bed.”

“No!” Sakura-hime whimpered. “I want Isaac-kun!”

“You’ll get to see him in the morning, now come on already,” Sunao said with gritted teeth. He dragged the drunk woman away to her room. The others and I watched as they disappeared out the door. My sister and Romi followed behind back to their rooms. Cassius turned to me.

“Anything else?” he asked. I shook my head at him.

“No,” I said, “I’m good. Really, I am.” Cassius gave me a shrug.

“Okay then,” he said. He turned to walk out of the room.

“Cassius,” I said aloud to him. He turned his head and looked at me.

“Yes?” he asked. I crawled under the sheets and pulled them to my shoulders.

“Could you turn off the light on your way out?” I asked.

“Sure, man,” he said. I waited until the light was off and he shut the door. I leapt out of bed as fast as I could and locked the door. I climbed back into bed and exhaled. That should stop more molestation attempts in the night. I took off my glasses and put them back in the case.

I hope so, at least…

I shut my eyes and did my best to try and go back to sleep.
