I (a member of the writing duo Stiff Neck from Fictionpress.com) Kamille, allowed Jio, the writer of the blog Glances and Views to post my story " And the Water Pipe Broke" from Fictionpress.com to this blog
Chapter 1: “It’s a Declaration of War, Remember That”
Taki Murasaki High, an All-girls school, well known for their beautiful and sexy, athletes, and painters, has a rival school called Kawa Minami High, an All-boys school on the other hand. Kawa Minami is known for their handsome and well-skilled athletes, and painters. Therefore, because of these two well known schools’ having them built in-front of each other there sparked up a war, of who’s the greatest.
The Main story focuses on 4 beautiful maidens, who shall lead the two schools.
“Nee Nee! Ri-chan! Ri-chan! The hot spring! Hot Spring!!” Mika said. “Yes, yes, coming, call out Aira, and Hikari over also,” Rika said then signaled Mika that the two were at the Living Room downstairs.
“Hai Hai!” Mika said and went down stairs to fetch Hikari and Aira.
--- The Taki Murasaki Dormitory has 10 rooms in all, with 4 students residing in each. Rika, Mika, Aira and Hikari are stationed at Room 8, while their Dormitory Head Chisa, is at Room 5 with her other 3 friends OR helpers. TMD has a large hot spring at the back of this large Dormitory, of course only girls are allowed in this hot spring. Take note, Kawa Minami Dormitory is in-front of TMD.
---- Dormitory Curfews, the Hot Spring’s only open at 8am – 6pm, since beyond 6pm the water gets really hot. Staying out of the Dormitory’s allowed at only 5am – 10pm, if you’re caught outside of the Dormitory, at 11pm – onwards without Chisa’s permission, you would be sent to detention, depending on how long you stayed outside, would be the length of the punishment. Each dorm room is endowed with 2500Z (Zen) for their own expenses on food, and other things. Each room has their own Kitchen. Of Course each room also has 2 bathrooms with a tub, and 1 toilet room. Every student has the right to patch up with part-time jobs, as long as they can keep up with the Track activities.
----- Taki Murasaki High is a few Kilometers away from the dormitory, since the School’s at the City and the Dorm’s not. Female’s allowed to board at the Dormitory, are those who’s really far away from the school, and are enrolled via scholarship.

End of Profiles
“It’s 5:30pm and nobody’s using it, what day is it today?” Hikari said as she dipped her right foot in the water. “Today’s Saturday, I think it was that band from Kawa Minami high’s concert today at the square,” Aira said and dipped her whole body in the water. “Oohh… So hot,”
“What’s so good about them?” Rika asked, and then followed the two in the spring. “Hmmm… aside of them being so handsome, they’ve got good voices, body build, and traits.” Mika said pointing her fingers out at the sky as if she’s counting out what they are. “Alright, alright, I get your point Mika-chan,” Rika said and then patted her at the head.
“HERE COMES CHISA THE PRINCESS!” Chisa said as she ran in the Hot Spring, jumped in the water, and the four ended up being splashed with water on their faces.
Rika whispered something to Hikari, who whispered it to Aira, and then to Mika. Mika and Aira stood up and went out of the hot spring. While Rika and Hikari, went to the “washing place”
Rika seemed to be looking for something.
Poke
“What do you think you guys are doing peeking in the hot springs?” Aira asked as she appeared (She’s in a towel) before 4 guys outside of the Hot Springs, with an open hole in front of them.
Rika had poked one of the 4 guys’ eyes (explanation for the poke word up there). “What do you think will happen to your school’s reputation if Mr. Jikan were to know this?” Mika asked.
--- Jikan Shira; Kawa Minami High/Dorm Owner, Mr. Takara Endou’s Younger Sister.
“Of Course, our reputation as athletes and the school’s reputation would be ruined then. But I know you wouldn’t tell her since you’re already stunned by our graceful, body build, and handsome looks by now,” The blonde haired guy said, while rubbing his right eye, which is definitely the one poked.
“Who would fall for your senseless words like that?” Rika said, as she popped in the scene with Hikari. “Oh, that’s to bad Ms… Big Chest,” The other guy with jet black hair said. This had hit a nerve from Rika, but she stayed calm.
“Oh, Jun hit a nerve,” the brown haired guy said now. “Alright, Alright, quit bullying this City’s top High Jumper alright?” The white haired eye-glass wearing guy said now.
“That’s a lie, you mean, this girl…? IS MY RIVAL?!” The Blonde guy asked. “You got it right, anyway, not to sound rude, Ms. Nakamura, Rensei, Takara, and Kirisaki, We’ll introduce ourselves,” The eye-glass wearing dude said.

End of Profiles 2
“I don’t care a thing or two about any of you, so just leave the dorms and butt off to your own dormitory rooms,” Rika said and pointed out their building.
“Well, it’s not bad since we’ve seen yours… this ones… that ones… that one also, and another ones bodies for today, so it doesn’t matter,” Ichiro said and then placed his hands in his pockets.
“Besides, seeing all of you in towels, are splendid also,” Jun said and then imitated what Ichiro just did.
“It doesn’t matter since when the time comes, you won’t even beat us in anything, since you guys are ‘girls’ just ‘plain girls’” Kinta said.
With that statement said, “Is that a declaration of war? We accept it at all cost, don’t get all boastful since you’re boys, but please reminded of it that, ALL of us here are record holders for the City,” Mika said as she pointed at Kinta’s nose.
“And take note, we still have a complaint to send to Ms. Jikan Shira,” Aira said and pointed out KMD’s building.
“Come back again, until you stand a chance,” Hikari said then all 4 of them walked back into the dorms.
“And oh yeah, I don’t believe you, you Nagisa person, only saw Chisa’s body, believe me, because I have a sense for it” Rika said and showed her tongue out.
It was 8pm already, the wind’s probably cold, and that’s why the girls backed off like that. But Take a look, they’ve made proper points, the guys were left there with their mouths open.
“C’mon everyone, let’s go back, you stupid, stupid Kinta, started a war with those, beautiful girls,” Ran said and hit him on the head.
Chapter 2: “What’s the matter with him?”
Poke, poke…poke
“Ngrh…” Rika groaned as the seemingly sunrise who just rose shone on her face. “You’re chest’s showing Ri-chan,” Mika said, who’s sitting on top of her, poking her chest.
“What?” Rika asked, not heard her. “Look, it’s big, poke poke,” Mika said and continued poking it.
“Hey!” Rika said and put her back her shirt, protecting her chest safely and glaring at Mika. “I’m kidding Ri-chan, you gotta cook breakfast now,” Mika said and jumped off her stomach.
“Oh yeah, it’s my day today huh?” Rika said plopped off bed, and then started to get dressed.
“TAADAAA!! Presenting today’s cleaner! Nakamura Rika-chii!” Mika said, and then pointed towards Rika, now dressed in worn-out jogging pants, and in an extremely loose shirt. “Yeah right, quit the Chii, eggs and sausages are prepared at the kitchen, help yourselves, I’ll clean the yard now,” Rika said and then headed out.
--- TMD/KMD Yard, in a road, there are two sides, KMD and TMD are at one side, facing each other, and the two buildings are separated by a large yard that is used by the athletes as a practice hall. The large yard is separated into half by a hog wire.
shik… shikk... shik
“Why does it have to be on Sunday?”
“Your day too, huh? Ogure Kinta,” Rika said as she started sweeping the yard with her broom stick. “Huh? Your day also huh? Well then, we should start and get along together then,” Kinta said and then started to sweep.
“Why does leaves, flies over here on spring? Must have been so weird huh?” Rika said, while looking at the trees around the field. “Hey… you aren’t mad at me?” Kinta asked. “Nope, because you’re not my rival,” Rika said and then smiled.
“But I’m the one who declared it; you’re still fine with it?” Kinta asked, “You’re still a kid, Kinta, yes it’s alright” Rika answered and then continued sweeping.
“Those two are so close…” Ichiro said, looking out the window, and enjoying the view of Rika giggling. “Jealous?” Ran asked. “Yeah, HEY! Of Course not! Will NEVER happen!” Ichiro said, and then he stopped looking out at the window.
It became 4pm already, and Rika’s back in the Dormitory, playing in the Hot Springs again, with their other dorm mates and her friends.
“Getting closey-closey, with Kinta?” Aira asked. “’Course not!” Rika denied. “Hmm...” Hikari groaned and looked at her with her eyes twitching. “What’s with that?” Rika asked. “Look look! Ri-chan! Ri-chan is blushing!” Mika said and then started poking Rika’s cheeks.
“Kinta’s young, and I don’t like young men, besides, I have no time for them, I gotta break the 180cm record still,” Rika said and clearly shoved the topic away.
“Is that so? huh? huh? HUH?” Mika asked and poked her cheek again. “Stop poking my cheeks!” Rika said and looked at her weirdly. And then everyone in the hot spring laughed.
The next day, another day for Rika, it’s time for her to clean up the gymnasium after club activities, AND the yard again.
“Why does the routine gotta happen now huh?” Rika complained as she slowly walked in the gates of Taki Murasaki.
---- Daily Routine, over the 40 students that reside in the dormitory, one of the duties they have to do is clean the yard, and cook food for their roommates. This is a two day routine that happens every year. In each room, the routine starts with the eldest, then to youngest, depending on the body stamina of course, on what duty they would be given, but usually for the youngest, it’s only cleaning the yard, and then the eldest have to cook the food again.
“Nakamura Rika-san!” Shizuka (homeroom teacher for her class) called on to her. “Y-yes?” She asked. “Your coach is looking for you”
“Gah…”
--- Mr. Oosaruzuki Kojima, Rika’s High jumping coach, who abuses her to get better results. Doesn’t need to explain how he looks like the name says it all. (A/N: Oosaru Monkey)
“Ye-yes Mr. Kojima?” Rika asked. “There’s a friendly competition at Tomogasaka High School this Wednesday High Jumping is the most important event, by then 174cm should be easy for you, so get changed and practice,” Kojima said with a cold tone.
“But what about my classes?” Rika asked. “Never mind them, I excused you from all of them, but if you really wanna learn them that bad, you can do make-ups at the end of the day,” Kojima said and then prepared her training spot inside the covered gymnasium.
--- Training facilities, the Gymnasium is big enough for the whole Track & Field team of the school. Just imagine how big it is.
“Oh… Look at that, Ms. Big Chest is training huh? Let’s watch,” Ichiro said as he passed by the gymnasium.
plak
“You hit the bar, do It again,” Kojima said after he had launched a powerful slap across Rika’s face. Rika just nodded.
“Hey, What? She, she got slapped?” Ichiro said and stared at her practicing form.
This time, she ran forward, and jumped, she has a very nice form, she hadn’t hit the bar, very good you see?
plak
Another hit, “You launched at the wrong timing and wrong pace, you’re worthless, what’s the matter with you?! You’re giving me the entire bad mood I should have for this day, rest for the mean while,” Kojima said and left her. Again, Rika nodded.
She went back and ran again, this time she had faster pace and a nicer timing, and go! Up she goes over the bar, and she landed down on the cushion.
“Ack,” Rika groaned, as she coughed with blood coming out of her mouth. “Gyahhh! Oh no, ha… towel, towel, towel,”
“Here” Ichiro said and threw one over her head. “Er, yeah thanks, eh? Why are you here?!” Rika had asked while pointing an accusing finger on his face.
“My Coach asked me to come over here and get details from your coach about the Friendly Competition at Tomogasaka High.” Ichiro answered.
“Alright,” Rika said and then, stand up again.
She prepared for a run again, on a mid-pace and then jump! She went over the bar easily again, but, when she landed, she had her eyes closed, and her long hair sprawled around the cushion.
“Uh, HEY! WAKE UP!” Ichiro said as he saw her, not budging from her position.
Alright, what happened now huh?
Chapter 3: “Is that it?”
“Oi! Are you alright? Hey!” Ichiro said and shook her body. “How troublesome,”
---- Kim Jang-nae (chang neh), Korean, 24, School Nurse, She has long red hair that she always puts in a ponytail. She’s a well built nurse, but the only thing bad about her is that she pokes her nose into other peoples romance whether it’s yaoi, yuri, or normal (yaoi is to boy to boy, yuri is to girl to girl relationships XD)
“What happened to her?” Ichiro asked now sitting beside Rika’s ward. “Heat stroke, and choking of blood,” Ms. Kim answered while raising an eye brow, “shouldn’t I be the one, to ask that to you, since you’re the one with her?”
“Well yeah, but, choking of blood,” Ichiro said and looked at her. “Why did she choke on blood?” Ms. Kim asked. “Don’t know,” Ichiro answered.
Ring Ring
“Yes, Hello? Oh Mr. Oosaruzuki! Yes, yes, alright,” Ms. Kim said and placed the phone down, “I’m going for a while, anytime she wake up, insist to carry her back to her dorm room, she also had some cramps on her thigh, and don’t do anything bad, I know you Mr. Nagisa Ichiro,” and then she closed the door
“Do anything bad huh? Maybe I will,” Ichiro said and then pulled out a porn magazine from his bag to read.
A few hours later… (8:00pm)
“I’m worried about Rika,” Hikari said and gazed above the book she’s reading. “She’ll be back soon, don’t worry, she might just be having some fun,” Aira said and went back to her reading. “Is Ri-chan becoming an adult now?” Mika asked.
---- Room arrangement, in a room there are 6 rooms, Living room, bedroom, kitchen, a toilet and 2 bathrooms. After the Living room, just turn left and there’s your bedroom, if you leave the door open, you would clearly see the bedroom. In the bedroom, there are 2 double deck beds, on the left and on the right. On the Left side, there’s Hikari in the bottom and Rika on top, and then on the right side would be Mika in the bottom and Aira on top.
“Where am I? This doesn’t look like the gym, does it?” Rika thought, her eyes scanned the surrounding, until it landed on someone’s back.
“Blonde hair… and tall… a guy” Rika thought and someone popped out of her head. “What are you doing here?” she asked and pointed her right index finger on his back.
He faced her, pulled her hand; he kissed it softly and said, “You fainted while taking your practice milady, as a gentleman in-charged, I humbly carried you over here,” and closed the gap of their faces into 1 inch.
“You? A gentleman?! ARE YOU KIDDING?!” Rika said and avoided his face. “I can feel his breathing,”
“Yeah right, anyway, Ms. Kim told me to insist on carrying you to your Dorm room,” he offered.
“I’m heavy, so don’t mind I can force myself there,” she coldly declined his offer.
“For someone 1 foot shorter than me, you’re only 50kgs, or might be only 48 kgs… the other 2 kgs are those,” He said and pointed at her chest.
“You’re lucky I’ve got cramps,” She answered as veins popped out of her head.
“Well you like it or not, here I go,” he said and carried her.
“H-hey! STOP IT!” she’s frantic, she never expected this.
“You’re loud, shut up,” he’s getting pissed.
“NO,” She strongly commanded.
“Or Else I’ll kiss you,” He replied and stared at her.
“Why don’t you t—“ She was shocked, he really did kiss her.
“Shut up, or more?” he asked. “…” It shut her up after all. It also made her blush.
“How dare you, that was my first,” she told him. “It was mine’s also,” he replied.
“Don’t lie,” She said and raised an eyebrow at him. “Who’s lying?” he said and continued walking towards their dorm.
The remained quiet like that. He’s carrying her bridal style.
“What’s your dorm room number?” he asked. “8” she answered.
The moment he opened the door was a mystery, he slowly walked towards the bedroom where the three other people reside in. Hikari and Mika’s jaws are wide open, while Aira ignored the situation, probably expecting something like it.
“Wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-wh—“ Hikari stuttered. “My bed’s on top,” Rika said, and then he lay her down it.
“I’ll take my leave now, Jun, Kinta and Ran might be looking for me also,” He said and flashed him a smile.
“What a conceited smile, Anyway! Thank you,” Rika said. “No worries, besides I touched your BIG record,” He said and returned her a perverted smile.
“Wh-what?” She asked while crossing out her arms in front of her chest. “I touched, that,” He said and pointed at it. “Wh-why you…” Rika said and prepared a pillow.
“Who would care anyway? Next time you faint on me like that, I’ll take advantage of you before I carry you to your clinic, So be careful,” he replied to her, his tone cold, and strong.
“Are you… concerned?” Aira asked. “Who knows?” He answered and threw her a tongue out expression.
And then he left.
Rika’s blushing madly.
“What happened?” Mika asked.
“This will surely go around tomorrow, just you wait, Nakamura Rika…”
Chapter 4: Rumors marked true
Poke
“Ri-chan! You’ve gotta wake up look at this,” Mika said, riding on top of Rika once more.
She showed her the Taki Murasaki School Paper,
“Hot news, High Jumpers affair,” Rika said and then scanned the page with her eyes.
She coughed on how someone got their “kiss” picture. “Wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-where did this come from?” She asked.
“First of all, did this really happen?” Aira asked peeking over the book she’s reading. Rika looked away; she hid half of her face under her blanket and replied a faint “yes”
Mika and Hikari fell unconscious, “HEY DON’T EXAGGERATE AS IF HE DID SOMETHING BAD!!” Rika whined.
The 3 grouped on one side of the room and talked, “She’s protecting him, she’s protecting him,” Hikari whispered.
“I DON’T WANT TO LOSE RI-NEE!!” Mika wailed. “No one’s losing who, I don’t mind her having a boyfriend, but not a playboy that is,” Aira said.
“HE’S NOT MY FREAKING BOYFRIEND!” Rika’s going furious now.
“Now, now don’t freak out, we know, WE ALL know, but would you mind telling us how did this happen?” Aira asked.
And then Rika told the whole story. “So that’s why, but, where did these pictures came from?” Mika asked. “Who knows? Someone might’ve wanted to frame me up, but this isn’t false,” Rika said and then heard the bell ring.
“Did the bell just ring?” Hikari asked, “I think so,” Aira answered as the four of them started to panic into going to school.
They reached school safely though, once again it’s time for Rika’s “harsh” training.
“You’re timing’s off, again,” Mr. Monkey, I mean Oosaruzuki said after launching a powerful punch straight to her stomach.
“When would this monkey stop at all?” Ichiro said as he passed by TMH’s gymnasium once more.
“You really are worthless huh?” Mr. Kojima said and walked away once more.
“Hahaha, you’re still being harassed huh?” Ichiro said and walked towards Rika. “You’re here again; didn’t you know I got into serious rumor troubles because of you?” Rika said and walked up towards the cushion and sat over it.
“I know, I received the school paper, it was on our mail box this day, you think it was someone who likes me? She might be jealous,” Ichiro said and flashed some playboy smiles as he stand beside the bar.
“As if someone would,” Rika said and tried to do a jump again.
Once more, she landed wrong; she had her back land before her butt.
“That must’ve hurt huh?” Ichiro said and looked at her. “Not really,” She’s still conscious but it’s obvious that she can’t move.
“You need some serious help?” Ichiro asked. “Not at all,” Rika answered and tried to stand up, but failed to do so. “Look, I’m here, so you don’t have to worry a’igh?” Ichiro said and carried her again.
Once more, they’re back to Ms. Jang-nae’s Clinic.
“Alright, so again Mr. Nagisa, Ms. Nakamura, why are you here?” Nurse Jang-nae asked. “I uh, I can’t move, so he brought me here,” Rika said.
“Just one more, Mr. Nagisa why are you here?” Nurse Jang-nae asked. “Next Wednesday, Pair High Jump competition was asked by Tomogasaka High, it was requested to have High Jumper of KMH and TMH to do the high Jump.” Ichiro answered and once more sat beside Rika’s ward.
“Oh, that’s right,” Rika said. “One more,” Nurse Jang-nae asked. “Where did the pictures came from?”
“I don’t know,” both Rika and Ichiro answered. “Well, they say when two people talk at the same time, they’re a couple,” Jang-nae said.
“Wh-wh-where did you base that?!” Rika asked. “From nothing,” Jang-nae said and sticks her tongue out.
“Are you free later? Let’s go out,” Ichiro said while putting his right leg over his left, avoiding Rika’s gaze.
“Yeah I’m free, hey… are you blushing?” Rika said and tried to look at his face.
“I’m not,” Ichiro said and hid is face.
After a while of rest for Rika, she’s finally out with Ichiro.
The sky is dark, a rain or probably a thunder storm would be coming. They didn’t notice it since it’s almost dawn for them, but then much later the rain drops started pouring. Good thing they’ve managed to look for some shelter.
kzzt… bang!
“Geh..” Rika said, it was out of the blue but it was cute. “Huh?” Ichiro said, it was weird.
kzzt… bang!
She unconsciously grabbed one part of his shirt. “Are you scared?” Ichiro asked. “Of Course not! Who is?” Rika said and immediately let go of his shirt. Ichiro just raised an eyebrow on this statement.
kzzt… bang!
She unconsciously walked closer to him. “See? You’re scared,” Ichiro told her and then looked at her face, she’s shivering, he can feel it.
kzzt… bang!
Rika totally froze on her spot. “C’mon, I’ll get you home now, let’s start walking,” Ichiro said and started to walk. “I…I… can’t move,” Rika said and smiled at him.
kzzt… bang!
She immediately sat on her position, her hands covering her ears. “You’re really a pain huh?” Ichiro said and carried her again ‘bridal style’
“Hey put me bang! down…” Rika said, until before she noticed herself, she’s already hugging him. “I can feel your chest,” Ichiro joked.
“I DON’T CARE!” Rika shouted on his ear, as tears drops from her eyes. “I’m so scared of the thunder! Are you happy now?”
He patted her head and said. “Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, the damn thunder won’t hit you,”.
She was shocked, as tears continue to fall from her eyes. She hugged him by the neck and slept tight on his broad shoulders.
POSTSCRIPT: THE STORY IS STILL ON GOING. SO STAY TUNED FOR KAMILLE'S WRITING ADEPTNESS IN THE FUTURE!
