I am powered by praise and criticism. So yea, here you go.
Chapter 2 - I Don't Have A Heart
I'm doing my homework in the dining room, patiently waiting for Kozue to finish making dinner. It's the afternoon already, and I can see the orange rays of light shining through my window. Not only that, but I can smell what Kozue is making.
This feels good. I like how it is right now. I remember, this was how it was a long time ago. Back when we were still a family.
-Flashback to when Sena was a little girl-
"Mom, can I eat my Crunchy-kun yet?"
"Sena, we eat dinner before dessert in this house"
"But I've finished all my homework already"
"Then why don't you go study?"
Sena didn't need to study. She'd gotten 100's on all her last tests and had a full understanding of what they were learning in class.
"Well, what are you making today, Mom?"
"Mmfufu, I'm making your favorites, of course"
"Th, thanks, Mom"
"Why are you blushing, honey?"
"I, I don't know!"
After that, Sena ran off.
-End flashback-
Mom...
I can still remember the smell of her cooking. It didn't smell like Kozue's, though. Kozue's cooking smells more like...charcoal. Or like burning food.
"Kozue?!"
I immediately rush into the kitchen, and see a blazing inferno, and a frightened Kozue on the floor. I quickly grab a fire extinguisher and start putting the fire out. Luckily, we were both safe, but the food was ruined.
"What happened, Kozue?"
"Upuuuun~, I'm so sowwyyyy, Sena-shan!"
"It's fine, no one's hurt"
"But the food's ruined, upyuuun~..."
"It's fine, I said. I'll help you this time. I shouldn't have made you do all the work"
"Eh?"
I start dumping the remains of Kozue's cooking into the trash, and begin washing the pans and pots.
"Come on, I'm getting hungry"
"Y, yeppers, Sena-shan!"
------------------------------
We're sitting at the dining table, with our dinner spread out before us. It's nothing special, just what I usually make for myself.
"Woooow, Sena-shaaan, this all looks so good~!"
"Your's looks good too, Kozue"
I point to the one dish Kozue was able to make herself. I had taken over the kitchen, unfortunately.
"Upyuuun~, I wanted to make more for you, Sena-shan..."
I use my chopsticks to pick up a piece of the vegetables Kozue made, and put it in my mouth.
"It's good, Kozue"
Kozue smiles at me.
*Thump*
"Eeeeh~? Why are you bluuushing, Sena-shan?"
"I, I don't know!"
I immediately start picking something else up with my chopsticks and eat it. The whole time we ate, Kozue was smiling at me.
------------------------------
*whistle*
*BANG*
"Woooow, Sena-shan, you have such a greeeeeat view from here!"
"Yeah"
They're shooting fireworks today, though I don't know why. But I guess it was lucky, since now we have something to watch while eating our Crunchy-kuns.
"Hey, Sena-shan, can I sleep on your lap?"
"A, alright"
Kozue makes herself comfortable and flops her head down onto my lap while still looking out the window at the fireworks. I stare out the window as well, my eyes following the spark of light from the ground all the way to sky, where they explode into a billion balls of light. I can't help comparing my life to that. Everything I did, everything I saw, all that searching and walking, it all led up to that one point in my life, and then I exploded, and became a billion tiny little balls of light.
Mana...Mom...Dad. Why aren't we together here right now? Why can't we be watching the fireworks together right now? Why did you all have to go away? What did I do wrong?
I look down and see Kozue's fallen asleep. I feel so alone right now, but I'm so thankful to have Kozue. Kozue's always been there for me. She's not the stablest, I admit, and neither am I, but she's always there, remembering I exist. I think about spending my life with her, and I realize it wouldn't be so bad. But what do I have to give in return? How do I show her that she means the world to me?
I slowly move my hand to her cheek and feel her warm, soft skin under my palm. I slide my thumb to her lips, and faintly feel her breath. But that's as far as I go, and I gently wake her up. She stirs as I lightly nudge her shoulder.
"It's time to go to home, Kozue"
"Upuun, Sena-shan, I have a favor to ask~"
"*Sigh* Yes, you can sleep here tonight"
Kozue immediately smiles and hugs me.
"I already prepared the guest room"
Her smile turns into an "Oh", as I show her the room. After that, I give her a towel she can wash herself with and some clothes she can sleep in, and I retire to my room. Kozue seems like she wanted to sleep with me, but that would be...indecent. I get my towel and go to my bathroom to take a shower. The guest room has it's own shower, so there's no problem. After I'm done, I change into my pajamas and finally go to bed, exhausted.
------------------------------
When I wake up, the first thing I realize is that I'm staring into two orbs of reflecting light. Suddenly, I feel a tender warmth on my lips. I start to freak out and try to throw my attacker off me, when I realize my wrists and ankles are tied to the bedpost. Meanwhile, my attacker's tongue has inserted itself into my mouth, and is currently massaging it's insides. A hand moves behind my head, pulling me forward into the kiss. Then, I realize that my lower half is cold, meaning my pants have been removed. Another hand is groping my breast, using careful, kneading movements to feel it's entirety as well as to pleasure me.
Finally, my assaulter releases me from the kiss, and I immediately recognize her as Kozue.
"K, Kozue?!"
She says nothing as she moves her head down to my chest. She cups my breasts as she presses her tongue onto my nipple, and flicks it up, making me shiver. Then, she puts her warm mouth over it and starts to gently suck. While using her right hand to continue kneading my other breast, she slides her left hand down to my...nether regions. She strokes the lips with her soft, velvety finger, making me shake my head side to side. She presses harder, and inserts it inside, making me moan. This is the first time anyone's touched me like this, and it feels as if pleasurable electricity was running up my back. She continues to pump her finger in and out while working her mouth and other hand on my breasts. I'm moaning uncontrollably now, and my mind's slowly starting to blank out. Just as I feel whiteness beginning to eclipse my mind, I manage to ask,
"K, ahh, Kozue, why are you doing this?!"
"Because this is"
"the delusion"
"you wished for"
And I wake up from my bed, my eyes wide open. My hands are gripping the mattress below me, and I'm sweating all over. I sit up, and find that down there is incredibly wet as well...
'So I dreamt it, huh?'
I get up to change my pants and underwear.
'...Is that really what I want Kozue to do to me?'
When I'm done, I go back to bed and peacefully fall asleep this time.

Meanwhile, a certain blondehead is lying awake, blushing severely from the voice of another certain someone's heart.
