Rivals and Farewells
By Emi Tsuruta

I guess I told you that last spring my boyfriend Ryosuke and his friends Futoshi and Kenta all graduated from university.  Ryosuke agreed to stay here with me in Oceanview for one more year till I graduate, but Futoshi and Kenta decided to head off to Los Angeles to look for work.  They'd been very good friends to us, so I was sorry to see them go, but actually, their senior year, I didn't see them quite as much as I had before.  I guess part of it was my fault too.  I missed the first few weeks of school, because I was away in Japan for my cousin's wedding and stuff, and then I was rushing around trying to catch up on all my schoolwork.

After I got back, I noticed that my best friend Satomi was moping around a lot, and then she finally told me that she hadn't seen Futoshi or Kenta because they were hanging around with these two other girls, Masayo and Mieko, seniors at our college.  The way she said it too, she sounded so sad.  As I've been telling you, I'm pretty sure Satomi has a crush on Futoshi, and I'd been trying to get the two of them together for the longest time.  Then just when I thought things were starting to go well between them, he starts hanging around with these other girls.  I'd seen Masayo and Mieko around at school, but I didn't really know them that well, but then all of a sudden, it was like they were always with Futoshi.

This Masayo/Mieko thing kind of got me a bit worried too, because every once in a while, I'd give Ryosuke a call, and he'd be out.  He tried to make out like he was helping out Futoshi and Kenta because he said, "they're not really good with girls."  This sounded to me a bit like an excuse.  Maybe they haven't had girlfriends, but they're 23 for heaven's sake.  Anyway, I guess I trust Ryosuke basically, but I didn't like him going out with these other girls all the time.  Still, Satomi seemed a whole lot more upset than I was.

Anyway, the winter went by, and Ryosuke and I kept going out more or less as usual whenever we both had time.  Spring came, and the weather was getting nicer again.  Ryosuke told me that they wanted Satomi and me to meet Masayo and Mieko, and go for another barbecue or something.  I didn't really want to go, but at least it would give us a chance to see how far things had gotten between Futoshi and these other girls, and figure out if Satomi would have to give up on him or not.

That day, Ryosuke and Futoshi showed up at my house around five o'clock to pick me up.  I wasn't ready yet, but I didn't want them bothering my host mom Loretta, so I got them to come up to my room while I had a shower.  Before long though, there came a knock at the bathroom door.

"What is it?  I'm not done yet."

"Emi, can I talk to you about tonight?"  It was Ryosuke.  He opened the door, and came right in while I was still showering.

"Kyaa!" I squealed softly, pretending to be embarrassed.  I pulled the shower curtain closed, but Ryosuke just pulled it open again.

"I want to ask you a favor."

"What?" I asked, peering over at the door nervously, wondering where Futoshi was.

"Tonight could you not say too much to Masayo and Mieko about Futoshi and Kenta and stuff?"

"What do you mean?"  I took some liquid soap from the pump, and lathered up my body.  I felt kind of embarrassed doing this while he was watching, but I had to hurry up, and get ready, so we could go.

"I don't know," Ryosuke went on.  "I just don't want them to get the wrong idea.  Do you know what I mean?"

Soon I saw Futoshi appear at the door too, looking over at me standing here naked, my body covered in bubbly lather.  I pretended not to see him, but all of a sudden, he started talking.

"We really don't know them that well, and they seem kind of more conservative than you, so they might be a bit surprised if you told them about some of the stuff we've done."

I glanced back at him, and then tried to pull the shower curtain shut, but Ryosuke wouldn't let go, so I finally turned my back to them.  This wasn't the first time Futoshi had seen me naked, but even so, it was still pretty embarrassing.  I was a bit upset at Ryosuke, but I have to admit I was getting a little excited too.

"Like you guys spying on me right now," I teased.  I bent over, got some shampoo, and rubbed it into my hair.  I glanced back at them.  Ryosuke was just standing there with this goofy grin quite pleased with himself for forcing me to expose myself this way.  Futoshi was shifting uneasily, clearly getting aroused looking at me.

"We're not spying, but yeah that kind of stuff," Futoshi said, finally turning away.  He's always seemed a bit uncomfortable about seeing me nude.  I often wonder if he secretly has a crush on me.

"Or the time Futoshi had to streak through Kenta's quad," I giggled remembering how embarrassed he looked.  I spread my legs, and rubbed some shampoo between them, leaning forward slightly to give them a better look at my bare behind.  I was trying not to let on how excited I was getting, but I guess it must have been obvious.  They just stood there dumbstruck for a moment at my daring, but then Ryosuke asked,

"Anyway, don't tell them any of that kind of stuff."

I quickly rinsed my body off, reached up, and shut off the shower, almost losing my balance.

"Can you pass me my towel?"

Ryosuke handed it to me, and I held it in front of me, turning to face them, and drying off my face.  Futoshi was pretty obviously eyeing my body, but trying not to be too obvious about it.  I quickly dried off, turning away again to keep from showing them my pussy.

"Can you pass me my panties too?"

Ryosuke handed me my t-shirt, but I couldn't see my panties.

"What did you guys do with them?" I asked, suspecting Ryosuke had hidden them somewhere.  He swore he hadn't touched them, so I finally turned my back to them, and pulled on my t-shirt.  It didn't go far enough down to cover my backside.  I felt really embarrassed, but I was getting all excited too.  I finally wrapped the towel around my waist, and got out of the shower, but Ryosuke pulled off my towel as I walked past him.  I fought him for it, but he wouldn't give it back.  I was getting a bit worried that Loretta or Brandon, her son, might come up, and find me gallivanting around in my bare scuddy.  I dashed across to my room, but Ryosuke and Futoshi followed me in, clearly enjoying seeing me naked like this.

I finally got a pair of panties out of my drawer, and pulled them on.  My face must have been bright red by then.  I always blush when I get embarrassed like that.  Ryosuke says it looks cute, but I sometimes wish he'd be a bit more gentlemanly.  I don't mind being naked when it's just him, but showing me off to Futoshi seemed a bit much.  It sometimes made it awkward between us.

Anyway, I finally got dressed, and we headed out.  I started to think about what I was going to say to Mieko and Masayo.  "Leave Ryosuke and Futoshi alone, you she-devils."  No, that wouldn't do.  I didn't want to create a scene, but I had to do something.  I just couldn't figure out what.

Anyway, next we went, and picked up Satomi.  She was dressed quite fashionably for a change.  She had on a tan knee-length skirt - pretty daring for her - and a yellow camisole underneath her jean jacket.  I thought she looked pretty attractive, but Futoshi didn't say much.  I looked at her, and smiled, but she looked worried.  I wasn't about to give up yet though.  I was pretty sure Futoshi liked Satomi too.  He just needed a bit of coaxing I thought.

Futoshi dropped the three of us off at the beach, and then went to go pick up Kenta and these other girls.  I decided to go in for a quick swim while we waited.  It was pretty windy by then, but the water wasn't too bad.  Ryosuke and Satomi didn't want to come in though, so when Futoshi came back with the others, I came out.  Kenta had this big smirk on his face, but Masayo and Mieko were wearing a bit too much make-up I thought.  I guess I was just feeling jealous, but I swear they looked like china dolls or mannequins.  They were dressed for summer, but it looked to me like they were trying to hide how square their bodies were with their clothes on.  They were taller than Satomi and I, but we had the better figures.  I didn't want to let on how I was feeling, so I smiled, and said hi.  There was a tension between us though.  Ryosuke seemed a bit more distant and tense than usual.  It seemed clear that he hadn't even told them that he and I were going out.  I was a bit upset, but I was determined not to let it faze me.

I was still dripping wet from my swim, so I toweled off, and wrapped a colorful pareo around my waist, and pulled on my navy hoodie with a zipper up the front.  I don't like to hang around in my bikini when it's wet, so I ducked into the woods, took it off, and went commando underneath.  They probably wouldn't be able to tell, but I thought it might be kind of exciting.  They were all leaving soon, so I wouldn't get many more chances to do things like this.

We walked down to the beach, and the boys got out the coals, and set up the barbecue, while we unpacked the groceries we'd bought.  Being here reminded me of our last beach barbecue with Debbie.  Ryosuke was pretty bad that time, stealing my bikini bottoms, but all in all, that had been a good day, a happy day in my memories.  I felt so close to Ryosuke back then.  I was pretty sure his feelings hadn't changed, but it was hard not to worry about this whole business with Masayo and Mieko.

We all gathered around the barbecue huddling together to keep out of the breeze blowing in off the water.  My pareo kept fluttering up exposing my bare thighs.  Kenta was trying so hard to be on his best behavior in front of Masayo and Mieko, but he kept glancing over at me, obviously enjoying getting a peek at my legs.  I pulled down the zipper at the front of my hoodie showing off my cleavage.  Satomi eyed me suspiciously wondering what I was up to.  I didn't really have a plan at all.  I was just testing a bit to see if I could get a rise out of Ryosuke and the others.

Ryosuke was deep in conversation with Masayo.  I leaned forward, and got Kenta to give me his long chop sticks, and then started checking to see if the meat was done yet.  I could tell from the feeling of heat on my breasts that the front of my hoodie had fallen open pretty far.  Ryosuke finally looked over, and pretty soon all of them were staring at my bare breasts swinging freely as I leaned forward.  Ryosuke had this weird expression on his face.  He didn't even look happy.  He usually loves it when I show off a bit.  Masayo didn't look pleased either.  It was hard to tell from her sweater, but it looked like her breasts were much smaller than mine.  I finally straightened up, and handed the chopsticks back to Kenta.

"It looks like they're almost ready," I bubbled cheerfully, pretending like I hadn't realized I had been flashing them my breasts.  My little show though had pretty well shut down all the conversation.  Maybe they were all debating whether they should tell me that my breasts were showing or not.

We started serving up the barbecue on paper plates.  Once everyone had some, I pulled Satomi off to the side, and we went, and sat down on a log at the edge of the woods.  She was staring over at Futoshi, a bit misty-eyed.  It was really hard to tell who Futoshi liked.  It looked like none of them had formed couples yet.

Ryosuke came over, and sat near me, and then the rest of them came over too.  Ryosuke was still acting much cooler than usual, but he seemed more willing now to let on that the two of us were a couple.

I relaxed, and stretched my legs way out.  My pareo fell open at the side exposing my leg almost all the way up to my waist.  I felt a bit naughty because it must have been obvious I didn't have any bottoms on underneath.  Ryosuke and Kenta kept peering over at my leg, but I didn't bother fixing my pareo.  I was beginning to feel a lot better now that Ryosuke was paying attention to me again.  Kenta couldn't contain his curiosity, and finally asked me,

"That's quite a nice pareo you're wearing.  Where did you get it?"

"I bought it in Japan last time I was home."  I stood up, and did a pirouette to show them.  It fluttered up in the breeze exposing quite a bit of my thighs.  I wondered if any of them had gotten a peek at my pussy.  The opening wasn't that far off from my pubic hair.  I was beginning to get a little bit excited with them all looking at me now.  "How do you like it?"

Futoshi and Kenta gushed,

"Looks great!"

"Gorgeous!"

Ryosuke didn't say anything, but I could tell from the look in his eye that he was starting to lust after me too.  Masayo and Mieko looked kind of irritated.  They didn't seem too keen on competing to see who was sexier.

"What do you think of Satomi's new outfit?" I asked pointing to her.  She blinked, her eyes looking distinctly kitten-like, and Futoshi kept looking at her for a long time.  I guess he hadn't seen her for so long he'd almost forgotten how good-looking she is.

In the end, not much happened that night.  We sat around chatting for a long time, and the conversation soon drifted towards things the five of us had done together before Masayo and Mieko appeared on the scene.  They just listened attentively, but I felt somehow that Satomi and I had won.  Futoshi and Kenta may be leaving, but they would remember us more than their new playmates here.

The rest of the term just raced by, and before I knew it, it was almost time for Kenta and Futoshi to leave.  They went down to Los Angeles to find a place to stay, and then came back, and rented a mini-van to start moving.  They offered to come by my place, and give me some stuff they didn't want anymore.  It was so hard to believe they were leaving.  I was going to miss them.

That morning, my host family headed out for the day, so I invited Ryosuke over.  Right from when I woke up, I was kind of in a funny mood.  It was a beautiful summer day, so I opened up my windows, and looked out over the backyard.  I couldn't understand why Futoshi and Kenta wanted to leave this place.  It was so peaceful and beautiful.  These last few weeks, they seemed all excited about moving to L. A.  They talked about all the things they were going to do once they got there.  I felt kind of sad hearing them go on like that though.  It was like they were just going to leave us behind, and move on to the big city.

Anyway, I had a shower, and came back to my room.  I pulled on some panties, and dug out a new beige pleated flirt skirt I've been dying to try.  It's kind of too short to wear to go out, but I just wanted to show it to Ryosuke before the others got here.  At the front, it's long enough to cover everything, but at the back, it kind of tilts up on an angle, so you can see the seat of my underwear peeking out from under the hem.  I pulled on this skirt and a cream-colored tank top (no bra), and went down, and had some breakfast.  Ryosuke showed up before too long.  As I expected, he got a real kick out of my skirt.

"Hey, where'd you get that?  That's great!"

"In Shibuya."  I led him into the kitchen, and motioned for him to sit down while I got him something to drink.

"Here.  Come over here.  Let me take a closer look."  I swear he was grinning from ear to ear.  I was so glad he liked it.  I walked over to where he was sitting, and he reached over, and patted me on the bottom.

"They're perfect.  You look sensational."  Before I knew it, he reached up inside my skirt, and grabbed the waistband of my panties, yanking them down until they were hanging mid-thigh.

"Hey!  What are you doing?"  I kind of knew he might do something like that, but I was kind of worried that Kenta and Futoshi might show up.

"Here.  Just hold still."  All of a sudden, he slid his fingers between my legs, and started playing with me!

"Kyaa!"

His fingers were so cold.  I tried to break away, but he grabbed my tummy with his other arm, and held me there.

"Oh, look, Emi.  You're getting all wet."

"I am not."

"You are too."  He held up his middle finger to show me.  I guess I was getting a little excited.  "Here, bend over."

I looked back at him a bit worried.  I leaned over, and gave him a kiss, and then did as he asked, reaching down and resting my hands on my knees.  I felt so naughty standing there like that bent over in the kitchen.  He reached inside my top, and gave my breasts a gentle squeeze, getting me even more excited.  Then he pulled my skirt way up, and gently ran his fingers along the curve of my behind.  Before I could stop him, he pulled my pussy lips apart, and started licking me with his tongue.

"Kyaa!" I squealed again.  It felt so embarrassed, but I was getting really aroused.  His tongue felt so good my knees almost buckled under me.  He pulled my panties down, and motioned for me to step out of them.  Once we got them off, I spread my legs, and he started probing around ever so gently for my hello kitty.  Soon, he found just the right spot.  I was in heaven.  He's getting really good with his hands.

Unfortunately, before I could orgasm, we heard a car's engine pull up outside.  Oh no!  They're here already.  I straightened back up, and fluffed my skirt back down.  Ryosuke ran over to the sink to wash off his face.  I tore off a paper towel, wet it, and wiped my own juices off the insides of my thighs.  I was still breathing heavily, deeply aroused, and my hello kitty was too sensitive to touch.  I've got to calm back down here.

We heard car doors slam, and then a knock at the front door.  Ryosuke went out to let them in, while I looked around for my panties.  Ryosuke must have taken them with him because I couldn't see them anywhere.  Oh no, not again.  I started to panic.  Now what am I going to do?  I cautiously went out into the living room, but I was acutely aware of the cool morning air on my still wet pussy.

"Morning, Emi.  How're you doing?" Kenta grinned.  I nodded shyly wondering if I could just nip past them, and run upstairs to get some fresh panties.  I slowly moved forward, brushing down my skirt at the back.  There wasn't much hope of hiding my bottom though.  The whole point of the skirt was to show it off.

"Do you guys want something to drink?" Ryosuke asked.  I shot him a look, but he was just grinning, enjoying embarrassing me.  I'd obviously had to get them the drinks because this was my house.  I backed up into the kitchen, and Ryosuke followed me in.  I glared at him.

"Where are my panties?" I whispered.

"I don't know.  Where did you leave them?"

He obviously wasn't going to give them back.  I gave him my best peeved look, but he just sat down at the kitchen table, and turned to watch me, obviously enjoying the chance to ogle my bare behind.  He's horrible this way sometimes.  It was hard to stay mad at him though.  It was kind of thrilling walking around like this with Futoshi and Kenta there.  I peeked out the kitchen door, leaning forward to give Ryosuke a peek at my bare bottom.

"What do you guys want to drink?  Barley tea?  I have some made."

"That'd be fine."

I glanced back at Ryosuke, but he was still just grinning away.  He obviously loved tormenting me this way.  I reached up, and got some glasses from the cupboard, spreading my legs a bit, and getting a bit of a buzz from flashing him.  I opened the fridge, and bent way over, giving him a nice long look at my still wet pussy.  I was getting so excited by then.

I brought the drinks out, and gave them to Futoshi and Kenta.  I didn't want them looking at me, so I went around behind the couch they were sitting on, and stood there.  Ryosuke brushed past me, and stood near the foot of the stairs, still watching me to see what I would do.

"What all did you guys bring?" he asked.

"There's a low table, a lamp and some bookshelves," Kenta explained.  I leaned forward resting my tummy and hands on the back of the couch.  I knew I shouldn't be doing this, but I was getting so turned on, exposing my bare bottom to Ryosuke without Kenta and Futoshi knowing.  I leaned way forward, and spread my legs a bit.  I was still excited from earlier, and now this.  I could already feel an orgasm coming on.

"Anyway, let's go outside, and take a look," Ryosuke urged.  I shot him a look.  Surely he didn't expect me to go outside dressed like this.  Kenta and Futoshi got up, and went to the door, but I just stood there.  I couldn't very well run upstairs with the three of them watching.

"You guys go ahead.  I'll be there in a sec," I said hoping to go get some panties.

"No, no, c'mon Emi.  Let's just go see.  You can get whatever later."  Ryosuke took me by the hand, and led me towards the door.  I started panicking as I realized he intended me to go outside like this.  I really didn't want to go, but he wouldn't let go of my hand.  I finally bent over, and pulled on my sandals, while Ryosuke peeked around behind me checking out my rear.  I sure hope Futoshi and Kenta haven't noticed.  Maybe I can just dash right out, and then find some excuse to come back in, and get dressed.  Before I knew it, I was outside squinting in the bright sun.  I held down my skirt as best I could, as Ryosuke dragged me along.  I cautiously stepped out the front door looking this way and that just to make sure none of my neighbors were around.

Luckily, no one seemed to be out at this time of the morning, but I swear I was almost having a heart attack.  What if someone sees me?  I would never be able to live it down.  I bounced down the steps, and scurried over to the van, getting so excited at walking around outside with my bare bottom on display.  Ryosuke led me around to the back of the van which was open and facing the street.  I couldn't believe I was standing right by the sidewalk dressed like this.  It was so humiliating but thrilling too.

Futoshi and Kenta climbed up into the back of the van, and explained what each thing was.  I was standing there with my back to the street with Ryosuke right behind me.  I kept peeking over my shoulder to see if anyone was watching.  I brushed my skirt down at the back, but I swear it was floating more than halfway up my bare bottom.  Everything did seem pretty quiet, so I began to feel a little more daring.  I leaned forward into the van, putting my hands on the floor asking about different things.  I couldn't feel my skirt, but I could definitely feel the breeze licking at my pussy lips.  I looked back at Ryosuke, and he was grinning like anything.

I was so excited.  With Futoshi and Kenta right there in front of me, I spread my legs way apart and bent way forward to give Ryosuke a good look at how wet I was getting.  If Futoshi and Kenta hadn't been there, I don't know what we might have done.

Suddenly, I heard a screen door slam just behind us.  I straightened back up like a shot, brushed my skirt back down, and turned to see what it was.  One of my neighbors from across the street had come out of his house, and was headed straight this way!  Oh no!  He must have seen me waving my bare bottom in the air!  Now what do I do?

"Hi, do you guys need any help?" he asked with this big grin.  I was too embarrassed to say anything, but Futoshi got down out of the van.

"Uh, I think we're OK.  We're just dropping off a few things, whatever Emi here wants."

He looked down at me, curious.

"You've been living here a while, haven't you?  I've seen you around a lot."

I squinted, wondering exactly what he had seen.  Sometimes Ryosuke and I have done other dangerous things just in front of my house here.  I always thought no one had found us out, but the way he was smiling made me not so sure anymore.  I suddenly thought of a good excuse.

"Oh, I forgot.  I think I might have left the kettle on."  I backed away from them, looking down for the porch stairs.  I couldn't turn around, or they would see my bare bottom.

"Uh, wait, Emi.  Do you want all this food?  There's some instant ramen and some snacks."

"Uh, yeah, sure."

"What about this little coffee table?  You could put in your room."

"Uh, OK.  If you don't want it."  Holding my skirt down as best I could, I turned, and walked up the front steps.  Futoshi was right behind me though, and my neighbor was looking over intently at my rear.  Oh shoot.  I hope they haven't figured out that I'm pantiless.

When we got inside, I wanted to go upstairs, and change, but Futoshi was standing right there with the table obviously intending to follow.

"Uh, Futoshi, you go first."

"No, I insist, after you.  Ladies first."

Kenta came in with the food, and Ryosuke was carrying the desk lamp.

"Where should I put this?  In the kitchen?" Kenta asked.

"Yeah, OK."

Ryosuke just stood there smirking like anything.  I swear he loves to see me in torment like this.

"Why don't you just go ahead, and show him?  It's no big deal," Ryosuke said.

"Show me what?" Futoshi asked.  Kenta came back from the kitchen, and the three of them stood there looking at me.

"Emi is such a little hot potato she can't seem to keep her panties on," Ryosuke blurted out.

"You stole them from me," I yelled hitting him.  He reached down, grabbed the hem of my skirt, and lifted it up showing them my pussy.  I fought to push my skirt back down, but he wouldn't let go.  Futoshi and Kenta were looking on in shock.  I felt so humiliated and angry and excited all rolled into one.  Can you imagine me standing there with the three of them looking down at my pussy?  I could hardly believe this all was happening.  Even worse, Ryosuke was trying to make it look like it was my idea.

"Let go!  Let go!" I screamed.

"Only if you promise to be a good girl."

"Damn!" Kenta cried out.  Ryosuke loosened his grip, and finally let go.  Kenta had turned away, and was clutching his nose.

"What's wrong?"

"Oh, he's just got a nosebleed again," Futoshi scoffed.  "The same thing happened that day he was supposed to leave for Japan, remember?"

"Here, I'll get you some paper towels."  I ran to the kitchen, and brought some back.  I was so shocked because he was really bleeding.  I hit Ryosuke.

"See what you did."

He brushed the back of his head, and looked at me apologetically.

"Sorry.  That body of yours is dynamite.  You'd better watch who you show it to."

I just glared at him, furious.  Suddenly, he looked down at me suspiciously.

"Why did Kenta get a nosebleed the day he left for Japan?"

I started blushing.  Kenta had let Ryosuke and I use his place while he was gone.  I went there, picked up the key, and then Futoshi drove Kenta to the airport.  I ended up sunbathing nude on Kenta's balcony, but suddenly they came back, and found me.  I'd been too embarrassed to tell Ryosuke.

"Didn't Emi tell you?" Futoshi asked.

"No," Ryosuke said.  He looked down at me.

"No comment," I said, running up the stairs to get changed.  I glanced back, and Ryosuke and Futoshi were staring up my skirt.  "Oh, you guys are horrible."

As usual, there's more I want to tell you, but I'd better stop here for now.  I'll write again soon.  Till then, take care,
