We Love You Imu

'That jerk!' Imu sniffled. Her evening had not gone as planned and she had cried all the way back home to Hebijo academy. She had gone by unnoticed thanks to the cold, dark night. Her cheeks were coated in a stream of tears and shuffled to the front door with just her stockings protecting her from the elements.

 

Her shoes were carried in each hand, hooked by her fingers and her brand new midnight blue dress was dishevelled by her own doing. She opened the door and hoped she would be greeted by her best friend but instead she was met by Ryoubi.

 

'What are you doing home?' Ryoubi snarled 'And what's with the pissy eyes? Did your date dump you?'

 

Imu glared at Ryoubi with a trembled lip and let her rage out 'Shut up flat-chest bitch!' Imu threw her shoes one after the other at Ryoubi and the two barked at each other all the way down the hallway towards the ninja room. Ryouna ran over and Imu thought she would leap to her twin sisters defence but instead begged for abuse to be hurled at her too.

 

Miyabi was waiting in the ninja room and the moment Imu saw her it was as though everyone else ceased to exist. Imu ran into her best friends arms and nestled into Miyabi's warm chest, wetting Miyabi's top with her tears 'Miyabi!' Imu blubbered into Miyabi's breasts 'He stood me up!'

 

Miyabi wrapped an arm around Imu and clutched her tightly her other arm would be resevered to pump up a balled fist 'Unbelievable!' Miyabi roared 'That's no way to treat a cute girl!' The sight of Miyabi being so righteous had every woman in the rooms heart race. Miyabi lead Imu over the couch and sat her friend down 'Don't worry, we'll take care of everything! Anything you want we'll get!'

 

'Oh Miya!' Imu still cried but did so with a smile on her face 'I could use some hugs, my sister by my side and maybe some ice cream.' Imu snorted and wiped her eyes with her wrists.

 

Miyabi raced to offer Imu her handkerchief 'Here, let's get rid of all this so we can see your pretty face.' Miyabi dabbed away Imu's tears 'Ryoubi, take your sister and get Murasaki and the ice cream in the freezer.'

 

'Which flavor, your majesty?' Ryoubi grumbled.

 

'All of them!' Miyabi bellowed 'Tonight we binge on junk food and help our friend!'

 

Ryoubi muttered under her breath and begrudringly followed Miyabi's command. She grabbed Ryouna by a thick tuft of her hair and pulled her along 'Let's go, stupid!'

 

'Hau!' Ryouna moaned 'Immie, you can use me as a punching bag if you want! Get out all that anger! Take it out on me!'

 

'N-no thank you.' Imu gulped on her mucus throat. As the twins left the room Imu tugged Miyabi by her shirt and pulled her in close. She rested her head into Miyabi's broad shoulder and smiled 'What would I do without a friend like you?'

 

Miyabi cradled Imu in her arms and they looked like a happy couple,  'You took care of me, I owe you a lot.' The two locked eyes and were lost in each others gaze. if they weren't interupted at this moment, Imu would have reached out for an intimate kiss but in the doorway, Murasaki silently watched them from afar.

 

'I heard crying and arguing' Murasaki mumbled. She squeezed Bebe-tan to her chest and hid her face behind the bears head 'Is everything okay?'

 

'Murasaki...' Imu smiled and sat up to pat the empty spot on the couch 'Would you come and sit with us? I could really use you right now.'

 

Murasaki shifted her eyes back and forth 'Okay.' She scuffed her feet across the floor and sat right at the very end of the couch. Murasaki huddled against the armrest and maintained a safe distance between herself and everyone else and refused to make eye contact. Imu patted the cushion again to try and coax Murasaki closer to no avail.

 

'There you are.' Ryoubi growled. She and Ryouna had returned, ice cream in hand 'We searched everywhere.' Ryoubi noticed the awkward situation at hand. Imu and Murasaki were incapable of showing emotion to each other let alone talk or hug. 'Oh hell!' Ryoubi snapped 'Saki, why can't you just do something nice for your sister? Sit closer to her!'

 

Murasaki cowered behind Bebe-tan 'S-sorry.' Murasaki turned her gaze to Imu and her sisters warm smile won her over. She slowly hopped her behind over until the two sisters were almost hip-to-hip. Murasaki's eyes nervously darted back and forth, still unable to commit to eye-contact 'Were you crying?' She muttered.

 

'Saki, my date didn't work out.' Imu stuttered 'I really need you by my side.' Imu gave Mursaki puppy eyes until Murasaki relented and put down Bebe long enough to give Imu her attention.

 

'I'll be here.' Murasaki gave Imu a faint smile and turned to weakly hug Imu. Imu was ecstatic and pulled Murasaki in for a stronger hug. Miyabi joined in and now Imu was sandwiched between the two people she loved most. She couldn't be happier.

 

'So?' Ryoubi impatiently asked 'We gonna eat this ice cream or what? My hands are freezing!'

 

'In a minute!' Imu giggled as if she were drunk from hugs 'I kinda want a kiss on the cheek too!' Imu wanted a kiss from Murasaki but instead received a kiss on both cheeks at the same time from Murasaki and Miyabi. Imu grinned like an idiot and forgot all about her disastrous evening.
