Akira's story

- That's your habit, huh
Hiiragi Akira raised her eyes from the tablet that was in her hand to the one who said it. Ritter was standing in the chairman room in front of heavy desk dividing it in half. Akira looked at her face with a questioning gaze. Ritter twirled her index finger a bit lower than earlobe.
-When you think about something you’re doing this
-I see…
With the face that she just realized when got told about it, Akira looked at the free hand. A chilly, unpleasant feeling crawled on her back.
It’s ok, just a trivial mistake. A mistake this trifling that if you don’t make a face as if you did a mistake it won’t become one.
-This is about training program for new deportees
-Y-yes
Ritter who made a report corrected her posture in a hurry. No matter how you gloss it over, the fact that you tried to do it, what happened now, would stay in that girl’s memory. Then, the best is to act as if nothing happened. After giving several directions, Akira said with gratitude smile
-Thank you for your hard work.
-Yes!
The cheeks of Ritter were slightly flushing. Akira saw her off while still sitting and then breathed a sigh of relief. Akira realized that with how things are now the worthless truth got painted over by the joyful memory that Gouverneur praised her. It’s good that it wasn’t Kasumi who took notice of it. She has an experience of cutting her long hair short. She could have seen through the remains of gesture of playing with hair as finger twine around hair which were there but now are gone.
Even if to say that Akira grew her hair long at some point in time won’t lead to the suspicion that she could be a woman immediately. However, there’s a saying a little leak will sink a great ship. She has to strictly refrain from behavior that would bring even a slight doubt. Because Akira established the position of leader by playing the role of the only male on the island.
Stiff…
She muttered in her mind and put a hand to chest. Mentally and physically. There was no need to conceal her breasts in a special corset before she was sent to Mermaid. There were times she wore a dress with a big decollete at parties but it wasn’t out of her will. And there were times on the bed when she allowed her loved one’s hand…
The unforgettable memory she wanted to forget. It recalled sweet and keen twinge. Akira gripped tightly her hand that was on chest.

-----------------------------------------------------------//----------------------------------------------------------------

The hand of Sakaki Haruka was brimming with curiosity. She wanted to know what kind of reaction Akira would make when she touches her there. She crawls her smooth skin gently, skillfully and at times boldly to the degree of rudeness.
-Ah…not there…that’s….nn……
Akira was breathing hard while writhing on the bed. Even though Haruka was a mere classmate half a year ago to think that Akira’d allow her to do these things.
This is a room of the dormitory that belongs to the academy. Akira goes to academy from home. Haruka lives in a dormitory. It became a daily routine for Akira to go to Haruka’s room after school and enjoy their rendezvous. At first they just chatted while drinking tea. But before they knew it they started kissing, making out and fell in love.
Haruka liked Akira’s hair. She twirled them with her white slender finger that Akira liked so much. Haruka enjoyed how it slipped through hair, buried her face in them and even enjoyed their smell.
One time, Akira asked if she likes long hair so much why doesn’t she just let her hair grow. However, Haruka casted off this question with a cold
-No good. It won’t suit me.
Is it really? She cut her hair short but if she’d grew them at least to the shoulder length wouldn’t it smooth her, a bit too sharp for a girl, outline of face.
Akira thought about something like this when Haruka’s lips got to her ear so close that she could feel her breath.
-And it’s not like I love long hair. I love your hair.
When she said it even Akira’s ears become red. What is happening with her ears now? She got licked by Haruka’s tongue that crawled up to the nape and then she lightly bited her earlobe which become red with bashfulness and arousal.
Before Akira even realized it the only thing she still wore was shame and Haruka’s slender body got on top of hers. Haruka’s naked body is tall and slim without any girl-like plumpness. At first glance the white porcelain tint of her skin makes image of a cold touch, but in truth, Akira knows with her own skin how it’s burning with heat.
-Ah…
Akira felt how Haruka’s hardening nipples dig into her chest and reflexively let her voice leak. As if to prevent it, Haruka’s alluring lips shut her slightly opened mouth.
-N…….nn….!
While Haruka’s wings hair and smooth skin felt slightly oiled, only her forced in tongue felt sticky. For a moment Akira seemed puzzled but she quickly, as if to attack, entangled the intruder. Tongues are rubbing together and saliva is mixing. The burning sensation of the whole body is as if it melts glued skin. Overlapped bodies overlapped hearts melt and become one.
There was light. A glowing light that had the intensity of burning everything and the kindness of melting together everything. It engulfed them at the same time as they reached ecstasy.
What? What is this?
Akira felt in a dazzling climax how she is wrapped in something. And besides that, an overflowing power which came from the inside of her body that she never felt before.
When the dazzling light turned off, as if an exchange for that, Haruka disappeared.
What…what in the world just happened?
Even if Akira didn’t see Haruka anywhere she felt her closer than ever. Akira got up from bed still dumbfounded. She realized that her body was in white armor and gasped.
-!
It covered all the body and was white, smooth and had the hardness of brilliant. Just like Haruka’s skin. It can’t be….!
Right. This is…this is without a doubt…
-Aaa!
As the only possible answer showed up in her mind, at the same time Akira got sent flying by a powerful energy. She got thrown down on the floor with an immodest appearance and stopped breathing for a moment. There already wasn’t white armor that wrapped her body. Instead, there laid Haruka’s sweaty naked body. They looked at each other still lying down. Their breathing was the only sound that could be heard for a while. The first one to spoke was Haruka.
-Isn’t it…
The voice was interrupted by the fear that if put into words it will become an unmistakable truth. However, even without saying in it the two of them had only one word that comes to mind, the ominous one.
A-virus.
No doubt about it. That thing just now was a phenomenon of becoming an Arm - a symptom of A-virus. In this case, Akira is a Liberator, who made Haruka, an Extar, become an Arm. It is not known what power has white armor. But they didn’t care about it. What important is that if the next time they undergo medical check-up for updating their personal number…then…and it’s right after January…the reaction for A-virus will be positive for sure.
Akira and Haruka looked at each other without saying a word. As the sweat on skin dried up, they felt how the heart of body started to cool down immediately.


A week later and Akira hasn’t made out with Haruka since that time. Akira behaved the same as always in the classroom but she wasn’t invited to the dormitory room. As if they could make what happened at that time like it didn’t happen, by doing this.
It is obligated to report on all cases of A-virus outbreak to the nearest center. But neither Akira nor Haruka even consider it.
If you got founded to be carrier of A-virus you’d be sent to the isolated facility, artificial island Mermaid, without asking. And for now, there is no one who returned from there.


-Let’s run away together
Haruka said it at the school roof after all periods ended
Come to the roof after school.
As they passed each other Haruka whispered it. When Akira came sunset painted the sky in madder red and there were no one other than Haruka.
Seems like Haruka has already made her decision several days ago. She put the bare minimum of luggage into station’s locker and prepared a bit of cash for escape.
-If only you decide…
We can depart immediately. If you want to take something with you we can return home for now, get dressed and meet up at the station. Said Haruka. Akira expected it even if vaguely. Run away with Haruka. But how far?
-I don’t know. As far as we can.
-That’s absurd. We’ll get caught.
There were cases when carriers of A-virus tried to escape. However, all of these attempts failed, at least according to reports.
-Maybe you’re right…
Hollow shadow showed up in Haruka’s eyes. But as if to shake it off she raised her voice.
-But it’s still better than doing nothing!
-Sure, it can be like that…but what will happen to mine and your family?
Haruka was at loss for words and bited her lips.
Even now A-virus is a world’s problem. If you conceal carrier even if it’s a family they’d get a strict punishment. If the two of them disappeared right before medical check-up, someone might think that the possibility of the reason for that being fear of exposure as A-virus carriers is high. And no matter how much family that has been left deny it, they‘d become suspected of helping in escape. Especially Hiiragi family that have a lot of companies affiliated with. It can be even said that it has zaibatsu status. It’d become a big scandal without a doubt.
There were some harsh things but Akira’s parents cherished her with great care until now. She appreciated the benefits that her parents and other people built up for her to know the world and live in more prosperity than those of the same age.
Right now, escape with Haruka would take a parting shot at everything. She can’t do it.
That was Akira’s firm resolve.
-So, what would you do? Would you quietly get sent to the island?
-I…
Haruka’s desperate gaze made Akira say thing she never thought before.
-I’ll fight.
-How?
-I don’t know… I don’t know but I’ll fight.
-Akira…
Haruka became speechless.  Akira thought that it’s understandable.
Even if you say fight what means are there. There is no concrete thought. There was just a serious firm and unshakable desire to fight without running away from destiny. She probably didn’t understand. But Haruka sensed that Akira’s feeling already become solidified by directly staring in her eyes. Haruka said with really sad eyes:
-Your decision won’t change, right
Akira slightly nodded.
-It’s a goodbye, then.
This time Akira didn’t nod.
Haruka’s lips got closer to Akira’s stiff face and tried to kiss her for the last time. Akira’s hand stopped her. Haruka made a hurt face. Her heart was probably hurt even more.
The most Akira could do is to held back the feeling that torn apart her chest and make a smile. And as if it can be done tomorrow she said holding down her voice:
-We’ll kiss next time when we meet again.
Haruka’s eyes suddenly calmed down. They became really sad.
-You’re strong, Akira.
These were the last words of Haruka. She turned her back to Akira and left.

----------------------------------------------------------//-----------------------------------------------------------------

No, wrong. Not last.
Akira was indulged in her thoughts in the chairman room. Akira, Gouverneur Hiiragi Akira, softly caressed her lips with finger. She believed that one time Sakaki Haruka’s lips would meet with hers again…
