Maya Snaps by Ammadeau

Chapter 1

A quiet night settled gently upon Tokyo-3 after a typically busy day. No Angel attacks, whether finished or in progress, and the damage from the last one was already little more than a memory.

In the Geo-Front, most of the high ranking personnel had already gone home a few hours ago. Maya had been one of the last of those to leave, once again staying much later than her job required. However, she just couldn't leave until the experiment was complete, especially when her sempai was counting on her.

Both Ritsuko and Maya breathed a sigh of relief once the experiment was finally complete.

"With these new findings, we should be able to raise the synchronization of the EVA Units up a few points. It's not much, but every little bit helps I suppose," Ritsuko said as she took a sip from her coffee and checked over the final results.

Maya smiled in the dim light. Her sempai could be so humble sometimes. Maintaining and improving the EVAs was essential to the future of all humankind, but Ritsuko passed it off as another day at the office. She still regularly pulled all-nighters like this, using up all of her free time to get the EVAs into the best possible shape. Maya admired her dedication.

The two of them were all alone in the darkened lab. The experiment was mainly automated and what needed to be done could be handled easily by the two of them, so Ritsuko had already sent all the other techs home. She had tried to convince Maya to leave as well, but the younger woman had explained that she wanted to see the results of this experiment as badly as the doctor did, and Ritsuko had reluctantly let her stay. Maya was happy that her sempai was so concerned for her welfare, but she much rather be with her than have her concern.

Things were almost intimate in the darkened lab, sitting close together, their voices just above whispers. Maya shivered when her sempai's hair accidentally brushed against her face, her scent a light perfume that reminded the younger girl of sakura petals in springtime. Maya wanted to... well, she wanted to do a lot of things, but she was afraid how her sempai would react. She didn't think she could take a rejection, no matter how nice it would be given.

"You can go now, Maya. I can clean everything up here myself," Ritsuko said as she stood and began to gather up the various reports that lay scattered before her.

Maya tried and failed to think of an excuse that would let her stay for just a few minutes more. Instead, she nodded a bit sadly. "Hai, sempai." As she exited the subway, Maya remembered Ritsuko waving vaguely as she had left, not even looking up. One of the reasons she liked her sempai so much was her absolute focus on her work, but Maya felt just a little sad that she hadn't glanced at her, just a simple acknowledgment to warm her on this cold night.

Maya was so preoccupied with thoughts of her mentor that she only realized that she had forgotten her coat when her teeth started to chatter. She stared down the street to where her apartment building stood, a place of warmth and rest. She could brave a little cold to make it there, but the coat she had foolishly forgotten was her most prized possession, her first gift from a special friend.

Besides, she had an excuse to spend a little more time with her sempai now. She knew that Ritsuko would still be at the Geo- Front, sometimes Maya found her fast asleep on one of the lab tables, her clothes all rumpled, when she came in for work in the morning. They could discuss their findings, and hopefully other things, over coffee until the sun came up.

It was a bit eerie moving though the brightly lit, but completely deserted halls of the Geofront, the only signs of life being the occasional security officer that passed her by. It reminded her of... Maya shook her head. She knew better than to dwell on that anymore, it was all in her past.

She had left her coat in the lab where they had just been working. She could even see it in her mind's eye, resting on the back of a chair pushed out of the way. She had put it there so she could just grab it and leave when the tests were over, and not have to navigate her way back to their office. Something she had to do now anyway because of her forgetfulness, her mind addled with thoughts of her sempai.

Maya felt a small chill creep up her back as she inched her way along the long, empty corridors. She couldn't shake the feeling of... foreboding. She hadn't seen a security guard for some time now and she of all people knew that Geofront security wasn't as tight as they would like people to believe...

The sudden sound of a low moan caused her to jump. What was that? A ghost? Maya normally didn't believe in spirits, but after the things she had seen since joining NERV, the supernatural wasn't as unlikely anymore. It seemed to be coming from the lab. It had sounded a bit like her sempai. She could be hurt and in the need of help.

Maya hurried to the door as the moans grew in volume, quicker now, and seemed to echo with a sort of grunting like someone making a great effort. Feeling a little scared by what she was hearing, Maya knelt down by the door and opened it just a crack so she could peer inside.

Maya was too shocked by what she saw to even make a sound. Ritsuko was lying mostly naked on the end of one of the lab tables, her skirt a black pool of cloth on the floor while her shirt had been pulled up to reveal her full breasts. Her head was arched to face the ceiling, her eyes firmly shut, mouth open with her cries and gasps for air as her body writhed and shuddered.

The reason for this was Commander Ikari -- who looked much the same as he always had, the same neutral expression and his eyes hidden behind dark glasses. One of his gloved hands had Rituko's arms pinned above her head, while the other roughly kneaded her breasts. He had the same black uniform, though his pants were now down around his ankles, exposing more of him than Maya had ever wanted to see. His expression occasionally flickered with his grunts as he mechanically thrust into Ritsuko over and over again. It was a small mercy to Maya that this actual connection was hidden to her by Ritsuko's long and slender legs.

After a few minutes of watching them, some sense returned to Maya. How could the Commander do such a thing? She knew that he treated his own son like garbage and would probably do anything to stop the Angels, but she had at least thought he had remained devoted to his departed wife.

And how could Ritsuko submit to his touch like that? She had always thought her sempai to be a strong woman, but to allow this...

That was when Maya saw clearly what they were using as a blanket. Her coat. The coat a very special friend had given to her after the personal hell she had been put through. Seeing the Commander ejaculating all over her fondest possession, something snapped deep inside of Maya, and she walked away from the scene without a word, her face slack, a plan starting to form in the depths of her mind.

"Is something wrong, Maya?" Ritsuko asked. Her assistant had acting a bit oddly the past couple of days, but nothing she could really put her finger on. On the surface Maya seemed as cheerful and dutiful as ever, but there was occasionally this look in her eyes that made Ritsuko feel uncomfortable. It was almost as if her assistant was angry with her over something.

"What do you mean, sempai?" Maya replied, her eyes wide and innocent.

"No, it's nothing." Ritsuko shook her head. Overwork must be making her see things, but at least she had something to look forward to tonight after all her hard work. Her reward, she supposed. That's probably what he thought of it as.

"Here's a cup of coffee before I go," Maya told her all smiles. "I just made a fresh pot because I know how much you hate old coffee, sempai."

Ritsuko took the cup gratefully. She might have been less that grateful if she had seen the liquid that Maya had added to it just before giving to her, or Maya's smirk as Ritsuko took her first sip. She didn't have much time to think though as she was out cold in seconds.

Maya continued to grin as she quickly changed into a nurse's uniform and loaded the limp Ritsuko onto a gurney which she had hidden in their lab when she had arrived extra early that day. Both had been easy to steal from their medical wing with her security clearance.

Covering Ritsuko with a sheet and keeping her own head down, no one even paid Maya a second glance as she wheeled her down to the car she had rented for just this purpose. Gently lying Ritsuko down on the back seat, and securing her with seat belts to avoid injury, Maya made her way back to her apartment where everything was already set for the night's festivities.

Chapter 2

Maya's mother had remarried just as Maya had graduated middle school, and so mostly on the insistence of her new step- father, Maya was sent to a boarding school far away from home.

It was an all-girl's school, but Maya with a boyish haircut and not being particularly well-endowed, was frequently accused of being a boy. A lot of her fellow students teased her about it, but it was this one group of upperclasswomen, mostly composed of rich and snobbish girls, that were particularly harsh about it. They never missed a chance to threaten or push her down, mocking her with their harsh tones and superior expressions.

Then suddenly they started treating Maya nicely, apologizing for their past crimes against her, but there was something about their words and smiles that seemed less than authentic to the younger girl. Still, having no friends, she couldn't refuse when they invited her over to a big sleep over to make everything up to her.

Maya awoke the next morning in an empty lot, shivering from the cold ground against her nakedness, but at least that numbed her to some of the pain of all the bruises that covered her body, especially in sensitive areas. As she began to remember the horrible humiliation she suffered last night, she started to cry.

"Don't cry," said a voice next to her, kind yet stern at the same time. Maya blinked away her tears as she looked up into the blue eyes of one of her upperclasswomen. She had noticed her before, partly because of the way her blonde hair stood out in a crowd, but also that she was one of the few girls who hadn't teased her.

The girl offered her hand, helping Maya to stand. Maya wrapped her other hand around her own waist in an effort to stop her shaking from the cold. Seeing this, the girl took off her own heavy coat and put it on Maya. "Here, take it."

"No, I couldn't possibly," Maya tried to give the coat back, but it was hard for her to do when she could barely stand. "You'll be cold."

The girl smiled and shook her head, gently but forcefully putting the jacket on Maya, slipping her arms in the sleeves and tying it tight around her waist. She stepped back from Maya and smiled as if she were dressing up a doll.

Without her support gone, Maya felt her legs give out and would have nearly tumbled to the ground if the other girl hadn't caught her in her arms.

"Are you all right?" the girl asked with concern in her eyes. Maya nodded slowly. "I'm fine... sempai."

The other girl smiled. "I'm glad. My name is Narumi. What's yours?" "Maya. Pleased to meet you."

"Maya," Narumi practically purred. "What a beautiful name."

With a gentle breeze blowing through her short blonde hair, the other girl leaned over and firmly kissed Maya on the lips.

Chapter 3

Ritsuko awoke from what felt like a long nap. Had she fallen asleep at work again? Her head was swimming so she was have trouble thinking clearly. She tried to sit up, but found that she couldn't. Her ankles and wrists were bound with some smooth material like silk. She struggled to break her bonds, but was too weak from whatever had happened to her, and finally gave up as useless.

All of her struggling had made it clear to even her still groggy mind that she was completely naked, lying on sheets made from the same material as her bonds. Was this another one of Gendo's little games? Domination was his style, but he had never bothered with the kinky stuff before. Too much trouble for him.

Ritsuko slowly opened her eyes. At first she couldn't make out much of the dimly lit room she found herself in, but then her eyes adjusted. It was a small, but neatly kept bedroom with only one window to her right, her single source of light, though the shade was drawn. A closet and desk were the only other furniture beside the bed. Pictures hung on the wall, but it was too dark to make any of them out. It all looked vaguely familiar.

That was when the door to the room slowly opened. Even in the dim light, Ritsuko had no trouble recognizing her assistant. Maya was dressed in a bathrobe and held her hands behind her back. There was a slight smile on her face, as if they were just beginning another day of work. She closed the door softly behind her.

"What the hell is going on here, Maya?" Ritsuko demanded in the sternest tone she could manage at the moment. Not easy to do with the embarrassing predicament she had found herself in.

Maya continued to smile as she set a box down on the desk and then sat on the side of the bed next to Ritsuko. The doctor shivered and tried to pull away as Maya started to run her fingers through the older woman's blonde hair.

"You're ill, sempai," Maya told her softly, not seeming to notice Ritsuko's futile struggles. "And I care too much about you to let you continue like this, so I'm going to help you get better." "What are you talking about?!" Ritsuko shouted, feeling a tinge of fear enter her voice. It was starting to look like her assistant had gone insane.

Maya giggled a bit, as if Ritsuko had just said something amusing. "Poor sempai, you've been sick for so long now that you don't even realize it. You're a strong, independent woman, but you just let those filthy men just have your way with you. How can you stand even the touch of the Commander? He treats you lower than a dog. Do you really enjoy being his bitch? Does he make you bark for him?"

Ritsuko's face contorted in rage. "Shut the fuck up, Maya!" Maya immediately slapped her hard across the face. As Ritsuko stared back in shock, Maya waved her finger in front of her face as if scolding a naughty child. "Now is that any way to talk to your dedicated assistant? After all, I'm here to help you."

Ritsuko started to panic. Obviously, she hadn't known Maya as well as she had thought. Catching herself and Gendo in the act must have loosened her assistant's already tentative grip on sanity. "What are you going to do to me?"

"I'm going to teach you how worthless men are," Maya said as she lightly dragged her finger down Ritsuko's now bruised cheek. "And how much better pleasure between two women can be." Maya stood again and undid the sash around her waist, letting the bathrobe fall from her shoulders to reveal that she was completely nude underneath. "I'm not a goddamn lesbian, Maya! Don't you dare touch me!"

Maya shook her head sadly. "That's just the illness talking. Don't worry, you'll learn to like it. Just like I did."

Chapter 4

The blonde upperclasswoman had brought Maya to her small apartment just off of the campus. Maya couldn't help noticing, even in her bruised and battered condition, how neat and clean everything was. A far cry from her own room.

Her sempai carefully removed the coat, a little too carefully for Maya since her hands seemed to linger much more on her exposed body than was necessary. She still hadn't forgotten about the kiss, but was trying to pass it off as either an accident or Narumi's version of a friendly greeting. It couldn't be what it looked like. They were both girls!

"Lie down," Narumi ordered, and with a small nod Maya complied, stretching herself out on the other girl's bed, the silk sheets feeling smooth against her skin. It was so pleasant that she didn't even notice when her sempai left the room as she drifted off into a daze between sleep and awakening.

It was a light touch against her thigh that snapped Maya back awake. She opened her eyes to see Narumi had returned. She had a small box open before her and was rubbing some sort of salve over Maya's thighs. While the pain was fading, Maya was a bit nervous at how focused her sempai was in rubbing, and how close she was getting to certain areas that Maya didn't like touching herself, much less being touched by another woman. She was happy that she had seemed to have finally made a friend at school, but thought that Narumi was being a little too friendly.

The older girl stopped the rubbing and leaned back to stare at what she had done, noticing Maya's now open eyes at the corner of her own. "Oh, you're awake." She sounded oddly disappointed. Maya nodded slowly, not knowing what else to do.

Narumi grinned suddenly. "I guess it'll be more fun this way anyway." She took out another dollop of salve and began to rub it hard all over Maya's bare stomach, starting at her belly button and making increasingly larger circles from there. "What are you doing?" Maya asked her in a shaky voice.

Narumi smiled coyly. "I'm tending your injuries, Maya- chan. Those girls were so very naughty to do this to you. I think that I may have to teach them a lesson later." "But do you have to rub so hard?" "Oh, am I hurting you?" "No, but..." Maya trailed off as Narumi's hands 'accidentally' brushed against her pubic hair. The blonde girl's grin showed how much she was enjoying this. Maya tried to squirm away from her hands, but that only made Narumi sit on her legs to keep her still.

Maya was as helpless as she had been last night, but there was something strangely pleasant about this helplessness, yet disgusting her at the same time. She was sure that Narumi didn't mean her any harm, but she definitely didn't like another girl touching her body like this. It was so... wrong.

That was when Narumi's hands moved up to cup her breasts, gently massaging them, her hands still cold and wet with the salve. Maya could feel goose-bumps starting to form all over her skin and she wasn't sure if it was just from the cold.

"Sempai, I... I don't think I'm bruised there," Maya managed to stutter out as new sensations began to wash over her. "But it makes you feel better, doesn't it?" Narumi asked with a toothy grin as she laid down on top of Maya, who could now feel her sempai's hard nipples against her stomach through the flimsy shirt Narumi was wearing.

The older girl lowered her head down to one of Maya's own nipples and suckled on it like a newborn, her left hand still massaging the other breast, while her right was running up and down Maya's left side, her touch feather light.

"S-sempai...," Maya breathed. Narumi looked up at Maya, resting her chin on the space between the younger girl's breasts. There was an amused twinkle in her eye as she reached out with one hand to run it through Maya's short, dark hair. "Hush, Maya. This won't hurt at all." "But I like boys," Maya insisted, having a hard time believing that this was actually happening.

Her sempai laughed lightly. "Boys. You're such a child, Maya. Now just relaaaax." "Sempai, I can't," Maya told her firmly, trying to push Narumi off of her, but she was too weak from the beating and lack of sleep to even budge the larger girl.

"Well, if you're sure. I can send you back to your dorm, and let those others continue with what they started. They know you're weak now, though. I doubt you'll get much peace."

Maya looked haunted. "I don't want... I can't..." Narumi slid her body up against Maya's, so that her head was right above the younger girl's, looking directly into her eyes. Maya tried to look away, but there was something almost hypnotic about her sempai's clear blue eyes. They were filled with concern, but hard at the same time, like her mother's eyes.

"I'll take good care of you, Maya. If you let me," Narumi told her softly as she firmly took hold of Maya's head in her hands and kissed her deeply, pushing her tongue past Maya's lips. Maya was too shocked to do anything as her sempai's tongue continued to explore her mouth while her hard nipples were rubbing against Maya's own breasts.

Maya gasped for breath when Narumi finally ended their liplock and leaned back to stare down at her with a wide grin, her short blonde hair all in disarray, the sunlight behind her causing her locks to glow with a golden light. "Was that so bad, Maya- chan?"

"It... it wasn't," Maya admitted after a few moments. In the end she had been kissing back almost against her will. Once she had stopping thinking about it and just let it happen, the whole thing changed from something creepy and strange, to pleasurable.

Narumi grinned in triumph as she undid her shirt and threw it aside, exposing her full breasts. Maya could only stare at them, automatically comparing them to her own small, imperfect ones. Narumi really was beautiful, so why was she fooling around with a tomboy when she could easily have a handsome boyfriend?

Narumi sat off of Maya for a moment, undoing her belt to allow her pants and panties to slide to the floor. Maya realized that this was the moment of truth. She could grab the coat and run out the door and Narumi wouldn't be able to stop her. After this there might not be another chance.

"The door isn't locked," Narumi said suddenly, still looking away from her. "What?" Maya asked in surprise. "You were thinking of running away from me, weren't you?" Narumi asked as she turned to face Maya, a small amused smile on her lips, as if guessing what the younger girl was thinking was all a game to her. "I'm not about to keep you here against your will, Maya-chan. I want you to want to stay with me. So if you want to leave, leave, and if you want to stay, stay. It's your choice."

Maya sat up and wrapped her arms around her waist. She was strangely more conscious and uncomfortable with her own nakedness now that Narumi was also nude beside her. She stared at the coat hung over the chair for a long time, her arms shaking with her own deep breathing.

She finally glanced back up after a few minutes and was startled to find that Narumi had moved closer to her, so that their faces were only inches apart and their bodies nearly touching. Narumi might have said that she was free to leave, but her eyes pleaded for Maya to stay.

Maya stared back into her eyes before she finally broke contact and muttered, "I don't want to go." But she wasn't exactly sure that she wanted to stay either.

Narumi slowly wrapped her arms around Maya, giving the younger girl ample time to pull away, but then she just let her. Maya didn't know what was going on, her mind and her feelings were all mixed up, so she had decided to just stop resisting and let whatever happen happen. Held closely against Narumi, her naked flesh pressed against hers, head resting on the older girl's breasts as Narumi ran her fingers through her hair, Maya's initial feelings of wrongness and disgust faded away, to be replaced by feelings or warmth and safety. It was something new and wonderful to a girl who had spent most of her life alone in one way or another.

"I trust you, sempai," Maya whispered, something she had never felt for anyone ever before. Narumi kissed her lightly on the cheek and whispered into her ear, "I love you, Maya."

Chapter 5

Maya walked over to the foot of the bed, her eyes on Ritsuko's naked flesh which seemed to have a pale glow under the moonlight. "Sempai, I can teach you the truth the way I learned the truth. You just need to cooperate."

Ritsuko was frightened about how vulnerable she felt under her assistant's scrutiny, like a specimen on the examining table. "Maya, stop this! You're not making any sense!"

The doctor struggled with her bonds to get a better look as Maya reached into the box she had brought and pulled something out. She was relieved, but at the same time oddly disappointed, that it was only a small glass jar filled with some milky-looking substance.

"This is a special salve that my friend used to make," Maya told her as she knelt down at the foot of the bed, setting the jar down and unscrewing its lid. "I only have a little of this left, so you should feel privileged that I'm using it on you. It can cure any kind of sickness or pain, and it feels _so_ good on your skin."

Ritsuko only felt ill as she watched her assistant lick her lips as she fondled her own breasts. She was obviously trying to act seductive, but it was only making the doctor sick. The older woman was almost relieved when she stopped so she could smear that salve of hers over Ritsuko's calves. Maya did have a point though, the salve was cool and pleasant against her skin. The doctor could almost enjoy it if she wasn't being tended by a naked Maya while she was strapped down nude to her assistant's bed.

Ritsuko laid her head back down and closed her eyes to enjoy the sensations since escape looked impossible, at least at the moment. She tried to imagine she was someone else's prisoner, to change the creepy to sensual. Gendo? He had nice, strong hands, but it was too much a fantasy for Ritsuko to indulge in it for very long. He would never wait on her like this, no matter what she was willing to do for him. Kaji? Well, there had been a few times when they were still in college and once recently for nostalgia's sake as anything else. She wished that she hadn't. Despite his reputation, Kaji was terrible in bed, and his... well, she thought even Shinji's was bigger. Misato? Where the hell did that come from? Well, there had been that one time when the both of them had gotten really, really drunk, and...

Ritsuko blinked open her eyes to realize that Maya had already worked her way up to her thighs, but it didn't feel like her hands anymore. She looked up and nearly choked to see Maya straddling her leg, pressing her whole body against it as she rubbed back and forth, massaging Ritsuko's thigh with her cleavage.

"Stop this, Maya!" Ritsuko shouted, but her assistant didn't seem to hear her. She had her eyes firmly shut as she emitted low moans.

Ritsuko suddenly found that all of Maya's rubbing had somehow loosened the silk rope that bound her left leg and had just enough give to knee Maya right in the stomach. She felt a small surge of triumph as Maya gasped for breath, a pained look crossing her face as she sat up and stared back at her.

"That wasn't very nice," Maya said coldly as she stood and roughly tightened the rope the bound Ritsuko's left leg, cutting off circulation to her foot. "I'm only trying to help you."

"I don't want anymore of your fucking help, Maya!" Ritsuko yelled as she struggled violently against her bonds, starting to feel desperate. "Just let me go, you twisted dyke!"

Maya's smile flickered for a moment as Ritsuko's last remark hit home, but the smile had a more menacing quality to it when it returned. The doctor was starting to feel that insulting the deranged woman who held her captive wasn't such a good idea.

Maya sauntered over to the head of the bed, lightly dragging her nails against Ritsuko's naked flesh, causing goose pimples to appear in their wake. The doctor's breathing was shallow, not knowing what to expect, but afraid of it nonetheless. This was not the meek, sweet-natured Maya that she had known anymore.

Her assistant sat on the bed next to her. Ritsuko expected to be groped or fondled any second now, but Maya only leaned forward so that their faces were very close. The doctor could feel her hot breath on her face, but what surprised her was the single tear that rolled down one of her assistant's cheeks. She was sure she hadn't been able to kick the younger woman that hard, even if she did deserve it.

"I know that was just the illness talking, but that hurt, sempai," Maya told her with a sob. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said it," Ritsuko said in the most sincere tone should could muster, hoping that if her assistant really thought she was repentant, she'd let her go. "Why don't you just untie me now and we'll both forget this happened. Okay?"

Maya wiped away her tear and said, "If you kiss me once, a real kiss to show me how much you care..."

"...then you'll let me go?" Ritsuko finished, feeling excited that this nightmare seemed to be nearly over. She even started to plan on how to find a new assistant once she had her old one safely locked away in the asylum.

Maya nodded slowly, a sad frown on her face.

"All right," Ritsuko finally agreed. For her freedom, kissing another girl was a small price to play. "But no tongues."

Maya nodded again and slowly brought her lips down to meet her sempai's, acting strangely afraid considering all that she had just done. The doctor closed her eyes and tried to pretend that it was Gendo she was about to kiss, but that became impossible when she felt Maya's breasts pressing against her own, her assistant's hard nipples digging into her own soft flesh. As she finally felt Maya's lips, she thought the hell with pretending, it was only a kiss after all. All she had to do was endure.

Ritsuko had no idea how long they stayed kissing like that, it felt like minutes to her though she doubted it could have been more then a few seconds, when she just got used to it. It wasn't a bad kiss, and she didn't really see anything wrong with two girls kissing, though she wasn't personally into that sort of thing. The situation under which it was happening could have also been better though. It was a surprisingly innocent kiss, something she might have expected from Maya before she had gone insane, that is if she had known about her preferences.

It was obvious now to Ritsuko that Maya had had a major crush on her for some time now, and finding out the truth had shattered whatever fantasy she held of them being together, and this whole thing was her form of revenge. She wasn't actually insane, just... impulsive. She was probably reenacting something she had seen in a movie. Maya might be just as scared as she had been.

Ritsuko started to kiss back. She was beginning to feel guilty about working Maya so hard all the time, and this was probably partially her own fault for not seeing her assistant's devotion to her as what it truly was. In fact, she had encouraged it in the past in order to make her assistant work harder, so couldn't help but feel a little responsible for all this. If a kiss was all that Maya wanted, she could at least try and give it to her.

*This will end up just like that time with Misato,* Ritsuko thought with humor, *We'll be laughing about this over coffee tomorrow morning.* That was when Maya's body began to writhe against her own, flesh smoothly sliding against flesh. Her right hand encircled the doctor's neck as she pressed her lips tighter. Her left gently massaged the the doctor's right breast, her thumb playfully flicking her nipple, which quickly hardened under her touch.

Ritsuko didn't want to think about how... good Maya's touch felt. Her assistant had obviously done this sort of thing before because the sensations she was receiving was starting to cloud the horror in her mind. Gendo's touch had never felt this good, not that he ever really tried. She involuntarily gasped aloud and then felt Maya's tongue worm her way into her mouth.

That snapped Ritsuko out of the daze she was surrendering to and she immediately bit down on her assistant's tongue hard. Maya screamed as her head snapped back, a single drop of blood spilling from her open mouth only to land on the spot between the older woman's breasts.

Maya was frowning now and her whole body seemed to shake with a repressed anger. She suddenly spat out a wad of blood, hitting Ritsuko in the face, just under her right eye. The doctor's stomach churned with disgust to feel it clinging to her cheek, slowly sliding slowly down, and being unable to wipe it off.

Maya held herself tight as she sat on the doctor's stomach and took a few deep breaths. "I shouldn't be angry at you for acting like this, sempai," she finally said in a voice that was trying to stay calm. "I know that you're only acting this way because of the illness, and once I free you from it, you won't even think about resisting me, but I just... can't... help... myself."

With that, Maya grabbed hold of Ritsuko's breasts and squeezed them tightly, digging in her sharp nails deep enough to draw little spots of blood. The older woman screamed in pain, but her assistant seemed deaf to her cries as she forced her grip tighter by leaning all of her weight on her hands and then twisted, drawing fresh shrieks from the doctor.

Ritsuko took a deep breath of relief when Maya finally stopped torturing her, though she didn't like her assistant's expression as she idly wiped her bloody nails off on the doctor's chest. Her eyes were... distant, unfocused, as if she were miles away at the moment, lost in a memory.

Chapter 6

Narumi leant Maya some clothes to wear, including her heavy coat that she had first wrapped up the younger girl in. Maya was shaking in fear with the idea of going back to her dorm after what had happened, but her sempai with her gave her some courage. At least she wouldn't have to stay there.

"We'll just get some of your things so you can stay the night at my place," Narumi told her. "I don't want to be a... burden to you," Maya muttered, though that wasn't the entire reason for her reluctance. She trusted her sempai, but she didn't know how to feel about her sudden declaration of love either.

Narumi chuckled. "Maya-chan, I want you to move in with me. I love you, but I won't pressure you into loving me. If you just want to be friends, then that's what we'll be. I'd much rather have that than have you afraid of me. But that still doesn't mean I'll let you slip away because you're too afraid to try something new. Give me a chance and I'll show you pleasure beyond anything you could ever get from a man."

Maya couldn't help but feeling nervous under Narumi's seductive glance. "I'll... think about it."

For all her worrying, Maya's return to the dorm was somewhat anticlimactic. People glanced at her as she passed, but no one spoke to or otherwise bothered her. Not one remarked on the bruises that were visible on her legs and arms either. She couldn't help but wonder if it was her sempai's presence that was stopping everyone from lobbing their usual insults.

The girls who had abused her the night before didn't even glance in Maya's direction. She, however, missed the look the Narumi gave the group, something half-way between anger and anticipation.

Maya found that she had surprisingly few things she needed to bring with her. Toiletries, a few changes of clothes, her school supplies, and a few books to read. Then again she hadn't had much to start with. No mementoes from friends, no family gifts too precious to not leave behind. There wasn't really anything that couldn't be replaced, but then Maya didn't have much money to spend. Besides, as much as she hated it, she had to go back to the dorms again, probably for the last time, if just to close the door on that part of her life. Because even if things with Narumi didn't work out, she would not be coming back there.

When they were out of sight of everyone, having left the dorms some distance behind, Narumi slipped her arm around Maya's waist and brought her close to her. Maya didn't protest, she just let it happen as she could feel the shaking that she hadn't been previously aware of fade away. She still wasn't sure about the other stuff, but a friendly hug was okay. It made her feel safe.

Narumi did her best to make Maya feel at home. The younger girl got her own space in the closet and bookshelf, along with a spot in the bathroom for her things there. There was only one desk, but they could just do all their homework on the kitchen table. Narumi came up with a plan that had them sharing the chores pretty evenly. Maya admitted that she had no idea how to cook, but her sempai promised to teach her.

Maya noted that that wasn't the only thing that they would have to share. She couldn't help noticing that there was only one bed, and no couch or futon to make a convenient substitute. Narumi made no mention of it, however, and Maya couldn't find a way to casually bring it up without the risk of offending her new host. Having no where else to go made her overly concerned about such things. If worst came to worst, sleeping on the floor wouldn't be too bad.

Maya was finally settled in, and changed into some of her own clothes, when Narumi announced, "I'm going to make something very special tonight, in honor of my new roommate."

"You don't have to do through any trouble for me," Maya said uncomfortably. She already felt as if she was using her sempai's feelings for her to get a free room. An expensive meal would only add to her guilt.

Maya nearly jumped when Narumi leaned across the kitchen table and took her hand. "It's no trouble. I only want the best for my Maya-chan," she said with a big smile.

Maya laughed nervously as she slowly pulled her hands away. She liked the fact that someone was so nice to her, but wasn't exactly comfortable with being referred to as 'hers'.

The meal was delicious and full of flavor. A little too full for Maya who wasn't used to such spicy foods. Her mother had never been much of a cook and the food at school was always bland. She frantically looked around for something to drink, but strangely Narumi hadn't put anything out.

"Is something wrong with your food, Maya-chan?" her sempai asked with some concern. "No, it's very good, but it is a bit spicy for me. I was just looking for something to drink."

"Well, I was going to save it until after dinner, but I guess it'll be okay if we start on it now," Narumi said as she pulled out a bottle of wine from the refrigerator and presented it to Maya. "It was a gift from my parents. I've been saving it for a special occasion, but nothing had come along, that is until I met you."

"But I'm too young to drink," Maya told her nervously, again wondering why her sempai was going through all this for a plain, nondescript girl like herself. She was painfully aware of the fact that she was nothing special, so why all the fuss?

Narumi grinned as she took out a corkscrew and popped out the cork. "So am I, but this is a special occasion. Besides, you're not in the dorms anymore. There's no one here to turn you in if you disobey the rules."

That wasn't what Maya was worried about. She knew that she was a bit naive about some things, but she did know the sort of effect alcohol had on people. Despite her promise to let Maya have control of their relationship, Narumi was still pushing for something beyond friendship. Things were happening too fast for Maya. Even if a deeper relation with her sempai turned out to be what she wanted, it still wasn't something she was prepared for.

While Maya was deep in thought, Narumi had already poured each of them a glass of wine. "A toast," she said suddenly, snapping the younger girl out of her thoughts. Narumi held her glass up and continued, "A toast to the beginning of a beautiful... friendship."

Maya felt that she had no choice but to raise her glass as well and tap it against Narumi's. She watched older girl drink from the glass, expecting something, though exactly what she wasn't sure; some sudden change to show the alcohol taking effect. Instead, Narumi sipped at her wine as if it were no different than tea and went back to her meal.

Maya stared down at the red liquid as she swirled it around in her glass. It looked perfectly harmless, like grape juice, though it's scent tickled at the back of her nose in a way no juice would. She was even more thirsty now than before, and Narumi had opened this bottle just for her. It would be an insult if she didn't drink at least one glass.

As Maya brought the glass up to her lips, she could feel Narumi's eyes on her, glancing up from her meal, and expectant look in her glance. Maya smiled and shook her head a bit. One sip had had no effect on Narumi, so she was worried over nothing. Besides, denying the wine because it was something she wasn't supposed to have was acting like a child. Did she want to be a child forever?

*I have to drink this,* Maya braced herself with that thought and swallowed. Maya coughed a bit, nearly spitting the wine back up. Narumi looked at her with concern. "Are you all right?" Maya attempted to smile as her coughing subsided. What kind of adult would she be if she couldn't take a little wine? She would have to try and be as strong as her sempai. "Yes, I was just... surprised by how it tasted, that's all."

"You get used to it," Narumi explained, "My parents have been giving me wine since I was a little girl. Just drink some more and you'll be fine. You'll even develop a taste for it once you get used to it. Once you really get into it, you'll learn to love it, Maya- chan."

Maya was a bit intimidated by her sempai's intense stare, those blue eyes that had paralyzed her before. She retreated from those eyes by looking back down in her glass. It had been an unexpected taste, but not unpleasant. It certainly didn't match with the evils of alcohol her mother had preached to her. She didn't feel any different.

Maya took another sip, somewhat ashamed that she coughed again, though this time it was only a little bit. Narumi seemed pleased by this though. "See? You're getting used to it already, but you better finish your meal before it gets cold."

Maya nodded and went back to her food, though the rich spices made her often reach for the wine glass without even thinking about it. She coughed again the third time, but that was more because of surprise to find wine in her glass, having nearly forgotten all about it.

She had no problems after that, finding the wine went down smoother the more she drank. In fact, it started to make her feel rather good, warm and somewhat light-headed, but in a pleasant way. It wasn't long before she was reaching for the glass just for the sake of drinking it, which seemed to be bottomless. Maya failed to notice Narumi occasionally refilling Maya's glass with a smile as her own went mostly untouched.

It wasn't long before dinner was finally over, Narumi having finished some time before Maya, but seemed content to sit and watch the younger girl eat. Maya had been too caught up in the food, and especially the wine, to notice.

Maya stood to bring her plate to the sink, only a little puzzled to find her wine glass half empty. She was pretty sure she had drank more than that. She quickly finished it off and placed the glass on top of her plate, stumbling when her sense of balance seemed to go all at once. Narumi was instantly at her side to steady her with an arm around her waist, pulling her close.

"Are you okay, Maya-chan?" she whispered in her ear. Maya shivered to feel her sempai's breath, seeming almost cold compared to her hot skin. Was there something wrong with the heating in there? Maya was almost sweating. "Fine," Maya finally replied after collecting her thoughts, which seemed to be running off on random tangents and were hard for her to get under control.

Narumi smiled and guided Maya to the sink, helping her dispose of the dishes.

"Shouldn't we wash 'em now?" Maya asked, not noticing her speech was slightly slurred.

Narumi gave Maya a little squeeze and explained. "No, this is a special night. We can just let them soak for now and take care of them in the morning. Besides, dinner isn't over yet. I hope you saved room for dessert."

"Dessert?" Maya asked curiously.

Narumi nodded, and with arm still firmly around Maya's waist, guided them both to the refrigerator, taking out a plate filled with assorted pastries. "I rushed to get these while you were busy packing up your things from a little pastry shop right near your old dorm. I've had them before so their very tasty, and they go pretty well with wine."

Maya thought about the wine and realized that it was probably the reason why she was feeling strange all of the sudden. "I think I've had enough wine... for tonight."

"Nonsense," Narumi gibed her lightly as she gave Maya the plate of pastries to carry, while she collected the half-empty bottle of wine and their two glasses in one hand. "We just can't let this wine go to waste."

Maya was thinking over this, trying and failing to come up with some argument, her mind still swimming with the effects of the wine and her sempai's close touch, her scent, when Narumi lead her past the kitchen table and into her bedroom.

"Sempai?" Maya asked with a note of panic in her voice. "I just thought we'd have our dessert on the bed where we'd both be more comfortable. We can even watch a little TV to help us relax. You need to loosen up, Maya-chan, you're still so tense," Narumi told her as she gave the younger girl another squeeze.

Maya thought that if she were any looser, she'd be on the floor right now, but somehow the words of protest never quite reached her lips as her sempai set the bottle and wine glasses on a table beside the bed, and switched on the TV. Some old American black and white movie was playing that Maya had never seen before, and the volume was turned low so the voices of the actors were like playful whispers, filling up the room just enough to take the edge off of the silence.

Narumi let go of Maya long enough to guide her to the bed, the same bed where something had sort of happened between them earlier. Maya wasn't exactly sure what it had been, but the thought made her nervous. She even tried to stand back up, but her sempai's gentle push was enough to kill her resistance.

Narumi soon joined her in bed, sitting behind Maya so that her legs encircled the younger girls, her arms around her waist. The older girl gently but firmly guided Maya to lean back, resting her head on Narumi's breasts.

"Comfortable?" Narumi asked in a voice that was all smiles.

"Yeah," Maya slurred a bit, feeling a wave of lethargy hit her. She closed her eyes about half way and sighed. Not being able to see what she was leaning on somehow impaired her ability to worry about it. She was comfortable, that was all that mattered.

Seeing the pasty that Narumi was now holding up to Maya's lips, the younger girl opened her mouth to let her pop it in. She giggled a bit and ate the sweet. "You don't have to feed me."

"Oh, but I want to," Narumi whispered as one hand started to massage her shoulders. "I want to cater to your each and every desire, Maya-chan. I want you to crave the pleasure that I alone can give you."

Maya had a feeling that her sempai was talking about much more than pastries, but she was too content to care. Narumi offered her a full glass of wine to wash the pastry down, which Maya accepted with a small nod of thanks and finished the glass in one swallow. She barely even noticed the taste, but could feel a warmth spreading through her body, making her numb to Narumi's hand which had reached under her shirt to rub lightly on her stomach, working upwards to her breasts.

Maya's world became a haze of pastries and wine that her sempai plied her with. With each new glass of wine, her skin grew hotter, so that when Narumi suggested she take her shirt off, it seemed like a pretty good idea at the time. Of course, the wine had made her a bit clumsy and she felt a bit embarrassed that she needed her sempai's help just to take off her shirt. She wasn't sure how her bra had come off in the process, but it had started to feel too constricting anyway.

The plate of pastries was empty. The bottle of wine dry. Narumi turned Maya around so they were face to face, Maya sitting in the older girl's lap. Maya felt a trace of panic to feel her sempai's bare breasts rub against her own, but firm arms held her still, drawing her in for a deep kiss.

Chapter 7

"I'm sorry," Maya finally said in a choked whisper. Ritsuko thought that almost ten minutes had passed in silence between them, the only sounds the blowing of wind on the drapes and the distant tick of a clock from another room. Maya has simply sat on Ritsuko's stomach with her head down, not moving, hardly breathing.

Ritsuko had managed to get the bloody spittle off of her face by shaking her head violently, half hoping that this would also snap Maya out of whatever daze she was in. The pain from her recent ordeal had mostly faded, but she couldn't help staring at the blood that was smeared on her chest. This wasn't over yet.

"It's... okay," the doctor told her, even though it wasn't. She had thought that out of everyone at NERV, her assistant was the most sane, but it seemed that Maya could be more messed up than any of them. "If you just let me go we'll--"

"No, it's not okay," Maya said firmly, cutting her sempai off. "I'm here to help you, but all I've done is hurt you. I shouldn't let things like that get to me."

Maya slowly laid herself down on top of Ritsuko, so that that their breasts squashed against each other and their lips were only inches apart. The older woman prepared herself for another deep kiss, but her assistant only whispered, "But you forgive me, don't you, sempai?"

Ritsuko didn't like the way Maya kept running her hand through her blonde hair, didn't like the way she could feel her breath on her face, her body pressed so closely to hers, but especially didn't like the look in her assistant's eyes. Concern, worry, but a hardness underneath, a coldness that reminded her of the Commander's eyes.

"Of course," Ritsuko told her, nearly having to force the words out. "Of course I forgive you." Maya smiled and gave her a playful peck on the lips, then slipped off the bed and nearly dashed for the small box that she had brought in at the beginning of all this. Ritsuko watched her assistant's bare bottom sway back and forth as she dug around in the box.

"I just realized that I've been doing things all wrong, sempai. I need to get you in the proper mood before you'll be receptive to my cure." "It's a little late for that," Ritsuko muttered under her breath, but Maya didn't hear or pretended that she didn't. Instead, she pulled out what looked to be a length of black ribbon and a squat wine bottle.

"I guess I was so eager to get right to the fun," Maya told her with a small giggle as she walked back to the bed. "That I forgot that getting you ready could be fun too." "What are you going to do now?" Ritsuko asked a bit nervously, trying not to let her panic show.

Maya just leaned forward and gently but firmly tied the ribbon around her sempai's head, completely covering her eyes. "I could just pull the shade and find your body by touch alone, but I think its more fun for the both of us this way."

Ritsuko nearly had anxiety attack. It was bad enough to be tied down like this, nearly helpless, but not even able to see what her assistant was doing before it happened, no way to prepare herself for... "Maya, take off this blindfold this minute!"

"You're much too tense, sempai," Maya whispered in her ear as she caressed her cheek. "You need to relax and let go of all the silly notions that society has filled your head up with. Once you do that, this will feel so very good. Here, this will help you."

With her sight blocked, Ritsuko found that her other senses had been heightened, particularly her senses of touch and smell. The feel of Maya's skin once again encircling her lower waist was enticing and nauseating at the same time, but it wasn't nearly as bad as the sudden whiff of alcohol somewhere close to her nose.

The doctor tried to lock her jaw shut, but Maya simply pinched her nose closed and waited for her sempai to run out of air. Ritsuko held out for as long as she could, but the second she gasped for breath, Maya poured the harsh-smelling liquid right down her throat. She managed to spit some of it back up, but the rest burned as if went down. It wasn't wine but some hard liquor, and not the doctor's favorite thing to drink under the best of circumstances.

"Oh, look what you've done now," Maya cooed as if talking to a baby who had just spat up her formula. "This stuff is too precious to waste a drop."

Ritsuko could feel Maya's tongue as it licked playfully at her neck, making her way over her chin to methodical clean her face like a cat caring for her kitten. When Ritsuko tried to pull her face away, she felt Maya's hands take a firm hold at the base of her neck, digging into her blonde hair, bodies once again pressed tightly together.

Maya licked closer and closer to her sempai's mouth, slowly caressing her lips in small circles until she finally slipped her tongue inside and explored her mouth once again. There was nothing stopping the doctor from biting that tongue again, other than the thought of what Maya might do to her this time.

Ritsuko gave up resisting and decided to simply wait for it to be over. Maya's affection disgusted her -- she did not want to be touched by another woman this way -- but it was preferable to being tortured. All she had to do was endure for now, pretend to become whatever her deranged assistant dreamed her to be, and get in touch with NERV security as soon as possible.

The older woman gasped a bit as one of Maya's hands moved away from her neck to encircle her nipple, tugging at it playfully, all the while her assistant's hot breath lightly bathed her face, breaking off the French kiss while planting small kisses on her lips. Her mind might have been disgusted, but her body was definitely aroused.

Maya was right, it did feel good once she stopped thinking about it, but she didn't want her assistant to be right. Even if she had been interested in other women, she definitely didn't want to be tied down helpless as she was raped by one.

"Maya, please untie me," Ritsuko asked in a pleading tone. "I'll do anything you want, just please untie me." "Okay," the younger woman said after a few minutes. "I'll untie you, but only if you finish the rest of this bottle."

The doctor felt a sudden surge of joy. The alcohol was powerful stuff -- she was already feeling the effects of her first drink -- but she had been drunk before, she could handle it. It wouldn't be like that time...

"I could drink it faster if you'd untie me," Ritsuko told her assistant in her most reasonable tone. "At least untie me hands." Hands lightly caressed her face and neck, reaching down to the top of her breasts. A voice whispered, the breath hot against her neck, the tickle of alcohol in the older woman's sensitive nostrils.

"I'm sorry, but I just can't trust you, sempai, at least not yet. I'm afraid you might do something bad again and I'll be forced to hurt you. Please don't make me hurt you again, sempai." "I won't do anything like that again, I promise. I've learned my lesson."

Maya's hair brushed against Ritsuko's bare shoulder, causing the doctor to shiver. She could feel her assistant's head now nuzzling against her neck, and was surprised at the sudden urge to wrap her arms around the girl. Maybe the alcohol really was effecting her thinking like Maya wished it to, but she hadn't even drunk that much.

"Please drink the rest of the bottle, sempai," Maya pleaded, laying against her side as her hand lightly kneaded Ritsuko's stomach.

Ritsuko was feeling more reluctant now, thinking that there was something else in that bottle disguised by the bitter taste of liquor. Some sort of drug that... That what? Could turn her gay? Ritsuko was a woman of science, she knew there wasn't any such thing. She was just letting her fears get to her. All she had to do was be nice to her assistant for a little bit longer and finish off the nasty stuff. Then she would be free.

"I will, Maya. At least take off this blindfold. I won't waste any if I can see what I'm drinking." "Don't worry," Maya told her as she shifted her weight, sliding her body against her sempai's, "I'll help you. Now open wide."

Ritsuko reluctantly opened her mouth and nearly choked on the liquor that was poured into it. It was easier this time, knowing it was coming, but whatever the booze was it was powerful stuff and the doctor never drank hard liquor straight unless she was already far gone. She was more of a social drinker, choosing coffee as her usual beverage of choice. And this was definitely not a social occasion.

Maya eagerly sought to taste the booze from Ritsuko's mouth, probing with her tongue into every crevice, sucking on the doctor's own tongue as if it were a straw. Ritsuko found herself leaning forward to deepen the kiss before she realized what she was doing. By the time she pulled back, it was already over.

Ritsuko heard the chug of the liquid again and braced herself for another dose of her 'medicine,' but none was forthcoming. Maybe Maya had liked the second-hand taste so much that she decided to take a swing herself, though she doubted it. Even Misato would have to be pretty far gone already before she'd like the taste of this harsh liquid.

As Maya took another firm, but surprisingly gentle, hold of her head, Ritsuko braced herself for another deep kiss. Even she had to admit that there wasn't a lot actual bracing needed. Forced French kisses were pleasant compared to what Maya could be doing to her. She almost felt... expectant, eager.

Their lips met once again and Ritsuko nearly choked in surprise as the alcohol filled up her mouth. As she swallowed it down so quick that she barely noticed the taste, Maya's tongue replaced it, carefully licking her mouth clean.

As Maya began to pull away, Ritsuko blinked as a plan suddenly formed in her mind. She sucked on her assistant's tongue before it could slip out of her mouth, encircling and tugging at it with her lips. She nearly smiled as she could feel Maya freeze, probably surprised and uncertain of what to do next. Then she felt her shiver as Ritsuko lightly dragged her teeth across her tongue while licking all around it with her own.

Maya moaned as she leaned forward again and returned the kiss, squashing her lips against her sempai's to press her tongue as deeply as possible into her mouth. Ritsuko's tongue battled hers for space, their breath hot and sharp with the scent of the alcohol they had just shared. One of Maya's arms was wrapped around her neck, while the other expertly kneaded her breasts, massaging Ritsuko's now sensitive skin.

Ritsuko gasped aloud, breaking off the kiss, when Maya's leg began to rub against her sex. She strained her bonds to pull her whole body away. She was just trying to convince her assistant that her 'cure' was working. She didn't mean to get so into it herself, but her mind seemed clouded now, that in the middle of the moment she simply forgot everything but pleasure, and the desire for more pleasure.

The doctor shook her head in an effort to clear it. If this was going to work she had to remain in complete control, of her mind and body. "Mmm, that was wonderful, sempai," Maya purred into her ear, the younger woman once again lying against her side, head resting in the crook of her neck, her fingers lightly roaming up and down Ritsuko's body.

Ritsuko said nothing, trying to ignore the comfort she was beginning to feel in Maya's warmth, her touch. No matter how much she might want to escape from this, her body was enjoying it. And now her mind was beginning to give in as well.

She kept thinking that it wouldn't be so bad to just give in to what Maya wanted just for one night and have her assistant back to her usual self in the morning. Maya was too valuable to replace; she was sure she'd never find another assistant as dedicated and capable as her, especially at this stage. Retraining would be a nightmare. And if Maya wanted a little nookie now and again in return for her devotion, what was the harm?

*Isn't that exactly what Gendo is doing with you?* she couldn't stop herself from thinking. She knew he was just using her, but she still gave in anyway. Why? There were a lot of reasons but basically what it boiled down to was she was a lonely woman and the sex was good.

"I think it's time for another drink," Maya said suddenly, interrupting the doctor's thoughts. Ritsuko realized that she would have plenty of time to think of the consequences of all this later, she still had to get though tonight.

Maya supplied her with alcohol-fueled French kisses until she had finally drained the bottle dry. Ritsuko did her best to convince her assistant that the treatment was working, while still holding herself back, trying to avoid fully giving in and falling under Maya's spell like she had before. There were times when she came close, but managed to bring herself under control in time. She didn't relish the idea of becoming her assistant's love slave.

But now the ordeal was nearly over. Maya would untie her and she'd be able to convince her assistant to let her go, applying force if needed. Only Maya made no move to untie her. Her assistant finally got off of her and after a few moments she heard the door open.

"Wait! Where are you going?" Ritsuko asked, feeling her earlier panic return. "You said you'd untie me!" Maya's hands took hold of her face and she placed a small kiss on her sempai's lips. "Don't worry, I'll be back soon. My special medicine needs time to take effect, and I've got a few more preparations to make." "Untie me now, you fucking dyke!" Ritsuko shouted, far beyond angry to having been tricked again. The only response was the sound of the door closing.

Chapter 8

"No," Maya whispered, breaking off the kiss and struggling to push her sempai's hands away, but her strength was as feeble as her protests. Though Narumi's touch was warm and soft, but her grip was like iron, encircling Maya like a cage.

Maya looked up into her sempai's eyes, searching for some way to end this. It wasn't as if she was against this entirely, but it was all too fast for her, all too soon after what those other girls had done, her bruises not yet faded completely.

The usual caring look was gone from Narumi's eyes now, they only burned with lust. It was an animal look, almost completely devoid of intelligence. Maya tried to shrink away from it, but the arms still held her fast, not permitting escape. "Please, stop."

Narumi grinned, licking her lips. And suddenly forced Maya down onto the bed, pressing her lips against hers, her tongue pushing past her lips, knocking the breath right out of the younger girl. Maya tried to squirm away, but Narumi's weight pinned her down, one arm wrapped around to hold her arms to her sides while the older girl's free hand roughly grouped her right breast, painfully squeezing at her nipple.

Maya bit her lip to stop herself from crying out, whether in pleasure or pain she wasn't entirely sure. The pain was sharp, but quick, leaving behind a wave of pleasure in its wake. Narumi had moved on to planting small kisses down her neck, occasionally nipping at her with her teeth, though not hard enough to break the skin. Maya felt a small shiver with each contact, each one adding to the intensity until she couldn't help gasping aloud.

"No, no more," Maya murmured dreamily, her eyes half shut, baring her neck for her sempai without even realizing it.

Narumi continued to work her way down, licking at Maya's collarbone, her arm no longer restraining the younger girls, though the weight of her body still kept her pinned, straddling her stomach. Her newly freed hand massaged Maya's left breast, alternating between rough and the gentleness of before. When she squeezed her nipple this time, Maya couldn't help moaning aloud.

The other hand slid down to take a firm hold of the younger girl's behind, pulling their bodies closer together. Maya could feel her sempai's soft pubic hair rubbing against her stomach as Narumi's kisses trailed down to her right breast, licking, sucking, and nipping at it, making her way in tighter and tighter circles until she finally reached the nipple.

Narumi grinned as she gently kissed it, her amusement that of a little girl. Then her smile grew up, and she dragged her teeth along the nub of the nipple while caressing it with her tongue. Maya's whole body quivered with delight as she released a low, lust-filled moan. She reached out to run her fingers through her sempai's short blonde hair, pushing the older girl's head back down to her breast. Narumi suckled at it eagerly as her left hand worked around from her bottom to inner thigh, massaging the softer skin it found there, inching closer and closer to the younger girl's sex.

Maya gasped and immediately pulled away as Narumi's fingers gently brushed against the soft petals of her sex. This couldn't, shouldn't, be happening. "No, please stop."

Narumi didn't respond. She turned around so that her legs pinned Maya's arms to the bed while her arms firmly held her legs open. Maya had never felt so vulnerable and defenseless in her life. Tears of frustration began to well up in her eyes as she struggled to free herself, but she couldn't even budge the older girl.

Narumi slowly lowered her body down. Maya could only stare as her sempai's sex came closer. A pleasantly musky scent filled seemed to fill the room all at once, which combined with the wine and the warmth of her sempai's body against hers, caused her to relax. The sight of her sempai's sex was almost hypnotic as it glistened wetly only inches from her eyes, moving up and down to the motions of Narumi's body rubbing against her own, their flesh hot and slick with sweat. Maya felt the sudden urge to reach out and touch it, but her arms were still pinned.

Maya gasped sharply when something wet touched her own sex, but this time she didn't attempt to pull away. Narumi's tongue licked around the edges of her clitoris, but never touching, closer and closer only to pull away again, contact light as a feather. Maya waiting for something more to happen, but Narumi seemed content to continue this subtle caress.

"Please... don't tease me, sempai," Maya begged, using what little give she had to rub her body against the older girl's, trying to do anything to increase this feeling welling up inside her, this pressure. Something she had felt before, but never at this intensity. The idea of letting it slowly fade away without release this time was almost painful to her.

Narumi's hands firmly pulled Maya's legs further and further apart as she tickled the younger girl's pubic hair with her chin. Maya whimpered, arching her body in an effort to bring her sempai closer to her most sensitive spot, which demanded attention. "Please," she begged.

Maya's body writhed when Narumi finally reached out and caressed her clitoris with her tongue, bathing and massaging that delicate nub. No longer teasing, Maya could feel the older girl's lips kissing her soft petals as her tongue began to probe deeply inside her. Maya was so focused on this that she barely felt Narumi's hands kneading her thighs.

Maya thrust her pelvis forward in an effort to drive her sempai's tongue deeper and deeper inside of herself, her whole body shaking as the waves of pleasure grew stronger and stronger, moaning and gasping in time with her sempai's movements.

Maya felt Narumi's whole body shudder as her nose accidentally rubbed against the older girl's clitoris. The earlier scent was much stronger now, but it still wasn't enough. Maya wanted to breath it in deep. Finding he arms free now, she grabbed hold of her sempai's waist, bringing Narumi's sex in for a kiss.

The older girl gasped as her whole body shook once again when Maya was finally able to bring her lips in contact with Narumi's petals. Maya breathed in the wonderful odor as she licked the cloying wetness of her sempai from her lips. It was a taste like she had never experienced before, and she wanted more of it.

Maya released a long moan as she felt one of her sempai's fingers thrust deep inside her, sliding in and out. Maya moved her body to the rhythm of those thrusts, feeling an increase of the pleasure that threatened to overwhelm her. Somehow though it still wasn't enough. Maya hugged Narumi's waist tight with both arms, while she pressed her lips against her sempai's sex, suckling at her clitoris.

Maya felt like she was going to explode when Narumi began to thrust two fingers inside her sex, deeper and faster than before, filling her up tight. She had to occasionally break away from her suckling just to gasp for air, and her sempai's low moans were getting louder and louder.

But it still wasn't enough. Maya was right on the edge, but what her sempai was doing now was only keeping her there. She wanted, needed, something else to push her over.

Maya broke away from her sempai's sex and licked her own index finger, making sure that it was nice and wet. With her other hand spreading the petals of her sempai as much as possible, she plunged her finger deep inside of Narumi.

Narumi screamed, arching her back as her hands dug painfully into Maya's flesh.

Maya immediately pulled her finger out with a slurp, staring it in shock, still wet with her sempai's lubrication. "I'm sorry," she started to apologize, feeling tears began to form. She had finally realized what pleasure Narumi could give her and in return she had hurt her. "I didn't mean to--"

"Don't... stop," Narumi told her with an undertone of anger, gasping for air. "Don't you dare stop."

Maya blinked away half-formed tears, more confused than ever, but feeling her own building pressure starting to fade now that Narumi had also stopped. She couldn't let it end like this, she would do as her sempai commanded her.

"Yes!" Narumi shouted in joy as Maya's finger was thrust inside her again. "Keep going," she instructed, though sounded as if she was having difficulty speaking. "Use two... two fingers."

Narumi's sex held her one finger so tightly that Maya didn't even know if two would actually fit, but any protests immediately died as she felt her sempai's two fingers slide back inside her once again.

Maya brought her hand back into her mouth, licking off Narumi's juices, before gently sliding two fingers inside her sempai, doing to her best to avoid hurting her this time. Narumi's breathing abruptly grew heavier as her moans increased in volume. Maya was so focused on her sempai's cries that she failed to notice that hers were just as loud.

With it still faintly lingering in her mouth, Maya craved the taste of her sempai's juices. She didn't know why, but she had the urge to lick her fingers clean. But she couldn't stop and risk Narumi's fingers to stop filling her up. Maya licked around the edges then as she continued to thrust her fingers deeper and deeper, faster and faster, inside of her sempai, no longer even considering that she might hurt the older girl. Pleasure was all, there was no room for anything else.

Narumi wriggled with each lick, and the wriggling itself became another source of pleasure, something that brought a smile to her lips as leaned closer to plant more intimate kisses. For once Narumi was copying her and soon Maya herself was writhing as she once again felt her sempai's tongue caress her petals, while her fingers drove in deeper and deeper.

"Almost... there," Maya gasped, nearly unable to speak over the pleasure, which seemed to both surround and fill her at the same time. She brought wrapped her legs around her sempai's head in the effort, the hope, that it would bring those fingers in deeper still, to reach that small thing that was keeping her from going completely over the edge.

"Me... too," Narumi replied, her voice low and sensuous. "Please don't stop."

Maya's free hand kneaded her sempai's behind, gripping it in an effort to make her fingers go in deeper while she slurped all around Narumi's sex.

Narumi suddenly stopped her ministrations for a moment, nearly causing Maya to whimper. Before she could, however, she felt her sempai's fingers driven even deeper inside while she lightly massaged the younger girl's clitoris with her teeth.

Maya's world suddenly exploded with pleasure as her body buckled, arching her back as the total ecstasy of her orgasm completely overwhelmed her. She was literally conscious of nothing else.

"Don't... stop," Narumi whimpered, bringing Maya out of her sudden daze. Maya grinned, her whole body still echoing and resounding with the pleasure she felt. The initial high of the orgasm had only lasted for a moment, but its effects still lingered, an all- encompassing warmth rather than a instantaneous rush. Maya mimicked her sempai, thrusting her fingers in as deeply as she could while biting down very gently on the older girl's clitoris.

Narumi screamed again, even louder than before, with her whole body rigid and taunt, shaking slightly with the strain. Her head was raised to stare at the ceiling, the light from the television strangely illuminating her golden hair.

And then she turned her head, looking Maya right in the eyes. Her blue eyes sparkled and there was a wide grin on her lips. Maya had never in her life seen someone who looked so happy.

Without a word, she turned around and brought their faces in close. For a while they only stared at each other. Maya had the urge to speak, but had completely no idea what to say. Narumi cupped her cheek and gently kissed her on the lips. Maya was surprised, and pleased, to taste her own juices there.

Narumi settled the bed sheets over the both of them, and then slowly wrapped Maya in a hug, their legs intertwining. She rested the younger girl's head on the crook of her neck and began to run her fingers through her hair.

Maya sighed in contentment, snuggling closer to her sempai's warm body. Closing her eyes, she could feel herself starting to drift off to sleep.

"That was wonderful," Narumi whispered suddenly. "Yes," Maya agreed in a voice just barely audible, "It was."

Chapter 9

"Get back in here, you bitch! Whore! Tramp! Slut! Dyke!" Ritsuko shouted until her voice grew hoarse as she struggled against her silken bonds, but they still held her fast, and only received silence in response for all of her cries.

She could feel the light breeze from an open window brush against her naked flesh, but her skin was too hot to notice the cold. It burned like she had a fever, she could feel her skin dot with small droplets of sweat. She frowned to feel it slowly making its way from her forehead down. She wanted to wipe it off, cleanse herself, do something; but she was still trapped, unable to move, unable to see.

Ritsuko sighed as she finally gave up again, coughing a bit, her throat sore from all of her shouting. Her breath burned with the alcohol Maya had forced her to drink. It stank too, she hated the taste in her mouth, but there wasn't anything she could do about that either. She was helpless.

No longer focused on escape, her mind became lucid, drifting off on odd tangents. She felt relaxed, despite her current situation. Results of the booze, she knew. Ritsuko was normally a tense and nervous sort of person, so it was no real surprise to that she was a mellow drunk. All of her troubles started to seem small and distant, not worth bothering with.

She tried to struggle against this feeling, but it was hard with nothing to focus her rage on. There was no longer any of Maya's sick attempts at seduction, only the soft bed with the silk sheets lying gently against her skin. She couldn't shake off her bonds, but they weren't uncomfortable; even the one that Maya had tied tight enough to cut of her circulation before had loosened enough to no longer bother her.

Ritsuko began to slide her body slowly up and down, rubbing it against the sheets as they caressed her skin, like the feel of an attentive lover's hand. A familiar feel, but not gentle like this was, like she always wanted him to be. She moaned a bit in frustration and she struggled against her bonds again, even though she knew it was hopeless. She really wanted to dig her breasts, her erect nipples, into those sheets, deeper and deeper, lubricated with her own sweat. She wanted her hands free so her she could press them against her sensitive sex, to drive their softness inside herself.

Ritsuko howled in frustration, the normally gentle touch of her restraints biting into her wrists and ankles as she strained with fury against them. It was still not enough to free her, however.

She didn't want to admit it, she didn't even want to think about it, but there was no use in denying it anymore: Ritsuko was definitely turned on. She wasn't a lesbian like Maya wanted her to be, she had never looked at another woman that way in her life, but the combination of the silken sheets, the caresses and kisses, and the liquor she had drank from Maya's own mouth had made her hornier than she had ever been in her life. And the frustration of just lying there, unable to even satisfy herself, was driving her mad.

"Get in here and fuck me, Maya!" She shouted suddenly, her voice still raspy from her earlier yelling. "Come on and fuck me now, you fucking bitch!"

Ritsuko no longer cared if her assistant was a screwed-up dyke from hell. Her body begged for attention and she couldn't deny it any longer. Maya was naturally missing what she really craved, but under the circumstances she would just to make do. Besides, she knew from prior experience that the touch of a woman could be very... satisfactory.

She nearly sighed with relief when the door finally opened. "You're all sweaty now, sempai," Maya purred as Ritsuko listened to her soft footfalls draw closer. "Your body gleams under the moonlight like a fallen angel."

The doctor felt a delightful shiver as Maya's hand lightly ran across her side. It made her want more. Her nipples were painfully hard now and her skin was so hot she half-thought she'd set the sheets on fire. She squirmed against the silk, half in frustration, half in anticipation.

"Can you take the blind-fold off now?" Ritsuko begged. "Of course," her assistant replied. Ritsuko savored the touch of Maya's arms around her neck, her breath against her face. It still reeked by the alcohol they had shared, but the doctor was no longer bothered by it's odor. She almost felt disappointed when those hands pulled away as the blindfold was finally removed.

For a few moments, it was almost as if she still had it on, then Ritsuko's eyes adjusted to the dim light. She saw her assistant standing beside her, nearly laughing to realize it was the same pose Maya normally had when waiting on her, only this time her assistant was completely naked.

"My bonds?" Ritsuko begged, practically panting. Maya nodded and carefully made her way around the bed, freeing the doctor's hands and legs. Then she stood there, as if uncertain what to do next.

Ritsuko sat on the bed in silence, rubbing her wrists and ankles a bit, though she'd much rather be rubbing other places. As she looked up at her assistant, whose expression was lost, confused, and plan began to form. She smiled as she gestured for her assistant to come closer.

Maya nodded and slowly drew closer to Ritsuko, sitting next to her on the bed. She seemed timid now, almost fearful, more like her normal self. The doctor realized that their short time apart might have given her assistant time to think about this and the whole scheme might not have been such a good idea now as it had seemed at first.

"Sempai, I--" Maya started to say, her tone apologetic, but Ritsuko put a finger to her lips to silence her. The doctor idly wrapped her arms around the younger woman, running her fingers through her short, dark hair as she leaned close to her.

"You've been a naughty girl, Maya-chan," Ritsuko whispered throatily into her assistant's ear, her lips nearly touching. She could feel the girl shiver with every word. "I'm afraid that I must... teach you a lesson." "Yes, you must," Maya whispered back eagerly, her eyes gleaming in the moonlight.

Ritsuko grinned as she drew the younger woman closer to her, arms just brushing the bottoms of Maya's breasts as her own nipples dug into her back. The feel of flesh against flesh was too delightful to Ritsuko to care that it was another woman. She moaned as she wondered idly what else was in that little box of Maya's that she hadn't seen yet.

"You must do everything I say to the letter, or I will not permit you to be in my sight again," Ritsuko told her sternly, letting her arms fall as she leaned away from her assistant's body, removing all contact.

"Please, not that! I'll do anything, sempai! Anything!" Maya pleaded, her body quivering.

Ritsuko suddenly wrapped her arms around Maya again, squeezing her tight enough to give her assistant difficulty breathing. She couldn't believe how badly she had come to want to hold her like this, and more, but the older woman refused to be that easy, not after what Maya had just put her through.

"Oh, I think you're going to like what I have in mind," Ritsuko said with a grin before slipping her tongue into her assitant's ear. Maya leaned into it eagerly, squirming her back against the doctor's sensitive breasts, her arms lightly running up and down the her legs, lingering close to the doctor's pubic hair.

Ritsuko bit down on Maya's ear, hard but not enough to break the skin, one hand rubbing at her assistant's stomach while the other cupped a breast. Her touch was forceful, not gentle at all, but not painful either. Maya wriggled around in her grip, her breathing low and shallow, her rear end rubbing up against the doctor's lower stomach.

"Stay still, stay quiet," Ritsuko whispered, though her tone was stern. Instantly, all of Maya's movements ceased. She stared straight ahead, hardly even breathing. The doctor was surprised and pleased by her quick response. The situation was quite attractive now that she was the one in charge. Those inhibitions not stripped away by lust dissolved under this feeling of complete power over the person who had up until recently held complete power over her.

Ritsuko lightly punched Maya's stomach while her other hand squeezed the breast it held, digging her dull nails into the soft flesh. Her assistant remained mostly still, though she quivered very slightly as her breathing grew heavier. Her eyes stayed firmly planted on a distant spot on the wall.

The doctor's right hand encircled the nipple while her left slipped down through soft pubic hair, making small pinches along the way, tugging at the hairs by the roots, but playfully, careful not to tug too hard. Maya remained still. The older woman wrapped her legs around the smaller girl, drawing her in even closer, arching her back to force her assistant to do the same.

Ritsuko hand slipped down to Maya's sex, blindly exploring her nether regions with the tips of her fingers while the other hand rubbed her right breast, flicking at her nipple with her thumb. Maya's mouth was clamped shut and she seemed to be biting her own tongue to keep from crying out. Ritsuko grinned as she ground Maya's delicate petals between forefinger and thumb while her other hand took a firm hold of the nipple and twisted it sharply. Maya gasped wordlessly as her eyes went wide, her hands tightly gripping the older woman's thighs.

The doctor turned and dumped her assistant onto the bed as if she were a toy she was done playing with. With a slow grace, Ritsuko stood up and towered over the young woman lying there on the bed all astray, a marionette whose strings had been cut. She crossed her arms under her breasts, her legs closed tightly together, trying her best to appear stern and commanding. An effect she knew that was all but ruined by her current nakedness.

Maya sat up quickly and looked at her with pleading in her eyes. Her mouth was opened, but she seemed to fear saying the wrong thing.

"You moved," Ritsuko explained, her voice a mixture of anger and disappointment. "Now I have to punish you for it." She was trying to for a cold glare, something to hide the nearly overwhelming lust and desire she felt, but couldn't quite manage it. Her body shook with the urge to have Maya's warm flesh pressed up against her again, but she resisted. She had to remain in control.

Maya looked convinced, however. Her lower lip quivered, her eyes nearly spilling tears. It was enough to soften the doctor, though only a bit.

Ritsuko sat down on then bed next to her, leaving about a foot of distance between them. Maya stared at her with longing in her eyes, but made no move to bridge the gap between them.

"I want you to lie across my lap," she told her assistant, her tone still devoid of warmth. "And this time don't move!" "Hai, sempai!" Maya answered immediately and very gently laid down like someone trying to get a suntan, her stomach on her sempai's legs, while the doctor gathered up the discarded silken bonds which had once held her fast.

"Hands behind your back," Ritsuko told her. "Hai," Maya replied, doing as she was told. Ritsuko tied Maya's hands together as tightly as she could without cutting off circulation, then doing the same for the girl's legs, pausing only for a bit to run her hand down one leg. A third one was balled up and crammed into her assistant's mouth. This brought a look of surprise to Maya's face, which the doctor met with an evil smile.

"Now no quivering this time," Ritsuko instructed her assistant as she raised her open palm up and brought it sharply down on her rear. Maya shivered slightly with the contact as her eyes widened, but in no other way reacted. The doctor found the sound of the slap pleasingly loud in the silence of the room. Her assistant tried to say something, but it was muffled by the silk that filled her mouth.

"Quiet! Ritsuko shouted, bringing her hand down twice in rapid succession, her assistant's bottom quivering with each blow, drawing an amused giggle from the doctor. Maya had buried her face in the sheets to further muffle the small sounds she was obviously trying her best not to make.

"This one is for drugging my coffee!" Ritsuko declared, bringing her hand down even harder than before, resisting the urged to fondle her assistant's reddening bottom. "This one is for kidnapping me!" Again the hand came down. Ritsuko liked the way the air felt as it whistled faintly between her fingers, though not as much as when those fingers made contact with Maya's soft flesh. She could feel her nipples becoming painfully hard again. She tried caressing them with her free hand to reduce her budding lust, but it only seemed to make things worse.

"These are for tying me up and making me helpless!" Ritsuko nearly screeched as she quickly spanked Maya three times, pausing only for a moment in-between. She gasped for breath while her free hand violently fondled her breasts as if it had a mind of it's own. She absent-mindedly rubbed her legs against Maya's stomach draped over them, opening her legs to allow contact with the more sensitive flesh of her inner thighs.

Maya arched her back slightly, presenting her behind to Ritsuko, looking nearly as red as an apple even in the pale moonlight. The sound of muffled whining reached the doctor's ears, a wordless plea for attention.

"Don't move!!" Ritsuko shouted, bringing her hand down so hard that it knocked Maya's body back down flat on the bed, causing her assistant to whimper loudly, even muffled by the silk.

A moment of stillness followed as Ritsuko listened to the faint sound of wind rustling the curtains and Maya's muffed breathing. The younger woman was shaking very slightly, rubbing her stomach against the doctor's legs in a way that she found strangely soothing.

Ritsuko then gently ran her palm on Maya's now almost painfully sensitive rear, rubbing each cheek as if carefully polishing them. Maya shivered with each caress, but otherwise did her best to remain still and silent. The doctor was especially careful to make her touch feather light, as if treating a burn victim. She continued to do this until Maya began to squirm in impatience, arching her back again to make Ritsuko's touch more tangible.

Then the doctor's hand slid from her assistant's firm bottom, up her back, to wrap around her neck, titling up Maya's chin. With a small grin, Ritsuko reached into the younger woman's mouth and plunked out the damp cloth. Maya looked up at her in surprise as the doctor studied the wet silk with interest.

Ritsuko especial noted the eager gleam as she brought the item close, as if she were about to rub it onto her own breasts. Tempting though this was in a way the doctor herself didn't quite understand, she instead brought the cloth to Maya's swollen behind. She was again surprised by the trace of guilt she felt when she saw that look change to disappointment.

Maya squirmed as Ritsuko rubbed hard on her assistant's behind with the damp cloth. Her breathing was low, punctuated by short gasps, especially when the trailing edge of the cloth touched the younger woman's sex. The look of disappointment had vanished in an instant, only to be replaced by something approaching joy.

"You're enjoying this, aren't you?" Ritsuko accused, tone tinged with amusement. "Hai, sempai," Maya replied, her voice low.

Ritsuko grinned, deciding that these sort of games could be fun as long as she was in control. She wrapped her arms around the smaller woman, lifting her up from under her armpits and gently setting her reddened behind on the doctor's half-opened legs. Maya faced her now, hands still tied behind her back, her eyes filled with uncertainty, but there was an eager gleam to them.

"I'm afraid I'll have to find another way of punishing you then, you sick pervert," Ritsuko told her, licking her lips. The doctor leaned forward, her arms around her assistant's neck, their nipples lightly rubbing against each other. "Now what can I do that will really teach my assistant a lesson?"

Maya leaned forward, burying her head in the crook of Ritsuko's neck. "I'll do anything you want, sempai," she whispered. "Anything."

"Anything? Hmm..." Ritsuko thought out loud as she idly ran her hand though Maya's hair, the other arm holding her assistant close to her, fingers tracing patterns on her back. The comfort of skin against skin felt like heaven to the aroused doctor, but their combined body heat was making her all sweaty. She could take a shower, but then she thought of something better.

"Your behind must be very hot from the spanking I gave you," Ritsuko told her, her hand slipped down to caress Maya's rear, cupping a bruised cheek in her palm. "It's fine, sempai." "It's not nice to lie to me, Maya-chan," Ritsuko said in a gentle tone as she roughly pinched her assistant's overly-sensitive bottom.

Maya cried out in pain and surprise, and then told her mentor, "It's burning, sempai." "That's much better," Ritsuko told her sweetly, kissing the younger woman on the forehead, then impulsively following up with a deep French kiss that left both of them surprised and breathless.

Ritsuko was starting to wonder what was happening to her. She was enjoying that far too much. Her body's craving for attention drowned out such thoughts, not to mention that her desire for revenge had yet to be completely sated.

"Do you have a bathtub?" the doctor asked. "Yes, a small one," Maya replied conversationally. "I was lucky to get it at all. The person who owned this apartment before me had to move out suddenly so I got it at a discount." "All this exertion has made us all hot and sweaty," Ritsuko explained. "We both need a good washing up, don't you think?" "Oh, yes!" Maya replied eagerly, grinning. "Definitely."

Ritsuko found her assistant surprisingly light as she slung the still-bound girl over her shoulder and stood, then nearly staggered from the sudden unexpected weight. Her head was cloudy with the alcohol she had drunk before and she was feeling a bit dizzy, but what she had planned could help both of them sober up in a hurry.

She finally left the room which she had once thought to be her prison for the night and felt absolutely none of her previous urge to escape. The only thing that waited her at home was a cold and empty bed. Things were much more interesting where she was.

The main room of the apartment was all one open space, combining living room, dining room, and kitchen. Even in the dim light, it was all familiar to Ritsuko who had been an infrequent visitor to her assistant's home. It was sparse and neat, half empty bookcase in one corner, computer and desk next to it. Small sofa and TV. Low dining table with just barely room enough for four. Waist-height wall separating the kitchen from the rest. Much better looking than her own apartment, though it seemed to lack a personal touch. As if this was to show prospective tenants rather than to actually live in.

Ritsuko paid this all scant attention as she padded her way over to the refrigerator, digging around in the freezer section before pulling out what she had been looking for with a joyful smile.

Maya, still slung over her mentor's back, and who could only tell where they were by looking down at the tiled floor, asked, "What are you getting?" Her voice sounded uncertain, and a touch fearful.

The doctor chuckled but didn't answer. The bathroom was easy to find even though Ritsuko had never had the need to use it before. She liked the dominance of blue -- from the tiles on the floor and lower half of the walls to the fixtures -- it reminded the doctor of the sea. A place which held fond memories for her.

Dropping the bag of ice in the sink, Ritsuko used both hands to set her assistant down in the shower stall. She was a bit surprised to see the nervous look that Maya was giving her, so with a grin she leaned forward and drew the younger woman into a deep kiss while her hand fondled the younger woman's left breast. When she pulled away, Maya was grinning back at her. It was an expectant sort of grin.

Ritsuko nodded with a smile of her own to her assistant, and then closed the shower curtain. She turned her attention to the small tub which lay in the middle of the bathroom, up against one wall. Even a small one was too large for such a small bathroom, it crowded everything in, but the doctor wasn't about to question her good fortune. With another chuckle, she began to fill up the tub, dumping in the ice as almost an afterthought. It didn't take too long to fill up near to the top, the ice cubes floating around like miniature icebergs.

Pulling back the shower curtain, Ritsuko asked, "Ready?" Maya looked up at her and nodded eagerly.

Ritsuko bent down and picked up her assistant in both arms, having to balance her on one knee for a bit as she got used to the weight. It wasn't easy for her to carry someone like this normally and she was still quite drunk, though she could barely feel it now. Arms outstretched over the tub like offering Maya up for sacrifice, she suddenly pulled her arms back and let her assistant fall to the icy water below.

The resulting splash filled the room, making Ritsuko shiver from the cold. She hadn't counted on getting wet herself, at least not yet. A second later, Maya's head broke the surface, gasping for air and shouting something unintelligible.

"Hold your breath this time," Ritsuko told her as if instructing a child before forcing the younger woman's head under the water again. She also had to pin her feet that were sticking out to keep Maya from thrashing around like a fish caught in the net. The doctor waited a few minutes before releasing her grip on the woman's head.

Maya's head popped up and gasped for breath again, her struggles violent and futile. Ritsuko had always been good with knots and those silken bonds stayed tied even in the water.

"Cold?" Ritsuko asked her with a smile. "Freezing," Maya admitted as her teeth began to chatter. "But I bet you rear feels better now?" "Barely feel it all now," the younger girl said, a trace of anger creeping into her voice as her expression began to approach a glare. "Whole body is numb."

Ritsuko began to feel a little ashamed of herself. After all, her assistant had completely trusted her and Maya really hadn't treated her this badly. Besides, she didn't want the girl catching pneumonia or anything like that. Ritsuko was only trying to teach her a lesson, but she still needed Maya for her work at NERV.

The only problem was getting her out of the tub without getting wet herself. While she might have liked a nice bath about then, the water was far too cold for her liking. Even the small splash that had hit her had been enough to make her shiver.

With an apologetic expression, Ritsuko untied Maya's legs, who spread them to the corners of the tub with a grateful sigh. Her look of anger had already softened to almost a smile, though her teeth still chattered. She leaned forward and raised up her still- bound arms. With a smile, the doctor leaned forward and untied them as well.

The next second Maya sprang half-way out of the tub, grabbed Ritsuko roughly around the waist, and shoved her under the ice cold water, a firm grip on her blonde hair to keep her head under.

Chapter 10

A chill wind rustled Maya's short hair, but she only instinctively pulled the coat tighter, her mind too focused on the simple gravestone before her, its only decoration the small bundle of flowers she had laid before it. The grave of her lover, Narumi.

Narumi had been diagnosed with a terminal illness long before they had met, something that would leave her more or less healthy for a while, and then a relatively swift and painless decline. Living with something like that for a few years helped to explain her sempai's aggressive personality. She had to take in everything as quickly as she could; she didn't have time for anything else.

Maya only found out all this in the hospital room. They had known each other for about three months and had grown very close, but there Maya felt that there was always one last step, one remaining emotional line that Narumi refused to cross that kept them as something more than friends than true lovers. Maya had thought that it was somehow her fault, that one of her many flaws made her unworthy of Narumi's love. She had been too afraid to say anything, however, and lose what she already had.

They had been making lunch when Narumi had collapsed without warning. Frantic with worry, Maya had called for an ambulance. She remembered the ride to the hospital as a single still image, Narumi lying there unconscious, her face screwed up in the same way it did wherever she had a bad dream. And Maya's helplessness of being unable to comfort her this time.

Maya couldn't say how long they had kept her waiting in the waiting room. Time had seemed to stop as she stared at the landscape painting on the far wall while hugging herself and repeating over and over, "Everything is all right, everything is all right."

The doctor's face was so neutral that it was hardly an expression at all, and it seemed to Maya to radiate a faint sense of disapproval, that her existence was the very reason for the patient's illness. Maya knew that this was only her imagination, caused by the stress of her worry and the in some eyes perverted relationship she shared with her sempai, but not one she could easily shake. She sometimes felt the whole world looked down on her in disgust over the fact that she had come to prefer another woman's embrace over a man's.

Information was quickly obtained. Is the patient all right? No, she is not. She is seriously ill, though she's currently not in pain. When will she be able to come home? Never, the illness is terminal. The best we can do is make her comfortable. May I see her? Yes, of course.

The hospital was huge to Maya as she walked down it's brightly lit, though mostly vacant halls. It created the illusion to her of a dead place where she was the only living thing to be found. She felt cold, and was pretty sure that it wasn't just the air conditioning, and each step she took echoed like thunder in her ears.

Narumi looked pale and faded like an old photograph, lying on the hospital bed as she stared up at the ceiling. So unlike her normal energetic self that Maya almost didn't recognize her.

"Sempai," the younger girl whispered very softly in surprise.

Narumi turned and smiled at her. It was a warm, welcoming smile and Maya drew all the comfort that she could from it. "Come closer, Maya-chan."

Maya nodded and approached her sempai slowly, as if moving any faster could somehow make Narumi more ill. She sat down in the seat beside the bed and very tentatively reached out her hand. Narumi immediately grabbed hold of it with a strength that she didn't seem currently capable of.

"I know I should have told you before," Narumi said, looking back up at the ceiling and away from Maya now. "But I was just so afraid that when you found out that I didn't have much longer to live you'd leave me."

"I wouldn't have, sempai," Maya told her, taking her lover's hand into both of hers, doing her best to warm her cold fingers. For some reason she seemed to being having difficulty speaking, like something was caught her throat.

Narumi didn't seem to hear her. "When I was a little girl, I found a bird with a broken wing. My parents never let me had pets before, but when they saw how determined I was to nurse that bird back to health, they relented.

"I spent every moment I possibly could with that little bird, feeding, tending it's wound, playing, even reading it stories though I knew even at the time that it couldn't understand me. I had thought that we had formed a inseparable bond somehow between us, a friendship that went beyond species.

"And finally that little bird was all healed up and I let her free, expecting that she would fly right back to me because of our bond. But she didn't, and I waited and waited, but that bird never returned to me."

Narumi turned to look at Maya again. Though she was smiling, her eyes seemed sad. "You were just like that bird when I found you, Maya-chan, so broken and lost. I fell in love with you then, but I was so afraid that you would leave me the moment you were healed and whole again that I was desperate to gain a strong connection with you, so that you would never leave me."

"And you did," Maya replied with a small smile, thinking of her initial fears and misgivings with amusement now. Her sempai had taken very good care of her.

Narumi's smile was radiant now, so that see almost seemed back to her normal self, but the hospital room dispelled that illusion. "I think I should rest now," she said softly, her eyes already closing.

Maya leaned close to her, very softly kissing her forehead and whispering, "I love you, sempai." Narumi died in her sleep a week later.

Chapter 11

Her body forced under the icy cold water, Ritsuko's thoughts had become surprisingly clear. It was if the moment had become suspended in time, drifting idly along like the ice cube that was slowing floating right before her eyes.

Maya was insane, there was no doubt in her mind about that, but was she really one to call her names after spanking the woman's bottom red -- and she couldn't help admitting to herself -- enjoying every minute of it? But why was she the feeling so turned on when normally she'd rather die then to touch another woman like that?

The answer was immediate and crystal clear. Gendo had never really satisfied her because she could never get over her frustration at never being unable to get to him. He was a wall that she couldn't breach, a block of ice that she struggled to chip away at but left no mark, while she would melt from his glance alone. She wanted that feeling of helplessness that he gave her, that he could easily pierce her cool facade, get to her the way the world couldn't, but she also wanted to get to him too.

Ritsuko yearned for it, dreamed of it, but no matter what she tried, in her heart she knew that it would never happen. Gendo was a closed book to her, but Maya let herself wide open even after the doctor had already hurt her before at the slightest opportunity. Why? Her assistant wasn't stupid, she knew that, and if she had really trusted Ritsuko she wouldn't have drugged her and tied her up in the first place. The only reason the doctor could find is that for whatever reason Maya yearned to be hurt by her, wanted her pleasure mixed with pain, joy mingled with betrayal. In the next instant, she realized that that was what she wanted too.

Ritsuko gasped for air as her head was gently pulled up out of the water, Maya's arms slick with the cold water sliding around her neck, her pale lips so close that she could feel her assistant's hot breath on her face, but her eyes were downcast, her expression mournful like a puppy who knows she's been bad and is expecting punishment. "I'm sorry. I've hurt you again, sempai."

"Don't apologize, bitch," Ritsuko told her with a sudden flare of anger as her arms coiled around the younger woman's back, pulling their wet bodies together with a loud smack as she brought her head in to meet her pale lips.

Maya's eyes were filled with confusion, but that melted under the older woman's kiss. Their tongues battled hungrily while their hands roamed all over each other's bodies, leaving trails of warmth. Ritsuko grabbed at her assistant's breasts hard, digging her nails in, feeling the echo of the younger girl's loud moan in her own mouth.

"You liked that, didn't you?" Ritsuko accused lightly as she brought her own body down hard on Maya's, squashing their breasts together, her hard nipples digging into her assistant's soft, wet flesh, causing more of the icy water to cascade out of the tub.

"Yes," Maya gasped, sucking at the doctor's neck like a vampire while her hands eagerly explored her back, feeling out the contours of her spine. The older woman's hands weren't idle as one rubbed the back of Maya's neck while the other reached down to caress her flat stomach. She ran her hand though her assistant's pubic hair, pulling them up between her fingers and causing Maya to shudder.

"Do you want me to hurt you, Maya-chan?" Ritsuko whispered in her ear, licking at her earlobe.

"I want you, sempai... so badly," Maya replied, her breathing low and heavy as Ritsuko continued to massage her breasts with her own. The doctor tried thinking over what her assistant had just said, only to have all thoughts driven out by a flare of unwelcome pain in her knees. She still wasn't exactly sure what Maya wanted from her, but she knew that this bathtub was definitely too small to find out.

Ritsuko slowly stood up in the tub, careful not to slip on it's wet surface as she felt the water dripping off her naked form. She rubbed her knees with a small frown, though thankfully the pain had mostly faded. She looked up from them to find Maya looking up at her in concern from the other end of the tub.

"Are you all right, sempai?" she asked in a worried tone. Ritsuko sighed a bit, giving up on figuring her assistant out. She had been alternating between some sort of lesbian nazi and her normal, meek self the entire night. "Just what do you want from me, Maya?" she asked in total exasperation.

This question seemed to take Maya by surprise. She looked down at her own naked body half-submerged in the cool water and whispered, "I want... you, sempai."

With a smile, Ritsuko leaned over and planted a kiss on Maya's still damp forehead. "Let's finish this in bedroom, okay? I think we'll both be a whole lot more comfortable there."

"Hai!" Maya replied, her eyes sparkling. Ritsuko slowly raised up her leg and stepped out of the tub, enjoying the odd feeling of doing this before an audience, wondering if Maya really was staring at her as intently as she was imagining, but not daring to look.

Her feet finally back on the tiles, Ritsuko turned and offered her hand to help her assistant up. Maya took her hand gently and attempted to stand, but the tub was slippery and she slipped and fell. The doctor was there to catch her however, slipping her harm around her waist, her head somehow ending up in the younger girl's cleavage as she sat on the edge of the tub.

"Sorry again, sempai," Maya said, sounding embarrassed. Ritsuko didn't know if it was the sheer strangeness of the situation or hearing her assistant apologize with the same words she usually used when she did something like mess up her morning coffee, but the doctor suddenly found the whole situation extremely hilarious. She couldn't help laughing loudly, automatically clutching the younger girl closer to her.

"Um, sempai?" Maya asked after a moment, sounding bewildered.

Ritsuko grinned up at her assistant from the space between the younger girl's breasts. "I am certainly lucky to have found such a dedicated assistant as you, Maya," she told her in a light tone.

"Thank you, sempai. I'm glad I haven't disappointed you." Ritsuko laughed again as she helped Maya out of the tub. Staring back at the short girl as they both stood in the bathroom, water dripping from them to land in small, icy pools at their feet, the doctor realized that she had already become so used to seeing her assistant naked now that it no longer even struck her as unusual. She had the oddest feeling that if Maya showed up to work the next day wearing nothing but a smile, Ritsuko wouldn't so much as bat an eye.

"Well?" the doctor said pointedly in the same tone she normally reserved when Maya was late with her coffee, while at the same time doing her best to hide a smile.

"Sempai?" Maya asked her in confusion.

"It seems my dedicated assistant is perfectly content to let her boss stand here soaking wet."

"Gomen," Maya apologized quickly as she scrambled for a towel and began to pat the doctor down.

"No, no, no," Ritsuko purred as she picked up one of the white, fluffy towels and let it unfold with a snap. "It'll take forever for me to get dry that way. You have to be much rougher, like this."

Ritsuko roughly rubbed the towel against her assistant's body, starting on her back and then coming around to her breasts, working downwards to her stomach, encircling her thighs and legs as she brought the towel up and down, up and down. She could hear Maya's heavy breathing as she raised the towel up to between the younger girl's legs and somewhat more gently dried off her assistant's most sensitive area. The sudden gasp and the moans that followed were music to the doctor's ears, proof that she could give pleasure as well as receive it.

Maya mimicked her as she began to dry the doctor off, but she was still too gentle for the older woman's tastes. "Harder, Maya, faster!" Ritsuko commanded, and then blushed when she thought of another context for those words, one that would be coming up quite soon. Maya failed to notice as her head was down, busily toweling off her sempai's long legs. She was taking far longer than was really needed, but for some reason Ritsuko didn't feel like pointing that out.

The both of them now dry, more or less, Maya looked up at Ritsuko, her expression clearly wondering what her sempai wanted her to do next. The doctor told her pointedly, though with a smile, "I carried you in here, it's only fair that you carry me back."

Maya nodded and gently -- still too gently -- picked up Ritsuko and held her in her arms. As the doctor wrapped her arms around the younger woman's neck and leaned her head against her chest, she idly wondered what she could do to bring out that darkness that seemed to lurk within her normally calm and cheerful assistant, the one that wasn't so concerned with treating her like a china doll.

Ritsuko had only a moment to think about however, because before she knew it she was lying on the wet tiles of the bathroom, with Maya on top of her, face down in a puddle. The doctor sighed, realizing too late that there was no way her diminutive assistant would have been able to carry her. Staring at the younger woman's bottom -- still somewhat reddened by the spanking she had given it earlier -- Ritsuko realized that this was an opportunity.

"Get off me, Maya!" she shouted, shoving the other woman off of her, landing in a puddle with a small splash. Her assistant's body was wet again, the droplets shining like small stars under the bright bathroom lights as they slowly rolled down from her breasts.

Maya slowly pulled herself up, her eyes downcast as if unable to bare to look at Ritsuko. "I'm sorry, sempai."

Seeing her mournful expression and hearing the sadness in her voice, the doctor felt a bit guilty in yelling at her, however, she steeled herself, sitting up and crossing her arms as a visible show of her displeasure. "You're always apologizing, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm soaking wet again. Aren't you concerned with my health? I could catch a cold!"

Maya wilted a bit under each remark, sagging back down to the wet floor. Her eyes seemed like she wanted to apologize again, but knew what sort of response it would bring.

Ritsuko stood so she could look down on her assistant, her expression cold and distant. "Any man could have carried me. What good are you?"

The doctor smiled a bit when she saw her last remark strike home. Maya reeled as if struck, and when she looked up there was a defiant gleam in her eye. "Men are worthless," she said in a low tone as she slowly stood. "I'm better than any man."

Ritsuko smirked at her. "Well, prove it then. If I've been cruel to you, then punish me for it." The fire in Maya's eyes diminished. "I... don't want to hurt you, sempai," she said in a small voice.

The doctor immediately backhanded Maya across her face, echoing with a loud slap. As the younger woman stared back at her in surprise, Ritsuko grinned toothily and told her, "Weak, coward, childish little girl; you disgust me. Why don't you go play with dolls and stay out of my sight?"

No fire burned in Maya's eyes now, they were cold as she brought her hand up slowly and returned the slap to Ritsuko. "Come on," she said in a determined voice as she grabbed the doctor's hand and lead her out of the bathroom. "If you want me to punish you, that's what I'll do."

Ritsuko's grin faded in surprise as they stopped in the kitchen, expecting to return to the bedroom. She wondered what her assistant had in mind, hoping that it would be interesting.

There was a tiled counter that separated the kitchen area from the living room. Maya stopped before it and without a word shoved Ritsuko hard so that her breasts were squashed against the tiled surface. She then grabbed both of her hands and held her down against the counter with surprising strength.

Ritsuko tried looking back in an effort to figure out what was going to happen, only to have Maya lean all of her weight on her, almost forcing the breath right out of the doctor. When the older woman stopped trying to look, she removed the pressure, though still kept her pinned.

When she heard the sound of a drawer being slammed shut, Ritsuko licked her lips in anticipation. Whatever was going to happen, it was going to happen soon. It was a delicious situation for her. On the one hand, she was utterly powerless, subject to the whims of her insane assistant, but on the other she could easily reverse the situation and become the one in power any moment she wished to. It was everything that she wanted.

Ritsuko's whole body shook when something small and hard struck her rear end. Maya was getting revenge for her previous spanking, but it didn't feel like her hand. The doctor didn't have much time to think as the next hit followed immediately after, then a third, forth, and fifth. Maya didn't pause once as she continued to strike her sempai's behind over and over again, while Ritsuko writhed against the countertop, her breathing heavy as her erect nipples rubbed against the tiles.

The doctor struggled to free her hands, overcome with the sudden urge to touch herself, but Maya's grip remained firm as she continued to swat her bottom. Ritsuko moaned -- half in frustration, half in lust -- while her assistant continued on with her punishment like a machine, always striking at the same intervals, unrelenting.

And then as suddenly as it had begun, it was over. Ritsuko felt something lightly being rubbed over her now painfully sensitive behind. Finding the grip on her hands loose, the doctor freed herself and stared down at Maya, who was holding a wooden spoon out before her almost defensively. She had the look of a girl having just been caught by her parents after doing something bad.

Ritsuko's expression was neutral as she took a firm hold of Maya's shoulders, then leaned forward and kissed her deeply, still glowing with the desire that the paddling had returned to her. After a moment, Maya kissed her back and their tongues caressed each other as their hands sought out the softest places on each other's bodies.

"That was hard for me, sempai," Maya admitted when the doctor finally broke off the kiss. Ritsuko smiled back at her, planting small kisses all over her face as she whispered, "I know, but you did so very well. Though I think it's time that we returned to the bedroom. Your silk sheets are the only things either of us will be comfortable sitting on."

"Hai," Maya whispered back excitedly, as with an arm around the other, the two of them went back to the place where the whole night had really started.

Curiosity overwhelming her, Ritsuko went right to the little box that Maya had brought in and was quite pleased with what she found there. "You _are_ a naughty girl, Maya-chan," she said with a grin as she turned back to her assistant.

Maya blushed in embarrassment. "Most of them belonged to a friend of mine."

"She must have been a very close friend," the doctor said with a smirk as she fingered one of the items in question. A long shaft whose shape was familiar to her, though the one she knew didn't come with an on/off switch.

"She was," Maya replied, nearly choking on the words as she stared down at the ground.

Ritsuko spun around to face her after hearing that tone. Realizing that she had accidentally hit upon a tender subject, she walked over to her assistant and very gently held her close to her. After a moment, Maya melted into her embrace.

Holding the younger woman's head to her chest while absently running her fingers through her hair, Ritsuko told her, "I want to fuck you, Maya. You've made me so horny tonight that my whole body is tingling. I normally don't... like other women like this, but tonight I want your body pressed against mine, your hands touching my most sensitive spots, your tongue in my mouth, in my sex. Touch me, suck me, fuck me, Maya."

Maya looked back up at her, tears forming in her eyes. "Sempai," she said, her voice a mix of awe, surprise, and utter bliss.

Ritsuko wiped away those half-formed tears and told her, "Don't keep me waiting any longer, Maya-chan."

"Hai," Maya whispered as she brought her head up and kissed the older woman very softly, not eager or passionate like their kisses before, but one that was instead filled with caring and warmth.

Setting the box within easy reach, Ritsuko guided Maya to the bed, laying the younger girl down while taking the place right by her side. For a while they only stared back at each other, studying every inch of exposed flesh, and then by some unspoken signal, they both reached out to each other, their eyes filled with longing.

Maya leaned in for a deep kiss and Ritsuko drew her assistant's tongue into her mouth, while her hands roamed down the woman's back, feeling along her curves like a blind man, all the way down to take a firm hold of her bottom, pressing their bodies together, their breasts rubbing up and down against each other in slow motions. Maya eeped in surprise, breaking off the kiss.

Remembering the earlier spanking, Ritsuko whispered to her tenderly, "Does it hurt?"

Maya shook her head, kissing along her sempai's neck, making her way up to the ear, all the while using her hands to keep their bodies caressing each other, up and down, slowly going faster and faster. She moaned aloud when her nipples brushed against the older woman's, causing the latter to shiver.

"No... it feels good," Maya breathed into the doctor's ear. She was finding it hard to speak over the pressure she felt starting to build up inside her, something she hadn't felt for a long time. "Please don't stop."

Ritsuko tilted her head so they were cheek to cheek, her hot breath on the younger girl's neck as she whispered, "Then why don't you hold me there too?"

"Hai," Maya agreed, her hands trailing down to her sempai's behind, holding it gently at first, remembering of the paddling she had given it recently. That was when the doctor slid her leg up so it could rub up against the soft petals of Maya's sex, just barely touching, the contact light and teasing. The younger woman gasped, instinctively grabbing a firm hold of the other's rear as a wave of pleasure stuck her like a sudden summer gale.

Ritsuko moaned loudly in response, her eyes shut as she arched her head back, coincidentally bringing her leg up further, causing Maya to shudder with delight as it slowly slid along the length of her sex, a silken touch. The doctor was smiling widely when she turned back to face her assistant, and without a word brought all of her attention on the young woman's breasts, suckling at them with lips, teeth, and tongue while her hands roughly massaged those two mounds.

Maya's whole body began to tingle as her sempai diligently stimulated her breasts, never concentrating on a single area for more than a few moments, though her almost-painfully erect nipples received the most attention from the doctor's mouth. The younger woman was in such bliss that she almost forgot everything but allowing this pleasure to fill her, then realized with a guilty feeling that she wasn't the only one who wanted to be touched.

Her hands sought out the doctor's breasts, gently caressing them at first, but
