The Forgotten Nakiri

chapter 12

Alice and Erina

since Alice was now forbidden from pestering Ryo by her mother and father, she had to manage on her own with the maids and normal bodyguards to entertain her. indeed they very efficient, but very boring and with summer heat Alice found it very hard to concentrate. so she went to see what Erina was up to.

even though she had a lot of homework still to do and the theme for the preliminaries to prepare for which was curry.

using her binoculars to spy on her 'royal highness' it seemed that Erina was free, so she decided that Erina needed some exposure to more common things, she told her maid to prepare for going to the public swimming pool.

Erina

finally Erina had the day off which was pretty standard as it was the start of the summer break, but because the preliminaries of the Fall Selection was only a few weeks away this meant Hisako was busy. and because she was the famous Erina Nakiri AKA 'the God Tongue' she couldn't just go out and enjoy herself.

as she wandered through the halls she looked out the window to see many students enjoying the beautiful weather. " i wonder what a normal girl would do if she had nothing do?" suddenly she heard one of the maids calling for her " excuse me Lady Erina...but you have a phone call...it's from Lady Alice." oh...no! was all that came to Erina's mind, indeed she wouldn't mind spending more with Alice if the girl wasn't so damn impulsive. she cautiously brought the phone to her ear, "Erina...we're going to the swimming pool!..if you want to come...hurry up!"

half an hour later she found herself and Alice infront of...a public swimming pool? Oh she was so going to get an ear full from Hisako later.

"ALICE!? WHY..DID YOU BRING ME HERE?...i thought we were going to the private pool?"

"because!.. you're out of touch with ordinary things Erina....neh why are you still wearing your school uniform?...you know..it's the summer break, right?"

"erm...cause you said to hurry Alice!" after the usual back and forth between them Erina found herself giving in after Alice had twisted her arm by saying she was, ignorant to the common people...and how Erina was supposed to be the best if she didn't know the people?...and so on.

'damn Alice for knowing what buttons to press!'

Back with Raven

it was around eleven and a lot had already been done both with horses having taken them down to one of the bottom paddocks which had lots of trees for shade. she and Ryo had already completed half of the homework.

but with it reaching midday the heat was becoming unbearable, "hey Ryo...do you want to go to the public swimming pool?..we can do the rest from the homework tomorrow." sure i could do with a break."

"great! i'll let Emma and Anna know to get ready."

they got themselves ready and along with the two maids, as well as one of the bodyguards insisting to Ryo that he come along just incase, as not only was the house staff loving and protective towards Lady Raven but so too was the security.

At the swimming pool

Raven and Ryo's car pulled up at the swimming pool shortly after Alice's had left, the girls changing rooms were full of women of all ages, who were in full conversations which each other this included both Alice and Erina.

but as soon as the beautiful Raven entered with her maids, the bustling and chatter soon fell silent, as the girls couldn't help but watch and quietly comment on how beautiful she was and how they wished they could look like her.

Erina too found herself entranced by the beautiful girl, but not because she was, indeed exquisite, long midnight black hair and porcelain white complexion and very well endowed.

and with her busy schedule Erina knew that they hadn't met, and yet she seemed very familiar.

unfortunately because so many years without even glimpsing Raven and Erina being sooo busy, she couldn't even recognize her own sister, even when she was standing right infront of her.

she watched as the beautiful girl, who Erina heard the maids call Lady Shadow. get dressed in a black skirted bikini and went out to the pool area, joined by one her maids.

but Erina just couldn't stop thinking about the girl and it wasn't cause of attraction. but...with Alice pestering her to hurry up and to stop being so timid, Erina didn't have time to press the matter further.

even though Raven was well aware that both Erina and Alice were also at the swimming pool, WOW! the way Erina looked at her, was almost like she was trying to figure out if whether or not they had even met.

Ryo

Ryo was wearing his black and fire print shorts and had gathered his stuff into a bag and waited for Miss Shadow, but his sensitive hearing soon picked up Miss Alice's and Miss Erina's voices.

and as soon as they stepped into the sunlight everyone came to a halt at their beauty, Ryo decided it would be best to keep out of Miss Alice's way.

after all he was here to relax not serve her,

and if the people were amazed by their beauty. then they and Ryo were about to be blinded, to say he liked what he saw when Miss Shadow stepped out in a bikini! was one hell of an understatement.

as Raven stepped out into the swimming area, the white of her skin reflected the sunlight everywhere, making her glow with exquisite beauty. but thankfully she had brought a long black silk dressing gown to lessen the impact, but showed off her curves

just when Ryo thought Miss Shadow could get more beautiful...

she moved with such grace as they made their way over to the shade and loungers.

Raven

after enjoying a swim in the cool water and a much needed ice cream, drinks and sun lotion which was applied expertly by Ryo who had become something of her guard dog. giving small growls whenever some little shit eyed her to long

Raven couldn't help but giggle softly at this as she was soon sat in between Ryo legs with his arms wrapped around her, and providing shade by hold her parasol so she wouldn't get sunburn, she was really starting to appreciate his protectiveness of her.

on the edge of the pool she let her feet soak in the lovely cool water and looked over the jump order for her next event, this had peaked Ryo's interest. " when is your next competition?..it's next saturday. why?"...mind if i come watch?" sure that's fine."

A few hours later

Erina was outside the pool entrance as she and Alice were waiting for the car, looking around she watched as a lot of couples held hands, while being very loving towards each other.

the only reason she was thinking about this was because Alice had pestered about anyone she liked, and once again her arm being twisted into letting her guard down only to have the confession recorded.

but suddenly she saw through the crowd Ryo with the beautiful girl, but even though she had glimpse her here and there. Erina still couldn't recall if she knew her, unlike Alice. she wasn't a perv so decided to let them be.
