Yukiko Reminisces

Tapping her pencil against her notebook and grazing over at her friend writing away, Yukiko felt comfortable taking some time to daydream before the lecture started. It wasn’t that long ago that Yukiko felt so withdrawn and trapped by the weight of expectations put on her. Now, even with the Shadows and the Midnight Channel continuing to haunt the town, the young heiress couldn’t help but feel lighter after the battle with her shadow self.

She could remember that fight perfectly. There was her dark reflection in the middle of a lavish red ballroom. “I’m sick of all of these things chaining me down! I never asked to be born here! Everything decided for me,” her other self, spit the venomous words and doubts that always suffocated her. “From how I live, to where I die,” her violent creed contrasting with her princess regalia.

Yukiko couldn’t help but feel a blush creeping up her face as she remembered her ensemble. From her long pink princess gloves matching her pink skirt, to her bronze tiara, and her bosom covered in a translucent white cloth adorned with two red roses on each side, it was a bit extravagant like something out of a fairy tale. Which probably wasn’t an inaccurate description…especially considering her “knight” standing across from her. Chie stood in front with Yu, Yosuke, and Teddie standing behind her as vanguard.

"Right..." Chie said as she rushed forward scything out with a kick which smashed the first Prince Charming shadow on her left side against the wall. “See the thing is…” she crouched and then leapt using a meteor kick to deliver a devastating blow to the torso of the shadow on her right. “If you want to run! Go for it!” Chie dashed back to reduce the distance between herself and Yukiko. “I got this power to protect you! Whether that’s here or somewhere else in the world” Yukiko’s shadow stepped back placing her back against the wall as she looked up and up at her friend’s smiling face. Yukiko tried to cling to her doubts as she tried to look elsewhere. She gazed at her friends lithe…no…that wasn’t right. She intently gazed as her friends’ prominent muscles. Yukiko’s eyes stopped at Chie’s thick powerful thighs. Yukiko couldn’t help but image herself trying to wrap her arms around them. ****, she looked away again and laser focused on Chie’s powerful arms which looked strong enough lift her into a bridal carry without the slightest strain. Yukiko could image herself gently resting her head against her knight’s bosom as she was rescued. “No…No…NOOOO,” the shadow screamed as she transformed into her Phoenix form. The giant red beast prepared to burn her friends to ash for daring to reach out to her.

“Somehow”, Yukiko thought “even that monster was defeated by her knight." Yukiko caught herself lingering on her friend face. Her gaze traveled a little lower as a simmering warmth seemed to stir whenever she looked at Chie’s legs.
