It hurts.
A sharp pain spread tore through her body as she opened her eyes. Feeling groggy, she opened her eyes and her vision slowly adjusted. Her body ached but she couldn't remember why.
She slowly got up and immediately the difference in interior caught her attention.
Karuizawa froze as she spotted the figure sleeping with his back against the lower part of the bed. In an instant, her memories came crashing back and her body trembled.
With shaky hands, she pinched her own thigh.
It hurt.
She couldn't stop the tears as she realised the humiliation she had to bear yesterday. She could still taste it, the bitterness and agony combining.
Perhaps it was the sound of her sobbing but it caused Ryuji to stir awake. Karuizawa shuddered as she saw his movements for a second her brain short-circuited.
Ryuji stood up.
Naturally, he turned around and locked gazes with Karuizawa. Seeing her tear-stricken face and fearful eyes he frowned before ignoring her. He headed to the bathroom and began washing himself.
Karuizawa didn't care about how he had suddenly become so handsome or how his body seemed much more leaner than yesterday.
She just wanted to escape. She gathered herself and ignored the pain. She threw the cover away and quickly for up to leave.
But the moment she stood up she fell to the ground. The numbness and soreness in her legs caught her off guard.
Crash! Thud!
Her left knee collided with the corner of the coffee table and she winced in pain, struggling on the ground.
The commotion caught Ryuji's attention.
He quickly came out, his body slightly wet and a towel draped around his waist.
"What are you doing?"
Karuizawa didn't answer, holding her knee in pain. She couldn't help but curse at her own useless self. She didn't dare raise her head to look at Ryuji. Memories of last night and the pain she endured were still vividly drifting. Especially the way he gently showered her, it made her hate him all the much more.
If he was going to be brutal and ruthless then stay like that, why be gentle too? It caused her emotions to go haywire. She couldn't recall the last time someone had touched her with so much care.
"You..." Ryuji smiled wryly, "Were you planning to escape in my shirt and just panties?"
His words caused Karuizawa to freeze, momentarily forgetting the pain she got up and looked at the oversized t-shirt that was being poked by her nipples, highlighting them and the pink strawberry panties that clung to her pussy tightly.
Her face went red as she tried to pull the blanket to cover herself. Despite yesterday's events, she wasn't comfortable showing herself naked like this.
But Ryuji grabbed her hand and pulled her back.
"Eek!" Karuizawa winced as the pain intensified. She glared at him hatefully but Ryuji noticed the deep-rooted fear.
They stared at each other in silence before Ryuji decided to break the stalemate. He lowered his gaze and examined the red scraping of her knee. It wasn't a direct crash and the friction had caused her delicate skin to tear open.
"Sit down first, there's still an hour before class starts." He spoke without much emotion, his voice calm.
He looked at her sharply and Karuizawa trembled, "I don't like arguing."
Karuizawa clenched her fists in rage, her heart was full of grief. Just a few days ago she had conquered the class, she had become the de facto leader of the girls. She had achieved what her past self couldn't even dream of but...
Again. Again she was being manipulated against her will.
Helpless, weak and miserable.
Karuizawa didn't know how else to describe her current feelings. The light in her beautiful bright eyes dimmed considerably as she sat down on the bed obediently. She saw Ryuji rummage through his drawer and pull out a small first aid kit.
He pulled a tube out and knelt down rubbing the cream on her bruised knee. Karuizawa felt a faint icy chill from the cream and frowned. She stared at him with bewilderment and didn't know how to feel.
Her hate towards him didn't diminish but her confusion had certainly grown.
"Don't worry, I won't reveal your secret to anyone as long as you just listen to me," he spoke corking the tube back and placing it back in the first aid kit before taking out a few bandaids, "My goal isn't to cause you pain, I'm simply using you for pleasure. Remember this clearly, our relationship is a transaction."
"You're disgusting." Karuizawa choked, "Why... What did I ever do to you? Why... W-Why is it always me? WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS!?!?"
Ryuji looked at her with half a smile. Her pretty face was flushed with tears and red from anger. Her watery eyes demanded answers but Ryuji wouldn't answer them.
He closed the distance between them and forcefully pressed his lips onto hers. Karuizawa froze in shock and quickly tried to push him away but Ryuji held her face with both hands, pinning her in place.
He nibbled on those soft pink petals and gently sucked the upper lip. Those succulent lips produced a never-ending elixir, sweet and filled with aroma.
He traced her lips, he traced her teeth.
He pried her teeth open forcefully and his tongue swirled crazily inside her mouth. His snake-like tongue entangled against hers, flicking it. He lightly bit her and pulled her tongue out in the open. Loud kissing noises resounded in the atmosphere, he kept her sucking her tongue and lips till Karuizawa's entire face was flushed red with embarrassment and exhaustion.
Only after a long while did Ryuji let her go, she panted and looked at him coldly.
"Don't try to cry to me about your feelings," Ryuji spoke equally coldly, "I told you the relationship between us is purely transactional. Focus on satisfying me and I'll make sure you remain as the queen of the class."
Ryuji knew exactly how to play with her feelings. He couldn't be overly gentle or caring at the start or Karuizawa would forever hold him in distrust. It was better to slowly gain her favor and gradually close the distance emotionally.
"I was already!" Karuizawa growled wiping her mouth, the lingering saliva made her disgusted.
"I'll take you further, Karuizawa." Ryuji went to the kitchen, "I'm not blackmailing you just for sexual pleasure. I need you to control the girls in our class for me."
"You beast! You're sick!" Karuizawa yelled in frustration, knowing if Ryuji forced her she'd have to betray her friends and help him ravage them just like he did to her.
It caused her heart to ache.
Ryuji paused, turning around and looking at her with a dumbfounded face.
"I don't mean sexually," he clarified, "This school isn't as simple as it seems. How many points do you have left?"
"Haa... So you're extorting me right now? First, you rape me and then rob me! How manly!" Karuizawa glared at him.
"..."
Seeing his continued silence Karuizawa lowered her head, "4,789..." She whispered softly, afraid he'd ask for it and she'd have to spend a week with no points. She might have to borrow from others then and that would hurt her reputation.
"How did you end up spending so much...?" Ryuji was genuinely confused. A 100,000 Private Points were basically 100,000 Yen and that equalled to 650$.
Karuizawa refused to answer and simply stared at the floor in silence.
"...We won't be getting any points next month, Karuizawa."
Ryuji laid the truth down casually but for Karuizawa it was no different than a bomb.
"W-What?" She stuttered out.
