Bed Wrestling Revenge! (Akiko vs. Claire)

Claire had indeed been interested in fighting for a long time, though she had been rather meek and unassuming until she had gone to boarding school. She was very thankful, however, for getting the chance to move to Japan to fight in AFW.

When Akiko mentioned that she could see Claire getting into playground brawls, the schoolgirl got the sense that her friend might have thought it funny, but she would say nothing about it. She would, instead, focus on the question which the ninja girl posed to her about training at the dojo. “Oh, yeah! It was great,” Claire said with a smile. “Now that weâ€ve had our rematch, maybe we could spar there sometimes. Keep our rivalry going there, and then hang out sometimes outside of the ring and the dojo.”

The schoolgirl was really hoping that Akiko would want to meet up sometimes to hang out and get to know each other, even if she wasnâ€t interested in Claire romantically. Maybe someday… Claire thought wistfully.

Claire clapped her hands together, a happy and determined look gracing her face as Akiko agreed that they should try sparring with each other sometime. Their first two matches had been pretty even, and the schoolgirl anticipated that they would continue to be physical and tactical equals for the foreseeable future. “Alright! Next time I see you there, you better be ready to rumble!” Claire declared with a smile. “And a cosplay cafà sounds awesome! You have to take me there sometime. Maybe you could show me some of your personal library, too, since you got to see mine.”

When Akiko went on to ask if she could let her mother know that she was staying over, the black-haired girl smiled again and nodded. “Of course, of course. Go right ahead. And whatever clothes you need, I am more than happy to lend to you. Iâ€ll give you something cute.” She would giggle again and wink at her friend and rival.

“Great!” Claire said, happy to know that Akiko would be ready and willing to accept her challenge whenever she was ready to issue it. When the Japanese girl mentioned that she worked at a library, too, Claireâ€s eyes widened a little, getting a little excited by the prospect of visiting Akiko there. All throughout her childhood, the library had been her favorite place to be, and, ever since she moved to Japan to compete at AFW, she had missed it dearly.

Claire would watch Akiko walk off over to the bathroom, admiring the girlâ€s naked body, though, at the same time, she felt a little guilty, since she knew the ninja girl was not really interested in her that way. When Akiko got on the phone with her mother, Claire would roll over and sigh, waiting for her rival to get back and doing her best not to eavesdrop.

When Akiko came back and asked for some clothes, the American girl would laugh and get slowly to her feet, understanding what Akiko meant when she said it was weird to be walking around nude. “Oh, yeah, sure,” Claire said, walking over to her dresser and digging through piles of clothes. “I can lend you some pajamas now and some real clothes for tomorrow…uh, do you want underwear, too?” She glanced back over her shoulder questioningly.

Claire figured that Akiko would probably be okay with wearing her own underwear. She just figured she would ask. “Alright,” the black-haired girl agreed, watching the ninja girl out of the corner of her eye as she went around the room to find her bra and panties. When Akiko asked for some pajamas, Claire was happy to oblige, picking out a pair of black silk pajama pants and a white tank top and handed the two items of clothing to her guest. “I, uh, donâ€t really have any pajama shirts. I usually just sleep in the shirt I was wearing that day, or, well, without one, so…I hope this works.”

After handing those off to Akiko, Claire would get herself a fresh set of underwear and slip into it, before putting on a pair of light blue pajama pants and a deeper blue tank top. She turned to her rival and smiled. “Is this better?” she asked.

Once Akiko got back and suggested she might want to get to sleep, Claire shrugged and gave her rival another smile. “Uh, if you want to get to sleep, thatâ€d be fine. We can talk more tomorrow…I, uh, would love to be able to go and get something to eat in the morning, unless you have to get back home early.” She paused for a second, before continuing: “And I think it would be best if we just share the bed. I donâ€t want to force you to sleep on the floor or the couch or something. There should be enough room in the bed for us to both be comfortable, Aki.”
