Miko didn’t remember exactly when she started doing this. As innocent and cute as anyone could be, she would seduce any girl she fancied. It was easy, really. She was irresistible when she tried. And then, at the tipping point, at the love confession, Miko would progressively become distant. She would toy with their feelings until they had nothing left to give and discard them. This was a horrible habit. A terrible thing to do to someone. But she couldn’t stop herself. There was no better feeling than being desired so desperately.
Her latest victim had been her long-time best friend Pekora. What a thrill that was. The high lasted months while she squeezed the poor girl dry. Some of the things she made Pekora do were truly shocking. She was a shell of her former self now, discarded and broken. But not even she could match the next target Miko set her eyes on. This was no doubt the hardest hunt of her life. And the most dangerous, too.
Hoshimachi Suisei.
Just thinking about her made Miko’s heart beat in a frenzy. Suisei was stunningly beautiful, ambitious and competitive. Most importantly, she hated losing. That made her a terrifying opponent. But Miko had no choice, no one else could give her what she needed anymore. No one but Suisei. Miko had been working to get inside Suisei’s head for weeks now. She had to become the only thing Suisei desired. With any luck, today would be the day. The tipping point. The point of no return.
Miko was watching the cafe’s door from a secluded alcove in the back. She couldn’t have picked a better spot for a date. Brrr brrr. She snatched her phone and saw a message.
“On my way! See you soon <3”
Miko smirked. That little text had pumped her full of adrenaline. This was it. Any moment now, Suisei would sit in front of her and spill her heart out. Miko leaned back in her chair, bathing in the afternoon sunlight coming through the cafe’s large windows. This did little to calm her down. Before long, she heard the door open. Suisei walked in, looking distracted with her phone in hand. She quickly made her way to Miko’s table. Suisei received the sweetest, cutest smile imaginable as a greeting.
“Adorable as always!”
Suisei looked characteristically calm, but behind that expression Miko could see fiery determination. This was as intimidating as it was exciting.
“Hey~ that’s your catchphrase, don’t use it on me.”
“I’m sorry Mikochi. I can’t stay today. Some of my friends decided to drop in on me unannounced. They’re throwing a party at my place. Want to come? It’s gonna be fun I swear!”
“Eeeeehhh?”
No! No no no! This isn’t what was supposed to happen. Think fast! What should I do? Yes? No? No means I’m not interested in her. No destroys weeks of work. Is this on purpose? Did she outmaneuver me? I have to say yes.
“Yeah sure!”
I hate this, but it’s the only play. She’s really forcing my hand.
“Cool, let’s go, the Uber is still waiting outside.”
And so they left the cafe. The moment they were outside, Suisei locked her arm with Miko’s as if they were a couple. How bold. Why is she doing this? Not that I mind, this feels… good.
“Maybe I’ll tell them you’re my girlfriend, Mikochi.”
Suisei looked at her with a dumb grin on her face. Miko blushed like an apple, ripe and ready to be picked.
What the fuck? This is the kind of thing I do. Why is she doing it to me? Why is it working on me?? Miko mumbled something unintelligible which made Suisei laugh. Suisei’s cute laugh that deals direct damage to my heart. Miko was losing. Hard. She could only hope that this party would present her with opportunities to regain control of the situation. As things were going, Suisei was the one likely to get the love confession first. Maybe this is what she wants.
I played with fire again, Miko realized as they got in the Uber, flashbacks of burning her Minecraft house down in her head, and I’m not good with fire.
Suisei was no mere fire, but an inferno.
Finally here, Miko thought as they arrived at Suisei’s front door. What an excruciating ride . Miko had been overthinking every move, matching Suisei’s assault of affections without looking more interested than her. With other people there, she would be able to hide in the shadows and strike when advantageous.
Miko stepped into Suisei’s apartment with a sigh of relief. She immediately felt that something was wrong. She couldn’t hear anything but the girl behind her. No signs of life inside. Not one soul, not even a big sister. With an ominous click, the door closed behind her.
Shit shit shit shit shit.
Miko turned to face Suisei. She couldn’t even say anything, having come to the realization that she was tricked. So easily, so naturally. She gave Suisei a look of awe.
“I win.”
That’s all she said before pinning Miko against the wall.
“I must confess, I’ve never been seduced so thoroughly.”
Suisei’s face was inches away, her breath overwhelming Miko’s senses. She struggled to no avail.
“You can’t escape me.”
Suisei kissed her straight on the lips. Miko melted on the spot, her struggle now forgotten. She accepted that this time she wasn’t the hunter, she was the prey caught in a deadly trap. She made her peace as Suisei roughly grabbed her by the collar and dragged her towards the bedroom.
A total defeat.
“I’m well connected as I’m sure you know. I’ve been talking to your... victims. Learning about you, about what you do.”
“Ah…”
Suisei kicked the bedroom door open and shoved her prey inside.
“You really are something else, you know? Despite all your sins, I still want you.”
Suisei flung her in the bed face first.
“But you’ve been a really bad girl.”
Suisei was on top of her, ripping off her clothes.
“Yes…”
“You must be punished for what you’ve done. Tell me you want it. Beg for it.”
Miko begged.
Miko woke up in pain. The events of yesterday flashed into her mind. She opened her eyes, already hungry for more. Lying next to her, looking straight into her corrupted soul, was her captor.
“Good morning, Mikochi.”
“Goo-”
Miko felt Suisei’s finger touch her lips and instinctively shut up.
“Your punishment will continue daily.”
Miko nodded.
“Go clean yourself, you smell like my saliva.”
Suisei handed Miko a towel as she got up. Miko ran to the bathroom, butt naked.
In the shower, Miko reflected on her situation. Maybe deep down she had always hoped that someone would stop her. There was a certain peace in atonement. Besides, Suisei was very good at punishment.
