08.

A few times that night, Makoto attempted calling Kaede to talk about what happened with Izumi. But it seemed she either wasn't answering her phone on purpose or had turned it off. Makoto felt miserable not being able to talk to her, and wondered even more why Kaede had acted so suspicious when she left school. Izumi scared her and she wanted Kaede to comfort her, but it seemed like for the time being the kendo-girl couldn't be there for her.

She looked at the photo Maria had sent her of Kaede in the cat ears. It was the only one she had, other than Izumi's stalker kiss picture. But she couldn't look at that picture without getting a chill. Maria's picture was a bit grainy because the flash wasn't on, and slightly blurry. But Kaede still looked so cute in those ears. She looked at it taking what little comfort she could from it.

As she was gazing at it, she got an incoming call from a number she didn't recognize. Wondering if Kaede was calling from someone else's phone she answered it. Her heart dropped when she heard an overly cheery greeting answer her. At first she didn't recognize the voice, but after a few seconds she figured out who it was.

"Oh, it's you Fukui-san."

"Don't sound so disappointed. Where you expecting Ozawa-san?" Maria sounded slightly annoyed. "Anyway, after everything that happened today it seems wrong for you to call me Fukai-san… just call me Maria."

"Okay Maria-chan." Makoto felt slightly taken aback.

"No, just Maria. I don't like how honorifics sound after my stupid western name." Maria went on. "I'm named after my aunt who lives in Toronto. I've never met her, but my Mom says I act just like her."

"Oh…" Makoto didn't know what else to add to that other than the obvious question: "Your Mom is Canadian then?"

"Yep. Dad went to university in Canada and met Mom there." Maria explained in a bored voice, as if she had told the story five hundred times. "I was born here, but I guess I'm a duel citizen somehow."

"Have you ever been to Canada?"

"A few times. My English is barely passible so it can get boring when you can't talk to anyone."

Makoto paused, not sure what to say. "So… uh…"

Maria laughed. "You have no idea why I'm calling, huh?"

"Not really." Makoto admitted. "Is there a reason?"

"Well…" Maria's voice was quiet for an beat. "…I called for selfish reasons."

"What do you mean?"

"I talked myself into believing that I was calling to see if you were okay after what happened with that insane Kato girl. But really that was just an excuse. I got your number by chance, but I couldn't let the opportunity go to waste. I just… well I wanted to hear your voice is all."

Blushing Makoto was glad Maria couldn't see her face over the phone. "Maria, I'm dating Kaede-chan."

"I know you are. I'm not trying to steal you away or anything. I'm just indulging myself a little bit."

Now that Maria had flat out admitted it, Makoto felt even more uneasy talking on the phone with her. "Maria, I think you're a great girl, but I should go."

"Heh. Yeah, I guess I should have expected as much. I'm sorry, I don't mean to come off as creepy or anything." Maria sounded dejected.

"No, you're not creepy. It's just-"

"I understand, you don't want to lead me on or worry about what Ozawa-san might think if you were talking to me." Maria interrupted quickly. "Trust me, I get all of that. I think you're amazing for being so nice. I'll do my best to get over you so we can be friends, okay?"

"Alright." Makoto smiled. "I'd like that."

"Mako-chan." Maria's voice was slightly softer. "Thank you for not flipping out on me and being so understanding. I'll talk to you later, 'kay?"

"Okay." Makoto agreed and said her goodbye.

After the conversation with Maria, Makoto felt even more lonely. Kaede still hadn't called or left any texts. Groaning she went to her computer desk and did her homework with her phone facing her. When that was done she leaned on head on her arms and stared at the phone, willing for her the kendo-girl to call. But no such luck. It seemed that whatever was going on in her life, Kaede just couldn't talk that night.

Not giving up, Makoto took the phone into the bath with her again. She tried to take as long as possible washing so she didn't think about it, but once she was in the tub soaking, all she could do was stare at the phone again. What was she doing that was so important she had been ignoring her calls and texts? It really was starting to bother her now.

Then as if God took pity on her, her phone chimed as a text came in. Excited, she looked at the display screen, then felt deflated again. It wasn't Kaede, it was Maria again.

"Sorry. Can we talk some more?" Was what she wrote. Makoto felt abandoned at that moment but didn't want to give in so easily and give Maria the wrong idea. There was another text from Maria. "I'm lonely." That text struck a cord. She thought of Kaede's lack of response and it made her feel even more rejected. Another text. "I'll leave you alone."

Closing her eyes, hating herself for doing it, she texted Maria back. "We can talk for a little bit." As soon as the message was sent, the next moment her phone rang.

"Hey." Maria's voice sounded as soft as it did when she said her goodbye earlier.

"Hi."

"What's with your voice?"

"Huh?"

"There is this echo or something?"

"Oh, I'm in the bath." Makoto admitted, then immediately felt self-conscious. She had forgot she was in the bath.

"Y-You are?" Maria asked. "You're talking to me in the bath?"

Feeling uneasy, Makoto thought should it was a bad idea to keeping talking like this. "Yeah… Sorry, but this was a mistake."

"Wait." Maria stopped her. "Please don't hang up."

For some reason Makoto didn't. She couldn't think of anything to say, but she didn't hang up.

"Are you going to leave?"

Makoto looked around the bathroom, feeling uncomfortable. "I'll stay just a bit longer."

"I can't believe you're in the bath. I'm probably setting myself up for failure, but that's really hot."

"I was waiting for Kaede-chan to call." Makoto tried to sound calm.

"Do you often talk to her in the bath?"

"Sometimes." She admitted. If Maria thought Makoto was further along in her relationship with Kaede it might do some good. "Sometimes I just like to listen to the sound of her breathing."

There was a giggle from Maria. "You two make a cute couple. I'm really jealous."

"You really are, aren't you?" Makoto asked slightly more coy than she intended.

"Yes. She gets to hear you breathe… and talk to you in the bath. I bet you've even sent pictures to her too."

"Mmm Hmm." Makoto didn't know why she admitted to doing so.

"What did she say to that?"

"She called me crazy."

"Did she send you one back?"

"Nope." Makoto felt bashful. "I'd like one though."

"I wish I could see you now." Maria's soft voice spoke after a short beat.

Her heart thumping at the admission, Makoto felt that maybe the conversation had gone on too long. "I should go. It sounds like I'm leading you on."

"You're not!" Maria quickly said. "We're talking about Ozawa-san, remember?"

"You said you wanted to see me in the bath." Makoto reminded her.

"I said I wanted to see you… not that I wanted to see you in the bath." Maria spoke in what could only be described as a teasing playful voice. "I wouldn't dream of saying that."

Finding herself laughing a bit at that, Makoto raised her eyebrow. "Really now?"

"Oh yeah. I'm completely over you. Looking at you in the bath would be bad."

"It is bad." Makoto tried to focus. "I have a girlfriend."

There was a pause then Maria spoke again. "Can I tell you something embarrassing?"

"If you want."

"I'm laying on my bed right now with only my panties on."

Makoto heart really skipped a beat that time. "You shouldn't say things like that."

"You're completely naked so by comparison I'm the most modest." Maria said.

Feeling her breath increase, she decided that the conversation was really getting dangerous now. "Okay, I going to go."

"Wait." Maria said again. Somehow Makoto did has she was told. "I can hear you breathing."

"So what, I can hear you breathing too." Makoto mustered out flustered. She could indeed hear Maria's breath become more heavy.

"Was me telling you about my panties bad?" Maria breathily asked.

"You shouldn't have said it." Makoto was trying to calm down.

"Sorry." Maria whispered. "But I'm being bad right now."

Makoto didn't answer.

"Do you want to know what I'm doing?"

"No." Makoto's spoke in a slightly shaken voice. Maria was exciting her, and she felt ashamed of herself.

"I can hear your voice. You want to know."

"That's a lie."

"I'll tell you if you want. What I'm doing that is."

"I know what you're doing. Stop being gross!"

Maria was breathing in and out now in louder moments, not saying anything. Makoto stayed glued to the phone, wide-eyed. Why is she doing this? She shallowed trying to keep her breath in check.

"You're turned on just from listening to me, aren't you?"

Makoto didn't say anything, she couldn't.

"I'm thinking about how you must be so worked up in that bath. It's driving me crazy." Maria breathed in, then let out a soft moan. "I can hear your excited breath as you listen to me."

"Stop it, Maria-"

But saying her name was a mistake. Maria gave a squeaky groan then started breathing even heavier in a rhythmic way. She was moaning now and not trying to hide it. Makoto didn't need any explanation on what the other girl was doing. She was touching herself. The sensible part of her mind told her to hang up immediately. But her shaking hand stayed close to her ear and she listened to Maria pleasure herself. Makoto's body felt hot.

"You really like listening to me, don't you?" Maria gasped out.

"I don't. It's disgusting."

"You're lying." Maria went on. "I can hear you. You want to touch yourself too."

"I don't." Makoto repeated lamely. "I don't."

"You're so cute Mako-chan." Maria moaned. "Listen to what you're making me do."

"I'm not making-" But Makoto was cut off.

Maria's phone was taken from her mouth and and the moans got fainter. A small slippery sound could be heard in it's place for a few moments. Makoto let out an involuntary sharp breath in. Her lower body tingled. Then the moans got louder as Maria must of brought the phone back up to her ear.

"Did you hear me?" Maria's voice was strained. "I'm like this because of you."

"I-I'm going to hang up!" Makoto threatened.

"Just a little longer." Maria begged. "I wanted to hear you just a little longer."

"No."

"Say my name, Mako-chan. I want to hear you say it."

She was working herself to a fit. Makoto closed her eyes and could vividly picture the other girl alone in her room with her hand down her panties. "Maria stop it."

"Aahhhhh!" Maria squealed out. "Almost there… just say it again Mako-chan…Tell me to stop again."

"I'm hanging up now, Maria. Goodbye." But she didn't hang up. She waited and listened. Maria screamed and moan in a quivering voice.

"Mako-chan…" Maria's voice was groggy sounding. "Mako-chan…"

Makoto hung up for real this time. What had she done? She purposely allowed herself to say Maria's name that last time. She wanted to hear her orgasm. And now that she did, she was worked up, turned on by another girl who wasn't her girlfriend. She felt like filth.

Feeling a tear roll out of her left eye, she screamed at herself and jumped out of the tub, and reached the shower nozzle. She turned it as cold as it could possibly get and poured the icy cold water over her head. The frozen water took her breath away and her body involuntarily gasped out in a sense of protest and agony.

I deserve this! What did I do? I enjoyed hearing her masturbate. And I even helped her. What's wrong with me? How could I do this to Kaede? Makoto sobbed, and continued to torture herself as she poured water over her head, her body shaking in violent shivers. I hate myself!
