Ishtar felt wonderful as Ryu kissed her on the check. Her lover's comment only confirmed the wonderful moment the two were sharing. I love you too, Ryu. Ishtar lay on the bed in a state of bliss.

It was then that the red headed knight, laid her head on the blue haired student's chest. Ishtar felt really special, as she brushed the knight's hair with her hand. It was a wonderful moment she would always treasure. She would make sure of it. It was wonderful, better than any dream I could possible imagine, my knight.

Ishtar brushed through her hair so tenderly, it felt like she was in heaven, likely a place she would love so much that she hates to leave sooner or later. Why yes, it is an honor to receive such praise, princess. She turned her head a bit, her eyes glanced up at the blue ones she desired to see as often as possible as a faint smile appeared on her face. But it didn't matter whatever she thought, there were still things floating around in her mind she would have to take care of.

How do your dreams end, Ishtar? You know I am not able to stay around here for the rest of the day... Her tone was kind and soft with a slight sign of anxiety, possibly because she would have to leave in a while. There were things they would have to talk about, their leisure, their classes, the monsters who are always around and most likely their relationship in detail. Ryu reached with her hand, it traced her side and brushed her cheek once as it stayed there for a moment, awaiting the student's answer.

Ishtar smiled as she continued to brush Ryu's fine red hair, it felt good to have her lover lying on top of her like this. The beautiful red head look up with her lovely red eyes and gave the faintest of smiles. But it that smile that Ishtar found so cute, it was worth it just to see that smile.

They kinda end like this, in my lover's arms. Ishtar rubbed her head against Ryu's hand. She didn't want this moment to ever end, but she knew at some point it had to come to an end. They would have to quit being a princess and a knight and return to being students again.

Hm... Ryu looked up into her blue eyes for a moment before she kissed the soft skin of Ishtar, she purred a bit like a cat who just got comfortable with her place. After a moment she broke the contact and caressed the student's cheek while she leant in and rubbed her head against her palm. Of course her movements had been subtle as if she was a fragile object of some sort with high value. You are so cute when you behave this way.

It took her a moment to rise her body and let her hand slide off that beatiful face of her lover. Ryu slowly crawled to the end of the bed and sat down on the edge. Such things were new for her, for example the time she would have to leave, her behaviour may not be accurate but it didn't matter as she began to put on her panties and turned her head a bit. Ishtar? Would you be so kind and assist me with my bra?

Ishtar smiled as Ryu kissed her again, it really din't matter to the blue hair student where Ryu kissed her it was just to great to be so loved. Thank you, my knight. I wish this moment could last forever. Of course she know it couldn't, but life would never allow that to happen.

Even as Ishtar thought that, Ryu slowly moved off of her and got up. The red head looked so beautiful in the light sitting at the edge of the bed. Slowly she began to clothes on, as she did so she requested the lioness's help. Sure, I would love too. Ishtar moved behind her lover and she hooked the back of the bra together.

Ryu knew that Ishtar was behind her even before she hooked her bra onto those weighty orbs, but this fact made everything so much better. She leaned a bit backwards as Ishtar did what she had been asked to, her back brushed her chest for a moment before she returned back to her earlier stance and stood up slowly. Thank you very much, sweetie. She bent down a bit to pick up her skirt and began to put it on, just so her blouse could follow, so did her socks and shoes after a moment.

The red head needed to leave, the finals wouldn't stop coming closer while they were having the time of their life and she would like to have her marks improved. Then Ryu turned to Ishtar again, a faint smile on her face that made her look like a cheerful and cute little girl sometimes. Is there anything I can do for you? I intend to leave if you don't mind, so please don't be disappointed. She mentioned with a slight bow towards the blue haired beauty.

Ishtar smiled as Ryu leaned backwards against the lioness one last time. It was nice to feel her warm one more time before she had to leave. Still Ishtar could admire her lovely body a bit while longer as the red head put on the remainder of her clothes.

The lover turned to face Ishtar one last, she gave a faint smile that was made look so cute it would melt any heart. Ryu bowed a little towards Ishtar, and Ishtar returned the bow. Just that you don't stay away too long, my dear. I will be here for anytime you want.

Ryu began to consider the time they could meet without any trouble. Would you mind to meet me again after the finals? I wouldn't like to return until these things are over, your beauty would simply distract me. It would serve enough time to study, this time alone though Ishtar had mentioned to help her, but she wanted to get higher final marks and then the blue haired student would be the last one she needed around.

The faint smile changed to a gentle smirk, she would rarely use her smile as it expressed pure bliss and joy alone. Just in case you don't mind. I will drop by on occasion, probably the day we receive our test results. Is that a problem? It may take five days to a week until this may be the case and Ryu doubted that Ishtar would forget about her in such a short amount of time, but if she did then she would be happy to restore some of her missing memories.

I guess I can wait that long. Ishtar sighed, realizing that she would not see her lover in a while. But Ryu did had a point, the two would only distract each other from studying. And that would definately wreck their scores.

However, all sadness went away when the red headed beauty smirked. The promise of Ryu's return was all Ishtar needed to here. That return would be something Ishtar would greatly look forward too. I would like that, I would like that alot.

Great! I promise I will return, but I intend to keep the exact moment as a secret. The wheels in her head had been spinning, working on a plan already though there were many other things she would have to think about. Ryu kept her cheerful expression as long as she could as she turned and opened the door slowly as if she didn't want to go, just before she grabbed her bag in a smooth motion and placed it on her back.

Don't forget to study, Ishtar. It would be a shame if your marks drop just because of me or someone else. She turned one last time as she offered Ishtar one last, faint smile and waved once. See you soon. Then she turned again and walked into the hallway, the red head closed the door in a slow pace and left it shut. Once after she had checked that nobody else was around she slowly disappeared out of the corridor, hardly trying to think about her studies and not about the girl she just left behind.

Fortunately the finals were over at this point, straight one week after their last meeting. It was quite annoying to write so many exams in a row, but it seemed necessary for the administration to keep the student under pressure. Or at least this year because it was Ryu's first, and not to mention the week before where they wrote a few as well, so the week wasn't as troublesome as expected. However, the red haired student posessed an advantage other didn't posess, a lover called Ishtar. She gave her the motivation to actually study for this short time which gave her better marks than expected. The two had one class together, and the book club of course, but these two didn't give her much time to talk and after all they tried to avoid each other until the end of the finals. Ryu almost couldn't stand the anticipation.

It was a late afternoon, but the sun stood still high which gave the two enough time to share for the day, and at least the weekend free to do what they wanted. Ryu intended to go to the tracks and secretly hoped that Ishtar was in her dorm room, whether or not she remembered the student, she was going to meet her again. She was already dressed in her gym clothes, which partly was against the rules, but the sports field was always close so it would give her some time. A few corridors and the familiar feeling surrounded her already as she made her way to Ishtar's dorm and carefully knocked at the door.

Ishtar heard a knock at her door. The blue haired student had just gotten back from her own exam and wasn't expecting anyone. Still this was a welcome surprise. One minute. Ishtar quickly went to the mirror and made sure she was ready to have guests over. After the student was absolutely sure she was ready, she walked over to door to let her guest in. It turned out to be someone that Ishtar was very happy to see, as her face lit up in recognition. Though their time together had been brief, it was intense, and that had burned into the Ishtar's swiss cheese memory. It was her lover, the beautiful Ryu. Ryu! I've missed you!

In the doorway she stood, having a faint smile on her face which was likely the one that suited her the best. Ryu leaned forward a bit as her hand reached up to the girl's cheek. "I would still miss you if I didn't come here.", she said as her hand slowly slid down again. A moment later she crossed her arms in front of her chest as they pressed against the white t-shirt, raising an eyebrow as she investigated her lover thoroughly. "I bet you had no time to make your hair?", she asked a bit teasingly, though the blue haired beauty looked as beautiful as always it was obvious that she just came back.

She spread out her thumb and forefinger as she pointed at Ishtar while she winked at her. "That's great! I was just about to ask you if you want to go to the tracks with me." The red head quickly adjusted her stance to glance down shyly as her index fingers slightly prodded against each other in a slow and steady motion. "As long as you are interested..."

Ishtar smiled as the red head beauty suggested to go to the tracks. Sure, let change clothes real quick and I will join you. Normally Ishtar wouldn't have thought about going to the tracks, but she wanted to spend more time with Ryu, and the weather was pretty nice for a jog.

Ishtar turned so her back was facing the door as she headed over to her dresser as she was began to take off her shirt. She put that shirt aside as she reached into drawer to get her gym shirt.

As Ishtar accepted her offer to go out she was fairly happy, the nice weather led the most lazy students to the beach so they could likely hang around all by themselves. Ryu closed the door behind her as she walked in, but turned to face the door so her lover could have some privacy.

"I bet you look very attractive in your gym clothes. Others must be fairly jealous when they see you.", she said as her mind began to wander, waiting for Ishtar to finish and to have the whole afternoon for themselves.

Ishtar changed quickly into her gym clothes. Compared the school uniform, the gym clothes were quite simple affair. A white t-shirt and a short pair of dark blue shorts were the majority of the outfit. Ishtar checked herself out in the mirror to make sure everything else. I try, but I am sure I am not the most attractive girl in her gym clothes. You look quite fetching yourself. Ishtar smiled as she turned around. Well I am ready to go.
