You might be able to help? You know, you are right with what you just said and playing an electric guitar is just an amazing feeling, so if you think there is something you could do I'd be very thankful. At that moment Ryu hardly supressed a smirk at the thought that she may just used her even if it wasn't the case. Weird...

At the question about her siblings she thought about it for a second as her eyes met the ceiling before she looked back to Ishtar. I have an older brother, his name is Akio like this co-founder of Sony, but I don't know what he's doing at the moment. Most likely he is going to get a university degree of some sort to take over the place where my father works sooner or later. He must be about nineteen or twenty at the moment, I don't really care about him anymore anyway.

She giggled for a second as the rather serious thoughts passed by. Well, you could say we are just opposites. He is better than me at many things, Mr. Perfect so to speak. He humiliated me many times, but I don't blame him for what he did anymore, I never really did. Guess I can be glad about what things he did to me. Just to get rid of any confusion she quickly added something. Like, I guess I would never had signed in for Shokushu and never met you and many other friendly people, so everything is fine. He may be macho, mean all the time and even if we didn't talk since the day I left home I guess it had been the best childhood and adolescence he could serve me with.

Ryu laughed lightly again, but this time due to another reason while her hand travelled the way from her stomach up to her chest, then to her shoulder and towards her back. Why don't you tell me to shut up, Ishtar? I just keep talking all the time, silly... I ask too many questions, it's your turn, so is there something you'd like to know or talk about?

Don't worry about it, I like to learn about people. Especially those who are ....close to me. Ishtar hand reached out to grab Ryu's free hand and gently squeezed it. We could form a band if you want, that would give the opportunity to practice on the guitar. So what kind of music are you into. Ishtar really enjoyed spending time with Ryu, learning about her as she learned about the blue haired student. She could spend forever in her lover's arms.

Glad you consider me as a person close to you. She could only squeeze her hand gently in return as she moved slightly closer to Ishtar as her left arm wrapped around her waist and her hand began to brush against her skin. Sounds great, though it may be hard work to write song texts and stuff... Or we could perform some already existant things. You know what would be even better? If we'd have a drummer as well, we would be able to use a wider spectrum of performances. We could keep it a duo nevertheless.

Ryu didn't know a drummer at all, not at Shokushu, but the idea seemed interesting to make up something, even if they intended to perform in front of an audience sometimes. I am quite into Alternative and Punk music, though I have to admit I like to listen to Indie Rock sometimes. How about you? Guess that would help to find connections between our preferences.

Ishtar smiled as Ryu wrapped her arm around the blue haired student. Ishtar welcomed the warmth of her lover's body as it got closer. We will just have tow work on it together, it will be alot of fun. Your right though a drummer would be very helpful.

Ishtar thought about the red head's question. Hmmm, I like any music that has a good beat. I listen to alot of J-Pop as it was the easiest for me to get hold of, but I also listen to Alternative and Indie Rock.

Ryu thought about her words for a moment. Hm, maybe we could discuss everything later, I guess if we find at least one more person who is interested it will be a lot easier to organize everything. She smiled for a second as she noticed that Ishtar still seemed to enjoy her presence just as much as the redhead did. I think it's a great idea and it will serve us with fun and entertainment even if we won't find someone else.

Music seemed to be another thing they could about. I prefer music that seems to fit the song text, you know, like when it's a sad song and the tune suits it even if you can't explain why. Quite magical these things... She gave her lover a short kiss on the forehead as it seems to become an odd habit of them. By the way, do you have any good examples of J-Pop?

Then another thought popped up in her mind which was just fine for her. Sorry that I come up with these things now, I know after the stuff we've been through I may have asked these things earlier, but now it seems silent enough so we can talk after all. Because of that I'd like to know your birthday... if you don't mind.

Ishtar smiled at Ryu. The two had found a hobby that they would both enjoy. I agree we should have alot of fun with this band. So many decision to make with it.

Ishtar smiled again as her lover kisses her forehead again. It was always done so tenderly, it made Ishtar feel so special. Let's see there is L'Arc~en~Ciel, Uverworld, and I also like May'n's work as well. Do you have any particular favorites.

As the talk worked its way around to Ishtar's Birthday, Ishtar was happy to realize she knew the answer straight away. I was born on July 30. Which means I should ask you the same question.

Her thoughts turned around and found some of her memories stored back inside her mind. I listened to L'Arc~en~Ciel some times, the title 'Shine' is kind of interesting even if I don't understand the japanese parts at all... You might have realized that I just listened to it for the guitar solo. She added with a soft smile.

Yeah, well... I'd count Fall Out Boy as one of my favorites even if the songs seem depressing in a way. Let me see... I have to admit I have a weakness for Seven every now and then, the last one would be Green Day, I guess.

She gently squeezed Ishtar's hand again for no reason but the fact they still held each other together. May 12. Just one and a half months between them, that's quite pleasant if we mention christmas and so on. I wonder what I am going to give you, hm... Ryu mentioned with a teasing smile as if she meant something rather naughty.

Ishtar smiled as she Ryu squeezed her hand, it felt nice. It does sound wonderful, I'll look forward to it. Of course I will also have to be creative in selecting something interested for you. Ishtar other hand brushed the red head's soft hair.

Ishtar's head tilted a little. So what else should we talk about to get to know each other better, my love?

Red eyes focussed a random point at the ceiling before they returned to the blue haired student. You dream, do you? Of course you, everyone does... She said with an annoyed untertone towards herself for being dumb at asking a question.

Then she smiled again as she met the blue eyes of her lover before she expressed something with fondness. Dreams are gateways to other worlds. I know it's not a good question to get to know each other, but I'd like to know your dreams, what you dream, your situations and if you are someone else than yourself sometimes. It's impressive to get to know the dreams of someone else, the stories are very interesting.

Ishtar thought about the question. She brushed Ryu's long hair as she did so. I do have lots of dreams about all sorts of situations. But the most common intense dream I have had, is that of a princess. I keep imagine myself being sacrificed to save my kingdom. Sometimes, a dragon arrives and sets me alight, which usually wakes me up. However on occasion a knight saves me. When the knight does....well I guess it gets quite intense. Ishtar looks away a bit blushing in embarrassment.

Ryu smiled at her latest movement while her hand ran through her red hair. It seemed to be a rather teasing smile as Ishtar had stated such an intimate thought. My my... you are such a filthy young princess, Ishtar, having sexual intercourse with a knight just because he saved you. Her tone seemed to match her facial expression in every single way as the hand on Ishtar's back gently stroke her skin.

One more thing... Though her expression changed to her earlier one, her amusement remained about the idea of those dreams. Can you feel what happens in your dreams? I mean, it's like when you touch someone or something you can explore its feeling and surface as if it is right in front of you or like if something touches you so that you can feel it. Guess that'd be helpful with the knight around as well, eh?

Ishtar blushed as she teased Ryu teased her a bit. Well I am sure you will the knight next time I have that dream. She could feel her lover caress against her back and the warmth of her body. Ishtar was quite content despite her embarrassment.

Ishtar intently listened to the red head's next question. I can feel my dreams alot, although the nature of dreams menas that if can be confusing at times. I am sure if the knight was around in real life, it would make the dream that much better. Ishtar giggled at her own comment.

So what kinda of dreams do you have?

It's too bad it will be just my appearance but not myself, what a waste... Have fun with me anyway. She added with the same teasing tone but this time not as teasing as before. Ishtar's comment quite flattered her, but she didn't show it at all. But her words weren't meant to be serious at all.

It seems common that I dream about a dangerous situation most of the time, though the main threat always changes. My position is quite similar to the one of a knight, all the time I am the one who has to take care of monsters and so on, but I don't succeed every single time though I seem to be capable of almost everything.

Then she smiled again and continued to caress her lover's back. In case I am successful I get a reward, similar to the one your knight receives in your dreams.

Really, its odd. I had quite a few dreams about monsters recently myself. I don't really remember much about them except there was a terrible mix of emotions involved. Ishtar could feel the comfort of Ryu's caress on her back. It was very feel very reassuring.

If your are in my dreams, rest assured that you will receive a similar award. Because nothing is a substitute for the real thing. Ishtar smiled before kissing her lover on the forehead.

Ha, well... there are always emotions within dreams. Usually it's fear or sadness, but it's like you always know when you gonna wake up everything is fine even if you are not going to be happy or safe in your dreams.

Ryu listened to her words, smiling in response to the kiss. That's very kind, Ishtar. You should 'rest assured' that I am going to be the perfect knight if your highness needs to be rescued again.
