How To Kiss
A Practice Session With The Konoe Heir



"Chamo, could you serious lay off please?" sighed Konoka as she closed her English notes out of frustration. "You're really starting to get a little pushy about this..."


Chamo took another puff of his cigarette before the heiress grabbed it from his paws and threw it out the window. He gave her an irritated look, but quickly cowered away at the almost motherly stare of disapproval Konoka shot back at him. "Just listen for a sec cuteness...all I'm sayin' is that it pays to be prepared..." he paused for a moment as she continued to eye him suspiciously. "I mean...you don't wanna scare feather head off with a bad one if you girls ever end up doing a pactio, yeah?"


Konoka suddenly blushed and looked away, falling silent for a moment as the little ermine laughed to himself. "Well...if you...put it like that, then I see your point..."


Chamo grinned evilly and twisted his paws together. "Good...now, listen carefully, cause I'm gonna explain to you how to lay down a smooch on sidepony like you've done it for years..."


Konoka turned back around and made sure to watch and listen intently as the little perverted ermine began to explain how to properly kiss Setsuna. He was sure to go into great detail, providing lots of drawings on proper technique as well as doing some self demonstration on the right positioning of hands. Konoka couldn't help but giggle at all of Chamo's awkward little explanations, smiling when she thought about how Setsuna would react if she was in her current situation.


'She'd probably turn bright red and start stammering some cute little sentence out about this not being appropriate for a bodyguard to do...and then she'd go all silent and look all awkward...damn she's cute...like ridiculously cute, it should be a crime...she's just going to have to be punished I guess...maybe I really can use Chamo's lesson to my advantage...'


"...and while all that's goin on, you gotta keep your eyes closed..." said the ermine as he began to finish up. "...cause it would just look creepy to be staring the whole time."


Konoka snapped out from her ever dirtying thoughts and looked back to Chamo. "I'm sorry...what was that last part?"


Chamo facepawed. "It's a good thing you're pretty...KEEP YOUR EYES CLOSED OR IT'LL BE AWKWARD!"


"Alright, alright, I got it...geeze..." mumbled the heiress as she made to get up out of her chair.


"Well...are you gonna practice then?" asked the ermine with a perverted glint in his eyes.


"If I did, do you think I'd want you in here watching..." Konoka quickly scooped Chamo up and brought him to the door, ignoring his begging to stay. "Nope...I'm sorry, but THAT would be creepy..."


"But Kono-..." was all the ermine was able to get out before the heiress closed the door, locking it so he couldn't get back in once she turned around.


Now it was time to get down to business. Konoka had to admit that she really did want to practice kissing, as she didn't want to make a fool of herself when the time actually came to lay a good one on her protector; although it had also occurred to her that Setsuna would probably be over the moon with even the smallest or lamest of kisses. However, if she was going to actually break away from her days of teasing the swordswoman and move onto something more, she wanted to do it in a way that Setsuna would never forget. Since she had no prior experience in this field anyway, practice was the only option she had.


She quickly looked around the room to see what she could use as a temporary Setsuna. At first glance, the heiress couldn't find anything that seemed to fit the feel she was looking for. Suddenly, something caught her attention from the corner of her eye from the top of Asuna's bunk. Konoka quickly made her way over to their bunk beds and climbed up the later to see what it was. A grin came over her as she found a plushy that the class rep had given her roommate a few weeks back to celebrate their "monthaversary", as Ayaka had called it. It was odd, but for some reason the stuffed doll sort of resembled her protector; what with its' semi-long black hair and dark looking eyes. Konoka shrugged as she picked it up before jumping back down to the floor. She then held the doll out in front of her and gave it the once over; something was missing.


'Hmmm...maybe if I...'


Konoka walked over to the coffee table and picked up a discarded hair tie that Asuna must have left laying on its' surface. She smirked to herself as she quickly shifted all of the doll's hair to one side before tying it up in a very familiar sidepony. Once completed, she held it out again to give it a finally once over. She laughed at how much it reminded her of Setsuna's mini self she used for patrolling and scouting. This was definitely going to be weird, but she was glad that her practice dummy at least looked like her protector.


"Alright...soooo, here it goes I guess..." said Konoka to herself awkwardly. "Do I just start or should I work up to it? This does feel a little weird now that I'm actually going to do it..."


The doll obviously remained silent and just looked back up at her, almost like it was waiting to get this over with. Konoka eyed it and decided that it would be kind of weird to talk up a doll, so she should probably just get right into it; besides, she already had talking up Setsuna perfected like an art form. She took a deep breath to calm her nerves, which she still found to be odd since it wasn't actually her protector, before closing her eyes and slowly moving in.


She felt her lips connect with the plushy softness that was the makeshift Setsuna doll, and felt her nerves slowly die down. Now that she managed to get the initial contact started, she began to go back through her head to everything Chamo had shown her. She brought her hand up to the back of the doll's head and gently pulled it closer to her, parting her lips as she did. She was surprised at how easy this deep kiss thing was, and almost laughed as she thought about how nervous she was when she got to thinking about doing this with Setsuna.


Meanwhile, Asuna was slowly making her way up the hallway after a long training session with Setsuna once classes finished that day. She was looking forward to finally sitting down and relaxing, thinking that Konoka had already began to make dinner. The swordswoman was right beside her, not feeling as worn out but definitely agreeing with the need for some relaxation time. A few feet away from the door, Setsuna noticed that her shoe lace to her training sneaker was untied so she bent down to tie it up. Asuna was about to stop and wait for her, but the swordswoman waved her off. Unfortunately for Konoka, Chamo had taken off from outside the doorway and there was no one to stop the red head from sticking her key into the slot to unlock then open the door.


"Hey Konoka...man, I'm starving..." began Asuna with her head still turned towards Setsuna down the hall. She slowly began to turn inwards. "...I hope you started din-...WHOA...UH...UM...WHOA!"


Konoka froze in place as her eyes shot open and straight to the doorway where her best friend was standing. The red head had just caught her in full make out mode with the Setsuna look-a-like doll and now she had no idea as to how to explain this. Before she could say anything, Asuna burst out laughing and took off down the hallway.


"SETSUNA! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE...THE LIPS ARE COMING FOR YOU!" shouted the red head as she tried to sound serious through her laughter. "YOU AREN'T GONNA SURVIVE THIS ONE BUDDY!"


"Wait what are yo-..." was all Setsuna could get out as Asuna grabbed her by the arm and dragged her down the hallway, still laughing hysterically.


Konoka had already dropped the doll and was out the door after her best friend and protector; red faced from embarrassment but also from laughing at herself. "ASUNA! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"
