A misunderstandment? (for zxn666)

After the match

Antonina got into the changing room, hauling Chigusaâ€s arm across her shoulders and helping her in as well. It was late, and the room was empty. The last match, having Chigusa in it, had been the nightâ€s main event, and there would be no more fights for the night, so it was unlikely that someone was going to show up in there.

Antonina went in a corridor of lockers, moving Chigusa towards a bench between them. Even though she was the one helping Chigusa, that match had left her pretty worn out, and various spots on her back were aching and bugging her. She wanted to relieve herself of the weight; she felt like she would fall down if she didnâ€t. “Come, sit here.” She motioned to the bench, with her chest heaving.

Chigusa held onto Antonina tightly after the end of their match, tired and worn out to the point where she could barely even stand. She followed Antonina into the locker rooms, and finally sat down on one of the benches. Chigusa let out a short sigh, nearly flopping down onto the bench and going to sleep, but kept herself upright and alert.

"Thank you Antonina," Chigusa said. She could tell that her opponent was just as tired as she was. It had been a punishing match for both of them. "Sit next to me Antonina, you look like you could use a rest too."

Antonina quickly accepted the invitation, and sat next to Chigusa. She had been on her guard since the start of the match, and now she stretched her legs with a sigh, relaxing in front of Chigusa for the first time - even if it was out of pure fatigue.

After that unguarded moment, she sat properly and noticed that now they were all alone in the room. She wanted to talk to Chigusa and, although doing so in a deserted place should be easier than right in the middle of an arena, she didn't know what to say. A moment went past, with the silence only being broken by the girls' breathing. "Um... Chigusa..." Antonina said, then stopped mid-sentence, looking at the lockers in front of her. She said that to get Chigusa's attention, but didn't have anything else prepared to say.

"Hm?" Chigusa said when Antonina said her name. Then she realized that she was still wearing Antonina's jacket. "Oh yeah, here," Chigusa said, undoing the jacket's buttons and taking the jacket off, and handing it to Antonina. "I don't need it anymore," she said, "I mean, we're in private now." She stood up with a little bit of difficulty, and opened her locker, which happened to be right next to where they were sitting.

"Time to get this off," Chigusa said. She reached behind her back and began to slowly unzip her ripped up top.

Antonina's jacket fell onto her hands, and she looked at it. Sweaty as she was now, wearing it again wouldn't do any good. So, not needing it either, she threw it aside and looked up again, just to see Chigusa's torn top and a portion of her skin. That sight made her feel - strange - somehow, and her a light blush took over her face. She stared at her turned back for some time.

Chigusa's torso was almost completely bare when Antonina got up from the bench. She was now determined to say what she felt. Her hand landed on Chigusa's naked shoulder. "Chigusa, I -" then she stopped again. This time, however, it wasn't because of shyness; she had just heard someone running, and as the sound broke the silence it became obvious that the person was getting closer!

Chigusa had just taken her top off when she felt Antonina gently touch her shoulder. "Hm? What is it?" she said, putting the torn top into her locker while she spoke. She turned her head slightly to see Antonina's faintly blushing face. "Is she embarrassed by me undressing in front of her?" Chigusa thought. But then she heard footsteps coming closer, and suddenly became alert as well. She didn't know who it would be, since they had the last match of the day.

"Chigusa!" a very familiar voice called out. Megumi suddenly burst out from the door leading out of the locker rooms and ran over to her friend. "Are you ok? You're not hurt anywhere, are you?" She began to touch Chigusa's body as if checking if anything was broken.

"I'm fine!" Chigusa said, shoving Megumi, "Stop being so touchy-feely Megumi, there's someone else here!" She began to blush a little as well, crossing her arms in front of her chest. Megumi turned around, and noticed Antonina for the first time.

"Oh... Well hello there," Megumi said. She held out her hand. "Megumi Mutoh, pleased to meet you!"

"Ah!" Startled by this new girl suddenly appearing and running right towards them, Antonina quickly took her hand off Chigusa's shoulder and put it behind her back, getting a flustered face all of a sudden. She stared silently, like a small child, at Chigusa and the other girl touching and shoving each other around. Finally, Megumi talked to her. "Antonina", she said as she shook Megumi's hand. Her head, however, was still hovering over the scene from before.

A thought flew through her mind; she looked straight at Megumi, as if she had just snapped out of a trance. "Are you Chigusa's girlfriend?" She gushed out. The idea had come so suddenly that she didn't even think whether asking this would be appropriate.

Megumi had quite a few questions for Antonina, but before she could ask them, Antonina suddenly asked a very perceptive question. "Ah, well," Megumi said, "I guess you figured it out, eh?" She laughed a little, blushing slightly. Chigusa tugged a little on Megumi's shirt to get her attention.

"What is it?" Megumi said, turning around. She saw Chigusa blushing deeply, hands crossed across her breasts tightly.

"You actually told her..." Chigusa said, eyes looking down in embarrassment.

"It's not like it's some kind of secret Chigusa," Megumi said, shaking her head, "Quit being so embarrassed about it!"
