Okay, so I know it's been a while and I am so sorry! It's just everything has been so hectic for me lately, but I'm not here to make excuses.

So let me start by saying this, remember this is a M-rated fanfic. There is a reason for this, which shows in this chapter. I'm not really sure how good it is, and honestly, I can't say it's something I'm proud of (in terms of writing, not content), but hey. For those who want to skip this chapter because of this or just are dissatisfied with the scene (trust me, I won't get offended if you are), I'll leave a sparknotes version of what happens at the end. That way, you can skip to the next chapter when it comes out and continue on with the story. I hope you continue to read my story despite this one and perhaps future chapters that aren't the best

Another thing is that I finally have some idea of what pairings I'm planning to have, but I will be keeping this a secret for two reasons. One is because I want the people reading this story to constantly be guessing, having their own spin on how it might end, and perhaps even surprise them in the end. The other is because nothing is quite set in stone yet, so I don't want to keep changing everything. Thanks to all of those who understand and still stick with me.

All of your support and reviews have made me very happy and eager to continue writing this story. I have to be honest though, this chapter isn't exactly my best work, like I may have mentioned or at least insinuated above, so please bear with me. Please, if you have any advice, I'm more than willing to take it

Chapter 4

A Typical Night

As she rode her motorcycle on the night streets of Akihabara, Maki wondered what exactly it was she was doing with her life. This wasn't an uncommon thing for her. Even before she had gone 'missing' (apparently that's what everyone called it according to Kotori), Maki had sometimes wondered about what purpose her life truly had.

As the one and only heir to the Nishikino hospital, Maki had always been taught that she was to inherit her parents' legacy. It was her 'destiny', her raison d'être. She never complained, after all, what's wrong with being a doctor. Yet sometimes, Maki would think about the other possibilities around her, like being a musician or pianist. With her skills, it was definitely an option.

Maybe it was thoughts like these that the world had decided to mess up and ruin her peaceful life. Nothing could have prepared her for all that happened in the past year or so. If someone had told her this was how her life was going to turn out, she might've actually laughed out loud. Yet here she was, suffering all the consequences of something that she never had any say in.

Maki quickly shook her head, trying to stop her train of thought. Thinking about the past wasn't going to fix anything. Just bring back things better left forgotten.

Maybe it was because she had been so lost in her thoughts, but Maki found herself right in front of her destination in a matter of minutes. The place was a small apartment building, only about ten stories tall.

After parking her bike in a free space, she made her way inside to the lobby. A scruffy looking man at the counter didn't even spare her a glance as she walked right on by. He was obviously the concierge, but he didn't say anything to Maki as she made her way to the elevators. After all, this was about what, the tenth time he had seen her here.

It wasn't long before Maki found herself at the top of the building, facing a door that led to a complete VIP suite that took up the entire floor, built on request. Normally, it would be impossible to get in without permission, but Maki just opened the door like it was her own home and walked in.

"You know, you could knock."

The crimson haired woman turned to see who it was that spoke.

"Would it really matter? You were the one who left the door open for me."

The other woman just smirked. "Touché"

It fell silent for a couple moments, before Maki made her way to one of the leather sofas in the living room and the other followed.

"So why'd you call me here Yuuki?" Maki asked in an irritated tone, sitting down.

Anju Yuuki just smiled as she twirled her auburn hair with one of her fingers.

"Don't be so cold." she leaned, still standing, over Maki. "You should know already, right?"

Maki just glared.

"Last time I checked, you had a girlfriend, didn't you? Doesn't sleeping with a one night stand of yours count as cheating?"

Despite what she was saying, Maki pulled Anju closer to her, making the other woman lose her balance and end up sitting in Maki's lap.

"Doesn't really count as a one night stand if it's happened more than once." Anju answered huskily, moving her face closer to the woman across from her. "Besides, this relationship has been going on longer than me and Erena, so does it still really count?"

Maki managed to say, "I'm pretty sure it does." before her lips met the other girl's own.

Yes, she was sleeping with Anju Yuuki on top of many other girls. Something Kotori was very displeased with, Maki knew. Didn't mean she was going to stop any time soon. Besides, it wasn't never really her who asked for it. It was the other women around her who pushed themselves onto her. Who was she to resist. Whatever consequences their actions had wasn't her concern. Anju Yuuki was just one of these many girls who forced themselves onto Maki.

It had all started maybe a couple months ago, when Maki had somehow ended up Anju's 'girlfriend' to shoo away some fans who wouldn't leave her alone.

It was late evening and Maki had been wandering the streets of a distant city. It's been like this for the past month, ever since she moved here. Then at night, she would usually just go to a local bar, never actually ordering a drink, yet almost always going out with a woman on her arm.

It had been an impulse decision, but she just had to get away from her old home, distance herself from her old life, and forget who she used to be. She couldn't help but wonder what her old friends would've thought about her now. Broken and cold. She wondered what the person she used to be would've thought of her.

'Who I used to be, who I wanted to be, who I'll never be.' Maki thought bitterly in her stroll.

In her own world, Maki never noticed a certain celebrity make her way towards her until said celebrity latched onto her arm.

Surprised by the sudden contact, Maki saw a woman grabbing her arm, the woman not even facing her. She looked oddly familiar, yet Maki couldn't exactly figure out from where.

"Get o–" Maki was about to say while glaring when she was interrupted.

"I'm sorry, but this person is my girlfriend."

Maki blanched.

"What?"

Her own question was synchronized with those of the two older and obese men dressed in tight anime shirts and shorts who she just noticed. However, the auburn woman continued on like none of the three said anything.

"I know this is a surprise and all, but this is the person I am in love with. That's why I can't go out with either of you. I'm sorry." the woman said, looking up at Maki with a large smile.

Now Maki was faced with two options. Go along with what this crazy woman was saying or ignore everything that has been going and go on doing what she was doing. Now obviously, this woman was trying to avoid these two men without causing any serious trouble, but did she really have to choose Maki of all people?

Suddenly, Maki thought back to a time she would rather forget. She looked at the woman still grabbing her arm when she felt something. There was a slight tremble in the woman's hands.

Maki let a small inaudible sigh. She just knew she was going to regret this.

Maki extended the arm that wasn't being grabbed onto over the woman's shoulder, putting herself in a protective stance. The other woman seemed surprised by this action, but quickly hid it by snuggling herself into the embrace. She wasn't sure if the woman noticed, but Maki couldn't help but flinch a bit at the close contact. However, she ignored it and turned to glare at the two (obviously) otaku men.

This sent them stumbling a couple steps back.

"We're sorry, we didn't know." One said quietly, afraid of Maki.

"We'll be leaving now then." The other said dejectedly.

So the two men left, leaving only Maki and the other woman, still clinging on her arm.

"Get off of me. Now." Maki growled out.

"You're so cold Nishikino-san" The other woman responded in a more playful tone in contrast to Maki's cold one.

The crimson woman's eyes narrowed at that.

"How do you know me?" She asked suspiciously. The whole point of moving to this place was to get away from people that knew her.

"Ehh? You don't remember me?" the woman said, pouting.

Maki just glared, making the woman flinch a bit.

"And here I thought we were supposed to be famous." The woman grumbled out before answering. "It's me, Anju Yuuki. Remember, from A-RISE?"

Maki's eyes widened. Of course she remembered. However, her harsh expression didn't let up.

"I see." Maki then turned to leave, but was stopped by an arm grabbing her sleeve.

Turning around irritated, Maki scowled.

"What do you want?" She let out a bit more angrily this time. Despite this, Anju had a smile.

"Well you are my 'girlfriend'," Anju said, making quotation mark gestures with her fingers. "the least you can do is walk me back to my hotel."

Maki just continued to look at her angrily.

"And maybe, you could stay over?" the auburn haired woman suggested so innocently that Maki knew that what she was insinuating was anything but.

After that, one thing had led to another and Anju had become one of her many one-night stands. Well several night stands was more accurate, but those were just the details. Even after Anju had gotten a real girlfriend, her fellow idol group member, Erena Toudou, Anju had continued to call Maki every once in a while, asking her to 'come over'.

It wasn't until later in the week after she had first slept with Anju that Maki had learned that Anju was still in the entertainment industry. Now that Maki thought about it, she wasn't even quite sure how Anju had managed to get her number. It had been unexpected but it was about two weeks later that Maki had received a text from Anju, asking her to 'come over' again.

Along with her fellow A-RISE members from their school idol group, Tsubasa Kira, Erena Toudou, and Anju had continued to be actual idols. They had been an instant hit, with the help from their fans from when they were school idols. Apparently, Anju was the innocent princess type. Sweet and pure. Always smiling and nice to everyone, not to be tainted.

'I'm not really sure how accurate that really is, though.' Maki thought as she slid her tongue into Anju's mouth, hearing a low moan as a result. Anju was now lying down on the sofa they had been previously making out on with Maki on top.

Anju had one of her arms around Maki's neck as the other started to ruffle Maki's crimson hair, pulling it out of its one-sided low ponytail. Maki's own hand was roaming Anju's body as the other kept her up.

Maki moved her hands from Anju's waist, slowly up the sides of her stomach, before unbuttoning her shirt from the bottom up. Maki felt Anju slightly shiver when she took off the lacy bra the woman had been wearing, letting her hands explore the idol's body once more. This only served to make Maki deepen the kiss even further, completely dominating the other as their tongues danced to Maki's own melody.

Anju broke off the kiss let out a sharp gasp when she felt two fingers pinch at her nipples gently. Maki took this chance to move her mouth onto the auburn woman's other breast, at first gently flicking her tongue at the sensitive part of her breast before full on sucking it.

"Ah~! Nishikino-san~!" Anju moaned out.

Maki just let out a low primal growl as she continued to play with Anju's breasts, sucking on one and teasing the other with her hand, never quite touching where it's most sensitive.

"Please…" Anju managed to gasp out between breaths. "Stop…teasing me."

Maki let up on her ministrations, leaning up to say something into Anju's ear.

"Then tell me what you want, and I shall grant your wish." Maki quietly whispered as she continued to massage Anju's breast with one of her hands.

"I want you." The auburn haired woman said before letting out a loud moan as Maki pinched her nipple.

"You have to be more specific than that."

This time, Anju was unable to say it one breath as Maki continued to tease. Lightly pulling and twisting at the tip.

"I…want you…in me…" She managed to get out. "Please…" she added, desperate for Maki's touch.

"As you command," Maki let out a smirk "princess."

At that the crimson haired woman suddenly smashed her lips onto Anju's, sliding her tongue in without waiting for permission, as her hands moved from Anju's breasts to downwards.

They slid down her stomach to over waist, slowly pulling at the skirt until they were completely off. She then continued to snake her hands further down, gently rubbing through the thin underwear that was left.

Anju let out a low groan and gasped for air as Maki continued to tease, before finally sliding her fingers underneath. Maki then slid her face down to Anju's ample breasts, sucking at the nipple furiously, no longer caring about being gentle. With her hands, she continuously flicked at the small bean, making Anju let out a squeal of pleasure.

"Nishikino…san!" Anju yelled as she tightened the grip around the other's neck, slightly writhing from the intense feeling of euphoria overwhelming her.

Finally, Maki slid two fingers into Anju's now soaking pussy, feeling the soft walls squeeze against her digits.

"Ah!"

Maki slowly started two then thrust her fingers in and out, creating an uneven rhythm, constantly speeding up then slowing down.

"Nishikino-san!" Anju screamed out as she felt something stir up her insides, drowning her in ecstasy. "I'm…I'm about to cum!"

Maki said nothing, but took it as her cue to increase the tempo, pushing her fingers in and out faster than before. Listening the Anju's voice get louder and louder as the other reached the climax and feeling the walls of Anju's pussy get tighter, Maki knew it was only a matter of time.

Anju let out a loud scream of satisfaction as Maki felt her cum against the fingers inside her.

Slowly, Maki pulled out her hand out and started to get off from on top of Anju. The other girl had one of her arms on top of her hands, taking several breaths to take in as much air as she could, still lying on the sofa they had just did it on.

"Are you happy now?" Maki asked, showing no sign of fatigue.

Anju began to get up herself, reaching for the button-up shirt Maki had thrown off during their little session. Smiling, but saying nothing, she covered herself with the shirt and turned to Maki.

"…"

After a couple moments of silence, Maki just turned to make her way out of the apartment.

"Nishikino-san"

Maki stopped, but didn't look back.

"I'll call you again soon."

Not giving any indication of hearing what Anju just said, Maki continued to leave.

This was how it was always was. Short banter at the beginning, the sex, and then she would just leave. There was no cuddling or talking about their lives. This was a purely physical relationship. Talking would only get in the way of that. Occasionally, Maki would stay over if it's too late, but even then, they wouldn't say anything. Not even a light casual conversation about the weather. That's just the way it was with anyone who has ever slept with Maki Nishikino.

On her way out, Maki passed by the concierge at the front, not saying anything, but leaving a fifty dollar bill on the counter. After all, Anju was still a celebrity and rumours were the last thing Maki wanted. She didn't need the attention. The man didn't say anything. Simply grabbed the money and shoved it in his pocket as he watched the crimson haired woman he didn't know the name of walk out.

Maki got on her motorbike, quickly taking out her phone to check for the time.

'It's only eleven?' Maki thought when the phone started to ring in her hands.

She looked at the caller ID. Erena Toudou. Anju's girlfriend. The one Anju was cheating on. Another one of Maki's many one-night stands that had gone on for longer than planned.

Dragging her finger along the green button on the screen, Maki answered the call, but said nothing.

A few seconds passed, before Maki answered.

"Yeah, I'll be there in a bit."

Another moment of silence.

"Alright, I got it."

Maki looked at the screen, checking if Erena had ended the call. After making sure that she did, Maki sighed. Looks like she might not be able to be able to go back home after all.

'Let's just hope Kotori doesn't find out. She would kill me if she learned I didn't.' Maki thought as she dashed through the streets on her motorbike, heading to the home of one Erena Toudou.

This was a typical night in the life of Maki Nishikino.

So here is the short version of what happens in this story for all of those who want to skip the M-rated parts or just aren't interested in reading the whole thing.

Maki contemplates her life and how much it has changed since a certain incident while riding her (bad-ass (because I said so)) motorcycle to a mystery person's house.

Said mystery person turns out to be Anju Yuuki from A-RISE. Maki met with Anju while she was still 'missing' when Anju pretended Maki was her girlfriend to scare away two of her fans who were following her around. This led to Anju offering Maki to go back to her hotel and the two had sex.

Maki then also learns that Anju, Erena, and Tsubasa are still in the idol business and are now professionals in the entertainment industry.

After the first time, Anju continued to call Maki over and the two kept a physical relationship. Despite Anju always calling Maki over, Anju also has a girlfriend who doesn't know about Anju sleeping with Maki. Said girlfriend is Erena Toudou, a fellow A-RISE idol group member.

Maki and Anju has sex with Maki on top at all times.

After going at it, Maki leaves without really saying anything and Anju just says she'll call again soon.

Maki leaves the apartment, but leaves a 'tip' for the front counter guy in every apartment because she doesn't want any rumours spreading about her sleeping with a celebrity.

It's not really that late (in Maki's opinion) yet, so she's about to go back home when she gets a call.

It's Erena Toudou, Anju's girlfriend. Erena calls Maki over for reasons that should be pretty obvious by now. Maki says she'll be over there in a bit and then Erena hangs up.

Maki just sighs and hopes Kotori doesn't find out that she probably wasn't going to be back home that night.

Thus concludes the chapter span style="text-decoration: underline;"A Typical Night/span (in the life of Maki Nishikino).
