On a warm afternoon day, two young women faced each other on the rooftop of their school, the sun shone brightly below them as the pool water reflected the sun. There was a gentle breeze around them as the growing plants danced along with the wind.
A young woman named Kurumi Ebisuzawa stood tall as she wore a red and white two-piece swimsuit, green cotton knee sleeves were around her knees with silver pads covering the front and finally a brown belt with a silver buckle was around her wrist with two brown leather holsters on her thighs and two water guns secured. The confident and feisty woman continued to stand tall as both her hands remained at her side, she continued to stare down her friend in front of her as she felt her hands twitch slightly but knew not to draw yet. A determined expression was etched on her face as her mouth was set in a thin line, her eyes remained focused ready for anything.
Another young woman who goes by Yuri Wakasa stood perfectly still and calm, she wore a wide beige sun hat with a white ribbon that was tipped over her face, she was wearing a green two piece swimsuit with a brown belt along with a silver buckle around her wrist and finally a brown leather holster rested on her right thigh with a water gun secured and three purple water balloon resting on her left one. The calm and confident woman continued to stare her friend down under the brim of her hat, a smile etched on her face as her hands remained by her sides ready for anything to happen.
The air was tense as both young women stared each other down but finally Kurumi broke the silence.
Kurumi: Hey, I have one last question for you before we start...
Yuri: What would that be?
Kurumi: You seem to be a very talented gunslinger, any aliases I should know about?
The soft spoken and calm woman giggled at this as she tipped the brim of her sun hat, a smile graced her lips as her hand slowly went towards the holster on her thigh with the sun shining behind her.
Yuri: Oh, perhaps~
Kurumi narrowed her eyes towards the woman as her hands slowly hovered by her holsters, she cracked her neck and fingers as her eyes solely focused on the gunslinger.
Kurumi: I'll make you talk one way or another, let's see what you got...
Yuri: Wait, I have a question of my own for you...
Kurumi: And what's that?
Yuri tipped her hat with her thumb as her eyes shined brightly with determination and mischievousness, her fingers slowly flexed as a smirk graced her lips.
Yuri: Are you feeling lucky, partner?~
With those words spoken silence consumed the pair as they entered a stare-off, each of their legs and feet framed the other as they both firmly stood tall.
Kurumi had her eyes narrowed on her friend turned opponent, she had an intense look as her fingers wiggled by her holsters on each of her thighs waiting to draw at a moment's notice. She looked towards her opponent, waiting and focusing on any type of movement.
Yuri's face was calm as her eyes focused and concentrated on her feisty opponent, she wasn't worried or intimidated since she had something up her sleeves. Her fingers calmly wiggled over the holster on her right thigh ready to draw, just like her friend she waited for any moment to signal the showdown to begin.
Kurumi furrowed her brows and spat to the side, still staring down the gunslinger in front of her even more. Her fingers wiggled randomly and slightly faster just wanting to draw already but needed to wait for the right moment, she felt the sun reflecting on her body as the tension caused a bead of sweat to go down the side of her cheeks.
Yuri put a lollipop stick in her mouth as her eyes remained focused, she chewed on the stick slowly with her right eyebrow raised teasingly and her stare slightly became more intense. She gently and smoothly wiggled her fingers patiently like she was in no rush, her long hair gracefully swaying in the light breeze as a bead of sweat also went down her cheek, she was in a state of concentration as she was looking forward to soaking her friend down.
Kurumi licked the bottom of her lip as her eyes were squinted, her smooth fingers rubbed against her palm before she bawled them up into a fist near her holsters, her hand suddenly shooting open as she flexed her fingers far, loosening the joints and cracking them. Her eyes occasionally twitched as her long pigtails blew gently in the wind, she slightly parted both of her lips as she took small breaths getting ready for the battle to start. Her fingers continued to wiggle even more as they moved in random directions, not wanting to lose this water duel and come out on top.
Yuri spat the stick out her mouth, the sole of her feet crushed and shifted it on the ground as her eyes slightly squinted and stared down her opponent further. She playfully and calmly continued to wiggle her fingers as she lets out a small smirk, her other hand reached for the three water balloons strapped on her belt as her light pink fingernails gently tapped on them one by one, wanting to see which balloon she'll start throwing first while her other hand slightly moved towards her water gun.
The breeze continued to gently blow their hair to the side as the growing plants also danced along as well, two of their friends Yuki Takeya and Miki Naoki stood to the side as they watched the stare-down the pair were doing. Yuki was shocked as Miki wondered what these two plan to do.
Both young women continued to stare at one another as their hands slowly approached their respective holsters. Kurumi rested both her hands on each of the handles of her water guns, her thumbs slowly stroked and drummed against the handle while her fingers were wrapped around and gripped her weapons tightly. Yuri gently rubbed her thumb on the handle of her own water gun while her other fingers gently squeezed the water balloons as her fingertips slowly and rhythmically drummed against it. The pair were ready, but Yuri broke the silence.
Yuri: Let me tell you two useful pieces of information before we start. One, you may be proficient at your dual wielding style, but you're going to rapid fire at me wasting each of your ammo, one by one~
Kurumi looked down towards her water guns in shock as she then looked back up towards the gunslinger as she spoke once more.
Yuri: Two, I do have an alias and that is "The Balloon Bomb Sorceress"~
With that both girls drew their respective water guns and fired at one another, they dodged and ran all around the rooftop trying to spray each other with water. At some point during all of the chaos Yuri threw two of her water balloons towards her opponent as she avoided the upcoming strikes, "The Balloon Bomb Sorceress threw one more water balloon towards Kurumi as the feisty young woman fired her water towards the upcoming balloon.
The two then ran towards the pool with their respective water guns in each hand.
Kurumi: Final Round!
Yuri: Bring it on!
The two jumped towards the pool as they looked at each other with a smirk on their faces before falling in the water. A big splash was heard as Yuki ran to see what had happened.
Yuki: Ri! Kurumi! Are you two ok!?
It was silent for a moment but all of a sudden, the two young women came out of the water and had their respective water guns pointed at one another.
Kurumi: Got you now!
Suddenly water sprayed towards Yuri then at Kurumi as a sudden voice yelled out.
Miki: You're both getting carried away!
The pair laid on the surface of the water with smiles of content on their faces.
Kurumi: Sorry...
Yuri: I got carried away in the heat of the moment...
In the end it was a tie but both girls at least had fun in their water fight.
Hope you guys enjoyed this little story. Tell me what you think and if I should do more like this.
