Interruption to a Bath
by Haruha_Raharu

Keitaro quietly slid open the door way to the hot springs. It was slightly past midnight and the one time of the day when he could safely enjoy the bath area, and he didn't want to wake anybody up. Clad only in a towel wrapped around his waist, he approached the water and gently eased his body in, finding a comfortable place to sit with the water reaching up to about his belly button.

"Ah, that's the stuff."

It wasn't often that he got to take advantage of the Hinata Inn's hot springs, even if he was the one who had to take care of it. Keitaro let all of his muscles relax, letting the warmth wash over him. Being the fall, the water wasn't quite as hot as it could be, but it was still pleasantly warm. He closed his eyes and let his mind wander. Soon, he was dozing off...

Keitaro suddenly snapped to attention as he felt the water reach his open mouth. He discovered that he had fallen asleep and had slowly sunk downwards, deeper into the water. He raised his torso back to its original position and tilted his head back, wondering how long he had been out. Without a watch or a clock in the springs, it would be impossible to know unless he left. His mind wasn't fully back on-line yet, and he actually thought it might be a good idea to keep sleeping, so he didn't try to think too hard...

"Onii-chan?"

Ketaro jumped again, this time almost out of his skin. He opened his eyes and directed them at the source of the voice. Sitting just to his right was the nude body of a brown-eyed, black-haired girl. He was fully awake now.

"Kanako?"

"Are you okay, onii-chan? I was worried when you started slipping, but I didn't want to wake you..."

"What the heck are you doing here?"

"I noticed you coming out here and wanted to join you." Kanako smiled slyly, like a naughty child who knew she had done something wrong but was refusing to acknowledge it. "You don't mind, do you?"

"Of course I mind! Look, Kanako, I know we used to do this when we were kids, but..."

Keitaro looked at his sister as he spoke. He had never told her, but he really liked how her hair looked. It was tied back into a ponytail like it so often was, while in the front, her bangs and the two long strands that reached down to her neck framed her cute face. Whether from lack of development or just genetics, her breasts were still relatively small, having just enough shape to indicate her femininity. He could clearly see her small pink nipples above the water, erect due to the coolness of the night air. Keitaro's vision flowed downwards, but he was disappointed at the water that obscured his vision. He wondered whether she had started growing hair down there yet...

Wait, what was he doing? What was he thinking? That wasn't what was important now.

"Anyway, you should leave."

Without warning or hesitation, Kanako reached out with her right hand and grabbed his penis.

"Wha-"

"Onii-chan, look. I don't think you want me to leave."

Keitaro's face reddened. All that staring and wondering had stiffened his penis to the point that it was already sticking out from the top of his towel by the time Kanako had lunged for it.

Kanako scooted herself next to her brother until their sides were touching and began to move her hand up and down in soft, slow strokes. Her fingers barely grazed over the surface of his skin, providing only just enough pressure to entice him. Each time her hand reached the top, she roughly and quickly dragged her thumb over the entire top of the glans. The hand movements caused the member to stiffen even more, reaching its full size in no time. Kanako brought her face Keitaro's ear.

"Does it feel good, onii-chan?"

"...."

Keitaro had no answer to that. It felt incredibly good, far better than he could have imagined, but he couldn't possibly admit it. No, he had to stop this, he had to push her away, but already, the pleasure had made his knees and mind weak. He could only tightly shut his mouth and try to suppress the moans his little sister was inducing from him.

Seeing him struggle like this made Kanako even more enthusiastic. She used her left hand to turn his face and began to kiss him. She forcefully shoved her tongue into his mouth and let their tongues intertwine and mingle. Keitaro didn't kiss her back, but he lacked the will to resist. He couldn't believe just how quickly he had given up total control of the situation to his sister. But a growing part of his mind told him that that wasn't such a bad thing... indeed, when else had he ever felt so good? But no, no, no, this was still wrong, that's why he had never accepted Kanako's advances before, and that's why he mustn't do so now.

Kanako's right hand began to move faster. She put more force into her fingers, tightly squeezing the glans as she moved in rapid, short strokes at the top. The water in front of his abdomen that used to be calm was now considerably more violent, with waves hitting his stomach at steady intervals.

"Ah! Ka...nako..."

Keitaro broke off their kiss, letting out an insuppressible moan. He didn't know why or how she was so good at this, but the feeling that her swift hands were causing in him was so sublime, it was making him involuntarily thrust with his hips to meet her movements. In no time, he was at the brink, just a few strokes away from reaching climax. Against the waves of pleasure constantly hitting his brain, Keitaro tried to fight back with whatever willpower left within him that kept telling him that this was wrong. Suddenly, as if reading his thoughts and relenting, Kanako stopped moving her hand and let it rest on his pelvis, still around his penis.

"Kanako? Wha...?"

"Hmm, would you like me to continue, onii-chan? Didn't you want me to leave?"

The same sly smile from before crept into her mouth. Keitaro looked back nervously as she spoke. She had stopped, just as he had wanted, but the result was not what he had wanted, and they both knew it. Seeing Kanako so eager to please him as well as just how good she was at it, it made him wonder if he had been wrong all along. But most of all, he knew that letting her stop right now was sure to make him go crazy. Knowing that he might regret it later, but also knowing that he would certainly regret it now if he didn't, Keitaro decided to throw his inhibitions to the wind.

It was Kanako's turn to be surprised as Keitaro suddenly grabbed her face and brought his own to it. She was taken aback, but quickly reciprocated, kissing back. She opened her mouth slightly and let her tongue dart in and out of his mouth while his did the same. After a long moment of this, they disengaged. Breathing heavily, they stared into each others' eyes for a few seconds before Kanako spoke.

"That's a very good answer, onii-chan."

She winked at him before dunking her head to right where her hand had been. Keitaro felt the head of his penis become engulfed. She was fast, but also careful, letting her lips become flush with the tip of his penis and sliding down to just below the glans. The inside of her mouth was hot, much hotter than the water had been, and she applied a light amount of suction. Her slippery tongue assaulted the glans from all sides.

Nothing could have prepared for the pleasure that assailed him. The jump from moments before when Kanako had purposefully ignored him to now was enormous, and he knew that there was no way for him to hold on for long. Normally, he would reach some sort of plateau before finally being sent into climax, but this time, the pleasure rushed right past it and straight to the end.

"Kanako, I can't..."

Keitaro muttered out as her treatment pushed him over the edge surprisingly quickly. With his right hand he tightly squeezed a clump in Kanako's hair as he felt the first load travel up his penis. The volume was more than he could ever remember from before, and he found himself wondering when his penis would stop firing. Kanako eagerly swallowed all that came out, timing her swallows to match each load as they came in pumps, decreasing in volume at every iteration. After a few moments Kanako finally disengaged, her lips gliding back up the same way it had come down. She came up and took one last gulp before letting out an exhausted breath. Her drenched face, plastered with her wet hair, showed him a cute smile while he still recuperated from the intense orgasm.

Both of them panted for a while, never taking their eyes off each other's, before either of them spoke.

"Did that feel good, onii-chan? Did your little sister make you feel good?"

Keitaro would've blushed at Kanako's casual mention of their relation if his face wasn't already red.

"Yes... Kanako, that felt unbelievably good."

Kanako leaned her head against his shoulder feeling his fast-beating heart and still heavy breathing. She took hold of his right wrist and brought it between her legs.

"I'm glad, onii-chan. But... please..."

Kanako said with some desperation in her voice while looking into Keitaro's eyes.. Indeed, while she had been servicing him from the very beginning, her own needs had not been getting any attention.

Keitaro was a bit hesitant. After all, how could he match what she had just done? He found himself surprised that that was what caused him to be a bit nervous, not all those thoughts that had told him stop just a few minutes ago. Indeed, once he decided to stop listening to the voices telling him to stop, he had found that everything they were doing couldn't feel more natural. Kanako was truly his "lover," and the fact that he was his "sister" seemed irrelevant.

Through his palm he could feel the thin, short patch of hair that was growing above where her legs met, answering that question that he had wondered to himself earlier. Slowly, he groped around with hand, curling all of his fingers and spreading apart her labia with his index and middle fingers. He could clearly feel the stickiness that was coming from within and coating his fingers. With some nervousness, he slowly stuck his forefinger between the lips and into her waiting vagina.

"Mmm... onii-chan..."

Kanako let out an involuntary moan. Her swollen genitals had become very sensitive, and even just that had sent a small shock through her body. Or maybe it was because it was him, doing what she had fantasized for so many years. It didn't matter.

Encouraged by her reaction, Keitaro stuck his finger in deeper and started to scrape the walls. He was surprised by how slippery the orifice already was and how easily his finger was welcomed in. He slightly bent his forefinger, but he was careful not to let the nail touch her with too much force. Just bending his finger was a little difficult, as the tightness that squeezed around him didn't allow for much movement.

"Mmm... ah... mmm."

Kanako's hot breaths ticked his chest and arm. Her eyes were shut and her hands were still holding onto his arm, squeezing more tightly. Seeing her like this, he felt happy, proud even.

With his forefinger in to about the first joint, he felt a fleshy nub against his palm directly below that finger. He decided to stop his ministrations inside her vagina and concentrate on that instead. He immediately pulled out and put his fingerprint right on the clitoris and started to rub it in a circular motion.

"Ah!"

Kanako suddenly flinched, her legs creating a violent wave that propagated throughout the spring.

"O, onii-chan, not so rough!"

She opened her eyes and looked up at him. Through her still wet hair, Keitaro could see tears welling up in her eyes. He slowed down and reduced the pressure that went into his finger.

"Heh, sorry Kanako."

Keitaro's smile was apologetic, but there was also a hint of satisfaction to it, as well.

"Here, why don't we try this."

With that, he took his right hand out from its position between his sister's legs, turned to face her, grabbed both sides of her hips, and brought her butt up onto the rocks at the edge of the spring. Kanako squealed in surprise at the sudden initiative, but she made no move to resist, although she shivered a little from having her wet lower body exposed to the air. Keitaro gently grabbed her shoulders and pushed, easing her down so that her back and head were flush with the ground. He then took hold of her knees and separated her legs, allowing him to get a good look at her privates for the first time. He marveled at how puffy the labial lips had gotten, but it was the swollen clitoris that peeked out from between the folds that caught his attention. As he could have guessed from feeling down there before, the only hair was aforementioned thin patch of short hairs in the frontal region. Kanako's face reddened.

"Kanako, you're so cute down there."

Keitaro said as he moved his body on top of hers so that his face was just below her neck. He blindly reached down with his right hand, using the inside of her left thigh to guide it to the spot where it had just been, before he pulled her out from the water. But instead of going back to her clitoris, he again stuck one of his bent fingers into her vagina, this time with his middle finger.

"Mmm, really, onii-chan? That, makes, ah, me, so happy, to hear it from you"

Kanako replied, gasping for breath as Keitaro's finger rubbed her from the inside. With glazed eyes, she looked down over her chin at him.

"Yes. It makes me want to look at it more and more."

Keitaro lowered his head and started suckling on her right nipple. He alternated between sucking while holding it between his lips and flicking at it with his tongue. At the same time, he tried to let his forefinger join his middle one, but the size of the passage was making it so that he could only progress in a little bit at a time. He straightened his fingers and pushed them in and out, letting them go in a little deeper at every pump. Kanako bit down and tightly shut her eyes, trying to suppress the squeals and moans that his service was causing from her. She spread her legs even farther in order to let him get better access to her insides.

Thanks to the lubricants already overflowing from within, Keitaro eventually managed to get his index and middle fingers in all the way to where they met the palm. There, he stopped for a moment, letting Kanako catch her breath. Having regained her self control a little bit, she raised her hands and put them into her brother's hair and softly pulled his head to her left. Keitaro understood and took his mouth off of her right nipple and moved onto its twin, while also bending his fingers and resuming movement. Kanako smiled, looking down at her brother concentrating so hard on pleasuring her. His constant flicks on her nipple gave her a strange pleasurable sensation, and his crooked fingers rubbed all the right spots inside her. She once again threw herself to the pleasure, shutting her eyes and letting her head bend backwards.

"Mmm... Ah.... Nnnnn... Onii-chaaaan...!"

She tried to whisper, knowing that if she put her voice into it, there was no telling how loud the resulting sounds would be. Urged on by her moans, Keitaro bent his fingers even more and increased the speed of all of his movements. Lost in her pleasure, Kanako tightly grabbed onto his hair, and dug into his scalp with her nail. Keitaro smiled inwardly as he was reminded of the exact same thing he had done to her just a few minutes before.

Abruptly, Keitaro stopped and backed off. Air rushed in to fill the gap that was created between their bodies, and Keitaro's hair slid easily through the surprised fingers of his little sister.

"Onii-chan?"

Kanako opened her eyes and tried to look down, but before she could realize what was going on, her body twitched from a sudden pleasurable sensation emanating from between her legs. She tightened her eyelids and tilted her head back again. She couldn't see it, but she could plainly feel that he had cupped the front of her genitals with his mouth and was mercilessly attacking her clitoris with his tongue.

Not really knowing what he was doing, Keitaro flicked up and down, left and right, encircled clockwise and counterclockwise, trying to maintain some semblance of a rhythm and never letting it lose contact with some side of his tongue. His breaths that came through his nose caused her now dried pubic hairs to bend back and forth. Like Kanako had done for him, he applied suction through his mouth. Keitaro gladly swallowed whatever liquids came between his lips, being careful to make sure that the ministrations of his tongue never stopped or slowed down.

Faster than his fingers ever moved inside her, his tongue rubbed all parts of the most sensitive part of her body. Unlike the more dull feelings from before, the feelings sent to Kanako's brain were sharp, intense bursts of pleasure, causing her to quickly reach her limits. Losing her ability to control it, as well as her ability to care about it, she let out ecstatic screams from within her throat.

"Oniiiiii-chaaaaan... Ah... I'm coming... I'm coming, onii-chan!!!"

She reached down with her hands and clawed them into Keitaro's head once again and pulled his head further into her body as she felt her orgasm hit her. The pleasure flowed from between her legs up her body through her spine to the back of her neck, from where it emanated outwards to her extremities. Her toes curled against the hard rock that made up the floor at the hot spring, her fingers locked themselves into her brother's hair, and her spine curved back, raising most of her torso off of the floor, with her feet and the back of her head supporting her entire weight. Her vagina constricted tightly, a fact that Keitaro could notice from the sudden rush of juices that flowed out and into his mouth.

"Mmmm..."

Kanako moaned huskily as she rode out the waves of her orgasm. Her body had tensed for a few seconds, but it eventually relaxed and went back to its original, more comfortable position. However, and she didn't know whether to be happy or not about this fact, Keitaro did not let up, and his tongue was moving as rapidly as ever. Her clitoris was much more sensitive than before due to her orgasm, and the rubbing of his tongue against it was so intense that it was almost painful, but that fact also made it all the more pleasurable. She didn't know whether or not to tell her brother to stop.

Soon enough, the decision was made for her, as she felt herself reach the breaking point once again. This one didn't have the ferocity of her first, but she wasn't complaining. Kanako let it take its course, letting out irregular gasps and enjoying the feeling of reaching her peak again. She tried to relax, her muscles tired from when she had froze before, but she couldn't help digging into her brother's head once again, as well as curling her toes against the hard stone floor of the springs. Her breath stopped for just a moment before she came back down to Earth. After this one, she knew she couldn't let him continue the rough treatment.

"Onii-chan.... Please... Stop... It's too much... It hurts..."

Kanako pulled upwards on his hair that was still tangled in with her fingers, breaking the contact between Keitaro's mouth and her pelvis. With her fingers still entangled in his hair, she slowly pulled his body out of the water and on top of her again, but this time so that their faces were next to each other.

"Sorry, Kanako. I didn't know I was hurting you."

Keitaro looked at her, scared that he might have done something to make the experience unpleasant for his little sister.

"That's okay, onii-chan."

She reached up and gave him light peck on his lips.

"Because. That. Felt. Really. Good."

Kanako spoke, quickly repeating a quick peck between each word. After finishing the sentence, she kept her face up for a longer kiss, opening her mouth and poking her tongue into his mouth. Keitaro kissed back and let his tired tongue spar with the intruder, while Kanako wrapped her arms around his back.

"Are you sure you're alright?"

Keitaro broke off the kiss and looked at her with concern.

"It's fine. It only hurt because it was too good."

She smiled up at him, happy to see him worry about her so much.

"But, it's a little cold out here. Can we go back into the water?"

"Why don't we go inside?"

"No... I don't think I'm finished with this bath quite yet."

Keitaro backed off, and both went back to the positions they had started in, sitting against the side of the spring with Kanako at his left. Keitaro didn't have much time to relax and re-acclimate himself to the warmth of the water before Kanako, just as abruptly as before, leaned forward and grabbed his penis which had grown hard during his process of eating her out. But unlike last time, there was no sense of awkwardness or discomfort.

"You have to stop doing that."

Keitaro joked as they smiled at each other.

"I think, before we leave, we still have to take care of that, onii-chan."

Kanako picked herself up from the water, turned around, and put her hands on the edge of the spring. Supporting her lower body with her feet, she raised it out of the water so that the water's edge reached up just above her knees. Keitaro didn't need any more coaxing, and after seeing that, he moved deeper into the water to situate himself behind her.

"Onii-chan... please... fuck me."

Kanako turned her head, looking into Keitaro's eyes as she spoke. She reached back with her right hand and guided his penis between her labial lips and into the opening of her vagina.

"Mmf!"

"Ah!"

The siblings moaned as the tip started to make its way inside. Keitaro remembered how tight it had been when his finger was within before and knew what to expect, but feeling it directly, it was even more intense than he had imagined. Despite the tightness, he found that inserting his penis came rather easily. Maybe it was due to all the lubricants she had produced before, as well as the water that had surrounded both their genitals until just moments ago. Gently, slowly, he pushed in with his hips, letting her vagina suck in his penis little by little until it had been swallowed to its root.

"Mmmmm... onii-chaaaaan...."

Kanako moaned in satisfaction as she felt herself filled up completely by her brother. It wasn't like the pleasure she had felt when he was servicing her with his hands or mouth, but just knowing that he was fully inside her made her happy.

"Ohhh... ahhh... Kanako..."

Keitaro felt overwhelmed by the slippery tightness that surrounded him. The tremendous heat was to the extent that it almost hurt, on a level completely different from being submerged in the spring or even when she had sucked on it under the water. Just as slowly as he inserted it, he pulled his penis back until just the glans was inside, before moving forwards again to the original locked-in position. Like that, he started to pump in and out of her.

"Ahhhh... Kanako, you're so tight... it feels so good..."

"Mm-me too, onii-chan... ah... mm... it's great... having you inside me..."

Both made soft, involuntary moans as the friction began to send pleasure to each of their brains. Kanako started to rock her hips slightly, matching his rhythm and going against his movements, effectively speeding up the motion. She tilted her head downwards and tightened her eyelids, feeling the pleasure start to build up.

"Mmm... nnn... please... ah... go faster... o,o,o,oniii-chaaaan...!"

Kanako begged, letting her moans gain in volume from the soft whispers of before. Keitaro was glad to comply and accelerated his hips steadily until he felt he reached a pace that he could sustain while still maintaining the range of motion. The squishing noises of their genitals mixing was not audible over the slapping sounds that reverberated every time the front of his thighs hit the cheeks of her butt and the sound of the water splashing about and hitting their bodies. Kanako sped up her hips as well, and the sounds of her moans were getting higher in pitch, having reached a volume slightly above speaking level.

Keitaro felt lost in the pleasure, the familiar pressure building up between his legs. But for some reason, he didn't want to end it like this. Stopping the motion of his hips and letting Kanako's small movements continue to pleasure the both them, he leaned forward and rested his chin on her shoulder.

"Ka... Kanako...ah.. this is no good... I want to feel closer to you...mmm... I...I want to see your face."

Kanako was shocked for a moment and stopped moving, which let the pleasure that was growing within both of them halt and slowly shrink back. She twisted her neck and tried her best to face him.

"Haah... of... course... onii-chan... I... I want to hold you... too..."

She roughly pushed back with her butt, sending both of them a quick jolt of pleasure before the force pushed Keitaro out of her. He stumbled a little and almost fell backwards into the water.

Kanako giggled at the sight before picking herself up. Placing her hands on his shoulders, she gently guided him down and to the edge of the spring so that he was sitting down at the edge again, submerged to just above his belly button.

She faced him and straddled his legs before bending her knees and ankles until she was resting on the lower half of her legs. Kanako kept both of her hands on his shoulders and lowered herself slowly onto his penis. When she was sure that the tip had found her entrance, she took all of her strength out from her limbs and let gravity take its course.

"Mmmf"

The two moaned in unison. Kanako looked down at Keitaro and spoke before using the muscles in her legs to start moving up and down.

"I love you, onii-chan."

Kanako spoke with a bit of nervousness. She had said this countless times before, but it was the first time she said those words tonight, and the reply that she might or might not get scared her.

"I love you too, Kanako."

Keitaro responded and reached up with his head to kiss her, even while her rocking turned her face into a moving target. He wrapped his hands around her torso. Her small breasts scrunched against his chest, and their skin was flush against each other all the way down the front, at the loins, and even the legs. They continued to lock lips, as Kanako's movements brought them both to the point where they had been before they had disengaged.

"Mmm.. o...onii-chan... it feels so good!!"

"Ka, na, ko... hah... Kanako...!"

Their kiss was interrupted by both of them being unable to suppress their moans. Keitaro separated his hands and slid them down to her hips, while Kanako put more weight on her hands that were on his shoulders giving her the leverage to move even more rapidly. She was completely lost in the pleasure now, and even though the a part of her brain told her to slow down and savor this moment for which she had waited so long, she knew that that wasn't going to happen.

Seeing Kanako's face contorted in pleasure, hearing her voice call out to him, all that would have been enough, even without her vagina sending him electric waves of pleasure through his body every time hers fell onto his. Each pump had him thinking that nothing could possibly feel better than this, and each next one proved him wrong. The pleasure was quickly approaching critical mass, and Keitaro did his best to hold off the inevitable, wanting to see his sister reach climax before he did. Fortunately for him, he didn't have to wait long.

"Onii-chan... I'm gonna come... You're making me come, onii-chan...!"

She tightened her grip of his shoulders and tilted her head back, letting out a long high-pitched hum as her orgasm burst its way through her body. All of her muscles convulsed for a second before suddenly tightening. She dropped her body, impaling herself as much as possible, before stopping all of her movements altogether. Her breathing stopped as well, cutting off her humming halfway.

The walls of her vagina trembled a little before tightening around him, taking Keitaro's pleasure to yet another level. Barely lit up by the dim light overflowing from the main building, Kanako's tensed up body, damp from sweat and the splashing water, looked truly beautiful. Seeing before him this sight of her lost in ecstasy, unable to help squeezing his shoulders tightly enough to make him hurt, Keitaro finally reached the point of no return.

"Agh... Kanako...! I'm coming!!!"

He moved his hands off of her hips and back around her waist, putting his head up against her neck. He thrust upwards with his hips and held his body flush with hers as he felt a load travel from his body and burst inside her vagina. The intensity of the pleasure so strong and only getting stronger each time his penis twitched to ejaculate more of his semen, Keitaro wondered if this was similar to what Kanako had felt when she told him that he was hurting her.

While Keitaro was still in the middle of orgasm, Kanako resumed breathing and started to gasp for oxygen. She removed her hands from his shoulders and wrapped her own arms around his neck, pushing their bodies into each other even harder. To be able to hold him like this while he was drowning in the ecstasy that she had given him, this was what she had wished for from the very beginning.

The spurts of semen eventually stopped, and Keitaro regained his composure as well. He lowered the strength he had put into his arms and backed off of Kanako's body a bit, prompting her to unwrap her own arms. He leaned back and rested on the side of the spring again. They stared at each other through tired eyes. Both smiled wearily.

"Kanako... that was... incredible..."

"Me too, onii-chan. I've never felt so good in my life."

Kanako used her aching leg muscles to pick herself up, and she sat down next to Keitaro once again. As she had said, Keitaro's erection had been taken care of and was back to its regular size. She clasped her left hand with his right and leaned her head against his shoulder, closing her eyes and enjoying the afterglow.

The two relaxed and caught their breaths for a bit before either of them spoke again.

"Kanako, why don't we get out now?"

"Mmm... I guess we should. It's getting late."

Keitaro groped around the spring a bit before he found the towel that he was wearing before, while Kanako went into the changing rooms first. When Keitaro had finished changing and had gone out into the hallway from the changing room, Kanako was already waiting for him. Her face had an air of nervousness about it.

"Umm... onii-chan... about what you said in there... you really meant it, right?"

Keitaro's heart had skipped a beat when she asked him that question. With the passion of the moment having died down, for the first time, it had given him a chance to logically inspect what they had just done. He and his step sister had just... but well, it had definitely been quite fun... and he did care for her. Strangely, he didn't feel any of the regret that he had predicted he would feel before. His head was just jumbled in a confused mess, and he decided to come out with that honestly.

"I love you, you know I always have... and I don't regret what we did... but still... you're my sister."

"So... even after all we did, are you saying that you can still only see me as your sister?"

Kanako's shaky eyes started to glisten, gaining in moisture. Her lips trembled slightly, as if she was about to cry.

"Kanako."

Keitaro suddenly pulled her body against his, giving her a tight embrace.

"Idiot, that's not what I'm saying at all. Please forgive me for being like this, Kanako; I'm just very confused right now, and I don't really know what I feel... I don't know if I want us to be what you always wanted us to be... but I can tell you one thing, I see you as much more than my sister..."

Keitaro tried to choose his words carefully, wanting to be honest while still not hurting Kanako's feelings. Kanako shoved her face into his shoulder and return the embrace. The dampness of her hair and face transferred moisture to his shirt, but her warmth was pleasant. Like that, they held each other for a few seconds.

"It's okay, onii-chan... you can take your time... just, as long as tonight doesn't become a one time thing while I wait."

Kanako backed off a bit and looked up into Keitaro's eyes before speaking. Her smile was weak but genuine, even as the tears that had welled up in her eyes started to escape down to her cheeks.

"Of course."

Keitaro returned with a more open smile.

"I hope you don't mind keeping it a secret for now... I'm sure you'd love to rub this in everyone's faces."

"D.. don't make fun of me! I... well, you're right, I'd love to see the look on Naru-senpai... but I care about your feelings too, onii-chan."

"Heh, I know, I know."

Keitaro laughed at the little burst of anger that came from his sister.

"Well, we should go to bed now if we don't want to oversleep."

Holding hands, they walked up to the second floor where their rooms were. Kanako went into her room first, giving him a light peck on the lips before sliding shut her door. Keitaro walked to his room and laid out his futon to sleep. The past... well, he didn't even know how long they had been in the bath... had been exhausting for him, and he just wanted to collapse. His mind, too, was tired from all the contradictory thoughts that had sparred within it. He would have to deal with his and Kanako's feelings tomorrow, but for now, he just felt happy being able to make Kanako happy. Content, his mind once again drifted off into sleep.

----------
This is my first foray into any sort of fanfiction. Kanako was always my favorite of the Love Hina girls ever since her introduction, and I didn't like how few stories about her there were here. I've never been a writer, but I decided, what the heck, why don't I give it a shot writing one myself?

I couldn't tell you where or if this story even fits into the timeline, but I didn't consider continuity with the original story to be too important. I meant for this story to be a set piece, something that just stood on its own, but as I got to the ending, I found that I couldn't really find a good way to put a cap to it; maybe that's why almost no one has tackled the KanakoxKeitaro pairing; too many issues. As far as I know, the only other story here on aff that has this is the 6th chapter of Uncontrolled Passions, and that one has Kanako fooling her brother into it, with Keitaro getting pretty upset when he finds out the truth.

Any criticism is appreciated, although I'd prefer constructive ones that help me become a better writer. I had a lot of trouble with the entire ending sequence, the denouement after the sex scenes finish. For the sex scenes, I tried to emulate the ones from the stories in here that I liked, but I don't know how well they came out. I personally find them a little slower than I'd like them to be, but I'm not sure about which details to omit in order to shorten them.

EDIT:
I looked back at the manga and the anime and noticed that Kanako always calls Keitaro onii-chan, not onii-san. So I decided to correct all that.
