Chapter 13

A Perfect Day

PinaPoe

.

"Well, you sure are chipper this morning. I take it you slept well?"

Ami had been wandering around the kitchen gathering things for her breakfast with a grin plastered across her face. Upon hearing her mothers voice she jumped a bit, but turned happy to see her. "Mom! This has to be the most time off you have had in… A long time." Ami purposefully didn't mention when exactly it was that her mother had taken more than a day off.

"Are you going to be spending the day with Umi today?" The younger Mizuno spoke in a sing-song voice, gently teasing her mother.

"Hmm, I might go by later today. But, no I have a few things I need to take care of before I have to go back to work." Ayanee downed the rest of the rice she was eating while her daughter set up some cereal for her breakfast. "And what about you, what has you grinning this morning?"

"It's Sunday of course! This is the only full day I get to spend with Juni." Ami replied quickly with a dreamy look on her face. This stayed on for the three seconds it took to realize who she was speaking to. "Well, Asagai-sensei is the only one who challenges me these days. School just seems to drag on, but the time I spend studying with her is worthwhile."

Ayanee now had a pretty good idea on what her daughters thoughts were toward her teacher. Still, she wanted proof before she would confront her daughter about it. That being said, she made a mental note to be there when Asagai-sensei brought her daughter home.

"What time do you think you'll be back today?"

"Uh… Before eleven?" Ami answered uncertainly. Her mother rarely if ever asked when she was going to back.

"Alright. Well have a good day sweetheart I'll see you tomorrow." The elder Mizuno gathered up her dishes and placed them in the sink before retreating to her room. She WOULD be there at eleven, and for Ami's sake she better be there as well.

"Grandpa Hino!!" The short haired genius waved to the spry old man who was happily chasing leaves around with a broom. "Good Morning."

The old man stopped his pursuit of the leaves and turned to greet his guest. "Ah good morning Miss. Ami. What did I do to deserve the presence of such a beautiful young woman at my temple this morning?" the old man finished his sentence with a familiar wiggle of his thick bushy eyebrows. As often as he did this it never failed to make the young Mizuno blush and smile.

"I was looking for Makoto. Is she here right now?" Ami looked around, expecting to see her friend tending the grounds like she always did when she was not at work.

"No, no the lazy bums always sleep in on Sunday. Sheesh just because you get the day off does not mean you should waste it away in bed." The old man paused for a minute before a lecherous grin spread across his features. "Of course, he's a "healthy" young man she's a striking young woman, perhaps I would spend all morning in bed. HA!! I'd never leave!!"

"GRANDPA!!" Ami turned beet red and tried to hide her extremely flushed face as the temple priest laughed maniacally for a few moments.

"Ooooh, maybe you should go get them. Wait for me though, I need to get my camera!!" As the old man scampered off, Ami quickly sprinted ahead to make sure she arrived at her friends room before the old man did.

________________________________________________________________ _

"Mmmmm, good morning flower boy!" Makoto leaned over and chastely kissed her friend as a morning greeting. After which she proceeded to stretch, quite purposefully doing it so her friend would have a perfect view of her naked body. Even though her teasing didn't affect him the way it would most men Makoto still enjoyed doing it. She suspected that her friend enjoyed it as well, which of course meant that maybe he wasn't immune to it after all.

"Good morning Mako. You are looking as gorgeous as ever." Knowing that she was trying to literally get a rise out of him, Fiore decided to best her at her own game. Slowly rising out of bed, the young man took his time in stretching out and making sure he was limber. Halfway though he even shifted to his true-form, which he knew drove his friend wild. After he thought Makoto had enough he turned to flash her a victorious grin, fully intent on letting her know he knew what she was doing and that he could do it too.

Naturally, he didn't expect his friend to tackle him onto the futon. Nor did he expect the flurry of kisses she smothered him with, or her overly flushed body, or Ami reaching to knock on an already open door.

Ami paused mid knock. She had thought that the old man was just joking, or wishful thinking, she didn't expect to see Makoto and, well she didn't expect to see her fully naked friend tackling someone to the futon. She wanted to leave, really she did. Her mind was telling her it was time to go, but for some reason she just couldn't move. Of course it could have something to do with Makoto's magnificently sculpted body on full display. It could have also been that the equally naked man that she was straddling had light green skin, pointed ears, and long color streaked hair.

"Hold on!! Wait for MEEEEE!!" All three friends broke from their frozen tableau as the voice of the old priest and the sound of his running feet sounded throughout the temple.

"Ah shit!" Makoto jumped up and ran toward Ami, who had no clue how to react. The larger girl pulled her into the room and hastily locked the door to prevent access to the perverted old priest.

Makoto stood there panting, her heart racing recovering from her spoiled morning tryst and the near discovery by the old man. That and the fact that her young friend was wrapped in her embrace with her eyes firmly locked upon the "man" sitting on her futon trying to cover himself up.

Ami, was fully aware of the alien looking man that Makoto was sharing her bed with, but right now she was more focused on the strong arms clutching her tightly, and the bare, ample bosom pressed upon her back. At this point red was not even the word you could use to describe the shades of embarrassment the young genius was turning.

She was finally overwhelmed when Grandpa Hino started pounding on the door pleading to be able to make their "threesome a more some".

Ami was just starting to wake up when she got an eyeful of Makoto's bare cleavage as the older teen was leaning over her trying to get her to wake up. When the young genius almost passed out again, Makoto realized that being naked in front of her painfully shy lesbian friend was probably not such a good idea.

A hurried change and a flurry of apologies from both sides later, the three friends were able to sit down and talk. It was uncomfortable to say the least. Ami kept glancing at Makoto and blushing in between her stares at the re-disguised Fiore. To make the situation even more tense, Grandpa Hino had just now given up on "starting an orgy".

"Uhm, Mr. Fiore why were you… What, who are you?" Ami decided to tackle the hardest topic first. The question caused the young man to look slightly dejected and uncomfortable.

"Ami, no one except me knows about Fiore, so please don't tell anybody anything. Please Ami…" Makoto began instantly pleading with her younger friend. She really liked Ami, and she trusted her to an extent but not completely. She wasn't sure how her friend would react to a situation like this. Heck, if their roles were reversed, she wouldn't know how she would react to it.

"Are you one of those monsters that have been appearing in the news lately?" Even though she ignored Makoto, the older teen seemed a little reassured that Ami was very calm and seemed more curious and embarrassed than anything.

Fiore was also slightly reassured. "Actually Ami, I don't know what I am. All I know is that I have to wear this form to protect myself from, well from people who want to exploit my abilities."

"Abilities?"

"Uhm well, it's a long story if you have a couple hours we could all sit down and Mako and I can tell you our story. But if you want to wait, just please know that I am not like those monsters. I never hurt anyone outside of self defense, and I mostly use my powers to heal and help things grow."

Ami just looked at her friends for a moment and offered them a shy smile. "That is ok, you do not need to explain anything. Besides in the time I have known you and from what Makoto has told me you seem to be a very good and caring man. Besides…" Ami turned away as she blushed again. "I have a :Really: important date today." That comment was more directed to Makoto who had told the younger teen earlier that she would help her with any last minute details for this special occasion.

"You're ok with this then?" Fiore was shocked he didn't know what he expected but it certainly wasn't the easy going acceptance he received. He also didn't expect to be pushed out of the room by Makoto telling him to make room for girl talk.

"So tonight's the big night huh?" After she heard Fiore leaving the hall Makoto eagerly dove into questioning her younger friend.

"Yes, I have been thinking about what you have told me and I decided that I am being unfair to both of us by not telling Juni I love her. And by not, well you know." Ami just gave up trying to hide her blush as she figured she would be doing it a lot today.

"Well, I think that you'll be happy with your decision, you both will." Makoto winked at her younger friend, taking great pleasure in teasing her. "Just don't worry Ami I'll help you with all the details."

________________________________________________________________ __

An hour later, Ami was on her way to Crystal to surprise her girlfriend who was finishing up on some last minute work. Her talk with Makoto had given the young genius a few ideas on how to maneuver the evening. Most important though, Mr. Fiore had given her a flower from his personal garden. The flower was delicate and exotic, and it's scent was indescribable. He had also assured Ami that it was his own special hybrid and that there was not another in existence. It was the perfect gift.

Finally arriving at her destination, Ami walked to a payphone across the street to call Juni. After three rings Ami started to worry, thinking that maybe her girlfriend had decided to stay home. The young Mizuno breathed a quick sigh of relief when the phone was answered two rings later.

"Crystal Academy, how may I help you?"

"Good Morning Sensei." Ami couldn't help the playful tint in her voice, or the smile that overtook her feature upon hearing Juni's voice.

"Ami! I was just thinking about you." Juni sounded happy to hear from her and Ami could hear the smile in her voice. This made the young genius happy and helped to embolden her in her plans. "Are we still on for today?"

Ami decided to tweak her teacher a bit before surprising her. "About that, I am really sorry but I'm afraid I can not see you this afternoon."

"What? Is everything alright?" Ami felt immediately guilty when she heard the immediate disappointment and worry in her girlfriends voice.

"I can not see you this afternoon, because I couldn't wait."

"Uhm what?" Juni was a bit confused.

"I am waiting across the street, will you open the door for me?"

"Really! Wait right there, I'll be right out!" Ami couldn't help but laugh a little at the obvious excitement in Juni's voice as she hung up the phone.

"Ami!" The teen had not just finished hanging up when she heard her teacher calling her from across the street. Ami waved happily and quickly made her way to her teacher's side, who immediately offered to carry the large bag and small box she was holding. Even though they both really wanted to, they resisted the urge to properly greet each other until they were in Juni's office.

Once they were in and the door securely locked Juni placed Ami's things on her desk and turned to look at her girlfriend. She took a moment to absorb the sight of her love who was dressed in a light blue skirt and jacket covering a white blouse . A white ribbon tied in a bow kept the jacket closed at the collar. Upon finished her appraisal, Juni's eyes met Ami's which held a look of amused embarrassment.

"I missed you yesterday." Juni stated lovingly as she pulled her girlfriend into a light embrace.

Emboldened by the moment, the young genius wrapped her arms around Juni's neck and drew her down to meet her halfway. "Why don't you show me how much you missed me." Juni was momentarily surprised by Ami's totally out of character request, but smiled and quickly obliged her.

The kiss began as a passionate exploration which built in momentum until both women were having trouble standing. Only when Juni's knees began to buckle did they break their kiss. Ami giggled slightly before looking up at her teacher, who's tight embrace she was still wrapped in. "Good Morning Juni."

"Is it ever!" Juni returned Ami's goofy grin. "It is so wonderful for you to surprise me like this. I wasn't having a very good morning until you showed up."

"Then I have just the thing to cheer you up even more." Ami smiled happily at her girlfriend as she untangled herself from their embrace and made her way to the box that Juni had set on her desk.

"I don't know what you could show me that would make me any happier than the greeting you already gave me…" Juni's breath caught as she spied the incredible flower that her shyly smiling girlfriend presented to her. "Oh Ami, It's beautiful. Thank you." Juni gently took the potted plant from Ami's hands and set it neatly in the center of her desk. The young teacher stood looking at it, before turning to face Ami with unshed tears in her eyes.

"Ami, no one has ever brought me flowers before. Thank you, thank you for making a little dream of mine a reality." With that Juni showed her appreciation in the form of a slow lingering kiss. One that neither women ever wanted to break from. As things once again started to heat up, Ami, pulled away.

"Seeing you happy makes me happy." Ami managed to gasp out between breaths. The young genius knew what she wanted to happen today, but she had the evening scripted out, and had no intention of letting all her plans come undone here. "I know you have a lot of work to do. I will work on some studies in the corner while you do what you need to."

"Huh, work, oh work yes you're right. I'll just uhm, do that." Juni unsteadily returned to her seat as Ami situated herself at the small desk in the corner of her office. At first things were great, but it was only a matter of time before the shy glances stated. Those quickly escalated to long looks and then finally they just stared at each other with happy grins plastered upon their faces.

Thinking about it, it was just too horribly cute. Normally that would have bothered Garoben, Juni's other half and ever present companion. Then again, so would have a lot of things about her hosts relationship with their student. Still, the ages old demon remained quiet, allowing her host the time of first love with the girl that both sides of their dual being had fallen in love with.

Upon giving up the pretense of work, Juni motioned for Ami to join her at the desk. That was something Ami happily agreed to. "I can't get anything done. You are distracting me."

"Oh?" Ami seemed a bit disappointed at this comment.

"It's ok, I want to be distracted."

"Ooooh!" The two women spent the next half-hour playfully sharing kisses and shy caresses not going to far, just enough to have fun. After the impromptu make out session both women were finally able to fully concentrate on their work. Once started the rest of the morning flew by, and before they knew it they had everything they needed done.

From there the ladies started the day out with a beautiful lunch. They dinned at a cozy restaurant, and took their time eating and talking about a science newsletter that they had read the previous week. A trip to the local arboretum followed lunch. Once there the two women spent the rest of the after noon lounging about under the trees sometimes talking, but mostly just enjoying each others company. The Afternoon seemed to pass by too quick for the friends. They only slightly regretted it's passing, as they had early movie plans and a dinner date.

The movie, it turned out was mostly forgettable. Of course, it could have been the greatest movie ever made and neither Juni nor Ami could have told you a thing about it. The auditorium was mostly empty and the pair sat huddled in a dark corner. Needless to say, they were more interested in each other than the movie.

It had been a wonderful day for both women, one that neither would soon forget. And so, when the evening was coming to a close it was much easier for Juni to invite Ami back to her home. That was an invitation the young genius would never pass up.

_____________________________________________________________

"Ami?"

"Hmmmm?" Ami answered Juni lazily. She was content to be leaning onto her teacher's back as Juni diced the vegetables for their dinner.

"You know with all the talks we've had, we never really talked about what you want to do with your life. I know that's a pretty broad question, but have you thought about what you would like to pursue as a career?" The taller woman regretfully disengaged herself from her shorted friend's embrace. Cooking while someone was attached to you was rather difficult.

Ami took a seat on a stool opposite the counter Juni was working at. Neither woman spoke as Ami thought over her teacher's question. "I guess one of the things I wanted to do was get into the medical field like my mother. I am thinking that I would like to go all the way, and become a doctor. Mom said that she had wanted to get a nursing degree, but we moved around to much for that. So I guess in a way I want to follow in her footsteps."

"Is that because you know she will approve, or is that what you really want to do?"

"I never really thought of it like that I guess." Ami became quiet as she thought about what Juni had said. Juni in the meantime had just started making a fish based Miso soup. Ami became momentarily distracted as Juni bent over to remove something from the oven. When she realized she was staring, she actually kept herself from blushing. That didn't stop her from admonishing herself just a little though.

"Honestly, I do not know." Ami finally answered. "I never even really gave it serious thought. There are a few other fields that do interest me, teaching, the sciences, lately I have loved working with you on different languages maybe I could do something with that."

While Ami answered, Juni, had turned to see her girlfriend sitting at the stool with the cutest expression on her face. While she listened she couldn't help but gaze upon her love and wonder how she got so lucky, and if her luck would remain. As the dark thoughts threatened to bring her down Juni made her way over to Ami who was still in thought and gazing into nothing. The young girl was slightly surprised when she felt Juni's hands slide up her thighs to rest upon her hips. As their eyes locked they met in a brief kiss. It wasn't as deep or passionate as some they shared today, but it was all Juni needed to banish any dark thoughts from her head.

"I was just curious, It is good to know where your interests lye early, but you don't need to have the answers right away." Ami smiled up at her teacher, just gazing into her eyes. Juni knew that they could stay like this all night, and if they did she would ruin dinner. "Dinner is almost ready, can you please set us up a place at the table. And if you want, I have a couple nice candles you could set those up too." Ami nodded happily at that suggestion and quickly set about her task. Juni continued to work on their meal, and just enjoyed the feeling of being in love.

Dinner was a very sensuous affair. The two girlfriends spent time talking to, and feeding each other. Occasionally one of them would sneak in a kiss in place of food. The candle light served to heighten the mood. When they finished they retired to the living room, where the kisses started at dinner continued. The two were instantly lost in each other, and boundaries previously set up were crossed. Kisses were long and passionate, every dual of there tongues served to enhance the feelings that were steadily building inside of them.

Juni gasped audibly as Ami trailed a path of gentle kisses along her neck and exposed collar bone. Her breathing and heartbeat increased tenfold as her love's hands reached under her shirt, tracing patterns along her sculpted abdomen. Every time it felt like they would reach higher they would stop, whether that was from nervousness or a torturous tease Juni couldn't know. She couldn't comprehend much of anything.

Feeling what Ami was doing to her, the young teacher felt the desire to share the sensations with her. That thought however, brought back the reasons why she didn't want to go this far in the first place. She was just about to speak up, when Ami beat her to it. "Juni, we, we need to stop for a minute." Juni stopped immediately. As much as she loved and craved the girl in front of her she did not want to do anything that would hurt her or make her uncomfortable. That was one of the main reason that Ami was the one who seemed to take the lead whenever they had time together.

Ami's face was fully flushed as the young genius tried to put together a coherent thought. "Juni, Uh please wait here I need to go get something."

Juni nodded her acknowledgement, not able to do anything else. As the minutes ticked by, Juni started to nod off a bit, happy and content, wrapped in her feelings of love for Ami. Ami seemed to have been gone for awhile, and Juni was starting to miss her presence. The young teacher debated weather or not to look for her. Deciding that she might be sick or something might be wrong Juni immediately rose from her comfortable seat in search of her friend.

Just as Juni was rounding the corner into her hallway the bathing room door opened. Juni blushed furiously, and her heart began to pound as the sounds of a bath being drawn and steam from the water filtered into the hall. The embarrassed and confused teacher quickly made her way back to the couch where Ami was expecting her to wait. Juni's heart caught in her throat as Ami returned, her skin and hair was slightly damp from the steam and her glasses were partially fogged.

With a trembling hand Juni took hold of Ami's when the younger women silently offered it. With confusion, and a budding excitement Juni followed her younger love to the bathing room. Once there Ami closed the door behind them and led Juni to the small hall area that preceded the actual Bathing room. Juni's heart thundered in her chest, mimicking Ami's as the young woman reached to remove her girlfriend's top.

"Ami wha?"

"Shhh." Ami silenced her girlfriend with a chaste kiss upon her lips. The young genius paused steadying herself before she continued to disrobe her blushing girlfriend. Once she was undressed, Ami led Juni into the bathing room, which smelled of lavender. Juni now had an idea as to what Ami had planned. Even though the young teacher wanted, no, needed this her guilty conscience did not want to let her accept it.

Ami sat a conflicted Juni down at the washing stool and handed her a basket of expensive bath products. Ami had wanted this to be perfect, and had saved her lunch money and meager allowance to purchase the fancy toiletries.

Once Juni was situated Ami knelt beside her teacher and took hold of one of her hands. The young genius was extremely nervous, although she was doing very well to not let it be shown. "Do you have a nice kimono I can lay out for you?"

"Ami I, I don't think tha…" Juni's objections once again came screaming to her mind, and she tried once more to stop what Ami and herself wanted so badly.

"Shhhh." Ami placed a calming hand over Juni's pounding heart. "It's ok, I want to do this for you."

Juni hesitated for a moment. She searched her love's eyes for any hint as to her feelings at this moment, but couldn't get a clear read on the multitude of things she found there. She thought for a moment to ask Garoben, but decided to let the demon rest. As she clasped Ami's hand with her own she made the decision to follow Ami wherever it was she would lead her. "Yes, I have a really beautiful purple one on the last hanger in my closet. I would love it if you would prepare that one for me.

"Alright. Call me when you need you back and hair done, and I will join you."

Juni remained frozen in place as Ami turned from the room. She sat there, still, and silent until she was able to swallow the lump in her throat and slightly calm her raging heartbeat.

Juni's mind was a jumbled whirl of thoughts and emotions as she washed herself and prepared to soak in the tub. Ami entered the bathing room just as Juni was about to call her. The young genius took a knee behind her girlfriend and began to was her back. Ami was extremely gentle this time around, nervous that the welts that had appeared the last time would appear again. Once she had finished washing Juni's back and hair Ami asked meekly for Juni to turn away while she removed her towel and sat on the shower stool. Once seated Juni silently returned the favor of washing her girlfriend's hair and back.

While Ami continued her shower, Juni entered the lavender scented tub to soak. Within a few minutes Ami slipped in unseen behind her. Juni gasped as she felt her friends arms wrap around her and legs entangle with her own. The two women stayed there for quite some time, each enjoying the feel of the other pressed against them. In a way it made the two women feel complete, like they were one instead of two.

They stayed in as long as they could before there skin started to prune up. At that point both women stood up, Ami purposefully staying out of Juni's sight. Once out of the tub, Ami wrapped a towel around herself and turned to dry Juni off. Juni, thoroughly enjoyed the attention Ami was showing her. She was confused and a little disappointed when Ami would not let her return the favor.

"I am going to finish drying off, your Kimono is laid out for you in the living room. As soon as I am ready, I will join you there." Juni stood there, again getting overly guilty and nervous. Ami walked up to her and gave her a brief hug and kiss on the cheek before nudging her toward the door.

Upon entering the living room, Juni found her favorite kimono laid out on the sofa. She stared at it for a moment, thinking on what was about to happen and if she should allow it. She loved Ami so much, and to share herself for the first time with her love would be something she never considered to be possible. However, there was still so much Ami did not know about her, about them. What if she turned away after she discovered the truth? As she dressed herself in her elaborate silk kimono, Juni's thoughts and doubts continued to plague her.

A nearly inaudible gasp broke Juni from her thoughts. She turned around and shared an equal look of awe with Ami as they took in the sight of each other dressed in their kimonos. "You are beautiful." Both women spoke the words simultaneously, and shared a blush at the complement. Juni swallowed deeply as Ami took her hand and began to escort her back toward her bedroom.

As they entered the bedroom, Juni gasped at the sight and scent of the candles that Ami had set up. Seeing this brought tears to the young teacher's eyes. That, and the sinking knowledge that she could not let this happen. There was still too much left unsaid, too much that could go wrong. "Ami, I love you, but I can't do this. I still have so much that I haven't told you. There are things about me that you don't understand. I think…"

Ami lightly pressed two fingers over Juni's lips. She waited for the turmoil in Juni's eyes to calm before she spoke. "Juni, we have been friends for several months now, and girlfriends for over a month." Ami paused for a moment to collect her thoughts. All the time she made sure to keep eye contact with her friend. "I don't know what the future holds for us. Right now, I know that nothing could make me happier than sharing myself with the woman I love."

"I love you."

Such simple words, and yet they were words that Juni had never heard, nor thought she would ever hear directed toward her. Tears formed in her eyes and traced gentle paths down her cheeks. "But, I…"

Ami shook her head at her love. "Your secrets are your own. Tell me when you are ready, until then it does not matter. Nothing you could say would change the way I feel about you right now."

"Ami, I…"

Juni's tears were wiped away by Ami's caring hand. "It doesn't matter. All that matters right now is us. Please, let me love you."

Juni tried once more to protest but was silenced by Ami's lips upon her own. With the kisses and touches that followed all objections and thoughts of things to come were replaced in her mind by the growing feeling of overwhelming love and desire for the young woman pressed against her.

Ami smiled to herself and shed a few happy tears of her own when she finally felt her love surrender, and accept the gift they were being given. It was with a clear conscience and mind that the two lovers made their way into bed to share in each others love.

________________________________________________________________ __

"I love you too my Ami, more than words could ever describe." Juni whispered to her lover, thinking the younger woman asleep. The two were entwined together, with Juni's head resting atop Ami's diminutive bosom. The young genius had surprised Juni when she took the lead in their lovemaking. She was even more surprised to find out that she enjoyed that. Sometimes the strength she received from Garoben made her think that she was just as strong and commanding. When in truth, she was more meek and timid.

Juni was startled when Ami's hand started gently brushing through her hair. "Hearing you say that, tells me everything I need to know. I'm sorry I did not tell you I loved you sooner. I just wanted to make sure everything was perfect."

"I'm just happy you told me." Juni slightly nuzzled Ami's breast and left a kiss upon it. "And, everything was perfect. You were perfect." Juni inched her way up so she could properly say good morning to her new lover.

After they parted Ami placed another gentle kiss upon Juni's nose. "I think we complemented each other very well. Of course my being totally and completely in love with you enhances things quite a bit as well."

Both women remained quiet, each enjoying the silence and the feeling of the other in their arms. It was some time before Ami suddenly tensed up. "Oh my Gods!! What time is it!?!"

Hearing the panic in her lover's voice, Garoben who had put herself into a deep trance the morning prior, woke up.

"It's about three thirty. Ami is everything ok?"

Ami practically jumped out of bed and started gathering all her discarded clothes. "It completely slipped my mind, how could I have forgotten?"

"Forgotten what?" Juni was completely confused as to what was going on.

Ami seeing the confusion in her lover's eyes paused to explain what happened. "Yesterday morning mom said she did not have to go to work."

"And?"

"And she asked me what time I was going to be home. She NEVER asks that. I think she might have been home all night, and if she was…"

"Then she would know that you weren't. Oh, I see." Juni ran her hand through her hair in a nervous gesture. "Well I was hoping to avoid this conversation with your mom for some time, but if it has to be today, then so be it. You are defiantly worth it." Juni's words took away some of Ami's nervousness and the two woman shared a smile. "In the meantime we should probably take a shower, that way we might be able to get away with telling your mom as little as possible."

"That is a good idea. We should probably go separate though, I am late enough as it is." Ami left Juni with a smile and a wink as she sprinted toward the bathing room.

An hour later Juni's brand new, sleek black, luxury car pulled into the parking lot of the apartment complex the Mizuno's lived in. After a quick look around Ami breathed a slight sigh of relief. "I do not see my mom's car anywhere. With any luck she left for work already."

Both women opened their doors and met at the front of the car. Not thinking, and assuming that it was to early for anyone to be out the two lover's shared a scorching kiss. "Ami, I can't even begin to say how much last night meant to me. Thank you my love, for everything."

"I love you Juni, and I will see you at school tonight." The two women stood gazing at each other not wanting to break their embrace. They shared a few more tender kisses, blissfully unaware that they had an audience.

Ami stood at the entrance to her apartment complex until she couldn't see Juni's car anymore. Only then did she turn to enter her building. A silly grin made it's way to the young genius's face as she climbed the stairs and opened the door to her home. The smile was instantly wiped from her face as she was greeted by the sight of her obviously seething mother.

"Mom, I can…"

Ayanee practically leapt from her seat to stand before her daughter, barely able to keep from slapping her. The only thing that stopped her was that, that was something her own mother had been overly fond of, and she promised herself that she would never repeat that. "Don't say a word young woman. I am exhausted and extremely angry right now. I need to be at work in two hours, I don't want to see you before then."

Ami quickly turned to flee to her room, when her mother's words paused her. "Tomorrow I will be here when your cram class lets out. You will come here as soon as your dismissed."

Ami's lower lip trembled as she responded. "Yes mom."

"And you better make sure that Asagai-sensei is with you. I don't care what her plans are or how busy she is. She WILL be with you. Do I make myself clear?" Ami quickly nodded in response. "Good now get into your room and go to sleep, you still need to be at school in the morning."

As Ami retreated to her room. Ayanee grabbed what she needed for work and silently left. She needed to clear her head before she started working, so she left to see the one person she knew would be able to calm her down, Umi

Author's notes::

Well another month hiatus. I had family over for the holidays, and my computer died on me, so I had to go buy another one. I want to thank those of you that left me reviews on fanfiction.net your notes re-inspired me.

Next Chapter is the big one, then there will be one more chpt. And an epilog. I bought a scanner, so I will take a break for a month or so after Waking Ami to illustrate it a bit. Then I will write a few chpts. Of my next story before I post any. That way, I can reliably have updates out bi-weekly.

Also I will go through and fix a few continuity errors. Example. Garoben would know, that Ami was not from Pluto, because very few people knew of it's population in the first place and Ami would have recognized Pluto`s and Saturn`s pieces on the chess board.. Also Juni would not have gone clubbing earlier in the story, she is to introverted for that. And Ami's age I think changed four or five times throughout my story. I meant her to start at 14 and her birthday last chpt. Put her at 15.

:::Notes thoughts or Garoben's speech::

Rei is currently staying at another temple. She has been gone for four months and won't return for another month or two.
