Chapter 5

Kelryn woke up, and wondered where she was. She sat up and got her bearings. She had apparently spent the night on Kovin's couch. Kari was sleeping on another couch near her. Kovin came in from the kitchen.

"You know you're heavier that you look." He said.

"What?"

"You and Kari fell asleep an Aeromon on the way back, so the others elected me to hold you two here for the night. I had to carry you down from the roof."

"Oh, god. Please say there's coffee in here somewhere." She said.

"Yeah, there's some Maxwell House crystals in the bottom cupboard. Can you look after Kari? I have to go to work."

"What the hell, it's Monday?"

"Sure is, sleeping beauty. You need to learn to handle jet lag better." With that, Kovin was out the door. Kelryn pulled herself off the couch with the ease and grace of a wounded dog. She lurched to the kitchen and made a pot of coffee with three times the amount of crystals she was supposed to. The resulting coffee had the consistency of thick milk. Kelryn saw Kari waking up.

"You want some coffee? It's fresh." Kelryn said.

"Sure. I've never tried some, feels like now might be a good time to start." Kelryn poured a second cup and went back into the living room. She sat them down on the table and sat on the same couch as Kari. Kari picked up hers, and took a sip. She instantly had a look on her face like she had bit into a raw lemon.

"Damn! Is this stuff supposed to taste like this?" Kelryn sipped hers, and nodded.

"Yeah, good stuff, eh?" She said.

"No." Kari sat back, thinking. "Kelryn, why didn't you ever tell us about your life in Canada, or Natasha before?" Kelryn put her coffee down and sat back like Kari. She looked like she was going to speak, or respond in some way. When she did, it was in the form of unrestricted crying. She just let go a lot of emotion. Kari felt she had to help her friend. She put her arms around Kelryn and held her. Kelryn accepted Kari and cried on her shoulder. Kari's mind was racing; she wondered what she should do. Kari could feel the warmth of Kelryn's body on her own, she could feel Kelryn's tears soaking through her shirt, and Kelryn's heartbeat through her skin. Kari remembered the earlier two times when Kelryn had kissed her, and she remembered the warm feeling she felt when it happened. A comforting feeling, that told her that someone understood her, and just wanted to be with her regardless of any reasons to the contrary.

Kari's mind cumulated all this information into one thought. She brushed her hand along the back of Kelryn's head, and lifted it off her shoulder. Kelryn and Kari stared into each other's eyes, and Kari moved her head the last few inches to place her lips on Kelryn's. She felt the moisture on Kelryn's lips, and the muscle tension that showed she was surprised. It only took a few seconds for Kelryn to calm down, and start returning Kari's affection.

Kelryn opened her lips, and that opened Kari's lips, and let her tongue explore Kari's mouth. Now it was Kari's turn to be surprised, but she found that she enjoyed the intimate contact. Kari moved her hands from the back of Kelryn's head, down her neck, to her back. She felt the smooth skin on Kelryn's arms and shoulders. Kari thought her arms were moving by themselves. She didn't object to anything they were doing, but she wasn't the one commanding them to explore Kelryn like that. Her hands moved across Kelryn's arms, and onto her chest cupping her breasts. Kari would have been surprised at that if she hadn't just noticed that the movements of Kelryn's hands were tracing her own perfectly, and had just realised it when Kelryn's hands were on her own breasts.

Kari pulled her lips away from Kelryn's and looked at her, they both smiled. They both wanted all the companionship, the intimacy, the warmth, and the romance they could get from each other. They spent the rest of the day together.

Kovin left work, and got into his car. Allura had emailed him earlier in the day, and asked if he could give her a ride home, because her regular ride was off sick. He agreed. He drove to a martial arts dojo near his apartment and went in looking for Allura. It was on the second floor of the building, the first being a Laundromat, and a convenience store. He got to the top of the stairs and looked around. He couldn't see anyone, and he thought he might have missed her. Kovin went into one of the sparring areas looking at all the weapons before him.

His eyes looked all over the various weapons, and stopped on a pair of kendo sticks. He picked them up and held one in each hand. He swung them a few times to get a feel for their weight, and started swinging them. It was easy for him, like the exercises he had with his guns. He was doing some exercises and the sticks were flying through the air in a blur making buzzing noises as they separated the thick atmosphere. Kovin stopped to take a breath and saw Allura standing in the door. She was wearing the karate uniform, with her jacket over it. He saw her and looked a little embarrassed to be caught playing like a kid.

Before he or she could speak she shed her jacket and walked over to the rack of weapons, where she picked up her own pair of kendo sticks.

"Care to test your skill with those things?" She asked. She sounded though like she was going to drop him with ease. Kovin looked at the white belt around her waist, with the small yellow tips on it, and decided to try.

"Sure, let's dance." He said. She struck a stance, and Kovin matched it. They stared at each other, and she attacked. The sticks flung threw the air and struck Kovin's. His matched hers and the two pairs of weapons flew back and forth threw the air, attacking and defending. Allura blocked an attack by Kovin by crossing the sticks in front of her, lodging his in hers.

"You sure know how to swing those." She said.

"Thank-you, I try." Kovin said. He dislodged his and prepared to attack again, but had to defend a four-streamed attack from Allura. Allura hit his sticks harder than he had anticipated, and the one in his right hand fell to the floor. She was a little taken by the moment and kept attacking. Kovin was near the rack of weapons, and laid his hands on the first handle that they found. He brought the new weapon forward, it took more weight to swing, but felt like the same length. When Kovin looked up, both of Allura's kendo sticks were cut off at the base. The cut looked like it was made by a laser. She looked really shocked, and dropped the two handles on the floor. Kovin lifted the new weapon he had to get a good look at it. It was a meter long katana. It was razor sharp, and feather light for its size. Kovin liked this weapon to the guns he had been carrying for so many years.

Kovin opened the door to his apartment, just as Kari was opening it to leave.

"You two have been here all day?" He asked. Kari just nodded dumbly, and kissed Kelryn goodbye. It was a deep French kiss that must have lasted twenty seconds. Then Kari excused herself and left. Kovin walked in and surveyed his home. Every couch cushion and pillow was somehow out of place, his coffee table was in the wrong position, Kelryn had a stupid happy look on her face that would not go away, and most of all, there was an unmistakable scent in the air. "Busy day?" He asked.

"Not so much busy, as tiring, fun, and educational." She said.
