Kanako had been in her bedroom.  She was really in a bind.  She admitted something rather explosive to Keitaro earlier tonight.  In fact, she lay on her futon thinking on the exchange between her and Keitaro.  He was blatantly obvious, that was his mistake.  He did provide a good idea for her.  She had best admit exactly her feelings.  That would be easier if she didn't like the one person she's forged a friendship with!  She knew that wasn't how life worked.  She was really sure that this was going to be nerve racking.  

'Shinobu,' she thought clutching her heart-shaped locket, 'I really wish I didn't have to do this.'

"Kanako, are you going to come to dinner?" Keitaro asked.

"I'll be down in a few minutes," she said quietly.

"If you want...I'll save some food for you," he offered.  "If you don't want to eat exactly right now."

"Thank you," she said, "I really can't eat right now."

"I understand," he said.  "Just don't become too hung up on it."

"That is sound advice," she offered.

"As you know, I learned that the hard way."

He went to dinner without her.  She knew he was right.  If she ended up becoming unrealistic...it could blow up in her face.  Also, if she were to do what Keitaro had done in the past...that would really cause everybody to hate her.  He was right, the best way to deal with her was to talk to her.  She lay in her futon trying to find the right thing to say.  Knowing it was fruitless, she decided to go down to dinner.  She didn't want to eat...but it'd settle her nerves.  When she went, she ran into Sarah who was rubbing her eyes.  

"Do you need to use the restroom?" she asked.

"Yes," Sarah answered tiredly, "I had that dream..."

"Let's hurry."

She escorted Sarah to the restroom.  Thankfully, they got there before she'd been forced to clean everything up.  After, she came out.  She was half-awake.  However she didn't want to over-sleep.  She and Kanako walked back to her room.  She noticed that Kanako wasn't really feeling well.  She thought she'd caught the flu.  Though...it was a lot more than that.

"Kanako...are you sick?" Sarah asked concerned.

"No...I'm going through my growing pains now," Kanako answered gently.

"Well...in school, if a girl likes somebody..." she said half-asleep, "they'd right a note, and leave in the kid's shoe box."

"How long what that usually take?" Kanako asked.  

"That'd take a day...but either way, he'd leave a note back in her shoe box..."

Kanako decided to send her back to the bed.  She also felt her forehead...and she really was burning with a fever.  Thankfully she had the thermometer on hand.  She slipped the prong inside of the plastic protector, and went through the motion.  Sarah really was sick.  Her temperature was about 102.  After, she ordered the blonde to lay in bed.  She sat with her, so she wouldn't get lonely.  Motoko happened by, and wondered why Kanako wasn't at dinner.  She figured it was to take care of Sarah.

"Kanako," Motoko said, "She'll be alright...I'll get her some medication."

"Thank you," Kanako said, "I'm going to the springs for a few minutes."

"Something major is on your mind," Motoko then noticed.  "I understand if you don't want to talk about it."

"Actually...could you ask Shinobu to come to the springs?"

"I can arrange for it," Motoko said.

Kanako went to get ready for the springs.  Motoko offered to clean up the kitchen for Shinobu.  Kitsune was already in bed.  She had a long day in the morning.  Mutsumi also offered to help.  Su was with Kitsune.  She was quite tired after the day.  Keitaro was finishing up loose ends, and he too was in bed.  She didn't refuse the offer.  However, Motoko did ask her to go to the springs.  That was a good deal.  Once both were in the springs, completely covered in a towel.

"Hey," Shinobu said, "what's on your mind?"  

"Oh...I have to talk to you...it concerns you," Kanako said nervously.

"Is it major?"

"It is."

"Did I do something to you?"

"In a sense, yes....however, it is a good thing."

Shinobu was quite confused.  Kanako got quiet.  This silence lasted for a few minutes.  She really wanted to get the words out.  Shinobu stayed.  It would had been rude to leave Kanako.  This really was a nerve racking experience for her.  Then...Kanako summoned her courage.  She looked over, and told Shinobu exactly what she had told Keitaro.

"Shinobu...I am in...love with you," she admitted.

"Wow...I am shocked," Shinobu replied honestly.

"It hasn't happened overnight, trust me...."
"Well...I do have dreams of having a family, and getting married," Shinobu answered honestly.

"I understand," Kanako said, "I just wanted to get this out there..."

"I don't want you to be feeling disappointed," Shinobu interrupted.

"What do you mean?"

"I never said my family was husband and wife," she admitted.  "I have had a crush on you when I met you...you were the only one that never made fun."

"This is quite...perfect," Kanako said, now calmed down.

"Kanako, I will date you," Shinobu declared.

"Wow...I didn't think you'd..."

"I know..." she answered more confidently, "however, I learned what not to do from my parents, and from Naru."

"I guess the Urashima family...at least the younger generation...is finally finding happiness."

"Yes," Shinobu said, giving Kanako a small peck on the cheek, "and I finally am getting my happiness too."

Kanako blushed as Shinobu got out of the spring.  It was a bad idea to stay in there longer than needed.  She enjoyed the view of her girlfriend.  She then yawned.  She was a little tired herself.  About a few minutes later, Kanako followed.  Later, when she was in her bedroom...she put on her t-shirt with a black cat on it.  She lay on her futon, with an actual grin on her face.  She looked out, and Shinobu was there.  She was in her pink pajamas.

"Oh, did I leave something?" Kanako asked.

"No, I just wanted to see your pretty face," Shinobu answered.

"Wow...that's very touching," she returned, about to cry from joy.

"I know this is asking a lot...but I really don't want to be away from you..."

"I'm not ready for..."

"Neither am I," she returned, "and I vow not to use you...we know what happens when games are played."

"That is exactly right...and I hope Motoko finds somebody who's right for her."

"I do too...I feel like everybody's going forward, and not being held back."

Kanako didn't argue with that point.  She and Shinobu sat up and talked for a while.  It was mostly about their feelings, and how everything came to pass.  She listened to how Shinobu's parents were less-than-idea.  In return, she listened to Kanako's story.  She definitely appreciated that Keitaro decided to make right with her before it was too late.  Then...they were both quite tired.  Shinobu went on the futon, and cuddled under the blanket.  

"Good night," Kanako said lovingly, "I now have my sweet princess with me."

"Good night," Shinobu returned, "I have my life companion with me."

Kanako gave Shinobu a kiss on her cheek.  She smiled, and drifted off to sleep.  Kanako then went down.  She smiled, and slept soundly.  It was a day that was like no other.  She definitely, like Shinobu, didn't want to mess up.  They had a lot of history of what not to do.  However, it would be a surprise to everybody once the morning came.  They really didn't know it, but Motoko caught their conversations.  She smiled broadly...it was something that had to happen for the best.  

"Motoko, why are you still up?" Kitsune asked.

"Oh...I was just getting to bed," Motoko answered, "Mutsumi and I cleaned tonight."

"That's understandable," she said.

"I believe that you, Keitaro, Shinobu, and Kanako are on your way to greatness."

"What about Shinobu and Kanako?"

"They've decided they were going to date each other."

"That is definitely cute," Kitsune said, scratching the back of her head.

"I will turn in...it's finals before Golden Week."

"it really would be interesting," Kitsune said.  "I have something for Keitaro this vacation."

"Wait...you don't mean...?"

"Yes...I am definitely ready..."

Kitsune knew exactly what she was going to do.  She wanted to consummate her relationship with Keitaro.  She knew in her heart it wasn't going to be lust.  She has had too many of those dreams with her and Keitaro.  Keitaro, meanwhile woke up from his dream.  He cursed, that it couldn't come true.  He also knew in his heart that it was real...and not lust.  It seems, that there will be a perfect storm brewing.  Motoko knew exactly what was happening.  She wasn't going to question Kitsune...as she saw she was 100% genuine.  However...she remembered her sister was going to be visiting for Golden Week for a vacation.  She needed all of the guidance she could get.
