    1.13 +
    1.14 +She knocked on the door and waited for a reply. 'Are you ready yet Kumiko-chan?' she asked.
    1.15 +The door opened and a young girl stood infront of her, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.
    1.16 +'Why Sakura-papa?' she asked. 'You don't remember do you?' Sakura asked.
    1.17 +'No!' Kumiko replied, smiling brightly. 'We're going out today!' Sakura said, smiling at her daughters reaction.
    1.18 +'Really?' Kumiko asked. 'Really!' Sakura replied.
    1.19 +'Sakura, Kumiko-chan! Hikaru-chan's here!' Tomoyo said, having walked up to them, wanting to see if Kumiko was ready.
    1.20 +'Hikaru-chan's here?' Kumiko whispered, before running passed Sakura.
    1.21 +'Where is she mama?' Kumiko asked, stopping suddenly. 'She's in the living room!' Tomoyo replied.
    1.22 +'Arigatou!' Kumiko called out before running down the stairs. Sakura smiled brightly.
    1.23 +'She really likes Hikaru-chan doesn't she?' Tomoyo asked. 'Hai!' Sakura replied.
    1.24 +'So where are we going again?' Tomoyo asked.
    1.25 +'Well, first we're going to pick up Auntie Rika and Auntie Naoko then we're heading for the beach!' Sakura replied.
    1.26 +Tomoyo giggled softly. Smiling Sakura wondered why, as a child, she hadn't known why the sound of Tomoyo's laughter always made her feel happy.
    1.27 +'Auntie Rika? Auntie Naoko?'
    1.28 +'Yeah! Remember when Kumiko slept with Naoko and Rika when they said they wanted to know what it was like to have a child?' Sakura asked.
    1.29 +Tomoyo nodded slightly remembering that day.
    1.30 +'Well, when I tucked her in, Kumiko said that she'd had fun with Auntie Rika and Auntie Naoko and she'd like to spend some more time when them!'
    1.31 +'Oh!' Tomoyo said, smiling brightly. Sakura smiled again and hugged the pale business woman with one arm. 'Is everything ok with Nadeshiko-chan?' Sakura asked.
    1.32 +'Hai! She's just a little energetic today!' Tomoyo replied, smiling when Sakura leaned closer to her swelling stomach.
    1.33 +'Are you going to be a good girl today Nadeshiko-chan?' she asked.
    1.34 +As if responding Nadeshiko started kicking. 'Good girl!' Sakura whispered.
    1.35 +'You certainly have a way with them Sakura!' Tomoyo whispered.
    1.36 +Sakura giggled softly before wrapping her arm around Tomoyo.
    1.37 +
    1.38 +'Hi Hikaru-chan!' the girl called out upon seeing her friend.
    1.39 +'Hi Kumi-chan!' Hikaru replied, before blushing slightly.
    1.40 +'Um.. Kumi-chan... are you going to go out like that?' she asked.
    1.41 +Looking down, Kumiko blushed brightly.
    1.42 +'Hoe! I forgot we were going out today!' Kumiko said, her blush deepening.
    1.43 +'I think we'd better get you dressed.' Hikaru said, taking Kumiko's hand in her own and pulling the pale girl to her bedroom.
    1.44 +'Ok!' Kumiko said, smiling brightly. 'Hello Sakura-san, Tomoyo-san!' Hikaru said, passing them on the stairs.
    1.45 +'Hi Hikaru-chan!' Tomoyo replied. 'Where are you going?' Sakura asked.
    1.46 +'Dressing Kumiko-chan!' Hikaru replied, stopping suddenly.
    1.47 +Not paying attention Kumiko walked straight into Hikaru's back.
    1.48 +'Ok! Just be gentle!' Sakura said, giggling when she saw Kumiko blush slightly.
    1.49 +'Papa!' Kumiko stuttered. 'I'm always gentle with my Kumiko-chan Sakura-san!' Hikaru stated, giggling softly as Kumiko blushed brighter.
    1.50 +'Hoe! Hikaru-chan! Stop teasing me!' Kumiko whined, attracting even more giggling from her friend and parents.
    1.51 +'I can't help it! You look so cute when you blush!' Hikaru said.
    1.52 +Sensing her task was complete Hikaru resumed their walk to Kumiko's bedroom.
    1.53 +'You know I think Hikaru-chan's right! She is cute when she blushes!' Tomoyo said.
    1.54 +Sakura nodded in agreement before heading to the kitchen to finish packing their picnic.
    1.55 +
    1.56 +Kumiko stood infront of her mirror and sighed as Hikaru looked through her wardrobe.
    1.57 +'Why'd you do that?' Kumiko asked. 'Do what?' Hikaru asked, not turning around.
    1.58 +'Embarrass me like that infront of mama and papa!' Kumiko replied, sighing again.
    1.59 +'Because I like to see you blush!' Hikaru replied holding some clothes to herself.
    1.60 +Nodding slightly she walked closer to her friend. 'Here you go!' Hikaru said, handing Kumiko the clothing.
    1.61 +Hikaru's ability to choose clothing for Kumiko rivaled Tomoyo's.
    1.62 +'Is Kero-chan coming?' she asked, while Kumiko got changed. 
    1.63 +Nope! Auntie Rika and Auntie Naoko are coming so has to stay here!' Kumiko replied.
    1.64 +Moments passed in total silence. 'Hikaru-chan... I'm stuck!' Kumiko said.
    1.65 +Turning around Hikaru giggled slightly when she saw why Kumiko was stuck.
    1.66 +'No wonder! You've got your head in your slieve!' she said.
    1.67 +Helping her Hikaru smiled when Kumiko's head appeared and she opened her eyes.
    1.68 +'Thats better!' Kumiko said, smiling slightly. 'Kumiko-chan, your mother needs your help!' a voice said through the slightly open door.
    1.69 +'I'll be right there Sakura-papa!' Kumiko called back.
    1.70 +Hurrying out the door she raced to see what her mother needed her help with.
    1.71 +Hikaru smiled before Kero-chan caught her attention. The little beast lay on Kumiko's bed, his little wings twitching every now and then.
    1.72 +'What's wrong Kero-chan?' she asked. 'I have to say here while you guys go off to have fun and cake! It's not fair!' he said.
    1.73 +Hikaru smiled slightly. 'If you want I could save you a piece!' she said.
    1.74 +'Really? Arigatou Hikaru-chan!' he said, smiling brightly.
    1.75 +The girl sighed softly, sitting on the edge of the bed.
    1.76 +'I had a funny dream last night!' she muttered. 'Really?' Kero-chan asked.
    1.77 +'Yeah! Me and Kumiko-chan were a lot older and a young girl ran upto us and hugged us!' Hikaru said. 'And?'
    1.78 +'Then we kissed! What does that mean?' she asked. 'I don't know!' Kero-chan replied.
    1.79 +It had been years since Sakura had had that kind of dream. 'What could it mean?' he thought.
    1.80 +'The strange thing is the girl looks a lot like Sakura-san!' Kero-chan looked at her.
    1.81 +'She's seen the future!' he thought. Before Hikaru could say anymore Kumiko ran in.
    1.82 +'Everythings ready!' the young girl said. Turning Hikaru looked at Kero-chan. 'I'll remember that piece of cake!'
    1.83 +The little animal smiled and nodded. Taking hold of Hikaru's hand, she led her out of the room, leaving a very confused Kero-chan.
    1.84 +
    1.85 +'Hi Sakura, hi Tomoyo!' Rika said when they got out of their car.
    1.86 +'Hi Rika, Naoko!' Tomoyo said, resting against the car door.
    1.87 +'Hi Auntie Rika, Auntie Naoko!' Kumiko said, slowly jogging up to them.
    1.88 +'Hi Kumiko-chan!' Naoko said, hugging the young girl. 'Um.. Hello!' Hikaru stuttered bowing politely.
    1.89 +'Who's this Kumi-chan?' Rika asked. 'She's my best friend! Her name is Hikaru Watanabe!' Kumiko said.
    1.90 +'Oh yeah!' Rika said, smiling slightly. 'She's a cute one! You'd better not let her slip away!' Rika said.
    1.91 +'Rika, you can't tell them that!' Sakura said. 'Why not?' Naoko asked.
    1.92 +'Because they don't know yet!' Sakura said. 'Know what papa?' the child asked.
    1.93 +'Sorry Kumi-chan, but its a secret!' Sakura replied. 'Are you ready?' Sakura asked looked at her friend.
    1.94 +'Yeah!' Rika replied smiling slightly. Naoko smiled brightly. Apart from Rika she hardly saw her friends.
    1.95 +Still smiling they got in the car and headed to the beach. After almost 2 hours of traveling they reached the beach.
    1.96 +As the adults set the picnic up Hikaru and Kumiko played near the water.
    1.97 +'They don't know yet?' Rika asked. 'Nope!' Sakura replied, helping Tomoyo sit down.
    1.98 +'Kumiko-chan! Hikaru-chan! Everythings ready!' Sakura called out.
    1.99 +The girls slowly approached her, talking amongst themselves. 'Really?' Hikaru asked.
   1.100 +'Hai! I'd like to know too!' Kumiko replied. 'Sakura-san.. can you remember what Kumiko-chan's first word was?' she asked.
   1.101 +Sakura smiled and nodded. Hugging her mother Kumiko felt Nadeshiko start kicking.
   1.102 +'She's kicking again mama!' the girl said. 'Can I feel it Tomoyo-san?' Hikaru asked.
   1.103 +Tomoyo nodded before Hikaru lightly pressed her hand against Tomoyo's swelling stomach.
   1.104 +She blushed slightly when she felt the unborn child kick.
   1.105 +'I think she's saying hi Hikaru-chan!' Tomoyo whispered. 'Hi Nadeshiko-chan!' Hikaru whispered, smiling as she felt the baby kick again.
   1.106 +Rika and Naoko smiled slightly, they were also curious about their "niece's" first word.
   1.107 +'Well it started about 6 years ago....'
   1.108 +
   1.109 +6 YEARS AGO
   1.110 +
   1.111 +She opened her eyes the second she heard the baby cry.
   1.112 +Tomoyo sat in her chair trying to stop the child by singing to her, but this time it was having no effect.
   1.113 +Looking up she saw Sakura looking at her. 'I'm sorry Sakura!' the pale woman said.
   1.114 +'Why didn't you wake me?' Sakura asked. 'Because you looked so cute!' Tomoyo replied, yawning softly.
   1.115 +'Tomoyo, you rest! I'll look after Kumiko-chan for now! Besides, I think she wants her mother!' Sakura said, gentlely lifting the child from her wifes arms.
   1.116 +'Ok!' Tomoyo whispered, kissing Sakura before laying on the bed Sakura had vacated.
   1.117 +Within moments of laying down Tomoyo was asleep. It was then Sakura noticed that Kumiko wasn't crying anymore.
   1.118 +Looking down she saw the child smile at her. 'Hi Kumiko-chan!' she whispered.
   1.119 +The child gurgled, closed her eyes and nuzzled into Sakura's chest. Sakura smiled.
   1.120 +'I knew you just wanted your mother!' she whispered. Kumiko yawned softly, before opening her eyes again.
   1.121 +'Pa...pa!' the girl said. Sakura's eyes went wide. 'What?' she said. 'Papa!' Kumiko said again happily.
   1.122 +'Papa? You think I'm your father?' she asked the child holding her up.
   1.123 +Kumiko's small arms reached out as Sakura brought her closer then she grabbed and started pulling on her cheeks.
   1.124 +'Papa!' the child said again. 'Having fun?' she asked as Kumiko pulled her cheeks again.
   1.125 +'How can I be your papa?' Sakura asked, just as Kumiko giggled again.
   1.126 +She sat down and picked up a small bear that sat next to her bed.
   1.127 +Kumiko let go of her cheeks when she handed her the bear. Standing up, she walked over to Tomoyo and sat next to her.
   1.128 +'Tomoyo!' she whispered, 'Tomoyo-chan..' The pale woman moaned and opened her eyes.
   1.129 +'What is it Sakura?' she asked, rubbing her eyes. 'Why does our daughter see me as her papa?' Sakura asked.
   1.130 +'Really?' Tomoyo asked. Sakura nodded. 'Kumi-chan..' Sakura whispered, before the child looked up. 'Who am I?' she asked.
   1.131 +'Papa!' the girl said, smiling brightly. Then she pointed to Tomoyo.
   1.132 +'Who's this?' Sakura asked. Kumiko looked up at her then at Tomoyo.
   1.133 +'P..' the child said before looking again, 'Ma.. ma!'
   1.134 +Looking up she smiled before hugging the bear in her arms.
   1.135 +'Why are you the mother Tomoyo-chan?' Sakura asked.
   1.136 +'I think it's because Kumiko-chan sees you differently to the way she sees me!' Tomoyo replied.
   1.137 +Sakura sighed softly as she watched her daughter play with her teddy bear.
   1.138 +
   1.139 +PRESENT DAY
   1.140 +
   1.141 +Kumiko, Hikaru, Rika and Naoko looked at her, amazed by the story while Tomoyo smiled at them.
   1.142 +'Did that really happen?' Rika asked. 'Hai!' Sakura said, smiling brightly.
   1.143 +'Why do you see Sakura-san didderently Kumiko-chan?' Hikaru asked. Kumiko shrugged her shoulders.
   1.144 +'I don't know! I've always thought of her as my papa!' the girl replied.
   1.145 +'I have a question Sakura!' Naoko said.'How'd you get Tomoyo pregnant?'
   1.146 +Sakura looked at Tomoyo for a second before Tomoyo answered.
   1.147 +'Sakura.. convinced Touya to get us some of his sperm!' Tomoyo said.
   1.148 +'Really?' Rika asked. Sakura nodded, not trusting herself to answer.
   1.149 +'We should try that!' Rika said. Naoko nodded. Kumiko lightly tugged on Sakura's shirt.
   1.150 +'Uncle Touya's my papa?' she asked. 'I'll explain everything when we get home!' Sakura said.
   1.151 +'Ok!' Kumiko whispered. She was so confused.
   1.152 +'Could uncle Touya be my papa?' she asked herself. 'Whats the matter Kumi-chan?' Hikaru asked.
   1.153 +'Hai!' Kumiko replied, blushing slightly. 'Are you ok Kumiko-chan?' Hikaru asked.
   1.154 +Kumiko nodded, blushing brighter. 'If he is does that mean that Sakura-papa's my auntie?'
   1.155 +She became so lost in her thoughts that she never heard Hikaru ask her if she wanted to go swiming.
   1.156 +'Kumi-chan?' a voice said followed by a light tapping on her shoulder. 'Hai Sakura-papa?' she asked.
   1.157 +'Hikaru-chan wants to know if you'll go swiming with her!' Sakura said. 'But I forgot my bathing suit!' Kumiko said.
   1.158 +Sakura smiled slightly. 'You might have but you're mother brought one with her just encase!' Sakura said, handing her daughter her spare bathing suit.
   1.159 +'Arigatou!' Kumiko whispered, 'But where can I change?' Sakura's smile grew slightly.
   1.160 +'You're gonna have to step off the blanket for a moment!' Sakura said.
   1.161 +Moving away Sakura picked up the blanket and held up shielding Kumiko for view.
   1.162 +'There you go!' the auburn gaired woman siad, before closing her eyes.
   1.163 +A few minutes later Kumiko lightly pulled on Sakura's shirt. 'Ready?' Sakura asked.
   1.164 +'Hai!' Kumiko replied, as Sakura opened her eyes. 'What's the matter Kumi-chan?' Sakura asked.
   1.165 +'Um.. Is uncle Touya really my papa?' the girl asked. 'No!' Sakura replied.
   1.166 +'But you're a girl like Tomoyo-mama!' Kumiko said, very confused.
   1.167 +'And the strongest magician in the world! Remember?' Sakura said.
   1.168 +'Oh! I forgot!' Kumiko said, blushing slightly.
   1.169 +Sakura smiled at her before the girl hugged her as tightly as she could.
   1.170 +'Where's Hikaru-chan?' she asked, releasing Sakura from the hug. 'Near your mother!' Sakura replied, smiling when Kumiko ran off.
   1.171 +Jogging slowly behind her, they surprised the unsuspecing Tomoyo and Hikaru.
   1.172 +
   1.173 +The trip home was uneventful. They dropped Naoko and Rika off at their appartment and continued home.
   1.174 +They thanked their friends for a good day out and was surprised when Kumiko hugged them before they left.
   1.175 +'Did you enjoy your day out?' Sakura asked when they stopped in the drive way.
   1.176 +When she got no answer she and Tomoyo turned around to see Kumiko and Hikaru resting against each other, sound asleep.
   1.177 +'They're so cute!' Tomoyo whispered, withdrawing a camera from her bag.
   1.178 +Moments later a flash filled the car and the girls opened their eyes slowly.
   1.179 +'Where are we?' she asked as she and Hikaru rubbed their eyes. 'Home!' Sakura replied, holding back a smile.
   1.180 +The girls got out of the car, closed the doors and stumbled.
   1.181 +Falling into Sakura and Tomoyo's arms they blushed and whispered their appologies.
   1.182 +'Did you have fun today?' Sakura asked again. Kumiko nodded slightly.
   1.183 +'Lets get you 2 to bed!' Sakura muttered as she and Tomoyo helped the girls into the house and up to Kumiko's bedroom.
   1.184 +Laying on the bed Hikaru snuggled into Kumiko. The pale girl smiled slightly and placed an arm around her waist, hugging her before they fell asleep.
   1.185 +As they shut the door they smiled ad went to the living room.
   1.186 +As they slowly walked down the stairs Sakura noticed that Tomoyo seemed to be paler then normal.
   1.187 +'Are you ok Tomoyo?' she asked. 'Hai! Just a little tired!' Tomoyo replied, sitting down when they got into the living room.
   1.188 +As she sat down she noticed something wet where she had been standing moments before and realised what had happened.
   1.189 +'Its time Sakura-chan!' Tomoyo said softly when Ssakura sat next to her.
   1.190 +Sakura looked at her and paled slightly. 'But I thought you still had over a week to go!' she said.
   1.191 +Tomoyo smiled at her. 'I do but Kumiko was a few weeks late remember!' the pale woman said.
   1.192 +'I think Nadeshiko-chan wants to come out early!'
   1.193 +'We'd better get you to the hospital then!' Sakura said, helping the pale woman stand.
   1.194 +Helping Tomoyo into the car Sakura rushed back into the house. Minutes later she appeared walking towrds the car with Kumiko and Hikaru almost asleep.
   1.195 +'Where are we going papa?' Kumiko asked, rubbing her eyes.
   1.196 +'The hospital! Nadeshiko-chan's gonna be a little early!' Sakura replied, almost pulling the girls with her.
   1.197 +This seemed to wake the girls up. 'But.. but she's not ready!' Kumiko said.
   1.198 +'I think she is Kumi-chan!' Sakura said as the girls jumped into the car.
   1.199 +Less then 30 minutes later they were at the hospital waiting for Tomoyo's mid-wife.
   1.200 +
   1.201 +32 hours later little Nadeshiko Daidouji came into the world kicking and screaming.
   1.202 +Placed in her mothers arms the child continued to cry and squerm. 'Hi Nadeshiko-chan!' Tomoyo whispered, lightly strocking her baby's cheek.
   1.203 +Sakura smiled slightly. 'That girl has a good set of lungs! I bet she's gonna sing sometime!' she thought.
   1.204 +Slowly the infants crying stopped and she opened her eyes. 'She has your eyes Tomoyo!' Sakura whispered.
   1.205 +'Yeah for now!' Tomoyo replied, her voice a mear whisper.
   1.206 +Sakura smiled as they watched the nurse wrap Nadeshiko in a blanket and hand her to Sakura.
   1.207 +'Hi Nadeshiko-chan!' Sakura whispered. 'Papa.. who's that?' a small voice asked from ehind her.
   1.208 +Turing she saw Kumiko and Hikaru stand a short distanse away from her. 'Nadeshiko-chan say hello to your big sister!' Sakura whispered, showing Kumiko her little sister.
   1.209 +'She's so small papa!' Kumiko said. Sakura giggled softly.
   1.210 +'You were once like this Kumi-chan!' Sakura said. 'Why's she so red Sakura-san?' Hikaru asked.
   1.211 +'I.. I don't know!' Sakura said, blushing slightly. 'She has Kumiko's eyes!' Hikaru thought.
   1.212 +'They're so cute!'
   1.213 +'Are you ok Hikaru-chan?' Kumiko asked. 'H.. hai!' Hikaru stuttered.
   1.214 +'She has Kumi-chan's ears too!' the brown haired girl thought, blushing even brighter.
   1.215 +'Are you sure you're ok Hikaru-chan?' Sakura asked when she saw the girl's blush brighten.
   1.216 +'Hai Sakura-san!' the girl replied. Slowly a pair of arms wrapped themselves around a surprised Hikaru and something pressed against her cheek.
   1.217 +'You're wierd Hikaru-chan!' a soft voice said from behind her, 'But that's why I like you!'
   1.218 +Hikaru smiled slightly. 'Arigatou Kumi-chan!' Hikaru whispered.
   1.219 +The kiss that had just happened was almost as good as the kiss that had happened at Christmas.
   1.220 +It had been a surprise to find herself under the mistletoe, especally with her best friend.
   1.221 +Sakura and Tomoyo had insisted that they kiss and a picture be taken.
   1.222 +It had been embarassing when she did it, but she had secretly been wanting to be caught with the pale girl under the mistletoe.
   1.223 +Her parents were shocked at Kumiko's parents behavour, but allowed it.
   1.224 +She blushed brighter as she felt Kumiko tighten the hug slightly. 'She's cute!' Hikaru said, before Nadeshiko grabbed her finger with a tiny hand she'd managed to get out of the blanket.
   1.225 +Sakura smiled as the girls looked on at the baby.
   1.226 +
   1.227 +YEARS LATER
   1.228 +
   1.229 +A pale teenage girl with long dark hair and sparkling emerald eyes ran into her parents room and jumped on the bed.
   1.230 +'Hi mama! Hi papa!' the girl said happily. The pale woman occupying one side of the bed sat up slowly, yawning.
   1.231 +'Morning Nadeshiko-chan!' she said. 'Morning Tomoyo-mama!' Nadeshiko said, smiling brightly.
   1.232 +'Sakura!' Tomoyo whispered to the auburnhaired woman on the other side of the bed.
   1.233 +'wozdomata?' Sakura muttered.
   1.234 +'Morning Sakura-papa!' Nadeshiko said. Sitting up Sakura rubbed her eyes.
   1.235 +'Morning Nadeshiko-chan!' Sakura replied sitting up. Nadeshiko's smile wavered slightly.
   1.236 +'You don't remember?' she asked. 'Of course we rememeber!' Tomoyo said. 'Remember what?' Sakura asked, her view going from her pale daughter to her pale wife.
   1.237 +'Oh! That!' she said, feeling Tomoyo pinch her under the covers.
   1.238 +'Happy Birthday Nadeshiko-chan!' Sakura said. Nadeshiko's smile grew a lot larger before she hugged her parents.
   1.239 +Jumping off the bed the girl ran out of the room, down the hall and into her bedroom.
   1.240 +Sakura winced when she saw Nadeshiko run handlong in the door, before running off unhindered.
   1.241 +Over the years Sakura noticed that her daughter was more like her mother Nadeshiko and not Tomoyo.
   1.242 +She sighed as the got out of bed and started dressing. Running down the stairs Nadeshiko heard a knock at the door.
   1.243 +Opening it she saw 3 red haired people smiling at her. 'Happy birthday Nadeshiko-chan!' the youngest said, hugging the pale girl.
   1.244 +'Arigatout Rika-chan!' Nadeshiko replied. 'Happy Birthday Nadeshiko-chan!'the other red heads said, bowing slightly.
   1.245 +'Arigatou Tohru-san, Yuri-san!'
   1.246 +'So 15?' Yuri asked. Nadeshiko nodded happily. Tohru smiled slightly.
   1.247 +Rika looked up to the dark haired girl, for reasons mainly her own. Nadeshiko had failed to notice that Rika had blushed slightly when Nadeshiko had returned her hug.
   1.248 +'I'm gonna tell her today!' the young red head thought. 'Mama and papa'll be down soon!' Nadeshiko said as they walked into the living room.
   1.249 +Just as she sat down there was another knock on the door. Standing up the pale teen walked to the door and opened it.
   1.250 +'Happy Birthday Nadeshiko-chan!'
   1.251 +'Hi Hikaru-san! Hi Onii-chan!' Nadehshiko replied happily. 'Hi Kaijuu!' Kumiko said.
   1.252 +'I'm not a Kaijuu!' Nadeshiko screamed at her older sister. 'Happy Birthday Nadehshiko-chan!' a softer voice came from behind Hikaru.
   1.253 +'Hi Megumi-chan!' Nadeshiko said as Hikaru and Kumiko stepped passed her. Slowly they moved into a tight hug.
   1.254 +'I missed you Megumi-chan!' Nadeshiko whispered. 'Silly Nadeshiko-chan! I was here yesterday!' Megumi said, giggling softly.
   1.255 +'I know but I still missed you!' Nadeshiko countered, leaning forward slightly.
   1.256 +Leaning forward Megumi lightly pressed her lips to Nadeshiko's. Slowly they leaned apart.
   1.257 +'Where's your present Megumi-chan?' Nadeshiko asked, realising that both of Megumi's arms were around her waist.
   1.258 +'I'm gonna give it to you later Nadeshiko-chan!' Megumi replied, smiling slightly.
   1.259 +'Hi Megumi-chan!' came a voice from behind them. They blushed as they moved apart.
