Sorting things Out
After much efforts at home, Amiko took a plane, stopped to say hi to her family, and made her way gradually to her father's cabin in Canada.

Keiji's recovery had been going quite well. In large part due to his adherence to his promise to Amiko not to strain himself. Of course Shinsuke had to cajole him out of a few attempts at martial exercises, but still good. He was currently meditating in the living room when he saw the figure heading for the cabin. At first he feared an attack, but then he began to recognize who it was.

"Amiko!" He dashed from his sitting position to reach the door before she go there.

	She meets him, smiling at the door. "Hello, Keiji. I have news. There's a lot ot talk about." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'd say roughly 95%, a little sore in some places, but more than well enough. Please, come sit with me." He offered, indicating the couch in the living room. "I trust you are well? I hear there were some 'incidents' in Japan recently." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No, he's taking a nap. He's finally convinced I won't reinjure myself. I think he enjoys the free time he has now." He smiles at her. "I missed you, Amiko-san." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotlittlehands 2011-09-09 04:40 pm UTC (link)
	"I missed you, too. So I called in everything I had. Being a loyal agent and His Majesty's cousin counts for something." A breath. "I got you a pardon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Keiji just sat there stunned for a time. Finally he got enough sense to speak. "Amiko, I..that is so..I don't know what to say. You've already done so much for me, and now this..." He is literally dumbfounded. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"There're conditions. You'd have to come work with me at BH6, because I'd essentially be responsibile for you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	clawed_progeny 2011-09-09 04:54 pm UTC (link)
	Again Keiji was shocked. "Me? On BH6? I..." he paused. "Am I even worthy of protecting Japan? Amiko..this is a lot to process." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I know, but we only have today and tomorrow for you to do so. And don't give me that. My father used to try that 'I am not worthy' stuff with my Lady-Mother, and she didn't put up with it. And believe me, if my Lady-Mother didn't put up with something, it's not worth tolerating. My uncle served on BH6 when he was still recovering his honor, and you're twice the man Uncle Kenuichio was."

	Keiji looked like he wanted to object, but he had learned when Amiko's tone of voice made it clear she wouldn't change her mind on her something. He sighs. "You do too much for me, Amiko." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"In truth there is little else I can do at the moment. I won't dishonor yours and Misha's efforts by refusing you now. Still," he shakes his head. "There's no way I can possibly repay all this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Then don't bother worrying about that. Just plan to do your best protecting people and doing the job. Don't think about debt. Gods, please don't think about debt, because...." Amiko hesitates. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	clawed_progeny 2011-09-09 05:38 pm UTC (link)
	Keiji noticed the hesitation. "What is it, Amiko-chan?" Yes it was a little personal calling her that, but at the moment he was thinking about propriety. "If there's anything I can do to ease your burdens, please tell me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm going to be your boss," she says. "But I want you to put that and any other professional matters, including what you may or may not owe me, aside in terms of what I'm about to ask you to do. Can you do that?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	clawed_progeny 2011-09-09 05:47 pm UTC (link)
	"I understand that, but you're not my boss at the moment. As such I'll have no problem putting it aside." He assures with a smile. "What would you ask of me?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotlittlehands 2011-09-09 05:49 pm UTC (link)
	She draws closer. "Kiss me, Keiji?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	clawed_progeny 2011-09-09 05:59 pm UTC (link)
	"Yu want me to...?" Yes she had implied she wanted something more before she had left for Japan. He himself admitted to desiring the same, but... "Amiko, I..I've never..." Gods this was embarrassing! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Better than being badly-experienced. No wrong habits to break. You can take your time, Keiji, but I want you, and I want it to be your choice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	clawed_progeny 2011-09-09 06:11 pm UTC (link)
	Keiji looked up at her, nervous, but also with certainty. "A choice for myself? Yes." He took a deep breath, and brought his lips to hers. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
