It had been a few months since that fateful day, the day where this little Pinkette had met her angel, her protector. Her everything. Michelle-sama. The two of them did everything together and it felt like their bond could never break. She'd never ever let it break. But tragically for now, during "winter break" she had to be at her home with her parents. It made it ironic,  they called it a break but for Momo it was suffocating.

She wanted to return to Campus, to return to Michelle-Sama's side.  She especially wanted to return because at dinner last night, she and her father got into an argument last night.   "I don't think you should be dating that girl of yours anymore." Her father said sternly to her and Momo's ears perked up.  Okay, she could deal with being the arranged heir in this crappy family, she even found reason to like going to Miator even though she wanted to go to Lulim. But THIS. This went too far.  

"I'll date whoever I want, father! And that's final!"  Momo shouted. She found that even in that little petite body of hers,  she had the strength and self-determination of her father. Even as Mr.Renai grabbed her by the collar of her dress. She didn't falter, as she was lifted up, she held onto his fist with all of her might.   "You'll do no such thing, you'll disgrace the Renai family!"   "Dear, isn't that taking it a bit far?"  Her mother tried to deescalate the situation, but her husband was having none of it.

"This has nothing to do with you, it has everything to do with our Momoko and her future as heir of this family. Listen! Your role is to marry a man and to continue on the traditions of our family, which has past down to generations, including you!"   Momo then looked him dead in the eye.  "To continue your riches, right?"

"That's right, the riches of this family." Momo then slapped her father in the face.   And in his rage, he threw Momo down on the floor.  She winced a bit at the violent motion and her mother stood in front of him.  "That's enough!"  She yelled to  Mr. Renai and he snapped back at her. "Our daughter's going to learn some respect!" To which Momo propped up, prim and proper as a lady but fiercely looking him in the eyes.   "Whatever respect I had for you, or for this family is gone! The family I want to create, is one with Michelle-sama!  I'm renouncing the Renai name!"  

"You're what!?" Mr. Renai blurted out.  "I'm packing and going back to Astraea Hill, and don't even bother calling me or picking me back up.  I'm Momoko. Just plain old Momoko. Michelle-Sama's lover!"  As she began to walk up the stairs, her father then said something that she never thought she'd hear, which felt close to a threat.

"You never know in public, what other people may think or do about same-sex couples like you and your beloved Michelle. I'm only telling you this for your own good." He said and Momo turned back. "No matter what they do, I'm going to be with Michelle-sama! And you're not telling me this for my own good, you're telling me this to try and stop me. But I won't!" She puffs angrily  She then dials Michelle-Sama's cell phone.

"Michelle-sama!  My father was abusive to me about our relationship and everything, I want to see you!  I'm already packing and everything." 

It was the end of winter break, the start of spring now and she had avoided going for the most part staying with her Aunt’s for the most of the time off yet on the last week of brake her father had actually bothered to come home early to see her. Sadly for another sad attempt to say what her Aunts and what Michelle had gotten into was wrong. It was the same old thing his words where of how she had very little chance to be head of the company and if she was to even dare try for it she would need a man by her side not a woman. Ever since she had told him off over the phone he had taken every chance to change her mind.


Fighting with her father was nothing new to Michelle the only thing that changed of late is the topics. As a young girl she disagreed with him but held her tongue, she would rather fight smartly then with her tone. Besides when it was a man’s word mind over language seemed to be the only way a woman could win. Yet she had found her words ever since there fights had become so personal.


She knew he never agreed with his sisters (her aunts) same sex relationship. Hence why she didn’t often get to see them, but since Michelle had entered St. Maitor she had taken things into her own hands visiting them, he was displeased of course but now coming to their home yelling at them and her about same sex and how it was wrong was too much. Now he went as far as calling Momoko a sin of a girl. This had Michelle more than upset. Causing her to do the first un lady like thing ever. Smacking him, though it was more of a punch, soon after that she got a call, it was from Momo-chan . Michelle ran out the door grabbing her jacket and her father’s car keys. Everyone was too sunned to stop her, though she could swear her aunt’s were smiling. The only thing she said was to Momoko, telling her she was on her way.


Driving wasn’t as hard as Michelle thought though shed never done it before, well maybe once or twice it wasn’t like anyone was around to stop her. She drove like a young adult probably why no policeman stopped her, though she did want to speed to get to Momo-chan she held herself back that was enough un lady like stunts for today.

It felt like this was a movie or something. That this was the final battle for them both.  If they prevailed, their love wouldn't be touched by anyone ever again. But if they failed? No, she couldn't think that way. Failure wasn't an option for either of them, she had renounced the Renai family, renounced everything that was given to her. Starting from now on, she'd build her own world, with the woman she declared she'd run for Etoile with.  She finished her packing and then ran down the stairs. 

It was starting to get a little cloudy outside but still sunny. When her lover told her she'd be there, she knew she would be. She smiled as she thought about the two of them spending the rest of the day, no, spending the rest of their lives together. No more being oppressed by people who through the so-called blood ties abused them and mistreated them.  Once Michelle pulled up, her smile beamed wider than ever and she ran to the car, as Michelle's window pulled down, she kissed Michelle on the lips.

"Michelle-sama!  Michelle-sama! I missed you so much." Momo started sobbing uncontrollably, all the pain she held up in her heart being unleashed at this moment. When she knew the one and only person she could trust was right there to guide her, to console her.  This woman who made her go doki-doki and who was like a teacher and a best friend to her as well.  "I'm sorry, for calling you out here on short notice..." She said, trying to act prim and proper like she knew Michelle would expect of her. 

The kiss felt right especially now, like she had fought for the right thing. " Of course i came for you, besides it may sound odd but i am ready to go back to our home, St Miator."

Calling the school home was a odd thing, but like the kiss she had been given it felt right. The school had given her everything she wanted so far she was happy there when Momo-chan was around. As Momoko got into the leather seat beside her she waited only a moment to hear the click of the seat belt. Starting the sports car again with hum of the motor filling the air she took off again. 

Though she had never drove her own way to the school she knew how to find it, it was like a baby bird fully grown coming home again. It wasn't long till they found their way on the hill road, they could see the school as they drove up. The hum of the car became soft as Michele pulled the car over parking it best she could in between to cars. She was happy not to be driving any longer she unclipped her seat belt leaving the car she opened Momo-chans door, seeing the sight she truly had wanted to look at all the way.

All that was left for them to do was walk the path to the school's gate. The sun had set, but it was still decently early. They still had time before the gate's doors were locked, soon she could old this young woman even if not allowed she would have Momoko sleep over. Besides rules did not seem to apply for tonight. 

( Mean while )

Mr lunar left the aunts home seeing as his car was stolen by his daughter he called a taxi, holding his now back and blue cheek he dialed another number.


“ Mr Renai how did it go?”


“Not well my daughter has run away”


“ hmm so that is why she left in such a hurry, not remorse for hitting me.’


“She hit you?, this is getting out of hand, I hate to say this but should we put the plan in action?”


“ i-its for the best, call him…and let god forgive us”

“…....” Click-



Unknowing to the girls pulling up to the school’s path a man takes a phone call. “Ah Mr Renai “


“They are on their way, we want to put the plan in action … but remember this is an ACT! Nothing is to harm these girls, my Momoko.”

“ yea,yea I can play the part, as long as I get paid as promised.”


“Of course”


“Then let the show begin”


“ Okay but remember its just a ac-“

The man tossed the phone into the wood as he waited for Michelle and Momoko to come into sight holding a knife in hand it glistened in the moons light.

In this moment, everything seemed blissful. In this moment, everything seemed like it would be okay. The anger that her father arouse in her, dissipated and was all but completely gone. Her lover had kidnapped her like a prince, taking her princess and took her back to their castle, back to St. Miator. She had took her lover's hand as it was offered to her and pulled herself out of the car and into her lover's arms, in a loving embrace.  

"I can't believe this is real, I can't believe I'm back in your arms again." Momo said happily as she leaned in and kissed her lover once again, her tiny arms wrapped around her beloved Michelle-sama's neck as their lips merged.  "I love you so much, Michelle-sama."  As the door closed, she held her love's hand and began chuckling. "We both really did it huh? We claimed our independence. It feels so freeing."

They both began to walk, the leaves which have long fallen were crinkled on the ground.  But some trees were evergreen trees and Momo made some small talk about it.  "I like that the evergreen trees are well, still green but I never really grew too fond of the green trees. I like the cherry blossoms better, like me ^.^"  She linked arms and then blushed, as she whispered.

"You know, what we did when we studied math together? I was wondering if we could do something like that tonight." She asked innocently, blushing nervously. She had hoed that her Michelle-sama didn't think wrongly of her for asking. She didn't want to be uncouth, she just wanted to feel even more love with her lover.  She heard more crinkling leaves, but there were no leaves on the ground where they were now.

"Eeep, did you hear something Michelle-Sama?"  Momo asked, a little bit nervously.  

She embraced the girl closely not wanting this feeling to fade she heard the soft sweet sound of her lovers words she only nodded amazed all they had overcome to be here. She only took a moment to look at her reddened knuckles as she lightly laughed along with her girlfriend “We did, I am proud we fought… I just wish we didn’t need to but, I never will regret it. “


The slight breeze hit them moving hair across both their faces. After it subsided if only for a moment she moved the strands from her face then Momo-chans ; as they kissed again she hugged her lover closely. She let her go only to make their way to the path, the dim lite pathway wasn’t much she just wanted to find it and get back to the dorms to continue what Momo-chan had started. Yet some how even on this dim lite path her flower found beauty. “ I will admit they have a nice smell, I love pine…but as for the look I agree you look far better.


As they walked it seemed like it was going to rain, she could feel the soft mist wonder around her body. She didn’t mind but would be glad to be in the dorms. Though it was the start of spring the winter chill still lingered, only making the want to hold Momo-chan in her arms stronger. She looked at the girl beside her, shivering. Slipping off a sleeve she felt a tingle cross her arm, it wasn’t terrible but noticeable as she took off the rest of the warm fabric she laid it across the smaller girl’s shoulders. “I wouldn’t want you to catch cold especially after the day you’ve had.”


Michelle knew this was true but she was happy she wore a sweater today. They were getting closer to the gate; soon enough having a jacket would be no problem.

She noted that they had stayed close; the warmth of her little flower was nice. It wasn’t hard for them to get close though, it was always nice but tonight she made sure to take note of it. The young girl she loved so much was now hers; yes she may never have her family business, after she had hit her father. The pain from her hand and the possible loss of the winery no longer mattered, as long as she had Momo-chan. She could feel a slight tickle across her neck, it was pink and soft her girlfriend’s hair had whisked to the side finding a home across Michelle’s back. She listened to her love though the soft noise of wind as it became loader. “ I think I can be persuaded to reenact our math lesson.”


She spoke softly but winked to Momo-chan flirting with the young woman beside her was fun, yet something stopped the fun. Momo-chan had heard something and had scooted even closer causing Michelle to find her footing so not to trip. Her arm naturally went across Momo-chan’s shoulders, what was it a crow? Raccoon perhaps?

Suddenly her thoughts were interrupted, and her guesses became wishes as the figure beside them was no animal. At first all she saw was something glisten in the dim light pulling Momo-chan in front of her own body protectively, she now was closer to the figure, which even in this protecting mood had her unsettled.

At first all she saw was something glisten in the dim light pulling Momo-chan in front of her own body protectively, she now was closer to the figure, which even in this protecting mood had her unsettled.

As she was pulled behind her beloved Michelle-sama, she blinked. She knew this happened once or twice before, as her mother shielded her from her father's abuse. She wondered what it could be, maybe a wild bear or something? But then she noticed that it was much worse than that. A man was holding a knife and slowly and steadily approaching them.  "Who are you?" Momo asked. Normally, she'd be afraid or she'd try to run. But she's had enough of that. She's going to fight, along with her Michelle-sama.

"I'm just someone with a warning, you shouldn't be going out with another girl. It's only natural to go out with other guys!"  He said as he started to run towards 
the two of them and Michelle pushed Momo away to protect her, as she wrestled with the guy.   "Go, my beloved Momo-chan. Go and get the teachers!"

"But...." Momo said, hesitating. She didn't want to leave her lover here with this deranged mad man, threatening their lives.  "Hurry!" Michelle shouted. And that stunned Momo. Through all their time together, she had never heard her Michelle-sama raise her voice.  But the man quickly overpowered Michelle, knocking her to the ground and making  her love groan in pain was all Momo needed to spring into action as she rammed her shoulder into the guy, knocking him off her and he was forced to drop the knife.

"Damn, remember this!  There'll be more like me after you, as long as you two pretend you're in love!" He shouted as he got up and started to run, and Momo shouted back "We're not pretending! I love Michelle-sama.  She's the woman I want to marry!" She blushed as she made that confession.  She extended her hand to Michelle.

"Michelle-sama, are you okay?" she asked as she extended a hand to let her up. 

She wasn’t worried with the words the man spoke, sputtering similar words as her father and other haters. No what worried Michelle was what he held. The sharp piece of metal wasn’t large, yet it was something to be feared. She held Momo-chan close and to the side away from the figure as his silly speech continued. Michelle would have kept them moving but she didn’t not like turning her back on the man. Especially as each word he said he waved back and forth like an agitated ocean. As his words were about to end the swing of the knife became more frequent.


Then it happened, a crack noise sprung into the air as he moved, causing the branches and leaves underfoot to crack. He was fast, she didn’t waste time almost throwing Momoko behind her she tackled the man. “ go get the teachers ! “ Was all that left her lips. . As their bodies hit the ground his hitting with a loud thud, he began to wrestle with Michelle angrily trying to throw her off. “HURRY! “was all she yelled out as she tried to force the knife from the man’s grip. Something in all this caused Michelle to gasp unheard with in the whispering wind and poring rains. Both Michelle and the man have been soaked. Finally a twisted action of letting the man go and the man kicking Michelle off caused the fight to get the Knife away ended. The metal slid across the path causing a scrapping sound as it left the sight of both man and woman.


Michelle hit the ground hard, it hurt and so did her side, she wasn’t sure if the pain came from the side of her arm hitting the path, or something worse. It all took her breath away and everything started to feel the same, damp, cold yet somehow warm as she held her side. She only saw snippets of Momo-chan’s movements she had knocked the man down, Michelle had thought she had, everything was becoming fuzzy, and the details seemed to vanish as Momo-chan came to her yelling something, marriage? Love? All she could do now was focus on those last words she needed that to be a possibility for them, she needed to get Momoko somewhere safe.


She nodded her mind to foggy to speak as she took Momoko’s now damp hand. Each step hurt more and it didn’t help that the closeness of the gated doors seemed so far as fear set in...... TO BE CONTINUED ( at gate)
