Hibari just hugged her partner tightly burrying her head in morikos neck just clinging to her quietly. her fingertips ran lightly over the other girls lower back letting her know it was ok. She fought desperatly to keep all negative thoughts from her head if only to keep Moriko calm. She didn't know how long she stayed like that or anything that happened during that time, she just relaxed and kept her grip around Morikos waist. Without realizing it she fell into a deep calm sleep. "M...mori...chan"

Taking deep breaths, Moriko held the smaller girl close. Seeing that she was asleep, she sighed and calmed down as she realized the pink haired girl was not angry at her. "I don't know how..but I think I'm falling for her and its only been a day." she whispered as she held the girl. Standing up with her in her arms, she carried her to the window and sat down in a chair. Gently she let the breeze cool her body as she cradled the girl in her lap. "I think....I might not go insane this year."

With a smile she looked down at the sleeping girl and kissed her forehead. Her own heartbeat was slowly going down as her panicked state disappeared. She felt fair foolish at how she acted just a minute ago, but words just came out of her mouth, and her body was reacting. 'It was like I couldn't figure out reality or my dream. It was so mixed and confusing. What am I going to do? I can't break down like that anymore. I gotta be stronger than that.' she thought to herself. 'I need more discipline and self-control.'

Continuing to sleep even though she's starting to shiver. Snuggling closer to Moriko she absorbs the heat coming off of her. Her fingers cling to mori's shirt leaving small wrinkles in the material. Her eyes start to flutter open as she looks up at Moriko watching her silently. she snuggled closer and shifted.

"You awake?" she whispered as she held the girl a little closer to her body heat. Her fingers played along her sides and back as she held her. "You want to go outside for a bit at all, or just want to stay here?" she asked as she looked at the other girl. Moriko felt a lot calmer now that she had a breeze blowing across her skin. Reaching up, she closed the window so Hibari wouldn't be so cold. "We could go get a bite to eat as well if that sounds good to you?"

Looking at her, her bi-colored eyes were questioning but looked like a placid lake now. Calm and cool, yet shining happily with a suns reflection. Her tousled hair stuck out every which way, and she smiled.

Hibari smiled softly and nodded "I'd like that very much" she said "just let me get dressed first ok?" Climbing out of Moriko's arms (momentarily forgetting about her injured foor) she hissed in pain falling over to land on her bottom. using her crutches to lift herself she makes her way to her dresser getting her clothes before disappearing behind the bathroom door dressing warmly for their day out together.

Smiling softly, Moriko dressed herself as well, and yawned a bit. Rubbing her eyes and trying to smooth down her hair, she smiled as she sat on her bed and pulled her shoes on. Grimacing slightly, she realized that they were still a little wet from the other day. "Great...oh well..I'll just carry them along, and hopefully they'll dry soon." she whispered as she tied the laces together once more and stuffed some clean socks into them to put on later. Sitting on her bed, she pulled out a book and read while Hibari got ready.

The book was creased and well red by the look of the worn cover and yellowing pages. She had been looking t get a new book sometime, but had never had the pocket money to do so, nor the time. 'I'll call and see if one of my brothers can pick one up and send it to me. That should work. I wonder if Hibari wants anything.'

Coming out of the bathroom looking a bit frazzled hibari sat beside moriko a blush on her cheeks. her pants were half hanging off her as she was having great difficulty getting the leg over her injured foot. "c...could you help me..." she whispered sp deeply embarrased and ashamed. keeping her attention on anything but morko at this particular moment hibari sighed in defeat finally realizing she needed help. atleast while she was healing.

Blushing a deep red, Moriko nodded as she set her book down. Kneeling in front of the girl, and taking in a shaky breath as she stared at the smooth expanse of skin that lay before her eyes. Sliding her hand inside the pant leg, she gently grabbed Hibari's ankle and eased her leg inside of it. When it was out the other side, she gently lifted the girl so she could button her pants without needing the crutches to stand.

"Um..you look..amazing Hibari. Did you want to go look at the Cherry Blossom trees at all?" she asked as she looked away from the girl. Her eyes were closed and a deep flush covered her cheeks. 'Oh my god...She's so gorgeous. Her skin looks so smooth. I wonder if it feels like silk..No. Stop thinking those thoughts. God I'm so glad she can't hear me.'

"I'm up for anything Mori-chan. Anything you want to do will be fine...as long as I'm with you..." she smiled softly her pink eyes twinkling happily. Pulling herself up on her crutches she hobbled to the door and lightly pushed it open before standing just outside of it "you coming?" she asked with a soft giggle before turning and starting on her way.

Once the other girl was out with her she let her take the lead needing to lean on her as she descended the stairs with more than a bit of difficulty, but her determination to be independent won out and she managed to get down them without asking for help. Though by the time she set foot on solid ground again she was tired.

Glancing over at Moriko she blushed lightly remembering their kiss. She never knew how good one simple action could feel and how much it could affect her emotions. Her entire being felt confused. On one hand she knew she was falling for her, but on the other, and unfortuately more prevailant hand she was afraid that if she got too emotionally attached to Moriko the girl would leave her. The only thing she was absolutly sure of was that she most definatly would not mind kissing her again. The kissing was nice.

Looking out over the school grounds she spotted the cherry blossom trees "Look mori! There they are!" moving as best as she could she went for them making sure the silver haired girl was following. Making it to them she looked up happily a smile of pure childlike wonder on her features. "Aren't they beautiful? I love cherry blossoms"

Following behind the girl, Moriko smiled and made sure that the girl didn't over do it. Her mind kept going back to that kiss as she resisted the urge to touch her lips, feeling the kiss lingering there. "Yeah, beautiful." she whispered her eyes never leaving the girl. She was trying to memorize the happy look on the girl's face as she twirled around in the falling blossoms. She could feel a few brush against her neck and cheeks.

Sitting down under the tree, legs spread before her, tan legs showing from beneath the shorts, she closed her eyes and rested. Soon she fell into a light nap face peaceful as a cherry blossom fell onto her nose and on her hair. The soft wind played with her hair and shirt. "Hm..relax with me Bari-chan..." she whispered as she succumbed to the warmth of the sun and the sweet smell of the blossoms on the breeze.

Not feeling her instantly sit down, she grabbed the girl and used one of her legs to help pull the girl back against her chest. "Just relax.."she whispered and wrapped her arms around the girls waist. Pulling Hibari's back against her chest, she slept on again, breathing warm air against her neck as she leaned her head back against the trunk of the tree. The filtering light played along their bodies as they relaxed in the afternoon sun.
