(Part Three - Mortals that Breathe) The next morning was of a peaceful change.. We both came to realize our actions, and of our hearts; we met outside in the flow of the afternoon.. Tsunami felt needing to apologize, not used to mortality's flaws I apologized for my advoidances; not use to the attention lauded, I had to chuckle.. We took enjoyment of breakfast, along with the family... We laughed at the continuing Tenchi "struggle"; Reoko and Ayeka need some decaffeination.. Then we took a simple walk, along the shore where we first met.. We ended up near the storage shelter, along with a large cherry blossom grove We ended the day watching a approaching storm, the dark clouds were intriguing Tsunami was startled by a nearby thunderclap; backed into me.. So, instinctively; wrapped an arm around her... a change from last night.. We just cuddled in the doorway, watching the storm pass.... The next day was as peaceful, so I help around the shrine... Until. Tsunami learned from Sasami... apparently they made plans Tenchi/Sasami.. Me/Tsunami... a double date... *chuckle* Even had the blessing of Ayeka, though Reoko was tied down when she said it.. We ended up in Okiyama.. (Still can't get the name right) Did the simple things: a restaurant, movie show, minor gift shopping.. Then Tsunami bought the most incredible dress, pure white and flowing Said we should try it out at the local dance hall, a dance coincided succinctly The four of us took turns exchanging dances and stories.. Tsunami was radiant, the air softened with romance Then a particular sonnet tinged the atmosphere I found myself taking a hand I once had apprehension We just simply flowed across the night, not to be outpaced by the moon.. I lost my last vessel of fear that night, we were just a couple now We also happened to forget the time; it was Two Hours later when we stopped Tsunami fell asleep in my arms, as Tenchi and I took in small talk The next painting I composed the next day was all my own... I poured every ounce of passion in it, not caring about my fears. When finished, Washu was the first to cry first; so did Reoko (Suprised?) Then Tsunami saw it; a soft picture of her behind a sea of cherry blossoms She went beyond overjoyed, I must have lost a brain cell when she hugged me I felt a proper way of acknowledging her was needed; I felt anyway.. I need a way to give a goddess a night of memories, last night was good But what I had planned was even grander, the heart was desiring of it.. (End Part Three)
