A Changing Relationship
by
Matt Burns <mburns31@my-dejanews.com>

"Minako-chan's late again?" asked Usagi.

"It looks that way, Usagi-chan." Ami replied. "We may as well get started
without her."

Makoto had just arrived at Rei's shrine. Clouds filled the sky on this
mid-spring day, and it looked as if it would rain later. Usagi, Rei and Ami
were relaxing in Rei's room, preparing to begin their study meeting. Makoto
walked in to join them, taking off her coat and setting it aside. She took a
seat at the table and set her books down in front of her, ready to begin
what had become routine over the past couple of years.

Every day, after school, they would gather here to study for a couple of
hours.
Ami would try to help them with anything they were having trouble with, and
usually was successful. Makoto was certain that everyone's grades had
improved as a result of Ami's help.

Even Usagi's. Though they were by no means good, her grades had shown a
definite improvement. But they were into their second year of high school
now, and she was really struggling. So Ami would devote extra time to
helping Usagi, sometimes even staying after she and Minako had left, or
going over to her house on weekends. It was as if Ami had made a promise to
herself: Usagi would graduate from high school, no matter what it took.

Of course, Makoto knew that she needed Ami's help too. Her grades weren't
all that much better than Usagi's.

For her part, she made the snacks. After they'd been studying for half an
hour,
they'd take a snack break. She'd pass around whatever she had made, and
everyone would eat, welcoming the chance to relax for a bit. Everyone would
always let her know that her snacks were good.

Once, Usagi had spoken up: "Mako-chan, you always make our snacks. Why
don't you take a break once in a while? I could make something for us next
time."

Everyone had looked more than a little nervous at this suggestion. Usagi was
lucky if she could make tea without a disaster. Makoto had quickly replied,
"No, it's fine, Usagi-chan. I enjoy cooking for all of you."

"Okay, Mako-chan." Usagi had never raised the issue again, much to
everyone's relief.

In truth, Makoto did enjoy cooking. Not only did she enjoy the activity, she
felt that it helped to make her seem more feminine. Maybe if she'd been more
interested in cooking a few years ago, her senpai wouldn't have...

Makoto stopped her thoughts before they could go too far down that road. The
others were all opening their books, and she started to do so herself, then
stopped.

"Don't you think we should wait a little longer for Minako-chan to show up?"
she asked.

"Well, Usagi-chan has a big test in English tomorow, and we're going to need
all the time we can get." said Ami.

"Besides, you know where she is, Mako-chan." Rei smirked. "She's out with
her new boyfriend. Who knows how long it'll take her to get here?"

Makoto was sure that Rei was right. Minako had met a guy from the volleyball
team about a month ago and she'd been spending most of her time with him
ever since. She was almost always late to their study groups these days and
had even missed it entirely once. She had apologized the next day and
promised never to miss their group again, and so far she hadn't, but that
didn't stop her from usually being late.

And when Minako was there, it was hard to get any studying done at all! She
was always going on about this guy she'd met, about how cool he was, about
how cute he was, about how much she liked his laugh... On and on and on,
until someone (usually Rei, but occasionally it would be Ami) lost their
temper and yelled at her to be quiet. And it seemed that only then would
Minako realize what she'd been doing, and she'd apologize, and start in on
her studying.

Of course, by that time, it was usually almost time to go.

Still, if she was happy, they were all happy for her. None of them had ever
met this guy, but Minako kept promising to bring him by sometime to
introduce him. So far she hadn't, though. Makoto was sure that she meant to,
but... They all knew Minako. She'd probably been distracted by something
every time she'd thought of it.

Well, just because Minako was distracted didn't mean they should be. "You're
right, Rei-chan. Let's get started." said Makoto. "There's something here I
need your help with, Ami-chan. This problem here..." She was interrupted by
the door sliding open.

"Hey everyone." Minako stood in the doorway. Not for the first time, Makoto
admired her friend. She often wished that she looked more like her. Shorter,
with less muscle and more soft curves, Minako was beautiful. Makoto again
found herself wondering what it was like to be that beautiful.

Then she noticed. Minako was still in her school uniform, which was odd.
Their study group didn't meet until an hour after school was over, to give
everyone time to go home and change clothes, and for Rei to get her chores
done at the shrine. Minako should have been changed by now.

Also, her face was slightly flushed. It looked like she'd been crying.

The others noticed it too. "Minako-chan, is something wrong?" asked Usagi.

"Did something happen with your boyfriend?" Makoto asked. Recently Minako
had begun referring to him that way.

"What? Oh, him. We broke up." She looked down at the floor.

"What? Minako-chan, really?" Usagi said, immediately looking concerned.
Everyone else spoke up as well, asking what happened, was she okay. Makoto
went to her and guided her to her place at the table. As she sat down,
Minako
said, "We broke up. I'd rather not talk about it. Please, can we just
study?"

"Well... Of course, Minako-chan. If you're sure that's what you want." said
Ami. Minako nodded. And they began, but the atmosphere was subdued, nothing
like it usually was. Makoto often looked up from her work, to see Minako
staring down at her books, looking for all the world like she was about to
cry.

***

The study group wound down after a couple of hours. As expected, Ami had
spent most of her time helping Usagi with her English. Still, it hadn't been
enough.

"We'll need to study a while longer, Usagi-chan." said Ami.

"I'm sorry, I'd let you stay here, but we're having a ceremony tonight and I
need to help prepare." said Rei.

"Well, you can come over to my house for dinner, Ami-chan. My parents would
love to have you." said Usagi. "But I don't think Minako-chan should be
alone right now."

Minako started to protest, saying she was fine. Makoto said, "Don't worry,
Usagi-chan. I'll walk home with her. Is that okay, Minako-chan?"

Minako hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Yes, I'd appreciate the
company."

They said their goodbyes and left the shrine. Usagi cast a concerned glance
at
Minako as they left, but apparentely was reassured by Makoto going with her.
She waved as she and Ami rounded the corner, and Makoto waved back. Then,
they turned and started the walk to Minako's house.

They walked in silence for a while, keeping their pace slow. Minako didn't
seem to be in any hurry, and neither was Makoto. The blonde stared ahead as
they walked, seemingly lost in thought.

Finally, to break the silence, Makoto said, "Usagi-chan was worried about
you, you know."

Minako said nothing.

"We all were, Minako-chan. We still are. Why don't you tell me what
happened? It might help to talk about it."

Minako slowly nodded. "Maybe you're right, Mako-chan. It might help."

They were almost to Minako's house, but she turned and walked into a nearby
park. Makoto followed her in, past groups of children playing. They
continued deeper into the park, and they came to an empty bench in front of
a large cherry blossom tree. The area was relatively free of people and
offered some privacy. Minako sat, motioning for Makoto to sit beside her. As
she sat down, Makoto said, "So what happened?"

Minako sighed. "He said that we'd had a lot of fun together, but he wanted a
'serious' relationship. He said he didn't feel he could have that with me."

"Well..." Makoto began, but the blonde wasn't finished.

"I know what he meant. He meant that I was too 'crazy' to be a good
girlfriend! He wanted someone more 'normal'. I guess I wasn't 'normal'
enough for him." She looked down, then abruptly shook her head. "No, I'm
through crying over him. He's not worth it." But she looked as if she wasn't
sure.

Makoto reached out and hugged her. Minako returned the hug, resting her head
on the taller girl's shoulder. Makoto held her for a moment, then said
"You're right, Minako-chan. Anybody stupid enough to break up with you isn't
worth crying over."

Minako looked up at her and smiled. Her smile increased her beauty tenfold.
"Thank you, Mako-chan." She sat up out of the embrace and looked at Makoto.
"Would you mind if I asked you something personal?"

"No, not at all. What is it?" Makoto replied.

Minako looked thoughtful for a moment, as if unsure how to ask her question.
"Your senpai... Why did you two break up?"

Makoto hesitated. Finally she said, "He never told me why. He just told me
it
was over and left me standing there in the rain. But..." She trailed off.

"What?" prompted Minako.

"Well, I always assumed that it was because he wanted someone more feminine.
Someone shorter, less muscular. More beautiful."

"But you don't know that." Minako replied. She paused for a moment, and then
said, "There could be another explanation."

"What do you mean, Minako-chan?" Makoto asked, her curiousity piqued.

"Have you ever thought that maybe he was insecure? Maybe he couldn't believe
that someone as beautiful as you would stay with him, so he broke up with
you before you could leave him. Maybe that's the reason." Minako reached out
and put her hand on Makoto's arm. "Because I can't believe that he didn't
find you attractive." Minako looked her right in the eye and said, "I think
you're very beautiful, Mako-chan."

Makoto blushed slightly. "Minako-chan, I..." She stopped. There was
something in Minako's gaze that held her. It was a different look from
anything she'd seen before from her friend. Her eyes held warmth and
friendship, but something more as well. She was suddenly very aware of the
other girl's hand on her arm. She tried to speak, but seemed to be at a loss
for words. The air around them felt perfectly still. It was as if time
itself had stopped.

Suddenly, Makoto felt the first few drops of rain on her head and shoulders.
She stood up and said hurriedly, "I'm sorry Minako-chan, but I have to get
home. I have a lot more studying to do."

"I should be getting home too. Thank you for walking me home, Mako-chan.
I'll see you tomorow."

"Yes... See you tomorow, Minako-chan." The girls left the park, heading in
opposite directions. As the rain picked up, Makoto started running down the
street toward her apartment. She was unsure about what had just happened.
Was Minako actually attracted to her? She couldn't imagine such a thing. But
what if she was?

Makoto reached her apartment and hurried inside. The rain was falling
steadily now, and there was no sound inside except the water hitting the
roof. She walked in and set her books on the counter between her kitchen and
living room. She decided that the best thing to do was to begin her homework
immediately, and after starting some water for tea, she did just that.

She found herself unable to concentrate, however. Her thoughts kept going
back to that moment in the park, and what it might have meant. She soon gave
up on her homework and began making dinner, but even while cooking she could
think of nothing else.

After dinner, she cleaned up and then went to bed early. She laid awake for
hours, tossing and turning but unable to fall asleep amidst the noise of her
thoughts. Finally, she slipped into a troubled sleep filled with dreams of
an
angelic face framed by golden hair.

***

Makoto awoke the next day with the sun peeking through the crack between her
bedroom curtains. She stood, stretched, and put on her robe. Walking over to
the window, she pulled open the curtains. The day outside was clear and
bright. The sunrise was beautiful, and Makoto stood and watched for a few
minutes before turning around and heading out into the kitchen.

As she started some eggs for breakfast, Makoto wondered how much sleep she'd
gotten last night. She hadn't slept very well, she knew that much. Her
dreams... She shivered, even though there was no chill in her kitchen. She'd
never had dreams like those about anyone before. Not even her senpai.

She abruptly shook her head. Best not to think about that now. She quickly
finished her breakfast, showered, put on her school clothes, and opened the
door. It was warm outside, even though it was early morning. She decided
there was no need for a coat today, and started to walk to school.

Her thoughts kept drifting back to yesterday. Even after she got to school,
she
was unable to concentrate on any of her classes. The day seemed to drag on,
with her lost in thought most of the time. After school was over, she
returned home and began making the snacks for the study group. Today was
Friday, so they probably wouldn't get much studying done. Without the
pressure of tests or assignments the next day, the group tended to drift
away from studying and into talk about other things. Even Ami was more
lenient on Fridays, usually giving up on trying to get them to study after a
short time.

After she finished making the snacks, Makoto went into her bedroom to
change. She stood in front of her closet for a few minutes before finally
deciding on her sleeveless green dress. As she changed, she wondered what
would happen with Minako today. Would she want to walk home with her again?
Would she want to talk about what had happened yesterday? She told herself
that she was probably worrying over nothing. Being Minako, she probably
would have forgotten about the whole thing. Makoto was surprised to find
that she was a little disappointed by that thought.

***

At the study group, Usagi was ecstatic.

"I got a 'C' on my English test! A 'C'! And it was all thanks to your help,
Ami-
chan! Thank you thank you thank you!"

They were gathered closely around the table, looking at Usagi's test paper.
When they had arrived, Usagi's first concern had been for Minako, but she
had smiled and assured everyone that she was fine. Everyone looked relieved,
although no one seemed too surprised. They all knew that Minako had a
remarkable ability to bounce back quickly from almost anything. With that
out of the way, Usagi had gone on to show off her grade.

"You're welcome, Usagi-chan." Ami replied. "But I think you should study
harder and try for better grades. You shouldn't be this happy over a 'C'.
Why, if I ever got a 'C' in anything... I don't know what I'd do."

Makoto smiled. If Ami ever got a 'C'... She'd probably faint. Not that Ami
would ever, under any circumstances, allow herself to get a 'C'.

"But, Ami-chan, this is the best I've ever done in English! This calls for a
celebration!"

"Oh, Usagi-chan? And just what are you going to do to celebrate?" Rei asked.

"I have a date with Mamo-chan! He's taking me out to dinner." Usagi smiled
broadly in anticipation.

"So what do the rest of you want to do tonight?" said Rei.

Minako spoke up, "We haven't been over to Mako-chan's in a while." She
looked at Makoto and smiled.

Makoto heart leapt to her throat, but she gave no outward sign. "That's
true... I
could make dinner for everyone." she said.

Rei and Ami smiled and said that they would love to have dinner there.
Minako said, "Great! Shall we meet there, say, an hour after we're done
here?"

Everyone agreed, although Usagi looked a little disappointed. "I'm going to
miss one of Mako-chan's dinners?"

"Yes, but don't forget your date with Mamoru, Usagi-chan." said Ami.

"Well, yes, but still... I know! I'll come over for dinner before I go on my
date
with Mamo-chan!"

"What? But you said you were going to have dinner with him! You'd be having
another dinner right after the first one!" said Rei.

"That's okay! I can eat both of them!" Usagi smiled, confident that she had
found the perfect plan.

Everyone else sighed and rolled their eyes. Some things never changed.

***

"Mako-chan, that was delicious. Thank you." said Ami.

Rei and Minako quickly spoke up with their agreement. Makoto had made
tempura shrimp and vegetables for dinner, and everyone had asked for
seconds. Fortunately, she had made enough. In the years she'd known them,
she had gotten a fairly good idea of her friends' appetites. If Usagi had
been there, she would have made quite a bit more, but she had decided that
she didn't have enough time to come over for dinner without being late for
her date. If there was one thing Usagi would never be late for, it was a
date with Mamoru.

Makoto said, "You're welcome. It's nice to have you over here. I don't often
have guests." She smiled. "Why don't you go into the living room and I'll
make some tea." She began picking up the dishes from the table.

"Let me help you with that, Mako-chan." said Minako, and gathered up the
dishes from the other end of the table. Ami and Rei stood up and walked into
the living room.

Makoto carried the dishes over to the sink and turned on the water. Minako
walked behind her and leaned past her to put more dishes in the sink,
brushing
against her as she did so. Makoto noticed that her hair smelled faintly of
herbal soap.

As Minako placed her dishes in the sink, she looked up at Makoto and smiled.
"Thank you for dinner, Mako-chan. I really liked it."

"You're welcome, Minako-chan. I'm glad you enjoyed it." The close proximity
of the blonde had her heart pounding.

Minako smiled again and turned and walked into the living room. Makoto
busied herself preparing the tea, and by the time it was ready, she was more
or
less calmed down. She took a deep breath and walked into the living room
with the teapot and cups.

***

The girls sat and talked for a while, with their conversation covering a
wide
range of things. They stayed away from the subject of boys, however. Minako
seemed to be okay, but no one wanted to bring up what might be a sore
subject so soon.

After a couple of hours, Rei stood up and said that it was time for her to
go.
"Grandpa will be worried about me if I don't get home soon."

Ami said, "I'd better be getting home too. It was fun, though. Thanks for
having us over, Mako-chan."

"You're welcome. See you later." She walked to the door to see them off.
After they left, Makoto walked back into the living room. Minako was still
sitting on the couch, and Makoto sat down at the other end. Minako turned to
face her, looking into her eyes with a slight smile on her face. Her yellow
dress matched her hair almost perfectly. Now that they were alone, all of
Makoto's anxiety from earlier had returned in full force. She forced herself
to take regular breaths, in the hope it would help her relax.

Minako moved closer to her on the couch, stopping when there was only about
a foot of space left between them. "That was fun." she said.

"Yes, it was." Makoto replied. A moment passed in silence.

"I like that dress, Mako-chan." Minako said.

"Thank you, Minako-chan." she replied, somewhat surprised that her voice
wasn't shaking.

"Green is definitely your color."

They laughed, breaking some of the tension. "You think so?" Makoto asked.
They both knew full well what her sailor fuku looked like.

Minako put her hand on Makoto's forearm. There was an electricity in her
touch, a current that seemed to move through Makoto's body and back to the
other girl's hand. Minako started moving her thumb back and forth slowly,
and Makoto began to feel as though the temperature in the room had gone up.

Minako leaned forward slowly and kissed her. The kiss was gentle, with
Minako's lips barely brushing hers at first. Makoto moved in closer,
pressing her lips against Minako's a bit more forcefully. Minako opened her
mouth, and Makoto followed suit. Their tongues met, sliding around each
other to enter the other's mouth. She pulled Minako closer to her and they
embraced.

After a moment, Makoto pulled back. It definitely felt hotter in her
apartment
now. She leaned forward again, but Minako said, "Wait." Standing up,
Minako's hands went behind her back and she began to unfasten her dress. As
each fastener came undone, Minako's dress hung more loosely on her. After
she had opened them all, she moved her shoulders and let the dress fall to
the floor around her feet. Her bra and panties were pink and trimmed with
lace.

Makoto stared at her friend, mesmerized by the sight of her standing only in
her underwear. She was incredibly beautiful. She had always thought that
Minako was beautiful, but this time she felt more than just admiration. She
felt... desire. She wanted to touch that beauty and be close to it. She
could feel her body beginning to respond to the sight in front of her.

"Your turn." Minako said. Makoto started to reach for her dress, but Minako
smiled and said, "Let me." The blonde sat down on the couch in front of
Makoto and reached around behind her. She could feel Minako opening the
buttons of her dress, and as the last one came open, Minako slowly slid the
dress down until it was around Makoto's waist.

Makoto lifted herself off the couch and pushed her dress down until it had
joined Minako's on the floor. Her own underwear was plain white cotton,
purely functional. She suddenly felt self conscious, thinking that she must
appear quite unattractive next to the vision of beauty that was right next
to her. She felt that she was too tall, too hard. Her breasts seemed too
large, unlike Minako's, which were perfectly in proportion with the rest of
her body.

Minako seemed to sense what she was feeling. "Mako-chan, you have nothing to
be ashamed of. You're beautiful." Minako pulled her close and kissed her
again, more passionately this time. Makoto could feel the other girl's hands
unhook her bra, and she shrugged out of the straps, letting the garment fall
on to the couch.

Breaking off their kiss, Minako slid her hands around to Makoto's sides, and
then further forward onto her breasts. Makoto felt her nipples instantly
harden at the blonde's touch, and a soft moan escaped her lips. Minako
continued to caress her breasts for a few moments, sending waves of pleasure
through the taller girl.

"I certainly don't think they're too big" said Minako, as though she had
read
Makoto's thoughts again. With that, she leaned in and placed her mouth on
one of Makoto's nipples, and at the same moment she pinched the other
softly.

Makoto gasped as the sensations ran through her body. She could feel Minako
sucking slightly on her breast, and that coupled with her hand on the other
one
almost caused her to lose all control. "Oh... Minako-chan... That feels so
good." she said, and began running her fingers through the other girl's
hair.

All Makoto's anxiety was gone now, driven away by the rush of feelings
overtaking her. She had never gone this far with anyone before - even with
her senpai it had been confined to just kissing - and the fact that it was
Minako, one of her closest friends, doing this to her made it even more
exciting.

Minako placed her other hand on Makoto's stomach and moved it downward
until it was right above her panties, which were soaked by now. She grabbed
them in the front and tugged downward. Makoto reached down to help her, and
they quickly had her panties off. Makoto kicked them over onto one of the
chairs.

Makoto leaned back on the couch as Minako gently ran her fingers over her
now exposed mound. Makoto was wetter than she had ever been before in her
life, and Minako's fingers moved easily around her lips. She opened her legs
to give Minako easier access to her, and the blonde took advantage of it.
She parted Makoto's cleft and began running her thumb over the taller girl's
most sensitive area.

Her entire body tensed at the touch, and Minako looked up from her chest and
smiled. "You like that?" she asked. Not waiting for an answer, Minako moved
forward and kissed her deeply. Feeling like her body was on fire, Makoto
returned the kiss, her tongue moving quickly in the other girl's mouth.
After a
moment, Minako pulled away and began kissing her breasts again. She moved
her other hand down between Makoto's legs and slid two of her fingers into
her, moving them around inside her.

Makoto was so excited that she came almost instantly. Her whole body tensed
and she gripped Minako's fingers tightly as her orgasm raced through her.
"Mi... na... ko!" she said, stretching the last syllable out over a few
seconds.

After her orgasm had finished, Makoto slowly began to relax, and Minako was
able to remove her fingers from her. Minako brought them up, placed them in
her mouth, and slowly pulled them back out, savoring the taste. She smiled.

"Minako-chan... Venus... That was wonderful. Thank you." said Makoto.

"You're welcome, Mako-chan." Minako replied. She leaned forward and kissed
Makoto again, and this time Makoto could taste herself on the other girl's
lips and tongue.

Makoto had never felt this close to anyone before, and she wanted to return
the feeling that Minako had given her. But, she thought suddenly, there was
a better place for that.

She stood up. Minako looked up at her questioningly, and Makoto reached down
and picked her up, lifting her easily. She placed one arm behind Minako's
back and the other under her knees.

"Oh... I like this." Minako said, running her hand over Makoto's arm. Makoto
responded by kissing her again. With the blonde in her arms, she walked into
her bedroom and gently set her down on the bed. She then knelt on the bed in
front of Minako and slowly lowered herself on to her. They shared several
quick kisses before moving into a deeper, longer one.

Makoto slid down a bit and began kissing Minako's neck. She playfully bit
Minako on the side of the neck, and the blonde gasped, only partially from
surprise. Makoto slid her hands underneath the other girl, and she responded
by sitting up slightly to allow her to unhook her bra.

She slid the straps down Minako's shoulders, marvelling at how soft her skin
was. After the bra had been discarded, she moved her hands along Minako's
body, tracing her curves. She couldn't remember ever feeling anything so
soft.
She moved her hands down to Minako's hips before bringing them back up and
cupping her breasts.

Minako's breasts were neither small nor large. Makoto had thought that they
were perfectly proportioned before, and seeing them bare before her
confirmed that. The nipples were a light pink. She caressed them gently and
felt them grow hard underneath her hands. Minako laid back down on the bed
and sighed with pleasure.

Makoto placed kisses all over her breasts, kissing every inch of the flesh,
saving the nipples for last. When she finally reached them, she quickly ran
her tongue over them, first one, then the other, and felt Minako shiver
slightly beneath her. "Mako-chan..." she breathed.

Makoto responded by taking one of Minako's nipples in her mouth. She sucked
on it for a moment, and then began to nibble on it slightly, hard enough so
that the blonde could feel it, but not so hard that it hurt. After a moment
she moved over and gave the other one the same treatment.

"Oh, yes, Mako-chan..." Minako said, placing her hands on the taller girl's
head. She arched her back, and Makoto looked up and saw that she had closed
her eyes. Makoto knew how she must be feeling at that moment.

She put her hands on Minako's hips and began to slide her panties downward.
Minako lifted herself off the bed slightly and Makoto pushed her panties the
rest of the way down her legs, noticing that the crotch was soaked. She then
dropped the panties on the floor next to the bed and lowered herself down
between Minako's legs.

There was a small amount of pubic hair between Minako's legs; she obviously
kept it trimmed. Makoto kissed her way down to the other girl's labia, and
inhaled her scent, a musky odor. Minako reached in front of her and parted
her lips with one hand, holding herself open for Makoto.

Makoto flicked her tongue against the small spot at the top of Minako's
cleft, and the blonde moaned at the touch. Makoto began licking it in
earnest, circling it with the tip of her tongue. Minako moaned louder, and
the hand that was still on Makoto's head gripped her hair tightly.

Makoto moved her tongue down and brought one of her hands up to pick up
where her tongue had left off. She entered the opening in front of her,
tasting
Minako's sweetness. She began to move her tongue around inside the other
girl, and heard her cry out.

"Oh! Mako-chan... Oh, yes!" Minako was thrashing around now, and she closed
her legs together, holding Makoto's head in place with her thighs. Makoto
was moving her tongue around quickly, licking every place she could reach.

Minako's cries became wordless screams as her body shook with the force of
her orgasm. Makoto licked all around her lips now, driven by a need to taste
Minako. She felt Minako's hands tighten in her hair.

As the blonde's orgasm subsided, Makoto slowed down and finally stopped her
activites between Minako's legs. She moved forward on the bed and turned
onto her side to look at her lover. Minako looked back and smiled sweetly.
"Mako- chan... That was fantastic. Even better than I dreamed it would be."
She kissed Makoto deeply.

Makoto did not know what had posessed her to do that. She had never done
anything like that before and had had no idea what it would be like. All she
had known was that she had wanted to make Minako feel good, the way she had
felt.

As Makoto tried to sort out what she was feeling, something occured to her.
"Minako-chan, you... dreamed about us?" she asked.

Minako snuggled up against her and placed one of her hands on Makoto's
shoulder. Her face was only inches away. "Yes, Mako-chan, I've fantasized
about you before. For a while, actually, but I never had the nerve to try to
do anything about it until now." She stopped, looking into Makoto's eyes.

Makoto said, "I dreamed about you last night, you know."

"Oh? Good dreams, I hope." Minako replied.

"Yes... You could say that." Makoto said, smiling slightly.

Minako said, "Did I do something like this?" She moved her hand down from
Makoto's shoulder and began caressing her breast.

Shivering slightly at the feeling, Makoto said, "Yes... Among other things."

"How about this?" Minako asked, and kissed her, gently at first, but with
growing passion. She pushed Makoto slightly, and the taller girl rolled onto
her back. Minako rolled with her until she was resting on top of her. She
began kissing her way down Makoto's body, stopping at her breasts.

She felt the blonde's mouth on one of her nipples. A moan escaped her lips,
and she felt herself grow wet between her thighs again. Minako caressed and
kissed her breasts, stopping after a few moments. She sat up and looked down
at Makoto admiringly. "Mako-chan... You're so beautiful." she said.

Makoto suddenly realized that, even with Minako staring at her nude body,
she no longer felt self-conscious. For the first time in her life, she
actually felt
beautiful. She tried to speak, but "Minako-chan" was all she could manage,
so
overwhelmed was she by the feeling.

The blonde continued kissing her way down Makoto's body, past her chest,
past her stomach, until she reached the area between her legs. Makoto also
kept her pubic hair trimmed so none of it would show while she was in her
fuku. Minako traced kisses down through the patch.

Makoto moaned as she felt the other girl kiss her labia. Minako parted
Makoto's lips with her fingers and began licking the place at the top of her
cleft. The taller girl moaned loudly as the sensations washed over her. As
her orgasm drew closer, Minako stopped for a moment.

"Mako-chan..." she said softly, "I love you."

The words echoed in Makoto's ears as the other girl resumed licking between
her legs with fierce energy. Minako loved her. That was the only thought she
had as her orgasm took her.

To compare her earlier orgasm to this was to compare a light breeze to a
raging gale. Makoto's entire body was shaken by waves of pleasure that
seemed to go on forever. It was as if the rest of the world had disappeared
and the only things that existed were her and Minako, connected by the
contact between them.

After what seemed like an eternity, Makoto's orgasm subsided. She stared at
the ceiling, not really seeing anything. She thought she heard a ringing in
her ears, but it soon vanished. She was vaguely aware of Minako moving up
and lying halfway on her, draping one leg over hers and resting her head on
her shoulder. Makoto put her arm around her, almost as if by reflex.

Eventually, Makoto found the words to speak. "Minako-chan," she said, her
voice thick with emotion, "You... love me?"

Minako looked up into her eyes. "Yes, Mako-chan." she said simply.

"I had no idea... How long have you felt like this?" Makoto asked.

"For a while now. Like I said, I've been fantasizing about you for some
time. At first I thought it was just curiousity, wondering what it would be
like to be with another girl, and you were a close friend, so it seemed only
natural. But soon, I realized that the fantasies I had were always about
you."

"I dreamed of you taking me in your arms and making love to me, and me doing
the same thing to you. And eventually I realized that what I felt for you
went beyond just attraction. But I never dared hope that anything might
happen between us, or that you felt the same way."

Makoto said, "Minako-chan... I love you too. You made me feel beautiful.
That's something no one's ever done for me before."

"Oh, Mako-chan, I'm so happy to hear you say that." Minako looked as though
she was close to tears.

"Don't cry, Minako-chan. I never want to see you cry, ever." Makoto pulled
her close.

They laid there for a short time in silence, each enjoying the closeness of
the
other. Finally Makoto said, "We'll have to tell the others about us, you
know."

"I know, Mako-chan." Minako replied.

"How do you think they'll react?"

"They'll probably be surprised at first, but they'll support us. Once we
tell them we're in love, they'll probably be happy for us."

"I think so, too." Makoto said.

Minako looked up at her mischeviously. "Although..." she said, "It does open
up some... interesting possibilities. I mean, Usagi-chan has Mamoru, but
Ami-chan and Rei-chan are single. And they're both really cute."

Makoto looked down at her in surprise until she realized that Minako was
only teasing her. The blonde laughed, and Makoto picked up a pillow and hit
her with it. Minako rolled away onto her back, and Makoto rolled on top of
her, pinning her down.

"Oh no," said Minako in mock horror, "I'm about to be ravaged by the
beautiful Mako-chan. Whatever shall I do?"

The girls laughed. Neither of them figured on getting much sleep that night.
