Kaori could feel her face getting red. It had nearly a year since she had practically begged the older woman to help her with her music, not to mention help her get into her university. Of course, once she had gotten in classes had taken their change of her daily hours and with tuition to pay, even the musical scholarship Ryoki-sensei had helped her win couldn't ease her burden of taking up jobs to pay for the expensive university. Their tutoring sessions were now only every other Sunday, if Kaori was lucky. And her last tutoring sessions she had made a fool of herself by blubbering about not being sexy enough to get any guy's attention. With time for a lesson tomorrow, Kaori had hoped she would have at least tonight to bandage up her suffering pride, as little as it might be, before seeing the sensual and mature lady again. Ryoki-sensei was nothing short of an idol to Kaori. So how could she of gone and embarrassed herself like that last time they had met?

But the graceful older woman just beamed down at her and ruffled her hair, making her relax and smile a bit more. She was always so generous and kind, it only made Kaori admire her even more. [color=f6989d]"I'm sorry I didn't,"[/color] the redhead practically melted into the older woman's petting, [color=f6989d]"I may have to pay the university tuition now, but thanks to you I have a scholarship to help me out somewhat. Ryoki-sensei is an amazing teacher!"[/color]

The younger girl gladly helped her mentor, all the while not even giving a thought to what other people might see as their more 'indecent' lessons. It was natural for Ryoki-sensei to be so kind and caring, enough to even help Kaori out with the more embarrassing failures in daily life. It had bothered her enough, realizing that she had never, not once ever, been asked out by a guy. Or even thought of as a romantic interest by any guy in high school. Not once. Once she had gotten into her university and started hearing about [i]this[/i] first experience and [i]that[/i] first experience and [i]'oh my how different university dating was to high school dating'[/i], the flustered naive girl had simply cracked one day. And spoken to her idol about her crushing concerns and withering self-doubt. The older woman, true to her generous ways, decided she'd help Kaori go from girl to woman. All it took was a little extra lessons after musical tutoring. No one even had to know. Ah, Ryoki-sensei really was the best!

[i] "I'm looking for something to give to my parents. Their anniversary is coming up soon, you see, and I was meaning to get them something, y'know, meaningful. So I thought: 'Hey, why not get them flowers?' Problem with that is I don't know what's best and what isn't, but I suppose that's what you're here for! I kinda want something that will live a long time, as a way to commemorate their marriage. They're not exactly the gardener type of people, so something that doesn't require an awful lot of effort to take care of would also be good. Anything come to mind, Aka-chan?"[/i]

And so Kaori fluttered about trying to help her idol and mentor find something suitable for her parents' anniversary. It was sort of like trying to do her absolute best so she would impress her sensei, but mostly like she was finally able to help Ryoki with something. The dark haired and drop dead sexy lady was always so patient with her. It felt good to be able to help her with something for once, even if it was only an anniversary present for the parents. It was a start and that was all Kaori needed to get herself into the determined and devoted zone of work mode.

Finally, it was the end of her shift. Already a little past nine and it was dark out. Having locked up the shop and said goodbye to her boss, Kaori snuggled contently into the borrowed jacket of a wild and very good smelling boy she wished could let her daydreaming mind rest already. It was probably odd of her to take so much pleasure in such a small thing like the scent from a jacket given to her only through kind concern. But having her senses being enveloped in something she believed to be as close to as embrace from a good looking guy as she was ever going to get, had turned her silly romantic side on full power. She almost wished the day wouldn't end.

First she had the wonderful chance meeting, then her beautiful gentle first customer and then she had seen Ryoki-sensei-! It had just been such a prefect day! Lights were glowing in the city all around her like different colored stars and she grinned happily to herself. Her stomach growled awakening her from her ridiculously fantastic thoughts. Right. All she had eaten today was toast. And her family was probably long done with dinner. 

Her green eyes slid over to a thrumming club just across the road. Eh... Too jumpy. And too loud. She just wanted to relax. Plus she was probably too young anyway. Weren't most clubs twenty-one and older? Better not risk it. There had to be a place to eat around here somewhere... Maybe a food vendor would do. It wasn't the healthiest thing ever, but it would be warm and filling and probably really tasty, and that was good enough for her! Now, she just had to find one...
