Yukari awoke with a start, looking around frantically. "Nyamo?" she whispered hoarsely, voice full of emotion. Her attention was brought to the floor by a small whimper.

………………………………………………

Nyamo was tossing slightly in her sleep, but stopped as suddenly as she'd begun. "Yuka." She whimpered, "Why?.." she continued, a tear now slipping down from closed eye lids. Squishing herself into a loose fetal position, she whispered drowsily "Love you.. Why?"

At the last part, the language teacher froze. 'Yuka…love? ..She loves me in reality? Could it be? Or is this just a cruel trick… I must be hallucinating!.. but.." Yukari looked at Nyamo's sleeping form and sighed. 'She's always cared for me.. Always.. Gods. Well, there's only way to find out.. At least I can always move to Mexico if she ends up hating me…Here bloody goes."

Getting up from the bed, Yukari sat next to the phys. Ed teacher. Reaching out, she hen pulled back quickly needing to compose herself. 'Damn it Yukari, stop shaking. Mexico! Get it together, get it together, get it together…-' "-Damn you Osaka!" Minamo stirred in her sleep and Yukari nearly had a heart attack. Once Nyamo stopped, she reached out and brushed a stray lock of hair out of her face.

Minamo comfortably stretched out of her fetal position slowly, "Yu.." she smiled gently. Yukari melted from the sheer cuteness. 'Who knew Nyamo could be that cute! Damn. Ok.. I'm good..' she reassured herself before whispering "Minamo.." she tried softly. The sleeping woman stirred, "Mina." Yukari tried again. Nyamo's eyes slit open slowly, she looked at her friend. Yukari was smiling gently.. almost timidly, something was very wrong.

"Yu..kari?" she asked attentively, unsure as to why she'd been woken up. Had she been talking in her sleep? "I'm sorry." Yukari admitted. 'Is this my mind playing tricks on me?' Nyamo asked herself mentally. "F-for?" "Being so oblivious." Yukari answered, Minamo froze. "Mina.." 'No..' The brunette continued "I.. I know how you feel."

The gym teacher sat up immediately and scooted away slightly. Upon seeing her friends hurt expression however, she stopped. "I dreamt of you, Nyamo. You were so sad.. And it was killing me. You told me.. you loved me." The last part was squeaked, but Yukari continued. "…I love you too." She searched her new love's eyes from any sign of reaction. First there was shock, then doubt, and finally relief. Then, a poke.

"Ow. What was that for?" Yukari asked curiously. "You're real. You're.. really real. You're not a dream." Nyamo replied breathlessly. "Nyamo." The brunette said suddenly, snapping the other woman out of shock. "Just… don't hurt me. I trust you… So… don't hurt me, ok?" Nyamo looked at her formally insane and carefree friend, who was now extremely vulnerable, in complete awe. 'I knew there was more to her..'

"I won, I promise. I'll never hurt you Yukari.. I'll protect you with my life." The brunette's eyes lit up and she hugged her new love, crying silent tears of joy. Minamo hugged back, then kissed the crow of Yukari's head, stroking her back whispering I-Love-You's.

15 minutes later, the two lay on Nyamo's comfortable bed.
"Yukari?"
……

"Yes?"

……

"Were you chewing on my pillow again?"

Silence………

Yukari blushed. "Maybe.. Sorry."

Nyamo grinned and hugged her new girlfriend. "S'ok. I love you." Yukari blushed harder, but smiled widely. "Love you too, Minamo." A pause. "I like it when you say my actual name, you know.." Nyamo said chuckling lightly. "Well then! Minamo it shall be then! ..Most of the time anyway.." Yukari grinned and Nyamo nodded, smirking with her, "K."

"G'night love." The brunette said happily. "Good night, Yu."
