Cirno awoke, foggily, rubbing her eyes. Suwako was already up, for her side of the mat and blankets were ruffled. Cirno could hear people moving and dishes clinking in the Moriya shrine's kitchen. She slowly stood and grabbed a loose tank top, which may have been Suwako's, for what they had done the night before, she didn't know who's stuff was who's. She slipped on some stray bloomers and walked out of the room, stretching. She went into the kitchen, walking up to Suwako's back, wrapping her arms around her, her head on Suwako's shoulder. She yawned. Sanae smiled, flipping eggs in the pan.
"Good morning." Suwako said, smiling and getting out several glasses.
"G'mnhnng." Cirno yawned again.
Suwako knew Cirno was not good at waking up all the way, but that was one of her charms, she thought. She was happy to be with her in her last hours of freetime. She had gotten a letter from Nitori, stating that the frog population was overriding Youkai Mountain, and just from a small pond. She would have to travel, a very long way, Cirno couldn't come with her, for this was Suwako's specialty, and Nitori asked that only one person should come.
"How cahn I help?" Cirno's voice was groggy.
"You can sit down. Get comfortable." Suwako turned and smoothed out Cirno's hair.
Cirno shuffled over to the small reed table, her bare feet making no sounds, and sat down, laying her head on the cool surface.
"I have to talk to you, meet me in the bedroom." Suwako sighed.
Cirno then proceeded to shuffle over to the sliding door of their room. "Kay."
Suwako and Cirno finished their food quietly. Cirno, now fully awake, leaned back on her hands.
"The frogs are back." Suwako said, sadly.
"You're gonna leave again!?" Tears brimmed in Cirno's eyes.
"Yeah, I have no choice." Suwako embraced Cirno.
"How long will you be gone?" Tears rolled down both Cirno and Suwako's faces.
"I don't know, I don't know..." Suwako said.
Cirno pushed herself up and kissed Suwako softly. The kiss broke and their foreheads touched.
"You sure you have to go?" Cirno whispered. "Why can't you stay?" Cirno cried now.
"It's okay, Cirno, I'm the frog goddess, I don't have a choice but to go. Don't cry, I'll be back, I will be back." Suwako wiped the tears from Cirno's face, smiling meekly.
"When?" Cirno asked. "When do you hafta leave?"
"By four, but we have time to do whatever we want until then." Suwako smiled, stroking Cirno's cheeks. "We could even..." Suwako whispered into Cirno's ear, breathing sensually onto it.
"One more time before you leave..." Cirno said.
"I can promise a lot more than once." Suwako smirked, making Cirno turn bright red.

The two lay in silence, the only sound in the room, the heavy breathing of the lovers. Suwako was on top of Cirno, their legs still scissored.
"You know I love you." Suwako pulled Cirno into her chest.
"Yeah." Cirno said.
"I won't forget about you, no matter how long I'm gone. So don't even think about forgetting me." Suwako laughed at the last part.
"Yeah, don't worry, I won't ever forget you." Cirno smiled.
Suwako looked at the clock. The two lay for about another half hour, then Suwako started putting on clothes, and was packing.
Cirno and Suwako walked to the last part of the shrine's stairs.
"Goodbye... I really do love you." Cirno grabbed Suwako and kissed her, their kiss was passionate, and their tongues battled.
"Mm... Cirno I mmm... Gotta get...goi-mm" Suwako hugged her.
As the frog walked out of view, she turned, waving back at Cirno, who was weeping.
