-What I Do Best-

Chapter 4- Goodbye Beautiful Day

Xx-Cherry's Pov-

I knew that this fairytale I had been living in had just turned back into reality.

Ai stood there just as messy as I was holding the phone out to me with a confused look on her face, and damn, distrustful eyes. Did she realize that she had been my target and this day had all been a lie to her?

No, not if I could help it. She was so special to me now and I would not let her go.

Numbly, I got up and took the phone from her.

"Cherry! What the hell are you doing in Japan and at her house?" the Boss yelled angrily into the phone. I glanced around and noticed Ai was pouring herself another glass of sake. Good, she couldn't hear Tambi's tirade.

"I'll call you back on my cell, Mom," I said, and clicked the phone off and gave it back to Ai. She took it from me and put it back on her end table.

"Cherry-Chan, why does your mother have my phone number?" she asked seriously.

"Ai-Chan, I must return this call, it's very important. I'll explain everything to you after I am finished," I say to her.

"Very well, Cherry." she said wearily. I wondered if that bubbly personality was a front to hide her inner pain from losing her lover and almost all of her family.

"I'm going to go outside to make the call, Ai-Chan," I said. I spun around and began walking out the room, ducking down as I went through the low ceiling front room. I kept walking until I was outside. I could see the city lights from the apartment.

I could not stand the look of disappointment on Ai's face. It hurt me to see her like that.

I snapped my phone and dialed Tambi's number. She answered at once.

"Cherry, I assume you have VERY good reasons for disobeying my orders and ending up at David's sister's house," she said to me, surprisingly calm but I knew the worst was to come.

"If I told you, you wouldn't understand, Boss. I haven't told her anything since you told me not to, but she could use the money,"

"Give it up; David left all his money to Katchoo. It is over. I expect you on the 11:00 pm flight from Japan. You MUST leave tonight or I am going to go Darcy Parker on your ass! I like you, Cherry, but you knew what would happen if you disobeyed orders! she roared into my ear.

"But I discovered some things about her that I need to follow up on, Boss..."

"Do you want me to send your Becky after you? I expect you back in America by tomorrow or it's all over, Cherry. You'll be a woman in flames," Tambi said deadly serious. Then she hung up on me.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath of the cool night air. I had to calm myself before I went back inside.

I walked back into Ai's house and found her drinking another glass of sake. I noticed that she had washed her face clean. So now, she didn't trust me thanks to Tambi. I also began to think that she was drinking too much but I wasn't going to bring that up now.

She looked up at me waiting for an answer. I sat down next to her. "Ai-Chan, that wasn't really my mother who called, it was my boss. She is a top investigator and knew I had come here for a vacation. She knew I was going to visit the café where you work at, because I had planned to visit Tokyo's famous hot spot," I told her telling her mostly lies.

"So you work for this important woman who can get my phone number? It is in the phone book, so I guess it was not too hard for her. But she invaded my privacy, Cherry-Chan!" Ai said angrily.

"I know, and I'm very sorry for that, Ai-Chan. I wish things were different but they are not, because I have to leave on an eleven o'clock from Japan to America," I could barely choke the words out trying to fight back tears.

I never cry, not even when I was at my lowest. Where had my personality gone? I felt so unlike myself and it was because I had to leave this wonderful woman.

"Oh, Cherry-Chan, I wanted to get to know you better! I want to know what you do, what your life is like back home, and I want to touch your body all over. You must think me shameless but I want you," Ai said, putting her hand on my cheek where my lipstick was still smeared. "I wasted all that precious time because I should have jumped you immediately," she laughed.

Well, let's make up for lost time," I said, as she started moving closer to me.

I reached out and ran my hand through her short, silky black hair. She tilted her head back and I kissed her deeply. Damn, she tasted so good!

Xx- Ai's Pov-

My mind was spinning as Cherry-Chan and I kissed. I loved how gentle she was at first then her tongue was inside fighting for dominance. It was so warm and it made my feelings burn. Even though I knew nothing about this woman, she was the only one in years to make me feel so wanton, wanted, and loved. Just like Keiko did before.

I had to have more time with her. Her leaving was too sudden and I could not imagine not having her with me. It was destined that we belonged to each other.

"Cherry, It's only seven-thirty and can't you spend a few more hours with me before you leave? I'm lonely and you are so beautiful," I said, breathless from our kiss.

"Can I make love to you, Ai-Chan?" she whispered to me as she ran her hands through my hair, her blue eyes filled with want, need and was that also love that I saw in her eyes?

I stood up, grabbed her hand, and wordlessly led her to my bedroom.

I pulled the silk sheets back of my double bed. Cherry had taken off her jacket and I went over to her and helped her unbutton her shirt. I ran my hands over her breasts after I removed her bra. She was well endowed with small nipples. Daringly, I took a nipple in my mouth and lightly sucked it.

Cherry moaned as her pants and underwear dropped to the floor. "I have many scars on my body, Ai. I hope that doesn't turn you off.," she whispered to me, as she unwrapped me from my kimono and sat it on a nearby chair.

As I finally felt her hands run lightly down my body, I sought out a bad scar on her upper arm. I lightly ran my tongue over it. She was kissing my breasts and I moaned.

"Cherry-Chan, I will heal your scars, I will make them all better," I managed to gasp out between my moans.

Xx- Cherry's Pov-

My heart felt like it could burst as I heard what Ai said. I believed that this woman could take away all the pain away from my past and present. I would do the same for her.

As we lay down, I feel that all my nerve endings are on fire as Ai runs her hands over her full breasts and looks up at me.

"Please, Cherry, lay over me.," she said quietly and I am all too happy to honor her request. I straddle her and she pulls me down for a kiss with my freshly lipsticked mouth.

As we break the kiss, I began to mark her neck with kisses as my hand runs down her body. She smells sweet like lavender. I think it is the greatest smell in the world, ya know.

I can feel her gasping and writhing beneath me as my fingers gently rub at her tender place. My mouth finds her nipple and I gently mark them by sucking one than the other. I could feel her heart racing and then I feel her shudder.

"Are you okay, Ai? Did you just come?" I asked, looking into her glittering dark eyes. "Not yet, Cherry but please continue, it feels so good." she said.

I was used to hard, sometimes violent sex due to the world I lived in but I knew I could hold back for Ai. She was too precious, sweet and needed to be treated gently. This woman who was worth billions was only going to get me. I felt like the world's worst consolation prize, know what I'm saying?

I felt Ai began to explore my body, everytime she came to one of my scars and began running her tongue over them. Then I felt her begin to kiss my breasts. I moaned as she tongued my nipples, then slowly kissed and nibbled at my neck as she ran her hands down my back.

"My precious Cherry-Chan, I think I have fallen for you. Hah..Don't leave me," she whispered as she came from my invading fingers and rubbing the sweetness between her legs.

I did not know how to answer her. I had fallen for her too but I had to leave tonight. Damn Tambi!

I moved into a sitting position and pulled the Japanese woman into my arms. I sat her directly on my lap so we could feel each other's heat and warm skin against each other. I stroked her face again. "You are such a sweet, beautiful woman, Ai-Chan," and then I felt her mouth and tongue in mine, moving slowly as she ran her hands through my blonde hair.

"Please touch me, Cherry-Chan. I want and need you so much that I feel like I may explode," she whispered in my ear and swirled her tongue inside my ear, being careful not to touch my many piercings.

"I pressed my finger against her clit and she spread her legs open for me.

After that, I lost all reason and the time we had left, we made sweet, hot love. Ai was perfect, she was the most elegant, erotic and wild woman I had ever made love to-(and my record of accomplishment with woman lovers was long!)

The sex between us was also loving and beautiful. Ai was a skilled lover, her silken touch had made me come hard as she sucked, licked, and kissed every part of my body.

"Your scars are beautiful because they belong to you, and you have a wonderful soul," she kept whispering in my ear as she rode my fingers that were buried deep inside her.

It was like a dream and easily, it was the best sex I had ever had and I knew I would never have a night like this again.

Xx

Elvis crooned in the background as I sat up in bed fully clothed, while smoking a cigarette with an ashtray in my lap. It was almost time to go.

I looked down at Ai, whose back was resting against me. She was sleeping, her lovely face was so peaceful, and I knew that I could not tell her the truth.

I knew that the loss of knowing she had a twin brother who had just died, a gangster father, an evil stepsister might change her from this sweet, kind-hearted, and very passionate woman into something bitter, full of regret and angry was a chance I could not take.

I hated that she still would have to struggle to make ends meet filled me with sadness, but Tambi said Katchoo had inherited David's money and it was too late. But knowing Tambi's half-sister, a woman who was a lesbian but David was the only man she ever loved, I knew that if she knew that David had a twin sister that she would be generous and giving to his sister.

One day Katchoo would find out.

Of course, there was also the chance that Ai would meet somebody that loved her as much as I did. They would treat her and take care of her, as she deserved.

I gently began to stroke her hair and she smiled in her sleep. The thought that I would never kiss her soft lips or make love to her again brought tears to my eyes.

Once again, I wanted to grab her and hide her away with me forever. However, I had a flight to catch because I usually do what I'm told.

I left her a note using all my tricks so my handwriting would never be figured out if she or anybody else took it to one who specialized in handwriting analysis.

I signed it with two CC's (for Cherry-Chan). Then I left her as much yen as I had to help her out at least for a year. It was my money from my earnings and my expense account. Tambi would probably kill me anyway so I left as much money as I could.

I also gave her a cell phone number if she really needed me. A number that was only known to me and would never be traced back to me.

I looked at her one last time and pulled the silk sheets over a bare shoulder and seeing that Ai was in deep sleep, I kissed her gently. Then I stared at her until her beautiful image was burned into my brain.

Then I turned around and walked out on happiness.

That's what I do best.

END (for now)

A/N- This is the end of my Ai and Cherry love story- for now. However, it is the end of this certain story. Cherry probably appeared in one issue and a few panels of about three more SIP issues and Ai appeared ONLY in Issue 87. So I tried to keep Cherry somewhat in character and Ai in what I imagined what she would be like if she were lesbian.

Cherry were in love and new, awakening feelings of love change people, IMHO. It makes them kinder, softer, and happier.

I hope this story was liked. I had enjoyment while writing it and plan to keep writing more fan-fic in all the fandom's I love.
