Sweet innocent moment between Max and Saori...
Chapter 9: Meeting Saori Again
Max walks outside of the barracks and as he came out, he saw this beautiful white tigress sitting on one of the rocks closer to the barracks and when she turned her head around, he instantly recognized that it's Saori and the look on her face was just nothing but pure beauty and it just made Max's heart warm so much and he lets out a deep sigh and her eyes met with Max's as both tigers stared at each other and Saori said, "Hi, Max."
"Hey, Saori." Max said, very bashful.
Saori lets out a little giggle after seeing Max blush and feeling very shy and he walks over to her and leans towards the rock with his elbows across and he asked, "How've you been?"
"Pretty good. Yourself?" asked Saori.
"I'm doing okay, I guess." Max said, scratching the back of his neck.
Saori nods at this and she looks at Max for a while and she said, "So...you're leaving the Valley of Peace?"
Max nodded his head at this and he said, "We'll leave as soon as my parents find a house that suits them and after Musaki's 21st birthday. But I'll be honest...not seeing you everyday kinda sucks because I'll be missing that beautiful face every day."
"I know. I'm so sad to see you go." Saori responded, nodding her head.
"But we have only a short time until we leave, so we must make every moment count like it's the last." Max added, holding Saori's paws.
Once Saori felt the gentle touch of Max's paws, she responded with a very warm purr and she nuzzled him closely, making him purr as well and she said, "I want to spend every waking moment with you before you leave."
"And maybe you can visit Shanghai Secluded Valley and we can just get together again." Max added.
That made Saori really happy to hear that and she leapt into his arms and said, "This is amazing! I could kiss you right now!"
Then, Max was surprised by what Saori said and she felt completely embarrassed to even say that out loud in front of him and tried to keep it cool and said, "Well...just when my brother's not looking. I can't believe I said that."
Max quickly kissed Saori on the cheek to make sure that what she just said holds true and Saori froze for a second as she couldn't believe that just happened and Max smiles at her and replied, "We may."
On that note, both tigers came closer to each other and kissed each other on the lips for a short while and their kiss became blissful and tender and it's like neither of them wants to let go of each other and the kiss got interrupted by a sea of 'ooooh's from right in front of them and Max's ears perked up as he looks up and sees Akashi, Miyo, the Five, Samurai, Musaki, Arizona, Phoenix and crew standing there.
Saori looks up and she sees her brother standing there as well and she was completely shocked that he was there and she said, "Hello, big brother."
"Just couldn't stay away from each other's lips, could ya?" asked Akashi, folding his arms.
"It's official...Max is growing up." Phoenix added, laughing.
"How long have you guys been standing there?" asked Max.
"Long enough, Maxie...long enough." Arizona said, with a smile.
Any indication that these two cubs are in love? You be the judge! Stay tuned for more!
