Ryuko again found herself walking bare through the gates of the academy. There were no piles of rubble, burning or not. She again approached the shredded Senketsu, wary of what was coming. She turned around, expecting the figure to be there. There was nobody thrusting a sword. She spun around again to find the figure, poised to strike. She parried the strike and swung hard, again hitting her mark on the face. The figure disappeared in the dust. Ryuko looked at Senketsu and knew what to do. She bit down on her thumb, drawing blood. She let the blood flow over Senketsu, who burst into patches and flew around her, reforming on her body in active form. "Good to have you back, Senketsu."

There was no response from Senketsu, only silence. Suddenly,a familiar sharp pain shot through her back. She turned to find a figure bearing an unknown face holding the sword.

Ryuko once more was jolted awake by the nightmare. She didn't feel scared like the first time, just a little uneasy. She looked over and noticed Satsuki wasn't in bed. She did return to the bedroom a moment later with a plate that had two croissants and small coffee cups on it. She climbed back into bed and handed over a pastry and coffee, which was received with a kiss. "Did you sleep okay?" Satsuki asked.

"Certainly."

The ladies ate their morning snacks while they watched Sunday morning news programs. Ryuko took the remote and muted the tv. "So, I didn't want to trouble you, but you said you'd tell me everything." She started. "You know what I'm interested in knowing."

"Of course. I can give you names and locations, as well as schedules, if I have enough time."

Ryuko finally felt as though she might be able to make good on her mission, seemingly justifying everything up to this point. "I want to know everything. Who did it, where they live and the best time to confront them."

"Give me a week, and I'll give you all you need."

...

Ryuko made her way to the Mankanshoku household to visit. She wore Senketsu just in case, and she had to wear soft slippers for her still aching feet. She was greeted with a warm hug from Mako at the door, followed by being pulled inside to the living room. "I'm so happy you took lady Satsuki back," Mako began. "You two make such a cute couple. Are you planning on getting married?!" She asked, jokingly.

"I'm not sure, but I don't think I'd mind it." Ryuko said with a serious tone.

Mako dropped her jaw with Ryuko's words. "I was sort of kidding, Ryuko. But I guess if you're in love, you're in love."

"Yeah, I guess we are."

...

Satsuki called Jakuzure into her office for a private meeting. The ladies took their seats across from each other, Jakuzure nervous about the subject of the meeting. "Jakuzure. You have been a dear friend of mine for years. You are one of the handful of people I have trusted in my life. But what you did last night was reckless and stupid." Satsuki started, with a frighteningly calm tone and a tear forming on the edge of her eye. "Ryuko ran, barefoot all the way to her family's old residence, to the point that they were bleeding."

"I can't stress how sorry I am about yesterday. I actually wanted to formally apologize to both of you."

"When I went to her, she was a mess. She had cried the whole time, and only stopped when I came to her." Satsuki continued, holding back the tears and trying to maintain a serious look. "I could have lost everything important to me, things that like she wants, money cannot buy." The tears started coming out. "If she had decided to leave me, my life would essentially have been over."

"I know what I did was wrong. I don't expect you to forgive me, and I'll accept any punishment you decide to give me." Nonon said looking at the floor.

"You will be officially suspended from the academy for one week. After that, you will apologize to Ryuko. And after that, you will do anything she says. Even if it means picking her up and carrying her when she's tired of walking. Am I understood?"

"Yes, milady."

"Then go. You may return next Monday. And Nonon?"

"Yes?"

"If you ever negatively interfere with my relationship again, you're done."

...

Mako and Ryuko decided to take it easy and just sit together on the front porch of the house while they ate croquets, courtesy of the lady of the house. "Oh, I've missed these. They're amazing." Ryuko stated.

"I know, my mom makes the best croquets." Mako replied. "So, how did things go with Lady Satsuki last night? Did you kiss and make up?"

"We did more than that." Ryuko said, stumbling as she tried to keep from releasing details of the night before. "I mean, we did kiss and make up, we just got kind of... Spirited. She has hands of magic."

"Oh,I get it. She got touchy-feely, huh? How far did she go?"

Ryuko could feel her cheeks burning bright red. "She just held me in... Places. She squeezed me in uh, places."

"Now, you know that isn't true." Senketsu whispered to Ryuko.

"Oh, shut up, Senketsu. Nobody asked you."

Mako fought back a laugh as she listened to Ryuko. "Still talking to your clothes?"

The girls laughed for a moment, which quickly ended as they saw a familiar Rolls-Royce pulling into the driveway. Satsuki walked up to the girls and Mako stood up to bow while Ryuko got up and walked over to Satsuki and went to go on her knees but Satsuki stopped her and brought her in for a hug. "You don't need to bow today, miss Mankanshoku. And Ryuko, I just want to keep you in my arms for the rest of the day."

"Aww, you two are a sweet couple. So in love!"

"Yes." Satsuki responded. "We are. She is the light of my life, and I don't think I've said that enough."

Ryuko looked deep into Satsuki's eyes while she spoke. "Oh Satsuki,I love you."

"And Ryuko,I love you." Satsuki said, before closing her eyes and kissing her girlfriend in a loving embrace.
