Ami and Kaiji slowly walked inside the villa, with Katsuragi following up behind them. Ami placed her bag on the floor and looked around, stretching her arms over her head. The journey had been longer than she'd expected, and she was exhausted. They'd spent several hours cooped up in the car, and Ami appreciated the ability to stretch her legs a little. It was nightfall by the time they had arrived there, and as Katsuragi flipped the light switch on, Ami's eyes widened. The villa was absolutely stunning, like something out of a magazine. It appeared to be much larger than any beach house she'd ever stayed at, and Ami quickly started looking around as Kaiji and Katsuragi exchanged a few words.

She padded her way around the villa into each room, admiring the beauty of each. It blew her mind as to how big each room was, and how many there were. She felt like she was staying in a fancy hotel as she passed by each ornately decorated room, poking her head in and flicking the lights on briefly so she could admire each. How many bedrooms could this place have? She counted at least six by the time she started heading back the way she came. As large as this place seemed, it would be easy for her to get lost. Hearing the front door close, she made her way back to the front room. Kaiji smiled at her as he picked up the bag she'd discarded by the front door.

"This place is huge!" She stated as she took her bag from Kaiji's arm.

He smiled. "Yeah, it's pretty big. I've seen it before, but never actually stayed here."

"Which room should we take? I mean this place is so big and there's so many to choose from…"

"We?" Kaiji interrupted, raising an eyebrow and smiling teasingly at her.

She looked at him for a moment before realizing what she'd said, and she felt her face burn. "Oh well… I mean that… uh… well… I don't know what…"

Kaiji took a step forward towards her. "You want to share a room?" Ami frowned at the amusement in his voice and folded her arms across her chest.

"Well now I don't." She sulked as she turned on her heel and stormed away.

He laughed as he called after her. "Where are you going?"

"I'm tired so I'm going to bed! Alone!" She shouted over her shoulder, emphasizing the word 'alone', and walking directly into the first bedroom she found, slamming the door behind her.

Her face was still blushing as she tossed her bag onto the ground, sprawling on top of the bed. She couldn't believe that she'd just basically informed Kaiji they would be sharing a bedroom together. The words had just slipped out of her mouth so easily that she hadn't even realized what she'd implied. Sleeping his arms the previous night had just been so wonderful that she'd just assumed… She grabbed a pillow and slammed it over her face. Why had she just assumed that? She wasn't even sure exactly what they were. Were they dating now? She sincerely hoped so, but neither of them had really talked about it.

She sighed and groaned into the pillow. She felt like such an idiot, hugging the pillow against her face. She closed her eyes and tried to think of something else as she felt the pillow being tugged away from her face.

"What are you doing?" She heard Kaiji ask her, his voice still sounding amused.

She groaned. "Go away."

He successfully pulled the pillow from her face, and she could see his smiling face hovered above hers. "No. This is my room too, you know."

Despite herself, she smiled up at him. "Really?"

"You really think I was going to say no to that offer?"

She slapped him playfully on the arm. "You're cocky as usual. And it wasn't an offer…"

He shrugged. "Well, call it what you want, I'm glad you said it. Spared me the embarrassment of having to ask."

She melted a little. "Really?"

"Really. So you're stuck with me now." He teased.

His face still hovered over hers, and Ami felt her heart skip a beat as his smile faded slightly, and his eyes burned with an intensity she hadn't seen in them since the other night. He lowered his face the few inches separating them, and placed his lips on hers, kissing her delicately. She moved her hands up and placed them on his face, allowing him to give her light, tender pecks against her lips. She smiled as he pulled away, smiling shyly down at her. Placing a quick kiss against her nose, he moved away from her, standing next to the bed.

He grabbed his bag from where he'd apparently tossed it when he'd come in, and placed it on the bed, trifling through it. "You might want to go ahead and get unpacked. It's been a long day so I'm sure you're going to want to go to bed soon, and you're not going to want to do all this later."

Ami laughed. "Yeah that's probably right." She sat forward and hoped off the bed, grabbing her bag from the floor and tossing onto the bed next to his.

She began pulling her things from the depths of her bag, and started placing them around the room. Kaiji began doing the same, and the two quietly began putting their things away. Ami grabbed one of the smaller bags and headed to the bathroom, which was attached to the bedroom. She started spreading the few toiletries she'd brought with her across the bathroom. She blushed slightly, realizing that they were also going to be sharing a bathroom with each other. She'd never shared a bathroom with a guy before, let alone a bedroom, and the idea excited her. And at the same time, she felt embarrassed. Kaiji pushed his way into the bathroom behind her, and tossed his few items onto the bathroom counter next to hers. Ami looked back and couldn't help but laugh, seeing his toothbrush stuck in his mouth.

He looked at her and smiled, his toothbrush sticking out of his mouth. "What?"

"Nothing. You just look cute with your little toothbrush."

He pulled the toothbrush from his mouth and waved it in front of her, a smile on his face. "Listen here now. There is nothing 'cute' or 'little' about this toothbrush. This is a manly toothbrush, thank you."

Ami giggled and held her hands up, backing out of the bathroom. "Whatever you say. I'm going to change for bed, so stay in there with your manly toothbrush." He laughed as he closed the bathroom door behind him, giving her some privacy.

She dug through her bag and finished placing her clothing in one of the empty drawers in the dresser. She set aside her clothes for bed, and folded all of her other items, placing them neatly in the drawer. Kaiji began humming some unknown tune in the bathroom as he brushed his teeth, and Ami giggled as she tugged on her clothing for bed. A blush settled on her cheeks again as she thought about sharing the bed with Kaiji again. She'd done it before, but she couldn't help but to blush at the whole idea. Relationships weren't exactly her forte, and she had never been in an adult relationship like the one she was now finding herself in. But what kind of a relationship was this? She thought again of how they hadn't really talked about it, and decided to ask him.

"I'm done." She stated as she pulled the covers down on the bed. Behind her, she heard Kaiji kick the bathroom door open, and heard his toothbrush still brushing. She took a deep breath and sat on the bed, folding her legs as she looked into the bathroom, watching him.

"Kaiji?"

"Hm?"

"Can I ask you something?"

Kaiji spit into the sink and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. "Yeah sure. What's on your mind?" He rinsed the brush and tossed it onto the counter, then walked into the room with her. Tugging his shirt over his head, the blush that had been on Ami's felt deepened as he walked in front of her towards the dresser to grab another t-shirt. Her eyes widened as she looked at him, admiring the view. Boy, she thought, had all those years of judo paid off for him.

She shook her head and focused. "I just wanted to ask you something… about us…"

He smiled as he walked over towards her, and leaned on the bed in front of her, placing both hands on opposite sides of her. "Ask away then."

She swallowed thickly. "What… what are we exactly? I mean I know that's probably a stupid, silly question to ask, and probably makes me sound like some girl in high school… but I was just curious… What am I to you now?"

The smile on his face broadened. "What are you to me now, huh? Well I'd like to call you my girlfriend, unless you're opposed to it?"

She smiled in return, placing a hand against his cheek. "No, I'm not opposed to it. I'm sorry… I'm just not used to all of this stuff…"

"What do you mean?"

"Relationships… I've never really been in one before, so I'm not sure how to act…"

Kaiji pressed his forehead against hers. "Well then. I'm just going to have to teach you, aren't I?"

"I… I suppose so…" Ami stuttered, diverting her eyes away from him.

Kaiji chuckled and grabbed one of the pillows on the bed, and gently hit her on the head with it. "Come on, don't look like that. Relationships are supposed to be a good thing, you look like it's a death sentence."

Ami smiled and grabbed one of the other pillows and began hitting him with it. "I do not!" The two began hitting one another with pillows, commencing in a pillow fight that would last for an hour until Kaiji finally surrendered. Ami hoped, as they finally settled down to sleep for the night, that they could always be like this together.
