Okay, the chaining did the trick, as I said it would…not that I've been waiting for someone to do that, I was distracted by that torturing invention called 'school'. I'm sure you've all heard from it once or twice? But, enough with the babbling and on with the story, I can hear you all thinking. Well, who am I to object?

Miyuki smiled and continued staring through the window. It was late evening but she found herself too much awake for staying in bed. Not that she would mind, lying in bed, snuggled up to a certain blonde who was snoring softly in her sleep.
Miyuki let her eyes travel from the dark, quiet scenery outside to the large bed, illuminated by a single ray of moonlight. The silvery light captivated Shizuma's pale skin, adding a magical glow to her blonde hair that enlisted her peaceful sleeping face. The bluenette's gaze absorbed her best friend's silhouette; drinking in the steady rise and fall of her chest, the fingers of one hand clutching to the pillow as the other one seemed to reach for something. Stretched out over the blanket, Shizuma's right hand was moving slightly as in search for something important.
Me, perhaps?
Miyuki felt her heart fill with joy as she remembered Shizuma's lips on hers, kissing away any fears the blue haired girl might have had before their mutual confession. She grinned sheepishly as she thought about her and Shizuma, putting the fairy tale- theory to the test. Oh there had been a lot of testing…it had been a very important investigation after all, and they had both taken their parts very serious.
But it would seem the theory didn't have the famous effect, quite the contrary; after a lot of kissing and cuddling, the two of them had just… drifted off to sleep.
Smiling, Miyuki pushed herself away from the window and sat down on the bed, careful not to wake the person she loved most in this world. Admiring the blonde's features she wondered why the now sleeping prince liked her so much.
It's not like I'm special…I'm just a plain, shy, girl who was stupid enough to marry someone she didn't love. If only I had as much courage as she does. I could have continue my studies, have my grandfather's house to myself without him bringing his newest conquests into my house.
Remembering him yelling at her caused Miyuki's fingers to tremble as she softly took Shizuma's hand in her own and began stroking the long, sleek fingers. She felt her soul grow heavy with the accusations he'd yell at her while bea-
Don't go there! Come on Rokujo, stop thinking about it!
Angry at herself, Miyuki released Shizuma's hand and smiled affectionately at the slight pout forming on her friend's lips.
'Alright, alright, no need to make a face like that…'
Speaking softly, Miyuki slipped between the blankets again and was immediately wrapped in a possessive hug. Shizuma moaned contently and tucked Miyuki's head under her chin. Having no reason to argue with her still sleeping friend who was so enthusiastic of claiming the bluenette all for herself, Miyuki simply closed her eyes and drifted back to sleep, listening to the heartbeat under her ear; the most beautiful sound she'd ever heard.

Shizuma woke due to a tingling sensation in her left arm. Groaning she tried to shift it to a more comfortable position, only finding it stuck under something warm and heavy. Annoyed that she had to open her eyes and see what the problem was, the blonde goddess of Miator sighed and slowly opened her eyes, flinching at the ray of sunlight blasting it's way right through the curtains into her face.
Just my luck…why didn't I close the curtains?
Identifying the warm and heavy object on her arm as something living and breathing, her mind finally hit 'on' button and she recognized the object as Miyuki, sleeping peacefully, curled up on her side and facing Shizuma.
Oh yes, now I remember. I was a bit occupied with more important business. More pleasant as well…
She thought as she remembered kissing Miyuki. Blushing, Shizuma tenderly lifted Miyuki's head to free her still tingling arm. Must have fallen asleep during the investigation, Shizuma pondered as she tried to rub away the feeling of numbness in her arm.
'Aaaahhh..' Not capable of muffling a painful groan, Shizuma clenched her teeth, trying to keep still so she wouldn't wake Miyuki.
Too late!! The little voice in her head boomed as she watched Miyuki stir. Fluttering eyelids looked very adorable in Shizuma's eyes and she gave in to the urge to kiss them. Placing soft, feather light kisses on each one of them, Shizuma decided to move on to other territories. She continued to trail light kisses on Miyuki's cheeks, nose and chin, carefully avoiding the girl's lips…all in good time.
She grinned when she realized Miyuki's eyes were wide open now and studying her intensely. Seeing the brown orbs becoming dark and shadowed, Shizuma pulled back a little, realizing she was hovering over her friend, straddling her even. Miyuki frowned and slipped one hand in Shizuma's hair, bringing her closer again.
'Don't I get a morning kiss?' She whispered when their lips almost touched. Feeling Miyuki's breath on her skin was all the encouragement Shizuma needed as she smiled and closed the gap between them.
After a few minutes, Shizuma gently pulled away, not wanting to rush things with her new found love. She locked gazes with the beautiful blue haired girl she loved and looked at her affectionately, seeing nothing but her own feelings mirrored in the brown coloured eyes.
She jumped at hearing the telephone ring, once then twice, before she realized she would have to pick up. She reached out for the wireless on the night stand when she realized it was no longer there. She frowned, then gasped when she heard Miyuki's voice answering. She looked back up to see the phone in her friends hand. Not that is was so unusual, they used to open each other's letters all the time at Miator and read them out loud. It had been only natural for them when, at the rare occasions they had been in Miyuki's home, Shizuma would pick up the phone if her friend was busy.
But Shizuma realized there was something wrong with that specific phone call. She felt it and saw it in Miyuki's eyes when her friend handed her the phone.
' Someone from the police, asking you about the photographs you sent to develop yesterday?'

A bit short I know, but I wanted to update today but my Beta doesn't have time, so I took the risk of not having it read by someone else. I didn't want to annoy you with too much mistakes so I decided to make it a bit shorter to avoid a very important and hopefully, emotional chapter being ruined by stupid mistakes.
Hope you enjoyed it anyway, and I'll try to update again at the end of the week.
