The Authors Note: the first chapter was mainly about number 5's relationship with her sister with only a little bit focusing on how she feels about number 3.
This one is mostly 5/3 fluff.
By the way the reason Abby is going to Kuki's it is because it's the team's day off and they're all at their own houses.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters in this story except for some original ones that may appear in the next chapter!
Part Two:
Being There For You: More Confidence Some Acceptance And Plans!
Abby smiled as she walked down the street she was thinking of Kuki her best friend and now that she admitted it to herself her secret crush. She was like a guardian angel watching over the rest of the team; Kuki in particular. She was probably one of the three most normal of every one on the entire team. (Face it in this case number two and number three are not potentially normal) Abby thought watching over the team was hard work but it was worth it and having Kuki as a friend/crush was just an extra bonus. The sky was pale blue and there was hardly a cloud in it…
a few minutes later a young African-American child with a red baseball cap obscuring her eyes and wearing an oversized short sleeves dark blue dress like shirt with white shorts underneath rang the doorbell of a white somewhat Japanese architectural style house after few minutes it was opened and a slightly over 30 aged female Japanese American adult with slight wrinkles on her face wearing a grey-blue business suit with a knee length skirt answered the door; see said in a rude business like tone" if you're here selling girl scout cookies I am far too busy to eat them and besides I don't want any…ick!"
Abby quickly replied politely "Mrs. Sanban may I please come in my name is Abigail Lincoln but you can call me Abby ma'am; I'm here to speak to your daughter who is a dear friend of mine; she's been acting a bit strange lately and I want to see if she was all right." After a moment the woman smiled slightly and said somewhat gruffly "all right you can speak to her but next time have your mother call me first and ask me if it's alright to come over"
Abby replied with a small bow saying" I would've normally asked my mother to set up a play-date but I was really worried so I came to see if my best friend was all right." The woman replied with a much wider smile "I'm glad my daughter has such a nice and caring friend."
After a moment Abby walk into the house and after a few minutes found her way to her best friend's room; the door was made of redwood with a gold covered doorknob which Abby started to opened but then thought better of it and knocked…
A cheerful giggling voice with a Japanese accent replied saying" who was it?" a distinctive deep and somewhat throaty boys replied" it's me number 5; could yo'all let me in please?" sure; common in Abby!" she opened the door for her friend and held it for her as she went into the room which was as usual filled with many Rainbow Monkeys however most of them were in sector V's tree house base since Kuki was there most of the time.
The two of them sat on Kuki's large like purple bed with blue covers and a green pillow in her very paint room with a blue floor and talked for about an hour or so about normal things until finally Abby of the courage to tell her best friend her great discovery; she said "Kuki can I ask you something?" "Sure Abbychan; you're the best friend I have" replied she then looked at her rainbow monkeys and said with a giggle" okay guys I got it… you're my best human friend that is!"
Abby just shook her head for a moment and smiled in contentment and after a moment secure in the knowledge that her best friend would like her almost no matter what she blurted out hesitating a little bit before she did so"… Kukichan I… I.I.I…I think I have a crush on you!"
For a moment there was silence and then to Abby's utter shock her best friend violently hugged her and smiled widely crying tears of joy saying" I can't believe it I didn't think that you could possibly care for me as I did for you I didn't even dare hope that you had a crush on me… thank you so much you have no idea how much what you you just said means to me!" She smirked slightly and gave her longtime crush kiss on the forehead; the recipient of this act stared wide eyed for a moment and then smiled giving her best friend a peck on the cheek; her teammate blushed slightly and smiled.
For a moment there was silence again but Abby after few moments said" so when did you know that you were a lesbian/bisexual? "She replied I used live in Shinjuku Nichome (this is the name of Tokyo's gay and lesbian district) and there at the age of six I got my first crush… on a girl!"
She continued" eventually I asked our next door neighbor who was bisexual about my first crush and the confusion over my sexual preference that came after it had faded; she did a little test… namely showing me pictures of beautiful and good looking girls and asking me if I liked them and not I said yes and then she did the same thing with guys which brought no reaction whatsoever and so she determined that I was a lesbian and definitely not bisexual like her".
Abby nodded as your friend and said" when my mother finally realized that are very nice and kind next door neighbor was bi she was disgusted and horrified… so we left to another area of Tokyo and then after learning that my sensei and martial arts instructor Yumi Ken Kenshin was gay we left Japan."
" When we arrived here I met you and so here we are… and as for me having a crush on you and being a lesbian that's just say that there is a reason why didn't want to go out with number 4!" After Kuki had finished speaking; Abby replied with a smile "well that explains a lot and make sense too!"
Afterward that two listened to Aretha Franklin and Louis Armstrong sing a duet version of 'What A Wonderful World' and then they listen to them sing various songs through several albums and then they watched a movie they were certainly underage to see Foxy Brown and then they listened to various African-American soul singers and watched Japanese real-life superhero TV shows like Kamen Rider, Ai No Senshi Reinbooman, Henshin Ninja Arashi, and Jinzo Ningen Kikaidà. (In this AU both number 3 and number 5 like a combination of American (mostly African-American) music and television as well Japanese music and television.)
Eventually after several hours the two of them fell asleep together…
(Both fully clothed; don't get any ideas!) they will both perfectly happy with this idea because they were very tired… and so after a three hour long nap and having spent eight hours total Kuki said goodbye to her friend who almost put her hand on the doorknob of the front door to her friend's house when she heard something coming from the house's living room that would change both her perception of her friend both for lives and everything and every one they knew and cared for!...
A/N: the action will finally start in the next chapter and will continue until chapter four and maybe chapter five. Anyone who is a SLASH or FEMSLASH fan will enjoy this story by its end!
