This chapter takes place right where the last one left off.
On with the show, so to speak.. Enjoy!
After Acrobat taunted Adonis, Anne jumped out from behind the bushes she was hiding behind, and said, "Anne Gora, Kats Eye News!" She thrusted her microphone into Acrobat and Sure-Shot's faces, and said, "You two are one of MegaKat's Hottest Couples! How did you two figure out; you liked each other? When did you start dating? Are you two in love with each other?"
"Whoa, Miss Gora!" Sure-Shot stated, pushing the microphone away. "Acrobat's and my relationship status, is our business and not anyone else's concern."
"Why? Don't you two want to set a positive example to other she-cats and toms, who are either bi-sexual or gay?" Anne asked.
"We do, but we prefer to keep our relationship, out of the public eye," Acrobat said.
"If you both wanted to keep your relationship, private. Then why are there pictures of you two, kissing, affectionately touching, being an openly Lesbian Couple all over the place?" Anne asked.
Both Sure-Shot and Acrobat both knew they were very open and demonstrative with their feelings, both in and out of uniform, to a certain few. But it have a reporter, of Anne's status, question them, sort of backed them into a corner, they weren't prepared for. Its not they were not proud of their relationship at all. No, that was the farthest thing from their minds. They both wanted to make sure that no matter how open Acrobat and Sure-Shot were, Marissa and Jasmine's status never went beyond what SWAT and some choice Enforcers knew. "Miss Gora for one, we both are Bi-Sexual, and two, there's nothing wrong with showing affection, to the one you care about is there?" Acrobat said, grasping Sure-Shot's paw in hers.
"No, there is not, Acrobat. And frankly, its nice to see those who the citizens of this city see as heroes and heroines, display a positive image on a relationship, not considered as normal in my opinion. Here's what I want to do, I want to have the three, female couples of SWAT do a Primetime interview with me. Explaining to the neigh sayers, why their relationship is as normal as one of a tom and she-cat."
"The three, female couples of SWAT?" Sure-Shot asked. "Other than Sniper and Havoc, and myself and Acrobat, who's the third?"
Anne turned it face Sure-Shot, then answered, "That would be Kunoichi and…" she pulled out one of her small notepads from the left breast pocket if her jumpsuit and started flipping through the pages, until she stopped at one towards the end of the pad. She then lifted her eyes from the pad, back to Sure-Shot, and said, "Weaver, if my source is correct."
Sure-Shot's eyes narrowed at Anne. She wanted to protect her friends' relationship, since they both were quite young, and still figuring out, what exactly they were to each other. "Miss Gora, We'll have to ask them, if the are ready to publicly reveal their relationship, in such a manner. And if they say no, I have to know you will respect their decision, and not pressure them into doing what you want."
"I will respect their decision, no matter what they decide," Anne stated. "However, those two appeal to the younger demographic. Who might be having problems dealing with being, different. I wanted to interview them, specifically in order to help the young twenty-something and teenagers out there, who are not adjusting well to being attracted to someone of the same gender."
"That's noble of you, Miss Gora," Adonis added. "But its still their decision."
Anne turned and faced Adonis, and asked, "And what about you, Adonis? That was some kiss, that male Enforcer laid on you. Care to comment?"
"Other than I'm quite happily married to Pirouette, with two kittens. So no, I have nothing to say about the kiss," Adonis answered.
"Too bad for me. Let me know when you have discussed the matter with Kunoichi and Weaver. I'm sure you know how to get in touch with me," Anne said, and walked away.
Acrobat pressed a button on the right side of her helmet, and asked, "Acrobat to Havoc, did either you or Sniper see anything out of the ordinary from up there?"
"Other than the three of you, getting pounced on by Anne Gora, nothing to speak of. What did she want?" Havoc responded.
"She wants to have the, and I quote, the three female couples of the SWAT Kats, be interviewed on Live TV," Acrobat said.
"The three female couples? Sniper asked. "There is me and Havoc, you and Sure-Shot. There isn't another female couple in SWAT… Oh no!"
"Oh yes! She wants Kunoichi and Weaver on as well. Believe me, I'm torn as to what to do. Anne seems genuine with the message she wants to convey, but they just started seeing each other, and Kunoichi is still navigating dating a she-cat. I don't want her, or Weaver, getting hurt," Acrobat said.
"Ultimately, its their decision, if they want to be interviewed, or not," Adonis said. "However, if they do decide to go on, and something makes them uncomfortable, their big brother will be waiting for them. Then, I will personally kick the tail of whoever hurt my little sisters!"
Sure-Shot walked up to him, and as she rubbed his left cheek with her right paw, she said, "Aren't you the sweetest thing. No wonder Pirouette fell for you." She lowered her paw and placed it on her hip, then said, "I really don't think you have to worry about them. Kunoichi can take care of herself, quite well."
As they were discussing the interview, Kunoichi walked out of the museum, with a smile on her face, and a scabbard attached to her left hip, which appeared to contain an ancient sword. As she approached the group, excitingly she said, "You have to see the new collection, Dr. Sinian acquired! I'm going to bring Sensei and Weaver to see it, as soon as the exhibit opens!"
Acrobat turned her body to Kunoichi and saw the sword. She then asked, "I don't think, Dr. Sinian is giving away, free souvenirs, Kunoichi. Where did you get that?"
Kunoichi reached over to the hilt of the sword with her right paw, then withdrew the sword. The blade's finish was dull, and it's had a few nicks on the cutting edge from use, and the leather used to cushion the hilt was very well worn. But the inscription on the blade was almost completely intact. "This might be one of Sensei's grandfather's, or great-grandfather's pieces. Dr. Sinian asked if I could have Sensei take a look at it, and see if she could verify if it is."
"You didn't accidentally blow her cover, did you?" Sure-Shot asked.
Kunoichi laughed, as she twirled the sword in her paw. "No, I didn't blow her cover. I told Dr. Sinian, I knew the new Mistress over at Dojo Saito, and her father and grandfather were these amazing Sword Smiths, who's signature sort of matched the inscription on the blade. I do admit, this sword feels so good in my paw. If it is one of her relative's works, I'm going to have one of them make me a sword, with the same characteristics."
"You can, after you talk to Weaver," Adonis said.
Kunoichi stopped playing with the sword and lowered it to her hip, then asked, "What do I need to talk to Weaver about, Adonis?"
"Anne Gora wants to interview the three female couples of SWAT, on Live TV. We told her, the decision to go on, was yours and Weaver's. Not ours to make. She specifically wants to have both of you on, since you both are young. Your our little sister, Kunoichi, we care for you. We can't make this decision for either of you," Adonis answered.
She sheathed the sword, then said, "I'll talk to her, tonight, when I get back to her home. However, I'm not sure if I'm ready to go public, with me being Bi. I do like her, and I like being with her a lot. I'm not ashamed for feeling like I do for her, but I've seen how the public treat the LGBT community. They say they don't care, who we go out with, but when our backs are turned, they do a 180, and can be quite brutal. I'm sure Weaver can tell you a few stories about her, coming out."
"I'm sure she can. Heck, I've had a few snide remarks thrown my way, after Acrobat and I sort of went semi-public. I quickly learned not to listen to them, Kunoichi and focus on how I felt about her. The positive feelings, quickly push aside the negative ones, believe me," Sure-Shot said.
"Good to know, Sure-Shot," Kunoichi said. She walked over to her Cyclotron, threw her right leg over the saddle, and sank into the seat. As she started the very impressive machine, Adonis said, "You really should think about changing your uniform back to having legs again."
"Why? Does it still ride up, showing off more of my nubile body, than it should?" Kunoichi teased.
Adonis knew he was caught, looking at her lower half. However, it wasn't his fault since her Cyclotron was parked almost directly in front of him. "Kunoichi. I've always supported your individuality."
"Thank you, Adonis," she said.
"But, if you keep your uniform the way it is. Once day, you are going to get arrested for Indecent Exposure," he said.
She leaned forward against the fuel tank, crossed her arms above her chest, and scrunched her face. "Well, if I'm going to be arrested, for showing off my body, then I might as well go all out!" She lifted her upper body from the tank. Then with her left paw, she started lowering the zipper, exposing more and more of her chest.
Both Sure-Shot and Acrobat quickly covered Adonis' eyes with their paws, with Acrobat having to almost climb Adonis to do so. Once his eyes were sufficiently covered, Sure-Shot turned her head to Kunoichi, and yelled, "Kunoichi!"
She stopped lowering the zipper on her uniform, and said, "I wasn't really going to go through with it! I wanted to tease Adonis a bit." She raised the zipper back up to its original position, then said, "Besides, the only one I want to see my assets, in all their glory is Weaver." She started her Cyclotron, gave the throttle a few twists, revving the motor, then said, "I'm going to head back to hangar, then ask my girlfriend, if she's ready to publicly reveal our relationship. See you later."
Two hours later, Kayla arrived at Jessica's building. She was now dressed in a pair of black leggings and a pink shirt. She bound up the stairs to the front door and let herself into the lobby. From there, instead of waiting for the antiquated elevator, she took the stairs up to Jessica's floor.
Jessica had finished cleaning out one of her closets, and half a dresser for Kayla to put her clothes away. However, her bed had all sorts of clothing sort-of neatly spread all over it. "I really need to donate some of this to charity, or something," she said, examining the mess she made. She went over to the bed and lifted a strapless dark red dress, she wore once for a photo shoot, she thought would look heavenly on Kayla. "I'll have to have her model some of these for me, and see if she wants to keep them, before I give them away," she said, laying the dress back down on the pile.
Kayla let herself into Jessica's apartment and closed the door behind her, before seeking out Jessica. With her keen hearing, she heard her, in her bedroom. She briskly walked towards her bedroom, and as soon as she turned to the right to enter, the site before her, made her stop in her tracks.
Before her was Jessica, with her back to her, wearing only a pair of minuscule lavender shorts and a matching sports bra. Both pieces of clothing molded to her body, perfectly, enticing the young she-cat to wrap her paws around Jessica's waist and nibble on her neck. She slowly made her way into the room, slipped her arms around Jessica's waist, and said, "You have no idea, how much I want to kiss you, right now."
Jessica turned around in her arms, to face Kayla, and said, "No, I don't. But I want to kiss you, anyhow, Kayla."
The two sealed their lips together, in a quick, but passionate kiss. They separated their lips, but touched their foreheads together. "Jess, we have to talk, and I can't have an intelligent conversation, when you're this close."
Jessica backed away, but ran her left paw down Kayla's right arm and grasped her paw, taking her to an clear area of the bed, and sat down.
Kayla sat down next to her, keeping her paw intertwined with Jessica's. "Jess, something happened when we were out on patrol tonight," Kayla said.
Jessica's heart started to beat faster, at the thought, Kayla, or one of the cats she considered as friends were potentially injured or worse. "What happened, Kayla?" She asked.
Kayla felt Jessica's pulse increase. She grasped her paw with both of hers, and said, "No one was hurt, Jess! We were sort of ambushed by Anne Gora. She wants to have the," she let out a giggle at the label, Anne used to describe them, and she was actually going to repeat it. "Three Hottest Couples in the city on for a Primetime interview."
"That doesn't sound so bad," Jessica said. Followed by asking, "When do Chance, Callie, Jake, Felina, Mark, and Lisa go on?"
"Not them, she wants Tina, Katerina, Jasmine, and Marissa," Kayla answered.
"That's only two couples, who is the third?" Jessica asked, then her eyes went wide as saucers, and asked, "She wants us on as well?"
"She does. The message, Anne wants to impart is tolerance of the LGBT community," Kayla explained, rubbing Jessica's fingers with hers.
"Kayla, you know I've been openly gay for years. I don't see an issue, with us being on her show, do you?" Jessica asked.
Kayla looked away from her, and answered, "I sort of do. I'm not sure if I'm ready to be as open as you are, Jess."
Jessica reached out with her left paw to Kayla's face and gently brought her around to face her. "Why? Are you having second thoughts about dating me?"
Kayla placed both of her paws on Jessica's shoulders and shoved her back onto the bed. Then straddled her waist with her legs, securing her beneath her. "Don't ever doubt how I feel about you, Jessica! You opened you heart, and home to me! If I never met you, I would still be living in that small studio apartment, completely alone. I feel wonderful, when I'm with you, I don't ever want this feeling to go away. I love you, Jessica." She said and sealed her lips to hers.
As Jessica kissed her back, she wrapped her arms around Kayla's neck. And when Kayla opened her mouth to take a breath, she waited for her to do so, then slipped her tongue into Kayla's mouth. She lightly ran the claws of both her paws down Kayla's back, tracing the feminine muscles, memorizing each one, and Kayla's reaction when she hit a spot that made her body quiver. But when she reached the waist band of Kayla's leggings, she withdrew from their kiss, and said, "I've been waiting to hear those words, leave your mouth, Kayla, for so long. When you slept here for the first time, I knew I was falling for you, harder and deeper than I have ever been before. I love watching you practice with Felicia and the rest of the cats over at the dojo. Seeing the joy on your face, as you interact with your new family, both in and out of uniform. Although, I really love the way your uniform shows off your tail. And the tiny little things you do to show me how you feel about me, makes my heart flutter in my chest." She quickly kissed her, then said, "I love you too, Kayla. I'm going to make love, to the she-cat I love more than anything in the world." She flipped them over so Kayla was beneath her and said as her right paw slipped up to just below Kayla's left breast, "And there is not a thing you can do about it!" She brought her mouth to the left side of Kayla's neck, using her lips, tongue, and teeth, to feel Kayla's pulse increasing, while her paw explored the tender flesh beneath it.
Kayla let out a breathily moan, almost begging Jessica to continue. "Jess, if we're not naked in the next thirty seconds, I'm going to shred both of our clothing!"
Jessica removed herself from Kayla so they both could remove their clothes. Then she got back on top of Kayla to make good on her promise she made earlier.
A few hours later, the two lovers were still in bed with Kayla resting her head on Jessica's left shoulder, with Jessica holding her, running the fingers of her right paw through Kayla's hair. "I've never felt that deep of a connection, when making love to anyone before," Jessica said.
"Neither have I, Jess," Kayla said. "Let them say what they want about me, I'm ready to tell the entire world, I'm in love with you, Jessica. Let's go on that show and tell everyone watching, we love each other and nothing, or no one is going to change that." She quickly turned her head and kissed her, before she said, "I hope Anne doesn't have us wear our uniforms."
"Why? I think you look spectacular in yours, Kayla," Jessica asked.
"And you look sexy as heck in yours, Jess. However, with the stage lighting, your uniform could be quite, revealing."
Jessica knew exactly what Kayla was implying. She smirked back at Kayla, and said, "Well, if my uniform is that revealing, I hope the citizens of MegaKat can handle seeing the body of one of MegaKat's Hottest She-Cats!"
Kayla smirked back at her, then said, "You maybe One of MegaKat's Hottest She-Cats, Weaver. But, you're mine." She accentuated her point by sealing her lips to Jessica's.
