Chapter 6. Taking the Day Off

September 14th

Xonj wakes up to see the beautiful Okami still asleep. Her hand laying in front of him with her wedding band glistening from the morning sun. He then lays his hand on hers and lays in bed thinking of their wedding ceremony last night under the moon. Friends surrounding them as they danced their first dance. Now today they will be visiting the lake with friends and staying in Philus's lake house for the honeymoon. Okami then wakes up and Xonj clinches her hand and they both smile. Xonj thinks to himself.

"I have never been happier, or stronger."

The two get up and get ready. First the two are visiting the 47th floor known as The Flower Garden. The two come in from the warp gate. There are flowers and couples everywhere. Xonj takes Okami's hand and walks around smelling flowers with her. The married couple take a seat in one of the benches and sit to talk till it is time to go to the lake.

After talking for some time a large group of children teleport in with a women accompanying them. Okami gets up from the bench and rushes over to them. Xonj sits watching her laugh and play with the kids. Xonj hopes to wake up after this game and have kids of his own one day with Okami. A voice asks Xonj.

"She belong to you?"

Xonj turns his head to see a man dressed in red and white. Almost a samurai theme to his armor.

"Yeah, she is." Xonj responds.

Xonj smiles as he looks at Okami playing with the children.

"Lucky guy. My names Klein by the way."The man replies.

Xonj stands and holds his hand out for a shake. Klein Grabs his hand and asks.

"So do you know anymore women like her?"

Xonj replies

"There are no others like her, but I am about to go to a lake with friends. I am sure there should be at least 5 other women there."

Klein's face turns excited

"You wouldn't mind if I tagged along would you?"

Klein asks with now both hands on Xonj's single hand.

"Yeah why not man."Xonj then responds.

Then smiles. Not to long after meeting Klein everyone was at the lake. It was a beautiful day for some swimming. All the guys Xonj, Matty, Philus, and Klein wait down by the lake for Okami and all of Philus's employees to come out of Philus's japanese style house. Philus has a seat in his chair under his umbrella and opens a book. While Xonj, Matty, and Klein stand and wait, day dreaming of what the women will be wearing. In mid day dreaming Matty asked Philus.

"Hey how did you afford closing the B&B&B down for the day?"

Philus does not look up from his book responds.

"Oh yeah I just deducted it from both of your pay."

Xonj and Matty look to Philus and say at the same time.

"You don't pay us."

Philus lowers his book and his eyes look side to side. He then raises his book and says

"Well be that as it may."

The door to Philus house slides open. From beyond the paper door emerges the girls. Okami wearing a sundress and holding a volleyball.

"How about a game boys?"

Okami challenges The guys. They all snap out of their shock and accept the challenge. Okami, Ren, and Yuna verses Xonj, Matty, and Klein. The girls come at the guys hard in the match. The guys sprint all over the field. The match did not last long. It was a landslide victory for the ladies. After some gloating Okami jumps into Xonj's arms and gives him a kiss. He spins her around then sits her back on the ground. She places one foot on the ground and releases her lips from his. She then places the other foot on the ground and says.

"Ready to get in the water?"

Xonj nods his head and Okami pulls her sun dress off over her head. Underneath is a light blue bikini. Okami laughs and runs off to the water. Xonj is stunned and snaps back and rushes to the water with her.

The rest of the day everyone enjoyed the water and lunch. The day went by fast and it was reaching afternoon. Klein comes up to Xonj and shakes his hand saying.

"Thanks so much dude for letting me join you for the day. I needed this for sure."

Not long after Klein departed Philus and his girls head back to Gandzam. Matty says his goodbye's as well. Xonj and Okami retire to the house and spend their Honeymoon together on the lake.
