7:00 - Morning

I could not close my eyelids of the night, after some turning and tossing, I decided to get up early to go and visit.

Walking around the nearby forest is so relaxing, I feel at ease with the sound of the nearby cascade. "Aaaaaah!" !?

I could hear in the distance someone screaming and grunting, breaking the established silence, but not on the cliffside but on the lake's.

I ran there worried over Andy's state, did he fell from the cliff, how long has he been there!?

"Andy!" I screamed as I saw Andy training, he was on a makeshift wooden platform that was attached by ropes, it seems it was keeping it in place against the current.

He turned surprised, "Yukari!".

Suddenly, something jumped from the trees into the sky, "Andyyyy!" a kunoichi dressed in red landed on Andy's boat, she wore red lipsticks this time and it was Mai!

"M-Mai!?" Andy looked awestruck back at Mai, he seemed to be blushing but it was hard to tell at this distance, and most likely, he did, considering Mai's outfit.

Mai was wearing a very revealing outfit that exposed her side and inner breasts, her thighs and legs and her arms! You could see her butt cheeks distinct between the soft belts.

"There you are Andy, I've been searching for you all night! You're quite the terrible gentleman! You come back and you don't even say hi?" Mai said while they were both standing on the makeshift platform, "Ah! Mai, well I... I-I was training for the future King of Fighters, t-to win and show Yukari-chan that I won!" Andy spat out after some embarrassed mumbling. Mai looked at him confused and he added "I'll treat her to a nice dinner as well.", "Wow... Andy" Mai started saying softly before her face darkened to another expression, "Since when did you become such a gentleman?" she continued with what I guessed, was sarcasm.

Andy looked at her a bit shocked before calming down and breathing slowly, he stayed quiet, maybe he was too scared to speak?

They both stayed on that ark, the sound of the cascade was the only thing that could be heard now from a distance. I stayed there looking at them, Mai looked quite cool...?

I suddenly saw them talking again, he said to her "I meet a wonderful person while I was away for the KOF tournaments, the team manager of Kyo, Benimaru and Shingo. Yukari-chan. Sh-she makes me happy and I'm glad to have her around-" Mai suddenly cut him off, "N-no! We're spouse! I thought you had feelings for me!" she screamed in an heart wrenching voice.

She left in the instant after hearing that, she looked hurt...

Andy turned to notice I was still here, I was avoiding eye contact, trying to act like I didn't assist to the scene.

16:00 Afternoon

He showed me around the Shiranui grounds and explained to me more how he trained here. I've met a lot of the older masters including the one that decided Andy was ready for real conditions, Jubei Yamada. He was once upon a time called the "The Demon", hehe.

I decided to not mention their argument, acting as if it didn't happen. I still noticed that whenever he looked at me, he would blush and turned away.

"Yukari." He suddenly said which surprised me, "I'm sorry for the way that I've treated you lately. I should have done better but I didn't and I apologize." He bowed longly to signify how much respect he has, it's so nice...

A short while later, he told me that he will go back to training in the mountain and to not go search for me if I get worried, "They're here for us, they will be more capable of finding me if I ever dissapear." he reassured me and he did a gesture that was unusual, he petted my head...!

Andy's hand is so soft...?

I could sense someone glaring at us... Behind Andy, sitting on the Sauna's staircase, was Mai. She didn't do anything more than look at the two of us.

"... Yukari?"

"Ah! I'm sorry, I spaced out." I apologized briefly, he looked at me tenderly and said that it's soon going to be tea time, "Go and take something for us, you can bring it to me upstairs and we'll enjoy our break while looking at the scenery on top of the cliff.", he turned around and walked toward the staircase that leads to the cliff. "Sounds good! See you soon Andy, I'll be back!" I answered right away as he left.

... Mai was still here, she rested her head on her palms, she stopped glaring but she was just looking at me. I didn't feel ready to talk to her, is this truly the lady that accompagnied me yesterday?

16:30 Tea time

After some directions, I finally found where the main house for tea time is. I asked politely one of the monks to prepare me a big tea-pot for me and Andy of green tea since it's more refreshing after a workout. They came back holding a plate with the tea-pot in question and two tea cups with very nice motifs!

"Thank you!" I bowed and he bowed back and wished me a good day, I took some tea biscuits and went to the door.

Once outside, I climbed the first staircase that lead to the main road of the temple, it leaded to some accommodations and it had a the river that flowed down from the mountains. After a stroll, I climbed the second staircase, that lead to the sauna and where the dorms for the students are, this tea pot is heavy... I-I started the third staircase, the one that leads to the cliff, I'm sweaty...

"Wait!" Someone screamed behind me, I turned around and saw Mai right in front of me! I bumped the plate into her in the process and the tea pot and tea cups fell and broke.
She snarled once the liquid spilled over her, burning her abdomen. "*Gasp*! I-I'm so sorry! Are you okay!?" I said frantically, paralyzed by fear, my knees felt weak and were shaking like crazy!

Mai quickly jumped to the river puddle flapping her hands and screaming, tears ran down my cheeks as I ran to see if she was okay, "Mai!? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to spill it on you! Please don't be mad! Pleas-"

*PLOUF*

"...Wow."

Mai came out of the water like a beautiful siren! Her wet hair untied of it's bow that formed the ponytail and let her beautiful brown hair grace the wind as they untangled and fell to the back of the soaked beauty.
I could just stay in awe as a rose blush made my face even more red, Mai-chan... "You're so pretty." I said my thoughts outloud, empty minded and Mai looked up to me, it's just then I realized my error. "Thanks." She answered looking sweetly at me.
