Chapter 47: One year
"Tina?" Yuki called out as she crawled out of bed. Her long shirt was partially tucked into the hem of her pink panties exposing her cute little butt for all to see. Yuki rubbed her eyes as she walked out of her bedroom. Tina was busying herself in the kitchen.
"Good, your home. I figured since I had the day off, I would come over and feed you something other than the ramen I keep seeing in your tra..." Tina turned to look at Yuki, who had gone to the fridge, and let out a laugh. She couldn't resist the urge to tease Yuki as she said: "Yuki, I didn't know you had such a cute little butt."
Yuki, who was bent over going to get some orange juice, face blushed as she hurriedly reached behind her to touch her butt. It was only then that she noticed her shirt had gotten stuck in the hem of her panties. Yuki grabbed the orange juice and stood up, and quickly fixed her shirt. She pouted her bottom lip as she said: "Tina, don't tease me..."
"Ahh! Now you look more like a young girl with that hint of blush on your face. Go sit down. I will make you some food." Tina gave Yuki a teasing smile as she shooed her away. She was already 40, single, and had no kids. She had spent her entire life working towards her goals. This was not to say she had not had a few flings here and there, but she always put her job first, which turned a lot of guys off since she was always working. But everything changed for Tina the day she arrived at a murder scene. She saw a young girl who looked to have just become an adult sitting there covered in blood, hugging her dead friend with a dead body lying next to her. At that moment and time, Tina's heart melted, and she truly wanted to do whatever she could for this girl.
Since their first outing, she had taken a liking to Yuki. Yuki was a sweet girl who, although she had money, was not someone who splurged and liked to stay low key. She knew a lot of this had to do with the life she had to grow up in, but it was all good qualities for a person to have. Tina really wished she had a daughter like Yuki. This was also one of the reasons why she wanted to come over today. She wanted to spend time with Yuki, even if it was only a short while.
Yuki sat on the floor at the small table she had bought, leaning against it resting her chin in her hands. She was wondering how long it had been since someone cooked a home cooked meal for her. She sat there in a daze and only snapped out of it when the smell of the food cooking in the kitchen entered her nose. Yuki's stomach rumbled, causing her to blush.
She did not have to wait long for Tina to walk over with two plates in her hand. "It's nothing much but much better than the crap that you are eating. Tell me, Yuki. You have probably made a lot of money these past few days, right?"
Yuki lowered her head and nodded. Tina let out a sigh. And pointed her finger at her. "Then you should be eating better! Even if it is takeout, it would be much better than those damn dried out noodles. After you leave today, I will be doing some house cleaning. I will be tossing out all of those damn things. I will also do some food shopping and fill your fridge with proper food."
"I will give you my card then before I go so you can..." Yuki at least wanted to pay for it but couldn't finish what she was saying because Tina reached over and put her hand in front of her face telling her to stop.
"It's just a few crowns, Yuki..." Tina scratched her head as she took a deep breath. "I want you to be my daughter."
Yuki's mind blanked out. She didn't think she heard Tina right. "Umm. you want me to be what?"
"I want you to be my daughter. I have been thinking about it. Ever since I met you, I felt the need to protect you. Call it a motherly instinct or whatever you want. But the more I thought about these past few days, the more I wished I had a daughter. And If I had a daughter, I would want someone who was hardworking like you..." Tina explained. She was feeling slightly embarrassed.
Yuki was at a loss for words. The fork in her hand was frozen. It was a little while before she finally registered everything in her head. She then struggled to find the right words to express her thoughts. "Tina… I am not saying I wouldn't want to be your daughter, but… We hardly know each other. I mean, we have only talked twice, today being the second time."
"I know what I am saying is coming out of nowhere. But I have always been a good judge of character. I am not asking you to decide right away. But at least give it some thought and allow the two of us to get to know each other better. One year. Let's try it out for one year with no legality involved. If during that time we do not come to see each other as family, then we forget the whole thing." Tina knew what she was asking was strange. Even she thought she was nuts for asking such a thing. But her feelings of wanting to help Yuki were real, and she felt Yuki would make a wonderful daughter.
Yuki lowered her head, unsure of what to do. She knew Tina was very nice and had helped her a lot already, but she was slightly afraid. What happens if she comes to love Tina as her mother, but Tina abandons her? What if she does something that causes Tina to hate her? The negative side of things was swirling around in her mind. She was an orphan once she did not want to become one again. She looked up at Tina and was about to reject her, but the words would not come out of her mouth. Not when she saw the nervousness and anticipation in Tina's eyes. Yuki sighed. Maybe she was too nice for her own good, or maybe she was just a glutton for punishment. But she could not say no when Tina held such an expression. "One year… We-We will see how it goes for a year."
Tina's eyes lit up hearing Yuki agree. She nodded her head and even passed the bacon on her plate over to Yuki, causing Yuki to chuckle. It seems this new loaner mom was kind of cute. "So now that we are mother and daughter, it is not strange for me to be buying food for you." Tina smiled as if she had just won some kind of victory. "Hurry and eat. I know you still want to go shower at college."
Yuki looked at the time and realized it was already late, so she quickly ate her food and got her things together before brushing her teeth and running out the door. Tina stood in the doorway with a smile on her lips. She felt like a weight had been lifted off her shoulder. She then fished out her phone and dialed a number. "I need you to install a stand up shower, and I need it down today before five." Now that Yuki and her were technically mother and daughter, she would not let her daughter go without!
Yuki hurried her way to college. Just as she entered the gates, her phone vibrated. She took out her phone and saw that she had a message from Trisha. "Yuki, where are you? I am already here."
Yuki smiled and sent a message back saying she was just arriving. She entered the shower room to be greeted by a naked Trisha. Her white flawless skin entered her eyes. She couldn't help but look her up and down. Such beauty was supposed to be admired, right? "Sorry for the wait. I got held up this morning."
"Yuki!" Trisha smiled happily as she hugged Yuki tightly, not caring if she was clothed or not. Yuki chuckled and hugged her back.
Yuki then got undressed and went into the shower room with Trisha, except when she walked into the stall, she was not alone. "Trisha?"
"Hmmm? Turn around, let me wash your hair." Trisha acted as if everything was natural. Yuki looked at the girl who was staring back at her waiting for her to do as she was told. Yuki once again sighed. She felt defeated. In real life, she had Trisha, who was like a small animal, and her friend. Tina, who was kind and caring, and now her mother figure. And in game, she had Chi, who resembled Trisha a lot but actually had animal ears and a tail. Yuki turned around and slowly relaxed as Trisha washed her hair.
Trisha was happily attending to Yuki. After she washed her hair, she washed her back, arms, butt, and then when she got to the thighs, her eyes came face to face with that one spot. Trisha stared at it for a few seconds, her mind wandering to how it felt before. She gulped a mouth full of saliva before shaking her head and continuing with cleaning. She was really confused. In game, she felt her heart racing for Ryu, but here she was staring at another girl's privates with strange thoughts in her head. She was really starting to feel like a pervert. She quickly finished up and stood up: "All set."
"Mmm…. Thank you." Yuki said as she turned around. She then took the towel from Trisha and got some shampoo in her hand. "Your turn…. Trisha?" Yuki saw that Trisha was standing there staring at her with blushed cheeks with a confused expression on her face. "Are you okay?"
Trisha was indeed confused. Once again, Ryu and Yuki's faces were overlapping! She couldn't understand why. She did not understand why two different people of two different sexes would keep overlapping in her mind. She could only stare at Yuki's face in confusion. She only snapped out of it when Yuki leaned forward and pressed her forehead against her own. "You don't seem to have a fever? Are you okay?"
"HUh!? Ahh, I am fine… Right, let me turn around..." Trisha was very flustered when Yuki's face suddenly came so close to hers. But the closer she got, the more the two images of Yuki and Ryu overlapped. 'No, it can't be! It is definitely not the same person. But if it was…. Would that mean… No! No! No! They are not the same. One is male and the other is female!' It never crossed her mind that a female could be playing a male character. Not even once.
