Tamori Taka: An opportunity to test limitations presents itself

The pair returned to their dojos and their studies, though they resolved to increase the frequency of their visits to one another, now meeting up almost every week, not to let so small a distance come between this new and exciting romance.

They each loved their lessons, and with Keshintai's exciting martial traning, and Taka's intriguing theological instruction, the pair had plenty to occupy the moments they spent apart. Before they knew it, another year had passed and they prepared for another New Year's celebration.

"Hey, how would you like to stay around here for the festival this year?" Keshintai asked one day, "One of the elders of my town, who usually does the fireworks, recently passed on, so the job is open." Keshintai smiled, "How would you like to design the full display for once?"

Keshintai smiled, to see Taka's wide, heartfelt grin. "Oh, Keshintai, that's amazing!" Taka exclaimed as she tackled her girlfriend off her feet and into a warm hug and a deep embrace.
