(Accidentally) Seeking Mother's Approval

Akashi had been doing a lot of thinking lately. Her career was in a small state of flux and she was being pulled in many different directions. She was fine with that, for now, knowing she had a lot of open doors and she was just trying to figure out which would be the best to step through. But while her career was a little crazy, it seemed that her home life was settling down quite nicely.

Her relationship with Taylor was never better and even though they lived in two different cities, they talked often and she saw her enough. Things were going better than she expected with her roommate Cassie and even her relationship with her own family was doing really good thanks, in part, to Cassie's own family coming to visit.

With being in such a good place in her life, she couldn't help but feel like there was something missing. She knew what it was, or so she thought. Mina. The woman had been her life but now she was gone. She always told herself that she was coming back but it didn't seem to happen. Akashi knew she had to move on. She had to put herself back on the market. She still slept around, but in Akashi's mind, there was a difference between going to bed with someone and waking up with them. That was what she was looking for. In the whole of the people she knew, there weren't very many names that came up. She'd slept with a lot of girls in her day, but how many did she really want to wake up with? Most of those girls were sexual conquests.

There was one name that came to her mind, however. The two had had a little bit of a history together, although it didn't seem like it was a very friendly one, Akashi found herself thining about the girl more and more often. Karina Rinne.. The two had gone rounds more than once, and each time it had ended in heated passion. They had a love-hate relationship but Akashi wondered if it could ever be Love-Love? Their last few encounters had Akashi wondering how Karina really felt.

But maybe that was just it? She really didn't know. The fact that she COULDN'T pin it down, made her determined to find out once and for all! She decided that she would stop by Karina's house and make the girl say her true feelings whether she wanted to or not!

She clacked up to Karina's door and pushed the doorbell with determination in her eyes. This was a serious matter of love, after all!

Unfortunately for Akashi, the person she was looking for today had left just a few minutes ago to have some fun. Yuriko had left as well, deciding to explore the city and find the most tastiest ramen. While those two were gone, their mother had decided to cook for them. She was a very lazy person if she would just stay home alone all the time and wanted to make something for their daughters that they might like. She had put chocolate cake in the oven, something that Karina would protest atleast six times to before she would eat it happily and Yuriko would be very slow, taking small bites from her piece. She really knew her daughters well.

She was also preparing spaghetti, something that the three of them loved and made a whole load of cheese stuffed meatballs, another thing they all loved. While she was preparing it all though, the doorbell would suddenly echo through the halls, making her blink and wonder if one of them had forgotten their key or something since they had told her that no one was going to come over today. She removed the apron from her body and adjusted her glasses, letting out a soft yawn as she figured she didn't have to check the cake for a good twenty minutes and she was pretty sure she wouldn't have to wait that long at the door.

" Hai Hai~ " She would let out so the person at the other side of the door would hear her, trying to look decent enough so she wouldn't scare anyone off and opened the door, finding Akashi right in front of her.. Whom she didn't know at all. She scratched the back of her head lazily, wondering what to make of this person in front of her, she certainly didn't look like your avarage saleswoman but then again, her own blouse was hanging from her shoulder, showing off a part of her massive chest.

Spoiler:

" Hi.. What can I do for you? "

Akashi heard the soft calling from behind the door and raised an eyebrow. She couldn't make out the voice, but from the sound, it seemed like Yuriko was going to answer the door. That was good. She liked seeing Yuriko as well. Although she said she still owed Yuriko some punishment from the humiliating loss in the tag match, but those thoughts started to fade away. Yuriko may have been a little mischievous, but she was a sweetheart. She really couldn't stay mad at her forever.

But when the door was open, she saw a stranger open the door. She stared at the older woman, blushing and eying her subconsciously. The woman was beautiful and of healthy size in many areas. Akashi had to shake her head out of her daze just to answer.

"Ahhh... uh...." She stuttered as she bowed. "Tanikaze Akashi! I think I have the wrong house...." She said and looked away. "I thought this was the Rinne household... I' have been here before but..." Maybe Karina moved? Had it been that long?!

The woman listened quietly to the nervous girl in front of her, who introduced herself and went on about why she was here. She kept on scratching the back of her head, waiting until Akashi was finished. " Ah.. Well this is the Rine Family's place. I am their mother, Kahlana Rine. " She would bow to Akashi in return, she wasn't going to be impolite, raising back up straight. " Ah.. I'm afraid both Karina and Yuriko are out for a few hours.. Would you like to come in and wait for them? I could use someone who can sample my cooking! "

Though she really didn't know Akashi at her, she was certain that both her daughters hung around with good people, even though she had no idea what they do for a living. She stepped back from the door to let Akashi in should she accept the invitation.

Akashi's eyes widened at Kahlana's words. "Mother!?" She exclaimed. The woman certainly looked good for having birthed out two children. Really good. "I thought Karina-ch... err.. Karina-san only lived with herself and Yuriko-chan!"

Akashi furroweed her brow. "W-Well, I DO need to talk to Karina-san, so, please, if it's not tooo much torouble, I would like to stay and wait. Then, suddenly, the smell of food entered her nose and she gave a pleasant whiff.

"I-It does smell good..." Akashi said as she grinned at Kahlana.

After Akashi got inside, she would close the door behind them and hearing about the aroma of the food she was cooking was good, she would joyfully hug Akashi, since she did had not received a compliment about her cooking for a long while. " Ah, Thank you! " She would say cheerfully before releasing Akashi after hugging the sumo babe against her for a good while. " Ah, sorry! Not used to compliments anymore! " She would guide Akashi to the living room. " Please take a seat there! the cake should be done soon so you'll get the first hot piece. " Since she hadn't began cooking the spaghetti yet and had only been preparing for it, she could take a break, taking a seat on the couch with a loud sigh. " Also been a while since I did so much work anymore. Cleaning this house and cooking.. They live like pigs! "

Akashi gasped at the sudden hug that Kahlana's words. It almost felt like one of her hugs. It was soft and firm and felt quite nice. Akashi melted in the motherly bosom as she was embraced. She almost felt like purring and she, embarrassingly, was getting a little excited at the thought of their bodies pressing together.

"You're... not?" Akashi said as she raised an eyebrow. Even Akashi complimented her mother's cooking. She expected that from Karina but even Yuriko?! That didn't seem right! Akashi was taken to the living room and sat down on the couch. She let out a sigh and leaned back before Kahlana plopped down next to her.

You shouldn't clean and cook after them then! They left the nest, leave them be! Karina's the woman of the house, she should be taking care of her Imouto!" Akashi nodded. "You should enjoy the time you have without your kids. Isn't that why you spent half your life raising them? To watch them spread their wings from afar?"

Kahlana took her seat besides Akashi and let out a soft groan, her body was a bit tired from the workout she did for this house and Akashi's words did make her giggle softly in amusement. " I rarely come here though, I just surprised them this morning and told them I'd take care of the house while they would do their thing for the day.. I think Karina was going to work out and Yuriko.. Well.. She wanted to find the most delicious ramen in whole Japan.. I don't know when either of them will be back precisely but I am sure they will be back for dinner. "

She would rest herself bac kagainst the couch and look over at Akashi. " So.. How do you know my daughters? "

Akashi nodded and smiled softly at Kahlana's words. It was definitely a nice gesture from a loving mother. She furrowed her brow at the woman's explanation of where her daughters were but knew that it was her own fault for not ringing ahead.

"H-How?" Akashi said. She was actually a little dumbfounded by Kahlana's words. "Really?" She said. She was actually a little surprised and a little sad. "Hasn't Karina-san told you about... her work?" She meant to say Me in place of that, but she stopped herself. It wasn't like Akashi bragged to HER mother about what she did. She only told her when she was wrestling in "clean" matches and didn't really tell her about all her co-workers. But even still, Akashi was one of the biggest names in AFW and karina and her were rpetty intimate. Wouldn't that be worth telling her mother? Or maybe the opposite. "I work with Karina-san..." She added.

" Ah, no. She left home when she was little and said she was going to be a rock star. Yuriko left some time later to follow Karina to make sure she won't get in with the wrong crowd. " She shrugged to herself, stretching her arms and legs and letting out a soft yawn, her massive chest puffing out as she then thought about the cake. " Oh! I'll be right back! " She would quickly gett off the couch to head towards the kitchen and check on the time of the cake, she was just a minute too early but it was enough for her to pull it out of the oven after turning it off.
