The last couple of weeks of basic passed without incident and Kano kept up his nightly texting with Tiffany. They had progressed to a bit of sexting as well after their little breakthrough event. Messages between them started flying as soon as they had free time, and some when they didn't. On the night before graduation, they became downright explicit and Kano felt as if his boys were going to explode. The graduation ceremony passed by and a great cheer filled the stands. Kano noticed his mother and father had managed to find the time to come see him so he hurriedly reported to his Drill so he could spend a but of time with them.
"Hoffstedder!"
"Oor-Rah!"
"Here's your bus ticket. It leaves at 0600 tomorrow. Now get the fuck up out my post!"
Kano rushed forward and stood before his Drill Instructor and received his ticket. As his hand touched hers, a knowing look passed between them. He could not stop himself and gave her a wink.
"Catch you on the outside, ma'am. "
"Not if I catch you first."
"Maybe I'll take a trip to Brazil. Seems gorgeous there."
Her face reddened as she recalled that she had worn her Brazilian flag panties on the night he had witnessed her pleasuring herself. Even her stone cold demeanor was dropped for an instant as her lip curled up in a smirk.
"I said git, Marine!" she yelled making Kano jump.
He gave her another Oo-Rah and ran off to meet up with his parents with a shit eating grin plastered on his face. The crowd forced him to slow down and he found himself among the throng of newly graduated Marines. An idea came to mind and he concentrated on his
There she stood, her dress uniform making her look even more sexy than he thought was possible. His desire for her flesh was rooted deep in his psyche now. At some point, he knew he would have to have her or else it would be the regret of a lifetime, even if it was only for the single time. Ignoring the commotion all around him, he stepped towards her, but found that someone bumped him back. Annoyed, he looked at who had gotten in his way and saw a short and stocky looking woman. Her face had a rugged appearance to her and she had a sport cut instead of the usual hairstyles he saw on females.
"You're Hoffstedder. The Hell is the matter with you! Don't you be getting after Vulf like that! You could end her career!"
Confusion spread across his face as he took the small spitfire woman in. She was butch, almost manly in how she stood. Her chest was poked out like she was ready to fight. Then it struck him and he figured out why she was so pissed. Tiffany had no preference when it came to lovers. She had been with a couple of women in the past along with a couple of guys. She did not have a promiscuous high school career, but she was no virgin either.
"Listen, she picked me. She dreamed about me. I gave her something you couldn't, and if I get my way, I'll give her something else too." He responded with a wink and deftly strode past. In two steps he wrapped his arms around Tifany, catching her from behind and lifted her up forgetting about the bothersome woman he just met.
"Got you." he whispered into her ear eagerly and gave it a quick nip. She did not bother suppressing her giggle as she recognized who it was.
"Alright you. That's enough!" She cried as she swatted at his hands, laughing all the while. A blush had risen upon her cheeks and gave her a wonderful hue. Turning around, she placed her hands on his chest and leaned against him. "My parents didn't make it, how about yours?"
"They did, but I had to come find you first." Kano lifted her chin to look in her eyes. "I had to see you at least one last time before leaving. But now, maybe you can join us? I'm sure they wouldn't mind. Just give me a few minutes and we can all go eat or something."
Before she could respond, he pressed his lips to hers and marveled at her taste. A hint of cherry which must surely be her lip gloss, teased his senses. His tongue quickly invaded past and danced with her own. After a few moments, which seemed to be an eternity, they pulled apart. She found that she had to catch her breath as she must have held it during the kiss. No boy or girl had done that to her since her first kiss. Maybe it was the celebratory environment, maybe it was the wait and anticipation of his touch, but somehow, his kiss felt like her first all over again.
"So yes?"
She could only nod and tried to steady her heart. In her mind, she already knew what she wanted to do after his parents left and she hoped they would leave rather quickly.

"Don't give me that look, mama." Kano sighed as he watched his mother's eyes glow brightly at the sight of Tifany on his arm. They stayed glowing all the way to the restaurant they were more seated in. "We are just talking. We don't even know where we will be stationed yet."
But the knowing smile and glow never left his mother's face and he could not help but sigh again and wrap her up in a warm hug. His mother had only one thought on her mind, since she could never have more children due to health complications, her son would have many children for her and fill her house with joy. "She is very beautiful."
"Yes, mama. She is." Kano agreed and smiled as Tifany almost spit her drink out while trying to take a sip. She had not expected his parents to be so agreeable. Especially after she saw Kano's father in his Army Dress Blues.
"So, how on earth did you get a girlfriend in basic training? I know things are more lax than when I went through it, even on the Army side, but still..." His father complained good naturedly. Colonel Roger Earl Hoffstedder leaned back and let his 6' 5" frame settle a bit better. He was a bear of a man and was the main reason Kano had such a build. Tifany could tell that while Kano was of slight form, he had already started to match his father in muscle. His father is also where he had gotten his height from as his mother was barely pushing past five foot. She took another look at Kazuko Hoffstedder, the perfect blend of beauty and grace. She was petite and demure, the perfect opposite to her giant monster of a husband. While he commanded respect with his size and presence, she would be given it with her poise and demeanour. 'No wonder Kano has such charm. I bet he had all the girls in his school days.'
"Actually, I was on the obstacle course, climbing a wall. I had almost reached the top when the rope broke. If your son had not been in the lane next to mine and leaped over to catch me, I don't know what would have happened." Tifany revealed and Kano's parents both looked at their son with a newfound respect.
"So, mama-san, do I have any competition for your son? He wouldn't tell me even if I asked." Tifany decided she need to know more about her new beau and mama was always the one to ask, especially after she saw how Kazuko was excited at the prospect of her son dating again.
"Just one."
"No, mama, that ship sailed. She left. We've both moved on. I would like to think I found better." Kano quickly tried to get ahead of the curve. He knew where such a conversation would lead and no man wanted to go there.
Kano's father laughed uproariously and motioned for a waitress to refill his glass. He knew his wife was only dreaming of how his son and this girl's children would look. He had to listen to it quite often when Kano and Vicky were dating. "Son, you better watch out or you'll find yourself married when a girl acts like that."
His wife smacked his arm, half playfully, but the light burned brighter in her eyes as she looked over the blonde young woman sitting next to her son. She could almost see them tying the knot, maybe a wonderful traditional church wedding, or even a traditional Shinto wedding ceremony! Her dreams ran away with her mind as visions of destination weddings and other exotic ceremonies danced along. Kano could almost see the gears turning in his mother's head and gave up in defeat and pulled Tifany closer, his arm draped across the back of her chair. They sat and talked for a bit longer before his parents had to leave. Kazuko gripped her son with a ridiculously strong hug, as if refusing to let go, while his father shook his hand and tried to pry his wife away. Kano and Tifany waved as the two drove away, his mother already telling his father all about how cute their children would look and how he needed to fix the fence on the back side and the block of concrete needed to be removed from the side yard.
"I guess I should have warned you about my mother."
"No need. It's fine. I'm glad you brought me along." She felt warm and began to think about the idea of being this woman's daughter in-law. She knew she would always have help as this poor lady must have a constant case of baby fever. If Kano were deployed, she would be there. It was a strange feeling to be looking at the future they might have. Then she came back to earth and remembered she had her own career first. She was an IT tech and loved it. Maybe... maybe after she is done with the marines she and Kano could settle down. Her thoughts were interupted as her lips were sealed by his and the warmth of him overpowered the thinking in her brain. She clutched at his biceps like a lifeline as she drowned in the sea of desire. Finally, they came up for air and breathed heavily as they leaned against each other.
"So, what now?" he asked her with a decidedly lewd grin on his face.
"Now, how about we find a place to stay for the night." She responded, giving him a rather seductive look and quickly pulling his face back down to hers.
