Disclaimer: As usual, I own nothing but ideas and Ariana in this. So enjoy it. I hope it's good.

"Well, I guess this is where I gotta leave ya…unless you want some drama between us and your friends. In that case, I'll stay" Beelzemon watched Ariana dismount Behemoth.

"Nah, that's the last thing I want. Thanks…for everything I mean".

"Not an issue. Does this mean my debt's repaid?".

"You never had a debt to pay anyway".

"You know I did. I had to repay you for those nights you let me stay with you".

He got off of Behemoth and was greeted by a warm embrace from the only human he genuinely cared about right then.

"I don't wanna hate you!" Ariana started to cry.

"You don't have to. I'll never hate you anyway".

"I love you, Bee…so much. I hate this!".

"No…don't. It's not really goodbye when you think of it. Wherever your friends are…wherever there's potential data…you'll find me".

"Okay".

"You're stronger now, Ari. Don't disappoint me the next time we meet".

His blood red eyes met her sapphire colored orbs and found himself feeling slightly unsettled. Ariana buried her face into his chest, and he didn't mind the tears on him. No wonder why she wanted someone to take care of…and someone to care for her. Beelzemon had to leave now, or her tears would make him stay.

She finally released him and they separated. They met each other's gaze one last time, but tried not to think of it that way. Ariana watched him leave, with a hint of worry in her heart.

"He'll be fine…hopefully. No, he'll be okay, he'll be just fine" Ariana tried to assure herself.

"She doesn't need me…In five more years…then she'll need me. She's safe with her friends. That's all that matters now. I love her…God, I love her".

He drove off, away from her, but her image was forever in his memory. It always would be.

A/N: I know, this was really short, and really corny, but the next one's gonna be better. I promise. See ya then!
