OK, I know this chapter is SHORT SHORT SHORT, but alas, it is the holidays and I've been busy so I might add more after tomorrow. And WOW, more reviews than I asked for. Thanks guys, and guess what? NO FLAMES!! YATTA! On with the short chapter I finished 10 minutes ago.


I cannot believe this. I CANNOT FREAKIN' BELIEVE THIS!!! Forte, human-hater for all time just kissed me!!! A human. Did I mention I can't believe this? Good. Of course, by now Enzan had Wily under arrest, and Meiru, Dekao, and Yaito were around me asking if I was OK. Actually, Dekao was only asking because Meiru would be ticked off beyond belief if he didn't ask. Anyway, it was kind of annoying to have 5 voices in my ear; Rockman was also shouting out from his PET.

"Honest guys, I'm fine! See Meiru-chan?" I jumped up and hopped around on one leg to prove the aforementioned point. "So can we please stop talking about me?" I wanted no questions, cause on way or another, Rockman was gonna find out Forte kissed me, and that alone would suck big time.

"WHAT?!" Rockman shrieked in my head. "Netto-kun, did you just say Forte of all people- er Navis- kissed you? Wait wait. Don't answer that yet."

I sighed in relief. "You're telling me EVERYTHING when we go home, got it?" Oh crap. So much for home-free.

"HIKARI!!!" Wily shrieked at me as Enzan handcuffed him to a traffic sign. "Where's Forte?!"

"Gone." Enzan snapped impatiently. "Now shut up or I'll duct tape your mouth shut." He waved around a roll of shiny silver tape. I looked around and saw the others, and their Navis glaring at Wily. Was I the only person who wondered where Enzan got that tape in 5 seconds? "Blues, contact the police. Tell them we've caught Wily and need him incarcerated as soon as possible."

"Hai Enzan-sama." Blues' voice filled the air for a moment and then he called, "Done sir."

"Good. Hikari, you should go home and get some rest. Did Forte do anything to you, punch you or anything like that?" He must've noticed the blush on my face, because then he asked, "Am I missing some information?"

"NO!!" Rockman and I shouted. "Uh, I am feeling kinda dizzy now though." I added, to kinda down the suspicion in the guys' eyes.

"Netto!" Meiru yelled, and with near un-see able speed had her hand to my forehead. "You go home RIGHT NOW and get some rest, OK? Or else…"

I gulped. Meiru could be SCARY when she got worried about your health. Not someone to disagree with, so I said good-bye and headed home. Rockman was quiet for the walk, so I guess he had calmed down considerably. That gave me time to think about everything. For the past 6 months I'd known I was gay, or bi anyway. Meiru, Dekao, Yaito, Enzan and all the Navis found out later; The good thing is they don't care. Dekao seemed overjoyed because he thought he'd have Meiru to himself. What I wanted to know was if Forte knew and was trying to use it against me or something.

"Yeah right. You keep telling' yourself that Hikari Netto. You know it wasn't violent, and he certainly sounded like he meant those words." That pesky voice in my head that Rockman couldn't hear nagged. "Don't deny it; he called you beloved you moron and using you or not, he wouldn't call you that just to get atcha. If word got out, he'd be a laughing stock!!!"

The voice was right. The kiss he'd give me wasn't forced or harsh. It was gentle and soft; Almost like he didn't want to hurt me. I couldn't help but laugh out loud at that thought. Forte had tried to kill me more than once to try and hurt Rockman. The idea he wouldn't want to hurt me was absurd. Impossible. Unimaginable. Preposterous. You get the point. It was not likely to happen. But it did.

Another thing I was worried about was what he meant by I'd be his. The kiss gave me an idea of what he wanted, but the… certainty with which Forte spoke still sent chills down my spine. When he became king. He was positive it seemed that he'd rule one day. Hopefully that day would be long after my death, and Rockman's.

But with my luck, he'd be king by tomorrow.


I forgot to mention last chapter aisuru means beloved. I wanted to catch Netto's reaction which I pictured as something really funny. Consider this comic relief. Next chapter will have a little confrontation between Nebula and the Net Saviors, with an unexpected ally with unexpected intentions. Until then, REVIEW!! Don't just sit there, REVIEW!! Thank you.
