I haven't updated in like...a year! But like I promised I would never abondon any of my stories, so here is the last and final chapter =)


Recap:

'GGRRRROOOOOAAAARRRR...UUUUUUHHHHH!'

And then, he felt an overwhelming pain well up coming from his right foot. He fell back upon his back.

His eyes were focused on the night sky before him. In the distance he saw the shillouette of a ferris wheel, which gondolas were softly swaying in the wind.

Seto's POV:

The next time I woke up, I felt strangely warm and…comfortable?

I instantly snapped my eyes open and looked around, only to come face to face with yellow cat-like eyes.

''HHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!''

I fell backwards and bumped my head on the ground, causing me to groan in pain.

From somewhere to my right side I heard an amused chuckle.

''Tehe, silly brat. You should have seen your face! Hilarious, I tell you!''

I growled out in anger and glared at the person who was holding his stomach while laughing his head off.

I opened my mouth to tell him of, when I really took a good look at the person next to me.

He had raven-colored hair and a strong manly face; he appeared to be around 17- years- old. But the most striking aspect of him that instantly took my breath away had been his beautiful yellow eyes. They captured me, lured me in and I couldn't look away.

Suddenly a light pain coming from my right leg snapped me out of my daze.

''Ow! What the hell-''

''You shouldn't move around so much just yet. That monster sure got you there, almost tore your whole leg off. Lucky for you that the awesome me had been right there to save the day~.''

I pulled the blankets that had kept me warm away from my injured leg to estimate the damage. I frowned when I saw blood-soaked bandages envelop my leg, starting from my feet up to my knee. I had to look away and instead focused my attention on the young teenager before me.

''Thanks…I guess. Who are you? And how long have I been out?''

The raven-haired boy sat down in front of me and folded his legs under him so he was sitting in a tailor seat.

''You can call me Crow and it's just been a little over….12 hours I think. It's already noon by now, so let's grab something to eat. I'm starving!''

With that Crow jumped back to his feet and ran through an open door.

I was left to sit on a bed in a small cottage, or what I assumed to be a cottage. From a window to my left I could see over something that strangely looked like an amusement park to me.

I sighed and laid back down on the comfortable mattress. This was the best that I had slept in days.

My thoughts drifted off to the strange older boy who has saved my life and who had taken care of me.

Crow…seemed to be quite the enthusiastic character.

''I wonder how long he has been- wait, wait, WAIT! A human! I…I-I have found another human being! I'm not alone anymore!''

My face burst out into a blinding wide smile.

A human!

I snuggled deeper into the soft blankets, the smile never leaving my face.


The next time I woke up, I was greeted by the pleasant smell of something delicious. My mouth watered and I heard my stomach gave of a rather loud grumble.

''I see your quite hungry, heh. Come on, let's eat!''

I sat up and rubbed my eyes to get rid of the tiredness that still hung over me like a blanket. I slowly pushed the covers off of me and sat on the edge of the bed. But when I tried to stand up, I all but fell out of the bed when my legs gave out under me.

I closed my eyes, ready for the oncoming impact, but none came. Instead I felt warm, strong eyes embrace me gently, holding me up.

''Woah, careful there. I don't think you should walk on that leg of yours for a while. Here, let me help you.''

''What are you-HHHHHHIIIIIIII!''

In one swift motion, Crow had lifted me up bridal-style and carried me to a chair in front of a wooden table. He gently sat me down and then he did something even more surprising. He ruffled my hair and patted my ruby-colored locks.

''H-hey! D-Don't do that!''

I felt heat rise to my cheeks and I knew that I was blushing.

I heard the other chuckle and then sit down in another chair on the opposite side of me.

I shyly looked up at him from beneath my hair and saw him smiling at me. He placed a plate full of delicious looking soup in front of me and I immediately began to consume the food, like I hadn't eaten anything in days. Well, which was kinda the truth.

After we had eaten he suddenly started to look at me with an intense gaze.

''So, what is your name? I think it's only fair that I know your name, after you already know mine.''

I swallowed once to get the knot out of my throat and then replied.

''S-Seto. My name is Seto…umm…how long…how long have you been here, Crow?''

Crow still looked at me, as if I was the most interesting thing in the world. The smile never left his face.

''I have been here for something like over a week, I guess. Not really sure. I travel around most of the time to look for something very special. What about you, I haven't seen you around this place before.''

I felt my heart beat faster all of a sudden when he said that he was searching for something. I don't know why, but somehow I felt like I could actually trust this cat-like stranger.

''I, too, have been on a journey to find something that I have been missing. I travel around on my own and try to find it. I had been searching for a place to spend the night, but then I got attacked by that disgusting monster and well…the next thing I know I woke up here…with you.''

A sudden glint of something I cannot name appeared in his beautiful yellow eyes and I again felt the uncomfortable heat rise to my cheeks.

He kept looking at me, never leaving my eyes.

''You are kinda cute.''
I gaped at him for this sudden and totally unexpected sentence and began to squirm under his penetrating gaze.

''S-Shut up! Why do you say that?''

He only smirked, his eyes still focused on me.

''Because it's true~!''

Suddenly his playful tone changed into something more serious.

''What is the thing…that you are searching for?''

I looked at my hands that rested on my lap and played with my fingers. I didn't trust myself to look into those strange eyes of the black-haired youth.

''I…I'm looking for someone like me. Another person to…love me and who I can love in return. Since my grandfather died…I have been so lonely. So…so lonely. I don't want that anymore, I just can't. So I have been on this journey for so so long-''

Wet droplets fell onto my hands in my lap and I realized that I was crying. I tried to stifle my sobs, to keep my tears at bay, but I couldn't. I haven't cried in a long time, but suddenly all my hidden emotions just broke out of me.

Suddenly I felt warm, strong arms embrace me and I was gently pulled into a firm chest.

Large hands kept stroking my back in a reassuring rhythm.

''Shhh…you're not alone anymore. I will be here for you, now and for as long as you'll have me. I, too, have been searching for someone very, very precious. Someone who will keep my heart and cherish it, so I won't be forgotten. Can you…will you have it? Will you take what I have to offer and be with me?''

My breath was coming in short and uneven when I heard the soft whispers of Crow in my ear.

Could my search finally be over? Could this person really love me the way…I loved him?

I felt myself nod and hug him back as tight as I possibly could.

''Yes. I will take your heart, if you'll have mine in return. Let us be together, please. I don't want to be alone any longer. Never again.''

Crow suddenly lifted my up into his arms again and carried me back to the bed, where he gently set me down.

''What-''

''Shh…everything will be alright now. We will be together for as long as I am able to.''

He laid down next to me and pulled my tightly into his chest. He stroked my hair and leaned his forehead onto mine.

I wanted to ask him how he had meant his last sentence, but when I felt his slow even breath hit my face, and his rhythmic rise and fall of his chest, I knew that he was asleep.

I snuggled into the warm arms that surrounded me and let myself drift into unconsciousness that was beckoning me.

Before I fell asleep though, I felt myself smile. A real smile that I hadn't smiled in a long while.

I felt at peace here in the arms of a person who was just like me. A warmth and heat settled into my heart that I thought would never be there again.

I was loved.

And I knew that we would always be together.

I had found the place that I had always belonged in, I felt it with every fiber of my body.

Here, right here, was the thing that I was missing.

Love, had been the thing that I was missing.

And I had found it.


That was it =) Hope you enjoyed it :D
