A/N: Thank you to everyone who reviewed chapter 2. thanx so much! im so tired right now b/c i woke up at 5:45 this morning and immedietly started working on the end of the other story, and i didnt get much sleep so i hope your happy. here is chapter 3.

Omi felt like the luckiest guy in the world. He was lying under the meditation tree with his head on Lilia's chest. (do not think like that you perverts!!! they are just relaxing!) Lilia yawned.

"I think I'm gonna turn in now Omi." she smiled softly at him and kissed him goodnight.

"Good night Lilia." He said. Then Omi seemed to think about something.

"Lilia..." She turned around.

"Yes Omi?" she asked.

He seemed to rethink about that and instead said,

"Never mind. Good night." she looked uncertain but then smiled at him and walked away.

Five minutes after she had gone Omi started sprinting toward the garden where he knew Raimundo would be with Kimiko yelling Raimundo's name over and over.

Raimundo felt like the luckiest guy in the world. He had his arms wrapped tightly around Kimiko's waist and his lips pressed tightly against hers. He felt like he was in heaven. Well he was, at least, until he heard Omi screaming the heavens down for him.

"Is that Omi?" Kimiko asked, pulling apart.

"I think so." Rai said. Now he had a problem. His leader side was telling him to help Omi, while his love for Kimiko side was telling him that he couldn't abandon her right now. He looked at Kimiko and she had an understanding look in her eyes. Rai sighed in relief.

"Thanks Kimi." He gave her a quick kiss and walked in the direction where Omi was running and caught him by the head and held him fast while he calmed down.

"Omi, chill dude. What's the matter?" Rai asked, peering into the little dude's eyes.

"How do you tell a girl you love her?" Omi asked bluntly. Raimundo nearly dropped Omi in surprise.

"What?"

"How do you tell a girl you love her?" Omi repeated his question.

"Why..." Suddenly Raimundo realized why he wanted to know.

"You want to tell Lilia you love her, don't you?" When Omi blushed, he knew he guessed right. Rai scratched his head.

"Well, every person says it a different way." Rai started. Omi just looked confused.

"You mean, instead of 'I love you' you say something like, 'I really like you'?"

"No, no. Like..." Rai sighed.

"You'll just know when the time comes when to say it." Raimundo said.

Omi still looked confused, but seemed to understand what he was saying.

"Yes, I will keep that in mind. Thank you for your words of wisdom, Raimundo." Omi bowed and left, leaving Raimundo to ponder what he just said.

Kimiko was walking back to the sleeping quarters when she bumped into Lilia headed the same way.

"Hey Lil! she called out.

"Hey Kim." Lilia said. Kimiko noticed she seemed to be deep in thought.

"A penny for your thoughts?" Kimiko told her.

"Huh? Oh." Lilia waved her hand.

"It's nothing, really."

"Yes it is! I can see it in your face." Kimiko objected.

Lilia seemed to ponder it a moment, then said,

"Alright. Just don't tell anyone at all about this." Lilia said.

"No prob." Kimiko said, crossing her heart.

"Um, has Rai told you he loves you yet?" Lilia asked tentively.

Kimiko thought about it a moment, then said,

"No, not yet. I actually don't know what to do. Should I tell him first that I love him, or should I let him make the first move?" Kimiko said.

"That's exactly how I feel about Omi!" Lilia exclamed.

"Actually, I think he was about to tell me, just right now. I mean, I told him that I was going to turn in, kissed him goodnight, and then he called me back. When I turned around, he looked kind of uncertain, then he said never mind. I dunno, I might have just been imagining things, but I think he might have actually said it." Lilia looked uncertain and hopeful at the same time.

" I dunno what happened, but it sounds like he actually was going to say it. Come to think of it, Omi did do something weird just now. Me and Rai were in the garden doing...stuff" Kimiko blushed at this, but Lilia didn't seem to notice.

"Anyway, he was yelling for Rai, and Rai ran off to catch him before he ran into a tree or something." Kimiko said.

"You don't think..." Lilia looked very hopeful now.

"Maybe he..." Kimiko said.

"And that's why..." Lilia was positively beaming now.

"Oh my god! He was! Oh my god!" Lilia jumped up and down and hugged Kimiko before running off laughing.

Kimiko just shook her head and kept walking. It was good to have someone who spoke your language.

A/N: for those guys who couldn't figure out what Kimiko and Lilia were saying just now, go and ask a girl to translate.
