Hello once again! Okee, so I hope you all liked the Yuffentine moment I put in there. I also want to give a nice big thanks to my beta, The Red Hawk. You're doing a great job so far! Another thing, I know a bunch of reviewers have been asking me 'Are you going to make Denzel and Marlene get together or are they just going to be like siblings to each other?' I apologize, but that info is TOP SECRET to everyone. You can guess and keep reading to see if you guessed right though. And my apologies if updates are a lot slower than when they were with 'Searching for a Way'. Sometimes I wish I could go back in time and stab the guy who invented school so we could sleep in till noon and write fan fiction all day. Well, on with the fic.

Disclaimer: I do not own Final Fantasy VII. In fact, I haven't even played or even have Dirge of Cerberus yet, so I can't even say I own it, own it. In plus it's a SHOOTER! I mean, if they made it an RPG, I would be in love with it, but it's a first person shooter! DX well, beggars can't be choosers. grumbles

Run into the tide

And stare down fate

Take hold of destiny,

Before it's too late

I'll spread my wings and soar in the sun

Maybe even fly by the cover of night

I've got my heart and I've got my gun

And staying caged up just ain't right

Just look at me

Set me free

Anette softly sang to herself as she walked with the others to their next destination. They had left the sector 5 slums as quick as they could and was now taking a short-cut through a grassy plain that would get them closer to the main headquarters inside Midgar. It had a library's worth on mako energy information and what they could do to a) kill Sephiroth and b) shut down mako reactors a little safer; the Lifestream could have gone after them!

Marlene remembered the song from when they would help Tifa in the garden and joined with Anette.

I've seen you day by day

Yet when I wave, you run away

Unlike the boy

I thought I once knew

Then I heard you say

'I can no longer stay'

And all I could think was back to that day

When you embraced me and said that everything is gonna be okay

Run into the tide

And stare down fate

Take hold of destiny

Before it's too late

I'll spread my wings and soar in the sun

Maybe even fly by the cover of night

I've got my heart and I've got my gun

And staying caged up just ain't right

Just look at me

Set me free

The day of tears finally came

Morning didn't feel the same

Then I told myself 'what am I doin' in bed?'

Time to stop running and face what I dread

And just before you left

I caught your hand and begged

Your not gonna be

The one I leave

You're the only chance of me

Ever flying free

Run into the tide

And stare down fate

Take hold of destiny

Before it's too late

I'll spread my wings and soar in the sun

Maybe even fly by the cover of night

I've got my heart, and I've got you

I'll go anywhere you lead me to

Just promise me

You'll set me free

Thanks to your love,

I'm as free as a dove

Floating in the shadows of the clouds

And every day I don't care if we run away

As long as the one I'm running beside, is you

Run into the tide

And stare down fate

Take hold of destiny

Before it's too late

I'll spread my wings and soar in the sun

Maybe even fly by the cover of night

I've got my heart and I've got my gun

Thanks to you, I've become

Free

Denzel and Kai stared dumbstruck. "You actually remember the lullaby my mom taught you guys?" Kai asked in disbelief. Anette and Marlene laughed at his expression. "Well, yeah. It's my favorite song, always has been," Anette said shyly. Since no discussion topics had come up as they warded the grassy plains, she had just started singing, without even realizing it.

"In plus," Marlene added, twirling once in the grass before catching up with them. "It's how we remember home; by holding on to what we learned there so we never forget it." Anette smiled and nodded in agreement. Kai smiled back, hiding the pang of homesickness he felt. The last time he had seen Anette smile that genuinely was after she defeated him for the first time.

Afterwards she sang the chorus of that song, her arms spread like wings as wind gathered behind her. It was as if she was actually going to take off from the sky at any second. His smile started to fade; a different expression was starting to settle. Before Anette could ask him what was wrong, Denzel declared, "The day is almost over and this looks like a good place to rest."

"You okay Kai?" Anette asked, rubbing a hand on his shoulder. He forced a smile and nodded. She sighed and began setting up camp. That was just like him. Whenever something big was on his mind, Kai would never tell anyone, always trying to shoulder his burdens with everything else. And when she tried to find out, she just got 'I'm fine' as an answer. She decided to try and find out what was bugging him so much later.

The rest of the trip to Midgar was mostly silent, on the exception of the mornings or when they set up camp. When they got there, Anette's jaw dropped. This place was huge! Some of the towers went up to a point whereas she thought they would touch the sky, or at least where the sky would be. Instead of a blue sky, she saw a giant metal plate hovering over her, held up by the energy of a mako reactor.

"The information we need is in Shinra's headquarters, which is now run by Kyukan so we will have to sneak in," Nanaki told the others, walking ahead. Anette nodded and followed after along with the others. After checking into the inn and eating dinner, the five went outside and looked at the front entrance of the Kyukan headquarters after a long walk there.

"They are obviously just going to kick us out if we stroll in the front door," Anette said. "Maybe we should go a round-a-bout way, like some back stair case." The others nodded. "But we are going to need key cards and disguises for when we actually get in the building; I doubt they would let us just walk in if we aren't in uniform or don't have an employee card," Marlene pointed out.

"Well, I say we knock out a few guards, take their passes and uniforms, then we take the back stairs just in case, and then get in to access the library and look up what we need," Denzel said. They all decided on that plan and decided to get back to the inn before the sun disappeared over the horizon.

When Anette flopped on her bed, she stared out the window for a moment. "Hey, Kai?" She asked timidly. He looked up from cleaning his buster sword. "Yeah Anette?" he responded.

"I won't have to, well, kill anyone again, will I?" She asked, hiding her gaze. Kai sighed. "I don't know if you have to or not," He said, his eyes downcast. "We might have to kill a lot of people on this journey. But we can't let that shake us. I mean, they will either be trying to kill us or have gotten in the way to a point whereas if we don't kill them, Sephiroth will live on and Kyukan will suck all remaining life out of the planet."

Anette nodded. This didn't make her feel any better. She was so close to the people she killed that she felt them die. She felt their warm skin suddenly go cold as they fell to the floor, their skin going white. The sensation of feeling their warm life drain at her fingers was almost unbearable. She decided to fire off a little bit farther away next time, so she wouldn't feel them die. She sat up on her bed, curling up into a ball.

Kai went over and hugged her around the shoulders, kissing her reassuringly. "It's alright. We'll make it out fine," He whispered. Anette could have sworn she was flaming red right then. She leaned her head in the nape of his neck and thought back what Kai did to comfort her when they were kids, which was surprisingly similar.

FLASHBACK:

"Hey, what are you, half demon? Your eyes are red!" One boy mocked a four year old Anette who had gone outside to play. "And they have a half-glow when they are in the shadows! Just what is that all about, huh, demon-girl?"

"Stop it, leave me alone!" She shouted, squeezing her eyes shut so the boy wouldn't look at them to have a reason to say that. The boy kicked her and was about to hit her again when Kai came rushing in and put himself between that boy, still trying to balance the weight of the buster sword he was learning to use.

"Stay away from her if you know what's good for you," He said, his eyes blazing with fury. He took a step and swung his sword at the boy's side with the broad side, guaranteeing a bruise in the morning. The boy whimpered and scampered off like a stray dog, running down the street to get away from Anette's savior.

He turned around to find Anette curled up into a ball, small tears in her eyes. Kai set his sword down carefully, as not to harm her. "Hey, don't listen to what that jerk says," He told her, hugging her around the shoulders. She averted her eyes, scared about what he would think if he noticed how they gave a dull glow in the shadow she went to hid in.

"Come on now, I'm your friend, I don't care if your eyes glow red," He told her firmly. She reluctantly averted her gaze to meet his. Kai inspected them with interest. "You know, they look kind of pretty when they glow like that," He commented.

"Really?" Anette asked. Kai smiled and got up, offering a hand to help her up. "Really, really. For that kid to call you a demon is beyond me." Anette smiled and took his hand as he helped her up. "Well, I'm gonna ask papa about training too!" She exclaimed. "So I can defend myself someday!" She walked ahead of him but she paused and turned around to tell him, "But until then, my savior will come whenever I scream, right?"

Kai smiled at her and nodded. The two raced home only to be stopped midway by Cloud who had a huge buster sword. (A wooden one, don't worry, he's isn't gonna train Kai that hard when he's that young!) "The first day of training and you leave without warning?" Cloud asked curiously.

"Unkie, it's my fault," Anette said, guilt showing on her face. "A boy was calling me a demon 'cause of my eyes and he hurt me. Kai came and saved me because he heard me scream." Cloud raised an eyebrow. "Is that so? Well, in that case I will let it slip, but try not to wander to far Anette. There are a ton of little boys out there that would do worse to you." Anette nodded and dashed off to see her mother.

"So you came running when you heard her scream?" Cloud inquired, shouldering his buster sword. Kai nodded. Cloud smiled and rubbed one hand in his son's equally spiky blonde hair. "Well, try to warn me before you run off like that," He scolded before they continued training. Kai sighed and ran ahead to the stone circle in the garden. He decided to train extra hard until he could be a certain someone's eternal savior.

END OF FLASHBACK

Anette smiled and kissed Kai, then came free from their embrace to settle on the bed. "Well, it won't help me any if I fall asleep mid-battle," She said, closing her eyes as she pulled one of the blankets around her. "Good night," She whispered. Kai smiled and gave a last pat on her shoulder before going off to bed himself. But neither person seemed to notice the small tube under the nightstand across from them in which two nosy companions had seen the whole moment.

Oo00oO

Denzel and Marlene pulled the 'stealth scope' from the hole they found and burst out laughing, falling on the floor from being squished in both of them wanting to see the 'moment'. Marlene poked Denzel and one poke soon led to a mock battle (if you ever had an older or younger sibling, you probably know what I mean. If you don't, ask and I shall explain!) By the time the two were done, they were locked in each other's attempt to block a blow, the proximity between the two surprisingly small. There was a small glint in Denzel's eyes that didn't escape Marlene.

"Uh, bro?" She whispered, a little uneasy. She loved Denzel dearly as a friend and as a soul brother since they were not brother and sister by blood, but did she really like him like that? A lump settled in her throat and she could hear and feel her heart pound as if her life depended on it.

Denzel timidly started to lower his head to meet hers. Marlene's heart continued to pound, and ache in her chest, her stomach doing somersaults. Just as their lips barely grazed each other, the two heard the floor boards from outside creak and get louder as they neared the door.

"It's Naki!" Denzel whispered and immediately pulled away. When Nanaki entered, Denzel was on one bed reading a book he had previously abandoned to spy on Kai and Anette while Marlene was looking out the window at the town. Nanaki glanced between the two. "You two look a little red and you're panting. What were you doing up here?" he inquired.

"We were just having a mock fight to pass the time," Marlene blurted, a little afraid that Denzel would mention his advances on her. She then mentally slapped herself. This is Denzel we're talking about! He wouldn't just go around blurting things like that! But after that moment, she was really an emotional wreck. This . . . feeling she got as he was mere millimeters from her was so hard to describe . . . yet truly amazing. This whole thing just made her head swim in a river of new emotions, making her feel hazy.

"You look tired Marlene. You should get to sleep," Nanaki said, his eyes tracing over her confused and weary facial expressions. Marlene nodded and lay down on her bed closing her eyes, though she was at the time to warm to pull covers over her. An hour later, her hair was standing on end at the back of her neck and she shuddered in her sleep at the cold wind. Nanaki lay at one side of Denzel's bed, his paws twitching in 'puppy dreams' as nick named by Yuffie one time when they were traveling. Denzel quietly got up and pulled Marlene's covers over her shivering body, watching as she shifted uneasily in a dream.

"Rest well . . . Marlene," He whispered, brushing some of her feather brown locks out of her face, a small smile on his face. He went back to sleep shortly thereafter, dreaming his own sweet dreams as his mother and father overlooked them from the night sky, smiling wide, causing their star to gleam with happiness and pride.

Oo00oO

It was the next night and the plan was running smoothly. They had just 'borrowed' five uniforms from a band of employees that were currently unconscious in a closet. Anette shifted awkwardly, trying not to laugh at the sight of Nanaki on his hind legs, his tail sticking out. "What?" He asked, somewhat indignant. "It's not like I can keep my tail inside; it would burn the uniform and they would see my fur."

"Well, maybe you should just be down on all four until we get up there; if anyone asks, we'll just say you had one to many glasses of sake," Anette said loftily. They reached the back door.

"Just as a warning, the way up by stairs is going to take a while," Nanaki warned Kai and Denzel as they started trying to race each other up to the top as if it was just a game. "Oh come on! A few stairs aren't gonna kill us!" Kai replied airily, getting a lead over Denzel who was trying to recover the lead.

2 hours later . . .

"GOD FU#$ING DAMMIT, THERE ARE STILL STAIRS?" Denzel cried as they reached the next flight. He and Kai were now crawling on the floor. Anette laughed as she came up behind them and leaned down, swung one of Kai's arms over her shoulder, put an arm around his lower torso and carried him like that for the next few flights until he was rejuvenated enough to walk on his own. Marlene helped up Denzel and when she offered to do the same he shook his head, and told her, "I can't burden you with having to carry me around like a weak animal."

"Oh come on, you can lose the tough guy attitude for a few flights at least!" Marlene exclaimed, catching him as he started to fall. "You just ran fifty five hundred flights of stairs; your at least healthy," Marlene joked. He groaned and leaned against her, his arm winding around her.

He just needs support; He just needs support She told herself over and over again, blushing.

"Hey you okay there? You've been acting a bit strange of late," Denzel said. The others had now gone ahead, so they knew nothing of this talk they were having.

"Oh, I'm fine," Marlene said nervously. Denzel stumbled, though it seemed almost on purpose and Marlene ended up against the wall the corner on one side, and Denzel's left arm on the other side. "Am I making you nervous?" He asked, the proximity between them once again closing slowly, his head slowly coming down to meet hers. All of what Marlene felt earlier had returned one hundred-fold.

"Um . . ." was all she could manage. She took a gulp and prepared for the inevitable. But just before their lips met, they heard Anette calling, "You need help with Denzel? You're lagging behind." Denzel inwardly swore to himself. He came away from Marlene.

"Uh, can you walk okay?" She asked timidly, trying to break the tension in the air around them. "Yeah; thanks for helping me," He said, giving her a small smile before walking up to meet the others at the top. Thankfully none of them had actually seen him advancing on Marlene; they just called for them. To him, it was the perfect moment. When they were just finished with their mock fight and they had that close proximity, it was an almost uncontrollable urge rose in his body to just kiss her then and there. And he would have succeeded if Nanaki hadn't interrupted.

"Have to see if Naki can stay in Kai and Anette's room for one night," He muttered so it was even softer than a whisper in case Marlene would hear. They joined up with the others to find them all at the end of the stairs, Nanaki wobbling as he got used to walking on his two hind legs. "Finally an end to the stairs," Denzel sighed gratefully.

"Well, let's get on in; and if they are going to believe our alibi of Naki having too much to drink . . ." Anette whispered, taking out rubbing alcohol and cotton. Nanaki gagged at the scent. "Have you forgotten my sight and smell is thrice as sensitive as yours?" he reminded her. "Would you rather get caught?" Anette pointed out. So he grumbled, but put up with her dabbing some of his uniform in alcohol. When she was done, she put it away and slung one of his fore paws over her shoulder.

"Let's go guys," Kai whispered. He opened the door and the five entered, trying to seem as normal as they could. They took the I.D cards off the guards when they took the uniforms, but they didn't look completely like the people in the picture, especially Nanaki. They just hoped that nobody would try to look at there I.D cards. They were just about to reach the elevator when a superior guard behind them asked, "Where do you think your going?"

They froze in place. "My friend here has had one too many glasses of sake sir," Anette coughed out, gesturing to Nanaki. "We were going to take him up to the nap room to rest and hopefully help him get over hangover for duty which is in twelve hours." The man spotted his tail and looked at them suspiciously. "What's with the tail?" Anette tried to look as sad as possible. "A tragic mako accident sir. He was showered in too much and he became half man half dog." She tried to fake tears. "It is hard to bring it up sir," She wiped one of her eyes.

"Pull yourself together soldier!" He barked, shoving Anette. "Get that man up to the infirmary and deal with his alcohol consumption!"

"Yes sir," Anette said, saluting him as he passed. When he turned the corner they all let out a sigh in relief. "That was close," Kai breathed. Nanaki was under a gloom bubble at the moment. "I'm a fire lion and you say half dog . . ."

"Oh come off it! I had to say something!" Anette said, opening the elevator and hitting the switch to go to the 62nd floor where the library is. They heard a small 'ding' and the door swung open to reveal an abundance of rooms that held three promising bookshelves each. A short old man was strolling down the hall, an open book in hand, obviously lost in thought as he bumped into Kai.

"Oh, my apologies sir," He said in an old, frail voice. Anette came down to eye level with him, putting on as innocent a face as she could manage. "Excuse me sir, but would you happen to know where the information on mako energy plant blueprints and mako creatures would be?" The little man smirked evilly. "Why yes, I have a private library that is only reachable with my key card." He held it out in front of Anette as if he was taunting her. She reached out precariously and was just in reach of it when he snapped his hand back.

"But . . . you must guess the password! Get it right on the first time and you get a little bonus," He said, putting away his key card and scuttling away. "Oh man, I remember father saying something about this when I was little," Kai said, scratching his spiky head as he tried to think back. "Do you remember what the password is?" Anette asked. Kai shook his head. "I remember him telling me that he had to search through all the libraries to get it," he responded.

"Well, let's split up then!" Anette said. "I'll go search with Kai and Nanaki. Denzel, Marlene, try the first two. We can search the back two. After we are both done with those, we can search the last two rooms together." They all nodded and went their separate ways. Marlene nervously bit her lip and hoped that if Denzel did end up kissing her, the others wouldn't walk in or interrupt.

They both went in the same room to search for books. "Um, I'll check this one," Marlene said uneasily, rushing over to the book case to examine the title of the books. Something told her that the secret was one common word that showed up in every book somewhere or another. Denzel searched the shelf behind her. When she was done she got up too fast and, having that brief dizzy feeling, backed up and bumped into Denzel.

"Oh, sorry," She said, eyes downcast. She was about to check the other shelves when Denzel's hand shot out to stop her. "Your acting a bit different from your normal cheeriness," Denzel said knowingly, trying to see her face through her feather brown locks as they cascaded over her shoulders, held loosely at her back with her pink ribbon.

Marlene rubbed her forearm nervously. His hands slid to gently grasp her upper arms, searching for her face with his blue eyes. "Marlene, please look at me," He asked her gently. She squeezed her eyes shut momentarily. It was a dirty trick. If he had just said 'look at me' she would still have the option of keeping her head down, but if one of them actually pleaded, they would always do it. Her chocolate brown eyes looked up to be caught in his, unable to look away from his ocean blue pools.

Her heart leapt to her throat as he slowly brought his lips down to meet her in a firm kiss. At that second Marlene couldn't even describe the wonderful feeling that ran through her. It had felt like electricity raced from their kiss all over her body, leaving her knees feeling like they were going to quake any second and a tingling sensation all over that made her hands shake slightly.

Denzel's gentle grip on her arms released and wound around her waist, pulling her into him, deepening the kiss. His tongue slid into her mouth, scouting every inch of her mouth. Marlene's hands went around his neck and they stayed like that for a second, in pure ecstasy of the moment before breaking apart.

Marlene felt the electric feeling leave her, her knees held a little more strength. But it had all felt so wonderful; she couldn't even begin to describe the thunder in her heart. Her eyes went downcast again. Denzel gently rubbed her back. "Marlene," he cooed softly. She met his eyes once more and they kissed once again, just as passionate. After a few minutes, they heard the others calling, "You done yet?"

Now both Marlene and Denzel swore this time. They hated to end this moment, but it appeared they must. They broke apart and Marlene leaned her head on Denzel's chest. "Yeah, we're almost done in here!" Denzel called. But on the inside Marlene was an emotional wreck. This wonderful feeling . . . she never wanted it to leave. But something inside her felt like it couldn't take so much happening so fast. Small tears slid down her cheek as her mind had a civil war.

Denzel looked down at her and noticed her crying. "Hey," He said soothingly, bringing his arms around her protectively. "It's okay; I'm here," He whispered softly. Marlene looked up into his blue orbs and kissed him briefly, then dried her eyes and grasped her hand in his.

"We better go help the others," She mumbled so she was barely audible, but enough for Denzel to hear. He nodded and kept her hand inside his, never wanting to let go of her after that moment. "Well, do you think we should tell them just yet?" Marlene inquired as they made their way out.

"Nah; they would just give us payback for spying on them," Denzel said. Marlene giggled and reluctantly let her hand drop out of his as Kai and Anette came around the corner. "So you guys find anything?" Anette asked them. "Well, I notice that just about all the titles of the books had 'mako' in there somewhere," Marlene said, hiding a blush of what she found out afterwards; which was Denzel was one hell of a kisser.

"Yeah, I had a similar pattern," Nanaki and Anette pitched in. "So it's decided then? The password is 'mako'?" Kai asked. The others nodded and they all went to find the little man with the key card they needed. They found him pacing a room with a book in hand.

"So? Have you found the code?" The little man squeaked. Kai nodded. "Then what is it?"

"The password is mako," He said firmly. The little man grinned. "Correct," He said, pulling the key card out from one pocket and a bright blue materia out of his other. "The key card and your prize," He stated and got on his tip toes to present them to Kai. Kai stooped down and got both.

"It figures that you'd get it right though; you've been here before," The little man added. Kai was thoroughly confused. "No I haven't. I haven't even seen Midgar until today." Remembering he was disguised as a Kyukan soldier, he quickly added, "I worked in the Corel reactor until I was recently transferred," He hastily added.

"Well, happy researching!" And he then slowly walked down the hall. Kai inspected the materia and jumped in astonishment. "That old geezer is willing to give THIS good materia to us?" He cried out. Anette was puzzled. "What kind of materia is it?" she asked. "Me and Marlene work in a materia store, or at least we did until this adventure, so we know if something is rare or good or not."

"It's an elemental materia," He said. Marlene and Anette's eyes looked like they would pop out of their heads. "That's only one step of rarity down from a summon materia!" Marlene exclaimed, looking over the materia.

"Well, let's use that key card and check out that information, shall we?" Denzel offered, twining his fingers into Marlene's when the others went ahead of them. "Then we can get home sooner," He whispered to Marlene. She blushed a little before leaning her head on his shoulder wearily and followed the others into an elevator.

"This one takes us to floor number 87 . . . Hm," Kai said to himself as he pressed the button to go to that floor. When they entered that floor, they were surprised to find it much smaller of a space with a single desk, a few candles for light and one mountain of books. "Well, let's start digging," Kai sighed, trying to dig one book out from the bottom. "Kai, don't!" Nanaki barked, getting back down on all fours, and then proceeding to lie down. "Take one out from the bottom and the whole stack will fall."

After what felt like days when it was really an hour, they found the book they were looking for. It had no title or anything. Anette curiously opened it and started reading. "Hey guys, I think I found it," She called from her seat atop the mound of books. The others looked up at her, expecting her to read aloud her findings.

"It's a journal of a guy named Hojo when he was creating Sephiroth," She stated. "It reads, 'I am working day and night to find a way to create the ultimate human being that never tires no matter how much battle, and has unparalleled strength. But it has weaknesses. It must be birthed from a human woman that had the fertile egg injected with mako and the blood of an Ancient for an extra kicker. But that leaves the subject completely vulnerable when faced with someone whom has attempted defeating him once and has gotten close to succeeding. Though the difference is not as noticeable as some people think, it is enough of one to mean failure and success.'"

The others pondered this before Anette turned the page to see a blue print of a mako reactor with creatures in capsules printed at one end. She was mortified when she saw them. "Is that what's creating the monsters?" She cried. "What do you mean Anette?" Nanaki asked. She passed down the blue prints for them to see and the journal with its passages.

Marlene leaned against Denzel wearily. "Well, we found what we came for; I just wish the results weren't this horrible . . ." She said, one of Denzel's arms curling around her to comfort her like a brother would to a sister. She looked up at him, slightly confused when she caught a wink in one of his eyes.

"Thanks bro," She said, playing the part like he did. They decided to stow the information and get back to the inn. After ditching the uniforms, they were out of the Kyukan H.Q, they headed back to the inn.

"Alright now; let's hit the sack," Anette said between a yawn. Nanaki decided to alternate between sleeping in Denzel and Marlene's room and Kai and Anette's room just to keep things fair. When Denzel and Marlene got in their room, they kissed each other deeply, Denzel pulling Marlene to him in a warm embrace, Marlene's arms twined around his torso in response. When they broke apart, ocean clashed chocolate in one pure gaze before they kissed again. Marlene tripped over one of their bags and thankfully, the two landed on one of the beds. After scooting on the bed a bit more, Marlene let her head rest on the pillow, her eyes slowly drifting closed. Denzel smiled and put his arms around her waist and kissed her neck before going to sleep himself, his heart soaring.

"Rest well, love, rest well," He whispered as his eyes closed and he pulled Marlene to him, and the two rested like that until the rise of morning.

Chapter 4 is DONE! Alright, I hoped those Denzel and Marlene moments satisfied you all. The idea just popped into my head and I just started typing it. Also, I didn't put a disclaimer for the song cause bum bum ba dum; I wrote it! Okee, I am sorry if the song sucks, but I just started humming a random tune and then the words just popped in my head and I mentally yelled 'holy crap, this would work really well for my fan fic!' well, please review!
