something more than frienemies

*disclaimer* I do not own Once Upon A Time or its characters. I also do not own the idea just the story I make from Annajadekin's idea and as i mentioned before has the right to make me shut down this story if it's not what Anne was looking for.

Alright I'm sorry left you all hanging and that this is the last chapter guys because I have somethings distracting me an I wanna keep this a good as possible. I have to admit I almost wrote something that fell off prompt and had to scratch start over so I hope it's good. There is nothing to crazy just took time watching the last episode and making this as close as I could.. My fiancé has gotten to frustrated with how it ended and I had to watch it online somehow.

Anyone else feel that way? I am a person that once I start reading or watching something I have to finish despite the changes I agree or disagree on lol can't stand not knowing the end. So I'll be there with you all when the next season comes.

Anyways read and review but most of all hope you enjoy and I'm sorry for errors.


As soon as Regina witnessed the make-out session she immediately turned away her heart leaping into her throat. Her recently admitted feelings suddenly became jumbled up with those of anger and disbelief. It was almost instinct to turn and want to be alone right now but the way Emma called out for her made her stop. The shock that filled her voice made her almost willing to turn around and check and see if it was real. Her pace slowed but her heels still clicked on pavement.

"Regina wait!" Emma tried again this time more firmly. "It's not what you think. He was you. I thought you came home early then he was him when you came in.."

"Ms. Swan you are a Dark One, are you telling me you did not sense his magic." Regina demand in hear most stern queen like tone as she turns to face Emma.

"I..I did but I thought it was just you were feeling off. I didn't notice until I grabbed you I mean him. He was pushing my buttons said he ran into Robin and that he sworn he loved you and wouldn't give up on you and then that you were doubting I could love you as much as he did." Regina's face then falters much like her steps. She would never believe Robin loved her that much. Not after how he left her for Marian. When she turned to see Emma's eyes it was like looking into the eyes of a lost child. They swirled with pain and rejection. That's how she found herself spilling words of kindness mere moment after feeling such frustration.

"No I could never feel that way about him Emma. He left me and I believed in you to never hurt me too." At this Emma broke down only able to continue feeling like She had just lost everything. Did Regina true feel she couldn't be trusted? A moment later Emma's face was pulled up by a gentle finger. Regina looked her in the eye to say. "So if you ever do something like this with real intentions you better make sure that you are ready to see me really leave."

Emma sniffed while mutely jumping with joy. Her expression gradually changes and she hugs Regina with all her heart. Somehow she was lucky enough to have a woman that would believe her which made her love Regina all the more now. While wiping her eyes free of tears Emma pulled back so she could speak again.

"I swear Gina I'll never hurt you intentionally. Thank you for giving me a chance." They fell into an embrace once more and this time their mouths attached and their tongues battled fiercely. If hook had vanished only far enough to check on them he might find them like this and only be further disappointed by the situation. Instead he was farther gone and had no idea the true exstent the two went to make up. Then of course there was the plan they had which was now changed only slightly to make sure hook would fail in whatever evil plots he had going on in his head.


It took what felt like forever for Emma to pull herself from Regina's bed even long after she left. Regina was forced at least pretend to leave just in case Hook was watching them an expected her to eventually storm out. Really though Regina would be just waiting a far while Emma prepared herself for what should be a very emotional evening. It was time to beat Hook at his own game. She left her hair a mess and doned herself in the same clothes she wore earlier.

When she rather unnaturally easily brought tears to her eyes and rubbed her checks hard enough to look raw she poofed right to Hook's docked ship. Knowing Hook must have known the moment she arrived she made no sudden movements. She only allowed herself to stumbled up the steps to board his ship. He looked shocked yet rather proud of himself. Like he had done something so good to get her back.

Emma wanted to slap him hard but she wrang her hands instead. She let her seemingly weak self fall into her ex lovers arms. She let a hickup escape. She let his hand caress her cheeks to wipe away her very real tears though they were not about him or Regina.

"What's this? Have you come back because you learned she will not stay forever. Or am I just to console your broken heart?" Hook asked In his thick English accent. Emma was tempted to say what would hurt him more but she couldn't if she wanted him to let down his walls to her.

"I.. you assumed I didnt want you. I know why I'd never gone after her and then you left me.. so I told her just to prove to myself it couldn't work. Then she wanted to be with me and I thought maybe it could be. You kissed...you were her.. she left me." Emma rambled choking and mixing up words like anyone this upset might. "I knew it wouldn't work out and you made me! I just wanted to be with you and forget her... make me forget her Kill." She begs almost making herself believe she could be sincere while practically gagging inside at the same time.

Hook pulls her close not sure of much but pretty sure she is quite broken and upset. So much so that he is willing to believe her. He mutters he is sorry and admits he was a little rash an may have forced her to do such a thing but now she was his again. Regina would have been disgusted with Emma's ability to convince him so easily. Emma knew this yet the truth was Emma had done a lot of pretending as a bounty hunter. The day she met Henry was not the first time she lured a man in by her assets or offering a relationship of sorts.

This was no different except now she knew Hook personally. She knew leaning into him was giving up the upper hand until he relaxed. She knew that special spot he loved to have nipped so she took the liberty of engaging his other emotions. Excitement was her best chance at distracting him. She felt her skin crawl when she let her jacket get tugged from her body.

Hook wore a hungry needy look in his eyes due to Emma's words as she clung to him. What looked like a desperate attempt to kiss him was really the only way she could prevent her clothes from being removed too. While kissing him Emma could feel his power rise only just a little but still she backed up knowing exactly what he was going to do. She couldn't fake it anymore. She didn't want him she wanted Regina like this. Thankfully her step backwards took him by surprise causing his almost disrobing of her to halt.

"What is it love?" He asked taking her shoulders in his hands. Emma try as she might couldn't keep this up much longer. She knew he couldn't really care for her but his eyes said other wise. She for one though doesn't feel like getting crossed again by him or his temper. She gently shakes her head half telling her self it's just a few more minutes and half meant for Hook to express a little bit of uncertainty on her part to him.

"I know you love me and I wish I did love you right now but I can't. I'm sorry. I was afraid to tell you I wasn't ready yet but.." Emma slowly raised one hand to his forarm that rested on her shoulder. She rubbed it softly so he would believe her. All while the other hand moments later took the other forarm and slapped a leathery cuff on him. Only he saw it coming and furiously lashed out. Emma was flung only a few feet before she grounded herself again with magic. Regina was there in seconds of Emma's distress as if she sensed it instantly. They used their combined power to hold him in place by using a deep need to protect their other. This usually impossible task to complete without squid ink was only possible by both women working together. It took focus and so much energy that Emma could only inch closer one inch at a time.

This time the leather cuff made it to his arm and sunk around it locking on just moments before he screamed from feeling the dark magic being locked up. Taking a deep breath Emma said her final piece. "Then you went an died and I felt bad for not being ready and not having my chance that I did this to you. Now I have to undo it make it the way it was suppose to be." Summoning the Excalibur, new and whole, Emma told herself it was the only way. Hook both hopelessly without magic and no longer under the darkness's will begged Emma to let him go.

"I'm sorry I hurt you Emma, I really do love you." Was his last words as Emma quickly ran the blade through him. She felt a pull deep within her that told her something was removing every bit of dark magic from inside her. The feeling making her stumble back into Regina's awaiting arms while Killian kept falling from where the sword left his stomach. They were both free from the darkness somehow. All Emma could do was watch as Hook fell to the ground now looking much like he did when he died Camelot.

As promised Regina only appeared on the ship when she could sense Emma had removed Hook's magic or was caught and needed her help. It all happened so fast an eventually she could only watch as Emma glowed before seeing the shock on her face. It didn't take a genius to understand why. She was there when she fell back and Hook dropped. Regina braced herself so she could catch Emma if she needed it. She didn't fully fall into her arms but it was nice to know and feel that Regina was there just behind her.

At first Emma cried into Regina shoulder then she went to Killian's body and cried more as she decided to build his coffin from the wood on his ship. It didn't look like a coffin until he was completely surrounded and she shaped the wood. Then she poofed it, Regina, and her to the cemetery. She had no more tears left soon and turned to her lover who just stood there being strong for her.

"Are you mad that I had to kiss him?" Was the first thing she asked though it came out hoarse from all the real tears and crying. "That I still cared for him even if I don't love him." She woundered if Regina would understand and continue to be there for her a little longer if she needed.

"No. I'm not mad. You cared for him and you had to feel something again just to pull this off I'm sure but I'm not mad at you for anything you had to do tonight." Her voice was so soft and soothing that Emma finally allowed her tense shoulders to fall. Physically incapable of burying Hook now so Emma turned away from his coffin.

"He wouldn't have wanted to be buried before but he liked Henry because he was Neal's son. He grew roots here. I think he wouldn't mind it now." Regina couldn't agree more and wrapped Emma up in her arms as she whispered softly they could do it together if she wanted. Regina knew a lot about burying an enemy that had always been a loved one first. She didn't have the heart to let Emma struggle in this alone.

She would never have the heart to let Emma do anything alone again. As she took up her hands she counted down and joined her true love in doing what should never be done alone. They buried him and covered him. There was no stone yet but Regina easily conjured one. It was made to say

out to open seas

Finally home to be free

here lies Killian jones.


The next day after Emma slept most of the day to recover both emotionally and physically they held a town meeting. Informed everyone there was no more threat and that Emma was no longer a dark one. Of course Henry as curious as he wanted to know what happened. The two choose to bring him to the cemetery and give him a chance to say goodbye. He was angry they had to do this but after hearing their story he could see that there wasn't much other choice but to remove the darkness in turn killing him.

Not being particularly proud of it they both left some details out of it. Henry did not need to know the lured him in by using his feelings against him. The three went home together after a while and in doing so they all tried to move on. It too a while but they did. Emma felt more guilt than anyone and because of this Regina knew it would be a long road of reminding her that everything was better now. However this didn't keep from Henry being angry at his grandfather and this did not change for quite some time. It was cruel to Henry how he used the situation to get the Dark One back. Gold was always a coward an he would continue to be this from now on even if belle couldn't help being with him while still knowing the truth. He didn't win the sword back because he was a hero. He did it because he had a plan that he couldn't let fail.

Gold may be the Dark One again but fortunately he too knew just how powerful Emma and Regina were together especially if they didn't quite yet. It could be years or months down the road when they would learn by needing to face another villan together but he decided it wouldn't be him if he could help it. It was bad enough they were making some pretty strong wards around town now to protect people for any future problems. Those wards were easily his strength and he knew that was them hardly trying to do so. Their magic was bonding from how many times they have used it together.

When good time and peace kept on and they felt it was time Emma moved in three months later and they began living together allowing every night to be like family night. Henry felt bad with how quickly his family changed and it cost Hook his life for a while until he finally came to terms with the situation. He finally understood how dangerous the situation must have been for both his mother's when his grandpa David sat him down to explain what his parents could not.

Hook was very powerful stronger than Emma because she was the dark one first. His power feed on her connection to the darkness too. Which meant that had his mother's refused to work to get her or either one been late on helping the other they would not have made it at all. So now everyone knew they were true loves and the strongest force together. When he went home that night he hug his moms very happy they made it together. He could never take having them alive and together for granted. Not for anything because nothing could ever be better than having his family happy and whole, however complicated have a younger uncle and and younger almost sister/ younger half aunt has made it.

The end.
