Chapter 6: Destiny

Green eyes looked his watch, pushing his glasses up his nose as they began to go down, 'Drat…It's almost eight! She's gonna kill me!' he thought as he pondered over his instructor, rushing out of his house.

"Hurry dear! You're late!"

"I know! Bye mum!" he called on as he rushed to his bike and pedaled to school.

Sure, he didn't have a car like most of his friends, but then again, he supposed that it was better.

'I live close by and it's environmentally friendly.'

Within a few minutes, he reached the parking lot and there fastened his bike upon the railing and locked it before rushing to the building. He stopped at the doorway and took a moment to look at his black school uniform. His suit was fine and his pants too.

He looked at his rubber shoes and sweat-dropped, 'She won't notice.'

With a nod, he opened the door and ran…only to collide with…a girl.

They toppled over, with him on top of her and covered his ears as he heard her scream, "Pervert!!!"

'Me?!' he asked mentally in shock, 'A pervert!? Never! Maybe Heat and Serph…! But never me!' he internally justified as he shifted the repulsive attribute to his younger brothers.

He quickly got off the young woman and straightened his glasses, thanking the gods that they hadn't been smashed at the impact! He then stood and held out a hand. She took it and there both stood as they composed themselves.

He scratched the back of his head, his face cast down and sweat-dropped, "Sorry about that…I wasn't looking and I…" he trailed off as he now looked at the girl he bumped into…closely.

He froze though as he looked through a pair of dazzling obsidian orbs… Her hair was swept on one side, and her bangs covered her right eye…Her pink lips were full and luscious, like strawberries that were just waiting to be plucked.

He looked at her and noticed her petite stature; petite and slender. 'A real cutie…' he thought, stunned.

He also looked at her apparel and noted in appreciation the sailor fuku that she wore. She wore a white blouse that was attached with a sailor collar with a long black necktie tied at the front of the blouse…with a black suit over it, its cut just at her waist and a short pleated skirt that went down to her pearly white thighs.

Up to her calves and down her knees, she wore loose white socks and a pair of black shoes. He wanted to drool on her but kept his face.

'Wow…' he thought. He had never seen her around school before…He was a junior at their high school and had studied there all his life…and he had never before seen this girl before.

He blushed as he felt the feeling of attraction. He smirked to himself as figured the feeling to be mutual as the girl blushed under his gaze.

He blinked as he remembered where he was. He held out a hand again, "By the way…I'm Gale."

The girl looked from his eyes to his hand, silently debating whether or not to take it. She chose the latter and shook his hand, "I'm Vanessa…" she said, seeing that she had been mistaken. He didn't look much like a pervert…

'In fact…just remove those nerdy glasses…and he looks…kinda cute.' she thought with glee, noting his tall posture…and his nicely toned body…with his deep yet caring emerald eyes…and his short yet neatly combed light brown hair.

His heart skipped a beat at hearing that name. He didn't know why…but he felt as though he knew her…from somewhere.

"Say, do I…Have we ever met before?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.

She giggled, "I don't think so."

She then took her hand back and began to walk past him, towards the door when he followed her and smiled, "Hey! Where are you going?"

She turned back to him, "To the girls' building! Where else? This is the boy's side." she told him as-a-matter-of-factly.

He blushed; right. He nearly forgot about that.

"Um, would you like someone to show you the way?" he offered hoping that she would say yes.

She giggled; he was cute…but…he was trying too hard, too fast.

"Erm, don't you have a class to get to?"

'Oh crap!' he yelled frantically within, 'Damn!'

Seeing the fright and hurry in his eyes, she nodded and turned away, heading to a different direction when his voice stopped again, "Maybe we could…hang out later…?"

She giggled again.

He really was trying very hard, wasn't he? Well…maybe she could give him a break.

She turned to him and smiled, "Sure. I guess."

He smiled at that, "Great…I'll…see you at the main entrance at your building?"

She nodded, "Okay…"

Gale, forgetting about his class widened his smile, "So…um…what are you in to?"

She giggled, "Don't you have a class to get to?" she asked, reminding him for what seemed to be a thousand times.

Again, Gale's brain felt as if it had been fried, "Ah…Damn…! Oh yea…Well, I'll see you Vanessa!"

No longer wishing to respond to that, she muttered a low "bye" and there dashed from the place as well.

Gale smiled as he ran through the halls, looking for his classroom. He had never been late…This had been a first for him. Well, it wasn't his fault he reckoned. He had been tired the previous night and had overslept.

He made a sour face, 'Maybe it's those two again, messing with mum's sleeping pills.'

He then shook his thoughts off his mischievous brothers and there thought of the girl that he had just met…He looked at everything around him dreamily. Why did he feel as if he had met her somewhere before…?

Why did he freeze when she looked at him…?

Even when his instructor had given him a day's worth of detention, he didn't really care.

He was blind, deaf and dumb to everything around him…

All that he thought of was hair of onyx…and a pair of eyes of obsidian.

'Vanessa…'

He knew not…but the gods hadn't been completely cruel. He had found her…He had reached Nirvana and it had been a Nirvana with her in it.

They had found one another, but this time…there had been an addendum.

Now, they were free of their past mistakes…of their evils…of their cruel demons. Now, life had been set upon a clean slate. Now, they had a chance. They had a chance to live their lives the way they really wanted to; within each other's arms…knowing of only pure and unadulterated love.

FIN

A/N: Please note that this happens AFTER the events of DDS2. Yes; Gale goes on through DDS2 still pining over Vanessa. But then again, that's another story.

And yes, I've set their Nirvana in the modern day of Japan. LOL!
