Chapter VII
Two Weeks later -------
"Schwartz Bruder!" The fighter called. "Where are you?"
"I'm afraid that he's not here, Domon." Alyxis said stepping from the cockpit of the Gundam.
"Alyxis? .... Whoa... What ..... What are you doing here?!"
"Schwartz," she said stepping on the platform that would bring her to the ground "stepped out to get parts for the Gundam."
"You didn't answer my question!"
"Domon Kasshu. Don't you have better things to worry about such as how you are going to beat me in tomorrow's match?" Schwartz said in a calm tone as he entered the hanger.
"I'm not worried about tomorrow's match." Domon said confidently, but his mind told him that he wasn't ready. Domon has fought hard in this tournament, and all of his victories have shown that. He has won every battle up to this point and the upcoming battle made him a little nervous, because, like himself, Schwartz too has won all of his battles. And on top of that, he has beaten the other four members of the Shuffle Alliance.
"Well you should be, because that temper of yours is going to be the cause your defeat."
'He's right. If Schwartz does beat me it will be because of my anger.' "Whatever! I'm through talking to you! I asked you a question, Alyxis, now answer it!" Domon yelled.
"I don't have to answer to you, especially with that temper. Now, if you have any more questions for me you can loose the temper and ask me in a civilized manner. What would your father say if he saw you acting like this, better yet, what would your brother, Kyoji say?" Alyxis said trying her best to keep a calm tone of voice.
"Kyoji is not my brother, and I never want to hear him referred to that ever again!"
"Domon!" She screamed at him no longer able to hold her calmness. "Why do you say that? He's your blood. Sure, Kyoji has done some horrible things, but despite all of that he is still your brother. How...." Before she could say anything else Schwartz placed his hand on her shoulder and stopped her from speaking.
Alyxis was angry. Domon and Kyoji use to be so close, what happened?
"Domon, it's obvious that you came here to talk to me; so why don't you come with me to a more private spot."
"You know what, Schwartz, what I have to say can wait until after tomorrow's fight."
"Suit yourself. We'll see if the 'King of Hearts' is truly worthy of his title tomorrow." Schwartz said as Domon turned and walked out of the hanger.
Schwartz turned around to see his partner sitting on the ground with her head resting on her knees. When he heard one of her whimpers escape her silent cries, the fighter knelt down beside her and pull her close to him so her head rested on his chest. "Hey, don't cry. Shhh." The fighter said trying to comfort the crying woman.
"I'm sorry, Schwartz. I lost my temper back there. Maybe it's best that I go back ...."
Schwartz cut off her sentence before she could finish it and positioned his hand under her chin, bringing her face up where he was looking into her eyes. "Don't be sorry, it wasn't your fault. If you want to return, I can't make you stay, but I'd like it if you'd stay. Besides, I promised Kyoji that I would take care of you and Domon, and I can't do that if you two are on opposite sides of the earth, now can I?"
"I suppose not." She said wiping her wet face. "I just got angry when he put-down Kyoji like that. You were right about him. I think that it would be best if I stay away from him, because I don't want to say anything that I shouldn't."
"I understand." Schwartz said as he tightened his hold on Alyxis. "All will be well as long as Kyoji has your love." Alyxis smiled in approval of his last statement and wiped the tears from her eyes.
"Oh, Schwartz! I want Kyoji back so bad." She cried once again and buried her face in his dark gray and red trench coat. "Promise me something Schwartz?"
"Anything." He said looking down at the sobbing woman with her face still buried in is chest.
"I know that the Dark Gundam is still alive. Promise me that whatever the outcome of this battle that one of you will return to me."
"You bet." Schwartz said with a compassionate voice. Looking down at her, he gently wiped away one of the tears streaming down her cheek and stared deep into her green eyes.
Not knowing what to say, she said the first thing that came to her mind. "If you are going to look at me like that, the least you can do is kiss me." 'Oh... my... god..., what did I just say?! That sounded so stupid, he must really think I'm brainless now.' Before she could think anymore, Schwartz removed his mask and brought his lips to hers. After several seconds he broke free of her. 'Just like Kyoji.' She thought to her self, and she wanted more. So, without further delay she wrapped her arms around Schwartz's neck pulling him closer to her and kissed him again. He lowered her to the floor, covering the upper half of her body with his and continued to return the kiss.
They had been making-out for several minutes when the ringing of Alyxis' cell phone interrupted them. Not wanting this moment to end, Schwartz took the phone from Alyxis' hand before she could answer it and threw it across the hanger. "That was my brother... I really.... needed to.... Talk... to him." She said in-between kisses.
"Sorry." He said kissing her again.
"You're crazy, you know that?" She laughed.
"Yep." He said kissing her once again.
........
"I really need to talk to him!" She said pushing the gundam fighter off of her, and straddling him at the waist. She pinned his arms to the hard concrete floor. "We can finish this later." She said bending down to kiss him once more before coming to her feet. "Ok?"
"Ok."
She looked around to find her phone in pieces, scattered across the floor of the hanger. She shook her head.
"Baka! Now give me your phone, since you ruined mine." Schwartz just lay there, grinning at her. "Don't make me dig for it!"
"Go for it." He said giving her a wicked smile.
'Stubborn, stubborn, stubborn just like Kyoji.' "Fine then! Be a stubborn ass!" she said as she bent down and opened up his coat revealing the impressions of his perfectly muscular body through the black t-shirt he wore. "You don't make things easy do you?" He gave her another wicked smile and tucked his hands behind his head. She ran her hands down his side causing him to squirm. "Ah, so you're ticklish?" With her new information she delved into his sides. This caused him to squirm and roll with laughter even more until she had him on his back. It was there she found it clipped to the back of his pants. "Ah ha! Got it!" She said as she unclipped the phone from his pants. "Thank you." She bent down and kissed him on the back of the neck; this too made him twitch a bit. "Oh, another ticklish spot. Well, I've got what I want, so I think I will be nice."
"You're too much, Alyxis."
"I know." She un-straddled him and began dialing numbers as she walked over to the direction of her shattered phone picking up the pieces as she went along.
