Chapter 8

There is a soft windy breeze as two figures are standing in front of the other. Hikaru Hasama casually walks up towards Ryuga. Her violet eyes full of sincerity. "Ryuga," She said stopping in her tracks. "I falsely misjudged you as being a tyrant. I was arrogant and stubborn-minded." She lowers her eyes from looking into his eyes. "I even didn't want to believe that you could have some goodness in you."

Ryuga closes his eyes annoyed with her nonsense ranting. "Are you finished, girl?"

Hikaru gasps lifting her head up to look at him in shock. The soft wind plays with her cerulean hair.

"I have important business to attend to, you know. I don't have time for nonsense confessions." He told her bluntly as he turns his back to her. "I don't really care what people think of me. I'm the Dragon Emperor. I stand alone."

"Wait." Hikaru shouts running up behind him.

Ryuga doesn't move as he feels her trembling hands grip the sides of his black shirt. She lowers her forehead down on his back against his white jacket.

"Please wait." Hikaru pleads, squeezing her grip on his shirt more firmly. "I'm really sorry that I always called you a tyrant. That was before I found out that you had to deal with being in complete utter darkness."

Ryuga doesn't answer as he silently listens to her.

"The time we spent together… It has slowly changed my formal personal point-of-view on you to a complete comprehension of who you really are." Hikaru pauses licking her lips anxiously. "I've come to admire you for your own free-will."

"Whatever. I heard enough nonsense to last me a life time." He said bluntly walking away from her.

"Ryuga, it's the truth. My feelings are sincere and honest." Hikaru shouts desperately as she lowers her head down to hide her tears that slowly fall from her eyes and slidedown her cheeks. "I'm really sorry for always jumping to conclusions and always misjudging you. I truly am."

There are footsteps sounds coming closer to her. Hikaru opens her violet eyes to see his footwear. Slowly she lifts up her head to see Ryuga standing in front of her.

Ryuga's golden gaze softens to a shimmering glow as he looks down at the tearful stained girl. He cups Hikaru's chin in his sturdy left hand and he tilts her face upwards to share an intense eye contact. "Why are you so annoying to me, girl? You made me do something foolish, again." He said bluntly as he pulls her chin closer to him.

Hikaru's lips quiver feeling the warmth of his breath touch her wet lips. It is a mixture of a chilling sensation and excitement bliss for her. She silently watches him lean forward to her.

As their lips finally connect in an affectionate kiss, Ryuga and Hikaru close their eyes simultaneously.

Ryuga trails his right hand behind her back and his left hand on her hip just underneath her alluring curves that he is eager to explore later.

Hikaru trails her fingers to rest on his muscular abdomen that she is equally eager to explore later.

THE END...

AN: I thought it was a nice ending for a Ryuga/Hikaru story. I tried to keep them both in character as they have hardly any screen time in the anime. Besides, I really enjoyed making this a Ryuga/Hikaru story even though I included Dynamis/Hikaru & Tsubasa/Hikaru. I have achieved my short-term goal in writing a story about Ryuga/Hikaru. Sorry for the shortness of chapters as I had a lack of ideas and had to keep the events going.
