Takiko sat on the hospital bed, waiting for the doc to get back with her results. The drive over to the hospital had been hectic. Limdo let Tomite drive her Ferrari…and he went a little insane with it. The whole way over, Takiko had been trying to hit the brakes, only to find there wasn't a pedal under her foot.

The doctor came back in with the test results. "Well Miss Okuda, it seems that you do have a bit of a concussion. Let's just take it easy for a couple of days before returning to you daily activities, alright?" The doc started to get out a bandage.

Someone knocked on the door. Takiko yelled "COME IN!" before asking if it was cool with the doc. "Hey Takiko." Takara greeted as she walked through the door. Takiko smiled. "Hey Takara."

Takara sat down next to her as the dock cleaned Takiko's cut. "You needed to talk to me before…you know…" Takara started. Takiko tried to remember, which caused her head to hurt a bit, but Takiko ignored it.

"Oh yes, I did. Well, you know Limdo now." Takiko giggled a bit at the look on Takara's face. "Yes he's the insane driver…and the…" she glanced at the doc, who was listening in. "…you know…" Takiko nodded.

"Well, let's just say…I'd been forced to leave him a long time ago. Now he comes back, pretending to be someone else, and when I find out who he is, he doesn't have an explanation. What do I do? I'm not sure if I can trust him anymore." Takiko winced as a small bandage was placed over the cut. (No I am not having some dorky bandage wrapped around her head. Just where the cut is)

Takara thought for a bit before answering. "Do you love him?" she asked. Takiko thought about it. "Yes I do, with all my heart."

"Besides lying about who he was, has he ever done anything truly untrustworthy?" Takara asked again.

"No…" Takiko answered. "Then why are you being so cautious? He's come back to you, he returns your love, and he's gone out of his way to protect you. It sounds to me like you've got a good man. Don't lose him, Takiko." Takara finished. Takiko nodded.

Takara's cell rang. She looked at the caller ID, and her eyes widened. "I-I have to take this call." She stammered, leaving Takiko quickly. "Takara wait—" Takiko got up to follow, but the doc pushed her back. "I told you to get some rest. I really meant it Miss Okuda."

Takiko sighed and sat back down, knowing what she had to do next.

Talk to Limdo.

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Limdo waited in the dark interrogation room. Apparently, Kay had called the FBI, who'd decided they had to interview everybody at the crime scene. He just hoped the girls left out the part of him and Tomite's powers.

The door opened. "It seems you don't have a file, Limdo. Man, you've left me a hard job." Said a familiar voice. Limdo looked up at the tall man. The man was tall, with long blonde hair, ice blue eyes with an eye patch over the right eye.

"Hikitsu?" Limdo's eyes widened. "Long time no see Limdo. Man I haven't seen you since the day you…" Hikitsu started, but Limdo stopped him. "What's done is done. That was the past, and I don't plan on that happening again."

Hikitsu nodded and sat down. "Now why don't you tell me the full story of what happened. I've already interrogated everyone except Takiko and Tomite, he's still getting stitched up."

Limdo nodded and told him the whole story.

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

"So that ingrate Hose failed in his mission to get that WOMAN out of my hair?" A feminine voice growled as she examined the reports. Working for Temdan's company paid off. Before the rest of America knew something, that something would pass through their computers.

A tall woman with mid length black hair, piercing green eyes, slightly tanned skin along with a really nice body stat on top of Hagus's desk, to which he seemed extremely peeved about.

"Kazuza would you get off my desk?!" he asked, trying to hold in his temper. If something happened to this girl, her father would be trying to assassinate every single one of the members of master Temdan's business.

"No I don't think I will." Kazuza smirked down at him, knowing he could do nothing to harm her. He sighed irritably. "I need to finish my work, and at the moment the priestess and her genbu celestial warriors are none of my concern. Plus, its not like they've made an attempt to destroy the company, nor has Limdo tired to take his fathers life…I don't even know if he knows his dad's even here in this era, or any of us for that matter." Hagus finished.

"And I don't care what happened between you guys in that weird book, I just want Takiko out of the picture. Though it WOULD be nice if the others were out of the way so I could get to her…" Kazuza was now debating on evil plans…which usually led to no where unless she was fed ideas. Which he was what probably going to have to do at this very moment.

"Why don't you go to her school?" He asked. She was silent before squealing, "THAT'S A WONDER FULL IDEA HAGUS!!!" he rolled his eyes and tried to find a way to see his computer screen. His attempt was unsuccessful.

Ever since Kazuza had won American idol, she'd been determined to beat everybody in her way to fame and glory. And at the moment, her greatest threat was Takiko Okuda, making her the perfect puppet for the company's plan. Eliminate the priestess and genbu celestial warriors. But at the moment, it wasn't mandatory.

"Hagus enroll me in the high school Takiko's in, and quick! I want to start going to school Monday. Also, send word out to the reporters that I'm attending this public school." Kazuza finally hoped off his desk. She looked out the window. "Takiko Okuda, you've met your match." She whispered.

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Takiko sat in the dark room, waiting for someone to come and take her from the hospital. The doc told her she couldn't leave unless she had an adult take her home, so she'd called Mayra.

Someone knocked on the door, and Takiko, thinking it was Mayra, jumped up to open the door. She was quite wrong. It was Limdo.

He smiled a bit and without asking permission, he pushed past her and walked into the room. She closed the door. The two stood there in silence, not looking at each other.

"Takiko…back at the apartment, when you said…" Limdo started, feeling he had to know what was going through Takiko's mind.

"Yea, I'm still a bit upset about what you've done over the past week…" she couldn't say anymore. Another awkward silence passed between them, both of them waiting for the other to say something. When it was obvious that Takiko wasn't going to say anymore, Limdo said what he needed to say.

"Takiko I'm truly sorry for what I did. I know it was mean, and I didn't think before acting. I guess when I saw you my first reaction was to say I was someone else, just in case you'd already found someone…and apparently you have."

Takiko blushed, knowing he meant Jesse. "No Limdo you have it wrong. Yes, last year I thought about going out with him…but certain events made me hate him. I don't love him; he's just an insane stalker with a case of hoboness." Limdo laughed at what she said. "So you're not going to marry him?" he asked, nervous about her answer. "Why would I marry someone I hate?" she asked. She had a point there.

Another silence passed, before Limdo asked the question he'd been dreading to ask. "Takiko, even if you don't love me still, I'll always love you. Do…do you still feel the same for me?" he turned to her, looking at her straight in the eyes. Takiko smiled. "Yes Limdo, I do still love you."

Limdo's next move was to close the gap between them and kiss her passionately. The kiss sent shivers up Takiko's back, making her want to hold him forever. As they broke away for air, Takiko started to cry in Limdo's shirt. He held her and rocked her back and forth whispering, "It's ok Takiko, I'm here nothing will hurt you…I wont leave you, never again…"

This only made Takiko sob harder. "You mean it? You won't even let Genbu tear you away from me again?" he smiled and kissed her forehead. "Not even Genbu will be able to tear me away from you."

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Takiko leaned against Limdo, who sat on the hospital bed. "I hate this smell" Limdo grumbled, folding his arms. "I don't know of anyone who does." Takiko answered half asleep.

Limdo wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer. "Takiko when is—" he started, but the door banged open.

"TAKIKO OKUDA, I TOLD YOU IN THE BEGINNING YOU NEEDED A BODY GUARD, AND IT TURNS OUT I WAS RIGHT!" Mayra yelled as she stormed up to the two. "Mayra calm down…" Takiko held up her hands.

"CALM DOWN?! CALM DOWN?! DID YOU SERIOUSLY JUST TELL ME, CALM DOWN?! NO I WILL NOT CALM DOWN, NOT UNTIL YOU GET A BODY GUARD…AND WHY ARE YOU IN THE ARMS OF SOME GUY AT A TIME LIKE THIS?!" Mayra didn't recognize Limdo in his male form.

"Mayra this is my boyfriend, Limdo. Its ok, he's not here to kidnap me." Takiko explained calmly.

"Takiko, you and I both know you don't have a boyfriend…WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU HAD A BOYFRIEND!? AND I'M HIREING A BODY GUARD RIGHT THIS SECOND YOUNG LADY!"

Takiko rubbed her temples; all the yelling was making her head hurt. Limdo looked from Takiko to Mayra before standing up.

"Miss Mayra, I know this last incident has been quite hectic, but could you please stop yelling? I'm not sure if you're aware of this yet, but Takiko…got hurt, and your yelling is only making it worse. So please, shut up." Limdo tried to be as nice as possible. Usually he wouldn't have said please, but he didn't feel up to arguing at the moment.

Mayra looked at Takiko. "Now your definitely getting a bodyguard. Nothing you say will talk me out of it." Mayra picked up her cell phone and was about to dial before Limdo stopped her.

"Takiko had a bodyguard already." He informed her. Mayra looked around. "I don't see this so called 'bodyguard'…whatever your name was." Mayra started to press the buttons on her cell. "I meant I am her bodyguard." Limdo said, taking her phone from her.

"I'm sorry, but your Takiko's BOYFRIEND not her bodyguard." Mayra laughed. "Plus, I hardly believe a teenager could protect Takiko." She added.

Takiko stood up. "Actually, if you don't mind I'd like Limdo to be my bodyguard. Yes, he IS my boyfriend…but I trust Limdo with my life. I can't trust a complete stranger to protect me."

Mayra thought for a second. "How will I know your not doing anything to her?" She asked Limdo, which caused Takiko to turn bright red, knowing exactly what Mayra meant.

Before Takiko could protest, however, Limdo saved the day. "Mayra, I would NEVER put Takiko in that situation. We decided long ago that we wouldn't do anything till after we were married." Limdo informed her. Takiko remembered when she and Limdo talked about what they wanted. They had decided it was for the best.

Mayra looked at the two before sighing. "Could I have my cell phone back?" Mayra asked Limdo, who handed it over.

"So does that mean yes?" Takiko asked. Mayra nodded before ordering, "Limdo, you stay with her at all times, which means he's moving into your apartment Takiko…but give him one of the spare rooms! I want Limdo with you at all times Takiko, no exceptions."

The couple smirked at each other before following Mayra to the car.

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Takiko and Limdo stepped out of the elevator and into the apartment. Takiko dragged him into the guest bedroom. "Here's where you can stay." Takiko flicked on the light. The room was big like the other rooms, and it had a small bathroom with a shower in it. it also had its own 62 inch plasma screen TV, without surround sound. But it wasn't as big as the one in the living room.

"If you want, you can get your stuff from your other apartment and move it all in here tomorrow. Apparently I'm not going any where." Takiko rolled her eyes, remembering the doc's strict orders…which he had told Mayra, who had threatened Limdo that if she even stepped out of the apartment, he was dead meat.

"No you aren't, and neither am I. I'll get Tomite to bring it over." He wrapped his arms around her waist again. "Limdo don't make poor Tomite bring all that stuff over here!"

"Ok, I'll get Hikitsu to do the dirty work."

"Hikitsu's here too? Why didn't you tell me?!"

"Because I just found out too! Now will you just go get some rest? Or do I have to force you?"

"But I don't want to…"

Limdo picked Takiko up and headed to her room, the cat at his heals. He kicked open the door, and struggled to keep a hold on the squirming woman. He placed her in her bed and tucked her in. she glared at him.

"Don't give me that look." Limdo ordered. "I don't want to go to bed!" Takiko complained. Limdo only laughed and kissed her. "I swear you're just like a little kid!" he laughed as soon as he was done. Takiko rolled her eyes before closing her them.

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Haha, done! What did you all think? If you guys want, submit story ideas. It'd be cool.
