Chapter 11

Trouble in Paradise

While they were walking back to Sefilia's house, John's clothes started to get a bit poky and annoying and he started to ease it up.

"What are you doing John?" Sefilia asked.

"I am curling it up a bit. To be honest I don't like clothes like these at all, but today I made an exception. For your sake."

"For my sake?"

"I, as a gentleman couldn't allow that you go in such a nice dress to the king while I stand with my old shabby shreds besides you. That would have been embarrassing, wouldn't it?"

"Not as embarrassing as what happened with the audience." Sefilia said turning them both turned red because they both almost had forgot what had happened.

John cleared his throat and said " ... Yeaahhh right, I'm sorry, I'm getting sentimental."

"It makes no difference to me." Sefilia admitted shyly and got a little redder.

"You're not getting red, are you?" John asked.

Sefilia a bit frightened bit her cheek and answered nervously. "No, no. Why should I? And what about you? How did you feel today ... and yesterday?"

With that she hit a wound of John's because he hadn't told her his feelings for her. He lost his voice and there only came inscrutable words out of his mouth, "I ... yes ... uhm ... you know ..." The stronger he tried to find reasonable words the redder his face turned, Sefilia had to giggle and then laugh, now she knew deep inside her that John liked her too. After a while John gave up and started remained silent.

They now walked back down the street, on which they almost walked on the way to the palace in a fast walk; yet they had more than enough time to talk.

"It looks like you have to disclaim a while for your marking." Sefilia started after a long talking break again. First John looked at her questioningly, then he remembered the conversation he had with her a little while ago, he had to scratch himself on his head.

"Yeah ... It's too bad about that ... The king hopefully will accept me as an inhabitant and the other citizens as well."

"What's that?" Sefilia now mentioned for the first time, the chain of John's adherer which he was wearing around his neck.

"Huh? Ah this. That's just an adherer."

"Don't women normally wear such things?"

"Yes, indeed, but this one is a special one." John admitted.

"What's special about it?" Sefilia asked and became a bit curious and so sounded in her voice.

"In this adherer are pictures of my family, of my father, my mother and my grandmother."

Sefilia hesitated at first. She wanted to see how his parents looked like, but then she remembered what happened when they looked at old pictures the last time.

"You can look at them and I promise not to sentimentalize." He smirked after that assertion a bit again and took off his adherer and gave it to Sefilia.

At first she didn't know how to open it, because the techniques of the humans and the Cerinians were greatly different. But finally she found a small clip which held the three parts of the adherer together and opened it. It was already dark so she had to stand under a lantern to identify the people on the pictures. They were round pictures, cut fitting to the border of the adherer. On the first picture she saw a brown haired man in an uniform, who's face got crossed by a large scar, but he smiled heartily despite it.

"That's my father."

"Yes, you got his hair and exactly the same haircut like him." They both had to smile a bit. On the next picture she saw a woman with blonde, long hair, she smiled as well. It was an older picture, but John didn't care about that, "And you got her eyes."

Now she turned it over. There was another woman on the picture, but she clearly looked a lot older than his mother and her face was wrinkled. Sefilia was sure that she saw a small smile under the all the folds.

"My mother always told me that I got my kindness from her, but I'm not so sure about that."

She looked full of expectation at where the last picture should be, but it was empty.

"What about this place here?"

"Well, I didn't had any picture or photo of Ethan, that's why I decided to let this place empty ... up to now."

Sefilia now looked at him. "What do you mean 'up to now'?"

"I thought if you maybe allow me to take a picture of you I'd you inside of it."

"Of me?" Sefilia gasped, pointed with her finger to herself and couldn't believe it.

"If you don't want than ... "

"No, no, I would love to, it just surprised me a bit that you want to place a picture of me into the adherer of your family. You quasi-ingested me as a member of the family." she said going slightly pink. "Rather than a very good friend."

"Thanks Sefilia."

"I have to thank you; you made my life livable again." She got full on red again and without knowing what she did, she kissed John on his cheek, causing him to blush bright red.

"Here.", she gave him the adherer again to distract him of what she just did.

"What ... ? Oh, yes, thank you." He said bashfully and put the adherer around his neck and tucked it under his clothes.

"Come on." Sefilia said and without warning Sefilia started to run and let the dumbfounded John stand there. Her blue hair and her bushy tail waved harmoniously in the wind and he looked after her until she disappeared in the dark. He just had to handle the things which just happened, until he noticed that Sefilia wasn't with him anymore.

"Hey, wait!" He shouted and he ran as fast as his wound allowed him after her. At this point of time John didn't know that he and Sefilia were being watched from one of the roofs of the houses which surrounded them.

Sefilia of course reached the house first. She was completely out of breath and sweating a bit but won the race. She went inside, but let the door open for John, because he was sure to need a while. It slowly cooled down and she sure would have caught a cold if she had waited for him outside in her thin and airy dress. After that she decided to change. John was right; her clothes had slowly became really uncomfortable. She went into her room and closed the door so that John didn't burst accidently into her room at the wrong time.

"I know that he... he likes me, but what would the others would think of such a relationship?" She thought aloud and just watched herself in her underwear in the high mirror in her room.

"That Sefilia ..." John thought while he was walking slowly back to Sefilia's house again. He chuckled and shook his head a bit "... one second you think you've gotten her figured out and then she kisses me without warning on the cheek and disappears then."

He touched the place with his free hand where her lips touched him the first time. It was no dream ... it was real! Someone liked him like he was; even the fact that he looked completely different didn't bother her. John was really lucky that he found his salvation. He smiled and chuckled a bit silently.

His happy mood however found an abrupt end when he walked past a dark alley. John was totally sunken in his happy thoughts and didn't notice that he was being watched and that his spectator slowly crept out of the dark alley into his direction. When John had passed the narrow street, a dark shadow shot from out of nowhere. John became dazed and he collapsed allowing the stalker to drag him back into the alley.

The poison didn't last long and he quickly came back to consciousness.

"What the hell!" John said but before he was able to recuperate, a violent kick hit his chest causing the air to rush out of his lungs and stopped his cursing. He had to breathe hard to get air again in his lungs. But before he was able to talk again he looked up and realized his situation. He sat on a stone cold ground, his hands were handcuffed behind his back and he wasn't alone.

In front of him stood a person that was about the same size as him, the person was hooded and his tail was hidden under his clothes but that didn't made a difference to John because he barely knew people apart on Cerinia. John was more surprised than frightened; he didn't expect getting robbed on his second evening on a new planet, in a new city.

"What do you wan-" John said before he was kicked again in the chest, but this time his stalker answered. "Leave her alone." The voice said in a dark and unsympathetic tone.

"What!"

This time he punched John into his face which started bleeding immediately. "You shall leave her alone."

John again had to gasp for breath, but he also wanted to answer his attacker. "Who? Krystal? Sorry, but she is way too young for me and not at all my type." John said then spit the blood from his nose which had collected in his mouth.

Now the hooded person gripped John with one hand at his throat, pulled him up the height of his own face and pressed him hard against the wall so that he barely ran out of breath. He came so close with his face to John that he almost saw his eyes under his hood, "You shall leave Sefilia alone. She is better off without you... human."

John became enraged because he guessed who was under the mask. First he coughed the blood out of his airway before saying. "I understand ... You are one of her old adorers... One of those bastards, who just wanted to take an advantage of her to get closer to her brother... That bastard, who doesn't find it necessary to take care of his own sister, when she needed him most! And you don't even have the courage to say it directly to my face without your mask." John again had to cough and person let off him so that he quickly sank to the ground.

"That's my last warning human... steer clear of Sefilia, or you're dead!" he again drew the needle with which he dazed John with, out of his sleeve and jabbed it into his jugular. John again lost conscious and awoke shortly after that besides the alley where he got assaulted. He found his rake lying next to him. He slowly stood up and put his rake under his arm again and slowly went away from the alleyway and went to the middle of the street.

"What the Hell was wrong with that guy?" John thought as he now again went in the direction of Sefilia's house. "One thing is sure that guy had been watching us. Better I don't tell her what happened, she just will be worrying for nothing and probably calling the police or something like that. Ah, there it is. I was already thinking I was lost."

When he closed up, he saw that Sefilia let the door open, "She must be changing at the moment. Hmmm... I should do that to else his shirt will kill me."

Sefilia had totally forgot the time and all at once heard the closing of the front-door, "That has to be John! And I'm still standing here in my underwear!" She said and took a fast gaze into her shelf and rummaged dark orange trousers and a bright orange shirt out of it and took them fast on. She slipped into her sandals and went to the entry hall to greet John.

"What happened to you!" Sefilia asked slightly aroused and hysterical, when she saw that his new outfit was covered in dirt and that his nose was bleeding.

"I... um..." John said and quickly though up an excuse, "Yes? I'm listening!", "I slipped off and landed on my nose, when I tried to catch up with you.", he told her lies.

'Hopefully she believes that.' he thought and then he became worried, when he remembered that she could read minds. He started to sweat.

"Really?" Sefilia blurted out. Secretly she tried to read his mind, but everything she saw was herself and she couldn't make out any of the rest because he was too disarranged. "Then go ahead into the bathroom and clean yourself." Sefilia sighed. "I'll go and get something for your nose."

She really believed him! He again thought how much luck he had, while he was watching her going into the kitchen. He did as he was ordered and went into the bathroom on the second floor, while walking he held with his free hand his nose so that he didn't get any blood on the clean ground.

'Phew, almost thought that she figured it out but she shouldn't be told yet. Not now, when everything is going right for her again.' He thought, while he was agonizing himself up the stairs with his face and his stomach still hurting.

At the same time Sefilia was looking for an ice bag in the kitchen, which she could give to John. 'I think he lied to me. When he really fell on his nose, why did he have dirt on his butt? And at least he wasn't drunk. He, as a fighter, should react to that and should at least fight with his hands... He is hiding something from me... I'll risk a look later. Ah, there it is...' she thought when finally she found a small ice bag, which was frozen solid in the freezer of her fridge.

She hurried, because the ice bag was very cold and already started to melt in the warm air of her house.

John was just about to clean his dirty face, when Sefilia stepped into the bath, "Take the ice bag. It's cold, but at least it'll help your wounds." She said and handed him the small ice bag which he took it gratefully.

He was still leaning against the wash-bowl and watched his blood dripping onto the white chinaware. He immediately put the ice bag onto his still, slightly bleeding nose and cringed a bit because of the sudden cold.

Sefilia had to giggle. "I warned you that it is cold. Just keep it on till the bleeding stops. While you're doing that I'll go and get your other clothes so that you can change."

"Thanks, they should still be on the bed if our friends didn't fool around with them." John said smiled a bit with his somewhat pale lips.

" I'll be right back." Sefilia said before she left the room again and went into John's. She slowly went in without turning on the light switch and saw that the Bafomdads had curled themselves up to a small plushy huddle on a pillow. She then saw that everything was lying in its right place. As John had said; his clothes were laid on the bed and they were only a bit creased.

Back in the bathroom the vixen laid Johns clothes on the edge of the bathtub and wanted to take a look at John's nose. It just wasn't bleeding and that made the process easier.

"I don't know much about your body, but it doesn't look like it is broken." Sefilia observed.

"I doesn't feel broken either." John affirmed. "And how do our friend doing?" He asked.

"Good, they are sleeping right now so be quiet and be careful that you won't wake them up." Sefilia warned him.

John nodded "I will be careful; don't worry." He paused a second, "I don't want to cause any inconvenience, but..."

"But?" She assumed and hopped secretly that he would tell her now the truth about what really happened.

"Do you have some fruits here? I got a bit hungry, because off all the commotion tonight." He said and scratched abashedly the back of his head.

"Well... Yeah, no problem. I have more than enough fruits inside the house, but I can also cook you something if you want."

"Don't bother yourself; fruits are more than enough at the moment."

"Then change your clothes and just throw the dirty ones into the basket. They'll get washed with my other clothes tomorrow. As long as you do I'll go and bring the fruits into the living room."

John nodded in thanks and she answered with a friendly smile and shortly closed her eyes while doing so, and without another word she left the room.

He removed his uncomfortable, dirty, bloody and sweaty clothes and threw them, as he was told into the basket to the rest of her dirty clothes. Now he only wore his underpants and started freeze and a bit to shiver because the bath wasn't properly heated at the moment.

"At least he is ok." Sefilia thought while she was preparing some fruits for John and herself. "I'll just prepare different fruits. There sure will be something he likes." she put different kinds of fruits on a plate. After she was totally sure that John would get enough, she took a second plate and prepared something for herself. But she wasn't that hungry and only brought some grapes with her. She went with both plates into the living room, put them on the desk and waited for John.

John changed as fast as he could, he didn't want Sefilia to wait for him. He went with a speedy walking pace back to Sefilia's living room where she already ate some of her grapes, "That has to be my serving than... ", John hinted at the plate with the several kinds of fruits, "That's right; I wasn't so hungry and just got some grapes for myself."

They sat down besides each other on a couch and ate their fruits in silence.

Sefilia freed them after a while of that quietness. "What will you do, if the king assigns you to the military?" John choked on that sudden and surprisingly question. When he ended with coughing he answered her.

"Well, I sure would have to train with them and to go on missions with them... But don't worry, as soon as my term or my trainings is over, I will come back here. I'll probably smell repulsive, but that shouldn't bother you after I took a shower." despite his cheery talk Sefilia seemed to be a bit bummed out and similar to a cat's ears, hers laid down sadly at her head.

"I also could say that I don't want to join the military, that would indeed sound a bit flakey because I said I would do everything...", but Sefilia interrupted him.

"It's all right, they don't train often and not very long. They also don't go too far away because either they live there or Sabre wants them to do some extra training."

"Because they are not good enough?" John asked.

"Yeah."

"No problem, I'm not thaaat bad in fighting. I'll show your brother that I'm no battle fodder." He said and just had to smirk a bit keenly.

"Don't overdo yourself, or else you'll be in my praxis again." She warned him sternly yet anxiously.

"I'll be careful." He said and smirked once more at an attempt to calm Sefilia. John almost cleared his plate. "Phew... I'm full, that was an overkill."

"And how did it taste?" Sefilia asked curiously.

"It was delicious, sweat, sour, balmy and even spicy. The perfect dessert!"

"I'm pleased to hear that." Sefilia said as she put on a happy smile and her eyes sparkled with happiness. Sefilia began to yawn long and in copious amounts.

"I think it's about time to go to sleep." John concluded.

"Yeah, I think so too." Sefilia said as she reached for one of the two plates.

"Wait, I want to help you cleaning up at least." John said and grasped with his free hand at the dishes.

As he closed his hand realized he didn't hold one of the dishes in his light grip, but something soft, warm and furry. Sefilias Hand. They both looked dreamily into each other's eyes, both rested for a while in this condition of absent mindedness and again turned red, until John was finally released out of that trance similar in circumstance.

"Sorry..." He said and let go of Sefilia's Hand and grabbed for the dishes which laid under.

"No problem." She answered, embarrassment clear in her tone and facial features.

They again went back into the kitchen and put the dishes into the utility sink. Sefilia demanded to clean the dishes and so John used the time. While Sefilia wasn't watching he took a long knife with is sheath out of a drawer and hid it in his sleeve. In front of Sefilia he pretended as if he wasn't doing anything.

They both left the kitchen and went up the main stairs up to the first floor till the end where they stopped. "Good night Sefilia."

"Good night John, and remember that your friends are still sleeping."

John just turned around when Sefilia suddenly went to him, hugged him fast and then disappeared in her room.

John became confused again. He knew that she liked him but she hadn't said the three critical words yet.

He scratched himself a bit at his chin and thought. "The guys normally say that... I should tell her, but... it's still very... early... for something like that. There will be a time but… not yet."

He went back into the guest room, opened and closed the door and silently, not to wake his friends he slowly laid himself onto the bed besides his friends which still made a huddle. John fetched the knife out of his sleeve and hid it under his pillow because he knew one thing, "He will come back, maybe even tonight. And when he's here I will be ready."

John covered himself with the blanket and slowly fell asleep.

Sefilia sat on her bed and waited a while, until she was sure that John was sound asleep.

While she was waiting she looked at a picture off her mother and her father, which stood on her bed table, where only they were on. It was taken after the first days of their marriage. The blue vixen and the grey fox on it hugged each other and they both had warm smiles.

Sefilia also smiled a bit. "Since you've been gone my life was grey and sad... But I have to tell you, this chapter is over now! I'm happy again and I've fallen in love! He is no Cerinian, he is a stranger from another world, and he doesn't even have fur! But you always told me it doesn't depend on the look, but on the heart. And he owns this heart. He went through a hard time. He was totally alone most of his life but he didn't gave up. He takes care of others without concern for himself and that's why I look up to him. He also can be really kind and a bit funny... I also have the feeling that he likes me too. And I also think that heaven smiles upon he both off us. He is accompanied by three Bafomdads!

I am sure he is the right one. After so many letdowns I feel that he is something special. Wish us luck and send us Sabre home soon."

She concentrated herself on him and his thoughts and searched for the point, where she left John. Cerinians couldn't only read thoughts which were just thought, they also could awaken memories which were saved in the subconscious of the other. She heard how he thought and what he thought about her. Now she knew that he loved her.

She was jubilant and could barely believe it and let the memory continue. After a minute she saw what happened. He got attacked by someone, dragged into an alleyway and got beaten up. Again she heard his thoughts. He was worried about her and that filled her even more with hope and joy.

That feeling however was disturbed by the voice's sound of his attacker. She knew that voice, she now knew who he was and she also now knew that he was still tacking care off her. But she also was angry at him and also sad that he didn't allowed this to happen.

Sefilia sniveled a bit, because she now knew that John would give his life that so that she could be happy.

"Why did he keep that a secret from me? And why does 'he' suddenly start looking after me again, after he let me alone for so long?"

She cried and ignored the following memories and she didn't know a thing what John had planned. But before she could continue to think of this question, she fell asleep and a last tear ran down her cheek and drenched her soft, white pillow….

It was middle of the night when John felt that he and the Bafomdads weren't alone. He drew with the reflexes of a cat with his left hand the knife under his pillow and pulled it out of his sheath and smashed with his right hand against the light switch so that the Bafomdads awoke.

The room brightened up.

"I was waiting for you and I'm ready." John said scowled at the person. He stood in front of the wide opened balcony window and held a dagger in his hands.

The Bafomdads jumped of the bed in fear and cowered in the next best corner of the room and they were afraid of their own safety.

"I told you that I will kill you if you didn't leave her alone." He made his first try and stabbed John, but John parried the attack with the kitchen knife so that the dagger hit the bed post and got jammed.

When the attacker recognized that he wasn't able to free that dagger yielded it to the counter attack of John and drew a second dagger from his belt. This time John did it without his rake, because it would have only gotten in his way.

"This time it will have another end!" John assessed.

"Indeed human... this time you will die!" his enemy countered.

They walked in a circle, like two wolves, which where only waiting for the right moment to strike. They both dashed at each other at the same time. Their meeting was accompanied by the clashing of metal.

John knew that he tried to kill him, but he himself would have preferred to find out who he was and best thing would have been that he was alive, to ask him some questions after his defeat.

"What do you want from Sefilia?" The person asked in a short fighting break before the knives were hitting against each other again.

"I want to help her... I want to help her to find happiness in living again." John growled.

Again the blades of the knives met and now both opponents went over to a fencing duel.

The attacker stabbed at John's chest, but John parried it and blocked it to the side so that he was able to start his own attack at the unarmed arm off his enemy. John hit him, but only caused a scratch on the arm of his enemy and not too strong a wound. He again went back to a counter attack. He hauled off and ripped with his dagger a big hole in the cupboard John stood in front off before he dodged him.

"And what do you want from her?" John asked his attacker in another break.

"I protect her from guys like you." The attacker said before he again attacked John and once again a duel, they both of them got cuts on their arms until they again dispersed. In their encounter they had almost overthrown every single piece of furniture in the room.

"Guys like me? What kind of guy do you think I am?"

"You are nothing like the others, you denunciated at our last meeting. You just want to abuse her to be welcome on Cerinia."

Sefilia woke up from her rest because she had heard noises, loud noises, but she wasn't sure if she just had dreamed it or not. Suddenly she heard the shattering of glass and she knew it was no dream. She threw her dressing gown over and went out of her room to assess the source of the noise. It came out of John's room.

She ran as fast as she could because she remembered John's memories and now trembled with worry about John's she reached his room she stopped. She heard a voice talking, John's voice.

"There you're wrong! I act because of other reasons, you will never understand. I want to be with Sefilia, because... because I love her! And someone like you won't separate me off her!" John shouted.

Sefilia didn't believe what she just heard. He said the three important words she wished of him. Those words made it official. He loved her and she loved him and nothing could change that. She wanted nothing more than to just get in the room and kiss him.

"Hah... love... " Another voice said in a disdaining sound which ripped Sefilia out of her dream and she again began to tremble for John. "Sure I know what it means to love Sefilia, because... ", he didn't end his sentence; instead fight noises were again being made. She knew she had to do something. She grabbed for the door knob and pushed the door open.

"STOP IT!"

Both off the fighters stopped their action and looked at the angst-ridden vixen. She was close to tears.

"Stop it at once, both of you!" She screamed

"Sefilia?" John gasped and was surprised and distracted and that allowed the attacker to attack him again. John mentioned the attack too late. John wasn't able to stop him, only slow him down. The blade off the dagger slid about two inches into John's chest into the direction off his heart, before it stood still.

John let out a cry of pain. Sefilia burst into tears, horror covered her face as the tears trickled down her cheeks and dripped on the floor like John's blood.

John collected the last of his strength. His opponent thought he had won and that gave John the perfect advantage. With his right hand, with which he prevented the dagger to penetrate his chest any more, he pushed the dagger slowly out of his chest and rammed with his left hand his weapon fully into the upper arm of the enemy and cut a several centimeters wide and several centimeters deep wound into it. His enemy let out a cry of pain and let go of his weapon which just fell on the ground. John also pulled his weapon out of the wound of the enemy and also just let it fall on the ground.

Without hesitating any longer the attacker looked at Sefilia, saw her horror-stricken face and the tear streaming eyes. After that he fled. He ran outside on the balcony and jumped into the darkness off the night. Not a moment later, Sefilia went to John, grasped his left arm, dragged him to his bed and let him down softly on it.

"Please don't move. I'll get my bandages and the salvia and then I will take care of you." Sefilia said, tears still were flowing down her cheeks and were now dripping onto John's face.

When finally the Bafomdads noticed that the danger was gone, they jumped on John's bed aside their hurt friend and looked whimpering in fear at his wound.

"Don't worry, the wound isn't deep... " He said as he coughed a bit blood in his palm "I'll make it." He said putting on a fake smile, which only made Sefilia cry more. She was really afraid for her truelove.

She hastily left the room, without noticing that she stepped into John's blood and it now tracked on her feet throughout the whole house. She ran into her bedroom which also was her workroom, gripped her suitcase, where all bandages and resources were inside she needed in such a moment and right after she ran back to John, still in her dressing gown and still making bloody footprints on the ground.

While Sefilia had left the room he had to think. He sat himself up to make it more comfortable for him. It hurt badly but that was it worth he thought. Did she know his enemy? Probably, because she seemed to know the person under the hood. And how much did she hear until she intervened? Did she know that he loved her? In that moment so many question shot through his head that he barely noticed that Sefilia was in the room again and pushed him again onto the bed.

"I told you not to move... And now please take off your shirt."

"W-What!" John exclaimed.

"I want to check your wound and for that you have to take your shirt off." Sefilia said and blushed a bit when she said that despite the severity of the situation, because she also was curious about how John looked under his clothes.

He slowly stripped off his blood drenched shirt and exposed his still a bit tanned body and the muscles on it. He indeed trained in the past, but just because of that he wasn't a brawny battle machine.

Sefilia could clearly see muscle rudiments and further trained muscles and couldn't resist to caress them with her hands.

John noticed the excitement, with that she touched his upper body and let it be for a while, until he had to cough knee-jerk, because again blood went into his air tube. That again ripped Sefilia out of her excitement and she started to study Johns wound.

The Bafomdads carefully watched what Sefilia did, even if they didn't understand what was going on.

First she went with a scanner over Johns wound, "It isn't deep. No organs should be harmed."

She put the scanner aside and picked a wet sponge and salvia out of her bag, "This will burn a bit." she warned John. First she sponged up the blood covering the wound and then she pressed the slightly green salvia on John's wound. He gave a slightly painful bristle off himself.

For John it didn't burn a bit, it was more like she was tending him with a cigarette lighter.

"S-Sorry." She stuttered when she saw his reaction.

"Never mind! If it wouldn't hurt it wouldn't work and I would be dead already... hah! Look." John started again.

"What John?" He wanted to distract her a bit so she wouldn't worry so much about him.

"You made everything dirty." John pointed out. Sefilia now saw that she displaced the blood in the whole room and she was shocked "I won't clean that up and that's for sure." John said and he gave her a hearty smile, which she returned. "And sorry about the mirror."

"Don't worry about it...", she giggled and John again answered her with a warm smile. Sefilia then asked John to sit up a bit so that she could unwind a bandage around his chest. While he did that she didn't miss out on the moving of his abs and she did her best not to stare at them.

She wrapped a thick, wide, white bandage tight around his chest to prohibit the loss of any more blood. Then she pushed a pillow under his head and again wanted him to lie down. Again a feeling burned inside her that wanted her to show him that she loved him too.

Just in the moment when John touched the pillow with his neck, Sefilia bowed down and pushed her lips tenderly on his. They kissed.

John couldn't and didn't want to break this moment and let it just happen. He felt like he was on cloud nine on the way into heaven, kissed by a blue foxy-angle. Feelings flooded through him, feelings of love and felicity. He now knew that she was the right one. He wanted to spend the rest of his life with her, and no one would separate them from each other.

Tears of joy went into his eyes, just like Sefilia, because she felt the same like John and she read his mind what made her even happier. After a while they removed their lips from each other. The kiss appeared both like an eternity, an eternity in the paradise of love.

She slowly reached for the blanket and pulled it up to his shoulders and whispered quietly in his ear.

"I love you too John." She kissed him once more on his cheek and while she went out of the room in full happiness, she noticed a small gadget John apparently lost in the fight. She didn't want to bother him now with her questions and just pouched the thing and silently closed the door.

John noticed when Sefilia left the door that they were all the time watched by the Bafomdads, but he didn't care, because he was happy. He spent the last minutes of his wake being with his friends in silence. He just smiled and just hopped that he wasn't just dreaming.

Sefilia walked in the Bathroom to clean her feet, because John was right, the blood stuck to her feet and had the same effect like a stamp. She left on her whole walk red footprints behind.

"That John..." She thought while she was drying her feet. "He always has to act like everything would be all right." She giggled a bit. "At least I told him what I feel." And she smiled again. She finished drying her feet and then she went herself into her room and fell asleep soft and happy.

First, for all the ones who still like it, thank you.

The second part is not that good. I'll need some time to translate the next chapter. School just tries to kill me with work for important tests... again -.-

Third, bit better now ^^ xXSanitariumXx reminded me of a planned story for you.

Yeah, you heard right 'Star Fox meets VGCats' will come next! It won't be that long, only about 1 or 2 chaps, but I try my best (Warning it will contain humor, violence, stupidness, pervy stuff, cats, and some kind of randomness (also rbs: random-bull-shit... at least I try so ^^). For all the ones who don't know VGC, I'll post some links on my profile as soon as it is out. I guess you will need some input, to understand the characters and their characteristics. It's just a bit sad, that 'A War and a Decision' will fall back a bit, because I would have to write on 4 stories at the same time...

Fourth and the more traditional part. Translated with the help of Zane Cross, so if you find any mistakes, blame him (^^ joke).

Second translation by XxSanitariumxX. By the way, he will continue with the Beta reading.
