Allen stayed by Midnight's side for three days straight. Only leaving her side for a few things. He held within his hands the blue lotus flower. For some reason it was warm, but to Allen on those cold nights, it was nice to feel something like that. Once in awhile Lenalee would check up on him, other times it would be Komui. Komui told Allen what happen to Leon as Allen asked,
"Does she know? That letter you got from him...?"
"It's hinted that he told her but I can't say that she know for sure... she nearly died saving Kanda... tonight there pulling the plug."
"What?! They can't!"
"I'm sorry Allen... but if she doesn't wake up in the next three hours... is over..." Komui looked down at the lotus and touched it softly.
"From Kanda?" Allen looked surprised but nodded no less.
"It seems that Kanda already saw this coming..." With that he turned and left Allen pondering about what Komui was getting at. Soon one hour past, two hours, finally when it was about a minute before it was time... Allen started to cry thinking up all the times her and Leon spend together. He placed Kanda lotus on her heart and stood as the doctors came in and turned away not able to watch what might happen next. As the nurse checked her out one last time, she let out a small scream.
"What's going on?!" Allen asked turn back around quickly as he saw Midnight's eyes opened. Her heart beating faster then before. All the color returning to her face as that smile couldn't stop Allen's tears. He glomped her with a large hug as she hugged him back.
"Are you okay? How you feel...?"
"Better... Atem saved me..."
"You can say that... you wouldn't take my soul so I guess your own will was able wake up finally." Everyone looked at Atem with shocked eyes, as a smirk played on his lips.
"Maybe..., but I believe there's another reason."
"Oh?" Atem asked, "And what might that be?"
"I can still feel everyone heart, lifting me higher and higher... from there I knew... I couldn't give up. But, the lotus did bring back my strength. So I thank you."
"No problem... I shall see you at home." He hugged her and she hugged him back as she whispered in his ear,
"If my heart didn't be long to someone else... I would be your soul mate..." That made Atem smiled softly, as he whisper,
"I'm flattered." He brushed her hair behind her ears. "Get better soon. I'll see you when you return home..." He kissed her forehead then left.
"W-what was that about?" Allen asked, confused.
"Nothing, just I finally realize that my adventure here is almost over."
Many month pasted as many things happened, for one Allen left the order after they held him on the count of letting Kanda go, then we have me who slowly has been getting used to my new weapon, I can now at least preform a healing attack but that it... Komui to get me out of the order sent me along with Lenalee and Maire on a mission. Lenalee was still upset about Allen leaving the order, for I was unable to take her crying any longer, I offered to go get us something to eat. Probably a good trade of for, I don't get to hear her sobs nor do I want to start crying.
It took me a minute to get food but I finally did walking back Lenalee and Marie were talking to someone. I was to far away to see. Then I walking over I called,
"Hey! Guys! I got the food-!?" I gasp, stopping my steps as they turned to me as I saw Kanda. But, but, but...!?
"You stupid bastard... why did you come back...?" Marie called look upset, "You had... already finally become free..."
"Wait... no 'welcome back' for me...?" Kanda joked smiling a bit. I nearly dropped the food, as his eyes turned to me. "Do you mind if we talk for a minute?"
"I guess... why not..." I grabbed my small cherry pie as I handed Lenalee the bag and made my way over to him and out of site of Lenalee and Marie. Taking a big bite of my pie I asked once I swallowed,
"Well why did you come back? You were free, you had-?!" He took my pie, and finished it. His eyes having that heavy glaze, it made me uncomfortable... I've never seen that type of look... I honestly can't tell you what type of energy or emotion it had. "I thought that you didn't like sweets."
"I don't... but I can make a expection..." He slammed one hand on the wall next my head I was able to dodge. My body felt small compared to his, my heart was beating loud against my chest. "Kanda, what are you doing what about Alma-" He slammed his other hand next to my head as I switch it away so I wouldn't get hit. I've never left so corner,
"I've made up my mind... and I love you." My face flushed out of shock but anger as well,
"Don't give me that-" He kissed me stopping my words cold.
"Don't deny me, your heart belong to me as mine is to yours." His lips whispered against my own. Leaning in close he kissed me again, his body pressed against mine and my back was against the wall. He slipped his tongue threw my slightly parted lips as I could taste the pie on his tongue as his ran it self against mine.
A soft moan left my lips. My body was so over whelmed with this pleasure I couldn't stop shaking. Before my legs could buckle under me, Kanda picked me up as I wrapped my legs around his waist, his hand on my lips. I quickly wrapped my arm around his neck, my hands linger ever so slightly on his back and loose ponytail. His lips left mine as his kisses trailed down to my neck, soft licks and nibbles motions let soft gasp and moans leave my throat. His hips grind against me as I dark moan left my lips. My breathing was all over the place, my body broke out in a cold sweat, my body wanted more, I wanted more.
The way he nibbled on the base of my neck, sucking so hard it got a sharp gasp and my eyes rolled back. I felt my nails digging into his jacket, nearly ripping holes... before I could say or do anything he pulled back and carefully set me on my feet.
"We should be heading back." He buttoned up my jacket covering the large hickey he placed on my neck. Another blushed appeared on my cheeks. He smiled every so softly before together we headed back. We didn't hold hands or anything like that but my heart swelled up with joy. I knew now that once again we felt whole.
I was ready for bed, my hair was down, I put on this nightgown Lenalee brought for me yet for some reason... I couldn't stare in the mirror long enough to finish my hair. I was still sad about Leon leaving, the thought always left my eyes watery if not I was left in thick clear color tears. A soft knock on the door interrupted my thoughts, getting up I walked to the door.
"Who is it?" I asked as I opened the door slightly to see Kanda. Blushing, I knew I shouldn't have worn this short thing!
"May I come in?"
"Sure." I said, opening the door turning to grab my jacket since I didn't have a house coat. I heard the door close as I was able to put on my jacket. Kanda was still dressed but his eyes looked far away... if lost in thought. I sat on the bed as I asked,
"What's up?" Kanda didn't really say anything as he took off his jacket and hung it up then his shirt. "Kanda what-!?" Putting one finger to my lips he softly said,
"Sshh... you have to be quiet if you want me to stay." I was blushing a bright red then as I turned away but nodded. He was sly by taking off my jacket then softly pushed me against the bed as he climbed on top of me.
"Kanda!?" I said it a loud whisper my voice breaking as he softly kissed my fading hickey.
"Do you mind if I sleep with you tonight?"
"N-no, I don't mind..." I stuttered softly as he pulled back as I let out a soft sigh. He allowed me to get into bed first as he climbed in with me. I don't think he mean any harm as I turned to face his, rest my chest on his chest. My right hand tracing over his tattoo as I heard his soft heart beat.
"Tomorrow... I'm going to find Allen..."
"To say thank you?" I asked as he kissed my hair.
"Yes."
"Yu Kanda saying thank you to Allen Walker... I've never thought I see the day."
"Don't get the wrong idea." He snapped, glaring at me as my eyes glanced up to see his annoyed face. "I still hate him."
"Even so... your heart... it's growing warm..." I muttered falling asleep as I heard him say,
"Um... it seems I have you to thank for that..."
In the morning, Kanda was still there. His eyes opened softly to the light shinning within Midnight's room. She slept next to him, yet she was so warm, like a blanket warmer. Her soft expression in her sleep state made Midnight look so young like an eleven year old. Kanda found it cute. He softly kissed her lips and muttered against them,
"Good bye... I have a felling we wouldn't see each other for a long while..." His brushed her warm cheek with the back of his hand... "I love you Midnight Elric..." Being quiet and careful, he put back on his shirt and jacket and left going back to his room to quickly leave and meet up with Johnny.
I woke alone... but I could still feel his touch. I got ready for the day quickly as I left my room - I ran into Komui.
"Ah! Sorry!"
"It's fine... but I'm afraid it's time for you to go home..."
"Oh... I see..." Then out of the blue, Komui started laughing.
"What's so funny?!" I asked upset.
"Your hair..."
"Don't worry!" Lenalee said, "I'll fix it!" Pulling me back into my room not only did she help me pack but she helped me with my hair, it look just like my hair when I first came here.
"Lenalee... thanks..." I told her tears flowed down my face.
"No problem... I'll miss you..." We gave each other tight hugs as we left. My suitcase in my hand.
"Here is your mission... I'm sure that you'll able to complete it skillfully."
"Of course. Thank you both... everyone for everything." With that I left and head back to Rome odd enough. It didn't take very long but long enough for the sun to start setting.
"Hey! Long time so seek!"
"Beth! Hey!"
"Are you ready for your clothes?"
"Honestly, I forgot about them but sure." Smiling she lead be back to her house as she quickly dug out the clean clothes.
"Mom washed them."
"I see." I put them in my suitcase and rubbed her head. "Thank you. I hope one day, we meet again."
"Same to you! Bye!" I left waving and heading toward the border, I saw the blue portal open up, tears came from my eyes. I took a couple steps back and calmed down. Then counting down from three is when I would run...
"Three... two... ONE!" Then like a sonic boom I rushed into the portal, my mind when hazel, soon everything when blank.
That's it for this chapter! Come back soon!
