The Dark Side: Sweet Surrender
A few days later, Yoh yawned as Manta sat down by him on the couch.
"It's pretty late out." he mumbled.
"Very." Manta agreed softly, putting his arm gently around Yoh.
Yoh looked down at his stomach, sighing. "Almost paradise, we're
knocking on Heaven's door, almost paradise, how could we ask for more."
he sang quietly to himself.
Manta looked up at Yoh silently, smiling at the angelic tone of voice
Yoh had that he'd been keeping from him. "I swear that I can see
forever in your eyes, paradise."
"You have a good singing voice." Manta remarked.
"Thanks." Yoh said sheepishly. Looking up to the ceiling, Yoh sighed
as he thought back over everything that had happened since he'd started
going with Manta.
"Something wrong?" Manta asked.
"Nothing's wrong. Just a little sore."
"You sure?"
"Yeah. Positive. My side just kind of hurts."
Looking away from Yoh, Manta sighed and furrowed his eyebrows. "A lot
has happened since we got together. Hasn't it?" he asked, smiling
softly at Yoh.
Nodding silently, Yoh shuddered. "Yeah. We've gone through a lot.
And, uh," He broke off for a moment. "And, I, was wondering. Would
you say we're ready to have a kid? I mean, it's a pretty large
responsibility. I'm barely managing to be up to my full potential as
a Shaman. But being a parent?"
"You're refering to what Ren said to us when we first met him?"
"Yeah."
"You're ready. You're a great Shaman. You're only getting better each
day. Don't worry. You're ready. And I'll be right there by your side
when it comes time."
"Thanks, Manta."
"Why did you ask?"
"I was just wondering."
Manta jumped up onto the couch behind Yoh, sitting down on the top of
the couch. "You sure that's the only reason you asked?" he asked as he
began to gently rub his shoulders.
Yoh leaned back against the couch limply as he cracked a fuzzy smile.
"Mmm that feels so good." he mumbled.
"Well?" Manta pushed on.
"Yeah, that was the only reason. Aside from the fact I just wanted to
hear you talk." Yoh replied as Manta slid his hands lower down Yoh's
back, kissing his ear as he took off Yoh's headphones.
"I want to know something." Manta stated as he released Yoh's ear from
his mouth.
Yoh's oice squeaked as he replied. "What would your, question, be?" he
inquired, shuddering as he felt his shirt slip down one of his
shoulders to the couch over his hand.
"I want you to go to the cemetary with me for a few minutes. It's much
prettier outside than in any buildings, especially in the cemetary."
"Then I'll go."
Minutes later, Manta looked around the cemetary as he and Yoh held
hands, standing in a center of ghosts whom were welcoming them.
"I need to take you away from the spirits for a while." Manta said as
he looked up at Yoh, and he and Yoh started to walk from the ghosts as
they slowly dispersed. (Manta had taken precaution to wear his pair of
extra-large heeled sandles so he would be an inch taller than Yoh; can
you imagine how hard it was for him to stand up after he had put them
on?)
"Okay. I have no problem with being alone with you." Yoh replied, a
small smile tracing his lips.
The two walked on a bit, looking up at the nighttime sky, a soft smile
on their faces.
After a few moments, Manta stopped and indicated for Yoh to do the same
once they had reached the cliff where Manta had first met Yoh while Yoh
was seated on one of the tombstones, the soft moonlight shining down on
the two lovers.
Manta looked to Yoh quietly, turning around so he was face-to-face with
him, looking into his eyes. "Sit down for a minute, Yoh-bunny." he
instructed.
Obediantly, Yoh sat on the tombstone.
Getting onto his knees with a little help from Yoh, Manta looked up at
Yoh, smiling.
"Yoh Asakura," he began. "I love you with all my heart. If you said
jump, I'd ask you how high. If you said jump off a cliff, I'd wonder
about your sanity then do it. It hasn't been but a little while since
we started going together, but I feel like I've known you forever and a
day. You are the world to me. Without you, I'm empty, I'm worse than
dead. I'm lonely. You make me whole. You make me complete."
From behind Yoh, Amidamaru sniffed quietly, wipping a tear from his
eye. 'This is ver sweet.' he said from in the tree with Kaki-Ri and
Yeno.
'That it is.' Kaki-Ri agreed. 'I wondered how long it would take him
to do this.'
Yeno smiled down at the two. 'It took him a little while, yes, but it
is sweet now that he's doing it.' he stated.
"So, I've come to a conclusion." Manta continued, taking Yoh's hand in
his own. "And that conclusion is," He broke off and took a small box
out of his pockets, holding it out to Yoh and opening it, revealing a
ring with a diamond in it, putting it on Yoh's finger as he spoke.
"That I want to be with you forever. Yoh Asakura. Marry me."
A small blush crept onto Yoh's face as his eyes widened a little,
staring down at Manta in surprise. "I will." he managed to stutter in
response.
"Oh, Yo."
Manta put his arms around Yoh's waist as he stood up, hugging him
tightly. He kissed the tip of Yoh's nose gently.
'Congratulations!' Amidamaru, Yeno, and Kaki-Ri all shouted as they let
their presence be known to the two lovers below, startling them a bit.
The two turned to look at their friends, smiling widely as the held
onto each other tightly.
From a fair distance away from the group of five, Ren frowned as he
watched the lovers kiss once again.
"Protecting him is my duty, I'll do it as long as he is alive, though
it may break my heart." Ren mumbled as he walked away, the wind blowing
his hair and the coat he wore back behind him as he looked down to the
ground with a hint of a tear reaching his dark eyes.
