Chapter 8:
"Hey, guys, I'm going to step outside, I need a little fresh air for a minute." I said to everyone. I stood up and was about to leave but Hiiro stopped me.
"I'll go with you, you never know what could happen."
"I can take care of myself, but if you have to come, then come on." I said reluctantly. I had wanted to go outside to think, but I guess I would have to think with company. When I got outside, I took a seat on the wooden bench and sighed.
"What's on your mind?" Hiiro said, I rolled my head on my hand to the left to look at him.
"Lots." I replied.
"Like?"
"Um..." I didn't want to say, so I didn't. 'He's not dense, so I know that he knew the song was what I wanted to tell him earlier. But I just have a feeling that he doesn't feel the same way. Just because that look. I just wish time would stop so I could talk to my mother again. She would know what to do.' I thought, never realizing that with the full moon, making a wish while I possessed the Ginzuishou would make it come true. So...time stopped.
"Oh, Lily." My mother said, appearing before me.
I looked up, "Mother!" I exclaimed, launching myself into her arms.
"Honey, just go with what is in your heart, not your head." She counseled. "If you truly love this boy, then go for it. He is cute." I smiled up at my mother, the Queen and nodded.
"I will, but what if he doesn't feel the same? That look he was giving me after the song... it made me unsure about what I did." I said.
"Lily, you know as well as I what that look was saying. Just follow your heart, it has gotten you this far in life, and it will take you even farther." She faded away and I sat back on the bench and time resumed.
'Thank you, Mother.' I thought with a smile. I closed my eyes and leaned my head back. Hiiro remained silent while I thought about what my mother had said. 'Follow my heart. I think I will, but I don' t think it is to lady like to just lean over and kiss him.' I thought with a little laugh.
"What's so funny?" Hiiro asked, I seemed to be hearing that question a lot tonight.
"Just a thought." I replied. That was true, it was just a thought.
"Wanna share it?" He asked.
"Sure. My mother, the Queen, told me something just now. She said that I should follow my heart. But I didn't think it would be very lady like..." I trailed off, not sure if I should finish my sentence.
"What's so un-lady like about following your heart?" Hiiro asked.
'Oops, that's not what I meant.' I thought, "no... I didn't think it would be very lady like to do this." I said, I leaned over and kiss him gently on the lips, then leaned back and looked up at the stars. I could tell from his lack of speech that he was either shocked or confused at me.

Chapter 9:
"Did you mean it?" He asked, now it was my turn to be confused.
"Mean what?" I asked, looking at him with confusion written all over my features.
"The song."
My face cleared itself of confusion and I blushed. Not being able to find my voice I just nodded.

Back inside...
"They've been out there for awhile. I think I'm going to check on them." Duo said starting to get up but Minako pulled him back down and whispered into his ear...
"If you even try to go and check on them, I will personally beat you to a pulp. Unless you're blind, you will have noticed that they like each other." Everyone laughed as Duo got a scared look on his face and remained seated.
*********
Back outside...
Hiiro didn't say anything after I had nodded and I didn't either. I was scared that he wouldn't want to be near me anymore. I lowered my head from the sky and looked down with closed eyes, 'Mother, I followed my heart, but something just doesn't seem right...' I thought. I was so caught up in my thoughts that I didn't notice Hiiro had scooted closer to me so that he was right by my side until he lifted up my head.
"What's wrong?" He asked, wiping the tears that wanted to just flow freely.
"N-Nothing." I stuttered. He gave me that look that he had been giving me since we were kids when I lied.
"What?" He asked again.
"Um...it's nothing... really." I replied.
"Liar." He said with a slight smile.
"Shut up." I growled.
"No. I won't shut up." He said, I looked at him again, with a smile tugging on the edges of my mouth. I rolled my eyes and looked away from him.
"You wouldn't understand, Hiiro." I muttered.
I felt him lean over and he whispered in my ear, "why not? I think I do, Lily." He said and continued, "Aishiteru."
I gasped and looked back at him, searching his eyes to see if he was lying to me. When I could find no hint of a lie I smiled. "Aishiteru, Hiiro." I replied. He leaned over and kissed me, all his love pouring into it. I kissed him back, never again doubting what my heart was telling me.

The End. Sigh I'm not that great at sappy endings, but hey, it was good...right? :) Well, please review! Bye-bye!
