Author's Note! I don't own Rayearth, k? hehhe. But anyway, if you decide to read this (please please please?) Enjoy! Review too!
The eight high school students chatted and talked until it
was late afternoon. Umi, Presea, and Eagle went home afterwards, Emeraude and
Zagato took an afternoon stroll, Sierra and Innova stayed at the food court, and
Lantis went to the gym.
So far, Emeraude and Zagato's stroll has been pretty
quiet. It wasn't an awkward silence. Well, not that awkward anyway. The two
fencing captains of Jonan High just walked on quietly until Zagato spoke.
"So did you really want to see me?" he said trying to
keep his voice neutral.
Emeraude looked at his face. It was just so gorgeous. His
eyes were a beautiful shade of gray that looked more violet… "Yeah," she
said shyly, "I did…"
Zagato smiled. This girl beside him, the most beautiful
girl he'd ever met, gazed shyly into his eyes. "How come…" he hesitated,
"how come you always seem to be avoiding me?"
The young maiden with long golden hair just had to
turn away. "Well…I…" Emeraude began, "I just had to get away…"
"Why?" Zagato asked, his voice no longer as neutral as
it once was. A chill went through both, a feeling…a connection. It was
intense. So intense that neither of them spoke for an eternity of silence.
"Well…um…" Emeraude tried to talk. It was hard. How
do you explain to this really cute guy how you feel about him? How can you
express it in words? And above all, how do you start?
"What?" Zagato smiled teasingly, "Are you afraid to
tell me?"
Emeraude turned around to face him, a snowball in her hand.
She threw it at him and it handed straight on his face. Emeraude grinned. "If
you really want to know why, you gotta catch me first."
The dazzling blonde ran from Zagato as he chased her.
"Hey, that wasn't fair! You got a head start," Zagato yelled after her.
After some running, Zagato had finally caught up to
Emeraude and got a hold of her waist. Unfortunately, their balance wasn't as
well as Zagato's luck. They both fell into the deep snow and Emeraude landed
right on top of her co-captain. "I guess you caught--'
Her sentence was cut short. Zagato had leaned to towards
her and not a second later did he kiss her. It was so intense. His lips were
warm…a fantasy. She's been dreaming about this moment for so long… It's
warmth made Emeraude tingle all over the place. How can I possibly be so warm
when I'm covered with snow? She asked herself.
As Zagato pulled away, he gazed into her eyes. "I love
you, Emeraude…"he said making his co-captain's heart stop and at the same
time, beat so many times that it didn't seem possible. "I love you…"
Suddenly, Zagato's eyes widened as he realized what he
had just told the girl of his dreams. What had he done? Didn't he promise he
would wait until he was sure? The desire to kiss her was too strong…did she
love him back?
Before these thoughts bothered him any longer. She leaned toward him and kissed him. "I know what you're thinking," Emeraude said, "Did that answer your question?"
