I'll Love You Forever – Chapter 4

I'll Love You Forever – Chapter 4

Purin-chan: I'm currently working on a Zel/Lina fic for Slayers too at this time ^^;. My second kawaiiest couple after Hikaru/Eagle (And Fuu/Ferio after that). I'm also working on all the current fics in process and a Fuu x Ferio only ficcie.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Eagle's heart beat at the same time and rhythm as Hikaru's as their lips gently touched each other's. He was surprised; nothing in the world could have ever helped him predict that something like this would happen, especially just after Lantis's eradication. Still, he believed that Hikaru's heart belonged to Lantis, yet as always, his own told him that he was wrong. And to add to that, it just felt right for both of them the way they were now.

Hikaru released the kiss, only long enough for both to catch their breath, then locked in yet another tight and passionate embrace. Eagle's hand slowly crept its way to her shoulder, then down again to grasp her hand and hold it tightly.

"Damn those gloves of his" Hikaru thought to herself, lightly tugging at the ends of them, indicating she wanted them off. He let go of the kiss in order to remove his gloves, immediately entangling his fingers in Hikaru's after doing so. She pulled him in for another kiss, but was interrupted when something hidden beneath her shirt started glowing. She pulled it out, revealing Lantis's necklace.

The joyful expression that had been on her face disappeared as she held the necklace lovingly in her hand. Her eyes became watery as the feelings she had for him returned all at once.

Eagle frowned. She was almost happy again when Lantis's memory decided to come back. Suddenly, something in his right pocket glowed. He reached down for it, accidentally brushing Hikaru's leg lightly, and took an identical necklace out.

Hikaru looked at it in shock. "Is thathow did you?" She reached out to touch it in order to confirm to herself that it was actually real and not just her imagination playing tricks on her again.

Eagle nodded in response. He then tapped his necklace twice against hers. For a brief moment, there was a brilliant flash of light as the two chains joined together to form one golden necklace. It laid itself in Hikaru's palm.

She looked at Eagle with eyes that were mixed with affection and curiosity. "What just happened?" she asked confused.

He took the necklace from her, holding it gently in his left palm. "This was the original necklace. Lantis had split it into two and had given me one when he was in Autozam. The other had obviously reached you," he replied, turning the mirror over. "Read this."

Hikaru bent over the necklace, straining to make out the tiny letters inscribed in the metal. "May the two hearts who own this necklace become one," she murmured, flipping the necklace over to look into the mirror. She saw her reflectionbut Eagle's

"Eagle!" She bent down in front of him, watching in horror as crimson blood splattered onto the ground. "Daijoubu desu ka?"

"I'm" he paused for a second in order to cough, "I'll be fine" His voice was raspy and soft, making Hikaru worry all the more.

"I'll go get Clef! He must have some kind of medicine that will make you better!" she squeaked. Her voice was high pitched and full of panic as she gave him a quick hug and sped out of the room.

He looked after her as she ran out the door, then fell unconscious.

Purin-chan: Sorry for the long wait! Don't blame me, it's because school started and I didn't have time to write! (In fact I'm doing my math homework right now too x.o;;;) The next chapter will be the last one! It should come out soon now that I actually have free time! (gasp)
