"Do you have to go Kai?" she asked, her dark blue eyes filling with tears.
Kai tucked her hair behind her ear with one hand, and pulled her closer with the other arm he had snaked around her waist.
"Please don't cry," Kai pleaded with her. "We cannot allow His Divine Shadow to destroy us."
"Let someone else go!" she said angrily, tears now streaming down her cheeks. She flung her arms around Kai's neck, laid her head on his chest, and still crying, whispered "I don't want anything to happen to you."
"Don't worry about me. We will destroy His Divine Shadow and be back in no time." Kai lifted her head up and looked into her blue eyes again. "I love you," he whispered softly, and released her, turning towards his one-man ship.
"Kai!" she cried, holding his hand tightly in hers. "Wait!"
Kai turned back towards her with one eyebrow lifted.
She brushed the hair hanging down out of his face and pressed her lips against his. Then she wrapped her arms around Kai's neck again and hugged him tightly, whispering "For good luck," as she released him.

Kai blinked several times until the bright light cleared. For a moment he wondered what they'd blown up before he realized it was His Divine Shadow that'd blown something up, and that something was his planet.
*Kira* he thought, fighting back tears. *This is for you!* he thought bitterly a second later, yelling out the order to crash into His Divine Shadow's vessel.
