The Bishonen of February
Chapter 22
Nuriko tiredly rubbed his forehead as he glanced at the pale girl stretched out on the hospital bed. A strong hand rested on Nuriko's shoulder as it calmly reassured the bishonen that everything would be ok.
"Thanks Hotohori." He looked at the chestnut haired man then turned back to the girl, "When do you think she'll wake up?"
"I don't know." Mistukake replied from across the room.
"Any sign of Yue?" Shiva questioned Chichiri as he entered the room.
"Nope, no da." He replied sadly then sat down next to Mistukake.
"He thought she was dead, like most of us did and he freaked out." Hotohori muttered.
"I can't believe it worked though. Her heart was healed, but from all the power she used it caused her to go into a coma." Arashi walked into the room with cups of pudding for everybody.
"I...I...It...w..worked?" A weak voice murmured from the bed as Kina's head weakly turned towards Arashi.
"Kina! You're awake!" Nuriko happily jumped up and sat by her bedside, "We where so worried! How are you feeling?" He hugged her gently.
"Tired but ok." She smiled at her dear friend. It had worked. It had actually worked! She was ok! Now she could finally complete the number one thing to do on her list, marry her love and have kids! She blushed at this thought then her head looked around for Yue, "Where's Yue?"
"He...he left." Hotohori ruefully informed her.
"Yeah, well it is March 1st, February is over." Her heart hurt from the loss of her love after all that they had been through. She looked around the table and began to panic, "Where's my winning bottle cap???"
"Right here, the hospital attendants almost threw it away but I saved it
for you." Shiva handed Kina the cap.
"Thanks!"
"You get some rest, we'll be outside." Shiva smiled at her friend then pushed everyone out of the room, "If you want some fresh air there's a garden out back."
"Thanks Shiva." Kina smirked.

"Stupid hospital gowns!" Kina attempted to keep the back of her gown closed so she didn't moon any poor passer-by. It had been three days since she had attempted the Celestial Star Wave and she spent most of the time inside asleep eating hospital Jell-O. Finally the nurse had let her go out into the gardens. She carefully stepped into the garden as white and pink cherry blossoms peacefully floated towards the ground in a tranquil serenity. She stopped under a large oak tree and Kina sat down, spreading out a blanket.
"I miss you Yue." She muttered under her breath as she produced a sandwich from her bag. Kina's ears twitched as she heard a faint meowing noise coming from behind her.
~~
Let's do lots of happy things and fun things together. Linked hand in hand Exchanging promises When you're lonely, when you're hurting Don't face your sorrow alone. Know that I'll always be there with you, without fail. Strength is a very important thing, But you need tears too. With a parched, dried-up heart, You can't do anything at all; You can't feel a thing. Tell me, why do people Hide what they really feel inside? Take what you can do, what you want to do, One step at a time. I love the way you don't care
~~
"Where'd you guys come from?" Kina picked up Tama and Neko as she looked around. "I wonder if Yue will ever come back. I know February is over but I wish he had never left!" She told the kittens who meowed in response. She felt the bottle cap poking her side in her pocket. A large apple flew down at Kina, nailing her in her head.
"OW!" Kina jumped up, looking around while rubbing her head. A white haired bishonen looked down at her from his perch high up in a tree. He turned his head away when suddenly the same apple hit his head.
"What?" He yelled in shock, falling down from the tree but the large pearly wings on his back helped ease his fall.
"It's rude to throw things at people!" Kina glared up at person who was hidden in the shadows of the tree.
~~
I would follow you anywhere. I will never, ever, let go of you. I love this excitement I can honestly believe in this power I see. Let's kiss. Let's hold each other. Let's feel each other's warmth We don't need words We can feel the love We were born to meet, Crossing over a very long time. Now more than ever, The excitement spinning through my heart Can't be stopped by anyone.
~~
"Look whose talking!" Yue grinned as he stepped out into the light.
"Yue....? You....you...didn't leave!" Kina leapt towards him and wrapped her arms around him.
"I love you Yue." Their lips brushed softly then Yue let go of her gently, leaning down on one knee.
"I love you too Kina. I thought you where dead and I was so scare of what could have happened to you so I ran away only to discover I could never leave you. I've only known you for a month and yet it seems like I've known you forever. As I once heard someone say, we've got now and that's all anyone has. So will you spend now and forever with me? Kina, will you marry me?" He produced a gold band with a tiny diamond on the center.
"Yes!" She flung her arms around him again as he slid the ring onto her finger. Yue stood up, picking Kina into the air and he began to swing her around in a circle then he sat her back on her feet. For once in his life, Yue finally felt complete. It was like half of him had been missing and he had just been reunited with it. Yue was happy, entirely and utterly happy.
A soft wind caused her hair to fly around her face as Yue pushed some of it back, and then a voice from the wind that sounded like her mothers whispered, "When you get a winner, you can extend the time limit...a little bit. Life is precious, so cherish each moment." Her grin widened as tears brimmed on her eyes, tears of pure joy and happiness.
~~
Tell me, why don't people realize their true feelings? Even though the things they like, the people they love Are all that matters. If we cover up our feelings, or pretend we don't see Nothing will change, So let's live openly, frankly, honestly Our eyes looking far to the future. Tell me, why do people hide what they really feel inside? Take what you can do, what you want to do, One step at a time. I love the way you don't care How you have been programmed to live I would follow you anywhere. I will never, ever, let go of you.
