You Get Me

Chapter 5

"So everything is coming along fine?" Yue asked the doctor.

"Yes! Everything's perfect. Here are some pamphlets to help you both." The grinning doctor handed them some papers before scooting them out the door.

"Thank you!" Kina waved as they left.

"How are you feeling?" Yue took Kina's hand as they walked down the hospital steps.

"Good." She smiled at him lovingly. "And you?"

"Great. Because I have you." He winked at her. "What's that?" He pointed at a red cut on her ankle. He had just noticed it because today she was wearing a sundress.

"Oh, I, um, got a cut in gym class." Kina lied. She hated to lie to him but she didn't want to worry him. She knew it was wrong but she thought she had no choice. Changing the subject quickly, she asked, "Where are you going?" She was very confused. Yue was walking towards the parking lot, but they didn't have a car. "The sidewalk is this way." Kina pointed to the cement pathway.

"No." Yue tugged her forward gently. He pulled out a car key and hit a button, making a silver Mitsubishi in front of them unlock.

Kina dropped her purse, "Oh. My. GOSH!!" She lunged at Yue, wrapping her arms around him and hugging him tightly.

"All ours, I've been saving up. Surprise!" Yue said between laughs.

"You're the greatest!!!" Kina kissed him passionately, taking him by surprise.

"Thanks." He blushed as he opened the car door for her to get in.

"No, thank you!!" She sat in the leather seat, running her hand in awe over the armrest.

~~

You make me smile when I'm here beside you

Having fun whenever I'm around you

Nothing can keep us, keep us apart

I'm happy in love, so happy in love!

~~

"Wait- I don't know how to drive. Do you?" Kina looked over at Yue as he started the car, the engine purring.

"That's why I got this." He pulled out a driver's license. "I've been studying and I passed! And I know you can too!"

"Yeah, right!" Kina burst out laughing, "If I ever get my license, then everybody should stay off the sidewalk!"

Yue chuckled, "Have faith, I know you could do it if you set your mind to it."

Kina smiled tenderly, "Thanks." And once again, she got that feeling that she was flying above the clouds. Her heart raced more than 10,000 times per second she imagined.

~~

Above the clouds, across the highest mountain

You lift me up as long as we're together

Nothing can keep us, keep us apart

I'm happy in love, so happy in love!

~~

Memories raced through her mind as they sped down the freeway, the window open so the fresh air caressed her hair.

"Yue....I-I...love you..." She looked up at the white haired bishonen as the words tumbled out of her mouth. They left the two both in shock; she couldn't believe what she had just said. But it was true, wasn't it? He had been there for her when her world was crashing down.

Yue raised his eyes to the sky to prevent his tears from spilling out. To his horror, they started to surface after Kina had told him that she loved him.

"Don't be afraid to cry around me. I was afraid to tell you about the negative part of me. If you don't tell me about your negative side, what will end up happening to you?"

"You're right, we both need to be more honest with each other."

"Then can I ask you a question? Is it strange that we're together? I mean, since you are a bishonen?" She asked him.

"No. No, it's not. Even if the whole world says it's strange, it's not." He brushed back a stray hair and tucked it safely behind her ear. "I love you, Kina." He whispered the words to her tenderly as if they would break if he spoke them too loud. Yue can't stop weeping because he loved her more perfectly than he had ever loved anybody before. He would exchange his life for hers, take his beating heart from his chest to save her, if she needed to be saved. There is the road and the grass and the sky and the sun that has risen and that day that has been made just for them. He held her and he loves her now and forever.

~~

Now I know for sure I'll give myself to you, oh in the arms of...

Happy in love - Oh boy, I think I'm falling

Happy, happy, happy in love

Happy in love - Oh boy, my heart is calling

Happy, happy, happy in love – I'm so in love!

~~

The memory left her tingling. What he had said then, that's what enabled her to put up with all the rumors at school and all the empty threats.

Yue's eyes smiled as he looked over at Kina, "I'm glad you're happy and because when you're happy, I am too."

"Don't base your happiness on me." Kina blushed crimson as she looked at him. He was trying to concentrate on the road.

"But if you're ever unhappy, it would make me sad too. I want you to be happy always and I want to be the one to make you smile."

"Same goes for you." It was now his turn to blush. Her blues eyes sparkled with happiness and love as all the confusions of the day slipped out of her mind.

~~

You make me sweat, you almost give me fever

And this romance will always be forever

Nothing can keep us, keep us apart

I'm happy in love, so happy in love!

Now I know for sure I'll give myself to you, oh in the arms of...

Oh, you're making me happy (happy in love)

Yes, you're making me happy (happy)

Oh, you're making me happy (happy in love)

Oh boy, I'm think I'm falling...

Happy, happy, happy in love - I'm so in love!

~~

Yue brushed back a piece of stray red hair and tucked it behind Kina's ear gently as she slept.

"No...not this again." Kina muttered as she opened her eyes. All around her was black goo. It was the same dream.

"Beware." The same hissing voice screeched.

"WHO ARE YOU?! BEWARE OF WHAT??!!" Kina screamed furiously. She was just plain sick and tired of these dreams.

"Beware of what lies ahead!! Trust no one!! NO ONE!!!!!" The voice hissed.

Kina felt a shadow approaching from behind her. "Who are you?" She held her breath as she told herself she was brave and that she could do it. Then she spun around to look at the person speaking to her.

She took in a sharp gasp. Vaguely, she could make out the shadowed image of a man cloaked in white garments. His black hair stood out from his cloths.

A loud scream caused Yue to slam on the breaks. He jerked forward but his seatbelt stopped him from slamming into the steering wheel. Tears streamed down Kina's face as she sobbed, sweat covering her as her skin paled and she trembled.

"It was him...It was him..." She muttered in between sobs, her voice broken with emotion. Her body shook as she rocked back and forth in the leather seat.

Yue pulled over on the side of the road quickly. "Kina!! It's ok!! It's all ok! What happened?" He ran out of the car then opened the passenger door, sitting next to her. He quickly wrapped his strong, warm arms around her and held her close against his chest.

"It was him...him..." She repeated as she cried harder.

"It's ok...shhh..." Yue tried to comfort her even though he was in utter confusion.

"It was him..." She said again.

"Who?" He asked gently.

"Him!!!" She cried.

"Let's get you home." Yue got into the driver's side and started the car up. He had to get her to someone, Nuriko, Hotohori, anyone. It didn't look like she was about to tell him who it was and this wasn't the right place any ways. All he knew was that something was wrong, terribly wrong. He had never seen Kina like this, even when she had a bad dream. This was something worse. Much worse.
