You Get Me
Chapter 7
Yue looked down at Kina as she lay back on the couch, not letting go of his hand. His soft voice whispered, "I will never leave your side, no matter what. If you can't do it, then just wake up but I will always be with you. No matter what."
She fought the tears forming in her eyes, tears of love. Kina reached up and stroked his cheek gently, feeling the velvet of his peach skin. "Hold my hand, don't let go." Her red hair spread out on the pillow as she leaned back and shut her eyes, squeezing his hand tenderly. He leaned down and brushed his lips against her cheek then sat against the couch, never letting go of her hand. Pale crystal moonlight shone through the window casting a sparkling glow to the lover's faces.
~~
It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me, oh no
It's just the nearness of you
~~
Soon Yue was watching Kina peacefully sleep. He was only praying it was peaceful in the dream world that she was now in. He watched the subtle rise and fall of her chest as she took in slow breaths and her cheeks turned a faint rose-like color. He never let go of her hand and he wasn't about to let go now.
1 "Where are you?!" Kina screamed as she looked around, the black goo once again surrounding her.
Yue held onto her hand a bit tighter as he saw her wince in her sleep, "It's ok angel." He brushed a stray strand of hair back off of her face, "Good luck." But another doorbell broke the silence. Yue looked down at his hand clinging to Kina's then up at Hotohori. The chestnut haired bishonen nodded and went to answer the door.
"Hello?" Hotohori's annoyed voice said.
"Hi. Can I give these to Kina?" Max stood there again, holding a packet of notes.
"You again." Shiva rolled her eyes, "What, do you have a crush on Kina or something? Hello!! She's married. Just put her notes in her room, right there." She pointed to an open door.
"Thank you." Max snarled as he stomped into Kina's room, shutting the door behind him.
"What's taking you so long?" Hotohori yelled from the living room.
"I'm leaving." A crooked grin spread across Max's face as he left the house, "Everything's in place."

A sad hello came from behind her. Kina spun around to come face to face with the blue eyes of her father. She began to scream but her face put a hand over her mouth quickly.
"Hush my child." His strong voice muttered, much kinder than that of before. He took his hand off of her mouth as she stared at him, tears filling her eyes.
"Why...?" She managed to mouth.
"I'm sorry if I hurt you, it was the only way I could contact you. I know I haven't been a good father, I never was. And for that, I regret and I have all eternity to pay for my wrong doings. I know it's too late but I'd like to start being your father now. Since I am in hell, the place of evil, I can sense when something bad is going to happen and I want to warn you, as a father should, to be alert and be careful of who you trust. I have watched you grow over so many years and I am so sad to know that I missed out on so much of your life. Please, forgive me. This is all I can do now. I know I failed you as a father, but please, let me be your friend." He spilled out his words, words that held so much truth and feeling in them.
Tears filled Kina's eyes as she tried to find words to say. He had hurt her so much, caused her so much pain, anger, grieve and heart ache. But when he said those words, she wanted to forgive him so much. It seemed so easy and at the same time so hard. Inside her heart, she knew no matter what he did to hurt her it didn't matter to her. She just wanted her father back. And now she had him, for a brief moment. For a moment that would stand still in time forever, in her heart. They say the human heart can work miracles and this was another miracle for Kina.
Kina cried out in her sleep, holding her arms out as tears dropped like crystal rain from her eyes. Yue wrapped his arms around her and murmured sweets words of love in her ear.
~~
It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation, oh no
It's just the nearness of you
~~
"You can't move on without forgiveness, no matter how hard you try. If you keep hating someone forever you will only grow cold and hard. I don't want to be like that. It hurts father, it hurts but I want to be able to love you again, just as I did when I was so little." Kina uttered the words, so hard to say.
"Just to know you loved me once is enough to make my heart smile. I wish so badly that I could go back in time and start over again but I can't. I am so, so sorry for everything that I have done to hurt you. But heed my words, be very careful my darling, I don't want you to get hurt. Keep on smiling and be yourself, that's just the way I love you."
The aqua crystal like warm tears steadily dripped down Kina's cheeks, each one leaving a layer of water on her skin. Such a short conversation and yet it held so much meaning to both of them.
"I needed a father most when I was little. I needed a father." The trembling red head cried harder.
"I know. I know, I'm sorry. But please, let me be your father now. Even if you can only see me in your dreams." He held out his large hand, worn from years of work.
"I'd like that." She whispered as she nodded her head yes. The tears weren't of sorrow though, they where of joy and forgiveness. She was happy to finally have her long lost father back. With this said, the two embraced and the once dark and gloomy world around them disappeared, turning into a world full of light.

2 Yue looked down at Kina; she didn't look too good. He should have warn her that any physical contact would hurt her, no matter how light it felt in the dream world. That was why when her father gripped her shoulder it gave her a bruise. If he were to even tap her, it would give her some kind of injury. Her shrill voice cried out in pain as Yue tightly held onto her, feeling her writhe in his grip. His eyes widened in horror as bruises formed all over her body, every place that in her dream was a simple hug. That was the consequence though and he only prayed Kina would realize it before too much damage was done. He held onto her tightly but gently as he ran his hand through her hair. "It's ok my love."

2.1 When you're in my arms and I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams come true

"Now you must go back to your home. I am so, so proud of you my little girl. You have wonderful friends and a great husband, just be careful. I love you." He placed his hand lightly on her cheek then let it fall limply by his side.
"I love you too dad. Thank you so much." She jumped towards him as his body began to fade away. "Don't go, I have so much more I want to tell you about!!!" She now screamed as he disappeared.
"You can always speak to me through prayer or your dreams. Remember, always keep your chin up and have faith. Have faith in everybody around you and don't be afraid to forgive your enemies. It is the hardest thing to do but without forgiveness, the world would be a terrible place. This I have learned the hard way. Hold onto every moment but don't dwell on the past, live for the moment. Look to the future but don't spend all of your time planning everything out." He frantically said to Kina, trying to teach his daughter the things that took him forever to learn, "Tell the ones you love that you care about them as much as you can. Be careful of what you do but don't be too paranoid and don't let little things ruin a great relationship! I'll always be thinking of you, watching over you. Your mother loves you too. We'll be with you always." He was now gone, only a glimmer of sparkles left in his place.
"D-Don't...go..." She fell to her knees, hugging herself as she cried, trying to envision him again. But he was gone, just as he was so many years ago. And the pain once again returned with the aching in her heart. But the aching was not from part of her heart being torn away, but from part of it returning.
Kina jumped up with her eyes opened wide as she took in deep breaths. Pain shot through her body as she clung onto Yue.
"Shh, it's all over now. It's all right." He gently rubbed her back as she buried her face in his chest.
She sniffed up her tears as she looked into Yue's eyes, the blue sparkling and radiating with joy. She quietly whispered to him, "Yes, it's all right now." And with that said, Yue understood. And once again, she was lost in his arms. In his warm arms, his gentle yet strong embrace. In his arms, she knew everything would be ok. This was her one safe place from the world, where she could go and only feel the emotion of love and happiness. She cherished this moment, taking in everything that she could. The smell of his hair, his soft skin and rumpled clothing, the rise and fall of his chest as he breathed in and out and the tenderness of his voice. The pain and bruises on her body faded away slowly as her body and heart healed. Today, everything was ok. Everything was perfect for that moment. And the world seemed to stand still for the both of them. Nobody thought of the past and nobody thought of what to do next. A soft breeze caressed their skin as the night stars shinned down on them, glittering just for them. The silvery pale moonlight came through the silk curtains and lit up the room as a shooting star streaked across the sky. In the dark, Hotohori reached for Nuriko's hand and held on tightly as Shiva tilted her head to the left, sighing happily.
~~
I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you'll only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night the nearness of you
