You Get Me

Chapter 22

Her footsteps quietly echoed through the house as Yue supported her up gently. A joyful smile spread across her face as she put a cozy blanket around Nuriko and Hotohori.

"I'm sorry I scared you both so much." The red head gave each of the bishonen a peck on their cheek.

Everything was a blur but the scenery began to melt together in front of him. And then she was there.

"KINA!! OH MY GOSH!!!!!" Nuriko flew up, knocking both the blanket and Hotohori onto the floor, "I was so scared!!!!!" He squealed with joy as he tackled her into a tight embrace. Tears of relief poured down Nuriko's face. He didn't need to ask how she made it back to them, it didn't matter. All that mattered to him was that she was back and safe.

"I'm so sorry! But I promised to save you, I couldn't stand to see you being hurt like that." She whispered back to Nuriko as Hotohori pulled himself off the ground. His jaw dropped. Soon tears ran down Hotohori's face also.

"Kina!!" Hotohori yelled as he jumped up in shock. And with that the two let Hotohori join in on the group hug. "I w-was so worried!!!"

"I missed you guys, I love you so much!" She held onto them tighter. Her eyes shifted to Yue who was standing their grinning like crazy, watching her.

A cheesy smile spread across her face as the three ran over to him, pulling him into the giant hug. And then they all toppled onto the couch.

A gentle breeze cooled her skin as Yue took her hand, helping her out of the car. The snow had melted strangely and the sky had cleared, warming the town up happily.

"Where are we?" Kina questioned. She had no idea for a red cloth was tied around her eyes, preventing any possible sight. The familiar scent of apple blossoms filled the air mixed with other sweet fragrances as tranquil golden sunlight caressed her face with tender strokes.

"You'll see." She heard Yue's gentle yet strong voice reply. Kina gripped onto his hand as he led her through the grass. At least she thought it was grass but she couldn't be too sure. "Careful." He caught her as she began to trip. "We're almost there."

He stopped, causing her to bump into him.

~~

So I'm a little left of center

I'm a little out of tune

Some say I'm paranormal

So I just bend their spoon

Who wants to be ordinary

In a crazy, mixed-up world

I don't care what they're saying

As long as I'm your girl

~~

"Ok, here we are." He untied the blindfold.

"Oh, my gosh Yue!!" Kina spun around as she looked at her serene surroundings. It was where he had proposed to her, that day so long ago in the hospital garden. The green grass tickled her feet as a tall apple tree towered above her along with cherry blossoms, roses, lilies, daisies, pansies and thousands of other varieties of flowers. She turned and faced Yue, her eyes shining with happiness.

"You lost this too." He grabbed onto her hand and brought her closer to him. Out of his pocket he produced a silver chain with a key on it. Her necklace.

"I didn't even realize!!" Her hands went to her throat as she discovered one of her favorite most cherished items missing from her neck.

A chuckle escaped Yue's lips as he hooked it around her neck, "But the heart is missing." He frowned.

"That's ok, you already have my heart." She leaned up, kissing him affectionately. His cheeks blushed a crimson red but Kina didn't notice. He wrapped his arms around her, spinning her in a circle as she laughed joyfully.

After her placed her down she looked around and began to notice more of the beauty that surrounded her. She paused by an immense bush of white snowball flowers. Kina gently pulled one off and tucked it behind her ear, "I love these, they look so innocent."

Yue blinked, "How can a flower look innocent?" He questioned.

Kina shrugged, "I don't know. They just do. And roses look arrogant and the rhododendron looks untidy as if she had just climbed out of bed and hadn't bothered to brush her hair. And the pansies look embarrassed as if they wished you wouldn't notice them." She shot a quick glance at Yue from under her lashes, expecting him to be thinking she was crazy. He looked utterly amazed.

~~

Hey, you are on my side

And they, they just roll their eyes

You get me

When nobody understands

You come and take the chance, baby

You get me

You look inside my wild mind

Never knowing what you'll find

And still you want me all the time

Yeah, you do

Yeah, you get me

~~

"You really are strange." He laughed, "Such a wild imagination." Yue stepped closer to her.

"Imagination is one form of intelligence you know!" She retorted, grinning.

"Then you are very smart. And I never said that there was anything wrong with being what some would consider strange or having a wild imagination. That's one thing I love about you. You don't care what others think." He then pulled her into his arms carefully.

"I love you Yue." She snuggled in closer against him. Out of the corner of her eye she saw something sparkle near the colossal apple tree. Kina broke away slowly and made her way towards the glittering object. After a minute of digging through the grass, she produced a small silver heart. "It's my heart!" Kina jumped up in shock.

"But how did it end up here?" Yue blinked in bewilderment.

"Some things don't need answers. They are just how they are. They just happen." Kina unhooked her necklace and slide the heart charm back on then hooked it around her neck once again as she tried to explain what she meant. "Sometimes things happen and they can't be explained but I believe that they are meant to happen, no matter how horrible or great. Everything that happens in life is meant to make us stronger, make our hearts stronger and our love stronger. We make the choices which have unlimited possiblies."

"I understand." Yue wrapped his arm around her as the two sat under the cool shade of a tree. Out of nowhere Yue produced a basket full of food.

"You are too good to me." Kina laughed as they both began to spread out a blanket and set the food down to eat.

~~

So what if I see the sunshine

In the pouring rain

Some people think I'm crazy

But you say it's okay

You've seen my secret garden

Where all of my flowers grow

In my imagination

Anything goes

I, I am all you want

They, they just read me wrong

"So what happened to Max?" Kina questioned Zion as they walked home from school. Kina knew she should be stopping her schooling soon, it was almost time for the baby to come. She only had a few more tests to take and if she passed, then she got her diploma.

"I heard that some weird unexplained incident happened to him and he couldn't remember a thing about himself. They took him off to a group home somewhere north of here. They're going to work with him for a little bit, help him accept his amnesia and slowly he's just going to return to society I guess." Her blue haired friend explained. "Where are we going?" She just now noticed they weren't walking in the direction of home.

Kina just smirked then turned a corner where she saw Yue, "You're on time!" She ran up and embraced him.

"Will somebody explain this to me?!" Zion stamped her foot.

"Just be quiet and follow us!" Kina giggled, "It's a surprise ok!" Soon they neared a house outside of town.

"Go knock on the door, we'll be right here." Kina and Yue stepped back near the fence surrounding the house.

Zion angrily grumbled but did what they requested, "Fine!!" She raised her hand into the air, knocking on the door swiftly three times.

"Yo, hello!" A tall man pulled open the door. He had black hair and a bit of stubble on his chin. He was wearing a pair of black sunglasses and a suit.

"Oh. My Gosh, Kina I'm going to kill you!!" Zion mumbled under her breath as she turned to leave, cursing herself.

~~

You get me

When nobody understands

You come and hold my hand, baby

You get me

You look inside my wild mind

Never knowing what you'll find

Still you want me all the time

Yeah, you do

'Cause you get me

Hey, you are on my side

They, they just roll their eyes

Yeah, yeah, yeah

~~



"Zion!! Wow!! It's been forever! Y-you look great..." The man lunged forward, grabbing her arm and pulling her back slightly. "Seems like you just crashed down from heaven." Nicholas D. Wolfwood gave her a grin.

Zion turned around, blushing at even hearing his old voice. Oh how she had missed him. But he couldn't and never would love her. She knew this harsh fact, at least she thought she did. "I know, I-I've missed you a lot too. I...um...didn't mean to show up here...um...I've got to go..."

"Wait a minute, we haven't talked for so long! I've missed you a lot too." He pulled off his sunglasses to reveal a pair of sparkling silvery blue eyes.

"I've got to be going now..." She avoided looking into his eyes. She knew she would plummet if she did. If Zion took one glance at those twinkling eyes she knew she wouldn't be able to forget him again, she wouldn't be able to get him out of her mind.

"No! Wait, stay for a while. I've been thinking about my life and since you've left things have changed a lot....Why don't you come on in and have something to eat and we can chat?" He stammered. Things had changed a lot since they had stopped speaking or contacting each other. And he missed her. A lot. And that's when he realized, he needed her. They had known each other forever, known each other inside and out. And he realized she was much more than a friend to him now. And by some chance of fate, she was here on his doorstep, out of the blue. And Nicholas couldn't let her go again, not this time.

"S-sure..." Zion looked up into his eyes, she couldn't help it. She could feel her heart race and her body melt instantly. A giant smile broke across her face as she blushed.

The door shut behind Zion as Kina turned to look at Yue, her face shining. Tears threatened to spill down her cheeks as her mouth formed into a huge grin, "It's a start..." She whispered to Yue.

"Yes, it's a start." He tenderly put his arm around her as they both walked away from the house.

~~

'Cause you get me

When nobody understands

You come and take the chance, baby

You get me

When none of the pieces fit

You make sense of it

You get me

You look inside my wild mind

Never knowing what you'll find

And still I want you all the time

Yeah, I do

'Cause you get me

Yeah, oh, yeah, oh





Yet Another Story...

And the door swung open...to reveal a tall man with wings and long white hair.

Kina: OH MY GOSH, YUE, YOU'RE CHEATING ON ME WITH KINA?!

Yue: No smart one! I'm right here!

Zion: Did I forget to tell you Kina, I'm in love with a Yue too?

Kina: YUE! YOU KNOW YOU LOVE ME MORE THAN HER!

Yue: BUT THAT'S NOT MEEEE!!!

Large explosions are heard
