I am sooooo sorry for taking so long, first my mom's computer just died so I couldn't get on the internet (mine doesn't have it), then I couldn't get on cause of some virus and my mom wouldn't risk it killing her other computer. Then my hard drive went and also died so I have had a very bad experience with computers right now. Please review, also please read Fallen (written by me) and review cause it has been up as long as this story but no ones reviewed, I feel like I'm going to start crying. Don't own Rayearth, oh yeah please don't hate me for this pairing!!



Lafarga took deep, shuddering breaths, not knowing exactly what to think. He was still getting over Caldina; he could not be falling in love with Hikaru because she loved Lantis. A frown settled on his face, well everyone thought that they loved each other but Lantis has not been seen in a year and Hikaru never talked about him, maybe something had happened? Na, Hikaru loved Lantis too much and it was the same the other way around. He looked over at Hikaru, who was sleeping quite peacefully, oblivious to the turmoil the man besides her was in. Lafarga got up, and left the room the check the damage the monsters had done.

Later that night Lafarga was in a clearing not far from the village, waiting for Hikaru to wake up.

"Hey Lafarga!"

He turned around, to see a happy Hikaru. He let out a small smile, speak of the angel.

"So you're up, you were knocked out cold."

Hikaru blushed, grinning sheepishly.

"I got distracted."

Lafarga only shook his head.

"I thought you were taught better."

Hikaru only smiled, and took a seat under a willow tree, introduced to Cephiro a long time ago, the branches obscuring her from sight. Hikaru beckoned to Lafarga, and he also took a seat.

"So. What's wrong between you and Caldina?"

Lafarga could only stare at her; she got right at the point.

"Nothings wrong"

Hikaru looked at him and glared, which surprised him greatly.

"Don't pull that, I am not blind or stupid. I hate when people lie to me cause they feel they have to protect me, remember I am older than I look. I am not some naïve little girl people have to keep safe, I can handle whatever you dish out."

Lafarga gazed down at this tiny girl with new respect, not a girl, a mature woman.

"Caldina left me." was all he said.

"Why?"

Lafarga gave a small laugh.

"I don't know, she just left. Telling it was over."

And to Lafarga's greatest surprise, a growl came from his companion.

"That was stupid. She was blind not to see how much you loved her."

Anger was flaring in Hikaru's eyes, her hands clenched into fists.

"If she gave up on you so quickly she must not have truly loved you."

Hikaru sighed and her anger was gone, just filled with pain. Hikaru got up and walked to the curtain of branches, peering through to see the stars.

"I know the pain you are going though Lafarga. I know only to well." This caught Lafarga off guard.

"Lantis said almost the exact same thing to me, it hurt me so bad. Nova was my only confidant. She was ready to go kill him because it hurt me. I told her no and kept careful control over her the past year. Lantis never loved me and the worst part is that I don't know why."

Hikaru wrapped her arms around herself, bowing her head, fighting back tears. Lafarga looked at her amazed; he would kill Lantis next time he saw him for hurting Hikaru. Lafarga stood up, and walked over to Hikaru and hugged her. Hikaru turned around and buried her head into his shoulder, drawing comfort from one another. Lafarga held her tight, afraid she would disappear, and kissed the top of her head and buried his head into her hair. Hikaru drew apart slightly and looked deep into his eyes, amazed on how much their eyes were alike, holding the same pain. Slowly her hand stroked his cheek and something flashed in his eyes that Hikaru could not identify. Leaning forward her lips brushed his own. Lafarga looked deeply into her eyes, cupping her cheek with his hand, then claimed her mouth with his own. Their passion began to grow and Hikaru felt a heat ignite in her that she had never felt before. Pushing him against the willow, Hikaru's arms snaked around Lafarga's neck, his around her waist. Pressing herself harder against him, Hikaru wrapped her legs around Lafarga's waist. Both broke the kiss, gasping for breath. Hikaru smirked at Lafarga, who also grinned. Lafarga set Hikaru on the ground, and Hikaru kissed his cheek, grasping his hand firmly in her own, heading toward the inn.

"Oh Hikaru, did you get your sword?"

"Yeah.."

As the sun peeked over the forest, in the early morning, Caldina slipped into the inn, intent on bringing back the late little missy and Lafarga. As she quietly opened the door, she stopped dead. There lay her ex-lover with the little missy, sleeping comfortably in each other's arms, at peace with the world. She turned slowly closing the door without a noise, a tear rolling down her golden skin.



OK, there finally down (starts running around in joy) man that took forever (only two days). I absolutely love Hikaru, she is the best!! I'm sorry but I felt to do a weird pairing and I thought Hikaru would look good with Lafarga cause in the anime remember how he smiled and spoke to her when she freed him from the spell Zagato had laid on him. Well I just thought they would make a cute couple. Thanks to anybody who reads (if there is anybody who does) and please review, I live on them and I'll die if I don't get my daily amounts. (haha) If I get enough reviews I'll make a sequel or you can request it or I'll just make a sequel without your consent, Mwhahahaha.
