Rebel Love
Chapter 22-Reunited Hearts III
By Kitten Starr
Leena lifted her shield and took in the sight of her damaged Zoid. She ran her fingers along the slick, metallic surface. It had just a few scratches and a hurt ego, if Zoids could have an ego that is. Leena lowered her head.
"I'm sorry, Saix. I really did think we would win. Next time we'll train harder and we'll really show them what we're made of. I promise," said Leena just above an audible whisper.
The Lightning Saix Ultima roared has Leena said this letting her know it would be all right. The Saix then did something that almost frightened Leena, but it happened so fast she didn't even have time to think. The Saix turned into a brilliant hue of blues. The beam of sensational light circled around Leena and absorbed into her. She felt as though she was on an estranged planet with no gravity. Her insides felt like mush and her skin began to break into a cold sweat though her heart felt like it was on fire. The light dissipated and once again formed the Lightning Saix Ultima. It looked as though it was brand new.
Leena looked at the Saix in understanding. She spoke one word and one word only. "Bit."
Leena pulled off her helmet and let her red hair become one with the wind. She cried silently as all her feelings and thoughts rushed into like a glacier melting in a flaming river of scalding water. She smiled and began racing towards her target. She could see her beloved in a short distance and tried to call out to him, but she found no voice. She was too happy for any words for it might ruin the moment.
She remembered why she ran away. She remembered the accident with her Gun Sniper. She remembered the fall. She remembered Vega rescuing her. Most of all, she remembered her love for Bit Cloud. Now she just had to find out if he could ever feel the same way for her. Maybe these past two years had changed him. She prayed to the heavens above that he did. She'd die for sure if he could never return her feelings. Her love.

Bit was about to get into his Liger to head back to the Hover Cargo when something made him turn around. That's when he saw the figure in the distance running. It looked like that Zoid pilot he had defeated just a few short minutes ago. What could she want?
Bit squinted against the sun and shielded his eyes with his hand. That's when he noticed the unusual brilliance of red hair illuminating from the girl running towards him. It couldn't be could it? It couldn't be his Leena. The same girl that had haunted his dreams. The very girl that made his heart thud with love beyond any other love. The one that he had sought after since the day she left so long ago. Hit Leena, his beloved.
Bit stood still with his eyes brimming with freely released tears. His tears glistened in the sun as he smiled. He didn't dare wipe them away either. They were too precious. They were tears for her.
-~*~-
Leena had only a few more feet to run before she would be able to see him. She wanted to touch him. She wanted to hug him for eternity and never ever let him go. Oh, how her heart ached with joy at the mere sight of him!
She panted and almost fell but her determination kept her going strong. She didn't even feel weary or tired as her legs carried her the remaining distance that would finally get her to her destination. She would make it!
Leena stopped right as she reached the last few feet from him. She could tell from his face that he noticed her. She wanted to run to him, but she held her stance firmly waiting for him to make a move.
Bit couldn't stand it any longer. He broke free of his stately trance and ran the rest of the way to her. He threw his arms around her and didn't want to let go.
"Bit, I'm so sorry," Leena sobbed into his shoulder.
Bit stuck his nose in her hair and inhaled her scent deeply. She smelled so sweet like a fragrant flower. "Shh. Leena, I've missed you so much."
Leena stood back a little and gazed into his eyes. She wiped his tears away along with piece of hair that had strayed upon his handsome features. She brushed her fingers nimbly across his lips and smiled up at him.
"I love you, Bit Cloud."
"I love you too, Leena. My Leena."
Bit leaned down as Leena reached up and encircled her arms around his neck. Bit rested his arms around her small waist as they brushed one another's lips, each tasting the other. Their lips finally locked into a kiss so full of emotion. It sealed their love for one another. They melded into one just as the sun set for the day.
They were so focused on one another that they didn't see that others had encircled around them as their intimate moment was coming to a blissful end. Slight whistling and giggling roused them from their dream world of togetherness and love. Both broke free from one another while their hands remained interwoven with the other's.
Leena was the first to turn red with Bit's cheeks tingeing a bright crimson as well. They were grateful for the slight darkness because they had an audience. Leena was the first to speak. "Hi," she managed meekly.
Doc Toros embraced his daughter with warm welcoming. "No need to explain, Leena, darling. Vega here has already explained everything to us. We're so glad to have you back."
Leena was on the edge of tears again at the sight of her father. She had missed him deeply. It was after their embrace that she noticed Brad and Jamie standing beside him.
"Hi, Brad, Jamie."
Both boys smiled and waved. "It's nice to have you back, Leena."
"It's nice to be back."
Jamie added, "Maybe Bit here will actually sleep without calling your name in the middle of the night."
Leena smiled and looked back at Bit. She was standing close enough to see him turn even redder. She let it go at that. She turned to Vega who had Seijitsu at his arm.
"Thank you, Vega, my dearest friend."
"You don't need to thank me for anything, Leena."
Leena went over and hugged him. "If ever you need me, you know where to find me."
Vega smiled and hugged her back. "Thank you for being my friend."
Leena walked back into the arms of Bit and looked at Vega. "I'm glad you finally found someone who loves you back, Veg."
For the first time that night, Vega Obscura reddened in the face and was at a loss of words. The girl beside just smiled and looked up at him. The others in the little group laughed.
-~*~-
Sarah emerged from the shadows and hugged Leena as she cried. "My darling, I'm glad you finally found where you truly belong. It was a pleasure having you."
Leena hugged her back and smiled. "Thank you, Sarah. You were like a mom to me. I could never forget that."
The women broke free and laughed. Sarah gathered Vega and Seijitsu and headed back to their base. All was falling back into place as if nothing had happened that day exactly two years and three months ago.
-~*~-
Bit and Leena stayed behind as the trio of sleepy Blitz members headed back into the Hover Cargo for some much needed sleep. Bit waited until they were out of sight before he spoke to Leena again.
"I can't tell you how much I've waited for this day, Leena."
"I know, Bit. I've equally anticipated it. I love you with all my heart and nothing can ever change that. Promise me you'll love until the end of time."
"I promise my love. I'll never leave your side."
The young couple viewed the twinkling stars in the sky and made a wish just as a shooting star flew past. They each wished that their love would be as strong today as it would for years to come. They walked back into the Hover Cargo where they would sleep that night and many more to come. Bit and Leena finally found each other in the other's feelings
