Hi everyone! Thanks for all your reviews. They're the reason I try to
write as fast as I can. I included another manga scene in this chapter.
For those of you who have read the manga or saw Meteor Garden, this might
be a bit boring but I thought this was a very romantic scene. And since
I'm writing this story as the continuation of the anime this scene should
be included in their lives. Hope you all enjoy this chapter!

[Continuing from chapter 11 the dinner]
When Ryoko finished dinner, she got up and excused herself.
"I'm so sorry Ryoko. We were just arguing during dinner."
"Iie. I enjoyed watching you two. You're really perfect for each other."
Tsukushi was embarrassed, "Wh-what are you talking about? We were arguing the whole time."
"Yes, but you did it so affectionately. And neither of you realized you were feeding each other." Both of them turned so red they looked like cherries. Ryoko laughed. "Well I'll leave you two lovebirds alone. You know what they say, two's a company three's a crowd. I'll see you tomorrow Tsukushi, Doumyouji. Good night." She turned around and left.
Tsukushi felt very awkward. After hearing that she had been fed by Tsukasa and had fed him made her remember a bit of it. She thought, how could I have done that? And without me noticing too!
Tsukasa was embarrassed but not as much so as Tsukushi. In fact he was very happy. This simple act of intimacy made Tsukasa think that Tsukushi was really finally getting comfortable with him. Tsukasa pondered on whether or not to give it to her. He reached into his pocket and touched the velvet box.
"Tsukushi, let's go." Absent-mindedly, Tsukushi followed Tsukasa. She was still distraught about being fed. She didn't even notice she was being led into his room, not hers. She only realized it when she stopped.
"Ehhhh?!?! What am I doing in your room?? I already told you I'm not sharing a bed with you." She was flustered when she said this.
Tsukasa didn't say anything. He picked up the telescope, which was next to his bed and proceeded to put it together.
"What is that? A bazooka?"
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"I know. I was just kidding." Tsukushi laughed unconvincingly.
"It's an astronomical microscope."
Tsukushi's head dropped down. "A telescope you mean!?!?" He's really an idiot she thought.
"Yeah, that's what I meant to say." Tsukushi sighed.
She watched Tsukasa set up the telescope. "We're watching stars tonight? I've never done that before."
Once it was set up Tsukasa looked through the telescope. "What are you looking for?" Tsukushi asked.
"Wait. it must be in this direction."
"Let me see." She pushed Tsukasa out of the way, and looked through the telescope. "I can't see anything."
"Che. I didn't even set it up yet." He took back the telescope and Tsukushi sat down on the floor.
An hour passed by and Tsukasa still couldn't find what he wanted. "Tsukasa, I'm tired. I didn't nap as long as you did. What are you looking for? A martian? They went shopping on Jupiter."
Tsukasa didn't listen to Tsukushi. He was still searching. A few minutes later, "I found it!" Tsukasa looked at Tsukushi triumphantly. "Come look."
Tsukushi got up and slowly went to the telescope. She thought, what does he want me to see? She closed her left eye and looked with her right.
"Isn't it incredible?" Tsukasa said as Tsukushi looked.
"What." It was so beautiful that she was at a lost for words. She saw a circle with rings in the sky. "What's that?!?!"
"Saturn," Tsukasa replied.
"It's so beautiful." Tsukushi looked at it again. "Saturn." she whispered. "I've never seen a planet in real life. It would be nice to put it on a necklace," she mused. She turned away and looked at Tsukasa, who was smiling at her. "If it was the right size."
Tsukasa got up and walked back to his bed. "Come in."
"But I want to stargaze some more."
"I have something else I want to show you."
Tsukushi smiled wide, like a child on Christmas morning. "What's next?"
Tsukasa reached into his pocket and took out a velvet box. Tsukushi looked at him and wondered what it was. "Open it," he said.
She took it and shook it. "What is this?" If Tsukushi had looked at Tsukasa, she would've been startled by the intensity in his eyes.
Tsukushi opened the box and was shocked by what she found. "Saturn?"
"I had a hard time finding something that fit. So I had it custom made. It's a diamond and a ruby. It's yours."
Tsukushi stared at it like it was a curse. "I don't want it."
Tsukasa got mad. "What do you mean you don't want it!?!? I'm giving it to you."
"No way! It must've been expensive."
"I don't mind. I ordered it from Cartier. They are one of the three best jewelry makers."
"You shouldn't have bought it for me." Tsukushi was horrified. The necklace must've cost 2,000,000 yen. She would never have been able to afford it.
Tsukasa took the box away from Tsukushi since she was just staring at it. "I'll put it on you." Tsukushi turned around so that her back was facing him.
Then she turned her head around. "I'll try it on, but I won't take it."
Tsukasa brushed away her hair and put the necklace on her. Tsukushi looked down at the necklace on her. It's so beautiful, she thought. "I'm happy, but I don't have any reason to take this." Then Tsukasa hugged her from behind. She froze, startled by the sudden gesture. He placed his head next to hers.
"What's wrong with giving something beautiful to the woman I love?" Tsukushi relaxed in his embrace.
"Tsukasa." she said the only thing she could say, "Arigato." She turned her head to kiss him. I can feel his heart beating, she thought, or is it mine?
She was nervous yet also calm. Tsukasa's kisses were so gentle and tender that it made Tsukushi feel very loved. She didn't ever want to leave his embrace. Her whole body was anticipating this. She didn't want him to stop.
Tsukasa took off his shirt. Tsukushi stared at him. Her heart was pounding wildly, but when Tsukasa came back to her side she felt calm again, as if he had some magical power over her. He unbuttoned her shirt and when he touched her all thoughts went out the window.
Everything from then on was instinctual. She touched him back, loving the feel of his skin against hers. A few minutes later their clothes came off. Tsukushi felt embarrassed at being naked but the way Tsukasa touched her made her feel so loved.
Tsukasa proved to be a very skilled lover even though it was his first time too. They both climaxed together. Tsukushi's first penetration wasn't as bad as she expected. The pain had subsided quickly and Tsukasa's kisses distracted her.
They made love through out the night and each time Tsukushi was ready for him. (AN: Well Tsukasa is a healthy young male o.O) What was surprising was that Tsukushi turned to him a couple of times during the night too. She had woken up thinking that she heard something, but when she looked around she didn't see anything. She looked down at Tsukasa who was sleeping so peacefully. She reached out to brush his hair, so thick and full. It seemed short because it's curled, but in actuality his hair was a bit past his ears.
She had this urge to disturb much like what he did to her a few times before. She leaned down and kissed him. She felt him slowly awaken. She felt a jolt of arousal when he kissed her back. She knew Tsukasa was a deep sleeper, so was she. To be able to wake him up like this made her feel very excited. Is this what he felt when he woke her up?
"Tsukushi."
"Aishiteru Tsukasa."
Tsukasa felt his heart would explode. He had never been so happy before in his life. She was his. "Aishiteru Tsukushi."
************************************************************************
Hehe, what did you think was in the velvet box? A ring perhaps? I thought of it and decided to do the Saturn scene. I thought the necklace was a must have; it's very important in their relationship. I hope you all liked this chapter!
And who Ryoko ends up with is still undecided. So far it's Rui - 3 and Soujiro - 2. Akira is out of the question, sorry XxSwtDreamerxX. I just can't see him with Ryoko. By the way, for those of you who voted for Rui. I hope you're prepared for a bitchy Shizuka. Maybe it's just me but I've never liked her. Still. I guess I could just sort of mention her instead of giving her a big role in the second part. Vote people!
