Chibi: Well now, it has been a very-very-VERY long time since I've last
updated, or at least it seems that way to me, and I apologize profusely! I
can't believe I'm already a month into my junior year at college! Where
does the time go! I've been meaning to get this posted sooner, but between
the three P's (papers, parties, and people!) I've had no time! But,
fortunately, much like last year I also have a class this year, in which I
can write my fics! So hopefully I'll have some new ones up shortly (or I
could finish my GundamW or Inuyasha ones I've already started!) So, this is
the finally chapter of this fic. I made it very fluff-filled for those he
asked for it; at least I think it is. I've been inspired by all those lucky
gits around campus who have a special someone and like to flaunt it off in
the overly sappy way that they do. I think they just like to make me feel
bad ~_~' No worries though! Mr.Right is out there somewhere! Maybe I'll
find him at Ohayo-Con! LOL
Quick shout-outs!

Chibi-Suiko: Don't know what to say to you. Inspiration comes without warning. And I really can't tell if you're complimenting or criticizing, either way: there's this little button on the left side of your keyboard. It reads 'Caps Lock'....hit it!!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A gentle hand rested upon her cheek, willing her to open her eyes. Obediently her lashes fluttered as her clear blue eyes opened to the sights before her. Everything was fuzzy at first, but shortly came into focus, but all that mattered to her was the person before her.
Anzu smiled up at Yami and then appeared to be studying him. A quizzical look passed his features as he watched her watching him. It had been over a day since she last was awake. This whole ordeal was just too much for her and left her tired enough to stay asleep since her arrival and interview with the police. Yami stared into her beautiful eyes as he waited for her to say something.
"Wow...." she stated blankly, "You look terrible. When did you last sleep?"
A small laugh sounded from his closed mouth and his eyes shone with amusement. 'You think I look bad,' he thought, 'you should see yourself!....not that I'd ever tell you that.' Yami briefly remembered a time when Jou had said Anzu looked bad and ended up with a minor concussion. No, Yami had more self-preservation instincts than that.
"I've been up for over a day now. Once I was released from the police I came here to see you, but you were already out cold and I've stayed by your side since then. Yugi and the others came by to see you earlier today also. They're very worried for you and can't wait to see you again. But none of that is relevant. How are you feeling now? The other night was....." he paused, trying to decide how to soften the blow, "....hectic to say the least."
Her eyes widened and he awaited the shock from the past events to strike her like lightening, but it never came.
"Over a day! You've been awake for over a day?! How are you still keeping your eyes open?!" She stiffly moved to one side of her hospital bed, "Lay down, you need to rest."
What Anzu lacked of in shock, Yami more than fully made up for. "Huh? Oh......no! Wait! What? I can't!" He looked at everything else in the room, but her; while waving his arms franticly in front of him and then bowed his head to look at the floor, a slight blush creeping across his face.
"Don't be silly. You need to sleep." Anzu appeared to be totally unaware of Yami's slight embarrassment. She carefully reached out and took his hand and pulled him in next to her.
He remained stiff as a board, staring up at the ceiling until Anzu softly called out to him. "Yami?" It was barely a whisper; if he had not been next to her he would not have heard it.
"Yes?"
"Thank-you." He felt her shift her head to look away from him.
"For what?" He asked as he relaxed and turned to look at her
"For everything. For helping me. I don't know what would've happened if you had not been there. That's now twice within the past few days that you saved me."
'Twice?' Yami thought, 'Of course. How could I almost forget? This has all happened because of her attack on that rainy day. And there was also.....' He stopped, not wishing to continue his thought and trying to hide another slight blush.
"Anzu, you don't need to thank me. You're my friend. And I always protect my friends."
"Oh......." her voice sounded disappointed, almost hurt and he realized this. She took in a startled breath when she felt Yami take her hand in his. Slowly, she turned her head to look at him. He caught her gaze with his and they looked into each other's eyes lying side by side.
"You didn't let me finish," his voice was low and deep. His whispered words were raspy as his hot breath flowed across her face. "I always protect me friends Anzu, but I would allow nothing to EVER happen to you. You mean too much to me."
Anzu couldn't tear her gaze away from his even if she wanted too. She didn't know what to say to him. Was he trying to say that he felt more for her than just friendship, the same way that she has felt for him, but had always been too afraid to tell him?
Somewhere in the back of her mind, she registered that it was now raining outside. A constant stream that beat down on the window with the occasional thunder sounding, creating a hypnotic rhythm that filled the room.
Not knowing what to say, she let her feelings and instincts work for her. She gently laid her head on Yami's chest as she gave his hand a squeeze and let out a comforted sigh. Yami understood her actions and felt a wave of relief and joy pass through him. She did share the same feelings he did.
"Anzu......" She turned to look up at him. She could tell he wanted to say something, but didn't know how too. Everything suddenly made sense and she began to wonder why she ever doubted his feelings for her? How could she have been so naive to miss his feelings for her?
A look of understanding crossed both their faces as a clash of thunder broke them from their trance like states. Both glanced at the window and watched as the rain traced patterns on the glass. Anzu laid her head back down on his chest as she watched the storm outside.
Yami took the opportunity to watch her instead of the rain. She was so beautiful, even after all that's happened to her. She was strong-willed, whether or not she believed it. Most people would be in sheer chaos and hysterics right now, but not her. She remained calm and caring, much like a queen who never losses her cool.
The lack of sleep was finally starting to catch up to him. He wrapped his arms around Anzu, smiling to himself as she snuggled up closer to him. Yes, they were at a hospital; yes, this could've happened under better circumstances, but they were together now. Wrapped around each other, feeling the others warmth. Yami bent his head down and kissed the top of Anzu's head not knowing how else to express his feelings at the moment. That however was quickly remedied as Anzu turned to look at him. As if reading his mind, she smiled up at him and nodded. They both met in a sweet kiss that grew with passion with each passing second.
As their moment of ardor grew to an end, the rhythmic beating of the rain helped to lull them into peacefully slumber. Tomorrow they would tell everyone of their love, tomorrow they would begin their new life together, tomorrow would hold so many possibilities. But for now they would remain wrapped in each other's arms, listening to the rain and enjoying the virtues of their lives.
