Wow, I can't believe so many people like this so much! Thank you so much
to everyone who reviewed! I'm SO sorry I can't make this longer, I love
writing it! But I only have enough plot for three chapters, and I'm afraid
if I start making it much longer, it'll just get stupid. So I'll keep it
at three chapters. Sorry!
Oh, to JSF: I guess it kinda depends what you mean by 'lovers'. Obviously, I'm not writing any kind of real fluff or lemon. I really hate reading those, and I'm totally uncomfortable writing it. But then, I dunno what's gonna happen to them off-camera, so to speak . . . Anywho, what I'm getting at for 'lovers' is pretty much 'people who are in love with eachother'. So that's cool, right?
Wow, the cat was popular, ne? ^^" honestly, I put that in cuz I had space to fill up, but u guess it worked out pretty well!
So, I'll get started now. I'm really gonna try to get this right. So, here I go!

Morning. A new beginning to another new day.
Another hope for Bailong.
The beginning of an amazing realization for Jun.
The sun rose over the new day the color of brilliant fire. It shone through the gap in Jun's curtains, falling on her face and shaking her awake. Her eyes reluctantly fluttered open, and she sat up in her bed, still facing Bailong from the night before.
"Good morning, Jun," Lee said from his place at her door. She looked over at him and noticed the cat, slowly waking up on his lap. She smiled at him and giggled.
"You and that cat . . ." Lee didn't say anything. He just smiled back at her. No different than before. Except this morning, that innocent smile had a new effect on Jun. Her breath quickened and her face grew hot. She turned away from him. "You may go now, Bailong."
"As you wish." He put the cat down gently and left the room. The still-sleepy cat wandered to Jun's bed and curled himself up. Jun stroked his fur absently, knowing that Bailong had done the same only a little while before.
Outside, Lee allowed himself a hopeful smile. Of course he'd noticed Jun's new reaction to him. All he could do was hope that it was a sign that she had finally figured it all out. It wouldn't do to be too hopeful, but Bailong was happy nonetheless.
That entire day, Jun went about her routine with her thoughts on Lee. He was always there with her, always watching over her, always somewhere nearby. And that whole day, Lee noticed that her mind was somewhere else. More and more, he dared to hope.
Besides her feelings, it was a very normal day for Jun. But it was those feelings that made everything seem new.
That evening, the two of them were walking back into the house after Lee's training. Jun had been reading something with half attention, watching him over the binding of her book. Now, her mind still wandered, and she tripped over a tree root as she was walking. Lee instinctively put out his arm to stop her fall. Jun looked back up at him with wide eyes; he was still holding her, rather than helping her stand and letting go. Lee looked back at her smiling. She stood on her own, and he still didn't let go. But Jun didn't mind.
"Bailong . . ."
"Have you guessed yet Jun?"
"Lee . . ."
"Haven't you figured it out?" his eyes still smiled at her, but there was such a sad look in them. He put his other arm around her and pulled her close to him. "Haven't you realized that I love you?"
Jun could barely say anything. Almost automatically, she reached up and draped her arms around his broad, comforting shoulders. His strong arms held her so gently, so tenderly. She felt so confused.
What was she supposed to do? Her head was screaming at her to get a grip. What would her family say? How could this be happening? He was dead for god's sake! And yet his body was warm, having been reunited with his soul. But it was a cold, dead warmth she felt on her fingers.
She looked at him again, saw his eyes smiling down at her, felt his arms around her, and she knew what to do. She tightened her grip just a little, and laid her head on his chest. That was all the answer Bailong needed.
They stood in each other's arms for a while in silence. Eventually, Jun spoke up.
"Lee, what about . . ."
"I'm here with you until the day you die, Jun," Lee replied without even hearing her question. "And when that day comes, we can pass on to the next life together. We'll never need to be apart."
"My family . . ."
'They'll see in time. They'll have to." He tightened his arms around her just a bit more. "Because I'll never let you go."
"Don't," Jun sighed, "I . . . I don't want you to." Her head was spinning and her heart pounding, and yet she had never fit so calm.
"Then that makes two of us, doesn't it?" Lee laughed. Jun smiled shakily, still so new to all these feelings rushing through her body. "I don't want to." He still held her close to him, his strong arms comforting her among all these strange new emotions.
"I . . . I barely know what to say, Lee."
"I was so afraid you'd never notice," Lee said, half to himself. "It took you so long to see." He looked off into the distance, absorbed in his own thoughts. Then he looked back at her and smiled again. "But now you did."
Jun smiled back shakily and relaxed in his embrace. The two of them walked together back into the house, ready now to begin a whole new life, together.

Man, I can't believe that's it! ;_; ah well. Maybe I'll get enough inspiration for another one soon. Thanks so much to my readers for all of your support.
Hey, just wondering, anyone spot the reference to The Princess Bride in here? If you know what I'm talking about, it shouldn't be too hard to find. I just thought it'd be fun to throw something like that in.
Oh, before I leave, let me please advertise for my other serious fic, "All for You", over in the Yu-gi-oh section. It's a pretty standard pro-Pegasus fic, but everyone who reviewed said it was great ^^"
Again, thank you all so much for your support. I'm really touched. I'll try my best to get another one of these up if I get another idea! Thank you all so much!
