The sun was rising over the trees. It was only seven in the morning, but it already was hot. Miki yawned and walked over to the window, pulling the curtains open. The sun's rays lightened her face. Today was the day her and Ken where going to the beach. She had hoped that they would still go after last nights happening. Just a few minutes after she awoke the phone rang. Miki ran over to the phone hoping it would be Ken. She picked it up and tried to sound as awake as possible.

"Hello?" Miki said with a yawn.

"Miki? Hey, it's Ken." Ken said as he smiled.

"KEN! Hey! I'm really sorry about last night. And um, are we still going to the beach like planed?" Miki asked in fear.

"I all ready told you, I forgive you for what you did and you forgave me. There was no way we could have known. And if you want to go to the beach we can. That's why I called." Ken said with a sweet tone.

"I do want to go Ken. I would go anywhere with you." Miki said as she blushed. She knew not why she did, because she was on the other end of the phone line. But she couldn't help it.

"Well, then. I will be at your place in 2 hours. I hope that gives you enough time to get ready."

"Ok, I will be waiting here for you, Ken." With that they both hung up the phones, and started to get ready.

"I can't wait! I'm going to the beach with Ken!" Miki yelled as she started to get ready. "I will need this, and this. Do you think he would want this?" Miki asked herself. Finally after two hours she was ready.

At the same time Ken was getting ready as well. He looked in his hamper. "Nope not in there. Maybe in there." Ken was looking for his swim trunks. "I know! There under..." He carried off. He had half his body under his bed. "Here!" Yelling as he came out. He took his pants off and put his trunks on. (^_^) So he would not have to put them on at the beach. Now he was ready for the beach. "Time to call Miki. I hope she's finished getting ready. I know she is. She does do thing fast." Saying this as he walked over to the phone. Odd enough his phone had a little white and black ball on the antenna. It was a soccer ball. Miki had given it to him as a gift. Knowing how much he loved soccer, she thought he would like it. But every time he looked at the soccer ball he wanted to bite it. Something about it just made him want to bite it. Maybe the fact that it looked like candy. Know one really knows. The phone began to ring. Miki looked at the phone wanting to know who was calling at 9:30 in the morning; then remembering it must be Ken, calling to see if she was done. She was too happy and exited to really think clearly.

"Hello?" Miki said with curiosity. Her phone was green with leaves on it. She never liked the way the phone looked so she painted it. It really didn't go well with her room. Her room was dark. Much with the Indian feel.

"Hey, Sweetie" said the voice on the other side.

"Ken! Hey. I'm ready whenever." Miki was a little taken back at him calling her sweetie because he had never called her a nickname before. She liked it though.

"Good. I will be there in fifteen." Ken said with a joyous voice. He was glade he could be with her alone for a day. They had not been alone since the time they where in the park.

"Ok, see you then. I love you." Miki smiled as she said this. Every time she told him she loved him she would feel weird, and start to blush.

"All right. Love you too." With that Ken hung up the phone. Making sure he had every thing he needed. Every thing. (^_~) Ten minutes later Ken was at the apartment.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Miki yelled knowing who it was. She had her bathing suit top on and was putting on shorts over the bottoms. Ken walked in just as she finished pulling them up. He turned bright red thinking she did not have bathing bottoms on.

"AHHHHH! Miki!" Ken said as he turned around fast. Miki looked up and had a confused look on her face.

"What is it Ken? What's wrong?" Miki asked in worriment. "You can turn back around. What's wrong?" Miki asked again.

"You where um...." Ken was now feeling foolish for he realized now she was in her bathing suit. " I um... thought you where not ready." He left it at that not wanting to say, 'I thought you where in your in you under wear.' Even thought he wish it to be that way deep in his mind. (~^_^~)

"Oh!" Miki knew what he meant now. She started to blush a little. "Well, shall we go? I can't wait to get there. What beach is it?" Miki asked with happiness. One of her dreams where finally coming true.

"OK! Let's go." Ken took Miki's hand and grabbed the picnic basket. They walked out the door down to his bike. Ken handed Miki a helmet and he put the basket on the back of the motorcycle. He slowly sat down. "Hop on!" With that Miki sat down behind Ken. She put her arms around his waist, and she laid her head on his back. To both of their surprise, Miki's hands rested nicely on his body. (^_^0) She quickly moved them up. Ken smiled and looked back to the road. Miki was still in shock on what she had done. Even after their 45-min ride to the beach.

"Here we are!" Ken said as he took his helmet off. They where still on the bike. Miki slowly took hers off as well. "Well what do you think? Nice huh?" Ken looked at Miki. She was in awe at what was before her. Crystal clear blue water. Only a few people were there. Two or tree couples at the least.

"KEN! Where did you, how did you. When did...." She trailed off. Ken just laughed.

"I found this place a few months back. I took a ride and found it. I never came down here before to swim. Because I never had anyone to come with." As he said this he kissed Miki softly on the lips. "Well, I think we better go get a spot." Miki got off the bike, and Ken followed. They took the basket down to the beach and sat down about 10 feet from the water edge. Miki took her shorts and shirt off; she was wearing a bikini top that tide in the back. Her bottoms had draw stings on the side of them. It was green, blue, yellow, and orange with little trees on it. As Ken took his shirt off. This was the first time Miki had ever seen him shirtless. She just looked at him with large, green eyes.

"Is there something wrong, Miki?" Ken asked, as she looked her up and down. He had never seen her like that before. But he liked it.

"N.. N...no! I just thought um...damn!" Miki could not help but to say it.

"I would have to say the same about you Miki. I knew you where the most beautiful creature on this earth but, DAMN!"

Miki blushed, "Well, um...lets put some lotion on" Miki took out the tanning lotion Ken sat down beside of her. He came close to her. Miki just smiled as she put her hands on his chest and put the lotion on him. He did the same for her. While Miki was rubbing the lotion on him, she noticed every muscle in his body. His chest seemingly sparkled in the sunlight. Ken was in a trance while putting the lotion on her. He was becoming hypnotized by her every curve. As he finished he kissed her once more. With a kind of caring love you can't explain.

"Well, lets go." Ken said as he stood up. Miki's heart started to hurt. She did not know why, but it did. For the first time she could not handle just kissing him. She had to have more. She had to feel more. "Well, are you coming?" Ken asked as he looked back.

"No. I can't stand it any more Ken, I can't." Miki said as she stood. Ken had a hurt look on his face.

"What? What can't you..." Before he could finish Miki was right in front of him. She threw her arms around his neck. She slowly spoke.

"I need more then just a sweet kiss." As she said this she kissed him with more passion then ever. Ken did the same as they fell onto the blanket, and they kissed. Ken brushed his hands through her hair every now and then, falling for her every passionate kiss. He could never resist her, even from the start. Miki was on top of Ken, gently rubbing her soft, delicate hand on his face. The other hand was on top of his chest. (Note: Good thing only about four people where there. Oh, you bad people thinking like that you are very bad. THEY DID NOTHING!)

This make-out scene went on for a good while. When it was time to go home. They slowly got up and brushed the sand off of them. They had done little to no swimming that day.

Miki got on the bike sitting very close to Ken now. Close as she could. Her hands rested on him, as they had when they first got on the bike. Ken just smiled a smile of more joy then he had ever felt. He knew how he loved Miki. He knew now she would never be out of his sight again. They returned home at around six.

"Ken, do you want to stay for a little bit?" Miki asked with a smile.

"I would love to. Sweetie." Miki took Kens hand and led him in. They sat on the love set. Miki's head in Kens lap and they talked.

"Ken? Tell me about your past. Why did you join Weiss?" Miki asked with a shy smile. She knew how painful some past where and she was kind of reluctant to ask.

"Well, what is there to say?" He told her on how his friend lied and set him up. He told her everything.

"Ken?" Miki said as she looked at him. They were now lying on the love seat.

"Hmmm?" Ken was so happy and so sleepy he could not speak words.

"I..." Before Miki finished the phone rang. Miki hesitantly got up and answered it.

"Hello?" Miki said with a cold voice. She was happy lying with Ken and they made her get up.

"Miss Miki?" The voice on the other end said. Miki was taken back. No one called her Miss Miki. At least not any more.

"Yes, this is she. Who are you?" Hearing the tone Miki was using Ken got up and walked over to her.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm Alice. Remember, your little cousin?" The voice on the other end said. Miki's eyes got large and she sat down on the table that the phone was on. Ken stood there with his hand on her shoulder.

"Alice? How did you get my number? Miki asked

"Well, I'm really at your moms she asked me to call you."

"My mothers home? What is going on?"

"Well, your mom and Kiki's mom wants you two to come home. Just for a visit. We have not seen you in a few years, and Haru and Lieyos want to see you two as well. So..." Before she could finish Miki jumped in.

"Ok, well I have to go I will come." With that Miki hung up the phone before Alice could say more. Miki looked up at Ken; he had much fear in his eyes. He knew not of what made Miki fear so much, but what ever it was he wanted to make her feel safe again, the way they just where.

"God...Haru...." Miki started to cry.

"What is it Miki?" Ken's heart started to race. Who was Haru? And why did his name make her cry? What ever it was he would not let it last. Ken could not have Miki in pain. Not now, not ever.

"Ken, I have to go. You have to go. Oh, god..." Miki stood and put her back to Ken. Ken knew something was really wrong. He walked over to her and kissed her forehead. He hugged her. She buried her head into his neck and cried.

"Ken, I have to go back home." Miki said as she pulled away from Ken. How come when she finally finds love it has to leave her again. Just like before. "Ken, I need to be alone. Go back home, I will call you in the morning." Miki said with a smile. She was trying to get him to leave and yet she knew he would not until she was happy. But Ken finally left. Miki was lying through her teeth, she wanted him with her, and she did not believe she would call him in the morning. She sat down on the loveseat. She saw Ken had left his earring.

"It must have fallen out when we where lying there." Miki picked it up and smiled. Miki just sat there looking at the earring for 2 hours. Then she thought she should go and give it back to Ken. But if she went to the shop he would want her to stay....

"I need to take a walk. Yea, a walk. That would do me some good." Miki stood and walked out the door as she grabbed her jacket. She did not care if she was still wearing her bathing suit top. She walked all over the town. Until it was about 9:30 when she realized she needed to tell Kiki about this. She found a nearby phone and called Kiki. She left a message telling her they needed to talk. She slowly walked home. Tears filling her eyes.

"Why now? Why? You broke my heart, and now you want it back, I bet. Well, you won't get it!" Miki yelled. Two other people who were walking looked at her and walked away fast. Miki finally came to the apartment. She new Kiki was home cause the lights were on. She walked in and Kiki was asleep in her room. Miki went in and put the blanket back on Kiki.

"Sleep well, for tomorrow the dream ends." With that Miki went to her room and slept. Not well, but fell asleep nonetheless.
