~*The King Of Hearts*~
009 stared out into the endless blue sea. He was currently sitting on top of a cliff, just watching the wave's crash against the rocks. His mind still wasn't willing to comprehend the fact that Black Ghost wanted Francoise, or the fact that he had almost lost her to him. Joe just couldn't think of life without the beautiful angel in it. Which is why he still questioned to think how he ever got threw life in the orphanage with her not there. Joe's hands were clutched tightly at his side, as he thought about what would happen if Black Ghost did ever get a hold of Francoise. Joe shuttered at the thought.
Suddenly something warm and smooth covered his cold and clammy hand. Under the angelic contact Joes hand mellowed and lost its tight grip. The warm object then picked up his hand, only to hold it tightly.
"What's wrong Joe? You've been realy out of it all day. The team and I are worried." Was Francoise's calm, sweet voice.
Joe turned his head so he was facing her. His cinnamon eyes bore into her emerald green ones. Francoise saw he looked lost and unguided at that moment. Like a small child that was confused or upset over something.
Suddenly he flung his arms around her and brought her as close as he possibly could to him. Of late Francoise noticed he had the need to keep her somewhat physically close. Why he did she didn't understand. She didn't mind him hugging her and always keeping an eye on her of course. Actually.she sort of liked it. When these thoughts entered her mind she suddenly felt a deep blush cross over her cheeks, as she hugged him back with just as much force.
"Joe?" She asked after a few long moments passed by.
"Yes?" Was his faint reply.
"What's wrong? Please tell me." Francoise pulled away from him slightly, only to be able to once again look into his deep and passionate eyes.
His hands ran down her long arms only to rest on her slim waist. She felt him tighten his grip around her slightly as he bent his head down in shame.
"I-I just I.I've been thinking about that last encounter with Black Ghost a lot and well." his voice flattered.
"Well what?" the French cyborg tried to press more information out of him but in a gentle and undemanding way. "Well I.I just don't want to lose you Francoise! Your too important to me!" was his sudden confession.
003 was at first taken aback by his sudden outburst. She tried to look in through his eyes to see if she could just get some understanding of what he was feeling. What she found was not at all what she expected. She saw this deep furry at black ghost for taking away so many lives and a fear of losing her. Why was he so concerned and afraid to lose her? Was there some possibility that.no that was too much to even begin to hope for.
003 decided that then was a good time for a change of subject.and fast! So she quickly averted her head so she was no longer looking at him but at the salty sea bellow.
"It's pretty isn't it, Joe?" 003 asked in a deep calm, serene voice.
Joe's grip on her loosened a bit as he clamed down slightly. "Y-ya it is."
Francoise nodded her head as the salty sea breeze drifted up to the cliff and played with the blond cyborgs hair. "The sea just seems to make you feel peaceful inside."
"Ya." The cyborg leader voiced again.
Suddenly Francoise turned her head so she was, once again, looking at him. Her hand ranked threw his chocolate brown hair, making him blush lightly. "Joe, you know id never ever leave you if I had the choice. I want to be here for you.just like you've always been there for me." Francoise's hand gently reached up and caressed his smooth cheek. Seeding shivers down his spine.
Something close to relief seemed to spread threw Joes body. A sudden burden lifted off his shoulders and completely disappeared into thin air. With a smile now replacing his frown, Joe threw his arms around her and softly stroked her hair, all the while keeping her tightly pressed to his chest.
"I know." the cyborg leader whispered. "I know."
~*~
Meanwhile, watching the activity on top of the cliff form the deck of the dolphin was none other than 007 and 006. 006 looked remorseful while 007 just had a look of something close to pity.
"Poor 009, after he told us what happened yesterday with 003 he's been kinda out of it." 006 voiced, while his head shook with pity.
"Ya, I feel bad for the ol' chap.' He's afraid he's going too loose the person he loves the most." 007 said, using his old English accent.
006 only nodded his head in sympathy.
~*~
Back on the cliff 009 reluctantly let go of 003. He silently gazed down at the tiny dancer, [A.n. "Tiny Dancer" is one of my favorite songs] who's life and dreams were forever ruined, thanks too the courtesy of Black Ghost. A boiling rage seemed too suddenly fire off inside of Joe.
Suddenly the petite dancers hand came up a stroked his cheek. "Please don't get angry Joe." Francoise's sweet sounding voice rang in his mind and calmed him down.
Wait? How on earth did she even know he was upset? Joe stared down at her for a second in mild confusion. Then, Joe's soft serine smile suddenly returned too his face.
009 and 003 often spent a lot of time together, so it was only right that she should know when he was angry, happy, or sad. She could always tell what he was feeling even when no one else could, just like Joe somehow always knew when Francoise was upset on the inside, even when she wore a smile and acted like marry sunshine on the outside. Over time Joe had learned how too see the difference between one of Francoise's genuine smiles over one of her fake unreal smiles. This is what made Joe and Francoise's connection so strong. They had this sort of bond that could never die, no matter how close or far they were from each other.
Joe edged closer too the girl he was in love with until his forehead touched hers, and she could feel his breath on her cool face. "You're amazing. Do you know that?" the cyborg leader's voice was so soft and velvety that the French dancer thought that she would just crack under the rich warmth his voice held.[A.n. yay! I just watched the movie "To Catch a Thief" and I realy want too write a romance right now.^_^]
Francoise smiled joyously at him, her emerald eyes danced with certain sparkle and shine that only she was able to display. "Am I?" she asked in a teasing manner.
Joe smiled lovingly at her. Francoise saw his gaze had changed a bit too. Sure he had looked at her lovingly before but this time.he seemed too be bearing his all too her.
All his love.
All his joy.
And all his loyalty and devotion.
Joe swallowed a sudden lump that formed in his throat. His hands suddenly came up and laced his fingers with hers. Gently tugging her slightly closer to him. "Yes, you are amazing." His head bent down towards hers a little more, so his lips were just above hers, ".and that's one of the many reasons why I've fallen completely and hopelessly in love with you."
Joe didn't waist another second. He tugged her as close as he could too him and pressed his lips onto hers. There was something different about this kiss and the kiss he had given her before. One, she knew how he felt about her, and two he seemed too want more of her because of the former reason. He could tell she was shocked at first. He was just about to pull back and explain things too her when he suddenly felt her respond too his kiss.
Francoise couldn't believe it. The man she loved the most loved her back! So many emotions were pulsing threw her at this one moment, she felt as though she would pass out, but she didn't. Instead she pressed somewhat closer too Joe, too let him know she accepted his kiss.
Joe could feel his lungs burning for air, even though he was a cyborg and was supposed too be able to handle this kind of pressure, no pressure in the world could ever compare to the kiss he shared with the radiant dancer he held in his arms now. Joe with drew his lips from hers just long enough for one quick breath then he crashed his lips over hers again.
Joe unwound his hands from hers and gently grabbed her tiny wrists and brought her hands up too both his cheeks. She didn't fight against him the least bit.
Finally, and reluctantly Joe pulled away from Francoise. The two cyborgs were both panting immensely.
"F-Francoise. I-I love.you..." Joe managed between big intakes of breath. Inside anxiety was eating Joe up inside. He wanted too hear her answer. He wanted too hear it now, but for some reason the second it took for her too answer seemed like endless hours too him.
Francoise took in one big deep breath. Then, in her exhale, out came the words Joe never even dared too hope for. ".I love you too, Joe." she finished her five word sentence with the most gorgeous smile.
Joe too smiled; it wasn't a huge smile, but a pure, joyous, and loving smile. Francoise once again laced her fingers with Joe's and settled her head in the crook of Joe's neck.
Knowing that Francoise also loved him made some sort of new determination build up inside him. If black ghost ever took away his one and only love then he would make sure that Francoise was back safely in his arms and that black ghost was gone for good, and this was his solemn vow.
For now though.Joe didn't want too think about black ghost or what could happen. All he wanted too think about now was that the girl he loved.and for now that's all that mattered.
~*~
Watching the tender scene, from a giant video camera, was non other than black ghost himself.
"So.003 and 009 are in love huh?" black ghost said too no one in particular. Suddenly a cold evil laugh sounded threw out the cold dark ship.
"This is perfect! At this rate, 009 will carry out my plain for me!" the laugh continued.
Suddenly one of black ghost's main commanders came into the room. He then bent down on one knee in respect for the master of evil. "Sir, should we act now?" the small man asked.
Black ghost rubbed his chin in thought for a moment. "Yes, now would be a perfect time too act! Precede!" the somewhat scared commander bowed in respect then left the room in a hurry.
Then black ghost turned back to the giant screen and stared at the pretty French girl, in the Japanese cyborgs arms. "Soon my dear.soon. You are the finale ingredient too making an unstoppable army, that's capable of destroying the 00 cyborgs!"
Black ghost let out an evil laugh, piercing the scale of sound.
The time was near.
Soon.
The one thing 009 loved and cherished would soon be his.
And he would have the power.
He would have everything.
A.N. yay! Another chapter finished. Though I realy wanted too end this chapter with where Francoise is taken but oh well! Sorry for the somewhat slow update. Keep checking my authors page for constant updates for future chapters. Also if you read my authors page you will get exclusive previews of future chapters.^_~ Well anyway there is only one way too get me to write faster.and that's by sending me reviews. The more reviews I have the faster I write.and the faster I write the faster the chapters get up. for the next chapter I got inspiration from Clay Aikens song called "Invisible, Invincible" don't ask how. Lately IV been listening too that song like crazy! well anyway here is a slight preview of the next chapter.
black ghost decides too finally launch his attack, and he ends up capturing Francoise. Meanwhile, Joe comes close too completely losing it, and the team starts too worry about him. Then the team receives a strange radio signal from a cave on the coast of Bermuda, so they send Joe out too investigate. And believe me is he in for a surprise.
Well that's for the future chapter. I hope your intested.
So review all please please please review!
Thank you
