A/N: Wow. This is actually a Lost Galaxy chapter! Just so you know, this is
AU, so the ending never happened, Kendrix didn't come back, and Karone's
still there. Now before you start plotting against me, remember it's a
Leo/Kendrix. Very OOC in my opinion! I had hoped to get another chapter of
'Carpe Diem' up too, but because of school, I'm lucky to have gotten this
up. I hope you like it!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I hate the 5th of the month. I hate it with a passion because this day six months ago, my heart shattered. This day six months ago, Kendrix died...
~*~
Your love is like a river
Peaceful and deep
Your soul is like a secret
That I never could keep
When I look into your eyes
I know that it's true
God must have spent a little more time on you
~*~
" I miss you Kendrix. You know, only such a big heart like yours would sacrifice your own life to protect another," Leo whispered to a wallet picture he had of her. He'd gotten it as a gag birthday present from Mike, but had secretly kept it ever since.
" I wish I'd gotten a chance to tell you how I felt, but Kai shared with me that you kind of knew. Was I that obvious?" Probably just as obvious as Kai was in liking Kendrix, but over time, he'd learned her heart wasn't to him, but the handsome stowaway. Leo got up and went to his bookshelf, before pulling all of the stuff on it off. Behind it all, on one of the shelf's sides, was a small wood engraving of a wild cat pouncing. Maya had carved it for him the night Kendrix had... well; it continued to remind him what he loved about her. Her determination, her courage, her beauty, her laughter... all of which he'd missed in the few months she'd been gone.
" Leo? Are you coming with Damon and me?" Karone's sweet voice called to him. He had promised her a trip to the ice park on Coori, when really it was just a trick so he could spend time with her.
' Damn. Just a little distraction, and you're already forgetting about Kendrix!' he thought to himself furiously, pounding his fist against the wall. But Karone was hardly a little distraction. She was gorgeous and stubborn and full of life... no. He shouldn't think such things.
" Sorry Karone, but I'm not going. Maybe Mike would like to go instead?"
" No. Mike is staying right here with his little brother today," Mike said, as he walked into the room, and looked at the depressed man.
" Especially since it's been 6 months today that Kendrix saved Cassie."
" It is?" asked Karone quietly, entering the room. Leo nodded and looked away from her.
" Would you like me to stay with you Leo? I wouldn't mind canceling our trip."
" No. I don't want you ruining your fun because of me. Go ahead and have fun... you too Mike."
" Sorry. You're stuck with me. As for you Karone, why not you let us have a guy talk, okay?" She had learned better from Andros and Zhane not to interfere, so with a somber gaze at Leo, she hurried out.
It was funny how different Karone and Kendrix really were, he thought. Where Kendrix was a listener, Karone was a talker, or where the first Pink Galaxy Ranger was shy, her successor was extroverted. Yet he love them both, in their own ways.
" Kendrix wouldn't have wanted you to be like this and you know it bro." Said Mike after a long silence, as he picked up the books from the floor.
" Who are you to think you know what Kendrix is- was like??"
" You may not know it, but I'd gotten to get to know her quite wel-"
" How so?" Leo interrupted, shooting a suspicious glance at his older brother.
" Well, while you were on some crazy doings, I was here with her. I wasn't stealing your girl if that's what you think... Did you love her?" Such a question had never been raised between the two, yet Leo knew the answer in a second.
" Yeah, I did. She was my heart, my soul. I don't know how I would have been without her, and I'm scared to wonder." Mike could tell he was saying the truth, no matter how cliché it was.
' Maybe true love does exist in our universe...'
" You know, I kissed her once. It was Christmas, and we ended up under the mistletoe together." Mike left his thoughts and turned back to Leo. His little brother had tearstains down his eyes.
" It was magical, and I remember wishing that it would never end. But it did. It ended," with a forceful rub, he cleaned off his tears.
" Sometimes it feels like she's sitting right next to me, wanting to comfort, but afraid to get to close. Do you think she's happy?"
" Of course. Anyone who's been able to love before they die are happy, and I think she did." Mike wrapped his arm around his brother and squeezed.
" I think that she did love you Leo, and ever getting the chance to love is pure happiness in its own."
" I think the same thing..." Both men looked up suddenly and were met by Kendrix's soft gaze.
" Kendrix??" Leo ran over and grabbed her.
" Is this a dream? You feel real, but-"
" No. I'm home to stay this time. The Quasar Saber saved me."
" I'll ask how later, but right now I'll leave you two alone," Mike gave her a one armed hug before slipping out of the room.
" I heard what you said... I felt the exact same feelings when we kissed on Christmas, but I didn't tell you because I thought you didn't care one way or another." She looked up at Leo, who just looked back with shining eyes.
" I love you Kendrix, and I've wanted to tell you that ever since I realized my feelings. As for how you came back, I don't care as long as you're home safe and well. All I want is your happiness." With that said, he leaned down and kissed Kendrix's soft lips.
" Remind you of Christmas?"
" No... it was better," all thoughts of past events and pain were swept away, while visions of tomorrow came back... just as Kendrix did.
~*~
I never thought that love could feel like this
Then you changed my world with just one kiss
How can it be that right here with me
There's an angel, it's a miracle
~*~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A/N: Oh heck, that was lame. Sorry everyone, I tried my best, but it came out rather... dumb. Wow. All I can say is since when is Mike so philosophical? Next up: Either a TJ/Cassie or a Trini/Jason.
rain: No, Totally Talented is just fine, thank you for the compliment! It's not that I don't like Cassie/Phantom, it's just I never saw any episodes with them, so how can I make a believable chapter? But then again, I just did a Leo/Kendrix with the same pretenses... oh well. *blushes* I just pick out songs I like. I'm sure it's just luck that they match...
redwolf: I tried to research Ryan/Kels, but I didn't find any images or anything about them. Sorry!
Psychotic chaos: Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, and okay. I've begun writing a Trini/Jason, but whether it's going to be good or not...
Debbie: I know it went fast, and I tried to make it as long as possible, but time constraints make everything difficult, hence why I'm posting this at 11:44 at night.
Please Review!
