Reunion and revealed feelings
Chapter 8: The longed moment
At first there was darkness but soon everything started to take shape. Her vision was still blurry but she recognized the room... she was on the Going Merry.
Kasai got into a sitting position but she started to feel dizzy; she covered her face with her hands and started massaging her forehead.
The door opened but she didn't hear it: "Kasai!"
When she saw who it was she smiled: "Ace!"
He closed the door and approached her: "Thank God you're all right!"
"I also have to thank all of you and my family." she replied.
"Your family? You saw them?"
"Yes. And they were the ones that made me listen to what you and the others said."
"Yokata." said Ace.
"I suppose you want to know about my powers... Do you remember anything about the Jade Mera Mera no Mi?"
"Well, long ago it was as common as any Akuma no Mi but it got more and more rare until it became extinct."
"Until it was THOUGHT extinct. There still are a few left. I found one, but not knowing it was an Akuma no Mi, I ate it. That's how I got the powers I have."
"More important right now is that you're okay!"
"And I have you guys to thank for that."
"What are friends for, eh?"
At that remark, Kasai's face turned sad and she took her gaze from Ace: "Yeah... friends..."
Ace cupped her face with one of his hands and turned her head to face him. When their gazes met once more, their lips touched in a soft kiss; they both longed for this moment. Kasai, acting on impulse, was pushing herself toward Ace and soon she found herself on top of him, on the floor.
The kiss ended and they stayed embraced a few minutes, until Ace remembered Kasai wasn't the healthiest woman in the Grand Line. That's when he got up, picked Kasai into his arms and put her back into bed.
He covered her and kissed her once more: "You have no idea how gland I am that you're all right! The others will be too. I'll go get them."
And he left the room in search for the Straw Hat Crew, leaving Kasai smiling because her dream came true.

Tell me, did you like it or did you like it?
I know, the last two chapters were kinda short... I didn't have any more ideas... I kinda consumed them all in the beginning chapters, but I think it turned out okay? What do think?
