Part 4

The next morning, for Ranru, sounded like a quiet one. She slowly opened her eyes, and looked around her. She was at the same lake she was with Mikoto a while ago, in his arms. She looked up at his peaceful sleeping face, and pressed her head against his shoulder, then nuzzled it gently, causing the doctor to blink awake.

"Rise and shine, brown eyes." Ranru greeted in a teasing tone.

"Good morning to you too." Mikoto answered with a small smile. "How is my girl in yellow?"

She responded with a smile, as she gave him a gentle kiss. "Fine, just fine." She said softly, not taking her eyes off of him. Mikoto went for a move to try and stand, but her grip was too strong for the doctor, as she clung to his arm, looking innocent.

"You're not going anywhere, Dr. Nakadai." She teased.

Mikoto chuckled softly. "Fine with me…It wasn't anything important, anyway." He said with a smile. She giggled, and then ran a hand down his chest.

"Oh, Mikoto…" she breathed.

"What is it?" He asked gently, running his hand through her hair, and down her back. She only smiled up at him.

"I…I…" she started, stammering.

"Shh…" Mikoto whispered placing a finger on her lips. "I know…I love you, too." Ranru smiled as wide as she could, then rested her head against his chest, and closed her eyes, letting the beating of his strong heart relax her.


Meanwhile, Top Galer was watching from the clouds, nodding in approval. "Human…He actually has something to live for. Something worthwhile…" he recited. "His heart will beat until his dieing day, and she'll be there…" With its signature call, it flew off into the sun…
