Michelle smiled as she watched Hotaru and Duo drive off. She was so happy for her little firefly.
She sighed and began to prepare for her night classes.
She had started giving night classes to adults, diving them into two groups: advanced and beginners, a little over two weeks ago and they were going to start on the human body. Tonight was the advanced group.
She had had to beg Yaten to be the model, saying that she couldn't be since she was supposed to be teaching. He had refused to model naked, so she had finally had to insult his man-hood. Saying: 'I guess you must have nothing down there.or some unfortunate rash.'
He had been so furious, that he had agreed to do it, saying: 'I'll be there, don't worry!! You just tell me what to do and I'll do it.'
She couldn't help but feel bad for what she had said, but it had got him to do it and that made every hateful word worth it.
"Okay. I'm here." He said, still angry about what she had said over the phone.
"Okay.you're early, so you don't have to strip down just yet. You can wait until some of the students start to arrive. Oh, and it's all adults."
He let out an angry sound that sounded very much like a growl.
****
Yaten stood in front of the class in nothing but a bathrobe. Michelle was telling them about different sketches and paintings involving the naked form of a human.
"Alright. I'm going to be at my desk if you need me. I'm going to let you all do your own thing tonight." She said and went to her desk in the corner behind Yaten.
"You may begin." She said and bit her cheek so she didn't laugh as Yaten took the robe off.
Occasionally she would glance up at her class. All of the single women were looking at him suggestively as were some of the married women. Some of the men were looking at him with envy.
She bit her finger to keep from laughing. ~Well, I guess that proves me wrong.~
She finally got up and started going around to look at some of the work that they had done. All of them were good pictures.
A lot of them captured his facial expression perfectly and a lot of them excellent views of his.masculinity.
Michelle was bright red by the time she got to the other side of the room. She hadn't expected all of the single women to find him attractive.
(A/n: #HEAD# @Heart@)
#Sure, he's gorgeous, but he's also arrogant, hot-headed, and irritating.# Her head said, but then her heart kicked in, disagreeing.
@Yeah, but he's got a right to be proud of himself. He's a warrior, and warriors can't be doubtful of themselves when on the battlefield. He's temperamental, but so are Amara and Raye and they're your best friends. He's only irritating to you because he made more in the modeling business. Come one Michelle, you know you find him attractive yourself.@
#I do not!!!#
@You can't tell me that!! I'm your heart for crying out loud!!@
Michelle had to admit, he was incredibly attractive and sweet at times. He had her respect on the battlefield.how was everyday life any different?
She sighed. ~Okay.I admit it, I'm crushing.~
****
Yaten sighed as he watched her go around the room. She was studying their work, praising and criticizing when either was needed.
#She's so annoying!#
@Oh, you know you like her.@
#Do not!#
@Yes you do!! She's talented, fiery, beautiful, sweet, charming, and strong. Perfect, I believe is the word.@
#Shut up!!#
@Not until you agree with me.@
#Oh alright, I like her!! She's.perfect. She'd never like me. She hates me.#
@No she doesn't. Just flirt with her.after she apologizes for this humiliation.@

"Alright, I'll see you all Thursday night! Have a good night."
Yaten came out of the closet, buttoning up his shirt as the last person left.
Michelle burst out laughing. She ended up having to grab her side, due to her laughter.
Yaten was glaring at her.
"Did-did you see their-their faces?!" She said and laughed even harder, sliding down to her knees.
"It's not funny. Now I see why you said that, just to get me to do it!"
"It worked didn't it!" She said and began to beat on the floor.
Yaten began to chuckle. Soon, it became a full-blown laugh as he helped her up.
"Well, from the look on their faces, I must be wrong." She said and kissed his cheek. "Thanks." She said and turned to start cleaning up.
Yaten grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. He kissed her gently on her lips, sending her head spinning and her heart soaring.
She began to kiss back, allowing her eyes to close.
After sometime, they began to deepen the kiss that had them both rocked.
An aquamarine light filled the room, going from her head to his.
**
"Lord Yaten." She said and bowed.
"Princess Michelle." He said and bowed also.
They were alone in the library of her home, the Palace of the Sea.
She let out an enchanting giggle as he caught her up and kissed her lovingly.
"I've missed you." He whispered.
"I've missed you too." She said, holding him close, not wanting to let him go.
"When the war is over, we'll let everyone know. Then, we'll be married. You will be my wife." He said and kissed her fingertips.
"That is what I wish for with all of my heart. I wish to be your wife with every fiber of my very being." She said quietly and just stayed in his strong arms.
**
They stared at each other.
She began to cry and laugh at the same time.
He smiled and pushed her hair back gently. "What is it?"
"This whole time we've been practically enemies, and we used to be lovers in our old life. When I heard that you had died, I wept until I thought I would die out of pain and sorrow. No matter how much I cried, I couldn't get the pain of my loss to stop growing." She said and buried her head in his shoulder.
Yaten held her close. "Don't worry. This time, we're stronger and we'll defeat Beryl. We will get married this time and you will be my wife."
Michelle smiled and held him closer. "I wish for that with every fiber of my being.past, present, and, God forbid, if we don't win, my future being will yearn for you until we meet again."
"I love you, my darling."
"I love you too."
They stayed there a little while later, simply holding the other, not wanting to let the other one go.
