Only two more weeks of school guys! Only two more weeks of school! After the last day of finals, I'll be dedicating most of my time to this story (as if I wasn't stressing over it enough). I wanted to thank MizzFreestyle for helping me cure my writer's block, you gave me such good ideas, although, they're kind of sad. :( Oh well. Thanks anyway!

Riku and Kurisu walked out of the park together, hand in hand. They walked around the beach, barefooted for a while. They both loved the feeling of the sand in between their toes. It was such a squishy yet soothing feeling. One would think that the two were made for each other, they were so alike.

They didn't exchange many words since they had left the park. Neither of the two knew what to say. But, Kurisu couldn't help but ask something. She had been wondering about it all day.

"Riku?" she asked, turning her head towards him.

"Ya?" he asked, still looking forward.

"I hope you don't mind me asking, but, did we ever like, you know, have sex?"

Riku stopped in his tracks, thinking. There wasn't any sense of embarrassment in the subject. He then sighed and sat down, letting the waves splash up to his feet. "Sit down, Kuri-chan."

She obeyed and sat down next to him, still looking to him for an answer. He stared out into the horizon for a minute or two, gathering his thoughts.

"Do you want a simple yes or no or do you want me to go into detail?" he asked, still looking out there.

"Please, tell me everything." She replied, hoping he would stop stalling.

He nodded and sighed, "We've slept together a few times. Each time, I wanted to try it, but you said no. You said that you wanted to wait until marriage. You wanted to be safe, just in case something would have happened. Each time I asked you, wanting it more and more, but each time, you told me the same thing, 'I can't. It's not in my morals to do so. I have to wait until marriage.' I couldn't force you to do anything you didn't want. So in short, no, we haven't had sex." He looked to her with a slight smile, "But I wouldn't mind it now."

She shook her head, "I hate to break it to you, but I won't until I'm married."

Riku looked past her and towards where the little island with the paopu trees was and asked, "Would sharing a paopu be enough for you?"

"Well, it is like marriage so I guess it's good enough, at least, that's what Sora told me." She replied.

Riku then sprung up like a kangaroo and grabbed Kurisu by the wrist. "Well, let's go then."

"What? NOW!" she asked, shocked.

"Ya. You said it's good enough for you, so why not now?" he pleaded, trying to pull her up.

"But…"

"Come on! It's not like we don't know each other! I've known you since, well, I've known you for years!"

She finally agreed and stood up, trying to keep from being dragged towards the island. Once they got there, they sat upon the branch of the famous 'bent' paopu tree. Riku picked the freshest paopu form the tree and took a bite out of it. He handed it to her then sat down and put his arm around her shoulders, eliminating any space between them. Kurisu stared at it for a moment, thinking about what she was about to do. This was the biggest decision she would make in her entire life. She couldn't help the fact that she loved him with all her heart, but would it last? She could barely remember anything of him, and how could she trust that he was telling the truth?

She put the paopu to her mouth, taking in the starry aromas. She gave Riku the benefit of the doubt and took a bite. It had an apple/lemonish type taste too it and she savored every bit. Once she swallowed the bite of fruit, she felt a tingly sensation inside her, especially in her left arm. Riku felt the same thing, except in his left arm. Almost suddenly, two tribal tattoos consumed their arms. They were matching, one seeming to make the other whole if put together. It was almost like a friendship necklace a little girl would get for her best friend out of one of those quarter machines. Both of them examined their arms, surprised at how quickly it got there. They then looked at each other in the eyes. It seemed like they could read every thought and memory inside them. It was then that Kurisu knew that everything Riku had told her was true. As she pictured every memory he had of her, she began to remember as well. Her amnesia was cured.

After a few minutes of staring and silence, they found each other engrossed in a passionate kiss. Never had they felt so in love. They both knew that this love would last forever.
