Hello peeps! Sorry for not updating in a bit! It's just that I've been really busy with school and whatnot now that my track out is over. (cries) Ah well...

So... yeah... I've been busy with that, and i've been unable to get on the computer that has all my stories saved on it for a few reasons, so i haven't typed very much. But now thankfully i found time to write the last chapter of this one, so i do hope you enjoy it! THE LAST CHAPTER, PEOPLE!

Anywho, I hope that the beginning of this chapter wasn't too boring... The action doesn't really start until the end (winks). Oh, did i just say that aloud? Heheheh... And speaking of which, hope Brago and Sherry didn't seem to OOC! I was kinda in a hurry to write it so... Hope its not too rushed! PLEASE TELL ME IF IT IS!

Now.. let's get on with the chapter:-)

Disclaimer: I don't own Zatch Bell. I've been saying this for a while now. And don't you dare sue me for I AM SAYING I DON'T OWN IT! LEAVE ME IN PEACE! And besides, if I did own it... Well, let's not go there.

(Oh, and this byfar is the longest chapter i've done in a story -- including this one. So happy reading! XD)

The Days of the Week

Chapter 7

Solitary Saturday

A breeze from an open window drifted into the room and brushed against Sherry's face. With a grumble, Sherry rolled over onto her side to avoid the cold light wind from hitting her face.

That's when she felt a different warmth beside her…

Slowly, she opened an eye to observe what could be causing the heat. Her eyes widened in shock and she let out a small gasp as she saw the dark mamodo sitting on the bed right next to her. Right in front of her was Brago with his back leaning against the wall, just like last night.

After hearing the small noise that the blonde made, Brago turned his head to look down at Sherry. A blush scattered over her face as she realized just how close they were… Sherry was almost right against the mamodo, for she was rolled over onto her side facing him.

"Uh… G-good morning, B-Brago…" stammered the blonde. She looked up at him with her azure eyes and he gazed back. Quickly, she turned her head away in a different direction to avoid looking at him in the eye. Her blush deepened.

And again, the same tugging feeling arose inside of her chest, and she flushed even more. Brago turned his head away and swallowed. Why again did he come to sit on her bed this morning…? Hell, something was seriously wrong with him.

Quietly he got up off the bed and kept his back facing Sherry, who looked up at him from her position on the cot.

"You slept well." commented Brago sheepishly. He said nothing afterwards, and the two were greeted by an awkward silence.

Sherry sat up in her bed and just stayed there with an uncomfortable feeling inside her throat. Then after a minute she looked up at the mamodo and tried to speak, but closed her mouth as no sound came out.

"I suppose I'll leave you to get ready for today." spoke the mamodo. Before Sherry could say anything else, he walked right out the door and into the hallway. Sherry just looked down at her bare feet after he left, and placed her head in her hands.

"What is wrong with me…?"

Meanwhile, Brago was downstairs waiting for his book-reader to hurry up and finish getting ready for the day. He sighed as he glanced out the window. Why did he get atop Sherry's bed? Why had he been acting so strange around the blonde all week? Why was he feeling unrecognizable emotions? What the hell was wrong with him? And first of all, why had he been brushing his hand against Sherry's face?

What was she doing to him to make him act like this?

He wasn't supposed to feel emotion, nor was he supposed act strangely. The only thing that was meant to happen was for him staying the quiet, dark character that he was. Now he found himself beginning to talk more around the girl… which was very odd indeed.

Soon after a few minutes, the blonde walked downstairs and looked over at Brago, but said nothing. She headed over to where the kitchen was located and disappeared behind the door. The mamodo sighed and closed his eyes.

Perhaps he could think of a few reasons why he had been acting strange around Sherry while she was in the other room…

But before the mamodo could even start thinking, the blonde re-emerged from the door with a small piece of toast in hand and walked over to him. "Brago," she began. Brago popped an eye open to look at her.

"What?"

"You're just going to be by yourself today," stated the blonde. The mamodo gave a confused look and tilted his head to the side. So the other continued. "I have a few things I want to take care of for a while… So I'll be running around doing a few errands. You can go off on your own today if you want, though I'm sure you wouldn't want to hang around me all day while I'm running out and about." A small laugh was emitted from her lips, but nothing really seemed that funny. "I'll be back later in the night, and then we can go find a hotel to stay in so that way we can start searching for more books tomorrow."

The mamodo nodded his head, but thought to himself. He wouldn't mind being with her… Mentally he kicked himself.

"So…" Sherry droned on. She glanced over at the mamodo and could have sworn that she saw the slightest hint of disappointment in his eyes. Now why would he be disappointed, she wondered.

Maybe he's upset that he won't be able to be with you today…. She shook away the thought. Now why would he be unhappy that he didn't get to be with her? After all, he did say that humans were pathetic and weak. I'm sure he's happy he gets a break from me.

But he hasn't called me a pathetic human all weak, thought the blonde. She shook away that thought, too. Come on, Sherry, don't be thinking of stupid things.

"Sherry,"

Hearing the mamodo call out her name snapped Sherry out of her thoughts. She blinked a few times before looking over at the mamodo in front of her. "Uh, yes?"

The mamodo opened his mouth to speak, but like Sherry had done earlier, he found that he couldn't think of anything to say. So he closed his mouth again and began to walk off. "It's nothing. I'll see you later."

Quickly, he turned around to open the door behind him and walked outside. When Sherry opened the door to look back after him, he had already disappeared. She sighed as she shook her head and stepped out of the house as well. With a quick glance over to the side, Sherry headed over to where her limo was out in the front and hopped in the back seat. The car soon started and drove away.

Brago, who was in a tree watching the blonde leave, gave a sigh. Today was going to be very uneventful…

But unbeknownst to the mamodo, the day was going to be eventful. It would forever change what he thought of a certain blonde…

-o-o-o-o-o-

The limo containing Sherry sped by along the highway quickly, heading to a few places where the blonde wished to go to. She looked out the car-door window and let out a deep sigh.

Her mind then wandered over to a question she had been pondering about all morning. Why was Brago next to her on her bed that morning? He had been doing that at night for the past few days, but…. Did… Did he sleep with her without her knowing..?

Physically she shook her head, trying to make the thought go away for how awkward that sounded. Not only did it just sound slightly awkward, but to Sherry, it was wrong. Why the hell would Brago sleep with her? Why would he sleep with anybody, for that matter? It just wasn't him!

She blushed as she thought more about it. Taking her hands, she covered her face and groaned. Don't think like this Sherry, she thought. Don't think like this…

After a while the limo pulled to a stop and the blonde removed her hands from her face. A few seconds passed and then her butler arrived at her door and opened it for her.

"Here you are, Miss Sherry." said the older man and the blonde nodded.

Stepping out of the car, the blonde looked around at the store before her. She had to run a few errands in order to prepare for the new journey with Brago that started tomorrow. After all, the next day was the end of her vacation that her companion had granted her, so she should at least be prepared.

Funny to think that only a week ago her vacation started and that then Brago wouldn't even go near her bed, unlike when he started sitting on it before she slept on Wednesday night. And even during then, she wasn't as close to the mamodo as she was now. Brago had started to talk just a little more and he seemed to be more relaxed, for it was somewhat of a vacation for him as well.

She continued on her way up to the store, and after a while she reached the inside and looked around. There were a few people walking around here and there, but the store wasn't too crowded.

So she hurried along and made her way as she headed to a certain part of the store where a few cloths were for sale. Well, she had to have something to help her clean up after battles. Who knows? She or Brago could be bleeding…

But the mamodo wouldn't let her help him get cleaned up if he was hurt. Even if he was dying he wouldn't let her help him. Or at least that's what she always thought, for he seemed to be the distant type; though…He wasn't so distant anymore.

Sherry absolutely enjoyed it when he'd talk to her, and maybe even sit down right next to her. When the two first met, she wanted to be as far away from him as possible because he was a mamodo, and a mamodo had taken Koko away from her. But now all it seemed like she wanted was for him to be near her.

She really did love it…

…Love?

Why had she just thought that? Just a second ago, it was she absolutely enjoyed it. Not loved. What caused her to think that?

Turning around, she saw a few cloths, and the blonde began to browse through them. She didn't want to buy a really nice one, for it would ruin the fabric and also the normally pretty design on the front. A plain green, blue or white one would do…

As she skimmed through the different ones her eyes wandered around the room and she noticed a shirt that had a fuzzy black look to it. Kind of like Brago's, she thought.

"Brago…"

The name escaped her lips involuntarily, and her hand flew to her mouth as if covering it. That was totally unexpected. She shook her head and continued to pick a few fabrics to buy, and soon she made her choice and headed to the counter.

After waiting in line for somebody to finish up, Sherry walked up to the person at the cash register, paid for what she wanted, and then walked off.

With a sigh Sherry began to walk down the halls and browse through different stores. She almost wished Brago was there with her, even if all he would do was make unnecessary comments like, "Are you done yet?", "This is pointless," or maybe even "We could be training for the battles ahead of us instead of buying worthless items."

That would be Brago speaking all right. Sherry smirked and continued along her way. No… she didn't just almost wish Brago was there, she thought, she really wanted him to be there.

As she thought this, she stopped walking and began to think. Now really, what was the point in telling the mamodo that she'd be by herself all day and that he wouldn't need to be with her when all she would be doing was wanting him? So strange… Why was she all of a sudden growing a desire for Brago? Did… Did she…?

Her eyes widened, and a quiet gasp escaped her lips. Nobody heard her, but that didn't matter. What did matter was that she had just confessed in her mind on how she felt for Brago.

How did this happen, she thought? How? Of all people… it was him! Of all people, it was Brago!

Since when had she been feeling a great affection for the mamodo companion that she always traveled with? When did it all start? So it really was true then.

She was in love.

-o-o-o-o-o-

The dark mamodo wandered through the forest, trying to clear his mind out, but the only thing he could think about was Sherry. Why was she stuck in his mind? Why was she the only thing on his mind all day? Ever since he sat on her bed that morning, he had been constantly preoccupied about her.

"Damn it, what's wrong with me?" Brago said aloud with irritation in his voice. "Why the hell am I thinking about her only?" the mamodo spoke angrily to himself. With a growl, Brago lightly punched a nearby tree with his frustration, and almost knocked it over (He didn't punch it extremely hard.).

It seemed that, also like Sherry, all Brago wanted was to be next to the blonde and in her company. Yet, he didn't know why. He just wanted to be next to her, to be able to look into her azure eyes and to talk to her…

Mentally he kicked himself. Now was not the time to be thinking sentimentally.

His heart gave another tug as he continued to think about the certain blonde book-reader. It was almost like he was suffocating because it felt as if something inside him was pulling at his heart and making him think even more about what was going on.

With more frustration he growled and slumped onto the ground. Maybe if he tried to clear his mind and meditate a little his annoyances would go away… So he closed his eyes and tried to calm down.

But after a few more seconds his eyes popped back open and the mamodo frowned. If meditating didn't work, then something was definitely wrong with him. But what? He wasn't sick or anything, and the only times he acted strange was when he was with or thinking about Sherry.

Then it hit him.

His eyes widened and his ruby orbs contracted to the point where they could no longer be seen in his clouded eyes. Slowly, he attempted to stand up but it took him a moment, for the realization was now just trying to sink in. As soon as he was up, he stared at the ground in shock.

Why was fate being so cruel to him? First he had to battle in an alien world full of humans, then he found out that his powers didn't work properly, and then he found that he had feelings for one of the humans – his own human partner!

"What has happened to me…?" mumbled the mamodo to himself. He looked around and then continued to ponder about why he was feeling the way he was. It seemed that he had fallen for someone and both didn't know anything about it.

He began to think about how strange it was, and then began to judge about how cruel love could be when in fact it was supposed to be the greatest thing that has ever happened to a being. So… he was in love. In love with a human… in love with Sherry.

Sherry…

The mamodo began to think about whether Sherry had the same feelings he had, and now more than ever he wanted to speak with her. But what would he do when he finally saw her later on that day? He'd just have to find out…

-o-o-o-o-o-

Soon it was night; Sherry had completed all her errands and had packed all that she needed for the next day, while Brago was now heading to the Belmond's estate to locate his spell-caster.

Sherry was now just putting her tiny bag into the back of the limo when Brago walked up to her from behind. She didn't see nor hear him, so when she turned around she gave a small jump.

"Oh… it's just you." With a blush, the blonde turned her head around to look the other way, and then she brought her attention back to the mamodo. "Uh… I had eaten something already… Did – did you?" He gave a slight nod of his head. "OK then, no trouble with that."

The mamodo watched as Sherry spun back around to make sure she had everything one last time. And again she twirled back around to look at him.

"Are you ready to go?" she asked. Brago gave a funny look as she said that.

"I'm always ready. Why ask that?"

"Oh, yes, right." Turning her head around, the blonde called out for her butler and soon they were all in the car with the older man driving them off. Sherry was slightly leaning against the car door and looking ahead of her while Brago sat where he normally was, but was looking out the window pondering about different things. They sat in an uncomfortable silence for a long time.

Brago's eyes would occasionally wander off to look at the blonde next to him, but she would constantly avoid looking at him in the eye. He felt slightly upset that she wasn't talking to him, but soon that feeling went away when Sherry quietly spoke to him.

"I have found a hotel to stay in," she announced. "It was when you and I were out doing our own things. I made a reservation for us in this quaint hotel not too far off, so there's a room ready for us."

"Alright then," The mamodo nodded his head as he glanced back over at Sherry. She blushed and turned her head away. He gave an odd look as she did this. Had she found her own feelings, he wondered. She's acting peculiar…

After a while the limo pulled up to a small hotel and everybody stepped out, except for Sherry's butler. "Would you like me to pick you up anytime tomorrow, Miss Sherry?" asked the elder man.

"No, that won't be necessary. I'll be going out again tomorrow." she responded.

"Very well Miss Sherry. Good night." And with that, he drove off in the limo, leaving Brago and Sherry by themselves once again.

"Come on," said Sherry, and she led the mamodo up the pathway and into the small building. Up in the front office, the blonde saw nobody there but a few people who worked at the place.

"Ah, welcome to our hotel. How may I help you, ma'am?" asked one of the people there as she greeted the two newcomers.

"Yes, I'm Sherry Belmond, and I'd like to get my room please." responded the blonde. The other nodded and began to search for a key, which she handed to Sherry. After handing her the key, she glanced at Brago and smiled. "Are you with her?" she asked.

With a glare, Brago just gave a 'humph' and walked over to the side. Sherry spoke for the mamodo. "Um, yes, he's with me."

"OK then. Enjoy your stay." And with that, the lady walked off to go check a few things right before giving directions how to get to the room. Sherry and Brago walked for a minute in silence before they found the small entrance and unlocked the door and walked in.

They looked around, and saw that the room wasn't too small. It had a cozy feeling to it, with a deck out to the side and a bed in the middle of the room. A small kitchen was the closest thing to them, and a small sitting area was off to the side near where the deck was located. Sherry smiled and walked forward, setting her small bag on the floor.

"This is a nice place." she commented right before walking over to where the deck was. Looking outside, she saw a small pool but nobody was there. "That's strange," she mumbled. "it seems we are the only ones here. Either that or everybody is asleep."

"Good then." Brago glanced over to the blonde who gave him a questioning looked. "This way nobody would make a lot of noise and bother us." he explained.

"Oh, OK." The blonde turned her head around to stare out at the view. It was very quiet out, and a few bugs could be heard chirping outside. She turned around and sighed. "I guess I'll take a bath really quick." she announced, and headed into the bathroom right after picking up her small bag.

The mamodo watched as Sherry opened the door and walked in, locking it. He could hear her mumble a few incoherent things and then soon heard the sound of running water. He walked over to the deck and looked out, but turned away for the view was uninteresting. Sitting down on the bed, he glanced around the room and sighed.

About ten minutes had passed when the book-reader emerged from the bathroom with her hair dried out and dressed in her nightgown. She blushed as she looked over to where Brago was, and sat down next to him staring at her feet.

"Well… this was a fun week." she said quietly after a moment's silence. With a quick turn of her head she glanced up at Brago. "Did you think it was fun?" He shrugged, and the blonde gave a small laugh.

"I hated Monday though." Brago said. The blonde looked at him and smirked.

"Yeah… I didn't like it too much, either." she said. "I think I liked Thursday the best… What about you?" Sherry looked up at the mamodo with her cerulean eyes, waiting for an answer.

After a minute, he spoke. "I don't really have a favorite day."

"So I suppose you haven't really decided?"

He shook his head. "Not really."

She laughed again and another awkward silence followed. The blonde fiddled with her thumbs a little before giving another sigh. She leaned back and supported her weight with her hands behind her on the bed. Brago looked at the ground while she did this, but soon brought his attention to the one next to him.

He looked at her with his crimson eyes, and she gazed back. They stared into each other's eyes for a minute before the blonde suddenly turned her head away as a blush took an outbreak on her face. Sherry's hand trembled, and she almost leaped as the dark mamodo placed his hand against hers when he saw it shake.

"Brago..?" the blonde whispered. Her heart leaped and began pounding on her chest rapidly while she turned her head to the side and swallowed.

Brago kept his eyes keenly fixed on the blonde, and after a minute she turned her head to look back at him.

"Brago," she began, "I've really thought about this, but I found that today was really missing something." she said slowly. "I told you to go do whatever you wanted, and that we'd probably be happier if we were by ourselves today. Yet… I've found that I have been unhappy." The blonde looked into Brago's eyes as she said this, and she saw the mamodo nod his head. "You have too?" she asked, and he nodded his head again.

"I actually didn't like today, either." the dark being admitted. "It was… missing something."

Sherry gasped, and looked at the ground. Slowly, she looked back up into the mamodo's eyes and admitted one thing. "I found that all I really wanted today… was to be with you…" she said. This time, Sherry did not look away, but merely blushed as the mamodo nodded his head yet again. So he was the same way, she thought. Does he…?

Brago then leaned forwards slightly, which made Sherry's blush deepen. The mamodo leaned forwards to look at Sherry directly in the eye, and they were only mere centimeters apart. It seemed to get hotter in the room for Brago, and he felt that he had no control of his actions. He tried to pull away, yet his body wouldn't obey him.

"Sherry," he spoke softly. His face moved a little closer to the blonde's to the point where their noses were about touching. If any of them had made any sudden movements their faces would have collided. Both could feel the heat of the other's breath beat against their face.

"Brago," Sherry repeated her companion's name. Her movements also seemed to be a little uncontrolled, for she gazed into Brago's eyes and felt herself be pulled to him as their lips locked together.

Closing her eyes, the blonde rested her hands on the mamodo's shoulder as she continued kissing him. Her tongue slipped into his mouth and she slid it across some of his pointed teeth and explored the space provided. The two's tongues wrestled in the tilt of each other's heads, and soon the kiss ended. When Sherry opened her eyes she met Brago's ruby gaze.

There was an unsteady silence, and both the blonde's hands and eyes were shaking. She raised a trembling hand and placed it onto the side of Brago's face.

"I…I really want to say this, b-but I only found out… What I mean is…" she stammered; Brago placed his hand atop Sherry's over his cheek. The blonde looked deeper into his eyes, and finally confessed. "…I love you."

It took a minute for the mamodo to respond, and at first his face was neutral, but after a while it turned into somewhat of a contented smirk and he shook his head. He took his hand over Sherry's and removed it from his face. Brago set Sherry's hand by her side again as he placed his on Sherry's face like she had done to him.

"I… I want to say something, too…" It was Brago's turn to stammer. How was he going to confess? This was something he had never done before. "I don't know… how I want to say this, but… I'm unsure how…" he trailed off, and Sherry looked eagerly and anticipated on what he would say. Finally, after a minute, Brago redirected his attention and confessed as well. "I… I love you too…"

With watery eyes, Sherry latched herself onto the mamodo. She embraced him tightly, and slowly he returned the hug.

Soon it ended, and the two stared deeply into each other's eyes. Sherry then rubbed her face and with a yawn she blinked a few times. "Sorry," she said. "I guess I'm kinda tired."

The mamodo saw this and just nodded his head. "Lay down," he commanded.

Sherry blinked a few times before she hesitantly rested her back against the soft mattress. She watched as Brago removed his cape and threw it on the floor and clambered over her to the other side of the bed. He lay down next to the blonde and she rolled over to face the mamodo.

"I thought that you didn't sleep." she said and Brago smirked.

"I'll let this one time slide."

The blonde smiled, and cuddled up close next to the mamodo and closed her eyes. Brago wrapped an arm around her as he watched Sherry slowly fall asleep.

"Good night, Brago." the blonde mumbled before she drifted off into slumber. Brago gazed at her fondly, and as soon as she was asleep, he hesitantly closed his eyes and tried to doze off as well.

The two drifted off into slumber in each other's arms, waiting for the next day ahead of them to arrive. Sherry's one week vacation was over, and it was now time to go search for more mamodos to battle and more spell-books to burn. At least both of them now knew one thing… they now knew that they both loved each other and would always be there for the other. A happy ending indeed for the short, one week vacation…
