A/N: This was intened to be the actual wedding chapter but I apologize since I couldn't write it without including this chapter as well. I have taken the time to realize that this is supposed to be a romance fan fic and after reading it, I'm wondering "where's the actual romance at?". So this chapter is just about Hibiki and DIta considering the thought they haven't been alone together for a while. I promise, the next chapters won't lag as much and will give you what you want. Review and tell me what you think about the story thus far.

Chapter Twenty-Four: One last moment together...

Hibiki sat on his bed, laughing and joking along with Duero and Bart. This was the first time he had ever heard Duero laugh but he quickly felt it naturally.

"Imagine Duero with a women. Oh, Parfait!" yelled Bart.

Utter silence.

Hibiki broke out into a hysteric laugh, as he felt his numb body fall to the floor. He held his stomach as couldn't control his laughter. That was funny, Duero romantically involved with Parfait was a priceless image he could imagine in his mind. Duero himself laughed at the whole thing.

"It's funny you mention that actually. She says she wants to try to make a baby with me." he said seriously. Hibiki stopped quickly and sat up, he and Bart stared at Duero. They looked at each other and broke out into a laugh. Even though they both believed it, just the thought of it was hilarious.

"Well, at least I'm really not alone in this venture." said Hibiki as he stood from his bed. "I'll be in the showers it anyone needs me."

Hibiki left into the another section of the men's part of the ship. He needed to let off some steam, laughing only did so much. He went into the men's wash area but was stunned when an overhanging sign hit him in the face.

"Out of order?" he read aloud. Just then, Parfait appeared behind him, waving a wrench in his face.

"Yes sir, but don't worry. You can use the women's if you like." she said slyly. Hibiki cringed at the thought, he didn't like the idea of that. Imagining himself naked with other naked women had brought a picture of Dita to his mind as well. He shook his head,

"No, I don't think so." he muttered. Parfait made a face.

"Don't worry about it, everyone knows you're part of the family now. Some even consider you Mejarian, so no one will give you trouble." she said pushing him out the door. Hibiki thought for a moment, maybe it wouldn't be so bad. Besides, he needed a shower. Hibiki found himself in the middle of the hallway with a towel draped over his shoulders. Women these days were getting stranger and stranger, but he ignored it seeing as how it was natural for them. He walked slowly through the halls, making his way to the other side of the Nirvana. He had never really went far into their domain before, so he took a precaution by making up excuses in his mind if he was approached by anyone. Maybe he could say he was lost? Or that he left something? He could even explain the real situation... this was much harder than he thought. Moments later he was in front of the women bunker entrance, he took in a breath before entering. To his luck, no one was in there. He quickly checked his surroundings, looking around every corner to see if the coast was clear. Indeed it was, so he maneuvered himself with stealth to the showers. He would just take a 30 second wash down and dash through the door before anyone could notice. Yeah, that sounded right.

He entered into the shower area and noticed that he wasn't alone, at the other end of the rectangular room he noticed a women who was bathing herself. He whizzed around and was prepared to run off but was caught in the sights of the last person he thought he see here.

It was Dita.

"Hey, Hibiki! What are you doing running off? Come, let's take a shower together." she said cheerfully. Hibiki stood at the doorway, it was a very nice invitation. Before he could make up his mind he felt a moist pair of arms wrap around his neck.

"Come on... just the two of us, everyone else is at the bridge." she whispered into his ear. Hibiki grinned, he nodded.

As Dita went back over to the other side of the room, Hibiki found it much easier to undress for he didn't mind to show himself to Dita. He tossed his clothes at the foot of the door and walked over to Dita who watched him at the corner of her eye. She stared at his body but drew a question mark when they landed on his chest.

"Do you know, that you are growing breast?" she said touching his chest. Hibiki smiled.

"Dita, stop that! They're not that, it's muscle you dim wit!" he said moving her hand away. He turned on the shower valve and allowed the steaming water to pour over his body. Wow, these were much better than the ones the men had. The atmosphere was much more welcoming.

"Hibiki? Can you do something for me?" said Dita as she moved closer to him. Hibiki looked at her.

"Sure, what do you need?" he asked. Dita looked down at her feet, it was rather awkward for her to ask this but she just had to know this for herself.

"Could you touch me?"

"What?"

Dita felt a recoil with his response, she knew he would say that.

"What do you mean, touch you?" he asked. Dita tried to place a smile on her face. She craved for him even more.

"I want you to kiss me..." she said softly.

Hibiki was slightly taken aback by the whole thing, not because of the question really but rather where they were. They were in the showers for crying out loud! But he too felt like he needed to renew his affection for Dita. Not as a man, but as her lover. He went behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist hugging her wet skin. He placed his head over her shoulder, feeling her wet hair tickle the edge of his nose.

Dita slowly turned her head until she felt her lips hit his, very gently. They both felt a familiar spark that surged through them. He withdrew, he felt his body heat up.

"Do you remember how we did it?" she asked very quietly. He nodded. Dita leaned out of his grip and into the wall were she placed her arms over her head. Hibiki followed, unwillingly to let his gaze to leave her naked body. Letting his hormones take over, he knew he had to take advantage. He grabbed her wrists and pinned them to the marble wall, he stared deeply into her blue eyes. He watched them, seeing his future unravel within them in an heartbeat. He leaned in and touched her lips with his but didn't go all the way. He didn't want to let her have it all in one shot before he had his fun. He nuzzled her neck gently making her skin rise with goose bumps. He closed the gap between their bodies resting his chest on hers. Dita wrapped her leg around his thigh, making Hibiki sense that she was beginning to guide him which he hated. Instead, he pressed his lips against hers and without warning, opened her mouth by placing his tongue inside it. He was surprised himself by the action but for some reason... it felt... so right to him. He took note of this new feeling that was dwelling within his mind. He explored every inch of her mouth, he felt her chest move up and down vigorously, hinting that she was breathing much harder. Not too soon, he felt the same.

"Take me again..." she said as she pulled away for a deeper breath. He released her wrists and grabbed her waist, with a little strength he picked her up and held her against the moist wall. Dita arched her back while placing her hands behind her head. She wanted to feel that special feeling again, she wanted to feel dirty. She wanted to feel alive. If he didn't do it soon, then she felt like she was going to explode.

"Hibiki! Please! Just do it..." she pleaded as tried to position herself in a way that she'll feel the mighty blow that she once did between her legs. She wanted it badly.

"Not yet, don't you want some fun?" he said caressing her breasts. Dita gritted her teeth as she let out a whimper. How she hated him for his determination. She felt a familiar sensation arise between her thighs, she couldn't control it any longer. She needed to feel it. Now.

Steam from the humidity of the air caught up with them, although Hibiki wasn't wet from actual water but from sweat. As well as Dita which seemed to intensify the mood. Breathing was becoming a chore now, since both of them were rarely breaking out of their passionate lip locking. He slid his hands from her waist down her back side, feeling her soft and very tender skin. Even after all these months, her skin felt the same as it once did that very day when their life's changed.

"Hibiki... please..." she whispered. She felt like she was going crazy just to feel same stimulant run through her body.

At last she got her wish.

She bit her bottom lip and shut her eyes. She gripped his shoulders and she hung her head back to feel every single cell in her body tingle with anxiety. This was what she longed for.

Alright, again i would like to apologize. This was not intended and i know the story is beginning to lag a bit. But, I'm trying to make the most use out of it. Sorry again.
