88 Last Time 88

The strands in your eyes

that color them wonderful

stop me and steal my breath

Minako smiled as she and Yami walked hand in hand at the park. She was happily eating an ice-cream cone he had bought for her. A gentle wind blew on their faces as they passed the playground area. Everything just seemed to peaceful now. Kids were playing without a care in the world. Everyone knew the monsters were gone thanks to the senshi. The news was all over the sight after their group had left. People were shocked that the female fighters were actually in their town.

Looking over when she felt a light squeeze on her hand she found a smiling Yami. "You look a little too cheery." he said.

"I'm always this way after we defeat an enemy. Better to have all the fun now, before another one comes."

"You think their will be another."

Minako nodded. "Yeah, as long as there is good, their will always be evil." the pharaoh nodded in understanding. Then, before she could react, snatched her ice-cream out of her hand.

"Hey that's mine!"

He just smirked, "yeah but I paid for it."

"Yami! Give it back!" she shouted as the guy took off. She chased after him. That was her favorite kind of ice-cream so she damn well get it back! Yami just laughed as the blonde chased him around. Purposely he began to slow down. It wasn't long before the girl was almost upon him. Right when she was about to grab him, he stopped and turned to face her. Not having time to stop herself she crashed into him and both fell to the ground.

Yami just laughed at her surprised face. Minako was on top of him, and once she realized that her face became beet red. Hearing the laughter of the colorful haired teen her eyes narrowed and she snatched her ice-cream back before getting off him. The two sat on the grass looking out over the park. Yami could tell she was still mad, since she hadn't looked over at him.

"You're not exactly having fun if you're angry at me." he stated.

Minako turned her glare back on him. "Don't twist my words around." he just shrugged and looked away. After a moment he felt a small weight on his shoulder. Turning his crimson eyes he found the blonde had rested her head on him. He smiled and kissed her forehead. Minako looked up at him and returned the favor only on his cheek. The two entwined their fingers together as they watched the sun start to go down.

And tell me that we belong together

Dress it up with the trappings of love

I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips

instead of the gallows of heartache

that hang from above

88888

And I'll be your cryin' shoulder

I'll be love suicide

and I'll be better when I'm older

I'll be the greatest fan of your life

The raven haired priestess was packing up a few of her things. In two more days their vacation would be over, and they would have to go back to Tokyo. It wasn't like any of them could convince their parents, guardians, or grandparents to move here. Though even if her grandpa had said yes it wouldn't matter. Marik lived in Egypt, not Domino. He would still have to leave her.

Why should she care though? It's not like this hasn't happened to her before. Though Marik had a better excuse then her dad and the other guys. Not only could he not stay because of his profession, but his family lived over there as well. He couldn't just abandon them. That would make her feel even worse. Still, it did hurt.

And rain falls angry

on the tin roof

as we lie awake in my bed

A knock at her door drew her attention away. "Packing already?" came Marik's voice. Without looking up she just nodded.

"I don't want to be like Usagi, or minako who wait 'til the last minute, and end up forgetting something." she said with a sliver of a smile on her face. Arms wrapped around her shoulders and she stopped her work.

"Rei. . . are you mad at me?" she heard him ask. Her heart ached at the hurt in his voice.

Her smile vanished and she sighed. "No I'm just. . . I'm angry at myself." Marik was a little shocked at this.

"Why?"

"Cause, I promised myself I wouldn't get attached to another guy. And I did. And now, we have to leave each other. It's just like all those other times. I'm just so stupid." she said, tears rolling down her face. Marik turned her around and hugged her.

you're my survival,

you're my living proof

my love is alive and not dead

"You're not stupid Rei. And just because we're apart, doesn't mean I'll stop loving you. I'll come and visit any chance I get. Maybe I can even convince Isis to move to Tokyo."

Rei sobbed into his shoulder, not sure whether to believe his words. "But what if you can't visit? What if I never get to see you again."

Marik shook his head, and slightly pulled away from her. He then held up something silver. It was a necklace, much like the one he bought for Isis with her awhile back. But instead it had the Kanji symbol for love and had two rubies instead of sapphires. "Take this as a promise of us seeing each other again."

"Marik, that's. . . beautiful." the raven haired girl said, gazing at the jewelry. He clasped it around her neck and smiled.

"Well?"

Rei smiled and gave him a kiss on the lips. "Ok, we'll see each other again soon." Marik smiled and leaned in, giving her a more passionate kiss.

"Hotaru. Wake up!" came a cheery voice. The violet eyed girl stirred and slowly opened her eyes. Usagi's bright face came into view. Seeing the younger girl blink in confusion, the blonde giggled. "About time. We were getting worried about you."

Usagi had a few band-aids on her and her forehead was patched up. Mamoru was standing behind her, leaning on the door frame. He smiled when Hotaru looked over at him. Turning her attention back to the blonde she asked, "are you ok? What happened?"

"I'm fine. And we had used up all of our powers and energy in the fight. We've been out for three days. I just woke up this morning, and now the suns setting."

"Oh." Hotaru turned to look out the window and then realized something. She was sitting up. A strong arm held her back, while another held up her legs. Gazing up she found she was being held by Alister. The gray eyed duelist smiled warmly at her and she blushed.

Usagi giggled. "Well I think I'll leave you two love birds alone now. Dinner will be ready soon ok? Bye!" she called then grabbed her fiance's arm and dragged him out. Closing the door behind them. Now Hotaru was really red.

I've dropped out, burned up,

fought my way back from the dead

tuned in, turned on,

remembered the things that you said

"You ok Hotaru?" Alister asked. Letting a smile settle on her face she nodded. Why let her bubbly blonde haired friend bug her? Especially when she was in the arms of the guy she loved. With that she snuggled closer to him.

"Sorry if I worried you." she said.

"Worry is a major understatement. I was practically terrified that you wouldn't survive." she couldn't help but giggle.

Looking up again she said, "sorry. I'll try not to terrify you again." Alister rolled his eyes.

"Sure you will. First there was that youma, then Dartz, and now this. I seriously doubt this will be the last time you're in danger."

She nodded sadly. "Yeah, but I'm a senshi. We have to put ourselves at risk to save the world."

Alister only sighed and held her closer. He didn't like the idea of her having to go out and fight these youma and demons, but it wasn't like he could stop her. When he gazed down he found the violet eyed girl looking out the window as the sun was half set. Bright orange, yellow, and pink filled the sky. Along with bits of light purple and blue. She leaned her head on his shoulder and was smiling. Alister couldn't help but just stare at her. She looked so beautiful in the light.

It wasn't long 'til Hotaru caught him staring and looked up. "What?"

"Nothing, I just feel so lucky to have you." she arched a brow.

"You sure about that?" he nodded. This only caused her to blush again. Hotaru then got off him and walked out onto the balcony. A soft wind blew onto her face and lifted her hair slightly. She was in a white sun-dress. Probably to help bandage the cuts on her legs up. Resting her hands on the railing she looked out over the bit of country side and the start of the city. It's lights were coming on and the buildings were reflecting the suns last rays of light.

A sparkle shone in her eyes when she felt Alister wrap his arms around her petite waist. Her head fell back onto his chest and the smile returned. Perhaps it was she who was lucky to have him. Then again both had, had their fair share of lonely and friendless times. She remember how Alister had tried to be her friend, and when he said they couldn't just to save her. The poor guy had been so lost and confused. Funny how everything turned around and they were now together as a couple.

And I'll be your cryin' shoulder

I'll be the love suicide

And I'll be better when I'm older

I'll be the greatest fan of your life

The gray eyed duelist brought her attention back. " it's getting cold. We should go inside." looking out she saw the sun had long since set. The city's glow lit up the sky now, along with a few stars.

"Just one more minute." she pleaded and turned around in his hold, resting her hands on his chest. Alister looked down at her and smirked.

"Ok, but only if you give me something."

"What will that be?" Hotaru asked knowing all to well what he wanted. He leaned towards her as she began to close her eyes. Instinctively one of his hands went up to gently hold the back of her head. One second later his lips landed on her's in a sweet tender kiss. Hotaru's arms went up and wrapped around his neck. A shiver went up her spine as he nibbled on her lower lip, silently asking for entrance. She complied and felt him instantly begin to explore her mouth. After a few more moments the two pulled away.

Alister rested his forehead on hers and just stared into her eyes. "It's been a minute now." she threw him a glare but smiled none the less. Hand in hand the two went back inside to great all the others who were gathered for dinner. Summer would soon be over, but not the bonds between the groups of people.

And I'll be your cryin' shoulder

I'll be the love suicide

And I'll be better when I'm older

I'll be the greatest fan of your life
