Joining of the C'tarl C'tarl and the Terran.

A/N: I hope you enjoyed the last chapter. Please Read and Review.
Aisha was still sobbing from the thought of seeing Jim in so much pain. Damn it Jim… she thought to herself, Why did you get hurt… Melfina walked in placing her hand on Aisha shoulder. She led Aisha into the next room so they could discuss what do to.
"Well," Gene started out, "Jim's lost a lot of blood, even if we could stop the bleeding, he wouldn't be able to live long." The room was silent for a short amount of time. "Jim has Blood type A. I have O, and Suzuka has A… We could give him blood." While Gene was talking, Aisha's mind was else where. She thought back to what Suzuka said earlier, "You already know how you two could be together, you just have to figure it out for yourself." What did she mean? Then it hit her, being a proud C'tarl C'tarl herself, why didn't she see it before. There are different Blood cells in a C'tarl C'tarl's blood that aid their long life spans. Although their Blood Types where different, a Terran's blood and a C'tarl C'tarls could mix successfully. Not only could she save her love's life, but also they could be together without having to worry about Jim dying before her. Aisha interrupted Gene and the other's conversation.
"I'll do it… I'll give my blood for him." She looked back at Jim.
"Well, that's a very honorable thing Aisha," Gene said, "But you ca-" Suzuka stopped him and whispered to him.
"Let her do it, it will be alright." She smiled then looked at Aisha and nodded to her. Gene nodded.
"Alright then, well we can do it here, we have to bring him to a hospital. Aisha, can you carry Jim to the car? Melfina, Suzuka, get the car started up. We have to move quickly."
------
They reached Heifong Memorial Hospital, the group rushed inside and the doctors saw Jim right away. While Jim was having his wound treated, Aisha was in another room, getting her blood drawn so that they could get it to Jim in the other room as soon as possible. After they took her blood, she smiled slightly, then fainted.
Hours went by, Gene, Melfina and Suzuka were waiting else where to hear from the hospital staff about Jim and Aisha's condition. Another hour went by, Melfina was sleeping in a chair in the waiting room. Gene and Suzuka were still waiting. A doctor came out and confronted Gene.
"Everything is fine. Mister Hawking's wound has been closed and the blood transfusion was a success. I have to say, it is the first time we have done a blood transfusion between a C'tarl C'tarl and a Terran." The doctor said with a smile on his face.
"How about the C'tarl C'tarl that had given blood, how is she doing?" Suzuka asked.
"She is fine, they are both in room 274, although they are both unconscious at the moment. Would you like to see them?"
------
Images appeared in Jim's mind. Moment's back in his childhood, when he and Gene had first started out Starwind and Hawking, he still did most of the work while Gene sat around doing nothing. Just as the fist memory started, another memory seemed to be taking form. It was when Gene and Jim met Hilda and found out about Melfina, then the memory of running into Aisha at Blue Heaven. After that, all the memories seemed to be about Aisha. What's going on? Am I dreaming? Jim thought to himself as he continued to watch his own memories. Then he came up to the day Aisha and him went to the fair. Hey… That just happened, I remember it. I don't think I ever had that much fun in my life. It's all thanks to Aisha. The memory ended. He appeared in a room, a hallway of some sort.
"Huh?" Jim looked around, "What's going on, where am I?" Jim continues to look around at the unfamiliar room. Just then, he heard footsteps from behind. They kept coming closer and closer, his heart was beating very fast. He tried to grab his gun and turn around, but he couldn't. Damn! Why can't I move! The footsteps stopped. There was an evil laugh, he couldn't recognize who the voice belonged to, his heart beat continued to pick up pace. Just then, the figure turned around, it was a Kei Pirate. Jim, still frozen, couldn't defend himself, the Pirate raised his claw, about to strike Jim. Just then, the Pirate froze. Something from behind the pirate had punched right through his chest, then threw him into the darkness, where his body made a loud noise at contact with the floor. It was Aisha!
Aisha! Am I glad to-! He still couldn't speak. Why can't I say anything, Aisha, what's going on?
"I told you, I want to protect you," Aisha made a gun gesture out of his hand and pointed at Jim. "I'm gonna make sure you are safe, no matter what." Jim remembered those exact words. What… I said that. I did that exactly. I said that right before I was attack from-! Jim knew what was going to happen. AISHA! Get out of here, Pirates are going to attack you! At that moment, 4 Kei Pirates appeared behind Aisha, all ready to strike. NO! Jim screamed in his mind.
------
"Aisha!" Jim yelled, sitting up, he was breathing very heavily. He was sweating up a storm as his eyes began looking in all directions. Unfamiliar with where he was, his eyes continued to wander.
"Jim! You're awake." Jim's eyes went to the direction of a man with red hair to his left. It was Gene. "I'm glad to see you're ok, how are you feeling? You gave us all quite a scare back there." Jim wanted to say he was ok, but other words were on his mind.
"What happened?" Before Gene could answer Jim's first question, he asked, "Aisha! Where is Aisha!"
:"Hey calm down Jim, Aisha is ok," Gene said pointing to the bed that was 3 feet away from Jim. "You know, she was the one that saved you." Jim looked over at Gene with a confused look.
"She saved me? What do you mean?"
"Well she was the one that protected you after you got shot, she carried you to the ship's Infirmary. She didn't leave your side until we got here." Gene looked over at Aisha. "She even gave her blood in the blood transfusion, so I guess I better start treating her better." Gene looked back over to Jim, extending his hand out for a high five. "Without her, I would have lost my best friend and business partner."
"Yeah, she really is great, isn't she?" Jim said, giving Gene a high five. His eyes then led to Aisha, who was calming sleeping now.
"Like I said, I better start treating her better." Gene glanced over to Aisha, then back to Jim. "I'll let you get some rest, beside Melfina is waiting at home. Good night Jim." With that, Gene left the room. Jim looked over at Aisha. She looks so beautiful when she is sleeping. Jim thought about Aisha and himself. He knew what his feelings were towards her. I owe you so much Aisha. With that, he fell asleep.
------
The next morning, Jim woke up, he felt something to his right, when his vision focused, he saw it was Aisha. She must have pulled up a chair sometime during the night and fallen asleep. There was a knock on the door. A nurse walked in with a cart.
"Oh, Good morning Mister Hawking, would you be interested in some breakfast?" With that said, Aisha's ears perked up, her eyes opened up instantly.
"Breakfast!" Jim sighed, Same old Aisha. After Jim ate some food, and Aisha eating about 5 times as much, the nurse left.
"How are you feeling Aisha?" Jim asked, rubbing her back.
"I should be asking you that! Are you ok? How's wound?" Aisha asked, jumping over on the other side of his bed, trying to pull up his shirt and look at where Jim was shot.
"Aisha! Cut it out, haha! That tickles!" Jim couldn't help but laugh.
"Just hold still!" Aisha said as she looked at his scar. She went back to her chair after examining the scar. "I'm really happy you are ok." Aisha ran her fingers through his hair.
"Well I have you to thank for it, if you wouldn't have given me your blood, I would have been a goner." Jim laughed.
"That's not funny…" Aisha looked to the ground.
"Aisha…"
"No… I could have lost you." A small tear ran down her cheek, falling on to Jim's bed. "Jim, if I had lost you, I don't know what I would have done…" Aisha started to sob. "You are special. I could spend whole days with you, even if we don't talk. So don't you dare laugh… You're more important than you think."
"Aisha…" Jim rubbed her cheek wiping the tear. "You're right. Besides, I hate to see you upset."
"You're not getting off that easy Jim Hawking!" Aisha said with anger. "You better think of a way to make it up to me." Aisha cracked her knuckles.
"Heh…" Jim laughed nervously. "Alright alright. We'll do whatever you want the entire weekend."
"Really?"
"Yeah." Jim said with a smile.
"Alright, it's a deal!" She gave Jim a big hug, holding him tightly. The moment could have lasted forever, but Aisha let go, her ears twitching. "I hear Melfina." Aisha sat up, both her and Jim looking towards the door. A few seconds later, Melfina, Gene, and Suzuka all entered the room.
"Jim, how are you feeling?" Melfina asked.
"I'm fine." Jim smiled. "I can't wait to get out of here though, I'm sure there is a lot of work that has to get done on the Outlaw Star." Aisha glared at Jim. "Eh… I mean… Aisha and I are going to relax." Aisha only gave a nod and gave a secretive wink Jim.
"Well you should relax. You'll have a good time." Melfina said.
"I agree, the rest will do you good." Suzuka stated, "Aisha can look after you."
"Yeah Jim, besides, I can take care of the work on the Outlaw Star. Enjoy your time off." Gene said, patting him on the shoulder.
"You, take care of the work? Ha, like that will ever happen." Jim replied.
"Hey, just cause you're in the hospital, doesn't mean I won't rough you up a little." Gene said, messing up Jim's hair.
"Maybe, but you'll have to deal with her." Jim said, pointing over to Aisha, with a grin on his face, Aisha grinned also.
"I was just kidding Jim! Clam down." Gene exclaimed. He headed for the door. "I'll see what we can do about getting you out of here, I'll be back soon."
------
A few hours later, Jim was back in his street clothes and back with the group. They all headed back to the Starwind and Hawking Inc building. Jim told Gene and he others that they could go on ahead and that he and Aisha would walk back. Gene nodded and he, Suzuka, and Melfina went back to the Starwind and Hawking building.
"Now don't forget what you said, you and me are going to spend the weekend together, doing whatever I want." She said with a grin.
"Don't worry, I didn't forget. Besides, who said I'm not going to enjoy it." Jim replied with a smile.
"Well I'm glad. So lets see… what could we do…" Aisha and Jim both thought for awhile, when Jim noticed a flyer on the wall.
"Hey, what about this?" Walking over to the flyer, Jim pulled it off the wall and showed it to Aisha.
"This is perfect! You're a genius Jim!" Aisha said, hugging him.
"Haha, glad you like the idea. Want to head over there now?"
"Nyao!" Aisha responded, nuzzling against Jim's arm and purring.
------
Back at Starwind and Hawking, Gene was actually doing what he said he would, picking up the slack so that Jim could relax. He has nearly rapped up all the work that needed to be done, when Melfina walked into the garage where he was working.
"Gene! Lunch is ready, are you coming?" Melfina asked, smiling.
"Sure Mel, I'll be there in a second." Gene said, sliding out from under a car we was working on. Melfina giggled slightly. "What's so funny?" Gene asked.
"You remind me of Jim, especially with that big oil streak running down your face." She couldn't help but laugh.
"Yeah yeah, that's so funny." Gene said, laughing and grabbing a towel to clean his face. Just as Melfina was about to walk back into the kitchen, Gene grabbed her shoulder, stopping her. She turned around looking at him. "I just wanted to thank you Melfina… Having you near…" Gene hugged Melfina, " It really helps. I was afraid… Jim is my best friend and I didn't want to lose him. But the entire time you were there. Thanks Mel."
"Oh Gene," Aisha said rubbing his face with her hand, "I'll always be there for you. I love you Gene, nothing can change that." She shared a kiss with Gene, then smiled, Gene nodded. They headed for the kitchen.
------
Jim and Aisha were still walking around the Food Fair, coming to a C'tarl C'tarl booth. Aisha excitingly ran to it, getting herself some stew. She offered some to Jim, but one short glance at it he quickly refused. I knew she ate a lot, but where does she out it all? Jim wondered. They had been there for a few hours and Aisha hadn't stopped eating since they got there. She must have eaten every kind of food in the galaxy.
"So have you had fun Aisha?" Jim asked.
"Of course I have! This place involves two of my favorite things." Aisha said, wrapping her arm around his, not letting go. They continued to walk, when Jim stopped. Aisha felt him stop, she looked back at Jim whose eye were widely opened. "Jim? What's wrong?
"It's him! I thought he had been killed." Jim said very softly. Aisha, confused turned around and looked for whom Jim was talking about. Then she saw.
"Well if it isn't Gene's little pal. My you sure have grown haven't you? Oh, and who is this? Oh I remember now, it's that damn beast that joined you, isn't it?." The mysterious figure say with a grin. Aisha and Jim both grew silent. "What? You won't even talk to me? I'm hurt." 2 mechanical beasts walked out from behind him, with what looked like gun barrels where their faces should be.
"I thought Gene had killed you MacDougall!" Jim yelled, slowly reaching for his gun.
"Well you thought wrong, Now prepare yourself!" With that Ron MacDougall shot a #11 Caster at them.
"Get back!" Jim said pushing Aisha back. The shot exploded on contact. As the smoke cleared, Jim and Aisha appeared, Jim holding up a light shield that was now shorting out. That was lucky, guess I have Jim to thank for that.
"A light shield huh? You know you are just like your pal Ge-." Before he could finish, Jim had fired his handgun, hitting Ron in the leg. "Ah!" Ron screamed out in pain, falling to one knee, grabbing his right leg.
"Maybe I am like Gene," Jim said grinning, "But I don't waste time talking." Jim fired again, hitting Ron's right hand, then his Caster, which was on the ground.
"Damn you kid! Get them!" Ron yelled, his Mechanical beasts attacked Aisha and Jim, as Ron ran away. Aisha screamed, transforming into her beast form, attacking the first creature that attacked them. Jim switched clips to armor piercing bullets, taking aim at the second creature, but it was too fast to accurately hit. Jim tried leading it to an alley, but then it started to fire at Jim.
"Shit!" Jim tried dodging the bullets as best as he could. Finally he found an alley, throwing a garbage can down and hiding behind it. The creature came around the corner, jumping over the garbage can. Jim looked up as the mechanical creature was a sitting duck in the air, he unloaded a full clip into it. It fell to the ground, shaking slightly, Jim switched clips as he ran up to it, and placing his foot on its neck, he took aim at his head. He fired twice, a few seconds later, the creature exploded. Jim was thrown back, hitting the ground, he had a few cuts on his face and arm. That was close… Better go back to Aisha. Jim ran back to where Aisha was, she was just finishing off the other creature, bashing its face in with her powerful claws. It stopped moving, Aisha walked away from it as it fell to pieces. She transformed into her human looking form. She was completely naked except for a small amount of cloth as a scarf and the bell around her neck.
"Ehh…" Jim couldn't help but stare for a quick second, he then snapped out of his trance and turned around blushing. "Here," Jim tossed his jacket back to Aisha, not really sure where he threw it. "You better put that on."
"Ah!" Aisha quickly grabbed the jacket and put it on. "Thanks Jim." She said blushing.
"Come on, we'll get you some clothes." Jim grabbed Aisha and ran into the nearest clothing store. "Aisha, grab whatever you want, I'll take care of paying for it. I gotta tell Gene about the MacDougall." Aisha nodded, grabbing some clothes and walking into the dressing room as quick as possible. Jim tapped his earring to activate the communicator. "Gene, its Jim. We have a slight problem."
"Yeah Jim, what's up?" Gene's voice could be heard from Jim's earring.
"Aisha and I just ran into Ron MacDougall. Looks like they are back, so watch out ok?"
"What? I thought I killed him… Jim, get back here as soon as possible. We'll get the Outlaw Star ready for launch."
"Roger." Jim walked over to the clerk at the checkout lane. "Here, whatever she comes out in, take it out of this and keeps the rest." Jim threw some money on the counter.
"Ah, ok…" The female clerk said taking the money. A few seconds later, Aisha came walking out with Jim's jacket in hand, wearing a pair of brown cargo pants, and a blue tee shirt.
"Aisha, we are going now, Gene is getting the ship ready."
"Ok, let's go!" Aisha and Jim ran out the door, heading to the spaceport.
------
Gene, Melfina, and Suzuka made it to the spaceport, Jim and Aisha were no where in sight.
"We must have beaten them here," tapping his earring, Gene contacted Gilliam, "Gilliam, prepare the Outlaw Star for launch."
"Ok Gene." Gilliam replied.
"You might have beaten you friends here," a young man with green, long hair walked into view, "but I've beaten you and I'll take Melfina with me." Melfina stood behind Gene, holding on to him tight.
"Well well, if it isn't Harry MacDougall. Well I can't say I am happy to see you." Gene said pulling out his shotgun.
"Well that doesn't matter cause you won't be happy when you're dead! Unless you just want to let me have Melfina, so I can give her a better life." Harry said, with an insane look in his eyes.
"No Harry! Stay away." Melfina said still hiding behind Gene.
"Melfina, don't be afraid," Harry started walking towards them, "I understand you, I am the only one that can."
"I've heard just about enough!" Gene yelled as he fired his shotgun at Harry, but he dodged it.
"Gene, do you really think you can defeat me?" Harry started to laugh hysterically. "Gene Starwind, you have no chance of beating me, now die!" Harry charged Gene, getting closer and closer, "Die die die die!" As he was about 5 feet away from Gene, 4 gunshots were heard. Harry fell to the ground, bleeding from his arms and legs. "Why? Why does it hurt so much?" Harry screamed out in pain.
"As Gene's back up, I won't let you get so close to him."
"Jim, Aisha! Glad you could make it. What took you so long?" Gene asked.
"Well the spaceport is a long trip without a car." Aisha grinned.
"This reunion is great, but let's go before he gets back up." Jim said, running towards the ship.
"Alright, let's go!" Gene, Melfina, Suzuka, Aisha, and Jim all ran to the Outlaw Star.
"Damn you Gene Starwind! Get back here! AHHHHH!" Harry couldn't move.
Leaving Harry where he was, the group made it to the Outlaw Star, Gilliam greeting them and gave Gene the status of their launch clearance.
"Gene, we are all clear for launch, all systems show green. We are ready when you are." Gilliam said.
"Ok. Everyone ready?" Gene asked.
"Ready." Jim said from his seat in front.
"I'm ready." Suzuka stated.
"Aisha is ready"
"I'm ready Gene." Melfina said from her tube behind Gene, she smiled.
"Alright! Outlaw Star, taking off!" The Outlaw Star's engines roared as they lifted off, entering Heifong's airspace. "Well," taking a quick look at all the crewmembers, "Where do you guys want to go? Everyone thought hard, trying to think of a suggestion for a destination.
"Well," Jim spoke quietly, "There is always Katrino, isn't that the beach resort planet?"
"Hmm, what do you guys think?" Gene asked.
"I could use a bit of tanning a suppose." Suzuka stated.
"I heard they have all types of water parks there!" Aisha said, very excited at the though.
"That sounds fine to me." Melfina said.
"Alright then, Gilliam, how far is Katrino?" Gene asked.
"It would be about an eight hour trip Gene."
"Ok, Gilliam, map course and set to auto pilot. Alert me of anything that might pose a threat."
"Ok Gene." Gilliam set the ship to auto pilot.
"Well, I think we should all get some rest." Gene said. Melfina exited her tube and she and Gene left together. Suzuka left to her room to meditate. That left Aisha and Jim.
"Hey Jim?" Aisha looked over at Jim. Jim got out from his seat and walked over to her.
"Yeah?"
"Thanks."
"Hmm?" Jim was confused. "Thanks for what?"
"Back when we ran into that MacDougall guy, after I transformed back… Thanks for buying me the clothes."
"Oh that," Jim blushed slightly, remember what he saw. "Well I wasn't going to let you walk around naked. I have more respect for you then that." Aisha slowly slipped her hand around his.
"You know Jim, you still have to relax, you promised, remember?"
"Alright, what do you want to do?"
"Oh I have something in mind." With that, she dragged Jim back to her room.
------
From Aisha's room, all you could hear was her breathing heavily.
"Jim! Come on, Yes! Yes! Yes! AHHHHHHH!" Aisha screamed.
"This games winner is… Mario!" The game console played Mario's Victory music. Jim had beaten Aisha for the 10th round in a row in the latest Super Smash Bros. Melee game.
"Damn you Jim! How did you get so good at this game?"
"I guess I practice a little?" Jim tried to explain his luck.
"Yeah, sure you practice… When may I ask? You are always working!"
"Ok Aisha, you got me, I'm just lucky."
"Hmm, one more match. I'm gonna pull out my secret weapon." Aisha went and selected Fox McCloud as her character. This time the match ended in less than 30 seconds, with Aisha winning, taking about 20 of damage.
"Wow… Well I'm not gonna be able to beat that." Jim looked over at Aisha who was the happiest he had ever seen her. The sad thing is, I didn't let her win and she really kicked my ass. "Nice game Aisha." He said hoping she wasn't upset with him. Aisha stopped and looked at Jim.
"Hey Jim, is there any kind of prize I get?"
"A prize? Hmm. Well, what do you want?"
"Well…" She walked over to Jim and sat down next to him. She placed her hand on his cheek, rubbing it softly. She brought her lips up to his, kissing him. She and Jim kissed for along time, slowly it was getting more passionate. Her tongue meeting his, rubbing each other's back, it was paradise to both of them. So many thoughts were running through Jim's mind, I'm kissing Aisha… I think I am really in love with her. I would love to spend the rest of my life wi- then it hit Jim. Aisha's life span is much longer than his is. She would live longer then him, without him.
"No… We can't." Jim said breaking off the kiss, as he started standing up.
"Jim, what's wrong?" Jim walked out the door. Aisha thought for a second, What happened? Is he ok, did I do something wrong? She ran out the door and grabbed a hold of Jim in the hallway. "Jim, what's wrong?"
"Aisha, I just have to think about something…" With that said, Jim enter his room and locked the door.
"Oh Jim…" Aisha started to cry, running back into her room. She continued to sob in her bed.
------
Gene was awake, hearing the whole thing that had happened in the hallway.
"Oh boy…" Gene started to sit up, Melfina woke up from the movement.
"Gene? Is something wrong."
"I just heard Aisha and Jim in the hall… I better go talk with Jim."
"I hope they are ok. Poor things…"
"Well, Jim probably doesn't know what Aisha and Suzuka know."
"Huh?" Melfina blinked a little. "What is that?" Gene explained to Melfina what Suzuka had told him. About the two of them having feelings for each other and the situation with their life spans. He also told her about the blood transfusion. "Oh, I see." She hugged Gene from behind, kissing his neck. "Ok Gene," She smiled. "Good luck."
Gene walked out and knocked on Jim's door.
"Jim, its Gene, will you open up?"
"What do you want Gene? It's late."
"Just open up." Jim opened up his door.
"What…" Jim asked, seeming very depressed.
"Listen, years ago, you asked me for some advice. Now I know this isn't a first date, but I gotta tell you." Jim listened carefully. "No matter what, just tell her how you feel. That's the least you can do for her. Right now, Aisha is in her room, crying. Do you really want to see her like that?"
"Gene, you just don't understand…"
"Actually, I think I understand more than you know. So just go tell her, alright buddy?"
"…" Jim remained silent.
"Alright Jim, make the biggest mistake of your like, I just hope you don't regret it." With that said, Gene left. He was almost to his and Melfina's room, when he turned around. Come on Jim… He and Melfina went back to bed.
"Gene's right." Jim said, sitting up. He walked out of his room and to Aisha's door. The door was unlocked, so he walked in, seeing Aisha on her bed.
"Jim? What are you doing here?" Aisha said, looking up, tears still running down her face.
"Aisha…" Aisha put her fingers to his lips.
"Jim, before you say anything. I just want you to know I love you…"
She loves me? This is going to make this harder… "I need to tell you something." He sat down next to her. "I really care for you. That's why we can't be together…""You don't share the same feelings as I do, is that it?" Aisha's head looked to the ground.
"No, that's not it… " Jim tilted Aisha face, so that he was looking straight at her. "I love you too. I have for along time. But your life span… is much longer than mine is. You'll live long after I would die. And that's something I don't want to put you through."
"Jim, if that's all, I don't care. I want to be with you, even if I would live longer. Besides, that isn't a problem anymore." Aisha smiled.
"What are you talking about?" Jim was confused.
"Do you know what it is that makes a C'tarl C'tarl live as long as we do? What makes us age slower than Terrans?" Jim shook his head. Aisha smiled grabbing his hand and holding it tightly, "It's our blood." Jim's eyes widened. "Our blood is different from humans, our blood cells, slightly different. But now, that you have so much of my blood in you, you'll live longer. My blood will change your blood cells, so that they will reproduce. You will now produce both Terran and C'tarl C'tarl blood." Aisha cried, but they were now tears of joy. She and Jim hugged for what seemed like an eternity. "You'll age just like me, so we can be together…" They both let go of each other. "But that's all you have," Aisha flexed her arms, sticking out her tongue. "You won't have my strength or tough skin. But you will have my love."
"That's all I want Aisha…" Jim and Aisha both laid down, falling asleep in each other's arms.
