Chapter 5

Back in Daytona, Kayla tried to get on with her life, but try as she might she could not get Gary out of her mind. Her mind came flashing back to that night in the hospital. That kiss, the kiss she just could not shake.

Up until that night, Kayla had convinced herself that Gary only kissed her because he was forced into it, but after that night Kayla begun to doubt it. Right there in the hospital, when it was just them, he kissed her. Not a quick peck on the cheek, but a full blown kiss one with more feeling if possible then the "forced" kiss in the Jeelary store just a few days before. The big question once again to plague her mind was why.

However, she wasn't asking why for the same reasons. Her heart begun to ache as tears spilled from closed eyes. Try as she might she could not make them stop. The tears were so strong that she barley noticed the sount of her cell phone. Hoping against anything Gary may of called her, she scrambled to answer it. "hello…" she cried desperately into it not bothering to check the I.D.

"Kayla-chan what's wrong?" came a voice Kayla thought she would never hear.

Taking a deep breath Kayla managed to stop crying long enough to explain. "I've really gone and done it now." she started to sob, "I broke the code of a senshi and fell in love… but to try and save myself and our family I ran from him…."

"Baka code I hate it…." the other girl said. "I think your falling in love is a good thing and that you should go back to him."

"Demo…Usagi-chan…Watashi…" Kayla stammered.

"You'll never know unless you try now will you?"" Usagi urged her sister on. "At least call him!" she chirped happily.

"ok, ok I give." Kayla sighed as she slumped back into a nearby chair. Yet now Kayla's biggest fears started to flood her mind.

She picked up her cell the angel fish swimming across the display. Her finger lightly touched a button and the display changed to that of a list. :What am I doing, more over what in the Hell am I thinking?": she asked herself as she let go of her phone letting it hit the floor. Her golden cat walked up to it and began to batt it around. He looked up at Kayla and picked it up in his mouth as if to say here.

"Thanks boy.." she whispered to the animal clasping the phone to her hip. He then made a noise as if to say something but Kayla just stood and walked off limping the whole way. The cat rubbed against her not taking no for an answer. "I…I…." Kayla began. "I can't boy." she chocked out to which her cat hissed. Somehow beyond Kayla, the cat wanted her to do something…she didn't know how…she didn't know why, but somehow she could seemingly understand every thing that cat wanted to say. With a resigned sigh she picked up the phone. "I'll do it…" she hissed to the animal to which it purred.

Holding her phone In shaking hands, she begun to dail not knowing where the numbers were coming from. A tinge of hope flooded her mind if only for a moment as she broke into a bright smile. Yet the hope faded as the numbers appeard on her phone's display. Too many what if's entered it at that moment and she felt herself wanting to back out again.

Precious, the gold cat, rubbed on his owner's leg as if to assure the young woman she was making the right choice. Sighing once more she pressed the green botton that would send her call. Holding the phone neverously, she waited for a reply.

Merissa Clark had been in the office doing some paper work when the office phone rang. With skillful hands she marked her place and picked up the phone holding it with both hands. "MCGinty's" she said into the phone.

Kayla could feel her heart skip a beat at that moment. "Clark-san…its Tsukino-san." she whispered almost forcing her voice to speak those few words.

"Kayla..?" Merissa questioned not knowing the woman for very long, but from what she understood, the girl rarely used anyone's first name including her own.

"Hai.." Kayla begun her voice starting to even out a little more as she continued speaking. From the way it seemed Gary wasn't around, at least for the moment.

"What is wrong?" Merissa asked her voice filling quickly with worry and concern for the girl. "Are you still in town?"

"Iie…I'm back in Florida." Kayla began. "I just called to check on Hobson-san." she said refusing to say much more then that. "I'm just…so.. Sorry, but something unexpected came up and I couldn't stay."

"THen why didn't you tell Gary?" Merissa asked slightly confused now.

"Because…I…Couldn't let him…get…hurt…" Kayla started bracing herself for what she knew that the dark-skinned woman would say next.

"You know your leaving so suddenly without any explanation hurt Gary a lot. He still searches the city for you, and he is partly killing himself with guilt and worry. He feels that he is to blame for all this mess." Merissa voiced her anger starting to boil and bubble to the surface. "If I were you, I'd stay away from him! If you can't be with him, then you best never come back!" her last words were in the form of shouting, something she rarely did…but at the same time had to be said.

"I never meant to hurt him like that.." She began to sob. "I just want him to know that I'm sorry."

"Well you should have thought of that first Kayla. I hate to see that man like this, he has done so much, saved so many lives , and to have something like this…something… so.. Simple… just.." Merissa continued to scold as she lost control of her own emotions and her voice had begun to crack. Just as she reached over to hang up on Kayla, a hand cought the phone and Merissa's wrist. She looked up with dark sightless eyes, "That person was about to hang up now.." she said anger filling her voice again.

"Let me have the phone Merissa." Gary replied prying Merissa's shaking fingers from it. "Kayla?" he asked into it as Merissa left to calm herself down.

"Hobson-san?" Kayla asked weekly her voice broken her sobs wracking her body.

The sound of her tears Made his heart break. "Kayla…I wish I could be there with you right now…"

"Honto…?" Kayla asked failing to speak in English, but Gary had been able to figure out what she meant, or so he hoped.

"Yeah. I miss you and I wish you could return, or that I knew where you are so I could come to you. You mean everything to me…" Gary had to pull a chair over and sit down his legs and voice failing him at that moment. He was frozen on what to say, and scared of how she might react.

Kayla could not believe her ears. Did she hear him right? She could feel her heart pounding in her ears as her voice failed her. "You mean that?" She asked the fear gripping her heart like a vice. If it turned out to be a lie she knew that it would break and could never be repaired.

"Yes…" Gary responded a little shocked His voice however didn't reflect it. Instead he had been able to let his emotions flow through his voice, something he did without hardly noticing it. However, Kayla did pick up on it, and that was the one person that needed too. If anyone at all.

"Listen, I can come back if you really want me too. I just had a few loose ends to tie up here…" she replied feeling bad for being so bold about it, but if she didn't she'd really never know.

Gary felt his body relax as a new feeling of hope filled his blood. "I'll meet you at the airport, just give me the flight and the time." he offered. "I can't wait to see you."

"You won't have too, I can be there in a mater of seconds. I just have to pack , and pick up precious, my cat." Kayla explain. "I'll return the same way I left, through teleportation."

"ok… I'll be here, you remember the bar?" Gary asked.

Kayla smiled. "yeah.. You are the only reason I'd ever be in a place like that, but anything for you Koi." Kayla responded not feeling at all bad for calling him love. She knew he didn't know what it meant, but as a cat-like grin spread across her features, he would soon find out. Not wanting to waist any more time then she had already, Kayla hung up her phone and stashed nearly the entire contents of her room into her sub-space pocket, something that only a select few knew about, and knew how to use. Picking up precious she transformed. In the blink of an eye she had appeared in front of gary clad in her senshi fuku.

Gary had expected Kayla to take a few hours, or a day to arive, but part of him had forgotten about her powers. She didn't seem to like that she had them, or that without him, she was more or less week, but at the same time, she understood their value. When she appeared with a sand colored tabby cat in her arms, a blue leash wrapped around her gloved left wrist,

"this must be Precious." Gary said letting her know that not only did he accept the cat, but he was right in front of her. Merissa had thought him a lot about blindness, so he knew how to treat that one little part about her, and not make her feel bad for having it, or any disability for that mater.

"Hobson-san, I'm so glad to see you…" She started slowly as she slowly and carefully released the bundle in her arms. The animal landed on the desk then jumped to the floor the sound of his bells the only sign he had moved.

"Kayla…" Gary began. "I've missed you…" He inched to her slowly not sure what move to make, if any. He loved her this he could be sure of, but did she feel the same for him in return. He had not thought about a problem like this, but now that she had returned he could not help but think.

"Gary…" Kayla said the word slowly as if she had never been able to speak…before this moment. She inched forward a few steps, but stopped. She extended her arms as if to hug him. She didn't have to wait long before he reached her embracing her tightly. He held her like that for several moments before pulling back. Holding her gloved hands in one hand, he stroked her cheek with the other. She leaned into it eyes closed.

Slowly he moved in again, but this time to deliver a kiss to her soft lips. He didn't know how long it had been since he had felt this way about anyone, or if he had. He had thought he felt like this around Marsh, but quickly discovered not. Their lips met in tender bliss as a renewed feeling washed over both parties. Gary continued the kis by licking his lips slightly against hers as if asking for entrance.

Kayla willingly complied dropping all magical bariers a fire burning within her very being. She could feel Gary massaging her clothed spine, and she wanted out of the cloth confines and feel every part of him on and in her. Yes, it had been only weeks since the rape, but being with Gary made everything seem so different, and unimportant…

His hand slid over her shoulder as he pushed the fabric away from it. In a flash of light, Kayla had allowed her senshi fuku to dissolve only to be replaced with "normal" clothing. The fire in her body had grown and she expressed this undying need by moaning in pleasure. Hot shivers raced along her sides and up through her chest and spine as if to add to her already growing pleasure.

By now Kayla's top was nearly completely off along with the bra underneath. "why don't we take this upstairs?" Gary offered smiling softly. His voice had a huskey tone to it, one Kayla had never heard all to often, but her mind loved it at this current moment.

"mmm… sounds…good…" she said breathlessly as another pleasure filled moan escaped her lips.

Gary picked her up in one swift movement, so fast that she failed to relize her feet were not touching solid ground any longer. She closed her eyes enjoying the ride her mind in a complete haze. Gary had been a little shocked with himself, but driven by love, a man can do just about anything. Reliving her of her upper garments, Gary closed and locked the door. Kayla moaned in pleasure as the shower of kisses began again.

He started at her jaw line moving slowly along her neck. When he hit it she tossed her head back in a moan of want and need and Gary begun to suck on the area only driving Kayla into an even deeper pleasure then she felt at the moment. The hot shivers now raced along every limb as well as her chest and back.. She felt something wet on her left nipple, and as she moved her hand to see what had caused it, Gary stopped her.

"No…." he whispered taking her left and right hand effectively pinning them above her head. He then eyed the nipple that she started to toy with and slid his tongue over it. She bucked her hips and arched her back as the pleasure increased again. The flame that had begun burning now seemed as if it would eat her alive slowly.

"Please…" she panted out. She groaned as she felt something on her sweat covered legs, or lack there of.

"Easy…" Gary said as his hand glided over one sweat socked leg. "I don't want to force you into anything…"

"But… I … want……no… need this…" she panted out her breath coming and going the fire making her body twitch .

Gary took one look in her eyes and knew what she had to say was true. Slowly he slid one hand over her dripping womanhood the heat coming off in waves. He slid one digit in and had to stop himself He didn't know what had come over him, but he couldn't bring himself to hurt her, not like this, and not so soon after the last time, but she seemed to want it.

"Please… Gary…" she begged her voice so thick of love and want. With that he resolved to continue until he finished what he had started.

Several hours later the two newly found lovers found themselves lieing side-by-side covered in a thick sheet of sweat from their endless hourss of love-making. Kayla never thought she could feel so loved, and to trust someone so completely. Yet, here she lie doing all that and more.

"I didn't hurt you did I?" Gary asked.

Kayla shook her head, "I have never thought I'd feel so good in my entire life…" she confessed. "that was simplify amazing…"

"I'm glad to hear it.

Little did the newly found lovers know, someone had been watching their love-making from a distance. A look of pure hot anger flashed in their eyes for the briefest of moments, as the figure vanished from sight before anyone noticed its existence.
