This is for you romantisists. If you can't handle it, don't read it. I made it so that you won't miss anything. On the other hand, for those of you who complained that I didn't have Yumi and Ulrich kiss a few chapters back, read and enjoy.

A Romantic Side Chapter

Yumi:

I could see Ulrich now. He was flying in front of me with wings. The wings looked a lot like angel wings. I wondered if that meant that we had both died… but I was sure that it didn't. I believed I would have remembered dying.

Ulrich was flying closer to me but he looked like he was being forced back. He was struggling just to move forward. I reached out to him trying to reach my hand to his. I could tell that the dark flames were dying down and with them my energy. I was growing tired, very tired. I felt as though I would feint soon, but I had to get to Ulrich first.

I tried moving myself to meet with him. I couldn't tell if I was moving or not because the space we were in was made up of black and white swirling shapes. The only thing I could tell was that Ulrich was beginning to move closer faster now. I felt that we would soon be able to touch.

He had a look like he was really struggling, yet I simply felt tired. I couldn't tell what he was struggling against. We were moving closer much faster and suddenly our hands touched. He grabbed my hand and pulled me to him. As I quickly moved to him he placed his arms around me in a hug.

All of the anger that I had felt before drained out of me as I felt warmth and love pour in to replace it. I looked up at Ulrich and saw that he looked very tired as well. He was looking down at me smiling.

"Ulrich, I…" I began but he shook his head. "Thank you…"

"Yumi, if you are in trouble or danger I will always be here for you." He said.

Our eyes met and we both began to blush. Our heads slowly began to move towards one another… My eyes began to close as our mouths moved closer to one another. I felt happy inside, not because we were finally kissing, but also because I somehow knew that there would be no distractions this time.

Suddenly our lips met. I felt a feeling of surprise wash over me but that was quickly replaced by a feeling of pure joy and contentment. My lips tingled as they lay pressed against his; I could feel the warmth of his skin against mine. His breath blew slightly against my face and I knew that he felt mine against his face.

We stayed like that for only a little while but it felt much longer. When we finally did pull away I saw that he was blushing. I knew that I was blushing as well, but it didn't matter. I was just happy that we had finally kissed. Slowly my exhaustion creped over me again and as it did I drifted off to sleep…

For those of you who stayed with my, good for you. I hope you enjoyed my first 'published' version of a romantic chapter.
