(a/n: ok, this is going to continue on, but in another story... and it's probably gonna suck sweatdrop but, here's the last chapter)

Himeno's house

She couldn't believe what Mannen had just told her. He'd been evil for nearly a week and she hadn't even noticed. But the other Knights did agree with the squirt, so she was having difficulty believing that they were all dillusional, so, she went along with it.

Go and Mannen seemed a lot closer and definately made Himeno a little jelous of them. It definately made Mayune jelous, because she thought that couples should wait for her to first, so she wold have a lover to prance about to prove she was better than them... to a deegree.

Go had taken Mannen out to the gardens, where they sat and watched some of the clouds roll by. Mannen rolled in the grass and came to a halt so his head rested on Go's chest and he got comfortable, pulling himself close to Go and grabbing the man's shirt and clinging to it. He smiled when he heard Go give a soft moan of disapproval. He wiggled closer and managed to kiss Go's cheek before he lept up and into a tree nearby as Go lay there glumly.

It was fun, knowing Mannen wouldn't ever be alone and that Go would finally have forgotten Yuki, Mannen's previous self, in time to save this boy he was so in love with... he got up and stared up at Mannen, who stared back. Go smiled his beautiful smile and Mannen flushed, loosing balance and fell out of the tree. Go lunged forward and dove to save Mannen from crushing a dandelion and the two rolled down the small slope to the somewhat fake stream. They stared at one another and then laughed.

Sasame's "tsk, tsk" sound interrupted them. He smiled down at the pair. "That's no way to save a lover, Go! One should do it with style! Try and make it fancy next time. Like, when you jump to save him, turn around and stand tall with him beside the tree or something like that. It's much more dramatic."

Hayate snorted. "No, that's just plain stupid."

"And what wold you know, Mr. I'm-so-wonderful?"

Hayate flushed at Sasame's straight-faced joke. He looked away, the flush deepening.

Go and Mannen started laughing again, this time at Hayate, who threw them both in the air and stormed away. Mannen squealed and fell into Go's arms. Go stood there, the stream shedding a radient glow on him. Bubbles floated past and Mannen flushed.

Sasame stood there watching Kei blow bubbles at the fluffy pair. "You know, you really know how to set the mood for people..." he said.

Kei shrugged. "I thought it'd be fun. GWAH!" His hand had a small sheet of ice on it.

"Stop making fun of me!" Mannen said. He didn't look very threatening in Go's arms, flining his ice shards at them. Go was trying his hardest not to laugh. "You! Stop laughing at me! Wah! Go's laughing at me! Himeno-nee! Go's being mean! Hurt him!"

Go stopped laughing as best he cold and walked off with Mannen.

"Think they'll last?" Kei asked, dipping his hand into the warm, soothing stream.

"They've gotta last... or we may never hear the end of it from 'big brother'," Sasame said with a smile. He looked up at the sky. "They'll last for as long as an eternity is infinate." The gentle wind that blew past ruffled his hair and he held it back as he heard Mannen and Go laughing again about something. "They'll last forever."

Later

"Go?"

"Hm?"

"I love you!"

"I know. But..."

"But what?"

"I love you more. Heh."

"That works for me!"

The sun set that day with hopes of better days yet to come, days filled with less and less danger and filled with more love and warmth, and one boy finally came into the world of adulthood, despite his loss of childhood memories...
