author's note: the second and last part! enjoy! (i had a really hard time building up to the you know what scene)

step three: honeymoon

"Wah! How gorgeous!" Haruna cried. Yoh flipped his hair as a sudden gust of wind messed it up. They were standing in front of the airport. Buildings hidden by the greenery could be seen for miles.

"Switzerland..." Yoh murmured as he walked beside Haruna.

"Isn't it so pretty, Yoh?" Haruna asked.

Not as pretty as you. "Uh...yeah it is."

Suddenly a honk sounded. Haruna spinned around and clapped her hands once. "That's our taxi, Yoh!" Haruna laughed and took one of the bags and ran over to the taxi. Yoh stayed behind. He slapped himself on his forehead with the bottom of his palm. Can't believe I'm thinking romantic, mushy stuff like that. "Yoh!" Yoh hurried to get inside the taxi, running a bit but stopping as the suitcase began to bang against his leg.

Yoh and Haruna looked up at the luxurious hotel. "I'm on my honeymoon." Yoh looked at Haruna, who was more serious than she had ever been on the whole trip. "I'm on my honeymoon, and I'm married to Yoh." Yoh blushed as soon he heard that. Haruna looked at Yoh.

Yoh coughed. "My sister and Fumi made our reservations, apparently." he said, taking out a piece of paper with booking information written in huge wordy paragraphs and numbers. "How sweet!" Haruna beamed.

"..." Yoh was speechless. The room, which was deluxe, was big. It was cozy, airy, comfortable...but the only thing registered in Yoh's mind was the large, king sized bed smack! right in the middle of the room, with its red silk covers and crimson sheen pillows. Yoh heard Haruna take in a deep breath. "Wow!" She placed her furniture by the door and jumped around the room, finally jumping on the bed. Yoh hesitantly walked over and sat at the edge of the bed, watching Haruna.

Suddenly, all was quiet. Haruna and Yoh looked at each other. The room seemed to get hot. Yoh could hear the rhythmically pounding of his heart in his ears. Haruna seemed to blush.

Yoh finally spoke up. "Let's swim in the grand pool they have downstairs." Haruna seemed relieved.

"Okay."

"And then…" Yoh couldn't finish the sentence.

"And then we eat dinner!" Haruna quickly finished the sentence. Yoh's stomach flipped.

---

Yoh blinked against the bright spotlights of the pool. He looked around, one arm casually hanging in front of his stomach. The pool itself was huge. There were dozens of chairs grouped together around the pool. He stood there, not knowing what to do. As he strolled to two empty chairs, a gang of girls giggled. Yoh flushed. He quickened his walk and sat down.

He tried to make himself look busy, but two girls ended up coming over to him. They were flashy, American girls who smiled, showing off their white teeth, and rotating their bodies.

"Hey, handsome." One of the American girls spoke Japanese. Yoh tried not to laugh at her American accent.

"Hello." He replied, making his voice serious.

"Are you alone?" the other girl replied, pleased to find Yoh talking to them. Yoh was about to reply when his eye caught a girl waving at him in a blue one piece. She ran over to Yoh, expertly jumping over wet spots.

"Hi!" Haruna said. She noticed the other girls. "Hi!" she smiled. Yoh expected that from her. He turned to the girls.

"That's my wife." He said, answering the girl's questions. The girls, disappointed, but having some manners, left, muttering.
Yoh sighed.

"Tired?" Haruna bent over, smiling. Yoh smiled back.

"Not quite." Haruna cheered and ran over to the diving board. He watched as she jumped twice and fell into the water in a perfect smile. People murmured and one clapped. Yoh laughed under his breath and followed.

---

"Mmm, this is so good." Haruna swallowed after taking a huge bite of steak.

"I agree." Yoh was enjoying the steak dinner as much as Haruna was. He took another bite. Haruna looked around. Yoh didn't look around, in fear of his own anxiousness starting up again. The atmosphere was set for couples, with slow piano music and a dim setting with candles. He couldn't help but think of what was going to happen next. He looked up at Haruna. Haruna herself was content and happily chattered away. Yoh took a deep breath, trying to settle the butterflies in his stomach.

He remained that way while eating dinner.

---

The only sound that could be heard was the sound of two people breathing. If heard even closer, two fast heartbeats could be heard.

"Haruna.." Yoh said. Haruna looked up. Her hand was clenched tightly to his.

"This is it, right?" Haruna asked. Yoh bit his lip.

"If you don't want to do it, you don't have to. If you aren't ready…" Yoh was stopped by Haruna moving forward. Yoh's eyes widened.

"I want to…with you. I'm ready.." Haruna whispered. Yoh took a deep breath. They both leaned closer and kissed for a long time, then slipped into a night neither of them could never forget.

---

Yoh yawned, his arm around Haruna's bare, smooth back. He glanced at the clock. 10:00. He looked over at the floor, where their clothes were hastily thrown. He remembered last night, and gave a small smile at the memories. His hand began to rub Haruna's back as Yoh's other hand pulled up the blanket over both of them. Last night was...a beautiful experience. He glanced over at Haruna's sleeping form, which began to stir.

"Nn…" she groaned as she stretched. She blinked against the rays of light that hit her eye. Then she saw Yoh, and smiled. Yoh smiled back.

"I love you.." they said simultaneously. Haruna giggled and rubbed her nose against Yoh's.

"That's an Eskimo kiss." Haruna explained. Yoh laughed.

"I know." He bent towards her and kissed her. She replied back with a kiss. And they continued their lives of happiness together.

the end!

(or is it?)
