Well, looks like this story has come to an end. Thank you all for the wonderful reviews. Each and every one of them allowed me to smile, after all, this was my first fanfiction and you all reviewed and kept me going.

Diclaimer- I don't own D.Gray-Man or any of the characters in this story.


Chapter 6

"Kanda?" Lenalee couldn't believe that he had made his way in time before she went inside. "What are you doing here?" she silently asked.

"I live here, don't I?" Kanda started. He looked at the roses that he had behind his back. Instead of handing them to her he allowed them to drop on the ground. He had just recently come up with a plan, and it didn't involve any roses.

"So, Allen, what do ya think's going on?" Ravi paced, anticipated about what may happen between the two.

"I dunno, but knowing Kanda, he'd probably just blame it all on her." Allen fiddled with his exorcist coat. "He should have allowed us to help him!"

"Well, that's just not Yuu, don't you think? Even if he bothered to listen to our advice, do you really think that he would go along with it?" Ravi sat down next to Allen. It seemed as all that they did was sit at the park since Kanda and Lenalee had an argument.

"Right…I hope that Lenalee will be okay." Allen looked worried.

"Aw, come on Allen, Yuu wouldn't do anything to harm her…physically anyway." Ravi sweat dropped.

"Okay."

XxXxXxXx

They had a long moment of silence. Lenalee felt uncomfortable, even though she was used to him not talking, she wished that he would just say something.

A few moments went by, and nothing. He was still quite. So, Lenalee decided to speak up, she just wanted to say sorry; Even if he was the one that owed the apology.

"Look…Kanda, I…" she started. Kanda looked up from staring at the ground. He looked at her, was she really going to say 'sorry' for something that he had caused?

"I just wanted to say…" Lenalee paused again. She didn't feel right saying sorry. She recalled all of the events that day, and all the arguing was caused by him.

Kanda furrowed his brow, and that silenced Lenalee. 'Is he mad because I'm trying to say sorry?'

Instead of him scolding her for wasting his time, he embraced her. For the reason that he discovered earlier, this whole time, he had wanted to hold her close.

Lenalee was shocked. She couldn't believe that Kanda Yuu had just embraced her. Before she could say anything, Kanda began to speak.

"I'm sorry…I'm sorry for acting like an idiot…" he started. Lenalee still didn't return the embrace, she was too shocked that he had just called himself an idiot and had said sorry.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you…I shouldn't have said that you shouldn't care, and that it's my problem. I didn't go one day…one damn day Lenalee, without thinking about you…"

'It's now or never.' Kanda prepared himself to tell her.

Lenalee felt the tears threatening to come. She never recalled Kanda apologizing to anyone. She wanted to know why he would choose her to allow her to meet the real Kanda.

"After all the thinking, I've come to realize that…I care a lot for you. And I mean that." Kanda then felt that she returned the embrace after that. He held her tightly, as she did as well.

They pulled away from each other. They had both wanted to stay like that, in such an embrace forever. Lenalee finally spoke up. "Kanda, I've always cared about you." Her tears began to fall. She had hoped that this moment would come.

Kanda wiped her tear with his finger; he hated it when she cried. He never knew how to stop her.

"Don't cry, please." Kanda noted that after he had said that, she began to tear up more.

"Why are you crying? Did I say anything that got you sad?" Kanda was confused; he thought that what he said was good, not bad. He was too new to the whole apologizing thing.

"No Kanda, these are tears of joy." She smiled. "I had hoped for some time now that you would say this. It was a shock that you said it, in a good way."

He never knew that she had felt that way. "Why didn't you ever say anything?" He felt horrible, he didn't know that a person that he cared about so much, he was causing pain to.

"I didn't say anything because I had hoped that one day, you would say this without me asking you to." Her voice was soft.

"I'm sorry." Kanda wiped another one of her tears. "I know that sorry doesn't fix anything, but I just want you to know that I don't like to see you like this."

"I accept the apology Kanda. Can I ask you a question?" Lenalee wiped her own tears away.

"Go ahead." Kanda prepared himself for whatever it was that she wanted to ask.

"I planned another day for all of us to spend a day off together, can you come?" Lenalee hoped that he would. She felt great knowing that he cared and that he felt bad.

"Sure, I'll be there." He nodded. Of course he was going to go. He owed her.

"You promise?"

"I promise." He had then smiled that rare smile of his.

That was reassuring that he would be there, and be on time for that promise.

A/N- I would like to start off with a thank you to all of you readers for putting up with my laziness and well, for reading my first fanfiction ever. :) The hits and the Reviews are what kept me going, so I would like to thank those of you who bothered to even review. Now, allow me to clear up a few things from this story and how it came to be. I was just a tad bored one day and I was very very into D.Gray-Man, so I wanted to write something that would allow me to get an account, and help me out with my writing. I thought, why not write a KanLina fanfiction? The couple is very intresting to me, even if we all know that if Lenalee's gonna end up with anyone at all, and if the manga was ever gonna get a bit shojo, it would be with Allen. I've always thought that a person like Kanda can't be all that cold-hearted, they have feelings, hello, they're human. No matter how cold the human, they are always going to regret things, as Kanda had regreted scolding Lenalee for bothering to care about what happens to him. Thus Kanda being OOC. Well, in a way, you have to make Kanda OOC to make him care and have feelings towards someone. I've always loved the whole 'promise theme' so I also added it in the beginning and in the end to show how keeping a promise shows that you give a damn about keeping it as Kanda cared in Chapter 2. He tried to make it in time to the day that all 4 of the exorcists were going to enjoy a day, free of worries togetther. So, in the summary, I put "without a little help from Ravi and Allen". You may have thought "What help did they give Kanda?" Well, the way that they had helped him was by helping him relise that he did indeed have strong feelings for Lenalee. I think that in Chapter 3, Kanda had admitted that he had no idea about how he felt about Lenalee. Ravi and Allen had pushed him up until he got togetther what it was that he wanted to do to allow Lenalee to know that he did indeed care. Also leading to the story being called "I Care". I just felt like these were a few things that may had got you to think, "What was the point of the author putting a fake line in the summary".XD

I hope that you had all enjoyed being the readers of this story as I had enjoyed being the author of this story. Thank you for the support in the making of this story and for the very wonderful reviews. Hope that you all enjoyed this final chapter, sorry for it being so short, I wish that I could've made it longer, but this was the way that I had wanted to end it.

THANK YOU!
