(Garnet: "It's the final chapter!" ("The Final Countdown" starts playing in the background.) Garnet: "Okay... Let's do this... GAAARRRRNET KITSSSUUUUNE!" ( Instead of "Leeroy Jenkins.") (- My editor/ BFF made me keep this, she thought it was hilarious... So blame her. )
Jessi had been reading when there was a knock at her door. "This is such a stupid book." she mumbled under her breath as she set it down on her bed. Guardian Angel was written in golden script. This 'Garnet Kitsune' had supposedly become famous for this book and was one of the most popular writers in this country. Jessi had thought it was horrible at first, but now it was the only thing that could help her forget her own life and be someone else for a while. She opened the door expecting Fai or maybe Hana. Syaoran had gone back to Clow for a while, so it wouldn't be him. But she never thought once that Kurogane would actually want to talk to her.
"K-Kurogane? What do you want?" she asked. "I need to talk to you." He said simply. "Um... Okay, about what?" she asked as she cast a nervous glance down to her bandaged arm. The white cloth of the bandage had been dyed various shades of pink and red from the blood. Her other hand subconsciously moved to hide her injured arm. She hoped he wouldn't ask what happened.
"About what caused that." he said, as he pointed to her injured arm. "Oh. Um... I just scratched myself on something." she dismissively told him. She was never good at lying. "Fai told me what happened, so there's no use in lying." He paused for a moment. "He said it was because of me... because of what I said." She tried to say something but couldn't find the right words to say.
Kurogane continued. "I lied. I don't love Tomoyo like that." he admitted. "Why?" she asked. There were so many things she wanted to say. "I thought that if I told ya that, you'd finally give up and go find somebody else." He doesn't love Tomoyo. I should be happy, right? Everything's back to normal... she thought, but the pain in her chest still hadn't lifted. I guess it's really true when they say 'All wounds take time to heal'... "I didn't even think that my words could lead you to... to this."
I'm such an idiot. he thought then sighed. "I never meant to hurt you. I'd never hurt you on purpose... because I... What I mean is..." The usually outspoken samurai stumbled embarrassingly over his words. He looked deeply into her hazel eyes and finally confessed with a rushed "I love ya." Before she could even respond, he roughly pulled her into an embrace and kissed her deeply.
All the thoughts that had been running through her head immediately vanished except for one. One that filled her heart with joy. He loves me!
He feared this would end badly, but at least this way they could be happy. Even if it might be only for a short time.
(End)
( Garent: "Well... That's it! Did ya get my reference? Huh? Did ya? Anyway... I hope you enjoyed it. This is actually the first multi-chap I've ever been able to complete, so sorry if the ending's a bit weak. Jessi might have a slight cameo in DoF later so keep a look out! None of this would have been possible with out my BFF on and offline, JustaFanGrell, who's my editor and the reason I'm even on here. So go check out her stuff! I mean like right now! Bye for now!")
