Helloo peng you men(friends in mandarin) Sorry i took so long to update...I know there wasn't much YzakxShiho honey moments in the earlier 2 chapters but I guarantee you that this last chapter(yes I know sad..) will make up for it! I promise! –smiles-

I hope you'll enjoy this chapter as much I had writing it:) I edited the last 2 chapters cuz i realised there was some mistakes just a slight alteration won't affect the flow.

Once again before I forget…I do not own Gundam SEED franchise because if I did Cagalli WILL be kicking Shinn freaking ass a lot without Kira or Athrun intervening…Cagalli WILL be in the final fight in space and not stuck in Orb… and there WILL be less Shinn screen time (I'm sorry but he really rifled me up – too angst for me). OK I'm done until I find more things to lament about.

Finally before you start reading the last chapter i'll would like to thank JenEvan Housenka and Emerald Leviney for reveiwing my chapters. You guys rawks! a bit sad only 3 reviews :( never mind hopefully this will have more reviews with so much Yzakxshiho content...Plus i post a christmas fic plz see and review plz!!

Enjoy this last chapter!:)


Thump…Thump…Thump…

Shiho's head was pressed against Yzak's chest as she closed her eyes listening to the hypnotic rhythm of his heartbeat as he made his way to the nurse's office which was located in the same building.

He's awfully quiet… he should have been scolding his head off at me by now. Shiho thought as she felt a pang in her heart.

The silence was awkward and uncharacteristic.

Somehow, Shiho couldn't bring herself to break the silence. It was as if someone had sealed her voice box and refused to give her the key to unlock it. She looked up at Yzak – His handsome face expressionless, his eyes usually easy to read was now void of any emotions.

Something is definitely not right…

This is so unfair! I'm the one who should be giving out the silent treatment not him! He's the one in the wrong! This is damn freaking unfair! God knows how much it hurts…Shiho thought as she felt her heart began to ache badly, overpowering the pain in her ankle. Her nose began to ache as tears threatened to spill from her violet eyes. Stop crying Shiho! Stop it! This is ridiculous! He's not even doing anything to you, yet you're crying like an idiot. God damn it! Shiho screamed in her head.

She frantically tried to blink back the tears, hoping that Yzak didn't notice them.

Unfortunately, while she was trying to stop the tears, her hands clenched involuntarily behind Yzak's neck causing him to snap out of his trance and take notice of the girl in his arms. He glanced down at Shiho who was trying furiously to look somewhere else to hide her tears, which was near to impossible given her current predicament. There was little place to look away without being obvious.

Great. Just great. What else? Shiho thought sarcastically. He's gonna know that I'm crying because of the fact that he's ignoring me. Super.

Yzak's eyes softened as he looked at her.

"You ok? I'm sorry, it hurts is it?" He asked softly.

"Do I BLOODY look ok to you?! Goddamnit of course it hurts! You don't even know the half of it!" Shiho burst out angrily, her eyes stinging with tears.

"Then why the hell did you go ice-skating? And of all the jumps you HAD to do that one?!" Yzak said raising his voice, his temper getting the better of him.

Shiho stared at him, blinking a few times before registering his words.

"Oh…" Shiho muttered her face flushing. Just when I thought it can't get worse. Realization dawned on her that she and Yzak was on two totally mutually exclusive topics. He was asking about the injury and she was…well…thinking of another kind of injury.

"What did you think I was asking?" Yzak questioned. His eyebrows furrowed in confusion noting her sudden silence and her slightly pink face.

"Eh…um…nothing. We're here!" Shiho said hastily, thankful that they had arrived. I can't get anymore humiliated here.

Yzak continued to look at her with a bewildered expression, she was acting rather strange. Recognizing that he was probably not going to get the reply he wanted since Shiho's amethyst eyes were determinedly not to look into his, he shrugged as he sat her down on the nurse's bed.

"Stay here. I'll get the nurse."

Shiho nodded, her mind still reeling from the small outburst a few minutes ago.

"I can't believe I said that! And out loud no less! God, he must think I'm a lunatic," She groaned slapping herself on the forehead as she sat on the bed with her legs dangling over the edge.

'What happened to you, Shiho dearie?" a voice chirped as a rather motherly figure entered the room with Yzak behind her.

"Oh hi Nurse Mel. I fell while ice-skating that's all," Shiho replied smiling feebly.

"Tsk Tsk Tsk. So careless! Oh well let me have a look at the ankle." Nurse Mel said while shaking her head and smiling slightly.

A few minutes went by as Nurse Mel examined her ankle. Shiho winced and gripped the edge of the bed until her knuckles turned white. It. Hurt. Like. Hell

Yzak in the meanwhile was leaning against the door frame with his arms folded across his chest as he looked nonchalantly at the nurse examining Shiho's injury. His eyes once again expressionless, which was starting to get on Shiho's nerves.

"It's not broken as far as I can tell; it's probably just a very bad sprain. I'll put some ice on and bandaged it up for you. Probably some painkillers as well seeing the way you almost tore out the stuffing of my mattress," Nurse Mel chuckled, inclining her head towards the mattress that had suffered Shiho's torture when she dug her nails into the bed to stop herself from screaming in pain.

Shiho smiled sheepishly as Nurse Mel made her way out of the room to get the supplies.

The uncomfortable silence again.

Shiho fidgeted with the edge of the bed sheet, letting her almond-shaped eyes wandered anywhere around the room except the door frame. Her heart was beating like crazy.

Can she hurry up? How long do you need to take some ice, bandages and painkillers?! Shiho thought exasperatingly. I don't think I can stand another minute alone with him.

She busied herself looking at the human anatomy chart on the wall, studying the scientific names of the bones. Cranium…Mandible…Phalanges…

This is ridiculous! Why am I afraid to talk to him? He's my boyfriend after all. Argh! This is killing me! Shiho thought frustratingly, her eyes narrowed angrily.

Just then she felt a hand covering hers startling her. She was so caught up in her thoughts that she failed to realize that Yzak had left his position at the door and was now standing next to her, with his left hand over her right. Shiho looked up into Yzak's face.

Oh God…Those eyes. Those piercing dazzling sapphire eyes. It amazes her how those azure eyes manage to capture her very heart. It could make her heart beat, skip and calm down all just by looking into those enthralling blue.

"Ye-yes?" She managed to sputter out.

Yzak just continued to stare at her with a rather familiar peculiar expression on his face.

"What?" Shiho asked feeling a twinge of annoyance. Her inability to read her boyfriend's expressions was making her slightly short-tempered.

"Nothing…Bear with it…She's coming back," Yzak said glancing back to the doorway.

Right on cue, Nurse Mel bustled in, carrying the supplies.

"Ok hon, lie down. Yzak darling do you mind taking the 2 pillows over there? Thanks dear," Nurse Mel instructed kindly, her hands fiddling with the ice pack and bandages.

Yzak raised an eyebrow at the word "darling", after all no one had ever called him that well except his mother. Heck Shiho don't even use that term of endearment. However if he was irritated he did not show as he did as he was told.

Shiho couldn't help but smirked at Yzak's reaction. Though she felt it was slightly out of character that Yzak did not retort back. She frowned slightly at that thought.

"NURSE MEL! NURSE MEL! Quick we have an emergency on the track!" A voice cried as a blond-haired boy rushed in panting.

"Oh dear! I can't leave right way. I have a patient here!" Nurse Mel said with a worried expression.

"But…but it's serious! I think she might have broken her leg!" The boy protested with clear panic in his eyes.

Shiho opened her mouth to tell Nurse Mel to go ahead since her injury was minor compared to the broken leg but Yzak beat her to it.

"Don't worry Nurse. I'll take care of Shiho. I know what to do since sprains are rather common on the soccer field."

Nurse Mel bit her lower lip contemplating Yzak's offer. Finally she relented.

"Alright then. Make sure the ice stayed on for at least 15 minutes and remember to bandage it good. Also make sure she takes the pain killers if the pain gets too unbearable," She instructed.

"Sorry Shiho hon, make sure you get plenty of rest and stay off the ice for at least 2 weeks!" Nurse Mel said sighing.

"I promise!" Shiho smiled.

Yzak nodded as Nurse Mel dashed out of the office leaving the two of them alone.

"C'mon. Leg up!" Yzak said holding the ice pack.

Shiho obeyed lying on the bed with her right leg propped up on the pillows, turning her head the other way to face the wall.

"Are you ever gonna look at me?" Yzak sighed after a few minutes of silence, as he sat on the edge of the bed with his right hand covering the ice pack to put pressure on her swollen ankle.

Shiho chest tightened as she pouted and folded her arms to emphasize her point. She was being childish but she didn't care.

Sighing, Yzak took one bandage and tie the ice pack on her ankle tightly in place. He then slide his way up the bed to sit beside Shiho's upper body. Using his right hand, he turned her face towards him. She flinched slightly from the coldness.

She stared at him before saying "What do you want?" Her lavender eyes narrowed as she stared into his cobalt eyes.

I'm not caving in that fast! He's the one who refused to talk to me in the first place! She thought as her heart thumped against her chest.

A flash of annoyance crossed his striking good features.

"Will you stop acting this way? It's silly!" Yzak snapped annoyance evident in his voice.

"Me? Silly?! Are you joking? Excuse me! I'm not the one who started this silly fight!" Shiho half-shouted, anger clear in her eyes as she slapped Yzak's hand away.

"ME? The last time I checked you were the one who screamed at me! Be reasonable woman!" Yzak shouted springing up.

"Oh now I'm unreasonable! Unbelievable! You're the one who left me in the diner waiting for TWO freaking hours and you blamed it on me? Unreal!" Shiho screamed back sitting up, ignoring the sharp pain in her ankle as she removed it from the pillows to sit up properly.

"I already apologized! What more do you bloody want? Me on both knees begging you for forgiveness? Or do you want me to take out a billboard ad saying that 'I'm sorry'?! I'm sure your Heine will gladly do anything for you! I still have dignity!" Yzak snarled.

"Not like that idiot hitting on attached girls…"He added darkly.

Shiho was astounded. Yzak Joule was actually jealous? Her mouth opened, anger boiling through her. Though it did make sense - the silence, the missing retort, the familiar peculiar expression.

The expression – it was the same as Heine's when he was examining her ankle. Could he really like her –more than a friend?

"…Furthermore…you look like you really enjoy his company maybe we should just break up and you can be free to date that ice-of-a-twirler bastard!" He continued bitterly.

"YZAK JOULE! Would you like to repeat yourself?" Shiho said her voice rising. Her eyes darkened.

"I say that we should break up! Go to your bloody ice twirler maybe he can show the moves-"

SMACK!

Yzak was stunned, his left cheek stinging. No one had ever slapped him, not even his mother. He was in shock to put it lightly.

"How…How dare say that about me? Don't you trust me at all?" Shiho said her voice shaking. Her tears falling freely down her face, she didn't bother to hold them in. She was beyond upset. After all the time they've been together he did not trust her and doubted her the minute things went south. Her heart broke.

Yzak turned and looked down at her. His eyes widened in surprise at Shiho's reaction. She was crying and for as long as he could remember she hardly cried. For him to see her in such a state was to say the least – heart wrenching.

"I can't believe you! Don't you even know me at all? Do I freaking look like the kind of girl that goes around hitting on guys the minute her relationship hit a sour note?!" She continued, tears cascading down. Her shoulders heaving and her nose was aching badly as she used the back of her hands to wipe away the tears, it wasn't working since the fresh tears just keep falling and replacing the ones she wiped away.

"Huh? Tell me?!" She shouted as loud as her choked voice allowed.

Yzak hesitated, digesting her words. Shiho was not that kind of girl; he knows it deep inside. She was not some flirt that goes around throwing herself at boys.

Trust. Don't I even trust her? Of course he did. If he did not trust her he won't be opening up to her worrying that his secrets will leak out. Heck, she won't even be his girlfriend if he didn't trust her in the first place.

Oh crap…I really did it this time. Yzak thought grimly. What do I say?

"Well?!"

"No." He muttered.

"What did you say?"

"I said NO!" He said louder.

"Then? Why the hell did you say those things? Don't you even care about my feelings? Bloody hell! You didn't even ask how I was doing while we're in the nurse's! You just stand there with that stupid idiotic blank look in you eyes. Don't you freaking care?!"

Man when she's on a roll…she's really keeps on going…

"Don't be stupid Hahnenfuss!" He blurted out.

Shiho's eyes flashed dangerously.

"Oh! So now I'm stupid too! I'm not only unreasonable and silly but stupid too. Congrats Joule you just got yourself an Ex-girlfriend!"

Shiho huffed as she swung both her legs over the edge and tried to stand up and walk away from Yzak, which unfortunately is not the dramatic exit she envisioned it as she forgotten about her sprain ankle and lost her balance the minute she stood up.

Great! I can't even make a thespian exit and I'm now falling into the pits of humiliation. She thought sarcastically as she waited to fall flat on her face. She waited.

Shouldn't I hit the ground already? She thought in confusion.

She opened her eyes to see the ground quite a long way from her. Huh?

"You ok?"

She turned and finally comprehending that Yzak had caught her in time, his arms firmly around her waist as she unwillingly leaned into his muscular frame to avoid putting unneeded pressure on her injured ankle.

This is nice…Where did that thought come from? Shiho eyes widened.

"Let me go! Jerk! Lemme go NOW!" Shiho hissed venomously as she struggled and pounded her fists on his arms trying to free herself from his embrace.

"No." Yzak simply said, as he tightened his hold on Shiho and buried his face in her hair, inhaling the wondrous scent of passion fruit.

"What do you mean no?"

"No. N-O. NO." Yzak repeated, his voice slightly muffled as he spoke through her hair.

This is unfair. I can't even make a proper exit and now I'm here held hostage by my ex-boyfriend. Why does he keep doing this to me?

Shiho's eyes welled up for the third time that day. For a girl who does not cry easily she sure is doing a lot of waterworks today.

"Why? Why do you keep doing this to me? Do I look fun to play with? Does my emotions look like some enticing toys to be play with and thrown aside when you're done?" Shiho said heartbreakingly soft as she stopped struggling against Yzak's arms.

Yzak's head snapped up as he turned Shiho around to face him, her eyes glistening with tears.

"What do you mean?" He asked flatly.

"I mean you keep doing this to me. You get angry and piss for no reason and I'm left trying to figure you out and then the next thing I know you'll be so nice and sweet that I forget about everything. It's a vicious cycle and frankly I'm sick of it. Sick of covering for you when you lost your temper. Sick of you leaving me to clear your mess. Sick of figuring you out. You know what? I can take it. But what I can't take is that how could you doubt me after all the time we've been together? You couldn't even trust me to skate alone with my old partner. And that you will think that I will cheat on you. That's what hurts the most," Shiho said looking at his chest as she knew she won't have the courage to say all that if she was to look him in his eyes. Her vision blurred with tears.

There was a pause. Silence

C'mon say something. I just poured out my whole heart out. Shiho thought desperately.

"Shiho...Shiho. Look at me…Come on lift your head." Yzak said quietly.

Shiho shook her head unable to meet his gaze because she knew she would be a goner the minute her eyes meet those soul-piercing cobalt blue. She felt Yzak's hand lifting her chin up to face him as a solitary tear trickled down her face. Yzak gingerly wiped it away with his thumb.

"Shiho…I'm sorry. I really had no idea. I know it's my fault; I shouldn't have treated you this way. I shouldn't have taken you for granted. I mean you could have picked any guy you want but yet you chose to be with me. I guess that I was…I was scared that one day you will leave me and…and I won't know what to do without you…" Yzak said as he gazed deep into Shiho's eyes. "And when I saw you with Heine just now…I guess…I lost it. I'm sorry."

Shiho's eyes widened with shock. It was unprecedented. She looked deep into his sorrowful eyes, her heart aching so badly. She wanted so much to hold Yzak in her arms and comfort him. The devastated look on his face marred his handsome features. That look did not belong on him. That moment she would do anything to take away that heartpiercing expression.

"You should know that I wouldn't do anything to hurt you. I can't stand to see you in tears," He added seriously. His soft blue eyes held immense volume of unexpressed emotions of longing and yearning as he gazed into the violet.

Shiho was lost for words. How do you respond when a guy bared his soul to you? What words could be said? She could feel herself melting in his strong but gentle embrace. She loved him. She really did love him. She did the only think she could think of. She hugged him, pressing her face in his soft soccer jersey and sobbed quiet tears of contentment. She felt at the point no girl was as lucky as she was.

Yzak smiled as he tightened his arms around her. He pressed his lips on top of her head, kissing her hair.

"Am I forgiven?"

Shiho smiled in his jersey.

"No"

He's not getting off that easy. After all she had 5 days of Cold war to payback. She wanted compensation. Let him sweat some more Shiho smiled impishly at that thought.

Yzak frowned. I'm not? Shit…what else can I do…wait a second… He smirked as an idea struck him.

He gently pried Shiho from him. His hands holding her willowy shoulders as her hands fall beside her.

What's he doing? She thought as her eyes widened.

Yzak smiled mischievously as he cupped her face leaning forward he kissed her on the lips. She froze. She had not expected this. Saying that she was shocked was a crude understatement.

Yzak pulled away and waited for her respond.

Shiho's heart was thumping like crazy, her lips parted slightly. Words failed her.

"You're still not forgiven. And I'm not talking to you," She finally responded. If he thinks that I'll concede after a kiss. He is so freaking wrong!

"Good." Yzak whispered huskily.

Before Shiho could ask what he meant. He leaned forward again, this time kissing her even more fervently. He wrapped his arms around her as he pulled her in deeper. Holding her so tightly as if she might disappear the minute he loosened the hold.

Shiho closed her eyes enjoying the kiss.

Shit! Girl you are suppose to be fuming not kissing! Shiho thought as she continued her inner struggle between pulling away and keep what left of her pride and enjoying this wondrous sensuous kiss.

As Shiho's inner self fought. Yzak was still continuing to kiss her wildly, he smiled against her lips as he felt Shiho relaxing and kissing him back.

Oh freak…Shiho could feel her self-control waning as passion begins to fill her.

Argh! To hell with self-control!

She opened her mouth, drawing Yzak's tongue inside. Her hands traveling up Yzak's back as she clawed his back slightly. Warm and tender, his tongue traced the shape of her lips before ardently claiming them again. Her hands now intertwined in his silky silver hair as she yanked him towards her. He responded hot and feverishly, his hands moving down her back, drawing her if possible even closer.

Finally they parted unwillingly, both slightly breathless as Yzak closed his eyes and leaned forward resting his forehead against hers, his arms still holding her protectively.

Shiho closed her eyes too, letting the warm and fuzzy feeling spread throughout her, somehow her ankle stopped throbbing.

Looking up, she met his eyes.

Mustering what little self-dignity she had left. She whispered.

"I hate you"

Yazk smirked and answered," If you hate me now, I wonder what it'll be like when you love me."

Shiho stared at him. Damn she was supposed to have the last word. Apparently her brain was not functioning right to think of a witty comeback, since her pathetic comeback was –

"You-You're still not forgiven."

"I think I can change that…"

He then captured her lips once again. This time a sweet lingering kiss that left Shiho just as breathless as the one before. As he broke the kiss, Shiho could still feel a slight tingling sensation on her lips, reminisce of his kiss. It was the sweetest kiss she had ever experienced.

She felt her resolution to make Yzak pay slowly fading after the three delicious kisses.

Haish…Forget it.

She sighed as she glanced up at Yzak's gorgeous face.

"What am I going to do with you? Love"

Yzak grinned and said," Well, for starters you can take back the breakup and say yes to dinner at The Haunt with me tonight."

Shiho looked at him seriously and said, "On one condition."

Yzak raised his eyebrows at her request.

"You have to fix my ankle. I can't go with an ice pack strapped to my foot."

Yzak laughed and nodded.

"That's my girl."

Shiho smiled, somehow it sounds so much sexier when he said it. She leaned into his warm and comforting body. Yzak tightened his embrace as he rested his head on hers, smiling slightly.

He was forgiven.


So? How was it? Do you like it??!!I sincerely hope that you did! Hope it'll make up for the less than honey-liciousness of the earlier 2 chapters. Sigh Shiho is so lucky...3 heavenly kisses!!!

Again, I like to apologize for any grammatical mistakes in the chapter, soz…still trying to iron them out. I always lose out on the language part for essay writing because I tend to ignore the small details. A very bad habit:(

Also… I'm not really good at writing kissing scenes so forgive me if it's not eh…passionate enough…gomen.

Please Review! Even a small smiley face :) is enough to brighten my day that someone enjoys my very first fic! Xie Xie da jia! (Thank you everyone!) –coolios mates!- Taiwan rawks. You know i may just turn this Skating woes into series of fics for more gundam seed couples...what do you think?:)
