Firstly, I am sooooo sorry for not updating. We have this huge project at school, which is already late, and not to mention some personal problems. So if you people will forgive me, ( and put down pointy sticks) I will not make this author's note big and will get on with the story. And this chapter will not have any review thanx because I am really tired. Oh yeah, anything bolded is part of something else so it won't interfere with the dialog. Be warned. Lots of M/M fluff.

Enjoy.

Ch.6 Truly, Madly, Deeply

"Mitsuru?" Mahiru had just finished poking him as his head popped up. "Wha…" Mitsuru too tired to get up just plopped back down on Mahiru. "Ten more minutes…" He mumbled. Mahiru shrugged her shoulders and decided to shake him awake. It was the only way she was going to get to school on time. Mitsuru on the other hand had no intention of getting up. When Mahiru picked him up, his mouth was open and DRULE was coming out of his mouth dripping on Mahiru. (Imagine that…O.o) "Gross, Mitsuru!" she yelled instinctively dropping him on the bed and trying to get up. It would probably take a marching band to wake him up.

Akira, who was still under the bed at the time felt the rumble. "Huh, Wha…" Forgetting he was under the bed, he bumped his head and fell unconscious. Poor Mahiru 's saviour was now unconscious and she was left to deal with Mitsuru all by her lonesome.

"Damn…" Mahiru said unknowingly. Shocked that she just said that, she covered her mouth and did what her parents had taught her to do if she ever cursed or swore. Mahiru, using all her strength got up and ran to the washroom and got some soap and water and rinsed her mouth with it. She accidentally swallowed some of the soap and now had the hiccups. "Gre, hic, at! Now I have, hic, hiccups." Mahiru went back into the room to see that Mitsuru was still sleeping. She looked at the clock and realized there was no way she was going to get to school until lunch the earliest. She sighed. Sighing must've scared the hiccups away because she no longer had them.

Mitsuru was still sleeping and she decided she might as well clean her room. The first place she started for was under the bed. Mahiru looked under the bed and the first thing she saw was a whole bunch of dust bunnies!"This will have to get cleaned up." she said. Not wanting to wake up Mitsuru, she went under the bed and cleaned up the most she could before she bumped into something. "That's funny. I don't remember putting anything under the bed."

She took a closer look and saw, "Akira!" Mahiru yelled by accident and woke up the werewolf. Akira looked at Mahiru and said "Aren't you supposed to be at school?" Mahiru shook her head. This was not the time to be questioning her.

"The question is, What are you doing in my room!" Akira scratched his head. "Umm…"

"Oh yeah!" Mahiru hushed him and pointed to the sleeping tengu. "Sorry…Well yesterday night , I had a weird dream so I went to get some milk when I saw Mitsuru . He was sleep-walking with a death glare on his face. It scared me so I ran into your room and under your bed though I had no idea Mitsuru was here too. Do you know why?" Mahiru looked over at Mitsuru. 'What would make him want to come here sleep walking?' Mahiru thought.

"Okay Akira! Time to get out of my room and never come back!" Mahiru said laughing evilly. Akira was scared of this and said while rushing to the door "And I will not tell anyone about the events that have just happened!" He saluted and ran out of the room like a little girl.

'Okay. Now that Akira is gone, its time to do some serious cleaning.' She jumped up and took an oath. "No matter what, I will clean this room before 3 today." As she said that Mitsuru woke up. "Good morning Mahiru."

Mitsuru's POV( Point of View)

'Did those words just come out of my mouth! What the hell!' Mitsuru thought. "Good morning to you too." Mahiru waved.

"What the hell am I doing in your room?" Mahiru thought for a moment. "Why don't you just go back to sleep and stop making my room toxic with your cursing!" Mahiru yelled at him.

"Well I don't wanna go back to sleeping in your bed!" Mitsuru yelled.

"In that case, you might as well pick up a broom and start helping me clean this pig-sty." Mahiru thought for another minute. 'I think she's thinking of black-mail…' Mitsuru thought.

"If you don't, I won't tell you what you're doing in my room." ' Oh shit. She got me there.' Mitsuru humfed and got a broom to start cleaning.

Around 2:30, they finally finished. Mitsuru gave up half way through and decided it would be better to sleep. Mahiru was very tired after all that cleaning and decided a nap would be good for her to. She climbed into her bed right beside Mitsuru and sighed. She hoped she would have happy dreams with him there.

It was around 8 o'clock that Mitsuru decided to wake up. 'I feel like someone else is there.' He looked around beside him to see Mahiru sleeping soundly holding onto his arm. Not wanting to wake her up, Mitsuru tried getting up but Mahiru looked up at him with sleepy eyes and said

'I'll be your wish I'll be your dream I'll be your fantasy'

"Don't leave. I need some one to stay with me." 'What's she getting at…'

"Please don't leave me…" With that she fell back asleep.

"Mahiru…" His eyes softened and he picked her up with strong arms. "I won't leave you Mahiru."

'I'll be your hope I'll be your love Be everything that you need'

Mitsuru turned into a full tengu and opened the window. Since it was summer, it was warm outside and he didn't have to worry about her freezing.

He listened to her breathe a bit more before he took off, just to make sure she was still there. Hugging her closer, he took off. 'Don't worry Mahiru. I will protect you.'

'I love you more with every breath Truly, Madly, Deeply do… That leave me deeply too…

Mitsuru was flying when Mahiru woke up again. "W, Where are we?" Mitsuru looked down on her. "We are going somewhere special." he said plainly. ' Why, why do I suddenly feel this way…what is this feeling…'

Finally stopping, Mahiru looked around at her surroundings. All she could see were trees and the beach line. "Why did you take me here?" she asked. "I just need to prove something to myself." He said plainly.

I will be strong I will be faithful I'm counting on a new beginning…

' Maybe if I can protect her tonight, just tonight, I will find a new meaning to life. Maybe, just maybe, the reason I am who I am is because I have no one to love and protect.'

A reason for living A new meaning ya

"All you need to prove is that you need someone to love." Mahiru turned to face him. "Mitsuru…" He shushed her and looked her in the eye. "Mahiru, I…" Their faces were closing in till they could feel each other's breath on their faces.

I want to stand with you on the mountain I want to bathe with you in the sea

The gap between them soon faded and they were in a deep kiss.

I wanna lay like this for ever Until the sky falls down on me

When they finally pulled back, Mitsuru looked into Mahiru' s eyes and said "I finally found what I need to prove to myself."

"Mitsuru."

And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky I'll make a wish to heaven that will make you want to cry

Mitsuru and Mahiru lay down on the beach just as they were. Happy for being with each other and happy that they were alone. Looking up, Mitsuru saw a shooting star and said to Mahiru "Make a wish…who knows, it just might come true."

"I wish that I can have someone to love and protect. Someone that will stay with me forever." Mahiru looked over at Mitsuru with loving eyes and whispered 'Mitsuru…' "Huh. Mahiru. Why are you crying? Was it me…I'm sorry."

The tears of joy for all the pleasure and the certainty

"No. It wasn't you. It's just, your wish. It was so sweet." She lay down on her back in the sand. Mitsuru lay down right next to her and put his arm around her and hugged her close to him. "Those weren't tears of sadness. They were tears of joy."Mahiru whispered.

That we're surrounded by the comfort and protection

Of the highest power and lonely hours The tears divide you

Mitsuru looked at Mahiru and kissed her lightly on the forehead. "You know, I was just thinking. What if this is destiny…you know, it was all meant to be this way." Mahiru looked at Mitsuru and closed her eyes.

I want to stand with you on the mountain I want to bathe with you in the sea

"I believe everything happens for a reason. You and me. Its seems that now it should be called 'we'." (quote from winnie the pooh )

Lying down together felt like heaven because no one took advantage.

I wanna lay like this for ever Until the sky falls down on me

She fell asleep in his arms as he fell asleep in hers. This was just like heaven. Too bad dreaming couldn't be the same.

Mitsuru and Mahiru's dream

There was complete and total oblivion. Then there was her. She was so far away in the distance he could hardly see her. Suddenly, he could see her! But she was still far away. I started running calling out to her. She wouldn't answer.

Oh can't you see it baby' Don't have to close your eyes

Then, she said it, the words I had been longing to hear. "I love you, Mitsuru." Shocked at what she said, he didn't stop running. "Wait for me…"

She said it again. "I love you." "Then why won't you wait…"

'cause it's standing right before you

End

Awoken with a start, Mitsuru looked around wildly while Mahiru did the same. They caught each other's eyes and hugged tightly.

"Don't ever leave me, Mitsuru! I love you."

Mitsuru pulled away from her and said "I love you too, Mahiru. I promise to protect you with my life."

All that you need will surely come…

They lay down again looked at each other. Falling asleep again was all that they needed to be happy.

I'll be your wish I'll be your dream I'll be your fantasy

I'll be your hope I'll be your love Be everything that you need

I love you more with every breath
Truly, madly, deeply, do..
That leave me deeply too'

I wanna stand with you on a mountain Iwanna bathe with you in the sea wanna lay like this forever

Until the sky falls down on me

Sure seems like a one shot ending. Well its not because I can't right a one shot. Sorry for the long wait. I wrote a song in this chappie because it came to me while reading another fanfic. It s by Cascada and called Truly, Madly, Deeply. If you do listen to this song you will know how beautiful it is. I wrote it this long because who knows how long it will be before I update again. Plus, It's my b-day on Wednesday! Yay!

Bi!
