The Confession

Hey everyone! It's Animecartoonlover36! Here's the last chapter of this story! Anyway, I don't own Yuma, Kotori, and the other Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal characters. I also don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal. Enjoy. P.S. Italics are thought bubbles.

"It's because I…love you!" Yuma cried out, his face turning red. Kotori gasped when she heard that. "Is this…true?" she asked, wiping away her tears. Yuma nodded. "Yes, it's true. I love you Kotori. If anything terrible happened to you, I would feel horrible." he told her firmly. Kotori was silent for a while. She then started to giggle and some tears slid down her cheeks. "Why are you crying?" Yuma asked, confused.

"These are tears of joy, Yuma. I'm crying tears of joy because…I love you too." Kotori explained, smiling. "You do?" Yuma asked, surprised. "Yes, it is. I loved you so much that I always stayed by your side at duels. But…I was afraid to tell you because I thought that you just liked me as a friend. So, I never told you the truth. But now, I know how you feel about me." Kotori confessed.

"Kotori…I'm glad to hear that." Yuma murmured. They both smiled and laughed. Suddenly, the door flew open and a nurse came in. "Visiting hours is over so you have to go now." the nurse told Kotori. The nurse then noticed that Yuma was awake. "Oh! You're awake now? How do you feel?" the nurse asked, quickly walking over. "I'm feeling okay. My head kind of hurts though." Yuma answered, rubbing his head. The nurse nodded and dashed out the door to get a doctor.

Kotori started to walk out the door but then stopped and turned around. "I'll see you tomorrow after school, okay?" Kotori explained. "Okay! See you tomorrow!" Yuma shouted, smiling. Kotori grinned and then walked out the door. After she had left, Astral appeared out of the key and smirked. "So, you finally told her the feelings you had?" Astral questioned, curious. "Yes, and it turns out that she loves me too." Yuma told the spirit. "Well then, observation #17: When you sacrifice something for someone, you will find their love." Astral concluded. Yuma just nodded and smiled.

The next few days, Kotori always visited Yuma. This time, she always had a smile on her face. Sometimes, she gave him a kiss on the cheek when she was really happy. After Yuma woke up, the doctors tested his brain everyday to see if anything was wrong. Nothing was out of the ordinary, so Yuma just had to rest in the hospital for a couple of weeks.

A couple of weeks later, the doctors told Yuma that he could be let out of the hospital. On that day, Akari asked Kotori to walk Yuma home and she agreed. After checking out, Yuma and Kotori strolled out of the hospital. Kotori grinned and turned toward Yuma. "So, how does it feel to finally be out of the hospital?" she asked. "It feels great! My head stopped spinning, I can finally go duel again, and I found out that the one I love loves me back!" Yuma yelled, wrapping his arms around her waist.

Kotori smiled and wrapped her arms around Yuma's neck. "Yeah, everything is perfect again." she murmured. She began to move her head closer to Yuma's and Yuma did the same. They then closed their eyes and their lips met. Kotori felt happy because she got her first kiss from the one she loved. She could feel his firm lips on her soft lips and she couldn't help but moan a bit. After a few seconds, they pulled apart from each other. They both smiled and clasped their hands together. "I will always protect you, Kotori." Yuma told her softly. Kotori nodded with a smile. Yuma and Kotori then walked home, happy to have found their love.

Oh wow! I can't believe that I wrote a kissing scene! But it's really short. Anyway, thanks for reading this story and thank you for reviewing. I'm glad that you like my story. Anyway, stay tuned for the next story! Bye!
