Chapter song: My dearest by Supercell (Guilty Crown)

if you could know of me someday
then I will definitely be there
even if there isn't a single fragment of hope there
or if I had to be something that's not supposed to be
the fact that you won't forget about me
I know it better than anyone
so, for you, I will dedicate
everything I have now….

(original verse of the song in Romaji)
Itsuka watashi wo shiru koto ga dekita nara
kanarazu sono basho ni watashi wa iru kara
soko ni kibou no hahen sura nakatta toshite mo
watashi ga ate wa naranai mono de ate mo
kimi wa wasurenai de ite kureru koto wo
dare yori mo watashi gas ono koto wo shitteru
dakara watashi wa kimi no tame ni subete wo
ima sasagou….

Chapter 4

The reunited best friends had decided to leave the lair for some alone time, together. Taking a quick glance then look away, as his cheeks flushed with dark crimson blush followed by a goofy sheepish smile and a low stuttering stammer as he ran the back of his head with his hand.

"Jade…"

The beautiful she-wolf, warmly turned to him and lovingly glanced tenderly towards the orange clad terrapin with a waiting smile. "Yes, mikey." She softly but tenderly replied that gave him, sudden tingling shiver through his body and blushed darker, continued stammering.

"I—Uh, well I—um." He immediately paused as jade gently and tenderly grasped his hand, lacing her delicate fingers with his, entwining them warmly. Saying nothing, just gazed up into his beautiful baby blue eyes that she had memorized in her mind while away on her journey to self-discovery and understanding.

"You're trembling, mikey." Jade smiled, and stepped closer towards him as she continuously glanced into his eyes and continued. "Why are you trembling?"

Poor mikey, was unsure himself. He presumably thought that it could be just nerves, even though he was greatly nervous. But he couldn't figure as why. Finally he answered, soon after he had managed to gather the words that were trapped in his throat.

"I'm in love with you, jade."

Wolfjade had blinked surprised at first then closed her eyes as her cheeks flushed with a bright blush and smiled as she softly replied. "I thought it was just me, but I want to tell you." She paused, raising her eyes and fluttered her lashes alittle, Mikey glanced upon her with a expression that he was surprised crossed over to excitement, waiting to hear what she has to say then wolfjade resumed.

"I'm in love with you as well." With a loving and gentle caress of her palm, embracing his tenderly soft terrapin cheek as she rose on her toes, to reach his height and drew closer. Finally their lips, met and captured in a deep passionate but gentle kiss.

Draping his arms around her waist, never knowing how beautiful she felt in his arms as he gently pulled her closer to him and upon his plastron whilst he lowered both hands, to gently grasp the outline of her buttocks. Just slightly around and underneath her tail, wolfjade draped her own arms around him but tightly coiled around his neck and cradled the back of his head, as her fingers entwined the mask tails in-between her fingers.

Then their lips parted, and with a deepening gaze of their eyes glaring as they locked and twinkled like starry glass. Mikey smiled, as he rose one hand to wipe away the tears that welled and streamed down her soft furred cheeks and kissed her forehead, tenderly.

Wolfjade murred tenderly then gasped, lightly with a small squeak as he lowered his arm underneath her legs quickly and scooped her up in his embrace, bridal style. "So, what now?" he wondered, curiously.

"Well, I was thinking of just enjoying been together after a year." Wolfjade answered, tenderly smiled with warm love. Mikey returned the loving smile and nodded agreeably, saying nothing and closed his eyes then tenderly kissed her soft lips as she blushed alittle and murred again, kissing him back just as tenderly and soft.

Winchester Ranch house, kitchen…

Rachael hummed happily, as she was in the mood for some cooking which she was lucky that her morning sickness hadn't kicked in just yet. Chopping the shallots for the new style Japanese fried rice that she took the liberty to experiment and make for everyone, including herself. Picking up the chopping board and used the knife to push the chopped shallots to the bowl that waited near by, continuously hummed as she felt a pair of strong muscled arms embrace her waist as she turned to nuzzle her cheek, gently against the nose of her beloved mate.

"What is cooking?" Raphael asked, nibbling on her neck softly.

"Just experimenting with the fried rice. Want some?" rachael offered, smiling. Raphael continued to nuzzled and nibble her neck, shoulder as he softly answered.

"Sure, I'm game."

Rachael lightly scoffed then confronted him. "Are you saying I am a terrible cook?" Raphael replied, blushing.

"No, of course not. I was just saying that I am willing to try this new styled fried rice." He sheepishly smiled, hoping to soothe the mood. Rachael huffed playfully then said.

"Don't think you will get any dessert later, if that is what you are thinking."

Raphael blushed darkly, gulped fast then stated with a stammered. "If you are offering, I will be happy to accept the dominance of my fair lady in making her happy."

Rachael rolled her eyes, scoffed again then commented. "Perve."

"How am I a perve?" raphael replied, tilting his head confused also curiously wondered. Rachael gently grasped his jaw and cooed.

"You look so cute when you're confused, and I was joking." She winked, poking her tongue out him teasing. Raphael chuckled and softly grabbed her tongue with his lips as she moaned, shocked. Then asked through her muttered speech as her tongue was trapped in his lips.

"Ok, you can let go of my tongue babe." He chuckled, letting her tongue go and kissed her nose.

"Don't mean you will get what you want later, mister."

"Aww." He whined and buried his jaw over her shoulder, tightening his hold around Rachael but still remained gentle.

"Oh alright, here. Taste this." Feeding raphael a small spoonful of the food. Smiling warmly and taking the food tasting offering. Churred pleasingly as he closed his eyes and commented soon he was able to speak.

"That is good. Can I have more?" he grinned.

"No, you can wait. Just like everyone else." Rachael told him, firmly with a smile. "Now, you would be a doll and set the table pretty please." Buttering her lashes to bewitch Raphael in doing as she commanded.

"Uh, ok." He glanced, blushing then kissed her shoulder once again and released her from his embrace.

'What am I going to do with you?' she wondered to herself, smiling whilst watching the red clad terrapin gather the bowls and chop sticks, placing them presently on the family table. 'How ever did I become so lucky?' she wondered again, gently caressed her flat abdomen.

I know this has been a long wait for the update, well hope it was worth the wait as I couldn't believe I had a headache of ideas to figure through to break my writers block for this continuance as I hope you like it. Hope it was worth the wait. I know it was short too, as I think it would be far too soon for the love birds to be taking their place in the bed, hehehe. I know, I am cheeky but as it was the wedding of Rachael and Raphael hasn't taken place yet. Because, it wouldn't be exactly a wedding without jade right?

Anyway, onward to the next chapter and see you all soon. Tootles for now. love you girls, hope you will like this one as much you enjoyed the last one. Oh, before I forget to mention I love the songs from some of the anime movies I enjoy watching and I chose; from guilty crown.

The opening song mentioned above as I had to search for the lyrics so I could use them for the short reunion scene between wolfjade and mikey. Hope you like the song as it is quite beautiful and I envisioned it to be perfect for the adorable couple.
