Review Responses (THANK YOU for taking the time too):

Too Kind Hearted:

James Birdsong (Guest): Thanks for that. More Maid Sama! coming up, besides I adore the possibility of Tora/Sakura.

It's Better This Way:

BearfootTruck: Huh, unexpected famous actor then. You're still right, Cecilia's father Raymond doesn't do pork products. But by extension, Cecilia being a picky eater, doesn't herself. Nope, this wasn't the shortest ever. That title goes to my Sonic/Avatar: The Last Airbender one-shot: Gloom meet Your Doom, at 112 words. Still glad this warmed your heart. Brought a smile on my face knowing that. Thanks for the Favorite here.

Big empty amber-brown eyes still stained with more uncontrollable tears, look to the gloomy thundering clouds. Every step out of the hospital's sliding double doors feels like cement holding her feet in place.

'Its. . .hard to breath. . .'

The only clear thought bouncing around in her head. Trembling hands shake more, struggling to ready herself to bolt, to run. . .back to the final round of the competition.

"My dream, became his dream."

The tiniest of smiles takes her lips. Still her feet refuse to obey her command to leave.

"NAJIKA!"

Slightly over her right shoulder blade, staring indifferently as Daichi runs towards her. The tiniest of smiles, quickly vanishes as if it wasn't there.

"Please before you go, eat something. He'd hate me if let you starve." The shaggy brown haired boy tries for lighthearted banter, swiftly he silences himself seeing the prodigy about to cry again.

Wordlessly he hands her a chocolate peanut butter coated candy bar. Tearing the wrapping, she bites a small piece. Easily swallowing it, still she hands it back.

"I'm not hungry, and It doesn't taste like anything anyway."

"What? But I can taste the chocolate and smooth peanut butter just fine." With a mouthful, Daichi stares flabbergasted at an equally shocked Najika.

"NAJIKA!" The once sour model Akane runs out. Smacking into Daichi's right side, not caring she is in her crush's arms from a near fall. The smile on her beautiful face gets them confused.

"It's a miracle! He's- he's- Sora's-" Akane couldn't finish as Najika bolted pass them. Not sparing either a glance she disappears behind the double doors.

Daichi grabs Akane's face, no warning smashes their lips together. Releasing her lips, he grins sheepishly as her rosy all consumed face brightens. "Um that was the heat of the moment. Thanks for telling me, us that well. . ."

Akane pulls Daichi into a bone crushing embrace. "It's okay."

-S/N-

Honey brown eyes glance to his right, not risking moving yet. Still his smile says everything. Najika strongly resists the urge to run and startled him.

They embrace so carefully, so loving. "SORA!" Najika cries into his left shoulder blade. The nurses around the two smile unable to break the couple's moment.

Najika caresses Sora's bruised face, kissing his nose. "I don't care you're not my Flan Prince, you are still the Prince of my Heart.

In pain doesn't stop him, Sora pulls her, their lips truly meeting.

"Thank you for being such a forgiving princess."

"Um I'm sorry, but you both look like you need food." A nurse walks in pushing a wheeled tray. Sora lightly chuckles as Najika happily takes bowing to the nurse, as the rest follow their co-worker out.

"I'm starving!" Najika remarks chowing down on the strawberry jello.

"Good, you need your strength when competing." At Sora's words, Najika offers the spoon to him. He just as happily takes the bite from her.

"Best strawberry jello I've ever tasted." Najika giggles agreeing with her boyfriend.

THE END!

Second Author's Note: No way was I leaving Najika's Sora dead!
