Posts by Lost and Found~

Anju laughed breathlessly, tilting her lips to his ear. " No one that matters as much as you," she whispered. Axel handed her off to Luke. "She is yur burden and joy now," he said with a wink. Anju smiled, linking her arms with Luke's slowly. Joan smiled as he began to say the vereses of marriage, opening the printed paper. "So we are not going to have a tradional wedding today," he said and small eruption of laughter came from the small group. Anju smiled, gazing over at Luke. He had cut his hair and everything. He had changed quite a bit since the first time she met him in those halls. His hair was cut and she wanted to reach out and touch it with a small giggle but she didn't. Kurosaki nodded, with the concerntration of a thousand men he stared at thsoe rings, making sure nothing happened to them. He didn't even move of a muscle. He had been practicing weeks for this, even wtih the pillows on the couch. All that practice amounted this.

Savannah's eyes widened as she launched out of the bath, water splaying everywhere as her whine pilled. " No!!! " She ran to him grabbing his arm and hugging it as if she could keep him back with the littel strength she had, her body shaking. "Please, Takeshi!!! Please!" shes aid, but by the look in his eyes she already knew it was too late. There were no tears in her eyes. She felt no happy feelings or fondness towards her father. She swalowed slowly, gazing up at Takeshi. "Please, don't kill them. I wont forgive you if you do," she said. Her body was shaking now. The brusies lined her back and thes scatch of his ring on her face. She cupped Takeshi's cheeks and drew his lips closer to her's, her lips brushing the corner of his. " I won't forigve you," she whispered. " Please, please calm down. I have faith in you. This was my fault."

After a while Joan raised his hands. " May you present the rings and all that jumbo," he teased gently. Kursoaki got this determined face, carefully he stepped forward, prestenting the rings to Luke first. The look of the determined focus was all his own but his expression was a little like Anju's except he stuck his tongue out in concentration. Axel bit back a snicker as he tried not to laugh at hte boys face. Usui cleared his throat as he stiffled a laugh. Anju gazed down at Kurosaki, ruffling his hair as she gazed back up at Luke wtih a dazzling smile. Joan began to say his verses again as the ring ceremony started up agian.

Savannah's eyes began to glisten as the realization came to her face. She slowly wrapped her arms around him in a hug, resting her head against his chest. " I do't hate you, nor could ever. I could never hold a grudge on you espically for doing this. But I- I can't explain it. Its as if I have failed at solving my own problem. Its as if I have faild working through my own hands to get away from him." Her eyes remained downcast as her plush breasts pressed up against his chest, but she was not trying to seduce him. "Takeshi..." shes said, her body shaking. " If that is what you feel you need to do to keep me safe I wont stop you... He is the last family I have left...Even if he is a pathetic excuse for one. Her eyes closed as her hands slowly slid from his back as she stood in front of him. " But perhaps your right... That it has been long overdue..." she said, as she stiffled a sniffle. She rasied a hand and cupped his cheek, not looking at him as her fingers slid from his skin as she brushed past him. "Takeshi...your a very loyal friend and lover...thank you," she said, striding out of the room with nothing on as the maids quickly all rushed to her aid, shooing her into her room and her lack of clothes as they wanted to get her quickly dressed in a nice corset and make her fit for human eyes. The hall was left empty aside from a few butlers and maids.

Anju took her face into his hands, kissing him passionately as her eyes slowly fell closed. A big grin came past their loving kiss as the world started to fade around them. As the past and all their struggle remained present yet faded into the past as teh reached a new beginning in their life. She pulled away and grinned at Luke, quickly pressing her lips to his again, wraping her arms around his neck as her hands clenched lightly in his hair. Kurosaki applouded too with the rest of the group. Axel whistled at them. Anju leaned deeper into him for a moment before pulling away, staring deep into those beautful silver grey eyes. " I love you," she whispered." Forever Luke." She breathed out slow, cupping his cheek and smiling her sweet goregous kind smile.

Savannah breathed deep and flinched as the maids got her dressed, leaving her alone once again in a soft gold dress. She bit her lip as she fought the tears. It was pressing against her bruises. She struggeld to untie it but to noy much avail. "Takeshi... Help me get out of this please... I'm in my bedroom now and the door is locked so no one can come in or out to interupt. Her eyes down cast to her lap. " I need to talk to you my loyal pup," she said wtih a soft smile, reaching and touching the necklace that rested gently in the nape of her neck. " Its about us getting married," she said, closing her eyes for a momenta nd sitting softly on the bed, gazing out at the open window, wating. She knew that he had there was no way in hell he was going to leave the grounds anyway now that he had seen her body. " You can stay here for the night if you so wish too," she said, gazing out at the window, watching the soft wind rustle the trees around her. Mr. Greyhearst was doing his normal business. Checking on his wealth yet in fact he had a business partner over and a younger one at that. " So how is Madam Savannah fairing?" he asked politely. He really did no thave the slightest interest in the girl. He laughed. " My daughter is the town whore I am sure she having her nice fill of everything," he said as he sipped his brandy. "Anyway this buisness propspal of making bank in the east is rathe risky and you are very pusavive about the rewards of such. I am afraid I am only going to patron half of wha tyou ask. I cannot afford to place a small fortune in it utnil I see results." The man seemed to redden a bit. " Thats fine, I have another patron who has offered to pay the other half so it works out," he said. Mr. Greyhearts laughed. " You didn't mention that before boy. You really are trying to leech me," he said. The man laughed. " No sir, just trying to see to yoru benifits." Mr. Greyhearts rolled his eyes."Well you see to yorus and I will see to mine son."

Axel scoffed. " At least I can dance better than you!" he called back with a soft laugh. Anju laughed joyously, clasping Luke's hand. "Even the drool cups?" she asked with a gentle smile as they moved with the crowed of people towards the dojo. " I am sure they wil be surprised," she sadi wtih a small eruption of giggles. She was so excited it was if she was young again. A woman still but as happy and as giddy as a school girl. She could now spend the rest of her life with Luke, legaly. And even though it was in teh eyes of legal now. It was another way to be bound to Luke and finally truly become apart of his family, sharking his last name. She leaned into him as they walked, resting her head on his shoulder as they walked along the road to the shrine, into the unkown, together, as it always should be, and always will be.

Savannah stood slowly, going to him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned up, before he could protest she kissed his lips. " No, nothing is wrong now," she said, pulling away and sliding her hands down his chest. " I wanted to make sure you were okay," she said looking up at him with a guilty smile. She took in a breath and winced slightly at the corest. She turned around and walked over her mirror. " I know you are going to stay and roam the grounds all night if I let you. Instead if you want to keep me safe....Stay with me tonight." She undid her locks as she glanced over her shoulder at him wtih a bleeding brown gaze. " I think it would make us both feel a little better," she said. " And I know this is a littel out of character for me but...call me scared."

Anju leaned up slowly kissing his lips as she squeezed his hands gently. She nodded. " Hai," she whispered. "From now on I am never leaving you and whatever we face we will continue to face together. But in a different way now. We will face it together as husbnad and wife." She looked around the dojo and smiled. " None of this would have been possible without you Luke and to be honest, the woman I have become today...." she said, turning back towards him." Would have never happened without you."

Savannah smirked slightly. " They saw me naked and wanted to get me in clothes that was all," she said, going over to him. She suddenly in a swift motion as her body could mangage straddled his waist. " If you would be so kind to remove my coreset Lord Takeshi..." she said, her eyes locked to his as her lips slowly moved to his. " I wont disprect your compremise with me until marriage, yet I can still have a little fun until then," she said with a gentle smile. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissesd his chin. She could tell he was still upset and worreid. She wanted to ease his mind, assuring him that she was here and distracting him from his thoughts. She rested her cheek against his as she waited for him to remove her painful coreset.

Anju laughed. " Yes a good thing too. But I mean in a couple of years or so I might need some of your pregancy advice she said with a soft smirk, leaning into Luke and gazing up at him breifly. Axel came up behind Rebecca, wrapping his arms around her bloated belly and rested his chin on top of her head. "So whats going to be weird?" he asked, leaning into Rebecca lightly with a smirk and tilting his head cutely. Anju rolled her eys with a laugh. " Always the best times Axel," she said. He gave a wink. " You know it sis." he said. " But yeah as you guys were saying I never thought the guy I wante to kill or I thought was boy would grow up into such a fine man one that I almost think deserves my beloved sister," he said wtih a proud grin. "Thats as close as a compliment you will get in Axel langauge baby," Anju said with a smirk, sipping on her white wine and glancing around as people began to be seated. The room was full of life and laughter. It was an amazing feeling to see everyone around so happy and full of light in the soft lighting and the spirit of the dojo.

Savannah bit her lip and laughed as he grew tired. " I can handle the rest," she said, taking off the rest of her clothes and hopping back on his lap as she began to unbotton Takeshi's white dress shirt. " Your turn," she said cheerfully. " And before you try and fight I am saying right now that I am respescting your wishes still, and I will not cross them because they are my own wishes too," she said, kissing his cheek softly and running her hands through his hair slowly and gazing deep into his blue eyes. " I know you are worried scared and angry, but I want to thank you. And I want to remind you that I am here and that I am yours. So please, don't look so worried and be so angry. I haved learned what I have done wrong. And I want to thank you for your patience. And remind you how much I am truly here as much as I can without making either of us unhappy," she whispered, kissing down his neck and grazing her teeth softly along his skin, shoving him slowly down on the bed. " You are stronger than me of course so anything you don't want to do I really have no choice in the matter," she said with a soft laugh,reaching slowly for his riding pants.

Anju was talking to another person next to her she did not hear about the suprirse time. But she did hear about his balls comment. Her cheeks reddened as she lookd back at him and laughed. " Sorry baby. It wasnot my intention... Well I mean it was at the time but...you know," she coughed and looked up at Luke wtih an embrassed smile, leaning towards him and kissing his cheek. " I love you baby."

(Skip to their wedding night when they get back home?)

Savannah looked up at Takeshi, her eyes narowing. She slowly stood, hugging him close and kissing his chest. "What I meant is. We don't have to concamate the marriage tonight. But can at least get to know the body of my future husband? Most woman betrothed have already had sex with their bethroed before they even get marrige. Just the promise is enough for them. I am respecting the wishes of not concimating the marriage," shes said releasing him slowly. " But may I get to know your body at least?" she asked, raising a hand to cup his cheek. " Can we grant our desires that much without over stepping our bounds?" she asked, kissing him softly. "And I wanted to tell you, my father has agreed to ensure that wedding is next week. He doesn't want me to be associated with him anymore and after that stunt he is eager to marry me off in fear of you having seconds thoughts," she said, slowly taking his hands.

Anju laughed softly, climbing in."Are we leaving right away baby or are we heading off right away?" she asked curiously." Because I woudl really like a little bit of time right now to enjoy my new husband," she said biting her lip. Axel smiled and waved them off. Joan smiled and hung back waving them off too."Take care of her Luke," he said, as they disappeared. She smiled and waved back at them, glancing at her ring for a moonlgiht as it caught the glimmering moon witin the ring itself. She turned to Luke driving, smiling goregously and loveingly at him.

Savannah's breath caught in her throat as she let out a small little moan, touching the back of his neck, running her hands up his back and into his hair. She pressed her stomach up agianst his as her body shivered against his touch. " Takeshi.... Please," she whispered. " I know... I know what it means to you. And I want it too. I want to share that with you. I accept that some of it as if of animals. But I animals till have hearts," she said, tilting her head back as she leaned up into him, her lips parting. "Please.... I want to be yours. I want my body to be the territory you roam, no one else's, ever again," she said, her heart beating faster in her chest and she knew he could hear it too. " Look what ou do to me," she said with a breathles laugh.

Anju held his hand tightly. A smile came to her lips as she giggled. " I feel amazing to be called upon such a name that I have seemed to be waiting for most of my life. I have never been called such a thing that feels so mcuh like me," she admitted, smiling as she gazed over at Luke. "And how do you feel Mr. Takahashi?" she asked. Axel smirked, holding the sleeping Kurosaki in his arms. " Only a little honey, I can drive still. I am perfectly functioning. I was good tonight," he said with a big proud grin on his face.

Savannah's eyes fluttered shut as she bit her lip. " No, I havnt had anyone love me either. This is all kinda new for me," she said with a soft laugh. She slid her hands up and down his chest, rubbing him as she drew her hands down his chest towards his pants, rubbing the lump in his pants for a moment, grinning. "Someone is a little excited," she said bitng her lip. She unfastened his pants and let in a short pant as he kissed down her neck. " Mmmm. That feels good," she said with a nervous laugh. " It doesnt hurt...'

Anju squeezed his hand lightly, gazing out the window with a smile on her face. " I am looking foreward to being an adult with you," she said wtih a soft laugh. " Considering that we have been through so much together as children. I suppose its only right that we grow stronger together still," she said, gazing down at her ring wtih a soft blush. "So where are we going?" she asked, her eyes flickering back up tp Luke's face as he drove.

Savannah bit her lip and shivered. She removed the remains of his clothing off. She looked down for a moment and then up into his eyes, stealing a breath in before kissing him softly on the lips. She ran her hands up into his hair. Yet her body was not tensed. She was relaxed and happy. She was not used to such gentleness and kindness. She wrapped her arms around Takeshi's neck, tilting her head up into his lips and his warm embrace. " Your so gentle...." she whispered, kissing his lips and down his neck, snuggling into his shoulder for a moment, before pulling away to look into his face, a genuine happy smile came across her face. " Who knew that I could ever be this happy," she breathed.

Anju pouted. " You mean everyone else heard and I didn't?" she sad wtih a whine. She crossed her arms to her chest and pretended like she was really upset and then suddenly leaned over and kissed his cheek. She looked outside her eyes widened as a bright chidlish smile came to her face. " Its snow!" she said like a happy child who had not seen a long lost friend in years. She glanced back over at Luke with a raised eyebrow and a happy smile. " Now I am really curious."

Savannah laughed, shaking her head. " I wouldn't put your poor cousin through that," she said. " I like her too much to give her that much of a headache. But reading in your office all day doesnt sound so bad," she said, running her hand down his cheek. I would love to ride the horses all the time as well. But I'll try not to wander off until I know the area well enough," she said. " And well... Every now and then the puppies might just happen to get into the house," shs said with a giggle. "That tickles!" she said, squirming a bit with a laugh as she snuggled closer into him, leaning up as their lips met once more.

Anju grumbled and sat there, but she smiled at the thought of what he was hinting at. She nestled deeper into the seat. "Alright alright. I am up," she said. She gazed out the window with a soft smile, humming to herself as she wondered where they were going and what they were going to do tomorrow. She had a feeling it had something to do with the snow.

Axel was not in bed that night but outside smoking a cigarette. He sighed softly as the smoke escaped from his lips. He knew Rebecca hated it but he couldn't quit cold turkey either. But in fact, he had his reasons for smoking it tonight. His animal instincts were kicking in. And something was not right. Something was going to happen soon and he didn't like the look of it. "Ren..what are you doing out there?" he breathed, taking in another long drag of his cigarette. He gazed up at the dark sky. He heard Rebecca moving around inside but paid no mind to it. He knew her foot steps now and her breath. He knew it was her without having to turn around and look. It was an interesting talent he had acquired over the years of being a monster.

(Sure, you start.)

Axel was not surprised by her sudden appearance. He shook his head, looking over his shoulder at her with a smile. " No Becca, thanks though. You should be getting back to bed though soon," he said, snuffing out the remains of his cigarette and standing, walking over to her and wrapping her in a hug. He let out a soft sigh. " So what is my pregnant beloved doing up so damn early in the morning?" he asked, raising a brow and gazing down at her questiongly.

Anju's eyes widened as she saw the sign of the ski resort. " Oh Luke! Its wonderful!" she said with a laugh, hiking her dress up a bit as she went around the other side. "Let me help with the bags," she said in a sing song voice. " Its not too cold out here too. That's nice," she said, humming and laughing as she gave a quick spin around in the snow, her long white dress flowing around her like a slow white spiral of light. She laughed, staring back at Luke with a big happy smile. "Its perfect."

Savannah turned over to face him, pressing up against up and snuggling close. She shook her head. " No, after all that now your getting self conscious?" she asked, shaking her head and closing her eyes, snuggling deeper into his chest. " Just stay here," she whispered. " No one is coming in or out. I have all the keys to my room, I even stole them from the maids.... No one is getting in here. So try and relax," she said. " ...unless it was that awful," she said, her eyes hardening as she slowly sat up, running her hands through her hair slowly.

Axel blinked and then scoffed as he seemed to get a bit of a pout on his face. " I was not sherlocking," he grumbled. " I was just having a smoke because I couldn't sleep," he grumbled, gazing down at Rebecca a little worriedly and then placing a hand on her lower abdomen. " Hey you, go back to sleep. Both of you need your rest," he said, kneeling down and kissing her tummy.

Anju grinned brightly back up at Luke. " Not as beautiful as those silver eyes of yours in the glistening snow..." she breathed, going to him their lips inches apart as she gave him a swift and tender kiss before moving away, carrying some of the lighter bags as she practically skipped towards the resort, although she was careful of her dress and heels on the stone of course.

Savannah raised her eyebrow. " It depends on what I get with which answer," she said, shamelessly looking down at what she wanted before tracing back up this eyes. "And someone is getting a little excited. Your tail is out dear," she said with a smirk, stretching up tall. " Its up to you what you wish to do to me. I am simply along for the ride...for now," she said with a growling devilish grin on her face. "Attack if you dare~" She leaned up right next to his ear. "Do your worst dog," she whispered, tugging a bit hard on his ear.

Axel watched her with a bit of effort. He very much wanted to lift her up into his arms and carry her all the way up the stairs. But alas he was still not strong enough and it pissed him off. He let out of a soft animal growl under his breath as he placed a hand on the small of her back, helping gently push her up the stairs the other, hand took her's and began to help guide her up the steps. "And before you say something smart about me helping you. Remember that you are pregnant and that you are taking care of two and it would be very bad if you tripped and fell on accident."

Anju gazed around the room, her dress swishing about her as she hopped over to the window her jaw dropped in awe at the snow as her mind whirled with all that happened. She looked back at Luke. "We are alone now Mr. Takahashi," she said with a grin, sitting in a chair near the window to take off her heels. She gave a big sigh of relief leaning back into the soft plush chair. " I love these heels to death but I am so happy that they are off." She set them down on the floor next to the chair before gazing up at Luke. " I was breaking those things around the house when you were not looking for like three weeks straight," she said with a laugh.

Savannah let out a small squeal of laughter as she began to squirm from the kisses. Yet her eyes narrowed at his challenge, biting his lip and drawing a bit of blood. " Challenge accepted," she said, letting her tongue trail up his lip, licking the blood away swiftly. " You don't strike me as one who likes soft and sweet love Lord Takeshi. Not all the time at least," she said with a raised brow. "Am I correct?" she asked, her knee raising between his legs slightly and rubbing a she gazed up at him with a devilish grin.

Axel eyes widened as he felt his heart catch in his throat for a moment. He licked his lips and his eyes went to that emotionless state when there was an emergency. "Alright...Alright. Rebecca... I am going to carry you down the stairs. I need to you stay very still okay?" he said. Slowly, he knelt down and gritting his teeth his body shook as he picked her up into his arms. He was the Axel he used to be. Strong and calculating but there was emotion in his eyes now as he made his way down the stairs carefully but a lot faster than Rebecca could. "USU!!!KUROSAKI!!! THE BABY IS COMING WAKE UP AND GET IN THE CAR!" he yelled. Usui opened the door, bleary eyed for a moment but instantly alert as to what was going on. Kurosaki clutched Usui's pjs and rubbed his eyes with the other hand. Without another word, Usui hoisted Kurosaki up and ran to the door. He dropped the small child by the door as he quickly opened the front door as Axel got the keys to the car.

Anju crossed her legs, letting her dress hike up a bit to show off her legs. " Oh? Is this what you wanted to see my beautiful husband?" she asked. She bit her lip as he began to undress, the bare of his chest made her heart race a bit. She knew he could hear it too. She gave a soft laugh. " You know I'm still getting used to the fact that you can hear my heart beat race from across the room but I can't hear yours," she said with a soft smile. She crossed her legs slowly, rubbing her foot against her calf muscle as she watched Luke advance towards her, tracing his body and skin with her eyes. She took in a slow breath. "To finally be able to embrace you as your wife... for the first time... will be one of the greatest things I have experienced in my life I imagine."

Savannah pouted. " And here your the one supposed to have all the stamina..." she grumbled. But suddenly when he grabbed her chest she began to squirm. " Hey!" she said with laughter. "Alright alright! Truce!" she said, curling up into Takeshi and forcing him down on the beside her. " Your so needy," she said with a soft sigh, curling up a bit into him as she snuggled deeper into his chest, pulling the covers over them still as she watched the sun go down from her window. " The maids havnt checked in all day... they havnt really checked in on me ever since our stunt at the wedding."

Axel got her in the passenger side seat. He rubbed his hands together before starting the car. He glanced back at the boys. "Everyone buckled in?" he asked. "Yeah," Usui chimed in the back. Axel nodded and before anyone of them could scream he was hauling ass down the high away. He was well used to such speeds in driving away from crime and murder scenes and such but the boys and Rebecca had never seen this side of him. Well...Rebecca had already but no one else in the car. He reached out and took Rebecca's hand. " Just hold on sweetheart alright? We will be there soon. Just squeeze my hand if it hurts. Put all your pain into me. It will feel better soon I promise."

Anju laughed softly, running her hands slowly up his neck before their lips met. She felt the cold metal of his snake bits and only smiled at the familiarity of them. She was glad that he had left them in tonight. She ran a hand slowly down his chest as her lips began to part to his, slowly and tenderly French kissing him. Her heart began to beat a little faster as she ran her hands up and down his chest for a moment before her fingers hooked into his belt, heaving herself up bit them as they slid down a bit.

Savannah closed her eyes slowly at the touch of his lips. " I didn't mean to make you worry.... It was just... I didn't know if I could face you again with the shame I felt. Considering that I almost..." she stopped there, snuggling deeper into Takeshi. " I almost bit your neck like a savage animal in front of a crowed of a hundred or so people," she said, her eyes hardening. " I still don't know whats happening to me," she whispered as she slowly began to drift off to sleep. She would never admit it of course but she was a bit worn out from their endeavor. And she was too worried and stressed out to stay awake.

Axel's eyes remained firmly on the road. " I am not going to kills us Becca, you know that. I havn't sacrificed everything for our family and you just to kill you tonight in a car accident," he said. When another wave of pain swept over her, his muscles stiffened as she began to cry out. He winced as her grip on his hand was very tight but he said nothing, simply rubbing his thumb across the back of her hand in slow smooth circles. "We'll be alright," he said in that soothing sweet honey voice.

Anju gazed up at him as she slowly undid his belt, raising brow." Oh? So you think the rest of me would be better seen at the moment?" she said with a small grin as she slowly turned around. " Help me unzip then?" she asked with a smile on her face as she looked over her shoulder at him. She waggled her hips a bit, teasing him. "Come on lover boy husband. I don't have all day. Your wife is getting impatient in having her husband for the first time."

Savannah nodded, as she slowly began to drift to sleep. " I wish you wouldn't have patrolled all day and night. You should have forced your way in sooner," she said with a soft laugh, snuggling deeper into his chest. " I know I shouldn't care what people think but being surrounded by nothing but gossip your entire life. One gets quite tired of the affairs of it rather quickly," she muttered into his chest, her eyes closed. " If your tired you should rest now. I feel myself already beginning to drift off a bit. "

Axel continued to rub her hand. Without even breaking his gaze at the road he said," I was the one that delivered Kurosaki..." He turned a bit sharply but made sure that Rebecca would not bump against the side of the car too much. " We didn't have enough money at the time to afford a hospital visit and at the time I was very experienced with all sorts of sedative drugs and medical equipment that was used for torture more than actual anything else. Anyway I sterilized all of it just in case Anju needed a c section. And Kurosaki was brought into the world that night, right on my living floor in that old dingy apartment," he saidm squeezing her hand. "So please don't panic. I brought everything with me too just in case its an emergency. But your going to be fine. Because there is no way I am loosing you or the baby to this."

Anju smiled. "That isn't what I meant. The first time that I get to embrace you as your wife," she said, turning around to face him as she slowly stood before him, hugging him softly, her hands sliding up his back as her head rested on his chest. She let out a soft sigh as she closed her eyes for a moment. " For a while it seemed like the moment would never come but now its finally here... And its...better than I ever could have imagined it being." She slowly slid her hand down his chest, resting against his heart as she nestled her ear to his chest. She smiled as she listened to the steady beat of his heart.

Savannah did not say anything for a moment before she kissed his neck. " Stop. Don't pardon yourself. I wont defend the bastard anymore than I have to in reagards to sparing his life. I hate him too you know," she said with a slightly sad smile as she snuggled up into the covers, bringing them about over her chin and up to her nose as she slowly began to drift to sleep. " I know its hard on you but... Thank you. I love you Takeshi."

Axel gazed deep into her eyes, hand on the wheel as she shook his head slowly. " Never again Becca...Never again," he whispered kissing her lips swifrly before staring back at the road. When they finally reached the hosptital Kusoaki and Usui ran in first before Axel followed, carrying Rebecca in his arms. The nurses got her in a wheel chair and wheeled her off wtih Axel hot on their heels and Kurosaki and Usui following like little ducklings. They waited outside the hall while Axel and Rebecca went into the operating room.

Anju let out a small squeak as he hoisted her up in the air, laughing as he twirled her around. " Yes Luke," she whispered wtih a soft smile." I remeber the boy with dark eyes and a lost soul when I first met him with scars on his wrist and a heaviness in his heart. But that boy has changed since then and without him, I don't think I would have this happy bright beautiful man who is my husband in front of me," she whispered, kissing his lips as they fell back on the bed with a soft laughter rising from her throat. She ran a hand down his side and pulled away just enough to a gaze into his eyes. "And the woman that is standing before you would not be here today if it wasnt for you," she said, leaning down and pressing her lips firmly to his in a warm envopling kiss.

Savannah was already asleep, unhearing of the words Takeshi had just spoken. (Skip?)
