Disclaimer: I don't own any characters of Hana- Kimi, but how I wish Sano, Nakatsu, and Nanba were all mine. All such pretty boys! 0 But yea this plot is mine, so please respect that!

Author's note: um yea this is a continuation of "As long as you're mine". Sorry that I didn't say that before… because at first "As long as you're mine" was suppose to be a one shot… but because I realized that I kind of just ended in an awkward way, I decided to continue it. We'll let's see where this would bring us. Thanks for the reviews. They really brighten up my day!

By the way, I am sorry if I confused you with the whole name thing, yea it was my error. Mizuki is her first name and Ashiya is her last name.

"A Dreaming Reality"

Ashiya tried to roll over to the side of the bed, but found it very difficult to turn against something that was hugging over her waist. So instead the young girl twisted the opposite way. She turned inward and felt a comfortable warmth radiating from something. Ashiya went closer and closer as though it was drawing her towards it. She curled into a ball and moved nearer to this delightful warmth and felt a soft matter instead of the hard bare wall. The embrace around her waist seemed to tighten as she snuggled nearer.

Ashiya let a gentle smile escape her face. Suddenly the smile disappeared and panic replaced it. The girl became extremely alarmed and popped open her eyes. She stared at the nothing for a long time as though dazed. Then she muttered to herself.

"This is all a dream, he is not here, I never fell off the bed, he never said 'As long as you're mine'. This is all simply in my head. I am going to wake up alone in my top bunk bed as though nothing ever happened…" Ashiya continued to ramble on. She reminiscence about her dream that seemed so real, then shook her head. Her hands covered her leaky eyes, as she wished so badly that this was not a dream.

Unexpectedly, Ashiya felt a hand wiping her tears away, then slowly traced the side of her face and touched the tip of her chin and tilted her face up. Ashiya trembled as she was now looking into Sano's brown eyes. The American girl could not believe that this was real. More tears began to gush from her eyes. Tears of joy and happiness fell and stained her face.

Sano hugged her once more, and Ashiya cried into him.

"Sa…no, "whispered Ashiya, "I thought it was all a dream."

"Not anymore Mizuki, I am really here for you." He hugged her even tighter then lovingly brushed aside her hair, and stared into her face. The relief expression that spread all over the girl in his arms, made him happy. He finally felt free too.

"I'm sorry Mizuki, for giving you all this pain. I knew who you were at the beginning, and I fell in love with you. But I didn't want to lose you. Even if I couldn't have you, I still wanted to keep you by my side, where I know you are safe. You are just that precious to me." Ashiya became very still as she listened to these words. Then she smiled.

"Oh Sano, I love you. I came across an ocean to see you. I only wanted you, but because of my masquerade, I couldn't be honest to you. I always had to lie. But still I was by your side, and that was what mattered, even if I couldn't have your love."

"You always had my love Mizuki."

Ashiya smiled and kissed Sano on the lips. She then blushed and snuggled into him.

"You're so cute "whispered Sano.

Ashiya blushed again then began to panic.

"Now what happens?" questioned Ashiya. A million of things plagued her mind.

"You worry too much, but I think you should wear that dress you wore when you met your brother to the dance next week". He winked and flicked the girl on the nose again. Causing Ashiya to smile and rub her nose. Then she let out a surprised "o".

"Hey you stalker," she smirked, "Was that why the next day you were all jealous!" She laughed her silly head off as Sano turned bright red. Then things became clear for Ashiya as she remember those many instances where she felt awkward with Sano. The time when he yelled at the his old friend Rika who was going to slap her, the time when he warned her against Makita, the time when he tried to warn her that Nakatsu was falling in love with her. Ashiya felt so dumb at the same time special.

"Thank you Izumi for watching over me"

"You don't have to, let's just be happy together okay."

"Yea this means I get to hug you more without feeling guilty" giggled Ashiya.

"You can do more than that, if you want to." replied the sly Sano. He picked up his angel then kissed her. "I'm all yours Mizuki!"

The End.
