Conflicting Hearts

Chapter 11: Sakura Kiss

A/N: Major fluff in this chapter. It was unavoidable. So anyways, only a few more chapters and I've decided not write lemon in this story. No excuses for my lack of updating.

A/N: The funny thing is that this chapter has been finished for months lol. I've just been too lazy to actually sign on and upload it.

OoOoOoO

It's so clear to me now

You're always on my mind

Could it be that you're the one?

Maybe you're my love!

OoOoOoO

Kanaria snuggled into Axel's warm embrace and smiled. What a strange turn of events. One moment she wanted to leave and forget about everything and the next, she wanted to stay like this with Axel forever. She laid still listening to Axel's slow and steady breathing. He was still asleep. The had fallen asleep like that. In each others arms. He never let go. It was like Axel was afraid she'd disappear or something.

Axel groaned and mumbled some incoherent words. Kanaria giggled as she decided to tease Axel. "Sorry what was that?" she asked innocently. Axel's voice got louder and this time, Kanaria caught every word. "Blossom…you bring the chocolate…I'll bring the whip…"he mumbled. Kanaria's face turned stark red. "What the hell?!" she said raising her voice. She forgot that he was sleeping. Axel yawned. "What?"

Kanaria shook her head and tried sitting up again. "N-nothing" she said her face still beat red. He stared at her.

A smile slowly crept up his face "Were you having perverted dreams about me?" the red head asked.

"Were you?" she challenged.

"Actually, yeah. I was" he admited. Kanaria sat up and ignored the pain in her back. Now for the hard part. Getting to her cloak. Axel raised his eyebrows. "Where do you think you're going?" he said standing immediately.

"Axel. I stink. I'm getting my cloak so I can leave and take a bath!" she answered through gritted teeth. The pain was really killing her.

Axel looked thoughtful for a moment. "Yeah, you do stink." He looked up and saw the way Kanaria was glaring at him. She looked ready to kill. "Kidding, kidding" he said awkwardly. He turned around and headed to his dresser. He pulled open a drawer and tossed a towel to Kanaria. She gave him a confused look.

"You can use my bathroom. I really doubt you can make it to your room"

Her gaze softened considerably. "Thanks" she said smiling.

"You know, I'd be happy to help if you need…assistance" he said smirking. Kanaria scowled and made her way to Axel's bathroom. His smirk grew wider as she slammed the door shut. Well, thing are back to the way they were supposed to be.

Kanaria examined Axel's bathroom with curious eyes. She had never been in here before. The bathroom was really simple with a touch of his personality. She looked at herself in the mirror and gasped. She looked terrible! Her hair was wild, there was dried blood everywhere, and there was a really big bruise covering her right eye. Kanaria gingerly took off the bandages to see the damage done to her back. Her jaw dropped. "We have serious work to do" she told herself.

Kanaria stepped out of the bathroom with nothing but a towel covering all of her important parts. Axel's jaw dropped as he stared at her shamelessly. She was gorgeous!

She gave comrade a smirk. "Keep it in your pants."

Axel turned a bright shade of red and handed her the cloths he retrieved from her room. "I picked these up while you were taking a bath."

Kanaria took the cloths. "Thanks." She looked at the red head expectantly. "What?" he asked confused.

"I need to change."

"I know."

"Leave."

Axel smirked. "Why? It's not like I haven't already seen you naked before." His smirk grew large as Kanaria blushed. She looked like she had just been violated.

"When?!"

"Those bandages didn't just appear on your body, you know" he said geturing to the dirty bandages on the bathroom floor. Kanaria glared playfully at Axel. "Grr….fine. Just get out!" she said pushing him outside.

"Wait." Axel pushed his way back in and placed a gentle kiss on the rose wielder's lips. She blushed slightly as she was still not used to the idea that Axel actually was in love with her. Well as in love as a Nobody could be anyways. Axel smirked at her blush and stepped out of the room. "I'll be back with food."

After getting dressed, Kanaria sat on Axel's bed and waited patiently for him to come back. She faintly heard knocking at the window, but convinced herself it was her imagination. She didn't know the exact height of the castle, but she knew that no one would be stupid enough to climb up all the way to the top.

Apparently, she was wrong. She opened the window only to find Xemnas hovering outside the window on a strange vehicle. Kanaria paled considerably and felt her heart stop. Why was Xemnas here? Why now? Kanaria had completely forgotten how to breathe and Xemnas started looking concerned.

Wait.

Xemnas?

Concerned?

Nah.

"Riku?" she said tentatively.

He responded with a nod and held out his hand. "We don't have much time" he said.

"I'm back!" Axel said in a singsong voice. He entered the room only to find it empty.

His eyes narrowed suspiciously. He carefully set the tray of food down on the nearby table and knocked on the bathroom door. "Blossom?" There was no answer and he was getting worried again. With her wounds, she couldn't have walked very far so if she left the room, he would have run into her. His eyes fell on a small piece of paper and he let out a sigh of relief.

He hastily unfolded the paper and his eyes quickly scanned the brief words.

His eyes darkened and the small piece of paper burst into flames.

"That idiot" he growled dangerously.

I'm sorry.

I can't keep my promise.

Please don't come after me.

xxxKanaria

Those words…broke his heart, figuratively speaking.

OoOoOoO

I need you here with me

So I can give you my best

Sakura Kiss!

And if your heart will drum

Then it's meant to be!

OoOoOoO
