HIGH
SEAS

Tsukushi collapsed on the bed, overcome by the day's events.
Just when she had resigned herself to thinking that Tsukasa was a total past
tense in her life, she'd somehow ended up on a five-month world cruise with
him! A cruise that was supposed to be his honeymoon! "Oh my God,"
she said, covering her face with her hands. She still couldn't believe all the
conspiring that had gone on to get her and Domyouji together. Shaking her head,
she remembered Shigeru jumping off the side of the ship, her huge and hugely
expensive wedding gown billowing out all around her, falling like a plucked
flower. I will never understand rich people, she thought, shaking her
head. It was miraculous, these chain of events. But she could hardly complain.

In the three months they'd been apart, she'd come to realize
with a certainty that she loved Tsukasa, but she'd resigned herself to the fact
that they could never be together, not as long as his mother was alive, anyway.
His mother, she sighed. She's probably having the ship turned around
right now. Tsukushi knew Tsukasa's mother wouldn't stand for this act of
rebellion, and whatever time she and Tsukasa had together would be short-lived.
But I want to make the most of it, she thought. Whatever time I have
with him, I still want it.

Tsukasa had been called to the captain's quarters, so he'd sent
her ahead to the honeymoon suite that he was originally supposed to share with
Shigeru. Tsukushi ran her hands over the bed, a massive, opulent affair that
could have easily slept five people, but was just for her and Domyouji alone.
Alone. They'd be sharing this bed tonight. Biting her lip, she blushed, knowing
that sometime during this cruise, it was bound to happen. The new Tsukushi,
the one who was more honest with herself, had to admit that a part of her was
looking forward to it, but another part of her was terribly anxious. This
is it, she thought, staring around at the expanse of luxury bedding all
around her. This is where I will... Where we will... She couldn't even
finish the thought in her head, let alone say it out loud. She just hoped Tsukasa
could be more smooth about it than she was. As if her thoughts had conjured
him, the door to the suite opened, and he came striding in.

Domiyouji, she thought, looking up at the imposing figure
standing over her. She couldn't believe that at one time he'd struck cold terror
and loathing into her heart. It was even more incredible that he'd come to love
her so much. She knew he'd gone through hell and back for her. At her wide-eyed
wordless stare, he frowned.

"What is it? Do I have something on my face?"

"Huh? Oh, no... Just spacing out, I guess. Sorry."

He sat down heavily on the bed next to her, starting to loosen
his bow tie. He was still resplendent in his white wedding finery, and Tsukushi
couldn't help but stare. He did look truly magnificent. She, on the other hand,
was still in her school uniform, badly smudged with grease from her impetuous
leap onto the ship.

"Ugh, I can't wait to get out of these damned clothes and
into the bath," said Tsukasa, continuing to undress. Off came his vest
and shirt, revealing the brawny expanse of his chest and arms. Those arms,
she thought. They've have saved and protected me so many times. When
his hands went to the waistband of his trousers, she blinked, and jumped off
the bed.

"Oh, yes, the bath! Great idea! I'll go get changed!"
As she started to rush off, she felt his iron grip on her arm. She looked back
at him, the anxiety naked in her eyes.

"Makino," he said, his face serious but his eyes gentle.
"Isn't it a little too late to be shy?"

She gulped, remembering the time he'd rescued her from the snowstorm.
Their near-naked bodies lying close together under the blanket. The heavenly
feel of his warmth. She couldn't control the fiery blush that traveled up from
her neck into her face.

"Come here," he said, pulling her in closer to him.
"Baka." He hugged her to him, resting his head in the crook
of her neck. "Don't you know that there's no need to run anymore? We have
all the time in the world." He then kissed her neck, making an electric
jolt go through her body.

"Domyouji," Tsukushi sighed, leaning into his kiss.
She closed her eyes. "I know that't not true, but...I'll take whatever
I can get." She looked into his eyes, which to her surprise were quite
merry. "Wha... What is it? How can you look so happy?"

At her bemused look, he burst out laughing. "You're not
going to believe what the captain told me."

"What?"

"Apparently my mother called from the dock right after
you got on the boat." The severe vision of Kaede Domyouji popped into Tsukushi's
head, making her shudder.

"That's not a surprise. So?" she prompted impatiently.

"She told the captain to 'take care of my son and his companion'--what
do you think about that?"

"No way!" Tsukushi felt her knees buckle from the
shock, collapsing against Tsukasa. "She actually said that? That means..."

"Welcome to the family, Makino," Tsukasa said, placing
a soft kiss on her surprised lips. Tsukushi blinked, wondering how things could
get even more weird and wonderful.

"I can't believe it," she whispered, laying her head
on his shoulder. "We won."

"Yeah, who would've thought that the old battleaxe would
give in? Well, I'm not about to look a gift horse in the mouth. This is it;
it means you're truly mine. Mine at last." His words made her immediately
think of the last time he'd said them, and tears came to her eyes. He'd waited
so long for me. The thought of all that they've been through to get to this
point overwhelmed her, and she couldn't hold back the tears that slid down her
face. At the sound of her sniffles, Tsukasa looked down, alarmed. "Why
are you crying? This is the happiest moment of our lives, don't you think? Please
don't cry." He kissed her on the crown of her head, which made her burst
out bawling. "Makino! What's gotten into you?"

"I-I'm sorry," she sniffled, trying to hold in her
tears. "I am happy! So very much, I guess I was just overwhelmed, that's
all. It's a lot of wrap my head around, you know?"

"I know, Makino." She felt his breath against her
hair. "It's hard for me to believe, either. I guess we've got to make it
up to Rui and Monkey-girl somehow."

"Oh, stop calling Shigeru that!" Tsukushi scolded
with a laugh. "We owe her a great debt, you know. We owe her...our love."
She felt Tsukasa stiffen against her, then pull back to look at her face.

"Our...love? Do you really mean it? Do you...love
me?" The anxious look in his eyes was so touching she could only nod. "Oh,
please say it; I've been waiting so long."

Taking a deep breath, Tsukushi said without a waver, "I
love you, Domyouji Tsukasa."

Tsukasa closed his eyes, as if to savor her words. "I never
thought I'd get to hear you say those words to me." HIs eyes snapped open.
"Well it's about damned time--do you know how demoralizing it is to keep
telling someone 'I love you' when all she does is loathe you?"

Tsukushi laughed, shaking her head. "You certainly took
more than your fair share of beating on that one. I'm sorry. I'll make it up
to you, I swear."

"Oh yeah?" His elegant eyebrow arched. "And just
how do you intend to do that?"

"Uh, well... What do you want?" Tsukushi felt her
cheeks get warm, but felt more emboldened than ever. It's time for me to
grow up.

"Do you want an honest answer?"

"Of course," she answered, swallowing.

"I want..." His hand traveled up her back, caressing
her spine. His other hand went to gently cup the side of her face, bringing
it closer to his own. With their lips nearly touching, he whispered, "I
want..." She could feel his soft breath on her lips, and she closed her
eyes in anticipation.

"I want some more of those cookies you baked me!"

"More what?" Tsukushi exclaimed, her eyes flying open.
"You want...cookies?"

"Yeah, remember the ones you baked me for my birthday?
The ones that looked like me? I want more of those."

"You're...kidding, right?"

"No, I'm serious. I want more of those cookies."

Tsukushi sucked in a breath, then blew it out slowly. "OK,
I can do that. Um, anything else?"

"There is one more teensy weensy thing," he said,
his expression innocent as a child's.

"Do tell."

"You can take a bath with me." Before Tsukushi could
respond, he brought his head up to hers, claiming her lips with a searing kiss.
