Rikka's POV
I couldn't believe that Ira was holding me by his chest, but somehow I wasn't afraid...
He noticed that he held me for too long so he quickly let go and backed away.
"S-Sorry..." he apologized.
"No no it's o-ok.. heh heh" I said, embarrassed and blushing very hard.
We continued to stare at each other for the next five minutes until Raquel caught up with me.
"Rikka!! Are you ok? ~Quel" he asked not noticing the fact that Ira was there.
"I'm fine don't worry... well I wouldn't be if Ira weren't here" I said.
"Ira? Whaddya mean Ira-
"I'm right here, squirrel!" Ira interrupted.
Raquel turned to see Ira with an even more shocked expression than I had.
"WHAAAAAAATTT??!!!! WHEN DID YOU GET HERE? ALSO, IM NOT A SQUIRREL!!!!!!!!"
"Your a squirrel in my eyes!" said Ira with a smirk.
"EXCUSE ME!!!! IM MUCH CUTER THAN YOU!!!!"
"Yeah right..." said Ira.
"DO YOU WANNA DIE??!!!"
"Well no... I would rather be killed by someone more dignified than a squirrel"
"I GUESS THATS A YES THEN!! ~Quel"
Raquel was about to flung himself on Ira, but I stopped him halfway.
"S-Sorry... heh heh" I said, blushing.
"It's alright..." he said, also blushing
Ira's POV
I wasn't sure why Cure Diamond wasn't attacking me... could it be that she actually had feelings for me?...like in my dream...?
"U-Um... Cure Diam- er Rikka, is it?"
"Yeah... what's up?" She said with her usual grin.
Whenever she wears that smile... I can't help but feel so stupid.
"U-um.. well... uh.. how do I put it.. uhh.." I said, feeling so embarrassed.
"Is something wrong...?" She asked.
"Well... uh I was just wondering... uhhhh... why aren't you attacking me...?" I asked, feeling even more stupid.
"Good question... well, why aren't you attacking me..?" She asked with that same grin.
Dammit!! She really is the "light of wisdom"
"Uh..."
"Heh heh.. I'm just kidding! Well I'm not attacking you because there is no reason to attack you. Also I thought the battle was all over" she said.
"O-Oh.. ok then.." I replied.
Now I've done it... she probably thinks that I'm a loser now...
Wait! What the hell am I thinking...? She's my enemy! I can't be nice to her..!
"Hey Ira?" She asked breaking my train of thought.
"Y-Yes..?"
"Do you remember that tree over there?" She asked pointing to the tree where she saved me from.
"U-Um y-yes.." I answered.
"Well.. whenever I'm troubled or frustrated, I like to come to the beach and sit under that tree" she explained.
"Because... it was then that I realized that not only did I help you with your memory but you also helped me!" She continued with a smile.
"H-Huh..? What? M-Me..?" I asked, feeling very confused.
"By helping you that day, you've also helped me realize what my dream is... and I felt really happy... so thank you" she said
"U-Um... your welcome I guess... and..um thanks for helping me.. since I never thanked you..." I replied.
That' feeling... it's back... but... it's not painful this time... it feels like the dark cloud over my heart... vanished!
I thought holding my chest.Rikka's POV
I noticed that Ira had something on his mind while he clenched his chest... could it be that he... liked me..?
No! He can't like me.. I mean he's evil.. right..?
I continued looking at him, thinking to himself.
Maybe... he isn't so bad after all..
I thought with a smile."What are you grinning about?" He asked me.
"Oh.. nothing.." I said smiling again.
We continued sitting by the ocean until it got really dark.
"Hey Ira?" I asked him.
"Yes?"
"Why don't you come home with me?"
Ira's POV
I can't believe she asked me those seven words!!!
Is she serious?! Me, going with her..!? This is a joke right..?
"Come on! It'll be fun! Trust me" she reassured me.
"U-Um o-o-k...." I replied.
I felt so happy for once in my life! I couldn't believe that I was happy with my mortal enemy, but we're not enemies anymore.. right?
"Hey.. Rikka? Are we still enemies..?" I asked, feeling stupid yet again.
"Depends how you feel" she replied.
"How I feel"? What do I feel..? I feel... I feel..
She was still smiling at me. Her smile was warm and it had a nostalgic feeling. At that moment, I knew my answer...
"Rikka... I.. I feel happy when I'm around you!! I can never stop thinking about you! I-I hold back everything.. just to be with you!!!
I-I-I love you Rikka!!!"At that moment she gave me a kiss and I accepted it...
Now I know from that moment on..
I can't leave her side...
