For the Love of My Rose Hime

Fifty-sixth Rose: A Lonely Heart

By Nikkie23534

~Last Rose...

       Touga smile and gave his only grandchild a wink. "Don't fret, pumpkin. All you and I have done, was to remind your parents what they would be missing out on. On all the great times that are still to be had as a family, that is all, my precious!" He then waved his hand and said, "Now off you go. Last one at the table, helps Jaken with the dishes!" He laughed when Rin gasped and ran out the door. Smiling to himself, he went into his bathroom to freshen up. Walking past the large amour, he stopped and picked up the picture of his late wife. Smiling, he ran a finger over her lovely smiling face. Well, my dear. I do believe that those two are back on the right track! I just hope they stay that way!' He put the picture back, and went to get dressed.

~~~Now...

Early that same morning...

       While 2 hearts reunite. One heart sits alone in a dark bedroom, clouded in confusion. In Sadness.

       Mai sat alone in her room, clothed in a thick terry robe. Her eyes red and slightly swollen from crying. Gazing out the window at the changing skies, with the blanket from her bed wrapped around herself. She pulled it tighter. A shiver went through her, as she thought back the events of last night. 'It started out so good. Everything was going so well.' Looking over at her mussed bed, Mai pulls her legs up to her chest. Resting her chin on her bent knees. 'Why...Why did it end up this way?'

~~Flashback: Yesterday~~

       Mai rushed to the market, on her way home from work. She was so exited about her plans for tonight. 'Thank god, InuYasha let me leave a little earlier than everyone else! I should have time to go to the market, and make a really special dinner for him! Things are working out perfectly', she thought with a bright smile, picking out the things she needed. 'Moni's going to an all night movie marathon thingy with Ban. So, Heero and I will have the whole place to ourselves!' She paused as the thought ran through her mind. This will be the first time she and Heero will be alone. Well, sure...they've gone out several times. To dinner at fancy restaurants, and shows. But, they were always in private booths, or darkened balconies; away from others. Still...there were always people around them. But, not this time. This time they were going to be alone. No waiters, with their serving trays. No ushers, with their flashlights. No one, but Heero and her. Just the thought was enough to set Mai's heart racing. She hurried through the market, getting everything she needed, for her romantic evening.

       Rushing through the door, Mai laid her bags out on the kitchen table. Glancing at the clock, she sighed in relief, 'Good, it's only 4:30, I thought I'd be so late! That silly old lady at the butcher counter took forever!' She thought, pouting to herself. 'But, luckily for me, I still have plenty of time!' She smiled to herself, as she washed her hands. Grabbing the packaged fillet of beef. She made a spice mixture, and rubbed it all over the meat, then set it into the fridge. Next she cut and seasoned her baby new potatoes, and her fresh asparagus. Also setting them into the fridge. Smiling, she carefully took out the lemon chiffon cake out of the white box. Putting it into the frosted glass cakeholder. She felt a slight pang of guilt, for taking the ultra silky dessert from the cafe. When she told Moni about how she was making dinner for a special person, she had no idea that Moni would tell Yasha. She almost fell out, when just before she left, Yasha gave her the decadent dessert.

       Yasha walked up to Mai as she was putting on her jacket. "So, Moni tells me that you're dating a 'mystery man'? And, that your making him dinner tonight."

       Startled by InuYasha, Mai gave a nervous giggle. "Ha...Well, Yasha, um. He...He's not really a mystery. That is...ah. I...um...I do like him, and...um...ha!"

       InuYasha crossed her arms, as one slender brow in amusement at Mai's nervousness. "Relax, Mai," InuYasha reassured. "I'm not gonna give you the third degree about him, at least not yet!" She smiled teasingly, rolling her eyes. "When you're ready to introduce him to us, then you will. I just want to say, I know it's been crazy around here. And, we haven't had a lot of time to talk like we used too. I'm sorry about that. I just wanted you to know, I'm here anytime. You can still talk to me, about anything. Okay?" Yasha smiled, cupping her young friends cheek.

       Tears came to Mai's eyes, at Yasha's tender gesture. Reaching out, she grabbed InuYasha in a tight hug. "Thanks, Yash! I'm alright, really! He's really nice, and he treats me...like a princess! He's so different from any guy I've ever known! And, when the times right, you will meet him! I promise!" The two hugged for a minute more, before InuYasha broke it off.

       Brushing tears away, the girls laughed. "Okay, okay, enough of this! You don't wanna be late. You do have a dinner to make, right? I want you to be careful, and I wanna give you this." Yasha smiled, going to her work table. She picking up the white cakebox, and handed it to Mai. With a bright smile, she said, "Moni told me that you were making dinner for 'him' tonight. You can't have a special dinner for someone, without having a special dessert to go with it!" When Mai started to argue, Yasha held up her hand and told her to enjoy her night!

       Thinking back, Mai really felt guilty. She'd always been a truthful girl. She never hid anything, from anyone. Not her parents or her friends, especially from InuYasha. InuYasha was like the big sister, she always wished she had. She always told InuYasha everything. And, being the friend she was, InuYasha was always for her. Always a shoulder to cry on, a smile, a joke, or just some good advice when needed. 'I'm sorry Yasha, but you and everyone else is wrong about him. Heero isn't that man that he was long ago, at least not with me. He's a good man, I know he is!' Mai thought letting a small smile form on her face. "I'm sure I'll prove all of you wrong about him!"

7:30 PM...

       Ding... The timer on the stove chimed, signaling that the roast and potatoes were ready. Mai removed them, sitting them on the counter to rest. She'd just finished the asparagus when...Buzz-buzz. Mai jumped, her heart skipping a beat. "Just a minute", she called out, rushing to the door. Mai stopped in the hall, to check herself in the mirror. Noticing she still had her apron on, she quickly ripped it off. Looking around, she shoved it into the umbrella holder next to the door. Smoothing her hands over her pretty white spaghetti strapped dress. She took a deep breath to settle herself, a sweet smile gracing her features as she opened the door.

       There he stood, leaning against the doorframe. In his hands a small bouquet of red and white roses, and a bottle of red wine. The corner of his mouth rose to a sly half smile, as his deep dark eyes racked over her. "Well, hello, My angel", he purred sinfully. Sending shivers down her spine.

       Mai's face turned beet red, as her heart began to pound in her chest. Her eyes lowered bashfully, stepping back to allow him entrance. "Hello, Heero. Please won't you come in."

       "Thank you, my dear Mai." He said smoothly. Stepping inside, making sure to 'accidentally' brush against her. "I'm not late, am I?" He asked, knowing full well that he was right on time. "I had just had to stop off and get these for you." Handing her the flowers. "A pretty arrangement, for a pretty girl. I hope you like them."

       "Oh, no! You're right on time", she gushed, bringing them up to her face she took a deep sniff. "They're beautiful! Thank you so much, Heero. You shouldn't have!"

       Waving his hand, he smiled. His eyes giving her another once over. 'Almost,' he mused. 'Almost prefect. Just not quite.' Reaching out, he seized the white ribbon at the nape of her neck. He tugged on it, allowing her long black hair to cascade down her back. "There, that's better", he breathed. "You look amazing with your hair down like that." He grasped her hand, bringing it to his lips. "You look...Perfect!"

       Overcome by the 'spell' he had over her. "I'll put you in water, while they have a seat." She said quickly. Blushing wildly as the sound of his deep chuckle reached her. Letting her know that, he'd caught her mistake. 'Oh no! He'll think I'm a childish, stumbling fool! Calm down, girl! Get it together!' Clearing her throat, she corrected herself. "I...I mean, have a seat, while I put these in water." Just as she was about to leave, and drown herself. He grabbed her by the arm, pulling her close to him.

       "Don't be long, my lovely. I'm feeling quite...ravenous!" He looked at her, as he held her in his grasp. Large hands began to move up and down, relishing the softness of her flesh. His eyes admiring the milkiness of her skin tone. Silently wishing, it was another he was holding. 'Soon, very soon. I will be able to savor the main course. But for now, I'll settle for this appetizer, instead!' His bold dark eyes stared at her so intensely, as his mind flowed with the thoughts of the one he wanted. Suddenly, he realized the was Mai's eyes watching him. He heard the gasp from her lips, as his hands tightened on her. He had to regroup, and control himself. 'Not yet, I can't afford to scare her off. I still need her.' Relaxing his hold, Heero gave her a well practiced smile. "Ravenous...for that delicious meal I'm smelling, of course. If my nose doesn't deceive me, I would say that was roasted beef?"

       "Oh, yes! You said that you liked roasted sirloin," she realized she was rambling on when she heard him chuckle again. "Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry you must be famished!" She took him by the hand, ushering him into the kitchen/dining area of the tiny apartment. "Please, have a seat," she said, motion to one of the chair sat the table. Then turned to the cabinet. Pulling out a small vase inside, filling it with water for the roses. Mai placed them on the table, then went to get the roast off the counter. "I hope this came out alright. I know you said you liked your beef very rare," she said as she turned towards the table. Crying out in stock, as she came face to face with Heero! Who had crept up and was standing behind the girl! "Oh my goodness, You startled me!"

       Flashing a devilish grin, he replied, "I'm sorry, my dear. I thought, you would like a little help." He leaned close to her, so that his lips were barely touching her ear. The heat of his breath, caressing her skin making her shiver visibly. "I'm quite adept in the kitchen. As well as other places." He purred, letting his hands linger on hers, before taking the roast from her. Mai smiled in thanks, trying desperately to hid her nervousness from him. Taking a deep breath, she picked up the potatoes and the asparagus and followed him to the table. He pulled the chair out for her, then opened the bottle of wine he brought; pouring it into the glasses on the table. Sitting opposite from Mai, Heero raised his glass and smiled as she did the same. "Here's to a very lovely meal with a lovely lady." Mai grinned as they touched glasses, and she raised hers to her lips. "And, for I hope will be, a very luscious dessert."

       Mai paused, almost choking on her wine at the thinly veiled innuendo. Raising her eyes, she smiled when he winked and told her he was just joking. But, deep down, Mai had a feeling she was in way over her head...

~~End of Flashback~~

       For the third time in the last 2 hours, she sat in the floor of her shower. Her face turn upwards, allowing the spray of hot water to pelt down on her body. Washing away her tears. Why...Why did it end up this way?' Burying her face in her hands, she wondered once again what she should do. 'It was supposed to be like everyone said it would! It was supposed to be different...it was...It was supposed to be perfect!'
