Back together and safe and sound...

Who: Chris, Kanako and the dead
where: their room
when: i'd say......NOW!
<this is a JP by Smandy & Chris H>
Chris, clutching his GunBlade at his belt turned the corner turned the
corner and walked down the corridor that lead to the quarters belonging
to Kanako and himself. He opened to door to see Kanako cowering in a
corner, two minions of the dead advancing towards her. She looked past
them to him, "chris! help!!" she yelled, one of the dead turned around,
and came face to face with a blade.
The blade entered the zombie through a painful place, and left through
another, his entrails leaving a rather nasty mess on the carpet, the
second was caught by a rather painful kick from Kanako, and finished
off, by Chris, whom emptied an entire clip into the deadie.
Before the corpses of the corpses could hit the deck, Kanako's arms were
flung around chris, and he was forced against a wall. He could hear her
whimpering, and put his hand on her head, and let her stick to him for a
minute or two.
When Kanako let go of Chris, he walked over to the door and activated
the lock to stop any more deadies getting in there for the time being.
As he walked off, Kanako leant against the wall, still whimpering, and
began crying.
"what... were those?" she said through the tears.
"Minions of the dead" replied Chris, rushing towards her, and gently
stroking her face, "Come here" he said hugging her, "theres nothing to
worry about".
"nothing to worry about?!?" she said, "look at the mess they made!" she
said, pointing at the age old blood soaking through the carpet. "where
did they come from?" she asked.
"Mess can be dealt with lives cannot" said Chris, trying to keep a
straight face, yet failing dismally, tears uncontrollably rushing in
torrents down his cheeks, "I thought I'd lost you" he said, squeeing her
tightly.
Kanako held onto him for several minutes, not letting him even move.
Both of them crying. But just as quickly as they had started, a sharp
crash on the door stopped them, as Chris leapt towards the door, his
GunBlade at the ready.
As a second crash came through, the door opened, and a zombie shambled
in. A voice came through everyones head as the speakers crackled into
life with the voice of Jack behind it. "hahaha, keep me trapped in a
gun will you?!" it yelled. "Now i'm free, and will get my revenge!"
"what in the name of hell?" said Chris, his GunBlade swinging into the
chest of the oncoming zombie, knocking him on the floor.
damn, i didn't think he'd be able to do that." came Jacks real voice
through the nano's. "he was only a waste disposal techie!" he said.
"hold it! i've got a plan, but i'll need your help." Jack began. "we
need to get to Holly's main control console quickly!"
"WHAT THE HELL" Said Chris
just trust me, it's the only way i can think of to restore Holly!" Jack
replied
"Ok, just do it" Chris' voice came throuh the nano's.
Chris began to walk towards the door. "no! don't go!" Kanako began, "
stay with me..." she said, pulling him back.
"sorry Jack, you'll have to find someone else, i'm a bit busy here"
Chris said.
"Busy with what?" asked Jack, bemused.
"uhh, zombie trouble of my own... sorry" Chris replied.
"Ok, ciao for now" said Jack, cutting off his nano link to Chris for the
meanwhile.
Chris then turned his attention back to Kanako, who was shaking a bit.
He looked at her, put a guiding hand on her shuoulder, and guided her to
the sofa, where she sat on his lap with an arm around him.
"I said lots of things on the planet, which bit of what I said would you
be thinking of?" he replied, maintaining a firm grip around her waist.
"the bit about maybe not coming back" she answered. "you can say the
other bit as much as you like" she said, smiling a bit.
"At the time it seemed likely I wasnt going to come back" he said, a few
more tears trickling out of his eye. "Kanako, my heart would be a cold
and heartless shell without you there, as it was before" he squeezed her
even tighter, "I dunno what i'd do without you"
She smiled even more, and blushed slightly. "your heart was never cold"
she said, hugging him, and kissing his cheek.
"Whatever you say" he smiled, 'Kanako...erm...What do you want for
Christmas?" said Chris, knowing exactly what he was going to give her,
but asking anyway.
"for christmas?" she asked, thinking. "Just having you with me is
enough" she said, hugging him even tighter
"Sure I cant persuade you to take something? When it comes to me, you
can have everything, and anything, you want" he said, carefully eyeing
his chest of drawers.
"sure" she said softly
"What could I interest you in?" said Chris, twiddling her hair, yet
keeping himself constantly transfixed on her eyes.
nothing. I'm already happier than i have been in my life" she said,
staring back into Chris' eyes
"You like diamonds?" Chris inquired, his stare not relenting. She
blushed as red as a tomato.
"who doesn't?" she said, cocking her head to one side, but still staring
into Chris' eyes.
"Diamonds...In a ring?" he asked.
Hearing this, her smile disappeared, and a look that had "OMG" printed
over it appeared in its place. "a ring?" she asked.
"what kind of ring?" she asked.
"Just a ring" he said, but Kanako caught the glint in his eye.
Kanako blinked a couple of times, but continued to stare into his eyes.
She let herself fall to his chest, and curled up on his lap.
"what?" asked Chris with mock surprise in his voice.
"nothing, i just think you're cuddly" she said, closing her eyes, and
resting on him.
"why as soon as I say just a ring do you jump on me?" he asked.
"no reason..." she said, thoughts flowing through her mind. "do you not
like being cuddled?" she asked, smiling.
"Course I do" said Chris, returning the cuddle.
"well, thats ok then" she said, almost falling asleep on him.
Chris stroked her hair gently, as silence filled the room, he could hear her
breathing, as it echoed in the room
As she lay on him, she slowly drifted to sleep, and fell off onto the sofa,
still asleep. Chris swore he heard her say "i love you" while she slept.
"And the same to you" said Chris, smiling as she rolled over to face him,
looking very awake.
She smiled back at him, and wiggled her finger in the way that says "come
here"
Chris raised an eyebrow but moved closer anyway.
As he got closer, she grabbed his collar, and pulled him down, hugging him,
and forcing him up against the back of the sofa, smiling as she stared into
his eyes.
He smiled and stared back at her, her eyes glimmering in the faint light.
"i'm glad i got posted on the Blue Dwarf, otherwise, i might never have met
you." she said, staring into his eyes, "and i don't know if i would be able
to survive that"
"Neither could I" said Chris and Kissed her.
All of a sudden, a subvocalised message came to him, and Chris heard a voice
that he was barely familiar with, but knew who's it was....
"Dante....."
