Looking out the window while passing by streets, I saw dark clouds. 'Rain is coming soon.' I thought to myself.

The wind blew quite harshly against the clothes of the people walking in the sidewalk; some of them started to run, trying to seek shelter before the rain pours down. Suddenly, it was raining like cats and dogs.

I saw a bright light coming out from the clouds; it was followed by a loud and frightening thunder. I started to shake because of the scary weather. Not paying attention to his presence because of my preoccupiedness, my fiancé put his right hand on top of my hands saying, "It's going to be okay Hitomi. We're gonna make it to your house."

Feeling his warm touch, I immediately removed my hands from his. I saw his hand reaching for my own but he hesitated to, knowing that I was still mad at him.

After a few seconds, guilt was seizing my conscience because of what I've done to him; I then turned my head to the left and saw the regret and sadness in his eyes. I saw his masculine face, his jaws, his sharp nose, his eyes. 'Oh his eyes! Eyes like that of a demon. But inspite of his demon-like eyes, I still fell in love with him. Silly me!... Come to think of it, should I really be mad at him? Am I doing the right thing? Well, what can I say? HE started the fight so HE should also end it!,' thought Hitomi with pride.

Finally, I also saw his silver hair glistening and shining while we drove along the storm. Sometimes I wonder what it feels like to touch his hair; I always longed for that day to come.

Then a loud thunder came out again, breaking my gaze from his face. Again, noticing my fear, he parked the car on the right side of the road. Turning to me he said, "Tomi, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you hours ago inside the restaurant. I was just jealous of the man who's going to be your business partner starting on Monday. I can't imagine HIM staying close to you; talking to you; eating with you; laughing with you... I don't know why but I really don't like that guy. I didn't mean to ruin our dinner….. I'm sorry Hitomi."

Hiding my tears, I looked at him and said, "Dilandau you baka! How could you think of something like that?"

I could feel warm liquid pouring down in my face from my eyes; then I continued, "You know that you're the only man I love Dilandau. I thought you trusted me? How could our relationship work if you don't trust me like I-I-I tru-tru-st you!" Tears continued to come out. I couldn't stop crying. 'Darn it! Why can't I stop my tears from coming out? I hope I don't look miserable in front of Dilandau,' thought Hitomi.

Suddenly I felt strong arms encircling me into a comforting hug. His chin was resting on top of my head and my head was on his chest, sobbing as we fell silent for a moment. He tried to comfort me by rubbing his left hand up and down my back; blushing slightly as he did so.

"I'm really sorry Hitomi. I promise that I will try to avoid this kind of argument from starting again between the two of us," said Dilandau in a promising tone.

He broke the hug and faced me, wiping away my tears using his hands. Then unexpectedly, he hugged me again and kissed my forehead resting his lips there while I began to calm down and melt in his warm embrace. I can smell his mesmerizing scent and feel his hard chest just under his clothing. 'Dilandau…' I said to myself. I snuggled closer, aching more of him.

Then again for the third time, he broke the embrace, raised my chin and looked straight in my eyes saying, "Hitomi Kanzaki," while nearing his lips down on my own. I could feel the heat emitted by his breathe brushing my face. I could also hear my own heartbeat beating loudly in my ears. I closed my eyes and waited as his lips devoured mine. I felt as if my body was on fire. I was burning hot from the passion that my fiancé was giving me. He kissed me gently and softly; nibbling at my lower lips then he broke the kiss. I opened my eyes, looked at him, still longing for his lips; wanting for more.

Then he said, "I love you, Hitomi," which made me teary-eyed again. Within seconds, our lips met again exploring and tasting each others mouth hungrily yet gently.

After what seemed like eternity, they decided it was time for Hitomi to go home. Breaking the silence that settled inside the car, Dilandau asked, "You know something 'Tomi, you still hadn't told me your business partner's name."

Hitomi, who heard Dilandau say the word business partner with bitterness, sighed and said to herself, 'Ai Yay Yay! Here we go again.'

Then, Hitomi replied calmly, "Dilly, his name is Van. Van Slanzar de Fanel. He was my classmate and friend when I was still in elementary. There's no need to be jealous now. Nothing WILL happen between us... I promise," ending her reply by kissing Dilandau's cheek who was blushing because of the sudden kiss she gave him.

'So, the bastard's name is Van Slanzar de Fanel huh? If he ever touch My girl, he's gonna be a dead meat!' Dilandau thought, smirking.

Dilandua, who seem quite satisfied with the information he just got, went back to the road on the way to Hitomi's house. They held each others hands while he was driving under the rain.

'Rain?,' Hitomi thought. 'Thank goodness! The storm has calmed down. I suppose I have lost track of our surroundings back there. Naughty Hitomi!,' laughing silently to herself, she yawned and began to sleep...

Unfortunately, the rain started to become strong and soon it became a storm again; leaving the Dilandau worried about their trip.

Afterwards, Dilandau couldn't see where he was going, he started to panic and fear swelled up inside him saying, 'Holy Shit! I can't see where I'm going!,' he looked at Hitomi's sleeping form making him even more worried and anxious if they will ever make it to her house.

"Joe! Wake up we have a problem! Joe! Joe! Wake up man!" shouted Truce to the sleeping man next to him. When he saw that Joe didn't wake up yet, he smacked him hard in the head awaking Joe who was howling in pain.

"Owwwww! What did you do that for man? I was just sleeping, what's wrong with that?" whined Joe.

"What's wrong with that?! Can't you see? I'm having a problem here! I couldn't quite see where I'm driving. So please be so kind to wipe the windshield…NOW!" Truce said.

"Yeah, Yeah, whatever man," replied Joe who was quite mad for what Truce did. He then decided to teasingly and slowly wipe the windshield even though he knew the consequences that are in store for him if he makes Truce angry. 'Who care's anyway! This is the only way to get back for what he did! WAHAHA!' thought Joe.

"Joe do you want another smack?! Stop playing and just get on with it; you're blocking my view! We might die here now you know, luckily no one's here on the road but us."

'WOW! I didn't know that my plan is working,' Joe thought. With that he wiped the windshield slower than one can ever imagine.

SMACK!

"OWW! What was that for?" shouted Joe.

"Stop pretending! I know your stupid plan! You're going to get us killed you moron!" Truce shouted back. So, they argued and argued until Truce saw from the distance a red convertible coming towards them, leaving a small distance between the two vehicles as time ran. Joe, who also saw it, stopped and also stared at the car not knowing what to do.

"Get out of the view Joe! We're gonna die if you don't." Joe obeyed and put on a serious yet frightened face. Meanwhile, Truce stepped and stepped on the brake but to no avail because the road was too slippery. Because of that, Truce went suddenly blank, didn't know what to do. He just stared at the car coming closer and closer at the truck he was driving. The closer it was coming, the more his hope of living died. All he could do was stare at the car as if death came towards them.

Joe, seeing that they were nearing death, started to pray. He turned to Truce and saw that his eyes were blank; nothing but black, empty eyes. He looked at the nearing car, then at Truce; at the car then at Truce. Fear started to overcome him. Sweat also filled his forehead. Seeing that the car was nearing them, he began to shout at Truce, "TRUCE! What the hell are you doing?! Turn the wheel to your left! Turn it left now!"

Truce, who was brought back to reality thanks to Joe's loud and alarming voice, without hesitation honk the horn many times and turned the wheel to his left. But because of the slippery road they were in, the truck twirled and twirled violently until they came to a stop.

The road was slightly damaged but not that grave. Smoke caused by friction filled the area. Rain still continues to pour down...down to the ground.

He started to panic. 'Oh goodness! What will I do?!' thought Dilandau. He was too confused to think. His mind couldn't function properly. 'FOCUS damn it DILANDAU! You have to focus yourself,' he reminded himself. He deeply inhaled and exhaled three times knowing that it will help him calm down.

Then an idea flickered in his head. 'Rags? Why didn't I think of those in the first place. It will help me see where I'm going again,' telling himself.

He searched in the compartment and luckily found a dozen pieces of it. 'THANK GOODNESS,' Dilandau said to himself.

While wiping the windshield, he saw something coming towards them. He started staring at it not knowing what it was. 'What the hell is that? Is that a truck? I thought we were the only ones brave enough to drive in the middle of a storm?' asking himself.

When he was done wiping, he took his eyes off the road just for a while to return the rags in the compartment but while doing it, he heard a loud noise; he just can't figure out what it was exactly.

After returning the rag, he immediately turned the wheel to the left; shocked to see a truck inches away from his car. He hit on the brakes which wasn't that much of a big help because of the slippery road. He slightly saw the truck turn left then twirl violently a few inches from them. The car also swirled wildly ; awaking Hitomi from her sleep. Then the red convertible hit a tree found on the left side of the road, knocking both of them unconscious.

'Where am I? Am I still alive?' Joe thought to himself. He started to open his eyes slowly and think of the bad luck that happened just now. He turned to his left and saw Truce unconscious and blood all-over his forehead. His head was resting on the wheel.

"Fuck! Truce! Truce! Are you alright man?! Shit! What should I do?," Joe shouted as tears started to come out of his eyes. He immediately wiped them and inhaled and exhaled three times; somehow calming him.

Then an idea popped from his mind. "I have to bandage him before he loses a lot of his blood," said Joe. He ripped the lower part of his cotton shirt and used it to bandage Truce's bleeding head. He also touched his own face and head to inspect if he was also bleeding. Luckily, the bleeding wasn't that severe enough compared to Truce. So he decided to leave it be.

After bandaging Truce's head, he remembered the red convertible. He immediately carried Truce out of the truck fearing that it might explode any second. He laid him on the ground far enough from the truck.

"I'd be back Truce. I'll call for help," said Joe as he hurriedly went straight to the red convertible which was just a few feet away from him.

'Ouch! My head hurts. What happened?,' Hitomi tried to awake; but she wasn't able to fully do so. She decided to just open her eyes a little. She looked at her surroundings. She couldn't remember what happened and where she was.

Then she remembered Dilandau. 'Dilandau? 'Where is he?,' Hitomi thought. She tried to call out his name but no sound escaped her lips. She couldn't speak. 'M-My voice? Where's my voice? What's happening to me?,' Hitomi thought again, tears swelling in her eyes as she began to panic.

She turned to her left and saw Dilandau; his silver hair covering his eyes. His head was resting on the wheel and his face was full of blood. The sight made her cry more and panic. She tried to reach for him but she couldn't because she was stuck in her sit. She then heard someone coming; this made her a little happy. But before she could see who it was she had another headache, this time more painful than the first one. She touched her forehead and saw blood in her fingers. 'Oh no! I'm bleeding too!,' Hitomi said; fear instilling in her once more. Then as fate would allow it, she fell into the depths of unconsciousness; blood coming out of her head and a tear escaping her eye…
