A/N: *SPOILERS* Welcome to my first chapter! :3 Enjoy!

By the way, this takes place during Missing Kings, when they are rescuing poor little Anna. ;-;

Kuroh P.O.V.

Yukari slashes at me ruthlessly in the air. I can't block any of his attacks. I finally hit the ground, I am on my knees now, using my sword to support me. I grit my teeth and charge at him. I blocks me effortlessly. He smiles. "Just as pathetic as ever, Kuroh."

I make another slash, yet he blocked it again, as if this was an everyday occurrence. He sighs. He then makes an attack this time, he slashes, I feebly block. He makes another, this time I feel a tingly sensation across my eyes. Then burning. I put a hand to my eyes. I hear laughter.

"Hmph, looks like your on the losing end Kuroh."

Neko P.O.V.

I watch from down below, eyes wide. I can barely see what is going on up there, I saw that they were exchanging slashes. Then I heard Kuroh.

"Agh!" He seems to be losing...

I gasp when I see Kuroh covering his eyes, blood slipping in between his fingers. He falls to his knees. Yukari says something, smiling. I can't hear what he had said. Anna is next to me, her eyes narrowed.

A green parrot lands on Yukari's shoulder. "That is enough now." The parrot straightens his wings. "We are not after the Red King. That means we are no longer after the girl now."

The Sparkly Man sighs and sheathes his sword. "I will not be satisfied without a head, but I'll live." He looks at Kuroh. "We'll meet again, Kuro-Chan." With that, they start to walk away. "Oh, and we have a present for you all!" The Sparkly man laughs and leaves.

I run to Kuroh and put my hands on his shoulders. "Kurosuke!" I suddenly hear I huge BOOM. I screech and look up, Anna is blocking the beam of light coming towards us. Kuroh tenses at the sound.

"This time, I'll protect!" She says in a determined voice.

I wrap my arms around Kuroh, who seems barely conscious. He still covers his eyes, looking pained. I frown. Anna looks like she's losing strength, the sheild fades away, but then I see a blue one. The blast is now gone, and Munakata collapses his shield. Anna glances at us.

"How is he?" She asks.

I blink a few times. "I dunno, he looks like he is in pain."

"I'm fine." Kuroh says weakly.

"Kurosuke, no you are not! Why are you covering your eyes?" I am confused why he's doing that.

"Yukari got my eyes." He gives a shaky breath.

I tighten my lips. Will he be okay? Sure, I like Shiro and fish better, but he's still my friend...

Munakata walks towards us. "We can tend to your wounds now."

I then notice that my arm is bleeding. I nod, glancing at Kuroh. His hand isn't covering his eyes now, I think he's unconscious. Munakata picks up Kuroh, his arm around his shoulder, another under his knees. We all start to walk out of the building.

Kuroh P.O.V.

I vaguely feel myself being picked up. I feel heavy and tired. I hear muffled voices around me. I can't make out the words. There is a sharp pain stinging my eyes. I feel myself being put down now, then nothing.

~.~.~

I hear snoring. I run my hand across what's under me, it feels like a blanket. I hear a beep, a steady rhythm. The air smells of sterile alcohol. I must be in a hospital. I feel my eyes, they are wrapped in a bandage it seems. I sit up, I then regret it. lay back down, wincing.

I hear a yawn. "Nee, Kurosuke, your awake!" Neko's voice sounds from across the room.

"Ah, Neko." I say quietly.

I hear her walking towards me, then the legs of a chair scrapping against the floor as it gets pulled out. "Your a sleepyhead! You were sleeping for two days straight!" She chuckles.

I am surprised at this. Two days? "Hm."

I hear the chair squeak as Neko shifts. I feel myself being pulled into a hug, and I hear sobs. "I thought that the Sparkly Man was going to kill you!"

I pet Neko's head. "Well, no need to worry. I'm alive, aren't I?"
