So this is another Yoshikine fic. I'm still working on Why Did You Do It but this story just came to my head and I had to write it down! Enjoy!

This story begins when Yoshimori is on the top of the building after Gen's death! And it won't talk that much about Gin so sorry! The story is about Tokine and Yoshimori! Tokine is also a little OOC but not that much! Sorry!

DISCLAIMER: I am positive I DO own Kekkaishi

Yoshimori: No you don't! Your just saying that!

Me: Am not! Now shut it or I'll make you seem like even more of an idiot than you already are in the story!

Tokine: She does not own Kekkaishi! She couldn't even if she wanted to. But this is her idea!

Me: L

Yoshimori + Tokine: REVIEWS ARE WELCOME AND WANTED!

"Yoshimori!" The shout came from behind him and he furiously dashed away his tears. She would not see him cry. "What do you want, Tokine? I don't feel like being lectured so just go away." He hoped his voice didn't crack. It did.

The air ruffled his cloak as she landed beside him, her violet eyes resting on his curled up form. "I've seen you cry before, dummy. This is nothing different." she retorted, but her dull eyes said what her mouth wouldn't. She was in as much pain as him. "Cry, if you want."

"No you'll tease me about it and I'll never hear the end of it!" he argued.

"No I won't! I would never tease about this!" she said sadly as she sat down beside him with a sigh. He stared down at her, eyes still wet with unshed tears. She sighed again and looked out at the view, disappointed. She was hoping she could cry with him.

"Why did Gen-kun have to die? We should've stopped him."

"It's my fault. I just stood there."

Tokine shook her head, "It's no one's fault." A tear slid down her cheek. A warm hand gently clasped her on the shoulder.

"Tokine..."

Something broke inside her and suddenly she was clutching Yoshimori with tears streaming down her face. "Why does it happen, Yoshimori? Why must people die for this stupid place?" she cried.

He didn't know what to do, so he gently wrapped his arms around her and rested his chin on her head.

Tokine cried so much it panged her chest, but the tears wouldn't stop. she cried not only for Gen-kun but also for her father who she hadn't shed one tear for.

Slowly though, her sobs stopped and she rested her head against his chest. "I'm scared." she whispered. He tightened his hold. "I'll protect you." Tokine shook her head and looked up at him, "I'm scared I might lose you too." His face showed his shock as he glanced down at her. "Tokine..."

She brought her knees from under her and straddled him.

"Tokine?" He murmured, worried something was wrong. She shushed him and leaned so their foreheads were touching. "Yoshimori," she whispered, "I need to know you'll stay with me. Promise me..." He couldn't breathe, let alone promise anything. "Please, Yoshi..." she breathed.

Yoshimori's mind was whirling with questions, the most important being, is this for real?

"Tokine, I..." He didn't know what to say. He couldn't promise her that he'd survive the next day!

She sighed, "I know, there's no way you can promise. Forgive me." She moved to pull away but he held her to him, breathing in her cherry blossom smell that was Tokine. "Tokine, I'll always be there for you. Please just remember that and that you can talk to me about anything. Just don't hide it from me!" She wiped the tears still present on her cheeks and looked down. "I'm sorry." She tried to hide her face but he held her face in his palms, forcing her to look at him. "Tokine," he growled, "don't hide your tears from me! You can't always be the strong one. Let me be the strong one for once!" Tokine gazed into his eyes and found she couldn't hold it in anymore and threw herself again at him, sobbing. He held her trying to wrap his head around the fact that he was holding Tokine.

He smoothed her hair away from her face, loving the feel of her against him.

Over time her sobs quieted and they rested peacefully in the silence together. Yoshimori shifted his position so Tokine could be more comfortable. She murmured her thanks and snuggled more into his chest.

Yoshimori was more happy than he could ever remember being; even when he baked his first cake. But they'd have to leave soon. It was getting light and they'd have to go to school soon.

As if reading his mind, Tokine said, "We have to go." But she didn't move.

"Yea." he agreed, his voice hoarse from not using it for so long. She nodded and pressed her face into his shirt for a moment before reluctently pulling away.

"Wait!" Yoshimori cried, grabbing her hand as she tried to walk away. She looked at down at him questioningly. "I-I..." He wanted to say those little words but didn't know how. "I'll always be here for you." Mentally he kicked himself. He was such a coward. Would there ever be a time that he'd tell her how he felt about her?

How'd you like it? Am I even getting better or am I just telling myselft that?
