This is a chilly short story as the weather slowly gets colder and colder. Snow has fallen yesterday and the ground is still white. So this is what the cold has brought to me and this is what I will bring to you. A little light Rabi x Kanda. Kanda Yuu's POV. I don't own anything.

Seeping Cold

XXX

It's cold. It was really cold. My teeth would chatter and my hairs would rise on ends every time the wind howled by. What the hell am I doing in such a cold place?

Ya, what exactly was I doing in such a cold place?

I don't know, blame Komui. When I get back I am going to kill him.

I am going to slaughter him in the bloodiest way possible. Hmm… maybe I can carve a hole in his stomach as I pull his intestines out. Or maybe… I can even give him a few dozen cuts or so, and then I put him in Jerry's freezer. Then pull him out a few hours later, as he defrost he can feel the gentle nips of the stinging cuts. After I can even shake some salt on those bleeding wounds.

I couldn't help as my lips curled into a sadistic smirk.

"You look scary, Yuu-chan." A familiar voice commented in a strange tune.

A flash of red appeared from my side view; a blur of red, black, and white appeared right next to me as he latched his arm on to mine's.

"What do you mean, Rabi?" I looked at him; he was just a little taller than me. Surprise at how a few years of puberty can drastically change our bodies.

"I am perfectly happy…" I couldn't help as my smirk widen. The red head visibly winced.

"Yuu-chan, who is going to die this time?" He raised an eyebrow in curiosity and suspicion.

"No one in particular." I replied lightly as an image of the spectacled scientists with a Yoshi coffee cup came to mind.

Rabi didn't answer; I don't think he would have an answer to it anyways. It was silent for awhile, just the way I like it, until a certain red head broke it again.

"Ahh… where are we?" He wondered out loud, I could see the air he puffed out was white.

"Tch." I couldn't help but say as I rubbed my arms up and down.

"Cold, Yuu-chan?" He asked with a tilt of his head.

He was a few steps ahead of me; he started to walk backwards as he had his arms crossed behind his head. His lips curled into a smile as his eye twinkled in amusement.

"Don't call me that." I roughly told him as I wrinkled my nose in annoyance.

He gave a small chuckle. "Same old, same old Yuu…"

Each breath he took came back out as white puffs of air.

I rolled my eyes at him.

His features were so familiar to when he was young. His crisp red hair that was always held up by the headband, his green eye that would always sparkle with amusement as he silently laugh at a joke that no one would ever know.

Rabi is a rather mysterious being.

I don't think I would ever get him, I don't think I could ever understand this Bookman apprentice.

His happy go lucky attitude, was it real? In my view, I don't really mind.

Just as long as he is by my side to keep the gloom out of life till the end of my time, then I will be content.

I sighed deeply; a long drag of white puff came from my parted lips.

It looked like as if that was my soul that was leaving my body.

"Yuuuuu…" His voice drew me back to reality.

"Hmm?" I answered absentmindedly as my view was no longer glazed and I could see everything clearly once more, I could see his green eye just a little too close to my own.

I made a quiet yelp as I visibly backed away.

He tossed his head back and laughs out loud. He said in a sing song voice. "Yuu-chan is caught off guard."

"Shut up…" I gave him a glare as I gently shoved him aside as I continued to stride through the snow.

"Why is it so fucking cold…" I mumbled under my breath.

"Bad Yuu-chan, don't cuss so much…" Rabi wiggled a gloved finger back and forth in front of my face.

I took a hold of his finger with my hand and brought it up to my mouth. I parted my lips as he stared wide eye at me. He thought I wouldn't do it, just to prove him wrong I closed my mouth and bit his finger, hard.

He yelped in surprise and pain as I let go.

"YUU!" He stared at me as if I was crazy.

Maybe the cold finally did seep into my head.

"What?" I asked him with a bored look on my face as I started to walk again, leaving the shocked red head behind.

A small smirk crept on to my face.

"Yuu-chan, that hurts!" He complained as he caught up with me and he held up his gloved hands at me.

I rolled my eyes at how fast this red head can catch up with me.

"You deserve it." I plainly said.

"For telling you to stop cussing so much?!" He asked me with a still surprised look on her face.

I nodded as I didn't want to open my mouth to talk again.

"But swearing is bad, Yuu-chan." He pointed out with a shake of his head.

"Whatever." I mumbled lightly, but I knew he heard it.

"Now, Yuu-chan." He started. "Do you know what you are supposed to do?"

"Am I supposed to?" I raise an eyebrow at what kind of ideas is this red head getting to.

He gave a fake gasp as his lips tilted to a full bloom smile.

"You have to kiss it of course! Any dummy would know that!"

I almost slipped and fell straight into the snow at that one.

I stopped as Rabi came up right in front of me and stuck out the finger I bit.

"No." I refuse as the idea went through my head properly this time.

"Why not?" He asked with a pout on his rosy red lips. His cheeks were red from the cold; it seemed too much like a blush.

But this is Rabi we are talking about; he doesn't get embarrassed over things like this.

"Yuuuu…" His lips were pouted and his eye was glassy.

"Kiss it. Kiss it. Kiss it all better." He said.

"Tch." I couldn't help but say, this certain habit of mine's just won't change.

"Yuu-chan…" He began.

"Will you leave me alone if I kissed your finger?" I grumbled, he was getting on the last nerve that the cold hasn't gotten to yet.

He nodded like an eager child on Christmas.

I gave a heavy sigh; a long drag of white air came out again.

I slowly leaned down and planted my lips onto his finger. It was a light kiss on his pale finger tip.

I pulled back soon enough.

"Happy now?" I asked the red head as his lips curled into a bright smile.

"Yuu, my finger feels a lot better…" He said in a sing song tone.

"Let's go now." I said roughly as I took his arm and gently dragged him forward.

"We wasted enough time." I dryly commented.

All I could hear was a low chuckle coming from behind me.

We walked for quite a few minutes before he started to speak again.

"Yuu-chan," He began with my name, as always.

I didn't bother responding, knowing full well he would continue to speak his mind. It has been like this the last 10 years and I am sure it will continue to be like this.

"Are you cold?" He asked after a moment of silence.

"No." I shortly replied him.

The health of my body is not necessary to be of anyone else's burden. If I am cold then I should be the one that would feel the blistering cold, no need to bring in someone else to go through the same thing.

"You're lying." I didn't even have to look at him to know that he was pouting as he said it.

"I am fin—" I was interrupted as a piece of long white fabric was draped on to my neck.

"You are cold." He insisted. His hair poked out from behind me. He stepped forward and with my hand still on his arm he latched his arm with mine's. Slowly adjusting his scarf, he wrapped it tightly against both of our necks.

I just stood there in place as I let him do whatever he wanted.

"Warmer now?" He asked me as he buried his head into the crook of my neck.

"Whatever." I started to walk, he kept in pace with me.

I could feel as his hand burrowed itself into my pocket as he laced his fingers with mine's.

Our bodies felt warm against one another.

Our foot steps were unison as we continued on our mission. Looking back there was only white snow that dragged on for miles while our footsteps acted as decorations that marked our existence.

This slow walk through this icy land was just a phase in our life that was rare enough to have just the two of us in it. My destiny was for sure going to be different than his. This was now just a time where our destinies were entwined. It was just a part in our life, nothing but just cold moments that will past as soon as it began.

Our lives are merely specks in this world.

No one would grief for us and we won't have anything to leave behind.

He was just another Bookman apprentice and I was just another exorcist.

Just like the cold, it will leave as soon as spring begins.

The end came out kind of sad but well this is what happens when you turn the heat on high and the water in your body slowly evaporates… I am drinking hot water like crazy but my hands and feet are still freezing cold.

Hope you all like it. The next chapter will be written in Rabi's POV. Review?
