Nezumi stood all alone while he kept his gaze on the sky. His mind was telling him to stay there and move on. It was telling him that his future didn't involve Shion, but his heart was saying the complete opposite. His heart was telling him to chase after Shion's father and accompany him back to No.6. It told him that he wanted and needed to see Shion. What's a life without the person who showed him what it meant to love?

Sighing and cursing the air-head for getting under his skin, Nezumi turned around and ran towards the direction where he'd come across Shion's father. It dawned on him that for the first time he wasn't running away to survive. He was running to the very place that wanted to destroy him years ago. It was all because of Shion.

As if luck was on his side Nezumi spotted Shion's father on the grey horse and ran towards him. "Hey!" he shouted. Shion's father looked back and signaled the horse to stop. A smile formed on his lips.

"So you're coming with me after all," he said.

"Yeah…"

"Well then, hop on. We have a long trip ahead of us!"

Nezumi noticed how much the man before him reminded him of Shion. It caused his heart to skip a beat. Shaking off the feeling, Nezumi quickly got on the horse and grabbed onto the man's arms from behind. The two began to set off towards No.6, eagerly and anxiously awaiting their destination.

"Shion, you should go to bed. I'll be fine cleaning on my own." Karan had just closed her bakery for the day. Business was going well for her. She had daily customers and she no longer had to struggle to make a living. It was a big relief, but what made her smile even more was Shion working hard to rebuild No.6 and of course baby Shionn.

Shion put down the rag he had cleaned a table with and looked over at his mom. "I'm not tired yet. You're the one who should get some rest mom. I'll clean up tonight." It was true; Shion didn't feel a tiny bit exhausted, even after the long day full of meetings and planning. It had been like that since he came back to No.6. Every night he wouldn't sleep much and on occasions not at all. There was no doubt that the reason behind his insomnia was due to a certain raven haired, silver eyed young man.

He missed Nezumi more then he thought he would. It felt like a part of him was missing. The part that made him smile and kept him from losing himself. But he knew that Nezumi wouldn't come back for him. It hurt Shion to know that Nezumi probably didn't feel the same way about him. Nezumi had teased Shion a lot when it came to being inexperienced with women and love. It was clear that the attractive young man was only interested in women. He didn't want to settle down and stay in a place he once detested just for Shion's sake.

"Shion?" Karan grew worried as she saw the sad look on Shion's face. He had been showing that face a lot. Karan knew it was because of Nezumi. Ever since he had left, Shion had been like a hollow shell. He went day by day doing what he was supposed to do as a member of the Recreational Committee, but he didn't have the same spark he once had when he was with Nezumi.

Shion shook his head and smiled. "Sorry, I kind of spaced out. Go to bed with Shionn. I'll be alright on my own."

"Okay, but get to bed soon yourself. It looks like you haven't been getting any sleep."

"I will," Shion reassured.

Karan smiled and walked over to grab baby Shionn from his baby seat. She gently picked him up and made her way up the stairs. Shion sighed out once she was out of sight. He hated himself for making his mom worry, but there was nothing he could do about his feelings.

"Nezumi…I need you so much right now," he whispered.

A week had gone by since Nezumi and Shion's father had headed towards No.6. They had finally reached their destination. The wall that separated No.6 from West Block was completely gone. People were freely coming and going as they pleased and there was hardly any indication on who was a No.6 citizen and who wasn't.

This had to be Shion's doing… Nezumi thought.

"Wow, it really has changed hasn't it?" Shion's father was just as amazed as Nezumi if not more. It had been years since he had stepped foot in No.6 and now it was a completely different place. Everywhere he looked people were smiling and talking to each other. There was no sign of corruption or control.

"So, are you planning to go see your wife and son now?" Nezumi asked with a slight hint of curiosity. He wondered how everything would turn out once they were in front of Shion. It was already late in the evening so they would have a higher chance of catching him at home if they decided to head straight there.

Shion's father nervously scratched his head. "I should do that shouldn't I…I'm just so scared."

"Then suck it up and hurry. There's someone I need to go see myself."

"Oh is there now? Is it the same person you mentioned before? The young man who's helping to rebuild No.6?"

"Yeah, that's him."

Just thinking about Shion made Nezumi's heart beat a little faster and he hated it. No one had ever made him feel the way Shion did and it annoyed him.

"Mommy! Can we go buy more pastries from Karan tomorrow?" A little girl yelled in happiness as she took a bite out of the piece of bread in her hand.

"Of course sweetie."

"Karan…No it couldn't be…" Shion's father said under his breath.

"What are you mumbling about old man?" Nezumi asked.

"No, it's nothing. Although that pastry did look good and I am hungry. Should we go buy something before we set off?"

"Sure," Nezumi replied.

The two began to make their way to Karan's bakery. When they were in front they got off the horse and walked over to the front door. Once they entered, the little bell at the top of the door rang.

"Welcome! How can I…!" Karan stopped talking as soon as she saw who had come into her bakery. It had been years since she had seen that face. She thought she was hallucinating but the sound of baby Shionn's laugh told her that she wasn't.

Shion's father had the same look on his face. He didn't expect his wife to be there. He looked over at baby Shionn who was looking back at him with a huge smile on his face. Did she find someone else and start a family? It was only fair that she did after everything he did to her in the past.

"Mom, do you want me to feed Shionn?"

Nezumi knew who that voice belonged to and started to tense up. The footsteps grew closer and closer until Shion made it all the way to the bottom of the stairs. His ruby eyes went wide in shock the moment he noticed who was standing feet away. The room was silent. No one dared to say another word while they tried to take in the situation.

Baby Shionn broke the silence with his cheerful laugh. Nezumi couldn't help but smirk. "So, Inukashi was reliable. What's his name?"

Shion wanted to respond, but his lips wouldn't move. He ran over towards Nezumi and embraced him as tight as he could. Tears were already making their way down Shion's face. "You're back…"

"And it's your fault."

"My fault?"

"No matter what I did or where I went, I couldn't stop thinking about a white haired air head named Shion."

To this Shion's father's eyes went wide. "Did you just say…his name is Shion?"

Shion leaned away from Nezumi and looked over at the man. Karan moved away from the counter and slowly approached them. "That's right. This is Shion…your son."

The two couldn't believe what Karan had just said. Shion and his father looked at each other in disbelief.

"But how…? He has white hair and ruby eyes!"

"There's an explanation to why he looks the way he does. But he is Shion," Karan replied. "Shion, this is your father, Hyosuke*."

Son and father looked at each other in disbelief. After so many years of not knowing of the other, they were finally face to face. Shion didn't know how to feel. He wasn't angry nor was he happy. There were a number of questions that he wanted to ask, but he was sure that his mother had a lot more to talk about with him.

"Shion, why don't you take Nezumi and Shionn to your room?"

"Sure…Follow me Nezumi."

Shion walked away from his father and went to grab Shionn. He started to walk up the stairs with Nezumi following closely behind. Nezumi glanced back at the two adults, wondering how things would turn out for the family in the end. He turned back towards Shion and continued up the stairs. Shion led Nezumi to his room and gestured Nezumi to go sit on the bed. Nezumi obliged and made his way over to the small bed. He noticed Tsukiyo lying on Shion's pillow. Hamlet and Cravat poked their heads out of Nezumi's scarf and quickly scurried down Nezumi's arm and towards their friend on the pillow.

"He's been getting really weak," Shion said as he looked at the three mice.

"It looks like it. At least he's been taken care of," Nezumi replied.

"How long are you going to stay this time…?"

The question caught Nezumi off guard. He looked over at Shion who was looking back at him with a sad expression. He didn't blame Shion for asking. He had left him twice so it wouldn't be a surprise if he did again. Nezumi sighed out and stood up. He walked over to Shion and baby Shionn. He gently placed his hand on Shion's cheek.

"I don't plan to leave. If you'll let me stay here then I'll stay. You came into my life and now I can't do anything to take you out."

"Nezumi…"

Nezumi smirked at the sight of Shion's blushing cheeks. He slowly leaned down and kissed Shion. It was a feeling he yearned for ever since the kiss they shared after No.6 had fallen. Shion was the flower that bloomed in a world of darkness. He was the flower that guided Nezumi's way through the thorn filled meadow and the pain it caused him. He separated their lips and looked down at the ruby eyes he loved so much.

"Call that kiss my kiss of return," he said.
