I got kind of busy over the holidays and I didn't have time to write, I'd like to dedicate this one to Maria Maria! who seems to like my story so far :D Let me know what you think of this one ok? And everyone, Thank you!! I'm so glad that you guys like this, and thank you for taking the time to comment. You're all a great help and inspiration. See you soon, Belladonna :chu:

Agito helped his brother carry Ikki to their flat, admittedly he was doing most of the carrying. As they neared the door Agito looked across at his brother.
"I can't believe you fell for this piece of trash. What were you thinking?" He eyed Ikki's prone form with disgust. "I'm only carrying him to his bed, then I'm leaving alright? I have something I've got to do." Not one to admit it Agito was proud of his older brother (A/N I had too ) the courage he had displayed was amazing and Agito had decided that maybe it was his turn to suck it up.
"Hey Agiii," sang Akito softly, "Are you going to go and talk to Ume-chan?" Akito saw his brother's face flush and grinned to himself, his brother was finally going to tell!! He nearly started skipping, but then he remembered that he was carrying Ikki.. kind of.. He unlocked the door and span around slightly as Ikki's weight was completely removed from his shoulder, Agito having taken his weight completely. Swaying slightly Agito carried Ikki into his room and dropped him onto his bed, literally, dropped. Of course Ikki was so out of it he just mumbled and rubbed his nose a little, mumbling something about 'one more' then snoring. Agito smirked, then left the room, making a beeline for his brother. "Akito, don't do anything you don't want to ok? Be careful, and if he hurts you I'll come straight back and.." Agito's speech was muffled when, blushing, Akito laid his hand over his little brother's mouth. "I'll handle it, I swear, now go. Good luck Agi." Akito murmured softly, but more seriously than he had been before. Agito thanked his brother and headed for the door.

Akito watched his brother leave then sighed. IT was going to take a lot of courage for Agito to do what he was about to do, hopefully it would end up for the best. He turned and giggled when he saw Ikki laid out on his bed. He was mumbling in his sleep... Akito noticed a few things then, and nearly went into a dead faint. One, Ikki was moaning Akito's name in his sleep and two, he was pitching quite the tent..

"Oh god.." Akito moved to pull the blankets up over Ikki and kissed him softly before retreating. (A/n: Sorry you guys!! Not yet!)

Agito made his way to the Noyamano's, he thought a little about what he was doing and gulped.

"Hey Agito.. Something is different about you.." He nearly jumped out of his skin! Se was here, with him. Help!! Right. Answer the question.

"Uh.. yeah, Akito and me, we have separate bodies now.. Uh.. He finally mastered the Butterfly Road." He watched her, and nearly tripped, he quickly concentrated on his skating. He really didn't want to klutz up in front of her.

"I see." She said softly. "So what are you doing anyway?" His eyes widened and he tried not to spill his guts to her in that moment.

"I came to see you guys. I think that stupid crow and my brother finally started paying attention." He said trying not to roll his eyes..

"Ohhh, you'll need a bed then won't you? Hmm.. Will the couch be ok? We kind of.. took over Ikki's old room." He looked across at her and smiled briefly.

"Thanks Shira Ume-neechan." As he turned back to his skating he heard her squeak and suddenly she fell, he dived after her, skating as well as he possibly could. He had to save her! His hand locked around her wrist and he pulled her up, into his chest and he held her close as he pulled to a stop. "Ume.. Ume-chan!! Are you ok??" He looked down at her, trying to make sure that she was ok without letting go of her. He brushed her hair back gently, out of her face and was surprised to see her blushing and looking up at him. "Oh thank god." He breathed, then it was his turn to squeak in surprise when her lips pressed against his.

"I like you Agito-san.. Umm" She looked up at him, flushing brightly.

"Agito is fine." He said with a shaky smile and he kissed her back. Suddenly he felt his head pulled back and opened his eyes to see Rika glaring down at him. "Um.. Hi?"

Akito went back into Ikki's room a little later, Ikki had begun thrashing in the sheets and appeared to be having a nightmare. Akito tried to calm him and was surprised when he was suddenly pulled into the bed. Ikki snuggled into Akito hair and sighed.

"There you are.. I was so worried.. I love you too Akito-kun." Akito froze in Ikki's arms. Had he just said that? Truly? Akito took a deep breath, working up some courage, and rolled over so that he was facing Ikki. He looked into his love's face and kissed him softly, as Ikki's eyes fluttered open Akito tried to pull away, only to be held in place by a firm hand on the back of his head.

"Mine." Ikki murmured, holding him close. It would seem that it was at this point that Ikki came to his senses. He sat bolt upright, flushing. "Akito I'm sorry.. I.. " Ikki's eyes widened when he saw exactly what was beside him. Akito was laying on his back, flushed and breathing rapidly and his shirt was sneaking up his stomach. Ikki licked his lips and was a little surprised when Akito pulled him back down to the bed.

"Stay with me, just for a moment? I have to talk to you." Ikki inspected the other boy, and settle back down on the bed, pulling Akito close.

"No." Akito's eyes started to tear up and Ikki laughed softly, confusing the other boy further. "I don't want to talk." Ikki pressed his lips against Akito's and slipped his hand onto Akito stomach. Akito's eyes widened, then softened. He wrapped his arms around Ikki and kissed him back, pressing himself up against the other boy. However Ikki pressed him back down to the bed.

"Not tonight Akito, not yet." Ikki murmured softly and kept kissing his love."I want us to take things slowly ok? I don't want to rush you." Akito blushed and turned his head to the side, embarrassed.

Ringo stared as Rika, Sora, Agito and Ume came into the house together. She'd missed something, she was sure. She'd been stuck in the house all day sick, and something big had happened, she could feel it. She watched them and realized that Agito wasn't wearing an eye-patch like usual. As she opened her mouth to speak she was cut off by Rika.

"So boy, you better start with some explanations." She was a little angry, but it seemed more like she was trying not to laugh than anything. Agito blushed and Ringo got more confused than ever.

"Um.. Well.. Me and Akito.. Or rather Akito.. He.. The butterfly road was ridden for the first time tonight." Ringo gasped as did Rika, they had both believed that that road was a myth. Although, if anyone could manage to find it it would have to be someone with two personalities. It made sense in a way. "My brother is with that stupid crow at the moment, and I was on my way here.." He blushed again, and so did Shira-ume. What on earth had happened?

"That doesn't explain why you were kissing my little sister." Ringo blinked once, twice, did she hear that correctly?

"I.. I like Ume. And she likes me.. I think.. And well.. You've got bad timing!" Ringo saw Agito's sheepish-ness dissolving, being replaced by anger, Ume saw this too and took his hand. To Ringo's surprise Agito seemed to deflate at the contact and he sighed. Ume leaned against him and glared at Rika.

"He's mine, and I refuse to give him up." Rika appeared dumbstruck. Ume rarely got angry, especially where her sisters were concerned. Ume reached up and kissed Agito, right there. Rika sighed and stood.

"I guess I have no say in the matter. Agito.." She waited until she was sure she had his full attention. "Break her heart and I'll break you." He looked up at her calmly.

"I don't believe it's her heart at risk. This is the first time I've ever felt this way. I'm not going to throw it all away." Rika nodded and walked down the hallway to her room, Sora followed her, a silent witness to the whole event.

An hour later, when both Agito and Ume were asleep, Agito on the couch. Ringo went down the passage to Rika's room and opened the door. Ringo stared at the scene in front of her and slid the door shut, before walking away, she went into the living room and sat down. Then, as her brain began to process what she had seen, she yelped and covered her eyes with her hands. It was no use, the image was seared into her eyes for the time being. Rika and Sora.. Rika was.. Well.. she was.. giving him.. head.. Ringo sat in silence and tried to forget. A couple of hours later, when Mikan returned she looked at Ringo and heard the sounds coming from Rika's room and sighed. Rika really needed to get a lock on that door.

Ok.. the truth is.. I had most of this written ages ago.. but I got stuck... Sorry again. Hope you enjoyed this one all the same. Forgive me!
