Well here's the next part ! Please enjoy and review!


Agito untied the rope that bound them, Chitose was so happy. He momentarily forgot with who he was with and hugging him tightly. Agito froze at the sudden contact, and from who this sudden contact it was from. He was very glad the others weren't there yet.

Though in truth, they were. Ikki, Buccha, Emily and Kazu were hiding, and doing their best not to laugh or giggle at this.

"Fuck, let go-"

"Thank you! Thank you so much Agito-kun!" cried Chitose not listening to him as he hugged him tightly.

The shark was ready to bite his nose off, when…something very…sudden happened.

The tiger chuckled and nuzzled his cheek against the shark's, Chitose licked his cheek and kissed his lips, for the faintest moments. But it was enough to startle Agito and send Chitose into a sushi and Agito high.

The black haired boy giggled as he pulled away, still hugging his sushi, with a blush on his cheeks. Agito looked away, his head was filled with Akito cheering and giggling like a girl.

At that moment, Ikki and the other's decided to show up.

"Damn! Chitose, you and Agito won, no fair!" cried Ikki as flicked off the two.

Buccha merely chuckled, while Emily and Kazu both smiled, they hadn't let go of each other's hands yet, huh. Agito glared at the crow, this was his fucking idea anyway!

"Haha, yup!" said Chitose holding his precious sushi, "Thanks Agito…" he mumbled.

He kissed Agito's cheek for a moment and pulled away with a large grin on his face. The blue haired boy blinked in confusion, he frowned and rolled his eyes.

"Fuck…whatever," he said as he turned away leaving a very happy Chitose.

The tiger smiled and licked his lips, he could still feel the kiss he gave the shark. He was surprised that he was still alive. Perhaps, a shark and a tiger can get along?




Akito couldn't stop laughing; Ikki's plan worked so well! Sure Agito was denying he enjoyed any minute of it, but Akito new better. The fact that Chitose plucked up the courage to kiss his other half, and was still alive and not in a hospital told him something. There's a chance.

He watched through Agito's vision, Chitose was munching on the sushi he had just won. And even tried to share it was Agito who, at first refused but after some persistence from both Ikki and Chitose he gave in and ate one.

Akito look smiled at how silly Ikki was being and how sweet he was to actually accept to helping him getting Agito and Chitose together. Hm…oh how he loved Ikki…

Chitose offered the last sushi to Emily who ate it happily. They had all made it back to where Yayoi and a tied up Onigiri were waiting.

"Oh! You're back, you won?" she asked them.

Chitose grinned childishly as he grabbed Agito's hand and waved it in the air, "We won! We won!"

Yayoi's smile fell slightly but congratulated them even so; Agito pulled his hand away from Chitose and cursed at him. Though the tiger only sighed but smiled, the moment was broken and he was back to where he started, but at the very least he made some progress.

Ikki smirked, sure Agito was annoyed but at least he is sort of accepting the tiger now. The crow caught up to the blue haired boy, trapping him in a headlock.

"What the fuck! Let me go you stupid crow!" yelled Agito he was very annoyed.

Ikki ignored his cursing, " So, someone had fun today, and got a little kiss too." He said in a singsong voice.

The shark bit down on Ikki's arm, the crow cried out in pain and let him go. Ikki merely smirked as Agito glared at him and made his way towards the others. So he was right, Agito did have fun and didn't mind that small kiss. Now his plan was still in motion, if he was right then tonight Agito would be heading back Chitose in his arms. Heh, oh he was such a schemer.

"C'mon guys! Let's head back to Kazu's place!" yelled Ikki.

Kazu rolled his eyes and muttered under his breath 'freeloader' but followed after his best friend. Emily, Buccha, Agito and Yayoi, on her bike, followed after him with Chitose trailing behind. The blacked haired boy was in pain, but he said nothing he didn't want anyone to notice. He wasn't weak and he was not some little girl that he needed to be watched over. He had too much pride for that.

But unfortunately someone did notice, and it was the last person he wanted to see him in such a sad state. Agito frowned as he watched Chitose fall behind, he knew the boy was fast so what was he fucking up to now? Trying to get the other's to fall for him? Well, the Fang King won't let him do as he pleases.

Chitose wanted to curl up into a little ball when he noticed Agito was right next him. When he saw the calculating look on his face he knew the shark thought he was up to something. And in truth, all this doubt and suspicion was starting to annoy him, there was only so much he could take.

Chitose stopped, "Agito, what is it?" he asked in a tied tone of voice.

Akito sighed and wanted to hit his head on something. Agito is more then likely going to mess up any progress that the two had made thanks to Ikki. Argh! He can't watch…ok may be he can but he knew he wasn't going to like it.

"What are you trying to pull?" asked Agito glaring at the boy.

"I'm not trying to pull anything, Agito I'm just tired…" he answered felling his legs shake slightly.

"Bullshit, that was a fucking easy task. How could you tired from something like that?" growled Agito, he wasn't stupid there was no way someone could get this tired from something like that.

Chitose groaned both in pain and annoyance, normally he wasn't this irritable but at the moment he wasn't in the mood of being interrogated. Least of all by the very person he loves.

"Look, I just…I messed up at a certain point and-"

"What the fuck are you talking about?" asked Agito not understanding what the tiger was going on about. " Fuck, what the hell are you plotting? First you show up out of the blue, join our team try to fucking hit on me. You come back from a fucking 'walk' with a bruised neck and say nothing about?"

Chitose growled, " Do you know the Sonia Road? Well, my Road has some similar qualities. When I…when I did that jump I didn't prepare my body before hand and it's backfiring ok?!" he said in an angry voice. He just felt so tired of this.

Agito was taken aback a little at Chitose's sudden angry, but glare nonetheless, so that's what was up with him? Why the fuck didn't he say so in the first place?

"So? That fucking answers only one question wha-"

Chitose snapped, "I'm not fucking plotting anything! Nothing at all! I left Genesis because I wanted to live! I joined you team because I…because I wanted to be near you! And for your fucking information I got this bruise because Nike came to take me back but I said no! I wanted to stay I wanted to be…to…be…"

He was crying, again. He was crying, he was yelling, he was telling the very person he didn't want to find out. He was spilling his heart out, why…just why won't…

Chitose looked at his with tears in his tired green eyes, "Why…won't you believe me…why won't you listen to me?"

Agito just stood there, his golden eye wide. Chitose was standing in front of him, crying again, yelling at him everything he wanted to know. So why did he, feel so bad?

Akito was annoyed with him, "Agito! Say you're sorry! You made him cry and wasted all the effort me and Ikki put on making that race."

"What the hell? You two tried to-"


"Yes, we were trying to get you guys to know each other better! Ikki agreed to help me and now…Agito just apologize."

"Why the fuck should I?"

"Because, he loves you. He stayed for you, he got choked because he want to stay. We trust him, even Lind doesn't mind him!" he sighed. May be he was asking for too much.

"Fuck…"

Agito sighed, ok so may be he was being an ass at the moment. He just didn't understand why everyone liked Chitose immediately. Ok may be not everyone, Onigiri was still warming up considering Chitose didn't understand any of his perverted innuendoes. Yayoi, well he knew what was up with Yayoi. Akito gets along with everyone and Ikki saw this as an opportunity to strengthen the team and gain a new friend. Kazu and Emily were still weary of him but accepted him for who he was.

Agito reached over the other boy who flinched as he touched his shoulder. Chitose looked at him and glared, "W-what else do you want to know?" he managed to say as he wiped his own tears away.

Agito looked uncomfortable, he looked away from Chitose, so he didn't notice that the other was swaying or that his legs were shaking.

"Fuck, look I'm not going to repeat myself," he said and sighed, "Fucking hell, I'm s-sorry ok?"

Chitose blinked and stared at the shark who was frowning at him. He smiled and blushed a little, Akito probably made him say sorry. But, Chitose was grateful, both to Akito and Ikki. If it weren't for this race, he would have never told Agito anything. He wondered vaguely as he's eyes started to close, did the crow plan this all along?

Agito noticed Chitose falling to the ground he caught the boy before he hit the ground. What the hell was going on? Chitose was knocked out, and had a very slight fever but other then that…he was sound asleep! Sure it was night but it probably wasn't past seven!

"Fuck…" muttered Agito as he sighed.

He wondered if Chitose heard him apologize? Well , if he didn't then too bad cause he wasn't going to say sorry again. The shark sighed again as he picked up Chitose, bridal style only to realize just how light the boy really was. He could probably feel the boy's ribs if placed his hand under his shirt…ok not going there.

He suddenly felt Chitose snuggled against his chest burying his face in it. Agito blushed faintly before he speeded off towards Kazu's house. All the while Chitose wrapped his arms around his neck and nuzzled against him.

Agito, thought he would deny this, chuckled slightly because it tickled. He smiled slightly and looked down at the tiger who was peacefully sleeping in his arms. May be it was time he, got to actually know the kid before trying to interrogate him? Probably.



Ikki was smirking as he watched Agito, with Chitose in his arms ride up the house. Yup, his plan worked they always do…usually. Kazu stood beside Ikki, he knew that smirk, so when he saw Agito walk in with knocked out Chitose in his arms placing him gently on the couch and glared at every one else. As if saying 'I dare you to say something'.

"Ikki…" said Kazu.

"Hm?" answered Ikki as he watched the shark with a knowing smirk on his lips.

"What did you put in those sushi rolls?" asked Kazu, those he was kinda afraid to ask or rather, to know.

Ikki grinned at Kazu, evilly, "Hehehe…sleeping pills!"

The blonde wasn't sure if he should applaud Ikki or hit him.

"Why?!"

"Because-"

"Because Ikki-kun is helping me set up Chitose with Agito!" said Akito having switched the eye patch over.

Akito hugged Ikki who merely tensed up a little but other then that, he made no motion to pull the boy off of him. Kazu smirked, about time his best friend accepted this.
"Set them up?" asked Kazu.

"Yeah, Akito asked me for help and I agreed. Besides it's fun annoying Agito." answered Ikki.

Kazu rolled his eyes, though he was actually thankful to Ikki, considering he got to spend sometime with Emily. Speaking of Emily, Kazu excused himself and went to join the others leaving Akito and Ikki alone in the kitchen.

Akito nuzzled against Ikki's back, happy that the crow didn't move away or freak out like he once did.

"So, did it work?" asked Ikki.

Akito giggled, "Yup! Chitose cleared everything with Agito so know, it should be better!"

Ikki grinned, pleased with himself and how his plan had worked out. He turned to Akito, who took the opportunity and kissed the crow on the lips. Ikki was mildly surprised and a part of his brain was screaming at him to push the boy away. While the other half was telling him to enjoy the kiss and deepen it.

But before he could react to the kiss, Akito pulled away with a large smile on his face and skipped away to play some video games with Kazu and the others leaving Ikki to his own thoughts.

The crow was sort of glad the Akito left, because at the moment he was blushing really badly and had the urge to pounce the little shark. Oh, but someone did notice and the someone was a blonde with a smirk on his own lips. Hey, he can play matchmaker too.
