MonochromeFox: Yay! Another chapter for all you wonderful (spoiled) readers! ^^

BlackSnowMoon: YAAAAAY! XD

MonochromeFox: Again, a big thanks to BlackSnowMoon for her help! :D We even discussed this chapter over the phone! XD

BlackSnowMoon: Noooo! No more angst! *hides*

MonochromeFox: Uh oh… ^^U Well…I better go find her. Well enjoy! BlackSnowMoon! *runs off*

"Don't worry Akira, we'll get him next time!" Shuichi winced as Akira tied the gauze a bit too tight around his leg. "As soon as my leg heals, we'll go again."

The teen glanced up at Shuichi's face. "How did you manage to fall down a well?" he chuckled.

"I swear a Shin was down there!" he squeaked, flailing his arms about.

"Well Shuichi," Akira straightened up and yawned. "I'm off to bed." He hugged Shuichi tightly and kissed his head. Leaping up the stairs, he entered his room and flopped down on the bed.

THUNK! Akira sat up straight only to see the crimson haired shin Shuichi shot earlier. But wasn't he…?

"Akira, you have to listen me! It's about Shirogane!"

The young Rei just flapped his hand. "I don't care about him anymore. So why tell me?" he narrowed his eyes. "And aren't you supposed to be dead?"

"Never mind that. Just listen. When Shirogane came into the clearing and saw me 'dead'," he signaled air quotes. "your gun was smoking after that warning shot you fired. Shirogane got the wrong idea and tackled you. But after I told him what really happened, he held you and said he didn't mean a word it! He even said he loved you."

Akira was stunned. "What have I done?" he sobbed.

"And now he's climbing this tall tree, about to commit suicide! Only you can stop him!"

The sobbing teen jumped out the window and dashed into the forest.

Death was near, but Shirogane felt…calm? Yes. He reached the tallest branch and looked down. A gust of wind blew. Shirogane shuddered and drew his cloak more tightly around his arms. "I love you Akira." He murmured.

Akira stopped short as he stood at the base of oak. "SHIROGANE!" he screamed.

That voice…it couldn't be…? He gazed down and saw the saddest scene ever. Akira stood, tears glittering in full moon up at him. "Akira…" he whispered, tears coming to his own eyes.

"Shirogane! Please don't do this to yourself! I can't stand another moment apart! I LOVE YOU!" he shouted. Shirogane seemed to hesitate, then he jumped and gracefully landed behind Akira.

"D- do you really mean that?" Shirogane stuttered.

Akira turned and leaned on the trunk of the oak. "Yes." He whispered lovingly. He jumped as Shirogane put both hands one on either side of Akira's head, trapped him there.

"I love you too, my Akira – kun." He pressed his lips gently, yet firmly to Akira's.

Akira closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around Shirogane's neck. God, he missed this feeling.

When they broke for air, Shirogane pressed his lips to Akira's jaw and left a small, red love mark. "Mine." He whispered and kissed him again.
