A/N: I'm sorry! My stories are not going to follow the real storyline anymore (About Yukikaze's past, death etc...) You'll know what I mean if you've read the raws of the new chapters. I'm kinda sad for what happened in the newest chap but *SPOILER* We'regoingtoseemylittleairhead! *SPOILER ENDS!* I'm so glad for that... :D

This time the chapter name is Swedish and it means "The Time that Stops". You can guess the meaning inside it! \^o^/

Now, off you go with the chap 10!


Kanon held her breath. Her heart was beating far too fast. She couldn't think about anything to say. She just thought about herself and Yukikaze and Labrador. She knew that she liked both of the males but she wasn't sure if the feeling was love. She could see that Labrador still had feelings for her but she couldn't read Yukikaze at all. Yukikaze had saved her from the superior whom he had admired and loved. Hyuuga's reaction when he saw Yukikaze was very real but Ayanami had always been Ayanami. No one could ever know Ayanami's plans. If Yukikaze was going to deceive Kanon, she would most likely break completely.

"Is something wrong?" Labrador asked gently. "You seem to be feeling ill."

"If you're not feeling well, I can escort you to your room", Yukikaze said and took Kanon's hand. Kanon suddenly shook it away.

"Leave me alone!" Kanon shouted suddenly. "I... I need time to think... I don't know anymore..."

Kanon ran away from the greenhouse. She tried to hide somewhere in the church but suddenly there was much more people than usually. When she had turned a corner she bumped into Castor's chest.

"Help me, Castor!" Kanon cried. "You're the only one who can help!"

"Please calm down, Kanon", Castor said. "I'll help you as soon as you calm down!"

Castor took Kanon's hand and took her to a quiet place in the garden. He picked up some of the edible flowers and gave them to Kanon. She started munching them slowly and eventually her breathing got steadier and steadier. When she was breathing normally and her heart was not beating too fast she could finally speak to Castor. She told him about how she wasn't sure what she falt for Labrador and Yukikaze anymore and how she was afraid that Yukikaze was deceiving her. She also told Castor that she wouldn't be able to handle the shock of being deceived.

"I think that you should ask him", Castor said. "I don't think that he's lying to you but if you really want to ask then do it."

"But what about my feelings?" Kanon asked and leaned her head in her knees which she was holding on her chest. "Don't you have anything to help me with them?"

"Well... Can you describe your feelings?" Castor asked. "I might be able to help you that way."

"Well, when I'm with Labrador I'm always feeling happy and I'd like that feeling to last", Kanon whispered. "But when I'm with Yukikaze I feel fluttering in my chest and I'm somehow scared all the time. I don't even know what I'm scared of..."

"Ummm... I think that you like both of them", Castor said after a long pause. "But your feelings for this Yukikaze seem to be far stronger than what you feel for Lab..."

"I'm sorry", Kanon said immediately.

"Why?" Castor asked. "You can't decide who you fall in love with. Besides, I think that you should already have the freedom to love without getting hurt anymore."

"Thank you..." Kanon mumbled powerlessly. "I think that if I lose anymore people who are dear to me, I'll really break..."

"It's all right, little delinquent", Castor smiled and patted Kanon's head. "I'll make sure that you're not going to lose any more dear people."

Kanon smiled and stood up. She started walking slowly towards the Eastern Greenhouse. Castor followed her and smiled gently always when she looked at him. When they finally arrived to the greenhouse they saw a funny scene where Teito glared at Yukikaze murderously and Labrador was trying to calm the duo down. Teito looked like he would want to yell at Yukikaze but he didn't do so. When Kanon entered Teito almost ran away from the greenhouse. Kanon looked behind Teito with a confused look on her face.

"What happened here?" Kanon asked quietly. "Why is he so upset all of sudden?"

"It seems that he remembered something from his past", Labrador said quietly. "He was almost going to attack Yukikaze-san but then he suddenly changed his mind."

"Did you say something to him, Yukikaze?" Kanon asked with a low tone.

"I might have mentioned the Raggs king", Yukikaze whispered. "He looked like he would kill me at any second."

"Of course he would look like that!" Kanon snapped. "It was his father after all!"

"Father?" Shade asked. "Are you trying to say that that kid is the prince of Raggs?"

I wasn't supposed to say that! Kanon thought. What do I do now?

"He can't be the Raggs prince", Yukikaze said. "The Raggs prince died whe he was very young."

"Oh... Then I probably mistook Teito for the prince accidentally", Kanon smiled. "By the way, where will Yukikaze sleep?"

"I think that he can sleep in the same room with you, right?" Labrador said innocently. "It won't be a problem, right?"

Well, I've had to sleep with males before, too, but this is a bit different thing, Kanon thought. She cleared her throat and said: "If it's alright for Yukikaze, it's okay."

Yukikaze had paled and started stuttering. Kanon looked at her friend amusedly while Labrador's expression changed from scared to confused. Castor was holding his breath and Kanon was sure that he was actually trying to hold his laughter. Shade's expression was unreadable but Kanon thought that he was amused too.

"Are you saiyng that you can't sleep in the same room with me?" Kanon said with a sweet smile. "We won't be sleeping in the same bed. After everything we've been through together you're saying that you can't sleep with me?"

"I... I think that it's alright for me", Yukikaze stuttered. "The...room, I mean!"

Wow... He really said that, Kanon thought. My little Yuki has become brave!

"Well, I'll ask the sisters to prepere the room for you two", Castor said. He nodded slightly to Kanon. Kanon smiled back at him.

"I'll leave too", Shade said. "The dinner will be served soon."

"We'll need to go too", Kanon said with a wide smile. "You two must be starving. Let's go to eat."

The trio headed downstairs and went to the great hall. They sat next to Shade and Svida and Kanon introduced Yukikaze to a whole heap of people. Even Labrador was smiling even though Kanon knew that he was feeling jealous. She smiled from her heart's content and she even started to forget the sadness that had been staying in her chest from the second when she heard about her adaptive parents' death. She was even laughing a bit and that made Labrador smile even more. Kanon was just smiling there and she finally had someone to love. What could Labrador wish more for her?

After the dinner, Kanon and Yukikaze walked to the guest room of the church. Yukikaze looked out of the window with awe. He could never have even imagined a view like that. The only thing he could do was to stare at the beautiful scenery. While Yukikaze was staring at the scenery, Kanon changed into her nightgown and went to her bed. After standing there for a while, Yukikaze realized that he probably should go sleep too. He quickly wen to bed and an awkward silence fell on the room's atmsphere.

"Hey, Yuki", Kanon whispered. "Was all of this Ayanami's plan?"

"What?" Yukikaze asked. "How could it be? He didn't know that I was alive. I was hiding in this district. Actually I had seen you two years ago here but when I saw that warsfeil attacking, I just had to escape and stay away. When I heard that you had died I just..." Yukikaze coughed and continued: "I think that I was in some sort of coma for these two years. When I saw those aircraft I just knew that something was happening and that it had something to do with you." He coughed again and continued: "I just had to go and see what was happening. I'm glad that I came there."

Yukikaze started coughing very much suddenly. His coughing increased rapidly and suddenly it sounded that he was spitting something out.

"Are you alright?" Kanon asked with a worried voice.

"Y-yes", Yukikaze whispered. "I just have some cold."

Yukikaze touched the blood that he had coughed onto his bed's sheets.

There's not enough time!
