Hey everyone. Sorry it took a while. I am already working the next chapter. Enjoy this short one.

Ch11 Tranquility

Ohayōguzaimas. Dazai said cheerfully.

Good morning. Rae said. Her voice was raspy and grating.

Uh, I sound like I meet Death. She said while trying to sit up.

No, Chuya made sure he wasn't after you. Dazai said with his goofy grin.

Chuya! Rae yelled. Where is he, is he ok? How is Saya?

Calm down. Saya woke up not too long ago. She and Chuya are in his room talking. Dazai said and gave her a soft smile.

Oh, thank goodness. Rae said slumping forward.

How are you feeling? Dazai asked.

Rae just groaned and stood up.

Like hell. She finally responded making her way to the kitchen.

You look it. Well, I'll go get them. Dazai said exiting the room.

Saya! Rae yelled running to hug her.

Thank you, Rae! Saya cried nestling her head into Rae's chest.

Don't worry about it. I am just glad your safe. Rae said stroking Saya's hair soothingly.

Chuya leaned against the frame to the kitchen and watched with a small smile on his face.

A heavy sigh left him and he leaned his head back letting the frame completely support his lightened body.

You ok? Dazai asked Chuya placing a hand on his shoulder. Accidently brushing his neck.

Suddenly Chuya slumped over and fell forward. Dazai caught him by his shoulders lifting the smaller man up slightly.

Sorry. I didn't know. Dazai mumbled quickly trying not to make this obvious to the girls standing nearby.

You're such a jackass. Chuya growled trying to balance himself again without the assistance of his ability. He was slowly siding down leaning to the side.

That bad, eh? Dazai said leaning against the wall near Chuya covertly sliding his arm under Chuyas to hold him up. Making sure to not allow his skin to touch Chuya's.

I don't need your help. Chuya snared under his breath but not bothering to move.

Slowly Chuya's body began to feel light again. Chuya moved over to his seat after pulling down some chardonnay.

How are you doing? Rae asked. Her voice starting to sound slightly more normal. I heard Death got sent after you. Are you safe? She sat down next to him pouring herself a glass.

I am fine. Just sore. Chuya grinned at her.

I heard you had to use tainted sorrow. Do you need me to heal you? I am sure it hurts pretty badly. Rae asked slipping her hand behind Chuya's neck.

I am fine. Chuya pulled Rae's hand in front of him and have her had a small kiss.

As long as you're sure. Rae said failing to hide her concern.

I am sure. Chuya pulled her close and placed a chaste kiss on her forehead. Everything is ok. He finished leaning back again.

Saya made pancakes and sausages. Everybody enjoyed while talking idle chit chat.

After a few hours everyone dissipated and returned to their normal day to day life.

Rae sat out on her balcony trying to figure out what to do next. It had been two days.

What am I going to do? There is nothing here. I have everything but nothing works. Am I worthy of having all this? Rae couldn't get out of her own head. No one cares anyway.

What are you doing? Dazai asked walking out onto the balcony and sitting down across from Rae.

Contemplating. Rae said simply.

What? Dazai asked.

What I am going to do next. There is nothing left for me anymore. I honestly wasn't expecting to see you again. I haven't heard from you in what? Two days. When you said you had found something worth living for I guess I just took it the wrong way. Rae said steadily deflating as she continued to speak until she was just slumped in her chair.

Let's go have some fun. Dazai said pulling Rae up from her seat.

What? Where? Rae asked stunned at the sudden change.

Just come on. Trust me? Dazai asked with a mischievous grin.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Please R/R. See you later! =^_^=
