So sorry about replacing the last chapter, but it was interfering with the making of this one. Enjoy!


Mamori reached up and took off his sunglasses, gazing into the endless depths of the oceans of green. He could see his own eyes reflected in her clear blue ones as he brushed a hand against her cheek. A small smile showed on his face, "I found you."

She threw her arms around his neck and he rested his around hers. She allowed his sunglasses to fall, not hearing the clatter it made once it hit the pavement. "You came..." she said, barely over a whisper as she snuggled her head in the crook of his neck. A tear escaped her eye and he wiped it away with her thumb. They were alone in the park, everyone else had gone home, for ominous dark clouds loomed above, sending everything into shadows.

They didn't feel the wind as it whipped the leaves around them, nor did they hear the sound of distant thunder as they held on to each for warmth. Neither did they feel the cold drops of rain falling as their lips made contact, and they shared a deep, passionate kiss, deeper than any before. She could've melted against him because the warmth she had been craving for so long now seemed to burn against her skin. And she loved it. Her hands gripped his dark hair and he hugged her closer to him.

The rain beat down harder as he pulled away. The wind blew harder as their hands intertwined and she guided him home.


Mamori lay several towels on her couch while Hiruma lighted a fire. Then, with their jackets hanging of her wooden chairs' backs, they lay on the couch facing the fire. Hiruma had an arm around her shoulders and she was resting his head on his. He was gently stroking her hair and she had her arms wrapped around his waist.

"I really missed you," "Ceh. You're still fucking annoying. Can't stay quiet for more than a minute, can you?" Mamori pinched his side and he let out a bark of laughter. Hiruma turned to face her and pushed her back a bit so he could see her better. "At least you got a new hairstyle, the last one looked like a wet mop," he said, in a mocking tone. Mamori glared at him and punched his chest, only to have him start laughing again. But a grin spread across his lips, "Well you're one to talk! You used to look like a lightning bolt just hit you! If my friend didn't meet you and called, I wouldn't have had any idea who you'd be!" "Oh yeah? I bet you're still a cream puff eating monster, aren't you?"

Mamori's averted her eyes and leaned back against the sofa, crossing her arms, "Sadly, they don't have those here..." That got him. He went silent for a moment before he raised an eyebrow, sneer returning to his face, "Then what have you been striving on, marshmallows?!" Mamori couldn't hold the smile back and just laughed, throwing a pillow at his face. That started a pillow fight which ended when a stray pillow hit a flower vase and it broke. "Whoops..." "You really need to practice your aim, fucking manager," "Don't call me that! Besides, I'm not your manager anymore!" He grinned at her and kissed her forehead, "You'll always be my fucking manager, fucking manager." She couldn't help smiling.

"You're gonna help me replace that, you know."


They had dinner at some Italian restaurant before Hiruma walked her home. On the way back to the hotel (which was actually in walking distance, something he cursed himself for not knowing), Hiruma sighed and thought, 'This was a good day,' breathing in the cool night air. When he reached his hotel bedroom, all the exhaustion he had gone through that day hit him like a huge tidal wave and he fell asleep on his bed without bothering to take of his shoes or jacket.

A small figure of Devilbat Junior suddenly popped up and said, "Snugglely Bugglely Wugglely!! Don't you think so?" The bigger Devilbat popped up as well and said, "Aw... Yoichi-chan is all tired and he's shweeping wike a widdle baby... so cute!" They vanished together and Hiruma raised head and looked around groggily. "Something's wrong with me..." he wondered aloud, before dropping his head back on the pillow and falling asleep... again.

Only the next morning did he realize his favorite pair of shades were missing.


Day 3

"Aw... he looks so cute!!"

'Damn Devilbats...'

"Wow, no wonder you never got together with anyone! He's sexy!"

'Wha?!'

"Shh!! Don't wake him up!"

"You're really lucky... I'll never get a boyfriend this hot..."

'Okay, now that's just strange...'

"That's cuz you're a total flirt." giggles

'Wait a minute... Devilbats don't giggle...'

Hiruma snapped his eyes open to see a blond, a red-head and Mamori's faces above him, all grinning, "Morning Yoichi!"


A pair of doves were perched peacefully on the branch of a tree outside a window... There was a slight breeze that day and the sun shone brightly. The songs of the morning birds echoed throughout the town...

"WAAARGH!!!"

All the birds within 10 miles flew away in panic and people rushed to their windows, expecting a robbery somewhere, when back in a certain hotel...


Hiruma had fallen of his bed and had his back against the wall, breathing hard. His eyes were still wide open from shock and the three girls were laughing out loud.

"We did knock, Hiruma," said the red-head.

"Yea, Frostbite! Chill out!" said the blond, that sent them laughing again.

He regained his composure and frowned, then crossed his arms and glared at the trio, "What are you doing here anyway?"

"Aww, don't be mad Yoichi-kun. You didn't answer your cellphone and your front door was open so we let ourselves in!" said Mamori, smiling at him sweetly. A vein popped on his temple and he continued glowering at them, which sent them laughing again.

"Hey, what's going on in there?" called a guy's voice from outside. "I thought you were just gonna wake him up!" the voice became steadily louder as he walked to the door and opened it, stepping in. Hiruma raised an eyebrow in mild surprise, for lo and behold; it was Matt. "Hey!" he greeted Hiruma cheerfully, with a smile much like the one he used on that old lady. "Hey," Hiruma replied in monotone and kept his arms crossed, looking away. "Hey, don't get all pouty, Frostbite! We just said 'good morning', right?" said Nikki. "Ceh, you think I didn't hear what you said before that?" Nikki and Elaine blushed tomato red and started giggling nervously, "Oh, you heard that?" asked Elaine, avoiding eye contact.

"Okay, guys. I think Yoichi needs to change, right?" Mamori added the last partlooking at Hiruma for support. "Just get out," he replied, still not looking at them. Before Matt went out, he said in a hushed voice, "Hey, be glad you weren't wearing your PJs... or your boxers." Hiruma would have retorted had the door not been closed.


They brought Hiruma sight-seeing that day, showing him the Burmingham Palace, Big Ben, Notredame (spelling?) and other popular tourist spots, including the London Dungeon; that got laughs out of everybody, since no one had been there before. Nikki was pale as anything by the time they got out.

They had lunch at McDonalds then went for a movie... a horror movie. Nikki didn't want to go, but someone wasn't gonna let her go that easily, no... someone was still a little sour... "Looks like Barbie's afraid of some moving pictures, is that it?" "Oh, can it Frostbite!" "F-" Hiruma was just about to curse her when Mamori clamped a hand over his mouth, "Yoichi, calm down. Come on, Nikki! It'll be fun!" That's what they thought.


-In the cinemas; seating from left: Matt, Nikki, Elaine (Nikki insisted on sitting between them), Mamori, Hiruma-

Mamori clung onto Hiruma's arm as if her life depended on it and squealed when the ghost appeared. He let out a bark of laughter and pulled his arm away from her,"I didn't know you got scared so easily," but before she could protest, he wrapped it around her shoulders. She gave him a soft smile before sliding he arms around his slim waist.

On the other hand...

"Um, Matt? Are you okay?" "I-I-I'm f-f-fine! W-Wh-Why's d-d-d'you ask-k-k??" "Because you're clinging to me like you're gonna be attacked by a drunken lunatic, that's why."

The movie wasn't that scary, but Matt had his arms wrapped around Nikki's neck like a little boy holding onto his mother because she was closest living person that he knew, his eyes wide open in fear. Elaine laughed away beside her, "He's afraid of horror movies, but he won't admit it, he's too cool!"


When the movie was over, Mamori was holding onto Hiruma's right arm and he had his white hoodie slung over his other shoulder casually. They faced the other three, "So, where're we going next?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

Mamori gave them a secret wink, one Hiruma didn't see. (now, I'm winking at you, one they do not see... You're winking a lot lately, do you have something in your eye? smiles shut up.)

"We'll go and have dinner, then why don't we check out this new night club?" suggested Matt. Hiruma shrugged, "Sure, why not?" and turned to walk with Mamori first.

All four of smiled a secret smile. 'Let's see if you can dance.'
