Err... I just put a new section on my profile? Go check on it if you want to xD

Ichiru gently ran his fingers through soft blonde locks. His eyes mirrored exhaustion before he stopped in his motion. Carefully he inspected the pale face of the blonde, his fingers tracing the skin and his felt his body shivered by the coldness.

"… if only you are still alive, then we won't be here."

His voice was heard in the mortuary, only occupied by both of them. Ichiru closed his eyes and sighed before his thumb caressing almost lovingly the marred skin on the blonde's arm. But the dead body did not moved, as it was already dead.

Ichiru leaned down slightly, his standing body bending forward as he gently traced his thumb against one of the man's eyebrow, his own lilac softened.

"… Can you please stop playing with the dead? You creeping me out." A blank looking Senri suddenly commented. Ichiru stopped in his action, looking over his shoulder at a redhead nurse with a sheepish smile on his face.

"Oh?"

Senri twitched slightly as he entered the dark room.

"The victim's family is already here to take the body home. Maybe you want to go and visit Akatsuki now…" Senri suggested while Ichiru nodded, covering the blonde wholly with white cloth before he took off his gloves and left, not forgetting to say 'thanks' to the redhead. Senri sighed softly once Ichiru disappeared behind the door and turned to look at the blonde corpse.

"Poor guy."

Ichiru quietly entered the ward where a certain amber eyed pathologist was submitted. When he closed back the door, he was surprised to see a familiar tall brunette wearing casual clothes leaning against the wall. Kaito raised a hand, a small smile endearing his lips.

"Hey."

"Kaito? You're back?" Ichiru blinked as he approached the bed when his unconscious partner was sleeping on. Takuma was standing on the other side of the bed, checking on Akatsuki while Kaito nodded, his arms crossed

"Yeah, just this morning. We ended the meeting one day earlier and I've heard about Akatsuki so I came here as soon as possible." The brunette informed and Ichiru smiled at his words. He sat on the bed and watched as Takuma continued to check on him.

Last night had been havoc. Everyone, included Zero was panic like mad; he was not even daring to enter the emergency room when Akatsuki was being rushed to the hospital. It was Kaname that did the operation on the blonde, thankfully that his injuries were not too severe. Only some burns and a wound on his head.

Ichiru sighed heavily; face palming himself before he proceeded to take the seat next to the bed. Not long after that, Hanabusa together with Zero entered the room to company them and Ichiru could not thank them more for their support.

Akatsuki Kain was having a dream.

He blinked as he looked at a certain paediatrician standing in front of him, his white doctor coat on and his glasses that he rarely used were set upon his eyes. But that was not intriguing enough. It was the fact that they were in the middle of woods, he was standing and Hanabusa was sitting on a chair in front of him.

A small table set was beside the short blonde, on the surface were sweets and a tea set.

Akatsuki furrowed his eyebrows.

"Here this, Akatsuki, now I'm going to tell you something about your future!" the blonde stated with a smirk upon his face and the taller blonde felt the need to run at once. But before he could do anything, someone else appeared.

Zero Kiryuu, dressed in a white tailcoat suit completed with a pink bowtie, was urgently checking on his pocket watch. But the pair of white bunny ears and a fluffy round, short tail on his bums that caused his amber eyes to widen.

"I'm going to be late! I'm going to be late!" the bunny-alike Zero repeated as his panicking lilac eyes wandering around the woods, seemed to be oblivious of the blondes' presences before he took one direction towards the east. Akatsuki watched with open mouth as the bunny disappeared.

Hanabusa growled at the disturbance.

"Akatsuki! Focus! This is important!" Hanabusa barked at him and Akatsuki boringly turned his eyes back to him. When the shorter blonde was about to give further explanation on his topic, another figure ran towards them from nowhere.

This time, it was Kaname Kuran dressed in black, Samurai clothing that caught his eyes.

"Akatsuki-san, Hanabusa-san, I was wondering if you have seen any adorable, fuckable white bunny running in this direction?"

Akatsuki had never been this speechless in his whole life. His amber eyes went to eye a katana in Kaname's left hand and he was suddenly afraid of what the samurai-alike Kaname would do to the bunny-alike Zero once he found him.

"… He went that way." Akatsuki pointed a finger toward west and his body involuntarily shivered by the way Kaname smirked, his tongue licking his lips in sadistic manner and oh – that so called katana had suddenly turned into a long, huge dildo!

… Akatsuki hated himself for being around all these sex maniacs and masochists.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Akatsuki-san." With that, the samurai ran off to his directed way. Hanabusa made a face and Akatsuki showed him the middle finger.

"Okay, now that we've done with distraction, look at this!" the blonde suddenly took something from the plate on the table, which was a pair of mini buns.

Akatsuki raised an eyebrow.

Tell him what he was doing there again?

"This is the thing about your love life! Your future mate!"

"… I don't want to get marry with mini buns. It's unnatural."

"Akatsuki, you idiot! I wonder how many of your brain cells actually worked!"

"Definitely a lot more than yours." Akatsuki retorted just to have the mini buns hit against his face. The blonde groaned, pulling the buns away – it somehow sticky, ew – and he turned to glare at the paediatrician who was grinning madly.

"You have to remember, it is important! Two things, Akatsuki, mini buns and ass! You got me?" Hanabusa wagging a finger at him and the other blonde just looked at him in confusion.

Mini buns and ass?

But he hated mini buns.

And what was up with ass?

This dream was ridiculous, Akatsuki inwardly twitched.

"Oh, don't give me that look!" Hanabusa scolded him and he was about to ask more when their world suddenly shattering. The ground was shaking and Akatsuki held onto the bun tighter in his hand. Hanabusa was panic as a black hole appeared in the sky and it seemed to start sucking everything in.

That included a samurai with a bunny, naked together.

Akatsuki jawdropped at the extreme sight but he was distracted when he felt himself being pulled in as well. Surprisingly, Hanabusa stayed fixed on the ground. The short blonde shouted at him as he was being pulled towards the hole in the sky.

"Remember, Akatsuki! MINI BUNS AND ASS!"

Akatsuki clenched his eyes closed as the hole engulfing him in and decided,

… That was one hell of a dream.

"Urmm…"

Ichiru's eyes widened as he saw Akatsuki made a slight movement. Hanabusa who was bickering with Zero stopped as well and the blonde quickly took the other side of the bed to check on the blonde pathologist since Takuma was not there.

The other silver haired pathologist bit his lips as he leaned over the unconscious blonde while his twin brother went to stand beside him. Kaito had gone to set himself at the end of the bed as well.

"Hanabusa…" Akatsuki murmured softly, eyes still closed and said blonde frowned slightly with worried.

"Akatsuki, I'm here…" the said blonde gentle tapped his palm against the pathologist cheek to wake him up.

"Hanabusa…?" he whispered against and the paediatrician nodded his head again.

"Yes?"

"… Ass?"

There was a silence in the room before…

"… I did NOT just hear Akatsuki perving on me."

Kaito burst into laughter as Ichiru frowned looking at the still unawake pathologist. Zero was grinning uncharacteristically at the situation and Hanabusa was about to pull his stethoscope off his neck to strangle Kaito with it when suddenly Akatsuki groaned loudly.

The four people turned to look at him, watching as Akatsuki opened his eyes groggily.

Ichiru was the first to cup his cheek and turned his face to look at him.

"Akatsuki, are you feeling okay?" the silver haired pathologist softly inquired and the patient just gave a small, dizzy smile at the sight of his partner.

"Quite… though my arm is kinda hurt…" the blonde mumbled. Hanabusa chuckled at their interaction, casually taking the clipboard on the bedside table before scribbling something on it.

"Patient shows no sign of further brain damage." The blonde amusedly stated as he continued on scribbling the report. Kaito raised an eyebrow.

"Further brain damage?" the brunette questioned and Hanabusa faked a sigh.

"Unfortunately, Akatsuki had been losing his IQ since he was three."

Akatsuki twitched at the paediatrician's words.

"I'm still here, you know."

Ichiru sent a glare toward Hanabusa's direction but the short blonde just shrugged it off. He placed the clipboard back on its position before turning to look at Zero and Kaito. The three of them exchange glances and nodded, deciding that Akatsuki and Ichiru somehow needed their time alone.

"I'll go look for Takuma. He should know better what to do with you." Hanabusa chuckled as he left the room. Kaito wrapped an arm around Zero's waist before they also make their way out, consciously realized that Zero did flinched a bit and his smile was quite awkward.

"Something happened?" Kaito softly asked and Zero shook his head, careful to close the door. The brunette stood beside his crush, blinking his eyes in confusion at him. Zero was about to make some excuse to save his ass when suddenly, Hanabusa walked passing by them.

"I've washed and folded Kaname's slacks that you used that day. Take it in my room later on when you decided to return it back to him." Hanabusa nonchalantly stated as he walked away, glancing over his shoulder with a grin on his face towards Zero.

Zero swore the blonde did it on purpose. He could see the evil smirk and evil aura around the short blonde.

Oh, he just knew that he was right.

Hanabusa, ever since the first they met, Zero knew that he was the reincarnation of the Devil. What else explained the shovel in his hands, a wide, sadist grin on the face of 4-year-old kid, blood on his shirt and the dead body of a cat beside his feet?

He accidentally – inserted Zero's rolling eyes – killed a cat when he was 4 and still had the gut to bury it in the sandy area of a playground?

And to make it more ironic, there were lightning in the dark sky and the rain was falling heavily too at that time.

Zero should have known better than to let the blonde lived. He should have killed him at the very right moment. He should have strangle him, hit him with the shovel, use the cat frozen body to slap him many times on his fucking face. But Zero didn't.

And now looked what he had done to him?

The Devil had managed to dig and make his own grave.

Kaito twitched as he watched Zero staring at the leaving blonde, his lilac eyes glaring hole at the back of Hanabusa's head but he was somehow disturbed by the thing that Hanabusa said just now. He grabbed onto Zero's arm, waking him up from his reverie.

"What?" Zero meekly asked. Oh, he did not like the look on Kaito's face.

Kaito stared straight faced at him, eyes masked from any emotions and Zero felt the need to run. But the hand tightened on his arm and suddenly the atmosphere was too suffocating.

"… Do you have anything to tell me, Zero?"

Zero Kiryuu was now doomed.

Ichiru quietly climbed on Akatsuki's bed as the blonde shifting slightly to one side, giving him some space to lay beside him. The silver haired pathologist settled himself on their shared pillow and bed, laying on his left side to face the blonde. Akatsuki stared at him for a while, reaching out left arm and gently stroking the soft silver strands.

The younger pathologist closed his eyes, enjoying the tender caress that Akatsuki always done to him. It stopped once he got distracted by his girlfriend and he realized now how much he missed having those long fingers running through his hair.

And suddenly he felt the need to cry.

Akatsuki frowning when his partner suddenly sniffed; wrapping his arms around his waist and Ichiru proceeded to bury his face against the blonde's chest. Akatsuki carefully rubbing circles on the smaller man's back.

"Ichiru, what's wrong?" he gently prodding the younger Kiryuu, causing the latter to finally burst into tears.

"I thought I've lost you…" Ichiru cried out, burying his face deeper onto the blonde's chest. At first, the blonde was at loss of words, was not sure how to react to the situation since he had never made the younger pathologist cried. Usually he was the one who chased away all his tears, fake or not, and now Ichiru was crying like a baby on him.

"Hey, but you didn't-"

"You stupid! What if you die?" Ichiru titled his head up, watery eyes adorably glaring at his own and Akatsuki had to suppress a chuckle. He gently tugged on Ichiru's red hair tie, pulling it off and his hair fell against the pillow. Ichiru stilled in his position as Akatsuki leaned down, his fingers taking some strands of his silver locks in his hand and he tenderly kissed the tresses.

Pink blushes appeared on his cheeks when Akatsuki gently nuzzling his nosetip on his neck.

"Hey… did you hit your head or something?" Ichiru quietly asked with a nervous laugh, his cries already substituted by his racing heart. Akatsuki smiled, pulling back before leaning their foreheads together before closing his eyes. The blonde's arms went to wrap around his waist, his bandaged arm draped on Ichiru's right side of the waist while his other arm settled itself quite comfortably between Ichiru's body and the bed.

"I'm sorry, Ichiru."

Ichiru blinked when the blonde apologized, he was about to ask why but when those ambers revealed themselves, he felt butterflies attacking his stomach. He never realized how mesmerizing they were until now. Akatsuki in the other hand; heaved a sigh.

"I was being unfair. You have your own life, so it's normal if you want to focus more on Yuuki. She is your girlfriend after all. And I shamelessly let my anger took control of myself. I couldn't put my finger on what I was feeling but for sure, I know it hurts us both. So, I'm sorry. I should have known better." The blonde softly murmured and Ichiru let out a shaky breath. Since when he did stopped breathing, he was not sure but he did not like the way Akatsuki saying those things.

As if he regretted everything that had ever happened between them.

Ichiru sighed, wrapping his arms tighter around the blonde before hugging him tight.

"I'm sorry too for neglecting you. I missed you, Akatsuki."

Akatsuki smiled as he kissed the top of the silver head. His hands comfortably touching the younger man's back, rubbing on his clothed skin in a tender touch.

"I miss you too, Ichiru."

Zero shifted in his seat, hands on top of the table surface as Kaito sat in front of him, brown eyes never left his face. Zero inwardly whimpered at the thought of how Kaito would respond after he explained everything.

"Well?" Kaito asked in a small, calm voice but the silver haired doctor knew it better. The brunette was now a ticking bomb. He would explode before everyone knew it. Zero took a deep breath, trying to look as expressionless as he could before opening his mouth to speak.

"The day you left for the meeting… Kuran and I had sex."

"…"

Nothing moved, nothing break.

Zero still have his head connected to his body and no blood spilled… yet.

"… Excuse me?" Kaito whispered, brown eyes were filled with unreadable emotions and Zero could saw the invisible aura he was alarm screamed that the brunette was close to explode.

He did not know why he was so anxious to tell the brunette about the situation at all. It was as if he was afraid that Kaito would get hurt… or hurting someone else. Someone else known as Kaname Kuran.

… Wait a second, he did not just indicated that he cared for Kuran. No, no, no, readers, HELL NO.

A twitch appeared on his forehead but he quickly shook it off.

"We didn't have sex like that, I mean… I accidentally took the wrong drug that happened to be an aphrodisiac and– Kaito!" Zero was shocked in his middle explanation when the brunette suddenly stood, sending the chair to fall down and he abruptly made his way out. The silver haired doctor somehow knew what would happen next if he did not stopped him as he cursed and chased over the enraged paramedic.

"Kaito, stop!" Zero tried to stop the brunette, his hand grabbed on his arm to pull him into a stop but being taller and slightly builder than Zero, Zero was dragged forward when he refused to.

Kaname was discussing some issue with Rima and Senri in the hallway when suddenly, he felt a hand placed on his shoulder from the back. Eyes blinking, the brunette doctor turned to look at his back just to see a fist coming to his way.

He stumbled backward, winced when he felt something broke with blood stuffing his sense. And then he came to the conclusion that he just broke his nose.

Cursing uncharacteristically, Kaname looked up and saw the enraged looking paramedic. Zero was standing slightly behind him, mouth ajar, barely covered by one hand and lilac eyes widened. Senri and Rima were surprised as well, stepping to one side for safety when Kaito lurched forward again, this time grabbing the brunette doctor's front shirt.

Their faces were inches apart and Kaname felt his eyes twitched.

"What was that for?" Kaname gritted his teeth, both of his hands dangling on his sides. Kaito tightened his grip on the doctor.

"What was that for? You raped Zero, you bastard." Kaito growled and Zero felt his cheeks warming at the words. He did not like this. Both men were making a scene, they were standing in the middle of a hallway, and their arguing out of him, for God sake!

"Kaito! Stop this at once, you-"

"So? It's not like Zero belongs to you. He didn't seem to complain at all, why should you?" Kaname retorted, brown eyes throwing daggers at the paramedic and Zero wanted to yell at the stupid Kuran for dumping a tank of petrol into the fiery flame.

Some people, visitors stopped in their ways to look at them, as whispering words could be heard.

"That did not give you permission to touch him like that! You sick-"

"You know what, you are just jealous that I'm the first man he allowed to intimately touch him. And I probably would be the last and only one too."

"Kuran!" Zero hissed, standing between them to part them away but courtesy of Kaname's words, Kaito snarled dangerously, one hand ready to punch him again but this time Kaname was well prepared. He avoided the punch in time as his right fist made its contact on Kaito's stomach.

The paramedic released his grip on the doctor's shirt, stepping backward as he hissed in pain. Zero was startled as he watched them, unmoving in his position since he was clueless on what to do. Senri was already gone, leaving Rima trying to help the paramedic out of surprise. Kaname narrowed his eyes at the other brunette, his right thumb moved to wipe away the blood on his nose.

"That for breaking my nose."

Kaito looked up, gritting his teeth as his patience finally snapped.

"That's it, you bastard!"

Lilac eyes widened when Kaito moved forward again, this time undoubtedly trying to punch Kaname with the intent to kill. Out of instinct, he stepped forward and open wide his arms, standing in front of Kaname as a shield and Kaname's brown eyes widened at his action.

"Zero!" the brunette quickly wrapped an arm around his waist from behind, another hand placed on Zero's face before he turned them around, revealing his back for the paramedic to attack. Zero at the same time turned in Kaname's embrace out of shock, before clenching his eyes closed as he unconsciously wrapped his arms around Kaname, fearing for the brunette's safety.

"That's enough."

But the blow never came and a familiar, feminine voice disturbed the intense atmosphere.

Kaname blinked his eyes, turning over his shoulder to look at the intruder while Zero stayed safe in his arms. The latter also opened his eyes, wide as his were met with a pair of Sakura coloured orbs. Kaito was held against Takuma, who looked quite shocked at the situation with Senri standing closed to his lover and the Vice President.

It seemed that the male nurse just reported the situation to Shizuka and Zero felt relief running through his nerves. After a moment, the words that later came from the woman's lips broke the silence that dangerously threatened to kill.

"Takamiya-san, Kuran-san and Kiryuu-san, to my office, now." With that, Shizuka turned on her heels and walked away. Her pristine coat elegantly sway by her motion as the sounds of her heels clicking the floor almost echoed in the now awkward surroundings.

Zero could not help but groaned against Kaname's shoulder, embarrassingly realized that he was now being embraced by the brunette doctor but made no action to struggle.

Because now, it felt like high school was just started all over again.

TBC.
