Chapter 14

Makoto was running around in circles, trying to remember where he had said goodbye to Ito. He remembered it had been a clearing deep in the woods, almost close to the camp site. As he was running he thought over Toki and cursed himself for letting Ito stay at the camp with him. Though there were many others at the camp Ito was pretty much defenceless in the hands of Toki-sempai.

He stopped when he made it to a clearing; he tried to get his bearings when he heard the sound of trees moving. He turned to the direction of the sound to see a figure trampling through the trees. He clenched his fists, waiting in anticipation to see who it was. He couldn't make out much, the tall trees hid what little light was left but soon a foot came in clear view. Makoto waited then another foot came in view, then a body toppled onto the ground.

Makoto made a move to run but then heard the body groan. He walked over to it and bent down. The person was wearing a hat so he took it off, and shook his head. "Ito, get up."

She looked up and gave him a huge smile, "Oh, Makoto! I've been looking for you for a while!" He gave her his hand and helped her up. She smiled and took a step back. "It's good to see you." She said.

"It's great to see you. You do NOT know what I've been through the past few days!" She smiled and asked him to explain. He began to walk around the clearing and she walked along side him. "Well, I think I may have a met a man who womanizes MORE then Toki-sempai!"

"You're kidding!" she exclaimed. "Was that all that happened?"

"Of course not, I also met a fellow cross dresser."

"Fellow? You make it sound like there's a club or something."

Makoto shook his head. "I didn't really mean it like that. It was just…very interesting, in the end I ended up with a sprained ankle."

Ito gasped and looked down at his foot. "Are you okay? Can you walk?"

"Ito, we've been walking around in a circle for this whole time."

She looked around them and slapped her hand to her forehead. "I didn't notice!"

He shook his head at her. "Oh, I miss this, I know I've only been gone for two days…but I miss a normal conversation, one that doesn't end with me getting hurt."

Ito gave him a playful punch in the arm. "Don't speak so soon."

"Oh but the worst conversation I had was in the washroom. I'm getting out of the shower and this little kid comes in to tell me not to look at his girlfriend, you know that little one?"

"Oh yeah, how old was she six?"

"I think so, but even worse was when the owner of the house comes in. Like, no privacy."

"Oh, sounds like the public bath house I went to. I go in and there are, get this 3 males right in the door way of the female change room." She punched the air as she said, "So I decided to show them the way out!" Makoto laughed as he pictured Ito knocking the hell out of three peverted boys at the local pubic bath. "Yeah it was great!"

Makoto smiled. "Good to hear." He looked down at the hat he was holding. It was in a triangular shape and made of a very nice velvet. "Ito, why are you wearing...what I can only assume is...a pirate hat?"

She grabbed it and brought it down over her head. "For the play!"

"Oh I see..." Makoto nodded but honestly was a tad confused. "What play is it?"

Ito grabbed the hat and brought it down on her head. "Treasure Island! I'm playing Long John Silver!"

Makoto smirked. "Huh, I thought Tokisempai may have been a better pick for that role. "

Ito shook her head. "No, Toki, is not with us anymore."

Makoto lookedat her, delight in his eyes. "You mean..he's dead!"

Ito gave a short chuckle to his joy, "No...he just left after the first night, you know, once we started work he decided to suddenly take a summer course in Collage."

Makoto gave a sigh of releif inside but tried not to show it to Ito. "That's good...So..." He looked to the ground, not knowing what to say.

"So...? What?" She stared at him with a large grin on her face. He had run out of things to say however, Ito didn't seem to notice. "Hey,how did you get along with those guys. The orange haird one seemed a bit hostile to you.

Makoto nodded thinking about Kyo, then about Yuki. Both of them really adored Tohru, but neither of them could really show it. He looked back at Ito who was waiting for his answer and wrapped his arms around her.

Ito was obviously confused byt his gesture for she asked in a worried voice, "Makoto, is everything alright?"

He kissed her gently on the neck. "I just had the most terrible thought."

"What?...you can tell me." she said it so easily that Makoto had this odd feeling, deep down that she'd understand what he was going to say.

"I just thought...what if I could never hold you...ever. I know right now it's hard because of our high school situation but...even after graduation. IfI could never really be close enough to you...to smell you or kiss you. And...it scares me..." He burried his face in her neck again,sighing deeply but stopped in mid breath when he felt her arms slowly wrap around his back.

"You're right..." her voice was calm and soothing but there was something lonly behind it. "I'd probably go insane if you and Icould never really be like this."

They stood there in silence for a few moments until Ito finally said, "I guess I took this for granted."

"Well...I never did." Makoto said trumphantly. "I'll just apprciate it more...But if me not holding you will make you go insane then I'll make sure to hug you every minute of every hour of every day!"

Ito pulled away. "No, that's okay!"

Makoto grabbed her around the waist and pulled her towards him. "It's my duty."

As Yuki was making his way back into the house he decided to go for a small walk, just make sure Makoto was alright. As he passed the clearing where they had all met he saw the moon shining down upon Ito and Makoto in a small embrace. He gave a small smile at them. He turned to go but noticed Tohru comming towards him.

"Hello Yuki-kun!"

"Hello. what are you doing out so late?" he asked in a worried voice, hoping Kyo hadn't distroyed the house or Shigire had read Tohru one of his books.

"Looking for you. We're going to be having supper soon, are you and Makoto-kun going to come in soon?"

Yuki nodded. "Yes I'm finished...thank you Ho...Tohru-san."

Tohru, who had been looking at a squrill in a tree looked up at Yuki suddenly. "What did you say?"

He shook his head. "Yes, we'll be in soon."

"Great!" with that she ran backinto the house. Makoto joined Yuki soon and they retreated back into the house.

I still like hearing the reviews :D
