Yuki flickered in and out of unconsciousness like some broken fluorescent light. Clicking on and off. Being awake and aware of a sharp deafening pain in his back, and floating blissfully asleep .

But now, he could feel it again. That pain that usually swifty sent him back into unconsciousness. But it was number this time, duller. Easier to deal with.

'What happened?' He thought 'That sound...'

He listened harder, becoming more and aware and awake.

'I can hear it. It's right next to me...' He began focusing his attention on opening his eyes 'Who's... crying?'

After a lot of struggle, a pair of amber eyes opened ot a sea of white. Starteling him at first, he exhailed when he realized it was just the slightly damp sheets that surrounded him.

He looked around, attempting to move as little as possible for fear of the pain that would return. Then he saw it. A crumpled frizzy mass of pink.

"Shu-- ichi?" He asked

The sobbing stopped.

Shuchi stopped cryuing and listened harder.

"Yuki?" He asked

Yuki was silent for a moment.

"Yeah." He replied

"You're awake."

"Yes. How long have I been out?"

Shuichi took in a shaky breath.

"Why are you crying?" He asked

Shuichi sat silent for a moment before attempting to speak.

"Well... I... I couldn't... Yuki..."

"Stop." He said gently; so gently that it surprised even him. He already knew what Shuichi was tryng to tell him. Dimly, somewhere in the recesses of his mind, he knew.

He exhailed, and for the first time since he could remember, he could feel tears welling in his eyes. He reached his right arm out, and smiled sadly as his wing bent down to greet it.

He felt a tear roll down his cheek when he couldn't repeat the action with his left.

"I'm... I'm sorry." Shuchi said "I... I wanted to heal you... I've been trying but... I..." Yuki could fel Shuichi's hot tears drip down his back "I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!" He sobbed

My wing..." Yuki said, unknowlingly letting the tears roll down his cheeks as he sat up "It's gone."

He reached back to feel if anything remanined of it. He could only feel bandages.

"Mizu... he bandaged you." Shuichi said

'I feel... so... heavy... so weighted down...'

"You were bleeding a lot." Shuichi continued

'My soul, feels bound to this body... I can't fly anymore. I can't feel... free...'

"You probably shouldn't leave bed... I'll stay here though."

'I can no longer make my body rise to kiss the moonlight.'

"I'll stay with you."

"Get out."

Shuichi's eyes widened. Yuki glared at him.

"GET OUT!"

Shuichi jumped off the bed, moving backwards.

"Yuki?"

"GET OUT!" He shouted, picking up a lamp "NOW!"

Before he could stop himself, he flung the item, aiming for behind Shuichi.

He missed.

Shuichi looked wide eyed at Yuki, blood filling his hand.

"Shu..." Yuki began, reaching for him

Shuichi took off running.

"Ah, so he's awake is he?"

Mizu nodded.

"Will you be going to see him, Lord Kaname?"

"No."

Mizu cocked his head.

"But Sir, he's your son... you nearly killed--."

"Mizu." Kaname interrupted "You have served me for a great number of years." He continued walking swiftly "So, I regard you more as a friend that a servent. I trust you, and often value your imput, which is why I often let you get away with more than I would were you anyone else in this palace."

He turned a corner, Mizu followed.

"But..." Kaname continued, suddenly lashing out and grabbing Mizu by the throat, liftng his lithe body off of the ground. "If you continued to speak to me as if you are the master and I am the servent... our relationship will have to change. Understand?"

Mizu nodded and Kaname set him down, and continued to walk.

"I'll go visit Eiri when I have time. He'll be fine until then."

"But--."

Kaname glared at him, Mizu silenced and Kaname kept walking.

REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!!!

A.N. The more I write about Yuki loosing his wing, the more I feel awful about it. It seriously hurts my heart. But it's all for a purpose, I promise. Moving on, you got to see a flash of a darker Yuki in this chapter, and there's more of that to come, I promise. (opps, spoiler). Anyways, I hope this chapter was long enough for you!
