LenxKaitoYaoi: Kaito was worrying, of course. Hehe, but since he knew that Len was with his parents, there wasn't much he could do. Thank you for the review~
boomer4ever: Thank you for your review. I am glad that you enjoy the story. I apologize for my late updates. It's good he isn't an enemy. I don't think Len could handle such a betrayal.
PopNyanChan: Thank you so much for your review~! I don't think I would have much of a story if Len went back home with his parents, although I'm sure he really contemplated it. With his developing relationship with Kaito though and his sister not remember their parents, he had to consider what was better. I like to think him staying with Kaito is the best choice.
NekoKitty: Thank you for the review! I am glad you like the story. Here is the next update though I apologize that it's short.
Emzilla97: Thank you very much for your review! I am very glad that you really enjoy my story. I think there may be more parts for tears later one.
Chapter Twenty-Nine: Comfort and Fear
"Are you absolutely sure?"
"Yes. This is all I can do at this time. I trust you will take him to where he needs to be."
"Of course. I'll call him right away to pick him up… I trust we'll be in touch?"
"Yes… Keep us updated… Please."
"Absolutely…"
Len quickly shot up, looking around a semi dark room. There was a slight sound of beeping from a monitor near the bed he was on, cords running down it and connecting to medical tabs that were on him. He looked around the room to try and gain a better idea to location though he stopped when his eyes caught site of Kaito sitting in a chair next to the bed. He was hunched over, asleep. Slowly he reached up and grabbed his head. He was confused; not even sure how he got there. What happened to his parents and Luka? Was it just a dream? Suddenly he shook his head. Those voices he heard talking… It must have been Kizaki and Hayate.
"He must of… dropped me off at the hospital?" Len asked himself. He wanted to spend more time with them, but it seems that wasn't going to happen. At least he had the satisfaction of even knowing they were alive. His eyes suddenly gravitated to Kaito again. The position he was in just didn't look comfortable. "Kaito?" Len called out lightly to try and rouse the other up. "Kaito… wake up."
After a couple seconds, Kaito groggily opened his eyes, looking at Len before jolting up from the chair and hugging him. "Jeez, you need to quit worrying me like this!"
Len was a bit shocked by the action but suddenly found himself resting his head against Kaito's chest. "S-sorry… I'm really sorry." He figured Kaito would be worried, but not like this. "I… I saw a poster that had someone I knew on it… I had to see her."
Kaito pulled back, holding Len at arm's length. "You could've just told me. I wouldn't have been against you going… You hadn't even taken your meds. All sorts of things crossed my mind." He scolded though pulled Len into a hug again.
Len wasn't sure what to say. He was sorry, but he could only apologize so much. There were other things on his mind. For starters, "Kaito… How did I get here?" The last thing he remembered was closing his eyes while talking to his father… then hearing a man and woman's voice which he easily identified as Kizaki and his father.
"I don't know. Dr. Kizaki called me and said you were here…." Kaito answered. He wasn't sure if he should let Len know that he knows about his parents or not. "You had a nasty fever though, so Dr. Kizaki didn't let me take you home."
Len took a deep breath, resting his head on Kaito's chest again when he was pulled back into the hug. "I've had one off and on all day." Now that he thought about it, he wondered if Hayate brought him to the hospital because he couldn't get his fever down. It must have been hard for him to do that. "I really am sorry that I worried you…"
Kaito let a small sigh escape him as he finally released Len from his hug. "I'm over it. Just… let me know next time you decide to see someone." He managed a small chuckle. "I have decided one thing though. I think it might be a good idea to get you and your sister a cell phone." It was a good idea when he thought about it. This way if something were to happen or Len decided to run off again, he could just call Len. It would at least give Kaito some peace of mind.
Len gave an unsure look. He really didn't have much luck with phones. As long as it was something simple, he wasn't going to protest. "If you want. It probably would be better…"
Kaito reached over and lightly ruffled Len's hair. He had a very gentle look about his eyes as he simply just smiled at Len. Eventually he pulled back and sat back down in the chair. "You should try resting for a little longer. I'll try getting you checked out at soon as I can to get you home." He stated.
Len pouted a little but didn't protest, lying back down. Now that he was relaxed again, he actually did start to feel tired again. "Just don't leave me…" He murmured. As much as he loves his parents, he was glad to be with Kaito again. There was just something special about the other that made him feel… safe.
Kaito nodded, leaning back in the chair and just watching Len. "I won't… nor will I ever…" he reassured. The room grew silent after Len fell asleep. The sound of the monitor and Len and Kaito's breathing being the only sound. It was a bit eerily peaceful. So much has gone on, Kaito was having trouble keeping up. There was no way he was going to let himself lose Len again.
Eventually Kaito stood up and moved to the bed again, sitting carefully on the side. Lightly he reached over and started gently brushing the bangs from the younger ones eyes. "I can only imagine how difficult things are for you right now… Knowing your parents are alive… You must be feeling terribly deceived… not that I can blame you…" There was a fear growing in Kaito's mind. Len's parents are alive… there really isn't a reason for Len and Rin to stay with him.
"What are you going to do now, I wonder…" He whispered, leaning forward and pressing his forehead against Len's. Once the ordeal with the cult is over there was a chance that Len will go back home. He couldn't help be feel happy for Len that his family was still alive… but not to see him every day, it would be painful.
Kaito sighed and sat back up. Quietly he moved the chair to be next to the bed, before he sat back down. Once he was situated, he clasped a hold of Len's hand, holding his tightly in his was just one of those situations where only time will tell.
The shelter had grew quiet since they had tried to resurrect their god. Their activity had almost seemed to ceased. Ezeiru was sitting at a table, several pieces of papers strewn about it. He seemed to be doing some kind of research and he didn't look too pleased while he was doing it. "Che… Why do I have to be the one to find the brat… It's not my fault our dear leader let him leave." He grumbled under his breath. He sighed as he picked up one of the pieces of paper, giving an annoyed expression as he read over it. It wasn't providing any form of help. His annoyed expression deepened as a knocking came to the door. "Who is it!?"
Without answering, a man in a suit walked into the room. Quickly he bowed to Ezeiru. "I know where the kid is. I told you we'd find him quicker if he advertised Luka-san being in the city… However, I doubt we'll be able to get a hold of him very easily. It seems he knows a lot more than he should now." The man said lowly.
"I see… May I ask what the problem is?" Ezeiru asked with a very stern voice. What else could possibly go wrong?
"He is aware that his parents are still alive… in fact… he met them." The man said as he crossed his arms over his chest. "What do you suggest I do?"
"Hmnn… That could be problematic… Now that he is aware of it though… it could also provide us with the means to find out where he is currently living." Ezeiru smirked at the thought as he brought a hand to his chin. "We'll lay low for now… When the time comes… we'll use 'that' to lure him to us. I'll be sure to inform our lord." The man nodded, bowing to Ezeiru again before leaving the room
Ezeiru's grin widened as he sat back against his chair, leaning his head back and closing his eyes. "This could be quite the advantage for us… Hehehe… Perhaps we will have our God soon after all."

A/N I apologize once again for my absence. A lot has happened. I had my second child so I have been busy. Future updates will probably also be slow, but I have not given up on completing this. There are only a couple more chapter left. Next chapter will be more fluff than plot since the cult is going to lay low for now. I think it's about time we have a decent fluff chapter that doesn't involve Len getting upset or hurt.
Please R&R, thank you!

Ryelu's Notes: She pretty much summed it up. This chapter is short, but it opens up to a chapter that will happen later. Please let me know if there are any spelling and grammar errors so I can fix them, thank you!
