Days passed as the two boys traveld. The prince had slowly realized as
they got further away from his paalce that he couldn't go home, no did he
want to. One, being that any Takatori supporter would kill him on sight,
and two, out here, roaming around with the bewhitched Ken, was a lot less
stressfull than trying to please and entier kingdom. Besides, he figured
everyone thought he was dead anyways.
The companions travled by day, and talked at night, well, I should say Ken did most of the talking, Ran pretty much just listened because it was hard for him to get a word in edgewise sometimes. As time progressed on its silent march, they became closer and closer, but neither had realized exactly how close they had become, until one late evening at the end of a hot August…
Ken flopped down happily after he changed back to his human form.
"Boy, am I glad this day's over, my paws are killin' me!" he groused to Ran. The former prince smirked slightly.
"Maybe you've been a mutt to long, its starting to effect your mind." He said snottily, earning a brown eyed mock glare. Ken laughed, then leaned back against a tree with a sigh.
"You've sure changed a lot." He said to his paler friend. Ran looked up from building a small fire, startlled a bit at the comment.
"How so?" Ken gazed thoughtfully across the horizan.
"Well, when I first met you, you were kinda a living iceberg, frozen in one mind set. Now you're a bit more playfull, open I guess is what im trying to say, whatever the caase, I like you better this way. Your more fun." Ran gave a small smile and bowed sarcasticaly.
"Im so glad to have been of such entertainment." He drawled, just like the most tiresome lord that had used to attend his court. Ken giggled. Ran arched a thin, delecate eyebrow in an elegant guesture of 'what the hell' in a milder form.
"What?" the darker boy demanded.
"You were giggling like a school girl."
Ken flushed, half in an embarassed blush, and the other in shocked indignation.
"I was not!" he cried, shoving Ran slightly.
"Was too." Ran said calmly as he shoved back.
"Wasn't!!"
"Was so." The shoving continued back and forth, but both were carefull not to actualy hurt the other.
"Was not to infinaty, so HA!!"
"Was so to infinaty plus one."
"ARG!! You can be so infuriating!" the brunette shouted as he shoved Ran over into a graceful heap. However, being as clumsy as he is, the younger boy managed somehow to trip over his own two feet and landed right on top of the slightly winded red head. Ken looked down at Ran, and Ran looked up at Ken. The one on top started to stutter as the taller boy pushed himself up. They're faces were close together, and each could feel the others breath brushing gently past his skin. Ran opened his mouth to say something when he was interupted by a loud cry from outside the clearing.
"I think thems boys went in here boss!"
