"No..! No!" Kiyone's voice could be heard throughout the entire household. "Stay away! Just stay away from me!!"
Touma, who had heard her screams, rushed to her room. Not wanting to barge in and startle her, he banged on the door. "Kiyone-san, are you okay?" he called, concern in his voice. "Answer me!"
"No… please, just leave me alone!" Kiyone cried, thrashing about in her bed. Sitting up in her bed, she screamed. "No!!" Looking at her surroundings, she realized that she was no longer in the cave. The warriors were gone, as was the tiger. 'It was all a dream…' she assured herself, as she took a deep breath to calm herself.
"Kiyone! Are you all right in there?"
Kiyone blinked and looked at the door. "Touma-kun?" she got out of bed and walked to the door, opening it to find the blue-haired warrior of intellect staring at her in unmasked concern.
"Kiyone…" Touma stared at her. Her aqua green hair hung loose at her shoulders. She wore a big, loose, black T-shirt that read 'Shinigami' in purple letters along with black shorts. "Uh... are you okay, I thought I heard you screaming."
Kiyone flinched, remembering the dream. Running a hand through her hair,she let out a shaky sigh. "I… I had a really bad dream…" she answered, still shaking visibly.
"Are you going to be okay?" Touma asked, resting a hand on her shoulder.
"Ahhh…." Kiyone could only blush and stare at Touma's hand.
Touma noticed this and pulled his hand back, blushing also. "Uh, gomen." he replied.
"It's okay…" Kiyone replied, remembering what Nasuti had told her the night before.
Touma smiled a little.
Kiyone couldn't help but smile back in return.

"The house is so empty compared to yesterday," Kiyone noted. "Where is everyone?"
"I think this'll answer your question." Touma answered, noticing a note posted on the refrigerator. Pulling it off, he read it aloud.
~ Nasuti
Touma blinked at the note, and blinked again. Nasuti had gone out shopping. Which meant that Shin probably went along to help. Ryo probably went along to be with Nasuti. Shuu most likely went so that he could pick out any snacks he wanted. Seiji, well, Seiji wasn't here, so he must have gone along so that he could go into town. Which meant that Touma was alone. He was alone in the house with Kiyone.
"What are we talking about when we say a couple of hours?" Touma looked up at Kiyone who was now seated at the kitchen counter.
Touma shrugged. "Depends." he answered. "Food goes fast in this place. And Nasuti will probably be bringing back alot of stuff assuming Shuu went along for the ride."
"So basically you're saying it'll take a while." Kiyone chuckled. "Looks like we're on our own then." she said with a smile.
Touma nodded numbly. "Hai…" he answered. 'God, your smile…it's the most amazing thing I've ever seen…'
"Um… arigato."
"Huh?" Touma replied, brought out of his reverie.
"I said thanks." Kiyone answered.
"For what?"
"I don't know, for just being here, I guess." Kiyone replied. "I was really shaken up by that dream."
"Do you think it meant something?"Touma asked.
Kiyone shrugged. She didn't know, nor did she want to. Instead, she turned to him and smiled once again. "I didn't wake you up, did I?"she asked.
"No, not really." Touma answered. "I usually wake up about this time anyway."
"What time is it?"
Glancing over at a clock hanging onthe wall, he answered, "A quarter after 10 a.m." Kiyone raised an eyebrow. "I'm a late sleeper."
She giggled lightly. "I suppose we should have breakfast then?"
Touma scratched the back of his head nervously. "I'm not really good at cooking…"
"It's all right." Kiyone smiled in understanding. "Breakfast isn't really my specialty, though I can make a mean french toast."
"Sounds fine to me." Touma replied. "I can manage scrambled eggs." "French toast and scrambled eggs,"Kiyone grinned. "Add some orange juice and we've got ourselves a breakfast of champions!"
"Well then, let's get to it!" Touma laughed as the two of them set to work.

Author's Notes:
Miss Chang Po: Yes, it was short, but I'm trying to get as much stuff as possible before I leave.
Wufei: Excuses, excuses.
Miss Chang Po: Oh hush, I wouldn't have to rush if I was allowed to bring my stuff with me. But my mom made it clear that I was not to bring anything remotely anime related with me. Not that I planned on it anyway...
Wufei: Liar.
Miss Chang Po: ::sticks out her tongue:: You don't know that. Anyway, if you guys have any suggestions for any of my fics, drop me an e-mail. I'll be glad to consider them. Thanks a bunch, and as always, keep reading, writing, and reviewing! 3
