"H. . . huh?" Hatsuharu opened his eyes slowly as the sounds stopped. "We're. . . in the eye of the storm. . . "

"Guess so. . . " Kyou was shuddering as he looked about, not doing any more than sitting up and removing the coat from his head. The two looked around, nearly gagging in shock. What once was a home, lay in ruin. Nearly everything destroyed. The rain was washing every remnant of civilization around them away.

"You. . . okay. . . Neko?"

"I. . . think. . . umm. . . " he looked away. A deep red blush of embarrassment spread over both of their faces. That kiss was completely unplanned, but both of them had to admit, there was something. . . RIGHT. . . about it. . . as well as wrong.

"H. . . how. . . how about you?" Kyou stuttered.

"I'm all right. I. . . think. . . " Haru pretended to look around aimlessly, his eyes could only wander to the other juunishi. "Kyou! You're hurt!" He jumped, hearing the neko hiss as the wound was noticed.

"It's nothing."

His leg was bleeding badly. A large shard of the mirror lay deeply embedded in his flesh, crimson staining it's once beautiful shine and almost pouring down the rest of his leg.

"Baka neko." Haru smiled inside, seeing clearly how brave Kyou was trying to appear. Visibly, though, he could see that the boy was holding in tears and cries of agony.

"I gotta get it out before the rest of the storm passes by. So I'll need your cooperation."

"NO! Please! Haru! No!"

"Shh, it's okay. Shh. Feel free to scream if it'll help. Just don't try to swing at me until it's out, okay?"

He nodded submissively.

"Now lie back. . . " the snow-haired teenager was quick to get on top of the wounded boy, pinning his legs down and trusting that Kyou wouldn't try to kill him with his free hands that were grasping the side of the bathtub.

"Here goes. . . " *It'll only make him more nervous if I count aloud so. . . one. . . two. . . NOW! *

The neko didn't scream in the least, just clenched his fists and whimpered. He was fully in tears now, staring up at Hatsuharu with such a thankful expression he never thought he'd use to somebody he now was so grateful to.

Tearing a long strip of the bottom of his vest off, Haru wrapped it tightly around the older boy's wound, trying to stop the bleeding after what seemed like forever.

. . . and just in time too.

"It's coming back." Kyou whimpered through pained groans.

"I know. . . " Hatsuharu sighed, easing himself on top of Kyou, shielding him from the rain and further misery.

"H. . . Haru. . . !"
