Chapter 4: Discovery

"Iie!" Shun fell onto the bed, his hair soaking with sweat. "Kuso! Kuso! Kuso"

The boy slammed his fist into the pillow, the soft cushiony material absorbing the force. Tears ran from his eyes, his other hand squeezing the sheets.

"I've searched everywhere! How could I be such a terrible person?" Shun shouted at himself.

The ex-commander of Gospel turned around, remembering the harsh memories of loss.

-----------------------------------------------

"Mamoru-chan!" Shun screamed. "Where are you?"

He knelt against a fountain, catching his breath. "Chikushou!"

The sun shone strongly through the boy's glistening hair, rays of light striking his tears. Shun dipped his hands into the fountain, collecting water in his palms and splashing it in his face.

The water soaked his visage, tears no longer apparent. His expression however, remained the same. He yelled as loud as he could. "MAMORU-CHAN!"

People in the vicinity, clasped their hands to their ears. Shun's scream echoed through the winds, causing everyone to flee.

The ruby-eyed boy calmed down, now alone. "Mamoru-chan…gomen…"

-----------------------------------------------

"Doshite? Doshite Mamoru wa…" Shun wept.

"Watashi?" A confused voice said from behind.

Shun gasped, quickly looking up from the pillow and gazing into the chocolaty eyes of his boyfriend.

"Mamoru-chan!" Shun hugged him, squeezing tightly. "You're okay!"

"I won't be if you don't let go…" Mamoru choked, trying to push Shun away.

"Oh…excuse me…" Shun chuckled, sighing in relief. "Where were you? I was looking everywhere for you!"

"I was here the whole time." Mamoru explained. "I thought you went out to get some food, so I didn't take any notice."

Shun fell face-first into the floor, causing Mamoru to nearly fall out of his wheelchair from shock.

"Shun-chan! Shun-chan! Get up!"

"Zzzzz…" The boy snored.

Mamoru giggled, taking hold one of Shun's sleeves. "Come on!" He dragged him across the floor and managed to throw him onto the bed. "Omoi…"

"I wonder what spooked him so bad…" Mamoru climbed onto the bed, cuddling into Shun's arms. "I've never seen him so scared…Does he really care about me so much?"

Mamoru smiled at the thought of Shun protecting him. "Shun-chan…you'll be with me…"

-----------------------------------------------

In Shun's mind, two red eyes flashed in the darkness. Green streaks trailed the shadows, outlined in a glowing violet tinge.

"Obihiro Shun…You will witness my rise again…"

The figure turned, torn blackness enveloping it. "Mugen…Gosuperu!"
