Chapter III
An empty bus, well almost empty, traveled along the deserted lane and it jerked as it traveled over a big bump on the road. Two sleeping form shifted their position in the bus and both opened their eyes, blue and brown, slowly.
"Huh? I fell asleep?" Sakuragi said as he tried to rub his eyes with his left hand but suddenly realized that he could not as it was still tightly grabbed by Rukawa.
"Oi kistnue! Would you mind letting go of my hand?" Sakuragi quickly asked, hoping he was not blushing as the incident before he fell asleep came back to him.
"Um." Rukawa quickly dropped Sakuragi's hand, his cheeks turning slightly pink and he quickly turned to look out of the window.
Did I just see Rukawa blush? Sakuragi stared at Rukawa's back when Rukawa suddenly cursed.
"Kuso!"
"Hey! Who're you cursing? You stupid kitsune!"
"Where's this place? I have never taken a bus home from school but I sensed that there's something wrong." Rukawa asked as he pointed outside the bus.
"Huh?" Sakuragi stared outside and slapped his forehead. "Kuso! No wonder the bus was early. No, it wasn't early. It wasn't even the bus we are supposed to take anyway! Quick, get off before we go anywhere further away." With that, he dragged Rukawa with him and forced, I mean, asked the driver to let them off.
"So what are we going to do? Walk all the way back?" Sakuragi stared down the lane that seemed to stretch on and on to nowhere.
"Sato! Come and fetch me. I'm lost... No, I don't know where I am. Took the wrong bus from school. Now I'm at some deserted lane with a do'aho... I mean... one of my teammate. Hurry up and just find me. Stop asking so many questions or you're fired!" with that, Rukawa clicked off his handphone.
"Do'aho! What're you staring at? Never seen someone making a phone call?" Rukawa smirked.
Sakuragi quickly closed his mouth and retaliated. "Teme! Who are calling a do'aho? You baka kitsune! So what do we do now?"
"Wait." Rukawa sat down against a lamppost, looking unusually pale.
"Wait?? Here? In the middle of the road?" Sakuragi fumed.
"You can walk home if you want."
"What? You stupid kitsune always suggest stupid ideas!" Sakuragi turned to see Rukawa fallen asleep, again.
Heaven chose that moment to darken. Thunder and lightening also chose that moment to rumble and flash. And rain fell from the sky a few moments after that.
"Kuso! Oi! Kitsune! It's raining, what are we going to do? Kitsune!!" Sakuragi asked but the sleeping boy did not stir. So Sakuragi went over to the sleeping form and pushed him gently. He was shocked to feel the hot skin under his touch.
"Kuso! He can't be sick at this moment. What am I going to do? Why hasn't the-whoever-Rukawa'd-called come yet?" Sakuragi muttered.
