Hey!!! So how is everyone?....That's good(or bad). The new song for this is from Escaflowne.
The title is Hikari no Naka E. Ummm...sorry the place where I got it I can't find anymore, so
you can try to find it if you want or just read it without the music.

*************************************************************************************************

"GENRO! KOUJI! We found her!" One of the bandits burst into their room. Tasuki didn't
stir up Kouji leaped up and dismissed the bandit. He stared there for a moment at his sleeping
friend. When Tasuki awoke and talked to Usagi to discover that Sakura had come into the scene
again, Tasuki would know what Kouji had meant by cherry blossoms, and there'd be hell to pay for
Kouji. Kouji left him there. He knew he couldn't avoid it, but he could postpone it.

*************************************************************************************************

"WHAT?" Kouji shouted loud enough that the sleeping blonde stirred and mumbled in her
sleep.

"We found her with no clothes on in Chikashi-san's bed...with Chikashi," the tough,
strong, rugged bandit blushed again, "We got some girls to get her dressed."

"I heard what you said," Kouji scowled and with a motion of the hand dismissed the
entire group of bandits. As he watched the peacefully sleeping blonde he felt something build
up inside him. A feeling akin to rage but not quite that. Finally it swelled up so much until
it need something to make it burst. He woke Usagi up roughly by grabbing her shirt, lifting
her up, and shaking her. "You slept with Chikashi," he accused.

*************************************************************************************************

Laughing eyes watched from the window.

*************************************************************************************************

"I-I what?" Usagi stammered.

"Damnit!" he pushed her away, "you mean to say that going to bed with someone is
something you do casually and forget about the next day? Huh? So, when'd it happen last night?
When'd you meet him?" A part of Kouji checked himself and felt pity for the terror she was
experiencing, but the part all humans are born with, the part with streak of cruelty, urged him
on.

"I don't know..." Usagi moaned cradling her head in her hands. Tears fell from her eyes. "I don't know. I can't remember.."

"How could you do that to Genro?" 'and to me' he added silently. He pushed her up
against the wall and kept her there by putting both his arms on the wall on opposite sides of her
head. He leaned in closer. "Maybe you don't remember, coz you drank too much booze."

"No! I wouldn't" the tears came even faster, "And I wouldn't..." She breathed in
sharply, "I-I'm not a virgin anymore..?"

Kouji leaned in closer and closer until their lips were almost touching. Suddenly, the
door burst open. "K-KOUJI!" Tasuki stopped at the door breathless, "What're ya doing?"

There was a moment of silence save for Usagi's almost silent sobs.

"She's crying, Kouji," Tasuki took Usagi from him, "You shouldn't've told her..." He led
Usagi away and out of the room leaving Kouji there to stare after him.

*************************************************************************************************

'Why was I so angry...?' he asked himself. 'It was for Genro!' a part of him answered.
"No, it was for yourself,' another part corrected. "Shit," he raked his hand through his hair,
"When did life get so &#*^% complicated?" He froze as he saw something on the mirror that made
his blood run cold. He saw the face in the window that he had hoped to never see again. But as
soon as he realized he was staring the owner of the face realized it, too. In a flash of
green hair they were gone from the window in a second and Kouji took off in hot pursuit.

*************************************************************************************************

"Tasuki?" Usagi stared up at him from Tasuki's bed. Her eyes will still red, but she had
ceased to cry.

"Yea?" Tasuki responded from the chair next to his bed.

"Do you think...do you think I really did do...that...?"

"To be honest.." he stared at the ceiling, "I don't think it's in your character. And if
you really did, as long as you didn't mean it, I don't care..."

"Really?" Usagi smiled sweetly, "Tell me about Sakura."

"What? How do you know..." he shook his head, "It doesn't matter." When he saw her pout
and her eyes fill up with tears again, he continued on, "It doesn't matter, but I guess if it'll
make ya feel better. It all started with my initiation to the Mt. Reikaku bandits..."



In the next chapter of Pure Hearts: Well duh! We find out what Sakura and Tasuki's past is!

Hold off your flames about how evil I am until you read chapter 13, please!!!
