A/N: ya know, it really sucks to be an insomniac. It makes school a living hell!!!

Yeah, right now it's three o'clock, Monday morning.

Yeah, it sucks for me doesn't it?

Anyway, I can't sleep

(cuz I have insomnia)

So I figured I might as well get

-something-

done.

So I'm writing this chapter.

Thanks in advance for everyone that reviewed!

Okay, so it's not shounen ai yet.

But remember last chapter?

Well, see I don't know what you people think yet?

So no shounen ai yet!

Sorry for all of you that wanted that.

I'll get right on that if I get enough people saying for me to do it!

TALLY HO MEN!!! (AND WOMEN)

I continued to sit in bed. It was now around six in the morning. I hadn't slept much. But I was fine. No fatigue.

I was just swinging the pendant in my hand. I watched the silver swing past. It was almost hypnotic, the sense that this object gave off.

Like you had to keep touching it. Almost as though it would heal you from the inside out.

My thoughts kept being interrupted by the dream I had had earlier than night. Reisho's words still continued to play awkwardly in my head, over and over.

"Omae o korosu . . ."

I sat up. Jin was still asleep. I slowly got out of bed and left Jin a note on the table beside his bed. It read:

Jin, I've gone out for a little while. I should be back soon. Sayonara. -Touya

I walked out the door and down the hall to the stairs. I tried to be quiet not to wake anyone while I was getting out of the room.

I finally made it outside. The rest of my team seemed to sleep in late. That was fine with me. I liked my alone time.

I walked down a path that I had no idea where it led. But I was sure that I could find my way back. Not like it's that big of an island anyway.

I walked down the path for a while. It was still dark outside but I could see the sky lightening up for the sun to rise in a few hours.

"Chotto matte yo!"

I knew it was Jin, I just didn't know what he wanted from me this time.

"Doshite?"

"Oh, don't be tha' way. I just wanna come with ya."

"Not like I have to slow down for you to catch me."

"Ee."

"Why do you want to come with me? I thought you weren't much of a morning person."

"I'm not. It's just I wanted ta talk ta ya about somethin'."

"Nani?"

"About last night."

"What about last night?"

"Well, what happened to ya? I mean, I'd never seen that necklace before."

"Me either."

"So why'd ya have it?"

"Shirimasen Jin-san. Big fushigi isn't it?"

"Ee. And also, what was is that you dreamed about?"

"Nani mo Jin-san. Just forget about it."

I realize that I said that harsher than I would have liked and I think Jin took it offensively. But you understand right? I just didn't want Jin to know that I was scared of Reisho that much.

"Sumimasen Touya-Kun. Didn't mean ta offend ya 'er nothin'. Just curious."

We continued walking along. I didn't want Jin to be mad at me. I knew he was though. He thought I was mad at him because I snapped at him like that.

But I didn't want to tell him how kowai I was of Reisho. I just wanted to tell him so that he could protect me from him.

I mean, I could protect myself but it's like every time I try it hurts me more than it does Reisho. Like somehow Reisho is making me hurt more.

I don't even know. Besides, Jin would just think I was a big baby if I told him about my dream. He would just laugh at me.

That's the last thing I need in my life. Beatings from Reisho AND Jin laughing at my fears. What a life that would be.

"Gomen nasai Jin-san. Ano . . . "

Should I tell him? I don't know. Why did I have to start the sentence? He would have said something if I didn't. After all he was Jin. He couldn't keep his mouth shut.

Now it seems he's spreading his disease. But I have to tell him anyway. I don't know if I can get the words out.

"Hai?"

"Ano . . . Boku wa . . . kowai . . . "

"Of what?"

"Reisho, demo onegai shimasu, don't tell Reisho!"

"Nani?"

"yurushite kudasai. O-jama shimashita. I shouldn't have told you."

"Iie, mamotte ageru Touya-kun. I promise."

"Iie Jin-san. You don't have to I-"

"I will. Trust me."

" . . . Arigatou gozaimzu Jin-san. Doomo Arigatou. . . "

Jin just continued to smile at me. I didn't understand. I couldn't figure out why I had said that to him either. I was just . . . I don't even know.

We kept walking down the path. It began to get warmer out and the sky brightened for the coming of morning. Jin seemed perfectly content in the early morning.

Usually he's a tired yourou in the morning, but he seemed fine with me. We kept walking.

Finally we made it to the end of the path and a cliff. The cliff gave a great view over the beach.

"Sugoi, that's pretty."

I couldn't say anything back to that. Jin didn't seem to mind. We just stared out over the cliff for a moment. Then I heard a few rocks shift.

Jin just seemed to ignore it.

I turned around.

Nobody was there.

I was getting kind of weirded out by this. It just didn't seem . . . normal. I don't know what it was but it didn't seem normal.

I looked down to the ground.

Nothing there, just dirt.

I looked back out onto the beach.

Nothing out of the ordinary.

Just sand.

I walked closer to the edge of the cliff and Jin just watched me. But then he turned back to watching the ocean and looking over the island.

I walked closer to the cliff. I was beginning to get weary of being so close to the edge at such a height. If I fell that would be the end of me.

I edged even closer to the cliff. I had this feeling that I needed to look down it. It almost felt like I was being sucked towards the edge of it.

I was being as careful as I could. I peered over the edge of the cliff. Jin didn't seem to be paying much attention to anything at that moment.

Suddenly something grabbed the front of my shirt and then I found myself falling. Just as I was in my dream. I closed my eyes.

Dark. Just like in the dream.

What came next in that dream?

I couldn't remember properly.

I opened my eyes to be acquainted with two cloudy sky blue ones. I didn't hear anything except the rushing of air through my ears.

I didn't even know I was falling till I saw it. My guess was that I had been pulled off. No sounds. Jin probably didn't even know it.

The dream flashed through my head. I remembered those cloudy eyes. I remember them. A short cry escaped my lips as I continued to fall.

I wonder how long I will fall before I hit the ground. I watched as two baby pink wings were unfolded with care and felt two smooth soft arms wrap around me.

I closed my eyes. I was afraid again. I was going to die. With this odd dream. Was this another dream?

Her wings didn't seem comforting anymore. They seemed more holding, like they were stopping me as opposed to protecting.

I bit my lip hard. I felt it bleed. I tasted the blood in my mouth.

It was real.

What happened to me falling? I wasn't falling anymore. I don't know why. But I wasn't. I'm too scared to open my eyes. Where's Jin?

He said that he would protect me. He promised. I could feel wind blowing by me, through my hair. Maybe Jin had caught me?

Then what had happened to those two, perfect eyes? Those two eyes that seemed to haunt my vision.

I slowly opened my eyes. I was once again met by those same eyes.

They peered at me through locks of wavy black hair. I watched with fear as two long slight wings hurled us upward, away from the rocks.

I shivered. I didn't like those eyes. They seemed to be looking into me. Not at me. It seems like eyes are supposed to peer at your face, examine, and remember that.

These eyes were different, they peered straight through you, into your soul, finding, and resurfacing what was to be lost.

I didn't like them. They scared me. Where was Jin? I couldn't seem to move. Although I felt two arms wrapped around me. One behind my shoulder blades and one on the small of my back. If those two strong hands were to let go I would fall.

She wouldn't look away from me. We just kept going up. Finally we were up, I couldn't hardly breathe. The woman seemed to be quite content. The air was so thin it seemed not to be air at all.

I gasped for air, but it didn't help. The woman just seemed to ignore it. I continued to breathe in deeply to no avail at getting the oxygen that I needed.

"Dare-wa desu ka?"

(A/N: I hope I said that right! I totally forgot how.)

The words barely flowed out of my mouth. It seemed like they were being pushed away from me. Dragging my consciousness with them.

"Babs desu. onamae-wa?"

Her voice was soft and cool. Not unlike my own voice. Her own voice seemed to flow like velvet through her rose lips.

"Touya desu."

"Ah, Touya-san. I know you."

"And I you."

"Are you kowai of me?"

"Ii- iie."

"Usotsuki."

"Iie!"

I could see everything spinning around me. I could no longer keep my eyes fully open. Where was Jin? I needed his help.

She continued to stare to me.

"It's nice up here ne?"

"I- I can't breathe."

"You can't? Well, we'll just have to take you back down then."

I stared at her for a moment with weary eyes. Then I felt her grip on me falter. I slid down a few inches.

"Iie! Yamero!"

"Nani? I can't hear you Touya-san."

"YAMERO!"

I shouted at her with all the breath I had left. She seemed to understand. I felt her let her wings slow down. We drifted down until we were just above the cloud line.

"Where is the necklace?"

"Nani necklace?"

"The necklace!"

"Wakarimasen."

"Usotsuki! You have it! I need it! Give it to me!"

"Iie."

I continued to reject her. She kept dropping me lower and lower. Finally I was just holding onto her hand.

"Now, tell me or you will fall."

"What do you want it for?"

"That's none of your concern. Now tell me where it is!"

"Iie."

"Boke. Jigoku ochiru."

I felt my hand slip from Babs's grip. She seemed very sad that she had to let me go. And once again I was falling. But I didn't shout this time.

I just fell. Then I heard someone say something. And it wasn't Babs.

"Ikuyo!"

I felt myself stop. I opened my eyes to see Jin staring back at me. I felt so relieved.

I looked up to Babs who seemed to be infuriated. What was she going to do?

A/N: oh my god, I am so tired. But I can't fall to sleep damn it!

Wow, there goes the grammar.

Anyway, R&R, which might make me feel better. And sleep!

Oh and this is the last chapter that I'm going without shounen ai.

But remember!

I'm not doing lemon or lime or anything!

Sorry! I don't know or care to learn how to write those!

Ja mata tomodachi!
