Sankaku
Chapter4- Relief
Where am I? What happened? Is Nataku defeated? Where's Sorata?
Everything's dark. I want to wake up. I want to know what happened. I remember him holding my hand so tight, as if the ground was about to swallow me up. I remember his expression the most. I remember thinking how foriegn that look of panic had shown on his face. I want to see if he's alrite. I don't if it's because I would feel guilty if he was hurt because of me, or if I cared for him.
I open my eyes cautiously. The room is a blinding white and I see the brood shouldered frame of Sorata through my blurry vision. I rub my eyes to see him more clearly.
"Arashi...Arashi I'm here." he chants.
Relief washes over his face and he gives me the best smile he could muster up. I could tell he hasn't slept for days because of his baggy, dark circles under his eyes. I can't help, but smile a little.
"You look awful." I whisper.
He chuckles. It looks like he's getting back to his old self again.
"Yeah, I know. I just wanted to be here when you woke up."
"You should get some rest." I say.
"Later...I want to stay with you just a little longer." he says in a softer tone.
I don't want to ask him about what happened to Nataku at the moment. I will just ask the others later. Right now I just want to enjoy his presence.

The next day I was taken back to the Imonoyama mansion. The cut on my left side from Nataku's lethal ribbon had lessed, but it still hurt to walk. Sorata had been following me like a shadow ever since yesterday. I finnally insisted that he should get some sleep. He reluctantly argeed to my request.
I took this as the perfect opertunity to look for Karen. She had been the one to come after I went unconscious. I walked down the stairs to where Karen was sitting in the kitchen drinking a cup of coffee. She looked up at me with a warm smile.
"Arashi! How are you feeling?" she patted the seat next to her indicating for me to sit down.
"Much better, thank you."
"You know, I've never seen Sorata so distraught in the little time I've known him." she says impling something.
I ignored her impication.
"Actually...That's what I wanted to talk to you about. What happened after I blacked out?"
Karen took a sip of her coffee and unconsciously traced her finger around the rim.
"After your kekkai dissinagrated, Sorata had quickly put up his. I sensed it and came as fast as I could. When I got there, Sorata look like he was going to tear that poor Nataku's head off."
"Poor Nataku?" I interupted.
"Yeah! Didn't you notice? It looked like a lost little child out there; and after Sorata was about to finish it off, it kept on saying 'Daddy, daddy I'm sorry.'"
"Yes I did notice, but it was kind of hard to keep that in my mind considering that it was trying to kill me."
Did I just make a joke? If Sorata was here, he would never let me hear the end of it. Karen chuckled and I blushed.
"That's very true. Anyway, Sorata told me to take you somewhere safe and he powered up so much I thought he was going to burst. He finished Nataku off in one blast and half of Tokyo was practicly dust. Good thing the kekkai had been up to repair it."
"Sorata..."
"He really cares for you, you know."
"Yes...but I wish he didn't"

Daisuke had called soon after asking if I was alright. He was at the Diet Building protecting Hinito as his duty called for. I conversation was short and I have soon to hear his answer about his wish...In the mean time I struggle to answer my own question to him. What is my wish?
AN: Sorry that was such a short chapter ~_~;;; I'll try to get the next up asap!
