A/N: Hey!! I'm back! I'm so sorry for not updating recently. I was grounded for 1 week! Stupid rules! The computer was well-guarded and I couldn't sneak up! Anyway, I was, as usual, disappointed again, for having only one review! Thank you Shinigami014! You deserve to have a boldfaced name!!

Disclaimers applied. I can't believe I forgot to mention the disclaimers the last time!! God! I'm so darn stupid!! Imagine, not putting the disclaimer! What, claiming the awesome Touya and Yukito?! Never! Damn! I swear! I didn't plan to forget it!! Believe me! I didn't!

Disregard the moronic mistake... On with the story! Oh, wait. The recap. Well, on with the recap! ... Then the story!! Ya! Go!

Recap

"Yuki..." Touya felt his throat run dry, he coughed to clear his throat then continued, "That thing that I want say... that is always stopped... prevented and everything..."

"Yes?"

"Yuki... Uh... I... Uh... Yuki I..." Dammit! Here I go again!

"THERE YOU ARE!" a familiar man loudly boomed breaking up the silence.

Chapter 3

For My 'Best friend'


"What the-?!" Great... And as usual here goes the I ever say it to you, Yuki? Could I?

The special confession of Touya's heart was somehow cut...

Again...

As always...

Whenever I try to say it!!!

GODDAMMIT!!! Why?!?!

Touya couldn't help but stand in fury for the disruption of their 'special' conversation. Yukito suddenly stood instantly recognizing the man as Shido Nobunaga, the one that challenged Touya the other night. Touya became serious also recognizing his opponent and moved slightly in front of Yukito, his posture essentially protecting his small friend.

"You..." Touya finally managed to speak after gathering his composure.

"Me." Shido sarcastically said, gesturing the men behind the trees to step forward then continued, "Them."

"So, you didn't learn your lesson, did you?" Touya asked daringly after being shocked seeing Shido's gigantic followers.

"Guess not." Shido replied coolly. "Anyway, I have some presents for you two. It's just a simple gift, you know..." Then he arrogantly continued, "I proudly present my 'new' members..." four huge men with bold features began to stand firmly as if they wanted to form a human wall, "...just a simple gift, right? They will continue my 'unfinished business', if ever you're curious..."

"Look... We don't have to fight here..." Yukito said trying his best to avoid a conflict.

Yukito flinched as Shido laughed insultingly and said, "So... Still the 'pacifist', are we?"

"What do you want?" Touya asked impatiently.

"Nothing much. Really. I just want to Continue My Unfinished Business." Shido replied putting stresses into his every word. "And with my new members, I am capable to do so."

"You want to fight, then. Just tell me, I'm call." Touya said composedly.

"To-ya! Stop it! Don't do this..." Yukito whispered behind Touya's back.

"It's alright, Yuki. Just stay there. Don't move, okay?" Touya whispered back.

"Consider, my new members are not the old ones that were 'very, very' weak. They are now strong, as seen." Shido complimented conceitedly. "So, don't boast that you can fight on your own Kinomoto. They are no weaklings, I say..."

"Oh, shut up!" Touya boldly said. "Are you gonna talk there all day?! Let's get this over with!"

"As you wish..." Shido said as he mentioned his men to attack Touya. "Men!"

Two men struggled forward; Touya fought but found it hard when after battling the two, another pair came forward. Yukito just stared terrified, however, Shido just laughed contentedly.

Touya fought impressively but he was just over numbered. He was fighting four men simultaneously that he didn't noticed Shido sneaking at his back planning to push him off the cliff.

But Yukito did.

He ran to help his friend but Shido already pushed him off. Fortunately, he grabbed Touya's right wrist with his left hand in time. He laid on his front just to catch To-ya's arm.

"To-ya! Are you alright?"

"Yuki! I'm fine... Thanks."

Yukito was about to pull Touya up the cliff when Shido's men surrounded him. It could have been easy to pull Touya but one man suddenly stepped on his back heavily, obliging him to stay on the ground. He could feel the cold land under his body.

"No!" Touya shouted from below. "Don't touch him, I'm warning you! I'm gonna kill you!"

Shido and his men ignored Touya and just laughed mockingly.

"You're gonna kill us, you say? Poor man..." Shido said disdainfully.

"Please! Do whatever you want, just let me pull To-ya up. He won't survive if he falls! Please..." Yukito begged desperately.

His plea was ignored and worse, when three other men stepped on his bended right elbow and his outstretched feet, squeezing them against the dirty ground, causing him pain all over his body. Now, he couldn't move any of his limbs because of pain and the pressure itself.

Now that Yukito couldn't budge, Shido found it easy to have his revenge on the pair. He clutched some of Yukito's silvery hair forcing the pale man to turn his head right in front of Nobunaga's wicked eyes.

"Now, now, don't be sad..." Shido said in a mocking voice then continued, "just let go of him, and I won't do anything to you, promise..."

"No! Never!" Yukito protested resolutely.

Shido signaled his members something that only they could understand. The four men wickedly smiled then stepped off Yukito's body.

Touya thought that the team captain's heart softened. But he was wrong... So wrong...

The two pairs suddenly began kicking Yukito's gut for what looked like a long ten minutes.

But the resolute man didn't let go of his friend, but instead, he gripped his friend's wrist more tighter.

"I... won't... let go..."

Yukito slightly coughed and a line of blood began trickling down his mouth.

Tastes like iron...

"Don't be stubborn here, Tsukishiro. Just let go of him..." Shido persuaded half impatiently.

So this is blood...

"Yuki! Yuki! Listen to him! Let go of me! Now!"

"To-ya? What are you... saying?! I won't... do that! Just... hold on... okay?" Yukito said laboriously.

I believe this is the first time I've tasted blood...

"Listen to your friend, Tsukishiro. Or you would regret it! JUST LET GO OF HIM!!!" Shido impatiently ordered.

"Never!"

I must hold on...

Nobunaga won't take his defeat easily... Instead, from his pocket, he took a small dagger, about 10 centimeters of razor-sharp blade and about 8 centimeters of leather handle. Then he burst out a wild laugh... a laugh that a predator would have done after capturing its prey.

"What will you do to him?! I said don't touch him!!!" Touya raged helplessly.
