Kohaku briskly walks into the house ignoring whatever comments were being spoken outside before running into the bathroom. "Kohaku, open this door and stop acting so childish," Inuyasha snaps but Kohaku only climbs into the tub yelling "Not after what you said." Kohaku wraps his arms around his knees and bites his lower lip as Inuyasha replies "Maybe I shouldn't have said you were only trouble, but I meant it as a joke." Kohaku's eyes darken and he quietly steps out of the tub only to stand before the mirror. "Naraku was right, I am worthless," he says with a sigh.

Souta stares at the door in horror when he hears glass shattering then he turns to the hanyou and grabs his top shaking him as much as he possibly can yelling "Break down that door!" Inuyasha heaves his weight at the door knocking it open and his golden orbs watch Souta run to comfort the slightly bleeding boy. "Go take him downstairs to clean up while I sweep up this mess," Kagome says walking to the small closet where the extra broom sits.

"Why'd you do it? You promised not to pull stunts like this ever again." Kohaku raises tear filled eyes to Souta's and mutters "I'm sorry." Souta rinses the cloth and snaps "I'm so sick of you constanly apologizing for your stupid actions. If you don't love me then tell me." Kohaku lowers his head like a defeated puppy theb mumbles "I'll never be good enough for you. I'm a mess, I am not even worth your efforts." Kohaku stares in suprise when the younger boy pulls him upstairs and into his room. "What are you planning," he asks when he is pushed gently onto the bed and straddled. "Stay right where you are or you'll regret it," Souta says before jumping off of him and leaving the room.

Souta tugs Kagome into the kitchen and begs "Please leave, take Inuyasha and go back to the feudal era." Kagome notices the lustfull glazed over look in her brother's eyes and the needy, pouty lips. "All right, but be careful. You two are here all alone." Souta grins up at his sister and says " We will," before bounding up the stairs to claim his beloved. Kohaku lays culed up on the bed with dangerously dark eyes as he says " You don't trust me, if you did you'd believe me when I say I love you and I'm sorry." Souta lovingly hugs Kohaku as the boy whimpers against his chest and says "I do believe you, I was wrong to doubt your love. I forget that you are still batteling your own demons and are still fragile." Souta smiles as he removes Kohaku's t-shirtand says "No more questions, just trust me." Kohaku unbuttons Souta's pants as he mummers "I do trust you." Souta ruflfles Kohaku's bangs and releases his hair from the ponytail while keeping his eyes locked on the warmly lit pools of love.

Kohaku lifts his hips so Souta can remove his pants and the youth says "Calm down, honey," as he smooths his hair back. Kohaku arches his back to greet Souta's tongue that's dancing across his hard, pink nipple. " I'll stay even if you say no," Kohaku mummers softly and Souta whispers "Has it ever occured to you that I want to do this with you.You and I love eachother, that's all that matters." Kohaku nods brushing Souta's bangs out of his face but asks "You don't think that we are moving too fast? I just kidnapped you about three days ago." Souta shrugs saying "I said no questions. I don't think that we are moving very fast at all. Turtles move faster than us." He tries to obey Souta's command to stop asking questions but inquires "What if Sango finds out?" Souta sits up and shakes his head saying "This isn't worth it." Kohaku remembers saying something similar to Souta not to long ago for his questions. "I'll be on the couch if you need me," Souta says walking away. He bites his lower lip as he wraps the blanket around his nude form and follows Souta downstairs silently hopeing that he doesn't allert the boy.

"You're mad at me," Kohaku states simply as he watches the boy toss popcorn into his mouth. "No I'm not," Souta says agrivated by Kohaku's presence but Kohaku says "Yes,you are." "No, I'm not." "Yes, you are." "No, I'm not." "Yes, you are, and that's that." Souta rolls his eyes as he snuggles against the pillow and turns over to face the couch. "Kohaku, go get some sleep," he orders as the boy draws even closser to him but Kohaku says "I'm not tired." Kohaku sits on the floor infront of the couch and pulls the blanket even tighter around himself. Souta watches as the boy tries to fight off sleep and begins to run his fingers through Kohaku's thick hair syaing "There's room for one more up here."

Souta awakens to the booming sound of thunder and the brillant flash of lightning. "Kohaku, wake up," he begs shaking the boy on top of him and the boy groggily asks "Huh? What's wrong?" Souta yelps at the next crash of thunder and says "I'm afraid of the storm." Souta whimpers against Kohaku's chest and when the boy sits up pulling him up with him he says "Kohaku, what if the lights go out?" Souta struggles against Kohaku's grip and says "Please Kohaku, what about flashlights?" Kohaku grins and says "We'll find them then I'll show you that there is nothing to be afraid of." Souta shivers as he clutches the blanket around his beloved. "You are insane if you think that I'm going out in that," he says when Kohaku turns on the flashlight just as the lights go out and prepares to go outside. "You'll stay here all alone with this tiny flashlight, and I'm going to check on the shrine door." Souta whimpers as the thunder crashes and the lightning casts errie shadows upon the walls. "Kohaku," Souta yells and running out the door into the storm as the tears flow down his cheeks. Kohaku chetches him in his blanket and wraps his arms around him as he sits down.

Kohaku gently scoots Souta onto his lap so the boy can bury his head agaist his chest. "See, the storm isn't hurting you." Souta raises his tear stained face to Kohaku's and says "You're mean. Do you hate me?" Kohaku shakes his head carrying the boy to the bench in front of the Sacred Tree and says "Now close your eyes and let the rain calm you." Souta shakes his head convinced that Kohaku was doing this to hurt him. "I don't believe you, you hate me." The lightning flashes in Kohaku's eyes revealing an itense anger burning in them as he says "Maybe Hojo is right, maybe you are nothing but an ungrateful, selfish brat." Kohaku shoves Souta off his lap and leaves him staring after him in the rain.

Kohaku pulls on a pair of black jeans and a white t-shirt before running quickly outside. "Where are you going," Souta asks running after the boy and Kohaku says throwing open the shrine door "Where I belong. Where I might find someone that really does love and trust me." Souta grabs ahold of his arm and says "I promised to take care of you and that means not letting you go there alone." Kohaku shoves Souta away and watches him fall onto the floor as Souta yells "Fine, go then. I hope you die." Through his tears Souta sees the stunned look cross Kohaku's face. "I didn't mean it, Kohaku. Please, I'm sorry for hurting you." Kohaku climbs onto the well wall and prepares to jump when the door slams shut. A soft mew echos to his right and Kohaku picks up Buyo carrying him into the house. "Where's Souta," he asks feeling as if something is wrong and the cat jumps to the floor racing up the stairs. Kohaku sucks in a deep breath when he opens the bathroom door. "Souta, no, please be alive," he begs not curious as to how the water worked still even if it was cold. When he lifts the boy up and spots the cuts on his wrist. They don't look very deep but they are bleeding. "Kohaku," the boy mummers weakly as he wraps his wrist with gauze. "You're gonna be okay," Kohaku says drying Souta off with the fluffy, white towel. "Why didn't you let me die?" Kohaku smiles carresing his pale face saying "Because I love you and you never let me die."

Souta lays in his bed fighting the dizziness that washes over him everytime he tries to sit up. "Kohaku," he yells fearing that his beloved may have left him. When Kohaku enters he notices that the wet clothes cling to him and despite the fact that the boy looks devinly delicious Souta says "You need to get into some dry clothes." Kohaku grabs the pj set of black silk and tugs off his t-shirt. Souta stops him from buttoning up the shirt and peels his soaked jeans off of him gently. Souta smiles as the silk clad thighs brush his stomach when the boy straddles him. "Are you still mad at me?" Kohaku grins saying Lets skip my speech and you just call me a liar," and Souta laughs tugging the boy down so he can wrap his arms around him as he whispers "I'd be a liar myself if I called you one. We are equal now."

Kohaku lays down next to Souta and gently strokes his love's hair as he says "My Souta, how are we going to explain this to your mother?" Souta smiles and says "We wont, I'm sorry for making you worry. I had just slit them with a piece of glass that Kagome missed when I heard you entering the house." Souta grns and kisses Kohaku watching the soft blush cross his cheeks. "You want to get to know eachother on a more intimate level?" Kohaku responds by passionatly kissing the boy and forgetting about the worries he had earlier.
