A/N: Well I never would have guessed it but sometimes I even manage to surprise myself. So, here is an update for your reading pleasure. I will try to continue this story but as of recently I have not enjoyed what I have written. That does not mean that I will not finish the fic, it just means that it might take longer than expected. Never fear though, I do know what will happen in the upcoming chapters. For the time being, I hope that you enjoy this next installment. A big thank you to my reviewers of the previous chapter and to:

Chibi-y4kuza and to quynh le for the wonderful e-mail that was sent to me.

So, enjoy!

As I slowly wake up I start to feel a burning sensation on my face. I open my eyes and see that I had forgotten to close my blinds before we went to sleep last night. Its cheerful rays are what is shining upon my face and giving me this not so wonderful feeling. I gently sit up as to not wake the sleeping figure next to me. The thought that he really is next to me and everything that had happened last night was not a dream makes me look at his sleeping face and smile. However, the warm feeling that I get when I look at him cannot last forever. The doorbell rings. What bad timing.

I quickly get out of Fuuma's grasp in such a way as to not wake him. He needs to sleep. He really did seem tired last night. I take a quick look in the mirror and fix my hair before I go running down the stairs to answer the door. A half smiling face greets me.

Lo and behold, once again it is Subaru.

"Good morning, Kamui."

"Good morning….?"

Why is Subaru here? I'm confused as always.

"Sleep well?"

"Yes….thank you. You?"

"Yes."

I clear my throat. Subaru blinks.

"Why are you here so early, Subaru?"

"It's not that early, Kamui."

He pauses.

"We did agree that I would come back today so that we can finish straightening things out. Unless…." Subaru continues.

"-Unless what?" I ask, bewildered.

"Unless….something went wrong after I left yesterday and your guest already left."

"He's sleeping."

"That's good to hear. But, perhaps it's time to go wake sleeping beauty. We need to be somewhere soon…."

I frown.

"What have you done, Subaru?"

A guilty look creeps out upon Subaru's face. A horrifying feeling starts to take over me. I can just guess what he's going to say next. The name Aiden comes to mind.

The feeling starts to increase.

"It wasn't my idea, but I do agree with it. The sooner you get the confrontation over with the sooner things can get back to routine."

I pause. An idea strikes my mind.

Perhaps, just perhaps, I can go and come back before Fuuma awakens. That way if something goes wrong I'm already gone. As bad as this idea is it just may work. I smile slightly. Sometimes I amuse myself, who knew I could be so dark? I inwardly laugh for a moment and then the laughter resides.

I open the door and let Subaru in.

"Would you like anything to eat or drink?"

"No, thank you. I've already eaten. Have you?"

"No….I kind of just woke up because of you at the door."

"Ah, and that explains why sleeping beauty is still asleep. Why don't you go change and wake him and I can make you something. Or better yet, you can get something to eat when we get there."

I nod.

"Make yourself comfortable….I'll be right back down."

Subaru nods and as I walk up the stairs, I take a look back down and see that he's taken to sitting down on the couch. A tired look upon his face. I hope he's okay.

I make my way to my room and find Fuuma still asleep. Looking as cute and innocent as ever. I grin. I don't think I could ever tell him that to his face. But, I can say it to myself. He'll never need to know.

I tear my gaze from Fuuma's face knowing that if I don't now I wont be able to go on with my plan. Something inside me tells me that it needs to happen.

As soundlessly as possible I rummage through my clothing and change. Every now and then looking back to check if Fuuma is still asleep. Unbeknownst to me, he never was.

Once done getting dressed I take one last look at Fuuma's sleeping face and creep just as quietly as I came into the room out of it. I shut the door behind me hoping it will prevent anything from being heard from downstairs or at least the front door opening and closing. I've been so careful. The last thing I need is for him to awaken just as I'm walking out. If that happens, talk about spoiling a plan. I shake my head trying to get rid of my nervous thoughts. For a moment I slightly shake. Then all is gone and I'm fine.

…..Hopefully….

Downstairs Subaru is sitting silently waiting for me. His face unreadable….however, for a moment it changes to something and then goes back to normal except with a small smile gracing his lips. He knows I'm standing here. He gets up and without a word walks to the door. I follow behind him. He opens it and steps outside. I pause then follow behind him, making sure to the lock the door as quickly as possible.

If I had been any slower I might have seen Fuuma walking down the stairs.

We stand there for a moment, both trying to find the right words for what we want to say. I find them first.

"So, where are we to go?"

"I told Aiden that we would meet him at the cafe-" Subaru pauses to look at his watch- "about 5 minutes ago."

I frown again. I may not be the most punctual person in the world but if someone takes the time to sit and wait, no matter whom it is, I can at least show up on time.

"I guess we should get going…."

Subaru nods in agreement and we walk in what I can only describe as uncomfortable silence all the way to the cafe. With Fuuma lurking behind us in the shadows at a safe distance.

As we get to the outside of the cafe where there is nice navy patio furniture scattered around, sitting at a table with an oddly coloured mustard yellow umbrella is Aiden. Looking well looking as he usually looks and of course having his face light up at seeing me. Somehow even with the context of all of this that still flatters me.

Taking a breath and seeing that Subaru takes one too we sit down at the table and the three of us stare at each other silently daring the other to speak first. Aiden looses.

"Thank you for coming. Especially you, Kamui. I know this is hard for both of you, but we need some time alone to speak. With no interruptions."

I don't like how he says my name or the world alone. What have I gotten myself into?

I clear my throat. "Well, what is it that you have to say?"

In my opinion I think that by making myself seem stable or at least un nerved by all of this, this will take Aiden by surprise and end all of this sooner than expected.

"I care for you," Aiden says bluntly.

Neither Subaru nor I say anything and wait for him to continue.

"I also know that you do know who I am and our history. Now continue to say nothing and let me finish what I have to say-"

"-This has been hard for both of us, I know that. However, after having spent some time with you and having seen how it lifted both our spirits I have come up with a temporary solution for the both of us."

I look over to Subaru and see that his face has hardened considerably. He looks like he's ready to pounce. I speak.

"I-I'm listening…."

Aiden smiles at me and continues.

"What if for a day, one day, we would spend it together. Now after the day was through and you did not enjoy being with me you can leave and I will go back home. I will not bother you again after it."

I pause to think. If I only have to endure one day with him to get him off all our backs, especially Fuuma's than what harm can be done?

I give my best glare and speak.

"If I was to agree with this, there would have to be conditions…"

Aiden nods.

"Of course. I would not in any way touch you if you do not permit me to and I will not pressure you in anything. Conversation style or otherwise."

I nod back and take a look at Subaru again. He looks like he wants to say something and I make my decision before he can.

"Okay, Aiden. You win, I'll spend a day with you."

A sly smile creeps up onto Aiden's lips.

"Excellent. Since we're already together at the moment, today can be the day."

I nod. Surely Subaru will tell Fuuma some sort of little white lie and I'll be able to do this with out him worrying as to where I am. However Subaru himself interrupts my thoughts.

"Kamui-no! You can't do this."

"It's okay. Just tell Fuuma that I needed to deal with….well something and that I'll be back tonight. Don't worry, it will be okay," I say as I try to calm him down.

Aiden practically grins at me and Subaru is seething.

" It is not okay. Kamui, don't do this."

We all pause as we hear a loud, "NO!" in the background. I turn around to see who said that, as do Aiden and Subaru. Standing behind us looking like he is about to murder all three of us is Fuuma. He gives me a horrible look as he speaks.

"Subaru is right, you wont do this."

Subaru gasps and Aiden gets the same look as Fuuma upon his face. I get another idea. If Fuuma thinks that I am still mad at him he will back down.

"You're wrong. I will do this, happily, too."
