Duel Masters: Seven Days

Chapter Two: "Oh, great, a rockslide."
: Kitami's POV /
I look around worriedly.
A large rock just randomly fell onto Hakuoh's head, completely ruining our conversation, and rendering him unconscious.
Well, I uess it wasn't completely random. I can see a large amount of rocks coming towards us. Oh, great, a rockslide.
I look down at Hakuoh's unconscious form. He looks like he's asleep. I really wasn't kidding when I told him he was beautiful.
Ok, Kit, so not the time.
I kneel beside him and sigh. There's no way I'm going to be able to wake him up fast enough.
As gently as I can, I lift him into my arms, cradling him like a baby. I'm amazed at how light he is.
I begin to run, holding him close to me so he won't be hit by debris. That doesn't hlep much. We're both pelted with smaller rocks as I duk inot a smaller passageway.
The passage is sealed up beside us, but at least we're safe. I stumble a bit as I slow down, under both of our weight, and finally stop.
I set Hakuoh down gently, making sure his head is supported with a flt rock. I make sure he's ok before I look around.
The cavern we're in is generally circular. There's only one entrance, and that's sealed. A tiny underground streams runs through the center of the room, but it appears to stop and start at a wall. I'm thankful for the stream, though. That means water and possibly fish. Which means we shouldn't starve.
I nod and walk back over to Hakuoh.
He looks so peaceful, lying there. I kneel beside him and touch his forehead. He's warm, but not dangerously so. I let my hand move down the side of his face.
For a second, I half-consider kissing him while he sleeps, but I decide against it. (Mimi: under her breath I wouldn't have. Hakuoh and Kitami: Excuse me? Mimi: embarassed Never mind. Please continue.) I run my hand through one of his shorter, loose locks of hair.
I pull away, though, when he's eyelids begin to flutter.

"No need to be ashamed, Hakuoh. I chose to look like this for you."
