Seven Days

by Tate Icasa

This is a Hakuoh x OC pairing. Basically, half a year after season two ends, Hakuoh and Kitami get trapped in a rockslide. NOT a lemon. However, the Lemony companion piece, 'And on the Seventh Day', is posted.

(A/n1: I just realized that I posted this whole things without a disclaimer. Me no own. There. If I did own them. . .well, I wouldn't be writing fanfic. . .)

(A/n2: Me no own the song either. Is 'A Cradel Song' by Lord Alfred Tennyson. . .I simply changed it from a girl to a boy.)

Chapter Five: Lullabye

: Kitami's POV /

I look down at him worriedly. He's so pale.

I can't help but feel a little bit guilty. If I hadn't lured him into the cae he wouldn't be injured.

I sigh, and unconsciously begin stroking his hair. (Hakuoh: raises eyebrow Unconsciously? Kitami: blushes Well, maybe not completely unconsciously. . . Knight: And you two yell at me for interrupting the story? Mimi: Shut up, Knight! Knight: shrugs)

I honestly never meant for this to happen.

I nearn over so that my hair is hanging across my face and I'm looking down at him.

He mumbles something feverishly.

"Oh, you poor thing. . ." I whisper. "Sleep."

He doesn't flinch away when I run my hand across his cheek.

I startle myself by beginning to sing an old lullabye I heard once.

"What does little birdie say,

In his nest at peep of day?

Let me fly, says little birdie,

Mother let me fly away.

"Birdie rest a little longer,

Till the little wings are stronger.

So he rest a little longer,

Then he flies away.

"What does little baby say,

In his bed at peep of day?

Baby says, like little birdie,

let me rise and fly away!

"Baby, sleep a little longer,

Till the little limbs are stronger.

If he sleeps a little longer,

Baby too shall fly away."

Hakuoh is asleep by the time I finish the song. I can feel myself slowly drifting off as well.

Preview of Ch. 6:

I shouldn't, I think, I really, really shouldn't.
