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.

Chapter Six: Waking

: Hakuoh's POV /

One of her hands is still in my hair. The other is on my shoulder.

I open my eyes.

Kitami is leaning over me. I can tell only because her hear falls on my face.

I close my eyes again and shudder.

"Hakuoh?" Kitami whispers. So, she's awake too.

"Hmm?" I answer softly.

"I have to move now, ok?"

I nod weakly.

"Good." She says, lifting my head and gently setting it on a rock. She walks away and comes back to sit next to me. My eyes have adjusted slightly, so I can see her sillhoute.

"You should drink something." she says. "Can you sit up?"

I nod and sit up.

"Good." She presses something into my hands. "Drink this. It's water from the stream."

I lift the cup to my lips. (Hakuoh: By the way, Kit, where ever did you find a cup? We were trapped in a cave. Kitami: I had it in my purse. Rekuda: Is it even legal to interrupt your own POV. Hakuoh: I don't care. Now be quiet so I can continue.)

"How do you feel?" she asks.

"Better." I say honestly, when I've finish drinking. I set the cup down. "Thank you."

"You're welcome." She pauses. "May I check your wound?"

"I. . .suppose." I say warily.

She moves my hair over one shoulder.

: Kitami's POV /

"I don't see any bad cuts. A couple of little scrapes is all. You should be fine." I say.

He nods.

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

I can't help myself. I run my fingers down the sides of his neck. He trembles, but doesn't pull away.

"You really should relax." I murmur gently.

Now he does pull away, and stands, albeit shakily.

"I'm sorry." I say quickly.

"Are you. . .are you afraid of the dark, Hakuoh?"
