Warning: My friend gave me this idea.

Huh, oh it's all about Takao's special person. And sorry about my chibi Takao. I love him!

--------------------------------

My special person

Normal Pov

"What would it be like to fly?"

Takao sat there at the edge of the cliff. His midnight hair breezed with the wind. His eyes lowered peacefully.

"To not care?"

There seagulls squawking and now the sun was setting. Takao was basked in the warmth.

"I don't want to lose. I don't want to win. I just want to live."

"Nice view,Kinomiya." Takao was startled but he did not look behind. Kai leaned against the tree behind Takao.

Takao nodded and continued to stare at the setting sun. Kai looked up and stared at it too.

Takao was shivering insanely because of the cold but he shook his head.

"You're stupid, Kinomiya. You should have known it was going to get cold." Takao blushed as he felt Kai's scarf wrapped around his neck but by now Kai has already returned to his original position.

"Kai..."

"Hn."

"You know so much about me but.."

"I know nothing of you, Kino-"

"No, you do! You know the way I feel. The way I act. The reasons for all the childish things I've done. You know my weakness and my strength and.." Takao fidgetted with his hands.

"I know nothing about you.."

"You do know..."

Takao looked up in surprise but he still faced the sea.

"You know how I behave. Why I behave. You even know it's because of my grandfather."

Takao shook his head.

"That's not it. I want to know the way you..feel.." Kai cocked an eyebrow and stare at Takao's back.

"Why do you want to know?"

"Because I care for you. Because I want to be there..Because I...Because...Because..I..."

Kai grunted and pushed himself of the tree. The seagulls stop squawking and the crickets and frogs seem to understand the silence.

"See no one's ever interested...No one even cares." Kai sneered. Showing his anger, he clenched his fists. Takao stiffened, he never heard Kai this angry before.

Takao turned now and clenched fistfuls of grass in his hands.

"It's not true..It's not...I..care..." Kai shooked his head, he didn't want to hear what Takao was trying to say.

"I'm just another member in the team. You're all just using me." Kai lashed out.

Takao shook his head. "No..It's not...It's..not.."

"Max, Rei, Hilary, Tala. Boris. Everyone." Kai spat.

"I'm just a toy. Someone you can use for awhile. Then later I'll be thrown away."

Tears fell out of Takao's eyes, unconsciously.

"No you're not. You're my friend. You won't be thrown away. You won't." Tears were cascading down Takao's angelic face as he walked towards Kai.

Kai winced. He doesn't like seeing Takao cry.

"Takao.." Kai's eyes softened as he wrapped his arms around Takao's waist. " I care for you too, you know."

"Kai.." Takao buried his head in Kai's chest and cuddled. "You know me alot... I thought that you were stubborn,irritating, annoying, a sourpuss , a fun-sucker." Takao chuckled. He looked up and traced Kai's features with the tips of his finger. Takao let out a small sob again.

"Then I found out you had a mask. " Kai stiffened.

"You always wore it. But even with it. You helped me grow stronger. You helped me through alot of things. You were there for me. I wanted you to go away at first. You're always making fun of me.I wanted you to just go away..."

Takao pushed Kai gently so he's only support for not falling behind was Kai's hand. He looked up at Kai.

"Then I found out, some things about your past. And the reason why you act the way you do."

"Then I found out that I couldn't live without you."

Kai's eyes widened in surprise but then Takao's eyes held shock for his own words.

"Takao-chan come here." A childish giggle was heard then a little boy emerged.

"Taka here, kaa-san." Yuki Kinomiya smiled and picked up her five year old child. The little chibi was seated on her lap and was facing her. Those big sapphire eyes stared at her in wonder.

"Kaa-san, Taka here?." Takao's mother snapped out of her own thoughts.

"Taka-chan, do you believe in a special person?"

Takao smiled and nodded.

"Kaa-san onii-san of course!" Takao beamed.

"No Taka-chan. Someone special. Important to you. That you will love for the rest of your life."

Takao blinked up at his mother, confused.

"But kaa-san, Taka loves kaa-san!"

His mother shook her head. Her midnight hair tickling Takao, making him laugh.

"Taka-chan, the speical person will be with you forever love you forever.."

Takao was more confuse than ever.

"Kaa-san will be there for Taka, right?"

A harsh cough emitted from Yuki's mouth. Her sapphire eyes darkened.

"I hope so my angel."

My special person...

Takao thought he looked up at Kai and dried his own tears. A gasp was heard from Kai as Takao wrapped his arms around Kai's neck.

My special person...

Yuki Kinomiya lied there in the hospital her cancer taking over her.

A nurse came in.

"I'm sorry, Mr Kinomiya. But I need you to sign me some forms."

Takao's father and brother went out with the nurse.

Little Takao's head popped out and looked at his mother with sad eyes.

"kaa-san, You not sick, right? Papa gona bring you back home right?"

The six year old was fighting back his tears. Yuki turned her head to face her child.

"I don't know, baby. I don't know..."

A small tear escaped from his eye. He took hold of his mother hands and held it to his cheek.

"Kaa-san, You're my special person. You can't leave me."

Yuki shook her head and smiled at her little child.

"You've grown so much, Takao. But you have to understand I won't be there for you. You're special person will be there for you one day, waiting. Promise me you'd find that person, please?"

Takao stared at her mother and nodded.

"Thank you, my angel." Takao gripped her mother's hand tight as she took her last breath. Her lifeless eyes closed and a smile was plastered on her face.

"I promise, kaa-san. I promise..."

The tears fell.

He found himself crying when he blinked back the tears he saw Kai. A concern look was on Kai's face.

"Don't cry." Then he found himself being pulled into the embrace by Kai.

"I don't like it when you cry."

Takao's eyes widened in surprise.

"You...You-...don't?"

Kai cocked an eyebrow at him.

"I'm not sadistic, you know."

Takao let out a chuckle but then he stopped and blushed. He looked down at the hands which were now on his waist. Kai looked down and blushed too. He let go of Takao in a flash.

"Look Takao. I'm sorry about just now."

Takao shook his head furiously.

"It's not your fault, I shouldn't have asked a personal question." A curious gaze was fixed on Takao.

"Do you really want to know, I can tell -" He was stopped as a finger was placed on his lips.

Takao looked up at him and smiled.

"No you don't have to tell me if you don't feel like it."

Then Takao fidgetted with his feets, looking at the ground.

"And about just now. I don't want you to..go. I don't want you to leave me alone. You're not some toy to be thrown away. You're a human being."

"You won't be alone. You have Rei, Max, Hilary and everyone."

Takao shook his head and placed his petite hand on Kai's arm.

"They won't be there forever, Kai. But you'll be there for me. I know it."

Kai blushed .

"I know it becuase. You're my special person and I love you."

Kai's uncertain crimson eyes stared into Takao twin sapphire pools.

Takao took the silence as rejection and he tried to run away but Kai caught his wrists and pulled him into a warm embrace.

"Ka-KaI.."

"I love you too, Takao. I always have." Takao blushed and tiptoed.

Their lips met for a moment. When they broke apart...

"Thank you, Kai."

"Hn, You don't need to thank me. I love you for.." Kai looked down at Takao. Those sapphire eyes that always pulled him in, somehow.

"For being you." It was a whisper but Takao heard it anyway.

Kai knew it. He had always love Takao. For being there for him. For taking care of him. For even crying for him.

For being cute.

For being sweet.

For taking away my pain.

For telling me to stand up when I fall.

I never want to hurt you.

I never want to see you hurt.

I'll protect you forever.

I'll never leave your side.

I'll love you forever.

Yin..

Yang..

I'll never let you go.

He held Takao. And burried himself in Takao's silky midnight hair smelling the sweet scent of lavender.

"Kaa-san, I kept my promise." Takao whispered.

Kai looked down at him curiously.

He tiptoed and gave Kai an Eskimo kiss. Kai blushed.

"Don't worry, koi. I'm giving my thanks to my mom."

Kai kept his questioning gaze on Takao.

Takao shook his head.

"For giving me you. My special person."
