You know knowing that I can write like this is scary. Especially since I'm writing a horror novel (hence the I'm having trouble transitioning between writing the lovey, dovey and scary stuff) I'm gonna have to put in a major sappy scene into the end of Ice Queen.

Though I hope this chapter is cute enough you will forgive me for taking so long on updating. I've been buisy on a science project and to be honest the only time I find to work on Ice Queen lately is my lunch break at work. Gomen!

I'm really happy that someone realized that I was planning on pairing Touya and Tatsuha together... probably... Thank you I squealed over that review going "Oh my gosh... oh my gosh..." Though it's probably pretty obvious I was planning on doing something like that, but still.

Chapter 26: Green Eggs and Ham
How did things end up this way! Tatsuya stared in disgust as Ryuichi pushed Narumi around in the wheelchair. Ryuichi was playfully turning this way and that as he was running down the hallways, and in general just having a great time.

Narumi looked like she was having fun but it also looked like she was turning a little green.

Good!

Maybe if she was sick then... then... Damn that Touya for giving Ryuichi permission to... to... For crying out loud it was his own sister that he said Ryuichi could... could...

Ack! Not his Ryuichi-kun! His poor innocent, talented, extremely hot Ryu-chan!

"Well, that's an interested expression on you're face." Touya laughed. "Looks to me like you ate a bad egg!"

"Oh, shut up! You would never understand, besides it's all you're fault anyway!"

"All my fault? Oh I see... you were having dirty little thoughts about Ryuichi-kun. Pervert."

'Well,' Touya thought, 'at least he could get some fun out of this whole mess. Things at least wouldn't fail to be interesting, and it was fun picking on Tatsuha-san. Still with this mess... he wondered if they would be able to deal with it. He wondered if any of them were really prepared to deal with it.'

He knew that Ryuichi would be there regardless, he acted like a big kid but there was also a hidden strength there. Tatsuha on the other hand was a complete enigma for him.

"Hey, Ryu-chan! She's going to get sick, if you keep spinning her in circles like that! Hey, Ryu-cha!"

Tatsuha stared angrily at Touya as he ran to stop Ryuichi from making Narumi sick with dizziness. How dare he call him a pervert! So what if he was just a little obsessive about Ryuichi. Ryuichi was... was... beautiful. His voice was beyond amazing, and his smile...

Damn that Touya for getting in his way. It's not like he was some great prize like Ryuichi was! Touya was nothing compared to him. Just a two-bit punk that liked to get in his way... one that oddly enough reminded him of... what was his name... from Legal Drug... not Kazahaya...

Tatsuha could feel a slight blush beginning to stain his cheeks, before shaking it off. That stupid Touya was nothing like that cutie! This guy was a total idiot

It took the better part of two hours before everything could be situated and they could take Narumi back to her bunny free home. Well except for Kuma of course.

Narumi brushed off any attempts made to help her out of the taxi and insisted on going into the house on her own two legs. Ryuichi and Touya watched after her. They were both worried that she would fall or hurt herself in someway. The image of her lying frailly on the hospital bed was still firmly ingrained in both of their brains.

Tatsuha was just irritated.

Stupid woman.

"Why don't you just leave her alone? She said she's fine so she's fine!"

"Thank you that is the first intelligent thing I've heard coming from you. Mr. Bunny Thief."

"Quit calling me that! It was all just a huge misunderstanding anyway, so stop it!" Tatsuha seethed in embarrassment. This was so NOT funny!

"I'll think about it. What is you're name anyway?"

"Gees, you're such a pain in the..."

"This is Uesugi Tatsuha." Ryuichi piped in. He's Yuki's brother!"

"Yuki?"

"Yuki Eiri, the novelist."

"Oh... who is that exactly?"

"He writes Romance novels. Come on sis we'd better get you inside, I don't want to risk you're health."

Shoot! He was hoping she would start fan girling his brother and leave Ryuichi all to himself!

"So what about you know who?"

Even Tatsuha could hear Ryuichi's voice from outside asking that question and everyone fell silent. They were all nervous to hear the answer to that question. Only Tatsuha hoped she would run again.

"It might be better if I didn't stay, but... even if I run again he still might find me again. I'm scared but if I run now it would be just like... what happened... I mean... but I don't want to put you... in danger..."

Tears were streaming down her face and she tried desperately to hide them. They didn't need a sobbing female on their hands and this really was her cross to carry.

"Ryu-chan it might be better if you moved in with Tatsuha for awhile. If you stay here..."

Tatsuha liked that idea but he already knew what the answer was going to be...

"I'm staying! You are NOT throwing me out of the house. I'm not going to abandon you, like... like... well I'm not going to do it, and you can't make me! You are not going to stay here and be a target by yourself. You'll be safer if we are all here. Tatsuha go home and get you're things you can sleep on the couch with Touya. We're staying!"

"But..."

"Don't worry about, where I'll sleep, Narumi. You need a bodyguard I'll sleep with you. It's not like we having shared a bed already! Besides Kuma likes sleeping next to you."

Tatsuha couldn't even hear any more a pounding sensation was beating through the roof of his skull and quickly turning into a migraine. This was BAD!
