All right! Back to writing! Sorry, it's been a while since I updated. Technical Theatre is hell when you have a huge set to build in 6 weeks. We almost didn't make the dead line, lol. Funny, ne?

Review responses:

Amberblood- I'm not sire, but I might turn this into a Katana/Hajiki fic. I do like that pairing grin and about the drink, there are some drinks that are strong enough to knock someone out in two shots, especially if they're really tired and vulnerable already. Thanks for your comments!

Peevish Princess- Well, just keep writing and descriptiveness will come to you. Don't think too hard and try to think out the story's general idea and how you want people to feel when they read it. And don't feel obligated to update your stories if you're having writer's block, update whenever you can. If the people reading your story really like it, they'll constantly keep an eye out for updates. That's what I do and it usually works. Thanks for your reply!

Chapter 2

Boxes covered the floor of Shun Kanji's apartment, making it slightly difficult for Shun to even open the door, but once he had it open, he lead Hajiki and the still sleeping Katana into the bedroom off to the left. He opened that door to reveal a clean room with a small bed near the window and a dresser and mirror on the other side, both facing the window.

"You can put him on the bed over there." The golden haired boy said, gesturing to the bed, "I'll go put on some water for tea. Call for me if you need any help." Hajiki nodded and dragged Katana to the bed.

He sat on the bed and leaned Katana against himself so that he could more easily take off his soaked clothes. First, the trench coat came off. No wonder Katana was so heavy, the trench coat weighed at least 30 pounds by itself. Next was his vest, which wasn't too hard to get off. Then his dark red tie and button up shirt. To undo the buttons, Hajiki had to lay Katana down, so now Hajiki was leaning over Katana, trying to get the buttons undone as his hands shook from being so cold, "Damn it."

He finally got the shirt off and threw it into the corner with the trench coat, vest, and tie. The older teen's chest was amazingly toned, and a gunshot wound in the shoulder was evidence of his hard life. Other, smaller scars lined his chest and his arms. Hajiki shook his head when he found himself staring at the attractive boy, "Jeez, we're both men… why am I getting so worked up over this?"

"Probably because you're admiring him." Shun walked into the room with a pile of towels, "I thought you might need these." He set them on the bed and looked at Katana, "He is a really attractive boy, huh? I'm sure girl's go crazy over him." He chuckled at Hajiki's nervous look, "No worries, my friend, I'm not gay in the slightest bit. I'm just stating the truth."

Hajiki nodded, "Yeah, I guess you're right. But still… it feels weird. I'm usually running from this guy or in a heated battle with him. And now, here he is, vulnerable. I could get him out of my way now, but I came this far just to find him."

The rain pounded against the window, the tears of the sky. It was as if the sky cried for those who couldn't cry. It was sad. Shun turned to go check the water for the tea, but Hajiki stopped him.

"I need some help for a second." Hajiki lifted Katana up and handed him to Shun, "Hold him for a second." Hajiki then pulled the covers down and had Shun lay him down again. In only a few seconds, Katana's pants and boxers were off and the covers were over his lower half, "Thanks."

Shun chuckled and left the room, "Sure thing."

An almost unnoticeable noise escaped Katana's lips. Hajiki took one of the towels and began to dry Katana's chest, neck, and arms. Next he gently dried Katana's face and ran the towel through his hair softly. Again, a noise came from Katana. Hajiki listened close this time.

"Say… uri…"

Of course Katana would think of the one he was looking for. He seemed to really love the little girl that hung out with him almost every day. She was the only one who could get him to do anything, the only one he wanted to protect, the only one he trusted, other than Zero, but now that monster was gone.

When Hajiki was finished drying Katana, he pulled the covers over his friend and sat on the edge of the bed, "Man, you really like getting into trouble, huh?"

"Hajiki, the tea is ready." Balancing a tea tray in one hand and two small plates in the other, Shun entered the room. Hajiki smiled, remembering his home and how his mother would do the same thing, except she'd carry more. The blond set the tray and plates down on the low dresser and gestured to Hajiki, "I also brought out the cake I bought yesterday. The bakery was having a sale, and I just couldn't pass up the deal they had. Maybe later we can go back down there and see if they still have the sale."

Hajiki laughed quietly and nodded, picking up one of the teacups, "That sounds cool! We really should do that. Though, I'd like to wait until Katana wakes up, just in case, you know."

"Of course… so, have you known him long?"

"I guess you could say that." Hajiki chuckled and sipped at the tea, feeling a lot warmer.

"How'd you guys meet?" Shun asked curiously, "You two seem to be close."

Hajiki almost spit his tea out when he heard what Shun said last, "Us! Close! Hehe, as if! He hates my guts and would kill me as soon look at me, or at least try."

Shun shuddered at looked at the older teen as he slept on the bed, "Then why'd you help him?"

"Well, I can to this city to find him because he left my city in search of someone else." He explained, taking a bite of the cake that was almost forgotten.

Now Shun was very curious, "Who is he looking for? A lover? His long lost brother?"

"A little blond girl that he used to hang out with. She was really small but no one knew a lot about her… not even Katana." Hajiki looked back at Katana with a look of sympathy, "He's willing to give everything to find her. That's what he almost did last time."

"Last time?"

"It's a long story, but I'm a bit tired, so let's wait." Hajiki yawned and finished his cake and tea, "I'm going to stay in here a while longer in case he wakes up, ok, Shun?"

Shun nodded and began piling the plates and tea cups, "That sounds good. When you want to fall asleep, you can use my bed, I'm quite comfortable on the couch." Hajiki smiled as Shun closed the door behind him.

"Thanks, Shun." Hajiki looked back at Katana and sat next to the bed. A moment later, he kneeled up and turned around, leaning against the bed. Katana looked so peaceful. Maybe he was so cranky all the time because he never got any sleep… therefore, when he wakes, he may be really nice! Hajiki chuckled at himself and put his chin on the bed as sleep pulled at his mind. He smiled a bit, at the thought of a cheerful Katana, before sleep finally stole his consciousness, "Hurry back… Sayuri…"
