Well, this isn't the longest chapter in the world, but hey, I had to do a little something for Storm the Albatross, the one and only person that reviews to EVERY SINGLE chapter I put out there. Not that other people don't it's just as soon as I put something out, there's a review in my inbox from Storm. It keeps me going, and it makes me super happy! =3

"I…I love you." Time froze for the two. Hidan stunned all to hell, but relived. "It's okay if you don't love me, I just wanted for you to know…" There was a silence. Rix's heart clenched and she felt tears sting her eyes. She knew she shouldn't have said that, she should've never opened up. Ever. Now she felt like a fool and vowed to herself that she would never open herself again. Vowed to never speak of love, for it's just an illusion, something that screws with you until you give into it then it rips you apart.

"I love you too, Rix." Rix felt Hidan's lips kiss her forehead gently. The tears that she didn't know she shed caught his eyes. "Stop crying, there's no need to cry. I'll be here, I won't let you die, and…I love you, Rix, I love you." He wiped away a falling tear with his thumb.

"You don't know just how happy I am…" Rix pressed her self against Hidan.

"I'm pretty sure I do." Hidan kissed the top of her head and let sleep creep into his mind.
