Kyo's hands slowly slipped back from her after all the water drained from his hands. "It'll be boring here without someone else around..."

She nodded faintly. "Then will need to tidy up our home." She lowered her head slowly. "Kyou I want you to know though, if I do get sick no hospitals or care by any other beside yours."

"Fine..." he said as he glanced back at her, "No hospitals... but you better not refuse me when I try to help either... none of this shit about being ready to die."

"I know." She stood up looking down to the cat. "When shall we head into town?"

"As soon as you feel well enough to travel..." he said softly as he watched her.

"I feel fine..., but we have to be careful you'll stand out to much with your hair like that."

His eyes glanced back at her once more and he arched a brow, "What's wrong with my hair?"

"Its bright dumbass." She spoke coldly turning away heading toward their small cabin.

"So what if it's bright, it's not like we've gotta worry too much in town, they can't do anything to us there."

"You never know with Akito." She spoke sadly as she looked back to him.

Slowly he walked in and moved to the small chair within, taking a seat on it and looking over at her. His arms crossed over his chest as he looked away and whispered, "And what do you propose we do about my hair..."

"Will buy you a hat or something..." She moved her hair back behind her. "... Even if we don't see them they could always follow us here."

"A hat will be ok, as long as we're not talking about cutting or dying it then I don't have a problem with it," he mumbled a bit as he leaned back in the chair more and closed his eyes a bit.

"In the morning will go into town, but I don't know how will get big things up here."

"Shigure will help us... we'll go while the rat's in school..."

She sat up quickly glaring at him. "You know I don't like him!"

"What do you expect though!? We can't carry it, we have to have some help... he's the only one we can trust..."

Rin looked at him shaking his head. "... Fine."

"It's settled... I'll call him when we get to town in the morning..."

She nodded lightly closing her eyes. "... I'll buy you hat when were in town."

"Alright... until then though, you should get some rest and try to get better..." Slowly he stood up and walked to the bed, sitting on the edge of it.

She pulled the covers over her body falling into a light sleep. He sat there on the edge of the bed for several minutes, just watching her as she rested. In silent thought he remembered the look in her eyes when she was having the coughing fit, the pain. It was bothering him, he wished he never had to see her like that again.

She started to stir beneath her blanket her eyes focousing upon the open window. 'It feels so nice the sunlight... How come I never noticed it before.'

Kyo's eyes slowly openned, squinting at the sunlight that poured through the open window. "We've gotta get some shades..."

"Black ones." She spoke softly sitting up rubbing her eyes slowly.

Nodding softly, he slowly sat up on the edge of the bed and brushed his hair back some, trying to fix the messyness of the bed head. "Are you ready to go Kyou?" She ran her small fingers through her silk black hair.

"As ready as I'll ever be," he said as he stood up and brushed his hair around a bit more to get it straightened out. She moved putting her blanket away in the corner then to the outside world. Slowly he followed her out, stretching his arms high over his head once he got outside.

"You'll have to lead the way Kyou." She spoke softly as she pulled her hair back behind her.

Nodding softly, he slowly stepped around her and began to walk down the hidden road path that lead into town, taking his time to make sure she doesn't fall behind. Rin kept at a good pace as she followed beside him almost slipping a few times from the loose gravel.

"Gotta be careful... the rain yesterday will make this path a little wet." He cautioned her in a quiet tone, his eyes not looking towards her.

"I guess I'll buy shoes this time... I won't need heels anymore."

"It might be a good id-" he cut himself short when he glanced over at her and watched the wind pick up around her, tossing her hair around lightly.

She glared down to him as she pulled her long strands back. "I'll need ponytails I want to keep my hair from getting messy." He nodded softly, though he wasn't really paying much attention to her words. He was kinda lost in the view at the moment.

She stopped looking to him. "Is something wrong now?"

"No..." he said softly as he forced himself to look away from her and down the road once more. "I just... thought I saw a deer or some other beautiful animal..."

She tilted her head to the side. "... We should keep going so we don't get caght."

"You worry too much... they'll never find us on this road. Besides.. if we get there too soon, I won't be able to call Shigure yet, we have to bide our time 'til school starts."

"Then will get you a hat and me a new pair of shoes."

He nodded softly as he slowly walked alongside her again, watching his steps now, to keep himself from watching her. She moved ahead of him when she saw a solid surface. "Finally!"

Chuckling softly, he walked down with her onto the concrete sidewalk at the edge of town, glancing around to make sure he didn't see Yuki anywhere. Rin looked back to him. "Hurry up or I'll leave you behind."

"I'm coming," he said as he took a couple of steps backwards towards her, checking the path behind them, before turning to walk alongside her into the town. She made her way down the hillside and into the community center. She stepped into a hat store that had other exceseries.

Slowly Kyo followed the girl in, looking around at the people and hats hanging here and there. "Choose one." She spoke sitting down in a chair resting.

Nodding softly, he walked over and grabbed a hat that he liked, showing it to her. She smiled kindly. "You want that one?" She took the hat gently from him looking to the price. "It might be ok if I spent my money they're use to me being gone."

His head shook slightly, "I don't want you to have to buy it... we'll buy things ogether..."

"How you can't access your account." She stood walking over to the clerk to buy the hat.

"What..?" His head tilted a bit as he looked at her and sighed, "Great... they locked it too..?"

"... They probably took your money out and got rid of it." She paid the man for the hat turning to him holding it out to him.

His face shifted to one of disgust and anger as he took the hat and pulled it on his head. "The bastards don't care if I live or die..."

"I do now lets get going I want to get some new shoes and throw these away I don't need them anymore."

Nodding softly, he slowly turned around and shoved his hands in his pockets, walking towards the door of the store, his eyes narrowed and focused on the ground.

"... Kyou if it helps any I'm living just for you, so your not lonly."

His head lifted a bit and glanced back at her, a slight smile curling up the corner of his mouth, "Thanks Rin... at least someone cares..."

Aww how sweet she's being rather kind to the ugly cat. Let us know how you like it!
