Awakened By The Moonlight

Chapter Four: Song Of Sleep

Everyone around the bar cringed as another glass was heard crashing down onto the floor. It had been the third glass of the night. Blue quickly turned to the confused couple she was serving flashing them a fake smile.

"Um…I'll be right back," she finally replied casually as she hurried towards the source of the noise. Blue felt herself rush towards the other side of the bar, everything in her way being trampled in the process. Meanwhile, Toboe silently cursed as he stared at the remains of the glass scattered all around the floor. He cringed when Blue's voice rang through the bar, causing his body to slip into panic mode.

Stay calm…stay calm…

"Toboe, what's going on here?" Blue had then suddenly entered his focus and sure enough there she was standing taller than he remembered. He frowned when he noticed the worried look on her face. He could never lie to that look. It was something he knew was close to impossible…at least for him of course. He breathed out a deep sigh. Why did it seem that this week had just been getting worse and worse for him?

Tsume…

He stopped when he realized he was shaking. There were so many emotions passing through him. Anger. Sadness. Hurt…wait why should he feel the slight bit terrible? Why should he have to suffer for what had transpired between him and Tsume?

Blue studied his face, her anger and frustration slowly dissipating when she looked at his eyes. They looked…lost…as if his mind was trying to make a decision he didn't want to make.

"Toboe," Blue began. "Are you okay?" She frowned when Toboe only looked down at the floor. Blue wasn't stupid. She knew something was wrong from the moment he had first walked into the bar. Blue had stood there and had greeted him like she normally did but he just looked at her and smiled but…this smile was painful. Blue knew things weren't right from the way beginning but she didn't want to pester him about it so she had just let it go. Now Toboe seemed to be worse than ever; she had to think.

He was fine the other day in fact, he actually seemed pretty happy…Blue searched through all the possible options until one seemed to claim her mind completely.

"Is it…is it that guy? Tsume?" Blue knew she hit the nail on the head when Toboe's eyes widened. Though in the next few seconds, Toboe wiped the look off of his face and smiled big at her.

I have to pull this off…I have to lie to her…How he was going to pull it off, he had no idea but it was something that he absolutely had to do. The last thing he wanted was for Blue to be worrying about him.

"With Tsume? Oh no, Blue it's not that. I actually saw him yesterday. He's doing good." He tried to look at her right in the eye. What he was saying it wasn't exactly a lie was it? His innocent mind scolded him. It doesn't make it right! It's not exactly the truth either! He tried to silence the voice repeating itself over and over again.

Blue only stared at him, all the doubt in the world stopping her from believing his story. She sighed loudly. Blue knew that Toboe was lying, but if he was actually trying his hardest to look her right in the eye and lie right to her face…well, the truth couldn't have been good. She decided to let it go.

"Oh that's good, then I guess just try to hold on to the glasses this time. I can't have you breaking everything in the bar unless I want Pops to shoot me." She smiled as Toboe chuckled. Her gaze fell onto the floor to inspect the damage. Not bad…at least he tried to clean everything up. She turned her back to Toboe and began to slowly walk away. Toboe breathed out loudly expelling all of the nervous tension that was welled up inside of him.

"That was so close…" He stared at the remaining shards of broken glass before grabbing the nearby wastebasket. He crouched down low on the floor picking up all of the shards he could find. He had to stop this. He shouldn't even be full of all these emotions. Not an ounce of sadness, anger, or hurt. It was all Tsume's fault. He was the one who had kissed him. He was the one who had taken that bullet for him. He was the one who had thrown him out after…he winced as a tiny piece of a shard was wedged deep into his finger.

He glanced down and carefully picked the piece slowly out. Tiny droplets of blood broke out of the skin as he finally dropped the piece into the wastebasket. Toboe brought his finger to his lips and sucked on it until the blood was no longer visible. He got up and walked over to one of the bar's storage closets and opened it, retrieving a small first-aid kit. Toboe opened the box and carefully took out a band-aid. He quickly put it around his cut finger, smiling when he realized that it was a dark blue band-aid decorated with little silver moons.

Toboe made his way back to the front of the bar, taking a seat in one of the many vacant chairs. His thoughts turned back to Tsume as he glanced at his small injury. I wonder if Tsume's wound has healed yet…he gazed outside the nearby window at the evening sky. He placed his hands behind his head, his four silver bangles jingling in the process. Stop that Toboe…he scolded himself when worry began to surface throughout his entire body but…there was no doubt he was worried.

I hope it's not infected or anything…If Tsume were to go to the hospital, they would ask him for his name. He could either lie and say a different name or use his real one. If he did use his real one, there's a chance that someone could panic and I'm sure Tsume wouldn't want to go through all that but then again they don't know what he looks like, maybe he would take the chance. Tsume just seems like someone who would hate for others to care for him.

He remembered the look of complete, unhidden anger that had erupted from Tsume when he had tried to tend to his wound. No, a hospital is definitely out of the question. He frowned as he kept staring out the window. I just hope the jerk is…okay.

Tsume placed his hand over his shoulder, for a new wound it was healing exceptionally well. He took his hand away. He had tried his best to hide his injury from everyone especially Holland. Tsume cringed at the thought of what Holland's reaction would be. Bitching…lots and lots of bitching. He swore sometimes Holland bitched more than any woman he had ever known in his entire life. Then would come the questions. How it happened…when it happened…why it happened…why it was healing so quickly…He knew the last question was unavoidable. Sure, Holland knew him as a fast healer but never that fast. Tsume was in his usual spot sitting on the ledge of the window staring out towards the city.

What's happening to me? All these things…they don't make any sense. Damn it!

He remembered when everything had been normal the memory not far from the time that it changed. His life had been far from perfect…hell it was not even close to okay. His gang had been all he needed. They stole to survive. That was just the world they were born in to. This life was all he knew, there was no alternative. But…he dreamed of a different world, a different life. At first he thought that it would be fine to die like this, but there was a deep feeling inside his heart that these things were happening for a reason. Like they were trying to piece together the forgotten pages of his life. He glanced down at the tattered book on the table. It all began with that book.

He sighed rubbing his eyes. Despite his tough exterior, Tsume was exhausted. Ever since the night he had met Toboe, the nightmares had become much worse. He closed his eyes remembering every little detail of his dream.

Tsume walked on through the path calling for someone to appear from the darkness. He kept walking no light visible at all. Tsume looked all around him his eyes adjusting to the sudden light of the full moon hovering above him. When the moonlight was upon him, his eyes widened when they fell on a figure standing in front of him. His back was turned so Tsume couldn't see his face but he studied his body gasping when he spotted four silver bracelets worn on his right wrist.

"Toboe?" Tsume whispered. There was silence. Tsume stepped closer to Toboe waiting for him to turn around. When Toboe finally did turn around, Tsume felt his heart ache. Toboe was crying. Tsume closed the distance between them, wrapping his arms around him holding him close.

"Please don't cry Toboe…" Tsume whispered softly to him. There were no boundaries. Not a single sense of resolution or pride. Not in this dream, not in this world.

Toboe gasped when Tsume placed his hand on his cheek. Toboe gazed up at him mimicking the exact same moment when Tsume had first touched him. But…something was wrong. The light in those beautiful orbs was gone. It was replaced with nothing. Not a glimmer of life left in them. "Toboe…" Tsume gasped when he felt a small hole in the boy's back. His eyes grew wide with fear when a warm liquid seeped through the boy's clothing onto his hand. He brought it to his eyes, the distinctive scent setting of an alarm in his mind above all else.

Blood…

Toboe was covered in blood! "No!" Tsume screamed as Toboe's body became limp in his arms. "Toboe! Toboe!" He kept trying to rouse him but nothing was working. He quickly checked for the boy's heartbeat. Nothing. "Toboe!" He held onto him tighter. "No!" He brought Toboe closer to him as a red moon appeared over the darkness bathing them in its unique glow. "Toboe!" He screamed out in anguish one final time. This time it was different. For at the same time he called his name, a wolf howled a cry of sadness and pain…

Tsume opened his eyes. That's where the dream would always end. He placed his head in his arms. Why was he having these nightmares? More importantly, why was he having dreams of Toboe dying? Maybe…maybe the guilt inside of him had finally reached its limit. He hoped so. No matter what he tried, he couldn't shake the anger in his heart. Every time he closed his eyes all he saw was Toboe's tear stained face. He shouldn't have lashed out a him but his pride had gotten the better of him. Tsume sighed. He was just so confused about everything. Tsume couldn't help but remember the deep sense of regret that still lingered in a place he never thought possible.

Come on Tsume…snap out of it. You're staring to sound like a damn woman! He just got under your skin for a moment. It won't ever happen again… there's no way he would come back after you chased him away. You'll never see him again…

BAM!!!

He was roughly snapped out of his thoughts when Holland busted through the door like a bullet being shot from a gun.

"Where the hell is my jacket?!?" Holland turned left to look behind the door, then dropped down on the floor to look underneath the couch.

"Why the hell would your jacket be in my room?" Holland only stared at him for a moment. Oh, there were SO many things he could say to him racing through his head…but he was in a hurry. Tsume was amazed when Holland only ignored him and continued searching.

"There it is!" He exclaimed when his eyes fell upon the black leather jacket sandwiched in between the couch cushions. He went over to the couch and rescued it from its prison. He quickly put it on, checking his watch for the time. "Damn, I'm late!" Tsume turned when he heard a second sound of footsteps enter his room.

"Hey Holland, here's that information you asked me for." Chris handed him a folded piece of paper. Holland grabbed it slowly connecting his jade green eyes with Chris's light brown beauties.

"Thanks so much Chris, I know it must've been hard to get since I sort of asked you at the last minute and all." He smiled up at him making the taller man smile as well.

"It was no problem really, I like doing stuff for you." This made Holland blush unexpectedly, his reaction not lost to Tsume who smirked.

"As long as I'm doing anything really to escape boredom." Chris continued placing his left hand behind his head and laughing. Tsume turned to watch Holland, his expectations confirmed when the younger man stared down at the floor his jet-black hair covering his eyes.

"Oh…right." Holland quickly brought his face up to meet Chris's again. Tsume secretly applauded Holland for having the almost impossible ability of hiding ones emotions.

"Well…I better get going." He turned his head to Tsume who was still smirking. "I'm gonna head out now."

"Where you going?" Chris asked as Holland turned his attention back to him. "Oh, let's just say I have a date tonight." He began to walk towards the door. Tsume glanced at Chris's wide-eyed expression. He wasn't sure what he was thinking at that moment because the guy seemed to be thinking a hundred different things at the moment, Holland completely oblivious to this fact. He kept walking towards the open door until he suddenly stopped.

"Hey Tsume…" He called his voice portraying a rather serious tone. "Yeah?" The leader answered casually. "Try and get some sleep tonight alright?"

Tsume quickly turned to look at Holland. How Holland knew about his lack of sleep was beyond him but he didn't feel like being angry so he just let it go.

Tsume chuckled. This was apparently all Holland needed because he then continued on through the doorway, Chris shortly followed after him.

Hey at least he's talking to me again…

Holland smirked as he made his way down the stairs.

Tsume stared out towards the sunset. At least one thing had gone back to the way it was.

Toboe turned towards Blue who was waving another customer goodbye. He started cleaning everything up from the tables trying to make it up to Blue, after all the stuff he had managed to break just because he couldn't keep his emotions in check. Blue only stared at him. Seeing right through his plan, ready to initiate her own. "Toboe," She called smiling when he turned toward her like a soldier being called to attention.

"Y-yes Blue?" Toboe asked timidly ready to take on any job she would give him. "Go home." Toboe stared wide-eyed at her his composure and stiff position completely broken.

"What? But I…" Blue put her hand up silencing him. "Listen Toboe…business is pretty dead today. I can handle anyone else who decides to drop by." Toboe took a look around the bar noticing that she wasn't kidding. The place was close to empty and all the rest of the workers had already gone home. It was just him and Blue at this point. There was no real good reason for him to stay except to help Blue of course, but she wanted him to go home. He brought his hands to the back of his head and smiled big at her.

"Yeah…I was thinking about heading home anyway." Blue smiled back at him. Her plan had worked perfectly. "Good." She kept smiling pulling out a bundle of clothes. She handed him his light orange jacket, pale yellow scarf, and his pink hat. Toboe only stared at Blue to which she responded with a smirk.

"I knew you'd see things my way." Toboe smiled back nervously grabbing his stuff and slowly putting it on. When he finally placed his hat snugly on his head, Blue grabbed him by his scarf and dragged him all the way to the door choking him in the process. Toboe gagged adjusting his scarf when Blue finally let go. She pointed towards the door.

"Be sure to tell Granny I said hi…now out!" Blue called before she grabbed his green umbrella and handed it to him. "Be careful it's raining outside." She urged him outside. They stood on the sidewalk, Toboe's umbrella shielding them both from the rain. Toboe was just about to say goodbye when he felt two arms wrap around him. Blue was hugging him. Toboe's eyes slowly closed as Blue began to speak.

"Go home and get some sleep alright Toboe?" The young boy opened his eyes and smiled sadly. Blue's voice sounded so heartbreaking. He knew it was his entire fault. He was like a little brother to Blue. She was worried about him…but he couldn't tell her why he had been acting this way at least not yet. The truth was he didn't even know why. He held onto her like a child with its mother.

"I will Blue please…don't worry about me." They slowly broke apart from each other. Blue smiled a sweet forgiving smile; she then turned towards the sky. "You better get going before it gets any darker." Toboe nodded to her before he stepped out onto the street, the rain opening its sheets of water for him.

Holland gazed out at the gray sky. Damn, this place looks so gloomy when it rains. He turned the corner onto another street. Well, at least it matches my mood. Holland sighed. You're stupid…you know he would never…He stopped when he felt cold water on his feet.

"Shit!" He exclaimed when he looked down at the huge puddle he had stepped into. He jumped out shivering from the cold feeling spreading through out his feet. Holland brought his jacket closer to him before he continued walking. Great…

Trying to think of something else besides the cold, Holland thought back to what had happened at the hideout. He frowned when Tsume's face appeared in his mind. He always looks so tired…

Is it the kid that's getting to him?

His mind traveled back to that morning. He had been sitting in his room talking with Chris.

Holland stared out of the window, his mind raging with questions for his leader. Two days had passed since the encounter with the kid. Holland shook his head when the image of Tsume kissing the boy came into his mind. I never knew Tsume was…

"God damn, my head hurts…" He turned his attention back to the person he was supposed to be paying attention to. Chris stopped talking when he noticed Holland's strained face.

"Holland, are you okay?" Holland's eyes widened when Chris crossed over and sat on the couch achingly close to him. His heart almost exploded out of his chest when he felt Chris's hand on his forehead.

"You have a slight fever." Chris frowned while Holland blushed at the contact. He quickly pulled his head away from him.

"I-I'm just really tired…I haven't slept well in the past few days." Holland smiled at him to which Chris didn't smile back.

"You really need to start taking better care of yourself." Chris looked at him seriously making Holland gulp.

"I'm fine really! So um…what were you telling me about?" Holland questioned desperately trying to change the subject.

Chris immediately took the bait. "Oh that's right!" He took a pause to remember where he had left off. " I met this girl yesterday with these HUGE…" Now he remembered why he had tuned him out in the first place. Holland closed his eyes and leaned back to the soft material of the couch, his head overcome by all the stressful events of the day. There was the whole Book of the Moon crap that he didn't even want to go into and of course the status of the gang in general.

Holland sighed deeply as his thoughts turned to Tsume. He hasn't said a word since that kid took off. Holland thought about it for a few moments. He made a decision getting up from the couch.

"Holland?" Chris asked confused when Holland walked out the door.

The young man stopped in front of Tsume's door. He opened the door slowly and stepped inside shutting it behind him. To his surprise, Tsume was already awake, his dark silhouette framed by the beams of the moonlight. When he turned, Holland could have sworn he had seen a hint of sadness etched into his fine features. Holland walked closer to Tsume, the leader's blank expression starting to get to him.

"Hey Tsume…" He began trying to be careful with his choice of words. Finally deciding to go with something general, he gazed up at Tsume.

"Are…you okay?" Holland braced himself for the usual outburst of anger. He waited…and waited…but the outburst never came. He stared up at Tsume his eyes filled with bewilderment. Tsume returned his gaze for merely a moment before he turned his back to Holland. It was now definitely safe to say that something was wrong. He jumped when his leader's voice rang through the silent room.

"The provisions train for the Nobles will be passing through the checkpoint tomorrow. Make the usual preparations."

Holland froze as the words registered through his mind. What the…was he…was he planning another attack!? Holland glared back at Tsume, anger slowly rising higher and higher inside of him.

"No one is gonna show Tsume…you know that." His voice hinting his heightening anger. The silence that came from Tsume only aggravated him even more until he couldn't take it anymore.

"What the hell do you think you're doing Tsume?!" God knows with this killer going busting everyone's brains out, no one is feeling safe enough to try anything much less another hit."

What the hell was going on inside that head of his? It didn't make sense at all. Tsume just seemed so…cold like they were back to square one all over again. Those three years built on the foundation of their friendship never happened…

Holland growled at this sudden realization. Tsume slowly turned around to face him, his eyes expressing his masking coldness.

"Just do your job Holland, I'm really not in the mood." Holland tried to quell the rising anger inside of him. This had gone on long enough.

"I tried playing the concerned friend but apparently that doesn't mean shit to you so now I'm serious!" His eyes traveled back to Tsume. "What's going on Tsume?" The words seemed to echo in the silent room. Holland's hands balled up into tight clenched fists almost cutting his circulation.

"Fine Tsume…I'll be an obedient dog for now…" He spat out before he turned his back on his leader and walked out the door.

They hadn't spoken to each other because of it. Holland crossed the street to the opposite sidewalk. He took the paper out of his pocket and quickly glanced through it. He looked all around him not spotting the address he was looking for. He had been thinking too much and now he was…

Damn it, I'm lost!

Tsume gazed out towards the cloudy sky that covered the top of the city like a blanket. He felt the tiny droplets of water that would occasionally land on his hand. He could hear the soft pitter-patter of the rain; he could smell the wonderful scent. It seemed that all of his senses were heightened by the tenfold. Oh well…

He stared all around the empty room. He then remembered that Holland had left for his so-called "date." He closed his eyes, caught off-guard when a drop of rainwater fell onto his right eyelid. Tsume opened his eyes. He felt like doing something but he couldn't figure out what. They weren't going to hit the supply train until tomorrow. It was usually an easy target, nothing too difficult as long as you knew what you were doing.

There were only a few guards at the checkpoint and even less on the train. Though they doubled with each attack, it still wasn't a problem. More guards…more bodies.

There was no second-guessing at this point; they were getting low on provisions. If they succeeded that meant they wouldn't have to worry about food or anything else for a while. The provisions train was set for one destination.

The Nobles…

A group of aristocratic people that would buy the whole damn world if it were for sale. To them, everything had its price. They were shady people who all had their dark secrets. If a Noble family got itself in a bind, the police wouldn't even try to begin an investigation. No one questioned a Noble's actions. That was the rule. If you did, you'd be dead.

Anybody who didn't ask any questions would be able to fill their pockets with the Noble's money. Tsume smirked. The integrity of men sure falters when you pay with hundreds. He looked out towards the sky when he was suddenly hit with an idea. He got up and stretched for a while before he grabbed his jacket and headed out the door. He passed all of the empty rooms.

Everyone was probably in the city by now. He had let everyone go out. If anything went wrong tomorrow, it would be a long time before any of them could go out in public again. It would be too risky.

He turned the main door open and closed it tight. Tsume stopped and looked around. He noticed a woman holding onto a little girl with pigtails in her hair. The woman held her hand tightly, both of them walking under a bright blue umbrella. The pair kept walking past Tsume, the little girl smiling big at him before her mother urged her with a tug of her hand to keep moving. She looked over her shoulder still smiling at Tsume until her and her mother turned the corner.

Tsume turned away and began searching for his motorbike. He finally spotted it, walked over, and sat down in the seat. He swung his leg over and placed his helmet slowly on his head. It was still raining when he finally started his bike and road off into the streets. He didn't have any particular destination to go to but…

That's what made it interesting…

Toboe kept walking through the rain listening to the pattern of the raindrops hitting his umbrella. Although it was raining, there were many people adorning the sidewalks. Some walked around with umbrellas while others ran quickly to get out of the rain. He looked around at the city, the gray clouds expressing the color of the tall buildings all around him. A nearby taxi rushed by almost soaking Toboe, had he not put his umbrella between him and the incoming water. When the cab finally passed him, he adjusted his umbrella and began heading on his way.

He stopped suddenly when a soft sound entered his senses. He looked down on the ground until his eyes widened. There lying in an alley, was a snow-white kitten staring up at him with big blue innocent eyes. Toboe crouched down low bringing himself closer to the kitten shivering in the big cardboard box. The kitten mewed weakly at him. Toboe frowned.

She's so little…someone must have left her here. She's all alone. I can't leave her…she won't survive the night.

Holding on to his umbrella with one hand, Toboe reached out and grabbed the kitten. He carefully balanced her in his hand and brought her to his chest. She quickly snuggled up to him, his body heat already warming the little ball of fur. He smiled when the kitten began to purr as if to thank him for his kindness.

Then it was as if time itself had frozen.

Toboe felt something no…someone calling his name as if they were right behind him. That voice it sounded like…

"Tsume?"

He turned around quickly, his heart stopping for a mere moment.

There was no one there.

The kitten in his arms mewed up at him. Toboe smiled sadly at the kitten. "I thought that he was…never mind." The little kitten looked at him confusingly before snuggling closer to his chest. He stood up, checking one last time to make sure no one was behind him.

"Maybe Blue's right…maybe I should get some rest." The kitten mewed once more bringing him back to reality. "Oh right…" He held onto her carefully as he continued walking down the sidewalk. He smiled down at the little one. "Don't worry, you can stay with me. I'm sure Granny wouldn't mind if I brought you home."

It continued to rain. Toboe walked for a little longer always finding a way to look behind him. He sighed loudly. Sleep. Just go home and sleep.

He crossed a couple of streets and turned some corners until his apartment complex came into view. He held on tightly to the kitten as he slowly made his way up the stairs. Toboe stepped in the covered doorway and finally dropped his umbrella. He reached his now free hand into his pocket, pulled out his house key, and opened the door.

Toboe went inside leaving the door open until he put the kitten down on his living room floor. When this was done, he went back outside closing his umbrella and then finally closing the door. He turned around his eyes scanning the floor. Toboe smiled when they reached a little ball of fur curled on the carpet. He walked over the kitten running his hand across her head from one ear to the other.

"Goodnight…" He whispered softly. Toboe stood up and went into the kitchen. "Granny must still be working."

She worked at a small bookstore a friend of hers owned. She'd work a few hours every day when she wasn't feeling ill. No matter what, Granny always put other people before herself.

Toboe smiled. His mind traveled back to when he was a little boy. Granny would always read to him every night before he went to sleep. She would always find a way to fill his head with stories of bravery, adventure, and love. Every story had a different meaning and every story had a special place in his heart.

He removed his scarf and hat, placing them on the kitchen counter. All he really wanted to do was sleep. It had truly been a draining day. For one thing, he couldn't stop thinking about Tsume. Another thing was he was starting to worry Blue. He never wanted anyone to worry about him. Tsume…maybe…maybe if he knew he was alright maybe if he could just see him again but…that was impossible now, he was sure Tsume never wanted to see him again.

He sighed loudly. They didn't even know that much about each other and already their relationship was complicated. Something clicked in Toboe's mind. Maybe I should've turned away when Tsume touched me…

Why was it so easy to trust him? Tsume just seemed to know exactly what to say, exactly how to touch him. If he did see Tsume again, would he be able to keep his emotions within himself?

"Tsume…" He whispered gazing out the kitchen window, his mind already recalling everything they had both been through together. His thoughts were brought to an end when a knock was heard at the door. Toboe turned towards the door. Was it Blue? Did he forget something at the bar?

He walked over to the door, his hand resting on the doorknob. His mind raced with the question of whether or not to open the door.

He decided to take the chance. Toboe turned the doorknob slowly and opened the door. He gasped when the person's identity was revealed.

It wasn't Blue. It wasn't anyone he half expected to see.

(Gasp) who could the mysterious stranger be? I know you all probably want to kill me right now lol! Sorry, but this chapter must end here. Yay!
