My hot-headed knight.

Okay? Okaaaay? Who the effin hell said that everything was going to be okay? What stupid, terribly idiotic piece of damn shit said that everything was going to be okay?

Her eyes widened as the second knock on the door came and with trembling hands she touched Kaede's chest pushing him towards the closet. His questioning look made her sigh in exasperation as her lips silently formed the words 'Get in there!'

'What actually makes you think that they don't know I am here…or what makes you think that my presence will not be noticed…for God's sake you're wearing my shirt aaaand Mutsuki's powers are…let's say, about finding stuff…' he whispered raising his brows. '…and probably…' he continued '…he will smell me all over you…and the bed…'He smirked at this '…and what about the rose petals from my awakening?' He pointed towards the bed.

'I need you alive…' she frowned moving her head .

'It's going to be fine just…let's stand up for our feelings…I mean…let's be brave for this once and toghe-…' his speech was halted by a slap she gave at the back of his head.

'You won't have the chance to stand up you baka…' she seethed.

'Either way hiding me is plain useless…'

'Let us try what do we have to lose?' and with that she shoved him into her wardrobe and closed its doors.

The third knock made her rush to open up to whoever was outside of her apartement.

She took a deep breath and proceeded-slowly…so very slowly- to crack the door open barely an inch…only to see…

'Aniiiis-sama!' Seiran was fast to get inside his light blue hair not as groomed as usual

'S-seiran-kun?' Fuck I am stuttering …he will be able to say I m hiding something any time now…

'Kaede-kun do you mind getting out of the closet…for God's sake that was the best you could actually do?' he seemed a bit frustrated.

'H-how did you-' Anis looked at him puzzled.

'Excuse me Anis-sama…' he turned to his friend and said with an unbelievably straight face '…I know a girl that has a cousin in Mexico he will help you hide for a while and move you around to different locations so no one will be able to pinpoint you…I know that you already have a passport…i will cover all of the costs…once you get there you must change your name and grow a moustache…' he put a hand on Keade's shoulder. 'I will miss you my friend…' he muttered sadly.

Kaede could do nothing but gape at the blue-haired boy's words.

'Actually it's a pretty good plan…' Anis patted her cheek with her index finger.

'You both crazy?' he grimaced raising his voice a bit.

'Your safety is at stake my friend and the only way to guarantee that you will continue living is a mysterious disappearance…'

'I've told you a thousand times to stop watching Scooby-Doo it ain't good for ya…you take everything way too seriously…'

'Watch your tongue when it's about Scooby….' Anis spat pursing her lips.

He rolled his eyes.

'Guys relax they cannot possibly harm me especially now that I'm this close to getting married to you.' he shrugged.

M-marriage…marriage…the word echoed in her head…her eyes wide open.

'Yeah don't even think about it! I m not going to marry you…I mean I haven't lived my life yet and I certainly don't plan on getting stuck with you for the dang rest of it!' she yelled her cheeks fire red.

'Ouch! That kinda hurt.' He placed a hand over his chest. 'Yeah and i wasn't proposing anyway!' he said bitterly.

'fine!' he looked away

'Fine!' she did the same, crossing her arms.

'FINE!'

'F-I-N-E!'

'I-I hate to interrupt your…your fight, but the other two knights will be here any time now…' he gulped.

'I don't care he might just get what he deserves…' she pretended that she wasn't worried.(Huge lie!)

'Alrighty then! Maybe my death should bring joy to our ruthless dominion!' he noted sarcastically a hint of pain in his voice and eyes.

She snapped her head at him eyes full of regret, biting her lower lip. She knew she had taken it a bit far but her stubbornness wouldn't allow her to speak up. He walked toward the bed and sat at its edge, elbows supported on his knees. He gazed the floor not letting a single word slip his lips.

Why must he make me so mad all the time? Aaaarggh…and he's adorable when he pouts…no Anis! Get a grip girl…but he looks so sad, i just want to hug him…NO! Am I really so cold to him? Why do I make him sad constantly? Do we really need to fight the whole time, even now….after…that… she sighed in defeat and moved at his direction. He raised his head to look at her for mere seconds and then averted his gaze.

She sat next to him but he was still looking at the floor. She patted him on the shoulder with her index finger. He still didn't gaze her. Alright then I'll have to resort in something more drastic…the blush in her cheeks was more than obvious.

She leaned in breathing in his scent at he nape of his neck and placed tenderly a little kiss just there. He closed his eyes. So we have self control now, don't we? She grinned and continued to nibble his ear. He exhaled slowly from the nose getting a grip of himself. Not just yet huh? Let's see for how long you can keep this up…she placed another soft kiss, this time mere centimetres from his ear. He was stubborn she would give him that…his face still not in her direction, but facing in front. She held back a chuckle and brushed her mouth along his jaw, stopping before she would touch his lips. Finally he turned to her, lids heavy, without making any other move whatsoever. She proceeded brushing their lips together bringing daze upon herself too, hardly holding her eyes open. He was really trying to keep it together, it was plain to see.

He groaned and put his hands at both sides of her face. 'Stop teasing me!' he said pressing his teeth together. She backed away only as much needed to be able to look at him.

'I'm sorry..' she muttered.

He said nothing but rather crashed his mouth on hers.

'You are an expert on having things your way, don't you?' he traced her cheek with his knuckles and then her lips with his thumb. She was as flustered as heck.

'Not sure if I should leave the room or stay and take notes…' Seiran stated innocently.

They both turned his way rather fast.

'Notes on what?' Kaede's voice had a higher pitch than usual.

'Public displays of affection…' the boy tilted his head.

'Its not public, we're in a room…'

'But you do have an audience…' he insisted.

'N-never mind…'Kaede shook his head…

'Soo will you go to Mexico?' he continued

'Wha-?No!' he answered.

Anis tangled her fingers with his.

'They won't hurt him…' she rested her head at his shoulder. 'Not if they know that I will stand in the way…they wouldn't hurt me and thus he can get away with it…almost…i think….' She whined and hid her face at his chest. He caressed her and put an arm around her.

Seiran…tensed at the knock on the door. 'I told you! You should have ran when i first came here to warn you…now it's too late.' The knocks became louder.

'Seiran, could you please open it for me?' Anis asked.

The boy nodded and did as told.

'I demand to know what caused the dog's awakening!' a raging Tenjoh got in the apartment followed by Mutsuki that was sulking and muttering something about killing that little piece of unholy bastard.

'Err…he is in danger…' Seiran tried.

'For that I can assure you…'Tenjoh seethed.

'No you don't understand…aliens are after him and he might disappear any day now…and he is definitely not going to Mexico!' he desperately moved his hands in the air.

'Wha-?' Kaede said without a sound.

'What did you do?' four blazing eyes fell on him.

'Maybe something you'd wish you could…'he shrugged

'Why you little…' he grabbed the redhead's collarbone.

'Let him go!' Anis thorns restricted Mitsuru…

'My beloved lady Anis why and how would you trigger his awakening?' he melodicallly asked.

'I-I k-kissed him once more…and it just happened…'

'Lies!' Mutsuki seethed. 'His stench is all over this place…he spent the night here…'

'No he didn't..' she tried once more.

'You're wearing his shirt…' his voice low, as he moved threateningly close. '…did you sleep with him?' he clenched his jaw.

'Back off.' Kaede pulled Anis away, and stood in front of her, making himself a barrier between the black knight and his dominion.

'Don't push it dog it's a miracle you're still alive!' his eyes blazing, as he took a grip at Kaede's shirt.

Before the other boy could even answer, Anis yelled. 'Stop! Nothing happened, alright? It's true i had him over for the night…but…but only because I needed to talk to him…and i kissed him. That's all…nothing happened' her voice trailed off as she looked down. She couldn't stand all of this. That's what she was afraid of when she refused to say that she loved him, that's why at the beginning she wouldn't admit it-not even to turned to him only to see his eyes sadder than ever. It was as if he was saying to her if that's how you want it.

'She is right…nothing-we did nothing.' His voice coarse, as he shoved Mutsukis hand off him. 'If you cant bring yourselves to believe me, at least believe her, she is your dominion after all.' He walked towards the door and stopped upon touching the door stood there for mere seconds, as if he expected her to say something.

She didn't.

He left.

'So I guess lady Anis now that he is gone we could-'

'No! I am sorry to say this Tenjoh sama but I think we should just leave Anis-sama alone for the time being.' Seiran's voice full of determination.

S-seiran-kun.

The boy was standing up for her, and it seemed as if he wasn't trying to play the peacemaker any more.

'That's for her to decide…' the two other males gazed her.

'I d rather stay alone…' she nodded.

Mitsuru opened his mouth to say something, but then he stopped and proceeded to leave, along with the dark stalker. Seiran got close to her.

'Don't worry Anis sama you'll work things out as always.' He smiled.

'Where do you think he has gone off to?' she pouted.

The blue-haired boy chuckled. 'For as much as I know him, he will come back…but be prepared for some major whining.'

Anis grinned and hugged the boy. 'You're the best!'

'You taught me that i mean something Anis –sama, I owe you. You are, along with Kaede, my most cherished person.' He smiled again as he moved to the door.

'Thank you Seiran.' She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand. His words had touched her so much. The boy waved goodbye and left.

It was still ten o'clock in the morning. She was sitting on her bed cross-legged.

That boy sure has his ways on wreaking havoc in my life. Sigh. Now what got into him? I just wanted to protect him why doesn't he see? Heh and then i am the simple minded one…tsk .What should I do? For now i guess he'll be safe, if the others bought my excuse, that is. The knock on the door brought an abrupt end to her thoughts. HolyCra...ckers! He s here!

So here i go again outside of her apartment, waiting for her to open up. Damn it! How much pressure, how much sentimental build-up! Get a grip boy…and be civil…she did what she thought was the best….What the hell is taking her so long? Open up Anis, open up!. He knocked again irritated.

So…major whining huh? Just whining…don't think so! she thought to herself while sliding the door open. My hot-headed knight in all his morning glory.

He rushed in not speaking just yet. His ears were red from irritation and his hasty movements made her completely nervous.

'Why did you say that?' he stood in front of her looking straight into her depths. 'Why did you say that nothing happened? Did it mean nothing to you?' his voice husky.

'I-i…' she stuttered.

'Are you not happy with me?' the pain in his voice more than obvious.

'I never said-…'

'Are you unhappy?' he raised his voice as he took a grip at her wrist and held it in the air.

'I did it for you!' she yelled back.

'I didn't ask you to…' he let go.

'…' no answer.

'Do you want to pretend as if nothing happened? Well guess what…I can't do it! It didn't slightly matter to me whether they would torture me or kill me or whatever…I just wanted to know that I mean something to you.' His voice trailed off.

'You do! But don't you see how hard this is to me? I can't let them down, we have a mission and you better work as a team or else we're doomed…I'm just a girl…' the last sentence was a mere whisper.

He gazed her, eyes full of guilt, as a couple of tears streaked her face. He made her cry, again…He felt as a piece of junk, stupid worthless…mean. She wiped her eyes with the shirt she was wearing. His shirt.

'You drive me insane do you know that?' he pulled her tenderly into an embrace. He placed a kiss at the top of her head.

'You have mood swings, you know that huh?' she sniffled and rested her head on his chest, eyes closed.

'So do you…' he grinned and picked her face up from the chin. Linking their foreheads he sighed. Her hands slipped at his neck and she peep toed as he tilted his head to kiss her.

'Why do we have to fight the whole time?' she asked with a low voice.

'Because you're stubborn…'

'While you sir are the delightful epitome of compromise..' she raised a brow.

'Precisely…' he held her tighter. 'Hey…' she could hardly hear him. '…remember when you asked why I whisper whenever we get like this?'

'Mhhm…' she replied pressed against him.

'…I was doing it so as not to scare or piss you off…because we fight a lot and we're loud enough to disturb the dead…' he grimaced '…so the subtler I was, the longer you would stay…I fought with you cause I enjoyed your attention, at this moments I have your attention anyway so I don't need to be a jerk.' He chuckled.

'So you have a jerk mode button! Please show me where so i can terminate the function when needed…'

He grimaced and patted her head. 'No.'

'At least things went better than I thought with the others…' she snuggled. 'What will we do from now on?'

'We save the world I guess…but first…' he bit his lip.

She smiled.

'Breakfast…' they said simultaneously.
