Ash:Its in Kim's P.O.V and then in Lyn's, just so ya know.

I sighed and mumbled a apology one more time before slowly beginning to wrap Hakkai's hands up in white bandages, the burns were minor but I still felt bad... I could honestly see him dodging bombs and running over to me... We had moved quickly to a different location after the whole youkai and bomb incident. Lynto went to sit next to the still unconscious Gojyo in the back of Hakuryuu so Goku was sitting in the back with Ashurri in Kenryuu and Amber had went to sit up in the passenger seat during the ride toward the village... I felt bad his hands were burned and he had to drive Hakuryuu and the others to the next village. The inn we found was big and the inn we got was really good... well lets just say the village almost went crazy when they saw Sanzo. We got the best room actually because of that which was good, the room was really big... Had kitchen, a small living room, bedrooms and bathrooms... it was kind of like a mini house. Sanzo was sitting on the small balcony it had outside the room, reading the newspaper... Gojyo was on the couch, still asleep and Lynto was sitting on the floor next to him. Goku and Ashurri they had ran off somewhere, said something about looking around the village. Amber was sitting on the balcony with Sanzo, just staring out and looking at the village. Hakkai was smiling still and watching me as I delicatly wrapped the bandages, making sure not to hurt him or anything... His plams were turned up to they were facing me, his skin was a bit red but it would go away scince I put onitment on his hands... I couldn't believe I couldn't get out of the way, my shin bone had broken in the last possible minute and I was sent flying... and then he came and blocked me from the fire and flying rubble. I looked up at Hakkai and into his eyes before quickly looking back at his hands and what I was doing. Everytime those emerald green eyes they seemed to pull me in and make me melt, my heartrate sped up everytime I saw those eyes... I tied the last knot to the bandages and then took my hands away and looked at him with a smile. He gave a smile in return and stood up, walking over to the kitchen probably to go make everyone dinner... I was watching him walk away, staring at the bandages on his hands... only the tips of his fingers weren't covered by them... I glanced at the glass door that led out to the balcony, Sanzo and Amber were still sitting there... I could see his cigarette smoke slowly drifting up towards the sky... I looked back at Hakkai as he took out vegatables out from the fridge, I got up from my seat on the couch and walked toward him. 'Human's and Ghost's they co-exist with one another, what happens when a human falls in love with a ghost?... hands touching, so cold... yet hearts fluttering and so warm... will the darkness surround one another, like the pitch black sky swallowing the moon? The ghost's youkai... and the human's living creatures that exist with the youkai... some in fear, some in love... friendship...'... I smiled and stood next to him and picked up a knife and started to chop some carrots, helping him prepare dinner for everyone.

"Sorry again" I said while hanging my head and choping carrots..

He chuckled a bit, "You have nothing to be sorry for Kimi-chan, and I'm alright.. as long as your okay I'm alright" I felt my cheeks get hot from this, I stopped chopping carrots for a brief second and then began to chop them again... 'Kimi-chan...' I looked at him as he turned on the stove. 'As long as I'm okay...' I got that feeling like I always had, when he said my name... when he called me 'Kimiko-chan' I liked it, it made me feel special...

I picked up the chopped up carrots in my hands and dumped them into the cooking pot, "Okay 'Kai-kun" I laughed a bit at the little at the nickname I gave him and pushed his shoulder playfully... He gave me a smile and started to make some rice balls. I glanced back at Lynto and Gojyo, Gojyo was laying on his back... one arm resting on his stomach and the other on his side. A bandage on his forehead, Lynto sat next to the couch on the floor holding his brown headband in one hand and her other hand ontop of his. I looked at Hakkai and whispered..

"When do you think Gojyo will wake up, he's been out for a while"... He started to pat the rice ball and give it a triangle shape, he stopped and then looked at me.

"Well it could be a few hours, he hit the ground hard" he whispered back, I nodded in reply and started to help prepare the meal with him again.

"We were lucky actually... Sanzo got Amber out of the way, Ash and Goku were thrown into a bush so we didn't get hurt too much" I said. Hakkai nodded and finished the last rice ball.

"Oh and Hakkai-kun... I'm glad your alright too" I gave a smile and he looked at me with those emerald eyes, a smile appeared on his face. 'That smile... those eyes... they always manage to make me smile and my heartrate go up... he has that effect on me...' I placed a hand ontop of his for a second before going back to work.

I sat on the floor silently watching Gojyo and waiting for him to wake up, I was worried about him. I reached my hand up and tousled my brown hair a bit while staring at his face. So calm and peaceful while he slept... I looked at the piece of gauze that was held down on his cut by medical tape, if he hadn't protected me then I would be most likely dead.. 'Gojyo...' Gently I rubbed my thumb against his hand and smiled a tiny bit, he was alive though... just asleep.. and he would wake up soon probably. I reached up and brushed my finger tips lightly over his cheek, inching my way up to the gauze. Lightly I placed my hand on the gauze and looked at him as he slept, I could hear him breathing lightly his chest slowly moving up and down with each inhale and exhale. I could hear Hakkai and Kimiko making dinner in the kitchen as well, the sound of them taking out pots and pans was heard from the room. I stood up straight and too my hands off his hand and the gauze, I leaned toward him and then laid my head on his chest where his heart would be. My eyes closed slightly at the sound of it... the sound of his heart inside of his chest thumping at a steady pace, the hum of it was making me a bit sleepy. My right arm laid across his and my ear was pressed to where his heart would be inside his chest, his skin was warm to the touch and it relaxed me for some reason.. I closed my eyes and laid there for minutes just listening to his heartbeat, it was soothing. I could also clearly hear his breathing, it echoed from his chest and into my ears... the fact that his heart was beating strongly and breathing... My eyes were still closed when I felt a hand lightly be placed on the back of my head. My eyes opened in a flash and I turned my head to look at Gojyo, his hand was on the back of my head and his crimson eyes opened a bit. I smiled at him.

"Gojyo your awake"! I moved my arms and wrapped them around his torso, I felt his arms snake around me and hug me back. The smile stayed on my face but it faded a tiny bit. I buried my face into his shirt and mumbled. "You didn't have to save me you know... you got hurt and stuff".

I could hear him laugh lightly, "I didn't want you to get hurt so I moved my ass and got ya... besides... I would never forgive myself if you got hurt and I could have done something to stop it" I turned my head a bit to look at him, he leaned down a bit and felt his lips softly press against my forehead. A blush slowly creeped up to my cheeks and I smiled before snuggling into him a bit. His warms arms still wrapped around me, his heartbeat still ringing in my ears. He smiled and closed his eyes, I watched him carefully.

"You protect me... and I'll protect you" I whispered softly, looking at his face. The corner of his lips tugged and turned into a smile that made my heart flutter. I closed my eyes...
