Hello to my dedicated readers! I would like to apologize to the long hiatus this story has been undergoing. I know I always say this but I'm going to attempt to update faster, but of course that is if I could get my creative juice flowing! Well this is just a filler that is explaining the bedding agreement in the previous chapter, it's kind of meaningless but it's adorable in its own way. Well enjoy!

Chapter 7: Stormy Weather Flashback

A loud sound echoed throughout the Shido Suru clan's domain as rain pour down upon the land. There was a flash of light, which was soon followed by a loud roar that nearly shook the entire house.

A little girl whimpered softly as she pulled the blanket down so she could escape from her bed. Rushing toward the back door in her room she opened and closed it before running next door and repeating the action when she reached her desired destination.

"Youko-chan," she whispered softly. Her wet silver tinted azure hair plastered to her innocent face as she jumped when another crash of thunder startled her. She whimpered again as she ran toward his bed.

Her only response was Youko turning away, murmuring a soft "go away" before pulling the comforter over his head and falling back into his deep slumber. Her fear subsided, only to invoke her anger. Her lovely rose-colored eyes darken to a near wine-red color.

A frown appeared on her face before she darkly whispered his name. The whisper was just out of consideration and respect for Auntie Kikuyu, otherwise she would of course yell out his name before she would affect any harm to him.

"Youko…"

Opening his sleepy golden eyes, he drowsily peeked over his comforter and looks in Miyouka's direction. He quickly woke up in a start, pulling down his comforter he looked at her in surprise.

"Miyouka-chan it must be at least 1 o'clock, why are you still…"

He stopped when a roar of thunder broke the silence of the night, silently he watched as fear crept into his best friend's eyes. Sighing, he motioned toward his clothing chest and then pulled back his white comforter as a silent invitation to join him.

Squealing in happiness she leaped toward the area he motioned and pulled out one of his long shirts. Miyouka sprinted toward the silk changing screen and exchanging her articles of clothing for his. She then walked over to the bedside table and reached for the brush situated on top. Seating herself on the edge of the bed she slowly brushed the damped hair, allowing it become untangled while it slowly started to air. She continued the motion for a few moments before replacing the brush on the table and lying down next to Youko and pulling the comforter over her body.

There were a few awkward minutes in which both children didn't know what to do or say. It took at least a few more moments before Miyouka finally brought forth the courage to move closer to his warm body. She eventually gave in and moved even closer, allowing their bodies to touch. She continued to snuggle closer to his warmth.

Youko laid awkwardly on his back, not knowing what to do. Should he pull her closer or should he just turn his back on her and tried to get some much needed sleep. He continued to contemplate his decision when he felt her turn to her side, placed a arm around his waist and rested her head on his chest. Silently he breathed in the scent radiating from her hair. It smelled like peonies, he decided that he likes the scent of peonies.

Another roar of thunder echoed from outside the room, causing a weak whimper to escape from Miyouka's throat. He shifted his body slightly, pulling her closer and wrapping an arm securely around her waist.

"Thank you Youko-chan."

His only answer was a brief kiss on top of her damp hair.

The pounding of the thunderstorm outside began to fade as the two children began to drift off into sleep. Even though it was never outwardly stated, it was established that anytime she needed a place of reassurance or a safe haven from the storm, she was always welcomed into his room and in his arms.


So tell me what you think! I would really enjoy hearing from everyone, it's not the much awaited continuation but it's something right? Remember to review!

I would like to thank the following and apologize to all for the long wait!
