"Talking"

Chapter 7

"Kyou!" Yuki stated as he stood up, but Mikoto looked straight at Yuujiro.

"I got them all to agree." Yuujiro stated. "I…"He was cut off when Mikoto fell forward. Yuujiro ran up to catch him. Yuki was not far behind him.

"Don't go Yuujiro." Mikoto pleaded as he stared up at him.

"Kyou, what's the matter!" Yuki asked, his voice panicking.

"Shishou…bracelet…Yuki…he wants out." Mikoto muttered. "I'm so tired…worried 'bout Yuujiro…"

"I'll send my…I'll get it for you…" Yuki stated. "Where did you put it?"

"Shishou has it in his dojo…it's hard to miss…"Mikoto yawned, as Yuki scurried out of the room. Yuujiro had to admit he was acting like a mouse. "Yuujiro could have been hurt. My Family is not safe. Not for normal people."

"We were just fine…I wanted to surprise you at school…but why did you come here…you're still sick. You need to be resting."

"I'm not sick…just tired…"Mikoto muttered as he tried to stand up, but Yuujiro's arms prevented him from doing so.

"He woke up suddenly and wanted to speak with you. Since we couldn't get in contact with you by your cell phone, we tried your dorm. You weren't there, so Mikoto told me we had to go to the city…when I said you'd be back later, he simply said by then it might be too late…even sick, I had trouble keeping up with him as he suddenly took to running towards the station. We got there just after the doors had closed. Mikoto then grabbed me and we jumped onto of the train before it could pull out. Let me tell you, you haven't ridden a train until you ride on a train. I thought I was going to die, but Mikoto had perfect balance for being half asleep the whole time…" Akira paused when he noticed the shocked looks. "It really was kind of safe…"

"Mikoto…when you feel better, I'm going to kill you." Yuujiro growled. He felt fear grip his insides. Mikoto had been so worried about him that even in this state he had gone to find him…he could have gotten himself killed.

"I was safe…"Mikoto stated as he gave another yawn. He suddenly had more energy. "Rain stopped." He started to struggle a little harder from Yuujiro's arm. When he was finally free he stretched his arms over his head. "About time…anymore rain today and I thought I'd slip into a coma."

"You look exhausted." Tohru stated as he stared at his red-haired friend.

"Not much we can do about that, I'm afraid...Yuki went to get my bracelet right…He'll need help." Mikoto stated as he stood up cracking his back.

"You aren't going anywhere…" A new voice called out.

"Hatori" Mikoto stated.

"I thought we had more time." Hatori replied.

"Nope…" Mikoto gave Hatori a sad smile.

"Stop it…why don't you get angry anymore." Hatori lit a cigarette. "I should check you over…just in case."

"Don't start turning into the pervert Hari." Mikoto growled. "I'm tired yes, but I'm perfectly fine…"

"We don't know for sure…"Hatori stated.

"What is he talking about Mikoto?" Yuujiro asked. Mikoto sighed as turned towards his boyfriend.

"You might have met my family…but you wouldn't understand…but…"

"We think Mikoto is going to die in three years." Hatori stated. "This event supports it."

"Hundreds of people get tired when it rains." Mikoto argued.

"To the point you collapsed. Shigure told me about yesterday." Mikoto fell silent.

"It won't happen…"Mikoto replied. "Things are different now…"

"Not that much…you can't control…"

"Just stay out of it…"

"You just sent Yuki to get your bracelet."

"It doesn't mean anything. It has sentimental value."

"I don't know whether to hit you or cry at that comment." Hatori responded in defeat. "Where is it?"

"Shishou has it. When they came for me…he took it…he's kept it all this time."

"You know better…"

"I didn't visit…but I did observe…" Mikoto looked away. "I'm not going to die…I didn't give up then, I'm not going to give up now." Mikoto stated. "Yuujiro, Tohru, Akira…please stay here with Hatori…I know now that he won't hurt you, I'm going to help Yuki out. I'll be back in less than half an hour." With that Mikoto left, not looking back at any of the others in the room. As he passed Hatori, he heard Hatori say.

"But Kyou…you did give up."

Mikoto made it outside of the University when saw Yuki coming up the road. Next to him was a large black dog.

"Spot and you taking a walk Yuki?" Mikoto smiled.

"I have never felt worse Kyou." Yuki stated evenly "it was in a shrine…dedicated to all of us…you could have warned me about it."

"I don't want Yuujiro to know about this aspect of us…I don't want to lose him to this insanity." Mikoto stated.

"I don't think you will Kyou." Shigure said from Yuki's side.

"I wouldn't talk if I was you Shigure, Dogs aren't supposed to talk." Mikoto replied, pretending to ignore what he had just said. "Yuki…why did you call Hatori?"

"You collapse…who else was I supposed to call?" Yuki shrugged. "Let's head back in…oh, yeah, here Kyou…you do know that once you put it on…"

"If I take it off, I'll transform…of course I know." Mikoto responded. "This isn't my first life you know." He took the bracelet and placed it on his wrist. He could immediately feel the pressure to transform into his second form lessoning. "But if Hatori's right, then I have less than three years."

"Let's hope he's wrong then." Yuki stated. "Shigure do you have cloths with you?"

"No…but I'm heading home…tell Hatori that won't you."

"Will do." With that Shigure made his way down the street. He was half way down when he heard Mikoto yell.

"Beware of the dog catchers." If Shigure had fingers he would have thrown up the middle one.

Mikoto and Yuki re-entered Yuki's office.

"I thought you'd be gone for longer." Hatori stated.

"Yuki and Spot were on their way back." Mikoto replied.

"Spot?" Hatori asked, this caused both Mikoto and Yuki to smile.

"It's what Tohru called him…" Hatori tried to fight back a grin.

"But he's a solid black lab…" Hatori stated.

"Named Spot." Mikoto grinned. "Don't worry, I told him to be beware of the dog catchers on the way home." That did cause Hatori to chuckle.

"Mikoto, sit down, and I'll get us some tea…the three of us haven't had a decent conversation in ages…how are your classes going?" Yuki asked. Mikoto took a seat next to Yuujiro.

"They are going well Yuki…especially now that I'm no longer a Princess."

"Thank God my school didn't have that system."

"You would have definitely been picked…Prince Yuki." Mikoto grinned.

"Don't call me that…"

"Although you did dress like a girl that one time…" Mikoto continued. He then looked at his friends. "Although the dress was nowhere near as nice as Aizawa's were, at least those dresses weren't dreadful to look at."

"I never did get to see a picture of you dressed up." Yuki replied.

"As you won't. It's bad enough when your brother catches us." Mikoto frowned.

"Ayame can be a pain the ass sometimes, but his heart is usually in the right place." Hatori defended.

"Well he is making Kagura's wedding dress." Mikoto added.

"Really? Has she set a date yet?" Yuki asked.

"In May sometime." Mikoto replied. "She wants a spring wedding."

"Kisa and Hiro's were in the Spring too, wasn't it?" Yuki asked.

"Yeah…but spring means rebirth, so I guess they wanted to play with the irony of the statement. I think though that Haru and Rin will do theirs in the Fall…of what year, I'm not sure."

"You would think they would have gotten married by now." Yuki stated.

"Rin's only 22…They are still young." Mikoto replied. "Remember Haru's older than Rin now."

"I guess…I keep forgetting that you are only 16." Yuki replied.

"It happens." Mikoto replied.

"What about you Yuujiro…Tohru…Akira…how are your classes treating you." Yuki asked. Tohru and Akira immediately started conversing with Yuki. Mikoto sent him a look of gratitude as he brought his right hand over to his left wrist and fiddled with the bracelet.

"It doesn't look bad on you." Yuujiro stated quietly.

"I know." Mikoto replied. "It's not my first time wearing them."

"What do you mean?" Yuujiro asked.

"Yuujiro…inside of me lives an angry creature…these beads are the only thing that keeps it locked up. I know it sounds crazy, but they stop it from trying to take over…and as long as it represses the creature, the less strain I put my body, and the less the rain will continue to affect me."

"I'm not sure if I fully understand Mikoto…but I do know that I could care less about that creature, all I care about is that you are happy and safe…so promise me, no more jumping on top of moving trains."

"Don't knock it until you've tried it…besides I always land on my feet." Mikoto replied. "I am a cat after all."

"I always knew you were very cat-like." Yuujiro replied. "Especially since you purr." Mikoto blushed.

"I don't purr." Mikoto denied, as Yuujiro just chuckled. He reached down and grabbed Mikoto's left hand. He wanted to show that he didn't mind the presence of the bracelet. He didn't realize that both Hatori and Yuki exchanged looks of relief during their conversations with Tohru and Akira.

Two months flew by and Kagura's wedding came. Tohru, Akira and Yuujiro were all invited, even though they had to admit they were confusing at why they were invited. Mikoto simply stated that the rest of his family wanted to get to know his friends and his boyfriend. The Wedding was small; Kagura's side simply had the same people that Kenji had to get permission from and Mikoto's three friends. Kenji's side on the other hand had several more people. Yuujiro had to admit, that Kagura's side looked slightly depressing compared to the other half, but he could feel that there was more joy within Kagura's side then there was in Kenji's side. The wedding was beautiful with Mikoto giving Kagura away. With a simple kiss on the cheek, he sat down next to Yuujiro in the front row. The reception was slightly larger to include many of Kagura's work friends. Tohru, Akira and Yuujiro noticed that all the male members of Kagura's family were all standoffish towards all the women that came near them. Yuujiro decided he'd ask Mikoto about it later. They all also noticed that neither Megumi nor Makoto were also at the reception nor the wedding. After stories being told…the funniest being about Mikoto and Kagura when they were children and Kagura had told Mikoto that she'd drop a bolder on him if he didn't marry her. While many of Kagura's family laughed at the story. Yuujiro didn't think that Kenji's family believed it was true. He himself didn't believe it was entirely true either, especially after seeing how delicate Kagura looked like. Walking along the edge of the reception all Yuujiro looked around for Mikoto. He spotted him dancing with Kisa. Standing against the wall, he watched as the two of them dance. He did admit, they were both very graceful. Suddenly he heard it.

"I don't know why he married her…there are many others who come from better families." Yuujiro turned and noticed Kenji's mother and aunt.

"I know…did you notice that not even her parents showed up. Show you how little they value her…not a single member of her blood family was there. The child who gave her away wasn't even a sibling." Kenji's aunt stated.

"She doesn't eat pork…did you know. The first time she came over she stated that she could not eat the meal I made because it had pig in it….something about feeling bad about the animal."

"How awful, no sense of decency…how could you ever approve."

"Kenji told me that if I forced him to choose he'd choose the vile woman." Yuujiro clenched his fists, he hated that they were insulting Kagura. Over the past few weeks he had gotten to know the woman better, and had become good friends with her. Hearing this, he just grew angry. Turning to the two woman he interrupted what Kenji's mother was about to say by simply stating.

"You two are such horrible women to insult such a nice girl…she is honestly in love with your son, and all you can do is make fun of her because of her family. If you didn't notice, the people that make up her family aren't ordinary people. Many of them are world famous…and they all care about her. So I'd suggest that you keep your mouth shut about her…" With that Yuujiro walked off. He'd rather stand next to the socially awkward Kureno, then be next to those women. The rest of reception went without a hitch. As the people started to leave, only immediate family stayed behind to help the newlyweds with the clean up. Yuujiro, Tohru, Kisa, Momiji and Hiro were talking with the caterers. Hatori, Shigure, Ritsu and Ayame were making sure all the drunken guests were sent home alright. Haru, Rin, Yuki and Kureno were helping move the drunken guests. Akira, Mikoto, Kagura and Kenji were talking with Kenji's mother and helping her move the gifts to her car.

"Honestly Hikari…" Kenji's mother exclaimed. "How come none of your family seems to have left? This party isn't until no one is left."

"Okaa-sama…they are only helping with the clean up." Kagura stated as she picked up one of the heavier gifts without realizing.

"How…" Kenji's mother started, she knew what was in the box, and there was no way that a person as small as Kagura could carry it on her own. "Never mind, let's go…we don't have all night." Kagura winced at the harsh treatment. When Kenji opened his mouth to say something, Kagura just shook her head.

"Kagura…" Mikoto started.

"Don't Kyou." Kagura stated simply. "Just help me with the gifts…you too Akira…Kenji." The three men nodded and picked up several more of the gifts. They followed Kagura outside and helped Kenji's mother place the gifts away in the car. They had stepped away from the car, Kenji and Akira had crossed the street already going back for a second load, when suddenly Kenji's mother screamed. Looking quickly, Kagura and Mikoto realized that a car was heading for the three of them. Without thinking Kagura pushed the woman out of the way.

"Kagura Change!" Mikoto shouted as the car slammed into where the two of them stood. They both could hear the tires squeal as they scurried into the sewers. They could hear Kenji, Kenji's mother and Akira screaming.

As soon as the people inside heard the screams, they stopped what they were doing and ran out. Yuujiro felt his heart stop when he saw the car about to hit Mikoto and Kagura. The car came to a stop inches from where Kenji's mother had been tossed. Yuujiro had a feeling that even though she had said those horrible things about Kagura, she had regretted it.

"Yuki! Haru, move the car, we have to find them!" Shigure shouted, taking the lead. Yuki and Haru both started to lift the car in hopes of moving it. Yuujiro knew that if the situation was different, then he would have been surprise to see Rin and Kureno run over and the four of them lift the car and move it several feet away. Hatori had already moved toward Kenji's mother checking her for damage. Kenji was looking franticly for Kagura.

"Where is she?"

"Did they transform?" Kisa asked anxiously as she and Hiro entered the crash site.

"I've found Kyou's cloths…he did." Ritsu stated as he held up a shirt.

"What about Kagura's?" Ayame asked.

"Here they are." Hiro state as he held up the blouse Kagura had been wearing.

"Any…any sign of road kill?" Shigure asked.

"None…there's no blood either. Neither was injured." Yuki stated, he ignored everyone's sighs of relief as he pulled open the door of the car. The man inside seemed pretty banged up, but Yuki couldn't resist the urge to punch him.

"Where are they then…"

"Guys…we're kind of stuck here." A voice called out.

"Kagura!" Kenji exclaimed as he looked around for the voice. "Where are you?"

"Down here." Yuujiro felt himself breath when he heard Mikoto's voice.

"Where's here?" Kenji asked, but already he noticed that Kagura's family members were looking at the sewer drainage. Yuujiro could tell the voices were coming from there but, he didn't know how, in the matter of a second, the two of them could have made their way down there.

"It's much deeper than we expected…plus I dropped my bracelet." Mikoto stated.

"We also need some cloths, or at least a blanket." Kagura stated. "You would think we'd be used to being naked around one another by now."

"Well we haven't had an accident like this before." Mikoto stated.

"How far down are you?" Yuki asked as he knelt by the drain.

"About five feet." Mikoto stated.

"Let me think for a moment…someone look for Kyou's bracelet. Kisa get me some blankets…and Yuujiro…get all of our ties together and start knotting them. We'll use them to pull them out." Yuki ordered. Yuujiro nodded and pulled off his own tie. He then started to knot all the ties he could get together.

"Here…Yuki." Akira stated as he held out Mikoto's bracelet.

"Thank you Akira…Kyou, Kagura are either of you injured?" Yuki suddenly thought about asking.

"There's broken glass down here." Kagura stated.

"Hatori! They are going to need help once they are out…Momiji ask the hotel for a first aid kit and to call the police." Yuki ordered.

"Shigure…"

"They were both trained in martial arts and they jumped away before the car hit…they ended up landing in some broken glass…that's the story everyone…understood. Don't change from it." Shigure stated as he knelt beside Yuki.

"What's exactly going on here?" Kenji asked. Everyone could see he was on the edge of hysteria.

"Yuki…get him out of here." Kagura stated. "I…I don't want him to see me like this."

"Kenji…how about you go…"

"No. What the hell is going on with my wife?" Kenji asked. "Why is she trapped naked in a drain that she shouldn't have even been able to fit, nor can she get out of when it's only five feet high?"

"I'd like to know the same thing." Yuujiro stated as he came up behind them. " Mikoto is about 5'6 as it is…"

"Not anymore…we're lucky if they are one foot." Yuki muttered as he grabbed the ties from Yuujiro's hand. "Just don't freak out." He muttered to the two men. "Kyou, Kagura they won't leave, but I want you to grab the tie…I'll pull you out." Yuki slowly lowered the ties. "Do you have it?" A muffle sound came from drain. "No need for the language Kyou." A muffled "Fuck you" came from the drain. "Or from you either Kagura." Yuki chuckled as he slowly started to bring them out. As soon as Shigure saw the first one, he pulled it out.

"It's Kagura." He announced as Kisa placed a blanket over two of them. A small orange head popped out next. Yuki let go of their makeshift rope and grabbed it. Yuujiro could see the body of a cat before Yuki shield him away from them. Rin draped a blanket over them, there were two pops, and Shigure and Yuki moved away from the knelt figures.

Yuujiro could see the horrible gashes on Mikoto's and Kagura's cheeks. The two of them were crouched on their tip toes, with their backs to them as they rearrange the blankets into makeshift clothing.

"Our feet are cut up." Kagura stated. "As are our hands." She held out her hand that had blood oozing out of the wounds.

"Other than that, we should be fine…" Mikoto stated.

"Thanks to Kyou…he got me to the drain before one of the wheels could hit me." Kagura stated with a slightly haunted look in her eye. Everyone winced.

"How did you get in there?" Yuujiro asked, as he inspected Mikoto's hand. It was in the same state as Kagura's. He had a feeling their feet weren't all that better.

"It's complicated." Mikoto stated as he looked away.

"Why haven't they been carried inside…I need them clothed in two minutes. The police are nearly here…you two heard the story right?" Hatori asked. "I'll quickly bind your feet. They'll ask questions if they were to see them. You'll deal with the pain alright. I'll see to them when the police have left."

"Yeah, we know the drill…cloths?" Mikoto asked. Kenji and Yuujiro were taken aback at how quickly Kagura and Kyou changed into their old cloths. Then standing on their tip toes tried to make it back inside before Kenji and Yuujiro picked up their respective loved ones and carried them inside. They barely were able to sit them down when Hatori place a belt in each of their mouth and doused their feet with hydrogen peroxide. Tears started to stream down Kagura's face as she tried to quiet her scream. Hatori then quickly and efficiently wrapped bandages around each foot and placed their sock back on. He then slipped on their shoes and dusted his pants. He took the belts back and tossed them under a table just as two police officers walked into the room. Yuujiro watched the whole scene in horror. To his utmost horror, both officers motioned for Mikoto and Kagura to follow the so that they could tell them about what happened. He could feel the pain vibrate off them as they stood and walked the distance with the officers. Yuujiro rounded on Hatori and was about to yell at him when he saw the pain in the man's eye.

"Officers…Hikari and Mikoto are both my patient…I would prefer that I was there with them so that you don't harm their delicate mental state."

Yuujiro saw Yuki give a slight wince at the wording but turned his focus on Mikoto. What had started out as a wonderful day seemed to grow all the more dreadful as the day progressed.

Once the officers left with the driver in custody; Kenji, his mother, Akira, Tohru and Yuujiro turned on the family.

"Why did we have to lie about how Kagura and Kyou were in the drain?" Kenji asked.

"Because we can't have them asking questions about us." Yuki stated.

"We'd be in danger if people found out." Kagura replied from her seat.

"Not mention how much we are already risking just by being together…thirteen people is a rather large group." Shigure added.

"Especially if the fourteenth is out there hunting us down." Mikoto stated. "Please if not one of you tell me that you noticed that this happened the very day Kagura got married I'd drink Leak soup. Something like this…the car was aiming for Kagura and me…and it happened on what should be the happiest day of Kagura's life…who is it that we know that wants our utmost misery? If you've forgotten…"

"None of us have forgotten Kyou." Haru growled as he grabbed Rin's hand.

"The coincidence is not a lie." Hatori stated from Kagura's feet as he started to pull the broken class from it. Yuujiro tried not to think about the fact that they had been maneuvering with broken glass still in their feet. "But the question is…if it is really him…who he was aiming at Kyou or Kagura…I mean he never really went after you Kagura or Ritsu or Momiji." Hatori stated.

"Yuki and I got the brunt end of his…anger." Mikoto added.

"Nice way of putting it Kyou." Yuki muttered. "More like us to love only him and no one else…otherwise he'd kill us."

"Or just want me dead for breathing." Mikoto stated.

"Hold it…you are saying someone tried to kill you…it wasn't an accident?" Akira asked.

"Yeah…it's a possibility. Especially considering the man wasn't drunk." Ayame stated. "Plus there is only one person we know of who could pull it off, and something like this would fit his category perfectly."

"Then how about you explain to us how you got into the drain…I didn't see either of you come out…but I did see a cat." Yuujiro stated. He wanted some answers, but at the pained look in Mikoto's eyes he was starting to regret his harsh tones.

"We…"Kagura started but even she looked pain as she stared at Kenji who was looking back at her.

"All of us can transform into animals." Momiji stated. "We can only change into a specific one, but that's what they did."

"Kagura and Kyou knew they couldn't get away in time so the transform and looked for safety…unfortunately there was glass down there, so it wasn't all that safe to begin with." Rin added.

"Transform into animals?" Kenji asked in shock.

"Mikoto you change into a cat don't you?" Yuujiro stated more than asked. "That's why everyone refers to you as a cat." Mikoto nodded. "Than Kagura…"

"A boar…"Kagura replied quietly. "We've always turned into these animals, ever since we've been born…only we've only just really got control over them."

"What do you mean?"Tohru asked.

"When we were younger," Yuki explained. "If we ever put our bodies under extreme stress such as if we had a cold, or if we were hugged by a member of the opposite sex that didn't have this…ability…we'd transform. Now however we can control it, and transform when we want to…or need to."

"I guess that makes sense." Akira stated. "That's why all of you were hesitant towards the other people at the party…I mean it's a conditioned response…also why you had us make up that story. You can't let people know you can do this, or you might get thrown into a lab and tested on."

"Exactly." Hatori stated.

"The only thing I don't get is why, if none of you are related to one another…and I mean by blood, how is it that you all change into different animals…and why is there only thirteen of you?" Tohru asked.

"We were once related by blood." Shigure stated. "But we aren't anymore…and think about it…what do twelve of our animals have in common?"

"Kisa's the tiger…Hiro's the sheep…Haru's the bull…"Tohru started naming.

"Roster, Monkey, Rabbit…they are all a part of the Chinese zodiac…well except for the cat…" Yuujiro stated.

"Because the rat lied to him about when the party was." Mikoto stated. Yuujiro stared at him in shock.

"You are all the manifestations of the Chinese Zodiac?" Yuujiro asked. "And the fourteenth?"

"The god who held the party." Yuki stated.

"I don't believe this…"Kenji stated as he sat down. Kagura quickly took his hands in hers, only to give a slight wince as the cuts on her hands were touched.

"Kenji…I'm still the same person…" Kagura stated as she looked up with pleading eyes.

"No…"Kenji paused, and then rested his head on hers. "You are some sort of deity aren't you…you all are…my wife isn't human…she's a demi-goddess." Kagura threw her head back and stared at him in shock. Suddenly she let out a chuckle, and soon all of the other members of the zodiac were laughing. After several moments Kagura smiled and whipped a tear from her eyes.

"Kenji…I'm no demi-goddess or anything like that…I'm just a normal human who has had a curse put on her family for centuries and just happened to be born two months two early." Kagura stated. "I…"Kagura couldn't help but to start laughing again.

"That was good Kenji…" Mikoto laughed.

"Us…demi-gods…" Yuki laughed. "More like demi-devils." This sent them all into another wave of laughter.

"I don't think we've ever been called that before." Rin stated. "I like you all the more Kenji."

"I don't…"

"I didn't mean to laugh at you Kenji…but really, why would you think we were demi-gods?" Kagura asked.

"You're super strong…all of you are beautiful, you all…" Kenji trailed off.

"We have just been given characteristics of the animal we represent." Mikoto stated. "Kagura just happens to be strong…if you put Yuki and cheese in the same room, it'll be gone in seconds."

"Not true..." Yuki denied. "Like you who like to sunbath on the roof of buildings…"

"Nothing wrong with getting some sun you Kuso Nezumi…At least I don't look like a Goth boy every time I wear black."

"Says the boy who spent four months fighting bears. Baka Neko." Yuki responded.

"I wasn't fighting bears…you hentai inu…why did you spread lies about me?" Mikoto growled.

"Because the two of you were always breaking my house." Shigure shrugged. "You go missing for four months, what was I suppose to assume happened?"

"Normal people don't assume fighting bears!" Mikoto replied before taking a deep breath and slouching further into his seat. "You all make me so tired."

"No…that's probably the blood loss." Hatori stated stoically as he pulled some glass from Mikoto's feet. Yuujiro was amazed that he hadn't noticed that Hatori had already finished with Kagura. It was then that the words clicked.

"Blood loss?" Yuujiro asked worried.

"Yeah…seems like the glass might have nicked an artery vein and that's why his shoes were filled with blood. If I'd known that, I would have started with him first, rather than Kagura…but don't worry." Hatori explained.

"Hatori!" Mikoto scolded, he then turned to Yuujiro. "Don't worry…I'll be fine…I've had worse…that was supposed to make you feel better Yuujiro…not make you feel worse." Mikoto watched how quickly Yuujiro had paled while he was talking and became worried about the other boy. "Yuujiro, why don't you sit down?" Yuujiro looked around and noticed that the nearest chair was several feet away from Mikoto.

"I'll stand…" Yuujiro stated as he squeezed Mikoto's wrist. Yuujiro would much rather be holding Mikoto's hand, but as Mikoto's hand was still bleeding, he knew it wasn't an option. While the police had been asking them questions, Hatori, has spent that time taking the glass from their hands, and arms. Mikoto looked at the brunet up and down before nodding.

Hope you like
