Demon Guardians

When Kamina woke up, the first thing he saw was Danny lying upon his bare chest under the crisp, hotel bed sheets. He began to panic big style, and threw the sheets off in a fluster, to reveal Danny fully clothed. He let out the breath that he'd been holding in. The younger boy shifted at the abrupt movement, stirred from his sleep.
"Mmnn…" When he saw his face was pressed against Kamina's shirtless chest, he felt his cheeks flame scarlett, and he sat up quickly, babbling apologies.
"Da-"
"I'm sorry, so sorry, sorry, sorry, I'm sorry, I-"
"It's alright," Kamina shot a hand out to catch his chin and gave him a winning smile. "I should be the one apologising to you for waking you, after you felt ill yesterday…"
Yesterday….
What happened yesterday? Then it hit Kamina like a kick in the groin. He remembered everything and his own cheeks went bright pink as he lowered his hand. Yet already, he was compelled to think and look and touch the water guardian. No, he thought firmly. Let him get his head around this, act calm, keep cool- "Kamina-kun, does taht make us a couple?"

"NO! I REFUSE! NO WAY, Naminé!" Minuki had said, throwing herself onto the spare bed, fuming.
"Minuki-chan, please-"
"NO!"
They were arguing over the sleeping arrangements between the two rooms.
It was supposed to be Naminé and Bianca, Kaiza and Minuki. But the red head was not having it at all. Kaiza wasn't too thrilled at the idea either but had given in because she wanted to please Naminé-sempai.
"Why can't Bianca and I share? She's my junior!"
Naminé frowned slightly, hands on hips. Her hair was tied up in a towel because she'd just stepped out of the shower. Another towel was wrapped over her body but she had to pinch it in with her arms which made it difficult to look strict.
"But Kaiza-chan here is Kamina's junior." she said.
Minuki scowled and folded her arms, socks scuffing the soft beige carpet.
"So?"
"You're not suggesting that she go sleep with Kamina do you?"
Minuki blanched. Kaiza's eyes sparkled at the thought and Bianca blushed.
"C'mon Lion girl, we're rooming." Minuki snapped, dragging the lightning guardian into the next room with a dark expression. It was so shady in fact, Naminé didn't try and say goodnight. "She'll have my head for this," she sighed, staring after her friend with a small smile on her lips. "Just means all the more Bianca for me!" she chirped, throwing her wet arms around the blonde who smiled back.
This wasn't bad at all.
"Minuki-chan? Minuki-chan? Minuki-chan!"
"GODDAMIT WHAT?"
"You're on my side of the bed…"
"Screw it!" the devil hissed, throwing her pillow to the floor and curling up in a frustrated ball.
"Night Minuki-chan."
"BRAT."

The sound of running water was drowning out Kamina's pacing from the other side of the door.
Thank god.
Were they a couple?
A couple?
Was he ready?
What would haappen?
What did he want to happen?
Argh! This was insane!
He clutched his head, toussled his hair and bit his lip. A nervous wreck, much?
He decided that Minuki's company would calm him down. Heck, a good dose of Kaiza-chan sounded good right now. He scribbled something on a bit of paper for Danny because the bath water was too loud for any sound to get across.
Then he slipped out of the door and down the corridor to the girl's rooms.
A sleepy looking Ruskow passed him and he stood shocked for a moment or two. When the man noticed him staring he stuttered a 'Good morning' before walking on quickly.
Wow, he thought once he was a good bit away. The wolf had been walking with only a light cotton shirt on and white jeans. Both were unbuttoned, revealing a hefty six pack and pale chest and the hem of his boxer shorts.
When he came to the girl's door he realised too soon he had only a pair of jeans on himself and his hair was still a mess. He sighed. Too late to go back now. He knocked and the door opened before he'd finished.
It was of course, Kaiza, dressed and ready to go. "Kamina-kun! Good morning!" she beamed.
Kamina grinned back, realising he liked her hyper yet polite morning greetings.
"Hey, cub, Minuki around?"
She held the door open and he strolled in. He was met by scents of women's deodorant and fresh clothes. It was bright and clean and welcoming.
Wonder what our room looks like? He thought.
"Minuki-chan's drying her hair in the other room and Naminé-sempai and Bianca-chan went down to book flight tickets for this afternoon," Kaiza explained, folding a t-shirt and placing it carefully in her suitcase.
"That's right we leave today!" Kamina thought a moment. "Then Danny didn't get to see much of Paris, huh?"
Kaiza's face fell. "Oh no you're right! That's not fair!"
He smiled at her sense of injustice.
"What are you crying about now, Kaiza?" Minuki asked exasperatedely, walking in to meet them. Kamina was taken aback slightly when he saw her in a red bra and khaki shorts. "Morning," she winked at him.
"Danny-kun hasn't seen a lot of Paris, so I thought it was a shame seeing as we had a great time yesterday."
Kamina and Minuki exchanged glances.
"Yeah, it was fun."
"But, I have a feeling the next hot spot will be even better for Danny." Naminé was standing in the doorway in denim three quarter lengths and a sleevless top. She flashed the group an envelope containing, Kamina assumed, plane tickets. "We're off in three hours, so grab Danny and meet us downstairs for a surprise."
"Huh-eh-what?" Kamina was saying as Naminé bundled him out of the door. "Naminé; where are we going?" he half laughed.
She shot him a dazzling smile that made his legs turn to jelly. "LONDON."

"Danny! Come on, get out of the bathroom and get your clothes on!" Kamina called, shoving his things into his rucksack and helping load up Danny's things too. Kerocho was already humming to himself, snacking on the room service breakfast peacefully. There was a sound of sloshing water and then Danny peeked his head around the door, looking surprised and wet.
His hair was spattered with drew drop crystals. "I was having a nice nap there," he laughed. "What's the hurry?"
Kamina waltzed over and tried to open the door.
"Kamina-kun! I'm not dressed yet!" Danny protested.
Thanks for that… "Come on Danny, we're leaving for our next hotspot in three hours, Naminé wants us downstairs now!"
Danny blinked, then, concentrating, evaporated the water on him and motioned at his clothes. "I'll get changed as fast as I can…"
Kamina handed his things to him then hurried off to the other room to fix his hair, partly for the reason he'd hidden one of his own hoodies in Danny's bundle to wear. The water guardian brought the light blue jumper up to his face and blushed happily. "Kamina-kun…."

They reached the foyer ten minutes later, luggage in tow and faces red from running…
...Or the twenty second kiss they shared outside the room before running.
"Ok? You guys ready?" Naminé asked, turning on her delicate heel towards the revolving door ahead.
"Nami-wai-sur-pri-" Kamina panted, leaning on Danny whilst gasping for air. The younger boy blushed at the heavy contact but his face was already red so the others didn't register the darker shade.
"Ah, of course, of course," she tutted, winking at Minuki who was blinking in confusion. "You're gonna have to listen carefully to this ok?" her voice was serious now.
"There's tremendously good news and horrifcly bad news…" She took her time to look at each face in turn though she couldn't hold Kamina's gaze for long. "The good news is, someone just recently woke up and joined us…"
Naminé stepped clear to reveal a chibi eagle minor sitting on her suitcase. There was a mixture of cheers and gasps as Kerocho fluttered forward excitedly to greet his best friend.
But Kamina was frozen.
Naminé gave him an apologetic look. "Which is why this hotspot is dangerous to the team. It might mean that Luther's back with his demons."
