Nana ran down the hallway, and down the stairs, not bothering with the elevator. She stumbled on the last step, tripping and basically flying in the air, where Husky caught her.

"Watch where you're going, dumb girl." he told her, until he saw her face. "Whoa, whoa, what's with the red? You look like you just-"

"R-ran into Cooro and Delia making out!" she interrupted, earning a silence from the group. It lasted about ten minutes, until Husky's deep voice raised about three octaves.

"WHAT?" he half-screeched, unlike Nana, all color had drained from his face. Even Senri looked like he might scream…not that he would. Sasori looked sober now, and extremely pleased, and El-hime seemed to be considering something very carefully. Jagger just looked confused as hell.

"W-wait, Cooro kissing someone? Before me?" Husky muttered to himself. No one bothered to point out he had kissed someone before, that is, Nana. Senri put a hand on Husky's shoulder, and said only one word.

"Strange." he told him in his quiet, fact-filled voice. Husky nodded, and turned to face Senri.

"Have you gotten a flower for Delia yet?" he asked, changing the subject of interest from the couple upstairs to Senri's flower pressing book. Senri nodded slowly, pulling out the book and flipping to a page.

"Tiger." he smiled, opening to a page with a pressed tiger lily, still bright orange.

"Fitting." Husky agreed thoughtfully. "Delia does have that bright, mysterious personality, so this kind of flower is perfect." Though he was only stating a fact, Husky could feel the obviously flaming aura emanating out of Nana.

"So she has a bright, mysterious personality, huh? And me? I'm just and idiot, right?" she growled, stomping back up to the rooms alone. Everyone stared after her.

"What was that?" Husky asked when she was out of sight. Senri smiled, and Sasori and El-hime laughed. Rose, who had decided to follow them here with Pinion, patted his shoulder sympathetically.

Everyone but him seemed to understand.

Well, damn. They weren't going to tell him, either.

Sometimes, Husky hated life. With a passion.

"Hmph! Stupid Husky. He'll come running to me, apologizing, one of these days. I swear! He has no feelings!" Nana muttered under her breath, walking through the hotel hallways. Shortly after stomping off, she realized there was no way she was going back to watch Delia and Cooro make out with each other. Sighing, she leaned against a door. Out of nowhere, it opened inwards, causing her to fall backwards into a pair of strong arms. She jumped up.

"Oh! I-" she began, turning around. Who she saw was the male waiter from the restaurant.

"You are… I'm so sorry! I was just…" she started, but trailed off when she saw the look on his face. He was grinning, but not in an inviting way. Nana's breath sped up, and she began to back away.

"No problem, baby… I'm sorry for our rude interruption at dinner time, you know, that boy you had with you… he isn't half the man I am. Why don't you hang out with me tonight?" he asked. Nana stiffened out of fear, and something else. Something more…

"You're right. He's not half the man you are. He's twice the man!" She growled, slapping him. "Never, ever, insult Husky! He's the best friend anyone could ever have! And… and…" she trailed off, wondering what she was going to say. This moment of confusion was enough for the waiter though, and, with his face twisted in anger, he grabbed her with one hand, and covered her mouth with the other.

"you're mine." he whispered in her ear, dragging the kicking and crying girl into his room. No one bothered to look out into the hallway during the fight. No one was coming to Nana's rescue.

'Husky…save me!' she screamed in her mind, as she was gagged and thrown down onto the bed. She bit the cloth as large tears streamed down her face. 'No… I'm so scared…save me, somebody! Please!'

Husky looked up from the chair he was sitting in.

"Did you just hear Nana's voice?" he asked, looking around the room. Everyone in the group shook their head. He sighed. Looking back at Senri, he continued to explain what kept him mad at Nana all the time. (A/N: I know, ironic conversation….) Somehow, though, he couldn't shake off the feeling something bad was going on. Only when an ear piercing scream filled the air, did he jump up and run. That scream was only one a bat could make. Only one Nana could make. Everyone else was disoriented, stumbling around dizzily. Husky was to worried to notice, running up the steps. A cry echoed through the corridors, and he ran straight to room number 315, kicking the door in. His eyes widened at the sight. The waiter, the person he probably hated the most in the world (besides his family), was unconscious on top of Nana, who was half naked. She was in a bra, which was just barely on, and panties, which were pulled far to low for comfort. A boiling rage filled Husky, and a red haze covered his sight. He threw the man off Nana, who was stunned by Nana's hypersonic screech, and stared him down. In a spur of the moment idea, Husky's hands wrapped around the man's throat.

"Husky, no!" Nana's crying voice echoed. She stumbled off the bed, and hugged him, trying to get him to let go. "Don't kill him! You'll go to jail! STOP IT!"

Finally, Husky stopped, and turned to Nana. She looked frightened, as if he would be mad, but surprised when he hugged her tightly.

"Never, ever, ever again." he whispered, more to himself than her. He pulled away, and touched her face everywhere, to make sure she was unharmed. He cupped her face in his hands, and looked her straight in the eyes.

"I'm so sorry. So, so sorry." he stated, the agony in his voice clear. Nana's eyes were red, and tears kept pouring.

"Oh god, Husky, I thought I wouldn't make it out of this one! I- I…" she broke out into hysterics, hugging him as tight as possible.

"Don't worry, Nana. No one will ever touch you again. I'll always be with you. Always." he whispered into her ear, their own private promise. 'Forever and for always.' he cited to himself, squeezing the girl he loved tight in his arms, afraid that if he let go, she would shrink into nothingness.

"Why, I should…" Delia muttered under her breath. The group was just told the story, after Husky called the Astarian guard on the man. Senri, himself, was utterly shocked. Though he said nothing, his mind raced quizzically, searching for reasons.

'Nana…' he thought of the young, cheerful girl, when they first met. She was so sweet, so trustful. He felt himself frown. Who could do such a thing? He felt the bear inside him try to take over again as angry emotions boiled to the surface. No one saw it on his face, though. No one ever would.

"Nana…" Husky muttered in his sleep. Of course, Nana looked at him curiously. She was the only one still awake. In Senri's bed, Rose was curled into a ball, snoring lightly, while Senri himself lay motionless, as if he were a rock. Delia and Cooro were tangled together, and for once, the crow wasn't kicking and mumbling senseless things. Sasori, Jagger, El-hime, and Pinion were all somehow on the floor, each one connected to the other in some way. Once again, Nana's name slipped through Husky's parted lips. He sighed.

"Always…" he murmured, and her heart skipped a beat. Nana felt her face get warm when she thought of his promise, and happily, she cuddled closer into his warm curves.

"Husky, I love you."

Husky woke up in the morning, wishing he hadn't. The dream he had was wonderful. Scattered images of Nana floated around, and once he had imagined her telling him that she loved him.

"Mmmm… Husky, you're up early…" Nana's voice pierced through the silence. The things her voice did to his body, he thought he would die.

"Yeah, you know, had a good night's sleep."

"Glad some of us did." Rose muttered, sitting upwards awkwardly. "I had the weirdest dream…" she began, then looked at Senri thoughtfully. "You'd think he was dead."

"Yeah, with the way he sleeps, I sometimes do." giggled Nana. Husky listened to the sound of her laughter with a growing interest.

'I want to know…' he thought to himself, and played everything he wished he knew about her in his head. When he finally stopped daydreaming, Everyone but a hung-over Sasori and a lazy Jagger were up.

"Those two are a good match, in the worst of ways." He stated. Nana looked at him with a strange gaze.

"Since when do you notice things like relationships?" she asked him. He shook his head, and didn't answer. No point in saying 'since I fell in love with you.' just yet.

Delia looked at Husky and Nana. Something had changed between them… like they were seeing each other for the first time, and liked the view. Of course, Delia understood why. Leaning onto Cooro's arm with a slight smile, she began to plan her next course of action against the two. Who knew? Maybe some new couples would be together in the process. With a twinge of excitement, she glanced towards Rose and Senri.

'Just maybe.'
