Husky looked over to Nana, who was curled up in a ball, asleep. They had finally left town, after about five days there. He sighed, wishing he could just touch her. To hold her in his arms. He felt his arm reach over to her figure, and stop right short of cupping her face in his hand. His heart ached as he realized something.

'She'll never love me.' he thought to himself, pulling his outstretched back quickly, and sucking in a slightly shaky breath. He looked a Nana's peaceful sleeping face, and wished that somehow Nana could feel that way for him. But he had always made her so mad, and sometimes sad. He's lucky she didn't hate his guts. Once again, his hand reached towards her face. This time, he didn't stop; instead, he rubbed his thumb against her lips tenderly.

'Nana… I'm sorry…' he whispered in his own head, and felt his eyes droop. Right before he slipped into blissful unawareness, he could've sworn he saw Nana's eyes flicker, and her mouth move to form his name. But it must've been his imagination…


Cooro laughed at Nana and Husky. They were still asleep, somehow wrapped around each other.

"I guess they got used to sleeping in the same bed. It'll take them a while to get back to normal." Delia said, shrugging. "Should we wake them?" she asked, looking at him. He shook his head fearfully.

"They'd break my neck together. Let them sleep. Please!" he shivered, and smiled. "Anyways, as you said, they need to figure it out."

Earlier, the day before, Delia had explained to Cooro about Husky and Nana. He was still confused, but got it enough to know they needed to get together. With a silly grin, he grabbed her hand. "There is a really nice place near here! When we were little, Husky, Senri, Nana and I went there! A little pond…" He trailed off, remembering the place. He imagined the green, soft grass he had walked barefoot through. The cattails blowing in the warm breeze, reflected in the clear blue water. The coolness of the liquid soaking into his toes. He sighed, pulling Delia down a path in the small forest.


"Wow." Delia said again, dipping her toes into the cool pond. "Its so pretty…" She whispered, and smiled. Even though she had never been to this place, it felt like home. Sitting here with Cooro reminded her of the old times. With a sad smile, she stood up.

"Ne, Cooro?" she asked, getting his attention from the cattails.

"Hmm?" he asked, smiling that idiotic Cooro smile.

"You'll never leave, right?" she asked quietly. For a minute he looked surprised. Then the stupid grin came back.

"Never!" he promised, laughing. "If I lie, I'll give up apples FOREVER!" he exclaimed seriously. Delia giggled at his oath, and told him she believed him.

"But Delia, why'd you ask such a thing?" he asked her, hugging her playfully. She put her face into his shirt.

"You know Cooro, I once lived in a big mansion…" she told him, searching his eyes for the surprise she expected. There was only what she now recognized as love. "With my mother, and my father, and a little brother. Then something happened," she paused, wondering if she should say more, "and I became a plus anima. My family began to hate me, shy away from me. I was always in my room, wondering why everyone hated me now. Everyone except my little brother… One day, we went out to pick some apples. When we got back, the house was in flames. My brother ran inside for our parents… All of them were lost in the fire. Everyone decided I had burned the house down, and banned me from the village." she breathed in, and he hugged her tighter. She could tell he was trying to imagine what it would be like.

"I was alone for so long, nowhere to go. Then one day, you and Senri show up out of nowhere…" She trailed off, and looked up to see Cooro's red face. He was remembering what state she was in when he found her. She grinned, and touched his face, making him go more red.

"You imagining it?" she teased half-heartedly. Had he even listened to her?

"No!" he hugged her even tighter, smashing her head into the hollow of his neck. "When you were alone, how did you deal?" he asked quietly. He couldn't remember so far back to before Nana, Husky, and Senri. Or rather, he didn't try to remember. He knew it was unpleasant.

"I didn't, for a while. I was a wreck." she sighed. So he had listened. She got onto her tiptoes to peck him on the lips. The peck turned more passionate when Cooro didn't let her pull away, and leaned down to her. She caught onto his mood very quickly.

"Mmm… Delia…" he muttered in between kisses.

"Cooro, don't leave me. Ever." Delia said to him fiercely, and almost tackled him onto the ground. He took that as permission, and was then tackling her to the ground.


Nana twitched and blushed, shuddering slightly at what she heard.

"Really, where are they?" asked Rose for the fifth time. She had come with them, along with Sasori, El-hime, and Jagger. Sasori grinned, and El-hime laughed.

"Don't ask. Just don't." Nana said, gagging slightly. Rose raised an eyebrow, but did not question Nana's all-hearing ears. However, Husky did, in a way.

"Should we go get them?" he asked. Nana shook her head furiously.

"Do not interrupt them, whatever you do!" she squeaked, trying to ignore the sounds coming from somewhere in the forest. Everyone seemed to get it then, and Rose laughed. Husky's face went extremely red.

"Wha-?" he stuttered, flustered. "You mean to say COORO-?" he didn't finish his sentence, but Nana replied anyways.

"Uh yes, don't remind me." she shuddered again. Nana blocked out the noise, and poked at her food. "Ugh. I lost my appetite." Husky nodded, also not wanting to touch his food.

"Is it because you both wish it was you two out there?" Sasori suggested, taking a huge bite of her food. Jagger sighed. Both Nana and Husky went fire truck scarlet.

"NO!" they both screamed at her as she laughed. El-hime nodded.

"Totally the reason~" El-hime teased while Sasori stuffed more fish into her mouth.


When Cooro and Delia got back to where the group was, everyone stared at them. Cooro couldn't figure out why, until El-hime decided to ask them in a knowing tone,

"What were you two doing, anyways?"

Cooro felt his face get hot, and saw Delia freeze where she was, talking to Nana who seemed to be extremely embarrassed.

"You..you…know?" he said in an ultra high, not-so-enthusiastic voice. Nana shivered in the background. El-hime laughed, and Sasori nodded.

"Woo! 'Bout time someone 'round 'ere scored! But you know… I was expecting it to be Rose and Senri before you two. Then it would've been Nana and Husky…" she trailed off thoughtfully. Rose went red, and Nana's face went white. Husky tripped over his own feet where he was walking. Cooro and Delia looked at each other, both considering running away. Running far away. Their faces were extremely red, and they seemed to be the most embarrassed people in the world right now.

"Can we please not talk about our sex life?" Delia finally exclaimed, making everyone go silent. Sasori, El-hime, and Jagger all burst into laughter.

"You.. You say it like it's a bad thing!" Jagger said in his strangely quiet voice. It wasn't girly, but it wasn't like a man's either. This just put El-hime and Sasori into harder laughter.

"Akkkwaaarrddd…." Nana said with a humorous and embarrassed tone of voice.
