After they had had enough of the hot tub, they returned to the pool. And once bored with the pool, they returned to Dax's hotel room. He gave her a change of clothing and they took a shower to clear the chlorine off, and dried off. The clock read midnight and there was still no sign of the shinigami. Dax smiled and sighed with relief.

"If you get cold during the night, let me know." Dax stated and motioned towards the bed. "I like air condtioning, so I hope you don't mind."

Blaine shrugged and nodded as she curled under the blankets, closing her eyes tiredly. "I'll be fine, Dax." She murmured before yawning. "Thank you f-for everything today... and especially for coming back.." She muttered, already drifting off.

Dax smiled and nodded as he pulled the covers up around her and moved over to where he had set up a bed on the couch. "Have a good night sleep, Blaine." He murmured and closed his eyes.

The next morning Dax woke up early, just as the sun was rising. He peeked up over the back of the couch to find that Blaine was still curled up under the blankets. He yawned and sat up slowly, stretching his arms above his head.

"Have a good sleep?" The sudden apearance of Zane caused Dax to jump off the couch and over the back. He let out a yelp, but quickly turned to see if he had woken Blaine. He hadn't; but now Zane posed the problem.

Dax let out a groan and peeked out from behind the couch, peering over at Zane. "I thought you were gone."

Zane shrugged. "Nah, just thought I'd leave you to your girlfriend." He chuckled.

Dax's expression grew blank and he stared at Zane. "She's a childhood friend. Besides, why are you here?"

Zane sighed "How many times do I need to tell you? You have my notebook, and I want to see what you will do with it while it's in your hands."

Dax ducked behind the couch and turned to put his back against its back. He wanted to give the monster back its book, but at the same time he wanted to see if it were real. He still couldn't decide, but he didn't want to admit anything he was thinking. He sighed, going to peek above the back of the couch, when Zane appeared in front of him again. He le out a gasp and clasped his hand over his mouth. "Stop it!" He hissed and stood up, quickly moving away from the shinigami.

Blaine stirred on the bed, her body shifting as her arm moved above her head, messing her hair up even more as her other hand rested near her neck. She mumbled something before she appeared to be asleep again.

"I think you should go. You're making me look suspicious around Blaine." Dax stated, glancing at the sleeping Blaine.

Zane chuckled. "I'm not going anywhere."

Dax growled and returned to his spot on the couch, crossing his arms and leaning back. "Whatever."

Blaine groaned as she rolled onto her stomach, her one arm over the side of the bed as she started mumbling words, however Dax could only catch bits and pieces. "M-Mother...n-o... m-murder...I-I... he...lp..." She groaned again - she appeared to be having a nightmare as she started to toss and turn in bed.

Dax raised an eyebrow and turned his head to look over at Blaine. He stood up and circled around the couch to stand by her side. "Blaine.." He said gently and placed his hand on her arm.

Blaine gasped as her eyes opened as she looked up a Dax. She quickly looked around the room before sitting up and holding her face in her hands, running her fingers lightly through her hair. "S-Sorry... I didn't wake you, did I?" She mumbled from behind her hands.

Dax shook his head. "Nah, I woke up a while ago. Are you alright?" He asked and sat on the edge of the bed.

She nodded. "I'm fine, honest." She stated, her face still hidden. She sighed deeply before lifting her head to look at Dax. Her eyes drifted over to the couch to see his pillows and blankets sprawled out on the floor. She glanced back at Dax with a raised eyebrow. "You have a nightmare too?" She asked.

Dax laughed nervously and scratched his cheek. "It's a nightmare when my nightmare becomes reality." He glanced behind Blaine where Zane stood, then returned his gaze back to Blaine. He shook his head. "I'm fine though."

She nodded slowly. She sighed deeply before glancing at the clock. "This is really early for me." She giggled. "Wh-When do you want me to get out of your hair?" She murmured, a slight blush forming on her cheeks.

Dax shook his head with confusion. "Blaine, it's only five thirty. I don't need to leave until nine." He chuckled. "Even then, if you want to stay and chill out, that's fine with me."

She smiled softly and nodded. "Alright, if you're sure I wont be... intruding."

Dax sighed. "Blaine, I invited you. You're not intruding."

She nodded and looked out the window before laughing and laying back down. "I can't believe I'm up this early." She looked up at Dax before up at the ceiling. "I.." She trailed off and shook her head as she bit her lip lightly, closing her eyes. "N-Nevermind..."

Dax shook his head. "You can't just begin to say something and stop like that. You know that bugs me." The corner of his lips edged down as he stared at Blaine with anticipation.

She blushed faintly and shook her head. "N-Nevermind..." She said again as she turned onto her side, her back to Dax.

Dax sighed and placed his hand lightly on her arm. "Blaine, you know you can trust me."

"Can she?" Zane's deep voice came from Dax's left. He ignored him and continued towards Blaine.

Blaine let out a breath but shook her head again. "I know I can trust you... it's not that..." She murmured.

Dax sighed and pulled his arm back to stand up. "If you ever need to talk, please, don't hesitate to find me or call." He stretched his arms again and walked over to the window, stepping out onto the balcony. The sun was half way over the horizon, casting a beautiful glow of orange over the sky. Dax sighed and leaned against the railing, gazing out over the sleeping city.

Blaine had sat up again and looked over at Dax out on the balcony. She sighed deeply and moved herself from the bed and over to Dax. She wrapped her arms around him and buried her face in his back. "Y-You wanna know what I was going to say?" She asked, letting out a shaky breath. "I'm w-worried you're going to leave me all alone again..." She admitted, a lump forming in her throat as she held him tighter.

Dax closed his eyes and sighed, turning around in her arms and wrapping his arm around her torso, the other hand moving to eh back of her head as he hugged her tightly. "Tokyo is my home, Blaine. I'm staying here. I'm getting a job here, and I'm getting a place - hopefully your brothers." He laughed gently and stroked her head. "I don't ever want to leave you again."

Blaine buried her face in his chest as she nodded. "I-I hope you don't..." She whispered. "You may have made friends in Canada, but I've had none since you left... infact, I dropped out of school.." She stated, letting out another shaky breath, tears brimming in her eyes.

Dax frowned. "Why did you drop out, Blaine? You're a brilliant girl."

She shrugged. "It was too hard to keep up. I missed so much school because Chirs and I kept changing homes. He managed to keep in it, but I couldn't... also on top of all that, kids always teased me and teachers were always on my case." She shook her head. "It was too much for me to handle."

"I'm sorry, Blaine." He sighed. "You know that I wouldn't have went if I had a choice."

She nodded. "Of course I know that. I-I just don't want you leaving again... free will or not..."

For a few minutes, Dax held Blaine tightly in his arms in silence. He could tell in her voice that she had been crying. The sun had risen higher in the sky, shining brightly over the two on the balcony. Once the restaurant in the hotel had opened for breakfast welcomers, Dax took Blaine and treated to her breakfast before they both left the hotel. Dax had provided Blaine with a pair of clothing to borrow until she arrived home. Once they reached her house, Dax brought her into a tight embrace again. "Have a good day, alright?"

Blaine nodded and hugged him back tightly. "I will... you too, alright?"

Suddenly, from Dax's pants pocket, a ringtone blared. He pulled back from the hug and pulled the phone out of his pocket. "Hello?"

"Hello, is this Daxter Nemie?" A womans voice came from the other line.

"Yes, this is." Dax replied.

"This is Igimi Katono." The woman said. "We looked over your resume, and we would like for you to come in for a interview."

Dax's eyes lit up and a grin spread across his face. "Yes, thank you! When would you like me to?"

"Would an hour be fine?" Katono asked.

Dax nodded. "Yes, perfect."

They exchanged a goodbye and Dax placed the phone back into his pocket. "That was Katono from one of the private schools I applied to." He grinned. "They want an interview."

Blaine smiled softly. "That's great, Dax."

"They want me in an hour." He chuckled and hugged her quickly again. "I'll let you know if I got the job or not."

She nodded and smiled. "I know you will, Dax."

He smiled softly. "Thank you, Blaine. Oh," He gasped and retrieved the phone from his pocket. "What's your number?" As Blaine told him her home phone number, Dax typed it in. He smiled and slipped the phone into the pocket. "Alright, I'll call you later."

Blaine nodded and smiled. "Have fun then. W-Will I see you later?" She asked.

"I can't promise anything, but I will try." He smiled.

Blaine nodded as she moved to the door of her home. "Alright, talk later then." She smiled before leaving into her house.
