~ The Mission ~

(Disclaimer! I don't own any of the characters!)

"What am i thinking? How can someone like me get teddy back from Reiji?"... I continue walking a rather slow pace through the mansion all the way to reijis door. I stop right outside but can't bring myself to knock.

"Its rude not to knock when you clearly have something to talk to me about." I freeze as i hear the cool yet irritaded voice from the other side of the door.

"I-im sorry.. may i come in?"

"Enter."

I slowly open the door and peek inside. Reiji is standing by his big bookshelf, searching for some books. I hurry inside and close the door carefully behind me, trying not to make too much noice in case it would irritate him more.

"What bussnes do you have here, miss komori-san?" I look up at him, expecting him to look at me but he hasn't moved an inch from the spot he was in when i entered his room.

"Ah! well... i- i came here on an errand... ... it's..."

"Well?" Reiji turns his head and looks me straight in the eyes with a cold glare, which makes me freeze to the spot. I take a deep breath and continue.

"Kanatos teddy is missing... acually..." Right when i finnish my sentence i see a smirk appear on his face.

"Really now? Are you here because he claimed i was the one who stole it? There is a possebillity that he just lost it somewhere.."

"H-he would never loose teddy on purpose! ... He said that... you... took it..." I can feel the cold sweat run down the back of my neck as i say the last words quietly, almost in a whispering tone.

"Hmm.. well i guess i could never fool someone like Kanato." Reiji turns his head back to the bookcase and pulls out two books.

"S-so you'll give him back?" I slowly close the distance between us by taking a fiew steps forward. Reiji puts down the books on a table and then dissapears out of my sight. I blink a fiew times to assure that i wasn't day dreaming. Then two arms grab me from behind and pulls me into a tight embrace.

"Why did you choose kanato?" I can hear Reijis cool and low voice right in my ear, which gives me shivers.

"Well... I'm sorry... but that's something i-i don't have the answer to..."

"If thats the case, why don't you choose me? If you don't have a spesific reason then i you woulden't mind me stealing you away from him?" I can feel Rijis cold breath on my neck and i end up turning around in his grasp, facing him. I look into his eyes and smile kindly.

"Sorry, but i don't want you to do that. I know why i chose Kanato. He is a boy with a lot of struggles that i wanna help him through, and he is a kind and caring person deep down. That is the reason i chose him." Reiji is a bit surprised by my anwer, but the look of surprise vanishes quickly.

"I see." he lets me go and walks back to the books he had picked from the bookcase earlier.

"So, where is teddy?"

"I left it in your room. Now leave, i have more important things to attend to."

I quickly excuse myself and leave Reijis room, heading towards my own. When i reach my door i quickly swing it open and see teddy sitting on my bed. I exhale deeply in relief and walk over to the bear, only to notice that one of his ears are loose.

"Oh no! I suppose Kanato won't be that happy if i return him looking like this.." i carefully pick teddy up and put him on my desk. I pull out a needle and some thread from a drawer and start to swiftly stitch teddys ear back on.
When i'm done, i bite of the axcess thread that was left on his ear and look at my work with a pleased smile.

"Not too shabby... Okay! Time to get you back to Kanato." I put Teddy under my right arm and head out.

I find Kanato almost emediatly, since he hasn't moved from the place i saw him last. He's sitting quietly in the snow, looking up at the stars. When i'm only a fiew meters away from him, he look up and notice me.

"Teddy!" I don't even have time to blink before teddy was pulled out of my grasp. Kanato hugged him tightly, with no sign of letting him go

"Thank you Yui..." Kanato give me gentle smile and i can see that he truly is happy.

"No problem." I smile cheerfully back at him. With no warning what so ever, kanato suddenly pushes me down onto the ground.

"K-Kanato-kun?"

"I love you Yui." He seals my mouth with a rough and passionate kiss, leaving me no chanse to reply. When he pulls away i place my hand on his cheek and look him in the eyes with a kind smile.

"I love you too."
