Groggily Shusei went to sit up, only to find he couldn't move due to a large arm swung around him. His gaze fell on a sleeping Hotsuma. He hair was sticking up in all directions and the usual frown on his face had faded. Dark brown eyelashes fluttered across his cheeks and without his shirt you could see his muscles which rippled every time he moved in closer.

Shusei sighed and decided against awakening him. He laid back down and felt himself get pulled further into strong arms until the scent of burning wood and crisp air filled his lungs with every breath. Hotsuma had a scent that was impossible to duplicate. Strong arms held him close to Hotsuma's chest. He soon fell back asleep to the steady beating of Hotsuma's heart.

When he woke up later Hotsuma's golden eyes were watching him. He didn't look away once he was caught but instead raked his eyes up and down Shusei's body as if trying to take something in. Shusei sat up quickly not realizing how close Hotsuma's face was and ended up crashing Hotsuma's lips into his own. He was shocked at first but he didn't move. They kept kissing, Hotsuma eventually wrapping his arms around Shusei and Shusei wrapped his fingers in his hair.

A knock on the door interrupted them.

"You need to get out here now," a deep voice from the other side of the room said.

Shusei and Hotsuma broke apart and looked at each other. Hotsuma started to put on his shirt. Shusei grabbed his shirt and followed suit.

"We'll be right there," his softer voice said.

"Hurry!" the voice demanded, "I need to show you where you're going but I'm not waiting here all day."

Hotsuma's eyes narrowed but Shusei shot a reassuring smile his way and they both walked to the door. Shusei opened it and behind it stood a five foot nine man. His eyes were a startling red color and his hair was a mess of blonde-orange color. His had several piercings in each ear. He was wearing a red hoodie with black jeans and black sneakers. He had a scowl on his face.

"Who are you?" Hotsuma asked glaring at him with a ferocity Shusei had never seen.

"Tth," the man said blowing off his question completely and looking over at Shusei.

"Ready?" he asked more gently pissing off Hotsuma even more.

"Sure," Shusei said and started to follow the man, taken aback when Hotsuma pulled him closer to him.

"Stay near me," Hotsuma said lowly, "I don't like him."

"You're not exactly my favorite person either," the man in front of them shot back.

"Stay out of people's conversations," Hotsuma snarled walking faster to catch up with him.

"Don't talk behind people's backs," the man said turning around and getting into his face, "only cowards do that."

"I'm not a coward," Hotsuma growled at him.

"Then say it to my face," the man said drawing his sword, "right now."

Hotsuma drew his weapon and raised it.

"Hotsuma!" Shusei said trying to draw him back but finding himself unable to.

"Cory!" a loud voice barked and the man named Cory sheathed his sword.

"Yes?" he asked turning around to come face to face with a shorter man with dark hair and blue eyes.

"Calm down," he said, "it figures you two would get into a fight."

"What do you mean by that?" Hotsuma asked once again raising his sword ready to attack.

"Don't you dare!" Cory said grabbing his own weapon.

"Heel!" the man said calmly, "what are you, an animal?"

"He threatened you!" Cory yelled in frustration.

"I don't care what he did!" the man said sternly, "I'm telling you to stop."

"Fine," Cory said letting his sword disappear and standing next to him protectively.

"I'm Adam," the man greeted.

Hotsuma narrowed his eyes in suspicion.

"No you're not," Hotsuma said, "We've already met Adam."

"No you've met an Adam. God's eye from the looks of it. I'm Dr. Adam Logan," he smiled slightly, "Just call me Logan. It's easier than confusing everyone."

"I'm assuming you're the one people go to for medical problems then," Shusei said to him.

"Yes," he smiled and looked over at Cory, "And this is Cory. He's God's Voice. It makes him extremely hotheaded and the fact that he was sent to help you guys…."

"Means what?" Hotsuma asked bad-temperedly.

"Nikki got bored," Cory sniped back before Logan could answer.

"She probably had a better reason than that," Logan said, "I'll take them where they're going. You go be a good little lap dog and go back to your master."

Cory glared but left anyway.

"Lap dog?" Shusei asked.

"Adam says jump Cory asks how high," Logan explained laughing.

Even Hotsuma cracked a smile at the explanation.

"This way," Logan said and led them into a room with a blue door.


Tsukumo woke up on the floor dazed and slightly confused. He sat up and almost hit his head on a headboard. Looking over he saw his sister sleeping, her face in the pillow, buried under layers of blankets. The TV was still on, the volume low. He's fallen asleep in her room.

"Toko," he said after clearing the sleep from his throat.

A low groan came from the pillow.

"Toko," he said again shaking her gently.

"Too early," she groaned unhappily.

"We should start getting ready," he said standing up and stretching out.

She just groaned again.

"You're the one who wanted to watch the movie last night," he reminded her.

"I know," she said finally making a move to get up when there was a knock on the door.

"I'm supposed to show you where to go," a voice on the other side of the door said, "Are you ready to go? I can't find your brother."

"I'm here," Tsukumo said, "we're ready to go."

Toko shot a glare at him but got up anyway and slipped on her shoes. They both walked over to the door and opened it. Standing behind it was Danny.

"Awesome," he smiled, "Let's go."

They started walking through the hallways. They came across the splatter painted one and took a left. The walked down the halls silently until Tsukumo stopped short.

"Someone's following us," he informed Danny.

"Yes someone is," Danny said smiling slightly, "Jack, more specifically."

Toko looked around but couldn't see him.

"I sensed him," Tsukumo explained, "I don't see him anywhere."

"He's about 20 feet back," Danny admitted, "Didn't want to make you nervous."

"Didn't do us much good it seems," Jack said coming into view.

He was still smiling a crooked smile that disturbed them. It was unsettling the way he walked in his heavy army boots without making so much as an ounce of noise. His black hoodie and jeans made him almost impossible to see in the hallway which was darker than it should have been. His red eyes almost glowed in the dark.

"No it didn't," Tsukumo agreed.

"He's not that bad," Toko said, "and besides I'd rather have him in view."

"Well that settles it then," Jack smiled creepily; "I'll stay close by."

"In front of us," Tsukumo insisted.

"In front of you," Jack agreed.

They walked silently down the corridors and finally stopped at a black door. Jack pushed it open and beckoned them in. Tsukumo and Toko walked in, wondering what was in store for them.


Kuroto woke up sleepily to his name being called.

"Kuroto," Senshirou mumbled in his sleep again, "Don't leave me. I love you."

Kuroto's breathing hitched and he stared down at Senshirou.

Finally after a few minutes of debating, he gently shook Senshirou, surprised when Senshirou flew up and clutched at him burying his head into Kuroto's chest.

"Senshirou," Kuroto breathed in surprise.

"Kuroto," Senshirou said shaking slightly.

"You're fine," Kuroto said softly, "everything's okay."

Senshirou looked up at Kuroto and then slowly let go.

"I'm sorry," he apologized, "I was having a nightmare."

"It's fine," Kuroto said, "but you should start to get ready now."

"Oh, oh yeah," Senshirou said getting up slowly and wincing.

"Senshirou?" Kuroto asked looking at him.

"Just a little sore," Senshirou promised.

They went about getting ready and we're finally set when Senshirou got worried.

"How much of my dream did you hear?" he asked looking over at Kuroto.

"I woke up at the part where you asked me to stay," Kuroto said not looking him in the eyes.

"So you heard me say that I..?" Senshirou asked not finishing the sentence.

"Yeah but just forget it," Kuroto said, "I know you didn't mean it. It's fine."

A knock interrupted what Senshirou was about to say next.

"Ready to go?" a voice asked.

"Yeah we're ready," Kuroto called and went to open the door.

Standing on the other side was the Duras that they had met when they were called.

"I'm taking you where we're going," Leslie said straight faced and turned around, "follow me."

They followed Leslie down a few different hallways until they led to one that held a red door at the end.

"Ready?" Leslie asked and opened the door.


"Luka," the woman said.

"I know I have to die," she said once he looked over, "I want you to be the one to do it."

"I cannot," Luka said looking at the woman he loved.

"Yes you can and you must," she said, "I want to die in your arms."

He looked down and they heard the fighting around them as silence sunk in between the two. Finally he pulled the woman into his arms and drew his sword.

"I will wait for you Yuki," he promised.

Yuki sat straight up in the bed. He'd been having weird dreams constantly and was unsure of what to do.

"Yuki?" Luka's voice cut through his thinking.

"Luka," he said quietly.

"Is something wrong?" Luka asked him standing closer to the bed.

"No," Yuki said looking up, "I'm fine."

"Are you sure?" Luka asked his eyes softening slightly.

"Yes," Yuki promised.

A knock on the door caused Luka to draw his sword.

"I'm here to take you to the meeting today," a soft voice said.

Yuki went over and opened the door.

Behind it was Kyle. A short blonde boy with large blue eyes. He wore a light blue hoodie and a pair of black jeans with white sneakers.

"Ready to go?" he smiled slightly and beckoned them to follow him.

Jesse came out and stood closely to Kyle, ready to protect him if he needed to. They walked down a few corridors silently and then finally they got to a yellow door.

"This way," Kyle said and they walked through the door.

HeeHee. I'll see if you see why this is a cliffe. You have to figure it out though. ;)
