*Sings* All I Can Say Is My Life is Pretty Plain, I Like Watchin' The Puddles Gather Rain! =3

Oh Yeaaaah! *Arm Pump*
I Found The Page! I've Found It! =D

...It Was Under A Shoebox sweatdrop
I'd Have Typed It A Little Earlier, But My Doggy Got Sick And Vomited So I Had To Clean Up.

S'okay!
Here's The Next, And Possibly Final Page To My Drabble O=
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Hideyasu Layed Back On The Bed, Putting Him In A Strange L-Shaped Position,
'What Were You Thinking About?'
Akane's Head Lowered A Bit More,
'Nothing!'
She Replied In An Overly Optimistic Way That Would Have Given Most People The
Idea She Was Intent Of Keeping Something Hidden.
'Umm, Listen Blue, I've Got To Go...'

Hideyasu Looked Up,
'To Where? Are You Okay?'
Akane Had Raced Quickly To The Door Before He Had Even Begun To Speak,
'I've-uhhh-I Have To Check On Something!'
She Slammed The Shoji And Practicly Vanished Into The Darkness.

Akane Sat At The Bank Of The River, It Was A Good Ways Away From Lazuline Hall. And She Had Never Told Anyone Of How She Had Often Come Here To Think.
She Kneeled To The Water And Splashed Her Face With It's Water, Hoping To
Sober Her Thoughts.

'Did I Actually Just Think That?'
She Asked An Inward Question.
Akane Gazed At Her Embarassed Reflection.
'I Mean, What's So Special About Him?'
She Sighed Loudly, She Knew The Anwser,
'Everything...'

Akane Felt That Embarassing Warmth Against Her Face Again, And Lightly Splashed
Her Face Again.
'But He's My Friend, And Ohatsu, And-'
Akane Rested Her Head In Her Palms.
'Maybe I'm Not Just Jubei, To Him...'

Akane Layed Down On The Bank Staring Up Into The Stars.
'Maybe He's Not Just Soki To Me...'
Her Mind Stirred With Her Confession To Arin, And Hideyasu's Words When He
Had Arrived To Save Her From Munenori.

'What Am I To Him?'
'Precious' He Had Said That Much Before Munenori Had Reminded Him That She Was Still His Hostage.
Akane Smacked The Ground Softly With A Fist.
'It's All So Confusing.'

Akane Stood Up And Dusted Herself Off.
'A Little Cold Today.'
She Spoke Outloud To Herself.
She Shivered Lightly Before Starting Towards The Temple.

Akane Slid The Shoji Open, Stepped In, And Shut It, Careful Not To Slam It, Like
She Had Earlier. The Floor Creaked Softly.
'Jubei! What Happened? You look Cold.'

Hideyasu Hadn't Fallen Asleep Yet.
'Oh, Your Still Awake?'
Soki Changed The Subject,
'What Did You Have To Check Up On So Suddenly?'

Akane Hadn't Planned An Awnser For This Question.
'Ummm...Tea!'
Hideyasu Cocked An Eyebrow,
'Tea?'
Akane Nodded,
'Yeah, I Was Looking For A Place To Get Water For Tea!'
Hideyasu Layed Back Down.

Akane Flopped Down On The Bed Next To Him,
'How Am I Going To Ask This?'
Her Mind Raced.
'Perhaps I Should Just Ask It?'
Akane Shuffled Her Feet Nervously.

'Hey Blue. Can I Ask You Something?'
Soki Didn't Look Up.
'Sure.'
Akane Lowered Her Head Again,
Trying To Avoid Looking At Him, If He'd Been Sitting Up Before She Asked.
'Well, What Do You Think About Me?'
Akane Added The Slightest Lilt On The Last Word.

Hideyasu Sat Up And Gently Rested His Head On Her Shoulder,
'Me? I Think You're A Wonderful Person,'
Akane Kept Her Eyes Forward, His Head, Being Where It Was, Had Made Her More Uncomfortable.
'And You're A Very Talented, And Skillful Ally.'

She Blushed Slightly At How Casually He Had Just Spoken.
'Am I...Am I Pretty?'

Hideyasu Turned His Face To Look Her In The Eyes.
One Eye A Shining Red. The Other An Umber Sphere.
Her Skin The Color Of The Washi-Paper Door She Had Just Entered From.

Hideyasu Turned Away Slightly, Hiding His Face From View.
He Whispered Something Softly.
'You're Beautiful...'

A Little Bit Of A Cliffhanger Ending There, No? =D
I'm Almost Certain I've Got At Least Another Chapter To Go, But There! =D
It's Not As Fluffy As I Had Thought It Was Three Days Ago, Strangely, But I Like It Still! =3
Never Trust A Shoebox! D=
They Will SO Steal Your Stuff!
