Xei closed the door behind him. He leant against it and stared at the window through lazy, unfocused eyes. He listened to Mio as she moved about on her bed, though his mind was half out of the world. When she spoke, he shook and looked up. Then, he sighed. "Mio, you are so considerate," he said, thinking about what would make her feel special. "If you wanted to shout at her, then it can't be helped." And he stood away from the door, pondering over to his bed. He sat on it, swung his legs over and lay down, resting his weary head on his arms. He closed his eye and sighed loudly. "Eolyn's very nice, usually, and she would never do such a thing. But she shoudn't have been judgemental." He slapped his hand over his mouth, in disbelief that he bad-mouthed a woman. "I-I don't know... I'm just a boy..." His gaze was drawn, now, to Mio's body, which was so serene, even though she was probably filling her mind with unneeded anxiety. She looked very angelic when she lay down. His heart beat rapidly. "H-how's your leg?"

As the brown eyed girl watched Xei from the pillow in which she rest her head on, she nodded slowly. She watced him as he moved to his own bed and sat upon it then lay down, his hands placed comfortably behind his head. Closing his eye she quickly cast her eyes along his body, taking in each part of him, from his head to his feet. When he began to speak again she looked back to his face, watching his lips move as he spoke. As he slapped a hand to his mouth she giggled softly. 'You know, you are intitled to your opinion, if you think that she was being judgemental it's alright to say so.' Smiling softly at the boy, knowing full well that he felt he had said something wrong about the other girl.
When Xei asked her about her leg she sat up and looked back down at the bandage. She began poking a finger at the wound then hissed slightly. 'I guess it's OK, a little sore....I think I should change this bandage soon though. The bloods coming through. Turning her nose up at the deep red liquid on the material she giggled softly. As Mio giggled the door to their room opened as the large black wolf walked in, kicking it closed behind her, Lunca papped around the room to her partner. Pulling herself on the bed, Mio ruffled her soft, dark fur. 'Hello hunny, Daijoubu?' With worry in her vioce Mio gripped Lunca softly by the ears and rubbed her thumbs over them.

Shrugging, Xei sighed again. "I guess," he mumbled. Mio's smile was enchanting; he felt warmer than he appeared to be. At the mention of blood, he rolled onto his side and sat up, staring at her injury. "I'll get a bandage, right away!" And at that, he scrambled around in his sash and retrieved a large plaster. As he was about to go to her, Mio's wolf had entered and the two shared affections. Smiling gently, Xei stood up and stood beside her bed and peered at the wolf, still holding the plaster. He held it out to Mio, now looking away. "Please t-take this..." he murmured, not daring to offer help in touching her leg. "I-I'll get a damp cloth," he said instead, pulling out a clean, white handkerchief with roses on. He frowned at how silly it looked, but then dashed to the ensuite. Staring at the mirror that hung above the sink, Xei rinsed the handkerchief with warm water. His eyes looked like they'd been pulled apart. He gasped and dropped the cloth in the basin, to stare at his horrific face. Holding the sides of the chilling sink, he widened his eyes, as if he expected them to look more vibrant that way. Then, he stepped away, still gazing at himself. He needed to sleep. He came back to his roommate and gazed upon her once again. He passed Mio the damp cloth then turned away. "Mio, I'm going to sleep. Please wake me if the clan needs me." And he pulled off his long coat, revealing his soft, pale but tired body. On his wrists were chain bracelets, each carrying an elegant silver skull charm. Around his neck, his choker now revealed a large silver cross. He then removed his purple hat and placed it on the bedside table, his eyes half-closed, ready to sleep. And at that, he tucked into bed.

As Mio and Lunca both looked at the boy, Mio smiled softly and took the plaster from his hands. 'Thank you Xei.' Lunca saw Mio take the plaster from his hands and as a thank you from herself she quickly gave his hand a soft lick. 'Naww, kawaii! She likes you.' Lunca looked back at Mio happily as Xei pulled out a cloth and moved into the bathroom. As the black wolf moved to the bottom of the soft bed, Mio moved to unravel the bandages on her leg hissing slightly as the air got to the wound. 'Christ Lunca, why did you go and hurt yourself? Baka. You must be sore too, huh? Well at least sis sewn you up.' Smiling at the wolf and rolling the bandages around her hand and placing them on the bed. When Xei re entered the room Mio held out her hands for the wet cloth he was holding, thanking him again for helping her. When he moved back to his bed and told her that he was going to get some sleep she nodded and from the corner of her brown eyes, she watched him as he removed his jacket and got into bed.
Gripping the cloth and moving it to the wound she began to wipe around it, cleaning off the dry blood then moving to dab at the fresh liquid seeping from the still sore cut. Biting her lip as the pain shot through her, she tried not to make any noise as she didn't want to disturb the male. He did look awe fully tired. Picking up the plaster that he had given her she pulled off the plastic and stuck it securely over the wound. Smiling at her work she picked up her mess and looked for a bin, moving to the bathroom she found one there and threw the mess away. Walking through the door back to her bed she pulled back the covers and slipped in, knowing that her clothes were still in a suitcase somewhere in the building she had to make do with the clothes she had on. Placing her head on the pillow she curled up and waiting for Lunca to lay down behind her. Feeling the warmth from the large wolf on her back she smiled and closed her eyes.

(Later) Clouds creeped gradually over the Derelict Manor, and, soon, rain was indeed upon Light's Nemesis. It started off as gentle tapping, then grew into hammering showers. At the sound of it rattling against the window, Xei arose from his sleep and stared out of the naked window. He'd forgotten to draw the blinds before he fell asleep. Peering at his hand watch, he yawned, then realised that he'd only been asleep for a couple of hours. He looked towards the bed next to him and jumped. 'Oh yeah, I was sharing a room with Mio,' he thought, smiling at how it wasn't a dream. Though they weren't in the same bed, he felt like he'd grown closer to this girl. Her soft eyelids were relaxed and her hair looked like silk. Xei felt lucky. He got up and rubbed his eyes, staring down at his pale body. He was terribly skinny, but he had nice shoulders. Shrugging, the male walked to the window, gazing out at the rain-flashing city through an eye. Feeling cold, he clutched his hunched bare shoulders and closed his eyes, breathing deeply. The room seemed quiet, besides Lunca's, and Mio's, gentle breathing.

As Mio slept peacefully Lunca's ears picked up at the movement. Lifting her head slightly she watched as the male moved across the room to the window. Her eyes watched him as he looked cold, jumpping off the bed, the huge black wolf moved over to him and gazed up into his eyes. Licking her lips and yawming widly she jumped up onto her hide legs and placed her paws on the window sill and looked out. Mio who had felt the bed move as Lunca jumped off, yawned and sat up. Rubbing her eyes, she peered around the room and reached her arms over her head. 'Is it morning yet?' Throwing the covers from her body she swung her legs over the egde and limped slightly to the male. 'Wow, the rains coming down hard isn't it.' Reaching a hand out she scratched the back of Lunca's black fluffy ears. Turning her head to the male she asked, 'Are you cold?'

Catching movement out of the corner of his uncovered eye, Xei looked around and saw Mio's black wolf friend jumping to the windowsill. The two met gazes and Xei grinned, but it was so small, it was barely visible. Moments later, her owner had awoken and was wandering towards Xei. Still grasping his cold shoulders, the male turned to face her and found himself smiling. The shadows and soft light still made her look captivating. "I think it's the evening," Xei whispered, hesitating slightly as he touched Lunca's warm head. He completely forgot the fact that he barely wore any clothes at that moment. "I'll be fine," he said, answering her other question. "My long coat is a bit heavy, but it's warm enough to withstand the outdoors." He glanced at the chair which he'd hung the coat on, then back at Mio. "Are you cold, yourself?" he said, stepping near her, as if her pleasant warmth was radiating off her and warming him.

Mio moved closer to the window and looked out, giggling softly as her breath on the glass steamed up the window. Using her hand she wiped away the steam and smiled. 'Wow, I'm going to be so tired later, I haven't really slept well since I left the old town.' The young girl shuddered as she remember the events that took place there but quickly shock them off. When Xei answered her question about being cold she looked at him with interest. She wondered how he could wear his coat but no shirt, but she didn't dwell on it too long. When he stepped toward her her eyes caught sight of his chest but she quickly pulled her gaze to his face as her cheeks began to tinge red. 'A little, but I had to travel in these clothes so i'm ok really. She smiled up at the boy softly and looked back towards the window as the rain beat against it. 'I love the rain.'

Xei's voice dropped as he stared at her. "Don't you remember what I said to you... in the hallway," he murmured, his eye unfocused, but definetely looking at her. He stepped towards her and, without warning, he brought his arms around her shoulders, closing his eyes, and embraced her. "Did you ignore it," he whispered, despair creeping into his voice accidentally. The rain crashed around them, on the roof. The window, slightly open, was leaking. As one came through, it hit Xei's bare back and he shivered. At that, he felt his grasp on Mio tighten slightly.

Mio watched the male as he spoke about the events that happened in the hallway, as he placed his arms around her she stiffened slightly before relaxing into the embrace. 'Yes I remember...' She closed her eyes when he asked her if she ignored his comfession but shook her head. 'No Xei, I didn't ignore it.' When he shivered from the cold rain hitting his back she wrapped her own arms around he waist and pulled him closer to her warm body, gently running her hands over the pale skin hopeing to warm him up.

Though this was a good thing, Xei's body tensed up as Mio's magical hands touched his waist. He breathed in deeply, inhaling her sweet scent, then lowered his hands shakily. "So... I sort of expected a response," he mumbled. Then, suddenly, he flinched, and he grasped her even more tightly. He took a breath and raised his voice. "The suspense is killing me!" After that, he loosened his grip and he was ready to release Mio, as if he'd already heard her say "no" or something along those lines. The fact that she was embracing him without hesitation caused his heart to sway. She didn't reject him, like everyone else did...

As Mio continued to run her hands along his back, she barely heard him mummble that he was hoping for a responce. When his grip tightened around her, she gasped slightly and her eyes opened. She watched silently as the shadows from outside danced on the walls behind the male, dropping her hands slowly as he raised his voice and loosened his grip. Pulling away gently she lifted a hand and pressed it to his cheek, running her fingers delicately across the pale flesh, looking deeply into his eye. 'Xei I...' As she began, a small smile began to creep onto her face, growing brighten as she continued. 'Suki desu!'

Mio had finally answered. Xei's entire system jolted forward suddenly and he turned red, a lump forming in his throat... he needed to gulp... And, because he didn't gulp, he couldn't speak. He widened his eyes and held still. She was probably expecting him to react. Oh, but he was! He flinched and moved his hands, one placed on Mio's warm shoulder and one beginning to stroke her hair, letting it slide over his fingers like a milky waterfall... he gazed at her bright, smiling face and opened his mouth slightly, drawing inwards. ((Just like the picture I drew)) Finally, he gulped and there, he froze, his nose gently nudging Mio's soft nose. "Mio..." he whispered, lifting his hands so that they cupped her cheeks. They were shaking, and that made him more embarrassed. But he really didn't care... some how. With a small ounce of courage, he brought Mio's face towards his and kissed her... her cheek. He was sure it was a nice gesture, but was it really... any good? He was about to release her when something screamed in his head. 'Look at how cute she is, she's asking for more than just THAT!' 'You're right, whoever you are,' he thought and then, he kissed her lips, his closed green eye filled with love.

When Mio confessed she watched him her eyes dropping to the floor as a blush covered her cheeks. He was silent and it made her almost wonder if he changed his mind of if he understood her. Thoughts began to buzz in her head, thoughts of why he didn't react and why he didn't speak until a hand was placed on her shoulder. Looking back up into his green eye as his other hand went to her hair and ran down it. Closing her brown eyes as his hand ran smoothly along her hair a smile crept back onto her soft face. She kept her eyes closed until she felt his nose touch hers gently, her brown orbs locking with his one green one and covered eye, both his hand cupped her face gently yet shakingly she watched him. As his face came closer her eyes slide shut, his lips pressed against her cheek. Her eyes opened again as he moved back slightly, smiling gently to him the smile began to fade as he moved closer to her. Her eyes sliding shut again, her lips slightly parted, feeling his lips touch hers she kissed back. Pressing her lips pressing softly back against his, her thin arms moving slowly to his settle gently upon his waist.

Love and warmth filled Xei's body as Mio returned his kiss without hesitation. Her soft hands were touching his bare waist, and, though it was a slight surprise and he smiled when it tickled him, it felt nice. It felt like a mere second that they were in that dream world because it felt so quick. But, then again, it was like time had stood still for a moment and that they were the only people in the world for the moment. He blushed madly after opening his eye and taking a look at Mio's rosey cheeks and wet lips. He gulped, grinned and embraced her, taking in her sweet scent. He saw her wolf nearby and frowned with embarrassment. Even though she was just an animal, she must have seen them kiss and he felt odd. But he also felt accomplished. He learnt something new about himself. "Wow," he mumbled. "I learned how to love just one person." Then he scowled at himself at how odd and uncool it sounded. "Not that I... oh never mind."
