FATIMA

by Katsuai

Whookay, despite being sick, I have to finish this part coz  Sun-chan threatened to kill me. Mou, you're mean! You mean to say that you would rather see Totchi being abused than Kaoru and Die in the middle of some RPG S&M??? <lol>

Sorry so short, the next part will be longer. New character is introduced... ^_^
 

PART THREE: DÉSIRER

Die looked out the window, boredom clearly etched on his face. It has been a week since their rescue and he was under strict orders to stay indoors and recover from his injuries. It had been fun at first--- everyone pampered him and even the Emperor was anxious to know of his condition--- but the fun was wearing out and he was starting to feel listless. With nothing to do and no one to talk to, he had plenty of time to think the past events over, something was being pushed around in his mind but he could remember nothing. Every time he thought he was close to understanding, the lights would go out and he would find himself alone in the dark again. Sighing, he turned his attention to the scene below him.
Toshiya was currently teasing Kyo, calling him names and pinching his cheeks, then running away before the other man could take a swat at him. Die opened the window just in time to hear Kyo's angry voice ring loudly across the lawn.

"Take it back! I am not kawaii, dammit. Take it back, Toshiya!!"
"Wah! Kyo-chan's mad... but why? It's the truth. You're especially adorable when you're angry."

He ran past Kyo and ruffled his hair playfully, giggling as he heard him sputter in indignation.
"Can't catch me, shorty!"
"Better watch out, Totchi... you might lose your head on that overpass over there,"  Kyo retorted as he gave chase. He snickered when his prediction almost came true.

"Itai."

Catching up to his friend, Kyo made fun and poked him in retaliation to his earlier insults. When Toshiya failed to respond, however, he stopped and bent over him worriedly.
"Ne, did you hurt yourself bad?"
Silence. The blue-haired fatima curled on his side and clutched his head as if he was in great pain. This worried Kyo even more and he tried to pry his hands away to take a closer look.
"Totchi?"
"Ehehehe, gotcha!"

Kyo barely had time to register the words in his mind when he was pounced on by a grinning Toshiya. Long slender fingers came up to torture him and Kyo struggled loose for all he was worth, not being able to take the tickling anymore. He did what anyone would have done if caught in the same predicament as he was with Toshiya... he grabbed the other's hair and yanked hard. As predicted, his friend immediately stopped and clutched his hair protectively. Kyo snickered and pushed Toshiya off of himself.

"Kyo! Are you trying to make me bald?"
"If you would've stopped when I told you to, I wouldn't have felt the need to resort to such measures. Awww, Totchi, now look at what you did!"

Kyo stood up and pointed at the huge grass stain decorating his once pristine white shirt. In mock revenge, he bent down to rip a handful of grass off the ground and proceeded to dump it on Toshiya's head. He cackled at the shriek and darted away quickly.
Toshiya raised a fist in the air and yelled bloody murder before following after him. The shorter fatima turned and stuck a tongue at him, wondering why Toshiya stopped and covered his eyes with his hands.

Smack.

"Ouch."

He could see the clouds drifting aimlessly from where he now lay sprawled, counting the little birds that danced before his eyes. An unfamiliar face hovered above his and was soon joined by an equally anxious Toshiya.

"Oh, please forgive me... I can be so clumsy at times."
A hand was offered to him and he took it gingerly as he pulled himself up on a sitting position. The stranger who had bumped into him earlier peered at him worriedly, "Are you okay? I am really sorry!"
"Maa, that's ok. Nothing you can do can hurt Kyo... he's got a hard head. See?" Toshiya interjected with a smirk, playfully knocking his fist on his friend's head.

Kyo glowered, but turned to the stranger instead, "So, I've never seen you around before? New?"
"Ah, hai. Fatima Number 48 from Betolca. Are you both Ballanche models?"

Toshiya nodded and showed him the bracelet he wore around his left wrist. Kyo did the same and the new fatima couldn't help but be amazed.
"Sugoi! You must be Toshiya and Kyo, then. I've heard so many things about you both."
"Really? Well, what about you? What's your name?"
The fatima smiled shyly and raised his own wrist to show them the name bracelet, "My name is Ryutaro."
