Chapter Five � Strong Emotions
Shin and Hajime stood on each of Goh's side, staring into the confinement area where Mannen was lying naked. The fact that he had lost consciousness proved that his injuries had been too severe to allow them to heal by themselves. Goh was providing him the necessary Leafe he needed.
Hajime noticed the tightly clenched fist of Shin and his sea-green eyes softened. 'Shin...' He shook his head and returned his to the leader of their group of three. 'Mannen-nii, you're a heartbreaker.� Hajime smiled to himself, a slight hint of sadness visible in his eyes.

Hayate stood in the corner of the room, watching as Sasame rechecked the boy's bandages to see if he was healing right.
"If only the mayouchuu had the sense of decency to hold off until Izumi-san was feeling better," the light-haired male sighed.
Hayate scoffed, his usual scowl sliding into place.
Sasame stood; he wore scowl that seemed out of place on his pleasant features and the Wind Knight straightened up. "Do you think you're the only one who had to leave who you loved? I was only just able to be with Takako. I had to use my own power to seal her up because she fell in love with you and you refused her." During his bout of anger, Sasame's clothes had glowed, revealing the natural Knight uniform. "Sometimes I believe she was still in love with you," he added softly.
Hayate's expression relaxed a little and he stepped towards his fellow Knight. "Sasame..."
Their eyes locked, two opposites; light and dark, but both sharing a look of sorrow and wanting. Sasame reached forward and stroked Hayate's cheek, the touch more inquisitive than loving; testing; a taste.
"Sasame," Hayate breathed again, more resolute this time.
Sasame leaned forward gently pressing a kiss against Hayate's lips, hardly more than the touch of butterfly wings. "I'm tired of being lonely, Hayate," that melodic voice whispered, suddenly sad and vulnerable, tugging at the man's heartstrings.
Hayate pulled his sliver-haired teammate into his arms, holding him firmly but with infinite care. Sasame stiffened at first before relaxing into the warm body, letting his head rest against the curve of Hayate's neck. They stayed there for what felt like a long time, just listening to each other�s breaths, not needing to say any words. At some point Sasame let his arms slide around Hayate's waist and Hayate's grip tightened, but the two men kept chaste.
Hayate reluctantly withdrew when he heard the ruffle of sheets from the bed they had laid Izumi on. Sasame moved to the boy�s side as his gray eyes slowly opened, then widened at the unknown surroundings. "You're at our place, Izumi-kun," Sasame soothed. "You passed out in the park so we took you here."
"Ah, sou," Izumi winced, sitting up partially.
Hayate just watched silently, his eyes fixed on Sasame's pale hands on the bedding. "How are your wounds? Are you alright?" Sasame asked quietly.
The dark-haired boy flushed a little. "Un, not too bad." His lean figure suddenly went rigid, his hand clutching at Sasame's shoulder. "What happened to Mannen! I didn't kill him, did I? Tell me!"
Hayate moodily slapped the boy�s hand off of Sasame. "Don't worry." His voice was clipped but not as cold as it had been. "Goh, Shin and Hajime took him to Leafenia to be restored. He should be just fine."

Mannen exhaled with relief, a cool tingly feeling now set in the areas he had been burning with pain earlier. Something soft clenched around his hand a little, so he blinked himself awake to find Shin's hands tightly enveloping his own. "Shin-chan, don't make that face," he chuckled, brushing away a tear from his friend's face with his free hand.
The sadness and relief in his green eyes only grew stronger, however, a few tears rolling down his soft cheeks. "Mannen-nii! You're awake! How do you feel, are you ok?" he asked hurriedly between sobs.
Mannen only smiled, patting his friend's hair reassuringly. "Daijoubu, daijoubu, Shin. I�m just a little numb still. Now don't cry, I already told you not to make that face," he grinned. Shin's face shifted to a smile as well, assured that his Mannen-nii was on the mend. "Much better! That's my Shin! Is everyone else alright?"
The blonde boy bobbed his head, glowing happily now. Hajime had had the tact to herd the other Knights away to allow him some rare time alone with the Ice Knight. "Nobody else was injured. Goh's a little tired since he had to give you Leafe, but Kei is taking care of him."
"And Izumi? Is he ok?"
Shin hesitated a second, his happiness ebbing slightly. "He ran off, but Hayate and Sasame took him in so he should be fine." He slid a little closer to Mannen, edging onto the bed ever so slightly. "Mannen-nii, I was so worried." His still small and delicate hands gripped even tighter around the Ice Knight's hand. "I was so afraid for you, Mannen-nii..."
Mannen could only stare in surprise as the Plant Knight leaned closer. "Shin-chan...?"
Shin pressed his lips lightly against the other Knight's then pulled back, staring at the wide plum-colored eyes. "Mannen-nii... I've always admired you, looked up to you. All that's manifested and grown..."
"Shin, don't say it." Mannen sat forward, reversing the grip so he squeezed the boy's hand. He smiled, reaching up with his free hand to brush back Shin's silky blond locks. His smile brightened as they fell back into place. "What I'm saying," he continued, "Is that you're like a brother to me, and I love you like that. You even still call me "Mannen-nii", what does that say?"
Shin lowered his eyes to their clasped hands.
"What'd I just tell you about crying?"
He smiled for Mannen's sake. 'It's Izumi, isn't it... What will you do when we have to leave, Mannen-nii...'
"How 'bout Hajime?"
Shin's large green eyes blinked a few times. Mannen laughed at the boy�s innocence. "I've caught those glances and looks he's given you on a few occasions. Talk to him!"
"Mannen-nii!" Shin blushed, lowering his head again.
The Ice Knight laughed louder and kissed the boy on top of his head. "You're too cute. Come on. Let's go visit Goh." Shin's eyes widened but before he could say anything, Mannen had already disappeared. Tears of regret filled his eyes as he followed.
"Kei," Goh whined, "I need more tender loving care." He gave his cutest and saddest face to the Light Knight and earned a book right in it. "Itee...!"
Kei reached for his laptop, only to find Goh occupying his lap as he pulled back. "How did I ever get into this with you?" he sighed.
"Because I'm irresistible," Goh grinned, red eyes glinting with humor, "Kiss me, Night Light."
"Night Light?!" Kei was about to break the laptop over the laughing brown-haired Knight's head when two slivers of energy appeared in their room and formed into the shapes of Mannen and Shin.
"Gomen nasai!" the small blonde cried, hands covering his face.
Mannen stared at them, his eyes widening slightly. Kei intervened, smothering Goh with a pillow before an enthusiastic conversation started between him and the adult Ice Knight. He leaned on it, ignoring the thrashing, and stared at the boys. "This is why so many sounds came from your room," Mannen drawled slowly. An evil grin spread across his face. "You probably drove Sasame crazy! But how did Shin figure it out before me? Does Hajime know?� he asked loudly, now facing and trying to talk with the silently crying Plant Knight.
Kei sighed, knowing he was fighting a losing battle. He removed the pillow and the Fire Knight gasped for air. He faced Mannen, both of their eyes now possessing that evil glint. Shin grabbed Mannen's arm and dragged him from the room, apologizing profusely for the troubles they caused.

Jun stared suspiciously at the man before him. The fact that he wore all white and dressed meticulously annoyed him to no end, but he answered the question, and with a smirk. "Yeah, I know Izumi-chan. We usually play together after school, but he never showed today."
A smile, evil in every way, though it may not seem so, spread across the man's face. The right eye hidden behind bangs of silver and unseen by the boy, glowed. Tracking down the Kurasaki name for a second time had been a little tough, considering the family had moved twice, but he enjoyed the challenge, and any others that would arise. "How would you like to do a job for me?"
Jun raised an eyebrow questioningly. "What's the pay?" He visibly shivered as the man's smile dipped a little and became a smirk.
