VIEW OF LOVE

Author: Kamui, Keax-XV, Mayumi


--
It was a dark night, there was no light the dark night sky seemed to generate more darkness because of the black-out that was plaguing the city.

A certain redhead, without the comfort of his gundam was walking all alone is the cold, dark night. Even the moon was blocked, and there was inconceivably no light...a pair of foxy blue eyes were watching like a predator that watches his prey.

" Tonight you'll be mine."

Unknowing of the man, the redhead was whistling to himself, feeling rather happy.

Stealthily, the foxy blue eyes gained on to him. With the speed of light he pushed the redhead to the nearest wall and gave him a bruising kiss. The redhead was shocked.

Who was this person? Suddenly his attacker began to rove his hands all over the redhead's body. In alarm the redhead pushed the man with foxy eyes.

" WHO ARE YOU?" he asked angrily.

"Who am I? Are you sure you want to know? Let's just say somebody who likes you."

" Teme yo!" his honey-brown eyes flared. Sakuragi then closed in on the man, just to realise who the man truly was.

" Kitsune!!! This isn't funny!!! Are you trying to humiliate me!!! TEME!!!

Suddenly Rukawa crushed his lips upon Sakuragi's harshly at first, and then slowly it began to mellow down. Like he was trying to taste the REAL of the situation.

" Why are you doing this to me? Do you really hate me that much as to humiliate me like this?" Sakuragi asked whispering sadly.

' Hate you? Don't you understand Sakuragi?" Rukawa muttered, his face though not seen, contorted in pain.

" Understand? All I understand is that you hate me as much as you do to do this to me..." Sakuragi glared, his eyes filling with the usual hatred he shown unto the man.

" Are you too blind to see that I love you?" Rukawa whispered hoarsely

" What do you know about love? What can a cold bastard like you can possibly know about love? Answer me!!" Hanamichi asked

" Obviously more than you do!" Rukawa snapped.

" What the f-" Sakuragi tried to say, instead he felt a soft pair of lips claim his.

" What I know is that I'm not stupid enough NOT to love you," Rukawa whispered, emotion filling his eyes totally.

" Baka!! Don't you know that I hate you with all my heart and I only love Haruko? You bastard! How can you say these things when we're sworn enemies!!" Sakuragi shouted

" Sworn enemies? I never swore anything, what do I care of that bitch, you don't love her! I know you don't, I see it in your eyes, and have you seen how she looks at you?" Rukawa's eyes were flaring up again.

"Yes she doesn't love me, she likes you of all people! Why couldn't she have loved me instead of you? She's too good for you." Sakuragi's temper flared.

"Too good for me? She ISN'T for me! She's never going to BE with ME because all I care about is YOU do'ahou!" Rukawa shouted angrily, obviously never having this feeling before kicked something, which more likely resembled a trashcan. Hanamichi's eyes widened he had never seen this side of Rukawa before.

Sakuragi didn't move as Rukawa slowly made his way onto Sakuragi.

" Do' ahou... do you know what it feels to love? Do you still claim that you love that stupid excuse of a girl?" Rukawa growled.

" I DO love her!" Sakuragi protested, unconsciously taking a step back...and found himself backing into the wall. Rukawa advanced towards Sakuragi like a cheetah stalking silently, creeping over to the prey.

Enraged, Sakuragi tried to push Rukawa away. Rukawa slammed him back against the wall and glared at him with a glint in his piercing blue eyes.

"No. You don't know what is love...admit it, ahou...you just have an infatuation over her!"

Sakuragi tried to break away from Rukawa's hold but to no avail. It seems that Rukawa was much more stronger than he was.

" Hanase!!! Rukawa!!!" Sakuragi screamed. " I don't love you at all."

"We'll just see about that ahou,' Rukawa thought.

" Yamero!" Sakuragi yelled, but no matter how much he screamed and yelled he couldn't seem to get it through to the icy cold and now dangerously angry man.

Rukawa's heart ached as he gazed into the brown eyes, fully revealing Sakuragi's fear and anxiety. Sakuragi was now vulnerable, completely at Rukawa's mercy.

"Take him...you can do whatever you want with him..." a voice in Rukawa's mind commanded. But Rukawa, for some reason, cannot seem to be able to move.

Staring at Sakuragi who had by now, crouched down, he whispered. "Why do you hate me so?"

" Because... because you took Haruko away from me. You have a horde of girls after you and you still take Haruko. She likes you and now you say you love me. Damn you bastard!!"

Rukawa shook his head, though was not seen by the redhead in the pitch blackness.

" I never stole her away from you," Rukawa crouched down by Sakuragi's side.

" I can't understand why she can't love me," Sakuragi muttered, running a hand through his hair.

" Maybe it just was never meant to be," Rukawa closed his eyes, Maybe you were meant for me he thought.

As the moon peeked through the clouds, Sakuragi found himself staring intently at Rukawa the second he closed his eyes. The black, silky bangs covering the now-shut eyes, the dark, lush lashes and the smooth white skin. Sakuragi abruptly felt a flush heating up his face. He jerked his head up to
stare elsewhere as he tried to fully comprehend the hidden meaning behind Rukawa's words.

"Meant to be? As in fate?" Sakuragi whispered. " Fate. It can't be. That can't be true. We're destined to be enemies right from the first day we met."

" Do'ahou. You still don't understand do you?"

" What don't I understand?" Sakuragi reacted angrily, trying to get up.

Suddenly, his efforts of standing up we're thrown away as he felt a hand of his knee and a pair of lips on his, sucking gently, then it pulled away.

" Can't you feel it?" Rukawa asked.

" Feel what?" Sakuragi asked confused.

" The way you're heart beats faster, and chills just running up and down you're spine," Rukawa lifted his head to look directly into Sakuragi's eyes.

Sakuragi was stunned speechless. Racking his brains for an insult to shoot back at Rukawa, he found himself warming towards Rukawa despite himself. "I can't..."

Sakuragi tried uselessly to fight the growing amorousity in him. Rukawa knew the Sakuragi was confused and hooked. He leant in and kissed him chastely on the lips again.

This time, not even Sakuragi could deny the burning passion he felt in his heart and the way he was responding to the kiss.

" I don't understand you..." Sakuragi murmured, when Rukawa broke off the kiss.

" Who can understand a person in love?" Rukawa asked in irony.

" Can you show me how it feels to be in love? Can you help me forget Haruko-san?" Sakuragi asked, hope building in his voice.

Rukawa felt his heart cry out in happiness as he took Sakuragi into his arms and whispered huskily, "Yes, yes, believe in me...love would never have the same meaning again..." He touched his lips gently to the redhead's forehead and stroked the silky fiery hair. Sakuragi smiled, "Let's hope you are speaking the truth...Kaede."

" How can I lie to you Hanamichi? You know that you're the only one I love and I swear we'll never be apart. No matter what happens. I will be there for you... Aishiteru Hanamichi." Rukawa murmured

Suddenly out of sheer happiness Sakuragi kissed Rukawa. When Sakuragi pulled back he retorted in a loud voice

" Oi! Kitsune, keep that promise! I don't want that baka Sendoh to come and get you from me! I can see how he looks at you!"

" Do'ahou... don't tell me you're jealous," Rukawa's voice turned teasing.

" What! How can Tensai be jealous! " Sakuragi tried to stand up again but noticed that he was in a tangle of legs and arms.

"And how do you know he's interested when you don't even look at me?" Rukawa pointed out.

When the clouds passed over the moon Rukawa saw the way Sakuragi's face underwent a surprising change as he went white as if his blunder had been found out and then blushed adorably for a few seconds as he grumbled, "Baka Kitsune...You really had to make me say it out loud, do you?... Fine. I did look at you more then usual after the Sannoh match and I rejoined the team after therapy." Rukawa could not help but grin just slightly at the blush splashed across Sakuragi's face.

"You did take notice of me, didn't you?"

" Well.. ano..." Sakuragi stuttered, looking away from Rukawa's deep blue gaze to avoid the growing embarrassment.

" So you did notice me then," whispered in fascination.

" Yes and I saw that hentai Sendoh looking at you," Sakuragi said defiantly as his embarrassment turned into stubbornness.

Rukawa pulled Sakuragi for a kiss.

'Wait let's stop for now," Sakuragi said silently as he pushed away Rukawa hesitantly.

" Why?" Rukawa asked.

" We're moving too fast," Sakuragi stuttered.

" I'll wait then, I'll wait for you until the end of time comes," Rukawa whispered in Sakuragi's ear. Suddenly the lights turned on one by one.

" Kaede..." Sakuragi whispered as he blinked, his eyes trying to get used to the light.

" Hana...." Rukawa kissed Sakuragi's lips which we're swollen red from all the times he kissed Sakuragi, making the cherry lips seem sweeter than they were.

Sakuragi grinned in bliss as he returned the kiss with much passion and fervour. He knew that nothing has ended. But something had just begun.

" Get a room both of ya!" Somebody hooted.

" Make that a soundproof room." Another somebody added.

Sakuragi turned around and saw Miyagi and Mitsui who were both standing there smirking.

Sakuragi blushed.

"Don't mind them. We're going to get a room now," Rukawa dusted his pants off and held out a hand to help Sakuragi get up.

"Now?" Sakuragi blinked blushing into Rukawa's eyes.

" Yes now." Rukawa said in his monotonous voice.

So Sakuragi and Rukawa had broken the wall that stood in between them.

~~~ The End ~~~
