"Chapter 11"

Coughing, I blinked as I sat up. Looking over to my left, I saw Nagumo sitting against the rubble, facing me. Giving me a small smile, I saw him shift in place slightly, giving me full access to his black eye.

"Uhhh-" I began, not sure what to say. "What-what-what happened?" Last thing I remembered was that huge boulder obstructing our path and then-

Fuck.

Flashback:

"Fuusuke, calm the fuck down!" Nagumo yelled at me as I hyperventilated.

"Calm down? Calm down?" I screamed, "We're trapped underneath a mountain of rubble with limited air supply and no one to help us and you want me to fucking calm down?" Nagumo glared at me.

"Well aren't we positive today." he said sarcastically. I gave him my most lethal glare. He came forward and placed a hand on my shoulder.

"Look Fuusuke, I know things are bad and you're stressed but I'm sure we can work things out.

I don't know what made me snap. What he had been saying wasn't even offending or anything but the fact that he was comforting me made me feel useless. And feeling useless made me angry. My hand clenched into a fist and drew back before my mind could register what I was doing. And when my brain finally caught up with the rest of my body, my fist had already connected with his face.

Fuck. My. Life.

"Oh God." I whispered, teal eyes wide, "Nagumo, I am so so sorry. I don't know what came over me. I-"

"It's okay. You fell asleep for a while there." he said in a soft voice. We sat in silence. I tapped my fingers against my thigh. Not being able to take it anymore I opened my mouth to speak.

"Nagumo-"

"Its okay." I looked at him to see the small smile he flashed at me. I nodded, feeling more guilty than ever. "You were scared. I don't blame you for that." he continued, "I'm just better at keeping my fear at bay." I nodded.

"Are we going to die here?" I asked in a timid voice. Nagumo gave me a worried look.

"No," he said, his voice shaking more than what needed to reassure me, "We'll make it out of here. I promise." I nodded, still doubtful. He came and sat down next to me. I stiffened as he slid an arm around my shoulders but relaxed gradually. This was Nagumo-he wouldn't hurt me. He was the only one who never did...well, physically. Mentally-well, that were some scars that were bound to fade away someday or the other. Mental scars reminded me of something I had to ask him-

"Hey Nagumo," I said, turning to look at him in the eye, "I have a question."

"What is it?' he asked, giving me his undivided attention. not that there was anything to take his attention away from me-apart from the fact we might die here. Nothing besides that little detail.

"What do you need to protect me from?" I asked. The effects of my words on him were astounding. His face went pale and his pupils dilated. He opened his mouth and closed it-trying to fast talk his way out but knowing he couldn't.

"I-I-I can't tell you." he said, diverting his eyes away from me, "I'm sorry." I shrugged and let the matter go. Nagumo would tell me when he felt like it. The least I could do for him was be supportive. I rested my head against his shoulder and felt my eyes droop.

"Hey Nagumo?" I mumbled, already half asleep.

"Yeah?" He shifted so that my head was lying in his lap instead. He began to stroke my hair, making me even more drowsier.

"When we...get out of here...I want...to...visit a lawyer." I fell asleep before Nagumo could reply.

"-ake up! Fuusuke!" I opened my eyes and sat up. Nagumo had been shaking my shoulders, trying to get me out of my half dead state. "Oh thank God you're up." he said, looking frantic, "I think we need to get out of here. Fast." I raised my eyebrow and him and opened my mouth to ask him what had changed over the course of the time I was asleep that required my immediate arousal when the answer hit me like an earthquake-quite literally. The ground once again began to shake and tremble and bits of the rocks above us began to descend. I froze.

No. I can't die like this. I refuse to die like this.

Getting up, I made my way over to the other side of the wreckage. Using my hands, I began to move the boulders out of my way. Nagumo must have understood what I was doing because he began to work on it with me. Another rumble shook the ground I was standing upon and made Nagumo fall over. Getting up, he once again helped me try to dig a way out.

Why must everything get involved with have to be so life threatening?

Hibisha: Well here's the last chapter for this part.

TOBF: Part 2 will be published after Afuro's part 1 and Nagumo's part 1 have been released. Hey Hibs, when do you plan on releasing one of them?

Hibisha: Midway of August. I hope people keep reading it. Oh, and I want reviews on this chapter please. A one shot of mine got no reviews and I'm just sitting here broken.

TOBF: Drama queen.

Hibisha: On a serious note, do review and tell me whose story you want next. Nagumo or Afuro?
