Reina: Here's the next part!

Also, this is officially a Leokumi fic. If you don't like it, then don't read it.

Leo

At some point, I fell asleep. I don't know when though, but it took a while. After a while, I woke up, utterly confused.

It was then I noticed two things....

1) I was still handcuffed to this stupid bookcase.

2) Someone was checking my pulse.

My eyes opened up and I lashed my leg out, hitting the youngest Hoshidan prince in the leg. He stumbled backwards, cursing.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" He hissed.

"You woke me up," I replied.

"I needed to make sure you were alive."

"Uh... Why?" I asked as I cocked my head.

"I asked Corrin where you were and she said, "Oh, he's handcuffed in my bedroom. He won't escape.' I didn't believe her, and when I came her, you didn't respond to anything I said."

I glared at him. "I was asleep, idiot."

"Yeah, I know that."

I looked at him. "Look... I just want to be left alone right now. Could you please leave?"

"You want me to leave you handcuffed to the bookcase?"

I laughed. "Haha.... Nope. I just know better than ask you to free me-"

Suddenly Takumi pulled out his gun and pulled the trigger. I froze, totally unaware that the handcuffs had separated and I now had two metal bracelets.

Takumi smirked and put his gun away. "A thank you would be nice."

"YOU ALMOST SHOT ME!" I yelled. "WHAT THE F*** IS WRONG WITH YOU?!"

"I WAS AIMING FOR THE HANDCUFFS!" Takumi replied.

"YOU COULD HAVE GOTTEN THE KEY!"

"I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE IT WAS!"

I stepped forward angrily, forcing Takumi to step back until he was up against the wall. He went to punch me, but I grabbed his hand and held it tightly.

"You really-"

"I'm back Leo!" Corrin's voice chirped through the door. She opened it and walked in, only to stop. Takumi and I both looked at her.

She smiled. "I'll come back later.... Just don't get my bed or wall dir-"

"Corrin!" I yelled as I let go of Takumi. "It's not what it looks like!"

Corrin rolled her eyes. "Sure... I'm your older sister, Leo. I know when you -"

"TMI!" Takumi yelled.

I stepped back. "Corrin, don't you dare give me the sex talk. Hearing from Xander and then Camilla was bad enough. I do not need to hear it from dad or you."

"Or what? You'll die of embarrassment?" Corrin smirked.

"Probably!"

Corrin looked at the two of us. "Hmm... Neither of you-"

Takumi and I pointed at each other. "BESIDES - I DON'T NEED TO HEAR THAT IN FRONT OF HIM!"

"Wow.... You both yell in harmony..." She laughed. She then eyed me. "Leo.... What happened to the handcuffs?"

"Now you ask?" Takumi face palmed.

"Oh.... Pineapple here nearly shot me in the face when he broke these with his gun."

"Don't call me Pineapple!" Takumi hissed.

Corrin tried not to laugh. "Takumi, don't shoot your boyfriend."

"HE'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND!" We both screamed.

Corrin held her hands up. "Okay, okay, I get it. You hate each other's guts. Try not to kill each other.... Leo, you're staying here until we can figure out what to do with you."

"Seems fair," I replied.

Corrin pointed to the door. "I'll be right back... I need talk to Ryoma about something.... Takumi, don't shoot Leo."

She left, leaving me alone with Takumi. The silence grew thicker by the second.

I smirked at him. "I think you have to get going.... Pineapple."

Takumi glared at me then stomped out of the room. "CORRIN! HELP ME FIND A GOOD INSULT FOR LEO!!!"

I laughed until I couldn't hear his voice. I then sat down in Corrin's armchair, hoping that I could get some sleep.

As I did so.... Pain entered my chest from loneliness.....

......

Where did it come from?

Reina: Whoops, I messed up Corrin a bit.

Anyway, I hope you guys liked the chapter.

Six votes for more... Nine votes for... I don't know, maybe Leo and Takumi will accidentally kiss each other in the next chapter.

Until next time!

Random fact: If you were to count the A/N at the beginning and the end with the story, the "a" after Corrin in the second A/N is the 666th word in this chapter. The "if" in the first author's note is the 13th word.
