All I Want Is You

kaji drew them another bath since they were both a sticky mess

Ushio drank a tall glass of cool milk, before getting into the tub with a mystery novel.

whatcha reading " kaji asked as he slipped into the tub

She frowned and pushed him out. "You can have your turn later. This? Skullduggery Pleasant," she said, grinning.

kaji sighed and left seeing as she wanted to bathe alone

Ushio didn't, she wanted to be with him, but he was acting so cold...

Ushio sighed and put away her book. A few minutes passed and she was asleep, her head sliding under the water. 'Kaji-kun...

kaji too a peep in on her with his byakugan and noticed her slipping under the water. he flung open the door and pulled her out

Ushio didn't respond, she had breathed in water and wasn't breathing anymore.

kaji preformed cpr franticly

A bit of water came out...but it was no use, Ushio was limp.

no heart beat " he said charging his palms " clear " he pressed it down on her chest with electricity surging through his his fingertips " Live Damn It "

The electricity went to her brain, making her hiccup. Twice.

Her heart was beating again so kaji relaxed. He shook her and held her now in a tight hug " don't ever scare me like that again "

"Chocolate chicken foie gras," she mumbled, before rubbing her eyes and opening them. "Hm? How'd I get here? I had such a nice nap...."

Nap you almost drowned in the tub " kaji said Voice racked with worry

"What? Naaah, don't be silly." She laughed and got back into the water.

Look at me" he said voice ragged, his eyes were clouded with worry "Ushio you nearly dying is not something I joke about "

She narrowed her eyes. "Stop being a baby. Have you not noticed you are frequently cold to me? I do not know why and it hurts me. Yet you always do it anyway. If you want to talk about worry or fear of loneliness, don't come to me 'cos I've had enough," she snapped.

Ushio drained the tub and left.

Kaji bit his tongue and drew the curtain around the tub after he got in. a nice hot shower was what he needed

----

It was not often 8 year old Nami Nara-Susanoo saw her adoptive family splinter ' they are fighting more often than usual' she thought munching on some white pocky

Ushio was lonely and insecure and paranoia... She was a girl, and stupid it may be, when she pushed, she wanted him to bear it to the end because she'd always break.

Ushio got into bed, though it was still afternoon, and read more of her book.

kaji emerged from the shower, dried off and looked at ushio.
he said nothing as he got in bed beside her. he put his arm over her waist and semi-cuddled her

She instinctively cuddled back into him, her head on his shoulder and her left hand with her fingers intertwined with his. Cold as she may seem, she still loved him. She just wanted him to overcome her stupidity and love her.

She absentmindedly kissed his shoulder and flipped a page.

" I love you " he said quietly

"Nnh." Ushio hid her smile and continued reading. She tilted her head and planted tiny pecks under his ear, on his jaw, neck and shoulder, still reading.

Kaji however grinned widely " apparently you love me too " he said happily
