Silence.

Sweet Silence.

If you were some crazy hyped up nimrod from the looney bin.

A silver kitsune wearing his trademark bandana around his neck, red sweater, dark, baggy jeans, and blue tipped in odd places, was sitting on a bench near another being in a park.

The Other being was a brown rabbit with dark markings, while a shiny mew floated near the rabbit.

These were.

Kaiten, Rose, and Lily.

Rose finally piped up. "K-Kai- kun..? Why did you do that...?"

Kai answered simply. "I had to protect you. I couldn't do it just sitting in the ditch holding your hand."

Lily nudged Rose. "C'mon, you can tell he likes you, tell him..."

Kai's ear twitched and his odd Ruby and Sapphire eyes shifted.

Rose hesitated.

Kai smiled that odd, seldom occuring smile. ".. I care about you, Rose.."

Rose's muzzle now had a pink hue to it.

Kai turned to Rose. ".. Yeah, I'd protect you through God himself."

Rose smiled hesitantly.

"..." They both said nothing, then looked away, a pink hue to both of their muzzles.
