He was out and about, moving around way before his lover was waking up. The sky was still dark, but it was somewhere close to dawn. He looked around, a little too cautious for what's going on. He couldn't help it as he stood at the patio, looking at her sleeping peacefully.

He ruffled his white hair harshly, letting out a frustrated sigh. He hadn't been sleeping well despite being next to the one he loves so deeply. He wasn't able to, he was on his toes whenever he shut his eyes. He couldn't sleep peacefully.

He was worried. He was worried that what had happened back then might come true. Did he dream of all those unnecessary nightmares? Or did it in fact happened? He didn't know, but what he knew was that he had to protect her with his life on the line.

He couldn't risk having her taken away from him again, risk losing the baby as well. They were going to be his pride and joy, and that's what he wants in the end.

He watched the way her long black hair was sprawled messily over the pillow as her pink-tinted lips parted. The way she slept now was all calm and peaceful, all that he ever wanted to see on her face. Yet, he frowned when he saw her frowning in her sleep.

Tossing and turning.

He quickly made his way towards her and sat down next to her on their shared futon, watching as she turned and her hand found its way towards his hand, where he grabbed hold of her hand and held it dearly in his hand.

He brought it up, planting a kiss on the back of it and soon used his thumb to caress the back of it. He watched as she soon stopped frowning as she started to relax, letting out a contented sigh then as he continued to hear light snoring coming from her.

"I love you..." he whispered out softly as he started to lay back down on the futon. He watched as she shifted in her sleep and her tired pair of lavender eyes opened, staring at him in confusion. Her pink-tinted lips parted as she shifted and snuggled closer to him.

"Cold..." she whispered out softly and Sanemi hummed in response, wrapping his arms around her protectively as he planted a kiss on her forehead. He then rested his chin on her head as her face buried in the crook of his neck, drifting off to sleep once more.

"I swear... This time... I'll protect you..." he whispered to himself as he started to caress her back with his hand. A gentle smile appearing on his lips then as he felt her hold on him tightening as if acknowledging with what he had said. He chuckled softly as his pale purple eyes started to shut slowly.

"I love you too... Nemi..." he heard her whisper, and he couldn't help but pull her closer to him. Everything precious to him was in his arms right now. But the moment his eyes shut, it snapped open as his body tensed up.

He shifted as he pried [name] off from his arms and he stood up quietly, grabbing hold of his nichirin blade that laid beside the futon. His pale purple eyes narrowed dangerously as he looked around.
