Sorry for the lateness!
I chose to do the Sakura-tetsu
side for this part...
And I'm keeping the sakusaku-tetchan
thing one-sided, really...^^x;;
*yawn* Tired...*falls down
dead asleep*

Sakura stepped outside the house in silence. Tetsu followed the raven-haired man, shivering slightly at the night chill.
"Cold?" Sakura asked with a gentle smile.
Tetsu smiled too and shook his head. Being a Star, weather didn't affect him as much as they did the human beings; but then Tetsu had always been somewhat delicate.
The Star looked up in surprise as Sakura took off his own jacket and put it over his frail shoulders. "But how about you?"
Another smile graced Sakura's handsome features. "I'm fine."
The smaller man unconciously blushed as he gratefully smiled back.
Silence stretched between them. The only sound was the faint poundings of the waves of the dark sea.
Tetsu was thinking of the one called Hyde, who now lay unconcious in the little house. He wasn't sure if it was Hyde who'd called for him, but he could feel something...out of place with that beautiful man. Tetsu had never seen such a lost soul. And those midnight jewel eyes contained such carefully guarded rue...
What baffled him was that he felt evilness as well. But how could such beautiful being be evil?
"Possible. Evilness isn't beautiful, but beauty can be evil."
Startled, Tetsu stared at Sakura with widened eyes. "You can read my mind? But how...?"
The dark man returned Tetsu's gazes with his own evenly, fondness clear in those deep, ebony eyes. "Don't you already know who I am? Then look more closely. Can you still not tell, however faintly?"
Tetsu continued to stare at him. Then he lowered his eyes. "I..." A cool gust of wind swept over their surroundings, ruffling the Star's long flowing auburn hair and his moonlight robe.
Almost as if enchanted by his beauty, Sakura took a step toward the delicate man, who stepped back. Sakura paused, and then chuckled softly.
"Ah, now you fear."
But Tetsu moved near him again, and almost defiantly, he touched Sakura's arm and whispered, "No, I do not. I do not fear /you/...."
