Waterfront town and a new mystery (Berry)

"I promise you." Shin smiled and kissed Gray deeply and lovingly back.

gray moans lightly and smiles "am glad.."

"Let's head back home.. I don't want to stay here any longer.." Shin said putting the kimono back on.

gray nods "all right lets go.." he smiles at shin and grabs his hand.

Shin smiled and held Gray's hand.

gray smiles happily as he walked with him.

Shin smiled as he walked with Gray.

gray looks at him "am glad your ok shin.."

"Yeah. I'm glad you come. I don't know what would have happened if you weren't there." Shin smiled.

gray blushes lightly and kisses him on the cheek.

Shin kissed Gray on the cheek back.

gray smiles and looks at the house "man i wish this walk could last longer.." he sighs and stops holding shins hand.

"Yeah.." Shin walked into the house. Kouya was nowhere to be seen, but there was a note on the couch. Shin read the note. He had a shocked look on his face as he read the note.

gray blinks and looks at him "what is it?"

"We have to go back.." Shin said scared.

gray looks at him shocked "whats going on shin?"

"Kouya went to stop the ritual from being done again..." Shin ran out of the house and was running to the forest.

gray blinks "again..." he sighs and runs after shin "wait up.." he catches up to him.

Shin had tears in his eyes as he ran.

gray looks at him worried "its going to be ok shin.. i promise..." he runs beside him.

Shin kept running. He didn't want Kouya to get hurt because of him.

gray looks at him and keeps running.

Eventually they got to the house. Shin ran straight for the basement. There were 5 of the people in the red robes there around the star, but Kouya was nowhere to be seen among them.

gray looks around and stands next to shin "do you see him anywhere?"

"What have you freaks down with Kouya!" Shin shouted worried.
One of them took down their hood... It was Kouya.
Shin hugged Kouya tightly. "I was so worried Kouya..." Shin was still crying.
Kouya didn't say anything. He just had a sad look on his face.
"Let's go back now Kouya..." Shin said.
"I can't." Kouya replied.
"Why not..." Shin said worried looking at Kouya.
"This is the only way to keep you safe..." Kouya said sadly.
Shin looked shocked and his tears still fell. "Kouya please!"
"I said no..." Kouya said.
"But I love you!! Please! Come back!" Shin hugged Kouya tightly.
Kouya gritted his teeth. "I said I can't..."
