Sick At Heart Continued…

Day 1

7:05 am

"What took you so long?" Bon asked, after he had opened the door and stepped aside to let the teen in. "You were taking so long I almost came out to look for you."

"I got stopped by someone." Shima half lied, as he walked in and silently wished Bon had come after him. "It had been a long while since I've seen him, so we kind of caught up on a few points."

"That's a relief." Bon spoke, as he closed the door and chuckled.

"What do you mean?"

"I thought Amaimon had gotten to you." The teen spoke, immediately making Shima pale out. "Rin told me the guy is still out and about. So when you took so long I thought he ran into- Hey, are you alright?"

"Yeah! I'm fine!" Shima quickly spoke, as he gave his friend a grin and tried to keep calm. "Anyway, you called me up to help you with a gift for Rin-chan?"

Bon gave the teen a nod, as he walked over and sat in a chair. The pink-haired teen's best friend running a hand through his hair, before he sighed.

"Like I told you, I need help getting a gift for Rin." Bon spoke, as he messed with the back of his head. "I thought I'd get him something for being able to stick with me for a week. You know, like a-"

"Anniversary gift?" Shima finished, his best friend giving him a nod. "You do realize Rin-chan probably hasn't gotten you anything, or even realized he had to get you anything?"

"I know." Bon spoke, as he chuckled. "But that's half the fun. I want to see his face when I give him something he really likes."

"I guess that means you're really close." Shima mumbled, as he bit his lip and stared at the floor. His voice laced with jealousy and sadness, as Bon sighed.

"Are you still on him?" Bon frowned, as the older gave him a nod. "You do realize Yukio is stuck up and over protective of Rin? There is no way you're going to get his attention. No mater how many ties you hang around him and have other girls give him your love letters. He's too hard headed."

"That's half the fun, though." Shima teased, as he used the brunette n' blonde's words against him; then paused. "Besides, I love Sensei with my whole being. There's no way I'll give up, till he tells me too."

"Then I can call him for you." Bon spoke, as he pulled out his phone and scrolled through his contacts. "Make it a lot easier on you."

"Don't!" Shima practically yelled, as he snatched the phone out of his best friend's hand. "If anyone is telling Sensei I love him, it's going to be me!"

"Alright, Alright." Bon sighed, as he backed off. "But you do realize you're getting nowhere with this?"

"I know." Shima muttered, as he played with Bon's phone. "It's really hard to tell Sensei I love him. Every time I get near him something stops me. Whether it's another classmate or teacher. I can't get close to him."

"Then let's make a deal. You help me with my Kitten's gift, and I'll help you with your Sensei."

"Deal!"


3:53 pm

Shima let out a groan, as the bell rang for Cram school to end and he lowly shoved his stuff in his backpack. The pink-haired teen giving Amaimon some credit, when he said the virus inside him would become active in an hour. That single fact coming to fruition, when a slight fever hit the teen during his first period class of the day. Which in turn slowly got worse throughout the day, especially when he got to lunch. The teen had gotten another of Rin's wonderfully cooked lunches, but only ate about a forth of it, before he had to give in. His stomach protesting against the food, leaving the teen with nothing but rice to eat. His upset stomach disappearing before he got to Cram School, and a high fever and headache to replace it soon after.

That was when Bon came up to him with the plan for him to meet Yukio alone tonight, which was sounding more like a bad idea by the second. With the teen feeling like he had been dragged through Ghenna and back, meeting his teacher might be a no go; but he had to try. If the virus inside of him was giving him this many problems off the bat, the longer he waited the worse he would get. After all, if he had ten days to get Yukio to tell him he loved him; then the virus was going to strike hard and fast. Which made the pink-haired teen scared at the least. With ten days to win he could easily be bedridden in two days time. Which could easily spell bad news for the teen. Nonetheless, he had to meet Yukio if it was the last thing he did.

"Okumura-Sensei, can I have a word with you?" Bon spoke, breaking Shima from his thoughts as he saw his best friend walking up to their teacher.

"What do you need, Suguro?" Yukio asked, as he looked up from the tests they just took.

"Well, you see, Rin told me there's someone in his class that'd love to meet you sometime and I was wondering if you'd meet them tonight." Bon spoke, as Shima pulled himself together and shoved the rest of his things in his backpack. "Just stop by and say hello. You know, maybe talk a little?"

"I don't know-"

"This classmate really cares about you, Okumura-Sensei. Do you really want to let them down?" Bon asked, laying it on as thick as he could get as Yukio's gaze turned to the desk.

"What time do I meet this classmate, and where?" Their teacher asked, after a moment of silence, making Shima's heart pound in his chest.

"Seven o'clock tonight, on the path that cuts through the cherry blossoms. There's a door at the beginning of it. That's where they'll be waiting."

Yukio gave the pink-haired teen's best friend a nod, before Shima headed out the door. Bon out a few moments later, as he gave his best friend a smile and messed up Shima's hair.

"Thanks, Bon."

"No problem. Just don't screw up, and go get him."


6:55 pm

Shima nervously fiddled with the zipper on his pink hoodie, as he silently waited for his teacher to show. It was true he was early, but if he wasn't he'd be late. So standing out in the cold for the next five minutes wasn't too bad. At least the teen could rack up the courage to tell Yukio he loved him. That and make it so his teacher couldn't recognize him from a mile away. He had already had the hood up and covering his hair, even though the hoodie was pink. It was the most girlish thing he had in his whole closet and it would have to do. All he had to do was not slouch, or shove his hands in his pockets, and he'd be fine. No slouching, stand tall, hands out of pockets, keep hands close to chest; act innocent. Within a few moments the teen was comfortable enough with himself, as he let out a shaky sigh and set a cold hand on his forehead.

The teen still had a mild fever, but it was nothing he couldn't handle. Besides, the cold air seemed to be helping a little and that was a plus. Although the teen he knew he would regret it later, at least he was feeling all right.

"Excuse me, are you the girl from Rin's class?" A voice asked, as Shima jumped at the sound of his teacher's voice. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."

Shima just nervously nodded to avoid looking at his teacher and looked toward the grass instead. Footsteps sounding a fair distance from him, before they stopped a few feet from him. Shima's heart thundering in his chest, as he kept his hands close to his chest and squeezed them together.

"A friend of my brother said you wanted to meet me?"

With that, Shima gave him a small nod.

"Can I Have your name, or something?" Yukio asked, his voice a but uncertain."

"S-Sensei already knows my name." The older teen softly spoke, as he tried his best to sound a little feminine.

"Are you in one of my classes?" The younger asked, which earned him another nod. "Can I see your face at least? It feels a bit odd if I can't see you."

Shima immediately shook his head, as he took a step back and looked away. The mood seeming to plummet, as it was silent between them and Shima nervously bit his lip.

"I'm sorry I disappointed you, Sensei." Shima spoke, as he nervously backed away. "I just wanted Sensei to know I love him is all."

"Then can I see your face?" Yukio almost pleaded, as he took a step toward him and the older teen stumbled backward.

A huge fever hitting him at that exact moment, as the teen let out a startled gasp and a hand grabbed his arm. His teacher catching him in time to pull him to his chest, and protecting him from harm, as his hood feel free. Yukio's grip on him loosening, as he stared down at the teen in shock, and Shima's face turned beat red.

"S-Shima?" Yukio stuttered in shock, as he helped the older stand and took a step back. "I-is this a joke?"

"No! It's not!" Shima quickly spoke, giving his teacher a worried look. "I know Sensei wouldn't believe me if I told him, so I kept it a secret this whole time! It wasn't till today Bon told me I should tell you, before I lost my chance. I'm so sorry I tricked you, Sensei. I just wanted you to know I love you!"

By the time the teen had finished, his face was a deep cherry red and his hands were shaking. The pink-haired teen unable to believe he had just spoken the words that just came out of his mouth. His once locked up secret now out in the open and now know by none other than the one person he never thought he'd tell. Not like the fact mattered in the least at the moment. The sudden fever the teen had gotten was unpredicted and full of warning. If he was lucky he had a few moments, even half a minute, before a more intense one hit.

"Are you sure you aren't joking?" Yukio asked, as he looked the teen over before looking around. "Nii-san didn't put you up to this?"

"No one, but me put me up to this Sensei." Shima spoke, as he gently grabbed his teacher's hand and ignored his teacher flinching at the contact. "Yes. Bon set it up, but that was only because he was helping me. No one made me do this, Sensei."

His teacher let out a sigh, as he ran a hand over his face. The pink-haired teen trying to focus as his vision started to turn fuzzy and a fever started to creep its way in.

"When did you first find out you loved me?" His teacher asked, looking at him and noticing the older's face was nearly drained of all color; his cheeks flushed. "Shima, are you alright?"

"Yeah. Just a bit dizzy." The teen mumbled, before his knees gave out and his head tried to meet the ground.

Right until a pair of arms caught him, before he could hit the earth, and a soft blurred voice called out to him. His teacher appearing in his line of vision moments later, as the exorcist pulled the older's hair back and felt his forehead. Yukio saying something his ears couldn't comprehend, but hi s eyes could. It was something about him having a bad fever, but not even he was good at reading lips. He didn't even realize he was off the ground until his head was lying against his teacher's shoulder and his knees were in sight. Which told him that his teacher had lifted him up and was carrying him somewhere, wherever he was going didn't matter, however. He was finally so close to his teacher and Yukio wasn't pushing him away. Wasn't yelling at him, or giving him an annoyed look. No insults and no comebacks. He was lying in his teacher's arms and Yukio was allowing it to happen. Letting them have that wonderful contact that the pink-haired teen had only dreamed of every night, and he couldn't be happier.

"Sh-i-ma, can y-ou hear m-e?" Yukio asked, as his teacher was looking down at him; his voice a bit fuzzy in his ears.

"Little." Shima spoke, or at least he hoped he did because of his momentarily hearing loss.

"Go-od. You near-ly passed o-ut." Yukio spoke, as he gave him a look of relief. "I'm ta-king you back to th-e dorms. Y-ou need r-est."

"I can't." The older teen spoke, before Yukio stopped and gave him a weird and worried look.

"Why?"

"I don't have a roommate, so there's no one to look after me." Shima spoke, as e leaned against his teacher's shoulder. "So there's no one to keep my fever down and check on me."

"What abou-t Suguro?"

"Too far away and he's rooming with Miwa." The teen spoke, as he momentarily closed his eyes. "Plus, I don't want to ruin his relationship with Rin-chan. They look so happy together."

After that he remembered his teacher saying something like:

"Yeah, they do."

But after that everything was fuzzy. His mind a bit of a blur and the teen slipping in and out of consciousness. He could've only guess his teacher had kept walking, because he felt a cool breeze wash over him, but he remembered nothing else. Which was completely fine with him. Even if his confession had been a near close disaster, at least he had gotten one of the few things he never wanted. To be held closely in his teacher's arms.

Yukio: *reading a new book* correction, you're a demon now *points to her tail*

Amaimon: *sitting in-between Yukio and Shima* I think it looks fine on you. brother is just being stubborn, because he hates his tail.

NiteMareB4XMAS: Thank you, Nite! I'm glad to hear you can't wait to see how this goes. To be honest, I don't know either. This fic isn't officially finished like Silent Games was. So when you guys catch up I'll be diving into this headfirst.

HeWhoCrys: Glad you're excited, and like YukiRen! I made them by a fluke in Hellfire, and I'm glad they're getting some attention, so I hope you enjoy this fic. This is my second fic for them, so I'll try my best.

blackirishawk: No, actually this is my second one. My first one was a one-shot for Yukio's birthday and it was really sketchy, but people liked it. It's called "Happy Birthday, Sensei!" But I'm excited to see how this goes too!

SilentCrimsonTears: That's great! I love to get you guys addicted to my stories, and I love your comments. So I hope you enjoy.

kooccachoo: Yes, Amaimon is having a bad day. His last game failed, so he's a little impatient and pissed off. You can say he's actually looking for something during these games, which i won't reveal, and he's frustrated, because he didn't find his awnser in the last game. That and he lost, too.

DaisyKeehl: Thank you, Daisy! I'm glad you liked Silent Games. I hope you like Sick At Heat just as much and enjoy it.

snowwolfninjaprincess-23: I agree, snow! Amaimon does need a Beta, BAD. That's why there is a possible sequel after this one, with Amaimon and my OC Kaine; but that matter is for later. And yes, Shima is going to have a hard time with Yukio. Thats why this pairing is so fun. They're practically opposites and they collide so much, so we'll have to see how it ends; cause I haven't written the ending yet.

Quiet. crash: I'm glad you really like my stories. :) I try my best to make them enjoyable for all of you, so I'm glad you enjoy them. And here's the new chapter you "NEED". Hope you like it.
