Kaguya rolled over and grumbled. Then, she rolled over again, and again. Dammit. She got up out of her futon, and stormed out of her room. It was late- er, early. A clock on the wall read 3:42. The clinic was completely silent for the first time all day. Kaguya made her way down the hall; thick shadows spilled onto the floorboards. She was nearly entirely blinded by the darkness, but by now she'd memorized every inch of Eientei. Her feet carried her instinctively on. She came to a halt in front of a closed wooden door, and slid it open. Inside was a comfortably small room with a single large overstuffed futon in the center; nuzzled up in its blankets lay a sleeping Tewi Inaba. Her wavy brown hair lay in disarray across her face and pillow. Kaguya slid in, and delivered a sharp kick to the sleeping girl. She shot up yelping.
"OW! What the heeeeeeeellllll?" She squinted up through the darkness, attempting to make out who'd woken her. "Shit, Kaguya, be a little gentler."
"Come on. Get up." Kaguya hissed. The girl grumbled and got to her feet. Together they silently made their way back. Kaguya slid back into her own futon, and made room for Tewi, who snuggled up in it, and almost immediately was out cold. Kaguya let out a sigh of relief, and buried her face in the girl's hair. She'd always had trouble sleeping alone. The night allowed for the thoughts she'd rather keep down come bubbling up to the top of her mind. By now, Reisen and Tewi had become accustomed to being kidnapped by Kaguya without protest. Her stomach gave an uneasy churn, and she pulled Tewi in. Tonight was one of those nights where Eirin was up late again working. An unfortunate falling accident assured that. So, the doctor was going to be out of bed all night- bustling around between her office, her pharmacy's supply room, and the patient's bed. Kaguya sighed, and attempted to push down a bang that went through her heart. She wrapped her arms more tightly around Tewi, and forced herself into a light dreamless sleep.
