Heads up! Junjou characters have been added!

"Well," Kaito is sweating now, "We have got to get going."

Rin walks up and hugs Kaito, "Get better soon Kaito."

"I'm fine," Kaito lies.

Len kicks him, "We saw you take the potion."

He sighs, "I'll get better soon promise."

Kaito leans on me, his potions are getting burned up quickly, "Thanks everyone," I smile and start walking with Kaito. Gumi is already in the truck, in the back there are various things people got for Kaito… and then a few things for me too, "Kaito," I whisper as I help him in the truck, "You gunna sleep?"

"Yeah," he nods at me as he sits in my lap again and curls up in a ball, "The potions are almost gone… I must be really sick," he laughs, "Please take good care of me," he leans his head on my chest and he sighs, "You smell good Gaku chan…" he mutters.

I blush a little, "Th-thanks."

"When we get home… make sure you harvest the mushrooms today… you never know when we might run out," he wraps his arms around my one arm and falls asleep. Gumi starts to drive.

"This is as far as I can go," Gumi sighs, "Want me to help carry?"

I shake my head, "I'll go into dog mode and make him hold on tight," I chuckle, "Will you load up my back?"

"Of course," she smiles and watches as I set Kaito down carefully and then I jump off and become a giant spiritual wolf in a puff of smoke. I let my giant tails make a makeshift basket and Gumi helps me get Kaito and everything on my back.

"Run safe," Gumi waves as I run away.

"Kaito, are you comfortable?" I murmur.

"I am," he smiles at me weakly, a wet cloth on his forehead, covered in blankets and a soft fire going in the fireplace, "Thanks…"

"Mind if I go take care of the mushrooms?" I fight the urge to hug him and lay in the bed with him with all I have.

"Gaku chan…" the old nic name he had for me when we first met before he became more serious, "Don't leave," he was in tears, "If you leave, you might never come back…" he reaches a hand toward me, "Stay… stay by me," his eyes plead with me, "I don't want Darkness to take you away from me too."

I walk back over to Kaito and kiss his forehead, "I'm here," I smile at how cutely sick he is… I know this sounds horrible, but I really just want to touch him… I wonder if he knows how much I love him? I mean… he found me when I was a dying youkai… he brought me back and didn't expect me to be his servant… he let me stay in my house… he was getting ready to leave again when I asked him to stay by my side… "I'll never leave you until you tell me to."

"Don't let Darkness kill you too," he holds my hand and turns on his side.

"I won't, I promise," I smile softly at Kaito and how he totally thought I would disappear.

I kiss his forehead again and I notice a flush under his flu induced blush, "Gaku chan…"

"Sleep Kaito, you're sick," I laugh a little.

While Kaito falls asleep again, I use mental power to start some food for when he wakes up… wizards eat far more than normal people… not as much as me, but a lot. There's a soft knock on the door and I quietly call, "Come in."

Nowaki walks in with a big smile, "How's Kaito faring?"

"Worse than he should be because he was stupid and took some potions. So he wants me to stay here with him," I sigh.

"Want me to go collect mushrooms?" Nowaki smiles, "Hiro-san is working late at the library today."

"Please do."

Told by Nowaki

I walk under a large oak tree and notice some bricktops… Gakupo sent me out with a bow and arrow… I wonder why… is it because he isn't here now? I start picking them and putting them into a bag. As I continue to pick, I leave a few to continue to give off more mushrooms soon…. Up ahead is a small clearing with a ton of puffball mushrooms… I start to pick those too… That's when I notice a small shadow following me… What the hell is it?

A bunny jumps out and I laugh at myself.

As I continue picking mushrooms I realize that's the first time I've been in the house…. It was a one room…. Rather on the medium-small size… and there was only one bed…. That was obviously used by two people… there's an impression on both sides of the bed… obviously from use over a long time… I also noticed lamps and things instead of electricity… it's definitely different… Are they that close?

"Hey," I call, "I'm back."

The door flicks open and Gakupo glares demonically, "Don't yell so loud you idiot! He's sick!" his whisper was low but full of a threat that he didn't have to follow explain for me to understand… He is scarier than Hiroki sometimes…

"Sorry," I'm quiet now, "I got as many mushrooms as I could find."

Kaito is pale and sweating, Gakupo is staying near him, "Thanks," he smiles, "I'll start working when he lets me get up."

"He really is sick, eh?"

"A little bit," Gakupo smiles, "I have a feeling Hiroki wants to see you… You will run into Akihiko on your way. Travel quickly and you can avoid him."

"Th-thanks," I nod.

Told by Kaito

I know I'm asleep… but I'm out of my body… and Gakupo is going about his business, still holding my hand… to check if I'm really 'conscious' I punch myself and feel the pain in my jaw. Gakupo becomes alert from his eyes open and still functioning sleep. I yell, "Gakupo!"

He jumps to attention, "Kaito?!"

"I'm out of my body right now," I sigh, "Can't you see me? You're supposed to be a powerful chimera."

He turns red, "I'm totally hallucinating…" he's looking right at me now. He definitely sees me.

"Listen, listen, listen," I chuckle, "I have some sort of Wizard Flu… Get aloe, bee pollen, blue flag… actually…can you channel energy still?" I tap my chin as I feel myself phasing out, "If you can do that-" I get sucked back into my body. I feel a groan of pain escape my lips and more heat escapes my body… it's so damn cold… so freaking cold…
