The next morning..

Just after Tatsuma woke up he felt something wrong with himself. He went to the bathroom and checked himself in front of the mirror. He easily saw the changes in his appearance. His cheeks are redder than usual, and his eyes doesn't looked that alert. When he touched his forehead, he felt warm.

"It's a fever.. I wonder how I got this." Ignoring his condition, he prepared for school. Upon his walk to Magami high school, he could feel that his condition gets worse than the last time he checked this morning. He now feels a bit of headache and dizziness. Still, he continued his walk.

A few minutes after, he finally got into the school grounds. It doesn't take too much energy walking to school but he's now huffing. Slowly, Tatsuma endured the pain and went on. When he passed on Kyouichi's favorite tree, his friend immediately saw him and went down and walked with him.

Tatsuma smiled onto his friend trying no hide his condition at the moment as much as possible. But it seems that what he wanted to do is impossible at all. Nothing could escape from Kyouichi's sharp eyes.

"Tatsuma, is there something wrong?" there. The delinquent's ayes are too observant. It now appears that he could easily read him.

"Betsu ni..." The transfer student's voice trailed off, giving him a hint that his suspicion is right. Tatsuma smiled even more to make it seem that he just choked. But he didn't buy it.

"Oi, don't try to make that happy face in front of me." Kyouichi grabs Tatsuma by the wrist and pulled him closer. Then, he made their foreheads touch together and moved away after a few seconds of silence. "You have fever." Houraiji stated. It is more of a confirmation than accusation.

"Ahmmm…" he didn't know what to say. He really can't fool his friend at this time. No matter how he would try to deny it, he would surely won't listen.

"It would be better if you would go home Tatsuma. By just looking at you, I could easily tell that you can hardly bear your condition right now."

"It'll be alright, Kyouichi. This would wear off easily." He smiled again.

"You idiot. Don't blame me if anything happens to you."

"I won't"

Kyouichi grabs Tatsuma by the shoulder and walked together. The gesture was more like he was helping Tatsuma not to fall.

"Kyouichi.."

"If you tell another word, I'm gone kill you."

Upon hearing this Tatsuma smiled.

"Will you cut that smiling?!"

Tatsuma laughed.

"You bastard—"

Before Houraiji could finish his line the two heard someone speak from behind.

"The two of you together looks good." A male voice said. Grabbing their attention they turned their gazes towards the guy who speak. It was Daigo, together with Aoi, and Sakurai.

"Who said that.." Houraiji turns his head and asked with slit eyes.

"A.. no one?" the guy immediately backed off. It is not good to clash with Kyouichi when he is not in the mood.

"Let's go, minna. If we get late, Maria-sensei will be mad at us." Aoi turned around, keeping her smile away from the group. Even so, Kyouichi still noticed it.

"Tch!"

As the class starts, Tatsuma fells that his condition got worst. His body felt heavier than this morning that he could barely move. Even his head is painful now. For others not to notice, he held his hoody up and covered his face.

On the other hand, Houraiji had been observing Tatsuma ever since they entered the classroom. Undoubtedly, the guy's condition worsens each passing minute.

This idiot didn't really know how to listen. He even noticed that the 'idiot' was deliberately trying to hide his situation from them. Unluckily Maria thought that Hiyuu-kun is sleeping again in her class just as what he always do during the lessons.

"You really never learn, Hiyuu-kun:" the teacher is now fuming with anger. She threw the chalk she was holding onto Hiyuu. Unfortunately, the guy at the moment wasn't alert enough to sense the flying chalk heading towards him.

Tatsuma couldn't contain his pain at the moment so he decided to go with the urge to sleep. Slowly, he lowered his head to lie on the desk. Before he could finally doze off to dreamland he heard a little noise of a thing hitting hardly on an object.

What a lucky kid. Kyouichi grinned onto himself when he saw his friend being able to dodge the chalk thrown to him. It looked like he really didn't sensed the chalk coming and it's just that he fell asleep that the object didn't hit him. It went straight to the person sitting next to Tatsuma.

Hating loosing on Hiyuu, Maria grabs the mop beside the door. The teacher started keeping the mop there since she discovered that it works on waking Tatsuma up. Instantly the mop goes flying to the sleeping guy. To everyone's surprise, the mop didn't even hit Tatsuma. Kyouichi already caught it before it could touch 'sleeping beauty'.

"Houraiji?" even the teacher is surprised with what happened.

"Maria-chan let Tatsuma get away this time." The delinquent's eyes were serious as he looked directly on the teacher's eyes.

It is unusual for Houraiji to look like that in class. Without a word, Alucard-sensei just turned her back and continued with the lesson.

Meanwhile, Daigo, Aoi, and Sakurai are also wondering about Hiyuu's actions. They are tempted to ask a question about it but they felt that it is not the right time to do so.

The class goes on while Tatsuma is sleeping, If kyouichi didn't wake him up he would still be sleeping until lunch.

"Tatsuma, wake up."

No answer.

"Tatsuma."

Still no answer.

"Oi, Tatsuma!" the delinquent decided to shake his friend a little bit hoping that he would finally get some reply on the sleeping guy. After a few seconds of doing so, his wishes had been heard. The guy slowly stirred to life, automatically moving it's gaze towards him.

"Kyou…ichi??" Tatsuma's eyes could hardly focus. He even doubt that it is really Kyouichi that is in front of him. He couldn't get his head to concentrate more due to the throbbing pain that he

Is currently experiencing in his head. By the few minutes he fell asleep, he couldn't say that the rest he got totally helped him. His head is even more painful and it felt that it gained weight, he could hardly lift his head off the desk. His body didn't make any better too.

"Is it breaktime..already?"

"Yeah." Kyouichi looks troubled with regards to his friends' condition. By just looking at the guys face he could tell that he is having a hard time. "C'mon, let's go upstairs." Helping Hiyuu to stand, he grabs him again by the shoulder to be able to support him while walking. While doing so, Kyouichi felt that tatsuma's temperature had gone up way far from the last time he checked upon it. "Oi, are you still okay? You're fever had gone up you know?" he can't help himself to be concerned. It was the first time he is seeing his friend in this kind of situation. It's really something unusual to see Hiyuu Tatsuma getting sick, not to mention that the guy always looked healthy and alert. But looking at him now makes you think twice about the idea.

"A.." Tatsuma couldn't nod his head even for a bit. If he did, it would surely make his sight go haywire. It's really a good thing that Kyouichi is there to help. If he was alone, he would probably end up on the cold floor.

The two were both silent as they continue along the way. The delinquent is deeply troubled by the 'transfer students'' situation. He couldn't understand why he is really having bad doubt about the current happening.

Tatsuma couldn't hold any longer. He's just bearing the pain for Kyouichi, until they could reach the rooftop. But it seems like the luck wasn't on his side for today. He unwillingly gave in.

He guy slumped onto the floor when he fainted. Houraiji was surprised when he felt that his friend's arm slipped from his hold, and found hi lying down unconscious.

"Oi, Tatsuma!"

Hiyuu-kun!" there are others who approached the two. At a distance they saw Hiyuu and Houraiji walking side by side. They decided to approach them but before the group could reach the two, they saw Hiyuu fell down.
