Hey there people. This one sort of leaves on a cliffhanger so don't hate me for it! I promise I will update if you give me two more reviews!!!!!!

Chapter 4: Uh-Oh

It was the weekend now. Sano and Nakatsu were at a weekend training camp for athletes. I stayed in my room all day alone. Coughing and reading magazines that I normally couldn't read when Sano was around was the only thing that I really did.

The only time I left the room was when Yujiro needed to be fed. Even he looked at me with sad eyes as I coughed. I had managed to get by the last few days pretending I was fine, but I didn't know how much longer I could. It was exhausting to be sick, but even more exhausting to be sick pretending not to be sick.

I sat on my top bunk staring at the ceiling. It felt lonely without Sano, quiet without Nakatsu. I would've been with the other guys but they went swimming and god knows I can't go! I wished I had something to do or someone to talk to.

Later that night I was sitting in my bed. Coughing like a mad woman; doing anything in my power to get rid of the feeling of water in my lungs. A deep burning pierced my chest and throat. The coughing wouldn't stop. No matter how much I tried to resist I couldn't. In my final attempt to stop the coughing I heaved one last heavy, very forceful, cough.

Finally the coughing stopped. But my attention was drawn to something else. What lay in my hands. I was stunned. "What the hell…," I thought. It scared me to stare at his thing in my hand; but it scared me more to think about what Sano would think if he ever found out, which I would never let that happen. It was…

B…b…blood…!

This really was serious. I couldn't pass it off as a cold… not anymore. It was too late to go to Umeda's. I got up and washed my hands.

"I will go in the morning," I told myself climbing back into my bed. I tried my hardest to go to sleep but I couldn't. The thought of what just happened sort of traumatized me. "I wish Sano was here," I thought to myself. I wanted his comfort. I needed his comfort.

As a substitution for Sano I crawled into his bed. The smell of Sano's shampoo lingered on the pillow. It calmed me. I let my nostrils fill with that smell and then slowly went to sleep.

I woke up the next day trying my hardest to block the images of yesterday night. I wished it was a dream. I told myself it was a dream, but I knew it wasn't. I could still feel the burning in my chest and throat.

I decided to take a shower before I went to Dr. Umeda's office. I still smelt like blood and sweat and the feeling of both liquids clung to causing me to almost get sick. I also knew that Sano was going to be back soon and I wanted to be clean for him. What… did that sound weird? I really didn't mean for it to sound weird I just want to look good for Sano, that's all. Anyway back to business…

I hopped into the shower and got out feeling fresh and new. I put some boxers on that I brought into the bathroom. I was about to put my vest, when pain surged through my body. I fell to the bathroom floor. I couldn't stand the pain. Tears rain down my face and onto the bathroom floor, my vision blurred, I fell limp, the darkness…

[Nakatsu and Sano walked off the bus, having just gotten back form their camp. They walked to the dorm. Their bodies covered in sweat and dirt. There was light conversation between them and occasional laughter. They just seemed like happy teenage guys, which they were, for now anyway.

When they reached there hallway they noticed it was quiet. Too quiet. They wondered what was up.

Sano walked into his room. He was surprised to see that it was empty. He put his bag on the bed. Sano didn't hear the shower running either.

"Where's Mizuki," he thought to himself. He opened the bathroom door and…

Nakatsu stretched on his bed. He felt tired and sore. He hated how they made them practice in such hot weather. He was also thirsty. Reluctantly Nakatsu got up and went to the lobby to get a drink.

He was surprised to see so many kids there. They were huddled up in a corner, listening intently to a few guys talking. Nakatsu ignored them. "More stupid rumors," he thought. He was about to go back to his room after he got his soda, when from the group of people he heard the name "Ashiya."

He listened closely. "Yeah, didn't you guys here," said a guy from the crowd secretively. "They found Ashiya on the bathroom floor…," before he could say anything more Nakatsu grabbed him pinned him to the wall.

"TELL ME EVERYTHING," he demanded.
