The next morning, Thoth woke up to soft groaning and rustling of sheets. Immediately, he snapped open his eyes and sat up. Looking over, he saw Yui tossing and turning in her sleep. At least, attempting to since half of her body hadn't started recovering yet. He swung his legs over the bed and immediately went to her side laying a hand on her forehead.

"Kusanagi." He cooed to try to softly wake her up from her dreams.

She stopped turning once she heard his voice, but she only responded in a small whimper, "N-nnno..."

He furrowed his brows and laid a hand on her arm that was resting on her stomach. He softly shook her arm. "Kusanagi, what's wrong?"

Slowly, her cinnamon colored eyes revealed themselves back to the world and blinked away the intense morning light coming through the windows. "T-Thoth?"

In response, he stroked her hair back from her face, "I'm here Kusanagi. How are you feeling?"

She slowly turned her head over to look at him, "I'm tired, but I-I th-ink that I a-okay now."

He gave her an uncharacteristic soft smile that took her breathe away. "Kusanagi, you need to eat. You haven't eaten since yesterday morning and you're weak."

She nodded her head in agreement.

Walking over to the doors, he turned his head to look back at her, "Those idiots of yours want to see you, so I will have them bring you in some food and help you eat. Half of the muscles in your face isn't working properly and you'll need the help."

She gave him a half smile (due to half of her face not working) and nodded. "Thank you T-T-Thoth. I would app-preciate t-that."

He nodded and reached out towards the door.

"T-thoth?"

He froze and turned back around to look at her raising an eyebrow.

"W-will you be back here l-later?"

He nodded his head and turned back to the door. "Of course, I am the only one competent enough to be of any real help to you. Besides, everyone here wants to see you get better."

Without another glance, he opened the infirmary doors and walked out, leaving Yui alone in her bed.

Outside of the infirmary the gods were all sitting up against the wall looking exhausted, but antsy. Apollon was the first to stand to speak with him. "Master Thoth, is Fairy-san okay?"

He sighed and crossed his arms. "Didn't I tell you to go back to your dorms to sleep."

Dionysus nodded and stood up. "We tried, but we were all so worried that the second that the doors to the school were unlocked this morning we camped out here."

He let out a disappointing sigh before closing his eyes. "She is going to be fine, but she is going to need help for awhile. She needs all of you to be patient with her because she won't be able to do much by herself for awhile."

Takeru stood and stared at him with purple bags underneath his eyes. "What the hell does that mean!?"

Thoth sent him back a death glare of his own, causing the smaller god to take a step away from him. "What it means is that she will need help walking, eating, drinking, writing, and most motor functions for awhile. The right side of her body will recover in time, but for now she won't have full proper control over them. I will help her with the rehabilitation, all of you will do as I say and none of you will complain about it."

Apollon looked a little sad, but he nodded in agreement. "We can see her right?"

Thoth sighed and nodded. "I'm going to go and see Zeus to discuss the situation. She hasn't eaten and will need something soft to eat. I would advise against any sort of soup because she can't control half of her mouth. Along the same lines, nothing tough like meat since she won't be able to chew it properly. I'll leave it up to you to decide what to give her. Whatever you give her, you will have to help her eat it. She is very weak."

Walking down the hallway, he made his way towards Zeus's throne room, leaving the gods looking at each other with exhausted and worried expressions.

Yui sat up alone in her room while waiting for the gods to return.

She was thinking back to how Thoth was acting around her. She understood that he was the only person on campus that could help her and he was doing a wonderful job at it. On top of that, she actually saw him smile! His touch was warm and his voice was soothing to her. She remembered that the last time she had a stroke, her brothers weren't allowed to visit her because all they did was tease her about not being able to move right.

Thoth on the other hand, he was kind and caring and showed didn't try to intimidate her as he usually does on a daily basis. She saw a side of him that not many people have seen and she felt honored to have experienced it firsthand.

The opening of the infirmary doors opened, pulling her from her thoughts.

Zeus stood at the door looking at her warmly. "May I come in Kusanagi?"

She smiled and nodded. "Of c-course."

He strolled over and stood at the foot of her bed. "How are you feeling?"

She squirmed uncomfortably in her bed. "I-I feel better. I-it's just a little difficult to talk."

He hummed in understanding and she saw him tighten his hold on his staff. "Why didn't you inform us of your situation?"

She blinked and she felt the color drain from her face. "I-I d-didn't think a-about it. I w-was pre-occ-upied with m-my sit-uat-i-ion. I-I_I'mmmm sorry Z-Zeus-saannn."

He nodded in understanding and began to leave. "Kusanagi, I appreciate the promise that you made the gods make to you. I know that you hate being the one that needs helped, but I want them to help you through this. I think it will be good for them.

"They care a lot about you and I know that they will do anything to make you better. All I ask of you is to let them help."

"O-ok-ay."

Zeus walked out of the room and left Yui to her own devices once again.
