I do not own Majin Tentai Nougami Neuro

The next three days passed by very slowly or at least it felt that way for Neuro, Sasazuka and Godai. Without Yako, the three men stayed away from each other as much as possible. Neuro kept his mind busy by reading half the library, learning everything that Yako's grandmothers had written and whatever else there was. He kept Yako against him at all times except when Xia came to give her a bath. But even then he was within ear distance and kept his senses on what she was doing.

The first night Yako was asleep, he went up to master bedroom and discovered that it was better than her old bedroom. The master bedroom had amazing a view of the entire Island from every direction from balcony. There was still same old beak over bed, but it was made to be a nest. There was a hot spring and a small pool along with a shower. He wasn't sure what an old one looked like, but he was sure it didn't have a view of the Island towards the water. He didn't sleep that night or following two nights. If there was chance that she woke up and found that he was asleep, then she might leave his side despite the threat he made last time she did, she may have forgotten. If she wasn't by his side, then he would destroy half the house, trying to find her.

Their kiss calmed him, yet also made his instincts heighten to where he could not be without her, not until she awoke and they discussed about it. He would never let her go and not give up until she agreed to be his mate. Another day passed, Neuro began to worry when she still hadn't woken up. He went up to Sasazuka, who was relaxing under the tree.

"Why isn't she waking up?" he demanded.

Sasazuka gently placed hand on her head. "She has a high fever. I think it is a side effect of drug. She needs be cooled down." he said.

Neuro nodded, he would never be able to feel the difference in her temperature since he was always warm. He went back to their room, where Xia was waiting for him. She gestured to the springs where a white robe was already prepared for her. Neuro let Xia change Yako in his arms, making sure he did not look. He would not look at his louse's body until his louse allowed him to. After all, if he sees, then he would want to do lot more then touch and he wanted her be wake and responded to his actions.

After Yako was changed into the robe, he gently set her down on the bench, letting Xia put a pillow under her head while he undressed. Once done he carefully picked her up and walked into cold spring. Hissing in displeasure, he sat down, making sure to submerge her lower half while keeping her head above the water. After a while, Godai came up to him. "Sasazuka wanted me to check on her temperature." he said softly.

Neuro nodded and gently raised her upper half out of the water so he could reach her. Godai's hand got half way until Yako's eyes slowly opened. With wide eyes and not understanding what was going on, she screamed and repeatedly hit punched Godia until he fell into water. Yako turned, hiding her head into Neuro's shoulder, unknowingly he was naked.

Then, she finally noticed bare skin beneath her touch, more specifically Neuro's bare skin. Not bothering to ask any questions or even look in Godai's direction, she bolted towards the door, hiding behind the screen. She poked her head out a bit, looking at them both.

Neuro and Godai looked at each other in question. It wasn't uncommon for those in drug induce comas to forget everyone and everything. Godai slowly got out of the water. "Yako-chan, do you remember us?" he asked softly, trying not show the hurt in his voice.

Yako looked at him, confused. "Of course I do, Godai-san. That's not why I'm hiding." she said softly.

Neuro relaxed a bit and then turned to her. "Then why are you acting this way, louse." he demanded.

Yako tear up. "Because I don't know where I am, and I can remember what happened after I went school, it's a complete blur. I'm so confused." she said softy, tears going down her face, dropping to her knees, she looked up at Neuro.

Neuro dug his talons into his palms. The past six days were gone, almost like they never happened. Gently, he kneeled down to her and wrapped his arm around her, bringing her close to him. Yako froze bit, before leaning into him. She didn't know what happened between them, but if he was that upset, then it was either good or bad or perhaps both. When she felt his talon grip into her side, she decided on the third. She just had to find out what happened between her and Neuro. Maybe whatever happened before she fell asleep could lead them to becoming a couple. Silently hoping, she slowly wrapped her arms around his neck so he could pick her up. As he stood, she rested her head on his shoulder, feeling him relax slightly. He carried her to the bedroom, keeping her close until Godai left.

Yako didn't fight or try to get away when he lay down on the bed. As they lay there, she felt him gently play with her hair. Normally when he touched her hair, it was a rough matter and he tried to hurt her.

Yako decided right then that she was going try and figure out what exactly happened between them. Acting a bit bold, she nuzzled his neck softy, hearing him purr softly. It made Yako want to giggle, but she held it back, not wanting to ruin the moment. She gently played with the trends of his hair, watching them wrap around her figures.

Neuro purred lightly, trying to encourage her to continue her actions. If she got bolder, perhaps her memory of the past four days would come back and then they could move on, he'll get his mate one way or another. Yuko smiled, nuzzling his neck. Then her stomach grumbled, causing her to blush into his neck.

Neuro smirked and slowly pulled them part, even though every part of his body screamed at him not to. Yako looked up at him, confused. Before she could ask him anything, a soft tap came from the door.

Zako and Xia came in with food and a change of clothes. "Yako-sama, welcome back to the island. This is my mate Xia, she will tend to you in areas that I cannot as male." he said with a low voice, and then bowed to her.

Yako nodded confusedly, looking back and forth from Neuro and Zako. "My head hurts." she whispered softly.

Zako nod. "Of course it is, Yako-sama. You went through something very dramatic and it will take time for you remember what has happened. But for now, please eat this small meal and rest some more. It should help with your head and perhaps help you remember." he said.

Yako nodded. Xia came up to them and set the small tray on the table, and the change of clothes on bed. "Yako-sama, please follow me to the bathroom and I'll help you change, I do not want you get a cold from the wet robe." she said softy bowing to her.

Yako looked down, shocked, and nodded with a deep blush. Yako extended her hand to her, which Xia carefully took and lead her to the bathroom. Xia led her to the bench and while Xia slowly stripped her wet robe. Yako blushed, wanting to cover up her small teenage body. Xia looked up at her. "Yako-sama, you have beautiful body, and I expect nothing less than that from my mistress. I'm honored to serve you." she said softly.

Yako smiled softly to her. "Thank you, Xia-san," she said softly.

Xia nodded and began dressing her in a hakama. She then led her back to bedroom. Once she was close to the bed, Neuro grabbed her hand and softly pulled her to him. He settled her on his lap, watching Zako and Xia set up her meal.

Yako looked up at Neuro, still not completely sure what to do, but relaxed against him. This wasn't the worse thing he could do and at least he wasn't trying to hurt her, so in her book, this was good. Yako began eating a bowl of rice before moving on to the other dishes and tea.

Once she was finished, Zako and Xia took away the dishes and left room, bowing as they did. Neuro gently wrapped his arm around her and fell back on the bed, taking her with him and then turned on his side. Yako turned until she was facing his chest and gently nudged it, snuggled closer to him. Neuro let out a low purr and gently ran his figures through her hair. Feeling a bit brave, she wrapped an arm around his waist before he brought her closer to him. Yako rested her head against his chest, fully knowing of the chances of her getting up were very slim and the way he was acting ensured her that like something did happen that she should've remembered and he was trying to restate it or something.

She looked around and looked at the door where Zako and Xia left. "Were on Katsuragi Island. Aren't we, Neuro?" she asked softy.

"Yes." he responded.

"And you mostly like know I was going to tell you about it after school was out." she said softly.

"Yes, I do." he responded.

"How long have we been here?" she asked.

"Five nights and four days, and you also unlocked the house." he said.

Yako nodded against him in understanding. "Why did we have to come here so early, Neuro? I'm pretty sure that school isn't out yet." she said.

Neuro grip tightened around her. Yako did her best to look up into his eyes and see how distant they looked, like something big happened. She reached up, gently stroking his face lightly, but his hand immediately caught hers. "That computer geek stabbed you and tried to take you away from me," he said growling angry.

Yako wrapped her free hand around his neck, feeling his hair wrap around her fingers as she hoisted herself up to rest her on his shoulder, nuzzling his neck gently. Neuro froze, unsure of what to do now, as much he wanted to purr in delight and start the courting process, he couldn't do it with her lost memories of the last few days. Then it hit him and he wrapped his arms tightly around her, perhaps he could build off of this; after all, she wasn't rejecting any of his touches and is even seeking out his touch, his comfort. He wasn't going to waste this chance. Digging his nose into her neck, he attempted to calm himself.

Yako smiled into his neck, finally feeling him relax. She knew that despite the fact he caused her physical harm half time, he never let anyone else harm her, no matter how or whom he pisses off during a case or whatever. So, Higuchi actually harming her most likely pissed him off, and now he was taking Mr. Possessive to a whole new level. If this how he's going be, then she didn't mind one bit; after all, this was a lot better than the usual Neuro that liked hurting her or something.

Then her memory came back to her, turning her head away from his neck and earning a disapproving growl. Yako fought the urge to giggle, moving her arm to his back, gently rubbing it and calming him down. Neuro slowly calmed and loosened his grip around her, allowing her to have more room to move around. Slowly, she pushed herself away from him until she was staring into his eyes and him into hers.

"Neuro, there something I need to tell you." she said softly.

When Neuro made no reaction, she knew it was a sign to continue, "After you ate HAL, a day or so later, Higuchi came up to me while I was with Kanae. Although, I didn't notice what he was trying to or say, Kanae did and after that, he left. She told me that he was trying to flirt with me. After that, I thought about it and next time I saw him, I told him that I would never see him like that and he was just a friend." she explained.

Neuro narrowed his eyes and gripped her side. "Why didn't you mention this to me?" he demanded.

Yako gulped. "Well, he never came back, so I didn't feel that it was worth mentioning, besides according to Kanae, others tried the same thing before giving up. According to her, I'm painfully obvious; almost everything isn't in my small world." She paused, hearing him growl. Yako nuzzled into his chest lightly, calming him down. "But that isn't true, you know. I notice everything that is around me, I just choose not acknowledge some of them. I don't acknowledge regular guys because well, there simply boring among other things. My great grandmother always told me to never pay attention because none of them would ever make me happy. She was right, you know. I'm only happy when I'm with you, Neuro. So, don't let that affect you after you once told me that I belonged to you from moment you saw me." she said looking into him, smiling.

Eyes widened before softening his gaze, smiling down at her and he leaned to her, and…
