Extra: Since I took so long to update, here is another chapter with a few hours of the last one~ See how fast I can pump these out when I don't have to come up with a lemon for each one? (proud-of-herself)
Sick
"Oi, Jinga, you gonna let me get on the computer anytime soon?" Gingka asked from behind their large desk chair.
"Hn." Gingka huffed and looked over the red spikes at the monitor.
"Hey, you're writing to Sarah?"
"Yeah, I'm thinking of going over tomorrow." Gingka furrowed his brow, looking worriedly at the back of his twin's head.
"Listen, Jinga, I know you feel bad about what happened bu-"
"Could ya just go do something by yourself for a minute? Please?" Gingka sighed and walked out of their room, picking up Oathkeeper as he went through the hall.
"I know, Oathkeeper. He's being a meanie." The white cat purred contentedly as the redhead scratched under his chin. "What do ya wanna watch?" He held the tiny cat in front of their DVD case, looking over the titles. He chuckled when the cat put a paw out and hit one of the cases. "Lesse…Aristocats, huh? You just like looking a Marie." He smiled and walked out to the family room with his cat, ignoring the sound of the bedroom door slamming the second time that night.
"Fucking idiot needs to get a life…" Jinga muttered, returning his attention to the screen. He jumped in surprise when his IM popped up, blinking orange on the toolbar at the bottom of the screen. "New message from…shit." He leaned back in the chair, debating whether or not to accept the message. "Shit, my status says 'Online', if I don't reply, she'll think I'm being an ass." The redhead sighed and opened the window.
OrgMemberXIV: Hey Jinga, you're online? I thought you'd be in bed by now seeing as you have school tomorrow. Well, I do too, but I'm used to staying up late, lol ^^ So what are ya up to?
Jinga sighed, beginning to type his reply.
KEY of DESTINY: Yeah, I was just checking some manga updates before heading to bed. I had a nap today, so I couldn't sleep. I got your message on our answering machine, I'm glad your plane made it in safely. You have school tomorrow? I thought you might take time off since you just got back. What school are you going to?
Jinga leaned back in his chair again, picking up his Coke bottle and taking a swig and setting down once a reply popped up.
OrgMemberXIV: Yeah, the ride was a bit bumpy, but I took some pills and slept most of the flight, lol I know I could've taken off, but I really miss you guys! I also have to keep up in my studies if I want to be a Scientist. Kumasuke would be proud~ XD Nah, I have no idea what I want to be. I'll be going to XLC High with Sarah and Madoka, they said that you and Gingka go there too, so I guess we'll bump into each other, huh?
Jinga winced, sighing for the ump-teenth time that night and taking another sip of Coke.
KEY of DESTINY: lol Actually, Kumasuke is the…uh…'nurse' at school. Ryuga constantly has to tell him to only give students proper medication lol I guess we'll see each other tomorrow, then, yeah, can't wait.
The reply took a couple minutes this time, which Jinga used to finish off his beverage and toss the bottle into the wastebasket by the desk.
OrgMemberXIV: You know, Jinga, I was really afraid that you wouldn't talk to me after…you know, everything that happened between You, Reiji, and I two years ago…I'm really glad you haven't changed. :)
Jinga felt his stomach churn and he had to fight the urge to vomit.
KEY of DESTINY: Yeah, me too. I gotta go, I need to get some sleep. Goodnight, Wanda.
OrgMemberXIV: Goodnight Jinga.

Jinga closed the window, making sure his status was 'Offline', and walked out to find his twin dancing to Everybody Wants to be a Cat on the TV holding Oathkeeper.
"Oh! Hey Jinga, done being emo yet?" The redhead asked, setting his cat down and turning off the TV.
"I'm not going to school tomorrow, I think I injested something form the ocean water Sunday at the beach." The redhead replied, rubbing stomach and sitting on the love-seat. Gingka narrowed his eyes at him, placing his hands on his hips.
"You're not fooling me, Jinga. You don't want to go to school, why?"
"Seriously, Gingka, I don't feel well." He really didn't. He felt like he was going to cough up his insides any second now. He leaned forward and held his head in his hands. Great, now I have a headache…
"I'm gonna get a thermometer. If you don't have a fever, you're going to school-even if I have to call Reiji and have him drag you there." Gingka walked into the kitchen, going through their emergency cabinet and pulling out one of the oral thermometers. "Alright, open up." The redhead obeyed, wincing at the unpleasant taste of plastic in his mouth.
"So, what's it say?" Jinga asked after a few minutes. He laid down on the love seat, his feet dangling over the arm rest.
"Damn, you weren't kidding…you have a really high fever!" Gingka showed his brother the thermometer and the redhead's eyes widened.
"Shit…I knew I felt horrible, but seriously?" Jinga eyed the blinking 105.8 before him, groaning and grabbing a pillow to cover his face.
"You want me to stay home with you?" Gingka asked, setting the thermometer on the coffee table.
"No, go to school, say hi to Wanda for me or somethin'." Came a muffled reply from under the light-blue pillow. Gingka gave his hidden-from-sight brother a worried look before patting his leg and wishing him goodnight.
Shit…I know how Jinga feels about the whole Wanda thing, but I had no idea it was this bad… Gingka sat down at the computer and logged into his account. "Who the Hell's messaging me at this hour?" He opened the window and cracked a small smile. "New message from HopelessNobody", huh?
He opened the window and smiled even wider at the message.
HopelessNobody: Hi Gingka, I wanted to give you a heads-up about Wanda being back here. She seems rather worried about Jinga and I know enough to assume he shouldn't see her for a while. How is he? I saw her sending a message to his address, so please let me know how he handled it. How are you, by the way?
She really is a smart one…
KeybladePegasus: Jinga got the message, and I feel bad saying this, but he's sick. Literally. He suddenly got a fever and says he feels terrible. I'm sorry, Naminé. I'm doing alright. Did I tell you about our trip to the beach Sunday? It was nice, Kyoya and I bumped into Jinga and Reiji. It took them an hour to get out of the changing room lol.
Gingka sat at the computer waiting for a reply, flipping though his Economics text book and jumping when the window popped up with a 'ding'.
HopelessNobody: I'm sorry to hear that about Jinga…tell him I said get well, okay? Actually, Kyoya called me yesterday and said you two went to the beach. I wonder what Reiji and Jinga were up to in that room…lol Well, I have to go, Madoka is asking to use the computer to edit her report. I'll see you tomorrow, okay?
KeybladePegasus: Yeah, see you!

Gingka stretched his arms above his head and rid himself of his shirt, climbing the ladder to the top bunk of the bed after shutting off the computer and turning off the light. He sprawled out under the covers and thought about two years ago with Wanda and his twin. She really shouldn't have come back so soon…That 'Leader' of Jinga's isn't going to like this one bit… He turned over in his bed and closed his eyes, slowly drifting off to sleep.
"Alright, I have medicine-pops in the freezer, pain meds on the counter, pill cutter by the pain meds, the cats are fed, litter boxes clean, and I'll pick up your schoolwork from your teachers." Gingka listed off while he zipped up his bag. "Are you sure you do not want me to stay home with you?" He asked, turning his golden-brown eyes to his twin's matching ones.
"I'm fine, Gingka. I'm probably going to just take some pills and take a nap, no biggie." Jinga said from the couch under a pile of blankets. Oblivion was currently curled up on his stomach, his head tucked under his paws as he let his owner pet him.
"Alright. Okay, I'm leaving. I'll see you in a few hours!"
"Bye!" Jinga called, waiting for the front door to shut. He listened closely as he heard it lock, then he settled further under the blankets and turned on the TV, being greeted with a SAW VI commercial. "Damn I can't wait for that to come out…"
Three hours of boring daytime TV later, Jinga got up and downed two strong pain meds for his headache and decided to take a hot bath. "These things never kick in within an hour anyway, so no danger if trying to relax a little, right?" The redhead walked to the other end of the house, poking his head in Damian's old room and pondering whether or not he wanted a shower instead. Sure, he could use his and Gingka's shower/tub, but Damian's in his old room was a lot bigger. He decided against it, seeing as he felt so weak from being ill, and he walked into his shared bathroom and turned on the hot water, watching it fill the tub and send steam into the room.
"Ah~ Much better." Jinga let his head rest against the white-and-black checkered tile behind him, feeling his muscles begin to turn to null under the hot water around him. He felt himself become rather sleeping and he held his head up, making sure he wouldn't slip down and fall under the water's surface. He remembered the non-slip mat currently under his ass in the tub and he relaxed, closing his eyes and falling asleep within seconds.
"Jinga! Jinga!" The redhead spluttered to life as he felt himself being violently shaken by strong arms. "Damnit, what were you thinking?!" He blinked and focused his heavy-lidded eyes on Reiji, the red-head looking at him sternly.
"Reiji…wha-?"
"I hear from your brother you're sick, and I come here to this?! You could've drowned!" Reiji picked the redhead up in his arms, soaking his black coat, and wrapped him in the zebra-print towel, rubbing his arms to warm him. Jinga then noticed that he was freezing.
"H-How long was I out?" He asked, looking up at his lover.
"It's about two, and based off the water, I'd say a couple of hours." He started rubbing Jinga's arms under the towel more slowly. "Damnit Jinga…don't you ever do that to me again…" He embraced his smaller redhead, nuzzling into his wet hair and sighing. The two teens stood in the bathroom, the younger shaking as he was still cold, but quickly warming up under Reiji's touch. They both jumped when the doorbell rang, Reiji lifting his head and furrowing his brow.
"W-Who could that b-be?" Jinga asked no one in particular as he clung the towel closer to himself. Reiji was about to go and check when they heard the door open and close, then footsteps approaching the bathroom. Jinga became frozen-not from cold, but from shock. Wanda stopped walking once she saw the teens in the bathroom, Jinga dripping wet, and Reiji protectively holding Jinga beside him.
"What's going on…?" She asked, looking from Jinga to Reiji and back again.
"Jinga is sick." Reiji stated emotionlessly. "Apparently he passed out in the tub and he's lucky I got here in time to get him out." The red-head moved his lover behind him. "What are you doing here?"
"I…I heard he was sick and I wanted to see how he was doing, so I-"
"Does Gingka know you're here?" Reiji couldn't stand seeing her standing there, looking innocently at him and Jinga like she hadn't ever done anything to them.
"No, I told Sarah to let him know-"
"Then I think you should leave." Reiji said sternly, practically threatening her life with the way he said it.
"Reiji…" Jinga wanted to say something, but he felt his lover stiffen. He looked up and almost became scared as he saw the look in his lover's eyes. There was hatred in them, more hatred than when he glared at Sophie for hitting on him.
"Get out…Jinga doesn't need to see you right now…"
"But Reiji-"
"Get out!" Wanda looked hurt and tears began to form in her eyes as she shook her head and ran down the hall, slamming the front door behind her.
"Reiji…you really didn't need-oh shit…" Jinga tore himself from Reiji's grip as he bent over the toilet, the towel falling behind him onto the black carpet as he paid homage to Bacchus at the porcelain altar. Reiji immediately leaned over his boyfriend and slid his hair back, keeping his bangs out of his face and grimacing at the horrid sounds of the redhead's purge.
"Shit Jinga…how much more you gonna puke up?" The redhead had been leaning on the toilet's edge for almost an hour, puking nothing but bloody saliva every few minutes.
"I don't know…" His voice was hoarse and he looked pale as a ghost.
"I think we should get him to a hospital…" Gingka said from the doorway. He had come home early from school when Reiji had called Ryuga and told him about Wanda. Kyoya was there as well, doing Jinga's schoolwork for him in the spare room.
"No…no hospitalghs!" Jinga began another purge, causing his twin to wince at the vile noise being produced. Reiji turned his head as he heard the front door open and close, rushing footsteps stopping outside the door.
"We heard Jinga was sick! What's up?" Chao-Xin asked, Da Xiang beside him with concern showing on his face.
"Wanda's back…" Chao-Xin looked at him, understanding spreading across his features. Jinga leaned his forehead on the toilet edge, panting and begging the Gods to end this constant vomiting. He reached out with a shaky hand and flushed the blood-and-spit down the drain, grateful of Reiji's hand rubbing his back.
"I thought she was in Japan?" Da Xiang looked at Gingka questioningly.
"She was…apparently she's back now. And apparently…" he looked sympathetically at his twin, "she came here today to see Jinga."
"I'm sorry but,", they turned to see Kyoya standing in the doorway, which was now full, confused, "but what's up with Wanda and Jinga?"
"How do you not know?!" Chao-Xin asked incredulously.
"I was being inducted to the club, I had a blind fold on the entire time…" Kyoya stated bluntly. "I had a Hell of a time finding my way around, let alone knowing what went on in the place."
"Jinga, you okay?" Reiji asked his lover, silently asking him if it was okay to tell Kyoya or not.
"Yeah," Jinga turned to look at him with nothing in his eyes but coldness, "I'm fine."
CLIFF-HANGERS FTW!
Reiji:...WTF?
Jinga: I don't feel so good...
Kyoya: Seriously, I couldn't see a damn thing!
Da Xiang: Woo...I am finally part of the storyline...(walks off)
Chao-Xin: Poor Jinga-kins. :(
R&R~! I'll put up another chapter later today-if I can get some sleep. Oh yeah, the times on the IMs, are really what times it was when I typed them. XD
