"Wha-"

Jerking my head up, I noticed that I was inside a small room, not my own. It was really clean, and white, with curtains drawn aside to let some of the morning light in.

Turning around, I saw a curtain next to my bed, drawing it aside, I saw Jin-kun! And then, next to me was onii-chan! And Kazune-kun! What's going on? Where am I?

Taking a closer look at the beds, and the blankets, I wanted to punch myself for not realizing this.

"The hospital!"

Remembering what happened, I looked at my wrist, sure enough, the bracelet was gone!

I wanted to look around to find my bracelet, when I realized that Jin-kun was clutching it tightly in his hands. Sighing in relief, I happily held the hand in mine and fell asleep.

Snapping my eyes open, I realized Jin-kun let go of my hands and had given me the bracelet.

"So, you're awake," Jin-kun said.

I nodded and stood up slowly.

"Suzune and Kazune aren't up yet. We've been out for a week," he mumbled.

I looked at my phone, and sure enough. It's been a week.

"No! What about Karin?" I asked. to me.

"She's fine. Apparently the reason you collapsed was because the rock almost took out your entire life energy. For me, it was because the bead took a lot of energy, and then...you understand Kazune-kun and Suzune-kun's situation," Jin-kun explained carefully.

I sighed and nodded carefully, "I understand," mumbling to Jin-kun.

"But...when did we ever get into the hospital?" I asked.

Jin-kun pointed at the door. "Karin came in while you were asleep. I just woke up, and she said after collapsing for more than four days, she didn't know what to do. So the only thing she could think of was the hospital."

Nodding, I sat down on my bed.

"The doctors say that we can go home today, but they're staying a few extra days."

Looking at the two other beds, I didn't know what to think. I silently nodded to Jin-kun before walking back to my bed and collapsing onto it to sleep.


"Hey! Wake up! It's time for school!" Karin yelled.

It's been a day since I got back home. Jin said that Yui was extremely worried, but I'm sure she knows I'm fine, right?

Racing outside the door, Karin and I parted ways to head to our separate high schools.

"Bye Ushio!" I yelled

"Bye Karin!" I yelled.

I wondered when I dropped the honorifics for Karin and Kazune, however, I have not yet dropped them for Jin-kun yet. I just...don't feel like it. Micchi is just easier to call without the honorifics, and Himeka told me to drop the honorifics as soon as we met, she sure is friendly.

Yui...well, I guess in the future you call the idol who's your model by their name, so that might've been somewhat weird.

After running for a long time, I halted to a stop.

"That's weird...Jin-kun isn't here," I mumbled to myself.

"Boo!"

Jumping up, I screamed and saw Jin-kun laughing hard behind me.

"Hey! Scaring people isn't nice!" I yelled.

Jin-kun rolled his eyes and shrugged, "It wasn't even that loud..." he mumbled.

We talked about school all the way till we got to school, it's weird how we talk about these things. As soon as Jin-kun walked in, he put on his weird and odd hat, along with his sunglasses. I didn't have the need to disguise, but Jin-kun always had to do these things to avoid being swarmed by fans and some other people.

I coughed a bit and looked down on my sleeves.

I quickly covered it up as Jin-kun turned around. I smiled as if nothing had happened. He can't know that I'm coughing out blood! It was on my white shirt! And white shirts are not a good thing to have blood on because they're noticeable!

Yui rushed up to hug me, coughing a bit, and making sure there was no blood on Yui, I hugged her back and smiled. No, it isn't time to tell them yet. At least, I can't do this. I can't let them know what's going on, not yet!


"Would you excuse me for a moment?" I asked during lunch.

Jin-kun sighed while Yui nodded with pleasure.

I dashed to the restroom and closed the stall door.

I coughed for the longest time. I almost didn't have time to catch my breath. Blood filled my throat. No, I don't have tuberculosis. This has nothing to do with diseases. It's all heredity, and some other factors, plus...

Rushing out the door, I went to rejoin Jin-kun and Yui.

"Oh yes! And when you come to my concert, I was wondering if you could sing a song? Both of you?" Yui asked.

Jin-kun's eyes widened, "Opening act?" he asked.

"Nope. Part of the show!" she said happily.

Jin-kun smiled, "Sure."

Yui now turned to me.

"Pleeeasse?" she asked.

I sighed, "But I'm not even an idol! I'm not like you two!" I yelled, almost coughing.

Yui smiled, "Who cares. As long as you have a good song, and that you can sing well, you'll be good to go!"

Still uncertain, I sighed. But then Jin-kun glared at me. The glare told me everything he was thinking. Like killing me, trying to murder me, and other stuff which I would not like to endure.

"Fine. When's the concert again?" I asked.

"The day after tomorrow!" Yui said.

Scrambling up from my seat I gasped, "What?! But I don't have a piece ready!" I squealed before dashing out the cafeteria. Let's make this simple. Most songs I know are from the future. If I sing them, then they'll be mine, not the future's. So...I guess I have 48 hours to write a song!

Great. Just great.
