Thanks for the previous reviews every one!

I am glad you all liked the previous chapter and i hope you do with this one too... please tell me what do you think!

…Chapter begins …

After Godai Takuma had given Judai the list of the medicine he had to take, Smith, Rania and Jesse left Judai to rest because after what had happened he looked so tired and sleepy even though he still felt Itchy He couldn't do anything about it and he gave up from exhaustion.

Johan stood for awhile watching Judai.

"What? Am I so pathetic for you?" Judai finally asked after wondering about what Johan wanted from him at that stage.

"I was going to ask politely if you needed anything."

Judai yawned and collapsed on the bed. "Well… Can you just grab an extra blanket for me? I'm feeling a little bit cold."

Johan nodded and quickly went to the closet to grab a blanket. "Here you go."

"Thanks."

"Anything else?"

"Yes."

"What?"

"Don't enter this room again."

"…."

"Goodnight." Judai said after he had yawned again.

Johan remembered what the doctor had said about the disease's capability to transfer from one person to another. Judai must've told him that because he didn't want the disease to transfer to him. The teal-haired male sighed heavily. "I still don't believe that this is happening to you…"

"Mmmm… It's a punishment from God…." Judai said in sleepy voice.

"For what reason?" Johan scoffed.

"Dunno…. I'm a bad person…"

Johan rolled his eyes and huffed. "Yes yes, whatever."

"Johan-san…."

Johan looked at Judai who suddenly sat on the bed after he had almost slept. "Yes?"

Judai smiled a little. "I want you to promise me something."

"HUH? Why the hell should I?"

Judai showed a face that was thinking for awhile then said, "ummmm, Please? Can you just promise?"

Johan stared at Judai as if he was crazy. Of course he was! What could he possibly want from him?

"Fine. What is it?"

"Don't… come to this room unless it is necessary. Don't come until the 30 days are over."

Johan felt something burning in his chest. Not seeing Judai for more than 30 days… He would see him of course, but in occasions? When the hell will these occasions happen? Why Judai is very selfish like that he-

WHAT?

He was being actually upset over the matter? Johan found himself feeling something that was very awkward.

"….. Johan-san?"

Johan shook away those thoughts and answered, "Can't do that kid. It's my house. I'll go wherever I want whenever I like."

Judai's face was filled with disappointment. The boy noticed that there was no way he could convince Johan with it, and he would just lock the room's door.

Next day, Johan went to eat breakfast before going to school. The dining table had him, Smith, Rania and Jesse. No Judai. This was so weird by now. They all used to eat together and be so active in the morning and because of that, Smith was very sad and silent.

'Thank god… looks like I could use some advantages from Judai's sickness…'

The boy ate his food happily and went to his car to go to school. Again there was no Judai to ride with him which again was an advantage, now he wouldn't worry about the music player to play his favorite music. They always had fights about who turn on what music. Now he can rest his mind and enjoy the ride.

When he went to Judai's class to give the homeroom, again there was no Judai.

"Johan-sensei? Judai Aniki is not with you?"

"No Sho. Judai is not gonna come to school for awhile."

Sho seemed to be surprise and taken a bit. "W-why not?"

Edo, Manjoume, Asuka, Kenzan, Layfon, and Misawa came with Sho to listen to what Johan was saying. "Yesterday he suddenly felt so itchy and tired, we called the doctor and he told us that Judai have to be in home for maybe more than thirty days. I think he called the sickness 'Scabies'."

"Really? ! Ahh…. Aniki! I think he is lonely now…" Judai's friends looked at each other sadly. "What will he do about the classes?"

Layfon was thinking a little then said, "I have an idea! Why don't we go visit him today, then after that, each day, one of us go and keep him updated?"

"Why should I go? I'll pass thank you! What if this sickness is transferable?" Manjoume said disgusted.

Johan didn't know why, but he had the sudden urge to growl at Manjoume. "Yes it's transferable… Manjoume."

"Hey no problem! If we were careful, I think we will be just fine!" Sho argued with Manjoume.

"Ok guys. It's class. You can discuss that later." Johan said in a strict way.

Even in the Teachers room.

"Eeeeeeeh? Judai is sick?" The biology teacher, Jim, seemed surprised and sad at the same time.

When he went to give the biology class and didn't find Judai, he asked Johan because he knew that Judai lives with him, and the result is 'SICK Judai'.

"What did you say? Judai is sick?" That attracted the attention of the economics and Government teacher, Amon.

Johan now was circled with Fubuki, Amon, Fujiwara, O'brien, Jim and Ryo. Johan was starting to think that the whole school was centered around Judai. The boy didn't even last five months in it and he had already all the people worrying about his well-being. Johan was getting tired of repeating the same thing over and over.

"Yes, Juudai is sick. He has a transferable Disease called 'Scabies'. He can't come to school before thirty days are over."

"Well…. He'll miss a lot of math…"

"Certainly. Not to mention a lot of physics too…"

"A lot of biology…"

"A lot of economics…"

"A lot of music and Art!" Fubuki cried.

"Shut up! I know he'll miss a lot of English, but we can't help it!" Johan said irritated from their whining.

"Oh I know! Why don't we all go visit him today and after that, each day one of us go and keep him updated?"

…and was tired to hear the same thing over and over. Since when Judai had this popularity in school? Johan was surprised indeed.

"Hmm… But Johan said that it's transferable…" Ryo said.

"I think if we were careful enough we will be fine." Jim said encouraging the fellow teachers to go and visit Judai.

Johan was thinking…. Today he and his family are going to have a lot of guests coming.

'This is a disadvantage of Judai's sickness…. Damn it!'

Johan sat in his villa alerted. At 7 pm, a lot of people were coming. Johan didn't know why he hadn't scared them off not coming like he had done every time. He didn't see Judai at that day at all since the day before. Johan felt weird, but he shrugged the matter off. There were days he didn't see Judai 'till a late hour only to say goodnight or something. So this is not different.

"Johan? What are you doing here?" Smith was surprised to see Johan walking back and forth in the hall in front of the villa's entrance.

"A lot of people are coming…." Johan mumbled.

"Oh really? Who?"

"It's-"

Ring! Ring!

Smith looked to the door then to Johan again questioningly. "Um… Judai's friends… a visit?" The teal-haired male rubbed the end of his neck sheepishly.

"Oh! You mean they came to visit Juudai-kun? Why didn't you say that earlier? Move from the way!"

Smith ran to the door and opened to be greeted by…. A good number of people. He saw the teachers also, and didn't expect them to be in the category of 'Juudai-kun's friends.

"Waaaah! Judai!" Asuka's hands were on her cheeks, showing that the girl was shocked by Judai's case. The Brown-haired boy looked miserable. His right cheek had a big rash and almost every visible spot of his body was terribly red/pink color.

"Oh…. H-Hello…. Everyone… W-why?"

They looked at each other, teachers and students, and smiled widely to him. "Well, we wanted to see how the little angel is doing!" Fubuki said sweetly which made Johan kick his leg with apparently no good reason.

"Oww! Johan! Stop doing that to me every time I speak to Judai!"

Johan just glared and acted innocently as if he didn't do anything.

"Aniki! Does it hurt? When did that happen to you?"

Judai smiled. "Well yeah it hurts! I really don't know when it happened. All I what I know is…. Without even noticing, these things appeared!"

"Judai boy…. Karen came because she missed you today." Jim pointed his finger to the huge crocodile near Judai's bed.

Judai in the beginning was very scared from Karen, but with the days, he developed a kind of special relationship between him and the female crocodile. She was scary, but…. Friendly. Judai didn't see in his life a domestic Crocodile, but today he sees Karen.

"Hello Karen…. Manjoume didn't hurt you, did he?"

"SHUT up Judai! Remember that I came all the way because tenjoin-kun told me to! It's not like I want to be infected with your germs!"

"Hai Manjoume…"

Judai spent a good time with his friends and teachers. Almost all the time, Johan was silent, just observing everything. Smith was very happy that Judai wasn't alone in school. He always heard from Judai that he had a lot of friends, but seeing them that worried and concerned about him, made the man grateful to their treatment to Judai.

Students and teachers argued for sometime, about which group will keep Judai updated. Both groups wanted to do it, but they had to get to an agreement first.

And then Judai argued with both groups because he was afraid that the disease he has might be transferred to one of them. They didn't care.

Finally, they agreed that they will put a certain order and everyone will come on a certain day. So they will all get the chance to benefit Judai.

"Thank you everyone…. I really appreciate it…"

"Don't mention it Judai. Get well soon." Fujiwara finally said and then all of them said their goodbyes and went home.

Johan breathed and sighed. Finally the party was over.

Fifteen days passed and Judai went through different stages of the sickness. Scabies was so hurtful.

His friends came everyday to keep him updated with school, also if there were quizzes, he would take them in home as his teachers knew his condition.

What hurt Judai the most… he couldn't see Johan. He knew Johan didn't agree on the promise, and he was thankful that he didn't see him much, but he was longing to see him. He wanted to so badly. Especially when Johan began to go out a lot with Rachel the days Judai was sick at.

He loved Johan. He couldn't deny it. And he was hurt every time he knew that Johan was going out with another…. Woman. Johan and himself can't be together. He knew it. And he knew that Johan wouldn't ever see him as something else…. moreover, with his condition, he knew Johan deserved better than him, but why did he have this uncomfortable feeling in him? Judai shook his head and closed the lights to sleep…

Johan came back home. Rachel was such a pain and monkey. He didn't know why the hell she was glued to him that strongly like her life is depending on it!

He sighed and threw the keys on the table in the living room. He sat down on a sofa and dropped his head between his two arms tiredly.

His pet ran and found her way to his lap.

"How are you Ruby?"

She nuzzled to his cheek and licked it playfully. After that she slept on his lap.

Johan smiled and patted the squirrel's fur. He slowly stood up and carried the small squirrel with his arms lovingly.

The house was quiet, and maybe everyone was sleeping by now.

When going to his room, he felt something strong telling him to check on Judai. To just see the boy. He was getting tired of it. True that Judai's sickness had some advantages to him, but…. Judai's sickness seemed to be taking something away from Johan. The boy felt terribly empty.

He slowly opened the door. Judai was awake, but sleeping in bed. It was dark.

"Johan-san?"

Johan felt his heart excited when he heard the voice…

He switched the small light on the desk. "Hi…"

Judai slowly sat on the bed. Judai looked tired. The red rashes were still there, and they were worse than the first day."

"How do you feel?"

"Terrible." He answered honestly.

"Why are you still awake?"

"Dunno… Can't sleep."

Johan smiled and sat where Judai's desk is. "Hmm…. Are you hungry?"

"No… I want to sleep, but I can't."

Johan continued to pat Ruby's fur. "How about…. A little walk? Will that help?"

Judai shrugged. "Dunno…."

"Well, we won't know if we didn't try."

Judai nodded and went to get his jacket.

Judai stayed 5 meters away from Johan, as they walked inside the Andersen's garden. He remembered that Smith told him that he can come to it any time he wanted, but after he comes to it with Johan once. He couldn't stand the idea then, but now he feels happy to get the chance to be with Johan…. or at least be five meters away from him.

"Pony-chan, nothing will happen if you walked closer. Hell, nothing will happen as long as we don't touch each other."

Judai laughed nervously and said, "I really don't want you to suffer."

Johan rolled his eyes and sighed.

"Yeah yeah whatever."

They walked around and crossed the small stream in the garden until they reached a spacious clearing. The moon and the stars were clearly visible and Judai was fascinated by the sight.

"Woah…"

Johan smiled and resumed walking. They finally wanted to sit and relax for a while.

This time, Johan insisted that Judai sits near him…. Judai agreed to do that for two meters.

"You are such a paranoid."

"Sorry."

"Still not going to cut that hair of yours?"

"No way." It was an immediate answer.

Johan grunted and averted his gaze to the sky.

Silence fell over them. It was a pleasant silence. Judai wanted this to last for eternity. Yes they weren't talking, but at least he knew that Johan was with him, near him. He slowly looked to Johan's figure. He was looking at the sky, he had no sunglasses…. And he had ruby sleeping on his lap. Everything in Johan was very attractive. Judai was normally attracted to girls only, but ever since he had seen Johan, he felt his world goes upside down.

He wanted ruby to be replaced by him.

They had a special relationship that Judai wasn't able to identify yet.

"Stop staring Juudai."

Judai blushed and looked to the front. "I… I'm not staring!"

"Lier."

"…"

"Haha! See?"

"Che!"

Johan chuckled. "Do you feel like sleeping now?"

Judai blinked. True…. He felt very sleepy that he could sleep right there!

"Y-yeah…"

Johan smiled and stood up. "Ok then, let's go back."

Next day, Johan went to school, and Judai felt bad again.

"Juudai-kun!"

Judai looked to the door where Smith stood calling him.

"Yes?"

"Umm…. There is a stranger… he wants to meet you."

Judai's heart fell at this. He wanted to speak, and felt it hard to do so.

"He says… that he is one of your relatives…. Umm… Haou-kun."

Of course Smith was surprised to see the great resemblance between this stranger and Judai and he wanted to know everything, but didn't want to burden Judai with his questions about the boy, However, Jesse was very curious. The resemblance between the elder boy and Judai couldn't be ignored.

Judai was taken back… it was very bold from Haou to come to his place….

What did Haou want from him?
