I'm in a large depression after episode 111. This is my idea of what could happen after it. Don't expect and update tomorrow.

Word used: "Fatigued"

Yuma was fatigued, and Shark was the only one around to help him.

The boy was on his hands and knees on the ground, panting with a look of exhaustion on his face, and Shark had to wonder when the last time the boy actually slept was.

"Yuma?" Shark asked softly.

Yuma looked weakly up at Shark and the purple-haired boy almost flinched at the dead look in the red eyes. It was unnatural. This wasn't how Yuma was supposed to look. His eyes were supposed to be filled with life and energy and happiness, not the blank sorrow he was looking at.

"Shark…"

Yuma suddenly collapsed, and Shark barely managed to catch him before his head hit the side walk. He must have been more worn out than Shark knew.

He examined the other's face. The dark circles under his eyes, the soft rise and fall of his chest, the look of sadness on his face.

Shark hated it.

Yuma was like a completely different person. He's been that way since that last duel with Black Mist, when Astral…

Shark lifted him bridal style and carried him home, trying to keep his eyes forward (and failing miserably). Once he got there, he gave him to Akari and walked off, trying to keep calm.

Shark wanted the old hyper and annoying Yuma back, not this fatigued and depressed one. It wasn't fun, seeing Yuma this way. Everyone who knew Yuma knew something was wrong but no one has been able to cheer him up. It's been a week, already!

Shark sighed. He supposed that there wasn't really anyway to help Yuma in his current condition. If only there was a way, though. Shark would give anything to have the old Yuma back.

And that was a promise.

Theabridgedkuriboh: agreed!

Annika: thanks! and that part was fun to write. XD
