After bringing Kagome back downstairs, it was made obvious to everyone that Eiji had a way with the little girl as she was bouncing happily over to Keigo for a hug. No one spoke, as if waiting for the girl to vacate before drawing back punches. Oishi looked more than just a little bit put off at having his Doubles partner and best friend siding with Shuusuke over him. He could never understand why the two of them were such good friends in comparison to how much time he and Eiji spent together practicing and playing doubles. You would think that he would be the closest person to Eiji in the team.

Mukahi caught Kagome when she ran in for a hug after getting one from Keigo. He held her above him and laughed as she held her hands spread out much like a bird or plane before dropping her and catching her in a hug. "Sleep tight, Kagome-Chan~!"

"Sleep, sleep!" She giggled.

Eiji watched carefully as Mukahi placed the girl down and Kagome moved to get a hug from Oishi. He knew Oishi was the mother hen of their team, but he was acting peculiar with Kagome added to their group. Eiji was almost ready to say that his doubles partner might be jealous of the three year old. Watching the shocked look cross his tennis partners face as Kagome held her arms out to be hugged by him, Eiji paid close attention to the emotions crossing his face. He saw a couple, surprise, curiosity, wonderment...shame. Yeah, he could believe that Oishi was jealous of her, but with hope, the feeling would be one to quickly diminish given some time.

Tezuka was a different story all together; when Kagome was done getting a hug from Oishi, and standing in front of Tezuka. He refused to show any feelings or hug her. A feint blush was already across his cheeks as she pouted at being ignored by the much taller boy.

"Hug! Hug~!" She whined, waving her hands in the air, as if that would make him pick her up. It didn't. Finally, she wrapped her arms around his legs and he spared her a small glance before looking away and placing a gentle hand on her head. She laughed excitedly before running to Shuusuke for a hug. "Sleep too?"

"Yeah, let's go to sleep. We will see you all in the morning." Shuusuke picked Kagome up and left with Eiji following behind him, arms crossed behind his head as he walked.

"...surely they don't share a bed..."

The group gave Oishi a look when Mukahi laughed a little. "Yeah, Eiji and Shuusuke both sleep together, Kagome sleeps with them. She feels most comfortable with Eiji...and she likes Shuusuke because he's something like...hm, I guess he's...motherly?" Mukahi shrugged.

"...yes, but..." Oishi shook his head and sighed, "I should head back home, I'll see you guys later."

"Hn," Tezuka inclined his head a bit and the remaining three watched Oishi leave the manor.

"I am off to bed too." Mukahi said as he yawned.

Keigo nodded, "I suppose we should all head to sleep then, tomorrow will be a busy day. We are to pack and ready ourselves for the Camp. I'm looking forward to this Saturday."

Nothing was added as everyone went to their own room.

Eiji kissed Kagome on her cheek and smiled at the little girl with a keen look. He really was starting to love the little girl, she was his baby sister now. A pair of warm arms wrapped around his shoulders and he leaned back into that warmth. "Fujiko...what happened today?"

"The other day, my sister told me we would lose her again, but that she'd be in safe, yet dangerous hands. I probably should have guessed that it would be Kirihara-San...he's dangerous, but I doubt that he'd ever hurt a child..."

Eiji frowned; he hadn't really been all that civil to the younger boy. "You think so?"

"I'd hope so." Shuusuke placed a gentle kiss to Eiji's neck, breathing a soft sigh of relief as he tightened his hold on his lover. Pushing him down on the bed to lie down next to him, he felt the day falling around him. He had been scared when Kagome had just disappeared, and having tell Eiji...He would never let the little girl get hurt, because it would indirectly hurt the boy he held in his arms.

"Shuusuke..." Eiji's voice was soft as he turned in his boyfriends arms, his baby blue eyes met with sharp blue. "It isn't your fault...everything that happened, Kagome-Chan is really good at disappearing on people. She did the same with Ochibi...don't let this tear you down."

Shuusuke kissed Eiji sweetly and smiled, "I won't let this tear me down, Eijiko...but I won't let it happen again. I'm going to talk with Kagome tomorrow. Thank god tomorrow is the last day of school before Saturday."

Cuddling in together, neither noticed a violet purple fog seeping from between Kagome's lightly parted lips. There was barely any that had come from the child, but it had been enough to set the child into a coughing fit for a couple moments before her nightmares of blood spilt battlefields and demonic beings plagued her once more. This time, however, there was no beautiful demoness to keep her company or impart her wisdom on. Kagome was alone, and left with the fear of crimson eyes bearing down her from a distance.
