On other parts of the island the night had unfolded much more quietly, oblivious to the events taking place in the rest of the island the two members of Awakusu-kai were trying to get some sleep, not sure when the next time they could would happen.

Not wanting to be vulnerable from attacks from the outside they stood guard, each one of them taking half of the night.

Akabayashi volunteered to take the first turn, Shiki gladly complied. The red head sat there, staring at the trees, his eyes slowly adapting to the pale moonlight and his cane resting on his laps, ready to be used if need be.

He always have been a fighter, he knew he would be able to know if someone was near, he knew he would be able to identify any noise which wouldn't belong to the forest.

That's the reason why Shiki could rest his back to the other's, that's why he could peacefully fall asleep in this crazy island.

Once he was sure his companion was unconscious he slowly put his vest on Shiki's shoulders, hoping he wouldn't suffer too much from the cold of the night.

When a faint sunlight starting to glow, announcing the morning, Akabayashi thought it was about time to wake the dark haired man up. Ready to be yelled at for doing so that late he waited until the man regained enough consciousness.

"Akabayashi, it's dawn already", he said in a reproachful tone

"I know that full well"

"Why?"

"Because I don't need as much sleep as you do?"

"You're lying" he stated as he handed him his vest back, before continuing "Now sleep"

"What?"

"I said, you sleep, now"

The red head smiled at Shiki, "Sure, it's asked so nicely, after all"

Having said that he laid down and fell asleep as soon as he had closed his eyes.

The other one sighed and focused on observing their surroundings now that the daylights were coming back, trying to find the path they will take later on in the day.

After a few hours of sleep Akabayashi woke up, surprised to find Shiki's vest laying on his body.

For a moment he looked at his friend before he turned back, offering him a cigarette.

"Had a good sleep Akabayashi?"

"Thanks to you I did Shiki-san, I'm sure you had thought about it plently, but now, where do we go?"

Shiki pointed their left side and said "In this direction"

The red head smiled, stood up and said "Shall we go then?"
