The first thing Kazemaru noticed when he regained consciousness was white walls.

The dorm's walls weren't this white. Then where was he?

Then something was at his face and air was being forced through his nose. An oxygen mask? Did something happen.

He looked around and saw Endou asleep on the chair beside him.

"Kazemaru? You're awake?" Gouenji asked as he approached the bed, his voice waking Endou up from his nap.

"Kazemaru!" Endou said as he stood up. "How are you feeling?"

"My body feels a bit heavy." Kazemaru mumbled through the oxygen mask. He got annoyed at how his voice sounded weak and tried to remove the mask.

"Don't!" Endou said as he pushed Kazemaru's hand away. "You have to keep it on."

"What happened, Endou? I can't remember what I did to land on the hospital." Kazemaru asked, still annoyed at how his voice sounded weak and raspy.

Both Endou and Gouenji looked at each other.

"What's the last thing you remember?" Gouenji asked.

Kazemaru frowned a bit, trying to think despite his foggy memories. "We talked about bringing Hiura out- wait! Hiura? Where is he?!"

"Calm down! He's at the bed beside yours." Gouenji said as he pulled the curtains that was covering the ice-blue haired boy from their view.

The said boy was curled up and was asleep. Just like Kazemaru, he had an oxygen mask.

"He woke up a few minutes ago. Groggy like you. We pulled the curtains to keep his side of the room a bit dim since he fell asleep." Gouenji explained

Kazemaru sighed in relief. He didn't know why but seeing Hiura safe made him relax all of a sudden. "I remember leaving the dorms and we were walking around. That's it."

"We got alarmed and worried when you called. All you said was my name and 'help'." Endou said as he sat down at the chair again. "When you weren't responding, we knew something bad happened. Asuto and Mansaku were both trying to call Hiura, but he wasn't answering as well. So Coach had to track you down using the Eleven Band's locators. When we got to the cafe, police and ambulances were already there. They said that the cafe was filled with sleeping gas. That was when we saw you two in the ambulance." Endou explained

Kazemaru stared at him for a moment, trying his best to remember what he just told him. However, despite his efforts in trying to remember, nothing was coming back to him.

"The doctors are keeping everyone from the cafe overnight at the hospital. Just for observation. The dose used in the sleeping gas was too high and your exposure was too long." Gouenji said. "Memory loss about what happened is common, they said. So don't beat yourself up in trying to remember."

Kazemaru just nodded, but something was bothering him. Something happened in the cafe that the others needed to know. He just couldn't remember. This gut feeling was so hard to ignore.

The door opened and Kidou went in the room. "The police said that all the CCTVs in the cafe were off. The cables were cut with something, possibly scissors. Hey, Kazemaru. How are you feeling?"

"Tired, but I'm fine." Kazemaru said softly

"Rest. Coach said we'll be given two days off from practice." Kidou said

"You look bothered with something," Tatsuya noticed.

Kazemaru frowned once again before looking at the ice-blue haired boy who was blissfully asleep, oblivious with his surroundings

"Something happened. Something I can't remember. It's bugging me. Something bad happened back there..." Kazemaru said with a tight frown. This made everyone in the room frown as well. "I have a feeling it concerns him,"

"Hiura? The only organization after us is Orion. Do you think the attack was done by them?" Endou asked

Kidou and Gouenji nodded a bit. "They can be the culprit." Kidou said softly "They chose the perfect timing when there's only two members from our team."

'Was it really Orion...?' Kazemaru thought as he slowly sat up. 'Why do I get the feeling it wasn't them this time?'

azemaru then heard Kidou sigh. "Our next match is in two days. If Kazemaru and Hiura aren't feeling better by then, then I guess we have to form a new line up."

Form...

Kazemaru stiffened as his eyes widened.

"Your form looks good. Such a slim waist and a beautiful body."

"Just complimenting your friend,"

"Don't underestimate me, Kazemaru Ichirouta. I can do things that you couldn't think of at your age."

He remembered that they were talking to someone, but he can't remember what he looked like. All Kazemaru could remember was he was acting inappropriately towards Hiura and Kazemaru stepped in to get his teammate out of the uncomfortable situation.

"Kazemaru?" Tatsuya said softly

"The man..." Kazemaru started to say "I don't remember his face or what he was doing there at the cafe... But he was acting inappropriately towards Hiura. He was commenting about Hiura's body and such," This made everyone's eyes widen "I stepped in to stop him and leave Hiura alone. He knew my name. He said not to underestimate him... That's when he activated the sleeping gas." Kazemaru then gripped the blanket tightly in frustration "WHY CAN'T I REMEMBER WHAT HE LOOKED LIKE?!"

"Kazemaru! Calm down!" Endou said as he held Kazemaru by the shoulders

"Are you sure by this, Kazemaru?" Gouenji asked

Kazemaru only nodded softly.

"I'll tell Coach and Sekiya-san about this." Kidou said with a tight frown. "But for now, let's keep this matter between the five of us. Let's not cause some panic to the team while we're still unsure on what the attacker wanted to do..."

Kazemaru, Tatsuya, Gouenji and Endou nodded

Kazemaru then looked at the sleeping ice-blue haired boy again.

He knew, that this incident, caused another thing for them to think and worry about.

What they didn't notice, was someone standing by the door, smirking darkly as he watched them before leaving.
