Minato was tired.

No, that was a sore understatement to what he was feeling. He was absolutely exhausted and the weight of his body and sweating were only making his limbs scream louder to just give up. But he didn't he wouldn't, he couldn't. He knew this feeling, and what had happened before when it happened to him.

He was aware of the mixture of emotions that everyone gave him as he tried to make his way through the halls, but he didn't let those get to him. Maybe he should just skip school with his condition. It would a lot safer for that to happen.

He looked down to his hands, he saw black smoke pouring out of his palms. The substance would disappear though as fast as if would appear. Minato frowned at his predicament. He tried to move, but then his vision began to blur from reality and his body felt heavy and unresponsive. A sense of fear and confusion clutched inside Minato as his mouth failed to make any sound but a sickening gurgle. Then there was darkness and a sense of falling.

"Yo, Minato, you fee- OH SHIT, MINATO, ARE YOU OKAY?!"

Yang spent no hesitation as she rushed over to her friend's side. It may have been a while, but she could easily recognize a sick person when she saw one. Without even thinking, she lifted the boy up bridal style and rushed over to the nurse's office since they were right in front of the school gates.

"MISS VIRIDI, MIND IF I TAKE A BED!?"

The lady sitting inside the nurse's office jumped at the sheer volume Yang had released as the blonde had literally kicked the door open while running in. Turning around to scold the girl, she grew silent when she saw who was in Yang's arms. "What happened to Minato?" Viridi asked as she took large, quick steps over. The lady also noted the panic on Yang's face as she looked down at the unconscious boy. Feeling with gloved hands the boy's forehead, she swore under her breath. "His fever is high. Too high in fact. Set him down on the bed right there. I'm going to try to find some antibodies from my cabinet."

Something was certainly wrong with Minato. It was unknown where Minato lived, but there was no way the environment would be so unsanitary and non-sterile for the boy to have a fever this bad. The school was super clean as well, so this place was not an issue at all.

Once the blonde laid the boy down on a nearby bed, Yang practically seemed to pace around the room as the nurse rummaged through the cabinets. The blonde wanted to curse whatever had gotten Minato this sick. It was as if he were dying.

She soon began muttering to herself all sorts of ways on handling the sick that she once heard from her former friends. "Can't do chicken soup… There aren't any green onions around… Maybe use some fresh water from the Atlas Alps in the vending machines? Mistral herbal medicine could be used if there is any around. Grounding the bone armor of a Grimm is and feeding it to him out of the question. He definitely can't bathe in in sulfur rock fresh from a volcano…"

Needless to say Viridi, who hadn't once left the cabinets through the whole ordeal to find the proper medicine, was earning herself quite a headache. It was so dang hard to find some simple antibodies around. Not only that, but the list Yang kept muttering to herself was not helping even in the slightest.

"Yang, if you want to help, shut up so I can focus on finding this damn medicine." The nurse growled in annoyance as it practically commanded the blonde and had her immediately follow.

All was silent other than the irregular breathing of the sick male. "C-c-cold." Minato managed to groan out. Immediately, he was buried under a few blankets that Yang snatched from the other beds and threw them on top of him. Viridi groaned. For one of the better students of Signal Academy, the blonde did some questionable things at times.

"H…hot…" Minato's muffled voice was heard and just as quickly the blankets were torn off.

"Yang, there may be some bags of ice inside the freezer over there." Viridi gestured towards the fridge that was nearby. "Come on! I know that those damn antibodies are around here somewhere!"

Doing as she was told, Yang rushed over to the fridge and opened the door to see several bags of ice with some bottles of water. Grabbing one of the small sacks, she left the door open in a hurry and made her way back to Minato. Putting the bag of ice on top of his forehead, it took only a few seconds for cubes to be reduced to water.

His temperature was rising at an alarming rate to say the least. The room was almost becoming unbearably hot from just the mere heat radiating off the bedridden figure.

"Aha! Found them!" Viridi exclaimed, pulling out a small bottle full of little pills. Rushing over to Minato's side, she opened his mouth. "Now he just needs-"

A large, white gloved hand cut the nurse off by smacking her across the room.

Yang found herself meeting a same fate as she was sent careening towards the door. As her head banged against the wall, she groaned and hissed in pain as she looked to see what had hit her. Shaking her head to rid herself of the stinging sensation, she saw it.

Followed by white gloves came the head. The skull-like helm, white like bone. It glared through the hole of reality the hands had just torn and roared. It was a monstrous sound, deep and resonant, rich with bloodstained mirth. The body slipped through. Black and cloaked. Man-sized coffins arced over its back in a twisted parody of wings. Surrounded its shoulders like a ring of shields. A sword strapped to its waist. A simple blade never seemed so savage from a distance.

It howled, as if in agony. In its rage, it smashed a hole through the wall. It grabbed curtains and ripped them apart. Hands on a desk, it hurled the furniture across the room.

Yang watched in stupor and jaw dropped at the being. Silently, she could only watch it thrash in agony. At least she thought it was that. Watching the thing rampage around the room, she shakily got back up. But then she noticed something.

It never strayed too far from Minato. Despite the random, bestial movement, it also stayed close to the bedridden boy.

Minato's breathing was becoming loud and erratic, his body temperature had grown so much that the ice bags in the open fridge had melted. Tears were welling up and falling down flushed cheeks, sizzling as they ran down. It was an agonizing sight to see the boy thrashing around.

The beast released a howl meanwhile, almost seeing to destroy everything around in sync with Minato's actions.

That… Did that mean those two were connected? That was Minato's Semblance?

Well that was her conclusion, and she was not going to take no as an answer until it was confirmed. Seeing that connection between the two, Yang knew she had to at least do something or else that thing would destroy this entire room and maybe even help if it even arrived.

Looking over to the unconscious Viridi, Yang slowly made her way to the nurse and saw the bottle of pills that was still in the female's hands. Taking it, Yang took a small trip to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water.

She then turned to stare at the bed Minato still laid on and the beast was on all fours, panting like a dog and releasing guttered growls.

"Hey." Yang started to speak. It looked up, responsive to her voice. It had no pupils, but she could tell it was glaring at her. "I'm going to help him feel better. Mind moving out of the way?" She gestured over to Minato.

Once more, the being growled, shakily getting back up to its feet. As Yang moved closer, the construct moved its hand to punch her away. She was ready for the attack this time though as she raised her free hand to block it. She skidded back a bit, but kept her grip against the fist.

She frowned, this was going to be a bit more annoying than she thought. Watching the second hand go towards her, she ducked and looked over towards Minato. "Oi, Minato, can you hear me?" She called out, avoiding cleaving coffins as the monster had spun around. "I know you can! No way you can sleep through that kind of fever!"

Really. She was sweating from the temperature of the room. It felt like she was under the summer sun in a desert that was placed in the center of a volcano. Bit of an exaggeration, but the heat was intense. "Come on, man! It's me, Yang! Mind calling this thing off so I can help you?!"

It was only a short bit, but she was already having a difficult time avoiding the beast. The heat was making her sweat badly. She was in her school uniform as well, so the upper-half of her body was suffering and making her movement sluggish.

But when she said her name, the monster paused for a second. That was more than enough time for her to dash over to the blue-haired boy who was bedridden. But then she saw the thing turn at her violently. "Oh come on! Can't you at least get this thing off my butt! I'm trying to help you!"

The monster shook its head, almost as if the skull were throbbing and about it burst. It roared once more, thrashing around in place before charging straight towards Yang.

"…Yang…"

It stopped. It stopped in place as Minato gasped her name. It stared. The monster still looked in pain, but it stayed silent this time, choosing to stare at the blonde girl in front of it who was at Minato's side.

Yang froze, feeling its eyes boring into her. It was as if it were sizing her up. Her brown furrowed as her mouth took on a frown. Reaching down, she grabbed his hand. She winced at the burning sensation that was upon her skin, as if it were on fire. But she had her Aura to keep herself from actually being injured.

The monster looked down, seeing the proof of a bond she held with the boy. "Please," It looked up to see the blonde glaring at it. As if the being were the cause of Minato's suffering. "Let me help him. I promise… I'll help the pain go away."

It continued to growl, but the sound was lower and not as vicious. As if hesitant, a piece of it flaked off. But the bit was transparent. Finally, it released a defeated pant. It soon shattered. Like glass, the pieces gleamed as they fell to the ground to only disappear as soon as they touch the ground.

Whipping around while releasing her grip on his hand, Yang popped the bottle of antibodies open. "Better not spit these out!" She exclaimed as she grabbed a couple and shoved them down Minato's mouth. It was slightly easy due to his open mouth. Right after, she ripped the water bottle open and poured the transparent liquid down his mouth.

Forcing the jaw shut, she dropped the objects in her hands in favor of forcing Minato to swallow.

The reaction was instantaneous. Minato calmed down, his tear soaked eyes fluttered shut tired from the ordeal and the room temperature went down to more tolerable levels. Yang let out a breath or relief as she felt herself just drop to the ground.

Looking over, the doors opened and several teachers were in sight.

"Now you all show up." Yang sighed, running a hand through her hair.

Y13

"So you couldn't stay home because that would happen, huh."

Yang made this statement as it was after school and she was accompanying Minato back to the place where she lived. The blue-haired boy nodded his head.

Yang only nodded her head as well, in a bit of understanding. That summon could have gone on a rampage and hurt his family after all. "Hey," She punched the side of his arm playfully, still making him wince at the large amount of force that was put into it. "At least you're up and about. Other than Miss Viridi, no on else was hurt. Good news, right?"

"I guess." Minato nodded his head. "I'm just surprised that I've just been suspended rather than expelled for what I've done."

"It wasn't your fault really." Yang shrugged her shoulders. Still walking she turned and saw that Minato was no longer next to her. Turning around, she saw the boy staring at a door and went right back to him. "What's up?"

"We're at my home."

Her eyes took their time to look over to the building he was looking at. She frowned. "Minato… this the Vale orphanage." Looking back to the boy, she saw him nod his head as if he knew that would be her reaction. "…Oh." Yang stated after a moment of realization.

Minato had not parents.

No relative to take him in.

Yang took a bit of time to think. "Do you want to meet my little sister?" She asked, gaining Minato attention. "I'm sure that your day will get better just by interacting with her alone."

"…" Minato blinked but then nodded his head. "Sure." He answered.

"Okay then, onwards." Yang marched on, leading the way. "She's just waiting for me to pick her up before we go back to our house. You can even hang out with us until you have to go back." Minato didn't reply, but Yang just assumed that he was thinking.

The trip was short. Nothing special really happened. Arriving on the school grounds the was presumed to be for elementary students, the blonde looked around while the boy watched from a very small distance. "Hey, Ruby!" Yang suddenly began waving.

Minato looked over to where Yang was waving and saw a small girl waving back at her. The girl had blackish-red hair with piercing silver eyes and pale skin. She wore what seemed to be a gothic black and red outfit, black boots, and a red hooded cape.

As the girl ran up to them, Yang turned to face Minato for a second with a grin. "Want to know what kind of character she is?"

Minato raised an eyebrow at the sentence Yang had just spoken but stayed silent. He then looked over to the girl who was still running over. "…How is she related to you?" He asked.

"Different mother." Yang replied quickly and Minato accepted it. "Now watch this." She faced the incoming girl known as Ruby. "Hey Sis, I want you to meet my friend Minato. Minato, this is Ruby."

The smaller girl blinked before shifting slightly behind Yang in a small, shy fashion. "Uh… hi." Ruby greeted meekly as Minato stared at her. She then looked back to Yang. "Does dad know about him?

"Nope." Yang shook her head, draping a hand over her sister's shoulder and bending her knees. She then began to speak in a low voice that only the three of them could hear. "But he doesn't need to worry. It's just me, him, and his dingly dangly part."

"…" Minato didn't even want to react to that.

Ruby however had a confused look on her face. "His what?"

"The ding dong." Yang replied.

"What?" Ruby asked.

"Manly hood." Yang stated.

"What?" Ruby repeated.

"The sausage."

"What?"

"The tallywacker."

"What?"

"The royal specter."

"What?

"The giant hand."

"What?"

"The third leg."

"What?"

"The leviathan."

"What?"

"The pink snake."

"What?"

"The Johnny come-lately."

"Who?"

"Richard…"

"…"

"…Penis."

"Who's Richard Penis?" Ruby asked.

Yang turned back to Minato and hugged her sister while Ruby kept a confused expression. "Isn't she just so cute, adorable, and innocent?!" Yang exclaimed.

Minato gave her a flat stare. "I'm more concerned about your vocabulary."

I have no idea why I even added in that last bit. I'll be sure to delete it if you all suggest want me to. Such a moment does seem to be a bit strange to put in.

No flames please.
