Sunday morning, Ichigo is covered in warm clothes and the cover of his bed, shivering and pain in the limbs. A little angry that his family keeps him home when he can be out hanging with Orihime and Chad or kill Hollows, or hanging with Orihime and Chad killing hollows. But judging by his condition right now he should stay in bed. For some reason he's laughing, he's not amused in any way so why is he laughing like he just smoked a shitload of weed?

Sunday lunchtime, about 12:30 or something, Ichigo is STILL in his bed. No cover, just the pillow, and he removed the heavy clothing. If he'd had the cover also he'd be sweating until he dropped dead. He lays a hand on his face and it gets instantly wet. His head and the rest of his body has a throbbing pain that comes in the same pace as his heart rate, so basically his body just became his heart. Sweat, heat, ragged hyperventilation and more sweat. He doesn't think that Hichigo is actually still draining him, but he starts to wonder...*

(*This is called "Sweating sickness", science can't explain this deadly sickness. Neither how it's transferred nor how it's caused. But the most frightening thing is that death occurs only in a matter of hours after the first symptoms. First stage: Violent shivers, headache, pain in the limbs and giddy laughter. Second stage: Delirium, rapid pulse, intense thirst and BUCKETS AND BUCKETS of sweat. My hypothesis is that you sweat out the body liquids, but of course, it's only me so what do I know?)

Ichigo faints and is being pulled into his inner world by Hichigo. He feels a cold breeze but that's not enough to cool him down from this massive heat. He hears his name being shouted out to him but it only comes out as whispers. He opens his eyes, is that Ukitake? (The only character I can think of right now with somewhat white clothes and bright hair X3) No, why'd he be here? He wonders where he is and opens his eyes slightly more. His name is being called again and he can make out Hichigo above him. That explains it, he's in his inner world and the white figure above of him is Hichigo... figures...

- ... chigo... Ichigo!... ICHIGO! WAKE THE F*CK UP!

- Uh... Why here?

- You never answered me the first times I called, so I figured I'd pull you in here and ask you; WHERE THE HELL THE HEAT CAME FROM!

I glance around from where I am and everything, anything and everything, all the buildings are on fire. Dancing, slashing and raging flames everywhere. When? When did this happen?! What made this happen?!

- DUCK!

Hichigo yells, grabs my shihakushô and pulls me down to the side(?) of the buildig avoiding parts of the building falling down on us (I don't actually know whether it's the side of the building or the ground just colored as a building and to be honest, I couldn't actually care less anymore! XD).

- Ichigo! You have to do exactly what I say as of now, ok?! Do you trust me?!

How could Ichigo trust him? Hichigo tried to kill him not too long ago! Ichigo twists the thought a little more before grabbing Hichigo's hand:

- I trust you, now, take me out of here, Hichigo. I command you to take me out of here!

Hichigo's usually big smile appears but becomes even wider this time (almost to the point of "Jeff the killer" from CREEPYPASTA wide).

- That's the spirit, king! Now, we need to find the cause of this!

- Stop calling me king!

Hichigo pulls Ichigo up and they run from one building to the next looking for something. Ichigo keep looking around but he can't see anything out of the ordinary?... Maybe this thing will just blow over later?... (Yeah Ichigo you f*cktard, WHEN YOU'RE DEAD! NOW GET A F*CKING MOVE ON!) No matter, he will just follow Hichigo, looks like he knows more than Ichigo himself knows right now. But they have to fix this thing quick; Ichigo's body is getting unbearably hot and even hotter by the second.

- Hichigo-!

Ichigo loses his footing and falls, coughing harshly. Hichigo stops, swears and looks around in a panic. He pulls his sword after glancing at the cieling (again, I don't know the laws of gravity in the inner world so f*ck it), sets of a Getsuga Tenshou at a black spot that he just noticed, destroys it and the flames almost instantly dissappears. And as the flames go out, so does Ichigo's fever, Ichigo manages to stand up. Looking at Hichigo, he almost has that irritated but somewhat troubled look in his face. He grabs Ichigo's arm and pulls his partner in hard and kisses him roughly:

- Pull that kind of shit on me again and I'll punish you, I dare you!

- I-... I'll remember that...

Ichigo is still in a slight chock, Hichigo grabs Ichigo's hand, bite's it and the teeth penetrates the skin easily. Ichigo flinches; he's sucking his energy again! Why- How can he think about this now?! Why IS he doing this anyways?!

- I sensed you'd fall sick yesterday, so I tried to prevent it, but it seems that I didn't take enough. I felt a disturbance in your aura, an infection in your spiritual energy. We were almost one and same person some time back, not anymore, but I can still feel you-

He says putting his hand on Ichigo's shihakushô, sliding it in through an opening. Ichigo jerks back and Hichigo still looks angrily at him.

- I will let this go, for now, but if you ever catch that kind of infection again, I will be ALL OVER YOU!

Hichigo roars the last words, the air pulsates around Hichigo and the ground shakes slightly. He walks up to Ichigo, pushes him hard and in a flash, as if pushed into a portal, Ichigo falls with a thud down in his bed again.

- ... Can somebody please tell me what the hell is going on and how I get out of this mess?...

I know, short, but as I did in chapter 3, 4 and 5, I'm dragging it out so that I don't tell everything over 1 chapter, that'll be flat out bad and boring. So just stay here a while longer for next chapter, I can't promise it'll be longer but I swear I'll do my best. Can't do more now, I worked overtime and the time here is 00:50. Imma go tobed, mission "Bed - Cover - Pillow" initiated. ^^
