I redid this chapt. I was driving me crazy with how horrible it was. It made me wonder how I got any reviews.... Even though this fic is finished I had to change it. I know it's better than it was (not to mention longer) but I'm not sure how much better.

I know it's a horrible title but I couldn't think of anything else. This is also the first fic that I have ever writen so plz be forgiving if it's bad. I hope that you can enjoy it though.

Disclaimer: I don't own Samurai Troopers. Too bad though. ;;

The characters are prob'ly OOC and there will be shounen-ai.. Seiji/Touma in later chapts. Well, on with the fic now.

Nightmares and Sickness

By: NightShadow

Chapter One - Revised

Nightmares

He was running as fast as he could, but no matter how fast it was the blackness that followed was still right behind him. Then everything just seemed to stop, including the blackness, when he came upon a scene that horrified him; one that he never wished to see.

Before him were his comrades - his friends, covered in blood; not moving. He couldn't believe it so he went in closer, hoping that it was some sort of sick joke. As he got closer he noticed that one of them was still slightly moving.

"Touma!" He cried out and started running towards the archer. He was about half-way when out of no where someone dropped from the sky. The creature unsheathed their sword and brought it above Touma's head.

"Touma!" He screamed once more, louder than the last time. He ran faster towards him. He had to save him. There was no way he could let him die, however, the blue-haired archer was too far to get to him in time.

He was almost there when the creature swung the weapon out forcefully and.....

"No! Touma!" He screamed loudly and shot up in his bed when he woke. He stared wide-eyed ahead of him at nothing, just sitting there; shivering violently and drenched in sweat.

Touma nearly fell out of his bed at the scream. He quickly realized who it came from and looked over to find the blonde sitting up in his bed. "Seiji! What's wrong?!" The archer asked concerned. "I'm right here."

At the sound of Touma's voice Seiji snappped out of his thought and looked across the room. "Touma." He whispered disbelievingly.

Seiji had to see if his eyes were playing tricks on him or not so he stood up and tried to get to him. However, his tired body couldn't support him and he collapsed.

Touma watched Seiji stare at him as if he'd never seen him before and then stand up. He could tell by the look in Seiji's eyes that his strength wasn't at the fullest and that he was going to fall before he got anywhere. He jumped out of his bed and caught Seiji before he could hit the ground.

Seiji looked up at him and Touma noticed that it looked like something was wrong. He seems so... weak. He thoght while still holding the blonde.

"What's wrong, Seiji?" It seemed like the swordsman wasn't really coherent since he just stared with a far off look on his face. "Seiji." He said louder than before.

When the blonde still didn't respond he slightly shook him and calle dhis name again. Finally, he got through to him. His eyes looked focused, unlike before. "What happened?" Touma tried again, hoping to get a response this time.

"Anou... nothing. I... I just... lost my footing." Seiji tried to make an excuse that wouldn't worry Touma, failing misserably.

The archer sighed. Out of all the lies he could have used, he used that one. Date Seiji, doesn't just 'lose his footing.' He looked into Seiji's violet orbs and saw exhaustion and what he thought to be some pain. From what, he didn't know but would find out. "Seiji, you shoudl very well know that I'm not going to believe a lie like that." The blonde just responded with a cold stare. He didn't even know what was wrong himself so how would he be able to tell Touma?

"Can you please let go of me so I can go to the bathroom?" He used an excuse, one that was actually possible.

Touma had forgotten that he was still holding onto Seiji, from when he fell. He blushed slightly and quickly let go of him.

"Thank you." Seiji said, rather coldly, not like the usual Seiji at all. He never showed this side to Touma.. well, when they first met he had, but not since then.

The blonde got up and walked a bit unsteadily to the bathroom. He closed the door behind him and sank to the floor. He put his head into his hands, a headache getting worse.

Seiji sighed heavily, trying to get himself under control and decided that he would have to get up. He coudln't stay in there too long, for it would worry Touma more than he already was.

Using the wall behind him, he slowly stood up and went over to the sink. He looked at his reflection in the mirror above it and couldn't help but notice how tired he looked, not to mention felt that he felt it. What's wrong with me? He thought having no idea. Why does it seem like I can barely keep my eyes open?

The blonde turned on the faucet and ran his hands under the water; then splashed in onto his face. I have to get myself together. I cannot worry the others. I'm already worring Touma as it is.

The swordsman took a deep breath and turned the faucet off. After drying off his face and hands he opened the door and went out.

Once out he noticed that Touma had, surprisingly, gone back to sleep. He thought that he would have stayed up, waiting for him to get out of the bathroom, and ask him some questions. He'll probably ask them all tomorrow. He thought, not looking forward to it in the least.

He shrugged it off and wnet to his own bed to get his needed rest. Unfortunately, he fell into another fitful dream. It didn't seem as though he'd be getting any rest.

Black was surrounding him again but it didn't seem to be chasing him this time. Instead of him seeing all his friends, only Touma. He was just sitting on the ground; looking up at the sky, which was a blood-red.

"Touma, what's going on?" Seiji questioned, hoping to find out what his friend was doing. However, Touma just continued to sit there looking at the sky.

The blonde started to go towards Touma and called out his name again. To his relief the archer actually looked at him. Seiji was taken aback by the look on Touma's face, it was one of pure agony. It tore at his heart, Touma rarely showed pain, unless it was too great to contain. He didn't want to think about what could have happened, but he had to kow so he could help him.

"Touma, what's wrong? What happened?" The blonde tried again.

Seiji quickened his pace, wanting to reach his friend to help him. He could tell that he needed it. However, the more he walked towards him the farther Touma would get. He didn't understand. Who was making Touma leave? Or was it Touma himself?

"Touma! Wait!" He started to run to the area where Touma was at, hoping to be able to find him. When he thought he had reached the point, Touma was no where in sight.

"Why did you leave me?" He stood there staring ahead of his where Touma's retreating form had been.

Finally, he woke ukp in a cold sweat. "Touma." He whispered to himself, thinking of his dream or more like nightmare to him.

The blonde looked over to Touma's bed and was relieved to find him still sleeping. "Okay, Date Seiji, just calm down." He told himself quietly so as not to disturb his, thankfully, still sleeping friend. He took a deep breath and decided a shower would help relax him. It was 8AM so shin would probably be up and making breakfast for everyone. For some reason he didn't feel like eating.

The blonde pushed these thoughts aside and gathered his clothes for the shower.

Touma opened his eyes when he heard Seiji close the door to the bathroom. He rarely talks to himself like that. I wonder what's going on. He thought. The archer decided he'd worry about it later.

Touma closed his eyes again, thinking it to be too early to be awake and fell back asleep.

Well, I hope that was a lot better than before. I don't even know how many people are actually going to read this since this has been completed for almost a month now. I don't have a chapt written for any of my other fics yet.. still workin' on it. However, this was bothering me way too much to just leave it so.. yeah.

Plz Review!!
