Author Note: Read the author note I posted before this chapter. It explains some things, K? But for those of you who don't want to bother; here's the wrap up: I had a stupid trojan and couldn't use my computer until recently :( It infected my computer after I posted all my other stories and chapters so they weren't affected. I don't know why some of my stories aren't loading up completely for some people...sorry. Okidoki, I've been writing and writing and at this point, I'm tired of using the pen and figured I should start typing up this next chapter before I get any further. Also, anonymous reviews should now be accepted for my stories for those of you who are interested in reviewing. Thanks a bundle folks! Please read and review.

D'oh! : I almost forgot to tell everyone, this is a shounen-ai fic and yes Inulover, it's mainly for Hyoga and Shun (Aren't they just the cutest thing you ever saw) ahem sorry, I get all giddy when I think about the two of them. I doubt I'll add any lemony fresh scenes, because this is my first yaoi fic and I'm not that good, but I'd like to think it's worth reading just for the story don't you? (Narrowly avoids getting hit by an anonymous book tossed at head).

Restless And Reckless (Part Six):

By Rekkanotara

Slowly entering the designated bedroom, Ikki and Shiryu were shocked by two things. The first shock came from a sleeping form in the center of the room. Hyoga seemed to have shifted a quite a bit as he slept and was one step.... make that one chair leg away from falling to the ground. It was a balancing act like none they'd ever seen before considering the person doing the balancing was fast asleep, not to mention slightly drooling as well.

The second shock came from the pegasus saint himself.

Seiya had been sitting up in his bed staring at the other two sleeping figures in the room.

Suddenly becoming aware of Shiryu and Ikki's presence in the room, Seiya turned to look at the two newcomers with an enormous grin plastered on his face.

It was eerie and yet funny at the same time to Seiya as he was.

Shiryu brushed these thoughts aside as Seiya began to speak.

"Hey guys! What's the matter? Why do you look like you've just seen a ghost eh Shiryu?" Seiya asked as he noticed the half smirk/half smile Shiryu had on his face showing just how uncomfortable he was getting.

Shiryu didn't know why he was so uncomfortable. After all, his friend who had been badly injured when he arrived was awake and fine. There was just something about the way he was acting that rubbed Shiryu the wrong way.

Knocking him back to reality, Ikki slapped Shiryu's back while conversing with Seiya, "I see you're doing much better Seiya, now if you don't mind, I'd like my bed back. You see, dragon here isn't exactly the most still or silent of sleepers... You wouldn't believe some of the things he mutters in his sleep."

Shiryu blushed a deep red listening to Ikki talking about his sleeping habits and it was getting worse by the minute. Shiryu knew he felt something for Ikki, he just hadn't realized what he felt for him yet; for as annoying as Ikki was, he still found him incredibly strong and gentle with an unmatched compassion for his little brother Shun. And it was this thought that kept Shiryu respecting Ikki instead of just thinking the big ox was a jerk who knew how to push all his buttons.

Seiya just stared at the two dumbfounded. He really had no idea what had been going on after he and Shun were attacked the other day or where he was. From the looks of it, he gathered, they were all in Ikki and Shun's bedroom back at Saori's house. Seiya was about to start a long line of questions when Shiryu suddenly spoke up.

"Um... I'm going to call Saori up at the office and tell her the good news. Then I'll start breakfast." Shiryu blurted out in one long breath making sure not to show his face to Seiya or Ikki for too long or else they'd catch the utterly flattering innocent look he was sporting from blushing so much. In three swift movements, Shiryu was out of the room and off to accomplish the tasks he'd spoken of.

Ikki couldn't contain himself any longer and burst out laughing. He knew the normally calm and serious dragon saint always got embarrassed when people pointed out that he had quirks just like the rest of the guys. Ikki was the only one though who could see past the mature/tough guy act and loved pushing all of Shiryu's buttons.

Slowly Ikki began to calm himself and to his surprise, found his heart fluttering at the memory of the way Shiryu looked just now before he left the room. Now it was Ikki's turn to blush slightly thinking to himself, 'Oh man, I can't believe I' blushing... Must've been all that laughing I did...'

Wanting some answers, Seiya pulled the blankets off of himself and stood up. "Okay Ikki, now tell me what's been going on and what's with Shun and why am I in your guy's bedroom? And... and... and..." Seiya questioned but soon found that his legs were still a bit loose from not being used for a while.

Ikki moved to catch Seiya but was too late as Seiya had landed on top of Hyoga in a big heap on the floor.

"Arrghh! Can't a guy have a decent nap without having the house fall on him!" Hyoga yelled frustrated and wide awake.

"Oh, sorry Hyoga... guess my legs are still a bit stiff.... and what do you mean the house?!? I'm not that heavy swan boy." Seiya replied angrily as he pushed himself up using the previously occupied chair nearby. He didn't care that he had inadvertently kicked Hyoga a couple of times while trying to situate himself.

Ikki was already next to Seiya holding the smaller saint up by his arm.

Both watched as a grumbling Hyoga got up and dusted himself off.

Hyoga proceeded to fix his clothes and run a hand through his ruffled hair stating, "You're lucky you were hurt or else I'd make you pay for that Seiya." Suddenly, Hyoga began to remember the past night's events in a rush of memories and mentally kicked himself as he snapped his head to look in the direction of his best friend's bed.

Catching this, Seiya and Ikki also looked over at Shun's bed only to be greeted by a disturbing sight.

Shun was awake! All three saints gathered around the smaller saint's bed feeling both relieved and disturbed that their friend was awake. What was disturbing was that the younger teen had just been laying there silently in his bed staring at the ceiling with his emerald colored eyes. Seiya, Ikki, and Hyoga looked at each other and back at Shun unsure of what to say or do.

Annoyed with the silence and desperately wanting to help his friend, Hyoga made the first move. "Hey Shun... How you feeling buddy?" Hyoga queried.

Recognizing the voice immediately, Shun snapped out of his daze and turned his head to face Hyoga. "Mmm better." Shun mumbled as he tried to push himself up into a sitting position. He couldn't understand why this simple action was turning out to be so difficult. Feeling a soft, cotton like fabric covering his hands, Shun raised his hands up to stare at the strangely comforting fabric which had been impeding his movements. Staring at the warm bundle of cloth bunched around his hands, Shun recognized it immediately as a blush quickly found its way to Shun's face.

Hyoga just stared at his friend waiting to see what his next action would be.

Noticing Shun's reddening face, Seiya piped up, "You sure you feel alright Shun? You look a bit feverish."

Before Shun could respond, Ikki interrupted, "I'm glad your feeling better little brother. You had all of us worried."

Shun inwardly scoffed at the last comment... 'Yeah right.'

"So anyways..." Ikki continued, "I was just curious as to why your sweater is on my brother Hyoga....hmm?"

Taken aback that Ikki had noticed this little detail, Hyoga began to stutter and fidget under the strong glare of the phoenix saint. In a nervous fit, Hyoga replied, "Umm w-well you see... the thing is Ikki... Shun got cold and well with him being sick, I though it would be best to just give him my sweater instead of making him wait and freeze while I tried to find an extra blanket or something..." Hyoga didn't dare tell Ikki the truth; that he'd let his little brother wonder off to who knows where in frigid temperatures while under his supervision.

Ikki would roast his ass and then beat him senseless. Luckily for Hyoga; Shun understood and was listening much like Seiya, from a distance of sorts. But unlike Seiya and his look of utter amazement, Shun was hiding his mouth with the overgrown sweater sleeves, desperately trying to stifle his new found giggle fit, but with little success.

Hyoga had caught onto the strange behavior coming from Shun and blushed a deep red. 'Oh sure, laugh at the dead man. You're not the one who has to face Ikki's wrath if he finds out.' Hyoga thought to himself, embarrassed and somewhat annoyed that Shun found all of this amusing.
