Recap:
And you did that... just to save me...
He gently ran his fingertips across Yukito's cheek but flinched when Yukito stirred and his eyes flickered open.
"Yuki!"
Chapter 5
The Darkness
Yukito tried to sit up but instead, winced, as a sudden throb of pain shot through his whole body. He decided to lie down instead. He saw his friend's face and immediately remembered all that had happened. He tried to smile to remove Touya's anxiety but only managed a groan.
"Yuki?"
"I— I'm sorry, To-ya..."
"Hush... Don't tire yourself, Yuki, okay?"
Touya tried his hard not to let his voice crack.
"...Alright..."
There was an awkward silence in the room, which was broken occasionally by Yukito who was prone to moaning in pain. Touya wiped Yukito's forehead which was covered in sweat when he realized that Yukito has burning temperature.
NO! God, no! Yuki. He has a fever!
Yukito's whole body was tense and shifting uncomfortably as he tried to suppress the additional pain in his body.
"Yuki. Don't worry, as soon as morning breaks, we'll get you to a hospital at once... You'll gonna be alright. All right?" Touya said restlessly trying to reassure Yukito and himself as well.
Touya wanted to stay awake and watch over his friend but his enemy, Sleep, conquered him easily.
Touya stirred awake and found that it was already dawn.
"Kuso! I've fallen asleep!"He hastily glanced over Yukito but didn't saw his small, silver-haired friend. Instead, he saw a beautiful angelic creature with pure white wings spread out marvelously.
Yue.
Wait...
There is one more figure...
It seems like it's— a gigantic creature...
It seems like it's a— a bear! A furious bear— that is! Maybe Yue felt it and replaced himself before Yuki...
If I only didn't fall asleep! Dammit!
Touya walked towards the fighting scene a little and watched as Yue sent the advancing outraged bear far away back to the woods with the help of the wind.
All was quiet and at peace. Touya was about to walk towards the angel but paused when Yue suddenly fell to his knees.
I've never seen Yue this exhausted. He never showed his weakness before. His other form, Yuki, must be so tired that it affected him so much.
Yue, all of a sudden, changed back to Yukito, covering himself behind his majestic wings.
Yukito, slightly disoriented, stood up shakily. He saw Touya and started walking toward his friend trying his best not to fall. He felt too drained.
Touya immediately ran towards his friend and caught him into his arms right when the latter fell. Touya sank to the ground, holding his friend tight to his chest, Yukito's upper body cushioned by his legs and arms.
His friend...
So fragile...
So vulnerable...
Touya tried his hard to repress the tears the threatened to throw away his pride.
But then— silent tears began to slip his cheeks down to Yukito's blazers, disregarding Touya's pride, just for Yukito.
Yukito opened his eyes slowly, focusing them on Touya's face. His breaths came in ragged gasps and his pale face covered in sweat.
"...To-ya..."
He sighed deeply and shut his eyes in pain as saying his friend's name seemed to take all his strength.
"Hush... Yuki. Don't talk! Just, don't talk..." Touya said nervously caressing Yuki's cheeks with his free hand.
Yukito slowly raised his arm up to touch Touya's face. He ran his hand against Touya's cheek so gently but paused and moaned in pain, closing again his eyes, repressing the pain that kept shooting through his body.
The darkness. It's so relaxing... Maybe, I should just let go...
He let his arm fall recklessly and said heaving a sigh every now and then, "I— I'm sorry, To-ya. I'm just... so... tired..."
I want to go to sleep. Sleep... and never wake up...
A/N: Wait! Wait! I think I can't control it anymore! What should I do?! I don't want MY Yukito to die!!! (Oh, oh... Here comes the possessive word!) And the bear! It just popped out of my mind! Really, it shouldn't be there... Oh well... Just send me more reviews! You know you are the reason I'm continuing this crap! So please. Please. Please... Reviews. By the way, I'm planning to end this story with the next chapter. Actually, my first plan was this story should only be a 3-chapter one. I don't know why it lasted until now!
