-Chapter 9-

A week had passed and I had gotten to the point where my body had become so weak that I couldn't get out of bed. Scared, I called Fuji because I didn't want to worry anyone else. The one who I could rely on most was Fuji. After all, we are now sworn brothers, and I knew Fuji wouldn't freak out on me now.

"Syusuke…" I said weakly.

"Kojirou? Is there something wrong? You don't sound so good…" Fuji asked.

"I don't know…my body…it won't move," I told him.

"Kojirou! Just stay there, okay? I'll be right over!"

With that, I heard a click and so I hanged up my phone, closing my eyes as my body was covered in sweat from my muscles becoming so tense and weak. "Hurry, Syusuke…" I huffed out.

Waiting for Fuji felt like waiting for a snail to travel around the world. I just felt like I was getting worse and worse, and, yet, there was no signs of Fuji. I couldn't blame him, though. The distance between us was great, in a sense. Eventually, I started to breathe harder and louder, still waiting, looking out the window, as random memories of my past flashed before me. My head was spinning, and I felt as though I was about to pass out when I heard Fuji's voice! Smiling in relief, I thought I couldn't have been happier to hear the sound of Fuji's voice…calling my name…

"Syusuke!" I tried my best to yell, my chest aching afterwards.

"Koji! You're going to be alright!" Fuji reassured me, leaving into the bathroom quickly and coming back, placing a wet cloth on my head. "I'll get breakfast for you, and then I'll call a doctor, okay?"

Weakly, I smiled and nodded. Closing my eyes, unable to move, I prayed for my life, because, even if I lost Atobe, I still had all of my beloved friends and family there for me. There was no way I was going die now.

Eventually, Fuji came with my breakfast. I tried my best to sit up and eat. I could never forget how hard it was already to just lift my spoon full of soup. While I ate, Fuji called the doctor about my condition. When he did finish talking to the doctor, Fuji saw me struggling with lifting my spoon and, instead, fed me with his own hands.

"Kojirou…You're going to be okay…" he, once again, assured me.

I don't know when, but I passed out eventually, only to wake up and finding the doctor standing beside me. I checked around my surrounding, glad that I was still at home.

"I'm not sure about his condition if he will live or not, but I will try my best to get him to become healthy again," the doctor told Fuji.

"Thank you so much, Doctor," Fuji's voice spoke.

"No problem. I'll bring in the equipment from the hospital. It seems best not to move him right now until he's in a better condition."

"What's wrong with Saeki?" I heard Fuji asked.

"It seems Saeki lacks a lot of nutrients he's supposed to have…My guess right now was that he was anorexic or bulimic."

"So, practically, Saeki had an eating disorder…"

"Did something happen?"

"He broke up…with his lover."

"Ah, I see…Now things are starting to make sense why he has an eating disorder. Depression can get to people easily, and an eating disorder is not abnormal. Now, I'll be going. Make sure that Saeki stays hydrated."

I heard a door closed after that. "Fuji?" I asked.

"Hm?" I heard him hummed back.

"I'm going to be okay…right?"

"Of course you are…You're going to be alright."

Everything started to feel foggy, and I felt so hot and sweaty. Fuji would get me a glass of water and pour it into my mouth every couple of minuets or so. I don't know how long it was before the doctor came back, but he came back, and, this time, with equipments that was going to help me stay alive. The tiredness and weak feeling I felt was overwhelming and indescribable that I had passed out again without knowing. Truth was...I tried my very best not to pass out again.
