IMPORTANT NOTE

I noticed that I was extremely vague about the Duel Virus in the first three chapters. So, I'm going to explain the Duel Virus a bit more thoroughly. When someone gets the Duel Virus, they would feel like they would want to duel nonstop. They can still stop and eat and all that, but they just can't sleep. They would be too restless to sleep. Thus giving you the reason why the nurse was trying the give Judai the tranquilizer. The Duel Virus can also do things to your brain. I don't have much knowledge about all these medical things, so I'm sorry if I get some things wrong.

-----------

Jun jerked in surprise as he felt something on his lap. He then looked down. He saw Judai lying on his lap. He was confused on why Judai has fell onto his lap. The medicine must've made him fall asleep already. Jun then lifted Judai up by his shoulders, so he can wake him up. He then noticed a stream of dark liquid coming out of Judai's mouth. He gasped as he noticed that it was blood and not drool. He used one hand to reach for his PDA and took it out. He used one hand to look for the nurse's number. He then waited for the nurse to pick up. When the nurse didn't reply, Jun angry slammed his PDA down onto the grass. Shit! The nurses must be on break! Out of all the times they had to be on break! Jun then just looked at Judai, not really knowing what to do. He then noticed that Judai was not exactly breathing correctly. He managed to take small breathes, but only once every ten seconds. Jun then remembered that it was probably cold outside and it would be difficult to breathe in cold air. Jun gently lifted up Judai and made his way to his dorm room.

-----------

Jun lay Judai down in the center of his bed. He took one of his thick blankets and placed it over Judai. Jun went over and whipped Judai's mouth clean with a small wet towel. His bleeding seemed to have stopped. Jun then noticed that Judai was sweating. He walked over to the sink and cleaned the small towel with warm water. He then walked over to Judai, sat down next to him, and placed the towel over his forehead. Jun looked at his clock. It read 21:30. He looked over at Judai. Judai's breathing somewhat was a little better than before, but he's still at a unsafe condition. I might as well make some coffee since I'm sure I'll be watching over him until the nurses come back. Jun then stood up and walked over to the stove. He moved his kettle over to the sink and turned on the water. He then placed it over to the stove and turned on the stove to high. He then walked back to Judai. About five minutes later, the kettle started to whistle. Jun walked over and turned of the stove. He poured some coffee into his cup and poured hot water into it. He grabbed a spoon in the drawer near his sink and started to mix the coffee. He then walked over to Judai while sipping his coffee. Jun continued to look after Judai.

-----------

At 23:45, Jun noticed that Judai's breathing stopped. Jun panicked at this and started to PDA the nurse, without thinking that the nurses are probably still out on break. "Damn it! The nurses are still out!" Jun cursed out. He then slammed his PDA onto a desk. A thought then flew past Jun's mind. "Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation…" Jun then looked at Judai unsurely. "If that'll help with his breathing…" Jun then positioned himself on top of Judai, so he could give him Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, or CPR, and started the procedure for CPR. After about five minutes, Judai started to breathe again, but only one breathe after eight seconds. Jun got off of Judai and went to drink some more coffee. At around 3:00, Judai's breathing stopped completely again. Jun then went over and gave Judai CPR again. At around 6:00, Jun started to feel dizzy from breathing for Judai, since he hasn't really been breathing much for himself either for three hours. Jun then leaned diagonally upwards, getting ready to breathe for him again. "I…can't do anymore…" Jun then fell onto his bed, exhausted.

-----------

Jun awoken at 9:10. He then leaned himself upwards. Jun then saw Judai, he was still breathing, but only one breathe after ten seconds. Jun grabbed his PDA off his desk and PDA the nurse.

"Hello?" The nurse asked through the PDA.

"I'm bringing Judai over."

"Is there something wrong with Judai-kun?"

"He's not breathing…well, not much."

"Oh, my! Hurry and bring him here!"

Jun nodded. He then hung up. He placed his PDA onto his PDA holder on his belt and carried Judai off his bed.

-----------

"He'll be stable for now. I've already called the scientists to come and check up on him." The nurse said. "But I'm curious, how long was he like this?"

"Well, he did cough up blood when the fireworks started yesterday…"

"He what! Why didn't you get help right away!"

"I did call, but the nurses were out for Christmas." Jun said, showing a small amount of annoyance that the nurses would be on a break at a time like yesterday.

"Oh. Well, I'm sorry and as well on the behalf of all the other nurses." The nurse, feeling ashamed, since she felt bad for not being on duty.

"Do you know when the scientists are going to come?" Jun asked, changing the topic.

"I believe they will be arriving around late afternoon. You can do other things while you wait for them."

"…I'll stay here."

"Are you sure? There's nothing much to do here and aren't you going to eat breakfast? It's not healthy to skip."

Jun shook his head. "I'll stay here, until the scientists come."

"Well, will you like for me to give you something to eat? A snack at least." The nurse offered.

"Anything is fine." Jun then walked over to a nearby chair and placed it besides Judai's bed. He sat down and looked at Judai with worried eyes.

"Oh, alright then." The nurse then walked off. A few minutes later, the nurse came back with hot coco. She handed it to Jun. "I'm afraid we've ran out of snacks, so I hope this will do for the time being."

Jun took the hot coco. "Thanks." He then took a sip from it and placed it resting on his lap.

"If you need anything, PDA me." The nurse then walked off.

-----------

Jun stood up, walked over to a nearby trash can, and threw the empty cup in. He looked at the clock. "It's only 12:00..." Jun then placed a hand on his stomach. "And I'm getting pretty hungry…" Jun glanced over to Judai. "I'll be right back, so don't die on me." He then ran out of the nurse's office and to the Osiris cafeteria.

-----------

"Manjyome-kun!" Sho yelled out, running towards Jun who was holding a plate of rice and grilled fish. "Have you seen Aniki? I didn't see him come back yesterday night…"

"Why are you always asking me these questions about Judai?" Jun asked, not wanted to loose any time getting back to the nurse's office.

"Well, it's because I noticed that Aniki has been hanging around you for awhile and I thought you might know where he's gone."

"He's in the nurse's office."

"Huh! Why! Is Aniki okay! Did his eardrums pop during the fireworks!"

"No, his eardrums did not pop during the fireworks. He's just fine, okay?" Jun said, not wanted to worry Sho over Judai.

"Oh, okay then…" Sho then noticed the plate of food. "Why are you carrying food for? Is it for Aniki?"

"No, it's for me. Now if you don't mind, I would like to get going." Jun then continued walking quite quickly.

Sho then jogged over to Jun. "Why are you in such a hurry and why don't you just eat in the cafeteria?"

"Maybe because I don't want to. It's stuffy in there and this is how I walk."

"Oh, okay then." Sho then stopped. "Well, if you hear anything about Aniki, tell me okay? I have to get back on studying for the test we have after break!"

Jun just kept on walking, hearing what Sho said, but didn't really answer.

-----------

At around 19:20, the scientists came to take a look at Judai. Jun exited the nurse's office and waited outside for the scientist to come out and tell him what was wrong with Judai. Jun looked at his watch, which read 20:05. "What's taking them so long?" Just then, the scientists exited the nurse's office. Jun went over to them. "Well, what happened to him?"

"Well, it seems that the medicine that didn't make him drowsy right after he used it wasn't strong enough to keep the virus in suspended animation, so it started to affect his body again. We gave him some medicine, so he should be fine. Just don't give him any of the medication that doesn't make him drowsy."

Jun nodded.

"He's well enough to leave the clinic, so I bid you good day." The scientists then walked off in the direction of the helicopter they came in.

Jun entered the nurse's office.

"Hey, Manjyome" Judai said, noticing Jun's appearance.

"Sanda." Jun corrected him.

"Oh yeah, right, Sanda."

"Anyway, are you coming out?"

"Oh, right!" They both then exited and walked towards the Osiris dorm.

-----------

"How are you feeling?"

"Well, I've been better." Judai smiled. "Oh, and I just want to know something…"

"What?"

"I'm not sure if this really happened or not, and I want you to answer truthfully!" Judai then paused.

"What is it?" Jun asked, getting a little impatient.

"Were you by any chance…" Judai then blushed a bit. He then looked down, finding the grass interesting. "give me any medical procedure to keep me alive that had to do with you being…close to me?"

Jun blushed as he remember that he gave Judai CPR last night. He then turned away. "No! Why would I do something like that! You were fine when I gave you to the nurse!"

"But…wasn't I coughing out blood?"

"You stopped. You were stable." Jun then faced Judai. "Even though you were imaging that, why would you even imagining something like that?"

"Eh… No reason." Judai then laughed. "There must be something in the medicine or something! I would never think of something like that!"

"Whatever, Dropout Boy."

"Though I wish it were real…" Judai mumbled really softly, so Jun couldn't hear.

-----------

Jun continued to give Judai his medicine daily and Judai continued to follow him around wherever he went. The day before New Years, Judai knocked on Jun's dorm room door at 7:50. Jun groaned as he got off his bed. Since he was too lazy and tired to wake up earlier and change out of his pajamas, he was still in them. He walked over to the door groggily and opened it.

"Good morning, Manjyome!" Judai said happily. He then noticed that Jun was still in his black, top two button unbuttoned, silky pajamas. "…I…uh… see that you're still in your pajamas, but that's okay!" He then lifted up his syringe, cotton balls, and alcohol. "I'm here for my medication!"

Jun just stood aside for Judai to walk in. Judai then made his way over to Jun's bed and sat down. Jun closed the door, locked it, and made his way next to Judai. He lifted the sleeve up Judai's arm, cleaned it, and injected the medicine into his arm. He then threw away the items that weren't needed for later use. Jun yawned and lay next to Judai pulled his blanket over him. "You can sleep here if you want, since it's still early…"

"Huh!" Judai was surprised that Jun would even offer him to sleep in his room, none the less, next to him in his king size bed. "A-are you sure?" Judai was blushing now, not knowing if he should take this chance or not.

Jun slightly nodded, starting to drift off into sleep.

"Um, okay then." Judai then pay down next to Jun. He moved onto his side to face Jun, but Jun unfortunately is facing the other way. At 10:00, Judai leaned up to see if Jun was asleep. Judai then smiled and scooted a little closer to Jun. Judai then wrapped his arms around Jun's waist and nuzzled against Jun's back. Some of Judai's hair and brushed against the back of Jun's neck. The neck being the weak of Jun, made him shot up, holding the back of his neck with his right hand. Judai being surprised to this reaction, jumped up.

Jun then faced Judai. "What the hell do you think you're doing!"

"I, uh, I didn't mean to!" Judai answered, lost in his words thinking that the reaction was from hugging Jun and not because of his hair.

"Get out."

"Huh?" Judai didn't want to believe what he was hearing.

"Get out." Jun said, a bit slower, but with more anger.

"Bu--"

"I said GET OUT!"

Judai flinched at the sudden outburst from Jun. Judai then got off the bed and ran to the door, unlocked it, ran out, slammed the door, entered into his own dorm room, and locking the door. Judai slid down against the door and started to sob.

-----------

At 12:00, Jun exited his dorm room and decided to go eat lunch. When he sat down, Sho went over to him. "Manjyome-kun, did something happen between you and Aniki?"

"What made you say that?" Jun asked, annoyed that Sho kept on asking about things between him and Judai.

"Because Aniki ran into his room right after he exited yours and he won't let me in, saying that he wants to be left alone."

"Well, it's probably because he's scared of needles!"

"Uh? Needles? Why would Aniki have needles?"

Jun not wanted to answer that question. He then continued to eat his food.

"Um, Manjyome-kun, I take it that you don't want to answer that…"

"The medication he needs to take for the Duel Virus is in the form of a needle. I had to help him with it and I guess he was in so much pain that he ran out of my room and into his, crying."

"Uh, okay then…" Sho then walked off.

After Jun was done, he decided to go and talk to Judai. Jun was aware that Judai was hugging him in bed, but if his hair didn't brush against his neck, he wouldn't have really reacted and continued to pretend he was sleeping. He had to ask Judai if he had feelings for him. When he was in front of Judai's door, Jun knocked.

Judai hearing this knock, thinks that's it's probably either Sho, Hayato, or in the worse case, Jun. He decided not to answer and pretend that no one was in the room.

Jun being impatient started to shout. "Judai, I know you're in there! Let me in!"

"No I'm not! Leave me alone, Manjyome!" Judai then covered his mouth, just realizing that he revealed that he was in the room.

"Ah ha! So you are in there! Let me in, I just want to talk."

"What is there to talk about?"

"I just want to talk."

Judai stayed silent for a while, thinking if he should let Jun in or not to. After about five minutes, Judai stood up, unlocked the door, opened it, and moved aside so Jun could come in. Jun walked in sat on a nearby chair. Judai closed the door and leaned against it. "What do you want to talk about?"

"Why did you do what you did back in my room?" Jun asked, just getting to the point.

"I was sleeping. I must've thought you were a teddy bear or something." Judai answered, saying the first thing that came to his mind.

"I doubt that. Tell me why you did what you did or I might get the wrong idea."

"I already told you! I must've thought you were a teddy bear! Is it wrong to think that!"

"Yes it is, especially if that teddy bear is me. I don't take lightly to people who thinks I am their personal teddy bear."

"Well, deal with it, okay!"

Jun sighed, giving up on squeezing out the real answer out from Judai. He then stood up and walked to the door. "Move." Judai then moved away from the door, so he was next to Jun. "Oh, and find someone else to help you with your medication." Jun said, still facing the door and making no eye contact with Judai. He then exited and entered into his own room.

Judai was shocked on what Jun said. He slid his back against the door and started to sob heavily.

-----------

Jun checked his clock. It read 20:00. He then took his PDA and PDA Sho.

"Hello? Manjyome-kun?"

"Has Judai took his medicine yet?"

"Medicine? I don't know."

"You mean, he didn't take it yet?"

"Well, I didn't see him do anything with a needle."

Jun became worried. If Judai didn't take his medicine around the time he was suppose, the virus would start to affect his body again. "Check in the drawers and look for syringes that are labeled night."

"Uh, okay." Sho then moved over to the drawers and started to look. "They all say morning."

"Well, keep looking!"

"Um, okay." Sho then moved over to the sink to see if Judai hid it somewhere there. "Um… Manjyome-kun?"

"What?"

"Um, there's a bunch empty syringed in the sing and there are needles in here too." Sho then picked up on of the syringes. "Hey, they're all labeled night."

"WHAT!"

"Manjyome-kun, is this bad? If Aniki doesn't take his medicine, then he'll…"

"Go and look for Judai in the forest. I'll look for him around the school."

"Uh, okay." Sho then ran out, as well as Jun.
