Recap:
"Shido…" I whispered once more under my breath. That was the last thing I said. My last smell, a familiar smell of animal, my last sight, the memory of Shido, my last feeling, the feeling I felt when I first met him.
Maybe this was the end….
I stinging of alcohol woke me up. I quickly grabbed my cheek and hissed a sound.
A soft, gentle hand took my hand and placed it to my side. I opened my eyes and saw a blonde nurse standing over me, a smile on her face.
I deduced I was in the hospital.
I turned my head and saw Kazuki sitting down, a book in his hand reading it intensely.
"Hey." I said weakly, getting his attention.
He looked up from his book and smiled.
"Oh, hello." He said as he stood up and walked over to me as the nurse walked out.
"How are you feeling?" He said standing over me the light reflecting off of his hair.
"Better." I said, pushing myself against the back board. I winced as a pain shot through my leg, but as soon as it came, it was gone.
"Well, Ginji and Ban are coming in about and hour or so." He said, walking over to the chair and pulling it over.
"Oh." I said, reaching over to the pitcher of water and pouring myself some. I drank it one gulp.
I closed my eyes and tried to remember what happened, but all I could was remember a blue light.
I let my eyes rest, the sun kinda hit my eyes. But a feeling, a feeling of someone watching me caught my attention.
I then opened my eyes, and saw Kazuki looking at me.
"What?" I said as I sat up once more and picked an apple out of one of the fruit basket's I was given.
Kazuki looked at me and smiled.
"What?" I said, eating an apple(1)
"Nothing. Just one question." He said looking at me, mischievousness in his eyes.
"What?" I asked again.
"What did you mean when you said "Shido" yesterday?" He said, smirking.
I gulped.
I had forgotten about that! HOW COULD I HAVE BEEN SO STUPID!
"Um….well…" I said, my cheeks redding.
There was then a knock on the door that snapped me back to reality.
Ban and Ginji were standing in the doorway.
"Hey." Ban said as he walked into the room holding a bag of chocolates.
"Hi ya, Touzoku! How you doing?" Ginji asked, with a wrapped present in his hand.
"Fine." I said, smiling.
"Thought you were on a job?" I said, taking the presents from them and beginning to open them.
"We met some…." Ban said, shifting his weight with anxiety.
"…Some help." A girl said as she walked into the room.
"Himiko!" I yelled, happy to see her.
"Hey, Touzoku." She said, pulling out a present also.
"…Damn it, Himiko!" Ban yelled, jumping out of his seat.
"What?" Himiko said, innocently blinking.
"…." Ban said, sitting back down.
"So you were the help they met?" I asked, taking the presents and setting them aside.
"Yep." She said, sitting at the end of the bed.
Everything was silent for a few minutes. Nobody seemed to know what to say, or if they should say anything.
"Well." Kazuki said, looking at his watch and standing up.
"I have a job to do that has to be done in 24 hours." Kazuki said slipping on his coat and opening the door.
"I'll see you in about two days or so, Touzoku." Kazuki said, waiting for an acknowledgement.
"Bye, Kazuki." I said waving.
Kazuki smiled and walked out. He silently closed the door, and walked down the pass.
"So, what happened?" Ginji asked, standing up and walking over.
"Yeah, thief boy, what did you do to get you into this situation?" Ban asked, taking a cigarette out and about to light it. He thought for a second, took in a breath, and put it back in the pouch.
I took in a deep breath and begun my story. I told them about my sickness, since Himiko didn't know, and I told them about the man in the daggers, and the shield. But, I left out the part of the confession. No one needed to know that.
"So, what I can get from your story." Ban said drinking his third glass of water.
"You need a guard here during the nights." He said, looking at me and adjusting his glasses.
"Yep." Ginji said, smiling at me.
"What?" I said, blinking.
"You heard me. You need a guard." Ban said, slightly angry.
"I second that." Himiko said, pulling out a vile of her perfume and twisting it between her fingers.
"We should make a chart." Ginji said, putting a finger to his chin and looking up at the ceiling.
"How longer are you going to be her, Touzoku?" Himiko asked, pulling out a cell phone.
"Two days." I said, pulling out a sheet of paper from my side draw and a pen.
"Well then." Ban said taking the paper and pen.
"….I'll guard the night, and Ginji can do tomorrow morning." He said, drawing on the paper.
Himiko hung up her phone and gave a faint smile.
"Shido will be here is five minutes." She said.
"That's right!" I thought.
"Where is Shido? He was supposed to be back from the job about…" I said thinking. How many days have I been in the hospital?
"Two days." Ginji said.
"TWO DAYS?" I said, eyes bulging.
"Ban nodded, not even paying attention.
"He was held back. Some person looking for and had found out that you were living with Shido." Ginji said, looking at me with no emotion on his face.
"Of course, they attacked him, thinking that you would be with him." Himiko said, looking at me with concern.
"Is….is her okay?" I asked, my eyes beginning to water.
"And I guess that Shido can do the night and…Jubbei can do the morning." Ban said, still paying attention to the chart. He never cared about Shido.
"The great Shido? Being beaten by a few Assassin Service people? Your really don't trust him do you?" Himiko said with a smirk.
Ban looked up, and shifted his glasses to rest on his nose.
"He's here." He said, rolling his eyes.
There was a crash and a scream.
"Sir you can't go in there!" A nurse said.
"Let me go!" I a male voice said. There was a crash, and a boom and then another shrill scream.
The door swung open and there stood Shido. He was breathing heavily, and his hair was a mess. He had scars and blood dripping from his face and arms. His shirt was also ripped in half.
"Hey, long time no see, Monkey boy." Ban said smiling.
"Shut up, snake for brains." Shido said, glaring.
They both stared at each other, a lot of bad karma in the room.
"Umm…hi, Shido." I said, wanting to settle the atmosphere.
Shido looked at me, a glare in his eyes. But something was different, his face relaxed and his muscles seemed to change from a scowl, to a innocent face.
"Touzoku." Shido said, walking past Ban as if he wasn't there.
He pulled a chair from the side and pulled it next to me.
"Are you ok?" He said, pulling a rag from the side and wipping some blood off of his face.
"Yeah." I said, the burning sensation coming back. Where had all this pain come from? I didn't get hit by daggers….
"You don't look ok." He said, taking his hand and pulling some of my hair back. With little effort I tried to push his hand away, but a tingling sensation held me back, something just felt so right…
"That's right." I whispered.
"What?" Shido said, his animal senses kicking in.
"Nothing!" I said blushing looked down at me blankets.
Shido seemed to stare at me and drop the subject.
"I have to be more careful." I thought in my head.
"You fought well." Shido said.
"What?" I asked, distracted.
"Kazuki called me and told me everything. I only got the message about ten minutes ago." He said.
"Yeah, creating a shield? And stealing powers? You are a truly different type of person." Himiko said, shifting her weight to lean against the wall.
Shido dipped his head untied his white headband. Without the band, his hair fell down slightly. Carefully, he folded it and stuck it out to me.
"Everyone seemed to give you a present." He said shyly.
But before he continued he gave a complete glare to the rest of the room. It took everyone a few seconds, but they caught on to the signs.
"I think I'll be going now…." Himiko said, a sweat drop on the side of her face, slowly moving to the side of the room.
"Yeah…I think we should go to." Ginji said, smiling a bright smile.
"Why?" Ban asked, completely oblivious to the situation.
"Come one Ban, lets go and get something to eat." Ginji said, holding back a laugh.
The door slammed and for a few seconds, it was quiet.
"Like I was saying." Shido said, handing me the bandana.
I was dumbstruck, not knowing what to say.
"Thank you….thank you Shido." I said, feeling very uncertain. Shido didn't have any feelings for me, why was he giving me this?
"It's just a present." He said, rubbing the back of his head.
"No no, its more then a present. It is something special to me. Something that I can take back to….." I said looking down at the blankets.
Tears dropped.
"Back to your world?" He said, looking at me with intensity.
"Yes." I said, looking up at him, tears falling like waterfalls.
"Who said you're going to go back?" Shido asked, cocking his head to the side.
I looked up at him, a strange look swimming in my eyes.
"But…but I have to." Looking at the ceiling. The white lights made figures and shapes.
"Well…I don't think, you have to go." Shido said, taking a definite stand.
I smiled, and turned in the covers.
"Maybe I don't." I said, slowly drifting off to sleep, with the white bandana in my hand.
