Recap:

"Yes." Kazuki nodded.

"and I will have to deal with it." Kazuki said.

"Then let's go." Shido said. Escorting Juubei Kazuki, and everyone else into the room. He knocked and took a deep breath.

"Here we go."

I opened my eyes blinking. What had happened? Why was I in the hospital?

Then I remembered. The fight, everything about it, and all of that. But I only had one

questions; where was Juubei?

I tried to remember, to remember if Juubei had come to visit me at all yet, but he hadn't. The only person who I could remember who did visit me was Shido, and he wanted to tell me something. Something about…. I couldn't remember.

The door slowly slid open. I looked to my left and saw Juubei, Kazuki, and Shido standing there.

"Hi Juubei!" I said, smiling back. He gave me a faint smile.

"Hello, Touzoku." He said. He awkwardly sat on the side of my bed, while Shido a Kazuki took a chair.

The others tried to walk in, but a nearby nurse stopped them.

"I'm sorry, but only three visitors in the room are allowed. And visiting hours will be over in a couple of minutes. You will have to come back tomorrow." She said, smiling.

The others grumbled, but relaxed and gave me a wave, Ginji, giving the largest.

"One of you may stay during the night, if you like." The nurse said, taking out a sheet of paper.

"I will just have to record your name and what relationship you have with the patient." She said, clicking the pen.

"I'll stay." Shido said, taking a step forward.

Juubei gave him a glare.

What was between those two? I wondered, tilting my head to the side.

"I mean…." Shido said, looking down at his feet.

"I'll stay." Juubei said stand up, adjusting his goggles.

"And your name?" The nurse said.

"Juubei Kakei, age twenty." He said as she jotted it down.

"Relationship?" She asked.

Shido glared, Kazuki twitched, and Juubei became silent.

"Significant other." He said, sitting back down.

"Thank you very much." The nurse said, walking out.

"Remember, visiting hours are over in five minutes." She said, winking.

All room was silent for a few moments, the Kazuki face lit up, as if he had an idea.

"Touzoku, may I ask you a question?" Kazuki asked.

"Sure." I said smiling.

"What do you think of Shido?" He asked, girlishly.

"That's enough, Kazuki." Shido said, stepping forward in an aggressive manner.

Kazuki smiled.

"Please, facing me in a battle would truly be the stupidest move of your life." Kazuki said, tugging on his bells.

"It's alright Shido, I don't mind answering." I said. Shido was sure acting strange.

"Thank you, Touzoku." Kazuki said, releasing his bells. Juubei put a hand on Shido's shoulder, making him retract his claws.

"Not the time." He whispered in Shido's ear.

"Your answer?" Kazuki asked.

"Well…I think of him as a very good friend. Someone I can always depend on." I said.

"And what do you think of Juubei?" Kazuki asked.

Now it was Juubei's turn to be mad, but Shido just put his hand on his shoulder also.

"Not the time." Shido whispered in his ear.

"I think of him as someone I want to spend the rest of my life with." I said, smiling.

I opened my eyes and saw the expression on Shido's face. Something mixed between anger, rage, sadness, regret, embarrassment, dreadful feelings, and the urge to cry.

He turned around, and walked out of the room.

Kazuki waited for just a second.

"Well, I have to go and catch Shido, Touzoku. The doctor said you will be out in about four days, just in time for Christmas, so we will see you then!" Kazuki said, giving a quick wave, and then disappearing behind the door.

"Did I say something wrong?" I asked, looking at Juubei.

For a second, he said nothing. The expression on his face was pure nothingness, but then he answered with a smiled and a rub on my head.

"Nothing at all." Juubei said.

"Now let's get some sleep. It's late and you are still injured." He said, sitting in a nearby seat. He then waited for a moment, stood up and brought the chair close to the bed, so close, I could smell his cologne.

Night, Juubei." I said, nodding and smiling.

"Night." He said, tilting his head back.

I was beginning to drift to sleep, but there was still one question in my mind. Was Juubei always this cold, and why could I not remember anything about me and Juubei before this moment?

But sleep soon consumed me, and I fall asleep.

Down the road

"Shido wait up!" Kazuki yelled. Shido was about fifty feet ahead of him, and walking fast. They were on a road towards Shido's house, but it seemed that Shido had taken the scenic way home.

Kazuki finally gave up running. Shido was defiantly faster then him and if he truly wanted to, he could use his beast techniques to escape.

"Fuchoin school technique, Lotus wrappings!" Kazuki said, pulling out his bells. The white strands flew in the air and wrapped tightly around Shido's legs.

Kazuki finally caught up, only because of the leg bound Shido.
"Let me go!" He growled at Kazuki.

"We need to talk." Kazuki said, sitting down cross legged.

"Nothing to talk about!" Shido growled again twisting his body, trying to escape.

"There is. Such as your behavior." Kazuki said.

"Even if you will not talk, you will listen." Kazuki said once more.

"I know it is hard, knowing what happened, and how he loved you and you never saw it or were able to say anything. But, you heard the doctor, he said it will take about a month and then everything will be back to normal." Kazuki said.

"But if you try to rush things, such as acting like you two loved each other, like the doctor says, things could happen to his brain." Kazuki said kindly.

"So just wait. He really loved you and he will come back." Kazuki said. With a wave of his hand, the threads unwrapped themselves.

"OK." Shido said standing up and rubbing his ankles.

"Ill see you later." He said walking down the street.

Kazuki stood. He wondered if Shido would be ok, if he truly would.

If he had seen the tears drops on the ground, he would have known the answer.
