Hey guies, I'm super sorry I got a writers block and also my summer was super chaotic! QQ So ill furiously type away!
When they got to the health room they were surprised and shocked to see Zen sleeping on the bed with Shirayuki taking care of him. She may seem calm on
the outside but they all knew of all of them here, she was the one that was taking most impact. She hated to see Zen getting hurt and not being able to do anything about it. They all looked helplessly at their friend, lying there calmly. They wanted him to just wake up and say nothing happened. While everyone
slept at night, Shirayuki stayed up to switch the cold towel for Zen. She kept staring at him and whispering to him to wake up and tell everyone your okay,
because everyone was so worried. She cried to herself silently as tears soaked her uniform, Obi opened his left eye silently and quietly went back to pretend
sleeping. "Zen...please wake up soon." Shirayuki said quietly to herself before she blacked out.
Kiki's P.O.V.
I awoken to see everyone asleep as I looked out the window to see Ryuu outside, hard at work. I smiled to myself, I loved to see everyone working so hard at
what they love. "Obi. Mitsuhide." I called quietly, Obi immediately opened his eyes. "Ara ara, kiki-jou~" He said in a quiet whisper and winked. Mitsuhide
stirred but didn't wake up. I sighed but shrugged and smiled to myself. I saw Shirayuki laying on the blanket next to Zen, holding his hand. I was worried but
not when Shirayuki was next to him. I covered her with a blanket and smiled to herself. I left with Obi. "So...what should we do? Obi, can you find out
something, anything, about what happened? Search around what happened with the head herbalist. Obi nodded and with a serious face he ran off. I sighed
and left that to Obi, all four of us trust him enough to leave it to him. I decided to check with the guards of what happened to Zen while we were not by his
side. I first went to check with the two guards standing outside the gate to secure it. "Well...Zen-ouji did not leave the castle during that time, we can assure
for we both have been here for quite a while and guards rotate every 10 hours, so someone must have seen him if he ever left." I nodded and thanked them
for the information. I quickly left to other places to find that Zen only went to three places. King Izaya's room, to his room, then to the pharmacy. I wondered
as I went back to find mitsuhide, why was he at the pharmacy? for what purpose did he have there? My mind was full of questions as I quietly opened the
door and found Mitsuhide staring at Zen with worried eyes. Apart from Shirayuki's, Mitsuhide was the second person that was a mind full of worries and
doubts. He stared silently as I opened the door, which creaked in the process, startling him and he snapped his face to me. He calmed and smiled. "Hey, Kiki."
I was worried for her companion. He was having a hard time, and I could see it. His hands were shaking behind his back. I didn't want to b too harsh on him
today, I thought to myself. "Mitsuhide, the guards said Zen have been here for something but we don't know what." He nodded to me and I looked over as
shirayuki stirred and woke up. "Kiki-san...Mitsuhide-san.." She rubbed her eyes and I smiled and walked over. "Good morning, Shirayuki." I said. She nodded
and smiled weakly. She was still tired, I could see the dark circles under her eyes, she must have been up all night to look after Zen. I was worried for her,
because people tend to collapse of being too tired. "Mitsuhide, We should get going, today we have guard duty
." Mitsuhide looked over at Zen with a face that
hurt me to see. He was thinking how he should have been with him at all costs, so he wouldn't end up this way. "Mitsuhide." I touched his shoulder as he
looked over at me, his eyes were on the verge of tearing up and he said in a small voice, "Sorry Kiki...I need to get some air.." He left in a hurry out the door
as I looked at the door that closed with a quiet click.
I sighed. I knew that he was having a hard time. But as a royal guard he still had his activities that he must port before his feelings.
My eyes looked to my side and right at that moment, i saw Zen's finger twitch, followed by a soft groan.
"Zen!"
