Okay! Let's get this chapter rolling and find out if the couch flip actually worked LOL

Chapter Twelve

The couch suddenly flying at them scared the men to move away. Yuki grabbed me and ran out of the balcony. The men started shooting, but oddly no bullets hit us. I glanced back seeing Lily holding her arms out, blocking all the bullets. My heart skipped a beat. "Yuki, she's taking everything."

"Don't worry she must have some barrier up." He jumped off the balcony, and I started to scream. If Lily was up there holding the army off who was going to catch us! The ground was coming closer and closer by the second. Yuki held me closely just as we stopped in mid air. I looked up half expecting to see Lily holding us but Hiro and Suguru was holding Yuki's shirt and pulling us up into a helicopter. I was surprised that Yuki's shirt didn't rip.

I took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "Thanks, guys. That was close."

"K-san saw trucks and helicopters flying towards your house so he hijacked one and came as fast as we could," Hiro said.

"Couldn't you get here faster, K-san?" I complained, leaning against one of the seats still trying to catch my breath.

"I could always drop you from here," he replied.

"No! No! That's okay. Sorry for complaining."

"Where are we going? I don't think we should go back to N-G," Suguru said.

"New York," Lily said, jumping into the helicopter, scaring everyone.

"She's okay. She's with us," I said quickly, watching K draw his gun.

"New York. That's where I think Mindy is. We need to find her so she could help Shuichi."

"What's wrong with Shuichi?" my best friend asked.

"Those scientists injected something inside of him. My mother is the only one that would know how to cure it."

My stomach began to hurt, and my lightheadedness was back. I felt much hotter than ever before. I wasn't paying attention to what Hiro and Lily were talking about. I was loosing feeling in every part of my body. If it weren't for the rapid beat of my heart, I would have thought I was dying.

Yuki glanced at me and pulled me closer to him. "What's wrong?" he asked.

"I'm feeling really sick and hot. Plus my body is getting numb."

"Have you tried thinking about something else?"

"It's difficult with the world spinning around me."

"You're shivering."

"Am I? I feel extremely hot."

Yuki pulled me closer to him. "Try singing something. Usually you get a lot of energy from singing."

I closed my eyes and for the first time I couldn't think of the lyrics to any of my songs. I started freaking out. "Yuki, I can't remember."

\

"Remember what?"

"My music. I can't remember how they go!"

"Calm down. You're probably too worried to remember right now." Apparently my freak session caught the attention of everyone else in the helicopter. Hiro started to hum The Rage Beat. I started to calm down and the words suddenly came to mind.

I took a deep breath and began singing the song as if I sang it a hundred times again. When I was done, I smiled at Hiro. "Thank you, Hiro."

"Anything for my best pal. You're looking pale."

"I'm not feeling too well."

"It'll be another ten hours before we reach New York," K interrupted.

"K-san, can this helicopter make it there?" Suguru asked.

"It should. It's a military helicopter. It's made for long distant flying. You all must get some sleep. I'll wake you up when we get close."

I leaned against Yuki and fell into a deep sleep. I don't remember what I dreamt of, but I remembered it wasn't good. I was trapped somewhere. I woke easily and looked around to see everyone else sleeping. I moved away from Yuki and sat down in the seat next to K. I put the headphones on and started to talk to him. "K-san, how close are we?"

"Maybe five more hours. Are you still feeling sick?"

"Yeah. I can't really sleep."

"Try sleeping up here. Maybe you were just uncomfortable."

"I don't know. I just feel too sick to sleep anywhere."

"Why didn't you call us and let us know you were in trouble again. We were all worried about you when you didn't show up for practice."

"I didn't want to get you all involved. Plus, I didn't think it was this bad."

"Where are we landing in New York?"

"There's an apartment that belonged to Mindy. It's somewhere near Central Park."

"We can land illegally there."

I laughed. "I guess since we have you now we'll be safe."

"Damn right. See now why didn't you come to me right away?"

"Next time I'll come to you immediately."

"There you go. Try to get some sleep."

I sighed. "I'll try, but I don't know if I'll be able to sleep."

"Try anyway. The best way to fight off any sickness is rest."

"You're right." I shifted in the seat and took the headphones off. The helicopter was starting to feel cold so I suppose my body temperature was finally lowering. I didn't feel much better, but hopefully my fever going down was a good thing. I slipped into another deep sleep not hearing the others talking about how concerned they were for me. My body was now controlling itself, and it said it was sleep time.

I agree with Shuichi. Sleep time. Thanks for reading please review!
