Hey I'm sorry for the last chapter coz I know that not much happened but trust me that it will be important soon. You may find out sooner than you think.

Chapter 5 – The Bond

"Major?" asked Dr. Julian Bashir.

Major Kira Nerys did answer but collapsed onto the floor of the infirmary.

"Major!" exclaimed Bashir and picked her up and carried her to the nearest bed. As soon as she touched the bed she woke up and said,

"Sisko, bond, Odo." Her speaking seemed impaired by the shock. But the shock of what was what the doctor couldn't work out. He fumbled about for a hyperspray and when he found one injected it into Kira's arm. She felt a sensation that she had never felt before. It seemed to be composed of pain and comfort and rolled in to one. Her eyes widen and she said,

"Thank you doctor, it seems to work, now can I go see the captain, it's very important."

Bashir decided to let Kira leave, so the forcefield was dropped and Kira left with another hyperspray in case of another attack. Kira nearly ran down the Promenade to the turbolift and when she arrived in OPS, she nearly tripped up on the steps leading up to Sisko's office in her haste to get there. Sisko was playing with his baseball when she entered and sat down in front of him. The first thing she did with put the hyperspray Bashir had given her on the table for Sisko to see. When he looked quizzically at it then at her she shook her head and tried to get her breath back. When she felt able to speak she said,

"Bond me Odo bond."

Again Sisko looked quizzically at her and she tried again to make her point clear.

"Me and Odo seem to have a bond." She paused and tried to decide how to put her next words. Sisko's look was the prompt she needed. "You are the only one who I have told about my love of Odo so you are the only one I can about anything connected to it. I don't ask your help as my commanding officer but as a friend." At that moment Kira heard something in her ears which sounded like part of a song, but it made her collapse like she did in the infirmary and she knew it had a connection with Odo.

'Summer has come and passed
The guilty should never last
wake me up when Kira is dead'

She opened her eyes to see Sisko leaning over her and she said,

"Hyperspray" in a very horse and quiet voice but Sisko got the message and reached up to his desk to grab the hyperspray. As soon as his hands grasped it he leant back down and injected it in the major's arm. She felt the same sensation of pain and comfort but felt better. She closed her eyes and tried to recall what he made her collapse. But another thought crossed her mind, one which seemed more important, one which she voiced aloud the commander of the station she lived on who was leaning over her. Her eyes opened and widen once more and when she spoke it was in the same hoarse voice as before but it was louder, stronger and more urgent.

"Did you tell anyone of what I told you?"

Sisko shook his head but stopped half way though and said,

"Lt. Dax knows we had a row/conversation but I didn't tell her everything you told me."

Kira sighed in relief and choosing her words carefully said,

"So she doesn't know about what I think of Odo"

Sisko shook his head again and Kira sighed in relief again. With that matter out of the way, the thought of her collapse surfaced in her mind and she heard the 3 lines of the song and the connection was certain. She looked at Sisko to try and tell him without words to ask her why she collapsed but this time Sisko didn't understand. She turned away. The words were ringing in her ears though they didn't have a tune.

'Summer has come and passed
The guilty should never last
wake me up when Kira is dead'

She stood up and once again sat down on the chair opposite Sisko with the hyperspray on the desk. She didn't know how to say what had happened. She just sat and looked into Sisko eyes, trying to make him understand. There was an awkward silence. Sisko opened his mouth and Kira thought she had got through to him, but he closed it and the sensation disappeared. Kira now opened her mouth but realised that she didn't know what to say and closed it again. After another minute of silence both Sisko and Kira spoke the same thing at the same time,

"What were you going to say?"

Kira blushed and said,

"You first, captain."

Sisko obliged and asked the question Kira had hoped he would ask,

"What made you collapse?" and as words registered with Kira she realised she had finally got through to him, or had he figured it out on his own. He decided she didn't care and told him about what she had heard and the connection she was sure it had with Odo. When she had finished Sisko just sat back and started to play with his baseball, but a glance at Kira disgruntled face made he put it down and say,

"So these visions, I suppose we should call them, are making you collapse and unable to speak?"

Kira nodded as is she was unable to speak at that moment. Sisko seemed to come to a decision. "I think we should tell Dax. She is going with you when she gets better so she should be told." He didn't bother to mention that if it wasn't for him, she would be better. Kira didn't seem too happy with that idea and suggested a compromise.

"Why don't we tell her the words but nothing else? I don't want her to know my feelings." Kira suggested. Sisko agreed and Kira left. She did not, however, head for the infirmary, but for her quarters where she sat down and asked a series of question to the computer.

Hours later Kira hadn't made much progress. She had been trying to find out where the lyrics, for knew now, they were part of a song, came from. But she had found out some things. She knew the song from which the lyrics came was not a real song. She also knew that there were lyrics like it from an old 21st century song by an old 21st century band called Green Day. The song was called 'Wake Me Up When September Ends' and she had listened to it to try and find out where the lyrics she knew were from. She found them in 3 places in the song were they could be, and the place that she thought they would be from was the beginning.

She decided that it was time to see Dax and tell her what she had agreed with Sisko to tell her, and what not to tell her.
