Lesus stared at me, expressionless. And stared. And stared.

I have to hold my ground. If I let him win so easily, he'll be more persistent next time.

And stared.

The hairs on my arms and the back of my neck rose, and I shivered a little bit. Maybe he was silently cursing me? No, Judge wouldn't do that… Would he?

And stared.

I started to play with my hands to distract myself, but it actually had the opposite effect.

And stared.

If I had been him, I would have sighed. I made sure not to though, since I didn't want to get into the habit. We were alone now, but if my teacher heard about a 'Sighing Sun Knight'… I didn't want to even think about it.

"I had been in the middle of my body mask," I said, getting straight to the point. If I can't make him go first, I can at least make him think of things he'd rather not. It worked, and Judgment's expressionless face grew a frown as he remembered the last time he had seen me in a body mask. I smiled, on the inside of course. Why? Because I would probably be murdered by Lesus if I did it on the outside. Anyways, I continued, without a smile, "when that earthquake hit. Then, as you know, Adair came and told me I was needed at the training grounds."

I paused for a moment to gather my thoughts on what came next. Judge, no longer staring at me in a freaky way, used the moment of silence to ask the main question of the day. "What made you pass out once you arrived?"

"A voice." He raised one eyebrow, and I quickly decided to be more descriptive. "It sounded like it could have been a child's, but I can't tell for sure. Whoever it was somehow made it past my mental defenses and spoke in my head. They told me they'd give me something, and then I blacked out." I made sure not to mention the temporary thing; Judge would only worry. I just hoped he wouldn't notice the missing information, or, if he did, he wouldn't mention it.

"So then, you got your vision back."

"I got my…" Wait, what? Oh right, the tapeworm. "How did you know?"

"I suspected it when you passed out the second time, after opening your eyes, then confirmed it when you were moving eyes more than usual after waking up." As is to be expected of the Judgment Knight, his deduction skills are dead-on accurate, even with next to no evidence. "I haven't let the others know yet. You need to be the one to tell them, especially Leaf. You know he's still beating himself up over that." Leaf…

"There is one thing. I can't use my elemental vision at all." I had to change the subject. I'd tell them, I just had to wait for the right time. And if it really was only temporary…

Luckily, he let it go, and nodded slowly, before replying, "Leaf said he hadn't been able to use his since the earthquake either. I assume that's when you lost yours?"

"Yes." So I wasn't the only one affected by… whatever it was. So far, Leaf and both lost our elemental vision, I was out for a week, and my vision returned, 'temporarily'. Has anything else interesting happened? And what was in that crater? I looked at Judge.

He immediately understood my question. "Come with me." Of course he couldn't just answer me, like a normal person. That would be ridiculous!

He got up from the chair he had been using, and headed for the door. Just then, my stomach growled loudly, and he turned back around to face me.

"Can't I have breakfast first?" I pouted, glancing at the pie Ice had left in the room. I was smelling it the entire time we were talking. I'm lucky I haven't started drooling yet.

Now it was Judge's turn to sigh.

Wow. This chapter looks WAY different from my first draft. heh, heh... I guess there's nothing wrong with writing the same thing seven times... Thanks for reading!
