"Yuki, can we take him to your place" Shiemi asks looking at Yukio
"But lunch is ending soon and we all have class" Yukio pretests
"But if we don't do something he will get really sick" Shiemi retorts
Yukio stares at her determined face and sighs.
"Alright let's hurry"
The group make their way to the dorm the twins share. Arthur wraps his arms around himself to try and stay warm.
"Yuki, can you give Arthur your coat?" Shiemi asks
Yukio hesitates before giving a small sigh and nodding. He takes it off and holds it to Arthur. Who takes it with a thankful smile.
"Thank you, lad" Arthur says draping it over his shoulders
"Lad?" Yukio says, confused
"Boy, it's a British term"
"You're British?" Izumo asks excitedly
"I am"
She runs forward and practically shoves Yukio out of the way to walk next to Arthur. Shiemi's eyes light up.
"British, that's so cool" Shiemi says
Arthur is delighted to have the girls on either side of him. They aren't walking for long before the end of lunch bell rings. Yukio stops and turns to the others.
"You should all head to class. Me and Shiemi will take care of Arthur"
"But I want to get to know him better" Izumo whines
"You can come see him after class" Yukio offers
The others reluctantly agree. Yukio turns to leave but stops when he sees Rin following.
"You too Rin"
"But I live there too"
"You still have class to go to now go or you will be late"
Rin grumbles and reluctantly leaves.
"Can we go please?" Arthur asks as another shiver runs through his body
Yukio nods and the three run with Yukio leading the way. When they arrive he opens the door and they head inside.
"You should take a bath to get warm and Yuki and I can find you some clothes" Shiemi instructs
Arthur nods and Yukio leads him to the bathroom.
"Just leave your stuff outside the bath and I will bring you clothes later"
"Alright thank you"
"It's no problem"
Yukio turns and leaves. Arthur enters the bath and starts the water then strips himself of his wet clothes. When the bath is full he steps in and sighs.
"This feels nice"
"It does"
Arthur opens his eyes and looks at the mint colored bunny floating in the water.
"Mint, how are you?"
"I'm good. The water is really warm"
"I know, try not to soak too long"
"I won't"
"Shiemi, can you keep an eye on Arthur while I get him some clothes?" Yukio asks, taking out one of his keys
"Of course~" Shiemi answers happily
Yukio nods and after putting his key in the door and opens it he is in the market place. After a bit of searching he finds a clothing store and enters. He picks out a white shirt, green jacket and black pants. He doesn't know his shoe size so he will lend him some slippers. After paying for the stuff he heads back to see Shiemi sitting in a chair outside the bathroom.
"Shiemi, this isn't what I meant by keep an eye on him" Yukio says
"Oh sorry" Shiemi says with pink cheeks "But I did keep an eye on him and…"
"And what, is something wrong?" Yukio asks, worry rising inside him
"It sounds like he is talking to someone but I don't know who" Shiemi replies with a frown to show her worry
"I'll check it out"
Yukio walks into the bathroom, his hand on the gun at his waist. He can hear Arthur talking as well as another high pitched voice replying. Suddenly the voices stop confusing him.
"Yukio?" Arthur calls
'How?'
Yukio walks to the bath and seed Arthur sitting in it. There is no one else there.
"Arthur, who were you talking to?" he asks
Arthur blinks and stares.
"I'll tell you if you tell me why you and Rin have pointed ears and a tail" Arthur says
Yukio's eyes go wide. He can see? Alarm and panic rise in his stomach. He can't tell but if he doesn't he will find out another way. Arthur may not look like it but Yukio can tell he is the kind of person who does certain things to get what he wants.
"Fine, when your done come to the kitchen and we'll talk" he says after a bit of silence
Arthur nods silently. Yukio puts down the bag of clothes and briskly walks out. A worried Shiemi greets him.
"Are you alright Yuki?" she asks
Yukio nods and walks past her.
"He will be out soon and needs something to eat" he mumbles
Shiemi nods and follows Yukio to the kitchen.
