It's quite and loud, warm and cold, all at the same time. It's confusing, but nice none the less. Like floating on a cloud, which he finds, is exactly what he's doing. Sitting up he sees an endless blue sky filled with hundreds of dozens of white, fluffy marshmallow clouds. So peaceful, so amazing, just absolutely wonderful.

A raindrop falls onto his cheek

Then more and more fall. Soon it's raining softly, then pouring. What happened? Where was the peaceful blue sky? Where did the fluffy white clouds go? Where had this storm come from?

It's time to wake up now.

He sat up quick, gasping for air he couldn't seem to breathe. Hands grabbed his shoulders and someone called his name. Everything seemed miles away. He shook his head and took a deep breath. Everything slowed back down. He looked around and saw he was in one of the ship's medical room.

"Yogi?" Yogi blinked and looked to his left. There sat Gareki, with a concerned look on his face? That couldn't be right. Where was Nai?

Nai!

Yogi tried to jump out of bed. A sharp pain flared in his chest and he fell back down.

"Stop moving around, you'll reopen you wounds." Gareki said as he laid the young man back down. Yogi let him, staring at the celing.

"Where's Nai?" He asked. Gareki paused and looked down, his hair covering his eyes. "Where's Nai?" Yogi asked again, fearing the answer he already knew.

"Our old master has him." They both turned their heads to see Liam standing at the door.

"Liam?" Gareki asked.

"Morkio." Yogi corrected softly.

"Moriko McMurphy. Sorry this couldn't be done under more pleasant arrangements." the girl said, shaking their hands. Her hair was let down and she wasn't wearing her hat. Showing bright red roots at the top of her head.

Dyed hair? Gareki thought.

She wore a short red button up dress that reached her mid thighs. She wore black skinny jeans and black boots. Her hat was in her left hand. She placed her hat upon her head, covering her bright red roots.

Her mismatched eyes glowed, but it was clear she was anything but happy.

"Yogi, how are you feeling?" She asked.

"That isn't important. We need to find Nai." Yogi said, trying to get up again.

"We can't find him if we don't know where to look and you won't be any help if your injuries keep you from fighting. Shut up and lay back down." She ordered when Yogi opened his mouth to protest. "You are under my care now, remember? If your going to be any help, you have to be in good condition before you are allowed to do anything."

Gareki narrowed his eyes at her. He didn't like her tone towards Yogi. How was this taking care of him?

She took a seat on the edge of the bed, gently rubbing one of Yogi's covered calfs in an attempt to comfort him."We all want to find Nai, Yogi, maybe us more than others. But we won't be much help if we can't help, understand?" She said softly, almost motherly.

"You..you want me to remember?" Yogi asked weakly.

"Fuck no!" Moriko snapped harshly. "That's the last thing i want. What i want is for you to be happy and healthy, little Nai ridding on your back as you act stupid." Moriko smiled. "I want you to get better. I want you to live, really live. You have something to live for, people to love and so much to see and experience." Gareki and Yogi blinked at her, startled. Her harsh and emotional response stunning them. The tall woman stood.

"There's some things i need to attend to, Gareki, walk me to the door?"Even though is was voice as a question, they all knew it was a demand. Gareki stood.

"I'll be right back." He told Yogi, he quickly followed Moriko out the door. Yogi frowned slightly as he watched the two walk out of the door.

"Did you think about what i told you earlier?" Moriko asked. Gareki blinked at her confused. "About you liking Yogi. What i said after, well, i don't know your past and you don't know mine. I twas wrong to assume you didn't live hard like Yogi and i had, but," She looked at Gareki, "That's not what i want to talk about."

"what do you want to talk about?"

"You know what. I want you to be completely honest with me. Tell me what you think, how you feel about Yogi." She said. "You like him right? You like like him." Like like? What they hell where they, elementary school kids?

"You know what i mean Gareki, you really like and care about him. I just wonder how far and how much that feeling goes."

"He's..."He's what? Gareki thought. amazing.

Gareki blinked. What the hell-?

"Hahahaha! You still don't get it?" Moriko looked at him at surprised but very amused look on her face. "You really need to think this over. Let's start with this, i say a word and you say the first thing that comes to mind, yea?" He shrugged. What the hell, they where almost at the entrance anyway.

"Sky." Moriko said.

"Blue." Gareki responded with a raised eyebrow.

"Orange."

"...The fruit."

"White."

"...Nai."

"Come on, taking to long to respond, hurry up." Moriko reprimanded. "Tsukumo."

"Strong."

"Hirato."

"Annoying."

"Books."

"Library."

"Tomato."

"Red."

"Violet."

"Eyes."

"Jewels."

"Eve."

"Gun."

"Mine."

"Boom!"

"Explosion."

"Love."

"Yogi." Gareki stopped and stood with his eyes wide and his mouth open. He blinked at Moriko, who was grinning like a Cheshire cat. He felt his cheeks heat up.

"You better do something soon then. Yogi is dense when it come to things like this, at least, when it's directed to him. You might want to start slow, no surprising him, thought it'd probably benefit you to. Don't want you freaking out and havin' a heart attack now. What if some big meanie steals Yogi away for himself?"

Gareki could picture a big shadow figure trying to stal away Yogi, and Yogi fighting it and running to him. He felt the tips of his ears start to burn. He shook his head quickly. What the hell was he thinking?

"One more time before i go." Moriko laughed softly. Gareki glanced up. They where at the entrance.

"Alright." he sighed, the heat in his cheeks dying down.

"Bed."

"Yogi." Gareki stopped and spluttered, looking at the wide grin on Moriko's face.

"Oooooohhhh, Gareki~ Someone's got a dirty mind."

"I d-didn't mean it like t-th-that! I meant him sleeping!" Gareki stuttered, his face red.

Moriko tsked shaking her head. Her grin seemed to be even wider now. "Well, that doesn't really sound any better. Rather creepy if you ask me." She laughed. "See you later kid. Tell Yogi to be good and that he listens to you until i get back. Don't go crazy with that now." She winked at him and left.

Gareki was left standing at the entrance, his face burning bright red as he hoped Moriko's grin split her face in half.

I dunno, i had to. A bit of a fill while i get back the hang of things. I have slight idea for what happens next. Please review!

Bye~
