Suddenly I began coughing. "Shion?" I waved weakly at him, forcing the coughs down. "I haven't gotten sick in a while," I mused aloud. "This substance in my body probably isn't helping..." I smiled. "But back to the topic at hand - what do you want to do?" He thought about it.

"I want to watch you sleep." My reaction was delayed. "...I'm sorry, what?" He smirked. If I had registered that any sooner, I'd be blushing. "You seem to have become a workaholic ever since I left. You probably need the sleep."

As much as I wanted to protest... my body, especially my head, hurt a lot right now, it didn't help I'd had to cut down on the pills a bit, as well as what had happened last night. "Okay," I agreed.

I didn't really want to sleep. Too many memories that turn into nightmares. But maybe... maybe just this once, it wouldn't hurt. I prayed it wouldn't. The last thing he needed was for Nezumi to get suspicious.

Unless he already was... That'd just be my luck.

Warning! I will be working on an alternate storyline for a little bit. So... Uh... I'll be taking a while, 'kay?
