Once again Yuki woke up in the same bed, same room, and same old pain. Yuki thought to himself. I have to get out of this room….. I can't take it anymore. Wait- Aya- the others, I can't let them see me after what happened yesterday! Oh why did I have to fall and cry?! Uggg why- Yuki looked over at the pills sitting on the counter. Yuki moved his body slowly, scooting to the edge of the bed trying to get to the pills. And after 35 minutes he was weakly standing; his feet on the ground. He found this greatly painful and stood still, also finding he couldn't move any further anyway. Seeing how he was hooked up to machines and all. He cursed himself and looked longingly at the pills on the counter. Yuki couldn't take his eyes off of them, those little things were his ticket out of here, and he knew if he got to them in time, there would be no way of turning back. Yuki then herd the door open and found a nurse carrying in some medicine, and some vials to take some blood. The nurse, right has he saw Yuki dropped the tray and ran to his side.

"Son what are you doing! Get back in the bed!" Yuki stood there his head lowered and not daring to move. Hatori, Ayame and Shigure, hearing the loud bang looked out of the break room. Finding it came from Yuki's room they all ran; too shockingly find Yuki standing up all on his own, not desiring to get back in bed at all.

"Yuki your up and standing are you?" Shigure said with a smiling face.

"I want out of this room- I hate it here." Yuki said flatly

"Well lets get you unhooked then, and into a wheel chair." The nurse said, and called for help, which too Yuki was greatly annoyed.

Yuki was unhooked from the machines and was placed in a wheel chair. Yuki let out a sigh as the nurse that found him standing up; put a blanket on his lap to keep him warm and to hid the bladder tube that kept his body from working extra hard.

Aya looked at Yuki and said. "Can I wheel you around for a bit?"

"Whatever, just don't go flying through the halls happy and wheeling me down a hill." Shigure laughed at Yuki's flat statement.

"As long as you do that Aya, I think you could wheel Yuki around for a bit." Hatori said with a under standing smile. Aya returned the smile, and backed up The wheel chair and started pushing Yuki down the hall.

"OH, no hold on Yuki I forgot something!" Aya put on the wheel break and went back in the room and grabbed a brown paper bag. Yuki was quiet much of the time, not saying a thing. "You enjoying yourself Yuki?" Aya said happily. There was no response, so Aya desisted to stop the talking altogether.

Aya pushed Yuki outside to a nice clean area under a tree. Putting the breaks on the wheel chair, Aya then sat up agents the tree looking up the sky. Yuki was surprised by his brother's actions but was silent as well looking up at the clouds. Aya smiled and grabbed the brown paper bag and reached inside. Yuki watched closely wondering what his brother had in store for him. Aya pulled out a plate and a napkin and put it on Yuki's lap. Yuki watched closely and his eyes widened when he saw his brother pulled out a Chocolate Carmel Gumdrop. Aya gave it to Yuki and sat back again agents the tree.

Yuki's hand shook as he touched the treat. "Th- thank you Ayame….."

"Your welcome Yuki, enjoy." Yuki took a bite of the treat and ate it in silence. Watching his brother looking around at the soundings.

"Ayame? "Could you-"

"Yes?" Aya said trying to hold back his happiness.

"Thanks- thanks for being here….."

"You're my brother Yuki, and I love you. You might not relies, but there are people out there who love you, just don't forget it ok?"

Yuki started to feel ashamed of himself. Here he wanted to take the pills not feeling like he could go on anymore, but then as his brother spoke; he felt the most loved he had ever felt before.

"How- How did you find me?" Yuki spoke with in a quiet voice. Aya sighed and thought how he would answer the question.

"Well- I had gone to Shigure's to see how everyone was doing, paying a visit if you will." Yuki was wondering were his brother was going with the story. "You were gone for along time and Shigure suggested going to your base. When we got there we found your body lying in mud- - - not really breathing… we ran to you and pulled you out prying you were still with us."

Yuki started to feel ashamed for asking the question, seeing his brother's pained face remembering what he had seen. His little brother barley hanging to life. Aya griped his hands into fits, trying to fight some tears.

"We called Hatori, and he hurried to you, Shigure, gave you CPR while I held your hand a-"

"WHAT! Yuki said in a completely discussed, horror voice. YOUR TELLING ME THAT PERV PUT HIS LIPS ON MINE!? OH WHY DIDN'T YOU – Yuki felt himself gag, Aya chuckled and handed Yuki the empty brown bag. Yuki threw up greatly while Aya, watched his discussed brother. "The thought must have pretty bad to make him throw up" he said amused in his own thoughts.

"HOW COULD YOU LET HIM DO THAT!" Yuki continued to be angry what Shigure saved his life.

Aya starting to find himself getting angered stayed silent and waited for his brother to stop with *whys* so he could continue what Yuki, wanted to know. Yuki calmed down and waited for Aya to continue.

"Hatori came and had to shock you back to life- Yuki- you don't know how hard that was to watch- your body-" Aya was about to start to cry when Yuki spoke up.

"Thanks Ayame, Think we could walk a little more?" Yuki tried to change the scene so his brother wouldn't start to cry in front of him.

Aya stood up and went up to Yuki, and took the barf bag and threw it away and continued to wheel him around. Yuki touched his eye patch trying to get the gel glue off, which secured his eye.

"Stop Yuki, keep it on."

"I don't want it on-"

"Keep it on" Ayame said in a stern voice.

Yuki had never herd his brother's voice sound so serious; but Yuki continued to push his brother's buttons. Yuki found a small gap where the gel glue was loose and tried to pull the patch off. Ayame stopped the wheel chair and placed his hand over Yuki's covered eye. "Don't you dare try to remove it."

"You have no say in the matter Ayame-"

"I have all say Yuki, and if I say don't take it off, you don't take it off." Ayame found himself beginning to sound harsh with the way Yuki was speaking back to him.

"You can't enforce here, so there's nothing you can do." Yuki said in a smug voice.

"Oh Yuki, yes I can, I believe you have a scheduled sponge bath today, and if you don't listen to me, I will help you do it." Aya said smugly as well. "So you better do as I say."

Yuki's eyes widened. "You wouldn't dare!"

"Yep I would, happy brother bonding!" Aya said happily.

Yuki knew Shigure and Hatori would be with him all the way so Yuki sat in the chair quiet the whole ride, that was until his stomach started to hurt. Yuki moaned in pain hunched over. Aya stopped and went by Yuki's side.

"I- I don't feel well…" Yuki said with his teeth grinding.

"Let's get you back to the room, Hatori will know I bet what's wrong."

When they came back Doctors and nurses crowed into the room talking to the two cousins who looked greatly worried. When they saw the two brothers, the doctors ran to Yuki who was in pain.

"Where were you!" A doctor said snapping angrily at Yuki, and his brother.

"I was outside, so back off." Yuki said harshly to the Doctor.

"Yuki." Hatori said in an angrier tone.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Aya said worried that Yuki was in great trouble.

"We had no contact with you that's what!" A nurse scolded the now embarrassed snake. We need to get blood, give him more IV fluid, cheek the scars and see if they are still intact, get him a sponge bath, the works! You can't just take him out for as long as you wish!" Aya backed up letting the doctors get to Yuki.

"Hands off!" Yuki said hitting one of the doctors arms. Covering his stomach

"YUKI" Hatori, again scolded Yuki. Yuki hunched over in pain not wanting the doctors to put him back in bed. The doctors seeing this took a look at Yuki's chart. They went over everything and then it hit them.

"Yuki, did you have anything to eat while you were outside?" Yuki nodded. "What did you have?"

Yuki groaned and said in pain; I had a Chocolate Carmel Gumdrop…."

The doctors faces looked at him in udder shock. Shigure gave himself a hard face palm, as Hatori looked at Aya in disbelief. Aya shrunk back more not wanting to be yelled at anymore.

"Give him this." The doctor said to the nurse, and prescribed more pills for Yuki to take. Yuki was given the meds, and he took them greatly. A nurse took Yuki into the bathroom and started getting him ready for his sponge bath. Much to Yuki's dislike, he didn't try to fight with the nurses who came to help him. While Yuki was getting his sponge bath, Ayame got a long lecture of what he did wrong.

"Honestly Aya… what were you thinking?" Hatori said his arms were cost.

"I was thinking Yuki could use a little cheering up!"

"Aya, eating sugar makes the body and his insides work harder. I thought you would give him some in the room- I would have cut up little pieces, he can't have that- I mean he can't have much. I'm not angry at you Ayame, but I am disappointed." Aya bowed his head, then looked up remembering Yuki threw up.

"But Yuki threw up when we were outside. Wouldn't the pain, or the work on his stomach be less?" Aya said questioningly.

"Wait, wait wait, what?! Yuki threw up?" Shigure said alarmed.

"Yea…." Aya said not sure of what to say.

"Do you what caused this?" Hatori question opening up Yuki's medical chart.

"Yuki wanted to know how we found him- so when I told him Shigure gave him CPR, he kind of- threw up." He tried to hide his blushing smile. Shigure soon as hearing this burst out in udder laughter and fell over unable to contain himself. Hatori as well chuckled and Ayame joined the laughter as well.

Good friends even in hard times, shared in a good long over due laugh.
