"Yuki-chan, Rin and Utsu-chan… Wouldn't even tell me anything, even though it was something so important!" I heard Shiemi cry from the garden. A medical box came flying out of one of the windows, "I want to become strong!"

I peeked in and saw her on her knees in front of Kamiki crying her eyes out. "I really am thoroughly amazed by you." Shiemi looked up. "You're already strong, or should I say you're shameless!"

"M-me?"

"To think I actually have a friend like you… I mean. You can say something totally lame without feeling the slightest bit of embarrassment. You… are as shameless and bold as a weed!"

I sweat-dropped, 'I wonder how she'll take that?'

"…weed…"

"Hey if you're going to cry again please don't." Kamiki replied in slight fear.

"I…love weeds." She smiled, "Thank you Kamiki-san, I'll do my best just like the weeds do!"

I smiled and walked to the infirmary to check on the others.

I saw Rin passing out the watermelon to the sick he stopped in front of a door and I walked up to him.

"…And yet he's still lying in bed. Yaozou should just resign from his post of chief!" a girl shouted.

"TAKE THAT BACK YOU HOUJOU SNAKE WOMAN! DON'T DROP THE HONORIFICS WHEN TALKING ABOUT MY POPS! ASSHOLE!" a man yelled back. I peeked in the door and found the room to have two me on one side and three women on the other. The two men resembled Shima greatly and the three women had silvery-white hair and faces the gave them the look of a snake. "IN THE FIRST PLACE, YOU'RE JUST PUSHING THE BLAME FOR YOUR OWN FAILURES ON MY POPS!" the man from before shouted at one of the women.

I flinched at the tone of their voices.

"W-wasn't Kyoto supposed to be more elegant then this?" Rin muttered.

"No, it's plenty elegant, but sometimes differences arise and cause trouble." I said as we just watched them spout insults till they turned to actual hits and attacks.

Then the 'Kyoto trio' arrived and blocked each attack.

"Stop it!" Bon shouted. "What are you doing? Aren't you guys comrades?"

"Bon!"

"Ryuji-sama!"

"You're back!" I sweat-dropped when I realized they just instantly stopped as soon as Bon came.

"We're being targeted by the enemy. This is no time for internal discord!"

"But those snake bitches-"

"Even if you are from the lineage of the most high priest, and even if you're a rank above me, Ryuji-sama, something like that has to come from your father or it counts for nothing."

I honestly felt the need to hit the woman, injured or not. Instead I stood in front of her, "It wasn't an order, he was merely stating the obvious, internal conflict can affect your teamwork. We are only Exwires and we seem to understand that better then you."

The blonde Shima cheered me on and I turned to him, "I wasn't just directing it to her, both of you need to get it together as well. No one can fight alone, that's the only reason anyone has survived this long."

They shut up immediately and I headed out of the room but stopped at the doorway, "The Most high priest brought you watermelon and my brother cut it for you, so shut the hell up and eat it." I continued with my journey down the hall.

I helped to cook the food in the kitchen then carry it with the others to the guard room of the branch office.

I carried only half of what Rin did. Mainly because I'm not as strong as he is.

We finally got to the guard room and Shura was waiting for us. I handed her the bentos I had. "Here."

She looked at me funny, "Hey, Kushi-chan, is something wrong? You seem more and more like the girl I first met."

"Why must people ask me that? I'm fine!" I said angrily, "First the high priest, then the Most high priest, I don't feel like sharing how I feel. It just makes it worse!" I stormed out of the room to the guest room I was assigned.

I laid on the bed and curled up, 'Life sucks right now. Really badly…'

I heard some mumbling from outside my door. I opened it to see Bon leaning forward and drooling on the ground.

I picked up a can from nearby and looked at it, "Chuuchi? Was Bon really drinking?" then a picture of Shura popped up in my mind and I made a face, "That makes sense, she almost gave me Vodka when I first met her."

I sighed and poked his cheek, "Ne, Suguro-san, wake up." He squirmed a bit and mumbled. I giggled a bit.

"…Kushi." I blushed, 'It's just sleep-talking, why would that concern me?' I panicked in my mind.

His eyes opened slightly and he sat up.

"Where am I?"

I began to shake, "Uh, you- you're still dreaming! But you need to follow me in order to wake up.

"…Kay." We stood up and I led him to his room, my face was still red by the time we got there and I just looked down while I pointed to his room.

"Here, just fall asleep and you'll go on to another dream."

"Is this really a dream? Do something the real Utsukushi wouldn't do."

I did the first thing that came into mind. I stood in front of him and kissed him on the lips. His eyes widened then he pushed me away. "Y-yeah, Utsukushi would never do that."

He walked into his room and closed the door.

Though once it closed I ran back to mine and hid under the covers.

"Y-yeah, Utsukushi would never do that."

'That doesn't mean I didn't want to… What the hell just happened?'
