Summary: We meet the other daemons and Makoto feels ill
Disclaimer: I own nothing. This is fiction
Poolside
Makoto sighed as he walked to the pool, Vendari a comfortable weight against his leg.
"You're thinking too loud."
"I'm not thinking Vendari."
The daemon let out a sound Makoto knew was meant to be a laugh.
"Of course you're thinking. All you ever do is think. Then you you over think. I bet I know what you're thinking about too."
Makoto raised an eyebrow, looking down at his daemon.
"Haru."
"Like you're not thinking about Celandia."
The panther sniffed, ignoring his human.
"You need to talk to him."
"I don't need to do anythaagh"
His answer was cut off by a slicing pain in his stomach. Makoto doubled over, arms wrapped around himself. Vendari paced around him, occasionally nosing at his cheek, offering as much comfort as he could. With a few deep breaths, Makoto straightened himself up. He took a few shaky steps, leaning on Vendari.
"What the hell was that?"
"I don't know. I just got a really bad pain. I've never felt anything like that before."
"Hm, let's get to the pool. You can sit down and get some water. Hopefully, it's just a bug."
"Hopefully."
Haru raced through the water, Celandia, his sea otter daemon, swimming by his side. He was racing Rin and, as usual, he was winning by a slim margin. He touched the side of the pool and emerged from the water, a small smile on his face. Rin climbed out of the pool, frown on his face.
"Well, congrats again Haru. You win."
"As always."
Aesina, Rin's Tasmanian Devil daemon, said. Celandia nudged her friend, trying to cheer her up.
"Oh,come on Rin, you can still beat me. And Rei."
Nagisa threw his arms around Rin, his penguin daemon, Aello, wrapping his fins around Aesina. Rin huffed and pushed Nagisa gently away.
"Rei! Get into the pool. You still need to work on your form."
Rei snapped his goggles into place, his butterfly daemon, Liana, fluttering over his head. Before he could even climb onto the starting block , they were interrupted by Gou and Miho's shouts.
"Makoto, are you alright?"
Makoto came into sight, supported by Vendari and Gou. Gou's fennec fox daemon, Nicon and Amakata-san's daemon, a merlin named Gallus, watched over the tall teenager, concern in their eyes. Makoto groaned as he was deposited on the benches that surrounded the pool. Instantly, Haru and Celandia were at his side.
"Makoto, what's wrong? What happened?"
Vendari answered, speaking to Haru.
"He got a really bad when we were walking down the street, no explanation. It's been getting worse."
As if to prove a point, Makoto cried out, gripping onto Vendari and Haru's arm. Amakata-san took out her phone.
"He needs a hospital. This is no stomach bug. I'm calling an ambulance."
She turned her back to the students, speaking to the operator. The team gathered around their captain, blocking her view. The teacher turned around when she heard Nagisa cry out.
"Amakata-san, Makoto's passed out!"
