A/N: Heeey. I realize this update is a day late, but when I went to post yesterday I just kept getting a message by the servers were down. Anyway, I finally got on. Sorry for any OOCness, typos and crappy writing. My updates will likely be about 7 hours later than I planned on starting next week because school, but I'll do my best to make sure I don't update late again. Alright, enough of my lame excuses. R&R, I'm always open to prompts, and any prompts I've gotten so far I have looked at and for the most part started writing. Enjoy the story.

The conscious Tamakoma agents were gathered in the living area, thinking.
"If this were anyone else, we'd be overreacting. But the fact that Yuma just passed out on you guys is a little creepy, given that I've never even seen him sleep before. He's never even seemed tired," Konami stated. The others nodded in agreement.
"We just need to figure out what's going on. I guess we could ask Yuma when he wakes up. Or maybe you saw his future, Jin? Any hints?" Osamu asked. The Elite agent shook his head and sighed, running a hand through his hair.
"No. Actually, my Side Effect doesn't seem to be working whenever I try it on Yuma. I just see nothing, as if I didn't even have the ability so see the future. That's what's bugging me the most. First Yuma goes completely out of character, then my Side Effect won't work on him," he explained. Osamu nodded, analyzing possibilities.
Osamu couldn't really think of anything that could be causing the situation. He was close to Yuma, and had been the Neighbor's first friend once he came to Japan. He cared deeply for the other boy, considering him his best friend, almost like a short twin brother who was good at everything. Osamu was always proud of Yuma and no matter what he never felt even the tiniest twinge of jealously toward the Neighbor. He knew Yuma had a paid a heavy price as he gained his abilities, one Osamu hadn't even come close to paying. Though he got a bit closer during the second invasion.
"Wait," Osamu said suddenly. While thinking about Yuma, he realized that he barely knew anything about the teen's past. He knew Yuma had "died" in a war, but was saved by his father. Unfortunately that was how he lost Yugo. He also knew that Yuma had done a lot of traveling, though other than that he was clueless.
"Maybe this has to do with Yuma's past. I don't know about any of you, but the only thing I really know about him from before he came to Japan was that he lost his father. I also know some of the details behind that and I know he did a lot of traveling, but that's it. Maybe Yuma saw something that reminded him of his past and brought up bad memories. It makes sense. Even the strongest people can completely break down when they are reminded of bad memories," the raven haired agent explained. Next to him, Chika nodded.
"I think you're right, Osamu-kun," she agreed. Chika would be lying if she said she wasn't worried. Yuma was an extremely strong individual, mentally, physically and emotionally. She looked up to him like he was an older brother, since he always took good care of her, just like Osamu and her actual brother. The fact that someone like him had been reduced to a quivering mess was shocking and even somewhat scary. If there was something out there that scared Yuma that bad, there was a possibility something equally as bad could come for her Trion. At least she knew her friends wouldn't just give her up, no matter how scary or strong the opponent.
"Actually, I think you're missing something, Osamu," Jin suddenly said, his eyes narrowed in concentration.
"Yuma explained some of his past himself and was unaffected, or at least he handled it well enough that he didn't give anything away. I don't think it was just a memory. I think he might have actually seen something that either was something from his past of looked very similar and he mistook it for something. Either way, we should probably all keep an eye on him," he said. Reiji looked around at everyone.
"So you think he's in danger?" Reiji asked. Jin's head snapped up.
"Actually, I was thinking he might do something and get himself hurt. I don't think he's in danger, but it's always a possibility for anyone," he mused out loud. The others all lowered their heads as they dropped deep into thought.
"I was thinking, what if this is all a false alarm? I know Yuma dropping like that was completely out of character for him, but maybe there's nothing really going on," Konami said, breaking her silence. Het face scrunched up slightly in focus. No one really had a response. When it came down to it, there were too many possibilities. Maybe they were reading too much into it, but after everything that'd happened to Yuma that they knew of, they knew there was almost no way to narrow down the possibilities.
Upstairs, the bed in Yuma's room creaked as the person laying on it woke up.
