I own nothing. I think you know what I would do with Shadow and Lynk at this point if I did.

It was pretty early when a small yell startled Gus awake. When he entered the room, Dan was on the ground and Shun shuddering on his bed. Gus sighed. 'How did I get roped into this?' He wondered picking Dan up.

"I don't think that he want's to cuddle. Maybe you should ask before you grab. Shun seams a bit jumpy ok?" He counseled as Skyress calmed Shun.

"Shun no leave!" Dan said tearing up. Gus frowned lightly shifting Dan carefully.

"Shun can Dan sleep with you tonight. He's scared hes going to loos you." Gus said smiling weakly at Skyress. Shun looked at Dan who was still slightly teary eyed.

"Not if he goonna cry awl night. Light sweaper Gush." Shun said lightly lisping his s's.

"M' no. I jus don wanna lose you Shun."

"Cone here Dan." Shun said climbing down and onto his bed. "And no drulin." Shun. Gus smiled and turned to leave.

"Gush." It was Shadow. 'What dose he want?'

"Yes Shadow?" Gus asked turning to see the young Darkus brawler in near tears. "Whats wrong?" Shadow walked up to Gus and stumbled a few times. 'Withdrawal.'

"I don't feel good." Shadow said nearly fainting. Gus paled picking him up and running to the doctor.

The next day Gus was exhausted, between Shun's little break down and Shadow's withdrawal he had gotten no sleep. "What's the matter Gus, tired?" Spectra asked waling out if his room.

"Well between Shun's little freak out in the middle of the night and Shadow going into withdrawal, I got no sleep." Gus hissed glaring lightly. 'What the hell is his problem?"'

"I'm sorry Gus. I fell into a death sleep after the first night. I must have slept thru it" Spectra rubbed the back of his neck.

"Look Spectra, I kneed help today..." A small yell cut him off. When the two men got to the kids room July had mounted Shuns back, breading his hair very forcefully.

"July he's not your toy!" Gus said running up and pulling the girl off. Spectra was trying to calm a crying Night.

"Were Shadoo?" Night kept asking and Spectra kept avoiding her question. Gus walked up with a sigh.

"Shadow isn't feeling good Night. Doctor Clay is taking care of him for a bit until he is well again." Gus said taking her from Spectra with a glare at the man. 'Really what is his problem? You can't just avoid those kind's of questions!'

Night snuggled into Gus's grip. "When he get bwetter?"

"I don't know Night. But he will don't you worry about him." Night had started tearing up again. Gus nodded at Harpus, who took Night and started playing around with her attribute changing ablility. Ingram was amusing Shun by sticking to the roof. Drago haad become an amusement ride and was currently carrying Alice on his back. Hydranoid was trying to get her off of Drago.

'I think we should split the chores evenly.' Gus thought with a sigh, he had to go shopping latter for some better fitting clothes for the kids, and food for them. Then he had to pick up the spare parts from Clay's main lab. Finally Shadow needed medication for a bit and he had to pick it up, all whale watching all the kids. Gus glared at Spectra one more time.

"Look Gus. I will be cleaning this place up, don't worry about it. Here I'll pay for the kids and you to get lunch." Specta said handing over a hundred dollars. Gus took it and placed it in his wallet. Then he and Spectra placed the kid in the large van.
