[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

“Doctor! Come quick! Doctor Ken? Damn it man where are you?”

The kind doctor poked his head out from one of the rooms, long red hair swinging, “What's wrong Gojyo?”

“It's Hakkai! He's having some sort of seizure! Hurry!”

“Oh no! I'll have to go get him a serum, you go and try to hold him down okay? Make sure that morphine drip stays in!”

“Got it.”

They broke and ran in their separate directions. Gojyo did his best to hold down the demon. That is until Hakkai began to form a ball of yellow chi in his hand.

“Oh shit Hakkai, stop!”

The frail man was screaming too loud to hear him. It was time for drastic measures.

Gojyo sat on the edge of the bed, still fighting the struggling arms of the man.

“One, two…THREE!”

He let go of the arms and leaned down, grabbing his friend in a hug around his thrashing torso. The yellow light grew slightly.

“Hakkai,” Gojyo whispered in his ear, “I love you, don't do this.”

The yellow, chi powered light died immediately, but the alarming shaking still gripped him.

“Help me Gojyo.”

“I can't, just wait a little longer. Doctor Ken is coming, he'll help you.”

“Don't let me go, Gojyo, help me.”

“I'm not letting you go. And I never will. That's why you have to live. If you stay with me forever, I promise I'll hold you and never let you go.”

The seizures slowed in his limbs until only his stomach pulsed spasmodically under Gojyo's own, his deep eyes focused intently on Gojyo's face, which was dangerously close to his own.

Gojyo felt a blush rise onto his tan face, immediately self-conscious of the feelings he had just professed, he tried to avert his eyes, but the sheer harsh gaze of Hakkai's fevered eyes kept him from looking away.

“You love me?” the gentle voice was ragged with the screams he had let lose not a few minutes before.

Gojyo didn`t hesitate, “I do.”

“I wish you would have told me this before…when I could have done something…I don't…” He reached up to touch Gojyo's face.

Gojyo began to cry, “Don't talk…just…just save your strength.”

The salty droplets fell and landed on Hakkai's pale face.

“Don't cry Gojyo…please don't cry…you can't do that to me…It's not…fair…Gojyo…not fair…” Hakkai struggled for breath, his eyes rolled back into his head, and his entire body seized under Gojyo, who's tears increased as he jumped off his friend.

“Don't do this Hakkai!”

The door swung open and the small doctor stood with a syringe in hand, he pushed Gojyo out of the way, “MOVE!”

The tall kappa tripped over his own feet, and fell to the ground, where he wiped clear his eyes and looked on in a numbed shock as Ken administered the shot, and Hakkai's body relaxed.

Gojyo jumped up, worry etched on his face, “Is he…?”

Ken was breathing heavy and he leaned up against Gojyo with a sigh, “No. He's more comfortable now though. He's in big trouble Gojyo, I wish I knew how to save him.”

“He can't die.”
